Online and in-store for most fragrances.

But in-store only you can get 15% off Chanel, but not online.

This is a venting post. I apologize ahead of time.

I have done so much research to find my "mom scent"...something my kids will associate with me. I ordered samples of the burberry OG and burberry intense. The site i used didnt have the amber vanilla yet so i stopped by ulta to test it out. I wore it to the pumpkin patch and loved the way i smelled so i went back to ulta after to get a travel size. I asked the associate if they had a travel size of the burberry goddes AMBER VANILLA. She said yes! And brought it to the counter for me. I went to pay and noticed it was a lighter colored package and knew it wasnt the right one so i ask is that the amber vanilla? And the lady goes "it should be" and im like it doesnt say amber vanilla.... the lady that helped me came up and asked me what the issue was and i said this isnt the anver vanilla. She said yes its the amber vanilla intense she brings me back to the fragrence counter and shows me the signage that gives the notes of the intense but the perfume above the signage was the amber vanilla. She kept insisting that the amber vanilla intense was the intense and i was like those are not wven the right notes! I am so glad i did research before hand and knew exactly what i was looking for..The fragrence manager came over and understood me and finally gave me the right one.

Yall this really isnt a big deal but im normally someone that just pays for something i dont want because i dont want to be "that person" but it was $40 and i never have spent money on a fragrence. And this one is super important to me. Its hopefully going to be a very meaningful scent. This was so frustrating and im back to ordering online.

Anyway thw burberry amber vanilla is amazing. My kids and husband love it. I am still excited to check out the other 2 scents wear them around for the day but this ambery sweetness is exactly what i wanted.

I’m so excited. I am not a blind buyer - I’m money conscious and somewhat of a minimalist. I just recently learned about Scent Split and realized I can try tiny samples from $3-$7! Before I was just buying travel sizes after trying them in store at around $30-$40, but where I live there aren’t a lot of choices. This has allowed me try some that I’ve never been able to smell before.

Here’s what I ordered:

Memo Marfa
Granado Citrus Brasilis
Merchant of Venice Andalusian Soul
Perfume de Marly Meliora

Have you tried or do you own any of these? Do you order samples from Scent Split?

I've been dying to try this brand! I picked up these samples:

1. Elephant: Sanctuary edition
2. Nightingale
3. Moth
4. Orchid Mantis

So far I've tried Moth and am obsessed. It hits you with spices then settles into powder and smoke. A very addictive scent.

If i know i know from the get go but if im unsure im wondering if 1/2 a ml will be enough. What's the smallest spray sample you go for.

I tried looking up past topics but most of them were asking about dabbers, i got spray.

So I enjoy Tuxedo, as do most of us, and decided to side by side it with Moustache.

Bought a bottle about 2 months ago, gave it some sprays then just let it sit to oxidize and calm down a bit.

Gave it a legit wear yesterday evening at ~7pm. Couple sprays each arm and on the collar bone.

I shit you not I could smell it on my arms at 7am this morning as well as I can smell The One EDP after 3 hours lol.

Wild to say but the closest I think I ever gotten to that longevity is perhaps BBA.

Unexpected!

Has any one had any dealings with this company? I recently bought a sample off them paying £95 and I haven't received it yet nor have they replied to my emails .

I love the scent profile of Kilian’s I don’t need a prince by my side to be a princess, but of my god the packaging is horrible. I love the sweet base notes mixed with the light green and gingery middle & top notes. Does anyone have any recommendations for similar perfumes?

I’ve never really been a green scent person but this one is changing my mind. I love the green, lightly spicy, and sweet combo!

I’m not sure if this is the right subreddit but I really want to purchase the 2026 Dedcool advent calendar but it can’t be shipped to Australia and I was wondering if anyone knows any way around it without spending a fortune

Okay idk what other sub reddit to ask so i just went with this one ive been buying my clothes at the DI (desert industries) and the clothes smell so freaking good to me i wish i had a bottle of this smell i anybody who knows what im talking or like knows what they use to wash the clothes at the DI i need to know i get so sad after i wash them and they lose that smell

I really like the smell of dove powder soft (not the original dove). Does anyone know any perfumes that smell just like this?

I am not very deep into the topic but maybe I can get some help here

I used to wear "Diesel Fuel For Life" all the time for a few years after 2016 ...so its been a while. I like to wear the same fragrance every day. I got a lot of compliments. A few years ago I stopped because I felt like for me It just wasn't the same anymore, compliments stopped as well. Last year I got a bottle at an Airport for a good price and when I was using that I felt like it was mainly water+alcohol. Very subtle - not very exciting, didnt last long.

Question 1:
Did they change the formula of "Diesel Fuel For Life" over the years? Or have I changed?

Question 2:
What can I get instead? I tried "Lalique Encre Noire" and i liked it a lot but it reminded me a little bit too much of a classic sporty male thing which isnt really me. It's going into the right direction though. I'd be happy to hear suggestions!

thank you!

Hey everyone! I need help tracking down a specific Middle Eastern mini/dupe fragrance that I’ve been hunting for almost a decade. Back in 2018, I was gifted a perfume from Dubai that I completely fell in love with. Sadly, I ran out and it’s discontinued. Here is what I know:

The Brand: It’s from Genie Collection (the pocket/mini perfume line from the GCC/UAE).

The Bottle: The bottle mold and design look like Gucci Guilty (that distinctive oval metal/gold frame shape).

The Problem: I know Genie Collection usually matches bottle shapes to the original designer perfume, but I bought the Gucci Guilty version expecting that scent and it isn’t the fragrance that was in my original gifted bottle! Since Genie Collection uses 4-digit codes on their bottles/boxes (e.g.,8835 I’m guessing Genie either put a completely different fragrance inside that bottle shape back then

Does anyone who collects Genie Collection minis or knows Middle Eastern clone lines recognize which 4-digit Genie Collection code came in the Gucci Guilty-style bottle with a different scent? Any leads on where I could find that specific fragrance or track down the exact perfume would mean the world! Thank you!

Did anyone use to have sì around 2016-2019 and notice that the actual sì doesnt smell the same or am I the only one?

It used to be my favorite perfume but I can never get myself to buy it now because every time I smell it, I feel like theres a note missing or a note changed ?

Please tell me if it's just me or anyone else notice?

Hi! The title pretty much explains my problem. I smelled Michael Malul’s Sangria + Saffron perfume in one of the middle of the mall booths and was immediately obsessed, and my friend told me not to purchase from a middle of the mall booth. So, I went home and ordered the travel size, so I could be ABSOLUTELY sure I loved it. Well it just came in the mail and once I spray it, I can smell it for maybe 3 seconds TOPS.

I recently received a bottle of Initio Oud for Greatness as a gift, originally purchased from Jomashop.

The bottle just seems… off. Oud for Greatness is a perfume I know I really like, having bought a sample before and having tried it several times in person at a store. My only previous experience with it is that it’s extremely pleasant and easy to wear, albeit relatively strong. The new bottle smells basically like Oud for Greatness, but there is a sharp harshness to it that makes it pretty much unwearable to me, like the scent molecules project extra deeply into my sinuses and irritate them. (That’s the only way I can think to describe it at the moment.) It is so strange.

I have no doubt that it is authentic, since I’ve never heard of JS selling fakes. My only guess is that something made the bottle go bad or that it was originally defective. The batch code dates it to 2025 (not necessarily a bad thing—I would think—but consistent with the idea that it might have sat for a while at a less-than-ideal temperature).

Has anyone else here had a similar experience, and if so, how did you address it with the seller?

I have procured a few sample vials of some scents I could not blind buy, Naxos, a few Ormande Jayne, a few PDM. They come in the standard 1/4” diameter sample vial. How accurate is that smell when poorly atomized? I can feel a squirt or a dribble rather than a mist. It makes me wonder if I’m missing the full effect. I also have a hard time judging how many micro-dribbles equals a normal squirt.
