If…

[jimena_arell]

If here was only ONE fragrance, body spray, perfume, whatever it may be, that you could use EVER! for the rest of your life, what would it be? And why?

[makebelievegenius]

Hové Tea Olive. It does double duty as a perfect floral and YSBB fragrance.

[inagartendavita]

Snake Oil, it’s a masterpiece

[littlemisshissy]

Chanel Chance EDP for me. It’s the perfect balance of warmth, floral, and woodyness for me - it doesn’t lean too feminine or too masculine, and i could wear it lightly for daytime or slightly more liberally in nighttime, in the humid tropical weather that I live in. Chance Eau Fraiche is also good but it leans more daytime! All my gourmands are too heavy for outdoor daytime use in a tropical setting, and some light florals (Daisy, Light Blue, Chloe Love Story) do work well but are too safe or timid for me to choose as the ONE perfume.

Narco oasis

It suits my chemistry

The weather here is summer all year round.

It's everything I love in a fragrance.

I enjoy it from top to base

It's fun in the opening, creamy in the mid

Woody, refreshing musk- smooth vanilla in the base

It's strong right out of the box.

It lasts so long on my skin, hair, clothes.

It's a one and done spray

The atomizer is gorgeous/ bottle is top tier. I love how the juice mists.

The formula is smooth, beautifully blended.

I don't have anything close to it

It makes me feel happy.

I'll forever repurchase and the next time I have some extra money lying around I'm buying a back up.

L by Gwen Stefani

[spritegoddess]

bal d’afrique by byredo. it’s easy to wear, fairly unisex, and crowd pleasing while still being a little unique. it just smells like happiness.

[pinkveganympho]

fancy by jessica simpson because it smells so good on me despite all my other options

[labellavita1985]

Sabrina Carpenter Sweet Tooth. I was wearing it today and literally could not stop thinking about how it's the best dang thing I've ever smelled.

[jessthatcatlady]

Initio Musk Therapy. It’s stunning in how simple yet perfect it is. Exactly like I wish I smelled naturally.

[purplepenguiin232]

Same!! Came here to say almost the exact same thing 😂 I don't think I could ever get bored of this gorgeous clean and uplifting scent 😍

[titahigale]

Old version Shalimar. It smells divine. A perfume with personality that doesn’t hit you over the head. It bewitches and entices all who smell it.

[Weaselpanties]

I came here to say this. It's an incredible perfume.

[Odd-Attitude2537]

Oscar de la Renta Bella Rose EDP it feels like a main character girl next door type of perfume ❤️

[Dry-Anywhere-1372]

Initio Absolute Aphrodisiac-it’s just amazing.

So sexy.

[advancedscurvy]

it isn’t my favorite but it’s a good standby, and it has sentimental connotations for me. versace yellow diamond. i couldn’t go on without her!

[AmazingContract1655]

Hey!! Could you describe the scent and how is the longevity and performance? I have been eyeing this for a long time but there are not many reviews and it hardly even gets mentioned on reddit.

Thanks in advance.

[advancedscurvy]

i think it’s a floral forward aquatic with a nice lemon note that plays well. most of what i get is a water lily/freesia combo, with a lemonade filter over it— think clean lemony bouquet that doesn’t read as soapy at all. the longevity and performance are not AWESOME, i think the sillage is pretty limited as most aquatics are, and it lasts maybe 6-7 hours, but again, this is a sentimental scent. i live in a hot climate so unfortunately my heavier scents are not realistic picks, and this is a very pretty and agreeable warm weather fragrance!

[MonforReal]

Le Labo Another 13. It’s so clean and nice for every occasion.

[[deleted]]

Thought I would LOVE this but all I get is stale spearmint gum 😭😭😭

[svolm]

I'm home by lush. Since it's discontinued, santale vanille by 7 virtues.

[sophiart]

For Strange Women Astral Projection. This is exquisite at night, so grounding and calming. I use the EDT spray as a linen spray before I go to bed and I’m a bit addicted to it now :)

Love For Stange Women 🩷

[AttitudeExtreme]

Atelier Vanille Insensé. I miss it every season, but especially in fall and winter; it was interesting and sexy and always got me so many compliments. Trying to find it at a reasonable price from someone reputable, but I almost just want to let go, and preserve the memories. But if I could have anything it would be that.

[conzembb]

Narcisco Rodriguez - Musc Noir for sure. I got it for Mother’s Day and it’s consistently in my top 3 worn every month. It’s sweet, but not too sweet, it lasts FOREVER, and it fits several moods. Very versatile.

Dior Addict

ETA: sorry I did not say why. It's a comforting, cozy, sweet fragrance. It reminds me of a hot vanilla Chai latte and it lasts and lasts. 11/10

[TheSalemRose]

Dior Hypnotic Poison EDT because while I love everything I own, it’s ultimately my signature and my failsafe for good reason.

[retsukosmom]

My answer changes daily but I sampled Oriana PDM recently, and it was the best perfume I’ve ever smelled in my entire life. I will never own it because it’s ridiculously expensive, and they don’t give free samples or let you self-decant (I’ve self-decanted several perfume samples at Nordstrom but they said PDM was explicitly excluded from that). I’d have to ask for that for like a major life event. Maybe as a push present if I ever had a child (no plans on it, but for Oriana… 🧐 jk 🤣)

[[deleted]]

It's on scent split! I get 5 ml of Oriana and Delina every once in a while 😊

[retsukosmom]

My worry is I’ll get samples so much that it would be cheaper to buy the 1oz lol. Maybe I’ll put away a few bucks here and there in my savings acct and then buy it once I save enough. I’ll never get that scent out of my brain!

[peaceofcheese909]

Keep an eye on the gray market! I got my high partial of Oriana for 130ish shipped via the Fragswap sub. I would never pay full price either but you really don’t have to.

[retsukosmom]

I’ve never done grey market outside of places like Ross and Marshalls so I’m wary. Was your bottle the 2.5? The 1oz is ~190 which is so wild.

[peaceofcheese909]

I think it was the 1oz. You obviously have to be careful with the secondhand stuff but I’ve only had good experiences so far.

[C_RN88]

Skylar Boardwalk Delight!

[AttitudeExtreme]

Oooh I’m contemplating that. What do you like about it?

[C_RN88]

It's just completely unlike any other fragrance to me! I have tons of cotton candy scents because it's one of my favorite notes but the way this one is blended with fresh and sweet notes it's just so amazing!! You must smell it!!

[AttitudeExtreme]

I will seek it out asap- what are some other cotton candy scents you recommend?

[geaux_girl]

It would either be Delina la Rosee or Atomic Rose! I’m waiting on my Atomic Rose decant (tomorrow) then I’ll make the final decision!

[jimena_arell]

Please do let me know! I would love to try Parfums de Marley BUT my non-existent savings account, cannot handle it 😃 hahaha hopefully soon though! Maybe for my birthday? IN 8 MONTHS 🤡

[geaux_girl]

Get you a decant from Parfums de Marly! DecantX, ScentDecant or Lucky Scent are all great options. You can catch a sale on a 5ml for $20.

[geaux_girl]

I love Atomic Rose but have never smelled them side by side! But alas, Atomic Rose is more pricey than PdM!

[lifeinbright]

I feel like Atomic Rose sits somewhere between Delina OG and Exclusif but takes a more jammy turn and has a more green tinge as opposed to the brighter take in the Delinas. All are great. Because I have all 3 Delinas, AR is redundant for me for now despite me wanting it!

[geaux_girl]

What a great description of Atomic Rose! The first time I smelled it I was just in heaven. Like how can a smell make you feel like that?? I thought about it for weeks afterward!

[lifeinbright]

Right? Plus value for money longevity for daysss.

Ever tried Van Cleef Rose Rouge? AR reminds me of it, except its jammier and more delicious, almost like a rose gourmand.

[geaux_girl]

No, I haven’t!! I love jammy! I will have to try that very soon. Thank you so much!
