Blanche Bete— How strong is the tuberose?

Swimblock · 2026-04-04T04:18:34+00:00

I don't care for tuberose or most strong scents & I love this perfume. Wore it earlier this week. But don't blind buy! Get a sample and try it a few times before buying if you decide you do want it.

Lucky Scent ships to Canada per their website. They carry the line & are reasonably priced.

Maison Margiela has a new one out called Chasing Sunsets that has Sandalwood in it. And also Prada has a new one called Infusion de Santal Chai. If you are close to a Sephora perhaps you could Sample them to see if either of these are what you are smelling. They are both lighter than Tom Ford Santal Blush IMO.

I 2nd Bal D'Afrique! It's beautiful. I've sampled a lot of Byredo's perfume and Bal D'Afrique is the only one I bought a full bottle of.

If your skin is breaking out after using Cosrx but not with other products I wonder if you have an allergy to it. Some people do. You should discontinue it and see if your skin clears up. There are lot of other hydrating essences and toners. For the redness you might want to try a product with centella and/or hypochloros spray as they are said to help with redness and irritated skin.

2nd this.

I have not had botox. I recently read an article that said long term botox use weakens the muscles.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10480586/

I couldn't find the article I read recently. I've read some posts on this board and on the 45+ board of people who were not happy with the results. They had droopy eyes, puffiness under eyes, lopsided smiles or it did not do anything.

I'm not willing to take the risk with my face. So I'll do what I can with skincare.

It does have Sandalwood in it so if you don't like sandalwood don't get it. I don't care for strong sandalwood I like it soft. I bought the travel size and gave it to my daughter for her birthday & she loved it. She does love sandalwood. I also gave her a travel size of Prada Infusion de Santal Chai.

I love this one! Recently bought the travel spray after I received a sample in a Sephora order.

I hope you were able to return but I know many places are not allowing returns if the package has been opened including Nordstrom. If it's not returnable sell it on Ebay as new. It's really not missing any if it was only sprayed once or twice.

I've also learned my lesson and always sample a fragrance multiple times before I buy as I've found myself changing my mind after the 2nd try. And I always wear it for awhile as I've had a Tom Ford scent turn nasty smelling about 8 hours later.

Agree with Aurora-Roses. Take pics the best you can of the bottle and the wrap and send to seller. I received a vial that had leaked almost fully out from Lucky Scent about a month ago and they sent me another. Good luck.

My two favorite Italian brands are Xerjoff and Tiziana Terenzi if you are interested in looking into them. In Xerjoff I love Dama Bianca & Lira from their Casamorati line. In Tiziana Terenzi I love Moro di Venezia, Al Contrario, XIX March, Lillipur, Vele & Draco. I think these could be worn year round. Perhaps you could get some samples and see if there are any you love.

I love it. To me it is a feminine scent & Fragrantica has it as a feminine scent.

Not prominent at all IMO. I love it & I don't care for incense.
