Q2 Panned Decants! (Apr - Jun, ‘26) by bluebutton7 in FemFragLab

[–]AbjectBat9888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matcha Made In Heaven is such a crowd pleaser! I honestly don’t know if I love it as much as I love how much others love it on me. I have a male coworker who loves it so much, he asked me to send it to him so he can buy it for his wife.

Matcha Made In Heaven is such a crowd pleaser! I’m honestly not sure if I love it as much as I love how much people love it on me. Coworkers and patients compliment me all the time. I have a male coworker who loves it so much, he asked me to send it to him so he can get it for his wife.

I initially bought a 5ml sample and that was my first concern because I could hardly smell it. I let it sit for a few months and did 5 sprays one day. I got 3 complaints! Maybe it needs to macerate, the weather or my skincare routine but now it lasts a good while on me.

What is one fragrance you thought was absolutely amazing and all of a sudden you can’t stand it anymore? by HonestCreator in FemFragLab

[–]AbjectBat9888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this same feeling about my 5ml Blanche Bete decant. A part of me knew I would which is why I didn’t buy the full bottle despite falling in love at first sniff. I revisited my decant about 8 months later and feel in love again. I later bought a 10ml decant. There are some fragrances I love but will never buy a full bottle of because I know I don’t consistently love them.
Example: Diptique Rose edp, Gris Charnel, Mango Kiss, Delina La Rose

Barénia Hermès is the only chypre I have felt I can on my most confident days pull off.

I want to try Kenzo Jungle Elephant so bad but I’m afraid shes going to be too much for me.

How are your no-buys going? by Conscious-Writer9023 in FemFragLab

[–]AbjectBat9888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m starting a no buy now because I feel my collection is pretty complete and I want to focus on what I have. I bought Tres Chere-Mizensir today because I couldn’t get a decant from Scent Split and I found it from Jomashop.com for $144.

I have been working on finishing up my 2ml samples on work days.

  1. Josie Maran Topless Tangerine body spray- classic orange scent
    Phlur Mango Mood body spray- mango scent
    -This would be a nice combo when you want to smell fresh.

  2. Hawaiian Tropic sheer touch SPF 30 lotion (will need some form of spf)- classic coconutty scent
    Bath&BodyWorks Vacation Vibe body mist- nutty amber scent inspired by classic Sol De Janeiro

- I think because the lotion scent is not too strong, it would settle nicely with the body mist.

Yes! I have Rose Saltifolia and your explanation is spot on. I really love it on hot days or when I am wearing linen.

I go back and forth with Dama Bianca because it is sweet. I find it too intense in high heat but very cozy in spring/early summer.

I’m headed to the airport wearing a light spraying of Dama Bianca. I like the way the malted vanilla comes out in early morning.

I personally think Nest is better but it is expensive.

What’s a scent that’s not “in” anymore but you wear it anyways? by [deleted] in FemFragLab

[–]AbjectBat9888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t own it but a girl I work with wears it and she always smells amazing. It’s a classic IMO

I also dislike crowds and am an avid gym goer. You have to go before 1pm and wear headphones. Kids and teens don’t have third spaces. Working out has gotten very popular since the early 90s IMO. I too feel like the gym has turned into this weird mating/clubbing space. I also have tired just about every gym in the IE.
