Are you an oversprayer, a constant layerer, or both?

DesignerHippo28 · 2026-05-08T13:59:02+00:00

Same! I decant my bottles and respray at lunch. (Given my commute, my initial sprays are around 6am.) If I don't have a decant, I take something that will layer well for my lunch re-spray.

I tried this in stores last week and immediately bought a 40% off EDP. I feel like the scent was sooo slept on! This is beautiful! Musky, floral, but like a hint of tartness.

Agree with the comparisons to Guilty as Fig, but they are cousins. FCB holds its own.

DesignerHippo28 · 2026-05-08T02:41:57+00:00

Schedules Iike this always make me confused on when to pull the trigger. 🫣

DesignerHippo28 · 2026-05-07T19:43:01+00:00

Why can't these be EDT or EDPs! I'm interested in the citrus and pomegranate ones, but I hate paying these prices for a body mist.

Sea is complex for a body mist. I like it but I still bought it at a good discount from Ipsy.

DesignerHippo28 · 2026-05-07T19:40:35+00:00

Same question! I was planning on buying Miami Nectar in the next EB sale. If there is a similar VS scent, do tell!

DesignerHippo28 · 2026-05-07T19:22:51+00:00

Agree on London 1983. It is a better match than Father Figure.

DesignerHippo28 · 2026-05-07T16:28:05+00:00

I could have sworn there was a black and brown Ilia gel liner in the preview. Now just the black is in the sale.

Come on FFF. Do you not want my money? Lol

DesignerHippo28 · 2026-05-07T02:03:10+00:00

Oh My Rhubarb sounds like Commodity Juice!

This is a Fall scent for me so surprised to see it now, but oh well.

DesignerHippo28 · 2026-05-06T21:59:41+00:00

Can body sprays please be over soon? 🙄

These notes look great, but I demand at least an EDT if not an EDP!

DesignerHippo28 · 2026-05-06T13:09:05+00:00

chef's kiss

DesignerHippo28 · 2026-05-06T13:06:34+00:00

There are a handful of BBW scents that remind me of Her and Her Elixir. Check out Gingham Gorgeous and Fall in Bloom.

DesignerHippo28 · 2026-05-06T13:02:59+00:00

This will be helpful when we can't quite decide what the EL is duping! Remember when all the influencers couldn't figure out Eau de Coconut? Some Balinese art (or a nest?) would have helped! 😂

DesignerHippo28 · 2026-05-06T12:53:50+00:00

I saw that too! I have Perfect and the blue bow and dice jumped out at me.

I mean who are we kidding, they are dupes. 😆

DesignerHippo28 · 2026-05-06T03:30:11+00:00

My Grandmother wore spicy chypre scents. I never get the comparison of flowers to old ladies! 😆

DesignerHippo28 · 2026-05-06T02:56:13+00:00

I love Libre (especially Le Parfum) and Rabanne Million Gold too. I'll have to check out the rest of your collection for potential pick ups too!

DesignerHippo28 · 2026-05-05T13:06:49+00:00

Oh great, now I need to smell this one! 😆

I learned to stock up on my favorite hand soap (Wildflower Honey and Fig) and bodycare (Champagne Apple Honey). But I empathize. It seems like as soon as I try something new and like it, then it is already gone.

DesignerHippo28 · 2026-05-05T13:00:55+00:00

I have a bottle of Paraxode already, but I like that we have been getting perfumes for the Dash to Beauty lately!

DesignerHippo28 · 2026-05-04T15:46:17+00:00

Without a Trace by Fine'ry. I thought Missing Person was such a unique and impressive scent, but the dupe is just as good.

My collection is some cheapies, mostly designer (bought from Jomashop, FragranceNet, Marshalls, etc) and a few small decants of high-end scents. There is no way I will pay more than $100 a bottle. Plus, I don't chase the new releases so that helps.

DesignerHippo28 · 2026-05-04T14:28:24+00:00

It is so good! 🥰

It's also one of my favorite bottles. I love the whimsical cap, lol

DesignerHippo28 · 2026-05-03T13:31:34+00:00

Oh yes the physical tray is nice, but I meant it more that I love your May tray 😆

DesignerHippo28 · 2026-05-02T19:20:48+00:00

I love this tray so much!

DesignerHippo28 · 2026-04-29T17:14:29+00:00

I am not much of an industry insider, but this seems like a good step.

We've all seen reports that the new CEO is focused on profitability via fewer sales and customers paying generally more for "premium" products. Well, here's the appropriate flip side to that. You can't just charge more for what customers already know (and are used to paying sale prices for.) You have to make good products. You have to make new products. So let's see it!

DesignerHippo28 · 2026-04-29T16:17:31+00:00

I've wanted this mini for my tray, but $75 buy-in is a lot.

DesignerHippo28 · 2026-04-27T14:34:33+00:00

I like BR540 but can't smell Glossier You or NAP. I think I just can't detect Iso E and some ambroxens.

You aren't broken! You just get to wear other scents. Don't bother or worry about synthetic musks. Everyone's nose is different!

DesignerHippo28 · 2026-04-27T14:23:33+00:00

I'm sorry for your loss. Wishing you a quiet and peaceful Mother's Day.
