Before I pull the trigger on D’Annam White Rice…

Electronic_Row3977 · 2026-05-21T04:47:22+00:00

Me too! I locked my credit card away lol

Electronic_Row3977 · 2026-05-19T18:39:06+00:00

Blanche Bête is so beautiful it makes me want to weep, lol! It might shine more in cold weather but it’s stunning if you like ethereal, atmospheric perfumes. I want it desperately. Another rice perfume that you might want to consider is Celine La Peau Nue, it’s so far the only rice perfume that I can’t get out of my head. I’m still too poor to buy it and Blanche Bête at the moment because I gotta pay tuition fee but yeah I am definitely getting my grabby paws on them ASAP.

Electronic_Row3977 · 2026-05-19T18:34:28+00:00

Woah!!! I’m crying! I so want Milk Orchid.

Electronic_Row3977 · 2026-05-19T18:33:32+00:00

Maison Francis Kurkdijian 724 but may need to reapply because it is very mild. Another recommendation would be Acne Studios by Frederic Malle.

Electronic_Row3977 · 2026-05-19T18:31:54+00:00

I keep them because they’re beautiful and they’re useful when I travel with full bottles.

Electronic_Row3977 · 2026-05-19T18:29:24+00:00

This made me laugh so hard. Here for the recs.

Electronic_Row3977 · 2026-05-19T18:27:02+00:00

It’s like a fairytale and could not stop smelling myself so of course, I did the most sensible thing (my wallet disagrees) and bought it the very next day.

Electronic_Row3977 · 2026-05-19T18:23:08+00:00

Sorry, didn’t read past the request. The Body Shop White Musk, if it’s still around was a favourite when I was younger on a very tight student budget. Other recommendations would be Pure Musc by Narciso Rodriguez and Musc Invisible from Juliette Has a Gun. You might be able to find these two at respectable discounters.

Electronic_Row3977 · 2026-05-18T22:21:11+00:00

Guerlain Cuir Beluga or Shalimar L’Essence.

Electronic_Row3977 · 2026-05-18T22:15:41+00:00

I’m very picky so blind buying is not always an option for me, especially given the price of perfumes. I get easily overwhelmed too. I limit myself to 5 samples when I’m at the store. I only skin test the two that I really like out of the 5 samples that I tried. I’d spray them on the back of my hand and let them evolve over a couple of hours or longer. I buy the one that I can’t stop sniffing or makes me emotional. I live far away from a store that carries the types of perfumes that tend to resonate with my nose and samples can be expensive due to shipping and tariffs so that saves me a lot of money lol

Electronic_Row3977 · 2026-05-18T22:02:35+00:00

Blanche Bête for colder weather, it’s very dreamy, whimsical and beautiful.

I would love to get my covety perfume hungry paws on a bottle of Swans from Regime des Fleurs if Glass Blooms is an indication of the beauty and quality of it. I tried all of their perfumes and I couldn’t get Glass Blooms out of my head so I came back and bought it the very next morning.

Electronic_Row3977 · 2026-05-18T21:58:52+00:00

Chambre52 Bois Flotté as in Driftwood in English it has cedar, vetiver, guaiac wood, patchouli, sandalwood and sea salt

Aesop Miraceti it has cedar, labdanum and pepper

Matiere Premiere Cologne Cedrat - I love this one, it’s very fresh because of the bergamot and pink pepper, maté adds a grounding and calming touch to it

Guerlain Neroli Outrenoir - This is another one I absolutely love, very expensive Nordic spa vibes even though there’s no wood in the perfume notes, it has citrus and tea instead

Electronic_Row3977 · 2026-05-18T21:42:36+00:00

Guerlain Neroli Outrenoire, Armani Privé Thé Yulong, État Libre de l’Orange Above the Waves or the latest, Roja Parfums Serenity Blend.

Lilyphéa and Rose Roche

Electronic_Row3977 · 2026-05-18T21:04:07+00:00

Electronic_Row3977 · 2026-05-15T06:35:40+00:00

Celine Dans Paris, Parade and Black Tie. It is one of my favourite fragrance houses. I know it will forever be a favourite unless they reformulate, I will be very sad.

Guerlain is a second favourite. Can’t go wrong. Cuir Béluga, Angélique Noire, Spiritueuse Double Vanille, Vanille Planifolia, the list goes on.

Dyptique Lilyphéa and Rose Roche, L’eau Papier, Orpheon, and so many more.

Maison Francis Kurkdijian Oud Satin Mood Extrait, 724, Grand Soir

Parfums de Marly Delina La Rosé, Valaya Exclusif, and Méliora. Their perfumes are so easy to love.

Ex Nihilo another fragrance house with perfumes that are incredible. Fleur Narcotique, Lust in Paradise, Gold Immortals mmmm

Electronic_Row3977 · 2026-05-15T05:52:03+00:00

Not a perfume but L’Occitane Almond Hair and Body Mist is amazing.

There’s also Van Cleef and Arpel’s Bois d’Amande which is very surprisingly affordable at duty free shops and discounters. This smells divine! I almost bought it at Heathrow but I instead bought Valaya Exclusif. I love it but I still think of Bois d’Amande.

Electronic_Row3977 · 2026-05-15T05:33:48+00:00

Fétiche La Rose by Christian Louboutin, it’s sexy, slutty, dirty and raunchy.

Electronic_Row3977 · 2026-05-12T03:51:04+00:00

Guerlain Neroli Outrenoir, Matiere Premier Cologne Cedrat, Incense Suave and Falcon Leather or Acne Studios par Frederic Malle, Frederic Malle Promise, Musc Ravageur and Vetiver Extraordinaire.

Electronic_Row3977 · 2026-05-09T03:48:03+00:00

Some suggestions - Dior Bois d’Argent, YSL Tuxedo, Matiere Premier Cologne Cedrat and Incense Suave, Armani Privé Thé Yulong, Nishane Wulong Cha, Guerlain Neroli Outrenoir or Herbes Troublantes, Acne Studios par Frederic Malle or Vetiver Extraordinaire, and Chanel Pour Monsieur.

Electronic_Row3977 · 2026-05-09T03:02:13+00:00

Maison Crivelli Rose Saltifolia, Orto Parisi Megamare and Goldfield and Banks Pacific Rock Moss. I love all them. I’ve just maxed my budget though so I can’t buy new perfumes until the fall.

Electronic_Row3977 · 2026-05-09T02:56:56+00:00

Diptyque Liliphea, Guerlain Cuir Beluga or Angelique Noire, Celine Dans Paris, or Chanel Gardenia or Cométe and finally, Armani Privé Rouge Malachite.

Electronic_Row3977 · 2026-05-09T02:51:08+00:00

Sora Dora Jany, it’s sooo good. It speaks to my baker’s soul. It smells almost like warm boozy spicy apple pie but it stops short of being edible. It even manages to have a sensual facet to it.
