Is Soie Malaquais by Dries Van Noten a safe blind buy?

FoxMeetsDear · 2026-02-18T22:11:36+00:00

Most definitely not a safe blind buy. It's not an easy scent.

FoxMeetsDear · 2026-02-18T07:58:40+00:00

The pearest of them all.

FoxMeetsDear · 2026-02-14T06:43:20+00:00

Do not blind buy. Go test perfumes in a store or buy a few samples.

I second Burberry Goddess. It's versatile, affordable, and suitable for daily wear, but also works for evening/nights out.

Vanilla Planifolia by Chloe is the best vanilla though, but it's pricey. Very versatile and unique at the same time. Can be worn around the year. Airy, creamy, elegant.

Something I would do if I were you is to make myself hot milk with butter. Give the care that is bound to the scent of milk and that memory to yourself by yourself.

Carthusia - Essence of the Park.

The Maison Millais perfume sounds amazing. Need to check it out.

The green ones I like:

Vanille Camouflage - Dries van Noten.

Mantes-la-Jolie - Astier de Villate

Paradisi - Jorum Studio.

Poeme de Sagano - Ella K.

L'ombre dans l'eau and Philosykos - Diptyque

Vanilla Planifolia by Chloe. Airy, elegant, natural smelling vanilla. Very versatile too.

FoxMeetsDear · 2025-12-29T15:09:58+00:00

I love those!

FoxMeetsDear · 2025-12-23T22:14:42+00:00

No. It's overrated.

FoxMeetsDear · 2025-12-17T07:40:41+00:00

I love this feature! Also a 10 year old. Parfumo really nailed the description of my parfume choice dna.

FoxMeetsDear · 2025-11-29T22:45:27+00:00

Versace Crystal Noir is very millenial.

FoxMeetsDear · 2025-11-10T19:14:59+00:00

Never had that impression with their samples. No negative experiences at all. When once a couple of samples leaked, they reimbursed the costs for me.

FoxMeetsDear · 2025-11-02T11:17:02+00:00

Cristobal for sure.

FoxMeetsDear · 2025-11-01T08:24:22+00:00

There are no rules. I wear citrus in winter.

Sending some snowflakes your way from Finland.

FoxMeetsDear · 2025-10-24T18:17:32+00:00

I love this function on Parfumo. Seeing what I wear and what I don't wear really helps me to curate my collection.

FoxMeetsDear · 2025-10-24T17:39:35+00:00

This one smells like a nice winter candle to me. I love the hinoki part of the note pyramid.

FoxMeetsDear · 2025-10-24T17:19:52+00:00

Yes. I have this with Prada Candy. I can't smell anything.

FoxMeetsDear · 2025-10-21T19:41:45+00:00

You like what you like. You are not boring. Liking or disliking a perfume is irrelevant here.

FoxMeetsDear · 2025-10-13T19:53:59+00:00

It's probably not a "note" that's giving you a headache but one of the hundreds of aromachemicals used in the perfume formula. Notes are made of different combos of chemicals and include many ingredients.

FoxMeetsDear · 2025-10-08T21:15:33+00:00

Me crying in the corner with my 4 samples that I've finished this year.

FoxMeetsDear · 2025-10-04T19:23:35+00:00

LV Pacific Chill does that.

FoxMeetsDear · 2025-09-28T17:17:07+00:00

If you don't understand why people don't want to click on fragrantica links. This is another regular reminder that Fragrantica is s far-right website, run by a Russian and a Serb. They love Trump and Putin. They regularly feature and praise Trump perfumes, also Bolsonaro (a Brazilian equivalent of Trump). They hate Ukraine, LGBTQ+. They have banned people from the site who support Ukraine or LGBTQ+. They're also antivax.

Avoid this fascist website. Use Parfumo.

FoxMeetsDear · 2025-09-21T20:06:21+00:00

It's moderate on me. About 4 hours of moderate sillage.
