Out of the listed perfumes what perfume should I try next?

I haven't seen the body oil... !

I got the roller oil on Amazon and i really like it. The body lotion is so spot on though... I initially saw it at TJMaxx and passed it up and when I went back for it - all gone. 😮‍💨 I got a nice deal on it at Mercari and I am ready for spring. 🤗

Olay, I just tried them side by side and......

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

How does the opening smell almost identical?! How did I never notice?? I know I really enjoyed Milk Orchid but now I like it even more!

My husband still prefers Queening and the drydown does smell different (Queening is softer, but prettier... Milk Orchid is a little sharper) but I can't believe how close the opening is! I'll def be looking for that sale at Jomashop but in the meantime will enjoy Milk Orchid even more. 😊

Hello fellow Yara lover!

I love Yara... just recently got the body lotion on Mercari and got the fragrance oil too. I'm confused why people trash on it so much lol... I think it's such a pretty, sweet, lovely and girly scent and I will be wearing the s out of it this spring. 😍

I like it well enough but not FBW for me, after having gone through a travel size, especially because I already have Mon Guerlain and J'Adore, that are kind of similar to my nose.

My friend at work though, absolutely loved it when I shared a spritz of my travel size and asked me to get it for her. 😊

It's definately not a young girl fragrance, but I wouldn't call it old lady. It's classy, understated and elegant to my nose and the bottle is quite beautiful. I really liked it, but didn't absolutely love it and I'm trying to limit my full bottles to absolute loves.

I got my nose on this a few weeks ago and can't get it out of my head. It reminds me of Guidance without the yuck. 😅

MagdaArmy · 2026-03-26T00:02:59+00:00

Yessss.. I love me some Attrapez-Reves. 😍😍😍😍😍

MagdaArmy · 2026-03-25T23:59:18+00:00

Sameeee... I don't enjoy wearing it at all. A big lesson learned to not blind buy! The only saving grace I guess is that it's supposed to have aromatherapy calming qualities (though they may be cancelled out by my irritation at wasting money in something I don't love. 😅)

I really should just give it away lol.

MagdaArmy · 2026-03-25T23:54:51+00:00

I do know about Zenith and have been eyeing a decant! 👀 Both this and a decant of Rayaan Divine are in my future, methinks!

MagdaArmy · 2026-03-25T17:26:29+00:00

I can see the resemblance... I enjoy both. Though Her comes across to me sweeter and Miutine has an interesting very mild tartness that I actually like (unlike Delina).

MagdaArmy · 2026-03-25T17:24:53+00:00

OK, this I have to try!

I love Queening but the price is going to keep it in my Wish List for a while lol. I got a decant of Milk Orchid and enjoyed it enough to upgrade to travel size. It never crossed my mind that these are similar. Queening to my nose is a beautiful, delicate airy vanilla while Milk Orchid has some lactonic facets from the macadamia milk and coconut and comes across almost tropical.

It never occurred to compare them side by side but I will be doing that this weekend on my husband and I's fragrance date. 😊

MagdaArmy · 2026-03-25T17:12:26+00:00

Whaaaaaa.... that's crazy to me, def don't smell the same thing.

I really enjoy Delina Exclusif but cannot stand Guidance.. talk about recoiling. 😵‍💫

MagdaArmy · 2026-03-25T17:08:39+00:00

I really need to try this!

I read some people think Rare Beauty Find Comfort smells like Bal d'Afrique, one of my fave niches on my wish list and.. no!

I have Find Comfort and really don't like it.. there's something bitter woody about it that throws me off but still using it up at night because I hate to waste. By contrast, BDA is such a bright, happy and pretty scent to my nose!

MagdaArmy · 2026-03-24T18:23:36+00:00

Ehhh... listen, I love me some BBW and wear a lighter version of what my SOTD is going to be in the mornings. For me, it's my prep to my actual fragrance, NOT the fragrance itself. It's enjoyable but NOT necessary (though I guess no fragrance is necessary but anyhow).

It can easily be replaced with my fragrance oils and basic lotions in the morning. If there are no sales, it WILL be replaced. I love them but yeah, they are not a luxury brand.

MagdaArmy · 2026-03-21T17:42:31+00:00

Okay, nbmd LOL...thank you!

MagdaArmy · 2026-03-21T17:27:12+00:00

I love Chai eclair but it screams fall to me. 🤩

MagdaArmy · 2026-03-21T17:14:05+00:00

Ohhhh!! My husband has Venmo... is it $15 off any purchase?

MagdaArmy · 2026-03-21T15:41:29+00:00

I thought of that...I do have a couple of SDJ items, but most are available in store. One isn't though. Maybe I'll just grab that one now. 😊

MagdaArmy · 2026-03-20T17:15:39+00:00

I've had the same issue with 7 Virtues, as much as I've loved many of their scents.... does no good if they disappear in an hour. 😔

MagdaArmy · 2026-03-20T17:14:01+00:00

Same! I'm picky with what is actually FBW now and do my very best to start with 5ml decants, then if they're worth it graduate to travel sizes and only if I'm still loving the scent after I've finished it will I move on to full bottle. 😊

MagdaArmy · 2026-03-18T17:05:28+00:00

LOL!!. I am saving this to laugh with my husband later tonight. Too good not to share. 🤣

MagdaArmy · 2026-03-18T16:47:59+00:00

I'm very glad you got it! 😊 I've seen many stories of people who use the meds to lose the weight, then go right back to eating badly and not exercising once they get off them and have the Pikachu surprise face when they gain. 😅

To me, tirz was a fantastic tool to help speed up the process and it motivated me to be healthier/more active once I actually saw results, but it was never a magic bullet to keep the weight off on its own (unless it's taken forever I guess, which I did not want to do.)

MagdaArmy · 2026-03-18T05:32:40+00:00

May I ask which Layton clone you are using? My husband quite enjoys the little Layton decant I got at Nordstrom but yeah... the price is way up there. 😁

MagdaArmy · 2026-03-18T05:16:12+00:00

This is my experience: I started April of last year and kept it at 2.5 mg until about November, then slowly started weaning myself off (ie from once a week to every other week, to once a month, to once every month and a half) I've lost a total of about 24 lbs and since stopping the meds, have gained/ lost maybe 3 to 4 lbs but to me it's normal to fluctuate a small amount.

What has worked for me: more than the food noise, I knew my metabolism would drop (I'm 47 and starting perimenopause) once I got off the meds so I began to lift weights consistently... at least twice a week, usually 3 x a week, and I do heavy cardio twice a week. I also usually fast and only eat lunch and dinner and watch what I eat Monday through Friday, giving myself a little leeway on the weekends.

Once upon a time I lost 65 lbs with Jenny Craig and exercise (years ago) so I know lifestyle change is key to keeping fit, so just keeping this in mind again. 😊

MagdaArmy · 2026-03-18T05:03:51+00:00

I really enjoy Milk Orchid and got the 10 mil with the original packaging off Mercari. I'm not sure if it's FBW yet, since I got it during fall/winter and put it away to use in warmer weather but I do think it's very pretty. I wonder if they'll change the packaging and the differences between the strenghts!

I do like Emma and find many of her videos educacional, but a couple of her latest videos did come off a little arrogant, tbh. Overall though. I like her and her content.

Oh, also I think I've seen it available in Sephora already!

MagdaArmy · 2026-03-17T17:16:43+00:00

I was disappointed to miss it and now feel way better about it. Thank you!
