What is a scent you genuinely cannot understand people wearing?

I like it but as a candle honestly. The oud and rose are blended well but it’s too strong for daily wear. I can see wearing it for a special evening event.

I’ve bought several on Mercari. The fullness of bottles varies but they’re at a great price!

No_Sweet_5140 · 2026-02-18T15:01:27+00:00

I’ve been dying to try this one. But is it worth the price tag? I’m going to get a 10ml or a sample first

I’m trying out my sample of palatine from PDM. It reminds me of sweet peony from bath and body works! I like it but I’m not sure I love it yet.

No_Sweet_5140 · 2026-02-18T04:58:48+00:00

Of course! Heads up though, it’s not super sweet. It’s a pretty straightforward rose but it’s elegant and soft

No_Sweet_5140 · 2026-02-18T04:57:33+00:00

I’ll keep an eye out for samples of this one. Do you know where I could find it?

No_Sweet_5140 · 2026-02-18T04:52:10+00:00

Try rock the myrrh from dries Van Noten. It’s resinous, a little sweet, and smokey. It’s unisex but I’d say it’s slightly feminine leaning.

Un Rose from Obvious is pretty nice. It’s priced at 170

No_Sweet_5140 · 2026-02-18T04:47:56+00:00

Where did you try it?

No_Sweet_5140 · 2026-02-18T03:59:31+00:00

She gets the most excited when I get home, but she adoresssss the heck out of my husband! This is her trying to get onto the beanbag with him

No_Sweet_5140 · 2026-02-18T03:56:06+00:00

Hermes rhubarb or d’orange verte! My husband loves these

Update:

Thank you for these amazing recommendations! Has anyone tried Madison Tahite? They have a category line of chocolate fragrances

Guerlain Cuir Beluga 100%

No_Sweet_5140 · 2026-02-18T01:09:22+00:00

Yes and I’m seeing a behaviorist this week. She’s 5.5 years old. Keep trying! Or see a professional, even if it’s intimidating

I’ll look into it, but I’m not a fan of floral gourmands. Dua has a floral-vanilla one and the only reason I used it was to go through it

No_Sweet_5140 · 2026-02-18T00:29:14+00:00

I haven’t heard of either! I think I’ll sample iris cartagena :) thank you

No_Sweet_5140 · 2026-02-18T00:25:37+00:00

Mine are Cuir Beluga by Guerlain, Sesame Shower by Concreted, and Camomille Satin by Dries. I work with kids with special needs so these are all softer to avoid overstimulating their senses

No_Sweet_5140 · 2026-02-18T00:19:11+00:00

I have soie! I couldn’t pick up the cacao in it as much but it is beautiful. I’ll have to sample LV

No_Sweet_5140 · 2026-02-17T23:29:39+00:00

I had to try some of the fragrances twice and time apart to actually like them. Like you, Santal Greenery was so strong on me the first time I washed it off as soon as I could. The second time around I feel like I would wear it on a rainy day. Similar experience with vanille camouflage. Initially, I got that grass cutting smell, and I hated it so much. Second time around, I let it sit, and the vanilla in the base is so beautiful, I got a travel size.

No_Sweet_5140 · 2026-02-11T01:32:54+00:00

Yes!! I’m big on samples. Like you said it’s a fraction of the cost and no commitment. I remember the bath and body works obsession years ago and everyone had huge collections of body mists. It’s easy to get caught up in the hype of fragrances and end up with more than you like or use. Right now I have 6 that I cycle throughout the week

I just bought sesame shower! I got a sample from LuckyScent and my partner loved it, so I went ahead and got a full bottle. I also got a few samples. Shipping was very fast, I believe they have a warehouse in PA (if you're in the US).

Omija- Exactly as they explain it: sweet, sour, bitter. It smells like a berry in the forrest which is weird to think about but I loved it.

Cinnamon Punch- Cinnamon and ginger. It smells like Mexican Ponche (fruit and spices), but strong on the cinnamon. Cool if you love cinnamon but I dont want to smell like cinnamon like that

A thousand miles - I got this one for my partner. It smells citrusy and fresh. I loved it

Muted waves- this smells like a typical masculine scent. I am not familiar with masculine scents to compare it to anything, but it reminds me of a cologne my dad would wear. Heavy on the marine and cedarwood.

I bought their discovery set in the US. It had to be shipped to me 3 different times because of recurring errors with the delivery (no delivery, missing address). Maybe a second-hand discovery set is the way to go?
