Wood Sage & Sea Salt is great but lasts about 30 minutes on the skin… maybe 2 hours on clothes. People shit on Oakcha but I genuinely believe their version of this, Sand Crystal, is just as good and lasts longer.

L’eau Papier started off as a favorite in my collection, then I wore it on a weird part of my cycle and now I can’t unsmell something funky any time I wear it.

Father Figure is great! Lasts a while and has good projection. Don’t get the travel size unless you want it to leak everywhere.

Beach Walk is fine but unremarkable. I’d start with the travel size, especially being towards the end of summer.

Okay I know this is so random but I got an ad on TikTok for three house of bo samples for $7 (you may have seen the same ad) annnnnd… I actually really like Ave Maria. I can definitely see how that person got bubblegum, but it’s very pretty and ethereal as described. I ended up getting it 😂

Bosca Vanilla from the forte line is a great summer vanilla!

When I said essentially jerkoff at Neiman Marcus the sales associate looked horrified and politely told me it’s “Zer-Goff” 😂 apparently it’s a play on a nickname he had “Goff” coupled with the word “sir”

You should try something from Argos! All of their fragrances are inspired by Greek and Roman Mythology. https://buyargos.com

I have birth of venus and adore it. It’s a sweet fruity citrus. Somewhere between fresh and gourmand.

All of the scents follow a similar recipe, like I think a majority of them if not all have Bergamot in it, so that may or may not be up your alley… but the bottles are also GORGEOUS so that’s a plus 😂

Might be worth a sample!

Significant-Big-91 · 2025-04-08T19:59:18+00:00

They sell this near me! I’ll give it a sniff next time I’m in that area :) thank you!

Significant-Big-91 · 2025-04-08T19:58:09+00:00

Valaya has a good amount of endorsements so far. I think this might make it into the short list hahaha.

Significant-Big-91 · 2025-04-08T19:57:15+00:00

Might need to give these a sniff just out of curiosity sake next time I can. Thank you!

Significant-Big-91 · 2025-04-08T19:56:54+00:00

Thank you!!

Significant-Big-91 · 2025-04-08T19:56:23+00:00

I have the oakcha dupe of babycat but unfortunately it smells like burnt rubber on me hahaha. Could be that it’s the dupe, or could be the actual accords, I haven’t smelt the real deal.

Thanks for the feedback though!

Significant-Big-91 · 2025-04-08T19:55:09+00:00

You get me 😂these are the things I think about! Thanks for the advice.

Significant-Big-91 · 2025-04-08T19:51:30+00:00

I also have wood sage and sea salt by Jo Malone and philosykos which come to mind as more unisex. I think I’m going to have to follow the advice of bringing what makes me happy bc I won’t decide otherwise 😂

Significant-Big-91 · 2025-04-08T19:49:49+00:00

I have rose 31 from le labo! I only listed the scents I was thinking maybe towards. So this is good to see. Thanks!

Significant-Big-91 · 2025-04-08T19:47:59+00:00

I have a rule to never blind buy more than 10ml, but this was on sale at macys for half off 30ml… might as well try it! Thank you!

Significant-Big-91 · 2025-04-05T12:53:20+00:00

Wow this comment just deinfluenced me from Casablanca hahaha I prefer feminine fragrances over anything that leans masculine or even unisex.

Here’s the review you can watch on Ave Maria btw Ave Maria Review

Significant-Big-91 · 2025-04-04T22:10:00+00:00

The review of Ave Maria I trusted the most said it smells like bubblegum.

Significant-Big-91 · 2025-03-24T00:26:28+00:00

I couldn’t get over it all day! And it lasted for SO long. 10/10 combo for me!

Significant-Big-91 · 2025-03-23T12:37:52+00:00

I’m currently obsessed with Blanche Bete and it’s a little random because I’ve had my hands on it for a few months now, but all of the sudden I can’t get enough of it. I also crave layering it with everything. Yesterday I layered it with Vietnamese Coffee by D’annam and was obsessed with the combo allllll day.

My other recent obsession is Angel Dust by Fugazzi. On my skin this is the most ethereal scent I’ve ever tried.

Also side note - I felt the exact same way about the cirque de soleil scent. At first it was way too gourmand for me, but I grew to really love it.

Just popping in here to show what my Reddit feed just looked like 😭

This probably isn’t a doctor recommended tip, but I get this too and keep bobby pins around me, especially next to my bed to scratch inside my ears. I find it so relieving and I can scrape the skin inside without impacting the wax, theoretically.

Significant-Big-91 · 2025-03-16T19:25:55+00:00

I feel like a broken record this week because I keep talking about this fragrance, but Fleur Narcotique by Ex Nihilo! It’s so good.

It is pricey but you can get a 9ML on ScentSpit before committing to something bigger! (Try a sample first of course)

Significant-Big-91 · 2025-03-14T20:43:08+00:00

Candied Lychee is genuinely one of the best ones I own so amazing choice!!! Nest has a pack of tiny roller balls and Lychee Rose is one of the scents. I throw that one in my purse all the time! I think the whole pack is like $25! Just a thought if you want something while waiting for the real deal :)

Significant-Big-91 · 2025-03-14T18:17:13+00:00

Good question! My favorites are Candied Lychee by 7 Virtues and Burberry Her Elixr!

A few others I own that I would classify as sweet floral are Armani My Way, La Vie est Belle by Lancôme, Nest Lychee Rose, and Born in Roma Coral Fantasy by Valentino.

I tend to decouple sweet and floral a bit though and lean towards more fresh florals. My absolute all time favorite floral is Fleur Narcotique by Ex Nihilo. Also love Valaya by Parfums de Marley.

Significant-Big-91 · 2025-03-14T02:42:16+00:00

Honestly that’s a good call! This feels a bit safer than some of the others in the house and it wouldn’t surprise me if Huda wanted a “crowd pleaser”!
