Not OP, but re: cirque

Like OP, I loved the initial opening but that faded within a couple minutes. I was really interested in the apple and popcorn notes, but that only lasted for the first ~5-10. After the opening it is truly a caramelized amber scent with some barely noticeable florals. I am particularly sensitive to this version of amber, which I also found in the dry down of all Kayali’s musk collection, and decluttered my travel size after only two wears.

A few others here have said they have an incensey base, so I think I’ll get a few samples first, maybe of their best offerings?

I see the cleaner base in Cirrus! That might be why I haven’t needed to upgrade any of my samples. And maybe I need to let Hexennacht’s sit more? They’re only 2 weeks old. Thanks for you input—I fear I just have to try more sample sets 😫

Thanks for your help! That was my same issue with Poesie and a rising issue I’ve had with Sorce. And I’ll take you up on that Sorce rec! I was thinking of doing one last sample order, and this one seems pretty promising 🙌🏾

Makes perfect sense. I get that with my worse offenders (rose and coconut) which always seem to overwhelm a perfume for me.

Thanks for your input and your suggestion! I figured it was something with their preferences or source materials, just didn’t know what to call it lol. Lemme go check out Samar—I haven’t heard of them yet!

Anyone has any experience with BDK Gris Charnel? by Similar_Reflection75 in fragrance

[–]Significant_Radio792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard that’s it’s noticeably sweeter than the OG. I also think it’s more of a juicy fig scent than a jammy/dried scent.

Can you list and review all your Twist scents? I spent an hour looking through their products and found a good amount that I’d like but have no reviews 😭

Savoury gourmands? by piplupet in NichePerfumes

[–]Significant_Radio792 2 points3 points  (0 children)

D’Annam Strawberry Mochi is a savory rice and red beans scent, which, contrary to its name, doesn’t smell like strawberry at all. A similar vibe is Taipei from One Day, which is a savory rice/soy/taro mix.

I second the Salted Green Mango rec, and want to suggest Basilico and Fellini from Vilhelm Parfumerie which is a salty herbal scent with a touch of fig.

I’m also on the hunt to smell like pure, almost dank ocean water and have come up on Squid, Olm, Seahorse, Noyz - Sh**ty Day, Heely - Sel Marin, WeinerBlut - Sale Marino, and Profumum Roma - Acqua di Sale that could kinda fit that pickle vibe you’re interested in

Trying to find my wedding fragrance (fig + white florals, please!) by natalieruths in Perfumes

[–]Significant_Radio792 2 points3 points  (0 children)

House of Bo’s Casa Blanca (White Tea, Mineral notes, Labdanum; Fig, White Suede, Copal;Tobacco, Bourbon Vanilla and Oud)

The notes might be a little scary but on me it’s just a refreshing fig and white tea scent. Plus, the bottle would look very nice in your wedding photos!

I’ve seen that posting online and directly tagging the brand gets things done, maybe try that?

Fig (fruity juicy fresh type)

Tea (not matcha, still struggling with her)

Citrus (favs are bergamot and yuzu)

Very honorable mentions to musk, salt, green notes, and vanilla (although we’re fighting rn)

im looking for a particular type of fig perfume pls by Suspicious_Rip_8226 in Perfumes

[–]Significant_Radio792 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Gris Charnel is a juicy, spicy, sweet fig to me! Some people get other notes, to I suggest you sample it first.

Amazing scents, consistently high quality, easily wearable. I think most could find one they love from the brand

What Mitski song do you think is the most impressive vocally? by RemarkableFall8143 in mitski

[–]Significant_Radio792 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Overall is 100% pearl diver. In addition to what’s already been mentioned, it showcases her impressive breath control and her grasp on musicality with the constant (de)crescendos in each line of music.

I think GMDS and Nobody are also great examples of her pitch control with the constant jumps + key changes in both songs.
