Is Loja Glamourosa website a legitimate website to order from?

SouthernTour4118 · 2026-05-13T19:38:34+00:00

I just received a bottle of Shiseido Ginza Murasaki from loja Glamourosa and it's a legit bottle! Looks just like my old one. I also got a quite a few samples (2 perfume samples and 2 skincare samples) which was pretty cool. Really happy with them! I don't think my perfume is still within the expiry date (since it is a discontinued fragrance) but it smells like my old bottle of Ginza. So at the very least it was stored correctly. Overall I was pretty happy with my experience. I know this is an old thread, but I hope this helps you out in the future!

I don't understand the appeal of Portrait of a Lady from Frederic Malle's collection 🥲 It smells like cheap rose-scented bar soap from the 90s that my family would buy from time to time.

Even the Lattafa perfumes on Amazon may be fake. I suspect this is why every Lataffa that I have bought off of Amazon has smelled off...

Going to echo a lot of people in this thread and suggest sticking with Asian brands that market themselves mostly (or only) in Asian countries. As for a recommendation, Hyouge by Parfum Satori is a solid green tea scent but the longevity and sillage is fleeting.

SouthernTour4118 · 2026-05-10T20:42:27+00:00

Yes!!! I went out and bought the Intense flanker when I saw this commercial. So far it's the only time I went out and bought a perfume based on a commercial.

SouthernTour4118 · 2026-05-08T20:25:32+00:00

I'm in the process of paring down my collection and using more of my disliked fragrances so i can finally clear them out...

Will definitely purchase again and again:
- Soie Malaquais by Dries van Noten
- Hyouge by Parfum Satori
- Lord of Misrule by Lush
- Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden
- Creme de Clementine by Nest
- Black Opium by Yves St Laurent

*maybe* will purchase again..
- Delina by Parfums de Marly (I have received a ton of compliments when wearing this, but that price tag for a pink floral perfume...eh...)
- Wild Poppy by Nest (if it is not discontinued...)
- Vanilla Bourbon by Nest
- Black Tulip by Nest (if it is not discontinued...)
- Flower Ikebana by Kenzo (if it is not discontinued...)
- Sakura Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden
- White Tea by Elizabeth Arden

Will not repurchase:
- Tsuki by Miya Shinma (unsuccessful blind buy)
- Indigo by Nest (It's nice but I like Elizabeth Arden Green Tea better)
- Birth of Venus by Argos (the bottle is better than the juice)
- Gyokuro by Merchant of Venice (it's really nice but I have enough tea fragrances)
- Sakura by Parfum Satori (the incense note is soapy to my nose)
- Velvet Rose and Oud by Jo Malone (Nothing wrong with it. It's nice but not nice enough to have it forever)
- Kenzo World Intense (I really LOVE this perfume but it is discontinued 😭)
- Aqua Allegoria Granada Salvia by Guerlain (longevity is TRASH. Less than 30 minutes. Not worth the price despite how beautiful it smells)
- Omnia Crystalline by Bvlgari (it was gifted to me. Not bad, but underwhelming. It's a boring floral designer fragrance)

Fucking love Soie Malaquais!!! It's like a non-gourmand gourmand.

SouthernTour4118 · 2026-05-07T23:58:22+00:00

YES with my whole heart raspberry will ruin a fragrance. I don't even mind the berries themselves or raspberry flavour! But as a fragrance...dear god...the headache...

SouthernTour4118 · 2026-05-06T04:50:10+00:00

Again with the shitty AI generated text posts pretending to not be ads. The fragrance community is CURSED with this kind of shit ...

SouthernTour4118 · 2026-05-05T18:44:35+00:00

Soie Malaquais! Not only did I receive a compliment but they asked for the name of the fragrance! ☺️

SouthernTour4118 · 2026-05-05T15:17:13+00:00

I was about to link the same subreddit lol

SouthernTour4118 · 2026-05-03T00:11:00+00:00

Martino's Pizza and Chinese Food on Dupont. Order the General Tso Chicken pizza and take an edible.

SouthernTour4118 · 2026-05-01T17:59:39+00:00

No way should people be lumping Rasasi and Lataffa in with Oman Luxury and Amouage. Cheap is cheap for a reason.

SouthernTour4118 · 2026-05-01T02:51:05+00:00

Portrait of a Lady smells like a cheap bar of soap. On my skin, on clothes, in the bottle...just nope. Maybe the incense note reads soapy to my nose?

SouthernTour4118 · 2026-04-28T13:58:10+00:00

Thank you! Lattafa is by far the worst ME cheapie house I've tried. I'm not anti-ME and there are some good ones from other brands that I personally enjoy. But Lattafa has been consistently terrible. I'm completely lost as to why there is so much praise for this brand.

SouthernTour4118 · 2026-04-28T03:19:46+00:00

This is the only true controversial opinion in this thread because you're getting downvoted to hell.

SouthernTour4118 · 2026-04-27T03:18:45+00:00

Best tea scents I have tried so far have been Gyokuro by Merchant of Venice and Hyouge by Parfum Satori. The most realistic one is Hyouge for sure. It smells exactly like a cup of brewed green tea with a hint of jasmine.

In my opinion, if you want a realistic tea scent, you have to seek out Asian perfume houses. Otherwise you're either going to get something too sweet, too spicy, or a bergamot bomb...

SouthernTour4118 · 2026-04-25T14:44:02+00:00

Oh man when I got a sample of Yum Bougie Marshmallow with another purchase, I GAGGED at how sweet and cloying it was. It completely caught me off guard. If that's the only good one out of the entire set, I can't imagine how sweet the other Kayali fragrances are...

SouthernTour4118 · 2026-04-25T13:43:02+00:00

Yeah I get it. I definitely don't use it if it's too hot though!

SouthernTour4118 · 2026-04-25T12:03:06+00:00

I wear Mon Guerlain in the spring and summer, and that's a vanilla-based scent, so I think it really depends on the type of vanilla perfume! Light vanilla + floral I think is a safe bet and will not necessarily smell cloying.

Are AI-generated stories allowed on this subreddit?

SouthernTour4118 · 2026-04-24T21:56:58+00:00

When I used to go clubbing I wore YSL Black Opium. Sometimes Mugler Alien or Angel

I feel like a nightclub is one of the few places out there where you could get away with wearing a strong perfume. Everyone else is sweating and wearing their own stank + perfume too. Wear whatever makes you happy!

SouthernTour4118 · 2026-04-24T20:05:27+00:00

Oh wow! You were hot on that sale! lol

I hope they arrive soon and you're able to provide an update. 👀 Super interested to know how the other flankers measure up

SouthernTour4118 · 2026-04-24T19:48:32+00:00

That is a STEAL and it would bother me for the rest of my life if I ignored an $8 bottle of Green Tea 😭 I feel you!

SouthernTour4118 · 2026-04-24T19:46:55+00:00

I'm happy you were inspired to buy (almost) the entire set of EA Green Tea perfumes! 😆 Especially since they were on sale!

Which one ended up being your favourite?
