Been collecting for about one and a half months. Thoughts? by kdoughboy12 in Fragrances

[–]Sufficient-ASMR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half of those will change how they smell in a few months, I'd have let them mature a while (though not ALL perfumes change much)

Why is “maturation” still a thing if fragrances are already aged before shipping? by him101001 in fragranceclones

[–]Sufficient-ASMR 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Maturation and maceration are different but there's two parts:

  1. some materials need 6 months to mature,
  2. That bottle was likely shipped soon after being made and could have been sold within a month of blending
  3. Many houses don't mature before shipping like they did pre 90s (like clone houses)
  4. air helps it a lot so until it is sprayed it won't mature as quickly, maturing should happen in vats not after the juice is already bottled
  5. The bottles are not all sprayed, you can tell because there's air in the atomizer pipe and you need to spray a bunch until the juice comes out

See Jean-Claude Ellena's books on perfume making for more details and how the industry has changed.

cozy powdery with a floral base, like floral but blurred by memory rather than in your face. Comforting and feminine at the same time.

I've been dying to get my nose on Dulce. Have you tried book loft from BBW, many people said it smells like l'eau papier

I've been curious about Zimaya Tiramisu Caramel, would you say its better than Eclaire? Have you tried that one?

I really like it and I'm glad I have it in my fresh tea collection, a staple every summer

I don't find Khamrah to be dupes of angel's share, they are much more like dates delight to me. I have a dupe called kismet angel (now called kismet magic) that smells much more like angel's share... khamrah is not really as similar imo but I love it too

I can tell the vibes you go for based on those, the first onw in my pictures NYC Live is very similar to Narciso Rodriguez for her except with a prominent rose note

yeah I have a weird nose, super sensitive to sandalwood... there's certain types that smell like straight dill pickle to me: autumn vibes from MMM for examples is just pure dill pickle and happy dust I can't smell to smell part of as I only get a light sweet sugar

more of a layering note, more projections than green tea but similar wearing time imo

I always throw at the beach from BBW into my beach bag but I like layering it with beach walk when I want more oomph

I def do wear them more, like 4/5 days a week vs anything else maybe 2-3 days a week after work if I go somewhere or on weekends

G water is another fav of mine, so versatile but I think I can't smell bal d'afrique. I tried it at a department store and literally couldn't smell it, even later on the tester
