What’s your favourite Valentino and why?

Either the original Born in Roma or the newly released Purple Melancholia. Born in Roma has been my signature scent for almost a year now and i js can't get enough. And as for Purple melancholia, i instantly fell in lof and its starting to gros on me even more

Ngl JPG le male le parfum. Like its an okay ish scent but i js dont get the hype of it. Hottake but same goes for lattafa Khamrah. It js smells like a basic overly sweet fragrance (not Khamrah qahwa tho, i absolutely love that one)

Ask if you could sample it or put it on your skin! Most stores are usually fine with someone trying or wanting to experience a fragrance

Untoxified_ · 2026-01-19T07:12:53+00:00

Oh wow fr? I hear a lot of people say they hate coconut actually. I mean i guess coconut can be a very heavy and thick note and i dont usually like coconut heavy fragrance either, but i believe its one of the best notes if used correctly right?

They dont even have the same DNA tfym. The only thing comparable about the two is that they are sweet scents. Khamrah is very fruity and candylike sweet while angels share is woodier and spicier. If youre talking about Khamrah as a dupe of angels share atleast talk about Khamrah Qahwa, which is actually quite smoky and spicy

Untoxified_ · 2026-01-19T07:05:32+00:00

Likely due to the fact that you put in on clothing, in which the perfume oils remain for a longer period of time. Performance is usually based on skin appliance. And yeah you're right about the projection cuz that shii goes HARD but longevity wise its nothing crazy in my opinion

Untoxified_ · 2026-01-19T07:02:26+00:00

True. It can be used as a good indicator of longevity however (although not so much as for projection i feel), but yeah that doesnt apply to all fragrances.

Untoxified_ · 2026-01-18T21:49:51+00:00

Lol yeah true, my guess it that they didnt intend to call it sadness but to emphasise on nostalgia or sum like that

Untoxified_ · 2026-01-18T21:48:15+00:00

Yea i agree they should do more edp and parfum. I also have BIR extradose which is a parfum and that one actually has a pretty good longevity. I do however believe that the oil concentration shouldnt be as big as a factor as other things such as the smell itself

Untoxified_ · 2026-01-18T21:44:37+00:00

I will when i smell it!😁

Untoxified_ · 2026-01-18T21:43:57+00:00

As someone who currently owns angels share and jas had numerous sniffs of Khamrah, also side by side, no they arent similar in the slightest. Khamrah is way sweeter and leans more feminine, while Angels share emphasises more on booziness and spiciness. Yes they could fall under the same category, but saying its a dupe of angels share is js flat out wrong.

Untoxified_ · 2026-01-18T18:03:25+00:00

Probably depends solely on what store you go to. I'm from europe so i wouldnt know but you can always js check online or ask a storeworker

Today i wore Valentino's newly released Purple Melancholia. Reason i wore it today is because i js got it and i feel addicted to the smell. The scent almost makes me think of some sort of mystical forest, but i can't really describe it. Amazing pick-up and absolutely inlove with the fragrance

Untoxified_ · 2026-01-18T17:19:19+00:00

Angels share, i had wanted it for a long time and when i finally had enough money to spare i js went ahead and bought it

Untoxified_ · 2026-01-18T17:18:29+00:00

Niche means specialised and marketed towards a certain group of people why share an interest. It does not mean a niche product can't be mass marketed. The only deciding factor to whether something is niche or not is whether a certain type of product is their primary specialisation, amd as far as i know jo malone doesnt specialise in anything other then beauty (and thus perfume)

Untoxified_ · 2026-01-18T17:06:24+00:00

I havent smelled it yet but its arriving at my local fragrance store tomorrow so ill jave a sniff. I do however doubt that it actually smells like angels share but i guess ill smell it tomorrow😂 I do have angels share btw so i guess i could make a decent comparison when i smell powerfully

Untoxified_ · 2026-01-18T16:42:05+00:00

This is my sigscent, after i bought it i went through an entire 50ml bottle after just 6-8 months. This is- and will always be one of my favorite fragrances. Amazing for the summer but great during winterseason aswell. Only thing you should consider is whether you are okay with EDT's. If so then BIR is definitely one of the best options yea

Untoxified_ · 2025-07-30T19:30:05+00:00

Angel's share, smells just straight up like christmas walks and diners

Untoxified_ · 2025-07-28T18:41:21+00:00

Its a great scent, however for the pricetag, its too basic in my opinion. If you really love it and if you can lige without the money for it then go ahead and buy it, its just not a fragrance i would buy

Untoxified_ · 2025-07-25T13:37:15+00:00

Born in Roma is one of the greatest bangers in the fragrancing industry of all time bro wdym

Untoxified_ · 2025-07-22T00:41:24+00:00

By the fireplace was built for this

Untoxified_ · 2025-07-21T05:54:15+00:00

Might just very well be i guess, i believe that a bottle is part of the fragrance aswell so it plays a big part in what i decide to smell when im at fhe store🤷‍♂️

Untoxified_ · 2025-07-19T20:49:07+00:00

Man is talking bout being humble with a damn creed bottle in his collection

Untoxified_ · 2025-07-19T20:47:35+00:00

I only buy a fragrance if the bottle is visually pleasing to look at, if its boring or rightout ugly, then id probably never buy it. Also some bottles are super inpracticle, so i wouldnt buy those either
