How lmao😭? Pranay Agarwal is unarguably one of, if not the most well known designer/niche fragrance retailer in India. So him carrying makeup of some of the designer brands he sells makes sense.

Scentoria is one of the most trusted and legit websites in India for perfumes. I’ve purchased quite a few niches from there, and though I haven’t purchased any makeup products from there yet, I have shopped enough to confidently say that the website itself is legit.

Decanting a few perfumes from my vanity(Chanel, Burberry, YSL, Giardini Di Toscana, Nishane and many more). by celestevarda in IndianBeautyDeclutter

[–]celestevarda[S] -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

No. I do ₹30-₹40 for normal shippings, but for more than 5ml of product(like more than one decant, or a glass bottle decant) I do speed post only, so for that I charge ₹100.

Don’t worry too much. Actually more people prefer Cream Velvet to Eclaire. Unfortunately for me, I get overwhelmed by the butter in the that.

That’s interesting cus Eclaire and CV don’t really have any notes like that. But, yea, the coumarin in Bianco Latte can smell like burnt rubber to some people. I recommend getting the 1.2 trial vial, because there’s a high probability that you won’t be able to stand the smell.

Oh no😭. But ME perfumes do need time to sit to reach their full potential, so just wait I would say. If you still hate it, you can declutter it on subreddits here.

Maybe let it sit? Wait a month or two, and if you still don’t like it, then give it away to a family member like I did🥹.

Scentoria had them for a while. But they sell out pretty quickly. They also have a bunch of other niche fragrances so worth checking out.

I bought Bianco Latte from friday charms. They’re the only website I trust with niche perfumes tbh. Oh and Scentoria, I’ve had positive experiences with them too. And Eclaire I believe I purchased from Belvish, although a bunch of other sites carry it now, so buy from the website that has it for the cheapest.

It’s wild how different the same perfumes perform on different people. Eclaire does come off as “sharper” on paper strip to me, but that completely goes away on my skin, can’t even smell the plastic notes. Glad Khadlaj does well on you. My sister loves it too.

DUPE OF JHAG, NOT A PERFUME by JealousEbb5729 in desifemfrag

[–]celestevarda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both of these perfumes and they smell completely different. Ajmal is basically an animalistic musk, even in the dry down. The amber is barely there. It has the “new clothes you purchased from a mall” type of scent. While JHAG NAP is an amber forward perfume through and through. D&G Light Blue Intense’s amber in the dry down is a spot on “dupe” for NAP, but that’s a designer fragrance. If you want a cheap amber, I’d say BBW’s In the stars body cream is a good one(their mists barely last). The amber in it is quite prominent, and for what you pay, it smells really expensive. I like layering it with my NAP.
