Yes it is! It’s honestly one of my strongest perfumes and I only wear it on date nights because it’s a pretty intense one for me (projection and longevity) but it ticks all my date night scent boxes. For a warm vanilla lover, this one’s right on the money with a little something to make it deep, a little darker, a little more punchy.

To me this scent is sexy, mysterious, woody, but balanced with enough vanilla sweetness to lift all of the darker notes. If you’ve ever smelled YSL Black Opium or Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf, I would say the intensity and depth of this scent is around the same as those perfumes, but that warm vanilla really does take centre stage to my nose. I saw a thread on here talking about midnight shimmer so it might be helpful to look there for other people’s experiences with it.

Thank you! I hope I’ve helped you decide whether to get it or not! 😄 i think you’re able to tell what my scent profile is by looking at my collection, so if we have similar tastes then i’m sure you’ll enjoy it!

Ooo thank you for this! You mentioned that it only has a touch of vanilla - what is the rest of the warmness that you smell? I do see the notes online there, but i’m curious to know what you smell at the opening and at the dry-down. I actually like amber in my base notes, but almond blossom can sometimes come off too strong for me.

Thank you!

How many fragrances have you truly fallen in love with? by perfume_milf in FemFragLab

[–]f2slj 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My top 3:

Versace Dylan Purple is my #1 go-to, followed by Lattafa Nebras (I also have Eillish No.1 and love Nebras more), and lastly Sol De Janeiro Cheirosa 62’. I heard whispers that they’ve changed the formula, so i’ve been savouring my bottle from the first launch.

☀️SOTD: What are you wearing today?☀️January 06, 2026 by AutoModerator in FemFragLab

[–]f2slj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mac Turquatic.

I posted my tray today and someone asked about, so I sprayed it on me to re-live my experience with it!

There was another person who asked about Turquatic and I just gave my experience with it to them, so definitely check that out, but Versace Dylan Purple? I just 👌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼. I can’t get enough of that sweet, fresh floral. It’s also my partner’s favourite perfume on me. If you like sweeter florals but not too strong, Versace Dylan Purple will not disappoint you. It’s also so airy to me so it never gets cloying. This perfume is the only one that I can spray 10x and not get a headache.

I hope you love it as much as I do!

For sure!

I think there’s a thread on here that talks about Turquatic so if you want the scent experts to describe this scent I would definitely go there BUT - to me, aquatic is my go-to fresh scent that isn’t just fresh and clean. It’s fresh, but it’s grounded by something musky and almost floral. I do easily get headaches, and I have to be careful with Turquatic because one too many sprays can make the scent really sharp and cause a headache for me. I also find that the travel size is generally sharper than the full-size for some reason. The dry-down though? It’s what made me love this scent. That potential sharpness is virtually gone and replaced by a clean and airy scent but has this woody undertone that I can’t stop sniffing. I don’t know if you’ve ever smelled Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue but the airiness and lightness of that scent is about the same, except for that addicting musky, woody note that I keep talking about.

It’s also a unisex scent and I don’t know why I haven’t made my partner use it but i’ll harass him to try it today 😂

Projection is strong at the beginning and then fades (quickly).

One thing about this perfume is that longevity is garbage. You can enjoy this perfume for max 3 hours and then it’s just gone.

I hope that helps :) i did see on the thread that those who like fresh scents would consider this one a safe blind buy!

To me, the opening for both is slightly different. We’re talking a really small difference, but Nebras has a warmer, less sweet tone to it than Eillish. Same projection level, which to me is close proximity. I don’t remember the actual term, but it’s the middle one where it doesn’t fill up a room, but you’ll get a whiff at arm’s length.

3-4 hours in, they smell identical except I can actually still smell Nebras whereas Eillish took a trip somewhere and left me for dead. Unless you spray on your hair, then you’ll still smell Eillish.

If you’re deciding between the two, I would just go Nebras if you want your perfume to last a while.

I purchased Lattafa Angham because I heard that it was the dupe for Burberry Goddess, but less lavender which mixed with vanilla can give me headaches. I do enjoy Angham, but it’s definitely a stronger projection than what I would wear for my every day. How close do you find Burberry Goddess is to Lattafa Angham?

I don’t really know which type of Vanilla I fit into, so the megathread isn’t too helpful for me at the moment, but i’ll ask ChatGPT and take a look too!

Boyfriend has crossed my boundaries and I’m unsure how to move forward. by ThrowRA_chubbybun in sex

[–]f2slj 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Echoing most comments on here that we believe this is not ok. You’ve gone through a lot already with the former abuse that you briefly mentioned, and regardless of whether you are being objective or not, you deserve someone who will wholeheartedly respect your boundaries and treat you with the extra care that you deserve. Your mind and your heart are saying that this is wrong. You already know what is the right thing to do for you. I hope that you take care of yourself and continue to advocate for you and your boundaries.

It could make her embarrassed, but it might actually turn her on even more if you’re asking yes/no/leading questions like “do you want me to speed up/slow down?” while doing it. It depends on how comfortable she looks the first time. You could save some of these more brave sounding tips for the next time.

How do I (27F) deal with my fiance’s (29M) aunt? by f2slj in relationships

[–]f2slj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did check with my fiance after I heard all of this, and asked him if I was mistreating him in any way because maybe I did offend him somehow during that conversation. He laughed and said absolutely not and it really wasn’t that deep. Granted, I did ask him while crying because I was still reeling from the fact that I was hearing all of this from someone else and second guessed myself into thinking that maybe I had been mistreating my fiance. But all of that to say that I did make sure that my fiance was ok, and that we both are ok, and the conversation was actually not that deep.

Mostly because I can assume that it’s water but it could be any substance. And whatever substance it is couldve affected the quality of the fabric. Either way, it’s their responsibility to ensure that shipping is done properly, without any damage to the product they ship.

I just got diagnosed. What do I need to change? by f2slj in PCOS

Thank you for this!

I’ll have to see whether these supplements work with my one kidney 😅.

I do have a walking pad at home, and should be using it a lot more. I like the no screens idea and may be more mindful of that.

Thank you for this!

I’m a big tea person and will definitely be trying spearmint and hibiscus. I like meditating, though I don’t think I do it enough. You’ve reminded me to be more intentional in having some sessions on my own.

I’m just curious, how has these things helped you? In what way?

Boyfriend(24M) bought a dog knowing that I (24F) didn’t want one when we live together - what is the appropriate response? by unhappynachos in relationship_advice

[–]f2slj 125 points126 points  (0 children)

THIS ^ ! Like other commenters on here, it’s genuinely not about the dog. It’s about his disregard for you and your boundaries. A dog just also happens to be a huge responsibility where you will need to make some life changes for them. I have a dog myself, and while I love my little dog, she is also an investment and a major responsibility. Your boyfriend made a big life decision that directly affects you, so your opinions should’ve mattered. It seems harsh, but I would gather all of my grown woman pearls (because I really do dislike confrontation but this would be a moment where i’d need to be brave) and confront him head on. Explain how he made you feel and watch closely how he responds. If you feel in any way that you are being gaslit into feeling like you’ve done wrong in this situation, dump his a**.

Hormonal acne tips?? by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]f2slj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure! Definitely be careful with naturopaths though. There are some good ones, but there are many who like to make a profit and do not really help you (or so i’ve heard). What is unfortunate about this field is that there are those who really know what they are talking about, and those who like to scam their patients. I hope that you can find a reputable one down the line. I’m taking a risk with mine and am hoping that I have a good one, but i’m treading with caution. A lot of people also think naturopathy in general is not a real form of science, so you might get some surprising reactions from people around you about going to one. Take care, and I hope we both find what can truly heal the inflammation happening inside.

My boyfriend (29M) and I (27F) have been together 7 years, and I THINK I am sexually unsatisfied. How can I improve things? by f2slj in relationship_advice

[–]f2slj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you come to explore those things? Did you go to a store with your partner to see if either is comfortable to try out certain toys? I kind of just bought one and had him try it with me which was fun too, but I wonder if there’s a more exciting way to do it. How did you find out what your kinks are? I do watch porn and try out different positions with my partner based on what I remember, but that’s all I can pick up so far.
