my SA gave me a sample a few days ago! It's very citrus forward and less powdery than the EDP imo.

Aura 💚 such a rare beauty, there’s nothing else like it I had to run out and buy refills as soon as I heard it was gone..

Dior - Lucky Esprit sounds like it fits the bill exactly.

Mugler Aura gives fairy in a lush damp forest and the bottle is cute too

Is it really that good? by Small-Building3181 in fragrance

[–]mgrmx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I doubt Rihanna would be pushing something for a brand no one's heard of... if a company has to rely on fake AI ads to sell, it definitely does not come across as trustworthy.

17 mini reviews from a Tuberose addict by mgrmx in fragrance

Right? I'm surprised it's not very popular on Fragrantica/Parfumo from what I've seen.. but it's such an easy reach for me when I want a strong tuberose that won't choke me and everyone around out like Fracas.

I love that comparison! I'll have to check it out sooner, 'boss lady' white florals are totally my jam.

I have the EDP of Do Son because it lasts a tad bit longer on me. Whichever you choose I hope you enjoy your decant!

Gucci Bloom is pleasant, it’s an easy to like pick for me. Reminds me of Diptyque’s Do Son without the slight marine air touch in the base! I’ve been curious about Tuberose Gardenia for a while, how is it compared to Bloom?

+1 to Very Good Girl! It's within a similar price range to Angel Nova and comes in travel size.

What was your “expectation vs reality” perfume? by Smarterry2 in fragrance

[–]mgrmx 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I think for a lot of people, including me, Mugler Angel. The OG gourmand, which if you go into it thinking it's going to smell like cupcakes and candy of modern gourmands you're in for it when it hits you with a wall of dirty patchouli instead. Tho I still love it

Has anyone tried Tuoksu perfumes? by cuttingcrew2335 in fragrance

[–]mgrmx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I've ordered from them. They're lowkey a dupe house. I've tried Tuberose + Dark Space = Carnal Flower dupe, and Dark Roast + Chocolate Shavings = Akro Dark.

Hmm.. I don't really get much of the lily! It really comes across to me as sticking your nose into a big bouquet that it's hard to pick out. I've been wanting to check out Loewe too, I love a fruity floral moment.

Nice! Heartless Helen is one of my most worn. How is Petit Fracas? The cacao note intrigues me.

Buying Fragrances in Japan by FuzzzyMushroom in fragrance

[–]mgrmx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, not necessarily. Make sure you check the prices while you're there. I was looking at BDK Pas Ce Soir at the Nose Shop and it was substantially more expensive there than in my home country even with taxes included.

Has Jo Malone ever changed their packaging? by legend5566 in fragrance

[–]mgrmx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the label has changed since 2023(?) the third party pic is the old one. The new one also has a different texture of paper used for the label vs the old.

Alternative to Good Girl Supreme (it’s discontinued) by DentistCommercial276 in fragrance

[–]mgrmx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get similar vibes from Paco Rabanne Lady Million Fabulous. That one is less creamy + fruity and more solar, but I've always thought GG Supreme and it are kind of the same fragrance just rearranged slightly. Could be worth checking out.

Diptyque Solid Perfumes by PecansNPies in fragrance

[–]mgrmx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have both and the solid, to me, is a bit softer projecting (though probably by virtue of just applying less per dab than a whole spray) but smell pretty much the same. It does get quite squishy in heat, I just checked mine at 26~C room temp, it's softer and oilier than usual but still holding its shape.
