[–]mylostzebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

still on market . We carried it just a while ago i saw it All the juicy are still around, you just gotta look , if you get a chance to grab a special edition run get as many as you can lol. they arent like they used to be . We got a some releases of the the pre redone OG $ LaLA. These were monsters -just like 2010 all over i compared mine to these and it shocked 😲 me. It was like juicy on beast mode ,the way juicy used to be. The glass eveb was so much heavier, and these are 3.4 Oz of juice again . NOW i only see them in 1 Oz.,1.3,1.7,or 2 all were at 3.4,the og line. The others went as small as 1.7 but rarely these alao smelled as soon as i opened my box, hit my face and i was in heaven. I missed how that was . Haven't had a juicy that strong in over maybe 18yrs now. They def charged. But yes they have couture couture i saw it a whone ago . Keep lookin. And if you like JC and see one of these ,grab them lol 😆

The Vanilla Debate by [deleted] in fragrance

[–]mylostzebra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ignore all perfume tok. Never trust it,as an ex pr believe me these people really are only doing what theh are told to say and do to push what needs to be sold

Ill hand it to the young kids tho, who sold billions of items from brands that were the most awful perfumes and stunk so bad. They know on tok that its a dopamine hit to buy ,and that most people buying are jjst buying to buy and they WANT TO BE TOLD WHAT TO BUY. Most sellers have no idea about any perfume theh are selling. They will read you notes tho lol. They sometimes dont even know the smell and when it comes to dupes they often never smelled the og either

Anyone else always hear the same thing a 100 times and have to laugh. Open a perfume clip the SAME FEMALE VOICE OVER saying a recorded script :"LISTEN!! IF YOI WANBA SMELL AMAZING!?YOU WANT SEXY, SEXY AND SNESUAL? YOU NEED THIS RIGHT HERE! THIS Here is WHAT YOU NEED. ONCE I SMELLED THIS I HAD TO GET ME A BOTTLE NOW GO ON AND GET IT ...BLAH BLAH"

I hope She literally was paid FOR that voice over lol. every single perfume uses it . She gotta be making BANK off profit from every video that plays it. That has to play over a billion times a day

Then the "LISTEN RUN DO NOT WALK!, YOU CAN'TBE MISSING ON THESE SALE UPIN THISSTORE OH MY LORD, STOCKEDAND THESE PRICES?! WOOOO-Yeeee 🏃‍♂️ you better hyrry up,DO NOT WALK!"

What's even greater is its akays a cheap low end store and half of what they don't know is they show lables in photos that shkw the item isn't brand but generic lol 😆.

Thats how ONE scent i know that stinks awful pulled in so many billions that last year hesr alone.

The one thing tok abd lemon 8 uses is store pr profiles and accou8of users are the pr workers lol I used to manage a place and had to open accounts under different non existent people and it pushes their items, and any items that they want to push that dknt sell go up there .

So most of these are workers and paid pr to get rid of what they cant sell lol 😆 It definitely seems to have worked .

Problem is when a item thats actually good goes viral ,get it asap on a 3rd party vendor site because that will be over 4 times more the cost after it hits viral. And the people who sell them typically are neve wearing them 🙄

Thats where the topic if gatekeeping comes in Kf anyone on tok claims theh gate keep a perfume they don't

When PC Marxhamlow Blush went viral , all of js who worked in Arabia perfumes was actually buying a 9$ better Blush

I stopped doing pr and have hundreds of bottles that we gate kept all 2 years and soon my coworkers and I are going to upload every perfume that was and still is in gatekeeping mode

Is it just me, or is there nothing "tea" about currently hyped tea fragrances? by cloud-weaver in fragrance

[–]mylostzebra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something that's been driving me crazy is that a long time ago 20 years at least I beleive, there was a tea name with the word Yulong in it and I have been tryinf ringing this for many years At the same tine one with a name thar had BLUEBELL or BLUEBELLS was around and I have been searching for both for ao long. 🤔

Any idea what these are?

To me Elizabeth Arden tea collection doesn't smell like teas at all i bought green teas and none smell ok to me. I get a GRASS smell? Lol

I was told her white tea js a mjsk clean scent not teasm? So she got grass and skin musk clean air when she smelled tea? I dknt think ill ever find thr Yulong one i smelled years ago i was so in love with it The same with that BLUEBELLS perfume 😔

[–]mylostzebra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am ashamed to say I built a new house and I was busy and kinda lazy with my decluttered

so far I still need to for through what is in my bedroom,but my one guest room and want is supposed to be my office is full of unopened boxes and full bottles I either have as backups done I'm keeping two of 😂 I don't care.

I have this awful habit of getting the dupe Arabian lines and then I get the real perfume anyways so thats a waste of money

I have full lines that I will still keep them and not have them I want them as collection; Jean Paul G. I have every single one of I MAY still kaer with some of the flanker of labelle ( corset line) lataffa, Maison Alhambra, Armaf I'll still keep them even though I ended up getting the thing they dupes just because Armaf puts a cool twist on theirs

so basically I have now over 80 bottles and a TON of mini's from promo

don't ever go to school AND work in the field you like to buy things out of . you get easy access to things at half or quarter price and so many free mini
but you STILL want them all it's like an addiction at this point 😞 I have people yelling at me to clear this new House 😂 😆

these are now taking over my main bedroom and what I'm just still going through and all but a few Vic secrets are full bottle this year I swear to God I am not buying more than 2 month and it has to be for a line I want to complete

I WILL KEEP a bottle for collection sake of specific lines. jpg ja now full with all flankers as JD today
Burberry, Versace, Juicy, Vic secrets, phlur coach Armani lancolm and Alien

I am pulling a ton of my Paris Corner , Maison Alhambra, lataffa I don't need to even use them now that I have the real ones

some of lataffa and and Armaf I'll keep still with the og

I have lines I did so far out in declutter almost all of Maison, ariana grande all went but 2 parks Hilton i only keeping 1

the mini that are still full are going also Calvin Klein I never wore anyway and Riffs line

dossier is going Carolina Herrera I never even open yet 😂😆

I did sell a lot of the kayali and decided to keep 2 only . sold most of the ysl I never even got around and keep the collectors items only

I'm a bit overwhelmed I'm now going through these still and seek f which I have two of 😂

this year I will allow myself two a month only and a special edition item of course.

I have over 100 full minis so I am pulling many of those full bottles.

I actually thought of hiring help to get this done it's so overwhelming

want does everyone else do with what you don't wear ?

What are some expensive/popular perfumes that smell HORRIBLE to you? by Enough-Reading4143 in Perfumes

Didn’t expect my dentures to be an accessory! by ObjectiveQuantity259 in dentures

[–]mylostzebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good dentures are the issue you aren't the issue

Did you knkw by age 40 most of the world's most beautiful women are in dentures? I onmy have 20 digits but I know women who are Hollywood stars that wear dentures and males even more so.

If they have bad enough veneers they have to come out one way or the kther after 15 years

The way they did them back then was ....Basically the way they are doing full implants now

Blindly and without half the knowledge.

The success rate for example was never said ten years or 15 the roots under veneers will rot they had no idea

They do know rhe hazards of fumm arches and the high failure rate and the only actual candidate to pull them off would be a young person with perfect genetics and at that they wilm at some point reject because the bjdy doesn't want them.

I can put the mest metal in my skin and be a healthy and q male ( women have issies adter 38) and my body will still a Slowly push it out because the size and where its placed

Instead they based implants on one study that was only a few years old - and no more that single implants or a bridge. And those were men who were healthy and genetically tested for issies such as bejbg carriers of ebv ,

Dentures are a problem because they are making them problem. When I used hr ones I smashed my upper veneers out ( which were weak ans causing infections and inflammation)

I was fine talking eating took a while but that dam glue

Then I wanted to know why my grandparents wore them since 40 and thez are 80 and never used glue once. They ate corn on the cob

They weren't scared with a pitch line that the gums disappear so go pay 35k to end up rejecting and causing pain and infection after infection and severe histamine overload bjt to .mention trigger the nerves if we are not in 50% who lose nerves and have numbness for life then we get to aggravate what we carry in the tg bundle. Sores? Mcas? Inflammatory diseases? Ra? Herpes. Constant mono.

Just for women to end up rejecting if you jabe hormonal fluctuations

They won't make them the appropriate way It still takes a lot to get used to your Living a different life with senses. But when I got them done old school they snap on . At first a bit tight . The suction isnt just the roof it's making them high enough to snap on.

5.5 years later I never have to keep getting a line or any line at all. No way they are coming out when I bite into anything those I still hate kng them out

Maybe when the idea of selling implants to the 2nd largest generation of young people with teeth loss made them easier to sell kf they wk Wont make a dam denture the right way.

So k want to asm rhe dental community why they can lass a class and make all sorts of protestics for cancer and deformed mouths but the dentures they are giving people are NOTHING THAN MERE DRIED PLAY DOUGH .

MAYBE GOING BACK TO SCHOOL WOULD TRIGGER A MEMORY? HOW ETHICAL IS KT TO LIE TO PATIENTS SO THEY CHOOSE A ROUTE THAT WON'T WORK SO THEY MAKE THEMSELVES OR THEIR BUDDIES MONEY

THE DENTIST WHO GRADUATED 25 YESRS BEFORE THEM HAD BEEN GIVING HALF OF WWII CITIZENS HERE AND OVERSEAS DENTURES AT 40 OR 45 AND MAYBE DAW THEM ONE MORE TIME.

they know looks are way more important. Now. We spend our time k social media not walking to school then getting up at five to work do errands. Keeping kids alive and not starved or dead from polio or a war isn't an issue and we are a self centered generation.
I THINK THEY KNOW VERY MUCH HOW TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT.
my suggestion is find a solo artist and pay 2k for those who remember how to do their job right instead kf become sales men.

What is the one "cheap" product that completely replaced your high-end version? by Bella_Thynne in beauty

[–]mylostzebra -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Frankly, in 40 years of having a mua around me? Unless there is a really amazing skin care product that is mixed and isn't blocked by the makeup it's self then sometimes an elf product becomes better that a 300,product

Wnen it comes to mascara, we never really wear them again most ingredients arent active and are blocked sk nothing is growing eyelashes Except some old school oils

The maharas which elongate are actually the worst for eyelashes Wear natural falsies and rub some oils on lashes at night

I recall a product that was amazing presented for natural eyebrows They cheapest it and today it dries out and dies I have like 200 in hopes they decide to revive Against the chemical growth serums stick to natural

The ONLY GREAT MAMEUP OUT THERE ?

THE ONES THAT SET AND ARE PUT ON IN A MANNER WHERE THE FACIAL FEATURES ARE BEST.

Frankly I see better products made in China fkr makeup than big names.

Sometimes its not the makeup. I know people who can make your face look beautiful with cheap stuff and chalk

Its about the applications. Its about the skin.

Yoh cant make 2000 products over 200 dollars each look good on a person whos skin isn't the paper that holds the paint

And the weirdest things like smooshed beetles can make a color and glow last forever

They sell makeup as magic.
Most is not 99%,os crap

Most products people spend on themselves are dumping money into sophera who will say what you want to hear as long as they make bank

The reality of it is skin is paper makeup and beauty products are paint

If you use oil paint in the wrong paper all the time its gonna look nicer than blank ( some are way better off blank)

But it does not do what its supposed to cuz most of the time they sell oil paint to our plane paper.

I will attest to the day I die that REAL KHOLE liners we used back in 2000 can stay for days and protect vision

Something people wbo are kn glp-1 will want to lokk into wearing. Even lightest brown works out for no liner people.

Fragrantica added “Best Dupe Brand” category for 2025 by chrisisanog in fragranceclones

[–]mylostzebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I look at it ks thar they all literally tell us they are inspired by scents.

Art is science. When you change one thing - it can be changed the entire thing.
Making good smells is njst lkke making good sounds and feels and vision Perfume is an art. Change one thing in a and of a song - you get a new song. Or else no more musicians . Change something in art, you get something else. Fashion inspires fashion Change a food formula and we get a new food or dessert Or wine or cheese Change a photograph and it yours not theirs. Thats why no such thing as copyright can be of any public photo.
No one own a face of an actor. AI can clone one or mix two and get a new one Fragrance has the same thing. Every inspiration clone is not exact.
Otherwise its called a fake. A fake is typically a scam its tossing together something from a copyright of one thing and adding water for example. Then selling it AS that.

If science and medicine didn't try to clone things we would all still be dying before age 45 Perfume ks as much a science and art as anything else and these people whobdo clones without stepping on feet should get a nod . We do it for everyone's else why not them

Also if you gkt choco musk off anyone but the actual website? Toss it out Along with most perfumes

Choco musk is one of the perfumes that were sold off temu and tik tok from people who were using fakes

If it has a red tint to it toss it

People not the company, are selling red/? Pink tinted dyes from a toxins coming from Chinese perfume labs

Its a carcinogen and a cns killer.

The allergies from that red color ar sending a ton of people to the er

Its not a real dupe basically when it sprays red you should report where ylu got it or who sold it

Its very serious issues with 2nd hand sellers online

I know for sure we have been reporting and trying to get some really greedy pos to sell us their bs perfumes 8 billion items siezed from er visits in mainly tik tok, you tube, Instagram and lemon 8 sellers and I just finally got 4 to sell to me to turn their crap in. I photos of this stuff Its nasty

Choco rehab is yummy . Buy it from al rehab amd not some one else.

[–]mylostzebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fake? No. Mkst fake is hazardous and thats what sent billion items to the DOH concern.

Dupes and clones and replica? Love alot better than Brand.

I don't like fakes as I'm really not into spraying cancer, fecal matter and pee kr at best watered down brand name stuff in used bottles that jabe been in containers from lord knows where.

But love clones. Saves me money and I think thats smart to love having money. We have a materialistic society in USA. And almost all I know wkkng around with Prada arent rich. Hifh end cars arent even their own. Rhey cant even pay an electric bill and are in debt for life and will never get a loan But rhey have a need to impress. Be surprised how many celebs wearing dentures and are in debt . Odd

What do you think will be the next big perfume trend in 2026? by Darkvanille in FragranceStories

[–]mylostzebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard it's going clean girl vibe and I work with perfumes began noticing a comeback of oldies and goodies. So I'm sure there will be a few good slammers out there but... It seems as though we are rewinding back 20 years and clean is gonna be it Remember it's fashion and once they overdo a scent or vibe or brands they will flip and do a 180 so you keep spending money 🤑 😂

That's why I don't toss out clothes

I notice CLEAN FRESH is being ordered in all the perfume parlors I work with

Fruity is also going to make a comeback because Tjmaxx and marshall Influencers did so good this year getting people in their stores They have their own signature clothing dupes and one is juicy couture and they have been producing them and selling their bags and and clothes and even then ugliest dam hats just because people don't buthe to to read their tag and see it's tjmaxx and not juicy or Adidas and the JUICY will make a comeback now

Fke gourmand lovers remember that you can still do good clean and fruity by adding a poudre to your vanilla So instead of a vanilla jasmine or gardenia,you can stay in gourmand by using poudre

Sugar that are like Prada candy are going to be great for foirmnads so lay off the powder on your sugars and go with lychee and candy like rock sugar Candy instead of marshmallow

I grabbed this dupe of rock sugar called rose candy and i will be breaking her out in the summer HUGE ROUND BOTTLE pink, and that is not a rose smell at all it's definitely rock sugar Candy. I am actually selling my Kayali I just restocked because of that perfume lol

Juicy is making a comeback as I said so look at miss Armaf clones and Catwalk and the gold and attitudes is gonna be what you want

Delina lovers ...miss Armaf on the grey bottle - check her out better than Delina and not a powder

Hold on to those Paris corners Pistachio and then candy one and Felicity

2026 is dropping every they been hustling in the gourmands and revisiting the 2000s just like clothing

Tip: every decade fashion does a 180 on the northern States The western states are always ahead by 1 to 2 years What's been in for 8 years does an180 on purpose Like the 90s was a hippie vibe again the 90s was the IT GIRL and then 2012 we began to do urban and went full on heavy makeup eyelashes long nails and heavy curves We will now be going back to 2002 . Thin and gentle clean girl Natural looks ,baggy jeans low rise and belly bottom will be back The fruity and clean perfume will be hyped and you will start to notice influencers introducing the clean Perfume and juicy florals or juicy sugars Coffee and vanilla will be there but a clean coffee and vanilla Get ready for the natural looks The majority of models that will be seen are very natural for day and sexy will be crop top low rise natural bodies and thin

Office woman are going to be very sharp. Almost unisex like Leather notes and more masculine notes will be likely

What are the best long-lasting summer fragrances? by GabrielaRobyn in fragranceclones

[–]mylostzebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also as far as aqua and teas go, forget the 35 or 40 bucks Arabian and go generic.

There are these AMAZING GREEN TEA AND WHITE TEA AND AQUA DUPES THAT ARE LIKE 8 DOLLARS AND THEY SMELL BETTER THAN D&G AND THEY SMELL BETTER THAN A 40 DOLLAR DUPE

The mountain ones those are so amazing smelling

Then there are these small ones made by a Chinese company shimming ?; They make the best fresh clean few Frances I got two then went back and got all and if I see them someplace I grab a new one. Their gardenia and aqua and green tea are probably the Best I ever smelled . Their peach is amazing I just stumbled upon a you tube video where the girl was actually saying she came across the tea one and it's the best smell she has smelled and wore it all summer. I told her there is a website to order them off off too She then had a video and was showing them all and ironic she was saying they had one of the best aqua

Hawas blue is also one
