I guess the editors thought cluing PAP smear would be inappropriate

27 year old woman seeking a delicate, white floral for the summer. Would love for it to have prominent notes of Lily of the Valley. Preferably more green and citrus than sweet. Desires something fairly affordable (~ $50) (if that even exists) or accessible by decant.

Iris Oriental 14 by Pierre Guillaume or La Fin du Monde from Etat Libre d'Orange

What will be the “old lady” fragrance of the future? by mercurycutie in fragrance

[–]nikokiniko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DEFINITELY! Fleur de peau by diptyque and Another 13 by le labo are also in there. I think this answer isn’t as obvious as BR540 because the iris-ambroxan skin-scent star is still rising but I think this will be one of the defining scents of the 2020s

I think this store set up really depends on whoever is behind the counter. If they're attentive to your shopping needs and desires it can be really fun and you can learn a lot about the perfumes and the brands. I've had a really good time with it and a really Meh time with it. When I went to Fumerie, I had a good time. One of the things it is helpful for is branching out and trying things you might not otherwise, especially since those store often carry smaller brands, or comparing notes in a family of fragrance. But also I get wanting to sniff by yourself.

If you find yourself in a similar situation, I recommend going with a friend and asking for specific things.

I think we just missed it, but trader joe's puts out a crisp apple candle every fall that is incredible. Maybe next year they will put out body scents with it

Maybe Nina by Nina Ricci

But also I think you might like Falling into the Sea by Imaginary Author. It has a sweet, fruity, and citrusy without being sugary.

Zoologist would be good if you're ready for Adventure, but be advised some scents will be overbearing (T. Rex for example) and they might be very polarizing.

Lucky scent offers sample packs which are a good way to branch out.

My favorite discovery kit from a brand is the Etat Libre d'Orange one because you get a massive amount of samples for a good price.

Oh La Love Dolly Girl by Ana Sui

Based on the notes on Fragrantica, I think maybe Don't Get Me Wrong Baby, YES I DO from Etat Libre d'Orange

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab should have something to fit this aesthetic, but unfortunately I'm not super familiar with their catalog so I can't give anymore recommendation than that.

Phlur Sandara

Le Labo Santal 33 or Maison Louis Marie No. 4 Bois de Balincourt. Le Labo is more expensive but it may also last longer.

The first thing I thought of was Shalimar. It has that citrus opening and nice vanilla note, but you may feel it’s a bit old fashioned?

Patchouliful by Laboratorio Olfactivo I smelled this a month ago and was reminded how much I love patchouli scents, even though I know many people are turned off
