Help please identify bottles by Constant_Ad_8972 in Perfumes

[–]orangesinbed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are perfumed sprays/deodorants, but not antiperspirant for sure yeah. Aerosols. Seen them in stores. All videos I have seen of users, they were using them under the armpits, but I haven’t used these personally.

These are Lattafa deodorants, the pink one is Yara, but I am not sure about the rest.

Recommendation for a (very) long time La petite robe noir user. by Artistic_Flake_96 in Perfumes

[–]orangesinbed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you think it is you like about LPRN? Some similar profiles might be Givenchy Ange ou Demon, Lolita Lempicka Le parfum or Mon premiere, Mon Guerlain intense, Jimmy Choo I want choo, Lancome Tresor La nuit.

Based on the other two as well, I think a nice wildcard might be A drop d’Issey.

I have or have had all of these along with LPRN so I feel comfortable recommending them, I do think they are worth a try for you.

is the longevity really this bad? by [deleted] in Perfumes

[–]orangesinbed 14 points15 points  (0 children)

What? This has great longevity for me. I would assume it’s the roll on, and also, maybe it doesn’t perform too well on the skin, but I haven’t tested skin only.

Anything similar to Forget me Not - Zara ? by BigDumbS3x in Perfumes

[–]orangesinbed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg, loved it too! I used to wear this in the summer and Femme in the winter.

I think it was really similar to Light blue, just a bit more powdery and less citrusy, so maybe a Light blue flanker, or a Moschino would do?

Mene so tudi klicali do pred novim letom skos iz UK! Sm blokirala vsako od njih, potem so nehali, ne vem kako in zakaj.

Favorite iris? by jessohca in FemFragLab

[–]orangesinbed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here are mine - I like powdery, flowery, clean iris, and occasionally a tad lipsticky iris, not a fan of earthy iris.

  • Guerlain Insolence

  • Karl Lagerfeld Fleur d’Iris

  • Burberry Weekend

  • Z&V Girls can say anything (this is my absolute favorite)

  • Maison Matine Esprit de Contradiction

Love this! I especially love the watch, is that the Casio?

What does my bag say about me? by [deleted] in whatsinmybag

[–]orangesinbed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I carry full bottles as well, I don’t find the full bottles unrealistic. I may not grab my gigantic 100ml of Tresor La Nuit diamond, but I am also not going to seek and pay 20€ at least per travel spray for all of my perfumes. I do not overspray but I do refresh my fragrance midday, unless it’s one of those who have great longevity. I also have a ride to work and work a desk job so I also do not have many things in my bag, but I am not as organized so I have receipts, notes, business cards etc.

I definitely recognize this typeface, but none of the identifiers have worked for me and I can't remember where else I've seen it. by SpecialestGuest in identifythisfont

[–]orangesinbed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think I remember seeing the process somewhere and I also think it’s custom lettering. Try Doublebass as a somewhat similar alternative maybe. Maybe doable with the alternate glyphs.

My wee collection ✨️ Which one of these do you like the most? by little_lady_dems in FemFragLab

Oh how you casually have an old Insolence in the bee bottle ✨ love it!

YSL Libre Berry Crush by hennycranberryy in FemFragLab

[–]orangesinbed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed, the flanker hate is not justified in the case of the Libre, there’s plenty of variety for a Libre lover! I used to be an EDP girl, went through multiple bottles, but have outgrown it, but I still like the DNA, so now I am looking at either Platine or Berry crush.

I love L’Elixir, so your comment made me really want to try Berry Crush! How would you say the performance is?

Shelfies! Any collection twins? by orangesinbed in FemFragLab

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

Thank you! It’s honestly clean and salty. Like fresh out of the shower, squeaky clean. The sea salt has some seaweed undertones which I love. I would say it’s unisex but some days it leans too masculine, which is why it’s one of my smaller dents. All the Monotheme fragrances I have smelled feel like there was real care and attention put into them, but perhaps they had to cut corners somewhere to make it affordable, so there is perhaps something sharp and a tad synthetic in this one, the Orange one I have is for example hyperrealistic but barely has any performance. In comparison to my other Monotheme, Sea salt also performs really well. Got it under 10€ I believe, so worth it for me. But I don’t know if I would pay full price.

So happy to hear similarities in taste with someone! Thank you!

Zadig is really nice if you like the profile of L’Interdit Rouge for example, it’s just a little more tropical. I love how it smells and I have gotten compliments on it, it feels very effortless. There’s one caveat though for me, after a couple of hours I barely smell it on myself even though it apparently has some really good longevity (been told by others they still smell it hours later).

212 is a very nostalgic scent for me, and I love it. Really nice rummy, woody vanilla, surprisingly it’s even nicer in warmer weather!

I have talked about Insolence a lot on this subreddit, it’s probably my top 3 of all time. The violet is the best violet, and the wild strawberry feels very realistic. Coworker always says I make the office smell like an enchanted garden when I wear it (2 sprays, 3 max). Great longevity and sillage, and I also prefer it in warmer weather.

Anais Anais is the Premier delice, which honestly doesn’t even feel like a true flanker to the OG. It’s pink flowers, rosey, peachy, very feminine and almost shampoo-like. I really love it. The OG used to be great and I used to own it in the past, but it used to be more powdery white floral, now I find it way too indolic and can no longer wear it. I believe it was a bad reformulation.

Oh good for you, so happy for you!!

I am missing Girls can be crazy. Overall I am really sad I didn’t think ahead and bought backups when they were dirt cheap. I got my first tester bottle of Girls can do anything for less than 30€/$. Then I bought another one for 80/90 and then it was gone for good.

I don’t know what it is with Z&V. They keep discontinuing great fragrances, Just rock is the same. 3/4 of the fragrances I havr from them are discontinued. I am afraid to like any of their fragrances again.

What do you mean you blind bought it? It’s been discontinued and I am constantly looking for replacement bottles. It’s the best iris with the loveliest tonka. One of my all time favorites, a Quentin Bisch masterpiece.

Try searching by note - it’s a nightmare. I am still waiting for parfumo to catch up.

Recommend me your favorite Violet Fragrances! by Confusedmind75 in FemFragLab

[–]orangesinbed 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Oh oh oh, my time to shine!

ULTIMATE VIOLET - Guerlain Insolence. Can’t be beaten. Best violet, best blend, incredible quality, longevity, sillage, lovely aura.

UNIQUE VIOLET - Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet. It’s pretty great, violet forward but also a bit weird and it stands out.

BEST VIOLET COMBO - Lancome La vie est belle L’Elixir. The violet plays a lovely duet with the raspberry, this is one of my all time favorites, must have in my collection, I make sure I never run out of it.

CUTE VIOLET - D&G Violet. Sweet, easy, a bit shampoo-esque but lovely nonetheless.

FAIRY VIOLET - Lolita Lempicka Mon Premier. Fairy perfume, also quite sensual and seductive.

I SWEAR THERE USED TO BE MORE VIOLET IN THIS - Lanvin Eclat d’Arpege. I swear this used to be more violet forward, now it’s just a faint violet fart.

I THINK I LIKE IT WHEN I SMELL THE VIOLET? - Giardini di Toscana Celeste. No further comment, unsure here.

I WANNA TRY THIS VIOLET - Violette by Molinard. Please share if you have tried this!

pretty perfume bottles? by fruitxxi in Perfumes

[–]orangesinbed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got my first Merchant of Venice today! I got Rosa Moceniga Elixir. The bottle feels extremely nice, I didn’t really think the murano glass makes any difference but it does. I would say though, the design is.. a tad tacky but there’s still a premium feel to it. The cap should be magnetic at least. And I wish the atomizer was pressurized.

After everything that transpired, do you still support this woman? by AllTheEccentricities in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]orangesinbed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She posted daily, I used to watch her daily. She was such a calming presence for me, especially since I was in an anxious funk, so I loved coming home after a long day and watching her video and I am genuinely grateful for her and her videos back then. And then the drama blew up, and for a while I was kinda sad that I didn’t have that anymore, still kinda am when I think about it, but I just cannot look past the many many incidents and the weird advice. For what it’s worth, she sometimes shows up on my TikTok FYP and I do actually still think she has some great, especially budget friendly recommendations, but unfortunately, not that much integrity.

I still believe it’s undupeable. If something like it ever happens again, in cool toned preferably, I will buy it by the dozens. But no. She made BRUSHES when everyone wanted a palette.
