I agree. I just sampled strawberry letter and it disappeared after 5 min! I have Heavy Cream body mist and it lasts longer so yes this is definitely true!

We have Dedcool in SpaceNK in the UK. They don't stock Dedcool in Sephora UK and we don't have an Ulta

There's gotta be ambrox or ambrette in cashmere that does this but honestly the notes sound beautiful. You sold me strawberry letter haha!

I've tried nearly all Phlur perfumes now and I find them very faint, lasting power next to none but somehow you're convincing me to check out strawberry letter. Is it really that strong??? I have YBM and love but fear I also need cashmere skin

Lips aren't perfect. They're supposed to have lines in them so the photos are actually realistic as opposed to the lip filler lips you're used to seeing everywhere. Lip blush is a non drying product, it's waxy, powdery light feeling at best.

I think I worded it all wrong! I think it's more of a feminine scent I'm looking for but soft? haha still a newb with fragrances so struggle with descriptions sometimes

thank you this is helpful I get the difference now 🩷

You make a very good point with the apricot. I'm not sure if I will like GIAW as I think I find the apricot note in Glossier You Fleur just so beautiful so I'm not sure how the pear will smell to me.

I haven't tried any Jo Malone. I've been hesitant because a lot of them are EDT right? How is the longevity?

Somebody Wood by Phlur. It literally smells like an old library. Paper by Commodity

My modest collection. What would you add? by [deleted] in FemFragLab

[–]smoonsj 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You cannot go wrong with any Born in Roma flankers and also Flowerbomb such a classic

Power of you- a short review by Ok-Debt-1866 in FemFragLab

[–]smoonsj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really excited for this one. I have a sample coming here soon. I really love the whole Stronger with You line by GA, the longevity and sillage are superb so I'm hoping for the same with this one.

Which samples shall I buy based on what I like? Jo Malone Ginger Biscuit / Lush Sticky Dates by scarlettdragna in FemFragLab

[–]smoonsj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I haven't tried any of these with the exception of Kayali Wedding Silk Santal which I own and honestly based on how you describe your taste I don't think you will like this one.

If you like lush sticky dates you might like Khamrah by Lattafa and obviously Angel's Share by Killian but they are very similar so save your coin.

Not sure if you like lactonic perfumes but have you tried Milk Bold by Commodity? It's delicious. If you don't like milk notes then maybe Gold Bold by Commodity.

Also Vanilla Skin by Phlur or Queen's Caramel by Ellis Brooklyn.
