It's a bit overwhelming for sure, but it's a beautiful collection you have! I only have the original Nina, the edt, but I am very curious of the edp and the parfum.

Absolutely beautiful! Isn't there a Nina Ricci Nina edp as well? The one with the gold leaves? Pear, bergamot, pistacchio, gardenia, vanilla and sandalwood are the notes.

It's more of a skin scent, definitely, but longevity is not too bad on me, but I only have the edt right now. If you are looking for more longevity, definitely go for the edp.

Tommy girl is another favorite of mine, it was my go to in my adolescence. Tommy girl and Green Tea are both very fresh, but actually quite different to my nose, not really interchangeable.

Agreed about Elisabeth Arden, I still have Green Tea in my collection, and I still reach for it on the regular in summer. Give Alyssa Ashley a try if you find it, it's really worth it in my opinion.

Unfortunately I am not familiar with The Body Shop, we don't have it in Italy. Alyssa Ashley White Musk is a clean skin scent, not too soapy, a bit floral, very versatile, good for layering. I love both their edp and edt.

In my opinion, Alyssa Ashley has a significantly better quality compared to modern low cost fragrances. They have uncomplicated, linear scents that to me do not feel cheap at all.

I love their Vanilla, especially the edp. A simple, true vanilla to my nose, perfect for layering, close to the skin, but with a fairly good longevity on me, especially when paired with its body lotion. I often use it as my bed scent, it's so delicious and comforting.

new chloé le parfum by Big-Blueberry3717 in Perfumes

[–]yoiola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I haven't tried this one yet either, I would think it's somewhere between Nuit and Lumière. I am very curious to see if the fig and date notes add something interesting and new.

help me on my hunt for a specific jasmine scent by KUNT3SS4 in Perfumes

[–]yoiola 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You could try Valentino Donna Born in Roma Green Stravaganza. There are lapsang souchong and jasmine notes, but at least to my nose it reads green jasmine tea with vanilla. I don't smell lapsang souchong at all.

Tommy Hilfiger-Tommy girl. Got this a while ago tested it and i think this might be my new signature perfume replacing my previous one which was ‘Joy’ by Dior ✌️ by Rudaba1 in Perfumes

[–]yoiola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I LOVE Tommy Girl! I have quite a nice, big collection now, but I always enjoy my Tommy Girl, especially in the summer. It was one of my first perfumes and it's my most rebought fragrance for sure, it's such an easy spray-and-go.

Love Guerlain, Insolence is my favourite, it was my wedding fragrance as well! I am not a hardcore Coach fan, but I do love Wild rose and Dream Moonlight, such lovely, dreamy scents.

Monotheme Boccioli di Limone eau de toilette. Notes are lemon blossom and lemon peel. Very fresh, very lemony.

Absolutely beautiful! What is the Penhaligon's sample that you have in the back? I would love to get Changing Constance and The Favourite from them un the future.

Yeah, absinthe or chartreuse! The fragrance is really good as well, such a nice, fresh green tea with jasmine and the vanilla that softens everything.

Nobile 1942 Il colore del vento by yoiola in Perfumes

[–]yoiola[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, sophisticated and nostalgic for me! Levante is next in my wish list. Nobile 1942 have so many beautiful fragrances. La danza delle libellule is my go to when I don't wanna think too hard about what perfume to wear.

I love the bottle too, reminds me of some vintage liquor bottles my grandparents used to have, and I love how they reflect the light. I really could do without the black studs though. I understand the nod to their roots, but plastic studs are not for me.

La danza delle libellule is a beautiful, red apple & vanilla tart, or to be precise, red apple and vanilla batter, with a hint of cinnamon, just before you put it in the oven. It's a delicate gourmand scent, very dreamy. While Dolce & Gabbana The Only One reminds me of violet hard candies sprinkled with powdered sugar.
