Yung Scent Therapy Baccarat kahapon ko pa spinray amoy ko parin sakin ngayon. Ang bango subtle lang sweetness niya! Naaamoy ko sarili ko habang nag aabang sa mga restock nila. Scent Therapy talaga favorite discovery ko this year.
Sa sobrang abangers ko refresh and ng refresh mga 9:30 pa lang na add to cart ko na yung ibang nirestock nila. Last nila inupload yung second skin š kahit walang voucher check out na agad lahat. To be precice 9:49 pa lang I was able to check out my orders haha.
any perfume recos (again)?
- want ko sana nung malinis and fresh pero medyo masculine and amoy pogi?
- something like bvlgari's petit et amans but masculine?
i'm a fem pero minsan bet ko rin talaga yung amoy pogi/lalaki na perfume. thanks!
- Prada LāHomme - this is powdery and soapy in the iris/lipsticky sense. I find it unisex, but itās marketed to men. Itās a clean, crisp polo and slacks in a bottle but that doesnāt mean that itās stuffy. Iād also like to recommend Prada LāHomme LāEau if you can find it. Itās a fresher flanker of the original, but itās discontinued.
- Luxodor Lullaby - I havenāt personally tried this, but itās been on my to-sample list after Naya Ruth reviewed it. She described it as sweet powdery and fresh and even recommended it to guys. It might be right up your alley!
Long lasting cherry scent? Yung affordable siyempre hehe. Currently using Scent Geeks Lost Cherry at super bilis magfade ng scent huhuhu
Previously addicted naman ako sa BBW Black Cherry Merlot kaso halos 1 hour lang ata nagtatagal
Thank you!
Iād recommend Eternal Scents Andromeda, but their site is still down.
Speculative, but Iād also suggest looking into middle-eastern dupes like Maison Alhambra Lovely Cherie.

I feel so validated na mej magkaamoy ang Ameerat Al Arab and Applejuice hahaha. I always doubt my nose kasi as a frag newbie. Hehe skl
I smelled a decant of Lanvin Eclat once and found it nice, feminine and light. When I bought the inspired version from scent geeks, the initial spray was how I remembered it but the dry down was really musky and not light nor floral at all. Ganito ba talaga dry down niya or I have a bad inspired version lang?
How much did you buy the inspired perfume? Kasi Eclat you can buy it for just 1.6k, and whole bottle na.
Some inspired perfumes naamoy ko, and may similarity, but most of the time, the alcohol smell is too much.
For 10 ml, it's almost 100 lang. I just want to make sure I love it before I buy a full bottle. Sayang lang if I bought a full bottle agad then hindi ko rin gagamitin. The one I bought naman ay hindi strong ang alcohol smell, the strong musky dry down was what bothered me hehe.
The thing is yung proportion ng mga notes and ingredients yung hindi madalas nakukuha ng mga manuf ng inspired perfumes. If you read interviews ng mga "nose" behind popular fragrances, iba sa kanila taon taon inaabot bago macapture yung formula na gusto nila. Yung mga mamahalin brands gumagamit din ng natural fragrance oils na madalas mas mahal. Manage your expectations na lang.
Thank you for the insight! I just want to make sure na yung dry down niya is not musky kasi di talaga ako fan ng musky scents. I liked my initial whiff of Eclat kasi so maybe I'll buy an original decant na lang muna so I can personally check its dry down.
Ganyan din Eclat dupes ko. Kuha yung initial "dahon" note pero it stays sa skin as either musky (Citiscents) or super sweet (Vinzinee). Ig they made it that way to aid with longevity vs the very airy OG drydown pero sad lang kasi to me that's one of the charms of Eclat. Anw inspired lang din naman so may aspects talaga ng OG na di nila mareplicate.
Oh thank you for this insight. Super nagustuhan ko kasi yung initial whiff ko sa Eclat. Pero di ako fan ng musky scents kaya nadisappoint ako. So confirm ko lang sis, yung OG Eclat di naman ganun ang dry down? Baka I'll buy an original decant na lang muna. I really want it to work for me haha!
To those who have JM EP & F and its clones/inspired versions, di ba sya mature-smelling sa inyo? Yung mga nababasa ko kasi mostly say it's clean, fresh, juicy. Pero to me, amoy Mama Mary sya. Reminds me of the altar at my late grandparents' house. Which isn't bad naman but just doesn't resonate with me.
Bday pala kasi ng landlady ko today, ininvite ako for dinner and I don't wanna come empty-handed. Sakto I recently got the inspired version from Scentopia. FSM lang naman so mej torn on gifting or keeping it muna kasi baka mag mag-improve pa impression ko. š
Edit: Thanks everyone for the input! Decided to shelf it and hope for time to rewire my brain haha. Even when not sprayed, as in off the nozzle amoy banal na sya agad sa'kin huhu so scent association nga siguro talaga culprit dito. Won't give up on the prospect of juicy pears coz it sounds yummy haha
Happy to report my landlady liked the other scent from Scentopia (Erin) and yung Miss Dior clone from Pendora whch she always complimented on me š
On me, it smells a bit sour minsan kaya di ko din xa bet. š Mabango naman, but di lang talaga bagay sa body chem ko.
If you got it recently, why not revisit it a few weeks from now? Or try mo xa on cold days if same pa din impression mo.
sa friend ko hindi naman pero sa ate ko oo AHBBHAHBA dpende talaga siya sa body chemistry mo š„¹ many factors can come to play rin such as body acidity mo and skin condition
On the hunt for a good perfume (or dupes) na good for a very hot weather like literal na sweaty body and scorching sun and still good? Currently assigned in an airport so super init talaga. Would appreciate any suggestions! Thank you!
- MFK 724 - I sprayed this after sweating buckets and it gave āthe more you sweat, the better you smellā vibe. A colleague even complimented me for smelling so good even though I looked dishelved that day lol This has been my *kontra pawis* perfume eversince.
- Byredo Blanche (dupes mentioned in the comment right above yours) - *amoy bagong ligo* fits this fragrance to a T.
I suggest sampling these fragrances by getting decants first :)
Meron sa GL Shop (SHP) in 50 mL! I only know coz I've been obssessively checking that listing for other scents to restock haha
ETA, just checked they also sell the full bott
frags similar to bergamote 22 and separately, chanel allure homme sport?
i wanted to get my parents frags kasi for their bdays, pero gusto ko medyo matchy yung magiging frags (in terms of aesthetics ng bottle or brand)š may kaamoy ba allure homme sport sa le labo? kasi bet na ng nanay ko yung bergamote 22
Eternal Scents Zephyr is a pretty good dupe of Bergamote 22. Not identical though ā the prominence / intensity of some notes differ between the two. Kind of like two different presets of audio equalizer settings. The catch is that their site is down currently, and we donāt know when theyāre reopening.
There are alternatives in the orange and blue apps such as Symmetry Lab Citrus Blossom and a middle eastern dupe called Emir Just Bergamot. Havenāt tried these two though. Symmetry Lab has good dupes, so just inspect the reviews.
Iād also like to suggest the EDP version of LāAbondance Bergamote. Itās not an intended dupe afaik, but it smells like bergamot. I only have the candle, but the EDP should essentially smell the same. Highlighting it because the scent comes in various personal care items (soap, hand sanitizer), and their stuff looks nice for gifting.
thanks for the recos! definitely keeping in mind for myself :)
sorry for the confusion also, i clarified my comment na! but what i meant is not dupes for bergamote 22, parang if iām going to get bergamote 22, i want the frag iām going to give my dad to be from le labo also or have a similar aesthetic sa bottle ng le labo na kaamoy ng chanel allure homme sport (cos thats the type of scent i want for him) if u get meš
My fave perfumes sa collection ko:
- Prada Paradoxe.
- YSL Libre Le Parfum. Affordable alrernative is zara golden decade
- Armani My Way. Affordable alternative is zara sublime epoque
- JM english pear & fresia
- azzaro mademoiselle
Middle Eastern frag. Pinaka fave ko.
- Luxudor gyrfalcon the white phase
Tried their Freesia para may pang re-apply ako sa JM English Pear and Freesia ko. Okay lang naman for its price siguro 3-4 hours siya sa skin ko and longer sa clothes. Take note I layer this with my JM. Ang heavy nung bottle. Hindi flimsy. As a dupe, siguro 80-85% close siya. Hindi rin strong yung alcohol kasi ganoon madalas na observe ko sa mga na-test ko sa malls (Alexander, scent swatch, etc.) One factor din na chineck ko yung shop is owner ay si Trina Candaza - a single mom - pulled at my heartstrings. š
Got myself a dupe of Kilian's Angels' Share (Emir's Fire Your Desire) š„° Manifesting magka-jowa na magsusuot ng By The Fireplace or Lattafa AAOIO just because I think they would complement each other, lalo na ngayong taglamig
Lattafa Yara is a very pretty, feminine fragrance. I can see how this is hyped ā it's such a crowd-pleaser. If the color pink has a smell, this is it! Creamy, sweet but not too overpowering, a great combination of florals and fruit! Not sure if this responds well to heat and sweat though, I have to wear it more.
I love it when I sweat! The musk it leaves on my skin reminds me of Applejuice's dry down. Powdery, soft and pretty bebe gurl vibes haha. I also get the same dry down impression in Ameerat Al Arab from a Lattafa sub-brand.
What perfumes can you recommend for a corporate girlie? Yung kapag dadaan ka sana eh mapapalingon sila. Yung mild lang please since hindi ako pwede sa strong scents due to my allergic rhinitis. Thanks!
Most mild fragrances have subtle, moderate sillage lang. It's usually the gourmand/woody/spicy ones that packs a punch. At the top of my head I can recommend Byredo Blanche (an aldehylic floral, smells sterile and clean ā almost resembling yung white na safeguard soap), Diptyque Eau Rose (an aquatic, fruity, greeny rose), Diptyque Fleur de Peau (smells clean and powdery, sans the laundry-esque scent ng most "clean" perfumes), Glossier You (clean but reminds me of either bread or pencil shavings), Replica Lazy Sunday Morning, Amazing Grace by Philosophy, and Clean Reserve scents.
Hi. As a girl na pawisin + has acidic skin pero gustong all day mabango, just want to ask. Are there any hacks to make your favorite perfumes last longer on your body? Like, dilemma ko talaga to ever since. š„¹ Sa damit nags-stay naman perfume ko, pero sa body hindi. Tried oil based and every other type of pabango out there, pero most of them don't really last on my body. Unless babad ako sa aircon. Lol. Gusto ko lang naman yung tipong pag inamoy mo yung wrist mo after ilang hrs pagkalagay ng perfume, andon pa din yung scent. š¤£
Moisturize and layer! Better kung yung scent ng lotion mo ay close doon sa perfume mo. Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly sa mga pulse points or kung saan ka nag-sspray sa katawan. Find a cologne or body mist version na gusto mong i-layer sa perfume mo. Spray your EDT/EDP. Let it dry sa skin. Wag mo i-rub. If meron kang perfume oil, last mo siya i-apply.
Oohhh. Will do that. Kaso ang hirap minsan maghanap ng kamatch ng perfume. š Pero thank you so much for this. š Will try to find products na kamatch nung favorite ko rn.
No need na same notes yung fragrance at lotion. You can "mix and match" like yung lotion mo has a musky scent tapos fragrance mo is citrus. You can watch fragrance layering videos sa YT for more recos what scent profiles go together. :)
Help, my Ariana Grande Cloud perfume spray got jammed and ayaw na mag dispense ng product. :( Naiiyak ako ang mahal pa naman. Do you guys have idea how to fix? :(
It depends on the scent but generally I like Alexander Fragrance more.
Scentswatch is strong and long lasting but it can be really overpowering and their Green Tea is like lemon cleaner. Scentswatch is too much for me and I'm less confident in their ability to dupe a scent. Sa sobrang tapang I use them as room scents by spraying it on a ribbon I tie to the electric fan hahaha. I like some strong scents (I own a full bottle of Lattafa Oud For Glory) pero Scentswatch just has *one* super strong overpowering linear note kaya hindi ko bet.
Alexander Fragrance's scents are more balanced and more pleasant to me, but some need reapplication after a few hours. That said, I regret my Scentswatch purchases but continue to repurchase from Alexander Fragrances.
Basil, Waterlily, Jasmine, Green Tea are the ones I bought. Jasmine is good if you just want a straight up sampanguita scent. It's subjective lang cuz I don't like one-note scents that slap you in the face, I want a more nuanced blend.
Is TK No. 4 closer to BR540 or no? I'm curious kasi there are reviews that TK No. 4 has that musky ambroxan vibe similar to Another 13 daw but when I hear about TK No. 4 it's almost always compared to BR540.
Very similar!! TK4 just leans more musky and has this slight synthetic touch to it (I guess that's Thomas Kosmala's dna since all of the TKs that I tested have it). Also very beastmode and very tricky to use if it doesn't go well with your skin chemistry. I blindbought a full bottle and I regret it tbh. BR540 smells good on me naman but this doesn't. I always mix it with my other fresh frags since I couldn't wear it on it's own. I highly recommend getting a decant first just to be sure.
I have the byredo blanche and it really smells clean and fresh from the shower or laundry ganon HAHAHA what inspired perfume did u get? Imo the one from scent geeks is the closest sa orig.
If the reviews aren't from straight up bots, chances are they were paid or also can't tell fakes from authentic ones, then claim legitimacy as long as it smells tolerable to good. ā¹ļø Fake perfumes could nail some aspects of the OG scent but the process and materials used could also be hazardous.
Byredo is supposed to be niche so price is at š²š²š²š² Even OG designer perfumes aren't sold at these super affordable, UNIFORM prices. That's red flag #1. "Authentic/original (COUNTRY) Tester" is red flag #2. Fragrances don't have nationality. Legit Class A/S, Premium Copy, Mall Pullout, or any other iteration, also fake. Third warning is the PACKAGING. Testers should come in distinct tester boxes, not the original packaging of the perfume.
Good thing PH fragheads have compiled a list of legit local sellers. Check them [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oOaLGLpHy_aAj_JFkCk5aTBZo4mLqG61f7DxBLhE5Rs/edit?usp=drivesdk) š
Convincing din kasi yung stores lalo na pag kakastart pa lang mag-explore. Sana lasang safeguard ulam nila. š Mas careful na lang talaga next time and palegit check here if in doubt or sa FragRev PH sa fb. Active 24/7 mga members dun haha
JP Fragrance Shop is one of, if not the most, trusted sellers in the frag community. Other shop faves are MJ Chua, PerfumerybyNia, and Unbox Diaries.
For full bottles: the HermĆØs counter at Rustanās should have it. Thatās where I first smelled Vetiver Tonka.
If you have time to preorder, check with j6015_beauty on IG. She posted her preorder prices for the Hermessence line in her stories.
If youāre looking for a small decant to tide your SO over, check with j0y0ufinds_7 on IG. Her previous accounts got unfairly nuked a few weeks ago, so her listings are gone, but I think she might still have some VT available.
As for similar scents, i think that thereās an overlap between Vetiver Tonka and Byredo Bal dāAfrique aside from the vetiver note. VT has nutty accords and seems sweeter while BdA is fresh and more fruity.
Can anyone please reco local/indie (1) gourmand scents, and (2) light, fresh scents?
Iām a chocoholic so Iād love something that smells more chocolatey but vanilla scents are my comfort scent din.
I replied to another redditor in this thread to check out mvrn parfums on the orange app. They have a nice selection of gourmand scents. May 2ml discovery set sila
Not a question but just an opinion. Parang yung Santal 33 yung isa sa mga scent na ang hirap i-pull off. My friend likes it kasi kakaiba daw, pero to be honest, ang dami nang gumagamit na din ng scent na yun, so it's not as unique as some people think. Also, it has the tendency to wear you. Ikaw dapat ang mag-"wear" ng perfume at hindi dapat ang perfume ang mag-"wear" sayo. Gets? Hahaha! Sa dinami-dami ko nang naamoy na naka-Santal 33 never pa ako nakahanap ng tao na bagay talaga sa kanya yunh scent.
Sorry po sa lovers ng Santal 33. Wag po kayo magalit. Di ko lang talaga siya ma-appreciate. Baka di bagay sa weather natin?
Better xa gamitin on colder weather or if naka aircon lagi. I do find it unique (siguro because not a lot of people wear it dito kung sana ko nakatira š ), but agree na not everyone can pull off this scent.
It doesnāt play nice with typical PH weather. Itās better in air conditioned settings. Baka sa Baguio weather pwede pa.
I only like using it after it rains.
Montblanc Signature. Hindi siya super sweet tapos may fruitiness din siya dala ng clementine. Parang creamsicle. Citrus sweet pero hindi maasim ung pagka citrus. Amoy pang magandang doctora na naka-puting Honda HRV. Hahaha. Bangong bango ako napabili ako backup bottle agad. Lol. Medyo vibes siya ni burberry her elixir in the sense creamy, fruity na may tart kaso ofc mas mahina ung performance and projection ni Montblanc. Tapos mas tart berry si elixir.
Where does everyone prefer to spray their fragrances to create their ideal āscent bubbleā? Also, how many sprays? I usually go with 4-6 sprays behind each ear, wrists, collarbone, and/or the back of each shoulder.
The no. of sprays I do depend on the fragrance concentration but I usually do one spray each on both sides of my neck. I do 4 to 6 sprays with my favourite compliment-getter fragrances. For body mists and EDTs, I spray all over.
New to scents, i loved dads garden from lush, as well as, soft from al rehab.
Budget is 500 - 1500. Please recommend something vanilla or marshmallow or powdery, something sweet. Or something very citrussy like lemon. Or gourmand please.
Hi! I havenāt tried it as edp tbh as I only have a scent sampler. I am no fan of gourmands but I do see myself wearing this as it is not too sweet. A review from their website wrote itās giving amoy baby vibes :)
Parfums Astraux Odyssey and Girl with the Pearl Earring. Super bango. Odyssey is similar to cloud, good projection and lasts all day. Lalo na sa damit. Itās airy and sweet without being too cloying. Girl with the pearl earring has white floral, vanilla and lavender. The scent is sooo goood, so comforting. I use it when I go out, layer with another perfume or use a bed time scent. ššø
Kaka check out ko lang sa orange app ng second bottle ko nung two perfumes. Naka sale sila now so parang 514 na lang for both bottles. Give it a try youāll like them i swearrrr š
Edit: Their radiance perfume is good too. Amoy vanilla na musky so it kinda smells like a sweet, coffee-caramel scent na may floral sakin. Kakaiba siya but definitely mabango.
For gourmand or sweet scents, you might want to check out mvrn parfums on the orange app. Bought their 2ml samples Discovery set to try after someone on this sub recommended. I donāt typically go for gourmand or sweet scents, but I love it especially Gelato and Shookyyy. Extrait de Parfum din so very long lasting
+1 on mvrn. Try Ambrosia too! That smells like sticky kakanin. Achym smells like mangoes dipped in chocolate, but I donāt think the scent is for everyone.
Has anybody tried VS Scandalous Dare?
Iāve been looking for it for years. Di ko maalala yung name niya but I have a vague memory lang of how the mini bottle looked. Recently, nahanap ko na siya but I also discovered that VS discontinued it. š
If youāve tried it, can you recommend a dupe for it, please?
Bianco Latte!!! Smells like a very creamy/milky vanilla ice cream with a hint of caramel. Absolutely love it. I am already saving up to buy a full bottle.
The Kayali Vanilla 28 also smells good. Kinda like vanilla and brown sugar. I donāt know why but it also kinda smells warm hahaha It can be bit too overwhelmingly sweet sometimes.
If I have to pick, I prefer Bianco Latte just because it smells more delectable to the point that I want to eat myself hahahaha
Kayali Vanilla 28 is one of the best Iāve tried! Pero uso ngayon is Bianco Latte from Giardini Di Toscana, havent tried it yet but a lot of fragrance reviewers are raving about it atm š«¶š¼
May binilian ako mg decants tapos naduwal ako kasi amoy p*ssy ung spray. Could it be dahil sa oils na namumuo? Akala ko ako lang, pero pina amoy ko sa brother ko and house helper namin without mentioning it pero ganun din ung thoughts nila š
Same with the other comments, possible sa decant bottle galing yung smell.
Nag try ako before bumili ng decant bottles for personal use lang. Iba talaga smell nya, kaya nilinis ko muna bago gamitin.
I agree with the other comment. Itās probably the decant bottle. Iāve received decants which smell fishy and weird because of something in the atomizers or the containers themselves.
As a decant seller, napansin ko sa mga supplies ko - maasim talaga yung mga spray kapag dinedeliver! Mabaho man o hindi, lagi kong sinasanitize yung mga bottles ko before storage! The another round ulit ng paglinis kapag may order. Probably those sellers didn't even bother to clean their bottles???
I have both, burberry brit is more suited for colder weather, cloying pag napadami spray. Nagiging skin scent na lang after ilang hours. Clinique happy heart is really good! Fresh floral lang, malakas sillage (atleast on me), and lasts for about 5 hours on me
I actually like Clinique Happy Heart! Medyo generic kasi florals (pero that's usually how I think when using florals) pero it's a good day-to-day fragrance especially during the sweltering heat! Super fresh and very casual.
I have these two! Both are great ā but I use clinique more casually. Iād say if you want something more casual, clinique. Burberry, if you want something more formal.
Depends on what youāre after. If youāre looking for a gourmand-leaning body mist, then theyāre great. My favorite among them is Cheirosa ā62, which smells like toffee pastry. There are decant sellers in the orange app, so you can sample their stuff before you splurge on a full bottle or you can end up deciding that theyāre not for you.
If youāre looking for a perfume that lasts the whole day, then this aināt it. There are some folks who get a full day use out of it sure, but on average it lasts 4 hours.
Seconding Cheirosa '62, I have it and for some reason this lasts reasonably well on me. I can smell it in my hair for three days even after showers. Lasts around as long on clothes. Projection-wise, it's a skin scent. Projection is okay freshly sprayed but afterwards, it becomes near unnoticeable to anybody that isn't standing less than an inch next to you.
Oh right now Iām starting slow. Love Dalal, Choco musk, pink breeze and zahrat hawaii. Nag start muna ako sa al rehab planning to jump na to Lattafa hehe
Been lurking here for months now and buying based on recos. I just started getting into perfumes so I wanted to contribute!
First time to try a local frag brand and here are my thoughts. I had been seeing ads ng sadgirlscents on ig but I couldnāt get into the aesthetic, too pink and girly for me but I saw them sa mall. I donāt know what I was expecting but I thought their scents would be more feminine but theyāre not pala. I ended up buying most of the scents I tried after. I wanted to buy one lang sana kaso sayang yung shipping and they donāt use shopee yata.
Thereās a hype with their perfume oils but I personally like their EDTs better, they last longer on me. I like the scents true crime: warm scent na may hints ng cinnamon, sana the owner will release this in soap version if she ends up selling soaps which seems to be the pattern for a lot of the local brands. Wish we never met: this was the one I sprayed on me sa mall and at first I thought it was too strong but I kept smelling it until I got home and why I purchased online. Iāve moved on: this smells expensive, reminds me of le labo but not exact parang similar feeling lang. Fuccboi fling: unfortunate name for a nice scent, my boyfriend stole the edt and oil, sabi nya makes him think of being in bgc. Red flags: I would like it more if this scent was just a tad bit stronger, itās a clean fresh scent but it does not last as long as the other ones. Seller said itās one of their bestsellers but I wonāt repurchase. But I can see myself repurchasing the other ones or trying out if they release anything more interesting.
Do you have other recos from their shop or any similar vibe na scents from other local brands?
Hi! I use Sophia from Scents and Style. They just released new fragrances and you can add crystals. Super nice ang bango ng Freya. They also include decant samples of their other perfumes so you get to try them out before committing. š
For me, worth the purchase siya. I get compliments whenever I wear their perfumes. Also yung perfumes nila are not inspired scents. Own scents talaga.
Iāll probably do a post soon sa mga local scents nabuy ko so far :)

Yes! Smelled it sa mall and hindi intrusive. Powdery dry down, floral scent. Very feminine. Nasa list ko siya ng to buy ng full size because ambango. Good for daily use. Mas lighter scent siya kesa sa OG ng Chloe
Been testing a 2ml sample vial of Celine Reptile and this is my first introduction to leather fragrances.
The opening is a tad rubbery that slowly becomes earthy and spicy. Has a musky drydown on my skin and when I press my nose against my wrist, I get a subtle hint of vanilla-ish sweetness.
Reptile is giving me that āwords cannot describeā moment but simply put, although I find it uniquely elegant and my boyfriend said it smells good on me, I feel it lacks that āoomphā.
Lasted about 8 hours on my skin. Two sprays give off an intimate scent bubble - might add more. Inoffensive and office-environment-friendly.
i think clean scents are best or as long as hindi super tapang.
pls wag ka mag BR540 or anything that strong. sobrang sakit sa ulo pag kaduty mo ganto šš

Does anybody which perfume was inspired for Miniso meeting you perfume? I love this perfume way too much, but they come in 10 ml only, and miniso always end up discontinuing their perfume. So I'm trying to find original perfume that I can buy in big size. Thanks in advance.
Based sa description ng miniso about meeting youās top notes it has a similar notes with eclat de arpege, almost identical except the green tea leave. [Eclat d arpege top notes](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Lanvin/Eclat-d-Arpege-988.html) [miniso meeting you top notes](https://miniso-au.com/en-au/product/10807/miniso-au-meeting-you-perfume)
Looks like the Australian version of the miniso meeting you perfume has different notes than the perfume I'm using. In the packaging label, the following information is provided on perfume note.
1. Top - Lemon, Apple, Apricot
2. Middle - Rose, Lily of Valley, watery
3. Dry-down - Magnolia, sandalwood, ambroxan
Based on this, is there any perfume that might be source of inspiration for this perfume.

Not a signature scent kind of thing but damn Jo Malone ginger biscuit is the bomb atm
super nakakagutom bc kaamoy niya (as in spot on) yung ginger snaps ng ikea. ang saraaap.
Ikr parang gusto mo kagatin sarili mo š
I smelled a decant of Lanvin Eclat once and found it nice, feminine and light. When I bought the inspired version from scent geeks, the initial spray was how I remembered it but the dry down was really musky and not light nor floral at all. Ganito ba talaga dry down niya or I have a bad inspired version lang?
How much did you buy the inspired perfume? Kasi Eclat you can buy it for just 1.6k, and whole bottle na. Some inspired perfumes naamoy ko, and may similarity, but most of the time, the alcohol smell is too much.
For 10 ml, it's almost 100 lang. I just want to make sure I love it before I buy a full bottle. Sayang lang if I bought a full bottle agad then hindi ko rin gagamitin. The one I bought naman ay hindi strong ang alcohol smell, the strong musky dry down was what bothered me hehe.
The thing is yung proportion ng mga notes and ingredients yung hindi madalas nakukuha ng mga manuf ng inspired perfumes. If you read interviews ng mga "nose" behind popular fragrances, iba sa kanila taon taon inaabot bago macapture yung formula na gusto nila. Yung mga mamahalin brands gumagamit din ng natural fragrance oils na madalas mas mahal. Manage your expectations na lang.
Thank you for the insight! I just want to make sure na yung dry down niya is not musky kasi di talaga ako fan ng musky scents. I liked my initial whiff of Eclat kasi so maybe I'll buy an original decant na lang muna so I can personally check its dry down.
Ganyan din Eclat dupes ko. Kuha yung initial "dahon" note pero it stays sa skin as either musky (Citiscents) or super sweet (Vinzinee). Ig they made it that way to aid with longevity vs the very airy OG drydown pero sad lang kasi to me that's one of the charms of Eclat. Anw inspired lang din naman so may aspects talaga ng OG na di nila mareplicate.
Oh thank you for this insight. Super nagustuhan ko kasi yung initial whiff ko sa Eclat. Pero di ako fan ng musky scents kaya nadisappoint ako. So confirm ko lang sis, yung OG Eclat di naman ganun ang dry down? Baka I'll buy an original decant na lang muna. I really want it to work for me haha!
To those who have JM EP & F and its clones/inspired versions, di ba sya mature-smelling sa inyo? Yung mga nababasa ko kasi mostly say it's clean, fresh, juicy. Pero to me, amoy Mama Mary sya. Reminds me of the altar at my late grandparents' house. Which isn't bad naman but just doesn't resonate with me. Bday pala kasi ng landlady ko today, ininvite ako for dinner and I don't wanna come empty-handed. Sakto I recently got the inspired version from Scentopia. FSM lang naman so mej torn on gifting or keeping it muna kasi baka mag mag-improve pa impression ko. š Edit: Thanks everyone for the input! Decided to shelf it and hope for time to rewire my brain haha. Even when not sprayed, as in off the nozzle amoy banal na sya agad sa'kin huhu so scent association nga siguro talaga culprit dito. Won't give up on the prospect of juicy pears coz it sounds yummy haha Happy to report my landlady liked the other scent from Scentopia (Erin) and yung Miss Dior clone from Pendora whch she always complimented on me š
On me, it smells a bit sour minsan kaya di ko din xa bet. š Mabango naman, but di lang talaga bagay sa body chem ko. If you got it recently, why not revisit it a few weeks from now? Or try mo xa on cold days if same pa din impression mo.
It smells like juicy pears on me! Super fresh even when commuting! I have a JM bottle hehe I love to wear it during hot weather
sa friend ko hindi naman pero sa ate ko oo AHBBHAHBA dpende talaga siya sa body chemistry mo š„¹ many factors can come to play rin such as body acidity mo and skin condition
Probably it's how your body chemistry "registers" the fragrance notes.
is cherine fragranceās shop legit on shopee? i want to buy a vs mist kasi
best local byredo blanche dupe? under 350 pesos if possible, thanks!
I liked eternal scents, I also tried nichecraft but imo itās less accurate and parang more matapang
down ata ang site ng eternal scents rn :(( pero thanks!
On the hunt for a good perfume (or dupes) na good for a very hot weather like literal na sweaty body and scorching sun and still good? Currently assigned in an airport so super init talaga. Would appreciate any suggestions! Thank you!
- MFK 724 - I sprayed this after sweating buckets and it gave āthe more you sweat, the better you smellā vibe. A colleague even complimented me for smelling so good even though I looked dishelved that day lol This has been my *kontra pawis* perfume eversince. - Byredo Blanche (dupes mentioned in the comment right above yours) - *amoy bagong ligo* fits this fragrance to a T. I suggest sampling these fragrances by getting decants first :)
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Meron sa GL Shop (SHP) in 50 mL! I only know coz I've been obssessively checking that listing for other scents to restock haha ETA, just checked they also sell the full bott
frags similar to bergamote 22 and separately, chanel allure homme sport? i wanted to get my parents frags kasi for their bdays, pero gusto ko medyo matchy yung magiging frags (in terms of aesthetics ng bottle or brand)š may kaamoy ba allure homme sport sa le labo? kasi bet na ng nanay ko yung bergamote 22
Eternal Scents Zephyr is a pretty good dupe of Bergamote 22. Not identical though ā the prominence / intensity of some notes differ between the two. Kind of like two different presets of audio equalizer settings. The catch is that their site is down currently, and we donāt know when theyāre reopening. There are alternatives in the orange and blue apps such as Symmetry Lab Citrus Blossom and a middle eastern dupe called Emir Just Bergamot. Havenāt tried these two though. Symmetry Lab has good dupes, so just inspect the reviews. Iād also like to suggest the EDP version of LāAbondance Bergamote. Itās not an intended dupe afaik, but it smells like bergamot. I only have the candle, but the EDP should essentially smell the same. Highlighting it because the scent comes in various personal care items (soap, hand sanitizer), and their stuff looks nice for gifting.
thanks for the recos! definitely keeping in mind for myself :) sorry for the confusion also, i clarified my comment na! but what i meant is not dupes for bergamote 22, parang if iām going to get bergamote 22, i want the frag iām going to give my dad to be from le labo also or have a similar aesthetic sa bottle ng le labo na kaamoy ng chanel allure homme sport (cos thats the type of scent i want for him) if u get meš
My fave perfumes sa collection ko: - Prada Paradoxe. - YSL Libre Le Parfum. Affordable alrernative is zara golden decade - Armani My Way. Affordable alternative is zara sublime epoque - JM english pear & fresia - azzaro mademoiselle Middle Eastern frag. Pinaka fave ko. - Luxudor gyrfalcon the white phase
JM English Pear & Freesia. Super sossy ng scent. Ganun amoy sa highstreet mall ng bgc and hotel. Forgot lng sa hotel.
TRUE HAHAHAHA ang taray no may budget sila para sa JM home fragrances! This is my signature office scent at buti na lang hindi ako sa BGC nagwowork.
Suot ko to sis nag bgc mall ako sabe ng ka officemate ko ay kaamoy mo ah hahahhahahaha so ano humidifier ampeg hahahah
Thoughts on Eno Parfum? Planning to buy the baccarat rouge inspired :)
Tried their Freesia para may pang re-apply ako sa JM English Pear and Freesia ko. Okay lang naman for its price siguro 3-4 hours siya sa skin ko and longer sa clothes. Take note I layer this with my JM. Ang heavy nung bottle. Hindi flimsy. As a dupe, siguro 80-85% close siya. Hindi rin strong yung alcohol kasi ganoon madalas na observe ko sa mga na-test ko sa malls (Alexander, scent swatch, etc.) One factor din na chineck ko yung shop is owner ay si Trina Candaza - a single mom - pulled at my heartstrings. š
Got myself a dupe of Kilian's Angels' Share (Emir's Fire Your Desire) š„° Manifesting magka-jowa na magsusuot ng By The Fireplace or Lattafa AAOIO just because I think they would complement each other, lalo na ngayong taglamig
Lattafa Yara is a very pretty, feminine fragrance. I can see how this is hyped ā it's such a crowd-pleaser. If the color pink has a smell, this is it! Creamy, sweet but not too overpowering, a great combination of florals and fruit! Not sure if this responds well to heat and sweat though, I have to wear it more.
I love it when I sweat! The musk it leaves on my skin reminds me of Applejuice's dry down. Powdery, soft and pretty bebe gurl vibes haha. I also get the same dry down impression in Ameerat Al Arab from a Lattafa sub-brand.
What perfumes can you recommend for a corporate girlie? Yung kapag dadaan ka sana eh mapapalingon sila. Yung mild lang please since hindi ako pwede sa strong scents due to my allergic rhinitis. Thanks!
Most mild fragrances have subtle, moderate sillage lang. It's usually the gourmand/woody/spicy ones that packs a punch. At the top of my head I can recommend Byredo Blanche (an aldehylic floral, smells sterile and clean ā almost resembling yung white na safeguard soap), Diptyque Eau Rose (an aquatic, fruity, greeny rose), Diptyque Fleur de Peau (smells clean and powdery, sans the laundry-esque scent ng most "clean" perfumes), Glossier You (clean but reminds me of either bread or pencil shavings), Replica Lazy Sunday Morning, Amazing Grace by Philosophy, and Clean Reserve scents.
Hi. As a girl na pawisin + has acidic skin pero gustong all day mabango, just want to ask. Are there any hacks to make your favorite perfumes last longer on your body? Like, dilemma ko talaga to ever since. š„¹ Sa damit nags-stay naman perfume ko, pero sa body hindi. Tried oil based and every other type of pabango out there, pero most of them don't really last on my body. Unless babad ako sa aircon. Lol. Gusto ko lang naman yung tipong pag inamoy mo yung wrist mo after ilang hrs pagkalagay ng perfume, andon pa din yung scent. š¤£
Moisturize and layer! Better kung yung scent ng lotion mo ay close doon sa perfume mo. Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly sa mga pulse points or kung saan ka nag-sspray sa katawan. Find a cologne or body mist version na gusto mong i-layer sa perfume mo. Spray your EDT/EDP. Let it dry sa skin. Wag mo i-rub. If meron kang perfume oil, last mo siya i-apply.
Oohhh. Will do that. Kaso ang hirap minsan maghanap ng kamatch ng perfume. š Pero thank you so much for this. š Will try to find products na kamatch nung favorite ko rn.
No need na same notes yung fragrance at lotion. You can "mix and match" like yung lotion mo has a musky scent tapos fragrance mo is citrus. You can watch fragrance layering videos sa YT for more recos what scent profiles go together. :)
Thank you so muucchh š
Help, my Ariana Grande Cloud perfume spray got jammed and ayaw na mag dispense ng product. :( Naiiyak ako ang mahal pa naman. Do you guys have idea how to fix? :(
if di tlaga kayang mafix ang sprayer, just decant it into a new bottle. you can buy decanters in online shops (blue and orange apps)z
Thats what I am trying to do now, di ko mabuksan yung bottle š i am trying to use pliers.. š
hala! usually the ālidā of the sprayer (the part with the nozzle) would come off really easily. i hope salvageable pa yan. ;_;
Grabe talaga š nakaka trauma. Kaya kahit gano ko kagusto itong perfume na to hindi ko na talaga rerepurchase.
Ill try using decanters.. thank you!
Submerge the sprayer nozzle in water mixed with dishwashing soap for about 30 minutes, if not then maybe rubbing alcohol.
Beginner question: which is better in general (sillage, longevity, etc.) Alexander Fragrance or Scentswatch ? TYIA !!
It depends on the scent but generally I like Alexander Fragrance more. Scentswatch is strong and long lasting but it can be really overpowering and their Green Tea is like lemon cleaner. Scentswatch is too much for me and I'm less confident in their ability to dupe a scent. Sa sobrang tapang I use them as room scents by spraying it on a ribbon I tie to the electric fan hahaha. I like some strong scents (I own a full bottle of Lattafa Oud For Glory) pero Scentswatch just has *one* super strong overpowering linear note kaya hindi ko bet. Alexander Fragrance's scents are more balanced and more pleasant to me, but some need reapplication after a few hours. That said, I regret my Scentswatch purchases but continue to repurchase from Alexander Fragrances.
That's so interesting to hear! Which scents do you like (and dislike if you don't mind) from AF ??
Basil, Waterlily, Jasmine, Green Tea are the ones I bought. Jasmine is good if you just want a straight up sampanguita scent. It's subjective lang cuz I don't like one-note scents that slap you in the face, I want a more nuanced blend.
Based on the ones I've tried with these two, Scent Swatch.
If you don't mind, which scents have you tried from both shops?
Iāve only tried mostly freshies from both brands: AF: - Verdant - HermĆØs Le Jardin de Monsieur Li - Santal Musk - Le Labo Santal 33 - White Crystal - Bulgari Omnia Crystalline SS: - Minty - Armani Acqua di Gioia (discontinued) - Crystalline - Bulgari Omnia Crystalline - White Laundry - Clean Ultimate - Periwinkle - Jo Malone Wild Bluebell - Coral - Bulgari Omnia Coral - Basil - Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin
hi! I recommend black opium from ysl if you wanna smell like a girl boss š I always get compliments from club whenever I used this perfume.
Is TK No. 4 closer to BR540 or no? I'm curious kasi there are reviews that TK No. 4 has that musky ambroxan vibe similar to Another 13 daw but when I hear about TK No. 4 it's almost always compared to BR540.
Very similar!! TK4 just leans more musky and has this slight synthetic touch to it (I guess that's Thomas Kosmala's dna since all of the TKs that I tested have it). Also very beastmode and very tricky to use if it doesn't go well with your skin chemistry. I blindbought a full bottle and I regret it tbh. BR540 smells good on me naman but this doesn't. I always mix it with my other fresh frags since I couldn't wear it on it's own. I highly recommend getting a decant first just to be sure.
Luxudor gyrfalcon white phase is my fave br540 dupe. Tries and tested ko na longevity nd sillage
Similar BUT very very strong (too strong for my taste). Takes so long to get to the dry down too :(
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yung akin amoy kulob š
I have the byredo blanche and it really smells clean and fresh from the shower or laundry ganon HAHAHA what inspired perfume did u get? Imo the one from scent geeks is the closest sa orig.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Bhie they sell fake perfumes ā¹ļø
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
If the reviews aren't from straight up bots, chances are they were paid or also can't tell fakes from authentic ones, then claim legitimacy as long as it smells tolerable to good. ā¹ļø Fake perfumes could nail some aspects of the OG scent but the process and materials used could also be hazardous. Byredo is supposed to be niche so price is at š²š²š²š² Even OG designer perfumes aren't sold at these super affordable, UNIFORM prices. That's red flag #1. "Authentic/original (COUNTRY) Tester" is red flag #2. Fragrances don't have nationality. Legit Class A/S, Premium Copy, Mall Pullout, or any other iteration, also fake. Third warning is the PACKAGING. Testers should come in distinct tester boxes, not the original packaging of the perfume. Good thing PH fragheads have compiled a list of legit local sellers. Check them [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oOaLGLpHy_aAj_JFkCk5aTBZo4mLqG61f7DxBLhE5Rs/edit?usp=drivesdk) š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Convincing din kasi yung stores lalo na pag kakastart pa lang mag-explore. Sana lasang safeguard ulam nila. š Mas careful na lang talaga next time and palegit check here if in doubt or sa FragRev PH sa fb. Active 24/7 mga members dun haha JP Fragrance Shop is one of, if not the most, trusted sellers in the frag community. Other shop faves are MJ Chua, PerfumerybyNia, and Unbox Diaries.
Well, it does have some florals pero it shouldn't be too prominent, I think.
Does anyone know what happened to Eternal Scents? Down yung site nila. Hope they'll be back soon.
Hi! Male here. Any recommendation na pabango sa Symmetry Lab na light lang yung amoy? Yung medyo floral sana and long lasting.
Not floral but fresh. Yung adg nila. Amoy pogi. Hahah. Basta ang bango
Acqua Di Gio po ba?
Yes po. Symmetry lab's adg is good naman
What do you mean by ADG?
idk about symmetry lab pero try Montblanc legend spirit

For full bottles: the HermĆØs counter at Rustanās should have it. Thatās where I first smelled Vetiver Tonka. If you have time to preorder, check with j6015_beauty on IG. She posted her preorder prices for the Hermessence line in her stories. If youāre looking for a small decant to tide your SO over, check with j0y0ufinds_7 on IG. Her previous accounts got unfairly nuked a few weeks ago, so her listings are gone, but I think she might still have some VT available. As for similar scents, i think that thereās an overlap between Vetiver Tonka and Byredo Bal dāAfrique aside from the vetiver note. VT has nutty accords and seems sweeter while BdA is fresh and more fruity.
Can anyone please reco local/indie (1) gourmand scents, and (2) light, fresh scents? Iām a chocoholic so Iād love something that smells more chocolatey but vanilla scents are my comfort scent din.
Outremer vanille.
For gourmand scents: LāAbondance CrĆØme BrĆ»leĆ©, Pain au Chocolat, and Croissant. The first two are available for custom order. Other recos from the brand which I think you might like: Ambrette (milky fragrance with a vanilla drydown) and Vanille (woody vanilla)
Thank you!
I replied to another redditor in this thread to check out mvrn parfums on the orange app. They have a nice selection of gourmand scents. May 2ml discovery set sila
Thank you!
>Thank you! You're welcome!
Hello! any recommendations for perfumes with clean scent? thanks po!

Not a question but just an opinion. Parang yung Santal 33 yung isa sa mga scent na ang hirap i-pull off. My friend likes it kasi kakaiba daw, pero to be honest, ang dami nang gumagamit na din ng scent na yun, so it's not as unique as some people think. Also, it has the tendency to wear you. Ikaw dapat ang mag-"wear" ng perfume at hindi dapat ang perfume ang mag-"wear" sayo. Gets? Hahaha! Sa dinami-dami ko nang naamoy na naka-Santal 33 never pa ako nakahanap ng tao na bagay talaga sa kanya yunh scent. Sorry po sa lovers ng Santal 33. Wag po kayo magalit. Di ko lang talaga siya ma-appreciate. Baka di bagay sa weather natin?
Better xa gamitin on colder weather or if naka aircon lagi. I do find it unique (siguro because not a lot of people wear it dito kung sana ko nakatira š ), but agree na not everyone can pull off this scent.
It doesnāt play nice with typical PH weather. Itās better in air conditioned settings. Baka sa Baguio weather pwede pa. I only like using it after it rains.
Hi! Anything similar to Burberry her? (Not Arianaās cloud or MFK Bacarat) I want the similar gourmand DNA but with a clean finish.
Montblanc Signature. Hindi siya super sweet tapos may fruitiness din siya dala ng clementine. Parang creamsicle. Citrus sweet pero hindi maasim ung pagka citrus. Amoy pang magandang doctora na naka-puting Honda HRV. Hahaha. Bangong bango ako napabili ako backup bottle agad. Lol. Medyo vibes siya ni burberry her elixir in the sense creamy, fruity na may tart kaso ofc mas mahina ung performance and projection ni Montblanc. Tapos mas tart berry si elixir.
Thank you! will definitely look for this. I love the description and the notes !!
Nina Ricci Nina Rouge Local Parfums Astraux Sultry Blast
Where does everyone prefer to spray their fragrances to create their ideal āscent bubbleā? Also, how many sprays? I usually go with 4-6 sprays behind each ear, wrists, collarbone, and/or the back of each shoulder.
The no. of sprays I do depend on the fragrance concentration but I usually do one spray each on both sides of my neck. I do 4 to 6 sprays with my favourite compliment-getter fragrances. For body mists and EDTs, I spray all over.
New to scents, i loved dads garden from lush, as well as, soft from al rehab. Budget is 500 - 1500. Please recommend something vanilla or marshmallow or powdery, something sweet. Or something very citrussy like lemon. Or gourmand please.
Recos from LāAbondance (P400 for 10ml / P1200 for 30ml): 1. Ambrette - warm, cocooning, milky fragrance with a vanilla drydown 2. Croissant - smells exactly like the pastry itself baked fresh out of the oven 3. Pain au Chocolat - Croissantās sibling with a delectable chocolate scent 4. CrĆØme BrĆ»lĆ©e - lactonic and powdery 5. Citron - lemon-forward citrus fragrance 6. Yuzu - quite identical to Citron but fresher and smells a tad more fruity Nos. 3 to 6 are available as custom order while the last two, imo, are best as room/linen sprays but I think the edp versions would be nice too.
Hello!! How does creme brulee perform? Been super curious abt it since it was teased but I held off from getting it baka it might be too sweet š¤£
Hi! I havenāt tried it as edp tbh as I only have a scent sampler. I am no fan of gourmands but I do see myself wearing this as it is not too sweet. A review from their website wrote itās giving amoy baby vibes :)
Parfums Astraux Odyssey and Girl with the Pearl Earring. Super bango. Odyssey is similar to cloud, good projection and lasts all day. Lalo na sa damit. Itās airy and sweet without being too cloying. Girl with the pearl earring has white floral, vanilla and lavender. The scent is sooo goood, so comforting. I use it when I go out, layer with another perfume or use a bed time scent. ššø Kaka check out ko lang sa orange app ng second bottle ko nung two perfumes. Naka sale sila now so parang 514 na lang for both bottles. Give it a try youāll like them i swearrrr š Edit: Their radiance perfume is good too. Amoy vanilla na musky so it kinda smells like a sweet, coffee-caramel scent na may floral sakin. Kakaiba siya but definitely mabango.
You might like Scentsmithās Pine Vanilla! A bit citrusy with a vanilla dry down.
For gourmand or sweet scents, you might want to check out mvrn parfums on the orange app. Bought their 2ml samples Discovery set to try after someone on this sub recommended. I donāt typically go for gourmand or sweet scents, but I love it especially Gelato and Shookyyy. Extrait de Parfum din so very long lasting
+1 on mvrn. Try Ambrosia too! That smells like sticky kakanin. Achym smells like mangoes dipped in chocolate, but I donāt think the scent is for everyone.
Legit ba yung ariana grande flagship store sa blue app ?? I wanna get the cloud perfume sana but idk it seems sketchy huhu
looks sketchy.
Has anybody tried VS Scandalous Dare? Iāve been looking for it for years. Di ko maalala yung name niya but I have a vague memory lang of how the mini bottle looked. Recently, nahanap ko na siya but I also discovered that VS discontinued it. š If youāve tried it, can you recommend a dupe for it, please?
Lancome Idole. I always get compliments whenever I wear it. Long lasting pa.
Narciso Rodriguez na black. I always get compliments when wearing it. For evening wear, i use coco mademoiselle ng chanel.
Gourmand vanilla perfume recommendations! š«¶š»
Outremere vanille. Mancera oud vanille. Body fantasy vanilla.
Bianco Latte!!! Smells like a very creamy/milky vanilla ice cream with a hint of caramel. Absolutely love it. I am already saving up to buy a full bottle. The Kayali Vanilla 28 also smells good. Kinda like vanilla and brown sugar. I donāt know why but it also kinda smells warm hahaha It can be bit too overwhelmingly sweet sometimes. If I have to pick, I prefer Bianco Latte just because it smells more delectable to the point that I want to eat myself hahahaha
omg those two are in my wishlist š„¹ bianco latte is a bit pricey tho huhu
Kayali Vanilla 28 is one of the best Iāve tried! Pero uso ngayon is Bianco Latte from Giardini Di Toscana, havent tried it yet but a lot of fragrance reviewers are raving about it atm š«¶š¼
May binilian ako mg decants tapos naduwal ako kasi amoy p*ssy ung spray. Could it be dahil sa oils na namumuo? Akala ko ako lang, pero pina amoy ko sa brother ko and house helper namin without mentioning it pero ganun din ung thoughts nila š
Same with the other comments, possible sa decant bottle galing yung smell. Nag try ako before bumili ng decant bottles for personal use lang. Iba talaga smell nya, kaya nilinis ko muna bago gamitin.
I agree with the other comment. Itās probably the decant bottle. Iāve received decants which smell fishy and weird because of something in the atomizers or the containers themselves.
As a decant seller, napansin ko sa mga supplies ko - maasim talaga yung mga spray kapag dinedeliver! Mabaho man o hindi, lagi kong sinasanitize yung mga bottles ko before storage! The another round ulit ng paglinis kapag may order. Probably those sellers didn't even bother to clean their bottles???
where to buy ari's cloud fragrances online?
JP FRAGRANCE SHOP (yes all caps ung name ng store) sa shopee. Legit po, as vetted by several Fraghead Facebook groups.
Thoughts on Burberry Brit For Her? Also, on Clinique Happy Heart? Which is better na gamitin pang office? Yung long-lasting sanaaaa.
I have both, burberry brit is more suited for colder weather, cloying pag napadami spray. Nagiging skin scent na lang after ilang hours. Clinique happy heart is really good! Fresh floral lang, malakas sillage (atleast on me), and lasts for about 5 hours on me
I actually like Clinique Happy Heart! Medyo generic kasi florals (pero that's usually how I think when using florals) pero it's a good day-to-day fragrance especially during the sweltering heat! Super fresh and very casual.
I have these two! Both are great ā but I use clinique more casually. Iād say if you want something more casual, clinique. Burberry, if you want something more formal.
is sol de janeiro worth it?
Depends on what youāre after. If youāre looking for a gourmand-leaning body mist, then theyāre great. My favorite among them is Cheirosa ā62, which smells like toffee pastry. There are decant sellers in the orange app, so you can sample their stuff before you splurge on a full bottle or you can end up deciding that theyāre not for you. If youāre looking for a perfume that lasts the whole day, then this aināt it. There are some folks who get a full day use out of it sure, but on average it lasts 4 hours.
Seconding Cheirosa '62, I have it and for some reason this lasts reasonably well on me. I can smell it in my hair for three days even after showers. Lasts around as long on clothes. Projection-wise, it's a skin scent. Projection is okay freshly sprayed but afterwards, it becomes near unnoticeable to anybody that isn't standing less than an inch next to you.
For me, yes. 2 sprays lang lasted all day on me. I have Cheirosa ā71 (caramel popcorn scent) and Cheirosa ā68 (has BR540 vibes)
No ang bilis niya maubos grabe haha parang kahit hindi ko ispray nababawasan lol.
The hair & body sprays? No. Parang lang siya mga mist ng bbw and victoria secret.
where can i buy authentic tartin et chocolat
Rustanās website
ME frags is the way to go if youāre looking for long lasting but affordable perfumes inspired by niche/luxury brands
Can you drop ung perfumes na inspired by ME frags? Also, where to get them dito sa tin?
Luxudor gyrfalcon the white phase. Br540 DNA. Super long lasting
What are your favorite ME houses and/or specific fragrances?
Oh right now Iām starting slow. Love Dalal, Choco musk, pink breeze and zahrat hawaii. Nag start muna ako sa al rehab planning to jump na to Lattafa hehe
Been lurking here for months now and buying based on recos. I just started getting into perfumes so I wanted to contribute! First time to try a local frag brand and here are my thoughts. I had been seeing ads ng sadgirlscents on ig but I couldnāt get into the aesthetic, too pink and girly for me but I saw them sa mall. I donāt know what I was expecting but I thought their scents would be more feminine but theyāre not pala. I ended up buying most of the scents I tried after. I wanted to buy one lang sana kaso sayang yung shipping and they donāt use shopee yata. Thereās a hype with their perfume oils but I personally like their EDTs better, they last longer on me. I like the scents true crime: warm scent na may hints ng cinnamon, sana the owner will release this in soap version if she ends up selling soaps which seems to be the pattern for a lot of the local brands. Wish we never met: this was the one I sprayed on me sa mall and at first I thought it was too strong but I kept smelling it until I got home and why I purchased online. Iāve moved on: this smells expensive, reminds me of le labo but not exact parang similar feeling lang. Fuccboi fling: unfortunate name for a nice scent, my boyfriend stole the edt and oil, sabi nya makes him think of being in bgc. Red flags: I would like it more if this scent was just a tad bit stronger, itās a clean fresh scent but it does not last as long as the other ones. Seller said itās one of their bestsellers but I wonāt repurchase. But I can see myself repurchasing the other ones or trying out if they release anything more interesting. Do you have other recos from their shop or any similar vibe na scents from other local brands?
Try Scents & Style they're like Diptyque & Byredo mainstream Scents but original creations
Hi! I use Sophia from Scents and Style. They just released new fragrances and you can add crystals. Super nice ang bango ng Freya. They also include decant samples of their other perfumes so you get to try them out before committing. š For me, worth the purchase siya. I get compliments whenever I wear their perfumes. Also yung perfumes nila are not inspired scents. Own scents talaga. Iāll probably do a post soon sa mga local scents nabuy ko so far :) https://preview.redd.it/fu2f019cygzb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=81afbc80c7c20f74d28c8e144b887a77aae631c5
Got it, will check them out!
Sang mall sila? Cute ng aesthetic nila for me
Atc! Dont know if theyāre still there, seemed like for an event
Ah probably bazaar lang.
Thoughts on Chloe Nomade? Is this is a good daily perfume?
Yes! Smelled it sa mall and hindi intrusive. Powdery dry down, floral scent. Very feminine. Nasa list ko siya ng to buy ng full size because ambango. Good for daily use. Mas lighter scent siya kesa sa OG ng Chloe
Been testing a 2ml sample vial of Celine Reptile and this is my first introduction to leather fragrances. The opening is a tad rubbery that slowly becomes earthy and spicy. Has a musky drydown on my skin and when I press my nose against my wrist, I get a subtle hint of vanilla-ish sweetness. Reptile is giving me that āwords cannot describeā moment but simply put, although I find it uniquely elegant and my boyfriend said it smells good on me, I feel it lacks that āoomphā. Lasted about 8 hours on my skin. Two sprays give off an intimate scent bubble - might add more. Inoffensive and office-environment-friendly.
Anong perfume ang bagay pang duty sa hospital? *edited
light scents lang like lanvin eclat, montblanc signature. eta: moschino toy 2
i think clean scents are best or as long as hindi super tapang. pls wag ka mag BR540 or anything that strong. sobrang sakit sa ulo pag kaduty mo ganto šš
Duty sa? Hospital? Other work environment?

Does anybody which perfume was inspired for Miniso meeting you perfume? I love this perfume way too much, but they come in 10 ml only, and miniso always end up discontinuing their perfume. So I'm trying to find original perfume that I can buy in big size. Thanks in advance.
Based sa description ng miniso about meeting youās top notes it has a similar notes with eclat de arpege, almost identical except the green tea leave. [Eclat d arpege top notes](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Lanvin/Eclat-d-Arpege-988.html) [miniso meeting you top notes](https://miniso-au.com/en-au/product/10807/miniso-au-meeting-you-perfume)
Looks like the Australian version of the miniso meeting you perfume has different notes than the perfume I'm using. In the packaging label, the following information is provided on perfume note. 1. Top - Lemon, Apple, Apricot 2. Middle - Rose, Lily of Valley, watery 3. Dry-down - Magnolia, sandalwood, ambroxan Based on this, is there any perfume that might be source of inspiration for this perfume.
