Hello @Akira1005 , it has been so fun to get to talk with you more! ๐Ÿค—
I hope it's okay I'm writing on your wall - I don't want to miss any of your replies (since they disappear over time in the "Shout-Outs" section, and I will be stepping away from my computer now - so if I write you here, I can see the replies tomorrow when I come back).
I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed White Vanilla - even if it was slightly different from Brown Vanilla, it sounds so pleasant! I am with you in enjoying that type of scent profile too, it's very calming and clean.
Do you know of other Fernanda scents like this one?
Or are there any "floral-fresh" Fernanda scents you enjoy?
Great choices for BBW scents! Vanilla Bean Noel is amazing, one of the best fragrances BBW has ever made - I hope you will get to test it (but hopefully one of the older bottles, since the newer formulas are very synthetic).

Cherry Limeade is fun, it smells exactly like the Cherry Limeade drink does in real life - does Japan have this drink too?
Champagne Toast is nice, however to me it can smell a bit candied and synthetic over time. You are right, the older formula for that one is better.
Based on the notes you listed on your profile that you enjoy, have you heard of BBW's "Fresh Vanilla Blossoms" (soft suede, fresh vanilla, sandalwood, and light florals) and "Blush Cardigan" (smells like raspberry-flavored Dr. Pepper)? They sound like fragrances you might like, too (I especially love Fresh Vanilla Blossoms)!
Have you tried any fragrances from the brand J-Scent?
I will be interested to see more of your reviews on Japanese fragrances, so I can know which ones to add to my test list - I can tell you have good taste in fragrance and I appreciate your honest reviews @Akira1005 ! ๐Ÿ’–

Hello. I had fun too! If you have any, please write to me.
Fernanda is good at floral freshness (or rather, Japanese people really like it), so I only have scents like that, but I used to have a scent called Ameliaswell"๏ผˆhttps://www.fernanda.jp/view/item/000000000357?category_page_id=by_scent-amelia๏ผ‰, but it's now out of production. The top notes are lemon and lilac, the middle notes are rose and peach blossom, and the last notes are musk and amber, and it reminds me a little of Lanvin's Eclat d'Arpege, but it's a simpler and more familiar scent. I'm sure you'll like this one too, but it's no longer on sale. I'd like to recommend it to you, but I don't want to introduce anything other than what I'm convinced of, so I'll put it on hold. lol
Vanilla Bean Noel...I guess it's difficult!

There is no "cherry limeade" in Japan lol
I've always been a weirdo who loved Dr. Pepper, and I love lime, so I definitely love this. I also love Haribo.
I was told somewhere that the champagne toast is similar to LUSH's Celebrate. Celebrate isn't sold at LUSH now...
BBW is not distributed at all, and sometimes they sell it at an exorbitant price, so I don't know what kind it is. Tears
Fresh vanilla blossoms looks good! I wonder what suede is like. Is it bitter? Blush Cardigan! I wanted the scent of Dr. Pepper so badly that I thought about importing it from a dupe perfume site with a name like Wicked good. I gave up because it was suspicious and expensive.
I want to try J-Scent too, but I can only try it when I have business in Tokyo, so I haven't had much time yet. But I was interested in "Anmitsu". (Fruit sweets topped with sweet bean paste)
That's what I say. Just like you@Gouemandgrl, I'm someone who is searching for a scent that satisfies me.

@Akira1005 would it be alright if I sent you a message?
I'm realizing that there are so many different places I have been leaving you notes, so I apologize if it has been hard to find them all or if I have been sending you too many notifications ๐Ÿ™ˆ
I thought it might be easier, if I were to send you a message (to find them all in one place)!
Hopefully this would be okay for me to do ๐Ÿ’–

@Gourmandgrl It's not a notification problem, I mistyped the @๏ฝž.Yes! I was thinking the same thing. This is going to be long like a receipt. I'll send you this reply! (I've never used this feature though.)

@Akira1005 thank you so much for your understanding! ๐Ÿ™
Lol yes, I love that comparison of the long receipt - it made me laugh! ๐Ÿ˜‚
No worries in the slightest about not using the messaging feature yet.
I believe it is quite intuitive to use, and I appreciate that it allows you to split it is up into paragraphs + tag fragrances, too!
Plus neither of us have to worry about remembering to tag the other person, since I forget to do this as well ๐Ÿ™ˆ
