October 3 meetup location?
Hello again everyone! Just checking in how people feel about planning for an Oct 3 meetup. Where do we want to meet? Do we want to do afternoon again? 2/2:30? My wife and I will be out of the country for like 2 weeks starting saturday so I'd like to get some details solidified before we go. Want to do Forest Park again? I liked meeting there, personally. We could do Tower Grove instead if we prefer.
arsonic I suppose I vote FP? Truly in good with either but somebody brought uo a good point of an event happening at TGP that day, so FP is my vote! Read all 18 replies

So many new members!
Hello new members! We have 26 of us now? i remember looking the last time and there were like 6! Feel free to introduce yourself if you're new (or just haven't in a while). How did y'all find out about the group? it looks like a bunch of people joined on the 27th, I know most people found the group through my reddit post but I am curious if that's where all these new people found out or if there's somewhere else we've been sharing. Thank you all for joining and excited to meet at the next meetup. EDIT: Oh I see the promo on a recent Stl Reddit post, awesome! welcome everyone
arsonic I haven't introduced myself yet, so hi! I live in STC and have only been really interested in fragrances for a few months or so. I try to stay ultra budget conscious,... Read all 13 replies

System for keeping track of frags
Of course writing reviews on here is a great way to keep track of frags, but I'm wondering if anyone else has an excel or list of their frags? I keep an excel of all the ones I've tried, that I own, and that I want to try, and am trying to get a bit more technical with it. I like the filter functions and also a way to see everything I haven't bought but am pining for lol. What kinds of information is relevant for you to remember the frag or helpful for reference? So far I have: the house name/frag name, the notes as described by the perfumer, my personal impressions and comments, a numerical rating,...

Meetup #2 - October?
Hello everyone! And welcome to the new members! When do we want to do our next meetup? My wife and I will be out of the country for two weeks in the back half of September but will probably have a few new things to share after our return. Does October work for people to do another meetup? If so, what day? I thought Saturday afternoon was nice and also liked our Art Hill location last time but we could switch it up if we want. Share your thoughts!

Fzotic- Corpse Reviver
With its reputation as a polarizing fragrance, we sampled Fzotic's Corpse Reviver over a few days. TBF, I went into it not loving the combination of notes even before opening the vial. From Fzotic: Blood orange, camphor, whiskey, rosemary, tagetes, dried fruit, anise, cypress, dark chocolate, vanilla, civet. S. went into this without preconceived notions, so i had him try it first. His first reaction: Licorice and spice. Two of the trhings we both like. On drydown, spice remained and chocolate developed. The initial brightness that led to the immediate 'licorice' impression settled in. On me, it was a little...

Bad Decisions.
Had a hip replacement Tuesday, 8/25. (Not elderly; it happens, kids.). Stayed overnight because of some other stuff that makes the ortho bros twitchy, including full anesthesia instead of a nerve block. Fragrance? I'M GETTING THERE. But at that point it was chlorhexidine all the way, baby. Guess after my husband left, I learned Dolly Parton died. He knew better than to tell me. On the car ride home, i checked email. Order confirmations had been flowing All. Night. Even a shipping notification was already in the works. Le Labo. (The full Classics discovery set + Destination series; WTH?). Beaufort'...
Sevenstars 🤣 things happen when under the influence. But you would've been set until next Spring probably if they did all get shipped. 😏 hope you have a speedy recovery! Read all 3 replies

👋 hi!! Found you guys via Reddit
I didn't know there was a community forming. When I saw the post on the St. Louis subreddit, I had a brain freeze. I thought it was someone in the perfume subreddit asking about shops in St. Louis and not vice versa. 😵‍💫 Anyways, my name's Mary. I've been into fragrances for 15 years. I love and will smell them all (celebrity, designer, niche, etc)! I also enjoy mixing up my fragrances with essential oils and cosplaying as a mad scientist 🧪. I was actually thinking that might be a fun meet up where we bring fragrances that are low stakes to tinker with. Currently testing out the Glossier...

Thanks for coming to our first meetup!
Thank you everyone for attending the meetup! It was lovely finally having some folks IRL to really nerd out with and to make some trades with. Hopefully we'll meet again soon (maybe in a month or two, though my wife and I will be out for a few weeks in Sept so two months may be better, plus allows for more time to collect things and work through our collections). Feel free to talk about future ideas if you have any or maybe what your favorite sniffs of the day were.
starstar I will put that on my big tea list! So far the winners for me are D'Annam's Pomelo Oolong and Molecule No 1 + Black Tea. Booonbooon I appreciate the offer but I got to try Wulong... Read all 8 replies

Meetup reminder - 8/15 Art Hill 2:00PM
Hey y'all, just a quick reminder we are planning on meeting up at Art Hill at 2:00pm this Saturday! bring samples and things you want to swap or let people sniff. chairs could be nice too if you have (i do not lol but I have a picnic blanket my wife and I can use). Excited to see you all there! I'll include a few bottles that I may be willing to trade to see if there's any specific interest in these bottles (and we can trade IRL) EDIT: Let's try and meet at 2, if everyone's cool with that

Interesting Layering Combinations?
I've never really layered scents before, but after seeing so much about it online, it got me curious to try it out. So while I've been on vacation the last week, I brought just a couple of fragrances with me and has given me good cause to get creative. I just combined two scents that I've never really thought about going together before, and it has given me so much dopamine. I first put on a realistic lavender fragranced body lotion, and then sprayed Demeter's marshmallow with it. I feel like I'm floating around and cocooned in an airy cloud. It smells so good that it's broken my brain a little....

Meetup/Swap Event - August 15th @ Art Hill, 2:00PM
Hey everyone! Since a few of us here were talking about a potential meetup I figured we might as well just put something on the calendar and see what we can get going for our first meetup. Just based on the date and location discussed in the previous thread, let's try for August 15th at Art Hill. Maybe time-wise we can aim for 2:00 or so? Who all is interested? Feel free to invite friends who may be interested, the more the merrier. We can bring samples and trade em. If anyone has tester strips or decant bottles that could be nice to bring and we can do some sniffing and testing and trading. Share...

Trade/purchase requests
Trades/Swaps
I have a 9ml/.30 fl oz Tam Dao Diptyque decant minus a couple of test sprays that for some reason isn't enchanting me as much as I had hoped. Idk if anyone here is interested in swapping for another 30ml of some sort or a handful of samples? It seems like such a small swap to ship somewhere so I hoped someone local may be interested. I also have a Vera Wang 30ml to swap but that seems less desirable since it's not niche.
booonbooon yeah just lmk! if we do end up doing this meetup we can definitely trade there Read all 9 replies

HI :)
Hi everyone, my name's Kim. I'm based in St. Louis and currently developing an my independent fragrance brand called AERO CODE. I'm in the early stages of building my debut scent and am looking to connect with anyone familiar with niche perfumery, fragrance development, or independent perfumers. I'd also love any recommendations for perfumers you've had positive experiences with. Looking forward to connecting with fellow fragrance enthusiasts!
aerocode No worries at all! Just thought I'd share. I appreciate the warm welcome and space you've created for fragrance enthusiasts. Read all 2 replies

Field Theory
I think it was one of you who mentioned Field Theory on my reddit post: wow! I finally visited and that store is awesome. A lot of things that are kind of already my aesthetic paired with things that I definitely know could be adapted into my vibe at some point in the future lol. It's hipster for sure but a particular kind of 2026 outdoorsy hipster that I find cool and kinda endearing. But most importantly, the fragrances, wow! The only store I've seen selling "actual" (read: not luxury brand) niche fragrances. There was some cool stuff there and I know I'll need to be back soon to try the rest....

Welcome!
The communities feature is officially active just the day after I try and recruit people to join this group. Welcome! I hope this can be a good place to meet others in the area, advertise in person events, and in general grow the St. Louis fragrance community. Be sure to subscribe to the group since notifications on Parfumo are sometimes weird. What's everyone wearing this wonderful morning? Gonna probably test Bois Impérial Eau de Parfum today.
booonbooon that sounds cool! looks like it's not been added here yet, there's a way to submit it through the research tab if you want though it's a bit convoluted lol Read all 2 replies
