Your over-hyped duds?
by Exciter76 | Perfume Discussions
...I felt this way about Not a Perfume (Eau de Parfum)Not a Perfume Eau de Parfum and all other JHAG fragrances I've tried. There's something off-putting about their offerings. I dont know what it is but the dislike is strong.

New Stuffed Animal Scent
by Exciter76 | Perfume Recommendations
...Ummm, I'd say your request is crazy except people are often looking for perfumes that smell of a doll's head (I'm guilty—Black Pearls (Eau de Parfum)Black Pearls Eau de Parfum is the ultimate plastic dolly scent in my collection). I'm thinking something woolen and cozy? I'd start with Fuzzy SweaterFuzzy Sweater. I'm curious what other suggestions are out there. ❤

...Miss13ScentHello everyone! I am a recent Fragrantica exile known as unearthlyapothecary on that site. My passions are writing and perfume. I’ve been collecting perfume for about 6 years now. In the past few, I have moved away from the mainstream and primarily enjoy indie brands.

Dior Sauvage, extremly overrated. Get over it.
by Exciter76 | Perfume Discussions
...Jak3ceyThat’s a good point. I agree that’s more of a review topic, but I wanted to talk to someone about it and see If I’m the only one out there who thinks in such way. And as you said I’m also very tired of the scent itself. I’d recommend something yet fruity different from sauvage like Lamar by Kajal. You are certainly not alone. I liked it when it was first released but I smelled it everywhere. At every bar and nightclub, at the bank, in every store... Olfactory fatigue would be an understatement. I'm so over it now.

by Exciter76 | Perfume Discussions
...Are you venting or were you looking to have a discussion? I know for some people it is nice and more easily accessible. Is there a scent you'd recommend as an alternative? Do you have a personal favorite?

Nautica Voyage Lasts for a hour.
by Exciter76 | Perfume Discussions
...I had My VoyageMy Voyage long ago. It smelled lovely but it was fleeting so I swapped it away. I think longevity is flawed with regards to Nautica fragrances.

The Original Vanilla Perfume Oil from The Body Shop (90‘s)
by Exciter76 | Perfumes & Brands
...Oh gosh, it's been ages since I sniffed it in its original form. I had a flashback when I picked up Vanilla MuskVanilla Musk. The opening took me back to the Body Shop's Vanilla oil but the drydown is different. If you enjoy clean white musk then this is the one to try. Just know it is close (to my nose) but no cigar.

"Imagined" notes
Ylang ylang = banana candy‽
...I get a strong banana taffy note from Fleurs des CaraïbesFleurs des Caraïbes, likely from the ylang ylang. I am addicted to that banana candy scent but I know it can be very polarizing.

Your favorite strawberry scents?
Kyse Perfumes & Ganache Parfums
...I must confess, I haven't tried Sérénade aux FraisesSérénade aux Fraises but I've yet to find a Kyse Perfume fragrance I didn't enjoy. A 60ml bottle will set you back $61, which, compared to Fraaagola SaalaaataFraaagola Saalaaata (100ml at $160), is a steal. There was something about Fraaagola SaalaaataFraaagola Saalaaata I found lackluster. Not bad, just not quite up to the hype. I'm going to throw out another suggestion that isn't available at this point in time. Cheat DayCheat Day is one of my favorite strawberries-and-more scents. It reminds me a lot of Rebelle (Eau de Parfum)Rebelle Eau de Parfum but with authentic ingredients (by the way, Rebelle (Eau de Parfum)Rebelle Eau de Parfum isn't a bad strawberry but I found it too artificial for my taste). Presently, it's not for available on Ganache's website but knowing Jarek, the perfumer, it will be at some point soon. He's rolled out some oldies-but-goodies already; the reintroduction of Cheat DayCheat Day is only a matter of time. The most expensive bottle is 100ml at $85. I think he sells the classics for remarkably less. Last but not least there's always Strawberry / Fraise (Eau de Toilette)Strawberry Eau de Toilette, a simple, affordable strawberry. I prefer wearing the body butter over the edt but it will do in a pinch.Best of luck in your search! Let us know what you find. :)
