Celeb fragrances: what are your favs and why?

BabyBlueBR3 | Perfumes & Brands

... Oh, wow: I LOVED WHAT YOU WROTE! Some celebrity perfumes, more in the U.S. region, are seen many times as something "whatever" or even "trash". Yes some are! But others deserve their "crown". My favorites are: "Fantasy (Eau de Parfum) | Britney Spears" / No introduction, this one is world-famous one! 👏🏻👏🏻 Amazing white-chocolate and chantilly-cupcake scent with fruits-citruses! Sexy, grown up and feverous! It is funny because it's mainly marketed at young girls. Lol. Newer versions are less dense, more sour and lighters. So sad this reformulation! In my country, Brazil, we had this very similiar scent, that is: "Coffee Woman Seduction | O Boticário", but it was diluted as hell in the last years. Typical cynical and wrong thing of O Boticário to do! "Paris Hilton (Eau de Parfum) | Paris Hilton" / It used to be easier to find, now it's a little more difficult and expensive; like a few Paris Hilton perfumes in the last years! But it smells mainly like a aquatic-fresh-floral scent. I used to LUV this one! Similiar to "Ralph | Ralph Lauren", but less expensive. "Midnight Heat | Beyoncé" / Tropical fruits with night blooms. Bey DISCONTINUED her perfume line with Coty. 😂 "Viva La Juicy Noir | Juicy Couture" / *Not a celeb brand, but fits into it! Lol.* Lovely moderated red berries with a fava tonka-vanilla touch. Sadly a very light and weak scent, like ANY VLJ perfume. The price is way too expensive for the performance of the fragrance. Not worth it!

More information: YSL's vintage Opium line by L'Oréal

BabyBlueBR3 | Perfumes & Brands

... For the past few years, the vintage Opium line, reads: "Opium (2009) (Eau de Toilette) | Yves Saint Laurent" / "Opium (2009) (Eau de Parfum) | Yves Saint Laurent" versions, by Yves Saint Laurent has been gradually disappearing from the perfume market, only being sold in France and a few other parts of Europe. I wonder what's happening to the line, which I used to find "quite easily" on certain U.S. perfume websites. Does anyone know if the line is being discontinued, especially the "Opium (2009) (Eau de Parfum) | Yves Saint Laurent", a version I like more. I emailed L'Oréal Luxe, but they don't respond, and if they do, they're incoherent and don't provide any definitive information! What a stress. If anyone knows more, information and details on what's in happening, that would be greatly appreciated. Xx

... JuliaGhoulia I love rose and iris. "L'Ombre dans L'Eau (Eau de Toilette) | Diptyque" and "Eau Capitale (Eau de Parfum) | Diptyque" are my favorite roses. "Hiris | Hermès", "L'Iris | Santa Maria Novella" , and "Lunar Dust | Mabelle O'Rama" are my favorite irises. And my favorite mixed bouquet is "L'Instant de Guerlain (Eau de Parfum) | Guerlain" . A lot of out-of-the-radar and "niche" scents! I already know "L'Instant de Guerlain (Eau de Parfum) | Guerlain". It smells cute.

... DRKSHDW @BabyBlueBR3 I’m enjoying my decant of Donna Margherita. I’ve seen it at discounters for around $100–150, which is about the average price... To my nose, it’s a slightly green, creamy tuberose. Yes, I also think Coco Mademoiselle fits into the neo-chypre or 'fruitchouli' category. I also find Coco Mademoiselle a neo-chypre. By the way, I love the word *neo-chypre*. In my country, Brazil, eco-company Natura duped in a more youthful way the smell of CocoMad, in case the "Coco Mademoiselle (Eau de Toilette) | Chanel" version, on "Luna | Natura". Smells so cool.

... Sharkington I love florals, so it's hard to choose a single favorite. I think white florals are my favorite type, so here are some of my favorites in that category: "Moon Bloom | Hiram Green" "Monyette Paris | Monyette" "Narcotic V. / Narcotic Venus (Extrait de Parfum) | Nasomatto" "Fleur d'Oranger Intense | Fragonard" "Fl orence (Eau de Parfum) | Tocca" "La Chasse aux Papillons (Eau de Toilette) | L'Artisan Parfumeur" "Joyeuse Tubéreuse | Guerlain" "Datura noir (Eau de Parfum) | Serge Lutens" I also really like "Fracas (Eau de Parfum) | Robert Piguet" , as well, but I don't have it yet. It's on my wishlist, though. And there are many more I love in other floral categories, but I'll stop here for now. :) Some cool choices. I want one day, who knows, to test "Datura noir (Eau de Parfum) | Serge Lutens"; I love the smell of the Datura flower, alarmingly that is a dangerous / poisonous flower. Eve n thought I tend to dislike the scents of Serge Lutens because they are too exquisite and estrange smelling.

... Ursaw For neroli/orange blossom: "Solo Vulcan | Loewe", "Solo Atlas | Loewe" and "Agua Drop | Loewe". For mimosa and violets: "Earth | Loewe". For rose: "Concrete | Comme des Garçons". For jasmine: "Jasmin et Cigarette | Etat Libre d'Orange". Other florals, uncategorized, yet beloved nonetheless: "Divin'Enfant | Etat Libre d'Orange", "Comme des Garçons 2 | Comme des Garçons", "Le perce-vent | Serge Lutens", "né il giorno né l'ora | Filippo Sorcinelli". Very exquisite choices. I only know "Jasmin et Cigarette | Etat Libre d'Orange" that is quite interesting despite the disgusting name (I don't like cigarettes / tobacco).

What's the fragrance that got you into this hobby?

BabyBlueBR3 | Perfumes & Brands

... I think *FOR ME* the whole journey to go study, how to get and finally using the scent started with "Far Away (Eau de Parfum) | Avon" and "Jasmin Noir (Eau de Parfum) | Bvlgari". The only problem sometimes it's the expensive and changing price and the hardness to buy a bottle. But, "I still standing" on the whole journey of perfumes! Lol.

Your Favorite Chypre Perfumes

BabyBlueBR3 | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre

... Oh wow, I luv chypres! I think this genre of fragrances has expanded and have been very molded in the last years! But my favorites are: 1 - "Coco Mademoiselle (Eau de Toilette) | Chanel" PS: A heel of example on how I like a chypre to be! 2 - "Luna | Natura" PS: Classic perfume of Brazil by eco-company Natura; lovely, jasmine-full in a youth way, airy-ozonic violets and veeeery similiar to "Coco Mademoiselle (Eau de Toilette) | Chanel"! LOL. 3 - "Chypre / Le Chypre (Eau de Toilette) | Coty" Mr. Coty himself, the legend, invented the French chypre, and for me, it's how a chypre should be! The new version, "Aristo Chypre | Infiniment Coty Paris", is so cool, but too expensive and hard to get / buy. Sadly, because I wanted to try. 4 - "Beautiful (Eau de Parfum) | Estēe Lauder" Kinda greenish-mossy chypre, but obviously the flowers are the highlight! Timeless and iconic.

Which notes do you avoid?

BabyBlueBR3 | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre

... Oh wow, this is a hell of talk. Lol. But I super avoid and completely dislike: MUSK, ORANGE BLOSSOM (!), LAVENDER, WOODS, TOO CITRUSE THINGS, HEAVY MALE MACHO-SCENTS, TOO GREEN / HERBAL, HEAVY OUD, ALCOHOL STUFF; RUM, COGNAC, ETC..., AND CINNAMON IN INTENSENESS. There are some other notes, but usually these are the ones I don't like at all!

Best animalic fragrances

BabyBlueBR3 | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre

... I also find "Opium (2009) (Eau de Parfum) | Yves Saint Laurent" kinda animalic, but in a lightly way. Obviously the fragrance of Opium is very incensed, distinctively sweet and with spices, but not in a temper and peppery way. LOL. So on, "Youth-Dew (Eau de Parfum) | Estēe Lauder" and "Cinnabar (2015) | Estēe Lauder", who are the "inspiration" to Opium, tend to be also light animalic too!

Best animalic fragrances

BabyBlueBR3 | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre

... BottledUp "Salome | Papillon Artisan Perfumes" + maybe you could order a sample from Papilion's website? "Original Musk Blend No. 1 | Kiehl's" + gorgeous musk and aldehydes with a hint of florals (I would recommend the spray over the oil, the oil was much more 'clean' on my skin). "Shalimar (Eau de Parfum) | Guerlain" the edp for shalimar is very animalic. I would definitely recommend trying it, if you can. "Youth-Dew (Eau de Parfum) | Estēe Lauder" to me is somewhat similar to Salome (Salome is not as spicy and more animalic, Youth Dew is much much spicier and not as animalic). But I would imagine it would be easier to sample in person and it's very affordable. I would actually recommend the bath oil over the spray, as the spray is just crazy strong. "Magie (2005) (Eau de Parfum) | Lancôme" A bit harder to find, but it can be found for decent prices over here. There are still 15ml splash bottles around, some are in coffrets with a couple other scents from this same collection. An animalic jasmine and violet scent. "Dolce & Gabbana (1992) (Eau de Toilette) | Dolce & Gabbana" If you can find this, I'd recommend a bottle made in France or Italy. I have a new bottle made in Italy. Starts very animalic and becomes cleaner the longer it's worn. Big aldehydic floral. Amazing choices of you! I luv "Shalimar (Eau de Parfum) | Guerlain" and some of the Shalimar line flankers and I also like "Dolce & Gabbana (1992) (Eau de Toilette) | Dolce & Gabbana", kinda soapy, kinda dry, but still I adore this fragrance, mainly because it was a favorite smell of Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger in past times.

... Some of you really like out-of-the-radar and esquisite niche stuff. Lol. But as a light lover of animalic notes, mainly synthetic of good quality and cruelty-free (!!!!), I adore "Animale (Eau de Parfum) | Animale", vintage, chypre-mossy with animalic notes and "Sondos / سندس | Lattafa", arabic scent, sweet in a "La Vie est Belle L'Eau de Parfum | Lancôme" way and a light animalic base.
