Gold

Seltzerpapi | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre

... Now that summer is here in the northern hemisphere I wanted to revisit this and thank @Johnjssmith for the "Grand Soir | Maison Francis Kurkdjian" recommendation. It smells gold to me and I love the way it performs in hot, humid weather. @DRKSHDW I enjoyed "Sunshine Woman | Amouage" quite a bit but ultimately decided it wasn't quite right for me. One of the comments I read about it on that other awful website in reviews is that many people thought it smelled like cigarette smoke, which I didn't get at all. I mean, if cigarettes smelled that that perfume I wouldn't mind people smoking around me. LOL

Your best blindbuys

Seltzerpapi | Perfume Discussions

... Best blind buy for me was "Nitesurf Neroli | Régime des Fleurs". This is the smell of comfortably hot and humid summer nights to me. I love it so much and it tends to garner compliments. Worst was "Ottoman Empire Part II (Extrait de Parfum) | Areej Le Doré" which smells like nothing but cinnamon on my skin.

Which notes do you avoid?

Seltzerpapi | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre

... If I see freesia or peony in the list of notes, I'm immediately out. Lavender is a close runner-up. Don't get me wrong, I like the smell of actual lavender but not in my perfumes. Also mint. To me it always smells like someone sprayed perfume on my toothpaste.

What size bottles to buy?

Seltzerpapi | Perfume Discussions

... I'd actually say 50ml or smaller. My ADHD means I'm often tired of a fragrance long before I'm through a full bottle. I'm very grateful more houses/companies are selling 10ml sprays.

Gold

Seltzerpapi | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre

... Thank you all for your replies! This conversation has turned out to be more interesting than I anticipated. I will say that I view amber and gold as two different colors and also two different emotions. Likely because I have a background in creative work and probably hyper-segment colors as compared to the average person. I've ordered samples of "Sunshine Woman | Amouage" (I'm a big Amouage fan) and "Grand Soir | Maison Francis Kurkdjian" (I'm not usually a FK fan) and am very curious to see what my nose tells me when they arrive!

Gold

Seltzerpapi | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre

... I'm always intrigued by how we associate colors with fragrances. Like, bubble gum smells pink . It doesn't smell like anything else but pink. Along those lines, I'm particularly fascinated by the way gold is associated with fragrance — whether it's gold, the metal, golden sunlight, golden summer skin. I've tried a few that claim to represent gold but I've only found one that's really done it for me so far. "Gold+ | Commodity" I really enjoy but would love to find more. So I'd like to hear your thoughts and suggestions on the topic.

Seeking Fragrances Replicating Realistic Male Body Odors

Seltzerpapi | Perfume Recommendations

... @DrCaligari you'd probably like "Dodo (2020) | Zoologist" (has to be the 2020 edition). It smells exactly like my boyfriend's BO so much so, that I'll only wear it at home And you'd probably enjoy all of Marlou's fragrances. They're specifically designed to be stylized versions of human body smells. "Ambilux / 50 ml d'Ambiguïté | Marlou" "Carnicure / L'Animal Sauvage | Marlou" "Poudrextase | Marlou" "Corpalium | Marlou"

Perfume oil / attar recommendations

Seltzerpapi | Perfume Recommendations

... Updating this in the event anyone else wants recommendations on the topic in the future. Today I received "Raven | Fvith", which I enjoy a lot. And also "Sandalwood Dreams | Eden Botanicals" which smells fantastic but I think the sillage might be too intimate for me. And also Eden Botanicals Amber Essence oil (not in the database yet), which is outrageously good, especially for the price.

Celeb fragrances: what are your favs and why?

Seltzerpapi | Perfumes & Brands

... The impression I get from most online perfume discussion forums is that celebrity fragrances are looked down upon, seen as juvenile, seen as cash grabs, and deserve to mocked. But if I like the way it smells and the way I feel when I wear it, I don't care where it's from or whose name is on the bottle. Yes, I own and wear several fragrances that cost upwards of $200 for a bottle. But I also own several celeb fragrances that cost under $30 for a bottle. AND there are a couple of those that consistently get more positive commentary than the pricey and/or niche fragrances I own. The ones I own that consistently get positive comments are by a celebrity that I don't care for. And when I'm asked what I'm wearing, nearly everyone is shocked when I tell them. They're "Night Iris | KKW Fragrance / Kim Kardashian" and "Olive | KKW Fragrance / Kim Kardashian". What do I like about them? I love the bottles. Honestly, that's what made me purchase them. Both have decent enough longevity, about 4-6 hours, so they're not a big commitment. They both have reasonably small sillage so they're an easy grab when I'm headed to any sort of event that's in close quarters. And they're surprisingly well done. Both are mainstream enough that they're not going to offend anyone, but also have just enough unexpected elements that I don't smell like everyone else in the room. So what's your experience on the subject? Do you have any favorite celeb fragrances? And if so, what do you love about them?

Perfume oil / attar recommendations

Seltzerpapi | Perfume Recommendations

... @DRKSHDW thanks for the suggestions! I like a few of DS&Durga's fragrances but none of them are in oil format. (Yet, I'd assume ✨🤞🏼✨) Definitely giving "No.04 - Bois de Balincourt (Eau de Parfum) | Maison Louis Marie" a go.

Perfume oil / attar recommendations

Seltzerpapi | Perfume Recommendations

... Hello Parfumo, I've got a new job which requires a minimum of 3 days in the office. I want to continue to wear fragrances but don't want to fume out my coworkers so I'm looking for perfume oil and/or attar recommendations. I've already begun exploring some options and have found the oils from Riddle to be too reserved and without enough longevity for me. From Fvith, I very much love "October | Fvith" and have Raven on the way. And I've enjoyed two of the three oils I've tried from Abu Zari (Hindi Sultan and Ebony Flower). Within reason, I'd say price isn't a barrier for me, though I'd really prefer to keep the cost between $50 - $100. Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

Notes I can’t distinguish

Seltzerpapi | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre

... @Ceesie during quarantine I passed a lot of the time by ordering raw perfume materials and smelling them, so I could better identify them in perfume compositions. If you're in the USA, Eden Botanicals is a great, affordable resource for this type of exploration.
