Lemon Gourmand with no Incence

Scentedbyte | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre

... "Chiffon (Eau de Parfum) | Solstice Scents" I loveeee lemon gourmands and this one is my all time favorite! It's a fluffy, sweet beauty! It gets a bit sweeter as it sits on your skin. "Casamorati - Lira (Eau de Parfum) | Xerjoff" and "Hufflepuff | House of Sillage" are two other great lemon gourmands that would be perfect for the cold weather. "Chelsea Morning (Perfume) | Lush" is another great pick for the cold weather. It smells like Super Milk and butterscotch. I have other lemon gourmand recommendations but they're more summery and lemonade like.

Best artisinal tobacco fragrance?

Scentedbyte | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre

... "Side Effect | Initio" fits the bill. It's a beautiful, slightly sweet tobacco scent.

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

Scentedbyte | Perfumes & Brands

... I've always enjoyed perfumes and prior to getting my first bottle I would buy Victoria Secret's body sprays and scented lotions. I then got a fragrance set of "Nude (Eau de Parfum) | Rihanna" and treasured each item in the set (lotion, body wash, and perfume) until the lost drop/spray. I got different perfumes throughout the years but it wasn't until I got "Santal 33 (Eau de Parfum) | Le Labo" back in 2018 or 2019 that I started exploring niche perfumes. Though the real gateway perfume for me was "Good Girl (Eau de Parfum) | Carolina Herrera" , that I got a few years before I got Santal 33. I would get so many compliments while wearing Good Girl that it made me realize just how much of a statement piece perfume was/is. It would break the ice with strangers and at times lead to other interesting conversations. 🙂

Your best blindbuys

Scentedbyte | Perfume Discussions

... "Cedro di Diamante | Perris Monte Carlo" This smells like sugary lemonade with a nice soft and woody base! "Mrs Gloss's Lemon Sherbet (Eau de Parfum) | 4160 Tuesdays" This is another lemonade perfume but it smells different to the previous one, this one smells fizzy and the marshmallow note shines through beautifully "Tihota | Indult" This is just the best plain vanilla perfume I've smelled. It almost smells like marshmallows on my skin. "Biancolatte | Zeromolecole" I hate Giardini Toscana's Bianco Latte but love Zeromolecole's! This smells like cotton candy and vanilla! Similar to "Vanille | Outremer / L'Aromarine" but much more refined. "Jardin de l'Orangerie | Dries Van Noten" This is my absolute favorite orange blossom perfume ever. I use to not be the biggest fan of florals but this and "Blanche Bête | Liquides Imaginaires" completely changed that mindset for me. I see many people describe Jardin as being similar to other orange blossom and white floral based perfumes and I have to disagree. It's so beautiful and that milky note is gorgeous and really smooths out the fragrance really well.

Which notes do you avoid?

Scentedbyte | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre

... Almond. I smelled it in Casamorati's Italica and it made me so nauseous. It was also a prominent note in an indie pistachio perfume I bought and it also made me nauseous. None of the other notes in these perfumes bother me so I narrowed my hatred disliking to the almond notes. I also dislike most rose notes in perfumes. I have yet to find a rose note that smells like a fresh, sweet red rose. In perfume they tend to smell very mature/antique.

Lavender and milk

Scentedbyte | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre

... Sniffwhiff I've never smelled London Fog by Brandt, but I will second the suggestion above and say Moon Magic by Sorce. I think it leans more lavender than vanilla, and don't find it to be overly sweet. You mentioned you wanted a creamy lavender: personally, I don't find it very creamy. It was quite powdery on me but maybe it will react differently on your skin. Also adding a slight correction to the above post: there's no marshmallow, cookie butter, or Tahitian vanilla in Moon Magic (those last three notes are in the aforementioned Snow Moon Magic , which I haven't tried). And lastly, I'll add that Sorce offers 1 mL oil samples and 2 mL spray samples on their website. They often have long wait times, though. Ajevie.com also sells some samples, although I've never ordered from them so can't say if the wait time is less. EDIT: I see that you're in the UK. I don't know if Sorce ships internationally (they're US based), but Ajevie ships to the UK. And sorry if this was way too much info; I am an excessively thorough person. 😅 @Sniffwhiff Good catch! I accidentally copied the notes of Snow Moon Magic, I've gone ahead and edited them.

Lavender and milk

Scentedbyte | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre

... Moon Magic by Sorce (Sorcellerie Apothecary)! It tends to get overshadowed by another popular variant of it called Snow Moon Magic (chai spices note is most prominent), since a lot of people aren't a fan of the prominent lavender note in Moon Magic. Moon Magic's **corrected** notes: Lavender sugar, Tonka bean, chai spices, vanilla steamed milk, Cashmeran, Ambroxan, crystals charged by the moonlight Though it sounds like it's going to be overly sweet, it is not. It smells mostly of lavender milk with a slight sweetness that can be worn throughout the year. I think Snow Moon Magic is sweeter.

Lemon or orange gourmand recommendations

Scentedbyte | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre

... Gourmandgrl @gythia totally agree with you! Some Demeter colognes actually last a decent amount of time, but many do not. I think their appeal is more in the novelty of how realistic their fragrances are, and how unique some of them can be (like "Glue (Cologne) | Demeter Fragrance Library / The Library Of Fragrance" and "Funeral Home (Cologne) | Demeter Fragrance Library / The Library Of Fragrance") - rather than longevity. I personally love them. @Scentedbyte highly recommend ordering samples from Demeter's site if you're concerned about longevity, since the samples are very cheap! More citrus gourmands to add to your list: "Orange Cream Pop / Orange Cremecicle (Cologne) | Demeter Fragrance Library / The Library Of Fragrance" - photorealistic orange creamsicle "Melted Popsicle. | Colornoise" / "Orange Ice Cream | Colornoise" (they are the same fragrance) "Bitter Orange & Chocolate | Jo Malone" - Terry's orange-flavored chocolate "citrus" slices "Meringue Magique | Le Monde Gourmand" - chocolate-covered orange jelly sticks I've drafted a blog post of gourmand lemons, including some not yet mentioned in comments above - so I'll share that soon. But since you said you're also interested in sweet (not necessarily gourmand), here are a few more that are still sweet but lean "refreshing" for warmer weather: Sweet Citrus Scents for Summer Hope you have fun trying all the scents everyone has shared! 😊🍊🍋 Thank you for these wonderful recommendations! I just read over your Sweet Citrus blog and became intrigued by Nest's Seville Orange perfume oil, though I see it doesn't last long ): Also, I'll be on the lookout for your lemon gourmand blog post! You could also tag me here once you publish it if you want/are able to! @Gourmandgrl I'm always on the lookout for great citrus scents 🍊🍰🍦 and yes I have a long list of samples to buy now lol!

... gythia Tauer Orange Star, Lemon Meringue by Demeter I'll definitely check out Orange Star! How's the longevity on Demeter's Lemon Meringue? It sounds awesome, but I've seen many reviews that state that Demeter fragrances don't last very long. @gythia

Delicate white floral fragrances y’all recommend?

Scentedbyte | Perfume Recommendations

... "Jardin de l'Orangerie | Dries Van Noten" I recently got it and have been thoroughly enjoying it! Keep in mind I don't own a lot of prominent floral perfumes so this may not be "unique" to those who have smelled a lot of orange blossom perfumes. And another beautiful milky, sweet, white floral is "Blanche Bête | Liquides Imaginaires" Both scents are delicate

Fragrance Compliments

Scentedbyte | Perfume Discussions

... I receive a lot of compliments when wearing certain perfumes for example Biancolatte by Zeromolecole, Soie Malaquais by Dries Van Noten or Vanille de Tahiti by Perris Monte Carlo. Other times I don't receive any at all, but I know I smell good, which is what matters most to me. I think the location you're in and the amount you've sprayed on can lead to not receiving any compliments. If you hardly spray anything on or your perfume is a skin scent then no one but you is going to be able to smell it. If you're at work you may smell good to others but your co-workers may think it's unprofessional to comment on it unless you both are very close. Depending on the situation I will compliment others if they smell really good, but there are times when I'm not able to. For example, during a movie I sat next to a man who smelled amazing, but I didn't feel like telling him that during that scenario. I looked through your collection and you've got some nice stuff. I'm sure others have thought you smelled nice but were maybe too shy to tell you.

Have you ever 'dreamed' a scent??

... I've never dreamt of a scent I owned but I did recently dream about two blind buys that I was impatiently waiting for. Unfortunately they didn't smell as good as they did in my dreams. 😪

Lemon or orange gourmand recommendations

Scentedbyte | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre

... Looking to add yet another citrus gourmand to my collection and would love some recommendations! It doesn't necessarily have to be gourmand but must have a bit of sweetness. 😁🍊🍋 For reference I already own the following: Xerjoff's Lira Solstice Scent's Chiffon CJ Scents Lemonilla Akro's Bake Dries Van Noten's Jardin de l'Orangerie (not gourmand but it is sweet) Lush's Chelsea Morning Forvr Mood's Hard to Get 4160 Tuesday's Lemon Sherbet I've tested D&G's Devotion which I hated because it smelled like a citrus household cleaning product, but did enjoy Devotion Intense. I also owned and threw away Al Rehab's Soft because it smelled like a toilet bowl cleaner, unfortunately. I also didn't like Kerosene's Unknown Pleasures.
