...@KathrynA66 I'm so sorry you experienced a heart attack but so glad and relieved to hear you're on the mend.  Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge; you are saving lives!  My mom had a few heart attacks, and she complained of extreme nausea during the first one.  I'm always checking in on my heart given my mother's history.  I agree with you, we all need to have our annual exams and blood work.

...CocopahExciter76I'm not as adventurous with my perfumes but I layer my perfumes with scented lotions, which is the same principle. One of my favorite combos was Embrace - Rose Buds and Vanilla Eau de Toilette lotion with Les Élixirs Charnels - Gourmand Coquin. It's delightful!Hi,is it true that cream+perfume increases longevity?I've found it to be true for me. Sometimes I swipe on a little Vaseline where I want to spray a weaker perfume.

...I love Shalimar Eau de Parfum but Shalimar Parfum Initial and Eau de Shalimar are my true loves.

...It happens a lot. The last two for me were Shalimar Philtre de Parfum and Sotto la Luna - Tuberose.

...Hi!Wow, this community is really phenomenal and so incredibly supportive.  I can't really add anything that hasn't already been said.  I'm sure someone will think of something helpful I hadn't even thought of.Welcome to Parfumo!

...I'll have to ask my brother what he wears when he performs (https://m.facebook.com/apofab6...).

...Great topic!There are many fragrances I started off disliking but grew to love. The biggest "hate to absolute love" for me was Shalimar Parfum Initial. I smelled it everywhere. At the time I thought I hated patchouli in perfume. Then one afternoon, a woman standing next to me at ULTA doused herself in it. She got me pretty good with several residual sprays. I couldn't wash it off so I told myself to just bear with it till I got home. But oh my, how it blossomed. After that I was hooked. I ran out and bought the biggest bottle. I haven't been without a bottle since then.

...I found a new bottke of Terracotta Le Parfum that was too good to pass up. Given my insane "need" for backups, and it's one of my favorites, i couldn't resist.

...I'm so happy to see y'all over here!

...I felt this way about 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.

...Encens Mythique and "Mahora | Guerlain"

...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 is the ultimate plastic dolly scent in my collection). I'm thinking something woolen and cozy? I'd start with Fuzzy 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. I always like to talk perfume and introduce others to the joy of indies, so please feel free to hit me up :) Hi Bree!!!!

...I feel like you need a classic like Habit Rouge Eau de Toilette or Le Mâle Eau de Toilette. Is that something you would be open to try?

...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.

...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?
