...Encens Mythique and "Mahora | Guerlain"
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 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. ❤

Do you keep backups?

...Exciter76,for some reason I ended with this bad habit too! Why do I seem to find more satisfaction from old discontinued perfumes than brand new releases? ...

Say hello and/or introduce yourself (if you like)
by Exciter76 | Parfumo Community
...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?

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.

Dior Sauvage, extremly overrated. Get over it.

...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 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.

Fragrances marketed to the opposite sex that you wear.
by Exciter76 | Perfume Discussions
...I'm obsessed with getting my hands on L'Homme Idéal Eau de Parfum. I have L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme Eau de Parfum, which is one of my favorite chocolate patchouli scents. Au Masculin Eau de Toilette, Blue Sugar, Vetiver Eau de Toilette and Habit Rouge Eau de Toilette are personal favorites.

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 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 Caraïbes, likely from the ylang ylang. I am addicted to that banana candy scent but I know it can be very polarizing.

Perfume Rookie Seeking Summer Fragrance
by Exciter76 | Perfume Recommendations
...How exciting! I think finding a perfume to celebrate your move is wonderful. Consider Bergamot, Jasmine & Labdanum (or anything, really) from Dame Perfumery Scottsdale. It's a superb indie/niche house that offers affordable high quality scents.

Your favorite strawberry scents?
by Exciter76 | Perfumes by Note, Accord, Genre
Kyse Perfumes & Ganache Parfums
...I must confess, I haven't tried Sérénade 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 Saalaaata (100ml at $160), is a steal. There was something about Fraaagola 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 Day is one of my favorite strawberries-and-more scents. It reminds me a lot of Rebelle Eau de Parfum but with authentic ingredients (by the way, 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 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 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. :)

Recommendations Please
by Exciter76 | Perfume Recommendations
...Does it have to be $200? If so consider Santal Royal Eau de Parfum. Occasionally it will come up on the grey market for under $200. If you don't mind picking up something surprisingly affordable yet satisfyingly fun to wear year-round, check out Al Sharquiah Perfume Oil. At worse it will set you back $8 (and I doubt you'll find it priced that high) but it smells way more niche than its price indicates. I love wearing Al Sharquiah Perfume Oil in the summer, especially when partaking in outdoor activities (sports events, concerts, backyard BBQs, amusement parks, et cetera).
