Perfume

^forgot to include cologne oops

I like the sweet stuff, but agree it can be too much- especially when it is so damn hot 🤢 I think u might like some of the bath and body works beachy mists. Some of those smell great imo lol!

Idk much about creed lol other than it is premium. At one point though I sort of looked down on cheap perfume and body mist and now I realize some of it is amazing lmao! One thing I've been seeing is it seems at every club at least one girl has Ariana Grande Cloud. It is supposed to smell good but I literally cant smell the stuff even if I spray and put my nose right there. I think something is wrong with my nose. I also couldn't smell some of those other ariana grande perfumes that are supposed to smell good lmao

Ye these days I tend to overspray because I dont give a flying fuck if a customer is worried about his wife finding out he is a whore LoL

That is true that often times scents smell different on the body than just sniffing a paper or the bottle.

All I care is that somebody smells good. I could care less if it was cheap or not. I will say though I don't have an experienced nose- I have noticed that there tend to be more luxury brand perfumes that last a long time, have a more complex smell, and tend to be less straight up sweet or straight up fruit than the cheap stuff. A lot of the cheap stuff smells good too though. And some cheap perfumes are real powerhouses- though I have found it is more common for the cheap stuff to have poor longevity- sorta like a body mist- with perhaps a slightly more complex smell. That to be is really the only time I think it was a total waste of money. I am not that picky though. On dudes at the club- I have noticed that some of the Giorgio Armani stuff smells good. I guess I will agree that the more important thing is impeccable hygiene, but I think that adding good smelling stuff on top of great hygiene is like the cherry on top. To each their own.

Idk why non subtle scents have to be masking something lol!

That's half the motivation to wear perfume right there. If some dumbass motherfucker tries to lick you, you want them to taste perfume lmao. The other half is to let his wife or coworkers or whoever know that he is a whore. :)

LOL I know ski was trolling with the vag comment. Fuck no in my case. But I have seen a lot of girls spray their vag with something in dressing rooms. I hope these are feminine sprays and not fragrance mists/perfumes, but somehow I think that area is sensitive and the best approach is to just have good hygiene. I feel like spraying fragrance there would make w/e bacterial infections or irritating worse, but Idk!

And anyways to you all commenting about women should be clean and not cover up with perfume or w/e... Here is the thing- if their pussy stinks then spraying something won't help- I really doubt it would. Also if someone stinks of sweat/body odor then perfume won't hide that lol. You will just smell the perfume plus the bad smells... So anyway I go back to my point of being clean and having fragrance is nice. I also understand the point of just being very clean w/ no fragrance, but that is boring.

I feel the need to update on this. I do not like anything by Ariana Grande except for REM, but that would probably definitely not be 1 for the club lmfao! I know everybody loves Cloud, but I just don't get it with that one nor any similar ones to it. Supposedly Cloud smells like Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 which is ultra premium, but if that is the case I don't want anything to do with it anyway cuz yuck. I never got to sniff the Givenchy Ange ou Demon as it isn't out anywhere I've been as a tester. I loved their Givenchy Irrestible EDP though and bought that. I liked everything I smelled by Givenchy at the store, but obvs not gonna go that crazy rn. I like Valentino Donna Born in Roma, but not enough to buy a full size bottle. I bought some cheapo cute travel size kit with a 0.5 oz and a 0.2 oz piece of this one for a bargain $38 at ulta. That is very cheap for premium brands samplers in bottles that look similar to the full size bottle, just smaller. I gotta say this one goes on strong, but it fades into an ultra weak scent so quickly. I did smell it on paper b4 buying obvs, but just didn't realize how fast this one fades into barely there. Also I saw a lot of people online are leaving reviews like it is floral or woody. I get nothing but straight up fruit from this one, at least on me. I am not crazy about Carolina Herrera Good Girl, but I love the bottle so I got the most adorable mini for only $15 lmfao. The heel is so cute, love it. YSL is consistently good imo. I haven't smelled anything of theirs that I hate. Jimmy Choo is probably my favorite. I keep buying their brand of perfume smh. I also really like Lancome perfumes. I like Victoria's Secret perfume in their Very Sexy line, and Bare is good too. Everything VS Bombshell literally smells like bug spray to me. yuck no thanks lmao. As far as the ***ultra cheap*** that I love. I would say I really love a lot of Victoria's Secret body mists and Bath and Body Works body mists. The celebrities imo with good cheapass perfume are Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, Mariah Carey. Other really nice ultra cheap stuff is Liz Clairborne and Target perfume lmao.

More like putting my addiction out there lmfao

I like Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming a lot and just bought that one. Miss Dior smells good too but the other one has more oomph to me haha. I don't care for the other Dior perfumes I've smelled though.

My new Lancome boxes got braille on them!!! Idk, but it made me so happy lol

I can also recommend Sofia Vergara for cheapies that smell good. Her stuff smells very classy, I'm shocked.

Where can I go and smell some Kanye to experience this for shits and giggles? I didn't even know he had fragrances. I need to resniff Ariana Grande's stuff. Everyone else seems to love all or most of her perfume except me. Maybe my nose is fucked up. Britney Spears perfume is decent quality like for longevity for cheap stuff. I guess I do not personally love her stuff, but I will give her credit that it is above avg. There is another one that is trending these days, that Billie Eilish in the funny boob looking bottle. Supposedly it smells really good, but I just didn't experience that with her stuff. There was one cheapie I wanted to buy for shits and giggles and cuz the name, but like looking at the notes, it didn't seem like anything I would enjoy. It's called Maroussia Slava Zaitsev. I am not a fan though of aldehydic or civet notes in perfume.

Heh I like sweet scents too, but gotta switch it up or I get bored. You can also go nose blind so that is a logical reason to have many perfumes to switch between. Totally trying to justify my addiction LOL.

That sounds like the way that dirt cheap women's clothes can still look cute, but for men it's different lmao.

Idk how I forgot to mention this but the varieties of Pink Sugars by Aquolina are a guilty pleasure for me, and they really really last and have good sillage as well. Obviously not appropriate in every single environment though.

I need to go find somewhere to sniff these Kanye and David Beckham Colognes lmfao. Idk though I guess it is all just our personal taste and how we perceive smells too. I like a lot of traditionally feminine smells of course, but then I also like a lot of perfumes where there's reviews bitching about a masculine or unisex smell LOL. I am all over the place while still weirdly somewhat picky. And idk if I already mentioned this, but fragrances can smell wildly different on a test strip then on skin. They can also smell totally different on one person and the next. I remember I tried on a man's fragrance LOL and it smelled amazingly crisp and nice and extra fresh on me. Then I smelled it on a dude and it smelled all musky like a totally different fragrance, but same bottle. 😂

So I'm like the opposite and fragrance lasts longer on me in the cooler weather. Woodsy fragrances are absolutely divine on me 😁 basically a lot of fragrances that women bitch about in reviews as being too woody or masculine/unisex smell incredible on me. Lol! My skin has a way of turning a lot of woody scents into pure sugar hahaha I can't explain it. Also strong rose fragrances seem to get a lot of hate but most I've tried are divine on me so idk 🤷🏼‍♀️

I'd be mad too. I like that one, but the Mons Paris Intensement is even better imo. Heh I'm not against buying designer, I'll be cheap where I can get away with it. I also like Flowerbomb (original) and Chanel Coco Mademoiselle a lot, but they have some pretty good and cheap dupes so I have that instead lmao. I did buy another newer version of Flowerbomb tho that wasn't duped to hell and back lmao Never smelled Ellie Saab, but I keep seeing it mentioned so I need to find somewhere to sniff this stuff lol.

I honestly dk. If I didn't already say it, I try and be somewhat sensible with my spending these days. I haven't worked in a while and am back in school and all. IF Baccarat Rouge 540 is very similar or even a close dupe to Ariana Grande Cloud (which a LOT of people say it is) then I would hate BR540. I am grateful for this since I don't even have it in my head to ever buy it even if i went back to dancing lmfao. I HATE Ariana Grande's Cloud, but most people LOVE it so perhaps my nose is a bit weird?

I haven't smelled anything Bulgari for women that I liked lol. I agree with you on Versace, none of them are bad imo. There is some cheap Oud perfume I got recently that is like really strong and doesn't give me headaches at all, and is very soothing. Gee I'm happy. Nice! Apparently a lot of guys wear it too, but whatever.

I don't really feel like stuff marketed for one gender should necessarily only be worn by that one gender. It is whatever someone wants to do. I also think it is cultural. I remember dancing for an Ethiopian and he definitely smelled like the coconut fragrances we tend to market for women. I didn't mind though. I am pretty sure it was a fragrance product and not him rubbing coconut oil or something on his skin or hair.

I wanted to add that yall should be careful because everything gets reformulated these days, including $100 and up perfumes so read the shit out of reviews. Sometimes it is better to buy an older/possibly used of the same fragrance than a brand new one because I've been seeing a trend of the newer editions/reformulations being weaker or even having somewhat different fragrance notes to some people. I personally expect beast level performance out of the higher priced stuff.

@icee I actually think it's cutting corners plus there are new regulations being put in from time to time. I vaguely remember reading about how this or that unpronounceable chemical gets banned or something because some people have allergies or w/e. @ski I have great hygiene thank you. I still like perfume lmao. Haters gonna hate! @mister Things don't have to be expensive to smell good. I do think though that if you try to stay in the ultra cheap price range that it is hard to get the full experience.

This inflation really is a bitch. Like these food prices even if u go to like the cheapest store in ur area are still noticeably higher.

Scents can bring up certain moods for me. It is almost like aromatherapy. FYI essential oils are not necessarily healthier than synthetics. Like you still can't put undiluted essential oils on your skin, and if you put them in soap or lotion or something it's still gotta be diluted below or up to a certain ratio. Also apparently some essential oils can potentially cause abortions 🤣 (idk how true that is tho)

I guess for me- no, they do not bring up memories whether good or bad. But they just set me in certain moods idk how to explain. And I'm like *all* over the place with my fragrances.

So I don't think that price is always related to quality with scents. There are quite a few mid and high priced fragrances that don't perform for shit. I've heard about Tom Ford perfume performance. I'd never waste that much money on something that doesn't even last all day. There are also a lot of very cheap scents that do perform well and smell good. I guess it just depends on preferences. Kinda random, but I think that "fresh" scents marketed for men are usually way the fuck better smelling than the "fresh" scents they usually market for women. That kinda upsets me. It is sorta like men's deodorant is usually better. Not ok! 😂 I've noticed that a lot of reviews bitch about something is masculine if it isn't a sugar bomb/real edible smelling. I've seen that a couple times for lavender heavy scents, which I find funny as I don't find lavender to be strictly a masculine scent. I also see this sort of commentary for a lot of woody/smoky scents which imo tend to pull sweet on me.

I try and be careful with the purely gourmand (edible) type scents. Sometimes they trigger me to eat when I shouldn't lmao. Some smells do just make me happy every single time. Some are comforting before going to sleep. Some wake me the fuck up and energize me. Some scents I have to be in a particularly dominant/loud/idgaf mood that day to wear.

😂 LOL! <---- This is my reaction owning a cheap dupe or 2 then buying the real pricier version and sometimes the dupe is better!

oops Idk why that cut out the rest of my message. Anyway that is my reaction to some cheap imitation dupes in fact being better than the pricier real version I ended up buying.

Omg lol. I couldn't care less what paying customer would smell like. But it is a bonus if they are either fresh/clean or have a nice scent on them. Well, not liking BO/stinky pussy I can understand. Sounds like these ladies need to get in the habit of showering or at least use baby wipes or something if they don't stink too bad.

I gotta say when something lasts more than 12 hours and you can even smell it faintly after a shower...that's some potent stuff 😂

Ew

If there is a perfume that one is too greedy to divest themself of then one may spray multiple perfumes in 1 spot to create a new scent 😁

Is it hard to believe that I gifted people fragrances? lmao. definitely obsessed
