Recently picked up Cedar Chic by Carolina Herrera and man, I’m genuinely loving this stuff. I keep finding myself reaching for it and smelling it throughout the day. Such a beautiful fragrance!

One thing I noticed though, and I’m curious if anyone else gets this: to my nose, Sospiro Contralto is like 85% similar to Cedar Chic. I haven’t really seen people making that comparison, but the resemblance is pretty striking to me.

Anyone here own or have tried both? Am I crazy for thinking they’re this similar? 😂

Rayhaans at the bottom
Nocturno elixir, Italia, pacific aura, lion, wolf, aquatica, azul, obsidian, Tera, elixir

Odyssey mega in the middle on the bottom row.

The yellow bottle in the top left without a label is Jean Lowe Immortal.

Any recommendations?

1500 CAD for those wondering!

Is this the new or the old EDP? The batch is supposedly from 2024, but I feel like the notes don’t match either of the other versions (2015 or 2025). Does anyone have an explanation as to which version I actually bought?

How would you guys rate these, feel free to ask about anything regarding them :D

I didn’t know all the fragrances in the collection! Were you guys aware of all these releases?

Any input on this?

Just curious, I blind bought Nava Sol a little bit ago. Combination of an Amazon sale and the hype around it and Cedric Blanc.
My bottle has an overwhelming violet note that’s kind of insufferable (just way too strong for my liking) in my opinion.
Did I just get a bad bottle or are they all like that? I’m really hoping it was just a bad bottle with some of the positive reviews I’ve seen

Merchant of Venice - Vinegia 21 is one I’ve been gatekeeping for a while now, and honestly, it’s easy to see why. The tobacco and warm woods had me from the start, but the praline is what makes this one so interesting. It brings a smooth, almost indulgent sweetness that complements the woods rather than overpowering them, while that resinous warmth gives the whole composition a rich, sophisticated feel. Despite all that depth, it still manages to feel airy rather than heavy. It’s opulent without being obnoxious, sweet without becoming a gourmand, and effortlessly elegant. One of those fragrances that makes you want to keep it to yourself…

I better not find out you’ve been telling Chads about this one!!

so i really like this adidas "Happy Feels" fragrance but the only problem is that it lasts like 2 hours only. What are some alternatives for around 25-40 USD

here are the notes

• Top Notes: Grapefruit, kiwi, and pink peppercorn (or sparkling citrus like lemon and orange)

• Middle / Heart Notes: Jasmine, green leaf accord (shisolia), nympheal, and spearmint

• Base Notes: Sandalwood, musk, and cedarwood

Oakcha inspirations:
PDM Layton
PDM Althair
Tom Ford Cherry Smoke
Replica By The Fireplace

Can somebody please let me know if this pdm layton looks real or not?

I’m a university student with limited budget, so I probably won’t be getting many more unless I use/sell a bottle or two :)

Some fragrances I want to add in the future:

• A Valentino, either BIR Intense, Extradose, or Coral Fantasy. I’d have to go sample all 3 tbh.
• Some sort of Tygar/Vibrato dupe
• Maybe a Percival dupe? I’m pretty happy with Profondo though, so I’d have to wait until I make a good dent in it. Maybe something in the Chanel BDC/AHS lines could be a good add?
• Would anyone recommend Maison Asrar’s Vanguard? I presume it won’t be redundant because Polo 67 EDP doesn’t have much pineapple and isn’t spicy.

My favorite fragrances in my collection

What do you all think?

I'm searching for an alternative to Chergui by Serge Lutens but cheaper, around 50-75€, that haves some of the same notes, amber, tobacco, honey but that don't have sweet as the top accord, it can have sweet but not as the top accord. Thank you in advance!

Back in the early 2000s I only got the vintage code and then since like February/march I started collecting actively and that's what I got. How could I improve and which niche frags would you recommend me to upgrade my collection? :)

Found in. the back of my cabinet. How i missed this smell

Hello everyone! I just got my first JPG it’s the Le beau le parfum, from one of those TikTok live streams and I was just wondering if you think it may be a fake? I knew going into it it would probably be but I still took the risk lol but I just don’t know too much to tell if it’s real or not. Thank you!

I recently stumbled across this perfume house from Brazil. Their perfumes look interesting but I don't hear anyone talk about it much. Does anyone have any experience with Granado?

First time I've worn it this year. I'm on graveyard shift tonight and the temp will be in the mid 60's inside my warehouse job. A little more than half my bottle left.

Love this fragrance so much. I'll be pretty sad when it's empty as it's so special. Not about to pay the crazy prices people are wanting for new unused bottles on eBay. I doubt I'll take the chance of buying a slightly used bottle as I'd have no idea how well they took care of it.

Enjoying these 3 sprays immensely right now.
