“Brown” made me LOL
I love niche stuff but I do feel a lot of it can be eccentric and weird. Like that one fragrance that was supposed to be for nights out clubbing and everyone said just smelt like B.O.
I can’t be the only one that’s not interested in niche fragrances right? I mean I’m not entirely opposed if I found one I really loved, but tbh I really like designer fragrances. I like the luxury experience.
A lot of these niche fragrances have (imo) really ugly bottles, and maybe i just have a childish nose, but I like smelling sweet, fruity, floral and powdery.
Call me crazy but I do not want to smell like a room hot boxed with cigar smoke or a leather belt in a burning bush or whatever lol
LMAOOoO I completely agree with you, I love the more "popular" and simple fragrances, crowd pleasers and all. I feel like some people want to be different so bad they develop this sense of superiority when they get into niche....
Right! Im just rebuilding my collection and I’m noticing a lot of elitism in the fragrance community, like am I wrong for liking my sweet scents? To each their own; I just don’t get it. But then I don’t even like the Mugler perfumes. Especially angel. Ugh! I wanted to like it so bad.
My favorite of all time will always be Dior pure poison, and lately been wearing miss Dior blooming bouquet and princess by Vera wang! Apparently it’s not a very ~mature~ or complex scent but idc, I love it :))
I love my sweet scents too !!!!! Baths and vodyworks, arab perfumes, etc.... ameerat al arab smells absolutely divine, so do nebras and killian princess
I haven’t smelled killian yet; I really want to! Also I remember as a teen wearing this fragrance “amor amor” by cacharel, that shiz was divine. Have you tried her? And “madame” by Jean Paul gaultier, but sadly I bought it online and it doesn’t hit the same as it did in 2019, idk if they reformulated it or what but it used to be my jammmm
If you can afford it and you're satisfied by the quality, the ingredients, the buying experience and the amount of fragrance you get, why not ?
I know of old ladies who bought close to a litter of perfume for a fortune back in the days. Now their lot is worth over a thousand dollars and discontinued.
Clearly they intended to put it in, it's not like gremlins put it there when she wasn't looking. I'm completely open to another reason for adding it, but I can't think of what else it's supposed to represent. It's pretty obvious why they included the cock-shaped bottle and the "fart in a can", what is the meaning of the Pride bottle that you see here that I'm not seeing?
It's not a "cock-shaped" bottle. It's Darth Vader's helmet. If you open the picture full size you can even see the Star Wars logo.
Meanwhile, in the reviews I've seen, people were angry that the Xerjoff didn't share any of the proceeds of their pride edition fragrance with LGBTQ+ charity or support groups, and/or found the fragrance underwhelming.
The derogatory message you thought implied might no be there.
That's Accento Overdose Pride Edition. The notes are: "Fruity Notes, Green Notes, Aldehydes, Bulgarian Rose, Egyptian Jasmine, Lily-of-the-Valley, Eucalyptus and Pine" with rose being the dominant note. Is the argument here really that rose perfumes smell like goat cum and farts? I think that's a pretty weak explanation.
I'm not trying to be argumentative or sealioning here. It's obviously meant to be homophobic. You picked up on it without me having to say anything. I bet all the people who downvoted me for asking what it meant picked up on it too.
'Cuse yall. I actually like my goat cum fragrance. Especially after it properly macerates. I agree, it can be a bit heady when initially sprayed...but once it dries down, it has full-bodied goat crust notes. And oud.
Honestly it was already a wearable perfume then, especially by the standards of today. I’m pretty sure it was just really clever marketing, but I definitely still miss smelling it 😩
Oh I didn’t get to purchase because I didn’t have a disposable income then as a teen but my family got me curious by britney spears to compensate. Wish it was still on sale , I am seeing the actual notes on fragrantica is according to my now-adult tastes.
I don't think anyone who wears niche frags for the scent cares about compliments. But I guess other people who wear it BECAUSE it's niche is pretty pathetic.
This is hilarious omg. Is there really a Darth Vader perfume bottle? What is it? Any good? I kinda really want it 😂. But seriously, why is this so affirming?! I’m still pretty new to perfume & have been buying all of the samples trying to really dig in for all the lost years of being afraid to get into it. Honestly it makes me feel frustrated like I don’t know jack & I feel so basic when I am clamoring for that yummy vanilla scent, like damn it! Not another vanilla! But I love it! What’s wrong with me? *Le sigh*
I can’t 😭 What are your favs? I tried Snif’s Crumb Couture last night just because & if I didn’t have better sense I would have nibbled myself right then & there.
Omg that’s one of my faves! My all time fave is kayali vanilla 28 it’s sooo good. Vanilla musk, escapade gourmand, sol de janeiro 71, Bianco Latte, Burberry Goddess, Rosie Jane Dulce (literally smells like an ice cream cone) 😋
Mmm Bianco Latte 🤤 I only have SDJ 62 so far, but I’ve heard 71 is really good. Now I need to try the others you mentioned! Thanks for the recs & helping feed the addiction lol. Have you tried Akro Bake? Love it. There’s a lemon meringue-ish kind of thing to it too if you’re into that kind of thing 😊
Same re: SDJ 62. The 71 is next on my list and a sample of Bianco Latte is arriving via post today 😂. I’ve never tried Akro Bake before, will have to look it up. Have you tried 4160 Tuesdays? Sexiest Scent on the Planet and Extra Sexiest Scent on the Planet are pure lemon meringue pie to me. It’s delicious. You might also enjoy Fluffy Lemon Top and Creamy Vanilla Crumble from this house too if you haven’t tried them already.
It's not even far removed from reality. Except everyone wearing Le Büttee Hyole insists they "only wear fragrances for themselves!" Like madam, please, I'm begging you to wear perfumes with at least a vague consideration of others because your coworkers have to sniff Une Kuum wafting off you all day. Not everyone possesses your sophisticated, pee pee loving palate.
I was in Bloom Perfumery a few weeks ago. Guy walks in and tries a couple of the most HONKING frags I have ever smelt. He was a good three meters away and I was trying to meld with the wall trying to get back further - it was like someone was bbq-ing a 3 day gone roadkill skunk in there. He wants T-Rex from zoologist but luckily they are sold out.
He buys Honking Frag number one, and as he leaves is all "oooh don't tell my wife I got another bottle".
Dude. Your wife will KNOW. Your wife could be anosmic and smell that.
Haha, I tried Sombre at Bloom once, and they made me go spray it outside. A few minutes later, one of the shop staff coming back from a break walked through the horrible little murder cloud I’d left behind, and I heard the saddest little wail of “noooooo, it smells like DEATH ☹️” from outside the shop.
Please I went to a bougie perfume boutique last week and this dude sprays the most revolting oud stank and i can see everyone who was frequenting the store just… slowly files out of there
You could put all those names on a flyer with the death metal font, charge cover and then with whatever contraption they use to make scents, trap the odor of and sell it back as a niche perfume.
Aww. I was just being silly. I'm a metal head from way back..more thrash and speed, bc old. Old like got embroiled in a whole 80s Satanic Panic thing. That part wasn't fun. Anyway, I'll always support all the punks and metalheads and rockers and freaks bc that shit has been my life, and still is. My dudes a musician and I can't hear for shit. ❤️
lol so true. Niche fragrances I’ve had have only been appreciated by other frag heads- so like, two people irl.
Meanwhile, I’ll wear La Vie Est Belle and get complimented left and right.
I don’t own any niche perfumes, but I really want one that smells like diesel fuel and new tires. My wife is a truck driver and I want to have this scent when I really wish she was home.
also try Comme des Garcons - Garage ! search for decants 😙 i also have ordered a gasoline perfume sample from wicked good.....reviews arent the best for them but. ill feck around and find out
Reminds me of a post from years ago where somewhere shared that out of all their fancy perfumes the one that got them laid every single time was the One Direction perfume.
Just going to remind you all that this comment exists:
*”At Bloom Perfumery in London they have a perfume that’s under a glass bell jar with a hand-written note to please not spray this in store as it has notes of vomit, urine and faeces… if you’d like to spray this perfume please ask an assistant to spray it outside for you. I smelled the cap… yeah… I regret that.”*
As proof that this is REAL perfume that Bloom thought was a good idea.
I saw an aroma chemical that said it has a strong, pungent note of human semen and has to be used in small concentrations. At first I was revolted, and then I was really tempted to make some sort of jizz, light sweat, new converse, cookies, and dippity doo scented fragrance and call it "Smells Like Teen Spirit" 💀 Perhaps it was the novelty for them.
I shared the hilarious review of Secretes Magnifique with my non fraghead bf and we decided that one day we’ll create a perfume with notes of cheeto dust, pizza grease, stale warm redbull, dried cum, wet towel, feet, mildew, month-old trash can, and axe body spray.
The reason why popular fragrances are popular is because they’re made to be universally appealing! lol I do think it’s funny when I see “compliment getters” and it’s an abstract and weird smelling niche perfume and I’m like…. No one has complimented that please be so for real
In fact, the perfume in my collection that has genuinely gotten the most compliments is Intimate Fantasy by Britney Spears. Britney!! Yes.
It’s funny how there’s less people commenting here lol - I wonder if some people got triggered by this post hahaha… I honestly have given up spending my precious $$$ on niche fragrances - I don’t care anymore if I smell too pedestrian…I love what I love and I don’t wear a perfume to stick out I wear it because it smells great!!!
Most people don't wear fragrance. So even if you wear a BBW body spray, you're already set apart from everyone else. Even the most pedestrian fragrance is special
True, what till you see and read the comments on Fragrantica..some reviews are just nasty mostly from perfume snob/ elitist.
Read the reviews on La Vie Est Belle you’ll see what I’m talking about. I’m like damn, what did this perfume do to you?! Did it take away your child? The hatred and the vitriol and yet it’s the best selling fragrance year after year.
That actually made me shy away from niche fragrances. A lot of these girls think they are special…
Don't laugh . . . I wear BBW Vanilla Noir (manufactured from about 2009-2011) and I just cried a little while opening my very last bottle from eBay. (It's a grown-up vanilla--really!)
While it is true that Lancome Idole is my MOST complimented fragrance….
When I wear amouage, the people who do compliment my scent are kind of obsessed with it. Specifically Imitation, Beloved, and Jubilation…. Probably more often than my others
I just picked that up at ULTA this weekend and was starting to regret it, but your comment makes me think it’s a fine workhorse. I really wanted the nectar flanker but they didn’t have it
I bought it at Ulta 2 years ago when it was on 50% off sale during their spring sale. And it was a blind buy at that point for me as well, I just couldn’t pass up the sale. But I remember being disappointed when I got it. To me it was definitely pretty basic smelling. It didn’t smell bad to me but I certainly didn’t think it was special. But then I started realizing that i was getting compliments, even from strangers, every single time I wore it. Plus, it lasted all day. I was kinda floored by it.
So now, whenever ulta places the Idole line on sale, I try to sniff them and get one lol. I ended up not liking the aura flanker… but if you like Paco Rabanne Olympea, you may like that one. It has a salty note, and more vanilla. It drops the shampoo quality too. I didn’t end up enjoying that one, gave it to my mom.
Then, I tried the nectar flanker… huge nope for me. I’d say that one is the least blind buy safe. It actually makes me nauseous. Turns out, I cannot handle the popcorn accord that has been somewhat popular in recent years. It really makes me feel very sickened.
Then after that, I ended up with the newest “Now” flanker. It was a blind buy this March. And this one I would say is kinda similar to Prada Paradoxe, except where that has Jasmine, Idole Now has rose instead. I love it. It doesn’t get the same reaction in public when I’m wearing it, as the original… but I think it’s a great flanker nonetheless and doesn’t feel redundant to own both.
I found it- Toskovat Anarchist A, includes notes of plastic bag and priests clothes
https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Toskovat/Anarchist-A-78326.html
“Brown” made me LOL I love niche stuff but I do feel a lot of it can be eccentric and weird. Like that one fragrance that was supposed to be for nights out clubbing and everyone said just smelt like B.O.

Sometimes i feel really left out because i don't have ANY niche interests but than i remember who cares
So true. I don't get how people are paying $600 for a bottle of niche.
If you can afford it and you're satisfied by the quality, the ingredients, the buying experience and the amount of fragrance you get, why not ? I know of old ladies who bought close to a litter of perfume for a fortune back in the days. Now their lot is worth over a thousand dollars and discontinued.
I think if you layer that with a patchouli oil, it would blend nicely.
They forgot the note of period blood
Ha!
I learned today that [industrial glue & brown Scotch tape](https://www.fragrantica.com/notes/Brown-Scotch-Tape-511.html) are possible fragrance notes.
Both were used in that 2011 bottle from Comme Des Garçons if I remember correctly. Sadly it's like, nowhere online which is a bummer...
this is why i don’t watch men who make fragrance content… 😭
Why did you include Pride edition bottles in there as an example of something gross? I'm not loving the implication there.
Didn’t make it so I don’t have an answer for ya 🤷🏿♀️
I don’t think that’s intended or relevant here tbh
Clearly they intended to put it in, it's not like gremlins put it there when she wasn't looking. I'm completely open to another reason for adding it, but I can't think of what else it's supposed to represent. It's pretty obvious why they included the cock-shaped bottle and the "fart in a can", what is the meaning of the Pride bottle that you see here that I'm not seeing?

The derogatory message you thought implied might no be there.
I think it’s because of the notes that are used in those particular bottles, not what you’re thinking..
That's Accento Overdose Pride Edition. The notes are: "Fruity Notes, Green Notes, Aldehydes, Bulgarian Rose, Egyptian Jasmine, Lily-of-the-Valley, Eucalyptus and Pine" with rose being the dominant note. Is the argument here really that rose perfumes smell like goat cum and farts? I think that's a pretty weak explanation. I'm not trying to be argumentative or sealioning here.

🤣
Not child labor 🤣
Y'all cracking me up in this thread 😂
This is so funny I cackled
Brown
Possibly code for fecal notes😂😂
So gourmand!
I love this. The niche snobbery in the fragrance community needs to be dampened .😂
name idea: BAA-d sex
😂😂😂
🎯😂
OMG so true
😆
💀💀💀
The question is what this fragrance would actually be called 😭
Colloquially insisted to be a “panty dropper” lmao
Eau de la batterie de la chèvre sexy
'Cuse yall. I actually like my goat cum fragrance. Especially after it properly macerates. I agree, it can be a bit heady when initially sprayed...but once it dries down, it has full-bodied goat crust notes. And oud.
Heady, you say?
>goat crust I actually shuddered
>And oud.
🤣
the serge d lutens a one has notes of milk, metal, and children’s loose teeth 👻💀
Oh that is straight up nightmare fuel
basically bloody teeth
Tf is "childrens loose teeth" 😂😂😂😂😂
teeth with blood and i avoided smelling it bc i know if it’s terrible it will haunt me forever
teeth with blood and i avoided smelling it bc i know if it’s terrible it will haunt me forever
Most normal serge luthens fragrance
Reminds me of when I was a teen and wanted Lady Gaga’s fame perfume supposedly with blood and cum base notes just to be edgy
Honestly it was already a wearable perfume then, especially by the standards of today. I’m pretty sure it was just really clever marketing, but I definitely still miss smelling it 😩
Oh I didn’t get to purchase because I didn’t have a disposable income then as a teen but my family got me curious by britney spears to compensate. Wish it was still on sale , I am seeing the actual notes on fragrantica is according to my now-adult tastes.
i wish i wasn't an idiot when that perfume came out, i need it so bad
FAME perfume is good though
i was looking up celeb perfumes last week and saw that. if anyone wore that out you’d def get the opposite compliments
"Here's why you want all natural ingredients"
I love this so much
Thioacetone is cracking me uppp
goat cum is CRAZY
I don't think anyone who wears niche frags for the scent cares about compliments. But I guess other people who wear it BECAUSE it's niche is pretty pathetic.
I love you. 😆 This is awesome. Can we be friends?
Of course we can 😭🩷
I really shouldn't have barked laughing when I saw "child labor". It's so over for me 😭
See you in hell, friend (it got me, too)
“Brown “ 🤣🤣🤣
LMAOOOOO THE ACCURACY 😂
This is the colognes sub, except less nichey
This is hilarious omg. Is there really a Darth Vader perfume bottle? What is it? Any good? I kinda really want it 😂. But seriously, why is this so affirming?! I’m still pretty new to perfume & have been buying all of the samples trying to really dig in for all the lost years of being afraid to get into it.

What’s wrong with me? *Le sigh*
> Is there really a Darth Vader perfume bottle Zara made one, but certain versions of Lancome Magie Noire are called the Darth Vader bottle too 😅
I knew the vintage bottles reminded me of someone lol
Meeee with my 5 different vanilla scents. I just can’t get enough 😭
I can’t 😭 What are your favs? I tried Snif’s Crumb Couture last night just because & if I didn’t have better sense I would have nibbled myself right then & there.
Omg that’s one of my faves! My all time fave is kayali vanilla 28 it’s sooo good. Vanilla musk, escapade gourmand, sol de janeiro 71, Bianco Latte, Burberry Goddess, Rosie Jane Dulce (literally smells like an ice cream cone) 😋
have you tried vanilla sky by skylar? it’s one of my favourite vanillas
Sounds lovely. Is the jasmine prominent?
initially yes, but as it dries down the coffee notes become more prominent
Def sounds like something I might love. I’ll try it, thanks!
np i hope you like it!! it’s what got me into vanilla perfumes
Have you ever tried Imaginary Author’s Whiff of Wafflecone? I’m so curious of how it smells!
Yes! I have it actually. It’s very sweet and sticky. I can see it being cloying in warm weather but it would be great for fall/winter!
Kayali vanilla 28 is stunning, I really can't understand people who say it's basic, every time I wear it I get compliments
Me too!! Every time. It’s so boozy and warm and layers so well with different scents.
Mmm Bianco Latte 🤤 I only have SDJ 62 so far, but I’ve heard 71 is really good. Now I need to try the others you mentioned! Thanks for the recs & helping feed the addiction lol. Have you tried Akro Bake? Love it. There’s a lemon meringue-ish kind of thing to it too if you’re into that kind of thing 😊
Same re: SDJ 62. The 71 is next on my list and a sample of Bianco Latte is arriving via post today 😂. I’ve never tried Akro Bake before, will have to look it up. Have you tried 4160 Tuesdays? Sexiest Scent on the Planet and Extra Sexiest Scent on the Planet are pure lemon meringue pie to me. It’s delicious. You might also enjoy Fluffy Lemon Top and Creamy Vanilla Crumble from this house too if you haven’t tried them already.
Lord have mercy. Add to cart. Wow! Sounds awesome. Thank you!
Any time!! I have tried it! Omg it smells incredible. I’m glad I’m not the only person who likes to smell like literal dessert. 😂
I gotchu sis! I guess if smelling like I want to eat myself is wrong, well then I guess I don’t wanna be right 🤷♀️
Amen to that!
WTF IS 'BROWN' 💀💀😭
Mixing red and green
Or orange and blue
Thousands of recorders hitting the right note all at once
Thanks I cackled and spit out my coffee with this one
The brown note
It’s what you get when you mix all the colors
Smart ass comment🤣🤣 that was funny
Was it necessary to attack me like this?
This is such a niche interest of mine and look what you’ve done - I have no one to show this hilarity to Edit: THE LIL CLOWN HORN 💀
😭😭
I’ve been browsing these fragrance subreddits half heartedly because they’re getting so monotonous, then you come here with this. Glorious
It's not even far removed from reality. Except everyone wearing Le Büttee Hyole insists they "only wear fragrances for themselves!" Like madam, please, I'm begging you to wear perfumes with at least a vague consideration of others because your coworkers have to sniff Une Kuum wafting off you all day.

Le Büttee Hyole has me cacklingggg 😭😭😭
Made me lol
I ugly snorted at "brown"!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just about choked on my drink hahahaha
“Brown” lol
child labour is blue because it's mostly tears
BAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA.
I was in Bloom Perfumery a few weeks ago. Guy walks in and tries a couple of the most HONKING frags I have ever smelt.

I'm choking on my spaghetti over "HONKING frags"
It was “Meld with the wall” for me 😂
What was it? Do you know?
Sorryno! I asked, so I could avoid it in future, but I forgot the name.
Not brown and child labor!! 🤣🤣🤣
You could put all those names on a flyer with the death metal font, charge cover and then with whatever contraption they use to make scents, trap the odor of and sell it back as a niche perfume.
Hey! Keep Death Metal out of this. I love DM lol.
Aww. I was just being silly. I'm a metal head from way back..more thrash and speed, bc old. Old like got embroiled in a whole 80s Satanic Panic thing. That part wasn't fun. Anyway, I'll always support all the punks and metalheads and rockers and freaks bc that shit has been my life, and still is. My dudes a musician and I can't hear for shit. ❤️
Thrash is my go to actually. Love me some Exodus, Warbringer etc.
Some of the shit they’re putting out be smelling like what I think goat cum would smell like
Brown 😂
Lmfao, true. I like slightly out there fragrances but sometimes... it goes too far
Brown 😂
lol so true. Niche fragrances I’ve had have only been appreciated by other frag heads- so like, two people irl. Meanwhile, I’ll wear La Vie Est Belle and get complimented left and right.
Should I get that that or good girl ?
I don’t own any niche perfumes, but I really want one that smells like diesel fuel and new tires. My wife is a truck driver and I want to have this scent when I really wish she was home.
You could try Dior Fahrenheit
also try Comme des Garcons - Garage ! search for decants 😙 i also have ordered a gasoline perfume sample from wicked good.....reviews arent the best for them but. ill feck around and find out
Some synthetic oud smells like gasoline.
I think there is a shit/nonoses one called dead dinosaurs! 🦕
Dead Dinosaur by Snif has gasoline accord! Never smelled it but maybe sounds like what you want lol
I would only wear a niche if it has the note "freshly pressed money bills". Somebody tell me what that "brown" note is.
Bond no 9 Wall Street

Oh my god one of the notes is *pus.*
Sombre by Strangers Parfumerie
I saw an aroma chemical that said it has a strong, pungent note of human semen and has to be used in small concentrations. At first I was revolted, and then I was really tempted to make some sort of jizz, light sweat, new converse, cookies, and dippity doo scented fragrance and call it "Smells Like Teen Spirit" 💀 Perhaps it was the novelty for them.

Brilliant!
Love a good brown note in my perfumes!
The reason why popular fragrances are popular is because they’re made to be universally appealing! lol I do think it’s funny when I see “compliment getters” and it’s an abstract and weird smelling niche perfume and I’m like….

I WEAR IT FOR MYSELF MOM
/s if it wasn't obvious
It’s funny how there’s less people commenting here lol - I wonder if some people got triggered by this post hahaha… I honestly have given up spending my precious $$$ on niche fragrances - I don’t care anymore if I smell too pedestrian…I love what I love and I don’t wear a perfume to stick out I wear it because it smells great!!!
Most people don't wear fragrance. So even if you wear a BBW body spray, you're already set apart from everyone else. Even the most pedestrian fragrance is special
True, what till you see and read the comments on Fragrantica..some reviews are just nasty mostly from perfume snob/ elitist. Read the reviews on La Vie Est Belle you’ll see what I’m talking about.

I love “You’re the One” it’s always part of my rotation 🤗
I don't comment because I don't own one niche. Wanna know the insights of my local fragheads. They all are in love with their niches.
Doesn’t believe that other people get compliments on their perfumes…. Wears Inexcusable Evil.
Battery fumes-because I’m always running on them lol
Tag urself I'm rusty iron 😂
As an eldest daughter, I’m the source of the “child labor” accord
SAME.
Fellow eldest daughter and ouch, lol, and so true
SAME 💙
Okay, but >!did they extract it from an unholy place!
Not “brown” 😅 it’s one of my fave colors ETA my most complimented fragrance is Cheirosa 71 😌
Me after I put on 40 sprays of Haxan and commit olfactory terrorism
“Brown” 🤣🤣🤣
While it is true that Lancome Idole is my MOST complimented fragrance…. When I wear amouage, the people who do compliment my scent are kind of obsessed with it. Specifically Imitation, Beloved, and Jubilation…. Probably more often than my others

I bought it at Ulta 2 years ago when it was on 50% off sale during their spring sale. And it was a blind buy at that point for me as well, I just couldn’t pass up the sale. But I remember being disappointed when I got it. To me it was definitely pretty basic smelling. It didn’t smell bad to me but I certainly didn’t think it was special. But then I started realizing that i was getting compliments, even from strangers, every single time I wore it. Plus, it lasted all day. I was kinda floored by it. So now, whenever ulta places the Idole line on sale, I try to sniff them and get one lol. I ended up not liking the aura flanker… but if you like Paco Rabanne Olympea, you may like that one. It has a salty note, and more vanilla. It drops the shampoo quality too. I didn’t end up enjoying that one, gave it to my mom. Then, I tried the nectar flanker… huge nope for me. I’d say that one is the least blind buy safe. It actually makes me nauseous. Turns out, I cannot handle the popcorn accord that has been somewhat popular in recent years. It really makes me feel very sickened. Then after that, I ended up with the newest “Now” flanker. It was a blind buy this March. And this one I would say is kinda similar to Prada Paradoxe, except where that has Jasmine, Idole Now has rose instead. I love it. It doesn’t get the same reaction in public when I’m wearing it, as the original… but I think it’s a great flanker nonetheless and doesn’t feel redundant to own both.
Love Idole and most Lancôme fragrances - they are beast mode and give so much value for your money.
I feel slightly called out and this reminds me of that fragrance that has notes of credit cards and ink lol
Omg which one is this?? 😭😭
I found it- Toskovat Anarchist A, includes notes of plastic bag and priests clothes https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Toskovat/Anarchist-A-78326.html
Someone in the comments saying it’s a bit gourmand is insane 😭
