I liked Milk, but could only handle the personal/white bottle as I found the others a bit sharp. I feel the same about Lost in a Dream. My fave lactonic woody scent is Palo Santo by Carner Barcelona... toootally recommend!
Valaya is gorgeous. Simply gorgeous. However: Valay and Fleur Narcotique smell like sour lemons on me. Somebody tell me why/what notes cause that? I'm not the only one who gets a sour / screech on the skin with these. Damn !!
HA! 😂 I literally just spoke & made a video putting my thoughts on camera about my experience with Musk Therapy for summertime in my location. I'm waiting for the Paris Coner Pistachio to hit my shores so I can add it to my collection before my autumn begins. 🍂 Thanks for sharing!
I went crazy too and it was purely emotional. Commodity Gold and Magnolia. Argos Pour Femme. Juliette/gun Ode to Dullness and Fragrance de Bois Voyage de Paris… all in the past 2 weeks. I’m going through something… I wore Lost in a Dream today! …Great haul.
I literally just received a sample of Musk Therapy yesterday, and I love it! I usually wear Clean Reserve while working as a Hygienist but I think this would be an amazing option for the office. Only problem is the price😬 Do you have any other office perfume recommendations that you wear while working? I have like a hundred perfumes but I can only wear a few because I don't want to offend any of my patients. I sometimes push it though..lol..today I wore bianco Latte and I could smell it through my mask...that might have been a lil too strong😂
I'm so excited for these fragrances for you!! I ordered khair, quissa pink, quatar, and Tonka oud by Swiss Arabian. Tonka Oud is sooo good better than Velvet Tonka by BDK. These Arabian fragrances are taking over. Especially with the brand and niche price hike. I'm here for it! I can't wait for your reviews!
You picked up some of the greats! Hope you’re loving Musk Therapy 🎉I agree the Safanad bottle is my fav PDM. Paris Corner has some great fragrances; Riffaquat is a fantastic dupe for Babycat (I have both❤)
Valaya is interesting. I loved it. Wore it and women chased me around asking what I had on. But men said I smelled like a dirty sweaty men’s locker room. I now get the same thing. I decluttered
I need to try more MFK, I don't seem to love any of the ones that I've tried but people say gentle fluidity Gold is a bit different from the rest of the DNA like oud satin mood is.
I. Do. Not. Like. Valaya. It stinks! However, I own a full bottle and won't get rid of it - lol. I have the full collection of PDM women's collection, including Sedbury, because I like the bottles. Maybe I'll decant the juice and sell some or share (on second thought).
Musk Therapy is on my spring/summer buy list. I sampled it last year in the dead of summer...gorgeous. Will be buying soon. Great Haul...thanks for sharing. :)
Ebhar is One of my favorite perfumes! It smells so good and longevity is eternal. It's a comfort scent for me so I wear it on days where it's cool and I want to feel wrapped in an apple blanket lol
I have Gentle Fluidity Gold and love it! I bought Barakkat Gentle Gold and was blown away!! It is a 1:1 dupe after sitting 3 weeks. And I paid $18.99 😮 I also have Khair Pistachio. I didn’t like it when I first got it, but after sitting 2 weeks it was incredible! I’ve used 1/3 of my bottle in a month. Valaya is my fave from PDM! Oil Perfumery has a 1:1 dupe for Musk Therapy and it is stronger. I enjoy it so much!! I have Infini Musk and it is good too.
Valaya… I just tested that & I overwhelmingly get the fresh laundry/clean skin scent from it (aldehydes) with some peach, orange blossom & musk with it. It’s definitely pleasant, not off-putting, but it didn’t wow me enough to spend that kind of money on it. Weirdly, it made me think of fresh paper…like fresh white printer paper from a new package I just ripped open…lol🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ Edit to add: I’m also really impressed with Paris Corner’s Khair Pistachio. Delicious scent & long lasting with a marshmallowy dry down. Yum! 😋
Hi Jackie! I love Khair! Great brand new, and going forward I expect to love it even more. I mentioned it in a previous video 😊 I want to try the Rassasi! I like Casablanca. I bought Lira during the Jomashop sale. I wanted to get it, so why not get it on sale?😁By the way.......it smells like a lemon cookie! 😂🤣😂🤣 I hope the Amberwood in the new Miss Dior isn't too prominent since I'm not a fan of it in Navitus. 😮
Thanks so much for your comments about the Commodity Milk fragrances. I had the same issue with the wood notes in both Expressive and Bold and was so disappointed. I do like a lactonic note, so I’m interested now in trying out Lost in a Dream. Thanks for that!
Ms Jax, you are right about Lost in a Dream, because it's very close to Milk but like you said they do have their differences. I absolutely love them both. I love Lost in a Dream so much that I want to make it a signature scent and this would be my FIRST signature scent ever.😂❤. OAN, I recently just got the Navitus Parfum discovery kit. Would love to hear your review on them if you get it.
Hi, have you tried Keep glazed from The house of oud? Currently is on sale in my country and I want it but on Fragrantica I ve read that has the metallic musk from Erba pura 🤢
I must have gotten a bad bottle of Khair. To me I get the backfire of starting a lawnmower or leaf blower. I'm letting it sit and will revisit later. Hopefully it will get better with time and lose the machinery gas backfire smell 🤦♀️
Yes, I always go crazy around this time of year bc of my bday. I use my bday as an excuse to give into my alternate persona who has no control when shopping. I haven't had the "haul" bug yet but I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop lolllll
Hauls are always so fun! I sure want to love Jovoy Remember Me but I cannot wear it. I have tried is several times and maybe it's the cardamom but I know people love it! Enjoy your new scents!
What a haul!! I did have the same feeling about ode to dullness, I just knew I was going to like it… I rarely blind buy anymore but I did for that one. I actually wish the anise was toned down a little bit but I do really enjoy the fragrance 🥰
Oh! Ode ro Dulness is goooood... And is an awesome rain day scent. I get a fruity sweetness to it. 🤷♀️ Musk Therapy is great. Can't wait to wear it more (wearing Musc Noir Rose today and it's awesome). 😊 I'm waiting for Shaghaf Oud Tonka. Not really a Spring one. I hope it's a little different from Velvet Tonka. And also waiting for Remember Me... So weird... Looks like your Spring will be fantastic! 🌷🪻🌸
I wish they would’ve added the iris to the new Miss Dior, then it would be a must have for me .. I might get it down the road but I have my eye on another fragrance I want more
