I got my Carmina a few days ago, and I’m so glad I did. To me, it’s still special and unique enough (despite the traditional combination of notes) to keep in my collection. 🍒🍒🍒
Hayley, can I just say that you are major influence in my fragrance purchases. I guess I’m getting Carmina now. 🤣 The Love in White for Summer did not work out for me. 😢
I tested Carmina yesterday late afternoon and I can still smell it faintly on my skin this morning. I didnt like the initial smell, but after that it's so beautiful. I didn't expect to like it much.
I think I have to agree with you, I think it would make an incredible diffuser scent or candle. It pulls a little nicer on other peoples skin chemistry than mine. I still really like it but preferred it on my husbands skin chemistry
Have some experience with a couple of these. Blue Talisman... very much a fruity-feminine Ganymede take in the top. Dries pear/ginger with some floral tones and a mildly rough base I'd say. It was okay. I haven't smelled Lightspeed, but have smelled Boyish and that was quite a boring fresh, spicy iris scent with some woody tones & lemon. I own Ingenious Ginger, I enjoy the wearing experience the most - the wearer will notice it all the time (zero olfactory fatigue), but others won't. One of the best "for me" scents. I got samples on the way for Carmina, Revolucion, new PureDistance, and also managed to hunt down new Sospiro which I've only seen Max Forti talk about. Latest purchase was Xerjoff's "Starlight" which sat on the wishlist for a bit too long, so went and bought it.
After seeing your what celebs wear I grabbed angel share and wow this fragrance keeps coming back with more it is exceptional. Will you be reviewing victoria Beckhams new collection ❤
Yes hold onto your hats! Launching this month, the three genderless eau de parfums, £170 each, have been handcrafted by perfumer Jérôme Epinette. “I spent a lot of time with him. I started with the stories and built the fragrances around them.”
Tonkandy from Hermetica is BEAUTIFUL! Received a sample from Twisted Lily and will be purchasing a full size. A Gourmand, but not sickly sweet. Must try for Gourmand lovers!
I discovered your channel not long ago and I have to say that you’ve quickly become one of my go to fragrance RU-vidrs. You are so elegant and I love the way you describe the scents. You are doing an amazing job 🥰 I hope you are having a beautiful day! The cap/Lid on Light Speed is stunning. I’m gonna have to get my nose on it just for that alone 😅
I have Divine Vanille and it’s gorgeous. I believe it is the same perfumer of PDM Harod. I ordered Bianco Latte it’s on Backorder I can’t wait to get it.
I am in LOVE with Carmina. The price is insanity tho. I'll wait for a deal to buy it bc I need the big bottle. I did just pick up PDM Althaïr, Burberry Goddess and Lionora from the new Mind Games Soulmate collection. It's a gorgeous passionfruit scent. Speaking of ginger, now I have my eye on the new Tutti Twilly from Hermes. It's a gorgeous ginger & litchi scent.
Orom by Bvlgari combines Assam tea and smoothest Oud with the best quality vanilla. It’s designed for men, but some ladies might like it. I am personally crazy about this combo.
Just got in the DUA. Version of Blue Talisman and OMG it was a love at first sniff. I need BUB stat!! Also I have their version of Carmina, which is spot on to my sample. DUA is killing it with their dupes!! Spot on and so good!! Absolutely stunning!! I have a sample of Queen of Silk on the way and it's already in the works for DUA too!! Cannot wait to get it as well.
I have Devine Vanille and love it. I tested and preordered Altaire from perfumes de Marly - picking it up tomorrow and am so excited. Love at first sniff. I got a sample of Carmina - have sprayed it a couple of times and cannot make up my mind on it. It was definitely not a love at first sniff, not really sure it is a like - as if develops, I find myself liking it but there are facets of it I do not care for. It is a complex fragrance to me for sure and I do not love all its facets., so at that price point I will have to pass on it.
Hi Hayley, I really like the opening of “Ingenious Ginger” but then it turns too masculine on my skin and smells like “Vibrato” from Sospiro, which turns out to be too masculine for me as well 😅
I got a sample of divine vanilla when I bought Bois imperiale and I thought it was beautiful but it disappeared on me quick so I’m so confused but also I feel like I have many scents with this profile. If it lasted I would get, essential parfumes is affordable
