Yayyy you got it! So yum. The older one still intrigues me but I rarely wear it and only at home so far, definitely an acquired taste and I only really like it after it’s been on an hour or so.

I've heard it smells more like the perfume version of their Super Milk Hair Conditioner. Also Bujairami has the dupe of Super Milk at $45 for 100ml to take it one step further 😆. I've never smelt any of these, l just spend way too much time listening to stuff for nothing 😂🤦♀️

I only keep a few fragrances in my bedroom or bathroom and the rest are stored in my beauty stash drawers downstairs. I need to rotate through the fragrance drawer to see what needs to be used up. So having said that I’ve only been using my upstairs scents including Solinotes The Blanc Eau de parfum spray. I think this is an eau de toilette as it isn’t strong and does not last on myself very long. It does remind me of Elizabeth Arden Green Tea scent though. My second favourite is Versace Bright Crystal eau de toilette. I have used up half of the 10 ml spray in just around a month so I bought a 30 ml bottle at Winners in Canada for $60 CDN dollars. And lastly I love the Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet eau de toilette spray. My least favourite was a blind buy mini trio of 10 ml versions of Britney Spears Fantasy, Fantasy Intense and Fantasy Sheer. I only like the sheer version. The others will become bathroom sprays.

Have you tried Paris Corner's North Stag Expressions III/Trois? It's supposed to be inspired by LV Imagination. I blind bought it for the citrus-tea combination. It too, has ginger but I don't get the jarring.
@TopNotesofKat5 күн бұрын
I haven’t yet, but I’m keeping an eye out for it. Supposed it’s more gingery than this one. When I mean jarring, it’s just personal preference, it’s not a strong ginger by any means and I do like it, but it is dominant when you first spray it, then it disappears ☺️

Update: I just saw the pinned comment🤦♀️ Empire Victor was reformulated in April of 2024. I wonder if you got the old version. The old formulation had an animalic oud note, which many people didn't enjoy, but I don't recall anyone mentioning a burnt rubber smell, though 🤷♀️. I personally loved Empire Victor straight out of the box. I didn't get any burnt rubber. It actually was a sweet vanilla for me on the first spray even without macerating. I don't get much lemon, though. Still a love for me❤

@ you’re not getting any coconut? that’s what I was getting from the OG and Her , just a yucky sick and my stomach feeling. But since you already have it, definitely let it sit as you know.

I don't like her confessions but my educated assumption is I don't like tuberose dominant scents or scents that are too sophisticated. I down own the Paris corner dupe but I was able to spray it in store and it seemed creamier and better than her confessions but still not my profile. her confessions feels like warm milk maybe even baby milk. but it doesnt smell like something I want on my body
