@imature011711 ай бұрын
Bdc Parfum is basically a soap that smells citrusy and VEEEERY luxurious. It is the best and most complete blue fragrance. I highly recommend it. The performance is so amazing. Logevity, on me at least, is over 12h, leaves a sexy scent trail and it projects like an arm lenght which is enough. But the price point is a little bit too much. I suggest you to get the biggest volume bottle as it is the best price/volume one.

Since then I’ve added Ysl la nuit de’homme, Guerlain l’homme ideal edp and Jazz club. Couple days ago I blind ordered Hacivat, Terre d’Herme edt. Next I’m hoping to pick up Noir extreme parfum Bleu de Chanel parfum and a couple from PDM. Probably Greenley and Harrod. Then hopefully chill for a bit..

I hope your blind buys work out for you. I learned about decant websites about a year and a half ago. I was able to purchase all of the talked about scents without spending too much money. It’s a good thing because I don’t seem to like the most talked about scents.😆 The last time I went on to the PDM website, you could purchase decants. I haven’t looked at the website in a while, so I don’t know if they still sell them.

I’ve already decided that scent will be my first niche fragrance purchase. I was “perfume shamed” on a different channel by a fellow subscriber. She “reprimanded” me because I said that I was going to purchase inexpensive perfumes. She said that I shouldn’t “clutter” up my collection with inexpensive perfumes. I should have asked her to buy me some expensive perfumes, so my collection wouldn’t be “cluttered” with perfume I might actually like and wear, aka my cheapie perfumes.😆. If you think my choices are too “cheap” for you because my choices aren’t from expensive designer brands or niche houses, please keep any negative comments to yourself. Thanks.

I remember my first fragrance was Harley Davidson red given from my sister at the age of 16 and after it was discontinued. A few years later I discovered la nuit d lomme and couldn’t believe it was exactly the same fragrance as that from Harley. Now I got a few samples from Parfume de Marly because of the hype , thank God I didn’t blind buy one but after wearing Layton I noticed it was kind of like la nuit but more complex, dense like a ysl la nuit on steroids.
