My father passed in Feb 2023. His signature cologne was YSL’s L’Homme. So when Father Figure from Phlur came out, I blind purchased it. I love it. Whenever I wear it, it reminds me of being a little kid, laying on my dad’s chest as we watched tv together, my face cuddled up to him and I smell the remnants of his cologne at the end of the day. ❤ I hope Phlur never discontinues it!

I learned to like vanilla in 2023! Way back in the day (like 1999) I had some sort of vanilla perfume purchased at a mall kiosk that I used to drown myself in for middle school and it eventually overwhelmed me and I hated it. So this year, I've dabbled a little and Divine Vanille by Essential Parfums is juuuust right.

I was really interested in Akro Bake, but I ended up getting D&G Devotion which I really like (I know this one is somewhat controversial, but I get the lemon gourmand from it and not kitchen cleaner 😂). If you’ve smelled or tried that one, do you think Bake is too similar? I’ve heard they are so I’m curious about what you think. Fine’ry is such a great brand…I love so many and find them to last…the price point also can’t be beat! I have to try Sniff and want Crumb Couture so bad…and the new Vanilla!! I have 3 really good blueberry type fragrances I love, but I am obsessed with that note/profile and gourmands! This was a great video…you were so on point with all the fragrances you mentioned!

Hello, based on your opinion on Bake by Akro, I think you would just LOVE Devotion by Dolce & Gabbana. It has a really good sugared lemon note at first and then you are left with something between floral and gourmand with the orange blossom and vanilla at the base. Really gourmand yet elegant ! Give it a snif if you can 😊
