Best almond perfume?

14 replies

Ensconcedinvelvet · 11/12/2024 08:35

Hi everyone,
I have Prada les Infusion d'amande and I am obsessed but this lasts approx 5 mins before disappearing. I have hypnotic poison (and love it) but I am thinking about an almond centred, giant thwack of marzipan that lasts. Do you have any recommendations? I wanna smell like I am a walking battenburg/bakewell tart please. 😁

Can’t help perfumewise, but I can recommend the l’Occitane almond products,
https://uk.loccitane.com/almond-collection and the Aveda cherry and almond hair products. Yum.
Hopefully someone will come along with some good fragrance suggestions.

Oooh thanks so much! I'll check these out. Even if i layer a gentler perfume on top of a body lotion it might be great.

Elie Saab girl of now is very almondy.
unfortunately it had a bitter ‘aftertaste’ (afterscent?) on me but my skin does do weird things to perfumes ( redhead!)

I love almond scents, I'm currently wearing Tom Ford Lost Cherry which has a string initial hit of almond and then it's more less sweet bakewell after the drydown. Kayali Lovefest Burning Cherry is very similar to Lost Cherry and much cheaper, but I find Kayali perfumes don't last anywhere near as long but I guess the price point difference means you can be quite liberal with Kayali.

Gonna be controversial here but I actually don't like lost cherry! On paper I should absolutely love it but it just doesn't do it for me at all. A great bakewell suggestion though, thank you. I do appreciate it!

Dior Hypnotic Poison. Someone recommended it on here a while back and I love it! Can certainly smell the almond!

Farnesiana, if you don't mind an old fashioned walloper of a perfume.

ZeppelinTits · 11/12/2024 10:05

Lush Snowcake if you can find some on eBay. Its amazing ☺️

Oooh. I don't! I just looked it up and although there is no almond in the notes it does say mimosa which i love, and many reviews say smells of marzipan (or glue?!?) might see if i can get a sample.

I use L’occitaine almond range and just from the shower oil and body butter people always comment on the smell, it lasts well.

Jemimapuddleduk · 11/12/2024 14:31

There was a lush one a few years back, smelt just like marzipan

Tom Ford Vanilla Sex is heavy almond - delicious. More almond than vanilla to be honest.
