I love the Molton Brown Rose & Rhubarb range, but wish the perfume would smell the same as the body lotion. I’ve tried the perfume but it’s nothing like the shower gel or body lotion.

The same with L’Occtaine Almond range, love the gels and lotions but there’s no proper perfume that smells the same and th lotions just don’t last smell wise/

I love the Victoria Secrets Coconut Passion body mist but it just doesn’t last.

A perfume that smells like hyacinth. In the same way that yoi get single note Rose perfumes.

Panhaligon’s Bluebell.

Oh I love Turmeric Latte 🥰 @Arlanymor

Gorgeous isn't it! Feels very autumn - a bit bonfire-ish if that's not a weird thing to say?!

istolethetalisker · 14/11/2025 16:50

I'd love a perfume that smells like snow in the air

DisplayPurposesOnly · 14/11/2025 16:51

Eau de Foin Frais (fresh hay) for me please

istolethetalisker · 14/11/2025 16:52

I also love the vanilla scent of milkshake hair lotion - vanilla without being cloyingly sweet - but they don't seem to do scents

Puppylucky · 14/11/2025 16:53

There is definitely a single note hyacinth perfume as I have bought the Perfume Parlour dupe of it but helpfully I can't remember the name. I will try and trawl the PP site . Lily Flame do a Blue Hyacinth candle which is pretty

dontletmedownbruce · 14/11/2025 16:54

Eau de Patou

i bloody loved it. Nothing else is the same.

Mumofyellows · 14/11/2025 16:56

Have you tried the Laura Mercier almond and coconut one? Sounds like it will combine two of your loves!

Have you smelt Le Labo Eucalyptus perfume?

You want to smell like a blanket?
I’ve got one of these camphor lined chests, it’s lovely, but I wouldn’t like to smell like it!

ChiaraMontague · 14/11/2025 17:03

Can I campaign for a rerelease? Maison Francis Kurkdjian Lumière Noire pour Femme is my favourite ever perfume, I’m down to my last 30ml or so and desperate to find a legitimate bottle on eBay or a good dupe.

potplantsinparadise · 14/11/2025 17:04

@Mumofyellows Take a look at 'and fragrance' - founded by Simon Constantine who made a lot of Lush's original perfumes: https://andfragrance.com/

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 14/11/2025 17:05

The Freesia people, I’ve got a Primark one Pear and White Freesia which is a Jo Malone dupe. It’s really nice!

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 14/11/2025 17:06

I wish they’d properly relaunch Champagne by YSL also called Yvresse

My favourite Molton Brown shower gel is Orange & Bergamot . The cologne is way off the mark .

Many years ago M&S did a spray eau de toilette in a frosted clear bottle (Formula - it went with the rest of the Formula range ) disappeared never to be seen again,

I remember the M&S Formula perfume spray, it was lovely. I remember it smelling a little like Clarins Eau Dynamisante.

Wish that KL by Karl Lagerfeld would come back, I adored it !

Have you ever sniffed The Buddhawood Box by 4160 Tuesdays? It's inspired by carved boxes!

That's a good suggestion although I've just read the ingredients, it might be a touch sweet for me. My favourites are Paloma Picasso and Knowing. I've just sold Aramis Rose Calligraphy for being too sweet.

Not like a blanket, like the feeling from the smell of the box.

Essence vault. They do dupes of so many perfumes and are so affordable. Made in the UK. Really quick delivery. Perfumes are spot on to the expensive ones and I actually found Essence Vault to be longer lasting.

Sangado perfumes. I know Amazon sells them.

Sandcaaarstle · 14/11/2025 19:31

I wish they hadn’t discontinued Rose by Paul Smith. I wore it daily for years. I’ve only got a tiny bit left 😭

catinacastle · 14/11/2025 19:33

O2 body spray from Impulse..for the nostalgia!

I want a perfume that smells like the inside of a Chinese camphorwood chest.

I love that too. I bought some essential oil of camphorwood and spreay it onto somw wooden sticks for my wardrobes. It prevents clothes from moth. In my hometowm, its a very common tree growing along the main streets. The leaves smell devine, its something I miss a lot. My mum bought me a set of drawers at home made of camphorwood, every time I open it I can smell it.
