Tom Ford Lost Cherry for me today. I like it, even though I do not like its name.
have you tried the newer ones yet? Of the new ones, I like Cherry Smoke.Electric Cherry was OK.
But Imma say it; the prices at 50ml was straight crazy.

No, I haven't tried the newer Tom Ford cherry perfumes but definitely will if I get a chance. Agree the price is crazy. I got a 10ml bottle of Lost Cherry after trying a sample and I think that will be enough for me. Sometimes I like it but other times it reminds me of cherry flavored pipe tobacco, and not in an especially good way, either.
Kayali Lovefest Burning Cherry. I blind bought a travel size bottle. I Don't like it nearly as much as the Tom Ford Lost Cherry. I don't smell nearly as much cherry in the Kayali and the other notes aren't all that pleasing to me, whatever they are. But I'll try it a couple more times just to be sure.

Speaking of Guerlain, I found some old and forgotten samples of spirituese double vanille. No telling how old these things are but definitely prepandemic. They smell absolutely amazing, definitely long lasting with a ton of depth (there are lots of complaints that the new stuff is not what it used to be!)

I tested some Matieres; SDV, Angelique Noire and Tonka Imperiale, all old batch and got deeply disappinted . I really expected much more. All was meh. Last year Shalimar Millesime Tonka surprised me positively. The best Shalimar flanker ever and the best of Guerlain since 1996.

More for me...lol
The art and material fragrances last forever on me and in general I tend to really like them to really love the majority of them.
I'm the one that really don't swoon over the older guerlains except Chamade Mahora.
I find them to be a fun house to explore.

I’m wearing Vacation by…Vacation. This company has the cutest retro marketing based on 70s-80s advertising. They have candles called Pool Boy, Hotel Lobby, and Tennis Balls. It’s all very silly and lighthearted and I love the actual Vacation fragrance. The descriptions and fragrance notes are hilarious.
I think I mentioned this one several pages back. Oh well, it’s worth mentioning again. I’ve given their candles as hostess gifts and am already on a second one for myself.
"VACATION" by Vacation® | Eau de Toilette | Vacation®
The signature scent of the “World-Famous” Vacation® brand sunscreen developed in conjunction with ARQUISTE Parfumeur and Rodrigo Flores-Roux. Smell like sunscreen and summer. Sprayable on demand.

Dunk your brassiere in perfume. Or your undies, whichever you’re feeling.

this is one that I can think of https://dameperfumery.com/collections/dame-soliflore-gardenia and they have smaller amounts that you can try the scent. I have a few of their oils as well as a few of their larger perfumes (not this one though)

Have you tried "Un Gardenia La Nuit"? I think it's discontinued but they do have expensive candle versions...

I think I’m heaven. Last week arrived the bottle, Guerlain Guet Apens, I have dreamt of over year. This begins with juicy peaches, but soon others come to play so harmoniously, that I got my eyes tears. This is so beautiful and soft, slightly sweet goddess
heavenly!

Jo Malone Wild Bluebell for me today. To me, it seems simple but pretty. I like it enough that I'm thinking about getting a large bottle when this little one is gone.
Also ordered a large bottle (3.4 oz) of Lancome Poeme because I heard it was being discontinued. It was a bit hard to find. But further searching seems that it may not have been discontinued after all. Anyone know?
I remember Poeme as flowery lusciousness but also heavy. Must remember not to overdo.
Its main fragrance is "yellow flowers." Now I'm wondering how that differs from "white flowers," which are one of my favorite ingredients. Yellow is heavier, I guess? (I don't know the correct terms for perfume discussion).

Also, does anyone else not care for Chanel perfumes? They seem such staples that I'm confused. I have sampled many of them and did get a bottle of Mademoiselle Coco. But as I've mentioned before, to me it just smells like the mall. It's okay but nothing special imo. I do not have a sophisticated nose so wondering if I'm missing something.
