      Kobito--- I love petit cherie... It lasts hours on one of my friends, even lingers on their clothes for days, but when I sampled it myself I found it went away much faster! I wonder...! Maybe winter is better

            has anyone tried la labo ylang 49? which serge lutens does it most compare too (because i'm most familiar with those) and is it lasting?

              While the Rose Oud grew on me a bit over time, I've actually started wearing + loving Chanel Égoïste (NOT Platinum).

              I'd still like a bit more of a rose edge, though, so I was wondering if anyone had experience with Le Labo toiletries -- I was thinking of layering the Égoïste over a soap or lotion in Rose 31. Any thoughts? Is that a heresy / desecration of a classic scent?

                i fell into having a bottle of both le labo rose 31 bodywash and lotion and i'm pretty obsessed. i've never been into rose much, and this scent was a full on revelation for me. it's not a typical rose though, it's earthier and not as sweet. i really don't have the ability/knowledge to discuss scents or guide you in any way, but i just wanted to give my

                  Égoïste is a magical fragrance – especially on women for some reason. I remember smelling it on a young woman on my way to work one day and just had to stop in my tracks. So amazing.

                  I've also smelled it on an old, really well-dressed man just outside my office and reacted pretty much the same way. Well, not quite the same way, but it resonated so well with the persona he delivered. I envied him.

                    This is not really women-specific, but can anyone direct me to somewhere that had descriptions of mad et len's scents (specifically candles) I've seen a few of them in person but can't remember which ones I liked. I'm not a scent expert so I can't go just by the name, and of course I don't live close to anywhere that sells them.

                      You loved all of them. I know this because I do.

                        Haha, I wish it was that easy! I'm pretty obsessed with their packaging, but I'm curious about some of the scents I've seen online and not in person yet, like rose du 8 mai (obviously a rose scent, but hoping it's a bit different than straight up rose) Somebody needs to invent a scent replicator for online perfume and candle buying purposes... "smell-o-gram". Or I just need to move to a better city. Not sure which one is more difficult.

                          lionlimb, I'd go on a sample binge of rose frags, there's so many...

                          I thought the Le Labo was a let down, it's heavily loaded with iso-e super as it's main basenote, which is very common and I don't like it. I'd check out Amouage Lyric for Women and Tauer's Un Rose Chypre especially... Kilian's Rose Oud is great too, one of my favorite roses.

                            Have not smelled the rose one, but I am sure it's baller. The fact that they use the best ingredients, essential oils, and such, instead of merely dousing their candles with perfume, pretty much guarantees that whatever they lay their hands on will be stellar.
