You can also go to fragrantica and look at similar perfumes, it has a way bigger database

I have a few of those! My favourite is the Pendora one, you'd probably recognise it as the one with, for some strange and unknown reason, the picture of Che Guevara on the bottle. It smells like sticky clove rolling tobacco on me till it dries down, and that dry down is gorgeous too.

The Maison Alhambra clone of Tobacco Vanille isn't bad either, but not one of their best imo.

Ngl, I like clones. I'm into perfume for the sensory experience, and while I have a good few spenny bottles, most of my collection is clones and vintage classics.

The Aquatic that started them all.

Alas this one never worked on me, it goes sour for some reason.

I never kept up with Narscisco Rodriguez after For Her for some reason, I just looked up the notes for this one though and it looks like a flanker- and it has ylang ylang, so I don't doubt it smells gorgeous!

Do you wear scents too, or just the wife?

I do love me some Calvin Klein, their women's scents rarely work on me but their men's tend to be very unisex I've found. The men's flanker of Obsession Night was a cool recent discovery, it smells like if Black Orchid was pear gummy sweets!

My mother collected but rarely wore perfume, my favourite of hers that she kept on her dresser but never wore, was Red Door by Elizabeth Arden. It reminds me more of the dresser than her though tbh.

Which Poison is your poison? There's so many flankers and reformulations out now it's hard to keep track.

I like this one too! Got it in my christmas stocking last year

The blackcurrant is so pretty in La Vie!

I had a bunch of Replica samples thrown in as freebees not too long ago, the one that smells like a tomato plant on a hot day was incredible. It's not something I could wear on my skin but just the sheer sensory experience of it off a blotter, it was like I was momentarily teleported to some fantasy allotment in the middle of summer, to help harvest an abundance of tomatos.

I just looked Hwyl up and those notes look so good, I'm ordering a sample. I'm still quite new to green leather fragrances and I love getting to explore like this!

Echt Kölnisch Wasser is beautiful, it's so fresh and light. I got through a bottle of that stuff in weeks a few summers ago, it's so easy to keep topping up every few hours.

Does your Cuir Vanille have a pineapple top note? I have a couple of unbranded dupes with that name and they both smell like the clone of BDK Creme de Cuir that I have, Meringue by French Avenue.

Oooh, thank you! I keep missing these posts.
