Newbie here! Would love recommendations based off of notes I like!
Bich Hang Pham posted a topic in Recommendations
Never tried BPAL before and the overwhelming scent catalog makes it hard to sift through everything to see what I might like, so I'd love to be recommended some scents from you all! Sorry if I'm going into way too much detail. o_O Overall I like gourmands, fruits, florals, skin-like scents, aquatics... For specific perfumes: Darling Clandestine Harpy (coconut, lime, rum, sea salt, milk) Haus of Gloi Olde Cider Haus (old oak, drying hay fields, crushed apple pulp, vanilla bean husks) Haus of Gloi Spider Silk (water mint, grey musk, amber, oakmoss, torchwood, copaiba resin, violet leaf) Haus of Gloi Cozy Sweater (Pale skin musk, faded perfume, Egyptian amber, softly burning nag champa incense and a fine aged vanilla.) Haus of Gloi Ghost Puffs (toasted marshmallow, popcorn) Sixteen92 Black Sugar (Spun brown sugar, red berries, vanilla and tonka bean absolute dance with a sprinkle of dirt, a swirl of cauldron smoke, and a drop of bittersweet cocao absolute.) Sixteen92 Boardwalk (Coconut pulp, coconut milk, Coppertone, sand, sea breeze, driftwood, melted vanilla ice cream cone, sticky cotton candy) Smelly Yeti Not the Bees (sweet confection of candied honey and honeysuckle, punctuated by the faintest hint of citrus and underscored with smooth vanilla.) NAVA Crystalline (A thick viscous Vanilla that comes on soft and subtle then creates a cacophony of a beautiful cloud of vanilla purity. It is not a food vanilla, but a vanilla that makes you feel at peace, tranquil and right with the world.) Solstice Scents White Fox (Vanilla Musk, White Fur, Wood Blend, Frozen Dirt, Snow) Possets Sex In Heaven (Coconut, vanillas (two fabulous types: Mexican and Tahitian), and a lashing of sandalwood. Glory, this is heaven!) Darling Clandestine Tapadero (Bold and bright sage and roses, dusky sweet smoke and leather. Unisex. Very clean, very cuddly, fresh but comforting—open spaces and worn saddles.) Darling Clandestine (crisp, green, ethereal tea fragrance with a little opium bite) What's on my BPAL wishlist: Mouse Circus Miskatonic University Anyway, here are a bunch of notes I like so far: Gourmand/Foody: popcorn cotton candy coffee (I love the smell of freshly grinded coffee beans as well as brewed coffee) green tea vanilla chocolate marshmallow honey cream (like ice cream, whipped cream) Fruits: most fruits, but I especially like coconut Florals: any florals, expect probably lavender? Atmospheric: aquatic notes like sea salt, ozone, ocean, etc. (although I'd like to avoid notes like seaweed) rain/petrichor grass dirt vanilla smoke/bonfire Things I don't like or I think I don't like: spices (I can deal with a small hint of spices, but I prefer none!), I avoid all perfumes that sound like it would be even moderately spicy. earth-y notes (I haven't tried many perfumes containing notes like myrrh, moss, patchouli, labdanum, tobacco, anise etc. and would rather avoid them for now) scents that sound like they're too "dark", incense-y, wood-y. Please recommend your favourites too and you don't necessarily have to restrict recommendations to notes I like! -

Thanks so much everyone for your recommendations, I'll take some time to sift through and see what I like and I'll pop into the Sales part of the forum some time!
