    Feve Delicieuse is not Discontinued - I can but it in my Dior Boutique and online.

    • @rd5469
      @rd5469 11 месяцев назад

      It’s discontinued in the States. I called Dior because I bought a bottle and got an email saying they ran out. I wanted to make sure I was on the waitlist. This was like 8 months ago, they only had 200ml’s for sale, and I didn’t want to spend that much. If your local boutique has it they won’t be getting more restocked after they run out. You should buy a bottle and sell it online in a couple years it will be worth at least double.

      I have a little sample of Alexandrea's version of this, and at first sniff, I hated it.
      Took six months or so and I almost started to like it, haven't tried it in a good six months we'll see.

      Feve Delicieuse in its current iteration is not worth purchasing anyway. Astringent herbal lavender, sour cherries, cakey iris baby powder and vanilla. The original formula from between 2015 -2017 is a completely different fragrance. Velvety, chocolatey, sweet, sticky and dessert-like.

I am quite worried about my holy bottle of sacred Hommage A L'Homme by Lalique, The Fragrance Jesus prescribed potion of awesomness. It is so mature and classy. Fahrenheit is that masculine skilled mechanic after shower. Hommage A L homme is the owner of not the workshop, but the car company. And of course, the bottle... The bottle should be in an art museum. Cheers, George.

    been wanting to try Slumberhouse for ages but like you said they are the most mysterious frag indie house ever. Their website has no info except the option to get on their mailing list, which I am, but you never get any email from them. You seldom see their frags for sale because as soon as there is some available it's out of stock and they are very expensive. On resale, if you can find it, they are even more expensive for tiny bottles usually in the hundreds. Since it's also almost impossible to get decants of them there is no way I'll spend $200 to 500, or more, for 10 mls to try them and from what I understand the formulations often change when they make new batches I won't pay that much just to satisfy my curiosity.

    I adore Tobacco Vanille, it's my favourite scent ever. I'd say I wear it quite a bit but still made just a little dent in my 100ml bottle in the 3 years I've had it. I hope it's gonna take a while before I get through it all. 😀

    I finished a few bottles this year:
    ADG Profumo, Givenchy Gentlemen Only, and TF Oud Wood (replaced with Borouj Lamasat Oud). Like you, I’ve put a decent dent in Zaharoff Tabac, but I the next two that will likely be emptied are Ben Sherman Signature (budget Ombre Leather) and D&G The One EDP! I’ll likely replenish The One, and wind up upgrading the Ben Sherman!

    I almost finished up my bottle of Guerlain's Vetiver which will probably be done by next summer. I already bought a backup in the form of a 200 ml vintage bottle. So, I should be set for a while.
    Also, I highly recommend getting Nasomatto's Pardon. I bought it this year and after comparing it side-by-side to No Apologies... it's not even close. For being a "clone" I was actually surprised at how dissimilar it was from Pardon. Pardon is head-and-shoulders superior in every way. It is the logical replacement for LIDGE and a step up in quality as well.

    My first ever solo fragrance purchase, Aventus clone, but probably wouldn’t rebuy. I would probably invest in a bottle of CDNIM limited edition parfum or another aventus clone.
