to me it’s like a cold salty tuberose-gasoline scent! interesting how differently people perceive things!
ps. i think i mentioned this years ago but i’m still waiting for someone to do an amazing stephanotis scent. with that super unique spicy bubblegum yet jasminy smell…it’s so amazing! maybe i should work on that myself!

I wish it read as sinister to me…but so glad you love it!

re-visited guerlain jardins de bagatelle and carolina herrera. both have a lovely tuberose as the main note, but both have that transparent-synthetic-fresh-sweet note that was very prevalent in the 80s (think giorgio beverly hills). not into. still loving beyond love…it’s green, as opposed to hot pink like many tuberoses. green but dark. like CF’s more sinister older sister!

Yes, yes yes! I forgot about I Profumi di Firenze Magnolia Dolce. But, what I do with it is a I use L'Erbolario Magnolia body cream and then use Magnolia Dolce overtop.

ElizabethW Magnolia is nice, but, it is weaker than my “concoction” .

Try L'Erbolario Magnolia. It smells like the real thing.

I was born in Mississippi (state flower: Magnolia). I was raised in Southern Illinois, in a small town where magnolia trees lined the streets. I love the scent of a real magnolia. For me, the closest I have ever come to this in fragrance is L'Erbolario Magnolia.

i just recently found beyond love and i am in love! it's much simpler than fracas, much less sparkling, much warmer and saltier. if fracas is champagne, beyond love is red wine. or something like that. (maybe CF would be prosecco or cava, and TC would be something that you can't drink – gasoline that morphs into sherry?)

another note about beyond love: i love that the price ensures that almost no one else will be wearing it…hahaha

hmm, i need to smell renee, have never done so, and find amarige very pretty but too sweet.

i also want to re-visit guerlain jardins du bagatelle. i remember it from my childhood and am so curious to see if i still love it.

I can't picture it over the Hermes, but might be worth giving it a shot over the Prada. Guessing you'll need only the very tiniest little bit of the Prada — maybe spray it onto your finger so you can just dab a touch on your wrist to test w/ the Ellie. Bear in mind that even many layering combos that work well together don't always smell fabulous in the first 5 minutes.

Sorry, I also bought (and wore once or twice) Eau D'Hermes.
