Scented Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Just got a load in today. My God there's some great men's fragrances there. Euphoria is totally *faint* .Looking at the Burberry and maybe some philosophy dupes. Anyone used them and can make a comparison? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks on the others, because I think I need to order and get more schtuff.Amazing Grace, Baby and Pure ... how floral and powdery are they? Or are they?

mystical_angel1219 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I've got over a dozen scents from her- PM me if you are curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel91805 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Oh man, I suck at describing scents. Have you smelled the originals?Let's see....Amazing Grace is sort of fresh and clean with a hint, just a hint, of floralBaby Grace is fresh and clean...some say w/ a hint of powder... *I* get jasmine....which makes it my favorite Pure Grace is fresh and clean like soap and water freshI used to be a philosophy ho before I started doing this myself. LOL. I'm sure FBD's Falling in Love is good too.....I just abhored the original, so never have ordered it. Maybe someone that does better describing scents will chime in.....

mystical_angel1219 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I haven't put descriptions into words, as scent perception is extremely subjective. Plus it would require too much typing. HA HA!!I will say this, her Jo Malone dupes are simply magnifique! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 6, 2007 Author Share Posted December 6, 2007 LOL! People here tend to say Jo who? But the philosophy stuff might be of interest ... at least give the Falling in Lurve some company, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tereasa Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Hey Scented, do you have black code or do you want some? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 I have it, but wasn't sure what others thought of it. I'll still use it, but not sure what I think of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel91805 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Well, Mr. Brown Britches finally showed up with my order. Julie.....OMG.....Euphoria.... DH walked by, sniffed, and placed an order. YUMMAH! That man is in trouble now. Hehehe.Black Code. Hmpf. I don't know. I keep sniffing it. I've never smelled the original so can't compare if it's accurate or not....and it does match it's description of lemon, bergamont, hints of orange etc. Don't get me wrong...I think I like it...very clean....but I'm thinking I used to have a furniture polish that smelled similar. :tiptoe: :tiptoe: :tiptoe: <gasp! Did she really say that about Armani? Dude should have stuck w/ suits!>Oh...I also got Cherry Blossom.....it's VERY nice.....and I can't keep my nose out of Very Sexy for Her. Hehehe.Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 Told you about Euphoria A gal at work smelled it and wouldn't let it go. I think it's definitely a hot one. Must see how Rockin reacts to it. I think I really need to get out to the malls more often lol! Here I skipped on the Irish Spring for a second order, but I think I completed my list of intrigue.

Groovy Chic Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Baby Grace - you must have this one. I went back and ordered a lb of this one. It's going in cp after Xmas.Amazing Grace - also nice but I'm not an Amazing Grace fan really. Black Code - I only had a one ouncer so I didn't have enough to play with. I wasted it on a candle. I say wasted because it doesn't throw at all in my soyblend.Nectarine Blossom & Honey - also had a 1 ouncer and I put it in a lotion and spray perfume. Ooh, I love this one too. I must order more and try it in soap. It's awesome in lotion. Vera Wang Princess - Love this one too. Went back for a pound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 Ooops I passed on Baby Grace because I expected a lot of powder smell. Will have to contemplate doing that one at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FragranceOilHeaven Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Oh Julie!! I personally love the Baby Grace (and no not because I'm preggo!) It has just the right amount of powder! It's a really pretty scent...very innocent!! KimFragrance Oil Heaven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 Ok, Ok, Ok!! Next go around and I'll try it! She was too quick in sending my order. I mean blink and it was on it's way so I can't ask her to add it now unless she has one heck of an arm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Mae Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I can't speak for the other fragrances but I just got all 3 of the Philosophy dupes. I normally wear Philosophy Pure Grace as perfume, I don't know if I can say the dupe is dead on, but it is good. I just cp'ed with it this weekend and both my batches failed miserably lol. Let me say though that it was a new receipe I tried as well as my second time soaping (1st time went perfect lol). I am going to try again tomorrow. Amazing and Baby Grace smell dead on OOB. I am going to revisit Pure Grace because that is my fave and I really wanted it in soap and lotion/body butter.Glad to hear all the other reviews as well!
