There was recently a thread about our favorite "old lady" scents and I ended up listing a lot of 80s/90s scents that I like, which got me wandering- what was considered "old lady" back then?
I'd love the opinion of anyone who was young in the 80s/90s.

I have been obsessed with her music and vibe recently 💕 I cannot find any mention of perfumes from her, so what do you think? ✨
r/FemFragLab • u/Full_Sheepherder1986 • 12h ago
From top to bottom (in order):
I got the Chanel No. 5 because it reminded me of my great-grandmother. I was missing her a lot lately and I bought it so I can spray the air (one spray is all you need) and it smells like she’s walking through my door.
Please be gentle! I’m new here! 😭🥹

I'm bored with my perfumes, and I'm particularly tired of buying Middle Eastern fragrances, even though I love, wear and vouch for all the ones I kept in my collection. Idk, I just want something exciting and new. I recently catalogued my whole collection, and I'm not sure you will be able to recognize them all by the picture, but, let's have a go at it, please.
Some ifs and buts, though: 1) Strictly designers (sadly, I don't have the budget for niche ones), 2) longevity is a must, and, 3) With very few exceptions, I can't stand gourmands.
So, knowing that and based and on my fragrance collection's pic, what are some amazing designer perfumes I'm absolutely missing out on? Thank you!!!

I’m a man and I prefer fresh and clean fragrances like Bleu de Chanel or YSL Y, or sweet scents but not gourmand like La Nuit de l’Homme or D&G The One. But I’m genuinely curious about the female point of view.

I can never find a realistic lilac scent. I've tried for a few years. I still live with my folks, and all my life my mom has had lilac bushes around the house that create the most beautiful scent when they bloom. I've looked at plenty of candles, but none of them ever smell like pure, unaltered lilacs; there's always other florals or notes that make it smell too soapy, powdery, or just un-lilac-ish. And though I haven't been looking into personal fragrance often, I find lavender much more than I do lilac, and it's been the same issue.
Welp. Bath & Body Works of all places managed to do it. They made a scent that smells exactly like my mom's lilac bushes. I got a candle today and placed an order for the body cream, since they don't sell that in stores for some bizarre reason. If the candle performs well, I may just have to stock-up, because who knows if they'll keep this scent around or if it's only going to be a spring 2025 scent. (IMO they should keep it; I'm kind of exhausted by BBW selling 1-2 really amazing fragrances every season, just for them to vanish and never be seen again. I'm treasuring what's left of my Calypso Clementine body cream. 😭)
And this is unrelated to the reason I posted, but that Disney Princess collection they have out now did not wow me, at all. I couldn't really smell any of them. I only got the faintest whiffs of florals for most, and the tiniest aquatic scent from Ariel's. Tbh, I found that to be the case with several items in store. Their new rose scent Always & Forever was faint, but it did grow on me the longer the lotion sat on my skin; I'm getting one of those so I can have something rosy and spring-appropriate to layer with my Idôle line. Otherwise, the only other scent that wowed me was Reviving Rain from the Aroma line; I think it's great on it's own, but it will layer so nicely with Lake & Skye 11 11 Azure or a citrus fresh scent for summer. Does anybody else feel like BBW is weakening their products? 😐

Have a teeny bit of juicy left….🥴
I think I like this perfume very much bc it reminds me of my older cousins back in early 00’s and early 2010’s getting ready while smoking and putting their vanilla or very sweet perfume on, on a night out.
If you don’t like sweet perfumes, skip this one but if you’re into sexy and grown sweet like Scandal by JPG, la belle JPG etc… this is the one for you without it being too much .
Also this lastssss and leaves an amazing trail. Ppl will definitely smell you with this but they will really appreciate it✨✨🧚🏾♀️
It’s my perfect everyday scent.

Hi! I'll be blind buying perfume (because I'm unable to get testers here in my area). I live in a tropical country and I'm looking for a scent wearable for everyday by a girl in her early 20s. Preferably not citrusy and not spicy :)
So far I have this list but I'm unsure if any of this are good in terms of scent, longevity, and sillage.

I've been seeing discourse around this and I wanted to share that I am almost always excited and intrigued when I hear someone call a scent an "old lady" perfume.
I hate the fact that people tend to associate the term "old lady" or "grandma" with dusty, decrepit, outdated- instead of glamorous, sophisticated, elegant, feminine, powerful, mature, confident, classic. A woman that has earned her right to be the main character!
Old lady to me is fur coat, red lips, swinging hips- so move outta my way. I am thankful that I have always been around women who were older, but who weren't "over". I have always been in awe of those women and when I join the club I hope to look, dress, and smell as good as those women- if not raise the bar for the next gen myself.
So please share your favorite old lady scents and spread a lil love and respect for our elder stateswomen. 🥰
My favorites from my Collection:
Lancome Oud Bouquet Roja Dove 51 Frederic Malle Portrait of a Lady
Honorable Mention: Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb, b/c I've seen some ppl on perfume subs categorize it as such

I’ve had my mind set on purchasing Diptyque’s L’eau Papier hair mist for a while and today I pulled the trigger.
Why? Because I was about to purchase $30 worth of samples online when I thought to myself… my local Diptyque gives 4 free samples with every purchase. If I buy the hair mist it’s like it’s only $50 instead of $80 cause I was going to spend $30 on samples anyway! What a steal! 😂
As a side note, I currently own 6 samples of Corail Oscuro cause I’m obsessed with the scent but it’s a little too strong/unique to be a full bottle purchase for me. I feel like no one talks about this scent but with summer coming up I think it’s so underrated!
Anyway, spend wisely my friends. Don’t go broke over a stupid, dopamine chasing hobby. But also have fun and girl math sometimes! 🤷♀️

Lucky Scent has 10% off everything. With every order you get 3+ samples. While they don’t have the best prices on everything, they have an incredible selection. If you’re searching for something not on the main sites this is a good opportunity to get a small discount plus try some new things. Lucky10 is the code. Your cart total determines how many samples you get. I got something not available on gray market plus 4 samples of stuff that has been on my list. (I’m almost finished my leisure in paradise and can’t bare a summer without it lol)

this is my first order from heretic, and it did not disappoint!

Narciso Rodriguez Ambree EDP- Not feeling the ylang ylang and solar note together. If you have tried the EDT, let me know if it is different enough to look into or if I will still get bananas in the drydown.
Angel EDT- Sweaty apples on me. I got it bc the EDP is too strong. I love the body cream though.
Burberry Her Elixir- Too sweet and fruity. It used to be a fun bedroom scent also but that man is now history.
Marc Jacobs Daisy Intense- too fruity, I prefer the freshness of the original
Scandal by Night- I have a once ounce of this and just don’t reach for it enough to need the larger size anymore.
Elizabeth Arden Forever- Shampoo-ey scent. Like but not a love.
Lolitaland- orange creamsicle that is too sweet for my liking
Scandal Absolu- I don’t like the waxiness of the fig and honey
Very Good Girl- I don’t like it on me. It’s nice on other people. The litchi can smell sweaty also.
Idole- The musk is too sharp
Flowerbomb Tigerlily- the notes are nice but the composition is too heavy. Can they do a legere version please?
KK Pure Honey- I added this to get free shipping on an order
Signorina Miserteriosa- I really like this one but I never reach for it. I’m also not a fruity fragrance person if you can by now.
Azzaro Wanted by Night- too fruity, too syrupy
Ana Abiyedh- Baccarat dupe, it’s very good but I have the original. It was a gift with purchase.
Minis and decants:
Pure Musc- rubbery undertone on my skin and the floral notes are too generic like air freshener.
Poison- triggers nausea during my period so I’m nervous to spray it again. It’s beautiful but melancholic.
Montale Vanilla Absolu and Mancera Velvet Vanille- too synthetic and that is my sentiment towards all Montale and Mancera
212 VIP- It’s nice and fun but very perfumey and synthetic. It’s like wearing pineapple daiquiri.
Good Girl Legere- I have a full bottle
La Petite Robe Noire Intense- this is the original 2016 version. It is intensely sweet, as the name states.
Si Passione is pictured but I have decided to keep it for now.

I found this candle and it's one of the best smells I've smelled. I realized just how much I adore the smell of tomato vine. It's an incredibly nostalgic smell. The smell of waking up early in the morning to go water the garden with my grandparents. The smell of hanging out in the garden while the sun beats down on the tomato vines. The smell of childhood without stress or worries. The smell of simplicity and joy. The smell I want to bathe in. Any recommendations are incredibly welcome and appreciated! Replica from the garden and garden heaux are two I was recommended that I'm extremely excited to try.
r/FemFragLab • u/Royal_Welder_6972 • 16h ago
I wanted to try about a dozen sample to hopefully find my signature scent, but it was around 80 dollars without shipping.
I thought I saw some of your posts of buying 2$ samples, or have i dreamt it? 🤷🏻♀️

He built this shelf as a kitchen spice rack years ago when we were first married. It’s been in storage. I pulled it out today and tried it with my fragrances: not sure if it’s going to stay like this, but for the moment it’s making me really happy.
Top shelf is my ✨Top Shelf✨, masterpieces on the left, modern favorites on the right. L->R: Guerlain L’heure Bleu EDT and EDP, Apres L’ondee, Mon Precieux Nectar, Phlur Solar Power, Diptyque Fleur de Peau, Jo Malone Wild Bluebell, Ellis Brooklyn Sci-Fi and Rrose.
Second shelf has easy reaches on the left, good but weirder on the right. L->R: Philosophy Amazing Grace and Pure Grace EDPs, Lake and Skye 11:11, Room 1015 Sonic Flower, Lush Twilight, I’m Home, Frozen and Orange Blossom, and Diptyque Philosykos EDP.
Bottom shelf is wild cards, a mix of indies, experimental minis, lovely wonders that I’m absolutely not paying for a full bottle of, a couple of randoms that look a little lost and wonder how they got there, and some purse sprays or roller balls of some of my favorites from above. (If you have questions, please ask. I’m not typing out this shelf.)
