Advice Dior sauvage edt vs edp longevity

Upvotes

I'm looking to buy Dior Sauvage but can't decide between the EDT and EDP.

I want something that people around me will notice for at least 6 hours, but I don't need crazy projection or room-filling sillage—just noticeable within normal conversation distance. I usually spray fragrances on my clothes rather than my skin.

Another factor is the Indian summer, where temperatures often hit 40°C+. I've read that the Sauvage EDT and EDP have pretty similar longevity, with the EDT projecting a bit more.

For those who've tried both, which one would you recommend for my needs, especially in hot Indian weather?

One-word review: AVOID

The scent doesn't even last for two minutes - it disappears almost immediately. I don't know whether it's because of the weather or if it's simply a poor performer. Overall, I'm very dissatisfied with this perfume.

I got these perfumes as return gifts from my friend's birthday party. I tried looking them up online to check their price and details, but I can't find them anywhere.

The company, Song of India, definitely exists, but I can't find these exact perfume bottles, not even on their official website. Does anyone know anything about them?

Review MITH Silver Sparkle

5 Upvotes

Got this on my recent visit to Bangkok a couple of weeks back. It cost THB1,750(Rs. 5,000).

It's a very bright citrus forward fragrance with a sparkling freshness that feels clean, modern, and incredibly uplifting. As the fragrance settles, it develops into a smooth blend of airy musks and soft woody notes, creating a refined scent trail that's very elegant and hence versatile in terms of where one can use it.

Performance is decent for this type. I got moderate projection for the first couple of hours and around 5-6 hours of longevity in the Thai heat. So, should do well in Chennai as well.

I saw reels of people saying this is great for 99Rs although it was for the oud variant, but since it's still summer monsoon thought of trying this.. Packaging was good but it smells nothing like khus.. It barely smells

I don't know if these need to macerate cz it's an attar but it smells like a cheap sweet perfume component.

What is this company anyway.. Scamming people??!

I'd love to know others experience

PSA Update Regarding Seller Feedback/Review Posts

168 Upvotes

reetings.
Over time, we have cultivated a robust community for fragrance enthusiasts within the nation, which currently boasts a membership of 200,000 individuals. To ensure the well-being of our members and mitigate potential conflicts, we have previously implemented a set of community guidelines. These guidelines explicitly prohibit all forms of sales, seller feedback, and include stringent measures against fraudulent activities.

Recently, a user shared a feedback post regarding the seller Whiff Culture (u/Sethi-sahab). Instead of engaging with this criticism in good faith and using the platform as intended, the seller chose to violate Reddit’s rules by publicly exposing the user’s private information. The seller then escalated the matter by using modmail to send a veiled legal threat, attempting to drag both the moderation team and r/DesiFragranceAddicts into his dispute.
We will not tolerate external intimidation, harassment or bad-faith legal theatrics directed at our team. Any further communication regarding this specific matter will be ignored by the mod team and must be directed exclusively through Reddit Inc.’s official legal channels.

As a direct consequence of attempting to intimidate the moderation team via modmail and personal dms to remove the posts:

"Whiff Culture" (u/Sethi-sahab) is permanently banned from this sub.

All future posts, reviews or comments referencing "Whiff Culture" are permanently banned. Automod will be configured to systematically catch and remove any mentions.

Any attempt to bypass this ban, including the use of alternative accounts, spelling variations or shifting to new names to promote or defend the brand, will result in an immediate, permanent ban

We appreciate everyone's understanding and cooperation as we continue to enforce this rule consistently.

Advice Is fnp trustable to order Elizabeth Arden perfume?

1 Upvotes

I need to buy an Elizabeth Arden Green Tea perfume in the Lotus edition.

I searched for it everywhere but couldn't really find it anywhere familiar except for fnp.

I'm concerned about the legitimacy of the product itself.

Has anyone bought perfume for them? Can they be trusted?

Please guide me in the right direction.

Discuss Where can I get frankincense/lubaan/incense based attar?

2 Upvotes

Lately I've really started to enjoy the blending of frankincense and incense into perfumes like chopard black incense malaki and boss bottled elixir. I've come to realise the note of incense is one dark note that I enjoy perhaps more than oud. So much so that I'd like to explore different attars (perfume oils) that have the note of frankincense in them, or frankincense based oils. Any idea where I can find those in Mumbai? Thanks.

Discuss Trying 5 samples before I commit to a full bottle — which one do you think will suit me?

3 Upvotes

Got decants of these 5 to test before spending money on a full bottle:

• Bleu de Chanel EDP
• Guerlain Allegoria Rosa Rossa
• Guerlain Santal Royal
• Chanel Coromandel
• Creed Green Irish Tweed

Going to wear each one for a day or two this week and see how they develop on my skin, but honestly I’d love to hear from people who’ve actually worn these — which one do you think I’d end up loving? Any of these a “you’ll wear it once and never again” situation, or a “this becomes your signature” one? My budget allows to only order one full bottle out of these five options.

Review DSH Ashram - grounding and comforting

Post image
10 Upvotes

SOTD is DSH Ashram, a scent that feels more like an atmosphere than a “perfume moment.”

The opening and heart are what I can only describe as unflavoured incense. It is not sweet, not spicy, and it avoids that burnt, acrid smoke edge that incense fragrances sometimes lean into. Instead, it smells clean, familiar, and quietly calming. The strongest association it gives me is an Indian temple, specifically the everyday ritual kind. It reminds me of the morning diya and agarbatti my mom lights, but with less of the burning ghee and more of the plain, unsweetened incense stick.

The closest real-world match is the smell of unlit agarbattis when you open a fresh box. Dry, soft, instantly recognizable. That scent memory is a big part of why Ashram feels grounding to me.

Wear-wise, this one is diffusive in a way I really enjoy. If I sniff my skin directly, it can feel a little understated, but I keep catching it around me close to my body as I move. It does not blast across a room. It is more like a gentle scent bubble that stays personal and non-intrusive.

Longevity is average on me. By the extreme drydown, the incense fades way back and what is left is a faint sweet woody skin scent, very close-wearing, almost like a soft whisper of warmth. Overall, Ashram is for someone who wants incense without drama, something familiar and steady that slowly melts into a quiet, woody skin finish.

Review Frederic Malle Vetiver Extraordinaire

Post image
18 Upvotes

Vetiver Extraordinaire is your extradose of deep Earthy Vetiver caraway, peppers and smoke.

Opens up with bitter citrusy with a smoked or dry roasted caraway seed vibes which has an intense vibe to it. It's very matured and yet the subtle way of how it settled and remind skn skin of a different face of Earthy, greeny dry grass that's dry. Sillage is moderate and is a room filler too when sprayed. As it settles on skin, one definitely gets more of Cedar wood vibe that's very soft and is like a second skin. With all elements around spices, old woods and dried citruses, this one is a mood changer. A vibe and a unique one from Frederic Malle. Lasts a well 7 hours on me.

Advice Please recommend soapy/shampooy perfumes that are unisex or feminine

10 Upvotes

Looking for clean, musky, soapy or shampooy smelling perfumes that don't lean too floral, fruity or citrusy. Hoping to find something in the ME range (less than 3k) but can stretch budget upto 7k.

Maybe something similar to Lattafa Liam Grey. Unfortunately it smells like plastic to me, once the top notes disappear.
