Tema blackberry gucci

After working in beauty and having access to most of the basic department store fragrances, I became sick of the gender marketed, sweet AF options at my disposal and dipped my toes into learning perfumery. It's a slow and expensive hobby, so I began dabbling in niche fragrance while learning my craft. My latest venture has been clones. I received these today. The only one I hated was the Niche Pink Coral- which is fair because whatever I hate about it also exists in a few of the Chanel's it is said to clone.
They haven't had time to macerate, so I only have first impressions:
Lalique Amethyst: Blackberries, black currant... Slightly jammy but not overly so because there's a fresh green note. A little bit pissy at first, but that's the nature of dark berries. I don't have Parfums de Marly's Meliora to compare it to, but when it dries down, it was very much like Gucci Absolute Pour Femme, but slightly less soapy, which is what I had hoped for. Definitely suits my vibe, which is generally dark and edgy but a bit feminine. This would easily layer with something else, skewing it more traditionally feminine or masculine. The bottle feels good in the hand and doesn't look as cheap as it does in promotional photos. 3.5/5
Afnan Modest Doux (pour femme): Another beauty of a bottle. This one gives Lancome La Nuit Tresor for sure, which I already own. It's a little sweet for my liking, but I might try layering it with something deeper and smokier. I don't know what it smells like, aside from a hit of ethyl maltol and a bit of rose and musk. If you like La Nuit Tresor, I imagine you'd quite like this and the bottle is so pretty that I may just keep it around. 3/5
Lattafa Fakhar Rose: To be honest I thought the bottle looked cheap online. It is much nicer looking in person, with a nice weight to it. It's a quite nice but generic scent very similar to Scandal, Paradox, or Wanted By Night Girl. It reminds me of the pink children's chewable Tylenol, but in the best way. Regardless, another citrus, white flower, patchouli situation and I've always wanted one of the aforementioned fragrances and am satisfied to have this one to scratch the itch. It is said to be a dupe of Givenchy's L'Interdit, which I have... There's a similarity, but no. L'Interdit is more complex and sophisticated, IMO. It may be more similar to L'Interdit Rouge, but still not a dead ringer for the same reasons. 4/5
Lattafa Qaed Al Fursan (for men): I had my eye on this one for a while. I had heard it was like pineapple from a can and smoke, which I thought has a ton of layering potential. I did like it, but it either needs to macerate or I am anosmic to it, because it was very very faint. I did make out a pineapple and synthetic bandaid-likw agararwood- a note I honestly enjoy. But zero volume thus far. I saw it was supposed to be a dupe for a few things. I once went on a few dates with a guy who wore Creed Aventus and he smelled way better than this, though I do like it. I haven't smelled Nishane Hacivat to compare. The bottle isn't my esthetic because I find horses creepy, but it looks and feels like quality. 3.4/5
Armaf Niche Pink Coral: While the last fragrance lacked volume and projection, this one was a monster. It filled the main floor of my house for at least twenty minutes. Unfortunately it's a scent I do not love. Along the vein of Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle or Coco Noir. I think it does this kind of scent well, but unfortunately I can't give you an analysis because this type of scent is so repellent to me. Powdery... Your friends grandmother in the 90s. Headache. Yet a lot of people enjoy this now. The packaging and bottle were nice. 2/5 (because even though I hate it, I think the quality is there)
Lalique Ecre Noire (for men): The reason for my order. I love the bottle. It's weighty and the cap is a nice representation of wood. The scent? It did not disappoint. I believe it'll get better with maceration, too. It's very earthy, dark, and woody. Cypress green opening, a lot of dark Vetiver... It doesn't seem to be listed but I thought it smelled a lot like guiacwood. I've heard it's similar to Chanel's Sycomore, but I have yet to try that one. Ecre Noire did not disappoint. It's gives the witch-of-the-woods vibe I was looking for. I think it'll be lovely on its own or layered, depending on season, outfit, and mood. I would be interested to try the flankers. 4.5/5

Hello, lovely community! I’m looking for suggestions of fragrances to sample and find something new and exciting for spring and summer.
My non-negotiable passes are citrus spicy groups and predominantly white floral fragrances. I’ve always loved coconut, vanilla and aquatic/marine notes. Recently, I’ve been enjoying sweet fruity (but light and green or lactonic rather than heavy floral). I enjoy trying slightly ‘weirder’ or not straightforward feminine scents despite my love for creamy vanilla so I’m open to hearing your suggestions!
My list of enjoyments and passes:

/Like - enjoy enough to own and wear when I’m a specific mood/ Ariana Grande Cloud Pink Juliette Has a Gun Vanilla Vibes Malin+Goetz Strawberry Juliette Has a Gun Not a Perfume Zara Black Amber Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Mirto di Panarea Burberry Her EDP Kayali Eden Sparkling Lychee
/Meh - forgettable and I probably don’t remember what it smells like/ Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche Giorgio Armani Si Commodity Book Ariana Grande Mod Vanilla DSQUARED2 She Wood Velvet Forest Wood Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa ‘59 Prada Prada Candy
/Dislike - don’t want to smell like this but I tolerate it on someone else/ Juliette Has a Gun Lust for Sun Juliette Has a Gun Sunny Side Up Gucci Gucci Bloom Hermès Eau des Merveilles Giorgio Armani My Way Yves Saint Laurent Libre Issey Miyake A Drop d’Issey Commodity Gold Commodity Moss Commodity Paper Jo Malone Blackberry & Bay Hermès Un Jardin Sur Le Nil Tom Ford Bitter Peach Tom Ford Oud Wood Britney Spears Fantasy Chloé Chloe

Spring is approaching so I'm coming at you with a belated tray challenge for spring florals, created by u/BLACKBEARDBLACKBEARD.
I'm in northern Europe so spring is later here anyway, in fact it is supposed to snow tomorrow. But my tray is ready for spring!
From left to right:
Sí Fiori - Armani: Creamy florals with vanilla and citrus. One of my favorites.
Feerie - Van Cleef & Arpels : Musky violet and iris with berries coming through. Smells as ethereal as the bottle looks.
Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia : White florals meets brown sugar. Wearing this today.
Gucci Flora EdT: Incredibly special osmanthus fragrance. I like to wear this on walls after the rain has fallen in late spring/early summer, just when all the flowers blooms at their fullest.
And my little trinket consists of:
Blackberry Lily oil - The 7 virtues: Blackberries and lilies as the name suggests, with a hint of caramel. I love this fragrance and I never want to run out of it, so I have a few backups.
Wild Vanilla Orchid - Floral Street: A green vanilla that is easy to wear. Pleasant, but not very complex.
Mojave Ghost - Byredo: Woody soapy magnolias. Smells like you just got out of the shower using fancy floral soap.
Wild Bluebell - Jo Malone : Dewy spring forest flowers, with a hint of watermelon even though it's not mentioned in the notes. A spring fragrance through and through.
J'adore d'Eau - Dior: I find that this is much smoother and more soothing than the original. Alchohol free, so great for bed when you don't want anything heavy. Makes me feel so clean and calm.
Feel free to comment any questions you might have. And please post your spring floral trays, I wanna see them!! ✿
