    I adore Angelique Noire and Babycat! Guidance I completely get the hate on because I lowkey hate it up close but I still reach for it on occasion cuz the sillage is intoxicating. Some popular ones I wouldn’t buy are Bianco Latte, Hibiscus Mahajad, Burberry Goddess and Her Elixir. I’ve decided I wouldn’t buy Blanche Bête because I don’t even reach for my decant with my favs around but I’d accept it as a gift hehe ✨

I just got my hands on a La Capitale decant. I’m still “dating” it. I don’t hate it but I don’t know if I love it either 🤔. I just decluttered all but 4 of my Middle Eastern fragrances. I had 17. I just couldn’t. That synthetic smell that permeates almost all of them is a no for me. I didn’t care for Angelique Noire or Tobacco Honey either. I do own and enjoy the first Cloud and Another 13. As for Babycat, she’s BAE ❤❤❤. I was absolutely intoxicated at first spray. 🥰

    Ok I just got into the middle eastern fragrances now that I have more than 20 of the niche/designer fragrances that I love and must have. For me there’s fragrances that I like but not enough to drop $100-400 on them. I might be willing to get a decant at most if it’s inexpensive. This is where the middle eastern stuff comes in for me. Buy the dupe to have and that’s good enough for me. Now to my surprise… so far they’ve been great blind buys, especially that Angel Share one, I found it to be closer to apple Brandy than AS . Those 2 Killian ones I didn’t love just like, the Lataffa Dupe, I’m in love with! So for $30 totally worth it. I’m picky about who I take middle eastern suggestions from since it’s blind buy. Paulina is that girl when it comes to those lol! I don’t like that La Capital either . It smells weird. I have 2 Others from them in my collection. You can’t tell me nothing about Dama Bianca or Erba Pura lol

    Refreshing to hear similar opinions. Guidance required some serious guidance to scrub off the skin when I sampled it. I gave two 7ml samples to my daughter and can enjoy it on her if not in an enclosed space but it gives me serious nose fatigue. My girl also owns Ariana Grande Cloud and while pleasant, it smells nothing like the gorgeous BR540 to my nose. Always on point AI!

    Always spot on. I regrettably own Guidance, Angelique Noire, and Tobacco Honey and NEVER wear them for the exact same reasons you mention - Guidance is a mess on my skin and actually makes me nauseous. I have Ani which is better and more long lasting than Angelique Noire. Tobacco Honey I love...in theory. But Babycat I adore - comforting, rich, baseline fragrance great for layering and giving depth to other vanillas and gourmands. I think people sometimes forget that fragrance is art. Not everyone is going to be moved by everything, nor should they if the artist (perfumer) actually has a point of view. And, admittedly, some artists are more skilled than others. Wear what you love and what loves you back without apology. There are more than enough scents out there for folks to find what aligns with their body chemistry, mood, stylo, vibe and leave the rest. Thank you for this fun and informative take.

    I tell you I love Dior's Tobacco COLOR but not on me. I bought it and then sold it. But one thing I will say is that you have made me obsessed with LV's Attrape-Rêves. And then I ended up getting LV's Pacific Chill, RHAPSODY, and Coeur Battant. Looking at the notes I never would have bought Attrape-Rêves but when I took that first sniff I was hooked.

    I kept thinking that I’ve smelled guidance before and I finally figured it out. It smells like Sand and Sable perfume from my childhood. That was my mom’s friend’s favorite perfume. The only difference is that guidance has a hot cat note in it. Guidance Stinks to high heavens, whether in the bottle or on skin.

    OMG, I TOTALLY agree with you!!! I think Amouage Guidance is a STONK that should never be allowed in enclosed spaces. Tobacco Honey is nice, but not for me. I just can't get onboard with Angelique Noire, even though I want to! I LOVE Guerlain, it's my favourite house but I don't love all their perfumes equally. I agree that the green note is somehow too sharp and too cloying. And as for Babycat - same! I LOVE vanilla scents, but that smelt to me like some kind of nasty burning rubber - which isn't an opinion I've heard elsewhere. Le Labo Santal 33 is also a no-go. Must just be my nose! PLUS, I LOVE Spiritueuse Double Vanille (one of my favourites - just started on my second bottle).

    I think the name of baby cat is also misunderstood by many - the name is paying homage to the animal pattern print (wild cats) used in runway fashion over the decades. Not an actual baby cat lol. The promo images hint at that but i do think the brand could have done a better job at translating it or marketing it. Maybe calling it wild cat would have been more well received 🤷🏻‍♀️ but it got people curious and talking so maybe it worked just fine. Ha ha
    “A bold and timeless couture pattern known for its infinite power of seduction, a sensual reinterpretation of this couture icon revisiting the emblematic woody family and its powerful long-lasting trail. Versatile, animalistic and endlessly chic, Saint Laurent's iconic pattern has become a wardrobe essential that Anthony vaccarello perpetuates. Today, babycat twists the animalic subtly warm suede accord with a suave sensual vanilla, for a sulphurous yet sophisticated scent. A feline pattern, a wild fragrance for the unpredictable, living at the edge of life”
