Would love to see your Parfumo tracker stats!

Would love to see your Parfumo tracker stats!

I find the tracker stats in Parfumo so interesting. Just wondering what everyone else’s look like and if you wouldn’t mind sharing?

Would love to make more friends over there if you want to drop your handle! LadyLane83

Cutest perfume travel case ever!

Pretty sure it was suppose to be a pencil case. Found on Mercari and it holds travel bottles perfectly and has a small pouch in the front to hold samples/decants! I can even fit a smaller one ounce bottle in the main part down in between the travel sprays.

I asked this morning about a botanical perfume for my daughter and the response was overwhelming and so helpful and positive! I wrote everything down and am researching all of them!

Somehow while I was trying to edit the post I accidently deleted it because I am a fool!!!! Thankfully I can still get to the comments.

I just wanted to say thank you for your help!

My kid came out as transgender to me last year. They are struggling with aniexity and depression as she has to mask as male at work (very small conservative town, works in manufacturing) while she saves money to go back to college in a much more liberal and safe place. In a few months they will have saved enough and will be moving and finally living how she wants to live.

When she first came out I gave them a bottle of Daisy because her aesthetic is floral/wolves. Later while smelling perfumes at Sephora she started talking about how once when they were little they had a school trip to a conservatory, a huge indoor botanical garden and it was the best smell they had ever smelled.

I had a bottle of Issey Miyake Solar Violet I gave her and she loved it. Said it had that botanical vibe. (I think it’s the violet leaf?)

I wanted to get them another perfume (not just another hand me down) or maybe a special package of decants/samples to help get her through these next few months. Perfume is one way they can safely express who they are, no matter what they look like.

She is botanical green and likes cleanly realistic florals and plants but with a feminine lean. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!! Thank you!

Edit to add: We are US based so would need something that can be found here as international shipping costs are insane right now and can take over a month or two.

Like the title says… I just got this in the mail a few days ago and I am in love with the bottle. Yeah it’s a little childish but I adore how colorful it is and I love cats. My entire home office is done in rainbows and Rainbow Brite and this totally fits right in.

But you guys…I hate how it smells. To me, it is this ultra cheap tropical body spray type of smell. Or like chapstick? And the performance is so bad.

Spraying with the bulb is super impractical for me, and it just doesn’t spray very good. They do include a normal sprayer and that one works well.

So I am wondering if I just empty out the perfume and replace it with something I love or just return the whole thing because it is stupid to pay $60 for just a whimsical glass cat bottle. I mean, or is it?

I am not strapped for money and this was just a little treat for me. But now it just feels so frivolous and silly. Ugh

Anyway, have you smelled it? What did you think? Should I keep it? If I empty it, what should I do with the liquid?

I started a new medication last week and I recently noticed that a lot of my perfumes are making me nauseous and they smell totally different. On the flip, a couple smell even better than they did before.

Sadly I have been setting these aside, might sell and might try again later. I have to be on this medication forever and maybe my sense of smell will go back to normal? *sigh*

It’s an adhd medication, anyone else have this issue?? Did it go away??
