For me, Nest Indigo layered with Nest Wisteria Blue embodied my sadness. Nest Indigo smells medicinal on my skin and I really didn't like that. As it turns out, that medicinal accord that I didn't like, was the thing that resonated with my sadness. Indigo layered with Blue Wisteria (by Nest) smelled so much like how I felt (sad but trying to be optimistic) that I was basically wearing my emotions.

To me, citrus is a happy note, so I wear citrus when I am cheerful. And sometimes I wear citrus scents when I am trying to cheer myself up.

I will use different fragrances depending of my mood, but ain't no way I will wear a specific frag if I'm sad. Either I will wear one that I love that will life up my mood either not, because I'm not going to associate a fragrance with negative thoughts

Another vote for Alien Goddess. I love it so much but I live in a humid area and find it too cloying when it’s hot+humid out. I’m looking forward to wearing it on those dark, deep winter days when I need a little spritz of summer.

I'm curious as I tend to be someone who will buy something nicer for myself only after I complete a task or earn a high grade on an exam or assignment (working on my masters degree so I want to reward myself when I can as everyone should). When do you find yourself buying a fragrance and why?

I have been on a buying spree lately. On the one hand, I tell myself if I can afford it and it makes me happy, what's the harm? Lots of people collect things and spend money on other hobbies or interests -- what makes this any different? On the other hand, the consumerism aspect and constant “need” for acquisition makes me feel icky and guilty at times.

As someone who came of age in the 2010s, I see the SDJ mists as a more sophisticated upgrade of the Victoria's Secret scents. I never liked the VS scents because they smelled cheap to me. I have all but one of the SDJ mists because they smell nice and fun, yet sophisticated, if that makes sense.

I haven’t tried their scents yet, but I remember all the hype about how their bumbum cream was the best smelling thing ever, smells like youre on vacation, divine, addictive, etc etc So I bought it and was so underwhelmed! It was just a strong very sweet synthetic artificial scent to me, and the cream itself wasn’t good. Just felt cheap? So I’m hesitant to try their perfumes. I am 32 so I don’t think it’s age.

I don't know the first bottle's name nor origin, the second is Sweet Tooth by Sabrina Carpenter (Me Expresso), and Sol de Janeiro (68). I also have Ariana Grande (Mod Vanilla) but it's not pictured.

Hi guys, I bought the Sol De Janeiro 71 and I’m absolutely in love with the smell. However, I know it is tooth achingly sweet and cloying to some people. I’m trying to look for an affordable perfume with similar notes but is sensual and less child-like? I love the salted caramel and macadamia notes the most. Please help!🩷🩷

I like it, never understood the burning hatred some people have for it! But to me it smells just like a freshly-opened box of Golden Grahams cereal. Not a problem, it’s nostalgic and comforting, but I save it for wearing at home when I’m not really going anywhere cause I don’t wanna smell like cereal lol

100% for myself. People have probably noticed me smelling my inner forearm throughout the day and think I’m a weirdo but it’s such a mood booster for me. I very rarely get compliments and kind of forget that that’s a thing when I’m not in the fragrance community online. I think i generally spray pretty lightly. I sometimes wonder how many alleged “compliments” are backhanded signals that you’re wearing way too much (not all of course).

I know that they have body butters which is great. But I’m extra lol and would love if they came out with body lotions/creams. I know they have an edp for 62 but if they came out with edps for ALL their scents they’d make more money. Also body washes too, I’ve been looking for the 59 body wash everywhere and can’t find it sadly. LASTLY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAKE THE SCENTS STRONGER YES I KNOW ITS A BODY MIST BUT WTH

Hi. I absolutely LOVE SDJ 62 mist and want a PERFUME that smells very similar to it. Given that SDJ is a mist, it has low performance hence looking for a perfume version of it. I have a body/shower gel that smells like it and want a perfume to layer it with. Budget - around 4-5k.

I’ve learned to layer with SDJ lotion but use other perfume brands to get longevity. I feel you on a deep level though. The 62 perfume SDJ sells is a waste of money imho which makes me so sad.

I love layering fragrances. It’s a fun, harmless exercise in creativity that results in a scent uniquely pleasing to my particular nose. All I have to potentially lose is a few milliliters of perfume since I always preview my combos first.

My problem is they are expensive, at least to me :(. on sale its 20 euros here where I live, (smaller bottle, 90ml/3oz). From reviews opinions on longevity are pretty mixed. Ofc they won't last as an edp but I have some body sprays from Lush and preformance is insane - this is why I'm buying Let the good times roll (30euros for 200ml) from lush rather than cheirosa 71' (aperently dupe for that one, the lush one doesn't have macadamia note) .

I've also splurged on the travel set to bring on vacation before. It creates such a lovely scent memory and it's a little something special while you're there.

I’m now realising it’s best to sample them but some of these sample costs I’m seeing to buy are at costs that are practically better of buying the real thing.

Recently I thought to try it and I signed up. After signing up for the free week I tried to access one of the events. When I did I saw there was a price for a ticket and it confused me a lot. I tried to get a ticket to which it then bugged me to get a membership and I ended up paying £14.99. I then went back and found I would have to pay an additional £19.99 for the ticket.

though I mostly buy small decants or 5ml bottles, so it’s not actually a massive volume- I just really like having variety and being able to match my perfume to my mood! Usually I wear two per day, with work fragrances being light and pleasant and more “professional”, and evening/sleep fragrances being as comfy, atmospheric or downright weird as I like.

There are no strict rules, it's more a matter of time and places. If you're going to the gym or a sauna, or taking a 12 hours flight, or going to the hospital for a medical visit, all of these in the middle of winter... don't wear a strong, cloying perfume. Basically, be mindful of people around you. If you want to wear the sweetest, most sirupy cloying fragrance in your collection when you're alone at home and it's 35°C, treat yourself. But if you're at the office and you're 3 people in a tiny room....
