Burberry Goddess (2023). Seems to be a staple now & continuing to grow in popularity.

Would really like something new that is amazing in 2026. Maybe a new mix of palo santo & a deep earthy vanilla. Or a fresh approach with patchouli.

Perhaps bringing in lesser known florals like the Magnolia Figo, aka Banana Magnolia. It's a creamy bananish floral that would make an amazing perfume.

It's dependent on the scent. The Oud Suede lasts all day! Gingham Gorgeous lasts the least at about 2.5 hours. Others I have average 3 to 4 hours.

Our BOPIS counter is closed.

At my store, 90% of the time, they greet me when I come in, get my information, say I can browse and then find me to deliver it. This is my favorite and feels indulgent.

The other 10% of the time I'm directed to wait by the door of the closed BOPIS section.

I have never had to go to the counter.

Warm Musk is perfect for a clean warm scent.

If You Musk is if you want something clean and a bit sharp like laundry.

The key is using the right eye shadow primer. I like Urban Decay Anti-Aging Eyeshadow Primer. It doesn't crease.

I used concealer as primer for years. But this works better with textured lids.

Bought it. Smelled like plastic. Check every year for maceration, 3 years now, still plastic.

Salted Butterscotch is sweet but complex. Throw is good around 7.5. I love it!

LightningBooks

I love it too! The pecan and brown sugar is addictive.

Really? I got one during the glitch for December. But I need to see this now 🤣

I love a vanilla bubble. Bath & Body Works Vanilla Lip Mask, EOS Vanilla Cashmere Lotion, & Nemat Vanilla Musk perfume oil.

Thanks! I find their coffee repulsive. There is something about it I absolutely hate. Everyone around me likes it. I feel validated!!!

There are cultures that celebrate women of all sizes. Only a narrow group focus on extreme thinness. You are part of a much larger group.

Burning Marshmallow Snowfall today. On cold 1/10, hardly any smell. While burning, a bit above average throw 6/10. The scent is fresh, airy, sweet and cozy. I love it!

That's funny! I think the Vanilla Romance lotion can turn almost any scent into something rich, intriguing, and complex.

Vanilla Romance Lotion...perfection!

Thanks for sharing! I must have subconsciously filed this in my brain. Because that is the shade of purple I was thinking of.

The lip masks are great!

Do not love the Bigelow lip treatment.

It's weird when the colors don't match your version of the scent. I love this scent but it's purple in my mind 🤣

Very similar to the name of a large rodent called a nutria.

I own both Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt and Dossier's Woody Sage. Dossier is about an 85% match.

Jo Malone's is much crisper, cleaner, & stronger in the beginning. However, it is gone in less than an hour. I will not repurchase.

Woody Sage is still clean, but more rounded. It is also lighter and airer. It lasts around 3 hours. Not great. But it is perfect for sweaty days spent outside. Would totally repurchase.

Last year I bought a lot of Dossier scents off TikTok from their lives for 50% off with free shipping.

I also see Dossiers at TJ Maxx sometimes.

Literally every time I wore it, I got compliments. But gave me migraines.

I love it 🥰❤️! However, I crave novelty. I think they should rotate holiday scents. Have each one every 3 years. Add in new ones and single year ones.

I would love a maple and caramel or maple and pecan holiday line. My vote is for maple to be the pumpkin spice of the winter!

LightningBooks

Best guess!

It smells like a photorealistic almond croissant. Mine is freakishly strong. So the whole house even this morning smelled like I baked Trader Joe's croissants.

I'm not sure how I feel about it though. Now I'm craving it 🤣😂
