Coco Chanel mademoiselle! It’s been my favorite when my mom gifted it to me in hs😊 I used to wear the eau de parfum, but 2 years ago or so they came out with the “Intense” and it’s stronger/lasts longer than the original. A little goes a long way. I always get stopped and asked what I’m wearing haha. But the same perfume will smell differently on each person because it depends on the pH of your skin. I also like to layer scents. Meaning I’ll use specific body cream/lotion and body wash that match or won’t over power my perfume. You can tell I love perfumes/scent too much lmaooo. Hope this helps!

Chanel No. 5 and Jimmy Choo eau de parfum. Chanel is sweet but subtle, grown and sexy. The No. 5 body oil is super luxurious and smells sweeter than the perfume. Jimmy Choo is sweet and floral, with notes of orchids. Never buy eau de toilette - those are less subtle and “watered down”

I like Debaser by DS&Durga and Eau de Lierre by Diptyque. Byredo’s Flowerhead is nice. Also luckyscent.com has really cheap samples if you can’t get to a Sephora. Nice way to try before you buy

I LOVE LOVE LOVE perfume and try to stay away from fashion brands that have perfume lines (this really is just my way of feeling extra bougie lol).

Here’s my list that I swear by!
- Le labo
- Byredo
- Ds&durga
- Dyptique (candle brand with amazingggg perfumes)
- Aesop (Australian beauty brand with great scents)
- Margiela (yeah he’s fashion but godddddd his perfume line smells devine!)
- Mihan aromatics (randomly discovered this when I was in Australia)

It’s important to note that what smells good on other people might not smell good on you. Your body chemistry will determine the ultimate smell. Look for brands that have quality ingredients then find the scent that works for you.

Before investing, I suggest going to Sephora and asking for samples. They will make a sample bottle of anything for free. (I also get them whenever I order online). Try them out for a week and then decide!

get a Scentbird subscription! a lot of the ones listed in this thread are available on there. that way you get to try them out via travel size (which lasts quite a while) before you commit to the full-size!

Idk who needs to hear this but don’t just accept feeling lucky to have a job during a pandemic as an excuse to not get your promotion AND raise. If they say they don’t have money, issa lie. They have it, just not for you.

It goes without saying but always keep that resume fresh and be on the lookout for yourself because they SHOL ain’t lookin out for us.

🗣Don’t let them assign your value, know it for yourself and leave if you have to!!

Hi, ladies. How long has it taken you to find a new job?

I’m currently on the hunt for a new job and I’m feeling really utterly defeated. Over the past year I’ve probably applied to at least 100 jobs and I’ve been on 8 different interviews all with no offer. I’m not sure if I’m doing anything wrong or if there is more being done behind the scenes that have nothing to do with me. Either way, I’m getting frustrated and my productivity in my current position is slacking as a result.
