Wonderlust Sublime

BBW's new body mist Getaway Soiree is in the same league as Wonderlust Sublime. They have some obvious differences. I love both, but Sublime cannot be replaced. I wore both today, and this one is more floral and orange blossom based, while Getaway Soiree is closer to Tom Ford's Eau De Soleil. Not surprised that Eau De Soleil is listed as a dupe for Sublime. NYpost considers Getaway Soiree as a dupe for Eau De Soleil, but I also thought of Sublime when I first wore Getaway Soiree. Getaway Soiree is more playful (as in fruity-sweet), smoother, much sweeter and more lactonic than Sublime which is slightly citrusy/sharp at first (compared to Getaway Soiree) due to its carnation note, and it smells more perfumey - not in a bad way. Sublime has more depth and it is more elegant & refined to me - like 'liquid gold' and white flowers blooming in the hot sun. Both are rich on me and last the same time. Sublime is syrupy-sweet, but also ethereal floral which I love. Getaway Soiree is not ethereal, it is 'overripe' sweet - tuberose heavy so it is more casual-sexy to me, while Sublime I'd wear to summer formal events too. Getaway Soiree is very solar like Wonderlust Sublime, but more beachy, with just enough warmth from the resinous amber it must have, along with the musk (for that solar effect - listed as 'solar musk'). Getaway Soiree is sticky-sweet in comparison and fruity from the mandarin, with milky tuberose instead of tiare flower. Tiare flower is creamy like tuberose, but fresher which gives Sublime its ethereal character in comparison. Tuberose-wise, Very Sexy Oasis is the best in this sweet solar league to me. I suspect that Getaway Soiree has some orange blossom too for the "sunkissed mandarin" note as orange blossom amplifies any solar effect in perfumes and since it smells similar to BBW SunKissed from the sprayer which is orange blossom-heavy, so if anything it is not in high concentration cuz it does not bother me (orange blossom is a hit or miss for me). Sublime has the nicest orange blossom note that goes well with my chemistry. Getaway Soiree is slightly balsamic too, maybe not as much as Wonderlust Sublime which has a more sophisticated vibe (and no musk). I consider these in the same league as BBW's Sunkissed too (that I also love), however that one smells like sun-tan lotion to me and it's rather salty, vanilla-heavy and with orange blossom overload (which can smell metallic or like camphor on me in some BBW mists/lotions). I would not layer Getaway Soiree with Sublime - it'd be too much, they stand alone just fine. Wearing them at the same time on different arm was fun, it's like they were competing with eachother.

Very beautiful and unique. I think its in the same league as The One by D&G, syrupy and floral with a resinous delicious amber base, but this is different than The One of course. This is also different than the OG Wonderlust which I also love, but it took me awhile to love that one (even though I love almond and benzoin) while this is love at first smell. The bottle is unique as I thought at first that I see the liquid, but no, it is gold, and it is the inner part that is gold, not the outter glass as I see, a very nice detail. So it feels like the liquid inside is gold, and that's what liquid gold would smell like in my mind: smooth, almost lactonic, sweet and ambery without being too warm. Beachy enough without any coconut, must be the tiare flower, as I read other reviewers raving about the tiare flower giving a unique beachy vibe in all perfumes we find it, just like in Chapter One by Jennifer Aniston. It is alot like Chapter One, but this is more balsamic and Chapter One is abit like pencil shavings due to the Teak wood, there's none here so much better! Orange blossom always adds some spice that I am smelling here, and Ive noticed this happens when it's not paired with vanilla or musk, along with a waxy almost feel; it almost always happens with orange blossom, same sensation that I got from the orange blossom in So Scandal that I tested these days, that "waxy" kind of spice. Not a single fruit in here and Im not complaining. Performance on me is great. Update: When I overspray and at the opening the citrus is more prominent and kinda reminiscent of L'Eau The One's ambery citrusy vibe.

Warm, creamy and tropical. What a lovely perfume! The glass bottle screams luxury and opulence while the scent transports me to a 5 star resort where everything is pristine and made for the rich and famous. Sublime starts out with a very bright burst of white flowers and sweet amber mixed with vanilla and maybe a hint of sun tan lotion. It’s very soft and feminine. People might notice this perfume on you but it doesn’t command attention nor will it offend anyone. It’s just a lovely, expensive smelling beachy fragrance. I bought this as a gift for someone, but would not mind having this myself at all. It’s very warm and tropical without being in your face or over the top fruity. This is a scent I’d wear with a white dress and a big floppy sunhat, walking through a sun-kissed quaint town with gold jewellery on my wrist. Just lovely. If you’re looking for a classy, elegant beach fragrance, this might be for you. (I also got this half price on Superdrug for less than £25 so there’s that as well!)

It's a lovely sunny spring day today so I thought I would try this sample. At the first spray a super strong orange blossom hits you and it's honestly overpowering for 10 mins, smells like citrusy air freshener. But then the mid notes appears and it's just WOW! So warm creamy, so soft, so laid back, absolutely beautiful white floral fragrance. If feels like you are bathing in creamy milky white floral lotion on a summer day, quite dreamy! I sprayed that about 4 hours ago and still smell the amazing Tahitian Tiare flower. I can't smell any amber base notes yet (I don't miss it). It also smells wonderful on clothes. The projection does not seem to be really strong though, people may only just notice I am wearing this fragrance but this scent doesn’t command attention, it's about making you feel sublime!

VS Very Sexy Oasis is a good dupe for this, both have intense orange blossom and consequently the same thick sunny ambery sweetness. Both are intense perfumes and last long on me. This one is more tropical due to the tiare flower. Very Sexy Oasis has tuberose instead so it is milkier as if there is almond in it. I am not a fan of orange blossom in most perfumes, it smells too floral, salty and weird on me, but in Prada Candy Kiss and these two I really love it. The orange blossom is more detectable in MK Wonderlust Sublime and Very Sexy Oasis than in Candy Kiss.

Immediate when I sensed it, this reminded of something and I figured what it is - Parfums de Marly Safanad. They are very similar in nature- that warm, creamy, narcotic feel that pulls you in and totally messes with your head (in best possible meaning). This one is more lighter and gentler, probably better fit for summer while Safanad is in the same vein but heavier, more opulent and probably better fit for colder months. This is the only perfume from MK that I love.

Beauuuutiful! I don't really care much for the other Wonderlust flankers, but THIS one! Oh my. I think my tastes are morphing, yet again, because I am usually not a fan of coconut, tiare, plumeria etc... But this, this is so lovely! Another spring or summer night fragrance. Romantic, golden, tropical, sweet, warm, powdery and slightly spicy.

love & own all of the oters Wonderlust flankers - so Im pretty sure getting this as well to make my collection comlete. love carnation - a note which used to be found in many perfumes in the 80s and 90s but not anymore - so happy to see it emerge again!! it was about time..

Sunset in a bottle 🌇😭✨it's perfect guys, not too heavy but the amber is definitely there 👌😍you can wear it all day on winter time but on summer time I think it's better to wear it at night 😏it's a very unique smell warm but also light like a summer breeze

This is absolutely beautiful! I got a sample and my, Oh My! It is absolutely gorgeous. It smells like what a lovely golden sunset feels like; warm, beautiful and nostalgic. Will definitely purchase this.

Such a lovely scent, so delicious and creamy almost reminds me of the original Nivea lotion, but the longevity is extremely poor not an even an hour.

I think this one smells like Soleil Blanc or eau de Soleil but it’s a great fragrance. I only bought 30 ml and wished I had picked up 100 ml

This is the best MK fragrance I've ever laid my nose on. It's a solar floral on a very warm base. It opens with juicy orange and soft spices. Orange blossom makes it a little grapey. Tiare and jasmine are the prominent florals, but I get carnation too. It elevates the scent and makes it eeeeverrr so slightly dusty in the best way possible. I could swear I smell a little almond or almond milk in there. It has the "salty sun-warmed skin effect" I love so much that comes through in the drydown of some of these solar florals. It's nowhere near a salty fragrance, it just manages to fake the natural scent of sun-warmed skin beneath a yummy tropical, beachy blend. This is what makes "vacation in a bottle" scents so addictive. It never smells cheap or screachy, it's well blended and perfect for summer, casual days. I bought a 100 mL bottle in case they go and discontinue it. I'm loving it! I agree that Wonderlust Sublime is in the same family as Rouge Malachite. As well as Alien Fusion. This is more my speed though. I enjoy Wonderlust Sublime every time I wear it, whereas the former two are very dependant on mood and hormones. The sweet tuberose in Fusion & sage in Malachite tend to bother me. This is a more palatable take, IMO.

Wonderlust Sublime smells sooooo good. It kind of reminds me of a more glam version of Perfect by Marc Jacobs (minus the edible vanilla yogurt and shaved almonds ). They are not dupes at all, but I definitely was reminded of Perfect after first spraying Wonderlust Sublime. At first, this fragrance was very strong and I hoped that meant it would have great longevity, but it's only been two hours and I can barely smell this fragrance anymore. That makes me sad, because I would definitely consider buying a full bottle if the lasting power was better. I can still get some wafts of the scent when I move my arms around, but I'm not super impressed with the projection. Overall, this smells PHENOMENAL like orange blossom and amber. This would be a wonderful nighttime summer scent because it's sexy, but not heavy. I might consider buying a bottle if I found it at TJ Maxx or something, but because the projection is pretty disappointing, this isn't a new all-time favorite.

This is a likeable fragrance. There have got to be other ingredients besides those listed here, though. I smell Mostly amber followed by a powdery light heliotrope aroma, coconut (only on top notes), cashmeran, white musk, tiare? (smells more like a lily of the valley to me), and an aquatic note of some kind. This is not natural smelling. It reminds me of a bath and body works lotion or was it VS? in a blue bottle I used to have back in college (in the 90s). Yeah, it’s a musky aquatic. I’d say it’s for the under 30 crowd. Edit: indeed basenotes has several additional notes, including Tonka bean and sandalwood on the base, jasmine, orange blossom and dianthus for mid notes, and mandarin and pepper on top. Edit: the top notes of this are really nice and last longer on clothes. It scratches that tropical itch without being like sunscreen. This is MUCH better on clothes than skin all around.

This one is really growing on my. Despite being quite weak, and simple, and a bit boring.... It’s the prettiest plain white floral I’ve found yet. I’ve been looking for a simple white floral scent that’s very versatile for layering to make any scent a little or a lot more floral dominant. But one that’s pretty enough that it’s worth wearing by itself, because I find with layering, that if I pair something that’s just okay with something I love, it seems to just detract. Anyway, I think this is that pretty, plain white floral I’ve been looking for. Each time I wear my sample I enjoy it even more. It will take a pretty heavy hand, but it’s cheap enough on eBay that I’m okay with that. The longevity isn’t all that actually - just the projection. I like that it has a subtle sweetness that’s not from anything obvious like vanilla.

A citrus amber perfume that's not heavy on the amber, so wearable in warm weather. Has a tropical feel, thanks to the tiara, and a little bit of spiciness, thanks to the orange blossom and carnation. I don't know where the citrus is coming from, since it is not listed in the notes, but there is definitely citrus in this. Silage is pretty poor as is longevity, but I am testing this from a dab on mini, so it might perform differently if sprayed on. While I think it is pretty, it really doesn't grab me or make me want to run out and replace this mini with anything bigger right now. That's subject to change when I transfer this mini to an atomizer and do a spray on test. I might feel differently about it then. As it is now, it's a firm like. Further review to follow.

This fragrance transports me to a tropical island. As a lover of orange blossom fragrances, I am smitten by the balanced combination of orange blossom and tiaré, a blend that I do not come across often. The fragrance performs rather strongly during the first 30 minutes, but afterwards it quickly becomes a skin scent until I cannot even smell it on myself. The other day, my friend even thought that I was not wearing any perfume when we met three hours after I had applied it. If it were not for the poor performance, it could have been a love.

This scent is gorgeous! That orange blossom pulls you in with its sweet airiness and then that tiare flower! Where do I begin??? Warm, tropical, creamy..... I smell this and I am immediately transported to a tropical sunset beach in Hawaii. It's so laid back and dreamy! A departure from your cliché coconut beach fragrance but it maintains that breeziness - a complete mood lifter! Only problem is that the top and heart notes are quite fleeting, 10 minutes go by and you are left with a slightly tropical amber scent.

It gives a vibe of tropical... like coconut thing. Its very versatil and it has a lot of ambar and white flowers. If you like notes like tropical drink, coconut, beach vibe maybe this will like you. It has a lot of ambar and white flowers. Its simple. Nothing out of this world.
