discussion Best strong fragrances?

[Queen.]

I’m trying to move away from the Nicki Minaj fragrance line and looking for something new.

 

I heard Beyoncé’s heat is sweet and strong? Any suggestions? 
 

I have no budget

[Gesamtkunstwerk]

I use Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent, it's strong and very sweet if that's what you're looking for.

[Beyonceist]

I bought Midnight Heat by Beyoncé for my bestie when it first came out, it's a strong, sexy scent for Independent Women, Part 1. She was Obsessed with it.

Britney has the best perfumes imo, and not just saying that as a stan. I love so many of hers.

[smartalek22]

Sweaty men

[Joyride]

you know, I kind of love Gaga's Fame if you are going for celebrity fragrances. it doesn't really have that cheap smell to it.

[WERKER]

Screaming I didn't know people wear Britney, Beyonce or any artists perfume as a serious scent anymore

 

They sell them for like £5.99 at all bargain shops in the UK

Anything from Rasasi is strong asf. I really like Dhanal Oudh Nashwah, Rumz Al Rasasi 9459 Pour Lui, and my fave Khaltat al Khasa by them  judging by the one you mentioned you'd probably like that one the most too

You called them fragrance in your own OP. The ones I posted are Eau de Parfums

[Wind-Up Bird]

If budget isn't an issue, you could try the niche brands or the private/exclusive lines of designer brands. Most of their offerings have strong projection and good longevity.

 

MFK (niche) - Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait, Grand Soir
Frederic Malle (niche) - Portrait of a Lady, Musc Ravageur, Carnal Flower

Chanel Exclusifs - Coromandel, Sycomore, Le Lion 

Dior Privée - Feve Delicieuse, Ambre Nuit

 

Only have the MFKs and love BR540. Have only tried the others on tester strips at the mall so no idea on their performance but they have great reviews. Don't blind buy though, get the sample/discovery sets from the brands' official website and test them out. Some like Chanel don't have discovery sets so you'll have to test them at the store or buy decants. 

 

Other niche brands to explore: Perfums de Marly, Creed, Amouage, L'Artisan Parfumeur, Guerlain L'Art and La Matiere
