I wish I had seen this before I purchased 3 sucky perfumes from Oakcha, which I will never be able to return because they don’t ever reply to my emails. Customer service sucks and their perfumes are cheap. The Paul react perfumes are one example of them being overhyped but make you smell like a sweaty armpit.

They must've since listened to your review! They have several one and two star reviews for several fragrances as of now. I am still waiting for my shipment I placed a few days ago from both Oakcha and Oil Perfumery. I am hopeful that the fragrances are good, but if not it'll be a cheaper lesson than the original's price. Unlike Amazon where fragrances are non-returnable. As for as the websites being the same for Oakcha and OP, there are a lot of sister companies that have the same platform for the different website, i.e. Royal Caribbean and Celebrity websites look the same. 🙂

Beautiful packaging but the fragrance doesn’t last very long

I'm 29 and have my consultation on 7.24 and thank you for the list if things go south. Congratulations I'm glad everything went well.

Love how you tell the haters that it’s your body and you can do what you want! F the people who comment rude comments trying to make you feel bad. It’s our bodies! Our decisions. Love this!’

Can’t wait I get my tubes removed on the 23rd! Thanks for sharing

I just buy one from them!! Let’s hope i get a good experience.. 😭😭 why i didn’t see this video before 😖😫

Q&A starts at 7:40

I love that you did all the background research! Thank you for the review! Would you compare other Oakcha products to their Inspirations? That would be awesome!

A while back I ran across duplicate good reviews on certain items. When I posted a question to ask them about it I never got a response, and when I went to look again I couldn't find them. It's a shame too cause I liked some of their fragrances.

They do list the ingredients on the description page under FAQ tab and you can now sort the ratings… not sure if this helps🤷🏻‍♀️. I’m really interested in ordering Parallel and Body scent, both of which are supposed to be molecular type fragrances (JHAG not a perfume and Molecule 01). Anyone have any input? I’m on the fence with ordering😬

Shipping is too long

I want to preface that, I do like the company, and some of the dupes are very good fragrances. However, I can attest to the review portion, they still haven’t posted my 1 star Forbidden Grass (it smelled putrid, like rubber & weed lol) review, from like 1-2 months ago. I think they don’t approve many of their negative reviews. That’s very unethical, and I don’t enjoy no ingredients clearly listed on the packaging. Do better Oakcha.

In fairness to the reviews, they could be based upon when sale/discount code times, why they’re dropped down around the same time 🤷🏻‍♀️🤔

I am a young man of 21 years old and I had a vasectomy at 20 years old. My first appointment went badly, with a lot of judgment, paternalism (you will change your mind...) and dissuasion ("You won't find a doctor who accepts..."), but my appointment with the second doctor (2 months later) went very well (no judgment and no impolite questions). So, we must not let ourselves be discouraged, when we want something, everything is fine to follow through, and those around us should not dissuade us from pursuing what our heart tells us ! This was one of my best decisions, because not only does it take away my fear of accidentally getting my wife pregnant, but it will also spare her the contraceptive burden. It reassures me a lot that she no longer has to take hormones for years, her health is very important to me and I don't want to see her suffer side effects because of that.

I support you. Congrats on your surgery! I got mine done at 18 because of mental and neurological issues. I knew for sure I did not want and could not handle raising a baby. I had to see a therapist for the doctor because of my age to know I'm sure and know what i was doing. I was so scared of being turned down. Some and most woman are not so lucky and it's really wrong and unfair. I'm 43 now and no regrets.

Every oakcha perfume I ordered (I got 8) have some horrible smell to every. Single. One. 6 of them have the same wierd undercurrent of a scent and the other two have a sharp strange smell. The only one that’s ok is only ok after washing it off or smelling from a far distance and quickly 😂. Nope. I’m the whole brand is a fail.

I can say that their customer service is still terrible. I bought quite a few fragrances from them and most of them smelled super polarizing in a bad way and one was the wrong fragrance. I emailed them and they sent me a $35 gift card and if I wanted to return anything, it would cost a ton of money because there isn’t a return label. Total waste of money.

I'm 37 and most likely would be getting it this year. Had to change my doctor after she told me to wait till I'm 40 even after i told her i don't want children.

I feel great full cuz I just got my tubal ligation and a oblation at the same time and I am healing fine no narcotics just regular to none pain meds. Bloating yes gas yes but other then that fine but I am 45 and I had a child so I feel it was right for me for preventive measures

I'm 38 and had my tubes removed when I was 35. The relief was incredible. I am SO happy to never have to deal with the risk of pregnancy. Good for you, and good for everyone who's taking control of their own bodies in such a powerful way. :)

Thank you so much for sharing! ❤ Im almost 40 and want this surgery. I have never wanted kids.

Congratulations!!!! I want my tubes tied too.

I’ve honestly really liked dealing with oakcha so far but I’m only 2 orders in (5 fragrances) so that could still change. I ordered their dupe of green Irish tweed because I tried the OG from scentdecant and really loved the profile but the performance was so bad (like two hours on my skin tops) I just couldn’t justify spending hundreds on it. Im so happy I decided to order from them. The oakcha is slightly mintier and stronger than the OG green tweed but very similar, maybe 90%, but performance of the oakcha is INSANE. I’ve kind of been in disbelief by how long it lasts especially if it lands on clothes. My best performing fragrance for sure the next probably being sauvage elixir. I also love the dupe of Bleu le parfum. Smells exactly like the original I have and lasts a bit longer. The others were good for the price, nothing too crazy or special but I do think the quality and performance of all the fragrances are very nice. Maybe it’s just because I’ve ordered more masculine fragrances? I’m not sure. I’m waiting on their peach rings from their candy collection which is unisex so I’ll get to see how the performance is on a less gender specific scent. Picked it over their dupe of bitter peach by TF because the profile seemed it might suit me better although I have a feeling I’ll wind up giving it to a female family member anyway lol. Also on the negative reviews end. I don’t know if it’s a recent change but I actually have seen a lot of their fragrances get average to bad overall reviews with no words minced. Even their “popular” ones have some but I do think it’s funny that EVERY single dupe of they have of super popular fragrances have the same overall rating. My best advice I can give is always look elsewhere for reviews of a fragrance, or really anything for that matter, that you’re interested in buying online regardless of what’s shown on the manufacturers website. Overall I think oakcha is a place where you can find some nice scents for a decent price, I don’t think I’ll wind up being one of the super fans with the whole line up but I’m glad I was able to get a couple of solid fragrances from there. Oh and for any guys, or women I suppose, wondering the name of oackhas dupe of creed with the crazy longevity it’s called “recharged”

I’m trying to find a dupe for Gypsy water and I’ve seen videos on oakchas dupe but I had reservations since it’s owned with Oil perfumery (another perfume dupe company). I got the $20 GW dupe after looking at the reviews on oil perfumery and I’m not a fan thus far. Very sweet and powdery. I don’t want to spend an extra $40 bucks to get the same result from Oakcha.

Im getting my tubes removed tomorrow :) 25, no children ever, I’m super excited, anticipating, no words for the RELIEF I’m feeling. This is absolutely the best investment I’ve ever made for my life. I love my kids too much to watch them be born and suffer. I love myself too much to risk ruining myself through pregnancy and motherhood. I wish my mom had done the same. I only ever want to spend my hard earned money on ME. And my pets, of course. I love sleep. I love alcohol. I love being alone. These are integral parts of myself that won’t ever change with time. Pregnancy has been such a fear my whole life. My curse feels like it’s finally being lifted.

90$ lost. pure garbage. smells terrible.

Congrats ❤ I'm going to be 32 soon and just had mine yesterday. Doctor did put me through some grief and back and forth but I finally convinced him to do it. He had agreed to do it during first consut then backed down after all my pre-ops due to his personal reasons and hung up on me.... I let him know what he put me through and that it was innapropriate to press his own life choices on me and agreed to do it. I came more prepared to his pre-op and organized a sterilization binder. As a young looking person (i look way younger than i actually am) you have to be prepared to introduce yourself, (which i missed initially) otherwise ppl make assumptions about you. This didnt happen with the practiciomer but I'm also latina so i get the stereotype of motherhood and that we all have big families from all sorts of people quite often in my day to day... But yeah I just stuck with that practitioner because of my insurance otherwise i'd would have searched for a more liberal one that would have put me through less grief. It was so stressful managing a full time job (im remote but still), my apartment, and redoing arrangements due to his inconsistency and my emotional distress of being treated like public property that I lost 10lbs due to stress and not eating breakfast. Hopefully i gain it back soon slowly 😊 my fear was being patronized in the pre op surgical room while i was wearing the gown but i had a great and caring surgical team and had a really good vibe from them. I would not have trusted them if my fear happened. I triple confirmed photographs and post pathology tests will be put in my medical record and requested copies of the photographs which i got the same day (not sure if all obgyns do it but this one did). if id have to do this again (luckily never again) id definitely recommend working backwards instead for anyone looking to get this done and start with the child free list first, then asking several of them what insurances the accept so you know which one to select during open enrollment

I only had one kid but I knew I didn’t want to have another one. I absolutely hated being pregnant. I had god awful migraines god awful bad back pain and I had morning sickness throughout my entire pregnancy. I knew that I didn’t want to go through another pregnancy again. So I got this done but the only side effect I have noticed is that my cramps are more worse than what they were.

Considering the same procedure and a bit nervous about the experience. This is super helpful, thank you for being honest and talking about what you should know but no one tells you - hello shirt dress! 😂🙏🏼

Im 28, also 2 days away from my tubal ligation surgery, the only surgery I had before was also having my wisdom teeth removed - I know it's common but honestly I'm laughing with the similarities. In Brazil we have to wait 60 days to perform the surgery, this time is almost over now! Congrats girl ❤️

I was nervous in the car afterwards for the exact same reason! Like “I can soo *not* afford to get hit right now w/ fresh _surgical wounds!!!”_ 😫😫😫 😂

I have this surgery scheduled for next month. Thank you so much for being so open, it makes me feel much less scared. (Also the story about the chocolate bar was top notch entertaining)

I’ve had 2 kids, I’m turning 29 next month and I want to get this because both pregnancies were not planned and in unfortunate circumstances. My daughter I had at 19 and her dad left when she was 6 months old and recently he passed away from an overdose and then when I was 25 I was dating a guy who was very psychologically abusive and I ended up pregnant within 6 months being with him and had to run away and keep my daughter safe as well as give my son for an open adoption where my ex would never know who the adopted parents are. I’ve gone through a lot in terms of pregnancy related things and just the thought of being pregnant is traumatizing. I don’t ever want to go through it again and I know that when I’m with someone and in love I can forget how much I personally don’t care to have kids and I worry that I might be persuaded through love to give someone a child when I don’t actually want that. I fortunately have my amazing daughter who’s 10 now and she’s such a blessing so I don’t need to have anymore kids

I had mine at 21. Finally FREEDOM from the fear of unwanted pregnancy!!! 🥳🥂🍾🎉

#BodyAutonomy 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

I’m disappointed with my purchase, the perfumes smelled great however it didn’t last more than 45 mins to an hour

Thank you sooo much for sharing this. I’m 25 and have a consultation coming up. I’m childfree and knew since youth that I did not want children. Especially since I grew up in foster care-the same folks saying they’re pro life DO NOT GAF about children. Cheers to all the childfree women and our new beginnings ✨

Ugh this might have sold me. I really want love in rome and Nebulla but I am nervous.

I bought one perfume from them and liked it. I've never smelled the original though.

great video

Giiiirl i was a size 2, got a 28 waist from them and could barely zip them up. Triggering af lmao

Thank you for the honesty! I recently purchased some full size perfumes from them and I'm a little nervous to try them now. I've heard from several people that the projection when they first tried them was disappointing, and then I read somewhere that it's a good idea to keep the bottles in a dark place for about a week to let the perfumes develop/mature first before trying them out, because apparently they make the perfumes very quickly and that the perfume oils might not be fully matured and incorporated into the mixture when you receive them. So that is what I will do, and then I will try them. I feel like nobody should have to do that honestly, but I really rather not have to return them because I heard it's a pain in the ass.

Yep, I gave a semi critical review and they didn't post it. I was going back to update to discuss how I liked it as a layer.. taken down.

Their customer service issa nightmare. They're sneaky...shady...deceptive and will flat out lie and TRY to gaslight you, rewrite history and even rewrite the meaning of words. Words such as _transit_ or _shipped._ They take 14 -18 days just to DROP IT OFF at FedEx! That's not even including the travel time. Normally I get the package 22-30 days later and I'm IN the United States. They'll send a tracking number with the claim "Good News! Your package has shipped!" when in reality only a label has been created --they're still sitting on the package which is the OPPOSITE of "shipped" and they also delete unflattering reviews from customers who share their piss-poor experience with Oakcha. I have given them NINE chances and they screwed me over 6 of the 9 times. That was my own fault for giving so many chances. Anyways, I'm done with them. Lesson learned. Also, the bottles should be 100ml like most bottles and the juice should be visable so we can SEE how much is actually in there. I used a laser and lighter behind a bottle to light up the amount and the bottles were NOT full. They were more than half but not even close to being what reg bottles contain. So take into consideration the bottles are 30 and 50ml plus they dont even the standard amount of juice inside it makes me wonder how much money I'm actually saving?🤔

Never had an issue with them or their fragrances.

I ordered from their site this past Monday after saying they will wait up to THREE DAYS to process orders and ship them, hoping to receive the bottle for giving as a gift on xmas. Well, i waited for four days and then emailed the company to ask if the item would ship soon and what day they might expect to do that. That was 2 days ago now and i haven't heard a thing back from them. No confirmation of shipping, nothing. My order has not been processes or shipped, but they took my money already. With most companies, you don't pay anything until the product ships, so now I'm wondering if I'm going to even get my order at all now. Very pissed with their sucky customer service - or LACK of.

I have bought from Oakcha many times and I’m not one to be impressed but they’ve never let me down. It’s all parfumerie and lasts forever. ALT is another brand I’ve tried but they don’t last and they seem more alcohol based than oil

This is really informative!!! Im 21 and considering if this is right for me. Would love to see another follow up, thank you!

I wanted to leave a comment since I just viewed their website and placed an order- I can now sort reviews, and I looked at their sweven and there is one star reviews, so I'm glad they've changed it. Now you can also view their ingredients in the FAQ section of the fragrance. Thank you for making this video and highlighting their problems! I'm so glad they've fixed some of them.
