Hello, beautiful frag (& bag) lovers! I'm Trine, and this channel is an outlet for my perfume (handbag) addiction.
I sadly do have champagne tastes on a beer budget. That, coupled with my respect for sustainability, means most of the luxurious goodies I showcase on this channel are from the preloved market. One of my goals with this channel is to provide rational advice to help inform your own fragrance (& handbag) purchasing decisions. My personal goal is simply to learn how to make videos that don't suck.
Hope you enjoy! Check my instagram @scentgourmand where you can find my arty fragrance pics. I blog about things smelly at www.scentgourmand.com.よろしくお願いいたします。
Hello Scentgourmand! Thank you so much for reviewing Stora Skuggan fragrances! I've recently started testing their discovery set and fell in love with Mistpouffer!😍 The way it transforms is pure poetry. It starts off fresh and piny, then that fantastic medicinal minty and spicy wave warms it up, and finally the sugary incense at the end just wraps me up like a comfy blanket!😂I would be curious to know what you think about Moonmilk (a bit too woody, too overwhelming for me). And, you got me all excited about Hexensalbe!😆 Can't wait to try it! Thank you.🙂
It is beautiful, hard to find currently but there are nice designs in the online store, beware of the right page starts with int because the one starts with furla seems to be not legit, instead of opening the page a file is downloaded
It doesn't actually matter. I just purchased the cheapest I could find, which happened to have a large capacity for liquid, which is good if you plan to decant, I guess! The openings for syringes are all the same - standard, I believe.
Bless your heart! 😢thank you so much because I spent $260 for my fragrance and I was starting to feel as if my money has gone down the drain! It was working just fine then all of a sudden I couldn’t use it. Off to Amazon I go to find me a syringes 💉
I am confused about the "white". Are there two? Imperial and White imperial? Because mine also sais only imperial, not "white". But I Don't think it smells like deline at all
yeah, I think Club de Nuit actually creates MANY different fragrances. It must say "White Imperial" - sorry you might have the wrong one.. Is the bottle like mine? I hope it smells good none-the-less!
Mine looks exactly like yours. Yours also does not say "white", only "imperial" just like mine. I tried to google bit I cannot find a bottle that sais "white".. I think sellers put it in the title just because the bottle is sort of white@@SCENTGOURMAND
@@anoniem8998 Holy crappoli! Did you purchase it on eBay or something similar? I have many sad stories of getting the wrong product when buying online in resale markets... Part of the risk associated with the deal, I guess.
@@SCENTGOURMAND I think there is only one.. only imperial, not white imperial. In your video you also notice at 2.00 that it is called imperial on the bottle. People just made up the "white" in front of it because of the color of the bottle I think. But this dupe does not smell like delina at all. If you spray the originaliteit delina on one arm en rhe imperial on the other it is like 2 completly differt smells
@@anoniem8998 Umm, interesting. I've since used up the bottle, so I can't confirm. I got mine on eBay and I do recall it being listed as "white" but indeed that could be the seller!
@@SCENTGOURMAND Just like a normal job except that everyone is awesome 😆 The chemists and lab technicians work elsewhere so no smells for us unfortunately...headquarters are in Switzerland and it's supposed to be insane over there, but I'm happy with the facility in France as well ^____^
This has me so excited to do the one I got. It's the same as yours just bigger and the same funky yellow color but mine has stripes faded up and down the bag like it was sitting behind bars locked up in jail 😂 Thank you for sharing your process to get it done 😊
@@SCENTGOURMAND Yes I'll definitely be doing this closed up in my home office. No kids or dog allowed while I'm working on my project lol. I used leather paint a few years ago and painted like 80% of my leather couch and it turned out pretty darn good. I'm hoping this process is going to be similar just using dye not paint. Thanks again for your awesome detailed video!
Almost 24 years ago i worked in hongkong as a domestic helper. I remember my employer often gave us the soap and body lotion from the hotel they've checked in from their vacation in europe. I've pinned the name as "le de hadrien" in my mind not forgetting the logo as well. I really love the scent since it's very unique, mild, simple but elegant clean fragrance. Now that social media is in i tried to looked for the picture of the bottle untill i saw this vlog and i am si happy. For sure its gonna be pricy but watchingbthis vlog reminds me a lot of that scent. I think only few vlog covering anick goutal scent. Hopefully i could feedback from le or ue de hadrien ny annick goutal🥰
Glad I helped bring back a nice memory for you! The newer packaging is nice, but the old is classic and nostalgic. The stuff inside smells great! My personal fav is the figgy one.
I have the first two perfumes here and I love them! I recently smelled Amouage Love Tuberose (2018) which is quite popular these days and was surprised how similar it is to La Chasse Aux Papillon, its predecessor by decades. Clearly there’s still an appeal to this perfume as my teenage daughter borrows my bottle frequently and thinks it is more special than my Delina.
I've not sniffed that Amouage yet! Im not surprised that there is something similar. Perfumes are like songs - the same old tunes get reinvented and reinterpreted and sometimes improved. (Though with strict perfume ingredient laws, that can be tricky!)
Looove your sweater / sweatshirt / big scarf / fashion Snuggie / whatever that is!!! One of my fave shades of blue/teal & it looks fab on you! This breakdown is hilarious! And I agree Zara seems more experimental. 👏 Take those shots! Darn it for my wallet, the Dior is the best. 😆
Cheers! It's a plisse Isse Miyake dupe "dress" from Aliexpress, believe it or not. On the model, it was a dress with long sleeves - on me, it's a shirt with 3/4 length sleeves. Haha. I loved it so much I bought it in two other colours. They don't sell them anymore, sadly. Zara has some more rose frags out now. Must buy...
That’s a great Jodie dupe / Faux-die! Color is lovely & its drop looks easier to wrangle. (That acid-green leather BV has a bad track record, so that’s money well saved!) And now your bear is smartly accessorized. 💙 ❤ the Ferragamo wallet! I literally gasped when you opened it. Can’t beat that price with a stick. Cute Gucci! Team totes! 🙌 🖤 The [undisclosed] fakes flooding the preloved market are as much a bummer as the soaring prices. While here the pricing will allegedly be coming down some, the risk seems here to stay. 🐓
Beautiful new apartment!!! 🥂 And that pretty park is SO close. Good luck with your adventures in air-conditioning! 🍀 (I’ve embraced my American wimpy-ness about sweltering heat. No more shame in the game. 🥵) Wow, even your old place was roomier than I expected for Japan! Okay - next time I move I need to pay someone to deal with it! And I ALWAYS get sentimental moving. 🤷♀️ We’ll all miss the Pauses for Planes! Or not. 😂 Some traffic noise will be so much easier!
Cheers for watching, Andrea! Just like in the US, there are NYC apt sizes and prices (Tokyo), and there are apt sizes with lower prices in the smaller towns and coties. The same sized place i now live in in Tokyo would probably cost 3-5 times more, depending in the neighbourhood and building quality. I paid more for a place 1/3 the size next to some train tracks back in my big mikan days. ;)
Nothing wrong with a fun, juvenile fragrance (for old fogies, ha) at times, but agree I wouldn’t spend designer money for that. It’s so annoying when “They” (insert brand) keep classifying new scents as flankers when they have nothing to do with the OG - except the bottle design. 🙄
The perfume / superfluous spend pinch is real! 😾 Harrumph, 2024. The Stora Skuggan designs are wild! 💛 Engineering brief - what if a marble got bigger as it ate the bottle? Mist Pouffer is SUCH a cool name! I really want to try your Top 2. I’d heard the Luckyscent samples were on the stingy side. Don’t sneeze; they might launched into the air never to be seen again. Scandi hex-claymation?! 🤯😂
👍 I remember GBH but don’t think I’ve smelled this one. Curious but doesn’t sound up my alley. Kisses for tardiness? Uh, okay, Borghese! 😂 That’s cool they have a Kirkland partnership for skincare. Don’t think it’s available in the US Costcos though, boo.
Figured….😂✋ Oooh I love cucumbers & watermelon too! Learned something new. 👍 I remember the OG Green Tea; never got the “tea” note either. Had no idea FK was the perfumer. 🤔
🩶 Giving silver large Lady Dior chiller bag vibes, in the best way! 😉 That’ll be fun to wear! 👏😎 Good effort & prob the right call on the Longchamp. It needs the right trendy-distressed ensemble. Watching time-lapse leather conditioning is always relaxing! 🏖️
Good day mam! I've smelt the popeline blanche and fell in love with it in one smell. But unfortunately, i dont have the money for it yet. it is around $30 here in the PH
Yeah, prices really do depend on where you are! It's not the longest-lasting scent, so see if you can find something cheaper and longer lasting first... OR search the second hand market!
