Some years ago, I discovered my love for fragrances and now, I want to share my scent evolution with you! Scentolutions is a fun community of perfume newbies, oldies, baddies etc. who are passionate about fragrances and want to share same with the world. The idea is for us to navigate the world of self expression through fragrances. I look forward to sharing my scent evolution and learning from you as well! Let's go....
If you get only 5-6 from any Elie Saab perfume, then the issue is your skin. I have the entire line and they all last over 10 hours with very strong projection.
Hi @scentolutions please may I request your opinion on Premiere Note Rosa Damas? Is it a safe blind buy or is it an acquired smell? Or is it a good layering perfume and a compliment getter thank you❤
Hi! Rosa Damas is extremely spicy. The cloves take centre stage and overshadow all other notes. Definitely not safe for blind buying. I think it layers well with florals (especially sweet rose perfumes) though.
Thank you, this perfume has been on my radar for so long but no deep review on Rosa Damas when I did my research. Please what's the dry down like? Is it femine leaning and luxury?
Hi Anne, wonderful presentation on Rose Perfumes to wear in the summer, i am really interested in the Bvlgari Amarena and Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme sound's like my style of perfumes. Rose Perfumes in my collection: Rêve VCA, Beyond Rose Clinque, Si Giorgio Armani, Singulere Rose chypree Welton London, Oud&Rose L'occitane, Wild Rose IceBerg and one day in monte carlo Reyane Tradition Paris
Yes, those are 2 unique Rose perfumes. I love your Rose perfume collection....looks like a very interesting mix. Good to see someone give L'Occitane and Clinique perfumes a chance because they have some gems 😁 Thanks for watching!
Hello Anne !rose is my favourite note in perfumes but in summer i don't reach so much to it, i tend to wear the fougere type, or some fruity/coconuty scent. Nevertheless in my collection there are some rose-based pieces such as: Givenchy Live Irresistable -rosy crush (very very nice this one) , Bulgari Splendida Rose rose (nice but doesn't last) , Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Rosa Pop (does not last either). My all time favorite is of course Guerlain's Encens Mythique that is sooo sexy for the evening!By the way Anne would you recommend some very heavy rose-patchouli fragrance?thanks😊
Hi! These all sound like they would be up my alley especially Live Irresistible Rosy Crush. I have the Live Irresistible Delicieuse and love it. Rosa Pop also sounds good. For Rose Patchouli maybe Hermetica Patchoulight, Gris Dior or its Dupe Grise by Alhambra (though I won't say these are heavy per se). Thanks for watching!
I believe they are beautiful perfumes because of how excited you described them...i have smelt qimmah lattafa on my friend and it's good but not for me, i do love Arabian perfumes but i am too picky with them, i have Maahir lattafa, oud Indonesia Paris Corner, d&p perfumes, perfume oils which are so good to wear on its own or layering, ard al zaafaran sharlimar oud, wonder ajmal and khalis roseoud niche perfume only after giving the 3 other khalis niche in this collection out because it wasn't for me lol and now getting Arabian perfumes are in serious competition with designer perfumes. I love that you hunt down underrated perfumes like the magnificent pour femme armaf and I am the Queen ard al zaafaran
Honestly, Middle Eastern fragrances are an acquired taste, especially if youre used to mainstream perfume DNAs. However, there are plenty of good ones too. I just can't justify the current prices of some niche and designer perfumes these days, so if I find a good Middle Eastern, all for it. I actually have a channel dedicated solely to Middle Eastern Perfumes (Scentolutions_me) because there are some gems there. Thanks for watching!
Private accord definitely needs something else for longevity and umph. I am intrigued by the combo of eau premiere wirh adddict, sadly I don't have either fragrance but they're both on my list. 😂 I agree Nomade is very very different! 😊
Eau Premiere with Addict reminds me of 80s/90s fashionable mom's. It's very nostalgic for me even though may not be everyone's cup of tea. Thanks for watching!
Glad to have discovered this channel. However, I would appreciate if you could add the list of perfumes that you talk about. No need for time stamps, just a list of what you mentioned.
Many thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it. Although, when I tried that in the past, viewership dropped by up to 40% because people already know what you're talking about before deciding if to watch. I put the names in the video though.
My most worn perfumes in 2022 were Chergui, Hypnotic Poison, Irrésistible, Santal Royal, Girl of Now, Sweet Touch by Figenzi and Red Temptation by Zara.
Qimmah is Really an Underrated Scent.It's One of the Lattafa's i will always use as an Office Scent. Finally,Someone who gets the Date Delight Similarity to Khamrah 😅😅,the Closet to Angel Share i have Experienced is Emir Fire your Desire. I actually thought I would like La Nuit Tresor but I haven't gotten around to use it😑😑
Absolutely. My Qimmah has aged beautifully and yes, Fire your Desire is the closest to Angel Share. Cocktail Intense tried but lots of perfumers alcohol in the opening and very poor longevity on me.
I'm new to the channel and immediately subbed. I love Teriaq and you described it perfectly. Quentin Bisch my favorite perfumer and he didn't disappoint with this one. I get nothing but compliments when I wear it. It projects and lasts all day for me, but I tend to over spray. Great review! Looking forward to more! 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for watching! Happy to know you found the video useful. You can also check out scentolutions_me for in depth reviews of other Middle Eastern Perfumes. Take care!
Absolutely! He seems to be catching up these days though. The other day, he was saying one of my perfumes smelled like Caramel and leather. I almost passed out 😁 Thanks for watching ❤️
Is L'interdit intense discontinued now? I saw my local store no longer stocks it. If prohibit intense is still available it will probably see an increase in sales if so, it sounds good!
So where I live, we still have Linterdit Intense on some stores (maybe old stock). Maybe people haven't caught on to Prohibit because it would've been more popular. Really love it!
Link below for detailed review of Prohibit Intense ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7Lv8aozhf1I.html For Modest Deux, I meant that La Nuit Tresor has an incense note so may not appeal to certain consumers.
The published notes don't include Incense in Modest Deux, but just like La Nuit, I get something that smells a little like incense. The only difference is La Nuit Tresor actually has incense published as a note.
Love musk fragrances, especially now!! I need to try a few of these! The bottles are stunning, especially the Lattafa and the Ariana Grande. I’ve been wearing Jivago, The Gift, which is a musky floral. It’s also nice for layering. The weather here is starting to get a little nicer. I’m sure where you are. It’s nice and warm.🌸🌺🌷🌼
I was lucky to collect 5 scents of Bvlgari Le Gemme Line and Ashlemah is one of the most favorite, together with Rubinia and Calaluna. But I found out that it has many similarities to Bvlgari The Bleu - for the lavender and violet notes. If you own one of it you don't need both, in my opinion. But the longevity is much better of The Bleu.
I'm so happy to find someone else talking about the Le Gemme collection. I have the travel size of Calaluna and love it too. It's a hidden gem 💎 thanks for watching!
@@Scentolutions Same! I was excited to see you highlighted one of Le Gemme scents ) they're really underrated at their prime time. I'm happy to enjoy their bottles apart of scents too - a treasure to decorate house )
I really need to get the Narciso Rodriguez Musc rose, I tested it once , and fell in love with it!! I also love the Prada La Femme edp, and also need to try the Intense. There is another Prada in a blue bottle, which is in the La femme line, but more of a clean scent. Ido love tuberose fragrances, and have a sample of the BDK tuberose, but found it really works best on a warm summer evening, as it can be a bit overpowering for me.Thanks Ann, I always love your videos!! 💖💖💖
