I tried but Devotion was not it for me as well. Afternoon Delight and Newcleus will probably be a blind buy and Aoud Extraordinaire and Vanilla Haze I would love to try it out.
I need to test the new perfum de marly 😀 the bottle is so pretty. My husband is crazy about the new release from Tom Ford, he can’t wait to try this one out.
This was phenomenal! Thank you for sharing these with us ♥♥♥ Middle Eastern perfumes are THE BEST! I feel like a fool for dropping money on expensive perfumes all these years. A Middle Eastern dupe I have enjoyed and have gotten tons of compliments on is Armaf Club de Nuit Imperiale, which is a dupe for Delina Exclusif. It is a beast! So, don't have a heavy hand when spraying.
I have not tried the intense but I think I’ll purchase the travel size. The OG is amazing. I have a full size bottle of the OG and I always get compliments on it. I wore it to baskin Robbin’s the other day and the guy goes “what perfume is that?” He said he could smell it as soon as I walked in lol
Have you heard of the house, elysian from Atlanta? I'm so curious to try them. Especially Lavender Milk Tea bc so many of the notes are similar to Blanche Bête. Blanche Bête with a touch of lavender????
I totally agree with everything you said about this fragrance. I was so obsessed with the original that I couldn’t wait for this one to be released and it was such a letdown. It actually smells like a licorice to my nose and on the masculine side so it’s a definite pass for me.
I want to extend my sympathy regarding the lost of your father. The most parents can do is to prepare us for the inevitable but it is still very difficult. Let me just say I have the BB, AN, Guidance, Delina x3, Scherzo (love love). I don't think Scherzo gets nearly enough love. Quentin Bisch is a gift from God, himself! I love love love his fragrances. It seems we have very similar tastes I consider all 5 of our shared fragrances a masterpiece. I can't wait to try the other 5 you have that I don't. Since you didn't mention Valaya, I will assume you don't like it or consider it a masterpiece. I will say this I love OUD, sandalwood, and patchouli but the clean kind like you described in the first fragrance that being said, I recommend Oud Bouquet by Lancome truly a beauty. Then Rose+Honey from Michael Malul which is another British house like Miller Harris and very reasonable niche house and last but not least. Royal Princess Oud by Creed. It is powdery which you seem to like and the Oud is the clean kind. Those are the 3 I actually think are masterpiece worthy. Well, maybe not the R+H but it is lovely. Also, from that house Vanilla +Creme is great. I don't usually like vanilla cuz l don't want to smell like a sugar cookie or grandma attic. But for me this is vanilla done right and the lactonic note is EVERYTHING! I really enjoyed your video. So glad I found you. I can wait to subscribe because l need some recommendations I can trust. I am gonna blind buy some of these. I find it to be such a rush but even I won't blind buy a $1k fragrance or that Lemon Caramel either 😂❤
I smelled the new Tom Ford yesterday. It REMINDS ME (not a total match) of Guidance. Now I know you said you don’t want it on you, but you have to spray it on your hand, because on paper….YIKES…but on skin, it is sweeter but that ebony wood stands out like the OG Guidance. All the employees sprayed paper and were gagging 😂😂😂 and then I sprayed on hand and everyone was like “mmmhmmm…interesting…it’s much sweeter”
@@SharidaM I think it is typical Tom Ford. It is unisex BUT, because of wood note, it leans masculine. I tried layering it with vanilla sex and I did not like it BUT, I feel like I could layer it with Kay Ali VCRS and that would be 🔥. They did not have a full bottle at Neiman, they only had the sample but, I think I would add it to my collection
Right LOL!💸I literally had a dream I had Palatine last night and a friend came into my house and tried to steal it lol. I fought him for that purple bottle LOLOLOL.
I’m so glad they now have the Kayali fragrances in individual bottles so we no longer have to buy the entire set. I just got the discovery set and my favorite is also Marrakesh. It smells gorgeous and is the most long lasting out of the four scents. To my nose, Capri in a bottle is giving me House of Sillage Hufflepuff vibes and they actually have a few of the same notes. Only think I don’t like about Capri is it’s not long lasting at all. My second favorite is Maui in a bottle and Maldives is just a no for me. I’m so glad I was hesitant to purchase the full set when it first came out. I wish they sold this in Sephora stores so we could smell them before we buy
I really don't like the fact they released the set FIRST, made us think we HAD to spend $100 and then release the individuals. That should have been released in reverse. Really not cool. Then if you release anything individual it should have been a 50ml bottle lol, because I would LOVE a full bottle of Sweet Banana.
So is So Advant Garde always giving? I received my first order which was two bottle of Maison Matine that I wanted that were 40% off during their sale and they sent me a sample bag for free! Is that just a first time customer thing or is it like that every time you order?
I tried marshmallow musk when it first came out but I was so disappointed with it. It doesn’t last or project at all. Not worth the $$ imo. I like skin scents but not ones that only last less than an hour. I went through 3 samples of it and everyone I asked if they could smell it said no 🥲 It’s definitely a true skin scent sadly but it does smell good!
I definitely get moderate wear, but I do overspray my lighter scents. Not meant to be loud. I got a compliment 3 hours after wearing from a complete stranger. Samples are not always the best indicator unfortunately.
Hi Sharida, I have to eat my words. I ordered the travel spray of the intense and once I got past the opening and reached the dry down, the intense is Beautiful. It’s smells like the Libre Le Parfum, which I love 😀
I find Celine parade quite unisex because of the heavy citrus. It stayed that way for a long time until it hit dry down, which was a love. But still debating. Do I purchase just to wait till the dry down to enjoy it? Every time I hear dama bianca I am like 😢. Am I the only one anosmic to this and bouquet ideale? I bought dama bianca, gave it time to macerate and sold it a year later. I tried my best but.... 🤷 It just didn't work for me. Have tried Jusbox cheeky smile 😊 but not carioca heart ❤.
Have Donna Karen's CASHMERE & PALO SANTO based off of your recommendation and HOS Hufflepuff and gurlll! Need I say more? Nope lol! Great video always!
I just received a used bottle of Devotion and baby my eyes rolled back in thy head. It must need maceration or something cause she is a keeper for life for me.
The leather is LEATHERING (could I make that font bigger for emphasis). I over-sprayed (8). WRONG move, I thought, and was hoping for more guava than leather. This, for me, will have to be worn in the cooler months with 2-3 sprays maximum. Anything more WILL choke you and others out. This is a BEAST... not lion, more like GODZILLA/King KONG. The guava is so minimalistic...
My pregnancy caused me to have flaky scalp out of no where now that my baby is 12 months my scalp is finally going back to normal so I may be considering sister locs now 😊
Lol. And thats why sampling is so important. Some notes like citrus, oud and patchouli, can go 100 different directions on my skin. I just never know what I will get until I test it.
I been playing with the original BG & when I go into the store I always test it out.. I still don’t care for it, I always thought it smelled like spoiled milk 🤷🏽♀️ I definitely wasn’t getting what everyone else was getting 🤷🏽♀️.. I kept saying to myself, why don’t I like this lol.. I would have to sample the intense version
