A friend from Athens recommended MB - Signature to me, but according to Fragantica it Is very similar to Issey Miyake A drop d'Issey. I just got the latter, and while I really like it I don't necessarily want another one of those. Do you have any idea? Drop is very lactonic, a bit soapy with vanilla + lilac + musk. Clean and a tad sweet but very milky.creamy. Based on Ksenja's review the base is indeed identical....
I LOVE Mont Blanc Signature! Like you, I find it to be so versatile fragrance, suitable to just about any occasion. It's one of the few fragrances that I immediately bought a back-up bottle of, simply because I know I'll use it up fast. And I just got Musc Noir Rose as well, and I am loving that one too! It really is insanely beautiful. Nice haul! So glad you had such a wonderful trip.
All the Montale bottles are like that. They are very light I wouldn’t worry I am sure you got all the fragrance. They are definitely very strange in the perfume world of bottles. Great haul.
Trussardi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just the house I want to start buying from. I have some of their clothes and....what can I say, I love this fashion house!! Thanks for sharing al about it. I'm on it. Awesome video, thank you!!😍
Hahahah! I can’t tell you how much you took me by surprise! Musk Noir Rose was literally my purchase a day before CurlyScents released her video! 🙈 At the beginning I was not sure if I want to keep it, is it really worth its price (also a big bottle), so I was keeping it unboxed. Until I saw the video of CS. Then I had no doubts whatsoever! :) I love this one and can’t wait until the autumn comes. And believe me or not I was thinking about this one while watching your video and analysing my last purchases and… bang! Your favourite one! I’m so happy for us! 🤣🙈 BTW - don’t let Móntale put you back - I read sometime somewhere that Móntale doesn’t pour their perfumes to the end of bottle. I just assume that “bottle” is actually more than 100ml, so we have this impression that it’s not full. Don’t worry about that then! Anyway, great video - brought so much joy in this Sunday morning to me :) ❤️❤️❤️
Hi, Ksenja! Always love your videos! 💙Now I'm soo curious about Musc Noir Rose! I will certainly test it out. I've seen people on Fragrantica compare Christina Aguilera's Definition perfume to Montblanc Signature. I've never smelled the Montblanc Signature so I can't confirm or deny that, but thought that it would be interesting to mention it, since I know you're also always on a hunt for great affordable perfumes. Definition lasts about 14 hours on me and projects so well! I hear no one talk about it on RU-vid and it's surely a gem. 🥰
Omg!! Totally agree on Musc Noir Rose!!!! It’s so mind blowing 🥰♥️….. I put it on at the store last week could not believe how amazing it is! Bought the biggest bottle ❤️… Everyone comments on how amazing I smell. It’s so good
Omg I just bought narciso because of curly scents! Still waiting on it. Now I’m super excited to get my bottle. Thank you for the musc noir rose review!
I bought that one because of Curly Scents too. I haven’t opened it yet though. I buy myself perfumes in the summer then wait to open them during the holiday season when I’m spending money on gifts for others rather than myself…I have a whole box of unopened fragrances waiting for me to enjoy later. And I still buy others I enjoy now. 🤣 I have a problem.
I love Mont Blanc Signature, too. On me, it reminds me a lot of Hanae Mori edt (pink butterflies). You should try that if you haven’t. It has the black currant and berries that you like, and, on a side note, was the first fragrance to ever be packaged with a glass cap (just a little of my trivial perfume knowledge, lol).
I just blindbought musc Noir Rose and it's very nice! It's so versitale imo. I have Montblanc signature and it's so yummy but clean and airy at the same time. Hard to explain but so nice and I get the clementine note as well. I think I will buy trussardi donna in the future 👍😁 great video again.
Oh my goodness, Ksenja, for some reason, I knew you were talking about Narciso Rodriguez’ perfume when you mentioned it in the opening. I had the exact reaction to it. If I had to start over, I would start with that one. It’s amazing!!!
i absolutely love Trussardi Donna! I blind bought it for out of the shower shampooy and clean smelling but I ended up falling in love with it. Montale perfumes don't come full inside but you do get 100 ml so don't worry and yes they are super light weight feeling.
I never smelled the narcisso one but I definitely didn't expect that one, I need to try it! You should try armani ocean di gioia, it's a fresh pear oceany scent, it's so good! I'm not that into fresh scents but that one is great. It would also be nice to see a "top 10 relaxing perfumes" from you
Good morning ksenja happy Sunday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you and your eyelashes is so cute because you look gorgeous with your makeup
I love Trusardi Donna. I got it when I was pregnant and it was one of the only fragrances I could wear durning this time. I wore it almost everyday. Will be a nice scent memory.
I just got Donna edp in the mail, today-I have the edt as well, but I’d heard the edp was better. They smell the same. I’m not mad because I will just layer them for longevity, but anyone who’s trying to decide-they are basically the same to the nose.
I've been watching your videos since the start of this year and I love how much I have also learnt about what perfumes I like and understand them better much love 💕 also, sapodilla is a very common fruit in south Asia. It's a very fleshy fruit and smells very sweet. It's also consumed a lot in Mexico It's a very sugary fruit, it tastes like consuming a banana smoothie with a lot of brown sugar xD smells much like it too, just sniff a bowl of brown sugar
Thanks for this video!! Cannot wait to try all of these myself. By the way, I never knew but thanks to the picture, I can tell that the sapodilla is chikoo. It’s a sweet, fleshy fruit which makes a good ingredient in desserts, ice creams and with custard.
Yey I’m so happy… when you recommended the narciso Rodríguez i went ahead and order it on Amazon… it wasn’t coming and I was sad Amazon reimburse me but I still got it today… for free it’s an amazing fragrance!!!! I got lucky…..
Hi beautiful!!!! I would love to see little updates "outfit + perfume for certain occasions" blessings!!!! You're doing great keeping yourself genuine!!! XOXO Girl!!!! 🥰
I got trussardi my name in Greece in 2014 , Everytime I wear it , it brings back all those memories. It may not be the best perfume of all time, but for me it’s my favourite
My husband gifted musc noir rose on my birthday and I fell in the love with the first sniff... The way you explained it.. I felt the same but I couldn't explain to my husband and daughter that how good it is.. I had the tester which I kept on sniffing all day from where my husband got the clue😅
I like that you are covering fresh, feminine fragrances. I have always loved fresh fragrances and they can be for all ages. The Trussardi sounds beautiful.
Thank you once again for another wonderful perfume review.I have Donna and I really enjoy wearing it.lovely fragrance..I will definitely be ordering the narcisso Rodriguez perfume..
I finally got this!! Omg I love it but I got it after I bought Paradoxe and honestly…is it me or is the Signature like a lighter Paradoxe?? Ha 🤭 also got Burberry Goddess thx to you! In the store from bottle? I smelled nothing!! Got it on Joma great price and it’s another love Ksenja!! You literally have the best tips and scents chosen! Always a hit !! 💕
I have Donna on my wishlist for so long but wasn't sure if I would like it. Maybe I'll try it. I do have Sound Of Donna, it's good too, it has almonds! you should try the new Alien Goddess Intense, it's so good. Oh, maybe also the new Scandal le parfum... And the new Jimmy Choo I Want Choo Forever. 🥰
I've been scared to try Narcisso Rodriguez fragrances bc of the rose notes, also! So I'm going to just go for this one since its not antique-like rose scented, even tho it's got rose in the name. I LOVE musk scents- so I'll get this one. Thank you!
They also make the Musc Noir version (came out before the Rose version) and it’s the same exact scent minus the rose. Not sure if you knew that, so hopefully it helps.
I just got back from Las Vegas.I brought back a Sephora bestsellers sample pack.I really like Replica-By the Fireplace and CLEAN Reserve Skin.I would like to try your new favorite by Narciso Rodriguez!
I love the Mont Blanc Signature! I first smelled it back in 2020 at the airport. The girl just passed me one of those papers to check it out and dissapeared. I had to chase her around to find out which perfume it is! I bought it but got stolen from my check in luggage on my return flight, so I bought it again! I just had to have it and I have been loving it since.
Great video. I have 2 full bottles of Montale and they feel very light as well. I'm thinking the glass in perfume bottles must be what adds the weight?
Ksenja I feel like you would love the Nest Turkish Rose fragrance oil. I got the rollerball version as my choice from one of those Sephora sample sets for Christmas last year. It's a fruity rose with woods, it's soooo addicting!
I super agree with Musc Noir Rose. I stayed away from Narciso Rodriguez for a long long time. Gave Poudree a chance but that did not work for me either in the long run. But I have been gatekeeping musc nour rose for a while now because i don't want it to be as popular the For Her line but it's really so good no one can keep it a secret!
Montale doesn’t fill the bottles all the way. Thank you for pointing this out. Someone on Mecari left me a bad review saying the bottle was listed as full and was half full. 🤨
I tried a vial sample of Mojave Ghost and I loved how it smelled on me...but it didn't last. I asked 2 gals from work to smell me and they couldn't smell anything. To be fair, I couldn't spray it so at some point, I'll buy the travel spray. The scent is definitely "your skin but better" and very clean, understated, yet yummy at the same time.
Sapodilla is a fruit 😊! It’s one of those exotic fruits. Kinda hard to explain how it taste and smell because it has its own unique sweet taste. The one in Mojave Ghost smells like an almost-ripe-sapodilla. It’s sweet, but not as sweet as when it’s ripe. A ripe sapodilla taste unbelievably sweet so even if it’s not ripe yet, it’s still sweet when you eat it. Because of how realistic the sapodilla in MG smells compared to the real fruit, IMO it’s not a safe blind buy. On paper it’s not that present but on skin it’s like they’re screaming ‘HEY I’M SAPODILLA NICE TO MEET YOU”. Also it’s a pretty linear fragrance so that sapodilla is present throughout the wear.
I'm sure you heard but all montales are light weight,they are great to pack if you go on vacation. Mont blanc signature to me is a creamy freshy.if you want a sweet version of trussardi donna go get your nose on sound of donna,its a fruity floral with alomond,whipped cream and chesnuts,I love it!safe blind buy.quai and byredo made a Mojave ghost leave in condtioner, I have it and the smell lasts in your hair,great scent bubble.❤️💯
I felt the same when I bought a Montale Intense Cafe tester. I searched online and found out the bottles all feel like that, even when they aren't testers. I think it's a combo of the aluminum packaging but they also don't fill it all the way so there may be more air space in the bottles. I definitely prefer the Mancera bottles (the sister company ).
Just got Musc noir rose in and it smells VERY similar to mon guerlain which I love just a bit more vanilla in Musc noir rose, I love it but kind of feel like I don’t need both in my collection
@ksenja This is my first Narciso Rodriguez. I absolutely love this! I just got mine delivered today and the cap just glides off almost too easily. It doesn't catch like other perfume bottles. Is everyone else's bottle cap come off this easy?
I love the same scents as you so I’m gonna blind buy the Narcisso one because of you but I just got BDK Rouge Smoking and I think you would love ! I blind bought it also
Personaly, musc noir rose reminded me a little bit of donna born in roma when I wore it. What do you think? They are both amazing but I'm wondering which one to get!
Amazing new fragrances💖😍. I have 5 Narciso rodriguez fragrances and love them All. Especially Pure musc, Rouge and Musc Noire (Not the Rose one,the og Musc noire). But I want the Musc noire Rose as well😅. I just ordered Chanel chance eau tendre edp because of the little tester I had found in my collection and I instantly fell in love🥰. Although its normally Not my type of scent😅.
The NR Musc Noir Rose is BOMB! I bought mine after I watched Curly Scents video and I have heard so much about it prior to that and it is sooo good! I have put a HUGE dent in my big bottle but I also love the For Her EDT version and the cubes. But the Musc Noir Rose is a 100 out of 100!! Also signature is another amazing scent that I just got myself! It’s so creamy like orange creamsicle! I have nothing like it either in my collection!
Musc Noir Rose is the BEST OF THE BEST👌🏻👌🏻 I also have the MUSC NOIR and it's perfect for every day! You should try that too if you love the Musc Noir Rose 🤩 Greets from Austria
I am nervous to buy any Montale fragrance because every perfume reviewer says every Montale fragrances has a background metallic note. I have had Mont Blanc Signature for over a year (first hyped by Paulina Schar on RU-vid) and every time I wear it, I receive compliments.
Montale bottles are all like that. The aluminium weighs far, far less than standard glass bottles. If you weigh it on kitchen scales new it will be approx 120g ish. If you see 100ml of liquid, it’s actually very little - so your bottle is fine x
You are absolutely gorgeous I love your earrings and your hair tucked behind your ear I always keep my hair tucked behind both ears when I wear it down with a Sleek middle part
I love montblanc signature but I have found a spot on dupe. The Christina aguilera Definition perfume smells exactly the same but is a cheaper alternative
Just ordered a sample of Narciso! I think opinionated scents talked about this fragrance too. On another note, i am not much of a byredo fan. I ordered a whole bunch of samples and didn’t say yes to any of them. Btw I thought byredo Bal d'Afrique smells like English laundry the blue bottle except there is a vanilla note which I find is better. Love to see your hauls!!!
Would you please let me know who you ordered the NR sample from. Still pretty new to the fragrance world and don’t want to invest too much until I’m sure I love a scent. Thanks.
@@janehess6607 eBay and Mercari girl! It’s more affordable then macys, Sephora or ultra. But sample always. You don’t know in the beginning I would blind buy and not like it at all. I would use mercari to sell them.
Hello ksenja There are perfumes you like I don’t And I like you don’t But there is that one perfume that brings so many women together it’s a bomb It’s rose noir from NR and I don’t like his perfumes and I love different opions on perfumes (Hope my english is enough) Greetings from turkey 🌹
I’m selling my bottle of Trussardi Donna. The jasmine is so overwhelming to me! I get a little lemon and creaminess but way more jasmine. I can’t do it. Jasmine drives me crazy and makes me sneeze.
Montale are all like that...they are potent and oily. Only reason it feels like that is because it is in an aerosol can instead of heavy glass. Trust me it is not empty...I own 14 of them and 13 of Mancera.
I love clean and freshies!!! Montblanc Signature is my absolute favorite perfume. I wish I could get a body lotion and body wash. I got a full bottle for Christmas and it is phenomenal! I picked up that musc rose noire when it first came out (for like $30 with some Macy's points) & it is sooooo sexy and intoxicating. The rose and the musk - it just gives me sexy, unbothered vibes. I would definitely repurchase.
I ordered a sample of Musc Noir Rose as soon as I watched your video, but I really don't like it, on me all I get is pepper pepper and more pepper. And it comes off really masculine. The dry down after an hour or so is a bit better, more feminine, but I just can't get past that pepper note. So glad I didn't blind buy a bottle
I don't know what happened, but I came across my sample again in a drawer, and wow, I sprayed it again and it smells completely different to me now. It's smells nothing like I described in my original comment at all! I am in love with it now ❤
Honestly with Byredo, just save your money and buy the hair mist because the lasting power and projection are the same. I love Sundazed and I layer it with D&G Light Blue Intense
