I just blind bought this online from a department store yesterday! I hope this is distinguishable enough from Baccarat, because i already have a huge bottle of that!
Bacarrat rouge comparisons have taken the place of la vie est belle! I remember when before BR540 everyone described EVERY sweet scent as similar to LVEB or Flowerbomb 😂
I feel like im the only person that doesn’t like BR 540 🤷🏼♀️ so its hard to judge if I would like some perfumes because people are constantly saying they smell similar to 540 and it turns me off completely.
*Alicia Keys voice* This girl is on fiiiiree!! I LOVE your channel so so much. I can literally find the perfect perfume for the perfect occasion, in any season and your picks are always so good. I've found many loved perfumes thanks to you and Rey's recommendations!
I love it too lol...and I don't mind that many people don't discuss it. I never thought it smelled BR540 at all, but, I sprayed it while listening to you and I can see people saying that. This is more complex than BR540. I also think it lasts longer than BR540. I could never choose a favorite from my fragrances. I do like the note description a lot. I have the $600 bottle of BR540....it isn't the best smelling fragrance that I have or have smelled.
I love BR540….BUT I am Anosmic to it!! Five minutes after applying BR540 I can’t smell it at all! I’ve tried spraying different amounts….same result - no smell. My friends can smell it on me, but I want to smell my fragrance all day. Pauline mentions if you can’t smell BR540 you should be able to smell this one. Can’t find a TESTER anywhere, so I might just bite the bullet and buy a full size Montale Arabians Tonka. It sounds sooooo beautiful. I love how you describe this perfume Pauline. Thank you so much for this great video. Teddy UK xx
I just blind bought this one off your recommendation. But boy...am I disappointed. My taste in frags matches your's nearly 80% of times but Arabian Tonka really let me down because it's got the very saffron/ animalic oud note that I just dont like. It's nowhere like Baccarat rouge 540 or even Intense Cafe...
5:13 Since you asked... in the top line of your new "structure" after you list the name of the fragrance you should also always include either EDP or EDT so in scenarios where both versions exist your viewers will be 100% certain of which one to get.
Hello Paulina! I received this perfume yesterday and sprayed it once on my arm to test it. 9 hours passed and it stayed super strong, after I had a shower it stayed on my skin. I only had this experience with Oud for Greatness so I agree this is a bomb. Nevertheless I'd like to know what would you use to make it a tad sweeter being layered, I am thinking about JPG la belle le parfum or vanilla 28, which are your thoughts? I own samples of both Baccarat versions and even though they are in the same scent profile, I feel Baccarat (especially the EDP) is more airy and sweet 🤷♀️ this is my first Montale and blind bought it based on your review amongst others and couldn't be happier. I have the 20 ml bottle and can't think wearing more than 3 sprays of it because it's THAT strong. A non animalic oud yayyy
@@ms.faiththomas4372 I ordered the 24th of April and today (4th May) still hasn't even reached my country yet which is Ireland. For the money I spent I expected a lot better than that.
I’m enjoying your content and the fragrance notes on the screen. Very informative. I love researching a fragrance before ordering it. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Baccarat is so main stream it’s sickening no longer niche it’s not amazing to me anymore never really was very basic like la vie est belle. His other scents smells so much better! But Arabians tonka is amazing omg
I know that your are tired of hearing this 😅, but this is a mix between bacarrat in the beggining and intense Cafe in the base. But you are right, this is dense and sweet, not airy like BR.
Do you like Arabians tonka better or oud satin mood ? I’m only getting myself one for now which one do you think is more sweet ? And kinda like a gourmand
Yes I ♥️ the full note description on the screen I actually said that the video before last I think LOL very different and a small touch that makes a BIG difference I ♥️ your videos and YOU love and good vibes from New Orleans ☺️
I just got a new bottle and checked the batch number and it seems like it’s from February this year. It is pretty weak, definitely does not project much - anyone experiencing the same?
I really enjoy watching your videos you have a beautiful personality and amazing taste in perfume I wish you all the success ,big love from saudi arabia 🥰💗💗💗
Hello sweetie, thanks for this informative review. Actually, I doubt among red oude, Rose's musk, a oud tabacco, and this one you review today which one should I buy. I would be very happy to hear your advice in this regard. Thanks in advance:)
Great review as always🥰do you recommend getting this even if you have bacarat and instant crush?? Love sweet scents and tonka.(and horsebackriding since I was 5,favourite animal) thx❤️
I bought the sample last year because of this review. Mntale's Arabian Tonka's scent is strong and lasts forever. It is okay but not my preference. I sprayed it on the lamp shade in the guest bedroom on Dec 22, 2021 and even until now Jan 6, 2022, I can still smell the strong scent of it whenever I open the guest bedroom.
As a previous comment has said, I too usually agree with the scents recommended by Paulina and felt based on the review that this was a safe buy but Arabians Tonka is a huge disappointment. As stated, I can smell the DNA of BR540 in it & I adore BR540. However, Arabians Tonka has a very musky, masculine edge to it. I found it really unpleasant and had to wash it off. Unfortunately, I blind bought this - expensive mistake. When will I ever learn?🙄
