My "Gatekeep Perfumes"🤫I Don't Want Anyone to Know About These..so I'm Sharing Them With 67K people😑 

The more you share your favourite perfumes, the less likely they are to get discontinued.

Shana- J always gives the best affordable fragrance recommendations. I love her channel. ❤

I have a massive collection of hundreds of perfumes just like Ksenja does and I wanted to share my personal "gatekept" perfumes here in the comment section. I'm no influencer, with no platform, so I thought using the comment section on a related video would be a fun way to give my gatekept fragrances some visibility too. Grain de Soleil by Fragonard. Smells SO CLOSE to the now discontinued Alien Essence Absolue, but it's smoother and more creamier than Alien Essence Absolue. It is a gem that no one talks about. In my top 5 for life. I bought this after desperately searching for an Alien Essence Absolue replacement for months and I literally cried from joy when I sprayed this. Ancient Amber by Be Layered. It's a one note amber fragrance. To me, it literally smells like cream soda + amber. It's super gourmand, sweet, and it's just the sweetest, most delicious amber. I don't know why but it just reminds me of cream soda every time. Like a very rich, dark, syrupy and deep cream soda, if that makes sense. Nomade Jasmin Naturel Intense by Chloé. I always see this Nomade flanker not get talked about nearly as much as the main Nomade. This flanker has some of the most gorgeous jasmine in here. Coupled with the dates in here, imagine eating luscious and delicious gourmand dates while smelling the most intoxicating, exotic jasmine. It's incredibly stunning. Sun by Jil Sander. Why does no one here talks about this?? I think it's more popular in Europe. Anyway, it smells like sunscreen, like a day at the beach, and invokes a similar feeling as J Lo's Miami Glow does. This is a heavier, more vintage take on a sunscreen-y type of scent, though, which might not be everyone's cup of tea. Kelly Caleche Eau de Parfum by Hermès. A more pristine, cleaned up version of their arguably "dirtier" EDT version. I rarely hear this one talked about. It sort of has a Coco Mademoiselle vibe going on but it's so different, but they're cousin fragrances. It's bright, gorgeous, and the leather note in here is like having an essence of a high end leather purse or glove. The EDT's leather is far more unruly. Stash by SJP smells A LOT like Tom Ford's Santal Blush. So much so that I'm actually wearing Santal Blush as we speak and find the similarities too uncanny. This won't be for everyone, but for those who love Santal Blush by Tom Ford, this scratches that itch. I don't see it talked about that often and it can be found for super cheap. Iris Crush by Jimmy Choo reminds me a lot of the now discontinued Lipstick On by Maison Martin Margiela, but dare I say it... I think Iris Crush is even better. Tamarindo by Memo Paris. I hear people talk about so many Memo Paris fragrances but this almost never seems to be brought up. It's one of my all time favorites. I can't even describe how stunning it is, and criminally underrated in the Memo Paris lineup. Sweet, tropical, fruity, with some spicy notes to ground it and some patchouli in the base, although to my nose the patchouli is very refined and well blended here. Poppy by Coach. I love Coach Poppy! An oldie but a goodie. Someone gave this to me as a gift over ten years ago and I've had it in my collection ever since, and I have backup bottles because that's how much I adore it. It says poppy in the name, but I always get told I smell like watermelon jolly ranchers, in the best way possible. Kathleen Lights introduced me to Gucci II, her favorite perfume, which is now discontinued. I got it back in the day, fell in love, and was devastated when Gucci discontinued Gucci II. In my search, I found a ton of people saying that a perfume called Eclat No 222 smells just like it, and oh boy, they were right. It's a German brand, I think, and so it took a second to get here, but when I got it, I screamed at how close this smelled to Gucci II. I literally couldn't believe it. Casmir by Chopard. I rarely hear this one talked about. It is a delicious peach fragrance with jasmine, florals, a very soft and powdery vanilla. It's not a very bold fragrance but it's effortlessly gorgeous, soft, and very "pretty" smelling while also being reminiscent of something an exotic princess would wear. I love this one so much, too. I could just sniff the nozzle of this perfume for hours and get lost in a trance. Star by Mauboussin. Very sweet, unisex, a bit gourmand. It's somewhat reminiscent of By the Fireplace, but also not. It's its own thing for sure. It honestly reminds me also a bit of Kilian's Princess. It's not nearly as thick and heavy on the smoky aspect as By the Fireplace is. It has fig, coconut, iris, vanilla, tonka bean, praline, woody notes, etc. So while it has some of the vibes of By the Fireplace, it obviously has completely different notes. It's far more wearable as an every day scent than By the Fireplace. It's totally unisex in my opinion and stunning. I think I got it for like $30 something dollars on Amazon. Anyway, those are my personal gatekept perfumes.

If you have body mists that you are gatekeeping, we would like to see that also.

I would delete this video quick if I was you ☠️😭

I'm not sure if anyone else remembers this but this DEFINITELY happened so back in 2011, Selena Gomez had her fans help her vote on the top, middle and base notes for her upcoming perfume and I honestly remember doing this I just got a wave of nostalgia when I confirmed it on Google 😂😫 but yet I still have not smelled this fragrance! I hope to find it one day!

BR540, ari cloud and the likes are not common in my country. I wear cloud so when people ask me what I'm wearing I tell them it's BR540 so they wouldn't want to buy it when they see the price 🤣

NR Fleur Musc is criminally underrated. My husband goes feral for it and I ALWAYS get compliments from men when I wear it. Pink pepper, peony, rose And their signature musk. Stunner

Love Shana J too! Thrifty gal!

My gatekeep perfume is Coach Poppy. It's an old perfume, but it smells so wonderful. Great video

Omg!! It’s soooo true about Mugler perfumes. I’ve been wearing Angel for years and the company has gone down hill since his passing. It’s really sad. I actually emailed them about it once and never heard back from them. I’m not a big fan of Alien but I do purchase the smallest bottles of the different ones they come out with just to have the beautiful bottles in my Mugler collection. I did live the red one.

I'm glad you mentioned Bronze Goddess and Selenas' perfume. Both are on my future wishlist!✨

Thank u so much for shouting out youtuber Shana J channel. Adore y'all channels!!! Oh yeah, Wonderstruck #YES!

I bought Bronze Goddess because of your recommendation and I love it so much. Thank you!

I LOVE my Bronze Goddess I have both the edp and the eau fraice version. They both smell so good for summer ❤

My gatekeeper perfume is Hugo Boss Ma vie, it’s so soft and elegant. Cactus flower note is so underrated, its on the top but its present the whole time blending beautifully with jasmine in the middle and woody notes at the base.

The thing that I love and the reason I subscribe to your channel is because it is obvious to me that you have your own nose and make your own decisions regarding scent and I really appreciate that

I'm so happy you shouted out Shana. She was my very first perfume reviewer and my favorite clean girl. I love that you, a sweet girl, and she have a scent you can both adore. See her vlog channel for why I've been rewatching her old vids.

How funny! I saw Downtown a couple weeks ago on clearance and kept passing it up. Just went and bought it. I love Laura Mercier Ambre Vanille. The Coconut Almond is equally delicious.

I loved that video! If you ever want a dupe for Taylor Swift Wonderstruck perfume, Oakcha have one and to my nose, it is very similar 🙂 I have the original and the dupe and I can now wear this scent knowing that there is an affordable option avalible ❤

Everyone just keep it off Tiktok and we can keep it in our community here!!!!

I love love love bronze goddess and all the alien perfumes❤️

Love this video! Have you ever tried Versace Dylan purple ? I think you would love it 😊

I don’t own a bottle of Bronze Goddess but i completely agree with you - it’s amazing! i was in love with this scent since i got my highlighter (same name), and then I’ve found out that there is an actual perfume and now i need a bottle desperately

Amber vanille from LM is my fave perfume of all time and no the formula hasn’t been changed just the bottle!

So excited to try these 💖💖

I have Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche and have loved it for several years! I believe the bottle you have is the old edp maybe like the 2017 version? The current Bronze Goddess lineup has a different note breakdown from what I understand, but still really solid perfumes.

But can we talk about the glowy Goddess blush❤❤ stunning❤❤

I absolutely love bronze goddess, both versions that are out I love

Bronze Goddess is one of my absolute favs and I’m surprised not many talk about it. I get that it’s a very specific scent though.

Naxos has been on my list for so long !! You just made me bring it up to my next 5 purchases hopefully.

I have Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche and I really love it. I wish I could test the Noir version

THAT calvin klein is sooo strong wow. projection and longevity is good for a lifetime. Its very nice for summer

New here and just love this content❤thank you for not gate keeping😂you are gorgeous!❤❤❤

I just got Mango Skin from Vilhelm Parfumerie and I’m lying in a fluffy mango cloud watching your video. I feel like you’d like it. ❤

That's a great list! Thank you! 🥰 Perfumes by Antonio Banderas and Christina Aguilera are soo underrated and I almost never hear anyone talk about them. I would especially recommend Definition by Christina Aguilera. It's so long-lasting and it's truly a beast mode fragrance when it comes to projection. Some people compare it to Signature by Montblanc. Her Golden Secret by Antonio Banderas (I would say a lot lighter version of Alien) smells much more expensive than it is. I tested a new fragrance of his just yesterday (Her Secret Absolu), and it was stunning!

Omg I love Alien Fusion so much that i have a backup, also the Bronze Goddness i have the Lumière version

Zadig et Voltaire This is Her is so underrated but smells divine, gives me bougee young girl vibes I love it (but might get discontinued). Also love l'insolence from Guerlain

Just gotta say- i LOVE your big, plump red strawberry on your shelf! Edit: OMG, i just spied the 🍄! Too cute! Ill try DownTown!

TS Wonderstruck is my #1 perfume!!! I have recently ran out of it and i can't find a bottle for a reasonable price 😢. Love your videos!! ✌🏻CT

Laura mercier has 2 other Fragrances in TJMaxx but nothing like Ambre Vanille which I do have. 😉 One of my gatekeeping fragrance is Valentino …..Rock & Rose smelllllsssssss heavenly delicious. I know you will like that one since we have same taste 🤗❣️

You look stunning 🌸

These sound amazing!! My goal in life now is to smell as many perfumes as I can. 😂 Then get the ones I love. My fave is Lacoste Pour Femme but it’s discontinued and I think they changed the formula and Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline another one I think may get discontinued. 😢

Bronze Goddess is so dang good!!! I have the new bottle..and it is good

Thank you so much for this. What’s the longevity on the Be Layered Gelato? I absolutely LOVE gourmand scents & would like to get this to layer with my others. Can you please let me know? I’m about to order it. Thanks so much. 😊🙏🍦🍨

I remember when you showed downtown in a video a while back I ended up getting a package of samples from eBay and I loved it! There was a perfume called Marrakesh that I loved and they stopped making it and I got several bottles and the last one I kept and wanted to use it sparingly but it went bad. That was my gate keep.

I’m gatekeeping Matsu Sakura, which I haven’t seen anywhere. I always get so many compliments

Oakcha released a Wonderstruck dupe recently! I haven't smelled it or the original, but thought I'd put fans on it since it's discontinued.

Bronze Goddess is my sig summer scent….i will ALWAYS have a big bottle in my collection…..and a back up bc…..I love it that much 😂😂❤❤❤

Beyonce Pulse - The blue one. So Good!!!! Never talked about.

Omg wonderstruck is SO GOOD! This was one of the perfumes I was hooked on as a kid and its hard to find now. My other favorite celebrity scents was Justin Bieber key, and the Hannah Montana perfume which surprisingly got me compliments growing up 🤣 My current gatekeep perfume is wildbloom vert by Banana Republic. Affordable, decent longevity, and gets so many compliments. I think you'd love this one

Thanks for giving Shauna J a shout out bc she is great! I love it when RU-vidrs in similar categories support and promote each other💗 Thanks also for sharing some of your “hidden” gems w/us🤫😂

Alien fusion is my number one in my collection and I have over 100 perfumes. It is so good! So sexy I absolutely adore it.❤

Issey miyake pure nectar & marc jacobs daisy love daze are my two oldies but goodies

downtown used to be my signature scent. I’d used it for about 5 years & nothing else. it’s too nostalgic for me at this point, I can’t use it anymore; but it’s so good.

All I can smell with Fusion is cinnamon on my skin to my nose. I also have Alien (purple), which is just oke. But my favorite is Aura.

Laura Mercier is one of my favs. Got mine in Marshalls for $20 EDT wish it was a EDP

Thanks girl 💓 mine is Missioni edp

you look exactly like Alyssa Milano omggg so pretty!

I love the Selena Gomez perfume. I've had that perfume a few years.

I have that same bottle of Bronze Goddess. I treasure it as my favorite summer scent! It's just ME in a bottle! So sad they changed the formula. It is lighter, watered down.

Aire Loco by Loewe is such a hidden gem. I wish more people knew about it so it would become more widely available 😁 So many of my friends who I got to try it loved it, makes me wonder how come nobody ever talks about it in the fragrance community. Might be discontinued, but I see some bottles still being sold online. Such a beautiful spring-summer scent imo

Omg alien fusion has been my go to for so long

You kind of remind me of Sammy from Jersey shore very pretty and I’m so excited. I love perfume. It’s my favorite thing ever.

Girl, Bronze Goddess, Downtown and Ambre Vanille (also the body cream) are my gatekeep too hahahah I have mixed feelings about this video 😂🤭

You got lucky with the mercier 😢I heard the new ones are really weak

Can u try new bronze goddess flanker Bronze Goddess Nuit? I am very curious about that.

Love your taste ❤

Shawn Mendes first perfume was soooooo gooooddd

Great recommendations! Where can I find the CK downtown?

I love Alien Fusion but I was gatekeeping it since it’s discontinued. It’s so sexy! Hopefully not to many people start wearing it 😂

oh gosh not my Alien Fusion!!! haha it's one of my faves too and i get compliments with it like crazy! so sad that Mugler had to let this one go 😭 idk what they were thinking

so pretty

Not a perfume I gatekeep… I wish more people talked about it! Gucci Guilty Absolute Pour Femme is a stunning fragrance.

Mine is Hanae Mori signature scent; a close dupe for Ylang in Gold by M.Miccalef

My gatekeep perfume is Ultraviolet and nlack xs l'exces. Both by Paco Rabanne

Shana J Is That Girl 🥰

I remember always seeing downtown by Calvin Klein at T.J.Maxx. Smells nice but I get pencil shavings. It’s pretty pricey now bc it’s discontinued.

DOWN TOWN is very good for summer, from sexy fruity juicy it develops into feminine fluffy creamish sweetish soft cleanliness, if only it was ''stronger'' and projected more...In Europe Bronze Godess is valued and popular, apparently the niut (blac bottle) is the best recent flanker. Angel Fusion had its moment on perfume you tube despite some saying it wasn't long lasting. Today some compare to Armani Prive Rouge Malachite . I thought NAXOS already has a CULT PERFUME status, at least on you tube :)

My gatekeep perfumes are all discontinued they’re the good chemistry line from target the og ones not the rebrand, old vs perfumes that u can only find on Mercari , and Elizabeth and James Nirvana which again Mercari but they’re not that expensive . U really need to try the Nirvana brand I feel like you’d love them.

I had alien fusion but I couldn’t keep it because of the pepper in it was making me sneeze all the time:( if it wasn’t for that I would have kept it

Bronze Goddess is the most potent beachy gorgeous coconut ever!

Have you tried Bianco Latte yet? I think you would like it

My gatekeep perfume is kenzo flower l’elixir. You can’t find it anywhere anymore which sucks because it’s sooo good.

As I heard downtown....girl in my mind it's s @SHANA- J❤

i have the oakcha dupe for wonderstruck called 'lost in ink'.....i get a lot of compliments when i wear it. If summer at twilight had a scent, this would be it.

Oakcha has a dupe for Wonderstruck called Lost In Ink!

When I was younger and worked at kohls back before they had Sephora in them they had a jewelry and makeup counter and I always sprayed Taylor swift wonderstruck on me at the beginning of my shift 😂

Victoria Secret bare is the ultimate your skin but better. I’m one of those that can’t smell missing person, not a perfume, or glossier you… but bare smells amazing on me especially in high heat, it mixes with sweat well. My other gatekeeper is discontinued so I hate to say it; but I love matcha meditation from replica, it’s a creamy, chocolatey smell and I get really good projection and lasting power from it.

Naxos is a unisex masterpiece🎉i think everyone has to have it in their collection. Many people thinks it's masculine, but it smells great on women too❤

I think DKNY perfumes are underrated too !! They have AMAZING scents I always buy them and they’re affordable too ! 🍏🍏🍏

Bronze Goddess is nothing like the one in that mirror bottle. I used to have that and it was made in the early 2000. The newer one is totally different and very weak. Ton Ford collaborated with Estee Lauder and. Created a Bronze Goddess that was stunning. It's long gone and u can't find it anywhere anymore. This was around 2003 ish

Guys DONTwaste your money on the Bronze Goddess. It's nothing like the old school one. First it has no longevity whatsoever. U can spray it 30 times and it disappears minutes later. No joke. It also smells NOTHING like the early 2000 scent. It's totally different and bad. Go with oakcha. It has better longevity and its cheaper. Oil perfumary is even better bc the oils are powerful. The dupe houses are a better option and affordable and they are killing it.

I never got the hype about flower bomb did like that fragrance and yak mon Paris

I understand however most often fragrances smell differently on different people. 😊

I thought I am selfish, I have an obsession with perfumes and wanted to create my own collection but unfortunately a few of my close friends copied me and now are wearing same frags that I adore even though I asked not to copy me but get their own favorite. I completely understand you and agree 100% everyone should have their own favorite and others shouldn’t copy you. There are millions of frags, common people you don’t have to smell the same like chicken in a cage.

Olympus legend is discontinued and it was my favourite perfume is way better than the original very gourmand and nice😢😢❤❤

I love wonderstruck by Taylor swift!

Darn it Ksenja we DONT talk about fight club…or Alien Fusion!!!! 😅😅 I have to go online MONTHLY to find bottles!!! Shhh 🤫 girl!!!! It’s my signature 😅BUT since you did mention my fav perfume 😢😢 we ALL need to write into Mugler MONTHLY…I do 😂

Watch these all be in ur next declutter lol .
