I Love, Love, LOVE your RU-vid Videos. Everything is Sóo organized. The hyperlinks, your descriptions of the perfumes, the discounts and much more. Congratulations with EVERYTHING you do🖤🖤
Junoon Oud does not smell ANYTHING like Oud and it is a beast mode. It smells fresh and juicy. It doesn’t come off for hours. I have not smelled Vibrato but I have seen multiple RU-vidrs compare it to Tygar and Vibrato, which seem to be very similar. Compliments up the wazoo with this gem. I do not need to smell Vibrato. My wallet and I are happy for sure. The best of all? I feel unique and empowered. It is not your typical freshie. I got it due to your recommendation and I could not be any happier. Thanks for making it easier on us because our shading fragrances is not an easy task without someone trusted in the community.
You are in GREAT hands with Junoon Oud! Seriously 1 for 1 dupe for $325 Vibrato. You’re so right very empowering to find THIS quality at this price point Claudia.
Valaya is definitely beast mode on me. Projection, sillage, and longevity out of this world! It’s my #1 most complimented for 2023 off my 2 decants alone 😩❤️
In the last two weeks, I don’t know what the heck happened, but I am absolutely OBSESSED with the OG Black Opium. I’m also loving Angel Elixir - like I’ve just been craving the designers even over my amazing niche scents.
My most complimented are Her Narcotic Flower (Julianna’s dupe of Fleur Narcotique), Zaharoff Of the Immortals, Commodity Velvet+, BDK Gris Charnel, Kerosene Sweetly Known, and most recently Navitus Baklava Royale. I walked by a guy in the grocery store wearing BR, and he said “What the hell smells so good??? WHO IS THAT?” I didn’t think it was me bc I couldn’t smell it (I go nose blind sooooo bad to everything). He followed me around and came up to me and said “It’s YOU! What is that???” I shared the Navitus website with him and several other people that picked up on the scent, so I hope they checked out some other fragrances. 😊
I blind bought guidance because of you and I wore that thing out!!! It was not a safe blind buy but it worked out for me! It did not disappoint with the compliments either!😊❤️🙏🏽
Hi Sharida! 🥰 Valaya layered with Delina La Rosee? 🤔 Sounds like a must try! You tell some of the best stories about compliments! Finally have a sample of Jump Up and Kiss Me on the way. Looking forward to trying it. Happy New Year! 🎉✨️🌟🎊
Can't wait to get my nose on Vanille Leather. I already have 4 BDKs and can't wait to get my nose on more of them. My best ones were Dama Bianca, Café Chantant, Cruz del Sur II, Dolce Amalfi, Lust for Sun, Princess. Mostly got 1 compliment for each.
I received Guidance as a Mother’s Day gift after listening to your review, and baby you described it to a T. It’s all that and some. I have Valaya on my wishlist as soon as I see a deal I’m grabbing it.
Girl, I’m surprised people are getting body odor and poo from GUIDANCE. I actually blind bought this scent based on the notes and test it is pricey, but it’s the most potent and feminine scent that last. I took a shower and I still smelled it
Valaya, Althair and Guidance were the best releases for 2023 for sure. Enjoyed this video as well! Nothing beats a random compliment. Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year 🎊 😊
I’m here Sharida!!! I’ve blind bought so many fragrances in 2023 because of your suggestions and have only disliked one. I trust your nose going in 2024! Wishing you peace and blessings into the New Year.
I have Junoon Oud and it's a 1:1 dupe for Vibrato. I have both and I'm always amazed at how close they are. It's crazy. Scent and performance are the same and I get complements on Junoon Oud every time I wear it. Literally like, at the post office waiting in line, in line at Chick-fil-A. Lol.
My most complimented are Delina Exclusif layered with Roses Vanille, Baccarat layered with Lost Cherry, Valentino Donna Born in Roma and Burberry Her Elixir. HOWEVER, my new LOVE is yours, Mahni Cassonade! It's my new favorite vanilla ❤.
I love Black Opium Le Parfum!! That Vanilla quartet mixed with the coffee is absolutely beautiful! I’ve never smelled the OG Black Opium, lol. Sharida, have you tried Jimmy Choo Vanilla Love?? It’s soooo good!!! It puts me in the mind of Kay Ali Vanilla Sugared Patchouli 64🥰 Thanks so much for this video❤️❤️❤️
I don't know why but Guidance reminds me of Santal Royal by Guerlain-just minus the oud and leather. It's a weird one-nutty and slightly coconutty, fruity with the apricot. I don't like it everyday but there are days which I do like it and wear it. I really like it in the Fall.
So Sharida yesterday I was in the store and sprayed on Guidance on skin and clothes....in the beginning it was like no ma'am I smell..BO...But about 20 minutes later..it became really nice....so the beginning is different but that dry down is 🔥🔥🔥...so I don't know how to feel about it
"Vanille Leather" is beautiful. However, I will not be adding it to my collection, only because I hate white florals, and they are pronounced in this fragrance. I get a lot of tuberose, which I dislike. Underneath the white florals are the heavier notes, which are stunning; I wanted these notes to take center stage because this is where the magic is. I also enjoy the powdery aspect of this fragrance. On me, this fragrance is what a lot of people would label "feminine". Happy New Year, Sharida.
As a white floral lover, I was going to ask HOW could you not like white florals!? Lol. But when you say tuberose, I 100% get you - I rarely enjoy that note tbh x
Oh wow! Yep that says a lot! Some people say they are getting 30 minutes from Guidance 🫨😵💫!! HOW is this possible. Just really shows you how wildly subjective performance can be.
Sharida!! You already know how I feel about Guidance….but the rest of these I purchased because of your recommendation! I don’t yet have Lionara or Black Opium Le Perfum…ordering today before my “no buy” kicks in for 2024 😂😂😂
Watching this video as I get packed for a NYE trip with my husband- deciding if I’m going to wear Delina la Rosee or Valaya tonight, and I hear your recommendation! These are both on my top 10 fragrance list. I’m going to try your rec tonight and report back!
Yes! Junoon Oud is lovely. I paid 60€, I don't pick up any oud. Love the rosewood note, too! Al Haramain don't play! Also love Junoon Noir, which Dupes Xerjoff's Dama Bianca. Also around 60€. Black Opium, I never really cared for. I found it headache inducing But the Le Parfum flanker? Stunning. Vanilla, vanilla, vanilla.
Hey Sharida! My SOTD is a heavy dose of Guerlain SDV plus Mahni Cassonade over it! 😁 I bought CC Jump Up and Kiss Me because of you, I’m not a tuberose girl but I love this. 🥰 Have a wonderful New Year lovely Sharida!🎉🎉🎉
I tried Guidance because of you! At first I didn’t understand. But I purchased a sample and wore it on skin. I am fighting for my life DAILY trying to stop myself from swiping my card 🤣🤣🤣 I think I’m just going to have to give up. LOL
Yes Guidance did its damn thing 🙌🏻 Vanille Leather is my current obsession - so wearable and beautiful, but not too sweet and on me not gourmand 🤩 Happy New Year 🎊🍾🥂
I love tuberose so the Clive Christian "Jump Up and Kiss Me" sounds beautiful but, on a teacher's salary I can't justify the price. It sounds wonderful.
Hi Sharida and Happy New Year! I love hearing your stories about the people who are enamored by your fragrances!! I remember how excited you were about Guidance from the very beginning. So, is it your number one purchase for 2023? Thank you for my number one compliment getter this year - Oud Bouquet layered with Delina Exclusif! I have gotten compliments from people who don’t like rose fragrances. - Ms. Charlette
One thing I love, is a fragrance compliment! And one thing Guidance is gonna do, is get a compliment 😂. I love how much attention that fragrance attracts. Hate it or love it, it’s a crowd pleaser. Crazy right 🤷🏾♀️😂
Me too, not to brag..I wear it in a soft and subdued way so people have to enter into my scent bubble to smell it on me, but when they do men and women have complimented me. Mahni Cassonade is my most complimented frag of 2023, followed by HOS Mickey Mouse
Hey Sharida. I’m very to have discovered your channel this year. You have amazing content. Congratulations to you and your daughter on Mahni Cassonade. Happy New Year. May God bless you with many more 💜
Happy New Year 🎊🎉🥳🥂🍾. Love your list especially Guidance & Valaya😍😍. I still have to sample Althair, been avoiding going to the fragrance stores incase I get tempted🤔🤔. Stay gorgeous 🥰🥰
Happy new year. Thank you for your great reviews. I got to explore sospiro and mind games sometime. I’m surprised scherzo didn’t make the cut. Love love that scent. Happy new year once again!
Do you find that guidance seems to be more intimate than beast mode? I see all these comments on Tik Tok and fragnantica that states that the fragrance is BEAST. However I have gotten several decants, as well as several mini samples, as well as one full bottle from Neiman and Marcus and also one full bottle from the actual AMOUAGE site… all of my samples and my decants and both full bottles are so… intimate?? Like I don’t feel like I’m being “choked out” by the scent as people have been known to comment. I know for sure my decants, samples, and full bottles are all authentic since they ALL smell the same, and were all bought from different websites and not just one place. Anyone else feel like it’s a soft intimate scent and not a BEAST? I can’t tell if my nose is broken. The scent definitley lasts long… it just seems to remain soft . I don’t understand how people will say things like: “TWO SPRAYS MAX!! “ For me… that doesn’t even seem to cut it
It’s literally the strongest scent in my collection lol. Performance really is subjective because body chemistry plays a role there. When you wear it do people smell it on you? I find the opinions of others is a much better indicator of performance because we can go nose blind to certain notes and definitely to beast mode scents because they tend to overwhelm the nose.
Hi Sharida, First of all I just want to let you know that you are trully stunning and you ooze so much class.... Great Video... I would truly love to have your Niche perfume collection, I have 200+ bottles and have always been obsessed with perfumes since I was very young, but here in Australia we get charged way to much and I cant afford the high quality Niche perfumes 😢 Hopefully one day Happy New Year to you and your Family ❤
Hey YT cousin... wait until you smell the Black Opium Over Red.... I pinky promise you, You're going to have something to preach about. WAIT FOR IT, WAIT FOR IT!
