OVERRATED/POPULAR PERFUMES I DO NOT LIKE...🤢❌ 

The dry down of devotion is AMAZING

i think because so many perfume videos are about the ones that are soooooo loved that it gets stale and people look forward to seeing what you dont like and why. its refreshing.

U look like a Disney Princess. Like a mixture of Belle and Arielle. I love u and ur content, you are so girly, i like how you speak without any mistake, fluently. And ur makeup is always on point! 😊😊😊

I felt the same about Devotion! I tried it in store yesterday and was honestly appalled lol

Angel's Share is one of my favorites, because it smells like the filling of an apple pie and totally embodies fall/winter for me. It is intense and I remember wearing it to a Halloween party and being a little overwhelmed by it. For me, it's a strictly "cold weather" fragrance, which means 3 days of the year living in Florida 😂

So funny how noses can differ. I loooove devotion and LIRA is the one that smelled like pine sol to me 😅😂

devotion is one of my biggest compliment grabbers, love it !

Oohh tell me more about perfumes on cruises! I’m going on one soon and will definitely have to check them out.

I remember smelling a fragrance strip in a magazine that’s wasn’t mine for flower bomb so much so that I took the page out of the magazine. Smelling like that was my new mission in life. That started my love of perfumes

On my skin, Devotion starts like lemon ice tea (store bought one), and later on it's just vanilla. It's funny how much difference skin makes.

I also hate Flowerbomb and Angel’s Share. But I love Fresh Cream. I wear it to bed often, so the lack of longevity doesn’t bother me, it just feels comforting

I didn’t like devotion at first, but the more I smell it the more I am liking it now. I layer it with lira ! Smells so good!!

Love the Burberry edt! To me it smells like Asian white grape candies😊 love to hear different opinions on fragrances, so keep doing you girl!!!!

K so I don’t understand how anyone could give hate because of your recommendations .. that’s super duper weird! Am I wrong?? Like don’t we watch you for your recommendations? Plus .. great you don’t like a perfume, but they do… GREAT! If we all liked the exact same scents.. life would be SOOOO boring!

I'm sooo excited for your Arab perfume video. I was just about to ask if you will be making one soon. Can't wait! 🥰🥰💞

Love the honesty and tea! 👀

I love very good girl! I totally get people not loving it. Its a very interesting blend which settles differently on everyone.

😮I love devotion 😮I Ilove valaya Mystic bouquet is a very good dupe for valaya.

Angels share is loud. Totally agree about not wearing it in warm weather. I was in a bar on a summers evening and someone else was wearing it and I found it suffocating and I love strong fragrances.

I have the angels share and honestly it’s for winter wear only and depends on your body chemistry. It can turn sour and stinky on certain ppl. Luckily it doesn’t turn that way on me it’s sweet and mellow on me

Fresh cream warm cashmere is one of my faves... smells like a softer more cookie like Bianco Latte on my skin.. total fave. I love the start of Devotion, I almost purchased it, but the dry down does not work on my skin at all. I loved the first 30 min, but then needed to wash it off. I tried Angel Share and loved it. I have a rule that I test 3 times before purchasing. Two more tries to go, lol. I really dislike flower bomb on me. All I could smell was sweet powder. I didn't like Fresh cream, I don't remember why? Funny how on skin, the scents change. Great vid as usual :)

Yes, get Kamrah. It’s amazing. I love this scent so much I feel like I need to buy double back ups. 😂 can’t wait to see your Arab perfume video. Modest Deux is also amazing.

Had same experience with devotion, it is just to messy on my skin. And I also am not a fan of the OG Flowerbomb, however if you consider buying a flowerbomb again in the future, try the newest flanker called tiger lilly, that one I do like and enjoy! From the herrera line I have the OG Good Girl, The Very Good Girl Glam & The Blush Elixer and thats it for me 3 stiletto heels is enough😂 I am pretty curious about the newest flanker of the pepe jeans glasses, notes sound promising

I didn't like Devotion at first. It took me a while to come around to it. Now I love it! I have found to love it after layering it w iced lemon pound cake from BBW and lemon custard from Philosophy. Love your videos! ❤

I agree with almost all of these, especially Valaya I really dislike that one. I said the same thing you said I think it was a aldehydes. except I do love, devotion and Angel’s Share. I just found your channel recently, and I love all your content so much!❤️

I absolutely love these videos ❤

Hi Ksenja! Mystique Bouquet from Afnan is a very good dupe of Valaya and you'd probably like it since people complain about the Akigalawood featured in Valaya - and it's not listed in MB. It's very clean and feminine and the bottle is stunning!

Excited for this!

Hey there. So I used to love fresh cream, but there was something about it that I did not like after a while on my skin and I think you just pinpointed it. It turned to a sour milk smell definitely. I do, however, like the fresh cream warm cashmere, as well as the fresh cream, soft suede, those I think are both very good and warm and cozy. Thanks for the video I enjoyed it.

1. truly hate BR540/ Cloud/ Burberry Her/All other similar perfumes. I cannot stand them. 2. Miami Glow is another one i feel very overrated. 3. Angel and Alien make me nauseous

I love the dry down of devotion! Cozy and addictive ❤

Hi Ksenja Khamrah is a fantastic fragrances it is worth getting it is one of my fragrances I get a ton of completed on. You will love it so much, love your videos

I first tried a decant of angels share and was under impressed. When I revisited it it grew on me! I side eyed the price tag of the OG so thought dupes would satisfy me. They didn’t. I ended up buying it at a decent price second hand and now need to declutter my dupes.

I respect your opinion of course and love your videos. I do love Flowerbomb lol. I see the similarity to La vi est Belle but I actually don't like La Vi and love flowerbomb. To me FB is more delicate, more feminine sofisticated. I get freshly made cookies with flowers around it and some tea note. I love it. When I first purchase it it has a woody note as well, as it got older that woody note is not there anymore. I also love Fresh cream lol. It hits the spot for me.

Omg THANK YOU for the take on PDM valaya, I felt the exact same way when i tried it!! I was influenced by TikTok to order a sample and as soon as I sprayed it on my skin my nose was overwhelmed in the worst way. All I get from it is an intense screechy dryer sheet smell. I typically love clean girl scents, but this was one was not it for me. Wish I understood the TikTok hype but I’m glad I’m not alone!

I am so in love with Angel Share but I'm not paying that much. Lol

Can not wait for your oponion on Khamrah by Lattafa, it was always sold out, but I managed to find it at the last, was so excited and... it is ok, but not really for me... I smelled Angel's share very long time ago and do not remember how it smells...

Valaya is sooo sceeetchy to my nose to😘Dont get it at all!! But to some, its very beautiful and we are all right in our own way❤ Love these videos😅

I'm excited for the Arab perfume vid. Habibi and Afnan ads've been popping up in my ads. More upscale houses than Target-like Lattafa, Swiss Arabian and Al Haramain? I'd like to know about the quality from department store to higher priced. Arab women have commented on other Arab perfume reviews that their kids, or them when they were really young, buy these scents but we all know that some of the "affordables" are to die for and shouldn't be talked down. I'd like to know the truth.

Fresh cream is so good, especially w their body lotion. ❤

Oh I’m so surprised by Burberry her EDT! I loooove that one, it’s so sweet and fresh and juicy on me. I wonder if it’s one of the floral notes that are irritating you!

Hey Ksenja! Go get Khamra,it's so amazing and a compliment getter for autumn&winter🧡(haven't tried Killian AS but Khamra is amazing as it is). I don't like Lira, and then Devotion smells like Lira+smoked bacon - I was just so repulsed (I wanted it to be a love so bad because of the bottle😆) The majority of Narciso Rodriguezes are a no go for me🤷‍♀️ Valaya smells to me as a Baccarat rouge, Instant crush type of smell, nothing exciting there for me🙄 But Flowerbomb, omg,I just love it,but agree,soooo expensive... still haven't bought it for the same reason. Love your videos and always looking forward to a new one! Greeting from a fellow Balkan ❤️

I was with you until you mentioned Angels Share 😜 it’s one of my favorites for the cooler months. I came across it when I was just getting into fragrances a couple years ago and remember thinking…that’s different. At that point I only knew the more generic but popular perfumes like flowerbomb. so angels share opened me up to a whole new world of fragrance. But also, it smells amazing to me 😆

I prefer Akro Bake to Lira & Devotion. It's actually 1 of my top 10 favorites. I adore it.

Kilian’s Angels Share is in my top 5 for life! ✨ On my skin, it comes off as a deep, boozy vanilla with a hint of cinnamon & and woody base 😍 Plus, it lasts an eternity. lol

I want to add that yes try the Khamrah. I didn’t like it at first and then I loved it. I think it’s similar to angel share but not exact and I like it more. My daughter likes Angel share better. I also have the coffee version (Qahwa). But I ended up liking the og version better. I’ll be gifting to my sis because she likes coffee note scents. I think for the price point you can try it out. I got around $30. The Qahwa was around $50 I think because it was really popular at that moment. So definitely shop around.

I just watched TheMomLatrice 13 viral Arabian perfume review and obsessed with the ones she talked about. I'm curious what you may think about those if you haven't already tried them

please make your "forever repurchase scent body mist and perfume"😌 we have the same fav scent ,your my go to next to fragrantica🤣

hello! I am wondering if you would like Angels Share if you were able to try it in the dead of winter when its like 20 degrees out. You live in a very warm state, I live in NY and really love this one at Christmas time, BUT if I were to spray it when it's warm out...hell no it would stroke me out

Valaya didn’t grow on me until I let the bottle set for a while. I found that the brand new PDM perfumes don’t smell as good until the bottle sits for a bit. Once that fragrance matures, it smells incredible

these are my favorite videos

Ksenja can you make a video of perfumes with rose notes that you like ? I love rose but is so hard to find a beautiful creamy soft beautiful rose fragrance. And preferably not to expensive 😅 The only one i have that i love is issey miyake rose and rose.

OMG I am sooo with you on Devotion! It smells like pinecones with lysol and sugar! And the way that people defend it, it's like they have shares in D&G, sheesh! Also, so many people say "it took them a while to like it" and I think; why? If you don't like a fragrance buy another one! Don't allow influencers to brain wash you into liking something you don't!

If you ever happen to find A Girl In Capri by Lanvin, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. It's a soft citrus with a hint of summer warmth that I find absolutely delicious.

I feel you so much! I do like Angel's share and Fresh cream. I hate the rest 😂, I even get nausea and headaches with them. Btw, I've seen that Khamrah is similar, but it is duping another fragrance that has dates (I can't remember the name, sorry). I get with Khamrah a sweet apple pie with lots of cinnamon, I love it. Try it first! Do. Not. Blind. Buy!!!! And do not overspray, trust me on that 😅 You'll choke yourself. Love the new hair color 😊

I agree with you on most of them except for Very good girl! That one is one of my favorites ever 😍 but totally can see how it can be too lychee forward

ive never heard of anyone liking NR for her edp. the edt is the only one that matters theres not a single fragrance i disagree with 👍

I feel the same way about every single perfume you mentioned. Flower bomb nectar is good

Love your channel but I cannot agree with you on several of choices Valaya had to get the dupe ( Mystic Bouquet) , Very good Girl and devotion and some of my favs but i cannot stand flower bomb. I have tried it several times last time was last week. It was wayyyyy to strong, It smells really mature to me

Love these "negative" videos 😂 I love Flowerbomb, it's way better than la vie est belle. And I have no problem people not liking it but it's annoying when it's compared to la vie est belle all the time 😅 I like very good girl, but I understand why it's not liked by all cause it's a bit "sour"..

I feel EXACTLY the same about Angels Share. I tried it at the airport and found it to be too much but I would also maybe give it another try

I wanted to like Valaya because it's been hyped as The Scent for clean and fresh vibes, but I found it too sharp and harsh, and it had a musky drydown that I really wasn't a fan of. I still got the arabian dupe for it though since I still wanted to see if I can still get the clean spring/summery vibes everyone's been talking about...but for half the price! 😅

i totally agree with the philosophy cream perfume, if it was $20 i might’ve been ok with it but the longevity is just terrible for the price

Hi girl from my collection fragrance I don't wear is devotion flowerbomb dew idylle by guerlain. I also can't stand Narissio Rodriguez for her .

I didn’t like devotion at first sniff. I tried it a few days and the dry down is where it’s at for me. Also it seemed super strong but it’s not. I get wiffs of it throughout the day and I love it. And layering it with iced lemon pound cake. I want to try Lira now too cause I’ll probably like it. I also liked angel share but it’s not something that I’d get full bottle of. I like or love a lot of your recommendations but not all. I didn’t like Miami Glow 😅. I do use it for summer. But I won’t repurchase.

Please do your most hated Middle Eastern frags and most hated body mists!!!

Devotion has a screechy note I don't like initially. But the dry down is so good.

Mystique Bouquet by Afnan is a Valaya dupe, but it’s the much smoother version. Such a wonderful clean perfume ❤❤❤

Litchi is a note I also struggle with. Not a fan of tart fragrances at all. Also, if you didn't like Lira and you haven't tried it, I recommend trying Dama Bianca. I feel a gourmand lover would appreciate it. It's not my preferred profile, but the performance and quality is very good.

Love your posts! (I am almost 60 btw) What do you think about Amouage perfumes?

Finally someone who feels the same about Narcisso Rodrigez for her! It smells like a posh old lady like the late queen. I also do not like Angel share as it smells like an sweet apple and cinnamon cognac literally and I don’t want to smell like that

What haircolor are you using?

I'm glad you mentioned Devotion; I liked it at first but towards the end of my bottle it turned 'straight citrus' (no vanilla) and it turned me off to it. There are better vanilla purfumes out there.

It’s def crazy how different everyone is - Burberry Her EDT is one of my top perfumes ever and I actually got the big 3.3 oz on a cruise!

You can try khamrah. Bit it is nothing like Angels share.Maybe the same direction but that is it. My favorite is khamrah Qahwa

Earlier in some other video i also had recommended that you should buy Khamrah. I have 2 bottles already, me and mom are both obsessed over Khamrah. We never used to wear middle eastern or such kinda fragrances before buying Khamrah. But lemme tell you! Its fantastic! I love love your taste in perfumes so you should know that Khamrah smells like a christmas cake freshly baked out of oven! If you like cinnamon, vanilla, cloves raisins and the typical christmas cake smell.. go for it. And its a sweet perfume, the dates note and vanillic dry down is no joke. Its amazing for that price! But if you want a less sweetened and coffee added version try Khamrah Qahwa. I dont have Qahwa coz i love Khamrah even though its very sweet.. I'm told that I'd move on to Qahwa instead of OG if i purchased it as well.. so I'm staying with Khamrah itself.. I'd be really excited to know your reactions on both.. Also I must tell you, pls buy Ameer Al Oud intense.. some say it is masculine but omg it is perfectly unisex and its one amazing creation by Lataffa! I can't get over it.. It is supposedly duping By the fireplace but it's fantastic by itself.. It's super sexy, cozy, incredibly attractive layering scent as well.

I ididnt like very good girl either when i got it as a gift so i did some researh to see if others felt the same.. someone on youtube said to let it sit and the vanilla will get stonger, mine has sat for 18 months since I got it. So I shake it up before I spray and it smells great now the vanilla has balanced out the letchi and is way more sweet and very close to delina exclusive.

Every perfume you don’t like seems to smell “bitter and sharp” to you😂

All of a sudden I hate a lot of my perfumes… a lot of them remind me of bad memories. Or the smell just bothers me now. I guess I’m going to try to sell them on Poshmark? What do people do with all their fragrances they declutter?

Please try Qahwa as well, the other flanker of Kamrah

Agree with almost all of these - I really want to like fresh cream and I’m convinced I’ll force myself to. Shocked you don’t like warm cashmere. It’s perfect to me. Better than Bianco latte imo. I wish it was as beast mode and I’d be in heaven.

Flowerbomb was my signature scent ~20 years ago. I wanted to like Devotion and Valaya, but after multiple samples, I just don’t. I blind bought Lovely because it’s so inexpensive but I get cigarette smoke from it.

I have to agree with you on some of these and the N.Rodriguez Edt is even worst to me.😊

If Devotion weren’t nostalgic for me I’d probably think it was forgettable. I used to wear a cheapie Delicious Cotton Candy by Gayle Hayman BH and Devotion smells exactly the same, it is like a grown up version of a scent that’s tied to so many childhood memories. That’s the only reason I love it.

You should change momentum and do reviews on the dua brand as well as Arabian perfumes.

I hated Devotion when I first smelled it but I revisited it and it’s so good in the summer. I get sweet lemon and soft vanilla, total lemon poundcake

Lemon 🍋 is a hard one! I haven’t smelled devotion yet, but I hear a lot of people say cleaners when it comes to lemon, but I’ve never had that problem? I usually get zesty with lemon but I tend to prefer my lemon non gourmand! I like lemon and mint maybe some magnolia more fresh types of lemon scents

I used to make so many blind buy mistakes. I just stopped blind buying basicly, I might do it 2 to 3 times a year. Decluttered 15 celebrity fragrances. And since I'm pregnant I can't stand anything BR/cloud'ish 🤢😅

😂 it's actually funny how I I'm the exact opposite because I love Narciso Rodriguez for her edp but can't stand the fleur musc version. That means they did good making a flanker for a different market that's not a repeat.

I don't like the opening of devotion; I'll spend the money on Lira. I love Vayala, but I'm not surprised since I also love fleur narcotic, and a good dupe is Mystic Bouquet. I hate Narciso Rodriguez. The signature musc is so bad on my skin. 😮 So many coworkers and friends have bought that Burberry perfume after smelling it on me. I think Flowerbomb is an excellent intro fragrance for younger girls, but yes, at this point there are many other options. Fresh cream is not long lasting; always get it on sale and layers well.

What beginner niche perfumes do you recommend? I have very mainstream taste (Poison Girl, Black Opium, Born in Roma, Vanilla 28, etc). I have Bianco Latte and the Armaf dupe for Delina Exclusif, so besides those. I love Lira but it doesn't last.

Have you tried the new Cirque du Soleil perfume?

I completely agree with you on all of these except for VGG. I can't stand the entire Good Girl line except for VGG lol! Having said that even though it's the only one I don't hate, I still wouldn't buy it. I guess the Good Girl DNA just isn't my thing 🤭

What are your top 10 for life? I think everyone’s taste in perfume can be so different due to life experience, scent memories and a unique nose for picking up certain notes . I tend to love the musky scents with white musk as my favorite note. It really is so personal how scent affects each person.

I agree with almost all of them, except for Angels’ Share. Angels’ Share is one of the best scents of all time for me. So intoxicating! I have khamrah as well, and I love that one too. It’s only about 85% similar. No booze and heavy on the dates. Definitely dislike Very Good Girl! I couldn’t wait to wash it off. I like Fresh Cream the first time I smelled it in Ulta, but the last couple times it smelled like spoiled milk. 😬 Never understood the hype for LVEB, not a fan at all. Hubby dislikes that one too. I really wanted to like Devotion. I can only handle one spray. If I do more than one I will feel nauseous. There’s something in it that turns my stomach. Flowerbomb is not bad, but it’s just basic to me.

Yeah I don’t like Burberry her edt in cooler weather it works in heat. When it dried down and in the heat it got sweeter. I don’t love it to get a full bottle but I got it in a travel spray. I sprayed on at ulta after a hot day and when your skins super warm after a hot day. That is when to spray it.

I agree so much on flowerbomb

Try khamrah Qahwa. It's less sweet and coffee note is added. I like khamrah but its flanker is even better

I HATE Angels' Share. Hate, hate, hate. I don't even know why, because I adore the scent of cinnamon and apple pie, but as a perfume, it just annoys me the longer it stays on my skin. I really just never liked Angels' Share, and I've tried it over ten times now, but still dislike it. That being said, I LOVE Khamrah! It really is so much better. Yes they're similar fragrances, but they're not at all clones of one another, and I'd take Khamrah all day every day over Angels' Share. That's just my opinion and I know Angels' Share is loved by many. I just can't seem to get on board with it no matter how much I try to.

As a dupe of angel share I have kismet magic it’s an arab perfume. I don’t know if it’s an exact dupe because I’ve never smelled the OG. But people are saying it’s the closest dupe. I was scared that to be too masculine but to my nose it’s not I really like it
