@heavenjb Год назад

I agree with all….but 😅 Chanel…number 5 is a classic ( I think it’s ageist to describe as you do ) Leau is actually really great, both actually for summer ( and as a forty something who tends to date men ten yrs younger ) all the men I’ve dated LOVED that scent it’s also a nice bedtime relaxing summer scent. Now..coco mademoiselle horrible horrible compared to its mum Coco. Coco amazing, mademoiselle made it BASIC. I think some classics are classics for s reason usually a unique scent profile. There are old scents that should go…but not due to aging lol or their scent doesn’t transcend time…I think the aldehydes in Chanel are what make them unique and otherworldly …it gives s effervescent type vibe to the Chanel 5 hence the originality snd how it should always be around..it’s also a fashion thing….there’s nothing repulsive about Chanel 5 where as daisy hell yes

Dear Soki, don't ever feel bad for pointing your negative views on perfumes! After all, at the end of the day, they're just that... perfumes! 😉 The Internet is full of either stans or haters, so it's nice to watch people having proper negative reviews with honesty and balance. And yes: generic formulations, ridiculous pricing and cash grabbing flankers are always frustrating! I think these major brand houses can handle a less positive critic and the audience appreciates the sincerity, so don't be shy 😇

@melodyjones9681 3 года назад

What you’re saying is important. Many buy these scents on hype alone and get burned. Especially now, who can afford that? I get decants or samples when I can to see if anything is bottle worthy. I’ve gotten hyped frags I hated and felt duped.

@jessicabrewster6427 3 года назад

I really appreciate that the reason why you don’t like pretty much all of these perfumes have to do with the price more than the scent. Everyone likes what they like and everyone likes different things, but your approach was more about brands overpricing their cheaper made or not good quality perfumes. So thank you for your insight!

@memememeowww 3 года назад

I think the problem with the Daisy perfumes is the longevity. They literally last like 3-4 hours only and people can’t even smell it (not even yourself). I think people buy the Daisy perfumes because a lot of young influencers have them

@Annyss264 3 года назад

I used to buy cheap, unknown brand perfume from the accessories store back in high school back in 2006-7. And when I get a whiff of Light Blue Intense, it smells exactly the same like dead on very similar like the one I used to use when I was in high school. Light blue is easily dupe-able but it does last on my skin for more than 8 hours.

Ooooh...I like this very assertive Soki. Agree with you on all of these. I like and own some Tom Ford fragrances, but it is all about "edgy" marketing. Some of his fragrances are hideous and definitely overpriced. And have never understood the Jo Malone type. They are so weak and mediocre. I also think Le Labo has had it's day. As soon as the niche brands sell to conglomerates, it all just changes.

I do get why you're reluctant to criticize, (I'm the same way), but I found this vid VERY informative and helpful. Especially as I've been very curious about why Tom Ford prices were so high, wayyy out of my price range. Now I know I'm not missing out on anything special. Also, I got a sample of Daisy and was surprisingly unimpressed. Now I know it's not just me. Also, your mention of candles reminded me I've long been curious about your candles. I'd like to use more candles but find that most of them seriously annoy me. I'd Iike if you did a review on perfumed candles. I'd like to know how you choose your faves, and especially those which are a good value. Thanks for another great review.💕

I like the Light Blue BECAUSE it has poor performance. I'm quite sensitive about smell but I still love to enjoy perfumes so I'm always on the look-out for 'bad performing' perfumes. Not everything has to be super strong and have great projection imo. A lot of people I know experience perfumes as too overwhelming anyways so I reckon there's a big market for things that are a bit more subtle.

@mxhyungwonie8098 3 года назад

BUT I Do get upset when thoes typo types OF PEOPLE call most of designer perfumes cheap and mehhh perfumes. Thoes types of girls and men seems to have no reponsibilities but only themselves. In a video, someone was telling me to better save and buy expensive perfume rather than these cheap perfumes. I have kids, husband with decent job, house where i have to pay rent and bills every month, no support from families or anything else. I want to smell nice, beautiful and feminine rather than smelling like sex, bomb and spicy, money, dubai, etc etc and God knows what else, heheh. I just love soki who isnt after niche and expensive perfumes. Her collection is what i love bec it looks more like a normal person. While others have 1000 included niche and then sudd3nly start video of declutters and throws in the bin. Seriousely. I want to throw a glass of water on thier face. Heheh.

Jo Malone is owned by Estee Lauder. 🙂 So, same deal as with Tom Ford - there are some nice scents, but you're just paying for the name.

@44ebura66ka 3 года назад

I think everyone has specific scent and fragrances do smell different on different people. For example i hated La vie est belle for years because i had a coworker that had specific odor and combined with strong fragrance can kill a bird 🐦 in the sky, a specially when she over sprayed....but then i received samples of Lancome frags. and tryed on my skin. Now i think La vie est belle is a masterpiece....

Hi! I recently was gifted J’adore eau de perfume, and while I love it and it’s very iconic and classic. I am wondering. They created a number of different flankers recently. Which one is the most modern in your view?

Thank you soki. You are so right as I learn more about notes in fragrances. I find that in many products,. They test the consumer, why not get as much out of them as they can. It’s a crazy world out there.

Agreed with your reviews......I also sold fragrances which I was my first retail sales position & I did enjoy it !!! The cost for fragrance is phenomenal & I would literally be shocked at the regulars who would spend so much money purchasing these on a regular basis. Just happened onto this video for the first time, liked & subscribed. Thanks!!! 💟💜💟💜💟

Hi can u pls make a video on how to find your taste in perfumes and your perfume palette, basically how do you know which perfume kinds u prefer? Thanks

@waywardstitch8604 3 года назад

It helped me to get one of those discovery sets that come with lots of tiny samples. Also go to perfume websites to read the "notes" as you sample them. After a while you'll you'll begin to notice which notes tick all your boxes. But it can be a slippery slope. I just bought my 3rd discovery set, and am trying my very best to talk myself out of purchasing yet more fullsize bottles. I always thought I was quite fussy and hard to please, and am now shocked to find I love so many.

@izabelamaria1400 3 года назад

I own and love Chance eu Tendre EDP. It is sweet, citrusy, romantic, fresh fragrance. The bottle is lovely but it doesn't last long on the skin. It cost 93 euro but I wouldn't give even 50 for that. Seriously overpriced. Only the original Chance has good starting power but it is more peppery and powdery, and definitely more mature.

@samanthasteell 3 года назад

Soki, I think many of your viewers will agree with me when I say; it's is so refreshing to hear raw honesty. It's not negative to have opinions. We need more people like you to openly admit to these things and spread the word, so that people who are blindly following trends and those who are new to getting in to perfumes are not spending extortionate amounts of money and being taken advantage of as a consumer!

@pinchanie 3 года назад

Very informative Soki! 😍 You definitely justified your reasons why you wont buy it. Nice one! I honestly cant buy Jo Malone and esp Tom Ford, i really thought at first that its not worth it... im planning to buy Chanel Chance though but the EDP one.. thanks so much as always!

@rinisix4243 3 года назад

I use Chanel 5 EDP since my late 20’s (I am a lady in my 30’s) and I have received lots of compliments ever since (from people of all ages’ ranges) when I wear it. I am never without a bottle. So it all depends on your chemistry. It’s a classic for a reason. Coco Mademoiselle, on the other hand, smells terribly on me, great on other people. So let’s don’t be dismissive! We need to explore more when it comes to perfumes. There’s not ‘old’s people’ perfumes, or a ‘right’ age to wear certain perfume, nor ‘right’ gender to wear certain perfume. I can pull off Chanel 5 very nicely and I was surprised I could.

@rinisix4243 3 года назад

@@TB-rx1ue maybe. And that’s alright to me and all the people that compliment it and like it. On me, coco mademoiselle ‘reeks’ but I respect and accept that on other people it does smell wonderfully.

@ruthgreen9855 2 года назад

It's a beautiful spicy perfume, like tabu and opium the vintage one

@heavenjb Год назад

Try the original coco! Mademoiselle ruined it this video pissed me off tbh lol k think the Chanel review was ageist and she’s not recognizing the fashion of it all as well and some scents are classics and I wouldn’t want them to go away! Wearing vintage can be fun love Chanel 5 and flankers

@pamelafernandezdelareguera4893 3 года назад

@chucksareforshmucks5520 3 года назад

I'm glad you said all of this! Tons of fragrance enthusiasts seem to like Chance Eau Tendre and I just cannot understand it. I think it's horribly overpriced too and I don't see how it's anything special. I remember leaving a review on Fragrantica about it and people got offended. None of these make any sense to me either, and I find them exceedingly bland. That being said, I try not to be rude because my signature is Angel and people are brutal about it...so I know how it feels to get your favorite attacked. But hey, love it or hate it, at least Angel is a good performer 😘 I'm all for people enjoying what they like, but some stuff is obviously marked up beyond what the quality deserves.

@SokiLondon 3 года назад

Thank you! Yes Angel isn’t for everyone but no denying it’s great at lasting and projecting

@lim4275 3 года назад

I love Angel too, and I don’t care what anybody says about it. I actually hated it for years, and then my husband bought me a gift set because a salesperson recommended it. He was all excited about it, so I felt like I had to at least try it. Much to my surprise I loved it. It is the most complex and interesting fragrance I’ve ever smelled! I can’t stop smelling myself when I wear it. A lot of times I just use the body cream (the thick one in the jar) and the hair mist & even that has a lot of staying power without being too strong. I also love the spray oil, but I just found out it’s been discontinued, which is a shame. I really love to put it on my legs in the summer, or put some on my hands and run it through my hair. Fortunately I have almost a full bottle. I also love that the sprays are refillable. I wish all brands would do that.

@joelfromqueens 3 года назад

Hey Soki! I absolutely agree with these fragrances, ESPECIALLY Jo Malone and Tom Ford 😂 fyi, Jo Malone is ridiculously popular internationally. I like to think the general audience just doesn’t know how overpriced they are.

@edytaobrebska2731 3 года назад

BRAVO. Somone said it eventually! Eg. I personally love Chanel Chance, Molecule 1, etc but refuse to pay the price and refuse when my partner wants to treat me to them. I chose a similar or even inspired fragrance for a fraction of the price. Best example: Molecule1 = IsoSuper which is very cheap ingredient, used in room/toilet sprays etc...

@ethalinia 3 года назад

I love this video! I agree that N°5 smells 'dated', but to me it's in the best possible way. It just transports me to a different era, if that makes sense? Tom Ford Black Orchid is my all-time favourite scent and that's a hill I'm willing to die on, but the "expensive" range is just too effin' expensive. Black Orchid is one third of the price and the quality is exactly the same.

@laurenmaurice4796 3 года назад

Totally agree with all of these! The Chanel Chance line was my favourite for so long until I started buying better quality and longer lasting perfume, now I feel foolish for dropping so much money on basically a body spray.
