I just figured out that there is something wrong when i noticed that urgent kind of feeling of getting more and it has never been enough. Thank you for this video.
What? 😳 In Germany the L'Artisans where never under 100 Euro! In no size 😢
@@OphelieFontaine treasure trove back in the day 😅 you can find them.less than 100$ second hand still but it is rare
I think, the L'Artisans lasts VERY long on skin and texture. They are just no foghorns. What is great in my opinion 😊
@@OphelieFontaine 100% agree!
I also have the old packaging of MECHANT LOUP 💚
Пера Венетты была идеальной освежающей грушей на весну. взяла по вашей наводке и жалею, что только в отливанте.их флаконы божественны, но инфляция и снятость сделали свое черное дело, теперь проще купить домик в Дубае(( мне зашел подчерк Пьера Гийома.иногда не хочется тяжести и вывертов... в любом направлении я ожидаю, что он сделает чтото понятное. согласитесь, в этом есть своя прелесть. (но кому-то может показаться слишком дорого для этих композиций, тут да) Жду новых роликов на русскоязычном канале
if u parfum addicted chances are high u just addicted to buying stuff... if u really parfum addicted try making them urself LOL
Wow, this is so true. You are spot on about four days ago. I ordered three bottles and then I kept looking at my wish list and wondered if I forgot one and for some reason I felt like I didn’t get enough so I ordered nine more bottles my wife actually thought I went nuts, I feel like you can never have enough or you never have that perfect scent that you’re looking for . I was disappointed I believe that’s why I went and bought nine more. I feel like I will never find the perfect fragrance so I will buy and buy more. I bought so much listening to these influencers I bought 90% on blind buys. I’m never fully happy though. This is actually scary. So yesterday I deleted all my subscriptions to see if I’m addictive. Well here I am on utube this morning just looking because now it’s my morning routine. We have to remember these influencers are here to make money, get free perfumes, or other perks. It’s all scripted. Believe me they don’t know or smell these notes like they perceive. Fake knowledge they are no better than us guys. They just have these Utube accounts . I bought over 30 bottles since June. Honestly that’s scary shit.
Interesting thank you. I look forward to next video. This is the much more interesting side of fragrances 🍻
DAIM BLONDE is really one of the sexiest scents EVER ❤
VITRIOL D'ŒILLET is very special, but I love it, too ❤
I am overwhelmed: MECHANT LOUP & NOIR EXQUIS are my favourite bed scents besides DZING! from the same house! We are scent twins 😊❤
@@OphelieFontaine omg!!
Eli Saab ROSE is stunning! Love your taste ❤
@@OphelieFontaine wohooo 😘😘
FURIOSA ❤❤❤❤❤ Adore it: very unique but also very pleasing!
@@OphelieFontaine yes! It is quite festive 😗
What do you think of Chanel Sycomore? Would you still think prada vetiver is better for a female?
@dmac6704 boutique chanel is certainly a good introduction into less conventional perfumes . That said I never found them to be original in composition and somewhat.. diluted somehow. But you can test them in person - they are intelligently designed and Chanel brand has a lot of value to some people by itself. What is suitable is only for you to decide, truly - what smells interesting to you isby definition suitable for you 😘😘
@@MariaMeliora thank you I got a sample of Sycomore edp batch code 2022 and I do absolutely love it especially the dry down 😍
Oh Wow! I was so excited to buy Yes I Do for my daughter for a wedding fragrance…now I know the back story….Oh yuck. I thought it was a romantic wedding day fragrance. Bummed.
@debbietaylor9241 it is kind of both - they tried to be hooligans in their interpretation of the "happy ending" story , vulgarizing what (some) women are willing to do behind the scenes upon being pressured vs appear as innocent trying to maintain social status, play of words as well.. by its olfactory construction it is a light beautiful lily of the valley fragrance - appropriate for weddings. It is sad how disgusting the vision for it was, how blatant in its disrespect to women the narrative and self-righteous the insult disguised as a cheeky joke. Again, you chose well in terms of the scent, I just personally can't get over the meaning behind it .
did you try by now the Cartier one? I have a sample and I do not like it, it gives me a headache and it smells very synthetic. So you did not miss out on it. happy to send you my decant.
@VirginieNL haven't found a sample yet! If you are open to sharing yes please!!
Fabulous „essay“ on the topic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you 😻
I NEED HELP!!😮 Im at well over 50 fragrances and must STOP! Its sort of embarrassing tbh.
I believe it does have leather in the notes.
Absolutely love Parfums Dusita 😎❤️
@@Jay-vt2so what are your faves??
Omh what a nostalgia .. Collecting perfumes is a very expensive hobby ...glad i sold my entire collection it was over 300 perfumes mostly niche wnd discontinued ones...so glad that insanity left me ...
@NeveCro when was that? What happened afterward?
@@MariaMeliora I collected perfumes for about 2+3 years and I sold everything when the pandemic hit...afterward I switched to designer clothes ...cuz I realised better have something that will last over time instead of empty bottle ... But the crucial point for me was when my vintage Pucci perfume went bad...and then I bought every existing addict from Dior I literally spent a fortune on having like every one of and also backups ...I went insane and its not even my fave or my signature ...I deleted my frGrantica accounts and every perfume account I was following and since then I literally bought and still now buy the first cheapest perfume I find...and often times they are copies ...which I never thought I would ever do... I do plan on buying piguet calypso tho I really miss it
@@MariaMeliora to add...completely irrelevant but once in a while I watch, like now, videos or search for some perfume and to find so much has changed only makes me feel even better I let it go ... My favourite perfumes literally 95% of them went discontinued...and I have like top 10 really favourites...the prices let me not even begin ...like the prices went up at least 40-50% ....not to even mention niche category ...lmao
Thank you for this inspiring content, subbed 👌
🙄
Iris de Fath is sooooo beautiful!
Hi I’m a perfume addict too nice to meet you at least you started out buying affordable I went straight for the niche and high end 10k in ten months and going strong 🤦🏼♀️
I adore Irina, In the summer She is the best ❤- white flowers near swamp 😊 And Selima and Zahira love ❤ from La Gemme Collection
This hurt living in Scotland
hehe why?
@@MariaMeliora because I don’t want to know Summer is gonna end 😭
Very well said!!
I feel attacked just by the title. The first three minutes also.. muahahahaha
❤ Love Last Drops ❤
u look like a strawberry😂
I love Iris, I love books, I am German. So maybe i am just that type of person..... 😅
I have tried to declutter my collection per your advice, listed some stuff, and now I feel "narcotic withdrawals" and severe regrets:( even if I don't really love those perfumes they became like children to me. I haven't bought a new perfume in 2 days 😅 I was wondering what was your absolute Holy Grail perfume that's must have ? Because I was thinking to buy just one really good one and maybe then I won't have that desire to buy anymore
Thanks for sharing❤
Love this update! And YES to the numbers!!! I agree on the FM Bigarade Concentree, so fresh and juicy! I have all my "summer" frags out of their boxes in my closet. Am rotating about 5 at a time every few weeks not for any other reason than it helps me make a choice faster 😂. Right now my fave picks are Lanvin Eclat d'Arpege, Gucci Gorgeous Jasmine, Byredo Pulp, Bobbi Brown Beach, D&G Shine and Chloé Love Story.
Love the vibe of your videos and all the interesting thoughts you share. Very special ❤
Thank you so much!
Your house must smell AMAZING then Maria. 😄 Interesting about using masculine targeted scents as bases. They do rely more on woody accords don't they. At the same time the JV fragrances were always notorious for their poor longevity. Or should I say poor projection because they tended to 're-activate' with moisture. You nailed the MdO style though. And with the tighter regulations concerning the use of galaxolide. But we'll keep some people searching for perfume Waldo though shall we? 😂 Keeps the creative juices flowing. Appreciate your insights as always. 💗🖤
Keep that alphabetic system in an easily accessible spreadsheet perhaps?
Always happens when a house is bought by a big conglomerate, Estee Lauder is not doing it any good.
I love this guy! I don't know why he has a few subscribers in his channel. He is very informative.
This fragrance is Edt or Edp?
Absolutely! Who doesn’t remember diving their noses into a lilac bush growing up? The most gloriously joy inducing scent around!
Yesssss: you own VACANCES by Jean Patou ❤ I think this is totally LILAC 😊 (Sorry, that was my recommendation 😅)
Speaking of incense- palo santo and sage...Have you tried Initio Paragon ? Do you like it?
@TODOMATIO not yet ! Curious though! If you can spare a decant that would be amazing 😘
I'm an addict 😢. And im trying to break free. It doesn't help that I have ADHD
I bought perfume for the first time in a decade this last November and it unleashed a new passion or hobby for me and I definitely do not buy one at a time hahaha. These companies must have insane markups because fragrance ultimately is just a bit of essential oil suspended in alcohol. In most instances I would wager that the bottles cost more than the fragrance. I am all about brands that sell amazing fragrance in bad packaging, I think Granada is my favorite in that category. They are a nice brand trying to enter the lux market but they have crooked sticky labels on all of their bottles.
Try saying that in a doTerra-sales meeting. 😂 I love lavender, but it’s yeah. It failed the tests.
@@beer_bad doTerra? Tell me more
@@MariaMeliora doTERRA sells essential oils, and promotes pseudo science. And lavender oils is soooo potent.
Heyy!! Have you tried any of the Christian Louboutin Loubiworld collection? I just ordered some samples in the mail and wondering what your take on some of them would be
@Fake_blnd not sure what collection I had samples from, I think tge very first releases. I thought of them as crowd pleasing and forgettable 🫠
Gorgeous scents in this selection of yours! So glad you picked Cartier's La Panthere as a Chypre choice. I am a sucker for Mitsouko for a long long time (own the extrait version). I fully agree to your description of La Panthere as a contemporary fruity Chypre. And yes, the Parfum version is the best, also to my nose. And Sancti.... oh my god....such a delicious, beautiful and uplifting incense! Smells like a Catholic forest chapel on a spring morning.
Love that brand! I like their concept and their packaging. Prices are ok. Thing is, in Germany, you can buy those online for a much lower price than from their website. Especially when it comes to scents from their upper price range, like Fidelis or 1904. I own Ambre 114, Fidelis, 1904 Madame Butterfly and This is not a blue bottle 1.4. I am very keen to try Mata Hari as I have a soft spot for Chypres. If you like 1904 as a reference for Iris scents, have you ever tried SL Iris Silver Mist?
