    Khamrah isn’t an Angels Share dupe despite the close similarities in packaging. I think people saw that and smelled the similar spices and assumed but I’ll come back with what it’s inspired from.

    I'm with you on Goddess! Such a meh perfume, like a watered down, less lasting and less rich version of Vanilla 28... I wasn't impressed and didn't purchase it. Khamrah though... wow such a beautiful fragrance, it smells like the holidays on me :)

  • @leilani_808
    @leilani_808 Před 6 měsíci +4

    Good morning Jackie 😊 You’re the one who taught me that there’s a difference between oxidization and maceration. I‘ve always understood what macerating means but I learned that oxidization happens first. I’m so fascinated with all things fragrance.

    • @jaxbeautifulyou
      @jaxbeautifulyou  Před 6 měsíci +2

      Good morning 🌞 it’s all very fascinating and confusing lol 😆 maceration happens first and is done by the perfumer. It’s when they chemically bind the notes in a solvent (alcohol). This process is done before the perfume is bottled up and sold. (Usually) Oxidation is when you get the perfume and spray it a few times introducing it to oxygen. This begins the aging or maturation process. Some notes like vanilla and patchouli age really well and get stronger over time. It’s all really quite interesting! I didn’t know any of this until recently! Thanks so much for watching. ❤️

    I was on a Dua kick with one of their sales. I decluttered 6 fragrances after I let them sit for 6months and still didn’t like them. I have 3 left and won’t be purchasing more.

  • @penelopepalm
    @penelopepalm Před 6 měsíci +4

    Devotion! I don’t hate it but I was so disappointed. Fortunately I’m only stuck with a travel size.
    Early in 2023 I also tried a bunch of Tom ford travel sizes that I absolutely hated. Bitter peach, soleil blanc, and white suede.
    I realized this year that I don’t like magnolia and ylang ylang notes.
    But my worst blind buy this year was delina la rosee. I got such a great deal on it I bought a full bottle blind. Argh!

    • @jaxbeautifulyou

    Jackie, you're not gonna like this. My worst blind buy this year was Chocolate Queen. I got like 5 minutes of gourmand notes, then it turned into an overpowering amberwood. I can't do amber, not in those quantities. It was also a huge disappointment, because the chocolate was nowhere to be found. Decluttered it. Other notes I found out this year I couldn't do: prominent sandelwood and cardemom. Two other fails were Santal Austral and Vanille Insensée. So all in all it has been an educational year. I hope to take all this information into next year seeing as my goal is to buy much less than this year, and keep the blind buys to a minimum.

    • @jaxbeautifulyou
      @jaxbeautifulyou  Před 6 měsíci +1

      I totally get it! The amberwood is definitely prominent in chocolate queen and I know it’s is not for everyone. I definitely learned a lot about what I don’t like this year too. So fun!

    • @ThePhoenixx2012
      @ThePhoenixx2012 Před 6 měsíci +2

      If you bought Chocolate Queen for the expectation of gourmand chocolate and didn’t get it, I’d recommend finding a decant of Dolce Passione by Pantheon Roma. Although it’s close enough that they smell like half siblings, the elements that are different make it so much better to me. Check out the notes and maybe give it a try sometime. The dry down and longevity is wonderful.

    Great video Jackie! I've been binge watching while I work, clean house, etc. Anyway, my worst, worst blind buy of the year, and possibly of all time, was the perfume from the hair brand, Ceremonia. Perfume de la Tierra. I bought it after hearing another CZcamsr talk about it. I tried to wear it and I would layer it with Golden Nectar from Nest or Tangerine Boy, but I just hated it. Thankfully, it wasn't very expensive. I've heard of a few who like it, I would just say, try not to blind buy it.

    I blind bought Kayali Vanilla 28 thinking it would be great for layering. Nope! I know everyone raves about it but there was a distinct patchouli note that I couldn’t stand. I’ll stick with my Vanilla Woods for layering! I agree, Goddess is nice but left me underwhelmed.

Two of my worst blind buys are Dua’s Dark Chocolate, Rum, & Vanilla (Gourmand Coquin), and Jousset Accident a la Vanille. They both smelled a little weird on me.

    I felt the same way about Khamrah when I first got it I thought it was OK but when I would wear it, there was something offputting I did not like. I figured i’d eventually sell it, so I put it in the back of my closet and a few months later went back to it and could not believe how much it improved. It’s one of my favorites. It got way sweeter and that woodyness got way Milder just better.

    My top three worst parfumes for 2023 are: Amorous by Navitus nothing but a super tangy "Apple jolly rancher" scent, Xerjoff Erba Pura Gold which on me was a bowl of super rippen fruits and wood notes (Yuck) and last but not least Yum Pistachio Gelato so overpowering that I had to immediately scrub my arms. These three scents provoked a nausating body reaction or headache on me. Your are right on, Jackie - Try before you buy is best!

  • @AmiAbroad
    @AmiAbroad Před 6 měsíci +3

    Oh, Jax, I was with you until Khamrah. Love it, although it has very little to do with Angel's Share. I read somewhere it was supposed to be a dupe of the Dates Delight from The House of Oud. Never smelled that. I only ordered one Dua fragrance which was a dupe for Kilian's Princess. It was really good! I also own an old bottle (5 years) of Olympia Intense. Perhaps they changed the formulation? It isn't sharp at all.

    • @jaxbeautifulyou
      @jaxbeautifulyou  Před 6 měsíci +1

      I own and love dates delight. One of my favorites. I think most people really enjoy Khamrah. I’m in the minority. It doesn’t work on my skin.

    • @IrieAllDay88
      @IrieAllDay88 Před 6 měsíci

      I do see a similarity with DD! But Khamrah would be a cheap version of that. I don't think these Arabian houses can make dupes of boozy perfumes on account of their religion.

    Blasphemy on the Khamrah!!! J/k😅 It's not an Angels Share dupe. It stands on it's own and I have to admit initially when I bought it, I wondered what in the world the hype was about. I found it screechy and harsh. Then I let it sit for a few weeks and revisited it. It was magic in a bottle. It is easily in my top 5 faves now. I enjoyed your vids so much this year. Looking forward to 2024.❤

    I love the original Olympèa and the Intense is possibly my favorite. My worst blind buy this year was either Olympèa Legend or the Narciso Rodriguez white cube that’s been discontinued. I’ve heard so many people rant & rave about how it’s the best out of the cube fragrances and it’s a hard pass for me. I’m letting sit, hopefully macerate and oxidize, anything that might help before I declutter. I’ve heard about this beautiful gardenia note that’s so pleasant! I don’t get it and I ordered it from Dillard’s dept store. It was bad! Love hearing these risky blind buys!😊

    • @sarahlentz7400
      @sarahlentz7400 Před 6 měsíci

      I've almost bought Khamrah several times but held back. I think it's because of the cinnamon, which some reviewers said was very strong. And while I do like cinnamon in some things, I don't like for it to be the loudest voice in the room. I'm doing the same thing, now, with Nebras, which sounds really good (and comes in a gorgeous bottle), but I'm still holding back. This is the second video I've seen in the space of a week from a reviewer saying she was underwhelmed by Lattafa. And now, this comment makes you the third. So, thank you for sharing your thoughts.

      I have not smelled Leisure in Paradise, but am tempted to get a sample based on your recommendation. I don’t hate Pas Ce Soir, but it gets annoying on me. It has something that is too much and cuts through the other notes to my nose and can make me almost queasy by the end of the day. I have several notes that do that(mostly florals). But I love Rouge Smoking from BDK and will probably get a couple Simone Andreoli samples to try the house. I love hearing why people declutter because it may save me time and money if we don’t like something else for the same reason. Or it may persuade me the opposite if I know that it isn’t an issue I struggle with and it is the only negative I hear.

    Ajwad by Lattafa. I should have paid closer attention to some of the reviews I watched---and then watched some others. I can describe this fragrance only in words like "confusing" and "loud"---like actually shouting at me non-stop until I scrub it off (and it takes some scrubbing). I can't make out specific notes because they're all just chaotically vying for attention. At least, that's all I can pick up, and I'll admit my nose for fragrances is still fairly new. It probably does need to macerate for a while (like a year-plus, maybe), but I'm not optimistic that this will ever be a love--or even a like. I'll probably end up decluttering it.

    Not really blind buying anything of any real value anymore - testing with decants and samples is the best for me. Two I did not like this year: Ivory Route (herbal savory vanilla) and Broceliande (animalic…a squirrel 🐿️doused in citrus 🍋juice 🤣). I know these are loved in the community but…🤷🏼‍♀️ I don’t get the hype over Goddess either, it’s OK?

    I made one blind buy this year and it was bianco latte by giardini di toscana. I bought it because of the hype and I love gourmant scents. But for me it doesn't smell like cookies. It smells like play doh and an ikea candle in a very bad way. Together with the sharp green note it makes me wanna through up. And then it is so strong that it took really long to get that smell away 🤢
