People can be very judgmental over the most inconsequential things. I really like how honest you are about your buying and decluttering habits. Just your acknowledgment of that feels very real. You're also relatable, and I'm both impulsive and indecisive myself. Not only that, but I'm very fickle when it comes to fragrances - I'll immediately fall in love with something, love it for a week or so, then decide I'm not crazy about it, and have to declutter it immediately. We all have our quirks! I'm glad you addressed those critics, but don't let them get to you.
Girl, don’t be hard on yourself. Baccarat Rouge 540 is a must have for a perfume collector. I heard another Fragrance You Tuber say: “Everyone has it, but no one will rock it like you” I loved that! Nobody, rocks it like you or me :) Be blessed!!!!
Yes totally!!!! It’s not about the perfume it’s about how you wear it!!
My girl Cheraye!!
Skin is so beautiful
I love how fragrance takes a person down different paths and sometimes circles back and brings you "home". That's the fun of loving fragrance!
Totally!! I could not have said it better myself. 💗
you're right
100 percent true story!!!
That’s why I hardly ever declutter because I know there will be the day when I want to use it. 🌸
Yes, same here 👍🏻
Me too! I keep them in case there is an occasion i will wear them. I did decluttered perfumes because it felt disorganized and i wanna make place for new ones, and then smell the perfume on someone else and i felt in love all over again and regretted getting rid of it.
@@melodiechartier5173 haha same ! 🌸
Don’t worry about ppl judging you it’s your money and your mind and you’re allowed to do whatever you want 😉 my nose and mind changes too, some things I used to love have been pushed to the back burner by new fragrances 🤷🏻♀️ some fragrances I didn’t like before I now see the uniqueness in 😂 I enjoyed this video 👍🏼
People be acting like ilithia is using our bank cards to buy her perfumes! Jaja
@@nancysantamaria3552 😂 Exactly! Never understood why ppl are so bothered by how other ppl decide to spend their own hard earned money.
AMEN 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯💯💯 It’s her money & her life. Well said Queen 👏🏽👏🏽💯💯
Did you ever think about decanting a perfume before selling it when you feel like maybe you will come back to it and change your mind? I think a decant is a good idea, because you will have enough of the perfume for sniffing or testing whenever you feel like it and maybe you will be more confident with buying a new bottle if you feel so.
Love this idea!
I love your videos! I can totally relate to you on terms of decluttering and bringing back old declutters , I think it's completely normal to change your mind about perfumes , we are human ♥️ I find your videos totally relatable , I don't have any friends who are into perfumes as I am, and so watching you feels like watching a freind go through the same perfume struggles as me. lovely video keep being yourself 🥰🥰
No worries! I do the exact same thing with wigs (I have a wig review channel and have been wearing wigs for four years due to androgenic alopecia that began in my 20's-I'm now 65). We spend $$ learning what we like, what works best for us and even when we find that, we may branch out to try new things and eventually go back to square one. Such is life! I only began with fragrance this year, a natural extension to wearing makeup again for my channel, I feel (though it would be nice to have smell-o-vision!) and have purchased more than I think I should, but I want more, still finding my footing with scent. Being very thrifty-I have a frugal living/homesteading channel that has been around for almost 10 years now- I don't own any high end or nice fragrances other than samples. I have mostly affordable ones and dupes. I have a Poison Girl dupe from La Rive and love it. Appreciate your channel! ~Cynthia
Perfect timing 🤗 just made a cup of coffee ☕ you are entitled to change your mind, and, do not owe anyone an explanation. Also, our scents change. I too can be very impulsive and indecisive 🥴 the struggle is real. Just stay true to you❣️ there aren't any rules except wear what YOU love and rock it like the beautiful and confident woman you are 🥰 Also wanted to let you know B&BW has a new candle that I thought you may like; vanilla & santal. It's light, warm, comforting, a bit earthy with the santal.
That sounds amazing! My favorite candle was bath and body works vanilla sandalwood which I think might have been sadly discontinued :(. Thank you for your supportive words that means a lot to me!
@@thesimplechiclife it is seasonal, so will not stay. They also have a bergamot & birch which may be too masculine for you, but, it's very pretty. And you may like fresh bamboo or tea rose (white tea, rose petals, dewy greens) I would wait until they are on sale for 12.95 and combine it with a 20% off coupon. Thank you for all of your amazing content 💝💖 I have rediscovered my love of perfume because of you ☺️
Ilythia I found the shop Diptqyue at Larkspur Landing in Marin County Ca. The beautiful manager asked me how I heard and found her shop. I told her the story which all started because of you! She asked me how you described the fragrance so I showed her that part of your video. She was praising you for how well and beautifully you described the fragrance💗
I enjoy watching your channel so much Iythia !! It lifts my spirits and you should never apologize for changing your mind ! This is your fragrance / life journey and no one else’s 🇨🇦💕
I've heard so many minimalists say it was far better for them to not hoard things "just in case", even if they had to replace the odd item here and there. I've switched that mindset and its so true. It confirms what you brought into your home was really worth it.
I love how real you are! Also I truly trust your judgement about perfumes as we share quite a similar taste, so anything you have to say on the matter is appreciated and all of your experiences are very welcome- I’m happy you shared this!💕
I love the consistent video upload. I hope you'll be able to keep it up 'cos your videos are so relaxing and a way my fiance and I bond. He gets to knows what I may possibly like through you! Thank you for your hard work!
I luv your channel for the journey…. Its real…. Much appreciated💕💕💕
I remember when you decluttered BR 540, I shrieked I was like oh noooo. Then I said she will bring it back. Im glad you brought it back into your collection.
I almost decluttered Poison girl but packed it away. Just recently got it out from the closet and I am in love again. I get why you bought it back. Donna is beautiful! Good you have it another chance.
Every time you upload, my heart skips a beat and I just can’t wait to watch on my break or before bed. No judgment from me. It’s your journey of pleasure and pleasure is an impetuous and irrational master. I’m so happy for you that you’ve got these fragrances back to enjoy again. Life is long but also fleeting, have fun and thank you for this lovely video. 🙏🏽❤️
Awe thank you so much 💕
@@thesimplechiclife 🥰
So funny that this video came up for me today! Last night I had trouble sleeping and I spritzed myself with a perfume that I thought I HATED (don’t ask me why), and was thinking I was even going to return it. Well, I had an absolutely positive reaction to the scent this time instead. And I’m not talking years here where your tastes can change over time… it was only a couple weeks that had gone by! I was so shocked that my feelings in it had changed that quickly.
So don’t feel bad about changing your mind. I think it can probably happen to all of us. I just never realized before now that it could happen so quickly!
I appreciate your honesty. I have bought so many things that didn’t work. I have lost a lot of money on clothes in addition to perfumes. I also really battle clutter. I am trying to be more like you and let stuff go instead of keeping it just in case. I think repurchasing a few bottles is much better than keeping everything. I also appreciate your positivity and avoidance of ageism and unnecessary negative criticism. You do a great job of critiquing and giving you opinion without being negative.
Sometimes when I declutter a perfume, I decant myself a 10ml spray vial. That way if I have regrets I’m able to revisit it and wear it for a while before deciding to repurchase.
I'm definitely not here to judge - to me your impulsivity is very relatable! I've done exactly the same thing - buying, decluttering, then buying again when hearing someone praising it, then decluttering it again, overanalyzing my collection, developing all kinds of rules of how my collection should look like, etc :D been there, done that! Now I'm really trying to let go of the idea of a "perfect" perfume collection as I feel no such thing even exists, pursuing it just causes this buy-declutter -cycle IMO.
I love that coffee cup!😊
Good morning! Enjoy your coffee and new perfumes!
LOL I screamed when I saw BR540 re-appear! Glad you brought it back. I love your perfume journey.
Love your video's...........and your coffee cup is beautiful!
Gurllllll! We love you. No need to apologize. You do you and don't worry about those that hate on you. There's way more ppl here that support you and admire you. I know, I do.
Good evening Ilythia, someone once said - what good is a mind if you can’t change it! It’s your prerogative and your collection to change as you see fit. Enjoy your purchases 💗
Eau Duelle EDT truly is a masterpiece. It will always have a place in my heart ❤️
I love Duelle as well and actually just decluttered it. It just only lasted maybe 30 minutes on me.
I think that’s the thing with BR 540. If you’ve never wear the original, you’ll most likely be very satisfied with the dupes/inspired one. But once you’ve smell and wear the original, nothing else comes even close. The original just have the perfect ingredients and perfect ratio of each ingredients that makes it 👌🏻
Not me. I actually prefer the dupe. As much as br 540 is a masterpiece, it's too strong and headache inducing
You’re so silly and I love you so much! It makes us feel human. Hahah and when it came to MFK it just felt like either someone going back to their ex they said they didn’t want to go back to, or a child justifying every reason to have it back. AND THATS OK!!! I love seeing the journey. Plus seeing BIG BOTTLES 🥰
It does make a lot of sense now that you frequently resell. It’s really awesome you also get assistance from fragbuy and other sponsors to help you with reducing the amount of money you’d have to spend on all these perfumes for you to try as well.
I do love hearing about perfumes you bring back as well bc it just gives a new fresh perspective of them after a while or being sick or them or stuff like that. Always makes me check out the sites to see if I really need them in my collection too!
Lol Ilythia it’s YOUR collection! Keep/bring back what you like!!! 💖
Valentina Donna is gorgeous, I’ve already bought backup bottle, absolutely my fav in my collection!
Your videos are perfect after a work day! I wonder how eau duelle would be like in a hot humid weather? It's always hot where I live.
I am so glad about you bringing Valentino Donna back. And I can totally relate to your situation. I had sold it after I got it and immediately regretted it. So I brought it back in my collection. Although on me is the opposite. It's a beautiful, feminin, classy and bold scent. Strangely, I cannot spray it to much on me. I did it once and wish I had sprayed less. I guess it was to hot that day. But I will keep it because I love it so much. I am trying to find the O.G. of Poison Girl but I only find the EDT and the Unexpected. Where did you buy yours? It's a very nice and sexy scent. Thanks for sharing your video with us!
💗 your videos!!
You don't even have to explain..we don't have the right to judge you or your perfumes or what you do with them 😅 love your honesty 😙
Your nail color is gorgeous! What’s the polish you’re wearing?
I bought Baccarat Rouge blind because CZcams hyped it up so much. And who knew ? I LOVE it !!! The fir resin note is just wonderful !!! I do not blame you for repurchasing at all !!!
I completely understand you about changing your mind and making new decisions about your perfumes. It's totally normal and human, yes! :)
omg I finally found this coffee cup in marshalls but it came in my fave color like a nudey peach! I love it so much!
You brought back most of my OG favorites 👏🏻
Eau Duelle, mimosa & cardamom and gypsy water 💕
I recommend the Gypsy Water body cream too, I think you will love it.
Yay!:) 💗
I tried gypsy water a few years ago when I was a lot younger and disliked it so I gave it to my mum, ironically she got another small bottle of it and gave it to me to try a weeks ago and I absolutely loved it that I bought the full size a week later, I do wish the performance was better especially for the price, I also love flower head from byredo but only have had the hair perfume of it, not the perfume but I’d like to pick that one up at some point, Donna is also one of my favourites and I actually way prefer it to born in Roma, it’s your collection and you should be allowed to swap things in and out as you please, so don’t let anyone say otherwise :)
You have such a pleasant crisp voice
P.S.Enjoying your videos!
Happened to me too. I didn’t regret rehoming them but because I love the scent so much I decided to repurchase them again. ☺️
Hmmm I wonder if you buy a perfume cabinet maybe you won’t feel the need to declutter so often you collection? 🤔 so you won’t be repeating this circle
Great review. No explanations needed. I love Byredos Sundazed and Mahave ghost. I've always love designer department store fragrances. I've just dipped my toe in luxury fragrances. I have such a love and appreciation for!! I will getting the full size Mohave Ghost for my birthday!! I do have my limits ie Tom Ford waaay to expensive.
I’m sampling Bal d’Afrique & Mojave Ghost from Byredo right now and the first just smells like soap/fresh laundry on me 😭 I don’t love Mojave Ghost upon first spray but after about ten minutes, it is so intoxicating! I need to try Gypsy Water! I live in WA state and I felt like I could close my eyes and smell exactly what you described. Heaven. Also now need to smell Eau Duelle! 💗
I have been spraying Clean Reserve's "Skin" on myself and my pillow every night! In the morning I can smell the praline on the pillow. Yum! Gypsy Water is a favorite of my husband and I.
My jaw dropped and then I started laughing when you gave away the last scent! Oh no! lol 😂 This was entertaining to watch, nice video idea
No matter how much people will judge you, do what you like and be happy, we are human we all make all kinds of mistakes! I love MFK 540 Extrait, also love Oud Silk Mood, they both are Sooooo beautiful and addictive!
We are all human and constantly evolving. We are allowed to change our minds. Fragrances are an experience and can evoke a lot of emotions, which are rarely static. I appreciate you sharing your journey with us however you choose to go about it. 💕
Thank you for sharing this video with your honesty . I love Clean Reserve but it’s not last long on my skin . I have both BC versions and they’ve the only perfume I can’t live without, they’re make me feel so special and nothing else can compare to it . Amber Rouge is 99% close to BCR .
One of my favorite things I’ve heard someone say before is - “I reserve the right to change my mind.” It’s so applicable to so many aspects of life! Humans change! ❤️
You are my twin!!! Impulsive and indecisive!!!! Love your videos so please don’t let the hurtful crap get to you. Easier said than done, I know. I’m trying to take my own advice. Hugs 🤗
We love your videos 💙🙏🏿
Love the Valentino bottle. Interested to try it.
I'm interested in trying the Eau Duelle now... 🙂
The Jo Malone Mimosa and Cardamon Body Cream! Lord, beautiful ❤️💕❤️💕
Scents I like and then grow to dislike change consistently with the seasons. Things I don’t like the smell of but once did, turn from hate to love and go right back again. Can’t do coconut and floral scents in winter, can’t do heavy gourmands and spices in summer, etc. So I can relate.
I'm also impulsive and indecisive so no judgment here. Beautiful perfumes all. ❤️
Diptyque:
I was never a vanilla scent kind of girl. But I came across Eau Duelle, and I fell head over heels in love. Always getting compliments. So I decided to chase that vanilla scent. I’ve tried many others from different brands expensive and cheap, and I can say that no other vanilla scent comes close to Eau Duelle. Actually this is how I came across your channel, looking for other vanilla recommendations. This is for sure my signature scent, going on my 3rd bottle. You have to try the intense version. Also, try 34 intense and Benjoin Boheme eau de parfum.
Byredo:
Gypsy water is a classic! Also my favorite. Try, bal dafrique, Blanche and 1995 if you haven’t already.
I started wearing these scents because I didn’t want to smell like anyone else. When people ask me what I’m wearing, they don’t even know the brands and I love it. I stopped wearing RB 540 bc now everyone has a similar version and I can smell that 10 miles away lol.
I will continue to stick with Byredo, diptyque and Jo Malone bc they truly make unique scents. I keep chasing other scents to find something similar but it just doesn’t work out. Oh well, this is part of the adventure. Happy shopping I say!!!
Eau Duelle along with Bois Doré are in their top of my current wishlist 😄
I love Baccarat no matter what😍 It's not a big deal Ilithia, don't worry. Enjoyed this video a lot.
Nice choices to bring back. Enjoy 😊
I love watching your videos and it’s always interesting to see what you decide to bring back or change your mind on! It’s realistic and I think most of us have that in us even if we’re not all honest about it ❤️
Poison girl is so yum!!
I try not to declutter unless the fragrance gives me a headache makes me feel sick etc. I usually throw them in a drawer and hold them there for months. Every single time I fall back in love with them lol
Very interesting. I just purchased br540 yesterday, Totally worth the money, I think the 75 ml is the smallest bottle,at least that’s the smallest at Bloomingdale’s. I’ve been enjoying your videos, at least replacing decluttered perfumes is cheaper than replacing decluttered handbags
I purchased the Baccarat Rouge 540 body oil. I put it on the ends of my hair (my hair is long) and on my arms. The scent lasts a long time, and it is less costly at the outset. (It will empty more quickly, of course.) The oil is in a spray, like the perfume.
If you like lipstick scents and want to try something stronger Frederic Malle, Lipstick Rose might appeal to you. It is available in Canada as a niche style fragrance.
Same here with not getting the opportunity to test some of the niche perfumes. I live on Vancouver Island and will be trying out Bacarat when go to LA in July💜🇨🇦
Wow nice group of fragrances!
Why does no one talk about Pure Poison? I have been wearing it since it first came out, and I have never heard it mentioned. It is my signature scent. I love it
The only perfumes I have decluttered have been celebrity brands and a few dupes. I'm not ballsy enough to get rid of a designer perfume and I don't own any niche but I'm almost 100% sure I wouldn't even think about decluttering something so expensive so kudos, Ilythia 😅😝 I really wish there was a local community for perfume trading :(
Good video! Have you considered ordering samples of fragrances you want to try before you purchase the full size bottle? A lot of people have mixed feelings about BR 540. It happens. I've heard some reviewers say they took a break from wearing it for a while then started back wearing it.
Yes but again it can be hard or really expensive to get a bunch of samples, depending. But yes I definitely do try to get samples when possible 😊
@@thesimplechiclife OK. Just wondered. But whatever works best for you! Enjoy your day! Take care!
I also feel like samples from the company or decants can be helpful, but I notice (especially for the more natural or refined smelling fragrances) that the strength isn't the same bc of the smaller spray volume. Full size bottle sprayers almost always give a better impression of the overall fragrance experience. Does that make sense?
@@marytaylor3118OK. It was just an idea. Like I said whatever works best for you go with that.
It's all a journey of self discovery and you don't have to justify yourself, we love you as you are ♥️ (now I'm swayed on Gypsy Water 🤣🤣).
Everyone has a right to change one's mind. My mind changes all the time about the perfumes in my collection. Sometimes I am surprised how I find some of my old ones and love them again, even though I abandoned them before.
'Don't be too hard on yourself' is often easier said than done. You have to be a special person working in healthcare. Thus, typically more empathetic. So it is important that you do self-care and be cautious about negativity. Personally, I thank you for taking time to do videos. Taking time to edit and create content is not easy. As for the fragrances, if you think you would like woodsy perfume, you should try a decant of Encre Noire. It smells like a wet woodsy forest with the dry leaves on the forest ground. It is very earthy, dark, and dry woods on its own. But if you layer a sugar sweet scent on top, it layers nicely. Keep up the good work, stay healthy and be safe. We love our nurses! 💐
I love Byredo’s Sundazed - BR540 smells just like Cloud but it looks so good on a perfume tray. I bought BR540 right from MFK - nice packaging
I noticed in an older video , about a year ago, that you once had Prada Candy. Did you declutter it and why?
I think viewers are critical of reviewers who change their minds when we feel like their opinions are being swayed by views or sponsorships. I don't get the sense that's what you're doing but rather just sharing your very human (and relatable) fragrance journey with us. I appreciate your authenticity!
It is your money and your collection so you do what you want. I am glad that you can sell your declutter fragrances at least to recoup some of your money. I suspect we have all bought things that we later regret.
I don’t care what anyone says, BR540 is my ultimate favorite perfume I have ever owned!! Love it and will always have it in my collection!!
I would suggest putting the bottle away for 6 months. If you miss it in that time, bring it back for a short period. Then put it away again for 3 months. If you miss it a second time, then you know you love the scent. Absence can make the heart grow fonder. Good luck.
I would really like to try Poison Girl edp i do own the edt and i love it. The Clean Skin one is such a classic simple fragrance,
i may one day buy a large bottle i have a travel spray.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, feelings, and being honest. I blind bought Cloud and thought I would love it. I didn't. The scent even stuck around the shirt I was wearing when I had it on after I washed it. It just didn't work on my skin so I really don't think I would revisit it.
Fragrances are so personal & I would rarely blind buy ever again. I absolutely have to test it on my skin because my skin is picky AF or be okay with the loss & not invest too much in blind buys.
Our tastes evolve & change. It's ok to change our minds. Also, I hope people would take away from this that maybe don't just go out & buy a fragrance based on a recommendation. See if you can sample it in store or find a decant website to test it on your skin before pulling the trigger. That way, you can find out for yourself if the scent works for you. Recommendations help me narrow down selections & give those a try first and it's very helpful to focus on those in the sea of perfumes out there.
Thank you for posting! I enjoy your content 😊
Don't let anyone criticize you for doing what you feel you need to do! I have decluttered fragrances and then repurchased them, too. It's OK. We're women. We're allowed to change our minds!!!!
Did you remove the video about Amber Rouge? I purchased it on your recommendation and am interested in hearing if you think it is a note by note dupe for 540. I have not smelled 540, but I quite like the amber rouge scent.
Oh, I LOVE these videos, as I relate SO MUCH 😅I think ALL fragrance addicts, knows how to “buy-regret-rebuy again and thats perfectly okay❤️
Baccarat rouge! I fellt like you, and I NEVER wore it, as I kept it for special occasions.. And something about the DNA I wasnt “sure of” but at the same time I LOVED it.. Confusing? Yes!!!
Well… I kept it, and after 2 years I forced my self to wear it everyday occasions, and now I LOVE IT… 😂
I NEW it was special, just had to start wearing it..
Good luck with your homecoming Baccarat 540❤️
Don’t feel bad about BR540! Lol. I have the extrait and feel the slight difference, so I bought the smaller travel sized bottle. And I feel like I get something from it that I don’t get from the extrait. And I was initially anosmic to it and at times still am. But when I do get a whiff-I’m like who is smelling that good??? Lol. Then realize it’s me! I love it honestly. And I layer it a lot. I will probably end up with a regular sized bottle at some point.
I also enjoy Eau Duelle Parfum and my fav byredo is Bal D’Afrique.
If you like powdery try Serge Lutens Clair De Musc. I thought I loved powdery but this is *intense* coty airspun powdery smell.
ETA: I'm wearing it now and I'm wishing it had a touch of rose or something to make it less cloying.
I'm surprised that Donna doesn't last on you, it wears into the next day for me and my skin eats perfume!
Byredo's Gypsy Water and Clean's Reserve Skin Blend are two of my favorites. two that you might also like: Diptyque's eau Rose and Penhaligon's Cousin Flora (wait a couple hours for the dry down for each). Both Diptyque and Penhaligon's have many great ones (not cheap though), especially directly on skin + time. The development is more important for me than the top notes.
I also wonder if you like Princess by Kilian
Love Gypsy Water, but it took me awhile to like it. My favorite is Mojave Ghost by far.
Changing one’s mind is a sign of intelligence, your gravitating towards BR540 is actually kind of adorable, BR540 and also Eau Duelle are great fragrances, enjoy!
Thank you!!!! 💕
I love Clean Reserve Skin and Valentino Donna. Both last long on my skin.
My only issue with BR is that it's so recognizable...I like a little mystery in my fragrance. But it does smell like you sleep on money, it's a nice fragrance. 👌
To me it's very normal to change your mind about perfumes. Happens to me a lot. I fall in and out of love all the time.
