Don’t apologize for giving your honest opinion. You’re allowed to have your own thoughts and opinions! If anyone gets offended over perfume, they have bigger problems lol 😂 great video!
Totally agree, it's fine we all don't like the same things. We also don't experience fragrance the same so it's ok lol. The fact she has to apologize shows how ridiculous the situation is.
Indeed, their problem is bigger than perfume
Thank you for speaking up regarding hyped fragrances! Everyone's nose and skin chemistry are different, but still...seeing certain fragrances constantly hyped as "forever fragrances" has an impact on consumer behavior, and buying samples and decants of niche fragrances can become costly too!. I recently read that a certain well known fragrance reviewer has familial ties to BDK, Initio, and PDM, and that made me question how certain fragrances can become randomly overhyped as well. All the more reason why balanced, realistic, diverse views and opinions are welcome!
I think I know who you're talking about. I've been hearing those rumors too. I will be forever grateful to her though for introducing me to one my new FAVORITE houses, which is Vilhelm Parfumarie. She recommended Poets of Berlin, Fleur Burlesque, and Mango Skin, and honestly, I can't possibly, humanly ADORE them more than I do. They're spectacular. She also put me on to BDK's Rouge Smoking, which I am also obsessed with. So she may be really biased and I do side-eye her recs now initially until I watch several OTHER reviewers' videos on the same frags she has recommended, but she's still giving good recs all the same.
Demi?
@@sindasadfi1866 Yes, that's the rumor -- I don't know if it's true. If it is, I don't know why she'd hide it because it seems like it would be wonderful news.
oooh boy, we actually need more videos like this. I wish people would stop being so sensitive and take everything so personal, then we would have more balanced opinions and less hype.
I actually dislike most best-sellers/hyped perfumes both designer and niche. Most of the time I have such high expectations because of the hype, but the fragrances just turn out nothing special to me. I have over 100 perfume testers and only 20 actual full bottles. That’s the reason I stopped blind-buying. Some perfumes even though nice, I actually never feel like wearing them. Some don’t work on my skin and some I simply don’t like.
Bouquet Ideale I hated the first time I tried it and now I love it. Italica is nothing special in my opinion, it doesn’t smell bad on me, it’s just ok. Lira, the same. Everyone’s skin chemistry and olfactory receptors are different. I wish people were not scared to leave “negative” reviews.
Bouquet Ideal is beautiful and Gris Charnel is my go to for regular day to day scents and one people ask me about however I agree on all the others. Nothing wrong with not liking these fragrances that’s why we all have different taste and smell 💕
I'm trying to avoid hyped fragrances more and more as my collection has reached over 150 fragrances now and I'm so much more selective about what I add to it.
I’m with you on that!
After being underwhelmed by so many fragrances, especially niche ones, I’m at a point where I am seriously taking hyped fragrances with a grain of salt as so few have wowed me.
Same here, and I’m sick of the dismal performances now that the IFRA has banned the ingredients that gave perfume its longevity and sillage
Paulina, you’ve just literally bashed my entire perfume collection 😆😆😆😁😁 Im still going to watch you though! 💖
when you see your second fave perfume of all time (Ani by Nishane) on this list 😭😭 haha it’s weird how it never got out of the spiciness for you, it becomes an absolutely divine vanilla. but hey, i don’t get vanilla from bois dore or oud satin mood whatsoever. crazy how much our noses and skin affects the smell…
You are a sweetheart. You didn’t bash her like other immature people. Good for you!
I love ani 😌😌 too but I do also love oud satin mood they’re some of my top loved fragrances ❤️❤️
Lol I’m one of those. I don’t get much vanilla in oud satin mood or any vanilla in Ani by Nishane, just spice all the way 😭 unfortunate for me
@@MariaLopez-rc5es aw ty 🥰 i find it so odd when people bash others for their opinions on stuff that doesn’t even affect them haha. if anything you should be happy because it’ll be less likely to sell out! 😂
@@kenialopez8029 i think i should probably give oud satin mood another shot, i feel like i’m missing out on something! i was feeling quite ill when i tried it so maybe i didn’t give it a fair chance? 🤔
1. Gris Charnel- wonderful for the first few minutes but the dry down is very masculine and incensey. Try Loubirouge instead.
2. Nishane Ani- nice masculine in the beginning but for me I get banana after about 20 minutes
3. Byredo- ok house but performance poor for the price
4. Le Lion- I actually love this fragrance, but on a man, not me. To me quite different than Coramandel but in the same family
5. Spirituese Double Vanille- you didn’t mention this one but the performance is so poor for a $400 bottle of perfume, that it would be ridiculous for me personally to buy this one although the juice is glorious. Maybe it is just me, but after 30 minutes there is barely any projection💐🤗💖
Agree with allyou say 😌
Agreed with you, I tried to like Gris Charnel but I just couldn’t. I mean, it’s beautiful scent but it’s waaay to masculine for my liking.
Banana?? How does banana smell?
Agree on SDV. I have a 200 mo bottle. I drink it! Have to spray so much ti create the cloud i desire!
I always value your honest opinion! Gris Charnel was not my favorite BDK Fragrance either, it's always disappointing to be excited about trying a Fragrance and its just not for you..whether it's body chemistry or just not your vibe. And it's okay when that happens ❤ the journey for the ones right for you continues
Hahaha this is my favorite video thus far! People need to remember that we subscribe for this type of content. I absolutely encourage the honesty Paulina, it’s fantastic. A lot of the fragrances you mentioned are ones I put on my wishlist bc of the hype and I thank you for the transparency, we have similar tastes besides the tobacco note. I love me some Smokey tobacco. LOVE!
Paulina, I love perfume, and I watch a lot of perfume reviewers, on a daily basis, and you are my favorite. I enjoyed this video, for your raw honesty, and it was done in a classy way. I have watched other reviewers do the same type of video but was turned off by their delivery. I thought something was wrong with me when I wasnt a fan of some of the fragrances you mentioned in this video. I agree with you on All these scents, except Portrait of a Lady and Ylang and Gold, only because Ihave never smelled them, but now I know to stay away, lol.
I did at one point like Italica and Ani, from the sample and ended up buying full bottles, only to realize I didn't really like them, now I'm stuck with the bottles. Thank you for making me feel normal for not really liking/loving all the other ones. Keep making your lovely perfume videos.
I agree with you on literally all of them!!! They are so hyped so I truly wanted to love those fragrances but I don’t, for me the worst is definitely Oud for Greatness and so many people compare it to BR540 but on my skin OG is intoxicating in a bad way! The way you explain why you don’t like these fragrances is spot on!!
I love this video, please make a part 2, I've smelt most of the perfumes mentioned and i agree with you 100%
Great video, I love finding hidden gems that aren't talked about much. Some of the really hyped fragrances are good and some are just ok.
I agree with you on so many. Side effect, Bouquet ideale, Ani, Ylang in gold didn't work for me either.
But Bal d'Afrique is a very sensual scent for me, I love it.
I can assure you I have been disappointed by so much hype. Love Don’t be shy is bubblegum to me. It’s likeable and fun, but it’s “not me” I have $10-$20 fragrances that I love and I’ve shunned $300 ones. I’ve learned that price is in the marketing and bottles. I’m a sucker for a beautiful bottle all day. But, everyone has different cultures, scent memories etc. that play a role in what they gravitate toward. So, don’t apologize for not liking something. People want honest thoughts and opinions at the end of the day.
To me it smells exactly like fruity pebbles or something. Which, was still beautiful, but I didn’t keep it because I don’t want to smell like cereal
Love your honest opinion! We all need more of this kind of sharing! It’s nothing negative, instead, it’s very useful!
I find that some perfume reviewers become increasingly dishonest as they rise to fame - I unsubscribed from many CZcams channels because of this. I'm glad you're not like that. Stay true 💕
"Saved by the decant" is such a great idea for a video - and super catchy title!
Was Demy one of them?
Ahhh, I am ready for the tea!
More of these! Very good and agree 100%. Many CZcamsrs got me spending money on the wrong ones!
I love this review. I was cracking up. I feel the same way about all the fragrances you mentioned. Bouquet ideale was so disappointing to me. You should make some more of this subject line. I truly appreciate this. Helps the buyers you know 🤩🥰😍
Please, we need more videos like yours Paulina. Keep going and speak your truth. For me, about 98% of fragrances give me a horrible migraine. I wish more reviewers would address this “headache inducing” quality of some fragrances. Love you girl!
Oh my goodness I had just asked about your thoughts on Nishane Ani. I was wondering why you never responded. You had this video in the works. Nice 😘. Sucks because I actually bought a full bottle of it based on the description from other youtubers. To me it just smells very spicy and leans masculine. I don't know. I will continue to try it. If it just doesn't work out I will just sell it. Thank you Paulina for another great video 😘
Love this video! You should do more videos like this one. I would have saved a lot of money on couple of fragrances that you mentioned that I blind purchase and end up returning or selling because I couldn’t stand how they smell on me. I know we all have different taste but c’mon. They are so many over hyped expensive fragrances out there and I can’t understand why people would say positive comments when they aren’t. Thank you so much! 😉😘
That was a great analysis. Please do another one like this. Thanks 😊
Bal D'Afrique is a synonym for happiness to me. Its lovely scent and long lasting on my skin. Doesn't have citrus vibe on me whatsoever.
Its nothing special
@@stefankucera3615 that really is up to personal taste...
We need more honest reviews such as this! Thank you!
Hi Paulina. We are sometimes in love with the idea of certain perfume rather than the perfume itself. 🤔
I also wanted to love Nishane Ani but alas, I don’t. On paper, it has the notes I love but I was surprised by the actual smell. A little mature smelling and the sharpness takes a long time to settle down. The scent profile brings back memories of another fragrance but I can’t figure out which one!! Thanks for the review, Paulina!
Amouage Material
Reminds me of Mfk grand soir
Thanks for another great video Paulina. Its very important that we hear what fragrances don't work and why because it encourages those that have no choice but to blind buy, to do more research and search for a decant or sample before departing with their hard earned money. Some fragrances do smell vastly different on different skin chemistry, ie La Belle le Parfum..opens up with cat pee on me, roses vanille with a beer note, etc etc.. With regards to byredo bel afrique ... totally agree..I got a light nothing.. meh ... fragrance..can't even remember the notes..unmemorable Great video!
Great video!😘 I agree with: Gris Charnel, Oud for Greatness (realy very masculine), Ylang In Gold, Side Effect, Beige. Le Lion is surprisingly love for me.
I absolutely adore Portrait of a Lady, BUT I ONLY wear she in hot weather, especially during summer evenings.
On my skin, some fragrances develop very differently at different temperatures, so I have to try/use them really carefully.😉
Bouquet Ideale was not love for the first sniff, the same with Italica. But something happened(?)😄 and I started loving them, wearing them.
It happened for me with Love don't be shy (loving the perfume later).
Totally agree about the first two, Gris Charnel and Ylang in Gold, I don’t know why these are so hyped either. The rest I either haven’t smelled or I own them cuz I love them. To each their own! Thank you Paulina for your honest opinions!
i love how honest you are people need to be more honest! im sorry for you that Ylang Ylang gold doesnt work on you i have it and i adore it i wear it alot and its amazing my first initial scent i wasnt crazy for it but i love it now
You are very humble about your opinion.I don't get some people. I saw a youtuber, that trashes perfume so harshly. She said, when a person wear this "special" perfume this person would be trashy and cheap. So keep going ❤❤ you are great ❤❤ and no need to apologize.
This had me cracking up! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 “i was in the bushes of spices.” Like I’m dead at the way you described some of these, but thank you for this and honestly i would like more of these because i feel like A LOT the niche fragrances are overhyped if I’m being honest.
The best ever video Paulina, please do more because I have bought so many fragrances based on peoples (in my opinion) fake over hyped reviews. The one that was the worst fragrance for me was Mancera’s Wild Python and yes it smelled like pee on me or like a male public toilet it was so disgusting I had to go wash it off my body. But in saying that I love and own many mancera fragrances. I recently purchased there latest one called Fig Extacy and it is so so divine.
I love your channel and thank you for having the courage to state your experience with some hyped perfumes that didn’t work for you. F*** the haters.
Portrait of a Lady is just to die for! Love it sooooo much!
Me too, always gets compimented
EXACTLY 👏🏼 Side Effect is another killer to me 🖤
You would love Surge Lutens La Fille de Berlin...if you like the rose in POL you will love La Fille🥰
@@onebzbzbee Thank you so much!🌹 It's already in my wish list 🥰🥰🥰 I tried it several times and it seemed gorgeous🔥
Oh my. A piece of me broke when you said Side Effect and Bouquet Ideale 💔 but don't worry, I'm not a Karen! 😉
Completely agree with: Gris Charnel, Italica, Oud for greatness, Ani and Portrait of a lady.
Paulina I have been waiting for a reviewer to say this, I agree with you on all of them except Ani, it wasn’t love at first sniff but after trying it again I fell in love and had to get a bottle, but the rest is spot on 🤭😂
Really appreciate your honesty!
YES, PLEASE! WE NEED MORE WARNIG ABOUT OVERHYPED SCENTS !
YOU are so spot on!!! 😘
Great video and I haven't smelled all of the fragrances you've mentioned but some of them yes, especially Ani and oud for greatness(so masculine/ weak silage), the weakest performances from a niche houses that I've experienced in a while, so glad that I sampled both. I rarely blind buy now, it's not worth the money & risk. Hyped up fragrances that don't measure up: Ani, most kayali except vanilla royale, good girl, lost cherry, love don't be shy(horrid/ rank odor), SDV, Angelique Noire, delina,xerjoff lira
For me, Italica stays exactly the same in the dry down and it's as beautiful as it was with the initial spray. I believe that the hype from other reviewers is genuine because ever since I got Italica all I crave is that perfume - I find it to be so gorgeous! So I think it's just body chemistry again that makes it go wrong for some people. I do have a similar experience with Angels' Share though - I loooove the initial scent but then on me it dries down into something disgusting that I don't think many people experience that based on how much it's hyped 😂
She gets bug spray, she bought a fake. Lots of ppl buy fakes. Shhh don’t tell her. 😂
Totally agree with you about Oud for Greatness, I find it so masculine and nothing out of this world to my nose. I do however love and wear Side Effect. I am not at all surprised that you don't like Coromandel as it is very patchouli heavy. I am also not a fan of Nishane Ani it's okay but not a wow for me - I much prefer Material from Amouage by Cecile. However I absolutely adore Portrait of a Lady and it is probably the one fragrance I would grab if my house went on fire! So interesting to hear your views and it just goes to show how subjective fragrance tastes are. Really loved this video great to know I am not the only one who doesn't care for certain hyped fragrances!
I also blind bought ylang in gold because in theory this would be 100 procent my jam. But on me it’s smells so weird and powdery…. I tried it many many times hoping I would change my opinion but unfortunately :(
And totally agree with Xerjoff… got a tester and it smelled like old wet flowers on me…
On the other end… Portrait of a lady, oud for greatness and side effect are my most worn fragrances… I love them so much.
But luckily every ones taste is different because the world would be a very place if we would like exactly the same.
Love your reviews!!!
I love the honesty and the explanations. We all like what we like and don't like what we don't. The whole masculine thing is so much how I feel about Chloe Nomade. I do not understand the hype around it. To me it is so masculine and so screechy. I love Initio's Atomic Rose and when I heard Lattafa has a dupe for it - I am on it.
I agree with you Paulina about Bouquet Ideale, it is a very watered down version of Kalemat Black by Arabian Oud. You should try it. It's definitely one of my top ten. In regards to Oud For Greatness, you should try Liwa by Widian. It's a more feminine version of Oud For Greatness with a Baccarat Rouge 540 drydown. Liwa is like the older sister of Baccarat Rouge 540. And most of the fragances you've mentioned, yes the hype is all it was.
Compared to Gypsy Water and other Byredo scents like Mojave Ghost or Blanche, Bal d’Afrique has actually eternal longevity lol(for a light, freshie)
I didn’t go mad over it at first sniff either
But later on with testing and testing it really grew on me… I combined it with soft body lotions or deodorants and it was insanely good
It literally smells of bubbly soap after a bath/shower when ur getting ready to go to an “outdoor night ball” at a beach in some tropical exotic place like Bali or the Caribbean having the time of ur life smelling fresh and soapy like ur own skin … dressed in white with soft curls…. It’s just to die for😍
For me, it’s like this scent offers that little something that is missing from the freshness/soapiness of Dior’s pure poison…. Pure poison is like the salty version of soapiness… whereas Bal d’Afrique is more delicate n sweet almost like refreshing sweetwaters of a lake or a flowing river
It’s amazing and truly irresistible. I get the price being too much but scent-wise…. it’s nothing but a gem💎
I totally agree. Creme de cuir is a masterpiece. Great vid 👌🏾👌🏾
Truly enjoy this video. Looking forward to more of this kind of content.
Italica does not change at all when I wear it! It stays completely the same for hours. Therefore I don‘t believe other reviewers don‘t care about the scents 🤪. Just a difference experience
OMG I AGREE 100% about Byredo!!!! I’m so glad i got the discovery set because you would think Bal D’Afrique and Gypsy water were the bees knees! But there’s something in there i don’t like that smells weird and i can’t put my finger on it. And honestly their fragrances that aren’t hyped are the better fragrances! Like biblioteque, sundaze, and rose of no man’s land!
Hi Paulina I love your videos! I also don’t like side effect on myself, it’s awful! But I do like it on my hubby, he’s so lucky I give him my failed blind buys 😂 - it’s definitely wayyyy too hyped up
These videos are fun and everyone is different. No one should get offended...people are too sensitive. You don't like CH Good Girl, but I love that scent and get compliments. It's totally okay if you don't like it. If everyone had the same taste and opinions, this world would be a boring place. You be true to yourself and don't worry about offending people. I always enjoy your videos!💗
Hey Paulina! Love this video and just so you know, you can buy Ariana grande REM, and boom you have Gris charnel. I wore one on each wrist and compared and on my skin, they smell exactly the same!
Also, I love gourmands too and italica is just not it! You know the wax melts yankee candle has (tarts I think), there are several that are holiday scents like home for the holidays, Christmas Eve etc? Italica literally smells like a candle or these yankee candle wax melts. It has such a potpourri vibe that I just couldn’t do it. I think the bug spray reference your talking about it the potpourri vibes I’m getting. I wore it for about an hour and actually rinsed it off, thank god I just bought a sample! You are not alone! I agree with most of the ones on this list! We have such similar taste and I want to thank you for introducing me to Swiss Arabian, I have purchased 6 fragrances since I bought their sample kit 🥰😁
Love this video, do more!I agree with all the scents except for itlalica, I have this and on me it a sweet creamy almond cake.maybye I'm lucky it turns out that way.i love lira also and navitus the embrace as some of my top gourmands.but you have me wanting to buy love and crime,its on my list!the one I agreed the most with was gris charnel,I can't stand it!lol
For me it’s Rolling in Love I just cannot do the tuberose! Ani was a over hyped but ended up loving it
Like you said, it varies depending on the individual. I don’t have any problems at all with Italica, but memo paris that you love-smelled awful on me 😂. I really wanted to buy it too!
I don’t care for Gris Charnel, love Crème de Cuir. Oud for Greatness was my first Initio fragrance. It’s amazing (to me). Not a fan of Side Effect nor Rehab.
So funny when you mentioned Coromandel and Le Lion reminding you of Shalimar. That's what I got from Nishane Ani. But the orignal Shalimar in the gold bottle. As soon as I smelled it, took me back to my mom's dresser and trying it out.
Ah no side effect is stunning. I find it way more feminine leaning to me. How do you not like Ani!?! Whattttt. 😅 I agree with you with regards to not so much vanilla but ani and side effect are the sexiest fragrances I own for sure x
I also love Dior poison Girl like u do but it doesn’t last at all! Do u have the same prob
I literally just received my first ever niche decants and Casamorati Italica was love at first scent. But when I put it on, although I did absolutely love the dry down as well, maybe about 2-3 hrs later, I got a headache. I’m going to have to try it on my skin again to make sure that the headache was from the perfume. If I get another headache, I’ll know that I cannot purchase a full bottle of Italica despite how much I adore it. But to test them, I’m smelling each one on test trip first, then devoting an entire day to having each new fragrance on my skin and jotting down my notes for how They are wearing on me and all the other stuff. If I’m going to spend this amount of money for a few of these beautiful niche perfumes, I’m going to make sure that I am buying ones that I won’t regret. Or at least prevent regret as much as I possibly can. This is a book and I apologize, but in case you’re interested, my favorite houses so far seem to be amouage and xerjoff. It just seems like everything I smell from both of them is blowing me away.
Great video! I don’t know what people hate. Everyone has different taste. ❤️💕
I got a sample of Nishane Ani and I was taken aback when I smelled it. I can’t believe anyone chooses to smell like that on purpose! I haven’t smelled any of the others mentioned, but I was tempted to try Gris Charnel. I’ll probably pass since I have Pac Ce Soir and I am in love with that scent.
I absolutely love your channel ❤️
Interesting list!!
Ani - wasn’t a love at first sniff but i grew on me and became one of my most fave vanillas. Let’s see if my nose changes again lol
POAL - still trying hard to appreciate it but i guess everyone really has their own preference.
Italica - among all perfumes in the list, this is the one i agree w the most!! I literally could feel myself vomit everytime i smell it. Made me traumatized w anything almond 😩
i had bouquet ideale i blind bought it i was so excited to get it but when i got it i hated it infact i couldnt make out was i was smelling i ended up selling it on the other hand i have italica i love that one it just reminds me of christmas like the chrismas scented candles
I have only smelled one on your list & that was Gris Charnel. Thank god I got samples & not a full bottle, I hate it. I feel like I can really trusted your nose & that we have similar taste in fragrance. Can you give me an opinion on Gucci Gorgeous Gardenia? I'm thinking of getting it for Spring but have not smelled it. ❤️
Hi beauty!! Most of the time I have the same tastes as you, like 95% (the 5% are perfumes like Gris Charnel and Bal d'Afrique which I ADORE (I can agree with your opinion on Bal d'Afrique the lasting power is not the best and it's quite simple but there's something in it that makes me love). I think you don't like bouquet idéale because it's almost a dupe for Raghba which you don't like from what I remember. I like Bouquet Idéale but it's not a love for me, not worth buying a full bottle considering the price. Maybe I'll go for a 30ml bottle!! For the Italica problem that you have, I have the same problem. On my clothes, very pretty perfume... But on my skin it turns into a weird sweet rotten thing which make me want to vomit. I also HATE Coromandel and Le Lion from Chanel 😂😂 I'm sure it's a beautiful perfume for most of the world but I smell the old pee Shalimarish thing like you 😂😂 don't like Intoxicated either. And Portrait of a Lady smell like a bad rose perfume for old lady... For Oud for Greatness and Side effect I was dying to try them but with your reviews I'm going to purchases samples before buying them because I don't want to make a mistake, same thing with Ani 😂 Wish you'll see my comment, sending you much love from France!! Love you beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Fragrance is relative & personal. Too many people are on the hype train so I do agree with some of your opinions. For instance, on me I only love portrait of a lady on a blistering cold day dressed up. I do love ani , it reminds me of Dior addict and for more nostalgic reasons. It’s hard to rate fragrances because it’s just diff for everyone. Fragrance reviews for me are just a guide and intro to what I may or may not like. The juice to most fragrances are like 6-8$ to make. It’s the mass production & packaging that brings the cost up to $$$…
Interesting list, I agree with a lot of it. Bouquet Ideal absolutely stinks on me and I got that too, sour gross woods. I also really can’t stand Gris Charnel and Ani. I don’t get how they call Ani a gourmand, on me it’s very green very ginger. Italica I do love however. When I first sprayed it I hated it but I love the dry down on me. I also really enjoyed side effect. People just have different chemistry and fragrances develop differently on each person.
Please please do another review like this with more recent hypes. I am sooo happy i am not the only one who does not get the hype about sooo many you listed here.
Yes! Perfume is very personal. I agreed with some you mentioned except Portray of a lady and Gris Charnel. Everytime I wear Portrait of a lady I stop the traffic 😀 It's the only perfum with rose acchords I stand. Definitely a huge compliment getter. One fragrance that is way overhyped and many people love it's Ivory Route by Xerjoff and it's a big No for me. It smells like a wooden drawer full of basil leaves.
Great Video! I love these kind of Videos!
Bouquet Ideale. I bought a sample and I actually assumed they either labeled it incorrectly or that the sample had gone off. I purchased the Xerjoff one to compare and yeah, it was fine but definitely not for me.
Ylang in Gold didn’t work for me either. I much prefer Note Vanillée from Micallef.
I can’t wear Italica either. I love an almond accord but I much prefer how it is done in, for example, Psychedelic Love. I do love Side Effect though 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you! We all have encounter these deceiptive experiences. I love Xerjoff Dama Bianca (beautiful), Lira (sooo yummy gourmand), La Capitale (beautifully complex) and Gran Ballo (nice and easy scent), but was not thrilled by Italica. Not so good on me (feel a bit nauseous about how the scent turned on me).
And heresy, my biggest deception: I can't stand Baccarat Rouge at all! Hate on first sniff. Oriana, Parfums de Marly is not compatible with my skin.
Omg I’ve been interested in all of these and always have to blind buy then end up hating a 300$ bottle of perfume which, u know, 🤬so THANK YOU!! ♥️♥️new subscriber!
Ani is in my top 5. I wasn t fond of it at first but that sweet spicy vanilla crawled its way to my top 5 eventually!
That's such a shame that Italica doesn't work for you! I love it, for me it gets better and better the longer I wear it. So warm and lactonic. At least you have saved yourself from having to pay for it :D
I agree with Nishane Ani. At first I sprayed it and couldn't get over how spicy and masculine it was. But ... a little got onto my coat sleeve, and when I wore the coat the next day I kept smelling a really nice smooth benzoin scent! Amazing longevity, and the dry down is very nice, but I really don't see it as a vanilla scent at all. And for the price, I'm not prepared to wait for the dry down while not enjoying the top and middle!
What are your thoughts on the gris charnel extrait ? Some dude reviewed it and his eyes rolled to the back of his head ha so now I’m like 🤔? Ha
Thank u for ur honesty. I almost bought xerjoff italica but people were saying it doesn't last and there's better out there. For that price it should absolutely last. Those niche companies are outta thier minds !
Italica stays all day on skin… it also has great projection… the only thing is there is something in the dry down that bother some people including me… just try a decant of it…
It stays maybe 12+ hours so dont worry about the longevity
I agree Initio Side effect smelled Devine when I first sprayed it but then it turned sooo masculine even cumin BO on my skin. And Ani to me smelled like a Thai massage parlor 😁 and on the dry down it smells cheap. I was glad someone talked about those two because I thought my nose was broken or something!
I dont get woman hyping up Oud for greatness for woman😌😅I would never wear that masculin scent.. I have learnt witch youtubers that I dont share same taste with, so In very aware now, from who I get inspired ❤️🌸
Interesting to hear your opinion on this fragrances after time. I actually have the same opinion on Italica, still it's really unique one, I kept it in a small size. Gris charnel will never buy just a huge no, I hear people singing operas to it, just not worth even a small decant😢
Very helpful when people give honest opinions! Hype causes people to lose $
I am so grtefull you spilt the tea about side effect not actually smelling feminine! I've heard tens of' reviews when they forgot it to mention that is is a unisex scent at best but really smelling masculine. I always got impression it is a feminine scent but luckly didn't blind buy as the notes seem masculine to me. My only blind buy dissapointment is a very overhyped (untill 2 years ago) Amethyst by Lalique ! I love CHANEL and I don't mind ALLURE even though some find it bit vintage but it is good to know that Beige smells vintage-only heard best things about it...-thanks to you I will be vary....as I generally don't like vintage:( I actually smell the pee note in Le Lion too ... ;)
it’s always different on people. scent is personal. everyone has different journey.. that’s why sometimes what is special and mind blowing to you is not on others and vice versa. for example I love Ani and Portrayal woman and Lalibela and they will always be in my collection FOREVER. I love Side Effect and Gris Charnel too for specific purposes and occasion but I’m ok if I don’t own them forever and if I can find a more affordable similar perfume to them. the other scents are like either meh or not mind blowing to me or just ok.. it’s always different. also before, I didn’t like chanel no.5 but then after a decade I became matured woman and a mom of two, I just suddenly appreciate chanel no.5 and have it in my collection. but im ok too if i don’t own it forever… so our noses and taste always evolve and you never know you might rediscover a once hated scent and turn it into love… ❤️
Ani, Portrait of a lady, and Intoxicated is a no for me too....I do love Gris Charnel and I agree Creme De Cuir is a fabulous fragrance from BDK....I love to watch many perfume review videos..but If I am interested I always buy a sample first as we all have different tastes....Great video!
Based on CZcamsr's reviews I thought italica is going to be my ultimate favorite gourmand and ani my ultimate cozy vanilla scent, but after getting samples of both I felt exactly the same way as you did :/ I had to wash off italica and Ani basically smelled like a spice market 😂
Paulina, I really enjoyed this video and although I did not entirely agree 100%, I did agree with you at least 75% or maybe more. I could also add numerous scents over-hyped scents that perhaps I don’t actually hate, but also don’t actually love either.
Paulina, have you tried Rosendo Mateu fragrances (from Spain)? I truly like all of them but especially love five of them.
Love the honestly. Everybody has there own taste and chemistry but a lot of CZcams now a days is just telsell 😂. It's about the unbiased reviews though. And I love your eyeshadow! What is it from? Can't open your Sephora link where I live.
For the most part we agree! I don't like the drydown of Italica on me, as well. Italica dries down sickly sweet and just bad, made me nauseated. I also do not smell good in Oud for Greatness, and although I wear some "masculine" fragrances it smells super manly on me, but I can pull off Side Effect. I don't get the hype on Oud for Greatness, though. I am not a Chanel woman, either, but I do like Coromandel. I agree about Byredo, too. I don't get it about Bal D'Afrique, either. I do love Gypsy Water but I got so frustrated with the longevity and bought the Alexandria dupe because it lasts longer. Try the Alexendria dupe! I can't see spending my cash on either Byredo or Jo Malone because they don't last. But the one I disagree with you: I LOVE Ani! The drydown on Ani is such a beautiful vanilla on me, and Ani is in my top 5.
Agreed with Byredo! It's crazy for me to pay that much for a perfume that last 1 hour. But I LOVE the smell of bal d'afrique Love it!
Bal D'Afrique lasts like 10 to 12 hours on my skin, bought from duty free in Stockholm at 20% discount, around 70 euros in 2017 for 50ml. It seemed a good price to me for a long lasting frag.
This is an excellent review! I agree with all except ylang in gold. I am truly in love with it. Ani smells like what I think a female pirate would. Lol.
I can't wear Grand Soir, super masculine, but Side Effects is a must have.
Fabulous list
