I always think it’s fascinating to see which perfumes people actually finish a bottle of. There’s also something weirdly satisfying about finishing a bottle of fragrance. It can take a LONG time if you're not a signature scent kind of person and if you have a big collection, it can take AGES.
Anyway, here are my perfume empties that I’ve been collecting since August 2020, so my perfume empties for the last year or so. I say whether I’d repurchase / have repurchased, but for some of these, "would I repurchase?" is really a fantasy question: I think lots are discontinued and getting harder to find, which is just sadly what happens with fragrances. The flip side is that discontinuation makes shelf space for new perfumes so every cloud!
I went a bit GIF crazy in this video, sorry but I'd drunk a lot of coffee... Also, because I’m a pedant LOL, I thought I’d point out that I buy a lot of perfume secondhand, so for some of these, I may not have used the entire bottle myself as it might have come into my life as a part bottle. I try to make that clear in the video, but anyway I thought I’d reiterate it for clarity!
If you're reading this, I'd be interested to know: What perfumes have you used up recently and how do you feel when you finish a perfume you love that you might not be able to repurchase? Do you hoard fragrances that you love to avoid this happening? I think this video shows that the perfumes I empty are not necessarily the ones that I love the most. Maybe I need to alter my purchasing habits? Am I a guilty of hoarding?

Nice to know that someone is actually finishing their bottles!😩😩
🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣😭
Seriously that's what I'm saying.
Wow l love how you use up your perfumes. Like l said in your other video you inspired me to actually make an effort to use up my perfumes and beauty products. I now use a rotation tray and actually take time to show love to each Perfume. Before watching your empties videos l can honestly say l had some perfumes just sitting there pulling dust and each time a perfume hit the half way mark ld savor it and never touch it again. I dreaded actually emptying my perfume bottles. Now with so many l actually look forward to going through some and doing an empties video. Thanx for sharing ❤️
I would love to watch an empties video from you, you always have such interest scents and I would love to hear your stories and thoughts about the perfumes you finish and whether you would want to repurchase. It is soooo difficult to finish perfumes when you have a bigger collection and I think the only reason I've finished this many is that some of these were part used so I did not literally use all of these. Also clearly I started using some of these years ago... It all just takes a long long time! Perfume rotation trays are a great idea! I am going to try that in autumn. ❤️
I agree that having an emotional link to a perfume makes it so special even if you don’t particularly love the smell 🙌🏽
Yes, I think that has really struck me. I keep Eau de cologne because I think of my grandmother, also Elizabeth Arden blue grass makes me think of her. I keep Paloma Picasso for my great uncle and my mum is ysl rive gauche... Scent association is huge! 😘
Here watching on a gloomy Saturday morning. Thanks for bringing a ray of sunshine to the day. ❤️❤️
Gloomy here too, absolutely perfect weather for CZcams! ❤️
Hi Claire
I keep the perfume bottle lids the rest I separate for recycling ♻️.
I keep the lids just incase I buy tester bottles that don't come with their lids!
But there are some bottles I couldn't bare to throw away!
That's a really good tip to keep the lids! I was missing a lid and saw there was an empty tester with a lid in a shop near me so I asked the staff and they let me take the lid, which I thought was lovely of them! Yeah some bottles are just too pretty aren't they? I don't think I'd keep any apart from Lola or Chloe. Those two are the prettiest here.
Thanks so much for watching Shahina! 🥰
I'm so impressed. I don't think I've ever finished a bottle. The bottles are works of art. 👋🏻🎃👍🏻
It can definitely take a while! Not as long as panning a blush though LOL. In either case, if you have a lot to choose from, it can take a very long time indeed... I am not sure I will finish many more this year.
@@dr.claire.perfume 😁
I loved the headache meme of Benedict Cumberbatch👌. If finishing bottles was an Olympic sport I think you'd win gold Claire. This isn't a backhanded compliment, I too love to see people use the things they've bought and not save them for Sunday best etc.
No risk of me taking anything backhanded. I get mistaken and misunderstood a lot when I mean nothing by things so I always think the best of what people write! Honestly so many times I wonder what I have written and re read to check what might have possibly said 🤦♀️
I am slowly learning to spray more after the how long does it take to use up a perfume video I did ages ago! I don't want anything sitting unused or unloved!
I don't think I want a huge collection so I am glad to have used a few up, but this is a drop in the ocean... I need to buy fewer... I just have so many I want to try that aren't available in shops to sniff! 🥰 Thanks for watching as always! I am so grateful! ❤️
@@dr.claire.perfume My pleasure 👏. You make my Saturdays. I've recently been working extra shifts and your videos help me to park my working week.
@@kathywitter6076 oh working Saturdays is the worst. I remember doing that. My husband was at work today too. It really messes up your downtime. 😔
Lancôme Miracle is such a pretty scent. You finished so many! Is not ideal when they discontinue good perfumes
I think most of these got discontinued... I guess perfumes are like fashion trends. Most people will only buy a perfume one time, so there's a sweet spot where companies either cut it or keep it if they see signs of repeated repurchasing in number. Bet the stats on perfume sales are a big part of that decision. I would love to know how many bottles of something like Coco mademoiselle or lveb get sold every year!
Lovely video, Claire - I always enjoy hearing about your favorites, and the ones you didn't like too!!!🥰🥰🥰
Thank you 😂
Ohhh sis you Have a new video Love love it!!! I’m sitting here thru every commercial and oerfume!! 😍😘🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
LOL I have no idea why there are commercials now seemingly on everyone's videos, even if they don't have 1000 subs. It's really odd. Thanks for watching Brenda. 🥰
Love your fragrance empty videos. They are fun to watch. Love your honest review about the perfumes you used 🌹🌹
I really like making empties videos 😊 I think they are my favourites, I have 6 empties to talk about right now, but I will make another video when I get to 10+. Thanks for watching ❤️
First one! Listening on my way to work….😉❤️
Thanks so much for watching 😘
@@dr.claire.perfume my pleasure. Always. 😉
Wow! You went through so many! 😮Great video love! I enjoyed watching it! So satisfying! 😊
Thank you ❤️
You are just so funny….the AP story! 😂
You should have seen my husband's reaction when he smelt the bin with the empty packaging in... Ugh! 😝
Very fun video to watch especially the pop ups like the weird cow and the queen 🤣
Thank you, definitely went a bit crazy with the memes 😂
@@dr.claire.perfume love them🥰
Wow wow, that's great perfume empties, I'm so impressed big like 👍 💟❤😻
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Great review Claire. You have tried so many fragrances its fantastic!
Thank you! 🤗 I enjoy trying different scents so much!
Hi Claire! Ooh! I'm excited to see this! 🤩I have only finished a handful of perfumes. I have just too many to go through. But this is so satisfying to see empties! 🤩That Jimmy Choo Stars sounds good! 🤩Aldehydic perfumes can surprise you! They can be so bright and sunny! ☀️I had a VW Princess when I was very young. I still have the mini. 😊
Think I need to try some aldehydes when I grow up 😂 my mum ONLY wears rive gauche and that has put me off for a long time. She also had Chanel no 5 EDT in splash and I managed to drink some of that as a child. I still stay away from Chanel 😂
I just saw Jimmy Choo Stars ⭐️ at a local wholesale store. I wasn’t sure if I should get it. Listening to you, I think I should!
Wow! Lucky you! I think Joss is a big fan too. 🥰
Hey Gorgeous,
I love this because when you can finish a bottle you know the fragrance is loved 🥰
Hey! 😍 Most of the time! I think a few of these I couldn't wait to finish LOL 🤣
@@dr.claire.perfume 🤣 I do this always
Loved your video. Chloe L' Eau was one of my First bottles in my collection. There ist still a little rest for reference. Love IT.
Thank you! Oh it's a beautiful fragrance, so sad that it is gone! Great for spring time too! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Very interesting video 👌😊 haven't finished a perfume since some time 🙈 and yes, I had problems to trough the empty bottles away 🙈🙈🙈
It's a strange feeling isn't it? But yes I find myself hanging onto them! I don't think I will finish this many in the next year. I have more perfume now, my collection expanded quite a bit this year so it will take much longer to finish one... Thanks for watching ❤️
Stumbled across your video while watching perfume empties and thanks to your description I now have Jimmy Choo Rose Gold on the way! So thanks a lot🙄🤦♀️😛😂 it sounds amazing! The notes are right up my alley! Thoroughly enjoyed this video, thank you!!!
I really hope that you like it, I've heard it is pretty much the same as Stars, so I hope it is just as good! Thank you for watching!
Hi lovely Claire! I’m so impressed you finished 14 bottles!
So am I! I counted several times LOL 🤣
Always curious to know what folks have been using and going through. I am a huge fan of the OG Agent Provocateur. It's a lifer for me. Great video!! ✌🏽🧜🏼♂️❤️
It was a shock to me, complete turnaround from no no no to ooh, this is nice!
Flower Bomb, Woman, Romance:)
@@Jacqueline_R aah are these ones that turned from no to loves for you?
@@dr.claire.perfume all three I liked and then loved:) 💗💗💗
Busy watching while doing my hair. Love that you are keeping me company🥰
You off out somewhere nice?! 😘
@@dr.claire.perfume nope I wish!...I was busy with renovations all day...was all dusty and sweaty🤣
@@valhasviews yeah my fantasy life is far more interesting that the reality too 😂
@@dr.claire.perfume 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loved this so much 🤩
Thank you!
This is one of my favorite types of videos. I like hearing final thoughts on perfumes.
Me too! I love seeing what people think at the end of a bottle...
Yeah me too even if you already own it is nice to hear others reaction how it works for them and weather time they usually use them everyone is different.
@@ccsilva6110 good point, weather and climate makes a huge difference to how much you enjoy something 👍
Great video and I love your meme usage!
Thank you! 😂
Always enjoy your videos 😊
Thank you! 🥰
Hi Claire! This is such a fun video!! I love perfume empties - it’s something I haven’t achieved in AGES. I’m so impressed with your dedication to completing the bottle - I myself am someone who gets nervous when the bottle starts running low, and subconsciously stop using until a backup is achieved… 🤦🏻♀️ this goes for makeup and skincare too, I loathe this trait about myself! Anyway, this year I’m attempting to “project pan” my whole life and just clear out that unnecessary clutter… and hopefully finish at least one bottle of something.
Yes I do this too! I am hoarding my old formulation Womanity and also Glossier You and Narciso Poudrée 🤣 it's ridiculous 😂 I have been project panning these for sure! I have already bought more fragrances to replace them though 🤦♀️ I've also been trying not to buy any new makeup or skincare and I've definitely made a bit of dent in those stocks now. It takes ages to finish makeup doesn't it?!
Hey Claire!
I've recently discovered you! Today as I started watching more of your videos I thought I would consider subscribing to your channel.
It's amazing that you managed to empty so many perfumes!
I think we should use up our fragrances and at the same time be able to enjoy them.
I've used up 3 so far:
Lady Million Paco Rabane which I really enjoyed as well as the body lotion.
This body lotion is amazing!It's there from beginning till after 6 hours which I feel unbelievable for a body lotion!
La Belle, I would repurchase both.
I also emptied Princess by Kilian. I love❤ it a I would definitely repurchase it.
Love from🇬🇷 Hellas!
Hello! Thank you! Ooh I would love to try Princess! I have only tried Kissing, Forbidden Games and angels' share.
It does take a while to finish a fragrance, I doubt I will finish as many this year as all of my near empty bottles I've now finished. Last year I did seem to finish a lot, but many were minis and travel sizes. Thanks for watching ❤️ love back from the UK 🇬🇧
I love how you describe Miracle. Spot on. 😉❤️🥰
Thank you! I was pleasantly surprised by Miracle. 😊
That Lola bottle is so over the top I love it. It’s such a shame when they discontinue good perfumes 😱
Yes, it all looks demure until you get to the lid 😂, same with most Marc Jacobs... I really like the peppery rose scent but I know lots of people don't! Peony rose pepper seems to be out of fashion now.
You've been busy! Well done 😊
I've finished one bottle of perfume, Rihanna Nude, but this is coming from someone who barely wore any until I got into fragrances this year. The fragrances I've acquired since have decent dents though so I'm proud! I expect they'll be empties next year 😊
Well that's enough, that you love and appreciate them and use them. I buy a lot secondhand so it's not like I've used every drop in some cases. 🧐
Did you like Rihanna nude and did you try the other three from the line and choose that one? I've heard a lot of people say that either that one or the black one are their favourites. I've not tried any Rihanna. I want to try rogue! Thanks so much for watching ❤️
@@dr.claire.perfume I wasn't impressed with Nude. It was a present so I didn't pick it. It was okay but a bit safe, just a creamy fruity scent. Not bad. I really like Reb'l Fleur and Rogue. Reb'l Fleur smells similar but better than La Vie est belle, Rogue smells similar but muskier and more leathery than Gucci Rush... For reference.
@@Peaceandcrosses89 ok, so Rogue is a Barbie with leather and musk! I assume all Rihanna scents will get discontinued now, if they aren't already, with the Fenty release. Prices will probably start going up. I think before I started watching CZcams I was snobby about celebrity scents. Now I am curious about them. There are some good ones, they are just rare. I think that's why I never tried Rihanna perfumes, because by the time I wanted to, there were no longer testers...
Great video, and subbed. Nice to see someone who actually use there frags and not just 'collect' them. Ow and a thumbs up for being another uk frag head :D
Thanks! I already subbed to you, so can't help you out there 😂 yes I use them, I just feel I need to use even more LOL.
@@dr.claire.perfume well cant beat a haul video either, been watching through some of yours
I am so impressed that you were able to finish so many! I have done "project use it up" on fragrances before but only worked through 3 bottles or maximum 4 a year 👏🏾
Remember I buy a lot of my perfumes secondhand part used and a lot of these were minis, so that is probably equivalent! What did you use up?
@@dr.claire.perfume Ohhh thats really smart. I used up in the last 12 months moschino I love love, Ariana grande cloud & ysl mon paris. I am almost done with Nina Ricci L'extase which I am hoping to carry me through fall and I switch to winter scents next month.
@@sms1511 I'd love a bottle of ysl Mon Paris ❤️
Time to start the Claire Smith marathon of all the videos I’ve missed 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Yay you're back! 😍
I absolutely love Lola because the bottle is stunning.
It's definitely a pretty one! 🥰
The “Lab” Labrador hahaha! You are so funny
I absolutely love labradors, I had two as pets growing up and they were both amazing dogs. They are totally obsessed with food though 😂
wow😍🤩 you finished a lot! I haven’t had a empty since my collection grew…I’ve had Beyoncé heat, on me it was more on honeysuckle that was too heady. I gave it to my best friend who loved wearing it🙂
Yes the honeysuckle is heady. I've heard a lot of people say that they find it too much. At least you got to pass it on. I hate it when I don't like something and it just sits unused. I always try to move them along! 🥰
This was so impressive!! Chloe L'Eau is one I have my eye out for for a deal. I would love to have tried Stars. Viva La Juicy Noir is one of my favorites, lol.
Oh I love Chloe L'eau! It smelt very ladylike and classy. I really struggle with VLN. I think though it is very well regarded. I think I am sensitive to heavy caramel / sweet notes. Thanks for watching!
Great empties!
Thank you! ❤️ Hope you are well!
Hi Claire 👋 I put my empties into my recycling bin ♻️ I'm trying really hard to curate my collection to what I really love ❤️ It's a journey that's for sure, but I'm learning what I like & don't like. I hate waste too and use up everything! 🤗❤️👋
Yes, it's a learning curve, and actually using stuff up teaches you more what you do and don't like than just decluttering it. Thanks for watching ❤️
Love that Lola bottle !! That’s one I would NOT throw out
Yes! I have kept that one for now! x
I love these kinds of videos
Me too! It's interesting to see what people are bothered enough to finish!
I feel you in Lola. I'm searching for something that smells like Oh Lola for years! I loved that one so much around 2014
I have never tried Oh Lola, but I know it was really popular and quite sought after when it was discontinued. It's one of those I won't seek out because if I fall in love, it will be hard and expensive to find a new bottle.
'Look at me and look at this bottle. Do we go together? No we don't' 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha! Hi Ruby! Was thinking about you this morning and here you are, like magic ✨
@@dr.claire.perfume ahh thank you! Yes I’ve been busy with work and whatnot and then before you know it months have passed etc haha! I’m slowly catching up on all these videos I’ve missed! There’s been TWO kayali releases recently and I bought both and I think you’d really like Invite Only as it’s quite unique it’s like a smoky black cherry
@@rubysbeautydesk1485 I think the invite only definitely sounds like the best of the bunch for me so far. I have seen SO many reviews, I feel like I already smelt it 😂 yeah CZcams takes up a LOT of time!
There is something so exciting about using up a perfume
Yes! It's strangely thrilling to finish a bottle. I guess because it takes a long time!
Your Agent Provocateur description! 😂🤣 And yes, roller balls are abysmal. 🤦♀️
AP was an experience! Goes to show you need to keep trying perfumes, things can change!
I know the secret with rollerballs now though, decanting all the way from now on, if I can ever find a decent atomiser that doesn't leak 😭🤦♀️
Hi Claire 😄 I love empties videos, and there are so many in this one 🤩 Secret Obsession kind of look like Garlic 🧄 like a cute glass sculpture of garlic tinted brown 😂 Miracle from Lancôme, I’ll have to get my nose on that one, you had me and crisp white shirt ✨ I have used up many, so far only a little 30ml of Valentino Donna born in Roma, a travel size of BDK rouge smoking, and a travel size of By the Fireplace from Maison Margiela
Aah I'm sure your collection of empties will grow! Everyone loves Valentino Donna, I need to retry it! I would love to smell rouge smoking, that's been on my to do list for a while.
I love empties too! I find them oddly satisfying to watch. I guess I am pleased that someone squeezed every last drop of joy possible from their perfume bottles 😉
@@dr.claire.perfume yes!! So satisfying, something about seeing all that empty space 😂
I never thought I would purchase a big bottle of La vie est belle. The minis didn't do it justice, maybe it is because they were dabbers and were not distributing it evenly on my skin. I am glad I bought the big bottle.
Yes I agree, dabbers really don't give you the full impression AT ALL! Sprays are much better!
I was tempted to get Viva La Juicy Noir. Glad I did not fall into temptation.
Unless you like heavy piercing caramel, it's a no! 🥰
Great video 💗
Thank you ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I love Lancome Miracle. It's so feminine & beautiful.🌸🌸🌸It's underrated
I was really impressed by it. I'd not smelt it, it was a blind buy and it ended up being a really easy reach. I felt it was absolutely perfect for work. Made me feel professional and crisp! It's seemingly simply but the ginger and lychee make it really interesting! 💕
I love the original Jimmy Choo. 😍😍 I struggle to finish any perfumes since I have my channel as I have too many now. 🌸🌸
Yes I think that will be more the case for me in future too! 🥰
Oh those are a lot that you went through. 👌🌸🖤🤍
Haha yes. I'm sure I will never have this many again 😊
Wow you did good! I use up maybe 1 bottle a year, but I also have 30+ scents
Thanks, it was quite good to be rid of a few of these 🤣 I should perhaps declutter rather than try to finish things I'm not keen on. I'm going to film another empties video soon as I have another 12 to talk about right now! Thanks for watching ❤️
I’ve acnever smelled any of the Chloe fragrances. I’m probably the only person who hasn’t!
I think you'd like them, you're a chypre girl at heart I think, judging from your original collection of fragrances. Chloe fragrances are light in the main though. Maybe now you're on your Middle Eastern fragrance journey Chloe might be a bit light?
Well Claire you've hit legendary hero status 🤣 I have never seen so many empty bottles, that is so impressive.
I get what u mean the fragrance itself doesn't need to be special it is more about the meaning and association to us.
I've probably got two empty bottles that I kept and they're probably ten year old now 🤣 again just in awe still
Well I buy a lot of secondhand fragrance so I haven't necessarily used every drop. In some cases I am very glad of that 😂 definitely a mixed bag of likes and dislikes here. Very much still learning what my taste is... Are you enjoying the super gloomy weather? I keep watching videos of people saying how they love autumn when they talks about autumn perfumes... My utility supplier went under this week along with nearly a million other people's, I am not loving autumn so far...
@@dr.claire.perfume oh Claire I'm so sorry about that. We know this is mainly the B word that we aren't allowed to mention. I really do feel for everyone going through this bloody mess atm.
Yes it has been rather gloomy it is my season tho.
You are very wise with the used bottles and yea the thrill is we might not love things isn't it
@@scentedsnowdrops oh yes B! Although the pandemic is being blamed politically for everything that it isn't causing, such as the lorry driver crisis etc. I can't believe that will wash with anyone! I wonder what deal I will get now, I wonder who I will get? It's weird because you have no idea what you are being charged or who is supplying you! 😂 I am glad I am not someone having to budget every penny. I worry for those people who have planned their every outgoing for it all to be thrown into disarray. It's no fault of theirs, yet they will be punished. 😔
Glad you are enjoying the gloom. Forgot your passion for it. In the summer, you must just draw the curtains a lot! Anyway the autumn is a lovely excuse to crack out some different fragrances at least! 😉
@@dr.claire.perfume yea the pandemic definitely came at the right time for B and his liars I mean benefactors... But it is done and yup its always us at the bottom who suffer and pay for everything. But yea. Well hopefully you'll get someone good 🙂
And oh yes deeper warmer ones although this summer seems to be lasting forever
@@scentedsnowdrops just went for a short walk, beautiful weather today and saw my favourite cat so no complaints here. Wearing Stash today, trying to get into the autumn mood. Yesterday was Gucci guilty absolute pour femme. I really don't know why they didn't market that as unisex 🤔
One of what I love about you that you won’t be bothered by letting go of a fragrance that is not smart decision!$ like is so bad that this fragrances we love get disconnected and that is good you finish everything is also the smartest thing to do!
They all deteriorate sadly so if you enjoy them, you need to use them! I always want to try new things with perfume so I rarely repurchase much. 😘
That covet bottle top reminds me of my outside water tap 🚰
I can definitely see what you mean! Honestly when they first came out, I remember people wore the top as a pendant!!! Weird!
Hi Claire! I really enjoyed this video a lot! It was so funny, genuine and informative as well. I loved the memes you’ve used as well. It made me smile! 😁 talking about perfumes I have finished. Just got done with my Viva La Juicy the original. I am one of those people that enjoy it. I think though it’s much lighter and more orangy than the Noir version. I think I would really love a lot of the perfumes you said you liked, especially Jimmy Choo Stars sounds really great. I also love a lot of rose and peony perfumes. And my all time favorite used to be Stella by Stella McCartney. Now it has disappeared and you can only buy it for $$$$$ :) online. I think you might like Very Irresistible Rose Crush. It a fresh cosmetic peppery Rose. I bought the original Chloe in my hopes to find a replacement for Stella. Not sure I love it though. I also have Lola, a gift from my husband as well. And definitely agree with having an emotional link to my perfumes. That’s why I try to avoid wearing something if doing something unpleasant or when something upsetting happens. Best scented regards! 💖👋🌹
Oh Stella makes me so sad! I saw a 100ml bottle EDP old version for £20 and I was in a huge rush prepping for my wedding at the time. I really wish I'd taken 5 mins just to ask for it out of the cabinet and bought it... But I didn't. I've not seen it since in a shop. 😭 I did try to bid on a part bottle of perfume on Monday but then my new PhD student turned up and I forgot to bid... Ugh! Anyway!
Juicy couture, I don't know what it is, I tried the og, the noir and gold couture. No to all so far. I feel like I might like the rock the rainbow line maybe? Noir was nearly empty when I got it, very little left, but it was difficult to tell if I'd used it all because you can't see through the bottle. I'd keep thinking it was done and then it would spray again 😂
Lola is really my old time signature. I've not worn it for a few months. I might wear it again this week. I think it stands out like Decadence for being very different to the other Marc Jacobs fragrances. I would definitely not wear scent to anything I knew would be a negative memory, totally agree.
Thanks for always watching! I really appreciate your comments and love having a chat 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume likewise! I appreciate chatting with you as well. Yes, I was pretty sad about Stella. Might not ever smell it again. A lesson for the future. Scents can make you time travel! Oh well, on we go towards the future then. :)) Out of the Vivas, you might like the very original one, if you like tuberose. It’s Juicy Couture Juicy Couture. I believe that’s the name. So no Viva at all then. :)) I think I will buy it in my next haul. I love Tuberose now as well as Rose.
@@natalinastella5144 I am slowly learning to grab stuff when I see it. I also missed out on Alien essence Absolue when I could have grabbed a bottle. I'd not tried it so I didn't want to risk it, but I should have just gone for it. You live and learn. I really loved Stella when I'd tried it, I am regretting not having that one much more than the Alien.
Yes perfume just can take you back to another place and time for sure. I will look out for that JC. I think I remember the bottle, lid like a star burst? 🤔
@@dr.claire.perfume I know Stella was very beautiful! It’s very sad indeed. A purple gem. Yes, JC has a kind of clear crystal type lid and a metal lock decoration on the bottle. No bows. :) Hope you can try it. I also love My Way for the Tuberose fragrance. Can’t say I liked L’interdit very much. Everyone keeps raving about that one online. Maybe I am missing something. Have a great weekend! 🥰
@@natalinastella5144 I have tried l'interdit range a few times, mainly the intense, which I think I like the most. I'd say I get something different each time. The first time I really got the sesame and loved it. The other times I've got headache white florals. I am not sure why it changed. I tried the rouge, I thought it was interesting but I don't like it enough to want to wear it I don't think.
Lancôme Miracle is one I’ve had on my wish list for the longest!
It's not loud, it just smells professional, clean and crisp, but I think the ginger and lychee makes it a bit more business like than other light florals.
Paris Hilton's just me smells exactly like lancome miracle x
@@megzzr7522 ooh thanks so much for the tip! It's much cheaper! I will check it out! ❤️
I regret to this day throwing away my empty bottles . Now I don’t like to completely empty the bottles 😀specially if I love the design🥰Enjoyed this video❤️
Wise! It's good to have a scent reference too! I threw away a few before I started my channel and I regret that. I've little storage room though so they might eventually have to go! Thanks for watching 😘
😂😂😂😂 AP - I love it. I don’t understand when people say it’s animalistic. For me it smells amazing
Maybe they reformulated? I will look up my bottle and see how old it is. I think I began seeing it differently after a few wears but initially I felt like running away from it 😂
ALL THE ALDEHYDES! lol (I was born in 1970, so...) The way companies discontinue fragrances almost as soon as they release them, I've started buying an INSTANT backup of anything I really like. One day I'll be on an episode of Hoarders, but I'll smell good, so... Meh, life is too short to use any perfume I dislike. I have a friend who is a happy participant in my "mistakes", and I pass anything I'm not fond of onto her. The Secret Obsession bottle reminds me of I Dream of Jeannie. :D
Haha, you are wise to buy backups of stuff you like, they are gone in a flash these days! And we all need a few of those friends for fragrance mistakes 😂 and yes, a few people have said that about the secret obsession bottle, so it's definitely a good likeness! Thanks for watching ❤️
I dream the day when I finish one perfume😌
If you've got a big collection I think it is really hard to empty perfume bottles. I am not sure I will empty many next year as I keep buying... 🤦♀️
Oh that jimmy choo stars sounds lovely.. I have the edt and never wore it.. Not a fan..
Im surprise to see that you've finished perfumes even if you dont like them.. I wish i could do that too.😊
Some of these had very little left or short longevity. I tend to overspray ones with short longevity if I am not keen on them. I often declutter and sell perfumes that I don't like too, but only the ones that I know people will want. I don't think anyone would want a part used Beyonce or a secret obsession with not much in ( I bought those in bundles myself so I doubt they would sell individually). Only viva la juicy noir was a struggle but there wasn't much left thankfully... The rest were perfectly wearable.
Stars was lovely, I think you would enjoy it. I've not tried Jimmy Choo EDT, but the EDP is heavy patchouli sweetness. So I imagine the EDT to be less heavy sweetness and more citrus. Thanks for watching 🥰
Haha! I’m the same I don’t know what to do with my empties. It will feel weird to bin it!
For sure! I want rid but also perfume bottles have some strange sentimental attachment too!
Perfumes become special because of a memory associated to it !! I have a tiny bottle of Oscar d larenta because it was my cousin’s signature scent ,but it doesn’t smell good on me ,I just keep it to smell her
Yes! For sure the scent memory associations are strong! I keep one that my great uncle used to wear to remind me of him, I have some of my grandmother's scents too!
Ohh and I love the giffs LOL
I went a little crazy. Inspired by Jon Snow no doubt.
La Vi e’ belle is my Darling darling ! Is a all seasons and now you turn me into a mini situation!! Hahahahahh thank you sis I’m in trouble now. But i guess is smarter because what about if you don’t like it you just have a miniature👩❤️💋👩🙏🥰
I have no idea how I got so many minis of the same perfume. I had 4 or 5 of lveb at one point. I gave lots away and only used up this one. I wanted a spray bottle so I have that now. I never thought I was that into lveb but it is so comforting and enveloping. Really a beautiful, but also very popular fragrance! 🥰
I think i saw MJ lola before on fragrancex im not sure now if they still have it 💜
It will took forever for me to finish a bottle 😂 i have bottles here that is almost empty but those are minis 😂
Oh I will have a look, there are a few things that I'd seen on fragrancex that I was after and couldn't find elsewhere, it's a good site.
Minis are super cute 😍 seems a shame to empty them but they are a good way to sample! 🥰
Fantastic video
Thank you 😊
I wish I’d tried Jimmy Choo Stars, if sounds gorgeous 🧡
It was beautiful. I think rose gold might still be available in a few places though if you wanted to try something similar. Thanks for watching 😘
That “Good Day Peasant” meme 🤣
You gotta love Queenie 🥰
Haha, I agree with everything you said about Agent Provocateur. It's referred to as 'skanky' by some and I know what they mean. However I used to wear it and loved it back in the day.
I love the old Chloe L'eau too. Such a shame it was discontinued. Why did they do that?? 😡 Have you tried the new pink Chloe L'eau (2019 or 2020 I think). It's not got that sparkling lemonade vibe but I find it has a slightly fizzy quality l. It is absolutely beautiful and perfect for Spring.
Agent Provocateur was a revelation! Started off hating it, ended up loving it! So weird! I think having to open a box soaked through with it was probably not the greatest introduction to it 🤣
Do you know, I saw that newish Chloe yesterday but I already had an armful of samples and I already had no clue which was which 😂, so I resisted trying more! I will go back and try it... I go near shops on my way back from work (dangerous for my wallet). Thanks for watching and telling me about how the Chloe smells, I was so curious about it when I saw it yesterday! 🥰
If you are still interested in AP there's a UK based website called directcosmetics that sell sealed brand new boxed testers.
Look them up they have a good selection to choose from.
@@shahinaismail1370 I have been looking at that website, did you ever order from them? I wondered what their service was like. They have a really good range of discontinued perfumes. I think I was looking for a Gwen Stefani / Harajuku lovers perfume and saw that they had a version of it. I have been so tempted to make a big order from there 🤣
@@dr.claire.perfume Hi Claire
I've ordered from directcosmetics a few times this year! I've sent you pictures on Instagram you can look through what I purchased from them.

@@shahinaismail1370 thank you! 🥰
I finished my bottle of Si passione 💃🏾💃🏾. I did finish my black Opium intense but that one I bought second hand. I want to finish my la Nuit Tresor Musc diamanté💎
Yeah I think very few of these were from new. So that's about equivalent I think. Not tried si passione. Want to try si fiori.
I wish I’d tried Jimmy Choo Stars, if sounds gorgeous 🧡🧡🧡
I think the rose gold that Chantel bought might still be available somewhere... The candied orange makes it very festive! I hope Chantel is ok. I keep thinking about her. ❤️
I’m the same way with using things up. 😰 I’ve used some perfumes as car, bathroom, room sprays if I can’t use it on my body.
I've not resorted to that yet but never say never! I certainly do that kind of thing with other things I don't like, for example facial skincare I will use as body moisturiser. Better it is used than thrown away! What am I saying?! I really struggle to throw anything potentially usable away. 😂
I need to work through some fragrances.
Most perfume obsessives do 😂
I LOVE SJP covet! Luckily my bf loves it too and we share it! it’s pretty unisex I think
Oh yes for sure, definitely one you can share. It's a really interesting fragrance! I actually have another perfume empties video coming tomorrow, so please look out for it if you like perfume empties. Thank you so much for watching! x
@@dr.claire.perfume that’s exciting! It’s amazing to see people are actually using up their perfumes and it made me more motivated to make good use out of mine. I appreciate your content so much, you always have wonderful ideas and you are inspiring !
@@riesu8042 thank you so much! That is just so kind! I hope you have a lovely weekend 😘
I recently finished marc jacobs daisy love
I heard that's a good one. You have a huge collection so that is a major thumbs up. I have almost blind bought Daisy Love a few times, but right now I'm in Marc Jacobs detox 😂
@@dr.claire.perfume lol.
I wonder if you can recycle ♻️ bottles? I don't know either but seems you should be able to? You made your way through quite a bunch of bottles!! That was impressive.
My understanding was that the glass was thicker than domestic bottle glass and that the council don't like you recycling it. But I know people put them in the recycling and I cant see that it's that different to a whisky bottle or something like that really! UK is complicated with recycling. Local councils say and do different things 🤦♀️
I cannot claim that I have a perfume collection. Once I run through a bottle I buy another. I bought my first perfume when I was 16 years old, now I am 45, I have gone through numerous bottles of perfume but no matter how I much I like a perfume I always get enthusiastic about a new one. The only perfumes I have repurchased are Dior addict and poeme by Lancome and this says a lot about me. By the way I absolutely hate Agent Provocateur.
I totally understand, I think right now there are very few fragrances that I would repurchase because I always want to try something new! I also get people not liking agent provocateur, I absolutely hated it, I have no idea why I kept trying it! I bet if I bought a bottle now, I would probably hate it again because I wouldn't be used to it again 😂 if a perfume is that much of a struggle, it honestly is not worth it!
I found the Viva la Juicy Noir to be very soapy. A big no for me too! I like rosy peony scents too. I have rose and roses from Dior. It's not ground breaking but very pretty and an easy reach that has some geranium too. 💗
Rose and roses really does sound pretty! Not everything has to be or can be ground breaking and I am beginning to appreciate that the ones I reach for most are probably the ones that are just pretty and nice! xxx
@@dr.claire.perfume that's true! Rose and roses was a gift and I really enjoy it but absolutely blooming is my favorite from that line 💕🌈✨🌟🌙💓
@@Tina-wi7we aah ok, I think that the one that was being discontinued that people were trying to find!
Impressive!.. love this type of content/vids i might need to do a similar video soon as well... great upload!
Yes please do ☺️
"do we go together? no we don't" LMAO
I still have not decided on Secret Obsession... i have been wanting to get that... the bottle looks like garlic to me.. hahahaha....
La Vie Est Belle is actually a really nice one... you can smell it everywhere, just like Coco Mad or Chanel Chance (+flankers), so i don't get the hate... but anyway, it is beautiful
Secret obsession is meant to be a classic isn't it? It was all over CZcams during lockdown. Maybe my bottle wasn't fresh? I would like to smell one in a shop and compare... I compared my bottle of Romance and it was nearly the same just slightly less rosey.
Lveb is surprisingly nice. I couldn't believe it when I used a 4ml dabber in about two weeks.
Is Princess popular in the Philippines especially or was it just what was available in Costco at the time? I don't get why people love it, it really has a cult following though!
I think for me it depends whether there is any point in selling it if I don't enjoy it. If there's not much left, I'll probably just use it. If there is more left and I can sell it, I will. I rarely have anyone interested to give them to. I did give away some mini lveb though because they were untouched and the people who I gave them to hadn't tried it! 😯
I definitely have at least one bottle, maybe more to declutter. From the 10 bottles I've decluttered so far, I've still got 2 that haven't sold! Some have hung around for months. I had lady million for sale for at least 6 months 🤦♀️
It's weird because I don't want a big collection but I also want to try lots of perfumes that I can't find in shops to try! Decants usually around the price of buying secondhand so I just buy a bottle instead. 🤷♀️
Hhahahaha when you talked about « Viva La Juicy » It’s not for me either!
It was a struggle to use that one up! 😂
I empty bottles i keep some and recycle others at a local shop there some use for art projects
aah great idea, never thought about using them for art! I recently discovered that the perfume shop plant a tree for every empty bottle you return so I might take mine there 🤔 thanks for watching 🥰
I so wish I had kept some of the empty bottles from the past 🤷♀️ But I’m a declutter girl and like to throw stuff out LOL
I know! I am surprised you even do empties videos! I would have thought you would chuck it out right away!
@@dr.claire.perfume ohh believe me I’m so happy when I can chuck it all away LOL
Am here friend 🙋🏼♀️
Thank you!
@@dr.claire.perfume ur welcome
I’ve actually never smelled any of the Chloe fragrances. I’m probably the only person who hasn’t!
I think since you like chypres, you will like them, although they are pretty light, so I don't know... Long lasting but not strong.
Wow congrats seriously you know is hard when you have to many perfumes or myst seriously have to finish that stuff seriously I always say not cool especially spending money and going to waste it does hurt how you focus just in one seriously without going into hopping to others my goal is no more repurchase especially if they didn't last like I hoped bummer.
Repurchases are something I sometimes regret. Sometimes it's better to just enjoy the bottle and move on! Yes I absolutely hate waste so I find it super satisfying to finish something 🤣 thanks for watching 😘
I had the Lancôme Miracle and hated it! It was too sweet for me.
It is sweet for sure, Lancôme like sweet, especially in their more modern fragrances. Thanks for watching 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume thank you, for your videos. They are informative and inspiring!
Thank you 😊 that's lovely to hear 🥰
I do think we get obsessed with perfume when we think it’s no longer available 🤦♀️
For sure, for some reason, scarcity makes people crave things. I think there's definitely a pyschological effect when perfume is discontinued. As soon as people notice, there seems to be a mad rush to buy. People also underestimate just how long it takes to go through a bottle of something, especially when you have a medium - large collection.
Wow you used up a bunch. Good for you!
Thanks! Some of these had been on the go a good while and I buy a lot of secondhand too so they are often not full. I think the PC term is "preloved" 🤣
Love katemoss by kate best.
Yes that one was a love! It's a beautiful fragrance, really sad that one was discontinued. Thanks for watching 😘
Great Intelligence. WOW. I think you should be a prefume entrepreneur. Please visit Malaysia. I modify perfumes so please come with your husband. About the bottle cap its a problem cause you need a perfect size to replace it. Tqvm. Nice listening to you although I only paid 70% attention. CU &TC
Thank you for watching. 🙂
