    I think that some of Ariana Grande parfumes are great for beginner collection. Also Britney Spears - Fantasy line, Versace - Bright crystal and Dylan Blue pour femme, Bvlgari - Omnia Crystalline, Victoria secret - Bombshell, D&G - 3 L'imperatrice, Beyonce - Pulse and Heat line, Davidoff - Cool Water, Katy Perry's perfumes too☺️ Salvador Dali - Laguna, Pepe jeans for her, Donna Karan - Be Delicious, Escada perfumes ☺️

    Hi Sarah. I enjoy your videos. I like perfumes a lot. I watch your videos on my large screen TV and cannot give you a thumbs up on that TV. But on my I-Pad I am able to use the thumbs up so I do it sometimes. I like the way you describe perfumes, and it shows how much you enjoy perfumes like I do. Take Care.

    What a great list! Some of these I have tried and loved, and all the rest I want to try!! I watched this video and saved it last month, then today I tried a sample of Lanvin eclat d’arpege and I was blown away by how special it is! It’s gorgeous! 💐 so I had to come back and find this video again! (By the way, I’m sure you hear this all the time, but you remind me so much of Leslie Mann! Even your voice!) Thank you for such a great video 🙏🏼❤️

    Hi! Thanks for reviewing Lanvin. I have been curious. I have the old original Arpege. My grandmother wore Arpege and I have always kept a bottle. I do agree with Mon Guerlain as a beginner frag- it's a great everyday dumb reach for me this time of year.

    This is a nice list! I would definitely love to see a part 2. Also, I love mon guerlain. I own it. However, I just thought I would mention a cheaper alternative if anyone is interested, guess seductive Noir is very similar in scent. Not an exact dupe, but a very nice perfume, and can be picked up pretty cheap!

    Hi! I am the one who doesn't like Pink sugar. It smells of burnt sugar for me. I'm glad I didn't blind buy it, just a small decant. Lalique Le Parfum is very mature smelling. The unusual note of laurel makes it very strange and not for everyone, I think. I persanally decided that I don't want it.

    I would recommend La Vie Est Belle (or one of it’s flankers) as a great beginner fragrance. I have a lot of fragrances and this is still my most complimented. For something a little lighter and fresher Versace Bright Crystal is a very nice choice. It’s a pretty safe, easy to wear pretty fragrance that can be found for a great price.

    • @AlexandraTroush
      @AlexandraTroush Před 3 lety +5

      I wouldn't say it's safe at all! It has a very strong patchouli that puts many people off. I personally hate LVEB, it actually nauseates me, and I know plenty who feel the same. :(

    Hi Sarah,
    very nice list for us beginners!
    I love Lalique Eau de Parfum, still it doesn't last long but I don't care.
    Mon Guerlain is nothing special in my opinion although I 've heard so much about it. It lasts only for 2-3 hours on me leaving a sweet dry down that's so nice but so weak.
    Yes, please make a part 2 beginner's video.
    Looking forward to it as soon as possible.
    Nice and interesting video🎥!

    I love watching every video you’ve done. How about a next video recommending for intermediate perfume collectors? These are great affordable ones, but maybe perfumes that might be a bit of an investment? I’m nowhere near touching niche perfumes I don’t think I ever will but I think a lot of us regular girls would love some gems that cost a bit more but are statement perfumes.
