The “metallic musk” scent may be the musk “Habanolide,” which is a very popular musk used in perfumery. A LOT of perfumes contain it, but it’s probably more noticeable in some perfumes more than others, depending on whether it is combined with aroma chemicals that mask the scent. Habanolide is know to have a “hot iron” scent to it, and a lot of people actually love that aspect of it. Or it could be something else. Even though perfumes only list a handful of notes, the notes are created by combining dozens of aroma chemicals. Some perfumes contain up to a hundred or more aroma chemicals. Anyway, I have dabbled in perfumery, so I definitely don’t know it all, but I have picked up a few things. My guess is Habanolide, but there are many other aroma chemicals that have a metallic aspect to them.
I have that "metallic" sharp note with all my Dua coffee frangrances: Sweet Coffee Abode, Cafe de Dua 2.0, Salted Caramel Coffee, and Love Coffee. I let them sit and they all turn beautiful (except Salted Caramel Coffee, still needs time). My Love Coffee needs just under a week. and I believe the longer they sit the better they will become.
Hi Sarah! You look so nice! Those Laura Merciers are so good. They rebranded and I don't like the formulas now. I love Fancy so much, it's a favorite in this house. I wore Calvin Klein Reveal a lot and Happy Chopard Lemon Dulci.
Have a Few Celeb Fragrances . SJP Lovely & SJP Born Lovely ;,JLo Glow& JLo Live Luxe; Jennifer Aniston Perfume Finally Jessica Simpson Vintage Blossom which is Beautiful ❤😊
Picking up Chantilly Vanilla right away, thank you! I also really want their dupe of Hundred Silent Ways. Plz do an updated Dua collection I also would like that.❣❣❣
I love your top! I did not know that about the castor seed oil in those oils😳now I'm checking all my oils I love the old batch of Fancy too. Love that story about your neighbor and Soleil Blanc/Go Naked. It is magic for me too it is a head-turner! Sickly peach ew
@@SarahMayes sometimes i just wear the cream for bed and i can smell it the next day! i use it also with private show from britney spears perfume and other perfumes is so good 😊
Can you share what your top vanilla fragrances are from Dua? I’m looking to purchase a couple and can’t decide because there are so many options. I prefer my vanillas with a touch of sweetness if that helps. Thanks!
I was not a fan of Loukhoum. Fancy is a classic. I was randomly craving Roberto Cavalli edp so I wore it a ton. wow such a sexy perfume even in hot weather.
So I think their fixative is Ambroxan. I say this because I tried their dupe of Loubirouge because I’m hopelessly in love with that overpriced, terribly performing scent and can’t wear it as much as I want to because of the price. Well. When I tested on the back of my hand, I rinsed it off and smelled Juliette has a gun. So. I assume Ambroxan!
Loukhoum is a sweet from Greece and Turkey,called Loukoumi or Turkish delight. Don't like the smell of it,very similar scent of Turkish delight is the Kilian perfume Love don't be shy,i hate this perfume

I was wondering what metallic musk was! Thanks for a explanation!

You have become one of my favorite CZcamsrs.. can you pls do a skincare routine ? Your skin is beautiful!!
Thank you so much! I can absolutely do a skincare routine. ❤️🥰
I have been wearing ALT fragrance Sovereign a lot. It does great in this hot weather.
I've been wearing Lattafa Affection (the dupe of Kayali Pistachio) after your recommendation and I am so loving it right now
I finished my third big bottle of Jessica Simpson fancy this week 😂 I think that small bottle might get me through a few nights. I love that stuff lol
It is such an amazing scent! ❤️
I love Almond Coconut too and the Ambre Vanilla. 😊
That line is so good! ❤️

Ive only tried two duas and both of them had the same scent you are describing and it turned me off too. It never really went away either.
Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤

Wow, you look amazing 🤩

I should pull mine out. I don’t think I’ve tried that one in the heat. ❤️🥰

Hi Sarah, do you have any good suggestions for what to layer under Jasmine dominant perfumes?
Hi there! I think citrus works really well with jasmine. ❤️
@@SarahMayes I’ll try that thank you ☺️
I love watching these videos! Have you tried Silk of Paris (dupe for Dries van Noten - Soie Malaquais)?
I haven’t tried that one but I’ll have to get my nose on it! ❤️
Do you hang on to empties?
Not usually but it depends on if I want to keep the bottle.
