    I think you'd really like Al Awsaaf by Lattafa. It's not a dupe of anything. Came out in 2023 and is very underrated and barely talked about. I bought it for about $15 USD.

    I love tocade. And also hate the bottle. My grandmother wore it for a while and the sweet ambery warmth invokes fond memories. Managed to collect two vintage bottles where the vanilin turned black from age and they are unmatched. The reformulation is pretty good but the vintage version is somehow warmer and more round. Lovely to see a perfume head that also likes to explore older fragrances.

    I can’t believe you can get 30 ml of Lord of Misrule for 25-30 Pounds. That’s incredible. It’s $55 here. With current conversion, it should be closer to $31.50 - $38. I know companies don’t change their prices constantly to keep up with conversion rates, but that’s a massive difference. Looks like I should be able to eventually justify a trip over there. 😂

    • @skinscentsforfusspots
      @skinscentsforfusspots 15 годин тому

      I think they're the same style of slightly vintage, powdery, ambery vanilla's but they're very different in terms of the actual scent!. Lemon & rose vs peach & ylang ylang basically - Very different fruits and florals! Casmir is more challenging I think but it needs time to sit and settle after you first spray it ;)

    I love it that the cheap one smells better than the expensive! Revenge of the poor 😂. My best friend wears Alive and I don't care for it. I share your sensitivity to the aromachemicals, maybe that's why I don't like it?...

    • @skinscentsforfusspots
      @skinscentsforfusspots 16 годин тому

      Alive honestly smells so chemically so if you've got a sensitive nose that's probably why you don't like it! If you're ever tempted to try Lover in Dark, it would be amazing to get your friend to test it and see if she thinks it smells like Alive! Then we'd know if it really is what other people smell when they try Alice, or if it's just be a bad dupe! Or top put it another way, a much improved version of a not so good perfume, lol!

    I am loving these videos. And a huge +, you insert pictures of the scents and keep them on screen for the time you're talking about them, and the notes pyramid for a bit, really all it takes. :) I would love to hear your thoughts on Omerta "Lilou", a 15 Euro dupe for Prada Candy. Because there aren't that many cheaper options for Candy other than the Korres one.

    • @skinscentsforfusspots
      @skinscentsforfusspots 16 годин тому

      My experience with Omerta (I've got three Dior Poison Dupes that I've not got round to reviewing yet!) it that I'm not too keen on their perfumes. I've not tried Lilou but I decided not to buy more from that brand after the Poison dupes! Thanks for watching :)

  • @mortviolette284
    @mortviolette284 5 днів тому

    I think I might have smelled this one back many years ago and wasn’t a fan. It smelled almost musty to me. I have to admit, I e been tempted to buy Majestic Woods as I’ve heard so many people say that’s it’s a sophisticated woody incense with touches of praline. I suspect you might dislike that one due to the Ambroxan listed. Glistening Amber was another one that tempted me, but I’m not so sure about the raspberry note.

    • @skinscentsforfusspots

      I think that Juicy Couture just isn't the House for me! I can live with it because unlike Lancôme for instance, I hate how the bottles look! It hurts that I don't get on with Lancôme because I love how Idole, La Nuit Tresor and La Vie Est Belle Bottles look, but their DNA is head-splitting to me!

      I took a decant of sticky dates and then sold the remainder of the bottle because it's so strong! I think it's much better when sprayed from a small atomiser, but it's definitely smoky and woody - I feel like the new Chelsea Morning from Lush could be an easier butterscotch sort of scent for anyone who is overwhelmed by sticky dates!

I want to get my hands on Sensuous Stars which has lavender, plum and orris I think which intrigues me. Loved your video as always! 😊

      glad you like the videos! I think that Estée Lauder is one of those houses that uses the sort of aroma chemicals that give me headaches - I’ve never found one that works for me!

    Interesting review. I love and admire your honesty :). The aroma chemicals, I have no idea what they are but I wonder if that is why I can't stand the expensive designer stuff likes of chanel, dior, I did have a sample of a perfume of narcissa or something fame, sprayed it in my room, and it made me feel quasy and gave me a headache and took hours for the smell to f off. It was revolting, I only payed a penny for the sample at superdrug but bleurgh same with Jimmy Choo's newest perfume.

      @@suzannesanderson there are some perfumes in the last few years that are just soooo synthetic that I'm sure I'm not the only person who is sensitive to them! Designer perfumes by (for instance) Paco Rabanne, Valentino & D&G are just a disaster for me

    I got a sample of this one recently and found it was just way too strong. I did test it on skin and only used a very small amount. It wasn’t *bad* per se, but too intense. I wouldn’t hate it on another person as long as they applied lightly and I didn’t have to stand next to them in a small small room for too long.

      @@dr.claire.perfume it’s funny that Still works for me, but admittedly only in warm weather or I find it too sharp - that’s probably Ambroxan! Tbh Ambroxan has been around since the 50s so it’s pro in tons of my perfumes but I seem to have a level where I just can’t deal with it. Man…. I’ve discovered some really interesting things since I started this channel, but I really should go to a perfumery class one day; try to identify the ingredients that I want to avoid 🤣

      @skinscentsforfusspots the thing with ambroxan is that there are so many related chemicals, I clearly dislike one or some of them, but not all. It's just I don't know exactly which is which, so for me, there "good ambroxan" and "bad ambroxan" but of course, that really doesn't accurately cover it.

    Could this be a fake? The cap looks like cheap plastic. My bottle's cap is heavy and has enamel spades. My bottle smells good. Nothing harsh.

    • @skinscentsforfusspots
      @skinscentsforfusspots 11 днів тому

      It’s the real deal! Notino don’t sell fakes and the 40ml bottles don’t have the metal on the caps, but the bigger bottles do! I hope I was very clear in the video that some of the more modern and trendy aroma chemicals smell terrible to me, but most people don’t have any issues with them. You’re one of the lucky people who smell this the way the perfumer intended you too 😉

    You speak Truth! The mass produced commercial perfumes are largely toxic chemicals. I am now sensetive to perfume from using a new release Paco Rabonne fragrance that was nothing but sweetened toxic chemicals. No different than bathroom cleaner on skin thet smelled sweet! Now i only wear clean fragrances and fragrances that minimum 50% natural. Some good brands are Korres, Lush, L'occitaine, Pacifica, One Seed, and & 7 Virtues.

      yeah something in perfumery changed in the mode 2000s and now the chemicals aren’t smelling like the notes they’re impersonating. it’s explains why I’m much more into 80s, 90s and early 2000s perfumes!

    I’m not even sure what aroma chemicals are I guess. I thought all perfumes used at least SOME chemicals to cause aromas. But I guess I’m missing some details.

    • @skinscentsforfusspots
      @skinscentsforfusspots 11 днів тому

      yes indeed almost all perfumes have aroma chemicals, ! They are often mixed with naturals too but things like Ambroxan have become fashionable and are used in much larger quantities nowadays, while naturals are used less. I’ve got like 300 perfumes that I love and only a handful, of those are mainly from natural compounds (hello lush and ånd fragrances!), but some companies use aroma chemicals that my nose just doesn’t recognise as perfume notes and the more I exposed to them, the worse they smell to me. Unfortunately for my nose and my channel, those are the trendy chemicals, so even the master perfumers use them. I’m in the minority of having a bad reaction to them! ‘Tis why my channel is has the word fusspots in it!

      @@skinscentsforfusspots I think that helped me start wrapping my head around it. Would these aroma chemicals be something that gives a brand a “DNA”? Like Lataffa (Lattafa?) fragrances all smell different, yet there’s a base that has the same “something” in them. Or my Oil Perfumery oils. Are there aroma chemicals that are of a higher grade than others? Thank you for taking the time to help break-it down for me BTW!
