    Searching for H24 review and discover this channel, I loved H24 EDP so much but now in my country edp is not widely available, so trying to figure out if EDT can do the job or not.

    • @pixieandthenotes
      @pixieandthenotes 2 дні тому

      I think it will be a good replacement, although I definitely prefrred EDP, it's richer and denser. But apart from that, they basicilly tell the same story.

  • @etherealgirlpsychedelicnun884

    Nice review. Fun and quirky

  • @miles-178
    @miles-178 4 дні тому

    i´m gonna buy EDP (have sampled EDP) and lovin´it .. reminds me Angelique Noire/Spirituese Double Vanille by Guerlain ... hopefully EDT is not a big difference (when am not focusing on that , probably because of lighter longevity)

    I love this fragrance, it is so addictive and sensual. The more I wear it it gets better and better. I’ve discovered it recently. Also love and have Neroli Outrenoir and Angelique Noir. And then there’s Cuir Beluga, it’s on my wish list for cold days. Have you tried Cruel Gardenia?

    • @pixieandthenotes
      @pixieandthenotes 11 днів тому

      It's gorgeous! I briefly tried Neroli Outenoir, but I wasn't blown. I really enjoy Cuir Beluga, but unfortuntely it's giving me headaches :( When it comes to Angelique Noire, I really tried to love it, but there is something off in this fragrance to my nose. Unfortunately, I have never tried Cruel Gardenia, but I would like to one day. When it comes to this collection, I completely lost my mind for Rose Cherie.....I am completely obsessed!

    Another 13 jest ładny, ale bardzo drogi. Wszystkie Le Labo maja szalone ceny. Jak nazywa sie oryginalnie ta Polska kopia? Moze kiedys kupie jak bede miala okazje. Ja teraz testuje Mont Blanc Signature Absolue, i glowa mnie rozbolala i zastanawialam sie dlaczego...😂 Czasem lubimy bardzo perfumy, ale nasze glowy ich nie lubią😅😂

      Moim zdaniem "Air" od Kruk (tak, tej marki z biżuterią) pachną podobnie do Another 13. Ja musiałam pozbyć się kilku zapachów, które uwielbiałam, bo zawsze powodowały u mnie ból głowy (np. Oud Bouqet of Lancome Maison). Teraz mam już flakon Ormonde Woman i znalazłam sposób na ich noszenie, bez bólu głowy (psikam na dolną część pleców, hahhaha).

  • @helenaaro7017
    @helenaaro7017 21 день тому

    Your review is much more beautiful than Nomade EdP which I unwisely blind bought. I was sure I'd safe, because I loved or liked all its notes. I get no patchouli, oakmoss or amberwood, sadly. To me it was a straightforward cloying dose of raisins. I'll give it a full year, though. Maybe the sweetness turns more tolerable in cooler seasons.

    • @pixieandthenotes

    • @pixieandthenotes
      @pixieandthenotes Місяць тому

      I think that's extermely personal, i only get headaches from certain notes, I had to figure it out throug trial and error, for me white florals especially neroli, jasmine, tubersoe tend to make me headaches, as well as sharpr piercing oud scents. But I guess it's just my thing. Now I can use Woman withoud headaches, I simply have to apply it in very specific way. I spary it under my clothes on my lower back, as far from my nose as posssible.

    @mariemattsson824 Місяць тому

    I really enjoyed this one, as many others I especially enjoyed the "miss" part! :D I think between 20-30 mins videos mixed with shorter ones is just perfect. Sometimes you need a longer one to accompany you during lunch hour! My biggest hit this year was Nishane's Wulong Chá, a lovely citrus green tea scent that lasts the whole day. Some compare it to E Arden's green tea scent which I dont like because of emotional associations, but this is different..! Soo good. Biggest miss is probably Ganymede. Its captivating at first but it really overstays its welcome. Too strong, too overpowering and too... I don't know, it gives me claustrophobia in some way. Like Im locked inside a weird room or something... Anyways, keep up the good work, love your videos!

    • @pixieandthenotes
      @pixieandthenotes Місяць тому

      It seems everyone prefers the beefy part, hahah and I can totally relate. I really like watching such videos myself :) I am really curios of Wulong Cha, I see so many people loving it. I really like Ganymede, but I totally experience what you decsribed with L'air du desert Marrocain by Tauer. Thank you very much for watching and sharing your thoughts.

    W końcu Iga! Tylko dlaczego z takimi długimi przerwami? :D Buu TF Noir Extreme Parfum na minus ale co gorsze ogródek Hermesowy :D Uwielbiam je właśnie za tę realistyczną pistację z otwarcia - bardziej naturalną niż w znacznie droższych, "niszowych" perfumach np. Yum Pistachio od Kayali. Wstawka z Tysonem Furym złoto :DD I faktycznie pomimo, że gościa uwielbiam to złota sztaba pasuje do niego idealnie.

      Ave, ano na fabryce dużo roboty i nie było siły ani chęci na jutuby, hahah. Jeśli chodzi o pistację w perfumach, to zazwyczaj daje mi ona efekt popcoru albo psich lapek tudzież mysich skapetek i totalnie mi to nie leży. Co ciekawe piękną pistacją wybrzmiewa mi Je ne se Quoi od Teo Cabalel, w których pistacji nie ma, hahah.

    I did get the Millésime Iris, but I only have two other iris fragrances. It is incredibly smooth. I've had zero luck with anything new from Dior or Carner. JHAG Pear Inc was a big disappointment bc on me it had a mildew note.

    • @pixieandthenotes

    This was great. Not too long at all and you went through each one quickly. The biggest flops for me this year have been BDK 312 Saint Honore and Pas ce Soir Extrait. Both scrubbers. I also recently tried Gucci Memoire D'une Odeur and it smelled like ballons, like rubber.. made me sick! Wins that I’ve tried recently have been Houbligant Quenques Fleurs, Dusita Fleur de Lalita & Amouage Dia W.

    Lovely to see you again Iga!💜 The misses were my favourite. 😆 Moldy cheese and tomato sandwich. 🤣 Brilliant. I know what you mean about Noir Exteme parfum though. Luckily it goes more leathery on my skin so I'm a fan. But you've joined a long list of women who enjoy Spicebomb Extreme. 😄 I won't lie, although my tastes are more inclined towards the original and 1899, I still like how the vanilla was done in that fragrance. Balance is the key. Cheers!

I also discovered Bois Belize because of your video about it. You also made me curious about the no 5 Eau Premiere , but that wasn't quite my thing, it's too much vanilla in it.

    I grew up surrounded by the strong, pure scents of attars like vetiver, rose, sandalwood, jasmine, and kewra, so I've never been able to appreciate light fragrances. Over the last 20 years, I've tried many perfumes, but I was always searching for something I would want to own forever. Then, I encountered Tempo in a department store, sampled it, and promptly forgot its name. One fine day, I caught a whiff of something amazing but couldn't pinpoint where the intoxicating scent was coming from. It turned out to be emanating from the collar of my jacket. I spent the entire day racking my brain, trying to recall where and when I had tried it, given my extensive history of sampling perfumes. Eventually, I returned to the store, retracing my steps, and fortunately rediscovered this gem. I asked for a sample to confirm, and that's when I fell in love with it. Its drydown is the best; I even spray it on my forearms before bed so that my sheets also carry its scent. What a beautiful creation from Diptyque

The two strong fragrances that I can tolerate without headaches and I LOVE THEM are Sauvage And A men! AMen in my opinion is the most amazing fragrance ever honestly! The only 3 fragrances I use are Amen( winter and clubs) bleu de chanel ( summer or dates) and sauvage for every day every where ! Everytime I wear Amen , I get TONS of compliments

    You sort of remind me of Tabatha Coffey. Not by your looks, but by your style of talking and regal stature. But the similarities with your silhouette and haircut as well. 😃

      I will have to look her up, because I am not familiar with her. But I always find it very interesting to see to whom people compare me, because it kinda gives me a chance to see how I come accross, instead of how I woul like to come accross.

    Sorry I'm late to watch this video. I just subscribed so that won't happen again👍. Just wanted to let you know about another clone for Another 13...unless you already purchased Air. It's by Montagne Parfums based in New York - Another 14. 50ml for $40. I have both the OG & Another 14. Comparing them side by side I'd say about 90% similar. Both have great sillage & longevity. But when I press my nose to the skin I smell stronger iso E super with the OG. And I was actually tracked down by a female stranger in the market while wearing the clone! I wrote them both down for her. Hope this was helpful. Your videos are relaxing & helpful.

    I never got hooked on any Le Labo fragrances because after sampling it I came to conclusion that I don't want to pay a Nordstrom employee to mix perfume that I am paying half of my paycheck for. I don't mean any offense to retail workers, but I would like my fragrance to be prepared at the source where it originates from. Otherwise can I just buy Le Labo ingredients at Costco price and make my own mix? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

      That's a pretty valid point! They are ridiculosly overpriced!

    You are a hidden gem. I've watched too many fragrance reviewers, and I can say their non-biased descriptions made me understand fragrance completely differently. I've sampled Diptyque line and can say you are very good at translating the scent profile. Thank you!

      Thank you so much! These words mean a lot. Welcome on board! I would love to explore this brand more, because I still havent's sampled enough of their fragrances.

    There is coriander in EDP which I don't like. I can smell oregano, which is why I prefer EDT

    I just watched your Holy Grail from a year ago. Have you found yourself a HG iris yet? I hope you will try Iris Malikhân. Also, I wish your HG vanilla was still available.

      Hi, I don't think I could name my holy grail iris yet. I tried Iri Malighan, I really liked it, but it didn't wow me enough to get a bottle. Oh I wish Guerlin relesed Millesime Vanilla into a regular line.

    The sourness you mention I think is coming from the mango(unripe) that you say you can’t smell, so ACTUALLY you can! I only recently got a 5ml decant and am quickly falling in love with it. The first wearing, I didn’t like its dirtiness. On subsequent wearings, it feels really nicely balanced. The smoky, ever so slightly sweet, and dry warm tones feels like a good fit for my personality. As far as layering for a man, do you have any recommendations?

    • @pixieandthenotes
      @pixieandthenotes 3 місяці тому

      Timbuktu is amazing, indeed. The layering I recommended would be perfect for a man too. I would have to think. I o with something that has a bit of sour tone but also some sweetness.
