For real! The other cherries I’ve tried didn’t do it for me, even sold my 50ml Kayali lovefest burning cherry. No cherry fragrance will ever compare to Tom ford lost cherry, I’m waiting to get the 100ml on a good discount from maxaroma.
But not until you try "Miss Girl" by Oakcha. They are the Queen/King of dupes! They did a dupe of Lost Cherry and BR 540 fusion....WONDERFUL AND A BEAST!
I stopped in Sephora last week to put my nose to some of these new releases and I was sorely disappointed. I was hoping to love the new Libre because I have the others in that line but I agree that it smelled a little too chemically for me. I wasn’t blown away by the D&G Devotion either. She’s cute but I don’t think I need her unless I find a really great deal. I’m also not blown away by Burberry Goddess. I did buy the travel size though so I can play with it. It’s just a little too soft for me. Maybe after it sits for a while I’ll change my mind. I do LOVE the new Alien Goddess Florale! But I’m a lot biased to that whole line because for some reason I get compliments galore when I wear any of them. I need to get my nose on that new Givenchy. I didn’t even know about it but I have the original and the Rouge and love them both. You sold me when you said it had Cacao! These companies are rolling these fragrances out so fast that they’re missing the mark with a lot of them. I guess that just helps me to focus on buying all of the fragrances that I already have on my list anyway 😆. I have plenty to catch up on. Great video! 😊
Glad you did a store walk through to smell them for yourself. I agree with the Alien Goddess line being a major compliment getter. Yes, try thee new Ultime. Hahahah yes focus on the wishlist.
Great review ! I agree 100% Carmina is just ok but I did purchase it no big deal. Althair is amazing got it when it debuted. Devotion is just nice it smells like a lemon pound cake . Purchased that too. I’m in love with prada paradox intense due to your dedicated review once again you were on point and I luv it.
Bought Althaïr for hubby so we can share it! Completely agree with you on Creed Carmina…it was nice but I wasn’t moved. I didn’t connect with Burberry Goddess but love D&G Devotion.
I agree with you on almost all I have tried. Burberry was a love at first sniff that keeps growing on me as I wear it. Devotion was a hard pass. Sickly sweet, synthetic citrus fruit. Yes, much better as a candle and even then I probably would not purchase it. Carmina was a scrubber for me and I expected to love it as I like rose and cherry. The very strong rose combined with the very tart/sweet, candied cherry was WAY too much. So glad I sampled that first! I really like Cherry Ambition and the performance is excellent on me. Cafe Rose I really liked the start of but it dried down with an old woman type musky scent on my skin and ended up being a hard no. I agree the Jo Malone is really good but I have ones I like better and to purchase another I would have to be totally wowed. J’dore Lor was very underwhelming and headache inducing. I think it was orange blossom that was too much in that. I want to try paradoxe!
You’re always spot on! I agree with most of your thoughts and opinions, except for D&G Devotion. It smells so good to me, but that’s the beauty of fragrance. It’s so subjective. Thanks for sharing as always.
Hi Santa! I wore D&G Devotion this weekend layered with Alexandria Fragrances Chocolate Dream (a dupe for Xerjoff Lira). Yes, I got wafts of lemon pound cake, but not a candle scent in my opinion. I really enjoyed it! I love a spicy and good smelling rose fragrance, and I agree that TF Cafe Rose ain’t it. I definitely didn’t get any coffee. I’m looking forward to purchasing Althair!! - Ms. Charlette
Girl you don’t feel like cherry ambition smells like cherry smoke from Tom ford?? I love it because of that smell… and I mix it with baccarat 540 lotion and lattafa Oud mood and it’s amazing!! Ijs
Burberry goddess is sadly trash… who endorsed it? It was unnecessary to make I got it free otherwise I wouldn’t have it… I’m hoping something develops with it by next summer smh 🤷🏽♀️
I haven't smelled Devotion,or Burberry Godess. I don't think I'm interested based on your review. I've blind bought quite a few fragrances based on your review and I loved them. So I will skip those. The new Libre, I will buy as a gift for my BFF, she loves those sterile smelling perfumes. I will go smell Carmina this weekend, but it is out of my price range.
Love love love ya! I just smelled and sprayed Devotion on one arm and Goddess on the other arm yesterday and I think I like them. Goddess smells familiar 🤔but I like it and for Devotion…I’m undecided…I think it smells interesting but I didn’t get lemon poundcake…I liked it more and more as it dried down, but not the initial spray (I’ll probably get travel sizes to try them out). As for Carmina, my mom and I smelled and sprayed it on ourselves when we went to Nordstrom‘s, and I have to say, I really like it! From the one little spray that we were given, it last a good amount. It smells so good on both of us… But with the mixed review, I don’t know if I can bring myself to pay so much money for just one perfume that doesn’t last long (I like getting the best bang for my buck, but I really do like it. I wish they had a travel size so you could really try it). I don’t go to Nordstrom‘s often, but do you know if they have sales like how Macy’s has their friends and family sale? Sorry if I’m asking a dumb question, I’m brand new to higher end fragrances (I normally buy my fragrances at Macys, Ulta or Sephora)😢😢
Thank you for sharing. Yes Nordstrom has fragrance sales. They are currently price matching the sale at macys at the moment. Welcome to higher end fragrance shopping! It is addicitve lol.
I agree with your opinion on the scents I’ve smelled, Jadore, Paradoxe and Libre, I don’t need. I was surprised about your opinion on Devotion. I really like the citrus and orange blossom notes! I also Violet by D&G, it was really nice if you like the violet note. Great impressions! Thanks for sharing!
I don’t have any cherry fragrances so I’m glad I pulled the trigger and chose to pick up a travel size of Cherry Ambition in my VIB order, my curiosity has peaked even more now after hearing your thoughts on it since we have very similar taste, I am also not a full spicy or gourmand girl 🙋🏻♀️ we shall see what the scent brings to my nose 😜
I have the original 2012 Cafe Rose in the purple label and it is divine. It’s my first perfume ever and will always hold a special place in my heart. The OG is the best and I hope you’re able to obtain it. Great video! 😊
I felt the exact same about Carmina. I was expecting to be wowed when I went to smell it in Harrods from all the reviews I’d seen but it was nothing special to me
I got Carmina for 20% off from Saks. At first I felt underwhelmed by it. I wore it three days in a row thinking discount or not I was gonna have to return it. I started layering in with a rose and saffron body lotion and it really made the difference. I started getting compliments (about five from what I remember). It’s one of those fragrance you have to play with, but I get it when you paying almost $500 who has time to play. I love it now though.
I got my hands on a sample of Carmina and is OK but not worth the price they are asking in my opinion. I am curious to try Room 1015 Cherry Punk Extrait... sounds interesting💗
Cherry Punk Extrait is VERY VERY STRONG. Dark and more leather. If you have the OG Cherry Punk you don't need it. But if you don't, get it. But it is completely different than Carmina. I have Carmina and that's not a power play. It's a womanly fragrance.
Oh I love the D&G Devotion. I work at Sephora part time and it’s one of the ones that I spray on clients and have them walk around a bit cause the first blast is that lemon candy but the dry down? Oh, the vanilla is so good to me. I HATE the bottle tho.
I can definitely see why you mightn’t like Devotion if you aren’t a gourmand girly. My hubby is getting me Goddess for Christmas, so I’ve been wearing Devotion in the mean time. Also excited for Paradoxe Intense. It’s one of the next on my list!
I really wish we could move on from cherry as a society 😂😂😂 It’s not even special or exciting anymore!!!
For real! The other cherries I’ve tried didn’t do it for me, even sold my 50ml Kayali lovefest burning cherry. No cherry fragrance will ever compare to Tom ford lost cherry, I’m waiting to get the 100ml on a good discount from maxaroma.
I agree. We do not need a million cherry fragrances.
Facts! 😅
But not until you try "Miss Girl" by Oakcha. They are the Queen/King of dupes! They did a dupe of Lost Cherry and BR 540 fusion....WONDERFUL AND A BEAST!
Yes!!! Lost Cherry and BR 540 inspiration fused together! I get so many compliments
Althaïr is amazing! Ladies don’t shy away from this one. It’s a gorgeous fall vanilla. 🧡
Yup indeed.
Burberry Goddess is such an easy reach and perfect for this time of year since we don’t know what the weather is giving from day to day 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Facts!
Ohhhh I blind bought devotion in the VIB sale…. 😬 but I do love gourmands so hopefully I like it. Great video. ❤
If you are a gourmand person, you should be fine. Thank you!
I don't like Devotion either. It smells weird. Its a weird orange lemon sweetness and not in a good way
hahaha thanks for sharing
I stopped in Sephora last week to put my nose to some of these new releases and I was sorely disappointed.

Lawd they are wearing Libre to the ground with the flankers. Truth is I'm tired!
I actually agree with this take lol
Great review ! I agree 100% Carmina is just ok but I did purchase it no big deal. Althair is amazing got it when it debuted. Devotion is just nice it smells like a lemon pound cake . Purchased that too. I’m in love with prada paradox intense due to your dedicated review once again you were on point and I luv it.
Awww I'm loving Devotion but it is definitely in gourmand territory. Thanks for sharing your impressions of Carmina and Althair. Super helpful. 👍👍👍
Im glad you love devotion. I can't get into it and ive smelled it multiple times.
Bought Althaïr for hubby so we can share it! Completely agree with you on Creed Carmina…it was nice but I wasn’t moved. I didn’t connect with Burberry Goddess but love D&G Devotion.
This was smart! lol Thanks for sharing your experiences.

I agree.. cherry ambition does smell like lovefest burning cherry.. I do Iike them both. Great first impressions!!😊
Yup so similar in smell
Yes you MUST get that PDM Althair! I have it and I can’t stop reaching for it! I love love love it!
I just got this on vacation and absolutely love it! My only regret, not getting the bigger bottle
@@chelseyriddell5236My only regret too!
It's a like indeed!
You’re always spot on! I agree with most of your thoughts and opinions, except for D&G Devotion. It smells so good to me, but that’s the beauty of fragrance. It’s so subjective. Thanks for sharing as always.
Thank you. Glad Devotion works for you. Yes fragrance is indeed subjective.

Althair is such a beautiful vanilla fragrance! Orange blossom is the new cherry… I’m over it lol
hahahahha
Jadore L'Or is absolutely stunning! I also love the original. Lasts forever too!
Glad you love it!
Thank you for sharing about the Cherry Ambition...I don't think I need another Cherry fragrance
You are so welcome!
Hi Santa - thank you for always keeping us in the know! Just ordered the Jo Malone Ginger Biscuit - any thoughts??
Haven’t smelled it yet. I’m hearing it doesn’t last no time at all so I’m not excited to try it .
Will you be doing a review on Amourous Intense??
Sorry I do not have it
You’re bringing a very lovely purple Autumn look. 💜🍁
Thank you for the kind words
Devotion smells like Froot Loops to the 10th power. Too damn sweet.
😂😂😂
Girl you don’t feel like cherry ambition smells like cherry smoke from Tom ford?? I love it because of that smell… and I mix it with baccarat 540 lotion and lattafa Oud mood and it’s amazing!! Ijs

Carmina--waammmpp! 😂a good alternative is Mind Games French Defense. I wouldn't encourage full price for either. Lol.
Thanks for sharing.

Loved your review and HONESTY!. It's rare. Everybody trying to get a dollar and honestly that shit be stank! New Subbie.
Thanks for sharing. Welcome new elf!
Carmina, I will admit the guys at my job...love it, but I have to agree...it's nice, but it's pricey
That's nice that Carmina gets compliments.
Leave it to this Sis give us the real on Creed Carmina! Thank you!!!! They out here just dying for it...whatever! Lol
😂😂😂😂 Just sharing my thoughts on it.
Santa?! Cleaning product for libre platine😩😭😂 I got it for my bday in September and been wearing it to work non-stop lol
im just sharing what the new libre gave to me lol. Im glad it works for you though!
I agree with your opinion on the scents I’ve smelled, Jadore, Paradoxe and Libre, I don’t need. I was surprised about your opinion on Devotion. I really like the citrus and orange blossom notes! I also Violet by D&G, it was really nice if you like the violet note. Great impressions! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the co-sign. Thank you for watching as always

Since you do not have any cherry fragrances, you should be fine. haha I hope you enjoy!
💯🎯🥰
Thank you
Thank you so much for all the reviews and I am so happy I bought samples but Carmina did not do it for me either!!! Now back to the video.
You are so welcome!
I got a free sample of the Sliver YSL and its giving bathroom cleaner vibes... It's a no for me.
Yup I agree.
🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Thank you for watching
I have the original 2012 Cafe Rose in the purple label and it is divine. It’s my first perfume ever and will always hold a special place in my heart. The OG is the best and I hope you’re able to obtain it. Great video! 😊
Right! See you got the good one!
Hi, I like alien goddess supra florale too. I try Devotion multiple times and no, I don't feel it too.
Hi there. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Love devotion!❤I think Burbury goddess is nice but it gives me a headache every time I wear it.. so I have to pass😂
haha oh no to the headache. Thanks for sharing.
My go to cherry has been Guerlain's Cherry Oud. Love, love, love!
I sampled it and its fantastic indeed!
I have a sample of Prada Paradoxe intense...I think I will use it tomorrow
yay for a sample!
I love the new Dior ja’dore.. but don’t overspray..I find I don’t need to.. I love the honey in it.
Glad you love it.
I agree. I enjoyed Carmina but it was like not a love. Smelt like rose water.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I felt the exact same about Carmina. I was expecting to be wowed when I went to smell it in Harrods from all the reviews I’d seen but it was nothing special to me
It was just ok. It did not change lives like people have said
The New Cafe Rose, was a no ma'am for me as well
Yeah it's bad
Yes ma'am Devotion is definitely food like....I have to admit I like it 😂😂😂
hhahaha
Totally agree about Devotion, I get some type of lemon cleaner or house fragrance. Definitely not getting that one!
hahaha thanks for sharing.
The New Libre, was a no ma'am for me
It's not giving at all.
Your deception on Devotion was spot. I can’t get with too sweet scents. Thanks for sharing
hahaha I just tell it like I experience it.
Althair, I'm definitely getting it...once I come off my no buy
It is lovely!
I surly want an eyeshadow tutorial. How u put that glitter your your corners
Thanks for asking.
Sis where are the weekly candle burn reviews? I miss them.
Candle content is in the works. Stay tuned to the channel :-)
They sell the original Cafe rose on scent split.
Thanks for sharing

I love Carmina. It's a grown up rose/cherry. It's my going out fragrance.
Glad you got Carmina at a discount and it worked out.

@@kuklakid Thanks…you just saved me some coins….I do have the original so I will skip the extrait ❤️
I love and appreciate the honesty.
You are so welcome!
Hey Santa, let's see what you got
Hi Latonya!
Althair is right on point on skin!
Very True!
Thanks for sharing 😇
You are welcome!
Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome.
Thank you
Thank you for watching.
Hey Santa!! ❤❤
Hi there!
Oh I love the D&G Devotion. I work at Sephora part time and it’s one of the ones that I spray on clients and have them walk around a bit cause the first blast is that lemon candy but the dry down? Oh, the vanilla is so good to me. I HATE the bottle tho.
Thanks for sharing.
i just got devotion! so good. i need prada intense next. thats about it.
Thanks for sharing
I can definitely see why you mightn’t like Devotion if you aren’t a gourmand girly. My hubby is getting me Goddess for Christmas, so I’ve been wearing Devotion in the mean time.
Also excited for Paradoxe Intense. It’s one of the next on my list!
hahaha yes Devotion is definitely for the gourmand girlies. Yay Goddess! It's a great gift. Im still shocked about Prada Paradoxe Intense.
If you put Devotion on your skin you might change your mind because the dry down is absolutely gorgeous. The opening smell is not the greatest though
As stated in the video, I don’t like it. Glad it works for you though.
