    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 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! 😊

    • @TheSantaMaria1
      @TheSantaMaria1  11 місяців тому +1

      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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    @Puppylion715 11 місяців тому +1

    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)😢😢

    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.

      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.
