I love this idea! I once went to Nordstrom and about 10 years ago and SA said to me GET Shalimar Inital it is LE and once it’s gone it is gone, so OF COURSE I bought it! I am so happy I did but I’m glad they are bringing it back.
Mine would be the original Prescriptives Calyx, Shiseido’s Relaxing and Energizing perfumes, Moulinette Soeurs Arabelle, and an obscure, sweet, sugary yummy clementine perfume from Pier 1 Imports back in the 90’s of all things, that I have been trying to find a dupe for ever since.
My list would definitely include Guerlain Gourmand Coquin. It's such a staple in my collection and since it's been discontinued, I see bottles for sale now at $600-800...and people are buying them.
Yes! I love Gourmand Coquin! I think Juliana’s perfume has. Dupe of it which I am going to get at some point. I wish I had gotten a bottle of it before it was discontinued. 😭
What a beautiful collection!! Love, Chloe is a favorite of mine. Guerlain, My Insolence, sounds stunning. These older formulations, are so much richer, and last longer, I just bought a vintage, Samsara by Guerlain, I have the new formulation, it will be interesting to smell the difference. 💞😘💜
Hi Marybeth!! Someone sent me a big decant of Samsara from 1993. I have tested it against my edt. The original is much richer but it hasn’t been butchered thank goodness. If you have the edp I could love to hear how it compares. 🥰❤️🙏🏻
Yes, love this list!! I have 3 of them and would LOVE to have that Stella, for sure! I think these are all so amazing and worth treasuring! I also love your right hand rings and delicate diamonds today! Thanks, Sarah!❤️🌹
Have you tried Montale Roses Elixir? It's pretty similar to Miss Dior Cherie though I have heard the dua is also great too! I have a bottle of the original and roses elixir and they are very much sisters but I do love them both!
I miss the Fruity bombs from escada in the 90s 😄Fruity perfumes get a bad wrap but I could care less they were some of my favorites. 🥰 I wish I held on to my bottles of Ibiza Hippie, Sun Frutti, Chiffon Sorbet 😍🥝🍧🍊🍒.
I haven’t seen that saying written out as bad wrap before, it surprised me so I looked up the origin. It is actually ‘bad rap’ like a rap sheet, in reference to past criminal offenses, so it’s closer to meaning a bad reputation :)
For me it’s Miss Dior Cherie edp and edt, both versions, Balenciaga Paris L’essence, Exclamation, Stella Rose Absolute, Lancôme Mille et une Roses, Chloe Love, insolence eclat, my childhood Avon frangía ces Pretty Peach and Little Blossom, Victoria Secret Rapture, the perfume, not the waterdown version they pulled towards the end
They are discontinuing French Kiss 😌 I have not tried My Insolence yet, but I wore French Kiss and Insolence EDP on each wrist and the only difference is in the dry down French kiss raspberry is more gourmand/edible smelling. Other than that, can't tell them apart.
I got bummed out on Hypnotic Poison back in the day. I completely remember its campaign back in the 90s. Oh how ahead of it's time it was!!! But it's one of those scents where you spray it one too many times, you don't wear IT it wears YOU. It became too much for me XD
Hi there! Mine is more of a spiced Tonka fragrance and o really don’t smell the jasmine at all. My bottle is old though so the Jasmine could be mostly gone. It smells a lot like the new one to me but somehow spiced. I could see someone having that experience though for sure. 🥰❤️
I recall when Guerlain Shalimar Parfum Initiale came out and the fragrance community so hated it. Well, I absolutely LOVED it and I'm a diehard Shalimar vintage lover too. This is Shalimar with major iris and it's beautiful!
Youth Dew is my favorite perfume of all time. 🥰 So it would have to be top in the list. I would absolutely need Dior Pure Poison preferably the early formulation with the white cap!! Perfection!! Pacifica's Lotus Garden and Malibu Lemon Blossom as I have never smelled anything like those 2 scents and I hate that they are so difficult to find. 😶 A La Nuit, Douce Amere, Miracle, Womanity, and Bella Freud.
I loved Sensi by Armani and Revlon Xia Xiang. Midnight poison was amazing. I wont that specific Shalimar Initiale years ago on fragrantica but gave it away.
I wore hypnotic poison edt yesterday. Smelled it all day. To me it smells like play doh and root beer. Its a weird one, but its ok. 😁 its a very unique scent.
So I have a bottle of midnight poison and it is my favourite fragrance of all time. Don't waste your time on Elle. I just got it and while it is a beautiful fragrance it doesn't smell like midnight poison to me. DUA version and the oil perfumery version on the other hand are very close - although not 100%
My fantasy list includes scents I do have and do not have...but the ones I don't have...I have had in the past....Does that make sense...???..lol.....1. Guerlain Parure (do not have).....2. Ralph Lauren Tuxedo (do not have) 3. Jean Patou Pour un Homme (have) 4. Fendi Fendi (have) 5. Fendi Uomo (have) 6. Nino Cerruti Original. Homme..(don't have) 7. Guerlain Parfum Initial (have) 8. Dior Midnight Poison (don't have) 9. YSL Opium (original form) (have) 10. Mugler A*Men Pure Leather (have). Of course...lol...I need a list greater than 10.......;-) Love your list Sarah !!! xoxo
@@SarahMayes Thanks Sarah !! I just got a big haul delivered today !!! (my LAST of the year !) ha ! I finally bought 6 Dossier clones, got YSL Y Parfum (men's), my full bottle of Commodity Milk and the discovery set (milk,paper,book,velvet), Ted Lapidus Oud Noir, Ted Lapidus Black Soul Imperial,CK Obsessed Intense (men's AND women's). HOWEVER......I woke up with a COLD this morning...@#$%!...lol.....so I will NOT be testing anything for a few days ...due to my current nasal condition...lol....Talk about "torture" !!! Have a great weekend !! xoxo

Thank you so much!! 🥰❤️

I sold My Insolence before a big move several years ago and I regret it SO much! Fantastic list! Thanks for posting xo

Yes Sarah!! This is the one I wanted to see!!
Thank you so much for recommending it! 🥰❤️🙏🏻
I’m so glad you got the Stella Rose Absolute, my friend 💕🤗☮️🤷🏻♀️
Yay!! Me to Love!! 🥰❤️🙏🏻😘
Sounds great Sarah!

They're in a different mind frame

My heart is broken over the mishandling of Hypnotic Poison, it was perfection and it makes no sense way they changed it.
I totally agree! 😭
Yes, love this list!! I have 3 of them and would LOVE to have that Stella, for sure! I think these are all so amazing and worth treasuring! I also love your right hand rings and delicate diamonds today! Thanks, Sarah!❤️🌹
Thank you so much Julie!! 🥰❤️🙏🏻😘
I love this fantasy list!
Thank you so much!! 🥰❤️🙏🏻

I tested Roses Elixir on my hand and I loved it. It’s on my wish list. 🥰❤️🙏🏻
Dana from “A nose knows”’ says Tonka In fragrances preserves them so that would explain Dior Addict’s longevity in the bottle
I much prefer the vintage Dior Addict but definitely couldn't live without Addict in general. Def a top 10 for life.

I miss them too! The new stuff is just not the same. I miss the 90’s in general though! 🥰❤️🙏🏻
For me it’s Miss Dior Cherie edp and edt, both versions, Balenciaga Paris L’essence, Exclamation, Stella Rose Absolute, Lancôme Mille et une Roses, Chloe Love, insolence eclat, my childhood Avon frangía ces Pretty Peach and Little Blossom, Victoria Secret Rapture, the perfume, not the waterdown version they pulled towards the end

I have Si le parfum, cuz i luv black currant. It is a great one. 👍
I like the new Formula for Dior Addict. I remember the old one to be idolic and smelled like bad breath on my skin. That Jasmine. Lol. Do you agree?

I only have the miss dior edp 2017 version which is now being discontinued. Love that one :)
I really love that one too! I will need to get my hands on a a bottle before it disappears. 😭
Sarah’s name should be Stella !!!! She loves her Stella fragrances
😂😂😭
This is such a fun idea for a video
It is!! 🥰❤️🙏🏻😘

Sigh. essence no. 10 amande tonka by elie saab has been on my radar to snag if I can EVER find it again.
Me too!! I have been wanting that one. It’s almost impossible to find though. 😭
@@SarahMayes I’ve seen it for around $300 a couple of times and embarrassingly I was tempted haha.
Fragranza? Is supposed to have a good dupe of Cherie
Thank you so much for letting me know! I will check it out. ❤️
🥰
🥰🥰🥰
Lovely review and perfums only most of these perfums stink in my nose
