Oh my gracious! You have the BEST taste in fragrances! I went and bought Miami Glow, Gold Rush, Still, CK In2U, Rogue and Guess Seductive Noir all after watching your videos and they all smell SOOOO GOOD!! Thank you so much for your videos and top notch recommendations! :)
ohhh video idea: could you possibly do a top 10 for like... different popular notes? so like, top 10 vanilla scents; top 10 almond scents; top 10 scents with bright vibrant fruits vs darker, spicier/bitter ones, marshmellow scents, etc I hope this makes sense!!
Yesss, I just blind bought ck in2u,.. it's definitely citrusy,.. after watching this video again, I didn't give it a chance to smell the dry down. I will go check it out again. I gave it to my daughter. I liked ok,.. just not ALOT but not upset that I bought it bc of the price, still nice to have in your collection 😀 😊
I just bought almost every one of these! I hope you do one of these videos again/every so often! I appreciate your opinion and attention to detail when you explain them! Also, as others have already said, thank you for recommending ACTUAL affordable options!! :)
@@arianaraquel1958 it's very much like "swimming" is the best word. I think that's the only place I personally will wear this. Ksenja loooves Miami glow and so does her husband. I just blind bought it also. I do like it. I'm not upset I bought it bc of the price,.. but it's definitely summery and my daughter described it as sunscreen,.. (she's NOT a perfume girl at all btw) it's ok to have in your collection, just not my say top 10
i bought the guess seductive noir and trust me i was not disappointed it just smells out of this world and performs so much better than my high end expensive ones it smells so expensive thank you for putting me on this beautiful scent definetly recommend it 10 out of 10 😍
How refreshing to hear about low price colognes/perfumes. I searched for this very topic after listening to all the pricey designer reviewers. I subscribed.
I like the way you include almost all types of fragrances that people love the most like clean, fresh, sweet, gourmand, leathery and patchouli types... Means this video is for everyone who wants to buy their kind but with affordable price tag... (Sarah Meyes do like the Believe from Britney Spears perfume range) ... Thank you girl❤️
I did a blind buy of CK In2u because of this video and omfg. Absolutely amazingly delicious 😍 I got it at TJ Maxx for 14 bucks and I almost screamed when I saw it lol. I was so excited 🤣
Young lady.. this is my first time I watch one of your video. You are so well spoken. You seem very mature. I will watch you for now on. Thank you for all the tips.
I am so impressed with your knowledge and ability to articulate the notes and vibes of these various fragrances! I mean - you do such a great job breaking these fragrances down! I don't know how old you are (and I'm not asking) but, you look like a baby...I mean that in a good way. So, keep up the great work hon! You are going to become a 'loud' voice in the fragrance community...xoxo
girl I remember when I followed you, you had like 700 subs and I'm seeing you growing every time you upload so much. You definitely deserve more subscribers and views!
Omg just seen guess seductive today, went right back to T.J.Maxx after your review!! Mon Guerlain is my fav!!!! Update: omg I love it, I would say 99.5% dupe of mon Guerlain. Glad I bought the two they had hahahha
I have most of these and they are good picks. I would add 1. Elizabeth Arden- Always Red Femme 2. KKW- Pure Honey, 3. Jessica Simpson- Fancy Love, 4.Sofia Vergara- Love , 5. Rihanna-Kiss and 6. DKNY- Stories
I went out and purchased a bottle of Ck in2u and It is so lovely. It has to be one of my favorites now. I have been purchasing perfumes for over 40 years and you taught me something new. Thank you for your honesty.
CK Into U for her is one of my fav since 2009 I have used at least 10 bottles . I have a huge collection so using 10 bottles is not easy unless this is a Go to . Living in hot country in the Middle East this is besttttt …
I doubted you…I doubted you and I’m so sorry that I did. I’ve seen CK IN2U in stores and passed it by so many times because citrusy scents don’t appeal to me. And I almost passed it up again, but I feel like we have similar scent profiles and I thought, “no, Ksenja said it’s good so I’m just going to trust her and get it.” I even wasn’t sure I liked it the fist spray but by the end of the night, I was obsessed. I also bought Banana Republic Dark Cherry & Amber, which I can’t wait to wear when it’s not hot af. And I’m on the prowl for that Guess Seductive Noir. I love your videos ❤️
I love that you brought up Believe! I feel it is so underrated! It is way above her other fragrances when it comes to a more sophisticated scent vs her other fragrances! I love it!
YES, Still by JLo is absolutely amazing!!! I never liked her scents before and when I got that one, I was extremely surprised. I was photographing it just yesterday to feature it on my Instagram. I never hear anyone talk about it and I'm so glad you mentioned it.
I think Rhiana has some of the best celebrity perfumes which I usually do not care for. Also they smell expensive and they are all affordable. Rebel fleur is expensive smelling and has a long lasting power.
GIRL I JUST GOT CK IN2U AND LOVE IT. I remember seeing it in the clearance shelve at tj maxx but passed it up after watching this I went back and got it for only 12$ and I’m in love I’m not a fresh sent person but this dry down is everything! It’s so warm like a warm vanilla lemon tea if that makes any sense xD it’s still kinda cool where I live but can’t wait to wear when it warms up
The comparison of vanilla lemon tea has me completely SOLD. This is exactly what I needed to hear. I didn't want another citrus fragrance freshie bore so I stayed away from IN2U. However now I'm for sure copping.
The older formulation of Britney's Believe smells far more expensive (the one with that metal plate at the top just like in it's advert pic) it has a lots of patchouli... the new/current formula has a bit more toned down patchouli & a bit more on the fruits. But it still smells superb & expensive that what it cost. Smells delicious, strong & very long lasting. My most fav Britney's pfumes ever (Hidden Fantasy is my 2nd fav). Like you said, almost no one talk about it maybe cuz it's one of most people least fav from her pfumes line...
CK IN2U is my first bonafide perfume in years. I was always using BBW body sprays, and I wanted a “real perfume” for a change. I saw this where I worked (Winners) and I did some research on it. Decided to take a chance because I saw pink grapefruit and I LOVE citrus scents, vanilla second. I wasn’t disappointed 😊
I have bought and loved this perfume(CK In2U) for years!!! I have gone through so many bottles. I completely agree that its the cheapest but most expensive smelling perfumes. I love my Alien, Angels Share, BR540, Aventus and all the other pricey ones and in between as well, but THIS one is still one of my favorites!! If it would last like the more expensive ones, I would definitely wear it more, but It's cheap enough that you can just reapply and freshen it up if you arent smelling it anymore. I love love love this fragrance and i cant believe how cheap it is.
One of my absolute favourite perfumes of all time is Miami Glow and i also love Still, so id say that we both have the same taste in perfume... In saying that you need to get a perfume called Tocade by Rochas (That's if u dont already have it) I have loved this perfume for forever , I can not live without it, (its one of my signature scents) I have never smelt anything close to it, It is trully STUNNING It is so affordable, everytime i wear it i get stopped by numerous women and men telling me that i smell divine, a little goes an extremely long way, you can still smell it on your clothes until they are washed, It is straight from Heaven, if u have it or you get it and you love it please let me know, And whoever said that Miami Glow smells cheap does not have a clue (LOL) LOVE LOVE LOVE
The banana republic dark cherry and amber smells Amazing!!!! Just wished it lasted longer but thinking about pairing it with black cherry merlot from BBW to help but I don't mind reapplying.
@@AAA-ys9jv it lasts on my skin for 5hrs,, people can still smell it from me, I couldn’t smell myself anymore on that 5hr range,but people around me can still smell it, with the price, no complaint..
I bought a bottle after watching the video. It is really the perfect perfume I have ever played. Although the ingredients are very simple, it is really perfect.
Its one of my favorites. If you find you're not getting the lasting power. Spray your body with an oil and then apply the perfume. Its a winner every time.
Okay im back for update from blind buys from your video. I bought CKN2U Brittney Spears Believe Guess Seductive and Miami Glow. Thank you!! These scents are really good! My current budget buys are ellen tracey courageous pink sugar and fancy🔥🔥🔥
You have to try Banana republic tobacco and tonka bean (Burlington has it all the time and it’s way sweeter than it sounds). Smells a lot like rich warm and addictive from Zara but more feminine. It’s so good! Also marshals and T.J. Maxx sometimes has the banana republic Rosewood AMOR ($20) which is a closer dupe to Baccarat rouge in my opinion because it also has that medicinal smell like baccarat rouge. Have you tried that one?
Girrrrllll there are sooooo many hidden gems! I’m obsessed! You should check our Paradiso Assoluto by Roberto Cavalli. Trussardi Donna. Indi by Katy Perry. Fancy Love by Jessica Simpson. Always Red by Elizabeth Arden. Fatale Intense by Agent Provocateur.
I just bought Yara by Lattafa. It was around $22… close to your cut-off! It isn’t extraordinary, but it’s soft and sweet… powdery with vanilla and a little caramel. I would definitely recommend it!
I just purchased the Rihanna Rouge and I purchased it as a blind buy and I’m stuck on the fences about it but I loved the Gucci rush back in the day. I also was surprised that I like the juicy culture i received it as a gift.
Britney Believe is my GO TO! I’ve had at least 9 bottles I buy it every year. I wore it to work one day and a coworker told me that she don’t usually like perfume but I smelled lovely and she enjoys the smell.
I’m a new perfume collector. I went to Macy’s and tested fragrances with my cousin . Like they gave me the coffee and I was still not sure about scents. The sales lady kept giving me testers to smell diffent scents . I purchased two small $30 Spray perfumes and when I got home I felt like I still didn’t like Marc Jacobs daisy eau so fresh. I’m making myself like it. Thanks for sharing. Im definitely not a big bottle perfume buyer.
@@foredimples529 I’m one of those people who really doesn’t like to return things. Like I’ll exchange most of the time. I dont feel like going back to the mall😩.I have some fragrances for b&bw sas just (2) that I didn’t like I need to hurry up and go exchange😩. I don’t know if I feel like returning the fragrance. I’ll just keep mixing it with little blk party dress from b&bw it’s a small size like roller ball size but a spray so i can use it up fast.
Don't force yourself into a hobby that may not work for your sense of self. Some of us have noses that are easy to please, and some of us have noses that are hyper-selective about smells. You probably may not like certain perfume scents bc of the alcohol content and probably can't truly experience the full-rounded scent, since you can't smell a dry-down until anywhere from 15 min to an hour/several hours later. Plus, smelling fragrances from a bottle or from a blotter give a completely different experience than wearing them on yourself, mixed with your skin chemistry. But we don't have the luxury of testing certain perfumes to get their full effect. So I think you need to ask yourself what scents in the past have you been drawn to? Were they clean/fresh, aquatic, ozonic, aldehydic, lactonic, gourmand, salty, fruity, floral, powdery, herbal, earthy, spicy, oriental? Figure out what happy scent memories you have to determine your personal taste. For ex. beach vacations, walks in the park or in a field, favorite desserts/snacks, favorite shampoos or body wash, favorite candles, mall smells, work smells, comfy home smells, etc. See if you can find a unifying thread of different scents that appeal to you and use these notes as a guide to determine what you like in a perfume.
@@YourMajesty143 I ended up really liking Marc Jacobs eau so fresh. I’m definitely a Gormand lover, also floral and some woody. My favorite scent notes are rose, magnolia, apple, oakmoss, honeysuckle . But I like trying out different scents to see what I like . I still didn’t end up liking Michael kors wonderlust but it’s just a small travel spray. It was the way I was spraying Marc Jacobs too. I was spraying it way to close. I notice with some of my fragrances and mists they smell much better when I spray them from a distance. But I want to make sure the scent gets on me sometimes and I’ll spray to close and it’s too much and it won’t smell right.
brought guess be seductive noir after watching this video last week and tryed it.. It smells sooo pleasant and delicious everything thing u described about this scent including the price quality it smells like a verrry high end perfume very warm spicy decadent sent 🖤🍂✨
Girl I recommend Believe to everyone who doesn't have have it on their fragrantica shelf. I absolutely love it. I could bathe in it. I have 2 full size backups. It lasts forever too.
Well done! You got me at cheap/frugal. Next time, please make mention of the lasting power. That also helps us to make the decision on what to buy. Thanks!
I've been wearing Tommy Girl since I was a teen. It works great with my chemistry and I get the most compliments. I wish it came in an EDP and not just EDT
Not criticizing because you put the name of the fragrances like above it when you’re talking about it because it’s very hard to see the bottles and it goes past what it is thank you so much
I feel like you have mentioned that you are not a fan of Fancy by Jessica Simpson. I tend to like scents you mentioned so I feel like you would like that one too if you haven’t tried it! I absolutely love sweet creamy scents too but I actually do love fresh scents. I just feel like Fancy is cheap but smells so delicious and sweet but fresh! Anyway just curious if you have tried that one!
She did actually try it and think she might still owns it. I keep hearing it’s good so I might find it for $15 at Burlington or Marshall’s. At least you can return it if you don’t like it
I just love the way you explain how the scents smell !! If I'm on edge about anything I haven't smelled yet, I make sure I search for it on your channel and add it to my list
I used to wear the original Paris Hilton perfume, I think it’s in a black and pink bottle. I think it’s like 20 ish dollars for 3,4 Oz. I loved it in high school, but, as I got older it was too sweet smelling. Now I only wear Cloud ☁️💜
CKin2U for her gave me nostalgia vibes! I wore that as a signature scent in my teens in high school. I need to refresh my nose to this cause I really liked it. I also loved Hugo Boss deep red. Try it! It’s seriously so good!
Also Maxaroma has this gorgeous perfume called lanvin eclat for $40. It’s a sweet sparkly perfume my mother and I have been wearing for 15 years, the just is PURPLE it’s such an adorable bottle and you get 3.4 fluid ounces. I think it normally goes from 80-100
Juicy Couture "Couture Couture " is my absolute favorite!!!! I freaking LOVE IT!! I love the Honeysuckle and Jasmine vibes 💕❤ I absolutely love it 😫💕 so bomb !
These are some pretty expensive scents if I can't afford them I would try using essential oils to make up my own mix of scents!! But wow I bet all of these smell really amazing!!
I loveee believe from Britney Spears. I’ve been wearing that perfume for over ten years. If you find it def pick it up. I have a hard time finding it but when I do I snatch it up. It’s a perfume I wear only around Christmas so whenever I do smell it I get that cozy Christmas vibe.
I loved the scent Rogue unfortunately it gives me a headache. I had to give it to my daughter. My ultimate favs right now are any juicy couture fragrance, dolce and gabana light blue,the one and of course clean reserve.
I think the cactus fruit is the sweet that you're smelling it's a sweet fruit. I also know what you're talking about with too sour smells. Life is sour enough. I don't need a sour perfume to remind me of that too, and men hate it BUT- l also sometimes love citruses that are tamed by vanilla, and are not tangy on the opening.
It's so interesting how subjective and personal fragrances/scents are, because Guess Seductive Noir smells like a stripper to me. My husband got it for me and unfortunately I had to gently inform him that I'd not be smelling like a dancer of the night anytime soon. I've picked it up a few times since... Just to give a sniff and see if it's changed (the way most fragrances do, with time) but to no avail. I can't get over it. Next time I'll try to think of fancy girls' night out, sipping wine, but I'm not holding my breath 😂
Oh my gosh! Believe is my signature scent. Everyone love that smell on me ❤️ the projection and sillage of that perfume is amazing ✨✨ I also have CK in2u for her perfume, one of the best 🥺✨
You're the only youtuber I've seen mention Still by JLo before. That drag is sooo underrated. I love Earl Grey tea, so I figured I would like it and I love it.
Thanks for making this video…just went ahead and placed my order and cannot wait for these to get here!!!! Been trying to get into fragrances and smelling my best all day everyday without having to spend for an arm and a leg
I work for Bath&Body works,and had a customer tell me that Dahlia smells like Gucci Gulty.. I've never smelled Gucci Gulty,but whenever I wear Dahlia I get compliments. 🤍⭐
I came here by accident, but girrrrl! First perfume, In2U CK, and I knew I would love your recommendations 🤩 I mean, such a pearl. Not many people know about it, and it’s wonderful! Will try your other ideas 🤭💛
My collection is pretty big also and I have the Couture in it amd my husband always says he likes how I smell also! It is less juvenile but still sweet. 💝
As a man I was gifted ck in2u her, I can tell you I'd honestly wear it, it smells nice and not to feminine bc of the woody smell from it however it is sweeter then the typical male fragrance but it can pass as both a feminine and male fragrance.
They reformulated Believe. It used to be absolutely stunning. It was very green and gorgeous/rich smelling. I don't find it that way anymore. Rogue does indeed smell like Gucci Rush, which I love. Great lineup of scents.
I have ALWAYS loved perfumes and fragrances!! I think I’ve always had at least 10 different options. But after watching your videos and seeing that we both like the same notes and smells I have started adding to my existing perfumes. I went from 10 to 56 in a matter of 2 days lol and a lot of the new ones are ones you talked about!! And I’m not disappointed at ANY of them 😌 so thank you 🙏 I’ve been going to Ross, TJ Max, Marshall’s, Burlington, and that’s about it. What other places to do find your stuff? I don’t care to shop at Macys or places like that… just too expensive. But I feel like my discount stores have very little in stock recently compared to before. But I’ll be going out today to look for some more to add to my now growing collection!!! Thank you again
I hope you get the chance to try guess double dare, I haven’t heard anyone talking about it and I’m very curious about it. I love this kind of videos, keep them coming!!!
Thanks for this video! I immediately went and ordered 3.3oz of Believe by Britney for $14 on Amazon (1oz was $13 lol) and I love it! I love the smell, it is very unique, and I’m obsessed with the bottle! I just transitioned careers so I have way less money to spend on perfume now and it made me feel better to know there’s fun scores like Believe out there!

Nothing beats CKin2U with the price and it’s performance, woooh!! It’s a crowd pleaser scent
It’s beautiful but performance is weak
@@AAA-ys9jv it lasts on my skin for 5hrs,, people can still smell it from me, I couldn’t smell myself anymore on that 5hr range,but people around me can still smell it, with the price, no complaint..
I love it too! But sadly it does not last on my skin for more than an hour or two if i am lucky!
I bought a bottle after watching the video. It is really the perfect perfume I have ever played. Although the ingredients are very simple, it is really perfect.
Its one of my favorites. If you find you're not getting the lasting power. Spray your body with an oil and then apply the perfume. Its a winner every time.
Okay im back for update from blind buys from your video. I bought CKN2U Brittney Spears Believe Guess Seductive and Miami Glow. Thank you!! These scents are really good! My current budget buys are ellen tracey courageous pink sugar and fancy🔥🔥🔥
You have to try Banana republic tobacco and tonka bean (Burlington has it all the time and it’s way sweeter than it sounds). Smells a lot like rich warm and addictive from Zara but more feminine. It’s so good! Also marshals and T.J. Maxx sometimes has the banana republic Rosewood AMOR ($20) which is a closer dupe to Baccarat rouge in my opinion because it also has that medicinal smell like baccarat rouge. Have you tried that one?
I picked up Rosewood Amor at TJ Maxx for $20, and it's amazing! I loved it!
I got that BR T&T from Burlington. It’s fire. It’s for man but most definitely can lean towards unisex. It’s on point. I like it.
Just came here to say that I bought the CK and Guess because of you and wowww! That CK is amazing! Was smelling myself all day lol. Thank you!
I love love love Couture Couture , thank you for mentioning it! It is so overlooked and smells so good!
Girrrrllll there are sooooo many hidden gems! I’m obsessed! You should check our Paradiso Assoluto by Roberto Cavalli. Trussardi Donna. Indi by Katy Perry. Fancy Love by Jessica Simpson. Always Red by Elizabeth Arden. Fatale Intense by Agent Provocateur.
I just bought Yara by Lattafa. It was around $22… close to your cut-off! It isn’t extraordinary, but it’s soft and sweet… powdery with vanilla and a little caramel. I would definitely recommend it!
I LOVE couture couture by juicy - nobody ever talks about that one and in my opinion I think it’s their best one!!!
If you check Jeremy Fragrance he goes on and on and on about it...
I think he likes Viva La Juicy Gold Couture - the gold bottle one that smells like Carmel 🙂
270K views! Congratulations Ksenja! ❤
miami glow is the absolute best!!! loved this video babe:))
Omg hi Natalie I love your channel ❤️
I just purchased the Rihanna Rouge and I purchased it as a blind buy and I’m stuck on the fences about it but I loved the Gucci rush back in the day. I also was surprised that I like the juicy culture i received it as a gift.
Britney Believe is my GO TO! I’ve had at least 9 bottles I buy it every year. I wore it to work one day and a coworker told me that she don’t usually like perfume but I smelled lovely and she enjoys the smell.
I’m a new perfume collector. I went to Macy’s and tested fragrances with my cousin . Like they gave me the coffee and I was still not sure about scents. The sales lady kept giving me testers to smell diffent scents . I purchased two small $30 Spray perfumes and when I got home I felt like I still didn’t like Marc Jacobs daisy eau so fresh. I’m making myself like it. Thanks for sharing. Im definitely not a big bottle perfume buyer.
Return it.
@@foredimples529 I’m one of those people who really doesn’t like to return things. Like I’ll exchange most of the time. I dont feel like going back to the mall😩.I have some fragrances for b&bw sas just (2) that I didn’t like I need to hurry up and go exchange😩. I don’t know if I feel like returning the fragrance. I’ll just keep mixing it with little blk party dress from b&bw it’s a small size like roller ball size but a spray so i can use it up fast.
Don't force yourself into a hobby that may not work for your sense of self. Some of us have noses that are easy to please, and some of us have noses that are hyper-selective about smells. You probably may not like certain perfume scents bc of the alcohol content and probably can't truly experience the full-rounded scent, since you can't smell a dry-down until anywhere from 15 min to an hour/several hours later.
Plus, smelling fragrances from a bottle or from a blotter give a completely different experience than wearing them on yourself, mixed with your skin chemistry. But we don't have the luxury of testing certain perfumes to get their full effect. So I think you need to ask yourself what scents in the past have you been drawn to? Were they clean/fresh, aquatic, ozonic, aldehydic, lactonic, gourmand, salty, fruity, floral, powdery, herbal, earthy, spicy, oriental?
Figure out what happy scent memories you have to determine your personal taste. For ex. beach vacations, walks in the park or in a field, favorite desserts/snacks, favorite shampoos or body wash, favorite candles, mall smells, work smells, comfy home smells, etc. See if you can find a unifying thread of different scents that appeal to you and use these notes as a guide to determine what you like in a perfume.
@@YourMajesty143 I ended up really liking Marc Jacobs eau so fresh. I’m definitely a Gormand lover, also floral and some woody. My favorite scent notes are rose, magnolia, apple, oakmoss, honeysuckle . But I like trying out different scents to see what I like . I still didn’t end up liking Michael kors wonderlust but it’s just a small travel spray. It was the way I was spraying Marc Jacobs too. I was spraying it way to close. I notice with some of my fragrances and mists they smell much better when I spray them from a distance. But I want to make sure the scent gets on me sometimes and I’ll spray to close and it’s too much and it won’t smell right.
Ck into u is so underrated! It’s amazing and definitely sexy!
brought guess be seductive noir after watching this video last week and tryed it.. It smells sooo pleasant and delicious everything thing u described about this scent including the price quality it smells like a verrry high end perfume very warm spicy decadent sent 🖤🍂✨
No one ever talks about ROGUE. Its one of my favourite celebrity perfume. Love it so much
Love these types of videos! Affordable perfume videos are my favorite
Girl I recommend Believe to everyone who doesn't have have it on their fragrantica shelf. I absolutely love it. I could bathe in it. I have 2 full size backups. It lasts forever too.
Its definitely my top 5 for sure.
By who?
@@CeCe-os3ul do you know
@@CeCe-os3ul Believe is a Britney Spears perfume.
Do you think it smells different than it used to. I hear they reformulated it
I got the Laura Mercier Ombre Vanille. Thank you for the recommendation....I LOVE IT!!!!!!
Well done! You got me at cheap/frugal. Next time, please make mention of the lasting power. That also helps us to make the decision on what to buy.
Thanks!
Awesome review and suggestions. Please list the name of the perfume
I've been wearing Tommy Girl since I was a teen. It works great with my chemistry and I get the most compliments. I wish it came in an EDP and not just EDT
I just bought it again yesterday at tj max,.. miss that since high school too, just had to have it in the collection
Not criticizing because you put the name of the fragrances like above it when you’re talking about it because it’s very hard to see the bottles and it goes past what it is thank you so much
You, my Dear, will NEVER be boring!
I feel like you have mentioned that you are not a fan of Fancy by Jessica Simpson. I tend to like scents you mentioned so I feel like you would like that one too if you haven’t tried it! I absolutely love sweet creamy scents too but I actually do love fresh scents. I just feel like Fancy is cheap but smells so delicious and sweet but fresh! Anyway just curious if you have tried that one!
She did actually try it and think she might still owns it. I keep hearing it’s good so I might find it for $15 at Burlington or Marshall’s. At least you can return it if you don’t like it
Fancy is My favorite perfume right now ❤️
Can you describe fancy? I just bought fancy love its not bad...
@@VeronicaGarcia-gf6vj can you describe fancy? I just bought fancy love do you have that? Are they similar?
I just love the way you explain how the scents smell !! If I'm on edge about anything I haven't smelled yet, I make sure I search for it on your channel and add it to my list
I used to wear the original Paris Hilton perfume, I think it’s in a black and pink bottle. I think it’s like 20 ish dollars for 3,4 Oz. I loved it in high school, but, as I got older it was too sweet smelling. Now I only wear Cloud ☁️💜
Have you Tried her perfume called Cancan? 💕
Omg I HATE ONLINE SHOPPING TOO!! People think I’m crazy when I say that, Amazon is my only exception
CKin2U for her gave me nostalgia vibes! I wore that as a signature scent in my teens in high school. I need to refresh my nose to this cause I really liked it. I also loved Hugo Boss deep red. Try it! It’s seriously so good!
Been wearing jlo still for 18 years one of my favorites
I only saw your thumbnail and without even watching the video I subscribed.
Because you love all the fragrances that im crazy about!😄❤️
JUST ORDERED SEDUCTIVE NOIR GUESS.....YOU TALKED ME INTO IT!!!! I SHOULD GET IT TODAY OR TMRW....
Also Maxaroma has this gorgeous perfume called lanvin eclat for $40. It’s a sweet sparkly perfume my mother and I have been wearing for 15 years, the just is PURPLE it’s such an adorable bottle and you get 3.4 fluid ounces. I think it normally goes from 80-100
I looooove Rogue. It took me a little bit to kind of get used to it, but once I did it became my go-to going out perfume 😉😄
Rogue is a fragrance for bad ass girls. For those who dont play around. Sexy and confident. Unbothered. I love It too! 🥰
I’m still trying to understand Rogue, yesterday I layered with Reb’Le fleur , and It was a great combination.
Juicy Couture "Couture Couture " is my absolute favorite!!!! I freaking LOVE IT!! I love the Honeysuckle and Jasmine vibes 💕❤ I absolutely love it 😫💕 so bomb !
Me too…. I really don’t understand why that one is in TJ Maxx and not Macy’s 🙄
Girl you are me and I am you. I LOVE in store shopping. And I used to love fancy but its too much for me now. Thanks for the video.
These are some pretty expensive scents if I can't afford them I would try using essential oils to make up my own mix of scents!! But wow I bet all of these smell really amazing!!
I went to tj max and saw the ck and had to buy it..Smells great thanks
I LOVE Guess Seductive Noir! My favourite fragrance. My boyfriend likes it aswell. That darkness is insane 🔥
I loveee believe from Britney Spears. I’ve been wearing that perfume for over ten years. If you find it def pick it up. I have a hard time finding it but when I do I snatch it up. It’s a perfume I wear only around Christmas so whenever I do smell it I get that cozy Christmas vibe.
I love white pepper with rose. Thank you for the J Lo perfume suggestion. ❤
I loved the scent Rogue unfortunately it gives me a headache. I had to give it to my daughter. My ultimate favs right now are any juicy couture fragrance, dolce and gabana light blue,the one and of course clean reserve.
I think the cactus fruit is the sweet that you're smelling it's a sweet fruit. I also know what you're talking about with too sour smells. Life is sour enough. I don't need a sour perfume to remind me of that too, and men hate it BUT- l also sometimes love citruses that are tamed by vanilla, and are not tangy on the opening.
It's so interesting how subjective and personal fragrances/scents are, because Guess Seductive Noir smells like a stripper to me.
My husband got it for me and unfortunately I had to gently inform him that I'd not be smelling like a dancer of the night anytime soon.
I've picked it up a few times since... Just to give a sniff and see if it's changed (the way most fragrances do, with time) but to no avail. I can't get over it.
Next time I'll try to think of fancy girls' night out, sipping wine, but I'm not holding my breath 😂
Gucci Rush is from real old days , back to childhood ❤️
Oh my gosh! Believe is my signature scent. Everyone love that smell on me ❤️ the projection and sillage of that perfume is amazing ✨✨
I also have CK in2u for her perfume, one of the best 🥺✨
Hi @anduwea , u got the reformulated version or the original one with metal plate?
@@tungmaxx5000 the OG one :) yes the one with the metal
@@anduwea where do you find the original believe?
You're the only youtuber I've seen mention Still by JLo before. That drag is sooo underrated. I love Earl Grey tea, so I figured I would like it and I love it.
Omgosh. Just ordered 6 of them!! Thank you!!
And it doesn’t hurt the wallet!! ❤️
Thanks for making this video…just went ahead and placed my order and cannot wait for these to get here!!!! Been trying to get into fragrances and smelling my best all day everyday without having to spend for an arm and a leg
Ur making me obsessed with fragrance I love your taste n videos I’ve bought 4 of ur recommendations in 2 days
She's breaking me!!!
I work for Bath&Body works,and had a customer tell me that Dahlia smells like Gucci Gulty.. I've never smelled Gucci Gulty,but whenever I wear Dahlia I get compliments. 🤍⭐
I came here by accident, but girrrrl! First perfume, In2U CK, and I knew I would love your recommendations 🤩 I mean, such a pearl. Not many people know about it, and it’s wonderful! Will try your other ideas 🤭💛
My collection is pretty big also and I have the Couture in it amd my husband always says he likes how I smell also! It is less juvenile but still sweet. 💝
I love your videos because you are the only perfum youtuber that I find truly entertaining and we have EXACLTY the same taste in scents!! TFS
As a man I was gifted ck in2u her, I can tell you I'd honestly wear it, it smells nice and not to feminine bc of the woody smell from it however it is sweeter then the typical male fragrance but it can pass as both a feminine and male fragrance.
I thought Mon Paris smelled very generic. The best sweet patchouli I've smelled is the Berry Patchouli from Pacifica. So good.
Would you say the britney spears perfume is a safe blind buy for someone who really likes sweet perfumes like cloud, ari, tease by vs?
Yes they are amazing
They reformulated Believe. It used to be absolutely stunning. It was very green and gorgeous/rich smelling. I don't find it that way anymore. Rogue does indeed smell like Gucci Rush, which I love. Great lineup of scents.
The Miami Glow for me. I smelled it when my BFF and I went shopping and stopped at a perfume stall, and it was love at first sniff.
I have ALWAYS loved perfumes and fragrances!! I think I’ve always had at least 10 different options. But after watching your videos and seeing that we both like the same notes and smells I have started adding to my existing perfumes. I went from 10 to 56 in a matter of 2 days lol and a lot of the new ones are ones you talked about!! And I’m not disappointed at ANY of them 😌 so thank you 🙏 I’ve been going to Ross, TJ Max, Marshall’s, Burlington, and that’s about it. What other places to do find your stuff? I don’t care to shop at Macys or places like that… just too expensive. But I feel like my discount stores have very little in stock recently compared to before. But I’ll be going out today to look for some more to add to my now growing collection!!! Thank you again
I hope you get the chance to try guess double dare, I haven’t heard anyone talking about it and I’m very curious about it. I love this kind of videos, keep them coming!!!
Guess double dare smells very very nice. However, it's not very long lasting. I picked it up at Burlington.
Thanks for this video! I immediately went and ordered 3.3oz of Believe by Britney for $14 on Amazon (1oz was $13 lol) and I love it! I love the smell, it is very unique, and I’m obsessed with the bottle! I just transitioned careers so I have way less money to spend on perfume now and it made me feel better to know there’s fun scores like Believe out there!
