    You look so beautiful Chris. Love the piano in the backgroud. I agree about the not spending if it doesnt knock your socks off. The luxury niche trend has exploded in the last 5 years. People are using the equivalent of rent money to buy something that is perfumed water... And then they need the whole collection. Nahh

      Yes it’s really tough when you get something as PR to be brutally honest. The toughest part of doing these reviews. Very very very few ppl are honest and respectful….it’s a very fine tightrope. My biggest pet peeve is reviewers either not disclosing a free PR bottle or loving every single bottle sent. 🤔Yea no. 😂

    Hi Chris, thank you for your honest and frank review. I note your statement as to having purchased the discovery set yourself and I think that is what sets you apart from many reviewers. I have seen so many raving reviews about the Roja perfumes. The vloggers would disclose right from the start that they have been so generously sent free bottles. At that price point, to be given a free bottle, not to mention bottles with an s, it would be very difficult to stay unbiased. I bought my own discovery set and just started today by dabbing Essence 51 on my arm. I think it is a unique scent but what you observed I also found to be true. It was gone on my skin in just one hour or even less. And while I haven't tried the rest in the kit, the longevity was discouraging. It made me so glad to have bought the discovery kit first instead of simply relying on all those reviews of free bottles. And so, I appreciate you and have now subscribed. I imagine I'd be doing a marathon of your videos in the next couple of weeks. Oh, and if you haven't, can you please do a review of Greenwich Village and Tribeca from NYC Bond No, 9, as well as the perfumes from Ostens House? All the very best to you!

    • @ThePerfumeNest

      Hi Maria! Thank you. Well….I had a rule when I started; I didn’t accept anything as a gift for the first year (I think I first accepted something at 11 months) and I didn’t follow a script and could say what I wanted. I turn down 99% of collabs offered because I just don’t want to do them and be a sales person. So if it shows up on my channel and it’s been gifted, it’s because I would spend my own money to buy it. I am about to pack up a perfume sent yo me for free, but I don’t really care for it…so I’m giving it to one of my subscribers who enjoys perfume but is on a very limited budget. I’ll also never sell something gifted to me; big no no in my book. Thanks for stopping by and subscribing! I really appreciate it. 💕❤️PS I ended up buying 51 in the perfume version (purchased myself) and it still has poor longevity but it was so pretty I was ok with it. Sometimes powerhouse fragrances are not always appropriate (work, restaurant, etc). 😉💕

    Second comment here but I was about to pull the trigger on a bottle of 51perfume but I decided to hit pause and replay your review. So glad I did and so glad I read through the comments. What was I thinking!? I didn't love my discovery set and yet I had the bottle in my cart. No. Finding it for a little less than retail doesn't mean $280 is well spent. Pass for me. Thanks Chris. Your channel and Emy's from Canada are incredibly helpful and I rely on honest reviews. I'm in a city with Nordstrom, Saks, Sephora but they don't carry some of these more niche fragrances that allow me to easily go sample.

      Hi there!!! Yes……I think it’s very difficult to say negative things if you are gifted a bottle. That’s not a bad thing….it’s human nature. We don’t like saying something negative about a gift. That’s why for now…I feel a little “more liberated” by not accepting bottles or products at this time. 😉❤️it’s a personal thing and absolutely not trying to “throw shade” on those that do. Not at all….I may make exceptions in the future if I really love a house or brand. 💕

    Once again I'm catching up on your channel and commenting very late but thank you! I just received my Roja discovery set and have been a little underwhelmed. I'm wearing Elixir today (Parfum version) and had my son give his thoughts. "Pleasant and somewhat ordinary" is what he said. He thought it smelled like "regular perfume". Yes, I'm completely with you Chris. I wanted to be wowed and had looked forward to smelling something very special. While these are lovely and pleasant, none of them stand out to me as "gotta haves". I'd love to see any discovery set reviews from you! The background piano music from Pat is so beautiful! Maybe you can sway him to make an appearance one of these days!

    Roja does advice first to apply your parfume and then to apply a lotion. I do this always with my short lasting fragrances and I really get more longevity.

I only like one and it's Danger, I have it in the Essence de Parfum and Parfum version ,and the Parfum version is a "clone" of my old times favorite Samsara, 100% (probably that's why I like it so much 😜), my second and third runner ups are Reckless (because I love orange blossom and I agree, having Gimauve de Noel to me doesn't make sense to buy Reckless, on my skin the dry down is super similar) and 51 but I heard it has poor performance even in the parfum version so if you wanna be first, try it and let me know 😍😍

    I have the sample set as well and I liked 51 the most followed by Risqué (creation r) and reckless. I have 51 in the essence version, the edp version and the hair mist.
    I really want to get the PARFUM but it’s like $1000 and I’m not ready to drop that much!

      I was thinking the EDP then….I’ve seen it at FragrAnce X for 275$. Maybe I’ll wait on that also!!!! I’d never spend 1000$ on perfume. Ever. Unless it made me look 10-20 years younger! I mean it better at that price!! 😂😂❤️❤️

      Hi! Do you think the edp is stronger than the essence?? I’ve been debating on which one to get

    I got the essence 51 I think it is absolutely gorgeous. Yet I am so incredibly frustrated how it is basically a skin scent. Never been so disappointed because it’s so beautiful but no one will get the chance to smell unless maybe while I hug them. I can not find a dupe either

      Exactly my beef. These were getting rave reviews at first (from ppl getting them free 🤨) and I was like…why??? They are imperceptible. I think that’s why these just basically went away because they were flops. But I did buy the 51 perfume . It’s still very light but lovely.

    Not tried any of these. I love discovery sets though as long as they aren't crazily priced 🙄 love the piano, wish I could play something... I remember my cousins were forced to play piano as children. As soon as they were allowed to stop, they did 😂 I was always sad that it wasn't me that got the lessons...
    I think this a hard pass given your reviews of longevity, even with cream, even for ones that you like. Phew $300!!! Ouch...
