I am the worst about falling in love with a sample after a couple of wears. I rush to buy a bottle and then don’t like it when it arrives. My current strategy is to buy a sample, wear it until it’s gone. Then I buy a 7 or 10 ml decant. If I still love it after I wear through the decant, I’ll spring for a bottle. (Of course the perfume has probably been discontinued by this point 😂).
Oh well I have enough bottles that I’ll probably not live long enough to wear through them all anyway 😎
Where do you buy fragrance decants?
Sometimes I believe the sample on many perfumes that we sample is enhanced and then we purchase but it is lighter than the sample.
You will benefit from perfume oils instead of perfume.
@@FreedomNurse I do not see many oils at all.
@@victoriae9837 ok . Sorry you are not close to any shops. You can order online. A Hugh one is oil perfumery.
So I accidentally bought Donna Born in Roma: Coral Fantasy. I had meant to buy the original. Although it was a wonderful mistake! It’s fruity and perfect for summer. I love it. You should give it a try!
I agree, lately I have been just craving lighter for refined scents, I have been wearing my Phlur not your baby exclusively for about a month now, lol!! It’s just so beautiful, and light, I just bought the jo Malone peony and blush suede and can not wait to get it in!! Great vid!!💕
With fragrance just as with fashion; just because something is beautiful and may actually look good on you (smell good on you), doesn’t mean you should get it or keep it. It may not speak to who you really are or speak truth to you. We should learn to appreciate but not possess, that way we can focus on what is really important to us.
Very nicely put!!!
It takes me a long time to find a fragrance I really love.
This is exactly how I feel with Cloud 2.0. People compliment it when I wear but it doesn’t bring me joy. I don’t smell like “me” even when it smells good. Ended up listening to my gut and exchanged my 100mL with another bottle.
you literally share so many of the same opinions as me on fragrance! i have never been the biggest fan of good girl, and totally relate to the dusty heavy description you used. i’m happy you don’t just follow a trend and are authentic to your personal tastes
I gave my bottle of Decadence to the young woman who occasionally cleans for me. She said she gets compliments everywhere she goes. She said it caught her a boyfriend. She used up the bottle and shopped everywhere for it, having no idea it is a discontinued fragrance. (I didn’t enjoy it at all! ) I was going to surprise her with a bottle at Christmas, but it is overpriced now since it’s discontinued. I did it Ilithia, I purchased Loubirouge a couple months ago. It is luxurious! You are so right, we do love hearing feelings about our fragrances. My latest surprise sample that I have loved wearing the last 2 days is Byredo Rose of No Man’s Land. I think that will be my next bottle, though so expensive, I might have to wait a couple months. I enjoyed the idea of this video very much.
If you have cvs in your area, Try there for decadence!
Love Jo Malone!!! So many amazing fragrances!! 💕💕
Loving these long chatty fragrance videos!
I love your videos so much! I love your reluctance to let a beautiful fragrance go too because I'm indecisive sometimes as well! I have learned though to keep a beloved perfume I once really loved just to smell and relive the memory of that time. So glad l kept the original vintage Valentino, Nina and Y. They were classic beauties!
Thank you so much ❤❤❤ I really appreciate you watching. And yes I agree:)
I wish you listed the fragrances because I’ve so enjoyed your channel and I’ve ordered well over $2,000 in fragrances based on your videos but it would make it so much easier if you listed them. Love your video’s
I’ll list them!!:) sorry about that, I must have been feeling a bit lazy today 😆, but I shall list them:):):)
@@thesimplechiclife I’m such a moron. I didn’t think the first message went thru because I couldn’t see it so I sent a second one. Thank you so much!
True fan! 👏🏼❤️
Does anyone know not that it matters is she Asian, I believe I know her and she is Asian .
Totally agree about those Good Girl ones. I have very similar feelings about it.
Also agreed about all your thoughts on Decadence.
i just got absolutely blooming and i’m loving it so far. for me miss dior 2017 is too heavy on the pink pepper and a little mature for me, i’m so glad i picked up absolutely blooming because it’s more “wearable” for me! i got blooming bouquet as well, i like it too but it smells kind of shampoo like to me so i’ve been using it as my go to for staying at home but i don’t like wearing it at work or on dates
Enjoyable video. Thanks. I wondered what your updated thoughts were on the Jo Malone Blue Agava and Cacoa 👍💙
Oh, I should have updated here; yes I sent that one back. It was really nice but I wasn’t head over heels in love with it and something about one of the floral notes bugged me a bit.
I can't get over decadence. There's nothing like it, gives me goosebumps every time. My favorite perfume ever
Mistique shimmer by Michael kors has a very similar “vibe” to decadence if you like that kind of scent profile :)
Peony and Blush Suede is my absolute favorite! I have the shower gel, cream (which sadly I just finished the whole jar), oil, and the perfume. It's a beautiful close skin scent and plays well with others perfumes. ❤️
Hey friends 🤗 perfect update mini love ❤️
I felt the same way about Metallique, I'm glad it was one of the few instances where I went for a decant instead of the full-bottle. I couldn't even finish my 5ml decant.
Everytime I tried to wear it something in it bothered me suddenly.
I absolutely love the new la vie est belle Oui! Its the most beautiful sweet Iris fragrance. I think people complain about perfumes not being strong enough and bad performance, then complain when fragrance are too strong ...lol. i love the entire La Vie est Belle line, but i have to be in the mood for it, i like it for going out for drinks, i really love Peony and Blush suede too, i chose that over Clean Skin as my "work perfume "since im not supposed to wear fragrance. Its nice and light
Diptyque eau des sens , edt, is so beautiful!
Oh my heart! Lol the good girl legere is my #1 perfume in my 100 bottle collection. I’ve been getting rid of a lot lately because the bad is taking up space for new good, but I smell that perfume and it always takes me heart. The good girl line is my favorite from any brand I’ve tried. I usually don’t like all from a line but I really enjoy all of them. Maybe try the good girl in a different season and maybe it’ll change your mind. I definitely find myself reach for things depending on the weather so before you get rid of it, maybe a chilly summer day or sticky hot try them and see if there is a difference in what you think, they are definitely a sweet/sexy perfume to smell on someone.
I am the worst impulsive shopper...because perfume is so emotional, I buy them when I'm happy, when I'm sad.... And the Donna range is amazing! I resisted the hype for years, but I love all of them
I do the same thing!! I also buy to get over bad weather conditions 🤣
I can relate to waking up to a perfume counter and falling in love than later thinking what was I thinking 🤔 I get into the whole search for the perfect scent and bottle 💓
I have New York Nights. I get banoffee pie. I like it for a casual, comforting scent. But I’m also a big foodie, so it kinda makes sense for me.
Mh here in Switzerland miss dior absolutely blooming isn't discontinued....it is also on their Website.
For me this is a lovely scent on a sunny winterday because of the sweetness!! I cant wear it on warm days!
I am starting to believe it is not discontinued. When miss dior 2017 was said to be discontinued you couldn’t find it after a couple of months. This one the rumour started around the same time and is still available almost everywhere. So not sure. I hope it isn’t, because it is BEAUTIFUL and I have a back up of it just in case 😌
I also thought I preferred the Legere flanker, and didn’t like the original Good Girl, but now I like the original way more actually! Might be worth trying again 😊 But I also agree that it smells better on others “in the air“ vs on myself
Eau de Lingerie (and the full Matières Confidentielles collection) are actually for fabrics, though they market them for skin as well with the caveat that they're more of a body spray concentration. That's why the performance is so subtle-it's not meant to suffuse fabrics too strongly!
Thank you! I’m interested in this line.
I decluttered the original good girl and my little girl would always spray my remaining sample on her clothes. I could always smell her walking past, the projection is amazing! And everywhere she goes people would tell me, omg your daughter smells SO GOOD it must be your perfume! Eventually I brought back the OG because i was really missing it. I agree the opening was off putting for me too, always prickling my nose. But it’s gorgeous in the drydown and it’s my secret weapon! I have grown into the cologne vibe of the OG, my husband occasionally compliments GG too saying i smell sexy.
Hmm you’re making me want to revisit good girl the OG. You’re right it was that girls sillage walking past me that smelled amazing
@@thesimplechiclife it might indeed be worth a revisit. It’s a mighty player in my lineup. One hour into drydown it does smell really gorgeous and not as polarising when it opens.
I absolutely love Decadence! It is my signature fragrance but since it is discontinued I will be replacing it with Angel Shares unless I can find someone who is selling their Decadence at a reasonable price.
I completely agree with you on the Good Girl line, they smell great on paper, but MAN are they too strong for me. I bought the Legere after having sprayed it on paper, but once I started testing it out on my skin, I got this super bizarre bug spray vibe from it 🤢 also really starting to realize that I’m not a beast mode scent girl, and that one made me realize that, lol.
The same thing happened with me and Metallique. You are not alone. I really wanted to love it, but we just didn't get along. I had a mini, bought the full bottle, and never used it. Every time I tried the mini, I seemed to get a headache. Decluttered. :-)
I love your channel honey!!
And isn't diptyque outstanding?!
Absolutely love LV fragrances ! 💕, want a tray full of them , NYN from Bond is hands down one of m favorite fragrances , love gourmands on me and it always brings compliments , Madison Ave is beautiful will probably add her too.. but search for a great price full retail is 😳💲💲
I bought two of the Sol de Janeiro body fragrances and although I use to like the bum bum cream, I just found I’d outgrown them, so they are in my donation bag.
I feel the same about absolutely blooming
I wanted to like the Ariana REM but there’s just something about the saltiness and the lavender my nose doesn’t like. Also, LVEB makes me sick. I think it’s the heaviness of it and the iris. My fav flanker is the intensment! It has raspberry and vanilla.
I’ve been using BEE for a year now and it’s my signature scent, I love the sweet warm rum smell. But it is definitely an only fall and winter scent so when I try wearing it in the summers it’s just not good
Have u tried Le Labo? You need to try Another 13. It makes me happy..calm down and just so satisfied. Hard to describe😍 my ultimate home alone fragrance😁
I ❤️ Peony & Blush Suede as well as Wild Blue Bell as well as Jasmine and Mint by Jo Malone. It’s a shame they become skin scents so quickly….but there is something so elegant and refined about JM fragrances.
I never really got into designer perfumes….but even smelling some of the testers I’d department stores makes my head reel.
Another regret I thought of was Kayali vanilla, I thankfully just bought a very small bottle however I need about 8 sprays to smell it on myself only a few hours later. My Victoria Secret bare vanilla lasts better!
VS Bare Vanilla is my fav vanilla scent of all time-body sprays and perfumes combined. I also regret Kayali Vanilla. It is too “toasty” for me. Thankfully I only bought the travel size!
Same !! I was so disappointed, and it makes me sneeze so much when I spray it 😐 probably allergic to one specific note haha
I have the same problem and I’m always scared to say that I’m not the biggest fan of Vanilla 28 because it’s so widely loved and hard to get your hands on but it just doesn’t do it for me! I much more prefer Vanilla woods from the 7 virtues or even Vanilla Sky from Skylar ☺️
I am glad that I didn't purchase it, bc, I've heard quite a few people say this. Something that people have commented is that it's supposed to be a fragrance to layer, but, doesn't have a "layer fragrance" price tag. I love, love vanilla so I'm on the hunt for an amazing one.
@@BAW47 I’ve heard really good things about the Lavanila vanilla perfume and skylar vanilla sky (as someone mentioned here), but personally didn’t try them :)
New York Nights has a note, that to me, smells like milk the day before it goes bad. Black Phantom from Killian has it as well. Like a sweet caramel milky coffee left out overnight.
Try Chanel Paris Paris!!
Pink pepper and juicy rose
New here I’m enjoying your channel. Just curious have you done a vintage fragrance review. Im a big fan of Estée Lauder Spellbound, Beautiful, Chanel No. 19 & Cartier’s So Pretty.
Ohhh the same happened to me with Metallique, I never wear it.
I feel exactly the same with Good Girls, LVEB I love the flankers way more than the original - maybe you’ll find a LVEB flanker you like? The flankers are less strong. LVEB Eclet is very popular. I also love LVEB solei crystal and LVEB Intesement
Yes I’ve tried all of them and honestly I really like most of them but none have become a lifer for me yet. I really like the sweetness of the intensement!
I also like both of the Good Girl fragrances you have, but they ALSO bother my nose? Like I have sinus issues. They smell wonderful, but I am unable to wear them lol.
I just saw Absolutely Blooming at Neiman Marcus the other day! I wonder if they just havent sold it yet..
I love Peony and Blush Suede, but wouldn't go about pretending I'm not wearing a perfume. Strangely enough it can be quite strong and projects really decently.
Have you checked out the new Loubimar eau de parfum legere ?
I have been needing to find the previous formulation of the Valentino Donna! I have a sample but I can't track down the original version. Now it's peachy and the leather is taken out. :-( I can't find anything that compares.
I loved bee but then as my bottle got more old it got extremely medicinal.
It’s still beautiful but the rum seems to turn after a while.
Thank you so much for your videos. (Or not! You have me hooked on fragrances now!) If you ever want to sell your Guerlain, I will buy it off of you.
Have you ever tried Good Girl Gone Bad by Kilian? I think you should give it a try, it’s a lovely feminine and pretty perfume 😊 The osmanthus gives it a nice slightly apricot/peachy vibe, and even though there is tuberose in there (and I hate dusty tuberose like the one in Good Girl by Carolina Herrera or Rouge Malachite), I think it’s lovely. Also slightly powdery but in a good way 😉
Hello love your videos always and forever :)))I did not get the part where you talk about Dyptique au Duelle perfume is the the edp or edt? Thank you
White label for Diptyque = edt
It’s EDT indeed although I’ve tried the EDP and it’s lovely!!
@@mariareview940 thank you so much i did not know the difference in labels in Diptique fragrances because i never owned one but i just bought the edt because you love it so much and i trust your reviews alot....have a nice day dear
I ordered Do Son by Dip-whatever - I’m hoping it’s beautiful
I just got a few new ones. Love Sung by Alfred Sung, Fancy by Jessica Simpson, Red Door by Elizabeth Arden, Princess by Vera Wang. Don't like White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor or Pink Sugar by Aquolina.
Tell me about the French Kiss by Guerlain I had never heard of it.
Do you buy perfume at store or online ? I’d love to try jo marone!! I don’t buy big bottles , I prefer roll on , so I don’t get overwhelmed too much . I love your collection !!
Both:). But the stores near me don’t carry niche or higher end. So most of those come from online
Maybe hold onto Decadence till your December declutter.
I think fragrances really depends on body chemistry and weather 😢. Keep testing as you can because sometimes like you say things change ☺️
I prefer good girl legere!
I wish I find a Jo Malone I like because most of then give me headaches. I need to give them a try again.
Marc jacobs decadence is a fall/winter scent... i would never declutter 😊. Just finished my jo malone peony and blush
Wow, that’s so interesting that New York Nights smells like banana bread to you bc this was an immediate no for me. It smells to me like nail polish or a nail salon minus all the harsh alcohols. ☠️ Just like you, I looked at the notes and wanted to love it bc I’m on the look out for a new caramel fragrance.
I really think I would love that loubirouge but it’s not in the budget this year. I’m being responsible 🤣🤣
Can you give me your thoughts on Comptoir sud pacifique fragrances 🙂
I should do a dedicated video. In a nutshell, I think they smell terrific but I don’t enjoy wearing them, a bit too sweet for me.
@@thesimplechiclife yes, I would love that!! I do really love gourmands...vanilla, chocolate, coconut. They aren't horribly expensive. I think I just needed the Ilythia stamp of approval 😆 I am going to order a little set of 3 samples! Thank you!!! Appreciate you so much 🥰💖💝
@@thesimplechiclife their website has discovery sets of 3..sample, deluxe sample, and 1 ounce. And I do love that their fragrances come in 1 ounce bottles. I don't like to commit to a 3 ounce. Like you, I sometimes change my mind after wearing a fragrance for a bit. Like you suggested, my "loves" I can commit to the larger bottle! Great price point!! Gotta love that 🤗💖💝
with TF metalique it feels like they just stick together some notes, and hope it will work and sell as mad. it doesn't. is dusty neroli, projection 30 min puff gone.
any of GG shoes don't call my attention, I have sample of og, sprayed on me, sprayed on paper, sprayed on somebody else nope, still nail polish / hair spray vibes. I can't detect any note is just chamical mess🙃 but is me, nothing which is hyped I like 🤣
Loubirouge is stunning. But I am so upset it doesn’t project just that bit more. For almost $500AUD, these should last longer. I also loved Loubidoo, but didn’t buy the full size because as gorgeous and summery as it is, it lasted an hour, MAXIMUM. Yet to try Loubifunk, looking for my summer staple perfume…the search continues.
I wish you had kept the older Valentino Donna bottle coz the one you have now is the reformulated version :(
My older one would have been too:(. The one I had when it first first came out now that was amazing. But .. nothing i can do. I wish companies would stop reformulating perfumes
@@thesimplechiclife same!! It’s really confusing for us consumers. Feels like we’re being pranked all the time… 🥺
There’s nothing like Decadence to me either. If you can sell it to me I’d be so happy. I live in the states though not sure if you can ship. I can’t find it here.
have you tried the nest fragrance oils? i got the discovery set and love them all and think they’d be up your alley!
I have and I really like the vanilla one! I have it right now:)
I love only one from NEST HER NEW ONE GOLDEN NECTAR AND IT WON THE FIFI AWARD BY THE FRAGRANCE FOUNDATION. IT IS SO NICE SHE HAS A $33 size. Very nice and I have never liked NEST AT ALL.
Decadence just has to be worn in colder months to appreciate it.
If you like attrape reves you may like v canto stricnina, xerjoff urba pura or bond 9 Greenwich village.good fruity perfumes.i actually think they are more interesting than attrape reves imho.goodgirl I never was a fan of,I feel like it's just too much for my nose.i don't find it sexy.lveb is not my cup of tea but I like lveb soliel cristal but you have to like coconut,orange blossom plus it's sweet you can wear all year round.❤
Thank you for those recommendations!!:)
can you write the name of the perfume
I don't think I'll like the OG LVEB.. I'll stick to my intensement! I love that one. I'm feeling the same about REM lately... I loved it when I first got it in winter but now I don't really reach for it, I still like thank you next tho. Are you still liking thank you next?
Thank you next I do love how it smells but haven’t been wearing it a lot, but I haven’t had it long enough to really know how I feel about it for the long haul. It smells so good though!
Same here so I would wait until the winter to try it again . I remember it made me feel very cozy
I’m with you and the good girl perfumes. I’ve tried them so many times and wanted to like them but… Like you said there’s just something about them that does not agree with me. Great video!
Thank you 😊
Where do you order samples from?
Robert Piguet sales samples and I love three of there fragrances.
@@victoriae9837 thank you
@@analove9453 you are most welcome.
La Vie Est Belle smells better in winter, still gorgeous to me, and R.E.M doesn't smell nice on me anymore . The weather,... room temps,...seem to change my perfumes. 🙄
am i crazy or I get a very very slight "peach" vibe from wood sage and seasalt??
Guys hit the thumbs up almost 13,000 views , it helps the content creators ❤
Body chemistry would explain why they don’t mesh with your chemistry.
Although I like to smell lveb on other ppl , I cannot wear it myself at all.
Girl Decadence is my SIGNATURE.. BUT i can see how people can have mixed feelings like you, once you smell it it can definitely confuse you
I just can't get past the pickle smell in Decadence.
I cannot stand Herrera , and the TF Metalique.
Can not stand Good Girl, as you said dusty and headache inducing. Just declutter them.
I believe I know you, You are Asian right ?
It's interesting you talk about fragrances that you loved and really wanted when you tested it and love the idea of having, especially when your talking about the Guerlain and wanting Rose Cherie, because I'm exactly where you are with your Guerlain, only for me i actually have Rose Cherie but i never wear it. I thought i needed it, and it is beautiful. But there's a quality in it that gives me baby wipe vibes, only subtle but it's there. It dries from that to a soft almond and Rose but still it stops me from Ever reaching for it unfortunately. Just wanted to mention that in case you weren't sure about it. 👌🤍
