I have to agree with you on Mancera. Although I do have the same problem with Montale. They all smell very synthetic and cheap on me. ESPECIALLY their rose scents.
Oh my God. I blind bought musk noir rose and return it the next day . I can’t stand Narsisco Rodriguez fragrances. And for Chanel daughter bought me Gabrielle Chanel, I’m keeping it for her and layer it with other fragrances but not a like. Thank you for sharing this😍
I agree with you I hated Narciso Rodriguez Musc Noir it's bad immediately returned it. Musc Noir Rose is still tolerable but not a like, and I blind bought pure musc 😢 straight up hate, bye bye Narciso
I agree with you mostly, but Hermes Fabourg 24 I think is iconic, and I like Mediterranee . I almost fainted at Frederick Malle on your list. Carnal flower was one of my first niche fragrances. So agree le labo, byredo. Gypsy water is ok but nothing exciting. Creed no ugh. I’m not loving mancerra. I know unpopular to say. Their Sicily lemon one is okay, vanillas, holiday was a waste, now I was navitus siesta. Good video. Brave girl!
Just received Chocolate Queen. It was a blind buy and I’m absolutely blown away. It’s gorgeous, I adore it. The dry down on my skin is so warm and luscious. Well done that girl xx
Agree with most of your points, however, I will point out that sometimes, when you're doing business like going to the bank, you want to smell clean & not stand out, because you want them to be focused on your business & not distracted by how great you smell
Idk why but these kind of fragrance videos are my favorite 😂 I like some of the brands you mentioned but it's still interesting to hear different opinions 😊
Le Labo and Frederic Malle are ones of my most beloved houses.😊Love Portrait of a Lady, Down, Carmal Flower, Magnolia, and can continue on and on. But we are all different, I understand your point.
Girl Le labo's another 13 is like my new favorite, perfect clean scent for us in healthcare, Bal D'Afrique too from Byredo, and Creed's Millesime imperial. And i also absolutely love Creed wind flowers, so beautiful .... I completely agree about Fredrick Male, Chanel, Narciso and most Mancera. Their scents don't do it for me either, too heavy on the musk I feel, with the exception of instant crush, it's absolutely gorgeous to my nose. And no I am not at all offended, happy to actually know your thoughts on some of those.🥰
I am in love with most Hermés fragrances, but I guess it has A LOT to do with the climate you live in. Living in Brazil, we just cannot deal with very strong, gourmand, too-sweet-smelling fragrances, we must make do with the freshies, lol.
I agree with most of these, most especially Marc Jacob. Daisy is a bunch if watery flankers in cute bottles. Perfect smells like artificial melted butter for movie popcorn. Because of Perfect, I refuse to blind buy THOO 'What About Pop'. Only Decadence could boost Confidence...Why would they discontinue it?
The only brand you spoke of that I have experience with is Montal and I agree. No matter which one I try I get a plastic scent. Something in the Montal DNA just does not go with my body chemistry.
It might not be your body chemistry, just the fact that its synthetic and feels repulsive on some subconcious level. At least thats my case, cant stand Montale at all
I was so glad to wach this video, thank you. I definitely agree with Narciso Rodriguez. There is just something about their musc, which others seem to adore. On my skin, it is not even okay...when I test any NR, it literary stinks. I wish I could smell what other people can, but alas, it is not happening. As for Prada, nothing special either, maybe it is the iris note on my skin. I guess my skin chemistry is out of tune with these brands.
I agree with you for the most part, but I do really like Frederick Malle Musc Ravengeur…I was surprised by how much I liked the sample I got and I do also like Le Labo 33 and a few others from the brand, but I do think it’s overpriced! You don’t like Windflowers from Creed? I am with you about liking loud projecting/in your face scents
The clean aesthetic is not for me, either. 😂 Creed isn’t too bad. Don’t bother with Another 13. I do like a couple of the Chanels. Sold off most of my Byredos. I pretty much agree on everything you said. Enjoyed this video. 😅
I also don't like Marc Jacobs, those fragrances are so dull, Daisy line is just meh for me and I completely don't get the hype. It would be a torture for me if I would need to use it. I also don't like Hugo Boss, bottles look very run-of-the mill, same with fragrances
Prada paradoxe is amazing on my skin ! Blind bought 2 narcisos and I am with you ! Definitely not my thing ! Waiting for my tester for : chocolate queen , venom of love , cherry punk and sugar leather !!! 😍😍😍😍 can’t wait
Oh, we all have these. I have a few of my own that just don't vibe with me: Chanel, Montale, Mancera, Jean Paul Gaultier, Estee Lauder (just for perfume, I do love some of their make up), Dolce & Gabbana From Prada I only tried Paradox, and I don't like that one. Mancera and Montale are fragrances that smell similar around the brand. I sampled quite a few of them, and like you said, they all share a same strange undertone. Which makes them all very alike, and I don't like any of them.
Spot on. (I'm okay with Narcisso Rodriguez at its price point, and love Coromandel from Chanel.) The other brands that I ignore are Maison Margiela and Tom Ford. The first, I've sampled some at Sephora but the longevity is poor. Some have a chemically sillage, to me. Tom Ford has some winning fragrances, but the price is crazy for what you get.
I love my Narciso fragrances because of the clean smell, but every other house you mentioned, I don’t get the hype behind. I have tried one Mancera and literally gagged. Chanel is a no for me-I agree with your list! Creeds are gross.
regardless if people agree or disagree with you, it's just really cool that you made this video and encouraging for other people to just say what they think without trying to be as diplomatic as possible
I’m liking the video even before watching it, for once someone is willing to share what she hates! Love it! Plus it shouldn’t offend anybody, since we all have our preferences.
I pretty much feel the same as you except I love Narciso Rodriguez. Byredo smells good, but I’m not paying that price for something that doesn’t last past two hours beyond a very faint skin scent.
Oh my God haha, you almost my twin on this. You said ALL the single brands and houses I would mention too, minus Mancera, I do like Mancera and own Roses Vanille for example. :) I agree on all designers too, but I don't buy designers any more because I feel like a waste of money when i can get something else in niche more to my taste and unique. Much love to you ❤
Hello Gabby! I love F. Malle and Chanel, but I agree with the rest. I have only Pulp Byredo, the only fragrance from this brand I love. I hate Memo and Escentric Molecules ( I have an allergy to my skin after the last one).
Ok I have a one for you if you likes lipsticks smille is lipstick rose. It is my last one from this brand as I have sold the others I had. The brand I hâte are: Montale, Mancera, Pacific, Dyptic.
I agree with you 100% Gabi! I don’t care about all the brands you’ve mentioned. It might be because I don’t care about musk/‘clean skin but better’ sort of scents in general.
Hi Gabby! I'm usually agree with you.I don't like Narciso,neither Police,forever hate.But for Chanel,if you want,try Coco Noir and Allure Sensuelle,they're different. By Hermes,Jardin sur le lagune,is not bad for the summer. And Portrait of a lady from Malle,in there is a story going on,it goes well in a (gothic) church,cold roses,very dark,is good,but I prefer John Galliano instead,who was discontinuted. What do you you think about Molinard? I wish you a very lovely day.😘
The only one I like from Narcisso is Pure Musc, it does not smell like the others. Not a fan os Musc Noir Rose either. I truly hate Chanel - as You mentioned, too “classy” for me, it just smells like old ladies.
Very fun to watch this video, Gabby, thank you for sharing! Totally agree about Marc Jacobs. I didn't even like the original Daisy, much less the billion flankers. There are certain perfumes from other houses I like. As a gourmand lover I like Ambre Narguile from Hermes, and also the more recent Jardin de la Lagune. Their fragrances are like watercolors, definitely not in your face or too powerful. From Byredo, I love the smell of Gypsy Water but never got a full bottle coz I thought it was too expensive for what you're getting. Then I found Colette from Tocca, which smells even more gorgeous, lasts longer, and costs a fraction of the price. Problem solved. ;)
I cannot stand the musk of Narciso either, and I always hate Chanel fragrance, it just smells so stuffy to me no matter what fragrance it is from them!
I only like 1 from JHAG , magnolia bliss, and 1 from mancera which is holidays lol it works well on my skin. I de cluttered velvet vanilla it got harsher the longer I had it, it’s a bit too strong. I agree with you on Marc jacobs perfumes I tried a lot and I only like Perfect, i don’t understand why people like daisy???? Yukkk lol as for Chanel I do like coco mademoisel but I don’t love it and I like chance eau vive, Gabrielle essence smells weird I just don’t get why it’s so popular??
Dont come for me everyone . . And sorry to the brand but . . I don’t like Teo carbanel . . I’m on the fence with cafe cabanel . . The rest I don’t like . . They remind me of the printer ink when I was a child .. and narcisco Rodriguez fragrances give me the a headache . . They’re too musk heavy 😮
Parfums de Marly - delina exclusif is nice and Safanad. But I find the rest to smell like synthetic, schreechy headache inducing dollar store bath bombs. Zoologist- most of them are nor wearable. Creed- overrated, boring, overpriced. The vast majority of designer fragrance brands like Viktor & Rolf, Ellie Saab, gucci, DKNY, Carolina Herera etc. It just does nothing for me.
Thank God, I thought I was the only one. I though maybe I don't have a sophisticated nose. I do have Channel because it is nostalgic for me, it was my first grown up perfume when I was 15 :)
Evan thought you and I have very different tastes (you like more sweet and gourmand , I like white floral, oriental and ambers) You started off just like me! I have a huge collection of more than 500 bottle and don't have any Narciso Rodriguez, Marc Jacobs or Chanel 😄,I do have couple of Hermes but one is a white floral and the other is an amber,so not really the style for you 😉 I also don't have any Gucci or Guerlain, and only 1 from Lancome (the boutique line) and 1 from Armani because most of them don't wow me.
Haha and I love NR Musk Noir, it's like fresh laundry to me 😄 It's not my top 10 but still, a nice scent :) I agree about Chanel, Creed for women is also not my cup of tea. Le labo 33- I asked my husband not to wear it, because I smelled dill&cucumbers and I couldn't stand it 🤣
Hello Gabby, I wouldn't say I hate specific brands, it's more specific fragrance notes I find challenging. If the fragrance notes are in the over all DNA of the house, I may steer clear of a house or style of perfumery. That being said, I often can be pleasantly surprised when I do give fragrance houses a chance. Often the exclusive lines are much more interesting than the basic mainstream offerings when it comes to designer perfumes. Unfortunately they are usually double the price. 😅 I like a range of fragrance styles and strengths. Different things for different times, occasions, moods, weather, seasons and time of day. I like some of the vintage fragrance DNA, but I can also appreciate some of the more modern niche offerings. Thanks for sharing your opinion. I respect your honesty about your preferences. We can all like different things and not take it personally. I think everyone can have the right to change their mind and opinion. Thanks for your video! ~ Jenn
We understand exactly what you mean. I hated Chanel 5 and I stayed away from the brand for years. I wasn’t even trying their new release until I got Mademoiselle eau de parfum as a gift. After that I broke the habit not to approach Chanel stands. And start trying all the releases. Until I found Chanel Chance eau tendre EDP. And I fell in love with it. I don’t like anything else from the brand.
“Hate” is a strong word and as an influencer I would be cautious of that 🤷🏼♀️ p.s perfume tastes change two years ago I would never wear TF black orchid and now I love it never say never I guess
Agree. Hate is a strong word. Especially when speaking about some really big creations and master artists behind them. For me it feels like lacking respect, sorry but it’s true. I understand we are all different but choosing the words carefully is the key.
I keep returning to chanel to see if something changes for me. But every time I also find them too classical and similar vibes like classy old style. Not my thing. I really want to buy your fragrance but shipping to New Zealand is quite high. 😢😢😢
I agree with you about a LOT of these 🙂 I think a lot of these brands have what I think of as quite "classic" perfumery style (Chanel, Hermes, Frederic Malle) and I just don't like these either. I also am so bored by Narciso and his billion flankers (definitely giving Marc a run for his money). The only one I disagree on here is Byredo - I love Pulp, Sundazed and Flowerhead in particular.
There is a lot of high quality Mancera perfumes. Surprisingly not a lot of people talk about their «dupes» of other very popular perfumes but with much better projection.
LOL I agree with ALL of your choices! I want to add I particularly despise Byredo, Le Labo, and Xerjoff. I really tried to like Xerjoff but I find their perfumes too screechy.
Hi Gabby, I know your channel is about perfume, and that's why I like it. But could you write in the info box what kind of makeup you wear? I think the lipstick you are wearing is so beautiful, but I don't dare to ask what color / brand it is because I know you hate those questions. Thank you
Sniff Chanel Misia from their exclusif line this one is amazing and if you don’t like this one I will genuinely be shocked it smells like expensive lipstick and a sexy woman everyone wants to be. It’s my signature scent.
There are some perfumes that I never see any youtuber reviewing like the Chanels, the Marc Jacobs, except for Divine decadence(absolutely wonderful) and Decadence, Lelabos, Frederic Malles except Portrait of a Lady (which I love ) and some others that you mention. In regards to Creed, I think people do not pass from Aventus. So to tell you, I don't gravitate to any of these. I do not care about the hype or if any of them make a new one. I do not care. I know myself and I am going to buy what I love.
I agree with you on all of them :-). I'd like to add Montale. I have only one from them (Chocolate Greedy), and it's the only one that doesn't smell chemical. I only bought it, because I just love chocolate. I don't think I'll ever have anything from Armani Privé. I just don't jive with any of the scents.
U know I used to love Chanel when I wore predominately designer fragrances but I fell out of love with them since I started getting into Niche.. I have a few Chanel fragrances and I have to force myself to wear them now
Personally I don’t care for Jimmy Choo, Carolina Herrera, Giorgio Armani (except Gioia line) and Valentino. They just don’t do anything to me and I find the brands tacky.
i love all the narcisso except musc rose...the one you like a little. Chanel no 19...no 5 l'eau, Gabrielle, fab. Prada la femme, essence of Iris, very chic, Hermes un jardin sur le nil, very distinctive. and complex....amazing holiday vibe........so now i know not to tune in as we have very differdnt taste most of my pyrchases and favourites recommended by Jus de Rose ( josephine) who has a perfume degree. love your accent though
I have to agree with you on Mancera. Although I do have the same problem with Montale. They all smell very synthetic and cheap on me. ESPECIALLY their rose scents.
FINALLY!!!! Now, I know I am not the only way that feels this way about these brands!!! Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud! 🙏🏾
❤️
OMG I fully agree with you....especially about Narcisso...
Oh my God. I blind bought musk noir rose and return it the next day . I can’t stand Narsisco Rodriguez fragrances. And for Chanel daughter bought me Gabrielle Chanel, I’m keeping it for her and layer it with other fragrances but not a like. Thank you for sharing this😍
I agree with you I hated Narciso Rodriguez Musc Noir it's bad immediately returned it. Musc Noir Rose is still tolerable but not a like, and I blind bought pure musc 😢 straight up hate, bye bye Narciso

Thank you so much❤️
Agree with most of your points, however, I will point out that sometimes, when you're doing business like going to the bank, you want to smell clean & not stand out, because you want them to be focused on your business & not distracted by how great you smell
I could never imagine this. I have never said “I’d rather not stand out” 😂 please be distracted by how good I smell 🌚
@seansimmons73 I absolutely agree! There are many occasions where a strong/loud fragrance is not appropriate or classy!
Idk why but these kind of fragrance videos are my favorite 😂 I like some of the brands you mentioned but it's still interesting to hear different opinions 😊
😅❤️
Totally agree with you girl!
Ha, same here! 😄
Yes yes yes! Someone had to say it about Daisy! I never ever got what the big deal is about them. Same thoughts as you on the Prada & Chanel as well.
Frederic Malle is incredible. Love each and every perfume. Portrait of a lady is breathtaking.
Are those Perris bottles behind you?
Are there samples of Chocolate Queen to test it first?
Personally I hate : Roja, Killian, Mancera, Montale, Francis Kurkdjian, Dior, BDK, Le Labo.
Le Labo and Frederic Malle are ones of my most beloved houses.😊Love Portrait of a Lady, Down, Carmal Flower, Magnolia, and can continue on and on. But we are all different, I understand your point.
Girl Le labo's another 13 is like my new favorite, perfect clean scent for us in healthcare, Bal D'Afrique too from Byredo, and Creed's Millesime imperial. And i also absolutely love Creed wind flowers, so beautiful ....

I am in love with most Hermés fragrances, but I guess it has A LOT to do with the climate you live in. Living in Brazil, we just cannot deal with very strong, gourmand, too-sweet-smelling fragrances, we must make do with the freshies, lol.
Hermes Jardin Sur la Lagune is the best salty floral which is beast mode also. MUST TRY!!! You're really missing out. Very unique
I agree with most of these, most especially Marc Jacob. Daisy is a bunch if watery flankers in cute bottles. Perfect smells like artificial melted butter for movie popcorn. Because of Perfect, I refuse to blind buy THOO 'What About Pop'. Only Decadence could boost Confidence...Why would they discontinue it?
The only brand you spoke of that I have experience with is Montal and I agree. No matter which one I try I get a plastic scent. Something in the Montal DNA just does not go with my body chemistry.
It might not be your body chemistry, just the fact that its synthetic and feels repulsive on some subconcious level. At least thats my case, cant stand Montale at all
Narciso Rodriguez fragrances are sooo hyped now and all of their fragrances that I tried were underwhelming.
I was so glad to wach this video, thank you. I definitely agree with Narciso Rodriguez. There is just something about their musc, which others seem to adore. On my skin, it is not even okay...when I test any NR, it literary stinks. I wish I could smell what other people can, but alas, it is not happening. As for Prada, nothing special either, maybe it is the iris note on my skin. I guess my skin chemistry is out of tune with these brands.
I so DISLIKE Narciso Rodriguez. A NO for me.
You said it, it’s the musk.
What do you think of Ellis Brooklyn? We both love gourmands but I cant understand vanilla milk
Good for you Gabby! I don’t agree with all of these but you go girl. I appreciate hearing your real opinion.
I agree on Le Labo. I only found one as ok but they were way too woody for me.
I agree with you for the most part, but I do really like Frederick Malle Musc Ravengeur…I was surprised by how much I liked the sample I got and I do also like Le Labo 33 and a few others from the brand, but I do think it’s overpriced! You don’t like Windflowers from Creed? I am with you about liking loud projecting/in your face scents
you forgot Aqua di Parma in the list
I got decants last week of Portrait of Lady, and Musc Ravageur. I like both of them. I did not like Carnal Flower, I've given up on tuberose.
The clean aesthetic is not for me, either. 😂 Creed isn’t too bad. Don’t bother with Another 13. I do like a couple of the Chanels. Sold off most of my Byredos. I pretty much agree on everything you said. Enjoyed this video. 😅
Love the video ❤
I also don't like Marc Jacobs, those fragrances are so dull, Daisy line is just meh for me and I completely don't get the hype. It would be a torture for me if I would need to use it. I also don't like Hugo Boss, bottles look very run-of-the mill, same with fragrances
Prada paradoxe is amazing on my skin ! Blind bought 2 narcisos and I am with you ! Definitely not my thing !
Waiting for my tester for : chocolate queen , venom of love , cherry punk and sugar leather !!! 😍😍😍😍 can’t wait
OMG! I don't like a single PRADA scent ! And surely not the latest copycat PARADOX !
Such an honest woman. Respect 😎
❤️
Oh, we all have these. I have a few of my own that just don't vibe with me:
Chanel, Montale, Mancera, Jean Paul Gaultier, Estee Lauder (just for perfume, I do love some of their make up), Dolce & Gabbana

Totally agree about Marc Jacobs. they need to just stop with the flankers.
Gabby you should try Gabrielle Essence one day. Your name on the bottle! It's beautiful really. ❤
Spot on. (I'm okay with Narcisso Rodriguez at its price point, and love Coromandel from Chanel.) The other brands that I ignore are Maison Margiela and Tom Ford. The first, I've sampled some at Sephora but the longevity is poor. Some have a chemically sillage, to me. Tom Ford has some winning fragrances, but the price is crazy for what you get.
Agree with you about Le Labo & Fredric Malle, I'm also not into Tom Ford, Nishane and Roja.
I love my Narciso fragrances because of the clean smell, but every other house you mentioned, I don’t get the hype behind. I have tried one Mancera and literally gagged. Chanel is a no for me-I agree with your list! Creeds are gross.
regardless if people agree or disagree with you, it's just really cool that you made this video and encouraging for other people to just say what they think without trying to be as diplomatic as possible
Love this video. Love your honesty. You would be a super fun daughter in law!
😆 similar here ......exception byredo....byredo has 2-3 scents that i like. At creed i like "aventus for her".....the others are not my cup of tea.
I’m liking the video even before watching it, for once someone is willing to share what she hates! Love it! Plus it shouldn’t offend anybody, since we all have our preferences.
ha ha , I like this : ''BOOM! - in your face!'' attitude ! :)
I pretty much feel the same as you except I love Narciso Rodriguez. Byredo smells good, but I’m not paying that price for something that doesn’t last past two hours beyond a very faint skin scent.

Hi Gabby, could you please please do a haircare video? Your hair always looks amazing ❤
I’ve so many perfume from ur recommendations and I love them so much!🫶🏻 and chocolate Queen is my no 1 fave💕
NR the rectangular bottles don't work with my skin ,on the other hand the cubes are gorgeous,But Hermis i love love love
i LOVE my CHANELS girl....i am super excited for the latest release PARIS-PARIS....but i totally agree for the rest :)
Dont come for me everyone . . And sorry to the brand but . . I don’t like Teo carbanel . . I’m on the fence with cafe cabanel . . The rest I don’t like . . They remind me of the printer ink when I was a child .. and narcisco Rodriguez fragrances give me the a headache . . They’re too musk heavy 😮
Parfums de Marly - delina exclusif is nice and Safanad. But I find the rest to smell like synthetic, schreechy headache inducing dollar store bath bombs.
Zoologist- most of them are nor wearable.
Creed- overrated, boring, overpriced.
The vast majority of designer fragrance brands like Viktor & Rolf, Ellie Saab, gucci, DKNY, Carolina Herera etc. It just does nothing for me.
Hear you girl! Agree. I do love Prada paradox 😊
Thank God, I thought I was the only one. I though maybe I don't have a sophisticated nose. I do have Channel because it is nostalgic for me, it was my first grown up perfume when I was 15 :)

I am EXACTLY the same as you Gabby, all of these brands do not interest me at all.
I agree with almost every choice of yours, except maybe Hermes. I like the Jardin-line.
P.s. I also hope that Dior ”finds themselves” again.
Hello Gabby,

I hate Navitus parfums they are the only niche fragrances I can't stand
“Hate” is a strong word and as an influencer I would be cautious of that 🤷🏼♀️ p.s perfume tastes change two years ago I would never wear TF black orchid and now I love it never say never I guess
Agree. Hate is a strong word. Especially when speaking about some really big creations and master artists behind them. For me it feels like lacking respect, sorry but it’s true. I understand we are all different but choosing the words carefully is the key.
Honesty is the best policy! 💛💯
I keep returning to chanel to see if something changes for me. But every time I also find them too classical and similar vibes like classy old style. Not my thing.
I really want to buy your fragrance but shipping to New Zealand is quite high. 😢😢😢
Amouage is my house 😢hate everything I’ve tried ❤
I agree with you about a LOT of these 🙂 I think a lot of these brands have what I think of as quite "classic" perfumery style (Chanel, Hermes, Frederic Malle) and I just don't like these either. I also am so bored by Narciso and his billion flankers (definitely giving Marc a run for his money). The only one I disagree on here is Byredo - I love Pulp, Sundazed and Flowerhead in particular.
I agree with you. I'm adding Chloe too
I walk by all of those myself, except for NR. That house I like. But the others…🤢especially Chanel!
Your camera/video quality has improved so much!
There is a lot of high quality Mancera perfumes. Surprisingly not a lot of people talk about their «dupes» of other very popular perfumes but with much better projection.
What are some of your favorites?
I GOT YOU PERFUME LOVE IT YOU DID AN AWSOME CREATION DONT QUIT I WATCH YOU ALL THE TIME
LOL I agree with ALL of your choices! I want to add I particularly despise Byredo, Le Labo, and Xerjoff. I really tried to like Xerjoff but I find their perfumes too screechy.
Feel the same!
Although I have a few ByRedo I do like ..
Oh my Goodness Gabby you just said it straight 😂 can’t be mad at your honesty
I hate Juliette Has A Gun... all of the fragrances...😂
Yes and what kind of name is that 😂
Narciso Rodriguez I agree except the Rose Noir which I'm contemplating. Byredo - Bal D'afrique I want to try. Everything else I agree
Hi Gabby, I know your channel is about perfume, and that's why I like it. But could you write in the info box what kind of makeup you wear? I think the lipstick you are wearing is so beautiful, but I don't dare to ask what color / brand it is because I know you hate those questions. Thank you
Sniff Chanel Misia from their exclusif line this one is amazing and if you don’t like this one I will genuinely be shocked it smells like expensive lipstick and a sexy woman everyone wants to be. It’s my signature scent.
Same opinion, these brands just a bit too meh for me well except Perfect Intense MJ 😅😊! You look gorgeous too 🥰
I don't like Chanel perfumes at all.
Overhyped patchouli mess. Outdated & overpriced. Pretty bottles.
Marc Jacobs ordinary, forgettable
There are some perfumes that I never see any youtuber reviewing like the Chanels, the Marc Jacobs, except for Divine decadence(absolutely wonderful) and Decadence, Lelabos, Frederic Malles except Portrait of a Lady (which I love ) and some others that you mention. In regards to Creed, I think people do not pass from Aventus. So to tell you, I don't gravitate to any of these. I do not care about the hype or if any of them make a new one. I do not care. I know myself and I am going to buy what I love.
Try hermes vetiver tonka for every day. I love this one
I will❤️
I agree with EVERYTHING you have said! All the brands you mentioned - I feel the same way!
I agree with you on all of them :-). I'd like to add Montale. I have only one from them (Chocolate Greedy), and it's the only one that doesn't smell chemical. I only bought it, because I just love chocolate. I don't think I'll ever have anything from Armani Privé. I just don't jive with any of the scents.
U know I used to love Chanel when I wore predominately designer fragrances but I fell out of love with them since I started getting into Niche.. I have a few Chanel fragrances and I have to force myself to wear them now
Personally I don’t care for Jimmy Choo, Carolina Herrera, Giorgio Armani (except Gioia line) and Valentino. They just don’t do anything to me and I find the brands tacky.
i love all the narcisso except musc rose...the one you like a little. Chanel no 19...no 5 l'eau, Gabrielle, fab. Prada la femme, essence of Iris, very chic, Hermes un jardin sur le nil, very distinctive. and complex....amazing holiday vibe........so now i know not to tune in as we have very differdnt taste most of my pyrchases and favourites recommended by Jus de Rose ( josephine) who has a perfume degree. love your accent though
Butt hurt 😂
Apart from ONE perfume from Chanel ... Coco ( 1984 ) I agree with EVERYTHING in this video !! 😁😍
I m agree total. The drydown ist horrible to me for all of them🤔🤔🤔
You’re eye make up in this video is 🔥
