This is the truth. Videos like are what set you apart. You bring honesty and provide people with a reality check. You'll hear people on here say things like "Aventus is everywhere," but people in the real world have rarely heard of it. Folks forget where in a echo chamber designed to sell you a product.
Just like Cubaknow always says, "Don't trust me trust your skin". Great video Melissa.
Live in Vegas and my car was getting worked on and forgot my Savauge edp in the car was parked outside in the heat in the summer and when I got my car back I can confirm that shit will cook your fragrance 😂
All this has to do with our noses too Melissa. We all pick up scent molecules and chemicals differently. What might smell woody to me will smell moldy to you and so on. Involuntary scent associations are also a thing. Whats citrusy, fresh beach vibes to me is window cleaner to you. I bought Montale Black Aoud back when performance was the only factor for me (lol) and its one of the strongest fragrances on the market apparently. Its a medicinal rose-oud. Everyone tells stories of how overpowering it is, that it lasts 16 hours+ and 1 spray is enough. Its not only a few people making such claims eighter but i can barely pick up the scent. Turns out, i cannot smell OUD properly. Coconut is also a note that i find gag-inducing and cloying.
I've come across a bunch of fragrances that i could barely smell even freshly sprayed and upclose, Bvlgari Man in Black for example. Moschino Toy Boy and Montale's Starry Nights are another two examples of different perceptions. Many claim they are masculine, to my nose they smell 90% feminine.
In the end, you are right, its not on the fragrance, its on us how it works on our skin and how our nose/brain translates that scent. The main reason im not quick to disagree with people on their opinions is thats how THEY perceive it, they might be objectively wrong but that doesn't mean that they lie.
Normally she's full of it, but she's right about this one.
Very good points! People need to try frags for themself. I saw your vid on F'uking Fabulous. The new FF just came out and I bought a decant. I was just like you on it. I thought it waa nice but passed. Then I tried the new FF and after wearing.it grew on me. I love it personally. The new FF IMO is sexier and has a slightly new feel.
Thank you. I've learned so much about fragrance since I got into it 1 year ago this February.
My collection stays in my hallway closet with the door shut.
I'm much better about moisturizing my skin than I ever was before.
I also found out a thin smear of vaseline helps with longevity as well..
I have 3 default spray points. Stomach, chest, back of neck.
With certain fragrances, chest and back of neck only.
My collection remains between 20-21 bottles. I rotate out stuff I don't wear much, when I buy new product.
And, I rarely, if ever, wear the same fragrance twice in a row.
If u wanna know if a fragrance project spray it on a shirt a leave it hanging over a chair fragrance side up a don’t pay anymore attention to it . Guarantee u walk back by that shirt later on an u catch a whiff . Thats the same as someone catching a whiff of u when u walk by. If u never catch a whiff then most likely that fragrance just doesn’t project an is kinda weak
Lol for real tho, “would you wear a leather jacket to the beach?” Common sense isn’t common. Love your vids. Tysm again for bringing Day Three to my attention. It’s been a while since I’ve been so obsessed with a fragrance line. I can’t wait to see what their new release will be 🥰
You're very vocal on this topic. Yeah I'm using fabric refresher as fragrance but you do have good points. Also, I do use your spray routine from time to time.
And yet a compliment when I do it. Thank you so very much.
I was trying to explain this very same thing to a guy in a comments section that was having performance issues with a BR540 clone lol one of the most notorious DNA's for people going nose blind 😂😂
Well said, your videos are inspiring ! Keep up the good work and dropping them GEMS!! 🤞🏾
Appreciate you!
I agree with most of your points… however a lot of fragrances I’ve purchased from discounters, jomashop specifically , the fragrance performs very poorly… this has happened multiple times..leads me to believe that maybe the frags they get are defective in some way (bad batches, old stock etc) there’s always a reason why things are cheaper … department stores have no problem selling these fragrances at retail prices, why sell on a discounters for half the price… I’ve bought a few on discounters that perform fine too, just beware.
I’ve bought Lafayette st, Layton, and noir extreme PARFUM from Joma and the performance is non existent…
I’ve made a video about why it’s cheaper. Simply put they buy in bulk (anything in bulk is always cheaper) then they set it to a reasonable price where they can still make profit. Interesting about your other scents though. Got Lafayette from them and it’s perfect. You just might be noseblind
Absolute facts
I recall you asking us if you should review more Arabian fragrances. Perhaps you could review Swiss Arabian Shagaf Oud line and the WAAW heritage line.
You tell 'em girl ❤
Lol i went “nose blind” after showering in Xerjoff Naxos.. 😂😂 total rookie mistake
All facts, using fragrance out of season too.

Can scents be AI generated?
Fragrance hot take❌
Fragrance PSA ✅
I get pretty good performance from most of my fragrances, but as for some ysl having an alcohol smell I smell it hours later on a y fragrance, doesn't bother me though.
Also I never buy from discounters and I'm very careful where I buy samples.
It's a phobia I have of buying fakes, watered down or older fragrance.
I'd rather wait for a sale and use reward money from a retail store than buy the cheapest option.
There are great sales from non discounters Armani is having buy one get one free plus free samples right now.
But a hot car, bad storage, dry skin, body heat, where you spray you're right on those.
Also my own theory, people who are 60 plus have worse performance since less body heat and less sense of smell.
I don't think we have to agree on everything.
totally agree
Not even a Hot take but a common sense take. Educate yourself people so common sense doesn’t become a hot take 😮💨
Idk how anyone could consider these hot takes, just sounds like common sense 😅
What’s common sense to a small amount of people in this hobby doesn’t translate to a majority of people lol
Some people are busy with other things like business and they dont have any idea about other things like this..not everything is answered with common sense.
Common sense is not applied in everything.some people ere good in diff things,some are focus in diff things,busy in other things,no idea in othe things.
How dare you call out my cheesy oud, I take my chip notes seriously
I get compliments on all the fragrance I wear fresh out the shower with Mandatory activity soap company out of Crofton,Maryland beast mode
Speaking big facts!!
People skip showers and spray cologne on 😂😂😂 Super Weird
Hey Melissa ! Can you make a video on the new formulation of Carlisle and Layton because I know the old ones u told us about are magnificent but the new 82 percent and 81 percent alcohol Carlisle and Layton don’t smell as good can you sample the new ones and review it / compare it to the old ones please ?
❤️🫶❤️
😂 🤣 this is gold
👍
Also do you think it’s worth buying a Carlisle bottle from 2018 or do u think by now it’s no longer good because I want the older formulations
