    My take aways from this review:
    “Scented water”
    “It’s an interesting I don’t want to smell like” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    “I’ll just save my money”
    “Actually you can come for me” 💀
    “I really want that bottle, do I need it? NO”
    “Things with an s”
    You’re blunt and state YOUR opinion but not as facts!! And that’s the difference. Always appreciate your honesty boo! 😘

    So this is my humble opinion, i feel that if you are a true perfume lover and collector you appreciate all perfume. I have noticed that the people that love niche are usually the ones leaving bad comments and arguing about perfumes. Niche is not always better, but.. i see that it opened the door to a certain person to have a lil bit of fame, and everyone that follows either wants the same, or wants to be acknowledged by that person in hopes to be the next star on you tube and social media. But that’s that persons luck! and while those people are living life and enjoying themselves, we are here getting influenced to buy $400 dollar “unique” weird smelling skin scents to help make other ppl rich. Don’t forget ppl that our parents rich or poor would wear designer, celebrity, etc.. and that was not a issue and it should not be, and now in 2020 we are blessed to enjoy niche, but to say it is better and to try to school the rest of us, please save it. We rather spend those $400 to put food on the table and save it to help out our kids go to college. I wanna smell good, and that should be the goal with perfumes no matter where it comes from. The End ✨💁🏻‍♀️

      Wish I could like your comment more than once. Not sure who you are referring to but.... I have started to stop watching any videos that is a haul of niche or focus on niche as I will not shell out so much money on something that can pay my rent - live in the Caribbean so exchange rate. Also, it seems like a status thing nowadays so people can feel like they're richer than others and so fabulous that they can buy niche, which later they're decluttering bc they're not reaching for these fragrances. I see this smugness that comes off in some peoples video.

When i first started collecting, what was fun for me is finding those deals, mixing and matching celebrity, and niche, and designer.

    I ADORE Metallique. Here's the thing: it lasts two-three hours on me at best and it has no projection. I tried layering it on moisturizer, even putting a little amount of lip balm behind my ears (I heard someone saying oils and vaseline/beeswax locks perfume longer on skin). Again, it doesn't last. And for that price skin scent shouldn't be a thing. The idea of spending more money on fragrance is to get better ingredients/performance, right? Here's also another unpopular opinion: I have designer fragrances that smell more unique and perform better than some niche stuff I've tried. And yes, performance in general is something very personal because of skin chemistry, but there are fragrances in general that people vastly agree that are performance monsters. Also, do not apologize for your opinion. If someone can label all time bestsellers as being tacky, then you can totally say that some pricier fragrances are overrated. 🙂

Bleu Lazuli is good but feels a bit familiar as well. Vert is the only one that screams unique and niche blend to me enough to spend $300 on it. Great video! 💕

    You're absolutely right- never blind-buy niche fragrances. They should perform well on your skin. No one should come for you; everyone's skin chemistry is different. My rule is not to blind-buy any fragrances, but especially niche fragrances. I did that once and regretted buying this expensive bottle so I sold it. You're absolutely right- niche fragrances must perform well in longetivity and projection. I've tried Herod (decant), after several fragrance reviewere sung its praises. It is definitely masculine. The most prominent notes on my skin are tobacco, vanilla, cedar and a flora note. It's definitely floral on my skin. It's supposed to be this beast-mode fragrance but it didn't last long on my skin. Layton (decant) had the same issue. I bought Carlisle and it's one if my most complimented fragrances. The blue beast- Interlude Man turned out to be burnt herb mix that vanished after about an hour. I love Beach Hut Man but it's definitely a classy, barbershop-style scent. Amouage has a few new fragrances after Interlude Man Black Iris that I am willing to try. Metallique was also not good on my skin.

    Jimmy Choo Illicit is one of my favourite easy-reach perfumes. It’s got the right amount of sweetness for me. Another one that gives me a similar vibe is YSL Cinema (my bottle is about 6 years old so can’t vouch for the newer ones). So easy to wear all year round (I live in the tropics btw).
