I am coming for these people who gripe about pronunciations.. oh hell no. These folks need to spend more time worrying about their own manners and how to not be obnoxious ****s. You do an amazing job and I am so grateful for all the great content you make for us!💗💗💗
I'm coming with you 😂 you'd think after all this time they'd let it go & just enjoy the content.l really don't care about how to pronounce it ,I can google that myself lol 😆 I just want to know DOES it smell good 😉
Amen sister! I’m with you! I get so flustered by subscriber comments directed to any content creator telling them they pronounced something wrong, or “there’s an app for that..” blah blah lol you do this for fun because you love perfume. This isn’t a “how to pronounce” video. If they want to learn how to pronounce things- they need to do the research. Not you.. You’re awesome:) have a good Sunday !!🥰
I like reading the notes on the screen much better! I also don't care at all if you can't pronounce some of the perfume names...so petty that anyone would be irritated by that. You give great reviews, and have turned me on to so many great perfumes I wouldn't have known about otherwise. Thank you!!!
Hi Sarah !!! My favorite discontinued: Fendi Fendi, (men's and women's) Ralph Lauren Tuxedo, Jean Patou Pour un Homme, Missoni Uoumo and Femme,( original )Shalimar Parfum Initial, JPG 2, L de Lolita Lempicka, EL Amber Nude, EL Celedon, Madonna Naked, SJP Stash, DK Black Cashmere, Nino Cerruti Nino (original), Halston 101, Guerlain Parure, JPG Kokorico, Calvin Klein (original red box), Balmain Carbone, Galanos (original), .... Serge Lutens Filles de Anguilles.....OMG....let me stop now !!! LOL....there are more !!! I like the words on the screen....thumbs up !!! Have a great weekend!! xoxo
One of my favorite discontinued scents that you can probably still find online is Bvlgari Black! I am hunting for the actual 1998 formulation! Not a safe blind-buy
I really apreciate the names and the notes you added in the video. Sometime when I had to rewatch some of your videos and short of time (life you know...), it goes faster to follow the perfumes you talking in the moment. Thanks!
Sarah, I was wondering if you could talk about experiencing perfumes going 'off' and how we can know when this happens. I've noticed with some newer fragrances they go bad faster than older classics, and wonder why this is? I know some use a vegan formula now, and wonder if that has something to do with it?
I have like less than 10 sprays in my original Miss Dior Cherie from like 12 years ago. I still love it!😭😫I wish they would do a limited release, at least.
I did pick up a bottle of John Paul Gaultier 2, on Mercari, not too expensive, recently. I also discovered Alien Essence Absolute after it was discontinued, so scoured the Internet to find bottles and paid the premium. Also got the Fracas dupe Madonna Truth or Dare, which I know you don’t like but I love it. Did find Madonna Truth or Dare Naked on a Canadian website. I love Alien but hate the reformulation so scoured the Internet and found older bottles. Blind bought Insolence yesterday on Mercari or ebay.
Guerlain Initial was re released...it's crazy what they want for it. Luckily I own 2 of the older bottles like yours :) I was looking for Midnight Dior...paid up the a** for it :( I really want The taste of fragrance, but I'm not wiling to pay what they're asking for a 1oz bottle.
I'm so envious of your bottle of Midnight Poison. I recently bought a dupe from Dua and it's pretty good. I just couldn't bring myself to pay the inflated prices on Ebay. I own a 10ml of MP and I have the same bottle of Poison that you have. Guerlain Ideal Cologne is so good. It's a modern classic
@@SarahMayes -Yes it's really good! I didn't expect to like it but I was pleasantly surprised. Thank you for this video and all your efforts to bring such good content.
Good choices. So many! I loved Xia Xiang as a teen but Sensi is the one that hurt the most lol. Also Deneuve was a chypre I found interesting. Some of the SJP ones like Twilight I miss too.
I think sometimes it can be hard to tell if a fragrance is no longer be big produced or if it’s just not being sold in certain retail markets. I have some amazing discontinued gems in my collection and I treasure them so much. Quite a few of them are Mugler fragrances. I was able to find a bottle of L’Homme Ideal Cologne for a great price last week and it is amazing. I am so glad I picked it up.
Crabtree&Evelyn was a company my friend liked years back i think she had Island Night but it was a really elegant floral beach scent.... I wish gucci brought back Gucci II & Gucci I- they had heavy glass caps!! OK, not sure if anybody remembers this I used to get this spray called pink innocencia by sonia kashuk. It was a GORGEOUS floral bouquet. I may even buy a bottle if I can find for memory sake. OH, and the original marc jacobs marc jacobs for women perfume was probably the best gardenia perfume at the time that it came out. Soo much better than Kai, I dont know why they ever stopped making it
All of those Sonia Kashuk scents were quite special. I used to adore the Yellow Alluriana 💛 version. It picked up my spirits whenever it was down and sad. I also read that it was one of Cindy Crawford's favorite perfumes.
Hi Sarah, I don't mind you putting the notes on the screen but they went by so fast I couldn't read all of them, lol :o) I would suggest leaving them up through the entire discussion of that particular scent. Also, I love most when you describe what you are actually smelling, as you do. Often times the notes are blended in such a way that they don't always tell the scent story. Thank you! Julia
If you could leave the notes a bit longer on the screen that would be great! Also, my eyes are not what they used to be, If possible, could the words be a bit larger? Thanks Sarah. Both your channels are soooo great. Appreciate all your time you put in to them. 😊
The 2012 miss Dior! Omg i smells devine with Egyptian jasmine and manderine. Anyone know any dupes??? .. Omg! the Bvlgari notte is amazing!!! The Champagne YSL. BYZANCE just beautiful perfumes that i wish they would bring back! The prices are exploitive! compared to what i used to pay fo these. Dupes please!!😫😫😫
Beautiful collection Sarah!I had finally found Love Chloe, after searching for it for about a year. What a gorgeous fragrance, it is one the lasts all day!!
Sarah, Thank you so much for this video! I love getting a heads on fragrances that are going to be discontinued or already are. Gives us a chance to pick them up before the prices skyrocket! I also love that you butcher pronouncing some of the perfume names😂😂😂I don’t feel so alone because I butcher quite a few myself. As for the perfume snobs that get upset with you...Girl, you just keep doing Sarah! We love you just the way you are❤️😊❤️
I can't believe someone is triggered by you not pronouncing the names properly and they tell you to go Google the correct pronunciation. WTH?! LMAO! Sounds like someone has far too much time on their hands and not enough *real* problems to be bothered by something so benign. How petty?! Anyway...I'm really curious about JB The Key. Too bad it's been discontinued :-(( Have a great weekend ♥
My fav discontinued ones are Ghost Serenity and Ralph Laure Polo Sport for women. I have spent a lifetime trying to find a good dupe but alas no luck. 😭😭😭
Loved the video !! I live in Havana and I just saw two Shalimar Parfum Initial in a store, same place also sales Delices de Cartier edt and the prices are pretty economic !! There are some Lolitas Lempickas too, I believe L by Lolita Lempicka, Si edt and Elle l’aime. Cuba is a huge museum of discontinued fragrances.
I’m so lucky I still have some discontinued gems and I’ve found some that I’ve always wanted to rebuy. My only regret is not buying a backup of Stella Rose Absolute
you are one hard-working mama!! you go! 🍸🍸 holy cow I wish I had 90% of those!!! miller harris terre d'iris I heard is getting more & more obsolete Illuminum bottles are disappearing too.. so depressing :// spparfums made such gems! Wish they would come back 😃
Hi Sarah, thank you so much for sharing. I also adore Miss Dior Cherie and the 2017 version is nothing like this one. I really hope that I can magically find this unicorn 🙏💖
Aww Sarah you had me at midnight poison this was one of my all time favourite scents, virtually impossible to find it now in the UK unless you want to pay £300 pounds for a half bottle which i just wouldn't pay xx
@Iona Heathcote - I agree. I'm in the UK too and the asking price for MP is just too expensive. I'm making do with a 10ml and a dupe from Dua. I'm an "original only" type of woman but the Dua is very good.
Hi Sarah, notes on the screen is a great idea, leaves more time for your excellent descriptions. I was wondering if you've done a review on Marc Jacobs, Perfect. The bottle is sort of silly and cute, but I really like the simplicity of the juice. The rhubarb note is very pretty.
I panicked when I heard Nahema was going to be discontinued! It is one of my favorites perfumes ever! But then I saw Guerlain was bringing it back, reformulated of course.
Midnight Poison is such a treasure. It is so perfect, it is a cerebral patchouli for people who *think* they hate patchouli. The prices are crazy on eBay, but even with such prices, there are so many fakes floating around. I read that it was discontinued because the makers sold a similar formula/notes to YSL as "Elle." Not sure if it is true. Looks like Armani is notorious for discontinuing frags. I think they recently discontinued Code Cashmere.
Hi Sarah, I love your videos I watch them all the time. I have to vote and say that I prefer when you read the notes because when they are on the screen the print is so tiny sometimes you can't read it and it goes too fast. Thanks!
Oscar de la Renta Ruffles, Isabella Rossellini Manifesto, Cindy Crawford and JLo Glow - it hurt me to see them go. Especially the Manifesto. It was pretty expensive at first but it lasted for such a long time and smelled amazing, they made a cheaper version of it and it was basically ruined. It didn't sell so the perfume just disappeared. A brand that went AWOL and it still bugs me is Un Monde Nouveau. Their Cherry Cherie (cherry&musk) was perfection in a bottle.
Hey Sarah 😊 I found a bottle of RL Tender Romance at Goodwill for a good price, but unfortunately it had turned (the top notes were clearly degraded) 😢. I want those yummy pears!! But I’ve found a few of the ones you mentioned on eBay or Mercari that were just fine. Love the hunt! 😉 💞
here we go with people and their petty comments... 🙄🤦♀️ F them just keep doing your thing! You dont have to explain yourself to anyone. I personally appreciate all the content you put out, and i see that you are overly generous with your time here on youtube! I dont mind if you read versus type the notes btw. Much love to you Hope you have a nice day
I just found a full 2 oz bottle of Alien Essence Absolu on Mercari for $200 and I’m so excited! It seems like my dream fragrance! It seems like they always discontinue my favorites. Also, I do like hearing you read it but I don’t mind it written if it stayed on the screen a bit longer
Two of the fragrances I really liked were discontinued, and seems like the third one is following the same path, need to get a backup, grrr. Great video!
Are you familiar with a very old perfume called Beloved by Prince Matchabelli. I have a set that I've had since I was 16 and I'm 69 now. There are not any fresh/useable bottles anywhere that I know of.
Thanks for the quick "check"! I just loved it!! 😍😜🤪🙃😉. Watch the channel for the content not to "correct" the way you pronounce the names of fragrances. I love your videos and your love for fragrances comes through ❤❤❤. Keep shining!!!
I totally prefer to tell me your opinion about the perfume and describe it in your own way, despite the notes. Actually is more interesting to see that you are smelling peaches for example, but the fragrance doesn’t have peaches. I like your videos very much btw, they are very calming. ❤️
Oriens by Van Cleef and Arpels, Look by Vera Wang, Miss Dior Cherie, Blue by Ralph Lauren and Metal by Paco Rabanne.......I'm still crying over the loss of these fantastic fragrances 😭😭😭
Amen!! 🙏🏻 You definitely understand what I am going through with the remote schooling then. The teachers have it made, just a couple of 15 minute zoom calls a day and leave the teaching to the parents. 🥰🙏🏻
We ALL hate it when they discontinue a fragrance, and usually when they reformulate!! The notes on the screen are good but weren't up there long enough (or I read slow).
Not to mention, you respond or acknowledge every single comment on every single video. On both channels! You don’t have time to look up pronunciations lol... Sorry I’m still hot about this 😂😂
Thank you Sarah for this video, don’t worry about your pronunciation of the fragrance names, you’re trying and that’s great. How do you go about finding discontinued fragrances? Would you mind telling us? Thanks!
Hi Shelly!! I usually look for them on Mercari and EBay. You have to be kind of careful though because people do try to sell games. I usually look for kind of one-off sellers. Someone who just doesn’t want the bottle anymore. I usually have the best luck that way. I hope that helps! ❤️
I support your comments about the pronunciation police. Watch another channel if you have to have perfect pronunciation of foreign words. It's about the fragrance reviews not a language class!!!
The Shalimar Parfum Intitial WAS released in the bee bottles....$280-$300 range (?)...HOWEVER !!! They are re-releasing it again in those "newer" bottles (like Mitsouko, LPRN and L'Heure Bleu...etc...) and I heard the price will be more "normal"....in euros it was like $140 ish USD...WHEN ???!!!...is the question...lol.
Hi Sarah! It’s easy 🥰 Gioia is Translated in Joy instead Gio it’s the nickname for Giorgio (the founder of Giorgio Armani). I can’t help with the pronunciation though.
I've never smelled Miss Dior Cherie but I read somewhere that Signorina Miele Fragrenza was supposed to be pretty close. Also, completely random, but back in the 90's there was an infomercial about a perfume called Curiosity (not the Britney Spears Curiosity). I remember it being very overpowering back then to my young nose and wanted to smell it again but it's nowhere to be found. Have you heard of it?
Do you think that E&J Nirvana White is a good dupe for Stella Nude? I believe they’re very similar. I also get a little Stella and Nirvana White from Aqua Allegoria Ginger Piccante.
The two most annoying designers are Dior and Gucci because of their constant reformulations. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 Miss Dior Cherie was my 2nd favorite smell ever. where did you get your bottle? Gucci edp has long been discontinued too, ugh why.
@@SarahMayes I think the whole 'storm in a teacup' may be because 'Gioia' is pronounced one way in Italian but pronounced a different way in Spanish...... It's all irrelevant because what matters is how it smells, not how it sounds! You do such a great job of describing fragrances, don't worry about it!
My boyfriend wore a cologne in the 90's all he remembers is it was called potion something🙄 the bottle had a dragon on the front on it. I'm trying to find it. Any idea? Thank you.
I don’t think people are “triggered” by your mispronunciation as much as they are trying to be helpful so you don’t have to take the time to look things up- they are providing the pronunciation for you 🤷♀️
They aren’t providing the pronunciation at all. Those comments I don’t mind. It’s the ones where people are pissed off and leave nasty comments telling me to quit being disrespectful and to look every french word up. It’s ridiculous and clearly they are triggered if they are going to take time out of their day to be hateful.
Hi Sarah! If you decide to put up notes on the screen would you please keep them on a little bit longer? Thank you! Love your videos 👍🏻😀
I second that request! 😊😊
Third 😁
@@aszlowa You can look at Fragrantica for the notes
I can definitely do that! 🥰 Thank you all so much for the feedback!! ❤️

This is YOUR content and if they have a problem with your pronunciations, they can watch someone else 🥰
Amen!! 🙏🏻 You definitely understand what I am going through with the remote schooling then. The teachers have it made, just a couple of 15 minute zoom calls a day and leave the teaching to the parents. 🥰🙏🏻
@@SarahMayes yes!! Hahaha I had no idea we’d be doing 90% of the teaching 😂😂
We ALL hate it when they discontinue a fragrance, and usually when they reformulate!! The notes on the screen are good but weren't up there long enough (or I read slow).
Not to mention, you respond or acknowledge every single comment on every single video. On both channels! You don’t have time to look up pronunciations lol...
Sorry I’m still hot about this 😂😂
Amen to that!
🥰🥰🥰
I love your collection 😍 ❤
Thank you!! ❤️🥰🙏🏻
Thank you Sarah for this video, don’t worry about your pronunciation of the fragrance names, you’re trying and that’s great. How do you go about finding discontinued fragrances? Would you mind telling us? Thanks!
Hi Shelly!! I usually look for them on Mercari and EBay. You have to be kind of careful though because people do try to sell games. I usually look for kind of one-off sellers. Someone who just doesn’t want the bottle anymore. I usually have the best luck that way. I hope that helps! ❤️
Great review and perfums greetings from the Netherlands
Hi Brigitte!! ❤️🥰
I support your comments about the pronunciation police. Watch another channel if you have to have perfect pronunciation of foreign words. It's about the fragrance reviews not a language class!!!
🥰🥰🥰
Wonderful makeup Sarah. The notes on the screen are fine, it would be nice, if you leave them for longer (:
Thank you so much! I will definitely leave the notes up for longer next time. ❤️🥰
@Sarah, it would really help folks like moi, if you mentioned silage and projection, to me it's very important :)
A favorite of mine that was discontinued was Unbreakable by Khloe and Lamar
I come across that one every once in a while. I will have to pick it up next time I do. ❤️🥰
The Shalimar Parfum Intitial WAS released in the bee bottles....$280-$300 range (?)...HOWEVER !!! They are re-releasing it again in those "newer" bottles (like Mitsouko, LPRN and L'Heure Bleu...etc...) and I heard the price will be more "normal"....in euros it was like $140 ish USD...WHEN ???!!!...is the question...lol.
Guerlain is so crazy with how they discontinue, reformulation, re release! ❤️
Hi Sarah! It’s easy 🥰 Gioia is Translated in Joy instead Gio it’s the nickname for Giorgio (the founder of Giorgio Armani). I can’t help with the pronunciation though.
I've never smelled Miss Dior Cherie but I read somewhere that Signorina Miele Fragrenza was supposed to be pretty close. Also, completely random, but back in the 90's there was an infomercial about a perfume called Curiosity (not the Britney Spears Curiosity). I remember it being very overpowering back then to my young nose and wanted to smell it again but it's nowhere to be found. Have you heard of it?
Hi there!! I haven’t heard of that one but I would love to get my nose on it! ❤️🥰
Do you think that E&J Nirvana White is a good dupe for Stella Nude? I believe they’re very similar. I also get a little Stella and Nirvana White from Aqua Allegoria Ginger Piccante.
I will have to test them side by side but now that you mention it they definitely are similar. ❤️🥰
Great video!
The two most annoying designers are Dior and Gucci because of their constant reformulations. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 Miss Dior Cherie was my 2nd favorite smell ever. where did you get your bottle? Gucci edp has long been discontinued too, ugh why.
I so agree! They are 2 of the worst offenders. I found my bottle in Mercari. ❤️
I own all Miss Dior and love every one of them. I do love the 2005 version best followed by absolutely blooming bouquet.
Mine is Viktor & Rolf Magic Dancing Roses, it’s so hard to find now
My favorite from that line was Sage Spell
I also heard Dior Le Parfum is discontinued as well .! 😬
Yes, it is! I’m sad I never picked that one up. ❤️
@@SarahMayes I have a bottle of it I bought like 2 years ago .! 🥰
Just got some Justin Bieber The Key 🔑 off Aussie EBay can’t wait to try it. Blind buy lol 😝
I hope you love it!! ❤️🥰
I love me some Sarah!!!!!!
🥰🥰🥰
i have new bottle that is seal, Tender romance perfume wow
🥰🥰🥰
Thanks ❤
❤️❤️
Laurence Dumont is super hard to find now. Have you tried any of those
I haven’t tried any of those but I’ll keep my eye out. ❤️
Sooo good😬
You know who leaves rude comments about dumb stuff like pronouncing words perfectly? People that don’t make UA-cam videos!😂💜💜
😂😂😂
@@SarahMayes I think the whole 'storm in a teacup' may be because 'Gioia' is pronounced one way in Italian but pronounced a different way in Spanish...... It's all irrelevant because what matters is how it smells, not how it sounds! You do such a great job of describing fragrances, don't worry about it!
Donna Aqua is apparently discontinued and I’m so sad!!
Oh no! I didn’t realize it had been discontinued. 😭
My boyfriend wore a cologne in the 90's all he remembers is it was called potion something🙄 the bottle had a dragon on the front on it. I'm trying to find it. Any idea? Thank you.
I can’t think of anything that sounds like that but I’ll do a bit of research to see what I can come up with. ❤️
Thank you.
Hello I would like to help I googled and there’s one called lucky number 6 it’s red with a dragon
But what if those get bad? I mean fragrance does not stay good forever or?
I am guessing you would say Aqua di Joya😌. I am not triggered though- don’t worry
I think I was saying Jo-ah. Someone commented and said it’s joy-a though so now I’m thoroughly confused. 😂
Ok this is my 3rd time watching LOL.
🥰🥰🥰
🤩🤩🤩🤩
GIOIA is pronounced JOY-A, meaning joy. GIORGIO is pronounced GEORGE-O. GIO - JO
Personal I don’t care that you can’t pronounce the name of a fragrance as long as I can see the bottle and you put the notes up
Prefer you say notes thanks
I don’t care how it’s pronounced. Lol
I don’t think people are “triggered” by your mispronunciation as much as they are trying to be helpful so you don’t have to take the time to look things up- they are providing the pronunciation for you 🤷♀️
They aren’t providing the pronunciation at all. Those comments I don’t mind. It’s the ones where people are pissed off and leave nasty comments telling me to quit being disrespectful and to look every french word up. It’s ridiculous and clearly they are triggered if they are going to take time out of their day to be hateful.
