I Just Hate These Brands / Houses!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лип 2024
- You know I hate talking about fragrances and brands / fragrance houses, that I dislike. But, you all seem to want to know what I dislike to create guardrails, so to speak, of the boundaries I prefer. These are what I really seem to dislike, PLUS a bit of a twist! Some of these houses have a "One Hit Wonder" that I DO very much like!

I certainly pulled no punches in this video 😂 I could have kept going with more brands. If want a Part 2, let me know!
Hi Greta, would be great to watch the part 2❤
Yes, part 2!
Yup...part 2. Helps with decision making. :)
Im very Sad because you never tallk abut rasasi Dareej por Home 😢😢
Absolutely! Part 2 please!
Finally an honest influencer!!!!!
You hit the nail on the head with these imo! I've never been wowed by LeLabo or Byredo and I really appreciate this type of video. Juliette Has a Gun is the other one that seems particularly overhyped and thank you Greta. Being open and honest is truly refreshing!
Thank you for honesty. Im kinda tired of the hyping up fragrances and three months later are on a declutter video.
I get it and agree!
Hi! I'm a first time viewer and so glad UA-cam recommended your channel. I totally agree on Le Labo, Byredo, Philosophy, Frédéric Malle and Diptique which are so ridiculously expensive and to my nose and skin not worth it...
I am so happy you found me! 🤗🤗 I hope you decide to join the family and subscribe 💕☀️🤍
I love videos like this. It’s just as fun to hear what everyone dislikes as what everyone loves. It shows raw honesty too. Great video. ❤
I was like a train speeding up, and then impossible to stop! 😂once I got going, I could’ve kept going.
Oh my gosh, I totally agree with the one hit wonder thing. I’ve noticed that I usually only like one per house! But I honestly need to try more houses bc I bet I could find one that I really love!! We appreciate your honesty 🙂
I’m all here for this!!! Thank you for what you do
This is what makes this whole fragrance journey exciting cos we cannot possibly like the same things😍😍. I would love to see part 2👌👌.
Stay gorgeous🥰🥰.
I'm so with you on Marc Jacobs! Actually outside of one fragrance or so I'm in agreement with the brands you named. ❤️
Great video! I definitely agree with you regarding Chloe, Mark Jacob, JHAG, and some of the others you named 😉 I want to add Roja Parfum, HOS, and Montale to name a few. I have one or two from these houses, but I had to declutter the rest 😂
I’m so with you in Le labo! I have WASTED so much money on that brand and hated all of them! Love this video and you look beautiful as always!
“Wasted,”is the right word! It makes me sick too 😔
I have a very erratic taste so I can usually find something for me in all ranges - from celebrity scents to the extremely expensive one like Clive Cristian or Louis Vuitton. The only problem I have is when fragrances don't perform and they cost 200+$. It really irritates me, but I'm smarter now and I sample extensively first. 😅
Same same!!🥲
What a bold video to make! Respect for being as real as it gets.
I honestly cannot agree with you more! On every single brand!!! I am 100% following you now. Thank you for this honest and open video
Yah! Thank you! 🤗
Love this❤ I agree with you 99 percent on your choices , part 2 👍 😊
It seems the general consensus to do part 2 😎
I totally resonate with your choice ❤ although I own Lady Vengeance from Juliette has a gun 😅 it's kind of an old love of mine that intermittently comes back to me 😊
Looking forward to a declutter video 😋
Lady Vengeance is a beauty! I own Mad Madame- it has terrible reviews, but I love it ❤
Hi Greta ! GIven the number of fragrances in your collection its interesting to hear those that you have decluttered or just not a fan of. We all have different taste, noses and opinions. It's great to express it that.
I completely agree with you (and Gabby). I also agree regarding Mancera and Montale, I only like Roses Vanille and Intense Cafe too (which I own), but all the others are a bit scratchy for me. Please a part 2 if it's not too troublesome :). ❤
Part 2 Please!
I agree with you on so many -- especially Le Labo, Chloe and Philosophy. Yawn! I've tried samples of Royal Crown and they were lackluster for the price. I do, however, love Musc for Her (Narcisso), Bal D'Afrique (Byredo) and Eau Capitale (Diptyque). Thank you for your honest opinions.😊
Hi Greta, I’m a new subscriber and I’ve been really into learning about different fragrance houses and just enjoying finding my favorite fragrances. I appreciate what you have shared and I also agreed with you on some of the fragrance houses you mentioned. This is valuable for people like myself, starting off a fragrance collection
I hope I can help you find some new loves 🤍☀️💕
I'm so glad you shared this video because for years I felt something was wrong with me for not liking a lot of these frags that people have raved about for so long. I mean, I forced myself to buy fragrances that I really didn't like just because of their popularity. These days when I buy perfumes it will be because I actually love them. There are not a lot of people who would be honest about these super well known frags on social media so thanks a lot for being transparent.😊
I think most of us just don’t say anything at all when we don’t like something. I won’t even mention PR if I don’t like it. So you only hear from those that like them.
Gorgeous, I love hearing honest negative opinions too! And I agree with all of those brands, except Montale (I like and own Intense Cafe, Ristretto Intense Cafe, Arabians Tonks and Honey Aoud). We need a Part 2🤩There are quite a few more brands with nothing really special to offer, or good but way overpriced for what they are. Good job, Greta, it seems that nobody wants to say the true here!
Yessssss, so agree with all your choices! I’d also add Mugler & Prada. Overall, I think I’m moving away from most designer brands. They just don’t excite me. Not to sound like a snob, but I also absolutely despise celebrity scents. I have yet to smell one that doesn’t smell cheap.
I totally agree!
The only Prada fragrance I still love and will always keep in my collection is Infusion d’Iris. She’s so pretty.
Agree! I absolutely hate Prada Candy and Paradoxe. I just don't get the appeal.
Mugler is great though. I love how skanky Angel EDP is- I've been getting into it. Angel Muse EFP, Alien Oud..
This was hard to watch. At points my jaw dropped and them I'm like "oh wow, I agree and never thought of it that way" I really loved this. Bold and honest 💪🏾awesome video!!!!
😎😎😎
You nailed this one for sure! I couldn't agree with you more.
Great video! I was going to get Gypsy Water but then I found out that Tocca Colette (one of my favs) is a suitable dupe. I also feel the same way about Philosophy. Amazing Grace is boring 😴.
Decadence as a baddie fragrance made me laugh 🤣🤣🤣❤️ loved your whole candid take on all these brands
😂😂😂😂😂
I agree wholeheartedly! Especially with Byredo and Malle
I dig your honesty and I share a lot of your same opinions. 3 of these houses you mentioned have only one hit for me from each and the rest have been real let downs so I don’t keep up with the releases since I know generally what I’m in for.
I have to admit I enjoy byredo bal dafrique quite a lot and maybe I just got lucky but for me it lasts awhile for a fresh scent but I agree most have terrible performance and don’t offer much else. I don’t care to own any more but Bal is one of my go to easy reach fragrances and is also good as a palette cleanser if you will, from heavier scents. I bought my bottle from Europe and they are much cheaper over there.
Le labo is the same Byredo situation but I can’t deny I do enjoy Santal 33 and that one for me does perform very well and again I buy it in Europe because it’s cheaper that way. I did also like the smell of their bergamot one but it has abysmal performance… blink and you miss it. Definitely not worth the price tag even on discount. The rest of the house is quite boring to me. I don’t even reach for Santal 33 that often but something about it comforts me.
Royal crown is very overpriced and gets too much hype imo but I do own and love one called Nocturna. It’s a delight to wear, not beast mode but moderate projection but I really enjoy the scent profile and it gets me a lot of compliments and probably weird looks after they google it and see how much it is, LOL! I got mine in the $300 range rather than the $500 but they are overpriced and the one that most people talk about from the brand, sultan, isn’t even good to me.
Other brands I don’t care much for are Kilian, only because most of them perform so badly but I enjoy the scents. Some of them actually perform well like the red version of rose and oud, I own and adore that one but a lot have really bad performance sadly. Ex nihilo is another brand that has some good scents but performance is horrible in most on them. I never feel comfortable blind buying them for that reason. Hit and a miss. I don’t wear a lot of designer fragrances these days but in that realm, I don’t like Kayali fragrances, they are overpriced and so mediocre. I don’t like JHAG either, boring short lasting scents. I could go on and on but I won’t 😇
Thanks for being so honest and I agree with you on almost everything. I do have two Byredos, Bal D’Afrique and Mojave Ghost, but I bought them on a good discount. I wouldn’t repurchase though. They are way overpriced along with Le Labo. You look great in that color by the way.
Good,… no, GOOODD discount I might do those two also, and Gypsey Water.
Greta doll!!! Hi!!! You know I truly love when you all do these type of videos lol! This is funny, I have the Floraiku discovery set and about 3 samples in I was bored as hell. Maybe I was already sleepy lol. I have to get back into those samples. I did like one umbrella for two tho lol!!
Yeah I didn’t exactly drool over my discovery set either 😂
Totally agree with so many of these! Also I couldn’t get Sultan off my skin fast enough, hated it
Love your honesty!
Agree with all your choices - except the brands I haven’t tried yet… Probably not worth trying then 😂 Nice to hear someone else share my thoughts
I so agree with you on some many of your list. I would also say Jo Malone is overpriced considering they are colognes.
I'm totally with you on Narcisso Rodriguez - I'm a musk lover so I really expected to love them, but I can't. I also agree on Philosophy. I also agree about Le Labo, JHAG, and Byredo. I love Byredo's Gypsy Water, but I find the lack of longevity to be terrible, and I don't care for Dapper but the Alexandria dupe is great. Jo Malone also is a house I don't love mainly because of lack of longevity but also many of their perfumes are too plain for me. Unpopular, but also I'm not a a Tom Ford fan because so many are priced ridiculously, esp for the lack of longevity, and I feel like a lot of them are just cash grabs.
Amen! 🙌🏻
And yes, I like Alexandria as well for the overpriced brands.
Good video, Greta! Byredo... The price, for low performing frags is crazy! With your collection it's easy to understand why you wouldn't like/choose the brands you can't get on board with! I like Poudre too, but do I reach for it much? For bedtime if ever. I liked the original white cube the most, but of course it's discontinued. I may try Ego Stratis, I like some JHAG. xoxo
I love the powdery musks for bed or chilling also ☺️
Hey Greta, I love your honesty...I couldn't get with the Chloe or any flankers, and omg Decadents I can't 🤣🤣🤣🤣, but I really like my Philosophy for those soft pretty days and for Netflix and chill days, but they can be pricey unless you get them on sale
Loved loved loved this video!! You shared a number of houses that I don’t “get” either. I have often thought that they are way over-priced for what you get. Doesn’t make any sense to me on some of those houses. I actually really dislike the Diptique bottles.
They are ugly, rent they?! 🤭
Totally agree with Byredo and LeLabo!! I do own Bal D' Afirique, I have a few scents that are not overpowering I keep in my collection for when I go out to dinner, so I don't offend. Acqua De Parma Colonia is the other one. Appreciate the honest review. I do like the smell of "Bergamot 22" if that would last longer, it would really be a hit!
I totally agree with every house you mentioned I think there's a middle ground between designer and niche and brands like LE LA BO, BYREDO sit in that category, way over Ihyped and way overpriced
Hi Greta!! Excellent video!! I agree with you on Byredo! They don’t last. I don’t understand the hype over these. I appreciate your honesty. Btw, I also enjoy Gabby’s content. Have a beautiful day!
Love Gaby! She’s my girl. She has a great nose!
I Think BR540 Is REPULSIVE! It makes My Tummy turn!!! That one I don't get! The other fragrances In that house r FANTASTIC!!! But B.R540 I just CANT! 🤢🤮
Me too! 😯😆 A fire in a chemical factory! Horrible artificial sweetness. 📛
Agree on allmost all houses 😅 Exept from Narciso.. ❤
I also am not a huge fan of Dyptique, however I find Orpheon super unique and addictive! Not beast mode at all but I'm in love with the scent. The only one I have loved so far from the brand.
😆 🤣 the truth shall set me free. I thought I was the only one feeling this way. Thank you 💕
This is so good I have tried alot of these and thought maybe I was being to hard on them but I dont like any of these either Thanks GB!!!!!!
You are so welcome!
Great list!! I agreed with a few.
I agree with you on most of what you said. The only exceptions are I do like Marc Jacobs Perfect, but as a basic out running errands type of fragrance. The other exception is Philosophy Pop of Sun which I find to be a nice light cheerful summer fragrance.
😂😂😂OMG, you talked about several of the similar ones I don't care for lol.
Loved your honesty
I appreciate your honesty alot
I must have good taste!! I don't own any of those brands except Diptyque. My first niche bottle was Eau Duelle (long gone now), I own the 2016 Limited edition in the black bottle which I regret as I hate the squeeze bulb sprayer. Byredo doesn't last. I tried every Le Labo, including the city scents and nothing appealed to me. I was into patchouli for awhile and I have Montale's Patchouli leaves decant which will last forever as Montale is always beast mode (which isn't always a good attribute). I was happy to see Cathrusia was not on your list as I just bought Mediterraneo and A'mmare for the spring (if spring ever arrives this year). Fun to watch!!! Yes, part 2.
Such a fun video! I have tried a whole discovery set from Montale and Ramon Monegal. I ended up purchasing only Flamenco. I liked Intense Café, I couldn’t get behind the rest. I don’t like Decadence from MJ either. I wanted to love Francesca Bianchi, I ordered 8 samples, but too animalic for me. Tyger Tyger is nice, tho.
I absolutely love the Diptyque bottles but yeah havent found any scents I like.
I totally agree with you about Le Labo, and Diptyque. I tried so many of them and I just couldn’t understand the hype. Did not impress me at all
I agree with most of what u have experienced! Baredo, diptique, no thank you :)
I only own intense cafe and roses vanille as well :D
All the best to u! Greatings from the Netherlands!
I agree with you 100% except for Le Labo, Byredo and Diptyque. I have some forever repurchases in my collection from those houses. But that's the beauty of fragrance, it's personal to our individual tastes.
I really thought you were gonna like Byredo Black Saffron! I thought that one was going to convert you. If you still have the decant I sent you, spray it on a test strip 🤗🥰😍
Great video and love your honesty! 💋
Oh I sprayed it and wore it…. 🙅🏼♀️😂
Love this! I agree with so many of these, so many hyped but underwhelming houses. I do have to say I love the rotting fruit of Pulp (I know), but otherwise Byredo just refuses to be great.
I'm with you on NR, Greta. I'm a long-time musk lover, but there's something about their musk DNA I really don't vibe with. I have For Her EDT, Pure Musc and the For Her with Rose. They're all ok, but I reach for them more out of obligation to wear all my perfumes than out of actual desire to wear them. Maybe I'll give the Poudre a shot down the road. 💜
Diptyque im not a big fan of but i do want a bottle of Oud Palao, it is amazing oh it is a sultan regal overpowering stank bomb but something about it draws me back in i always spray a few sprays whenever i see it at the south coast plaza.
I like those 2 Narcisso cubes only oh and the musc rose but not in a great way just in a running errands kind of way 🤷🏽♀️ so agreed
I like your honest reviews 👍
Great video Greta!
I agree with all Greta, even with Dappers version of Byredo, except for Narciso. Im a sucker for musk!
Ok, philosykos is amazing. Hands down amazing. And I love Hindu Kush from mancera
Thank you Greta👏 thanks god I have not try 90% of these brands that you've covered in this video because you have never recommended them. The only brand I am familiar with is Mancera and its sister's company and you're totally right, I do find them harsher and not as refine. The only one I owned is instant crush, this was because I was going through a BR540 phrase and want to be able to smell it and not have it disappear, so I got instant crush as it's a dupe. But now I am considering gifting it to a friend as I have no need for it😅
Thank you for your love of perfume and you honest opinions ♥️🥰
Instant crush gives me that scratchy throat feeling like what you get after one too many margaritas made with cheap sour mix 😂 BR540 or HOS whispers of truth don’t do that.
Instant Crush wears masculine and cloying on me. I’d be curious to smell it on a man or just any other woman.
I’m curious to know the other Montale & Mancera fragrances that you’ve tried. I’ve been wanting to get into them because I heard that they were beast mode fragrances. I recently bought a decant of Roses Vanille, and I really like it.
I’ve also been interested in Ristretto Intense Cafe and Arabians Tonka by Montale. Amber Fever, Vanilla Exclusive, Black Vanilla and Holidays by Mancera.
It’s a long list 😅
Yes! I love your approach, your beautifully brutal honesty (my kinda fragrance sister), and your reasoning behind your hated houses and perfumes. Also, the week Decadence dropped, I was sent a nice sized carded sample. I sprayed it and I felt so nauseous. I felt sick. I got a headache. It smelled like cheap mall cloying white floral hot garbage. I loathe it. I don’t find any Marc Jacobs scents remarkable.
😂😂😂😂
I definitely wanna park too.. I have to agree with you on almost all the fragrance houses that you mentioned. Especially Montale and Mancera To me they’re just loud and screechy. No sophistication. Lol
I agree on many of them! Byredo is so overpriced for me, everything I have tried disappeared after almost 2 hours and I didn't even especially liked the scents. I remember not liking Bibliotheque very much 😆 Marc Jacobs is so boring, they have lovely bottles but I never liked any of the perfume they've got. Decadence is gross, for me it was straight up cucumber smell 🙈 I would also add Jo Malone. I love the bottles as well but the juice isn't worth the money. I like to buy Zara x Jo Malone frags, same quality and decent price, exactly as it should be in her main line. Hugs! ❤️❤️
Hey Darlin! Yes I forgot to add Jo Malone. I’ve mentioned that brand before. I’ve got Part 2 list ready to go 😂
@@GretaBeth I'll be waiting then! 😂❤️
Oh my gosh yes! Literally feel the exact same way about philosophy, Chloe and most marc Jacobs. And yes Decadence is gross lol.
Good morning Greta!!!! I like when people switch it up and do fragrances and brands they don’t like!! Cause we ALWAYS see what everyone likes and wears daily… have an amazing day sweetie!!!
It sets up parameters of what we do and don’t like. Otherwise, I guess, it sounds like we love everything.
@@GretaBeth Oh believe me I’ve seen some people say they love everything and I just laugh cause I know that’s a fat lie 😂
Or they have tried very little 🤭
@@GretaBeth lol right!!!! 😂 there’s so many fragrances out there!!! You can’t love them all!!
Agree on Narciso and Daisy. As usual another 3 seasonal flankers nobody needed 😅😅
I just kept nodding my head watching this video. More, more, more, Greta! This topic fascinates me, and I'd love to hear more of your takes on such houses. I totally agree with most - Le Labo, Marc Jacobs, Miu Miu - never found one I liked! Another overrated and overpriced brand is Clean! Okay, Clean Reserve Skin is nice, but it's like shelling out for the emperor's new clothes! Re Byredo, thanks to you, Greta, I'm quite happy with the Dapper version of Bal d'Afrique that you turned me on to! One li'l tip I'd love to share in return: if your Dapper of Byredo Gypsy Water runs out, try Colette by Tocca! An absolutely beautiful-smelling dupe, and the bottle is pretty enough to display on your shelf! With Colette and Dapper Bal d'Afrique I'll never have to shell out the big bucks for Byredo! 😜
You’re the second person to mention Colette in comments! I will have to try it again. It’s been years.
loved the background Greta! =)
Totally agree with your list!❤️💯
Thank you Danielle! I know you’ve tried a LOT of perfume
Thank u for your honest opininon
I agree with much of your choices for houses that are not very good but have you tried Fig extasy from mancera? It is very fresh and it lasts!
Hmmm 🤔 I don’t remember. But I did go in a hunt for a good fig fragrance this past summer.
You are a genius. Finally somebody said it❤
🙌🏻Agree, 💯 with your choices. However, with Royal Crown I do have my exception with Celebration, otherwise, for the rest of the line it’s underwhelming for me.
I know you love that one :)
Pretty much with ya on all of these. For me, I would add Parfums de Marley to my list-heresy, I know-but I just haven’t ever found one I like, including the latest, Velaya. Just ‘meh.
It's funny how we all have brands that we gravitate towards and others we learn not to bother with. One I don't like is Lancome. Also, don't like gimmicky brands like Maison Margiela. I don't understand wanting to smell like a scenario. Good weekend, Greta! 🙂👍
MM is another one! Yes!
@@GretaBeth 😁👍
Mancera/Montale isn’t refined that’s for sure lol but I do enjoy some of them. They have too many scents and I think that’s part of the problem, they start to smell alike. From the houses I have: honey aoud, instant crush, blue silver, intense cafe, crazy in love, oud mazing and aoud lemon mint. I wear instant crush quite a bit, idk why I just love it. Not my favorite house by a long shot but every now and then they do something good. I hate the Montale bottles though 😅
Well, isnt that what hobby exploration is all about? If everything must be liked, if everything is one color, one texture, or story, etc, there wouldnt be a community diving deep into its waters, down the rabbit hole. Exploration implies discovery challenges, likes and dislikes, and things that make us run away and explore away from it, and things that draw us in, and we find a home somewhere deep in that rabbit hole. So i say you are showing that you are a true fragrance/scent explorer enthusiast. Not just a frag yes man. Thus i have a lot of respect for that honesty and forthrightness.
Boy you sure did not hold back! 😄
I agree with you in regards to Le Labo and Byredo, they have a couple of good releases but the halo that fragcom created around them is unjustified IMO. Same for Chloé - on that note, have you tried the Chloé private line? They're pretty simplistic but done well. I especially like Cedrus.
I don’t think so. Sometimes private lines are a very different story.
PS. I'd love to see a Part 2!
I love poudree!!! If you want powdery this is the one!! ✅❤️
It really is!
I kinda agree with Le Labo.
My only and favorite from this house is BERGAMOT 22. Amazing!
Video’s really great.
Love the blue blouse Greta. My color.
Thank you beautiful! I found that one to not last at all, when I went to their event. And an egregious price for a citrus 🙈
You’re right. It only lasted like 4-5 hours in my skin. It lasted longer when I paired it with Molecule 01.
May I add. Molecule 01 + Mandarin.
Gorgeous! Loving it 😍 and it last longer😆 and affordable 😆
Alexander J. 's zafeer oud vanille is one of the greatest soft warm cosy Woody tobacco vanille and coconut scents. May be the best i ve tried yet. But the others , u r right. Sth always bothers me. Montale chocolate greedy is giod but overhyped, mancera Coco vanille and roses vanille are really creamy and long lasting and better options to feel the quality.
Oh my gosh yes somebody had to say it… the Byredo experience is just a huge question mark … and Le labo… gosh….WHOLE FOODS scents!!!
I recently picked up Montale Chocolate Greedy. It is one of the very few true gourmands that I have. I was excited because I was hopeful the brand would have more gourmands. You burst that bubble real quick. 😛
That’s a popular one too. A good chocolate fragramce. Sample first with this brand!
Choco Violette is soooo good 👍 the notes of violet and chocolate are distinct
Oh I heard about that! That def piques my interest!
Thanks so much for your honest reviews. Byredo and Le Labo are extremely overhyped. I don’t like the bottles and they are priced like top notch niche fragrances 🙄 I’ve ordered samples and I was so disappointed 👎 Another house I don’t like is Oscar de La Renta, a total waste of $$. Part 2 please 🙏 Do you know a line called Nobile 1942? It’s from Italy and my favorites are ‘La Danza de la Libelulle’ (a delicious gourmand) and ‘Perdizione’, which I sometimes layer with Oud Satin Mood from MFK. Maybe you should look into them, they are good 👍 I wish they were more UA-cam reviews on this house.
Girl, you almost went through my list! The only exception is Byredo perfumes which i like trying in the stores for “ experience “ and the only one i own is Pulp. It smells like green unripe fig in colder weather and more like rippen soft fig in humid summer months. I also don’t get Clive Christian line. Great video, thanks!
I own a couple fig trees in my backyard. It doesn’t smell like that on the tree or freshly picked 🙈 It smells exactly like the day old kitchen scraps that need to go in compost.
But if it works for you, and you have positive scent memories, enjoy it! 😃
Greta! I will not “argue” with a person who owes a fig tree in her yard🤗😅 on how the Pulp smells! Whoah! Great review, waiting for more, thanks again!
Honestly, I don’t want to ruin a good thing for you 😃🤗 ☀️🤍
I also love Pulp. My dad has a fig tree in his garden and I dont agree with you, but I also dont agree with Greta about the scraps. But I have read that in reviews and I didnt experience it at all. I did however experience that type of scent, with a fragrance by 4160 Tuesdays that I was super excited for.
Love this video! Feel the same about Narciso. The only one I like is ‘musc noir rose’…It’s pretty and soft. I think you may like it. Le Labo…. I don’t like either. I particularly hate ‘Santal 33’…too woody for me.
And the packaging is so plain… much like Byredo. Philosophy is overrated and doesn’t last past 30 min. Marc Jacobs ‘Daisy’ I think is very juvenile. Never tried ‘Decadence’ but by your description, I’ll pass. Juliet has a gun… overrated and too expensive for the amount you get. Montale and Mancera… too synthetic for me. Dyptique… still on the fence about. A few of the other houses you’ve mentioned… never tried and probably won’t. But I’m happy someone feels the same as me! Lol. You really hit the nail on the coffin with this video! Thanks for sharing!
A few people me ruined that NR. May have to give it a sniff!
Oh i also dislike byredo, le labo and diptique for the same reasons you mentioned! 😂
NR for her edt the black one with clear top is the only one that is outstanding, I have a bottle of it, it's discontinued typically😓, but it's unik.
I can't understand le labo as well.
Of course it’s discontinued 😂 That’s what brands always do with their successful products!
Greta. I agree with most of these choices. I own Sultan, Bal D’afrique and Portrait of a Lady and I just don’t get it. 😢
".. headache and gag.."🤣🤣 We've all been there!😵💫
😫😂😂😂
Interesting video girl, respect your opinion and it really matters to me.
Thank you, Love!
