    It‘s so sad how loreal ruins the fragrances. Hypnotic Poison edt used to have a great longevity and sillage and now you can‘t smell it after 2-3 hours.

      Haha that one is terrible on me! Literally smells like rubber from a balloon and playdoh 🤢. After that it’s just an extremely mild vanilla skin scent. That wasn’t cheap either. Total waste of money 😞

    Haven't tried these scents but as it may be helpful for coffee scent lovers, a perfume collector I know recommended "Coffee De Vienna" for a great quality bitter coffe scent. She also likes Café Cabanel from teo cabanel and Café Tuberosa from Atelier Cologne which is a milder coffee scent for sensitive people.
    For sweet coffe scent heard some people like d&g the only one I should test this one too.

    Alien was my favourite for years.
    It has absolutely been butchered!
    Bring back the original Alien formulation........ such a shame companies destroy so many amazing perfumes. Hypnotic Poison was also re-formulated and nothing like the original scent. 🤯💓💐

    • @gyrlgeorge
      @gyrlgeorge 2 роки тому

      I’m wearing the current Alien right now and loving it, so I’m glad I never knew the real one, because I probably couldn’t enjoy this one. But I must say if this is a watered down version I cannot imagine what the original Alien was like! Because this is the most beast mode fragrance I own! It’s a powerhouse

    • @RinSicairos
      @RinSicairos 2 роки тому +2

      They destroyed it. It used to be so smooth , sexy, mysterious. Almost Romantic Goth. I will never get over it. I wish I had known about the reformalation so I bought backup bottles.

    As a lover of both perfumes, I really don’t get why people always compare Black Opium and Intense Café.
    The only similarity is that both perfumes contain coffee, but besides that these scents are completely different. Not even the notes are somehow similar 😅. The coffee in BO smells very dark and nutty, whereas the coffee in Intense Cafe smells very lactic and sugary.
    If you‘re searching for a niche BO „dupe“ go for „Hundred silent ways“ (Nishane).

    • @klddere3734
      @klddere3734 3 роки тому

      No one says it smells the same or it is a dupe! But BO is known for the coffee so people say that if you want coffee in your perfume it is better to go for Intense cafe

  • @lenamaria9864

    Do you think Glamour is similar to Dior’s 1980’s formulation of Poison (the OG purple bottle with the clear crystal cap)? OG Poison used to smell like plum/grape tuberose with incense. I kinda felt like OG Alien was inspired by that OG Poison scent profile.

    Do you know of a better version of Idole by Lancome? They call it a "clean, floral chypre" and I like it but it tends to get a bit synthetic in the dry down. I wish I could find something similar that might not turn on my skin chemistry.

    I agreed that Montale intense cafe is more niche and mass appealing than Black Opium. But it is a mess of chemical in my skin and it's so potent so sickening sweet, I couldn't breath. I got bad reaction from my coworkers when I wore it once in my workplace, I only spray 2 sprays 😭. Black opium is more basic, yes but I don't know whenever I wear it, I get compliments 😅. Same with Good girl, huge compliments getter although I don't like that fragrance very much, I feel like I smell like everyone in the street and I hate the shape of the bottles, I don't like to see the shoes on my makeup table 😅 But I can't do Very Good girl, it's way too tart and like sour mango on my skin. But it still better than Angel Nova for sure.

    Sounds dumb, but hear me out and help me cope, please? I just recently became a frag head. Alien is my first experience with a fragrance love and loss ( first world problem, but STILL.) It is actually very painful. I know that sounds dramatic, but scent is such a powerful human sense. It is like an imaginary best friend or secret. It’s comfort, courage, familiarity, protection like armor for a big day…Especially when it’s a bad bitch perfume like Alien. I wasn’t prepared for this. Any words of wisdom from those who have been through this?

To me jlo glow smells like a gas station bathroom that's filled with mildew and the smell of urine and instead of cleaning someone sprayed Lysol. Very good girl reminds me of a nasty mildew infested bathroom with a bowl of cheap rose potpourri
