I honestly love both versions of La Belle! With the Le Parfum version, I wore it one night to bed, and literally my husband almost ate me alive!! He has never had a reaction to a fragrance on me EVER!! Barely ever reacts to any of my perfumes, but this one, my goodness, a night to remember 😂😂😂😂 And this is after 20 years and 3 kids lol!
Fun fact - Three of your favorites, TF Noir, JPG La Belle and NR Musc Noir Rose were all created by the same perfumer, Sonia Constant. If you enjoy her work, you should definitely check out her brand, Ella K 👋
Girl! That pink is your color!!! It works with your complexion and coloring. It's a hit. 💗 Also I recently revisited my bottle of Sofia and it's so good. I bought it after watching several of your videos but unfortunately black currant/cassis is a gamble for me. At first it was too sickly but now a year later I can't wait for colder weather to rock Sofia because it's actually that good. 💗
Mine are - 1. Kenzo flower L'Elixir - EVERYONE who smells it on me - tells how delicious I smell😊 2.Escapade Gourmande, by itself or layered with any spicy vanillas. 3. Tiziana Terenzi Delox - more refined and floral version of Intense Cafe 4.Blanche Bête 5. Navitus Venom of Love
I enjoy your videos maunly because of tgat wonderful and so palpable imagination you attach to each of your fragrance descriptions. You transport me there just like perfumes do 😊
Happy Sunday Maria. Love these. I only own three Narsico Rodriguez and Musc Noir Rose is one of the best. I totally enjoy everything about your channel and look forward to continuing to support your channel.
Haven’t tried all of these but they are such beautiful choices, according to the notes. BTW, adore L’Interdit Rouge 🎉🎉❤! Woooo, child! I’d happily bathe in it. And, your guests are genuinely sweet and likeable, so feel free to bring them on again ❤️.
FYI, Andromeda's Moon, an indy fragrance house on Etsy, also has a very good dupe of Alien Essence Absolue. I bought it and LOVE it! Prices are also very reasonable. Plus they have many other inspired fragrances as well. I just got a small bottle of L'Interdit Rouge and it's just delicious! Definitely glad I got this one after thinking about it for a long time. I also really want to try the NR Musc Noir Rose which sounds amazing. NR is a house I fell in love with several years ago, which was surprising to me, because I was never really into the signature NR For Her. But everything else I've absolutely fallen in love with, NR Narciso (in the white cube) is my all time favorite from his house.
Hi Maria, you are wonderful and I see your family is the same way! Really classy!!! Love you! Ok I have decants of Alien Ess Absolue., it’s a shame it discontinued! My most favorites are Feve Delicious scandalby night and Olympea legend which I’m wearing today! Thanks Maria have a great week!
I love your guests. Have them on as much as you want! Enjoy the story that you tell with your fragrance. Am still wearing L’extase and I think it smells best if I spray it on my chest under my shirt. Otherwise it disappears. And it reminds me of ironing my linen clothing. I use this stuff call “best press” it’s not starch but more like an ironing water you spray to smooth out the wrinkles but doesn’t leave the fabric stiff. It does come in different scents. But it’s the combination of scent and heat from the iron. Strange I know. I haven’t found a new wow fragrance for me. I have oldies that I truly adore but don’t think of them as wow. I do have a bottle of Alien sublime edt on the way. I tried and bought Alien godess and like that a lot. Not a fan of Alien though. Thanks for sharing. Be well
I recently got Modest Deux after watching one of your videos and I am wowed by that one. It’s not like anything I have, could go summer, winter, day or night and would layer beautifully I believe with a lot of things. Lasts really well and also priced right and so I’m “wowed”. Literally can’t stop smelling myself😂
I prefer La belle intense, I think because of the tonka in it, I love both but intense is just amazing to me! Lira is also an amazing scent !!!! Have you tried bouquet ideal by Xerjoff?? That one is a beautiful scent too… cinnamon, nutmeg, …. Yummmy
I have 5 Dua's and I say the same thing about them all. Different at first... develops into 'difficult to tell apart.' It seems they have mastered the dry down.
So enjoy your videos, your so cheerful and bright. Tho you entice me to buy to much, lol. As a fellow Canadian what's the best place to declutter some preloved perfumes.
I'm so glad that you enjoy the content. If you are on FB, The Great Canadian Fragrance Exchange group is the best...I'm rarely on FB and refuse to post so they don't let me on there but it's AWESOME!! Another option is FB marketplace or Kijiji.
Love love love this video. A few of the WOW’s for me….L’Interdit Rouge Flower L’Elixir by Kenzo Carat by Cartier Kayali Vanilla 28 Valentino Donna BIR (both versions) and Lost Cherry
Hi Maria, great video, we do have similar tastes :). I'm willing to discover Love at first sight after hearing tour review. My wow fragrances would also be Flowerbomb by Viktor and Rolf, Blanche Bête by Liquide Imaginaire, Matcha meditation by Replica, and Moonlight in heaven by Kilian :)
Good news!! ZARA just released af Dupe of Alien Essence absolue🙏🌸 Its totally good!! The line Is called: Into the gourmand- Splendid Bronze❤ Very veryyyyy close!!! Like identical… Maybe not aaaaas potent, but the smell!!
Thank you so much! I’m wearing a combo of Stila liquid lipstick in Caramello and then in the middle I’m wearing a limited edition too faced liquid lip in sugar cookie
Lovely list! And I've worn all of these, but the only one that really didn't work for me was Le Belle. I want to love it, but there is something in that fragrance that just turns me cold. I know so many people love it, so it's obviously a "me" thing, but for that reason I would caution people to try before you buy.
@@RachelDee maybe it's the vetiver for me as well. I do know that it smells synthetic to me. But I have the same reaction to the Scandal range. The only JPG fragrance line I can stand is the Classique line.
Your videos with family members were delightful! I have both versions of LaBelle….love them both. I love Musc Noir Rose! It took me quite a while to find it! Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!💛

Oh wow, thanks for the info - I had no idea!! Very interesting..I will check it out for sure!

Alien essence absolue is absolutely an amazing scent!! My favorite from Alien. I have a 30ml bottle left and I am savoring it.
Same!!!
lovely review
I could watch you all day I adore your videos ❤
Thank you!! 😀💕

Another great review!!!❤❤❤ I would add any Armani Code and Dior Addict
Thanks for sharing your picks!

Thanks for sharing your faves! 💕
My favorites are Blanche Bete, Babycat, Nomade, and Light Blue Intense.
People keep mentioning Blanche Bete ! I think I need to check it out 😀. Thanks for sharing your picks

Have you tried Alien Fusion? That one is way different than the original alien but really interesting!
I recently got Modest Deux after watching one of your videos and I am wowed by that one. It’s not like anything I have, could go summer, winter, day or night and would layer beautifully I believe with a lot of things. Lasts really well and also priced right and so I’m “wowed”. Literally can’t stop smelling myself😂
I just ordered that one! Can’t wait to get it
I’m so glad that you like it!!
I still have and I use sparingly my TF Noir Pour Femme their best (to Rouge Jasmine) femme fatale scent !
I have a decant of alien absolute. I'm savouring it. I have three on the list and havent tried the others.
I prefer La belle intense, I think because of the tonka in it, I love both but intense is just amazing to me!
Lira is also an amazing scent !!!! Have you tried bouquet ideal by Xerjoff?? That one is a beautiful scent too… cinnamon, nutmeg, …. Yummmy
I have tried it but don’t like it as much as italica or lira. 😀
Thanks for sharing ❤
You are so welcome

A few of the WOW’s for me….L’Interdit Rouge
Flower L’Elixir by Kenzo
Carat by Cartier
Kayali Vanilla 28
Valentino Donna BIR (both versions) and
Lost Cherry
Oh, Lost Cherry is a TOTAL wow! All of these are great picks, thanks for sharing!
I find that Cacharel Yes I Am is very similar to the Alien Absolue
Hi Maria, great video, we do have similar tastes :). I'm willing to discover Love at first sight after hearing tour review. My wow fragrances would also be Flowerbomb by Viktor and Rolf, Blanche Bête by Liquide Imaginaire, Matcha meditation by Replica, and Moonlight in heaven by Kilian :)
Thanks for sharing your choices!!
Good news!! ZARA just released af Dupe of Alien Essence absolue🙏🌸 Its totally good!!
The line Is called:
Into the gourmand- Splendid Bronze❤
Very veryyyyy close!!! Like identical… Maybe not aaaaas potent, but the smell!!
Thanks for sharing
I have never smelled Alien Absolute, but I have Alien Goddes intense, and I think it's very similar to this last one
@@TheArcoiris12
No, they are very different!
Essence is a sweet, vanilla/amber/jasmin perfume. Soo cosy for winter🌸
I’m super excited to try it!!
My 10/10 is Chopard's Imperial Iris Malika. Heaven in a bottle.
*Imperiale
I need to sniff that one!
New sub ie loving your channel!!
Thank you so much!! I’m glad you are enjoying and welcome to the weird and wonderful family!! 💕
Off topic. I love your lipstick what are you wearing? you look lovely 🤩
Thank you so much! I’m wearing a combo of Stila liquid lipstick in Caramello and then in the middle I’m wearing a limited edition too faced liquid lip in sugar cookie
Lovely list! And I've worn all of these, but the only one that really didn't work for me was Le Belle. I want to love it, but there is something in that fragrance that just turns me cold. I know so many people love it, so it's obviously a "me" thing, but for that reason I would caution people to try before you buy.
I have issues with La Belle, too. It’s beautiful, but there’s a note or maybe more, that makes me not reach for it.
I don’t like the vetiver and synthetic smell on me
@@RachelDee maybe it's the vetiver for me as well. I do know that it smells synthetic to me. But I have the same reaction to the Scandal range. The only JPG fragrance line I can stand is the Classique line.
La Belle disappointed me too. Not as fruity fresh feminine as social media made it seems. The Vetiver is a little heavy and can be overwhelming
It's very nice, but hasn't worked for me as well! :(
Your videos with family members were delightful!
I have both versions of LaBelle….love them both.
I love Musc Noir Rose! It took me quite a while to find it!
Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!💛
Yes, it seemed sold out everywhere for a while!
L'interdit Rouge Is such a beautiful spicy, tuberose. I wear in in cool/cold weather. It is definitely a Wow!
It really is!
Lilacs remind me of childhood. I'd love to try that one. Building a list,lol
It was a surprise but I love it!
Marie what do you think about l'interdit intense the black bottle? Which one you're prefere ?❤
I think that one is beautiful. I prefer rouge but intense is gorgeous as well. It's worth sniffing both to see which one you favour!
Hi Maria Julianna also has a dupe for AEA - have you sniffed it? I wonder if it’s a good one?
I haven’t but others have said it’s amazing.
Hallo. Une nuit nomade Click Song and Rose America big big love 4ever❤❤❤
Oh, that's super cool that you like those ones!
Yo soy una chica L' interdit sin duda pero en mi opinión el mejor es : L' interdit Rouge. 👍💌
I agree!!
Can you do a comparison between jpg la belle and it’s flankers?
Do you mean La Belle and La Belle Le Parfum?
@@mariacollettlife yes
Starting off with two unicorns lolol!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
🤣
I'd love to try noir pour femme, but I don't think it'll go so good with my jammies😂
It will make your Jammie’s smell like a fancy outfit! 😜
@@mariacollettlife 🤣
❤
😍
Would a combo of Alien and Myrrh and Tonka be close to AEA?
Try alien and girl of now.
@@Sammiein I will! Thanks for the tip!
No but that would smell very nice. AEA is much more resinous and medicinal….it smells like a potion of some sort
Poop i 😂😂😂
Poopie 😂
🤣
Yes, indeed, there really are some perfumes that make you smell like you are wearing a poopy dress 😅💩☠️
🤣🤣🤣
