My best friend is from old money and Allure is her signature scent. To me, it smells very mature. But she has been rocking it since she was in her 20s.
Allure is gorgeous. I am 44 years old and wore allure in my early through mid-20s. It's a sophisticated and, dare I say, alluring fragrance that seems to appeal to adults across age groups.
Yes, I have been wearing this fragrance for many years as it’s been a favorite. I think of it as a signature fragrance but no one has complimented. Maybe, it only smells fabulous to me. I’m ready to update. Hopefully, I’ll find something new as I watch.
I've been getting elevated sophisticated old money vibes from the two decants I recently tracked down of this and last year's Shalimar limited editions. I never thought I would be a Shalimar woman, but I can't keep my hands off the Mellisime Vanilla Planifolia. (Wish I was old money so I could afford to hoard all the remaining bottles out there!)
Thanks for re-igniting my love of fragrances! It’s now a new hobby. As a single parent spending money for fragrances was a luxury - but I’ll never forget when I made more career moves - I would buy a new fragrance. I did not think anything of it at the time.. it was just what I wanted .. Creed - Hermes, Armani - and Channel. Now ..Thanks to you I’m discovering again, how much I love fragrances and exploring the different ones. Thanks for making these video’s! I thought I’d have A favorite by now.. but I have several instead.
Nishane Tuberoza is amazing, amazing I love it, they better never discontinue or change the formula. Nishane if you're reading be warned. I also love Gris Dior, a stunner, I would add Dominique Ropion for Frederick Malle Portrait of a Lady and Amouage Memoir.
That was my exact experience with Angelique Noir. I was repulsed with first whiff, like Black Orchid, and Miel du Bois, and now can not get enough. I feel it has that yin yang dynamic like Ormonde Jayne Woman, that I love on my clothes the next day. Thank you for the recommendation.
Interesting idea for a video. I agree with a lot of your picks. Old money scents are a bit more restrained and less indulgent. Someone from old money would not overspray either. Also, even though I like wearing scents from brands like: Tiziana Terenzi, Bond No 9, and intense fragrances such as Rouge Malachite sometimes, they can smell a bit sexy and trashy. A girl in a loud tracksuit walked by me in a luxury department store literally covered in BR540. She choked me out so badly that the fragrance actually gave off a vulgar vibe.
Perfect timing. I'm looking for some perfumes for my wife's xmas prezzies. I might plump for Dama Bianca & Fleur Burlesque, cause who doesn't love burlesque. Angelique Noire is one of my faves, too.
I loved this list - my daughter gave me a handful of samples of ones I wanted to try: Iris Malikhan, Carlisle (my two top favorites), Then: Volutes, Angelique Noir, Ivory Route, Gentle Fluidity. I was in a store the other day wearing Carlisle - two women walked by me, paused, and said “that’s the smell of a very expensive perfume”. so, there you go. I know I love wearing it. I don’t dislike any of them. Some are a little softer - I love both Ivory Route and Gentle Fluidity for that. For me Angelique Noir - A BANG of scent. Volutes is also wonderful with my body chemistry. I find myself reaching for a different one and enjoying each of them. It will be a difficult decision deciding which one to buy a full bottle of first.
You made m buy Angelique Noir. I remember all those years you preached about it and you were right! Finally got me a bottle this year. Unfortunately, I didn’t find the old bottle. But I love it and you are absolutely right about it! Greetings from Ghana 🇬🇭, West Africa
I feel the same way about Tuberose. I had Tuberoza and it had to go! Angelique Noir definitely puts me in the mind of old money for sure. Cuir Beluga is my favorite fragrance from Guerlain. You definitely pulled out the big guns for this one! I need a new bottle of Ivory Route. I wear this one so much in the winter. Ardent is a stunner! That fragrance was my introduction to the brand.
Agree 100% on the white chocolate vibe of Carlisle - from the Tonka bean- vanilla - nutmeg combo in there When rich smells yummy! Awesome video as always Demi 💰💵💄💄
I would add Gentle Fluidity Gold to the list. Every time I wear it I get this trust fund baby slowly taking over the family business empire and as the initial responsibility hosting a charity Gala, and walking and talking with the investors sorta vibe.
@@LeaLooove lol had to google who she is… must say not the one had in mind when I got the picture. Was inclining towards someone less bratty more empowered regardless of the spoilt upbringing 😅
I love Angelique Noire, Ivory Route, Gris Dior, and Allure, being Allure one of the first fragrances my husband give me when I moved to the USA . I may as well subscribe to your channel since I love many of the ones you have chosen here. Thank you for posting.
I Oh my, Allure by Chanel! I used to wear Allure 20+ years ago. Hadn’t worn it in almost two decades, recently bought a bottle and have been wearing on and off. I agree with this one smelling “rich” or “from old money” for sure..
Finally Gris Dior in a TOP list! Amazing scent and one of my favorites and has become my signature scent.❤ I always love to put this in the office when I want a bit more sophistication an confidence. Completely unique take on rose and patchouli and always gets me compliments.
I love it too. It definitely deserves its spot. It’s absolutely my favourite. As a young teen many centuries ago I saved up to buy Diorissimo (only 5 Dior choices then - Diorissimo, Diorling, Dioressence and Diorama - plus Miss Dior - but only the first 4 were available in my small town). I still keep a bottle of Diorissimo though it’s not easy to find these days, but though I like it, it’s not quite the same since being reformulated. But it’s still lovely and not too sweet. Since then I’ve added Rose n Roses (great for when you need to be subtle - wear it for work or medical appointments ), and very occasionally J’Adore intense, which really is a bit too sweet for me, but love love love this Dior Gris . It’s lasts ages on me too. I put 2 sprays on at 9 am - it’s now 2 pm and I can still pick it up - most perfumes only last a short time on me normally.
Thank you for for this list, took notes and will be ordering samples of practically everything on it 💕 I have a couple favorites, both discontinued, but not the best quality of either. I am looking for something similar, but hopefully better quality and longevity. One is Marc Jacobs Woman Eau de Parfum that has been discounted. The other is an oil by Bare Escentuals called Sea Mist, also discounted. However, it does not have to be an oil, just a good quality fragrance that is similar. If you have any ideas to substitute for these I would be thrilled!
I had a similar experience with Angelique Noire as you did. Saw some reviews saying it's one of the best vanilla perfume, went to the boutique to buy Neroli Outrenoir and got a sample of Angelique. Usually I don't like vanilla perfumes because they are too sweet and greasy for me. When I sprayed Angelique for first time, the green, grassy and bitter smell hit me in a bad way but then after 1-2 hours, the creaminess of vanilla came out, has transformed in a very luxurious, sophisticated smell. I even got complements from a guy in a store. He said that I was smelling so good and he doesn't know what I wear but I should keep wearing it and buy it, I felt very nice I must admit. In my country stranger guys just don't compliment your perfume in a public place, so it means he really, really liked it.
Out of my collection, I would say Chanel beige, Louis Vuitton heures d’absence, and maybe rose prick (vanille fatale for evening) Angelique nior for sure too… effortless class :)
I love Angelique Noire I don’t have a full bottle but I sure want to get it in my collection. I fell in love with the moment I smelled it. Maybe because it’s different and that’s what I love about fragrances.
Yes mine too so beautiful and underrated I revelry sprayed it and I couldn’t believe it lasted 12+ on my skin . Not many people use it here so everyone is always asking what I am wearing
You're right on the money with Dior. I feel Dior Addict edt, is very much epitome of rich life. It doesn't last long, but it's so uplifting. Beautiful!
Need to smell Gris Dior. Thanks to you I have and love Iris Malikhan and Ivory Route! Didn't like Guerlain's Angelique Noire, will give it another try. I have Chanel Allure and need to wear it. Great picks!
Nice list, I def have to try Carlisle! I would add Amouage Honour, Dior Addict and at least one Hermes - many of their perfumes have this old money dna to me.
To me Tuberose is a delicate subject as well. I strongly suspect that my sudden love for Tuberose largely depends on my hormones. 😄 I start loving it around my period and then start being more indifferent to it or even hating it.
Hi Great video I used to work with very wealthy people for Ella bache I used to love the perfumes they would use and they would not necessary wear expensive perfumes believe it or not Old money people were frugal with their money. Many would love old fashion perfumes like ordinary Tea Rose Gardinia Roses Violet perfumes Lilly of the valley also .
I love radical rose I got a sample and just put it on casually around home and oh it really develops beautifully I love rose fragrances. Thanks for including this fragrance
Oh no! I thought Athalia would be part of the list. I think it smells like velvet gloves, and everyone who's smelled it on me seems to like it. No surprise on Diptyque, the whole line smells like old money for sure
I always felt that way about Joy. I wore it in the 70s when one of the executives-a Grace Kelly lookalike-wore it every day. My budget was far more limited so I only wore it on special occasions and dates.
I would add Tom Ford Eau de Soleil Blanc, not suitable for this list from the first glance, but it is definitely old money lady on the beach vacation somewhere in Spanish Marbella or Monaco, walking on the streets wearing all white, nice hat and designer sunglasses.
I own allure and it’s a yes from me I always get compliments and not many people use that perfume here it’s so underrated but long lasting and so alluring .
Was looking forward to this topic from you, Demi! I’m about to explore Parfums de Marly house & will now be adding Carlisle to my (long) list. Dama Bianca is my signature scent, and people definitely notice it; especially men~ 👀👀
Hi Demi,, you are a respected and experienced fragrance reviewer. You are always truthful, there is not the need to pre qualify your statements with ... ' I'm not gonna lie' because there is an implication that truthfulness is not the norm. Similarly if we say 'if I'm being honest with you' or to be totally honest with you' or 'to be honest' ... again those statements are not required because being honest is normal for us.
@@demirawling Hi Demi, anyway who am I to comment. You are a master of your craft and I couldn't come anywhere near to doing as successfully what you do
I've noticed a lot of iris in here (or orris root I guess?). I'd say my number one note in fragrances. Some people comment that I smell like an old lady when I wear iris (for example, "Love, Chloe"), but I guess I just smell like old money!! 😅
I agree, my gourmands are definitely girly and not elegant but... in these difficult times, even being well ensconced needs a parfum that is an embrace ;) 😉
The choice of a perfume is highly personal. It must be love at first smell. From my grandmother, my mother, aunts, cousins to my daughter etc., the women in my family wear perfume every day, but according to our tastes and not because it is worn by wealthy women and costs a bomb. Smell like a rich girl is totally stupid.
I love Guerlain "Angelique Noire" is fabulous! It is an acquired wear fragrance. And I wear Diptyque "Volutes" quite often; it is a skin scent. I love the Hay note along with the immortelle coming out in the middle and then finishing off with the base notes of: Benzoin, Opoponax, and Myrhh. I prefer the EDT instead of the EDP though.
I fell in love with Dama Bianca when I first sniffed it. I agree with your assessment - understated, but elegant, classy, and effortlessly beautiful. That's why a full bottle is on the way to me as I type
I wonder why many consider Guerlain designer, true they sell other boudoir products like lotions and makeup, but they have always been in perfume business and nothing else really. Also other historical niche French brands like E. coudray always produced perfumes and other boudoir products like bath foams and lotions. Personally I am not considering Guerlain designer and I also love their work. What do you think?
@@perfeptions these are great observations I think because they make makeup and are known for makeup it kind of feels like their main purpose but I could be so so wrong about that. It’s also widely available and sold in sephoras etc which could still be niche I guess to me it just feels less niche than other houses
@@CeliaCavalli Guerlain’s main purpose has always been perfumery. This is how they started and it’s why they are famous. Beauty and makeup are a differentiation of their business essentially 🥰
Herrera Tuberose is the most elegant old money Tuberose perfume followed by Love Tuberose by Amouage I remember I disco eres you reviewing Angelique Noire I do have Bois D Armenie is just sublime magic my favorite from Xerjoff is More than words a truly bold money for mature men and woman is Mitsouko by Guerlain and Santal Blanc from Van Cleef and Arpels Allure is amazing a huge compliment getter and very long lasting I don’t find anything soft about it …
Thanks for this! I now have a few more to try. I had to laugh to myself when you mentioned Allure. I fully agree - it was the very first fragrance I purchased for myself and completed the bottle (which is not the case with all other fragrances I purchased after that). The fragrance I never learned to appreciate is MISSONI. Not a good choice for me. Has anyone else tried it and had the same experience?
I remember the first time I smelt and purchased Ivory Route. The sales lady sprayed it on my wrist and i gave it a whiff; i looked at her, she asked what I thought and I said, "I'd be quite happy to smell like only this for the the rest of my days, I'll take it."
I was given a perfume a long time ago. I have forgotten the name.It was from France and the topof the bottle was like a lamp shade. It suited me. I can't find it anywhere. It was special
I agree with your assessment of Angelique Noir. I own it and love it. I am a Guerlainophile so I am very bias. And yes, the image of an older monied woman dressed in cashmere and furs, carrying a Birkin in Paris is moi. 😉👍🏻 life is very good
My mom and chanel nr 5...whenever my dad wants to make her happy another bottle appears 🤣 me im all about ysl and yvresse is my passion. Im lucky to still have a bottle of the non reformulated one 😍
Coffee gives me such bad anxiety… Legit sometimes can’t even drink it at all. But love the taste and ritual ☕️ I switched to low caffeine energy drinks or tea 🍵 But I do miss my creamy coffee 😅 It’s such a vibe.
I feel that perfume has to have good chemistry with ones body! Not just any perfume can be worn by anyone!
Exactly
Absolutely!
A little tip for that is spraying it on your clothes instead. It lasts longer and won't be affected by your b.o
@@michellek.w8260 good tip but i can tell you that i sprayed armani's si passione on my shirt and it still stank on me. Good thing it was a sample 🤣🤣
@@etcwhatever Damn!😂😂 Sorry about that. No blind buying for you I guess..😅
I wore Angelique Noir for some time, but to me, Beige from Chanel, is the most sophisticated fragrance ever felt.

I definitely don't come from old money, but wore Allure on my wedding day 16 years ago. The body cream (if they still make it?) is TDF!

It's crazy how I can smell different fragrances in my room while I'm listening to your description.
Wonderful list Demi! I purchased Ivory Route a few years ago because of you and it is my number one most favorite vanilla of all time!
I would definitely add Xerjoff's Pikovaya Dama🥰 It's just on another level🙌

3-5 cups a day.

Do a celebrity video. I could never afford these. ♥️
Boucheron, one of the most beautiful old fragrances.
As a man I enjoy wearing Iris Malkian
I can't get passed the opening of Iris Malikhan. the dry down is heavenly, but the vegetable/celery opening is weird.

Angelique Noire is definitely my favorite from the line!
Also spirtuese double vanille.
So so good!
Guerlain is probably my favorite designer line.
I wonder why many consider Guerlain designer, true they sell other boudoir products like lotions and makeup, but they have always been in perfume business and nothing else really. Also other historical niche French brands like E. coudray always produced perfumes and other boudoir products like bath foams and lotions. Personally I am not considering Guerlain designer and I also love their work. What do you think?
@@perfeptions these are great observations I think because they make makeup and are known for makeup it kind of feels like their main purpose but I could be so so wrong about that.
It’s also widely available and sold in sephoras etc which could still be niche I guess to me it just feels less niche than other houses
Angelique Noir and Cuir Beluga are my favorites in this Guerlain line, but I also really liked this year's new Cherry Oud.❤
@@CeliaCavalli Guerlain’s main purpose has always been perfumery. This is how they started and it’s why they are famous. Beauty and makeup are a differentiation of their business essentially 🥰
@@perfeptions thanks for the insight! I did not know ☺️
Thank you Demi fab list! Tuberoza one of my all time favorites definitely a must have!
Eau du soir of sisley smells old money as well.
Definitely! I was almost going to include it in the video..🤍
I agree!
I wear Clinique Aromatics Elixir and get complimented ALL the time.
I love angelique noise
Herrera Tuberose is the most elegant old money Tuberose perfume followed by Love Tuberose by Amouage I remember I disco eres you reviewing Angelique Noire I do have Bois D Armenie is just sublime magic my favorite from Xerjoff is More than words a truly bold money for mature men and woman is Mitsouko by Guerlain and Santal Blanc from Van Cleef and Arpels Allure is amazing a huge compliment getter and very long lasting I don’t find anything soft about it …
For me, Hermes Osmanthe Yunnan fits the bill! Effortless elegance.
I smelled Poeme and I HAD to have it sooo classy but ended up giving to my Momma bc the die down just wasn’t for me
Thanks for this! I now have a few more to try. I had to laugh to myself when you mentioned Allure. I fully agree - it was the very first fragrance I purchased for myself and completed the bottle (which is not the case with all other fragrances I purchased after that). The fragrance I never learned to appreciate is MISSONI. Not a good choice for me. Has anyone else tried it and had the same experience?
Radical rose was the same for me 💕 started with a tester and now I want it 😂
Hi this is Latonya I drink coffee everyday before I go to work my favorite is iced coffee vanilla
Ivory route is my go to 😍 the notes are vaulted. But smells like sexy sweet and slightly spicy with Cuban cigar vibes type of fragrance
I remember the first time I smelt and purchased Ivory Route. The sales lady sprayed it on my wrist and i gave it a whiff; i looked at her, she asked what I thought and I said, "I'd be quite happy to smell like only this for the the rest of my days, I'll take it."
Excellent video. Thanks again for the fragrance you sent me
I was given a perfume a long time ago. I have forgotten the name.It was from France and the topof the bottle was like a lamp shade. It suited me. I can't find it anywhere. It was special
I agree with your assessment of Angelique Noir. I own it and love it.
I am a Guerlainophile so I am very bias. And yes, the image of an older monied woman dressed in cashmere and furs, carrying a Birkin in Paris is moi. 😉👍🏻 life is very good
I got MFK oud satin mood because of you,and,i'm obssesed with it!!
🥰🥰
Oooh looking forward to this!
Great video and I enjoyed it and my wife might like these fragrances and have a blessed day
Chanel perfumes are old money in my opinion 🥰
#22 is my all-time favorite scent.
My mom and chanel nr 5...whenever my dad wants to make her happy another bottle appears 🤣 me im all about ysl and yvresse is my passion. Im lucky to still have a bottle of the non reformulated one 😍
@@etcwhatever I never understood why #5 is sooo " popular" . Smells like 👶 powder to me !
"Samsara" by Guerlain, " Allure" by Chanel, " Jasmin Noir" by BVULGARI.
absolutely agree!
GUERLAIN comme L'heure bleu... par exemple.
For me it’s Oud satin mood Extrait and Celine Black tie
Coffee gives me such bad anxiety…
Legit sometimes can’t even drink it at all.
But love the taste and ritual ☕️
I switched to low caffeine energy drinks or tea 🍵
But I do miss my creamy coffee 😅
It’s such a vibe.
Me too!! I think I’ll try to switch to matcha 😩🙏🏻
@@demirawling 🥹😂 girl the struggle is real!
Me too. I just switched to Sanka decaffeinated coffee. I had to.
Interesting i think iris malikan is pretty masculine
For me patchouli smells of money. So I would add coromandel from Chanel to your list
Yes I agree!! 😍
