  • Hi! All perfumes I own were purchased with my own money. I don't get PR or freebies, so the most helpful thing you can do for me if you like my videos is to subscribe to my channel! :)
    I don't add specific links to where I buy perfumes because prices and availability differ according to country, stock, time of year and retailer offers. As with allllll my perfumes, I’m a bargain hunter so I always search Google to find the best price and I always suggest that my viewers do the same, but if I find any good codes I'll put them in the "about" section on my channel ;)

      haha I’ve had that with soooooo many perfumes! I’ve not attempted a full wear of Bianco Latte yet but I’ll update when I do!

    I used to think Prada Candy was just okay until I wore it in cold weather and then it absolutely transformed and blossomed into something beautiful. It’s become the first scent I reach for when the weather turns and Fall rolls around. Funny how fragrances can morph with temperature. I had the same reaction to Blanche Bete. It smells floral on me too.

      I think Prada Candy would be so cosy - I’m looking forward to doing a full wear of that one!

    We seem to have a similar nose so I can always trust your opinion. Thanks!

    I know you usually don't like lataffas, but for anyone wondering/looking for a blanche bete dupe - lattafa will be coming out with a dupe called her confession on september 16.

      It's a shame that so many reviewers in the West look down on Middle Eastern perfumes, I find that very annoying. Like they are being judgy by just trying some "dupes" they heard of..... Whereas many Middle Eastern perfumes houses are brilliant niche brands that are actually better than some designer ones from the West. 😅
      What a shame! Really.

      @SAMIRA0209 I can't talk on every reviewer, but I don't think I've ever heard Cassie look down or be negative about fragrances just because they're ME brands. The aroma chemicals seem to be the problem; it's not an East versus West thing.

      @@kathywitter6076 the aroma chemicals of the cheaper ME dupes can be the problem, I'm not denying that. But my point was don't dismiss all ME brands thinking all of them are dupes, coz they aren't. Just like not all Western brands are designers or they don't make cheapy synthetic perfumes, coz they do! My statement was that most, I didn't say all, reviewers from the west just assume that ME brands are cheapy dupes. Lattafa and Afnan seem to have ruined the ME brand market name because they do make mostly dupes. But so does ZARA and I don't see these receivers shying away from trying their perfumes. How many western reviewers have researched or even tried houses like Hind Al Oud or Gissah or Ibrahim Al Qurashi and so many others I can name, who do amazing, long lasting (8-10 hours +) orignals!? So yes there is an overall bias I've noticed. And that is indeed a shame 😐

      I think of Middle Eastern Brands in exactly the same way I do designer brands tbh. There aren’t many houses that work for me so if I try a few and they share the same aroma chemicals, I just won’t try more. I don’t like to be negative all the time or throw my money away so if a house does work for me I just avoid it. MFK use the same Aroma Chemicals as Lattafa and I don’t look down on either house…. I just don’t like them!
      I’ve not had the same problem so far with Paris Corner, but I’ve also not found anything I want a bottle of. my channel is not about snobbery at all, it’s about me and my fussy nose 😅

    I have the same experience with Panettone; I can't smell any sweetness and it's been my biggest fail 😢

    • @johannahhuttenstone

      I also don’t appreciate any fruits in my Panettone, mostly I smell the yeasty aspects and very dry and powdery on me
