@@Crebaby_23 I just got that confection one in today that’s supposed to be a dupe for kayali candy rock vanilla something (names too long, ha!). I’ve only sprayed twice but it’s maybe 90% close right now. Loving your videos!
Athena to me is a vanilla gourmand that a person that loves clean fragrances would like. I get the lavender in this and the lactonic note. It's also a smooth blend and not too sharp or synthetic. Its been out for a min and I am just glad I was put on before TikTok hyped it.
The hype on Burberry Goddess did not touch me, I liked it at first but lately I've realized I don't anymore, since I smelled the intense, I realized I am not in love with the OG anymore. Moreover I have a 50 ml bottle and never really wear it, so then I forced myself to really wear it and not just liking it by smelling it by small spray here and there. Won't repurchase contrary to what I thought before
I can't believe you pumped out this video on your lunch break! 😮 You're a rockstar! I know what you mean about Nebras. I can see how people love it but it gave me the same issue as you had with it. I had to pass.
@@jlbeauty.reviews Girl outta breath struggling 🤣 🤦🏾♀️Take it off my hands sis! I tired to grab that Valentino intense from you girl it was gone in minutes 😭
Hello! The Oud version of EV wasn't available in the USA. The ones dated 04/24 and onward are the new version. It being reformulated is what took it so long to be available in the States. I had to get the Oud version from Africa!
Thank you for that visual with the comparison of other fragrances to get an idea of Athena! That was SO HELPFUL! I also don't like Black Opium. Something in it turns my stomach. It smells nice, but like you said, not a love, so keep it moving. Loving this video!
Anybody that has Arabian fragrances knows you must let these sit for 2 to 6 months before they are going to give you anything back. Athena for me has been very strong and gets stronger every time I use it. With that said, I have only had it about four weeks . Still too early to tell if it's going to be a banger . It projects like crazy tons of compliments on this one. The dolce and Gabbana is not for me either. I agree with you on that one it just doesn't project. The smell is strange as well.
@@marywendt7 I’m not new to the Arabian fragrances love. I know how it goes. That said, there was nothing wrong with any I spoke about in this video projection wise. They just aren’t my scent preferences. That’s not going to change in a month or a year. Thanks for watching & sharing your thoughts.
Hey Cre🥰🥰I love when you do videos like this. It really helps me to see also that I notice things that I really can’t put my finger on. There is something about Nebras to me as well I definitely thought I would have reached for it more than I have. I have a travel of Devotion and I know I won’t repurchase that one. I think to finish it I’m going to wear Iced Lemon Poundcake with it. Great video!!
Agree, it’s just ok and For the price, I definitely would like for it to project better than what it does. Maybe because they’re more of a “clean” fragrance line, but I had to return mine.
I thought it was my nose when it comes to that chemical aromatics in Nebras! I’m glad you started that bc it’s a love for A LOT of ppl, BUT for me…. Nawlll!!!! I can smell the chocolate and vanilla but that odd scent is standing in the front of those notes that I can’t even get around it!
I like how cutthroat you are with the declutters. I need to be more decisive when I'm deciding what to get rid of. I think they could have eliminated that odd mint/mentholy note in Nebras. It always throws the scent off for me
@@kellyhinrichs7403 Thank you. I feel Like we can lie to others, but not to ourselves so why lie at all. Can’t force the love 🤷🏾♀️. It’s ok to let go.
I only have a trial size of devotion and still haven't gotten through it 😮💨. Have had it since June, think I have 1 wear left and I'm done with it. Was curious about Athena, but I'm not the biggest fan of Goddess. It actually pulls floral on my skin🤷🏿♀️
@@Crebaby_23 I don’t blame u a bit!!! I have yet to find a fragrance house where I love every single fragrance they offer girl!! That’s because your not out here being disingenuous.
I recently got Mont Blanc Signature, and unfortunately, it’s not working for me at all 😭. The opening is pleasant but it changes quickly-within a few minutes it turns into a very sharp scent that I can’t stand. I think the musk might be the issue. I’ve realized that I don’t like musky fragrances. I’ve had to declutter Tahara Vanilla, Noa by Chacharel, Irrésistible Fraiche by Givenchy, and Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker. On Fragrantica, they all have musk at the top or close to the top of the scent pyramid. Lots of trial and error unfortunately but now I know
@@sadiakhan9929 Hey thanks for sharing. Mint blanc has gotten me like that two times over. Something about it I like, but in the same breath theirs a sharpness like you said it bothers me after a while.
Yeah! I remember you mentioning that. Thats why my bottle is in jail for now. I’ll revisit it in a couple of months. I can add one more … Mohra Silky Rose … that had to go too 😭
lol you sound personally offended by that praline and pistachio one, like it offended your mom or something. I’ve never smelled it but now I kind of want to because it sounds like it really pissed you off.😂 And I too, am struggling with the black opium perfume. I tried it last winter and liked it, especially mixed with angels share, but on its own, it gets really sweet and it does have a weird lingering after smell. I might be returning it. We have similar taste in perfume I think. I’m curious what you think of vanilla romance from Bath and body works because that one smells dirty to me also, salty and dirty
@@Jen-yk7kv Hey love lol that praline and pistachio really threw me off lol. I had such high hopes from the name to all the hype it got. I was so confused. I really can’t stand that buttery popcorn 🍿 smell. I lthiught vanilla romance was pretty. It definitely does get a little earthy in the dry down for sure. It’s not my fave, but I do have it.
I decluttered Valentino voce viva intense I feel like it’s too light on me, and it smells a bit like Libre … I’m not liking devotion OR the devotion intense ….
On your lunch break??? OKAY THEN BEST FRIEND!!! I didn't know u worked a regular job too. What kind of work do u do Cre?? Just curious but if it's to personal to answer that's okay 😊❤❤
Loved this declutter👏 No point in hanging onto unnecessary items ✨
@@jlbeauty.reviews Right!!! love your declutters💕
“If I were to keep it, it would be just to say I have it,” really hit my throat haha I needed to hear that.
@@aleishabudgetbeauty Lol girl I really be having to call myself out!!
I got Empire Victor too last week and it’s beautiful. It’s like a really soft Lira to me.
@@kara8911 I’m glad you’re enjoying it too🙂

Dang you weren’t playing, got it done on the lunch break. This is a nice declutter. ❤️ You know I love my BO Le Parfum….i forgive you 😂

@@brendaschenk9390 aww thank you!! There is definitely something in Nebras that is off putting. If it weren’t for that note I’d be in love.
Hey friend!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I love a good declutter!🙌🏻🤓
@@Mamabearperfumechannel Hey boo!!!
Great video honest and to the point ❤thank you for this in depth analysis.
@@HerFragrantGarden You are welcome!
Once I declutter one category, It’s all down or uphill haha from there. Every room is on the chopping block 😂
@@aleishabudgetbeauty Right?! It gets easier everytime too.
Vanilla sky is so just okay 💯
@@aleishabudgetbeauty very much so!

Are you still decluttering empire Victor? Where is it available to purchase?
@@brittanyb5293 Hey love I never decluttered that fragrance.
Oh wow devotion did get so much deeper color wise
@@aleishabudgetbeauty I’m telling you mines was thickkkk & rich!

@@kellyhinrichs7403 Thank you. I feel
Like we can lie to others, but not to ourselves so why lie at all. Can’t force the love 🤷🏾♀️. It’s ok to let go.
And not to mention the crazy price hikes of some of these dupe brands LATTAFA MAISON ALHAMBRA
I only have a trial size of devotion and still haven't gotten through it 😮💨. Have had it since June, think I have 1 wear left and I'm done with it. Was curious about Athena, but I'm not the biggest fan of Goddess. It actually pulls floral on my skin🤷🏿♀️
@@venuss2000 Yeah I can’t rock with devotion or goddess atp.
Have you tried empire victor with affection? Creamy!
@@butterbacon7673 No I haven’t. But I will. Thanks for sharing.
I love the ORIGINAL FORMULATION of Black opium but the new formula and flankers are a no go to my nose. I pick up the earthy note as as well
@@Jus_asha I come to terms with the fact that Black opium is just not for me. I will not try again 🤣

Almost thought you were ready to declutter Empire Victor and Athena 😅
@@evrytingkriss Lol got ya! Only Athena. Victoria is a win for sure.
Also I completely agree on Nebras. It's just weird to me. The aromatic part throws me way off
@@YummyGummy77 I really wish that part went away in the deep dry down.
Blank opium and I do NOT get along haha
