I love his assessment of all fruits as either orange or berry. My husband can't pick notes but on me he loves really girly fruity florals which are not my fave, and not anything unisex as much.

haha I know it’s so funny! he smells orange or strawberry and knows no other fruits 😂 he’s getting much better with recognising when perfumes share notes though…. even if he doesn’t know what the note is! Bless him he is so supportive of my channel and he really tries to take an interest ❤️

I paid an arm and a leg for Ghost in the US because it's supposed to smell like Avon, Karmala. It was a huge let down. Speaking of sweets, I tried Lancome, Hypnose today and fell in love. It's black licorice in a bottle, even though there's no anise in it at all. I tried Lolita Lempika and several others but they all smelled like baby wipes to me. This one is spot on and reminds me a bit of Loverdose. Always a good day when a picky girl finds herself a new perfume. Maybe you can find a turkish delight oil? I like layering perfume with single note oils. Works out great, especially if you have dry skin.

I actually have the solid version of Lush Rose Jam now (nicer than the spray imho!) and Rochas Tocade, which has a vanilla and amber base but really makes me think of traditional Turkish delight dusted with powdered sugar! both are only good for me in cold weather though but that’s cool - I prefer fruity rose perfumes in the warm weather!

Gave the original Glow another chance today. It does smell like ivory soap but I also get this plastic-y, doll head note on my skin. Kinda strange but I do enjoy the dry down. Also picked up Anais Anais. Hyacinth bomb & I love it. Very soft & feminine. 💜

the last time I tested my sample (which is over a year old now) it actually lasted rather well! wonder if these get more intense as they age? Sur La Nil pops up on eBay all the time - probably a bit too challenging for some - so maybe you could do what I do and get an unboxed bottle for a good price!

The name kinda attracts me. Unfortunately i can only order it online because i can't find it at stores where I live. So i need your opinion if i would enjoy this one too as a huge fan of the fantasy one? Thanks in advance!

I’m afraid I don’t know! it’s not like the fantasy line really, it’s closer to Private Show. The Fantasy line all smell terrible on me but Prerogative smells great, so definitely different ingredients in this line!

i recently tested an old sample of diorella that i have, and to me it came off as primarily strong lemon oil plus aldehydic soap - ivory soap, if you know that reference. i wonder if my sample had gone off, because i really didn't get much of anything else, not even in the drydown (maybe the faintest bit of vetiver; no florals at all) certainly not any of the notes listed in the vintage like you picked up. i wonder if i should purchase a decant again and retest (there's a decant site here in the US that i got my sample from).

i love cinema. have loved it since i smelled it on a test strip in a magazine when it first came out. i finally JUST got an EDP bottle recently, and i'm glad i did as it's been discontinued, at least here in the US. how to describe it? hmm... sparkly at the top, yet also plush and sophisticated. not loud - quite soft, which is perhaps a bit surprising given the name / marketing campaign. anyway, i really enjoy it as a perfume, i'm glad it's not too sweet compared to so many designer scents today, and yet that it's still modern. i also own the EDT (accidentally bought the EDT first a few years ago) and it's beautiful too, just a bit lighter and wearable in summer.

I went and checked La Rive’s own website, and they do list tuberose as one of the notes in My Way. According to them, the top notes are orange blossom and bergamot, middle notes are tuberose and Indian jasmine, and base notes are vanilla, white musk and cedarwood. Hope you’re well and will continue making these wonderful videos!😌

I just started watching your channel, so I don’t know how you feel about literal gourmands - but DUA is a dupe company in the U.S. that clones a lot of expensive perfumes and iconic formulations of perfumes (like the original version of Hypnotic Poison). They also have their own original creations, including lots of gourmands. They have a scent called Banana Foster that is supposed to smell literally like the dessert. I want to try it so bad as most banana scents are very fleeting and DUA perfumes are very strong.

A woman said 1881 reminded her of Fancy Love, which is a scent I adore. I think I'll pick up the Shiro first, though, because it's been discontinued.
