Just discovered this hidden gem of a fragrance channel. You're so charismatic, funny, genuine and knowledgeable; a sort of throwback to some of the best 90's television presenters. i think you're 1000x better than many of these fragrance review personalities with millions of views. You have amazing storytelling ability and a tremendous gift of speech. I just want to offer up encouragement to keep sharing your talent while expressing gratitude for the invaluable content you're providing.

My decades long and expensive search for a scent resembling the original Ysatis (1984) led me here so you're my reward. I'll subscribe. Can you help me? The many bottles of vintage Ysatis have been too aged and horrible. And the newer versions are IMO undeserving of the name. I have a travel size of this one on the way but I'm thinking it might be another miss. Thoughts?
@SCENTGOURMAND13 күн бұрын
Hey there! Cheers for the sub! Finding still-good vintage is a challenge. The top notes will generally always be gone, so you'll never get exactly the same as the original anyway, and you risk getting something that has gone "off" (sometimes the seller does not even know this, in their defense). I have purchased vintage fragrance from Etsy (or all places) second-hand shops (local) and mercari.jp (my preferred choice here in Japan), but it's really hit or miss! Sometimes it is a big win, though. I think you just have to be willing to gamble a bit.

What an interesting topic! I used to buy fake stuff in high school because I simply couldn't afford what I wanted. It's desirable, and if I can get what I want from a LYXBAGS for a few dozen bucks, sure, why not?

I use my LYXBAGS as a work bag and have had no issues at all. Itâ s a comfortable bag, fits a good amount and hadnâ t lost its shape. With that being said, I also take care of all my bags and donâ t carry a water bottle, pens, keys or anything that can damage the interio

As a fashion blogger who loves traveling. During a cross-country trip, I accidentally lost my expensive designer handbag at the airport. This experience made me realize that instead of worrying about expensive luxury goods, it is better to choose a well-designed bag from LYXBAGS .

Who cares what someone has or doesn’t have. It doesn’t make you any better than anybody else. Real or fake. It’s nobody’s business unless you’re paying their bills. I think some people are just butt hurt by the fact that they spent $5,000 on a handbag and anyone can get LYXBAGS that looks identical for a few hundred bucks or less. Stop worrying about stuff that doesn’t matter.

Cheers! You're the first to ask about Jp content! I was thinking about doing that but didn't know if anyone would be interested. Or where to start without going out of my bag and frag zone here on YT. I live in a relatively rural area (by Japan standards), but perhaps it might still be interesting... And yes, the art is Rothko on the right, and the 2 at left are Murakami (the smiling flowers on Louis Vuitton) - not the originals, obviously! 😉 I have yet to try Patchouli Noir but i have a set of samples that I've not yet opened. I shall investigate! 😁

Try taking the cap off and turning the bottle upside down and using your finger nail, or maybe a pen or something, to push it in a few times. It may help to spray full sprays.

I think it's a bit outrageous for people to be walking around a big city with a $10,000+ designer bag on their arm, you might as well hold up a "please rob me" sign. Secondly, I really don't feel sorry for these brands, they raise their prices at least twice a year, so basically they are driving any potential customers into buying fakes luxrul
@SCENTGOURMAND16 күн бұрын
Yeah, I am not a fan of fakes. Dupes, yeah, but not fakes. That said, I am so irked by the price hikes that part of me wants to get a superflake just to give the bird to the lux brands! I don't mind high prices for quality goods, amazing design, and reputable branding, but at the pricing now? They are laughing at us or just niching down to solely the top 1%, for whom the price hikes do not matter so much.
