Thank you for making this. I almost got sucked into blind buying Tilia because of all the great reviews. I like to have unique stand alone fragrances in my collection so will pass on Tilia based on your review. IMO Possibilities smells like Guidance without incense. So if Tilia is another iteration of possibilities I don’t think I need it in my collection. I’m curious what you think Fleur narcotique extrait is similar to if you have it in your collection. Thanks again!

Thank you for your kind words. Oh, yes, you don't need Tilia. Now that you brought it up, Possibilities smell like Guidance without incense indeed. I don't have Fleur Narcotique Extrait, unfortunately. I only had a travel size of the normal Fleur Narcotique. What do you think?

OMG … This made me laugh … I love Sonia Constant and Ella K, too … I was SOOOO excited for Orchid K! Thankfully, I only bought a 10ml (I would have blind bought it if it wasn’t so difficult in the U.S.). I have NEVER been so dissapointed. I literally only get Abrofix. I don’t even get sweetness -Just synthetic ambergris. It absolutely feels undone to me as well. In talking to others, it seems ambrofix is not smelled by some people (Kinda like taste with cilantro)… I can imagine there is something beautiful in there somewhere, but I can’t get to it! I really hope her future offerings back off this note. 😭 I really, REALLY hope you continue your channel -I’d love to watch how you narrow down your collection (Something ii’m working on myself). 👍

Commodity Nectar is my worst blind buy; smells straight up like an ashtray to me 🚬🤮 Finally got my Tilia sample, she’s pretty but not sure I’m really wowed. Need to try her again one of these days.

So, I give it away and my friend she loved it! I hope I will learn from that experience!😂😂😂 O, I remember now I have one more and that is “Black Phantom”- Kiljan!:))) That one I wore but still there is something in that fragrance that is bugging me!😅😅😅 Thank you for your video and always looking forward for more!😊❤

Orchid K was my worst blind buy in a while as well which I didn’t see coming. I was for sure I was going to love it but I was so disappointed especially considering I love her line and have many fragrances of hers with one being my signature scent but honestly Orchid K was just awful, so much woods and ambrofix, very artificial.

Hii, I'm a new subscriber and am really enjoying your videos 🙂Orchid K is one I'm really looking forward to, but am slightly wary now after hearing your thoughts. As soon as I saw the notes I figured it may be similar to LDBS, Sintra, Oriana etc and I was just hoping it was different/ unique enough. I rarely blind buy these days, maybe just twice a year for things it's impossible to sample (Miguel Matos and Ikiryo were the ones I did last year) and I don't regret any of those thankfully! I remember smelling Panettone in a shop in Budapest when I was on holiday year and found it odd and thoroughly underwhelming! I agree re: customer service and would feel exactly the same re: a missing sample.

That fragrantica comment on Classica is giving me life 😂 I’m the kind of person who can appreciate and wear LOTS of fragrances, and very few are truly ghastly to me. That said, my worst cheapie blind buy was Lattafa’s Ajwad (completely intolerable). I typically don’t blind-buy niche, but I did just do that with Insolence and it’s nowhere near ghastly, but I am just kind of on the fence (needs a full wear, I only sprayed once). 😬

My worst blind purchase is my most recent ; Molinard Lavende , first spray on test strip is a vile chemical almost wood alcohol scent which dominates everything else . Lavender should be a comforting enveloping clean scent but this is contrary . Spraying on my wrist the chemical stench disappeared almost completely after several hours but remained with a boring powdery scent and nothing else . If this is how it’s supposed to smell then this is simply “ lousy “ perfumery . I’m sending it back to the retailer for their evaluation , hopefully it’s just a spoiled or contaminated juice during the filling process .

I was overspending for most of my life on different items, now I know that it was for similar reasons you mentioned. At the beginning of 2023 I spent a month on intense meditation and since then I don’t feel any urge to splurge my money on anything unnecessary. I have enough clothes and perfumes etc I much prefer to concentrate on my inner self these days. The technique of letting go by Dr Hawkins is phenomenal. Thanks for the video All the best
