15 POPULAR PERFUMES I HAVE DECLUTTERED FROM MY COLLECTION AND WHY?! 👀

[@DarlingNikki2]

Wow, I can't believe people were coming at you for not liking a fragrance! I personally can't take how oily and over the top sweet Oud Satin Mood is, but I definitely appreciate the artistry of it. I'm actually curious to see if Oud Silk Mood would sit better with me, but I do tend to have problems with Francis Kurkdjian creations for some reason, so I'm not in a rush.

[@ChaoticCurlz]

I am an oud satin mood stan😆 but I get where it might not sit well with others. It is quite sweet and powdery but in the best way possible.😊 Oud silk mood is definitely less sweet and more woody and herbaceous if that makes sense. Still a lovely scent in my opinion.

[@barbarabennet7096]

Awesome video. You might like AR Fragrances (Asorock Fragrances), a relatively new in the realm of perfume dupes, serves as a prime illustration of such alternatives. Impressively, their fragrances closely mirror the authenticity of designer scents.

[@Amaonsbru]

Totally agree with you regarding Oud satin mood! I actually felt sick to my stomach every time I tried it 😢🤮 It's way too powdery and vintage for my taste. I really don't understand why people get mad about a difference of opinions regarding fragrance. Like, it's only perfume, get over it 😂

[@kerrierohr9341]

Good lord, I can't believe people were giving you hate. 😳 So many of your declutters are mine as well!

[@Mz.M.2757]

Hi Hayley, I decluttered Lira as well. And I too do not like gourmands that smell too much like food. Just not my bag. I felt that way about Xerjoff Italica and others in that profile that I no longer own. I love Rouge Malachite though...lots of compliments on that one😊😊

[@jenniferocampo3873]

I gladly buy Meliora off of you!! One of my fave spring scents 💞

[@monikam8096]

Agree!! Oud satin mood smells awful on me too …

[@StanescuGabi]

I do regret not keeping at least a 5 ml decant from some bottles I decluttered. Like you said, now I miss some of them …for example Initio Psychedelic Love and also La Danza Delle Libellule!

[@SocaTrain]

Feel the exact same way about Lira but every time I sniff the atomizer I’m like “this smells so good” then I never wear it haha. I definitely decluttered Italica though, it smelled way too much like actual food.

[@mariezapanta8839]

Hello Hayley! I feel the same way about Rouge Malachite, it was a full LOVE when I tested it, but my nose changed when I bought the bottle, thank goodness I just have the small bottle. There are rare occasions when I crave it….I also don’t get along with most tuberose. 😊

[@FayeCNL]

Confessions of a fragrance addict. Oud satin mood though 😲 I didn't love it but now I adore it 💕

[@sidselalbertsen898]

Hi, I declutterede Lira to of same reason as you 😊 Rouge Malachite is on sale now, because Im not to happy about tuberose.. Just like you❤

[@Superplin]

So many of the fragrances popular online are very literal interpretations of gourmands, and it's just not my bag. I enjoy gourmand notes, but mostly in more complex blends that don't lean hard into the edible aspect. I also find that people who enjoy edible gourmands tend to describe scents from that perspective as well. I had heard people describe Tiziana Terenzi's Al Contrario as everything from a snickerdoodle cookie to a mug of hot chocolate, so it wasn't on my radar. Then I recently had occasion to smell it, and it didn't read to me as gourmand at all, on the whole (despite having several notes in that category). I fell in love and bought a bottle immediately. tL;dr Some people want to smell like food and some don't, and right now it seems most in the online perfume space do.

[@louselman]

I decluttered L'Imperatrice, Bianco Latte, Coco Vanille, Intense Cafe, - those fragrances reacted terribly with my body chemistry to the point of making me nauseous. I would love to see a part 2 of declutter.

[@aggiaggi8306]

Sad to see Lira and Meliora go, they are both stunning.

[@missmoonstone6260]

I love Lira, I think I’ll wear it today 😄. I love most gourmands. I sell fragrance so I can wear pretty much anything to work, but if I worked in an office, I would stick to clean fragrances.

[@aimeeanderson9258]

I love them- not exclusively- but when they are well executed, there's nothing better (in cold weather only)!

[@beaherzberg]

I decluttered so many of my favorites from when I was younger - or things I’d sampled and loved from years ago and then found on sale years later and my tastes had changed. Sometimes I still feel guilty about it! But I make a point now to only purchase things I really love now, and that I know I’ll wear all the time. If I remember liking something years earlier I make a point to get a sample again to really decide in the present if I want to purchase it. I remember loving L’Imperatrice when I smelled it at Sephora in college as it was such a different DNA to everything I was smelling. I quickly tired of it because at a certain point all I could smell was banana shampoo and that didn’t feel like me anymore😂 so I decluttered that one too!

[@Sophie-Emotion-Scented]

I also let go of Meliora because there was something about the mid notes that didn't sit well with me and that I found cloying. However, the top notes are unbelievably beautiful and they are now resting with a good friend who suits florals. Florals don't work on me. I should have bought Oriana from the get-go, which I love. I'm also in the process of decluttering Shalimar Souffle d'Oranger mainly because I find it to be very far away from the concept of Shalimar. It's a beautiful bottle and limited edition but I can't get on with the scent. I have a bottle of Millesime Iris, but I'm keeping that!

[@amandahodge3809]

I’m so sorry ppl gave you a hard time for decluttering oud satin mood!! Sometimes that’s just what happens in the fragrance world and we should never be given a hard time for it!! I haven’t decluttered too many, I decluttered br540 extrait (because I have the og too and liked that one better) Also Cloud by Ariana Grande, Glossier You and Atomic Rose by Initio

[@AlliBaba1234]

I also sampled and disliked Rouge Malachite, there is something special in it that I feel I must be anosmic to, but that irritates me? I’ve experienced the same with Kilian’s “Voulez-vous.” And yes, there is so much hype for RM, but it just goes to show you that fragrance is super personal! EDIT: I love Jo Malone VR&O, there’s something special about it, it’s cool and sweet. Though there are many rose/ouds that are, shall we say, in the same general family (VR&O, Morhaf, Sehr Al Shaila, Bidun Esam, Awraaq Al Oud, Shaghaf Aoud Aswad, Rose d’Arabie, etc.), I’ve discovered that they do each have a subtly different “mood” and I do enjoy wearing one versus the other depending upon my own current vibe, the occasion, etc.

[@ambernicole8634]

I can relate, so far most of the fragrances you mentioned I also have and haven’t reached for them. 😮 And they’re beautiful scents!!! I need to start enjoying them.

[@stacyrensburgoliver]

I wasn’t a fan of gourmand fragrances but cafe cabanel changed my mind.

[@hayley.clough]

Cafe cabanel isn’t too gourmand, it’s the perfect balance really and not too sweet

[@lovelymiracle]

Tuberose is tricky for me too and had the same experience with Rouge Malachite! You’re indeed my fragrance sister. I ❤ your recommendations!

[@IrieAllDay88]

I am decluttering your beloved Jardins de Misfah. For me it's lakcing something and the combination of rose, dates and honey doesn't work for me. A part 2 please.

[@susannahwatt5853]

Super interesting. I’ve just added Rouge Malachite - I’m having a huge white floral moment after years of not wearing them due to skin chemistry. Now my skin has changed and they smell great. I’m nuts for white florals. Just cautious with orange blossom. I am starting to like Oud Satin Mood. I bought a 19ml travel spray. Until a few months ago I found it so sweet it made me nauseous - now ok if only a few sprays. I can’t really tolerate many MFKs and own none (outside the travel spray). Personally I’ve let go several unisex leaning masculine scents as I’m now wearing and loving the more obviously feminine scents. Such as Commes des Garçons Black EDT, Elie Saab Cuir Absolu, Timbuktu, Kenzo L’Elephant, BDK Tubereuse Imperial and YSL Parisienne

[@jenestes2099]

I love any gourmand fragrance especially the foody gourmands

[@tetyanalove6186]

I can’t stand the sweetness in Oud Satin Mood on my skin, it almost makes me nauseous 🤢. My man on the other hand loves it and I appreciate it on him.

[@suesilk3738]

I can’t get on with Jo Maloney velvet rose and out ! Use it as a room fragrance great for that

[@vivililly6887]

I would love to see part 2. I'm a sucker for decluttering videos 😊 L'Imperatrice way too tart and sour for me, i could only tolerated on super hot days, hence whi i decluttered mine.

[@tigeygirl]

There’s no room for hate in KZbin’s fragcom. Fragrance is so subjective. I really dislike a lot of people’s favorites, such as Amouage Sunshine, Delina, and many more. I guess I would be hated if I had a channel.

[@ally.b.flores]

I love Rouge Malachite and TF jasmine rouge, but I also decluttered Feve, and Oud Satin Mood. Feve smelled like a Christmas play dough on my skin and OSM just smelled off with my chemistry, something to do with the jammy rose. I also declutterred Possibilities and God of Fire. I loved Possibilities but both pulled a bit sour on my skin.

[@niklaus009]

Really enjoyed that. Would love a part 2!

[@queenp1n]

What a coincidence. I just looked at my perfume shelf and grabbed Lira (as well as Initio's Psychedelic Love) to declutter. You made me want to think harder on this.

[@kristinetimofejeva9773]

Lira was in my collection twice, I do get what You mean. It is a really nice gourmand and smells great, but there is only so many occations it is appropriate to and I usually choose something other.

[@joelladoobrow2817]

Tuberose is the same for me. I don’t hate it but many times it does not work for me

[@maggievardanyan4722]

Oud satin mood i like it when I smell it from bottle, on me its so powdery i tried mixing but satin mood is such a strong perfume , I end to smelling satin mood

[@Alisha-hs8xj]

Yeah I feel the same about the rose oud combo in general tbh. Why did I feel the need to have so many of the same dna? 😅

[@keridestito6206]

I never got along with OSM! I tried and tried but on my skin it was an absolute NO! For the life of me I just can’t understand why someone would be offended that you don’t like a fragrance they like! 😂

[@TikiTokToh]

Part 2 please! And I don’t enjoy Oud Satin Mood either. Lovely scent but too masculine for me

[@truthseeker3773]

I find Nisane Ani to be a lemon cake scent. An easy wear like Lira. I blight bought Malachite, it doesn't wow on my skin at all, don't understand the hype from certain reviewers. Tuberose not good on my skin either. Gave away my TF Jasmine to my sister, no regrets. Better jasmines out there. Omgoodnes. Need to move on from my unused Meliora as well.😮 Where should I sell my perfumes.... anyone?

[@Terence_317]

Oud satin mood is perfect on me omg I love it and your right every one skin is different srry it don’t work for you

[@gillianbailey1384]

Oud satin mood is not for me either so don't feel bad. On my skin it smelled like insect spray

[@DivineFrag]

I don't own anything here (and only have Manhattan on my wishlist towards the middle/bottom), but much like you, feel like there's too much fluff sitting on the shelf that I have no use for. Helps knowing that I bought a lot of these pre-COVID price hike, so it would basically free up capital to get something else/newer.

[@kuklakid]

I tried Lira a bunch of times. No go. We are in synch.

[@Cate98765]

Where do you resell your declutter?

[@salmaj2016]

Please could you do a video on marzipan perfumes like Bdk velvet tonka please 😆😆😆

[@patr70]

At 11:28 I just did the same thing with Xerjoff Symphonium and Xerjoff Elle. I wanted Symphonium but accidentaly ordered Elle becuase both of the Bottles are the SAME. 🙄

[@barbarabennet7096]

Awesome video. You might like AR Fragrances (Asorock Fragrances), a relatively new in the realm of perfume dupes, serves as a prime illustration of such alternatives. Impressively, their fragrances closely mirror the authenticity of designer scents.

[@sepehrdarvishi7730]

Every single time i smell oud satin mood, oud silk mood and oud by MFK, i get a super heavy migraine like headache and it makes my mood bad, no clue why. It isn't because of the oud because i've been using heavy real oud based fragrances and it enjoy them. I guess just oud rose combo doesn't work for me.

[@tigeygirl]

I forgot, I just sold last week Poets of Berlin, Mojave Ghost, BoraBora, plum in Cognac and Italica!

[@Vanessa_.._4]

I had the same experience with Oud Satin Mood, on my skin it’s a mix of baby powder and vintage rose fragrance! And also Feve Delicious was too powdery and old style for my skin chemistry, so disappointed!

[@phouavaj]

I didn’t like lira enough to purchase. Didn’t find it special enough add to my collection. If I had it I’m sure I would have decluttered it too. I have tried rouge malachite and I do like it. Waiting for a sample of magenta tanzanite to see which one to purchase.

[@Lulu-kt6gr]

Where do you sell your fragrances, if you wouldn’t mind telling us?

[@lennymenye2420]

Dont worry about the hate from the people. Oud satin mood is not a like for people around me whoe smelled it.. people online are just fans of mfk

[@genexye]

I believe the reason why people come at you for not liking a fragrance is because they were influenced by social media to purchase that fragrance. Because generally it's common sense for people to know that skin chemistry is a real factor with fragrances. I remember the hype of Feve delicese in 2018. I looked at the note and was drawn to it. Tried it in the store, but didn't get the effect I hoped. In fact it didn't suit me. Due to the hype, I tried again during another season, tired and tried until it then dawned on me that it's not going to work for me. I admired those it worked for but had to under the fact that if it doesn't work, don't force it. Don't give into social media. Have your own mind. After all, we are not all meant to smell the same. Otherwise there is no personality.

[@luncidamaksimov6782]

how you declutter your perfumes? I have some that I would like to declutter but I don't know how

[@hayley.clough]

Mostly online marketplaces, I used a Facebook group sometimes, Vinted, Depop or eBay.

[@luncidamaksimov6782]

thank you very much@@hayley.clough

[@feliciaboyle7915]

I couldn’t do the D&G l’impretrice all I could smell was BO even when sprayed in the air it’s all I smell with slight watermelon on the background very unpleasant

[@tusikk2081]

Are you planning to sell them?

[@lauravterrazas]

I'm an Oud Satin Mood lover and i can't believe people actually came for you for having an opinion! 😫 I promise you we're not all like that. 😅

[@amnetaa.a8064]

Im like you, I love sniff gourmand perf but I am not reaching for them

[@kordeliakordelia3604]

Hallo. Lyra and Meliora??? OMG thats one of best Parfum the World 4 me😥😥😥

[@ulyanaheward932]

It’s Dior Fève Délicieuse, not délice Also, smth can be powdery ON your skin , not on your skin chemistry. But smth can not work WITH your skin chemistry.

[@isobel64]

Tuberose forward fragrances make me nauseous so I agree regarding Rouge Malachite..Im trying to sell mine, Jasmin Rouge is too indolic so glad I only got a decant. I dont get powdery from Feve at all. Such ambery goodness. Do you like Grand Soir? Shalimar Philtre is much better to me than the Tonka version. will you be getting the new Iris flanker?

[@kerrimorton]

Great video! I cannot take L’imperatrice on my skin. It’s gorgeous on others but smells like spoiled watermelon on my skin.

[@MurkaMurkovsky]

Oud satin mood also did not work for me, would never buy it

[@pikachuiswatchingyou]

Gourmands kinda wear me instead of me wearing them

[@Annejervelund]

I decluttered jardins de Misfah (yes it’s true 😅) PDM oriana, ysl Libre le parfume, ysl Libre intense, God of Fire. Because my nose changed and I didn’t use them. I too only want perfumes I don’t wear

[@ScentualP]

Devotion by D&G is better than Lira... it's just a hype and beautiful bottle but very boring lemon vanilla 😅

[@kristinetimofejeva9773]

I do not like Oud Satin Mood and Silk Mood at all. They are just powdery rose and I do not like to smell like old ladies perfume. I have not smelled on anyone else, so can not speak about sillage. But, yeah, I truly dislike this one.

[@olesyakoktyan6713]

Kudos for getting rid of kilian’s frags. Crazy overpriced, total skin scents and totally based on baby powder. Nearly all of them.

[@tusikk2081]

I would be happy to open my trash can so you can throw all of them in there 😂

[@ellecanero]

Fève Délicieuse is so powdery, old fashioned and manly! So glad I didn’t buy FB

[@sepehrdarvishi7730]

Omg it should have be called MFK oud satin foot. Smells sooo bad and annoying to me.
