People can be very judgmental over the most inconsequential things. I really like how honest you are about your buying and decluttering habits. Just your acknowledgment of that feels very real. You're also relatable, and I'm both impulsive and indecisive myself. Not only that, but I'm very fickle when it comes to fragrances - I'll immediately fall in love with something, love it for a week or so, then decide I'm not crazy about it, and have to declutter it immediately. We all have our quirks! I'm glad you addressed those critics, but don't let them get to you.

Girl, don’t be hard on yourself. Baccarat Rouge 540 is a must have for a perfume collector. I heard another Fragrance You Tuber say: “Everyone has it, but no one will rock it like you” I loved that! Nobody, rocks it like you or me :) Be blessed!!!!

Did you ever think about decanting a perfume before selling it when you feel like maybe you will come back to it and change your mind? I think a decant is a good idea, because you will have enough of the perfume for sniffing or testing whenever you feel like it and maybe you will be more confident with buying a new bottle if you feel so.

No worries! I do the exact same thing with wigs (I have a wig review channel and have been wearing wigs for four years due to androgenic alopecia that began in my 20's-I'm now 65). We spend $$ learning what we like, what works best for us and even when we find that, we may branch out to try new things and eventually go back to square one. Such is life! I only began with fragrance this year, a natural extension to wearing makeup again for my channel, I feel (though it would be nice to have smell-o-vision!) and have purchased more than I think I should, but I want more, still finding my footing with scent. Being very thrifty-I have a frugal living/homesteading channel that has been around for almost 10 years now- I don't own any high end or nice fragrances other than samples. I have mostly affordable ones and dupes. I have a Poison Girl dupe from La Rive and love it. Appreciate your channel! ~Cynthia

I'm definitely not here to judge - to me your impulsivity is very relatable! I've done exactly the same thing - buying, decluttering, then buying again when hearing someone praising it, then decluttering it again, overanalyzing my collection, developing all kinds of rules of how my collection should look like, etc :D been there, done that! Now I'm really trying to let go of the idea of a "perfect" perfume collection as I feel no such thing even exists, pursuing it just causes this buy-declutter -cycle IMO.

So funny that this video came up for me today! Last night I had trouble sleeping and I spritzed myself with a perfume that I thought I HATED (don’t ask me why), and was thinking I was even going to return it. Well, I had an absolutely positive reaction to the scent this time instead. And I’m not talking years here where your tastes can change over time… it was only a couple weeks that had gone by! I was so shocked that my feelings in it had changed that quickly. So don’t feel bad about changing your mind. I think it can probably happen to all of us. I just never realized before now that it could happen so quickly!

I also feel like samples from the company or decants can be helpful, but I notice (especially for the more natural or refined smelling fragrances) that the strength isn't the same bc of the smaller spray volume. Full size bottle sprayers almost always give a better impression of the overall fragrance experience. Does that make sense?

I tried gypsy water a few years ago when I was a lot younger and disliked it so I gave it to my mum, ironically she got another small bottle of it and gave it to me to try a weeks ago and I absolutely loved it that I bought the full size a week later, I do wish the performance was better especially for the price, I also love flower head from byredo but only have had the hair perfume of it, not the perfume but I’d like to pick that one up at some point, Donna is also one of my favourites and I actually way prefer it to born in Roma, it’s your collection and you should be allowed to swap things in and out as you please, so don’t let anyone say otherwise :)

But once you’ve smell and wear the original, nothing else comes even close. The original just have the perfect ingredients and perfect ratio of each ingredients that makes it 👌🏻

Diptyque: I was never a vanilla scent kind of girl. But I came across Eau Duelle, and I fell head over heels in love. Always getting compliments. So I decided to chase that vanilla scent. I’ve tried many others from different brands expensive and cheap, and I can say that no other vanilla scent comes close to Eau Duelle. Actually this is how I came across your channel, looking for other vanilla recommendations. This is for sure my signature scent, going on my 3rd bottle. You have to try the intense version. Also, try 34 intense and Benjoin Boheme eau de parfum. Byredo: Gypsy water is a classic! Also my favorite. Try, bal dafrique, Blanche and 1995 if you haven’t already. I started wearing these scents because I didn’t want to smell like anyone else. When people ask me what I’m wearing, they don’t even know the brands and I love it. I stopped wearing RB 540 bc now everyone has a similar version and I can smell that 10 miles away lol. I will continue to stick with Byredo, diptyque and Jo Malone bc they truly make unique scents. I keep chasing other scents to find something similar but it just doesn’t work out. Oh well, this is part of the adventure. Happy shopping I say!!!

Where do you have this information about ambergris in BR540 from? I think that if baccarat rouge had real ambergris in it it would cost much much much more. This perfume is called molecule perfume because of heavy dose of ambroxan in it. There are so many articles about it edit: quote from the interview with FK: There’s a synthetic oakmoss, veltol and Ambroxan and hedione.

I 100% prefer Tinhare by Perfume Le Couvent to BR540. They smell incredibly similar, but Tinhare is sweeter and I can’t detect the “dentist office” vibe in that one. Plus, it is a fraction of the price. But, unfortunately, like you’ve mentioned before as well, the scent (of either) disappears very quickly for me.

I’ve never replaced a bottle after emptying. The only one I would replace when empty is Lana by Santa Maria Novella or Relique d’Amour by Oriza Le Grande. I don’t like Bacarat Rouge very much. Never bought. My last trip to Miami was awesome because of all the amazing shops with perfume I can’t get my nose on where I live. Highlight was the Santa Maria Novella shop.

I would suggest putting the bottle away for 6 months. If you miss it in that time, bring it back for a short period. Then put it away again for 3 months. If you miss it a second time, then you know you love the scent. Absence can make the heart grow fonder. Good luck.

Don’t feel bad about BR540! Lol. I have the extrait and feel the slight difference, so I bought the smaller travel sized bottle. And I feel like I get something from it that I don’t get from the extrait. And I was initially anosmic to it and at times still am. But when I do get a whiff-I’m like who is smelling that good??? Lol. Then realize it’s me! I love it honestly. And I layer it a lot. I will probably end up with a regular sized bottle at some point. I also enjoy Eau Duelle Parfum and my fav byredo is Bal D’Afrique.

Did you remove the video about Amber Rouge? I purchased it on your recommendation and am interested in hearing if you think it is a note by note dupe for 540. I have not smelled 540, but I quite like the amber rouge scent.

'Don't be too hard on yourself' is often easier said than done. You have to be a special person working in healthcare. Thus, typically more empathetic. So it is important that you do self-care and be cautious about negativity. Personally, I thank you for taking time to do videos. Taking time to edit and create content is not easy. As for the fragrances, if you think you would like woodsy perfume, you should try a decant of Encre Noire. It smells like a wet woodsy forest with the dry leaves on the forest ground. It is very earthy, dark, and dry woods on its own. But if you layer a sugar sweet scent on top, it layers nicely. Keep up the good work, stay healthy and be safe. We love our nurses! 💐

No judgement here! People change their minds about things all the time. The haters included. I'm slow to declutter anything, but yes, I completely agree that sometimes one gets bored with a scent, and then 6 months later it's magical again. I'm rediscovering my Michael Kors Wonderlust EDT. :)

You’re so silly and I love you so much! It makes us feel human. Hahah and when it came to MFK it just felt like either someone going back to their ex they said they didn’t want to go back to, or a child justifying every reason to have it back. AND THATS OK!!! I love seeing the journey. Plus seeing BIG BOTTLES 🥰 It does make a lot of sense now that you frequently resell. It’s really awesome you also get assistance from fragbuy and other sponsors to help you with reducing the amount of money you’d have to spend on all these perfumes for you to try as well. I do love hearing about perfumes you bring back as well bc it just gives a new fresh perspective of them after a while or being sick or them or stuff like that. Always makes me check out the sites to see if I really need them in my collection too!

I love Mojave Ghost from Byredo. I will not purchase Baccarat Rouge 540 again. However I will continue to buy Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait. I started getting the medicinal smell with BR 540 and it has no staying power on me. However I don’t get medicinal with the Extrait and it has better staying power. I like the smell better too.

I'm the opposite of you, I live in a major city with several department stores in area and everyone has Baccarat and you smell it everywhere. I like the scent but got rid of it because I got tired of smelling it.

I think viewers are critical of reviewers who change their minds when we feel like their opinions are being swayed by views or sponsorships. I don't get the sense that's what you're doing but rather just sharing your very human (and relatable) fragrance journey with us. I appreciate your authenticity!
