Thanks for this much needed video. I have been on the fence with all of these and you’ve confirmed my findings. However, you have convinced me to go for the Silky Woods.

[@krystalscott2880]

I have been subscribed for a few weeks now, and I'm such a fan! You're like a parfum sommelier, and I have had so much fun watching along with your videos as I start putting my "that girl" perfume collection together. I watched this whole thing with a smile on my face, so thank you for being you and sharing your love of perfume with us 🥰 And yes, more of these videos, please! There are soooooo many TikToks and reels and YT shorts showcasing the same fragrances, and it's hard to know what's real and what's bandwagoning/playing to the algorithm 🤷🏾‍♀

[@sebouquin2430]

I have a bunch of Maison Crivelli samples on the way. Super excited. I love Gris Charnel. The extrait is really nice, but I like the original better. I also layer the extrait with a vanilla. I adore Silky Woods! It’s gorgeous.

[@faithchoute7415]

Layer oud for greatness with MFK 540 extrait and it’s super amazing!!!

[@auntysim5080]

I would love more videos on fragrance layering 🙌🏼😘.

[@blkmonarch]

Love your videos and I've definitely checked out a lot of your recommendations. Can you do a video on underated fragrances? Or have you done one recently and I missed it.

[@SimplyAyesha]

You are making me feel like I NEED Silky Woods! Also, love you in black! 🔥

[@LotusBlossom216]

I got a sample of Hibiscus Mahajad from Twisted Lily. I like it but on the fence about purchasing a full size. It reminds me of Delina. I'd love more reviews of hyped fragrances.💜

[@suckerlove11]

Girl, you have me swooning over Silky Woods!

[@spiritcloud5883]

Love this list was going to blind buy Gris Charnel Extrait but now I think I’ll sample first

[@kirpugh6116]

Hi! I love oud for greatness but I do completely agree with you It does smell much better on a man, I’ve also been meaning to buy silky woods for a while now ❤love your content 😊

[@karina_waldron]

Thanks love! Oh silky woods is a must for me, love how smooth that scent it

[@youmatteryesyou3113]

I like all these fragrances, but definitely prefer the OG Gris Charnel. I agree the extrait is more masculine.

[@ijesimonn]

Hibiscus Mahajad and Grus Charnel Extrait are incredible. Some of my faves!

[@karina_waldron]

I wanted to love Gris on myself so much but it just pulls a little too masculine on me but when I mix it with a vanilla it smells amazing

[@oshuseasonal_scents]

“Black is just so classy, you know what I’m saying “Hahahaa girl you took me out with that ! That was good! ❤

[@karina_waldron]

☕️

[@mariannepozuelos5709]

I really liked this video and would love to see more like this❤ You have a very good way of describing the perfumes that I have been considering myself👍👏💖

[@angelinejaymz2380]

Yes, we want more such videos

[@bobbyrazim3107]

Love your mackup

[@roseyb3503]

I layered oud for greatness and Valaya and yes! I’ve worn it on a cold cold day and my man wore it next to me. We got the compliments.

[@hayley.clough]

Hi Lovely! I am the same with Oud for Greatness, I don’t reach for it but when my Fiancé does….. WOW!! I can smell him from the next room. 😂❤

[@karina_waldron]

I cannot get enough of it! So sexy and grown

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

Gris Charnel Extrait, is really nice on a Man or those women who like masculine fragrances (in my opinion).... I'm sticking with the Original

[@marciapensyl1377]

I love your reviews!!! Could you recommend a fragrance for my son? I want to get him a niche fragrance for Christmas. He’s 28 and wants to smell like money, but nothing too mature. Something he can wear as a signature scent.

[@marciapensyl1377]

@@grespinosa thank you! I will watch it!

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

I definitely need at least a small bottle of silky woods

[@passionforcouture]

GURL, I need your review on the new Vanilla Royale Sugared Patchouli Kayali !!!

[@karina_waldron]

I definitely want to review that one! Waiting for launch date

[@imanichase4419]

I'm here! Hey Karina! 👋🏾 ❤️

[@karina_waldron]

Hey boo!

[@charletfoster8917]

Silky Woods sounds yummy, I’m going to get a sample,so 🙏🏿👊🏿

[@karina_waldron]

It’s so smooth and silky

[@beekutie1396]

I love Initio Rehab and Mystic Experience Eau De Parfum Bomb!!!!! Wasn't a huge fan of oud for greatness.

[@karina_waldron]

I used to love rehabs but for some reason lately it smells too herbal to me

[@debrawells-hopey1980]

So tempted by Silky Woods...but on a different note, is that a real candle burning in your background? Is it one from your line? The flame is amazing!

[@karina_waldron]

It sure it my candle🥰 it’s one that I’m testing actually

[@ethalinia]

I am so curious about Gris Charnel Extrait :). Just out of curiosity: what do you think about the original?

[@karina_waldron]

I’ll hand to grab my sample and compare the two but from what I remember I didn’t see anything too special about the original

[@MegaSemmie]

Gris charnel extract for me it smells almost the same like dior intense

[@roseyb3503]

Oud for Greatness MIX WITH orange bitters by Jo Malone OR Nest Seville Orange and start your feminine dance!! It’s feminine and sensual. TRY IT and you will take it from the hubs and blow him a kiss😀

[@Pursuit_Of_A_Homestead]

Am I the only one who feels like Oud for Greatness smells a loooot like Baccarat Rouge 540 but with leather/rubber ? Its like BR540’s sexy older sister lol I like it a lot to use myself but, not only did it not last longer than a couple of hours on me, but I also just felt a little disappointed at its familiarity…it kinda left me wanting something more unique from it 🫣 I just got a travel size from ScentBird so maybe I need to play with it a bit more 🤔

[@karina_waldron]

Really! I don’t get that at all

[@Pursuit_Of_A_Homestead]

@@karina_waldron my nose is broken 😫 lmao jk …crazy how scents work with everyone’s different noses though !

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

Hibiscus Mahajad , it's really nice....but the price for me is steep and I will stick with Delina and Delina Exclusif

[@jessqf9633]

Silky Woods smell zero gourmand on my skin. To me I can smell a lot of suede and that’s why I haven’t purchased a full bottle of it.

[@ErinGoBragh325]

I have had the *exact* same experience, except I did the careless thing and blind bought it (it arrived today). I'm so disappointed! All I can pick up is suede/leather. I don't sense anything sweet. At all. I thought maybe I got a bad bottle/batch...but unlikely. I'm just so disappointed. Any suggestions for other scents to layer this with?

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

I agree that Oud For Greatness is Great on a Man 😂

[@shelbyfiliatreault-pilgrim7764]

Have you had a chance to try and review Babycat by YSL?

[@PerfFume]

I would love a review on this as well! Debating between Babycat and Rosendo Mateu 5

[@karina_waldron]

No 😭 I’m trying to get a sample first

[@Jenn-777]

Tried both side by side and Mateu 5 was my pick. Babycat was masculine to me , too Peppery.

[@PerfFume]

@@Jenn-777 Super interesting. Thank you!

[@karina_waldron]

@@Jenn-777 interesting!

[@nayeli9937]

Silky woods took me a while to warm up to. The opening smells like bandaids - BUT once you get past that it is the most sweet delectable vanilla. A grown up Vanilla. Not like B&BW vanilla.

[@indie8807]

Lol at the bandaids

[@ErinGoBragh325]

I just got it and am having a hard time liking it. I'm only picking up the leather/suede and woody notes. Not really picking up any vanilla. At one point I started wondering if I got a bad batch/bottle. But unlikely. I'm just feeling a little;e disappointed. I'll keep trying, though.

[@chana6184]

Hibiscus reminds me of delina .

[@karina_waldron]

I can see why based on the opening but in the end to me they are totally different

[@daniellesecher]

sorry oud for greatness is one i just cant get w 🤢 it may linger and cause attention, but are we sure its good attention ? 🤔

[@karina_waldron]

It sure it. My husband gets compliments on it every single time. On myself not so much

[@sanamrasheed4662]

@karina Waldron Please just tell me 1 fragrance

[@judithgodfrey5509]

👋 hi

[@jayrogers7779]

Vloggers always push fragrances - do not care what anyone says if the scent does not last - not wasting my $$.

[@MansaMusa1325]

Would you want to smell Hibiscus Mahajad on your husband as a signature scent? You’re not the only one who has stated that it leans feminine.

[@makinjau4872]

I bought the extrait 😭😭😭I’m looking for a honest boyfriend to gift . It’s 100% Musculine it’s nothing feminine . It smells like Ysl le nuit . I’m hurt

[@makinjau4872]
