BEST AND WORST NEW FRAGRANCES OF 2023 SO FAR!

[@amandalouise145]

I’ve found that Black Opium really does alter with your skin chemistry! It smells very different on myself and my friends who have worn it around me and I love that! It smells very autumnal on me and has depth. Can’t wait to try the flanker.

[@Michelle-qq6jm]

One of the most elegant and honest KZbinrs covering beauty. Erin, thank you 🙏 ❤ I see your videos and I click. I know it’s quality content- you get to the point and your voice is soothing. You go girl, keep up the great work.

[@ImogenRawe]

I LOVE Valaya! The performance is amazing on me and I often get compliments on it :) I love it for day to day

[@tammyhiggins1013]

I am so glad Goddess was not on your fail list. I really love it and know I will be wearing it and layering it with many fragrances in my collection throughout Fall and Winter. I always love watching your videos and hearing your take on fragrance and makeup launches. Thank you!

[@Dina_France]

Goddess by Burberry is amazing! Or did you mean Goddess Alien?

[@christiecruzxo2841]

The fragrance QUEEN 👸 💗 Clicked so fast the video we’ve all been waiting for 🙌

[@ErinNicoleTV]

Thank you Christie! I hope you have a great Sunday! 💗

[@lanabanana9740]

what you said at the end really spoke to me about my makeup collection! i find myself hoarding stuff that is just ok...when in reality I'll never touch it again and its going to sit there and become a dust magnet !! time to return and DECLUTTER from now on LOL

[@BondGirl103]

Love Kayali Silk Santal! Can't wait to try Love Shack Fancy, cute bottle, not a fan of Valaya but love so many other PDM fragrances.

[@kamm5280]

I hated Valaya at the beginning because I couldn’t smell it. But then I wore it outside and oh boy does it project so well in the heat. Masterpiece for me!

[@belmabee5646]

Valaya for me is a masterpiece ❤️❤️ not at all light or skin scent.. i absolutely love her 💗💗💗

[@breannacarels6479]

Ok… I went back and sprayed my decant again. At first it was an absolute no… but it’s growing on me. I’m getting something totally different this time around.

[@belmabee5646]

@@breannacarels6479 i have a big collection but i need a second bottle of Valaya that’s how much i love her 😍

[@KarinaSalinas-yi8ox]

I also love Valaya, purchased her a week ago. ❤️❤️❤️

[@Gloria0667]

Same! I absolutely love Valaya. When I first tried it, I thought it would be too sharp for me but when I let it sit on my skin… I was hooked.

[@melissajensen815]

I agree Valaya is wonderful! It's actually my favorite PDM fragrance ❤

[@lsukc3334]

Great list! I have Burberry Goddess on its way! 💖 Also really love the Black Opium Le Parfum! Now you have me wanting to try the Ellis Brooklyn one! The way you described it is exactly how I feel about Sun Fruit. I love the smell so so much, but wished it lasted longer! I love it so much in the high heat where I live though, I just respray throughout the day.

[@Pinkfitt]

I always love your fragrance videos!! I love anything vanilla

[@marcya.6994]

Such a beautiful blue velvet dress!!

[@FayeCNL]

I certainly agree with waiting for THAT fragrance or THAT product that you covet and desire 💓

[@Annie-zs2bt]

Love your content , thank you for your review about Valaya , save me time and $ on it . I really love Sugar Leather , it’s very warm and cozy ❤Happy to see you back ❤

[@keodi1]

Great review!I own both the TF signature and private blend collection of cafe rose and the signature version is definitely watered down.

[@vanessabarryhudgens]

Thanks! I really like your fragrance contents it’s a must watch for me on all these KZbin fragrance reviewers ! Keep it up!🎉

[@kristinvergara538]

I have to add my two scents just in case someone might be on the fence about trying this perfume…Valaya is a triumph! I was given a sample, liked it well enough, then on my first wear didn’t like it, for some reason gave it another chance and I’m so glad I did! It is beautiful, elegant, layered and so sophisticated. It was even my wedding scent. Point being, scents are so personal. Parfums de marly make classy elegant perfumes but not everyone of them will be a winner for everybody. For instance, I personally don’t like fruity or sweet, or gourmand fragrances. And I’m not a big fan of their most popular perfume, Delina. In the end you have to get a sample and have a couple wears to know if it’s for you. ❤

[@marthamartinez4215]

Omg!! Finally someone that is not on the Valaya train. I thought it was just boring for the price!! Musk an🎉d only musk!! TF E Cherry was just a pinch of cherry with spring flowers, and for the price just a big noooooooo!!!! My favorites of 2023 so far are B Goddess, BO L Parfume and Sol de Janeiro After Hours body spray!!! Great video!!!!

[@breannacarels6479]

They need to bring back Slik Santal asap! I’m looking at my 50ml going down down down. Yum Pistachio grew and grew on me and has also become a love. I didn’t think I was a Kayali fan but the last releases have been hits for me! Love the Sugared Patchouli one too. Valaya is growing on me… I have a 8ml decant and I think I’ll be good for life. It’s a like not a love. I LOVED Sonic Flower. Something about that clean Jasmine just has me hooked.

[@augustvirgo6773]

I am with you on Gucci Magnolia, I love that fragrance so much. It doesn't smell like anything else that I own definitely a grown scent. I carry this in my purse all the time.

[@alexandrahe5273]

Hi Erin, I will defenetly buy the new Gucci Perfume. The new Tom Fords are interesting too, I have Lost Cherry, which is very beautifull . I have seen the Barbie Movie. It's great, amazing and so funny. The new Kayali I do not prefer mutch .

[@jenniferduncan8856]

I like and bought Silk Santal but it was really familiar to me. Had it about a week and it’s hit me, it reminds me so much of La Belle Jean Paul Gaultier!

[@susanmccarthy7048]

Thank you Erin! I really want to try both Tom Ford fragrances that you mentioned!❤🔥

[@momof5family138]

Agreed! I need to buy couple backups of silk! ❤

[@anettmiszkuly785]

I love Chanel Chance eau fraiche edt and the edp is on my wishlist😊 Great video! Thank you!😊❤

Great video Erin ! We didn’t agree on everything but that is the beauty of personalized fragrance. Love the advice you gave about the “middle” items in our collections❤

[@Valerie-ze4se]

Erin❤rarely leave comments here on KZbin but I had to say that I always look forward for your video from Luxembourg and I have been follow you for a while and I enjoy your knowledge about makeup,parfum, eau de toilette etc….. you have a lot of class and we Europeen appreciate your attitude a great deal. Sorry for this long Message. Btw you should be promoting more brands xx

I just found your channel and absolutely love it! Thank you for your wonderful reviews! Could you please tell me where you got your cabinets for your collection? I have been actively looking and I found one by ikea but may get 2… 😂❤

[@Pinkfitt]

I’m dying to try the kayali pistachio

[@serene-being]

Hi Erin, I always love watching your informative videos. Can I please ask you a question? If you go on a vacation in Europe from late August until early October, what perfumes would you pick? It doesn’t have be in this video. Many thanks. ❤😊

[@accesstotheredcarpet]

Looking forward to your official home tour! FYI, not a fan of the Chanel Fraiche parfum. I have the sample. It leans very masculine. I agree the original toilette one is a lot better since it’s softer and more green. I gotta try that Kayli Silk Santal.

[@llauren13]

I love your content… I’m always looking forward to seeing your fragrances reviews 💕💕💕💖

[@dreamgirldana]

I like your energy so much, thank you for a beautiful review ❤

[@pj806]

I have been wanting to buy burberry goddess. However I wanted to know for long the fragrance lingers. If you could tell then it would be really helpful ❤

[@PerfumedAndPolished]

Great list! I’m definitely trying to stop purchasing “middle of the road” fragrances. Looking through my collection I have quite of few of them, mostly from blind buying.

[@darlenealvino8799]

My favorite fragrance for 2023 is Akro Rise! It’s scrumptious! I absolutely love it! 🍍+ 🥥 = ❤️

[@Dina_France]

Definitely for those who had never had enough of coffee

[@nadiadncr]

Great video Erin. Lust for sun it's all I used all summer and I'm on my 2nd bottle now. ♥ I agree the le parfum black opium is a win and I don't like the og

[@ulyanaheward932]

The new release from Chanel, Chance eau fraîche, is not le parfum, it’s eau de parfum. Those are not the same, the concentration is different 😊

[@Pinkfitt]

So there is a parfume , and EDP AND A EDT ? For black opium? Or is the edp the one you’re talking about here

[@lovefilles]

Hi hi! Valaya is the only Marly parfum I love, with Herod. Love this grapefruit, peach fizzy fresh smell.

[@perfumetherapie]

I have the opposite reaction, I absolutely love the Kayali Velvet over the Silk. The Silk is nice but Velvet is richer and more distinctive 👍

[@melisasaatci]

I love gucci gorgeous magnolia!

How strong is the coffee scent in the black opium Parfum ??

[@alisasepe6098]

You do the best fragrance reviews thank you I was surprised by liking Alien Goddess by Mugler I didn’t like any of the aliens prior

[@keytie08]

Valaya for me smells sooo good! I tried it a couple of times at Nordstrom before I bought the whole bottle. Goddess by Burberry is a No No, it smells like an old woman’s perfume.

[@rhondaalivingston5705]

You are so right about curating your collections, I’m moving some out today.. why did I buy them? I feel bad about wasting $$ I bought Tiziana Terenzi 11Piacere anniversary collection .. my saving grace it was 30% off , but ooohhh, It gave me a terrible migraine.. I should have returned..And Valaya, returned her to Saks right away. It was terrible, nothing there.. thanks so much to your beautiful insight for these releases. 🎉❤

[@Menace_Chemist]

I really agree with you about you said at the end of the video. I have been careful to only purchase products that i love and not just like. My bank account thanks me lol. ❤

[@natalieb.1396]

Ok, I just tried Tom Ford’s Myrrhe Mystere with Burberry Goddess on top, OMGOSH!!! Gorgeous!! Ty!!!!

My worst ‘blind’ perfume purchase is J’Adore. I like Miss Dior - but this one was not nice on me. My husband commented as well! Pretty bottle - I just should have sampled it first.

[@MakeithappenMakeithappen-vz3zi]

I still love j’adore from last year! This year .... it’s not for me too

Soleil de feu from Tom Ford is a failed to me. Luv your videos Erin🥰

[@ErinNicoleTV]

YES! Hard agree I completely forgot that I returned that one! It smelled reeeeally bad! lol xx I will be updating my end of the year list! xx

[@RachelMcDaniel-tv9qc]

I'm a new subscriber, and I really appreciates your opinions on the perfumes mentioned. So I am a perfume hater. But I'm in search of my signature scent. Does that make sense? I have sampled so many niche and designer perfumes and I hate 95% of them, like a few, and absolutely love almost none. A couple perfumes I like are PDM Herod, Xer. Ivory Route, Clive Christian Crab Apple Blossom, Creed Virgin Island Water and Tom Ford eau de Soliel Blanc. All the expensive ones haha. Most of these are uni sex which surprises me because I am a very feminine person. Oh, and if I don't like the bottle (Good Girl style is an absolute no) I probably won't buy it. Do you have any suggestions? I'm sick of wasting my money on samples! Thank you!

[@TheFragranceDecantBoutique]

Love this ❤️‍🔥

[@charleneford]

Hi lovely Erin, I am here watching 🌸 Can’t wait to hear your thoughts 💗💕

[@andressa7405]

Valaya is already a life favourite for me

[@opalbeach9626]

Thanks for sharing. I understand the buying perfume that turns out to be a dozer. I smelt about that night by Thameen when I was at Harrods. It did smell lovely then. But when I came back to the US and purchased it, i was very disappointed because it smells like Le Libre, which I don't care for. But since I opened it, I can not return it Luckily, there is a lady at work that seems to love perfumes, so when I buy something I don't love, I pass it on to her. I just bought Burberry goodness, I can wear that on weekend errands.

[@oshifish2]

I wish the Kayali Pistacio was longer lasting! I watched another reviewer that mentioned a richer Pistiacio fragrance but cannot think the name!

[@lifeonabudget8513]

Great video! You are so 100% right on buying what sparks joy, not mediocre things. There is a fragrance reviewer I watch who has a wonderful wish list but keeps buying nothing fragrances that disappoint her or aren't worth it. She needs to see this video😂

[@raquel8780]

I can totes see how you'd not enjoy Valaya. I really love the musk, and how that is the note that stays. Too sweet somehow aggravates my migraines, but if you were hoping for something fruity and floral, and you got musk, I can see how that would not be your vibe!

[@SuperLola1213]

Opium not liker here ! And it is very nice ! 🙌

[@NikkiJ20]

Unpopular opinion. Burberry goddess smells like a ginger bomb not a vanilla bomb. Even after the dry down the vanilla was so faint to to me 😮‍💨 Valaya is so nice and libre l'absolu plantine for when I'm wanting to take a break from gourmand fragrances!

[@Beautylove4307]

Can we get an updated top 10

[@BczimHappy]

Say that I'm wrong but My way 2023 is a combination of giorgio armani rouge malachite with original My way perfume ..

[@sarah1484]

I couldn’t get with Valaya either. I don’t like the dry down at all.

[@joann33483]

Creed Carmina is incredible ❤

[@CrissyPopz]

[@RalucaBlajut]

Valaya was such a disappointment for me!! I was so sad, I wanted to love it so much! The branding is great, the bottle is absolutely amazing, but the perfume… not for me!

I agree with valaya

[@DaniGaro]

I believe the Silk Santal is LE, but I sure hope they change their mind!

[@FashionFramez]

Do you think myrhe mystere on a guy would be sexy? Also how is the performance

[@mariescott2820]

I get frustrated with flankers when the bottles are hard to distinguish along with product names sometimes getting so long. They can be very confusing. If you ask someone what they are wearing they could say YSL Libre but I think there are 5 or 6 different ones. And then they use EDP and le parfum! I wish companies would rethink the packaging and naming conventions to be less confusing to consumers!

[@amandalouise145]

I do agree!! I enjoy the flankers for Marc jacobs, but they are easy to distinguish by the bottles and names. I blind bought ysl libre by recommendation and I am convinced I bought the wrong one and I hated it 😢

[@mommyface2675]

the chanel au fraishe smell the same and both don't last . i have both.

[@Marnelle43]

Gucci Magnolia is nice, but has the shortest time on the skin….at least for me it was. Faded out so fast….pretty though..

[@notayalinton838]

Lol 🤣🤣May I have the ones that you will never wear especially Valaya one of my favorite from the house💕💕

Valaya makes me nauseous. It is not an easy to wear fragrance and it does lean masculine. It was a blind buy for me and I’m trying to sell mine.

[@carlenegayle8163]

[@m.n.d5949]

Ok so this is going to be a venting comment. No offense meant to anyone at all whatsoever. But i am entirely fed up of the perfume industry pumping out sickeningly sweet or light pointless fragrances that last 1 hour tops with little to no projection. The last two perfumes i enjoyed that they ofcourse discontinued was YSL Manifesto Elixir and Alien absolue. Im saddened that classic perfumes with white floral bouquets like Givenchy Amariage and Lancome Poeme arent done anymore. Also i do not like any of the niche fragrances. Its entirely boring to my nose and just strange. And to me is very blah. Tired after spending nearly 2 decades on trying and buying too many perfumes enjoying the ones pre 2015 specially the 80s and 90s perfumes that most people call dated and offensive. I hope perfume companies go back to the drawing board and continue to make the old school perfumes and continue to make these sugary bakery smells for those who like it. I dont think it should be one or the other. I think there should be variety for all those who enjoy whatever they like. I left searching for perfumes back in 2019 because i got tired of the dissapointing releases. And ofcourse i understand those with perfume allergies etc who prefer the boring jo malone simple perfumes because i myself am allergic to pachouli and powdery dusty notes in perfumes so i understand. All i am saying is there should be all varieties available to those who love things thats not in the current "trend". Hate me for this but im going back to CK perfumes like In2U and Escape etc because beleive it or not i find the blend far more pleasing than most of these perfumes pumped out today. There i said it. Take everything i said lightly just a rant on my frustration. Enjoy what you love . Peace all. 😅😊

[@jaimiemainberger5039]

Silk santal smells just like vanilla 28. I don’t see much of a difference 🤷‍♀️
