Cabana Sunset by Navitus Parfums

[@lovelymiracle]

I find that Navitus signature screechiness goes away as the fragrances age. Only thing is we do not buy fragrances for them to sit for weeks. It’s annoying! Thank you for such a detailed review!

[@1FragrantVirgo]

Whew... HARD Agree! They usually develop lovely and that's the ONLY reason why I'm not going to talk too bad about it. It's still nice if you're looking for a unique tropical fragrance that's isn't just another coconut scent though. Thank you for watching!💯🩷

[@skinAPRN]

Thank you for providing an honest, unbiased opinion, and not mentioning the KZbinr that’s associated with the perfume I believe that is why I think it’s overhyped, and as someone that is not a fan of her, I appreciate your honest opinion on the actual sent, which is the important thing anyway thank you so much!!

[@1FragrantVirgo]

I've never watched her channel but have heard of her and own the other fragrances... my opinions are professional leaning and based... & of course subject to personal taste. We always have to decipher hype but what we love others don't and vice versa... as long as we are open to that fact when watching reviews subjectively and knowing what we do and don't enjoy- we should be alright. Glad you enjoyed this review .

[@LoveandMisses]

Happy for HONEST review Unfortunately, the Navitus crew hype each others fragrances up.

[@attimesava1596]

Exactly that’s why I avoid reviews from the navitus crew because when they review each others fragrances they’re always “obsessed”. Blind bought melon kiss and it was a huge let down

[@1FragrantVirgo]

lol... yeah welcome! I'm not the person that will lie about what I think or feel regarding anybody's product; I'm spending my money on it & I am an agent of the beauty industry and have been for over 15 years now...😂 Nobody likes being told one thing when or if it's really another for most. I believe most influencers hype each other to a degree as it's part of the game but consumers have to decipher hype. The influencer train is dying... because of this disconnect. We need REAL reviews from people willing to spend the money AND tell the truth. (PR or not TBH) I'm not an influencer... & I do not receive free things or money. I review things from my personal taste, but also try look at things objectively in the realm of what others may think or feel too. I'm glad you enjoyed the video... thanks for watching!

[@1FragrantVirgo]

@attimesava1596 I feel like this industry as a whole is going through a major shift and in that shift is coming the 'resurgence of real.' From makeup products to fragrance I've been seeing a lot of "old-school KZbinrs" come back & their content is still amazing! They were telling truths long before the PR train got flooded. I believe you all will begin to see more honest reviews 360° because consumers are fed up. I'm not an influencer. I actually am within the beauty industry and have long before the KZbin boom and saw what the influencer bust did- not only to peoples opinions, but also their ability to have real knowledge or thoughts about products. I hope your find the creators that give you what you need!

[@attimesava1596]

@@1FragrantVirgo all good points. I’m interested in the new Yara Candy but honestly avoiding the reviews of those that went to their event. Yes they may like the fragrance but the shopping cart on tik tok has me wondering if they really love the fragrance or if it’s a “like” and they’re hyping it for the commissions

[@FragranceswithGigi]

I agree. I do not care for their brand.

[@hessjackie]

And Pauline says this is her best fragrance yet? Omg she is really delulu…

[@1FragrantVirgo]

I'd be pressed to say venom of love and lost in a dream are the two best I've smelled from Navitus and her collaborating... 💯

[@iraidagom33]

@@1FragrantVirgovenom of love is ❤ but lost in a dream is a dupe of Milk by Commodity - and because of the performance I prefer the original

[@1FragrantVirgo]

It wasn't quite a spot on dupé of milk. The added notes gave it that slight difference the intensity of milk, expressive or bold- definitely out "woody" this fragrance though. If you allowed it to macerate, you would smell the croissant as well. Close but not the same- also released AFTER so I could see the comparison regardless as I mentioned this in my review of it. Yes, venom of love is nice, but that could also be compared to other chocolate cherry scents as well. Thanks for watching

[@1320Lee]

Thank you for the hoest review. I no longer blind buy from Navitus, got burned too many times. Will wait for all of the reviews and then maybe buy a decant.

[@1FragrantVirgo]

Can't play about my integrity & any time I record mines can be on the line… Outside of having access to it first, sampling & decanting is the way to go, especially if you know most of the brands fragrances have not appealed to you. Thanks for watching!

[@LupitaMGG]

I thought it was just me, and I’m glad you said Raid, because I couldn’t quite put my finger on what this smelled like, but yes, absolutely Raid! I am so disappointed, especially because I am out over a hundred dollars since I cannot return. So, I have no choice than to let it sit and hope it gets better, because who the heck wants to smell like Raid! I was hoping to get another banger like Melon Kiss, but this is just not it.

[@1FragrantVirgo]

😂 I could be telling my age with that potpourri reference of bug spray, but that's what it smelled like to me initially... I really wish they would let these fragrances develop into whatever THEY are smelling before bottling & putting them out. The fact that you almost have to wait 1 to 3 months AFTER purchase for the fragrance to really take its true scent form is why reviews can't be given in a complete positive light up front. I have no issue giving an update on a fragrance... & While I do enjoy this, I can tell it needs to sit. I have not smelled melon kiss and a few people said they Decluttered it almost immediately so I may skip on that one completely. Hopefully it develops into something you enjoy & thanks for watching!

[@MagnifiscentsbyVern]

I agree. First spray was a plastic mess...but I had faith! Each day it smells better and I'm starting to like it alot. I believe it will be as beautiful as she described it in another week. 😁🤞🏼💓

[@1FragrantVirgo]

Unfortunately, like a lot of their fragrances- they need to sit a while before they reach the point that obviously the developers got to when they okayed the formula.😒 So I would suggest continuing to wear it if you'd like the scent (which I do) but also be mindful. It may be another month or two before you smell it at its full of potential! this was the case with lost in a dream for me… It was very soft, but after about the second month of having it, it developed and had more depth...and more potent fragrance where I could identify the notes better as well. Thanks for watching!

[@MagnifiscentsbyVern]

@1FragrantVirgo You're welcome. I experienced the same with Lost in a Dream, but why is it such a difference between AI's perfume. I liked all of hers on first spray...except for Amorous Intense. Amorous took more time for me to decide to keep her. She's my number 3 in AI's perfume lineup.

[@1FragrantVirgo]

@MagnifiscentsbyVern it may have something to do with the notes she's chosen, since they're all very bright by nature I feel… And I feel the same. My favorite is actually amour infinite, followed by ambrosia imperiale, then amorous intense.💯

[@LoSoNatural]

Look is definitely giving Cabana Sunset! 🔥😍

[@1FragrantVirgo]

Thank you babes 🥰🩷

[@chrisab3217]

Thank you for your review ❣ I was tempted to blind buy this thinking it would be like a strawberry vanilla marshmellow , but most of the more popular /raved about scents from Navitus don't work for me at all ... I feel like I've wasted a lot of 💲💲 bottles that are just sitting

[@1FragrantVirgo]

It is absolutely not that it is very much bright & semi-aldehydic.... the strawberry jam in it is level. The apple 🍏 note lingers throughout but with a lot of their fragrances they need to macerate another 1-2 months before putting them out honestly. But nooo this is NOT gourmand in that way . 💯

[@1FragrantVirgo]

Also if you're looking good something like that check out Sugar Me Sweet BBT... pure gourmands and very affordable. 💜 let them know I sent you!

[@chrisab3217]

@@1FragrantVirgo Thanks you so much for taking the time to reply and helping with my concerns in the fragrance and I don't think it's what I'm looking for .... Hufflepuff is truly one of my fav fragrances and it's like the mid notes are skipped over , I get all the vanilla and fruits on top , I thought maybe that would be how Cabana might be.... thank you for saving me 🙏💲💲💲🙏

[@1FragrantVirgo]

Never a problem and it is absolutely nothing like that house of sillage fragrance! Whew!! 😂 I would be inclined to say the Capri in Kayali's Vacay a bottle set is closer to Hufflepuff...💛

Mine arrives today. I’m nervous I haven’t heard a lot of people liking it. 😅

[@1FragrantVirgo]

While I do... I will admit it is quite unique... definitely not mass appealing.😂

Paulina claims that no one has anything bad to say about it haha 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@patrice5250]

Reminds me of her release Kind Intentions with Navitus.

[@sundayrose3263]

Yeah only sweeter, screechy and pointless. I sold mine for 100 with a couple of sprays less. Thank goodness I am past that!!

[@1FragrantVirgo]

I didn't get to smell that one but a lot of people I know that got it decluttered. So I was glad I didn't buy.

[@iroheindel230]

i sold that. Did not like it.

[@marcygotay1980]

This was a hard no for me. Sold it in Marcari. 😢

Understandable... this is definitely not mass appealing in the least. very similar DNA in Amorous Intense, which I also enjoy.
