Cheap Amazing Perfumes that Nobody Talks About! Discover

[@jonyu3597]

Jil Sander was actually big in the US in the 90s. She was one of the pillars of 90s minimalism

[@lavoixdevelours]

I'm so interested in these uncommon brands/ perfumes that aren't niche. It's fun to find affordable gems.

[@MariaMeliora]

My absolute favorite sport too 😅

[@Ryanfnaf]

Kristi Marie I agree

[@OphelieFontaine]

No. 4 by Jil Sander is one of THE most beautiful vintage and still produced scent: love ❤

[@missGigi14]

I own them all, purchase blind over the last 2 yrs., don't tell no one 😅

Yay!! Hidden gems are my favorites! ♥️

Great selections and descriptions! New sub here. Came over from Joss Jane's collab with you. 😊

A few hidden gems in my collection: Amor Amor by Cacharel, Joop! Le Bain, Lalique Amethyst, and Lanvin Eclat de Fleurs. 💗

[@MariaMeliora]

what is Joop! Le Bain like? i keep hearing that it is a old cult favorite within the affordable sector, but never had a chance to try it!

[@marimedgal]

Maria Meliora Joop! Le Bain is a lovely fragrance. I’ve heard a few fragrance reviewers on KZbin speak highly of it, so I had to try it. I bought a brand new bottle for about $20 US. It’s slightly sweet but definitely not cloying. It’s slightly musky and powdery. It has good lasting power too. It’s unlike any fragrance I’ve had before. I heard someone say it’s a good dupe for one of the Alien flankers but I don’t remember which one. I only have the original Alien and it doesn’t smell anything like that one. The only thing I don’t like about Joop! Le Bain is the bottle; it’s not very attractive, but the juice inside makes up for it. 🥰

[@MichelMawon4982]

I love Jil Sander.

[@lindabrady5751]

because of your review I purchased Simply poudree by Jill Sander and I am so so happy with it! My new favorite! thank you!!! I also tested Jenifer Aniston's and will be getting a full bottle next month. love your reviews as they are so informative!

[@MariaMeliora]

Oh wow, I'm so happy you enjoyed it!!

[@trudyrogers789]

I have listened to your second video first and now have found video number one. Enjoyed it as well. So much a decades old woman doesn’t know about perfumes. I will repeat in this post I wear Flowers by Cynthia Rowley an Avon find and it reminds me of my Grandmothers flower garden no expensive!

[@gladysbenitez5975]

I have all the perfumes that you mentioned: Agree, they are awesome!

[@SarahMayes]

I think I am going to need to pick up some of these. What a great, unique list! ❤️

Oh thank you, Sarah, I'm glad you found smth interesting to try!

[@MarcePaz2008]

First time here and I love how you describe the perfume specially the aldehydes, that part got me to subscribe in your channel, well done 👍 love this video ❤️

[@MariaMeliora]

Thank you so much for your words of support!!

[@Kari-of2ub]

I would love to hear your thoughts on Design and 273 - two favorites from the 80’s. soooo good.

[@MariaWandering]

Hello Maria! You have already made me buy Lalique le Parfum and la Mia Perla and now I m close to buying Burberry Brit Rythm. Could you tell me pls how people around you perceive it, if they have commented on it etc.? Thank you dear 🥰

[@medicinejo]

Another instalment will be great. Also you mention that there are some good peach scents on the market - can you elaborate in another video ? I like Burberry Weekend. It’s probably my favourite cheapie. I also like the original Chloe EDT - you have to like soapy aldehydes though. I’ll have to try the Jennifer Aniston .😘❤️🌈

[@MariaMeliora]

I had a huge bottle of original Chloe, used to love it.. and then I think I got too much.. overnight lost any interest in it and gave to my mom :)) She finished that bottle in no time by the way lol

[@heather235]

A good peach cheapie is Paris Hilton Passport Paris. The packaging is juvenile and ridiculous, but it’s a nice fragrance. 😁

[@MariaMeliora]

@@heather235 good to know, thank you for sharing!

Is the pendant Lalique EDT or EDP? Great video as usual, and yes, please continue this series :)

Thank you! 💖

[@kimberlyjones7623]

I need to try some Lalique perfumes out ! I’ve been searching for some good cheap , but awesome old perfumes that last . Especially floral and rose ones . I hear perfumers workshop Tea Rose is a gem .

[@MariaMeliora]

Oh yeah tea rose is quite a classic tke on British rose garden

[@kimberlyjones7623]

Maria Meliora I keep debating on buying that one . I’m just hoping it smells like real roses and nothing fake .

[@MynameisNOTthepoint]

Lalique le parfum is sooo good!! Definitely a unique take on vanilla. I blind bought it recently and i love it? It doesn’t smell like anything else i own! It’s worth the buy for the bottle alone! Such quality!

[@onashemoglavnom]

Fullheartedly agree! I wish all people knew about them, such an underrated gem!

[@MynameisNOTthepoint]

Masha oNashemoGlavnom absolutely!! I’m eyeing Soliel next! The bottle is absolutely stunning!

[@MariaMeliora]

oh that bottle is something else indeed!

[@olgachernev7054]

Hi Maria, thx for the video ! I tried Burberry Brit rithm and I think it’s similar to Maison Francis Kurkdjian Petit Matin ! Definitely will buy the Burberry 🤩🤩🤩👍

[@MariaMeliora]

wow, is it? Thanks for sharing!! I don't yet have a single one from the Maison line, what an interesting insight!

[@olgachernev7054]

On the official website they have samples for 14€ , if they deliver to States it will be so great 😀 just want to hear your opinion about that house perfumery!🌹

Love this video! I would love to hear more about your cheapies that don’t get a lot of attention. I’m definitely going to buy the Jill Sanders. I am also very interested in the Lalique fragrances. I’ve heard good things about Amethyst. Do you like that one?

[@MariaMeliora]

yeah i have it too - wonderful for those who love more sour berries notes. I mostly use it as a roomspray, love it in the air more than on me:)

[@tikcelo7308]

I very like your video, as usual 🙂You should try Oscar de la Renta Esprit d’Oscar, it’s very nice powdery perfume and it’s very affordable. My favorite perfumes are L’Ange Noire Givenchy and Shalimar Initial L’Eau Guerlain🌸but they are hard to find and not so cheap. Did you try them? For months I was thinking of buying something new, calming for this corona situation : JHAG Not a perfume, Eau Parfumee au The Bleu Bvlgari or Burberry Brit Rhythm for Women? What do you think? Thanks and wish you Happy Easter 🐣 🌸♥️🎀🐣

[@MariaMeliora]

Oh d'espirit is another beautiful option, have 100 ml of it!

[@MariaMeliora]

Well, if you ask me 15-17$ for Brit brythm is the way to go ! They are all cute, jhag I can't justify the price for the cheapest aromatic ingredient , that is about a dollar per ton 😅

[@MariaMeliora]

Happy Easter ❤️❤️❤️

Oh, I hate that Rose by Pierre Cardin.. It smells like a perfume for an old lady. And nobody wants to have it, even for free.

[@MariaMeliora]

If by "Old lady" you mean any perfume made before 2000s , then yes. Have nothing to do with age and much to do with taste 😉

[@ARoss-hl7gj]

Lancome's Poeme is HORRIBLE!

[@MariaMeliora]

Hold your horses, darling. Why is it horrible for you?

Some perfumes smell bad on skin but that doesn't mean the perfume itself is bad. Some fragrances are just not working for your taste or your chemistry. I'm curious too, why do you find poeme terrible?

[@ARoss-hl7gj]

I actually owned this perfume when it first came out in the 90's. Must have a note that makes it stink. I've never met anyone who wears it. I live in California...maybe just not our style...lol.. or possibly they have changed the formula. :)

That's probably the issue with this :) up here in Canada heavy strong perfumes are working well in cold long winters.

[@MariaMeliora]

@@ARoss-hl7gj oh oh, speaking as a Californian, I can happily share, that Poeme is an absolute hit down here, lots of compliments . This is a powerful sweet floral. If used sparingly it is majestic. Most perfumes stink if over sprayed, and there are always individual preferences at play. But let's not over generalize and ascribe other people or objects our subjective feelings. There is plenty to love in the perfume land, enough for all❤️
