Hi Shana, wow you really hit on a lot of fragrances that I was planning on purchasing. I'm so glad that I watched this review. I was planning on getting that aqualina pink flower, and that blue juicy couture one. Also the Perry Ellis. I was wondering about that blue juicy couture one because I saw it at Burlington and almost bought it. You are such an excellent reviewer and I've purchased so many fragrances that you have recommended and all have been superb. Thank you once again for your great reviews sweetheart!

I really dont understand when people see another review that doesnt work for them so they say I'm not gonna get that now. Fragrances are subjective!! Try it for yourself!! There's tons of fragrances in this video that I enjoy and you might as well. Never ever take these videos to heart. It's one person's opinion...

Pink flower is nice .
@balletsing39082 жыл бұрын
Great video ! I agree about the pink flower. I wanted to like it but it smells too much like Lavie EB which doesn’t work for me either. My favorite cheapie that nobody ever talks about is still the Ed Hardy perfume in the beige bottle with the pretty Asian lady on the bottle. Something in that perfume is so distinctive to me. I’ve never smelled anything else like it and it’s comforting for some reason.
@ShanaJ2 жыл бұрын
I know that ED Hardy. I have it. Very clean and Musky. Very Asian inspired and I love it. I don't wear it often and I've never recommended it because it doesn't project that much one me. I'm so sad abt that. I agree though...one of Ed Hardy's gems.

And I have a sample of light clouds, it’s nice at first, but there is definitely something weird about it! Also I have to tell you that I picked up Perry Ellis 18 Orchid, based on your recommendation in a recent video you posted, and it is absolutely beautiful! 💜 I had downloaded some of your videos to watch on a recent trip, and while I was there I went to a Ross store for my first time ever, and I found the 18 orchid, with the perfume, AND the body spray for $14.99! I could not believe my eyes! 🤩 i’m actually wearing it today and enjoying it so much!

Ooh girl ... this is interesting! I do love the Perry Ellis Sensual 18 so much as an everyday affordable Jadore dupe... but I do wear it on my clothes only(for health reasons I don’t put fragrance on my skin) so it doesn’t turn sour and stays that fresh clean floral scent ... maybe before decluttering try it on your clothes? And I do love LaVie Est Belle so I like the Pink Sugar one as it is a great affordable dupe for LVEB (I have both) so if peeps like LVEB I think it’s a good one, but a lot just can’t vibe w/ it so that’s what makes life more fun... thanks for sharing 🥰❤️😘
