[@inkyimpressions]

I absolutely LOOOVVVEEEE that you are back to your roots into designer again! So many people on the niche train so this is suuucccchh a breath of fresh air to switch it up!!!

[@demirawling]

I’m so excited about designer fragrances again!!! ❤

[@ElizabethDampier]

Agreed ❤

[@dianadodon5811]

For a while designer fragrances were meh 🫤 but recently they started to release good stuff so many of us are back to designer 😊

[@Persefone94]

Also, it the same niche over and over and over again! There are so many niche perfumes that have been around for quite a while and truly are different and cool. However, having said that I totally love designer and in particular Chanel Exclusives so YAY!

[@demirawling]

@@Persefone94I’m also obsessed with Chanel Exclusifs !!!

[@christinavanmeter5034]

I feel like niche has become more about “the status” than the smell.

Very well stated.

[@rhiannonmurphy9034]

Agreed!

[@tanyabrooke_1981]

Prada Iris is BEAUTIFUL. So comforting, clean, fluffy, feminine.

[@stoeberhund]

Prada Candy was like my signature scent when I was 16/17. And back then the longevity was really good, I would spray it on in the evening, party the whole night and when I woke up the next morning I could absolutely still smell it on my skin.

[@dreamchaser7603]

I completely agree! Niche was the vibe a few years ago when most people were wearing the same designer fragrances and niche brands were mysterious to a general public. Nowadays niche became the new mainstream and designer/ lux perfumes are appealing again.

[@JR-lw3ms]

I've said it before and it is still true for me.... Mon Guerlain is the ultimate feminine fragrance to me! Zen is effervescent and fun, effortless and happy! And Alien is my first true love, absolutely amazing!

[@baugust4775]

Mon guerlain is my ride or die. I always get compliments and when I dont know what to wear that's my go to. It's magic. Alien is always in my collection. I go through stages of loving it and giving it a break but it always comes back around. I have always wanted to try zen and have it back on my wishlist after this video. My Prada candy is now my 15 year old daughters favorite so I'm letting her have it.

[@fatmatasheku8655]

[@joannegibbons2]

I have loved Mon G since the first time I smelled it but I can never decide if I like the edp or the intense version.

[@elizabethw.454]

Omg I LOVE Mon Guerlain glad it's getting some love

[@ElizabethDampier]

Wow, coming from you hearing the validation that I needed to hear about the niche industry is everything. I’ve been seeing so many influencers dog out Designer, Arabic, and celebrity fragrances while Designer fragrances are my absolute fave. So happy to see this and hopefully this can spark a change in the perfume community and force the niche houses to do better.❤

[@breannacarels6479]

I had a love affair with designer last year, and yes so many are nostalgic and some are gone forever. Chole Nomade Absolu is one of my top 10 for life, recently discontinued and i have 2 back up bottles. I used to wear Infusion d’Iris in my early twenties. It was my signature back in the day. I still wear it from time to time. Glorious.

[@meg9645]

Coco noir is my signature scent for fall winter.

[@cflex7914]

Burberry goddess lasts forever on my skin! So interesting to see how perfume can react so different on different people. Love this video!

[@shandel499]

I use the roll on Madagascar Vanilla then I apply my perfume. Lasts ages. I love the original Goddess

We are in the same era, coming back to designer❤❤❤ and same tastes! Please say to Mugler to give again Angel Muse❤

Your obsession is so contagious Demi … Almost all of my blind buys because of your recommendations and they will forever stay in my collections ❤

[@lowplace]

I started following your content because you were one of the few content creators who loved Balenciaga's Florabotanica as much as I did back in the day 💚 Loving the decision to go back to designer fragrance content!

[@nicoledoudprado1390]

I’m still so mad they haven’t come back with their line.

[@CH-vi7uu]

I love so many designers!! Carolina Herrera good girl blush drives my man insane, NR Musc Noir Rose, Valentino donna born in Roma 😩 (hate that is soooo popular but for a good reason!), dior addict, Chloe Nomade naturalle, Chloe roses de Chloe, the og mon Guerlain and the intense, and not sure if they count but kayali the wedding silk santal and vanilla 28!! That’s my whole designer collection and I think I would repurchase every single one of them when they run out!

[@annkristinskadberg4417]

This video made me so happy!😍😍 reminded me of the period when I first started to watch your videos and a simpler times in a way. Could have watched you talk about designers for hours❤️

[@helenmeyer9425]

It makes me so happy that you are talking about designer fragrances again.

[@loriallen6650]

Angel Muse is my baby. It is phenomenal. Years later it's still a force to be reckoned with. One of my Holiday scent. Thanks for sharing that info. on a rarely talked about classic masterpiece.

[@BAW47]

Muglers Angel✨ will forever hold a special place in my heart. I know the scent is quite polarizing. it broke all of the fragrance rules of the early 90s and was completely unapologetic. It was as if Mugler bottled the essence of Gen X during the 90s. Every time i wear it, it transcends me to a different time & place. Bittersweet. Amazing video! Thank you for all of the recommendations, i have mon Guerlain and NR from your previous recommendations! Excited to try a few others!!! 😘🥰😊

I totally agree with your thoughts on niche fragrances. I was in Las Vegas over the weekend and tried several niche brands and none of them made me as happy as my Devotion!!

[@BLARG09]

Prada candy was my signiture for years. So soft and cozy

[@NorthernScentsAlaska]

Si Fiori is my favorite feminine pretty, designer fragrance! Its one of my signature scents! I have 2 open bottles and 2 sealed in the packaging backups!

[@wekabeka]

Thank goodness! I’ve been feeling so overwhelmed, exhausted, and a little disappointed from the relentless output of niche releases… I just want beautifully composed perfumes that personally resonate and-most importantly-that don’t disappear after an hour😢. Sadly, many of the niche fragrances I have “invested” in are high maintenance-super expensive and quickly become skin scents, requiring repeated applications throughout the day to maintain the aroma. I recently reconnected with designer fragrances after being gifted a bottle of Devotion-wow, it is such an intoxicatingly yummy, all day stunner. Love NR’ Musc Rose, too -so reasonably priced! Prada Infusion d’Iris is my mum’s signature scent, so I totally get your trepidation 😆-but it is pure elegance💜. I live in Tokyo, so Zen is an easy and super appropriate option for me-my first ever fragrance purchase was Shiseido’s Feminite du Bois, sadly, the Serge Luten version lacks the depth and allure of the original. Based on your comments, I’m going to reconnect with Zen tomorrow- I first tried it about 20 years when it was in the original black bottle. 😊 In terms of designer fragrances, I absolutely adore the entire Jardin series from Hermes, particularly Un Jardin a Cythere. I would love to hear your thoughts on the range. 🙏🏻

[@amya8316]

Prada Infusion D’Iris was my scent back in the 2010’s. I’m going to have to repurchase now! I also miss the original Banana Republic W scent that came out in the 90’s that and Angel were my two high school perfumes. So much nostalgia with this video. Thanks for reminding me of my perfume roots!

[@Lunarangst]

Mon Guerlain Intense is my preferred, I adore it this time of year . And love the Sparkling Bouquet in Spring . Fab video lovely

[@danadawson9790]

I couldn't agree more with you on niche right now. Not only are they either terrible or just redundant,but the prices are just getting out of hand. Ive seen "niche snobs" lol doing 180 and going back to designer or just dupes or middle eastern...right now im finding that either very small niche brands are still thought out and great like for instance January scent project their perfumes are all so beautiful and unique especially Selperniku. But im finding middle eastern scents are now dominantating the perfume world coming in close is dupe houses..

[@alexandrinemntcrx]

Love this designer fragrance comeback from you! I would love to see a video where you share underrated designer fragrances that give off niche/luxury vibes if possible! ❤

[@dasharayoflight]

YES!!! I feel the exact same way about the niche perfume industry as you do! Since the start of summer I have been into designer fragrances again and in truth I find that many of them (especially those from the late 90s and early to mid 00s) are done better and are way more unique than current niche ones! I’m just so happy I’m not the only one feeling this way cos I thought it might be the first signs of aging 😂😅

[@leilani_808]

That lipstick - wow!! I al not a big makeup person, let alone lipstick fanatic, but whoa!! What a gorgeous color on such a gorgeous woman. 😊 Thank You, Demi. I love both niche and designer fragrances but you’re right, I have been purchasing and wearing more designer fragrances lately. Niche has become overwhelming! I haven’t purchased a bottle for a while. In fact, I’ve been shopping my own collection and I love it! Well, this morning I bought two bottles of Silk Santal but I’ve been wanting a bottle since its release. 😂

[@oliviastelmach1750]

People think niche are all groundbreaking and designer aren't but some designer fragrances really are/were groundbreaking for their time like you said!

[@dieudonnesmit1131]

[@mrscluedo7597]

Infusion d’iris de Prada is one on my favorite scent! Oh, and I’m French 😊😉

[@The_Cherokee_Gypsy]

You’re absolutely right about the niche world right now. They’re not really thought out at all. It’s really just about over consumption. The new releases they’re coming out with have been mediocre. I’m just not impressed. I did get a sample of palatine, and although it’s light and pretty, it is a bit underwhelming. I do like it though and my husband does too. It’s just so aggravating every time I get on KZbin theirs 20 new fragrances almost every single time that are coming out. They say they don’t want you to spend your money on them, yet they encourage if you do to use their discount code lol. I just wish they would slow down. Actually appreciate the ones you have instead of throwing 20-50 different releases in our faces at once.

[@sb853547]

Kindly do not feel pressured to do designer fragrances being honest is such an important thing. Would love the designer recommendations though but not force yourself. Only mention if you truly love them. Love the list though❤❤

Have to try some of these. Mon Guerlain is a classic for me. I don’t wear it often lately, but it has a great projection on me. Unfortunately, I am not a Jazz Club fan but I do understand the appeal. I’m also into the Prada Infusions. Super fresh and easy to wear.

I love Infusion D'Iris! And I have 3 bottles of Angel Muse, and I finished one already.. I would add Chanel #5 but VINTAGE. The IFRA restrictions ruined it. There was something animatic in it and it has legs. I have an 80's EDC and it lasts 12 hours at least..

[@710inferno]

Chloe Nomade Jasmin Naturel Intense is a chameleon. It was not a love at first sniff but has become a favorite. She smells good in the cooler weather too- more sweet and woody. I’m feeling it in this New England transitional weather. In the warmer weather I pick up on that creamy coconut you mentioned especially the more this perfume sits- I believe that’s coming from the mirabelle note?

[@candice446]

Same!! I’m about to get Dior Hypnotic Poison. Back in my designer era.

[@teenaM209]

My all time fav designer scent is Gucci Envy Me and sadly has been discontinued for sometime now😢 I wish they would bring it back if only for a moment so I can get a bottle!

I prefer By the Fireplace to Jazz Club but YES both are super addictive.

[@jaytibee]

Yes, last year August when I tried Burberry Goddess and bought it, I immediately thought it smelled similar to Kayali Silk Santal, which I also had in a travel size during that time. Went back to the hotel, gave my friend my Kayali travel and wore Goddess to her wedding the next day lol. Some people disaster but that sparkling-toned vanilla is undeniable. Everyone in the hotel room smelled both and agreed, but the consensus was that Goddess was a little warmer. Also why I wasn't stressed that Silk Santal was possibly not returning.

[@iiacarter3958]

I’m soooo surprised you like Prada Candy! I mostly think we enjoy similar scents but I personally find that one super sweet. I am hoping you have an exclusives video coming soon 🤞🏼

You have me so intrigued about the similarities of Silk Santal & Burberry Goddess-I just sprayed on each arm & I’m actually getting what you’re putting out! Thinking if I sprayed Vanilla 28 & then Goddess it might be even more similar! Silk has that vanilla 28 sweetness in the drydown.
