DO NOT Spend Your Money On These Popular Perfumes!

[@sophialee2630]

So far I have never bought a fragrance from hype. I hunt for fragrances that suits my personal tastes, moods, or vibes.

[@anechkafragrances]

That’s a very smart way of looking at it

[@lesliemcmillan2971]

I absolutely despise BR540. It smells like dental office antiseptic, so I cannot understand any part of wanting that perfume, much less paying hundreds for it. I have never smelled the others. But I'll never spend more than $50 for a perfume. I can find better for less, always.

[@anechkafragrances]

I totally get you, there are so many awesome perfumes under $50!

[@keyanaRay2092]

Although I must admit I get more compliments on the Dossier version of 540 than the original which I thought was strange.

[@debrawells-hopey1980]

I love BR540 but after comparing a decant of the original to Red Tempation from Zara, I found the Zara to be a better performer 😂

[@anechkafragrances]

I think the sillage on BR540 is meant to be subtle so the dupes definitely come off as longer lasting

[@princessGosia]

I love so much BC540, I now this scent since a few months and I don’t know anyone using it and never smelled it on anyone. Yes. It is possible! There is one problem- no one can smell me, I never received a compliment and I almost don’t smell it on myself. So shame 😢 I love it so much …

[@anechkafragrances]

The sillage comes and goes on that one for sure!

Many people are now complaining about the original Baccarat Rouge 540 not smelling the same anymore. They're claiming that it opens with more alcohol and doesn't last long and many have returned theirs only to get the same results with the exchange bottle. They feel that it has been reformulated. One person commented that someone brought MFK and did indeed reformulated the fragrance. I agree with you about La Vie Est Belle, I hated it. 😷

[@anechkafragrances]

That’s interesting! I haven’t compared BR540 much with other editions

[@simplythebestgirl]

Fun video! I actually love La Vie Est Belle. I love sweet perfumes, though. 💗✨💗

[@anechkafragrances]

I do know a few people who appreciate it, I just am not a huge fan of the original but I love Idole!

[@jimnist10]

I totally agree with your views on spending $ on frags that everyone wears. Even if it's not super expensive, I also prefer to spend my $ on something special. That said, I am definitely more easily swayed by hype to spend $ when something is not super expensive (did I preorder Yara Candy? Yes lol)

[@anechkafragrances]

I like to take a balanced approach. I’ve definitely blind bought perfumes before as well!

[@LuciaChambers1]

540 is awful. But Delina smells heavenly on my skin. I bought two bottles so far and never tire of it. I always buy a decant or sample before I spend on a full bottle. I did get a decant of Exclusif and that will be my next full bottle. It's gorgeous on my skin. Also, I buy from discount houses. I believe in purchasing from artists in order to fund their efforts, and Never buy knockoffs or dupes.

[@anechkafragrances]

Thank you for sharing! I do want to eventually get a Delina but it’s likely not going to happen any time soon

[@loribreitbarth2215]

Interesting thoughts. I adore my Delina Exclusif and am not sorry i bought it but I would never spend $400 dollars on it. 😂. People for sure need to be financially responsible with any hobby or collection. The things you love can bring you enjoyment if done responsibly or do you damage. True of almost everything

[@Penchimu]

There are a lot of popular fragrances I love for a mood or moment but don’t really want to spend all this money on something I’ll wear for a specific occasion. I really like having a decant collection for the 1 or 2 times a year I’ll actually wear something as strong as Delina.

[@anechkafragrances]

I have expanded my decant collection a slot this year!

[@ihebmchirgui2513]

Keep going ❤❤❤

[@anechkafragrances]

Haha these are kinda fun to do

[@kristinmary4025]

I had all three Delenas bought secondhand but still yes it adds up for sure but the only one I ended up keeping is Delena La Rosie. I am actually fan of Yara OG. Don’t really love any of the others from the line. EP Is too harsh in my opinion I tried the gold version and although better still not for me. 💛💛

[@anechkafragrances]

I will probably get Delina Exclusive second hand at some point!

[@corinajebelean9167]

you are right in everything you said❤😊

[@anechkafragrances]

Thank you :)

[@Eirini80]

I love Baccarat but Al Haramain amber oud ruby is an excellent dupe and way cheaper.

[@anechkafragrances]

Oooh I haven’t tried that one!

[@keyanaRay2092]

I'm an attorney I I don't even tell people what they should spend their money on lol

[@anechkafragrances]

I’m sharing my opinions but everyone is responsible for their own actions

[@keyanaRay2092]

I understand

[@kristinmary4025]

😂💛

[@DEEDEE7634]

Some attorneys should not be giving financial advice. The fact that you are an attorney does not qualify you to give financial advice…lol She made valid points. Some people absolutely should not buy a $400 perfume. You really don’t need to be an attorney to make that call.

[@kristinmary4025]

Think it was made as a joke 🤔

[@tenza7556]

As over saturated as the universe is with BR540....it us simply stunning. On rhe other hand, La Vie est Belle is completely horrendous to my nose 🤢. It is a total patchouli bomb in the worst way.

[@anechkafragrances]

I do love the scent profile but I feel like I need to take a break from it 😆
