I agree. It's one thing to say your opinion on certain perfumes but to call other women trashy for liking them is not an opinion. She could have said everything she doesn't like about these perfumes and not down talk anyone else. I don't know why she did this video because I HOPE she knows that most people don't and shouldn't listen to others when it comes to things they like wearing. If she so much wants to say what perfumes she doesn't like she really could have just said so.

[@dulaneygibson2014]

Who is this chick to make these judgments? I don’t like any of these scents either but Fragrance is literally a medley of scents…..Various Scents that exist on earth and were created to enjoy on various occasions. Who made her “classy judge”? This is So disgusting. Really annoyed me deeply. Who are you but a VERY basic lady yourself ??? If vanilla sex had a name.

[@laurajohnson7836]

⁠@@kix1464I agree. There’s a perfume for everyone and any age. Wear what you like. And….she kept saying you are asking for compliments. Isn’t that part of the reason we want to wear perfume? And also perfume is about confidence, if you can pull it off, wear it.

[@kix1464]

@@laurajohnson7836 I think most people don’t (or at least shouldn’t) care about getting compliments from others. Wearing perfumes is all about how you feel about yourself. Some take a sniff of their favourite perfume when they are feeling sick or not good, some use perfume to fall asleep better etc. Getting compliments might make most people feel good about themselves but that shouldn’t be part of why to wear perfume. Because if your perfume is so noticeable/memorable it’s overpowering you and the you won’t get noticed/remembered. If you want the perfume to overpower you then by all means go for it. You aren’t harming anyone by doing so. And sometimes people just want to smell their perfumes very strongly (because of reasons already mentioned) but then again they aren’t wearing it to get compliments but to feel good about themselves. You are right though that perfume can be about confidence. If it makes you feel good, you just radiate that feeling. And that’s what I wish to see in the world more of.

I'll have to disagree on Decadence. For me, Decadence might not smell classy (classy sounds a bit matronly to me) but it's sexy in a mature-woman way. She's in control and she doesn't follow the rules or what's tredy.

[@almea86]

Totally agree. Decadence is my dominatrix scent - not too elegant to wear in La Scala or Metropolitan Opera, not too weird or masculine-bossy-harsh type of thing that Tom Ford represents. I was hesitant when buying it in 2018 and perceived it as "too much", but it grew on me. I also own La Belle - that's my top 5 of fragrances, almost my signature scent. I wouldn't agree it's a classy alternative for Decadence - totally different profile and vibe.

I wear black opium and get told it smells more vanilla on me. Perfume smells different on everyone, so it's not everyone else's problem if something smells bad on you. Not hating just also being honest

I own Angel,Alien,and Decadence.I like them for winter and a little goes a long way.They are a good contrast to my introverted personality and my tendency to choose dark clothes in classic styles.

[@chucksareforshmucks5520]

Exactly the same here, I have and love all 3 of them, and Angel is my O.G. I get compliments in Angel especially (I don't care, that's not why I wear it), and they are beautiful.

I think you mean “basic” or “common” not ratchet. Lol. But i see what you’re trying to do here

[@jaysee7283]

Classy would be maybe just discussing fragrances that you don’t enjoy. I’d rather smell of all these fragrances combined that brand anything a stripper scent or be so rude to anyone. . To me, that’s not classy. But hey, get those views gurl.!

[@VAL702]

Someone is definitely offended 🤣🤣

[@jaysee7283]

@@VAL702 not me. Not at all.. I personally don’t own any off the fragrances mentioned and they’re not to my taste, however, if you’re going to talk about trying to keep it classy, keep it classy. Emphasise what you love, simply say that a certain scent or a particular note is not to your taste. Absolutely no need to bring strippers or anything that puts anyone else down into the conversation at all. I just think, as I said earlier If you’re going to talk about keeping it classy, it’s a good idea to exude some class yourself.I’d never dream to put anyone down for views. It’s easy to give your own preferences and tastes without negating anyone else’s.

[@jaysee7283]

@@mamenamamena nope, I’m not offended at all. You can try and label me with that title because it suits your narrative but I’m not offended in any way. I’m.simply making an observation that, in my opinion , a video that is judgemental about what is and is not deemed as classy should, in itself, be classy. I have no emotional, triggery, offended upset in the slightest, I adore my fragrance wardrobe and I love watching fragrance videos on KZbin. I just thought this was tacky and nasty and normally I’m a firm believer in just letting it go, I wouldn’t normally even dream of leave a dislike, never mind a negative comment, I’d just put it down to personal taste. I just thought in this particular instance that it’s it was worth mentioning that the video was a perfect example of the lack of class it was attempting to put down and disparage. I’m not in myself offended because nothing said triggers anything for me personally, I’m just a passive observer who took a moment to call this out as being nasty. Because it is.

Im confused...Who’s labeling women as trashy? This video is talking about ratchet/trashy fragrances. I didn’t hear any women being trashed, did I miss something?

[@TheScented]

You are correct, @C.V. This video is about fragrances ONLY

[@janmacdonald9645]

@@TheScented It really doesn't come across that way. If you said "if you wear this you'll smell like trashy perfume", that's one thing, but to say "you'll smell trashy" it indicates that there are some women who are trashy and you will smell like them. Don't get me wrong...I'm a fan and I understand people take things differently at times, but I'm seeing a bit of an unfortunate trend on some of the fragrance influencer pages that seems to belittle or "sort" women into classes. Ie. perfumes worn by the "plain girls" trying to look cool. It's a little cringey and I don't think how it is coming across is how you mean it. While to some it may just be semantics but to others it's going to matter. Stay well, stay safe.

@@Keonahawk24 "since she is so intelligent.." Your comment told me more about you than it did about her..

[@c.v.9497]

@Keona Hawkins with everything going on in the world, you don’t need to reach so far. I grew up urban urban, in the ratchet boogie down Bronx of nyc. Ratchet was used to discribe a type of girl, not by their color of skin. Its been used on the Italians in Morris park to the Albanians on alerton ave to the Puerto Rican’s on castle hill. In its recent blowup of use, it has no racist connotations. I can’t speak of the past origins, other than In my years of hearing that word it was never a racial slur, and while I won’t admit my age, let’s just say I am more than a couple of decades old. I get wanting to inform people of the origins that have been lost in history, but next time come with information, not another form of insults and attacks, especially when “I’m savage, yeah, classy, boogie, ratchet, yeah, sassy, moody, nasty...” has actually redefined its meaning into a label that does not carry with it any shame, or derogatory inappropriateness.

[@evalynhesketh9301]

Agree, but my husband loves Viva La Juicy Gold. Put it on once at my parents’ house, bc I didn’t have anything else with me, and I wore it when I was younger. I now wear it for him on special occasions bc he finds the smell so sexy.😂 Definitely not my every day perfume or for when I’m trying to feel sophisticated and put together. Like another comment said, everyone needs that one trashy scent in their collection.🤷🏼‍♀️

[@alacransillamusical507]

All men go crazy for viva la juicy gold, young and old 😂😅

So glad you made this one! I thought I was the only one who thought Black Opium smelled "ratchet." lol I have never understood the hype around that one. I think a lot of youtubers were actually paid to promote it. Also, agree with Decadence. It smells like a club with drinks spilled everywhere. This is a wonderful video and I appreciate the classier suggestions.

[@paletteandeasel5167]

I like a lot of “trashy”perfumes. If I like the smell and it mixes well with my body chemistry, I’ll wear it but I don’t douse myself in it. I think almost any perfume can be nice in moderation. I really like the smell of Black Opium but I don’t have it in my collection yet. To me, I think it’s more of a fall/winter fragrance and I might buy it later this year. Whenever I’m in Ulta I gotta smell Black Opium. I love coffee…so maybe that’s why this scent is so yummy to me.

[@Hello61Jello]

For some reason Viva La juicy always get me the most complements. I got it as a gift and just wanted to use it up to get rid of it but no perfume has ever gotten me this many complements. It even got me the title of "always smelling good" in my friend group during the time I wore it

I think there's no thrashy perfume. It's just a preferance. Me and my mom, have opposite personal preferance. She likes a soft fragrance and her favourite is elie saab perfume, while I do like a sweet perfume and at the moment my favourite is CH good girl. She doesn't like my perfume to be honest, but I told her, this is what I like. Unless my preferance is disturbing other people, please respect my choice 😊 it's only a perfume, I'm not hurting anyone. Then, she understand. I think it's okay to let people have different fragrance. The big no no is body odor 😮

What is your problem about smelling sexy? Are you afraid of the attention? Because its sexy, makes it ratchet? Some can be dangerous if you overspray of course, but I find people that wear floral fragrances to be very boring and actually not sexy at all..

Viva la Juicy is the bane of my existence. I have always hated it, haha. And SO MANY perfumes (even designer ones) have that distinctive Viva la Juicy “DNA.” It’s headache inducing to me, and it’s a big reason why I avoid so many gourmands these days, unfortunately! And while I personally don’t wear Angel or Black Opium, I have met people who actually rock them and smell amazing and not trashy at all. Individual body chemistry is an interesting thing sometimes!
