@andileigh60343 жыл бұрын
Our skin types have very little to do with the longevity, but has become a common excuse since the IFRA (International Fragrance Regulatory Agency) has ruined fragrance by banning the ingredients that give fragrance its staying power and sillage. They are keeping it hush hush and continuing to pump out overpriced fragrances that are subpar quality. What is the point of a fragrance that doesn’t smell past a few minutes and who wants to have to douse their clothing in order to smell their perfume. Consumers will fall for anything

Alien = Welch's Grape Juice on my skin while Alien edt = carbonated grape soda. For some reason they both come off completely inelegant and about as unsexy as can be. However, Alien Eau Extraordinaire has a hint of that grapey jasmine in the OG but it's freshened by citrus and a touch of tea which really compliments my chemistry. I also find that the Arden Tea fragrances, while boring, also compliment my chemistry. They are safe enough to wear to the gym, yet, I get compliments on them even after I no longer smell them on myself. I don't wear them that often because I tend to wear perfume for myself and I want to be able to smell it. But it's also nice to have some super safe, easy reaches in my collection that are subtle but pleasing to those around me - even the fragrance phobes.

I agree with your comments about most of the perfumes. However I finished a bottle of black opium. Did get positive comments on it. I bought it for the coffee note. I can smell it on other people too, so I think it's decent lasting, maybe not long enough for the price, but these days it often goes on offer in the UK. Alein fusion, I love the smell and the solar note, love it. I did feel it performed like an EDT until my daughter said many hours of me wearing it, what's that perfume your wearing its amazing, which she never says . So I think it has it's own category for me. I think its the solar note that does it. Very informative video though.

Cześć Paulina! Great video, I’m new to your channel. I love vanilla musks & in general gourmands. I can get away with a bit of patchouli, (eg Flowerbomb, which does last on me) but generally not florals. For warmer - deeper ones like D&G The One, but a little heavy. Si dry down on me is migraine inducing, smells nothing like what is does on everyone else. Had to give my $250 bottle to my mum. This video was great because I’ve felt that way about Black Opium for a while, (& Paco Rabane) next one I’m tossing up La Vie Este Belle, Libre, or Tiffany’s. Any other suggestions for that price point? On my skin, people stop me in the street over Vanilla / Musk. Prada Candy is a great scent for me, but lasts 5 min 😔 ❤ 🇵🇱 🇦🇺

I am wearing Alien Fusion today, and after 9 hours it’s still very present and smells amazing!

Alien Fusion is a bomb on me and I adore the scent.

Must be a skin thing since both Black Opium and Alien Fusion last and project quite well on me. I also don’t find the longevity of White Tea bad at all considering it’s a fresh, citrusy fragrance ☺️

Have you tried Anna Sui perfumes ? They are cheap, and I thought about buying some because I love the aesthetic of the brand

Jaap totally agree on Boss perfume the scent disappears after 10min 😅 for that reason I don’t use it
