🌟 About this video
I think I got up to number 40 in my previous video: part one of my 2023 perfume buys: Jan-Aug • Every Fragrance Buy In... and this is part two!
So here is every fragrance that's entered my perfume collection since September 2023 in a collective perfume haul. I began the year with the intention of sampling lots and buying bottles only rarely. I have been sampling a lot, but I also have bought a lot of fragrances still. There are 15 fragrances detailed in this video, although some of these perfumes have been competition wins and one was a very special gift from a subscriber.
So in this video, I'm going to talk through each perfume chronologically with the reasoning (or not...) behind me buying / obtaining each one, whether it was a considered purchase perhaps ticking off my wishlist, whether it was a blind buy or a gift and where they are now and what I think of them having lived with them for a while, are they loves or perfume regrets?
How about you? How did you do this year? Did you buy fewer bottles this year or more? Have you been sampling?

As someone who also owns No5, but it isn’t my style…spray it in the bath, it’s glorious! It lingers more delicately after drying off and then is pretty much a soft skin scent in the morning. It’s a great way to enjoy No5. I never thought I’d say this, but if I run out, I could see buying another bottle *just* for the bath. Haha! Who am I 😅

@dr.claire.perfume 8 ай бұрын
Thanks Tara! I'm definitely going to try that! It makes sense because it is that clean soapy luxurious vibe! I can see that it would be less strong and more subtle by doing that and your bath would smell amazing too. No5 makes me think of 80s bubble baths anyway so this all makes sense! 😂 Have a fab Christmas and new year 🎊 thanks for your support too! 🥰

IDK.... I pulled out my Chanel no5 today and completely fell in love with it. I've always had it in my collection one version or another ..but really never worn the newest reformulation. I've had much better versions than the current one. but it's still a very beautiful fragrance . Honestly, I just don't get old lady vibes from it anymore.. don't think ever did. I think, it just got labeled badly through certain influencers

@@marywendt7 I very happily wear mine, but only occasionally. I am happy to have a bottle and agree, it's quite often a safe influencer target for them to hate. I.e. if they hated a recent popular release, they'd get more negative reaction towards what they were saying I think.

I’ve bought so many fragrances this year - I shock myself sometimes when I look at my collection 😅 But I do use & love them all equally so that aspect of it doesn’t bother me 10:10 N°5 is gorgeous - the vintage Parfum and EDC especially 😍However I can appreciate the contemporary EDP - definitely has that retro bubble bath vibe. 17:20 Lucky you! The fragrance community as a whole are so generous ❤ 22:43 From the notes, you’d think it would be a bit more barbershoppy and pleasant. I don’t like blue fragrances either, that dihydromyrcenol and ambroxan combo makes me shudder 22:57 My first mention! Woohoo. I’m glad you managed to push past the bidders 😂❤ 27:25 Finally! I remember you saying on the same evening that I sent you the link to the Alien listing that you were trying to get in contact with the host.

Yes if they are ones that you enjoy and use, then I think this is a pretty harmless hobby 😊 I love wearing something different when I fancy and having some choice so I'm with you! I tend not to blind buy much now and I think my enjoyment of my collection is going up. I haven't smelt the vintage parfum and EDC versions, but I remember my mum having no5 EDT when I was little. I was truly astounded that someone wanted to send me that! I'm so grateful and still a bit in shock 😂 It is a little barbershop, I guess it's probably more than actually. But that weird texture was a complete no for me sadly. I am very very grateful! I tried that new bottle of Alien and it's perfect and original and smells stunning 😍 Sarah didn't visit England in the end, she instead posted me the fragrance. I have it and it's an interesting experience, definitely not something I would ever have chosen, but I think it must be calmer than the vintage version as it's not as loud as I suspected that it might be... I have worn it three times now, so we'll see. Thanks for watching this year and also thanks again for finding that Alien and for the chats 😊 have a fab Christmas too. 🥰

@@dr.claire.perfume I love blind buying - the rush is addictive 😂 but I know my limits. I hate to project or predict others’ opinions but if I’m being honest I don’t think you’d like the vintage parfum or EDC in the slightest 😂 seeing as you’re indifferent about the EDP at the moment. If you can, try the modern EDT and Parfum, and the L’Eau & Eau Premiere flankers. I feel as though they’d be more approachable. I love barbershop fragrances, but for me to like a blue fragrance, it has to be unique (most fail at this stage) and most importantly… pleasant to the nostrils. Maybe if it’s heavier on the barbershop side I would end up liking it! Glad to hear about Alien - as I said at that time I’d recently bought a vintage partial so I’m glad I decided to send you the listing. I surprise myself sometimes 🤣 You should leave it to macerate for a while and use up the rest of your other bottle. That usually makes a big difference, especially if it’s came all the way from Pakistan. And the cold has made some of my recent fragrance purchases smell less strong at least momentarily, so again giving it a chance to warm up and macerate will do it the world of good You’re totally welcome. I hope you have a fab Christmas also! 🎄

You're right! It is addictive, I felt like I was good at it to begin with, but as my collecting progressed, I got pickier I think 🤔 I still do it occasionally 🙊 With Chanel no5, I like both L'eau and Eau première, but I've only tried them in store a few times. I didn't try the modern EDT. I need to familiarise myself with fougères a little more. I feel like I mostly avoid the category. I didn't try them enough, the only one I have is a mini of Colonia really. I have left Orchid Soleil in the box for now. 😊 It will have a nice sleepy winter. Alien will come out the play for sure though 😉

I think No. 5 is for big and glamorous occasions, the aldehydes really evoke champagne bubbles, is a fragrance for a big elebration, I feel almost requires a gown. Something at night and glamorous in order to make it shine as it deserves. I feel any circumstance under that makes it feel dated unfortunatelly. But wearing it for a wedding at night lets say, makes you stand out. Saddly I don't have many ocassions to be able to make it justice.
@dr.claire.perfume
@dr.claire.perfume 8 ай бұрын
I do think it's of its time (more the 80s when it was reformulated than when it was launched), I wouldn't wear it regularly I don't think. It's a mood I guess. 😂 I agree it would suit a glamorous occasion. I think if it hadn't have been in a very inexpensive bundle with Coco, which was cheaper than I could find Coco alone, then I wouldn't have bought it, but I'm enjoying the experience so far. I do like the flankers too, like Eau première and L'eau. Thanks for watching and have a lovely Christmas 🎄

Happy holidays Claire, you found some great fragrances. I would like to draw your attention to Coco EDT, I find it easier to wear than the EDP. Also, No 5 EDT is the version from 1920's as is the extrait, the EDP is from the 80's, composed by Jacques Polge if memory serves, it's very beautiful too but slightly different, less icy than the original Ernest Beaux No 5. Thank you very much for your videos, I enjoy them.

Ah Chanel…when I first started sneaking sprays off my mother’s tray as a child, Chanel No. 5 and Cristalle were among her fragrances. We’re talking as a third grade child - going to school smelling of Chanel! As well as Giorgio Armani Beverly Hills, Halston, White Shoulders etc. 🤦‍♀️ Coco reminds me of my days clubbing in the eighties. There was a hard rock eighties hair band club in Baltimore called HAMMERJACKS that we would go to and Coco reminds me of some of those wild fun times. Definitely a trip down memory lane when I smell it. I have a very small bottle of it and wear it only occasionally. I definitely know what you mean when you speak about how your fragrance tastes have evolved. Throughout my 30’s I couldn’t bear to smell like Chanel but now my tastes have evolved and grown and their signature DNA is so special to me and I love wearing them. They exude class. I’ve always been curious about Kenzo Elephant. I’ll be on a no-buy throughout 2024 but will always continue to watch fragrance channels that speak of the MANY aspects of fragrance which I truly appreciate with you and your channel. See you in 2024! Oh - and if you ever decide to get rid of the Alien you snagged 🤚 - I’d definitely be interested!

I know! I used to sneak sprays of my mum's rive gauche and obviously I also even drank some of her Chanel no5 edt splash bottle 🤣 Coco just has that big shoulder pads vibe about it. It's a big fragrance but lovely and soft in the drydown. I have tried so many different Chanel fragrances this year and I think that's helped to increase my appreciation of them. It took me a while to get into Coco mademoiselle even to begin with! Good luck with your no buy! I didn't buy anything since that Alien, so that is already over a month ☺️ I hope I can continue until the new year. I'm pretty sure I will enjoy the Alien until the end, but if not, I will let you know. Thanks for watching throughout 2023 and I hope you have a fab Christmas and new year 🎊

Iv had a pretty quiet year. I've not bought anything at all "technically" in December. Terracotta is a very lovely one. I never liked these "beachy" ones but that's because I'd smelt cheap awful ones, which they still make, theh can even smell like conditioner... But Terracotta is one that definitely changed my mind. It's very nice. Lunar Dust is a very lovely one 😍 lovely calm and cool. Astarte Forbidden Bloom I absolutely love, it has them beachy tropical vibes but fruity and floral. The pear drops feel is mmm 😍. A great discovery of the year. I suspect I will be buying it next year 😉 I nearly fell over... You bought an Amouage 😱 Em will be dropping the Rojas soon 🤣. Love love Opus III. It's one of the most elegant fragrances I've ever sniffed. Possibly the poshest bed scent ever. Omg I'm traumatised... I've watched this video a few times now there was a Paradoxe advert... Emma Watson? Noooo why? How? I hope they paid her very very very well. Coco oh yes 😍 not an everyday one but definitely very wow 😍. You've got as much as me in there. If u ever wanted to unload ur No. 5 I know someone who'd buy that off u 😉. It is again a once in a while one but gorgeous. My bottle from my mum... 🙄 Yea let's just say it doesn't hit the spot 😅.. The Elephant, well I look forward to sniffing it. I went and got Fate to compliment my Coco. I'm glad you got it eventually. You had wanted it for a long time. Yes you've wanted Rouge for a long time. Great with a lippy too. It is a lovely fragrance actually I think that will really suit you. And who doesn't love tuberose Lizzie 😉 😂 Yes your TF we all know you love that one. The community is very lovely. It probably was quicker and cheaper for Fatima flying over than it was from Royal Fail. Yes so many lovely folks. Hmm the Miller Harris, I do love some alot. But because they can be so vivid sometimes I can struggle with them. They all sound quite pleasant. A hot summers day? Good luck Claire 🙄. I'm not sure I'd love the last one. I've not always had the best of luck with the Kenzos I've tried. I'll leave it at that. There have been a couple tho... So not one of them houses that's a no. Well... The alien is very very exciting. Ty is a top chap, his love of things like Angel then tempts me to like it more. This has to be the greatest find and buy in all of fragcom this year. And yes you can tell the nerves and excitement from you. I mean we need a special video 😉. Bandit i do look forward to your review of it. I will need to do this video again. Probably Feb. I think I filmed my last one in July and didn't put it up till October probably 😂. Very merry Xmas to one of my favourite ever KZbinrs. Thank you Sam 😊 and making us wait so long for a video is mean

I look forward to seeing in your video 😊 Yes Terracotta is gorgeous, I'd been wanting that ages, thank you for letting me try yours. Yes! Astarte is mmm, I'm going to continue to call it that 😂 I can't wait to wear it in the spring and summer. Lunar Dust has had a lot of love from me so far. 😂 Well I just have to be a bougie as you with you Gris Dior in bed. 🤷‍♀️ Actually that Amouage was a bargain, £40 😱 I would give you the Chanel, the bundle of the two was £25... It was so much cheaper than just buying Coco, I found that weird, I guess because both are testers and don't have lids so they were hard to sell?! But yes, I've been enjoying no5 much more than I ever imagined! I really like L'elephant! It's a special one 😊 I hope you like it too. I was so shocked when I got the bottle of Orchid Soleil from Fatima, I didn't expect it to be so full. I am very grateful. I can't predict your reaction to those miller Harris, my bet would be it would be a big no for the last one, but the other two, I'm still not sure. Flower L'elixir will be decluttered, it's just quite plasticky to begin with and I get that could be intentional but I'm not keen... Finding that Alien (and confirming it was real) was definitely one of the perfume moments of the year. 💜 You too, I love watching your videos 😊 and yes, I'm very grateful to Sam for making us aware of each other. Thank you for all of the samples too and merry Christmas. 🥰

Hi Claire! I adore Coco! I’m totally smitten!😊 I haven’t tried No. 5. I don’t anticipate trying it either 😂 I recently received a sample of Bouquet Ideale when I purchased another fragrance on Mercari. It was so unexpectedly beautiful! I’ll never pay Xerjoff prices, but I’m happy I experienced it! I love a lot of vintage fragrances. Ysatis, Amarige, Cinnabar etc. I actually love many types of perfumes. I wear whatever I’m in the mood for regardless of season. Today’s fragrance is Elie Saab Girl of Now. I love L’Interdit Rouge. I recently bought a vintage quarter ounce of Samsara. I’m excited! I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend! 💛 Merry Christmas!🎄

Hi Claire, awesome video! I love vintage scents. I talk about the original Coco all the time on my channel. I prefer the eau de toilette, it’s much more wearable than the EdP while it’s still quintessentially Coco. I can’t believe I haven’t tried Kenzo L’Elephant given that I love spicy amber orientals. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Bandit. I’m not sure if I like it and I have lots of challenging vintage fragrances. It’s a dark animalic chypre scent. I’ve only got a sample.

⁠​⁠@@dr.claire.perfumeThat’s very kind of you, thank you!😊 I’m glad that you reminded me of L’Elephant. I went ahead and ordered a sample of it because I’ve been on a massive spice kick lately. I’ve been using and abusing my Youth Dew, Dolce Vita, Jean Louis Scherrer, as well as Coco… and I’m awaiting Cinnabar in the mail. The fact that you wore Bandit three times says a lot. I had Cabochard at one point. Like Bandit it’s a pungent leathery mossy earthy chypre, aromatic and woody, no sweetness whatsoever. Then there’s also Azurée from Estee Lauder. I don’t need more than one such scent in my collection. I’m curious. Will you be keeping your Bandit?

Yes Flower L'elixir was a bit of a let down, I don't think it will stay in my collection too long, I haven't reached for it, the plastic put me right off... Wow, that Alien! What a journey! I was so happy when I first got it and then I was in doubt over whether it was authentic but I so wanted it to be that I couldn't open it for a few days, I had to psyche myself up for the potential disappointment 😂 but no! It was the real deal and it's gorgeous! Thanks for watching over 2023, I really appreciate it and yes merry Christmas and a happy new year too 🥰

Regarding Miller Harris - I’ve bought two Miller Harris fragrances in the past and I struggle with both, just wondered if you had tried either of these and if so what you think of them? Le Pamplemousse - I love grapefruit but this is too bitter for me so I gave it to my husband, he quite likes it but I find it hard to tolerate on him too !! 😅 The second one is ‘Dance amongst the Lace’ - this I need to retry in boiling hot weather as the mint opener is just too minty in my opinion. I’m wondering if the Miller Harris brand is not for me 😂 Thanks for a great video as always xx

I've not tried either of the two that you have but I've been tempted by them in TKMaxx! I've noticed that Miller Harris seem to love mint and also blackcurrant (leaves), at least with their older scents. I think the better ones tend to be the older ones. But yes, I've certainly disliked a lot of the ones that I've tried but there are loves too! I hope you have a fab Christmas and thanks for watching this year, I appreciate it 🥰

Merry Christmas Claire. In summer now here in South Australia. On a really hot day, Tea Tonique is one of my go to’s as well as the Hermes Jardin line. Otherwise Terracotta or a fig/coconut fragrance are on rotation. Looking forward to more great content from you in the new year. You are definitely one of the best😃🇦🇺

Wow, I bet it is scorching, I watch a few people in Australia, not perfume, but in Melbourne and Perth not South Australia and they seem like they are roasting! I can't wait to try Tea Tonique on a hot day and yes that Hermès line is perfect too ☺️ thanks for watching throughout 2023, I really appreciate it, I think it would be hard to do this without as much interaction and talking to people from all over ☺️ have a fab Christmas and new year 🎊

I bought 30ml of Coco this year as well. Your comment about Coco made me laugh Claire as I used the same thought process😂.

Yes... How often will I wear this plus this is super strong = only a small volume is necessary. 😂 Thanks so much for watching this year, I appreciate it!

Hi Claire 😊 I absolutely love the Terracotta bottle! And you got it at a great price, wow 😮🎉 Coco in the air is really pretty and soft…depending on how it’s sprayed, of course 😂 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎆🎊

Oh yes! Terracotta is a stunner and I agree, Coco is soft and powdery in the drydown and it's certainly not one to overspray! 😂 Have a fabulous Christmas and new year 🎊 thanks for watching 🥰
