I wasted $100s on perfumes that don't last! Here are the best long-lasting, affordable alternatives

[@mightystrong5484]

I looove the oakcha brand and I'm soooo greatful that you introduced me to this house AND gave us a coupon code. Blessings to you and the little one ❤️🙏🏼

[@TheScented]

Thank you so much! I'm really happy to hear that you're enjoying Oakcha, they're definitely one of the best dupe brands out there for that price point :)

[@MrET114]

​@@TheScentedI'm going to be doing a fragrance review on HK Perfumes Dark Vanilla there version of Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille. It's the same bottle as Oakcha. This is going to be exclusive only for my channel here on KZbin. ✌️

[@va.j]

Girl .. words cannot express how I feel about Heaven Speak ! It’s just 🔥 and the projection is 🔥 and the sillage is 🔥 and the longevity is 🔥 and the smells is 🔥

[@jaja87]

Oakcha is by far my fav fragrance company. I never really collected fragrances before but I now have 12 Oakcha fragrances in my rotation

[@raquelkutsch5600]

How can the dupe brands like Oakcha and Dossier make similar scents that perform better and are clean? Why don’t the OGs do that! I’m befuddled…

[@melrose795]

I think the term "clean" is mis-leading..Some may not use pthalates anymore, which are problematic, but fragrance companies are not required to disclose what is actually in the fragrance, which are aroma chemicals, unless otherwise indicated that natural essential oils are used..parabens are another problematic ingredient.. A real 'clean' would be no chemicals at all...That's my understanding

[@aryanaaaaa_]

because the OG’s want you to be forced to over spray not just once but multiple times a day so you have to go out and buy another bottle. as far as the clean part, i’m sure it costs less to make non clean perfumes thus boosting their profit margin

[@raquelkutsch5600]

@@aryanaaaaa_ wow! We are getting ripped off!

[@Nuala357]

I like the Dossier versions of Black Opium and Libre better than the originals 😊🤷🏻‍♀️

[@elisacantos2421]

How about mimosa and caradom do you still buy it? It was one of your favorites.

[@underated17]

One of my fragrance curses is liking perfumes that are discontinued! I have to agree with you about the Peony Blush Suede being amazing! I also really like Wild Bluebell and the Orange Blossom.

[@breannacarels6479]

Yes. I have a few from Oakcha. Some are amazing and some really miss the mark for me… unfortunately I cannot get behind Gold Gem. I have it and have tried it so many times but it doesn’t smell like Bal D’Afrique I still prefer Al Rayhan from Attar Collection as my Bal D’Afrique dupe. My faves from Oakcha are: Melting Embers Desert Glass Sorcery Secret Duchess Ludic Moira I haven’t tried them all because for a few I’m happy with the Oil Perfumery version. I find Lira, Rose 31, Intoxicated, Angel’s Share, Tobacco Vanille, Wood Sage & Sea Salt, Oud Satin Mood all preform great as oils so I didn’t try the sprays from Oakcha. ❤

[@TheScented]

That's so interesting! I wonder if it's just a skin chemistry thing or perhaps a bad batch? For me Gold Gem smells virtually identical throughout the whole wearing but I've tried Al Rayhan and it goes very sharp on the dry down for me :( I absolutely love Ludic as well as sorcery 🥰

[@breannacarels6479]

@@TheScented I bought mine a few months ago. Maybe they improved it? It smells darker and almost pungent… I’ve tried using it around the house and get the same effect. I hope they improved it. Almost tempted to buy a new bottle lol… but that would be a little overboard lol

[@Esoteraeon]

Does Sorcery smell fresh/woodsy to you? Or sweet/dark/feminine

[@breannacarels6479]

@@Esoteraeon sweet, dark, a little sour and and tiny bit salty… it’s hard to describe. I really like it.

[@ANNIEALBA]

I have a lot of scents from Oakcha and I love them all. I just purchased Italian Cello, Secret Duchess, and Kent Garden. Love Athena it’s a powerhouse and lasts all day and Lady Diana, Sweet Addict, and the dupe of Tom Fords lost cherry is amazing!

[@ScentsibleHomeWithJamie]

Oakcha and Julianna’s Perfume are coming out with so many of the same fragrances. I’ve never tried Oakcha, but I’m curious as to which brand I should go with for future purchases, especially for the exact same inspired-by fragrance.

[@Stephanie_Sharer]

I have Gold Gem and while the opening isn''t the same, the dry down is dead on! I wouldn't know the difference. I did end up getting the OG Bal d'afrique anyway just because I love it so much and don't have longevity issues with it but I'm happy to have both. Next on my list are The Beekeeper (Jo Malone Nectarine blossom and Honey) and Sweet Addict (Love, Don't be Shy by Killian)!

[@kleineapfelblute2456]

It's so funny to see how Gold Gem is widely praised for its performance while my skin somehow seems to absorb it... it smells like lemonade on my skin and it doesn't last longer than 3 hours 😂

[@tsills931]

I just got my Oakcha femme Fatale. It’s a dupe of Good Girl it is amazing ! I haven’t tried it yet but the box when I opened it I could smell immediately. I think it’s a 1-2 spray tops! ❤ smell just like the original! Thank you Oakcha!

[@dearesttoles1914]

I love when you do videos of Oakcha fragrance I hope in the future to hear more about Oakcha perfumes I'm curious about the one that smells like Julia has a gun not a perfume also the 1 that they recently came out with body scent it's a dupe for molecule 01😊

[@charletfoster8917]

I ❤ my Dossier scents, so I will get the Oakcha scents too😊🙏🏿🙌🏿

[@melrose795]

I have the Oakcha Melting Embers, an inspiration of By the Fireplace..I really like it, and would repurchase it..I have never sampled the OG, so I don't know how accurate..Great performance and sillage, especially with 4 sprays on clothing..I have just also ordered Heaven Speak, I hope I like it, never smelled the OG either .

[@YvonneOnline]

Hi Yana, I hope this finds you well; as someone who is fairly new in the fragrance world, and clueless could you please please make a video about perfumes one can wear in all seasons? I’d really appreciate if you can consider that, and thank you for such fun content.

[@staciecook5217]

I agree a everyday scent! I do a vanilla

[@26laf]

Their dupe of Byredo Gypsy Water is really good, I think it's called Morning Rain.

[@ej5000]

I'll have to give oakcha another chance I want a gourmand that lasts on the skin for a long time since the designer ones I have don't

[@robinwhite4050]

I just got a travel size of Angel’s Share and was underwhelmed. It reminds me too much of the vanilla on Bouquet Ideale, and I have Vanestasy by Maison Tahite. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I like the scent, but it’s too close to some that I have, but I would buy the Oakcha dupe for sure!

[@claireb.349]

Such a weird coincidence that you did this updated oakcha video because I was wondering who you think does dupes better… Oakcha vs Julianna’s Perfumes? Just picked up Oakcha’s Madagascar Lab (Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka) and I really like it! Have you smelled the oakcha version?

[@JupiterN624]

I am in love with gold gem. I hate the name, but the fragrance is amazing. I get tons of compliments when I wear it. I also love torrid day and Ludic.

[@RicardoMendesTalks]

Just ordered the Heaven Speaks because your review and description 🤙🏽

[@CommonScents85]

How would you compare Oakcha and Julianna’s Perfume? Which to you is the better dupe house? I did buy JP dupe for MFK GFG and it’s pretty much spot on!! And it’s a love… but I feel it doesn’t last long on my skin 😢 And I know Oakcha has the same dupe so I’m wondering if Oakcha is better plus their prices are cheaper the JP.

[@missDiva305]

I love Torrid Day, Kalon, Heaven Speaks, and Melting Embers.

[@jenniferd6207]

Thank you! So helpful since I have a full bottle of Bal dafrique and would be happy to have an extra for layering on garments. Also have the discovery of MFK and live basically all of them. And finally I’ve discovered le labo rose 31 but only the small small bottle. Happy to have an alternative

[@Starrywhite]

First, I love your channel beautiful 🌷I just got Gold Gem and I am in disbelief....BDA is one of my all time favourites and God Gem smells like a mans cologne to me, not even 50% similar. I would say I have a good nose, I already have a dupe from DIvain that I would say is over 95 % the same and that I am so happy with but I thought Oakcha would be even better. I have them side by side including the original and they are just not similar. Would love to hear more opinions because I am so surprised by this. Just wanted to share my experience, we have such similar taste in fragrances. Much love!

[@TheScented]

That's extremely odd 🤔 I wonder if there are batch inconsistencies? That's the only explanation I can think of!

[@jasminenash5546]

Would love to hear your opinion on their Sweet Addict! And would you say perfume oils are generally better (longevity and sillage wise) compared to Oakcha?

[@BlessedMamaJacklynn]

Oh my goodness your perfume collection looks amazing I’m such a perfume junkie but as a mom of 4 I don’t get to splurge on perfume anymore 😔 is the Oakcha Athena good?

[@shirleykellison1049]

Does the Oakcha version of WS&SS capture all of the ambrette? I have a dupe of WS&SS from Dua, and the Dua version just doesn't have all the musky ambrette in it that the OG does. The Dua dupe smells more herbal and citrusy. It is not the same at all. I'm looking for a long-lasting dupe that captures the ambrette muskiness exactly like the OG.

[@littleprincess2319]
