If I Kept Only Ten Perfumes Out of My 700 Perfumes

[@GretaBeth]

Sorry the music volume is a bit louder than I intended 🙈 Perfumes, links and discount codes are in the description box. What types of fragrances are you into this year?

[@bettybbags]

My Top 10, subject to change 😂 : Vanagloria Charming California Cognac 66 Elegante Schwann Black Tie Amber Aoud Candy Aoud Delina Exclusif Gourmand Coquin Fille en Aiguilles

[@bettybbags]

I just ordered several from your list, great to see some new ones for me

[@dw6418]

Wow I have like 13 perfumes and 12 body sprays and it stresses me out that I don’t use them all. I feel like the money is wasted if they all don’t get used regularly and I’m also afraid some may go bad before they are used up 🤷🏻‍♀️ I enjoy watching people who don’t care about those things like I do 😊

[@b25mech]

700 perfumes? Dang! I’m thrilled to have 5. 😂

[@lydiarosepb454]

Absolutely love your KZbin channel and the way you describe perfumes! Always trust your judgement! 😍🥰💕

[@GretaBeth]

Thank you so much!

[@nigelwilliams8537]

As an older man, I'm wondering if Sora Dora's Orchidee Rouge is just too sweet to be unisex? I adore Gladiator, Mandorle, Gladiator and Kamel Oud (all the brilliant creations of Sora Dora's three brilliant, female parfumiers) and I'd unhesitatingly categorise all four of those fragrances as Masculine/Unisex but I'm just not certain that guys can wear Orchidee Rouge - or am I just being a stereotypically, insecure male? What do others think? Love the reviews Greta; so incisive, analytical and eloquent - keep 'em coming!

[@GretaBeth]

For what it’s worth, I value Sebastian’s (The Perfume Guy) male opinion and it’s his favorite 😃 I think Vanuatu is SO overlooked for men!

[@nigelwilliams8537]

Sorry, the second reference to "Gladiator" should have been to "Vanawuatu"; must be my age!!

[@nigelwilliams8537]

@@GretaBeth Thank you for sharing Sebastian's opinion which, as with yours, I really value. The Fragrantica stats also overwhelmingly confirm that Orchidee Rouge is a true Unisex fragrance and maybe it's because of its androgynous qualities that I love it so.

[@friedagran]

Hi Greta, I just found Note Vanillee at a great price on a reputable site. Do you think it is a safe blind buy for someone who loves all kinds of vanillas including spicy and boozy? Thank u!

[@GretaBeth]

It’s an easy love! My ride or die vanilla. Micaleff is affordable on their own site and you can stack sales with my code. Grey sites don’t offer deals. It’s the same price with old stock.

[@friedagran]

@@GretaBeth thank you

[@SharidaM]

OMG.... how DID you wittle the list down lol???? I feel like I need to just buy all 10 because the MUST be amazing!!

[@GretaBeth]

It’s a terrible task for someone fickle like me 😭 I also don’t think I did too well at ONLY mentioning ten 😂😂

[@QuynhNguyen-qe3qi]

Happy Lunar new year Greta❤😘 I love this type of video, I would love to see one of this top 10 every few months🙏, say change of mind/seasonal top 10. We are fickle human and is allowed to change our mind as time lapses🤪 From this list, I am really interested in getting my hands on memories and orchidee rouge, maybe next month as I've blown my budget this month already😅

[@GretaBeth]

Ohh I'm the face of fickle 😂

[@chrisab3217]

Greta 😍, you stress about it bc in reality it would truly be impossible to really drop to 10 , I have a tiny collection and I'm not sure I could pick only 10 lol but it's always fun to hear what you are loving and I'm happy to hear HOS is still producing top loves for you 💝💝 I'm excited to see what 2023 brings but still have an ongoing list from 2022 to catch up on 💲💲😍

[@GretaBeth]

So true! And yes HOS killed it this year for me!

[@chrisab3217]

@@GretaBeth I'm wondering if there will be more avatar fragrances? I think it might be time to do a house review for HOS , I think you have everything from the fem line 💝💝

[@GretaBeth]

There’s another Harry Potter fragrance coming (the scent of the candle), but I don’t know about avatar. They are SUPER tight lipped because Warner Bros controls it all.

[@Mayflowers_]

I'm 19, and I definitely don't have the money to buy these perfumes, but I love hearing you talk!

[@GretaBeth]

Ohhh 19 was a tough year for my wallet 😫🥹 I will try to feature some more affordable fragrances I love and never hear about 😃

[@AlisaAlisa12394]

@Yessy try buying small decants :)

[@tmonique11]

There are sites where you can buy decants and samples to see what you are really drawn to before investing in these expensive niche fragrances. Also, i always check the trusted discount sites before buying in dept stores. Follow them on IG too bc they often have 20-30% off coupon codes. Check out Scentbird, Scents Gift, Lucky Scent, So Avant Garde (currently have 30% off with code "LOVE30", and Jomashop.

[@MKK-wg7fz]

@@GretaBeth yes small decants- I just found a niche perfume store near me that will decant $5 samples of $300 perfumes! 😊

[@GretaBeth]

I sell decants of my collection too. You can always DM me or email me ☺️

[@DramaticDylan]

I absolutely adore you Greta! So incredibly descriptive, playful and humble!

[@georgianapetreaa]

Oh I love Sora Dora fragrances, they are unique, niche, and very very good😍

[@pinkiemtengenya6744]

Whooo, I really don’t know how you managed to do that👏👏😍😍. Dama Bianca is a really pretty lady scent😍😍. Thank you for introducing the Micaleff calendar cos I finally got my nose on Note Vanilee, it’s gorgeous😍😍. I would love to get my nose on Sora Dora fragrances🤔🤔. Looking forward to your next video👌👌. Stay gorgeous🥰🥰.

[@GretaBeth]

Their calendar was the Best Buy of the year! It's still available for $200 instead of sale price of $150. After my code GRETA10 its still a deal!

[@sibyl333]

Beautiful pronunciation on Note Vanillée! I am wearing this today haha- it's so good. I am actually wearing the Nectar from my Advent calendar though I do already have the OG bottle. I can't tell the difference.. Maybe you pronouncing correctly the name will trickle out to fragcom!!

[@GretaBeth]

The nectar is just higher oil % so it lasts longer and projects (evaporates) less. They smell the same. 🙏🏼thank you for helping with pronunciation. I think it will catch on a bit 😉 So does Orchidee follow the same rule in Orchidee Rouge? I’m sure I’m saying that wrong too 🙈

[@revenge0lobster]

It was so satisfying to hear it pronounced correctly for once!! Orchidée also follows the same rule. The “é” is always pronounced as “ay” like in “hay.” The regular e after that is silent and not pronounced. So, it would be pronounced “or-key-day.” 😁

[@GretaBeth]

😘💕 Thank You for helping me!

[@AlisaAlisa12394]

Hi, Greta! I love your channel and watch your videos all the time. Your videos are great but I often struggle trying to find names/talking points on specific perfumes from your list. Could you please add time stamps and full names of the perfumes you’re discussing? This would help a lot! :)

[@GretaBeth]

Thank you so much! All the names are in the description box and on the screen.

[@AlisaAlisa12394]

@@GretaBeth Yes, but can you please put time stamps next to them like the other perfume reviewers so that it’s easier to find where you’re talking about those specific perfumes? This would be very very helpful! :)

[@louisefisher9959]

If looking for something specific running through transcript is very helpful 🥰

[@MargaretTolliver]

I actually broke Memories, to be honest I wasn’t a fan too cherry tobacco. I think if I’d had it longer I might’ve grown to like it! I know not to summarily dismiss a fragrance. I’ve been so happily surprised by coming back a month or longer! I feel special I have most of these! Great video. I love when you turn your head ever so gently to sniff a fragrance! Have a great weekend!

[@GretaBeth]

Timing can be everything in a fragrance. I understand. Thank you Margaret! Enjoy your weekend 😃

I like the shirt you are wearing. It looks to be a Hermes print. Black and gold together are combinations I like. I had Kane Clasical Past Time black carpet with a gold design put down in the hallway and a bedroom.

I’ve got two dogs that leave blond hair everywhere. Black carpet gives me anxiety 😂🤣 but it sounds gorgeous with a gold pattern 🌟

[@timw8228]

@@GretaBeth When COVID started someone dumped a cat so he friended me. When ever I took my mother to the Dr. I had the door to the garage open and garage door open. He'd come inside and down the basement stairs he would go. Down there is a home theater with red carpet. I'd have to go hunt him down. He'd claw at the carpet and freak me out. My sister finally took him. Recently I had another one, female Calico around Christmas. I'm surprised she didn't freeze to death when it was so cold. I finally caught her and my sister took her. Vet said she was about a year old. I don't know why people dump animals.

[@GretaBeth]

That comment is both hysterical and sad. I can see you freaking out over the clawing. Cats can be little rascals 😂 Red Carpet… of course! 😂 🎥 🍿 I have a soft spot for animals too. It seems your sister is going to be the “cat lady” soon 😂

[@denisesheffield481]

Love your outfit and earrings! I have Dama Bianca, Latin Lover and Benevolence out of your picks. Thanks for sharing will check out Cacao Porcelena.

Thank you! The earrings were a splurge that seem to go with everything, so turned out to be an excellent buy ☺️☀️🤍💕

[@lyndsaypascoe1531]

I am low key shocked that Minnie didn’t make the list!! But it is so appreciated and refreshing that your list includes fragrances that are not “bandwagon” scents. I feel like I need them all 🫣🥰❤️

[@GretaBeth]

I mentioned her for that reason. I was trying to be forward thinking. She really is a favorite of mi e, and I’ve bought a back up for a couple of fragrances, Minnie being one. She’s half gone!

[@bettybbags]

Lots of new ones for me that I've never tried, so many surprises here! Off topic, I know how much you love Iris dragees from your past videos, and I'm trying to find out if Place Venome in Brussels will have Le Plus Beau Jour in stock (candied jordon almond scent, guerlain's wedding scent). Place Venome is such a gold mine, I had been waiting for gourmand coquin for 4 months and was able to order it just today. I asked if they also carried other discontinued guerlains and to my amazement, they said Baiser de Russie and Mon Precieux Nectar are arriving in a few weeks!!! so fingers crossed that they might also carry Le Plus Beau Jour. I have the originals of Mon Precieux and Le Plus Beau Jour but they are evaporating faster than I can use them so of course I need backups 😍😍

[@bettybbags]

Also they confirmed that Gourmand Coquin has been reformulated, which is fine - I have the original so will be able to compare but I'm sure I will love both 🥰

[@GretaBeth]

Oh noooo!!!!!! 🙈 I had a feeling it would be different. I e been fine with Dappers. I have so many chocolate fragrances I can’t Justice the hint and the price. I have a decant of the OG

[@bettybbags]

@@GretaBeth I just ordered a decant of The Gate, Memories and used your code to order Epico Vanis Charnel off LuckyScent and Sora Dora Orchidee Rouge. TY! Anything on your Top 10 for Life, even for a moment, must be good given your collection!

Hi Greta❣Nice list, though it really must be close to impossible to choose from your abundantly amazing collection😍🤩I've been wearing and craving Roses Vanille lately. I have Nobile 1942 Perdizione coming for my LDBS craving and my very first cupcake, Cream Chiffon🧁*I honestly didn't even notice the mucic...Can you believe Dama Bianca didn't work for me??!! I smelled like straight up whiskey for the first few hours & then a soury vanilla, bad boozy scent. I feel like the only one it doesn't smell beautiful on😢 I also had to send TF Santal Blush back because I only smelled of hamster cage🤢I can't tell if it's the sandalwood or the cedar in some frags that pulls that way on me because I have frags with both notes that work very well??? I'd guess it's the cedar but it's in other ones and works on me. Any thoughts/help? It was in MM Lost Alice on me too😭

[@GretaBeth]

I totally get the hamster cage thing! I get that with Creed Royal Princess Oud. It smells like a cedar closet on me. Try spraying your clothes instead of skin with a fragrance that doesn’t work with your chemistry that you otherwise love 😉💕 Dama Bianca is so pretty.
