Is Oakcha Worth It? - Part 2 | Following Up After Wearing the Fragrances all Month!

[@Ally_Perfume]

I was WAITING for part 2 - & let me tell you, it did not disappoint! I feel like these days creators are constantly giving false reviews for the benefit of PR or more social media reach. You are one of the only creators I've come across that actually gives an honest & genuine approach to reviews. Your excitement and pure joy is contagious and I hope you know that you've made a lot of people's Monday's start off awesome! I look forward to your uploads & I'm excited to see more! Thank you for such a wonderfully created video & thank you for your honesty!

[@ShesBasically]

Listen Miss Ally! If you continue to gas me up like this we will have to become best friends 😆 I reallyyyy appreciate your comment, you have no idea! I truly enjoy creating but I know that my style is a little ✨unpolished✨ which isn't for everyone (or every brand)! I actually started taking KZbin more serious after feeling like IG was getting a little TOO aesthetic focused so it feels good to be here and actually resonate with people! Thank you so much for watching & engaging 💕

[@heavenj7]

This!! Exactly! That’s why sadly I don’t do TikTok 😢

[@Ayanaxox2]

I love Oakcha's fragrances and the ones you talk about in the video. And the newer lighter colored bottles, if held up to the light you can see how much is remaining in the bottle😊

[@ShesBasically]

Yess, it's nice to be able to track how much is remaining! Thanks for watching 💕

[@knackattack5909]

I just received my first order. I got Torrid Day (Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille) which I love so much and Italian Cello (Xerjoff Cass Lira) and I love that one as well. I still smelled both on my clothes the day after. When I first sprayed Italian Cello it had a yuck factor that I don’t know how to explain but within 5 minutes it started to smell so yummy in a mature way. Torrid Day has its own heavenly smell. A tip I learned is to make sure you use an unscented lotion before applying perfume and it helps with longevity. Scent won’t last as long in dry skin. Needless to say, I am in love and will be wearing both of these all winter.

[@ShesBasically]

Italian Cello really seems to be the crowd fave! Which lotion do you recommend? I've been using a fragrance free body oil from Palmers.

[@kellykellz974]

Made my first Oakcha purchases because of you. Thanks for the update. I'm now subscribed

[@ShesBasically]

Thank you for watching & subscribing! 💕

[@qpMedley]

What a great update video! I have an Oakcha order that's waiting on shipping (😭), so I keep looking at others' reviews. We have similar scent preferences, although you like gourmand a little more than me. As long as Sweet Addict is as good as everyone says, I'll be happy!

[@ShesBasically]

Thanks so much for tuning into both videos! I hope you enjoy your order!!

[@BlendedBarbieDoll]

I have several of the same ones Sweet Addict Italian Cello -my absolute favorite Sweven Sarang Are my top 4 and I’m about to order a few more …I have to pick up The Princess dupe

[@ShesBasically]

Ooo I'll look into Sarang. I fell so in love with Italian Cello which is funny because I didn't even pick it out 😆

[@melenahoward]

I knew I’d like you when I heard “…not using robot oranges.” That was great. Loved your video. Soooo helpful.

[@ShesBasically]

😆 Thank you for watching! So how did you like your order?

[@melenahoward]

[@richardkelly19]

Good honest review. Still contemplating on my first order

[@ShesBasically]

Thank you, I appreciate you watching! Lots of greta info & experiences in the comments.

[@brennagarza7777]

Love how detailed your review is! You really focused on the quality of the product, and i appreciate that. I saw the girl's video talking about the lack of bad reviews on Oakcha, but i really didn't see that on the website. Most of the fragrances I clicked on had both good and bad reviews. Maybe they changed something 🤷‍♀️ anyways, I'm excited to get my sample set!

[@ShesBasically]

Thank you for watching!

[@rachelolson6755]

I think you would love Khamrah by Lattafa! It's similar to Killian Angels Share, it lasts forever, and the packaging is gorgeous

[@ShesBasically]

Omg I just added this to my Amazon cart. Thank you!

[@laurenschmitt451]

It's so good!

[@bethford6884]

I just ordered my first order with Oakcha last night. I hope I like them too.

[@ShesBasically]

Thanks for watching! Have a had a chance to test out your picks?

[@andreaross6459]

I tried a few scents from oakcha. I ordered the sample set, not the same scents they are offering now. I really enjoyed some of them. I must say sweet addict didnt smell good on me. I loved the tobacco vanille dupe, sorcery, and athena. Sweven was ok, ruhe was ok too. I want to try a few more scents. I tried dossier first and was not impressed. Oakcha is better quality.

[@ShesBasically]

Definitely seems to be mixed review depending on what people like. Thanks for sharing your list. I think I'll try the tobacco vanille one!

[@melenahoward]

I got the Italian cello based on your review and I LOVE it. I also love sweet addict and secret duchess. I have Killians love don’t be shy and Dalina Oriana. as well as ciao the dude for love don’t be shy and I love them all I eventually hope to get creed Carmina. I also love liquid imagers Blanche bete. I would like to try Killian Sunkissed as well. Miss girl was nice but I won’t get it again. To me the miss girl smells more like lost cherry than 540. Yes, that color is so juicy and pretty. I also agree with your review. Very articulate and accurate.

[@ShesBasically]

Do you want to know something interesting? I tried Miss Girl again. Very tart cherry on the skin. I sprayed it on while I was standing in my closet. The next day, my closet smelled exactly like 540! So crazy that it gives cherry on the skin and 540 in the air lol. I’m going to check out the others that you mentioned!

[@melenahoward]

@@ShesBasically I need to try this. Thanks for the tip😍

[@CertifiedGrownWomen]

I like the smell when first sprayed however an hour later the scent didn’t last long

[@ArtOfTheUnquietGrave]

Thank you so much for your inital in depth review, and for this great follow-up! I just subscribed to your channel and love your personality. The "robot oranges" comment cracked me up!

[@ShesBasically]

Thank you!! 😆💕

[@_Brandi]

Running to buy Italian cello! My husband loves lemon cake 😂

[@ShesBasically]

I have been wearing it daily!! I was in Hermes smelling their fragrances for the first time and this one caught my interest: www.hermes.com/us/en/product/eau-de-citron-noir-eau-de-cologne-V40408/ It has a nice unisex lemon vibe.

[@mickeyremich3039]

I have Lira and it’s just so addictive and different - I will buy the Oakcha version and compare directly between the two. If it is similar enough but not perfect could use the Oakcha to extend (I sometimes put unscented lotion in my hand and then spray perfume in that and apply on legs.

[@MissSandralicious]

Smelling synthetic - means there’s a stank mixed in with the original smell .. whereas the original smell has a good fresh yummy smell to it.. Sweet Addict to me has a stank to it and I describe it as a dusty smell and almost like a perfume from Walmart .. but to each their own.. my fave is Senora it’s a soapy turn on the Chanel Coco Mademoiselle.. ❤

[@christopherclayton7390]

Lmao it cracked me up when you talked to miss girl bottle 😂😂😂 great video!

[@ShesBasically]

😆🫶🏽 Thanks for watching!

[@ShesBasically]

Thank you so much!!

[@msnaijadiva]

Try Dua Fragrances Princeless princess.... 10/10 highly recommend and I think you'll like that one better. The opening might not be the same but after a few minutes of letting it air out it smells the same. It also costs a little more than oakcha but in my opinion it's a better dupe.

[@ShesBasically]

Adding to cart! Thank you!!

[@nataliaj1299]

Duas dupe smells horrible at first but after mascerating for 2-3 months it smells amazing. I’ve been eyeing their site to get the full size

[@b3d4zzl3R]

Robot oranges 😂 :) im thinking about getting oakcha and found your video. Thank you for the how many sprays you use. Thank you lots

[@ShesBasically]

😆 Glad it was helpful!

[@melrose795]

Hi! How did these perform? Long lasting? Did they have good projection/sillage? Not sure I heard your thought on this and it would be very helpful, thanks!❤

[@ShesBasically]

Thanks so much for watching! In my non-expert opinion (😆), the last for an average time on skin - maybe about six hours. But they were very long lasting on clothing. For projection I will say Italian Cello gets me lots of compliments from strangers passing by!

[@melrose795]

Thank you, very helpful!❤

[@mushroom2493]

I was looking for an honest opinion on Praise, thanks for the video!!

[@ShesBasically]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching 💕

[@girlystuffbeautybuff3689]

I am looking for some new perfumes. My favorite go to is pink sugar. I have been wearing it forever. I keep seeing that it is a you g scent and I am 48 but I really like sweet perfumes, anything coconut, sugary, vanilla scents. I guess I'm young at heart not in years😂😂 anyway do these perfumes last? I spray a lot of pink sugar but it lasts forever. I followed because it sounds like we have the same opinion on scents. Thanks for the post!!

[@ShesBasically]

Hey! For perspective my mom is in her late 50’s and I’m 35 and we both love Pink Sugar 😆 Team young at heart for sure! The scents last super long on my clothes and I get about six hours on the skin in reasonable temps! Thanks for subscribing 💕

[@Kennedy4295]

DUA has an exact dupe for Princess but longer lasting I swear it. I don’t recommend many of the other DUA it’s very hit or miss.

[@ShesBasically]

Thank you, I'll look into DUA!

[@gigilongtime2891]

Hey nice review I like them all miss girl is one of my favorites I like the tart cherry I’m an older woman and it works for me but that’s the beauty of everyone being different I just came across these fragrances last month and bought five bottles they were having twenty percent off and free shipping I think it was worth it for me I layer these with my body mists and perfumes and it works out well, tfs

[@ShesBasically]

Thanks for watching!

[@made.by.markia]

Bae-o-meter 😂😂 another video. Thanks for sharing!

[@ShesBasically]

The Bae-O-Meter will be my new standard for all fragrances 😆 Thanks for watching!

[@gaylemayberry8104]

Just what i needed!! I don't care for dossier but i love my oakcha perfume! But idk if Alt is as good?

I haven’t tried Alt yet but I will share if I do!

Hi I just ordered the sweet addict what’s the difference between the black bottle and the pink one I’m new to this line love your video ❤

[@katherinejacynthe5738]

i think all 30 ml comes i black , but if you see a color bottle on the website its for the 50ml

[@JulesDior]

@@katherinejacynthe5738 thanks received mine recently and I have to say I hated it it has a weird smell and than literally disappeared I got it off Poshmark so who knows or maybe a bad batch I can’t even describe what the note is that I pick up (I’m not very good at that ) but it’s a no for me with this brand !) so goes the search for a affordable option for LDBS lol thanks for your reply lovely 🥰

[@ShesBasically]

Sorry your order didn't work out! There are a few comments on this thread that give other LDBS alternatives!

[@JulesDior]

@@ShesBasically yeah I have been looking at some of them I may have to just bite the bullet and get the OG it’s such a l my lovely fragrance take care happy holidays!!

[@ShesBasically]

@@JulesDior It really is! Looks like Sephora has a mini Killian discovery set as well. Happy holidays to you too!

[@Margarin3]

how is the longevity? i really want to buy some but i havent seen anyone say anything about it!

[@ShesBasically]

I’ve use the brand consistently for the last year and I love the longevity of Oakcha. On skin I get about 4-6 hours (I live in Orlando where it’s always hot and humid for context) but on clothes I can smell the fragrances for days.

[@Margarin3]

@@ShesBasically Thanks so much! i got their perfume Ruhe and i love it sooo much

[@bernicejones685]

things smells different on different people it’s all about your hygiene and body chemistry I would say I just ordered praise the perfume hope I like it but my fav and head turners are sweet addict,secret duches,love in Rome and sinful I always get compliments on those hope to see what the other do

[@ShesBasically]

It seems like we like similar fragrances! I haven't tried Love in Rome so I will check that out next.

[@KeelyB2318]

I really wanted to like sweet addict but all I could smell is the pepper. I really wish I could smell the sweetness in the fragrance.

[@ShesBasically]

Ugh that sucks.I saw a couple other alternatives mentioned in the comments here.

[@RealMexFoodShouldntGiveUDrrhea]

9:30 Okay, I’m subbed. I was being super skeptical about the no negative/ very few reviews so I didn’t purchase perfumes with them . I might check them out in the future though because I cannot be spending so much on perfumes even though I really like smelling good. I need quality stuff.

[@AS-bq7sc]

They’re not scammy, but the perfumes are skin scents

[@rosedolch8637]

I see a couple negative reviews.. Most all postive but they dont delete negative reviews..

[@lizalaughz]

It’s weird because Praise on me doesn’t have a strawberry note at all which was the reason why I purchased it. It comes off more of a caramel/chocolate smell on me. Even in the beginning. So so weird. A lil disappointed. Hopefully it will grow on me. I ended up giving Sweet Addict to my mom because it did smelled very fake on me. I didn’t smell any marshmallow. I am still trying out Miss Girl. I think the only issue I have with all of these is that they weren’t as long lasting as everyone was claiming. I might not repurchase any of these. So I am trying to use them as much as I can so I don’t get stuck with them. Praying that maybe using them up that they win me over…

[@ShesBasically]

I agree about the lack of marshmallow in Sweet Addict. To me it smells like chocolate & mandarins lol. There's a comment below recommending a better alternative for Sweet Addict!

[@ShawnieAtchison]

Have have you tried the dossier floral marshmallow I've ordered it twice from Walmart and they kept sending me the ambery vanilla 😑 so I gave up but I really would like to try another version of Love don't be shy before I buy the actual bottle lol

[@handbagluvin]

U have to buy sweven and sinful separately mix yourself

[@ShesBasically]

As an alternative to Miss Girl? That's a good idea, then I can control how much of each I use.

[@biancagoodman860]

It's so funny, I love praise the perfume. I don't get any milk from it at all lol. I get the citrus note in the beginning and it kinda pulls a baby doll pink plastic type of vibe which is really interesting lol. It's like what I think a Barbie would smell like. But for me I don't care for like rose scents so I appreciated it being sweet without obvious flowers.

[@ShesBasically]

It's so hard to describe but I like the way you put it lol. What other fragrances (outside of Oakcha) do you like?

[@biancagoodman860]

@ShesBasically I like Christain Serrano's Au naturelle. It's got a sweet vibe but it doesn't read old lady on me. Ariana's Cloud is a fav, along with Billie eilish, the gold bottle. Billie actually smells good on men too, especially mixed with something smokey like Tom Ford noir

[@heavenj7]

Have you tried their Soleil Blanc dupe?

[@ShesBasically]

I haven’t yet but a few people have recommended it!
