[@Sorelena1]

Totally agree with Dyptique. I saw that some people put it in(in the previous video) the same category with Byredo and Jo Malone because they smell kind of naturally... But no...diptyque is definitely better (quality-price). It's stronger, the bottles are quite artsy and majority of their perfumes are very interesting

[@keungchaic]

YAY I'm a huge Diptyque fan. Jo Malone is just a copy cat to me, on a different level.

[@wvanderwahl]

I'm so glad you included Serge Lutens as it is truly a quality product for a fair price and they do not advertise. In the 80's they were known for makeup.

[@gabriellakelly5841]

Demi I really appreciate your honesty! During my quarantine in the UK I’ve parted with a substantial amount of money on various fragrances - all of which were of your recommendation. Everyone single one was a blind buy and I have not been disappointed once! It’s so important to be transparent with your followers so thank you! Also I’m a fellow Aussie so love hearing a familiar accent ❤️

[@Mya-fu7fy]

Once again, thank you for the insight on what brands/houses I can or should not buy from 💖

[@SayaMima]

Agree, Serge Lutens is great perfume brand, sadly underestimated. Reasonable price too. Love, love feminite du bois & datura noir. Thanks for sharing this

[@elizapop3644]

Love, love, love Serge Lutens.

[@lucafumagalli7651]

Absolutely. My next purchase will be feminite du bois!

[@antonioking2602]

Try Santal Majiscule and un bois vanille. What a house

[@angrybosh]

Un Bois Vanille is an ultimate sleeper!!

[@sohas7806]

I think most serge lutens fragrances smell bad 😳. But thats personal i guess.

[@noseknowsnonotes6833]

I can definitely vouch for FdB. Some are not a style that I would pay that amount for, but several that I've tried are among the best fragrances that I've tried. Malle, Amouage, MFK are def up there.

[@danielletorelli1405]

Demi, you always have always been one of my favorite perfume reviewers. You are fresh and enthusiastic ... without all the annoying pretension. I have purchased many of your recommendations and you always "nail it". It actually angers me that you feel like you have to defend yourself so much. I get it . You are a beautiful woman and I am sure there are many people just chomping at the bit to attack you for "biased sponsoring" and whatnot because of envy. I am sure that you know that most reviewers get sent free merchandise to review without all the petty backlash. I appreciate that you do an honest review either way. I personally do not care if reviewers get sent free merchandise...most popular reviewers do and it is expected. Love your insight. THank you so much for sharing!!! YOU DO YOU!!!!!!

[@phichi5488]

Reviewer, influencer, whatever it is, you're a voice i can trust, and you help introduce me to fragrances beyond designer. Great video again, and I will have to be sure to check out some of these houses.

[@labbearome5442]

Love this video, Demi. Your dedication to honesty is absolutely what’s needed in this forum.

[@chadaflynn]

Not only have you made great recommendations when it comes to what to purchase, but the way you explain each fragrance in depth has been very educational and something I’ve used to buy other fragrances. Thank you for always being honest!! Much appreciated!!

[@BennyCFD]

Demi, why not do something interesting. Have lets say 10 to 15 perfumes from the cheapest to the most expensive and and have women blind folded and have them rated just from the fragrance and see how many can really choose according to price. It might be an eye opener.

[@GwenApMannanan]

Once you get above a certain price point - specifically with a lot of these brands (and some she doesn’t mention) the difference is undeniable. Once you sniff, you can’t help but understand.

[@adrianavargova]

@@GwenApMannanan Agree. At this very moment I try samples, and I was so curious about the Mugler Allien, and then I sniffed Rasasi. People❗Once your nose is spoiled with niche, you won't look back. Ever. You instantly sniff the difference between blending, smell and quality.

[@juliettirina6829]

Eau Duelle Edp is one of my favourites. Very realistic vanilla smelling and it lasts 8 hrs on my skin.

[@jimbeam4140]

That last video was incredibly brave and this has cemented your status as an elite fragrance reviewer. Because of your recommendation I'm saving up to purchase Amouage.

[@kirstydeutschmann5527]

Would love to see an Amouage house review!

[@ohaipatricia]

Yes, please!!!

[@angelsilva9298]

Fr I really want to see that

[@horatio737]

fragrance du bois‘s packaging is really great, definitely worth the money im paying for. Personally, I really think the packaging of a fragrance is important.

[@harishnalopez4710]

I agree with your list! And thank you for standing behind Diptyque and Serge Lutens because these two are very Parisian and very niche quality even if there are far more expensive niche brands than them. I wish you added Memo Paris, I love that brand and as of this moment I have three of their perfumes. Also, Mizensir! So elegant!

[@fabiets158]

How can you not love Demi 😍 Tom Ford is my favorite luxury brand

[@keungchaic]

Love Diptyque that I even purchased their latest Advent Calendar, they smell classy & refreshing. I especially love their clean design. In fact, it's very good value compared to those niche fragrances. Thanks for your recommendation!

[@liketotallygaga]

I can't believe you haven't mentioned Le Labo, they're such a great niche house!

[@mz.tyrisha4560]

Demi don’t ever change. I appreciate quality and you have a high quality nose. I appreciate your content and most of my collection is fragrances you mention on your channel. If people are saying mean things and not understanding then this channel is not for them. Pay them no mind. I appreciate you and stay safe🙏🏾

[@drewbranch7700]

I’m terribly sorry,but WE are the ones investing in these fragrances,so if some of these brands are outraged,they better heed to your constructive criticism and improve their products. I appreciate you being transparent,don’t be a boot licker to these fragrances brands. It’s part of business and those who are wise would appreciate the honest feedback from a review such as you. Screw blending with the crowd,stick OUT and say something that needs to be said.

[@demirawling]

Thank you for you comment. I’ll always stay authentic to the people that support me.

[@clipdrift]

@@demirawling well apparently not anymore since the video of the ones are not worth it is deleted now lol

[@Lady.Lynn.Z]

Thank you, this is very appreciated, and I know how it is to have the possibility of burning bridges! I had some scents in carts waiting, guess I will let them go as I trust your expertise! P. S. AMAZING lip colour 😍

[@amandahaworth9347]

Loved your honesty and advice . I personally love MFK and FMalle. Have you tried Ormand Jane ? Amber Royal is beautiful

[@bryancastater2337]

I 100% agree with your list. I think you’re spot on. Love your reviews. For me I would add 2 others to my list Kilian and Roja Dove. I know your feeling on Kilian and I respect that but what do you think about Roja?

[@denisesheffield481]

Serge Lutens is my favorite brand! Just blind brought Rouge Smoking from bdk parfums and sadly there's hardly any projection or sillage. I think I may have a bad bottle since everyone raves about this brand. So far they haven't responded back to my email. You introduced me to Initio parfums and I love them!

[@juliebakerville265]

Loving your lipstick shade! That said Yes Frederick Malle! Love Lipstick Rose LOVE! Thank you for all the lovely tip directions I will visit Thanks

[@michelle8824]

hi demi, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, what are you wearing on your lips???~ STUNNING!

[@princessk2450]

Thank you ! I appreciate you being honest.

[@veronicavargo8830]

Thank you so much Gorgeous..Your honesty is refreshing..💜💗💖

[@marinagarcia9676]

Demii I love all your videos and I really enjoy to listen your opinion about the perfums!! What’s your opinion about Francesca Bianchi?I love ‘Sex and the Sea Neroli’ sooo much

[@christianshank6714]

Fragrance du Bois is my favorite. Might be biased since that was my first expensive fragrance. Since I've started watching this channel I have added Parfum de Marly and a Tom Ford. Your opinions are pretty spot on to how they are. Thank you!

[@FantasysMine]

Yes! OMG, yes! The Key Word : „Consistency” .The consistency is definitely worth investing in and needs to be appreciated. Personally I also adore when you can smell the DNA in all of the fragrances.It makes a complete story. I always look at the releases of one brand to be either the same person in a different parts and stages of life or a family of individuals that have their personality,but share the same blood, so no matter what is happening , in the end they gather and sit at the table together . Very spot on video, Demi! I would also add Chanel,but this is more on the designer side of the market- they are VERY consistent and I could talk a lot why I love the brand in general, so I better abstain from that. Have a lovely day! Xo

[@aznbeaner87]

I enjoy Chanel, not niche though. I am excited to try more from these brands since I took your recommendation from FDB and now I'm hooked on your recommendations.

[@benmwila5501]

How about Xerjoff? What do you have to say about their juices? Wonderful piece of advice though.

[@josealvarado8842]

Demi, you have exposed me to the best fragrance houses I've ever encountered and I deeply appreciate it a lot, You're awesome and great video as always. much love and respect from one fragrance lover to another xoxo

[@annkristinskadberg4417]

Really appreciate your honesty in this video and the previous!✨✨✨ 👌👌👌

[@redshrineproductions8895]

Love the videos. I may or may not binge everyday

[@SundayRose99]

YES! Love these 2 videos and I totally agree! I’m really loving Diptyque now, the price point is amazing for that high quality. Have you tried their body cream... pure luxury!

[@XxGegexX96]

Omg what lipstick are you wearing? I've been looking for the perfect burgundy for a while now and this looks amazing!

[@nayanrawal2010]

I am looking for the same lipstick

[@ChescoYT]

+1

[@OlfactiveStories]

I agree with you for most of these brands. FdB is just a bit overpriced for me. That's just my opinion (the bottles are gorgeous and of course it comes with a price too). But PdM, I really don't get the hype with these fragrances. There are also lots of smaller brands out there that definitely worth the money and would deserve more hype to my opinion : Heeley, Dusita, l'Orchestre parfum ...

[@fatimaaaaaaaaa]

I can’t bring myself to like Heeley. I’ve tried four of their perfumes and really HATED all of them.

[@OlfactiveStories]

@@fatimaaaaaaaaa Oh really ? 😯 Maybe it was not your taste then. I found them well blended, really well made. It smells like quality to me even they aren't all my taste. I bought Iris de nuit and I just love it. 🥰 Hopefully, there's room for anyone's taste in perfumery 😊

[@Slenaaa]

What lipstick are you wearing? It looks amazing!!

[@miles-178]

last 2 videos are brilliant!!! thank you for your words!!!!

[@julescasa1375]

I have a very large luxury fragrance (niche and designer) collection and find myself returning to my Diptyque fragrances over my others. They are unique, refined and gorgeous. Diptyque fragrances are consistently well formulated with quality ingredients. They also seem to be the ones I receive the MOST compliments. I also love and own some of the fragrances from Fragrance du Bois, Serge Lutens and BDK and those also result in compliments. While Frederic Malle built an amazing house, I feel Estee Lauder's purchase of the brand resulted in the thinning of the juices of some of my favorites so I haven't been quite as enthusiastic towards the brand.

[@fofo4298]

Hi Demi can you recommend me what dyptique perfume is the best for woman? thanks 😃😃🌺🌺❤️❤️

[@hussayni]

Wow.. love all your videos. I really love this look and make-up! My heart meltzz~~

[@lukeflynn3943]

Love your honesty demi, love from New Zealand

[@samwilliams3966]

Great list Demi, thanks for sharing. Initio Blessed Baraka is probably my favourite perfume of all time... some other houses worth the money in my personal opinion are Kilian, Nishane and Guerlain. Stay safe

[@meganpearl914]

I love all your videos and you really got me into perfumes

[@lovaloo763]

Imo a house definitely worth the money is Atelier Cologne. Extremely high quality naturally derived fragrances at a reasonable price point. They're primarily known for their citrus freshies but personally I love Vanille Incensee and they have many other appealing options.

[@borneo_sl]

Xerjoff is still my favorite brand!

[@Nubianette]

Pauses, then googles BDK. The Tuberuese looks great! I appreciate the brands you’ve introduced me to, like Fragrances Du Bois. I did a bit of research, and they totally look like they’re worth it. I’d have to stick to the lower end. Smaller, quality productions are more expensive. I need to get some samples from Lucky Scent. Have you tried Tiziana Terenzi? I just got my 2nd perfume from them , Halley. I love it! I’ve never seen such beautiful packaging! Every part of it, is a keepsake, especially the bottle! The juice smells like an experience.

[@salsaco5119]

Demi, you’re so sophisticated! Love your videos!!! Sending you lots of Lithuanian love 💖🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹

[@divya2677]

Hello demi🤗 share your favorite candles

[@user-uu8bk9jg6g]

Hi Did you try "Tomas Kosmala" ? What can u say about that brand? Thank you

[@rellg.2607]

Dyptique for me is amazing! Their fragrances are very unique smelling. And so beautiful. I love and have Fleur de Peau, Do Son, and Eau de Sens. I definitely want to try Initio and MFK. I definitely like to try the other brand you mentioned as well.

[@YouGetSoAlone]

Great lipstick color and jacket. Probably your best look!

[@malkeo7724]

Demi definitely be yourself and don’t follow. That’s the best way especially people are tired of blind buy and you’re leading the pack.Honestly you remind me of myself picking the best scents that last and great quality.So keep up the great work,myself and my family and friends definitely missed being in Dubai,it’s been 2 years already and please enjoy the moment.Much respect and love for your passion

[@dreww1818]

Thanks for your honest reviews of these fragrance houses.

[@abecarranza7585]

@Demi Rawling - May I ask why you didn't include Tom Ford in your list? I have watched your other videos and you seem to like some TF fragrances. I think with TF, his Private Blend is broad enough for every taste and while the price point is a little high, I believe the juice quality is well worth the money (TV, NdN, OW, etc) Thanks!

[@willih007]

Always interested in your opinion Demi. I noticed Roja Dove was on neither?!? I've been thinking of purchasing one, but $400+ is a lot for me. You got me started on PDM btw. 7 bottles later I'm still building my collection.

[@tatalee8528]

I baught a lot of blind buys bcoz of your recomendations demi and i love them all.you are trust worthy.and i love your taste in perfumes.😊

[@jrebou512]

I couldn't agree more, Demi!! When are you going to review the house of Aedes de Venustas???

[@lellushkaasmr6232]

Hundred percent agree, I was a little bit afraid you dont mention Malle:). Malle and MFK are my favourites and maybe PDM since I have my Delina exc

[@pl4391]

Thank you for your hard works. love u❤️

[@Helyballa]

Demi you are beautiful! What lipstick are you wearing? It looks gorgeous on you!!! I want it!

[@rellg.2607]

Love your lipstick. What lipstick are you using?

[@stuartmcintyre8012]

Love all you’re vids Demi, always look forward to you’re next one😏totally off topic but just wanted to know you’re opinion, Acqua Di Gio Essenza or Profumo?? I know Essenza is discontinued but do you think it’s worth the jacked up price?? Love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 stay safe😁

[@roxw7221]

I get that there are too many to add to this list, but I want to buy a Roja perfume for my next "milestone" birthday. so I was hoping it was one you think is worth the money. I'd love to see a Roja video featuring gourmand to see your opinion so I know what to order samples of. I love Serge Lutens, but seems like the last few offerings were a little too "strange" for me. I preferred the 50 ml bottles because I either tire of them because new perfumes come out or as my next milestone b day is 60, I may never use them all up. haha. Thanks for your reviews, really helps point me in the right direction of what to sample.

[@chasebennett2971]

can u please do a updated how i apply fragrance video? i like how much you use!

[@zazilicious]

Hi Demi 👋🏾 what lipstick are you wearing in this video?

[@jantio4301]

Hi Demi, I always watch your videos and i have purchased a lot bec of your reviews. I was able to get amouage sunshine but its made in UK. i also have the same sunshine made in Oman and they smell exactly the same with packaging perfectly the same. so maybe amouage also being made in UK?

[@MeMe-nz1sq]

What lipstick brand and shade you are wearing ? I love it

[@Nazus7887]

Hi, can you share any Amouage recommendations? Do you own or have a favorite for women? FYI-I gravitate towards oud’s ;-) Thanks.

[@MrMelonMan96]

Batch inconsistencies with PDM? I ordered two decants of Layton, one was yellow juice and had great performance. The other was clear and performance wasn't quite as good and the scent smelt a little weaker. I was going to buy a full bottle based off the first decant but now I'm not sure

[@tammyludwigs6368]

I would be curious to know your opinion on House of Sillage.

[@gigiii1059]

Why did you not include Armani privé? Love your videos!! ❤️

[@abibabeee]

Can you please list down the parfums you mentioned for each brand? 😍❤

[@Ahmedsaad-lj1de]

Hi Demi, once again a wonderfully put review, I am On completely on Board with all the choices but did you miss the brands Atelier cologne Nasomato Memo Paris and their sub brand Hermetica Roja Dove Kilian Or will they be featuring in a future upcoming video. However great compilation , I enjoyed it👍👍

[@ChescoYT]

*Hi Demi, big fan here! What brand of lipstick & shade are you wearing, you look amazing!*

[@beneu95]

Everything you recommended here is APPROVED by me 100%. By the way, Parfums de Marly is one the BEST fragrance lines and I own 6 different perfumes from this brand. I LOVE THEM. Also, MFK and Frederic Malle are also two of the greatest perfume brands.

[@tjuyliapco1697]

How about tiziana terenzi?

[@weronikazalewska2]

Thanks for your honesty❤️❤️👍

[@CaliReviews]

great video & totally agree the bigger youre channel the more people watch & every fragrance is some ones favorite LOL

Will you please do a video of long-lasting perfumes?

[@evandiaye3723]

Hello Demi.i do love a lot your loyalty and transparency.I just follow your advice .I am really happy with my fragrances selection based on your advices.

[@joannedole]

Love your honest opinions

[@fredynavarro237]

I think it's missing Roja Parfums, Xerjoff, Nishane, Nassomato, Tauer Parfums.

[@Yarp2d2]

Yep! I’d love a 30 minute video as well. 😊

[@mohamedsow8935]

You lose credibility when you mention Nasomatto and Nishane in that list

[@Yarp2d2]

Mohamed Sow I’m unaware. Explain. Please. :)

[@MRfisheri]

@@mohamedsow8935 yes please explain your statement.

[@Yarp2d2]

Me Myself Roja is ridiculously overpriced, also isn’t his whole thing reimagining vintage stuff from other brands? Xerjoff I love. Not everything though of course. I own a few. I’d love to hear why Nassomato is controversial. Demi spoke about them before.

[@stephaniemannreed1224]

I love Diptyque, especially the Fig one. Philosykos. Divine!

[@smellandtellfragrance7245]

great content as always my gal!

[@caseyplunkett6083]

The scent of the juice from Fragrance Du Bois is amazing but that cap is hideous. I really hope that they improve the aesthetics.

[@robertduncan3267]

I would of thought Roja Dove would be on this list.but definitely agree with Fredrich Malle being on this list.

[@BigMadmax91]

By MFK you get so many masterpieces. Yes, everyone know "Baccarat Rouge 540" and "Oud Satin Mood", but what is with "Lumière Noire Homme", "APOM Homme", "gentle Fluidity (Silver)"? All these perfumes are so easy to wear, but at the same time so unique. Do you know "APOM Homme" and "Lumière Noire Homme"?

[@andreachiniewicz2705]

Thanks for you honesty. I love your recommendations. I bought a large bottle of bal d'Afrique a few years ago and its basically vinegar now. That has never happened with any other perfume and I have a lot. Super disappointing.

[@amandac8836]

My bottle of Bal d'Afrique also turned so quickly too! It ended up smelling plasticky when it smelled amazing when I first bought it. I was going to repurchase but after seeing a few people say the same thing about their bottles turning, I'm very hesitant to put money into buying it again. It was honestly one of my favourite perfumes, too. 😢

[@arthguerra2073]

love your honesty

[@vivia71]

I bought Serge Lutens Chergui because of you!! Absolutely adore this perfume!!!!

[@davidduff9871]

Thanks Demi!!!

[@peretzsucks]

What about Memo? I just purchased lalibela and it is divine. Extremely high quality.

[@josephinegumabay9025]

I love watching your video. I bought some perfume (s) you recommended but of course, I have to try it on first if it's work in my body chemistry and something I can afford. Don't worry about others who are so negative. They will always say something offensive. By the way I like your lipstick, would you mind to tell me what brand is that, sorry.

[@Jurjenbalk]

No perfume brand is worth over 120 dollar... production/package costs are never more then 10dollar per perfume

[@kenfern2259]

ur not just paying for the production or package ur paying for the perfumer skill in making way smell good . Why spend cheap one that smell like everyone and last for 5 minute when you can pay for unique one that smells unique and stand out.

[@kr3642]

After a certain point when you can no longer smell it on yourself you are paying for someone elses scent experience. Is 600 worth it just for a stranger to enjoy on you? Not to me.

[@Jurjenbalk]

Ken Fern pdm isn’t lasting at all.. got layton and herod bud after 3 hours the smell disappears (i asked others too if they still could smell it)
