My 10 Fragrances for Life: Perfumes I CANNOT Live Without | Fragrance Friday

[@marneyjurist-rosner5260]

Marlena. That BDK Rouge Smoking is AMAZING. I would have NEVER learned about this without your video. Oh my goodness. That is some seriously good perfume. Thank you. Thank you.

[@MarlenaStell]

It’s so good right?! One of my absolute favorites!!

[@marneyjurist-rosner5260]

@@MarlenaStell. It is phenomenal and so delicious. I literally can’t stop smelling myself. I cannot thank you enough. Thanks again 😀

[@jnada101]

You are so great at describing scents omg! Most KZbinrs are just like it smells sooo good XD

[@MarlenaStell]

Oh thank you! I try to explain thoroughly so it’s easy to see if you’d like or not ❤

[@lees_box]

@@MarlenaStell You do it so well Marlena, I always sit there hanging on ur every word.

[@kristabelle43]

Agreed!!

[@kristabelle43]

Girl you should start your own fragrance line! I feel like you’d nail it you’re so knowledgeable with the notes!

[@ciaraaaa96]

This is the type of influencer i miss. Someone just being authentic ❤

[@toniweston4330]

My signature scent is Poison by Dior & on very special occasions I'll wear Fracus. I am almost 70 if that means anything. I am a Libra, I am known for my style sense. I am very young at heart often people think I am 50. My point is Poison is not old lady-ish. Although it is strong so use it sparingly.

[@davisholman8149]

Mine is Addict by Dior. It is my ‘most of the year’ perfume. I get compliments every time I wear it! Them Jo Malone’s Orange Blossom in the hot summer.

[@davisholman8149]

Oops - my dog jumped on my lap🥴…THEN

[@jeanettebennett1527]

I absolutely cannot believe this video was posted today! I loved your Friday fragrance videos. You have a gift with describing them and I’ve been pleased with recommendations from you that I picked up. I was going to DM you to plead with you to bring these videos back. And then voilà! Freaking excited to watch this after dinner!!! Thank you so much Marlena!❤️

[@MarlenaStell]

yay! I LOVE fragrances so much!! I'll be keeping this series going each Friday. Just needed a bit to get back to filming them :)

[@gabriellechampagne5174]

Hi Marlena!! Loveeee this new era of yours on KZbin! I’d love to see more business related mindset/history/inspiration among this new beauty content you have been giving us!!

[@MarlenaStell]

Yes would love to provide that! Any topics in specific you'd love to see? Will be posting more of those for sure :)

[@geoz4209]

I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone explain fragrance as well as you? Perfect descriptions and so very well spoken. Bravo

[@EAV0503]

Love the video! If you hadn’t already, can you do a tutorial of your eye look? It’s so beautiful!

[@maxine7088]

I love how she lined her eyes with the liner all the way from inner to outer corner. She used to not line in the inner corner, but it sure looks good here! She's beautiful.

[@michelle7281]

It's so much fun chatting about fragrances! My favorite daytime EDT that is fresh and easy to wear out or in-office is, Armani's Aqua Di Gio for Women, (not the Di Gioia one!) - it can be hard to find, but is the perfect fresh scent for me. It launched in 1995 and I've been wearing it since 1999 when I discovered it. Peach and Pineapple top notes blend with jasmine middle notes and it's sandalwood, musk and amber base notes bring an earthy balance to the fruits and florals, creating a fresh, breezy fragrance that lightly lingers for about 3-4 hours. My favorite evening perfume is Fracas de Robert Piguet - it's extremely sensual and lasts for about 8-9 hours. Top notes are Peach, Orange Blossom, Hiacynth, Green Leaves, Mandarin Orange and Bergamot; middle notes are Tuberose, Jasmine, Gardenia, Osmanthus, Narcissus, Lily-of-the-Valley, Carnation, White Iris, Violet Root, Coriander, Rose and Rose Geranium; base notes are Musk, Sandalwood, Amber, Oakmoss, Vetiver and Cedar. It's my most sexy fragrance, a beautiful classic feminine scent! They launched a newer version of it in 2012, but it doesn't compare to the original.

[@FlyingDutchmanXXX]

Bestie please do a tutorial on the eye look you’re wearing! I beg you! 😍💚

[@MarlenaStell]

I think I filmed this one? But I need to find it lol. I think I filmed on my phone

[@mariellazavala72]

I agree!!! We need a tutorial on this eye look !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@JClover2]

This eye look is 🔥

[@Ms10010]

Wow best descriptions on YT, way better than the perfume "gurus" on here, thank you Marlena! Please don't stop these vids!! 💜 One suggestion: referencing similar DNA perfumes or perfumes that remind you of your faves please, thank you!

[@misscelly83]

Tutorial on this makeup look!!!😱😲

[@tanhome7]

You clearly know what you’re talking about, you know a lot about scent notes and the details of fragrance. These videos come so naturally to you, I think you have yet another gift and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I really have a ton of respect for you Marlena and you’re so genuine and sweet ❤

[@jillhiggins3246]

I got Rouge Smoking for Christmas and I am obsessed!!! I just wish it lasted longer on me! I also love Tobacco Vanille and Eau Duelle. Great list Marlena!❤

[@meganbaum8832]

Would love love love to see seasonal fragrance recommendations from you! It would be so fun to see your picks based on season! 💖

[@jeanetteh.9240]

I love how you wear different eye makeup looks for your videos. This one is particularly beautiful!

[@user-ie4dm9dq4h]

She's baaaaack!!! So glad. I missed you,girl !!!

[@user-qo3mk1ck7h]

My 2 fav fragrances, both Tom Ford---Lost Cherry and Tobacco Vanille----I could, and will, wear forever.

[@RuthMejiaRM]

The algorithm brought me here and I’m so happy !! Everything on this video is amazing the make up the background the description and selection honestly I didn’t know about you until this very moment but of course I had to suscribe I also love perfumes so much and talk about them here

[@carladelloro8433]

I don't have a lot of scents. The fragrances that work for me (which I either own/smelled) are 1. Lancome's Idole 2. Burberry her edp 3. Valentino Donna born in roma 4. Mancera roses vanille 5. Tom ford's tobacco vanille 6. PDM Meliora

[@ririimari]

Kilian Princess Kilian Love Don't be Shy Dior Hypnotic Poison These are my 3 fav

[@kimvaldez698]

Thanks so much Marlena for this video. I love the way you describe each fragrance. Would you please consider doing a video on your favorite body creams and/or body butters? Most of the time I wear a body cream/butter because the fragrance just seems to stay with me for a longer period of time. Once again, thank you for your wonderful videos. (Also, I think you're absolutely beautiful.) 🙂

[@MarlenaStell]

That’s a great idea! I can!

[@belleviefemme]

Love all of them, you have the best taste!!❤ But Gurl!!!!! Watching you talk with the stick by your nose without seeing you smell it, sets of some strange anticipation spot in my brain that makes me forget to breathe. 😅 You're gorge though, and I am loving these new videos!!❤❤

[@kanamichelle7404]

Thank you for doing some fragrances that I have not heard of before, and that I haven’t seen other KZbinrs cover. I am still looking for my holy grail, the PERFECT Gardenia scent. Like unicorns, it doesn’t exist. Have you ever done a signature fragrance, Marlena? If not, would you?

[@sanaderbas718]

Eye look tutorial please 💕💕

[@amyrichcreek]

I feel like you are the best ever at describing things. You paint such a nice picture with your words.

[@ayeshachaudhry750]

I absolutely love watching your fragrances videos. I bought all fragrances you mentioned in your previous videos. The way you explain perfume Notes. No one explain the way you do. ❤❤

[@deluxecoco2789]

Oriana is my favorite because of the marshmallow note and I like it better than Delina. It lasts all day especially if I layer it with with a nice body butter.

[@Yogadivasdivinelife]

My top fragrances for life are: Initio Oud for Greatness, Initio Atomic Rose, Delina, Delina Exclusiv, BR 540 Extrait, Not a Perfume Superdose, Kilian Love Don’t Be Shy, Tom Ford Lost Cherry, Tom Ford Black Orchid, Mugler Angel, Mugler Alien, & Chanel Coco Mademoiselle.

[@froufou100]

I love the way you explain the notes AND longevity and sillage, a nice change from others and easier to pick some samples. Plus, you are making me discover new names which is refreshing, thank you

[@blacknight_93]

What eye shadow are you wearing? It’s gorgeous!

[@tammymartin7017]

Anything by Bvlgari! Pour de Femme was my absolute diehard favorite of ALL TIME, and they discontinued it!!!😭😭😭 I do, however, love their Crystaline line.

[@jaylenebiesemans5855]

I smelled oriana and I love it will buy it for sure.

[@boogiepimp78]

Gris Charnel is so good but The Extrait is even more amazing! It's more dense and sensual. You should try or sample it!

[@jeanettebennett1527]

Well, we must have similar tastes. I have 8 out of 10 fragrances you mentioned. I don’t have the Armani or Chanel. I quite like the house of Bo. I also purchased a frag from them called Liis. If you get an opportunity to get your nose on it, I don’t think you’d be disappointed! Love these videos so much!❤️

[@MarlenaStell]

I need to get this one!

[@vickigoodenough702]

You are incredible at describing perfume scents !!! I think you’ve found your new calling

[@dimaawad7725]

This makeup is so beautiful on you. ❤❤ I like these colors on you (More than browns..)

[@lashondaallen5530]

Love your braid. I also love the Dua version of rouge smoking! It is so good!

[@sirilawson2557]

L’Air du Temps by Nina Ricci. My mom wore it in the 1950’s; I didn’t see her very often growing up cause she was in the merchant marines so she had to stay gone for several months at a time. After she had been home for a spell I could still smell her in the room after she had left. She knew how much I loved it so she gave me my very own bottle on my 12th birthday (in 1960! Yes, I’m old). I wear it to this day, and whenever I spray it on it’s like having my mom back.

[@Sallyandhobbies]

Please share what you used for this beautiful eyeshadow look. It’s the most beautiful purple look I’ve seen and I don’t even like purple 😂

[@dcvasquez91]

Hey 👋, love the extrait version. I did not like the normal version. While they are supposed to be unisex. The SA at the counter said this was more of the masculine scent. I get so many compliments with this scent. When I went to London I picked up a couple Vilhem perfumes. Dear Polly and Mango skin. Love them both, but Dear Polly is my favorite.

[@lindseystein9676]

My fav scent will always me the original Michael Kors. It’s floral but also with a touch of spice & woods.

[@stephaniejones2605]

Just loving all the fragrance content! Most recent loves added to my collection are Thameen Peregrina, Tommavicci Empyrean Extrait, Nasomatto Narcotic V, and Ormond Jayne Damask!

[@MarlenaStell]

Ooh I need to try those!! I’ve had my eye on peregrina for awhile 😍

[@valmac3887]

I never realized how amazing you are at perfume reviews!!! I could watch you do this everyday!!!

[@maxine7088]

I love your eye shadow color. You look absolutely beautiful, Marlena.

[@goodjeans7084]

So, so happy that Fragrance Fridays are back!! I love the way you describe fragrances. Cheers

[@jenn.222]

Hi Marlena! Can you do a Spring Fragrances video? I'd like to see your take, since I find we have similar taste ❤

[@MarlenaStell]

Absolutely! Doing one in 2 weeks :)

[@teresalehtonen8499]

I have to admit I love perfumes and loves the " I wanna eat myself " statement.

[@IntoxaKate]

LOVING THE EYE MAKE UP LOOK HERE!!!!

[@gretchendavisson8056]

Well we all have to go through trials and tribulations in life. And boy you sure have. But look at you! Your still smiling and shining like star. I used to be a fragrance model back in the Nordstrom days, so I really love these fragrance videos! Thank You for never giving up and your You Tube family have your back! Always!! 😘

[@ambition1224]

You have an exquisite way of describing fragrances, Marlena! Thanks for the recommendations! XOXO!!

[@AnneLauren]

Oh we are here for the fragrance content!! 🙌🏼😍 What fantastic picks! Eau Duelle, Baccarat, Gris Charnel?? Yes yes yes

[@karenjoslin2772]

I'm obsessed with MFK Gentle Fluidity Gold! The 540 doesn't smell good on me though. Great list of perfumes to try🎉

[@shannonfluehr1352]

Can we get a makeup tutorial!??! I love!!

[@LenaSheppard]

I love all your descriptions. Thanks for doing this. I appreciate you being here !

[@MarlenaStell]

You are so welcome!xoxo ❤

[@jenellew8029]

I LOVE your fragrance videos! Keep them coming! ❤️ Would also love to see how/where you store your fragrance collection! I always wonder how best to store them to preserve them for as long as possible. Your makeup is gorgeous as always and loving your new content lately! (I loved all of the old content too! 😉)

[@MarlenaStell]

Thank you so much! I’ll do an updated fragrance collection and storage video next month :)

[@biogirl1381]

omg, the BDK sounds FABULOUS, and it’s my favorite type of scent. i’m bummed that there’s no link, and i don’t know where i can find it. oriana sounds lovely, and psychedelic love sounds AMAZING!!! dyptique and tobacco vanille are also right up my alley, and i actually have the tobacco vanille in my sephora cart as we speak ready for the sale. thank you so much for this video!!! i would LOVE to see a tutorial on your look today. you look like a princess!!! 💜👑💜

[@MarlenaStell]

I think Lucky Scent may have!

[@kimberlyscheiderlein2452]

I generally hate all perfumes. But watching this made me want to experiment. Very specific and creative descriptions. Thank you!

[@jojot1821]

Marlena, please try Jardins de Misfah by Une Nuit Nomade. It is truly one of the most beautiful scents I have ever smelled. Intoxicating!

[@dreamscape405]

My all time favorite perfume was 2005 version of Miss Dior Che'rie. To me, it smelled like sun tea would if it smelled strong. The 2012 version was ok, but nothing like 2005. Why do brands have to discontinue all my favorites?! So frustrating.

[@missjohari]

Yess yess mine too I was sad when I finished my bottle and bought a new one and it was nothing like the 1st one. Sad.

[@evelynfajardo3768]

My signature scent is By the Fireplace by Maison Margiela. I adore the mix of sweet and woody and smokey. I like to layer it over their layering oil called Blur, but they don’t make it anymore 😢

[@julissabido]

I have 6 out of the 10 you mentioned. I love how you describe the fragrances. You should definitely do a fragrance collection video. I’m so curious to see what others you have in your collection. Fragrance addition is real lol

[@JClover2]

She does. Look thru her videos

[@lilibee3443]

I absolutely love your fragrance content.

[@denisereadstarot]

I would love to see a glimpse of all your perfumes ❤

[@katherinesalem]

Is your next business venture a fragrance line, perhaps?? I own a few Marsté pieces and they are some of my most versatile, well-loved, high quality items so I'd absolutely trust you enough to buy a fragrance 😉

[@amandahawley7862]

Got the chanel riviera girl

[@nonilady1577]

What a Friday Treat from you! Perfect timing to grab a summer fragrance ❤

[@jessicamanuelito9589]

Love the eyeshadow please do a get ready with that look

[@mickeyremich3039]

Initio is such a special perfumery - you have to wear them on the skin and enjoy the changes as they dry down. Rehab and Side Effect are also addictive and seductive - all Initio are attention getters in the right ways.

[@StelXO]

What eyeliner do you have in your waterline? That violet indigo shade is gorgeous and so complimentary to the eye look💜

[@MarlenaStell]

It’s a blue eyeliner by Inglot 🥰

[@alefromspace]

Hi lovely could you do a tutorial of the makeup you have here?

[@frosting6439]

Love this. Great descriptions. I am definitely saving this to check out these perfumes. Currently wearing Kilian Love Don’t Be Shy. I love a sexy sweet scent.

[@priscak6586]

Love some of those, the BDK Gris charnel and Rouge smoking are definitely in my top 10 for life too, as well as BR540 much as I hate to admit it😂 That whole chanel paris line is highly under rated, love Biarritz especially this time of year. Need to get my nose on Riviera, sounds amazing. Some of mine for life would also include Kilian's Angel's share, TF santal blush, Replica's Jazzclub, Creed wind flowers, Le labo's Another 13, Nishane's Hundred silent ways, Mancera Instant crush, Poets of Berlin and my most recent purchase God of fire. Could go on and on but these will always be in my collection 😊 You look stunning as always ❤

[@ladydi2396]

You are so awesome at explaining the notes in all the fragrances...❤❤ I would love to see your top 10 picks for spring & summer.🌞🌞

[@ItIsYourMom]

A few I will never be without, but people may not be familiar with - I highly recommend trying these three: Chanel's Bois De Iles, YSL's Rive Gauche, and Frederic Malle's Iris Poudre
