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

[@kristabelle43]

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

[@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!!

[@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 :)

[@ciaraaaa96]

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

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@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

[@jeanetteh.9240]

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

[@НадеждаТонева-г9л]

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

[@sanaderbas718]

Eye look tutorial please 💕💕

[@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!

[@IntoxaKate]

LOVING THE EYE MAKE UP LOOK HERE!!!!

[@lashondaallen5530]

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

[@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

[@jaylenebiesemans5855]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@AnneLauren]

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

[@valmac3887]

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

[@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.

[@shannonfluehr1352]

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

[@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 :)

[@lashondaallen5530]

I love the cap on the Bo bottle! And I love your description of it. Makes me want to check out the description box 📦

[@tanhome7]

You should create your own fragrance Marlena! 🥰

[@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!! 😘

[@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!

[@jodi4998]

Love your eyeshadow, perfect! What are you wearing on your waterline?❤

[@marlene1708]

This eye makeup ❤

[@nonilady1577]

[@Kadee82]

Eau Duelle is my favvvvvorite

[@sherleyann1]

I love your perfume descriptions ❤

[@beautywithcourtney]

Here are my top fragrances: BR 540 Extrait, Wulong Cha- Nishane, Hundred Silent Ways- Nishane, Strange Paradise- Zimmer, Mango Skin- Vilhelm, This Is Her!- Zadig and Voltaire, Levant- Ormond Jayne and Angels Share- Killian. Some honorable mentions are: Tart Deco- Snif, Apricot Privee-Phlur, Gentle Fluidity Gold- MFK, Sunset Hour- Goldfield and Banks, Gris Charnel- BDK, and Blanche Bete- liquides imaginaires.

[@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!❤

[@jenifergorman1223]

Love fragrance Friday!!! I love your choices and agree 1000%

[@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

[@cookie_dough_hangover]

I love Rive Gauche!

[@lisasmith7]

My husband loves Hermès Un Jardin Sur Lagune. Have a great weekend ❌️ ⭕️

[@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?

[@carolynsteele9929]

Going to sniff ASAP! I’ve been looking for a new scent to add to my favs and this is a real jumping off point

[@lovemufashion]

Great descriptions of the perfumes! As usual, it was so enjoyable watching your video. And I especially liked the subject this time-- I LOVE perfumes and I collect them. :)

[@vanessarosales8898]

Thank you SO much for this video!! I am so excited!!!! I have missed your fragrance videos. You’re the best!

[@MarlenaStell]

You are so welcome! ❤

[@donnakrutzmoorefilmhmua1364]

Love your makeup in this video. I’m debating on ordering Baccarat…I am thinking about treating myself for finishing 600 hours of massage therapy schooling….anatomy was a tough one so I deserve something special….It’s a good excuse I think…🤣

[@TheBobijoux]

Omg I love your makeup 🥰

[@meganbaum8832]

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

[@alicenieto3162]

I am definitely on the absolutely hate side for BR 540. I also don’t like anything that has even a hint of food scent in them. I am a Le Labo rose 31, Another 13 or Aventus for her. Obsessed with these.

[@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 😂

[@kimberly1904]

LOOOOVED this vid! Great explanations! Thank you!

[@peninalipkin2974]

I had to follow you i just found your page pop up and you sound so professional and experienced! I love makeup and perfume. I had rouge smoking but it wasnt my taste. Oriana is cute but to me not worth the price but its pleasant. I own Psychedelic Love and it is a gorgeous cold weather scent and very long lasting! its definitely an underated perfume in my opinion! Tobacco vanille smells on me just like pure kitchen spices its good but i loooove Babycat its how i wanted Tobacco Vanille to smell on me. Have you tried Babycat?! on me its amazing and long long lasting!

[@Kwhorre]

Hi M, love this vid and your make up too! Your descriptions are so detailed, i especially love the references to work and 'non bakery vanilla' cos it depicts the scent so well. Could you refer to some outfits, occasions where possible so i can get a better idea eg coats, jackets, swim day etc. Still love your content, thanks heaps xx Kim

[@MarlenaStell]

Of course! I am planning on doing a video matching perfumes to makeup looks and outfits :) will be a fun one

[@LauraKing]

I love your fragrance videos💕💕 have you tried guerlain Angelique nior!

[@LynnP441]

Yay!!! I live for your fragrance videos. Thank you!!!!!

[@blacknight_93]

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

[@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!

[@TheUnstoppableChef]

YUMM!! LOVE THIS. ❤

[@CathyVaughn-ph3lr]

I love fragrance but was disappointed that you did not list them:(

[@Missfransson]

Versace Bright Crystal Absolute is my Boss Babe parfume. And Marc Jacobs Decadence wich is discontinued 😢 I love Victoria Scret Tease. Just the regular one. So sexy!!

[@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.

[@geoz4209]

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

[@cait.]

Have you ever compared the baccarat perfume to the Ariana cloud?

[@normaorlando3538]

Marlena, Your eyes look so beautiful! I did ask in a video of yours a while back in which you had the same look and was wondering if it is the Rose Quarts Palette? I just ordered the Coastal Palette which is a dupe for that and wanted to know the colors you used? Also Marlena I bought on your recommendation the Generic Volumizing Root Lifter from Sally and it is the best. I have tried many many over the years and it works? Now going to try one of the fragrance you suggest in this video. Thanks and you are special!

[@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.

[@karenjoslin2772]

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

[@AmberStone7]

I appreciate your content, Marlena! Long time follower 🥰 Question regarding perfumes going bad? You mentioned you have over 250 perfumes? Don’t they all have an expiration date and change over time? 😮

[@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.

[@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.

[@BasicIW]

Unfortunately, these all don't seem to be for me. The freshie one you mentioned at the very beginning sounds intriguing...

[@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

[@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.

[@o.m7095]

I've just discovered your channel and I'm intrigued with your perfume reviews. I would love to have your thoughts on some of your favourite scents for Spring/Summer day and evening. I find the warmer months more challenging to find a balanced fragrance that doesn't feel too cloyingly sweet, or too floral, or too grassy or too powdery as the heat intensifies. I'm on the search for a few Spring/Summer scents and any suggestions or reviews would be inspiring. Thank you for your content.

[@kellyclarkson2439]

What eyeshadows are you wearing, please?

[@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 🥰

[@Dfg697]

Marlena I’m very picky with my perfumes and the only ones I have ever really liked are Lady Gaga’s Fame (smelled like fancy gummy bears on me) and Flowerbomb is my everyday perfume my family always compliments me when I wear a bit of it. I’m so basic! 😂 Any recommendations for me? ❤

[@lindseystein9676]

If you like flower bomb, you might like Marc jacobs daisy or some of their other scents

[@o.m7095]

Being without a favourite fragrance would make me very sad indeed. Sometimes I feel like I should explore and try new scents, and while I like them as I sample them in the store, they sometimes tend to feel a little foreign and not liike an extension of me yet. It's how I'm feeling now with the purchase of a few scents from Loewe (Aire Sutilezza, Aire A Mi Aire & Solo EDT). Their freshness and lightness initially intrigued me as being good fragrances for the upcoming warmer months but I'll have to see how often I'll gravitate towards them. Have you tried any Loewe fragrances? If so, I'd love to know your thoughts on them.

[@yvonneadrian734]

Oh yes, Tom Ford Tabacco Vinille is one of my favorites. However, I smell vanilla, tabacco and a little woodsey and a boozy yummy sexy fragrance.

[@ritankarsasmal380]

tobacco vanille smells like a lactonic chai latte!

[@phyllisgoddard24]

I wouldn’t wear anything that Beyoncé wears so thank you for telling me this..

[@ambition1224]

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

[@ghosts231]

Tobacco Vanille is amazing…These prices are just so expensive unfortunately.

[@MarlenaStell]

Tom Fords prices are definitely way too high for the product 😫 I think Dossier might have dupes of some? I like that brand for some less expensive options too 🙌🏼❤️

[@ST-fd6bi]

Hi Marlina, what eyeshadows are you wearing on your eyes? I am looking for this color story ❤

[@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 😍

[@Amanda-yd2ey]

Oriana was a big disappointment or me💸 (and not cheap) the notes make it sound like a delicious gourmand…. But its a bright floral for those of us who want legit dessert in a bottle.

[@jamieauthier2628]

Hey Gorgeous! Love your eyeshadow look!!! Can you please share what you are wearing!! Stunning!!! Can't wait to try some of those scents! ❤❤

[@AlanaByTheShore]

When you said you wear the fragrances for your husband, but you're getting divorced, what did you mean by that? 🤔 I'm confused.

[@MarlenaStell]

I’m not getting divorced 😬 I did get divorced in the past though

[@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 :)

[@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!!❤❤

[@hotgurly213]

Is there anyyyy way you can make a video like this but for men? maybe with your husband? i want to buy my hubby cologne but i have no idea what HE would like as a man lol i know what i like but yeah lol ❤️ love youuuu

[@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 😢

[@Clau-tl1qb]

Thanks for this lovely video! I just got the Diptyque you recommended since I love vanilla scents, Xo love u Marlena! 🥰

[@vickigoodenough702]

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

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

[@Kippums]

Yeah these are all too expensive to relate. 😂 Make a list for affordable perfumes

[@MarlenaStell]

The brand Bon Parfuemer has some great ones for $50 and they have at Nordstroms. I love all of them!

[@jenniferingramakajlynnsnai8184]
