Thanks for mentioning me. That Lola bottle is so kitschy - love when you pull that one out. I was surprised to hear you mention Aura as your intro to Mugler, I would have thought Angel was. I still enjoy Aura! So interesting! 🥰

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Aura was the one that got me hooked and then I retried everything else, Womanity was my second purchase and then Angel, but weirdly I was so hesitant with Alien, and now, I regret not finding it earlier and getting a full bottle of the older formulation. 😥

Flash! Just found this tidbit re Hermes. "Hermès is primarily owned by the Hermès family, which through its holding company, H51, holds the majority of the company's stake. Hermès is one of the few luxury brands that remained independent from large groups like LVMH. Yet, by 2023, the Arnault family, which owns LVMH, amassed a stake in Hermès of around 20%. This prompted the Hermès family to consolidate its ownership in a new holding to prevent the takeover from Bernard Arnault. In 2022, Hermès generated €11.6 billion in revenue and €3.36 in profits." This article was dated June 18, 2023.

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Yes I think I found a similar thing when I made that conglomerate brands video. LVMH attempted a hostile takeover of Hermès, which was thankfully resisted ☺️ lovely that one big brand is just itself.

Oh, this was quite personal ! I feel like having spent half an hour with you over coffee, discussing fragrances and our taste. Chanel is among the most important fragrance houses in the world. But some of their most hyped fragrances are quite simply dated and unbearable. No.5 being the one in question. I find Coco Madmoiselle Intense and Coco Noir absolutely irresistible. Their Chance Eau Tendre EDT, Chance Eau Friache EDT and Chance EDT are very enjoyable. Dior's Miss Dior Bloooming Bouquet is uncomonly fine ! YSL Libre Intense is a standout from the line ! Gucci Guilty Elixir is strong and assertive, but quite special. JPG's Le Beau line is too weak for todays standards. EDT in particular. Overall, this was very intersting confession. Enjoyable, no question !

[@dr.claire.perfume]

I do really enjoy Chanel nowadays and I own and wear all 5 that I have. My favourites are Coco and Coco Mademoiselle intense. I think with Dior I just really like the Privée line, although I wouldn't say no to a bottle of Pure Poison still. With Gucci, I really like Bloom Ambrosia Di fiori, but I don't need more than one Bloom flanker in my life... I have way too much fragrance as it is 🤦‍♀️

[@cp_honey]

Chanel and Guerlain is what I lean towards the most, then Dior. While JPG and Roberto Cavalli are actually houses that never quite worked out for me. 🤷‍♀ I only ever tried Black Perfecto because of you (and my indominable urge to buy stuff) and with it got to enjoy the whole LPRN line, after not loving the original years ago I had missed out on beautiful flakers like Légère and Black Perfecto Florale. The new dress on the packaging looks so much better imho, now I'm tempted by the EdT. And LPRN Intense is so different indeed, the patchouli surprised me.

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Aah wow, that's interesting! I also haven't loved Roberto Cavalli from what I've tried and most of JPG also hasn't been for me, I think if I tried more Guerlain, it would just be a rabbit hole 😂 I'm happy that you enjoyed Black Perfecto 🖤 Thanks for watching 🥰

[@jasonmelo1974]

Noir de noir is so damn good! I bought the 5 oz body spray, it's strong enough that's all you need! I think I paid $60 for it. Same with the tobacco vanille, also black orchid. I have all three in body sprays and they are definitely strong enough!

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Oh! I didn't even know they had a bodyspray! I will check that out. NdN is soooo good! Red wine and dark chocolate and vampires 🦇 I tried the Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Woman clone of it but it just wasnt quite there, pretty good for sure, definitely nice, but just lacking a bit of magic ✨ And wow I love Black Orchid too 😍 such a stunner!

11:37 It hasn’t been reformulated under the BP name, but it has been replaced by the new LPRN Absolue

[@dr.claire.perfume]

I only said that I thought it had been reformulated because I sent someone a sample of mine and then later gave them a bottle because they liked it so much and they compared the two and said it was slightly different. But yes, there's the new version out now too! I find it odd how the bottles all look virtually identical now. The colours and different dresses made them distinctive! Thanks for watching 🥰

[@TheSmokey1523]

The Soie Malaquais bottle was a mega draw to me even though I’m not a huge sandalwood fan. I would love to find a similar bottle to collect though. I highly thumbs up the Kelly Caleche, as I got a .50 ounce travel spray for a good price on fragrance net. I even started liking Eau de Narcisse Bleu recently after blind buying a travel spray. At first I found it musty, dusty blue but it surprised me with a nicer happier ending.

I've tried or have at least half of Miller Harris's. Those 10ml bottles can often be found in sets cheaply and TK Maxx regularly gets a load of 50 or 100ml bottles in. Anyway, I love Violet Ida. Reminds me of Dior Homme Intense a bit but possibly better. Other than that my preference goes to the citrussy ones like Citron Citron, Reverie De Bergamote, Le Pamplemousse and Le Jasmin. Leather Rouge and the rest of the black label ones (though sometimes they change the labels) are nice but I haven't worn them enough to get a real idea

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Violet Ida is a wow, I agree! I've not tried any of the others except reverie de bergamot which was a bit too dense of the musk for me, but I would love to try leather rouge, I've heard great things about that one.

La petite robe noir intense is not what I would call sweet. It's got a slight masculine feel to it but still being feminine. the blueberry note is absolutely gorgeous. this one projects like crazy.. slightly sweet, but not intensely sweet

[@jcjccmz]

This is such a great conversational video -- by which I mean, it would be so much fun to chat with you about your choices and such. For example, I would highly recommend the L'Interdit Rouge if you're choosing just one from Givenchy; it is by far the best fragrance from the brand and it is one of my top 5 at the moment! And I laughed out loud with shock when I saw the bottle of the JPG fragrance you would choose because it is probably the classiest of his horrible gaudy/tacky bottles, lol, while still being equally/highly risque, haha!

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Thank you 🤣 I literally have no one in my day to day life who has more than a vague interest in fragrance. People think I'm nuts 🤣 l'interdit rouge is definitely coming home with me at some point. I filmed a video about everything that came into my collection this year a few weeks back and that shocked me enough to hold off for a bit on another purchase. I have finished a few fragrances this summer though so at least they are rotating. LOL JPG aren't great are they?! 🤣

[@wyattearpswoman838]

Noir de Noir is stunning, and worth it in my opinion. However, there is a 1 to 1 dupe called Club de Nuit Intense by Armaf that actually projects more and lasts longer. I have both and use the CDNI to top up on days that I wear NdN. I also have Noir Pour Femme, Sahara Noir (my HG) and all the Orchids but I love the Soleil the very best!😁

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Yes!!! Club de nuit intense woman is absolutely fab isn't it? Not exactly the same, and linear sadly but so good! I was really impressed by it ☺️ Do you have velvet orchid Lumiere by any chance? Is it worth looking for?

Oh, Claire! How I wish we were within easy shipping locales -- I have a brand new bottle of LVEB L'Eclat purchased last year from Ulta and I've sprayed maybe 3-4 times, and I love it! But it's hard to remember to reach for it when I keep it in the fridge and I have others others out that I am "working on" lol. I would be happy to swap 10-30mls of it for some of the Marc by Marc Jacobs, which used to be my signature scent for over a decade. My last bottle went bad during a phase when I wasn't wearing much perfume and I was keeping it in a very sunny bathroom (clueless at the time) and I ended up tossing the whole thing 2 years ago, and it was still pretty full. I was crying when I went to Sephora to replace it and it was nowhere in sight. 😢

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Oh thank you ❤️ I actually just sprayed that Marc Jacobs about 2 hours ago, I felt a sudden urge to wear it, but I would gladly share some. Yes, the shipping regulations on fragrance to and from the UK are insane... I have my dupe oil so no worries, not quite the same but it's gets there after a few hours 🤣 Storage is something people don't think about until they have something go off. It's really heartbreaking. I only had one turn a little on me and that was DKNY be delicious maybe over a decade ago, I remember using the last 5ml very quickly because I knew it would only get worse...

Oh I love LPRNI, the cassis really helps give some green crispness to the sweet, cotton candy blueberry. I found a travel spray and have used it very sparingly since it’s hard to find. Love it! My other favorite, being Womanity (and especially when paired with Versace Versense) seems to be unavailable here in the States.. ugh! It’s really my perfect fig! I adored Gucci Rush when it first came out.. well before my journey into the world of fragrance. I’ve since purchased a badly reformulated (although there’s debate surrounding if it’s been reformulated) version and find it rather plasticy and jarring.. although it will always be in my favorite nostalgic scents. I honestly cannot handle Vanilla 28 or Deja Vu; both pull so musty / dusty on me. I sort of like Invite Only, although I will say their atomizers are HORRIBLE. I actually like the Utopia, Pink Pepper and Royal Sugared Patchouli (I’m terrible with remembering the names!) I fell in love with Hermes 24 Faubourg surprisingly.. sampled because of Princess Diana.. and didn’t hate it! Layered with Libre Intense is literally angelic! Also love the icy crispness of Hermes Mervielles Bleue. Ps. I’m 100% with you on the Pure Poison! Masterpiece.

Yeah Guerlain re released LPRN intense here and it just wasn't as loved second time around, I don't know if it was reformulated. Either way, I'm kicking myself that I didn't buy a bottle when I saw one secondhand a few months before this video. 🤦‍♀️ Gucci Rush has certainly been reformulated, Gucci even changed the official notes listed! I mean that's pretty blatant! Kayali have gone a bit crazy recently, I've completely lost track with their releases. I think they might do better to release fewer fragrances per year. I've been curious to try 24 Faubourg and have almost bought some partial bottles a few times now.

There is No tannery sharpness but the leather is obvious. I used up my whole sample immediately and keep missing Galop but can’t decide if I want to buy a decant or try to find a second hand bottle or what. It’s pricey.

Oh yes! I remember trying Gallop when I was in a store that was closing down! I'd never seen it before and the design of it intrigued me, it was indeed leathery.

I loved your video! My favourite brand is Dior and also Marc Jacobs has a special place in my heart, although I don't use MJ perfumes as often as I did in the past. Pure Poison is one of the best perfumes out there, even in its reformulated, watered down version, and if I had to use one perfume for the rest of my life I would probably choose PP. If you ever decide to add it to your collection, try to find the older version, the one with the white cap..

Hi Claire 🌹I thought about you when I saw a used bottle of Lola at a flea market in Istanbul 😊I remember it’s your signature fragrance and it’s discontinued. There were so many tables with used fragrances and for a fraction of the price of the full brand new bottle. I wished I could get a few but my suitcase is getting heavy 😂 Someone was selling a large size half full bottle of Olympea Intense for $15! There were also lots of tester bottles of designer fragrances like Dior Addict, etc. I’ve never seen anything like this in US, but then again I’ve never been to a flea market before. My SOTD is LPRN Intense, the blueberry one. It’s the only one I kept from my collection because it’s a travel size. I think you will like it because it’s not very sweet and it has a bit of a male cologne vibe, just a tad, enough to make it interesting. I miss Mon Guerlain 😢one day I’ll own it again.

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Hi Yulia! Wow, I love flea markets, a good one is fascinating! I'd feel ok buying a partial bottle of something and they sound a good deal, but I'd be wary of the full testers, did you think they looked legit? I'd love a bottle of Addict at a good price. I see a lot of Addict on eBay (not testers, just full bottles) and I always wonder whether they are real, some are obviously not, others could be. Wow, what a coincidence, I still really want to try that one... Lprn intense just seem to be one I never buy, perhaps because someone told me they hated it and it made me wonder whether it would be nice for a bit, but the desire to try it is strong again 🤣 I bought Terracotta finally today, I totally forgot about that one, that was definitely one I could have picked for Guerlain too and yes Mon Guerlain is dreamy ☺️ Hope you are still having a good time.

It will come as no surprise to anyone who has read my past comments that my favorite house is Guerlain. After that, I'd have to say Chanel. And I have several perfumes from Tiziana Terenzi, Histoires de Parfums, Hermes and Alghabra. Regarding Givenchy, I don't dislike the perfumes; I just don't seem to click with any of them except L'Interdit and Fleur L'Interdit. I'd be interested in trying all of the flankers out now. For YSL, I love the earlier perfumes (and his fashion), but am not too impressed with the current crop, although I have the Nuit Blanche and Intense Black Opium flankers. Saharienne is also interesting; named after one of his famous fashions -- the safari jacket. Dior -- I kind of hunt and peck through the fragrances. Miss Dior Cherie and Fève Délicieuse are favorites as well the original and Hypnotic Poison. I'd like to track down the Pure Poison/Elixir as well. Houses I don't really care for are Lancome (way too sweet for me), JPG, Marc Jacobs, Gucci (except for the Alchemist line), Kayali, Mancera/Montale, Burberry and Carolina Herrera.

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Yes! I know you love Guerlain! I think Hermes really stand out as having quite a different house style from other designers, I guess because they don't currently belong to a conglomerate brand perhaps? It's strange, but I had never heard of Alghabra until a week ago and now three people have mentioned them. I have never tried any TT but when my ankle is better I know a store with them in so I will go sample some. I think a lot of designer houses have just got less daring and less interesting. There are a lot of very safe but quite boring fragrances out there. I think out of Chanel, Dior and YSL, Dior are my current favourite, but that's perhaps because I haven't tried YSL's more expensive fragrances. Thanks for watching 🥰

Thank you Claire. I recently discovered your channel and have watched a few, found them interesting. I am tempted to buy one or two fragrances but really want to discover something that I love and not just from hearing about them or indeed be tempted by the brand or bottle design. In the past I have stayed away from the main classic brands, and gone for the niche ones like Goutal, Jo Malone, Miller Harris, Diptique, Byredo, Stella McCartney (sadly discontinued). I would be interested to hear about these brands if you would consider a video with them in it. Also it would be very helpful to learn and be more discerning about perfumes that suit different lifestyles, e.g. I used to have a corporate job but now I teach and work from home. Also don't have as much social life as used to - more likely to entertain at home, dinner parties etc., and so I wouldn't like very strong powdery, woody, oriental, spicy ones, although I would like to learn more if you are looking to build a video about lifestyle and fragrances. Thank you for reading.

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Hello! Yes sampling is the way to go for sure 😊 in this Saturday's video I talk about a miller Harris fragrance and a few weeks ago I spoke about Diptyque. I have been testing some Byredo. I will hopefully get to the other brands eventually... Thank you for your comments about the types of fragrances that you might want to wear and would be interested in hearing about.

I agree, I found this really hard to choose and I've really not tried a huge range of Guerlain fragrances so I felt like I was choosing from very limited experience.

[@mohdfarid9980]

Terre de Hermes parfum could be possibly the one from the house of Hermes that i like most. Jean Claude Ellena is a kind of cool guy with interesting and likeable personality. He wrote books about perfume and the guy himself never wears perfume in his life. It smells refreshing and mature. Very wearable in the office. Much much better than the aventus creed i think. I also just dicovered Givenchy L’interdit EDP Rouge by Dominique Ropion. I love the smell and it is very seductive. I dont know if a gentleman can wear this scent. This fragrance is a top choice to buy if you want to give to female friends or relatives. It is not pricey but still very impressive imho. Long before i started my journey into fragrances i have impression that designer fragrances are too mass appealing , short lasting and boring. I’ve started my journey with niche fragrances first but after listening to your videos and other reviews I started to appreciate and open up slowly to designer fragrances. There must be gems somewhere waiting to be discovered. For Chanel, so far for me it is Cuir de Russie. It is classic. For Dior, i dont like any of the Sauvages. Maybe Tobacolor. But im curious about the New Look 2003 and the latest L’or de J’Adore by the newly appointed directeur of the house Mr Kurkdjian. So far he never dissapoints me in MFK line. If you happen to try the New Look or L’Or De J’Adore please give us a review. YSL never excites me. I dont know why. I have few Tom Fords. Ombre Leather Parfum, EDT and Tobacco Vanille were my favourites. Black Orchid too. I love the jasmine, violet leaf and orris notes in the Ombre Leather parfum. But now at this moment I would love to have Soleil Neige. Very light citrus and musky on your skin. Elegant. For Miller Haris, i like Etui Noir. Extraordinaire Orchid Leather by Van Cleef and Arpel is also lovely. Russian Tea Masque Milano by Julian Rasquinet have leather accord with raspberry. Maybe you will like it? For Guerlain I’m gravitated towards either Mitsuoko or Habit Rouge. Your description about La Petite Robe Noir is lovely and tick all the boxes. Should give this a try. I wonder if you have tried L'Heure Bleue. This is Queen Elizabeth favourite perfume. I have nothing to say about Mugler, Lancome and Marc Jacobs. Mugler Alien bottle is so ugly that it has given me bad impression on designer perfumes. Maybe i should gave them a try sometime. Kayali have many positive reviews from female reviewers. I want to try the Vanilla one. JPG Le Male will be my first choice.

[@dr.claire.perfume]

I think there are good and bad fragrances in niche and designer. I don't think price necessarily indicates quality and many brands that appear niche are actually part of bigger conglomerate brands, so the line is blurry between the two. Older designer to me is much more often something I tend to love. I am very sensitive to ambroxan and iso E super, so brands like Goldfield and Banks, BDK, PDM are things I struggle with, as well as many mainstream modern designer fragrances (e.g. Valentino, modern Mugler, Paco Rabanne). I tried Cuir de Russie at the weekend, along with the new version of New Look, I havent tried the old version of it sadly. I did review Dior j'adore l'or 2023 when it came out, it will be around 7 months back. It didn't wow me, but it is pretty and my friend at work wears it. The projection is nuclear 😂 I can smell her a 100m away, she heavily oversprays though. In the air it smells mainly of greener slightly soapy jasmine. Soleil Neige is a nice one 😊 did you try Oud Minerale yet? Étui noir is a stunner and orchid leather is my favourite from VCA. I have a set of samples for Masque Milano, I will try them and make a video eventually. I have tried l'heure bleue, it was fine but wasn't a love for me. I appreciate Guerlain. I know they have got very expensive lately and less incentive but I still like them. Vintage Alien is a stunner! Really one I always feel powerful wearing. 😊 The new version, not so much. 😂 Thanks for watching 🥰

[@mohdfarid9980]

@@dr.claire.perfume just bought Soleil Neige and it is very nice albeit not long lasting. It is suitable to wear in a cool weather or when you are skiing in Alps during sunny time. Oud Minerale is a masculine scent in my opinion. It smells of sea water, metallic and oozonic to me. I would prefer gentle fluidity silver by MFK, Green Irish Tweed and Cool Water by Davidoff rather than Oud Mineral for the price point. I would love to wait on your review on Masque Milano perfumes. Hope you can settle down quickly with your new laptop.

@@dr.claire.perfumeFor Xerjoff I would say Dama Bianca and Lira are a safe bet. Especially if you don't want something beastmode. Dama Bianca is not an overboard sweet vanilla and an easy reach. Lira is kinda soft and the lemon poundcake drizzled in caramel is a good description. I got Dolce Amalfi a couple of weeks ago and that one has great longevity on me. I get a nice juicy fruitiness, it still feels fresh, but a little spicy. I really like Itallica in the colder months. It's a shape shifter that smells like almond biscotti's, then it gets almost cherry boozy, then it's buttery or powdery... (Over spraying it would make me nauseous...) Loved wearing Cruz del Sur 2 this Summer, but it is sweet and powerful (mango milkshake). Shunkoin has a tea like feel, not sweet, sometimes a little milky. I could easily see a man really liking it as well. Makes me think of a trip by a rainy tropical beach in Asia.

Yeey new video! Off topic but what foundation do you wear? 🤓😍

[@dr.claire.perfume]

I wear a really cheap one 🫢 I have super oily skin so I wear a matte one, Revolution Conceal and Define in F4, it's mainly ok, but it breaks up around the bottom of my nose after 4/5 hours. I'm sure there are better out there, but it's good for filming. 🥰

[@Spikypotato.]

@@dr.claire.perfume oh I love that it’s cheap, we can eat and pay the rent aswell as look fresh! Goals😂🙌🏼 I actually wore the golden oldie Revlon Colorstay foundation on my wedding day🤓 worked great! I’ll check this one out😍

[@dr.claire.perfume]

That's a classic! Yeah foundation can be crazily expensive for sure, from my experience you just need to try a few and there's usually an affordable one that works. I recently tried the new YSL one and I found it incredibly drying (and I'm oily!) and that it had very little coverage. 🤷‍♀️

hi < I really enjoyed your video about favorite fragrances for each house, I would like to say you for me from Lancome could be "eau de lancome" and "Poeme", Also I owe some fragrances from the house of Diptyque, I would suggest you to get samples< i love this brand as brings you to different places and different settings

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Thank you! ❤️ I have tried Poême, that's a classic! And ô de lancôme, if that's the one you mean? But not for a long time. Diptyque have some lovely ones 😍 I really like orphéon and also Fleur de peau. Eau capitale is beautiful too but very strong! Which would you recommend from them? ❤️ Thanks for watching 🥰

[@luncidamaksimov6782]

I love from Ditypque: eau duelle, tam Dao, and l"Ombre dans l"eau@@dr.claire.perfume

[@dr.claire.perfume]

L'ombre Dans l'eau I remember trying because found at dusk by miller Harris is compared with it. There are similarities. Tam dao I think I must have tried but I don't remember it, I will go try it again when my ankle is good again ☺️ and eau duelle is lovely! 🥰

I like Prada house very much. I'd be interested in knowing what do you think about it.

[@dr.claire.perfume]

I've owned 4 fragrances from Prada, I really liked Prada Amber and loved Prada Tendre especially, I also had the first version of Prada infusion d'iris from 2012, I finished a bottle of all three. I also had a bottle of Prada La Femme and I ended up decluttering it as I got an oil that was a clone of Chanel Beige and I thought it smelt better than la Femme. Right now, I like some of the modern infusions range. Do you have a favourite Prada fragrance? 🥰

[@chiaracoppi6668]

@@dr.claire.perfume I had Candy when I was younger and I loved it. I still own the empty bottle because I like smelling it now and then but I don't repurchase it because I can't wear it anymore.

[@dr.claire.perfume]

@@chiaracoppi6668 candy is one that I've only ever smelt in store and actually many many years ago, not recently. I did have Kenzo Flower l'elixir though, which a lot of people said was similar to Candy just with a bit of more synthetic edge to it and perhaps not as powdery. Did you ever try that one?

[@chiaracoppi6668]

@@dr.claire.perfume No, never tried it. I'll check if I can find it somewhere. Thank you for your suggestion.

[@dr.claire.perfume]

@@chiaracoppi6668 I'm sorry I think it's long discontinued, I don't think you'll find it, it was very loved though. I just thought you might have tried it if you like Candy.

[@agnesmeszaros-matwiejuk8783]

Was Found at dusk discontinued? I cannot find it anywhere online (in EU).

[@dr.claire.perfume]

If you go on the Miller Harris website and type it in to search for it, it comes up, but otherwise it's discontinued elsewhere, they just have the stock that they have and when it's gone it's gone I think. They do come up secondhand on eBay occasionally too, at least in the UK. I hope that helps. 🥰

[@Naturallyliz41]

Seeing all of your empty bottles truly amazes me

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Well I do buy a lot secondhand so with some, it's not all there to begin with. But yeah my empties have definitely slowed up with having a bigger collection now, but having said that, I did actually finish another yesterday. Usually it's the ones that don't last or the ones that I wear to bed, as I tend to run through those more quickly. I would like to get back to 100 or fewer again, I'm currently at about 116 and it feels like it's too much for me. I want to wear and enjoy everything and it's difficult when you have that many.

[@Naturallyliz41]

@@dr.claire.perfume it is definitely difficult to enjoy a large fragrance collection. I’m setting a goal to finish a few fragrances by the end of the year. I’m hoping I can do it!!!!

[@dr.claire.perfume]

I'm sure you will manage it. ☺️

[@tulipsmith2088]

Hi Claire. How many sprays do you use a day on average? Are you an over sprayer?

[@dr.claire.perfume]

I think it depends... If I'm at home or I have fragrance with me, I will reapply. When I get home from work, I often reapply or put something different on. I also wear fragrance to bed. I don't think I overspray really. It depends on what occasion it is and my mood. If I want to be noticed, I spray more. This morning I sprayed 6 times I think. But yes, it will be more when get home and more when I go to bed. Thanks for watching 🥰

[@tulipsmith2088]

Thanks @@dr.claire.perfume. Just a couple of other questions. Do you spray your clothes? If so, before or after you put them on and where?

[@dr.claire.perfume]

I don't spray on clothes in general as I worry about staining. I have quite often applied fragrance and even with spraying on skin, ended up having to change my top as fragrance got onto it and stained it...

[@tulipsmith2088]

Very interesting @@dr.claire.perfume. Thanks for the information and a great channel.

Hi Claire! 😊

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Hello! How are you? 🥰

[@bellissimabeautyblog9006]

Chanel - Chance EDP Chloe - Nomade EDP Dior - Midnight Poison, sadly discontinued, therfore I pass on this brand Carolina Herrera - Good Girl Supreme, YSL - Libre OG probably, but I can pass on it, Guerlain - LPRN Black Perfecto Givenchy - Pass😅 Lancome - Tresor La Nuit JPG -Scandal OG 💔Mugler 💔 Womanity & Angel EDP

[@bellissimabeautyblog9006]

Tom Ford - This is a hard one . I'll go with Tobacco Vanille Marc Jacobs - pass Gucci - pass Kayali - Diamond Pink Pepper Hermes - I'd rather pass, maaaybe Terre D'Hermes as it is a unisex frag in my opinion.

[@dr.claire.perfume]

I'd also choose nomade, ooh and I forgot about Chance! It's interesting isn't it that a lot of the ones we tend to like are older fragrances rather than the newer ones and that for some brands, literally nothing available excites us. I think that says a lot about these brands right now. Thanks for watching and playing along. 🥰
