The First 10 Perfumes I Would Re-Purchase If I Lost My Whole Collection // Realistically!!

[@shortstacked1980]

Dior addict has been my scent for over 15 years there is something so cozy about the dry down …my daughter who’s 12 went shopping for Mother’s Day and they tried to sell her the pink bottle of addict and she was like nope that doesn’t smell like my mother lol ❤

[@connieh2999]

[@SarahMayes]

That is amazing! She will have that scent memory for the rest of her life. 🥰

[@nathalie2241]

I can’t live without Dior Addict!

[@Danit.Talkscentswithme]

Same!! 🩷

[@SarahMayes]

❤️❤️❤️

[@sherlcollins7011]

Same!!!

[@singerstylistjennifer1654]

Great Topic Sarah! So here's my top 5 Right Away Replacements: 1. Poem by Lancôme 2.Jasmine Macaron by Kyse 3. Coco by Chanel 4. Egyptian Musk by Kumba 5. Pure Grace by Philosophy

[@clarebrad6002]

I’ve just managed to purchase a 100ml of addict 2002 it’s absolutely gorgeous

[@SarahMayes]

Yay! What an amazing find! ❤️

[@cocopepper71677]

Definitely Love Edp from Victoria's Secret. I wear it almost every day and it's just "Me" in a bottle. very feminine, cozy, easy, the perfect signature in every way. I love Women's Secret I got that one from you! Eau So Sexy from Victoria's Secret is an instant re-purchase too, I got it after you, and I'm so glad because it's one of my favorites. This one is silly: but I would absolutely need bottles of Selena Gomez Edp. It's one of my ride or die reaches even though it's very basic. Imagine like a cocoa scented shampoo and some clean musk. It's such a good hidden gem imo as long as it works with your skin chemistry! Thank you for sharing🌺

[@SarahMayes]

[@ashley.a.free10]

Poeme, Anais Anais, KK Pure Honey, Quelques Fleurs Jardin Secret, Dior Roses N Roses. My top picks and they're all heavily available. Interesting about Rhubarb in 🐇 I detect this too. I love the wax melt on yours-- It looks like ice cream you want to eat! 🌹💕

[@hollyaynkidwell3445]

Addict & Libre Intense are at the top of my list, too!

[@Mocieful]

I’m surprised none of the Burberry perfumes made the cut! Love the Burberry house. ❤

[@carlums30]

Well the first that came to mind was good ol' Chanel Chance 🤠 because it's one of the best on me and I crave it constantly. Addict and Dua Hypnotizing Venom are staples always. ❤ And KK Pure Honey, big favorite as of late.

[@candicejurko6079]

I appreciate the shout out! You know I could add a booze note to any scent and some special fall scents are coming including some new pumpkin scents.

[@SarahMayes]

I am so excited! I have been waiting to pull out my CJ scents and I even wore one in 95 degree heat. I think they are perfect the way they are! ❤️🥰

[@candicejurko6079]

I would love to do a collaboration with you

[@MissScentimental]

Ouuu I love these kind of videos ! My top replacements would probably be: Ani - Intense Cafe - Pas Ce Soir - Lune Feline - Oud Satin Mood - Sweet Diamond Pink Pepper - and already obsessed with Burberry Goddess. 🤎

[@joanmcevoy1275]

That'a a great question.... Probably Casmir, Lord of Misrule, 4160 Tuesdays Sexiest Scent on the Planet, Shalimar, Coco, Classique, Samsara. Lots of my classics.

[@mellyreich10]

Starting from scratch? Most significant to me and NOT discontinued gems are Libre, No 5 Eau Premiere, Organza, Montale Vanille Absolu, Parfum d'Empire Equistrius, Arden Green Tea Bamboo, Al Rehab Choco Musk, Joop, and Adam Levine Women, Royal Rebel from Good Chemistry. I enjoy a lot of what you picked out.-lindita

[@SarahMayes]

❤️❤️❤️

[@sandiepipkin2119]

Yes I would also definitely need Dior Addict and MM By the Fireplace. I also would need Al Haramain Musk Oil (original) but I do not see it anywhere anymore. I wore Like This yesterday

[@SarahMayes]

By the Fireplace should definitely be on my list! ❤️

[@StephanieLaight]

Libre Intense would always have to be in my collection. It’s my best ever blind buy, an instant love! ❤

[@SarahMayes]

❤️🥰❤️🥰

[@kara8911]

I’ve seen others do this video and I always enjoy the concept and to see what others choose. I’m not sure I could figure out mine right away but off the top of my head I can think of a few. Nishane Ani, Angel Muse (edt or edp whichever I can find), kismet angel, modest Deux, Lalique amethyst, and Lira (or a dupe).

[@sherlcollins7011]

I just ordered kismet angel!! Hope I love it , it just came back in stock on fragrancebuy:) lira is another love of mine I can’t live without

[@kara8911]

@@sherlcollins7011 if you like angels share you’ll love it!

[@tatianacatherine5070]

I adore Pumpkin Tobacco from CJ. 🌲 🧡 I'm so excited to wear it this Fall! 😍

[@SarahMayes]

Yay! Me too! ❤️🥰

[@sherlcollins7011]

Dior addict is my number 1 fragrance ever , on the planet! All because I watched your videos , I just love it so much 😊😊😊😊

[@SarahMayes]

🥰🥰🥰

[@mrs.61480]

Stella definitely comes first, then I would have to spend all night tracking down a bottle of D&G Rose the One or a copy of it because that perfume is the second best thing next to stella , then Chloe, Amarige, Coco Mademoiselle, Bal d'Afrique, Noa, Dame Black Flower Mexican Vanilla. Your love for Dreamhouse is beautiful, I have the rose watermelon one on my list

[@lisabafundo4355]

Casual by Paul Sebastian. My all time signature scent.

[@MinhSen11]

What a difficult question! 1. House of Matriarch Kazimi 2. House of Nocturne Alchemy Moonstone (vanilla) oil 3. Pure Mysore Sandalwood oil (maybe from Nature's Gift) 4. eNVie Saphir Rose oil 5. Solstice Scents Amber Coeur

[@Ihavenoideawhatthisevenis]

I absolutely knew dior addict would be on this list❤ I've seen your absolute love for this in sooooo many videos lol.

[@SarahMayes]

❤️❤️❤️

[@laurens_perfume_closet296]

Armani She, MMM By the Fireplace, Rose Jam, Omnia Amethyst, Lolita Lempicka, Katy Perry Indi. These are the most me.

[@blakemeyer472]

If I had to start from scratch my first perfume buy would be Nude by Bill Blass, RL Safari, Revlon Unforgettable, Molecule 01, Gucci Guilty absolute Pour femme , Pink Sugar, Houbigant Orangers en Fleurs , J Lo Still, Infusion d'Iris and Lalique le parfum

[@ildolce204]

Hypnotic Poison (also The vintage one) and givenchy ange ou demon le secret elixir, I love that one

[@wonderfulworld7414]

I really enjoyed this video, even if many perfumes are unknown to me, I guess American brands. I would always replace Le jardin de m Li Hermes, Allure Edp Chanel, Mediterranean Honeysuckle Aerin, and the beloved disconyinued Dior hypnotic poison Eau secrete 2013 such a loss and the best in the Poison series for me. 😭 If someone knows a dupe for it please let me know❤

[@juliacalman4069]

I adored YSL Manifesto. Perfumes I would repurchase right away are Dior Addict and Lolita Lempicka. Terre d'Hermes too, even though it's for men I have loved wearing it for years, and hands down it's the best vetiver scent. 🖤

[@SarahMayes]

I adore Terre d’Hermes too! ❤️

[@wonderfulworld7414]

Same here, love to wear it, i think its absolutely unisex, smells great, the only problem with it is that in Paris all men wear it and look at you in a strange way if you wear it as a woman😂

[@juliacalman4069]

I love that! :) I love wearing A*Man and Pure Havane too. Wonderful for men, even better on a woman's skin! @@wonderfulworld7414

[@carlyfried630]

Excluding my discontinued ones. Rose Jam, Eden, Baby Soft, Gabrielle, #22, 1957, Addict, Kiehl's, Feminité du Bois, Passion. ❤

[@laurieeyebee]

Interesting; you've got me thinking! Fortunately my sense of smell is almost all back from covid, and today I grabbed a busy-day warm weather scent, Avon Sweet Honesty. I've loved it for 50 years and after reading about the notes, I appreciate it even more. So start my list off with that. Now< glancing at my dressing table, I'd run out and get Clinique Aromatics Elixir and pricey Annick Goutal Mandragore. Kate Spade's Walk on Air makes the list as does Love's Baby Soft for the nostalgia alone. I too adore Poison and would pick that up. Shame they trashed it. I think Dune's been reformulated too, don't know if there's a dupe. Agent Provocateur is a favorite colder weather perfume. And I'd start searching for Coriandre. Have you tried the Burberry Goddess yet? I haven't been anywhere to do so. I would probably get a Philosophy Amazing Grace. Years ago I wore Jardins de Bagatelle and got many compliments...wonder how that would smell on me now. Would like to try it again.

[@elizabethw.454]

How long did it take your smell to come back?? I'm dealing with it right now.

[@laurieeyebee]

It was quick -- 3 or 4 days.@@elizabethw.454

[@SarahMayes]

I haven’t smelled Goddess yet because like you I haven’t been anywhere but I have a sample coming to me! ❤️

[@wonderfulworld7414]

​@@elizabethw.454 for some a few months, me it's beeen more than a year and it's not back to normal as before, sometimes it disappears, sometimes it comes back strongly, I'm losing hope😢

[@crislovesmakeup]

A couple that come to mind for me to replace immediately would be BDK Gris Charnel, Jennifer Lopez Still, Givenchy Hot Couture EDT & Ralph Lauren Blue.

[@eleanorhahn246]

I wish they would. bring back Manifesto I still have my bottle of L’Eclat which I savor but I miss the whole creation I would need: Miyake L'eau d'Issey- a staple and I prefer the EDP it's more laid back than the famous EDT :) Elizabeth Arden Green Tea- My favorite of all time, meditative and beautiful. Benetton Hot- one I've been buying for years. Very close to Allure but more wearable for my taste and affordable Guerlain Samsara - I'll take any form of Samsara I love them all my favorite Guerlain ever

[@jaymeel7464]

That's a gorgeous realistic list. I would want Orlov Orlov Paris. I couldn't imagine losing that from my wardrobe. I also woudl need Gabrielle and 11 11! 💖

[@SarahMayes]

❤️❤️❤️

[@xanvask5142]

As soon as i saw you pull out the dior addict perfume and describe it as a me fragrance i immediately had to subscribe 🤣

[@SarahMayes]

Welcome! ❤️

[@catladyrhonda9904]

LouLou for sure. One of the first love affairs I had w/ a perfume.💯💯💯 L'Heure Bleue. 💙 Vanilla Chantilly by DSH (a vanilla obsession I'm on). when they reformulated Addict I used to buy Xoxo heartbeat (practically identical) for $10. I still prefer old Addict. Because you can't find Versace Blonde (another big love of mine) Solstice Nightgown comes pretty close in comparison. lastly I gotta go w/ Alkemia’s pi in the sky- imagine 80s aldehydes with a modern gourmand

[@Ihavenoideawhatthisevenis]

I think if I lost everything my top list would definitely have to be 1) Shaghaf oud by Swiss Arabian - It is the very first middle eastern fragrance I've ever tried. And its worth every wingle penny. Everything about that fragrance is pure magic. I feel like a mysterious, Arabian princess when wearing it. 2) Scent in shock for her - by police. To me, that fragrance is just so beautiful and sooo sexy! It's grown, without being dated or mature. 3) Dolce and Gabbana the one - It was the very first high end fragrance I ever owned. It was so special because it was gifted by my mom. I absolutely adore everything about that fragrance,and I really feel like it works in every single season. 4) Jennifer Aniston - Chapter One - it is so beautiful, and to me, one of the most perfect beach fragrances. 5) Lattafa - QAA'ED. Omg. To me, Christmas in a bottle! But isn't sickly sweet or overbearing, which I absolutely love about it! Perfectly unisex which I adore. 6) La vie est belle - Lancôme - I don't care what anyone says. That fragrance is popular for a reason. It's absolutely luxurious, beautiful, pretty, and it's pure femininity in a bottle. 7) Alien or Angel by Thierry Mugler - I have to have one or the other, absolutely nothing smells like them. Absolute staple. 8) Good girl by Carolina Herrera - that fragrance is outstanding on my skin,and works so well with my body chemistry. I'm always getting compliments when I wear it. It's unique, it's sexy, and it's unforgettable. 9) Vera Wang Rock princess - I have a ton of memories, and family tied to that fragrance. Every time I get a whiff, it brings me back to times when life was much happier for me. When most of my family was together and still alive. 10) And lastly, if I had to say, it would be Paris Hilton by Paris Hilton for women. That was one of the first Fragrances my sister ever bought for me. It always reminds me of feminine fabric softener sheets. I seriously love it. I always feel so clean when I put it on. Also, it's one of those Fragrances I never have to think about before I spray it, I know I will always enjoy it.

[@SarahMayes]

That is an amazing selection! ❤️🥰

[@shandechris4214]

Hi Sarah, I was wondering if you'd do a video about "If a perfume were a song, which would it be?" To me since Donna Karen Cashmere Mist is a winter time scent, it reminds me of "Waltz of the flowers" from the Nutcracker.😜

[@izzybitsyspider03]

I bought Katarina Light Blue because of you and just got it today. It smells so delicious. I love it! Now I need to try that Womens Eau My Secret 😮

[@SarahMayes]

Yay! I am so glad you like it! It’s such an inexpensive little gem. ❤️

[@sherlcollins7011]

Which one is better? Eau my secret or Katerina light blue ?

[@isadoralovesperfume.7919]

Hey Sarah! That's a perfect list. I love that you approached it from a realistic pov. 😊 Yup, Lush Vanillary would be the first I would grab, too! Cannot be without that perfume. 😊 CJ Scents Lemonilla and Kuumba Made Egyptian Musk would come right after! 😊And I think I would have to include Pure Poison though I would prefer the old formula.

[@SarahMayes]

I need to pick up Lemonilla! I have heard so many good things. ❤️🥰

[@lucillequinones2158]

Amarige, Alien, Noa. 💖hands down. x

[@lucillequinones2158]

Actually swap out Noa for Ghost Deep Night

[@julieschnorenberg5370]

Paul Smith Rose, Rouge by Narciso Rodriguez, Stella (I would just hunt one down!),Lolita Lempicka EDT, La Petite Robe noir and Insolencwe for winter, Hermès Jardin sur le Toit and Trussardi Delicate Rose for summer, Love, Chloe or just the original EDP of Chloe and Manifesto! Maybe I should get that Eau my Secret?? Thanks, Sarah!❤️🌹

🥰🥰🥰

[@sharonlee2005]

I am with you on dior addict, cannot get any of the dreamhouse as they do not ship to Canada, love vanillary, I have and love manifesto, but I got the womans secret and it did not smell the same to me, I do not like, any of the libres even though I have two of them, I like dior hypnotic poison but don't have the original, I have and love poison girl which I love, for a vanilla I love tihota , and I do not like floral so I would not care to replace one although I have some now.

Hello new to your channel. Can you please do an perfume oil version. A al rehab oil or perfume version. For those of us on a strict budget. I bought choco musk oil first time and love at first sniff. I also bought perfume based on your recommendation. I have kuumba vanilla bean, vanilla musk and bought vanilla musk based on your recommendation. I want to buy La vanilla vanilla and Gale Hayman delicious vanilla is it discontinued? Do you have a winter vanilla recommendation?

[@velvettrance3173]

Sarah I will be forever grateful to you for putting me onto Women's Secret! Could you compare Lush Vanillary to Lavanilla Pure Vanilla? Do you think if you like one would you probably like the other? While I'm at it, would love to see a whole "if you like this, you'll probably like this" video, if you ever feel like it. Thank you for another wonderful video! 💗💗💗

[@SarahMayes]

Hi Love! I can definitely do a video like that. 🥰 Vanillary and Pure Vanilla don’t smell alike at all but they are definitely the same kind of perfumey vanillas. I do think if you like one you would like the other. ❤️

[@sweetox_9690]

What a scary thought 😨 If I had to pick 10 to start out I would go with the following in no particular order: 1. Guerlain Gourmand Coquin 2. Guerlain SDV 3. Dior Addict 4. Kilian Princess 5. Thierry Mugler Alien Essence Absolute 6. Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille 7. Lolita Lempicka L De 8. Kayali LoveFest Burning Cherry 9. Kerosene Unknown Pleasures 10. Calvin Klein Eternity I pray I never have to do this and neither does anyone else in this comment section!

[@mellyreich10]

I love Eternity and Eternity moment.

[@sweetox_9690]

@@mellyreich10Me too. It was my signature in middle school. I have yet to try Eternity Moment. I blind bought Eternity Intense and resold it shortly after. It had zero Eternity dna I was very confused as to why it was even a flanker. Personally I really dislike when a brand makes a complete different fragrance and calls it a flanker. It needs to have some resemblance to the OG. How does Moment compare to the original Eternity?

[@jeanettemarkley7299]

No particular order: Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Intense Chanel Coco EDP Chanel No 19 EDP Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Narciso Rodriguez For Her EDT Scandal Jean Paul Gaultier Givenchy L'Interdit EDP Rouge Issey Miyake L'eau d'Issey YSL Libre Intese Elizabeth Arden White Tea EDP

[@kim.young.]

do you have any better recommendation for hypnotic poison dupe other than la rive? I have la rive and I love it, but if there's something better I'll buy it! 🥰🥰thank you. I haven't tried dua perfume but do you have video comparing la rive and dua perfume?

[@SarahMayes]

Hi there! I just tested the Dua HP dupe and it’s a clone of the original formulation and it’s amazing. It performs super well and I would recommend it over the La Rive any day. ❤️

[@elizabethokoro285]

WOULD you you happen to have any recommendations for perfumes similar to dior addict? like a cheaper alternative? i love dense sweet perfumes like i have dior hypnotic poison too which i love love

Its crazy how all these new formulations are all trash. CK One was the bomb back then and today its not the same imo. If I could hoard old bottles of Ck one that would be amaze

Sarah Is that hypnotic poison the edt or edp ?

Hi Sarah I really like Eau My Secret But find it weak on me. Is Armaf Enchanted Katarina Light Blue a good alternative?

[@SarahMayes]

Hi there! I would say yes but it performs much the same. You have to really overspray. It’s richer than Eau My Secret though so I think you would like it better. ❤️

Yes! Sadly a ton of Dior has been butchered. Addict is still good thank goodness but Hypnotic Poison is trash now. 😭
