I love that the last one smells “like a witch” and “like a granny”. In fact, lots were equated with granny smells. What is going on with people’s grandmas’?? My grandma always smelled nice! She wouldn’t have touched these fragrances with a 10 foot knitting needle. (She was very crafty)

[@bonaschkatze]

Outside special occasions, my grandmas mostly smelled like the delicious meals they cooked, and I honestly didn't mind that at all :)

[@MsBNoodle]

Hahaha so true my nana had GREAT taste in perfume

[@Cicelyize]

Exactly! Grandmas smelled great. Like Guerlain Apres l’Ondee and Chanel. 10 foot knitting needle 🤣

[@maisali3152]

I know what they mean, but I hate this descriptor! My grandma smelt of sandalwood and jasmine. Absolutely stunning and comforting. ❤

[@drumsofzulu]

Thank you ! I really dislike references to “grandma” smells in a negative way. Why the hatred? 😅

[@adrian-rx8rg]

would never dream of purchasing these. bottles are so garish and juvenile and make me think the fragrances inside will match

I haven’t tried any of these fragrances but I really don’t see myself buying any of these perfumes just because I think it’s so creepy with symbols and numbers and stuff. 🤭🤭🤭🤭 THANK YOU SOFIA!!! Always enjoy your videos! 🫶🏻😘

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

So glad you liked it Jessica! Thanks for sharing :)

I had a sniff of them all at Manchester Airport UK, last week 🤢 bought Guerlain Mandarin Basilic Forte instead, lovely zesty orange scent for summer 😊

Mandarin Basilic is gorgeous ☺️

Love that fragrance! One of my favourites :)

That's a good one!

[@katherineseymour6239]

Use the Guerlain fragrance often, great choice.

[@hotdawg630]

You are so good at describing fragrances. Not a lot of reviewers go into this much depth. It really helps us as consumers to decide where to spend our hard earned money. Thank you for being so honest!

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Thank you! I haven't reviewed many fragrances before but a lot of my subscribers ask me to :)

[@fairrahjackson6240]

Im currently in Madrid and popped into Sephora. I smelled all of these and they are all a hard pass. I did pick up CH 212 VIP Rosé NYC which smells wonderful!

[@zipperdidoodah5411]

Ah! Such a great video thanks Sofia. I popped into Selfridges the other week here in the UK and tried them all - the lady gave me a card for each as well, sprayed with each fragrance. Normally when I get home I can still detect the fragrance but this time there was no real definition on each card. I might try one or two on my wrist again in store but I don't think I'm going to splash out on the trial set. I love your review though! I thought she would design a sultry sexy scent called Pillow Talk or Charlotte, something she would wear herself.

[@poppylopez5233]

All I see are fragrances designed with only one thing in mind- going viral on Tiktok. Nothing at all about it tells me “I am for you, non-Tiktok using normie!”.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Haha yes unfortunately we see a lot of flashy products nowadays to try and get someone's attention in a short amount of time

[@olzhena9681]

Thanks Sofia for reviewing these fragrances. I’ll save my money and will buy some of fragrances by Fendi which they are releasing on June 20. I’m old enough to remember how luxurious and beautiful those were in 90’s when I was a teenager. 🙏🏻❤️🙌

[@lauraburke8352]

Sofia, you are so great at this!! Not sure about the CT fragrance, but a great video!

[@redmcpherson7131]

I really hate the marketing for these but loved your video as always ❤

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

So glad 😊

[@misspeachbeach7687]

I got a sample of calm bliss and joyphoria with my last order and I really love them. These seem to be fragrances that are smelling very natural to me and inoffensive. Still, they stay on my clothes for at least 24h. I purchased both in travel size, as i almost never finish a full size bottle of any perfume.

[@Cicelyize]

Charlotte Tilbury excels at reinventing the wheel and upmarketing it to the heavens with over the top wording. Not a fan. Those perfumes are the equivalent of a Zara generic concoction and 150 for that is obscene.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

She loves an all caps haha :)

[@Ikaikiastar]

Totally agree to Calm Bliss! I hate to say it, but it smelt like an air freshener! I was so disappointed as I love lavender, it's my favourite scent but it wss dominanted by the other scents

[@alya27092]

Hi Sofia, I don’t even want to see these perfumes in stores but I am here because I like your reviews and for the comments. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I don’t like CT as a brand because I have totally different aesthetics and the quality I am looking for in makeup is definitely far away from what this brand offers. But when I look at Charlotte Tilbury as a person and her makeup and now her perfumes I can’t see a discrepancy. In my opinion all her products are a reflection of her image/style or better said lack of style. I like the way you review perfumes and I hope we’ll see more reviews with niche and luxury perfumes. 🙂

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Tag me in any other perfumes you would like me to review! :)

[@Susan406]

I'm a Grandma and even I don't want to smell like a Grandma! Current fragrance is "Love" from Coach -- a strawberry & floral scent that's neither too fruity nor too flowery.

[@dibaljag8640]

I did like a couple of them and purchased 2 of the big ones. So ppl really need to try for themselves and don't be influenced for someone else's opinion.

[@randam4005]

Hahaha, you read my review of Magic Power! It wasn't Charlotte, it was really me. I smelled it in store, I haven't purchased yet. I get major Celtic goddess vibes from that scent. like Magic Power, Joyphoria, & Calm Bliss. I'm glad she made the travel sizes, I won't be picking up the larger bottles. Thanks for a laugh on a Sunday evening! 😀

[@marthadiazsantella3709]

The bottle gives me “I dream of Jeannie” vibes, not my style at all!! But wow those reviews are brutal!!! 😅😂

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

True!

[@janicecroissiert9116]

I purchased the sample scent package. Nope - none of these are for me. Cosmic Power was the absolute worse. I tossed the sample in the trash, and washed my wrists. Horrible. I did not like More Sex either (had high hopes for that one, too Smokey, too masculine)I would not buy a bottle or the travel spray. Love strong fragrances, btw. But unfortunately did not like any of these. I did not like her first fragrance she released either. The Joyphoria was the best of the bunch, but I smelled better florals, but it’s nice.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Thank you for sharing your mini review Janice!

[@jhy8191]

Tell us how you really feel Sophia 😂! I agree with you, these are generic at best and I dislike the theme and design. Even if I loved one of the scents I wouldn't buy it because I dislike the bottles so much. I also really disliked her first fragrance Scent of a Dream (which did have a beautiful bottle), maybe her taste in fragrances just doesn't line up with mine - or yours!

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

I didn't care for that one either sadly!

[@redouteshabby2024]

Loved your review! I have to say the fragrances are exactly what I expected. Her brand has gotten increasingly tacky and over the top in the last few years as has Charlotte herself in my opinion. I think she is a little late with the bottle design and should have launched in collab with Harry Potter 10 years ago.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

LOL it does give Harry Potter vibes :)

[@annemarietimmerman7213]

Loved this super good, super clear video, dear Sofia!🤩🤩🤩🤩For me, Charlotte completely missed it. I also tried these samples, very forgettable and terrible packaging. Have a wonderful day, Sofia!!!😘😘😘😘

[@nicolekryzhan3442]

Thanks for the detailed review. I was curious about these. I also do not like the bottles, but thought if they were good, I might try them. I don’t like strong scents and they all sound awful and strong. I don’t even want to try them now. Lol 😂

[@bonaschkatze]

Haven't tried them yet but I'm not motivated to do at all, they just don't give me classy vibes - neither the bottle design, nor the marketing approach in general. Twas fun seeing your view on them though, thank you :)))

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

You're welcome :)

[@Tagehano]

I enjoyed the video it was so much fun watching you reacting to each scent 😂 I hope you include more fragrance reviews in your future videos ❤

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

So glad! Tag me in any other fragrances you would like me to review

[@eileen5428]

I think many of the hyperbolic negative descriptions are in direct reaction to the hyperbolic woo-woo marketing verbiage. I get together with a couple friends every other month for lunch. Just for fun, one of the ladies brought the sampler collection and we did a blind rating. None of these scents faired well. I had to laugh at all the reviews you read that likened these to old lady scents. My gal pals and I are old ladies and we disliked every one of them 😅 The scent collection itself was a big loser, but we certainly had fun blind testing them.

[@EefVoorbraak]

Very smart, they are training us to let go of the idea of having just one signature scent. You need a scent for every emotion/occasion/time/mood, THAT’S what’s making it individualistic and personal now.

[@user-tg1kj7qi9s]

I got a “gift” with an eyeshadow purchase and it was a more sex fragrance by charlotte tillbury and OMG the horror. I agree that it just smells like leather and smoke. You described it perfectly. As soon as I tried it and was repulsed, I ran to KZbin to see what other people thought about it just to double check and make sure I wasn’t crazy because I sure had high hopes for these products. I will be throwing it away

[@ittybittytoyz1129]

Loved your review ❤ These fragrances are giving me Harry Potter vibes

[@celinag9968]

I can’t wear perfume anymore (stupid migraines) but this video was SO fun! I’m surprised these weren’t better, she hired some pretty famous noses to work on these.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

So glad you liked it! :) Yes I was surprised. I would def look past the marketing and buy maybe a travel size if I liked one because I can always be swayed with a good scent

[@MollDoll0314]

My daughter and I both don’t like any of them. Was hoping for something sweet/floral and these aren’t it 🤢🤢🤢 maybe CT release more in the future expanding her range?

[@meghess7262]

Thank you for the honest review of the perfumes.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

My pleasure 😊

[@angelawearden8092]

I have the sample set and I also don't like your bottom 2. I think they are overpowering but I don't know much about perfumes. I would love it if you could do a follow up Video of "better dupes" of them all. You mentioned a GA for Calm Bliss.

[@jileanong2842]

Really enjoyed this video and think you did a balanced review by reading out the non-incentivized reviews as well. Overall the marketing for this launch did not interest me as disliked the packaging and how the scents were marketed. But was interested to see your review in case any of the scents were hidden gems.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for sharing your thoughts on the launch

[@kari6222]

I knew these perfumes were going to be bad because she had a perfume years ago and it was terrible. My mom and I got a sample at Nordstrom and we put it on and we regretted it immediately, it was so gross. The lady that worked at the counter told us they rarely sold a bottle and when they did, it was returned every single time. So I did not trust Charlotte to make good perfumes!

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

I remember that one! Now you just reminded me that I tried it and didn't like it either.

[@mysticalcrystallover1409]

Ha ! Maybe it’s just me in the universe then that loves and owns Magic Energy and cosmic power ! I’m into Arabian fragrances however so used to these woody kind of scents . I don’t pick up any granny vibrations from either of these . I did however hate More Sex . Yikes. I think the vibe from that was from fifty shades of grey !

[@daphneedevlin7330]

Can i ask about your Lilysilk cardigan: what is the sizing like, did you size up?

[@lorrinatreadway2938]

The whole vibe reminds me of witchcraft, which is definitely not my vibe.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Fair enough Lorrina! It does give off that vibe

[@weatherandsky]

Same and even though I love her products I'm really starting to struggle with my support for the brand. The vibe goes against my beliefs.

[@anayglesias8120]

I got the magic energy, because I tried in Sephora and I feel in love, but when I use it the other day and left my home, I was pretty confident about the fragrance on me, sadly wasn’t for long, the staying power was weak, I love the fragrance but I don’t think I would buy again, is pricey for what it is.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Thank you for sharing!

[@VanessaSage]

This review was so great! Very well done and I loved that you read reviews at Sephora. Personally, I have come to not like the Charlotte Tilbury brand. It’s just slowly but surely lost me over the years. So while I have and love some of the makeup I won’t be buying anything else from the brand. All of this is to say I had no intention of buying the perfume but wanted to watch your review! :)

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

I am glad you liked it Vanessa! And thanks for sharing your thoughts also

[@VictoriaToBeauty]

Hi Sofia ! I am probably the only one but I liked the perfumes, I am considering Joyforia and Cosmic Energy in full size ! However you are right about the green one, it is so gross smelling, I had to take a shower 🤮

[@maisali3152]

Zero interest in this collection! I'm here for you and for the entertaining public reviews! 😊

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Haha fair enough! ;)

[@pamohriner6436]

Thank you for review. Except for Charlotte Tilbury's face powder and lipsticks, I am not a fan of her products . I prefer more subtle fragrances, feminine fragrances like Diptyque or Jo Malone. I really appreciate your honesty and can trust your opinion. This feels like a cash grab. Not for me. Her eyeshadows are also terrible - no pigment and get hard pan after a few swipes. I am also not a fan of pillow talk - do not like warm tone pinks. Her pencils are terrible too and they're not waterproof. I'll stick to Chanel, YSL and Dior.

[@lauraoliver7946]

Has anyone seen Boondock Saints? When I see "symbology" I think of the policemen being mocked for saying symbology instead of symbolism. Also the fictional character Robert Langdon was a professor of the fictional field of symbology. 😅

[@MsBNoodle]

I got given a couple of free samples with a purchase. I cannot STAND joyphoria. Calm Bliss is ok for me, it reminds me of something 90s/00s but not sure what.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Thank you for sharing your mini review!

[@roseg1333]

I’m not digging this line at all. It’s giving witchy witch vibes 🧙‍♀️🚫😅 it is a no from me

[@kimespe8022]

Your final thoughts on these where my initial reaction. Am am perplexed and bamboozled by these. They are in a different galaxy from the rest of the brand. Charlotte is all about the glowy pinks and feminine vibes. How did these go so wrong? Especially thinking about the packaging of her make up, and how beautiful it is. Come to think of it, the lip plumper packaging was garish and gimmicky too. Not sure what’s going on in Charlotte Tilbury land, but they need to get snap out of this phase.

[@johannahoneyman697]

I hate the packaging, I hate the marketing and I wouldn’t touch any of them with a 10 foot pole 😂

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Lol fair :)

[@sykorovabarca]

It is quite interesting, I am a big fraghead and perfume is my big hobby. I am really not into Charlotte's aesthetic in general and am not interested in them. However, people from the community rate them quite well, they are made by very esteemed most talented perfumers and they seem not to follow the copy paste formulas like the other designer brands do.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

I made sure not to watch any other reviews before I tested these just to make sure I wasn't swayed. But now I will have to check out what some of the perfume reviewers are saying.

[@shadowcat889]

Grandpa vibes is worse than granny vibes DX omg. The only one i kinda like is the pink one because i love pink and roses (i did not smell it, it's not available in my country) but yeah idk I'm not buying any of these.. there's so many other nicer perfumes thats been around for decades and actually smells nice/and some are way cheaper too.

[@AnkV]

I actually love witchy witchcraft vibes. But this are a bit meh. And I say this as a person who likes both seductive complex guerlain vanillas and also clean , pure fresh types like jo malone or dyptique

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

I agree with you. I don't mind sort of like a celestial mythical type of theme but I felt like with all the symbols and colors it's kind of too much at once.

[@chrissy_m_holmes]

I received Love Frequency from Influenster. I think it stinks. It smells like a musty grandma. 😂 As for the packaging, I don’t think it fits the vibe of the brand. It’s weird.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Thanks for sharing Chrissy!

[@dariajanus1999]

I got 2 testers (magic energy and calm bliss) of these perfumes and they are terrible... smell cheap and generally not good 😂 i think i will throw them away... too much for givenchy / guerlain perfumes fan :D

[@drnono3386]

I can't bear ay of them. Fragrance by numbers, I suppose that's what happens when you release multiple fragrances at once. CT used to be flamboyant and theatrical, but recently, the over-fragrant language just out-kitsches itself and screams CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP - which her prices are not. The opposite of luxury. I like coloured glass bottles though.

[@vaishaliwilliams7679]

They are horrible I bought the samples and I'm not buying any of them. After 5 minutes I can't even smell them.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Thanks for sharing! They were so long lasting and pungent on me 😅

[@vaishaliwilliams7679]

@SofiaSeesBeauty I wish I had that experience I guess it's my body chemistry. 😒

[@Cicelyize]

Some noses get overwhelmed and paradoxically anosmic to certain heavy hitting aromachemicals. Of which these perfumes contain a fair amount.

[@Ikaikiastar]

I tried all these on in Space.NK in the uk. I didnt like any of them at the time BUT I went back and gave them another chance. Cosmic Power and Magic Energy have really grown on me so I treated myself to Cosmic Power. I do think it's extremely over priced for what it is. More Sex made me feel ill! It smelt like a stuffy taxi cab, like a stale cigarette smell.

[@arzumgulsar6951]

Look this just sounds all gimmicky: numerology, symbology… it’s like we’ve gone to a place for a card reading, crystals and pendants all over.. the only thing missing is the witch and her black cat. Was this the vibe she was going for? Hmmmm 🧙‍♀️

[@dianastella]

Awwww that little Sephora eyelash cup is cute. 😇 trigger warning, maybe? but since I first saw the CT bottle caps, I thought it was supposed to be like a bum plug 😮 esp. with the rainbow theme... 😆 No shade, but talk about not being able to un-see something!!! 😆

Just looking at those bottles makes me cringe, I will not be even going close to them or smelling them.

[@lulugriffiths19]

I think she has missed the mark completely with this launch. I don’t really don’t like any of these fragrances, the only one I don’t hate is more sex but even that one isn’t something I like. I find some of the notes very over powering and even clashing, they have not got the complexity’s they should for the price and market she has pitched herself against either. To top it off I think of Charlotte Tilbury as a sexy feminine brand and think the packaging does not fit that aesthetic. Over all I think this launch will probably be a complete fail and will not bring in many sales. Over all sad as this could have been a brilliant move for her but if anything it has cheeped the brand.

[@SofiaSeesBeauty]

Thanks for your mini review! Yes I usually am excited to see anything she launches but sadly it seems like everything these days is marketed to a much younger consumer. Curious if this will sell well with that demographic because I am not in it 😅
