Seriously the most helpful how to get started video I've found. Thank you!!

[@kellyfidler]

I just love so many of these fragrances, you have good taste! Great video, I’ll have to purchase some of your recommendations.

[@minoutv7347]

A thousand thank you’s for this! I’m just starting my fragrance journey, so both the different categories and specifics within each category are very helpful. Looking forward to some exciting new discoveries! 💕💖💕

[@TheScented]

You're very welcome!! Fragrance is such a fun hobby but it's hard to figure out where to start with so many fragrances out there! ❤️

[@mariac4327]

Nice video Yana and great choices! I especially love Dior Addict and Chloe Nomade. ❤ I would add Light Blue Intense and Prada La Femme. It's so hard to narrow it down to just 15 choices!

[@noteveharrington]

Thank you for this! Many of your selections are long time loves of mine. I haven't had my nose on the Guerlain Terracotta nor the La Petite Robe Noir, so that's my plan for the week!

[@knics33]

Fantastic picks! Thanks for posting 💜.

[@nicoledoudprado1390]

Great idea! I would add a light floral that is easy, makes you feel pretty and put together for a range of situations. Work, running important errands, meeting the parents, church, even an afternoon date. For this I choose Issey Miyake I’Eau D’Issey EDT or maybe Chloe Eau De Parfum.

[@Jdid18]

You are the best at describing scents so dead on!

[@lilianm302]

Awesome, classic list! 🙌🏼💕

[@zakia484]

I agree with most of your picks, except for the ones I haven't smelled yet, like Manifesto. For freshies I would also suggest Givenchy Ange ou Etrange le Secret, and Gucci Bamboo. These are great for spring and summer.

[@dffulmer1]

The most compliments I ever got about a scent was about Cotillion by Avon......after I stored it in the refrigerator! [This was during the 1970s when I was in college.] It smelled nice to begin with, but after I kept it in the fridge, the scent changed and became even better. Many compliments ensued! Nothing else has ever topped that.

[@trisha1955]

Hey Yana , I can safely blind buy all your recommendations. We are fragrance twins ;) I started my fragrance journey with Jeremy and I am so so glad I found your channel ❤

[@littlechefmx]

You look stunning with this look/makeup, very sophisticated and elegant 😍 I love your recommendations 💖

[@mightystrong5484]

Your hair and lippy 💄 is gourgeous.these are really great designer starters.l started with BBW and Victoria secret then celebrity ,designer ,I don't know about the niche or indi though but I do have a few in my collection, they're expensive so I'm really glad when you introduce a dupe house instead lol.tfs 🙏🏼

[@rinsy1212]

I started with a vintage Dior Poison I got from my mom when I was in college. I fell in love with it and searched high and low for white florientals.

[@tammyhiggins1013]

I just received the five pack option from Oakcha and I am really enjoying that!

[@fabscentsperfume6390]

You have picked some real gems 😍 Great video!❤

I've been eyeing the Pure Poison for a while. I'm getting it ASAP.

[@aditi3333]

I smelled a sample and I can't wait to get it as well. I like it a little better than the original, but the poison line has quite a few that are nice.

[@rebekahwynne5138]

Yaaay another video ☺️☺️❤️

[@missafrica4092]

i like how you get to the point. well done

[@heatherbateman9123]

I just started my fragrance journey and ordered some samples from The Scented. I opted for these to start- Mon Guerlain EDT, Aerin Amber Musk, Ex Nihilo Fleur Naricoti Que, Si, and Angel Muse Muster. Trying to find something long lasting that can be a signature scent. And others for different occasions-everyday, date, professional, freshie, classic.

[@Wallace0714]

Chloe Nomade EDP and EDT are gorgeous!! My favorite for this time of year! ❤️

[@amandalemos310]

I love it too! One of the first I bought before knowing anything about fragrances. It smelled so good to me, and it still does 😍

[@PaolaBianka]

this is really helpful for everyone just starting of for those who are growing their collection... and even for those looking for signature scents... :)

[@TheScented]

Thank you! 🥰

[@ChrissyLove]

Yes!! These are all great designer starters!

[@joankelly3301]

Yana you have incredible taste. Can always count on your reviews to break down and learn about fragrance composition. Would love for you to get into the fragrance subscription biz. Paired w these vids it would be a total success. My subscription plan is a bit of a guessing game but I try to find things you recommend. Thanks for all the reviews. I know how much time they must take.

[@southernbeardfragrances8004]

Awesome review and gives me some great ideas for my wife. Thank you.

[@thiagobechelane]

My sister has that Omnia Crystalline and she swears by it. I'm just buying her a new flask for Christmas. It must be really amazing. Nice video BTW.

[@thefragrantician]

Omg you have an OG Dior of 2002. Although the reformulated version is still stunning. The best vanillic floral ever ❤

[@staceym7626]

The morning is off to a great start. A little coffee, a meditation, and then Yana posts a video talking about some lovely fragrances to try. Doesn't get any better!

[@TheScented]

Sounds lovely! ❤️ I love a little morning meditation as well 😊

I have cacharel Yes I am glorious, also a really good fragrance. My absolute favorite is still YSL libre!

[@e.obrien8421]

I have 3 of your recommendations but I need a tropical so thank for your suggestions

[@paolagonzaleza]

I'm building my collection right now, I got La Vie Est Belle (I know I know, A best seller, everybody has it, but I Love it hahha) Scandal by Jean Paul Gaultier, Jimmy Choo by Jimmy Choo, Omnia Coral by Bvulgari, Bright Crystal by Versace and my favorite one: Dior Addict, I'd like to add Alien, Donna born in Roma by Valentino and Si by Armani.

[@skyblue5800]

Can’t thank you enough for this video. Really appreciate your work.

[@marimbamarcy]

Yessss new video ✨

[@lamikkchambers384]

I absolutely love Omni I recently purchased this

[@sarah.marco888]

I bought ysl manifesto because of your reco and it's a super cozy scent. I love the green notes that "hover" on top of the vanilla. I see it as quite dressy tho. I also bought Eternity Intense cause of your reco and i love it too. 😊❤️

[@sylviequebec7813]

Blond sugar baby : if you love cosy scent , vanilla and vétiver go buy Dior Addict it’s wonderful perfume of Dior .

[@ayeeangie21]

Oh snap, I just started hauling perfumes but this could really help take me to the next level 🤣🤧

[@foxolott8311]

Blind bought Dior Pure Poison & at first the florals seemed granny ish :( But I wore it a few more times & it's now my signature scent. It's so clean & fresh but also alluring like you mentioned. I'm obsessed, the bottle is also stunning

[@Sofyy__]

Just blind bought mine yesterday and it does smell like a grandma i hatee itt🥲 i'am trying so hard to like itt but it gives me a headache

[@serenal6525]

I quite agree with all of these fragrances.....I also love Amethyst by Bulgari! New follower!

[@texaslyoness8537]

My strategy was to do research and buy the scents that sounded great to me. I then bought travel sizes or the travel size with an atomizer holder through Royalty Scents (USA) or another place like that. That gave me enough perfume to decide if I like it or not. You’re right about trying them many times. They seem to change and things I did not initially like I now love. I am now trying scents that do not sound so great to me, but people I know recommend. Trying to step out of my comfort zone. I will have to see how that goes.

[@bbbabybear27]

I haven’t found a better fresh fragrance for me than Omnia Crystalline! I’m not into citrus, so it’s my perfect summer scent.

[@TheScented]

Yesss it's so good!

[@mvitrstn8357]

So underrated

[@PREPFORIT]

Always good info for me or information I can pass on to friends.

[@TheScented]

🤗

[@amyperry4659]

Don't get it when people use the term 'Grandma' when describing fragrance. Who's Grandma?! Yours and mine could have possibly worn different notes 😱

[@mariac4327]

I'm actually a grandmother at age 44, lol. (Kids started early) and I feel honored having that title 🙂🙂🙂

[@mounze90]

This is sooo true!!! I personally want to smell like my grandma and I´m in my 20’s !She introduced me to fragrances and her scent use to make me think of elegance and boldness. She used to love the original poison, la parisienne and a lot of floral and fruity patchouli notes that are used in a lot of modern perfumes. My mom is a grandma too and I stole my first signature scents from her and a lot of ladies in my grandma circles liked different kind of fragrances so it annoys me too when people use ‘grandma´ to describe fragrance.

[@HottieAt53]

Thank you. I don't get the Old lady or grandma scent either...

[@prachisharmaaa]

😂😂😂😂

[@bulbul7580]

I hate that too , like grandma smell meant something bad . I would pay to smell my grandma again , ❤

[@711Slurpies]

Im a guy and It's my sister's birthday in a month. I personally have always been into men's fragrances, so I never really got into the realm of female fragrances. I just wanted to say that your videos have been a gold mine. Thank you so much for the great information! My sister really likes freshies, sweet freshies, and generally smelling clean both on men and women. We grew up smelling freshies on people we admired and looked up to lol. I've got a list of things that I'm going to be going to smell at the mall today

[@natasama1069]

I started my collection this year and my very first one was Elie Saab Girl of now shine. Then Armani Si, Valentino Valentina pink and blush and the newest once are Armani Aqua di gioia and Sun di gioia. I hope soon I will get my Balenciaga florabotanica and Guerlain terracotta😄😊

[@sooyunkim9799]

Perfumes aside, this is one my favorite look on you...hint of the goth vibe but very elegant:)

[@sarahfisherxo]

Excellent selections! It’s so nice to hear a fragrance reviewer make such a lovely effort to pronounce French words properly. You sound beautiful. Happy I found you!

[@paulag1316]

I have bought pure poison , addict , coco mad, LPRN eau fraiche ,mon guerlain (BOR) , nomade , libre , crystalline and manifesto !! On your recommendation Yana and have not regretted any of them ! You are my go to reviewer!!🥀🇨🇦

[@TheScented]

I'm so glad my recommendations are working for you! ❤️ 🥰

[@brigittelehmann9749]

Great review and perfums most of Them i have not smelled

[@mamabee2151]

Hypnotique poison was my most complimented fragrance by men and women of all time. Now when I smell it it smells beautiful but reminds me of a very specific time in my life and specific people and ex boyfriends - wish I could find a similar smell that didn’t immediately transport me back to being 22.

[@elinacraft9256]

I started out my collection with La nuit Tresor à la folie, Elie Saab Girl of Now andba dupe of Baccarat rouge 540. Lancome Idole the original will be my next buy

[@wildchicxo]

iam happy that yt showed this video in my recommended list😍😍

[@sweetsimpleslowlife2709]

You need a poison…choose your poison 😂🌹 Great list, lots of popular fragrances 😍 I suppose the most classic scent in my collection is YSL Paris EDP, which is a kitchen sink type of fragrance, almost 30 notes! I blind bought it and I had no idea what to expect. It took me a few tries until I started to appreciate this old school roses overload fragrance…I love rose scents ❤️ and I actually think it started my obsession with rosey fragrances and now I own a few different variations from different brands.

[@chadasandwell5209]

I love perfumes but some smell it's make me headache, thanks for this video it help a lot

[@pattieschulte700]

Great as always. Great picks. Many I have had or have. Still don't have Manifesto. Shoot me.🤣

[@eparker]

Yeaaaah. That Classic Red 🤤

[@marimbamarcy]

Guys you need to LISTEN TO THIS GIRL😍 I have bought these frangrances (the oil version usually) and I’m so happy with everything!! I especially love Armani Rouge Malachite. and Santal Blush. MUST buy!

[@TheScented]

Haha thank you so much! ❤️ I'm so glad my recommendations are working for you! 😘

[@lindavaillancourt6269]

I want all of them!!!!!!

[@jackiesasfai4162]

I’m loving your reviews! I’ve always loved the Blvgari Omnia’s most of them I have. I love Crystalline, Coral for Summer and Amethyst in Fall/Winter. I hate that Jade has been discontinued!

[@aiesecvideos6238]

ı really like and found so informative this series

[@TheScented]

Thank you!

[@kareem0525]

I started building over the lockdown. My starter pack was: Coco Mad (Intense), Versace Yellow Diamond, Si Intense (2020) Chanel Fraiche and Prada Candy 🍭. Dior was my jam in 05. Gave it away during pregnancy, smell was too much. Yes it is amazing!! 😻

[@tarak2915]

I think you offered a lot of great choices. I would add a Shalimar and a Chanel No5 to cover the all time classics, but start with the more modern versions like Shalimar Souffle and Chanel No5 L'Eau.

[@TheScented]

Shalimar and No.5 a wonderful classics but can be too challenging for a beginner. I'd say those are more for an "intermediate" pack

[@ferclinancl]

My personal fave omnia amethyst. Really popular here in the Philippines

[@zeinahanna870]

Thank you Yana for these stunning recommendations! I started my collection with Dior addict to life (but don't like it anymore), VIP rosé, Armani Code Satin, Black Opium (that I now can't stand), Armani Si, and Angel. Looking forward to test Pure Poison (or just Poison), JPG classique, Hermes Eau des Merveilles, Twilly, or la Vie est Belle (Eclat). I know I need to change from the sweet sexy warm perfumes and get fresh and clean ones, but I just can't stand strong musky, floral, soapy scents. What woud you recommend? 💜

[@Godsgraceish]

Why do you need to change your scent of choice. You like what you like and that’s ok! I love warm and sweet scents to

[@Soso-ou2mz]

I personally like Girl Poison the most 🌸

[@dietperfume3373]

i have almost all of these! i definitely want to get my hands on the d&g, but i have coco edp, which has a similar vibe to me maybe. what are your thoughts on poison girl, also? too sweet?

[@TheScented]

Poison girl is too sweet for my taste, yes 😊 but it is still a nice fragrance

[@adomonte1]

I've bought Manifesto and Dior Addict, and Chloe Nomade Absolu because of you and it's been spot on straight love 😍 also bought Burberry London for my boyfriend and oh boy ❤️ cannot take my nose off of him and he loves it too!

[@anaduarte4069]

i loved the video! Can you do a video about fragrances to go to the gym? I know it's sound weird but i really like to smell good in every place lol

[@TheScented]

I actually did this video last year :) I'm sure you can find it in the channel's search

[@anaduarte4069]

Thank you very much ! I'll find and watch the video 🥰

[@Kim-rc8ym]

That *alien limited bottle* is the original formula?, have you compared it to the newer version? Purchasing the *ALIEN EDT*

[@wendyfrench8042]

You do describe them in an interesting way- in a forest eating a plumb - I always try to imagine how things are based on descriptions but I can’t describe perfumes at all. My FAVORITE right now is from TJ Maxx - Chai Eclair - smells like a smoky gourmand with a touch of chocolate. I am not self conscious if anyone smells it, which is the test. Whyyyy do I hate Alien so much? Headache and vomit inducing. What do you think of Poison Girl? I know nothing of how any of the flankers smell. I picked up Jade Dreams that I don’t even know what’s in it but it smells so good

[@heleneh.6055]

I would add Aromatics Elixer from Clinique and Lime Basil and Mandarin from Jo Malone.

[@Lana-nw1vm]

Yana you are my favorite KZbinr! ♥️ I have a question: how would you compare Libre Le Parfum X Libre edp original in terms of longevity? thanks 🙏🏻

[@TheScented]

Thank you so much! I did an in-depth comparison of the full range. I find them both great in terms of performance but the EDP is still the strongest on my skin

[@edithobrien7118]

Tottally agree plus I would add Chance as alternative to Mademoiselle and Versace Versence or Aqua Di Gioia as freshies :)

[@TheScented]

Yes I totally agree with the Chanel Chance alternative! Coco Mademoiselle may not be for everyone 😊

[@scottbrown8178]

Rive Gauche pour homme not sure what category would be ,defined as a old time barber shop scent ,but love love

I'm new to this fragrance and chanel in general, although I have around 200 fragrances in my collection. Chanel never vibed with me but then 🤷what happened coco mademoiselle has captivated my heart.

I know you say to purchase the older version of Pure Poison. I have been wearing Pure Poison since it came out in 2004. It is my signature scent. My question is How do I find the older version? I remember it was different. I know the older has the white cap. It was so beautiful smelling. Its still wonderful but if you can tell me how to find Pure Poison from 2004-2008 I would purchase every bottle

[@TheScented]

It's just a game of luck if you happen to see someone reselling a preowned bottle... Or if you're lucky to find a shop that still has old stock 😊

Recently I blind bought Terracotta on a frag influencer's recommendation but I've to say I'm highly disappointed in that I can only pick up one note and that is jasmine. And I don't like jasmi ni scents.

What do you recommend for a soft, powdery, maybe floral scent? (Not baby powder).
