TJ Maxx Perfume Haul & First Impressions || Blind Buys

[@sarahsmile2883]

I won't be standing in any lines or spending two hours in a store if it's not an essential trip. The upside is I've saved money in all this madness. Great haul. Tfs.

[@SanahLindt]

I love watching your videos when I’m busy in the kitchen... so relaxing

[@SarahMayes]

I am so glad!! 🥰❤️🙏🏻

[@lindalou8120]

oh bless you, thank you so much for braving the cold and queues. I am into week 9 of lone isolation in the UK and your reviews have cheered me up so much. My fragrances lift my spirits too x

[@SarahMayes]

I am so glad! I hope you are able to get out soon! 🥰

[@three7734]

I just watched the first two minutes of the video so far. I don't imagine anyone will want to skip that information. I don't live anywhere near TJMaxx or malls or anything (I have to do 100% of fragrance blind buy shopping online) but I am interested to hear about the update and so excited to see what you bought! Very exciting!

[@three7734]

OH! La Panthere! Glad you like it. I had the regular Panthere in my FragranceX cart, but had to narrow it down and deleted it, but it is still on my list. Beautiful bottle. Great review!

[@LCx829]

It will be awhile before I go to TJ Maxx in Los Angeles. I do miss getting cheap perfumes there but I will have to just wait.

[@canadafragrancereviewerdia9119]

Here in Ontario Canada no stores are open yet. Can only get perfumes at places like Shoppers Drug Mart and Rexall and online of course. I did manage to get a steal on a Burberry Body which I am loving. Great video Sarah and here it’s freezing too had a snowstorm today

[@SarahMayes]

Darn, snow it May! 🥶❄️ I love Burberry Body too. 😍

[@lucieweaver3324]

When you showed the TJMaxx bag - I so miss shopping there - serious withdraws! lol

[@kasiagirl4708]

Sarah, I’m so envious that you actually got to GO into a store and the store was T.J. Max! I was mentioning to the hubs this morning how T.J Max and others would be marking down all the backed up stock! When they open the one in the town close to me..(about 25 miles) I’m not sure if my heart or debit card can hold up to it all! So many perfumes, so little time😂😂

[@dianamary6170]

Thanks for the heads up on the new shopping experience. I hope to get there soon to look for perfume!

[@SarahMayes]

Any time! I am going to venture back today. It’s a lot to deal with so I haven’t been back but I am going to try to make it monthly. 😍🙏🏻💕

[@lpierce1523]

Jimmy Choo Illicit has a major ginger note in it. I have it. Long lasting.

[@brandierin8471]

A TJ Maxx in the next state over from me (MS) opened up and so I made the 30 minute drive to go check out what they had. I was so excited to get Burberry Touch and CK In2u! I love both! I also got My Burberry (edt) and Burberry Brit Rhythm Floral. Both great as well. They had so much Burberry!! They also had Burberry Weekend but I didn't grab it bc I wasn't sure of the reviews on that one... Thanks for the recommendations ❤️

[@SarahMayes]

Hi Brandi!! I am so glad you found some gems. Mine had a ton of Burberry too. 🥰❤️

[@marybethb1029]

Wow ,you made out with some amazing buys!!! Our T.J. max isn't open yet, but I cant imagine standing in such a long line, but I guess it was worth it. I have Cartier La Panther eau de Parfum, and it is so different than anything I have ever smelled. To your point this one does change quite a bit on the skin, but only gets better. It is such a classy fragrance with undertones of musk. I might wear that today, as our weather here is chilly. Thank for sharing, as always I enjoy your videos so much.

[@jamiejazz8194]

I just blind bought Burberry Touch too, and I really didn’t like it at first. But it’s growing on me now 😊.

[@ednaquintana6201]

Hi Sarah. I was so glad to see you and that you have TJ Max Haul. I also live in NC and I am looking forward to getting out to TJ Max and Marshal’s. Happy Mother’s Day. My daughter is coming this afternoon to buy my groceries. Take care.

[@SarahMayes]

Hi Edna!! I can’t wait to hear about what you find! A big happy Mother’s Day to you as well. Big hugs! 🥰❤️🙏🏻

[@Leahp-f3m]

You have the best TJ Maxx stores around you! So much fun!

[@virginiaflynn2511]

Cartier La Panthere Legere has ALWAYS been one of my favorite perfumes and I love anything Burberry. Francis K.. Did alot of Burberry fragrances before he had his own niche brand. The perfume has several variations from 2014 to 2019. The perfumer Mathilde Laurent ALSO designs all the flankers for Panthere and designs for Guerlain. Best way to look up the perfumer get great idea if it's YOUR cup of tea...

[@SarahMayes]

Hi Virginia!! I love Burberry fragrances too. I ordered 5 of the Korloff fragrances that you told me about so I will do a video as soon as they come and I can spend some time with them. I am really excited! ❤️

[@mariaalmomani4280]

Thanks for your videos, always watching and enjoying them! Can't wait for TK Maxx to re-open in the UK!!

[@SarahMayes]

Hi Maria!! I hope yours reopen soon! It definitely helps to feel like things are getting somewhat back to normal. 🥰

[@Kalima1231]

I'm not sure if our TJ Maxx is open but it is a ways away so probably wouldn't go. Our Marshall's may be open but they almost never have anything unique or worthwhile. May try them today to see if they are open. There is a Ross next door to it but not sure if they will have fragrance. Usually it's only TJ Maxx and Marshall's. Good haul!

[@KendraSilver37]

Great haul! I live in Eastern North Carolina and our TJ Maxx opened up yesterday, but that line was crazy and I just couldn’t do it! I may try this week!

[@marimedgal]

Great video Sarah! You got such great deals on those perfumes. The original Cartier La Panthere didn’t work for me at all. I’m looking forward to the day that I can go back to my local TJ Max, Marshall’s, Ross, Nordstrom Rack, and thrift stores. 💗

[@SarahMayes]

Hi Maria!! I miss thrift stores so much too! I can’t wait for those to open back up. 🥰

[@victoriarojas1778]

Wow 😆 Here in Puerto Rico is sooooo hot right now. Send me some of that cold weather, please.

[@SarahMayes]

Yes!! It’s snowing up North here too! 🥰

[@love221969]

Love the haul. I have a few of these scents and I need to start shopping my perfume stash.

[@ramosm0921]

Your videos are so great!! Can you do a follow up for Burberry Touch and CkIn2u? I’m curious to see what longevity is on those because they sound amazing!!

[@lusya5279]

You made me almost cry to hear prices for these parfums, I've never came across such a great deal here, in Canada, Even after opening stores up after lock down still the same , regular price.

[@jenniferlatifa1314]

So excited to see this!!! There’s a light at the end of the tunnel 😍💖 Happy Mother’s Day beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@SarahMayes]

Happy Mother’s Day Love!! 🥰❤️

[@LivingAccordingToCrystal]

Sarah you got some amazing deals sis!!!! I have not an inch left of room to store anything but omg I’m going to look soon as they open!

[@SarahMayes]

I really did!! I am excited for you to find some gems when yours reopens! 😍💗

[@aliciawedderburn9652]

I can't wait for TJMaxx and Marshalls reopen in Georgia. I have been purchasing from fragrancenet.com however I miss the instant gratification of finding great deal. Hopefully they've markdown their fragrances as well. I have Illicit however it doesn't last bout 1-2 hours on my skin. You got a great deal on the Cartier La Panthere Legere. Tfs💕

[@SarahMayes]

I hope you find some great stuff when yours reopens!! 🥰

[@singerstylistjennifer1654]

Hey Sarah! You gave me the confidence to blind buy a Korres fragrance: Iris,Lilly of the Valley, Cotton: woweee!!! It’s so beautiful and clean!! Like a “natural” and more beautiful blend of bath and body works linen and cotton blossom. Thanks again: bought at my local Marshals today! They always have the superior selection of perfumes, better then TJM

[@SarahMayes]

I am so glad you found it and that you love it! That is such a pretty one! 🥰❤️🙏🏻

[@ednaquintana6201]

Thank you for sending me notifications. I like your videos. I am passionate about perfumes like you. I enjoy this hobby. I think it’s beautiful, and don’t let anybody put you down for collecting and enjoying perfumes.

[@SarahMayes]

Thank you so much for the support!! 😘🙏🏻❤️

[@wm4487]

I have Burberry Touch For Women, 100ml too. Lovely scent. I love the red pepper note in it. It was a blind buy that I enjoy very much. I'd forgotten I have Jiimmy Choo Illicit, another good one.

[@brandierin8471]

I see CK in2u all the time and never have tried it. Dang I need it now! Lol! These prices are insane. I can’t wait to perfume shop again once it’s safe.

[@SarahMayes]

I always used to see it too but never thought to pick it up. I’m so glad I did. 🥰

[@MZ4life]

I’ve been craving marshalls/TJmaxx/winners type stores ever since quarantine started and your hauls starting up again help deal with that craving haha!

[@SarahMayes]

I am so glad! 🥰

[@ro.m1005]

Ck in2u was my signature scent for almost 4 years .. i just love it 😍

[@SarahMayes]

It’s beautiful!! 🥰❤️🙏🏻

Just wanted to say I enjoy your video’s so much and I wish I could find perfume so cheap here in Holland :)

[@SarahMayes]

Thank you so much!! 🥰❤️🙏🏻

[@MelissaJean]

Omg I look forward to a Tjmaxx reopening ! I loved this video and thanks for sharing ! I don’t love Jimmy Choo scents either the only one I can get with is Illicit - I tried Jimmy Choo fever and it smelled so bad on me ! I returned it ! Which I usually don’t do that but I couldn’t handle it smelled awful on me . 😊

[@SarahMayes]

Hi Melissa!! I have a mini of Fever and I don’t care for it either. A lot of people really love just the regular Jimmy Choo and I don’t like that one either. I can’t wait for you to get to a TJ Maxx either. I am so excited to see what you find when they reopen! 🥰❤️

[@Liliworld98]

Omg, I'm so jealous. I'm in Florida and NONE of our Marshall's Or TJ Maxx stores are open😕. Thanks for sharing!

[@aniac4943]

I used to have Burberry touch and didn’t like it too much fast forward to today and I got mine at shoppers 30ml for $19.99 which isn’t as good of a deal as yours but I have to say I like it a lot!

[@SarahMayes]

I’m so glad you like it! I used to not like it too. It’s funny how we change. ❤️

[@mightystrong5484]

You are spoiling us with these hauls lol 🤣 l thinks it's funny & odd how our scent pallet matures as we do but I still do like a girly girl scent every now & then😉l can't wait for our tjmax reopen.thanks for braving the cold, long lines & safety to bring us this beautiful content.tfs🌺 stay safe and well 🙏🏼

[@SarahMayes]

I can’t wait to hear what you guys are able to find when your stores open back up! 🥰

[@mightystrong5484]

@@SarahMayes thanks I can't wait myself ,we have until May 21st!👍

To me Illicit smells similar to Place Vendome (edp) by Boucheron ;) Great haul! I CKIN2U is one of my favourite Summer scents.

[@starrjohnson1327]

I went to T.J. Maxx today and found some great perfumes. I went to 2 different ones.

I went to Beall’s today(similar to Ross) they didn’t have anything good. 😢 I’m so looking forward to TJ Maxx and Marshall’s. Your hauls make me happy!

[@SarahMayes]

I hope your TJ Maxx has done good stuff!! 🥰

[@elizabethw.454]

Your description of Burberry Touch got me excited. I looked it up and it has notes of blackberry apparently? Is it at all similar to Blackberry and Bay? Either way it sounds lovely.

[@SarahMayes]

I don’t get a sweet blackberry note but it’s just this lovely soft green scent. It smells like an expensive spa to me. I h ent smelled blackberry & bay in a long time so I can’t remember if this resembles it or not. Touch is really lovely though. ❤️

[@elizabethw.454]

@@SarahMayes Great thanks Sarah!

[@victoriakelley9177]

Went yesterday saw line to get in just turned around and went back home

[@SarahMayes]

Yeah, it’s going to be that way for a while I think. 😔

Hi Sarah! Could you please share a website link where you resell unwanted perfumes. You also mention buying bundles. Which website is that? Thank you!

Hi there!! I buy and sell on Mercari. I will leave a permanent link in my description box for you. 🥰❤️🙏🏻

Hi Tabitha! I’m hope yours reopen soon! 💖🥰

[@maureenhannivan8043]

Very nice bottles.

[@a_noelles]

I just picked up Burberry Touch from TJ Maxx. Blind buy of course. I didn't love the opening. It was a bit heavy on the "grass" smell for me. But I LOVE the dry down. It settled so well on my skin. I'm surprised because I was disappointed at its opening. I didn't get nearly as good a deal as you though.

[@SarahMayes]

It’s such a good one. I am so glad you found it! ❤️

[@123vixXxen]

How i wish we had TJmaxx here in the middle east, perfumes here can be quite expensive. Great haul Sarah. ❤🇰🇼

Oh goodness I miss TJ maxx and Marshall’s and Ross 😫😫😫 I can’t see myself standing on line though lol. Even before this if the line was long I would literally walk right out. Good to know so if I decide, it will have to be super early

[@Danit.Talkscentswithme]

I have the illicit, I want the illicit flower, never smelled it though

[@SarahMayes]

It’s a woody, musky floral. It’s got that pencil shavings vibe to me. I really like Illicit though. To me it smells almost exactly like Black Opium. ❤️

[@Danit.Talkscentswithme]

Sarah Mayes I like illicit but it doesn't last long on me so I usually layer it, it's good for layering because it's not an in your face fragrance. Tempting Paradise by Sofia Vergara pairs well with both Jimmy choo and illicit

[@aliciawedderburn9652]

@@Danit.Talkscentswithme I have Illicit however it doesn't last. I also have Tempting Paradise. It's good to know they layer well together. I'm definitely going to try it. Tfs💕

[@Danit.Talkscentswithme]

Sarah Mayes I just got purple ruby in the mail and wow, what a nice surprise 🥰 this really surprised me, dries down powdery and soft with a touch of tartness. The bottle, even the cap is nice The gems inside make it a little whimsical. I love this one. I never would've known about this hidden gem if it weren't for you, so thank you 👌🥰❤️

[@dp718]

Hi Sarah, I like watching the new bottles and your excitement with the fragrances. I just want to ask, do you keep your perfumes in the boxes? I can see your display behind you, but what do you recommend, to store perfumes in boxes or not? The reason I asked this is because I have just started my humble collection this year. I have been keeping all the boxes, however it takes up so much space. I keep all my perfumes in a dark closed cupboard, so wasn't sure if I need to keep them in box. Hope you can share your thoughts. ❤

[@SarahMayes]

Hi there!! I think keeping the boxes is definitely a personal preference. The darker and more temperature controlled you can keep them the better but I don’t have room for boxes. If I had a smaller collection I would probably keep them. ❤️🥰

[@MarcePaz2008]

Hi Sarah have you seen lately the results for the Perfume Market share/ stocks?.....numbers are red and that is the reason why the companies need to move as quickly as they can their inventory...sale sale sale.....volume....that is why prices are incredible low..... I don´t know how is it with the niche...but when crisis arrises like the one we have worldwide...luxury items are kind of set to the side for a while....and the focus is to go for the primarily necessary needs.! I tell you cause I was too amazed at the prices here in Europe ( mostly websites from the UK and Scandinavia) designer brands like Guerlain were erased off various websites..sold out and not replaced.... same as for Givenchy.....I really don´t know what is going on really with them.....scary ......

[@SarahMayes]

Hi Marcela! That is scary. I hope they come back soon. ❤️

I just saw in your markari page that you sold tuscan soul from salvatore ferragamo 😭 Not that i know how it works (markari i mean) but im looking for this perfume years now and it is discontinued , i can't find half bottles either! Do you know if there is anywhere in states this one? I live in Greece and here we don't have things like tjmax with 15 bucks the perfume :p
