Ultimate Perfume Buying Guide! How To Purchase And Wear A Single Fragrance in Many Different Ways!

[@ihadaface]

I always used to pick my outfit for the next day, and before bed do a single spray on the front and a single spray on the back of my shirt/jacket/whatever and let that sit overnight (usually stuck with milder, non-aggressive scents for work). Doing that would allow the fragrance on the clothing to soften, get milder and skip to the dry down. Then in the morning after my shower, I would get dressed and do a single fresh spray aimed at the very top of my head. This would allow the mild smell on the clothes to mix with the fresh notes from that morning to mix as I warmed up and moved around at work. Maybe it worked, maybe not, I dunno, but it made sense when I did it.

Very interesting indeed 😊

hugs a kisses with a lot of respect, I am old enough to be your mom but I learn so much from you is a duty to let it be known. Thank you

Thank you so much potajonapotaje 🥹💖💖💖

Wow. As a perfume nerd, you actually gave me new information. I want to try my old favourites in different places now. I wonder if the perfume quality would affect how it differs on different parts of your body. It would be nice if all perfumes had such well developed 3 stages to be able to experience different facets in such an interesting way. More and more perfumes have alluring top notes and really boring and common basenotes and not much of a mid-layer. Which is why it's good to invest time in sampling to make sure you get something you truly love at every stage because perfume prices can be ridiculous. I often buy a pefume based on how good the basenotes are but that's a nice tip about spraying in the hair to have more time with the ephermal and fleeting topnotes.

Love your channel and the content you are sharing, Dacob ❤ I have 20 bottles of perfumes and tons of samples. I am always curious to sniff what’s new and fun out there, but honestly, there are only a handful of perfumes that I feel completely comfortable and happy wearing them. We need much lesser than what we want. Yes, it takes time to wear a perfume through and through to experience different facets of it, to truly understand one. Time is precious, we don’t “own” the perfumes, we only own the experience we have with them.

Thank you, Dacob, I needed to hear that unread book analogy. I am only pretty recently started on my perfume and fragrance discovery and reconnaissance process and I will admit I was a touch... enthusiastic right at the start. I have no regrets, because if one were going to take up painting, it makes sense to at least get a few different colours to start with, but when my last order arrived, I got a bit of the feeling when you are walking back to your table at an all you can eat buffet and you look at your plate and think hmm... What have I done, exactly? I don`t think I went too too far, but I absolutely have to make sure I figure out what I`ve got on my plate before I go back for more.

[@bubba7177]

Dacob, no doubt that this is one of your most impressive videos! Truly enjoyed it and as part of the spectrum of videos you produce this is outstanding!

[@suegreene7841]

I spray perfume in the back of my hairdryer in the vents and wait for the alcohol to evaporate and then dry my hair for a heavenly scent that stays for awhile

[@idaranwa4370]

@Dacob:Thanks for sharing your thoughts about how to buy and appreciate perfumes. I will confess when I buy a perfume, I will search your channel and see if you did a review of it. I appreciate your knowledge of this topic. For me there is nothing worse than going to a perfume counter and the SA does not know the product. When I asked the Louis Vuttion sales person about the top notes she looked at me like I was crazy. Said Louis Vuitton doesn’t really go into top notes. Why does it matter?! I said oh my goodness… However, I asked to look at SLGs and things and she pulled out the whole drawer. So I guess that made up for it?!

[@essence-tiallydacob9611]

Thank you so much idaranwa 💖🥹 and yes, I have had so many experiences with sales associates that know nothing about the perfumes they are selling. Its a painful experience each time 😅

[@kari8088]

Sending you warm wishes ❤️

[@essence-tiallydacob9611]

Thank you Kari 💖💖💖 Sending you best wishes too 💖💖💖

[@tetyanalove6186]

After major buying spree of 2 years, I realized that the best smells for me are the ones used by my husband, but chosen by me. The note of vetiver, nice spicy composition or a gourmand patchouli are my jam. To the point that I don’t really care what I wear on myself, it just has to match with him

[@marianordenvald]

Thank you for the comb-trick🥰🙏❤️❤️❤️love your work❤️🙏❤️🩷🕊️🩷🤍🕊️🩷🕊️🤍🩷🕊️🤍

You are most welcome Maria 🥰💖

[@finleyevans4775]

Love this, Dacob! So useful and very educational! By the way, I was watching your other vid about the giant beautiful bottle of no. 5 EDP when i was stuck at the airport in Dallas for 12 hours when i was traveling last week--that airport happened to have all the Les Exclusifs there, at the boutique near my gate. I got to smell and sample Gabrielle L'eau and fell in love. Thought of you! Hope you are doing well this week.

[@essence-tiallydacob9611]

Oh wow Finley! 😍 were the les exclusifs cheaper at the airport?

[@finleyevans4775]

@ haha…absolutely not. but i had a wonderful time getting to smell so many i had never been able to before that! Gardenia💕💕was my favorite. will be in my mind forever.

[@LiaAndrews]

You always have wonderful content. I agree with your philosophy of perfume as a path of self exploration and expression. This also seems to be your perspective on fashion, which is why you are the only fashion channel I watch. ❤

[@Robbie_LeMeow]

Hi Dacob. I admit, I am FoMo-ing for a few fragrances. My curiosity is tweaked by Middle Eastern EDP's and perfumed oils. I keep yearning for the perfect vanilla-honey-cigar smoke balance. Or something like Chai spice-burnt sugar...I keep searching. I may just wing it and try a few. Oh, I also have FoMo for a bottle of good old beautiful TABU. ❤

[@Hannah-ti4zu]

yes !!! please continue with this beautiful & fascinating series X

[@essence-tiallydacob9611]

Thank Hannah 🥰💖

[@marianordenvald]

She used Fahrenheit... She lured me in❤️

[@warningshoes8986]

Hey Dacob, loved loved loved this video!💯 You definitely make a point: I know that certain perfumes that I enjoy wearing are not automatically those that people appreciate on me and vice versa!🤣 Some fragrances are sold to us like "men catchers" or whatever, and this doesn't make sense!😅 You can stink and attract people, and you can literally splurge perfumes on you and not be noticed at all. I'm team "wearing perfumes for ourselves", this is extremely personal, and if I'm not feeling comfortable with a scent, dispite publicity, I won't consider it a catch! I leaned with time to listen to myself and only to go for things that I'm absolutely sure, will fit me in the end. Maybe, this is why I don't get the niche market right now...🤔 To me, every thing looks the same, smells the same, and prices are insane. Plus, They're desperately trying to make us think we're unique, but we are not! Any "hot on social" stuff is a bluff! I'm feeling nostalgic about the 80's when women started to invest in cosmetics, and would have a signature look, with of course, a signature scent...Hugs 🤗💝💝💝

[@davidsantiago1380]

I absolutely love this series. And THIS episode in particular… extraordinary. Thank you for sharing these selfless tips! It’s a topic that not many people will encourage due to the consumerism culture we unfortunately live in. ❤

[@essence-tiallydacob9611]

Thank you so much David 🥰💖

[@helenefrench4275]

What an interesting subject Dacob :) I will watch your video with great attention :)

[@flower1990-B]

I just bought a perfume . 🙄My only excuse was that I wanted to buy it for almost 10 years. Jane Birkin s perfume. Now , I have 4 perfumes to love.

[@PolverediViole]

Thank you Dacob for this video, I totally agree with you from the beginning to the end. “Instability is not attractive “. Bravo 👏🦋

[@essence-tiallydacob9611]

Thank you 🥰💖

[@shirleycantoni3152]

Nice video Dacob. Speaking of FOMO, have you tried the new Shalimar Millisime Jasmin? It’s so gorgeous. I actually prefer it to last year’s Millisime Iris, and never knew that could happen 😅🥹.. 😍

[@davidallengreen5153]

Wow, Dacob!! I learned so much from this video !! I'm looking forward to use the ideas in my everyday life!! I always wanted to put perfume in my hair, but the alcohol always worried me!! I love the comb idea you have. I will always go back to this video for a lovely reminder of what you said ! Thank you so much Dacob ❤️ 🎉😊 Lori

[@essence-tiallydacob9611]

Thank you Lori and glad I could be of help 💖

[@BrownNewfieMama]

Brilliant! I love your perfume series.

[@PreachChristLA]

Dang. Your knowledge of perfume is deep and I really appreciate this video.

[@essence-tiallydacob9611]

Thank you

[@lizlemon77]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video Dacob, need to watch the rest of the series and I think they will assist me in finding a fragrance for myself 😊

[@essence-tiallydacob9611]

Thank you dear 🥰 just go to the description box of this video and you will find the links to all the other videos I made in this series 💖

[@jenniferdeanbeauty]

You have such deep insights and new ideas about how to know a perfume I always feel like I get a new perspective from your videos. I will definitely be trying my perfumes in more ways. I love to listen to you when I am getting ready for the day. You always bring a positive light to my day. 💖💖💖

[@essence-tiallydacob9611]

Thank you so much Jennifer 💖💖💖

[@mike65611]

Enjoy the series, it is really sad that someone would add a bunch of books to their home just for their look when they should be read, I had not considered the connection to fragrance until you mentioned it, great job!

[@marducitafox]

Yes please continue. Very clever video

[@essence-tiallydacob9611]

Thank you 💖

[@Matt-c1b9m]

I love bleu channel not enough to buy it for 130.00.😅

[@taliasuarez5467]

Love ❤

[@anaelauve8070]

This is so interesting and I completely agree. Some personal anecdote that sort of relates to the topic on your video; my partner has allways stated that I have a "cinammon- y" scent about me and weirdly enough I tend to like how fragrances with cinammon, star anise qnd liquorice notes blend with my body chemistry. I do think there's some truth about choosing a fragrance that aligns with how you already smell

[@musicalina230]

Wonderful video! A room full of unopened books is a tragedy!

[@munch314]

Girl I be swearing all the time that I can smell when a guy is gay! I'll be out and I'm like, oh yeah, he likes more than just VJJ. 🤣💯

[@francescathegreat1]

I find that I’m interested in Perfume now. The fast fashion and luxury handbag videos don’t seem to capture my attention. Most designer products are in outlets so to me the product loses the fantasy.

[@Emanuela1003]

Dacob, thank you so much for creating this beautiful kind of content! Sei unico al mondo!🥹🥹💖💖💖❤️😍🥰🥰😍❤️ Please do continue with this wonderful series about conscious perfume consumption (I think that the two terms “conscious” and “consumption” might constitute an oxymoron, but I didn’t know how to phrase it otherwise😅)! 💖💖💖❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰 Lots of love from Rome💕🫶🏻
