Hey Sarah! I think you (and all your subscribers) would truly enjoy the limited series on Netflix about Halston! The second or third episode is actually all about how he created the first Halston perfume and the blood sweat and literal tears that went into its creation. I truly enjoyed the series!

[@SarahMayes]

Yay! I will definitely check it out. I know Ewen McGregor plays him and he is one of my favs! 🥰❤️

[@karom8768]

I also bought the Korloff Gold and I FELL IN LOVE! I mix this one with the dolce and gabanna The Sun for her and umffff it’s summer perfection 😍 thank you for that recommendation doll!

[@SarahMayes]

🥰😘🥰😘

[@ceciliebyberg8569]

[@limelightlass5018]

Love your videos, Sarah! Great picks. FYI, I've featured the Halston fragrances on my channel...they are truly hidden gems!

[@handkmommy]

I saw Falling in Love at my local TJ Max today and remembered you love it. I love hearing about underrated gems.

[@BLARG09]

I've used falling in love since it came out. Men love it!! Smells so nice

[@izzybitsyspider03]

I trust your opinion so much! Your recommendations are always so unique and interesting!

[@SarahMayes]

Thank you so much! 🥰❤️🙏🏼

[@sherlcollins7011]

I finally just ordered Pure honey I've been wanting to try it for a while :) also u would love armaf eternia!! It's so beautiful the bottle is weird but oh my the fragrance is gorgeous 😍

[@jdolani]

I loved this video. Jeanne Lanvin is gorgeous! I wear it once a week. If not for you I’d never have known about it. ❤️ Fresh Brown Sugar is a love too,makes me feel happy when I wear it.

[@SarahMayes]

😘😘😘😘

[@heatherwillis8930]

You have introduced me to so many great hidden gems and I am extremely grateful. Thank you!

[@SarahMayes]

🥰🥰🥰

[@Kiran09deep]

That's really a reminder video.. Modern princess is gorgeous fragrance.. .. 🥰

[@ladyluo]

Glad to see someone talk about Falling In Love even with the reformulation. My favorite philosophy fragrance. Will try some of the others you mentioned.

[@SarahMayes]

It is such a beautiful fragrance! 🥰❤️

[@lisawithans]

I have to try the KK honey perfume so amazing. I love Laguna. I’ve loved Laguna for over 20 years now! It is definitely a gem Sarah!

[@mysmazz]

Unrelated but your eyeshadow is always bombbb I’m always staring at it every video 😂😂❤️❤️❤️

[@SarahMayes]

Thank you so much!! 🥰❤️😘🙏🏼

[@iglesias0813]

I have Azaro wanted girl tonic and I really like it. Strong at first on me but only for like a minute, then it turns into a lovely fruity/woody and sweet perfume. Thank you 😊 loved the video, there's so many wonderful unloved perfumes. 💐💐🥰

[@Mathyouwhat]

Don't ever stop doing videos ❤

[@ylvandamme]

I love the PureDKNY scents, especially the verbena. I recently bought Philosophy Falling in love and it’s so beautiful, but it doesnt last too long on me

[@suzannesmith5339]

I keep reaching for Azzaro Wanted Girl this Jan-Feb! What a pleasing, affordable surprise.

[@thegem4103]

Glad you had a spelling up on the strangling scent!

[@sharonkaminsky3096]

I recently wore Pure Honey and I layered it with Wish by Lolita. This made a great fragrance even better!

[@ashleyleblanc4310]

I picked up a bottle of kensie at my local shoppers drugmart in the cheapie section and fell absolutely in love! its almost my everyday go to for a fresh clean feel

[@yoca78]

You forgot Oscar lavender I bought it thanks to you and I’m in love . There’s something so addictive about it

[@SarahMayes]

🥰😘🥰

[@daniellemarino5247]

I love perfumes so I'm addicted to all perfume channels and I have heard on alot about wanted girl,alot of people love it.also wanted girl by night is really nice if you like a grape fragrance, I love both of them!

[@Kiran09deep]

Part 2 please😍

[@daniellelindgren2099]

I just saw 2 of these at tj Maxx, but didn't know about them. I'm going back tomorrow to pick them up

[@CRUNCHYBABY]

Yes, philosophy falling in love. Been using since 2005. I recently tried Roses de Chloe and after a couple hours the dry down smells very similar to Falling in love ! Especially by next day I swear my hair I spritzed with Roses de Chloe smells just like falling in love but better as I think Chloe lasts much longer!

[@jackiehill6357]

Hey Sarah, I searched for this video as I'm contemplating buying Korloff Gold and I recalled that you did review that one in the past. Great video here. Maybe you could do an updated one with more underrated scents you've found? I know you get a ton of requests but maybe, just maybe LOL.

[@SarahMayes]

Hi Jackie! I can do that. I still have and adore Korloff Gold! ❤️🥰

[@ednaquintana6201]

Hi Sarah. I have the Halston Amber Woman Perfume. The gold bottle is beautiful and the scent is nice. I just sprayed some on, and I like it. I also have the regular Halston perfume and that is nice also. I enjoy watching your videos and how much you like perfumes as I do. I really enjoy my collection. I have been collecting for about three or four years. Take Care.

[@SarahMayes]

🥰🥰🥰

[@mskatefish]

Lacoste pour femme is underrated gem

[@norazniraabdrazak9767]

Soo true on the Lanvin perfume. I have those two and its a gem...

[@jackiehill6357]

Hi Sarah! I know you're a big fan of the house of Dali. Me too! I've been wearing one called Le Roy Soleil...it's not the easiest to obtain. It's on eBay and that's where I obtained mine a year ago. It's really interesting. It's pineapple, peach, vanilla and cinnamon. I love it. I have it layered today with Bath and Body Works Signature Vanilla Line Apricot and Vanilla Lotion. I think it would be a fragrance you'd be interested in. Gourmand, vanilla, spicy.

[@SarahMayes]

Yay! Thank you for letting me know! I’ll try to track it down! 🥰❤️

[@Ninaa6]

Laguna is great! 😍 I saw your video a few days ago and immediately made a blind buy. really amazing ! Thank you so much 💝 I also bought Still by Jlo (waiting for delivery…) and I'm going to look for all your reviews I'm glad I found you 💝 thank you

[@SarahMayes]

❤️🥰❤️🥰

[@alizarine11]

Azzaro's "wanted girl by night" is a very nice gourmand. I sprayed it by mistake on my shirt in Sephora and didn't like it at first, but then I tried it on skin another day and really like the "queen of the night" + whipped cream accord, it's DE-LI-CIOUS. I didn't buy it though because the drydown is classic patchouli amber and sadly I don't feel myself wearing this kind of warm accords, but still .. it's also a very nice, very underrated fragrance, you'll love it.

[@SarahMayes]

It sounds lovely! I will definitely get my nose on it soon! 🥰❤️🙏🏼😘

[@elive1496]

I wore the DKNY A Drop of Vanilla yesterday ,such a beautiful perfume ,also the Salvador DAli Laguna i love it ! Ik have 3 bottles from Pascal Morabito ,and they are so good ! ik have a lot cheapy's en the most of them are so good !!

[@Indecencealicia]

Pascal Morabito makes great juice I own quite a few bottles

[@veronican9110]

I bought my halston woman on recommendation from Notes from Josephine. Love it!

[@lalabyelulu4021]

Fresh brown sugar smells like a lemon drop ❤ 😍 I wore it today and two sprays lasted for hours. Tera from Opinionated Scents recommended it to me and I took a chance and blind bought. I need to try more underrated gems.

[@tracyhopson2180]

Thank you! 💐

[@erindianne711]

Hi Sarah, I really need to buy Strangeling. Love vanilla! 💕

[@SarahMayes]

Hi Erin! Yes! It’s such a good and unique vanilla. 🥰❤️

[@aromafromheaven]

Awesome list

[@olgakari660]

Ted Lapidus is also very fogotten and poorely appreciated perfume house today( but it's Rumba, Creation, White Soul (created by Kurkdjan,by the way), Diamond soul are true gems♥️♥️♥️

[@SarahMayes]

Yes! I totally agree. 🥰❤️

[@juliea3149]

Hi Sarah. I think the Alfred Sung fragrances are under rated. All that I have tired are really good and long lasting and so affordable. (always at TJ Maxx). Love your videos. ❤️

[@SarahMayes]

I totally agree!! 🥰❤️

[@altramelody]

Great review. Subbed 🤩

[@SarahMayes]

Welcome! 🥰❤️

[@yamilacof4203]

Hi Sarah. I love your channel. Do you think korlof gold is too similar to Guerlain Terracota? I have that one already and love it during the summer. Thank you so much for your time. Thank you for introducing me to Lanvin house. Bought one of your recommendations for my sister and she loved it (eclat Arpege).

[@SarahMayes]

Hi there! I think it’s a bit similar but much less floral. 🥰❤️

[@yamilacof4203]

Thank you so much. Thank you for the time and effort that you put on all your videos!!!!

[@lobright4358]

Woah woah Gucci II? I want it 😄

[@brigittelehmann9749]

Great review and perfums yes these are underrated

[@SarahMayes]

🥰🥰🥰

[@thegem4103]

Oh the azzaro wanted scent is like butterscotchy for me

[@StelmaDesigns]

I so agree on the KK Honey perfume and that dumb bottle design, lol. It's a weapon if it slips out of your hands and lands on your toe. I love it so much but it isn't long lasting on me, as it is for you. I would add Halston original as another inexpensive hidden gem if you love chypres. Vintage is the best and they are so cheap on Mercari and ebay. Is your Halston Woman Amber the edt or edp version? How is longevity? I am thinking of looking for a bottle. Fragrancenet is all out and the edp is a bit expensive elsewhere. Thank you! oxJulia

[@SarahMayes]

Hi there! Mine is the EDT and I can get about 4-6 hours out of it. It lasts longer and performs better than my Elie Saab Amber so there is that. 🥰❤️

[@lilyjane1011]

I saw Jeanne today in a shop and I had never seen it before. I am French, so I knew about Lanvin. Wow, loved it! Definitely different, fresh and sweet, but in a soft, romantic way. It has to be said rhat the blackberry is very prominent, but because it is fresh and not really sweet, I went hime and ordered it on Notino, it was a steal!

[@SarahMayes]

I am so glad you love it! I adore that perfume. ❤️

[@lilyjane1011]

@@SarahMayes I suscribed! 😉

[@juliehaywood4391]

Kim Kardashian's True Reflections has that same bottle but in black. Love it but so hard to hold and spray!

[@thegem4103]

Nice range, shame I don't get the longevity out of the first four that you get.. Lanvin are lovely but I might get 4 hours, yes on clothing I can get it lasting longer. I have a couple of Dali's ... yeah so so for me. Kim k honey I use as a mixer. Burberry makes decent scents at affordable prices.

[@magambres1512]

cc sarah tu devrais essayer la version night d'azzaro wanted girl delicieux

[@sooyunkim9799]

I always love "hidden gem" videos. Mine would be Wildfox perfume. Could you also do a list of perfumes you would recommend if we were to splurge on an expensive perfume? Which ones are splurge worthy if we were to splurge. Also would love a video of your wish list if you have one. Which perfumes you would love to have but waiting for availability/sales/partial bottle, etc....to have more money to buy, lol:)

[@MedusasSnakePit]

The Wildfox bottle is so pretty!

[@SarahMayes]

Definitely!! 🥰❤️

[@sparklyunicorn5431]

I love Kk Honey 😊

[@judythomas9236]

Hello Sarah Great Video♥️ That Pure Honey Fragrance By Kim Never heard Of It But Love The Bottle💛Trying To See Where You purchase It At It's Not Down Below. Is It Still Available For Purchase Happy Saturday🥰💝 Nice Fragrances💕

[@SarahMayes]

Hi Judy! Here is a link! www.bulkapothecary.com/kim-kardashian-pure-honey-womens-eau-de-parfum-spray-1-7/?sku=DFG-130-001&msclkid=0bf4a07945b710eaafb7c27e83ffd2c4&Shopping%20-%20Designer%20Fragrances&Brand%20-%20kim%20kardashian I think it’s on sale for $9! 🥰❤️ this is a very legit site too.

[@HarrisPilton789]

I see it at Marshall’s and TJ Maxx, especially now that we are approaching the holiday season.

[@perfectlycoiffed05]

Falling in Love and Unconditional Love are beautiful, easy perfumes that I’ve worn for years. I have a bottle of Pascal Morabito on the way that I’m so excited to try. The Fresh is next on my list. TFS these gems!

[@OsloTime]

I keep Falling in Love in my work desk drawer. I love it so darn much! I'd like to find a violet scent I can layer it with. I think that'd be so interesting smelling! 🤔 🤩 I want to try the edp of Falling in Love. I have the fragrance spray and wish it lasted longer.

[@lillianacanales8562]

I bought Lanvin Modern Princess Sensuelle at Burlington because I thought it was the regular Modern Princess that you always talk about and man did I hate itttttt, it was like pencil shavings and dusty oranges 😂 I need that Jeanne Lanvin! It sounds so good 💗

[@SarahMayes]

Yes! I really didn’t like Sensuelle. 🥰😘

[@mightystrong5484]

Hello Sarah ❤️I love Pascal morabito fragrances , they are so affordable and smell expensive . I'm getting wanted girl as soon as I find it for a reasonable price.l love watching videos about hardly mentioned perfumes . I hardly see Jessica Simpson fancy nights talked about and I looove that one so much .tfs 🙏🏼🤗

[@SarahMayes]

Yes! Fancy Nights is a gorgeous Patchouli. 🥰❤️😘

[@hotpikayumi2499]

hi Sarah, hope you and your family are good. i bought jenny glow for my mother in law because i heard you talk about it a while ago. and let me tell you every time my mother in law comes over i ask her what are you wearing?? because she smells sooooo good. and it was really the right choice for her, because my mother in law spoils everyone except herself and also she doesn't know anything about scents hahahh

[@SarahMayes]

Yay! I am so glad! They really are under rated gems. 🥰❤️😘🙏🏼

[@vintagegirl68]

Thanks for the video. Philosophy pure grace smells great, but last 20 minutes on me. It's an awful waste. Your videos make me want to shop for some new perfumes, been wearing the same 3 for years.

[@pamelabrown8467]

Thanks for sharing your video take care ❤️

[@SarahMayes]

🥰🥰🥰

[@karom8768]

Sarah, I bought the Lanvin Jean perfume, per your recommendation... I tried so much to like it but on my skin this smells like cannabis 😬😭😭 I kept it to try it during the spring and summer weather, maybe the scent changes. I am hoping for the best as the bottle is so beautiful!

[@sherlcollins7011]

Ya I bought lanvin too and I don't know how I feel about it...I think I'll wait for warmer weather

[@moniqueg6041]

Me either!!!

[@SarahMayes]

Oh no!! It may not work on you. 😭 I don’t get cannabis at all but if o did I wouldn’t like it either! ❤️

[@rainyfincher4293]

I just got Lady Goldiana By Jean Rish for $13 at TJ Maxx it is so yummy! It's a sweet, warm candle/honey type scent and lasts forever. It's in a golden apple type bottle. If you see one give it a try!

[@SarahMayes]

I definitely will! That sounds right up my alley! 🥰❤️

[@Christine-uf3oj]

Would Pure Honey be a warm weather scent? One of my top 5 faves ever is Bee, but it's a cool/cold weather one for me, so I am wondering about Pure Honey. I need to try Jeanne. Thanks.

[@SarahMayes]

Hi there! I love Pure Honey in warm weather. I agree that Bee is much too intense for warm weather, honey is much more floral and works well in any weather IMHO. 🥰❤️

[@HarrisPilton789]

I wear Pure Honey as a bedtime scent.

[@laywahyu]

amazing on you😍🌹

[@maria-bc9ds]

Halston Woman Amber is missing from list

[@pushpitamandal]

Hello. Can you please suggest me a divine sophisticated mild perfume for women?? Actually my nose is too sensitive with every fragrance and I feel all of them too strong and feel headache. Please suggest the best one. Thanks,

[@SarahMayes]

Hi there! I think Lanvin Eclat d’arpege would be a nice mild fragrance. It’s very pretty and performs week without being over powering.

[@pushpitamandal]

Thank you so much and definitely I'm going to try it. 💓

[@Abeautifultorch]

Love your channel. Are you aware that every minute there are 3 commercials? Not used to that.

[@SarahMayes]

I am sorry but I have no idea or control over the ads.

[@bellathereader1328]

I watch several fragrance youtubers andI think you are right that the fragrances you mention aren't talked about very much or at all

[@SarahMayes]

🥰😘🥰😘

[@LittleBear88111]

💛🧸

[@SarahMayes]

🥰🥰🥰

[@annahart69]

Salvador Dali Laguna has been my favourite go-to for 20 years and without fail, every single time I wear it, I am complimented and asked what I am wearing🥰 I have backup for my backups so I neeever run out😁 I even sometimes just have a “sniff” for the “endorphine hug” rush that is guaranteed to follows🫠 It’s sweet, it’s fresh but creamy, it’s fruity, it’s a caressing vanilla and depending on how much you apply, in my opinion works for daytime & evening & all seasons. Somehow whatever notes are appropriate for the moment, seem to come to the forfront🤷🏼‍♀In short it is fragrance perfection🥰

[@SarahMayes]

I totally agree! I think it is so underrated and gorgeous! ❤️
