WORST FRAGRANCE BUYS OF 2024 | THE PERFUMES THAT DID NOT WORK FOR ME!

[@ymdroid73]

I'm with the crowd who enjoys seeing "fails." Every release can't be a winner and if a lot of people are underwhelmed (waving at Palatine and Vanilla Sex) it really helps people to avoid expensive blind buys or at a minimum get to know your nose. With all of the price increases it really is a service.

[@ArahiWorld]

I really am very thankful that this type of video is helping out because the point you’ve made is extremely valid! The prices of these fragrances are so out of control that we are just all going to have to help one another as a fragrance community and share fails and successes more frequently! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ymdroid73]

@ArahiWorld yes, especially for the niche houses and increasingly designer, even getting an adequate sample can be $30-40 so it's very helpful to hear honest experiences even if it's not the best ❤️

[@Lucky-Kit-Kat]

As a loyal viewer, I really appreciate the good bad and the ugly. It’s very helpful. ❤❤❤

[@ArahiWorld]

Thank you for being so kind! I am so glad this type of video is helpful! 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️ I actually named the video file and playlist the Good, the Bad and the Ugly! 😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@JustSayLette_16]

Good Evening Sis!❤❤❤ You're never negative about anything, just open and honest! I appreciate that about you!❤❤❤

[@ArahiWorld]

Hi Sis! I try my best to be transparent and honest with the Fam and I just know I need to share… the not so pleasant also! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Erin-gq4st]

Hi Arahi! Even though I know you don't like to focus on the negative, I find these reviews very helpful. If you mention something subtle about a fragrance that you don't enjoy, and that is something that I often struggle with as well, that can really help me to make a more informed decision about whether or not to buy a fragrance, especially if it's something about the fragrance that not many people have noticed or pointed out. And blind-buy fails are so disappointing that any information that can help to avoid them is always welcome! Also, I always appreciate that you are balanced and respectful in your criticisms, since everyone has different tastes and some people may enjoy something about a fragrance that you dislike. Your honest opinions are always so detailed and helpful! ❤❤❤❤

[@constanceohakwe3935]

Hi Arahi, it was clear to see how hard this video was for you to make 😅. I appreciate the video because, of course, we can't love all fragrances. Thanks for sharing

[@ArahiWorld]

Hi Constance! Thanks so much for sharing your opinion and letting me know this video was valuable to you! It really helps me understand that it is a must and commit to doing more of them in 2025! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@johncarloburton5611]

Hi Arahi !!! Our girl keeping it real and honest and sincere !!!! 👍👍👍 I watch and listen to all reviews....good and bad...and it all boils down to which fragrances WORK for us individually......Tomato...Tahmato....apples and oranges...LOL....Peace/Love/Respect/Blessings/Happiness xoxo

[@jillshorten3457]

Hey friend! Well, I think this is the interesting, yet infuriating part of the fragrance hobby. We change our minds. And our noses and tastes change. Or sometimes we don’t even know for sure why something isn’t a love. It’s perplexing, isn’t it? I must admit Wavechild surprised me 😲 I appreciate that even though these did not work out for you, you were thoughtful (respectful) in your criticisms 👏🏻👏🏻 Sometimes it’s difficult for me when creators are snarky and blast fragrances that they know some subscribers may love. Anyway….Obviously not an easy vid for you! 😘 well done tho 👍🏻

[@ArahiWorld]

Hi dearest Jill! I just love how you get me! I know this type of video is necessary specially nowadays when the price of most fragrances is truly through the roof! But it is not a message that I like to deliver at all! I mean just consider that I spent money from my budget on each one of these fragrances and of course was excited to try them only to be disappointed! But, oh well, it’s a part of what I do…. 🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@TheEmanueleCastelli]

First of all… Ma’am… Your nails 🤩 Loved the video, sometimes negative reviews are more helpful than the positive ones! I’m so happy that you disliked a Xerjoff fragrance, I can’t stand anything by Xerjoff/Casamorati, I hate those brands with all my heart! They did me dirty, awful people, I’ll never spend money on them EVER! Wish you and amazing 2025 from Italy 💜

[@kathrynstarr8271]

I always appreciate this type of content so thank you very much. As it happens I have not tried any of these so it is helpful for me. On another topic I got Guidance body lotion finally and it is really nice. Have a wonderful day!

[@joel-lynkamla1035]

Happy New Year🎉🎉Mrs Arahi Loved this video because not everything can work that's the beauty of fragrances, more of this please and the full collection video🤗

[@madelynmartinezarias5400]

Hi again Arahi. The thing I really like about you is your honesty and I appreciate it so much. I don't have none of these fragrances and happy about it 😂😂😂. Thank you so much for letting us know your thoughts. You are amazing. God bless you so much. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🌹🌹

[@ArahiWorld]

Oh Madelyn! You are truly so kind and thoughtful! Thank you for being here and always having a kind and encouraging word! I am glad you did not even take a chance with these fragrances though!!!! ❤️❤️❤️😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@madelynmartinezarias5400]

😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

[@vatrina713]

Hey Arahi, Let’s Go with this honest review per usual!! I love Torino23. My daughter had a sample and she didn’t like it but I loved it on my skin. Hopefully, when you declutter it I can buy it. I said I was going to buy it this summer but I can’t buy anything right now 😂😂. I also like Mango Aoud and Reflets d'Ambre but we all know fragrances are subjective and everyone's body chemistry is different. So I truly understand how you can feel the way you feel. 😂😂 I enjoyed this video but I enjoy all of your videos. I have my eye on Mango Aoud and Torino23👀🥰❤️.

[@ArahiWorld]

Hi Sis! Well your wish may become a reality if I can’t get a quick improvement on Mango Aoud and Torino 23! 😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️ That la actually part of what I love when it comes to fragrances…. It really does emphasize the beauty of the differences from individual to individual! 😘🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@vatrina713]

@ 🤞🏾and yes so true

[@tunyalong9238]

I decluttered Nest Vanilla Bourbon too. There’s a note in there that’s very off putting

[@joypascall893]

Hi sweedie pie ❤...jus passing through to like😍, see you and hear your thoughts (even tho I don't own any of these houses) Thursdays are my jam 😉🤭. Still can't resist. Stay safe and blessed hunni bunches ❤❤❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@ArahiWorld]

Hey Joy! So glad you stopped by! 💕💕💕💕I know Thursdays are special for you so I really appreciate the love and support! And get ready cause this Thursday is coming quite heavy! 😂😂😘😘🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️

[@MidnightSwiftie]

I believe Sharida also put Palatine in her worst fragrance of 2024! Also I love this type of video, would love to hear more about your fragrance fails

[@ArahiWorld]

Hello! Really? I have not checked out Sharida’s fails but am not surprised! I mean Palatine was just such a disappointment for me! I have promised myself to do more of these videos this year because I really need you and the rest of the Fam to know what may be an issue! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@lisalovelife28]

This may not be an easy video for you but I appreciate it and it creates balance. Fragrances are very personal and we cannot expect someone to like everything, so thank you for being honest ❤

[@ArahiWorld]

I am glad you understand the point of these types of videos as they are so very necessary as long as there is a respectful approach to them. IMHO! More to come in 2025! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@starfish0219]

Hi Arahi! ❤Stellar video🥰 Love your grace, candor & sense of humor. Perfume goddess.❤ Tell it like it is 😂❤❤❤

[@ArahiWorld]

Hello hello! Thanks so much as always for your love and support! I promise I will get better at this type of videos this year! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@morethanyourbasics]

i got into fragrances more seriously last year. i know i'm not the only one because trends are saying more and more people are turning to fragrances especially as a little form of luxury. i like "negatives/fails" because its human and it doesn't make me feel like you keep and love every perfume you buy. Its also helpful to both figure out your nose/preferences and/or make more informed decisions when buying expensive fragrances. I started with a lot of arabian perfemes to explore different scents and have more variety. I hope to buy my first niche fragrance(s) and hearing that a fragrance is challenging, boring, not very lasting helps me decide whats worth sampling or avoiding. The way that fragrance content works now there might be a video of top 10 vanillas or even top 100 vanillas but as a viewer it might read as all of these vanillas are equally amazing. knowing that a fragrance isn't worth the price you paid, isn't superior in the scent family etc. is helpful for those of us learning and/or trying to make smart choices

[@ArahiWorld]

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your insight on this type of video with me! The more you and the rest of the Fam let me know how helpful it is the more comfortable I am with sharing my fails on a more frequent basis! I just know this information needs to be shared as part of providing the ability to make the best decision before picking up a fragrance! Expect much more in 2025! ❤️❤️😘😘🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@valsvida504]

Hey fragrance friend ❤ I know u may not like these types of videos and I can only imagine they are hard to do as well but as a loyal viewer to your channel I cannot tell you how much I appreciate them . We all know how subjective fragrance can be but it’s always nice to see a true fragrance reviewer talk about the hits and misses as well so thank u

[@ArahiWorld]

You are so kind and thoughtful! I really appreciate your words. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Expect more of this kind of videos for all types of fragrances during 2025! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@zsu3853]

I always appreciate your honesty 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤Devotion Intense is on the way to me😅I hope I’ll like it😅

[@MegFragranceLove]

Hi Arahi! Will you consider making a video reviewing your Bond 9 fragrances that you’d repurchase?

[@MidnightSwiftie]

With devotion intense, I actually enjoyed it wayy more than the OG, I got an actual gourmand compared to the OG which was too floral for me!

[@ArahiWorld]

I really have to figure out what is going on with me and the Intense because I do love it but keep pulling the OG! Maybe it’s that I am hooked on that lemon note I pick up in the OG! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@misskellymac]

Great video. Thanks so much for sharing 😁

Oh, Bourbon Vanilla was a fail for me as well but I just use it to layer with some fragrances and it works out great.

[@ArahiWorld]

Oh Sis! I am so glad you shared Bourbon Vanilla was not a like because I felt like I was pretty much one of the very few that just could not like it at all! 😂😂😂😂 I mean do you remember I even let you and the rest of the Fam know during a Saturday Chatty Scent Corner video that it had won an award!!!! 😂😂😂😱😱😱😱❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰

[@BGalwah1]

Great color on you!

[@claudiaimmerzeel5415]

I purchased samples or decants of roughly 8 Kayali fragrances. They smell great on first spray, but 45 minutes later they're gone from my skin. I don't care how popular they are, something about their formula does not last on my skin, and I'm not going to spend money for full size bottles of scents that don't last.

[@dbeeks5415]

Your collection is exquisite

[@ArahiWorld]

Thanks so much! It’s been a journey! 😂😂🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@anadanaya]

Happy New Year Arahi! My last purchase in 2024 was a huge success: I got Epic Woman from Amouage, (a rose oud fragrance ) it is regal and smells powdery and clean! Wonderful! Do you have this one? I also got dome what not successful purchases (Hundred Silent Ways X) I am still trying to understand the fragrance but I do not feel it smells like me. I do not pick up any leather (disappointing).

[@ArahiWorld]

Hey Ana! Happy New Year! OMG Amouage Epic is superb! Not for everybody though so this tells me you enjoy an out of the ordinary scent profile because this is not your regular Rose & Oud fragrance! Now, the entire Nishane X line is a Love for me but of all of them I must agree that Hundred Silent Ways is just not really tied to the OG…. At least to my nose… and is definitely a challenging scent profile! I definitely see why you may not enjoy it! Have you tried using it for 2 to 3 days non-stop? Sometimes this helps me connect and fully understand what a fragrance is really about! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@anadanaya]

@@ArahiWorld Hi Arahi, Thank you so much for your suggestion! I will do it and hope I will click with it. It was a blind buy and I tell myself I will not blind buy but this looked like a safe one :) Thank you again and I send you a huge hug from Germany!

[@madelynmartinezarias5400]

Hi my sweet Arahi, here seeing the video right now and will reach to you again.😊

[@ArahiWorld]

Hi Madelyn! Thanks so much! 🥰😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@suemenezes5992]

Do you have a declutter like Mercari I love devotion intense but has completely put my budget.. ❤

[@ArahiWorld]

Hey Sue! I am planning to do a large declutter in time for Valentine’s Day so the Fam can take advantage of much more reasonable prices!! Stay tuned for the info as I will have it towards the end of January! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@misskellymac]

My complete fail was Khamrah by Lattafa. I tried it and couldn't wash it off fast enough. I am still learning to find out my preferences.😊

[@nicholeh1280]

Although not enjoyable for you, it will benefit others. You were respectful

[@ArahiWorld]

Thanks so much…. That was the main reason I pushed myself to do this video. I need the Fam to know not everything is a love! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@NoniBeckham]

Hey Gorgeous! Beautiful sweater on you! Wave goodbye to the WaveChild, bye bye WaveChild! LOL🤣👋. I had a decant of Elysium and it spelled masculine on me, Unless they sent me the wrong one? MFK is too expensive for layering! NOPE!

[@ArahiWorld]

Hi awesome Beauty! Awwwwgh! This is as hard but very necessary! Waving now! 😂😂😂 And actually you are so right because they are all waaaaayy too expensive to use for layering! 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️ Oh and thanks for the kind compliment! ❤️❤️❤️

[@NoniBeckham]

@@ArahiWorld You are not off the mark either on these because you are the 2nd influencer I have heard mention that WaveChild was no good as well as the purple Parfums de Marly. So don't feel bad. I heard someone else say they've never seen so many bad perfumes in one year! Yikes! That's why I have to trust who I'm listening to because there's no way I am going to buy something that expensive and have it not match what was described. Thanks for always producing such good content and honest reviews 🌹💐

[@kristinmary4025]

I unfortunately agree with you on a lot of these of course not wave child but that’s OK. I’m still holding on to a couple that you seem to be holding onto as well, at least for the time being. I appreciate the video. I know it was hard for you, but you did good.☺️💗💗💗

[@ArahiWorld]

I'm so glad we're on the same page and thanks for your kindness! 😭❤️❤️ It is just so disappointing to be super excited about a new fragrance only to find out it does not work for you. I really hope yours improve too!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@doriszcolombo6591]

Once you smell it you can’t unsmell it. When you have hundreds of other scents to compete with you will not try it anymore. You always have better ones to reach for. If it is not a love ,no point to keep something.

Wavechild was a disappointing fail! I really wanted to like it! I forced myself to use it for months until I threw in the towel and gave it away.

[@ArahiWorld]

OMG Sis! I did not know that was a fail for you too! Ok now I feel a bit better! 😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@JustSayLette_16]

@ArahiWorld Sis,I was over here feeling bad because so many people loved it! I was enchanted by the Watermelon note, but as it matured, there is a note that literally started making me sick. Layering it helped for a bit, but that note is persistent! My Sorority sister has it, and it smells amazing on her! She used to spray herself with it all the time anyway, so she was an easy choice when I decided it had to go😆

[@Terence_317]

Wow yeah Torino 23 I did not like either or Vanilla s*x by Tom ford thank goodness I got samples before I bought full bottles

[@ArahiWorld]

I am so glad to hear someone else could just not make those 2 work. The TF one was an immediate No for me but Torino 23! Oh my goodness! 😂😂I just could not believe it was that bad! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
