WORST PERFUME RELEASES OF 2021 | Soki London

[@JUSTVIBINLYRICS]

Dior is killing me with the reformulations.

[@besianazeqiri1386]

i’m really nervous about miss dior absolutely blooming being discontinued. i just bought it and it’s definitely one of my favorites. i hope it won’t be discontinued, it’ll be a huge disappointment to me.

[@mariah8400]

I just bought a back up bottle just in case. Because they don't mind discontinuing great fragrances

[@InfinitegardenbyBethK]

I’m so happy I bought large bottles of Miss Dior Le Parfum and Miss Dior EDP 2017 last year. They’re both so gorgeous.

[@Lifesagifteveryday]

I adore My Way Intense- it gives me everything I love about the original but creamier, smoother and sits on the skin better. I hope it stays around.

[@aurorarose7239]

Thank you for explaining what is driving Dior’s constant reformulations! I have Miss Dior EDP 2017 and Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming and Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet EDT. I am going to buy another Absolutely Blooming.before it is discontinued.

[@clementineyaya9074]

I love the Miss Dior update. It's warmer and intriguing. I found the 2017 prim, screechy and straight laced

[@Kitten9011]

For me the biggest disappointment is Miss Dior EDP 2021. I do not know what they were thinking. I only have about 40 ml out of my ONLY 50 ml bottle that I managed to get. Such a shame… I’d love to see a video of perfume dupes for the 2017 version.

[@ΚατερίναΠανταζή-χ4χ]

Totally agree..I can't stand smelling...There is a huge campaign for this fragrance but the product sucks.

[@ablazenati7933]

Thank you for this video in which you alerted us to smells. I actually fell into a trap when I bought a coco channel intense scent and it smells very bad in return for it being expensive and the smell is very annoying and it is one of the smells that I regretted a lot

[@louisianagirl480]

Yeah I didn't think My Way Intense and the new Miss Dior were that great. Dior needs to lay off with the reformulation. If it isn't broken you shouldn't fix it.

[@valnsky]

Yes, we pretty much share the same opinion on these releases :) I despise Perfect Intense - I tested it on my wrist and the smell gave me a headache. I had to wash my hands and my clothes as soon as I got home. I cant even speak of the new Dior 🤮 They discontinued a perfect perfume and replaced it with something that smells like Superdrug body spray

[@Blessed-me6tf]

Yes finally someone who hates perfect intense! I can’t stand that perfume either I have tried it twice in store and my opinion hasn’t changed. It is just too much!

[@xtinejoy]

I haven't smelled any of the ones you mentioned here except My Way (original). I think I understand why some fragrance houses make Intense versions that smell almost similar to the original one. Perhaps, they also want to cater to those who complain that the initial release does not stay long enough or have less projection. If my favorite perfumes get reformulated as often as what had been done to Miss Dior, I'd be so pissed off too. I mean, if you want to change it overall, why not make a flanker instead?

[@8jollyrancher8]

Totally agree!!! I returned my Marc Jacobs instense the next day... one of the worst perfumes i purchased in 2021

[@ItsPonyBaby]

That’s wild because the original is gorgeous

[@marimm2400]

I love your honesty🥰 Have you tried the new Flowerbomb? I would like to hear your opinion on it!

[@SokiLondon]

Can’t wait to try it !!

[@jai7184]

I’ve tried it and sadly it’s not that great to me …Has all the character of FB and I couldn’t detect the peach on my skin..The bottle is a beautiful pink

[@EloisaMontesdeOcaTV]

I so agree with Miss Dior, I still can't understand why they destroyed like this. We better back up that Miss Dior AB.

[@SokiLondon]

So sad

[@keimonemoore6565]

I unfortunately fell for the hype of Marc Jacobs Perfect Intense tried to sell it and it still came back to me😪💋

[@khanhfident]

Oooh, tea is about to be spilled! LOL, the eye roll at Miss Dior. 💀 Red Hibiscus smells so much like Armani Si to me.

[@TNK689]

I’ve never smelled Marc Jacobs Perfect Intense but I enjoyed the regular MJ Perfect and actually don’t like Daisy or any of its flankers LOL but of course, to each her own. Sure, the bottle isn’t my favorite but I got the travel size so it doesn’t bother me. Great video!

[@HennyCranberryy]

Stayyy awayyy lol mj perf intense is nothing like the original. Idk why its even a flanker, theyre literally two completely diff scents lol. If youre not a fan of cherry or almond (these tend to smell the same in fragrances) notes stay away. I had to return the flanker cuz I couldnt stomach it. The original is beautiful😍

[@hislovecaptivates]

I have to say I disagree on perfect and perfect intense love them both and same with my way and my way intense. I’ve noticed on most perfumes we think differently but I absolutely love and watch all of your videos :)

[@jai7184]

I love MJ perfect

[@nicolemarie3]

I agree My Way is really beautiful and so is My Way Intense, but they’re just very similar so that makes it kind of pointless. I mean there’s a slight difference but not noticeable enough to really call it intense or enough to even launch an intense version at all

[@autumnrose_tv]

I agree with everything except Diss Dior. I prefer it over the 2017 reformulation bc the patchouli note gave me a headache whenever I wore it

[@thesimplechiclife]

Hey Soki, I have to agree with you on many of these fragrances especially the Miss Dior; luckily I stocked up on 4 bottles before they all flew off the shelves. I also heard the rumour about Absolutely Blooming and that’s such a gorgeous scent; I grabbed a bottle and I’m thinking to grab a couple back ups. Great video as always 💗

[@candicezhang8619]

I love your videos!!!!

[@roger19garcia]

I loved miss Dior even the 2017 was really iconic and I have been literally stocking bottles of it since I hate the new version it’s basically a toilette

[@natalinastella5144]

Omg! I completely agree with you and thank you for your honesty. I really don’t care for Perfect at all, although I really love pretty much all other Marc Jacobs fragrances. Thank you for your honesty. It’s refreshing.

[@SokiLondon]

Aw thank you 😊

[@chandracox6814]

I agree w this list with the exception of My Way Intense.

[@nikkibreezy6058]

I like the new miss dior but i have never smelled the previous versions prior too the 2021. I did see miss dior cherie on fragrancenet and i wanted to get it but was not sure if it was the original

[@juliebriz1703]

Love your channel ❤️

[@SokiLondon]

[@chandracox6814]

There's a fragrance that came out called Super Gorgeous from Michael Kors that came out in 2021 and it's so good!! Literally no one ever talks about it but omg it's a beautiful fragrance.

[@LUNAJH559]

I love this!

[@SokiLondon]

Ah it’s not out in the U.K. yet!

[@candicezhang8619]

I have gorgeous and I love it!

Im still bumped about the poor longevity of miss dior absolutely blooming it is soooo good it disappears so quickly im soooo sad 🙄🙄

30 mins max on me for over a 100 dollars NO MORE!!!!!!!

@@vfree4579 such a waste ..

[@vfree4579]

@@diledile89 As far as I'm concerned the past fragrances had a high quality , these days it's all about money and quantity.

Hi Sophie..can't wait for you to review the new black opium flanker illicit green 🙂

[@SokiLondon]

Can’t wait to try it!!

[@w00tz4ibanez]

White florals are my favorite and even so, I really don’t like the new Miss Dior formulation. It smells so generic and nothing like the rest of the line; it’s so bland. After about 10 minutes it even smells like blank paper or cardboard to me. 😦 I wonder what’ll happen to Miss Dior now that FK will be replacing Demachy. I cant stand MFK scents so it makes me nervous. I love Demachy’s other fragrances in this line, but Miss Dior 2021 just feels so uninspired, and I wish he could have left us with something groundbreaking. I bet the company didn’t let him though 😔

[@interloper8029]

Chanel did put out two new fragrances in the Exclusives range; Le Lion and Paris-Edinbourg, but nothing in their more mainstream collection.

[@chandracox6814]

I love My Way Intense but hate the original My Way. For some reason My Way smells so animalic on me. Like straight up cat pee! But the tuberose in My Way Intense is so much better, on my skin anyway. No animalic tuberose. Refreshing and bright. I love it!

[@hellerosengaardabelstedt6439]

I love it too

[@marchstone]

Intense to me has this creamier vibe the original my way lacks, which I prefer! Sits so well and smells more rounded!

[@Helena.934]

Miss dior 2021 is sooo beautiful. Much które beautiful than previous

[@ellyonrii]

I don't smell bananas in Perfect Intense...but u can smell strong roasted almonds...very sharp.....It was blind buy 😶

[@khanhfident]

I smelled it in store on Monday and it was SO sharp from the jump! No, thanks!

[@pinkfabulous248]

Shame about Miss Dior 🥺🌸

[@SokiLondon]

such a shame!

[@danceallurlife3508]

I free with the Miss Dior. I ordered this by mistake as I wanted Roses & Roses . This arrived I didn’t notice it was the wrong item opened it and…. Crap! No scent after 1 minute fir the price of £100 100ml. I have found that lately I have purchased different fragrances to find little or no smell when it is meant to be intense eg The only one intense and light blue intense. I’m so upset that for approximately £90 I cannot smell fragrances. Regarding Jo Malone most of their fragrances don’t last on the skin. Pomegranate noir, English Pear & Freesia, Amber & Lavender ( v. masculine) and red roses are some of the longer lasting scents. The black bottles tend to be more intense but are also pricier

[@SokiLondon]

Yep it’s such a shame 😔

[@elissacaddy2216]

I tried a sample of one of the Lady Millions. It was ok. Fairly generic & not worth the price. It smelt similar to VIP Private Show.

[@beedazzllee]

Saw some more Miss Dior 2017 on allbeauty..they also have some offers going on now

[@SokiLondon]

yes exactly, link in description box

[@daniellemarino5247]

I still have my miss dior cherie its about 1/2 full, I use it on occasions. Still in good shape too,I store my perfumes well. You made me want to buy marc jacobs perfect intense, I love the smell of banana!Ill atleast sample it.

[@EnglishProfStyle]

I feel like Perfect is marketed towards Gen Z. The ads really skew towards their sensibilities.

[@nadiadncr]

I agree I’m hoping some of these fragrance houses step it up 💕

[@tanyas6643]

Yup… I’m totally with you on the lack luster My Way Intense. It’s too similar to the original… I tested both, at the same time and was rather underwhelmed. The Intense only lasted 30 minutes longer. (I own a full bottle of the OG and got my hand on a sample of the Intense.) I’m also not a fan of the new Miss Dior! 😫 I wished they had changed the name to make it obvious that they’ve totally changed it. I can imagine confusion and disappointment, during the holidays, when people gift or repurchase what they think is the “old” (2017) version. I myself am a fan of the 2017 version and just bought a “gently used” 1.7oz bottle as a backup, so I haa add be it available, once my current bottle in rotation is empty. And now I may also have to get a backup of the Absolutely Blooming?! I like Perfect and Perfect Intense. But to me they are 2 totally different fragrances. For me, the OG is a lovely daytime scent, during much of the year… except when it’s frosty out. Great for work or being out and about. The Intense is more for fall and winter… as a cozy “stay in and relax” kind of scent. (I feel that way about most gourmand and gourmand-ish scents.)

[@Nopi9]

Noses really be different naturalle projects and lasts well on me and one of my faves this year

[@Ingrid0410]

The Miss Dior EDP was so awful I returned it but the EDT is ok. The new Chloe smells like grass

[@tanyas6643]

I find the Miss Dior EDT to be similar but lighter and less lasting than the 2017 EDP. Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming is closer to the EDP, as far as longevity and projection. It’s also similar on vibe… so it would have been a nice substitute, if they weren’t threatening to discontinue that one too. 😟

[@NorthernScentsAlaska]

The vanilla perfumes currently at Sephora are horrible, I didn't like Kayali 28, 7 virtues, Atelier, floral Street, none of them. Juliette Has a Gun smelled like a summer vacation vanilla which was okay, and Skylar vanilla was okay. But all of the others were bad...i would love to see some better yummy creamy and spicy vanillas in the future.

[@NorthernScentsAlaska]

Update to my comment: i Love Kayali 28! Fir sime reason the first time i tried it i didn't but now i have 2 bottles..lll and Vanilla Woods is now one if my favorites!

[@LUNAJH559]

I think it's really annoying how they keep changing miss dior. Can you imagine if chanel did this?

[@florcalzetta]

Hi Sophie 👋 do you know that Francis Kurkdjian is nowadays the máster nose perfumer from House of Dior ?? I know it cause one of Dior's Ambassador for Latinoamérica Is Pablo Shenfeld from my country...Argentina 🇦🇷 // The last Miss Dior EDP has belen released by Francois Demanchy... let's see what news perfumes will comes ahead 🤔 💫🤞❤️

[@cherrypie3488]

hey, since i see you using VS body mists could you help me with the selection? I need a scent that is seductive, sexy, with the most compliments, I don't have one, and I would like to start a collection😍

[@summerrain3251]

I didn’t care for the original Perfect but I like the intense version. I like banana, I don’t like rhubarb.

[@pamelabrown8467]

Thanks for sharing your video take care❤️

[@ashleycasteel6697]

I would have to disagree on the new Chloe Naturalelle. I actually love it so much I bought 2 large bottles. I love how it is so different from any other fragrance I’ve smelt. To me it’s very fresh and intensely clean. I do also love Chanel Mademoiselle Prive. I’m so thankful they added this flanker instead of completely discontinuing it. However I totally agree with you on the Perfect line and My Way even though I have all of them. Anytime a new fragrance comes out I try to purchase it and a lot of times I can get some free bottles as well because of the trusted relationship I have with a particular store. When they need to make their goals or even their sister store needs help, they contact me and we strike up a deal. I usually purchase at least a median of $2k a month in fragrance only. I love fragrance and beauty.

[@tonkacat]

I actually prefer the view Miss Dior than all the others. They were way too strong. This one lasts a very long time on me, like 8+ hours

[@deannastclare9775]

Hello all the way from New Zealand

[@HeidiHdk]

Miss Dior edp 2017 is one of my all time favorites. It is a crime that they reformulated it 🤔 I understand that Dior must cater for the Asian market, but why don’t they just call the Asian version something else? Luckily I watched your video earlier this year when you warned about the discontinuation, and I managed to buy 2 back ups 👍🏻 Love your content by the way 🌸🌸🌸

[@candicezhang8619]

Blooming boutique was designed for the Asian market according to what I heard

[@starshine1843]

Soki I brought the new Miss Dior I also have the previous formulations including Miss Cherie.. but I also adore this new one. It's also cus people want different scents, we have had the old ones and nobody likes change but one mans poison is another mans treasure. Yes they were aiming for a lighter feminine version 💖💖💖

[@belindajaneharris2579]
