WORTH THE HYPE & MONEY | Best Perfumes For Women

[@ZhaneAntionette]

Definitely take reviews with a grain of salt. And we all have our preferences too. I can say that a fragrance didn’t work for me or I didn’t enjoy it and it’s someone else’s favorite fragrance ever. Extremely variable

[@SharidaM]

💯

[@emstrak1]

My husband was in a work trip to Rome and he graciously tracked down Babycat for me! He’s a keeper! ❤

[@cozyelements]

Oh you have good one lol!

[@SharidaM]

Oh yes honey you better hold on to that one for life!😩

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

Vanilla 28, definitely worth it because you also it to layer with EVERYTHING

[@juliettirina6829]

I feel like Guidance is the next Delina in terms of popularity. I'll get a bottle because it's a beauty and lasts on my skin forever. It's a perfect gift for Mother's Day. I never liked Aventus for her, smells sour/ bitter on my skin.

[@vivianagbegha2712]

Amouage Guidance is selling out here in Lisbon, too. I walked into a boutique and a woman who could not speak English asked me to type the name into her phone so she could buy it based on smelling it on me for a few seconds.

[@SharidaM]

Wow! Yes girl this one has folks stopping you and adding to cart! Massive compliment getter.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

I love that dent in Escapade Gourmand.

[@funeka691]

You have some good ones here. One of my favourites definitely worth the hype is Dama Bianca by Xerjoff. I love it on its own. I love it layered with other fragrances. I can say the same about Rouge Smoking by BDK.

[@SharidaM]

I LOVE Dama so much and can’t see how so many people don’t like it lol. It’s a little polarizing but its one I will probably always have in my collection.

[@makeupminx6103]

Try before you buy and if you blind buy, don’t blame anyone else! I blind bought Guidance and loved it, but I tested Escapade Gourmand and disliked it! Fragrance is individual!!

[@SharidaM]

Yes...can't overstate that enough!

[@nicolerenene]

Guidance is that girl.. I hesitated to try it cause of the price tag but it is soooo good! On my to buy list, Escapade Gourmand too.

[@SharidaM]

I feel like my bottle of Guidance will last a while because its so potent lol!

[@_AshNicB]

Girl Amouage might as well gone ahead and make you the face of Guidance at this point. Lol I opted for Tiziana Terenzi Delox instead of Intense Cafe but they smell pretty much identical in my opinion. I LOVE it. I don’t know one single vanilla lover that doesn’t have Vanilla 28. It’s a staple.

[@kara8911]

I just got a decant of Ani and my word it was love immediately. Going to put on wish list and save up. It’s stunning!

[@SharidaM]

They have it discounted at Jomashop so definitely check them out!

[@barb5]

God will protect you and your team everday!!! We thank you. Awesome video!!!

[@SharidaM]

Thank you Barb! 🥰

[@Marjoleabreu]

Finally I found someone talking about How great Vanilla it’s BABY CAt I can recommend if you can’t get it go for Vanagloria from Lavoratorio olfativo that one it’s from Dominique Ropion too and it’s amazing too

[@VeronicaSays]

Oh my goodness! Imagining you out in the Atlanta heat about to collapse from that fragrance while trying to keep the people safe! That's commitment 👏👏👏

[@dgm3033]

I love that in the US you can return perfume after you have you have opened it and dont like it. But i do wonder where do the bottles go??? You cant resell

[@juliettirina6829]

They probably become testers or sold cheaper with some percentage off.

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

Escapade Gourmand, definitely lived up to the hype in my opinion ❤❤❤

[@SharidaM]

Soooo delicious 🤤!!

[@yunatemoon575]

baycat is available right now on canada ysl for 370 om

[@icah44]

Glad I didn’t return my Guidance. It was a blind buy and first bottle from this house. And I love it especially the dry down. I can still smell it after washing my clothes. Worth it 💖

[@kristinerothman2526]

Hi, this is so true I was just in Neimans and I put on the new MFK in green bottle I smell pure zesty orange and my friend smelled cilantro and I struggled to smell this cilantro all I smelled was fresh orange

[@TheDivaIsIntheDetails]

Lancome's Oud Bouquet is Bae! 😍 it stays on your body for a whole day abd clothes forever. I sprayed this on a scarf and sent it to my daughter's daycare so she wouldn't miss me, and I promise they tokd me to cone re-spray after more than a week.Mon Guerlain used to be my daily work sent for like 2 years.

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

Intense cafe, was so similar to Delox, that I didn't add it to my collection, but now I may need to

[@SharidaM]

They are quite redundant and long lasting so I many never get through them lol! Want to add Grape Pearls from THoO but also like these two just a bit more refined.

[@seraiahdaniella3755]

Mon Guerlain is my signature fragrance ❤ And then I layered it with Baccarat Rouge 540 and....😮🤯❤

[@lifebydesign5949]

I received Guidance yesterday and when I say OBSESSED…I planned a whole outfit around this fragrance to wear it today😂. It is absolutely stunning. Thanks again for always suggesting amazing fragrances. I trust your nose without any doubts!!!

[@SharidaM]

Omg 😆!! I am dying to see this Guidance outfit! Girl so freaking happy its a LOVE for you 💞

[@sequitawhitehead6584]

I agree, I trust Sharida's nose as well and I will definitely be purchasing Guidance soon!

[@TurninUpWithToni]

I FINALLY GOT BABYCAT!!! Sissssss you had me searching high and low. The only thing they had available was the big bottle but I didn’t care…. cC info entered quick. I received it and you are absolutely right…. It’s worth the hype and coins. I paid a little over $300 for the 4.2oz. Thanks for turning me on to this as well as Rosendo Mateu No 5… it’s easily in my top 5!!!

[@SharidaM]

Oh that price is actually very good! So glad you were finally able to get it!!

[@sandrasmith1035]

I’m posting this on 5/9/23. FYI I was looking for Mother’s Day discounts. PdM has Delina Excluisfs in a 30ml for 210. I’ve only had 10mls until now/

[@SharidaM]

Thank you!

[@jaxbeautifulyou]

Kayali Vanilla 28 is a must have! It’s basically a staple in any vanilla lovers collection. ❤

[@SharidaM]

Definitely a must have in my collection!

[@sandrasmith1035]

Oud Bouquet I waited until 2 yrs. OMG I have gone through one bottle. If OB is too much on its own try layering with one of the Delinas

[@tracyislife]

I have a sample of Creed Aventus and didn’t like it, I’m going to play with it again. I feel that my nose has matured a little since I first got it. I have most of these on your list 🥰 and love love them all.

[@SharidaM]

It definitely leans unisex and maybe even masculine to some women. But its a powerful sweet boss babe scent IMO.

[@KSV2themoonandback]

I can't remember testing YSL Babycat, but I tried Tuxedo and Caftan - I really liked the incense and richness of Caftan, very middle eastern frag, it lasted very long on the paper strip. Sadly can hardly find any of these on sale or even at full price.

[@SharidaM]

They are a hard to find fragrance, especially Babycat 😩! I do want to try a few others from the range. 💞

[@FromAbiWithLove]

Hey hey beautiful ❤ Oud Bouquet is definitely worth the hype 🙌🏾

[@denishiamarshall60]

Jus de Rose called it- babycat is definitely Amouage’s vanilla barka oil & Rosendo’s #5 together. I have both of those & a decant of babycat- exactly the same.

[@y.spence]

Guidance makes me feel so confident and feminine. I can’t believe I this obsessed with a fragrance ❤ Thank you !!

[@SharidaM]

Girl so glad the girls are loving Guidance as much as I do! Just a masterpiece 🤩

[@sandrasmith1035]

You spoke on Intense Cafe(an oldie but goodie,one of my first niche frags early on…ima wear today. I layer with Generic Perfumes Intense Cafe oil.

Ani x is so good!it's definitely more feminine. They cut out that harsh greenness. 😊 they also made hacivat more feminine also,added some sweetness with orange blossom. ❤

Great tips about the atomisers. I haven’t paid close enough attention to that.

[@SharidaM]

Thank you for watching today love! Hope you enjoyed today's list.

[@thesimplechiclife]

I smelled Escapade Gourmand in Lucky Scent a couple of weeks ago, it's such a lovely easy reach. Babycat is one of my all time favorite fragrances, and I agree they need to work on the availability of perfumes in all countries. Being in Canada we have this problem frequently - it costs an arm and a leg to get alot of perfumes here, you guys are so lucky that luckyscent and Saks ship to the US - half the time I get an error notification saying "this cannot be shipped to your location". So I totally relate!! Love your videos Sharida 💗

[@SharidaM]

I am still scratching my head at the fact Lucky Scent delivers darn near everywhere EXCEPT Canada. So happy it was easy for you to get Babycat as It’s such gorgeous addition to our collections 🥰 Thank you for stopping by beautiful!

[@Wonderfullymade1212]

My nose hates a green note and will immediately detect it. So unfortunately, I can not smell any of the sweetness and spice in Ani. The green note masks everything else and ultimately ruins the entire fragrance for me and I have tried 3 or 4 times to make it work. My nose said… NO‼️😂

[@augustvirgo6773]

Same for me once I detect a green note I get nauseous.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

I’m glad you hit on the subjectivity . Test…sample…test. Yep. 🙌❤️

[@SBDH1971]

Another beautiful video, Sharida, and thank you for that! Please make a video of what are your favorites for the summers in GA. Ever since I moved to the South from California I am struggling to find feminine summer scents that will last in this heat and humidity without suffocating myself and people around me! All the best! ❤️🤗

[@nicey7718]

Great suggestion. I’m also in GA and struggle with this.

Eeeeee!!!! So happy its a love for you 😆💞. I don’t think I’ve ever received so many compliments!

[@godwina.realtor6855]

Happy Saturday beautiful. You most definitely put Guidance on the scene (at least for me). It’s like after I heard you gush about it, the entire fragrance community started losing their mind over miss mamas lol.

[@SharidaM]

Happy Saturday beautiful! Seems like Guidance was an instant love for so many reviewers lol. So happy it’s getting the attention it deserves 😆

[@charlettebronson572]

Hi Sharida! Very good list. Oud Bouquet is still my baby and ranks number 1 in my collection! I’ve worn my original formula down to 1/4 bottle and have started using the reformulated version. Not as powerful or sweet as the original, but it’s still good. I wear the original on special occasions now. And it’s not outrageously expensive. I just wore Ani on Thursday! Mon Guerlain EDP is my number 3. I have to restrain from wearing it because it’s such an easy reach. Vanilla 28 and Lost Cherry are a must. They are in a category by themselves. I blind bought Creed Wind Flowers at a 50% discount and it was just okay. This was my first Creed purchase and at a retail of over $400, I was not impressed!! But Vanilla 28 layered over Wind Flowers saved the day! A $100 fragrance layered over a $400 fragrance to make it work causes me to SMH! I would love a bottle of Babycat, but I will wait. People charging folks $700 need to be ashamed of themselves. Stop the madness!!🛑 Have a great weekend! - Ms. Charlette

[@tracyislife]

Don’t wear Ani if you are bothered with sinus issues! My first time smelling it, I was sick with sinus issues and Ani almost took me out 😂😂 but Ani is a favorite of mine

[@SharidaM]

Girl right after I sprayed it in this video my ass let out the biggest sneeze from it 😂 thats why it was such a fast cut to next clip.

[@tracyislife]

@@SharidaM 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Ani does not play..

[@mickeyremich3039]

Definitely appreciate the reminder to smell on the skin and I would add give it TIME to develop on the skin. Example when I first put Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille on my skin all I could smell was like a hamster cage bedding lol!!! But as the day wore on it became addictive! Similar with BR 540 but that smelled to much alcohol at first and then I loved it. 😊

[@SharidaM]

Definitely give it time to develop! Which Is why hate an unboxing first impressions video lol! Like you have had the fragrance on for 2 minutes.

[@mariezapanta8839]

I waited a whole year before I finally got my Babycat, and when I finally did, I felt it’s worth the hype, worth all the time I spent hunting it. Finally I asked a friend(who went to UK) to get it for me then when I had another chance(another friend went to Dubai) I even got a back up bottle. Even though I have both Vanagloria and RM#5, both often compared to Babycat, I still think I NEED Babycat. It’s so so painfully hard to get this fragrance but I’m very happy now that I have it. 🥰🥰🥰

[@SharidaM]

Same! Happy I didn’t give up on finding a reasonably priced bottle. Such a love!

[@Marjoleabreu]

Lol I have the same experience, a friend went to Dubai and I ask to bring me 2 bottles of Babycat. It’s Amazing I love it

[@BLARG09]

I absolutely hated oud bouquet before I sprayed it on my skin. Was gonna sell it. Put it on and I was in love. I wore it last night and can still smell it. Layers really well with delina exclusif

[@patr70]

Delina! I felt like when I finally owned "Delina" that I should be running down the busiest street near my apartment exclaiming to the world "that I finally have Delina!" 😆🙄

[@SharidaM]

I definitely love layering it with my Delina Ex!

[@Tatiperez78]

Sharida Darlin I just bought Babycat by YSL and it is absolutely beautiful!! I need to sample Guidance and Valaya these two are on my list. I do love intense cafe . I gifted my sister who is not into fragrance and she called me to tell me that people were stopping her to asks her what perfume she was wearing! Lol she was like dang sis what is this thing you gave me ?

[@SharidaM]

I love putting my sister on to fragrances 😆! She didn’t have any bottles at first now she probably has a good 20.

[@stephaniegordon9259]

Oh no, not Ani trying to take you out 😆. Love the video, and all the fragrances you mentioned are definitely worth the hype to me as well. I have decants of Escapade Gourmand and Guidance, and hope to acquire them in the very near future.

[@Milkchoc_cutie]

Sharida I've watched all your videos talking about Guidance, so I purchased the sample pack from the company. When I smelled it, I said to myself WHY DID SHARIDA LIE TO ME? It's DEFINITELY blind buy worthy!!!!! I purchased a full bottle

[@SharidaM]

LOL 😂 Girl so happy you love it!!! But RISKY blind buy. Some people say they getting body odor and comparing it to Cassili and Possibilities. I’m like Whaaaaat?! Someone even said they only getting 2 hrs if performance 😑. I’m like HOW?!?! 😂 Subjective is an understatement!

[@Milkchoc_cutie]

@@SharidaM To my nose it’s Unique, I haven’t smelled anything like it. Well I don’t have anything in my collection that’s even similar and I definitely wouldn’t compare it to Cassili or Possibilities 🤷🏾‍♀️ just my little opinion.

[@tgeorge9677]

Hi Sharida, you reminded me that I own Intense Cafe and Mon Guerlain. Those were two of the fragrances that I purchased at the beginning of my fragrance journey. Mon Guerlain is absolutely gorgeous! While there are many that I feel are worthy of the hype, I'll just mentioned two: Venom of Love and Boadicea the Victorious Bodacious. Oh, I would also add Sospiro Vibrato. ❤

[@SharidaM]

I really need to to try the Boadicea! I still own nothing from the house but I just know the fragrances are probably so spectacular. 😆

[@tgeorge9677]

@@SharidaM OMG! You definitely need to try the house out. I believe that you would really enjoy Glorious. I have that one, plus Ardent, Harmonious and Bodacious. Harmonious is fantastic - it's the female version of Dior Homme Parfum ( IMHO). ❤

I mean, we already know about ya girl Guidance 😍😍😍 Nuf Said! But I wanted to report back, b/c I received my bottle of Note Vanille Nectar, and it’s such a beautiful vanilla for a cool Spring day. Can’t wait to hear your opinion on her 💁🏽‍♀️ Thanks for the layering advice 📝 Dropping jewels!

[@SharidaM]

Girl yes, it’s beautiful 🤩! Love wearing it for fall and winter.

[@SamanthaSF]

The only one I have on this list is Guidance. It’s such a beautiful feminine incense fragrance to my nose. The longevity makes no sense tho. Still smell it on my clothes after a wash. 😂

Longevity is INSANE lol! Took a coat out of my trunk that hadn’t been worn in a month and Guidance was still radiating off that thing lol.

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

Mon Guerlain, yes ma'am agreed

[@ChristineTinaD]

Ani is a fragrance I wasn’t bothered about at all, I didn’t even think I’d like it but I was in Harrods and sampling some fragrances and I smelt the cap, and sprayed it on my skin without thinking anything… it was an instant love at first sniff.. definitely have to try vanilla scents on the skin 😍😍 now I have the oil too. Funnily I agree with you on almost all of these 🥰 I’m waiting for my Babycat to be arrive, they’ve restocked in the UK! I love Escapade Gourmand, Oud Bouquet, Arabians Tonka, instant crush, Greenwich Village, Delina Exclusiff - in my opinion they’re all the worth the hype 💯

[@sibyl333]

In love Aventus For Her. I have the original AND the V Dua dupe and they are both incredible. Dua did a fantastic job on that one. Incidentally I got the Creed for an amazing discount- something like $120.. I love Babycat too! I had a decant. I want a bottle eventually!

[@nishani3]

I appreciate your videos. I have 3 on the list. Aventus for her and Ani issa NO for me, leans masculine on my skin. Guidance, Im letting it sit and will come back to it in the Autumn because it was not a love at first sniff.

I was always confused when Vanilla 28 was described as a straight forward vanilla cause like u said though Vanilla is the star of the show, there are other sweet nuances that rounds it out.

Right… I don’t get sensual when I smell vanilla and I don’t extract lol. Vanilla 28 got a lot of other complexities flying under the radar.

Have been considering Vanilla 28 specifically for layering. Does the juice stain clothes? Always a joy!

It does not seem to stain. Also the mist is superfine. You should be ok. Not only that your juice will be quite light when you get it. Takes many months for the juice to darken up.
