Thanks!

Really? I may have to revisit this one then

Interesting. I must agree that over time, i have noticed more floral notes as well.

@@MargaritaThePerfumista thanks for responding. Just had to share my opinion because I know some love don't be shy lovers will blind by this looking for something similar and may be disappointed. Personally I can't stand love don't be shy or any of the killians. They are strong for no reason. I don't mean best mode, just abrasive and a bit masculine. But many love that. This to me is such a stark difference because it's almost like the epitome of a feminine fragrances in my opinion. I wonder about the projection and longevity though. Which is why I haven't purchased yet. Love your videos and opinion.

@tahitianpearl220 Iagree most Kilians tend to be abrasive. The worst one, IMO is good girl gone bad. It literally turns my stomach.

Heyyy! Another gourmand lover!

Absolutely ❤❤❤❤😊

I think that it performs great because I overspray. I never just spritz. I typically do 16 sprays of anything I put on. Skin and clothes combined

Funny how that works! I'm also a gourmand lover but there are a few florals that just WOW me.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you for confirming 😀

Nice! Thank you 😊

Hi! Please elaborate, if you don't mind. I'd love to hear your perspective.

Please add context

I shall! Thank you 😊

Mixbar is typically $20

Musk Tahara by Maison d'orient. It smells amazing!

This definitely helps. Thank you!!

Great strategy. I buy decants a lot now and i usually don't want the bottle after I finish a 10ml decant.

Wow! Thank you so much

Thank you for your feedback. Please elaborate what you mean.

@MargaritaThePerfumista Hello. One of these fragrance addiction vids cane up in my feed about 2 weeks ago, and ever since then, more have been showing up. One thing that I find strange is that many of the channel hosts that are providing guidance on fragrance addiction have hundreds of bottles on display themselves. Its like the pot calling the kettle black. Just because a person can pay for their addiction doesn't mean that they dont have one. Its like the celebrity that owns 50 cars. Do they need 50 cars? In your case, when you said that the only reason you have so many bottles is because you view the acquisition of bottles as collecting pieces of art. To me, that just sounded like justification for not being able to stop purchasing fragrances. I have a 43 bottle collection that took me 3 years to build. I paid for all with cash or my debit card. But when I got to 20 bottles, I started soul searching and questioning whether I had an addiction. Its only 40 bottles, but I still think its an addiction because I haven't stopped purchasing yet. We live in a global collective that encourages wasteful spending and living in excess.

@Nebuheru thank you for elaborating. Please understand that an appreciation for something is not necessarily an addiction, especially if one is truly enjoying the items that they collect and curate. One person's perception of excess may be another's perception of minimalism. It's all a matter of perspective. If having things only because we need them, that's not real enjoyment in my opinion. It's great to also be able to have things we want. If people were buying things just for the sake of having them or buying them, then yes, that could be a red flag, but have them, use them, afford them and enjoy them, that's far from addiction. I'm curious, please remind me which video I said that the only reason that I have so many bottles is because I view them as works of art, as I don't recall. Also, I'd love to know why this would be indicative of an addiction.

​@MargaritaThePerfumista My bad you actually said that you view collecting bottles as having a museum and acquiring great pieces, which is the same thing as acquiring works of art. I think my comments speak for themselves.

@Nebuheru I respectfully disagree, but truly thank you for sharing your perspective.

Really? I have to check out paris corner. I don't know them

Paris corner is middle eastern as well as khadlaj, they're produce some of the best frags for a real good price. Oh, tropical kiss by fragrance world is a mango scent that's supposed to be divine. They do dupe western frags though.

@charlottemilam2733 you're about to send me down a new rabbit hole! Lol

Thank you. So glad to know it's not just me!

Thank you!

It’s marketing what makes them so expensive. Most of the niche perfumes don’t perform like designers do in my honest opinion. There are a couple of really good niche perfumes/ houses, but the rest is bland, rubbery, leathery, too sweet, bitter, cloying and overpriced. There are fragrances for hundreds of euros with poor performance (Byredo, Diptyque and Guerlain’s Spiritueuse Double Vanille for example), while the designers never did me so dirty. For me, most Xerjoff, Kurkdjan, Kilian, Frederic Malle, Parfums de Marly, Casamorati, Amouage and Creed are not pleasing to my nose. Nauseating scents. Marc-Antoine Barros and Creed were the absolute worst for me. Hermes, Kenzo, Cartier, Boucheron and Van Cleef are affordable and the absolute best. My favourite niche houses are Penhaligon’s and Grossmith 😊.

@m.w.1121 i must agree about a lot of the niche performance. I also agree that many niche scents do no not smell good. Amouage and Nishane come to mind for me, because their scents are too spicy for me.

Thank you!

I've done the same! Lol. Im always shopping, but making sure only to buy what i really want.

Wow! Thank you so much.

No, lol

@@MargaritaThePerfumista If you do end up purchasing it and are willing to decant some, you'll have to let us know! It sounds like perfection in a bottle lol.

@loriliane i decided not to get it. I was able to replicate tue scent enough by mixing 2 really good body sprays I got from etsy, for a fraction of the cost

@@MargaritaThePerfumista Do you mind to share witch body sprays? I am dying for a great chocolate scent. So far, chocolate greedy is my favorite - but I don't just love love love it. Thank you!!

@loriliane of course! Ill be doing a formal haul video for this shop, but it's called Endless Glow Skincare : Caramel Vanilla and Hot Cocoa

Strawberry and Brown sugar by Beloved

Thank you. It must be discontinued. Looked it up and target has the brand but not strawberry and brown sugar. So disappointed as it sound delectable. I have strawberry sugar high, strawberry kiss and heavenly lilies and know strawberry and brown sugar would just be delicious with them. Do you own nishane hundred silent ways. Thinking of blind buying and wonder what you think if you are familiar. Thanks.

@tahitianpearl220 i decluttered hundred silent ways. i have a full review of it on my channel,.in fact for a good strawberry lotion, I am obsessed with the etsy shop Endless Glow Skincare. Some of the best gourmand body treats ever.

Yes, I see them :). I love princess layered with love don't be shy. Angels share was too masculine for me, so i decluttered it. Princess, the ginger note is too much for me so the orange blossom, neroli marshmallow combo is a great balance.

@@MargaritaThePerfumista Thank you!! Not a ginger fan, so was afriad that might be the case w/ Princess - but wasn't quite ready to give up, because I LOVE matcha and marshmallow.
