The perfume review starts at 13:09, but before that’ll I’ll be telling you how I feel currently about the perfume world, my collection, and my perfume GOALS going forward ❤❤❤
So happy you are back to feeling passionate about perfume. I have an idea. You can do small haul first impressions and then a few weeks later when you've tested fully, do the same haul again and we can see how your mind changed or stayed the same! I'm way to excited about this but I smell a winning idea here (no pun intended 🤣)
What I'm doing is instead of hauling soon after receiving, I'm doing the fully testing first - ignoring the urge to share the excitement until I've had them for at least a couple of weeks and worn them a few times. 💗 But I'll still do follow ups in the future and update :)
If you were to ever collaborate with a company to create a fragrance, I think it should be with Parfums de Marly. "Ilythia" would fit right in with their line. :)
Personally I now have 3 from the house, and I’ve got them all on sale at a great price (120-160) Safanad is my newest addition but I also have Oriana and Cassili. These three are enough for me and frankly, I love them all so so much. The longevity is pretty good but Safanad blew me away. I have a pretty decent sized collection and I won’t be adding anymore until I finish the bottles I don’t 100% love
I got Valaya and Oriana samples. Valaya is giving me Light Blue vibes. I do, however enjoy Oriana. For anyone looking for their Man, Greenley and Perceval are really nice!
Yesterday I sprayed it on my arm at Nordstrom's and took a shower the next day, and I can STILL detect it on my skin, crazy longevity. I enjoy the scent but nothing mind-blowing like you said.
Ohhh, a new top 10. I love your unboxing videos but like your follow ups after thoroughly testing. Samples, decants are the way to go vs. blind buy expensive perfumes.
I was really thinking about splurging on something from Parfums de Marly and then I realized the men's fragrances are almost double the size and the same price. Why are women paying more for less?
Retail has always done this to women. Until women refuse to buy over a certain limit ( as men do) they will continue to price gouge us. I am so disgusted with price gouging in US. I’m trying to make it to my son’s college graduation, but the outrageous price gouging is preventing me from being able to go. The hotel prices have 6 times the normal rate- like $650 per night! It’s truly disgusting.
@@pwhorselover Yes, but women deeper discounts and a much bigger selection when it comes to clothing and shoes.. especially at upscale department stores like Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus.
Watch Erin Nicole, she didn’t fall in love with it either. If I remember correctly she was sent it free from Parfums de Marly and was trying to find a nice way to say she didn’t like it. I give her credit that she told her true feelings about Valaya and that’s all you can ask for from any influencer.
Dear friend if they are more than 15 perfumes then plz make it a series so we can be still focused 😊 I love all your videos though long short love them all 🌸😘👍
I really loved Valaya, i’ve been wearing my sample every day! I think it’s my favorite PDM but I just can’t afford the price 😭 Thanks for a great review (:
If you like it a lot but want an alternative I think you could like Orlov Paris Orlov… $50 on Maxaroma. Not the exact same but it also gets compared to Fleur Narcotique.
I bought it, tried it few days. really loved it when I smelled it. I sprayed normal amount like 6-7 then smell disappeared after a 2 hours. I had gone back to Nordstrom to buy a fragrance for my husband. The lady at the counter said she smelled the perfume on me. Which at that point I could no longer smell it on me. Anyway went back home sparayed another 10 sprays . Again 2-3 hrs later i no longer smelled it. I asked my daughter to smell it if she can detect it she said she doesn’t smell it. So I returned only because 355 is way to much for just a light perfume. I have fleur narcotic that’s very similar and it last on me and I can smell it on me . I’m gona go and ask for sample and try it on hot days.
Hi! Do you think maybe the atmospheric temperature would have something to do with the sillage? Like it would project more in the hot days but the longevity would be not as good as in the winter?
Yes it wasn’t so much sillage I was annoyed with as it’s just so light and lacking character for what I expect from parfum de marly and for a $400 perfume:/
I really enjoy Athalia and Safanad and think the scent-longevity-quality ratio justifies the cost at least a little, but besides Delina Exclusif (which just isn’t my vibe!) I haven’t loved much else from PDM, or at least not enough to find it worth the price :(
I am so interested in this perfume and can't wait to see what you have to say about it. I went into Nordstrom the other day but they didn't have it yet
I agree - I wish I could have gotten a sample too instead of having to buy the full bottle, but due to location and shipping time it would have put me way behind for reviewing :(
Herod is a tobacco spicy gourmand vanilla. Very unisex but I guess there’s not a boozy vanilla… but idk I’d rather see them take vanilla is a different direction
Yes I should have specified for the women’s fragrances because they do have some vanilla in the men’s. I’d also love to see a nice sweet feminine vanilla!
Wasnt smart really… but I bought Cherry Smoke after 4 wearings (went to the store and tried it 4x, lol) and now I’m selling stuff on Mercari to make up for the $$$$$ 😂
Hi.Pattie here. It will probably still be a hit. Not my vibe. There are so many De Marley lovers and rightfully so. You did a great review and chat. Take sweet care.
I think this perfume is totally overhyped!! I dont understand though when you say its a gorgeous perfume but you dont care for it. That seems contradictory. Seems people are afraid to simply say something doesnt smell good!
I want to pick my first perfume de Marly I just don’t know which one ): DelinaE* or other one… no idea. I found a good discount so I wanted to take the opportunity this time to grab it
The perfume review starts at 13:09, but before that’ll I’ll be telling you how I feel currently about the perfume world, my collection, and my perfume GOALS going forward ❤❤❤
Personally I think hauling a few at a time is better so we can hear your thoughts more thoroughly!!
So excited to find out what your new Top 10 is!!!🤗
Yes it would be like 3 hour video otherwise haha

Agree. A haul follow up review would be great.

Valaya is everything!!!!
My wallet can’t be introduced to niche or anything else right now 😂😅
😂 mine either!!! Lol 😆
Nici al meu nu poate introduce parfumuri de nisă dar îmi plac exagerat de mult😂
I’m with you 😂😂😂😂
If you were to ever collaborate with a company to create a fragrance, I think it should be with Parfums de Marly. "Ilythia" would fit right in with their line. :)
It does sound like a perfume name doesn’t it??:)
Ooh good idea PDM really needs to come up with a perfect luxurious vanilla🙏🏻
100% 🙌🏻
I'm in love with Meliora. It's divine on me. ❤️
I love hearing about your perfume journey!
❤️ thank you for listening 🤗

Those are great prices! Where did you get them on sale ??
Im obsessed with your renewed energy!
Thank you!!!! 💗
I love Valaya! Will definitely be able to wear this to work. I work in healthcare
This is all I needed to know if you could wear it to work.
I got Valaya and Oriana samples. Valaya is giving me Light Blue vibes. I do, however enjoy Oriana. For anyone looking for their Man, Greenley and Perceval are really nice!
Yesterday I sprayed it on my arm at Nordstrom's and took a shower the next day, and I can STILL detect it on my skin, crazy longevity. I enjoy the scent but nothing mind-blowing like you said.
Ooo... I want to see all the new fragrances in a single video 🤩🥰❤️
I'll have to do a collective haul for sure !!! I also personally like big hauls!
Excited to hear about your Cassili alternative! I love Cassili, but find it lacking something, like it needs more oomph.
check out Amouage Guidance!!! *spoiler* - I'll be doing a full review on it soon :)
totally agree with you, for that price tag, it has to be a storm, tornado and hurricane in the wind for me hehe 😉
Hahahaa lol 😂 omg. 😆 lol
Yes I agree 💕
Yes I have been interested in Valaya, I definitely want to get a sample.
“I smell a very good year ahead” excellent, can’t wait ☺️ I truly appreciate all your videos 🩵
I loved this but it gave me gym scent vibes. However, I cannot spend $355 for a gym scent 😬🤣. I sprayed it on my wrist and it lasted all day for sure!
I think I’m crossing over with you girl😂 I’m ready! ❤❤
Huge haul please!😊
I adore light blue 🎉
Decluttering my whole house now too to declutter my mind
I own Delina La Rosee and had my eye on Valaya. After watching your video I'm definitely going to order it. 😂
haha 😆 I'm glad it sounds like your cup of tea :):)
Can layer valaya and la rosee🤤
Meliora is my favorite from parfum de marly . To me it smells like expensive fruity champagne
100% agree wish they would create a gourmand vanilla perfume
And yes, huge haul!!

@@patr70 oh you mean the “ mark it up” outrageously, then give us a “discount “ so we are still paying more?!
I love the coffee chats!
thank you :)

100%. I’m always impressed when influencers are honest about their impressions when gifted.
Dear friend if they are more than 15 perfumes then plz make it a series so we can be still focused 😊
I love all your videos though long short love them all 🌸😘👍
thank you so much!! Yes I can either do a bigger haul spending less time with each fragrance or some smaller hauls and spend more time on each 💕
I really loved Valaya, i’ve been wearing my sample every day! I think it’s my favorite PDM but I just can’t afford the price 😭 Thanks for a great review (:

4 words: Anna Sui Fantasia Mermaid. (You’re welcome in advance) 😉

You have a right to change your mind and to go through different fazes.
Looking forward to hearing about your upcoming samples and what you discover.
So excited to watch later 😍
Thank you … I Love your thoughts and Truth… ❤❤❤
A switch definitely flips and there's no going bck. I'm 1 and year and a half into Niche. Luv your channel ❤️
thank you!!! 💗
You make me want to try Greenwich village by bond9
Crazy you can’t smell this because I feel that way about Oriana
Hi! Do you think maybe the atmospheric temperature would have something to do with the sillage? Like it would project more in the hot days but the longevity would be not as good as in the winter?
Yes it wasn’t so much sillage I was annoyed with as it’s just so light and lacking character for what I expect from parfum de marly and for a $400 perfume:/
Love that you will try with samples. I do that too.
I would love to see you review Ariana Grande's new perfumes mob vanilla and mod blush. Im so obsessed with them!
They’re not available in Canada yet :(
Also, thank you so much for giving honest reviews. Not all people love all perfumes and that's okay.
Thank you 😊
you should try the boucheron quatre range! i feel you'd like the original and the absolu nuit
Mini hauls w wear test would be great
I really like your honesty ❤😊
Mini hauls and big hauls ❤
Cozy lighting ❤
I really enjoy Athalia and Safanad and think the scent-longevity-quality ratio justifies the cost at least a little, but besides Delina Exclusif (which just isn’t my vibe!) I haven’t loved much else from PDM, or at least not enough to find it worth the price :(
It sounds like I will love it!
I am so interested in this perfume and can't wait to see what you have to say about it. I went into Nordstrom the other day but they didn't have it yet
They didn’t have it yet when I was there either a couple weeks ago. I wish it had been!! Would have saved me a lot of money :/
@@thesimplechiclife thank you for this review, really helpful. I think i am at a stage where it takes more to be wow me than this fragrance 😊
Now I want Valaya even more)))))
Just wait 6 months, it might change, that happens a lot, vanilla will age. Yes, it's mostly chemical, but just give it some time anyway
yes, perhaps it will but the perfume in general is just not my cup of tea I don't think!:).
Does anyone think that if you like Gris Dior or Byredo Blanche, I would like this offering?
Very glad I got a sample. It’s not special enough **to me** to warrant the price. It’s pretty but, meh. Great review. Thanks for sharing!
I agree - I wish I could have gotten a sample too instead of having to buy the full bottle, but due to location and shipping time it would have put me way behind for reviewing :(
Appreciate the review!
Great and realistic review!
Thank you 😊

Yes I should have specified for the women’s fragrances because they do have some vanilla in the men’s. I’d also love to see a nice sweet feminine vanilla!
No, I dont get Oriana at aaaall…
Only Narciso Poudree’ 😅😅
Noone else who gets this?
people on fragrantica are saying the same thing which is interesting!
Mini hauls please!:)
I love your videos give me cozy vibes ❤ what is your sign?
Scorpio :)
Also, super interested in niche perfumes
Wasnt smart really… but I bought Cherry Smoke after 4 wearings (went to the store and tried it 4x, lol) and now I’m selling stuff on Mercari to make up for the $$$$$ 😂
😂 Been there!!!!
Big haul!
Hi.Pattie here. It will probably still be a hit. Not my vibe. There are so many De Marley lovers and rightfully so. You did a great review and chat. Take sweet care.
Thank you so much!!
Mini hauls!
Huge haul
It wasn’t for me, at all. I’ve already sold mine. PDM Herod is a nice cherry/tobacco/vanilla and totally unisex.
Mini hauls
either mini hauls or record one giant haul but split it and post in parts so the video doesnt go for an hour.
“A breeze in the wind “ 😅😅
Lol 😆 possibly the worst description of a fragrance of all time lol
They did it alther I think they been hearing you
It’s a freshy
Mini hauls! I find it difficult to watch long vids
Well you can pause it and watch it later...
I think this perfume is totally overhyped!! I dont understand though when you say its a gorgeous perfume but you dont care for it. That seems contradictory. Seems people are afraid to simply say something doesnt smell good!
Completely agree with your review. Very disappointing release. Smells like something my grandma would have worn. 🤪
I want to pick my first perfume de Marly I just don’t know which one ): DelinaE* or other one… no idea. I found a good discount so I wanted to take the opportunity this time to grab it
Mini hauls!
