First of all, I want to apologize if I write something wrong, I still learning english 😅. Recently I discovered your channel and I just fall in love. I'm from Brazil and is kind of difficult find a (brazilian) channel so well maded and serious about perfumes. You explain in the way I can basically smell them. Thank you for this. ❤ edit: You look stuuuunning.
@Bia Jacobs I would like to learn english from you. I think your english it's better then mine. I'm from Mozambique and we both have the same oficial linguage, Portuguese. Jus de Rose is fantastic on review fragances.
i wanna help, first of all, if youre doing smthn you need to say “im” and if its in the past you should say past form of the word like not fall but fell. Keep on going sis!!
You are the Efficiency Expert of fragrances! I have grown so tired of sitting through 15-40 minute videos where maybe a dozen perfumes are evaluated. Typically, I'd need to sit through the sniffing, moaning, eye-rolling, then some adjectives, then more sniffing and moaning, a few more superlatives, giggles and a few more repeat adjectives to finish. Instead, you beautifully sum up what needs to be said about each fragrance in a way that helps me learn more about the subject, as well as grow in my appreciation, so thank you!
I want to thank you for the recommendations on Levant. As a New Orleans woman I don’t often order perfume from Europe. I’m so glad I did. On the first day I wore Levant I was told I smelled great by 4 strangers 😂. I don’t always get complements and I don’t get more than a few. So Thank You 😊
Thank you for recommending BDK Gris Charnel. I discovered your video on this beautiful perfume in the fall and have been using it nightly- it feels so cozy and makes me feel like I’m falling asleep in front of a small bonfire, minus the overwhelming wood scent. I’m completely obsessed!!! 🥰
Everything about this makes me so happy and excited. Fragrance is the key to my heart, not just perfumes but everyday smells like coffee, baking, summer alfresco dinners and cozy winter days. I love your recommendations! Though my bank account does not
thank you so much for this video! Always love to see your comments. You are the most professional fragrance reviewer! Just ordered Delina la Rosee, and will save up for Levant one day. 😘
Your makeup palette here is gorgeous. Imho you look so lovely in the neutral orange brown colors. Tbh i think The deep contrast of red washes you out a bitzz You look incredible in neutrals, golds, pinks, maroon:) so nice to see. Unsolicited compliment… advice 😢😅😊
Anyone else experiencing that when the tryouts (travel size bottles) are out and you’ve actually bought it in full size, you move on to something else…
I think Red roses from jo Malone is very underrated parfum and it’s ok with me because I smell so unique and beautiful. The trail of red roses is very beautiful, feminine and pure fresh rose, I smell so good!!!
I am on the hunt for Levant now! I’ve added a ton of heavier fall/winter fragrances and now need to shift to fresher florals for spring. It doesn’t stay cold for too long in Los Angeles!
I have to admit I was a little sad when you didn’t tell us to spread the fragrant love at the end. 😅 I wish I loved Babycat and Rouge Malachite, but they’re not for me. That’s why it’s so great that there are endless choices! I love Gris Charnel lately, Safanad, Alien Goddess Intense, and Bouquet Encore. I hope to add L’eau D’Hiver soon. I also bought several others over the holidays to enjoy, and my collection is growing! Ack!
So difficult to choose only 10😅 I have a “small” collection of 40 fragrances and love them all😍But my top 10 would be (in no particular order): BR540 Delina Rouge Malachite Jasmin Rouge by Tom Ford Ylang in Gold Atomic Rose Coco Mademoiselle Xerjoff La Capitale D&G Light Blue Intense Hermès Un jardin sur la lagune
Love your recommendations. Agree with Glossier You, nothing better than a nice nighttime scent post shower. BTW- what is the fabulous red-coral lipstick you wear, the color is amazing!
Hello. Congrats for your work and professionalism. Which Dolce & Gabanna are you referring to exactly ? I was curious to know...Thanks ! Personnaly, I have Essence The One but I do not know if this is the one you were hinting at.
I bought Scherzo blinbly after your videos and I'm absolutely OBSESSED with it. It is seriously SO SO GOOD. I need to be careful because I only got the 14ml. But girl I'm absolutely in love with this perfume and I'm getting the 100ml as soon as I can afford it. There is really nothing like it.
I tried Scherzo just based on Josephine’s praises of it and I was not let down at all. It’s absolutely one of a kind. Yes it’s a rose frag, but it’s just so much more than that. From initial spray to the dry down the scent is layered and interesting. I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of it. I can’t wait to try another one of Josephine’s recommendations. ❤️
How strong is the oud in it? I have not found a fragrance with oud in it that I can stand (smells fecal and animalic to me) but as I understand most fragrances are made with the lowest quality oud or some synthetic accords meant to mimic oud.
I just opened Ormond Jayne "Lavant". I ordered from Europe before I saw this video and I it is my favorite fragrance in my collection. I love it as much or maybe more than Armani Rouge Malachite, Musc Noir , Gris Dior and BDK Gris Charnel. I want to try Glossier "YOU" because you made it sound so great. I do think Lavant is similar to Fleur Narcotique by Exnihlo, but Lavant is stronger. Thank you for your videos!! Baby Cat is hard to find in New York and Paradise Riviera is very sold out.
I got Levant as a Christmas gift-yes, because of you 😊 Just getting to know it, but have already gotten compliments. Beautiful fragrance! I also received a complimentary box of samples that includes the upcoming launch, Sakura. Very nice as well! Hope you’ll review it ❤
For Rouge Malachite, I found a really close dupe that’s actually marketed for men. It’s from a Azerbaijan house called Pilot 65, and the perfume is called Ambitious Pour Homme. It’s really the same as Rouge Malachite at a fraction of the cost.
@@jusderose hello my dear. I love all your recommendations. Only problem is most don’t ship to Africa. But I get what I can. Thank you for all the good work. 😘🥰😍
Hi! Can you please tell me, is Ambre Nuit rather a masculine scent? E.g. Gris Charnel was too masculine-leaning to me and I gave it away. Now I consider a blind buy of Ambre Nuit (though I once smelled it, but don’t remember the mentioned aspect)…
You’ll have to try Vanagloria as Babycat is being discontinued. Both created by Dominique Ropion. He actually created Vanagloria first and they smell pretty similar but Vanagloria is softer and has more vanilla.
@@ladyYeniel all the European stores are out of stock. People have shared sales associated told them it’s discontinued and screenshots with ysl customer service saying it’s been discontinued. Some people think maybe it’s going to be reformulated since this has happened before with another one from the line.
I had heard this too, and also heard how similar Vanagloria was to BC. I bought it and they really are incredibly similar. I have a 10ml decant of Babycat so I sprayed it on one wrist, and my new Vanagloria on the other. I prefer the opening of Vanagloria because it’s not as intensely leathery as BC, but I slightly prefer the dry down of BC because it’s a little more incensy. However….go buy Vanagloria, it’s ‘almost’ identical and you definitely won’t be disappointed. ❤
I also really Love your reviews and how You are consistent with what You say from one vídeo to the other. You keep true to your preferênces and we can definetly see it ! To My eyes You are the floral lady of perfumes, passion for Jasmin and other white florals hehehe Love youuuu
I bought 2 samples from Ormonde Jayne based on your recommendations: Ta'if and Tanger. I have certainly smelled hundreds of perfumes in my life, but these 2 took my breath away. As you spoke about Rouge Malachite as the creamiest white florals, for me Ta'if is the creamiest rose I have ever smelled. And of course, Tanger resembling BR 540, but probably even better. I really must explore Ormonde Jayne more... I also have Aerin based on your recommendation. Hibiscus Palm is fine, but I think I reached for the Mediterranean Honeysuckle more. And Amber Musc is a dream, I am scared to spray it. Have you tried Isnard Fleur de Grasse? It is a beautiful clean jasmine with green tea note. Armani Prive Vert Malachite is also a very pretty green vanilla jasmine. From white florals mixture I like Oud Jaune Intense, but I know it is a bit heavy. P. S. M. Micallef Royal Muska is another musc fragrance which melts me 🤪
Hi! I loved Tanger too... and bought it on the spot! I also got Taif. Another one I love is Damask - so stunning. I haven't tried Fleur de Grasse... next time I'm in the region I'll give it a sniff!
In my opinion these are similar (or have similar vibes) to Rouge Malachite: Marfa Memo, YSL Supreme Bouquet, Oros by Armaf. My personal favorite is Oros & I feel it’s the strongest & lasts the longest, which can also be its downfall as it can get a bit headache-inducing & loud, louder than Alien I’d say😂 I don’t think I’m gonna repurchase it, but I like the idea of it 😂 The other 3 are softer & smell more organic 😂 Overall I’d still choose Oros above them. You can always wear less or layer it.
My top ten is bal d’afrique byredo, pas ce soir bdk ,sweet morphine ex nilho , féminin pluriel by mfk ,blanche bête by liquide imaginaire, Angel share kilian , musc noir by narciso Rodriguez , Nishane hundred Silent Ways and the musc by essential parfum
Glossier You is so so good! I mix it with a Slow Burn from a small niche house of the same name. SB is all the cashmere and really works with the peppery You.
I only do nontoxic fragrances these days so this would be my current favorites. Ellis Brooklyn (all Jerome Epinette) Rrose - young smelling citrus rose Myth -ultimate light, clean girl scent. Kinda reminds me of biolage hair products. Salt - Salty beachy floral West - bright citrus with a very cool basil note. Slighlt sweet but leans unisex 7 Virtues (all made with essential oils) Blackberry Lily- Blackberry with caramel and patchouli. This reminds me of a black berry version of Miss Dior edt Patchouli Citrus-Bright peony and citrus fruit-chouli. Based on seeing your favorites, you'd like this I think Good Chemistry Sugar Berry- pretty much a slighly raspberry version of Pink Sugar. Almost an exact dupe Magnolia Violet-This smells like a more Violet version of Daisy by Mac Jacobs Love your vids! Can you do a nontoxic favorites video?
I don't get good enough performance from original GC for winter wear, I actually wear it on hotter summer days. I think that Amouage attar was 12ml, but might've been 10ml too - really don't remember.
I love Moresque “Lady Tubereuse” it is an Amber Floral with the holy trinity blended to perfection with an Amber base. Also intoxicating. Great list of your favourites.
Definitely think of Levant, Scherzo and Hibiscus Palm when I think of you. Love that you seem to have consistent favorites. So many on my wish list to try because of you! 😊 Will you be trying the new Parfums de Marly? Seems to be a clean musk fragrance so I’m curious what you’ll think of it!
i love love your videos! I keep hearing your comments about Scherzo and in other videos too you have described the scent. I have never smelled it as it's not available in retail stores where i am right now but i do wonder, based on your description, if it smells similar to a discontinued absolute gem of a perfume Stella by Stella McCartney? Have you smelled that one? It is so heavenly
You are seriously so bad for my wallet 😅 I love all your recommendations… I have many of them that you have recommended so far.. Eveytime you recommend something, I’m like ‘wooh that should be good’. Even when I see other people recommending a perfume I always ask myself whether you have reviewed the perfume yet, if not, I just wait for your recommendation 😬 Thank you for bringing us such beautiful fragrances! I am waiting for you to one day launch yours. Also, could you please review god of fire by Stephane Humbert Lucas as I’m looking for a nice mango perfume and still haven’t found one that’s juicy and lasts..
Honestly, I have both PDM Rosee and Original, the rosee mellows to a scent exactly like Chloe Rose, whilst the Orig dies down to Lancome La vie est belle. If u are looking for cheap alternatives go for those. I am still searching for my unique scent… 😢 Even Killian dont be shy smelt like a kiwi cologne from my childhood worth $3. Baccarat rouge has dupe cloud by ariana. I just want that one fragrance that’s unique, sexy and feminine, fresh yet musky, and sophisticated. I did love Ange ou demon by Givenchy but they discontinued it and it doesnt last long ughhhh
Also glossier You is same same with Versace Yellow crystal. PDM Oriana smells like Prada Kiss. So much more i noticed smelling the same, let me know if u want more…
I love several of these, particularly Levant and NR Musc Noir, heavenly! I sampled scherzo and unfortunately didn’t work. On my skin it’s very dry and strong - almost smells like corn chips? Lol I’m not sure which ingredient but it was off putting. I’d say sample before you buy on that one, ladies.
I have all of them apart for Delina - La Rosee. Clearly loving your recommendations! Tried the Delinas as well but think I'll go with the original one as the Rosee doesn't last on my skin unfortunately. Thank you for the recommendations Josephine!
My favoutites for winter are Gris Charnel and Poirier d’un Soir, summer Hibiscus Palm and I also love Ex Nihilos In paradise Riviera, Blanc Polychrom. All year round Nuda Veritas. I also enjoy lately Memo’s African leather and Sherwood. I usually enjoy fresh florals a lot. I’d like to test Delina la rosee and valaya. I think I ‘m starting to fall in love with London and Zanzibar from MOAPC.
When it comes to perfumes with the vibe of Rouge Malachite - please try La Perla Possibilities. It's a stunning fragrance, can't pick a favorite between these two, love them both.
Have you ever tried Armani Privé Magenta Tanzanite? I tried it recently and just fell in love with it!! Amazing vanilla, spices and coffee. Love your channel!
I love your content, so creative, elegant and so reliable as I feel so ❤ so nice to see your suggestions talked by some influencers about perfumes here in my country, Türkiye and see how beautiful perfumes you suggest and discover!! I plan to see my perfume collection so that you might suggest me something beautiful, hope you can see my collection as well when I send you 🎉 😊 truly binge Watching your content and posts everyday. We love you ❤
Rouge malachite and belayed dolled up has a similarly, I had dolled up first but it doesn’t stopped me from buying rouge malachite because of the hype from my favorite fragrance reviewers ❤😊including you 🥰😘
Hi Josephine, Great video as always. Been trying to see if you’ve reviewed the Chloe rose intense naturelle as we both loved the other naturelle. It got me thinking it could be a great idea if you ever get time to do some videos on specific fragrance notes. I’m really trying to find the perfect gardenia fragrance and fig. I heard of the usual suspects for both but would love your commentary to really help imagine the scent profile. Thankyou for all your videos, you’re doing a great job 😊
@@chana6184 I was going to wait until spring to get it but I had a PDM discount code that was going to expire so I went ahead and ordered it. I'm really curious about the new one that just came out too, I really hope they include a sample of it in my order!
I'm so confused as to why YSL would launch Babycat in 2022 and discontinue it when it's so popular. I can't find it in the US other than second hand & wildly expensive.
Love your list! I'm more of a unisex-leaning fragrance lover but I do enjoy a feminine floral now and then. My ten for life are: Tiziana Terenzi - Eclix The Harmonist - Hypnotizing Fire Narciso Rodriguez for her EDT Starck - Peau de Soie V Canto - Malatesta Jean Desprez - Bal á Versailles Moresque - Soul Batik Molinard - Oud Magnetique Attar Collection - Al Rayhan Dior Homme Intense
Lovely as always, so passionate; any childhood memories by certain fragrances? Could you do such video just for fun? I’ve recently sniffed Chanel No 5 and it brought back beautiful childhood memory I totally just wouldn’t remember had I not sniffed it, I think, that made me so happy, it’s actually on my wish list now…
Great list!!!! I have been waiting to get my nose on Babycat 😢 can’t find anywhere. Oh and Scherzo is one of my favs…. Such a unique rose☺️ it’s the freshness
You seem to like the same notes I do. You had me at peony in the beginning. My favorite flower. Years ago Banana Republic sold a perfume that smelled exactly like peonies. I loved it. My favorites in my collection so far are L’Interdit and Libre Intense.
I bought Rouge Malachite after seeing it featured in your more recent videos and... I very much dislike it. Unfortunately I find it too floral and tart and just not my taste. Anyway I'm leaving a comment because it does somehow remind me of one of my favourites Amouage Honour (mine is from 2011, I know they brought out a newer 2021 version that I haven't sampled) so I wondered what you thought of that one.
I finally have a decent of Babycat. It is very good. Leather at first and it resembles That #5 perfume- Rosendo. But then it changes and the vanilla peaks through and a sweet, subtle touch of incense which is very much more subtle than that in Encens Suave. After it's on my skin a while it smells curiously like bread dough to me- not in s bad way- I was just surprised. Since I have a nice decant, I will stick with my still-beloved Lune Feline. My top ten are: Le Lion Lune Feline Vanilla 28 Malesia Hibiscus Palm Dua'a Princess Therapy Histoire D'Eau Cuir de Nuit (or SDV if I ever get it) Ylang In Gold Santal Piano
Hi Josephine, did you try Vert Malachite? I think it’s beautiful, fresher than the Rouge one but really nice, especially for spring/summer season. Let me know! 😊
Alien Fusion (Mugler) smells so much like Rouge Malachite. It is sadly discontinued. Glamour from M.Micallef is also in the same family as Rouge Malachite. They all remind me of Alien with a little bit of green or spice. Very nice. Thank you for your list! I am the proud owner of Lune Feline, Hibiscus Palm, and Levant solely at your recommendation. They are my top choices. Levant Is wonderful. It is in my top five and everyone compliments me when I wear that fragrance. It isn’t loud, so I was surprised that others noticed it. It is nice to be complimented. You have also saved me so much money with your honest reviews of hyped fragrances that you were not that impressed with. Thank you!
Hi there. Just LOVE your videos, they are so informative but I tend to get confused with all the descriptions. Can you helpo me. I absolutely adore Flower by Kenzo because of its "powderyness". What other perfume would be like tis please. Hope you can help me and look forward to watching more of your videos xx xx

I tend to venture out and try new things, but always return to Chanel.
This happens to me all the time.
Omg same and I think about it so much and once I buy it I get tired of it
Same... & Now, I try not to buy full size.. Always buy 30ml.. Got the idea from Amy Glam (another perfume reviewer)
Yes I have By The Fireplace and only used 10% since November last year
I think Red roses from jo Malone is very underrated parfum and it’s ok with me because I smell so unique and beautiful. The trail of red roses is very beautiful, feminine and pure fresh rose, I smell so good!!!

I also have Aerin based on your recommendation. Hibiscus Palm is fine, but I think I reached for the Mediterranean Honeysuckle more. And Amber Musc is a dream, I am scared to spray it.
Have you tried Isnard Fleur de Grasse? It is a beautiful clean jasmine with green tea note. Armani Prive Vert Malachite is also a very pretty green vanilla jasmine.
From white florals mixture I like Oud Jaune Intense, but I know it is a bit heavy.
P. S. M. Micallef Royal Muska is another musc fragrance which melts me 🤪
Hi! I loved Tanger too... and bought it on the spot! I also got Taif. Another one I love is Damask - so stunning. I haven't tried Fleur de Grasse... next time I'm in the region I'll give it a sniff!
@@jusderose I always listen to you
... and my nose 😁

In my opinion these are similar (or have similar vibes) to Rouge Malachite: Marfa Memo, YSL Supreme Bouquet, Oros by Armaf. My personal favorite is Oros & I feel it’s the strongest & lasts the longest, which can also be its downfall as it can get a bit headache-inducing & loud, louder than Alien I’d say😂 I don’t think I’m gonna repurchase it, but I like the idea of it 😂 The other 3 are softer & smell more organic 😂 Overall I’d still choose Oros above them. You can always wear less or layer it.
My top ten is bal d’afrique byredo, pas ce soir bdk ,sweet morphine ex nilho , féminin pluriel by mfk ,blanche bête by liquide imaginaire, Angel share kilian , musc noir by narciso Rodriguez , Nishane hundred Silent Ways and the musc by essential parfum
Try La Perla Possibilities! It‘s a mix between Alien and Rouge Malachite.
I have! Tbh I didn't get the wow I was hoping for but will continue to test it out
Ich liebe deine (und Lenis von Lenis scent) Videos. So sehr appetitlich präsentiert niemand Düfte. Vielen Dank
Hi Josephine, a lot of people say that the new formulation of Glossier You perfume is not worth it. Would love to know your oppinion about that... ❤
Glossier You is so so good! I mix it with a Slow Burn from a small niche house of the same name. SB is all the cashmere and really works with the peppery You.
I only do nontoxic fragrances these days so this would be my current favorites.
Ellis Brooklyn (all Jerome Epinette)
Rrose - young smelling citrus rose
Myth -ultimate light, clean girl scent. Kinda reminds me of biolage hair products.
Salt - Salty beachy floral
West - bright citrus with a very cool basil note. Slighlt sweet but leans unisex
7 Virtues (all made with essential oils)
Blackberry Lily- Blackberry with caramel and patchouli. This reminds me of a black berry version of Miss Dior edt
Patchouli Citrus-Bright peony and citrus fruit-chouli. Based on seeing your favorites, you'd like this I think
Good Chemistry
Sugar Berry- pretty much a slighly raspberry version of Pink Sugar. Almost an exact dupe
Magnolia Violet-This smells like a more Violet version of Daisy by Mac Jacobs
Love your vids! Can you do a nontoxic favorites video?
I would like a non toxic video as well. Can you expand on your selections. Where to purchase etc…
I don't get good enough performance from original GC for winter wear, I actually wear it on hotter summer days. I think that Amouage attar was 12ml, but might've been 10ml too - really don't remember.
I love Moresque “Lady Tubereuse” it is an Amber Floral with the holy trinity blended to perfection with an Amber base. Also intoxicating. Great list of your favourites.
What's the D&G equivalent of Malachite please? The white Kobane in the Armani prive line is gorgeous
please review la perla possibilities and bond9 female fragrances 😍.
Hi Josephine! Thanks for such a nice video. I love that you have true favourites 💕. I tried Rouge Malachite once, and it reminded me of Alien Fusion.
Definitely think of Levant, Scherzo and Hibiscus Palm when I think of you. Love that you seem to have consistent favorites. So many on my wish list to try because of you! 😊 Will you be trying the new Parfums de Marly? Seems to be a clean musk fragrance so I’m curious what you’ll think of it!
Ah that makes me so happy :) Yes I'll for sure be trying the new PDM fragrance :)
Love your work I think you should try Ormonde Jayne Indus it’s Beautiful
Supreme Bouquet from YSL smells quite similar to Rouge Malachite, minus the balminess .
Yes. And it performs very well.
i love love your videos! I keep hearing your comments about Scherzo and in other videos too you have described the scent. I have never smelled it as it's not available in retail stores where i am right now but i do wonder, based on your description, if it smells similar to a discontinued absolute gem of a perfume Stella by Stella McCartney? Have you smelled that one? It is so heavenly
You are seriously so bad for my wallet 😅
I love all your recommendations… I have many of them that you have recommended so far.. Eveytime you recommend something, I’m like ‘wooh that should be good’. Even when I see other people recommending a perfume I always ask myself whether you have reviewed the perfume yet, if not, I just wait for your recommendation 😬
Thank you for bringing us such beautiful fragrances! I am waiting for you to one day launch yours.
Also, could you please review god of fire by Stephane Humbert Lucas as I’m looking for a nice mango perfume and still haven’t found one that’s juicy and lasts..
Thank you so much ❤ I'll give God of Fire a proper try and report back x
Honestly, I have both PDM Rosee and Original, the rosee mellows to a scent exactly like Chloe Rose, whilst the Orig dies down to Lancome La vie est belle. If u are looking for cheap alternatives go for those. I am still searching for my unique scent… 😢
Even Killian dont be shy smelt like a kiwi cologne from my childhood worth $3. Baccarat rouge has dupe cloud by ariana.
I just want that one fragrance that’s unique, sexy and feminine, fresh yet musky, and sophisticated. I did love Ange ou demon by Givenchy but they discontinued it and it doesnt last long ughhhh
Also glossier You is same same with Versace Yellow crystal. PDM Oriana smells like Prada Kiss. So much more i noticed smelling the same, let me know if u want more…
I love several of these, particularly Levant and NR Musc Noir, heavenly! I sampled scherzo and unfortunately didn’t work. On my skin it’s very dry and strong - almost smells like corn chips? Lol I’m not sure which ingredient but it was off putting. I’d say sample before you buy on that one, ladies.
I have all of them apart for Delina - La Rosee. Clearly loving your recommendations! Tried the Delinas as well but think I'll go with the original one as the Rosee doesn't last on my skin unfortunately. Thank you for the recommendations Josephine!
Love that we share similar tastes ❤
Musc Noir is beautiful, sexy but approachable. Love it.
I loove Ysl Libre Intense and L'Interdit edp on woman♥️
For similar vibe to rouge malachite, try Elie Saab essence no.9 tuberose. It is very beautiful and underrated.
Thank you so much! ❤
I love musk noir! I’m so glad you love it too!❤
My favoutites for winter are Gris Charnel and Poirier d’un Soir, summer Hibiscus Palm and I also love Ex Nihilos In paradise Riviera, Blanc Polychrom. All year round Nuda Veritas. I also enjoy lately Memo’s African leather and Sherwood. I usually enjoy fresh florals a lot. I’d like to test Delina la rosee and valaya. I think I ‘m starting to fall in love with London and Zanzibar from MOAPC.
When it comes to perfumes with the vibe of Rouge Malachite - please try La Perla Possibilities. It's a stunning fragrance, can't pick a favorite between these two, love them both.
Have you ever tried Armani Privé Magenta Tanzanite? I tried it recently and just fell in love with it!! Amazing vanilla, spices and coffee. Love your channel!
I have and I think it smells really good!
Nishane tuberoza might be on the similar line as that of rouge malachite! Especially with the white floral accords!
Aerin Hibiscus palm and Delina la rosee for the win 💕
I love your content, so creative, elegant and so reliable as I feel so ❤ so nice to see your suggestions talked by some influencers about perfumes here in my country, Türkiye and see how beautiful perfumes you suggest and discover!! I plan to see my perfume collection so that you might suggest me something beautiful, hope you can see my collection as well when I send you 🎉 😊 truly binge Watching your content and posts everyday. We love you ❤
Rouge malachite and belayed dolled up has a similarly, I had dolled up first but it doesn’t stopped me from buying rouge malachite because of the hype from my favorite fragrance reviewers ❤😊including you 🥰😘
Hi Josephine,
Great video as always. Been trying to see if you’ve reviewed the Chloe rose intense naturelle as we both loved the other naturelle. It got me thinking it could be a great idea if you ever get time to do some videos on specific fragrance notes. I’m really trying to find the perfect gardenia fragrance and fig. I heard of the usual suspects for both but would love your commentary to really help imagine the scent profile. Thankyou for all your videos, you’re doing a great job 😊
Thank you for another lovely video>
Top 10:
Sentosa Simone Andreoli
Gris Charnel Extrait
Rouge Sarây Atelier des Ors
Tobacolor Dior
Mojave Ghost Byredo
Coromandel Chanel
Seta Moresque ( thanks to you)
Botafumeiro Carner Barcelona
Oliban Phaedon
Amber Desire Carolina Herrera
Thank you for sharing your list!
My full size Delina La Rosee is arriving tomorrow 🙂 I don't really like the original but love this flanker!
Me too, I love wearing it on a hot summer's day.
@@chana6184 I was going to wait until spring to get it but I had a PDM discount code that was going to expire so I went ahead and ordered it. I'm really curious about the new one that just came out too, I really hope they include a sample of it in my order!
@Melissa Witt .its definitely worth getting if you anyway have a discount code. I haven't tried the new one yet. Lol
@@chana6184 yeah it's called Valaya, it's in a white bottle and it's a floral woody musky perfume with some freshness so I'm definitely intrigued! 🙂
I'm so confused as to why YSL would launch Babycat in 2022 and discontinue it when it's so popular. I can't find it in the US other than second hand & wildly expensive.
Love your list! I'm more of a unisex-leaning fragrance lover but I do enjoy a feminine floral now and then. My ten for life are:
Tiziana Terenzi - Eclix
The Harmonist - Hypnotizing Fire
Narciso Rodriguez for her EDT
Starck - Peau de Soie
V Canto - Malatesta
Jean Desprez - Bal á Versailles
Moresque - Soul Batik
Molinard - Oud Magnetique
Attar Collection - Al Rayhan
Dior Homme Intense
Im so sad because YSL Babycat did NOT go well with my skin :( Hopefully I can try Lune Feline and it suits me better.
Another fabulous video , Josephine 🥰 I need a few perfumes you recommended, in my collection 😊 Much love from Portugal 🇵🇹
Lovely as always, so passionate; any childhood memories by certain fragrances? Could you do such video just for fun? I’ve recently sniffed Chanel No 5 and it brought back beautiful childhood memory I totally just wouldn’t remember had I not sniffed it, I think, that made me so happy, it’s actually on my wish list now…
Thank you for watching! That would be a good video idea :)
Great list!!!! I have been waiting to get my nose on Babycat 😢 can’t find anywhere. Oh and Scherzo is one of my favs…. Such a unique rose☺️ it’s the freshness
You recommended many times the Armani Privee "Rouge Malachite" too bad to be discontinued.
You seem to like the same notes I do. You had me at peony in the beginning. My favorite flower. Years ago Banana Republic sold a perfume that smelled exactly like peonies. I loved it. My favorites in my collection so far are L’Interdit and Libre Intense.
Indeed we have similar tastes - love L'Interdit and Libre Intense :)
In my bucket list:
Levant, Scherzo and In Paradise Riviera.
I bought Rouge Malachite after seeing it featured in your more recent videos and... I very much dislike it. Unfortunately I find it too floral and tart and just not my taste. Anyway I'm leaving a comment because it does somehow remind me of one of my favourites Amouage Honour (mine is from 2011, I know they brought out a newer 2021 version that I haven't sampled) so I wondered what you thought of that one.
I want to thank you recommendation of perfumes . This is my 1st day
Rouge malachite reminds me of Poison original. The dry-down is different though.
I’ve smelled flament rose merchant of Venice remind me a little of Rouge Malachite not that it is similar but it got a hint of that malachite vibe.
I finally have a decent of Babycat. It is very good. Leather at first and it resembles That #5 perfume- Rosendo. But then it changes and the vanilla peaks through and a sweet, subtle touch of incense which is very much more subtle than that in Encens Suave. After it's on my skin a while it smells curiously like bread dough to me- not in s bad way- I was just surprised. Since I have a nice decant, I will stick with my still-beloved Lune Feline.
My top ten are:
Le Lion
Lune Feline
Vanilla 28
Malesia
Hibiscus Palm
Dua'a Princess Therapy
Histoire D'Eau
Cuir de Nuit (or SDV if I ever get it)
Ylang In Gold
Santal Piano
Wow... These perfume collection really great
Hi Josephine, did you try Vert Malachite? I think it’s beautiful, fresher than the Rouge one but really nice, especially for spring/summer season. Let me know! 😊
Alien Fusion (Mugler) smells so much like Rouge Malachite. It is sadly discontinued. Glamour from M.Micallef is also in the same family as Rouge Malachite. They all remind me of Alien with a little bit of green or spice. Very nice.
Thank you for your list! I am the proud owner of Lune Feline, Hibiscus Palm, and Levant solely at your recommendation. They are my top choices. Levant Is wonderful. It is in my top five and everyone compliments me when I wear that fragrance. It isn’t loud, so I was surprised that others noticed it. It is nice to be complimented.
You have also saved me so much money with your honest reviews of hyped fragrances that you were not that impressed with. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing similar fragrances to RM, I'll try out the M.Micallef one. And thank you for your support, you're too kind ❤
Have you ever tried "Bloomastral" from J.U.S. Parfums? I think you might like it. It remembers me a lot of Rouge Malachite❤
Great selection! Very summery!
Hi there. Just LOVE your videos, they are so informative but I tend to get confused with all the descriptions. Can you helpo me. I absolutely adore Flower by Kenzo because of its "powderyness". What other perfume would be like tis please. Hope you can help me and look forward to watching more of your videos xx xx
Another great video! Many thanks for the quality content and hello from Montreal!
