Yes, please do a Guerlain video. I agree with your declutter choices! I too love classic Guerlain, and love Black Perfecto like you, but the rest of that range have me befuddled- yes- too sweet!! I have sold 10 of my fragrances that bored me and am selling a few more. :)
Except for Vol de Nuit, my favourite of all the GUERLAINs. I'm grateful that Guerlain still makes it available, albeit significantly watered down in the current bee bottle, but I love it so much that even watered down Vol de Nuit EdT is better than no Vol de Nuit. I have half a 90 ml refill of VdN EdT from the eighties that I cherish.
And regarding minimalism and owning/loving many perfumes and makeup, to me minimalism is about only owning a curated collection (regardless of quantity) of what I love and use.
Great video! I've been decluttering my perfumes for about a year now. I've gotten rid of over 50 of them at this point and am very happy with what I have left. I may even go a bit smaller with my collection. Once you start letting them go, the ones who don't belong, slowly but surely, become more obvious. So I just take my time and try not to rush myself. Just like anything else, it is a process.
Absolutely. It is most useful to focus on the fragrances you love and pay attention to ones that are just not getting any use. Those are rationally the ones that are less likely to "belong" (excellent way that you put it in your comment!)
Love your review of the Shalimars. I've only been disappointed with more recent releases from Guerlain. Their reputation rests on their history but not on their current releases.
I love Samsara and the og Shalimar. The rest does not represent the brand imo.
plenty of good stuff in their line, just not on the designer side of things unfortunately. the mess that is LPRN line and the mon guerlain - well, i feel some type of way about it :)))
A definite yes on the Guerlain video!
That being said, if you are still living in Montreal... I would be interested in a couple of your fragrances.
What is the best way to reach you? Thanks!!
Hey. I moved to the East Coast. So, not in MTL anymore, sadly!
Yes! Where are you selling these?!
Thank you for your honesty! I had the soufflé on my to get list. I don’t have a Guerlain boutique near me. Your experienced review would be awesome. Oh, Btw, i think a lot of the Elizabeth and James are discontinued. I cannot find the Black anywhere.
Search the channel, Souffle de Parfum has been reviewed by me previously. E&J are keeping the black, white, rose and bourbon as far as I know. black is by far their best scent :) it's available on Sephora.
Yes please do a Guerlain video! They are my favorite house for the older releases but the new releases and the sea of flankers miss the mark for me too.
I am stuck just staring at your hair lol.....love it! But, I have thick fluffy dry hair😭😭😭
I totally agree with guerlain... I love this brand, but it seems that they want to jump in the main wave... but soufflé suits me and I think that ok it’s a little odd citrus vanilla but I love it 🤓
Great declutter! Watching you do yours helped encourage me to do my own so thank you! 🥰 If you are a fan of Angel EDP but it’s a bit too heavy for you, I highly recommend Angel EDT. It’s a much lighter, fresher version but still maintains that unique original Angel DNA. 💕Thank you for sharing and I hope you have a great weekend!
Thank you very much for your kind post. You really hit the Bullseye here because I actually quite like the EDT and very much prefer it over the EDP on my skin. I do need to get my hands on a bottle of it
@@BeautyNotes 💕
Angel body lotion is the best although i also can't stand the angel perfume on me cause us too heavy for my taste. I purchase the body lotion again and again and i can't get enough of it.
Yes to the Guerlain video!
That Meterorites fragrance is such a disappointment. I sprayed it on in a department store - and ugh! Terrible, cheap smelling stuff that is not even remotely like the Meterorites powder. Such a shame.
agreed :((
I want that Shalimar soufle lumiere...Where did you get it?
sephora
I hope you will put up a link for where you’re selling them on
I saw a video of yours where you said Shalimar Souffle was the best perfume to ever grace your collection & that you were on your second bottle. Did your first bottle not turn metallic on you?
Difficult to remember as it was YEARS ago. I think it did have the aftertaste I was referring to even then for me, but I did not mind it much at the time. I think I was still enamoured with Guerlain in general and Shalimar in particular and thought I just needed to acclimatize to the harshness. But as I wore it longer I realized that I really did dislike the aftertaste, and so I decluttered by almost-full bottle. I tried to make it work for a year and a bit after I re-bought it but we just couldn't get along.
BeautyNotes I came here to ask the same question as above! Have you tried Shalimar Cologne? Fragrantica reviews mention it’s a bit “old fashioned” like Shalimar EDT yet it has the same coldness and lemon meringue vibe as SDP. I like SDP I’m using a decant currently but not sure if I should pick up a bottle of it or Cologne.
Sorry for missing your question, I completely forgot to respond and then never went back to this. My first bottle was a small size (but not a sample size!) I got at a beauty event I attended, and I could swear it was different! It is also possible my sense of scent has changed after my pregnancy. But I found Souffle utterly unwearable this time around. I tried my darnedest to give it a chance, but it did not sit right on me anymore. My review was largely based on my feeling about the previous bottle, as you can see this one is basically full (a re-purchase). That's the tea :)
@@aquababy5 , I own the EDC and EDP both. My absolute preference is EDP (well, it is actually parfum initial if we are being completely fair here) but I agree that the classic EDP and EDC are basically sisters. If you want a lighter less dense approach, and you enjoy the parfum, you will likely be fond of the cologne.
Yay a perfume video! I can’t stand Shalimar Soufflé either, but I really love Soufflé Intense. I feel like Guerlain perfected the formula with that one, similar to how they improved on La Petite Robe Noir with Black Perfecto. They just release too much, stuff that in years gone by would never have seen the light of day rather than taking the time to do one good release.
I haven't tried Intense as Souffle and the Lumiere versions were both absolute busts
BeautyNotes You might be pleasantly surprised if you get a chance to test Soufflé Intense but yes it’s not a safe blind buy if you don’t like the other two.
Great video! I have the very same experience with Angel...just can't. Watching your channel over the past couple of years, it's clear we share similar taste in perfume. Really enjoy your passion and clear, emotional descriptions.
How much are you selling the Tom Ford velvet orchid and the fort tofino and the Elisabeth and James?
I wish I knew what they smelled like I got like 10 perfumes I’m sad
Very interested on the Guerlain's last 5 year video... please do it!! 😁
Will do. I really want to chat about it :)
BeautyNotes thanks for the response! I'm kinda sad about Guerlain too.. Too many crappy, redundant flankers, they're leaving the best for their super-expensive line wich i can't afford haha.. my current line up it's Jicky - EDC Imperiale, Shalimar EDC and Shalimar Parfum Initial..
@@isaacvillalba7250 you have listed some of my absolute "musts". Jicky is something I have not yet grown to love though :)
@@BeautyNotes Oh really!! Well, to me, Jicky feels kinda harsh on my skin..i mix it with a few dabs of my 1989 batch EDC Imperiale and its perfect!! (actually, Guerlain recommends EDC Imperiale for layering)..
I am very lucky to live close to the Toronto Guerlain Boutique. Recently I picked up a bottle of Chamade pour Homme and L'Heure Bleu. I haven't bothered with any of the designer releases for the reasons you pointed out in your video. Guerlain is my number 1 frag house, Chanel is a close second. There's a fragrance reviewer called U Smells Good in youtube who has the most extensive Guerlain reviews by far, and he's expressed his disappointment in the house lately too. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Hello, where do you sell your perfumes?
Just on my local Facebook market page. Mailing them is a lot of work :)
Is the Shalimar Souffle de Parfum the same one you featured in your "Guerlain Winter 2016 Collection" video? The bottles are so similar for this line that I find myself confused! In that other video, you mentioned the lemony dessert vibes and that it's already your 2nd bottle. And in this one, the blue bottle you said is cold and you struggled wearing it. I'm blind buying and just wanna make sure I get the right one!
Yes, they are in fact pretty different. I had two bottles of the original perfume, and also two bottles of Initial. I did Change my mind on the soufflé version, it was very pretty but didn’t sit right on me. I had a deluxe sample bottle and a full size of that. The newest release in that lineup is very underwhelming
@@BeautyNotes thank you so much this is so helpful! Was deciding whether I wanted to get the souffle or souffle intense.
I'm not sure how you feel about Meteorites? Ha ha ha Please keep the videos coming....a Guerlain video would be awesome! 😎
I had that metallic vibe to not comfirting or fluffy.......sad. I got rid of black perfect florale liked it and then never used it gave it away.
Yes yes. NEED PERFUME VIDEO'S FROM YOU THE MAKE UP SORRY NOT FOR ME.
Give us the link to buy your perfumes
I have the exact same feelings/frustrations about Guerlain and would love to see you make a video of how far the mighty have fallen.
I feel the same way about Angel 😏
Yes the black Clinique is so nice. In the Coco noir style.
It is masterfully constructed!
In the Guerlain series I have the Terracotta (bottle is the same as Meteorites) I bought it in the beginning of winter, I haven't worn it yet I am waiting for warmer temperatures, can't wait!
I used up mine about 2-3 years ago. Did not repurchase :(
I love terracotta! perfect sophisticated holiday scent
Hello ! First I love your perfume reviews. I would like to know, if you are going to sell these perfumes is there a possibility to purchase them? I think you're in Canada? I am also so this could be interesting. Thanks! 😊
I'm open to the idea, depending on whether the shipping prices make sense and if we can figure out a fair payment method :) I normally just sell things on my local facebook group.
Ok I am not too far from Montreal, is there a way to reach your Facebook to chat ? There is one perfume I am very interested in 😊
@@BeautyNotes for shipping fees and payment we can discuss this. Maybe you can find me on fb to discuss on messenger
@@BeautyNotes How can I contact you in private ?
Can you do the 10 for life or one for each occasion.
I can't do 10. That is just impossible. I use 10 different ones in one week depending on my mood lol. I do have some lists coming down the pipe (sexiest, perfumes to sleep in, spring-time picks, etc).
Where are you selling?
I'll try on my local facebook group :)
