I really love seeing you both! Mr. Scented has really come a long way in his descriptions Yana!Wulong Cha sounds perfect for me and I’m adding it to my sample list. This was fun!❤
Hi Yana and Mr. Scented. I so enjoy when you do a video together. I have the Oakcha version of Baccarat Rouge 540. It's somewhat a dupe, but not nearly as nice. I love the scent of Oud. The perfume bottle is gorgeous. The Black Dragon sounds really nice. Love the dragon. My grandson would love it. Gaultier 2 is another one that's up my alley. I definitely need to check it out. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful weekend!❤❤
Hi Yana, amazing videos, and you always speak the truth. I have very similar choices as yours, hence this request. Please do your top 20 niche and top 20 designer perfumes.
Thank you for doing another vid with Mr Scented. Best fragrance couple. Just wanted to comment so you do more together if possible. Love to get a man's perspective on fragrances as well as yours. Gonna look into that $20 bottle. Would you ever get the Middle eastern perfumes that seem to be getting some hype?
Thank you! I definitely could 🥰 just let me know the ones you're most interested in and I'll do my best to track them down. I don't know which ones are hyped because I rarely watch fragrance RUclips myself
I love how you don't gatekeep little unicorn perfumes. I find so that many influencers tend to have the mentality of giving the crowd only what they can get again and again easily. I understand it but for me for example I love perfume so much that that's not enough
I'm so glad someone talked about that weird, intense smell that some perfumes have. I remember buying a bunch of samples from Twisted Lily and one of the Xeroff perfumes had that. I couldn't even try it because I felt like my throat would close up and remember being so mad because it was an expensive sample 😂. I couldn't believe that they put that inside a scent. I'm pretty sure that this is the smell you speak of because after that I have since smelled more perfumes like that and each time I'm blown away that anyone would react positively. But then again I have a K9 sense of smell 🤔....always appreciate your videos! ❤ love from Washington state.
Yesss so many Xerjoffs have this in chemical. Unfortunately we notice it in virtually all Navitus fragrances as well, but mostly in the base 😩 I wish they would ban it because I feel like so many of those fragrances have potential but that scatchiness is just violent
The money I’ve spent on expensive samples is insane, only to dislike so many of them. Guess it’s better than blind buying a very pricey perfume. I believe that’s the note in Erba Pura that makes me want to gag, yet so many people love that one!🤷♀️
@@jillhiggins3246 right!? Same!! Every time I count the money I spent I realize I could have bought one solid bottle of a good perfume. 🤦🏻♀️I love and own Ormande Jayne Levant and have smelled a lot of the Madison Francis Kurkdjian perfumes that I like. That's as far as I've ventured so far.
Some real gems! Excellent review!Saw at least 2 scents that I’ve got to try!! Love Bernie! My nephew has a half Bernese Mountain/half Siberian Husky named Atlas.
I do experience the same with Erba Pura and Co. I cannot detect anything else than this synthetic punch. I think those chemicals are called Norlimbanol or Ambrocenide.
I’m not sure if this is what you’re referring too, but I also feel sensitive to some of the notes you’re talking about. It’s very screechy in montale “velvet fantasy” for me which is very similar to erba pura but it’s more screechy in the montale one. I thought it was just the musk though cause I get it in other perfumes with musk. Like Rihanna’s fenty. At first I felt that was about delina exclusif but I’ve come to love it. I know that nowadays it’s there’s like a million types of musk so I figured there was no way to know 😅. But I also get the same issue from “ambergris” and “iso e super” “catalox” - these always smell salty sharp to me and more like that musk rather than amber. These notes are Not a Perfume by Juliette has a gun and Another 13 by Le Labo. I also don’t like the ambergris in For Your Love by Mizensir for this reason.. it just smells dusty to my nose idk.
I'm familiar Ethyl Maltol but I don't think it is the one I'm referring to. I dont smell it in br540 It's also definitely not Ambroxan. I know the pure Ambroxan scent well and have several Ambroxan heavy fragrances that don't bother me in that way. The sharp scent I'm picking up is very noticeable in many Xerjoffs as well as Navitus, unfortunately
Love your videos. Fun hall definitely some stuff I've never heard of. I don't know that I would want to smell like a Creamsicle lol but some of the other ones sounded nice like the last one you mentioned, and the rose patchouly Dior one
just stumbled over your account a few weeks ago and been binge watching. and what do you know you dug up some jpg squared? i think that’s what it was called back 15+ years ago. i forgot about it and now remembered i loved it and the fact you can put it on your fridge with the magnets 🤣 also found out they have brought it back in 2022!!!! so had to get it and see if i still love it 😊
Ambre Nuit FTW! 🧡 But yeah, you know my disdain for woody ambers. Amber Xtreme, Amberwood, Ambermax, Timberol and to a lesser degree cetalox, ambrox and ambrocenide. Basically volatile, synthetic musks, most of which smell like riffs on rubbing alcohol. Nez magazine actually did a wonderful article on them last year (finally). Big fan of Wulong Cha though. Took me a while to get a sample, but it's a winner! Yet to try the X version. Props on tracking down Gaultier² too.😉
@@TheScented I use the Perfumer's Apprentice. Should be under "Aroma and Flavour Molecules". They have one on there called Ambercore that I've yet to try, but I heard it's not as powerful.
Oh my gosh, when you talked about the chemical in Erba Pura I related so much. If you know, you know. That has to be one of the most off putting perfumes I have ever smelled and it won’t go away. I sprayed a sample in my bathroom once and 24 hours later the bathroom still absolutely reeked of it. I had to drench the blotter in water before putting it in the trash. So awful to my nose. Always nice to see Mr. Scented! You two are lovely together.
"A good rock" ha! Enjoyed you both alot. I must say I received a Byron from an enthusiast(perfume) as a gift. Not good..... heavy heavy leather and heavy boozy. Sounds good. Nope!!!!!I t all blended together and could not tell one note from the other. Bug spray is. Black Dragons name is appealing. I love Dragons. Have in jewelry and around the house.I may try Tomango. What's to lose?I adore Amber. May look into that JPG. IS it heavy amber or more vanilla? I love a good tea scent as well. Many likes we share as I remember. I love you guys together doing scents! He is really into it like the male perfumers. Much love. Pattie
A lot of the Byron fragrances are super intense and heavy. Not my style tbh but I do adore Green Butterfly and Black Dragon. Mula Mula though was a hard no unfortunately The JPG is more amber dominant, the vanilla is soft and subtle
You are the first influencer I hear to talk about having similar problem with the screechy erba pura type synthetic musk notes in perfumes. I bought Chocolate queen and amrosia imperiale from navitus and they had that DNA I hardly felt anything else no banana nothing , had to sell them
I find it in sooo many brands unfortunately (including virtually all Navitus, many Xerjoffs and Mancera) some cheapies have it too. I never smelled it in older formulations of fragrances and feel like it's a newer thing. I wish it would be banned because it's so hard on the nose 😩
Have you done a video on the finery fragrances from target that are supposed to be dupes? If not I’d love to see your reaction to them and which high end fragrances you think they are similar to. I’d love to see you include the body mists
Big YES to Hima Joma 'Winter' for me as well! Also loved their 'Spring'-- really well crafted airy green scent. Very chic brand. And I could not agree with you more about the whole 'woody-amber' genre of molecules. Their overuse is obnoxious and LAZY, in my opinion.
This answered my question about Wulong Cha! Haha! I’m glad you love it! I just clicked BUY! 😂❤️👍. You might also love Nishane Ambra Calabria! I have that one and been wearing it a ton this summer! It’s a summer amber! Gorgeous!
This chemical is I think is this metallic type of musk, that runs through a lot of perfumes from brands like Xerjoff, T. Terrenzi, Montale, Mancera and it is very annoying to my nose. When I see in the reviews or this reminds of in the fragrantica section any reference to these perfumes, I would nver dare to blind buy such a perfume 😂

Thank you! We love Black Dragon but it's definitely one for the cooler weather
@@TheScented I was thinking the exact thing. Colder weather will be here before you know it, unfortunately! 🥶
Hi all good morning happy Sunday morning and I loved your vlogs and you all amazing Supporter
I absolutely love when u make videos with Mr Scented loves how he has grown in his taste and description of notes… great video Yana♥️

I love when Mr Scented joins you! The balance of your two takes on everything is fun :)
Ambre Nuit is also on my wishlist; it’s fantastic! SO jealous of the Gaultier find!

@@katush80Levant was one of the samples I truly loved! I’ve been thinking about getting a full bottle. Hoping to catch a good deal on fragrance buy.
Always a pleasure to see Bernie, he has a good nose!

I love Bernie ❤
I do experience the same with Erba Pura and Co. I cannot detect anything else than this synthetic punch. I think those chemicals are called Norlimbanol or Ambrocenide.
Just found a layering combo to die for: Wulong cha with Lira!
Thank you, I'll have to try it!
I got a decant of Green Butterfly and blew my mind! I would be interested to see what scents Mr. scented likes that you dislike. Great video! 😊
I love your honest opinions. Thank you for that, I really enjoy your videos, they are both great ❤
This was a cool video and I couldn't believe it - Seeing your fur babies..We own two Russian Blues and we have a ShiTzu named Bernie!!! Wild...❤
Coincidence! 😆
We have one more dog (a Samoyed) but he's camera shy

The sweet cotton candy (BR540) note is Ethyl Maltol. I put it in my recent video.
The synthetic that gives longevity is Ambroxen or Ambromax.
I'm familiar Ethyl Maltol but I don't think it is the one I'm referring to. I dont smell it in br540
It's also definitely not Ambroxan. I know the pure Ambroxan scent well and have several Ambroxan heavy fragrances that don't bother me in that way.

So much fun to see Mr. Scented on with you!
i loooooove erba pura
Yana, you must give Erba Pura Magica a try.
Thank you for showing Bernie. Your guy should try the MMK amber bomb Grand Soir.
Take care!
Grand soir is gorgeous 🥰 I keep meaning to do a full MFK review
Still hesitant about Erba Pura Magica 🙈😆

I like this new format! Two opinions for the price of one.

Great video! Bernie is gorgeous! ❤️
Love seeing your man involved.
ESO E super?? Ambroxin? Smells like wood shavings, I don’t like sonic flower and you have it
This was a fun video and I totally agree with the va va voom fragrance. I understand that Oatcha is a dupe house but that combo is played out.
Hareem Al sultan perfume review please
Do an amber fragrances video!! It’s been my vibe lately.
Your cat is so cute 😍
Have you done a video on the finery fragrances from target that are supposed to be dupes? If not I’d love to see your reaction to them and which high end fragrances you think they are similar to. I’d love to see you include the body mists
Love your videos! Creed wind flowers is beautiful- but the price tag 😢. Is there a dupe available for the same ? Thanks ❤
Thank you! ❤️ Not really a dupe, but Lancome Hyponse gives a similar effect to my nose
@@TheScented Thats great to know - will try it. Can you do a fall/ winter fragrance for women video ? Thanks for your reply!
Absolutely 🥰 it's coming soon
Great video 😊

Apparently you guys did zero RUclips research before you hit Las Vegas! That had me laughing!
😆🙈
Bernie ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This answered my question about Wulong Cha! Haha! I’m glad you love it! I just clicked BUY! 😂❤️👍. You might also love Nishane Ambra Calabria! I have that one and been wearing it a ton this summer! It’s a summer amber! Gorgeous!
I only have a sample of it but it's beautiful! I haven't smelled it in a while tbh so I'll need to revisit it asap
@@TheScented if you can, please review the X line of Nishane! Fragrancebuy has a deal on Wulong Cha X at the moment! 🥵
It may be orcanox...
BEAUTIFUL DOG.
I am the same with Ramon Monegal it's a hard pass for me
Gaultier 2 is a masterpiece. Best kept secret
This chemical is I think is this metallic type of musk, that runs through a lot of perfumes from brands like Xerjoff, T. Terrenzi, Montale, Mancera and it is very annoying to my nose. When I see in the reviews or this reminds of in the fragrantica section any reference to these perfumes, I would nver dare to blind buy such a perfume 😂
who's the caaaaat!!!!!
Peppi!
@@TheScented Nice! That was the name of a BBC dancer
🌹
I am the same with Erba Pura and Spiritual, can’t stand that smell
Following on the chemical name
My husband can pick it up right away and rejects everything that has it
First 🥇🏆❤
I hate THAT chemical "gazoline" lol smell, can't stand !!!! Don't know the name of it, but it is horrible !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
