      I agree with you! I feel like it’s a maturity/ego thing. People are going to have different preferences and opinions, and that’s totally okay. Accept it and move on. Just because I like carrot cake doesn’t mean everybody else has to too. And I’m not gonna force them to eat carrot cake if they don’t like it. It sucks that fragrance youtubers get hate over having an opinion.

    Angel's Share is one of my favorites, because it smells like the filling of an apple pie and totally embodies fall/winter for me. It is intense and I remember wearing it to a Halloween party and being a little overwhelmed by it. For me, it's a strictly "cold weather" fragrance, which means 3 days of the year living in Florida 😂

I was influenced by TikTok to order a sample and as soon as I sprayed it on my skin my nose was overwhelmed in the worst way. All I get from it is an intense screechy dryer sheet smell.

    Fresh cream warm cashmere is one of my faves... smells like a softer more cookie like Bianco Latte on my skin.. total fave. I love the start of Devotion, I almost purchased it, but the dry down does not work on my skin at all. I loved the first 30 min, but then needed to wash it off. I tried Angel Share and loved it. I have a rule that I test 3 times before purchasing. Two more tries to go, lol. I really dislike flower bomb on me. All I could smell was sweet powder. I didn't like Fresh cream, I don't remember why? Funny how on skin, the scents change. Great vid as usual :)

I'd like to know about the quality from department store to higher priced.

I also have the coffee version (Qahwa). But I ended up liking the og version better. I’ll be gifting to my sis because she likes coffee note scents. I think for the price point you can try it out. I got around $30. The Qahwa was around $50 I think because it was really popular at that moment. So definitely shop around.

    I agree with almost all of them, except for Angels’ Share.
    Angels’ Share is one of the best scents of all time for me. So intoxicating! I have khamrah as well, and I love that one too. It’s only about 85% similar. No booze and heavy on the dates.
    Definitely dislike Very Good Girl! I couldn’t wait to wash it off. I like Fresh Cream the first time I smelled it in Ulta, but the last couple times it smelled like spoiled milk. 😬
    Never understood the hype for LVEB, not a fan at all. Hubby dislikes that one too.
    I really wanted to like Devotion. I can only handle one spray. If I do more than one I will feel nauseous. There’s something in it that turns my stomach.
    Flowerbomb is not bad, but it’s just basic to me.

    I HATE Angels' Share. Hate, hate, hate. I don't even know why, because I adore the scent of cinnamon and apple pie, but as a perfume, it just annoys me the longer it stays on my skin. I really just never liked Angels' Share, and I've tried it over ten times now, but still dislike it. That being said, I LOVE Khamrah! It really is so much better. Yes they're similar fragrances, but they're not at all clones of one another, and I'd take Khamrah all day every day over Angels' Share. That's just my opinion and I know Angels' Share is loved by many. I just can't seem to get on board with it no matter how much I try to.

      What is the name of the Arabian dupe?

    • @cocoline5692
      @cocoline5692 21 день назад +1

      It's Mystique Bouquet by Afnan! Pretty much the same, but I think it's not too sharp and strong on the nose as Valaya is. 😊💐

      I just bought Narciso Rodriguez Pure Musk because I tried a sample and was pleasantly surprised! I am not a fan of musk, it has to be carefully blended and this one is fresh w/out that soap -musk smell

    I agree with you on most of them except for Very good girl! That one is one of my favorites ever 😍 but totally can see how it can be too lychee forward

    If you ever happen to find A Girl In Capri by Lanvin, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. It's a soft citrus with a hint of summer warmth that I find absolutely delicious.

    As a dupe of angel share I have kismet magic it’s an arab perfume. I don’t know if it’s an exact dupe because I’ve never smelled the OG. But people are saying it’s the closest dupe. I was scared that to be too masculine but to my nose it’s not I really like it

      @lucibellasandverse 20 дней назад

      That one is on my wishlist. I have Angels’ Share, but I want a good dupe so I don’t go through AS too quickly. So many people said Kismet Angel / Kismet Magic is the closest dupe. I can’t wait to smell it! I’m intrigued by the added chocolate note.

    • @natalieh7037
      @natalieh7037 6 дней назад

      I have Kismet and Khamrah. I love them both. They are similar, but not exact dupes. Khamrah is more feminine and Kismet is more unisex. I have an AS sample as well. I won't be buying a full bottle when there are Khamrah and Kismet available for a fraction of the cost.

    Mystique Bouquet by Afnan is a Valaya dupe, but it’s the much smoother version. Such a wonderful clean perfume ❤❤❤

  • @mitravinda7
    @mitravinda7 20 дней назад +1

    Earlier in some other video i also had recommended that you should buy Khamrah. I have 2 bottles already, me and mom are both obsessed over Khamrah. We never used to wear middle eastern or such kinda fragrances before buying Khamrah. But lemme tell you! Its fantastic! I love love your taste in perfumes so you should know that Khamrah smells like a christmas cake freshly baked out of oven! If you like cinnamon, vanilla, cloves raisins and the typical christmas cake smell.. go for it. And its a sweet perfume, the dates note and vanillic dry down is no joke. Its amazing for that price! But if you want a less sweetened and coffee added version try Khamrah Qahwa. I dont have Qahwa coz i love Khamrah even though its very sweet.. I'm told that I'd move on to Qahwa instead of OG if i purchased it as well.. so I'm staying with Khamrah itself.. I'd be really excited to know your reactions on both.. Also I must tell you, pls buy Ameer Al Oud intense.. some say it is masculine but omg it is perfectly unisex and its one amazing creation by Lataffa! I can't get over it.. It is supposedly duping By the fireplace but it's fantastic by itself.. It's super sexy, cozy, incredibly attractive layering scent as well.

    Litchi is a note I also struggle with. Not a fan of tart fragrances at all.
    Also, if you didn't like Lira and you haven't tried it, I recommend trying Dama Bianca. I feel a gourmand lover would appreciate it. It's not my preferred profile, but the performance and quality is very good.

  • @sandisteko9067
    @sandisteko9067 18 дней назад +1

    You can try khamrah. Bit it is nothing like Angels share.Maybe the same direction but that is it.
    My favorite is khamrah Qahwa

    I had the same experience with Angels’ Share for the first time.. I think I tried it in a wrong time then (end of summer).
    But I had my sample and revisited it in winter. And OMG! 🤩 noses are changing during a year (I work in a perfumery and I see it even on customers). Many times it realy depands also on a body chemistry! But my nose completely turned over😀 I’m addicted to Angels’ Share now!
    Similar experiences with Flowerbomb (I don’t like LVEB) and CH Very good girl🙂

  • @evaphillips2102

    If Devotion weren’t nostalgic for me I’d probably think it was forgettable. I used to wear a cheapie Delicious Cotton Candy by Gayle Hayman BH and Devotion smells exactly the same, it is like a grown up version of a scent that’s tied to so many childhood memories. That’s the only reason I love it.

You live in a very warm state, I live in NY and really love this one at Christmas time, BUT if I were to spray it when it's warm out...hell no it would stroke me out

    @paolamejia2088 19 дней назад

    I ididnt like very good girl either when i got it as a gift so i did some researh to see if others felt the same.. someone on youtube said to let it sit and the vanilla will get stonger, mine has sat for 18 months since I got it. So I shake it up before I spray and it smells great now the vanilla has balanced out the letchi and is way more sweet and very close to delina exclusive.

  • @mayragonzalez3510
    @mayragonzalez3510 20 дней назад

    I didn’t like devotion at first sniff. I tried it a few days and the dry down is where it’s at for me. Also it seemed super strong but it’s not. I get wiffs of it throughout the day and I love it. And layering it with iced lemon pound cake. I want to try Lira now too cause I’ll probably like it. I also liked angel share but it’s not something that I’d get full bottle of. I like or love a lot of your recommendations but not all. I didn’t like Miami Glow 😅. I do use it for summer. But I won’t repurchase.

    😂 it's actually funny how I I'm the exact opposite because I love Narciso Rodriguez for her edp but can't stand the fleur musc version. That means they did good making a flanker for a different market that's not a repeat.

  • @newsystem420
    @newsystem420 21 день назад

    I'm glad you mentioned Devotion; I liked it at first but towards the end of my bottle it turned 'straight citrus' (no vanilla) and it turned me off to it. There are better vanilla purfumes out there.

    Ksenja can you make a video of perfumes with rose notes that you like ? I love rose but is so hard to find a beautiful creamy soft beautiful rose fragrance. And preferably not to expensive 😅
    The only one i have that i love is issey miyake rose and rose.

    Flowerbomb was my signature scent ~20 years ago. I wanted to like Devotion and Valaya, but after multiple samples, I just don’t. I blind bought Lovely because it’s so inexpensive but I get cigarette smoke from it.

  • @jenni3742

I have tried it several times last time was last week. It was wayyyyy to strong, It smells really mature to me

    Agree with almost all of these - I really want to like fresh cream and I’m convinced I’ll force myself to. Shocked you don’t like warm cashmere. It’s perfect to me. Better than Bianco latte imo. I wish it was as beast mode and I’d be in heaven.

    @heavenjb 21 день назад

    I got the Khamrah even tho I actually liked angels share I didn’t like the alcohol note. So Khamrah is just cinnamon and dates it’s sexy. Truly unisex to me! You’re late getting yours! Ha BUT, i definitely had to macerate it for a month!! If you buy it? Maybe but a pre loved one that’s been macerating or buy it now to macerate until fall! Mine was not a love at first sniff! It needed a month

    Lemon 🍋 is a hard one! I haven’t smelled devotion yet, but I hear a lot of people say cleaners when it comes to lemon, but I’ve never had that problem? I usually get zesty with lemon but I tend to prefer my lemon non gourmand! I like lemon and mint maybe some magnolia more fresh types of lemon scents

    Burberry Her EDT and Valaya both smell the same on me as one another, so whatever it is in them that is similar, that might be what makes them smell bad on you (btw, they smell awesome on me 😂). Also, Afnan Mystique Bouquet is your dupe guys if you want Valaya on the cheap. It’s not exactly the same but 99% there. It’s outstanding and I wear it everyday as a freshy ❤

    Yeah I don’t like Burberry her edt in cooler weather it works in heat. When it dried down and in the heat it got sweeter. I don’t love it to get a full bottle but I got it in a travel spray. I sprayed on at ulta after a hot day and when your skins super warm after a hot day. That is when to spray it.
