Oh Jackie, thank you SO MUCH for the incredibly kind words 🙏🏼☀️ I started the website to facilitate “try before you buy” on hard to find fragrances, and at a reasonable price. So many decant sites are so expensive, people opt for blind buying anyway. Also to make more affordable access to hard to get perfume from EU. I’m so glad you were able to try these. HufflePuff (that vanilla coconut 🥰) and Unknown Pleasures are EVERYTHING!!!
Fascinated to hear your review on Ambrosia Imperiale - I got a bottle and I couldn't get rid of it fast enough! I found it screechy and sour, a real scrubber, a scent that wouldn't go away! But my friend loved it! Sometimes fragrances you don't like are more interesting than those you do! 🤣 But me and Navitus = not friends.
I love hearing everyone's impressions of different fragrances. Your EBK review - 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 is all I'll say. 😊 Glad UP was a win! It's really lovely and comforting.
I tested Kajal's Dahab expecting a fruity perfume. I was annoyed that no reviewer told that it actually has a strong middle eastern / oriental vibe. It's oriental first and spicy fruity second...Reviewers should describe the "vibe" and overall feel of perfumes instead of notes imo.
Good morning Jackie. Your description of Ambrosia Imperiale is spot on. I didn’t like it at first but something happened and I ended up falling in love with it. I definitely want to check out the site where you purchased these decants.
I purchased several decants from Greta (The Sillage by GB) and everything was AMAZING! I received them so quickly and her selection is unbelievable! I love her and love her channel as well as yours❤. Great video!
Kajal Lamar is an amazing and unique scent I get so many compliments when I wear it people stop me in random places wanting to know what I’m fragrance I’m wearing. Out of my 400 plus collection it is one of my top 5. Give it a second chance you might change your mind.
I have Kind Intentions. I blind bought it. I was originally confused the first time I wore it. I gave it a second chance and fell instantly in love. ❤❤❤
I’ve been loving Ambrosia Imperiale 😉 so glad you like that one 👍🏼 I didn’t like Lamar either. The pineapple opening was so nice but dried down like an old man cologne 😂
I almost blind bought Ambrosia Imperiale too and I bought a decant. And am SO GLAD!!! Some people were hyping this up... and I just found it a little rough around the edges. It kind of reminds me of a Montale/Mancera fragrance IYKYK ... I like the fragrance! But it's not a love. I have a 10ml travel-size decant and I am good with that atm
Oh wow that’s definitely not my experience with AI at all, but it just goes to show that we all need to try before we buy. Fragrance is so subjective. Sorry it didn’t work out for you, but glad you got to test it first.
@@jaxbeautifulyou most definitely! I only tried it 1 time though so far. And sometimes by the 2nd, 3rd, 4th time I try something - my experience is completely different. Interesting how that happens! As long as I don't HATE something about a fragrance there is room for me to fall more in love. Ima need to pull it out again today and try it out.
@@charmedbymeghanI didn’t like it either. The only thing I like is the first initial spray and then I don’t know what it is. The dry down does not work on me at all. Reminds me of something from the 90’s. Thank God for decants.
@@Tutiwashername right! I find the fragrance to be a little strong for what it is. And I love a good beast-mode fragrance, so I guess it is this specific fragrance with some notes that are a little "rough" for me. I wish this particular fragrance was a little softer and well-rounded. I think I'd like it more
I also got deep and desire yacht from her store too and it is literally the best thing I’ve ever smelled. I’m in love! What surprised me, is that I didn’t like Chocolate queen. I will try it again in the winter though.
I love Ambrosia Imperial as well, Lamar is really good once it dries down, but smells better on my husband. He layers is with Hacivat and I can’t stop smelling him…incredible layering combo😮
Yes I just ordered several decants GB last week. I’m trying to stay away from blind buys as much as possible, so her site is an awesome resource! I also got AI and am looking forward to a full wear test!
You tested everything I hoped you would review. I fell in love with Ambrosia Imperial its my favorite purchase of 2023 too. It's so yummy yet sophisticated and all year around wear. We 95% love the same scents so I appreciate and trust your opinion on fragrance.
Unknown Pleasures is on my list for fall, too. It's wonderful. As for HoS Hufflepuff, I just got the sampler set and I am with you, this will be my first cupcake, too! Same as you, waiting for a sale. If you see one pop up please let us know! 💕
I’m big on testing before I buy! (Not that I don’t occasionally blind buy) lol 😅 I really want Hufflepuff because 1) That’s my house! And 2) The note profile sounds so very ME! I’m sure I’d love it 😊 For us Canadians there are lots of places to buy samples, but as far as RUclipsrs with decant websites, we have Yana from The Scented! 🥰 So glad to hear your thoughts on these especially D&D Yacht.. now I don’t feel like I’m missing out anymore! 😂🙏🏼
Hello, Kerosene is such a underrated house. I love a few from Kerosene with Unknown Pleasures being one of them. Ambrosia IMPERIALE is definitely that girl and will always be in my collection. AI is so unique and sexy…. I just love it.
Wow, you must be the only one on this planet who gets that feeling with DnDY. To me it's definitely sweet and a very delicious blueberry muffin. It is just perfection to me. So I think the conclusion here is, always (fully) test the fragrance on your skin, because everybody's body chemistry is different. Maybe you will like One Umbrella for Two.
I was interested in Ambrosia Imperiale from AI the Great but when I saw the price, I just cannot afford that. I've been on the hunt for a nice banana perfume that is a bit more affordable, so that was disappointing. I had heard Kayali's next fragrance would be a banana one but then she came out with the wedding scents. So ...the hunt continues. Also, I have a perfume with an Earl Grey tea note and I LOVE it! It's a Middle Eastern perfume called I Am the Queen by Ana Al Malikah. Its gorgeous. It also has notes of cloves, bergamot, jasmine, orange blossom, oud, tonka, and guaiac wood. So yummy!
On beauty RUclips, I would see people receiving cupcakes in PR, but never mentioned them again! For the most part, nobody ever even sprayed the fragrance! I just thought House of Sillage wasn’t really good…..all packaging, but no actual substance😯 Happy to hear that’s not the case…… My granddaughter and I read each of the Harry Potter books at the same time and would talk about them before starting the next one. Such a great memory…. So nice to hear your thoughts….. Happy Sunday….
Wow! Queen Jackie is making the the heads roll today! Seriously, I agree with you on mostly all of these, though I found Ambrosia Empirial to be a very light fragrance also. Still got to test it more to make up my mind on if it's full bottle worthy
Oh wow AI has fantastic performance on me. Especially now that I have the FB. But performance is subjective. Everyone’s experience is different. I know I may have ruffled some feathers with some of these… lol 😆
I am absolutely 💯 super picky and also one that doesn't blind buy. I buy tons of small decants, then if i like it I buy a bigger decant. 😂 Every full bottle I buy, I regret! Maybe too picky? Its hard to find something that isn't too sweet or headache-inducing.
The best banana fragrance I own is Celine Ellena for L'Artisan Parfumeur: 'Bana Banana'. I'm stunned by how wearable it is. Creamy, mature, elegant with a great top run of unripe banana/plantain churning through in a similar way to how a green fig note is used but diffused in a totally different way. Too bad it doesn't last longer-- I also think she could have cranked up the volume a bit with it too. Either way, it's really a knockout when it comes to high end chic fruity fragrances as there are so few GOOD banana fragrances to compare it to. I'm disappointed that they discontinued it and will use my bottle sparingly. Fruity fragrances are very rarely my thing, they have to really be something special to get me to purchase a full bottle. My favourite fruity fragrance is 'Une Nuit Magnetique' by Christine Nagel for The Different Company. A masterpiece. The only two fig fragrances I've had full bottles of are 'Oscent Rouge' by Alexandre J and the very similar 'Gris Charnel' by BDK. Most fig fragrances are just way too green for me, reminding me of the green cut flower stems in a florists (it's also why I dislike anything bitter like pettigrain...any earthy vegetal notes or things that smell of wet snapped fresh twigs, or like strong vetiver, patchouli and most citruses). Plus with fig if they go too sweet in the composition is nauseating, smells cheap and far too reminiscent of the household cleaning and air freshener section of the supermarket. I love your channel and your make up was gorgeous in this upload. Perfect, such fun.
I got a decant of Kind Intentions and it reminds me of a fragrance I have a sample of from Miller Harris - their new Figue fragrance. It definitely shares something with that one. And I really enjoy both! Easy to wear when I don't want to smell too heavy of anything but still wear perfume (like I always do). I really like it. Both of these fragrances give off a walking through a Meadow vibe.
Thank you for this comment! Def gonna check out the Figue fragrance as it’s more accessible where I live, which means that i don’t have to pay an exorbitant amount for shipping 😂
Ambroisia Imperial is amazing. Davana and me don’t get along. But this fragrance is stunning! It’s a masterpiece and my favourite release of 2023! Enjoy it🎉
I have a bottle of the new Navitus that I can not stand so if you’d like to buy mine you can. At a deep discount because I do not have the box. I liked it at first but after I sprayed it on it stunk. It’s been sprayed once.
If you don’t like Lamar, you might like Dahab by Kajal, it’s a good summer perfume, it projects very well and last a long time. It’s my favorite from this house. I see you from Chile 😉
I love EBK DNDY. The Ruby N Vanilla… I dunno… that one didn’t smell how I expected. It smells nice, but I honestly had something else in mind. I think the red bottle and name Ruby had me imagining something else.
I am not a fan of EBK Deep N Desire Yacht and Ruby N Vanilla Intense, no matter how many times I revisit them. Hufflepuff is so so beautiful! And yes, get it when it’s on sale, I got mine last month. ♥️♥️♥️
Just got the EBK Deep N Desire in decant and hated it! I also just received my first cupcake - Minnie. I love her. Hufflepuff is on my purchase list too. Btw, your makeup - perfection!
Ebk has this weird undertone or dna in it that I hate . I was so glad I didn’t blind buy any of them. Ambrosia imperial is so amazing . Im actually mad I didn’t blind buy it during the preorder cause then I had to pay full price for it . Its amazing !!!
Omg I’m so glad you love UNKNOWN PLEASURES!!! It’s my favorite Gourmand of all time 🤍 Great review Jax. I THINK I want to try Huffel Puff but I have too many Lemon Gourmands. LEMON TART, LIRA, DULCES INFUNDO, BAKE, CREME by HOH…., too many 🤗
I love Ambrosia Imperiale. I've been wearing it every day. You look amazing, by the way.❤ Oh, you have to let Lamar sit for a min. I didn't like it at first, but I returned a month later, and it's amazing!!!HuffelPuff is amazing but its sold out right now. Hopefully, you can get it on sale when it restocks. I got mine for 50% around Memorial Day.
Yes! I’m trying so hard to sample more and blind buy less and just really know I love a perfume before purchasing. Not 💯 successful yet, but working on it!
I didn’t like Lamar at first either but on second/third tries it’s growing on me. Agree - slightly masculine, but I’m OK w/that. Yeah Unknown Pleasures is gorgeous. The Kerosene frags are great performers on me. Love sampling vids thx 👍🏻
Have you tried Dahab by Kajal? It’s sooo good. I can’t stop wearing it & gets so many compliments on it. Lamar gets me compliments too but, Dahab is fabulous
Love you sample videos! Ambrosia Imperiale was a blind buy for me during the initial launch and it’s been one of my fav purchases this year! I also sampled Hufflepuff and got a full bottle, it’s gorgeous 😍 glad to know you are a fellow Harry Potter Stan!!
@@jaxbeautifulyou haha love it!! I secretly wished the Hufflepuff scent was for the gryffindor fragrance, even thought it wouldn’t match. Just thankful it’s not Slytherin 😅😅😅 I don’t think I could’ve bought it lmao
Love hearing your candid thoughts. I really didn’t like Deep N Desire Yacht. I didn’t find the blueberry accord realistic at all. my experience was it smelt like blueberry jello mixed with flat lemonade that you were eating at a petrol station with all the gas/oil fumes in the air - yuck. I can’t do any of the Kerosene scents either. I amp up the caramel too much and it makes me feel nauseous. Follow and Follow me were also big no’s. But you can’t deny the performance. I preferred a semi-gourmand “OneMore “ by Francesca Dell’Oro which was a stunning lemon gourmandy scent :). I’m keen to try out theKind Intentions. Absolutely no idea on what it will smell like. But it’s on my sample list for the month :)
I was so waiting for you to review this! I couldn’t wait so, I blind brought it and it does not disappoint!! I too am skeptical with davana, but it’s blended well in this one!
It's funny I'm wearing deep n desire now trying to figure out if i like it or not. I think my issue is It's too literal whereas ambrosia imperiale still smells like a perfume.
Hey Jackie 🥰, Hufflepuff , love it , addictive ❣ After I blind bought DNDY I thought , this is the tangiest fragrance ever.... how did no one mention that part?? Blueberries aren't sweet, but a blueberry muffin is , so I expected a rich , sweet fragrance ..... Amborosia Imperial , I don't get what everyone else is getting yet , but maybe it needs some time for me ??
@@jaxbeautifulyou I sold Chocolate Queen almost immediately to my friend, it was bitter on my skin , that's what I got right away , my friend loves CQ and I asked her to spray it on my skin again recently and it was much nicer , so , agreed , sometimes they require some patience 🥰
I love and really appreciate these videos! Also completely agree when it comes to deep and desired yacht and lamar. I was expecting to love both but absolutely didn't 🙈
I was very curious about Lamar and like yourself I was going to blind buy it! I’m so glad I did not! I can’t handle tart sharp and masculine! I’ve been going back and forth should I shouldn’t I ?????? lol thanks for making helping me decide😂
Isn’t Hufflepuff from HoS a limited edition that was sold out quite a while ago? Or are they planning a relaunch? It’s listed as sold out on their website anyway… Anyone who knows if it is coming back?
I think you and I have very similar tastes. This is the 3rd video where I’ve agreed with you on pretty much everything lol! I can not stand Lamar! It’s, to me, the worse smelling hyped up fragrance of the year so far lo! So so masculine and I just don’t like it. Not even for hubby lol! Ambrosia I blind bought and it’s soooo good! I went back and forth between a sample of hufflepuff or cream chiffon and went with cream but hufflepuff sounds good. I too do not own any cupcakes so was glad to be able to get the sample from Greta. I should have my samples Monday. I love unknown pleasures! I have samples of kind intentions and deep and desire otw as well.
Absolutely agree with you about Kajal Almaz and Lamar !They sharp and something dirty in the background.The only one I really think worth to try it’s Dahab,very smooth and feminine perfume.
I havent gotten the first banana 🍌 one you mentioned i blind bought lamar kajal in the winter and ended up selling it. It smells middle eastern and masculine so ya not a good one. in didnt get paulinas fragrance but i dont like Navitus they have terrible customer service and they dont package carefully just a crap house to me. i havent smelled hufflepuff but Greta is sending me Minnie so cant wait to smell it. I also got Deep n Desire Yacht in the winter but i ended up selling it because it was too fruity. i also didnt like ruby n vanilla i need to smell it again 6 months later.
Oh Jackie, thank you SO MUCH for the incredibly kind words 🙏🏼☀️

You’re so welcome!! I’m super excited for you…. And for me, because now I can do a lot less blind buying! 😆

Lol good! I though maybe I was the only one. I need UP in my life! 💕
I tested Kajal's Dahab expecting a fruity perfume. I was annoyed that no reviewer told that it actually has a strong middle eastern / oriental vibe. It's oriental first and spicy fruity second...Reviewers should describe the "vibe" and overall feel of perfumes instead of notes imo.
Also only a couple of reviewers mentioned it is powdery as well. That is a no go for me.
Hey gorgeous 😍 looking beautiful in your daisys. Thank you for your kind words ❤ I'm so glad you and your hubby are lovingly Ambrosia Imperiale
It’s such a gorgeous fragrance! ❤️
I absolutely love Lamar. I get lots of compliments on it too.
You’re definitely not the only one. It’s a very well loved perfume.
Beautiful fragrance. Only 1 outa 10 don't iike it.. their best seller!
Your makeup 😍 let’s all take a minute ☀️☀️
Thank you 😊
Great video, it would be appreciated if more companies shipped to Canada as well.
Good morning Jackie. Your description of Ambrosia Imperiale is spot on. I didn’t like it at first but something happened and I ended up falling in love with it. I definitely want to check out the site where you purchased these decants.
Definitely check out Greta’s website! AI is soooo good. It’s addictive!
I purchased several decants from Greta (The Sillage by GB) and everything was AMAZING! I received them so quickly and her selection is unbelievable! I love her and love her channel as well as yours❤. Great video!
Thanks for sharing!! Yes the shipping time was excellent! ❤️
Thank you Ann!!😘🩷
I like Greta Beth she is cool people. I love your look today and your earrings.
Thank you 😊

Yes! Unknown Pleasures is DELICIOUS!!! I have cooler weather in PNW so I got to wear it recently 🥰
I love Kind intentions.
Hi Jax! Looking lovely 💛
Thank you 🤗
I have Kind Intentions. I blind bought it. I was originally confused the first time I wore it. I gave it a second chance and fell instantly in love. ❤❤❤
I’ve been loving Ambrosia Imperiale 😉 so glad you like that one 👍🏼 I didn’t like Lamar either. The pineapple opening was so nice but dried down like an old man cologne 😂
😂😂😂😂 yeah I was not down with that dry down at all.
I almost blind bought Ambrosia Imperiale too and I bought a decant. And am SO GLAD!!! Some people were hyping this up... and I just found it a little rough around the edges. It kind of reminds me of a Montale/Mancera fragrance IYKYK
... I like the fragrance! But it's not a love. I have a 10ml travel-size decant and I am good with that atm

I layer my lamar kajal with a pinapple lotion from bath n body works. It brings out the sweetness alot more.
Absolutely love Ambrosia Imperiale ❤
Me too! 💕
I also got deep and desire yacht from her store too and it is literally the best thing I’ve ever smelled. I’m in love! What surprised me, is that I didn’t like Chocolate queen. I will try it again in the winter though.
I was so excited to see an email that Harry Potter is on sale at HOS. Of course when I checked it's all the houses but Hufflepuff - bummer!
That yellow eyeshadow is beautiful. You wear it so well.
Thank you so much 🙂
I love Ambrosia Imperial as well, Lamar is really good once it dries down, but smells better on my husband. He layers is with Hacivat and I can’t stop smelling him…incredible layering combo😮
I did find Lamar to be masculine as well.
For me it was the opening I adored, but it had a musk I can't do. The dry down is all that musk.Made me so sad.
Hufflepuff was my first cupcake too! Hauts Bijoux is also really good!
Haha I knew you'd love Ambrosia Imperiale! Agree it is such a sophisticated gourmand. My dent is scary 😂
It’s sooooo good!
Unknown Pleasures has been a love for years now and I’m not growing tired of it. I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts on these fragrances! 💖💖
Thanks so much! I can’t believe it took me so long to get UP!
Yes I just ordered several decants GB last week. I’m trying to stay away from blind buys as much as possible, so her site is an awesome resource! I also got AI and am looking forward to a full wear test!
I know right! I was so excited when she announced it. Now I can get hard to find samples and decrease my blind buys! Hope you love AI! ❤️
Omgosh, look how cute you are in your flowers 😊
😊 thank you
I agree with everything you said about Ambrosia Imperiale. It’s my favorite in my collection. It’s going to be my SOTD!
It’s so delicious!

Hi gorgeous! I am so glad I didn’t blind buy Deep n Desire Yacht. There’s that chamomile note and that just ruins it for me. I also cannot 😅
Hard pass! 😆
I really appreciate your honest opinion, you are the best
How you feel about Lamar Kajal is how I feel about Hacivat the same exact feelings
Unknown Pleasures is on my list for fall, too. It's wonderful. As for HoS Hufflepuff, I just got the sampler set and I am with you, this will be my first cupcake, too! Same as you, waiting for a sale. If you see one pop up please let us know! 💕
Yes! For sure 💕
@@jaxbeautifulyou Hufflepuff is on sale today!
Love your approach to providing information. Deep and Desire Yacht was a miss for me. Too sour, and waaay over priced.
I’m big on testing before I buy! (Not that I don’t occasionally blind buy) lol 😅 I really want Hufflepuff because 1) That’s my house! And 2) The note profile sounds so very ME! I’m sure I’d love it 😊 For us Canadians there are lots of places to buy samples, but as far as RUclipsrs with decant websites, we have Yana from The Scented! 🥰 So glad to hear your thoughts on these especially D&D Yacht.. now I don’t feel like I’m missing out anymore! 😂🙏🏼
I am guilty of the occasional blind buy myself 😉 😆
I obtained a decant of Ambrosia Imperiale and it is lovely and full bottle worthy…..always enjoy your videos 😍😍😍
It’s so good! Thanks for watching!
Hello, Kerosene is such a underrated house. I love a few from Kerosene with Unknown Pleasures being one of them. Ambrosia IMPERIALE is definitely that girl and will always be in my collection. AI is so unique and sexy…. I just love it.
I definitely want to explore more from kerosene! AI is beautiful! ❤️
I am so excited you love Unknown Pleasures. I think it’s one of the best gourmands out there 😍
It's so good! I’m definitely getting a FB.
This video was very informative 😊 Thank you 😊Jax
You’re so welcome!
I have sampled several EBK fragrances, Ruby N Vanilla being one of them, and they have not impressed me enough to pay the hefty full bottle price ❤️
I still want to try others from the house, but I agree so far, I’m not impressed. 😞
I feel the same way about Kind Intentions. Not my usual scent profile but it is interesting. I like the drydown best.
I like it more and more each time I try it.
Your eyeshadow is everything 💛💛💛💛💛
Thank you 😊
Agree. My husband is a dentist and if you were his hygienist he’d have a zillion patients 😂
Omg haha 😂
Wow, you must be the only one on this planet who gets that feeling with DnDY. To me it's definitely sweet and a very delicious blueberry muffin. It is just perfection to me. So I think the conclusion here is, always (fully) test the fragrance on your skin, because everybody's body chemistry is different. Maybe you will like One Umbrella for Two.
Yes, it’s so important to test on skin. Skin chemistry is wild!
Whew😅 glad I didn’t BB Ruby Vanilla. Considered it many times lol
Yes definitely sample first!

Ambroisia Imperial is amazing. Davana and me don’t get along. But this fragrance is stunning! It’s a masterpiece and my favourite release of 2023! Enjoy it🎉
It's so good!
I have a bottle of the new Navitus that I can not stand so if you’d like to buy mine you can. At a deep discount because I do not have the box. I liked it at first but after I sprayed it on it stunk. It’s been sprayed once.
Watching Jax!!! Excited for this review 🙌🙌🙌
Yay! Thank you! ❤️
If you don’t like Lamar, you might like Dahab by Kajal, it’s a good summer perfume, it projects very well and last a long time. It’s my favorite from this house. I see you from Chile 😉

I am not a fan of EBK Deep N Desire Yacht and Ruby N Vanilla Intense, no matter how many times I revisit them. Hufflepuff is so so beautiful! And yes, get it when it’s on sale, I got mine last month. ♥️♥️♥️
I was shocked by deep n desire! Can’t wait to get Hufflepuff!
Completely agree about deep and desired yacht, I was so disappointed!! Super sour and off putting
Oh yay! Lol I’m so glad I’m not the only one. So many people seem to love it.
You guys are not alone! It truly surprised me to dislike it after hearing so many people rave about it!😡
Omg I just got my samples and hate deep and desire it’s so bad lol
Just got the EBK Deep N Desire in decant and hated it! I also just received my first cupcake - Minnie. I love her. Hufflepuff is on my purchase list too. Btw, your makeup - perfection!
Thank you 😊
Ebk has this weird undertone or dna in it that I hate . I was so glad I didn’t blind buy any of them. Ambrosia imperial is so amazing . Im actually mad I didn’t blind buy it during the preorder cause then I had to pay full price for it . Its amazing !!!
Ikr! Lol I ended up paying full price for AI but so worth it imo.
Happy birthday! 🎊🎂🎈
Thank you!!
Man I really thought you would love the deep n desire! Sad times haha however I want to say these are my favorite videos you do!
Thanks for watching! 💕
Hi! Love your videos! Thank you for some great analysis & information! 😀
Thank you 😊
Omg I’m so glad you love UNKNOWN PLEASURES!!! It’s my favorite Gourmand of all time 🤍 Great review Jax. I THINK I want to try Huffel Puff but I have too many Lemon Gourmands. LEMON TART, LIRA, DULCES INFUNDO, BAKE, CREME by HOH…., too many 🤗
But girl… Hufflepuff is so good 😆
I love Ambrosia Imperiale. I've been wearing it every day. You look amazing, by the way.❤ Oh, you have to let Lamar sit for a min. I didn't like it at first, but I returned a month later, and it's amazing!!!HuffelPuff is amazing but its sold out right now. Hopefully, you can get it on sale when it restocks. I got mine for 50% around Memorial Day.
Thank you! Yes, I will be getting Hufflepuff as soon as I see it on sale. ❤️
I'm also very picky about wich new perfumes I add to my colection. I have to love it to buy it 😉
Yes! I’m trying so hard to sample more and blind buy less and just really know I love a perfume before purchasing. Not 💯 successful yet, but working on it!
I didn’t like Lamar at first either but on second/third tries it’s growing on me. Agree - slightly masculine, but I’m OK w/that. Yeah Unknown Pleasures is gorgeous. The Kerosene frags are great performers on me. Love sampling vids thx 👍🏻
I definitely need to dive into the house of Kerosene! Thanks for watching. ❤️
Have you tried Dahab by Kajal? It’s sooo good. I can’t stop wearing it & gets so many compliments on it. Lamar gets me compliments too but, Dahab is fabulous
I need to check it out!
Love you sample videos! Ambrosia Imperiale was a blind buy for me during the initial launch and it’s been one of my fav purchases this year! I also sampled Hufflepuff and got a full bottle, it’s gorgeous 😍 glad to know you are a fellow Harry Potter Stan!!
Yes, I love Harry Potter. I’ve read all the books and watched the movies several times. My mom has Harry’s wand and the sorting hat… lol 😆 🤓
@@jaxbeautifulyou haha love it!! I secretly wished the Hufflepuff scent was for the gryffindor fragrance, even thought it wouldn’t match. Just thankful it’s not Slytherin 😅😅😅 I don’t think I could’ve bought it lmao
Love hearing your candid thoughts.
I really didn’t like Deep N Desire Yacht. I didn’t find the blueberry accord realistic at all. my experience was it smelt like blueberry jello mixed with flat lemonade that you were eating at a petrol station with all the gas/oil fumes in the air - yuck.
I can’t do any of the Kerosene scents either. I amp up the caramel too much and it makes me feel nauseous. Follow and Follow me were also big no’s. But you can’t deny the performance. I preferred a semi-gourmand “OneMore “ by Francesca Dell’Oro which was a stunning lemon gourmandy scent :).
I’m keen to try out theKind Intentions. Absolutely no idea on what it will smell like. But it’s on my sample list for the month :)
Omg your description of DNDY 😆
@@jaxbeautifulyou 🤣🤣🤣 ikr? How did a scent go so wrong (on me at least)?
I was so waiting for you to review this! I couldn’t wait so, I blind brought it and it does not disappoint!! I too am skeptical with davana, but it’s blended well in this one!
Yes! I was so scared if the davana note, but wow. It’s just so good. I’m in love. And I agree, the davana is blended well.
It's funny I'm wearing deep n desire now trying to figure out if i like it or not. I think my issue is It's too literal whereas ambrosia imperiale still smells like a perfume.
Yes, I love how wearable yet delicious AI is! It’s so good.
Hi, wondering if Hufflepuff smells anything like Kyse Doucer Brulé perfume?
Hey Jackie 🥰, Hufflepuff , love it , addictive ❣ After I blind bought DNDY I thought , this is the tangiest fragrance ever.... how did no one mention that part?? Blueberries aren't sweet, but a blueberry muffin is , so I expected a rich , sweet fragrance ..... Amborosia Imperial , I don't get what everyone else is getting yet , but maybe it needs some time for me ??
I did not expect a sour fragrance from DNDY either. Sometimes new formulas do need to settle a bit.
@@jaxbeautifulyou I sold Chocolate Queen almost immediately to my friend, it was bitter on my skin , that's what I got right away , my friend loves CQ and I asked her to spray it on my skin again recently and it was much nicer , so , agreed , sometimes they require some patience 🥰
I love and really appreciate these videos! Also completely agree when it comes to deep and desired yacht and lamar. I was expecting to love both but absolutely didn't 🙈
Thanks for watching. I expected to love both too! So glad I tried them first!
Welcome15 gives you 15% off of Ambrosia Impérial with no tax and free shipping. That brings it down to $209 as opposed to $245.
Thank you 😊
Hufflepuff is now on sale!
Ambrosia Imperial is that girl
I was very curious about Lamar and like yourself I was going to blind buy it! I’m so glad I did not! I can’t handle tart sharp and masculine! I’ve been going back and forth should I shouldn’t I ?????? lol thanks for making helping me decide😂
Yeah girl definitely sample first. It’s a hard pass for me!
@@jaxbeautifulyou oh no I’m passing no sample needed 😉🤣
Lamar is one I struggle with… I thought I liked it after testing it but it ends up being too loud for me. 😕 I’m trying to sell my bottle.
Yeah, I truly disliked it! Not for me.
Deep 'n' desire has great opening for first 10 seconds, but than it just becomes a scent like doing a doozer on the yacht...
Any coupons for Ambrosia?
I’m in love 😍 with that eyeshadow ❤ what is it??!😅
IT’s colourpop uh huh honey 🍯
@@jaxbeautifulyou thanks ☺️
by the way i just triec ambrosia emperiale and i smells like my moms vegetables chicken soup 😞
Isn’t Hufflepuff from HoS a limited edition that was sold out quite a while ago? Or are they planning a relaunch? It’s listed as sold out on their website anyway… Anyone who knows if it is coming back?
Yes it’s limited edition and I’m praying it gets restocked but idk for sure! Fingers crossed 🤞🏼
It’s temporarily out of stock. It is definitely being restocked.
Omg yay!!!!!
Almaz kajal or narco oasis narcotica? Which one do you prefer? Tks!
I really liked Almaz, but it didn’t wow me. Narco oasis is a love for me. ❤️
@@jaxbeautifulyou thank you for your reply!! 🥰
I think you and I have very similar tastes. This is the 3rd video where I’ve agreed with you on pretty much everything lol! I can not stand Lamar! It’s, to me, the worse smelling hyped up fragrance of the year so far lo! So so masculine and I just don’t like it. Not even for hubby lol! Ambrosia I blind bought and it’s soooo good! I went back and forth between a sample of hufflepuff or cream chiffon and went with cream but hufflepuff sounds good. I too do not own any cupcakes so was glad to be able to get the sample from Greta. I should have my samples Monday. I love unknown pleasures! I have samples of kind intentions and deep and desire otw as well.
I think you’d like Hufflepuff. It’s a summer lemon gourmand imo and it’s delectable!
I’m sad a about Lamar! I like the opening, but then it turns rose on me super fast 😭 glad I didn’t blind buy
Another awesome video Jackie, thank you so much.
You’re welcome!!
I struggle with Lamar too. I keep trying it but no... Almaz is much nicer for sure but yes, not wow.
I am so glad I didn’t blind buy them. I’m sad bc the bottles are gorgeous.
@@jaxbeautifulyou they really are 😍
Hufflepuff is 50 off right now 🎉
I wear Lamar to work and I literally got a lot of compliments from my women coworkers. Give it a sample before purchase. Thank me later.
Dang it she's sold out of Ambrosia Imperial😢
Oh you mean Greta is out of stock. I’m gonna DM you
@@jaxbeautifulyou lol yeah Greta! I'm excited to try some of those hard to find ones. So glad she created her own website!
Not a diet blueberry muffin 😭
Right?! Ain’t nobody got time for that. 😆
I felt the same way about the Kajal perfume. I loved the pineapple, but it was way too masculine for me
Absolutely agree with you about Kajal Almaz and Lamar !They sharp and something dirty in the background.The only one I really think worth to try it’s Dahab,very smooth and feminine perfume.
Lamar was a scrubber for me. I was shocked!
I havent gotten the first banana 🍌 one you mentioned i blind bought lamar kajal in the winter and ended up selling it. It smells middle eastern and masculine so ya not a good one. in didnt get paulinas fragrance but i dont like Navitus they have terrible customer service and they dont package carefully just a crap house to me. i havent smelled hufflepuff but Greta is sending me Minnie so cant wait to smell it. I also got Deep n Desire Yacht in the winter but i ended up selling it because it was too fruity. i also didnt like ruby n vanilla i need to smell it again 6 months later.
