My daughter buys honey every time she sees a bottle in Marshall’s, TjMaxx, and Ross so she never runs out! My back ups are Angel Muse, Armani Si & Si Intense, and Lancôme La Nuit Tresor. I have 2 back up bottles of each!
I just learned that my all-time favourite perfume is discontinued, so I'm planning to buy more than one backup bottle of Ralph Lauren Blue. It is heavenly relaxation in a bottle.
Calvin Klein is probably my favorite designer for all things, clothing and shoes and fragrance. I’m glad I can access a few of these items pretty affordably.
Honestly, I rarely have back ups but.. I am ashamed to admit that I have 3 bottles of JLo Still! 🤣 when I first started collecting fragrances, this was one of the first ones that I fell madly Inlove with. like a first love kind of thing 💜
It is easy to support someone who is so engaging to watch and makes such awesome informative videos, Shana. You are very welcome. 💕 The only fragrance I have bought a back-up bottle of is Mugler Angel Iced Star. That pineapple note in it is so delicious and I loved wearing it for most of last summer (and it garnered so many compliments) … I knew it was limited edition and I saw it becoming “out of stock” on most websites last Autumn so I grabbed another bottle sharpish. 🙂
I buy small first. If I love it, I buy the back up bottle bigger! I'm new to the game, so what I like and can afford is discontinued and available on the discount websites. Sometimes too, the bigger bottle is the only size available.
I have a back up bottle of: Tommy Girl, JLo, the tropical coconut one and the original, Honey by Marc Jacobs, and some Bath and Body works body sparays.Also a back up of Cloud by Ariana Grande and Britney Spears Fantacy.
I am extremely pro-back-up bottles! Mainly because you never know when a perfume is going to be discontinued or reformulated, and if it's a signature scent, that can be so tragic. It's happened to me too many times with fragrances I love (Shalimar Initial and L'Occitane Eau d'Iparie spring to mind). I have backup bottles of: Amouage Epic Woman, Balenciaga l'Essence, Tocca Stella, Elie Saab Le Parfum... probably a few others, but those are the ones I can't afford to run out of.
I don’t really do backups but I always repurchase Calvin Klein “Euphoria”, Alfred Sung “Shi”, and Jlo “Glow”...my favorite oldie’s but goodie’s. Oh and JPG “La Belle”. I’m constantly switching my fragrances so it’s hard for me to get through most of my fragrances lol
Back in the day my signature scent was Cherry Vanilla, so I purchased that faithfully. Now, I haven't done it with perfume but, I have done it with Cashmere Glow BBW fragrance mist and Miracle the oil (African shop).
I have a backup of Still by J.Lo. It’s my absolute favorite. Thanks for putting me on. My daughter really loves CK Women so I feel like it’ll be another bottle pulling up in here soon. ❤️
I do not really buy backup bottles but I do repurchase when I finish it. The perfumes I repurchased and would buy backup bottles of are Chloe, Eclat De Arpage, Dolce & Gabana Light Blue, Victoria's Secret Bombshell, Lancome Idole and a cheapie but goodie which is Fantasy by Britney Spears :) P.S. Can you do a video on perfumes that bring memories for you whether its good or bad. Would love to see that!
I have the Calvin Klein Sheer Beauty and it's incredible. One interesting note about this fragrance its a stand out, it doesn't smell like anything else.
Theres only a couple fragrances that I feel the need for backup bottles and they're mostly discontinued ones that are HTF. Miss Dior EDP 2017, Lavandes Trianon and JPG Classique Essence Intense. Those are my 3 absolute favorite gems that are all discontinued, HTF, and expensive so I have backup bottles. I never ever want to be without them.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who snatches up backup bottles of my favorite scents! I am worried sometimes that they may be reformulated or discontinued, so I tend to grab an extra one if they are a good price. The most recent one I did this with was Elizabeth Arden White Tea. I love that one so much. It is so serene, calming, spa-like. I was worried that it might become harder to find. Oh, and I am so excited that you love Violet Eyes, too! The first time I sprayed it a couple of years ago I was overcome with some sort of scent memory that felt very nostalgic and wistful. I can't figure out what it reminds me of, but it was a memory from years and years ago . . . one of those things that evokes a very strong emotion and you can't figure out where it is coming from. It is such a lovely scent , and it feels so cozy and comforting. It is one that I will always have in my collection.
That's what I said! I HATE that. It's a NEW perfume, give it another name. Tell us you're discontinuing so we can buy what we love instead of you tricking us and stealing our money. OK, rant over.
Yep, I have purchased back up bottles- or just extra bottles of fragrances I love. For all of the reasons you mention & also because if it is a family member or dear friend & they like what I am wearing I MIGHT give them a bottle. Plus I have backups of my signature scents "just because." None of them are limited edition, but you know how we do! 😂🤣😂
After several months, I have been able to buy Still by Jlo in a perfumery and I am very happy, you describe it so well...It is fresh and clean but also complex and intense, and the funny thing is that I can perceive the main notes from the start to the end. Thank you so much! 😘😘
I have 2 backup bottles of Black Opium Nuit Blanch. It’s discontinued. That’s the reason I did it. It is my signature scent. I am sad it’s gone. So I made sure I would have it for a longer time.
D&G L'Impetrice is always on rotation. I began buying backup bottles for this one because it smells really good, the price is not bad, and you never know if it will be discontinued.
Hi Shana, I've been watching your videos for years. My back up bottles are Bath & Body Works Saltwater Breeze. They just restocked it. It's such a fresh ocean scent.
Omg you are absolutely beautiful!!!! I actually don't t have backups I do repurchase my favorite perfumes when they are a little less then half full so I'm not without I don't have any that are scares as of now so don't feel the need to panic n get any backups lol but if need be I would! Lol
Pleasures and Pleasures Intense were my last couple years in high school scents, and this was 20 plus years ago when they first came out!! I miss them and I’m wanting to add them to my collection for nostalgia❤️🇨🇦
I buy backup bottles of Versace Bright Crystal, Chanel Chance Eau Tendre, Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream Forever and Narciso Rodriguez for her. My all time favs and my signature scents I reach for these often.
I had no idea honey was discontinued! I had the fragrance several years ago and was recently thinking of buying it again. I guess I'll have to keep my eye out at tjmaxx now!
I try not to do backups because it takes me a while to finish a fragrance unless I buy a 1oz bottle but I do have a few. I have Lancome Idole, Armani Si Fiori, Alfred Sung Jewels and Lanvin Oxygene. I'm going to buy a backup of Marc Jacobs Honey and Dot when I go to Marshalls or TJMaxx because the prices online are ridiculous. TFS💕
Definitely buying backups, I went 16 months years looking for Tender romance, since then if I hear there's a discontinued fragrance or its starting to be scarce, I love, I will buy a back up- currently in New Zealand *Absolutely blooming, Decadence edp and eau so Decadent are on my watch to buy soon.
I repurchased as some from ck, Burberry, Oscar de la Renta's and d&g but i didn't restock.. Btw i found new fragrance from vera wang house it is glam princess and a perfect dupe for Chanel chance, if anyone likes to know😍
Absolutely love STILL by J Lo!! I have back up bottles of Kayali’s Fragrance and have given away all the other back up bottles. I stopped buying backups because I just give them away lol 💕. Great review lovely
Hey Shana, great video love! I nevaaaaaaa would’ve even thought about buying the fragrance let alone a back up of this fragrance. Up until I discovered you and the perfume community here on YT I was a perfume snob (only bought fragrances from Sephora, high end, and niche’).Because of you I purchased Guess Seduction Noir and I have a back up,the roller ball, and fragrance mist. The roller ball came in a set with the lotion and a 3.4 bottle all for $25 at Burlington. I would’ve of never worn a Guess fragrance but I love it and get soooooo many compliments over my high end and niche.
Hey Shana, only two bottles for a backup? LOL! You are not the only one that does it, me too. When I found out my favorite fragrance ( Gucci by Gucci) was being discontinued, I completely lost it. I snatched up 2 lotions, and 2-3 2.5 oz bottles. Glad that I did, due to scarcity the price is now 20-30 dollars higher. I learned my lesson from Sensuous noir by Estee Lauder. It was around $60 now it goes for $200 a bottle. No thank you, I will move on to something new...
The only backups I have are 1) BS Private Show because I started realizing the prices were getting out of control and I came across a large bottle on a second hand site for a crazy good price so I couldn’t resist and 2) Zara Nuit because for me it just feels wrong to go to bed without Nuit, I adore the scent and it calms and relaxes me so since I use it so often I want to stay stocked.
I have a back up of GLow and Still by J.Lo ...love them and found them for a good price, Pink Sugar, Pure Honey by KK, Stone by Replay (dupe for YSL Manifesto Elixir), La belle EDP, Ellie Saab Girl of now, Shine and L'eau couture
I have backups for my signature scents. Florabotanica by Balenciaga, kaleidoscope from bath and body works, egyptian goddess, Sara Jessica Parker lovely and bal d'Afrique(dupes). Perfumes unfortunately get discontinued a lot and I don't ever want to be without.
I have a bad habit doing that sometimes especially if I love love a scent because they like to reformulate scents and make weaker and such at times especially if it becomes popular
Aww that's cute how you spray ur daughters with the Berry Blast perfume! Speaking of Pink Sugar, I buy backups of that if I see it really cheap or in a gift set that is reasonable. This & a perfume that came out many years ago Lavender by The Healing Garden are the only two that I bought backups for.
Hmmm I love lavender anything...The Healing Garden sounds so familiar. It's weird because I'm ALWAYS so tempted to buy backup bottles of PS. There's something abt that sweet scent/pink stripe bottle and low price. Deadly combo lol.
Great Video. I have a back up of Agent Provocateur Fatale, Rhianna Nude, Rhianna Rebel, Rhianna Reb'l Fleur, Rhianna Reb'l Fleur Love Always, Adam Levine for Women, and Bronze Goddess
Backup bottle worthy for me is my top favorites are discontinued. Also they have to be ones that stood the test of time and I never got tired of it. (Through multiple pregnancies, taste changes, Covid) My signature original Vince Camuto since 2013. I must buy every bottle I can find just in case it disappears from the discount stores. That one is a “lifer” lol
Tobacco and Tonka Bean, that one was so inexpensive that I actually bought a back up bottle and I ended up giving them to my son's. I love it more on them. The only other Fragrance I purchased a back up bottle for is La vie est bell, by Lancome. It was my signature until everyone started wearing it...then all the back up bottles I had, I used as gifts .... This was a great video, and sis you always and I mean always look so beautiful 💖
Yes- I have back ups of several loved discontinued (or rumored to soon be) Quelques Fleurs by Houbigant , OG Angel (hahaha I know you just can’t 🤣🥰, CK Obsession (older versions better)and Escada Magnetism (you couldn’t do this one either -This one smells like a gourmand chocolate amazing fragrance on me🤣) I love Still and amazingly, I just received Shock in Scent by Police and it is so good that I am thinking of getting a back up just in case it increases in price or gets hard to find because it is such a beautiful replica of JPG’s Scandal.
Thanks to you my perfume game is fiya. I've always had nice scents but you have put me on to so many more. I love blind buying. In this video I have 7 of the scents you mentioned. I blind bought all of them.
The only fragrance I've bought a backup for is Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle (original). I got halfway through my first bottle last fall and started to panic because it's a fragrance I gravitate to and crave and at the time I first got it was already scarce and sold out everywhere so I found 2 testers on one of my trusted websites I go to for everything and got 2 more. It's one I can't go without.
I think I only have two fragrances with back up bottles and one of those was a gift from my hubby b/c he didn't know I already had a bottle of that same fragrance. I generally try not to purchase back up bottles only b/c I don't have a large space for my fragrances. Now, if i did...that would be a different story!!! LOL! However, if you have the space for them the reasons you listed to have backups makes complete sense! But sis, I have been on the HUNT for that MJ Honey for a while and am SHOCKED at how much they are charging for it online! Especially FragranceNet!! You scored big time with with finding them at TJ for that price! I have yet to be so lucky. I am going to keep trying tho! I am obsessed with that perfume but was late to the party too! Great video!
What a cool video! P.s. I just bought a backup bottle of an old Guess by Guess release, because it was my perfume in highschool :) Archivar object for the sake of memories. However, I always stock up on Dior Hypnotic Poison EDP parfum, it's my true love 😍 Calms my anxiety.
I have back-up bottles of many scents, especially if the original bottle is less than 2 oz. I will also buy back-ups when I find them on sale. I totally agree with you on Eternity Moment. I recently found a bottle at T.J Maxx and really enjoy it. I see it as a Warner weather fragrance. However, it doesn’t seem to get good reviews which I don’t understand.
I’m just starting my collection so no. I’ve never purchased a back up. I don’t think I ever will. My b&bw collection and hygiene collection is getting too much . I’m on project use it up. Also have so much hair care so no back ups for me.
Perfumes are expensive in my country... and as time pass by, perfumes got more & more expensive, so I bought backups of perfumes Im sure i gonna repurchase anyway. If i waited until my bottle run out... the price only increase & it never go bck to same price i got before. There are 3-4 perfumes i got a backup. 😁 Chloe Love Story, jadore, few burberry ones.
Still is a stunner! I bought it, took it back then repurchased & ran thru a bottle quick but have a bigger bottle on deck. I have the Berry Blast & have some layering ideas for it. I recently got the Aquolina Red Velvet & I layered it with BB Her... it was flawless!
Hi Shana, I am subscribed to your channel and want to say I really like your New York/Caribbean thing you got poppin' off in your videos. Don't ever change. But yes, I got some great gems from watching your vids, thanks always and God Bless!
You know they will change the formulation too. That's why I did it. I only have 1 and that Gucci Guilty. I didn't do it anymore because I have a slight hoarder spirit.
Listennnn, perfume is a necessity for me. Just like Im not out of tissue, toothpaste and body wash. I need my back stock of Tocca Florence, Chloe original and lovestory, CK2, Still, Mademoiselle… yea just to name a few.
I don’t have many backups since I have so many perfumes but I have Prada Candy, J.Lo Miami Glow, Lolita Lempicka EDP. I have given a perfume away and repurchased since my tastes has changed.
I have backups of poison girl EDP which is d/c and 1 of vanilla 28 bc it's always sold out. Otherwise I will get a new bottle when the old is almost empty, but I don't consider that a backup.
I hadn't really bought back up bottles of scents until like last year and my reasons are they same as yours, usually for me if I feel it may be discontinued. I hadn't really loved any scents too in a long while until recently. The 1st one was Rosewood by Banana Republic. I started seeing it more at discount stores so I thought it was getting discontinued. How slow I go thru bottles though, I might end up selling it lol. Then one called "promise me" by aeropostale, read reviews on it and bought it at burlington, liked it and its so cheap so I bought 2 small backups then I found the big bottle and just wanted the bigger bottle so I got it haha. Many may not like it but there is something about it for me. I think these are the only 2 I have back ups of but I wish I would've bought a back up of Alaia EDP, I blind bought it on clearance for 23 bucks but didn't know if I'd like it. After testing and having it a while I starting liking it and wished I'd bought the 2nd bottle they had at Marshall's but I didn't. Its ok tho cuz I'm also a light sprayer and that one's potent. I thought about buying a backup of "still" so if I see it again in burlington I may get one, I love that one too. And you have me entrigued about eternity moment, I saw it the other day but didn't get it. I'm gonna read the notes and if I like them next time I'm getting it. Loved this video💕
Loved this comment because u mentioned a couple of fragrances ice seen at Burlington but was nervous to buy. Rosewood and Promise Me to be exact. I didn't mention this in the video, but I think my issue is passing up a good deal 🙄.
@@ShanaJ Yes I passed up Rosewood so many times then finally got it and really like it. I could see it going unisex but it leans more feminine with a little edge to it. Kind of woody, doesn't last but I love it for cozy days at home. Its a relaxing home scent for me. And promise me may lean young to most, reminds me of an Abercrombie scent from back in the day but it has this soapy scent I like. Not sophisticated soapy but like kind of preppy soapy and clean. I was really surprised by a few Aeropostale scents I took a chance on The other one I love is "Her 1987 Denim". You have to overspray it but once you do its this lingering jasmine tea scent to me. Really like it. Ok I'll stop yapping bye bye!!
My back up bottles are Calvin Klein Obsesion ,Juicy Couture Couture, Versace Eros Pour Feme and Elizabeth Taylor Diamond & Rubies just to name a few. O and Jlo Glow☺
My only back up bottle is Lavandes Trianon. I really don’t buy back ups because I’m not an over sprayer and I have so many that it would take me a long time to get through a perfume. Only if it’s a love and discontinued I would buy a back up.
I've bought back ups of Light Blue, Jimmy Choo original, You're the One, Into the Night and Champagne Sprinkles. My most bought back up is Light Blue. I buy back ups because I don't want to be without a scent.
I have 3 bottles of Berry Blast. It's a must. It has a unique berry smell and with lightness of the Original pink sugar. I just bought the Sheer Beauty bc of you. It wasn't much so if I don't like it it's ok.
I haven't bought back up bottles yet of any fragrance but I have rebought several fragrances. I would buy a backup bottle if I found out it would be discontinued or it's hard to find.
I have backup on Angel Muse edp, Si Armani, Dior Pure Musc and Decadence MJ. 😍 AND Musk extreme by PMC!!! I am sooo glad I got Decadence before it was discontinued 🥰
I have back ups of Libre Le Parfum and Girl of Now original, but that’s only cos I bought 30mls of each to try them and fell so in love that I bought larger bottles to use after I use up the 30mls. I do use both of them a lot (particularly GoN) so I feel like it was justified. I got them on sales too
I haven't done any so far bc I rarely finish any. I considered The only one Intense bc the price was really good online for the tester, lol. But I see perfume that I would repurchase.
If I really like a perfume, I will repurchase them, so my back-ups/repurchases are Tous Gold, a really clean, soapy and not too sweet scent, I love it, Alien, I can never be without it and none of it's flankers can compare : ), Nina Ricci, Rose Extase, the most beautiful musky rose scent with vanilla and raspberries. Great video, as usual!!
I bought backups of something that a lot of people think is a most basic fragrance Nirvana White ... but I do not regret it 🤍 I freaking love that perfume
I buy my favorite for backup, Prada Candy. Usually buy extras at Christmas when there are sets. I also purchase Marc Jacob fragrances, mostly the Daisy scents.
I support buying backup bottles. I have backup bottles of Vera Wang Princess, Ari by Ariana Grande, and Midnight Fantasy by Britney Spears. Three really good scents that I love ❤️ Loved this video!
That is so me. Perfumes or food is my spirit lifter. 🥰🥰 I’m about to get back up bottles for Gucci Memoir, Alien, Armani Code, Pink Sugar and Jlo Miami glow 💋
Yes, I have a few back up bottles. I have two backups for L'eau d'issey ( this was my first more expensive fragrance and I must always have it), one for Mugler's Womanity and one for You or someone like you from Etat libre d'orange.
Shana, you look gorgeous as always! I just bought back ups for Burberry Body and Reb le Flur. I know you said you and that scent don’t vibe, but try Reb le Flur Forever. It’s the one in the black bottle. It’s the same scent but mixed better and with the coconut more in the forefront, making it more creamy. It smells so sexy!!
I only have one back up and it’s Vanilla 28. I got it because I like it, it’s harder to find in stock usually and I wanted one to sit and macerate while I use the first one. Oh wait, I have a backup of Tom Ford one of the summer scents that I can never remember the whole name something like Azzura costa something. Ha! I may sell my backup though. I got an awesome deal on them and love it in the summer.
@@ShanaJ I will for sure. I was fortunate to find them at a cosmetics company store and had a coupon. Otherwise, TF is too expensive for me. Ha! Just found your Instagram even though I’ve been watching a while. Loving the combos you post there! Going to explore those now.
Hi Shana, I gifted myself 2 perfumes for Christmas. Because you told me Glow smelled like white Dove I bought that and Lovely recommended by CurlyScents. Both were blind buys and haven't regretted it one bit. Thank you so much. I'm not a many bottled girl so it was a tough decision. I love them both but I def know I need another bottle of Glow.
I purchased a back up of Coach Poppy because, I love it, I notice people gravitate towards me more when I wear this fragrance and most important it was being discontinued. Back up of Kilian Princess because its one of my faves and it was being discontinued at the time, but now probably because of the popularity and demand they decided not to discontinue it.
I have bought Liz Claibornes Mambo which is older and for some reason I like it. I think its 11.99 or so got it several times at Burlington. I am leary sometimes with Burlington several times fragances I"ve bought have been stale or old smelling like the shelf life is wayyyyy past!

I clicked on this so fast! Definitely ready for this list.
I appreciate you ❤.
I have back ups of Kim Kardashian "Gold" use I LOVE it. I also have a backup of Paris Hilton's "Fairy Dust" People talk smack about it but
My daughter buys honey every time she sees a bottle in Marshall’s, TjMaxx, and Ross so she never runs out! My back ups are Angel Muse, Armani Si & Si Intense, and Lancôme La Nuit Tresor. I have 2 back up bottles of each!
I'm glad you got a backup of Tresor cause they're discontinuing that line.
@@fancynancy504 Oh no, I did not know La Nuit Tresor was being discontinued. I need to find this ASAP. Thanks for the info.
@@gero1028 you're welcome.

I bought backup bottles of Burberry Brit because it was my signature scent and I was always afraid it would be discontinued. I still love the scent.
I know that fear all too well lol. It's how I ended up with so many perfumes 🙄.
Pleasures and Pleasures Intense were my last couple years in high school scents, and this was 20 plus years ago when they first came out!! I miss them and I’m wanting to add them to my collection for nostalgia❤️🇨🇦

*Absolutely blooming, Decadence edp and eau so Decadent are on my watch to buy soon.
I repurchased as some from ck, Burberry, Oscar de la Renta's and d&g but i didn't restock.. Btw i found new fragrance from vera wang house it is glam princess and a perfect dupe for Chanel chance, if anyone likes to know😍
Absolutely love STILL by J Lo!! I have back up bottles of Kayali’s Fragrance and have given away all the other back up bottles. I stopped buying backups because I just give them away lol 💕. Great review lovely
I completely understand this 👌 💯.
Btw...thanks!💕
Hey Shana, great video love! I nevaaaaaaa would’ve even thought about buying the fragrance let alone a back up of this fragrance. Up until I discovered you and the perfume community here on YT I was a perfume snob (only bought fragrances from Sephora, high end, and niche’).Because of you I purchased Guess Seduction Noir and I have a back up,the roller ball, and fragrance mist. The roller ball came in a set with the lotion and a 3.4 bottle all for $25 at Burlington. I would’ve of never worn a Guess fragrance but I love it and get soooooo many compliments over my high end and niche.
Thanks for your honesty! Super refreshing. I'm so glad you opened up mind and nose and tried something new. Awesome feedback! 💕💕💕.
I used to wear Guess Seductive and loved it, so beautiful!! Sadly it didn't last. Is the Noir version better in that way I wonder?
Hey Shana, only two bottles for a backup? LOL! You are not the only one that does it, me too. When I found out my favorite fragrance ( Gucci by Gucci) was being discontinued, I completely lost it. I snatched up 2 lotions, and 2-3 2.5 oz bottles. Glad that I did, due to scarcity the price is now 20-30 dollars higher. I learned my lesson from Sensuous noir by Estee Lauder. It was around $60 now it goes for $200 a bottle. No thank you, I will move on to something new...
The only backups I have are 1) BS Private Show because I started realizing the prices were getting out of control and I came across a large bottle on a second hand site for a crazy good price so I couldn’t resist and 2) Zara Nuit because for me it just feels wrong to go to bed without Nuit, I adore the scent and it calms and relaxes me so since I use it so often I want to stay stocked.
Sun-ripened Raspberry by B&BW. They took it off the market for 10 years. 💔
Then they brought it back and I.lost.my.mind. and bought 5. Never again. 😆
🤦♀️😂😂😂😂
I have a back up of GLow and Still by J.Lo ...love them and found them for a good price, Pink Sugar, Pure Honey by KK, Stone by Replay (dupe for YSL Manifesto Elixir), La belle EDP, Ellie Saab Girl of now, Shine and L'eau couture
"I feel like it's a limited edition, but nobody said that." 🤣👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 She's so funny
😅
I have backups for my signature scents. Florabotanica by Balenciaga, kaleidoscope from bath and body works, egyptian goddess, Sara Jessica Parker lovely and bal d'Afrique(dupes). Perfumes unfortunately get discontinued a lot and I don't ever want to be without.
I have a bad habit doing that sometimes especially if I love love a scent because they like to reformulate scents and make weaker and such at times especially if it becomes popular
Aww that's cute how you spray ur daughters with the Berry Blast perfume! Speaking of Pink Sugar, I buy backups of that if I see it really cheap or in a gift set that is reasonable. This & a perfume that came out many years ago Lavender by The Healing Garden are the only two that I bought backups for.
Hmmm I love lavender anything...The Healing Garden sounds so familiar. It's weird because I'm ALWAYS so tempted to buy backup bottles of PS. There's something abt that sweet scent/pink stripe bottle and low price. Deadly combo lol.
@@ShanaJ It was sold at Walmart and discount stores. The brand was by Coty. I've seen it on websites & it's way overpriced. It smelled so good!
Great Video. I have a back up of Agent Provocateur Fatale, Rhianna Nude, Rhianna Rebel, Rhianna Reb'l Fleur, Rhianna Reb'l Fleur Love Always, Adam Levine for Women, and Bronze Goddess
Backup bottle worthy for me is my top favorites are discontinued. Also they have to be ones that stood the test of time and I never got tired of it. (Through multiple pregnancies, taste changes, Covid) My signature original Vince Camuto since 2013. I must buy every bottle I can find just in case it disappears from the discount stores. That one is a “lifer” lol
Tobacco and Tonka Bean, that one was so inexpensive that I actually bought a back up bottle and I ended up giving them to my son's. I love it more on them. The only other Fragrance I purchased a back up bottle for is La vie est bell, by Lancome. It was my signature until everyone started wearing it...then all the back up bottles I had, I used as gifts .... This was a great video, and sis you always and I mean always look so beautiful 💖
I'm glad you did this video because now I can search for these hidden gems. They seem like they might be easy on my purse too.
Yes- I have back ups of several loved discontinued (or rumored to soon be) Quelques Fleurs by Houbigant , OG Angel (hahaha I know you just can’t 🤣🥰, CK Obsession (older versions better)and Escada Magnetism (you couldn’t do this one either -This one smells like a gourmand chocolate amazing fragrance on me🤣) I love Still and amazingly, I just received Shock in Scent by Police and it is so good that I am thinking of getting a back up just in case it increases in price or gets hard to find because it is such a beautiful replica of JPG’s Scandal.
Thanks to you my perfume game is fiya. I've always had nice scents but you have put me on to so many more. I love blind buying. In this video I have 7 of the scents you mentioned. I blind bought all of them.
OMG!!! Marc Jacobs Honey is available again?!!! Shoots on over to fragrancenet! Hey Shana! Thanks Shana!!😆☺️🙌🏿🙌🏿💗
😂😂😂. You're welcome!
Now I want to find one . I haven't seen any in a while.
It’s a 126 on fragrancenet. I need to find a TJ max 😂
The only fragrance I've bought a backup for is Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle (original). I got halfway through my first bottle last fall and started to panic because it's a fragrance I gravitate to and crave and at the time I first got it was already scarce and sold out everywhere so I found 2 testers on one of my trusted websites I go to for everything and got 2 more. It's one I can't go without.
I think I only have two fragrances with back up bottles and one of those was a gift from my hubby b/c he didn't know I already had a bottle of that same fragrance. I generally try not to purchase back up bottles only b/c I don't have a large space for my fragrances. Now, if i did...that would be a different story!!! LOL! However, if you have the space for them the reasons you listed to have backups makes complete sense!
But sis, I have been on the HUNT for that MJ Honey for a while and am SHOCKED at how much they are charging for it online! Especially FragranceNet!! You scored big time with with finding them at TJ for that price! I have yet to be so lucky. I am going to keep trying tho! I am obsessed with that perfume but was late to the party too! Great video!
What a cool video!
P.s. I just bought a backup bottle of an old Guess by Guess release, because it was my perfume in highschool :) Archivar object for the sake of memories. However, I always stock up on Dior Hypnotic Poison EDP parfum, it's my true love 😍 Calms my anxiety.
I have back-up bottles of many scents, especially if the original bottle is less than 2 oz. I will also buy back-ups when I find them on sale. I totally agree with you on Eternity Moment. I recently found a bottle at T.J Maxx and really enjoy it. I see it as a Warner weather fragrance. However, it doesn’t seem to get good reviews which I don’t understand.
I always have at least 3 backups of my most favorite cologne. Scarcity is also a reason to get backups.
I’m just starting my collection so no. I’ve never purchased a back up. I don’t think I ever will. My b&bw collection and hygiene collection is getting too much . I’m on project use it up. Also have so much hair care so no back ups for me.
Self control on 100 😂. I wanna be like u when I grow up ✔.
Perfumes are expensive in my country... and as time pass by, perfumes got more & more expensive, so I bought backups of perfumes Im sure i gonna repurchase anyway. If i waited until my bottle run out... the price only increase & it never go bck to same price i got before.
There are 3-4 perfumes i got a backup. 😁 Chloe Love Story, jadore, few burberry ones.
So true. Once that price goes up it only increases 💯 .
I bought a back up bottle of KKW Crystal Violet musk! I loved it and its only 1 once so I bought 2 and then it was discontinued!! I am so glad I did!
Still is a stunner! I bought it, took it back then repurchased & ran thru a bottle quick but have a bigger bottle on deck. I have the Berry Blast & have some layering ideas for it. I recently got the Aquolina Red Velvet & I layered it with BB Her... it was flawless!
I want Red Velvet so bad. Where did u get yours?
@@ShanaJ Burlington, $20. I've been seeing them so much since the holidays.
My Burlington is so behind and annoying 🙄. I went this weekend and it wasn't there. I'll keep stalking 🙄. Thanks doll!
@@ShanaJ I found mine in person at Nordstrom Rack they also had it online.
Thank you. I'm still looking. Having no luck online. Ive never seen a Nordstrom Rack here in NY. We'll see. Thanks so much💕.
Hi Shana, I am subscribed to your channel and want to say I really like your New York/Caribbean thing you got poppin' off in your videos. Don't ever change.
But yes, I got some great gems from watching your vids, thanks always and God Bless!
Not changing....no time soon anyway lol. I kid I kid. Thank u so much for your feedback. It made me smile...and blush lol 💕.
You know they will change the formulation too. That's why I did it. I only have 1 and that Gucci Guilty. I didn't do it anymore because I have a slight hoarder spirit.
Excuse me.. you have DAUGHTERS?? Wow..just wow 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Hello from Estonia 🇪🇪 Loving your channel! ❤️
Yesss they're 10 and 6! Thank you! 💕
I appreciate you putting the name of the perfumes on the screen. That's a nice touch. 👌 😊
You're welcome! I appreciate the appreciation 🤗💕.
I had never heard of the sheer beauty essence. I have sheer beauty that I blind bought at tj maxx last fall and it’s nice. Very easy to wear.
Essence is the least popular but it's the nicest...IMO of course.
@@ShanaJ I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for it.
Listennnn, perfume is a necessity for me. Just like Im not out of tissue, toothpaste and body wash. I need my back stock of Tocca Florence, Chloe original and lovestory, CK2, Still, Mademoiselle… yea just to name a few.
Facts lol 👌.
I don’t have many backups since I have so many perfumes but I have Prada Candy, J.Lo Miami Glow, Lolita Lempicka EDP. I have given a perfume away and repurchased since my tastes has changed.
I love all the perfumes u listed :-)❤ .
I have backups of poison girl EDP which is d/c and 1 of vanilla 28 bc it's always sold out. Otherwise I will get a new bottle when the old is almost empty, but I don't consider that a backup.
I hadn't really bought back up bottles of scents until like last year and my reasons are they same as yours, usually for me if I feel it may be discontinued. I hadn't really loved any scents too in a long while until recently. The 1st one was Rosewood by Banana Republic. I started seeing it more at discount stores so I thought it was getting discontinued. How slow I go thru bottles though, I might end up selling it lol. Then one called "promise me" by aeropostale, read reviews on it and bought it at burlington, liked it and its so cheap so I bought 2 small backups then I found the big bottle and just wanted the bigger bottle so I got it haha. Many may not like it but there is something about it for me. I think these are the only 2 I have back ups of but I wish I would've bought a back up of Alaia EDP, I blind bought it on clearance for 23 bucks but didn't know if I'd like it. After testing and having it a while I starting liking it and wished I'd bought the 2nd bottle they had at Marshall's but I didn't. Its ok tho cuz I'm also a light sprayer and that one's potent. I thought about buying a backup of "still" so if I see it again in burlington I may get one, I love that one too. And you have me entrigued about eternity moment, I saw it the other day but didn't get it. I'm gonna read the notes and if I like them next time I'm getting it. Loved this video💕
Loved this comment because u mentioned a couple of fragrances ice seen at Burlington but was nervous to buy. Rosewood and Promise Me to be exact. I didn't mention this in the video, but I think my issue is passing up a good deal 🙄.
@@ShanaJ Yes I passed up Rosewood so many times then finally got it and really like it. I could see it going unisex but it leans more feminine with a little edge to it. Kind of woody, doesn't last but I love it for cozy days at home. Its a relaxing home scent for me. And promise me may lean young to most, reminds me of an Abercrombie scent from back in the day but it has this soapy scent I like. Not sophisticated soapy but like kind of preppy soapy and clean. I was really surprised by a few Aeropostale scents I took a chance on The other one I love is "Her 1987 Denim". You have to overspray it but once you do its this lingering jasmine tea scent to me. Really like it. Ok I'll stop yapping bye bye!!
My back up bottles are Calvin Klein Obsesion ,Juicy Couture Couture, Versace Eros Pour Feme and Elizabeth Taylor Diamond & Rubies just to name a few. O and Jlo Glow☺
Our taste in perfume is VERY similar 👌
My only back up bottle is Lavandes Trianon. I really don’t buy back ups because I’m not an over sprayer and I have so many that it would take me a long time to get through a perfume. Only if it’s a love and discontinued I would buy a back up.
love the theme of this video...you giving me lots of ideas on scents to buy
I've bought back ups of Light Blue, Jimmy Choo original, You're the One, Into the Night and Champagne Sprinkles. My most bought back up is Light Blue. I buy back ups because I don't want to be without a scent.
I was starting to think I was the only one. Thanks for the feedback 🤗.
You are my girl! We are si the same abt getting back up bottles. I still think we are wise perfume buyers. We share si many scents alike too ❤️
Of course we are lol 😂.
@@ShanaJ i just binged watch 5 vids girl so I got linterdit thanks to u 😁
Ok so you are the first person I heard to talk about “Still”. I love it. I found it a TJMaxx.
Yaaayyy...awesome feedback 💕.
I have 3 bottles of Berry Blast. It's a must. It has a unique berry smell and with lightness of the Original pink sugar. I just bought the Sheer Beauty bc of you. It wasn't much so if I don't like it it's ok.
I haven't bought back up bottles yet of any fragrance but I have rebought several fragrances. I would buy a backup bottle if I found out it would be discontinued or it's hard to find.
I have backup on Angel Muse edp, Si Armani, Dior Pure Musc and Decadence MJ. 😍 AND Musk extreme by PMC!!!
I am sooo glad I got Decadence before it was discontinued 🥰
Shana even though you didn’t mention Jlo glow I know it made the list in your heart ❤️😀. You made me fall in love with this perfume
LMAOOOO. If I could, I would add GLOW to EVERY list. Buy y'all would tell me to shut the hell up 😂.
MJ Honey is so similar to Tommy Freedom for her ! Both discontinued. So I def buy MJ Honey when I see it.
I have back ups of Libre Le Parfum and Girl of Now original, but that’s only cos I bought 30mls of each to try them and fell so in love that I bought larger bottles to use after I use up the 30mls. I do use both of them a lot (particularly GoN) so I feel like it was justified. I got them on sales too
I have several backup bottles of Oscar by Oscar de la Renta. It is heaven in a bottle and I love it.
I haven't done any so far bc I rarely finish any. I considered The only one Intense bc the price was really good online for the tester, lol. But I see perfume that I would repurchase.
A good price will make me consider buying multiple bottles lol.
If I really like a perfume, I will repurchase them, so my back-ups/repurchases are Tous Gold, a really clean, soapy and not too sweet scent, I love it, Alien, I can never be without it and none of it's flankers can compare : ), Nina Ricci, Rose Extase, the most beautiful musky rose scent with vanilla and raspberries. Great video, as usual!!
Oh my gosh Violet Eyes it is beautiful!
Smart to buy back up bottles I wish I had a back up bottle of the original Tiffany I used to love it 💖
That Lanvin Eclat smells so whimsical! Smells like fairies🧚🏻♀️✨
Facts lol.
Pink Sugar , Vanilla Bourbon (Target,) Elizabeth & James, All Cartier ladies' fragrances.
I bought backups of something that a lot of people think is a most basic fragrance Nirvana White ... but I do not regret it 🤍 I freaking love that perfume
I love this fragrance also :-). The drydown is so good.
I bought backups of Fenty (sells out in hours) and tom ford white patchouli (It got discontinued)
I buy my favorite for backup, Prada Candy. Usually buy extras at Christmas when there are sets. I also purchase Marc Jacob fragrances, mostly the Daisy scents.
I support buying backup bottles. I have backup bottles of Vera Wang Princess, Ari by Ariana Grande, and Midnight Fantasy by Britney Spears. Three really good scents that I love ❤️ Loved this video!
That is so me. Perfumes or food is my spirit lifter. 🥰🥰 I’m about to get back up bottles for Gucci Memoir, Alien, Armani Code, Pink Sugar and Jlo Miami glow 💋
I have been I obsessed with honey by Marc Jacob for such a long time and was so sad that is discontinued. I’m trying to savor the rest I have
Yes, I have a few back up bottles. I have two backups for L'eau d'issey ( this was my first more expensive fragrance and I must always have it), one for Mugler's Womanity and one for You or someone like you from Etat libre d'orange.
Shana, you look gorgeous as always! I just bought back ups for Burberry Body and Reb le Flur. I know you said you and that scent don’t vibe, but try Reb le Flur Forever. It’s the one in the black bottle. It’s the same scent but mixed better and with the coconut more in the forefront, making it more creamy. It smells so sexy!!
I'll get it. I can't lie. I'm very curious about it. Thanks for your mini, but very helpful review💕.
@@ShanaJ You are so welcome!
I only have one back up and it’s Vanilla 28. I got it because I like it, it’s harder to find in stock usually and I wanted one to sit and macerate while I use the first one. Oh wait, I have a backup of Tom Ford one of the summer scents that I can never remember the whole name something like Azzura costa something. Ha! I may sell my backup though. I got an awesome deal on them and love it in the summer.
I laughed so hard at this comment! TF Summer fragrances are great! Be sure to get a good price if u do sell.
@@ShanaJ I will for sure. I was fortunate to find them at a cosmetics company store and had a coupon. Otherwise, TF is too expensive for me. Ha! Just found your Instagram even though I’ve been watching a while. Loving the combos you post there! Going to explore those now.
Hi Shana, I gifted myself 2 perfumes for Christmas. Because you told me Glow smelled like white Dove I bought that and Lovely recommended by CurlyScents. Both were blind buys and haven't regretted it one bit. Thank you so much. I'm not a many bottled girl so it was a tough decision. I love them both but I def know I need another bottle of Glow.
I purchased a back up of Coach Poppy because, I love it, I notice people gravitate towards me more when I wear this fragrance and most important it was being discontinued. Back up of Kilian Princess because its one of my faves and it was being discontinued at the time, but now probably because of the popularity and demand they decided not to discontinue it.
I have bought Liz Claibornes Mambo which is older and for some reason I like it. I think its 11.99 or so got it several times at Burlington. I am leary sometimes with Burlington several times fragances I"ve bought have been stale or old smelling like the shelf life is wayyyyy past!
I love alot of fragrances but I only buy back up bottles for Crystal noir edt😅
