Merry Christmas Joanna! I love Chocolate Queen but I'm gladed I passed on Baklava Royale - you cemented my concerns is be too "gourmand and foody". My Xmas scent this year is Angel's Share and my NYE scent will be Navitus Venom of Love 🥰
Thank you Jalyn! Baklava Royale is very gourmand comapred to CQ which is still perfumey for me. Great holiday perfume choices! Atleast you’re prepared ahead.. I haven’t decided yet my NYE scent 😊 Merry Christmas my dear ✨
Joanna! Just placed an order for Lost in a Dream! Would you be reviewing that fragrance? Would be super curious to hear your thoughts on it, considering you like both Paulina's perfumes
I’m actually controlling myself not to buy it YET because I have Milk by Commodity and Cafe Cabanel. I’m worried that they are same. But I think I’ll get it in January. Let me know if you’ll like it. Yes! I love both of her fragrances. Just that I overspent this month already…😖🎄
I'm not sure i like Baklava Royale. The dry down gets funny/screechy/synthetic on my skin, to scrubber proportions 😮 Maybe the amberwood 😬 I find with most Navitus frags the DNA/drydown is where it all goes wrong!! Funnily enough, Miele Extase which I looovvveee doesn't have amberwood, so something tells me this is the culprit!! 🤔 Vanille Leather is an absolute winner, I have it, of course! 😅 Haha Xx
Hmmmm… after your amberwood conclusion I’m starting to think same. Navitus has a particular dry down that is hard to pin point. I don’t have Miel Extase and the fragrances of AI and Sharida. I want to sample first before committing but samples are nowhere to be found here 😢 Vanilla Leather is guving me CRAZY RICH ASIAN vibe 💸💸💸
@@jmercadobeauty yep, I never buy a Navitus without sampling first, even if it means missing the discount code! 😂 Luckily in the UK I use a decant company called Small Aromas, they are wonderful and ship fast! Maybe they send to Portugal, why not ask them 🤞👍 Still waiting for them to get a couple recent navitus ones so I can sample first. Intrigued by Paulina's one, but it has Amberwood, lololol 🤣. I'm Asian, but definitely not rich!! 🤣😂 Totally get what you mean about Vanille Leather, screams money money mooonnneeeyyy 🎶🤑💵💰💸😆 xx
I'm curious about Jany & Voyage Paris as I haven't found anything from these to houses that made me want a full bottle yet. Maybe I finally find my unicorn fragrance 🙏
Girl! We definitely had very similar thoughts about Mula Mula Double Caramel! 🙌🏼🥰 Surprisingly I still have not yet tried anything from Sora Dora! Maybe in the coming year I'll check them out!
Yes! MMDC is definitely lighter.. Big like for me 😊 Sora Dora has good quality fragrances, worth to try I must say. I won’t recommend Mandorle though (their best seller) since you don’t like cherry scents 😄
We're definitely ScentSisters, Joanna! Feel exactly the same about Jany and Mallow. Pass on Mallow, but Jany will be my first full bottle from the brand! I also like Orchidee Rouge. I already wear a fragrance from Ramon Monegal called Flamenco because I dance flamenco, haha, but now I can't wait to check out Siesta! Sounds amazing! Also wanna try Double Caramel from Mula Mula. And I do like Vanille Leather from BDK, though I don't know if I love it enough to go full bottle. Do you pick up on the orris in it as well? Because I do. ;). Merry Christmas, Joanna! 🎄 Here's to an even sweeter-smelling New Year! 🥂🎆
Now I hear other people’s thoughts about Mallow. So it’s not just me. I don’t get candied violets at all. Jany is such a nostalgic gourmand for me. True about Vanille Leather, I have to make up my mind in spring. Merry Christmas Marie! Enjoy Pasko in Pinas 🎄✨
Haha yes, great minds! 🤯 A definite NO to Mallow 🙅♀️ and a definite YES to Jany! 🙋♀️ Do yourself a favour and buy it already 💪😂 Loving this vid already 🙌xx
Hi Joanna love BDK ❤… jany ( for the grandma of the brand) a sweet and addictive. Byron I don’t have but I’m so excited to try the rouge extreme 😻😻!!! Baklava royal it’s beast mode … but I’m starting on gourmand… thanks beautiful Joanna and I love your review!!! Kisses 😘
I was so excited about Mallow, but I hate it. I love all the notes listed, but all I get is super strong crushed up children’s grape Tylenol tablets that I took for childhood migraines in the 80s 😂. So glad I only bought a small decant.
They are different enough to have both. Hmmm that’s tough… RE has more depth but Double Caramel is more my vibe (it’s unisex) while RE is screaming feminine energy..
I only got sugared violets in the opening gor like 2 minutes.. It’s pure white floral to me with nice leather and vanilla background.. I didn’t get LDBS but now you said I have to try again. Did you like it?
Yea i didnt like Baklava Royale and i really dont know why i bought it, its too much for me. I love Yum Pistachio by Kayali because its blended to my liking, i dont want to smell like food all day. If anyone wants to buy it of me in the UK im happy to, only sprayed once or twice
I think fragrance reviewers need to stop using "photorealistic" which is inaccurate, and instead go with the more accurate "olfactorealistic". The latter deals with one's nose receptors.

Mallow was an absolute no no for me. Jany is a completely different story. I love it. I just wish the projection was better.
I feel the exact same way!
Jany projects nicely on me. Not a beastmode but I get compliments considering I spray only few from the sample bottle..

Very interesting and useful video 👍 thank you !
Hope it’s helpful 😊

Definitely try them out first. Jany is super gourmand and Voyage à Paris is more elevated /fancy style frag 😊
Great video! I appreciate your thoughts! 🙂
Glad it was helpful!😊
Hi Joanna ❤ can’t wait to your opinions 😊
🥰
I thought Baklava Royale was totally sexy! 😍 It did get too intensely sweet later on in the drydown, but I did love it! ❤
Too sweet but very baklava like.. Love it for winter 🥰

I’m surprised with Mallow. I heard only good things about it.. I thought it’s only me… 😣 Jany though is a gourmand dream 🍎🥧
Hi Joanna love BDK ❤… jany ( for the grandma of the brand) a sweet and addictive. Byron I don’t have but I’m so excited to try the rouge extreme 😻😻!!!
Baklava royal it’s beast mode … but I’m starting on gourmand… thanks beautiful Joanna and I love your review!!!
Kisses 😘
Sooner you’ll try them and you decide which gourmand is for you 😊
great video as always Joanna
Thank you 🥰

The way you described Tylenol tablets with passion 🤣🤣 It didn’t work out for me either…
I love Baklava Royale, so gorgeous. The one i blind bought and don't really like is Mallow, i regret buying it
I can imagine. I only heard good things about it in YT atleast. Baklava Royale is perfect for winter 👌
Do you Prefer Mula DC over Mula RE ?! Or it’s different enough to have both ?
They are different enough to have both. Hmmm that’s tough… RE has more depth but Double Caramel is more my vibe (it’s unisex) while RE is screaming feminine energy..
@@jmercadobeauty got it , thank you so much for your help, I love your videos and recommendations too ❤️
I blind bought Vanille Leather. To me it smells like sugared violetts. Like big sistet pf Love don’t be shy. 🙈🤷♀️
I only got sugared violets in the opening gor like 2 minutes.. It’s pure white floral to me with nice leather and vanilla background.. I didn’t get LDBS but now you said I have to try again. Did you like it?
I found it too violette heavy. And too sugary sweet. Not vanilla sweet.
Wish you Merry Christmas ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much my dear.. Same to you and your loved ones 🥰
@@jmercadobeauty Thank you ❤️

I get what you mean. It’s dense and thick and can be too much for some I think…
I think fragrance reviewers need to stop using "photorealistic" which is inaccurate, and instead go with the more accurate "olfactorealistic". The latter deals with one's nose receptors.
Olfactorealistic 👌 thanks for making me think.. 😉
