I definitely fell into the fantasy of wanting to love what others were raving about when I first started my channel ! I quickly realized a lot of them just weren’t my taste ,I was so happy when people started sending me me samples where I could really discover what I loved and didn’t
Samples are fab aren't they?! It's lovely to sniff things that others love. 🥰
Yes! I was really wanting CK Reveal, but that purchase taught me I have yo be really careful when salt is a note in fragrance.
👏👏👏👏 Great video, Claire! I always love the message that everyone should be proud of their own taste in fragrance, whether it aligns with hype/the masses or not! ❤❤
Absolutely! 💯 It's what makes everything interesting and ultimately makes you happy. It shouldn't ever be effort to wear something. 🥰
Hi Claire 😊
I recently got a bottle of Lolita Lempicka edp. I wanted it for quite a while.
I blind bought Afnan Rare Tiffany after hearing raves about it. I absolutely detested it. 😝 I decluttered it too. 😂
The perfume was Pulsating off of you?😂😂😂
I loved the video 💛
Thank you ❤️ Lolita Lempicka is beautiful 💜 haha Rare Tiffany is one I will forever regret 😂 it was very plasticky to me.
It was! I have an 8 person office and half a spray filled it! I'm not surprised because I can smell my friend in the lab always from at least 5m away, sometimes more! It's a strong one! 🥰
Your description of aldehydes as 3D is the best thing I’ve heard all week! It took me ages to come around and appreciate the smell of them in perfume, now I love aldehydes. 🎉😊
Thank you ❤️ They took me a while too! I think smelling them outside of things that are well known, like Chanel no. 5, helped me to appreciate them. There's much more to them than soapiness. 😉
Hi Claire! What an interesting and unusual tag. Question number four really made me giggle. 🤭 I don’t currently own anything I'm ashamed of, but the ME hype has certainly gotten the best of us all at some point. I bought some cheap dupe before I bought Lancome’s Oud Bouquet, but neither worked for me. 🙁 My favourite natural material is probably myrrh. I was always under the impression that the myrrh used in things like Opium is real, but I'm not so sure anymore.
Myrrh is gorgeous 😍, I love it when it has that slightly medicinal feel to it too. Yes I'm afraid I'm unwilling to blind buy affordable ME now. I've been burnt way too many times, but Rare Tiffany was definitely the one where I realised that my own taste is seemingly no one else's on YT 😂 feel free to do the tag if you fancy it. Thanks for watching 🥰
Oh yes, I remember when Rare Tiffany was all the rave. I was tempted too, but by then, I started to seeing it on decluttering videos.
It was everywhere I wasn't it?! I have no idea how that got so much hype. 😂
DKNY Be Delicious was one of my first perfumes as well. Technically curious by Britney Spears was my very first perfume however I was a young teen at the time. Be Delicious was the first one I purchased as an adult 😋 I was 23 and I felt so grown up going into that department store and buying that perfume🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like DKNY Be Delicious fragrances in general…. now I have one, Be Delicious Golden 😊 but I really want to try all the others.
Curious was huge wasn't it? I was very into indie/alternative at the time so Britney was basically the anti-Claire 😂 although I do remember thinking Toxic was actually catchy! Be Delicious was a huge hit and that was in the middle of that trend for apple that's really died away now. I find it very nostalgic. 🍏
My friend had the red one that's discontinued and hated it, I remember quite liking it and be delicious night too. I don't remember trying golden delicious but I do remember the bottle so I must have! 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume apple perfumes are some of my favorite🥰🥰🥰
Thanks Claire! I want to try Orpheon! Last 3 samples Oro Verde - Yes, Psychedelic Love - No, Tobacco Honey - Yes, but my 10ml decant is plenty. And my most comforting fragrance is Amethyst Haze.
I really like Tobacco Honey! I didn't think I would, but I do and I can see that 10ml would do me fine too, because it's so strong! Orphéon is a shape shifter for me, sometimes I get more soapiness, other times more powderiness.
I need to try Amethyst Haze. 💜 Thanks for watching 🥰
The frag I was ashamed of owning was Delilah, a dupe of Delina. Smelled both side by side and my nose couldn’t detect much difference. What was embarrassing about it is that I knew I didn’t like the original Delina and yet I was trying so hard to like it because it’s such a hyped and beloved scent. I thought if I can handle the dupe then I would eventually buy the OG 😂. Trying to train my nose to like something to fit in and chase clout seems rather shallow and silly to me now 😂.
Yes! I understand what you mean! It was very hyped and everyone seemed to love it. I'll admit I tried it and I didn't understand the love for Delina, I did eventually also try a clone oil of Delina Exclusif and that wasn't for me either 😂 I did try! But yes, it's ridiculous 😂
I feel like aldehydes are coming back as a trend right now! Which is pretty cool, because it's such an interesting material and it can be so creatively used
Yes, I think you are right, I've smelt many more fragrances using them of late. I'm glad to see people move on from solely associating them with Chanel no.5. 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume true!
Thank you Claire! ❤ I’m blushing, so flattered you answered these questions. A few comments- love the Fan Dobi Dozi title. 😂 I was dying at Rare Tiffany! The Gatorade Glacier Blue color of that juice… ! It wasn’t intentional but at 13:59 you brought up a good point - it’s easier to recall indie perfumers because they’re the brand owners too. I am really pleased that is the case as they truly are the heroes of perfume as you said. Yes! 🙌🏼 Thank you again for taking time to answer these questions! 👏
Oh it was Jon for sure, he loved your questions and tagged me ☺️ they are fab questions, way more original than many tags 👌
Lol Rare Tiffany 🤦♀️ Jon put toxic waste in his imagery when he reviewed it (he makes his feelings clear 🤣).
And yes! We need to talk more about indie on RUclips. It's an issue that brands have to be huge before they become worthy of a video. Views needed to take a back seat to personal interest and validity sometimes. Thanks for watching 🥰
Hi Claire, happy Sunday. This is a fun tag. I rather enjoy tags. Yes we are often influenced to think we should like something that doesn't suit us because it is popular lol. I am intrigued by Orpheon. I am also now interested in looking into aldehydes. I like a small to medium projection. I like people to notice it if they lean in but not be overwhelming or leave a trail. What was the name of the one that lifted your spirits and made you feel that you were in the bath? Fun tag! I loved it - Mona
These questions were so good! This was a really fun video, loved your answers! ❤
Thank you ❤️ feel free to do this if you fancy it. 🥰
Hi Claire. The Orpheon saga continues 😂 It's a beautiful classy perfume. The bottles are gorgeous too.
My last three samples were:
Bois d'Ebene from Matiere Premiere (lovely, woody, quite powerful)
Le Solstice by Moncler (beautiful, soft powdery musky iris, violet and sandalwood) - I think you'd like this one Claire)
Matiere Premiere's Parisian Musc (should've been named Powerful Parisian Fig but very nice).
I'd like full bottles of all three! 😂
It does! I think I should just get it 🤣 this is ridiculous...
I've tried Encens Suave and French Flower from Matiere premiere, I liked Encens Suave 😊 I think I sprayed the Musc one in store though, I should retry it. I will look for le Solstice, sounds good 👍
You started your fragrance journey much earlier than I did, I think the first scents I ever got were the Harajuku Lovers set and Juicy Couture was somewhere around there too.
Aldehydes remind of the 80s and 90s when I had to hold my breath and power walk through the beauty section of the department stores because the scent of aldehydes was so overwhelming I could not breathe!!
Aldehydes kept me away from fragrance for most of my life. Trends come and go so fast these days, I hope this one is in and out super quick.
Did you try the gentle ones like in Replica Bubble Bath and Lazy Sunday Morning? I agree the 80/90s ones were overwhelming in general and I'm not a fan in general. I like the bubbly, otherworldly, sparkly ones ☺️
My first fragrance was Loves Baby Soft- gifted in a Christmas stocking when I was about 8 years old. The first fragrance that I selected for myself was Colors de Benetton in Junior High.
Oh wow! I remember when Benetton was much bigger than now! I still have a Benetton makeup bag that I had in my early teens. I remember the sweatshirts were everywhere in the early nineties especially! 🥰
Hermès Un Jardin Sur Lagune picks up my day. It says you can do anything. My first perfume purchase was Red Door and then Happy by Clinique.
Red door is a classic and I remember when Happy was super popular! The first formulation was so uplifting and beautiful. I really liked those Hermès un Jardin line fragrances. I only have Monsieur Li but they really are the ultimate watercolour style line. So beautiful 😍
Be Delicious is also my nostalgic! And it's such a fun idea to talk about a fragrance you are ashamed of 😄
I think these were fab questions from Jackie.
Loved the video! My first purchase was Ralph Lauren Polo (and I'm sure I asphyxiated many people with that fragrance, it was so strong 😄). I wish I had bought a number of Kilian fragrances pre-reformulation...at the time they were really gorgeous. 😫 I'm excited because Pitching Woo came back in stock and I ordered a bottle! I won't count that as my last full bottle purchase because I haven't received it yet, and so I guess that would be Soie Malaquais by Dries Van Noten, which I absolutely love. Cheers, Claire.
Thank you ❤️ Haha 😂 I think we've all overwhelmed others at one point or another in our fragrance wearing 🤣 especially when younger.
Kilian breaks my heart, I never realised what they were like until I tried samples from Jon and that was like Pandora's box 🤦♀️
I hope you enjoy your bottle of Pitching Woo! It's unique! Soie Malaquais is really lovely, having smelt it on Chantel, who smelt delicious wearing it! I don't think it really shone on me though. Happy to hear you are one of the lucky ones with it. 🥰
Claire fun video - this was one of the better, more interesting tags and I enjoyed your answers. My first perfume purchase (gonna date myself gah 😫) was Love’s Baby Soft as a tween in the early 80’s. Looking back at that bottle now, it seems slightly phallic 😳😂 I think it’s been all uphill from there 🤣
😂 we all have dubious choices early on 😂 yeah this was a good tag, they can sometimes be quite samey. 🥰
Oh wow… first fragrance I ever bought… I’m going to have to really go back. I think it was when I was in middle school. I saved up money from chores and bought Exclamation by Coty because it was all the rage! I really thought I was so cool. 😎 😂❤
I remember the cool bottle and the smell, I bet it's not the same any more, it was a peach I remember and very 90s 😊
1. Aramis (back in the late '70s)
2. Masque Milano Ray-Flection. Yes, I have worn it.
3. I wish I had tried Serge Lutens earlier. I was very resistant to the brand for a long time. It's maybe my favorite house now.
4. LM Parfums. Hard Leather. Why do I have this?
5.Les Indemodables Patchouli Noisette, Neela Vermeire Creations Mohur Extrait, Atelier des Ors Blue Madeleine. I'd get the Mohur Extrait but it's really expensive.
6. Javanol?
7. Orange blossom.
8. Not sure something specific, but at some point I changed my mind about wearing florals (it became acceptable)
9. I'd rather something lasted about 8 hours. I don't mind if it's just a skin scent. I usually only wear one fragrance a day.
10. Olivia Giacobetti, Christopher Sheldrake, Bertrand Duchaufour
11. Etat Libre d'Orange Fils de Dieu du Riz et des Agrumes.
I almost bought a secondhand bottle of Ray-flection last week, I'm regretting not, I love that fragrance, it's so 😎 bright and happy!
Serge Lutens are fab, I have some samples and I should make a video. ☺️
😂 Why do I have this? 😂
I've not tried any Atelier des Ors, did you try any others?
Javanol is a good pick 👌 and orange blossom is beautiful, my friend let me smell his natural orange blossom extract and wow, it was so green and sweet and almost like a mild vanilla! It was gorgeous.
Florals can really be so wow on anyone 👌
That ELDO sounds very serene. ☺️
Thanks for your very interesting answers and for watching 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfumeThe only other Atelier des Ors fragrances I've tried are Crépuscule des Âmes and Lune Feline. None of them have been my style. I'm surprised I like Ray-Flection. I usually don't like mimosa much. I am a fan of Masque Milano, though.
Oh my! When you said Fan Dabi Dozi at the start, I burst out laughing. Haven’t heard that catch phrase for a long time. I remember the Krankies from living in the UK mid70’s-early 80’s. Must check out Mabelle O’Rama. Thanks Claire😃🇦🇺
Haha! Jon added that! It took several takes to say 😂 and yes, it's super 70s! 🥰
First fragrance ever purchased? Coty Exclamation
Most recent full bottle purchase? Snif Honey Suite - waiting for its delivery
Perfume brand I wish I'd tried earlier? Ormonde Jayne
Fragrance of shame? Tiffany & Co. Intense - assumed it would be good b/c it was "Tiffany"
Last 3 fragrances tested on skin and would you purchase? Dulce by Rosie Jane (no - cannot really smell it); Hermes Twilly Eau Ginger (no); Memo Paris Inverness (yes)
Favorite synthetic material in fragrance? Ambrette
Favorite natural material? Lavendar or Osmanthus
Fragrance that change stubbornly-held opinion? Tom Ford Metallique--didn't think I liked metal smells nor aldehydes
Opinion on longevity/project? 6-8+ hours is good. 1-2 is a disappointment. I like arm's length projection but not room-filling
Three perfumers you like? Geza Schoen (Ormonde Jayne), Annick Menardo (Lolita Lempicka), Thierry Wasser (Mon Guerlain Sensuelle - fave of all time)
Fave perfume to lift your spirit? Lolita Lempica Lolitaland
Interesting answers! 😊
I thought exactly the same thing about Tiffany fragrances, then I tried one and I thought again. They weren't for me.
I've tried the other two you tested but not Inverness. I will try it when I next go to my local store that sells Memo.
I'm with you on Ambrette! And I like the variety that you get with osmanthus; leathery, suedey, apricotty, sweet, floral, powdery a bit even.
Gosh! Did Geza formulate some of Ormonde Jayne's fragrances?! Wow, that explains a lot, depending which ones, I will look and see which! Thierry Washer has some lovely fragrances. 😊
Thanks for your answers. 🥰
Good morning, Claire. Like you I am partial and intrigued by aldehydes in perfumes. It was a favourite note for me early on when I was in my twenties ( decades ago!) for a long time I wore Crabtree and Evelyn scents, which years ago seemed natural smelling to my nose, especially rose and lavender. However, these products are now very synthetic and unappealing. The first perfume that I bought in my early twenties was Estée Lauder’s white linen, the original release which smelled clean and fresh-soapy. I was hooked for years! It smells very different now. Thanks for a great video and discussion!
Crabtree and Evelyn used to be really lovely stuff, their soaps and cremes were fab, I bought some for my mum again a few years back and I wasn't as impressed. I wonder whether they've changed ownership? Estée Lauder's older fragrances are / were very loved I think! I think a lot of the fragrances that I smell now smell different to how I remember them, I assume it's reformulation but also I know I sometimes have a rosy tinted view of things I've smelt long ago. I would bet White Linen has been reformulated though. Thanks for watching 🥰
This was a great tag with some challenging questions. I didn’t have answers for everything. I really enjoyed your answers 💜
Jackie really did make me think! Feel free to do it if you feel like it. 😊
Hello Claire 👋 enjoyed all the answers to the tag questions. I think there is a lot to be learned about people’s personalities from the types of fragrances they enjoy. I feel I get to know you a little better each time I watch your videos! Hope you are having a great weekend. In Canada we are celebrating our Thanksgiving long weekend.
Thank you ❤️ Happy Thanksgiving Denise! What's the deal compared with the US version? Does it celebrate something slightly different? 🥰
Oh gosh Claire, I can’t even remember my first purchase! Probably some Yves Rocher perfume or The Body Shop… but I remember having a few perfumes in my drawer when I was around 18-20… Anaïs Anaïs, CK One, Magie Noire by Lancôme and none suited me! 😅😂 My first signature scent though and it was Stella by Stella McCartney. It was my main perfume for over 20 years! I still have it and wear it sometimes.
Magie Noire seems like it was crazily popular! I think out of those Stella is the only one I'd associate with you. I know you like florals, roses and masks and vanillas, maybe some clean patchouli.
I see Stella for sale here rarely and it goes for lots of money now. Such a shame 😔 have a lovely week 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume yes, you know me well! I have moved away from rose but Gris Dior is one I’ll never be without…
Aldehydes smell 3 dimensional, you nailed it !!👏👏👏❤️❤️💖 Aldehydes smell sometimes soapy, sometimes metallic, sometimes fruity-airy but always like a strong hug around you and others, I enjoy aldehydes💙 To question nr. 9 I much prefer projection, I enjoy to call the attention, to make noticeable like " I'm here and I leave my beautiful trail, if you don't like it, you can leave the room"😂😂😂 Omg that's me☺️🥰
The types of aldehydes I love are the bubbly and other worldly ones. ✨
Haha yes! Something punchy and unapologetic 😂 have a lovely week 🥰
Some of my latest samples were:
- Cacao Porcelana - to test a second time, but probably a strong yes.
- Ô Féminin - is a no. I didn't get anything special from it, I have Fleur d'Oranger to scratch the itch of a not too sweet orange blossom. I don't need another one.
You have made me curious about Kenzo Jungle a few times in your videos. I like a good warm spicy fragrance. 😃
Cacao Porcelana is beautiful! Such an artistic but wearable fragrance 👌
Is ô Féminin one from Lancôme?
Kenzo Jungle is really lovely. 🥰
@dr.claire.perfume Ô Féminin is from M. Micallef. It's nice and doesn't go in a sweet direction. But related to Safanad, Fleur d'Oranger...
I like orange blossom, but not enough to collect one and it's not so distant cousins.
Hi Claire! So excited to learn more about you 🥰
Hello! How are you? 😊
The first perfume I ever bought was loulou by Cacharel but I also remember purchasing vanilla perfume oils by body shop.
Lou Lou is a very striking choice! What a classic 👌 I also have Ananya perfume oil from Body Shop 🤔
Brands I wish I'd tried earlier? Amouage, Guerlain L'Art & Matiere collection and MFK. I always felt intimidated.
Fragrance of shame? Panettone by Milano; I expected festive bread but got citrus essential oil.
Last 3 tested on skin? Guidance - yes; YSL L'Absolu Platine - no; Prada Infusion de Gingembre- no.
Great questions 👏
Yes, I understand the feeling of being intimidated by particular brands, especially when people on RUclips say things like, "oh this is polarising", "I don't think everyone will love this." If samples are crazily expensive, it just puts you off... Amouage were a revelation! I loved some of the older ones especially. And Guerlain are a big love too, even if I don't get to try so many any longer as my local counter closed. 🤦♀️
I have a sample of Panettone, I need to get to it! Guidance I've tried, but only briefly, I need to revisit it and pay more attention 😂 absolute Platine wasn't a love but also neither a dislike, I've not tried the Prada.
Thanks for your answers. 🥰
For me I really wanted to like Casablanca, but I couldn’t smell what everyone else seemed to smell. I finally sold it, but I felt like I was going to regret it.
I did have that experience with one other fragrance everyone was raving about in RUclips …. I sold Jimmy Choo, but then got a mini for reference and fell in love 🥰 and so bought it again 🤪
I also couldn't get along with Casablanca. I put in my 5 perfumes I love 5 I hate video, I soon discovered that so many people love that one! 🤣
Wow! Same with Jimmy Choo! I found it very synthetic and like pear drops, I bought a flanker instead, finished that, then craved the smell of the original and finished a 40ml 🤷♀️ by the end I was over it again 🤣
Hey Claire. I did the same thing with Rare Tiffany. I was so disappointed with it but thankfully my girlfriend loved it so she got that one. I absolutely love aldehydes. My first purchase would be Estée Lauder Azuree and I still love it.
Well a positive outcome from a negative is good 👍 it's lovely to make someone happy. 😊
I've not tried Azurée. The first fragrance my mum ever bought me though was an Estée Lauder, Beyond Paradise. 🥰
Agree tag questions are cool
Feel free to have a go at answering these! I'd love to hear your answers 😊
Hello Claire, thank you for interesting answers to the tag.
I too would answer aldehydes for favorite synthetic material. I have TF Métallique, many affordable bottles were available when it was quickly discontinued and I enjoy that icy blast of aldehydes like snow flakes. I wish it were more popular. I love opoponax and resins in general for winter, incense, purple flowers like almondy heliotrope, and spring purple flowers like violet, hyacinth and lilac, green materials like galbanum, too many things to list in fact, ambroxan is my nemesis, my nose ferrets it out and it genuinely makes me queasy, so no Kenzo World for me😉.
I'm on holidays in Drôme Provençale where the air wafts smells of wild thyme and pine, I feel so lucky to be spending a month here, I have only one mini bottle of Eau de néroli doré, and bottles of Jardin après la mousson and Salimar Millésime Tonka, I nevertheless watch your Saturday videos, always💚
Ooh Métallique was lovely! I am sad I didn't grab one.
I'm with you on the purple florals and resins, ambroxan too in general... I have no idea why I like Kenzo World 😂 it's so out of my normal yes / no boundaries. 🤷♀️
Gosh! What a lovely place to be! Enjoy it and smell great 👍 🥰
Aldehydes, you are my friend! Which fragrances would you say has that stand out Aldehyde dynamic!! Thanks for another great video!
No worries! Well, Replica Bubble Bath I love for the aldehydes and also Lazy Sunday Morning, the opening is a wow, sadly then it transforms into an expensive version of SJP Lovely 🤣 but it's beautiful nonetheless. I also really liked Rook Metaverse and one of the Dior Privées, I don't remember which it was right now, it will come to me. 🤦♀️
I’m gonna try Bubble bath, it sounds like I will like that one. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 😊
Good morning darling ☕️
Hello! ❤️
Hey Claire! I hated Rare Tiffany and I sold it as well. The only beautiful thing about the fragrance in my opinion was the bottle
🤣 very diplomatically put! The top faux marbled part was nice, my bottle was pretty scratched up though. The glass wasn't actually coloured, it was a coloured film over the glass on mine 🤣
Re: aldehydes, Chanel was famous (or infamous) for making aldehydes popular (although they had been used earlier). Out of curiosity, I checked the "Aldehydes" section on Fragrantica to see how many perfumes I have with aldehydes. They are:
Metallique Tom Ford
Les Absolus d'Orient Encens Mythique Guerlain
Pikovaya Dama 2018 Xerjoff
Oud Khôl Guerlain
Superstitious Frederic Malle
Maai Bogue
Rive Gauche Yves Saint Laurent
1831 Norma Bellini Absolu EdP Histoires de Parfums
Of course, their list is probably not exhaustive:)
Gosh, is that all that's listed?! Wow! Replica Bubble Bath, Lazy Sunday Morning and Rook Metaverse for sure have aldehydes too, I think there's also one from Byredo that I remember and one from the Dior Privée line.
Have a fab Sunday 🥰
Annick Menardo also made the iconic Bvlgari Black
Ooh I've not tried that, only male marketed version, which I think Alberto Morillas formulated. It sounds fab though, I love leather. 🥰
Great answers Claire!
Thank you ❤️
I guessed Orpheon just before you said it. Have you considered the solid compact? Tbh I've got a £50 Jo Malone voucher to use and have considered getting a compact instead of a 30ml; their scents don't project anyway and compacts are easy to carry around and top up as/when. It makes sense right, but I just can't make a decision 🤷♀️
Yeah I get that 😅 I find vouchers just make me confused. If it were cash I'd just buy the 30ml elsewhere and be done with it. As it is I am going backwards and forwards on whether to just get 75ml. I don't think the shop sells the solid fragrances either. Maybe I should just keep the vouchers and shop elsewhere 🤷♀️ I know what you mean too about Jo Malone, I had an in-store consultation a while back and whilst I liked a couple, most were gone from my skin before I left town. The sales assistant even added the moisturiser underneath too to try to prolong them! It shocked me! The only one that lasted was from the cologne intense range. 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume JM and Diptyque are two peas in a pod aren't they 😁
@@kathywitter6076 I think for me some Diptyque are eternal: Eau Capitale, Orphéon and others are gone from skin relatively quickly: Fleur de Peau, Ilio. I guess it's the scent profiles to an extent. But yes, the pricepoints are similar! 🥰
Great video!! I must admit I was quite surprised you chose aldehydes as your favorite synthetic ingredient. That got me thinking (and I am sorry if you have already covered this in one of your videos... I honestly don't recall)... Have you smelled Valaya, by Parfums de Marli? If you have, do you enjoy the aldehydes in it?
Thank you! ❤️ I have tried Valaya, but only in store and more than a year back when it first came out, I didn't talk about it in any video because I didn't get a sample (I like to try things multiple times before expressing an opinion ideally, other than for the question in this video) but from my initial impression I can't say I liked it because of the ambroxan. I don't remember the aldehydes but I've only tried it once a while ago and the ambroxan was the only aspect of it that I now remember, other than the pear. 😂
@@dr.claire.perfume oh that's true, I had forgotten there is ambroxan in Valaya... I confess I don't mind this note, but Valaya has something which smells like powder laundry detergent to me, and I believe it's the aldehydes... I still haven't figured out whether or not I like it, lol.
@@dulcespinelli I'll try it again when I'm next in store and tell you what I smell. You could well be right. 😊
@@dr.claire.perfume thanks, I'd really appreciate that! 🥰🥰
Me too. I feel embarrassed by super strong fragrances.
It's a very 🙈 feeling when you know it's stronger than you ever realised 😂
My most recent purchase was Lataffa BRIOCHE VANILLE.
Are you enjoying it? Do you think it's duping anything? 🥰
Kenzo Jungle Elephant is one I’m curious about.
These are two of the fragrances I was afraid of… (basing my worries on reviews)and ended up loving 🥰
Cacharel EDEN
Jessica Simpson FANCY NIGHTS
Ooh yes! I can totally see where you a
were coming from on those two! Fancy nights got a lot of bashing didn't it? I guess because people who'd bought Fancy bought Fancy Nights expecting something similar and didn't get it! Eden also has a profile that just isn't now so not many people talk fondly of it. It's just trends though, it was popular at one time! 🥰
My most recent I have not yet worn.
I think the excitement usually gets the better of me 😂
I remember Rive Gauche😊
My mum's signature fragrance still! I really associate it with her. 💙🩶🖤
My first fragrance purchase was Loves baby soft.
That seems to be a few people's answer actually! It must have been popular! 🥰
My first was Chanel No 5
What a fab choice! 😍 It took me many years to grow into Chanel no 5. You clearly had a wide taste early on.
They are great questions from our Jackie 😊
Aw that's nice ur first buy was for ur mum. Be Delicious is one I know well. An interesting first buy.
Your most recent buy is pretty damn chuffing good. It is gorgeous isn't it 😍.
Yes it's very sad with Kilian isn't it, they used to be a truly great brand, it's long gone now. I don't want to smell the new "Imperial Tea" I think it will be insulting.
Ah Rare Tiffany... A rare case of a fragrance I'll never be able to forget. This fragrance proves to me the sheeple effect, I genuinely think this objectively ghastly. I cannot fathom anyone being a fan truly.
Ah the absolue intense extreme superbanging flanker 🙄 it is a line I think is nice though.
It's a shame with Diptyque. You should treat yourself. A peppery rose probably not for me.
That Musc powder sounds rather nice actually. I imagine it's a shame with the cashmeran.
Aldehydes are rather wonderful in a fragrance.
Oh yes jasmine 🤍 a great choice. I do love it too, it's a magical note.
Kenzo Jungle is a very nice one isn't it. I didn't find it remotely hard to love or challenging 🤣. Dry spicy fragrances work and I found it quite fruity I think.
Yes I don't want eternal I want to wear more than one thing a day. And 😅 yes I don't want to fill a football stadium. I can't imagine people wearing Interlude to the office 🙄.
Oh yes a great perfumer LL and Portrayal are masterpieces.
Mabelle is fab, my heart is with her atm too.
Elise is truly a genius, she is one of my absolute favourites too.
Great last question. I'd have to have covid To wear Nova 🤣. I know you do love that Kenzo alot. I don't mind an ambroxan that doesn't melt my brain
Fantastic video Claire, I do look forward to them every week.
Imperial Tea has completely different notes listed with the new formulation which I don't take to be a good sign 🤦♀️
Rare Tiffany was horrendous. 😂
LOL I would love to know if there was a reason the Absolu was launched and the Intense was discontinued. Was it IFRA or solely so they could pedal something new and not have to design a new bottle? They literally used the same one with a different name on...
Kenzo Jungle is pretty friendly isn't it? But I guess if all you've smelt is modern female marketed designer fragrances, that is going to be a shock 😱 because it's interesting.
Interlude to the office would at least give you more space 😂
Lol, Aj would have to have COVID too, otherwise she'd leave you. 😂
Thanks for the tag Jon ❤️
@@dr.claire.perfume well you do a great job with things like this.
Yes I guess you're right with Jungle, I think it's very good.
And companies cashing in with new names 😱 noooo
Hey Claire. I did the same thing with Rare Tiffany. I was so disappointed with it but thankfully my girlfriend loved it so she got that one. I absolutely love aldehydes. My first purchase would be Estée Lauder Azuree and I still love it.
Well a positive outcome from a negative is good 👍 it's lovely to make someone happy. 😊
I've not tried Azurée. The first fragrance my mum ever bought me though was an Estée Lauder, Beyond Paradise. 🥰
