Hello loves!:) disclaimer: of course these ratings are based on my own subjective opinions on the perfumes. Please do let me know what you think about these rankings. Would you put either of them higher or lower and why?? I’m especially curious to know your thoughts on Kilian Love! 😊
Kilian love didn't wow me, it has something that bothers me in it so I'm gonna stick to my 2 ml sample and not purchase a full-size bottle. The other ones and the ranking are on point.☺️ TriBeCa has turned into one of my signature scents. And Delina exclusif is on the buy-list - loved the sillage and longevity and I think it is worth having both Delina and Delina exclusif in a collection❤
@@reallynikki5720 I'm def going to have to try a sample of Rolling in Love since I also love Love Don't Be Shy! But I have the original formula and I'm upset to hear the new one has been watered down😞 Which one do you have?
Her niche/prestige list, for anyone who wanted to keep track: 18. Kilian Love Don't Be Shy 17. Mancera Roses Vanille 16. Kilian Princess 15. Kayali Citrus 14. Maison Margiela Jazz Club 13. MFK Gentle Fluidity Gold 12. Nishane 100 Silent Ways 11. Ex Idolo Love & Crime 10. Kilian Rolling In Love 9. Montale Chocolate Greedy 8. Kayali Vanilla 28 7. Van Cleef & Arpels Orchidee Vanille 6. MFK Baccarat Rouge 540 5. Bond No. 9 Greenwich Village 4. Byredo Bal D'Afrique 3. Bond No. 9 Tribeca 2. Christian Louboutin Loubirouge 1. PdM Delina Exclusif
I watched this all the way through. You’re soooo objective and it’s appreciated. Seeing Love, don’t be shy in the last spot made me want to know more. Everything on this list still interests me in the end.
I love Baccarat, I also love the 4 kayali’s but my fave is elixir. PDM is my fave house right now. And bond 9s are next on my list! Thanks! Great video!
My first niche perfume is Mancera Velvet Vanilla. I like the smell in the bottle but in me, it’s too much, is a beast mode fragrance, very potent, last forever!!!
PdM Delina is my fave. I go by the way it makes me feel vs where I am going which is swim class for my kids and errands. If I wait to use them for special occasions then I won’t be able to use and enjoy them especially being on lock down, haven’t seen fam for more than 6 mos and counting.
Thank you for another great video! Now that you've grown your collection, an updated 10 for life would be so much fun to watch! I'd also love to see a video that doesn't have a set list. For instance, how well do I know my own collection - where you have tester strips and try to guess the fragrance sprayed on it.
I enjoy fragrance so much that I actually buy multiple samples of a scent I love to be sure I REALLY love it because my entire collection are only expensive niche. However, I wouldn’t be apposed to dupes if they perform better than the original. I wear these scents everywhere and anywhere. I personally have just found that my designer fragrances bought awhile ago, that I’m working to get through, all smell too similar to something else unlike niche.
Love by Kilian is amazing to me! I have the older formula and was so unhappy when I heard they watered down the new one. I bought a decant recently on a site where they have the older black bottle and the newer light white/peachy color one. I'm hoping the black bottle is still the original formula. If it's not it will be a huge disappointment😭 I'll be getting a decant of Bond Greenwich Village next based on your review. I currently have Delina Exclucif on the way. I have a decant of Delina and though I like it a lot, I think the Exclucif will suit me better. I do not wear my fragrances as day, night, occasion or seasonal. I wear what my mood feels like. Of course I do wear something on the lighter side for things like doctor, dentist, hair appointments and something cozy for bedtime. But otherwise it's what feels most like me that day or moment. I'd love to try Byredo Mojave Ghost & Bal D' Afrique. Would love your thoughts on Mojave Ghost!
@@thesimplechiclife Glad to hear you like it! I'm only buying samples/decants at this time so I have some new ones I'm going to try. A good size sample of something new is an adequate amount when blind buying and already have a large collection!😉
I was underwhelmed by Rolling in Love, in my opinion it's very light, I wear it during the day. It's not deep at all or rich. But then again I'm mostly into Amouage, Montale and more powerhouse fragrances. It was just cute to me.
I wear my expensive fragrances whenever, wherever I want to… depends on my mood. If I know it’s gonna be strong or suffocating, I will spray one or two hours before the occasion or before going to that place or with a light hand so I wont get headache as well. I’d like to enjoy my perfume and it makes me happy when I use them. Anyway your list is good. I need to try Hundred Silent Ways because my favorite is Ani from Nishane.
I'm sooo addicted to your videos! I've bought too many perfumes the last 2 months, but I'm enjoying them... So that's what matters right! I particularly love that you're a nurse from Canada (like me☺️), So your references really work for me! I was wondering though where do you order your samples and decants from? I've wondered about some of the eBay ones I see but worry about getting duped, but also find some of the sample sites pretty expensive for less than a ml... Appreciate your thoughts advice on this! ❤️
Hey girlie!! 🥰I have most of these and love them!! I am a huge Bond no 9 fragrance lover and those 2 are gorgeous for sure!! Great choices. I’m glad you got them..😘
For love “Dont be Shy” thank you for letting me know about the reformation of formula. I own it and would recommend you try blending this scent with other ones. I like to mix it with more citrus heavy scents Or feminizing mor unisex or masculine scents. Give it a shot!
I buy my niche perfume from Europe and have them ship to me, save some money because they are not cheap. Love your collection. I will check out the CL Loubirouge. I like perfumes that the mass is NOT wearing.
I originally started with a decant of “Love don’t be shy” and after smelling it the first time I did not understand the hype. But I ended up taking it with me on a trip to Puerto Rico and threw it on one night that we went out and I ended up loving it and bought a bottle. It’s not my favorite out of my niche collection but I do really like it now.
Appreciate comments like this. I just blind bought it and it hasn’t arrived. So if I don’t love it right away, I’ll give it time. I hated BR540 at first because of the sweetness. Then I realised with age that quality perfumes need one, MAYBE two sprays max because the projection and quality is so much better.
What would you suggest for a woman who is "old fashion", always wears fragrances, even at home alone. I've always worn original parfum L'interdit, Habinita, Must de Must, Aromatics, to name just a few. On a lighter note, Calyx. The most 'contemporary' perfume I have worn is Angel or Bvlgari. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Hello Ilythia! I own Love from Killian since 3 years so it's the old formulation and believe me, it's not better. I don't understand the hype about this one. To me, it's smells like grape bubble gum. But this is just me 😊
I would love it if you did, or explained a more in depth description/comparison of Bond GV & Tribeca. I know I want one of those next and thought I'd get GV but now I'm undecided and would love to hear more about each and why Tribeca is higher on your list.
@@thesimplechiclife That would be great!! I never see them mentioned except for in 2 of your vids recently. Could be I'm missing others talk about them but I'd love your review!! I always overlook them when buying because I know so little about them.
I didn't even know love was Rihanna's scent but I smelled it and I personally love it and I feel it works well with my skin 😊. I love catching a wiff of myself when I wear it. Ordered a tester of the orchidee vanille by van cleef and arpelle and very curious about it😊. Also curious about the delina fragrance.
Just ordered LDBS without trying it first, glad you like it so I hope I do too. Delina original is beautiful and I think a nice summer/spring fragrance but could wear in winter. Exclusif and Rosee were not as nice. Rosee smells nice but it barely lasts so it is simply not worth the money. In my opinion, Delina is the only PDM fragrance that’s worth it. I ordered samples of all the women’s range and Darcy was the only other nice one, but lasting power wasn’t great.
I mainly wear Coco Chanel but I also wear Cartier dragon and Cartier panthere these are my three favorite I don't know how they're rated but I love them
Great video and nice list! I have 3 of them, going to buy 3, and about 7 are on a wishlist for later. Not too interested in Love don't be shy. Surprised you don't have Oud Satin Mood, it's so beautiful and sexy!
Omg I just got my hands on killians princess (blind bought it) and to me it smells so similar to aqualina pink sugar 🤣 this is so sweet! Would you say that princess is sweeter than love don’t be shy?
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. BR 540 and Delina are my 1 and 2 . I also used to love my Kilian love don’t be shy but not so much anymore. If you like vanilla, try Nishane Ani and tell what you think . Gorgeous Ginger Vanilla combo. 🥰
Killian love don’t be shy is nice but doesn’t last long😩I prefer Neroli blanc Intense Eau de Parfum by Au Pays de la Fleur d’Oranger ❤️they’re similar but it’s long lasting and the orange blossom note is Devine 😍
Delina Exclusif is divineeeee, I got it recently and it was the first fragrance that made me say wowwwwww I sprayed 1 spray on my hand and it lasted and ptojected all day. Amazing quality
Love your videos! Would love to see a video comparing MFK Gentle fluidity gold and Mancera Roses Vanille! I actually think they are super similar!!!! Love them both
@@iamannabeautiful right! I think it’s more noticeable on the dry down but I definitely get a similar vibe almost couldn’t tell the difference at one point after I sprayed!!!
Ooooh! So relatable. I thought it’s only me who is being weird about not accidentally associating scents to something. I get the most wear out of perfumes that I merely like because of the avoidance issue. 😅 I already have two favorites that’s now completely unwearable to me because of the bad memories.
That's me. Weirdly I was trying out love don't be shy while watching killing Eve all day for days. Now when I smell it I think villanelle smells that way. I can't smell red door because I wore it in a abusive relationship. My kids love it and it reminds them of childhood.
Is baccarat worth the hype? There’s so many clones that I’m just not sure it’s worth the money. Also if it smells anything like the clones, I’m not sure I understand what’s so special about it. The bottle is absolutely stunning though.
I will let others answer this:). I’ve tried many dupes as well as the other non-dupe fragrances that are said to be very similar and I do like the real thing, but didn’t like many of the dupes:)
To me nothing else smells like it I've tried all of the dupes.I own over 60 perfumes and it is the most complimented out of them all. It's hard to explain what it smells like but to me it smells expensive and classy.
Not worth the hype at all. I have 85 fragrances and it's my least worn Look into samples of Swiss Arabian Ghraam, Mancera Instant Crush and Amber Fever But in saying that, scent is all subjective age depends on whether you think it's worth it
I have so enjoyed watching your fragrance journey. We have ended up in the same place with our tastes, I think. I have learned that I prefer feminine scents, too. I went through a phase of trying it all and realized many unisex scents don’t feel like me. Same thing for extremely sweet ones. I eventually realized I like well balanced, classy feminine fragrances the best. I do still have a little bit of everything, though. You have quite a nice collection!
thank you so much Kristi!! That is honestly so kind of you to say and makes my evening :). yes it's funny how our fragrance tastes change over time. When I look back to my collection a year ago, compared to now, it's night and day.
Tomorrow is my last day of my current job & my work colleagues arranged a farewell dinner for me. I just don’t know what to wear as I have too many (30+ bottles). 😆 It’s summer here where I live. I’m thinking Viktor & Rolf Flower Bomb, Miss Dior EDP or Chloe Absolu EDP.
S Vogel, Flower Bomb, to me, is not special or I should say, unique enough, for this occasion. I'd go with one of the others! Would love to know what you chose!!
@@toniapedd I ended up wearing the Flowerbomb on the night. 😁 I totally agree with you that it’s not unique as when I first had in 2012. Thank you for your opinion though.
@@serene-being LOL OOps! I feel bad for saying that!!🤦♀️🙊 I hope you had a wonderful time!!! I do 💗 Flower Bomb!! Just not as much as others now... Still a great fragrance for special memories!!
Hi girl 🥰 you should absolutely try Leisure in Paradise if it’s available where you live. I blind bought it and I’m blown away! I normally don’t really like tropical notes but OMG
Same, I almost blind bought it so many times and when I got a sample I was really underwhelmed. I’m not sure why I expected something different especially when everyone described it as smelling like bubblegum which is exactly what it is.
J P that's how I feel as well. I've heard that it smells like juicy fruit gum. I'd rather just stick with my mancera velvet vanilla if it smells like bubblegum. Mancera projects and great longevity.
@@michellepatten7460 I do not think Kilian LDBS smells like bubblegum! It's way more complex and while wearing it you get quite a lot of different notes throughout the wear time. First sniff may be a bit on the bubble gummy side but it dries down to a beautifully complex, almost indescribable fragrance to me and I've heard others explain it the same way. Unfortunately I've heard the new formula is watered down and is underwhelming.😢.
Love love this. It would be interesting to see this with your designer collection but also your entire collection, id find it interesting if there is any designer that you prefer over niche. Then it wouldn't be about money ofc but just ranking your entire collection. I havent tried love by kilian but I have heard lately from a lot of people that it isnt that amazing, I am also more sensitive to sweet sugary smells so I dont think id like it at all, but Id love to smell it just to know what it smells like
I own “the night” by Dominique Ropion by editions of Frederick Malle. I was saving it for special occasions only, but then slowly realizing that I should wear it more often than just once a year. Hopefully I will be courageous enough to do so….
"This is not a fragrance to wear to the post office or grocery store..." Girl, you don't know me then. 😂😂😂 Because that's exactly what I do. I used to be someone who would categorize my perfumes (e.g. "dinner date" "black tie" "wedding" etc.) but life has taught me that every day should be celebrated because tomorrow is not a given to anyone. ♥
Wow! You have most of the niche perfumes I have. So maybe I should try some of the ones you have coz I feel like we might have the same nose on the scents! So I have the Bond No. 9 Greenwich, Perfum de Marly’s Delina, MFK Baccarat Rouge and Byredo Bal D’afrique. From the rest of the niche perfumes you showed here in this video, which one should I get next besides the ones I have? Thanks much!
I dont have the Kilian original Dont be shy but I adore the dupe Sweet Addict from Oakcha and am on my 2nd bottle. Its also a compliment getter and very special to me.
I recieved Vanilla 28 yesterday and I do not know why but it gave me an instant headache. Its the first fragrance I have had that gave me an instant headache like that. I ordered it from Sephora and the liquid is sooo dark that it almost looks like it has a dark purple hue to it.
I love perfumes on other people and your favorite is my favorite also. However they never last on me. And it's not a my nose thing neither my partner nor my kids can smell it on me after an hour.
Hi, one question about the Kilian love don't be shy: do you think it's sweeter than La Belle JPG? La belle is almost too creamy/thick for me, I do like it and wear it, but cannot spray too much. From the Kilian what would you suggest for a blind buy. Maybe princess? I like sweet, creamy, nuty, oriental perfums
Maisa Funck, My opinion on this would be that Kilian Love don't be shy is def sweet but not a thick, creamy sweet like JPG La Belle. Kilian is a more playful, uplifting gourmand where JPG is a more sensual gourmand. Very different scents to me. If I had to categorize them this way, I would say Kilian would be more daytime and JPG more nighttime. I also love Princess but I agree that any really expensive frags should be sampled before committing to a whole flanker. I get most of my niche frags from Scents Event where you can buy 2-10ml samples at a decent price, or an 8ml subscription plan is the best option for the price. They have 3 plans from designer to luxury and you can change plans anytime. Great place to sample as well as buy the flanker if you end up loving something.
I love your nose, hehe. We like a lot of the same scent profiles. Thank you so much for this video! This can be a very expensive hobby, so the more information before a purchase always the better!
I like that you said your anosmic to BR540! Very subtle way of describing the exact same observations that I highlighted in my review of this perfume on my channel!
I love videos like this as it shows how different perfumes work on different people, BR540 and Delina Exclusif would be on the bottom of my list as they just don’t anything for me, I find them so generic, particularly the PDM, it reminds me of an Estée Lauder perfume that would have been popular in the 1980s. I do love Bal D’Afrique and MFK Gentle Fluidity but I prefer APOM from the MFK line 😊
For sure:) these are my feelings on them. I know there are a lot of really popular perfumes that would never make my list. That being said all of them are good for me I enjoy all except maybe the love by Kilian:)
Yessss finally someone that feels the same as me! BR540 and Delina are overrated! The one in my opinion that should be receiving Praise from MFK is Oud Satin Mood 🥰 Every time I wear it someone is asking me what am I wearing and that I smell soo good! It’s not mass appealing but it is something special. Delina is as unattractive as her name. No disrespect to anyone named Delina but she isn’t for me 🤷🏾♀️ I love Bond No. 9 Greenwich Village and Tribeca, Yummy sexyness! 😍🥰😍
I actually don't find them to be that similar believe it or not. I've heard a few people say that though.:). Next time I sniff them I'll have to pay closer attention.
@@thesimplechiclife Thank you so much! That’s the only thing holding me back from getting it. I have Roses Vanille and don’t want to be redundant. I really appreciate your input😘
What a GREAT Video! So many amazing fragrances of personal interest to myself ... especially Bond No. 9 Greenwich Village, I’ve been eyeing it for awhile, curious about the silver atomizer on it, seems to me it should be gold ... I’m sure your tired of hearing that. Side note, I have all of Kayali except the citrus so that was also of interest to me. Just a really well-rounded dive into a beautiful niche collection! 💞 I’ve been thinking about that atomizer... can you say who you purchased GV through? 💞
I spoke directly to the house and they assured me there was nothing to worry about although admittedly a small part of me does wish it was gold lol.:) nonetheless it’s a beautiful fragrance:). I bought it directly from Bond 9.
if stored properly perfumes can last 10 years plus - I've even heard of perfumes lasting longer than that. I have only ever had one perfume go bad on me and it was 5 years old and had not been stored properly.
@@thesimplechiclife I actually find extrait to be sweeter less woody and have more almond, but also more ambergris. I’m guessing that’s what you found masculine? I really tend to like ambergris :)
Hello loves!:) disclaimer: of course these ratings are based on my own subjective opinions on the perfumes. Please do let me know what you think about these rankings. Would you put either of them higher or lower and why?? I’m especially curious to know your thoughts on Kilian Love! 😊
I love kilian love don't be shy, I love sweet ,gourmand, and marshmallow type of scent.
LOVE is one of my favorite but to each their own !! NICE video !!
But Rolling In Love is my all time favorite ❤

I wear my high end fragrances on the regular. They cost too much not to wear, so yeah, I’ll wear BR540 to go to Target.
Same! My sotd for grocery store was delina exclusif😎
I totally agree with you.
Agree!! Tomorrow is not a given.

I definitely need to do that - those are two fragrances that deserve a more thorough review for sure :)
@@thesimplechiclife That would be great!! I never see them mentioned except for in 2 of your vids recently. Could be I'm missing others talk about them but I'd love your review!! I always overlook them when buying because I know so little about them.
I love Delina so much. The best in my collection
I didn't even know love was Rihanna's scent but I smelled it and I personally love it and I feel it works well with my skin 😊. I love catching a wiff of myself when I wear it. Ordered a tester of the orchidee vanille by van cleef and arpelle and very curious about it😊. Also curious about the delina fragrance.
Just ordered LDBS without trying it first, glad you like it so I hope I do too. Delina original is beautiful and I think a nice summer/spring fragrance but could wear in winter. Exclusif and Rosee were not as nice. Rosee smells nice but it barely lasts so it is simply not worth the money. In my opinion, Delina is the only PDM fragrance that’s worth it. I ordered samples of all the women’s range and Darcy was the only other nice one, but lasting power wasn’t great.
I mainly wear Coco Chanel but I also wear Cartier dragon and Cartier panthere these are my three favorite I don't know how they're rated but I love them
Great video and nice list! I have 3 of them, going to buy 3, and about 7 are on a wishlist for later. Not too interested in Love don't be shy. Surprised you don't have Oud Satin Mood, it's so beautiful and sexy!
I can’t do that one unfortunately, not yet; it’s too heavy for me. I’m finding I can’t do a lot of ouds.
Omg I just got my hands on killians princess (blind bought it) and to me it smells so similar to aqualina pink sugar 🤣 this is so sweet! Would you say that princess is sweeter than love don’t be shy?
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. BR 540 and Delina are my 1 and 2 . I also used to love my Kilian love don’t be shy but not so much anymore.
If you like vanilla, try Nishane Ani and tell what you think . Gorgeous Ginger Vanilla combo. 🥰
Killian love don’t be shy is nice but doesn’t last long😩I prefer Neroli blanc Intense Eau de Parfum by Au Pays de la Fleur d’Oranger ❤️they’re similar but it’s long lasting and the orange blossom note is Devine 😍
The Montale Greedy sound similar to their Intense Cafe....which is also gorgeous...Coffee and🌹 Rose
Great video concept love this idea
I'd love to see you rank your niche scents Cheraye!! (it doesn't have to be 18 lol, I literally just grabbed all the ones I had haha! :)
Delina Exclusif is divineeeee, I got it recently and it was the first fragrance that made me say wowwwwww
I sprayed 1 spray on my hand and it lasted and ptojected all day. Amazing quality
Agreed!:)
I love Jazz Club. When I told the clerk at Sephora that I love it but I’d prefer it on a man, she seemed very shocked lol
Do not like Love by Killian, but love Delina, although I have the original. If I made a list of niche favs, Chanel No 22 would be #1
Greenwich, Tribeca, Delina *chefs kiss*
Love your videos! Would love to see a video comparing MFK Gentle fluidity gold and Mancera Roses Vanille! I actually think they are super similar!!!! Love them both
I have both and to me they are very similar
I don’t have Roses Vanille but you gave me the idea to layer Roses Musk with Gentle Fluidity Gold to get the vibe so thank you :)
@@aquababy5 I have Roses musk, I'm going to experiment and try to this out
It’s funny I’ve never made that comparison before myself, I find them to smell very different!!:) 💗
@@iamannabeautiful right! I think it’s more noticeable on the dry down but I definitely get a similar vibe almost couldn’t tell the difference at one point after I sprayed!!!
I wasn't super impressed by Love by Kilian, it's comforting and nice but not the "pow!" I want for the price. Didn't buy a full bottle.
i'm glad it wasn't just me.
Ooooh! So relatable. I thought it’s only me who is being weird about not accidentally associating scents to something. I get the most wear out of perfumes that I merely like because of the avoidance issue. 😅 I already have two favorites that’s now completely unwearable to me because of the bad memories.
That's me. Weirdly I was trying out love don't be shy while watching killing Eve all day for days. Now when I smell it I think villanelle smells that way. I can't smell red door because I wore it in a abusive relationship. My kids love it and it reminds them of childhood.
Is baccarat worth the hype? There’s so many clones that I’m just not sure it’s worth the money. Also if it smells anything like the clones, I’m not sure I understand what’s so special about it. The bottle is absolutely stunning though.
I will let others answer this:). I’ve tried many dupes as well as the other non-dupe fragrances that are said to be very similar and I do like the real thing, but didn’t like many of the dupes:)
To me nothing else smells like it I've tried all of the dupes.I own over 60 perfumes and it is the most complimented out of them all. It's hard to explain what it smells like but to me it smells expensive and classy.
Not worth the hype at all. I have 85 fragrances and it's my least worn
Look into samples of Swiss Arabian Ghraam, Mancera Instant Crush and Amber Fever
But in saying that, scent is all subjective age depends on whether you think it's worth it
I say order samples from the MFK site. 4 for 14 euros is not bad compared to a blind buy.
No dupes can compare to the real thing trust me.
I have so enjoyed watching your fragrance journey. We have ended up in the same place with our tastes, I think. I have learned that I prefer feminine scents, too. I went through a phase of trying it all and realized many unisex scents don’t feel like me. Same thing for extremely sweet ones. I eventually realized I like well balanced, classy feminine fragrances the best. I do still have a little bit of everything, though. You have quite a nice collection!
thank you so much Kristi!! That is honestly so kind of you to say and makes my evening :). yes it's funny how our fragrance tastes change over time. When I look back to my collection a year ago, compared to now, it's night and day.
Tomorrow is my last day of my current job & my work colleagues arranged a farewell dinner for me. I just don’t know what to wear as I have too many (30+ bottles). 😆 It’s summer here where I live. I’m thinking Viktor & Rolf Flower Bomb, Miss Dior EDP or Chloe Absolu EDP.
Go nuts, hun, put them all on!!! You might burn their eyes out but you’ll smell frickin’ gorgeous! 😁
S Vogel, Flower Bomb, to me, is not special or I should say, unique enough, for this occasion. I'd go with one of the others! Would love to know what you chose!!
@@toniapedd I ended up wearing the Flowerbomb on the night. 😁
I totally agree with you that it’s not unique as when I first had in 2012. Thank you for your opinion though.
@@serene-being LOL OOps! I feel bad for saying that!!🤦♀️🙊 I hope you had a wonderful time!!! I do 💗 Flower Bomb!! Just not as much as others now... Still a great fragrance for special memories!!
@@toniapedd I’m dining out to the top restaurant with some friends tonight. I’m thinking to wear Miss Dior EDP. Lol 😂
Hi girl 🥰 you should absolutely try Leisure in Paradise if it’s available where you live. I blind bought it and I’m blown away! I normally don’t really like tropical notes but OMG
Love the video! I completely agree with you on Killian love don't be shy!
Thanks Lindsey!:) I’m glad I’m not the only one!:)
Same, I almost blind bought it so many times and when I got a sample I was really underwhelmed. I’m not sure why I expected something different especially when everyone described it as smelling like bubblegum which is exactly what it is.
J P that's how I feel as well. I've heard that it smells like juicy fruit gum. I'd rather just stick with my mancera velvet vanilla if it smells like bubblegum. Mancera projects and great longevity.
I blind bought it and it's wayyyyy overhyped. I'll wear it but I will not repurchase
@@michellepatten7460 I do not think Kilian LDBS smells like bubblegum! It's way more complex and while wearing it you get quite a lot of different notes throughout the wear time. First sniff may be a bit on the bubble gummy side but it dries down to a beautifully complex, almost indescribable fragrance to me and I've heard others explain it the same way. Unfortunately I've heard the new formula is watered down and is underwhelming.😢.
The Bond No9 Tribeca sounds like my thing, but I really don't like how the bottle looks. Other than that, thanks for the reviews!
You wouldn't buy a perfume because you don't like the bottle? That's a new one
@@patricenagel9442 haha I actually ordered samples during the last year. Very nice, but there's something j don't like in the notes.
@@evil.Cupcake hi there! Can you tell me how you ordered samples. I really dont want to blind buy more expensive perfume 😩.
@@patricenagel9442 Bond 9 bottles are HIDEOUS look like something a 5 yr old would like. It was a terrible choice for VERY PRICEY fragrance.
Tribeca and Greenwich are top tier.
I own Greenwich village I love the smell but feels projection is not strong for my liking. Is TriBeCa better in projection/performance?
My first Niche fragrance will definitely be Baccarat Rouge 540!!!
Love love this. It would be interesting to see this with your designer collection but also your entire collection, id find it interesting if there is any designer that you prefer over niche. Then it wouldn't be about money ofc but just ranking your entire collection.
I havent tried love by kilian but I have heard lately from a lot of people that it isnt that amazing, I am also more sensitive to sweet sugary smells so I dont think id like it at all, but Id love to smell it just to know what it smells like
I guess that would fall under a top ten overall maybe? Or top 20? I can definitely do this in the future. :)
@@thesimplechiclife Top 20! Top 10 is also good, so whatever you prefer :)
I own “the night” by Dominique Ropion by editions of Frederick Malle. I was saving it for special occasions only, but then slowly realizing that I should wear it more often than just once a year. Hopefully I will be courageous enough to do so….
Yesssssss Delina is absolutely gorgeous 💖 😍
Agreed!!!
"This is not a fragrance to wear to the post office or grocery store..." Girl, you don't know me then. 😂😂😂 Because that's exactly what I do. I used to be someone who would categorize my perfumes (e.g. "dinner date" "black tie" "wedding" etc.) but life has taught me that every day should be celebrated because tomorrow is not a given to anyone. ♥
Wow! You have most of the niche perfumes I have. So maybe I should try some of the ones you have coz I feel like we might have the same nose on the scents! So I have the Bond No. 9 Greenwich, Perfum de Marly’s Delina, MFK Baccarat Rouge and Byredo Bal D’afrique. From the rest of the niche perfumes you showed here in this video, which one should I get next besides the ones I have? Thanks much!
But those are the same ones EVERYONE has 😂
Have you tried Nishane Ani?
I dont have the Kilian original Dont be shy but I adore the dupe Sweet Addict from Oakcha and am on my 2nd bottle. Its also a compliment getter and very special to me.
I recieved Vanilla 28 yesterday and I do not know why but it gave me an instant headache. Its the first fragrance I have had that gave me an instant headache like that. I ordered it from Sephora and the liquid is sooo dark that it almost looks like it has a dark purple hue to it.
I love perfumes on other people and your favorite is my favorite also. However they never last on me. And it's not a my nose thing neither my partner nor my kids can smell it on me after an hour.
Love the Bond#9 tribeca is my favorite so far
Hi, one question about the Kilian love don't be shy: do you think it's sweeter than La Belle JPG?
La belle is almost too creamy/thick for me, I do like it and wear it, but cannot spray too much.
From the Kilian what would you suggest for a blind buy. Maybe princess?
I like sweet, creamy, nuty, oriental perfums
Maisa Funck, My opinion on this would be that Kilian Love don't be shy is def sweet but not a thick, creamy sweet like JPG La Belle. Kilian is a more playful, uplifting gourmand where JPG is a more sensual gourmand. Very different scents to me. If I had to categorize them this way, I would say Kilian would be more daytime and JPG more nighttime. I also love Princess but I agree that any really expensive frags should be sampled before committing to a whole flanker. I get most of my niche frags from Scents Event where you can buy 2-10ml samples at a decent price, or an 8ml subscription plan is the best option for the price. They have 3 plans from designer to luxury and you can change plans anytime. Great place to sample as well as buy the flanker if you end up loving something.
Hi,What is your favorite
Tribeca greenwith village ?
I love your nose, hehe. We like a lot of the same scent profiles. Thank you so much for this video! This can be a very expensive hobby, so the more information before a purchase always the better!
I love Delina but i DONT like the wscussif it’s too powdery for me, popurrí smelling like. Delina is my favorite
I like that you said your anosmic to BR540! Very subtle way of describing the exact same observations that I highlighted in my review of this perfume on my channel!
FYI Maison Margiela Jazz Club is technically not a a niche fragrance. It is a designer fragrance.
I love videos like this as it shows how different perfumes work on different people, BR540 and Delina Exclusif would be on the bottom of my list as they just don’t anything for me, I find them so generic, particularly the PDM, it reminds me of an Estée Lauder perfume that would have been popular in the 1980s. I do love Bal D’Afrique and MFK Gentle Fluidity but I prefer APOM from the MFK line 😊
For sure:) these are my feelings on them. I know there are a lot of really popular perfumes that would never make my list. That being said all of them are good for me I enjoy all except maybe the love by Kilian:)
Yessss finally someone that feels the same as me! BR540 and Delina are overrated! The one in my opinion that should be receiving Praise from MFK is Oud Satin Mood 🥰 Every time I wear it someone is asking me what am I wearing and that I smell soo good! It’s not mass appealing but it is something special. Delina is as unattractive as her name. No disrespect to anyone named Delina but she isn’t for me 🤷🏾♀️ I love Bond No. 9 Greenwich Village and Tribeca, Yummy sexyness! 😍🥰😍
Hi. Just wondering where you purchased the Bond perfume? I’m not sure if it can be shipped to Canada. I live in BC.
OMG, I feel the same way about my baccarat 540. For some reason I try and preserve it. 🤷🏽
I think you should 100% call that Christian Louboutin a “niche”. I tend to say if something is niche or not based on if I could go to Macys to buy it.
I love Delina exclusif too!! ☺️
Do you have other be layered fragrances that you will post on poshmark?
Do you feel Gentle fluidity Gold is similar to Roses Vanille? Are they different enough to own both in your opinion?
I actually don't find them to be that similar believe it or not. I've heard a few people say that though.:). Next time I sniff them I'll have to pay closer attention.
@@thesimplechiclife Thank you so much! That’s the only thing holding me back from getting it. I have Roses Vanille and don’t want to be redundant. I really appreciate your input😘
I need to get a sample of the Kay Ali. I conquer with you regarding Love don't be shy.
Love your collection! I have some of the same in my collection 😍
im actually surprised and happy to see LDBS so low LOL. to me it’s not worth that price tag !
I think the mancera rose vanille smells like bad body odor. No rose or vanilla
Have you tried Gucci ‘A chant for the nymph’? I want to buy it but I hardly see reviews and I’m scared I won’t like it 😣
I haven’t !!!
What a GREAT Video! So many amazing fragrances of personal interest to myself ... especially Bond No. 9 Greenwich Village, I’ve been eyeing it for awhile, curious about the silver atomizer on it, seems to me it should be gold ... I’m sure your tired of hearing that. Side note, I have all of Kayali except the citrus so that was also of interest to me. Just a really well-rounded dive into a beautiful niche collection! 💞
I’ve been thinking about that atomizer... can you say who you purchased GV through? 💞
I spoke directly to the house and they assured me there was nothing to worry about although admittedly a small part of me does wish it was gold lol.:) nonetheless it’s a beautiful fragrance:). I bought it directly from Bond 9.
Any thoughts on Delina La Rosee?
I haven’t smelled that one yet unfortunately! Perhaps one day but I don’t want to blind buy a whole bottle:)
Kayali is the best
How long is the shelf life for any of the perfumes???
if stored properly perfumes can last 10 years plus - I've even heard of perfumes lasting longer than that. I have only ever had one perfume go bad on me and it was 5 years old and had not been stored properly.
Kayali is niche? It’s made by the makeup brand Huda beauty.
Watching your chanel help me to save a lot of money ❤
Do you include where to get them?
I’m sorry I did not in this video but I will in the future:)
I think I payed less than 250,00 in my NY n 9 at fragrancenet
That’s an amazing deal!:) I prefer buying directly from the house sometimes depending.
Why did I think you had Rouge extract vs regular?
Initially I had blind purchased that one and ended up gifting it to my partner because I found it to be too masculine.
@@thesimplechiclife I actually find extrait to be sweeter less woody and have more almond, but also more ambergris. I’m guessing that’s what you found masculine? I really tend to like ambergris :)
