ngl i was really expecting them to be more gourmand smelling but gotta say i’m pleasantly surprised they’re not!! recent releases have felt so gourmand-y to me, so looking forward to smelling this, loved ur review!!
sighhh, i blind bought Blooming Fire and it wasn't a fav. When I went in store to exchange for a new perfume, I smelt window2soul (didn't bother with the other one) and sadly I didn't enjoy it either. Its saddening for me because the formula is AMAZINGG!! I'm a skincare girl and the way it made my skin feel so soft, it was insane to me. Hopefully they'll come out with a more sweeter vanilla or just sweeter scents in general. I feel like its for much older women compared to young adults.
Hum...I admit I initially dismissed these perfumes as a cheap celebrity cash grab, but now I think I might want to get my nose on Blooming Fire. I like Mugler's Alien, so that's a positive association for me.
I’m obsessed with Blooming Fire and Salted Muse. I’m really impressed with her formulas. ❤ They don’t smell “perfumey” to me, just like pure nature itself. I like Aqua de Gioia and Sol de Janeiro 59 for warm weather scents, but wanted something a little more nature-smelling. I blind-bought them, took a chance, and for me it paid off 1000%. Blooming Fire is like a combo of tropical+breezy spring, and salted muse is like island living. It’s like the ocean plus all the wetlands and plant growth nearby. Really transports you.
Salted muse is what got me into perfumes 💀 its what got me to want to try more perfumes and how i found your channel i absolutely love it! I already trusted your reviews but this video cemented my trust as we had very similar opinions on them, from salted muse smelling like a masculine perfume (idc i still love it it smells like how a cold glass cucumber water taste in the summer) window 2 soul having an unpleasant first spritz (but when it dries down it smells great and it has gotten me alot of compliments) and even the same notes for blooming fire although i didnt end up buying that one. I didnt even know bella had them made for sensitive skin so thats a + and ive noticed that its one of the few perfumes that dont leave a dark spot on clothes if i spray it on them. they also last a long time i need to wear a specific uniform for work and couldnt tell witch one of my shirts i had already worn until i smelled them and dalted muse was still going strong days later
I really liked them but didn’t immediately love them, and am also obsessed with the oil based formula. I agree I think they are really pretty and interesting. also I was excited for you to review these in particular bc I have been beyond frustrated with the floral=old lady association/ am tired of people only appreciating ultra sweet candy like scents. I’m gen z and just want to be able to wear some florals without being concerned about people having that association
i tested all of them at ulta last week and fell in LOVE with salted muse, which is interesting because i really dislike santal 33, honestly it feels like a more wearable woody "squid" by zoologist which i also love. it is pretty unisex to me and i cannot get over the beautiful bottle and nourishing formula. i have pretty sensitive eczema that get triggered by most of my more alcoholic fragrances and this did not break me out (everyone's eczema is different) which is really nice to not have to worry about!
People saying Blooming Fire smells old are probably old. No hate. I’m the age that was wearing all those 90’s perfumes. I’d think it smelled old too. Now interested in smelling the Salted Muse.
I’m 36 , and i don’t think it smells old . I do get a sort of 2000s vibe though, kind of reminds me of Jadore . But I also detect a mix of margiela beach walk and Gucci bloom which both came out in 2010s .
Salted muse reminds me of one of the Aesop perfumes! I can’t remember which one rn but overall the same vibe for a cheaper price point. Overall I like how her scents are quite natural vs super synthetic and the formula feels nice on the skin though I wish she had one more in the lineup that had a different scent profile (maybe less white floral)
So glad I smelled window2soul without knowing any notes. I stay away from rose and definitely stay away from mint , but I loved it and I bought it along with blooming fire . I hate patchouli too!!! So damn , girl did the damn thing , these smell lovely natural and atypical. I didn’t get to smell muse tho :( somebody stole the tester and my Ulta’s never replaces them
I tested all of these and ended up buying Blooming Fire because it smells so good. I layer it with Ouai St. Barts body lotion and it smells so tropical! I absolutely love it.
I would like to know if you have tried Santal Basmati it’s a sandalwood rice perfume 🥹 I think you would like it!!!! Please make a video about rice accord in perfumes 🙏🏻💗
I was gifted windows2soul and i cannot with that scent. It’s not terrible it smells like something i would use as a hand sanitizer given that it has a natural scent. It’s more like i was playing house and concocting different type of essential diffusers and add tons of water in it and few drops of oil and add shimmer lol. Don’t hate me i probably butchered that but there’s so many perfumes out there that has natural ingredients and smells better imho
could you do an in-depth review/tier list/just something about parfums de marly? i know you have a few on your tiktok but i love hearing you talk and i’d love whole video on all the fem scents :)
Just found you today and subbed ❤ I could hear that you were a fellow Canadian in a minute ahaha I bought blooming fire at launch and loooooove it, I’m a big florals girl!! You’re so right about the feel of it on your skin, so smooth and delicate !!
Not related but does leaving a perfume in the heat for a couple of hours damage it? Like to the point of having a noticeable effect on the smell? Or does it need to be constantly stored in the heat for it to have any damage? If so what’s the “time limit”? I live in a very hot climate and I’m always afraid to bring perfume with me because I tend to keep it in the car, please I need an answer!!! 😭😭❤️
Hmm yeah you’re not supposed to keep it in the car if possible, surprisingly heat fluctuation is worse than actually keeping it somewhere hot 100% of the time!
Leaving in a car is not great . The greenhouse effect from gas increases temp a lot more than people think . But a few hours one time is gonna be ok . My apartment gets really hot too , so I recently made a cover for my perfume tray out of cardboard . Basically just an upside down box to keep them out of sunlight while I’m not home . Protecting from prolonged direct light is more important than heat . I know a lot of people put them in cabinets but I really needed another solution because I wanna look at my tray all day it’s too pretty . Perfumerism is right though , fluctuating temp from really cold to really hot is bad too , so no refrigeration!
I tested the Orebella perfumes at Ulta and my favorite was Blooming Fire. After about 2 minutes of sniffing it I realized that I already have this scent, well I have 100m vintage Alien, 30ml 2019 Alien, and 60ml Alien Fusion… (not to mention, Alien Essence Absolue which actually smells more like VR Good Fortune Elixir). I do think Orebella is warmer and more tropical. I think this is a sign to bust out my Alien bottles. I might even get a travel size of Orebella to compare. Alien is not an “old lady” scent, lol, but she is very avante-grade, very gothic. Alien is very loud, otherworldly, very floral, but a strange floral. She’s wearing all black, crushed velvet, listening to the Cure, or Depeche Mode. I can understand younger people not liking mature scents, but I think the issue is more that the scents are maybe too much for daily wear. People might complain at work. That’s why I go for fruity florals and crowd-pleasing scents.
Love working at ulta and using these reviews to help guests
Hahaha glad i could be of help❤
no literally me too

Same - kinda can’t get Salted Muse out of my mind… would only buy the 10ml if anything though.
Hum...I admit I initially dismissed these perfumes as a cheap celebrity cash grab, but now I think I might want to get my nose on Blooming Fire. I like Mugler's Alien, so that's a positive association for me.
After a few hours on my skin, blooming fire smells so much like how alien does once you get past the top notes!
Been looking for a photorealistic briny ocean perfume… naught have to give salted muse a try!
As a hard core universal Orlando fan when u said Shrek 4d I def got flashbacks lol. 😂
YESSS haha
please review jo malone frangipani
I am not planning on reviewing the limited edition Jo malone releases, my apologies! It’s too hard to keep up with haha
Oh no, do they all have olive oil? I’m deadly allergic :(
You’ll have to read the ingredients!

Yes ugh it’s so annoying!!
I clicked so fast when I saw this because I’ve been waiting for the full review 😂 love your videos!!
So happy to hear that! Thank you for the kind comment❤

Salted muse got me into perfumes its such an interesting scent but i love it
The bottles look like dragon scales from dragon tales 😂😂. The blooming fire one smelled to similar to Alien goddess intense.
LMAOO this is so real
I look forward to watching your channel grow 🥰
Aw thank you!!!❤ i hope it does!
Salted Muse is IT for me! I’m so glad I tried it!!! I bought the 3.4 oz!
I was surprised that Window2Soul was my favorite! I expected to like Salted Muse more but am glad I didn’t blind buy 😊
You actually don't need the stand. You can stand the large bottle up on its flat edge 😊
The 1.7 oz are kind of annoying. I really do like the way they look and feel in the hand , but they take up so much space on my tray lol
Omg I feel like ur channel is the only one I'm early to. So excited for this vid
Aww thank you so much! Happy to have you here:)

Update:
Went and smelled them today.
OLD LADY!!!
So you hastily commented and made a generalization only to realize the scent actually does smell like an old lady? Interesting.
Salted muse reminds me of one of the Aesop perfumes! I can’t remember which one rn but overall the same vibe for a cheaper price point. Overall I like how her scents are quite natural vs super synthetic and the formula feels nice on the skin though I wish she had one more in the lineup that had a different scent profile (maybe less white floral)
Salted Muse sounds like I'd really like it, but it's not available anywhere in Europe.
How do u make being splashed by shrek swamp water sound chic lmao
Wow I love the blue ... something? ... around your eyes! Sorry but I lack the necessary makeup vocab.
Thanks!! It’s eyeliner :)
Salted Muse is wonderful.
So glad I smelled window2soul without knowing any notes. I stay away from rose and definitely stay away from mint , but I loved it and I bought it along with blooming fire . I hate patchouli too!!! So damn , girl did the damn thing , these smell lovely natural and atypical. I didn’t get to smell muse tho :( somebody stole the tester and my Ulta’s never replaces them
Can we just take a sec and appreciate the make up tho😍
thank u!!!
I tested all of these and ended up buying Blooming Fire because it smells so good. I layer it with Ouai St. Barts body lotion and it smells so tropical! I absolutely love it.
Blooming fire smells similar to Angel Elixir to me. I really enjoyed that one!
Based on notes I thought I would like blooming fire but after smelling them I like salted muse the most. Still didn’t buy any though.
The way you so casually and calmly slipped in that it smells a little like feet made me giggle 😂
I would like to know if you have tried Santal Basmati it’s a sandalwood rice perfume 🥹 I think you would like it!!!! Please make a video about rice accord in perfumes 🙏🏻💗
Yes!! I have a sample of this somewhere I will try it again?
Salted Muse smelt like a fish eating a pickle to me 😢
LMAO
Oh hell no lol … that’s the only one I didn’t get to try and I feel like I was missin out. You make me think maybe not 🌊
I was gifted windows2soul and i cannot with that scent. It’s not terrible it smells like something i would use as a hand sanitizer given that it has a natural scent. It’s more like i was playing house and concocting different type of essential diffusers and add tons of water in it and few drops of oil and add shimmer lol. Don’t hate me i probably butchered that but there’s so many perfumes out there that has natural ingredients and smells better imho
😊
Can you share any dupes or similar fragrances to window2soul and salted muse? I like both but they don’t last on my skin
Thank you for this video. I reviewed these on my channel too. 💖
could you do an in-depth review/tier list/just something about parfums de marly? i know you have a few on your tiktok but i love hearing you talk and i’d love whole video on all the fem scents :)
Not the deep nature fragrance being compared to an amusement park that splashes mystery water at you 😂
great review as usual.❤
I just dont feel so comfortable with this Sinti aesthetic
Is it basil or more mint?
Good question
I didn’t smell mint at all tbh . I purchased after trying out in store and I hate mint usually
I was waiting for your review, thank you! I’m very intrigued even though I live in Europe and can’t get them over here lol
I hope they expand soon!
Just found you today and subbed ❤ I could hear that you were a fellow Canadian in a minute ahaha I bought blooming fire at launch and loooooove it, I’m a big florals girl!! You’re so right about the feel of it on your skin, so smooth and delicate !!
welcome to my channel! so happy to find my fellow canadians:) the formula is amazing!
@@perfumerism yay thank you 🫶🏼🫶🏼 looking forward to watching all your vids!!

Hmm yeah you’re not supposed to keep it in the car if possible, surprisingly heat fluctuation is worse than actually keeping it somewhere hot 100% of the time!
Also UV is not good for your perfume
@@perfumerism Thanks!! ❤️ I don’t see this discussed anywhere so you helped me a lot, guess no keeping it the car for respraying 😪

i feel like im the only person who likes window2soul out of all of them
I think it’s the most popular!
Emma it’s 2024!
Did I say 2023?
Please please please make a safe blind buy video, I trust your judgment
I appreciate how articulate you are !
No to them all.
I tested the Orebella perfumes at Ulta and my favorite was Blooming Fire.

I do think Orebella is warmer and more tropical. I think this is a sign to bust out my Alien bottles. I might even get a travel size of Orebella to compare.
Alien is not an “old lady” scent, lol, but she is very avante-grade, very gothic. Alien is very loud, otherworldly, very floral, but a strange floral. She’s wearing all black, crushed velvet, listening to the Cure, or Depeche Mode. I can understand younger people not liking mature scents, but I think the issue is more that the scents are maybe too much for daily wear. People might complain at work. That’s why I go for fruity florals and crowd-pleasing scents.
I love alien, especially after a few hours of wear. I think blooming fire smells almost identical to alien on me after a few hours
I smelled all 3 at ulta and didn't like any of them. They all smelled too floral for me, but then again I'm a gourmand lover. 😅
I hated all 3 of them just smelled like soap
