    I was WAITING for part 2 - & let me tell you, it did not disappoint! I feel like these days creators are constantly giving false reviews for the benefit of PR or more social media reach. You are one of the only creators I've come across that actually gives an honest & genuine approach to reviews. Your excitement and pure joy is contagious and I hope you know that you've made a lot of people's Monday's start off awesome! I look forward to your uploads & I'm excited to see more! Thank you for such a wonderfully created video & thank you for your honesty!

      Listen Miss Ally! If you continue to gas me up like this we will have to become best friends 😆 I reallyyyy appreciate your comment, you have no idea! I truly enjoy creating but I know that my style is a little ✨unpolished✨ which isn't for everyone (or every brand)! I actually started taking RUclips more serious after feeling like IG was getting a little TOO aesthetic focused so it feels good to be here and actually resonate with people! Thank you so much for watching & engaging 💕

    I just received my first order. I got Torrid Day (Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille) which I love so much and Italian Cello (Xerjoff Cass Lira) and I love that one as well. I still smelled both on my clothes the day after. When I first sprayed Italian Cello it had a yuck factor that I don’t know how to explain but within 5 minutes it started to smell so yummy in a mature way. Torrid Day has its own heavenly smell. A tip I learned is to make sure you use an unscented lotion before applying perfume and it helps with longevity. Scent won’t last as long in dry skin. Needless to say, I am in love and will be wearing both of these all winter.

I saw the girl's video talking about the lack of bad reviews on Oakcha, but i really didn't see that on the website. Most of the fragrances I clicked on had both good and bad reviews. Maybe they changed something 🤷‍♀️ anyways, I'm excited to get my sample set!

    I got the Italian cello based on your review and I LOVE it. I also love sweet addict and secret duchess.
    I have Killians love don’t be shy and Dalina Oriana. as well as ciao the dude for love don’t be shy and I love them all
    I eventually hope to get creed Carmina.
    I also love liquid imagers Blanche bete.
    I would like to try Killian Sunkissed as well.
    Miss girl was nice but I won’t get it again.
    To me the miss girl smells more like lost cherry than 540.
    Yes, that color is so juicy and pretty.
    I also agree with your review. Very articulate and accurate.

      Do you want to know something interesting? I tried Miss Girl again. Very tart cherry on the skin. I sprayed it on while I was standing in my closet. The next day, my closet smelled exactly like 540! So crazy that it gives cherry on the skin and 540 in the air lol. I’m going to check out the others that you mentioned!

    Smelling synthetic - means there’s a stank mixed in with the original smell .. whereas the original smell has a good fresh yummy smell to it.. Sweet Addict to me has a stank to it and I describe it as a dusty smell and almost like a perfume from Walmart .. but to each their own.. my fave is Senora it’s a soapy turn on the Chanel Coco Mademoiselle.. ❤

      I have Lira and it’s just so addictive and different - I will buy the Oakcha version and compare directly between the two. If it is similar enough but not perfect could use the Oakcha to extend (I sometimes put unscented lotion in my hand and then spray perfume in that and apply on legs.

    Try Dua Fragrances Princeless princess.... 10/10 highly recommend and I think you'll like that one better. The opening might not be the same but after a few minutes of letting it air out it smells the same. It also costs a little more than oakcha but in my opinion it's a better dupe.

I loved the tobacco vanille dupe, sorcery, and athena. Sweven was ok, ruhe was ok too. I want to try a few more scents. I tried dossier first and was not impressed. Oakcha is better quality.

I keep seeing that it is a you g scent and I am 48 but I really like sweet perfumes, anything coconut, sugary, vanilla scents. I guess I'm young at heart not in years😂😂 anyway do these perfumes last?

    It’s weird because Praise on me doesn’t have a strawberry note at all which was the reason why I purchased it. It comes off more of a caramel/chocolate smell on me. Even in the beginning. So so weird. A lil disappointed. Hopefully it will grow on me. I ended up giving Sweet Addict to my mom because it did smelled very fake on me. I didn’t smell any marshmallow. I am still trying out Miss Girl. I think the only issue I have with all of these is that they weren’t as long lasting as everyone was claiming. I might not repurchase any of these. So I am trying to use them as much as I can so I don’t get stuck with them. Praying that maybe using them up that they win me over…
