This is very much worth a quick review. I'm noticing several of these frags out there for a song. Love going back to these reviews prior to purchasing. Purchase regret PC Nouf (Rave Blk better smelling), Afnan Faten Maroon (stinks), Qissa Pink (redundant), Carmel Cascade (hype), and Afnan Historic Doria (bottle romance). There's my confession 😢
Dear Cee, Good friends tell you the hard truth and the hard truth is, consumers need to know what not to buy to avoid disappointment. It seems we are being encouraged to get every new bottle without much effort into its contents. So….reviewers become even more pressured to help. Thank you for the caution regarding redundancy, poorly mixed scents and paying for packaging. It’s unfortunate, but saves everyone but yourself. Thank goodness there are still gems to be sifted from all of this, and fantastic perfumes that do not cost the top of the range. And thank you, for helping us find them. Here, it is blind buying, online purchasing or nothing. Wishing you a great day.🌷🌸🌷
Indeed and by the way, @CeeChronicles-Talking even if it's not middle Easter but oriental, "black opium red" the new flanker, is "la nuit trésor + vanilla vibration from Zara". And then, you have this comforting woody middle Eastern vibe... I have two of them and I could compare.
My people, sell sell sell! I've tried to make fragrances work for me and they just don't, I've gotten over trying. Haven't repurchased anything that I've given away or sold. It feels good to get rid of them.
Decluttering is painful, no doubt. A local frag group in my area collaborated with a local abused women and children shelter at Christmas time and brought in our collective donations, and the ladies and teens picked their own frags. OMG guys, the joy, the happy faces, I'll never forget 😊 The group has decided to donate again next year. Cee, I totally get the repeat DNA! 😅 one thing I don't want to smell like is a fumigated construction foundation 😅😅😅 I really like the information here. Thank you, Cee ❤ My biggest disappointment frag was Sawalef Kohl Al Ayoun (WARNING) civet forward, Velvet Rose (weak juice), Rave Red (herbal yuck), Maison Alhambre Prescious Gold (bad dupe).
Cee, I've been exploring alternative eastern houses. Less known in my area, better price, great performance, and even the beautiful packaging for the bottle collectors out there. I've been so happy with most of my purchases. Lattafa has been so hyped that, honestly, they're no longer that affordable. I'm always looking for traditional historically correct DNAs, I love Attars and oils, something not run of-the-mill. I love the history of perfumery, the art of perfumery, and the various cultural traditions involved.
👋🏽😊 I gave Confidential Gold away. It didn't make me sick like My Way, so I was able to let it sit on my skin. The dry down was actually nice to me .but the opening is what I couldn't understand. 🤢🤮 But I think you summed it up very well. 😂😂😂😂 thanks for the laughs. Enjoy your weekend.
I bought the Raw Human and I’m still pondering on it. I got caught out there with the notes. The alternative you’re suggesting I’m going to look for. I’ll be the first to admit I need to hold the line with Lattafa and wait on you for your suggestions.
Thank you Cee! I have also regrets…Lattafa Velvet Rose, Paris Corner Rifaaqat(just burnt wood) and also Frenetic Delicieuse, it is blended well I just don’t like it. Smells like lavender baby powder soap to me. I might try to sell them on Mercari to recoup a little money for new ones.
OMG yes !! That's rifaaquat smells like gasoline to me!! I don't get why people like it. I got it about 3 weeks ago is still in the box I'm trying to let it sit and I'm hoping that it gets better with age I want to like it but it doesn't look like I am.
We have all been there im sure. Bottles i like but dont want to wesr i use generously as room & bedding spray. You can wet cotton balls then put in baggies in your car but punch a small hole in so it lasts, same with clothing drawers. Just a thought ❤
As someone who’s just getting into Middle Eastern perfumes and wants to have a collection, this video was helpful. Some of these perfumes are not cheap and if you know before hand what vibe they give, it will help us not waste money and just go with something else. Thank you Cee
😍👋🏽💖👍🏾Happy Friday 😊 I think every collector has regret purchases. Armani My way. I bought it right after recovering from covid.I gave to my daughter. I had the nerve to spray it on my arm about a month ago. Instant dizziness, nausea. I had to scrub my arm. I do not like Cloud,it smells musty to me. I don't like Baccarat. I don't like Hypnotic Poison and several Middle Eastern fragrances that I gave away as well. Like another lady in your comment section said.Confidential gold, that red velvety bottle, and the colorful bottle with the big wooden top.those two smell alike to me. Rotten fruit.😂😂 I can continue but its to much lol. Enjoy your weekend young lady.❤ You are a PRO at this. I pray your channels grow very large. You deserve it.🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you. It’s disappointing when a perfume has some annoying thing to it because you cannot force yourself to wear it. You just have to give it away, throw it away or use it in the bathroom. It’s so annoying 🥰
My blind buy regrets are: 1) Ragbah Wood intense (smells like saliva) 2) Ragbah (Smells like saliva) 3) Wafa by Ard Al Zaafaran (smells like raw spices and green grass) 4) Armaf Club de nuit intense woman (smells like a granny with intense body odour) 5) Sakeena by Lataffa (smells like rotten fruits)
😂 that's too bad I'm sorry you feel that way. I have three of those fragrances and I love them but Middle Eastern perfumes as well as western, are very taste specific 😊
Heyyy my beloved sista,,, now you already know I have a major fragrance regret and it’s the confidential gold fragrance 😮💨😮💨 to me it smelled like a skunk that was ran over by a sewer truck and the juices from the truck and the skunk mixed in the air and somebody was standing there with a bottle to catch it🤣🤣🤣🤣🤷🏾♀️ now I do have another regret buy and it’s the Bright Peach fragrance,,, it smells like arm pits 🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭 other than that I have had a beautiful experience with most of my purchases 🌹🌹🌹🌹🥰 great video sis 🥰🌹🌹 have a beautiful weekend 🥰✋🏾
I'm pretty impressed with Middle Eastern perfumes I've bought so far. I have 60+ of them. My only regrets are Mazaaji - I smell dill in there, and Maboussin promise me intense - I smell a hint of decomposing fish in the backround. I know, weird 🤷♀️
Hola Cee, mis decepciones fueron Ajwad ,no me gusta la nota metálica de azafrán y Bade oud amethys,el oud de este perfume es sucio no lo soporto, gracias por compartir 😘
Hello Cee Most of us are collecting same perfume in different bottles or even different Middle Eastern Companies. Ragba and Oud Mood and Khadlaj Musk ward
Greeting cee. Enjoying this openness and content.. Blind buy that I regret buying is andaleep, ragba, l’autre oud, Ameer Al oud, private confidential and sutoor.. I’ve gifted away majority.. drifting away from Lataffa this year.. 👏🏾
❤ this content would ❤ to see more regrets. So far I have purchase all my ME collection as a blind buys. Some that I hated, Nasheet, Ameer Al Oud Intense, Badee Al Oud Amethyst all required lenghthy maceration : 4-9 minutes months to get down to the hyped smell . I can not thank you enough for your extensive truthful in-depth reviews! Cee you have spoiled us in such a way as no one gets down to the note presentation like you!
@@MzV2CShows how different everyone's nose is, I really love Ameer Al Oudh Intense. I only have a decant tho, I've never blind bought a full bottle of any perfume. For Ameer Al Oudh Intense I actually have smelled it in store, but it was just in the air, so went home to order a decant. Worn it many times and love it.
Hello! Very interesting video. Lattafa has been very successful but from what I see, they are launching so many products with a similar aromatic profile that it will inevitably cause confusion and fatigue among their customers, especially since some perfumes are very expensive for what they offer. In Spanish we have a phrase that says "Morir de éxito" (Dying of success). It seems to me that if this continues, that is what will happen to Lattafa.
Well said. I think their strategy will be the end of them. They have overwhelmed, saturated and suffocated the market. People are seeing this and the hype is slowly dying. Their 2nd Lattafa Pride and niche collection haven’t gotten as much attention as their first one.
I have alot of middle eastern perfume, but the two i regret buying are 24 garat gold the dark one and Nasheet both have incense in them .and i hate incense small .
Thank you for one more great video with lots of good information and new approach on it. You´ve allready done couple "these smell similar" and these are really appreciated. But on this you also let us know of some of the perfumes that you did not enjoy. It´s always great when you tell us of good perfumes, but it´s as good when you tell us of those we might be slow to buy, and get a sample first, if we still are interested. I was really upto to getting vanilla so sweet. But now for certain it´s delayed, and i consider if i want to get even a sample. I love vanilla, but i also have allready few vanilla heavy fragrances.
Sha'ari from Lattafa was my worst blind buy. I expected a leather rose wood combo. What I got was peanut and dirt. Maceration helped a little, but it was still ultra weird, so I gave it away.
I have way too many that others hyped up, but I didn't enjoy. Nasheet, Khamrah and Rare Tiffany are the ones that I can remember off the top of my head.
Blind buy regrets 😢...I have plenty. I don't remember all of them but just to name a few, Elle Saab, CH by Carolina Herrera, Tweed (or is it Tweet by Hermes?), Alien (the orig)and Alien Sublime, and thinking twice about Versace Dylan Turqouise 🤔
I’m also on the fence acout raw human. I’m going to give it some time to see if it changes ie my perception of it does?!? I’ve also discovered in not particularly into pineapple fragrances. Not exactly sure what it is, but I’m not a fan. 🤷🏼♀️
I regret buying lattafa ana abiyedh white. Not once but 2 bottles. The first bottle I bought smelled so alcoholic that I can't even put myself to wear it. Thinking that I could have gotten a spoilt one, I purchased another one. That one also smells the same like the first one. What a waste!

@@CeeChroniclesTalkingScentsthese scammers are getting really bad. I was watching a fragrance reviewer and she was having a giveaway. I got a message from her profile asking me to call her number and that I won a giveaway. But they wanted money for shipping up front. Not realizing that it was a scam because I'm like okay she's actually having a giveaway and everything so who would do something like that? Long story short they tried to ask for more money because it who wasn't enough I was telling her how something wasn't right and what was the last comment that I put in a copy and paste it a comment that I left her so I was almost convinced. Anyway I had my sister contact this RUclipsr on her Instagram because I do not have one and ask her has she been contacting me about a giveaway and she said no.
Great video cee you are so honest I live in Cyprus and lattafa has only been herefor few months when I went to buy a couple I was so overwhelming to see all them boxes I ended up buying 6 I did try them on but at the I got so mixed up I got its been about month that I have had them and I all apart from one which is pried in a dark red bottle gold something on the front thar day I spent 650 euros which is alot of money for clones please help me I would like to maybe2 perfume s from there that sexy last long on wearing and cost a million God bless you and thank you for all your good work wait to hear from you ❤❤🎉
My regret buy is I Am the Queen from Ard al Zaafaran. I looked at the notes and really thought I'd like it but it's so strong and smells so sharp 😭 I'm letting it macerate in hopes it'll mellow down but I doubt it. 😢
I am queen was my but one of my first Middle Eastern fragrances I got a couple years ago I like it it smells really good now but it just doesn't last that long
Cee i have cherry cola from emir,i love the opening of cola,and cherry,but i was hoping for a sour cherry and this is more like cough syrup,and the opening if cherry and cola fades almost all the way,and i find it to be more masculine on me,i dont distinguish what is the masculine note.But i am letting macerate to see if it gets better or at least vanilla style.I havent try tonka cola from mancera,i dont know if its the same.What to you think Cee?
Please, sis. Tell me what lipstick and color that is! I've been looking for exactly that for so many years. On the perfume, sorry for your bad buys and thanks for the heads up. I can skip more of these.
I have Rasasi Al Ghalia and Qasamat Morhaf, and they are so similar to me, and I can't wear neither because they are so strong for my nose. I don't want to give them away because I pay highly for them( when middle eastern fragrances weren't easy to access) now maybe I store them for a while, maybe would I change my mind in the future?
Alhambra Tabac Exclusif, Armaf Victory, Ana Abiyadh Rouge, and Alhambra Perseus are the worst ones I bought...Ana Abiyadh Rouge was just pure alcohol and it gave me a bad allergic reaction...straight to the trash
Good morning Cee! So far I’ve been loving most of the Middle East, that I’ve purchased over the last 2 to 3 months, but from what I’m smelling right now, I’m really regretting buying Ansaam Gold and I just picked up Mon Guerlain. With Ansaam Gold (I have had for less than a month) and I’m not liking it at all! 😢I have love don’t be shy, and I only smelled Oriana once, but of all the Parfums de Marley perfume that I smelled early last year, Oriana was the one I liked most, so I was excited when people said it was similar to them. I don’t know what it is about it, but I’m just not getting along with it. I’m hoping this is one of the ones that I have to let and will get better, but if not… I guess I’m stuck with it. With Mon Guerlain, I just picked it up had it on sale for $50, and I had always wanted to try it. The first night I wore it to bed, it smelled amazing ( maybe it was because of what I had had on previously), but when I tried it again yesterday before I went to work, it smelled like Play-Doh! I sprayed it once again last night, and I’m getting the same Play-Doh vibe. When I mixed it with Khamarah, that masked it for sure. I normally don’t take things back, but I’m going to see if I can take it back to Sephora.
Hi Cee! Guilty! 🙋🏻♀️I fell down the Vanilla So Sweet rabbit hole. It's so generic and not at ALL what I expected or wanted. Certain notes will make me blind buy. The new hot fragrance which is all over social media is Cotton Abyed by Mamlakat Al Oud. Perhaps you've seen it? The bottle has a feathery white pompom on it. Notes include praline, coconut, vanilla, plum. It sounds awesome, right?? Since it's very heavily hyped, it is difficult to find. I bought mine from France. I got it today and it smells..... nice. But I'm not getting much of anything, so I'm hoping with time and maceration, those tropical notes will shine through. Have you heard any buzz about this fragrance?
I don't try to get everything in a fragrance line. I look at reviews, sample if I can, and focus on the one from the line that seems like the best fit for my tastes. Ocassionally I'll find two from a line that I like, for example Badee Al Oud Amethyst and Sublime.
I'm sorry glad that you did this
This is very much worth a quick review. I'm noticing several of these frags out there for a song. Love going back to these reviews prior to purchasing.
Purchase regret PC Nouf (Rave Blk better smelling), Afnan Faten Maroon (stinks), Qissa Pink (redundant), Carmel Cascade (hype), and Afnan Historic Doria (bottle romance). There's my confession 😢
Thank you for sharing. It’s so hot clue each other up yo avoid redundancy 💕
Dear Cee, Good friends tell you the hard truth and the hard truth is, consumers need to know what not to buy to avoid disappointment. It seems we are being encouraged to get every new bottle without much effort into its contents. So….reviewers become even more pressured to help. Thank you for the caution regarding redundancy, poorly mixed scents and paying for packaging. It’s unfortunate, but saves everyone but yourself. Thank goodness there are still gems to be sifted from all of this, and fantastic perfumes that do not cost the top of the range. And thank you, for helping us find them. Here, it is blind buying, online purchasing or nothing. Wishing you a great day.🌷🌸🌷
Indeed and by the way, @CeeChronicles-Talking even if it's not middle Easter but oriental, "black opium red" the new flanker, is "la nuit trésor + vanilla vibration from Zara". And then, you have this comforting woody middle Eastern vibe... I have two of them and I could compare.
Absolutely 💯 I wish these companies had testers. It would also be very helpful 🥰
So true💯
I have so much blind buy regrets, but I am still holding and hoarding them, hoping they might work one day 😢
I'm in the same place as you are😅
Sameeeeee 🤣
Girl me too, I have an insanely huge graveyard of bottles that are just collecting dust.
My people, sell sell sell! I've tried to make fragrances work for me and they just don't, I've gotten over trying. Haven't repurchased anything that I've given away or sold. It feels good to get rid of them.
I use them as bathroom spray after a 💩
This kind of content is really important, too. Thank’s a lot from Switzerland! You are the queen of Arabian Perfumes😘
You're so welcome!🥰
I love how your reviews are always honest not promoting any brand .
Thank you 🥰
Decluttering is painful, no doubt. A local frag group in my area collaborated with a local abused women and children shelter at Christmas time and brought in our collective donations, and the ladies and teens picked their own frags. OMG guys, the joy, the happy faces, I'll never forget 😊 The group has decided to donate again next year.
Cee, I totally get the repeat DNA! 😅 one thing I don't want to smell like is a fumigated construction foundation 😅😅😅
I really like the information here. Thank you, Cee ❤
My biggest disappointment frag was Sawalef Kohl Al Ayoun (WARNING) civet forward, Velvet Rose (weak juice), Rave Red (herbal yuck), Maison Alhambre Prescious Gold (bad dupe).
Cee, I've been exploring alternative eastern houses. Less known in my area, better price, great performance, and even the beautiful packaging for the bottle collectors out there. I've been so happy with most of my purchases. Lattafa has been so hyped that, honestly, they're no longer that affordable. I'm always looking for traditional historically correct DNAs, I love Attars and oils, something not run of-the-mill. I love the history of perfumery, the art of perfumery, and the various cultural traditions involved.

I did something similar with our senior center. Just because they're older doesn't mean they don't want to try new scents!
@pkswafford that's awesome! You are so right, and I bet they loved their fragrances ❤️ very kind 😇
So nice of you guys to donate towards that family. It’s so heartwarming and thoughtful. 🥰
I bought the Raw Human and I’m still pondering on it. I got caught out there with the notes. The alternative you’re suggesting I’m going to look for. I’ll be the first to admit I need to hold the line with Lattafa and wait on you for your suggestions.
Thank you. I hope it will improve 🥰
Thank you Cee! I have also regrets…Lattafa Velvet Rose, Paris Corner Rifaaqat(just burnt wood) and also Frenetic Delicieuse, it is blended well I just don’t like it. Smells like lavender baby powder soap to me. I might try to sell them on Mercari to recoup a little money for new ones.

Oh no! I just purchased the Vanilla So Sweet, but I have high hopes it will be a nice layering fragrance. I love Vanilla scents so I have high hopes!
Yes it’s perfect for layering 🥰
Yes excellent for layering
I think it smells great!

Thank you so much 🤗
I hope you don't have more regrets but if you do, please do a second part this video was very helpful to me,, thank you Cee 🎉
You’re welcome 🥰
I love Vanilla So Sweet! I hear it's a clone of the old formulation of Spiritueuse Double Vanille. Nonetheless, it's a great vanilla fragrance.
Thanks for sharing!🥰
I agree. I tested Spiriteuse Double Vanille in about 2010, and Vanilla So Sweet is reminiscent of that, although not as intense.
Hello Cee
Most of us are collecting same perfume in different bottles or even different Middle Eastern Companies. Ragba and Oud Mood and Khadlaj Musk ward

I can relate. Sorry my darling Sis 🥰
I have way too many that others hyped up, but I didn't enjoy. Nasheet, Khamrah and Rare Tiffany are the ones that I can remember off the top of my head.
I have Rare Tiffany and agree it’s a tough one 🥰
It happens to the best of us lol. My regrets are ebhar by rasasi. I really wanted to like it but it just smelled like straight up menthol on my skin.
Sorry for that ☺️
Great video. Every opportunity to save $ is appreciated in 2024.
You’re welcome 🥰
Cee i also bought casmir from chopard,but its to much vintagee for me,i am letting macerate and see if the vanilla gets better
Casmere is an awkward one. I have it too but l like it. It doesn’t change that much. Iv had mine for 2years
Ohh,i will try to understand it then,the good news is that it cost me like 24 dollars,so it doesn’t hurt much

@noor_ar01 Hey dear. There’s someone impersonating your name via PayPal. I asked them to write a massage here on RUclips because you are personally one of my frequent commenters. They refused but rather chose to copy paste this very comment of yours claiming they don’t want it known on this platform that they donated to my channel.

@@CeeChroniclesTalkingScentsthese scammers are getting really bad. I was watching a fragrance reviewer and she was having a giveaway. I got a message from her profile asking me to call her number and that I won a giveaway. But they wanted money for shipping up front. Not realizing that it was a scam because I'm like okay she's actually having a giveaway and everything so who would do something like that? Long story short they tried to ask for more money because it who wasn't enough I was telling her how something wasn't right and what was the last comment that I put in a copy and paste it a comment that I left her so I was almost convinced. Anyway I had my sister contact this RUclipsr on her Instagram because I do not have one and ask her has she been contacting me about a giveaway and she said no.

Are you going to reply to me on comments of lattafa perfume s
Thank you so much God bless you 🙏 💖
Thank you so much you area angel lots of love and kisses 💋
I don’t have many blind buy regrets maybe 4 out of 500 Tfs your regrets ❤
Good for you. It can be disappointing to find out that a fragrance is not worth it 🥰
My regret buy is I Am the Queen from Ard al Zaafaran. I looked at the notes and really thought I'd like it but it's so strong and smells so sharp 😭 I'm letting it macerate in hopes it'll mellow down but I doubt it. 😢
Oh no. I can relate 😢
I am queen was my but one of my first Middle Eastern fragrances I got a couple years ago I like it it smells really good now but it just doesn't last that long
Cee i have cherry cola from emir,i love the opening of cola,and cherry,but i was hoping for a sour cherry and this is more like cough syrup,and the opening if cherry and cola fades almost all the way,and i find it to be more masculine on me,i dont distinguish what is the masculine note.But i am letting macerate to see if it gets better or at least vanilla style.I havent try tonka cola from mancera,i dont know if its the same.What to you think Cee?
It’s the same as Tonka Cola. The problem is tha Paris Corners need 2 months or so to macerate 🥰
Ohh,i will wait then.Thanks Cee💕
For a sour cherry note you might like Fragrance World Queen of Hearts. It's inspired by LPRN.
Please, sis. Tell me what lipstick and color that is! I've been looking for exactly that for so many years.
On the perfume, sorry for your bad buys and thanks for the heads up. I can skip more of these.
Estée Lauder 48 hot kiss
Totally regret buying Nasheet, Frenetic Delicieuse, Raghba, did not need modest deux nothing special here !!!
Oh no 🙈
Just curious, what was it about Raghba that you didn't like?
Wow. I count all of those as loves (the first thee --- I didn't buy Modest Deux).
I have Rasasi Al Ghalia and Qasamat Morhaf, and they are so similar to me, and I can't wear neither because they are so strong for my nose.
I don't want to give them away because I pay highly for them( when middle eastern fragrances weren't easy to access) now maybe I store them for a while, maybe would I change my mind in the future?
Sorry about that. I can relate 🥰
Alhambra Tabac Exclusif, Armaf Victory, Ana Abiyadh Rouge, and Alhambra Perseus are the worst ones I bought...Ana Abiyadh Rouge was just pure alcohol and it gave me a bad allergic reaction...straight to the trash
Same, Ana Abiyeh Rogue has no smell, its weak
Sorry for that 🥰
Good morning Cee!
So far I’ve been loving most of the Middle East, that I’ve purchased over the last 2 to 3 months, but from what I’m smelling right now, I’m really regretting buying Ansaam Gold and I just picked up Mon Guerlain.
With Ansaam Gold (I have had for less than a month) and I’m not liking it at all! 😢I have love don’t be shy, and I only smelled Oriana once, but of all the Parfums de Marley perfume that I smelled early last year, Oriana was the one I liked most, so I was excited when people said it was similar to them. I don’t know what it is about it, but I’m just not getting along with it. I’m hoping this is one of the ones that I have to let and will get better, but if not… I guess I’m stuck with it.
With Mon Guerlain, I just picked it up had it on sale for $50, and I had always wanted to try it. The first night I wore it to bed, it smelled amazing ( maybe it was because of what I had had on previously), but when I tried it again yesterday before I went to work, it smelled like Play-Doh! I sprayed it once again last night, and I’m getting the same Play-Doh vibe. When I mixed it with Khamarah, that masked it for sure. I normally don’t take things back, but I’m going to see if I can take it back to Sephora.
I’m sorry about your experience. It’s such a shame when a fragrance flops 🥰
Hi Cee! Guilty! 🙋🏻♀️I fell down the Vanilla So Sweet rabbit hole. It's so generic and not at ALL what I expected or wanted. Certain notes will make me blind buy. The new hot fragrance which is all over social media is Cotton Abyed by Mamlakat Al Oud. Perhaps you've seen it? The bottle has a feathery white pompom on it. Notes include praline, coconut, vanilla, plum. It sounds awesome, right?? Since it's very heavily hyped, it is difficult to find. I bought mine from France. I got it today and it smells..... nice. But I'm not getting much of anything, so I'm hoping with time and maceration, those tropical notes will shine through. Have you heard any buzz about this fragrance?
I hope it gets better with time. It would be sad if it disappoints
Blind buy regret: OUD Mood Elixir, to my nose it smells like a bad batch of weed!
🤣🤣 oh no 🙈
I don't think I will ever like Oud Mood🤔
I'm so nervous watching this because I have some blind buy fragrances on the way and I pray none are included in this video. 😂
I hope you won’t come across some 🥰
@@CeeChroniclesTalkingScents thankfully, I didn't! 😅
I regret buying gentle gold and secret seduction oud by Fragranceworld
Sorry for that 🥰
The Fire, I'd call it the Creosote or Carbolic acid. An expensive termite killer! 😂
😂😂❤️
Raw Human is definitely the worst blind buy I have made so far!
Same here
Lord I have like 50 I regret buying….😢
Edit: I also “had” to complete so many collections and am just kicking myself for wasting thousands of dollars.
You and me both!☺️🤔🥲
I don't try to get everything in a fragrance line. I look at reviews, sample if I can, and focus on the one from the line that seems like the best fit for my tastes. Ocassionally I'll find two from a line that I like, for example Badee Al Oud Amethyst and Sublime.
L'autre oud is my most regretful blind buy.
The feeling is mutual 💕
