Great to see you back Sam ,and what a great new direction for the channel,so badly needed these day ,l definitely will be taking notes on your recommendations ,yeah totally go for it. Oh I gotta get me Rochas Femme EDP 👍🙏✌️
I am so excited about the new direction you are planning to take for your channel. I cannot afford the Creeds and the Rojas, but I do look forward to discovering original and unique perfumes that do not break the bank.
Love the party outfit! I always say that you can’t wait for a “special occasion” to wear certain clothes, fragrances. Every day is a special occasion! Definitely do top medicinal faves video!
Ooh Relique D'Amour sounds incredible! I love the smell of cold, damp cellars for example. My Dad was a plasterer, I LOVE the smell of cement, plaster, linseed, wood, stone, moss. He was also a painter and use to do oil painting in the cellar of the house. My Mum still lives in that house and my Dad did his rendition of a Van Gogh in plaster and oil paint on the wall. I'm gonna go look at it next time I go to my Mum's. Scent memories
It is absolutely insane how beautiful Habanita is. After a long search I found a back up, also bought Esprit and Cologne. They are so hard to find. Very addictive. Rochas Femme and Madame Rochas are such a forgotten gems. Sam, I am so glad you are on a new path of introducing this hidden classics, instead of talking about absently expensive fragrances. Thank you for the video.
You are so right. Esprit and Cologne are beautiful in their own right too. Cologne shall be my summer scent I think. Thank you for sharing some perfume love 🌹Xo Sam
I’m def here for a medicinal fragrance video! Now I’m tempted to get the Serge Lutens.. you had me at night blooming jasmine and I see there’s ylang also? Sounds like a winner to me.
Your thumbnail is quite impressive. It looks like it should be on one of those great jazz albums from the later 60's early 70's I actually thought of Bitches Brew from Miles Davis. I enjoy the house of Papilion. I have Anubis. and I have sampled Salome, Bengal Royal, and Tobacco Rose. I got the samples when I was in Cleveland at Indigo Perfumery. At the hotel, just before bed, I applied Tobacco Rose. My first impression was that I enjoyed it. The second, I would buy this for a woman. It wasn't because it was overly seductive but more because of how it quieted into a moment. Those brief wordless whispers that envelope the invitation before the embrace. Yes, there are perfumes that you can tell are going to evolve into the sublime. Something that reaches back into our physical psyche. Something primordial. I've been getting into vintage perfumes. Why, well like you said, there are just so many new houses coming out these days, and since I don't know many of the great perfumes of the past, why not find some that are heralded as classic greats. Plus there is the aging aspect of them, along with the quality of ingredients they used back then. I'm doing this with music also. I picked up Lee Morgan's Sidewinder, Fred Jackson Hootin N Tootin, and a couple of Art Blakey's. The same goes for books. I am just starting to read Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and I just finished Big Sur by Kerouac. Anyways, it's good to have you back Sam. always best wishes to you.
I celebrate anyone enjoying life and exuding joy in WHATEVER makes them happy. I love a haul video. Live your life and love every bit of variety and choice you create for yourself! I enjoy learning about all the exciting choices. HUGS!!!!
Totally agree! There are many fragrances being released recently that just smell like those released decades ago. Some I can totally say this is something I smelled as a kid buy it’s hard to track down the original one. Similar to what happens in fashion, where we see today ppl wearing what we used to wear in the 80s. Habanita is magical and a fascinating timeless scent!
I would love to hear your recommendations for fragrance shopping in London. I love your perspective and think a guide by you would be interesting and valuable…
Ooh I was just looking at Papillon yesterday. Love hearing more about them from you. I would love to watch the camphor / medicinal perfumes video, I love those kinds of notes, I find them oddly comforting
You remind me of Halle Berry a lot. Just subscribed to your channel. Not for that reason though 😅 Your content is nice and the way you describe the scents is just my viiiibbbeee 🌺👌😜
I LOVE most of the fragrances that you mention!! Vapeurs diablotines, relique d'amour (I LOVE this one, you have ti try LArtisans Passage DEnfer too and Sanctus by Liquides Imaginaires), Bengale Rouge, tho I like Salome better from the same house, Chanel 19, habanita!! My beloved habanita..I own and old bottle and want to get a new one for comparisons..... I also own fils the Joie and Tubereuse criminelle, I love Tubereuse but Fils....there is something a bit screechy that I dunno... WHAT A LIST! I LOVE the new direction of your channel. Finding good honest offerings and avoiding all the bull***. I fell for the hype twice and got 2 Xerjoffs and NEVER again... A friend and I have a channel in Spanish too and we avoid Xerjoffs, Rojas, Marlys, Creeds...yah know... like the pest. Our latest discovery has been the oldest family owned perfumery in Serbia and WOW! What an experience.... That is true luxury, not a tacky bottle full of fake stones
Oh yes, we are fragrance twins! Passage D'Enfer I adore.. it does remind me of Relique as well. Sanctus I must re-visit. Please share the name of your Spanish channel, it sounds perfect. 🌹Xo Sam
Love where you are heading with your fragrance journey ✨️ ❤️ I just bought Rochas Tocade so cheaply and it's wonderful. Have you tried Paloma Picasso, Sam? It has Knowing vibes but more animalic x
Thanks so much, Bizzy, it's good to see you here! I do have Paloma Picasso, but it's the reformulated one and I don't find it animalic at all :( Perhaps I was unlucky with the batch 🌹Xo Sam
Welcome back Sam! You look so beautiful. I love how expressive you are in this video about how these fragrances make you feel. I’m looking forward to new content from you, especially about what brands you no longer buy from, it’s refreshing 😄
Hi Sam! Where you buy all your Serge Lutens perfumes from? Their official website? I want to try a lot of SL perfumes but the prices variates a lot in different eu websites and I'm affraid of fakes
I love many of your choices. Serge Lutens was my entry into niche, but I lost interest when the brand seemed to be going more mainstream and subtle. Will need to try Fils de Joie
i actually enjoy your ramblings ! thank you for sharing ! and yes PLS make that video on ripoffs and i'd also like to know more about why you are slightly pivoting to focus on mid range fragrances
I love lutens it’s my fav after Dior… oh maybe I like lutens more as I’m older i need WILD and intense!! But you describe as naughty and melancholic but I have a hard time imagining flowers as being melancholic?? Do you have a melancholic perfume list ?? Ooo
Yes I would love a video on camphorous perfumes. The woody, herbal, camphor medicinal smell that conjures up ancient Chinese medicine and unapologetic greenness.
Love fis de joie. Its extreeemly naughty! My husband loves this, but OMG this is soooo strong in the begining and indolic and the first autentic Jasmin I have found. (Have been looking for one for 3 years)
The Lutens I mentioned in this video could be a contendor (Fils de Joie) as well as other Lutens fragrances such as Musk Koublai Khan, otherwise Papillon Spell 125, Amouage Epic Woman, ooo I love this genre, maybe I should make a video 🌹Xo Sam
@@MyWorldofFragrance Hi Sam! I just went through most of your videos again and I realised you responded, RUclips doesn’t notify me for some reason. Thank you Sam, I’ll definitely check these out x
I am very happy you changed your opinion about very expensive fragrance that I cannot afford. that's why I stopped watching your channel for a long time because I love your taste it is very similar to mine but I can't afford the fragrance you talked about so I fell disappointed 😢 please support us people with great taste but with moderate budget love you
Omg I so much looove this video❤ its such a concrete approach ❤ Cant wait to see the video about brands you no longer buy 🙏🏽😍🥺❤️ that would be so helpful … nothing better than to listen to a really trained nose and a woman with an exquisite taste!!!
Hi Sam! Fantastic video! Really love your intelligent thoughts & analysis of these scents! Thanks for the learning! 🙏❤️ ps - I’m a huge Papillon fan! 🙌❤️
Wow! 😃😃 so happy to see you back! I have been missing you. You look absolutely wonderful 🤩 thank you for the reviews! ❤️ Have a lovely weekend Sam! Joan
I am a huge Serge Lutens fan. I bought Fils de Joie last month and couldn't be happier. The night blooming Jasmine smells like my childhood’s backyard in Brazil, so nostalgic and evocative of home. Honey is a challenging note do me, usually smells pissy on my skin but here is just perfection. What an awesome composition. Chergui is another love of mine, just wow 🥰
I love gasoline, jet fuel etc LOL. I want the old church smell!!! Have to check that fragrance out. Serge Lutens always has a special place in my heart, it was the first niche fragrance I bought, will always have them in my collection! Thanks great video! 💕
I want Chanel N°22. Had some in HS in the 80s...miss it. I think Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille smells very Camphor. It smells like Carmex or Blistex which I like. Guerlain Shalimar is my signature fragrance...& I don't care what anyone says, I LOVE it! 😊
I think you are the only other person who can relate Tabasco vanille to the lip ointment!! When I mentioned this to others they think I am crazy but I actually find the scent comforting.
I love camphorous smells too, it's nice to have it cut through heavier base notes to lift the scent. Have you tried Fueguia? I'm on my 4th bottle and pick up on a hidden camphorous note that that runs through all the scents albeit they are all very different, there is like a eucaplyptus note or something bright that peeks through.
Yay a new vid from you! Of those you spoke about, I’ve only sniffed Chanel No. 19, which I have a 6 year old mini EDP of, given to me by a friend who doesn’t love chypres. I’ve had Roche Femme in my list. I saw it at TJMaxx in NYC a few months back and passed, only to then look it up on Fragrantica and realize I probably would’ve loved it. Very excited for your return and the new direction you’re taking with you channel!
Serge Lutens Tuberose Criminal is my favorite tuberose scent too! I have Chanel No. 19 in the edp, love it. Haven't tried the others but they sound so interesting. I agree with that the classic perfumes are being copied for profit. Looking forward to your next video.
I was blown away by a sample from unknown Oriza: Louis XV. A wonderful carnation with rose, mandarin,... Pas seulement floral mais aussi épicé, poivré. Ordered a full bottle plus sample kit. 💪
Great reviews! I get such a good idea if I want to try a fragrance from your description. You describe not just how they smell to you, but how you experience them & how they make you feel. Not everyone who reviews fragrances does that. So please keep the reviews coming!! Also- Chanel 19 will always be in my fragrance collection- always- I love it so much. I have Tom Ford's Vert de Fleur too, for when I want a rougher, less refined, green floral. Thank you for the Bengale Rouge review. I just got Anubis and I am obsessed with it. I want to try more of her fragrances especially Bengale Rouge and Tobacco Rose. I'm going to try them for sure. Thanks again.
Overall, your suggestions are PHENOMENAL!!! I live in a place where I have ZERO access to 95% of the fragrances you discuss. So I had blind buy ALL of my fragrances and I know this sounds absolutely bananas, but I bought them within about 2-3 months! I've purchased nearly 100 scents based solely on your recommendations (and a few from the perfume guy). I don't know if you're a REAL real person, but somebody up in here needs to be cutting you a check!!! Thank you so much!
Aaah I'm so glad that you discovered Habanita and Relique d'Amour, I have a very small perfume collection but I own both and they're in my top 3 (along with Diorella when I want green). I loved your descriptions!
Just rewatching. Re: Bengale Royale... I really want to smell a fragrance that smells like dogs paws. Specifically my German Shepherd's. Like leathery, animalistic furry, with some earthy, soil-y, grassy nuances
I love listening to you talk about perfumes and you have a great nose in my opinion. I am a lot older than you and started my perfume journey with Halston in HIgh School and then Mitsouko, among many other chypres. Mitsouko was my signature for years and years and it is still my number one perfume. My collection is heavy on vintage (well, I am vintage afterall...) and chypres. I love Rochas Femme and yes, it's a plum fruity chypre. I think it does smell peachy and it's the use of Prunol that gives it that particular fruity aroma and it's so sexy and lovely. Find your self a vintage bottle! I just ordered Francesca Bianchi, Under My Skin, and can't wait to smell it :o) oxJulia
@@MyWorldofFragrance For sure, because you have such an extensive knowledge of ultra-expensive perfumes, it gives you a lot of credibility to talk about the not-so-expensive ones. It's a great move!
That Vapeurs Diablotines really does grab the attention, a super one👌🏻 And Relique d'Armour so damp and evocative, a beautiful creation. Great stuff Sam and I look forward to the upcoming, very interesting sounding, videos🙌🏻.
Wow these all sound amazing! I was just starting an order of Papillon samples yesterday from Lucky! Delicious Delights tried that Sous Le Manteau fragrance last year and also loved it! I want it! And to try the SL ones and Habanita! I agree about reviews. Some of us are so different! Today I am wearing a bizarre one I ADORE called Fleur Poudrée de Musc by Les Néréides which I for some reason have collected.. and people were dissing this! But it’s sharp in an awesome way, a little old fashioned and also a bit naughty. I hope you will get to try it too:-)
seriously you've got me so intrigued about Relique D’Amour - Oriza L. Legrand that I picked this up from LuckyScent …never thought I'd be so excited about wet rocks and mold, but you've done it again!
@@MyWorldofFragrance It arrived from LuckyScent w a broken atomizer so waiting for my replacement. Luckily I got a sample and really like it! It’s artistic, and conceptual, yet wearable. And yes, it smells of wet rocks, stone, moss, walls - I’m looking forward to wearing it for those introspective days :)
I love your unique take on fragrances, definitely my favourite fragrance youtuber! I am new to being frag-obsessed and in Australia we have huge markups compared to elsewhere and some things can be hard to get easily. I blind bought Fils de Joie (and La Fille de Berlin) based on your descriptions (and some fragrantica reviews) and oh my god, they are both wonderful, Fils de Joie in particular is perfect for the current warm weather here IMO! I WISH I could get Tubereuse Criminelle but it appears to be discontinued or not available here.
Enjoying your content very much. I'm into learning about mysterious perfumes with personality or a story that are off the beaten trail. I'm so over the commercialized versions with their exhaustive "flankers" coming out every week!! Today you gave me the word that has been eluding me "camphorous" to described a perfume I like very much, but that note which I was calling "medicinal" kinda was throwing me off. Elizabeth and James Rose Nirvana. I was lucky to get 3 of their fragrances at Kohl's for next to nothing as they were winding down selling these anymore. It has geranium and that could be the only note giving off that smell. My mom grew them in her garden, they were sweet until you crushed a leaf or petal and that "camphorous" smell would be present. I've had it for over a year and it seems to be mellowing out, or my nose just got used to that note.
Who else was glad that the video was over 20 minutes besides me?
Great to see you back Sam ,and what a great new direction for the channel,so badly needed these day ,l definitely will be taking notes on your recommendations ,yeah totally go for it. Oh I gotta get me Rochas Femme EDP 👍🙏✌️
Thank you so much, Bren. It's good to see your comment. Let me know what you think if you get to try it 🌹Xo Sam
I am so excited about the new direction you are planning to take for your channel. I cannot afford the Creeds and the Rojas, but I do look forward to discovering original and unique perfumes that do not break the bank.
Thank you so much for sharing. I think there is no need to break the bank at all to smell exquisite 🌹Xo Sam
All Serge Lutens scents are melancholy & witchy, in my opinion.
They all do something with you in a way, other scents do not!
Big heart!
Love the party outfit! I always say that you can’t wait for a “special occasion” to wear certain clothes, fragrances. Every day is a special occasion!
Definitely do top medicinal faves video!
Purchased Rochas Femme amazing fragrance

Wow just looked the brand... excites me! I'm ordering some samples 🤗
I can 100% relate. Damp cellars 🤤 🌹Xo Sam

Fils de Joie is so sexy. So good to have you back Sam! Love the feathers!! Xxx
It oozes sexy witch, doesn't it? Prrrrr! Big hug to you, Cherie 🌹Xo Sam
Habanita! ❤❤❤ Iconic still! Thank you for giving a great review on this!
It is absolutely insane how beautiful Habanita is. After a long search I found a back up, also bought Esprit and Cologne. They are so hard to find. Very addictive. Rochas Femme and Madame Rochas are such a forgotten gems. Sam, I am so glad you are on a new path of introducing this hidden classics, instead of talking about absently expensive fragrances. Thank you for the video.
You are so right. Esprit and Cologne are beautiful in their own right too. Cologne shall be my summer scent I think. Thank you for sharing some perfume love 🌹Xo Sam
Sorry may I ask why you can't find Habanita (and flankers)? Here in Italy it seems it is well stocked. Do you know if they are discontinued?
I’m def here for a medicinal fragrance video! Now I’m tempted to get the Serge Lutens.. you had me at night blooming jasmine and I see there’s ylang also? Sounds like a winner to me.
Same! Medicinal fragrances are so healing and comforting 💚
Oh it is a winner if that's something you enjoy... but the honey is definitely in there too, gotta love a thick honey 🌹Xo Sam
Love your descriptives and how you paint a picture when talking about fragrances…keep the great content coming!
Thank you so much, I appreciate that 🌹Xo Sam
Your thumbnail is quite impressive.
It looks like it should be on one of those great jazz albums from the later 60's early 70's
I actually thought of Bitches Brew from Miles Davis.
I enjoy the house of Papilion. I have Anubis. and I have sampled Salome, Bengal Royal, and Tobacco Rose.
I got the samples when I was in Cleveland at Indigo Perfumery.
At the hotel, just before bed, I applied Tobacco Rose.
My first impression was that I enjoyed it. The second, I would buy this for a woman.
It wasn't because it was overly seductive but more because of how it quieted into a moment.
Those brief wordless whispers that envelope the invitation before the embrace.
Yes, there are perfumes that you can tell are going to evolve into the sublime.
Something that reaches back into our physical psyche. Something primordial.
I've been getting into vintage perfumes.
Why, well like you said, there are just so many new houses coming out these days,
and since I don't know many of the great perfumes of the past, why not find some that are heralded
as classic greats. Plus there is the aging aspect of them, along with the quality of ingredients they used back then.
I'm doing this with music also. I picked up Lee Morgan's Sidewinder, Fred Jackson Hootin N Tootin,
and a couple of Art Blakey's.
The same goes for books. I am just starting to read Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance,
and I just finished Big Sur by Kerouac.
Anyways, it's good to have you back Sam.
always best wishes to you.
Why thank you! A wonderful comment to leave. Such a pleasure hearing from you. 🌹Xo Sam
I feel Fils de Joie is quite animalic on my skin. Love Tubereuse Criminelle though.
Yes, it definitely can be animalic 🌹Xo Sam

Great video. I’m anxious to try Relique d'Amour. One of my favorite perfumes is Chypre-Mousse. Such a work of art.
Ah, fantastic! I have a sample of that one somewhere I believe 🌹Xo Sam
Serge Lutens Tuberose Criminal is my favorite tuberose scent too! I have Chanel No. 19 in the edp, love it. Haven't tried the others but they sound so interesting. I agree with that the classic perfumes are being copied for profit. Looking forward to your next video.
Oh it is a magical scent, no doubt. Thanks so much for your support 🌹Xo Sam
Molinard is a great house, thank you for featuring them :)
Feathers and fragrances is some kinda morning! 😄 Celebrate whatcha got eh? 😉 Great to see you again Sam. Big fan of Rochas Femme!
Haha! A perfect morning! Big hug to you 🌹Xo Sam
you speak so passionately about these fragrances and I find myself behind my laptop googling them immediately
Aw I'm glad I didn't bore you 🌹Xo Sam
I was blown away by a sample from unknown Oriza: Louis XV. A wonderful carnation with rose, mandarin,... Pas seulement floral mais aussi épicé, poivré. Ordered a full bottle plus sample kit. 💪
Wow, I don't think I tried that one. Sounds parfait 🌹Xo Sam
Great reviews! I get such a good idea if I want to try a fragrance from your description. You describe not just how they smell to you, but how you experience them & how they make you feel. Not everyone who reviews fragrances does that. So please keep the reviews coming!! Also- Chanel 19 will always be in my fragrance collection- always- I love it so much. I have Tom Ford's Vert de Fleur too, for when I want a rougher, less refined, green floral. Thank you for the Bengale Rouge review. I just got Anubis and I am obsessed with it. I want to try more of her fragrances especially Bengale Rouge and Tobacco Rose. I'm going to try them for sure. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for sharing. Enjoy your Anubis! 🌹Xo Sam
Great video Sam! It's so good to see you back! 💓 Looking forward to your new content!💕
Thank you so much. Lovely to read your comment 🌹Xo Sam
Overall, your suggestions are PHENOMENAL!!! I live in a place where I have ZERO access to 95% of the fragrances you discuss. So I had blind buy ALL of my fragrances and I know this sounds absolutely bananas, but I bought them within about 2-3 months! I've purchased nearly 100 scents based solely on your recommendations (and a few from the perfume guy). I don't know if you're a REAL real person, but somebody up in here needs to be cutting you a check!!! Thank you so much!
I LOVE all of your recommendations!!!
Really enjoyed this video. Cannot wait to see where you go next. All these sound interesting and exciting.
Thank you so much, Shannan. They do tickle my feathers 🌹Xo Sam
Aaah I'm so glad that you discovered Habanita and Relique d'Amour, I have a very small perfume collection but I own both and they're in my top 3 (along with Diorella when I want green). I loved your descriptions!
Wow, for a small perfume collection, you have all the gems 🌹Xo Sam
Just rewatching. Re: Bengale Royale... I really want to smell a fragrance that smells like dogs paws. Specifically my German Shepherd's. Like leathery, animalistic furry, with some earthy, soil-y, grassy nuances
Sounds endearing. I shall let you know if I find one! 🌹Xo Sam
love the Chanel L'eau!, also Bois Des Iles...Chanel DNA.
Yes! I could drink it for breakfast 🌹Xo Sam
I love listening to you talk about perfumes and you have a great nose in my opinion. I am a lot older than you and started my perfume journey with Halston in HIgh School and then Mitsouko, among many other chypres. Mitsouko was my signature for years and years and it is still my number one perfume. My collection is heavy on vintage (well, I am vintage afterall...) and chypres. I love Rochas Femme and yes, it's a plum fruity chypre. I think it does smell peachy and it's the use of Prunol that gives it that particular fruity aroma and it's so sexy and lovely. Find your self a vintage bottle! I just ordered Francesca Bianchi, Under My Skin, and can't wait to smell it :o) oxJulia
Hi Julia, it's so lovely to hear from you. Thank you for sharing! I do hope you enjoy Under My Skin 🌹Xo Sam
You look stunning 🤩
Thank you! 🌹Xo Sam
Love Relique D’Amour.
Medicinal scents, yes please!
Omg so looking forward to your video on affordable perfumes!
Me too! Haha... no, in all honesty, it will be quality-approved 🌹Xo Sam
@@MyWorldofFragrance For sure, because you have such an extensive knowledge of ultra-expensive perfumes, it gives you a lot of credibility to talk about the not-so-expensive ones. It's a great move!
@@JMLCK78 Thank you, I appreciate that 🌹
Rochas Femme is a must-try for all perfume lovers...love it. I have to head over to Scent Bar and try Relique d'Amour. Thanks pal!
It is! If you can try it, definitely do. And come back to share your thoughts 🌹Xo Sam
That Vapeurs Diablotines really does grab the attention, a super one👌🏻 And Relique d'Armour so damp and evocative, a beautiful creation. Great stuff Sam and I look forward to the upcoming, very interesting sounding, videos🙌🏻.
I'm glad you enjoy Vapeurs Diablotines as well. Let me know if you fancy a decant - as you can see I have quite a few ml's to finish! 🌹Xo Sam
@@MyWorldofFragrance very kind of you Sam 🙏🏻☺️
Very nice Fils de Joie
lavish finds❤❤❤
Wow these all sound amazing! I was just starting an order of Papillon samples yesterday from Lucky!
Delicious Delights tried that Sous Le Manteau fragrance last year and also loved it! I want it! And to try the SL ones and Habanita!
I agree about reviews. Some of us are so different! Today I am wearing a bizarre one I ADORE called Fleur Poudrée de Musc by Les Néréides which I for some reason have collected.. and people were dissing this! But it’s sharp in an awesome way, a little old fashioned and also a bit naughty. I hope you will get to try it too:-)
That's interesting! I would like to try that Fleur Poudrée de Musc by the name alone 🌹Xo Sam
Hi Sam, great to see you again!
Lovely to see you here! 🌹Xo Sam
seriously you've got me so intrigued about Relique D’Amour - Oriza L. Legrand that I picked this up from LuckyScent …never thought I'd be so excited about wet rocks and mold, but you've done it again!
Oh wow! What do you think of it?? I hope you love it 🌹Xo Sam
@@MyWorldofFragrance It arrived from LuckyScent w a broken atomizer so waiting for my replacement. Luckily I got a sample and really like it! It’s artistic, and conceptual, yet wearable. And yes, it smells of wet rocks, stone, moss, walls - I’m looking forward to wearing it for those introspective days :)
@@bettybbags oh I'm glad you like it! although a shame that you have to wait for a replacement.
That thumbnail 😍😉
She is such a girly girl.
Sam what does your family think about your fragrance collection ?
She has a video with her sister on the channel and one with her mom.
Only a couple of people in my family have actually seen my fragrance collection. My sister, for one, thinks I'm insane 🌹Xo Sam
@@MyWorldofFragrance Sam I guess we are both insane people 😁
Love your reviews!
Witchy vibes? I'M IN! Also, that would be a dope video idea for October... perfumes with witchy vibes!!!!
I have never watched a video twice but I did yours, that’s how good it is
Awww thank you so much 🥺🌹Xo Sam
I’m a Channel addict, a tip I don’t particularly like no.19, but put no.19 with Chanel No.5 & it smells beautiful.
I love your unique take on fragrances, definitely my favourite fragrance youtuber! I am new to being frag-obsessed and in Australia we have huge markups compared to elsewhere and some things can be hard to get easily. I blind bought Fils de Joie (and La Fille de Berlin) based on your descriptions (and some fragrantica reviews) and oh my god, they are both wonderful, Fils de Joie in particular is perfect for the current warm weather here IMO! I WISH I could get Tubereuse Criminelle but it appears to be discontinued or not available here.
I've been flip-flopping on buying Fils de Joie the past few days! So funny that you would feature it. I'm probably going to have to pick it up now :)
I am ordering a sample.
Wow, coincidence! I hope you get the chance to try a sample. I was sold pretty much at first sniff 🌹Xo Sam
You look beautiful Sam . Glad you are back !
Thank you so much, Deanna. It's good to be back 🌹Xo Sam
Enjoying your content very much. I'm into learning about mysterious perfumes with personality or a story that are off the beaten trail. I'm so over the commercialized versions with their exhaustive "flankers" coming out every week!! Today you gave me the word that has been eluding me "camphorous" to described a perfume I like very much, but that note which I was calling "medicinal" kinda was throwing me off. Elizabeth and James Rose Nirvana. I was lucky to get 3 of their fragrances at Kohl's for next to nothing as they were winding down selling these anymore. It has geranium and that could be the only note giving off that smell. My mom grew them in her garden, they were sweet until you crushed a leaf or petal and that "camphorous" smell would be present. I've had it for over a year and it seems to be mellowing out, or my nose just got used to that note.
Yes, we want camphorous fragrances!
And camphorous fragrances you shall get! 🌹Xo Sam
@@MyWorldofFragrance Musc Ravageur maybe?
@@ShanaGlee Slightly, perhaps. I shall revisit, thank you 🌹
The Chanel 19 bottle is gorgeous!
It is... a jewel to behold 🌹Xo Sam
Watching you is amazing therapy
Reading your comment is equally amazing, thank you! 🌹Xo Sam
