great review, enjoyed learning about the history behind the perfume! I also expected this to be powdery, because of the pink bow! lol Blinds buys are tricky. hope you'll like it in time. 💖
I decluttered it awhile ago. 😊 I really wanted to like it, but unfortunately it was not for me. I am on a no buy now, and really trying to be mindful with what and how many perfumes I own.
@@AckGirl hey we have the same resolution here I finally open the bottle last night though i bought it in a while. I kinda get it why you don’t like it, it opens up beautifully yet the dry down is so ambroxan masculine smell.. Which we don’t expect the smell to turn out that way, am I right?
I am desperate to know... I’ve read it smells like Chanel Chance Eau Tendre, which I have. I would love to know because I don’t want to drop hundreds on a dupe 🙄
It is a floral musk with good longevity, and one of the more popular of Penhaligon’s recent releases. To me, it seems strong. However, I prefer softer scents in general, I hope this helps 💕
@@AckGirl Oh well, I went ahead and ordered it, it’s a gift from my fiancé. I will let you know if it smells like Chanel Chance Eau Tendre EDP., I do hope it doesn’t. I’ve also read that Penhaligon’s Empressa smells like Coco Mademoiselle (for which Miss Dior is a total dupe). I have tried many perfumes that smell alike lately 🤔 Sorry for the long post, I can talk about perfume for hours 🙂 I’ve subscribed to your channel 💐
Bella, I hope you love it! :) For me, Empressa is a lovely scent with the peach note and more creamy than Coco Mademoiselle, but I see the likeness for sure! Welcome to the channel 💕
I’m obsessed with it. I think it is powdery and soft for sure...at least on me
powdery and classy with a PUNCH! that is unique... :D they should have put a black velvet bow on it... :)
Yes! Or maybe a deep red :)
It’s definitely powdery and for some reason it smells like pickles on me. Oh well I’ll have to try other scents from the line. Great review!
Thank you so much! I like Artemisia and Empressa - definitely worth a sample if you have not already 💕

Thank you! I hope so too :)
Hows your current experience with the Favourite? Still like it?

@@mintolive8253 On my gosh, You are exactly right!! Love the opening and then it all goes downhill for me! I don’t care for ambergris at all :)
@@AckGirl me too 🥲
Loved this video! I’m gonna sample this soon

Hi, unfortunately I have not tried chance eau tendre, so I can’t compare. In addition to Freesia, I find this one heavy on musk as well...
