Mine is Under The Lemon Tree by Replica/Margiela. (And I LOVE this line-LOVE) No No No. Pure Lemon Pledge that only lasts 60 seconds and then turns into basic (like SO BASIC) Green Tea. That one shocked me!
Oh no! This is one of my favorites! I only have to spray it once in the morning and lasts my whole work day. All comes down to skin chemistry I suppose.
Perfumes don’t usually last on me but this one does and I LOVE the smell! Different noses and different chemistry for sure! I smell this on my clothes even a couple days later though so that part is weird.
I hate this didn’t work out for you! I hate it when a blind buy doesn’t work out. I really enjoy Terra di Gioia. I agree that there is something about it that reminds me of early 2000’s fragrances. It’s a shampoo-esque almond scent that is an easy reach IMO.
I smelled this perfume last month and loved it. Was going to purchase on the spot but I decided to wait. It wasn't the best performer by the time I got home. it was also too similar to others I own.
I've found that many times perfumes smell really weird when I try them on after they've just arrived. Wait a few days for it to settle and maybe you'll get a better experience.
Sometimes the heat will effect the perfume and it just needs to get back to a good room temperature, and spray it a few times to flush it. I have noticed that the first couple sprays can smell different from the perfume entirely. Weird but this just happened with Yara Moi. Thankfully it smelled different after I sprayed out the first few sprays.
@@charmedbymeghanI spoke to a perfumer about this and he explained it to me basically that the heat breaks up the molecules in the perfume so it makes sense to let it sit and settle for some time and let everything go back together. Weird but 💯 accurate!
@a.b.2826 for example I hated Love Don’t be Shy the first 3-5 times I tried it. Sprayed it today and fell head over heals in love. So much so that I tracked down a pre 2019 bottle with the black label and paid through the roof for it. So it’s not bs. This is our experience with perfume. Just because it isn’t yours doesn’t make it is bs.
I had terra di gioia and gave it away bc something smelled off. I repurchased it and now I’m loving it again. Go figure. Lol I also find it was fairly strong.
Sigh . . . I miss Sensi. That was such a beautiful scent. I hate when blind buys go sour. So much anticipation! And then . . . yuck. Better luck next time!
I would've bought that too by the notes, Sarah -- so sorry it didn't work. Dirty sweet skin! I know just what you mean! Blind buys scare me. I so want to try Angel and Alien but don't have the money to do so right now. I gave my sister-in-law a bunch of blind buys that didn't work on me (Sung, can't remember what else) and told her just go easy till she decided what she thought. She rarely wore perfume but loved coming in and trying mine! If she were still alive I would give her the Mugler as a gift if it didn't work for me. Who knows, might be able to do it someday and will love it.
I almost picked that up when it was on sale at Macy’s. I was watching and Sybil boy said “Oh Sarah” when you said you paid full price! We all make those mistakes sometimes thanks for saving the rest of us.
I didn’t enjoy this one on its own at all, but, use it to layer and surprisingly found it works really well to pull out notes in other fragrances. If you can’t get your money back, you may be able to salvage it.
Hey, try to give them some weeks to mature . Very often after the interaction with oxygen fragrances changes in better way , the fragrance change and also the performance become better .
Well, darn! Those notes do sound nice, but I need fragrances to last more than four hours. Sounds like your hormones may be changing or something, to have several fragrances change on you in addition to this disappointment. I'm sorry, Sarah! ~Cynthia
Hi Sarah! Too bad it didn’t work out, especially when waiting so long to decide on trying it. Could you return it to Ulta? Being from Canada I don’t shop there so don’t know their return policy. Also, love your makeup and headband. 💕
You can return the perfume if you really need to. Ulta takes returns up to 60 days after receiving them. I've had to before. I try to resell to make back most of my $$$, if possible but if that doesn't work out - I've returned. 😕
I just had a major blind buy fail too. A expensive one. Les Indemodables Vanille Havane. I thought based off the notes I would love it and I absolutely do not. Such a disappointment 😢
@@SarahMayes The worst. Especially when it’s a expensive one or one you pay full price for like you did. Not that it will make me stop. I enjoy the excitement of a good blind buy. The suspense that builds as you wait for it to arrive. That secret thrill and “will I like it or not” feeling is kind of addicting haha. Only us weirdos in the frag community can relate 😁
Hey Sarah! Bummer...that sucks. Can you just return it to Ulta? 60 day window and as long as there's no more than 20% used, you'll get all of your $ back. I have one I'm about to return to Ulta. Nemat Vanilla oil. I can BARELY smell it. Too Many vanilla oils out there with better performance to keep one that doesn't work. Hope you can return it!! ❤
Hi Love! I do think I am going to return it to Ulta. I’m threw the paper that came in the order away so I’m not sure they will take it but I’m going to try. ❤️
Ouuu I looove terra 🧡 I emptied my bottle. I wore this primarily on my clothing though.
I despise when perfumes don't last. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Sarah we’ve all had experiences like this on blind buys. I’ve chosen to stop blind buying and get samples as much as possible.

Ocean di gioa is good, a great fresh pear scent.😊

Same. Nowadays I just spray them a little then give them a month or so. Works every time
@a.b.2826 speak for yourself and not for others. Don't tell others what won't work for them if they specifically stated the opposite

Hi Sarah
Probably the pear! I remember Pear glazed from Victoria Secret!
Such a shame, it's happened to me a couple of times, always disappointing 😢
i am so glad you reveiwed this because i was also doubting it and this is confirmation so thank you
I had terra di gioia and gave it away bc something smelled off. I repurchased it and now I’m loving it again. Go figure. Lol I also find it was fairly strong.

A few months ago Macy’s had this for 50% off so I gave it a try. I hated it but was able to return it to Macy’s for a full refund.
Thank you! Just return it😊

Thats too bad the Terra Di Gioia didnt last on you. Maybe a bad batch? I absolutely adore this one❤ It lasts all day on my skjn and clothes as well!
I wanted to badly to collect all of those beautiful bottles in that line and hated all of them 😢
I don't like that terra di gioa scent either.cant you return it?😮
I didn’t enjoy this one on its own at all, but, use it to layer and surprisingly found it works really well to pull out notes in other fragrances. If you can’t get your money back, you may be able to salvage it.
I was feeling sad yesterday because I bought perfumes that didn’t work out for me either :( now I have to find them new homes
I hate when it happens. 😭

Oh, Sensi was once nice I remember.
I luckily found Sensi recently, smells amazing.

When something has amber wood I think it might be similar to Dior Dune. That’s a bummer it doesn’t last.
I haven’t had very many blindbuy fails…..but when I do, they are colossal fails!
Why don’t you return it instead of taking a loss on it?
Thanks for sharing ❤
❤️❤️❤️
Îs not massive is just one perfume fail. I was also recently disapointed by a blind buy of two perfumes. Congrats for your video and keep going!
I bought Swiss Arabian Shagaf oud as a blind buy..... Mistake..,huge mistake. Sharp oud and awful really really horrible scent.
Hi beautiful 😍 I'm here watching ❤ catching up now tfs❤
❤️❤️❤️

That's a shame. Sounded like it had potential. :/
I don't like most from the Giorgio Armani house.
