I appreciate you acknowledging that fragrance preference is different from person to person. For example, just because a RUclipsr with a big platform loves BR540, doesn’t mean I have to or should feel weird for not loving it the same.
I love Versace crystal noir! But I also love this video even though you don't like it! Like come on haters, we don't all have the same nose or skin chemistry!
Everyone has their opinion. I respect yours. I do love Lira and I had never heard any hype prior to purchasing it, I have my complaints with the projection but that is it. And I love lychee on Delina, which is why I bought it. Everyone's experiences shape what they find appealing.
I completely agree with your opinion of Delina, I just cannot get why everybody raves about it so much. To me, it's exactly as you said, a "nice" fragrance that should cost half of what it does - at most.
Great Video! I appreciate your honesty. I blind bought Versace Crystal Noir EDP a few months ago and hated it the moment I put my nose to it! I was pretty bummed about it because I read so many great reviews. Something about it pinched my nose and was almost nauseating to me. For three weeks it stayed on my vanity and I would smell it periodically (still hating it.) then one day I picked it up, smelled it and my nose didn’t get that pinchy note anymore, didn’t make me sick and it has now become one of my favorites! I was told sometimes perfumes need to “age” a bit. I do recall several times going into Sephora, smelling a tester and loving it just for the perfume to smell slightly different at home fresh out the box.
I feel exactly the same way about Delina! Some days the sourness reminds me of the taste of sweat on my face and the first time that happened I thought it had gone rancid, but other days the sourness isn't there at all and it's such a lovely, clean scent. I was worried if it was just my bottle at first!
I don’t understand why people get so offended about disliking their fave fragrances. Fragrance is so subjective.. we will all feel differently . And I agree on good girl smells so generic and nothing special. I love your recommendations been watching your vids!! I curious now about Chanel no5 l’eau and pure poison Dior.Do you find they last? 🥰💝 xx
Totally agree with you about Instant Crush and Delina. The only time of year that Delina actually works on me is in deep winter; any other time it just smells like rotten fruit and potpourri 😫
Wonderful reviews, so straight to the point . I absolutely HATE Delina and BR540. Tried them both and cannot gel with them at all. Total waste of money for harsh smelling, chemical 'high end' fragrance. They actually made me feel so nauseated, I tried very hard , went back to them several times !! Spot on every time, love your channel and thanks for posting these great reviews ! xx
I like Delina and I agree that sometimes it’s too sharp. La Rosee is a love for me despite most RUclipsrs telling us to stick to the original. Sorry, but La Rosee smells better than the original to me. Unfortunately, my nose hates the Exclusiv. I tried so hard to like it, but I couldn’t get with that one. And don’t even get me started on BR540. Tried to love it, but it makes me physically sick.
Yesterday I've got a sample of Xerjoff Lira and I was so excited to try it out! After all YT reviews my expectations were super high. I didn't like the smell, it was too sweet and suffocating. I was feeling dizzy and had to change my t-shirt. I'll give it another try when it gets colder
I do so love the Chrystal Nior, it lifts my mood and makes me have such a great sense of well being. The only other one I have tried is the Delina and couldn't imagine why the hype is so big.
I have the same problem with Delina - on a good day it's a refreshing rose, but some other days it turns sour and the smell can be irritating... that's a weird one for sure. Also thank you for mentioning Crystal Noir, it feels like everybody loves that one but honestly it's a bit of a mess lol
I bought both dolce n gabbana The Only One, and the original Black Opium. Both are similar, but the black opium is better. Has a spiciness and complexity that the plainer The Only One doesnt have. The latter one is more softer and has caramel. I wear both tho. 🤗
I love Crystal Noir EDP In me is like a creamy coconut, not to sweet and sooo sexy. The only black opium I like is nuit blanche But I hate poison girl - too sweet.
I used to love good girl. A friend gifted it to me. I wore it a few times and was just over it. It’s so strong to my nose. I’m glad you’re keeping it real. I see a lot of reviewers hype up fragrances and then months later say don’t buy this, worst fragrance ever without acknowledging they used to promote it. Same with black opium. Apparently there’s an extreme version. Curious how it stands out against the way too many flankers.
Im so with you Yana!! Delina gives me this sharp scent that I can't stand! I was starting to think that I was the only one that didn't like it! I'm so happy that I found someone (a youtuber) who has the same taste as me!!! I bought Mon Guerlain Bloom of Roses EDT last year and it's my absolute FAV!!!
Not offended in the least, I agree with you on all the ones I've tried off this list, especially Good Girl, but I actually love Delina. I didn't think I would though, I hated rose and I still kinda hate fruity tart notes, but I've started loving rose lately and Delina is literally addictive to me. Plus, it's not popular in my area, everyone is just into designer perfumes and don't really know much about niche perfumery so it stands out. I'm using it as my summer fragrance at the minute and plan to use either Oud Satin Mood or Portrait of a Lady in the colder weather so I can still get my fix of rose. I haven't tried the other Delinas but I want to.
for crystal noir you definitely tried the EDP from your description of the smell,. Unlike the EDP the EDT doesn’t have coconut or pepper or cardamom. They smell so so different so I really recommend you try the EDT one ! I think it’s the one that is popular
I cannot do Delina either. I totally agree.too tart for my nose.lol. singes my nose hairs lol. Oud bouquet is another one i don't like either. And I'm not offended by Crystal noir but i love it. The "edt" version though. Its the musk that i lov so much. Anyway great video.
Good girl gives me a skull busting headache. I could never wear it. Gave the whole bottle away. And you are correct with Black Opium. I purchased it at Ulta. Opened it up in the parking lot and went right back inside to return it lol
@@luciaanghel3811 I blind bought good girl because I had a knock off version that I loved so I assumed the real thing would work just the same. It did not lol. And I did test black opium but only a paper strip. It smells totally different on my body. It was an awful scent to me. I have no regrets about returning it lol
@@accesstotheredcarpet Everyone raves about that one too. I saw it at TJMAXX for $20 but I'm not sure I should invest in it. A lot of these youtube loves, I don't seem to like
I totally agree with Good Girl, Black Opium, Crystal Noir and Delina! The rest I haven't smelled. I would add Coco Mademoiselle and La Vie Est Belle to my list.
I used to love Crystal Noir, but for some reason one day I smelled it and was so put off by its gardenia and coconut that I had to sell it immediately. My favorite "cool ginger-y" fragrance is the original Bvlgari Omnia (the one with the ginger and chai notes); it gives me that same ginger spicy smell but without the odd notes
I totally agree about Instant Crush, I bought a sample after hearing good things and it was a hard no for me. I also agree with you about Versace Crystal Noir, it was a scrubber for me as well. The regular Delina is too sharp for me, much prefer Delina Exclusif but not enough to pull the trigger on a bottle. It seems our tastes are similar.
I'm glad we are in the same boat about Versace Crystal Noir. Reminds me also with Jo Malone Black Amber Ginger Lily but different.. For me I can do Crystal Noir but only for house fragrance, I'm gonna be like it I think. Not for my body fragrance. Also.. the other brand with similarity with these two : Rituals Jing. Rituals kinda The Body Shop, Yves Rocher, Lush, Bath Body Works, etc.
I also don’t vibez with Carolina Herrera Good Girl - too strong for me, irritates my nose. I tried to like it but shame I have a full bottle, good that I got it as a present. I also don’t like most mancera products, you describe the plasticky smell correctly. I love my delina though😉. Great review.
Ugh, I feel you on the instant crush. So glad I only got the sample & not a whole bottle. Gives me a horrible weird headache. Not a huge fan of Mancera or Montale tbh. All smell extra extra synthetic.
Totally agree with all of the ones that I have smelled! Can't stand Instant Crush, can't stand Lira, it goes straight to a boring vanilla on me immediately, not a fan of Delina, that one just reminds me of all those Escada perfumes from like 15 yrs ago. Also don't like Black Opium! Thank you for your honesty!
It’s funny how you describe the fragrances 🤣🤣🤣 I like that you don’t try to filter the words when talking about perfumes and this is what we need. As always I like your video ❤️❤️
Thanks Mila! So nice to see you here, I love your channel I'll have to try the EDT, so many people (including you) are saying it's better. I definitely trust your taste so it must have been the EDP I tried.
What a fun video! I feel the same way about all your choices, especially Instant Crush. Oh my gosh, I really don’t understand that one. It’s so unrefined and poorly blended. “Baccarat gone wrong” made me laugh 😂
Hi Yana! Just now sitting down to watch. I would love to see a home decor tour video. I get to see snippets of it in the background of other videos and everything looks so classy and elegant and tastefully decorated! If showing your home is too personal I totally understand, but honestly I would LOVE to see more, especially how you select pieces, how you come up with a design or theme for each room, maybe some tips on how we can better design our own homes, etc. You look beautiful as always, btw!
At last, somebody who doesn’t get along with Crystal Noir. It is so hyped on YT. I bought the edp and I can’t bear the fragrance in me. Fortunately I could declutter it to a close friend who loves it. It does smell different on her.
Omg I was thinking of blind buying delina but then this video came and yes I hate aaaaaaall the fragrances you mentioned (I would add la vie est belle). You saved me some money dear!
@Anaïs Beauvilliers sad but true. Some will do anything for to be on a PR list. But once that happens i unfollow bcuz most Times it won’t be honest reviews .
Yana, your honesty and sarcasm is 2 of the traits I love about you. I am the same way about everything, not just perfume. I’ve always been this way (probably because my Ma was) and I’ve pissed off a lot of people in my 66 years by being honest. My intentions aren’t to hurt someone but if you ask my opinion or advice about something I’m going to tell you the truth. If you don’t want to know, please don’t ask me! I truly don’t understand why people would get upset because you don’t like a perfume. All of us have different chemistry land we also like different smells. If that wasn’t the case all perfume, clothing, hair styles etc would be the same which would be so boring. Enough of my rant……..girl you just keep doing you!❤️🌻❤️💐❤️
Completely agree with you on Delina, Crystal Noir, and Oud Bouquet. Everyone hypes them so much then when I sampled them I was so confused! Don’t get it 😷
I think u had the edp version of versace crystal noir. I think u should try the edt one and tell us what u think about it. I have it and it smells so good (no where near spiciy) and also it lasts foreverrr! 😍
I can see were some folks may be upset at you saying that a particular perfume is horrible, cheap etc. Perfume is a very personal thing and reacts differently to one's body chemistry. I personally love Good Girl, I find it to be sexy, a little dark and alluring. I also like that it's not a wimpy quiet perfume😘 Foody gourmands are not for me, I don't want to smell like dessert. I recently sampled a cookie notes frag that came highly recommended... It was a no for me, I don't want to angel like cookies. My daughter loved it though and I'm getting it for her for Xmas. Also most Guerlains smell like absolutely nothing to be, agnosmic😐
None of my perfumes are what you would describe as wimpy and quiet, I like people to smell my perfume from 20ft away minimum but Good Girl is just horrific. It's not how strong it is, that's it's only pro for me, it's the smell itself. I really thought I'd like it based off the notes, it looks great on paper, but it doesn't work in real life. On skin, paper, other people, in the air, I just hate it. Dark and vampy are not what springs to mind when I smell it. I wish I could smell what you do with it, but if anything I prefer Bad Boy, GG smells more masculine to me. There's a theory it was made for men but they slapped it in a high heel shoes and marketed it at women. I can see that being true.
I just bought the discovery set from Parfums de Marly. I hate Delina and Delina Exclusif. Everybody says it is a fresh, green, rose scent. For me they are suffocating. They smell Old and dusty. I hâd to wash it off before going to bed because it was suffocating me. On the other hand i kind of love Athalia. Very surprising for me.
I am so with you on basically all of those, I really hated Instant Crush and Lira. Full agreement BUT Oud Bouqet is one of my favourites, truth to be told, however, I don't wear it extemly often, because it can, indeed be very overwhelming.
Hey! Love your videos! So I was looking for a Slightly sweet lemon dessert or custard dessert or pastry scent and someone recommended me to try the Lemmon cake one that you mentioned in this video but I think we have similar taste so I don’t think I’ll like that one so do you know of any other ones similar and more elegant that I would like? And not mainstream? Thanks 😊
@@Summerdew123 I like Alien Fusion. Nice fragrance. I keep trying to like Alien more. Smells like synthetic eucalyptus on me. Dries to something slightly more pleasant, then disappears. I went on a Mugler buying spree and purchased 8 Alien and Angel flankers as well. I strongly prefer the Angel flankers, especially Eau Croisiere 2019. I also joined the Mugler "circle" and have received the original Alien body lotion, moisturizing cream, and a travel spray as gifts. So I wish I enjoyed Alien more to wear on its own. I do enjoy layering it with woody or rose fragrances.
I just commented, but now I wanna ask if you like Blvgari Omnia Cyrstalline? I LOVE it as a non-offensive, light yet sophisticated smell. I can't understand why I don't hardly ever see reviews on it. Also- I'm not big into florals but Cartier Baiser Vole is simply beautifulllll! Do u like these?? I love your hate perfume videos! Keep em coming!
Yes I love Omnia crystalline 🥰 I mentioned it a couple of times. I'll have to get my nose on the original Baiser Vole, I only have the Lys Rose flanker which is also lovely!
I can't with Oud Bouquet either. I don't get it. Like, AT ALL. And CH GG traumatized me. It's why I'm on RUclips. BUT. I love my Black Opium for sure! I WANT to smell like a frappucino. ❤️ I heard VCanto Lucrethia is supposed to be like it but better. I'm interested. Crystal Noire took me a long time to appreciate, but I do like it now. Lira is my FAVOURITE right now. Soooo yummy! And Delina is my other favourite. I love how we're all so different. 😻 You're so lovely. You put me on to Oil Perfumery, and for that I'm eternally grateful. Xo
I so agree on Crystal Noir. At first I really liked it but all of a sudden it did a 180 and it smells... hot... on me? So weird. It hurts my nose. Not for me.
I have CH Good Hirl Legere and its sexy but it does not linger it just evaporates. The YSL Black Opium is just not a compliment- getter. It's a sorry scent.
Thanks for your honesty! It’s wonderful there are so many picks for different noses. I did purchase the Guerlain la petite robe noir eau fraiche, because of your review. Love it!!!! Anything gorgeously lovely 🥰
I have the Delina exclusif and it was not mindblowing for me at all.It is just okey.The original i haven’t try’d .Yana,you should try STILL LIFE IN RIO😊It is a tru summervibe perfum🥰
Hi Yana! I just found your channel, watched your video and instantly subscribed! Love your descriptions! I feel the exact same way about Good Girl, Black Opium and Versace Crystal Noir! I’m about to buy a bunch of samples from luckyscent and Lira is on my list. I’ll scratch that one but I’m wondering if you’ve sampled Xerjoff’s Italica? Going to watch some of your videos now!🤗
Thank you so much! 🥰 I've never tried Italica but I hear good things! It might still be worth sampling Lira just for fun, as long as you're not jumping in on a full bottle blindly
@@chandracox6814 I’m scratching Lira from my list because when I recently discovered Yana’s channel, I realized we have very similar tastes in fragrance. My sample list is out of control and if I can save a little money then I certainly will! I do not want to smell like a lemon dessert so why would I try it?? I watch fragrance channels simply because I enjoy fragrance but I have my own mind and my own opinions which are very strong!
All right, so I have met my perfume twin in you 😘👃👭 I also do not like C. H. Good girl, Black Opium, Delina, but I would add JHSG Not a perfume, Escentric Molecules Molecule 3, Laboratorio Olfattivo: Alkemi, Alambar & Nirmal, Nishane Ani, Cartiere Eau, Armani Code & Si, Lancome La vie est belle, ... Yesterday I wrote I was testing Chanel No. 5, I think I like it now a lot, but I couldn't stand it. I did it because I listened to you. Now I know I must listen to you, because we probably have similar chemistry 🤭
BR540 just makes me smell sweaty... BR540 extrait however is excellent on my skin.. wish i have a bottle. i only had a 3 ml decant that i already used lol
Agreed about black opium, oud bouquet, good girl, crystal noir and even lira, I don't like the drydown... nope, and I absolutely dislike delina as well moreover ii cannot handle aventus for her, initio side effect, Malone pomegranate noir and some others....
That's why I always say any perfume you get start with one spray and go from there.instant crush half a spray is more than enough,it will smell really good
Agree with everything, except lira, because I haven't smelled it :p xD good girl smells ok. Nothing great about it. I have it but I'm not wow-ed by it 🙄 Original delina is also just ok. Exclusif is much better. It's got more depth. Crystal noir didn't smell nice to me AT ALL. I don't know why, I couldn't get any coconut notes from it. I got only spicy notes. 😩
I haven’t tried Black Opium bu I agree with you on the others… I have one I cannot stand on me. And I tried and so wanted to like it- Gypsy Water- Byredo. It smells like men’s nasty BO on my skin! 🤢 seriously.
Instant Crush is weird. Some days I like it, others I regret putting it on. The thing is I’m not a huge fan of the BR540 DNA, so at first I liked how Instant Crush took that and made it creamier. But the problem is Mancera always using that freaking white musk in everything. Some people say BR540 smells very sterilized like a doctors office, well Instant Crush smells like a sterilized bakery. Like you catch hints of all the delicious pastries, but they just did a deep clean so the smell of cleaning chemicals are overpowering everything.
I recently sold my bottle of Jo Malone Dark Amber and Ginger because of the absolute lack of longevity on my skin. Then I came across the Versace Crystal Noir edt (never smelled EDP), and it smells almost identical to the Jo Malone on me - and actually lasts! It allegedly doesn’t contain coconut anymore. I was pleasantly surprised! I agree completely about Good Girl, though. I also strongly dislike Coco Mademoiselle, Flowerbomb, and, on me, Mon Guerlain. So, yeah, there are some beloved ones I hate, too.
I just tried Lira a few weeks ago because of the hype and I also hated it. I actually just bought full bottle of Italica and I love it lightly layered with 540 extrait because the almond notes pair really well together and the projection and power of it are so pale in comparison to 540. I tried Italica with lost cherry and it smelled amazing BUT I literally smelled like a 5 year old girl and I’m with you, I don’t want to smell like a pop tart 😂😂
So my super unpopular opinion is I hate Delina Exclusif but love Delina. There's something in the drydown of Exclusif I hate so much. I bought a sample and I could only stand to wear it once. Agree with you completely on Good Girl though.
Thank you for your honesty. I agree with you about most of them . The fragrances that I hated: BR 540 Mancera choco violet Italica Kilian Rolling in love .
You might be my fragrance soul sister. Tried most on your list and I agree with all. I will say, I brought Lira in the spring because of the hype and because it sounds like something I should love but nope! But it really isn't a warm weather frag so I'll try again in the fall.
I’m glad you said it about oud because I know exactly what you mean 😂 I had a sample of an oud perfume and when it’s bad it’s bad. I sprayed it and thought “this smells like my grandmother’s old knitting basket,” that old kind of damp wood smell. Glad I’m not the only one who identifies it as that
I appreciate you acknowledging that fragrance preference is different from person to person. For example, just because a RUclipsr with a big platform loves BR540, doesn’t mean I have to or should feel weird for not loving it the same.
Absolutely! Everyone has different tastes and are sensitive to different notes or chemicals
My unpopular opinion: I hate Baccarat Rouge on me. I tried SO hard to love it, but for that price?- I shouldn't have to try, at all, lol
what are your favorites
Me too!! I find myself liking the dupes Better than the original.
Totally agree with you. 💥
Sameee
It smells like latex or bandaids to me 🙁
I love Versace crystal noir! But I also love this video even though you don't like it! Like come on haters, we don't all have the same nose or skin chemistry!

I love watching these types of videos in juxtaposition to videos by Jeremy Fragrance. It helps getting different perspectives.
I'm so glad you chose 'violence' as the theme for this video 🤣❤️
Lol it's my favourite theme
🤣🤣

I also don’t vibez with Carolina Herrera Good Girl - too strong for me, irritates my nose. I tried to like it but shame I have a full bottle, good that I got it as a present. I also don’t like most mancera products, you describe the plasticky smell correctly. I love my delina though😉. Great review.
Delina is too sharp. I'm so happy that I only got the travel set. It should come with a warning label "Will cause headaches".
I agree! I get occasional headaches with it
I don’t get the sexy dry down on my skin that people are talking about ,the rhubarb is very tart .
Ugh, I feel you on the instant crush. So glad I only got the sample & not a whole bottle. Gives me a horrible weird headache. Not a huge fan of Mancera or Montale tbh. All smell extra extra synthetic.
Girl. With you on Oud Bouquet. Your description is spot on.
Totally agree with all of the ones that I have smelled! Can't stand Instant Crush, can't stand Lira, it goes straight to a boring vanilla on me immediately, not a fan of Delina, that one just reminds me of all those Escada perfumes from like 15 yrs ago. Also don't like Black Opium! Thank you for your honesty!
It’s funny how you describe the fragrances 🤣🤣🤣 I like that you don’t try to filter the words when talking about perfumes and this is what we need.
As always I like your video ❤️❤️
😂 Thank you! I don't know how to filter lol
Hello beautiful! Loved this video! Try the Crystal Noir EDT I don’t think it has coconut, I don’t like the the coconut in the EDP make it soapy, X
Thanks Mila! So nice to see you here, I love your channel
I'll have to try the EDT, so many people (including you) are saying it's better. I definitely trust your taste so it must have been the EDP I tried.
What a fun video! I feel the same way about all your choices, especially Instant Crush. Oh my gosh, I really don’t understand that one. It’s so unrefined and poorly blended. “Baccarat gone wrong” made me laugh 😂
I love your honesty.
Lol I absolutely love Instant Crush. Versace noir smells like an expensive bug spray to me and I also dislike Delina but all the time!
I agree with you about the Delina. I really don't like the sharp note. I was kinda disappointed that I didn't I like it.
We may have the same nose.
One of my favs is bal D’afrique! I hate hate instant crush and I agree that black opium and good girl are a no as well!
Hi Yana! Just now sitting down to watch.
I would love to see a home decor tour video. I get to see snippets of it in the background of other videos and everything looks so classy and elegant and tastefully decorated! If showing your home is too personal I totally understand, but honestly I would LOVE to see more, especially how you select pieces, how you come up with a design or theme for each room, maybe some tips on how we can better design our own homes, etc.
You look beautiful as always, btw!
Yes! Very neat and cozy!
Thank you so much! I could definitely do that, I'm thinking I might do random vlogs every now and again and I could do a little home tour 🥰
At last, somebody who doesn’t get along with Crystal Noir. It is so hyped on YT. I bought the edp and I can’t bear the fragrance in me. Fortunately I could declutter it to a close friend who loves it. It does smell different on her.
Omg I was thinking of blind buying delina but then this video came and yes I hate aaaaaaall the fragrances you mentioned (I would add la vie est belle). You saved me some money dear!
Yes I agree with la vie est belle too, but I recently bashed it in another video 🤭
@@TheScented aww so kind of you 😹😹
🤣🙈
I ❤❤❤ good girl, it works well on me. I❤❤❤ black opium my only issue is longevity doesn't last on me. Instant crush works for me it pulls sweet on me.
I feel that way about all the keyali fragrances. They’re ok but nothing special and people hype them. Specially that horrendous pink bottle 🤣🤣
I have never tried any Kayali but I have a feeling that I will feel the same way too.
@Anaïs Beauvilliers sad but true. Some will do anything for to be on a PR list. But once that happens i unfollow bcuz most Times it won’t be honest reviews .
That vanilla in there, irk..🤧 the confectionery kind that sits so heavy on skin. Reminds me more of those cheap home fragrance stuff.
Yana, your honesty and sarcasm is 2 of the traits I love about you. I am the same way about everything, not just perfume. I’ve always been this way (probably because my Ma was) and I’ve pissed off a lot of people in my 66 years by being honest. My intentions aren’t to hurt someone but if you ask my opinion or advice about something I’m going to tell you the truth. If you don’t want to know, please don’t ask me! I truly don’t understand why people would get upset because you don’t like a perfume. All of us have different chemistry land we also like different smells. If that wasn’t the case all perfume, clothing, hair styles etc would be the same which would be so boring. Enough of my rant……..girl you just keep doing you!❤️🌻❤️💐❤️
Completely agree with you on Delina, Crystal Noir, and Oud Bouquet. Everyone hypes them so much then when I sampled them I was so confused! Don’t get it 😷
I think u had the edp version of versace crystal noir. I think u should try the edt one and tell us what u think about it. I have it and it smells so good (no where near spiciy) and also it lasts foreverrr! 😍
I'll have to give it a try!
Totally agree with all of them, really!
I can see were some folks may be upset at you saying that a particular perfume is horrible, cheap etc. Perfume is a very personal thing and reacts differently to one's body chemistry.
I personally love Good Girl, I find it to be sexy, a little dark and alluring. I also like that it's not a wimpy quiet perfume😘
Foody gourmands are not for me, I don't want to smell like dessert. I recently sampled a cookie notes frag that came highly recommended... It was a no for me, I don't want to angel like cookies. My daughter loved it though and I'm getting it for her for Xmas.
Also most Guerlains smell like absolutely nothing to be, agnosmic😐
None of my perfumes are what you would describe as wimpy and quiet, I like people to smell my perfume from 20ft away minimum but Good Girl is just horrific. It's not how strong it is, that's it's only pro for me, it's the smell itself. I really thought I'd like it based off the notes, it looks great on paper, but it doesn't work in real life. On skin, paper, other people, in the air, I just hate it. Dark and vampy are not what springs to mind when I smell it. I wish I could smell what you do with it, but if anything I prefer Bad Boy, GG smells more masculine to me. There's a theory it was made for men but they slapped it in a high heel shoes and marketed it at women. I can see that being true.
I just bought the discovery set from Parfums de Marly. I hate Delina and Delina Exclusif. Everybody says it is a fresh, green, rose scent. For me they are suffocating. They smell Old and dusty. I hâd to wash it off before going to bed because it was suffocating me. On the other hand i kind of love Athalia. Very surprising for me.
Haha i actually agree with all but 2 of these but i would never get affended its hilarious. These are my favorite kinds of videos!
I am so with you on basically all of those, I really hated Instant Crush and Lira. Full agreement BUT Oud Bouqet is one of my favourites, truth to be told, however, I don't wear it extemly often, because it can, indeed be very overwhelming.
Hey! Love your videos! So I was looking for a Slightly sweet lemon dessert or custard dessert or pastry scent and someone recommended me to try the Lemmon cake one that you mentioned in this video but I think we have similar taste so I don’t think I’ll like that one so do you know of any other ones similar and more elegant that I would like? And not mainstream? Thanks 😊
Have you tried Tom Ford soleil neige? I find that to be a fluffy, sweet, but not gourmandy lemon meringue-like scent
Perfumes I‘m not keen of: Intense Cafe, La vie est belle, Alien, Si (too sweet)
Yeeeees same! Add Dior Addict and Versace Crystal (all of them) and that's my list to the T.
I have three of them! 😅
La vie est Belle was mine too gave it away.
@@Summerdew123 I like Alien Fusion. Nice fragrance. I keep trying to like Alien more. Smells like synthetic eucalyptus on me. Dries to something slightly more pleasant, then disappears. I went on a Mugler buying spree and purchased 8 Alien and Angel flankers as well. I strongly prefer the Angel flankers, especially Eau Croisiere 2019. I also joined the Mugler "circle" and have received the original Alien body lotion, moisturizing cream, and a travel spray as gifts. So I wish I enjoyed Alien more to wear on its own. I do enjoy layering it with woody or rose fragrances.
@@Summerdew123 I bought a travel spray of Alien Musc and I'm unimpressed and will pass on buying a full bottle. It reminds me of Youth Dew.
I am with you on Delina. The Rose in it is what gets me. I just can’t…
I can't smell the rose in Delina at all. All I smell is the extremely sharp rhubarb...which my nose translates to cat pee/nail polish remover.
@@stellarose5887 Same here, but to me the rhubarb comes off mildewy. EEWWW...
Controversial* ❤️ loved this vid! Sooo on board with you regarding so many of these!
I just commented, but now I wanna ask if you like Blvgari Omnia Cyrstalline? I LOVE it as a non-offensive, light yet sophisticated smell. I can't understand why I don't hardly ever see reviews on it. Also- I'm not big into florals but Cartier Baiser Vole is simply beautifulllll! Do u like these?? I love your hate perfume videos! Keep em coming!
Yes I love Omnia crystalline 🥰 I mentioned it a couple of times. I'll have to get my nose on the original Baiser Vole, I only have the Lys Rose flanker which is also lovely!
I can't with Oud Bouquet either. I don't get it. Like, AT ALL. And CH GG traumatized me. It's why I'm on RUclips. BUT. I love my Black Opium for sure! I WANT to smell like a frappucino. ❤️ I heard VCanto Lucrethia is supposed to be like it but better. I'm interested. Crystal Noire took me a long time to appreciate, but I do like it now. Lira is my FAVOURITE right now. Soooo yummy! And Delina is my other favourite. I love how we're all so different. 😻 You're so lovely. You put me on to Oil Perfumery, and for that I'm eternally grateful. Xo
I so agree on Crystal Noir. At first I really liked it but all of a sudden it did a 180 and it smells... hot... on me? So weird. It hurts my nose. Not for me.
I feel the same way about delina. I wish I bought the exclusive one.
Delina gives me a massive headache ... I don’t get that one.
@Stephanie J hmmm sounds like I should give it a try to those. Thanks for sharing. I will definitely try this
Ugh good girl is SOOOO hyped and i never understood why!! It’s so nice to hear that you hated it too LOL it chokes me out every time I smell it 😂😭
Haha I'm glad I'm not alone in this!
It took me a few times of wearing it to really enjoy it. To each their own.
It's refreshing to hear honest opinions. I haven't actually smelled any of these except for black opium floral crush .. which I liked😯
I have CH Good Hirl Legere and its sexy but it does not linger it just evaporates. The YSL Black Opium is just not a compliment- getter. It's a sorry scent.
fully agree on not taking perfum taste as a personal insult. Just chill!! And I love your comparison of Instant Crush to Chernobyl. 😀oh this is gold!!
I am not a fan of any of these fragrances. Really , really appreciate your reviews!
Thanks for your honesty! It’s wonderful there are so many picks for different noses. I did purchase the Guerlain la petite robe noir eau fraiche, because of your review. Love it!!!! Anything gorgeously lovely 🥰
I'm so glad you're enjoying that one! ❤️
May I please ask since you enjoy oil perfumery, if you enjoy Delina or Lira in the oils? I find them to smell better in oil form.
I love your videos!
The Delina oil is pretty good but I still hate Lira in the oil version lol
I have the Delina exclusif and it was not mindblowing for me at all.It is just okey.The original i haven’t try’d .Yana,you should try STILL LIFE IN RIO😊It is a tru summervibe perfum🥰
Thanks, I'll have to check it out! 😊
Hi Yana! I just found your channel, watched your video and instantly subscribed! Love your descriptions! I feel the exact same way about Good Girl, Black Opium and Versace Crystal Noir! I’m about to buy a bunch of samples from luckyscent and Lira is on my list. I’ll scratch that one but I’m wondering if you’ve sampled Xerjoff’s Italica? Going to watch some of your videos now!🤗
Thank you so much! 🥰
I've never tried Italica but I hear good things! It might still be worth sampling Lira just for fun, as long as you're not jumping in on a full bottle blindly
Why are you scratching that one from your list based on others opinions?! OMG FORM YOUR OWN!!
@@chandracox6814 I’m scratching Lira from my list because when I recently discovered Yana’s channel, I realized we have very similar tastes in fragrance. My sample list is out of control and if I can save a little money then I certainly will! I do not want to smell like a lemon dessert so why would I try it?? I watch fragrance channels simply because I enjoy fragrance but I have my own mind and my own opinions which are very strong!
Agree 100% with you on all ...except Crystal Noir....I do like that one.....Great video/review!!
For me it’s Tom Ford Eau Soleil Blanc and Aqua Allegoria Coconut Fizz
All right, so I have met my perfume twin in you 😘👃👭 I also do not like C. H. Good girl, Black Opium, Delina, but I would add JHSG Not a perfume, Escentric Molecules Molecule 3, Laboratorio Olfattivo: Alkemi, Alambar & Nirmal, Nishane Ani, Cartiere Eau, Armani Code & Si, Lancome La vie est belle, ... Yesterday I wrote I was testing Chanel No. 5, I think I like it now a lot, but I couldn't stand it. I did it because I listened to you. Now I know I must listen to you, because we probably have similar chemistry 🤭
I'm so glad you gave No.5 another shot! ❤️ 😊
I wanted to love Carolina Herrera also! It smells cheap to me.. also black opium is a no😢
But I do love Versace crystal noir!
Finally some one has same taste i got kayali they are bad and good but they don't last at all
Totally agree, only the last two fragrances I didn’t try yet
BR540 just makes me smell sweaty... BR540 extrait however is excellent on my skin.. wish i have a bottle. i only had a 3 ml decant that i already used lol
Good Girl was a major scrubber for me!
Bought it to try something new and it was a really a mistake 🙄
Try legere
@@L78969 I actually just smelled Legere at the outlet mall perfume shop yesterday & loved it!! So much better than the original!
Agreed about black opium, oud bouquet, good girl, crystal noir and even lira, I don't like the drydown... nope, and I absolutely dislike delina as well moreover ii cannot handle aventus for her, initio side effect, Malone pomegranate noir and some others....
Totally agree on Good Girl, it smells masculine on me.....a big no.
That's why I always say any perfume you get start with one spray and go from there.instant crush half a spray is more than enough,it will smell really good
I love Good Girl and Black Opium. Different strokes for different folks. Still love your videos.
I throw up on classic tresor..Dior addict and Olimpea..P.R.
Etc...great video ..tnxxx
Agree with everything, except lira, because I haven't smelled it :p xD good girl smells ok. Nothing great about it. I have it but I'm not wow-ed by it 🙄 Original delina is also just ok. Exclusif is much better. It's got more depth. Crystal noir didn't smell nice to me AT ALL. I don't know why, I couldn't get any coconut notes from it. I got only spicy notes. 😩
I haven’t tried Black Opium bu I agree with you on the others…
I have one I cannot stand on me. And I tried and so wanted to like it- Gypsy Water- Byredo. It smells like men’s nasty BO on my skin! 🤢 seriously.
Instant Crush is weird. Some days I like it, others I regret putting it on. The thing is I’m not a huge fan of the BR540 DNA, so at first I liked how Instant Crush took that and made it creamier. But the problem is Mancera always using that freaking white musk in everything. Some people say BR540 smells very sterilized like a doctors office, well Instant Crush smells like a sterilized bakery. Like you catch hints of all the delicious pastries, but they just did a deep clean so the smell of cleaning chemicals are overpowering everything.
I recently sold my bottle of Jo Malone Dark Amber and Ginger because of the absolute lack of longevity on my skin. Then I came across the Versace Crystal Noir edt (never smelled EDP), and it smells almost identical to the Jo Malone on me - and actually lasts! It allegedly doesn’t contain coconut anymore. I was pleasantly surprised! I agree completely about Good Girl, though. I also strongly dislike Coco Mademoiselle, Flowerbomb, and, on me, Mon Guerlain. So, yeah, there are some beloved ones I hate, too.
The same with Delina😅 it has an amazing performance, so I tried to love it. But no🤷🏻♀️
Oooff girl!!! This was scandalous!! I like it!! Please do more of these!
Haha thanks 🥰 I will, they're fun to film lol
I just tried Lira a few weeks ago because of the hype and I also hated it. I actually just bought full bottle of Italica and I love it lightly layered with 540 extrait because the almond notes pair really well together and the projection and power of it are so pale in comparison to 540. I tried Italica with lost cherry and it smelled amazing BUT I literally smelled like a 5 year old girl and I’m with you, I don’t want to smell like a pop tart 😂😂
So my super unpopular opinion is I hate Delina Exclusif but love Delina. There's something in the drydown of Exclusif I hate so much. I bought a sample and I could only stand to wear it once.
Agree with you completely on Good Girl though.
great review love to hear your point of view
Thank you for your honesty. I agree with you about most of them .
The fragrances that I hated:
BR 540
Mancera choco violet
Italica
Kilian Rolling in love .
You might be my fragrance soul sister. Tried most on your list and I agree with all. I will say, I brought Lira in the spring because of the hype and because it sounds like something I should love but nope! But it really isn't a warm weather frag so I'll try again in the fall.
I’m glad you said it about oud because I know exactly what you mean 😂 I had a sample of an oud perfume and when it’s bad it’s bad. I sprayed it and thought “this smells like my grandmother’s old knitting basket,” that old kind of damp wood smell. Glad I’m not the only one who identifies it as that
