I really admire you for how you purchase fragrance but in an inexpensive way . Getting a nice fragrance for under $100 is great I absolutely love will not spend over $200 for fragrance let alone clothing ,shoes ,purses jewelry etc . Fragrance like Tom Ford or Parfums De Marley are outrageous prices . Never ever pay the kind of money they want . The most was $175 for a new bottle of Hypnotic Poison by Dior retail but that’s the most I paid this past spring . I like to mostly look at inexpensive stuff like Brittany Soears fragrances or Guess Fragrances I have Seductive Red and Seductive Noir large 2 oz bottle s For $ 20 each . Also 1981 Indigo Blue ;Guess Gold ;1981 Los Angeles . All large bottles for around $20 and they are all very decent . Love the two Seductive scents and Guess Gold great for fall Winter scents . If you don’t already have it Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden is a very pretty Lovely Spring Summer Classic . A Big bottle is less than $25 and it’s like Spring and Sunshine in a bottle . I’ve had a bottle since it first came out in the 1990s . Still available in most store Drugstores ,Marshall’s ,Walmart etc Beautiful and Soo inexpensive for a 2.5 ounce bottle . As long as this one is available it is a Spring time must have for me . Thanks Corina love your videos ❤😊 Laura in Canada .
Let me add to your list of perfumes created by well known noses. Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea was created by Francis Kurkdjian, the nose for BR540. Green Tea is also considered an iconic perfume. I found it online for less than $20 US ($23 Cdn) for a 100ml EdP.
I love affordable perfumes. Right now I'm loving Shakira S , Chopard Wish, Jimmy Choo and JC illicit. I miss Wonderstruck ! I loved it so much. One of the dupe houses have duped it. I plan to get it!
Lovely video. I love going through fragrantica once I find a perfume I don't know the scent. And I look at the perfumer and their perfumes that they made. And if I find one that I own, I'll just buy it because it won't dissapoint me. ❤
I mix the black Kim K with Sand & Sable & it's so good! It's not the gold though, they look the same but the one I have has rose gold metal. Curious about her other fragrances...
I have the Dolly Parton Smoky Mountain flanker. At first I didn’t like it, now I love it. I wear it layered with baby lotion and powder and it just does something magic. Btw Karina, sadly it looks like Cafe has been discontinued (though Parfumo hasn’t listed it as such yet). A 3oz bottle on EBay can run you up to $65-$70 now 😢
I should note, the Smoky Mountain flanker isn’t quite like anything I’ve smelled which makes it interesting. It begins very sweet and then quickly settles into a dry woody, powdery, almost paper like floral-vanilla. I saw the notes aren’t all listed on Fragrantica. There’s a missing Tiger Orchid fantasy note as well as cashmere wood. There’s also something that I can only explain as a kind of an oak barrel vibe to it. Strange, but I like it. On the tragedy of Cafe’, I regretfully never had the chance to smell it before the price skyrocketed.
@ yeah it’s funny because months ago one of your videos got me interested in it, and just like you say, it was listed super cheap on all the grey market sites. Then it just disappeared. Since then the price has gone up and up on EBay. Soon it will cost close to an actual bottle of Opium lol.
I've picked up and put down Naked Fantasy probably a dozen times. Hoping it'll be similar to Fancy Love but afraid it'll run too sugary. I've read Jungle Fantasy isn't sweet. Maybe I'd like that one...

I love this video. Very cool and interesting. We can all feel like "a million bucks" even on a shoestring budget. Thanks for that!
Jo malone did a great range at Zara. Rose Marshmallow Candy was my favourite of them.
I wish I had a Zara nearby. I’ve heard great things about their fragrances
This is an awesome take on discussing perfumes. I love it. I never thought about the actual perfumers. Thank you for informing us. 😊
Thanks for watching!
Love dolly. Live here in the mountains where shes from.
It’s a beautiful area

This video is so interesting and full of great information! I love the insights you bring by connecting these scents to the creators! Thank you! ☺️✨♥️
Thank you so much!
Really interesting. Thanks, Corina.
Wonderstruck goes for a lot now? I have bottles of that. Maybe I need to find out how to sell these!
It sure does!
Great idea. I often forget these perfumers make very affordable options for other brands.
Thanks for sharing your perfumes 🙌🏽🤩
My pleasure 😊
I love this video, super entertaining. Thank you for taking the time to tell us so many interesting facts ❤

Are you serious? 70? Oh no!
I am curious about Dolly Parton Smokey Mountain.
Wow. I paid 6.99 free shipping.
@ yep. I was just looking again for Cafe and even the small bottles are 35-50 🙁, such a bummer.

I think jungle fantasy is pretty sweet. Candied fantasy isn’t too sweet, strangely enough.
Still is really pretty. I haven't bought it yet because Perfumania is overpriced. 😆
Perfume Spot has it cheap
