I love, Billie Eilish #1. I love the deep woodsy vanilla, and the Dry down is gorgeous. I also have Billie Eilish #2. Not as crazy about that one. Very different .. But I have to say some people have a different idea of what a good scent is or how their body chemistry goes with a scent.. everyone is different. but I agree with your comment about your daughter. on other people these fragrances smell great. Including my granddaughter she loves Eilish number #1 as well.
When it comes to fragrance it really depends on your skin and nose...many of the perfumes you mentioned smell amazing on my skin I've gotten so many compliments. So thanks for your personal honesty!
I love the honesty! Just because something went viral doesn’t mean it deserves the coin! Can we get a spring fragrance video to prepare for that season?
It goes to show that people's body chemistry can be so different. I have all the fragrances listed and they smell great on me and I love them. But I understand how you feel. I hear everyone talking about Delina and Baccarat Rouge 540 and how wonderful they are and I hate those fragrances.
Definitely body chemistry is a big deal! I love all the Zaras she mentioned and l have Delina and Baccarat ( love them too) ❤, but some people smell rubber, medicine, hospital or some crazy stuff. Very polarized fragrance 🤷🏻♀️
I personally think bacarat rouge smells great but it’s one of those fragrances that you can get tired of and too many people wear it so it lost it’s decadence to me. I don’t like smelling like everyone else.
Zara’s Rose Gourmand is THAT GIRL and Oud Satin Mooooood is EVERYTHING!! Idk what you’re on gwoooorl. They’re amazing and last all day!! But i mean to each their own.
I agree. I've literally made rose gourmand my signature everyday scent. It's lovely and sophisticated, yet still warm, cozy with slight sex appeal. Men are always complimenting me out of the blue when I wear it, you know it's good when ur friend's husbands who you see all the time will say "wow you smell good" only when I'm wearing this lol. Like is kneejerk reaction. Cherry on top is that it lasts forever. Oud Satin Mood is EVERYTHING!! Reminds me of my travels through Emirates. Sensual and super sophisticated
I love Rose Gourmand from Zara, it started my fragrance obsession and my collection! It also lasts all day. I haven't noticed it going bad etc but I already have backup bottle 😀 Same with their Ebony Wood... Very unusual fragrance.. to me they are worth purchasing and will be projecting for sure. It was also my flatmates favourite and smelled quite feminine and sexy on her.
Yea I smelled it in store and it’s gorgeoussss, I purchased the Mont Blanc she loved but it was cloying and I returned that one lol. Everyone’s nose is so different
I purposely bought Rouge Smoking just to wear to bed. Maybe you can try it for bed 😉 I don’t have any Zara fragrances but if it’s giving an ammonia smell out the nozzle, spray it like 10 times to clear out the tube. Sometimes when fragrances sit in the tube for a while they do that. I have no idea why. That happened to my Roses Vanille and Tabit by Tiziana Terenzi. Once I did that they were cool 🤷🏻♀️
For any perfume junkies there’s a company that sells perfume primer. Gourmand is always the most prominent on my skin if a perfume has that in the notes so I use the primer for any citrusy notes to be more prominent. The primer is intended to allow all the notes to come through as the perfumer intended.
I fell in love with Rose Gourmand at first sniff and the love affair continues. None of their other fragrances (that I've tried) have blown me away but RG is the loveliest softest jammy rose.
I would love to hear your repurchase list as well. Personally, I get so many compliments when I wear Rose Gourmand but I do layer my fragrances...I usually pair it with Tanasuk perfume oil and top that off with Outremer Vanille perfume, both are equally inexpensive and available on Amazon and Anthropologie
I love Rose Gourmand, Red Temptation and Fashionably London ❤️! and all are very long lasting for the price. I get many compliments from Rose Gourmand even that is my least favorite of the three. 🤷🏻♀️
I absolutely love Billie Eilish. My only issue is that it's not long-lasting. I'm definitely buying another full bottle. I have Kayla Vanilla 28 and I'm done after this bottle with Vanilla 28, it's a No for me. I love Ebony Wood and I will be repurchasing that too☺️
This is why I love fragrances! They are different for everyone! I smelled this lady the other day and I just knew she was wearing a creed fragrance! When she said Baccarat, my jaw dropped! Baccarat has NEVER smelled like that on me!
I wholeheartedly agree about the Zara perfumes🥴 I love the scent of oud satin mood it’s just too heavy to the point it becomes nauseating. I tend to reach for the oud satin mood oil rather than the perfume. It’s much more wearable imo. Also feel this way about passion de l’amour😩 it has something that smells a little like licorice that I can’t get past. I’m glad I only got the travel spray
The only one from Montale that I kinda like so far is Crystal Flowers. Smells very perfumey at first and annoying but after it dries down it smells so soft and sweet.
If you want an alternative to Roses Musk I would say try K’bridge Club by Xerjoff. It’s definitely become a new favorite for me. It gives Gentle fluidity gold mixed with a little delina and dries down to a rosy musky vanilla scent. Also pairs well with the delina body cream!
I was the same way! I kept seeing all these review talking about how amazing it is. So I went back try it again even tried it on my skin and I was like oh no! Not today! Not any day!
I love Rouge Smoking, I’m buying it tomorrow. I got a sample and the first time I wore it I said I like this but I’ll never commit to a bottle because it doesn’t project or last very long on my skin. But I noticed that I reach for my sample all the time. It’s an easy, non offensive fragrance and it really smells good to me so I’m going to get the bottle.
Ebony wood is horrible to me, I never understood all the hype. I bought the Montale fragrance and immediately returned it. The medicinal, synthetic smell is so off putting. Love this video, I think we have similar noses.
I love oud satin mood …. It smells so good on my skin and last forever … People even pass by me as say you have on oud right lol …. I feel like it a nobody have this scent !!!
Gentle Fluidity is just so pretty/classy and young to me! I feel like Oud Satin mood is the mom, baccarat is the dad and Gentle Fluidity gold is the daughter.
Hi! I'm not sure how I feel about Rose Gourmand. I've only tried three Zara scents so far. Now I love their Red Temptation! I can definitely agree with u about not liking certain scents just bc everyone else seems to. Enjoyed this! Tfs!
I agree with the Zara rose, gourmand. It was my first Zara fragrance purchase and it's blah. I look at Zara fragrances as a step up from bath and body works 🤷🏿♀️
I only ever wear MFK oud satin mood layered with baccarat rouge 540, gets me compliments every time. I do agree, it’s not worth the price as a stand alone fragrance. Also totally get what you are saying about the Zara fragrance. I brought so many because of the hype, but there is something about them that I can’t place that means I never wear any of them. I now use them as room scents. Great video ❤
I'm impressed by your ability to interpret scents. I get scent induced migraine headaches 😫 so I have to choose scents based on that. I wish to be more adventurous as I generally stay away from fragrance stores and counters. It would be nice to know what in the scents is triggering.
I completely agree with OUD Satin Mood being powdery. I love that about it though, it gives me baby powder, fresh out of the shower vibes. I spray lightly with this one and wear it to family get togethers or a sister date. Typically places where I want to smell pleasant if someone gets close, but I don't want or need a sexy scent.
I can definitely relate to your dislikes of certain perfumes. Bc I don’t like mature old lady perfumes😩 ik a lot of ppl go nuts for jean paul fragrances smh I can’t do it
I agree on Zara. I had two turn colors and go bad within months. It's like they are meant to be used often. I do find myself wanting to smell them in the checkout as well. I will advise to use them as room sprays. I do that with any perfume I'm no longer loving on my skin. Get your money's worth.
I also agree that I prefer MFK oud silk mood. It's a softer smell, contains rose, chamomile, bergamot, oud, papyrus. It's so airy and beautiful. On another note, I also enjoy oud satin mood. I just won't repurchase after using it up. I definitely am not a fan of zara fragrances. Zara's come off synthetic and plasticy on me (it's a heck no!) I love how detailed you were with each fragrance. New subbie.
I've only actually worn Rouge Smoking and Oud Satin Mood which I bought in decants only thank goodness! I'm with you on both. I find Oud Satin Mood overwhelming when I started wearing it and almost needed to wash it off. Rouge Smoking was just a let down and I don't have much luck with BDK in general. I like Billie Eilish from the tester but I haven't bought. Thank you for being such an honest voice on RUclips.
Hey! Thanks so much for watching! Satin Mood is such an elegant fragrance but the powder can be too much sometimes! I agree about rouge smoking! It's a let down but it's unique so I haven't gotten rid of yet. I gave Billie Eilish away, I just couldn't with that one lol
The bottle seems to be the Eau de Parfum of Oud Satin Mood. I think that the Extrait version gives it that extra special something that is not in the Parfum version. The Extrait version tends to be voted higher on websites too. Of course, it's better to sample before buying, so, be careful, my friends!
LOL! Finally someone who doesn't love Rose Gourmand/Zara! I hear all this hype, but I don't get it. I keep trying to wear it, but it doesn't work for me. Thanks for your honesty. Perfume is such a personal, subjective topic.
I bought Ebony wood for myself and couldn’t scrub it off faster BUT my husband tried it on and it smells amazingggggggg on him! Also, I sampled Eilish and it smelled like a a synthetic mint chocolate chip ice cream. Not in a good way
I get so many compliments when I wear Rose Gourmand. But I have noticed it varies from bottle to bottle and if you decant it into a smaller bottle it changes as well. Same with Red Temptation . So I would say the quality control must be all over the place.
I can’t with Zara fragrances. The first time I smelled them I got a nose bleed 😭 I recently got Rose 01 by Swiss Arabian and it’s a dream! Definitely a sweet rose! It smells AMAZING and it’s gotten better each wear.
I tried the MFK Satin Oud in 2021 while out of town. I looooved it at first spray. I was given a sample to wear for a day to try before I actually purchased it. So glad I got the sample first. It agree that it does smell good, but the dry down (on me) is really a love it or leave it fragrance.
I am cracking up at your description of the Zara fragrances! 😂😂 I like to mix Ebony Woods with my vanilla fragrances because I have it but I don’t enjoy it as much as I did when I bought it last year but the candle is incredible!
I agree with your thoughts on Ebony Wood. I don’t like it at all. I have tried and tried to like it, but it’s a NO for me also! I also decluttered roses musk because of the same after scent.
Oud Satin mood reminded me of Loves baby soft, at least on me. I wanted to like it, I just can't get past that everything I smell it on me. So I passed on buying it.
Me too. I love oud. I really wanted to love satin mood. When I tried a sample all I got was the smell of a very nice smelling powder. I got no oud at all, maybe because I’m used to stronger ouds. On my clothes it smells better, I could identify a nice rose scent that is still very powdery. Maybe on someone with the right chemistry it smells better. But for me I would not buy it.
I agree with every word about rouge smoking 😅 I got an 8ml sample, Im glad I got to experience it as it’s nice …BUT it does feel like it’s missing something - like a tangy note…also it doesn’t last on me So I probably wouldn’t buy a full bottle - but would be interested to find the right thing to layer it with to make it pop. 🎉
i have oud satin mood and i think its incredible. i will agree, a lot of people love to ask what im wearing and they say i smell good but like, not in a complimenting way. i would not repurchase it again only because its so heavy to the point that i feel like its not enjoyable to wear sometimes. its STRONG and that says a lot because i love strong scents!
I purchased Rose Gourmand as a Sleeping Fragrance. It puts me in the mind of Chocolate Roses. When I am in the bed I want to smell pretty and Edible. I do plan to try the Montale Intense Cafe.
I forgot what Zara fragrance I bought but I was in the store, sprayed the tester on me and fell in love…copped! Baby when I tell you that dry down later on that day had me smelling Sister Sheryl, I immediately returned it. I cant!
Thanks for this video. 😊 I have two Zara fragrances from the Jo Malone series (Amalfi Sunray and Fleur d’Oranger) and these two hold up pretty well. Especially in the Summer. However, I agree with you on the other Zara fragrances. 😅
I like Ebony Wood mixed with my burning cherry. It smells good on my skin. It’s the only Zara Fragrance I have. I will not wear it on its own, but I will mix it and only a spritz or two to cut the sweetness of the burning cherry.
Oh sis they coming for you. The ppl hate when you have your own brain lol… I don’t know why they get so mad when you don’t like what they like! That BDK is a no for me as well, I just wear it because babe loves it…
So true with the cocoa stink in perfumes especially the Billie eilish 1 ! I can’t stand that note in perfumes I found out either, makes my head hurt and just haaaate it
Brittany we definitely have the same nose cause baybeee the way I couldn’t take any of those scents and I don’t like cocoa notes in perfumes either. Zara perfumes give me a headache they’re way too synthetic. I personally cannot take synthetic perfumes anymore without getting a headache. I don’t even think I can enjoy the viral perfumes 💀😭 I’ve never really liked what goes viral and you just stopped me from purchasing the Billy Elliesh and rose Gormound thanks for the honest review
I tried two Zara fragrances. It was Gourmet and Rich Leather. These fragrances gave me rash/eczema. Never again. I agree with you when you say that they are badly made. Indeed. They are.
Loved the honest review especially Ebony Wood. I keep putting the Jo Malone Sea Salt on my list but heard Ebony Wood was a dupe. However every time I smelled it in the store it was way to woodsy.
I agree with you on the zara fragrances. I was so excited about rose gourmand only for it to end up smelling like dead roses on me. I purchased a few others and ended up giving them away.
Great video. Your opinion on these fragrances mirror mine on MFK BR540. I still do not understand the love for that fragrance. Must be something in it I'm anosmic to which is ruining the overall scent for me because I hate it. I, however, love Oud Silk Mood (like you) and l'homme À la rose (haven't tried the femme). The Zara perfumes I love are Creatively Shanghai and Energetically New York, otherwise I definitely agree with you about Zara fragrances
I love when you do these videos‼️ it amazes me how detailed on the scents you are 😍👌🏾👏🏾🔥‼️ I’m like somebody need to give her a perfume deal asap!!! As always fabulous video!!!
Love your content! I was wondering if you have an opinion on any Le Labo fragrances? I purchased the sample set and I was so underwhelmed by the highly coveted santal 33 and another 13 .
They are not my go to. Very earthy and that's not by scent palette. I do like Another 13 but I've never bit the bullet to buy the full bottle. I'd use it more as a mixer.
i love ebony wood! its a great layering scent! goes great with things that are a bit sweet....goes great with original opium or poison...or orange blossom ...it cuts down sweetness. and its odd you dont like it as Im super sensitive ..i get a light woody sweetness? but its mostly wood
Noooo, not oud satin mood😆….have you tried the extrait? Yes super powdery, but there are other nuances and is just so well blended. Absolutely love it. Nevertheless, yeah , I respect your opinion😩😆
Nah you tried it by talking about🤨 ‘Ebony Wood’, it’s great with pairing, I enjoy it. And side note: ‘Red Temptation Winter’ and ‘Hipster Oud’, all these three are thee best from Zara!!!
I've never tried Hipster oud, but I did try Red temptation and it was a no for me. I know it's supposed to be a baccarat dupe but I don't see it lol. Now Ebony wood? She's in the trash 😩😂. My other zara fragrance could never be more than a room spray for me at this point 🤣🤣
Heyyyyy Beautiful, Thanks for the honesty love it. Haven’t tried anything of the 1st 3 fragrances, but I must say that MLK Oud Satin Mood.....I think what he created this particular fragrance exactly what he named it. That dry down powdery sent you get is Soft and Satiny ( like after the night out you can relax have a glass of wine 🍷listen to a little jazz and have that soft powdery fragrance lingering☺️
I enjoy Zara perfumes that are for me (I am not impressed by rose gourmand but appreciate ebony wood) and I recommend and gift them to relatives. When your nose is used to higher you can (not always) dislike perfumes like Zara ones
Spot on about Zara fragrances, I find them extremely weak, and rose gourmand is my worst one! If you want dupes go for the Arabic scents, they are far stronger in fragrance! I appreciate your honesty, rather than just going along with the hype. And for those that like the Eilish perfume, if you want a fragrance like that but better, that lasts longer , go for Lattafa NEBRAS.
I’m so glad you said it but that ebony woods I bought since everyone was saying it was so good but it stank!!! Lol and the rose gourmand I wanted to like it so bad but it just smells like medicine to me. Both were influenced buys I ordered that I regret as well.
Even fragrances I do like, I'm not likely to buy again. There's always something new to try and I have to admit I get bored easily. So I hardly ever repurchase, even if I really enjoyed the fragrance.
My teenage daughter has both Billie Eilish fragrances and she always smells so sweet & creamy. So I think it depends on your body chemistry.
Yes! They all work differently on everyone. This one has cocoa in it and I don't like cocoa in my fragrances I've learned.
I agree. I bought it for my teenage daughter for Christmas and it smells so good on her!
Yes, i have it and my friend has it and it smells amazing on us..we always get compliments on it.
I love it. 😊
I love, Billie Eilish #1. I love the deep woodsy vanilla, and the Dry down is gorgeous. I also have Billie Eilish #2. Not as crazy about that one. Very different .. But I have to say some people have a different idea of what a good scent is or how their body chemistry goes with a scent.. everyone is different. but I agree with your comment about your daughter. on other people these fragrances smell great. Including my granddaughter she loves Eilish number #1 as well.
When it comes to fragrance it really depends on your skin and nose...many of the perfumes you mentioned smell amazing on my skin I've gotten so many compliments. So thanks for your personal honesty!
You're so welcome! Fragrance is so personal so this is just my personal opinion. Thanks so much for watching!!
I love the honesty! Just because something went viral doesn’t mean it deserves the coin! Can we get a spring fragrance video to prepare for that season?
I totally agree! I will work on that!
It goes to show that people's body chemistry can be so different. I have all the fragrances listed and they smell great on me and I love them. But I understand how you feel. I hear everyone talking about Delina and Baccarat Rouge 540 and how wonderful they are and I hate those fragrances.
Definitely body chemistry is a big deal! I love all the Zaras she mentioned and l have Delina and Baccarat ( love them too) ❤, but some people smell rubber, medicine, hospital or some crazy stuff. Very polarized fragrance 🤷🏻♀️
omgg yes, i had that with crystal noir (edp & edt). both smell sooo bad on my skin! and super hated parfumes smell like heaven on me 😂😂
I personally think bacarat rouge smells great but it’s one of those fragrances that you can get tired of and too many people wear it so it lost it’s decadence to me. I don’t like smelling like everyone else.
Wasn't too crazy about Delina either. It was pretty, but I felt like it was missing something. Delina Exclusif fills the void😍
Me too! I hate smelling them on other people! 🤢I would never!
I love Oud Satin Mood❤ One of my favorite MFK fragrances😊
Zara’s Rose Gourmand is THAT GIRL and Oud Satin Mooooood is EVERYTHING!! Idk what you’re on gwoooorl. They’re amazing and last all day!! But i mean to each their own.
Rose Gourmand smells cheap to me. I love and wear Satin Mood, but wouldn't repurchase it because it'll last me forever plus I have silk mood.
I agree. I've literally made rose gourmand my signature everyday scent. It's lovely and sophisticated, yet still warm, cozy with slight sex appeal. Men are always complimenting me out of the blue when I wear it, you know it's good when ur friend's husbands who you see all the time will say "wow you smell good" only when I'm wearing this lol.

I’ve been wanting to visit Zara!
I really love Ebony Wood!
lol I also came here to say I love Rose Gourmand. It’s my jammmm😂 it def lasts all day. Love love love it.
I love it too🤷🏽♀️
I bought Rose Gourmand off the Zara website, to me it was just so weak, one of the worst fragrances I’ve bought!
Hey Brit!!! I agree with all of them except the Oud Satin Mood, she’s a heavy hitter for sure but I love it especially to layer with sweet fragrances!
Yea I smelled it in store and it’s gorgeoussss, I purchased the Mont Blanc she loved but it was cloying and I returned that one lol. Everyone’s nose is so different
I layer it too! Don't get me wrong, I like and happy to have it, just wouldn't repurchase it.
I love Oud Satin Mood to layer and its lasting power is phenomenal on me!😊
I purposely bought Rouge Smoking just to wear to bed. Maybe you can try it for bed 😉 I don’t have any Zara fragrances but if it’s giving an ammonia smell out the nozzle, spray it like 10 times to clear out the tube. Sometimes when fragrances sit in the tube for a while they do that. I have no idea why. That happened to my Roses Vanille and Tabit by Tiziana Terenzi. Once I did that they were cool 🤷🏻♀️
For any perfume junkies there’s a company that sells perfume primer. Gourmand is always the most prominent on my skin if a perfume has that in the notes so I use the primer for any citrusy notes to be more prominent. The primer is intended to allow all the notes to come through as the perfumer intended.

Me too I love the Oud Satin oil! So I bought the travel roller balls and just rub oil with them, it makes them softer!
Intense cafe from Montale is my fav especially when it’s dry down on my skin and it’s amazing on longevity.
The only one from Montale that I kinda like so far is Crystal Flowers. Smells very perfumey at first and annoying but after it dries down it smells so soft and sweet.
*🎉I have a (Mystery Box) package for you,@BrittanyPocketsandBowsTV gist the above username for acknowledgment....*

The Coveted Duchess Rose Eau De Parfum by Penhaligon is also really good 😊
When I smelled the Billie Ellish perfume in ULTA…I was like ew no. It’s not good imo
LOL girl why didn't I leave it?! When it's affordable I can't help myself smh.
I was duped into buying it only to realize that it's bath and body works warm sugar vanilla. Its going back!!
The dry down is great but that first few sprays is veryyy off putting.
I was the same way! I kept seeing all these review talking about how amazing it is. So I went back try it again even tried it on my skin and I was like oh no! Not today! Not any day!
Literally the same thing in Ulta lol

I agree on Zara. I had two turn colors and go bad within months. It's like they are meant to be used often. I do find myself wanting to smell them in the checkout as well. I will advise to use them as room sprays. I do that with any perfume I'm no longer loving on my skin. Get your money's worth.

The bottle seems to be the Eau de Parfum of Oud Satin Mood. I think that the Extrait version gives it that extra special something that is not in the Parfum version. The Extrait version tends to be voted higher on websites too. Of course, it's better to sample before buying, so, be careful, my friends!
This was GOOD... can you do a video on paring / good combo fragrances?
Thank you! I have a couple! Check out my fragrance playlist.
LOL! Finally someone who doesn't love Rose Gourmand/Zara! I hear all this hype, but I don't get it. I keep trying to wear it, but it doesn't work for me. Thanks for your honesty. Perfume is such a personal, subjective topic.
SO PERSONAL! Maybe try Gentle Fluidity gold if you're willing to splurge or sample it. It's supposed to be what Rose Gourmand is trying to be.
Enjoyed !!!😂 Too funny ... but I am here for it Brittany!! This keeps me from not buying the over hyped ones ... like MK Oud!!
I love when you talk about fragrances. I have a few you mentioned and I loveeee them however, I appreciate your perspective
Thank you so much!! I appreciate that!
I bought Ebony wood for myself and couldn’t scrub it off faster BUT my husband tried it on and it smells amazingggggggg on him!
Also, I sampled Eilish and it smelled like a a synthetic mint chocolate chip ice cream. Not in a good way
ALL OF THIS!!!
thank you I also hate the rose gourmand by Zara so much , I don't know why people hype it

I get so many compliments when I wear Rose Gourmand. But I have noticed it varies from bottle to bottle and if you decant it into a smaller bottle it changes as well. Same with Red Temptation . So I would say the quality control must be all over the place.
Awww baby not cat pee!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I’ll be back, let me collect myself!! Love u to pieces!❤️😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can’t with Zara fragrances. The first time I smelled them I got a nose bleed 😭 I recently got Rose 01 by Swiss Arabian and it’s a dream! Definitely a sweet rose! It smells AMAZING and it’s gotten better each wear.
I tried the MFK Satin Oud in 2021 while out of town. I looooved it at first spray. I was given a sample to wear for a day to try before I actually purchased it. So glad I got the sample first. It agree that it does smell good, but the dry down (on me) is really a love it or leave it fragrance.
I feel the same way you feel about Zara fragrances. Whenever there's a Zara sale it seems like they have a overstock of fragrances near the checkout.
I am cracking up at your description of the Zara fragrances! 😂😂 I like to mix Ebony Woods with my vanilla fragrances because I have it but I don’t enjoy it as much as I did when I bought it last year but the candle is incredible!
Listen, they need to figure out how to make the fragrance smell like the candle!
Great to know about the candles! I have just bought two since they are on sale! Thank you 😊
I agree with your thoughts on Ebony Wood. I don’t like it at all. I have tried and tried to like it, but it’s a NO for me also! I also decluttered roses musk because of the same after scent.
I totally agree with you regarding Zara Ebony Wood. It smells like hamster cage.
I’m hollering 😂😂😂😂😂 I love ebony wood!
I can’t get with it either😂
My boyfriend says it smells like a bathroom after Glade has been sprayed 😂
😂 not a hamster cage 😂
I am SCREAMING!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sis😂😂😂 you took me out with the cat pee🤣🤣🤣🤣!
😅🤣🤣
Oud Satin mood reminded me of Loves baby soft, at least on me. I wanted to like it, I just can't get past that everything I smell it on me. So I passed on buying it.
Me too. Straight baby powder.
Me too. I love oud. I really wanted to love satin mood. When I tried a sample all I got was the smell of a very nice smelling powder. I got no oud at all, maybe because I’m used to stronger ouds. On my clothes it smells better, I could identify a nice rose scent that is still very powdery. Maybe on someone with the right chemistry it smells better. But for me I would not buy it.
I agree with every word about rouge smoking 😅 I got an 8ml sample, Im glad I got to experience it as it’s nice …BUT it does feel like it’s missing something - like a tangy note…also it doesn’t last on me
So I probably wouldn’t buy a full bottle - but would be interested to find the right thing to layer it with to make it pop. 🎉
I love love Rose gourmand,it's beautiful! I backed up this frag...
i have oud satin mood and i think its incredible. i will agree, a lot of people love to ask what im wearing and they say i smell good but like, not in a complimenting way. i would not repurchase it again only because its so heavy to the point that i feel like its not enjoyable to wear sometimes. its STRONG and that says a lot because i love strong scents!
I purchased Rose Gourmand as a Sleeping Fragrance. It puts me in the mind of Chocolate Roses. When I am in the bed I want to smell pretty and Edible. I do plan to try the Montale Intense Cafe.
I think it's the chocolate for me. I'm realizing I don't like it.
I forgot what Zara fragrance I bought but I was in the store, sprayed the tester on me and fell in love…copped! Baby when I tell you that dry down later on that day had me smelling Sister Sheryl, I immediately returned it. I cant!
LOL girl these Zara fragrances smell decent for 3 mins at most!
Thanks for this video. 😊 I have two Zara fragrances from the Jo Malone series (Amalfi Sunray and Fleur d’Oranger) and these two hold up pretty well. Especially in the Summer. However, I agree with you on the other Zara fragrances. 😅
I'm so glad I'm not the only one!!!
I like Ebony Wood mixed with my burning cherry. It smells good on my skin. It’s the only Zara Fragrance I have. I will not wear it on its own, but I will mix it and only a spritz or two to cut the sweetness of the burning cherry.
I hear that a lot of ppl love to mix. It goes to the 🗑 for me! LOL
Oh sis they coming for you. The ppl hate when you have your own brain lol…
I don’t know why they get so mad when you don’t like what they like!
That BDK is a no for me as well, I just wear it because babe loves it…
Thanks for letting others know about certain scents!!
Love Oud Satin Mood, but I agree that the price is outrageous. I buy an impression , which is an exact clone from Oakcha for less than $39.

U may like montale intense cafe. Mix that with baccarat. Amazing

So true with the cocoa stink in perfumes especially the Billie eilish 1 ! I can’t stand that note in perfumes I found out either, makes my head hurt and just haaaate it
Agreed! I'm open to trying other coco fragrances! I like Coffee break by Replica. I think it has a cocoa note.
I'm with you on Zara's fragrances. MFK, too. I find myself picking up his fragrances every time I'm in the Saks fragrance section. Good stuff 👏
*🎉I have a (Mystery Box) package for you,@BrittanyPocketsandBowsTV gist the above username for acknowledgment...*
Brittany we definitely have the same nose cause baybeee the way I couldn’t take any of those scents and I don’t like cocoa notes in perfumes either. Zara perfumes give me a headache they’re way too synthetic. I personally cannot take synthetic perfumes anymore without getting a headache. I don’t even think I can enjoy the viral perfumes 💀😭 I’ve never really liked what goes viral and you just stopped me from purchasing the Billy Elliesh and rose Gormound thanks for the honest review
I tried two Zara fragrances. It was Gourmet and Rich Leather. These fragrances gave me rash/eczema. Never again. I agree with you when you say that they are badly made. Indeed. They are.
*🎉I have a (Mystery Box) package for you,@BrittanyPocketsandBowsTV gist the above username for acknowledgment....*
I loved Eillish at first bc it smelled like cocoa butter oil to me, but now a lot of the times I smell Vicks vapor rub 😩 I bought the full size too
Something weird happens after a while. I get it!
Lol not me waiting on this satin mood to come in & seeing it’s pic smack dab on the front of your video 😭🤣
You’re gonna love it! It’s my favorite perfume.
@@Loveesarita yes it’s literally perfect, I think because I love powdery scents lol. I’m excited!
It's worth having and experiencing! I don't regret it but it's not what I want it to be. I like oud silk mood better.
Try mixing the oud satin mood w/baccarat they go beautifully together
Yes! I love that combo! I like oud satin mood and wear it, just wouldn't repurchase. I like Silk mood more.
Loved the honest review especially Ebony Wood. I keep putting the Jo Malone Sea Salt on my list but heard Ebony Wood was a dupe. However every time I smelled it in the store it was way to woodsy.
OHHHH the ppl lied if they said Ebony wood was a dupe for Wood Sage & Sea Salt 😩😂
I love your fragrance reviews, keep them coming!
Thank you so much!
I agree with you on the zara fragrances. I was so excited about rose gourmand only for it to end up smelling like dead roses on me. I purchased a few others and ended up giving them away.
Something is so off with their fragrances!
Same here..and they dont last..
Great video! Have you tried Oud Silk Mood? I love the Rose opening.
Yes, I prefer silk mood over satin mood. I mentioned it in this video.l
Great video. Your opinion on these fragrances mirror mine on MFK BR540. I still do not understand the love for that fragrance. Must be something in it I'm anosmic to which is ruining the overall scent for me because I hate it. I, however, love Oud Silk Mood (like you) and l'homme À la rose (haven't tried the femme). The Zara perfumes I love are Creatively Shanghai and Energetically New York, otherwise I definitely agree with you about Zara fragrances
I've heard that! So many say they are anosmic to BR540.
Pas Ce Soir is my fave BDK scent as well. I looove Rouge Smoking though. It’s so unique! I love to mix it with Vanilla 28
It is such a unique scent!
I love when you do these videos‼️ it amazes me how detailed on the scents you are 😍👌🏾👏🏾🔥‼️ I’m like somebody need to give her a perfume deal asap!!! As always fabulous video!!!
Also how do you apply your perfume? Do you layer it? Meaning body lotion first then perfume? Hopefully you understand my question.
Love your content! I was wondering if you have an opinion on any Le Labo fragrances? I purchased the sample set and I was so underwhelmed by the highly coveted santal 33 and another 13 .
They are not my go to. Very earthy and that's not by scent palette. I do like Another 13 but I've never bit the bullet to buy the full bottle. I'd use it more as a mixer.
i love ebony wood! its a great layering scent! goes great with things that are a bit sweet....goes great with original opium or poison...or orange blossom ...it cuts down sweetness. and its odd you dont like it as Im super sensitive ..i get a light woody sweetness? but its mostly wood
Noooo, not oud satin mood😆….have you tried the extrait? Yes super powdery, but there are other nuances and is just so well blended. Absolutely love it. Nevertheless, yeah , I respect your opinion😩😆
I like Satin mood! I still wear it, I just would't repurchase it! However I probably would never get through the full bottle to repurchase it anyway.
With the Oud satin mood, I mix it with a fresh scent like Baldafrique or a fresh scent from Replica to make it work😩.
Nah you tried it by talking about🤨 ‘Ebony Wood’, it’s great with pairing, I enjoy it.
And side note: ‘Red Temptation Winter’ and ‘Hipster Oud’, all these three are thee best from Zara!!!
I've never tried Hipster oud, but I did try Red temptation and it was a no for me. I know it's supposed to be a baccarat dupe but I don't see it lol. Now Ebony wood? She's in the trash 😩😂. My other zara fragrance could never be more than a room spray for me at this point 🤣🤣
How you feel about ebony woods that’s I how I feel Baccarat. Baccarat smells like sulfur 8 hair grease to me😖
So far the only Montale fragrance I have is Oud leather.
Heyyyyy Beautiful, Thanks for the honesty love it. Haven’t tried anything of the 1st 3 fragrances, but I must say that MLK Oud Satin Mood.....I think what he created this particular fragrance exactly what he named it. That dry down powdery sent you get is Soft and Satiny ( like after the night out you can relax have a glass of wine 🍷listen to a little jazz and have that soft powdery fragrance lingering☺️
Thank you so much! I like and wear oud satin mood but I have to be in the Mood to wear it lol.
Love this video Brittany. Keep it coming. This was entertaining and informative. You are such a joy
Thank you! Will do!
I love rose gourmand by zara 😍😍😍 on skin and clotches it s smell sooo good
*🎉I have a (Mystery Box) package for you,@BrittanyPocketsandBowsTV gist the above username for acknowledgment....*
I enjoy Zara perfumes that are for me (I am not impressed by rose gourmand but appreciate ebony wood) and I recommend and gift them to relatives. When your nose is used to higher you can (not always) dislike perfumes like Zara ones
A video about your favorite MFK fragrances would be dope.
I totally agree with you about the Zara fragrances.
*🎉I have a (Mystery Box) package for you,@BrittanyPocketsandBowsTV gist the above username for acknowledgment....*
Yes I agreed Rose Gourmand don’t do it for me either but I do love the Ebony Wood tho
*🎉I have a (Mystery Box) package for you,@BrittanyPocketsandBowsTV gist the above username for acknowledgment.….*
Spot on about Zara fragrances, I find them extremely weak, and rose gourmand is my worst one!
If you want dupes go for the Arabic scents, they are far stronger in fragrance!
I appreciate your honesty, rather than just going along with the hype.
And for those that like the Eilish perfume, if you want a fragrance like that but better, that lasts longer , go for Lattafa NEBRAS.
Thanks so much for sharing! I have Shagahf oud.
I'm so with you on ebony wood. It's something off with it.
I’m so glad you said it but that ebony woods I bought since everyone was saying it was so good but it stank!!! Lol and the rose gourmand I wanted to like it so bad but it just smells like medicine to me. Both were influenced buys I ordered that I regret as well.
I agree about the Ebony woods…. Does not smell good at all imo🤷🏽♀️
Even fragrances I do like, I'm not likely to buy again. There's always something new to try and I have to admit I get bored easily. So I hardly ever repurchase, even if I really enjoyed the fragrance.
I can understand that! I have so many that I probably won't get through them to repurchase.
Omg!!! I feel the same way!!! Especially the Zara ones! Rose Gourmand and Ebony Woods stink
Zara needs to do better with their formula!
Zara’s Unusual Fruit and Unusual Gourmand smell pretty good.
