I adore Soie Malaquais, it is one of my favourites in my collection. I just think price is so subjective for everyone and also expensive is different for everyone. I would repurchase it again and again, I just wish it was under £200.
Thank you for this. The fact that you tell us what you've bought, what you've paid for yourself, and if it's worth it means a lot to me personally. So many influencers are sent bottles by the brands, and how can they give an honest review after that? It's not possible. My friend was sent some fragrances by a particular brand, and she had to sign an NDA and there were all sorts of quid pro quos. Having seen it happen irl now, I am so much more wary when I watch perfume videos. Love to see your lux collection, you have great taste!
Soie malaquais from dries van noten is worth the price of admisssion! That bottle design is second to none! And it smells like a luxurious gourmand scent. So unique.
Hi Hayley! I enjoyed this video and your honesty. My most expensive fragrance is Amouage Guidance, I paid about £230 so a significant reduction on the RRP of £320, and for me it's worth it (although if I couldn't get a discount, I'm not sure I would have paid the full retail price). I picked Soie Malaquais up from a reseller so also got a decent deal that I'm happy with. My love for both scents is even stronger now that I've worn them loads than when I first got them too. I feel like it'll be hard for me to spend over around £250 on a perfume, but we'll see haha! Blanche Bete was probably my second most expensive.
Yeah I feel we all have an individual wall that we limit ourselves too. I really want Feve Gourmand but struggling to drop £290 on it. I think even getting 10% off helps me justify a more expensive perfume. Guidance is worth it for me purely due to the strength and unique DNA, it’s not love for me but I can’t deny it’s incredible
Yes 👏🏻 please part 2, I really enjoyed the video a lot, in my opinion nothing worth the price tag 😅I never pay the price tag for any luxury perfume, clothes, bags and hair tools, I always always wait and do my best to get the perfect deal, my most expensive perfume in my collection right now is Guidence I got it for 300$ instead of 390$ after tax in USA, usually my perfume between 150$ and under 200$, yes it’s soooo much money but the quality of this one is insane, now I am dying to get YSL babycat but I am not sure if I am willing to spend 370$ on it 😢😢I am sooooo agree about quality of La capitale and starlight absolutely both are gorgeous scents, but still can’t see myself pay almost 300$ for 50 ml perfume, I am sooooo glad that I got starlight in the Black Friday for 120$ 😮💃🏻, and first bottle of La capitale was for 170$ and I ordered the second one for 98$, I do agree also about the casmorati line I got Italica for 140$ and I see that it’s the fair and best price for it, I can’t see myself pay even 100$ for Dama Bianca due to the poor longevity, even PDM Delina line I refused to pay even 170$ for Delina exclusive and got Armaf imperial instead and I am soooo satisfied and happy with it, no uniqueness no complexity too much feminine for me so not worth the splurge at all🤷🏻♀️
Guerlain will be coming out with 50ml for the whole L'art et la Matiere line from what I have heard. I really want Oud Nude but a 100ml is too much for me
I’m trying to find an Initio that’s worth the price tag and slowly trying to sample all. love Musk Therapy which feels like wearing a dream but not sure if it’s worth it because of the longevity (eyeing sampling Musc Moschus because of you :) Atomic Rose although stunning and powerful, I’m not sure if I’m head over heels with it so might sample a clone
I always appreciate your honesty Hayley! I purchased Guerlain Spirituese Double Vanille, Tonka Imperiale, Cherry Oud and Fève Gourmand….do I think it’s worth the price tag, No I don’t 🥰. They were all painful for me too, but I love them with the exception of Cherry Oud (I didn’t have any way to test any of them so they were all expensive blind buys, with Cherry Oud being an expensive mistake). My most expensive perfume would be Louis Vuitton Symphony ($550) because I can’t find them elsewhere and discounted. I do LOVE it and need to wear it more! Such a fun video, Hayley, thanks!❤️❤️❤️
Very nice video! ❤ in my opinion the one that worth the price is Cruz del Sur II by Xerjoff. This milky mango is just… I still did not find anything like this. I remember when I wear it for this first time (it was a cold day), a friend hugged me and said wow, what is this perfume? Not crazy projection but omg, amazing!
My most expensive fragrances are Babycat and Blanche Bete. I bought them on a once in a lifetime trip with my daughter to Paris. It made them sooo special to me. The scents are definitely worth it. Blanche Bete is easily my favorite and most worn. Babycat is reserved for special occasions.
I can only speak on xerjoff and I completely agree with you. I would add ivory route into worth it. But although I love all my xerjoffs the others are not worth retail. Once we get to the $300 mark, I don’t think any perfume is worth it. Not to say that there aren’t super interesting scents in that space. I just think there are moods, feelings, events, and occasions that call for different profiles. In every scenario there is a stellar perfume under $300 that fits. And honestly I would say below $200. I rarely pay retail no matter what the fragrance. So that means I have to avoid the hype and wait until they show up at discounters, or I will get a decant.
Whilst I feel that fragrance can be beyond expensive I do fully acknowledge the price per wear, the quality ingredients and the worthiness of the fragrance if it makes you feel fantastic. Buying something not right for you is a total waste of money and this is why I appreciate your friendly advice....and I also agree that Roja does something with fragrance that no other house can. That said MFK is not far behind in my opinion
I love this video Hayley… so honest and transparent sharing retail and what you actually paid. I look forward to Pt2. I agree that you should always search for online discounts before buying full retail. Personally I love Tiziana Terenzi as it’s my favourite fragrance house but I wouldn’t pay full retail although I love Tabit I can’t pay £410. It’s unique, feminine and so special to me, often you can find online deals it’s sold for half of that price. Same goes for Greenwich Village too - love both fragrances but wouldn’t pay full retail.
My most expensive ones are Soie Malaquais, Levitating, and some from Initio (however, I bought all Initio perfumes with 20% off). I don‘t have actually regrets as I only bought 1 blindly in my whole collection. But I have at least 200 samples instead. I love samples.
Dolce Amalfi is deffo worth every penny! I also got into Starlight, after feeling 'meh' about it a few months ago but also today layered it with Accident a la Vanille-Madeleine de Proust you have to try that combo! x
My most expensive purchase was Babycat by YSL. Seeing as to how elusive it is, I decided to pull the trigger, and it is honestly now one of my most prized fragrances in my collection. I paid a little over SGD500 for it (about 295 pounds which is A TON of money to me), but I abso-freaking-lutely LOVE the scent profile. However, now that there's Eau The Audacity, which is more widely available + more affordable, it may not be that worth it to go after Babycat now lol.
The first time I smelt the new Penhaligons, Babycat was the first thing that came to mind. This was before any reviews came out too, they are super similar
I have both for the retail price . Audicity is not 100% Babycat to me, maybe it needs times to macerate? Baby Cat is deeper and heavier, with the suede. The bourbon vanilla is a star player, where as Audicity has just a warm airy vanilla.
Great video of discussion! For me, Original delina has lots of dupe. Exclusif has just few yet the level of depth is insane because use well-blended oud and incense is artfully done to enhance fruit (though i totally hate oud in general). These fruits tend to smell cheap if its too fruity.
Blonde amber is so good! I feel for you guys in the UK prices are always so inflated for frags! I got mine from a local discounter for $299cad which is super cheap in pounds
I agree so much with Lune Feline and La capitale, own both and would purchase them again, and same for Starlight!❤✨️✨️ I am very curious to try Angelique noire, and I want to start discovering Roja, starting from something less expensive though 😅 If I have to think of an overpriced fragrance that I have, I would say Hundred silent ways from Nishane, it is beautiful but too simple for the retail price tag. This kind of video is very helpful! ❤ I am often thinking of discovering high end houses but some are hard to find in stores (at least in Italy), and some sample sets are highly priced too, so it's very helpful to have a guide ❤
Interesting concept. I think niche is like art, you know what you like and when you “get it” then it’s worth it for you to experience that fragrance. It really is an experience. I believe scents can change your mood and heal you. I can barely stand designer any more, I know terrible, but I find myself layering designer to doctor them up, so, may as well just buy niche. I have a few on here. I don’t like to even imagine the total cost of my collection, staggering. ❤
I’ve just started reading a book which is all about listening to scent and the olfactory connection we can have with scents. It’s fascinating so far and it goes deep into the healing properties certain aromas can have etc
Absolutely love your take on fragrance! I’ve picked up the Roja 3, excited to try it out! Blonde Amber has been my fave so far. Can’t wait to get my nose on this new baby! 😍🥰❤️
Hayley 🥰, price is as subjective as our nose and opinions are subjective ..... however , please wear your Roja 3 !!! even if it's only your special day/event fragrance .... seems imo too much $$ to sit on a shelf 😂, but I understand your safe guarding such an expensive perfume 😍
I really wanted the new Tobacco Honey after sampling it but with the crazy prices I decided to get a 10 ml decant on eBay for $65. That should last awhile!
Hi Hayley. I really enjoy this style of video. I’d say the most expensive I’ve bought was Angelique Noir. I don’t regret it…..however, I did get it when I was in Paris in June so i was going to walk out with something as a forever memory. Would I have been so wiling to purchase that in the states? Probably not,,,,but i really do love it. LOL. I agree on Oud Nude, which is why I hesitate to buy a bottle.
Very honest video ❤ I have 100 mls xerjoff Ouverture and Opera both blind buys 😂 not sure I like Ouverture... Dolce melodía by Sospiro and HSW X are other expensive ones I got ( on a deal 😜)
Oh, I'm wearing a sample of Lune Feline today! Still trying it out but appreciate your opinion on this one. Do you think Oriana is worth the price tag? My most expensive purchases were PDM Meliora and the original Delina. Finished both and I believe worth it.
Hi Hayley! Thank you for the video, I really enjoyed watching it. I find that Casamorati - Bouquet ideale is very similar to Oud Nude by Guerlain. Don’t you feel it too?
Long story short. Yes they are. They are “luxury” fragrance for a reason. It’s not for everyone’s wallet. I have over 60k in niche fragrances and sure some are over price. But there’s a major difference in niche fragrances and the rest
Hi Hayley, pls help me choose between Amber superfluid and Blonde amber in terms of the scent, longevity and the projection?! Which one came in your mind first ?!
The guerlains were painful for me. Because I recently discovered they’ve been duped by Julianna’s perfume and the dupe comes so close and I cannot tell the difference. They also duped delina and that is I’m sure 99%. But if I didn’t know this fact yes Guerlain and delina are 💯 worth it because I own them 😂.
Whether a fragrance is worth the price tag or not depends on how you view fragrances and I think it applies to most things in general. I think most people who say any particular fragrance is overpriced don't realize that perfumes have always been a luxury item and not a basic essential. If anything seems overpriced to you, then you are probably not the target customer for that product. If I was not a fragrance lover and collector, 80% of the niche fragrances would have seemed overpriced to me. You always have the option to spend within your budget and still smell good. No one needs to buy a Roja, Fragrance du Bois, Xerjoff, etc. to smell good. In my opinion, no fragrance or brand you listed here is overpriced considering a fragrance is not just smelling good but also an experience. Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with fragrance content creation or whatsoever and I purchases all my fragrances with my own money.
I saw the disclaimer at the end of your comment and I just want to make it clear that none of these fragrances were sent to me. They were all purchased by myself and one by my husband, so my opinion remains the same. This is just my opinion if I think they are worth the price tag, which is subjective as I mentioned in the video. I am a fragrance collector too and I love the art of fragrance but I do feel some can be overpriced based on having a luxury brand associated to it. The profit margins will be huge for these brands. I love luxury and will always purchase luxury items but it’s just my own opinion on it.
I paid £490 for a 50ml of blonde amber no fragrance is worth that & I don't like all the price increases but fragrances like Blonde Amber aren't aimed at people who earn less than 100k a year its as simple as that.
A huge misconception that Niche is better than designer. Again due to social media. No offense to you but when RUclips fragrances reviewers started getting into niche fragrances it came across as a level up lifestyle. And, I realise that the scape goat for the word 'Basic' 🙄 are mostly designer fragrances.
Some constructive criticism as a viewer who likes perfume and follows many influencers. I find that you continue to gatekeep and deliberately ignore questions about your clothes or specific questions about where and you purchase items. I think it is quite impolite, but I appreciate you so what you like, it's your channel. However, when your hobby, or how you make a living relies heavily on viewership and engagement. It might be best to put a disclaimer out and mention that while you reap the benefits of people viewing your channel and blowing smoke, there are some questions you won't answer. Because to just keep cherry picking what you will answer and keep ignoring viewers is rude and you need the interaction, the viewers actually don't. I will never subscribe to a channel like yours. Far too many lovely influencers that actually appreciate their viewers!
I don’t understand this comment at all, I try to respond to as many comments as I can but I can’t respond to everything. RUclips isn’t how I make a living, I hardly earn anything from here. You have to be a big channel to earn anything decent. Making one RUclips video can take me hours, sometimes a full day from filming to editing. I don’t purposely ignore comments, I just don’t have the time to always respond to everything unfortunately. I often get asked questions about lipstick or lipliner, sometimes weeks or months after the video was filmed and I can’t remember what I was wearing. I talk to many of my subscribers but I can’t answer everything. If I had the time I would answer everything but I am across 3 platforms. I have zero reason to gatekeep my clothes or anything, it’s just I don’t see every comment.
@@hayley.clough I did say your "hobby or how you make a living". You managed to answer and respond to this comment though, so please can you tell us where you got Blonde Amber from please, as that was left out of the vlog? Thanks for replying so swiftly.
Please don't panic. Say what you are comfortable saying. We don't need to know every thing apart from what's necessary. If you have to gatekeep it's a choice you are allowed to make.
Soie Malaquias is definitely worth the price. It is so unique. I have never smelled anything so feminine. It is absolutely stunning.
I adore Soie Malaquais, it is one of my favourites in my collection. I just think price is so subjective for everyone and also expensive is different for everyone. I would repurchase it again and again, I just wish it was under £200.
@@hayley.clough I love that they do refills of the Dries Van Noten scents, it will mean it's a lot cheaper to repurchase 🙂
Very true!!
@@hayley.clough Yes I wish the price was lower as well.
On my skin the dry down of Xerjoff Starlight is very similar to Soie Malaquais. However, I love the latter more.
Thank you for this. The fact that you tell us what you've bought, what you've paid for yourself, and if it's worth it means a lot to me personally.

Blonde Amber and Oud for Greatness are magnificent
I still believe that too, I just think the price point is very painful
@@hayley.clough agree, they are actually way overpriced, just because of the brand name.
Haley, I was drinking soda when you said the 1st price. I literally almost choked. Respect for hubby. 😊
It still makes me uneasy thinking about it 🫣
Soie malaquais from dries van noten is worth the price of admisssion! That bottle design is second to none! And it smells like a luxurious gourmand scent. So unique.
The bottle is phenomenal 🤩 I love Soie Malaquais, I just think it’s expensive. Prices are getting out of hand with inflation.

I can only speak on xerjoff and I completely agree with you. I would add ivory route into worth it. But although I love all my xerjoffs the others are not worth retail.
Once we get to the $300 mark, I don’t think any perfume is worth it. Not to say that there aren’t super interesting scents in that space.

You got a great price on Blond Amber. I saw the brand when i was in Jovoy recently but felt a bit intimidated to try in case I fell in love 😂
I was the same, I avoided the brand due to the cost and then I tried Blonde Amber and fell in love. Always worth deal hunting 🤗
I have everything you mentioned but Oud Nude :D
Hi Hayley!
Thank you for the video, I really enjoyed watching it.
I find that Casamorati - Bouquet ideale is very similar to Oud Nude by Guerlain. Don’t you feel it too?
Yes part 2❤
Long story short, the honest objective answer is: No, which is why the entire industry sells you a mental picture, a story.
Excellent video. Please put out a part 2.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Love your content!
What fragrances do you find similar to Loubirouge? I recently got a travel size and fell in love with it
Long story short. Yes they are. They are “luxury” fragrance for a reason. It’s not for everyone’s wallet. I have over 60k in niche fragrances and sure some are over price. But there’s a major difference in niche fragrances and the rest

I'm a Delina Exclusif girl myself when it comes to the Delina line 😅 The musk in the original dries down sharp on me 😢

How PDLN3 performance? Is wothy performance?
I paid £490 for a 50ml of blonde amber no fragrance is worth that & I don't like all the price increases but fragrances like Blonde Amber aren't aimed at people who earn less than 100k a year its as simple as that.
You chose violence today😂😂😂😂!!
I can't find that Roja anywhere.
Parfum De La Nuit No 3
@@hayley.clough That was fast, thank you so much!
Is PDLN 3 for men or women?
It’s unisex
ILUSM ❤

What was the name of the site you got blonde Amber from
?
Look Incredible
@@hayley.clough many thanks ☺️
A huge misconception that Niche is better than designer.
Again due to social media.
No offense to you but when RUclips fragrances reviewers started getting into niche fragrances it came across as a level up lifestyle.
And, I realise that the scape goat for the word 'Basic' 🙄 are mostly designer fragrances.
Some constructive criticism as a viewer who likes perfume and follows many influencers. I find that you continue to gatekeep and deliberately ignore questions about your clothes or specific questions about where and you purchase items. I think it is quite impolite, but I appreciate you so what you like, it's your channel.
However, when your hobby, or how you make a living relies heavily on viewership and engagement. It might be best to put a disclaimer out and mention that while you reap the benefits of people viewing your channel and blowing smoke, there are some questions you won't answer. Because to just keep cherry picking what you will answer and keep ignoring viewers is rude and you need the interaction, the viewers actually don't. I will never subscribe to a channel like yours. Far too many lovely influencers that actually appreciate their viewers!
I don’t understand this comment at all, I try to respond to as many comments as I can but I can’t respond to everything. RUclips isn’t how I make a living, I hardly earn anything from here. You have to be a big channel to earn anything decent. Making one RUclips video can take me hours, sometimes a full day from filming to editing. I don’t purposely ignore comments, I just don’t have the time to always respond to everything unfortunately.
I often get asked questions about lipstick or lipliner, sometimes weeks or months after the video was filmed and I can’t remember what I was wearing. I talk to many of my subscribers but I can’t answer everything. If I had the time I would answer everything but I am across 3 platforms. I have zero reason to gatekeep my clothes or anything, it’s just I don’t see every comment.
@@hayley.clough I did say your "hobby or how you make a living". You managed to answer and respond to this comment though, so please can you tell us where you got Blonde Amber from please, as that was left out of the vlog? Thanks for replying so swiftly.
Look Incredible is where I got Blonde Amber from, I didn’t mention where I bought it from as it sold out super quickly ☺️
Thank you, much appreciated ☺
Please don't panic.
Say what you are comfortable saying.
We don't need to know every thing apart from what's necessary.
If you have to gatekeep it's a choice you are allowed to make.
