The way my eyes widened when you said you hate Black Opium after watching a more recent video of you saying it's one of your favorite coffee fragrance LOL Funny how our tastes change. I, for one, am team Black Opium, she's never done me wrong lol
Jimmy Choo by Jimmy Choo is amazing! I bought it as a blind buy and I hadn’t heard anyone talk about it! It will be a permanent in my collection and lasts soooooo long! So unique
I love Jimmy Choo by Jimmy Choo.. i also blind bought it, because i saw some good reviews here on youtube! I get soo many compliments when i wear this perfume. It’s always: “omg.. what are you wearing?!! I must have it!”.. It’s a headturner for sure!
Alien is refillable as well, even you’re purse spray. The bottom will say refillable, you can pay a cheaper price to refill Macy’s Nordstrom. Try Chanel allure it’s a classy scent. And I love Chanel N5 EDP. 💎
Like you, I did not like Alien initially. I revisited it years later and thought..."what was I thinking?!!" I am absolutely obsessed with this gem of a perfume and totally get what you mean when you say it does something to you physically. Has the same effect on me. Now I must give Olympea a try! Btw, LOVE your content and how you present it : )
I love watching your videos. It looks like we have the same liking on perfumes. I have most of your perfume. I love Lancome. My skin care is all lancome too.
If you are searching for niche brand i think you will love xerjoff dama bianca... i work as surgical nurse and all of my colleagues complimented on how i smell they would say i smell so good and so yummy!!! It’s not overpowering, not too floral not too sweet just the right blend
Love alien and olympea 😍 Also i guess you could try d&g the only one to replace black opium... i much prefer the only one that got rid of opium... plus d&g has patchouli as a base note as well
Judging by your collection, you should try Tom Ford Noir Pour Femme, it’s a spicy, creamy gourmand. It smells like the spices & desserts during Christmas time. AlsoI love Valentino Donna, Bottega Venetta Eau de Velours is a more grown up feminine classy version of Donna. Donna is more playful & flirty.
i had to remove some fragrances from my collection becuase i had so many that they made me confused lol. now i have only 3 sweet perfumes and 4 fresh ones and thats all. my 3 sweet scents are poison girl, la nuit tresor and flowerbomb. my fresh scents are light blue intense, ck in2u, dkny nectar love and also a cheap but amazing zara orchid. when its up to black opium i have the same opinion. its so generic, ultra popular and everyone wears it. even my boyfriends ex lol. also black opium has many cheap dupes which are popular and i smell them everywhere :/ also for me black opium smells cheap idk.
Ok deal!:) except I have to wait a couple weeks because my boyfriend has put me on a strict perfume purchasing hiatus lol. (I buy my own stuff but he’s recognizing that I may have a problem and intervening lol)
You should try out Lancome Tresor Midnight rose! It's super jammy rose! It's very delicious & it's sillage is loud & the fragrance is very long lasting & has much more depth then the Black Opium! If only you could smell the original Miss Dior 2005, it's a very beautiful. Has this strawberry champagne smell to it! Very boozy, but very heavy & could be worm all year round! The 2005 is super hard to find & super expensive if you find a bottle!
Hmmm you’re tempting me to buy yet another fragrance that I don’t need haha:). Thank you so much for the recommendation! Please keep the recommendations coming!:)
I had Alien and although I finished the bottle I never really liked it. I still have no idea why I bought it in the first place. I just found it too overpowering. This was probably close to 10 years ago so I may feel different about it now.
The last time I smelled Alien, it reminded me of grapes being stomped at a vineyard. I liked it, but I currently want fragrances I can wear in the day and night. I also love angel edt and plan to buy a bottle
I love Hypnotic poison 🥰 I also love the smell of Alien but it gives me migraines. I have heard it has been reformulated, maybe the newer version would be better? Considered getting Alien Fusion as it is said to be a lighter version but I'm not sure what to do!x
@@thesimplechiclife I think I might try and get a sample of Fusion 😊 there's something about Mugler fragrances that I'm super sensitive to, I feel like I need to wash most of them off immediately. I do love the way several of them smell though! Hopefully a tester will help x
I’ve been collecting good perfumes and it’s only last month that i bought the alien... i tried it i’m still not so in-love with it... i’ll give it more try
Thank you!:). I enjoyed making them. I was asking myself the same question... I’d have to say Miss Dior. It’s the perfect daytime scent, but it’s hard to choose just one.
Hi.. Nice collection.. The hypnotic . Poison you have shown is of which version?? This one is formulated over the years so just curious to know which one you hold..
The Simple Chic Life I get a really buttery lily, not so much leather which I typically dislike actually, I do really enjoy it though, purchased a decant and I’m debating a bottle :) Frassai just listed their discovery set btw, I purchased so that I can try the others too
I have Jimmy Choo Exotic for the summer that I wear with the body shops strawberry body butter. It’s discontinued but you can still find it like on Mecari. I sold my original Jimmy Choo on Mecari. I liked it but could do with out.
I value your opinion and was wondering it you could help me out. I recently purchased Flowerbomb (all your fault...lol!) and I absolutely love it so thank you! Now I'm trying to decide if I should add Jimmy Choo EDP to my collection. Are the 2 different enough to own both?
Haha 😂 I’m glad you picked up the flowerbomb on my suggestion:). Yes they are different enough. However my preference is the flowerbomb over the Jimmy choo:). But Jimmy choo is gorgeous as well!!:)
@@thesimplechiclife Appreciate you getting back to me with your thoughts! Happy to know that you would choose FB over JC 🤗 Now I'm not in a huge rush to get it. I will wait for the stores to reopen here in Toronto so I can sniff and test it out on my skin instead of making a blind buy purchase. Have a great rest of the evening! 💗
Unfortunately I had that and it lasted all of 20 minutes on me, maybe. I’ve heard and read a lot of reviews about its performance being poor:( I sold it. But it was a LOVELY fragrance if it would last.
Maybe try the flanker from paco randonne the intense I hear its amazing. I love the original olympea so I probably won’t but I watched a you tuber that loves it. Jimmy Choo is amazing love it so so much my favourite. Great video
Alien is sublime, absolutely beautiful, I have the perfume and body cream ...I actually hated it originally too ! ........BUT now ! ! man it really is the best ...the very best Jasmine Fragrance in my opinion..the sillage and lasting power is off the scale ,,,, it’s good good ! On a side note...Tom Ford to me is over hyped..I have purchased 3 of his scents and they all smell awful on my skin....even perfume he markets as feminine fragrances all lean very very masculine on me ....all have a dirty nappy vibe ..nope TF not for me .....
You know Lisa you're right, this video was made very early on in my channel's journey. Looking back I know I didn't word things properly all the time and it's important to consider how someone might perceive what you say on RUclips. But I'll let you know I'm not a young clueless girl. I'm an experienced woman and I'm closer to 50 than I am to a "young girl". Just as I should be careful what I say doesn't offend others, so should those commenting on videos. Happy Holidays.
If anyone thinks they know of something I’d like based on what you’ve already seen, please let me know below! I really appreciate the ideas!!
Have you ever tried Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille? It's so yummy I'm asking for it for Mother's day
Did you try poison girl unexpected? We have very similar taste and my all time favourite is Alien as well.
Going totally off piste, how about Mugler's Aura?
I have tried both and can review them:). I have only a flanker in my possession and let just say I prefer the flanker! :)
have you tried girl of now? i’ve heard good things and considering a blind buy but would love your opinion if you’ve tried it:)
The way my eyes widened when you said you hate Black Opium after watching a more recent video of you saying it's one of your favorite coffee fragrance LOL Funny how our tastes change. I, for one, am team Black Opium, she's never done me wrong lol
Omg did I say I hated black opium haha 😂 wow how times change
@@thesimplechiclife okay no maybe you didn't say you HATED it haha but you were definitely NOT fond of it in the slightest at the time of this video 😅
Jimmy Choo by Jimmy Choo is amazing! I bought it as a blind buy and I hadn’t heard anyone talk about it! It will be a permanent in my collection and lasts soooooo long! So unique
Agreed! I love Jimmy Choo. So lovely and mature yet sexy at the same time.
Turned shaving cream on me unfortunately. Wish I could figure out what note/notes turn like that on my skin.
Sophie from Soki London talks about Jimmy Choo EDP on her channel. It's one of her favourites and she mentions it often.
If you're looking for a sweet-coffee-vanilla to replace the Black Opium, try out Montale Intense Cafe :) its 100% more original and beautiful
With Intense Cafe all I get is a beautiful smoky rose. Very unique.
I just found your channel in my hunt for great fragrance content, and really enjoyed your collection videos! Keep the fragrance content coming 😊
Thank you!! I really appreciate the comment!:)
Again, love your part 2 perfume collection 😍 try to layer Alien and Good girl and see what happens 😋😋
I love Jimmy Choo by Jimmy Choo.. i also blind bought it, because i saw some good reviews here on youtube! I get soo many compliments when i wear this perfume. It’s always: “omg.. what are you wearing?!! I must have it!”.. It’s a headturner for sure!
You don't have a collection You have a store
And this was a few months ago! Lol:) 💕
I can enjoy your video like a podcast talking and explaining about perfumes which I was searching for.
Alien is refillable as well, even you’re purse spray. The bottom will say refillable, you can pay a cheaper price to refill Macy’s Nordstrom. Try Chanel allure it’s a classy scent. And I love Chanel N5 EDP. 💎
Allure is definitely on my list!:)
It's so sophisticated, love it.
Thank you so much for the help Louise! 💕
I love black opium ❤️
Like you, I did not like Alien initially. I revisited it years later and thought..."what was I thinking?!!" I am absolutely obsessed with this gem of a perfume and totally get what you mean when you say it does something to you physically. Has the same effect on me. Now I must give Olympea a try! Btw, LOVE your content and how you present it : )
Thank you so much:) 💕
I think the Black Opium in the blue bottle is the best one. I had the original and gave it to my mom.
I love watching your videos. It looks like we have the same liking on perfumes. I have most of your perfume. I love Lancome. My skin care is all lancome too.
If you are searching for niche brand i think you will love xerjoff dama bianca... i work as surgical nurse and all of my colleagues complimented on how i smell they would say i smell so good and so yummy!!! It’s not overpowering, not too floral not too sweet just the right blend
thanks for the idea!! I'll have to check into finding myself a bottle or sample!! :)
Alien is on the way omg I cannot wait
Mine is on the way too I'm not sleeping today lol
Would love to hear you discuss oud fragrances! I personally love Montale’s (Oudmazing and Aoud Queen Roses)
Great collection! And I really like your voice:) Subscribed)
Thank you! Strangely I get that compliment a lot about my voice!? I don’t know why but it’s flattering, so thank u!:)
I love the black opium
Hi! I saw that you said you’d give away your black opium? Did you ever find someone to give it to and also just curious what size that is?
Just found your channel and watched both episodes. Nicely done! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!:)
If you want a good niche fragrance that has a beautiful coffee note try Montale’s Intense Cafe 💖
Thank you for the suggestion! I actually have a travel size of that on the way:) can’t wait to try it
The Simple Chic Life I love it and Roses Musk, my two favorite Montales (I’ve tried a few discovery sets)
If you like La Nuit Tresor, try Nina Ricci L'Extase. It's an amped up version. And made by Francis Kurkijian.
My two favourite Olympea and Alien🥰🥰🥰🥰
You have great taste!!!
Love alien and olympea 😍
Also i guess you could try d&g the only one to replace black opium... i much prefer the only one that got rid of opium... plus d&g has patchouli as a base note as well
Yes I used to have the one, not the only one; but I really enjoyed it.:)
Judging by your collection, you should try Tom Ford Noir Pour Femme, it’s a spicy, creamy gourmand. It smells like the spices & desserts during Christmas time. AlsoI love Valentino Donna, Bottega Venetta Eau de Velours is a more grown up feminine classy version of Donna. Donna is more playful & flirty.
I have the Noir de Noir and have yet to sniff the Noir pour femme but I’m sure it would be ammaazzinngg!:).
Not sure if you saw my perfume video part one but I also have valentino donna and love it as well!:)
i had to remove some fragrances from my collection becuase i had so many that they made me confused lol. now i have only 3 sweet perfumes and 4 fresh ones and thats all. my 3 sweet scents are poison girl, la nuit tresor and flowerbomb. my fresh scents are light blue intense, ck in2u, dkny nectar love and also a cheap but amazing zara orchid. when its up to black opium i have the same opinion. its so generic, ultra popular and everyone wears it. even my boyfriends ex lol. also black opium has many cheap dupes which are popular and i smell them everywhere :/ also for me black opium smells cheap idk.
My favorite parfumes are Mugler-Alien, Paco Rabanne-Olympea and Versace-Eros. I think you shoud try Eros. It's also very sensual and beautiful. 😊
I do remember smelling it and I was tempted to buy a bottle blindly but I’m trying to wait until I can re-smell it!:).
Ok deal!:) except I have to wait a couple weeks because my boyfriend has put me on a strict perfume purchasing hiatus lol. (I buy my own stuff but he’s recognizing that I may have a problem and intervening lol)
Try it and i think you will like it. If you buy it, i'll love to see your review on it. :))
great review l love it..l love perfumes Alien , Tom Ford and Gurelian...
i love Parfume i'm from belguim i have over 72 parfumes!❤️❤️❤️
thank you so much for your support, and hello from Canada
You should try out Lancome Tresor Midnight rose! It's super jammy rose! It's very delicious & it's sillage is loud & the fragrance is very long lasting & has much more depth then the Black Opium!
If only you could smell the original Miss Dior 2005, it's a very beautiful. Has this strawberry champagne smell to it! Very boozy, but very heavy & could be worm all year round! The 2005 is super hard to find & super expensive if you find a bottle!
Hmmm you’re tempting me to buy yet another fragrance that I don’t need haha:). Thank you so much for the recommendation! Please keep the recommendations coming!:)
@@thesimplechiclife It's hard to be simple with perfume because there's so much out there to still sniff :)
I had Alien and although I finished the bottle I never really liked it. I still have no idea why I bought it in the first place. I just found it too overpowering. This was probably close to 10 years ago so I may feel different about it now.
I understand what you mean! That’s how I felt in the beginning as well. It’s true, our tastes change over time. You might surprise yourself!
Kindly list the names of the perfumes in the description box... thank you...what I’ll also recommend based on your perfume collection is JPG La Belle
Absolutely! I can do that. Thanks for the suggestion ❤️ and I have heard such good things about La Belle!! It’s been on my radar for a while:):):).
Again, love your part 2 perfume collection 😍 try to layer/mix Alien and Good girl and see what happens 😋😋
You said you are looking for something different; to replace the Opium - Try Killian Woman in Gold
Mmm sounds intriguing !! I might have to get my hands on a sample.
The last time I smelled Alien, it reminded me of grapes being stomped at a vineyard. I liked it, but I currently want fragrances I can wear in the day and night. I also love angel edt and plan to buy a bottle
I love Hypnotic poison 🥰 I also love the smell of Alien but it gives me migraines. I have heard it has been reformulated, maybe the newer version would be better? Considered getting Alien Fusion as it is said to be a lighter version but I'm not sure what to do!x

Yes.... try it for a hot night out (hot like sexy not hot like temperature lol), and see how u feel!:)
Keep it and keep trying it
If you could only have one daytime scent from your round tray which one would it be? Loved these videos x
Thank you!:). I enjoyed making them. I was asking myself the same question... I’d have to say Miss Dior. It’s the perfect daytime scent, but it’s hard to choose just one.
Hi.. Nice collection.. The hypnotic . Poison you have shown is of which version?? This one is formulated over the years so just curious to know which one you hold..
I believe the newest one. It was purchased not long ago so I’m assuming as such:)
I was SO disappointed with Blondine, I bought it because of Demi Rawling as well and all I could smell was floral, it was so expensive too 😰
Oh no! It’s so odd how people smell different things. I get leather and butter with just a small amount of floral. I think it’s gorgeous:)
The Simple Chic Life I get a really buttery lily, not so much leather which I typically dislike actually, I do really enjoy it though, purchased a decant and I’m debating a bottle :) Frassai just listed their discovery set btw, I purchased so that I can try the others too
I have Jimmy Choo Exotic for the summer that I wear with the body shops strawberry body butter. It’s discontinued but you can still find it like on Mecari. I sold my original Jimmy Choo on Mecari. I liked it but could do with out.

i love Alien! buy the gold one essance! i was in love with this sent omg! ❤️❤️❤️
It’s sold out everywhere! Except a couple of overseas stores:/
The Simple Chic Life
no way really! here in Belguim! its still wait i will help you!❤️🇧🇪🇧🇪
Where did you find the Blondine? I’m thinking of getting it 🤪
Check out Hugo Boss the scent private accord.😊
Unfortunately I had that and it lasted all of 20 minutes on me, maybe. I’ve heard and read a lot of reviews about its performance being poor:( I sold it. But it was a LOVELY fragrance if it would last.
Alíen is my favorite as well.
Maybe try the flanker from paco randonne the intense I hear its amazing. I love the original olympea so I probably won’t but I watched a you tuber that loves it. Jimmy Choo is amazing love it so so much my favourite. Great video
I don’t mind the intense but it’s more sweet and lacks that salty note that I love so much, so it wasn’t and instant grab for me.:). And thank you!!
Alien is also my absolute favorite. The only other scent that comes close is Dior Poison (original).
thank you!
The fact that she didnt use a coaster under the coffee mug is giving me anxiety 😭
😂 I’m sorry Cyerra!!:) I usually do and I am in my new place 😉
yes to bella rosa really beautiful. nope to jimmy choo for me dont like at all smells cheap to me.
i remember smelling black opium and thinking i couldnt smell anything it was so plain
Hello is anyone knows if the nude tresor la nuit is or will be available in Canada?
You have lovely hands.
Alien is sublime, absolutely beautiful, I have the perfume and body cream ...I actually hated it originally too ! ........BUT now ! ! man it really is the best ...the very best Jasmine Fragrance in my opinion..the sillage and lasting power is off the scale ,,,, it’s good good !
On a side note...Tom Ford to me is over hyped..I have purchased 3 of his scents and they all smell awful on my skin....even perfume he markets as feminine fragrances all lean very very masculine on me ....all have a dirty nappy vibe ..nope TF not for me .....
Totally agree with the alien but!:) 👾 Tom ford for me has been great so far, I love most of his fragrances :):)
The Simple Chic Life ......just different skin chemistry 😊......
I smelled the Carolina Herrera perfume and I didn’t like it
I don’t have it anymore... I enjoyed it initially but this was when I was still quite new to the Fragrance game.
Me too.. I am not a fan of carolina herrera good girl. My cousin wears it and i just dont like the scent. Totally into black opium 100%
Try pink sugar
I’ve own that before actually!! It’s very good, just takes me back to some not so great memories lol:)
The jimmy choo one is so bad. It's smell like soap and chip
I guess this young lady doesn’t think women over 50 should wear sultry, sexy fragrances. What a clueless young girl!
You know Lisa you're right, this video was made very early on in my channel's journey. Looking back I know I didn't word things properly all the time and it's important to consider how someone might perceive what you say on RUclips.

Haha can you please gift it to me...
I’ll tell you what... I won’t rule anything out!:)
Haha
You have lovely hands.
Thank you:)
