Hey guys! Sorry I have a short term memory issue lol - I just added Tara's and Emmy's channel links now - please check them out if you haven't, they're amazing. Hope you enjoy today's video!
I get that a lot of people stick to what’s good for the “season” but you only live once. Wear whatever you want whenever you want; winter, spring, summer & fall. Wear them all!!!
Yes, I'm joining you on the low buy journey! 🙌 I've been decluttering lately and it feels so good to downsize! My goal is to have a fragrance "wardrobe" rather than a fragrance "collection". I want to actually use and enjoy all my perfumes rather than have full bottles that just sit there collecting dust. I've been buying samples and decants first rather than blind buying full bottles. So far, so good! 😁🤞
Everyone talks about Delina but she wasn't for me, Safanad is my girl I love her so much and I want to try a sample of Athalia it sounds like I would like it too.
Tried baccarat 540 on a piece of paper it smells lovely. However on my skin it smells too masculine on me. With a strong licorice dry down. It’s a hard pass for me. However, I really fell in love with gentle fluidity gold love the fresh and warm notes that it has. I will be definitely purchasing that one instead.
@@sidselalbertsen898 I completely agree. In the “real world” most people have never heard of many RUclips favorites. Nor would they spend so much money on a fragrance.
Yessss to the low buy journey....i just have maybe 5 that you recommended that I want to get...Narciso Rouge, Chance EDP, Midnight Shimmer, Mon Gerlain and Flowerbomb....once I get those I can slow down....I got 20 last year which is ridiculous....Im not a youtuber....but looking at your videos was really a great joy for 2020 and this year....having a moment to just enjoy what we do have... rather than focusing on what else should I get would help me tremendously...so thank you
If you haven’t tried always try to get a decant or sample.. not all of them are safe blind buys the NR was one of my least favorites of all time but everyone’s tastes are different lol
I am joining in on the low buy. Already sold 7 perfumes today that I have not worn in months and to be honest could not see myself wearing the a lot either. Quality over quantity! Motto for the year
Baccarat Rouge 540 is the longest lasting perfume in my collection by far. I love it so much. I want to get Delina Exclusif as I have a couple decants of Delina and while I like it, I have a feeling that I will love Exclusif more
You should try the new Delina La Rose! You might like it even more than the original. I find it to be sweeter and a bit more wearable. I like the idea of a low buy over a complete no buy! I’m definitely joining you. Last year got out of hand 😳
Dont you find Hundres Silent ways 99% similar to Black Opium? It is more longlasting ( like a lot longer) but the smell it self is 99 % alike. I like it a lot, though 😉🥰
Clicked on this so fast. Loved seeing your personal favorites. Fracas is my favorite ever niche perfume, and also my signature scent. Been wearing it for 5+ years. Do not blind buy, as it's very polarizing. others I do love & have samples of: Quelques Fleurs Royale, Kilian Love and Tears, Amouage Ciel, Kilian Straight to Heaven, Dita von Teese Rouge, Loree Rodkin Gothic I, Aroma m Geisha Noire, and Floris Lily of the Valley and the Honey Oud .
It took me soooo long to choose one of the three but i went with intense cafe just cuz of that initial coffee note and also i like the bottle the best lol, but yes they are almost identical.
I’ve been looking for a scent along the lines of Kilian Love but a bit softer and brighter, so I just blind bought Benevolence by House of Sillage! Can’t wait to see if it fits the bill. Although now you got me curious about Love & Crime! 😀
I'm so excited because I'm realizing our taste is getting more similar! Fleur De Portifino has been on my wish list for some time, but I have it as a spring time purchase. Bal'Dafrique and La Tulipe are my favorite from Byredo, and Hundred Silent Ways is my favorite (from what I've smelled) from Nishane! Have full bottles of both and I love love love them. Delina is actually on my purchase list now as well, although I haven't tried Exclusif. I used to think it was too sharp and piercing initially, but then I gave it a full day wear test and absolutely loved the mid and dry down. I will have to sample a few of the others you've mentioned!
Totally going on a low buy journey with you! Way too many fragrances and my want list keeps getting bigger 😩. Definitely need to make some hard decisions and cull some fragrances
Currently on a no buy for at least a couple of months 😁 at least i am waiting for some fragrances from my last haul/s... and will be continuing my low but this year.. i need to stick to the ones on my wishlist...
I want Delina Exclusif so bad! I have original Delina and it can be too tarte for me. And I can’t go on the low buy with you friend lol, I just bought Kilian Love Don’t Be Shy Extreme!
@@thesimplechiclife supposedly it’s less sweet/cloying. It has some rose notes to make it more softer and floral and a little Turkish delight like but has the original LDBS dna. It’s supposed to last a lot longer than the original. I’m so excited!
I won’t be discussing only expensive/niche perfumes. I have plenty of affordable fragrances I love and will always love, not only that but my collection is about 70% designer. I must say though.. the reason I find many fragrance reviewers end up going in the niche direction is for good reason. #1: there are only so many designer and flankers, eventually they become exhaustive and sometimes boring to continue hearing about over and over. #2: in the niche world there are SO many incredible note profiles and accords and fragrances just waiting to be discovered, that set you and your collection apart from every other one out there. #3: many of these niche can actually be found for very affordable prices on discount sites. I also believe in quality over quantity so I am of the opinion I’d rather spend $250 on one bottle I LOVE verses $500 on a bunch of designer I end up not loving for life. 😊. I never though I’d enjoy niche scents a year ago, and these days I’m finding I really do, but I think that’s because I’ve smelled hundreds of other non-niche and needed something new and interesting. 💗
@@thesimplechiclife I like hearing about Niche. Designer are okay but the real cheapies are usually pretty bad. Niche under $200 would be a sweet spot .
Well i am sure that all those reasons are right and i could t agree more but the problem is that there are some followers (like me) that cannot try-test fragrances that are niche and buy fragrances blindly based on your reviews or at the youbers that we think we have the same taste. So we blind buy them. But we must not go wrong with an expensive niche perfume because we will have spend much on buying it. I totally agree that niche are more interesting but not approachable (affordable). Don t take me wrong. I love you channel and i will continue following you. I just make a point of not "leaving" the designer perfumes. Thank you for your answer *i have bought several fragrances because of your reviews. Thank you.
@@annamela6939 there are some great "affordable," niche fragrances as well. Just as there are plenty of great designer fragrances. Just watch a variety of RUclipsrs and you'll see that "niche," doesn't have to mean expensive. Put "affordable niche," in the search bar 😊. I have and like BOTH, designer and niche.😁.
I have been smelling my arm since spraying Montale Roses Musk and even though it is synthetic once it settled down I am beginning to really like it. I think it’s reminiscent of Delina without the rhubarb?
I put Jadore on me this morning for the 2nd time. The 1st time I put it on I loved it!!!!!! Today I got so sick the smell gave me a migraine. What could it be
I'm I the only one who thinks Nishane Hundred Silent Ways smells very similar to Black Opium? I get Black Opium vibes from it but I prefer it over BO because it lasts longer
I am going to "try* a low buy as well... but there is so much that I want to try, and I count samples as purchases even though most would consider it okay during a low-buy. decisions decisions!
Time for a low buy stretch for sure. I hope all perfume channels do this. I bet all of you have incredoble depth you could get into besides hauls. It's gpod for all of us 🌷
Oh gosh I find roses musk so offensive. I love musks but this one is so pungent and synthetic it makes me recoil. Funny how our noses are all different but this is one that repulses me.
Tom Ford is designer ... not niche, even though it is from the private blend. If the house does ONLY fragrance they’re niche, if they make anything else they’re designer. 💞
Hey guys! Sorry I have a short term memory issue lol - I just added Tara's and Emmy's channel links now - please check them out if you haven't, they're amazing. Hope you enjoy today's video!
I really like that perfume youtubers recommend each other's accounts these days. It does give a family vibe to the entire enterprise!
Agreed:)
I get that a lot of people stick to what’s good for the “season” but you only live once. Wear whatever you want whenever you want; winter, spring, summer & fall. Wear them all!!!
I've been saying this since December, literally. I'm over it! I'm focusing solely on what I love.
🙌🏻 🙌🏻 yes I watched your declutter last night. Refreshing, girl!! So refreshing 😌
Yes me too
I'm trying to save this year but these videos just make me want to buy every fragrance you mention

Thank you so much for the mention ❤️ I am so glad you love 100 silent ways. Love and Crime is so delicious, love it
I have few niche perfumes and perfumes from old french perfume houses. I like them but I still admire designers perfumes too.
You didn’t mention Ylang in Gold by michellaf! I am surprised 😮
I just bought the bal d’ Afrique. I can’t wait until it arrives to try it .
I think you said A Hundred Silent Ways was coming in the mail. It sounds amazing. Thank you for a great video.
I don’t think you’ve talked about Lira yet. I just love that one; to me it’s as good as Ani.
Tried baccarat 540 on a piece of paper it smells lovely. However on my skin it smells too masculine on me. With a strong licorice dry down. It’s a hard pass for me. However, I really fell in love with gentle fluidity gold love the fresh and warm notes that it has. I will be definitely purchasing that one instead.
I think I will be avoiding delina line and bacarat rouge as they seem way to popular... I love the other choices thanks xo
Hey 😊 In the "real world" no one knows about these fragranses I think. Its a RUclips phenomenon.
At least in Denmark 🙏 I own both 😊

Because of you ; I added Nishane ani, Hundred silent ways, and montale roses musc to my wishlist list for future purchase.
I am joining in on the low buy. Already sold 7 perfumes today that I have not worn in months and to be honest could not see myself wearing the a lot either. Quality over quantity! Motto for the year
woohoo!!! :) Me too!
I also generally consider the designer private lines / exclusives as niche fragrances ☺️
Baccarat Rouge 540 is the longest lasting perfume in my collection by far. I love it so much. I want to get Delina Exclusif as I have a couple decants of Delina and while I like it, I have a feeling that I will love Exclusif more

Wow great choices.. I was expecting atleast one from Micallef...
I want to try delina Exclusif desperately.. 😛 it sounds stunning.. isn't it?🥰

It is more longlasting ( like a lot longer) but the smell it self is 99 % alike.
I like it a lot, though 😉🥰

I love DE too. The exclusive is creamy and I wish I’d gotten that one instead of Delina but I still like the original.
I think Tom Ford is a designer and not niche, but it is expensive and levels up with niche fragrances.
Byredos Slow Dance and Gypsy Water are on my list!!
The Tom Ford portofino bottle is stunning!!!! I would like to try the Idolo and Byredo. They sound very interesting.
I purchased 12 new bottle of perfumes two of them r back up. I’m good fn. I’m going to enjoy my new fragrances and perhaps sell some i no longer like.
Can’t wait for the Roses Musk, Roses Vanille and Intense Cafe comparison! People say Delina Exclusif smells like Intense Cafe - is this true?
I would not say that are similar at all except there is a syrupy ness to them and rose.. but they’re so so different otherwise.
I don’t find them similar but that’s my nose:). I much much prefer Delina Exclusif over intense cafe.
Thanks guys! :)
It took me soooo long to choose one of the three but i went with intense cafe just cuz of that initial coffee note and also i like the bottle the best lol, but yes they are almost identical.
This video made me pull out some of my Luckyscent samples....lol! I put on Bal D'Arique to test again!
Yay!:) yes I had almost cast it aside!
@@thesimplechiclife So far i really like it!
Looking forward to the Montale Mancera review

Nishane Hundred Silent Ways is what I wanted Delina Exclusif to be. Luckily, I have HSW so I don’t have to be disappointed with DE anymore!!!
I noticed that Ex Idolo in Tara's collection too. 👀 Eyes on the prize.
Love your videos. Can I know the name of your plant 🌱 please ?
I love seeing niche perfumes reviews, thanks for sharing
I want Delina Exclusif so bad! I have original Delina and it can be too tarte for me. And I can’t go on the low buy with you friend lol, I just bought Kilian Love Don’t Be Shy Extreme!
😯 wow certainly not low buy!!!! I am so curious how that one is?

Hi ! What about Ylang in golf? Isn’t good enough?
I have been smelling my arm since spraying Montale Roses Musk and even though it is synthetic once it settled down I am beginning to really like it. I think it’s reminiscent of Delina without the rhubarb?
100 silent ways sounds so romantic![
it really is! :) so classy and elegant, yet has some strength and depth to it.
Thanks for the video! :)
Can you let us know how is the performance on Byredo’s Bal D’Afrique? Longevity and sillage wise?
Yes I’ll do an updated one for sure :)
I put Jadore on me this morning for the 2nd time. The 1st time I put it on I loved it!!!!!! Today I got so sick the smell gave me a migraine. What could it be
Hmm I’m not sure. I have some days that are more headachy than others as well.
Niche doesn’t refer to price it refers to a niche brand not a big brand like Ester Lauder which makes Tom Ford. It’s the opposite of niche,
I'm joining you on the low-buy! Moving soon and don't want to haul over so many "things"
I ordered BR 540 sample and I gotta admit there’s something SO addicting about it, I keep coming back to sniff my wrist over and over again ...
Love the presentation of your videos.. 👏🏽👏🏽
I'm I the only one who thinks Nishane Hundred Silent Ways smells very similar to Black Opium? I get Black Opium vibes from it but I prefer it over BO because it lasts longer
Really?? I didn’t get black opium 🤔 but I can see where it would have a resemblance for sure
Love the selection!! 🌺💛
thank you!
I want you to review the new delina rosee
I would also love to sniff that one!:) it sounds like it will be lovely. I’m going to try to get my hands on some:)
Do you think Love & Crime smells similar to Lira? I just blind bought Love & Crime after I saw this video.. but I already have Lira. 😬
It’s not that similar; I also have a sample of lira and I wasn’t head over heels ready to buy it but that doesn’t mean I won’t in the futur!:)
Loved this video! I trust your taste with my whole heart:)
Mojave Ghost is very nice as well
Yes I also like Mohave Ghost a lot!!
Any thoughts of Delina La Rosee?
what is your opinion about Hundred silent ways during Summer? i blind bought 15ml size
I think it’s great for anytime of year, it’s a very versatile floral:)
This is really helpful thank you😋
I am going to "try* a low buy as well... but there is so much that I want to try, and I count samples as purchases even though most would consider it okay during a low-buy. decisions decisions!
I will try to not purchase another perfume until one is completely done.....

See how Bal D' Afrique smell on your boyfriend to. On my boyfriend it smells sooo masculin 😍
On me, less
