Hey all! Please let me know what your top higher end perfumes are? Also if you missed my designer version it’s linked in the description! Also sorry for my lack of vocabulary in the beginning (mirror on a stick wth 🤦🏻♀️?? 😆). Anyhow, I hope you enjoy!!!!
@@Phaphane06 I would say it is moderate. It is not great for the money. You have to overspray or refresh it if you want it to last. I have three Loubiworld fragrances and I have multiple samples of the other ones. Honestly all seven are good and are worth the money to me because of the DNA. I don't think you will be disappointed by Loubirouge. It's universally appealing and a serious compliment getter. But it is not beast mode in any way. Also it looks really big but it is 90ml.
I’ve recently bought a 30ml bottle of Lira from Twisted Lily as the 30ml size is unavailable in Australia. It’s due to arrive this week and I’m so excited! I also agree that it doesn’t smell like a lemon cookie, though there’s definitely an edible cake and icing sweetness on my skin. If you want a really pleasant, easy to like and wearable citrus gourmand, try Lemon Sherbet from 4160 Tuesdays. It’s a beautiful tangy lemon and vanilla musk scent, I wear it to the gym because it’s just so comforting and uplifting 😊
So happy that Blue turqoise & contre moi made it into your top 5! They’re my top 3 definitely ❤️🥰so glad you enjoy them and thank you for the mention 😘
My niche fav would be 1/atomic rose initio-major love 2/Pdm Delina exclusif-keep coming back for it 3/byredo rose of no mans land-clean and comforting smell 4/MFK oud satin mood- the dry down is the best 5/MFK gentle fluidity gold-classy and a lil bit of sweetness behind it
I blind bought bleu turquoise at the Bay based on your recommendation and I absolutely adore it ! Thank you so much as I never would have found this gem on my own . You have exquisite taste Ilythia 👏
Usually if it's designer, not really niche, but higher end, I call it luxury. So I have designer, luxury, niche and indie. Great vid! I love (and have) LV Attrape Reves and also LV Matiere Noir. I still want to try LV Cœr Battant
yes absolutely! I grouped them together. I guess I could have called it Luxury as well; I guess to many people in the world, even a "basic" lower end designer is still luxury - but yes I totally feel you :). When I was 20, having a discounted Armani Si would have still been considered luxury to me :)
Grand Soir,. Have you tried any lipsticks from Louboutin? Loved your growth. So proud of you. Great taste.Much love and happiness.i still love my Olympea line..🤖🤖💟🤖🤖
I got my beautiful antique mirror from Etsy! They have a great inventory of antique vanity stuff-everything really. Also kayali vanilla 28 is available on feelunique right now. My favorites are Lavandes Trianon, MFK oud satin mood, Xerjoff starlight, PDM Safanad and Armani Rose D’arabie
My top 5 are: Dama Bianca, Rouge Smoking, LVEB, Delina Exclusif, and Miss Dior (2017) with an honorable mention to Gentle fluidity gold and the new Miss Dior (2021).❤❤❤
Great picks! I love Bleu Turquoise as well but it is so strong that I can only wear it once in a while--and I only have a sample. Your description of it in this video and in the dedicated video in the past is perfect. Definitely a rich seaside spa type of scent. It's so salty and vanilla caramel like. Totally unique. I actually bought Bleu Lazuli instead and love that one - find it very easy to wear.
I just blind bought Loubirouge, and…. I don’t know. I like it, but I’m not sure I love it. The cardamom note is beautiful, but it’s definitely more floral than I was anticipating. It’s a very sophisticated and feminine fragrance, but not sure it’s for me. I might sell it and get Loubidoo instead, which is a beautiful sweet rose scent. Also have Changing Constance on the way as another blind buy :)
I had a sample of Lira after the first time I saw you talking about it and I liked it more than Love dont be shy by Kilian,but it didnt impress me. A few days back I had the opportunity to buy a partial bottle and the price was good so I went for it,OMG, it smells so much better than the sample,I am so glad I got it. One of my best purchases. In the sample I couldnt feel the red orange in the beginning but from the bottle I can smell it and its beautiful.
I just blind bought Contre Moi and it wasn’t what I expected at all, on my skin it’s all green and powdery? No sweetness at alll. Would you say Contre Moi or Attrapes Reves is sweeter for you? I would only get Attrapes Reves if it’s sweeter as that’s what I was after initially
I’m just on a huge Chanel kick. Only purchase in the past few weeks was a 2018 red bottle of No 5 L’eau, I consider it my new signature. All I want to wear lately is Chanel (I now have 7) and I’ve tried some new niche samples in between but.. nothing worth trying again. High end designer favs: Rouge Malachite, Oranges Bigarades, Must de Cartier Parfum (vintage). Edited to add: Grand Soir, Gourmand Coquin
I think my top 5 would have to be Byredo Gyspy Water, Diptyque Eau Duelle EDT, Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt, MFK BR540 EDP, and the 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods. Honourable mention to VC&A Orchidee Vanille (not sure if it's considered niche or not!)
So I bought a bottle of KAYALI vanilla 28 and the smell is so strong at first it actually made me sneeze.The smell is beautiful,I really looove it, but within minutes it disappears.I covered myself with it, on my hair, on my clothes, on my skin.I cant wrap my head around it. I see the juice in your bottle is darker. Will it get better in time from maceration and it will become more long lasting? What do you think?
I really want a Louis Vuitton fragrance in my collection both of the ones that you have sound amazing!! Great list btw, I had no idea kayali was so elusive. I must have been really lucky when I ordered mine and I will cherish it. ❤️
Top 5 would be BDK Gris Charnel, Guerlain Spirituese Double Vanille, Kayali Sweet Diamond Pink Pepper, Kilian Princess, BR540 Extrait... OMG I have to add Kilian Good Girl Gone Bad!
The perfume that smells like the inside of an expensive handbag to me is bottega veneta 😊 Do you have that one in your collection still? Does contre moi have the same vibe?
@@thesimplechiclife I know what you mean. I loved it but couldn’t wear it. Luckily I found the (now discontinued) eau legere version on eBay. This one’s perfect! Hope they can bring it back.
I really tried to make Bleu Turquoise work, but it is just too masculine for me. The marine accord is too noticeable throughout the wear. I tried to make it work on clothes as well. Contre Moi may work though, thank you.
I'm sorry you found that with it - I find it super feminine and I'm someone who really doesn't like smelling masculine, but I guess everyone's nose will perceive it differently. :)
Hi Ilythia! Great selection😍 I also love Armani Prive Blue Turquoise 🥰 I sampled Loubirouge because of your description and then found a lot of people say it's similar to Changing Constance. Since now you have both are they really similar?
I don't find Loubirouge similar to Changing Constance at all!!! Changing constance is a sweet, spicy caramel scent it's more masculine leaning and the type of spice is a real firey kick not a soft woody spice. Loubirouge has this soft spiciness almost like the inside of an old house (in a good way), and is powdery, not sweet, and feminine. They're very different!!!
Question, how much better is LDBS extreme than the original? My skin chemistry does not get along with the original one. If it's more rose dominant that would be perfect! For some reason the combo of orange blossom and jasmine don't work well on me. 🤷🏻♀️ I like the level of sweetness, just not the notes of the original.
it totally depends - I'm not saying it IS better, I just prefer it more. Some people prefer the original one. The LDBS extreme to me is just so feminine, powdery, sweet, it's similar to the OG but less neroli/caramel/sugar sweet and more rose/marshmallow sweet. :). that's the best way I can put it.
Hi! Do you think Loubirouge is similar to Lune Feline? I have LF and i would like to buy Loubirouge but i will not if it's similar.and my top 5 are Grand Soir, Caftan, Eau Duelle edp, Oud Satine Mood ext and Symphonium
I had a sample of Lune Feline and no the are very different. It would be a good choice!!! It is very smooth, vanilla, powdery, a bit woody - it has no harshness, no real spicy "kick" like what youd' find with pimento or something. It's just rich smooth vanilla luxury :)
@@thesimplechiclife I got it and it reminds of orchidee vanille by van clef and arpels which I adore! I do love it, now I want to buy all of the Kayali perfumes😍
Hey all! Please let me know what your top higher end perfumes are? Also if you missed my designer version it’s linked in the description! Also sorry for my lack of vocabulary in the beginning (mirror on a stick wth 🤦🏻♀️?? 😆). Anyhow, I hope you enjoy!!!!

You're so welcome! I'm glad you love it! I really have to thank Amanda Soignee for that one!! She was where I first heard it :)
Loubirouge is so good and it's inoffensive. Everyone loves it and it's never too much. As you said, it is an easy wearing fragrance.
How is the lasting power? I wanted to snag a CL fragrance before the Saks beauty sale is over

Ive been waiting for you to review lv contre moi. I love it! 😍❤
I’m so intrigued by Blue Turquoise 😍
I really want a Louis Vuitton fragrance in my collection both of the ones that you have sound amazing!! Great list btw, I had no idea kayali was so elusive. I must have been really lucky when I ordered mine and I will cherish it. ❤️
yes do cherish it!!! i think because the Vanilla especially gets so much hype, it's hard to keep it in stock.
MMM Replica Jazz Club, Roja Enigma Parfum Cologne, Guerlain Angelique Noire, Creed Millesime Imperial, Kilian Moonlight in Heaven 🥰🥰🥰
Never really heard a lot about Bleu Turquoise, might need to visit a boutique tonight :)
Hey friends my 5 favourite perfect mini love ❤️

Good Evening Ilythia, lovely content as always.
Good evening!:)
Top 5 favorite Niche: Ambre Fetiche Annick Goutal, Chocolate Greedy Montale, Mandorlo di Sicilia Acqua di Parma, Ciel de GUM and Grand Soir by MFK

There's no safe blindbuy. Especially at some of those prices
Im ordering decants of most of these :)
I need a recommendation for a new perfume! Loubirouge, BR540 extrait or a Louis vuttion perfume one that has decent longevity!
The perfume that smells like the inside of an expensive handbag to me is bottega veneta 😊 Do you have that one in your collection still? Does contre moi have the same vibe?
Yes!!! I totally see that. I used to have it but it did start to pull a bit animalic on me :/
@@thesimplechiclife I know what you mean. I loved it but couldn’t wear it. Luckily I found the (now discontinued) eau legere version on eBay. This one’s perfect! Hope they can bring it back.
Yay first hehe! Loved this! ❤️❤️❤️

Hi, please try Lavandes Trianon by Lancôme if you haven’t already.
I have been on the hunt for a beautiful hand mirror too! 😊
Hi! Do you think Loubirouge is similar to Lune Feline? I have LF and i would like to buy Loubirouge but i will not if it's similar.and my top 5 are Grand Soir, Caftan, Eau Duelle edp, Oud Satine Mood ext and Symphonium
