Watching this has made me appreciate living in Nebraska. I can wear Flowerbomb, Black Opium, Coco Mademoiselle or any other "common" perfume and still get loaded with compliments and questions because they don't sell them around here 😂
Yes exactly!! I live up in the Olympic Penninsula of WA and it's pretty rural. People are really naturalistic and actually don't wear much over here at all. I typically don't smell anything unless I drive to a more populated area, or travel to Seattle. I get stopped all the time when I wear body spray from BBW, so it's kind of nice. I'm wearing Twilight Woods right now and I've had 2 compliments today alone!
Emily Waggoner that’s kinda funny 😄 But I totally get what you mean. I come from a small town as well, but people are quite fancy around here, LOL. I’m from Slovenia btw. Some villages here can be pretty rural but bigger towns are full of people who like to look nice. My grandma owns a house in one of those villages and whenever I looked nice and smelled nice people there were always turning their heads whenever I was walking by or we were hanging out☺️ Pretty funny still if you ask me. What kind of power perfumes really have!
Personally i don't rebuy almost any fragrances , one reason is because i own so many that the likely hood of me finishing a bottle is so low. Also when i do finish a bottle , i just move on and discover something new 👌
Me too. But I remember Gucci eau de Parfum and eau de parfum II, when Tom Ford was the designer, smelled great and beautiful. Too bad they've been discontinued.
I won't buy a Victoria's Secret perfume. Several of them smell gorgeous but the idea that they are so accessible to teenage girls is a turnoff. Not only unoriginal but I'd hate to have a guy tell me how sexy I smell and deep down know there is a 16 year old out there wearing the same thing.
who cares if a 16 year old is wearing the same thing? don’t let that turn you off. i’ve never tried the VS perfumes but if you like the scent of something, you should rock it unapologetically no matter who else has it on. i still love my juicy bottles😂
@@yeezy7751 haha so true! Keep rockin the Juicy bottles. I have Fantasy by Britney and still wear it sometimes even though my 16 year old self wore it too!
To me Juicy Couture is one of THE BEST, because it's NEW to ME and I didn't smell it on anyine, so I'm in love with it. I love a very WIDE variety of fragrances. From Juicy Couture to Britney Spears, to Baccarat Rouge 540, to Tom Ford Noir Pour Femme to Lolita Lempicka and so on! There is nothing wrong with outgrowing a scent because you had your time with it, it's just like a young relationship in high school, most likely it won't last and you will outgrow it but you look back on it fondly but you had to move on, same with perfumes! 😁 👍
Demi, honestly your smile is one of the most beautiful things in the universe. Your overall positive vibe and attitude is enough alone to get me in a good mood, the additional info on fragrances is just the icing.
I totally agree on anything from Juicy Couture. I feel like it is a young girls' brand. I also don't like Marc Jacob's Daisy (but I do own and like Daisy Dream). I own Decadence and it works on me but I know many people that it just stinks on (like a mixture of tomatoes and dill pickles). It's amazing how skin chemistry can make a fragrance wonderful or terrible.
I agree with Black Opium & Decadence, I feel exactly same about them. Don't like smell of Decadence at all. I wanted Black Opium for about a year, still didn't buy it, and recently I got a tester for it and I completely went of it, I actually don't like it anymore, just seems like any other fragrance now, there are much better fragrances then that. Then I eventually find and bought Dior Poison Girl & this one is gorgeous especially when it dryes out 💝💖💞💕
I think that what’s also important is that the fragrance matches the personality and overall vibe of the woman. Another perfume channel ( pretty Swedish girl) mentioned this and I completely agree. I love in Miami and flower bomb is very accessible here, but I always get compliments on it. One time a girl that complimented me on it was confused that’s what I was wearing when she asked because she said it didn’t smell the same on her. Moral of the story, when you go to the mall, Macy’s, Sephora etc spray it on yourself and walk around and check back in within an hour and a half and see how you like how it smells on YOU
Please do a top 10 tuberose fragrances. And btw I agree I love cancers, they resonate very well with me on a one to one relationship. They're not superficial, extremely jelly or VERY rebellious. Their boundaries are almost the same as mine, they're caring, notorious, emotional and honest too!! 👌
kayu man hi, i loved this idea. Hope we see a video on this topic. Which are your picks? I loved l’artisan parfameur’s La Chasse aux papillons .. I got a rollerball at Sephora but never bought the bottle because although I loved the tuberose scent it didn’t last long on my skin ...
Marc jacobs decadence smells like mouth wash on me, i love juicy, gucci gulity and marc jacobs daisy. Each to their own, we can't all like the same scents. X
Hossein Abbassi I think when people say “on my skin” it often is about chemistry of the nose. If they like it on others, they only catch the certain range of chemicals from perfume, which are in spillage. So clothes may not help. Though sometimes it also helps. One of my perfume is like this- burned sugar and ambergris on clothes and plastic doll on my skin
Ah, I so LOVE Decadence! It works so so well on my skin, a rich, luxurious fragrance and lasts so long.... So surprising sometimes just how different chemistries are.
I love Daisy! Out of my large collection this is one of the few I actually finished. I love the freshly cut grass in it, that's the reason to me it's unique. I don't like any of the Daisy flankers. Another one I finished was Gucci Guilty. I used it mostly for work, mainly meetings, conferences etc. I think it's just very well blended and rounded fragrance. Not too much of anything, non-offensive and quite smart.
finally I am seeing someone review saying Decadence not working. When I first sprayed it on my hand, after around 20min I was smelling awful, like I have chopped 1kg Parsley ... I tried more times this perfume and could never understand people good reviews on that :)))
I avoided Black Opium & La Vie Est Belle because there's such a negative consensus among reviewers but I did recently buy them & NOW I get why they're so popular, they are both beautiful.
Agree on the daisy and the overall too popular scents, especially gourmands like black opium. The guilty is popular but not as much here, I haven't tried it on me but its sillage is huge and so creamy and alluring, definitely would want to have it!
You have to go back 15-20 years to experience the great Gucci scents marketed for women. Their best is Gucci by Gucci from 2002 (often called Gucci Brown) from when Tom Ford was Creative Director. Gucci by Gucci EDP and also the EDT version from 2007 are also worth checking out. A mature, stand-out fruitchouli done right.
I completely agree with you! After years of on my wishlist, finally bought this and almost feel like crying why I didnt buy it much before!!! Edp and edt are worth it!!!
I thought I was the only one who felt this way about Decadence! I blind bought it based on all the rave reviews and when I smelled it I was disappointed... People were saying the best things in the reviews like it was their “holy grail scent” and that it was the “best perfume they had ever smelled”. On me it smells very average.
I was curious what are your picks and watched the whole video Demi. But no matter what anyone says I can’t help but love Black Opium with all my heart. When I wear it I get crazy amount of compliments. Still I get that we all have some perfumes we just don’t like xx ☺️
Loved this video. I basically agree with everything except I do like Gucci Guilty on my skin. Marc Jacob's fragrances all smell very basic and generic on me as does Black Opium. A perfume that I have in my collection but wouldn't buy or really wear is the original Flowerbomb. I smell it everywhere-too common and it doesn't smell all that great on me.
I so agree with the YSL Black Opium. Its a fragrance that so distinguished and common that I stay far far away from it. Its also very over powering and not in a good way. That’s why I would rather spend the money on niche perfumes. 💗
Hi Demi. I don't know what's the deal with the other video you mentioned. I've been following u for a while and I do think you are very authentic. Now, as much as like your vids I find it very hard to relate when you're doing hauls with almost all niche fragrances so often. Me, I'm a 42 years old woman, I've been in love with fragrances my whole life and my nose has developed as well, but I cannot afford niche so often. So I try to find more unique styles (flankers, older fragrances, etc) that are not as expensive. It would be nice to see that your content having a better mix of what's out there that can be unique yet the price is not as steep as niche. One way or the other, keep it up! I'll continue to watch and dream :)
I already follow other youtubers that review different types of fragrances and a better mix, My comment had more to do with the type of content she puts out there and if she would consider to have a better mix as well. I said I like her videos. If she likes and wears 100% niche, great but it is my personal opinion that she could do other reviews too. Also, she doesn't buy Everything she reviews, so again, in my opinion, yes she could get different things, take a look outside the box and see if she likes something else as well. I put my opinion out there in a respecfull way and bevause she implied that her authenticity was being doubted by some. I also think she has a great vibe and many other times I left vomments on a positive note.
Flor Beche Your comment was very respectful. I enjoy Demi as well. I love fragrance but have decided to never spend over $150 for a fragrance but mostly under $100. I am just frugal that way. So I totally get where you are coming from with mixing it up to reach a larger crowd and include those who can’t or won’t spend large amounts for niche fragrances.
As a former marketeer I think it's wise of Demi to have a focus, or a niche ;-) Enough RUclipsrs out there already reviewing designer fragrances. We really don't need another Jeremy Fragrance. Demi should simply review what she loves, knows and feels passionate about, and if that happens to be niche perfume, fantastic. P.s. I've found most of my niche perfumes to be better value for money in the long run. Grand Soir, Baccarat, Ambre Nuit or Feve Delicieuse for example last forever and ever, even with just one sprits, so even if it's three times as expensive, you need much much less and it often lasts at least twice as long.
I understand what you mean with black opium , but I still love it I don’t ever go out and the girls at work don’t wear it so it’s still special. But I completely agree I get turned off if a fragrance if it’s over worn . Also your skin looks amazing in this video 😍😍
I like how natural you look on that video with less make up :) I can totally agree with your list... I think "Escada" ist also a perfume-house that I would never buy a perfume from. They are just too fruity.
Yes I agree with your list....I much prefer a more niche fragrance now because of you 😊😊....Bought mon guerlain the other day...my husband adores it!!!As do I...
Girl, every perfume you mentioned is the Ones I avoid as well! I actually like daisy but feel its not worth the money for that scent. I never understood the hype with Gucci guilty at all... Same with Marc Jacobs decadence. And Juicy couture i never ever liked. The gold one with the caramel and one of the rose ones i didn't mind but I never would purchase. Black opium, the first time I smelt that I just thought it smells generic and almost like Britney spears perfume. That's why all your perfume recommendations I can trust that I would like because your tastes is so much like mine.
M.J Decadends is so different!!! I bought it for my mom! And I used to get do many compliments! The way you smell perfume on urself is completely different from others smelling it on u...
Viva La Juicy is my go-to frag when I want something easy and happy. I typically spray it when I am going to be in a small space with people I don't know. I also use D&G L'imperitace for this. In these situations I can't imagine not spraying something but spraying something like Portrait of a Lady or whatever would probably be too intense for such a situation. So yeah, I agree that as a personal preference fragrance Juicy frags are too sweet and simple but for specific situations they are great light and non-offensive frags. Hate Daisy. Meh about Decadence. Like my Guilty. Also, I love Black Opium on me and will defend it to the death. 😂 Great video as always.
Im exactly the same with all 4 accept I don't mind that Black Opium is popular and I still want a bottle. But yes same here with Juicy Couture, Marc Jacobs and Gucci II. I keep that big heavy square bottle to use as a paper weight. I always want to adore every perfume but the ones you speak of are flat and nothing on me.
Second - if not already done - on the "Top 5 I do NOT want to smell on a Dude" review. Demi, be you girl. We all watch you because we trust you. You dont need to defend your position on any given fragrance outside of your "it smells great on a stick but I hated it on my skin". Nuff said. We all love your channel, Demi! Keep the reviews coming. Two huge thumbs up, chica!
I totally get the «oh, this perfume smells awfull on me». I experience that with la nuit trésor (I like it sooo much in the bottle, it's a shame!), Angel and with pretty much the hole collection of Chanel perfumes... 😫 but I blind bought Alaïa Paris after seeing you recommand it, why does nobody tell about it???? It is soooo good! ❤
Gucci Guilty won some fragrance of the year awards in Europe few year ago. I personally like most of the Gucci perfumes :) but thank you for your movie anyway:)
Hi Demi! ♥️ love your content, and have picked up so many perfumes according to your recommendations. Would you consider doing a signature scent series, I know there are so many aspects to finding the perfect one but it would be so nice to have a video where you could guide us on how to go about it! ♥️
I feel like I wouldn't purchase velvet orchid/black orchid either because like you said with Black opium, everyone smells like that these days. Sucks that decadence didn't work out on your skin because it's definitely one of my most complimented fragrances.
I think Perfume is really personal taste. when you watch video about someone giving testimonial/review i first discover her/his taste whether has any similarity with me. Back then i really like fruity notes perfumes. But now i rather choose more mature and complex notes.
I actually really like videos like these, I can only think of 1 or 2 reviewers that speak on what they don't like often. It helps viewers like me that have to order samples save a little bit of money when reviewers that share similar taste to me speak on what they don't love and why lol. And you are def one of my favorite fragrance reviewers ^_^
🧡💜❤️ Good review and explanation of how your taste in fragrance is maturing. It’s going to be an exciting evolution for you. I look forward to watching your fragrance future unfold ❤️💜🧡
Omg I’m so angry! Why would people attack you for your hate fragrance video? You’re a consumer who’s entitled to your own unbiased opinion! I’m sorry everyone was a jerk. Lots of love from Melbourne ❤️
I tried Black Opium, Chanel No.5, Gabrielle by Chanel, Light Blue by D&G, Versace Bright Crystal, Gucci Guilty & I'm not drawn to spicy oriental fragrances out there...I just could never ever get on board with them lol.. I also feel like I've outgrown sugary sweet and fruity fragrances and I'm now drawn into green, white florals, fresh rose and tonka beans fragrances.
Demi, are you still enjoying the Maison Louis Marie No. 4 Bois du Balincourt? I love it but it makes me nauseous after a couple of hours. I love this style of video btw!!💖 I’d like to hear your opinion on more popular designer fragrances like the ones mentioned in this video. xoxo
Have you tried it again? At first it happen the same with me, but now I don't feel any smell of coffee , it smell really good , sweet but with just a little intense , the only thing that I don't like is that it doesn't last on me more than 2 hours
@@coniiiism yes I have worn it about 6 times to see if the smell will change but nope it didn't still smells like coffee. So now I just keep it on my collection and don't use it.
I'm so glad we are in agreeance with Marc Jacobs "Decadence" that particular fragrance is not for everyone. I believe that the brand is just trying to keep up with industry standards. That's why they keep making new versions of the fragrance. I could say that about YSL "Black Opium" too.
I bought Black Opium and bought a few small decanted and it disappears on my skin in 30 min, not even a skin scent. They have reformulated it into water. I would love it if it lasted.
Hi Demi, loved your look today (fashion, makeup). Would love to see a top 5 or top 10 tuberose fragrances, as one of your viewers requested previously. I recall l’artisan parfumeur’s la chase aux papillons which I bought blind-nosed and thought it was a nice tuberose but did not last much on my skin.... Oh and btw, I’m a Gucci II fan here hehe.
Couldn’t agree more! Charlotte Olympea line and Carolina Herrera Stiletto perfume ..... these two really make me sick to my stomach! I guess many of the Chloe line do as well...
I agree on Black Opium. As soon as I smelled it I thought, "Yes, this is what every young man going out clubbing wants every hot young woman to smell like." I was highly disappointed at not only how generic it smells, but also that it doesn't even smell good to me. Very syrupy, synthetic, and little lasting power.
Demi have you seen Gucci’s new high end fragrance line, The Alchemist’s Garden? Like you I’ve never got on with Gucci fragrances but Winter’s Spring from this new line is stunning and now I can’t wait to try the rest 🙂
What every perfume reviewer says “everyone wears”, I’ve NEVER smelled on anyone 😭 it always gets said about La Vie Est Belle & Black Opium. I feel like it depends on where you spend your time daily. Walking downtown, all ppl wear and carry are body sprays lol. I feel like if you work in an office or professional field, if you go to fancy places, if you’re just talking about who owns what on RUclips, that yes, maybe people smell the same. But day to day? I never smell these “common” fragrances on people honestly.
Totally agree on everything.....I had 2 juicy couture perfumes and gave them to my daughter, Marc Jacobs I find it too sweet (in a young girl/teenager kind of way) and Gucci is just ok. I do still enjoy black opium though. I would love to see u do a video on perfumes u don’t like from Tom Ford (since there are soooo many.....)
It totally depends on your own skin type. Flower Bomb and Hypnose smell so heavy and awful on me. When you decide to buy a new fragrance, test it on proper parts (wrist, neck,etc.), not on a card; and my suggestion is that Never compare more than 4 fragrances at once, in a day.
My husband loves Decadence on me but I don't particularly care for it. I doubt it will be a repeat buy. I feel the same way you do about every perfume on your list.
Same. Blind bought a 100ml bottle od Decadence when it came out and hate it on me. Dislike Daisy, Opium is so mainstream, Gucci basic, and even though I used to love Juicy Couture I now mainly seem to like more expensive fragrances such as Delina, Dior private collection, Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Widian... Except for Juicy Couture Gold, that one I still love.
As a guy i would recommand girls to quit the over sweet candy perfumes because after an hour in a club guys are getting sick of all those blasts of sugar. The juicy couture line, ralph lauren, eyc its wayyy too sweet. The chanels, armanis lines are amazing especially the aqua di gioa omg gorgeous
I hv black opium, and i like it...but i agree with you about marc jacobs decadence, yes, it was awful on me too...the scents was like a leather or like a wood, i dunno, i can't exactly describing the scents...but what i know is, the perfume just doesn't work on my skin....
Where did you buy that top? 😍 btw love your channel you have a very similar perfume taste to mine. I really love Gucci Envy but it's discontinued. I usually don't like floral perfumes but this one is so beautiful
MJ Decadence smells revolting on me within about twenty minutes. I can’t wear it which makes me a bit sad because it’s a good one. I also can’t wear Dior Addict because it gives me a migraine. Great topic!
I actually agree with you: I am very disappointed with Gucci, all except Rush. They just seem so boring to me. But D&G is actually worse imo. Givenchy can do no wrong in my book
Black opium, last note smells like bitter sweat on my skin Viva la juicy noir, smells ok not really my vibe La vie est belle, smells too floral to me, but it’s ok Narciso edp & edt, this 2 makes me realise that I hate musk D&G light blue, love the first note ( citrus ), hate the last note ( musk )
Hey First: I really like your chanel - im parfume fanatic too😊 And, just one question i have?: did u try devine decadens by m.j. ? I really like it! It is much better as decadence. Decadens is dosnt work in my skin too, but the devine decadence is verry nice ! U have to try it 😊😉 Bye: Lulu from Hungary Ps: Sorry for my english 😎
I was gifted years ago Juicy Couture and Marc Jacobs Daisy. Could not and can not stand either of them! 😬 Smelled Black Opium, wasn’t a scent I felt “I have to have it”.
I appreciate your list - I think we all have these in our collection - I personally don't care for Gucci Guilty, Versace Crystal Noir, and Dolce Gabbana Por Femme Intense- all of which I own - they just don't jive with my chemistry Your top is absolutely awesome- where can I find one?!
Black Opium smells ho-rri-ble on my skin 🤭 although I witnessed it can smell completely different and unique on others...maybe it's just up to skin pH.
You be you Demi. There are some fragrances I wouldn't touch with a 20 foot pole. Unfortunately I can still smell them from that far. Love that top btw.
Watching this has made me appreciate living in Nebraska. I can wear Flowerbomb, Black Opium, Coco Mademoiselle or any other "common" perfume and still get loaded with compliments and questions because they don't sell them around here 😂

As a man I really like the Juicy culture gold because it's a SEXY fragrance.

I was curious what are your picks and watched the whole video Demi.
But no matter what anyone says I can’t help but love Black Opium with all my heart. When I wear it I get crazy amount of compliments. Still I get that we all have some perfumes we just don’t like xx ☺️
We all change with experience. I like that you have the courage to share your tastes with us and appreciate your being real. You Rock Demi!
Loved this video. I basically agree with everything except I do like Gucci Guilty on my skin. Marc Jacob's fragrances all smell very basic and generic on me as does Black Opium. A perfume that I have in my collection but wouldn't buy or really wear is the original Flowerbomb. I smell it everywhere-too common and it doesn't smell all that great on me.
I so agree with the YSL Black Opium. Its a fragrance that so distinguished and common that I stay far far away from it. Its also very over powering and not in a good way. That’s why I would rather spend the money on niche perfumes. 💗
Hi Demi. I don't know what's the deal with the other video you mentioned. I've been following u for a while and I do think you are very authentic. Now, as much as like your vids I find it very hard to relate when you're doing hauls with almost all niche fragrances so often. Me, I'm a 42 years old woman, I've been in love with fragrances my whole life and my nose has developed as well, but I cannot afford niche so often. So I try to find more unique styles (flankers, older fragrances, etc) that are not as expensive. It would be nice to see that your content having a better mix of what's out there that can be unique yet the price is not as steep as niche. One way or the other, keep it up! I'll continue to watch and dream :)
I already follow other youtubers that review different types of fragrances and a better mix, My comment had more to do with the type of content she puts out there and if she would consider to have a better mix as well. I said I like her videos. If she likes and wears 100% niche, great but it is my personal opinion that she could do other reviews too. Also, she doesn't buy Everything she reviews, so again, in my opinion, yes she could get different things, take a look outside the box and see if she likes something else as well. I put my opinion out there in a respecfull way and bevause she implied that her authenticity was being doubted by some. I also think she has a great vibe and many other times I left vomments on a positive note.
Flor Beche Your comment was very respectful. I enjoy Demi as well. I love fragrance but have decided to never spend over $150 for a fragrance but mostly under $100. I am just frugal that way. So I totally get where you are coming from with mixing it up to reach a larger crowd and include those who can’t or won’t spend large amounts for niche fragrances.
As a former marketeer I think it's wise of Demi to have a focus, or a niche ;-)
Enough RUclipsrs out there already reviewing designer fragrances. We really don't need another Jeremy Fragrance. Demi should simply review what she loves, knows and feels passionate about, and if that happens to be niche perfume, fantastic.
P.s. I've found most of my niche perfumes to be better value for money in the long run. Grand Soir, Baccarat, Ambre Nuit or Feve Delicieuse for example last forever and ever, even with just one sprits, so even if it's three times as expensive, you need much much less and it often lasts at least twice as long.
I understand what you mean with black opium , but I still love it I don’t ever go out and the girls at work don’t wear it so it’s still special. But I completely agree I get turned off if a fragrance if it’s over worn . Also your skin looks amazing in this video 😍😍
I love black opium. Doesn't get old for me. I wore different perfumes also, and on different skin every perfume is smells different
I like how natural you look on that video with less make up :) I can totally agree with your list... I think "Escada" ist also a perfume-house that I would never buy a perfume from. They are just too fruity.
That top is amazing 😊
Yes I agree with your list....I much prefer a more niche fragrance now because of you 😊😊....Bought mon guerlain the other day...my husband adores it!!!As do I...
To add onto your point regarding Black Opium, I agree that many people use it. Can't say I blame you. I won't purchase Dior Sauvage for that reason.
Girl, every perfume you mentioned is the
Ones I avoid as well! I actually like daisy but feel its not worth the money for that scent. I never understood the hype with Gucci guilty at all... Same with Marc Jacobs decadence. And Juicy couture i never ever liked. The gold one with the caramel and one of the rose ones i didn't mind but I never would purchase. Black opium, the first time I smelt that I just thought it smells generic and almost like Britney spears perfume. That's why all your perfume recommendations I can trust that I would like because your tastes is so much like mine.
M.J Decadends is so different!!! I bought it for my mom! And I used to get do many compliments! The way you smell perfume on urself is completely different from others smelling it on u...
Viva La Juicy is my go-to frag when I want something easy and happy. I typically spray it when I am going to be in a small space with people I don't know. I also use D&G L'imperitace for this. In these situations I can't imagine not spraying something but spraying something like Portrait of a Lady or whatever would probably be too intense for such a situation.
So yeah, I agree that as a personal preference fragrance Juicy frags are too sweet and simple but for specific situations they are great light and non-offensive frags.
Hate Daisy. Meh about Decadence. Like my Guilty.
Also, I love Black Opium on me and will defend it to the death. 😂
Great video as always.
Im exactly the same with all 4 accept I don't mind that Black Opium is popular and I still want a bottle.
But yes same here with Juicy Couture, Marc Jacobs and Gucci II.
I keep that big heavy square bottle to use as a paper weight.
I always want to adore every perfume but the ones you speak of are flat and nothing on me.
Demi...you dont like any of the Daisy? Or only the first one? Muchas gracias 😙
1. Juicy Couture
2. YSL - Black Opium
3. Gucci - Guilty eau de parfum
4. Marc Jacobs - Daisy
5. Marc Jacobs - Decadence
I love your top and the minimal makeup look 👌
YSL Black Opium makes me feel sick, nauseous, but think the smell is not bad. I enjoy the hair mist every few months.
Second - if not already done - on the "Top 5 I do NOT want to smell on a Dude" review. Demi, be you girl. We all watch you because we trust you. You dont need to defend your position on any given fragrance outside of your "it smells great on a stick but I hated it on my skin". Nuff said. We all love your channel, Demi! Keep the reviews coming. Two huge thumbs up, chica!
I totally get the «oh, this perfume smells awfull on me». I experience that with la nuit trésor (I like it sooo much in the bottle, it's a shame!), Angel and with pretty much the hole collection of Chanel perfumes... 😫 but I blind bought Alaïa Paris after seeing you recommand it, why does nobody tell about it???? It is soooo good! ❤
Gucci Guilty won some fragrance of the year awards in Europe few year ago. I personally like most of the Gucci perfumes :) but thank you for your movie anyway:)
Hi Demi! ♥️ love your content, and have picked up so many perfumes according to your recommendations.
Would you consider doing a signature scent series, I know there are so many aspects to finding the perfect one but it would be so nice to have a video where you could guide us on how to go about it! ♥️
I feel like I wouldn't purchase velvet orchid/black orchid either because like you said with Black opium, everyone smells like that these days. Sucks that decadence didn't work out on your skin because it's definitely one of my most complimented fragrances.
I think Perfume is really personal taste. when you watch video about someone giving testimonial/review i first discover her/his taste whether has any similarity with me. Back then i really like fruity notes perfumes. But now i rather choose more mature and complex notes.
Hey girl, how do you store your perfumes?
A tall glass display, seen in on her instagram
@@BorisBidjanSaberi11 Indeed, it's called the Detolf cabinet by Ikea. A bit wobbly but cheap and looks gorrrrgeous.
..and do keep them away from heat and light, otherwise they'll go bad...
you can store your less frequently used ones in the freezer until you decide to bring them out again
@@vivianlui7851 girl dont expose perfume to extreme temperature...room temp is the best
Many fragrances I hated before, but now I chasing them to be in my collection
Thank you! This was a very fair assessment and explanation of scents you won’t purchase! I’m impressed!
I actually really like videos like these, I can only think of 1 or 2 reviewers that speak on what they don't like often. It helps viewers like me that have to order samples save a little bit of money when reviewers that share similar taste to me speak on what they don't love and why lol. And you are def one of my favorite fragrance reviewers ^_^
🧡💜❤️ Good review and explanation of how your taste in fragrance is maturing. It’s going to be an exciting evolution for you. I look forward to watching your fragrance future unfold ❤️💜🧡
Omg I’m so angry! Why would people attack you for your hate fragrance video? You’re a consumer who’s entitled to your own unbiased opinion! I’m sorry everyone was a jerk. Lots of love from Melbourne ❤️
I tried Black Opium, Chanel No.5, Gabrielle by Chanel, Light Blue by D&G, Versace Bright Crystal, Gucci Guilty & I'm not drawn to spicy oriental fragrances out there...I just could never ever get on board with them lol..
I also feel like I've outgrown sugary sweet and fruity fragrances and I'm now drawn into green, white florals, fresh rose and tonka beans fragrances.
Demi, are you still enjoying the Maison Louis Marie No. 4 Bois du Balincourt? I love it but it makes me nauseous after a couple of hours. I love this style of video btw!!💖 I’d like to hear your opinion on more popular designer fragrances like the ones mentioned in this video. xoxo
Black opium smells like pure coffee on me and for me, a person that dislike coffee it's a turn off. Wasted my money , wish I could give it back.
Does it? I have to take back my comment and go try it then hahah
@@sophiab5260 yes go try it first I made the mistake of buying it just because of amazing reviews and I regretted later on.
Have you tried it again? At first it happen the same with me, but now I don't feel any smell of coffee , it smell really good , sweet but with just a little intense , the only thing that I don't like is that it doesn't last on me more than 2 hours
@@coniiiism yes I have worn it about 6 times to see if the smell will change but nope it didn't still smells like coffee. So now I just keep it on my collection and don't use it.
It smells like coffee with alcohol and sugar, I don't like it..
You should get your nose on the new collection by Gucci called The Alchemist’s Garden composed by Alberto Morillas.
Wait..I LOVE Decadence LOL
I'm so glad we are in agreeance with Marc Jacobs "Decadence" that particular fragrance is not for everyone. I believe that the brand is just trying to keep up with industry standards. That's why they keep making new versions of the fragrance. I could say that about YSL "Black Opium" too.
Hi demi! I just bought Francis Kurkdijan a la rose (my mum has the oud one). What do you Think of that?
I bought Black Opium and bought a few small decanted and it disappears on my skin in 30 min, not even a skin scent. They have reformulated it into water. I would love it if it lasted.
Hi Demi, loved your look today (fashion, makeup). Would love to see a top 5 or top 10 tuberose fragrances, as one of your viewers requested previously. I recall l’artisan parfumeur’s la chase aux papillons which I bought blind-nosed and thought it was a nice tuberose but did not last much on my skin.... Oh and btw, I’m a Gucci II fan here hehe.
Couldn’t agree more! Charlotte Olympea line and Carolina Herrera Stiletto perfume ..... these two really make me sick to my stomach! I guess many of the Chloe line do as well...
I agree on Black Opium. As soon as I smelled it I thought, "Yes, this is what every young man going out clubbing wants every hot young woman to smell like." I was highly disappointed at not only how generic it smells, but also that it doesn't even smell good to me. Very syrupy, synthetic, and little lasting power.
Demi did you get a sunburn?If you did be careful next time it sucks to have a sunburn ✌🙋♂️
Marc Jacobs decadence makes me smell like a pickle..
Demi have you seen Gucci’s new high end fragrance line, The Alchemist’s Garden? Like you I’ve never got on with Gucci fragrances but Winter’s Spring from this new line is stunning and now I can’t wait to try the rest 🙂
You should do a bigger list of this. I agree with each fragrance you've listed. Enjoyed hearing your thoughts. Cheers!
omg, I totally agree with you on every fragrance you mentioned!
What every perfume reviewer says “everyone wears”, I’ve NEVER smelled on anyone 😭 it always gets said about La Vie Est Belle & Black Opium. I feel like it depends on where you spend your time daily. Walking downtown, all ppl wear and carry are body sprays lol. I feel like if you work in an office or professional field, if you go to fancy places, if you’re just talking about who owns what on RUclips, that yes, maybe people smell the same. But day to day? I never smell these “common” fragrances on people honestly.
Totally agree on everything.....I had 2 juicy couture perfumes and gave them to my daughter, Marc Jacobs I find it too sweet (in a young girl/teenager kind of way) and Gucci is just ok. I do still enjoy black opium though.
I would love to see u do a video on perfumes u don’t like from Tom Ford (since there are soooo many.....)
It totally depends on your own skin type. Flower Bomb and Hypnose smell so heavy and awful on me. When you decide to buy a new fragrance, test it on proper parts (wrist, neck,etc.), not on a card; and my suggestion is that Never compare more than 4 fragrances at once, in a day.
Hey Demi! where is your top from?? need it 💗
My husband loves Decadence on me but I don't particularly care for it. I doubt it will be a repeat buy. I feel the same way you do about every perfume on your list.
Same. Blind bought a 100ml bottle od Decadence when it came out and hate it on me. Dislike Daisy, Opium is so mainstream, Gucci basic, and even though I used to love Juicy Couture I now mainly seem to like more expensive fragrances such as Delina, Dior private collection, Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Widian... Except for Juicy Couture Gold, that one I still love.
Decadence is the most complimented on me niche or designer.
As a guy i would recommand girls to quit the over sweet candy perfumes because after an hour in a club guys are getting sick of all those blasts of sugar. The juicy couture line, ralph lauren, eyc its wayyy too sweet. The chanels, armanis lines are amazing especially the aqua di gioa omg gorgeous
I hv black opium, and i like it...but i agree with you about marc jacobs decadence, yes, it was awful on me too...the scents was like a leather or like a wood, i dunno, i can't exactly describing the scents...but what i know is, the perfume just doesn't work on my skin....
loved it, and appreciated the honesty . wish more would go this route . thanks
GUCCI RUSH IS A GEM! Also Gucci Bloom!
Nathalie’s World Gucci rush is a classic my signature scent
Where did you buy that top? 😍 btw love your channel you have a very similar perfume taste to mine.
I really love Gucci Envy but it's discontinued. I usually don't like floral perfumes but this one is so beautiful
MJ Decadence smells revolting on me within about twenty minutes. I can’t wear it which makes me a bit sad because it’s a good one. I also can’t wear Dior Addict because it gives me a migraine. Great topic!
I actually agree with you: I am very disappointed with Gucci, all except Rush. They just seem so boring to me. But D&G is actually worse imo. Givenchy can do no wrong in my book
The funny thing for me, five fragrances that I will never buy belong to the same house. I have never smelled a Creed I actually really liked.
Black opium, last note smells like bitter sweat on my skin
Viva la juicy noir, smells ok not really my vibe
La vie est belle, smells too floral to me, but it’s ok
Narciso edp & edt, this 2 makes me realise that I hate musk
D&G light blue, love the first note ( citrus ), hate the last note ( musk )
Karma by Lush, I like the smell and it really last long, it's concentrated unlike other perfumes, and also Jo Malone sandalwood! My favourites!
Hey First: I really like your chanel - im parfume fanatic too😊 And, just one question i have?: did u try devine decadens by m.j. ? I really like it! It is much better as decadence. Decadens is dosnt work in my skin too, but the devine decadence is verry nice ! U have to try it 😊😉 Bye: Lulu from Hungary
Ps: Sorry for my english 😎
I was gifted years ago Juicy Couture and Marc Jacobs Daisy. Could not and can not stand either of them! 😬 Smelled Black Opium, wasn’t a scent I felt “I have to have it”.
I'm waiting for your perfume routine. Where do you apply it?
Juicy couture doesn’t last at all! Its like body spray for me
I appreciate your list - I think we all have these in our collection - I personally don't care for Gucci Guilty, Versace Crystal Noir, and Dolce Gabbana Por Femme Intense- all of which I own - they just don't jive with my chemistry
Your top is absolutely awesome- where can I find one?!
Black Opium smells ho-rri-ble on my skin 🤭 although I witnessed it can smell completely different and unique on others...maybe it's just up to skin pH.
Wow what lip color are you wearing?! It looks amazing!
For the fragrances you arent a fan of anymore would you be willing to sell them?
You be you Demi. There are some fragrances I wouldn't touch with a 20 foot pole. Unfortunately I can still smell them from that far. Love that top btw.
