    I don't think I can pick a signature scent. It really depends on the weather. This time of year, winter, I'm drawn to oud dominant fragrances and chypres. I've been wearing Clinique Aromatics Elixir and Ulric de Varens Varensia lately. Also Oud Mood and Bade'e Al Oud Amethyst. Oh! And Maison Alhambra B Satin Oud. See? I can't choose one.😇😂

    I've had various signature scents over the decades: Chanel No. 22, Joy (Jean Patou), Gucci Envy, Halston, YSL Libre EdP, to name a few. Currently I'm searching for a signature scent that I can wear all year round. I don't like with tuberose or tonka bean, as I find them both suffocating notes, and I'm not crazy about patchouli, so that eliminates quite a few fragrances. Any suggestions?

    Hi Mel! I had Beauty at some point and decluttered it when I wanted to be niche and beast mode! 😂 What a bad idea! I came back to my roots which are mostly signature perfumes instead of “out there perfumes” and I could definitely see myself where it again. L’Interdit has always been my “power” fragrance, I used to wear it when I had a challenging meeting! 😅 Chanel Gabrielle, Molecules 01 + Iris and Ormonde Jayne Woman are a few I could see myself wearing everyday. Have a great week!

I think I have too many “out there and or beast modes” on my shelf that don’t get enough use… maybe it’s something we had to go through … I may still be tempted by something that doesn’t match my life or weather… but I too have more or less gone back 😊 And you know Gabrielle Essence has been on my wish list for the longest time. I love that one! Hope you have a great week too! 🥰

    Hiya, Mel. For some reason I haven't been able to find your content over the past few months. I would even go to my subscriptions, pull up your channel and it wouldn't show any new content. I thought maybe you decided to take a break. Glad you are still around. I'm not a J'adore fan. That melon note is off putting and I can't get past it. Maybe the one you mention would be more appealing. I go back and forth with Si and Passione. Sometimes I like Si more, other times I like Passione more. And then I found an "inspiration" house called Le Glorie. Their inspiration of Si is WONDERFUL. It's got a slightly sweet spiciness to it that rounds out the designer fragrance, giving it a bit more body. It doesn't last as long but I layer it with both and it's pretty spectacular. My easy reaches are Coco, Coco Mademoiselle from Chanel, Ébène Fume from TF, Lataffa Mohra Silky Rose, and Aromatic Rouge by Maison Alhambra. Enjoy the weather! It's been quite cool here in middle America. From about 10C to -7C mostly. No snow yet but it's coming!

    I only have Montale Intense cafe and am still learning how to wear this perfume. I layered it with lattafa Thoug for a Delina vibe and went out for grocery shopping and while paying, the cashier said: so this is you who is smelling so good. Customers in the line came and asked where this scent was coming from. It was sort of embarrassing lol, I almost apologized. So Imnext time I will wear it only if I go outdoors in a very cold day.... it is that strong 😂 Intense cafe is quite synthetic so I tend to layer it with fragrances with less longevity. I want the longevity but I FEAR the projection of the Montales.😂 If you find one that projects less but it is long lasting, let me know. 🌸🌸🌸 From your Easy reach fragrance video: I guess Mancera Aoud Orchid would be more of what I look for in these perfumes

    • @melraefinds9748

Eternal is a touch woodier than the Kayali. I have actually been wearing Eternal more than Royal lately for sure. I think because it is soft and feminine.

    Opulent Red is very confusing and complex at first… but surprisingly when I let it dry down I get a ton of compliments. I think it grows on you as it drys down. Thought I regretted my purchase, but the scent is justified over time! Love the way you described it. Very spot on!

    Your description of Satoor sounds amazing. But then I went to Fragrantica and saw that it’s compared to Bright Peach. Bright Peach is not my favorite kind of peach. Have you smelled it? Wondering how similar they are. Your description makes me think they aren’t that similar. Just wondering if you have thoughts on this. Thanks. 😊

      As for the packaging, I totally understand it’s frustrating to find the lid off, etc. but they are DIRT-CHEAP & the packaging sometimes floors me in the way I can’t fathom how I’m getting both an incredible juice AND a sturdy glass bottle (or what have you) for like $30-$40! 😅So I can’t imagine not putting something on my list due to packaging. I just completely overlook it & honestly feel fortunate when the bottles aren’t HIDEOUS😂as so many are just awful to look at.

    Hi Mel, I am in Tasmania, fell in love with Middle Eastern perfumes May last year after getting Long Covid and feeling my body chemistry or my love for some perfumes altered and I was also frustrated at becoming nose blind to a lot of my perfumes. By chance I fell in love with a perfume oil and that began my journey of discovery of these perfumes. I have 2 large perfume cupboards, in a stable cool area of our house and own too many 😅, too afraid to count them, but have run out of space. I have always loved and collected perfumes. I am attracted to the more intense perfume and also like mysterious or noir scents, but also adore fruity florals with vanilla and spices. I love so many and love how I can smell these on myself after hours. I have had to blind buy them all, by reading about the notes , watching my 5 or so favourite reviewers and careful consideration but 4 or so were total fails. Opulent Red was one of my first haul of 6 perfumes and is one of my signature scents, a lady ran after me wanting to know what I was wearing 😂. I am on my second bottle and have 3 back up bottles. I own 3 other perfumes of the perfumes you mention. Nebras is lovely. Thanks for this video.❤😊

      Hi Tia! Another Opulent Red devotee! 🥰 I am so pleased. I can’t get enough of that one. I absolutely can relate to what you’re saying about enjoying the stronger nature of the Middle Eastern fragrances. I think I have been collecting these type of fragrances for about the same amount of time as you. I’m in Regional Queensland, up in the mountains west of Brisbane in Toowoomba. Cooler temps and less humid than Brissie. So lovely to meet you. Thank you for sharing this 😊

      @@melraefinds9748 Same here, it is soooooo wonderful and affordable. I read so many negative reviews but felt it was my type of perfume and it was love at first sniff. I am addicted to that one for sure. It always makes me feel wonderful and you can always smell the perfume even the next day. So glad to find you 🥰😍 A lot of the perfume reviewers do not like Opulent Red. I have read some hilarious reviews about this. I know we all smell things differently and have different preferences which is great. And our body chemistry is different, but my best friend in Germany also bought 4 of my most loved Middle Eastern perfumes and she loves all of these and some days when we write to each other we find out we are wearing the same ones on that day despite the different seasons and weather. Opulent Red, Bade'e Al Oud Amethyst, Maison Alhambra's Berlinetta , all these 3 are polarising scents that last and last and the perfume oil Rasha by Al Rehab which is also so beautiful ( again a beast scent and polarising). I wish you a lovely day, from sunny Tasmania, Tia

It's fall here and I'm craving chypres. Go figure. I'm seeing quite a few differences between what ME fragrances you're able to get when compared to here. Is that a thing? Looking forward to watching more content from you. All the best to you.❤

      Hi Alisa! I would say, regarding affordable ME fragrances, that in the last 6-12 months absolutely everything is also coming out here, with similar release dates to US (which can be ahead of UK and Europe, not sure why). There are fewer distributors here and in Australia we can’t get fragrances on Amazon (postal regulations, not sure). I’m definitely getting choosier, and climate dictates that if I stack my shelves with the heavier scents, they will sit there neglected for much of the year. The “affordable” ME fragrances aren’t as cheap here, relative to the prices of the fragrances they are duping when those fragrances are on sale. Again I think this is because there are fewer distributors currently. So, again this makes me choosier. It can make more sense to get the original here … sometimes. Regarding availability it can actually be harder to find good oldies. I have finally tracked down a bottle of Junoon Noir for instance. Thank you for your thoughtful comment. And welcome to the channel 🥰
