Mandarine Basilic (along with OJ Osmathsis) has been my go to summertime pick-me-up since it came out. Simple, but still beautiful. It’s like the fragrance equivalent of a shot of espresso. Added Nerolia Vetiver this year and oh it is lovely! Such a smooth cozy neroli and vetiver but still refreshing. I love combining the two as well. I’ve had my eye on the Forte since it was announced and I think I need to just go ahead and buy it. I already love the original and you mentioned it could work in the winter. That may have just sold me. I need to pick up another bottle of Nahema anyways and it needs a travel companion 😄
Bummer about the coconut fizz one. They discontinue fragrances before I even got a chance to try it. I love orange scented perfumes, I will try to get my hands on the mandarin basil one. Thanks always for great reviews! :)
The first Aqua Allegoria I ever smell was Mandarine Basilic and since then I've been lost in love. So so sad they don't come to my country... They are the perfect match with the weather I live in... Thank you beautifull...!!
I’m trying a sample of the Mandarin Basilic original EDT today. Love it. I can’t find anywhere online that has a sample of the Forte. I never blind buy, but I’m tempted to get it.
Hello Soki! I really like the videos, I love perfumes too! I'm from Brazil and your channel is already successful here too. A fragrant hug for you! 🌼🌸🌻🌷🤗🤗
🤗💗🤗 Thanks for featuring the Forte range, I have been thinking 🤔 about Aqua Allegoria for a while but also thought not long lasting enough for the money. As you have said it's suitable all year round I'm definitely going to try it.......Thanks lovely 🥰 Xxxx
Hi soki do you know samsara by Guerlain ?? It is allegedly a perfume from 1989 ! The Queen of Jordan said she wears it so most women in the middle east are kean to try it now! Can you review it plz and tell us if it is soki approved😅
Big fan of your channel! Maybe a weird request, but people might be into it. Could you do a video about scents that are good to wear when eating? I find certain fragrances that I love are off-putting when I have a meal, while others compliment food perfectly. Ie Ellis B’s Bee is so yummy to wear on a dinner date. Thanks!
Hello Soki! I’ve heard that this line is meant to be layered together. Have you heard that? I haven’t tried. The orange one sounds like heaven in a bottle! Can you compare it to Prada Mandarin? Thanks for another great video!
I layer the Mandarine Basilic and Nerolia Vetiver and they are absolutely beautiful together. A refreshing bite from the MB and the smoothness from the NV is just *chefs kiss*
May I ask, which one do you think rose perfume with the true rose scent between this four beauties : Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Rosa (edt & edp) or missDior Rose 'n Roses or Lancome la vie est belle Rose Extraordinaire or Jo Malone Red Roses? Many thanks in advance 🙏
🚨⚠️ Hi! Hello everyone!!! Can I please have your attention ⚠️🚨 there are a lot of us that missed out and/or love coconut fizz, hear me out. If we all contact Guerlain maybe they can bring it back in “Forte” edition. We can email Guerlain! Dear Soki I thank you for all your hard work. I know how time consuming this is & editing is a pain in the neck. You are appreciated & congratulations on your perfume line 💐💐💐. I can’t wait to get mine. I walked past some flowers the other day & the lady told me they were honeysuckle. I fell in love! Can you recommend a good honeysuckle Parfum please?
How does the new Mandarin Basilic Forte perform compared to the original edt in regards to longevity and what is the projection like compared to the edt? Does it do well in the high summer heat like does the MB edt or is it more of a year around fragrance that might be too much for the summer high heat? Do you think it would be redundant to own the new MB Forte if you already own the MB edt? Sorry for all the questions, I already own the edt and don’t want to make a redundant purchase and it’s hard to get a sample! Thank you!
Soki, could you please let me know any website who sells mini perfume sets any perfume really 😊is good to take in a mini bag and I do love to find more here in UK 💞💋 thank you
Actually Soki I just thought of a ? I'm intrigued 🤔 to know do you prefer Bronze Godess......or the Mandarin Basilica in the Allegoria Forte?? Thank you in advance Lou Xxx

Just got the three samples today and bought the neroli vetiver in a heartbeat. The Rossa Rossa would be my next purchase ❤
Good choice!

I tested the nerolia vetiver in store yesterday and I can’t stop thinking about it
Omg need the rose one

I have Coconut Fizz and it's probably the best coconut perfume I've ever smelled. Sad it's being discontinued!
I’m trying a sample of the Mandarin Basilic original EDT today. Love it. I can’t find anywhere online that has a sample of the Forte. I never blind buy, but I’m tempted to get it.
So sad about coconut fizz too. My fav is Pera granita, I will need a new bottle next summer!
I do like as well Mandarine Basilic Forte 🌿🍊

Many thanks in advance 🙏

I walked past some flowers the other day & the lady told me they were honeysuckle. I fell in love! Can you recommend a good honeysuckle Parfum please?
My new perfume Aphrodite is inspired by coconut fizz :)
For honeysuckle, I recommend Aerin honeysuckle midterranean
Is the rose similar to the rose in rose Callison by L’occitane since you mentioned Turkish delight?
Yea but stronger :)
@SokiLondon So which is your best similar recommendation to Miss Dior Rose’n roses? because I really adore it but don’t last at all in my skin.
maybe try irresistible givenchy. Here is my video on the best rose perfumes: th-cam.com/video/kjoivT2oesc/w-d-xo.html
Thanks, you’re lovely ✨
How does the Rosa Rosa compare to mon guerlain bloom of rose @soki london?
Still sad that Passiflora is discontinued. I hope that at least they will forever keep Herba Fresca.
How does Nerolia Vetiver compare to Nerolia Bianca and also Orange Soleil?
none of the other notes can be smelled in the Rosa Rose Forte parfum?
I want to know from someone if they are limited edition/ discontinued soon or will they stay long like Mon Guerlain and La Petite Robe Noire?

Thank you!
It definitely performs better. It’s warmer than the edt but I think it’s still ok for summer.
Those bottles 😍
Whats the longevity like of the mandarine forte ?
Soki, could you please let me know any website who sells mini perfume sets any perfume really 😊is good to take in a mini bag and I do love to find more here in UK 💞💋 thank you
Actually Soki I just thought of a ? I'm intrigued 🤔 to know do you prefer Bronze Godess......or the Mandarin Basilica in the Allegoria Forte?? Thank you in advance Lou Xxx
They’re quite different. Bronze goddess is warmer and more tropical floral.
Soki, what is your favorite from this line? Just coconut? Thank you
Yes and the mandarine basilic forte
75ml size not 70
❤❤❤
Rosa rosa is much better fragrance than Miss Dior in my opunion.
ah
fragranze fantastische ma costano troppo
Why is she calling this orange all the time? It's bloody mandarin.
Mandarin is a type of orange …
