I cannot wait, tomorrow Athena is gonna arrive. I recommend Ana Abyed Leather by Lataffa. Gorgeous. Rasberry and Leather, around 16 Euros. Totally agree on Liam and Rose Gourmand.
I love Rose Gourmand. I only have a roller ball. A reviewer on TH-cam said that Roses Vanille lasted longer, so I ended up getting that instead, however I like Rose Gourmand more and do think it lasts longer. They are practically the same, and I wish I’d gone for Rose Gourmand. My only hesitation is that some people say that Zaras spoil faster. They are both lovely!
I have to say the first time I wore this. I walked into an outlet store and there were two people that told me I smelled amazing. Athena is better than Burberry goddess just saying.
I just bought Liam grey . It is due to arrive on my birthday ( Friday)! Your other recommendations are spot on. Athena is a new love. Already decanted to travel with me.
Athena is on my way to me, I'm so curious! Liam grey is very nice, I like it. Yours turned out green color?😮 Looks so cool though! 😂 I have couple more budget friendly ones from Zara I am so obsessed with! Golden decade and Nobody knows, especially the 2nd, it's super nice and I also got compliments for that one🤩🥰
Have you tried juicy couture majestic woods and glistening amber? There’s not too many videos on it, and you love woody notes and so do I! I ordered them with my 🤞🤞 also I got Athena and I already put a huge dent on it! Love love it! Was thinking about Sara j Parker stash but I’m scare of Smokey incense and if it leans masculine. Though majestic woods supposed to also have Smokey incense but I still ordered it 🤦♀️🤷🏻♀️
Liam Gray lasts a good few hours on me, and it's only been in my greedy little hands for about 2 months, lol. I felt it a little masculine at first, but now, I love it. I prefer it it to Mussamam and it's much more affordable too 😊
My favorite is Joe Malone Tonka & Myrrh, I like the complex warm woody incense drydown especially. What would recommend at a better price as a similar alternate, preferably Arabic Middle Eastern with good longevity, thank you!
Hi Joanna!! ❤❤❤ I love to find great affordable ones! These are great choices! Zara Rose Gourmand is fantastic ✨ I just heard Athena mentioned in another review, they said it was sweeter than Goddess, do you think so? Burberry Goddess is one of my all time favourites! 💕
Great video! Love your fragrance choices. I have several fragrances from your list. There's 3 that are on my wishlist and I plan to order them soon. I love Athena. I've been wearing it the last few days. Thanks for always sharing a great list of fragrances!
Hi Joanna! What do you think of La Voie of Maison Alhambra? It is supposed to be a dupe for My Way of Giorgio Armani but I can't really see many reviewing it. Another great video btw!
In Germany Athena ist not avaliable…. Nowhere 😢 but I ordered it in Italy now! I‘m excited!! It will arrive in a few days. Thank you, Joanna, for linking the Shop! ❤
I want to try this one, but I am afraid it leans Masculine. I sometimes struggle with some Unisex perfumes and it’s hard to get samples for middle eastern fragrances.
On Riffacat, I get a flat burnt rubber note. 😢 Hoping it settles down in time. To me, i pick up rich deep vanilla with spice and incense in background from beginning to dry down. Lasts for 2 days on my skin. The bottle is BDK all the way, and the juice smells expensive. I think Angham and Her Confession is next on my list. Blind Ordered dupes of LDBS and baccarat rouge from a place called AMORE. Keeping fingers crossed. So many fragrances... So little time (and money) 😅
I understand what you mean by burnt rubber note. I find it subtle on me. It will definitely improve. I have a friend who always says “ Too many perfumes but you only have one body” 😂
They’re both amazing, Athena has a green note to it and needs to macerate, performance not that great on first spray but it gets better with time, angham is exactly like Burberry goddess and more sweet more vanilla and better performance from day 1!!! Love them both
thanks for sharing Im really into alternative affordable but smells expensive type of fragrance... but...vanilla and unisex are not my type at all.... Im more into very feminine non sweet not too gourmand perfume..floral girl😂😂😂😂 I just like natural flowers in garden
I can’t agree enough about Liam one of the best few I do love it from my ME fragrances I don’t think anyone can expect this for only 20$ 😮 it worth more than that
Highly suggest Jessica Simpson "FANCY" or "FANCY LOVE" both smell great and is under $30.
Thanks so much, keep on coming with the affordable woodsy perfumes. I just bought Sarah Jessica Parker
I bought Riffaquat for $60 a year ago when it was super rare and hyper up. Now you can get it cheaper (in the 30s) absolutely love it
True! Glad the hype has calmed down on that one..
I had been on the fence about Liam Gray but I ordered it after you said chai latte
Mine also ordered.
I cannot wait, tomorrow Athena is gonna arrive.

Totally agree on Liam and Rose Gourmand.
On first spray Athena smells amazing!
@@fjenk123 only at first spray? Did you still like it after?
@@jmercadobeauty It pretty much faded away. Which means it needs time to mascarate.
@@fjenk123it WILL GET BETTER! mines did .
@@fjenk123 or its The body chemistry, some People say it last 30 min some 6-8 on skin

Jessoca simpson Fancy is a favorite. I get it at Ross for $20
I had it 💞

I love this kind of videos ❤
I have Athena and love it! ❤ I want to try some of the others you've mentioned too (especially Rifaaqat and Liam Gray. 😍
Liam is great , beautiful even! But doesn't last or project 😢 I prefer Vintage Radio - lasts and lasts !
Liam Gray lasts a good few hours on me, and it's only been in my greedy little hands for about 2 months, lol. I felt it a little masculine at first, but now, I love it. I prefer it it to Mussamam and it's much more affordable too 😊
I highly recommend those two 👌
@@jmercadobeautyI blind bought them and can't put them down. Love them
@@TODOMATIOis it similar to Antique? I love that one :)
Also fig illusion essential parfums is such a great grid charnel alternative for around 90

You should try Philosophy Warm Cashmere. It's new or anything but so Underrated!!! Smells gorgeous.! - a hug in. Bottle

Ebony wood from zara Jo Malone collection amazing and last so long, also Emir Frenetic Delicieuse - warm honey - just delicieuse
Yes! I have both and definitely agree with this 💯

Omg Liam Gray is a compliment magnet after maceration
It’s long lasting over 6hrs and silage is great
I love it i need a back up bottle
Nice vid❤

It’s so good
💞
Athena and Empire Vicror are the best 2024 for me.
Empire victor is so hard to get right now 😭
I love SDJ 59!! The only one I have 😂
Bonjour, je l ai reçu ce matin, j adote, mais le trouve assez leger. Pourriez-vous me dire svp, avec qui le booster? Merci d’avance.
Youre Liam Grey has such a green colour..? O.O Mine is pretty dark and yellowish.. have it a year. But i think it was never that green :O
I have MiimMiic 80 which is an impression of Sol de Janeiro 59 for an even better price. $14.99-16.99 at Marshall’s / TJ Maxx in the U.S.
Thanks for sharing! That’s even a lower price! I wish we have TJ Maxx here 😫
Amazing list love the video Joanna stay motivated dream big 1 mill on the way
🙏
I love your videos ❤
Thank you so much! I’m glad you are enjoying ✨
I wonder how Athena stacks against Angham..
They’re both amazing, Athena has a green note to it and needs to macerate, performance not that great on first spray but it gets better with time, angham is exactly like Burberry goddess and more sweet more vanilla and better performance from day 1!!! Love them both
@@mariapizarrosath8147 Oh thank you so much for sharing!❤
I have Athena amazing .. I’m gonna get lattafa angham wich is a Burberry goddess dupe too am looking frw
💞
thanks for sharing
Im really into alternative affordable but smells expensive type of fragrance...
but...vanilla and unisex are not my type at all....
Im more into very feminine non sweet not too gourmand perfume..floral girl😂😂😂😂
I just like natural flowers in garden
I need to stock up on rose gourmand in case it gets discontinued- my Roses vanille is catching dust because of it 😂
Zara Fashionably London is the best Zara
I reaalllly want to try Vanilla Skin! If anyone is in Canada and for some reason selling a bottle, holla!
Oh I didn’t know it’s unavailable in Canada 😮
@@jmercadobeautythey do at Sephora but it’s all sold out :(
👍 👏
