Sam, yes. Immediately after viewing video... a scam attempt emerged.
thank you! i thought so ! im sorry!

Hi Sam, I also got a message saying telegram me.
@@passionforfragrance3159 the same but in Emily Noel and World of fragrance platforms!
I have a couple of the 6ml which I have purchased, I enjoy Encens Suave, and Parisian Musc. Although on my skin Encens suave becomes quite sweet and vanilla-ambery. they are beautifully done but not always the most unique scent profiles. I don’t mind that, sometimes you just want an approachable fragrance that is really well executed 🤗 Radical rose is suuuper punchy, and a bit headache inducing on me and I wish it wasn’t because I do like it. Lovely to get your thoughts Sam! 😘
Thanks for sharing, Cherie! I'm considering a 6ml of radical rose. Let's see how I feel about it from beginning til end 🌹Xo Sam
My favorites from the brand are Falcon Leather, Santal Austral, Radical Rose, and Neroli Oranger.
I generally hate leather in fragrance as it irritates my nose and gives me a sinus headache. I hate the “new car” smell. However, I really love Falcon Leather!! It’s smooth, a little sweet, very natural, masculine leaning but not overwhelming fragrance.
Santal Austral has a beauuutiful silage!! I’m not in love with the milky almond note if I smell it directly on my skin, but unless my nose is pressed to my skin the scent cloud is amazing.
Radical rose is also amazing in quality, depth, and beauty. I have to be in the mood to wear rose, but this is a beautiful rose that I would wear when I’m longing for the scent of a rose or in a more formal setting. Definitely has a seductive edge from the saffron and patchouli but neither are dominant players.
Neroli Oranger is my favorite natural smelling citrus floral. The neroli isn’t too soapy or sharp. I picture a citrus tree in full bloom on a cooler day on the Mediterranean coast. It’s bright in the opening but has great longevity.
Overall my favorite brand in terms of ingredients and quality. Selfishly, I’m sad that Matiere Premiere is getting the hype because I want it to remain a secret. But the brand deserves the recognition and success.
Always love your reviews. Tuned in to learn more about the fragrance. Especially in Radical Rose. Got a sample today. WOW, I love this Rose! May need to get a FB. Definitely need to try a few others!
I've learned to let the fragrance wear me (as opposed to me wearing it) before I decide to buy it. It's true that most fragrances are linear, but other do you evolve, and the top notes can trick into impulse buy. I've also learned not to overwhelm my olfactory sense with trying too many fragrances when visiting stores - only a handful, otherwise I may end up buying something that I'll later realize I dislike bcos my nose played tricks on me.
Would love your take on Ormonde Jayne. Thank you.
Very good points to share with everyone, thank you! Adding your suggestion to my list 🌹Xo Sam
Thank you for this much needed non sponsored review! Refreshing since I always have a foot back with over hyped fragrance houses. Can you cover also Teo Cabanel? Another hyped fragrance brand that I would love to hear your opinion about it! Also BDK please!!
Lots of love 💖
Thank you Sam for doing this unsponsored reviews. I am very sceptical of things that too hyped on social media, so it is really good to Hear your point of viee
I absolutely love this video, so honest and straight to the point🤩😍👌. Our boutique store has just started stocking this brand so I will be sampling all of the fragrances. I only have a sample of Encens Sauve and I absolutely love it even though I don’t have a full bottle yet😍😍. Please feature more brands as this is extremely helpful👌👌. Stay gorgeous😍😍.
Thank you, will do 🌹Xo Sam
i ended up ordering the blotter sample set too, and it is FASCINATING to watch your review and see how different they smelled to you vs. to me! (though there were some similarities, too, a relief TBH).
i live in the US so they had to travel for even longer to me, so who knows, maybe part of it is that. but the biggest difference to me is that both french flower and radical rose smell OVERWHELMINGLY sweet to me. like, syrupy, sickly sweet. :-\ in slightly different ways - in FF it's more fruity, while in RR it's more caramelly - but the sweetness is so powerful, i can barely smell anything floral. by contrast, neroli d'oranger DOES smell convincingly like an orange blossom to me as well, so at the very least it's not just that i'm smelling all their florals differently for some reason.
the other ones that read noticeably different to me, and esp. from their names: falcon leather smelled to me like almost a straight-up incense, no leather at all (which i enjoy, i like incense, lol); and encens suave smelled primarily like a vanillic amber. also, i feel like the descriptions of santal austral and bois d'ebene should have been switched. SA smelled deep and ambery to me, while BdE smelled comparatively paler, almost ashy (yet still aromatic). though at least both were primarily woody! :-D i agree with you about the commonality of cedar across almost all of the fragrances.
anyway, thank you for your honest review here, and in general. really appreciate it in this world of "influencers"!
Oh, I adore this brand. I think it's always really interesting to see what a perfumer chooses to make when they're not constrained by working for a client. I don't really think there's a dud among them. I have and love Santal Austral and Radical Rose and Neroli Oranger is on my have to have it list. Great video thanks Sam x
Fleur de peau is my all time favorite. Thanks for mentioning it. Made me smile :)
Loved your reviews, as always. Thank you. I’ve just found a sample of Parisian Musc and find it very elegant and work appropriate.
Sam! This is a brand i was always curious to try, and i had heard nothing but amazing things about them. Thank you for such an honest video. Sending you all my love as always
Thanks darling, I think they're actually elegant 🌹Xo Sam
My favorite is Bois D'Ebene almost finished my sample. Will get a 6ml when it's cooler. I love Falcon Leather, I get a lot of saffron and birch tar. I have 2 of the 6ml bottles. Neroli Oranger is nice I have a 6ml. Need to smell the Rose one. Fun video.I like the brand and I'm glad they offer small sizes.Looking forward to you trying out more hyped brands!
Loving the unsponsored designation is the title.
Thank you 🌹 Xo Sam
Been wanting to smell this house for awhile.Thanks for the video and house overview.
Its funny that you advise to base a purchase off of the dry down because I have found that to be my exact feelings! I am quite new to the fragrance world and started watching all these popular fragrance accounts that have me trying loads of perfumes. I tried many that have awesome top notes but as they dry down smell relatively the same to me and almost a let down to be honest. It's so easy to be carried away by all these super popular perfumes simply because of the hype. I'm glad that although being a novice I haven't been carried away by the top notes. (pun intended)
Loved this!! I so appreciate you sharing your opinion. I have the 6ml of a few of theirs that I love but gosh, I ADORE Encens Suave and purchased a full size. I don’t wear it that often because I find it so heady and intoxicating… I always say that to me Encens Suave is the scent embodiment of the confessional scene in Fleabag - the first time I smelled it I gasped 🤣 SO SEXY! Love it so much.
Thanks again!
My goodness, a Fleabag reference never goes unnoticed! Will have to give that one a full wearing myself 🌹Xo Sam
I love your reviews!
Thank you so much for your amazing review. I enjoy your videos so much ❤️❤️❤️. Have you got a chance to try Teo Cabbanel? It would be great if you also do a review on that brand. I tried some from them but really interested in hearing your thoughts on them
Thank you. I will try to get a discovery set. Please also don't respond to the spammer trying to get any information from you. It's not me. 🌹Xo Sam
@@MyWorldofFragrance thank you Sam, really appreciate your heads-up. I ve been seeing this scammer everywhere 😐
Thank you for your reviews. You do a nice job & I trust your opinions.
Thank you! 🌹Xo Sam
Encens Suave and Falcon Leather both kick butt! Appreciate the impressions Sam! 🧡
Matière Première makes me think of Maison Crivelli (from whom I bought the discovery set). The « épuré » black and white design, the single note interpretation (« Iris this », « Bois that », etc.). It seems well crafted, well designed and technically well achieved. From the MC set, I ended up finding everything fine but failing to feel the spark of love or the enthousiasm. So it’s me being full of prejudices but Matière Première leaves me cold and simply not curious about how does it smell. Shame of me, I know right?
Anyway, thank you for your work Sam. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts process about brands and values from the latest videos. Much love, M.
Maison Crivelli or Matiere Primiere? I'm trying to decide which house to buy a sample set from.
Absolutely enjoyed hearing your take on this house! ❤ I discovered Matiere premiere year and a half ago. One of the best discoveries. I now own 6 full bottles. Enjoy the quality of ingredients and simplicity this house has to offer. Beautiful scents!
Wow, 6 bottles! Thanks so much for watching 🌹Xo Sam
@NellyA2 I agree with you on Matiere premiere, I discovered the brand in 2021, and I too own 6 bottles. Definetely a best discovery for me, great ingredients, great price point!
Thank you for introducing me to brand Matiere Premiere, and so knowledgeably. Also, I was able to write down each perfume name as it was introduced, which is a deal-maker or deal-breaker with me, as so many of these perfume videos don't make the names and brands clear enough to record. A very professional and responsible presentation, thank you.
Thank you, that means a lot. Let us know how you find them if you do give them a try 🌹Xo Sam
I got a small bottle of Encens Suave in an advent calendar and it is my favourite fragrance that I didnt pick out myself. It's the only one from the brand I have tried but I might buy Falcon Leather for my fiance who loves leather fragrances.
Hi Sam! Excited for your reviews! My fav is Encens Suave; love the particular incense and coffee. French Flower is quite natural, I do get a banana note in the top that blows off after a bit, but overall lovely! Falcon Leather nice, too! Your reviews always fantastic! ❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏 I’m skeptical of the whole scent strip thing (as you very rightly & honestly point out). I’d love to hear your opinions of the minis, samples, bottles, etc. 😀❤️❤️❤️
Hi praise for Radical Rose!
Gaiacwood now on the CITES list, so grab some Bois d’Ébène if you like it.
Orange Blossom fan here, too! 🙌🙌🙌 Do you have a top Orange Blossom frag video?
OMG! Huge Agree about Xerjoff!!! Lol!! Pure Wisdom!!! Sorry so many comments! This video was awesome!!! Please do more hyped stuff!
Love this type of video
Thank you 🌹Xo Sam
You and Demi Rawling are the Queen of Reviews when it comes to Fragrances. I just ordered the discovery set($180) for this brand. Demi seems to love their scents and with your good review I pulled the trigger and bought the discovery set. Thank you for the detailed review. 💟💖
Demi is sponsored and you can't expect her to be unbiased
Great review, I just received xerjoff amber star. What do you think of that one. By the way you look fantastic.
Encens Suave the best for me, Radical Rose 🌹 next, love them , need to try French lover very nice 👌 brand, creations, thank you dear for your review 😊 😘
I always admire your class.
Hi Sam 😃 fantastic review 👏👏 thank you! 😘
I have bought 6 individual samples kit each 1,5 ML and here is my experience:
📍Parisian Musk - indeed, a Santal 33 LeLabo type, but much better with more prominent cedar note. Not much sillage, longevity on the level of Jo Mlone 😉 so not impressive.
📍Santal Austral - sweet, dry sandal wood and lots of tonka bean remainding me of Fave Deliciuse by Dior (minus vanilla) and Gris Charnel by BDK (just without the depth) Good staying power (7 hours), not much sillage though.
📍Bois Ebene - Yes, lots of patchouli. Reminds me of Patchouli by Reminiscense. Good trial, good staying power. This one projects quite strongly for 6 hours.
📍Encens Suave - powerful! Dark, but clean, sweet benzoin and vanilla. I get some cardamon note of which is no mention 🙄
Love at first sniff!!! 💗 very good performance. Lovely, elegant powdery drydown. Considering buying a full bottle 😎
📍Cologne Cedrat - zesty, fresh, very realistic bergamot plus pepper. So pure, so long lasting. Not even a hint of synthetic citrone notes which I hate 😉 well done!
📍Neroli Oranger - powerhouse combo of orange blossom and bergamot. Veeeryyy long lasting and strongly projecting. Hard to wash off after 10 hours clinging to the skin 😂
All od them very high quality. I gree that all the hype is absolutely justified 👍 Joan
What a fantastic run-down, thank you so much for sharing. Overall a nice brand 🌹Xo Sam
@@MyWorldofFragrance thank you Sam🌹 this is a great compliment for me to know that You found it interesting 😌 😘
Yep, this settles it. Gotta get samples of the musk and orange blossom. Appreciate the video!
Thanks for your thoughts on the Matiere Fragrances
just bought neroli oranger, in love. also wish I walked away with encens suave. noticed it is very long lasting, very sweet on my skin, especially the base notes. I woke up the next day and could still smell it on me.
Wow Sam. Your nose never fails me. I do NOT like rose perfumes but something about this one I decided to just give to a shot. Just one. I can’t believe it. What a lovely, peppery, saffron rose. I can’t believe I’m considering a bottle but I’m finishing the sample to completely make sure…😅 love your vids! 👃 😊
loved thissss
Hi Sam. It was because of this video I decided to get samples directly from the house. I absolutely fell in love with Radical Rose and bought a full bottle.
So thank you so much ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this 🌹
I wanted to try Encens Suave however I was put off slightly by the price in combination with comments saying that it would work better as a scent candle. What do you think? Thanks for the first reactions 🙏🏻
That's up to your taste, but if the price is off-putting to you, you can find good incenses elsewhere. Video coming soon 🌹Xo Sam
if you cant' afford encens suave , pierre guillaume "peau d'ambre" is a really good alternative ;)
I would like to hear your opinion on Maison Crivelli Hibiscus Mahajad, Amber Chrimatique and Patchouli
loved this video :)
Radial Rose is my fave once I'd smelt it on skin, very dark and jammy, a little NdN and portrait. It is gorgeous.
Encens Suave is lovely and airy with a nice bitterness in there.
French Flower is a blooming lovely tuberose, the greener feel and big almost gardenia creamy thickness shines.
For me I wish they did 30ml bottles as I don't think I'll ever get through my 100mls 🤣. They are a good brand and you can tell a brilliant perfumer is behind them all
Thanks for your take, Jon. Nice to hear we have some similar favorites. 100ml would be much too much for me as well 🌹Xo Sam
This brand looks worth trying. Not easy to get in Canada unfortunately. Thanks for an honest opinion on this brand. - Jenn
Hello Sam ! thank you for your nice review and wise advices 🙂 ."Encens suave" smells like olibano drops when they grill on an essentiel oils burner ... to me it smells like toasted incense. It is beautiful on skin, and it's the best straightforward incense fragrance I've smelled so far. On Matière Première's site you can also get 1.5ml samples at the price of 5€ each ...less expensive per ml than the 6ml (ordered individually) ?! I was underwhelmed by "bois d'ébène", didn't get its facets on me, and "parisian musc" wasn't to my taste. I haven't tested "santal austral", "falcon leather", "cologne cédrat", nor "french flower" (issued just after I received my samples, grrr....), but being a tuberose lover and having heard the reviews I'm contemplating ordering a 3X6ml set with this last one and my 2 favourites: the borderline gourmand "encens suave"(6ml of this type of fragrance will be enough for me), and the luminous and classy "néroli oranger"(good to know with this one: the lasting power is not the worst but certainly not the best either). As you like incense and orange blossom like I do, may I suggest, if you have the opportunity, that you try my lovely "Atlas" from Loewe's Solo range (spanish designer brand)? It's a fresh and clean take on these 2 notes, easy to wear yet not faint, good price for the quality. Bise from Lyon, France 😘 !
Fantastic to hear your take on these. I'll have to try that Loewe asap. 🌹Xo Sam
I'm in love!!!!!!!
Well … from the blotter you didn’t noticed it but Santal Austral starts with that beautiful Almond note …. Is so so unique and beautiful… all af the fragrances are quality fragrances but I think the most unique is Santal austral… then Encens suave ( Honey and coffe on the top) , then falcon leather, and … radical rose…
I love falcon leather and crystal saffron. 😍
Yes, Parisian musk is very vegetal, on my skin it smells like coconut blended with vegetables 🙄
In general these fragrance have a strong projection, your colleagues will notice it 😆
I've checked out this brand before. For 100ml for almost £200 I just can't accept the prices of their 6ml samples, why can't they just do a 2ml x however many frags they have discovery set. I see you can buy individual 1.5ml samples on their website for €5 each, but these aren't readily available apart from on their site. It's offputting for me, I do hope they sort out, because other brands at the 200 pricepoint do it.
Nevertheless and my rant over, I really liked your video. I value your opinions 👏
I think it's clear that their strategy relies on influencers to sell you the full bottles. I would pursue other brands if the price point is off-putting. Diptyque does more unique fragrances for less for example, and they're in the vein of what this brand is trying to be. 🌹Xo Sam
@@MyWorldofFragrance thanks Sam. I'm ok with the price per 100ml (though its my top end) but the 6mls are just crazy, thats the offputting part. But you're right, they're banking on those blind bought full bottles.
Have you tried Atelier Materi?
I own Falcon Leather which I love! I also have a decants of Oud Seven. Glad you reviewed these
Nice! Is that an exclusive? 🌹Xo Sam
@@MyWorldofFragrance oud seven from memory was a separate release after the inital fragrances. After Oud Seven then came French Lover. I had to try Oud Seven as it contains oud from Asaam which is where my great grandfather is from in Bangladesh 🇧🇩 and I know exactly how the pud should smell having seen the whole process. Whilst the scent is pleasent I have other attars and oils that smell similar and actually are superior plus the authentic smell of Asaam oud isn't there me sadly on Oud Seven.
@@aftekharkhan1094 Ah I see. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on that one. Greetings to you in Bangladesh, I lived there for four years. 🌹Xo Sam
@@MyWorldofFragrance oh wow you lived out there, that's really cool. I'm actually a Londoner, proud East Londoner 1✊️ but the motherland is of course 🇧🇩
@@aftekharkhan1094 That's awesome. Beautiful motherland 🌹
I would say sample the fragrance for a week before buying. I have Neroli Oranger and Parisian Musc. Both 10/10. I would buy them both again.
After testing some samples I bought Neroli Oranger from directly official website. Hopefully it will get to me safely 😊so exciting!
hi!!initio musk therapy or parisian musk?
Thank you, very interesting. One if the brands we see around, but pricy to buy without research
I just bought the blotters, not sure if it was a good idea since it's 35 Cº in Madrid. They're going to get fried in the mailbox XD. Anyway looking forward to try the scents out. Saludos desde Madrid ! ;)
I bought Vanilla Powder, I would like to have all theirs collection, the quality is out of the world ❤
Just noticed the house yesterday and now I have one (Radical Rose) on my blind buy list.
You sound like you have a cold?
They’re absolutely wonderful fragrances with high quality ingredients, one of the best brands of the recent years. They also have a discovery set of 2 ml vial samples on the website, or you can custom create it, in case you want to try them further. :)
I love French Flower.
Buenas tardes! Excelentes muestras y en papel!
Thank you for speaking the truth - ur awesome 👍👍
I love Santal Austral and Encens Sauve , Ensens Suave is a really unique incense in my opinion
Parisian Musc sounds right up my alley (I do love Fleur de Peau) and I really can’t have too many musks.
Have falcon leather and encens suave. Like Parisian musc too
Hey thanks for that. In terms price (and market positioning): I would see MP as very good value. To me I like to compare them to Le Labo. I think le labo are overpriced. MP is a very good option for a new to niche person. The fragrances are not too complex and perform very very well so the price point is really good value. The selection is growing. I think you can't go wrong with MP. All round best value I have seen so far. Personal favourite is crystal saffron and then vanilla powder (compliments galore but a tiny bit screechy if I am honest)
Nice I like you spanish accent I just received Cedrat Cologne and I like to buy Neroli Orange
Thank you. Nice choices 🌹
Encens Suave is VERY BEAST MODE. I wore it to bed and it’s still on. It’s very much vanilla which you didn’t seem to pick up- buttery vanilla and pure frankincence. I own it and enjoy it but I don’t call it a love. I also own Santal Austral and I wore a lot of it this summer though the sandalwood is not really detectable- it’s an interesting scent but not so santal.
On my Wishlist are santal austral and neroli oranger after trying samples.
Falcon Leather has no actual leather note inside , I think they used birch tree notes and other noted derived from plants and spices.
Excellent run-through Sam, it's surprising how well these work on those strips. I thought the neroli, the rose, and the incense ones were outstanding to my nose. However, it's a brand I will never purchase from, due to their marketing tactics that I find very off-putting.
I find their promotion a little strong, but the scents are actually decent. Seeing how many people got them for free though, I'm not sure if I'll be purchasing either 🌹Xo Sam
@@MyWorldofFragrance yes far too many free bottles (I mean I even got one (out of the blue and unwanted) ffs!), I find it disrespectful to paying customers. They've lost my respect for sure, despite being excellent fragrances.
Thank you ❤
Im also like you, when I see too much hype is a turn off for me, but as a fragrance lover I try to put that aside. When I see a new brand popping up everywhere with the free stuff, is 90% of the time a red flag, but this brand is one of the few exceptions indeed, very good stuff, my favs are encens suave, rose and cologne cedrat (although this last one, is hard for me to justify the price for a citric fragrance)
Very good comment 👏 perfectly resonates a lot with my experience! 🤗
Thank you. I'm glad you agree, knowing your taste🌹Xo Sam
Love their Neroli Oranger and Parisian Musc and expected to like French Flower … but wowzas, on me the FF is like overripe fruit in an old inner tube. Maybe the pear note? Gorgeous house, but the FF did not work with my chemistry!
Just bought radical rose and wanted French flower as well but was sold out at the local perfumery. I like their concept a lot 👌🏼😘
Bit jealous of your radical rose 🌹Xo Sam
Which was your favorite?
Neroli Oranger sounds like it would be my fave ☺️
Bit of a weird question- do you have synesthesia? You mentioned orange blossom being darker orange and neroli being more of a light green, so I was curious if you mean in your perception or the actual juice.
I have it- mostly relating sounds to colors but scents can have colors too 😂🌈
What an interesting question ! Sam did also refer to Radical Rose as a deep deep red : )
Someone I know who has synesthesia recommended a book called Born on a Blue Day which she relates to
Oh I'm not sure if I have synesthesia, I just find it easier for others to understand a scent when you visualize it. Thanks for your comment ☺️🌹Xo Sam
@@missreia Thank you, will check this out 🌹Xo Sam
Neroli Oranger is my favourite but then again it's the only one I've smelt so far! Hopefully I'll get to smell them all sounds like a good brand to try out!
Side note: I absolutely love your hair, so stunning 😍 ✨️ 💖
Thank you my dear Abi. Lets go sniff them together in Harrod's 🌹Xo Sam
@@MyWorldofFragrance yayyy!! Let's go sniffing, I'm excited 😊
Your hair are really awesome
Thank you 🌹Xo Sam
Great review, thank you! Love this house! I have Radical Rose and Encens Suave. I want to add Neroli Oranger to the collection. Just gorgeous. Cologne Cedrat is absolutely divine on my partner. Are you going to pick up some from the house? X
Hi Jenna, than you! I'm considering it 🌹Xo Sam
I smelled the whole line at Harrods last time I was in London. The best of the line was Encens Suave but I felt the whole line was essentially top note forward (good for Selfridges/Harrods browsing). Falcon Leather was solid but not close to unique. Encens Suave was very incense heavy, of course, and was the best of the masculines but my wife hated it. Seven Oud was funky up top but dried down quickly to a cedar heavy, basic base. Santal Austral was nice up top but dried down quickly to a cedar basic base like many from this brand. Radical Rose was pushed by the SA hard and my wife did enjoy that.
Overall, I spent more time with the masculine leaning ones but I felt the brand was overly expensive and not worthy of the hype. Felt like another brand hyped due to free bottles but I didn’t buy anything on a trip when I bought a LOT.
Thanks for sharing! That drydown is very cedar heavy, you're right. Not a brand for revolutionary profiles, but I do think they're elegant. And good note on Harrod's - I'll have to try them fully over there. 🌹Xo Sam
The most I like are Falcón and Encens.

@@MyWorldofFragrance OK THANX 4 THA HEADZ UP...BEEN GETTING ALOT OF THOSE LATELY...PEEPLE NEED 2 GETT A LIFE
Yes on the “cirque du soleil openings” 😂 truth! I wish more brands gave samples for free so people could take their time. However it’s the customer who needs to insist on giving it a wear before buying!
Lol yes, that's how they get us. Always a full wear for me 🌹Xo Sam
I collaborated with them back in 2020 December. They sent me Bois d' Ebene and Encens Sauve bottles and I was blown away by the quality of the work that has gone to creating these perfumes. French Flower smells very similar to Miller Harris Tuberoza. I did not enjoy it at all.
That's cool 🌹Xo Sam
French flower also has a close resemblance with Tuberosa by Le Couvent (JC Ellena). To me it’s a bit thicker and the one from Ellena a tiny bit more towards a milky lymphatic fig.
I have been really interested, but it rubs me the wrong way hat they don't offer a reasonably priced discovery set.... Not a bunch of strips with a spritz... I dunno..... Testing comes with the product...and in the era of online shopping, I am sorry, but a discovery set at a decent price is a must... The neroli, the tuberose and the incense sound like right up my alley. Btw! If you want a nice honeyed orange blossom, try Mardi Gras by Olympic Orchids
They do offer discovery 2ml sprays and free shipping for them too! Also a $15 credit toward a future full bottle purchase. ☺️
@@_-Anna-_ oh oh oh!! Then I misunderstood! My bad! I stand corrected and props to them for offering so many choices! Thanks for pointing out the info! 🤗
@@_-Anna-_ yes, This is true. I bought such set and it was really resonable priced IMO 😘
Which one was your favourite? Buen toque de español ;)
My fav was radical rose i think based on the limited first impressions 🌹
Am I the only one who feels Obvious perfumes is overhyped? I tried the whole line and was disappointed.
Curious on your thoughts on Liquides Imaginaires, Xinu, or cra-yon
I'd say it's a very sweet/prett incense with the tops.
I'm a stupid one that has spent 30 euro for each 6 ml bottle......They are nice but I think that you can find better ones for a better price point. Jovoy, for example, has also great quality fragrances but cheaper and also more unique ones
I follow your Channel because I really think that you provide very interesting and unusual contents in a very casual and nice way. I appreciate the way you approach some topics such as Age or gender of your audience. That shows you are an intelligent person in a very close minded world.. Moreover I 'm also passionate in travelling and being in contact with different cultures speaking different languages....so you don't Need to thank me,it's my pleasure.

Musk therapy is also a piece of sandalwood but with a fruity twist 🥰
My goodness- not to me! And I barely smell the sandalwood in Santal Austral and I own it and wear it a lot. It smells, rather, like a blend of woods- abstract and dry but something appalling that keeps me wanting it. I find it more to my taste than Encens Suave which I also own.
Santal Austral was a bit of disappointment for me. Too much resin. I was expecting a lactonic take on sandalwood because of the almond milk.
Hello Sam,
someone is commenting on your comments on this video who isn't you but is pretending to be. I think they are trying to scam people. I wanted you to know so you could take action as I got one of these comments on my earlier comment. - Jenn

Vaguely offended by your comment regarding Americans making split second decisions. Being American myself as well many other Americans I know do indeed take their time to gather information, form their own opinions, etc before committing to a purchase or finalizing a decision on something. In turn I have met people from and in other countries, including ones in the EU, who have hopped on something based solely on first impressions.
I'm sorry to offend you, it's simply based on market research and a fact that brands capitalize on. No harm intended other than to advise everyone to take their time 🌹Xo Sam
I own the full bottle of Radical Rose and I love this fragrance. But then I am so biased to Rose fragrances🥹
EBK, Sam, somewhat not as popular or easy to find (only viq Insta). Gracias.
