the amount of thought and wit that goes into making these types of videos where information and brevity are both key is truly astounding. i love every one of these types of videos you've done i feel they're the bread and butter of your channel and i notice you've inspired others to move in a similar way. the turns of phrase truly knock the wind out of me though like 'the wrong way' and 'metallic hot iron' truly had me screaming
Thank you so much for such great feedback. I have a lot of fun making these videos and really happy to hear you're enjoying them! Wishing you a great start to the New Year!
At last... A reviewer with a sincere and strong opinion. To praise but also to express her honest opinion no matter what. Josephine, you are a breath of fresh air! Greetings🇬🇷.
You expressed your opinion like you mean it and I think this format really helps as it constraints you to shoot straight. Short format are fine but honest opinion is getting rare to find within the community. A lot of reviewers likes to only talks about nice things and keep it silent on stuffs they don't like. That attitude harms the consumer as we have no idea what to avoid within our limited budget. Else I resort to Fragrantica which sometimes it's straight - up flammatory instead of informative. Keep this flowing, I love the format and the honesty of the review. Hugely appreciated.
Sauvage Elixir is a masterpiece and by far the best masculine fragrance of the year. But it is one of those you have to take your time to fall in love with it.
Absolutely love the 3 word descriptions! Great format! For some fragrances I would set a yes instead of a no and vice versa personally but you still hit the nail in the head! Happy holidays to you and your loved ones and the whole lovely community here!
This was a fantastic summary! I'm going to have to watch again to compile my to-smell list. Agree with most of those I've also smelled (but do love Oriana)
Jus de rose you did it again 👌🏽 Another great quickfire review i love these videos you are one of the best fragrance reviewers on youtube i love your channel x
Love the more critical/objective content and the nice mix of fragrances marketed towards male and female audiences. Don't always agree with your opinions (I find everything by Memo Paris to be overrated), but love your vids! Happy Holidays.
You nailed it!!! again, my dear :))) as for the scents I know, I absolutely agree with you and for the others I don't know, I have a first assessment from you! short and to the point! Excellent! Thank you and happy xmas!
You're merciless, loving it 😂 Libre Edp is way better than Edt imho. And I'm surprised you like Y Edp, I tried so hard to like it but the synthetic apple note is a turn off for me :)
Here is the perfect example of how similar you can be with somebody in the niche territory, but again, in the designer territory Josephine goes north and me south 😁 Kisses, Adriana 💓
An excellent video that sums up some of the new releases in 2021 - bold, truthful and stern. Just wonder if we would get your thoughts on one of the new releases that I am quite obsessed with, i.e. Musk Therapy by Initio. Happy holidays:)
Just found you and LOVE your reviews :D have you tried diptyque’s new Venice scent? It is my absolute favorite signature scent now (I thought I’d like the other city scents but they were no match with this one!) :p hope you enjoy it too!
@@jusderose First I wasn’t sure about Lalibela (I had only sniffed it once and very quickly) and it was almost a blind buy 😅 but after few times I fell in love. It has a little bit the same vibe as M.Micallef Ylang in Gold but a lot more bolder and richer version of it. I totally love Jasmin Rouge and I got it just before Christmas which was really nice so I could just pamper myself with a new fragrance. JR is probably not that cold weather fragrance but it has some richness that gives me ”a permission” to wear it during now when it’s colder 😁 Oh yeah, my boyfriend got me Oriana as Christmas present. I know that you are not the biggest fan of it but I really like it, especially the dry down has kind of creamy rice powderyness 🥰
Fab as ever ❤️ you know I'd have to say Kilians Apple Brandy on the Rocks is possibly the worst I've actually smelt from them 🙊 along with Vodka on the Rocks. Some great ones in there tho 😊 well done gettin them all in. And Happy Christmas to my favourite Josephine and family
Haha I would be surprised our tastes would have aligned Jon! I hope you had a wonderful Xmas and Happy New Year to you! May 2022 be a great year filled with good health, love and much success :)
Omg awesome awesome …. I could listen to the French all day lol - I want a very Sophisticated expensive and niche fragrance for my hubby- is there a video of yours you recommend?
Hi, Jus! I agree with you on Vanilla Diorama. I had the same thought when I tried it out. But unfortunately, it smells like Enigma in dry-down only for first three hours. Then it turns into a soapy mess. Shame.
Idk, Yves EDP and Perfum are both great. It's just Parfum has Grapefruit and EDP has Bergamot, but the formulaiton is still the same, so it is up to all of ya to decide. So boys, you can get either one and still get compliments.
Scandal right? I have a couple of samples and it's like a guilty pleasure. I wasn't really interested in another sweet caramel fragrance, but it's so nice!
Totally disagree about Dior elixir maybe one of Dior's best releases woman have told me they find it intoxicating smells amazing beast mode however fragrances likes and dislikes are subjective really enjoy your vids and your descriptions are great.
I was in a hurry to leave my house to meet friends, then saw the notification of this video and thought… my friends can wait 😂 love these!!
They are going to wait 5 minutes
Hahaha I'm glad you like these videos. Happy New Year to you!
There needs to be more of these, thoroughly enjoyable!
Although sometimes I don’t agree with your choices (but fragrances are subjective)... your videos are really outstanding 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you! And I appreciate you being fair play about it. Some people can really get triggered lol
@@jusderose oh I know, right?! Everyone’s taste is different when it comes to fragrances but hey...as you said some people get triggered 😌

The fragrance world is amazing and she knows it! Top class perfume youtuber she is!
Aww thank you!
Thank you so much for such great feedback. I have a lot of fun making these videos and really happy to hear you're enjoying them! Wishing you a great start to the New Year!
At last... A reviewer with a sincere and strong opinion. To praise but also to express her honest opinion no matter what.

Greetings🇬🇷.
Thank you Christos and Happy New Year!
The way I laughed at "mixed emotions indeed!" 🤣 great video!

Can I like it thrice? I love her quick takes on perfume! Even when I don’t agree, her succinct summations crack me up. Always a pleasure.
Love how you say the names!!! I could listen to you all day!
Finally after 5 years of watching fragrance reviews I've found somebody that's direct to the point.......subscribed!
Sauvage Elixir is a masterpiece and by far the best masculine fragrance of the year. But it is one of those you have to take your time to fall in love with it.
I was looking for that comment, you nailed it!
If you call that a masterpiece, you haven't smelled a masterpiece yet.
@@solokom Indeed, it is an alfa not-for-pussies masterpiece.
@@arkantoskhan it is perfect as an avarage joe masterpiece
Nah, the whole sauvage pieces are all boring except for the original EDT, but that's maybe because i'm not really into designer fragrances
This was great!! I also really appreciate the x and checks it’s super helpful! Excited to smell some of the winners! Thank you!
Absolutely love the 3 word descriptions! Great format!
For some fragrances I would set a yes instead of a no and vice versa personally but you still hit the nail in the head!
Happy holidays to you and your loved ones and the whole lovely community here!
Thank you for your kind comment! Wishing you a very Happy New Year!
My Way the wrong way😂😂😂😂😂loved that, you nailed it again with your ratings😍
This was a fantastic summary! I'm going to have to watch again to compile my to-smell list. Agree with most of those I've also smelled (but do love Oriana)
Jus de rose you did it again 👌🏽
Another great quickfire review i love these videos you are one of the best fragrance reviewers on youtube i love your channel x
You are the gift that keeps on giving! Thank you Jus de Rose!!!
You’re the beat at this! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love such videos, you get an extreme amount of knowledge in such a short time!
Hi Jus !!!!! I love this kind of videos 😍😍
I just love to hear you pronounce things. Your the bomb!
An honest opinion, thank you! That's what we came for.
It's been a poor unexciting year for new releases.
Kudos to you for perfecting rapid-fire accent switches. I’m multilingual and I swear it’s one of the hardest things to do
The graphic designs on the bottles of Memo fragrances collection looks fantastic especially Flam
Yesss they are so beautiful!
Love these videos, Josephine. I even love it more when you hate something and you are honest about it. 😍
I love these videos… they’re funny… a bit harsh at times, but funny nonetheless. Keep them coming! 💕
I watch Jus de Rose just so that I can listen to her pronounce all of the perfumes properly in French
Fantastic job!! Curious about some of the “best” ones on your list now!
So good!! Loved it! ❤️it was like 2021s greatest perfume hits!
Another new release I loved this year was fenty
Oh my gosh! This kind of video is what I live for! 🤩🤩 Bonjour ma belle 😘😍
Love the more critical/objective content and the nice mix of fragrances marketed towards male and female audiences. Don't always agree with your opinions (I find everything by Memo Paris to be overrated), but love your vids! Happy Holidays.
Thanks Frank! We're going to have to agree to disagree on Memo... I'm a HUGE fan of the house haha! And Happy New Year :)
Really enjoyed this and a large part of it is how you pronounce the french words in French ❤
love love love this type of videos!!!
You nailed it!!! again, my dear :))) as for the scents I know, I absolutely agree with you and for the others I don't know, I have a first assessment from you! short and to the point! Excellent! Thank you and happy xmas!
Another great one ! Merci et bonne année !
You're merciless, loving it 😂
Libre Edp is way better than Edt imho.
And I'm surprised you like Y Edp, I tried so hard to like it but the synthetic apple note is a turn off for me :)
I watch these videos just to hear you pronounce the names. Love it! Glad I found your channel.
Here is the perfect example of how similar you can be with somebody in the niche territory, but again, in the designer territory Josephine goes north and me south 😁
Kisses, Adriana 💓
Haha yes indeed Adriana!
Really enjoy these types of videos, thank you
These are my favorite videos!! So fun!!
Fun video! As much as I love and adore Sana Jardin Sandalwood Temple ♥️, I agree that this year’s release, Vanilla Nomad, was such a let down 👎
Totally agree with you. Vanilla Nomad was totally underwhelming.
So this nailed a pronunciation challenge I'm sure, well done! ;)
Haha thanks Raul and Happy New Year!
one of your BEST videos!!!
Great video, love the video as I love all the videos. I would love your thoughts on Tom Ford Ombre Leather parfum.
An excellent video that sums up some of the new releases in 2021 - bold, truthful and stern. Just wonder if we would get your thoughts on one of the new releases that I am quite obsessed with, i.e. Musk Therapy by Initio. Happy holidays:)
This was an awesome video💗 The red shoe from CH is really wonderful scent ❣
Thank God you did not forget to do this 2021 recap, Josephine! Muchas gracias!!!
Never! This will be a yearly video on my channel now!
I like these kinda of videos…keep them coming 😉😉
Just found you and LOVE your reviews :D have you tried diptyque’s new Venice scent? It is my absolute favorite signature scent now (I thought I’d like the other city scents but they were no match with this one!) :p hope you enjoy it too!
Yes I have! It's really lovely!
Amazing again, Josephine! 🌹🌹💗💫
Great video again Josephine!
Ahh what do you think of Lalibela?! Have you received Jasmin Rouge? Would love to hear your thoughts :)
@@jusderose First I wasn’t sure about Lalibela (I had only sniffed it once and very quickly) and it was almost a blind buy 😅 but after few times I fell in love. It has a little bit the same vibe as M.Micallef Ylang in Gold but a lot more bolder and richer version of it.

Loved this video. Did u change your mind on JPG La Belle? You used to like it. I remember the video..yummy caramelized pear you said. I'm confused😕
I do like the original but not the Le Parfum version!
Loved it! Saving for future buys guidance!
Fab as ever ❤️ you know I'd have to say Kilians Apple Brandy on the Rocks is possibly the worst I've actually smelt from them 🙊 along with Vodka on the Rocks. Some great ones in there tho 😊 well done gettin them all in. And Happy Christmas to my favourite Josephine and family

I like Libre EDT and Libre Intense, although the drydown of all the Libres smells medicinal to me.
Nice Review! I Will put the eye on givenchy:), You are some of the few youtubers thats Say elixir is Bad haha:) cool!
My girl! Love you!
Love all you post!
😂😂😂You made me laugh! You are fabulous!
Great video Jus x 😁👍
Hi.. I'm from India.. masala Chai is one of the spacility in India. Proud to be Indian.
Hermes H24 is pretty awesome and we like it over here!
Honest opinion girl 👍👍👍
I adore autumn vibes, la belle le perfum and synthetic jungle. Just found out we have opposite taste, but I still enjoy your videos
Omg awesome awesome …. I could listen to the French all day lol -
I want a very Sophisticated expensive and niche fragrance for my hubby- is there a video of yours you recommend?
Have a look at my memo buying guide or atelier des ors 😊
This was GREAT! Informative.
Love love love your review!!!!
Lady, you are my go to for all things fragrance! Blessings to you and your husband!
Scent is very subjective, because that CH bad boy le parfum was amazing for me lol.
Love your pronunciations on the French Parfums. Native speaker?
Yes!
Great format! even i dont agree with many of your statments
I love this video and the idea.. Keep doing videos like this
I'm obsessed with this video so digestible 😍
Thanks Abi and Happy New Year!
@@jusderose Happy New Year beautiful 🤗
I really enjoyed this video!
Not a fan of Dior sauvage elixir then. I really like it :)
Happy you liked Givenchy Interdit Rouge! Wear it everyday :)
I love these videos series keep it up 👍🏻
wow! keep them coming. my kind of reviews
Sooo eggcited once i saw this vid notification..opened it ASAP..and Voila 🥰😍💜looooved it .. Le labo Matcha😢FM Synthetic Jungle🤬
Hi, Jus! I agree with you on Vanilla Diorama. I had the same thought when I tried it out. But unfortunately, it smells like Enigma in dry-down only for first three hours. Then it turns into a soapy mess. Shame.
Sorry to hear that.. On me it smelled amazing all the way through the drydown
Idk, Yves EDP and Perfum are both great. It's just Parfum has Grapefruit and EDP has Bergamot, but the formulaiton is still the same, so it is up to all of ya to decide. So boys, you can get either one and still get compliments.
Scandal right? I have a couple of samples and it's like a guilty pleasure. I wasn't really interested in another sweet caramel fragrance, but it's so nice!
I need to know more about amouage material and LV imagination!!❤️ please do a more in depth review 😊😊
Would have been great to get a rating on each of these too
I loved this. What are your thoughts on boss the scent private accord
Love the For Him. For Her, I'm giving away my bottle as it turns too sweet on my skin. If you're into chocolate and orange then go for it!
Totally disagree about Dior elixir maybe one of Dior's best releases woman have told me they find it intoxicating smells amazing beast mode however fragrances likes and dislikes are subjective really enjoy your vids and your descriptions are great.
Loved this
D&G light blue forever??
Enjoyed this!!!
Haha! Slightly brutal but so much fun. Thanks for sharing!
Sauvage Elixir is a fantastic and long lasting scent. The best designer fragance of the year.
Thanks for rescuing my last-minute Xmas shopping list! Saved me from potential disaster 🤣
How could you not like elixir though ? I fell like nobody dislikes that fragrance.
Love this. Thank you
