I have to say I appreciate my friends that don't take EVERY PR or sponsorship offer that comes their way❣️ Maybe it's snarky but I don't want to see a cheap jewelry brand ad from my beauty space friends 😂 I always show up to support but it's just not my vibe ❣️ Fantastic review as always, Dr. Claire ❣️
Hi Laurel! Thank you! ❤️ I know, I agree, there is so much irrelevant stuff being talked about. It felt weird to finally say yes to something if I'm honest. I was so relieved when these were actually good and I enjoyed them. 🤣
Great video as always. I bought the tester pack from Luxador and enjoy almost all of them... the Mojave Ghost is a bit odd smelling for me. The good girl gone bad and the Eclat D'Arpege are gorgeous. If you like these you will LOVE generic perfume oils. I think they are more accurate and dont seem to have as much of a fixative smell to my nose. Also if you want an amazing dupe of Bal D'Afrique perfume parlour does one thats delicious.
That's really interesting that another Byredo didn't hit right for you. Thanks for sharing your experience with these! ❤️ I was so impressed with LDBS, I can imagine GGGB is a great one and Eclat d'arpege would seem a good one to have as an oil. So many people recommend perfume parlour, I guess lots of people have tried them and they are good. But yes generic perfume oils sounds like a brand I should try. Thanks for watching 🥰
Perfume Parlour is really good. I enjoy a lot of the oils, as well as their extract perfumes. The Bal d’Afrique is my number 1 favorite there, followed closely by a dupe of Tom Ford noir de noir. I live in the Caribbean, but order from them anyway. I also buy oils from Universal Perfumes and Cosmetics, in Dubai. Thanks for introducing us to this one. I will definitely be trying them🙏🏼🙏🏼.
I haven't tried Luxodor perfume oils, but have tried Oil Perfumery. I like them because it lets me try a fragrance out before buying a full bottle or it gives me something to layer with a favorite scent.
Yes! Absolutely! Oil perfumery are lovely! I have an impression of Chanel Beige from Julija in Canada, it's very close the original, which is incredibly expensive and actually hard to find in stores here or to find affordable samples of. That one layered well with Prada la femme too. I would never have tried Chanel Beige without trying the oil first! Thanks for watching 🥰
Luxodor sounds like a great brand to work with. I am a big fan of a good fragrance. Wow that is good to know the same ingredients as the more expensive brands. The packaging is stellar just gorgeous. Vanilla and musk yes please! I totally agree with you, the dry down is key. I wore a fragrance from Prada one winter day and I was on the subway and the person sitting across from me asked what I was wearing I got noticed for sure. Ooo a figgy scent I love the scent of fig. I would love to get a dupe for Lost Cherry. Yes rose can be tricky. I used to use a rose oil and when it dried down it vaguely smelled like urine. I so may have to get the Tom Ford inspired scent glad this was one of your recommendations. 👍🥰☺
Yes some of these were absolutely spot on and most were really lovely even if there were slight differences. Luxodor were very low pressure and just wanted reviews, I would definitely try more of their fragrances, they were good! The lost cherry clone in particular was really very good. Thanks for watching 🥰
I thought I'd commented. Maybe I did? Stupid Tube. But a great overview of these Claire, they don't sound too bad at all. Appreciate the honesty as always. We need more like you over here. I can imagine they are a great intro to these fragrances and a great way to get an idea of what they are like. I tried two of Dior's Oils today and wow, I actually thought they were beautiful. It's a good and different way of perfumery isn't it. It's interesting that a couple were way off but others smell them as similar, our noses are such complex things aren't they. Thanks for the honest introduction to them 😊
Thanks! ❤️ yes I enjoyed trying these and spent a crazy amount of time trying to accurately compare them to the originals... I spent a lot of time furtively oiling and spraying in shops when I didn't have samples 🤣 I think I agree, if someone isnt sure about the originals and just wants to love with the scent profile for a bit, these would be perfect. Oils are something I never really thought much about but actually a great oil is even more convenient than a spray and takes up no space whatsoever. I would definitely take the LDBS on a weekend away or something like that. Yes, we are all different and I think maybe people zoom out compared to me maybe 🤷♀️ who knows 🤣 Thanks for watching 🥰
Hi Claire! I love your honesty 🤗 congrats on the collab and-for choosing a company you stand by 😉 I love perfume oils and to be honest sometimes I don’t mind if the “dupe” smells a little different I kind of accept that lol, so glad you loved a few! ❤
Thank you ❤️ Yes me too, I don't mind different, the ones that smelt different were still lovely. I wasn't keen on the PDM Delina exclusif, but more because I simply don't love Delina exclusif rather than because of the oil. Same with bal d'afrique, it was different to the original but still a nice fragrance. Thanks for watching 🥰
I rarely like PR related videos but I trust you and your opinions based on your other videos. Just recently found you and have been binge watching your videos. I will say I love the roller balls on these as I travel a lot and that is so convenient.
Well this is my first and only PR so far. I guess I'm not a safe bet for people to send stuff to 😉 I actually thought these were quite good and some of them I really enjoyed. I wore Delina exclusif clone only a few days ago and I've been reaching for the lost cherry a bit too. I agree rollerballs are fab 😊 thanks for watching 🥰
Congratulations on this collab and hopefully more to come. Well done, this one. And next time negotiate a discount code for us ;). Getting ready to order some thanks to your review
Thanks! ❤️ I enjoyed trying these, but I don't think I'll be doing too much of this, it took me several weeks to test all of these thoroughly and do the comparisons with the originals. 10 at once felt like a lot... They were really good though, I was definitely impressed with most of them! Happy Wednesday 🥰
I have ten oils from Luxodor. I love them. Ont that I have is Miss Cherie. I wish they had an oil for Shalimar. I will be trying the oil for Lost Cherry when I order again. I made my order after watching Sarah Mayes😂 I loved the video ❤
Thank you ❤️ Oh wow! Lovely to hear someone who tried them too! Yes Sarah seemed very impressed with these, I think she said that every single one was spot on. I didn't find that with the ones that I chose, but I did think they were really good and some were exact or extremely close. Thanks for watching 🥰
I know what you mean. I tried them and I want them but they are so so expensive! I think if you like mystery and intrigue and want to give off a bit of an aloof vibe, Portrait of a Lady is a good one. Carnal Flower to me is grrr, it's beautiful, it's voluptuous, a little tropical, but also a little dirty. Carnal Flower is the one that has grabbed me, but I do also really like the Portrait of a Lady too. 🥰
Congratulations on your collaboration Claire 😁 Very disappointed to hear your opinion on the Bal d'Afrique version/dupe but delighted to hear about the Lost Cherry one. Definitely going to try and get a tester of that! 💖
Thank you! ❤️ I enjoyed trying these! Yes that bal d'afrique was really way off. I did actually check whether luxodor did the Mancera choco violet fragrance in case it was a case of mislabelling but they don't 🤷♀️ the fragrance is pleasant just not similar to bal d'afrique 🤣 the lost cherry and also the love don't be shy fragrances are absolutely excellent though! Thanks for watching Fiona! Happy Wednesday ❤️
Yes I wondered the same, I checked whether luxodor did choco violet but no, they don't, so it's a mystery. It does certainly have lemon there though. 🤷♀️
28:58 Miss Dior Cherie was intended to be the youthful younger sister of the original Miss Dior, so it makes sense that it’s very different to the 2012/17/21 Miss Dior’s (which were/are targeted to older adults and loosely connected to MD and MDC)… but it seems with the 2021 version they may be reverting back to a youthful type of scent 😅
I would love to smell the original! I am so curious to know if that oil is similar or not... I have the 2012 and that is a very grown up chypre, much like Coco mademoiselle. I can't imagine Miss Dior Cherie being close to that from its note profile. I tried 2021 and it was very different again! You are right!
Hi Claire! These oils sound interesting... I might have to check them out (along with the ever growing list of fragrances I would like to test... it's never ending...). The LDBS one sounds interesting.😍 I bought a travel spray of it after testing it and other similar fragrances (Perdizione and Oriana). I prefered the Kilian one, but a full bottle is $$$. Not surprized you turned down unrelated PR or things that aren't fragrance related. You do seem to have a strong sense of ethics from what I've seen. 😁
Thank you! Yes LDBS is a lovely one and the oil is really great. I agree with you between oriana and LDBS, I prefer it too, but I didn't try perdizione. Haha yes wishlists don't tend to shrink much 🤣 I just think it would be so random if I started talking about jewellery wouldn't it? 🤣 I have no clue why any brand would ask me really unless they just wanted me to try their fragrances. 🥰
I think I should retest Perdizione. The first time I liked it, but the second one... I got this annoying sharp green note (probably the neroli). Oriana, I could barely smell on me. @@dr.claire.perfume
Can oil as a medium have an effect on the scents? If so, might that account in the difference you sensed in the notes in some of the oils? I tend not to use perfume oils because I'm worried about them staining my clothes.
Hi Kat! I think probably you are right and that oils can be inherently different to sprays, on the whole these were all quite close, I did really focus on trying to find any differences in them but for most it was minor. I'd say that actually using oils is probably better for me for not staining clothes. In the summer with t shirts especially, I spray perfumes and then quite often I get a stain and have to change 🤦♀️ the oils though, cos I apply them to my wrists and very specifically to my neck sometimes, I've not had a problem with. The only thing I'd say is the lveb l'eclat oil clone was very very darkly coloured and I would be worried if I got that on my clothes! Thanks for watching 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume I agree we must be mindful about what we are promoting and how we actually feel about the product !! I get offers on a weekly basis and turn almost all of them down
Oh do they have one too?! I never smelt the original, I am still quite intrigued but unwilling to pay £100s for a bottle of it... I am glad I have an idea of what it might smell like now. Did you ever try the original?
Sorry I am afraid I've only browsed the site 10 months ago as the company just asked me which 10 fragrances to send on. You could try their customer service perhaps as the company seemed very responsive when I spoke to them 😊
@@dr.claire.perfume I think that you are the top notch. Hey I just listened to somebody talking about the brain. I was wondering if I could send you that link and we could or you could associate the bear chasing response with our association with perfume.
Dr Scott e i l e r s. It talks about the brain shutting down. In my opinion, perfumes activate my brain. Is there a way to connect these to phenomenon?

I think perfume parlour are the clone brand I most want to try, they have a great selection! Pretty much everything 😂
How did you get to order to luxor? I chose 10 oils and have not been able to get through. I don't know what I'm doing. How do you do this?

Ooh let me know what you choose and what you think if you do try them 😊
Interesting hearing your thoughts and comparisons where possible to the actual fragrances. Thanks Claire! 😊💛
Thanks! Yes some of these were really close, others not quite so close... most were pretty good though. I'd try more. 🥰
So awesome that they have some discontinued gems
Yes that's what you want from a clone oil selection, stuff you can't get any other way! 😊
Hi Claire! Great collab! So happy you got to test this house! ❤️
Thank you! They were mostly very impressive. I enjoyed testing and comparing them. 🥰
Congratulations Claire. I’m glad you found something that you could work with.

Ohh I’m so happy that these turned out to be amazing and even better that this one is closer to the real list cherry 🍒
They are both super close, but the oil is a little smoother. I think they would be amazing layered! 🍒
Ombré nuit is gorgeous ,I got to smell that in Harrods
