The fragrances are much more aligned with niche releases than designer releases - they’re bold and daring and polarising.. but he’s a designer not an independent / specifically a perfume house. Tom I hope you stocked up on white patchouli 😢😢
"She kept wafting a dark, green, incensy thing at me"...what an awesome way to describe a fragrance. Looks like I really have to check out Decadence now! Thanks for that!
If you want to try a dupe of Midnight Poison try the fragrance shop. They sell pure perfume oil dupes of many discontinued perfumes and their very good quality.
There is something sooo very satisfying in watching your top 10 lists. They’re done of my favorites to rewatch/listen to. 👍🏾 AND I love this green screen background!!! It’s your signature. Great go to. 👍🏾
I always revisit frags I thought I didn't like and am surprised, a really good tip although not always convenient? Is to ask a friend to wear it around you, sounds crazy but it works! That way you get a real feel for it. Go shopping with a friend, let em spray it and then see what happens. haha.
Tom Ford -White Patchouli (yes) Dolce & Gabbana-Red Cap (YES) Marc Jacobs-Decadence (yes) RED CAP IS ONE OF 2 OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE FRAGRANCES. MISHA BY MIKHAIL BARYSHNIKOV IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE...THESE 2 WILL FOREVER AND EVER BE IN MY PERFUME ARSENAL.
Oh my God....I have 7 out of 10 of your choices. I think we have similar "scentsibility". White Patchouli gives me the power to say, "I have an opinion too". If you like Alien, try Alien Essence Assolue When I wear it, it feels like an alien ship came down and picked me up.
Maybe we are scent twins? I love essence absolue but sweet things go even sweeter on me and this one is the sweetest version of Alien by far! It's lovely though.
Niche brands make only fragrances and scented products, Guerlain does make up and skin care as well making them designer now and not niche. Masstiege is a word I like (and made up) but muddies rather than clarifies the waters: mass market prestige brands (Cartier, Hérmes & Bvlgari spring to mind) Guerlain is definitely in that realm, hell they got seniority over most! Samsara is perfect...nice honorable mention anyhoo. Toodles 🐩 J xox 💞😘🌈 PS Kudos for including TomFord signature line; IT is designer but the Private Blends are deffo nichery!! 😋👋😂 One last question: did you ever try (or dare I hope) review the reformat D&G Intense?? You're views of the evolution of that perfume would rule. J xox
Hey John!!! Yes I did try the D&G intense...oooh lord. It's a sugary mess. But I'm biased because nothing is ever gonna compare the original. It was a total yukky revamp portrayed as the same fragrance. BAD D&G! Oh also, Joseph messaged me after my review, and has left some of his beautiful attars at my work place, cant' wait to smell em!
Ooh cool topic. I have to think about this one. I have very few designers. My collection is 90% Niche. I Don’t much like many designers. But the ones I have. I love and yes I also love Samsara and Coromandel is also in my top 10. Angel and Alien are also in my top 10. We have almost the same top 10 list…lol
Michael by Michael Kors is my favorite tuberose fragrance. I love Alien, but it was an acquired taste for me because I didn’t like it the first few times I tried it. Crystal Noir EDT smells really good and it’s long lasting (I’ve never tried the EDP version).
Wow you do know me! The only one not in there is Stella which hurts me but only because I can’t deal with the reform. Samsara? Also not there as it’s not designer BUT.... watch the video and you will see haha. How cool!
Ahhh I thought someone might mention stella. and you're right! But "loved" is the operative word. I can't deal with the reformulation and it hurts too much haha so, that's why it's not on the list. :)
All perfumes from Thierry Mugler are the Absolute Ultimate. They are indeed empowering. Coming directly after them are Escada women and Tom Ford Violet Blonde for me.
Great list here! Can you recommend 2 or 3 others that you would consider somewhat “weird” like TF’s white patchouli. Also, same question for any other “dark twisted” frags you can recommend like Decadence?
D&G are certainly stellar with their fragrances. Obsession has cola scent as well I love it. I made my own cola perfume just with cola fragrance and canola oil it smells heavenly and I would go outside to the store with that on me. Haha I get compliments from people on my self made perfumes because they all know those life long scents and they always associate happiness with it. My chocolate perfume encourages men to talk to me ha.
I love you 😍 your so charming and I do love Michael Kors Michael was my first ever perfume I bought with my first ever salary ! I still have it for memories
I like to distinguish between designer, niche and perfumer. And Guerlain is a perfumer. I have so much respect and love for houses that in hundreds of years have exclusively specialized in making perfume and ,at least until quite recently, have kept working on refining the art of it!!!!!!!! However given the choice I would have put Guerlain amongst the designers too. Greetings
Dolce vita was my favourite perfume but my latest bottle is so watery and the smell doesn’t hold. Unfortunately I don’t think I will buy it again ! :-(
Yay! Thanks for doing this video! Also, thank you for such kind words about my channel/video. You're very kind! Oops, I put Guerlain Shalimar on my list-- oh well? 🤣 Many of these I haven't smelled, but the 'Dolce Vita' intrigues me; the bottle reminds me of a golden moon. 🌕 Anything with a cola note or cola vibe grabs my attention. I'm going to have to seek some of these out to sniff, notably the last two. I like dark, twisted scents as well; i.e. ones that seem like a sorceress might wear them -- it sounds like 'Decadence' might fit that criteria. Great list! I'm glad you would take the bird in an emergency!
Hi ! So when I watched this video I was puzzled as to where your beloved Stella was , but then read you where to upset to list it because of reformulated, have you tried floral street black lotus? It's very similar I'm obsessed with this perfume line , well I'm pretty sure you e smelt em , also dolce vita 😍
I think this video confirms that you REALLY need to pick up the Alien Liqeuer version . I have been wearing it non stop lately , so deliciously beautiful. :)
Hello! I love your videos, thank you for sharing your experiences in the perfumery. I would like to ask that if possible show the bottles of perfumes again, I really like to see the original perfumes as you speak.
Thanks! It's not always possible to show the bottles because I don't always own them. I do reviews based on "some" bottles I own but also samples I own too. :)
I got Decadence as a gift recently, but haven’t worn it yet since it’s only started getting cold where I live. However you’ve sparked my interest in it so I’ll find a way to wear it tomorrow!!!
Also not true...I own...versace black jeans, prada amber man, 212. geo sandalwood, vi et armis by beaufort, to name a few. get out of your box and open your mind...ya might find some amazing scents ya never knew.
I suggest you do not limit your fragrance choices by restricting yourself to supposedly masculine fragrances ... a lot of people just wear what they like ... and yes, men like fragrances perhaps seen as feminine and prepare yourself .... because, shock 😨 ... gasp 😧 ... horror 😱 ... some women like to wear what are perhaps construed to be masculine style fragrances. Lighten up, it's only perfume and it's meant to be enjoyed.
I'm not a "men" I'm a "man" singular. What fragrances I wear? Is up to me. I'm person who has studied fragrances and ingredients in depth. So, I am not closed minded when it comes to the way things smell. A smell is a smell... if it smells good? I'm gonna wear it. Maybe try not to be so closed minded and don't be a sheep and follow labels that tell you "pour homme" that's just dumb. There was a time where women wearing pants was weird. I'ts 2018 dude. OPEN YOUR MIND!
I just love listening to you talk. 😍 Truly my fav TH-cam perfume reviewer.
xcomfortablynumb83x So true. He is my favorite, too! 😃👏
Awww stop it you!!!
Agree
I wanted to put Samsara on my list too but thought the same thing lol Great list, i'm glad you did this tag! 😊
Thanks. Samsara is the queen of .....erm...EVERYTHING! HAHA
Great list and so refreshing that you've included TF as a designer house, Ive never understood why TF is viewed as a niche frag house......
His Private reserve line is NICHE.
@@ChildofGodforevr Does it have an impact on how much you like it?
The fragrances are much more aligned with niche releases than designer releases - they’re bold and daring and polarising.. but he’s a designer not an independent / specifically a perfume house.
Tom I hope you stocked up on white patchouli 😢😢
Anglien. 😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
Aliengel or Anglien. Either way, now I wanna layer em.
ouch110 Fragrance Reviews 😂😂❤️
"She kept wafting a dark, green, incensy thing at me"...what an awesome way to describe a fragrance. Looks like I really have to check out Decadence now! Thanks for that!
That's exactly what it is! It's the first ever green gourmand I've smelled. It's kinda violetty too. A weird and good one.
Thank you for whispering *Samsara*. Great list!
samsaraaaaaaa
Yes bring back Midnight Poison! Gaaaaaaah! X
PLEASE!!
If you want to try a dupe of Midnight Poison try the fragrance shop. They sell pure perfume oil dupes of many discontinued perfumes and their very good quality.
There is something sooo very satisfying in watching your top 10 lists. They’re done of my favorites to rewatch/listen to. 👍🏾
AND I love this green screen background!!! It’s your signature. Great go to. 👍🏾
Thanks darl!
You are delightful to listen to. Xo
So... im going to give decandence another chance ☺...it wasnt my cup of tea when i smelled it in the store...but i trust your taste 😌
I always revisit frags I thought I didn't like and am surprised, a really good tip although not always convenient? Is to ask a friend to wear it around you, sounds crazy but it works! That way you get a real feel for it. Go shopping with a friend, let em spray it and then see what happens. haha.
Can you please review vera wang princess if you have the chance? Love you and your channel! 🍓🍉☺😊
Coromandel will always be my all time fave. 💖💖
For gods sake, put Samsara on the list!
I can't.....it's been butchered. Sad times.
Lol 😂 Aliengel!! Love your videos ❤
Maybe we should layer em to make Aliengel?
ouch110 Fragrance Reviews Yes!!! Hahaha! That would be perfect 😁
Tom Ford -White Patchouli (yes)
Dolce & Gabbana-Red Cap (YES)
Marc Jacobs-Decadence (yes)
RED CAP IS ONE OF 2 OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE FRAGRANCES. MISHA BY MIKHAIL BARYSHNIKOV IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE...THESE 2 WILL FOREVER AND EVER BE IN MY PERFUME ARSENAL.
Another great shirt too btw

Great list 👍🏻👍🏻🤗 ( I have the same feelings about Dolce Vita - one of my " oldest love scents ". ). Greetings from Holland ! 😊
Hallo! Greeting from London. Dolce Vita is super beautiful..I no longer have it though. Sad times. :(
I just adore you! ❤️
Aww you're so sweet thank you!
All this time, I'm here, thinking I've subscribed 👀👀 (I have now)
Yay!
I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE Decadence! Just so beautiful and my signature :)
You are too funny! Love you
Great list! So glad you would take the bird too!
Lovely video 😊 your videos are always so refreshing 😘thanks for the info 😇

Before I watch, I wanna guess and see how well I know you.
- Red Cap by D&G
- Samsara
- Midnight Poison
- Stella
- Alien
- Maybe Coromandel?
Jesus. Ruled out Samsara right off the bat lol.
Wow you do know me! The only one not in there is Stella which hurts me but only because I can’t deal with the reform. Samsara? Also not there as it’s not designer BUT.... watch the video and you will see haha. How cool!
Angel Lately so this is where you are hiding?! I've BEEN waiting for a video😒
where is stella in ur list?i thought u loved that perfume.
Ahhh I thought someone might mention stella. and you're right! But "loved" is the operative word. I can't deal with the reformulation and it hurts too much haha so, that's why it's not on the list. :)
Very unique selection of perfumes. Great review!

Loved this! Please do niche next ❤
Oohhh yay
haha! If my house was on fire I would get the hell out of there...with my bag full of the Les Exclusifs edt :D
Love!

Well said!
Dolce vita was my favourite perfume but my latest bottle is so watery and the smell doesn’t hold. Unfortunately I don’t think I will buy it again ! :-(
Sorry to hear that. yeah the reformulation is meant to suck. i'm too scared to smell it. :)
yes bring back hypnotic poison original formula.i ..have ysl elle..but its just not the same!
I had Samsara before but I'm not a fan of it. It's just way too aggressive for me.
I love Coromand but Kwon I think Darcy of parfums Marly is like Coromandel but better more sexy
Oh really? I will have to hunt it down. :)
Yay! Thanks for doing this video! Also, thank you for such kind words about my channel/video. You're very kind!

Tom Ford in my opinion is a drug store fragrance and I wouldn’t give him a cent.
Oh god... I have some Guerlain on my list 🤦♀️ do I need to refilm?!
Erm.....haha. Nah....
And OMG you now have a channel. I'm THERE!
ouch110 Fragrance Reviews You’re so sweet 😘 I made a new channel for fragrance stuff! I’ll let you know when I upload! 😁
No they are not. They do not design clothes or jewellery as a main focus. They are predominantly a fragrance house, they are a tough one.
Yay love your videos 🤗❤❤😀🤗🤗🤗🤗
Crystal Noir IS MY DESIGNER LIFE and signature scent. It's been my lover since 2011 (It reminds me of my Edinburgh student days)!!
Heyyyy gorgeous lady. How come you aren't doing vids anymore? We need your sunshine in our life!
Nooooooo... Midnight poison..... I mourn till now... Dupe... Dupe need more dupe...
Me too.
Hi ! So when I watched this video I was puzzled as to where your beloved Stella was , but then read you where to upset to list it because of reformulated, have you tried floral street black lotus? It's very similar I'm obsessed with this perfume line , well I'm pretty sure you e smelt em , also dolce vita 😍
Ok I need to try this floral street one. I work JUUUUUST round the corner.
I think this video confirms that you REALLY need to pick up the Alien Liqeuer version . I have been wearing it non stop lately , so deliciously beautiful. :)
Ahhh I have it! hehe.
Hello! I love your videos, thank you for sharing your experiences in the perfumery. I would like to ask that if possible show the bottles of perfumes again, I really like to see the original perfumes as you speak.

Yay! It's WAY better in the cold.
please please review Angel Fruity Fair. I love your reviews and Angel MUSE EDT
Oh yeah! As soon as I can get a sample... I will!
Love to sample Coromandle
Great list.
Dolce & Gabbana red cap is beautiful. I am happy to be back to your Channel. I am missing your birds singing in the background. 😊🤗
Oh the bird is always there haha. Just sometimes he's sleepy.
@@ouch110 I love hearing your bird.
The original red cap D&G was very good, such pitty it is not around anymore!
It is actually back to buy in some places, it is not the original formula but it is around if you look for it! :)
@@ouch110 Well, I have looked around but couldn't find it, I have found some other hidden gems, just not this one.
No Euphoria CK?
Midnight Poison and Chanel Coromandel...yeah 😍
yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I love your videos! Greetings from Mexico!
Thanks! Greetings from London. :)
I’ve been buying and wearing Red Cap for 20 years.
Legend!
Red Cap is my favorite ❤
Enjoy you so much 😊
Very nice! Ido love the way of your explanation! You are so gorgeous👏👏😘
Oh gosh...BLUSH.
Please do a review of the fragrances in your "Perfume Sniffing in London videos" if you happen to have any of them :)
HellO! The only one I have is "use abuse" which I will do soon.
Yay! That is actually the one that I am anticipating the most since you have gushed over it so much in your travel vid lol :D
What are your thoughts about Ciara 80
ooof I have never smelled it.
You are so nice! I love your vídeos!
Thanks Diego! :) x
Love your videos. New subscriber.
Thanks, and welcome!

What about men's fragrances?
ANOSMIC NAZIC No need for that tone of comment.
What about them?
Also not true...I own...versace black jeans, prada amber man, 212. geo sandalwood, vi et armis by beaufort, to name a few. get out of your box and open your mind...ya might find some amazing scents ya never knew.
What about 10 designer men's fragrances for life?
I actually do own women's fragrances too, just curious about your 10 men fragrances....
You are truly adorable. :)
you a Men but only wear Woman perfume? wtf is going on
Last I checked, fragrances don't have genitalia ;-)
I suggest you do not limit your fragrance choices by restricting yourself to supposedly masculine fragrances ... a lot of people just wear what they like ... and yes, men like fragrances perhaps seen as feminine and prepare yourself .... because, shock 😨 ... gasp 😧 ... horror 😱 ... some women like to wear what are perhaps construed to be masculine style fragrances.
