I love this new fragrance series, Marlena! You describe them so well. Fragrances are so important for me; they can transform my day in a second. I can't wait until next Friday! xoxo
same with me! I LOOOOOVE fragrances because they make me feel like a different person each day depending on what scent I wear. It's my 2nd love next to makeup lol
This is why I have always loved marlena she is very detail with describing products. That’s one of the reason I first followed when she first came on TH-cam.
I really enjoy when you boil down the DNA of the fragrance to two words (i.e. intriguing and seductive). It allows me to easily choose what vibe I'm going for or how I want to show up in a room. Thanks, Marlena!! XOXOXO!
I love these videos so much! Thank you for taking the time to do them. Your details and descriptions are impeccable. I also love that you link to samples! Would you ever consider doing a luxury candle video in the same vein?
My new fav perfume is Carolina Herrera Good Girl!! ❤️ I love sweet scents and it's so good. I also love Pink Sugar and always got compliments when I wore it!
@@MarlenaStell too funny! It's the first time I got a perfume based on reviews before smelling it! I asked for it for Christmas and my first sniff was after unwrapping it 😂.
Love fragrance Fridays!! Also thank you for adding the longevity of them☺ PS im so obsessed with the new eye brushes from makeup geek!!😍 They're soooo good! You nailed it👏🏾 PPS:that shirt goes so well with your hair! It's giving me valentine's day vibes💘❤💜
Omg I recently changed from buying these luxury fragrances to buying from Oil Perfumery Bc they smell better than the original for me. I love them and I save a lot. 😎
Hi Marlena. Love your content, but especially loving the perfume series. I am a perfume addict myself. I watch Demi Rawling also, but I would recommend a TH-cam Chanel to you that will be right up right up your alley Jus De Rose - professional, classy, creative perfume reviews from Josephine - amazing. You two have similar vibes and energy to me. Thank you for these videos. I am totally hooked on Jus De Rose even more so than Demi's, and now your perfume Fridays. Love and hugs. Muhiba
Obsessed with this new series!! Perfumes are a bit like my superpower-when I am wearing a perfume I feel unstoppable! So I am LIVING for this series. Question for you-I have read online that perfumes lose their scent/power after about a year…for someone who has a larger collection so it probably takes you a bit longer to get through a while bottle-do you find this to be true? Or do you find they last longer than that? Or do you buy smaller bottles so you go through them quickly? The bottles in your videos look large, so I’m just curious how you feel the perfumes last over time. Can’t wait to continue watching this series!!!❤️❤️
So mine last quite awhile as long as I keep them in a cool dark place. I get the smallest bottles possible except for one I love and know I’ll wear often (Crystal noir, baccarat rouge, etc) But mine last a long time and I don’t notice any changes! I’ve heard they can last 7 years even if they’re stored properly and out of the sun and heat
Love your parfume video. Love the way you describe the fragrance. I purchased dolce and gabbana pour femme LOVE IT ❤️ thanks so much for the recommendation
Yes please, I would love to see a initio video. I just bought the YSL Libre intense and the Psychedelic Love because of this video 🙈 I just couldn't help myself
I just smelled BR 540 for the first time last week. I totally agree that it smells like a very rich classy woman! I actually told my husband that when I got home from shopping
Marlena you are killin it!! Well done!! I love that you brought up Crystal Noir,I actually wore it lastnight for a dinner date with my husband. Then got home and noticed you upload a vid and mentioned Crystal Noir and Libre Intense which my husband loves loves those two fragrances on me as well. Marlena we have same taste in frags I also love love Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille . Thank you for making video 💖
I love your descriptions of each fragrance, super helpful! As I’m watching I’m curious, when you wear these for different occasions do you spray them different places? This is probably a rookie perfume question, but do you spray your skin, clothes, or both? Thanks, Marlena! 💜
Initio Absolute Aphrodisiac is also a really sexy one! It’s an herbaceous buttercream frosting type of smell! Highly recommend for a winter/fall date night!
I cant remember if i recommended Psychedelic Love to you but its one if my favorites as well. Really beautiful!! 🥰 You should check out Material by Amouage and Un Bois Vanille by Serge Lutens.
Yes please! Intio Parfums video pretty please ❤️ btw, Initio i think is under the same parent company of Parfums de Marly if you like Intio blend you must like PdM too. And Gris Charnel smell like Chai Tea Latte on my nose, i prefer Rouge Smoking from BDK ☺️
Great Video!....LOVE BDK Perfumes!...Gris Charnel, Pas Ce Soir, and Rouge Smoking...I am a big Xerjoff fan too..If you like Gris Charnel try "Ivory Route".
Ooh great recommendation! I don't have any Xerjoff yet but am dying to try them. I'm going to get some samples of Ivory Route :) I want to get Pas Se Coir next too
I rarely drink soda, I used to love Coca Cola but I stopped drinking it. Hearing you describe the TF scent made me blind order the perfume and I went to the Dollar store to pick up a root beer. It was a bit too sweet but delicious.
@@MarlenaStell the most lethal scent cocktail so far is Back to Black Aphrodisiac on the sides of the neck and Baccarat 540 on the wrists and in the hair. Drops panties AND briefs lol!
Oooohhh… initio psychedelic love… so good. I remember Demi Rawling talking about Gris Chanel but didn’t make much of it. Now that Marlena mentions it I have to find a way to smell it. Probably get it. lol
Love your fragrance videos! Have you tried Nirvana Amethyst by Elizabeth and James or Bon Bon by Viktor and Rolf? Both are sweet. Amethyst has a tobacco note mixed with honeysuckle. Bon Bon is orange blossom and caramel. Looking forward to the next video.
I am curious to smell Baccarat Rouge because everyone raves about it. I’m going to get a sample from Nordstrom to make sure I like it because it’s expensive. I personally don’t like sweet or floral, especially anything with rose in it. Many people cannot afford the perfumes you review so it would be great if you could also add affordable scents you like!
So there's a brand from Nordstrom called "Bon Parfumeur" that has AMAZING scents that are under $50. I'm going to do a fragrances under $50 video in a couple weeks :)
BR 540 does not work with my chemistry but the Burberry Her Intense does. They have a similar vibe though.They were both created by the same " nose" Francis Kurkdigan. There are loads of videos of dupes for BR 540. Lots of " inspired" fragrances houses have relatively affordable versions. I honestly like Ariana Grande's Cloud or Cloud Intense as the best affordable dupe. Better than the OG in my opinion.
@@jenniferhall7961 yes cloud smells extremely similar. I personally can’t wear br540 either it’s to much and gives me a headache. Mancera instant crush smells very similar to. 90% the same
Hi Marlena, I have a random question. A few years ago you mentioned the brand of your favorite wedge heels. I know they were designer but can’t think of the brand.
I just realised I own every single scent on this list except for TF Tobacco Vanille (beautiful top notes but quickly turns into rancid, tenacious baby powder on my skin). I guess I must be doing something right. LOL
Just FYI, my daughter and I discovered Dossier perfumes, and they really are dupes for the expensive ones. It's $29 for a bottle, and it's a fraction of the cost of the original.
I always struggle with frangrances just staying put on me! They always dissipate 😔 BUT Im not deterred, going to try some of these recommendations! ~marlena voice~ current obesssssssions~
I’m wondering if the reason your Baccarat isn’t smelling like spun sugar is because you actually have the Extrait de Parfum. The “red” bottle is the Extrait version. The cotton candy one is in the clear bottle. The clear one smells like cotton candy or spun sugar whereas the Extrait is more fruity and deep and complex.
Tom Ford’s Black Orchid is amazing. I’ve had mine for a little over 10 years. It’s so sexual, and I’ve had to be careful when I wear it, because it’s so sexy.
I love this new fragrance series, Marlena! You describe them so well. Fragrances are so important for me; they can transform my day in a second. I can't wait until next Friday! xoxo
same with me! I LOOOOOVE fragrances because they make me feel like a different person each day depending on what scent I wear. It's my 2nd love next to makeup lol
You’ve been killing it with your videos! And I love the way you describe the fragrances. Looking forward to more of the same. ❤️
Thank you so much!!
When I wear Black Orchid, I just cannot stop smelling myself, that is how much I looooove that one!!
I love black orchid!! Such a sexy fragrance 🔥🔥🔥
Marlena I'm starting to get obsessed with ur perfume uploads, please continue doing fragrance contents. Love ur descriptions. New subscriber here 🤗🥰
Oh yay!! I LOVE doing fragrance content 😍

LOVING your perfume series! You make want to buy everything 😭💸
the way you described these fragrances is BEAUTIFUL! I literally want to buy all of these! A BLIND BUY!
Oh I love fragrances! They all sound so tempting. Thank you for sharing!
I'm grateful for you being here !
You have a great way of describing these! Amazing that you aren’t repetitive. You are so well spoken anyway. I wish I’d found these earlier!
Burberry Her Intense is SO good. I agree with your description. I felt the OG Her was more juvenile than the intense version.
YSL black opium is thee best!! LOVE it!!
Yassss my man definitely approved 😁
I miss your fragrance videos. Please come back and make more! I enjoy watching you more than anyone else on TH-cam.
I am LOVING Fragrance Fridays!!! Your recommendations are THE BEST! 💕
I’m missing your fragrance videos and all your beauty videos. 💞
BR540 on me smells sooo fruity & sweet. I’m obsessed!!! Love them. I love Tom Ford lost cherry too
Enjoyed your fragrance Friday! Keep them coming.....
Glad you're liking them! xoxo
In my Marlena voice 🗣“Fragrance Friday is my current 🔥obsession🔥” - I love your presentation Marlena details w/ a personal touch❣️
LOL! And thank you :)
@@MarlenaStell thank you for all you’ve done and do for your YT Fam❤️
I love this series!!! You give such great descriptions that help us know what we might enjoy. And you talk about scents I’ve never heard of!
Hi marlena, I love your videos, Question! What is your favorite black liquid eyeliner and Mascara at the moment?
I love these videos so much! Thank you for taking the time to do them. Your details and descriptions are impeccable. I also love that you link to samples! Would you ever consider doing a luxury candle video in the same vein?
I loooove versace crystal noir edt gorgeous scents that lasts and lasts , plus its affordable
My new fav perfume is Carolina Herrera Good Girl!! ❤️ I love sweet scents and it's so good. I also love Pink Sugar and always got compliments when I wore it!
I love Good Girl! I had that in this list at #9 but the video was too long so I cut it 😩
Yes I love Good Girl and that bottle is super sexy.
Im obsessed with all Carolina’s Girl perfumes! So Good!!!
@@iammango08 I want to try more for sure!
@@MarlenaStell too funny! It's the first time I got a perfume based on reviews before smelling it! I asked for it for Christmas and my first sniff was after unwrapping it 😂.
Keep doing these videos! I love them & you are awesome 👏🏼 💝
Umm Marlena, your fragrance videos are
E V E R Y T H I N G 😍
XOXOXO
I might be biased but anything sweet I'm all about it, but anything with patchouli I instantly hate, that note is note for me in my life
I thought the same thing too! But I'm finding some fragrances with patchouli that I'm not minding now as long as it's super minimal.
But that shadowwwwwwwwww. Love it! Love your choices on the frags!
Love fragrance Fridays!! Also thank you for adding the longevity of them☺ PS im so obsessed with the new eye brushes from makeup geek!!😍 They're soooo good! You nailed it👏🏾
PPS:that shirt goes so well with your hair! It's giving me valentine's day vibes💘❤💜
Thanks so much Alesha! I'm so glad you're loving the new brushes!! xoxo
We need your Spring scent favorites!! 😍
OOH YES!! I'll post that end of this month. I adore Armani My Way, Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue, Dolce Shine (all of these are from Ulta ) :)
Wow Marlena.. you should be a wine tasting professional!! Loved this video!!
I’m obsessed with your fragrance videos!!! Can’t wait to try some of these 😊
*Luv YSL Libre* 🤩
I’m loving these fragrance Fridays!
I love filming them for you all!!
Many of my favorites in this video and some that I need to definitely try! Luv this !! 🥰
I would love for you to try Oud Bouquet By Lancôme. It’s one of my favorites.
I have that one and love it! 😍😍😍

@@MarlenaStell ❤️💐 love your videos have a wonderful day
I currently own 2 fragrances from Initio and I agree that Psychedelic Love is my top favorite from them as well. Very very seductive 💜💜💜

Yes please, I would love to see a initio video. I just bought the YSL Libre intense and the Psychedelic Love because of this video 🙈 I just couldn't help myself
If anyone likes tobacco vanille, I recommend By Kilian Back to Black. It's sooo good but similar.
reallY? Great recommendation! I need to smell this now because I LOVE vanilla and tobacco scents!
You are so amazing are describing fragrances!
Love these videos so much. Thank you.
An excellent affordable dupe for Baccarat 540 is Zara "Red Temptation"....It is a MUST try...It is Good Good!
I’ve been dying to try some Zara ones! I went to order and so many were sold out. Do they have in stores you think?
@@MarlenaStell I am not sure. I do not have a Zara store near me....Red Temptation was sold out a few times, but they keep restocking
@@WINDOW9226 ok I will look at one here! I’ve heard so many great things about their fragrances! I’ll get Red Tenptation if I can find in stock ❤️
@@MarlenaStell Good luck!!

So I always spray the same- once on my body and once on my clothes so it lasts longer :)
@@MarlenaStell thank you!! 💕
Initio Absolute Aphrodisiac is also a really sexy one! It’s an herbaceous buttercream frosting type of smell! Highly recommend for a winter/fall date night!
You are killing it with the fragrance content! Luv. 💜💜💜
You need to try Marc Jacobs Decadence and Victoria Secret Sexy Noir 🥰
I cant remember if i recommended Psychedelic Love to you but its one if my favorites as well. Really beautiful!! 🥰 You should check out Material by Amouage and Un Bois Vanille by Serge Lutens.
Really love your videos ,and your perfume collection is fabulous. Would you do a layering video please?
Loving the fragrance videos!
I needed some new fragrance ideas. 🥰🥰
I wish I could wear Libre, unfortunately the entire line is an instant migraine for me. Currently wearing Lira, my husband is a huge fan.
Libre is VERY strong for sure. I need to try Lira now because I hear so many people loving that one
Yes please! Intio Parfums video pretty please ❤️ btw, Initio i think is under the same parent company of Parfums de Marly if you like Intio blend you must like PdM too. And Gris Charnel smell like Chai Tea Latte on my nose, i prefer Rouge Smoking from BDK ☺️
Rouge Smoking is on my list to try next 😍
Marlena .. what eye shadows are you wearing ... so pretty ...❤❤
Can’t wait to try these!❤️
I’m loving your perfume series 💕💕 You have the same taste I do !!!!♥️♥️♥️
Love that you’re doing fragrance videos!!! 💖
Thank you .... I love when you review perfume 😍
Would you please post the links to your other perfume videos? Thanks
Girl you are the bomb at describing scents. If someone asked me what a particular scent smells like I would say it smell like perfume in a bottle.🤣🤣🤣
Yay fragrance Friday!
Hi Marlena, I love your fragrances series 🥰 and most of your perfumes are my favorites too 😘♥️ xoxo
I would love to hear you compare dupe house perfumes to the OG like Dossier, Dua or Alexandria fragrances. I would trust your opinion.
Great Video!....LOVE BDK Perfumes!...Gris Charnel, Pas Ce Soir, and Rouge Smoking...I am a big Xerjoff fan too..If you like Gris Charnel try "Ivory Route".
Ooh great recommendation! I don't have any Xerjoff yet but am dying to try them. I'm going to get some samples of Ivory Route :) I want to get Pas Se Coir next too
YAY.......you got Crystal Nior!
I love YSL libre, BDK Tubereus & BDK rouge smoking
GREAT Series!
Love Initio so yes pls for a video :)
🤩 definitely need 1 or 2 for myself 🎉
I LOVE these fragrance videos! 🥰
Crystal noir edt and edp smell different. Which one are you showing?
I rarely drink soda, I used to love Coca Cola but I stopped drinking it. Hearing you describe the TF scent made me blind order the perfume and I went to the Dollar store to pick up a root beer. It was a bit too sweet but delicious.
You should check out Michelle Wang’s fragrance recommendations… she also loves coca cola-esq smells!
Whenever I cocktail Bacarrat with any other fragrance, instant panty-dropper! Definitely need to try Crystal Noir :)
LMAO at panty dropper!
What's your favorite combos?? I need to try this!!
I haven't tried it yet.....Baccarat 540 and Initio "Oud for Greatness" is supposed to be a great combo.
@@MarlenaStell the most lethal scent cocktail so far is Back to Black Aphrodisiac on the sides of the neck and Baccarat 540 on the wrists and in the hair. Drops panties AND briefs lol!
PS. I hear BTB has been reformulated so look for older batches of you plan to buy. It projects like CRAZY, and lasts a long time, too. :)
Keep up your fragrance videos!
Hi Marlena please can you tell me if your talking about Versace Crystal Noir EDP OR EDT😬 xoxo
Oooohhh… initio psychedelic love… so good. I remember Demi Rawling talking about Gris Chanel but didn’t make much of it. Now that Marlena mentions it I have to find a way to smell it. Probably get it. lol
the notes you mentioned for the Versace Crystal Noir seems to be for the EDP rather than the EDT. Could you clarify which you have?
This was such an interesting video! I'd love to see your opinion of store brand perfumes like Zara. I truly trust your opinion!
I’ve been meaning to get some Zara perfumes for sure!
Love your fragrance videos! Have you tried Nirvana Amethyst by Elizabeth and James or Bon Bon by Viktor and Rolf? Both are sweet. Amethyst has a tobacco note mixed with honeysuckle. Bon Bon is orange blossom and caramel. Looking forward to the next video.

Hi Marlena, I have a random question. A few years ago you mentioned the brand of your favorite wedge heels. I know they were designer but can’t think of the brand.
Jimmy Choo has great ones! They are expensive but very comfortable. Jessica Simpson also makes some great ones :)
I just realised I own every single scent on this list except for TF Tobacco Vanille (beautiful top notes but quickly turns into rancid, tenacious baby powder on my skin).
I guess I must be doing something right. LOL
Most of us can't afford these.... wish your recent videos were more relatable to your fans
Just FYI, my daughter and I discovered Dossier perfumes, and they really are dupes for the expensive ones. It's $29 for a bottle, and it's a fraction of the cost of the original.

It might be! I have a sample of the regular version and it doesn’t smell sweet on me either 😩 But I still love it so much
Crystal noir for sure 😍😍😍 I find bdk pas ce soir much more sexy then gris charnel. Delina is very loved by men.
I agree...Pas ce Soir is warmer and sexier. Gris Charnel is colder, less sensual.
Tom Ford’s Black Orchid is amazing. I’ve had mine for a little over 10 years. It’s so sexual, and I’ve had to be careful when I wear it, because it’s so sexy.
I wish people would do "it's similar to" when describing perfumes.
Where is the best place to go smell a bunch of perfumes? I feel ulta always has the same set and Sephora by me has a very small array.
I think the original 540 has more of the sweetness rather than the extrait version
Just blind buyed Burberry. Waiting for package with fngers crossed🤞 😬
