🌟 About this video
I love watching perfume empties videos because people tend to have a solid final opinion on fragrances they finish. I also find fragrance empties videos really satisfying. I love them much more than perfume hauls or fragrance declutters, I can't be the only one
So it's been 6 months since the last perfume empties video back in May 2023...(It's linked below with my other perfume empties video if you want to watch it). Here I talk you through the 10 bottles that I've finished off since then and let you know what I thought and whether I would consider repurchasing. These are mostly summer perfumes since I finished these mostly during the summer.
Which perfumes have you emptied recently? Have you tried any of the perfumes that I've finished and would you repurchase them?

I hate and love emptying a fragrance. It’s a bittersweet feeling 😂
I think when I like but don't love it, I am quite happy to move on, it's only when I loved it do I have a little pang of regret, but that's ridiculous because I've loved it and enjoyed it 😂 I like trying new things and so I always think, well that's a space for a new one and honestly, I've usually replaced it with something by the time it leaves anyway 🤦♀️
I also hate paying the postage... 😅 And I have this weird thing, when I've almost run out of a perfume or a cosmetic, I feel like I want to finish it off quickly to get rid of the bottle and start a new one. I'm about to empty Zara's Sand Desert At Sunset and Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noire, and I feel the presure already. 😂
Yes, postage really irks me, I guess if you grew up buying stuff from physical shops, there's some psychological block there 🤣
And yes, same, unless I absolutely love something, if it's getting low, I usually just finish it. I have about 120 bottles right now and I'd like to get back to about 100 if possible.
Makeup lasts me ages, but I finished two blush pans this year which has astounded me, I hardly ever finish powder blush. A nice excuse to choose something different to enjoy 🥰
Hi! I'm sometimes this way as well, however often times I alsoI behave quite the opposite: as soon as I notice I'm going low on a perfume/cosmetic I start saving it, because somehow I'm afraid to run out of it. This is weeird😢 oftentimes the last drops of the item goes bad this way. Need to change my mindset!
Yes when stuff goes bad it makes you rethink. I hoarded a small amount of a sentimental fragrance for a few years and it turned, now I just enjoy things until they gone 😊
Yes we’re always looking for “the one”! Until we find the one and start looking for the next “one” Lol
Minimalism with a hug- perfect way to describe glossier you!
Yes 😂 it makes zero sense...
And Glossier You I really enjoyed ☺️
Empties and declutters with descriptions are always good videos. It’s helpful to know why perfumes are liked/ disliked.
Yes I agree, I love hearing exactly what people thought with no agenda of trying to sell it to you 😂 That's the problem with hauls with affiliate links! 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume You’re speaking 100% truth.
👍
I am absolutely fine with clone houses. Most of them indicate that they are “inspired by” XYZ. Fragrance should not simply be for the elite, which with things priced the way they are these days, it is becoming so.
I see it as the exact same thing as posters of Van Gogh or Monet. It’s not the actual painting, it is a replica. But how many people would have art on their walls if they were only able to purchase “originals”?
I say Huzzah for moving out of the ridiculous 18th century of salons and snuff vs plagues and 35 year lifespans 😂
I'm not snooty about clones either, I'm on the fence. I am happy to try them. In fact, I was sent some pr a few months back by a clone house and I reviewed the ten oils that they sent me, a few of them were really good, a few were further away from what they were supposed to be. But I guess that only matters if people want a spot on clone and really know what the fragrance smells like. Perfume is ridiculously priced... I get it with indie as they are small brands but with niche and designer, no... Thanks for watching 🥰
It’s funny to see the people that do state that fragrance cloning is unethical... but they wear jeans that aren’t Levi’s. A standard is a standard, not just for fragrances - but I’ve noticed most of the perfume channels that are against clones... all receive $400 bottles for free in PR.
Also the Clones video, yes topnotch, so much work in there. Definetly one to be proud of.
But as a casual viewer I think all of your videos are absolutely fantastic. I certainly have a few I've watched many times
Thank you 😊 I've watched some of yours a few times too 🥰
Declutters, dents and empties videos are amongst my favourite videos to watch. They tell a lot. It's been a long way😂but i finally finished a few bottles, too.
Enjoyed this 👌🏽 ❤
Aah! Yes it takes ages! I had most of these three years and a few were partials to begin with or just travel sprays. I look forward to your empties video, I love hearing what people thought of what they've finished! 🥰
I’m wearing Signorina Mysteriosa today. I’ve had it since 2020. I rarely wear it but I’ve had it on a few hours this morning and I can’t stop smelling myself. Then I clicked on your video. I think resellers are selling Mysteriosa for low prices. I have a 100 ml bottle I found as part of a 3 piece set at TJ Maxx in December 2020. I haven’t ever finished a fragrance since I started buying them in 2020!! This year I’m going to use them more. Thanks for all the great content videos.
It's weirdly addictive isn't it? For its pricepoint, Misteriosa is lovely! I remember seeing it very cheap online at one point but alas, I didn't buy it and now look, it's nowhere to be seen. 🤦♀️
I think I only finished Signorina ribelle this quickly because it was a little travel spray and I had it in my handbag to refresh at lunchtimes, it was fab for work this summer ☺️
Way to go Claire! ❤ I need the motivation lately I’ve been annoyed by perfumes ( I think it’s all hormonal ) I actually stopped wearing a scent to bed which is so not like me, as I continued watching I went ahead and finished up my travel spray of Burberry Goddess! Thank you Claire I seriously needed the motivation today ❤
I think I definitely go off certain scents sometimes and actually over the last two weeks, I've worn perfume to bed only twice. I've been so busy that fragrance has been more of an afterthought of late 😱 wow Burberry Goddess gone already, that's pretty new! 🥰
Love empties videos! I rarely repurchase a fragrance as by 50% through I’ve generally had enough!
However Eclat d’Arpege is exempt from this 😂, I’m not sure why but every time I wear it, it takes me back to a holiday before lockdown. I didn’t even own the perfume then so I can only assume other people were wearing it? 🤷🏻♀️. Very strange 😅.
The next one isn’t strictly a repurchase but I received Dyptique’s Philosykos for my birthday and I’m pleased to say it is reminding me of the discontinued Jo Malone Wild Fig & Cassis, so it sort of feels like a repurchase, but not! This too brings back memories - in particular when my daughters were younger and I would change their beds, I always put a couple of sprays of JM fig on the clean duvet covers as they loved it, and when I wore philosykos today my daughter said it smells of when she was young, so very happy to have that smell back in my life! 😅
Thanks for the vid xx
Yes I think if I don't just take most fragrance to work to casually respray at lunchtime, I'd never get through them as I also tend to get fed up after a bit with ones I like but don't love. A lot of these didn't last that well, so I'd be scentless in the afternoon if I didn't have a bottle on my desk to spritz.
Éclat d'arpege, is that the lilac one? I've not tried it, but I've heard lots of people say how good it is and affordable too.
Philosykos is lovely 😍 and what a lovely scent memory with it too. That's what fragrance is all about I think! Triggering those thoughts, feelings and memories ❤️ thanks for watching 🥰 have a fab weekend 😊
@@dr.claire.perfume thank you, you too! Yes the lilac one, it does have some similarities with light blue but it’s more floral and softer - It just smells beautiful 😍
Yes I’m all about the scent memories, it’s the driving force behind my perfume buying haha.
‘Scentless by lunchtime’ made me chuckle 😆, thanks again and take care xx
🤣 You too! ☺️
I love CK IN2U for her. It's such an underrated gem. My bottle is several years old and I had no idea about the reformulation. I also adore Chloe Nomade Absolu (and was gutted to learn it's being discontinued) so it's no wonder I enjoy both fragrances. I really enjoy an oakmoss note.
I have no idea whether it has been or not, but wow, my experience with those two bottles was night and day 😂 I just finished my bottle of Chloe Nomade and was wondering whether to get the absolu, perhaps I should look into it sooner rather than later! Oakmoss is something I didn't used to love, but now I absolutely can't get enough ☺️
Hey Claire. I’m so jealous of your ability to have empties!! 😂 you’re right about this vicious cycle of buying fragrances.
It never ends... I'm on a no buy now until January. I figure I can manage a month 😂
Lots of these I'd had for ages or there wasn't a lot when I got them, like the Dossier one, or they were travels. I am happy to finish some of these. I don't feel I'll miss them, plus light summery ones tend to go off quicker so I don't really want those sitting around unloved. I want to get my collection back to around 100, that's my current aim! 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume no buy until January! Nice! I don’t think I’m at 100 and I’m trying not to get there 😂 I feel if I finish some I won’t miss them either. I have some that I want to finish in the next couple of months.
Yes, don't get there 🤣 it's overwhelming 🤣
A couple of these you mentioned, I remember TH-camr Shana J recommending. Pleats Please L’eau and Moschino Funny. I really miss her videos! Good job on all the empties Claire! I’ve never ever had an empty before so I’m fascinated by this!
Until you said that I hadn't realised that I'd not seen anything from her for a while! Yes she always had some good affordable options. Out of two, I think Funny was more me than pleats please l'eau. But both were actually fab for their pricepoints!
Wow that's crazy! Not even a travel spray?! I took a lot of these to work to respray at lunchtime as a lot of these tended to fade throughout the day and some I wore to bed a bit, like covet pure bloom towards the end. I tend to wear light fresh or comforting ones to bed. Thanks for watching 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume Yes I have a list on my phone of affordable ones she used to talk about!!
Nope I haven’t even finished a travel spray! 🤣😂 but I’ve really only been at this for a little over 3 years, I’m sure I’ll get there eventually! 😆
Well I think my collection started off small then expanded quickly and now I'm on a more even keel, as I tend to just enjoy sampling. I've come to realise that... I hope not to buy any more bottles this year 🤞 I'd like to downsize my collection a little... I don't have room or the headspace for more than 120. That's the limit. 🙂
It's crazy that it almost seems rare and unusual to hear someone talking about fragrances they've finished. I admire the anchorage to the fragrances you know you love and don't stray from.
I can't imagine finishing a bottle at this point which is mental. But there a small handful that get a very fair amount of use. I don't have the sentimentality for perfume and can easily move on. 🤦♀️. Stella McCartney Absolute is the closest I've got to the original Stella edp and I've been reaching for that lately. So i guess that holds the most integrity to what I've always loved 👍👍
I think I am trying to curate my collection a little with finishing ones I like but don't love, more often than ones I really love. I tend to wear those to work or bed and so they tend to get finished as I do those things a lot. I have a big problem in that the ones I tend to love are all discontinued or discontinued formulations...
I think I need to get out of the mindset of curating in this way. I really need to be more brutal with decluttering but I have to really dislike something for me to declutter it. 🤦♀️ I've been decluttering a bit more recently though so we'll see! I'm at 120 currently and I want to be back around 100 ideally. 🤔
Oh Stella was beautiful and I bet Stella absolute is gorgeous too! I think a lot of yours have some massive dents, like Rose Rouge! 🥰
Really interesting that out of the 9 from S&B, you left and emptied White Peaches… especially with your “relationship” with peach in perfumes 😁
I know!!! Notice too that this was the only one I had with the old style labels 🤷♀️ I didn't love it, but I didn't dislike it at all, a definite like.
What you said about a whole world of fragrance out there stopped me from going to buy a back-up of a fragrance mist I just got today....I was just planning on driving miles to the drugstore in all this traffic😂. And I most likely will tire of the scent by next week and wonder why I bought two. It's a $2 spray though so no big loss. I loved Loverdose Red Kiss and wish I could repurchase.
I used to buy backups sometimes, but I ended up selling most of them. I guess by the time I'm through something my taste usually moves into the next thing. The one exception is Alien really. I would love more of the original formulation but it's so hard to find now. Loverdose Red Kiss is findable here still, TKMaxx has it a lot and a few other places. My half full bottle was bought secondhand though as I wasn't sure about having a whole bottle of it. I didn't like it to begin with but as I got to the end, it became a little addictive 😂
Salvatore Ferragamo Signorina Misteriosa is still easily available everywhere you buy perfumes at least in Denmark. It is very inexpensive too!!
Yes I think here it used to be about £15 for 100ml, 😂 I just looked and it's about £45-50 now, still relatively inexpensive though. 😊
I miss Julija 😢
She was one of my all time faves to watch.
Yes Julija rocks. I did speak to her a month or so back, I need to contact her again. ☺️
I'm very curious about the Glossier perfume, I've seen it everywhere on social media 🤩
I love Signorina Ribelle, it's so nice💕
I hate paying postage too😂 I always add a hand cream or lipgloss to reach the desired amount😅😊
Glossier You is very easygoing and everyday. It makes me think of a very cool arts student 😂 signorina ribelle was really lovely for the pricepoint and I loved having it as a travel spray.
I’m so sorry to hear you hurt your ankle. I’m glad you are better
Thanks Liz, yes it was a frustrating 3 and a half weeks of my annual leave spent sitting around 😂
@@dr.claire.perfume aw man that’s terrible
It wasn't a bad break so I'm grateful for that. 😊
I always your empties videos! I'm always here watching, I just watch my favorite channels while I do chores or get ready and I can't always comment.
No worries, I've been applying for jobs, and trying to get stuff published, I get it. This has all taken a backseat for me of late but hopefully it will be back a little more in late January when it's all over. 🤦♀️ Super stressful!
I’m so glad that you enjoyed ambery cherry 🍒 I adore it so much and it gives me all the cherry almond feels that I crave ,at the end of the day that’s all that matters
Exactly! It's lovely and addictive! And other people loved it too! Definitely my most complimented this year! Thank you 🥰
Amazing as always Claire!!!♥️♥️♥️
Thanks Joss ❤️
Yes I remember your clones video and it was so good!!! ❤
Thank you ❤️ it took ages! I did soooo much reading! 🤣 I'm too obsessive 🤣
Adore this content!❤
Thank you 🥰
Greetings Claire. This sounds fun. Love empties
Yes me too ☺️
claire, i love these videos and always look forward to them! my favourite videos are empties and yes they are super satisfying and motivates me to use up my stuff, and i trust a review much more if someone has run through a bottle rather than tested it just a few times
Yes I agree! If you only wear something once or twice before you review it then it's not necessarily a reliable opinion that you are presenting. I love perfume empties too, I always watch them if I see a video. I love seeing what people thought of the fragrances. For the most part, I am usually done once I've been through a bottle of something, but I think here with some of these, my taste has just moved on since I bought them as a lot of these were from 2020/2021.
Love a good empties video 🙌🏽🙌🏽 I’m always interested to see what people use up! ❤
Yes they are fascinating! Hope you are well 🥰
So kind of you-thank you for your explanation, and I will look at the video you mentioned.
No worries! Thanks 😊
Thanks for sharing your empties ,it’s so satisfying
Hugs ❤
Yes I love an empties video and hearing what people thought. ☺️
Nice video Claire! Ive enjoyed it a lot. Love this content, as well as perfume dents
Yes, I love empties videos ☺️ I wasn't sad to finish most of these, I enjoyed trying them, but I'm moving on. 🥰
Hi Claire, the SJP Covet Pure Bloom is still available here in Australia through a large chemist chain. I bought it a couple of months ago and It was only $25 for 100ml. I haven’t used it yet, but I think it will make a nice room spray. 😃🇦🇺
Wow, it's very hard to find here now. Yes, it's a pleasant enough fragrance for the pricepoint. I think when I first bought it, I was much less picky 🤣 and I'd not tried anywhere near as many fragrances. It's the same level as most of the other SJP fragrances really. The opening is very nice, I'd try it before consigning it to room spray. 🥰
Hi Clare ,relaxing tonight while I catch up on videos after a busy Friday and Saturday
It seems everyone is busy this time of year! You been doing some shopping?
I have finished a few bottles both larger and many travel sizes this year. My biggest bottle finished was Nasheet. I’ve been giving some to my little girl (7) to enjoy when I only like but not love them but they are younger smelling (some of my Ariana scents, and Escada). She’s flying through them, haha! I do feel lots of pressure once there are just a few wears left even when I adore the perfume I’ll spray a couple sprays on curtains or blankets to help finish them up. Ha!
Nasheet 🤔 that's the Ani dupe yes? Is it close? Oh wow, I bet she loves having those to spray! I can imagine the Ari ones being loved.
I know what you mean, I tend to hoard the last few sprays of the ones I really love, which is ridiculous, I don't know how long I held onto the last few ml of Glossier You, and I still have a spray or two left. But ones I don't love but still like, I tend to just finish. I think it's to try to justify my purchase of other fragrances 🙊 there's always another one to fill any space freed up 😂 thanks for watching 🥰
Hi Claire! Good job my friend, good job! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I may have finished one or two travel sprays… 😅😂 My storage for travel sprays has 30 spots so I need to work on these if I want to bring more in my collection. Some brands cant fit two bottles in one spot so I’m cheating a bit here. 🙃 I gave up the idea of finishing a full bottle. With about 200 bottles, I can’t see myself neglecting my collection to finish something in particular. What I have done lately is working on using the same perfume 2-3 nights a week after my shower. It gives me the impression that I’m making small dents. Slowly but surely… 😉 Sorry you broke your ankle. My son did too and it was a very boring summer… we had to cancel vacation plans. Hope yours healed faster! 😕 Have a great weekend! Xx
Yes Julie! It was incredibly annoying! I had 4 weeks holiday booked off from work and then poof, it was me sitting on a sofa for three and a half weeks. It's still not quite right now, over 3 months on! The ligament is the issue isn't it? More so than the bones sometimes... Yes I want to move towards smaller sizes. I tend to keep a bottle on my desk at work and also one for bed, mostly these ones were things that I wore at work though and needed refreshing as they didn't last all day. I have about 120 bottles right now and I don't want more than that ever so I'm trying to not buy very much. Hope you are well and that your son's ankle is getting better, how did he break his? I was just walking and I turned my ankle on a slight incline, and I heard the crack 🤦♀️ Thanks for watching 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume oh non… maybe you should have your ankle checked again… my son broke a tiny bone playing basketball. He landed on the side of his foot. Ooch! He had to wear a boot for 6 weeks… most boring summer ever worst than in the pandemic! 😂🤣😅
Yes me too, but the ligament is the bit that takes all the time to repair and needs all of the exercises to recover and that continues to ache. If it's still bad in January I'll go back, but the NHS here is a hot mess right now, you have to fight for everything. 🤦♀️
You’re my idol! The only things I’m finishing these days are samples and decants 😳 can also totally relate to finding “the one”….trying lately to revisit bottles I already own instead. It’s funny how sometimes they smell different than you remember them 🤷🏼♀️ great video Claire - you are always so thoughtful with your content!
Haha 😂 I know! I think breaking my ankle over the summer greatly increased my usage... I was just sitting around, planning videos and having spray parties 🤣
No idea what my feelings are with ckin2u her 🙃🤷♀️ I'm staying away now 😂
I want to reduce my collection so I can concentrate on wearing my loves. Sotd today is Kenzo Jungle. I've been decluttering a little so I hope that, along with finishing these ones, will help! Have a fab week Jill 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume spray parties - a great idea 💡💡. Kenzo Jungle L’elephant is one of my all time favorites 😘
It's gorgeous 🥰
Beautiful ❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
I recently finished a 30 ml nottle of Ragbha, and also a 30 ml bottle of Fancy. I already have a larger bottle of Ragbha and would be open to purchasing a new bottle of Fancy. Thanks for sharing your empties!
Thanks for watching ❤️ Ooh I've not tried Ragbha! I wore Ameer Al Oudh Intense yesterday. I'd recommend trying that one if you like nutty vanillas with a tiny bit of leather. 👌
I have Ameer al oud Intense and I do like it! Have you tried Ishq al Shuyukh Gold yet? If you like leather, I think you would really like that one! 😊
I've not, I did have sheikh al shuyukh luxe edition, is that a flanker of that one? I will look it up and see, thanks for the suggestion 🙂
Hi Claire ❤️
Great to see you moving through your perfume collection!!! 😍
Life's a bit short 😅 indeed!
Always looking for the one.. yes yes yes... Guilty.
I agree with you about Moschino Funny 💯❤
Accidental buys that turn out being a 💎👍 the best!
I was sad to see the end of Funny. It really was a nice affordable one. Thanks for watching 🥰
Hi, Claire. I recently finished Prada Candy,the first of them, second bottle. I always enjoyed it, but more like a skin scent on me, although I have read it is a projecting one. I decided not to repurchase it again, because I don’t want to overbuy, and like you feel there are others to try and enjoy. I did really find your clone video interesting. I bought upon Jeremy’s high recommendation the original Loverdose, a very tiny heart bottle. I enjoy it, but only feel like wearing it occasionally and at home. Gosh, there are a lot of perfumes that I don’t wear out of the house! Thank you for your videos!
Prada Candy is one I didn't smell in a while but someone told me that it smells very similar to Kenzo Flower L'elixir, I don't know though! It was really popular at one point I think. ☺️
I really used to love Loverdose, I wore that one a lot when I was younger. The liquorice was mmm and it was good for a fun night out, but perhaps not so much me now. I more often go for the loverdose tattoo flanker these days. Thanks for watching 🥰
Hi Claire, I Think you definitevily are the best perfume content creator on the Tube.
Let a long time, old perfume obsessed lady, make you compliments, and encourage you keep going the way you do!
Thank you ❤️ that's so so kind! I can assure you that I will! 🥰
Hi Dr. Claire. I'm just watching the video as im on vacation, but as always, you delivered. I haven't done much shopping this year for various reasons and only purchase those things I truly love. I've also been able to use more fragrances now that I work from home. I no longer keep things that don't bring me joy. I gift them and keep it moving.
I hope you are having a great time ❤️ enjoy yourself! Yes I think I need to declutter a little more. Making this video made me think about that again and I've passed on a few fragrances that weren't bringing me joy. I want to reduce my collection so I can focus on the ones that I love. Using these has helped but some of these might have been better decluttered also! Thanks for watching 🥰
I also like to keep a tiny amount for later reference of the ones that I like 😄 especially if I don't plan on rebuying
Yes 🙊 it's a strange habit! But it's useful to compare sometimes 😊 have a fab weekend 🥰
You always make such impressive progress utilizing your scents, I love seeing it! Loverdose I exiled to my "non-decuttler declutter box" to see if I really don't vibe with it, yet I do find it so pretty. I'm going to pull it out and see if my nose changed to it.
Pleats Please (I have the original I think, the orange one). I literally forgot about that. I remember the original being unique, as most isse Miyake.
Yes I really don't like paying postage, it bothers me. I will literally back out of an order sometimes just because of that 😂
I would love to try the original Pleats Please! It sounded like it would be interesting.
I think I should have just decluttered Loverdose red kiss but I was trying to see what other people seem to see in it. I didn't really get hazelnut or anything vaguely chocolatey 🤷♀️ I much prefer the other two Loverdose fragrances.
Crazy postage charges have stopped so many purchases for me! They probably save me a lot of money overall 🤣
I hate paying for postage too. Especially when the difference between paying it or getting another item is minimal. I have a few things I considered free as I would have paid the same price or more for shipping. There are also those that were "discounted" because I counted the cost of shipping against their total, lol. There is something so satisfying to see things used up! I love that you finished so many.
Yes postage or another items is sometimes a no brainer. I think when I bought that Jil Sander, it was £14 or postage was £5, so I chose the fragrance.
I am trying to reduce my collection, I'm at 120 and I want to be back around 100, but at least I don't want to accumulate any more bottles. I am currently decluttering a little too. I want to be able to reach for everything in my collection on a regular basis. ☺️
Hi Claire, thank you. I really enjoy your videos. There is a great balance between affordable and more expensive fragrances. I feel like my taste is similar to yours. I’m willing to try anything that’s affordable and there are many on my ‘to try’ list. I feel similarly about clones. I don’t have any yet and I’m not planning to seek out any (yet).
Thank you! Yes, I think most of my collection is very affordable, I tend to just sample most expensive fragrances because I don't really want a shelf of pricey ones that could potentially go off before I get to them. It takes a lot for me to decide to spend on pricier ones, I have to really really love them. At the moment I am trying to reduce the number of fragrances that I own by finishing a few to curate my collection right now. I would like to be under 100 bottles within the next year or so, but I don't know how achievable that is 🤣 thanks for watching 🥰
I love CK into you but I had to declutter it
It's a fragrance of split opinions for me 😂 who knows what was going on 😂
Hi Claire! Loverdose Red Kiss was a blind buy for me and it’s so addictive. I totally get how you went trough a bottle ❤️❤️
I think it was closer to half a bottle really, as I didn't buy it retail but a partial bottle, as I wasn't sure about it having tried it briefly in store. I am glad I tried it as I love the rest of the Loverdose line. ❤️
You're right, the Loverdose bottles are aesthetically pleasing. Very Rock chic 😂
They are very Avril Lavigne to me somehow 🤣 or maybe that's doing them an injustice? Perhaps more authentically Goth than that? 😂
Exactly! You nailed it. Avril is a perfect representation. In fact she would have made a good face of the brand. Those were good times indeed. Have a lovely week!
Thank you! You too!
I suspect I'm not fond of peach in perfumes nor candles, but oh so tasty! 😋
Same most of the time! I love the fruit! 🥰
Hi Claire ❤ same thoughts on Red kiss, no Nutella whatsoever 😢
Yeah, people clearly have very different noses to me 😂 I kept wanting to smell it!
I've never tried a single Diesel fragrance 🙃 Love the bottles
I think you'd love the purple one 😊 if you want a sample, just message me on Instagram, I can send you one @bowccl
Hi Claire.
I’m not in any danger of emptying a fragrance any time soon!😂😂😂 And I apply perfume at least 3 times a day, even when I don’t wear makeup! Can’t get enough….
I haven’t tried any of the fragrances you mentioned….but I’m always listening…😊
Isn’t it strange that we’ll often spend more money in order to avoid shipping???😂😂
Haha yes! I feel like free delivery thresholds are a great selling tool. 🤣
I take my perfume to work if I know it won't last all day and I tend to reapply, so I'm with you. I'd say I sometimes apply up to 5 times if it's a light one!
I am not sad to see most of these go actually. I would like to reduce the size of my collection so I can use all of them more regularly as some are not getting much love at all right now. I want to get from about 120 to about 100. Thanks for watching 🥰
Hi Dr. Smith 🌹
I've been meaning to mention that watching your videos with the designated chapters is so appreciated 😊.
I thought I was in the minority regarding repurchasing the same fragrances. I have a small collection, and I look forward to trying new perfumes. I have a few rebuys, but not many.
In particular, I will zip through KK PURE HONEY, but I over spray on skin and clothing.
It's my pm scent, most nights. I just never tire of it and for less than $16 USD (100ml) it's feasible to buy frequently.
I'm waiting for my complete order of fragrances for Christmas. I will open the day of; I love being surprised. All BB's, however, and something I rarely do, but feel confident in my choices.
They are; Molinard Musc (I own Vanilla Fruitee and love).
Yes I am *Pink
Carven Body Lotion,
plus another bottle of Pure Honey.
Are you planning on a special perfume purchase by years end, something you've been wanting to try and it's now time?
Francine
Hi Francine! Yes I've always wanted to try Pure Honey, people seem to love that one. It's hard to find here.
Molinard are so reasonably priced for how nice they are. I've not tried the yes I am pink.
I think I'm on a no buy for the rest of the year now as I totted up what's come into my collection this year and it's so far 53(?) or so fragrances! I guess my end if year surprise will be that I won a competition and I'm waiting for my bottle to arrive, but it's been about 3 months so far 🤦♀️ but I'm wondering whether I will like it or not! It's a Robert Piguet fragrance 🙂 I hope it will be here before Christmas! Thanks for watching 🥰
I have a problem with finishing things like perfumes, body mists, lotions. I will use it up, but wont let myself finish before I buy a new products.
I always have a list of new fragrances that I want, so I tend to just move onto those. Do you buy different things or do you mean replacing stuff that you love with exactly the same thing as you don't want to be without it?
Thanks for another great video Claire. My recent empties are Oud Mood by Lattafa, Versace Eros pour femme and jimmy choo blossom. I already had back up bottles long before they were done. The CK fragrance you emptied was one I had to declutter for the reasons you gave for getting rid of your first bottle. Thanks again for another great video.
Hi Jenna, I almost bought oud mood, I wish I'd tried that now, I bought sheikh al shuyukh luxe edition instead as that was supposed to be similar to oud mood I think 🤔 lots of people seem to love Eros, do you have the EDP or the EDT?
I don't understand that CK fragrance. How can I hate one bottle of it and like the other? I just don't get it... Thanks for watching 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume I have sheikh al shuyukh also. Oud Mood smells similar but is lighter and smoother. To me is calming. I use Eros edp. I look forward to your next video
Thank you! Yes I found Sheikh al shuyukh a bit screechy at the beginning but the drydown was ok, it just took a long time to get there! 😂
Well yes that Glossier was one you were fond of. And it shows you using it all.
The Loverdose was pleasant but probably not for me. Its one of them ranges that definitely makes me think of you. The bottle is very cool 😜.
Oh yes u did quite like the white peach weirdly and so much u work all of it 😱 well done.
Tropical is very much needed during all this grey misery at the moment.
I've not connected with any moschinos yet. They are loved aren't they.
The sjp bottle has a pretty lid. And for £8 wow
Aw yes ur poor ankle. I can imagine that was such a long summer. And yes it's interesting you really enjoyed that bottle. It did sound pleasant.
Well done to such a small "clone" brand renaming a fragrance. That is actually impressive, big brands seem to struggle with moving with the times. Cherry does seem to be much better in modern times, older perfumery it wasn't the best was it. It clearly impressed everyone 😉. Why isn't there a cherry bakewell Ameretto? I think you should pitch it to a supermarket knock off version.
The Issey M sounded OK actually and Julija is fab and very very missed.
Yes paying postage is like passing glass for me. Not only when we spend a fortune which most of it is profit for them should we be paying postage (unless indie) but also... What postage exactly? It takes them days to post it then practically every post "service" would be a disgrace in 2800BC they are that useless slow and pointless. Especially a company that is allowed to be called Royal 🙄 I suppose it's as useful and as much as a rip off as they are...
I am not a fan of empties videos. But if everyone did them like you I'd watch more. You really do proper justice and explain your experience... Not that empties are common in this new influencer world, I mean why use a fragrance like you're actually passionate and enjoy them when u can flog something you got for free 😉 ah the modern world.
Anyways, yes the first video of yours I ever watched was an empties and was forever hooked after. Never have I seen so much detail and methodology. You're truly one of the best.
I've not had an empty since like 2012 😂
LOL yes, SJP Covet Pure Bloom does indeed have a pretty lid 😉 how polite 😂
The ckin2u her I almost just dismissed. I'm glad I retried it. There wasn't a lot in that bottle, maybe 10ml, not enough to get tired of it with how long it seems to last. I like the opening really. That's the nice interesting citrussy bit.
Yes hats off to Dossier for getting rid of the O word, why every other brand doesn't I've no idea. 🤷♀️
You can help me pitch a Mr Kipling mash up line of naughty booze based line of adult cakes and pastries. I think we'd have a hit on our hands. 😉
Yes I miss Julija too!
I think postage most irked me with the horrendous Soki fragrance. I begrudged £5 being spent on that sample and the £2.99 postage when it cost 85p to send those. It's not like the envelopes were gold.
No I get it 😂 declutters where you are really debating whether it was ever sprayed are mostly the thing but it's views I guess 🤷♀️ and yes reselling of gifted one is definitely a thing.
Haha, I try not to be forensic but I think it's inbuilt sometimes. It just happens 🤷♀️ thanks for watching 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume it's a great trait to have. An eye for all that detail.
Yes I don't understand why postage is so dishonest and they make up these prices... Just make ur product more for your profit. We all know how much it costs to send stuff. I mean that post profit could have paid for some labels 🙄
🙊🤣 yes...
Hi, Claire, wondering if you could please explain the terms top notes, middle notes, base notes, and dry down? When do this notes in each perfume typically appear? It can be in a video sometime, need not be a personal response. Thank you. Take care.
In theory the notes should be more prominent in order but in my experience that is rarely the case, people give rough timings of first 20 mins, an hour in and two hours but that's rarely something you can pinpoint, so I find it unhelpful. I guess it's mostly referring to the size of the fragrance molecule for each note/ accord and its relative volatility, with lighter smaller molecules being those at the top and heavier less volatile, larger molecules at the base. The drydown is the lasting impression of the fragrance, at the point it becomes linear, i.e. when it no longer changes as to which notes are most prominent. You might be interested in my video about why fragrances smell different on different people as this is peripherally and partially covered there. 🥰
Claire baby You are so sweet, my love, in every time zone. May 2024 be with your unique and beautiful soul.
Thanks for watching 🥰
I think I must’ve gotten the good batch of CK In2U lol 😂 (my batch code is 0029, date of manufacture is 29th of January 2020) I do really love it, it reminds me slightly of Trussardi Donna 💛
Aah, I didn't try Donna, it got so much hype last year though, I kept reading the notes and wondering whether I'd like it! Did you get the EDP or the EDT? The CK was a real mystery. The first batch seemed unbearable to me, so I was really shocked when I tried the second bottle and liked it 🤣 🤷♀️
@@dr.claire.perfume I have the EDP! Totally beautiful in my opinion! 😍 I have a video in my watch later playlist that compares the EDP, the EDT and apparently there is an intense version as well in one of those greyhound bottles! I believe it is Maria Collett who did the video maybe last year and I just ran across it recently, looking forward to watching that.
Aah ok, yes Maria has everything to compare there! I think Paola bianka did a comparison of the EDP and the EDT too if I remember rightly 🤔
I was very happy to buy Meugler goddess, but the dry down smelled like moldy oranges. I had to return it.
Oh! No one wants to smell of that 😂
I constantly find the one… then the next one and next one…. Lol I’m a junkie 😂
Aren't we all in some way? I love sampling. I don't buy much, because I rarely love something, but I'm always searching for the ultimate forever fragrance. ☺️
Olá vim pela minha amiga Vericit porque temos o mesmo em comum nesse cantinho perfumado. Costumo deixar o perfume de castigo pra depois de um tempo a ficção melhor, creio por conta da concentração da baunilha melhora... Fragrâncias frescas pra o calorão é gratificante demais ❤️ Tenho alguns perfumes celebridades que amo . Muito gostoso perfumes lactonico, cremoso e com frutado enta... É tão ruim quando as marcas descontinuado as fragrâncias. Um forte abraço perfumada 🌹🩷
Thank you! Yes she is very friendly, welcoming and kind 🙂 I agree, leaving some fragrances to sit for a while can improve them. Thanks for watching 🥰
Try the new prada perfume ❤ it’s amazing
Do you mean the intense? 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume no Paradoxe ❤️
Oh original Paradoxe! Yes I reviewed it maybe a year ago I think 🤔
Prada Paradox Intense is much better than the OG.
You managed to empty an impressive amount of fragrances ❤ curious about the majority you listed in this video, as they seem interesting, just hard to find here. 😂
Thanks! I think quite a few are discontinued. Most of these were my early purchases when I started collecting fragrances, so they will be from 2020 or earlier. I'm happy to move on from most of these. I think my tastes have evolved. Thanks for watching and have a fab week 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume it is so interesting to see how our taste and preferences for fragrances changes over time. We end up loving some that we disliked before and the other way around. Thanks for sharing once again and wishing you as well an amazing week 🤩
You too! Thank you 🥰
Hi Claire! I don't think I'm anywhere near finishing a bottle at the moment... I've made a good dent in Lovely. My 50ml is half empty... A few of my favorite fragrances have dents... I try to buy mostly 30 and 50ml to avoid them going bad eventually.
Oh yes lovely is a very long lasting fragrance, I wore mine mostly to bed as I found it clean and relaxing, but I could nearly always still smell it in the morning! I think I have learnt that I don't need a full bottle of anything now! I have way too much! I would like to downsize my collection a little so I can enjoy each fragrance a little more. 120 is too many, 100 is my target right now, but yes, smaller bottles is the way forward for me 🙂 hope you have a lovely weekend! Thanks for watching 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume I totally understand... My goal in 2024 will be to curate, sample, downsize...
🙌 yes!!!
Hi Claire, lovely to see a new video from you. I’m not gonna lie, I used up my CKintoU as a bathroom freshener because unfortunately to me it smells exactly like cleaning supplies. It’s not a good fragrance. I suspects I got a bad batch like you did with your first bottle.
Thank you! ❤️ Yes! 😂 It's the most confusing experience I've ever had with a fragrance, the first one I absolutely despised, couldn't wait to declutter it, the second bottle, which actually didn't have much left when I acquired it by accident 😂 was definitely the same fragrance but just without that weird latex feel. I have no idea what was going on. Anyway, I'm not buying any more but I'm so confused!!!
I also finished a whole 100 ml bottle this year. It was my husband's favourite, but I personally was showering myself in it so that I could get it out of my collection faster 😅
Weird isn't it? People perceive things really differently but I guess proximity to the fragrance will also affect perceptions 🤷♀️ I couldn't stand it first time around 🤣
@@dr.claire.perfume yes, I guess its sillage smells really nice
👍
Unfortunately Glossier You gives me a headache. I do like the scent but tried it in 2019 and again this year and there’s something cloying about the musk that won’t go away. I do get the pencil shavings with it but it dries down on me to a too strong musk. I found Kayali Musk 12 and love it so much more, sweeter and lighter with no headache.
Yes Kayali Musk is very light and pretty, it makes me think of a ballerina. Glossier you is more like a grungy but minimalist art student. I heard Kayali Musk is discontinued, I'm hoping it's not true. 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfumeevery time I use Musk 12 now I think of this comment and giggle. Now I do feel like a ballerina wearing it! Beautifully said and spot on. 😂 As a lover of women’s history with a background in cosmetic chem, I really enjoy your channel! ❤
Thank you! That does sound like a very interesting mix. I wish I knew more about cosmetics chemistry! It's so interesting ☺️
😍
Thank you 🥰 hope you are well!
I hate pay for shipping too 😂
It's a pet hate! I will avoid shipping costs if at all possible and it's even put me off some purchases in the past. They probably save me money afterall 😂
@@dr.claire.perfume it’s funny how we pay for shipping but we will pay for the product 😂
I know! It's in the charge somewhere 😂
Way to go Claire! It’s great to see how many empties you have! I haven’t finished any of mine yet. I’m trying 😅 🫶🫶
Thanks, I actually finished another one this week 😂 be a while before I make another empties video though. Thanks for watching, have a fab Sunday 🥰
