I really appreciated your honest review. I am kind of sick and tired of so many TH-cam frag reviewers singing high praise to every single scent they talk about. Not sure if it’s PR or a desire to attract more sponsors, but it gets old and reviewers like that lose value, IMO. I think it’s quite refreshing when you hear honest negative or “meh” responses to a scent, it helps put things in perspective. Everything cannot always be 100% amazing and gorgeous and holy grail 🤦🏼♀️🙄 Thank you for being honest with your opinions. I am waiting on my samples, pretty sure at this point I will most likely enjoy Frustration, but after watching your video, I want to try all the others from the same line 😀
I created my channel to exchange with people about fragrances. I have no interest in having people buy something they would regret. I'm a fragrance geek but also a consumer myself. (I rarely accept PR. The only condition is if it is already on my wishlist or something I would wear, and of course if I can share my honest opinion on it. But samples are 100% welcome 😊) We have also to consider that taste in fragrances is something very subjective and personal. I could love something that someone hates or vice versa 😉 The reality of it is that when you say that you don't like a fragrance, some people who loves it may feel offended and dislike the video. So you're loosing visibility. This is not my job so I don't mind, but YT is some people main job so they may be afraid to loose money if they are too brutally honest 😅
Which one has more vanilla ?! Frustration vs soul of my soul?!!! I found those two on an awesome prices, especially soul of my soul 75$ 🙈!! but I really can’t decide between both, I am looking for vanillc sophisticated one not sample or only forward vanilla, hopefully you get what I mean, thank you
I get more vanilla from Frustration than from Soul of my soul. After that it depends if you prefer something more gourmand with this chestnut note (Frustration) or suede and iris (Soul of my Soul). I love both but people around me seem to enjoy Frustration. It's always funny when people ask me what I'm wearing and I say Frustration. They think it's a joke and that I don't want to tell me the real name of the fragrance 😂 Well, I hope it was useful 😄
The presentation is really lovely! I have a few ELDO samples, and a small bottle of "She Was an Anomaly," but I don't wear them that often. Sometimes they just don't smell that great on me, not sure why. Thank you for sharing these new scents!
The only one I have from their regular collection is You or someone like you. Some of their other fragrances smell a bit metallic on me. Don't know why either. But I got no issue with these ones 😊
Hello Karine, I enjoyed hearing your thoughts about the Etat libre d'Orange fragrances you have. I haven't sampled the brand yet but I find you have an excellent nose and I appreciate your opinions on fragrances. I think this will help me when I get the chance to try some from this house. Perhaps in the new year. It's going to be difficult to choose which to begin with. Thanks for your video, it's always nice to see them come from your channel. Have a good day! - Jenn
I love creamy chestnut, great for this time of year, really cosy and comforting! I've not tried any ELDO other than you or someone like you which sounds a very different vibe to this line. 😂
Hello Claire ! Yes indeed, I also have You or someone like you and it's more a green and fresh fragrance for Spring / Summer. This range is a bit louder. I think you might enjoy Frustration then 😉
Well me and chestnut aren't really lovers. But I can see why you like it. And come on plenty of people seem to wear sweat 🤣 they must sell bottles of it somewhere. What a shame about the mirror being ruined on the peppery one. It does sound extremely spicy. The rose one, maybe maybe not. I don't know with roses. But it sounds interesting again. Yea we can't love them all, another with sweat. Soul of my soul did sound very lovely. Sister soul is still very poetic 😜. Love a a softer tender one Great video, good to see u back 🙂
Why do they have to put cumin everywhere ? 😆 Yeah postmen here are a bit stubborn to make any package enter my mailbox even when it's too big to fit and written fragile on it 😅 When I saw what the parcel looked like I prayed for the bottle 😱
I absolutely love the cinnamon and chestnut, vetiver with the smoky woody coming through. The price is just way up for me would have to wait for sales. The silage was moderate for me however I enjoyed the fragrance
Indeed, the full price here is about 210€. I bought mine brand new from someone who didn't want it at a reasonnable price. Otherwise, I noticed that you can find the other ones around 150€ sometimes less online.
@@OlfactiveStories in the UK its £215 and conversion rate will give it around £247 euros. I am definitely going to wait for sales because your review definitely sold it for me. Its a must have from your review. thanks a lot
Oh dear … how slow am I to realise that it’s not an extraordinarily good orange fragrance. Here I was thinking that they released a collection centred around orange 😂. Hmmm, I don’t think that this collection was made for me.
Hi Andreas, haha indeed this is not about orange (as a note) but as the brand is named État libre d'orange, I guess it's a way to say this is their "private" collection. Not sure it will be your taste too. But you never know 😉 If you enjoy Halfeti, you can still give them a try. Especially Spice must flow 😊
@@OlfactiveStories I think I might have a sample of that one … somewhere. I actually wore Tom of Finland this week which made me feel like a “real” man 😂. I truly love You or someone like you and, of course, one day I need to get Herman à mes côtés me paraissait une ombre (just because of the name; I’ll be wearing it until someone asks me what I am wearing!)

Hello Jenn ! I ordered their sample pack (with all their older ones) but I know their also have a sample pack with this range only 😉

I just subscribed to your channel wish you all the best I'm a collector and an aspiring future content creator.
Oh thank you and welcome !
Tell me when you create your channel 😉

It stinks like sweat!
@@kerenshulman4910 😂😂😂 Yeah cumin is not my favourite note either ... too close to body odour 😆
