A completely non judgemental comment. Please don't blind buy perfume. I used to blind buy perfume because I was like "Hey, I like the notes in this perfume, I'll most likely like this perfume." And blind buy I would. You get a high off of buying perfume, like I did too. But let me tell you, many a blind buy and return walk of shame later, I have discovered the beauty of eBay and mercari. Buy partial bottles, buy 1.2 ml samples, but whatever you do don't blind buy unless you get a screaming deal. Save your hard earned 💰. I finally broke the habit of blind buying, I really recommend you do too.
I love the EDT of Champs Elysee, where did you get the EDT from, it is really hard to find now, i am in love with that one for many years! the EDP is different, not as airy as the EDT
The Insolence EDT is way sweeter and hard to wear compared with the EDP which is powdery but in a cashmere calming way rather then sickening sweet. I love EDP and can't wear the EDT, so might be worth it to try the EDP, in the fall/winter/cold season for sure.
the Moschino that is similar with Light blue is called I love love, it is orange head, it is very much light blue 100% i had it 3-4 times 100 ml bottles. I
I bought insolence EDT based on the hype from other youtubers as well, and I think it's beautiful - but I really don't wear it. It doesn't fit for me anywhere in my life - I just sniff it from time to time and appreciate it for what it is, and of course the lovely bottle. I won't lie - I mostly bought it for the bottle lol. :)
A lot of the Guerlain perfumes TH-camrs rave about I don’t like either. I don’t own many from the House. Chanel on the other hand, I tend to love everything they do! You could resell some of these perfumes you didn’t like maybe?
I've had this video saved on my watch later for a while. Im half way through and I subscribed. What you're saying about scents reminds me of myself and I love finding like minded fragrance people Yayyy💓
I just bought Champs Elysees edp because of your review. I like it but I love Idylle edp more. If you like Champs Elysees I am sure you will also like Lady Caron edp. It’s lovely
Yes, I have been doing some on line perfume shopping, despite the fact I have already so many, can't help myself. I also bought Alien Sublime, really like that one, perfect for summer, and I have been thinking to buy Guerlain Black perfecto and Lalique le parfum.....
I think you got the wrong moschino perfume the one that’s a dupe for light blue it’s called cheap and chic I love love! Or try mandarina duck cute blue now that’s an almost identical dupe to light blue intence !its brand made in Spain 🇪🇸
Insolence has to grow on you. I despised it at first, threw it in a box for a year and forgot about it. I tried it again a couple months ago and fell in love with it. The one I know I will never ever like is Samsara. I just do not get that one and no matter how much I try to like it I just can't.
I picked up Insolence as a blind by as well! Couldn't stand it at first, but it was like a train wreck and I kept going back to sniff it again. It's growing on me and you have to admit-- it's different! I think I'm going to take your recommendation on the Lalique La Parfum !
Hi Amanda! I’m late to the party, but I just found you on TH-cam. Thank you for sharing with us! I just got insolence and I agree it’s a tough blind buy. Everyone described it spot on, yet somehow I wasn’t prepared for what I was smelling... I’ve heard it’s better in the colder months so I’ll test it on a sweater come September/October and try to give it its day in the sun.. I give it points for uniqueness! Ps- I also got Lalique amethyst and like it a lot!!
Hello Amanda! I am a huge fan of Guerlain. I recommend you to try the edp on those perfumes, the version edp is totally different than the edt. I love Insolence but only edp and Idyle only edp version.
I love Alien. The first time I wore it, I sprayed one spray and ran some errands. I had two people ask me what I was wearing and they loved it. It lasts for 7-8 hours on me.
Amanda, I just filmed a video and mentioned you because I blind bought Amethyst because you recommended it - and it is amazing! Guerlain Insolense is on my wish list, too bad it did not work for you, but yes the bottle is so pretty, will be wonderful to display! Great haul!
Your videos are such a welcome distraction right now. It's so nice to see hauls. Would you ever consider selling your unwanted bottles on Mercari? It's an app I've had good luck with.
Yes Thomas is my favourite fragrance reviewer, he is the reason I really got into fragrance! I'm also really enjoying your chanal ,love how you review your fragrances, I have bought molecule 01 and quelques fleurs because of you and I love them thank you x
Hi Amanda, I caved and purchased both of the Aliens you mentioned from FragranceNet. I also took advantage of Nordstrom’s 25% off sale and purchased the travel size Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge and Chanel Coco Noir. I love all of the perfumes I received however I don’t want to wear them and have quarantine memories tied to them. The next fragrances I’ll be hunting are Lalique Amethyst, Chanel Beige, and Maison Margiela Untitled.
I have champs elisees in the bee bottle and I had the old bottle and I 'm telling you is the same composition loove it ! Guerlain is my number one house ! I want to try mugler eau sublime ! Great video !
Hi Amanda , ouch 1 10 perfume loves Samsara have you ever tried that one? I’ve been wanting to try the exact Guerlains you purchased. I can’t wait to try them. One more I’m wondering about is La petite robe noire, have you tried this one also? I told myself I would not order any perfume with the things going on but I may not be able to do that much longer... thanks for your honest opinions and keep shopping and stay safe!
I’ve been avoiding Alien since it seems to be so polarizing. I received a small sample recently and tested it on paper last night and LOVED it. Tried on skin this morning and have been in love ever since. Except to my surprise, I looked more closely at the sample just now and it is Alien Eau Sublime!!! Will definitely be picking up a full bottle soon, it’s rare that something is love at first sniff for me. Now I still have to get my nose on original Alien, but Eau Sublime has already stolen my heart. ❤️
I just did a Lalique haul as well! I have all the ones you got. Still waiting on Satine and Le Parfum to arrive. You are right, Lalique by Lalique is very nineties. I love it though. I also have Amethyst (all 3), Perles, Living and Nilang. Great job. The other ones in my haul are Molecule 01, Elie Saab resort (blue and red). Can't wait for them to arrive. I have all those classic Guerlain but truth be told, I just collect them. I don't really reach for them.
Hey Amanda, I took your advise on Lalique Amethyst and I loved it.. so I went ahead yesterday and ordered both of the Lalique’s per your recommendation. I hope they know how much your word of mouth has helped perfume junkies find this perfume house. I will let you know when they come in. I just couldn’t help myself. Lol... been cooped up in the house far to long... I also ordered Mouboussin L’elixer. Have you tried this one? Next in my perfume bucket list will be samsara and champs by Guerlain. Keep the videos coming. Always love to hear your interpretations on these beautiful perfumes. Have a good safe day!
Good morning Amanda, I hope you are doing well.... I just received my Lalique’s and I love them both.. the bottles are beautiful and like I’ve seen many posts you could use them as a weapon lol....also I wanted to let you know I also received mouboussin elixir pour Elle and I love it also. It does remind me of La Vie EST Belle however it’s not as powdery and I think I may like it better. It also has a cool bottle that you do physical harm with .. just kidding but I’m really happy I listened to you. Have a good day and can’t wait for the next video. Stay safe!
I just ordered 8 perfumes today, between FragranceNet and Mercari, and one of them was Lalique Amethyst! I’ve been wondering about the other Laliques, so I’ve added the two you like to my wishlist. :) I don’t like Insolence, either, while I wish I did. :( The Moschino you might have meant to buy was “I Love Love” (blue bottle). ;)
Loooove Champs Ellysee, my grandmother had a mimosa tree here in Central Texas. The scent takes me straight back... I have the EDP in the bee bottle and the longevity is poor. Nevertheless, I love it.
Was already close to buying Lalique Le Parfum but didn’t, now after your review I will surely get it ! Can so relate to your failed non-buy...the way I see it: I take little breaks just because I don t want to feel overwhelmed but then I need new juice as a real addict otherwise it gets boring doesn t it ? I try to balance it out by getting rid of a few perfumes or buying decants from the start...please keep on trying out new perfumes ! I just so appreciate that you buy perfumes for your private pleasure and don t present the same perfumes for publicity reasons like so many other youtubers...you are just like me wanting to get the best ones for your bucks...all the best to you ! 😘
Guerlain l’instant is pictured as “My Signature Scent” by so many members on Fragrantica. I read every single comment and was so confident to blind buy it. I did the same with Guerlain Insolence almost a year ago based on all the love. I felt the same way as you. I guess I find all violet scents smell alike, and I thought Insolence would somehow smell completely different. The l’Instant is nice, but smells like some of my powdery scents from Oscar de la Renta.
I am currently waiting for two packages (6perfumes) from FragranceBuy and fragrancenet still hasn’t arrived 😓anyway now I want to order guerlain champs élysées
Lalique have great fragrances. I recommend you to try Perles the Lalique. So unique smell. Btw Lalique Lamour to me smell same as Versace Versence ;) Great video
Perles are a gem! I've got it instantly once I read somewhere that it is similar to discontinued Midnight Poison by Dior. Been looking for a dupe of that one for ages. Perles by Lalique do smell REALLY similar to Midnight Poison on the dry down. 1st blast it is nothing alike though. And the longivety are excellent. Now I probably get the L'amour as well because I've been eyeing that versense from Versace for a while.
Ellisa Vitulli I got the body mist Kaleidoscope from bath n body. Yes it smells exactly like you from glossier but in my opinion a lil better unfortunately it’s discontinued but I ordered 3 of them from eBay. Love love this sent
Love your videos! You could list the fragrances that didn’t work for you on ebay or poshmark and maybe someone else might like it and it wouldn’t be a waste :)
My name is Amanda too and I do the same thing as you, I can't resist. I blind buy after going on you tube and fragrantica , I have hundreds, I really have an addiction. Must be an Amanda thing 🥰
I don't like insolence even though I tried. I have Alien Fusion, and that is good. I have several fragrances I'd like to purchase, and they are Libre, Angel EDT, Oud Bouquet and others.
I always use a 37% off code on fragrancenet I blind bought insolence EDT and I was not impressed I got the bee bottle version and it lasted about three hours. It was a very pretty Berry and sugared violets smell but it did not last.
Loved this video!!! Guerlain Insolence is a weird one.... my friend from France wears it and it’s her signature, when I first met her I HATED the smell, then it started to grow on me, it was so distinct I’d never smelled anyone so perfumed before 😂😂 now every time I visit her she smells like insolence and it’s so beautiful to me now, I own the EDT and EDP, and wear only 2 sprays. I wish I received more compliments on it but I don’t, and I’m a sucker for compliments so I don’t reach for it much.
Have you ever smelled La Mia Perla?? If not please get it. The bottle is amazing and so is the juice! I always say if angels had a smell, that’s how they will smell😍😍😍
Funny Story- I have blind bought quite a few based on various youtuber reviews -- and only a couple have been "duds" in my opinion (-I don't care for Pink Sugar - I know everyone else DOES-and Jessica Simpson Fancy didn't WOW me. They are okay but not my favs).I bought Lalique Amethyst because of you and I was happy with it so when I watched this review and heard how much you LOVED Lalique Lamour I bought it. After I bought it in anticipation for its arrival I went on Fragrantica and other sites to do more research and heard such HORRIBLE reviews...one even said the beginning made her want to vomit?the more reviews I read the more polarizing they were- Love or HATE. So...it just arrived --and I thought "moment of truth" -- I opened up the box (gorgeous bottle) and sprayed---its PRETTY!!!!! Thank Goodness!!!!! I have NO IDEA what the extreme negative reviews were all about. Even if you didn't think it was your type of perfume it is NOT HORRIBLE in any way! It's LOVELY. I keep smelling the card and I have no idea how to describe it but it is PRETTY. Whew. SO RELIEVED. lol. Just goes to show you that reviews are all based on individual preferences. One mans "trash" may be your "treasure"! Thanks for the suggestion! I so want to try champs but I noticed you got the toilette? and was wondering why not the parfum? Im always afraid of weak sillage and longevity (which is info I appreciate in reviews) so I always go for the parfum thinking it is the best of those categories. Anyway, I could only get one and you said Lamour was your favorite and I am sooooo glad I got it. Thanks! I like/wear-- Jadore, Bronze Goddess, Burberry Her Intense, Pure Poison, Hypnotic Poison, Olympea, Versace Bright Crystal Absolu, Girl of Now, Organza Indecence, Vince Camuto Amore,Lalique Amethyst, No 3 Limperatrice, Be Delicious, Angel Muse, Fancy Love,Red Door........Lalique Lamour!
@@blueandlucky000 Yes! I am saving it right now because for me it seems more of a fall/winter perfume, I like citrusy/bright/floral/fruity for spring or summer....Amethyst feels warm and cozy (to ME )rather than "bright"....but i find myself sniffing the bottle every now and then just to smell it because it is so pretty. lol. Is that weird? wink. On one hand I worry about blind buying because I need to watch my money, and I hate the risk. However, on the other hand, if not for reviewers like you I would never hear of most of these wonderful perfumes let alone be able to "sample" them as most of these are not found in stores and/or "samples" not available or easy to find. Good reviewers like you help us make the most educated purchase possible when literally smelling a perfume first is not an option. Thanks again.
Great video ! Giving me the urge to splurge ! I have Insolence as well it’s very very very powdery to me so I have to be in the mood to wear it because I have put it on before and it’s given me a headache - but hey the bottle is super cute 🙂
I’ve been buying from Fragrancenet for 20 years. They only take returns if they are unopened so you can’t open, spray, decide you don’t like it and return. To be honest, I don’t know why they offer returns since you basically can’t😳🤔🙄😏
Hi Amanda! I also love Kaleidoscope! My question is do you think Lalique Le Parfum is unisex enough that a guy can wear it? Love your videos and the eloquent way you describe your fragrances.
P J Freeman On the same boat. Just write them an email and they will give you an extra 10% off. They did it with my order. I’m still waiting for mine as well.
Melinda Torres Hi. Thanks for your comment. It’s already been charged to my credit card, so is the 10% off on future orders? It will be in the low 80s today and I’m concerned about the effect of the heat on the perfume. Will just have to wait and see. Take care.
P J Freeman if they already said it’s shipped then I don’t think so. But you can always give them feedback about your concerns and they should give you at least a discount. I’m in Ny and still haven’t received my package. It says it finally shipped so I should receive it on Friday. The post office hasn’t really been delivering packages around my area. All we can do is wait and see and be patient of course.
Jajaja oh dear Amanda you don´t have to excuse yourself....it´s more than normal I´m in this Facebook group of Frag Collectors (Ouch110´s Smelly Friends" ) and everybody is doing what makes them happy, continue collecting fragrances jajaja....it is what makes us kind of have a little peace of mind of being back to the "normality" when we are not at all living normal lives....anyway....I also ordered many because they are cheap here in Europe at the moment and also % almost half price for Givenchy Very Irresistible EDP, and all the Givenchy Irresistible line was half price, the Guerlains Aqua line too, I don´t know why....I also got Olympea EDP and the Intense, Fendi Furiosa EDP, Repetto EDT, Chloe Nomade, Elie Saab Forever and M.Jacobs Daisy Love....I have 2 more that I am thinking about Alien Extraordinaire but just the refill, I dont have the bottle but actually kind of don´t need it, just maybe get a spray and have it in my purse.....and last one is Roberto Cavalli Gemma di Paradiso.....and I think I will really stop there....I do not need more really I have like more than 50....LOL!!!
Amanda Loves Perfume and Books! Oh 😮 you should join his Facebook page “ Ouch110’s Smelly Friends” I love Thomas he is such a sweetheart and he is by far my fave, he has tons of knowledge and describes so well notes and fragrances, I really trust his recommendations, always!
Well done Amanda! It is very difficult to ignore a bargain, especially on fragrances you have wanted. You only cheated because of the extreme value! :0)
A completely non judgemental comment.
Please don't blind buy perfume. I used to blind buy perfume because I was like "Hey, I like the notes in this perfume, I'll most likely like this perfume." And blind buy I would. You get a high off of buying perfume, like I did too.
But let me tell you, many a blind buy and return walk of shame later, I have discovered the beauty of eBay and mercari.
Buy partial bottles, buy 1.2 ml samples, but whatever you do don't blind buy unless you get a screaming deal. Save your hard earned 💰. I finally broke the habit of blind buying, I really recommend you do too.
I love the EDT of Champs Elysee, where did you get the EDT from, it is really hard to find now, i am in love with that one for many years! the EDP is different, not as airy as the EDT

SAAAAME!
I don't if it is true but the one that smell like D&G Light Blue is " Love Love" from Moschino, is a blue bottle,
EL. VD
Midnight amber Oscar de la renta is smells like D& G light blue tray it
It is true about Moschino I love love, but cheaper with better lasting power
Yes it's this one
I just ordered lolique perfumes! Love it!!!
A lot of the Guerlain perfumes TH-camrs rave about I don’t like either. I don’t own many from the House. Chanel on the other hand, I tend to love everything they do! You could resell some of these perfumes you didn’t like maybe?
I just did my blind buy last night!!!!!! I got le petit robe noire perfume
I've had this video saved on my watch later for a while. Im half way through and I subscribed. What you're saying about scents reminds me of myself and I love finding like minded fragrance people Yayyy💓
adoRebelstyle yay!!!! So glad u are here !! 😘
That Lalique one has me interested since I love aldehydes. My favorite type is chypre.
I adore Insolence. 🥰
I just bought Champs Elysees edp because of your review. I like it but I love Idylle edp more. If you like Champs Elysees I am sure you will also like Lady Caron edp. It’s lovely
Yes, I have been doing some on line perfume shopping, despite the fact I have already so many, can't help myself. I also bought Alien Sublime, really like that one, perfect for summer, and I have been thinking to buy Guerlain Black perfecto and Lalique le parfum.....
I think you got the wrong moschino perfume the one that’s a dupe for light blue it’s called cheap and chic I love love! Or try mandarina duck cute blue now that’s an almost identical dupe to light blue intence !its brand made in Spain 🇪🇸
thx!
If you like light blue you will like I love love by moschino. Great summer scent.
Yes, she got the wrong one. The one that is similar to Light Blue is the I Love Moschino Cheap and Chic. Nice haul!! :)
Yup - I have “I love love” and it’s a sweeter Light Blue with WAY better longevity.
Is it Mandarina Duck Cute Blue or Pink that's a dupe for Light Blue Intense?
Love your style of reviewing (love how you reference 'similar' fragrances, you make it so much easier for us)
MissDoll Wonderland 🥰🥰🥰
Exactly Right! i like how u referenced as in "chance eau tendre mixed with yellow diamond".....i totally get it.
Tom from ouch110, yes love his reviews have been watching him pretty much from the start.
Insolence has to grow on you. I despised it at first, threw it in a box for a year and forgot about it. I tried it again a couple months ago and fell in love with it.
The one I know I will never ever like is Samsara. I just do not get that one and no matter how much I try to like it I just can't.
Samsara-me too🙁. Love the house of Guerlain though! My favorite is Mitsouko. It is ME.
I picked up Insolence as a blind by as well! Couldn't stand it at first, but it was like a train wreck and I kept going back to sniff it again. It's growing on me and you have to admit-- it's different! I think I'm going to take your recommendation on the Lalique La Parfum !
Let me know what you think!!!
Ouch in the uk work for a company in France I believe, he knows all the components of fragrances.. very knowledgeable.
Hi Amanda! I bought Amethyst because of your description, and I love it! Your description is spot-on! 💜
so glad you like it!!!!
Hi Amanda!
I’m late to the party, but I just found you on TH-cam. Thank you for sharing with us!

Kristine Ann B it’s so wonderful!! I just got a back up bottle of amethyst!! I sold my insolence 😔
Hello Amanda! I am a huge fan of Guerlain. I recommend you to try the edp on those perfumes, the version edp is totally different than the edt. I love Insolence but only edp and Idyle only edp version.
Katy thx!!
Have you tried "I Love Love" by Moschino? Same shape different colors, but of course different scent. I wear it in place of Light Blue.
I haven’t tried it
I love Alien. The first time I wore it, I sprayed one spray and ran some errands. I had two people ask me what I was wearing and they loved it. It lasts for 7-8 hours on me.

I love them all!!!! So glad u like them
Your videos are such a welcome distraction right now. It's so nice to see hauls. Would you ever consider selling your unwanted bottles on Mercari? It's an app I've had good luck with.
Great review !! I want to grab your top 2 in this video now . 😁💕
Yes Thomas is my favourite fragrance reviewer, he is the reason I really got into fragrance! I'm also really enjoying your chanal ,love how you review your fragrances, I have bought molecule 01 and quelques fleurs because of you and I love them thank you x
So glad!!!! 😘😘😘
Hi Amanda,
I caved and purchased both of the Aliens you mentioned from FragranceNet. I also took advantage of Nordstrom’s 25% off sale and purchased the travel size Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge and Chanel Coco Noir. I love all of the perfumes I received however I don’t want to wear them and have quarantine memories tied to them. The next fragrances I’ll be hunting are Lalique Amethyst, Chanel Beige, and Maison Margiela Untitled.
Please let me know what you think!!! I like coco noir!!
I have champs elisees in the bee bottle and I had the old bottle and I 'm telling you is the same composition loove it ! Guerlain is my number one house ! I want to try mugler eau sublime ! Great video !
That is good to know!! Sublime is amazing !!
The Lalique fragrances sound very interesting to me. In Australia they are still around $100 per bottle.... only available on line here.
So Im watching if again. Couldnt sleep! I have Kaleidoscope too! Too bad for those who missed out on this BBW gem. I had to get the whole line. ❤️
K J it’s so wonderful!!!!
Do you have a video of the fragrance TH-camrs that you watch? I'd really like to hear your recommendations of who you follow for good content.
Alicia Elnagger I can certainly do one !
Amanda Loves Perfume!! I fallow my dear makeup diary she’s a wonderful Dominican lady that lives in Germany 🇩🇪

Hi Amanda , ouch 1 10 perfume loves Samsara have you ever tried that one? I’ve been wanting to try the exact Guerlains you purchased. I can’t wait to try them. One more I’m wondering about is La petite robe noire, have you tried this one also? I told myself I would not order any perfume with the things going on but I may not be able to do that much longer... thanks for your honest opinions and keep shopping and stay safe!
I have not tried samsara! I tried robe noir and it was too cherry for me..
I blind bought black perfecto version of rob noir and love it👌
Lisa Harris Samsara is lovely
I think you’d absolutely like the Agent Provocateur edp

Sublime is wonderful- soooo good!!
Do you think eau sublime is inoffensive and safe for office/workplace?
Shar S I would say no, as it’s still Alien at its heart (ie very strong).
I just did a Lalique haul as well! I have all the ones you got. Still waiting on Satine and Le Parfum to arrive. You are right, Lalique by Lalique is very nineties. I love it though.

Amanda Loves Perfume!! Yes, the I love Love (blue bottle) smells like a grapefruit version of Light Blue.
@@blueandlucky000 It is, look for the blue liquid. I’ve read reviews and it reads like it would be so weak. I love Light Blue! It’s gorgeous.
Hi amanda!! I'm so happy for your reviews about perfumes. 💗
I so love Champs Elysees. So pretty.
It’s wonderful!!!
Loooove Champs Ellysee, my grandmother had a mimosa tree here in Central Texas. The scent takes me straight back... I have the EDP in the bee bottle and the longevity is poor. Nevertheless, I love it.

Perles are a gem! I've got it instantly once I read somewhere that it is similar to discontinued Midnight Poison by Dior. Been looking for a dupe of that one for ages. Perles by Lalique do smell REALLY similar to Midnight Poison on the dry down. 1st blast it is nothing alike though. And the longivety are excellent. Now I probably get the L'amour as well because I've been eyeing that versense from Versace for a while.
I purchased a Perles on a blind buy and so glad I did! I wasn’t sure the first time I sprayed it but after 5 minutes...loved it!😊
Hi 👋🏽 you’re description of Moschino is hilarious 😂 Great video!!
Courtney Kwatrice 🥴
I have a backup bottle of Kaleidoscope and all of the body products. So I don’t need the Glossier perfume?? Take care
No- it literally smells exactly the same !
Ellisa Vitulli I got the body mist Kaleidoscope from bath n body. Yes it smells exactly like you from glossier but in my opinion a lil better unfortunately it’s discontinued but I ordered 3 of them from eBay. Love love this sent
It’s cheaper on Mercari
Love your videos! You could list the fragrances that didn’t work for you on ebay or poshmark and maybe someone else might like it and it wouldn’t be a waste :)
Wendy Barrionuevo I am selling some at a local consignment shop!
Hi Amanda, I came across you this morning..so glad I did! I really enjoyed watching you so I hit subscribe😊❤️
Kasiagirl 😘😘😘
Hey there, for the Champs Elysees did you get the parfum or eau de toilette? Thanks ,great video.
My name is Amanda too and I do the same thing as you, I can't resist. I blind buy after going on you tube and fragrantica , I have hundreds, I really have an addiction. Must be an Amanda thing 🥰
oldonetwoable haha!! Yes! It’s an addiction for sure !!
By guerlain, I love jardin de bagatelle and L’heure blue.
Could you show how you decant your perfumes? 😘
i do on my longest lasting video! check it out
I thumbs up’d this video simply because she said she couldn’t help herself! Because this is ME!😂
Amazing Haul! It's making me want to get sublime.. how does it smell? I imagine it to be like light blue mixed with alien? Hoping to blind buy it
Sublime is just a pretty smoother lighter version of alien
Ahh I love insolence, l’ instant😀
I don't like insolence even though I tried. I have Alien Fusion, and that is good. I have several fragrances I'd like to purchase, and they are Libre, Angel EDT, Oud Bouquet and others.
Donna Drane I like libre
Hi long lost sister! We have the same hobby while watching TV - online perfume shopping! 😅😅😅
🥴🥴🥴
Ooh lalique le parfum is the bomb
Kay LovesPerfume 😍😍
I always use a 37% off code on fragrancenet
I blind bought insolence EDT and I was not impressed I got the bee bottle version and it lasted about three hours. It was a very pretty Berry and sugared violets smell but it did not last.
Kay LovesPerfume how do u use that code? Is it in addition to the normal 30 percent off ?
@@blueandlucky000 GRPW37
This is the code
It's instead of the 30%

I blind bought amethyst and hate it. Sickening sour smell. I had scrub my arm.
Loved this video!!! Guerlain Insolence is a weird one.... my friend from France wears it and it’s her signature, when I first met her I HATED the smell, then it started to grow on me, it was so distinct I’d never smelled anyone so perfumed before 😂😂 now every time I visit her she smells like insolence and it’s so beautiful to me now, I own the EDT and EDP, and wear only 2 sprays. I wish I received more compliments on it but I don’t, and I’m a sucker for compliments so I don’t reach for it much.
It’s just not my cup of tea- it prob smells great on other people 😋
Have you ever smelled La Mia Perla?? If not please get it. The bottle is amazing and so is the juice! I always say if angels had a smell, that’s how they will smell😍😍😍
jennifer latifa no!! I must try it!!
Amanda Loves Perfume and Books! Yessss you will love it!! And it’s really inexpensive around $20-$25
how do you decant your perfumes ?
Funny Story- I have blind bought quite a few based on various youtuber reviews -- and only a couple have been "duds" in my opinion (-I don't care for Pink Sugar - I know everyone else DOES-and Jessica Simpson Fancy didn't WOW me. They are okay but not my favs).I bought Lalique Amethyst because of you and I was happy with it so when I watched this review and heard how much you LOVED Lalique Lamour I bought it. After I bought it in anticipation for its arrival I went on Fragrantica and other sites to do more research and heard such HORRIBLE reviews...one even said the beginning made her want to vomit?the more reviews I read the more polarizing they were- Love or HATE. So...it just arrived --and I thought "moment of truth" -- I opened up the box (gorgeous bottle) and sprayed---its PRETTY!!!!! Thank Goodness!!!!! I have NO IDEA what the extreme negative reviews were all about. Even if you didn't think it was your type of perfume it is NOT HORRIBLE in any way! It's LOVELY. I keep smelling the card and I have no idea how to describe it but it is PRETTY. Whew. SO RELIEVED. lol. Just goes to show you that reviews are all based on individual preferences. One mans "trash" may be your "treasure"! Thanks for the suggestion! I so want to try champs but I noticed you got the toilette? and was wondering why not the parfum? Im always afraid of weak sillage and longevity (which is info I appreciate in reviews) so I always go for the parfum thinking it is the best of those categories. Anyway, I could only get one and you said Lamour was your favorite and I am sooooo glad I got it. Thanks! I like/wear-- Jadore, Bronze Goddess, Burberry Her Intense, Pure Poison, Hypnotic Poison, Olympea, Versace Bright Crystal Absolu, Girl of Now, Organza Indecence, Vince Camuto Amore,Lalique Amethyst, No 3 Limperatrice, Be Delicious, Angel Muse, Fancy Love,Red Door........Lalique Lamour!
G I’m so glad you like it - I can’t imagine a negative review on l’amour- it’s just a pretty scent
Are u still liking amethyst ?
@@blueandlucky000 Yes! I am saving it right now because for me it seems more of a fall/winter perfume, I like citrusy/bright/floral/fruity for spring or summer....Amethyst feels warm and cozy (to ME )rather than "bright"....but i find myself sniffing the bottle every now and then just to smell it because it is so pretty. lol. Is that weird? wink. On one hand I worry about blind buying because I need to watch my money, and I hate the risk. However, on the other hand, if not for reviewers like you I would never hear of most of these wonderful perfumes let alone be able to "sample" them as most of these are not found in stores and/or "samples" not available or easy to find. Good reviewers like you help us make the most educated purchase possible when literally smelling a perfume first is not an option. Thanks again.
insolence was a huge miss for me also.
The Kaleidoscope bottle is so cute
Kay LovesPerfume I know!! I love it
I have been splurging on fragrances too! 🙃 Idylle is pronounced like e-deal 😉
gotcha!
Amanda Loves Perfume!! I also ordered Alien Eau Extraordinarie by the way... blind buy... glad to see you like it!
Great video ! Giving me the urge to splurge ! I have Insolence as well it’s very very very powdery to me so I have to be in the mood to wear it because I have put it on before and it’s given me a headache - but hey the bottle is super cute 🙂
Melissa Jean the bottle is sooo cute!!!
Is mon guerlain long lasting with good sillage? I think i want it but am tired blind buyingperfumes with little sillage or wear
G on me it’d very good
But everyone is different
I don't like insolence as well even the older formula! I had it before I just sold it. Why don't you resell them?
I need L’ amour in my life😍
Yaassssss
Hello: I'm a fairly new subscriber to your channel. Is your Champs Elysees the EDT or EDP? Listening to you describe it, I want it now. Thank you~
Rebecca Peña edt!
Which Champs did you get - edt or edp?
Cubby Levi edt
Omg insolence was a miss for me too lol
I hear you!!! Hehehe i am a perfumeholic as well lol
I love Ouch 1110!
I love love cheap by moschino smells like d&g light blue not the one you have.. The original Insolence is breath takingly beautiful.
N W that is what I have realized!!
I disliked Insolence also! Bought and sold it within 24 hours...bought Amethyst because of you and love it as well :)
so glad!!!
Another question, how come you dont return your disliked purchases to FragranceNet? and if you have, what was the experience like?
It’s my understanding that you can’t return open packages
I’ve been buying from Fragrancenet for 20 years. They only take returns if they are unopened so you can’t open, spray, decide you don’t like it and return. To be honest, I don’t know why they offer returns since you basically can’t😳🤔🙄😏
I’ve never in my life has smelled anything so polarizing that agent provocateur. Oh yeah I think ouches favorite fragrance is samsara.
I’m one of the few who don’t like Light Blue. The sugary note doesn’t smell fresh and ruins it for me.
Hi Amanda! I also love Kaleidoscope! My question is do you think Lalique Le Parfum is unisex enough that a guy can wear it? Love your videos and the eloquent way you describe your fragrances.
I do think a guy could wear it!!!
Curious as to how long it took to receive the fragrances from FragranceNet. I ordered some on March 31st and still haven’t received them.
P J Freeman On the same boat. Just write them an email and they will give you an extra 10% off. They did it with my order. I’m still waiting for mine as well.
Melinda Torres Hi. Thanks for your comment. It’s already been charged to my credit card, so is the 10% off on future orders? It will be in the low 80s today and I’m concerned about the effect of the heat on the perfume. Will just have to wait and see. Take care.
If u choose free shipping - it can take a while
They are also shipping from nyc so it could be backed up a bit
I always pay for the faster shipping !
P J Freeman if they already said it’s shipped then I don’t think so. But you can always give them feedback about your concerns and they should give you at least a discount. I’m in Ny and still haven’t received my package. It says it finally shipped so I should receive it on Friday. The post office hasn’t really been delivering packages around my area. All we can do is wait and see and be patient of course.
I am glad I am not the only one, ordered on 3rd and still says it’s not been shipped yet☹️I also emailed them today
Is your champs elysee the edp or edt?
April Woodworth edt
I have a lot of fragrances, I was just wondering if any one has or smelled agent provocateur?
Maureen Hannivan I haven’t!
Jajaja oh dear Amanda you don´t have to excuse yourself....it´s more than normal I´m in this Facebook group of Frag Collectors (Ouch110´s Smelly Friends" ) and everybody is doing what makes them happy, continue collecting fragrances jajaja....it is what makes us kind of have a little peace of mind of being back to the "normality" when we are not at all living normal lives....anyway....I also ordered many because they are cheap here in Europe at the moment and also % almost half price for Givenchy Very Irresistible EDP, and all the Givenchy Irresistible line was half price, the Guerlains Aqua line too, I don´t know why....I also got Olympea EDP and the Intense, Fendi Furiosa EDP, Repetto EDT, Chloe Nomade, Elie Saab Forever and M.Jacobs Daisy Love....I have 2 more that I am thinking about Alien Extraordinaire but just the refill, I dont have the bottle but actually kind of don´t need it, just maybe get a spray and have it in my purse.....and last one is Roberto Cavalli Gemma di Paradiso.....and I think I will really stop there....I do not need more really I have like more than 50....LOL!!!
Marcela Largo I love ouch 110
Thanks for making me feel normal!!!
Amanda Loves Perfume and Books! Oh 😮 you should join his Facebook page “ Ouch110’s Smelly Friends” I love Thomas he is such a sweetheart and he is by far my fave, he has tons of knowledge and describes so well notes and fragrances, I really trust his recommendations, always!
I just did!!!!!!! 😍😍
I’ll try to not to blind buy .... for a minute. 😂
Lol
You’re right I just got my insolence perfume and it’s so boring...it’s weird idk how people are raving about it
Very nice Perfumes
thx!!
I spray Insolence on my pillow rather than wearing it.
Diane Ringhiser ohhh- good idea!!
Well done Amanda! It is very difficult to ignore a bargain, especially on fragrances you have wanted. You only cheated because of the extreme value! :0)
😍
I promised myself no more perfumes too and then I ended up ordering Escada desire me from fragrancenet and I was hoping i would love it and no. :(
Tatiana Catherine ugh- I hate that !
