I feel just as good decluttering a fragrance as buying a new one. I even feel good when i finish a bottle of gin but maybe that's not the right comparison. 😂
Omg! I think we could be besties!! 🫢😆Do you live close??!! A martini with a twist is my cocktail!! 😂🙌❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm pretty sure we would get along great. 😂 🥂🍷🍹🍸
@@ThePerfumeNest hi. I drink is totally different. It's bright red and comes in Small bottles, in a box😍💯
😂😂😂
@@nancymarkiewicz8123 Fanta? Strawberry Swirl??!😆
I love orange blossom and so does my husband, I would love if you did an orange blossom video! 😊
Great idea!! Will do!!
Scared me half to death. I literally thought you were leaving us. I need a mimosa.
Ah gosh I didn’t think of that, oh my gosh you just killed me. Dying. 😆😆😆
😂😂😂
Oh my! Lets see who is walking the plank lol! I need another declutter soon.
Walk the plank!😆
Fragrance is so funny. I bought your Will Be Love when you sold it and it’s SO gourmand on me. Like a lemon butter cookie. A little bit of popcorn too.
Oh my gosh I’m so jealous!!!!😂😂😂😂 but you are so right?! That’s why I always say sample first even though I don’t always follow my rules. 🤦♀️
Thanks for sharing your rationale for decluttering - as you went thru some of the reasons you purchased: it was a celeb’s perfume; you wanted to complete a collection; the notes sounded right up your alley - yep, me too. Also, wanted to thank you again for bringing us your awesome & hugely informative rice fragrances video!❤
Aw!!! Thank you so much for this comment!!
A declutter!! Yay! ❤ It's always such a great feeling to let go of fragrances you don't really use! Clears up a lot of space on the shelves and in the head! 😅
Definitely!!❤️❤️❤️
Happy Sunday Chris. I am with you regarding decluttering. If it just doesn’t bring me total joy I think it’s best to let go. Plus it opens the door for fragrances that I truly love.
Yes. Right??!!❤️❤️
Yes. I agree. 😉❤️
Thank you for your great analysis! 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Aw you are so sweet for always stopping by!!!💕
Hi Chris….
I’m fortunate to have a granddaughter who shares my passion for fragrance. Whenever something doesn’t work for me, I pass it on to her to try. We have similar tastes, but not exactly the same. So I never have the aggravation of trying to resell my fails. 😂
I live in boiling hot Arizona. I used to line dry my clothes. They dried in an hour, and they smelled wonderful! 🌞
When you realize that a fragrance just doesn’t work for you, why let it sit on a shelf and go bad??? It’s so nice that you let it live its life with someone who will love it. Kudos! 😊
100% 😊
I agree! Yes I do let a ton of perfumes go to friends and coworkers. Esp PR that doesn’t work . It’s nice when someone else enjoys something that didn’t work for me right?? Unfortunately my daughter always likes what I like!! 😂But it’s cute to see her pop in and spray from my collection. I love it
Great video. So informative. Thank you Chris!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!!🙏🏻
Decluttering is so satisfying ❤️❤️❤️
I totally agree!🩷
Thank you so so much for the video Chris, you’re community favorite perfume reviewer and I appreciate how much detail you go into, you save me so much money! Hope you’re having a great week!💖
Aw thank you!! What a lovely comment. 🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
Hi Chris ❤️❤️❤️ Yes to decluttering. Can’t wait! Easier to watch than to act on it 😅
I know! ❤️
Great video, Chris! Would love to see an orange blossom/neroli video in the future ❤
You got it! Thx!!
Seconding this- I’d love to see an orange blossom video please 😊
@@catherinepietrzak5247 you got it!!
I adore "For Your Love". It was my most worn last year. I put it away during the cold months but will be reaching for it again. I can see how it might pull sour on some people but I'm fortunate it smells lovely with my chemistry.
Yes!!! So pretty and ethereal! I bet you smell amazing.
Oh my goodness my mom always lined dried our linens and I absolutely love that smell! I might have to check that fragrance out!
I grew up air drying my clothes, and it really sparked my interest too😂🎉
Aw!!!!!!!!!😉🥲
I love my clothes line. The smell it's my brain deep to core memories.
Goodness! I was in the middle of doing some computer work and saw you dating GOODBYE and I immediately stoppad what I was doing and came to THE video. whew!! I Will have to go back and finish THE work I was doing and watch THE video With My complete attention a bit later. but WHEW!! glad you are staying around.
Omg! I didn’t realize that. I changed the thumbnail! 😮🤦♀️😆
Hey Chris!❤❤ def understand why decluttering would be necessary especially as an influencer😊
Yes. Unless you won the lotto or can devote an entire room to nothing but perfumes. 😂
Hi Chris. I’m just starting to wear my Rosendo Mateu no. 6 now that the evenings are getting cooler here in Oz. So that one will be on rotation for a while.
You are showing a lot of discipline with this declutter. Well done, you deserve a martini now😁🍸. 😃🇦🇺
lol!!! Oh yes I think #6 will be gorgeous in the colder weather!!! Martini!! 🍸 🙌
What a great video! I have slowed down on my blind buys and new stuff as well! I need to sort out and declutter a lot of stuff so I can get a handle on what I do have. Thanks for the incentive! Have a lovely day🤩
Me too! I'm at the point where I'll try a 2 mil. Sample to see if I like the scent & then buy a larger 5mil. just to make sure I will actually use it before I get a full bottle
Yay! You are so sweet to always stop by. 🙏🏻❤️
I love your descriptions of fragrances and we like a lot of the same notes🌹❤️
Hi Chris. So interesting how differently perfumes last on different people. Santal Calling is well lasting on me, easily 8-9 hours with a noticeable sillage. So sorry to hear it didn’t work out for you as it is such a beautiful perfume.
Aw! Yes isn’t that crazy??!! I do think it’s beautiful. But light as air on me. Enjoy. 🙏🏻❤️
I'd love to see you rate your PDM fragrances, if you haven't done such a video already.
Great video, Chris!
Ok! Good idea!!
Oh my gosh, I just got For Your Love recently after sampling it for quite a while. I absolutely love it, and a fantastic one on me. Feels very easy reach for me.
Ah I’m so happy!!!! It was getting neglected and you are smelling beautiful!!!
Hi Chris! I have also started letting go of some of my “smells so good” but I never wear fragrances. 😊
Really??!! Like which ones??
I recently sold Narcotic V, Libre Intense, 51 Pour Femme Essence, La Nuit tresor a La folie. They are all beautiful but for different reasons I wasn’t reaching for them. 🤷🏻♀️
I love a good declutter video and this is it👏👏. However I still love Rolling In Love and have just received a decant of Ardent😍😍. I’ve just decluttered four fragrances, not much but the receiver was ecstatic🤩🤩. Stay gorgeous 🥰🥰
Oh what did you lay go of??
I love the way you describe scents/notes. Do you have any Botega Venetta Parco Palladiano in your collection. I was given a sample of one with a VI numerical number and it smelled so good on me. So clean but I could not afford it?
I don’t!!! They became discontinued so quickly. 🥲
I like deep gothic rose cents like Ardent, especially for wearing on Halloween but, to be honest, I don't wear them that much either 😕
Yes!! I found that to be the case with me as well ❤️
Hey Chris,
lovely video as always.
I would like to ask whether the word "earthy " has the meaning of something somehow smelling like barn.II 'm just curious!
Thanks for the insight!
Love from Hellas .
Hi there!! When I say “earthy” I mean really smells like Earth; ground, dirt. I would say “skanky” or “animalic” if it smelled like donkey butt or barn. 😂
Hello Chris! I need this video! 😁😁😁. I’m also planning to declutter some fragrances, a lot of them are the ones that you mentioned: Vanagloria, RM #5, Athalia, and not the exact same one, Accident A La Vanille just found a new owner (my friend). 🥰🥰🥰 ♥️♥️♥️
Oh your friend is smelling nice!! How kind of you!!!
Hey Chris. I had similar reactions to a couple of the perfumes you mentioned in this video. Rolling in Love was boring and undescrip for me. Totally underwhelming!
Alt hair was a no for me too. Was nothing special on my skin.
1969 has been on my want to sample list because I too heard it was Angelina Jo lie’s signature scent and that also made me curious about it. When you commented that I laughed out loud!!😂 now I think I’ll pass on it so thanks for your review.
It is so darn fascinating how perfume smells so different on different skin. Rolling in love for example I bought a sample of because another TH-camr raved about it and it sounded like something would enjoy. Alas, it fell so flat for me. Avoid temptation and first! Today I nearly convinced myself to buy the full bottle of Sirens n sailors from Jusbox ( on sale 30% on avant- guard) because another TH-camr loves it and described it in a way that calls to me, BUT I refrained and bought the sample instead.
Good for you!!! I’m doing so much better in that dept as well..:but still not perfect. Did you ever get Sirens & Sailors?
Good morning Lovely you look so lovely! You said you don’t like cooking spices I agree yet I own turmeric latte and get crazy compliments when I wear it what do you think about that spicy concoction?😊
Hi there!! I’ve been meaning to try it but it’s never in store when I’m there
@@ThePerfumeNest oh dear! We need to get a sample to you😊 it is perfect for cooler weather. 🍁if you haven’t had a chance to get your nose on it before the first chill in the air, I will send you a decant.xo
@@ThePerfumeNest PS it is released in October and hibernates after December, but I will send you some of my own stock when it gets cold.
Have you ever done a tea perfumes video? I did a quick search and I didn't see one but if you have sorry! If not though would love to hear your take on these as I keep finding more and more I want to get a sample of but I also appreciate your taste! And love the honesty blind buying can be such a dangerous game!
I haven’t! But I’ve got some amazing tea fragrances so I will def do one!!
Always love your honesty🎉
I recently discovered and bought 2 Killians: Apple Brandy on the Rocks & Angel's Share and I love them both. They have a great longevity🎉
I want to bathe in the Angel's Share but it would cost too much haha.
Yes!!! I love that Angels Share vibe; yummy apple pie thing. Have a ton in that category and love them!
@@ThePerfumeNest Yum! Another video idea😊😁😋🎉
I feel the same about Safanad and Athalia.... Pretty but not me. Why am I not surprised lol!
Oh em gee. This is cookoo! 😂😂😂😂 I must come visit the sister I never knew I had! 😂
Will Be Love was such a disappointment. I agree, not gourmand at all. Sunday gave me the same sick feeling that I got when I smelled Secretions Magnifique. I also loved the Accident Creme de la Berry but didn’t need to smell like crunchberries either! The only one I disagree with Is Poudree de Riz…such a pretty, pretty fragrance that you just might want to wear again sometime down the road. Looking beautiful as always😘
Poudre de Riz? I didn’t show it. You mean Blanc Poudree??❤️❤️
@@ThePerfumeNest yes
At 16:36 I also bought several Parfums de Marly fragrances to "complete my collection". I ended up selling Valaya and Meliora becuase they I didn't like them as much as some of the others. At 3:32 Mizensir "For Your Love" is one of my top favorites.. I like it just as much as BR 540 extrait and if you layer it with Kilian "Rolling in Love" is smells like a much better/higher quality YSL "Mon Paris" ❤😊
Oh nice layering combo!! I love Tres Cher and Bois Iridescent and Solar Blossom. Those are the Mizensir I keep reaching for. ❤️❤️
Declutter about to happen over here as well!😁
Give me first dibs!!😆
I’m finding that as time goes by my nose is getting fickle! It’s incredible how much my nose changes. Is there something wrong with my sense of smell? Lol…I can love a perfume one year and the next year become disinterested in it. Fortunately I am able to pass it on to my daughter in law, friend or coworker. Love to see the smile on their faces when they receive it!! ❤😊
Yes!!!! I do that with a lot of mine also.
❤
❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰
I remember you talking about Wish Come True and I know it wasn't really a love for you.. I remember thinking I might like it, but I've still never gotten a sample to this day. At this point I probably won't! 😂 Rosendo Mateu no. 6 has been on my wishlist but for some reason I haven't gone ahead and purchased it. And I DEFINITELY get the burnt rubber in No.5 even though it doesn't last the whole time..
You have an amazing memory girl!!
@@ThePerfumeNest ..but why do I remember random things here and there and forget the things I’m supposed to remember?? 😅🤣
I passed on my bottle of For Your Love for the same reason. I also thought it was pretty but it’s not a casual wear and I found myself never wearing it in the two years I had it.
Yes! Same. 💕
I’m so glad you smelled and preferred the OG Accident a la Vanille ❤ Did you ever try more than the little decant I sent you?
Yes. I got another little decant. Still love it!!
@@ThePerfumeNest yay🥰
Hey Vanilla! funny thing I just bought Divine Vanilla this weekend, that's a love for me. Is a little feminine but what the heck.
I love it also!! Love it! 🙌
For Your Love did not work for me either. The Patch ruined it for me lol. So glad I sampled first.
Oh yes I could see that also!!
Good Morning Chris! Thanks for the video ❤
Good morning! Thx for watching!!🙏🏻💕💕
I probably don't have a tenth of your collection, but this has inspired me to declutter as well..😂
Really??!! Which ones??
I blind bought a fragrance because it had my name in the title..lol. How perfect would it be to have a signature scent with your name in it? I tried so hard to like it but couldn't. Another bad reason to buy a fragrance.
I do like 1969 though. I get more of the spices than the peach. I also bought it because of Angelina Jolie..lol.
Great video.😊
Aw!! Is your name gardenia? How cute!!!!
I love decluttering videos ❤
💳💵
lol! I’m always nervous watching others.?😆
I love declutters!!! It feels so good! But I love NY fifth ave it’s super feminine and powdery floral on me! What’s strange is I hardly smell any oud on me! I do need to declutter some lemon gourmands tho! I have 100ml bottles of
Lira
Bake
Devotion
So Vanilla
Bosca Vanilla forte
And smaller bottles of
Lemon tart
Unknown pleasures
Some gotta go!
Oh my gosh!!! You’ve got some amazing ones! I can’t let go of my lemony gourmands but a few are on the chopping block with me!!
Girl, you know you’re in medicine when you call a peach “necrotic” 😂😂😂
Omg! I thought the same thing when I was editing this. 😂🫢🤦♀️
Beautiful with or without make up I’m sure! Thanks for showing the decluttering side of this hobby (nay, addiction). We need this reminder to be more selective… I say this as I’m doing the same this weekend. It can definitely get out of control…. Only loves and super likes going forward. (Why do I feel like I need an accountability partner?!)😮 Cheers!
I always say I want to be more selective and then……😂💕💕💕
Love the scent memory of Accident a la vanille creme de la berry. It happens the same to me with Le Gourmand. Every time I wear it, I think: I don’t really want to smell like this…
😂😂😂😂
Time to declutter for me as well. Most of the blind buys really didn’t work for me so I’m really trying not to. I get tempted though lol🤷🏼♀️
Gosh it’s so hard. Esp when someone tells me their blind buys always work out. 🤦♀️😆
Are you trying to kill me? Because I almost had a heart attack when I read “saying goodbye” lol You’re my favorite female TH-camr and you’re going to need to break up with me gentler than that!😂 I’m not a big rose fan but love Ardent and sold mine too quite awhile ago because I rarely go anywhere fancy also.
Omg!! Sh$&! I didn’t even think of that! I’ll change my thumbnail. 😂❤️❤️
Rolling in Love initially made me think of unsmoked cigarettes, maybe it was that almond. After sitting for several months, though, I don’t get that anymore.
😂😂Isn’t that funny what we all get
That's right if your reaching for them let it go.
I need your willpower. I need to channel Theresa.
@@ThePerfumeNest yes stop holding on to things that no longer serve you, it's a mindset that i got from my mom lol.
I have my sample of Blanc Poudre that you sent me a long time ago! 🫶🏻✨ I remember liking it and it sounds just up my alley but I'm thinking the musk was a little heavy for me.. I need to dig it out and give it another sniff! 🤍🤍 Great declutter my friend!! ❤
Aw. I forgot I sent you a sample of that!!
Mmm...they should add "necrotic peach" as a scent note...enticing (not!) 😉🤣🤣
Omg right??!!😆
Yes please to an Orange Blossom video I love orange blossom. Declutting Safanad. tsk tsk. I'll forgive you this time.
Omg!!!😆😆Thank you.
@@ThePerfumeNest LOL.
Hello! If you can't find a buyer for Blue Lazuli, I want to buy it. The problem is that I'm in Montréal.
Aw thanks. Yes it’s super hard to ship things to Canada. 🥲
Here is one strategy.
#1- One bottle per brand
#2- No similiar scents or flankers
#3- Scents that are for one occasion or too specific.
#4- Limit a number (5,10,20,25) as a maximum
#5- Scents that are very high in price or are limited use.
#6- Discontinued and hard to find scents
That’s an excellent strategy! Would be near impossible as a content creator. And I can’t imagine having to choose one Guerlain? 😮but if I ever stop creating content and retiring this is an excellent option 👍🏻
Congratulations on the productive declutter.
Ummmm. Where’s the Mercari link?
I’m a Federal employee on a budget, and I’d love to scope them out.
Hey there!! It’s at the bottom. ❤️
@@ThePerfumeNest Oh, crud…. My eyes betrayed me….
I am in the burned tires with Rosinda and Babycat camp.
Oh dear. Not my Babycat!😆
👻🎉
Boo!!
I’m pretty sure Ambergris makes me nauseated so I tend to avoid fragrances that list it 🤷🏻♀️
I can only think of a few perfumes that I like with it.
@@ThePerfumeNest I can’t even describe what it smells like to my nose, but it literally makes me gag as a base note 🤷🏻♀️
For some reason, despite the seemingly lovable notes, Rolling in Love smelled like Fritos or something to me 😭
Fritos!😆Yes. It came off weird on me also
I almost had a heart attack. I thought you says good bye to youtube, ufff, just to fragrances.
I need to change my thumbnail. I didn’t even think of that.
😂😮🤦♀️
Replica Under the stars smelled like burnt rubber to me. I almost felt sick from that scent. Terrible😢
Ok! I’ll make sure it’s not on my sample list!!😂
Did you know Olivier Pescheux died last summer? Rosendo Mateu also died.
Yes I remember hearing that. Sad.
