It's not the Patchouli that bothers, it's the poor mixing and possibly poor ingredients. Many people think they hate Patchouli when they start delving into the world of perfumery ( I went through that phase, too), but when done well, it can be absolutely fabulous and very, very enticing. I went from patch hater to a lover, but I look for perfumes where it dominates and leads, instead of playing last fiddle in the bottom of the pyramid. I enjoyed watching your declutters, and I would have made very similar choices for keep vs let go of. Gifted perfumes are tricky, if we're close I would just tell the person it's not my type and would offer it back to them (as usually people tend to gift what they personally like). Otherwise I would just regift them quickly, it doesn't make sense holding on. Basic "nice" perfumes never grow on me, so it's not likely I will look for them later. Freesia is usually a deal - breaker for me, too.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. These are so therapeutic for me. I, like you, do not like Patchouli. I love perfume and I have come full circle in some ways. What was once an innocent love when I was younger, became an anxiety inducing effort to keep up with the latest and greatest...which most of the time I just end up not liking many that TH-cam raves about. But I had a reality check and my mindset has changed. I have no more time, room or coin for fragrances that I don't deem as loves and do not perform. And I will have more self-control, contentment and discipline when it comes to making fragrance purchases. I just ain't doing it anymore! Thanks for sharing!
Hi thank you for watching! I've found my collection at times jist way too big to point where it's not even enjoyable anymore to pick a scent for the day. Decluttering once in a while definetly helps alot ❤❤
@@CloudofLis EXACTLY! I recently laid in my bed looking at my collection and I sadly thought to myself "I might actually die before I use all of these fragrances up." I wasn't trying to be morbid, but it was an honest assessment. I immediately began to declutter...I made several of my coworkers very happy and I had new level of peace when I did. Take care and stay safe!
Exactly! For some reason, when I do decide to take some time with a fragrance I have doubts with, I 99% declutter them eventually. I'm trying to test more fragrance before buying tho, that should help 😅❤❤
This video is from 1 year ago but I am now introducing myself into the world of fragrances. My favourites are Trussardi Donna, Guess Bella Vita, CK Be and CH Good Girl ♡
I have been deliberating on the whole petite robe noire thing for almost a year because of patchouli. I read and read and took the suggestion of fragrantica regarding the "legere hippie chic" version. It was said that licorice and p word were practically nonexistent. I found a steal on a new sealed bottle on eBay , it was 30$ for 1 oz. It's a big ole LOVE for me. It does not last more than a couple hours on skin but better on clothes. I love it so much that it's worth reapplying. Its just a grownup slightly incensed cherry. Nothing headache about it (I usually hate smoke or incense). I feel like a big girl when I wear it. Might be worth sampling for you. No doll head no yuck just balanced light sweet cherry expertly blended with supporting notes. Like an oriental lite for girls who ain't really ready for orientals yet
Good for you! I think a lot of us are getting pretty overwhelmed with our collections lately. Since you mention loud projectors are your fav, you may want to sample fiori first...it’s VERY soft for me. Like zero projection. That could be just my experience but thought I’d share. 🥂💐
FYI, Zara sells pretty quickly on Mercari. I was quite surprised when I put them up, I thought no one would be interested, but all the ones I decluttered, sold within a couple of days at most.
I love Olympea but i definatly understand why someone might not like it. Its a lot and it smells different on different people and I hear people pick up different notes than I do - so. Totally understand!
I felt the exact same way about Olympea. It unfortunately made me feel nauseous, and the salt note was overwhelmingly unpleasant to my nose. I fell hard for the hype. Not the first nor the last time, I am sure ;)
Patchouli is beyond nauseating for me! I'm a patchouli free zone. I can't figure out why they ruin so many otherwise nice scents with it. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten hyped about a fragrance and then looked up the notes...yeah I love that note... Uh huh yeah I love that note and that note oh and THAT ones my favorite and then.. Dun dun dun . ugh. Probably better for my budget though. Lol! Also I find it helpful when women talk about why they don't like one. To me it's all information. I have not bought a lot of blind buys that I might have bought if not for someone's description of it, so its saved me money and disappointment.
I noticed that with the si fiori dupe you mentioned Neroli is a prominent note, to me neroli makes things smell like bathroom freshener or toilet spray, I’m not a fan of that note is what I have noticed from myself
Agree with you about the patchouli. With my skin's chemistry, it turns medicinal on me and smells like the disinfectant Bactine. Such a shame! I had to return a new bottle of LVEB this week because of that. If it wasn't so dominant, I would have kept it.
First of all don’t ever apologize for fragrances you don’t like and second I just decluttered Reb’l fleur also LOL and I don’t like patchouli.!! The patchouli in flower bomb is a deal breaker for me, I don’t do well with any Jimmy choo fragrances I think Our nose changes the more we smell 🤷♀️my collection is up to 30 I’m in shock and need to stop !!! I do believe the pandemic hasn’t helped us curb our appetite for blind buying 🤦♀️i decluttered LOVELY ,way to much musk for me Great declutter Hugs Frances 💗💗💗💗💗💗
We decluttered a lot of these for the same reason I feel 😅 My nose has changed a lot already in one year. I have around 30 perfumes now and I'm so glad I decluttered so many. That drawer gave me soo much anxiety 😅❤ Thank you for stopping by 🥰🥰🥰
One more thing, when you commented on using English I thought you were extremely fluent but then you dropped the wtf bomb and I knew you spoke it often. I had to susbcribe.
Giiiirl I cannot stand that Florabotanica! I actually thought I had a fake when I first got it but then i got a second bottle and it smelled the same so I was like Great now I have 2 bottles of something i hate 🙄 Decluttered both! And also, I totally know what you mean when you make a long video with lots of talking in english and you get those ‘i can’t even speak english anymore’ moments 😂 But yours is great! Loved the video and pressed the thumbs up button 😊👍🏼
For that exact reason I decluttered Ricci Ricci... It's weird because it's still very likeable and elegant for being a unique fragrance, but I really had to be in the mood for it (which rarely happend). I did doubt to declutter because I think it's a really great one.. ❤❤❤
I think I bought from you on Mercari! I’m so glad I found your channel! Perfume addict here as well 👍🏼great videos! Will you be selling most of these on Mercari?
@@CloudofLis where would you sell them? I live in the EU as well and i'm really getting into Perfumes so much these days 🌸 have sooo many sents on my wishlist, would love to buy some of your no-no's 🤗
I suggest you look on vinted! I'm not gonna share my page since the app requires us to share personal info like address, and I'm not comfortable with that info being online ❤❤ hope you understand
Maybe some of your perfumes have turned. I have a couple that do not smell like they did when I purchased them. Also, winter/ summer and our chemistry changes. That being said, I completely understand why you decided to switch up.
Hi, ik heb dit al tijdje geleden opgenomen, dus de meeste zijn al verkocht of aan iemand anders gegeven. Ik vind het ook wat moeilijk aangezien ik ze tweedehandssite verkoop er steeds al mijn gegevens opstaan bij verzending.. ❤
Hi dear, unfortunately where I live we don't have a Mercari or Depop... the App I use also requieres me to share my address, which I'm not too comfortable with sharing on the internet. Thank you for watching ❤❤
Dont feel guilty about decluttering bottles you dont like. Enjoy the ones you love wearing. You go girl ☺️
Thank you dear! Honnestly I normally don't.. but if it's a gift it feels a bit strange 😅❤❤
I would love a video of a updated "what's remaining" in your collection video and just a brief reason why they've stayed:)
Thank you for your suggestion! Will definetly do a perfume collection video in the future! ❤
Loved the declutter ❤ For me a strong rose bothers me in perfumes.
I dont mind if someone dislike something i love. Its so subjective and it just make me feel more special about ite😍
I know right! I think exactly same way ❤❤
It's not the Patchouli that bothers, it's the poor mixing and possibly poor ingredients.

We should keep ones that we love 🥰
I declutter fragrances after having them on the chopping block for months ...
Exactly! For some reason, when I do decide to take some time with a fragrance I have doubts with, I 99% declutter them eventually. I'm trying to test more fragrance before buying tho, that should help 😅❤❤
I have Reb'l Fleur but didn't likenit initially. It took time but now.I find it to be utterly intoxicating! It is wonderful over a coconut body cream!
I had it in my collection for about a year and still couldn't get used to it :( I'm glad you like it!! ❤❤

I love patchouli - it turns chocolatey on me!
Jimmy Choo was my signature scent back in the days. I ordered again for sentimental reasons but not reaching for it.
I can see that! It definetly has its own character and I do like it, besides the patchouli 😅❤❤❤😚
Yep, all different and that's life, that's what makes things so interesting! ❤️🥰😘👍
Good for you! I think a lot of us are getting pretty overwhelmed with our collections lately. Since you mention loud projectors are your fav, you may want to sample fiori first...it’s VERY soft for me. Like zero projection. That could be just my experience but thought I’d share. 🥂💐
Thank you so mch for sharing and watching! I will keep it in mind ❤🥰
Yeah, I also give more chances for the perfumes that I did not like but are hyped al lot by others
FYI, Zara sells pretty quickly on Mercari. I was quite surprised when I put them up, I thought no one would be interested, but all the ones I decluttered, sold within a couple of days at most.
Sadly where I live we don't have Mercari.... or not atleast when I checked last time. Thank you for the info!! ❤❤❤
Put it on the Facebook market place! I recently sold my Zara (something) Lisabon very quickly on the FB
@@natasama1069 Thank you!
I love Olympea but i definatly understand why someone might not like it. Its a lot and it smells different on different people and I hear people pick up different notes than I do - so. Totally understand!
I was so sad I didn't like it as much as everyone else lol 😅❤❤
@@CloudofLis thats just the way it is🤷🏻♀️ its nice to declutter😅
@@CloudofLis I had the same experience with Olympea. Total bummer.
@@mariac4327 Glad I'm not alone 😅
I felt the exact same way about Olympea. It unfortunately made me feel nauseous, and the salt note was overwhelmingly unpleasant to my nose. I fell hard for the hype. Not the first nor the last time, I am sure ;)
Hahaha same! Tried the intense and got a bottle after thinking itd be better but I think it's same story sadly
AWESOME declutter, so satisfying to watch! Congrats on your new job!!
Thank you so much!❤❤❤❤

Since you love bubblegum scents, have you tried Paris Hilton heiress?? Its super bubblengummy
Ok wow I searched this right away and see ppl mentioning bubblegum shampoo... that sounds amazing! I'm gonna get this asap!! Tysm ❤️❤️❤️
Just ordered it! Can't wait 😚
@@CloudofLis I hope you like it!!
I felt super weird putting perfumes that had been gifts in my declutter video but if you don't like it, what can you do?
Same!! It does feel strange 😂
I need get more mine is half gone if not near gone.time to top up with more x
Declutters are always so helpful to safe some money 🌸💖🌸💖
Exactly!!!
LOL never count your perfumes! ❤️
😂 Great advice ❤❤
I noticed that with the si fiori dupe you mentioned Neroli is a prominent note, to me neroli makes things smell like bathroom freshener or toilet spray, I’m not a fan of that note is what I have noticed from myself
Yep exactly! I have definetly noticed that aswell 😅❤
I did a massive declutter at the top of the year. It was so freeing.
It is! I'm so happy with my drawer rn lol 😅🥰
I read Florabotanica changed the formula😒. I remember smelling the original in the mall. It smelled so good.
Oh really? I like it but wasn't the biggest fan!
Agree with you about the patchouli. With my skin's chemistry, it turns medicinal on me and smells like the disinfectant Bactine. Such a shame! I had to return a new bottle of LVEB this week because of that. If it wasn't so dominant, I would have kept it.
Yeah I have to be really careful with Patchouli in my next purchases... ❤❤
I decluttered all but 5 of these so I feel ya
Haha really? You have a massive collection so I could see that happening 😅❤❤❤❤❤
impressive declutter! I still cannot bring myself to do one 🤷🏻♀️😊
I understand! ❤
This is a beautiful bouquet :)
Thank you 💜💜
First of all don’t ever apologize for fragrances you don’t like and second I just decluttered Reb’l fleur also LOL
and I don’t like patchouli.!!
The patchouli in flower bomb is a deal breaker for me, I don’t do well with any Jimmy choo fragrances
I think Our nose changes the more we smell 🤷♀️my collection is up to 30 I’m in shock and need to stop !!! I do believe the pandemic hasn’t helped us curb our appetite for blind buying 🤦♀️i decluttered LOVELY ,way to much musk for me

A great video mate I just don't have that strength to declutter my babies. But we can't wear them all sadly 😔
I know 😫
Thank you!!

Yes idk I couldn’t get on the florabotanica hype either 😅
Morning Lisa! Can't wait to see your process!!
🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love decluttering videos lol.
Beautiful flowers and How we can get so many fragrances is the question of the questions 😆
Hahaha I know right! It adds up so quickly ❤
Fragrance declutter videos give me anxiety. I can't part with mine if I tried lol....I have over 300 bottles in my collection!!
Oh jeeez, We're very diffrent, 300 bottles would give me anxiety 😅 ty for watching anyways 😅🥰🥰
@@CloudofLis LoL ......my pleasure!!
I could get with the Rebel fluer, I currently have Ricci Ricci but struggle to wear it. I love declutter videos but can't bring myself to do one 🤣
For that exact reason I decluttered Ricci Ricci... It's weird because it's still very likeable and elegant for being a unique fragrance, but I really had to be in the mood for it (which rarely happend). I did doubt to declutter because I think it's a really great one.. ❤❤❤
@@CloudofLis It's likeable and that is what makes letting it go hard. I agree that it is a mature scent.
I think I bought from you on Mercari! I’m so glad I found your channel! Perfume addict here as well 👍🏼great videos! Will you be selling most of these on Mercari?
Hi! I sell them on a diffrent app, we don't have Mercari where I live. Thank you so much for watching! ❤❤❤

@@CloudofLis sure i do understand that. Thanks for the recon anyways, i'm surely gonna have a look at it 🌸😊
i needed this!! 😂 i admire your decisiveness ❤️
I try 😅❤❤❤
Omg!l have almost all the perfumes you decluttered!
Haha 😅❤❤
I love your accent 💖. Are you Dutch or Scandinavian?
Haha 😄 i'm dutch, thanks 💕
U have a lot😍.I have more than 100...Love Ricci Ricci. Love Olympia!And invictus;)
Right now is a lot less, but not for long i think lolll
don't feel bad.. we all have different noses... btw can you a video of those that you kept..🙂
I will ❤❤
You talked me out of the burberry and into because it's you lol.
I've watched several decant videos and they all say to use glass bottles. You may find them helpful as well.
Yes that's what I did. Thank you! 💕
I love declutters:)
❤❤
I decluttered a lot too, otherwise it gets out of hand
Hi! Love watching your videos tysm for stopping by 🥰🥰
if you love projector fragrances maybe try marc jacobs perfect😄
It projects well? That seems to be a first for Marc Jacobs 🤣 Will look into that thank you!
@@CloudofLis for me personally it does but maybe marc jacobs doesnt fit you you never know
I love perfumes 😍
Maybe some of your perfumes have turned. I have a couple that do not smell like they did when I purchased them. Also, winter/ summer and our chemistry changes. That being said, I completely understand why you decided to switch up.
Yeah, I think mainly my taste is starting to change with the more fragrances I smell ❤❤
I love declutter videos 😉
🥰🥰
Me too!
What do you do with your decluttered perfumes? Do you resell them on mercari or any other sale sites?
Hi! I do resell them on a european app we have here ❤❤❤
The only heliotrope scent I like is lipstick on.. why does it have to be so expensive 😭🤣
Meeeee, about every niche fragrance 🤣❤❤
Wow 😍
I don't like patchouli either but I found some stuff that has it in it that isn't bad
Same! I found that patchouli in a not gourmand fragrance, doesn't bother me that much! ❤
Hi, do you still have the Hugo Boss perfume left?
Most fragrances have been sold/gifted atm! ❤
Can you please tell us what app you use to sell your perfumes..a concerned #perfumeaddict
Hi sweetie.. I didn't say because where I live we have to put our adress on the package, which I don't feel too comfortable sharing.... I'm sorry ❤
@@CloudofLis oh ok...so we don't have a way of purchasing them from you...? Well Take Care & Keep Smelling Good🤗
Not atm.. I'm very sorry, maybe if in future we have a Mercari or something here aswell.. I'll make sure to tell you guys. Thank you so much ❤❤
Where can I buy your declutters?
Hi I sell them on an app, I won't share my profile on it because it has my personal info (address etc) 💕
Hey, verkoop je de si intense nog?
Hi, ik heb dit al tijdje geleden opgenomen, dus de meeste zijn al verkocht of aan iemand anders gegeven.
Ik vind het ook wat moeilijk aangezien ik ze tweedehandssite verkoop er steeds al mijn gegevens opstaan bij verzending.. ❤
How can I purchase?
Hi dear, unfortunately where I live we don't have a Mercari or Depop... the App I use also requieres me to share my address, which I'm not too comfortable with sharing on the internet.
