My best friend is from old money and Allure is her signature scent. To me, it smells very mature. But she has been rocking it since she was in her 20s.
Allure is gorgeous. I am 44 years old and wore allure in my early through mid-20s. It's a sophisticated and, dare I say, alluring fragrance that seems to appeal to adults across age groups.
Yes, I have been wearing this fragrance for many years as it’s been a favorite. I think of it as a signature fragrance but no one has complimented. Maybe, it only smells fabulous to me. I’m ready to update. Hopefully, I’ll find something new as I watch.
Thanks for re-igniting my love of fragrances! It’s now a new hobby. As a single parent spending money for fragrances was a luxury - but I’ll never forget when I made more career moves - I would buy a new fragrance. I did not think anything of it at the time.. it was just what I wanted .. Creed - Hermes, Armani - and Channel. Now ..Thanks to you I’m discovering again, how much I love fragrances and exploring the different ones. Thanks for making these video’s! I thought I’d have A favorite by now.. but I have several instead.
Perfect timing. I'm looking for some perfumes for my wife's xmas prezzies. I might plump for Dama Bianca & Fleur Burlesque, cause who doesn't love burlesque. Angelique Noire is one of my faves, too.
I would add Gentle Fluidity Gold to the list. Every time I wear it I get this trust fund baby slowly taking over the family business empire and as the initial responsibility hosting a charity Gala, and walking and talking with the investors sorta vibe.
@@LeaLooove lol had to google who she is… must say not the one had in mind when I got the picture. Was inclining towards someone less bratty more empowered regardless of the spoilt upbringing 😅
I've been getting elevated sophisticated old money vibes from the two decants I recently tracked down of this and last year's Shalimar limited editions. I never thought I would be a Shalimar woman, but I can't keep my hands off the Mellisime Vanilla Planifolia. (Wish I was old money so I could afford to hoard all the remaining bottles out there!)
Agree 100% on the white chocolate vibe of Carlisle - from the Tonka bean- vanilla - nutmeg combo in there When rich smells yummy! Awesome video as always Demi 💰💵💄💄
Interesting idea for a video. I agree with a lot of your picks. Old money scents are a bit more restrained and less indulgent. Someone from old money would not overspray either. Also, even though I like wearing scents from brands like: Tiziana Terenzi, Bond No 9, and intense fragrances such as Rouge Malachite sometimes, they can smell a bit sexy and trashy. A girl in a loud tracksuit walked by me in a luxury department store literally covered in BR540. She choked me out so badly that the fragrance actually gave off a vulgar vibe.
Finally Gris Dior in a TOP list! Amazing scent and one of my favorites and has become my signature scent.❤ I always love to put this in the office when I want a bit more sophistication an confidence. Completely unique take on rose and patchouli and always gets me compliments.
I love it too. It definitely deserves its spot. It’s absolutely my favourite. As a young teen many centuries ago I saved up to buy Diorissimo (only 5 Dior choices then - Diorissimo, Diorling, Dioressence and Diorama - plus Miss Dior - but only the first 4 were available in my small town). I still keep a bottle of Diorissimo though it’s not easy to find these days, but though I like it, it’s not quite the same since being reformulated. But it’s still lovely and not too sweet. Since then I’ve added Rose n Roses (great for when you need to be subtle - wear it for work or medical appointments ), and very occasionally J’Adore intense, which really is a bit too sweet for me, but love love love this Dior Gris . It’s lasts ages on me too. I put 2 sprays on at 9 am - it’s now 2 pm and I can still pick it up - most perfumes only last a short time on me normally.
Thank you for for this list, took notes and will be ordering samples of practically everything on it 💕 I have a couple favorites, both discontinued, but not the best quality of either. I am looking for something similar, but hopefully better quality and longevity. One is Marc Jacobs Woman Eau de Parfum that has been discounted. The other is an oil by Bare Escentuals called Sea Mist, also discounted. However, it does not have to be an oil, just a good quality fragrance that is similar. If you have any ideas to substitute for these I would be thrilled!
You made m buy Angelique Noir. I remember all those years you preached about it and you were right! Finally got me a bottle this year. Unfortunately, I didn’t find the old bottle. But I love it and you are absolutely right about it! Greetings from Ghana 🇬🇭, West Africa
Nishane Tuberoza is amazing, amazing I love it, they better never discontinue or change the formula. Nishane if you're reading be warned. I also love Gris Dior, a stunner, I would add Dominique Ropion for Frederick Malle Portrait of a Lady and Amouage Memoir.
Out of my collection, I would say Chanel beige, Louis Vuitton heures d’absence, and maybe rose prick (vanille fatale for evening) Angelique nior for sure too… effortless class :)
I feel the same way about Tuberose. I had Tuberoza and it had to go! Angelique Noir definitely puts me in the mind of old money for sure. Cuir Beluga is my favorite fragrance from Guerlain. You definitely pulled out the big guns for this one! I need a new bottle of Ivory Route. I wear this one so much in the winter. Ardent is a stunner! That fragrance was my introduction to the brand.
That was my exact experience with Angelique Noir. I was repulsed with first whiff, like Black Orchid, and Miel du Bois, and now can not get enough. I feel it has that yin yang dynamic like Ormonde Jayne Woman, that I love on my clothes the next day. Thank you for the recommendation.
I loved this list - my daughter gave me a handful of samples of ones I wanted to try: Iris Malikhan, Carlisle (my two top favorites), Then: Volutes, Angelique Noir, Ivory Route, Gentle Fluidity. I was in a store the other day wearing Carlisle - two women walked by me, paused, and said “that’s the smell of a very expensive perfume”. so, there you go. I know I love wearing it. I don’t dislike any of them. Some are a little softer - I love both Ivory Route and Gentle Fluidity for that. For me Angelique Noir - A BANG of scent. Volutes is also wonderful with my body chemistry. I find myself reaching for a different one and enjoying each of them. It will be a difficult decision deciding which one to buy a full bottle of first.
I love Angelique Noire I don’t have a full bottle but I sure want to get it in my collection. I fell in love with the moment I smelled it. Maybe because it’s different and that’s what I love about fragrances.
I love Angelique Noire, Ivory Route, Gris Dior, and Allure, being Allure one of the first fragrances my husband give me when I moved to the USA . I may as well subscribe to your channel since I love many of the ones you have chosen here. Thank you for posting.
Nice list, I def have to try Carlisle! I would add Amouage Honour, Dior Addict and at least one Hermes - many of their perfumes have this old money dna to me.
I Oh my, Allure by Chanel! I used to wear Allure 20+ years ago. Hadn’t worn it in almost two decades, recently bought a bottle and have been wearing on and off. I agree with this one smelling “rich” or “from old money” for sure..
Need to smell Gris Dior. Thanks to you I have and love Iris Malikhan and Ivory Route! Didn't like Guerlain's Angelique Noire, will give it another try. I have Chanel Allure and need to wear it. Great picks!
I would add Tom Ford Eau de Soleil Blanc, not suitable for this list from the first glance, but it is definitely old money lady on the beach vacation somewhere in Spanish Marbella or Monaco, walking on the streets wearing all white, nice hat and designer sunglasses.
Hi Great video I used to work with very wealthy people for Ella bache I used to love the perfumes they would use and they would not necessary wear expensive perfumes believe it or not Old money people were frugal with their money. Many would love old fashion perfumes like ordinary Tea Rose Gardinia Roses Violet perfumes Lilly of the valley also .
Was looking forward to this topic from you, Demi! I’m about to explore Parfums de Marly house & will now be adding Carlisle to my (long) list. Dama Bianca is my signature scent, and people definitely notice it; especially men~ 👀👀
I love radical rose I got a sample and just put it on casually around home and oh it really develops beautifully I love rose fragrances. Thanks for including this fragrance
Yes mine too so beautiful and underrated I revelry sprayed it and I couldn’t believe it lasted 12+ on my skin . Not many people use it here so everyone is always asking what I am wearing
I love Guerlain "Angelique Noire" is fabulous! It is an acquired wear fragrance. And I wear Diptyque "Volutes" quite often; it is a skin scent. I love the Hay note along with the immortelle coming out in the middle and then finishing off with the base notes of: Benzoin, Opoponax, and Myrhh. I prefer the EDT instead of the EDP though.
Just found you and subscribed. My style is very classic, and I definitely want to try your suggestions as elegance, subtle, opulent and expensive are words that resonate with me. Great analysis. Thank you!
The choice of a perfume is highly personal. It must be love at first smell. From my grandmother, my mother, aunts, cousins to my daughter etc., the women in my family wear perfume every day, but according to our tastes and not because it is worn by wealthy women and costs a bomb. Smell like a rich girl is totally stupid.
You're right on the money with Dior. I feel Dior Addict edt, is very much epitome of rich life. It doesn't last long, but it's so uplifting. Beautiful!
My mom and chanel nr 5...whenever my dad wants to make her happy another bottle appears 🤣 me im all about ysl and yvresse is my passion. Im lucky to still have a bottle of the non reformulated one 😍
I own allure and it’s a yes from me I always get compliments and not many people use that perfume here it’s so underrated but long lasting and so alluring .
Thank u very much for the very beautiful n the very nice list of perfumes u have a wonderful taste in perfume I adore all the perfumes u list but not some u bought they r wonderful I trust u very much thanks again
Thanks for this! I now have a few more to try. I had to laugh to myself when you mentioned Allure. I fully agree - it was the very first fragrance I purchased for myself and completed the bottle (which is not the case with all other fragrances I purchased after that). The fragrance I never learned to appreciate is MISSONI. Not a good choice for me. Has anyone else tried it and had the same experience?
I agree, my gourmands are definitely girly and not elegant but... in these difficult times, even being well ensconced needs a parfum that is an embrace ;) 😉
I've noticed a lot of iris in here (or orris root I guess?). I'd say my number one note in fragrances. Some people comment that I smell like an old lady when I wear iris (for example, "Love, Chloe"), but I guess I just smell like old money!! 😅
I had a similar experience with Angelique Noire as you did. Saw some reviews saying it's one of the best vanilla perfume, went to the boutique to buy Neroli Outrenoir and got a sample of Angelique. Usually I don't like vanilla perfumes because they are too sweet and greasy for me. When I sprayed Angelique for first time, the green, grassy and bitter smell hit me in a bad way but then after 1-2 hours, the creaminess of vanilla came out, has transformed in a very luxurious, sophisticated smell. I even got complements from a guy in a store. He said that I was smelling so good and he doesn't know what I wear but I should keep wearing it and buy it, I felt very nice I must admit. In my country stranger guys just don't compliment your perfume in a public place, so it means he really, really liked it.
Awesome video Demi!!!! I kind of giggled at allure being on this list because it was my teenager perfume. Loved it then… although still pleasing I like the more sexy perfumes now. I may try a few of your suggestions by ordering samples . Thanks!!!
So so happy for that video, watching this before going to work, putting me in a great mood, going to be wearing Gris Dior today! (I'm on my second coffee 🤣) Bonne journée Demi from South of France 💕!
Oh no! I thought Athalia would be part of the list. I think it smells like velvet gloves, and everyone who's smelled it on me seems to like it. No surprise on Diptyque, the whole line smells like old money for sure
I wonder why many consider Guerlain designer, true they sell other boudoir products like lotions and makeup, but they have always been in perfume business and nothing else really. Also other historical niche French brands like E. coudray always produced perfumes and other boudoir products like bath foams and lotions. Personally I am not considering Guerlain designer and I also love their work. What do you think?
@@perfeptions these are great observations I think because they make makeup and are known for makeup it kind of feels like their main purpose but I could be so so wrong about that. It’s also widely available and sold in sephoras etc which could still be niche I guess to me it just feels less niche than other houses
@@CeliaCavalli Guerlain’s main purpose has always been perfumery. This is how they started and it’s why they are famous. Beauty and makeup are a differentiation of their business essentially 🥰
To me Tuberose is a delicate subject as well. I strongly suspect that my sudden love for Tuberose largely depends on my hormones. 😄 I start loving it around my period and then start being more indifferent to it or even hating it.
I always felt that way about Joy. I wore it in the 70s when one of the executives-a Grace Kelly lookalike-wore it every day. My budget was far more limited so I only wore it on special occasions and dates.
Hi Demi,, you are a respected and experienced fragrance reviewer. You are always truthful, there is not the need to pre qualify your statements with ... ' I'm not gonna lie' because there is an implication that truthfulness is not the norm. Similarly if we say 'if I'm being honest with you' or to be totally honest with you' or 'to be honest' ... again those statements are not required because being honest is normal for us.
@@demirawling Hi Demi, anyway who am I to comment. You are a master of your craft and I couldn't come anywhere near to doing as successfully what you do
Herrera Tuberose is the most elegant old money Tuberose perfume followed by Love Tuberose by Amouage I remember I disco eres you reviewing Angelique Noire I do have Bois D Armenie is just sublime magic my favorite from Xerjoff is More than words a truly bold money for mature men and woman is Mitsouko by Guerlain and Santal Blanc from Van Cleef and Arpels Allure is amazing a huge compliment getter and very long lasting I don’t find anything soft about it …

I feel that perfume has to have good chemistry with ones body! Not just any perfume can be worn by anyone!
Exactly
Absolutely!
A little tip for that is spraying it on your clothes instead. It lasts longer and won't be affected by your b.o
@@michellek.w8260 good tip but i can tell you that i sprayed armani's si passione on my shirt and it still stank on me. Good thing it was a sample 🤣🤣
@@etcwhatever Damn!😂😂 Sorry about that. No blind buying for you I guess..😅
I wore Angelique Noir for some time, but to me, Beige from Chanel, is the most sophisticated fragrance ever felt.
My best friend is from old money and Allure is her signature scent. To me, it smells very mature. But she has been rocking it since she was in her 20s.

So basically what Fallon Carrington would smell like ✨

Yesss Guerlain Shalimar is amazing and old money! ❤❤❤❤
Great list, I would add Penhalighons Empressa to that list, it smells incredible
Been my signature scent for the past 3years. Absolutely love it
Agree 100% on the white chocolate vibe of Carlisle - from the Tonka bean- vanilla - nutmeg combo in there When rich smells yummy! Awesome video as always Demi 💰💵💄💄
Off topic but I need a makeup tutorial or list cuz you always look radiant
Im an Allure girl.

Nefs nishane masterpiece
I definitely don't come from old money, but wore Allure on my wedding day 16 years ago. The body cream (if they still make it?) is TDF!
Oh wow…that’s such a stunning choice for a wedding day scent!😍
Allure Sensuelle is also beautiful.
Out of my collection, I would say Chanel beige, Louis Vuitton heures d’absence, and maybe rose prick (vanille fatale for evening) Angelique nior for sure too… effortless class :)

Absolutely
It's crazy how I can smell different fragrances in my room while I'm listening to your description.
Thank you Demi! This is an amazing list. I would add "Love in White" by Creed and Amouqge "Honour" for women as you recommended it years ago.
Yasss I have both I definitely agreed
Is it a white flowers one?
@@antoniadispalato2900 Yes, they are.
Nice list, I def have to try Carlisle! I would add Amouage Honour, Dior Addict and at least one Hermes - many of their perfumes have this old money dna to me.

Oh my, Allure by Chanel! I used to wear Allure 20+ years ago. Hadn’t worn it in almost two decades, recently bought a bottle and have been wearing on and off. I agree with this one smelling “rich” or “from old money” for sure..
IRIS MALIKHAN is the queen of iris scents:
Edgy but lovely 😍
Last week 2 different women asked me what I was wearing it was Xerjoff's Dama Bianca and they both said you really smell good! 🤩
definitely amazing and elegant
It’s soooo beautiful.
It’s like the type of scent that makes you linger on the hug 😂
Need to smell Gris Dior. Thanks to you I have and love Iris Malikhan and Ivory Route! Didn't like Guerlain's Angelique Noire, will give it another try. I have Chanel Allure and need to wear it. Great picks!
Wonderful list Demi! I purchased Ivory Route a few years ago because of you and it is my number one most favorite vanilla of all time!
I wore Allure for years out of high-school. I love it so much❤️❤️❤️
It’s such a classic, timeless scent😩😍
Shalimar is missing here. The real parfum is stunning. Also a very old money fragrance and has been for years.
I would add Tom Ford Eau de Soleil Blanc, not suitable for this list from the first glance, but it is definitely old money lady on the beach vacation somewhere in Spanish Marbella or Monaco, walking on the streets wearing all white, nice hat and designer sunglasses.
Agreed!!! ❤
Angelique Noire and Ivory Route are staples for when you want to feel luxurious 😍
YESSS 😍

Great list, Allure Sensuelle is also beautiful 😍
Excellent video. Thanks again for the fragrance you sent me
Thank you Demi fab list! Tuberoza one of my all time favorites definitely a must have!

Agree Linda Dior Addict EDT is wonderful.
Seems some Dior perfumes or fragrances tend not to last
Gardenia by Chanel is my signature scent which is never mentioned
Chanel perfumes are old money in my opinion 🥰

I smelled Poeme and I HAD to have it sooo classy but ended up giving to my Momma bc the die down just wasn’t for me
OMG, the first fragrance that came to my mind was Gris Dior, as you were pulling out the bottle:)
Thanks so much, loved it.. I love your recommendations, you are my Fragrance Expert.. ❤ And you look amazing all the time..
I own allure and it’s a yes from me I always get compliments and not many people use that perfume here it’s so underrated but long lasting and so alluring .
Agreed re: Ardent. It's opulent but very classy and not spicy or heavy.
No matter what perfume I wear, I will always smell like a middle class girl ‘cause that’s what I am
For me it’s Oud satin mood Extrait and Celine Black tie
I feel like Armani Prive Vert Malachite could be added to this list with all the yellow and white florals?!
I wish we could be friends 😂 Love your content so much. 💖

Armani Rose d'Arbie smells like old money for me :)
That's Chanel Allure EDT which is much more citrusy than the EDP which is more ambery and warm.
I love to watch your channel… so authentically you share information 👌🏻☺️
I love angelique noise
I agree, my gourmands are definitely girly and not elegant but... in these difficult times, even being well ensconced needs a parfum that is an embrace ;) 😉
Boucheron, one of the most beautiful old fragrances.
I've noticed a lot of iris in here (or orris root I guess?). I'd say my number one note in fragrances. Some people comment that I smell like an old lady when I wear iris (for example, "Love, Chloe"), but I guess I just smell like old money!! 😅

In my country stranger guys just don't compliment your perfume in a public place, so it means he really, really liked it.
Awesome video Demi!!!! I kind of giggled at allure being on this list because it was my teenager perfume. Loved it then… although still pleasing I like the more sexy perfumes now. I may try a few of your suggestions by ordering samples . Thanks!!!
I really enjoyed this video Demi! Now I’ve got to try Ivory Route and Volutes!💕
So so happy for that video, watching this before going to work, putting me in a great mood, going to be wearing Gris Dior today! (I'm on my second coffee 🤣) Bonne journée Demi from South of France 💕!
Thanks for the terrific video! 💜
Oh no! I thought Athalia would be part of the list. I think it smells like velvet gloves, and everyone who's smelled it on me seems to like it. No surprise on Diptyque, the whole line smells like old money for sure
Angelique Noire is definitely my favorite from the line!
Also spirtuese double vanille.
So so good!
Guerlain is probably my favorite designer line.
I wonder why many consider Guerlain designer, true they sell other boudoir products like lotions and makeup, but they have always been in perfume business and nothing else really. Also other historical niche French brands like E. coudray always produced perfumes and other boudoir products like bath foams and lotions. Personally I am not considering Guerlain designer and I also love their work. What do you think?
@@perfeptions these are great observations I think because they make makeup and are known for makeup it kind of feels like their main purpose but I could be so so wrong about that.
It’s also widely available and sold in sephoras etc which could still be niche I guess to me it just feels less niche than other houses
Angelique Noir and Cuir Beluga are my favorites in this Guerlain line, but I also really liked this year's new Cherry Oud.❤
@@CeliaCavalli Guerlain’s main purpose has always been perfumery. This is how they started and it’s why they are famous. Beauty and makeup are a differentiation of their business essentially 🥰
@@perfeptions thanks for the insight! I did not know ☺️
To me Tuberose is a delicate subject as well. I strongly suspect that my sudden love for Tuberose largely depends on my hormones. 😄 I start loving it around my period and then start being more indifferent to it or even hating it.
Hahahaha yes!!! Me too I think 😂❤
Hi this is Latonya I drink coffee everyday before I go to work my favorite is iced coffee vanilla
I always felt that way about Joy. I wore it in the 70s when one of the executives-a Grace Kelly lookalike-wore it every day. My budget was far more limited so I only wore it on special occasions and dates.
Radical Rose is indeed gorgeuos on the skin
Yesss! Took me a while to love it but now I’m obsessed 😂❤️
I think that a lot of Creed fragrances fall into this category.
Amouge also masterpiece
Can you please make a video about NYE perfumes? 🎊 🎉
Oooh looking forward to this!
Hi Demi,, you are a respected and experienced fragrance reviewer. You are always truthful, there is not the need to pre qualify your statements with ... ' I'm not gonna lie' because there is an implication that truthfulness is not the norm. Similarly if we say 'if I'm being honest with you' or to be totally honest with you' or 'to be honest' ... again those statements are not required because being honest is normal for us.
I agree! It’s an annoying habit that I have but it’s very common for Australians to use those phrases 😅
@@demirawling Hi Demi, anyway who am I to comment. You are a master of your craft and I couldn't come anywhere near to doing as successfully what you do
For me patchouli smells of money. So I would add coromandel from Chanel to your list
Yes I agree!! 😍
Hi this is LaTonya great video as always love your Channel
I think HSW from Nishane is more suitable for this list or maybe I just hate predominant tubrose in fragrances 😂
Radical rose was the same for me 💕 started with a tester and now I want it 😂
Herrera Tuberose is the most elegant old money Tuberose perfume followed by Love Tuberose by Amouage I remember I disco eres you reviewing Angelique Noire I do have Bois D Armenie is just sublime magic my favorite from Xerjoff is More than words a truly bold money for mature men and woman is Mitsouko by Guerlain and Santal Blanc from Van Cleef and Arpels Allure is amazing a huge compliment getter and very long lasting I don’t find anything soft about it …
