🌟 About this video
This tag is the Solo Dolo tag, which highlights the fragrances in your collection for which you only own one from the brand. I realised that I have quite a few of these in my perfume collection and that a lot of hyped fragrances seem to be "one hit wonders" for brands, so in this video, I show you 15 of these perfumes and try to explain why I only own one from those fragrance brands and tell you whether I am interesting in owning more.

When I first saw Solo Dolo in the title, I thought for a moment it's a perfume house ( like Sora Dora😂), and I was like " Why do I know nothing about it?" 😅
Nice video, as always, Claire!❤
🤣 I'd probably think something similar to be fair! Thanks ❤️ and have a great week 🥰
It's been so long since we had a video. I'm looking forward to seeing the lonely scents you have
Haha, thanks Jon 😂 I missed you too! ☺️
I have E&J Nirvana Black, and I love it. The Lattafa you mentioned is my favorite Lattafa in my collection. It smells a lot like By the Fireplace on me. Agent Provocateur Intense is so sexy on me. A “boxer dropper”, as it were.
Yes I agree, I retired By the Fireplace a few times a few weeks ago and it struck me just how similar they are! Agent Provocateur fragrances are really interesting for sure 😉
@@dr.claire.perfume 😎❤️🔥
Hello I'm Jason! Thanks for having me in ur channel
Hello again ☺️ have a fab week 🥰
Absolutely love L'Interdit Rouge! I love the spiciness, and this fragrance lasts FOREVER! I like that the ginger does seem to last throughout the life of the fragrance for me. It's really strong in the opening and settles down quite a bit in the dry down, but I appreciate that I can still smell it. I also have a small bottle of the L'Interdit Intense, so those are the only Givenchy fragrances I own. 😊
Oh the intense is lovely too! I debated for a long while about which to get! 😂 Have a fab week! 🥰
Ah, my junior high girlfriend wore Sunflowers, it was relatively new back then! Very 90s to me, but not bad at all.
I've heard older Lattafa fragrances are not nearly as good as what they put out now. I have Lattafa Qaed al Fursan and it's one of my favorites. Pineapple and saffron are the main bits, unisex in an interesting almost genderless way. I'm about to enter my Middle Eastern era honestly lol. You should join us!
Also thank you kindly for the thoughtful reply a few vids back, I'm taking your mum's words of wisdom to heart and am allowing myself a little Lattafa. As a treat :)
I think I'd be happy to sample some more Lattafas, but I just don't want to blind buy them, I'm sure there are some gems though, especially now they are more established.
Aah good, a treat now and then is a good thing ☺️ thanks for watching 🥰
Your video made me realize that I have some favourite perfume houses for instance Dior, lancome, Givenchy and I tend to avoid others especially Versace and dolce and gabanna.
Yes, I'd agree with that these days for me too. I used to own a few from Versace but I either finished them or decluttered them, I only have crystal noir left now. Dolce and Gabbana, I only have one left now I think 🤔 and even that is on the chopping block. Some houses you just learn aren't for you, it just takes time sometimes. 🥰
I have a soft spot for Margiela and Olfactive Studio, but other than that, mine are all singles. I have owned and used up 4 different Bath Houses though!
Enjoyed this vid ❤x
I have two from Fragonard and two from Chopard too 🤗
Yes! Those are five brands that I really appreciate too, they are really lovely. I especially like Chopard, Fragonard and Olfactive Studio. I also like the aesthetics of those brands too ☺️ I always find it really interesting to see which brands I own most or least of, it's weirdly a bit of a surprise to me. 🤣
Hi ! Cerruti also owns a legendary French House Jean Louis Scherrer that created beautiful classics like JL Scherrer 2 and les Nuits Indiennes/ Indian Nights that I really enjoy. Greetings from Paris 🗼
Thanks for the information, I've never heard of them 😱 I will look them up! Thanks for watching 🥰
I always dip in and out of fragrance TH-cam, but really glad to have found your channel recently. You bring up perfumes I've not heard talked of elsewhere and have me wanting to try ones I would have wrote off before.
Thank you! ❤️ That's lovely to read! Have a fab Friday ☺️
Watching while doing housework. . A lovely relaxing accompaniment. . 👀
I know you enjoy that 😜 please come do mine!
Hi Claire! I’m team This is her. Love this one! I own many solo such as Café Cabanel or Dom Rosa for which I hope to add a sister with Blanche Bête… if I can find a deal. Some brands are almost auto buy such as Miss Dior or La vie est belle flankers… 😅 Have a great weekend!
Thank Julie! Did you get Miss Dior Parfum there yet? Mmm yes, cafe cabanel is lovely! LVEB have such a range now 😱 do you have all of them?! If so, wow!
@@dr.claire.perfume Miss Dior is not in yet! 😣 Yes, I do have a few flankers of LVEB… 😬 Soleil Crystal, Intensément, En rose, Iris, Oui, L’Éclat edt and the new L’Extrait will be added to my collection soon. In my opinion it’s the most beautiful one yet!
@@julieg_quebec-julesselivre8641 I really liked l'extrait when I tried it in store actually! I reviewed it on Fragrantica ☺️
@@dr.claire.perfumeI don’t know how to find people on Frangrantica! 🤫
@@julieg_quebec-julesselivre8641 oh it's really complicated 🤣 I'm qofb on there cos I wanted to be a little anonymous. If you want to find someone, I'd google it cos it's not obvious at all and I constantly forget how to do it 🙈
I love your content. So good.
Thank you 🥰
What a great video idea! I absolutely love how you describe these fragrances 😍
Thank you 😊
I really enjoyed this video and do have quite a few random fragrances
Have a great weekend ❤
Thank Frances, you too! 🥰
Interesting video!
Much love from germany 😊❤
Thank you! Love back from the UK. 🥰
Thank you for sharing your video Claire! 😘 🌹
Thanks for kinda tagging me 😉
@@dr.claire.perfume Lol, you're welcome, lol.
🥰
Such a fun tag beautiful friend 💕
Thank you 😊
I really enjoyed seeing your solo dolo fragrances! I have been wanting the one by Agent Provacateur ❤️❤️
Yes! I guess those will be gone soon. I just tried something that really reminded me of fatale Intense actually. I would love to try electric and the blue bomb fragrance, I can't remember what it's called 🤦♀️ Lace?
Hello claire, love the tiramisu note on floral street 🥧💜
Chloe nomade has been on my wishlist i might include it on my next purchase, im drawn into clean scent these days.
Enjoyed the video 🙂💜
I think the flankers of Nomade are for sure worth checking out too, a lot of people love the Absolue and the Naturelle. I went to Italy recently and I wore Ylang ylang espresso a lot there 😋 thanks for watching Rin! I hope you are well. ☺️
Hi Claire 🤗 I’ve been spraying Royale layered with TF Noir pour femme divine! ❤ wow you mentioned sunflowers I still have mine it brings back so many wonderful memories! We share many solo fragrances 🤣 I’ve never even thought about which ones are alone lol I’m going to look through and see who needs a partner!😉
Oh yes! Definitely do the tag 😊 that sounds a great combo 🥰
I agree about the Elizabeth and James scents. I have Amethyst and French Grey and I do prefer Amethyst. It's very nice and I picked them up at a good price a while back. I think I'd like Nirvana Bourbon as well. I would love to try SJP Stash and some of the others like the All Saints fragrances but I've never seen them here. Thank you Claire and have a wonderful weekend.
You too! Ooh Grey always intrigued me too, but not as much as Bourbon and Black. I feel like I could have easily bought all of them 🤣
Do you have All Saints clothing where you are? The brand has faded significantly in the UK from where it was 10-15 years ago, but is still around. Thanks for watching 🥰
We do have All Saints clothing and I really like them! Love their bags too and my son loves their men’s items. :)).
@@mnop1774 yes the leather was where it was at with them! Their bags and jackets are 👌
I, too, had no idea what "solo dolo" meant😅
Great video, Claire!🥰
Glad it's not just me 😂 thank you ❤️
Good morning Clare ❤☕️
Morning Frances ☺️
Good morning from British Columbia! I have quite a few one offs. They include Cerruti 1881 ( which I acquired thanks to your recommendation!), JLo “Still”, Joop! “le Bain”, Hanae Mori “Butterfly”, and Miller Harris “ Rose en Rose”. All of the latter are such unique, lovely fragrances. I used to own quite a few Elizabeth Arden perfumes, but I’m left with Green Tea only, which I wear occasionally. Now I find it too sharp, and the others simply became unappealing to my nose. They are nice fragrances, but I think my preferences evolved. I don’t like any Paco Rabin fragrances - I cannot explain why, just not my thing. Thank you for an interesting video.
I managed to try Green Tea yesterday at an airport, I can't say it grabbed me. I liked the beginning but by 5 mins in when the zing faded, I was less interested.
I've not tried many of the others that you list actually, just le bain and still.
I agree with you about Paco Rabanne. They aren't me either 😂 thanks for watching 🥰
I need to pull out my L'Interdit Rouge because it’s so beautiful
It's lovely in the cooler weather for sure!
Stash is amazing, why did they discontinue such a gem 🥴
I don't know. I can only guess it was the handover between Coty and the Lovely company and some issue with formulations 🤷♀️ or perhaps a regulatory change, it must have been a bestseller for sure!
Haven’t really found any brands that I love numerous fragrances in their line. I am interested to explore Mind Games because I watched the perfumer talk about the individual fragrances, some of the natural ingredient sources, how they support the community that does the work etc. Very pricey brand but I can get decants to enjoy if there are ones I really enjoy. I must admit I did gasp a little at the black cherry note on French Defense and so my family got me a full bottle. Got a decant of Lionora and am enjoying that too. 🤷🏻♀️
If you do find you enjoy naturals, April Aromatics is another very distinctive brand. I've not heard of Mind Games. I will look them up 🙂 and wow I love cherry 😍
Hi Claire! I clicked fast 😅 love tags 😻
Yes me too! I seem to be being tagged a lot recently 😂
@@dr.claire.perfume Are you surprised??? 😆❤️❤️
Well yes 🤣 I guess I usually do them though so maybe that's it?!
@@dr.claire.perfume We love your videos 😍😍😍 Thank you ☕❤️
Thank you 😊
You have a really nice broad spectrum of perfumes. I like that they're not all super hyped trendy perfumes. You have curious about the Coach perfume. Looks like you favor the designer brands rather than niche fragrances.
I think my collection reflects me having tried lots of fragrance and having bought a lot at the start, when I was overexcited and naive, without too much thought. I'm still trying to declutter and use up fragrances as a result, as I ideally want a much smaller collection of only things that I truly love. I am not a ruthless declutterer though, so this process is taking me a while. 😂
I think the designer fragrances that I have are generally older ones, I rarely love new releases these days. I think when it comes to niche, I've realised that indie is where it's at and that is also cheaper. I really could count niche brands that I appreciate on two hands, for the price point, I expect something to blow me away much more. Also for this video, I limited myself to bigger brands, because of course you are likely to have more singles from indie houses. I am now trying to just sample and not buy as much to help me to reduce my collection a little this year. Thanks for watching 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume I like your approach to perfumes. I'm so glad I found your channel. So what is the difference between "indie" perfume and niche? I thought anything that was not a designer brand was automatically niche. Is Swedish designer Maya Njie niche or independent? You have me curious now. I appreciate your comment about price point and niche fragrances. I don't understand when/how/why so-called niche fragrances are charging $200 or up to $600 and more. I understand youtube/tiktok have changed the game. But there is a madness to it. People are spending (I'm guilty) thousands of dollars on "smelly/fragrant water." Most of them don't last a couple hours. The middle eastern fragrances are the exception. But they're noticing people are willing to drop serious money, so they are raising they're starting to raise their prices. Designer brands are paying attention too. I wonder sometimes if designer brands aren't buying up niche houses/fragrances and relabeling them.The business of perfumery is a whole other topic. In the end I think your approach makes the most sense. A lot of my tastes were formed from when I was a teenager and that was aeons ago. I find myself drifting back to the classic designers. My goal is to whittle my collection down to 20 -- and then eventually 10! I have about 60. That's way too much. Samples are a whole other debate. You have a wonderful channel. Keep it up!
Thanks! Basically some niche is indie, all indie is niche. Indie is smaller brands, employing very few people, where the brand owner is also the perfumer. As far as I know, Maya Njie is indie, but I don't really know much about that brand. The categorisation is ridiculous really. The lines aren't solidly drawn, same with designer / niche.
I think prices are crazy for many brands. There are some "niche" I appreciate, older Kilian, older Frederic Malle. Obviously these are now Estée Lauder so are they niche any more 🤣 I really struggle with PDM, BDK, Initio, Goldfield and Banks as they use so much ambrox. But that's just personal taste. Lots of people love them.
Middle Eastern fragrances, like Amouage I appreciate. I think with the cheaper brands, I have learnt to be selective as so many of them are unwearable for me, but there are some nice ones. In future, I'm not blind buying Lattafa or Afnan. It's just not worth the risk of me not enjoying them, however cheap they are. 😂
Ooh thanks for tagging. . I'll have to narrow it down too 😳. . Although maybe i can just about get 23 into one video 🤔.
If i waffle less anyway
Yeah, I had over 30 I think, I felt like even 15 was slightly overkill... Definitely good to be selective!
You know I love Fatale Intense! ❤️❤️❤️ I also have a sample of Ultraviolet, I remember talking to Ruby about that one! it's unique and I'm glad I've gotten to sniff it 😊 I finally gave away my Cerruti 1881 this past weekend when my friends came over. I had already technically decluttered it, but it was still in the house. I've slowly been selling a few and giving away most of the ones I decluttered, eventually they'll all be rehomed! 🥰
Fatale intense is a bargain ❤️ I miss Ruby, I hope she comes back! Ultraviolet is definitely unique, the old version is so so strong too 🤣 I'm happy 1881 found a new home ☺️ thanks for watching 🥰
Hello Claire, wow might I say right off the top I love your eyeshadow today! So lovely for you and makes your eyes so bright very pretty! I also love your pullover soft grey! Not sure if I have ever tried any of these fragrances but I am sure that probably does not surprise you! lol. You would have a great laugh if I gave you a tour of my very limited fragrances lol. Sour milk is not a fragrance that I rushing to try ..... : ) This is a crazy question but have you tried any of the Nest fragrances? There is one there I really like and if you have a play list for any of the Nest fragrances I would be interested in hearing what you thought of them... Have a great week ahead!
Thank you Denise! I've not tried them sadly, I know they are available online here and also at Anthropologie, but I've never seen them there to try. If I do and I enjoy them, I will get a discovery set and review them. ☺️ Thanks for watching, have a fab week! 😊
I actually wore 5th Ave Royale today when we went out for a walk in the snow! I layered it with E & J Nirvana Amethyst and it was quite a nice combo 🥰🖤💜
Now you're talking about Nirvana Amethyst! I wasn't expecting that, so cool! 😄
Gosh that does sound a lovely combination! I've worn 5th Avenue Royale with Kayali Lovefest, but I'm not sure that combination works that well...
I hope very so you find a Lattafa fragrance that works for you.
I have to try All Saints sounds lovely
Thanks! I need to test a few. Blind buys are off limits though. I would definitely recommend trying All Saints fragrances. They have some nice ones. ☺️
Amazing ❤ 20:18
Thank you 🥰
Hey Claire! Thank you so much for tagging me. I literally just filmed my video before I knew you tagged me.
Aah no worries, sorry I've not been around much, I'm in mega stress over a job interview, I should be back next week though 🙂
@@dr.claire.perfume I hope you get the job 🙏🏽and no worries. I just went through a long interview process. I start my new position next week. I’m so thankful for the job but the process was stressful. 😩
It was my plan to do the tag a week ago but I’ve been out sick. I’m trying to get back in the rhythm of recording.
It's feeling like a slog for sure. I have to really try to get this. I will kick myself if I don't do everything that I can.
Glad you are feeling better. It's horrible being ill, especially when you've not prefilmed... It makes me stress... 🤦♀️ It's ridiculous 😂
@@dr.claire.perfume praying you get the job.
I get stressed too so I get it 💜
Yes... It's all consuming 🤦♀️ thank you 🥰
I do enjoyed dis moment
Thank you 🥰
Cerruti 1881 is a hidden gem, so unique, wonderful, you described it perfectly🌼😍.
Zadig&Voltaire's This Is Her gave me severe migraines, there is something in it, that makes me feel ill😔😢 I tend only to buy same house when it comes to Chanel, because I love their "DNA": so elegant, wonderful💖 Other brands I am very picky, I do not collect flankers, I only buy if I love♥️
I hope you are having a happy Sunday evening ! Wishing you a blessed new week!💖
I totally get it with this is her, it's very dense and synthetic feeling.
I think I understand the Chanel obsession now. Once I got one, I was hooked 🙂
I was Italy last week, in Rome! I thought of you! 😊
@@dr.claire.perfume yes, you are so right ! Next time in Italy come to Bologna if you have time, I'd like to meet you !!!🥰💛
Ooh yes, I will! ☺️
White tea from Elizabeth Arden is one I’d like to try
I managed to try Green Tea finally yesterday! I'm still looking for white tea 🙂
Hi. I'd say try the original. I blindbought the vanilla Orchid flanker and didn't enjoy it as much as the original... White and Green Tea have bodyspray longevity at best, unfortunately.
Oh! Well yes, Green tea lasted less than an hour on me the other day. I will try White Tea. ☺️
Loved this tag. I'm not brand loyal at all. I have lots of singles because I don't buy flankers. I like to explore and dip my toes into different brands.
I definitely used to be someone who didn't ever buy flankers either. I don't know what happened 🤣 I remember always thinking, well if it's not a separate fragrance, then is it worth it?! I know that's crazy because there are some fab flankers out there, but there are also a lot of duds! I also like to try lots of different things, so I have loads of solos! ☺️ Thanks for watching 🥰
Also congrats on 6k
Thank you 🥰
You should try Givenchey Ange ou demon it is absolutely gorgeous never ever fails to get compliments
I have a 5ml sample of the original formulation and love it, I've been looking for a vintage bottle of it and have bid a few times and not got it. I heard the new version is a little different, do you agree with that or do you think they are similar? 🥰
Hi Claire. I tend to buy a lot from the same house when I love 1, 2, 3... of them. If I love every one I buy, I tend to buy more. But I also have "solos" or "duos" from specific brands. I have one of: Chanel, Ferragamo, Tom Ford (others are dupes), Phlur, McQueen, SJP, etc.
Yes me too! If I really love one, I tend to explore others and hope that I find another love! If I love a few I explore even more, like with the Reminiscence fragrances. Just like you, I've also only ever had one Ferragamo fragrance. Thanks for watching and have a good week. 🥰
@dr.claire.perfume Fell in love pretty hard with Serge Lutens and Xerjoff... And must say I really enjoyed sampling many Giardini di Toscana, Une Nuit Nomade and Simone Andreoli... But only bought Bianco Latte so far.
I have sampled 3/4 Serge Lutens, I was waiting to get a few more before I made a video. They are nice 🙂 I've still not tried a single Xerjoff 🤷♀️ I'm intrigued to know what Bianco latte is about, the hype must be for some reason 😂
@@dr.claire.perfume Gosh! If you were a little closer, I'd gladly send samples... (never tried though)
Bianco Latte is a rich potent vanilla caramel mix (musky also). I like that I don't get a burnt sugar in it... Reminds me of Accident à la Vanille (without the burnt sugar note I kind of get in that one), muskier and beastmode! 3 sprays is a lot!
Aah ok! That's interesting, sounds like something to try 😊
Cerruti 1881 has been my signature scent since I was 18 in the 90s. I’ll always have a bottle. They released a new one late 2023 - Cerruti Rev De Roses. It looks exclusive to the perfume shop in the UK. I’m very interested and will try if I can 😊
Ooh what a fab signature! It's such a distinctive but loveable fragrance ☺️ and wow, I will also go to try that new one! Thanks for letting me know about it! 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume It’ll take a lot to beat the original 😊
@@RD-um1tc yes, it's a classic now ☺️
@@dr.claire.perfume hey Claire, I passed a Perfume Shop today so tried the new 1881. On a card it smells good - pretty and summery (I am not good at describing scent!) on me it smells peppery and quite masculine - could be unisex. It’s not for me - guess I’ve saved myself some money! I’d love to hear what you think when you test.
I will definitely have to go! Sounds good! 👍
I have a lot of solo scents, and they are mainly ones that were given to me.. 😊 i think i have the tendency to buy a “companion” for the solo perfumes I buy 😂
Yeah no one wants a lonely fragrances 🤣 also some brands give discounts or offers if you buy two, or you get free shipping, so it's sometimes making sense in my head at least 🤣
I tend to have a lot of solo perfumes, although I haven't officially taken stock. Maybe I have more multiples in each brand than I realize..🤔 Have you tried the new one from Z & V, This is Really Her? I've seen a couple of reviews and I'm still not sure what it's meant to smell like 😅
I haven't! I've realised that there is one shop here that generally have Zadig and Voltaire testers when nowhere else seems to, so I will check there when I next pass by it! I am interested to smell it ☺️
You didn't want to smell like whiskey at work? Shocking!
I'm quite loyal to Juliette has a Gun at the moment. I think five scents that include two full bottles. Also I like Gucci Bloom and Bloom Aqcua di Fiore. Everything else is solo dolo, although I'd be open to trying more from Dior, Floral Street, and Miu Miu. I love FS's Neon Rose. Anything with galbanum attracts my interest. Thanks again for another video!
Haha 😅 yeah not my look 🤣
JHAG I've struggled with, but if you are a lucky person who doesn't hate or get bothered by ambroxan, they are a very interesting brand. I went to try them because I really loved their branding and packaging, the fragrances really look so exciting and inviting to try!
I also have Bloom Acqua Di Fiori and I actually would love Ambrosia too! I tried it and fell in love, I need to find it at a good price.
Galbanum is an interesting note, very yellowy green fields and sunshine. It's distinctive! Did you try Chanel No19, that is a tonne of galbanum! Thanks for watching
@@dr.claire.perfume I completely understand about JHAG. The DNA is odd (even to me) and not for everyone. So, when I say, sniff their Lady Vengeance if you have the opportunity, I don't expect you to love it or even want it. But you've mentioned patchouli in the past, and it's very unique, I think, in their house. Rose/patchouli. Have a nice week!
Oh yes! The DNA is molecular I think. I sniffed Lady Vengeance because it was my friend's absolute favourite! I think it's a split opinion with that one amongst most JHAG fans though as it's quite different to their others 🙂
Wow a free bottle of Jo Malone! Nice
It was insane, I really did a double take and wondered whether it was a scam 😂
I have mostly Dior Privee, Chanel mainstream and esclusifs, Jo Malone, and Guerlain aqua allegoria line, ne. A few Diptyque perfumes. I just got into guerlain nd haven’t tried more of their exclusive high end perfumes.. I’m looking at double spiritus vanille, Angelique Noir, and Mon Guerlain 😍
Guerlain have some great ones, but I think a lot of people are disappointed by their reformulations of late sadly. My local Guerlain counter closed a few months back so I've not tried anything for a while, but I own 5 Guerlains, they are a fab house. 🙂 Diptyque I love too, I'm still wondering whether to go for Orphéon... Dior Privée I have three left. And Chanel, I have three of their main line and some precious samples of their exclusifs. These are all really lovely houses 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume oh Orpheion is a good scent definitely worth going for. I also like Rose edt, and 34 blvd. Saint Germaine 💕
Ok 😊 thanks for the advice 🥰
Hi Claire! I have been trying to find 5th Avenue Royale and it’s completely gone 😢
I know! And if you do find a secondhand one, people are trying it on for £50 when it was £15 originally 🤦♀️ I have no idea why that was discontinued, it is so good!
I think you would like Elizabeth Arden Green Tea. It’s a beautiful refreshing Green Tea fragrance. Nice and cool for summer time.
Weirdly I actually tried it at the airport on Friday! I really liked the fresh beginning but it faded quickly on me sadly.
@@dr.claire.perfume I can definitely see that happening. I gave mine to my daughter a few years ago because the smell brought back bad memories.
Oh that's not good, but I hope she enjoys it 😊
@@dr.claire.perfume she loves it💜
👍
Lattafa has improved. Time to explore, trust me 😊😂
Yes I should probably give them another go... I just don't want to end up decluttering a lot of things. I'd rather sample ☺️
My bottle of Chloe Nomade is, sadly, almost empty too Claire. I have Nomade Absolu if you'd like me to send you a decant. I'd say it is more fruity and less fresh than the OG. Please let me know.
I can see both sides re This Is Her. 40% of me loves it but the other 60% wants to throw up! Never had that love it/hate it with any other fragrance 🤷
Have a lovely weekend 💖
How weird?! 😂 This is exactly how I feel sometimes with this is her. I sometimes absolutely can't stomach it and then at other times I only want to wear that fragrance and nothing else! 🤣
I am testing soleil de capris and Soleil Vibrant today ☺️ thank you! I've tried the absolu so I won't trouble you for a sample... I'm not sure which to get next actually... I do wear Nomade to work quite a lot 🤔 thanks for watching 🥰
Glad to know I'm not the only one! Very strange indeed.
I hope you like a few of the decants. I don't usually enjoy orange blossom fragrances but I find Soleil Vibrant such a happy uplifting scent. I'm liking Stash; I wouldn't have pegged it as a celebrity fragrance. Very different from all the generic designer fragrances nowdays.
I imagine that Chloe Nomade is an excellent work fragrance. When I wore it the first time my daughter said I smelt like a very expensive upmarket hotel. I think that was a compliment 😂
I tried the Mancera the other day, I could smell it for two days! 🤣 Yes Stash I seem to enjoy more and more! I have begun to smell the creaminess in it, the roasted coconut kind of feeling to it.
Yes it's fab for work and haha, I know what your daughter meant 😂 clean and classy. 👍
Ooh I'll have to spray some French Riviera on to see if it lasts that long on me. Hopefully it's macerated since last summer 🤞
Did you think it was a bit sharp or not lasting long enough? 🤔
I finished 30 ml of Jo Malone Pomegranate noir!
It's really lovely 😍
I'd be curious to watch a video of the brands you have the most perfumes from and why.
Ok, I will add it to the list! Thanks for watching, have a fab week 🥰
I like scent profile of Nirvana Bourbon, but it is so quiet on me...
Yes they aren't the loudest sadly. Nirvana Amethyst is also a quiet one.
Ola amiga tudo bem com você parabéns saúde felicidades pra você sucesso
Thank you ☺️
I released I want 30ml bottle of Chloe Naturelle 😊
I don't think the nuit d'egypt flanker has had the greatest reviews, so when I finish my bottle of Nomade, I may join you with Naturelle! ☺️
Elizabeth Arden has quite a few good perfumes. I don’t think you’d be disappointed. I probably have plenty of solo perfumes from middle eastern brands and the other end of the spectrum in price. Like Tizianna Terenzi and Tom Ford.
That's interesting isn't it? I guess with Middle Eastern ones, there are some houses that are one hit wonders on TH-cam and people grab those ones but no others. Like me and Rare Tiffany with Afnan. I think I have 4 Tom Ford fragrances, but none from TT, I would love to get either a dupe of Noir de Noir like CDNI woman, or a partial bottle of the original. ☺️ Which Tom Ford and TT do you have?
@@dr.claire.perfume I used to have TF Tobacco Vanille but passed it on to my son. Right now my Tom Ford is the original formulation of Cafe Rose, I haven't smelled the reformulation but the notes don't call to me. I have TT Kirke but have a wish list of others from the house. I have placed an order for a Francesca Bianchi fragrance so that will be another solo; (Sex and the Sea)
@@playsintraffic2 that sounds exciting, her fragrances really intrigue me, I need to try them all 😊 I hope you enjoy them. I would love to try the original cafe rose too. I feel the reformulation release was underwhelming for me.
Love linteedit rouge ultime or extreme, sorry whatever the stronger version is called, i find this one cheapie smelling ,i must have thr fussiest of fussy noses because too odten i just cant agree with peoples tastes. I love nomade nuitbd'egypte, and nomade. Sorry for typos, too lazy to redo. I just received my ultraviolet!!+ yes its pretty, i was unsure how it would go, and now I am soncurious about all thr other scents in this uktraviolet line like ultrared, and boreal.
Ultraviolet is a very interesting one and I just finished my bottle of Nomade, I wore it to work a lot. Thanks for watching 🥰
Hello. I subscribed to your channels and liked 212.
Thanks for watching and subbing 🥰
Now that I think about it , everything in my collection are solos except for a few dedcool fragrances, 2 by margiela and the 2 moschino fragrances I have for their novelty bottles 😅
Oh yes! Moschino have some head scratchers in the bottle design arena 🤣 I used to have a few from them, but I finished the last one last year.
@@dr.claire.perfume I have Toy 🧸 the literal teddy bear proudly displayed, and I also have Fresh the one that looks like a windex bottle . They’re just so fun .
@@dr.claire.perfume which one did you finish ?
@@baby.nay. Moschino Funny, toy2 and toy2 bubblegum, my favourite was Funny. 😊
Oh, I need Givenchy intense if you told it's boozy 😊
I think it's pretty hard to find now sadly as I think that whole line might be discontinued now 🤔 I'm not sure...
I don't think I've tried an all saints one. Does the shop still exist?
The Z&V 😅 yes I struggled with that one. It's certainly unique.
Yes that FS Ylang one is really quite nice isn't it. Not bad from them at all. Ooo so u want a few, that is a good sign.
That Lizzie Arden one is rather lovely, yes I discovered that from Smelly Sam. I agree it's very unexpected. I wouldn't say all "popular" fragrances are "good" 🤣
Coach is definitely a brand I've never got on with. You're very optimistic that spring will ever come 😂. I think I'd tried this one.
Yes I only have one full bottle of JM and I think that will remain like that forever. Not the biggest fan but this one is gorgeous.
The EJ one is rather nice. I think the range is quite good isn't it.
Yes 😊 you do like that Floris. They have some quite lovely ones. But I get you not being crazy over White Rose 🤣🐮.
One Lataffa too many 🤣🤣 you've worn absolutely loads of it too 😱. I think I may have sniffed it. The PTSD counselling probably removed the memory 🤣.
Yes Stash is a good one. And I do think you've been quite a fan of SJP. You'll definitely suit thst.
Yes Nomad is one I definitely associate with you and it wasn't bad at all. Very you ❤️.
I only own one Givenchy too. And what a fantastic one you went for. It is very nice.
Ah yes Ruby, she needs to come back. Yes ultra violet is so very 90s. The bottle is cool. I gave away my one PR. Lady Million 😆😆 oh dear.
Do Agent P still make what they are famous for? And I think I've sniffed a couple and I honestly didn't hate them. Not bad ones at all.
I did enjoy it, that ended too quick. Looking very fresh there too 😊. I will need to watch again
All Saints do still exist 🤷♀️ their aesthetic is very 2010 though isn't it? And they are very expensive! Their fragrances aren't bad.
Haha, I know you and this is her weren't best buds, but I like it 🤷♀️ it's probably not the best choice for the lactose intolerant amongst us.
Floral Street feel like they've got worse as they've gone along for me. Their original fragrances were really good and interesting, the newer ones not so much, just lots of ambroxan.
I can imagine you struggling with Coach, there's nothing natural about Coach EDP, it's good though if you don't mind that. It does smell pleasant and clean. It's a crowd pleaser.
I can see how people get swept up in Jo Malone, I had that store consultation the other week and initial impressions were good. But later on, whilst I found some of their fragrances pleasant, I didn't feel that excited by them.
Jon, I've smelt a lot of Lattafas, that one is the least offensive of the lot. ☺️ I would have zero qualms in decluttering it if I never wore it.
Mmm Stash! I love that!
I'm not sure about Agent Provocateur, I assume they are still going? I didn't see any advertising recently though 🤔
Paco Rabanne are a very different target group to us now I think, we are probably 20 years too old 🤣 sorry I know fragrance is ageless but I think experience makes you realise that Paco Rabanne is perhaps not the cultural height of perfumery. Thanks for watching 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume😱 I know you're still clearly in your 20s but come on I'm not that far past it 😉. But yes they are for people who lovely sparkly things 😂.
All Saints used to be next door to French Connection in Leeds didn't it... I know which I went in 😂. All Saints was a bit like GAP for me, the posh shop for chavs trying to branch out. But All Saints was I suppose in it's own way more "edgey" for people without an edge... Well like me 😂.
I don't think it's safe to own more than one Lataffa at once... Could. Cause some severe damage
Now it's opposite... But I think FC shut?! I think I only had one thing ever from All Saints and nothing at all from FC. A few cardigans and jeans from GAP though before they closed. I'll admit it was a struggle to find much I loved there. It was all very plain. FC was very clingy from memory 😂
@@dr.claire.perfume come on, young Jon wore lots of skin tight things before the growth of the moobs and gnome belly 🤣
I've seen the photo evidence! 😉
😊😊😊
Thanks for watching 🥰
⚘️⚘️⚘️
🥰
I click on the video so fast
Thank you 🥰 hope you are well ❤️
My comments keep getting deleted for some reason 🤔 happened last week too
Weird! I'm sorry, I will check filtered and see if it's there. YT keep changing what gets filtered and what not. Stuff even appears and disappears weeks later 🤷♀️
Ok, I checked and there wasn't anything to approve. Apologies that YT is a little overzealous 🤷♀️ it's annoying!
@@dr.claire.perfume It’s no bother. I usually do those string comments for every video so I was horrified when I realised it had gone 😂😂
Oh that's annoying. I sometimes do that, but I copy it too cos I've had that happen and yes, it's incredibly frustrating 🤦♀️
Obession Might for women smells like pencil shavings. What makes that fragrance?
Obession Night , women
I haven't tried it so I can't comment based on how it smells to me, but the notes list cashmeran and sandalwood. So cashmeran can come off as lightly peppery and sandalwood, which is likely to be synthetic here, as sandalwood is super pricey to use, gives that creamy woods feel or can make it smell like a blond wood. I think the combination of the two could be giving you the pencil shavings. Hope that helps. 🥰
He's not a great person video, I watch him, I don't even care about his videos.
Who? 🙂
Pomegranate Noir is beautiful. I don’t own a bottle but have smelled it at the store. The black bottle line has much better performance. You might find some that you really enjoy 🫶🫶
Funny you say that! I had a consultation in store last Saturday and really enjoyed it! I really liked the jasmine one in the black bottle and mimosa and cardamom too in the clear bottles. I didn't try more than about 5 fragrances though. I need to go again and try more ☺️
Hi Claire - I LOVE 🩷💛 💜 Ylang Ylang Espresso - agree it’s 100% distinctive and it persists nicely on my skin. I also have quite a few of the others you’ve highlighted too 😜 Excellent video from you: I always appreciate the way you articulate fragrance! I’m on a violet kick lately: maybe I should try to track down that Paco Rabanne?
Yes Floral Street have some lovely ones 😍 I'm sorry to say that I'm not as much of a fan of their more recent releases though.
I've not tried the newer version of Ultraviolet but the vintage version won me over. The drydown is sweet warm fuzzy violet, it's delicious. The opening is crazier with the coriander 😂 I do really enjoy it though.
