I have to give a shout out to Opium (1977). That was the most amazing fragrance ever…
Definitely!! I have a mini of the vintage and I just dabbed it on the other day. It’s amazing. 🥰❤️
I second that, vintage opium is the best!!
I still love the old school Calvin Klein perfumes too. Amazing and long lasting. They are perfect! Love This video.
Husband loves Calvin Kline. Cat likes both sexes Obsession lol.
Yes I keep obsession and escape along with eternity, ck1,red door, and pleasure intense
Calvin Klein has a lot of great fragrances, including their CK One line. CKIN2U for her is one of my favorites.
I just recently ordered a bottle of Escape to relive that fragrance, either they changed it or it was counterfeit, but it was awful
Yes yes yes
Sarah, What a fun video! I’m so glad you decided to do this topic❤️🌻❤️
This was so fun to watch!!! You had such great picks!! I love Chloe, Angel, jadore and pink sugar!
Phenomenal video. I have some of these and others that I have not tried. How wonderful to have such a variety of scents!! ❤️
I knew it was going to be Libre. It is the best release that I’ve smelled too. Givenchy Linterdit is a pretty nice line too. Mon Guerlain is going to be a classic too.
Definitely! All of them will be I think. 🥰❤️
Most definitely!! They will be around a very long time and for good reason.
Great Video Sarah💖 yes I love old school fragrances too Alien is one of my favorites very beautiful fragrance will always have it💜💜
Hello! I love timeless/classic perfumes. I am pretty sure when I smell a vintage perfume, it either reminds me of my mom, a favorite teacher, Avon or whatever, from when I was a kid; I’ve been collecting a few every now and then. Thanks for another great video,
I like alot of Elizabeth Arden and Estee Lauder and Elizabeth taylor perfumes
Yes! 🥰❤️
Loved this Sarah !!! Classic,vintage.....timeless.....will always be "tops" in my collection!!!
🥰🥰🥰
Dolce & Gabbana red cap is amazing! ❤
Loved this video ❤️
Alien has been my fav perfume EVER since it came out. The new formulation doesn't last as much but I still adore it.
Also Tocade has my heart for many years.
Darn! I was hoping they wouldn’t reformulate Alien. 😭
I can never get enough from your videos😍
Great recommendations ❤🌹🌹🌹
🥰🥰🥰
Dang, I thought you were gonna just give a few classics, but you kept going & I saw that I was not even halfway through with the video! Your perfume collection & your knowledge of them is astounding, Sarah. I felt like I'm getting a history lesson on perfumes or something 🤩
🥰🥰🥰
Yup! It's why shes my favorite TH-camr to watch!!
Love Escape - and it is my best performer - outstanding projection of at least 4 hours of constant output! I’ve had niche that don’t perform that way!
Escape, Yay!!!! Can't get it in this little town I live in.
This was a trip down memory lane 😊❤️🙏🏽 It’s nice that we have a shared memory of Stella now!
🤗 Hugs my friend.
🥰🥰🥰 Hugs Love! ❤️
Oh, Sarah, I love this modern classic list! We all know the older classics so nice to see updated choices. I ADORE Stella, just like you! It is my absolute favorite of all time. I need to get Libre, based on your feelings, maybe Intense version? Many thanks!❤️🌹
Both Libre and Libre Intense are stunning but when someone asks which they should get, I always recommend the Intense version. Usually more potent and longer lasting so the Intense is almost always the better choice. I personally own both but I'm also a fragrance collector and have nearly 100 fragrances in my collection. I love the Libre line. I'm getting the eau de toilette version when it gets warmer out. It is perfect for the Summer.
Hi Julie! I love both the EDP as well as the Intense. The Intense version is a bit more smooth.
I agree, the intense is my favorite (I actually like the edt second best especially in warmer weather) and like they said the intense is smoother and richer
Dune forever 💕💕💕
I absolutely adore these types of videos! My grandma wore Estee Lauder White Linen her whole life. I remember the scent like it was yesterday
I love your mentions and I love 4711! My twenties in a bottle! People still get very captivated by it.
Thank you so much!! 🥰❤️🙏🏻
Absolutely love this video, and it feels like you had a chance to put your history brain and your perfume brain together just a bit :-) so wonderful! Only a true fragrance expert possibly could’ve had the know how to make this one! By the way, speaking of pink sugar, have you had a chance to try out pink sugar creamy sunshine? I guess it was released last year and I’m now very curious about it.
Thank you so much!!
Hi Sarah, I love Chloe, Dior Addict, Alien, and Chanel No. 5 and No.5 l’eau that I just picked up. I don’t have Chance but I have smelled it and like it. I want to pick up Coco Chanel, which some may say is a mature scent but I love it! My favourite of the Light Blue flankers is Love is Love. Amazing Grace and Pure Grace are some of my favourites! Awe Charlotte! Love her facial expressions! 💕
Hi Erin! I have really been wanting a bottle of coco Chanel too. I don’t know if I should get the edp or edt though? 🥰❤️
i LOVE Tocade ! so happy i got it....
My Pink Sugar has been getting a lot of use lately... i have been using it as my bedtime scent like very single night.. or like a day-lounge-day-off kinda scent.. perfect for the season!
It be is definitely Pink Sugar season! What a great bedtime scent. 🥰❤️
My favorites are Halston, Opium, Lou Lou, Wind Song and Shalmar. I do love Elizabeth Taylor's fragrances as well.
Yay! I like old perfumes!!!
Lancomes Poeme is a timeless classic one for me
I was craving that era scents like Poeme and Tresor. My local dept store no longer has Lancome
@@lagatita1623 the lancome site just had a big sale I think it's still going on. But same here I can't smell poeme at any of my local stores. I'm hoping it's as good as I remember :)
I adore poeme i have the original formula i just love it
Yes! I’m trying to get my hands on a vintage bottle. 🥰❤️
@@SarahMayes I have a bid on an ebay mini
I have Ralph in my collection right now! I've had it for quite a long time but I don't wear it anymore. Down to the last bit. I think it's evaporated somehow. So beautifully sweet!!!!
Great review. I just discovered libre. It's amazing.
Hi Sarah! I love classic perfumes that can stand the test of time ,I'm still I love with Angel and pink sugar they will always be a loooove of mine . I'd take a classic over any of these new ones any day IMO ☺️ and the last on the skin and in the bottle a bit longer too! They were well made 😉 tfs 🙏🏼
Hey you! Yes! I totally agree! Classics all day! 🥰❤️🙏🏻
I agree that Libre is one of the best designer fragrances, I wear the original in warmer climate, and I will have to try the intense, it probably will be beautiful for the cooler months!! 😘💜💕
Definitely!! 🥰❤️🙏🏻😘
Great vid, lots of scents I agree with. The kid mugging the camera with ugly faces at the end was the best though 😆
Hi! I love classic perfumes,too! I'm 51 and since I was a teenager I've never stopped wearing Rive Gauche YSL, and White Linen EL. I've got more than 50 perfumes in my collection but these two......Oh, and I hate Alien and all its flankers(sorry!)
Don't be sorry! You are not the only one!
Escape, Shalimar and Tocade still exist in my collection.
Stella Absolut was even better than the original.
Love your warm spirit.
and Red Cap
Thank you so much!! I just scored a bottle of Stella Absolut on eBay. I can't wait to get it!!
I recently re-purchased Amazing Grace. It just works.
YSL Libre certainly took a moment to catch on.
Born in Roma is pretty.
Alien is my signature scent ! What was your frag on your Wedding ? You do an amazing job ty ! God bless the viewers !!
My Wedding scent was Gucci Guilty. ❤️
Love these classics! I wear almost all of them- just can’t do Escape but my sister loves it😂. I still wear CK Obsession, White Diamonds (used to hate this but now I love layering with it), Bright Crystal is getting old enough to be in this list? Just started wearing Tabu (mixed with vanillas and sweeter lighter frags), Euphoria might also fit in this list? Anyhoo love the classics along with the new… like the old song “make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other’s gold!”
I layer White Diamonds with Cloud,, yeah.. using up my bottle of Cloud in the best way possible
Superb list
I keep wanting to try pink sugar but my daughter (20 years old) says she can’t stand it haha She made me think it was too vintage but maybe I need to try it!
Hold so are you 42? I am and when you said you where twelve in 1991 I was like me too!! Now I want to get my hands on that Calvin cline perfume so it can take me back!! Love when you talk about the older perfumes from our childhood!!❤️
Also, I have light blue, I bought it from a Walgreens here so don’t know how long it had been there, but it lasts and projects all day for me, like all day and everyone can smell it. I always here people say it never lasts, so not sure if I have a older formulation or what. 🤷♀️
Yeah I'm 41. Born in 80 and I love the old ones I will always have a bottle of CK1, eternity,tommy girl,hugo boss,and I've searched everywhere for ghost myst perfume bc my mom always bought me that and I miss it.
You must have gotten an older bottle! Treasure it because the new formulations are not good. 🥰❤️
Yep, 42 this month. 🥰❤️
Awwwwwhen your daughter came up, melted my heart . Love your reviews. Just found u ❤
Thank you! ❤️🥰❤️🥰
Hi Sarah. Some smoke alarms will go off randomly if their batteries are low. Try putting new batteries in them. It should take care of the problem.
Every person i had smell Alien in the past, when i had it, told me it was stinky. It was way too much. Alien can make some ppl feel sick, its just too much. 🤢 and Libre has too much lavender in it for me. Lavender always reminds me of laundry soap or fabric softener or air freshner. 🤔
Oldies but goodies all- what’s not to love? They’re timeless and still wearable😊. Is Stella really hard to find? Too bad-I have the edt and the edp-such an easy reach.
Sadly it has gotten very hard to find. I have them both too and will cherish them. 😭
Love this !!! Hey Sarah could you recommend any fragrance similar to My Burberry Blush? 😊
Hi there! If I remember correctly I think Burberry Brit Sheer smells similar to Blush. I think I remember thinking that when I smelled them? 🥰❤️
@@SarahMayes Thank you ❤
I have the angel edp and I have a perfect scent inspired angel scent. I prefer wearing the perfect scent one bc it's more wearable for where I live. So I feel like the edt would be my preference as well. The perfect scent one is light and airy
There must be a 👻 floating around your home Sarah ... not nice with smoke alarms!
Yes! to my lifelong fav Shalimar, and love the newer Souffle versions too...Guerlain is just eternal💖
(What's your take on Lalique 'L'amour'?? I'm thinking of gifting it to a friend ...sillage?)
Thanks 🌹
Hi there! I love l’amour and I think I got about 5 hours out of it. It’s not the worst but not the best either but I love how it smells. 🥰❤️
It is the only perfume in my collection I have been able to finish. I used to wear it to bed and I loved it but I will not be re-buying anyway because there are so many perfumes to try.
hello Sarah how are you? i had calvin klein at a doctor's appointment, and she was sooo happy with me, she said you take me back in time. she thought her practice smelled pleasant🥰🥳
🥰🥰🥰
True about J'adore. J'adore on my skin is nothing special but on my Mom's skin it's magic.
Great video
I think I may be anosmic to Chanel, I hardly smell anything in any of them 😔
I hated Alien when it first came out, it was just to polarizing. Today I like it a lot😊
I agree, I absolutely love Libre. Loved it at first sniff❤️ I think the intense is good for nighttime🙂
Thanks for sharing your video take care
🥰🥰🥰
I had a bottle of Tocade!! And Addict!!
Both Amazing!!
I have to smell Libre! Your daughter, so cute. 😊
Thank you so much!! 🥰🙏🏻❤️
It's the cold menthol vibe that I dislike in Alien. It lacks warmth and it's very unnatural and "alien" like...I wish I got my nose on original Stella, I have the current one but don't like it so much. I have Miss Charming by Juliette has a Gun and have heard that it s pretty close to Stella, have you tried that? Your daughter is sooo cute btw!
My mothers favourite was nina ricci with white bird I have the bottle from the 90ies without a sprayrer, but I don't like it on myself.
L’air du temps. Gorgeous one. 🥰❤️
I was wondering if you've ever tested Oxygene by Lanvin or Poeme by Lancome? Along with Poison I think they're the most interesting perfumes in my collection but they don't get much love as they're vintage. My nose just seems to like the sweetness in older perfumes as I rarely like new scents!
Hi there!! I adore Poeme and I’ve been searching for a vintage bottle of it. I haven’t smelled Oxygen but so many people have recommended. I will have to pick it up. 🥰❤️
@@SarahMayes I read that Poeme is being discontinued which sucks! I'm obsessed with Oxygene but it's very unique so probably a love or hate scent. I haven't filmed a Poeme review yet but I have a quick Oxygene one one youtube.... just hoping younger people might discover it and help keep the demand up so it doesn't also get discontinued!
I found stella in online shop where i live, in saudi arabia, but only the 30ml size and pretty expensive too for that size
I purchased Calvin Klein Escape based on your recommecdation. I love it, but what does it smell like to you? I feel that it smells similar to something in my collection, but cannot put my finger on it! Have a great day Sarah!
Hi there! I have definitely smelled other fragrances that remind me of it but I couldn't say which ones.
For me, Escape smells similar to Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden 😊
Tocade for me feels like it is made of pheromones. Like those mystical perfumes, a man can not withstand. There is no other perfume that does the same to me. I do not want to write too much details because this is TH-cam but i believe everybody understands what i mean with that. It is almost magical. And this goes for almost all men i know. Everybody reacts the same way, if a woman uses Tocade. It seems a lot of men almost loose their mind with this perfume. I am not kidding. And it is the same with men of all ages. 🙂
This commentary is very convincing. I shall seek out this Tocade for purchase.
Similar to Passion, Elizabeth Taylor, I have read a few similar comments from men about Obsession, I could never wear obsession, far too dark and strong for me, but now I will check out Tocade! 😎
Well, Tocade is one of my all Time favorites. I started wearing it aged 19. This guy I had a crush on asked me, in a kind of mean way, what granny perfume I was wearing.... 😑
@@lilyjane1011 so strange it’s smells like vanilla and roses, a bit gourmet. Nothing aldehydic or vintage scank or carnation or vintage spicy ambers or other typical notes from that era… There are many niche houses who are trying to emulate vintage masterpieces and not always succeeding. That guy just doesn’t know what is a good perfume. I swear he is using some boring hyped low quality sheit.
Hi Sarah I loved your video, but you didn't mention Opium the classic wich is far better than the actual one. Opium in the Brown botle. Love Odilka from the Republic of Panama.
It is much better for sure! I keep a mini of the vintage formula and it can’t be beat. 🥰❤️
Escape ids beautiful. It smells like a beautiful soap
Angel is a beautiful scent. When I was in my 30’s I couldn’t stand it. There was a coworker who that was her signature scent but she over sprayed so I couldn’t I’ve it at the time. I had given her one that I had bought, but now… that I’m in my 5’s, I love it if u wear it right.
Is that Chanel 402 on your lips? You look great!
I agree on the Libre! Plus I just like singing "Cause I'm freee...To do what I want..." ♩ ♪ ♫
I still wear CK One to this day.
Thank you so much!! This is actually a very inexpensive Essence lip pencil in the shade Legendary with a clear gloss over the top.
I've tried most of these. The only one I really dont like is YSL Libre.
How do you feel about Lancome Tresor? I was shocked to see my dept store no longer carries Lancome😔.
I don’t love Tresor but it is a classic. 🥰❤️
@@SarahMayes well I just heard my friends mom passed away and she wore that. I have nice memories of her from that time period so I'm feeling nostalgic. She was your 80s 90s capable woman who did it all🙂.
4711 is the cologne that Napolean wore
Every time I hear that I am amazed! I love it!
What version of Tocade do you have? I’m thinking of getting a bottle but not sure if I should go for the 1994 or 2018 formulation.
Hi Jaime! I have the 2018. It’s really nice and performs well. It probably doesn’t compare to the original but I don’t think it’s been butchered. 🥰❤️
interesting review
Red Cap is timeless and one of my old signatures
It really is. It still smells amazing!
Missing: L de Loewe (pre-reformulation and pre-boring basic bottle), Eau de Rochas and Courreges. The classics in northern spain.
You cannot get D&G woman in UK anymore😢that was my favourite perfume of all time
Eternity is gorgeous and classy
It really is! Such a classic. ❤️
To this great list I would add Dior Dolce Vita and Dune😁greetings
Definitely!! 🥰❤️
Awe!!! I miss Dolce Vita
@@susanvines6056 You can still buy Dolce Vita!
When I was a kid my Mom used to splash my sis and I with 4711 after our bath before bed! I’m 63!
I love philosophy Baby Grace and Falling in love. I have found the original versions and are way better than the “water of the water of cologne” we get from the new line.
Yes! Falling in Love is an old signature of mine from the mid 00's and it used to be so strong and long lasting. I would love to find an old bottle again. ❤️
@@SarahMayes I lucked out and recognized that old bottle. It’s divine!
I love a 90s moment
Me too! I am embracing the return of 90's trends.
Chloe is a real love
We used to call it Kolnischer Wasser
Sis which reputable businesses can i purchase CK Escape parfum (for women) …? Ty………..Cz I’ve purchased 2 bottles recently and they DO NOT last long like the ones I’ve bought (1995-2005)………..it seemed “watered down” now….cz color is lighter & scent is weaker……
Hi there! Sadly it may have been reformulated. If you are comfortable with eBay or Mercari I would look there and specifically search for original formulation. ❤️
The philosophy is my fifth bottle I think fifth or six bottle ever since I've used to Window Shop because I didn't have enough money to go in Sephora and I smelled it for the first time I saved all my money I remember buying it and ever since when I bought it I bought the body wash over the years and decades this is like my bottle and it is still an amazing smell I can spray it all over my body everybody gives me compliments philosophy is the best perfume ever
❤️❤️❤️
🥰🥰🥰
I still wear Tommy Girl even today! Everyone knows me by it.
Smoke alarms go off when the batteries are low and need to be replaced
Sarah, boa noite estou interessada no Perfumes Timeless .
I love jadore on others but it makes me feel sick when I wear it
Love so many of those, but unfortunately, I'm in the " hate Escape camp", I just don't get what you've described, I wonder if I have a rancid bottle, because smells like rotten fruit to me! Sarah, check your smoke detector batteries, same thing happened to ours when the batteries started to go weak, we switched to new ones and it stopped doing that.
Yes! The people who hate Escape usually get the rotten fruit vibe. I definitely understand! Thankfully I don't get that but I can see it. So, the batteries are good! It just lost its mind for a minute. It hasn't happened again so it was some sort of malfunction? ❤️
I just bought a new bottle of addict ❤️❤️❤️ it’s so deep and sexy it will always be my scent. Even after I discovered alien this one will always be my favorite…I wanna try libre
Yes!! I adore Addict. Even the current formulation is still stunning and so rich smelling. It’s a for life fragrance for sure. 🥰❤️🙏🏻
Double check if your smoke detector is also a carbon monoxide detector.
Hi Tara! The Carbon Monoxide detector is a couple of feet from the smoke detector and separate. I thought the same thing at first. ❤️🥰
Your daughter is so beautiful!
Thank you!! 🥰❤️🙏🏻
I own & love several on your list. However, Calvin Klein Escape is the worst smelling cologne I've ever smelled. I cannot stand it on myself or anyone else. Don't know how it has lasted this long.
Ralph Lauren Ralph smells like Paris Hilton’s first perfume to me
Lol, I mean no offense, but I actually think Alien does smell like grape juice. Like a grape juice box that's been left in your car and has gone bad. Lol, why I'm personally not a fan. Ha!!
My favorite classics are Chabochard by Gres, Opium and Obsession.
I can totally see that! ❤️
so rude of that woman to not send you the perfume :( did you get your money back at least?
I did! I had to file a claim through PayPal.
I’m definitely the one that haTe that 👾alien. It smells like a purple artificial candy. Not even grape but purple. Don’t get the hype at all.
😂 I definitely understand!
Does your smoke detector check for carbon monoxide? Please check!!
I do have a CM detector that is separate. ❤️
@@SarahMayes oh good. Then you’re haunted jk
I think Stella has been discontinued 😭
Narciso fleur musk smells like Stella
Hi there! I will definitely track down a bottle!
Is it ‘Parfam’ or ‘perfume’ ?
It’s usually Parfum.
Ironically,pink sugar only smells like black licorice on me. Like that's literally it
A lot of people have that experience with it. I totally understand. ❤️
Is it the dog walking sound? 🙂
It is probably my pups clicking on the floors as they walk around.
@@SarahMayes so cute 😍
I wish that these timeless fragrances would keep the original DNA and quit with reformulating these because by doing so they are ruined.
