I appreciate you acknowledging that fragrance preference is different from person to person. For example, just because a TH-camr with a big platform loves BR540, doesn’t mean I have to or should feel weird for not loving it the same.
I love Versace crystal noir! But I also love this video even though you don't like it! Like come on haters, we don't all have the same nose or skin chemistry!
Everyone has their opinion. I respect yours. I do love Lira and I had never heard any hype prior to purchasing it, I have my complaints with the projection but that is it. And I love lychee on Delina, which is why I bought it. Everyone's experiences shape what they find appealing.
I completely agree with your opinion of Delina, I just cannot get why everybody raves about it so much. To me, it's exactly as you said, a "nice" fragrance that should cost half of what it does - at most.
Great Video! I appreciate your honesty. I blind bought Versace Crystal Noir EDP a few months ago and hated it the moment I put my nose to it! I was pretty bummed about it because I read so many great reviews. Something about it pinched my nose and was almost nauseating to me. For three weeks it stayed on my vanity and I would smell it periodically (still hating it.) then one day I picked it up, smelled it and my nose didn’t get that pinchy note anymore, didn’t make me sick and it has now become one of my favorites! I was told sometimes perfumes need to “age” a bit. I do recall several times going into Sephora, smelling a tester and loving it just for the perfume to smell slightly different at home fresh out the box.
I feel exactly the same way about Delina! Some days the sourness reminds me of the taste of sweat on my face and the first time that happened I thought it had gone rancid, but other days the sourness isn't there at all and it's such a lovely, clean scent. I was worried if it was just my bottle at first!
Totally agree with you about Instant Crush and Delina. The only time of year that Delina actually works on me is in deep winter; any other time it just smells like rotten fruit and potpourri 😫
I like Delina and I agree that sometimes it’s too sharp. La Rosee is a love for me despite most TH-camrs telling us to stick to the original. Sorry, but La Rosee smells better than the original to me. Unfortunately, my nose hates the Exclusiv. I tried so hard to like it, but I couldn’t get with that one. And don’t even get me started on BR540. Tried to love it, but it makes me physically sick.
I don’t understand why people get so offended about disliking their fave fragrances. Fragrance is so subjective.. we will all feel differently . And I agree on good girl smells so generic and nothing special. I love your recommendations been watching your vids!! I curious now about Chanel no5 l’eau and pure poison Dior.Do you find they last? 🥰💝 xx
I do so love the Chrystal Nior, it lifts my mood and makes me have such a great sense of well being. The only other one I have tried is the Delina and couldn't imagine why the hype is so big.
I love Crystal Noir EDP In me is like a creamy coconut, not to sweet and sooo sexy. The only black opium I like is nuit blanche But I hate poison girl - too sweet.
I have the same problem with Delina - on a good day it's a refreshing rose, but some other days it turns sour and the smell can be irritating... that's a weird one for sure. Also thank you for mentioning Crystal Noir, it feels like everybody loves that one but honestly it's a bit of a mess lol
It’s funny how you describe the fragrances 🤣🤣🤣 I like that you don’t try to filter the words when talking about perfumes and this is what we need. As always I like your video ❤️❤️
Yesterday I've got a sample of Xerjoff Lira and I was so excited to try it out! After all YT reviews my expectations were super high. I didn't like the smell, it was too sweet and suffocating. I was feeling dizzy and had to change my t-shirt. I'll give it another try when it gets colder
Wonderful reviews, so straight to the point . I absolutely HATE Delina and BR540. Tried them both and cannot gel with them at all. Total waste of money for harsh smelling, chemical 'high end' fragrance. They actually made me feel so nauseated, I tried very hard , went back to them several times !! Spot on every time, love your channel and thanks for posting these great reviews ! xx
Im so with you Yana!! Delina gives me this sharp scent that I can't stand! I was starting to think that I was the only one that didn't like it! I'm so happy that I found someone (a youtuber) who has the same taste as me!!! I bought Mon Guerlain Bloom of Roses EDT last year and it's my absolute FAV!!!
I used to love good girl. A friend gifted it to me. I wore it a few times and was just over it. It’s so strong to my nose. I’m glad you’re keeping it real. I see a lot of reviewers hype up fragrances and then months later say don’t buy this, worst fragrance ever without acknowledging they used to promote it. Same with black opium. Apparently there’s an extreme version. Curious how it stands out against the way too many flankers.
I liked this video before knowing what fragrances you dislike, because I cannot be bothered by such a personal preference, I just cannot, even if you end up disliking all of my favorites. 😅
I bought both dolce n gabbana The Only One, and the original Black Opium. Both are similar, but the black opium is better. Has a spiciness and complexity that the plainer The Only One doesnt have. The latter one is more softer and has caramel. I wear both tho. 🤗
@Anaïs Beauvilliers sad but true. Some will do anything for to be on a PR list. But once that happens i unfollow bcuz most Times it won’t be honest reviews .
Yana, your honesty and sarcasm is 2 of the traits I love about you. I am the same way about everything, not just perfume. I’ve always been this way (probably because my Ma was) and I’ve pissed off a lot of people in my 66 years by being honest. My intentions aren’t to hurt someone but if you ask my opinion or advice about something I’m going to tell you the truth. If you don’t want to know, please don’t ask me! I truly don’t understand why people would get upset because you don’t like a perfume. All of us have different chemistry land we also like different smells. If that wasn’t the case all perfume, clothing, hair styles etc would be the same which would be so boring. Enough of my rant……..girl you just keep doing you!❤️🌻❤️💐❤️
I totally agree about Instant Crush, I bought a sample after hearing good things and it was a hard no for me. I also agree with you about Versace Crystal Noir, it was a scrubber for me as well. The regular Delina is too sharp for me, much prefer Delina Exclusif but not enough to pull the trigger on a bottle. It seems our tastes are similar.
Not offended in the least, I agree with you on all the ones I've tried off this list, especially Good Girl, but I actually love Delina. I didn't think I would though, I hated rose and I still kinda hate fruity tart notes, but I've started loving rose lately and Delina is literally addictive to me. Plus, it's not popular in my area, everyone is just into designer perfumes and don't really know much about niche perfumery so it stands out. I'm using it as my summer fragrance at the minute and plan to use either Oud Satin Mood or Portrait of a Lady in the colder weather so I can still get my fix of rose. I haven't tried the other Delinas but I want to.
Good girl gives me a skull busting headache. I could never wear it. Gave the whole bottle away. And you are correct with Black Opium. I purchased it at Ulta. Opened it up in the parking lot and went right back inside to return it lol
@@luciaanghel3811 I blind bought good girl because I had a knock off version that I loved so I assumed the real thing would work just the same. It did not lol. And I did test black opium but only a paper strip. It smells totally different on my body. It was an awful scent to me. I have no regrets about returning it lol
@@accesstotheredcarpet Everyone raves about that one too. I saw it at TJMAXX for $20 but I'm not sure I should invest in it. A lot of these youtube loves, I don't seem to like
Ugh, I feel you on the instant crush. So glad I only got the sample & not a whole bottle. Gives me a horrible weird headache. Not a huge fan of Mancera or Montale tbh. All smell extra extra synthetic.
I used to love Crystal Noir, but for some reason one day I smelled it and was so put off by its gardenia and coconut that I had to sell it immediately. My favorite "cool ginger-y" fragrance is the original Bvlgari Omnia (the one with the ginger and chai notes); it gives me that same ginger spicy smell but without the odd notes
Hi Yana! Just now sitting down to watch. I would love to see a home decor tour video. I get to see snippets of it in the background of other videos and everything looks so classy and elegant and tastefully decorated! If showing your home is too personal I totally understand, but honestly I would LOVE to see more, especially how you select pieces, how you come up with a design or theme for each room, maybe some tips on how we can better design our own homes, etc. You look beautiful as always, btw!
Haven’t tried Lira, but that’s good to know, I shall not waste my money on it. Completely agree with all the rest of these though. Anyone that’s mad just can’t deal with you speaking the truth
for crystal noir you definitely tried the EDP from your description of the smell,. Unlike the EDP the EDT doesn’t have coconut or pepper or cardamom. They smell so so different so I really recommend you try the EDT one ! I think it’s the one that is popular
Nothing to take offense over. Scent is so subjective I’m so surprised people get mad. I do enjoy Lira and Delina but I detest all the other scents on this list 😫 I want to get the hype so bad!!!
I cannot do Delina either. I totally agree.too tart for my nose.lol. singes my nose hairs lol. Oud bouquet is another one i don't like either. And I'm not offended by Crystal noir but i love it. The "edt" version though. Its the musk that i lov so much. Anyway great video.
What a fun video! I feel the same way about all your choices, especially Instant Crush. Oh my gosh, I really don’t understand that one. It’s so unrefined and poorly blended. “Baccarat gone wrong” made me laugh 😂
Instant Crush is weird. Some days I like it, others I regret putting it on. The thing is I’m not a huge fan of the BR540 DNA, so at first I liked how Instant Crush took that and made it creamier. But the problem is Mancera always using that freaking white musk in everything. Some people say BR540 smells very sterilized like a doctors office, well Instant Crush smells like a sterilized bakery. Like you catch hints of all the delicious pastries, but they just did a deep clean so the smell of cleaning chemicals are overpowering everything.
Completely agree with you on Delina, Crystal Noir, and Oud Bouquet. Everyone hypes them so much then when I sampled them I was so confused! Don’t get it 😷
Oud Bouquet - I love this one, but my husband says it smells like an old lady hair salon. Good Girl & Black Opium- smells like sorority girls and bad decisions Mancera (any of them) - smells sooooo synthetic and chemical-y. Truly awful. Crystal Noir - not my personal cup of tea but I don’t hate it. Heard someone say that it smells like a vampire on the beach and I have to agree. Lira - not terrible, but way too sweet for me. Would probably work better as a candle. Also, somehow the packaging kind of bothers me, especially the pointy cap. Delina - smells like being stabbed up the nose with a rose-scented ice pick. Super screechy to me. Beautiful bottle though, if a little over the top girly.
Fragrances are too personal to say "don't waste your money on these". Thanks God we're all different and have different tastes. Let's just be nice to one another and to all fragrances :)
Totally agree with all of the ones that I have smelled! Can't stand Instant Crush, can't stand Lira, it goes straight to a boring vanilla on me immediately, not a fan of Delina, that one just reminds me of all those Escada perfumes from like 15 yrs ago. Also don't like Black Opium! Thank you for your honesty!
I totally agree with Good Girl, Black Opium, Crystal Noir and Delina! The rest I haven't smelled. I would add Coco Mademoiselle and La Vie Est Belle to my list.
At last, somebody who doesn’t get along with Crystal Noir. It is so hyped on YT. I bought the edp and I can’t bear the fragrance in me. Fortunately I could declutter it to a close friend who loves it. It does smell different on her.
I love Cartier La panthère despite seeing people saying it smells like cat piss lol.. Scents are very personal, i believe no two person have the same nose
That's why I always say any perfume you get start with one spray and go from there.instant crush half a spray is more than enough,it will smell really good
I just tried Lira a few weeks ago because of the hype and I also hated it. I actually just bought full bottle of Italica and I love it lightly layered with 540 extrait because the almond notes pair really well together and the projection and power of it are so pale in comparison to 540. I tried Italica with lost cherry and it smelled amazing BUT I literally smelled like a 5 year old girl and I’m with you, I don’t want to smell like a pop tart 😂😂
I am so with you on basically all of those, I really hated Instant Crush and Lira. Full agreement BUT Oud Bouqet is one of my favourites, truth to be told, however, I don't wear it extemly often, because it can, indeed be very overwhelming.
I'm glad we are in the same boat about Versace Crystal Noir. Reminds me also with Jo Malone Black Amber Ginger Lily but different.. For me I can do Crystal Noir but only for house fragrance, I'm gonna be like it I think. Not for my body fragrance. Also.. the other brand with similarity with these two : Rituals Jing. Rituals kinda The Body Shop, Yves Rocher, Lush, Bath Body Works, etc.
I haven’t tried Black Opium bu I agree with you on the others… I have one I cannot stand on me. And I tried and so wanted to like it- Gypsy Water- Byredo. It smells like men’s nasty BO on my skin! 🤢 seriously.
@@Summerdew123 I like Alien Fusion. Nice fragrance. I keep trying to like Alien more. Smells like synthetic eucalyptus on me. Dries to something slightly more pleasant, then disappears. I went on a Mugler buying spree and purchased 8 Alien and Angel flankers as well. I strongly prefer the Angel flankers, especially Eau Croisiere 2019. I also joined the Mugler "circle" and have received the original Alien body lotion, moisturizing cream, and a travel spray as gifts. So I wish I enjoyed Alien more to wear on its own. I do enjoy layering it with woody or rose fragrances.
Thanks for your honesty! It’s wonderful there are so many picks for different noses. I did purchase the Guerlain la petite robe noir eau fraiche, because of your review. Love it!!!! Anything gorgeously lovely 🥰
Thanks Mila! So nice to see you here, I love your channel I'll have to try the EDT, so many people (including you) are saying it's better. I definitely trust your taste so it must have been the EDP I tried.
I can see were some folks may be upset at you saying that a particular perfume is horrible, cheap etc. Perfume is a very personal thing and reacts differently to one's body chemistry. I personally love Good Girl, I find it to be sexy, a little dark and alluring. I also like that it's not a wimpy quiet perfume😘 Foody gourmands are not for me, I don't want to smell like dessert. I recently sampled a cookie notes frag that came highly recommended... It was a no for me, I don't want to angel like cookies. My daughter loved it though and I'm getting it for her for Xmas. Also most Guerlains smell like absolutely nothing to be, agnosmic😐
None of my perfumes are what you would describe as wimpy and quiet, I like people to smell my perfume from 20ft away minimum but Good Girl is just horrific. It's not how strong it is, that's it's only pro for me, it's the smell itself. I really thought I'd like it based off the notes, it looks great on paper, but it doesn't work in real life. On skin, paper, other people, in the air, I just hate it. Dark and vampy are not what springs to mind when I smell it. I wish I could smell what you do with it, but if anything I prefer Bad Boy, GG smells more masculine to me. There's a theory it was made for men but they slapped it in a high heel shoes and marketed it at women. I can see that being true.
I have CH Good Hirl Legere and its sexy but it does not linger it just evaporates. The YSL Black Opium is just not a compliment- getter. It's a sorry scent.
I think u had the edp version of versace crystal noir. I think u should try the edt one and tell us what u think about it. I have it and it smells so good (no where near spiciy) and also it lasts foreverrr! 😍
Agree with everything, except lira, because I haven't smelled it :p xD good girl smells ok. Nothing great about it. I have it but I'm not wow-ed by it 🙄 Original delina is also just ok. Exclusif is much better. It's got more depth. Crystal noir didn't smell nice to me AT ALL. I don't know why, I couldn't get any coconut notes from it. I got only spicy notes. 😩
Mine are The One Intense, La Belle and Mon Guerlain. But I'm still giving them a chance because no one is gonna use it. Scents are very subjective and I think really depends on your body chemistry and weather too.
I also don’t vibez with Carolina Herrera Good Girl - too strong for me, irritates my nose. I tried to like it but shame I have a full bottle, good that I got it as a present. I also don’t like most mancera products, you describe the plasticky smell correctly. I love my delina though😉. Great review.
Omg I was thinking of blind buying delina but then this video came and yes I hate aaaaaaall the fragrances you mentioned (I would add la vie est belle). You saved me some money dear!
We must be fragrance soulmates !! I tried ALL of these fragrances and have the EXACT opinion as you!! We must pull similar notes with fragrances because none of these worked for me either 🤣🤣🤣
You making a content about these scents shows you have good palate for scents and looking cute while trashing them is a plus.😊 very few reviewers do content like this
I totally agree with at least 3 of your views of these fragrances. I was in a love/hate relationship with Delina, I actually bought it and some days I liked it and some days I had regrets. Anyway, after about 6 months of not reaching for it, I gave it away. Great video, thanks.
I just started to get more in to fragrance and I agree with you on Good girl, black opium, and the Crystal one. But I thought I had to figure it out because they were so popular. Glad to hear im not alone!
It's weird how I completely agree with your description of Delina and yet I love it lol. I guess I found out with Delina that I really like this rhubarb note, I have even tried another fragrance that has this same note, so this sharpness ended up pleasing me. I understand why anyone would dislike it tho and that's probably what's so interesting about the exclusif and La Rosée versions. I haven't tried them yet, but I'm planning to.
All right, so I have met my perfume twin in you 😘👃👭 I also do not like C. H. Good girl, Black Opium, Delina, but I would add JHSG Not a perfume, Escentric Molecules Molecule 3, Laboratorio Olfattivo: Alkemi, Alambar & Nirmal, Nishane Ani, Cartiere Eau, Armani Code & Si, Lancome La vie est belle, ... Yesterday I wrote I was testing Chanel No. 5, I think I like it now a lot, but I couldn't stand it. I did it because I listened to you. Now I know I must listen to you, because we probably have similar chemistry 🤭
You might be my fragrance soul sister. Tried most on your list and I agree with all. I will say, I brought Lira in the spring because of the hype and because it sounds like something I should love but nope! But it really isn't a warm weather frag so I'll try again in the fall.
Perfumes that i tried so hard to like, but the end result is still a NO. 1. Baccarat 540 2. Delina & Delina exclusif 3. Black opium 4. Good girl 5. Chanel No 5 6. Any Amouage perfumes
Yep, I agree with your dislikes! Anyone who gets seriously offended by your picks needs to get a life. To get mad over someone's dislike is ridiculous.
My unpopular opinion: I hate Baccarat Rouge on me. I tried SO hard to love it, but for that price?- I shouldn't have to try, at all, lol
what are your favorites
Me too!! I find myself liking the dupes Better than the original.
Totally agree with you. 💥
Sameee
It smells like latex or bandaids to me 🙁
I appreciate you acknowledging that fragrance preference is different from person to person. For example, just because a TH-camr with a big platform loves BR540, doesn’t mean I have to or should feel weird for not loving it the same.
Absolutely! Everyone has different tastes and are sensitive to different notes or chemicals
Why do I love these types of videos of yours? I really like your honesty 😊
Thank you! ❤️

I completely agree on Delina and Oud Bouquet. Wow, this was such a disappointment for me! OB is so hyped and I just hated in on myself.
I love watching these types of videos in juxtaposition to videos by Jeremy Fragrance. It helps getting different perspectives.

Delina is too sharp. I'm so happy that I only got the travel set. It should come with a warning label "Will cause headaches".
I agree! I get occasional headaches with it
I don’t get the sexy dry down on my skin that people are talking about ,the rhubarb is very tart .
Ah - totally agree about Crystal Noir and Delina ! Just don’t do it for me either. Thanks for the video.

Hi Yana! Just now sitting down to watch.

Thank you so much! I could definitely do that, I'm thinking I might do random vlogs every now and again and I could do a little home tour 🥰
Haven’t tried Lira, but that’s good to know, I shall not waste my money on it. Completely agree with all the rest of these though. Anyone that’s mad just can’t deal with you speaking the truth
for crystal noir you definitely tried the EDP from your description of the smell,. Unlike the EDP the EDT doesn’t have coconut or pepper or cardamom. They smell so so different so I really recommend you try the EDT one ! I think it’s the one that is popular
It does smell a bit coconutty though, but with the gardenia I feel it like a creamy light coconut, like a very rich body cream idk
I love it btw
Lol I absolutely love Instant Crush. Versace noir smells like an expensive bug spray to me and I also dislike Delina but all the time!
Nothing to take offense over. Scent is so subjective I’m so surprised people get mad. I do enjoy Lira and Delina but I detest all the other scents on this list 😫 I want to get the hype so bad!!!
Good Girl was a major scrubber for me!
Bought it to try something new and it was a really a mistake 🙄
Try legere
@@L78969 I actually just smelled Legere at the outlet mall perfume shop yesterday & loved it!! So much better than the original!
I cannot do Delina either. I totally agree.too tart for my nose.lol. singes my nose hairs lol. Oud bouquet is another one i don't like either. And I'm not offended by Crystal noir but i love it. The "edt" version though. Its the musk that i lov so much. Anyway great video.
What a fun video! I feel the same way about all your choices, especially Instant Crush. Oh my gosh, I really don’t understand that one. It’s so unrefined and poorly blended. “Baccarat gone wrong” made me laugh 😂
Unpopular opinion- I hate hate Versace Crystal Noir and D&G 3 L’Imperatrice. The later smells like rotten fruit mocktail on me.
Omg thank you I hate them too!
I hate l’imperatrice. It smells sour and rotten lol
L’Imperatrice smells like bad body odor to me 😅
@@sarabrooks4211 yes sour is the word! 😅
I really dislike L’Imperatrice !!!!! Rotten fruit mocktail indeed 😂😂😂😂
I love Good Girl and Black Opium. Different strokes for different folks. Still love your videos.
Instant Crush is weird. Some days I like it, others I regret putting it on. The thing is I’m not a huge fan of the BR540 DNA, so at first I liked how Instant Crush took that and made it creamier. But the problem is Mancera always using that freaking white musk in everything. Some people say BR540 smells very sterilized like a doctors office, well Instant Crush smells like a sterilized bakery. Like you catch hints of all the delicious pastries, but they just did a deep clean so the smell of cleaning chemicals are overpowering everything.
Completely agree with you on Delina, Crystal Noir, and Oud Bouquet. Everyone hypes them so much then when I sampled them I was so confused! Don’t get it 😷
Oud Bouquet - I love this one, but my husband says it smells like an old lady hair salon.
Good Girl & Black Opium- smells like sorority girls and bad decisions
Mancera (any of them) - smells sooooo synthetic and chemical-y. Truly awful.
Crystal Noir - not my personal cup of tea but I don’t hate it. Heard someone say that it smells like a vampire on the beach and I have to agree.
Lira - not terrible, but way too sweet for me. Would probably work better as a candle. Also, somehow the packaging kind of bothers me, especially the pointy cap.
Delina - smells like being stabbed up the nose with a rose-scented ice pick. Super screechy to me. Beautiful bottle though, if a little over the top girly.
😂 Stabbed in the nose is right!! I totally get that!
So glad you agree 🥰
Amy, you are brilliant. I agree, and I can’t stop laughing.
@@TheRoxie1970 Aww thanks...I was kind of expecting to get lynched! 😂
Fragrances are too personal to say "don't waste your money on these". Thanks God we're all different and have different tastes. Let's just be nice to one another and to all fragrances :)
Totally agree with all of the ones that I have smelled! Can't stand Instant Crush, can't stand Lira, it goes straight to a boring vanilla on me immediately, not a fan of Delina, that one just reminds me of all those Escada perfumes from like 15 yrs ago. Also don't like Black Opium! Thank you for your honesty!
I totally agree with Good Girl, Black Opium, Crystal Noir and Delina! The rest I haven't smelled. I would add Coco Mademoiselle and La Vie Est Belle to my list.
At last, somebody who doesn’t get along with Crystal Noir. It is so hyped on YT. I bought the edp and I can’t bear the fragrance in me. Fortunately I could declutter it to a close friend who loves it. It does smell different on her.
I feel the same way about delina. I wish I bought the exclusive one.
Delina gives me a massive headache ... I don’t get that one.
@Stephanie J hmmm sounds like I should give it a try to those. Thanks for sharing. I will definitely try this
I love your honesty.
I am with you on Delina. The Rose in it is what gets me. I just can’t…
I can't smell the rose in Delina at all. All I smell is the extremely sharp rhubarb...which my nose translates to cat pee/nail polish remover.
@@stellarose5887 Same here, but to me the rhubarb comes off mildewy. EEWWW...
Ugh good girl is SOOOO hyped and i never understood why!! It’s so nice to hear that you hated it too LOL it chokes me out every time I smell it 😂😭
Haha I'm glad I'm not alone in this!
It took me a few times of wearing it to really enjoy it. To each their own.
I love Cartier La panthère despite seeing people saying it smells like cat piss lol.. Scents are very personal, i believe no two person have the same nose
I totally agree! I don’t like anything from Chanel anymore, but it’s the most important fragrance house.
I love panthère and I never would have thought I would but its good and animalic and lasts all day. Idc what anyone else says.
That's why I always say any perfume you get start with one spray and go from there.instant crush half a spray is more than enough,it will smell really good
Lira-lemon rubbery fake cake smell...very synthetic, lasted for like 2h.
I agree. I like the dua dupe of lira tho.
I just tried Lira a few weeks ago because of the hype and I also hated it. I actually just bought full bottle of Italica and I love it lightly layered with 540 extrait because the almond notes pair really well together and the projection and power of it are so pale in comparison to 540. I tried Italica with lost cherry and it smelled amazing BUT I literally smelled like a 5 year old girl and I’m with you, I don’t want to smell like a pop tart 😂😂
“They’re not tickling my nose holes”😆😂I chuckled way too hard😂
“Sexy antique store smell” love this description!
I am so with you on basically all of those, I really hated Instant Crush and Lira. Full agreement BUT Oud Bouqet is one of my favourites, truth to be told, however, I don't wear it extemly often, because it can, indeed be very overwhelming.
I'm glad we are in the same boat about Versace Crystal Noir. Reminds me also with Jo Malone Black Amber Ginger Lily but different..
For me I can do Crystal Noir but only for house fragrance, I'm gonna be like it I think. Not for my body fragrance.
Also.. the other brand with similarity with these two : Rituals Jing. Rituals kinda The Body Shop, Yves Rocher, Lush, Bath Body Works, etc.
I haven’t tried Black Opium bu I agree with you on the others…
I have one I cannot stand on me. And I tried and so wanted to like it- Gypsy Water- Byredo. It smells like men’s nasty BO on my skin! 🤢 seriously.
Perfumes I‘m not keen of: Intense Cafe, La vie est belle, Alien, Si (too sweet)
Yeeeees same! Add Dior Addict and Versace Crystal (all of them) and that's my list to the T.
I have three of them! 😅
La vie est Belle was mine too gave it away.
@@Summerdew123 I like Alien Fusion. Nice fragrance. I keep trying to like Alien more. Smells like synthetic eucalyptus on me. Dries to something slightly more pleasant, then disappears. I went on a Mugler buying spree and purchased 8 Alien and Angel flankers as well. I strongly prefer the Angel flankers, especially Eau Croisiere 2019. I also joined the Mugler "circle" and have received the original Alien body lotion, moisturizing cream, and a travel spray as gifts. So I wish I enjoyed Alien more to wear on its own. I do enjoy layering it with woody or rose fragrances.
@@Summerdew123 I bought a travel spray of Alien Musc and I'm unimpressed and will pass on buying a full bottle. It reminds me of Youth Dew.
Thanks for your honesty! It’s wonderful there are so many picks for different noses. I did purchase the Guerlain la petite robe noir eau fraiche, because of your review. Love it!!!! Anything gorgeously lovely 🥰
I'm so glad you're enjoying that one! ❤️
I ❤❤❤ good girl, it works well on me. I❤❤❤ black opium my only issue is longevity doesn't last on me. Instant crush works for me it pulls sweet on me.
Hello beautiful! Loved this video! Try the Crystal Noir EDT I don’t think it has coconut, I don’t like the the coconut in the EDP make it soapy, X
Thanks Mila! So nice to see you here, I love your channel
I'll have to try the EDT, so many people (including you) are saying it's better. I definitely trust your taste so it must have been the EDP I tried.
I can see were some folks may be upset at you saying that a particular perfume is horrible, cheap etc. Perfume is a very personal thing and reacts differently to one's body chemistry.
I personally love Good Girl, I find it to be sexy, a little dark and alluring. I also like that it's not a wimpy quiet perfume😘
Foody gourmands are not for me, I don't want to smell like dessert. I recently sampled a cookie notes frag that came highly recommended... It was a no for me, I don't want to angel like cookies. My daughter loved it though and I'm getting it for her for Xmas.
Also most Guerlains smell like absolutely nothing to be, agnosmic😐
None of my perfumes are what you would describe as wimpy and quiet, I like people to smell my perfume from 20ft away minimum but Good Girl is just horrific. It's not how strong it is, that's it's only pro for me, it's the smell itself. I really thought I'd like it based off the notes, it looks great on paper, but it doesn't work in real life. On skin, paper, other people, in the air, I just hate it. Dark and vampy are not what springs to mind when I smell it. I wish I could smell what you do with it, but if anything I prefer Bad Boy, GG smells more masculine to me. There's a theory it was made for men but they slapped it in a high heel shoes and marketed it at women. I can see that being true.
Versace Crystal Noir EDT in my opinion is better and lighter than the EDP.
I agree, I don't like EDP but I like EDT
I have CH Good Hirl Legere and its sexy but it does not linger it just evaporates. The YSL Black Opium is just not a compliment- getter. It's a sorry scent.
I think u had the edp version of versace crystal noir. I think u should try the edt one and tell us what u think about it. I have it and it smells so good (no where near spiciy) and also it lasts foreverrr! 😍
I'll have to give it a try!
Haha i actually agree with all but 2 of these but i would never get affended its hilarious. These are my favorite kinds of videos!
Agree with everything, except lira, because I haven't smelled it :p xD good girl smells ok. Nothing great about it. I have it but I'm not wow-ed by it 🙄 Original delina is also just ok. Exclusif is much better. It's got more depth. Crystal noir didn't smell nice to me AT ALL. I don't know why, I couldn't get any coconut notes from it. I got only spicy notes. 😩
fully agree on not taking perfum taste as a personal insult. Just chill!! And I love your comparison of Instant Crush to Chernobyl. 😀oh this is gold!!
Mine are The One Intense, La Belle and Mon Guerlain. But I'm still giving them a chance because no one is gonna use it. Scents are very subjective and I think really depends on your body chemistry and weather too.
Please do a vlog on your profession and hobbies. I love your confidence and sweetness. Hope I can be more like you when I’m your age. You are so cool!
That is so sweet, thank you! 🥰 I'll definitely do some vlogs and chitchat soon
Versace Crystal Noir EDT is better I my opinion :)
I love Good Girl but dry down sometimes leaves the patchouli which I don’t like
I love Lancome Oud Bouqet, on me it smells like a deep deep sweet red rose :) Love it.
Xerjoff Lira is pure heaven to me ❣️
It's refreshing to hear honest opinions. I haven't actually smelled any of these except for black opium floral crush .. which I liked😯
I also don’t vibez with Carolina Herrera Good Girl - too strong for me, irritates my nose. I tried to like it but shame I have a full bottle, good that I got it as a present. I also don’t like most mancera products, you describe the plasticky smell correctly. I love my delina though😉. Great review.
we do not hate you
I agree with you about the Delina. I really don't like the sharp note. I was kinda disappointed that I didn't I like it.
Omg I was thinking of blind buying delina but then this video came and yes I hate aaaaaaall the fragrances you mentioned (I would add la vie est belle). You saved me some money dear!
Yes I agree with la vie est belle too, but I recently bashed it in another video 🤭
@@TheScented aww so kind of you 😹😹
🤣🙈
Girl. With you on Oud Bouquet. Your description is spot on.
We must be fragrance soulmates !! I tried ALL of these fragrances and have the EXACT opinion as you!! We must pull similar notes with fragrances because none of these worked for me either 🤣🤣🤣
You making a content about these scents shows you have good palate for scents and looking cute while trashing them is a plus.😊 very few reviewers do content like this
I totally agree with at least 3 of your views of these fragrances. I was in a love/hate relationship with Delina, I actually bought it and some days I liked it and some days I had regrets. Anyway, after about 6 months of not reaching for it, I gave it away. Great video, thanks.
I just started to get more in to fragrance and I agree with you on Good girl, black opium, and the Crystal one. But I thought I had to figure it out because they were so popular. Glad to hear im not alone!
It's weird how I completely agree with your description of Delina and yet I love it lol. I guess I found out with Delina that I really like this rhubarb note, I have even tried another fragrance that has this same note, so this sharpness ended up pleasing me. I understand why anyone would dislike it tho and that's probably what's so interesting about the exclusif and La Rosée versions. I haven't tried them yet, but I'm planning to.
Ooooh make more of these lol. Although now I'm gonna have to take another whiff of Mancera's Instant Crush lol
All right, so I have met my perfume twin in you 😘👃👭 I also do not like C. H. Good girl, Black Opium, Delina, but I would add JHSG Not a perfume, Escentric Molecules Molecule 3, Laboratorio Olfattivo: Alkemi, Alambar & Nirmal, Nishane Ani, Cartiere Eau, Armani Code & Si, Lancome La vie est belle, ... Yesterday I wrote I was testing Chanel No. 5, I think I like it now a lot, but I couldn't stand it. I did it because I listened to you. Now I know I must listen to you, because we probably have similar chemistry 🤭
I'm so glad you gave No.5 another shot! ❤️ 😊
Oooff girl!!! This was scandalous!! I like it!! Please do more of these!
Haha thanks 🥰 I will, they're fun to film lol
I agree about Lira i have a simple of it, it's horrible but Erba Pura it's Amazinnnng
You might be my fragrance soul sister. Tried most on your list and I agree with all. I will say, I brought Lira in the spring because of the hype and because it sounds like something I should love but nope! But it really isn't a warm weather frag so I'll try again in the fall.
Perfumes that i tried so hard to like, but the end result is still a NO.
1. Baccarat 540
2. Delina & Delina exclusif
3. Black opium
4. Good girl
5. Chanel No 5
6. Any Amouage perfumes
the common bashes commence... YSL/BO, V/CN, yeah yeah yeahhhhhh BUT THEN SHE CAME FOR THE XERJOFF AND DELINA! Cheers on all that realness, girl!
Yep, I agree with your dislikes! Anyone who gets seriously offended by your picks needs to get a life. To get mad over someone's dislike is ridiculous.
