OMG girl you crack me up! I’d love to see more fragrance channels talk about underrated and “not talked about” gems that aren’t new. The “new new new now “ talk is exhausting to me sometimes
FINALLY someone who vibes with the rose & raspberry combo as much as I do! Maria, if you LOVE rose & raspberry as much as I do, and you want the ultimate combo with good longevity (6 hours) and moderate silliage for summer, look no further than Rose of no Man's Land by Byredo! Normally I don't vibe with Byredo because the frags are light as heck, but this rose is the exception, the most delicate yet projecting rose & raspberry combo I've ever smelt! Awesome video!
That purple lipstick looks fabulous on you. Not very many can carry it off. You go girl. Oh yeah most of all I love your channel. You're doing an awesome job. Also I've gotten so many compliments when I layer the dupes of Lancome oud bouquet with Initio atomic rose.
A few years ago everyone talked about Jean Paul gautier la belle edp and it’s still amazing! I’m also puzzled why no one ever talks about Chloe nomade, especially the absolue version. It’s a lifer for me. I don’t think people mention Mon guerlain like they used to, another lifer. And Chanel coco noir is beautiful even if you are not 80.
I’ve never heard anyone talk about that cereal! I think you’re describing what I used to eat as a kid, Cracklin’ Oat Bran! In the US it was in a blue box, I believe. Rectangular cereal shapes with a rectangular hole in the middle? Love your channel, by the way!
Hello Maria,my hidden gems are Oud Wa Vanilla (Berdoues), Bronze Wood & Leather (Jo Melone) , Sellier from Byredo.I love all them,bit masculine leaning,but I like them.And Sel Santal from Clean Reserve😍😍😍😍
Maria you are just epic with those movie series in your head, I think I am basically subscribed because of that😂. No but I actually love your vibe❤. I don’t see people talking about french traditional brands! My favourite is Galimard, but Molinard also caught my attention. I just love the classic natural smelling traditional type of scents. These houses should get better treat😊. Galimard is the oldest perfumery if I’m not mistaken.
I have Dossier's Golden Rum & Amber and I love it. However, I would disagree that it is masculine leaning - to me it is definitely just unisex. In fact, I find it so sweet that I usually layer it with Dossier's interpretation of Jazz Club (I think it is Woody Tobacco?) because it seems to balance out the sweetness of Golden Rum & Amber. But I would definitely recommend it - it's very interesting and deep. I love wearing it in the winter and it performs great!
I have gone through so many bottles of GON Shine! I enjoy the entire range, but Shine is like a top 10 fragrance for me. The scent profile and performance is truly top tier!
I agree that GON Shine is just a little better than the original GON. Like you mentioned, the balance is just a bit better. I think Elie Saab Royale is a bit decisive and that's why it doesn't get talked about as much. It went really wrong for me, it does seem to be the balance of the patchouli. On my skin it is very medicinal and green while still being cloyingly sweet, and the other notes get drowned out. Bee is soooo good, I am always suprised it seems to get so little attention. I love the whole LPRN line and am suprised it doesn't get talked about more. A couple that don't seem to get much attention (at least anymore) that I still love are; Givenchy Ange ou Demon EDP. I find it sexy and beautiful and it performs amazingly. It is a touch mature, so that maybe why some are veering away from it. Burberry Brit EDP. It was massively popular years ago, but I still think it is amazing and not at all dated. Still pretty easy to find for a great price and the reformulation is almost indistinguishable from the older version.
I finally got some Eli Saab samples and Girl of Nowhere Shine was my favorite and I will be adding that one to my collection soon. Other ones I learned about on TH-cam but don’t hear much about are Lalique Soliel, Jimmy Choo Illicit and Lolita Lempicka EDP, oh and of course Rebecca Minkoff EDP and Rebecca Minkoff Blush EDP. All very affordable and just amazing! I’d say SJP Stash too but I feel like it’s gotten the love it deserves.
I swear I haven't heard anyone. Describe fragrances like you do period so many of them. I feel like I could just eat up after hearing your descriptions😊
My favourite hidden gem that no one talks about is "Sexual" (for her) by Michel Germaine. I hate the name BTW. But every time I wear this fragrance someone compliments me. It's kind of a spicy and fresh floral and probably smells dated to a younger nose, as it doesn't smell like a gourmand, have a prominent vanilla note, or fruits. Sillage and longevity are excellent. And finally the price point is very reasonable. Love this one to the point that I bought a backup bottle.
Had the Black Perfecto, but it quickly faded on me, so I used it up pretty fast. I much prefer the original LPRN, and right now I'm thinking of buying the new Absolu flanker... 😊
I haven’t tried Ellis bee, but last week I tested zoologist bee. Can honey be indolic ? It was very intense honey. Ellis bee sounds softer. I might prefer it.
I am one who likes patchouli... And I'm always happy to find something that is strong but not too expensive. Maybe my husband really doesn't like patchouli... He always says that he either likes or dislikes a smell, but he never analyses them.
I own Elie Saab Royal because of your recommendation back in 2021. I love it, I don’t know what the scent is that captivates me, smells like cake and makes me go Mmmm! It may not be something edible but it sure is delightful. On another note: Have you ever tried Michael Buble’s EDP “ By Invitation , Signature” IMO it is a spicy, sexy and long lasting fragrance that I enjoy wearing. I have received compliments and questions of what fragrance I am wearing. Perhaps you might check it out since Michael is our own Canadian celebrity.
Love black perfecto, one of my favourites. I enjoy most of Ellie Saab perfumes but royal is horrible. I don't even want to give it to anyone for a present because i don't know anyone who would like it!
I love Elie Saab Le Parfum Royale! Everything is just so beautiful, even the box it came with! (I prefer to gatekeep this fragrance so I won't smell like everyone.) Elie Saab is a very underrated fragrance brand in general. Then, I was with my best friend when she bought Issey Miyake Rose & Rose so I got to smell it too. As someone who dislikes rose scent, I loved how it smelled because it was a jammy rose. Last year, I gifted her Oscar de La Renta Rose and she said that it smelled like Rose & Rose.
OMG girl you crack me up!
I’d love to see more fragrance channels talk about underrated and “not talked about” gems that aren’t new. The “new new new now “ talk is exhausting to me sometimes
Yes yes me too.. 👍😀
She carks me up, such a great humor she have.. 😂
That’s good to know. I agree, it ends up being a machine of new. There is a balance that needs to be made between the fun new and the old faithfuls!!
OMG! love the stories that go with the perfumes, I just laugh and giggle all the way through, so much fun. Love your shows, thanks for sharing.
I definitely think you should be the director of some perfume advertisements 😂 that creativity can’t me left aside, thoose stories… you are amazing ❤️
"Everybody loves warm nuts!" Lol! When you crack up because your inner 12 year old comes out. 🤣😅🫢😬👀😋
😂😝🤪
Warm and heavy 😂😂
Ugh. OMG 😂
My favorite perfume that no one talks about is Afnan Modeste Deux. You’re the only one I ever hear mention it.
Such a great one!
No one describes fragrances like you. You do the best
I could listen to your descriptions of fragrances all day ❤
Agreed ! That’s why I am addicted to this channel.
Couldn't agree more on My Greek Lover! That's a summer favourite. Fantastic staying power too!
Lovely to hear!
Maria!!! Look how close you are to 15k🎉💃🏻💃🏻
I know!! I’m excited!!

Love your channel, by the way!
Love your detailed descriptions. Thank you 👍
That vivid imagination has me 😂😂😂
I just wore Girl of Now Shine yesterday, layered over Olympea Intense to give it some fruity sweetness. Yum! It lasted all day!!
Lol-all I could think in your movie description and subsequent laughter was “I want what she’s having” 😂
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 "all her minions do her battles for her" I choked when I heard that one. Love your sense of humor
🤣🤣🤣
LPRN black perfecto is in my top 5 perfumes of all time 👍🏻♥️ 🍒I hate that they discontinued it. I have backups
Same here. I can't imagine life without it 😭
08:15 this! This is why i follow your channel 😂 you are so funny and the laughing with yourself is what i love about you!
I’ve been contemplating Shine and The Only One for a long time. I don’t know why I hesitate.
Don’t they are both easy grabs!
Hello Maria,my hidden gems are Oud Wa Vanilla (Berdoues), Bronze Wood & Leather (Jo Melone) , Sellier from Byredo.I love all them,bit masculine leaning,but I like them.And Sel Santal from Clean Reserve😍😍😍😍
From the Untamed samples I tested, the full bottle I chose was My Greek Lover! 💛
black perfecto is one of my all time favorite fragrance.
Omg you crack me up.
Your laugh is contagious.
I love watching your videos.
Hello from Australia 🇦🇺 😊😊
TRY LA PERLA SIGNATURE THE ⚫️ BOTTLE BOUGT IT BLIND AND LOVE IT.

Thanks for mentioning those. I’ve only smelled one molinard but it was lovely…but I can’t remember what it was!!

You are absolutely nuts (in the best possible way) and hilarious 😂❤
Yes! I love Black Perfecto! I do get the leather note, but it definitely takes a back seat to the cherry, almond, rose, and black tea.
I think we have found a New Art Director for fantasy movies❣️
🤣🤣
Love anything Issey Miyaki...❤❤❤... one of my signature fragrances
I soooo needed that laugh😄🤣😂. Amazing! Lol thank you🤗
Till date, whenever I wear girl of now shine I still get compliments it is so so good ❤❤❤❤
Better than girl of now
It’s so good!

Thanks for sharing your picks! Stash had its moment but no one talks about it anymore!

Always lovely listening to your reviews
Oh and way you were ready to lord over your army of minions while wearing your La Parfum Royal had me cracking up!

I love EB Bee as well 🐝🍯💛

GON shine was discontinued?! Oh no. Glad I have a bottle
I should retry My Greek lover...my initial testing was ok..liked the lemon, but the orange blossom was too sharp
Hi Maria ❤ live your vibe and your hair today is even better than usual 😊
Thank you so much!
Yep shine is my fave GON as well 😊
Girl of now shine is my preference too🥰
Crackling Oat Bran??
I haven’t tried Ellis bee, but last week I tested zoologist bee. Can honey be indolic ? It was very intense honey. Ellis bee sounds softer. I might prefer it.
So funny, I bought Le Parfum Royal because you spoke with so much excitement about it, and I like it a lot. But my husband... does't... at all... 😂
Too bad!! It’s pretty strong. I think people like it or they smell patchouli only and hate it!
I am one who likes patchouli... And I'm always happy to find something that is strong but not too expensive. Maybe my husband really doesn't like patchouli... He always says that he either likes or dislikes a smell, but he never analyses them.
Maria, one day we will need to go to Greece together to experience all the aromatic wonders in person! 😉
Yes please!

I haven’t smelled buble’s fragrance ! I will have to check it out
😂😂😂❤I think you should wtite books inspired by fragrances!
Maybe one day!
Love underrated gems! Let’s see what you have.
I just bought golden rum and Amber just to find out it smells like by the fireplace to my nose, which I already have. 😢
Thanks for sharing ❤
"It cld b worn by an assassin, which is also a bad gurl..." 😅😅😅
I wanted black perfecto to be more bada$$. It’s much fruitier than I expected. I’m going to circle back to it with a different mindset.
My hidden gem is Blondine by Frassai
Love black perfecto, one of my favourites. I enjoy most of Ellie Saab perfumes but royal is horrible. I don't even want to give it to anyone for a present because i don't know anyone who would like it!
Thanks for weighing in!! Let your friends sniff it! I bet one of them will be like me and love it 😀
