The guy who said "la vie est belle" smells like a new life was so spot on with the perfume's name and the ad's storytelling that I thought he was channeling something ! Than he said Euphoria smelled like depression ... oups.
These videos are so entertaining. Thanks for doing a slate of woman's fragrances. It's funny to see the reactions when the reveal was done. Brand name and packaging clearly influence shopping. The blind sampling clearly took away that influence on the panel. Some of them looked surprised by what they preferred in the end.
I think “group blind reacts to oud fragrances” would be a great idea. You can use it to explore the whole spectrum from tom ford synthetic oud to montale animalic synthetic and maybe even something with real stinky oud to finish with
@@garypierce7380 the other day I used a sample of Oud for Greatness and my daughter kept telling me how good I smelled she said “Omg mommy, you smell like papa, he always smelled so good!” That was the last day I used it 😆 Smells great though - for a man.
@@leilani_808 I'd definitely recommend sampling some different oud scents if you're able, it can change depending on the other notes present, definitely not a solely masculine note (imo at least)
I love these reaction videos and my favorite amongst the panel is definitely the big guy with the beard. He's the most entertaining and has some spot on takes. I'm into fragrances and agree with most of what he says. Keep them coming.
Jim is like a dumpster fire. I don't like it but I can't look away. 95% of the time he is extremely negative but his descriptions are hilarious. His ability to speak absolute nonsense with confidence is impressive.
Right and literally that fragrance is majority loved by younger women now 🤣 I’m 23 and I love Gucci bloom even the other flanker of it the yellow one 🤣
Great line up ! I can't believe the Boring Daisy was up there as peoples faves ! :D And the rest is grandma vibes ?! :D Gab and Jim are closest to my taste ! Fun video as always.
I realize that the average person can't describe perfumes very well, but these ageist comments are not necessary. 😑 I'm not aquainted with any grandmothers who wear Gucci Bloom, but the ones who do certainly smell fantastic.
I agree they say it like being old is a bad thing. A less ageist way of putting it would be to say the perfume leans more mature or has a classic smell about it.
They’re all Gen Z or Millennials so their reactions are not shocking and quite honest, they’re not obligated to use political correct terms for older people, as Gen X I’m tickled by their reactions
why are you so sensible ? it's not like they are saying grandmas stink. It's just a very specific type of scent profile that we associate with older women, when I smell Gucci Bloom I immediately think in my mom (middle 50's) so that's it, it's too mature for my taste.
YSL Libre is god tier for me, I got a strip in my wallet and it made my drawer and my wallet smell amazing for over a week. Actually my wallet still has some scent left and it’s been 2 weeks now.
@@fragitude Sounds like the intense version is a great blind buy, I can’t even get the 90mL version in my country on the count that it’s highly sought after.
1. I love these types of videos and always click with a quickness when I see them lol 2. Where's Tressa? I miss her energy and humor, although Jim seriously is a male version of her 😆 3. I was wondering if any of the ladies were going to recognize the scents as they smelled them because they all are generally very popular in the mass appeal way 4. I'd love to know what fragrances they wear and love on others
I would love to see blind reaction to tom fords f. fabulous. I think that is the most overratted fragrance out there and the only reason some people love it so much is due to edgy name and of course the brand itself
Lancome la Vie Est Belle smells too mainstream for me. It's got an old-money/mean-girl vibe. 🤣 Definitely not a personal preference. It's not bad at all, but it's not for those who prefer to think outside the box.
I could never understand that blond girl with the cap, why she kept compare the fragrances to the bottle cap root beer favor or whatever. I never drink root beer but like so many fragrances she had said the same thing, which, I am 100 sure, does not smell like that at all!
Unfortunately the good smell on the paper won’t be the same on your girl’s skin! So it’s hard to buy a good parfume for your girl if her body’s chemical reaction to that parfume is sensitive. So surprising none of the blind tester likes YSL Libre..🤢
I bought La Vie est Belle based on the paper smell, but after putting on my skin it made me vomit, I spent a day trying to scratch it off my skin. I had to give it away.
I'm disappointed. I've bought my wife gallons of perfume and YSL Libre is by far the best. I guess if the girls want to smell like lollipops and cotton candy, that's their prerogative. If you want an inexpensive teenie perfume, then just stick to Love's Baby Soft or something from Britney Spears. 😅
All these videos just portray basic young people who think La Vie Est Belle and other basic mainstream scents being the best thing ever. Anything outside of their narrow mindset is considered “old” or “grandma”. I’m 32, but I’m going to hug my vintage perfumes tightly tonight.
Do a unisex fragrance video. Also a Tom Ford fragrance video I would like to see how their noses react to the various pricier ones Vs the more moderately priced ones.
It reads very immature when some of them write off everything as old lady scent. Put some thought into it. 🤦♀️You associate it with the smells you recall growing up, so it probably has the florals that were popular during that time frame; you remember your mother wearing it or it from department stores while shopping with the adults as a kid.
“Something like your grandma would wear/smells like my grandma’s house” I think this channel as a whole can definitely do better in getting people who can make more informed comments about perfumes. I actually love your reviews…but this…I’m over it 🤷🏽♀️
I think it's good to have people that don't know much about fragrances, because they represent the 99.5% of the population that knows next to nothing about perfumes
@@cherrysunburst828 yes absolutely! Love you to raw reviews from people who may not necessarily be as into fragrances compared to the community. However, would love for them to have a passable vocabulary or range of expressions to be able to effectively communicate their views. Smells like your grandma is not descriptive or even imaginative…just plain lazy.
Guess you're a narcissist then. You said "my" and that's first person. I think you meant to say *third person.* And many people refer to them themselves in the third person depending on the context.
@@shireads2954 No. I don't know a single person who refers to themselves in the third person and when others do it, I get a cold chill down my spine. And please....PLEASE give me a situation where the context calls for using the third person to describe yourself. I'd love to hear it. This is just a BS answer and an excuse to show how "smart" you are because I got the use of third person wrong.
@@jimbeam4140 ps. If I just wanted to seem smart, I would have simply corrected you about your misuse of words. I don't need an excuse. But your armchair diagnosis was also incorrect.
@@shireads2954 If it was incorrect, then why haven't you offered a context where the third person is perfectly normal to use. Just saying I was incorrect is meaningless. As for my "armchair diagnosis," where is your diagnosis coming from? A throne?
@@jimbeam4140 I'm done having this conversation. I'm losing brain cells, because you can't recognize an example when it's given, and you don't know the difference between a diagnosis, and disagreeing with a diagnosis. I didn't give a new diagnosis. Leave me alone. I would like to maintain my IQ
LOL the reaction to Euphoria - "this is the smell of depression". Literally the exact opposite of the frag name. I cried laughing.
Concordo Melissa, o euphoria não tem nada de depressivo, para mim é o cheiro de uma mulher decidida
yup it was good one
La vie est belle being described as fresh and clean was pretty funny to me. The conclusion here is to wear whatever you like guys!
It is súper heavy to me, I cant stand the patchouli 😞😞😞
Exactly. La vie est belle is anything but fresh and clean…..
This is shows how everyone have different taste on different smells, so guys go with what you really like rather than what people say is good !!
Well said
The guy who said "la vie est belle" smells like a new life was so spot on with the perfume's name and the ad's storytelling that I thought he was channeling something ! Than he said Euphoria smelled like depression ... oups.
U guys should get "fragrance enthusiasts" to blind reactt....let's see how good they are

We can see how doing videos with notes only would work. Oud would be an interesting one to sample for sure.
They would say all of them smell like grandpa.

@@leilani_808 I'd definitely recommend sampling some different oud scents if you're able, it can change depending on the other notes present, definitely not a solely masculine note (imo at least)
I can't wait to hear Gen Z's children and grandchildren calling Britney Spears Fantasy and Viva La Juicy "old lady scents."
🤢
My favourite comment.
The older women in my family wear Angel, Coco Mademoiselle, and Hypnotic Poison, old women scents are great actually.....
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
It’s sad how people can be disrespectul to older people. Geez… you definitely can express your opinion with ellegance.
Gab and Stella consistently appreciate more than the others

Hilarious in an unintentional way.

Euphoria “This is the smell of depression”. 😬😆
This group is now officially known as ✨Group Bling ✨
I support this
I love how Gucci bloom was associated mainly as a grandmother type of smell 😂 the heavy white floral will do that.
Right and literally that fragrance is majority loved by younger women now 🤣 I’m 23 and I love Gucci bloom even the other flanker of it the yellow one 🤣
@@thebambino8024it depends on where you live, in my Country no young woman is wearing Gucci Bloom, that's a perfume you gift to your mom or grandma

I'm assuming "Bling" in the title is supposed to be "Blind", but I also like the idea that the group named themselves Group Bling.
Oh man…fixed now.
@@BaldassarreFragrance All good, just joking. Big fan of the channel!
Everytime I come around your city, Bling Bling.
Maybe the statistics dont bear it out for the investment, but if theres a chance that they do, i would love more videos on different female fragrances
Narciso Rodriguez for her (EDT) smells so much better and stronger on skin. I think it's one of the best women's designer fragrances out there.
Jim is spot on with some fragrances in describing the emotions, Gab is cool
YSL Libre is god tier for me, I got a strip in my wallet and it made my drawer and my wallet smell amazing for over a week. Actually my wallet still has some scent left and it’s been 2 weeks now.
I got my mom libre intense on account of it winning awards on Fragrantica. It smells wonderful and my mom loved it.
@@fragitude Sounds like the intense version is a great blind buy, I can’t even get the 90mL version in my country on the count that it’s highly sought after.
Girl with the leather jacket, I like her taste. ✨ Girl with the cap, always fun to hear her adjectives 🤣
I wish I was in this group because I feel like I would be able to name them all!!
Keep these blind challenges coming!
ppl associate tuberose smell with grandmas and mums, as the 80' bangers was full of tuberose, bold and loud
I have only recently come to love tuberose perfumes for this very reason.
Omg, the "she has a walker" when euphoria came out in 2005 has me feeling so attacked!
I still love CK Euphoria. I don’t care what anybody says.
CK Euphoria smells regal. Yes!
I wonder what the "root beer bottle caps" accord that Gab picks up on in some fragrances comes from.
"I don't know how long women live to"😆😆😂😂😂...like there some strange species 😂😂
Great video guys defenilty need more of these.
If I knew a fragrance youtuber, I’d totally want to be in videos like this!
The dude talking about his grandma's wig...a lot to unpack there.

Conclusion: Gucci bloom = grannies house 😂
Or, if you ask Jim, Prom Queen😂
This is is a clear example That the perfime DEfINITLY is associated with personality

Finally a video for the femme side
we love these videos!
Euphoria ' Smell the depression '
hey girls..STOP WEARING LA VIE EST BELLE IN HIGH HEAT! JUST STOP
Damn I agree
“Smells like depression” this guy’s comments are hilarious but also pretty acurate 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂bring him next time
I love these videos!
Do companies send you fragrances for reviewing?
I don't think so, these fragrances are popular and well-known!
Not the ones in this video I would guess, it’s usually the more luxury or indie brands that send out free bottles and these ones are mass market
gab and James are the best
Bring Tressa back, please

Prerogative by Britney Spears is pretty good. If you like sweetly spiced coffee scents.
