I’ve started to kick it back vintage-ish. Last summer I came across a woman out in the wild who smelled absolutely intoxicating... she was wearing Jovan White Musk. I was 44 and had never given that scent the time of day 🙄I am absolutely in love with it now (in the summer), so that drove me to delve into other older scents that I had stuck my nose up to. Let me tell you it’s been real humbling for me. I even love White Diamonds after she dries down. And these are cheapies now. So I’m turning away from the trends and looking for ‘standing-the-test-of-time’ classics.

The new version is so sad compared to the version from decades ago. I used to love it, so I bought a bottle of the current version and it’s so disappointing.

To make a short story long😊. When I worked in corporate there was a particular scent I smelled everyday for years. At the time, my perfume knowledge/wear was very limited. Then I started watching social media I began to hear talk about BR540 and how unique it was so I had to have it. One of my first major perfume purchase and journey into the fragrance world. The scent was so familiar that I became disappointed with my purchase. I had no idea this was the perfume almost everybody was already wearing. Although, it took awhile after I left that environment, I began to appreciate the masterpiece (Captain Kurk) gave for us ALL to enjoy. In the end, I just didn't want to give up on it in case it was discontinued or formula changed.

I live in NYC and there is the most FANTASTIC place for a fragrance lover called Exotic Fragrances. It has hundreds of long lasting dupes for $7-10! So fun. It’s the came price as a sample and you get a huge bottle! All smell like the original. I’ve tested many. I have had so much fun and always think it’s my way to sample and I’ll buy the original if I love it. It’s hard to justify spending more though!

I'm a new fragrance enthusiast but the term "cheapies" never sat well with me. I always tell people "affordable" or "inexpensive". I have a collection of Zara perfumes and I'm totally in love. I have an unhealthy obsession with Golden Decade. I also love my Libre(EDP, Intense and Parfum soon), Burberry Her and my La Vie Est Belle for designer scents. As I am new to this hobby, I'm learning from people I watch that I should take my time with adding to my collection because my god is it expensive.

German sales clerks are verrrrry reluctant to give away samples, even with purchases. 🙄. But I think that is changing. The charm offence sometimes works for me. As for cheap fragrances, I think Guess has some good ones, in particular their Seductive Noir. It's fabulous. Sarah Jessica Parker has some gorgeous fragrances. I own Lovely and several flankers. The same with her Stash fragrance. Really a high quality, unique fragrance. It's been discontinued, but you can still find it online. As OG fragrance prices have become so out of control, my strategy as of late is to get a sample of the OG, and find a Middle Eastern equivalent. I used to feel guilty about purchasing "dupes". No longer, although even ME prices have gone up considerably. My most recent success: Liquid Brun, by Fragrance World. This is a spot-on, and I mean spot-on, dupe of PdM's Althaïr. Gorgeous vanilla. And 40€ for 100 ml. Not exactly a cheapie, but.......Also love all the super cheap Boum fragrances at Notino. They are like 5 Euros a bottle? It's just fun buying them and sampling them. They are my sleep scents.😊

Hi. I had Calvin Klein Euphoria. I gifted Thierry Mugler Alien Eau Extraordinaire. It is an amazing scent. When I was in university, I used to have three perfumes, use it up and buy new ones. I was always fascinated by scents, but I only got into perfumes in 2022. I only have two niche scents and the rest are designers. My favourite brands are Dior, Chanel and YSL. In fall of 2023, I got into Bath and Body works because of the ballet collection. I don’t want to buy more at the moment, but I’m tempted by Vanilla Romance. My favourite affordable brand is Fine’ry.

I’m terms of cheapies I Ike snif…vanilla, Rosa, I too have and like 4711. I bought a number of decants this year because I have an extensive and expensive collection at this point. I’m a bit of a snob and the more niche I have the less I can stand designer, it’s bad! Flankers make me crazy and I’ve accidentally bought wrong bottles just getting confused. Too many new releases and the prices of classics are outrageous.

Enjoyed your video. You are ✅️ when going into stores to just smells and try on fragrances, the SA usually come trying to sell you a fragrance or spray you with one they are trying to sell. Samples are very expensive but sometimes they will find one to give you😊 I still enjoy older fragrances as well like, CK One and Eternity by Calvin Klein and Perry Ellis the original light green one. They are all fresh and clean to me. Also Alien Mugler is one of my top fragrances. The one from 2019 was my first experience with that one. TFS 😊

I have been very selective and what I get these days of the new recent releases, I selected three . dear sky by Ellis Brooklyn, afternoon delight by Replica and Phlur’s Heavy Cream. I got all in travel sizes and was able to get a sample from Sephora free with the order of Dear Sky of the new Libre flanker. I’m happy with travels and very happy with body mists especially in the summer. Chicago can be very humid and a perfume can be a little much. Love the chit chat videos 🥰

Hi I agree with all of the points made here in this video with your viewers and you and I am fairly new to this hobby about three years now. I do struggle with buying samples because it seems like no one place has all of the perfumes I want to sample and when you’re dealing with shipping prices, you want to be able to buy them all from one place so that’s struggle of mine. I think my taste in Fragrances is very similar to yours, with the exception of two which are alien… And libre. I cannot deal with alien as that Indic Jasmine turns my stomach. It is even similar in alien goddess intense I like alien goddess, but not the intense version. Thank you for your entertaining videos. I really like watching them.

Still very much enjoying this series you've been doing Arlene. I too was blown away by the OG Alien but I cannot wear the reformed version because the ambrox thing they use now smells like wet, sour pine lumber - it's all I can smell in Alien now and I hate it. I can however wear a dupe of Alien that I found that does not have this whatever it is in it - Ajmal Sacrifice. I have also found that I was more apt to be blown away by fragrances early on in my perfume "hobby". Those that have stuck with me over the years and I can't shake are Guerlain - Spiriteuse Double Vanille, L'Heure Bleue, Oriental Brulant, Shalimar vintage extrait, Mitsouko, Iris Ganache, Angelique Noire, Cuir Beluga, mostly the non-fruity perfumes. Also blown away by many Tom Ford's - Tobacco Vanille, Plum Japonais, Sahara Noir, Amber Absolute, Black Orchid. Serge Lutens - Fumerie Turque, Amber Sultan, Santal de Mysore, Chergui, Datura Noir. Frederic Malle - Carnal Flower, Musc Ravageur. Dior - the OG Addict, Poison, Mitzah. Amouage - Jubilation XXV Man. HdP Tubereuse 3 Animale. CdG - Daphne, Black, Avignon. Lubin - Idole. Chanel - Coco Noir. Mugler - Angel Liqueur de Parfum, Over the Musk, Alien Essence Absolue. Kilian - the OG Love Don't Be Shy, Angel's Share. Keiko Mecheri - Loukhoum Parfum du Soir. Cartier - Baiser Vole Essence de Parfum, the OG Must de Cartier extrait. YSL - Opium parfum, Babycat, Caftan. L'Occitane - Immortelle de Corse. Annick Goutal - Songes. Montale - Patchouli Leaves. Theo Fennell - Scent. JPG - Gaultier 2, La Belle. Givenchy - L'Interdit Rouge. Le Labo - Rose 31. Stella McCartney - the OG Stella. L'Artisan - Seville a L'Aube. Xerjoff - Mamluk. MFK - Grand Soir. Penhaligon's - Amaranthine. Rochas - the OG Byzance. VC&A - the OG Midnight in Paris edp....... these, to me, are so good that I still probably compare everything else to them :) I think I must be the only person in the world who doesn't like MFK BR 540, but it has that weird woody accord/ambrox thing that I can't wear - it's the pits. I'm the one who said I felt rebellious, and you got me right Arlene. The inflation of perfume prices has made me feel strongly like pushing back against it. I don't want to just save a few bucks, I want to change the industry, I want to send them a message :) What can I say, I can't help it, it's the motto of my generation, haha! :D

I feel overwhelmed!!! So I’m sticking with my classic loves and samples of gourmands say ( as those are new in my world to me ) for ex I haven’t worn my poison in so long! Yesterday was chilly…so I put it on and it was PERFECTION! Nothing that let me down like new scents!! I know Poison projects I know it lasts on me! And for some reason on me? It becomes Uber y! It has all the notes in perfumery I love and I realized ahhh this has always been my signature! The last two years I was trying things wasting money and I Literally only fell for maybe 3 perfumes out of the hundreds I smelled!! So I’m back to my signatures!! They don’t let me down. Golden decade is part of my signatures now! Burberry Her and Goddess made the cut. And on that’s discontinued that I gate keep ( a good cinnamon is hard to find now that people want freshies or gourmands ) Crystal noir, Soleil Blanc and pistachio yum….him but I did learn a lot the last two years with this as a hobby! But no longer will I panic when a new one comes out! I have the different families I love for all my seasons ! 💕 Also for the Killians and the TF?? I buy the dupes!!! Tf tobacco Vanille I buy the Flavia dupe, and khamrah is close enough to angels share I don’t like the alcohol vibes in Killian! It’s about the spices!! 😅but I’ve found my happy space in this world no more falling for every release 😅
