I haven’t smelled it but I’m a migraine sufferer so I think I’ll avoid it. For me La Vie est Belle is migraine in a bottle, makes me nauseous and I feel like it’s strangling me. It amazes me how some can love a perfume and it’s horrible for others.

Call me a Negative Nancy,, but these are my favorite videos...the ones about perfumes you hate.😂

Obsession was the very first high-end fragrance I purchased when I started working. I bought it very shortly after it first came out in the 80s and paid $40.00 which to me was a fortune! I can tell you that the smell was unlike anything I had ever smelled before. It was so sexy and unique at that time. I then grew to hate it because everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, started wearing it. I don't know what the new formulation smells like, but it still has enough of the original DNA so that I recognize it the minute I smell it on someone.

The civet in the original has been replaced by a synthetic plastic musk. I found the original too much as it really went skanky on my skin. In the new version that plastic musk just kills it for me. I keep retrying it to see if I can appreciate it and I just don't think it's a match for my chemistry.

@@goofygirl1311 I can see that happening - some notes just don't mix well with a person's individual body chemistry which is why some fragrances are so polarizing. A lot of people don't like fragrances with musk or patchouli notes because it smells like BO on them. On me, they both smell incredible and I tend to get the most compliments on fragrances that contain those notes. On the other hand, anything too aquatic or any perfume described as "sparkling" smells gross on me. They start out sharp and then turn kind of sour. Go figure....

Black Orchid is one of my favorite scents, but I do understand where you come from. My skin does not pull any earthiness from that scent, its all coco and flowers, without getting sweet. Heavy big monster - yes it is, but is a smooth fluffy purring monster.

I've been waiting for the day when a Fragrance Reviewer smashes the bottles of things they hate; it seems my wait will continue. On a somewhat related note, some guys were talking about Calvin Klein Obsession for Women on Joey Cannoli's livestream, it seems men love to wear it. Regarding your characterization of Mancera's Instant Crush being a chemical disaster, I would expand on that by suggesting they're likely all chemical disasters. I can't say I think highly of any of my Mancera fragrances. Maybe I should start a KZread channel and start smashing some bottles eh?

Sassy Yana activated :D I just wanted to say how much I agree on Scandal. And I thought something was wrong with me because a lot of fragrance reviewers were saying that it was amazing, but I thought it was waaay too sticky sweet. And I do normally like sweet fragrances. I do love Noir de noir though, but for sentimental reasons. It reminds me a lot of the perfume that my granny had when I was little, but I can't find it anywhere because I only remember the bottle and my granny doesn't remember the brand of the name, but it was some vintage French perfume, according to my mom. Noir de boir is a very close match, so I think I might buy a bottle. Anyway, also wanted to wish you Happy New Year! I hope this year will be full of joy no matter the difficulties that might appear time to time.

Happy new year to you! Agree with another commenter remarking on how absolutely gorgeous you look, especially being a new mom and likely not sleeping much. Mugler’s Angel dang near made me lose consciousness several times being stuck in an elevator with a neighbor of mine who wears it as her signature scent. There’s something in it that makes me fall into an asthmatic coughing fit to the point where I’m gasping for air and seeing stars. My throat closes up, what a hot mess 🤢😵‍💫😱! Now, when I smell her (Angel is smelled before the wearer is seen), I reroute my entrance and exit into my building, it’s that horrendous.

I had sample of black orchid, I was so disappointed in it, so glad I didn’t blind buy

Flowerbomb and Girl of now give me stroooooong headache and sometimes nausea I totally agree about the original Scandal, why would someone want to smell like synthetic honey? 🤔 But i like all the other flankers

I don't see anything special in Black orquid and Santal 33, and I hate Chanel 5 and Shalimar.

Isnt it crazy how different scents are on different people!! Instant crush is my #1 in my collection of 30 odd perfumes, spicy, sweet, saffron and woody its just perfect and i always get compliments!!

I love Back to black but Yes, I am allowed to wear it only when I am alone all day. I freaking love it!!! The best compliment I got was “you smell like a men”

Don't apologize girl! IMO, even if I don't share taste with someone, it's good to hear different opinions. To me, I feel that sometimes that's the way we learn new things. For certain one perfume can work well on one person, and not on another person... and all because of individual body chemistry. Sometimes I've gone on Fragrantica to look at ratings of a perfume I really love, and I see that it's rated lower than I'd hope, but what the heck, I like it and some don't. To me it's interesting to see all the different views. Keep being yourself - it's a wonderful thing! Btw, you are looking so fabulously beautiful!! I've seen before about different fragrances, that every so often I see a review where someone says the exact same thing you mentioned "I smell pickles" and different people say it about different perfumes (not necessarily the one you mentioned today). Just interesting - I have to wonder what is the common element between those various perfumes. Or maybe people that have similar body chemistry. I totally am part of the "I don't like Obsession" club too.

Oooooh...loved Red Door and went tbrough a couple bottles back in the day. You are making me want to smell it again!😄

The way you described Scandal made me laugh because in 6 months, you will be wiping “scandal stickiness” off the high chair tray over and over. I agree with your description.

I appreciate this video for your honesty and your descriptions. I like that you explain exactly what about the scent that bothers you whether its a memory that the scent invokes or the actual scent profile. That Elizabeth Arden Red Door is truly old Aunty smell. It lingers and heaven forbid someone wearing it hugs you and you'll smell it all dang day. *sighs The phrase 'headache in a bottle' is so accurate. That is how I feel about Jessica Simpson's Fancy Love (white bottle). That JPG Scandal - I cannot either. It chokes me.

Great list!! I agree with you on Black Orchid and Womanity! You should definitely give the vintage formula of Obsession a try… it’s really nice! I got a small bottle on eBay several years ago and have really enjoyed it. Red Door I like because it’s just SO nostalgic for me… if it weren’t for that, I’m not sure I’d like it. Thanks for posting!! You look great!! xo

When it comes to Fragrances it’s important that people understand what works for them might not work for other people and vice versa. I’ve tried many fragrances that the so called experts spoke highly about and when I tried them I couldn’t stand them. Mancera Cedrat Boise Intense, Tom Ford Oud Wood, Dior Savage, just to name a few are all scents that I just do not like on my skin. That doesn’t mean they won’t work for you. That being said I love how you mention what doesn’t work for you. It’s helps to hear someone disapprove of a fragrance because that will also make you think twice before purchasing it. When time permits can you please make a video on you’re top all season fragrances for men and the best fragrances you like to smell on a man. Thank You 🙏🏽

Love your honesty happy new year

I also have a very hard time with sandalwood, it often goes very, very wrong for my nose. A few fragrances I hate are; Atelier Vanille Insensee, Chloe EDP and Marc Jacobs Decadence (the whole line). Most of the time I hate TF Black Orchid (headache inducing), but very occasionally I find it beatiful. I have a travel spray and that is all I will ever need.

I smelled dill in Decadence, but, thankfully, it passed. I feel like I just watched a video where Yana liked Scandal, or a flanker? Some frags are love/hate, so maybe it went the way of Olympéa?! Happy New Year!🌹

I dont wear any of these except black orchid which smells GREAT on me. But fragrance is subjective and why I never buy anything unless I wear it first. The dry down lasts the longest so until I smell that, I don't buy. I almost bought Gucvi Bloomm but a friend let me use hers and I liked the top notes but hated the dry down on me.

It's so funny the way perfumes can just smell so different on people. I've never been able to wear Shalimar, it smells like furniture polish on me and on 2 separate occasions after I'd sprayed it, people asked Meir I'd been polishing! One person said 'ooo it smells lovely in here, I love furniture polish smell' (I stopped wearing it after that, could spray myself with Pledge for much cheaper!) Chanel No 5 also smells awful on me, as does Obsession and one of my worst was Loulou!

Red Door... Oh gosh I TOTALLY am with you on that! It was a bitter heavy powder vintage-in-the-worse-way heavy mess to my nose.

Black Orchid has some note or some blend that smells like bong water to me. Blech. The current Obsession smells like Old Man Noggin. Blech. OG (round top) Red Door smells like Xmas to me. It's actually nice.

i agree on Santal 33-ugh! Pickles! There is the same hint in Santal Musc which has bothered me when I’ve worn it as well.. Also I don’t understand Samsara. It’s like 30% sandalwood but doesn’t smell like it to me- and I have a 30 year old bottle.

The original Poison, by Dior... It's very aptly named. Came out around the time Obsession and all the older girls at school were wearing those two

I Bought a Bottle of Serge Lutens Fils De Joie was so excited because of the two Jasmine types, all I got was Animalic Honey pee with intense Sugared Ylang. I’m gonna Try a few more times! Though it may stay a Hate 😩

I don't mind flowerbomb, but it is extremely popular... I'm really curious about the new Ruby Orchid one as well

I agree with you on Black Orchid. I just can’t get on board. For me (don’t come for me) it’s Coco Mademoiselle. I put it on me and within 5 minutes I had a horrible headache and could not scrub it off fast enough and then it kept lingering for the rest of the day. Just was horrible to me.

I love black orchid so I can’t agree with that but FINALLY I see someone that agrees with me on coco mademoiselle! I don’t mind it on other people but on me I can’t stand it ! It gave me a headache and for some reason even heartburn (which kept happening each time I gave it a try )

@@user-ix4nq9yz8k Black Orchid I keep trying to like but it must be my body chemistry. But Coco Mademoiselle….was just awful from the beginning. Didn’t get the heartburn though 🤣🤣.

I hate instant crush, too. I sprayed it on a sweater and it won’t come off even after washing it.

Hello, I thought for a long time that it was just me who hated SANTAL 33. As you said, it smells of dill, sauerkraut, horrible!For Mancera, I don't know if I really like something. Everything I could test smelled of chemical. But there are so many beautiful scents on the market, for all tastes, for all prices! Even if a perfume is very appreciated by the community, very publicized, (see Santal 33) it is necessary to test before paying the price. :)

La Vie est Belle, I don’t even know if I hate the smell because I instantly felt like it was trying to kill me. Spike in the eye migraine, gagging nausea and a strangling feeling all at once. Horrible. My grandmother’s Emeraude also tried to kill me. Sadly Guerlain Spirituase double Vanille smells like spinach I’ve left too long in the fridge and it’s started to go slimy and rotten. This makes me sad. Mon Guerlain also gives me a headache but I wish it didn’t because I like the smell.

happy New year!! i cannot do Light Blue, Dior Addict and Womanity. and i cannot smell the One Intense or Hypnotic or Dior Girl. it's strange !!

I also DO NOT get what people are raving about with Mancera Instant Crush and seeing it on "most complimented" lists! I have both BR540 and the Extrait in the massive 200ml bottles... But Instant Crush was a chemical mess to me.

What lip color are you wearing it is lovely

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ready for this one!!!

Yes, the modern Obsession sucks. You have to try a vintage edp or parfum. They’re quite inexpensive on eBay.

Fragrance I definitely don’t wanna wear ever - Paco Rabanne 1million and creed aventus 😬 ..santal 33 body oil works for me but not the perfume, together with diptyque body oil - it puts me to sleep😅. Nice video..relate relate, don’t actually own the ones you mentioned 🤔

black orchid headache in a bottle totally agree

I had a bottle of CK Obsession break in a suitcase once many years ago and it saturated my bedroom for months. There isn't a scent I LOATHE more.

Great video 💯

I can agree with most of these! One that I cannot stand, but many people love, is Chanel Coco Noir. It smells like synthetic chemicals to me and can’t smell any of the good stuff that people talk about.

Oh I agree so much with Coco Noir I don’t understand why someone would like to smell like that

I LOVE YOUR ''NEGATIVE'' VIDEOS :)

Ariana G. Cloud. Love the bottle. However, A Cloud should smell ozonic. Fresh, Clear. So, I was surprised when it arrived. Too sweet and opaque and linear. Not like I imagined. Like being snuffed out of existence by a high fructose corn syrup dense marshmallow. Some say it smells like BR 540. So, I’ll pass on BR 540.
