Yes I see your point about the underrated gem thing. You reminded me about Bennetton Hot which I re-purchased. Super underrated. J Lo Miami Glow is imo an underrated gem. Some people view it as basic but on my skin it does not translate like that. On me it smells like a high-end shampoo. I purchased Still when she released it. It's classic. Another u.g. is Amazing from Bill Blass. This is an absolute dealbreaker for Mimosa lovers.

Sarah, thank you so much for always recommending actually affordable gems. I’m in college so money is tight but I can still fuel my love for perfume with these excellent budget fragrances. ❤

So many good cheapies. I used to wear Charlie Gold a long time ago and that is still around today for cheap. CK Truth is like $12 and it's gorgeous.

I'm never a perfume snob I love my cheapie gems like KK Pure Honey

One of the best affordable gems you gave me was KK Pure Honey. I love it. I also purchased Pitbull for women, Love Sofia Vergara, Khloe Lamar Unbreakable Love because of you. I hunt for underrated gems most of the time. 🌹

I totally remember Sirene and True Love!! I had a bottle of Ethere actually way back

True love’s perfume nose is amazing. She has concocted some of the most beautiful scents! Bill Blass Nude, Bvlgari pour femme, Eternity, Exclamation(1st love), Tresor, Oscar De La Renta Volupté, Perry Ellis 360, YSL Paris and Parisienne! Sophia Grojsman is probably my favorite!

Another hidden gem = Elizabeth Arden Red Door Revealed. (nothing like OG Red Door.) Very luscious Peony and Rose.

I will definitely need to get my nose on it! ❤️

Two other gems are Cabotine by Gres and Coriander by Jean Courtier. Also, recently discovered Something Blue by Oscar de la Renta. It has a beautiful Linden blossom note, perfect for Summer. Wonderful video!

I totally get the 80's vibe you get from Pure Honey. I get it too but i couldnt put my finger on it but when i think about it does smell a little like a light version of Giorgio Beverly Hills

I love Still - I reach for that all the time in summer. I’ll definitely try True Love again.

Love affordable underrated gems! Yes to Burberry London, if you have CK beauty, they are very similar

I have to say I've only heard of 2 that you showed us today, very interesting! Especially that Sirene 😍

Love the affordable gems! TFS! No need to spend too much!

I truly appreciate when you make these type of fragrance review videos. I love finding affordable hidden gems you don't have to spend a lot of money on fragrances. In my opinion some of the affordable fragrances smell better then some of the more expensive one's.

Pure honey is gorgeous and classy. Absolutely love it

Thanks for these Sarah! You never fail us when it comes to best affordable gems. JLO Still reminds me of my childhood bestie Lisa 🥰 It is her signature. I think it's one of the best celebrity perfumes ever created. The last best affordable gem I picked up was Embrace Green Tea & Pear Blossom, Vera Wang I think. I find it at Duane Reade and it's a gorgeous clean summer perfume. 😊 I need to get my nose on those Wild Spirit scents. Thanks again!!!!

Sirene is stunning. One of my best girlfriends wore it. It never worked for me cause Rose is fickle on my skin. I also remember True Love. I feel like I knew a few people who wore that one. There is an incredible Bath & Body Works fragrance that my coworker always raves about. I believe it's called Into the Night and it is incredible... I need to pick up a bottle.

Elizabeth Arden Fragrance for just $ 12 ?? Wow!! That’s unbelievable!! I am a fragrance nut!! Love perfumes from The 80 s & 90s .

Hi beautiful! I have heard another KZreadr talking about the Guess Indigo..she also spoke highly of it and it made me want to buy it. I just bought 4 different Comptoir Sud Pac. fragrances off Mercari and waiting for them to arrive. I have not been able to find a vanilla gourmand perfume that I can even smell on myself so I cannot wait to get these! I got the Vanilla Extreme, Coco Extreme, Van Abricot and Van Blackberry. I can only hope and pray I even like one of them!! I have a few frags (Outremer Vanille, Solinotes, etc). I can barely smell anything. I hope with time they get a little stronger.. I have had very bad blind buys lately so I just keep searching!! Thanks for another great video!!

You mentioned a few that I have come to love as well and agree that they are hidden gems. J.Lo Still is one I blind bought and did not expect to love it like I do. It's not my absolute favorite scent but I wear it the most out of all my scents because it is just so easy to wear. I get compliments on it and my friend smelled it on me and liked it so I bought her a bottle and now she loves it so much. Also, Guess 1981 Indigo, I blind bought a big bottle on sale for like 10 bucks, couldn't figure out if I liked it so I donated it to a thrift store. Then I kept wanting to smell it again so I found a 1 ounce and got it then found a big bottle again and got it also. Lasting power on that one is low but I still love it because it's very unique to me. Burberry London, is also one I really liked but sold or swapped it. Periodically I think about getting it again. Great video!!
