🌟 About this video
This is every fragrance that's come into my life in the last 6 months. Some fragrances were purchased, some gifts from friends, some PR gifted by Sana Jardin and even a giveaway win! I've been trying not to buy as much perfume as last year and so far, so good, but is what I've purchased a true love or on the chopping block for a declutter? Here I review my full bottle fragrance choices, including some blind buys, and I tell you my thoughts on whether they have a place long term in my perfume collection.

I think it's clear that my collection is for me and not for YT 🤣 I am still doing a bit of blind buying though and I think that is showing with me not getting on with a few of these. Lesson relearnt hopefully! 2 really isn't a lot, that's great 👍 I hope you love them! I didnt add up how many I actually bought myself, but my bet is that it was 7/8.

    I loved your haul video Claire! I too had Green Lover and decluttered it. I loved looking at the bottle so much in my collection but it put me in mind of a gin & tonic crossed with a tic tac. It wasn’t expensive so I just gave it to a coworker and he finished it for me. I’m trying not to add any more 100 ml bottles to my collection either, unless they are mid-low partials, but I’m really intrigued about Bouquet Encore! Enjoy the weekend!

    Thanks for sharing Claire! My favorite so far is Guerlain Angélique Noire. I had ruled out this fragrance because I would not pay $400 for 100ml. But, It was on ebay new in box, batch code from 1/2024 for $278!!! And I think the travel spray or 50ml size is definitely a better option. I hate that the beauty of the bottle & price per ml woos me toward the 100ml.

    Hey Claire! I really love your videos ! I have recently gone to Sephora and I noticed that there were no Miss Dior testers. They may have been kept In 19:26 a cupboard ! I get annoyed when I see no testers in fragrance stores and I m still wondering how come that things that used to be given to us for free ( samples) we must now pay . I see people's rights are becoming restricted more and more and we don't react to it. Thanks for the video, always food for thought.

We've never really ever had samples here in stores. I would have loved that! I get the occasional one through Insta, but that's really the only place where I seem them offered... Shopping is a very different experience these days! I totally get the lack of samples with smaller brands because they are pricey for them to make and time consuming, but I don't get it with larger brands... Thanks for watching 🥰

    ​@@dr.claire.perfumethanks Claire, it would be good to sample Green Lover. The only other Phlur fragrance I've tested is Tangerine Boy. It was nice but didn't blow my socks off. Father Figure is beautiful - powdery, woody with iris and fig. Just wish it was stronger but I believe all Phlur fragrances are on the quieter side. Lost in the City is great for hot days. It's quite tart with the rhubarb, which I find present most of the wear time, so may not be for you as I think you're not keen on sharp fragrances?

    Hey Claire - Happy Belated Birthday! 🎉 40 is a fabulous age! I enjoyed this vid 💛💛 I have been the *opposite* of restrained this year 😳 In my defense, the majority of my purchases are pre-loved or decants, so there is that. Totally agree re: finding travel sprays/decants. I have learned to be patient and in the end I usually find what I want. I have SO many bottles, I don’t need too much of *anything*!! I also bought a partial of RL Woman & agree with you: I like it, but am not reaching for it. I have Green Lover too and it’s gathering dust, but I don’t want to declutter it. It’s so unique and yeah, tic-tacs 👍🏻 I don’t know if I have a favorite purchase. I have been buying mostly 1) violet/iris and 2) middle eastern. I might need to sample Lipstick Rose! 💜🌹

    Happy belated birthday, Claire! Making it to 40 is great reason to celebrate with fanfare. Recently acquired Coco Noir, which, I agree is very much like Coco Mademoiselle but shy and quiet. I own 2 bottles of Lipstick Rose, which smells like 70s/80s lipstick from L’Oréal and Lancôme, the kind my mom and aunties wore. It’s nostalgic and I love that grapefruit note, too. Both my bottles smell the same to me. Definitely rose forward to my nose, with violet and Iris close by. Have a lovely weekend. ❤

    Oh, Happy Late Birthday! The 40s is a wonderful decade. Enjoy every moment! Second hand fragrances are the way to go! I have been part of a vibrant indie oil community (BPAL, NAVA, Arcana Wildcraft, Alkemia, Solstice Scents, Possets etc) for the last decade and really appreciate the oportunities for resale. This year, however, for good or bad, I discovered dupes. Ouch! Not only am I investigating dupes, but the OGs that have inspired them (just samples or perfume counters however!) ETA To answer your question, perhaps my favorite purchase this year has been Linden Blossom Musk by House of Nocturne Alchemy. I got a half bottle from my favorite decanter of indies, Ajevie. It is a very fem, floral musk featuring linden flowers.

    Interesting to see what you wanted these first six months. I agree with you on Coco Noir, not very noir but very pleasant nonetheless, one of my favorite Chanel is Eau Première, the first lemony version in the tall bottle, not the vanilla formulation in the square bottle. I had been quite restrained the first two quarters but not at the moment, I'm buying too much really but it's the month of my birthday and like you it's mainly 10 and 15ml sprays.

I think I only understood it when I'd worn it a few times. It feels very demure and quiet. Perfect for the office really! I think I also go through "good" phases of not buying much and then crazy stages where I seem to pick up a lot of stuff... My plans of reducing my collection this year aren't going too well, but I guess when you look at my actual purchases, this is only 7/8 perhaps? Either way, I'm enjoying my collection, so perhaps I shouldn't worry. Thanks for watching 🥰

    Good morning Claire. Re the sample bottles not on display in department stores, when I’ve asked if they have the latest release of something, they usually get it out of a drawer and not have it on display straight away because they often get stolen! Heard that at a few fragrance stands. Like you, I have been trying not to get 100ml bottles now. When ordering samples I’ve been getting 5mls, that way by the time I’ve finished it, I’m ready to move on, or commit to something larger. Trying not to blind buy unless it’s second hand. I have a 30mlXerjoff Quattro Pizzi on the way. Bought from a Facebook fragrance page here. No idea whether I’ll love it or hate it. Tuberose and coconut together. 🤞 😃🇦🇺

    Hello 👋 yes! I think that must also be part of the reason too! I've noticed a lot of the designer fragrance stores now have the perfumes bolted down with brackets here... I have watched people steal testers though, so I do get it! It's a shame! I did go to Harvey Nichols again on Thursday and they had the bottles out, but I got a terse, "can I help you?" as soon as I touched one 😂 I tried my first ever Xerjoff on Thursday actually! I tried Starlight ✨ I enjoyed it! I need to try more, Quattro Pizza sounds like one I'd enjoy. I'm a sucker for tropical tuberoses. I think that's pretty much my rules too, blind buys are secondhand or at least under £30, so hopefully I can resell if I don't love them. I still do blind buy, but I am trying not to do it as much because I don't think I'm good at guessing what I might enjoy. 😂 5ml samples sounds like a fab system! If you get through 5ml, you know what you think of it and whether you love it. Happy Sunday 🥰

    Well this will be an interesting one to watch. I'm probably one of them similar names. You won blooming loads. Moon Palace is a very lovely one isn't it. Yes it's very petally. The bananary feel is nice. Ah Green Lover. LL have made some amazing ones. Well lots of vanilla is a shame. Tictacs very good for bowels 😉 😂 I do like Dandy or Not very orangey on me. It is a very calm and easy one to wear. Ralph L is not a brand I've tried much from at all. Them Boucherrons have always got a lot of love. Ah this Dior I'm not sure I loved it loads. It's been a long time. Well the L to V to the MH would definitely reformulate to make everything that bit cheaper for them 😉. I do love many from the line. Ah the MoV the bottles are very nice. Testers in cupboards... Leeds ain't what it used to be 😂. They were out in Harrods up here. That was a bargainous travel size. I do alwsys like a bit of lily. Ah Pitching Woo, now that is a fragrance I don't have words for. Elise is just fantastic. There's nothing at all like it that I've ever smelt. It's very special to me. When it's empty I want the bottle 🤣. I think you definitely will smell amazing in it. Yes the mystery Humbug in there is nice and that ice-cream thing isn't remotely sickly. They are very blooming good. Yes PS do great versions. I love my Oud Wood and Black Opium from them, also their Reflection Man is fan. Raspberry V is gone but that was an amazing creation. Matt is very good and a top chap. Bubble Bath was a pleasant one, it didn't really blow me away. Yes it smells of them ones we had in our youth. Coco Noir was something I wanted to love. I wanted a Noir version of Coco, come on Chanel a dark version... OK it's Chanel 😂 that ain't gonna happen. It's very citrusy and happy isn't it sadly.

    Did I send you Green Lover Jon? I need to get you to review it if not. It's interesting and not bad by any standards it's just not me. The vanilla really isn't what I normally gravitate towards, I find it a bit cloying on me. I think la colle noire is a bit too mainstream for you. It is me really but it's pretty and classic. If it gathers dust, it will be resold. Yes, well clearly the Metro Centre is a classier joint than central Leeds 😂 I'm happy I persisted with imperial emerald, who knows how that ambroxan will go over summer though, we will see 👀 Thank you so much for Pitching Woo and for Iles Vierge, they are treasured. 🥰 It's weird with Pocket Scents, last time I was on their website they didn't have much AT ALL, but I know they discontinue and bring things back all the time so they could just be a state of change.

E.g. vintage Mugler have particular distinctive points, same with Chanel. Are there any brands in particular you are wondering about?

Currently decluttering, which is always exciting. 2:35 Thanks for the decant of this 😋 Always nice to wear a (realistic) banana-y, dewy tuberose. 4:51 I used to love tic-tacs! An evident mint obsession 11:52 I love watery florals, but the higher price tags deter me from purchasing if anything. I don’t remember ever trying LCN, perhaps I should 23:57 My N°5 L’Eau is the same. Must be the Chanel musks 😂😂 30:45 Well, you’ve lured me in now 😂😂 I’m going to have to find a sample

    Oh no. I just blind bought Lipstick Rose 100 ml. It was $140 so I couldn't pass that by. I hear it is like Misia (Chanel) which I love so hopefully I'll have better luck with it. I do love violet note. Due to arrive to me July 3. Not familiar with Sana Jardin, going to check out that video.

    I also love Misia! I think that might be my favourite from Chanel that I've tried so far! I honestly absolutely loved Lipstick Rose in store, I think if you enjoy Misia and it's like the bottles in store, you will love it... I have checked the batch code and this little travel spray is actually quite old, so I am not sure whether that could explain the differences with the bottle in store... 🤔 I will retry it when it's cooler and see how it goes. Sana Jardin are worth sniffing, mostly they are not overly complex fragrances but some are just really easy to wear and likeable. Thanks for watching and good luck with your purchase 🥰

    Some of my most recent purchases are: Armani My Way Floral & Nectar, Ocean and Acqua Di Gioia Intense.. couldn’t resist the BOGO sale so I caved! Absolutely love them all, but wasn’t too impressed with the new Intense version..a little too fruity. Also got an Olympea tester.. really like it, but typically find myself layering it with Versace Versense or Alien Goddess just to lighten it up a bit. Also went down the Middle Eastern rabbit hole and found myself mostly disappointed lol.. I think there’s a certain synthetic musk that’s used in so many that I find a bit screechy to my nose. Although I’m sort of liking Mohra Silky Rose, Ego Exotic and Tharwah..my family likes them on me at least 😂 I really want to focus more on the fragrances I have and learn how to layer them effectively enough where buying new ones would be redundant. So far I’m enjoying the challenge, especially using Donna Karan’s Cashmere Mist with summery scents, ie Mambo, Lust For Sun, Alien Goddess, etc.. it’s one of the better layering tools I’ve found (through the advice of a fellow frag friend) and the results have been so lovely. Happy 40th 🎉 it’s a great age! ❤

I have had similar issues with a low hit rate... I've heard a few people say how nice Cashmere mist is, highlight it at a hidden gem etc. layering is still a mystery to me 😂 Thanks for the birthday wishes! So far so good with 40. 🥰

    Moon Palace is on my list of things I would be interested to try, it sounds luscious. I need some help actually, I got my hands on a vintage bottle of alien, which I enjoy quite a lot, but the cap with the sprayer head had been removed and then placed back on the bottle, but it’s not sealed anymore. The perfume doesn’t spray, it just sort of dribbles out which is a waste. What is the trick for removing the part of the mechanism with the long straw so that I can transfer it into a bottle that actually works?

    I tend to get secondhand because I'm quite environmentally conscious. I buy a lot of secondhand clothing too, even jewellery. Even my engagement ring and wedding ring were secondhand. I also buy a lot of fragrance, so economically, it makes sense. E.g la colle noire, approx 25ml secondhand inc postage, £23 secondhand, £125 for 40ml new, for me, that's a no brainer. 🥰

    Hi Claire! I loved seeing the rundown of your recent purchases. LL Green Lover sounds like something I need to try. I love Chanel perfumes. I don’t own Coco Noir but I find it lovely. It’s definitely a flanker of Coco Mademoiselle not the original Coco, my all time favourite. Frederic Malle perfumes are outrageously expensive. I’ve not tried Lipstick Rose, but Insolence was a scrubber for me.🫣

    Yes, you might enjoy Green Lover, it's not bad at all, it's just not me. I can't deal with vanilla sometimes when it's warm and thick. I agree, Frederic Malle fragrances can be very expensive. I would love a travel spray of Carnal Flower though. I am going to go back and retry Lipstick Rose again, my travel spray appears to be quite old judging by the batch code. Thanks for watching 🥰
