It was cute and simple too! Like it represented the album and was good quality according to the reviewers. Portals is just Melanie’s head in a gold cauldron which feels a little bit too much!

I get that she needs the money, but putting a price of 250-300 bucks for a plastic statue that looks like it was 3d printed with 4 tiny perfume bottles doesn’t seem worth it to me. Plus, the way the Melanie fans are desperately defending her, saying you’re paying more for the statue, so it’s reasonable.

Just gonna say this as a MASSIVE crybaby, as much as I love the idea I just can’t trust it. I have the original perfume from the first tour and I still have some perfume. The formula just isn’t strong so it doesn’t last long. I double checked recently with my roommate and he said he couldn’t tell I had perfume on unless his nose was against me. So at those prices it’s just simply not worth it even if I felt I NEEDED that art piece. Edit: problem isn’t that it is subtle but that it dissipates very quickly compared to most perfumes in my experiences. Almost non existent, might just be my batch though. That said at 40$ I am not mad, I would be at those prices though

Just don't take it off. You don't know how difficult it must be to wear different clothes, hairstyles, masks, makeup, almost suddenly. Melanie is a normal person, people have to stop comparing her to great famous artists, Especially those artists who only know how to shake their butts and talk about sex, never compare her to anything about them, because Melanie wants to deliver art.

300$ (minimum) for not even 60ml of a celebrity perfume?! That´s insane!! You could get 200 ml of Chanel No.5, one of the most famous perfumes ever for that price!! (or Dior, or probably any other luxury brand). And with a way ´prettier´ and higher quality bottle!

Ticket prices depend on the venue, venues get bigger as your fan base grows. Melanie doesn’t control that smh

I sadly have a fairly unpopular opinion... Melanie sold out. Its apparent. Her entire vibe is different and honestly feels kinda fake and forced. Like, girly took shrooms once and now thinks she is the ultimate miss thang. I liked it all at first, but as the promotion went on for portals it all just felt like a big cash grab.

idk why I didn't even think of this yet, but yeah, imagine buying something AT THAT PRICE (not even including shipping) and then turns out u don't like the scent.. damn 🫥 (I don't listen to her much these days so didn't know bout the perfume anyways till now but ye that would b insane)

In my opinion, the merch items along with the tour itself is a bit disappointing.. there has been SO many problems with not only the portals merch but also the whole tour in general. There was the shirt that they had changed on the website after it was sold out, people not getting the merch promised with their VIP portals tour tickets, the vinals that came bent, or with a completely different album on it, the whole show apparently being less than an hour, the ai meet and greet mentioned in the video and how expensive all the merch is in general. For example the 5 piece sticker pack was 20 dollars (USD im pretty sure) and compared to the crybaby and k-12 merch you could get a shirt for the same price (~$20 USD). Now if you want an offical shirt off the website it is $50 USD (sometimes $40 or $35 depending on what desgin you get) and of course it costs much more in most counties. I understand that it costs much more to make merch now than it was back then but the quality of it is so sad. With the crybaby and k-12 merch you werent buying it just because it was melanie martinez but also because it felt like it was good quality too. With the portals merch youre not paying for any of the quality, only her name. I love the album so much but the merch and tour has been a big bummer tbh :(

If they wanted to make the head so badly, making the skull of that head would look so much better. They would even make it look more functional since a skull has much more "detattachable" parts to make it work like a container, and also, would have way stronger fantasy vibe to it instead of a wonky multi eyed Mrs Pink Potatohead toy thingy

I remember the crybaby perfume coming out back when I used to listen to her. this is next level insane but unfortunately since I heard about her whole nft thing and the meet and greet, I'm not surprised she's done this as well.

I cannot stand Melanie Martinez. I saw a show in person many years ago before she was really that big I guess. But she REPEATEDLY said throughout the concert how she never plays at venues that small and how lucky we were to get such a small intimate show. It wasn't even sold out guys... She sucked live as well 😬 lost all respect that day. It had to have been between like 2014 - 2015. Definitely one of her first tours if not the first.

7:06 who's gonna tell them those nails are meant to be trimmed 😜

I’m not trying to start a war, but Melanie is trying to make a movie, music videos, merch, and performances. She’s trying to make money for her movie, music videos, costumes and masks for performances and more. There isn’t any need to insult her, it’s optional to buy it, you don’t NEED to buy it. You’re just supporting her for future creations she were to make.
