    Grise is the best blind buy fragrance I’ve ever bought.❤️❤️❤️. I LOVE it and I am getting some back up bottles asap. Thanks for the honest opinions. I’m going to try the Exclusif Tabac for sure. We have similar taste in fragrance. Thank you and keep safe❤️🙏🏼!

    Hello Joanna. I have bought samples from Dinajpur from Coelia because to discover it. Very nice from who like oriental and warm perfumes but too heavy for me even in automn and winter. But I will test again in winter. And also Musamam White intense from Lattafa. Yes it is fine and nice and original. I can wear it also when the weather turns cold. Thanks you for those discovers. I used to be afraid about Moyen-Orientals parfumés because they are often too strong too oriental for me. I have just musk mood from Lattafa and mohra silk... from Lattafa I think. With a nice combo between rose praline litchee... I prefer it at the end so pretty on the skin and sophisticated with a certain softness I am fan! I have samples from khamrah and the same Qawha I like the 2second one. Shagouf oud also but too much oriental heavy I don't like... 😮Thanks you for the discover of Carner Barcelona Revolucion. It's my signature's perfume❤😊🎉I found a good deal about 40dollars(50 €) in Vinted.!!!❤

    Blind buying is why my collection is so large. 😬A recent blind buy "hit" I had is from Paris Corner. It is from their Autobiography collection and it's called, Oh Boy! 🙄First thing I noticed is that there appears to be 2 versions of this perfume...I picked the one that is 65 ml and in a green/white/clear square bottle with the BLACK top, not the top that looks like a crown.(it's listed in anabis perfumes) It attracted me because of passionfruit! And boy does it have that.On me it lasts throughout the entire fragrance. Not juvenile. It is powdery. There is woodiness, too...I got a compliment on it the first day I wore it. So that confirmed my successful purchase. And the cycle continues...😂

    Hi dear Joanna, thank you for another wonderful video. I bought Riffs Luxury Rouge which is inspired by Armani Prive Rouge Malachite and I like it a lot, it is not 100% love yet, but I feel it will get better with maceration, I had heard some people loved this at first spray but there is one green note I have to get used to. With love from Tasmania, Tia ❤

    Yeah, for me blind buying is usually a fail, and it's even more risky with Arabic perfumes. Having said that, I quite like Grise and Tenderina by Maison Alhambra, so I think this company has quite good dupes. 😊

    I got the Vert a couple of months ago, the gardenia sticks out like a sore thumb to me, probably because it's one of my least favourite note. Gris Dior wears quite close anyway. My friend wears it and it's only noticeable up close or if there's a breeze so I would be surprised if a dupe would be very loud.

    Grise is loud on me because I am an oversprayer so I usually never have issues with most fragrances. And it lasts all day, especially on my clothes. Like you, the Vert didn’t work for me. I sold it almost immediately. I wasn’t sure why, but I realize it’s also the gardenia, a note I don’t love too.

    Hello Joanna 🌹We are all familiar with the disappointment of blind buying. I usually use perfumes as room sprayers if I'm not crazy about them. I would like to try Exclusif Tabac because I love the tobacco note but it's almost 50 euros when it's available in Greece and I'm not giving that money for a dupe. Could you do a tobacco theme video female/unisex? Thanks 😊
