Yes, it takes ages 🤦‍♀️ I am learning not to blind buy bigger bottles. That black XS bottle was 80ml and full when I got it secondhand. That took some finishing, but it faded quickly so I just reapplied a lot when I wore it cos I couldn't smell it and the opening, with the cranberry, was the best bit! 😂

I am loving those mini bottles! You’re a rockstar Claire! I am so impressed that you finished all those bottles. It’s so enjoyable and satisfying! ❤😍

Haha, I love the minis in a way because there's enough to try there, but also they are annoying because they are dabbers. I often buy secondhand so I guess that's why I finish so many. I am not drinking it 😂

This is so satisfying to watch! 🤩I barely ever finish one because of the size of my massive collection. I have to rotate a lot, so that I use all of them. 😊

Yes me too, I generally wear something different each day but several of these had only 10ml or so left so I just stopped rotating to finish these off. It felt quite satisfying to move a few bottles out, some of these had been hanging around for a couple of years!

Oh my goodness, how did I miss this??? 😱 What an impressive and inspiring empties stash!! I have one of those Flowerbomb minis too, and am likewise SO impressed by it’s potency. And of course, like you, I chase those vintage Angels! I just picked up one of the old formulation dusting powders and adore it. ❤️❤️❤️

Haha! Yes, this was way overdue, I had so many empties! Yes, I am always searching for those vintage Thierry Mugler perfumes, I have a vintage Alien now which I love! Vintage Alien seems to go for a lot of money here though unfortunately... Thanks for watching!

This is the first of your videos I have seen. There aren't too many fragrance empties videos out there. I really enjoyed the reviews you gave each of the fragrances. I look forward to checking out more of your videos. Romance was my signature scent soon after it came out. I was just out of university and it felt youthful enough to appeal to me and a maturity I wanted but still didn't feel. At 25 I really felt like I was impersonating an adult. When I wore Romance, I felt like an adult, even if I didn't really feel like one. I have a little 30ml bottle of the current formulation and it's a shadow of it's former self, but I keep it around for nostalgia.

Boss Orange that smells like white flowers, and it has apple and not orange LOL btw, I didn´t know that Romance was released in the 90s... i was shocked when I researched it ! I have a shelf in my perfume cabinet for the 'vintages', and I bet they are all mad because I keep Romance with the 'bright florals' shelf 🤣 btw, I still think the 90´s was like 10 years ago. i can´t believe it´s been like 3 decades 😵‍💫

Apple is a bit of an "okay???!!!" moment.

From the list I Iove Angel and Illicit Flower. I have Burberry London and I ADORE it , it smells like a dense, syrupy tangerine marmalade with a hint of jasmin, creamy sandalwood, and tiaré flowers.

I keep trying Burberry Body because there are aspects of it that I find really interesting but it is not what I was expecting at all, people described it as musky, no one mentions the sour apple green fruity wormwood at the beginning that lessens but stays! You know actually a few of these were only minis and I buy a lot of secondhand, so very few of these were full when I got them. The ones I finish are generally the ones that I use for work I think so perhaps the less exciting ones 😂 I love watching fragrance empties too!

Well it depends on the fragrance and how long it lasts. Stuff like toy2 bubblegum with its addictive top note might be 15. I also switch fragrance if it's faded by the time I get home and I wear fragrance to bed too. But also most of the ones i emptied in 2022 were minis, travel sprays or smaller bottles or partials that I bought secondhand (it's much cheaper to try lots of fragrance that way, e.g. 25-30ml toy2 bubblegum in 100ml bottle was £7 Vs £35) or stuff I'd had a long time and already used a lot of. E.g. when I filmed my collection video in August 2022 I noticed lots of bottles with not much left and did a kind of project pan with them cos I needed space and I didn't want the ones with not much left to go off through oxidation. 😊

Love the video Claire! Very impressive empties. I would love to know your tips on finishing fragrances! Do you focus on one at a time or pick a few to work on? Or you do you just normally go through them without trying? Any tips would be appreciated or a video about it would amazing!

Bravo 👏👏👏👏 It took me many years to finish a bottle 😅 I want to perches Ralph Lauren because of that aokmoss. Sad that the new version haven't it😢 I have the same miniature of flower bomb. Unfortunately it disappears for less than 15 min. It doesn't last at all! You and that vintage angel 🎼🎶🎵🎶🎵❤😘

Well the "oakmoss" is there but it definitely smells different. It's recognisable for sure, but not the same. I was surprised that flowerbomb was lasting for me too, I swear the sprays that I've tried don't last at all, so I've no idea how I could smell it so long 🤷‍♀️ Gosh, yes, I love Angel and I never thought I would 😂 perfume is really surprising sometimes with what you love and what you don't. Thank you so much for watching Souad! I hope you have a lovely week! 🥰

Ahh, you managed to empty 14 perfumes?! I think the last time I emptied a bottle - and I am not talking about samples or travel sprays - is about 7 years ago. But then again, I am a notorious under sprayer, so I go for three to four sprays a day which probably doesn't really help when it comes to finishing bottles. And even when it comes to samples I tend to hang on to that last little drop so as not to finish it. Well, thankfully you also talked about some miniatures, so there is still hope for me! I wonder how I'd feel about wearing Angel Man again as it was a fragrance I used to wear whenever I went to a club (and it was also the times when our fragrances still had to cut through the smoke of cigarettes). I have heard that it is not the beast mode fragrance it used to be, but even if it's half as strong as I remember it, it will fill a room. 😂 Thanks so much for proving that it can be done! I shall try to finish at least a bottle this year 😊.

Haha Andreas! I bet you smelt amazing in Angel Man! I don't think I've smelt it, I think I've only smelt flankers... I know people were really upset about the reformulations... Oh the joy when the smoking ban came in 😊 I could go out and not reek of smoke afterwards! It seems totally alien to think of people smoking on planes and trains now! You know what? I did have quite a few minis here... 3??? And i buy a lot of secondhand fragrances, so the bottles are rarely completely full and I've had a few of these perfumes for over 2 years now. I think I also do that fragrance hoarding thing, as soon as I get to 10ml, there is an active decision where I either hoard or use it up. Ones I'm currently hoarding are Narciso Poudrée, Glossier You, Womanity, la nuit Tresor musc diamant and Alien Eau extraordinaire... It's understandable because things like Womanity have been reformulated, but it's also a bit silly to keep something that could just end up going off! I totally understand the reference thing though... I think I mainly finish the safer, more everyday ones that I wear mainly for work. Good luck with finishing one this year and thanks for watching ❤️

In Burberry Touch I also feel this pepper the first minute, to me it's actually more like aceton and then It didn't even reach the drydown, just faded away. But I tried it last year for the first time

BOSS Orange was just one of the collections of the brand, more 'casual style' line of clothes. I believe right now it's just BOSS. So the name of the perfume had nothing to do with oranges 😉 I also used to own a bottle of Boss Orange years ago and enjoyed it but wouldn't repurchase it either.

In Greece Angel is a very popular fragrance. I haven't smelt the modern version but the vintage one is what every girl in Greece wore as a night out fragrance. It is a bit too sweet for me as is the case with hypnose by Lancome and la vie est Belle. That being said I have worn all three and enjoyed them but I am not sure whether I would repurchase.

Yes, I still have a mini of LVEB but that one is just so so sweet! Hypnose to me is a tropical floral cake 😂 I know that's weird, but it's got a strange and very interesting texture to it, maybe it's the vetiver coming through a bit? I don't think I would want a full bottle but it is unique to me. I didn't ever wear Angel until 2020 and ever since I have been searching for vintage bottles. I think Aura started the interest in Mugler for me, before then I wasn't really aware of it, that sounds so odd now, but that's the truth! Thanks for watching 😘

I cringed at the Marc Jacobs - Daisy remark 1- Anyone can talk about anything on KZread no one is controlling anyone’s perfume preferences 2- Makeup your mind is it too popular and everyone is talking about it? Or is it too controlled no one could talk about it? 3- Perfumes don’t make you “cool” or “uncool” and frankly we should just wear perfume we like I don’t understand were this attitude/hostility and “not like other girls” behaviour came in this video, so unprovoked. It’s just a meh, boring scent but no one is policing anyone about it, especially on KZread.

1. How often do you see perfume channels talk about Daisy positively? From the ones I'm subscribed to, I'd say I've not seen anyone else say they like Daisy ever and I'm subbed to at least 100, if not more, I didn't count. I like it. 2. It is a popular fragrance in general but it's an old one and not popular on yt. 3. I agree that people can wear what they want, but there is a perception of coolness with perfume choice and your choice might reflect other aspects of your personality. Think what would you think/assume of someone who chose e.g. ELDO you or someone like you, compared with what you would think/assume of someone choosing MJ Daisy? I wasn't hostile, this a perception, this is just meant to be fun. I like Daisy and I don't mind saying that I like it. Thanks for watching! 🥰
