Yay!!!!! I love these videos! You’re so talented in describing fragrances and I have most of the frags in todays list. Thank you for doing this video!❤️❤️❤️
Omg Althair yassss!! I love it so much!! I normally don’t like orange blossom so I was totally surprised by how much I love this!
Mont Blanc introduced me to my most favorite of all time - lactonic/gourmand. Not too long after, I purchased Blanch Bete - back when no one heard of it. I was instantly in love! In fact, it’s maybe my most favorite, for life fragrance. First fragrance I’ve ever purchased a back up bottle for. Next came Milk. Oh gosh, I absolutely love lactonic fragrances!!
I love these videos!! And wow I love this make up look, so beautiful! I could not even tell it was patchy until you pointed it out, a true professional right there! Love your work!! ❤
I love that Marlena replies in a personal way, each response to a comment is specific and I appreciate so much that touch.

Marlena I’m so happy you mentioned L’Interdit Intense - it is a favourite of mine & the third winter I’ve been wearing this stunning perfume!!

Marlena, beautiful video! You mentioned Signature was not known? It went viral like a year ago. All KZread was full of reviews about that perfume. Maybe you said that because no one has talked about it recently 😊
Amouge Guidance was a good 2023 pick up for me also. PDM Valaya was a good one too!
I am sure you know of these but my favorite winter fragrance right now is Angels Share! So cozy and yummy but high end yummy! I adore the first Prada Paradoxne. My husband lovesssssss that scent! He acts like his eyes roll in his head and feigns fainting " because its a man killer one" ( we are goofballs!) I do the same with him with the Mont Blanc Blue. THat is a magic potion! I did not know they made ladies fragrances now I will have to check your suggestion out!

Cant wait to try the PDM!!! And CC is on my wishlist...but i will be waiting for awhile 😂😆
I purchased Blonde Amber and Althair. Both are 100% gorgeous. I also purchased Amberwood by Clive Christian which is a good one too. My next CC buy will be Jump up n kiss me Hedonist not the femme Ecstatic but the “male” Hedonist it’s just so good!!!
I'm excited to see one of my lifers made ur list, mont blanc's signature ❤ ... d obsession is real!!!
Blonde amber is also my number 1. It’s absolutely incredible. 😊❤
I absolutely love blonde amber, can't wait to get me a bottle. Super pricy though 😅❤😊 You've made me so curious about the house of bo, sounds like my kinda scent..

Hi Marlene. Have you tried, and if so, tried any middle eastern fragrances? I am obsessed.
I like the l'interdit dark red one. Omg 😮❤❤
I love Magnolia in a fragrance. If you want to try some more Magnolia based fragrances, some great ones would be Magnolia Bliss by Juliette Has a Gun (more of a skin scent, but so good), Prodigieux Floral Parfum by the French brand Nuxe, Mojave Ghost by Byredo, and Hermés Un Jardin Sur La Lagune.
I absolutely love Scentbird. I highly recommend it. 💜💜
Ma'am you're my number one when it comes to perfumes you have the bessttt taste in smells . That blonde amber hurt my wallet but it made my heart soar 😂 it felt like me in a bottle but I'm with you on those generous spray the audacity of some of these prices.

Is there a list from the video anywhere or do I need to re-watch and write down all the fragrances?
Help please.. Paco Rabanne has a mens fragrance Invictus. .is there a feminine version to this?
This will age me, but I really love my 80’s and 90’s scents, because I was in my teens and 20’s and perfumes are all about memories and events. My signature scent is Quelce Fleur, original Paris 80’s version from YSL, Chanel no 19. Also so sad to see La Prairie discontinue their signature perfume La Prairie eau de parfum. I can’t get myself to like anything at Sephora or Ulta except YSL Libre.

A lighter more everyday version might be Floral Street Wild Vanilla Orchid- they both have orchid but Floral Street one is less dense and lighter. If you go to scent bird, if you search for black orchid, at the bottom it shows other fragrances people liked that bought black orchid :)

L'INTERDET hot take: Ever since I first smelled this one, I can only envision sour candy. Maybe because my other is rather addicted to the stuff, but I don't smell anything other than sour apple candy and for that, it's not a favorite. Someone tell me if the intense version is much different?
I love l’interdit - Givenchy made this specifically for Audrey Hepburn…❤❤

Their sales are excellent and they have travel sizes. The original Minnie( not the new 100) is my all time favorite fragrance! I have never tried anything like it and I will get the full bottle when it’s on sale and in stock! They have a nice variety and sample sets for different scent profiles. If anyone knows a dupe for Minnie please share- I need it!
