No! We buy it because we hate it and don’t want to leave it to other people😜

Francesca Bianchi scents are quite challenging and certainly not safe blind buys. I don’t understand why Chanel 5 gets a bad rap. I love it. 😂😂

People not liking Erba Pura is wild to me, it’s soo good. But I’m a sucker for sweet fragrances. I absolutely hated fenty and was so disappointed, I literally threw away the sample I hated it so bad.

😱 Red Door? WTF?! I love her! She's a badass. Honey, plum, carnation, rose, the old-school EdT with the rounded plastic cap is SO GOOD!

Love Chanel N5! That was Marilyn Monroe’s signature scent! It’s very retro and l definitely have to be in the mood to wear it though

I think i would’ve appreciated 540 if people didn’t set the expectation so high and i feel a lot of people have it just because it’s popular and not because they actually love it

You know, I'm 60, so once you get past menopause your scent profile changes. I consider myself Gen X so that being said, my list would shock you. 1. Delin 2. Alien 3. Cherry Punk 4.Velvet Tonka 5. Rouge Smoking 6. Fenty 7. Chanel 5 In the 90's Angel came out and I still love it. Opium in the 70's was one of the first mass market push.

The old formulation of Alien was my signature fragrance for 15 years. I never bought another fragrance until they changed the formula. Now, ive been on a niche perfume binge for the past few years and STILL nothing gives me the same feeling the old Alien did! ❤ I do quite enjoy all of my fragrances but there was also something special about having that one signature.

I used to feel the same way about NO 5 but then one day I randomly came across a tester of No 5 L’eau and it knocked my socks off. Chanel kept the classy elegance of No 5 but tweaked it just enough for the younger crowd to be able to wear it. It’s also the only citrus forward fragrance I love.

My worst lately is La Vie Et Belle, and all the flankers. Just overpowering. I'm one of those people who cannot smell BR 540 or any of the dupes. I wish I knew what all the hype is about. (I just get a musty walnut kind of smell). I'm an Erba girl, and now want to try Guidance. Thanks 🌺

Angel is potent and smells good on most people. With Angel you have to spray it in the air and run into or else it's too heavy-duty. Angel Innocence is bomb less potent

Hiiiii Sharida! 💖 I'm a little scared to see what made the list 🙈

When you said you were smelling like Esther wearing No. 5 I literally laughed out loud! I am 45, and wore it in my late teens and early twenties as well. I always got compliments, though - even from little kids at the preschool I worked at. I stand by my choices. 🤣🤣🤣 The worst thing I ever smelled was Calvin Klein Escape. I actually threw up. Black Orchid is second - I was closer to a sink I could scrub it off in that time, THANK GOD! Red Door was a slightly powdery, honeyed tuberose situation. It was my grandma’s signature, but also worn by my sister in law (who was about 15 years older than me), and one of my besties (my age) so it appealed to a variety of folks back in the day. I liked it, but never owned it. Haven’t tried the reformulated version, but it must be different because I can’t imagine the OG getting so much hate. It did come out after Dior Poison so it was pretty palatable at the time. Anyway, thanks for the video and for the laugh! Have a good week!

I actually like Sex and the Sea but it definitely was NOT a safe blind buy for ANYONE. It is certainly an acquired taste, and even though I liked it, I wouldn't have wanted to wear it more than a couple hours. Not sure if it was the dry down or if the scent was just linear and it was too persistent. But Yeah, I like the uniqueness of it but it's the only one I've tried and it was like a 2-3ml decant anyway.

I haven't smelled the original and the notes are NOTHING alike but I love the Good Fortune Elixir Intense. It's addictive to me, and nothing like what I normally wear. But it's got incense, jasmine, and sandalwood in it which is probably why I love it. I love big, vintage, musky florals and woody, spicy, leathery fragrances.

Erba pura is like rotten fruits . I was so glad I didn’t blind buy it . Guidance starts off smelling so good and then it changes into a big mess . I hate it so much . Rosendo Mateu smells like straight up rubber tire and vanilla . I think people who say the tire smell goes away have just gotten used to it but everyone else can still smell it .

I don't really like Chanel No 5 edp. It's an 80's child and for me the aldehydes don't go away at all. But Chanel No 5 EDT and the pure parfum ❤ They are absolutely timeless and ageless even though they are a lot "older" than the edp version from 1986.

I actually really like Guidance too. It's so interesting and complex. It reminded me of Santal Royale by Guerlain--just a much more feminine, leather-free version of it. Take out the oud and leather and add the apricot and hazelnut and they have a strong similarity, probably the musk and sandalwood. It's sweet, it's nutty, musky, and woody. I'm here for it! Angel by Mugler-here's my tip. Get the body cream. The perfume is too heavy, especially with the patchouli, but the body cream, that's where it's at. It's lighter on the patchouli and more gourmand and Angel is so strong that the body cream will last you forever. A little goes a long way! The one thing you can say about Mugler fragrances is that you get your money's worth because most of them are beasts that project! Fenty perfume...the worst. I don't get it. It's just bad to my noes. I wouldn't dare put it on me! And I absolutely hate RED DOOR!!!

I am an Angel lover. Have been wearing it for a very long time. But my daughter thinks it’s the worst fragrance I own. 😂

Too funny 😂definitely agree with Angel I hated it in the 90’s and White Diamonds…. Yuk

Have you tried Profumum Roma’s Vanitas? It’s a vanilla with myrrh and to me it’s almost a fresh vanilla easy to wear in summer.

I have not tried that one yet. Will it also work for fall you think??

@@SharidaM I do! I actually got it to layer with Naxos-as a way to lighten it up a bit. I actually layer it with a lot of their others which are generally linear, but that means I get a lot of neat combos! Xo

I love Alien & Angel but I can't not come near my sister in-law it's a Hate for her. I tried Guidance I didn't care for it but later it smelled amazing on the dry down. Good fortune is a hate for me Triggered me to having a headache.
