Which perfume is the most overrated in your opinion?

We need more "negative" vids and reviews. If you are serious about perfumes, there is no way you are going to like everything! I know, scent is subjective. However it is comical when a reviewer tells that everything is worth buying. We know why they are saying that. If you want to be taken seriously, don't be a shill, say your honest opinion!

Delina and Delina Exclusif - beautiful but not for hot, humid and tropical weather Delina La Rosee - perfect not just for summer, but in a country where there’s only two seasons: rainy and summer (and it’s summer right now so it’s VERY hot and VERY humid). You could literally wear it all year long and you’d smell amazing 🥰

I am team Delina OG🌹It last all day on my skin and it's beautiful. Delina La Rosée it's nice but last on me just 3 - 4 hours

Delina La Rosee is more mass appealing but the OG Delina is so worth the hype at least with my chemistry! As popular as the scent is I never smell it on others and when people do ask me what I am wearing they never know what I am talking about lol. Don't let the internet fool you, you can still smell unique with a popular fragrance! Also justice for BR540 lol

This kind of videos is what we need, pure honesty

Josephine, I thoroughly enjoy these type of videos especially when you give alternatives, affordable or better options.

Absolutely great video. Great suggestions and content!

Loved the video, and part 2 would be nice 😊. I tried MFK BR at sephora many times and every time it smelt like medicinal on me

Totally agree re Delina, I have all three and the original is too harsh, I love the exclusif ( currently have it on) and the rosee is amazing for summer much more fresher and easier on the nose. Kids are wearing BR540 now glad mine has all gone lol. Thanks for the video. ❤

Love your energy in this video ❤️‍🔥

My favorite vanilla is from 7 virtues - vanilla woods. It’s so beautiful, deep, resinous, and lasts. My favorite winter vanilla. I think for warmer months, I love Eau Duelle edt from Diptyque and any kind of saltier light vanilla like The Vanille by Nette.

Fair, frank, and complete with friendly alternatives. Love this content. It also makes me feel better about my other purchases, while deepening my understanding of good value fragrances.

Wonderful helpful video! More like this one please!!!!

I love your outfit Josephine.👍❤ From Kayali I love Eden Juicy Apple 01, but I would love to have the others one too. I don't know erba pura, or any Delina not yet. 😅I love "wrapped in vanilla" fragrance mist from bath body works. I should get the one you recommended. Thanks. Great video.😃

Thank you Josephine for being so honest

Thank you for your honesty! 🙏👏

Nice rose jacket,looks amazing.

I have all 3 Delinas, and my fave is the original one undoubtedly ❤

I loooove your honesty!

Thank you so much for this review! I would love to get Delina La Rosee. I have a few dupes of Delina. I have Kayli Vanilla 28 , I use for layering, I will consider getting B&BW Warm Vanilla Sugar. I don't own Baccarat Rouge 540

I enjoyed this video!! I love the BDK pac se soir ! I get compliments all the time. Will have to try the delina flankers as I don’t like the original on me but on my daughter it smells amazing!

I’m shocked! I agree with you on all of them!!! This is helpful for me to know because now I know we have similar tastes so when you recommend something I know I’ll probably like it too.

I had Vanilla 28 and while i like it, I just felt it was missing something. I love Victorian Vanilla by Costal Carolina and it’s a beautiful vanilla. Great video! 😊

Hello Joséphine. I'm not team Delina, I've never been, too harsh, too agressive of a rose for me. I may not be team Parfums de marly at all I must say 😬... But I totally agree with you when you say the "la rosée" and the "exclusif" are better !

Hi. Always a fantastic job !! Classy, fun, informative. Coty / Encore Une Fois...in your opinion how does it compare to PDM / Althair ? Thanks.

I am team Delina, I personally love the tartness of the rhubarb note!

Thank you Josephine again for an amazing video 🫶🏻 Oh my Gosh I couldn’t agree with you more about Pas Ce Soir! I had a tester of it few years ago and I tried to wear it but it’s a big NO. It smells like foot odor and some cheap overly sweet body mist 🥴 I am not team Erba Pura. I think it has some similar vibes than Pas Ce Soir: cheap smelling fruity fragrance. I am team Delina. I loove the tartness of the rhubarb note. We are lucky that in Finland so few people really knows BR 540 so here you can still smell quite unique by wearing it.

Hey Josephine!❤❤ surprisingly I hardly smell BR540 anywhere😊

The fact that you listed all the perfumes I can’t stand too makes me so proud. I not only love the same perfumes as you like but we dislike the same things, and I think you have such beautiful and refined tastes. I feel validated hahaha 😘

So agree with you on Delina!

Much needed video!!! I'm so happy you covered BDK Pas Ce Soir. I've been on the fence, but you've never steered me wrong. My scent likes are similar to yours. I'm saving up for Coty 💞. I cant wait to get my nose on it. Btw, I just got Mizensir Solar Blossom last week and I'm in love. It's perfectly balanced. Thank you!!!

Thanks for your work👍

hello Josephine again super video again super realistic opinions I totally agree that not every hyped perfume worth the hype :) thanx a million for your video :) bless you

I love your articulation and how you describe fragrances. It so pleasing

Oh my gosh, I love all of these fragrances hahaha I still love that you are honest and destroy them, it's amazing to watch an honest perfume reviewer.

Love your videos always. I may not yet, get the original recommendation of perfumes but till then the inspired versions of your recommendations are the best so far for me. Apologies and Thank you❤stay blessed 🌻

Great review Josephine, NR Musc noir rose doesn’t last not exciting idk..but pure musc👌

Definitely Delina Exclusiv. I also love La Rose.

Glad to see you back sister and How r u doing I hope you are doing good and how's your health and I wish you have a blessed weekend♥️🥹✨

Thank you for your honesty! Fully agree re Erba Pura - to me, this one smells like rotten fruit paired with methylated spirits. Also, the Baccarat Rouge hype completely baffled me in the beginning; I thought something was wrong with my nose (I get 90% band-aid and 10% glue) until I learned just how much scent perceptions can vary from one person to the next. ☺ Delina La Rosée is indeed a big love for me, whereas I can't stand the other two. And the final jury is still out on Pas Ce Soir; I do own a bottle but rarely reach for it because I, too, find the scent somewhat challenging ... And since I'm planning on whittling down my somewhat excessive collection to "no fillers, just k*llers", I guess I'll be saying goodbye sometime soon. Please keep up the great content (btw, I'd be very curious to hear about your views on the likes of Henry Jacques someday). 😊

I have Delina and I enjoy it, I might buy the exclusif. I also have BR 540 extrait de parfum and I’m in love, never tried the eau de parfum though. You’re right about Móntale fragrances I have Roses musk and has a weird smell 🤷‍♀️

Love these de-influencing videos to break through the hype...definitely keep these coming! I had a bottle of Delina Exclusif, and I like it better than Delina, but the Exclusif is just a little too strong and cloying for me -- which is saying a lot because I like Mugler's Angel! I wish PDM would come out with an Exclusif EDT that's lighter but still has the same notes. I've tried La Rosee and it's pretty, but my nose picks up something that smells like watermelon, so I still prefer Exclusif out of all of them.

I have Delina Exclif and La Rosee but I still want to buy Delina. It has something I can’t stop thinking about it. I have samples and every time I spray it I love it and my husband as well. Right now they have a special edition bottle with hand painted roses for Mother’s Day and I feel like I have to get it ☺️

I can't smell BR 54. Like 4 spray later, still nothing! 😂. I've tried multiple times. I have a travel size of kayali vanilla 28, its a bit of a meh. It smells much cheaper than it sells for to be honest! It's fall winter here in Australia, so i think I'll finally get lune Feline, as we don't have baby cat. I know these 2 are in a different category to vanilla 28, but i like vanilla perfumes with something. For an easy one, i love Burberry goddess, its my dumb reach! Great vidoe as always ❤😊

This is why I love your channel! I feel like a lot of fragrance channels just say they LOVE everything and I’m like how can that be lol. We love your authenticity and expertise !

That pink blazer is amazing

I just received the parfums the Marly discovery set and I can’t agree with you more, OG Delina is a bit sour and screechy while the Ex is just so elegant with that vanilla touch, that makes it creamier. However, I feel some synthetic note at the begging, but it dissipates after an hour or less …I am team Delina Ex.❤ Great video ✨

I cant tell you how many times delina was in my cart but I never pulled the trigger because there are so many dupes that are super good!

La Rosee every time - was sent a sample of Athalia when I bought it and unfortunately it smells like evil to me 😂. Great video ❤

I love this video thank you so much, but I love Erba Pura❤

I don't like any Kayali personally. Love Delina la Rose'e but I'm partial to the OG Delina. IMO Lust in Paradise by Ex Nihilo is better than Delina LaRose'e being in the same ballpark. BR540 is one of the most unique frags I've ever gotten my nose on...and no I don't get dentist's office as I am a dentist and I wished my office smelled like that LOL. Lune Feline is one of the best vanillas out there but you may be right about EUF by Coty as I haven't smelt it. Nice vid Josephine.

I prefer layering OG and Exclisif (but just in autumn and winter, for summer just OG... I need to test La Rose now!)

I'm Team Delina❤Appreciate the honest reviews and alternatives. Very helpful! Thank you!

Really appreciate your perspective given your experience and background in the perfume industry. Smell is subjective, no doubt, but we are all in some way or other vulnerable to hype and FOMO. I have a few overhyped perfumes I convinced myself was amazing based on hype, only to realize why I wasn’t reaching for them, that I actually didn’t enjoy them at all.

I have all 3 Delina fragrances and love each but I will always prefer the original. I have gone through 2 bottles and dont ever seem to tire of it. Its also one of my most complimented fragrances ever.

First, thank you! ‎‏I watched with a big smile and pleasure. ‎‏ I really enjoyed your honest and authentic review. Second, you are so right! ‎‏Finally a blessed truth. When I visited the perfume shop I reacted exactly like you and then my smile grew into a big laugh when I watched you😍

I love the original Delina followed by the exclusive. I may declutter La Rosee.

Thank you for this video!! Guidance Amouage smelled foul on me and Baccarat Rouge smelled synthetic to me.

Thank you!!! I smelled Vanilla 28 & thought the same exact thing, smells like baking. I don't get the hype.

Whenever you pop up, I hit the like button first. 😊 We love you, Josephine!! I must take exception to something that you said. “Undistinct” instead of indistinct. Pardon my sensitivity. 😅

totally agree on the intense cafe by montale - so synthetic to me as well!!

This was an amazing video. We need more honest reviews like this. I appreciate the this not that.

Ahhh I want to test the Coty fragrance so badly before blind buying! It looks amazing though.

This was an awesome video - Almost a "Buy This Not That", which I appreciate...xoxo

Great video!!! I love Red Redemption,it makes me feel so good.My scent signature is Musk Therapy ❤.I hate Erba pura 😅.Thanks for your suggestions 🤗🤗P.S.I'm so curious now about Maison Tahitè😊

Would you kindly make the same review for fresh citric ones?

I adore Pas Ce Soir….i get a crazy amount of compliments from family and friends when i wear it. Just 👌.

I am now super aware how chemistry makes a HUGE difference in fragrance and how we perceive them; case in point, my daughter LOVES Petite Cherie (Goutal) and it smells LOVELY on her.. fresh, crisp and perfectly “Springtime”.. while it smells like bitter grass on me with zero evolution. Also, Kayali Vanilla 28 and Deja Vu smell old and dusty on me..and the Yum Pistachio saaaame.. again on my daughter I’m always shocked because they all smell delightful! I have a hard time with the Baccarat DNA.. smells like dental office or latex gloves to me.. same with Greenwich Village.

I'm looking for a long lasting pineapple tropical scent for summer that is affordable. I love the smell of leisure in Paradise. But it is so expensive and it doesn't last very long. Love your videos.

Delina exclusif is so incense for me that reminds me of church during Easter. The original burns my nostrils. La rose is fabulous ❤

The Kayali's are best worn layered. The Utopia and Vanilla 28 are a great combo.

Absolutely agree on Erba Pura! For that price, you're essentially buying a bottle of artificial lollies from the corner store, not even decant-worthy, let alone full bottle. Also BR540 smells like hospital antiseptic to me 😖

I wish I’d known the disdain for BR540 before I got another bottle, but I do still think it’s a lovely scent. I don’t ever smell it around me even in OC California. I actually don’t notice a lot of women wearing much perfume for some reason. BUT, I work from home so exposure is limited to school pickup and the baseball fields. 😂

I'm so glad you called out Montale for their synthetic smelling fragrances. People rave about them all the time. However, I tested so many Montales and every time I feel let down. When I go out in public I regularly smell Intense Cafe on people, and it's so overwhelming and headache-inducing. I hope they find your video and pick a good alternative 😂❤

Can you do a review on the Hermes twilly line. Pleaseeeeee. I’d love your opinion. More specifically twilly tutti and twilly eau provre

I love delina exclusif and it will be my wedding scent this summer ❤ I like OG Delina and I often layer it with exclusif but it is not as special as the exclusif at least for me. If I want something fresh I would go for Valaya.

I have a very old bottle of intense cafe which is about 7-8 yrs ago and I’ve been holding on So I will try you coffee suggestion

I love that Bath and Body works 😍...you need to try Marks and Spencers Rosewater Eau de Toilette. It's as beautiful and fresh as a rose can be. I adore it as it's affordable, cruelty free and doesn't trigger my allergies.

I adore Pas Ce Soir extrait! It smells amazing on my skin🎉🎉… almost one of my all time favorite smells😂 so funny how this works. My skin loves it and my nose loves it and I get compliments almost every time I wear it.

Hi! I love your channel! I appreciate you so much! Have you talked about LoveShack Fancy? In particular I'm curious about the one in the blue floral bottle. If you have will you link that video? If not yet, will you please? I cannot get it off my mind. I've seen mixed reviews. I live in a rural area and would need to drive several hours to smell it myself or just have to blind buy it, and I'm afraid! But I trust your trained nose. I've loved everything you've recommended. Our tastes must be similar. Thank you so much for all you do for us! ❤

I see those Floraiku bottles in the back!!! Any way we can get a Floraiku guide or brand overview? Beautiful choices in this video!!!

I never understood the hype around "intense cafe". As you said, it smells extremely synthetic, almost like an abstract of a very sweet and artificial juice

I agree with the Delina comment! I think it’s nice but the La Rosee is my favorite, and I prefer Very Good Girl over original Delina.

Team Delina OG because it works so well in all seasons and occasions! But yes, I do have to be in the mood for it because she is STRONG and has given me a headache a couple of times. A couple of sprays work so well in the heat :) maybe I will try La rosee when I’m done!

i think the first range of kayali fragrances arent supposed to be as complex since they wanted to emphasize that the collection is meant to be layered. so imo the first collection is the "base". that being said. vanilla royale is the one that worked for me. interesting and unique video as always!

❤❤❤❤❤ love this!!!

I tried Delina a few days ago. It immediately reminded me of Mon Paris Intensément. I'm just not into that type of perfume now...but 18 year old me would have loved this. 😂 The flankers were okay but not for me either. I actually preferred the bigger more 'masculine' scents of Parfums de Marly .

Would love to see shower gel or body lotion recommendations that smell divine! 🤍

Delina Ex is my most love and i didnt find out any designer brand can copy or make a dupes of this fragrance yet. Delina edp. is not for me too. And MFK540, I prefered the extrait version. ❤

Team Delina Exclusive for sure 🙌and I too can not bare the BDK Pas Ce Soir either 🙈

I’m team Herba Fresca as I enjoy a classic. I would love a review of some retro/classic perfumes. I’m finding that for every big name release (the Acne Studios FM collaboration is very over hyped and headache inducing) I’m purchasing a classic or a French/Italian small house. Le Jardin Retrouve and Orjza L. Legrand give beautiful natural vibes and artistry without the hype.

I agree with your thoughts on Delina. I adore Delina Exclusif, and so does my hubby! I dislike the og Delina on me, and the Exclusif works like a dream. I also like the Cassili scent from Parfums De Marly

It’s quite strange that I felt the same way in every perfume you have explained. Kayali vanilla, montale dna, pas sec sour, baccarat, xerjoff, delina I do agree with all and looking forwards to try out the recommendation you gave

I can’t stand Pas Ce Soir or Erba Pura! I never hear anything negative about Pas Ce Soir so I thought it must be me. I am team Delina for sure! Great video Josephine!❤

Thanks for the video!😊 Which vanilla do you recommend from Maison Tahite' for the sweet vanilla lovers?

Erba Pura is one of my top 5. I simply love it !!!

Would love your thoughts on BDK!

This is a bit random, but when you were talking about the perfume that smells like decaying fruit, I couldn’t help but think of Pulp by Byredo 😁 Now, the thing is…I absolutely love it! I definitely do see why it’s polarising, but me it’s the most unique fruity perfume I’ve ever smelt. I haven’t smelt the perfume you were talking about, but perhaps Pulp would be an alternative? Anyway, great suggestions as always, Josephine xo

Delina exclusif smells the effortlessly more sophisricated with depth. The original is beautiful but its basic for collector. Better to get something similar (very good girl)
