Actually having said that I would not buy a bottle in this video, I ended up buying a bottle 🤣 I agree with you, it's a "lovely" fragrance and I can see why you get so many compliments! Thanks for watching ❤️

Hi Jennifer, thank you! I think I need to try the EDT. Lovely really surprised me! I can see why it is people's signature. It is a really versatile and distinctive perfume and actually really good value too. I think if you overspray it might project a bit more too. I don't have any perfumes with lavender but I think I might need to change that 😊 do you have any others with lavender? Thanks so for watching and for your interesting comment! 🥰

@@dr.claire.perfume I definitely overspray Lovely and it lasts all day. The Lovely lotion is excellent as well. I have Ariana Grande Cloud and Jo Malone Myrrh and Tonka which are both heavy on lavender.

@@jennifers3699 I need some lavender in my life in fragrance! I am so tempted to buy Lovely, I keep think about it, 4 months later 🤣

@@dr.claire.perfume she’s a beauty! Musky lavender and inexpensive. Win-win!

You’ve to try Twilight body spray from Lush!

Oh thank goodness Veronica! There are at least two of us! 🤣 Yes I just didn't jam with it. Like you, I kept trying it, over about 4 weeks, wanting to love it but it was a no and I just don't get it... I've spent years wanting to try it and thinking I would love it from descriptions in videos 😳 it's such a shame.

SJP Lovely is absolutely perfect for work. Clean and non-offensive!

Oh thank goodness 😂 I am sure I would enjoy for her without the peach... I've clearly got issues with peach... I really wanted to love for her 😭 and I was so confused by the powdery description 🤨 lovely is pretty! I can definitely see why so many people love it and it's survived 17 years on the celebrity fragrance market, which is saying something!

Thank you! I actually bought a bottle of lovely after filming this and really enjoyed it. I wore it to bed mostly as it is extremely calming! I could still smell it when I woke up 😊 thanks for watching 🥰

@@christinelecher1406 yes I've tried in the years since this video and I really enjoy it. ☺️ Thanks for watching 🥰

Ooh yeah, I bet it's even nicer in summer... it's nice and delicate. It is a very pretty scent. It's stealth... You think awww that's nice and suddenly, you can stop reaching for it... It's a good easy reach. I've been wearing it to work a bit this month and enjoying the remainder of Paola's extremely large sample! Thank you for watching as always! 🥰

Yes! Me too! I bought Lovely in the end and I flew through a whole bottle in about a year. I ended up wearing it to bed a lot. It's enveloping and relaxing. It makes me think of hotel duvets. Please let me know which is your favourite flanker when you've tried them! I'm curious! Thanks for watching 🥰

I thought I was being odd, but that seems to be the consensus and I am amazed! 😂

Thank you Frances ❤️ I was very sad not to enjoy it 😔

Oh do they?! I've not smelt the Victoria's secret fragrance. Do you like the EDP or the EDT of For Her? 🥰

Thank you Gerda ❤️ I would love to try the EDT, as soon as I looked at the difference on the notes I knew I'd been hasty and bought the wrong one 🤦‍♀️ I will go to sniff it in a shop I think. Lovely is better for me after the opening is gone, it's pretty linear but the alcohol at the beginning is sharp. Have a lovely weekend 😘

It's good to be particular with fragrance. You will find one you love and stick with it. It's a good way to be. 👍

I really like Narciso Poudrée, Fleur Musc, Pure Musc, Musc Noir Rose and For Her EDT but I really don't think I've tried everything. I think perhaps some of those are discontinued now. Which ones did you enjoy? 🥰

⁠@@dr.claire.perfume. I saw at least 5 of them but I think there’s 11.

@@dr.claire.perfume. I’m not really sure as I only tried narciso rodriquez perfumes for the first time yeasterday. I’d never seen them before and I don’t tend like to blind buy perfumes 😊

@@amberfranklinmk93 well that's sensible, I hope you find one you love.

@@dr.claire.perfume. Knowing what I’m like I’ll probable get all of them and the flankers.

That is such striking difference! You are making me want to go sniff the EDT now! Softer and sweeter would be good. I am definitely not blind buying it 😂 lesson learnt! Thanks for letting me know you think they smell quite different. Have you tried Lovely? Do you think the EDT is more similar to Lovely than the EDP? I love poudrée and, other than the ambree, I am not tempted by any of the others, but if I get the opportunity to try them, I will! 😊

I have not tried Lovely. I kept adding it and removing it from my online cart. I have to blind buy it because i do not have where to test it. But try NR For her EDT. It is a completely different fragrance. No rose and as far as i know has some osmanthus. For me the rose seems to be a no.

@@dianadavid4250 I really love osmanthus, although I still struggle to tell it apart from apricot sometimes (don't tell anyone 😂) so I will go to try it!

I wish I got more rose! For most of the life of it, I get a lot of peach, it only get rosier after an hour or so. I didn't realise that so many people have such a problem with this one 🤯 I am really shocked! Thank you for watching 😘

the black bottle EDT is much better i thought lovely was a comparator for chan fragrances liked by people who like coco mademoiselle

Good tip Christine 👍 I know the Fragrantician loves that one! I will try it! I was definitely in some kind of spell with Lovely when I bought Narciso EDP 😂 I have seen the anniversary version of Lovely and didn't realise they were different 🤯 I was looking at lovely sheer, which I think is meant to be pretty different to Lovely, did you try that one? Thanks for watching Christine and for your suggestions 👍

They are loved I think! Especially Lovely because it's sooo affordable! Thanks for watching 🥰

I wish I saw its beauty but that's the fab thing about fragrance isn't it? We all love different things ❤️ thanks for watching 😘

@@dr.claire.perfume I really love the smell of sun-dried roses and this is what the edp for her exactly smells like. So yeah. That s the beauty of it ! Everyone smells it differently and that is what is amazing about watching reviews about fragrances like yours, Claire. Thank you !

Yes indeed, you are my go to comparison video maker! 🥰

You should do a comparison of you do get it, I think a lot of people would be interested in the differences. ❤️

I was asked the question which musk is in NR for Her before and here is my answer: As far as I know, NR for her EDT was a mix of galaxolide and a bit of ambrettolide, but that's from reading not from me being able to pick out particular musks. Although galaxolide when used excessively, is something that I do think is pretty distinctive, e.g. the vintage Trésor. But I know galaxolide is in the process of being banned (or may have been banned now, I'm not sure). I am not sure which fragrances would have ethylene brassylate, but I know that that musk is used sometimes to mimic galaxolide as LVMH did stop using galaxolide quite early on. Ethylene brassylate is also known as Musk T (Takasago), it's a round soft feminine skin musk. It can smell a little ambery or vanillic, but is usually used in combinations with other musks. It may be that NR for Her EDT has been reformulated to include Ethylene brassylate as a replacement for galaxolide over its 21 year history. Sorry but I'm not a perfumer so I have just read a lot about this! Asking an actual perfumer might yield a more accurate answer. I think probably searching for recipe lists from people who make fragrance clones using gas chromatography gcms information (they are even people on insta who post formulations and YT content too on how to make things) this may help you to find which fragrances share these musks and to confirm which musks NR for her EDT uses. That's the only way I can think to do it. I think it's hard to tell which musk is which sometimes because in general mixtures are used in fragrances, not just one. I would assume that a perfumer or someone more expert than me might be better able to tell you which fragrances might have what you are looking for. If you are interested, it's here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/itugdqilxp7akZs.html Hope that helps 🥰

Oh really, so idylle is like both of these... I didn't find them that similar 😂 I hate non fresh peach combined with patchouli and amber though, so that would probably be why 😂

@@dr.claire.perfume Is not identicaal, but when I smell it these 2 come to mi mind too.

@@EloisaMontesdeOcaTV they smelt identical from the nozzle and I never get to the drydown of for her because it fades so much, so maybe if I overspray, I might see the similarity! I never tried idylle. I will see if I can find it In a shop to spray, but maybe it is discontinued?

I agree, because when I smelt them from the nozzle, they smelt identical, so that would be the dry down. I just never got to the stage where the I could adequately smell the perfume on my skin at that stage, it faded 😔 yep it was the peach... Lovely is actually lovely it's cringe but true 😅

Layering would be good with these I think. I couldn't get on board with for her EDP and I resold my bottle. I do now have Narciso ambrée as well as poudrée.

It felt like for her was a very different perfume to Lovely. I don't think it is guaranteed that you won't enjoy it based on not liking lovely. Depends whether you like peach or not... You like Gucci Rush, so you might really like it 🤔

@@dr.claire.perfume I just might!

@@LaladaBeauty 😊

No worries! Fab question 👌

Same! I love ana abiyedh rouge! Someone sent me a sample of it, it's definitely my favourite dupe, but I've not tried BR540, only the extrait which is not for me.

Sometimes scents smell different on other people, I am guessing that's not the case here? For me, it's the peach with the patchouli and possibly also the amber that makes it a no. That trinity of notes is something I can really struggle with. Lovely shocked me with, sorry to do this, but it's true, how "lovely" it was. It's not exciting, but it's a good celebrity scent for sure. Thanks for watching 😘

I went to try the EDT today and it was sooo much nicer! Stick with the EDP unless you love the one and peach notes. 😉

I really want to try the EDT. I think the story might be different for me compared with the EDP. Lovely is a very simple perfume that doesn't really move along or develop much. Thank you for telling me you don't find them similar, I thought I was mad 🤯

Oh that is disappointing. I hate when the lotion and the perfume don't smell similar... I don't think Narciso for her smells like lovely, at least not for the first 2-3 hours...

Thank goodness! 🤣 Seems like we have similar tastes 🥰

@@dr.claire.perfume and I don't like the edt either!

@@merisesher4196 good to know, I tried the EDT a few months back and I liked it much better than the EDP but I didn't want to buy it.

I was really pleasantly surprised by Lovely! I think the lavender there is light and airy, not like soap lavender or lavender oils or aromatherapy, so that might be why you like it when you don't normally like lavender. Did you try both the EDT and the EDP of for her? I was really confused because I didn't find them similar apart from in the really far drydown. At that point, for her was really faint.

@@dr.claire.perfume i only have a sample of the narcisso rodriguez. I think its the one in the pink bottle

@@mhyla317 I went and tried the EDT and I thought it was much more me, and also a bit more similar to lovely. I wish I had got that one 🤦‍♀️

It's the best for me too 😊 I agree.

Oh thank you! I tried the EDT and loved it 🤦‍♀️ so I am thinking that I will buy that in the long run as my Narciso Poudrée is almost gone. I was impressed by lovely, it was much nicer than I remembered and I recently bought some 🙊 thanks for watching Mandy ❤️

@@dr.claire.perfume you have a new subscription 😂🙏

I know that Narciso Rodriguez for her EDP is loved, I think without the peach I might enjoy it! Thanks for watching! 🙂

I decluttered the EDP, but I didn't buy the EDT. I get what you mean with the EDT. I actually don't think either were for me... I wish I got to the powdery rose with the EDP 😂 I love powdery rose! The peach and patchouli sadly took over for me... I know for sure that there are many other people who do just get powdery rose though, there must be some huge difference in olfactory receptors between different people! I would love to know what is causing people to perceive the same fragrance so so differently, it would be so interesting to find out. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!

I am only curious about the ambree cube now I think... For her has killed my enthusiasm somewhat 😂 Julie honestly, I don't think I've ever felt so disappointed. I thought it was a guaranteed win 😂 I think I've hammered poudrée. I wore that quite a bit when I got it and in the month or two after and actually, I find it doesn't last beyond mid afternoon but I do really enjoy it when I'm in that kind of mood. I might go sniff pure musc if I can find it if you think that one is good. I found Lovely to be nicer than I remembered... I hadn't smelt it for years though so I could have misremembered. I have been wearing the rest of the sample and I find myself reaching for it for work. It's simple, elegant and clean but also a bit dull for much fun 😉

@@dr.claire.perfume pure musc is purely musc which some people don’t appreciate. The body shop had a pure musc sent too at some point but it’s different… I suggest you try it before purchasing. It’s my night on the couch in flannel pajamas scent but not for every one! ⛄️

@@julieg_quebec-julesselivre8641 ok thanks for the description. That sounds like me of late. I will go sniff it! 😊

Thank you! ❤️ I know you like peach! I remember one video where I think they were all peach fragrances 😂 literally my nightmare! 😂 I wish I could but I can't!

Maybe we just don't love peach and patchouli or peach and amber or generally non-fresh leach notes? I have quite figured it out yet 😂 I might check the ingredients and see whether I can see anything in common. 🤔 Gucci Rush, I had two bottles of at one point. I found one to be extremely plasticky. The other was sweeter and with more vanilla. I was using the plasticky one because I thought both bottles would smell the same and then one day, I tried the other and I was so shocked! I decluttered the plasticky one and I'm currently trying to decide whether I want to keep the other bottle or not. It could go either way 👀 sometimes I enjoy it, sometimes not 😂 Thanks for watching Tara! Lovely to hear from you! 🥰

I have the same exact problem with peach (and apricot) notes! I find them almost nauseating when strong. I also find BR 540 to smell like a dentist's office, while my husband finds it irresistibly sweet and sexy. My son seems to share my nose and my daughter seem to share her dad's. Perfumes also smell very differently on our skins. I find it all very fascinating, as it explains why we have such different tastes when it comes to fragrances!

I totally get that it could be too much! 🥰

Yes lovely is quite literally lovely 🤣 I did actually buy a bottle after I recorded this and I wore it to bed and also to work and really enjoyed it. It's so long lasting! But yes, I finished the bottle, which says it all really. Thanks for watching 🥰

Lovely is close to skin but it does last. I agree there are a lot of perfumes to avoid out there though! I would love to try M. ❤️

I've not tried that one, but I heard it's quite powdery so I guess that might be why?

Thank you ❤️

Which one did you not enjoy? I've probably watched you declutter it and forgotten 🤦‍♀️

@@dr.claire.perfume lol it’s For her I think it’s the edt the black bottle it gave me a headache and all I smelled was nail polish remover 🤦‍♀️🤣 I do have to give the house another chance maybe one of the cubes ☺️

I really like Lovely. It's a versatile everyday perfume. Great value too. Lovely that a scent can remind you of you mom. 🥰

@@christinelecher1406 yes that's what I say in the video at some point (from memory... It's hazy cos this was recorded years back now 😂).

🙂 I wish I had loved that NR for her but I just didn't and it's found a loving new home 😂

@@dr.claire.perfume I just bought a huge bottle of lovely. I’m forcing myself to use the NR edp. My favorite NR is Pure Musc. Amazing, amazing perfume.

@@Um.canal.que.eu.sigo. You are the 4th person to say that, I need to go to try it!!! I really liked Fleur musc and also musc noir rose.

I always thought I liked musk but trying for her made me doubt it! 😂 I don't think price influences me much, although I think I generally judge more expensive things more harshly. I think I am pretty open minded with which price point I choose E.g. chocolate, I love everything from Sainsbury's basics, or whatever it's called now, cheapest dark bar to dairy milk to hotel Chocolat. There are good ones and bad ones at every price point. M&S is a chocolate low point for me from what I've tried, although they can do chocolate biscuits, definitely not marshmallow teacakes though.... I wrote to them about those... That was a tangent no one wanted, back to the point... I think other people's views had certainly given me preconceptions with these though. I was surprised when they didn't turn out to be what I smelt and felt. 🤷‍♀️

@@dr.claire.perfume I wrote to marks about their chorizo crisps... All natural no artifical flavouring... So how the fook were they veggie? How can they not contain pork. They rudely ignored me but that was a clearly misleading... 🤣 I love Aldis cheap choc, their white chocolate is some of the best ive ever tasted. And you know what. You're so right the more expensive something is the more likely I'm less polite about it when it's just generic or not very good.

@@scentedsnowdrops I do wonder what's in veggie and vegan food. I remember a friend going vegan at school and me being very perplexed that smokey bacon crisps were vegan 🤔 maybe there are some veg extracts or yeast extracts that taste meaty like marmite maybe? I'm not sure. Anyway they shouldn't ignore you. They were nicer to me and refunded me in vouchers. I think it was something like £1.20 😂 their marshmallow teacakes were not even on the same planet as Tunnocks. I love those! What exactly is a layer of jam doing in there? Plus the marshmallow was like a sheet of bubble wrap that came away from the biscuit as soon as I bit it. Ok I should calm down. Bad confectionery is clearly my politics. Do you mean the choceur white choc or the Moser Roth? The few times I've stayed in pricey hotels I think I've had a similar feeling and judginess, it's been either "this is amazing and worth it" or "no, this is a rip off". Nothing was just alright. 😂 Wore siren and sailors today cos I had a super scary meeting. All I did was nod 🤦‍♀️ Very comforting anyway! You won't agree I don't think, but today it reminded me of intense café, just cleaner, less foggy, nicer and boozier.

@@dr.claire.perfume oh its defo not as synthetic as a montale 🤣 but you know what I do see the similarities, were u thinking of naughty parties. No it's Aldis own brand £0.30 utter bargain 🤣. And you were right to complain, they shudnt make substandard nonsense and yea things that are advertised as meat shouldn't be veggie it's just not right

@@scentedsnowdrops yes, and with more than one pirate 😂 it's good to fantasise when you are doing boring things, although I do often make mistakes or say inappropriate things out loud by mistake so maybe not! I think Choceur and Moser Roth are also Aldi brands but I will check for it! I haven't tried much choc from there. Seb said they had 9p Lindt style choc reindeers last Sunday and he didn't get any 🤦‍♀️ not sure how good they are. Conversely I think things like vegan sausage or vegan bacon are for people who are being vegan for health reasons rather than ethical ones. I don't think I could manage veganism. I could probably just about manage being vegetarian though.

Yes I agree, lovely is very relaxing to me. It would make a good one to wear in a public facing role. I've not tried rumeur. I will look out for it. I've seen it in TKMaxx occasionally. ☺️

@@dr.claire.perfumeit’s worth a try. If anything, it’s an MFK fragrance that doesn’t cost £££ for a change.

I've tried Mon Guerlain a few times and I've never been too enthusiastic. I'm on the fence though. I think it's only the peach, amber patchouli combination that I don't enjoy in for her. If I could just have the rose patchouli musk that would be fine 😂

@@dr.claire.perfume 😸have you tried Valentina (the pink one of Valentino)? It does have Amber but maybe it will be more pleasent?

@@silverliningfragrance1434 no I haven't, I know a place that stocks it though so I can try it. Thank you for the suggestion! ❤️

Mon Guerlain is 10 times better. 😉

I went to try the EDT after this video and I really should have bought that one 😂 so much nicer to me! I'm glad that you are enjoying it 😊 thanks for watching ❤️

Right Veronica, you need to make me a list ✍️

@@dr.claire.perfume recent ones: Tresor the og and Gucci Rush

@@VeronicaSays I just finished a vintage mini of Tresor from Gabi, I think the top notes had gone somewhat so it was ok, it smelt like cigarettes and stewed apricots! Gucci Rush I already decluttered on bottle and the second one is on the chopping block... So yeah I'm with you 👍

I honestly don't know why I don't smell what other people smell 😂 I wish I did smell that, I mostly smell peach.

I need to smell it ☺️

🍑☠️🤣

That's really interesting, I think you might be right. For me it's not all fragrances with peach that I dislike either, the fresher ones are generally better than the powdery vanilla / patchouli / amber ones.

@@dr.claire.perfume i think that there may be other, more sophisticated blends that mimic a peach scent, but i'm still very much a novice so I'm not familiar with them. my guess would be that those are the ones you don't dislike. when i put c14 on a scent strip to start learning it, the first thing i got was a very harsh peach, like a peach gummy candy, and the waxiness became apparent after about 10 minutes and did not go away for entire life of the scent. apparently aldehyde c14 isnt even an aldehyde, but a lactone. maybe that means more to you than it does to me, since you have much more knowledge of organic chemistry than i do (nearly none lol)

Ooh yes I think there are some decalactones that smell like peach if I remember? I think that's what's in Gucci Rush, another fragrance that I really do struggle with, especially the vintage formulation.

@@dr.claire.perfume the perfumery supplier Pell Wall does note gamma decalactone, gamma dodecalactone, and delta decalactone as other peach materials. maybe lactones just have some off notes that require skill to work around

Maybe?! I think davana can make things a bit peachy almost. I guess that is perhaps more the texture though.

I think a lot of people get that. My friend AniScents says that's what she smells. I wish that's what I got.. 🤷‍♀️ and not just the peach 😂

I really couldn't wear the EDP. It was decluttered immediately after this video 😂 but I have lots of issues with peach so that might be why it's not for me.

Hey Tera! Is it you who loves Lovely Sheer? I've not tried the EDT but I am going to go try it in store and see whether I dislike it like the EDP 😂

@@dr.claire.perfume my dislike of the original has kept me away from all flankers

@@OpinionatedScents ok, must have been someone else. I heard lovely sheer is pretty different to Lovely, but I am yet to try it...

Not being able to test stuff is really annoying... I only have poudrée. I want to try the ambree (peachy orange colour one). I can imagine lovely being something I would only wear to work when I had to be sensible, like a conference or a meeting with someone I don't know. Thanks you for watching Tina, I really appreciate it and loved hearing your thoughts. Don't let me put you off for her, if you don't hate peach, you might enjoy it. 😊

@@dr.claire.perfume I did spray that last summer and it seemed to disappear so fast. Like less than an hour. I think there's a place for light perfumes, but that was very very light! I need to try it again! I'm leaning towards finding a nice raspberry. Like absolutely blooming. That might be my next one 😁

@@Tina-wi7we ambree or poudrée or rouge? 😂 Assuming rouge? I find poudrée doesn't last that long, maybe 4-5 hours, it does fade... I have quite a few raspberry scents, most of them really sweet though. I've not tried absolutely blooming.

@@dr.claire.perfume what about these three cubes, Claire? I'm lost. Sorry. What are your raspberry scents, please?

@@Tina-wi7we the one you sprayed last summer and it disappeared very quickly, I wondered which one you were talking about. Also you were talking about raspberry fragrances.
