I love Etiket! I go every time I’m visiting my husband’s family in Montreal. Thanks for your insights on Guidance. Very helpful! Also, Psychedelic Love is my fave of the house. Oddly enough, I sometimes like to layer it with tea scents like Winter Palace or Wulong Cha. I don’t mix them but apply each fragrance separately on skin.

I got a sample of Musk Therapy and I’m not a musk person but boy oh boy I love it!!! Valaya is on my wish list also! I think I’ll get a decant first to see if I love it!🎉Amouage is one of my favorite perfume house. I remember back in the day when I first started trying niche,I fell in love (now this was around 12 years ago).. thank you for a great vdieo!

I haven't tried many of these, but I've had Tihoto and think it's really nice, and I ADORE Psychedelic Love! One of my absolute favorites. (And the only Initio I've tried besjdes Side Effect, which is nice but doesn't blow me away) I'd really like to try Musk Therapy. I do have issues with white musk dominant perfumes lasting on me though. But I love them. Thanks for sharing. 😊

@@TheScented Omgosh…I went there to check. Hilarious! It’s a nice scent but it’s a musky, sweet, vanilla. Starts off light then warms up to evolve to the nice, deep vanilla. I wouldn’t say it’s hugely different from Nuit et Confidences, except there is more musk in it.

I'm shocked you got a sea-like smell from Amouage Guidance. I didn't get any of that lol. I mainly smelled the frankincense, tons of hazelnut, vanilla, and rose. Almost dessert-like. Very potent gourmand perfume in my opinion. Crazy how different things smell on each individual person!

I will never understand the comparisons to Fleur Narcotique which I find to be overrated with mediocre performance. Valaya was a pleasant surprise to me especially since Im not big on PDM as a house. Rosee is the only one I kinda liked previously from the female line of that house. Valaya has great projection which i appreciate. I like Guidance and have gotten more compliments from it than any oher fragrance so far this year. Crazy!

It has to be personal taste. I tried Valaya and at first I didn’t like it. I had a sample as well. I came back to it and found it to be really beautiful and complex. And soooo long lasting. Stays on my skin all day and I can smell it on my clothes and hair the next day. Also have received compliments from my boyfriend as well as female and male friends. So saying it doesn’t last and it’s flat out not good when you have a tiny sample bottle might not be a fair assessment. I appreciate your videos and insight and also want to give another perspective for anyone who might be considering getting it.

@TheScented Жыл бұрын

I understand that your experience is different and of course skin chemistry is a factor that goes without saying. However small the sample may be, I did wear through it, experienced it from start to finish and dedicated a significant amount of time to critiquing the fragrances :) this is part of my review policy.

Hi Jana, I felt the same about Tihota it was underwhelming it didn't last on the skin. The price is high and in a world full of vanilla perfumes it isn't one I would choose. I want to smell Interlude. Could you pick up the Kiwi note they talk about? I love Psychedelic love when I first smelled it. One of those love at first sniff... The hedione must be part of why it's so attractive. Thanks for sharing your sampling with us! 🌷~ Jenn

@reneklein6049 Жыл бұрын

Yana, can you recommend a fragrance that has vanilla, oud, musk, and perhaps fig or sandalwood? I'm not a floral lover, but I adore Oud, but not too overpowering. My go to has been Versace Crystal Noir, but it's not really a summer scent. I also don't care for green scents. If I could fine a lighter scent of Crystal Noir, that would be perfect. I'm so grateful to you and your knowledge. ❤❤

@TheScented Жыл бұрын

Hmm, I'll have to think on that! I do think that you would enjoy psychedelic love and Lake & Skye Midnight 07 (it's somewhat similar but has a fig note. Also a bit more affordable)

Bal d'Afrique is way more aromatic, I love it though, while Musk Therapy lasts way longer and the white musk is supe prominent; I love it. Due to the rose and osmanthus (notes that I don't get along with, osmanthus is a hate actually but the rose here isn't a dislike as it's a bit powdery and not jammy) I will use my sample of Guidance but there is something more that bothers me and I don't know what it is 😵‍💫I have to find an Amouage fragrance that is totally me so I will try Amouage Interlude woman. I looove Psychedelich Love. I don't like the amber accord or resinous scents but this is, somehow, a winner for me.

Etiket has a great selection of niche perfumes, which is great, however, those sample dabbing decants are difficult to truly understand what the perfume smell like once sprayed from an atomizer. I bought 10 samples and ended up disliking most of the perfumes. The spray decants would be my preference and I would buy from them, but would definitely order sample decants from other places that offers the spray option to test out the scents. Fast service. I trust them. But the dabber decants have got to go.
