I'm 29 and I absolutely love your channel. Its so refreshing to see a real, down to earth personnaly here on KZfaq, and someone with bold, unconventional choices ! Im so tired of sugar bombs and PR from the other fragrance influencers. I happen to love some vintage perfumes to such as Angel, Eternity, Soir de Lune, Shalimar, Jaipur, Kenzo Jungle... I dont care if these are called grandma scents. Lets leave the overpriced sented boring hipster waters for the masses 😂. I also love how moved you are by some perfumes and how you recall some memories to them, which is (I think) the real beauty and magic of our olfactive sense. Its such a pity that perfumery is reduced to "panty droppers", "mankillers", "clean girl aestetics"... Even though I understand that most people wear perfume to seduce and gather compliments, you should want to wear perfume because it speaks to YOU and you first. So many people put pride on the price of their perfumes, the name on the bottle, the popularity. Sometimes when I see some videos or comments, I cant help but wonder : is perfumery an art, is it personnal pleasure or has it become a trend based on snobbery, overconsumption, social acceptance and insecurities ? Me personnaly, I know where I stand...

A fabulous homage to the 80s. I can never understand why there is so much hate for Angel. The first time I smelled it I just thought it was absolutely divine and that has not changed. It's a masterpiece. I also remember wearing Red Door a lot in the 80s, that was a favorite of mine as well. And Poison ... got it for Christmas one year. You're so right, let's give these fragrances the round of thunderous applause they deserve. They are iconic. And all the perfume snobs who say they hate them ... well let them miss out. :) Loved this video, love your sass and I love your channel.

I appreciate your vlogs. I just turned 40 and decided to step outside my comfort zone. I have always worn safe fruity florals, I now appreciate more deeper fragrances. I had bought a bottle of Arpege, and my 14 year old daughter has taken it, and wears it daily. She loves more heavy scents, like Oud. I really appreciate her boldness in scent choices.

You are sassy today, and I am living for it🙌🏻🤣🤣😋 LOVE your videos! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

RED DOOR is how a lady should smell❤

OMG, my twin soul girl. My rebel Gaby, well said and damn the torpedoes. Bravo!!!!!!

The Incense mixed with the powdery notes in Lou Lou is to die for...

Poison is one of my favorite scents of all time. My mom and I used to share our perfumes; we loved Clinique Aromatics Elixir, Dune, Poison, and she also loved Donna Karan Cashmere Mist and Liz Claiborne -- a real 80s scent. I think I would like Angel but it's too pricey for me to do a blind buy. Will send for a sample.

I love Lou Lou and I brought it after watching your video and thank you. I had someone say who sprayed bug spray. Then I had someone give me a compliment. Well, I had to agree on both statements. I just love it.

You’re a diamond Gabi my heart sang with joy when I saw your perfume choices. Absolutely adore these amazing big fragrances. Thank you for always being authentic and true ❤Seemi

Congrats Gaby for one of your best (if not the best of all ) videos! I wish I could hit the "like" button a hundred more times . You spoke out my mind and you spoke straight to my heart! Every word about vintage perfumes, modern perfumery, today's fashion, personal taste and authenticity was well and wisely said. I don't care about people's comments on vintage perfumes. I proudly wear whatever I want depending on my mood; Poison, Coco, Cinnabar, Parfum de Peau, Eau de Soir, Must de Cartier, Magie Noire, Boucheron to name a few. I really enjoy wearing them and I'm not going to compromise and smell like candy floss because this is a trend now. Your video made my day! Thank you for being authentic! 👋👋 ❤

Hi Gabi! Angel was the best perfume to open the video with. I love Angel and really want a full bottle. I like Opium, Obsession (not sure how I feel about the current version). Red Door is so nuclear; I need a small bottle. You know that I love Lou Lou, and Anais Anais. I need to give Eden another try. I don’t get “synthetic jungle”. To my nose, it’s a fruity patchouli scent akin to Gucci Rush. Poison is the perfume that started it all for me. I have the vintage EdT in the tall oval bottle. The new version is still okay. I agree with you that the Poison line is the best. The most hated fragrance that I talk about on my channel is definitely Anais Anais. I always get a comment from someone who hates it.

What a fun video! Girrr, you go ahead and rock your big bold scents, enjoy it! I think vanilla manufacturers control the perfume industry these days. Everything is yucky vanilla. No artistry to perfume anymore. Although it is an icon, Angel is likely the one that started the gourmand craze. And Flowerbomb kept it going strong. I so loathe the gourmand scents. I just don't want to smell like food. I agree about Poison and LouLou. I'm lately coming to the realization that tuberose is really my thing. I adore Fracas as well. Obsession and Opium are amazing on a few people, not on me. But, Chanel makes softer gentler versions of these two. Coco is the soft refined version of Opium, and Allure is the softer refined version of Obsession. The Chanels are not timid in the least, both have huge sillage. Chanel has just sort of smoothed out the rough edges, for people like me who accept the fact that we just cannot carry off Opium and Obsession. Love your videos.

16:56 I believe Nurse Ratched was from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

Love you!!! I love you love the perfumes I wore when I was in my 20’s and I still love them!! I hate when the younger people say they are grandma scents…WTF! Sorry just another sassy woman!!❤

Just to let you know all the Cacharel parfums are available in every parfum shop here in Barcelona and so is Angel and the rest of Muegler's fragances. Calvin Klein is widely available as well I supposse people still wear them. Gaby I totally agree with you on that idea parfum has no age,gender or season, just enjoy and be happy feeling as glamorouse as Cleopatra😉

I absolutely love your brilliant authenticity Gabi! Yes yes. You were on fire, and Iloved it. Round of applause for the originals of the 70’s 80’s and 90’s! I am on your side completely yes! ❤️🌹

I own some of these and love em Tfs Gabi and no we will not apologize 😂

Poison, Angel & Eden were probably my most worn scents that I still rock occasionally. Lou Lou was in the rotation too.

Love Eden! I do not know anything like it, still now! Poison and Obsession are Party Staples in my mind ❤ and Organza, I used to love that one

Angel 🩵🪽wearing my vintage Angel today too. 😍

You go, Gabby. Tell it like it is! I love a bunch of these scents you talk about here and wear them proudly. I'm quite a bit older than you are I believe - and I figure - if not now, then when, to be your authentic self?! Believe it or not - I've not got my nose on Angel yet - (yes, I"m ashamed) - and I'm in the process now of hunting down a vintage Eden and your descriptions of box and bottle here help a lot. Your vids are truly the best!

I was quite late in the perfume game, although I always loved and used scents. So there are the now vintage ones, due to my age like Obsession the original one, White Linen, Cinnabar, L'air du temps, Red Door, AnaisAnais and several others and the "newer" ones that are from the last twenty or thirty years until now. Today I don't want miss any of them because they always pepresent a certain time or mood in my life. And YES they all have to be worn. Most of them are Masterpieces.

Hell yes Gabi!! Yes! It was a form of art in past decades, nowadays everyone just smells like food. I don't want to smell likd that! All perfumes you mentioned are unique, perfectly recognizable, with soul! Now brands sold their soul to the profit and money. Today my scent of the day was my beloved original Opium and in my work place people commented I smelled good and sexy. One I absolutely adore and get the opoosite reaction is Shalimar. Not sorry fof it. Retried Red Door in an airport recently and I must get a big bottle. It's so elegant and classy. I am currently trying to find Jaipur the original from Boucheron because it was made by the master Sophia Grojsman and discontinued... love you so much! You are a rare gem of a person! ❤❤❤

Big scents are so unfairly maligned! Angel was, for a long time, the signature scent of one of my best friends. I cannot smell it without thinking of her, though I never wear it myself. For me, I'm slowly tracking down vintage bottles of my favorite big scents of the past. Obsession was easy, as was my beloved Fendi, and I just recently found a pre-bar code bottle of Poison in an antique mall (barely used, all the notes largely intact). Now I'm hoping to have as lucky a find when it comes to Opium.

My Daddy loved Opium on me. And my Mother. He wore Obsession for men after shave. I miss my Daddy. 😢

I used to get so many compliments...saying how good i smelled..back in 95😂 wearing Eden...i also loved the lighter version...air de Eden...cannot remember

Great video 💞 I'm thinking about getting one Angel edp and Eden this days 🙂

in a 64 year old man, and I wear whatever i please, I'm not a clone but I do wear clone fragrances. Good on you love❤

Absolutely!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Originality, craftsmanship, just beautiful!

Nurse Ratched is from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest! When Louise Fletcher accepted her Academy award she said “Looks like you all hated me so much you gave me an award for it”. 😂 Another great video Gabi. Couldn’t agree more that fragrance knows no gender, age or even season. 😘

I was 14 when I discovered CK's Obsession, and I loved it so much ❤, although my classmates were all wearing CK One, All about Eve or Oilily scents, I really didn't care smelling "like a priest" or "like an oriental brothel" as some of them said. 😜 After that, I discovered Opium (l had just a little bit of pocket money at that time, so I had to wait for my godmother to gift it to me for Christmas), she always wore LouLou, and I adored it on her, then I fell in love with Angel and somewhat later with Dior Addict (the REAL original formula), and so the perfume story it goes on until now (I am turning 44 next month), I still love all those scents and have a "collection" of about 150 perfumes now (I use all of them, some more than others), and just like you I don't care about what other people think about it or no matter what season, I wear my Tubéreuse Criminelle, Shaghaf Oud, Habanita, LouLou, Fils de Joie, Cinnabar,... And it makes me happy 😍 l learned the hard way to "not give a damn", especially about what toxic people think or try to get you do for them. 💪🏻 So yes, I am also part of your team, and very happy that I have discovered your channel recently 🤩 Many greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪🙋🏻‍♀️

Im delighted to say I also own and wear all of those fragrances you mentioned other than the Paris Hilton one ! And I adore them. I wore Poison edt today. Also wore red door over the bank holiday. Obsession to bed last night. They bring me joy. Love you Gabby

For me, it's Organza by Givenchy and Casmir by Chopard. Also, White Linen by Estee Lauder. Love these. They made better perfumes in the 20th Century! I wish they would bring them back. There was one I loved called Alchime by Rochas. That was a great one!

I have all these wonderful fragrances Gabbi. You are right about true artistry in these fragrances. A lot of fragrances now are watered down.

I’ve got a bottle of 90s treasure today. It’s so rare, it’s so special, it was waiting for me since 1992😊 It is a 100% va va voom and more, Supermodels of Versace shows, Courtney love in her best years, Interview with a vampire and Dracula, giant raspberry from the fever dreams. I was a toddler at that time but somehow I was feeling in 2000s how things suddenly got worse and while wanting at that time to have something I truly truly love, something that will make me having a sweet heart ache I didn’t find anything that beautiful. I wanted to wear something as hauntingly beautiful and original as beautiful ladies of my childhood were wearing around but I didn’t know what was it. My mother wasn’t a perfume lover. I almost stopped using perfumes except one because it was made with good taste and wasn’t silly or cloying but it was too light and pale to fulfill my hunger. Last year read two books by Luca Turin, went to fragrantica and after many months of testing vintages and modern perfumery I can say with audacity that you are completely right. If you want to find something great, it will take time and knowledge of the perfume industry and many perfume companies which do not have hype. Till the middle of 00s you could just go to any corner and choose between stunning creations. By the way my treasure is Versace Versus Donna.

Hello Gabby, you opened my eyes! I was always hunting for a new scent in the new perfumes that are coming out and out and out again. But no chance at all to find something impressing me. Why!? They can not conquer with the ones we had in the seventies, eighties and nineties! Not at all! It was not just me thinking that there is nothing new which satisfies me! Thank you Gaby!👍😊❤️ Buy the way how do you spell Gabby? I see so many versions here in the comments…😘

"Smiling like a chimpanzee" 🤣❤

Lou Lou is loved or not loved. I had a bottle in the early 90s, it was a gift, I didn’t use it because it was and still is something that I don’t enjoy. Poison, both the original and Tendre, I adored and wish I could go back in time and experience it again and again. I’m coming around to Angel ❤️. Yes, fragrances today definitely lack originality and character. A lot of it is meant to echo the sweet addition of candy and confectionery. I can’t handle smelling like a hot buttered blueberry muffin or like something at children’s birthday parties. Bottles might as well come with a baby pacifier and a rattle.

Yay! Sent a love letter over 😂 ❤ mother is constantly mothering over here. Thank god cuz it was a rough day. Love love love me some Gabi! Im a huge Angel fan. Have u ever smelled Angel Nova? Pink flanker that smellls like berries with a woodsy base. Lovely.

Cacharel has some gems for sure. I used to wear Promese and I adored that fragrance. Sadly discontinued and nowhere to be found. I haven’t smelled Eden or Loulou, but I have a feeling the new formulations are not the same as the vintage ones you own. Recently got a sample of Angel EDP and actually thought it was nice. I’m the Alien fan, but I appreciate Angel .

Thanks for sharing 😇

Great job, Gabi!!! Lots of love 🙂

Beautiful vid Gabi. I agree about Dior Poison... My signature until today! 💕My Mother claimed between '86 to around '90 the whole house got poisoned by me 😋 I further went on to work for the company years later, proving my dedication and lust for it. Pure Alchemy scent, it is not the same.. never will be. 💕

Hi Gabby brilliant video, When you were talking about obsession, I could smell it still in my mind although i haven't smelt it for many years I owned a fair few bottles of it and Escape and Loulou and Eden ❤❤❤❤

I know for me after 2001 when the FDA bamnaed and removed ingredients i stopped biuying alot of designers bc they became weak and watered down reformulated garbage WHILE the price tripled. Thats a scam. In disgusted so if im 1 person who feels this way im sure there's thousands of other women my age u feel the same,and watched the quality disintegrate.. I was around and had many perfumes in the 80s&90s and everything, including drug store perfumes were dense,dark and long lasting. Well worth the price. Boy how i miss the days ans those juices. Im soooo disappointed in almost every designer i smell

Always fabulous, always lovely ✨ Fellow Angel girl 🥰 I cannot remember if you’ve talked about this fragrance before, but Lust from Lush would be PERFECT on this list as well!!

Angel my beloved Angel. I am your crowd.

The best ppl are crazy ... Gabby every one on the list i have loved and still do .. the only one i have never had is the Paris Hilton one , but if you love it i know i will ..so ill be on the hunt .. love them all bar the one ... i agree on all you have stated . love and big hugs from Kat xoxo

Maybe these are not the most polarizing scents ever, but definitely unusual for someone my age (19): gucci Bloom Profumo di Fiori - such an improvement from the original beautiful white-yellow floral Pani Walewska - the OG grandma floral, so affordable and unique Oriflame Mirage - sadly discontinued, mirage is a perfect name. all the notes blend together perfectly. definitely could be very polorizing in today's market, shares similiarities with midnight poison reminiscence patchouli - THE basement patchouli, not super wearable for me on its not, but layered its lovely

I totally agree with you. I grew up in the 80's and I remember then that every perfume had its own unique DNA and scent profile, each one totally different to the other thus making them distinct from each other. Today I go into the perfume store looking for something unique and all they are selling are flankers of a flanker of a flanker, and when you smell your tester cards they all smell more or less the same and you end up going home smelling like a cocktail of "sameness'. The creation of perfumes (like any art) is a reflection of the people living in different times. Back in the 80's people were more creative and had more emotion which is why the music was better. Art without any emotion can only breed replicas for financial gain and not for art sake. Today, people have lost their creativity and having any emotion is considered a weakness and even mocked and this inevitably has affected the creation of perfumes (art) and the result is a globalised (sameness) perfume filling different bottles and masquerading under different names - much like the person who goes online and creates numerous accounts under different names.

Angel was my first designer fragrance my mother bought me as a teenager. It will always be special and unique to me! ❤

💙 Angel is amazing! It's beautiful. What the heck?!

Omg, I used to wear Red Door, Poison (green bottle, purple bottle), Obsession, Opium in the 90’s. I wanted Angel so bad when I smelt it in 1998. It’s not like I remember!

Why did I never try Eden? 1994 I was 19. I’ll have to blind buy it. NO perfumes like in our childhoods, Gabi. LouLou was one of my favorites that I never bought for myself! My friends mother wore it and I just remember that original formula! STRONG!!!! And different! 🩵♥️. I loved Georgio Red too!!!! Poison, my neighbor Jena wore it….. she was 8 years older than me. She also got me into New Wave music. I love it now more than EVER!!!! The Cure, Depeche Mode, Siouxsie and the banshees, New Order, The Psychedelic furs…… LOVE!!! 💗 The British Invasions….HAHA! For a Texas girl I do not like Country music at ALL! The old stuff maybe! 😊 I just adore you! Bye, Gabi. 😘😘😘

I just adore your channel!! You are so fabulous, and have the best energy every!!! I share your deep love for fragrance! So happy I found your channel. I just bought my first bottle of Eden, and I LOVE it!!! It is divine! Such a different fragrance, that reminded me somewhat of original Giorgio from the 80's, or am I just nuts??? What do you think Gabby? Anyway, I love Eden! On another note, in my opinion one of the things that has happened to the fragrance industry is all of the newer generations of young people purchase fragrance from "Bath and Body Works", or Victoria's Secret", and stores of that caliber. A bit too cookie cutter for me. I want something different, and bold that says HEY, here I am love me or not, I don't care because I smell better than you are capable of understanding!!! Lol!! Until your next video, I wish lots of love and happiness from your new friend from US Alabama!

Ciara. she gives no fux and knows her worth. Period.

Angel… LOVE it ❤

Do you remember Perry Ellis 360?? I remember it from when I was in high school in the 90s and I loved it!!!

I don’t understand why so many people hate on those fragrances. I agree with you 100% you wear it because you like it. I happen to love all of those fragrances that you talked about.The other ones that get a lot of hate is Carolina Herrera good girl, I love it, and I wear it same with black opium YSL!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

I’ve loved poison since I was 18 I’m 54 now I’ve always got a bottle of it love it so much Angel is another one I love Need to get me another bottle of Eden it’s my favourite cacharel ever Obsession I loved back in the day that’s one I may just get reacquainted with Love your choices gabbi as usual xxx

Love all the fragrances you mentioned, except Lou Lou... When it was released, I was a child, and I was so mesmerized by that genie dabber bottle, and as I was a bit older, I tried it, but nope.... still nowadays I smell it sometimes in store, but to me it has such a burnt plastic note that I cannot stand... 😣 Definitely love Poison much much more!

So funny because I wear them all, I don't like to wear the same perfumes, same clothes, sane hair that the crowds wear . Perfumes, louder, sweeter, "weirder", they're the ones for me. Bring it on, I just love your videos ❤️

Oh my goodness I have all of these ❤

Gaby me alegra mucho haberte encontrado. Disfruto tus bellos y profundos aportes. Gracias por compartir tus experiencias con las gragancias❤

Red Door is my mom's scent and I love it❤

❤

I just accidently saw your video and when I saw the lovely Angel, I knew this was for me :) 🌠🥰 ! And then Obsession; I loved that too ! I was young too in the 90ties 🙂😊 But my over all favourite is Boudoir, Vivienne Westwood and I bet you love that one too ?!

Youth dew, Cabochard, Cabotine, ET Passion, Ma Griffe...

What an amazing video Gabbi! Full of great fragrances! I really can't understand why or how people dislike or even hate them.And most of all Angel! My beloved Angel! I knew it would be on the list! I adore it ! It's my eternal love!❤ I've told you so many times Gabbi,right?😊 Angel is totally me,who I am, who I want to be .It has got me through everything. The vintage one of course. But I only have 1/3 of a bottle left and I am trying desperately to find another bottle... Gabbi could you please tell me where to look for it?If you have any suggestions, I would really appreciate it! 🙂I also love Eden .

Thank you so much for saying what many others dont dare to say, yes, most of the parfum industry, if not all, had become a factory of fast selling candy for the masses, and probably thats why i spent years smelling testers but always leaving undecided, to me parfums today smell almost all the same, when i was a child in the 80s i had the chance to smell Chanel n5, Organza, Eternity, Opium, Faubourg 24 from Hermes, and i think the nose and the brain dont lie, i think the same as you, parfums were so much better before.

The blonde is gorgeous ❤ 3:21 Of course!! We’re Angels for life. And the new flanker is a-ma-zing 5:36 I prefer this to the EDT. Controversial? I simply don’t care 😝😬 7:01 ❤ 9:24 The ‘cartouche’ 14:37 😮😆😆

Back in the day, 70s, 80s, and 90s, fragrances had to stand up against the cigarette smoke. As cigarette smoking became taboo, fragrance houses stopped making perfumes as strong. Personally give me back my strong perfumes 😂!!

My fragrances that are not well loved are Magie Noir, Youth Dew, and Aromatics Elixir. Applied lightly, they are amazing. Overdone, and people run for the Excedrin. Giorgio is one of those polarizing scents as well. That one I never got on with. I think that when they took out the allergens, the endangered plants, and the nitro musks, fragrance got light and watery. L’Eau d’Issey ushered in that love of aquatic, watery “clean” scents. From there is got even lighter and next businesses starting banning fragrance wearing. Amazing Grace was the pinnacle of the extended shower gel fragrance phase. The ingredient I do not care for that is in everything these days is synthetic woody amber. It catches in my throat, especially Ambroxan.

To this day, I have yet to try Obsession or Poison... 😬 I'll get there... You can at least be a bit reassured by knowing I used to wear a somewhat dupe of Opium when I was 11 years old (Ispahan by Yves Rocher) and wore Cabotine and Anaïs Anaïs even younger. And I'm really enjoying my 30mls of Eden. 🥰

Gabi I thought Claude was filming 😂 it’s all good tho

I love every one of them ... opium was my signature scent

Kada neko kaže da je neki miris 'grandma', momentalno znam da se radi o osobi koja nije 'polite,'nema aristokratsko ponasanje,duh i da je siromasnog porekla. Svi ti divni 'grandma'mirisi su upravo ovo, sto sam rekla da te osobe koje ih kritikuju- NISU I NEMAJU!!! LOVE YOU GABI❤

Ma'am you deserve an 👏❤

I just realized you might be thinking of the Ryan Murphy series Ratched with the beautiful Sarah Paulson- pay me NO attention! 😂

I also love Estee Lauder cinnabar .

Forever Angel, since i remember. In love.

Wow your mention of being a kid rolling in dirt not worried is just opppff thank you for the reminder

We currently live in a world where you're not supposed to offend, not supposed to 'trigger' anyone, you're supposed to celebrate your individuality while not excluding anyone the mantra of inclusivity all around, you're supposed to be confident but not too confident to a point where others might feel overshadowed by your confidence, you're supposed to be mindful of every possible allergy out there and exclude any agent that might cause an allergic reaction in 1 in 100k people, you're supposed to be unapologetically you but only while making sure that nobody feels threatened by your you-ness, be you, but not like that... and the industry caters to that zeitgeist, caters to the omnipresent dogma of the smallest common denominator. And so everyone wears the mildest, most generic, and most universally pleasing vanilla-coconut-musk or vanilla-citrus-musk concoctions

throw in Addict love

Gaby..u never mention Chloe Narcisse....carnation bomb ..cannot find it easy anymore

Yes yes and yes Angel. Have you smelled Jalia? It’s got an Angel vibe but not as unapologetic. Jalia is yummy though but not instead of but alongside. Never apologize right GF?

Is angel usually blue coloured liquid

You should never be guilty for having a great taste queen . May I ask for a men repellent fragrances video I desperetly need those . I wanna drive men away from me !

Look at the juice in that obsession botttle. Sorry but the juice now is aooo much lighter. If i saw one that dark id buy it too!

Creed Vanisia if you know you know

Lou Lou... ❤ It is so beautiful and sexy.

You’re right about the World! 🌎 I think the exact same thing. No matter where we’re from! What has happened????? These perfume choices bring me back to happier times. Youth! Freedom! 🩵 Freedom 90 George Michael. ☺️💕 90’s Supermodels. Buying Vogue and Elle magazines. Flipping through the pages. No damn internet. lol

I wear love all of these fragrances and I just picked another one up it’s brand new from charlotte tilbury it’s called cosmic power it’s so deep and spicy and I alone like more sex as well if you ever get your nose on theses two new fragrances I would love to know your thoughts gabi x x x x

❤️
