I know, but I love them. They make me feel girly, happy, bubbly. It's a big deal for me because I suffer from depression. I don't know if this makes sense, but that's how I feel..🤷♀️🤷 They not only make me happy, the familiar stuff give me comfort.
Agree, fragrances have that power. Keep doing whatever makes you happy. ❤
I totally concur with the happy feeling one gets from tuberose/white floral fragrances. I, too, have severe and chronic depression, and wearing these scents do brighten my day. It’s a simple kindness you can do for yourself, even if you can’t do much else on a given day.
Same. I also have depression and perfumes just make me feel happy. Even if it's just for a few minutes it makes a difference. Also talking about them with other ppl like you guys is so much fun!
@@DanielleNicoleMakeup ♥️
@@juliettirina6829 Exactly.
I know a lot of people have been saying Prada Paradoxe is a bit unoriginal, but there's just something about it that really draws me in. I can't stop smelling it and I will probably have to buy myself a bottle in the next few days. It lasts really long on me and the projection is insane.
You're so lucky! I got it, I love the scent, but it stays on me not more than 10 minutes 😪
Me too, I am a boy and I used it last year. Now I have the intense version and My Way by Armani. Love them all
I am loving the versatility of Prada Paradoxe. It’s somehow ambery yet also fresh and transparent. The more I wear it, the more addictive I find it. I especially love how it smells about 20-30 minutes after spraying. It’s sparkling, neroli, sweet jasmine goodness. x
DAMN 💀 I love Born in Roma and I don’t get ANYTHING you mentioned, maybe like a VERY background dark fruit, but me and everyone around me smells mainly bourbon vanilla when it’s on my skin. So crazy how different our noses/body chemistry can make fragrances
That explains it. I didn’t understand why people hype it. But I don’t get the bourbon vanilla. So it must be my skin chemistry.
If I had smelled Paradoxe before Born in Roma I definitely would have bought the Paradoxe 1st. BIR is so overpowering.
I sprayed My Way on me and it was like a perfume monster awakened within me . All I wanted was to buy it. Safe to say I haven't loved a perfume like this since Coco Mademoiselle 💙
me too i love it!
Saame. And also, I’m a little surprised she didn’t include it in the bubble gum category. It smells exactly like pink bubble gums on me and I don’t mind it cause it’s very girly and fresh and long lasting.
You are so right and the way you grouped the perfumes together makes so much sense. Unfortunately none of these are my jam but I appreciate the fact that some are more well blended and better quality than others. 💕
I love born in a roma, not at all juvenile to me, just super feminine. Get the most compliments when I wear it🥰🥰. I have Libre Intense on today, it's super cozy, chic and sexy for sure. Lifts my mood in the rainy Seattle weather 🤩
Which one best libre or valentino
@@ahdashraf5912I love them both honestly. Libre intense for the cold rainy days, and born in roma for warmer weather. Both very sweet and addictive 😊
The review I was waiting for, Thank you Josefine 🙏🏻 Happy to see my two favs l’interdit and Paradoxe in your top 3 🤩
Libre Intense is my favourite of all mentioned-I agree it is for ladies who are feminine but in charge, too!
I love that you broke these all down this way!! 💕 super helpful
Born in Roma is nothing like you described! It is sophisticated bourbon vanilla😁
Facts
This was incredibly helpful. I tend to gravitate towards these type of fragrances, but there are definitely so many options. Thanks so much for this video !!
Great video! 🤩 I love the libre line! I have the le Parfum version for the sweet vanillin feel with a prominent lavender note but, really, the OG is my favourite with that heavy dose of lavender -makes it so unique and so different from all the sickly sweet white florals in the market right now. But yes, L’interdit is a classic - I mean Givenchy did it first (?) and did it very very well! Probably the only sweet white floral I’ll keep in my collection
Extremely useful video!! Great idea to compare fragrances that are in the same category and people might be wondering which one to go for. (To me the answer is always, whatever smells best to the wearer, obviously, but it's great to have some guidance in case someone is buying perfume as a gift or is very indecisive). I hope you do it for other categories in case you find enough perfumes that smell similar!
L’Interdit was my first full bottle of perfume that I bought! When I smelled it I KNEW I had to get my hands on it. It smelled familiar but also incredibly distinguished, refined, and even a little sexy! It’s my signature scent, I feel so expensive when I wear it.
Jus De Rose 🌹! Another great video as usual! I wanted you to know that you have become such a comfort youtuber for me, as silly as it sounds. Just learning about fragrance, the feeling they bring, their notes, when/where to wear them, on top of your beautiful accent brings a smile to my face any time you upload! I’m now starting to really get into fragrance, and I thank you for that! ❤🌹
Ohhh that's so incredibly kind of you to say. I feel like I've been in a bit of a content funk recently and your comment makes me smile and motivates me to create more. Thank you so much for the support ❤️❤️
I agree 100% she is so classy, feminine and comforting! Love watching her videos
This is a very helpful content since some fragrances are really similar and you do not need both. I hope this content continues for other scent profiles, too.
There is something a bit different about Prada Paradoxe that I absolutely love and can't pin it down. I think it's similar to some yes but there's just something about it that draws me in. Maybe more vanilla? Idk but I just love it over all the others. Except the new Libre Le Parfum. That one is so intoxicating and sexy. I didn't like the other flankers but this one is a bit sweeter, less lavender, and has spice. Loved this video as always! Prada and Libre are going to be in my top pics for sure
Agreed.. I didn't particularly like L'Interdit or some of the others, but Prada Paradoxe just made me immediately fall in love with it. And it seems to last so long, the projection is also really good..
I love Libre Intense. It is mesmerizing. The dry down is so good. I love it. For me it is perfect for fall & winter. ❤
Loved this video!! like to see more of these for sure! I have Libre edp and love it but I have ordered the intense!! can't wait to get it!! gorgeous line!!
I KNEWWWWW my nose wasn’t broken when I smelled Paradoxe!! It’s literally My Way!
Haha my first impression too :D
@romariosea ha ha, exactly😂
I love the note of orange blossom in a fragrance 😍🌸
Me too. Elie Saab Le Parfum is an all time favorite because of it!
this was so helpful! people always compare these fragrances, but it gets confusing, you made it very easy
I'm glad this video helped!
Prada paradoxe is my fav, I’ve tried loving libre intense but I always come back to Prada when I’m going anywhere I wanna be noticed. Love the scent so much
I have L’interdit and every time I wear it, I get sooo many compliments, same with Voce Viva because it has that warmth with the ginger.
Thanks for the great comparison video!
Love this format!
My favourites are So Scandal! and Libre Intense. I find So Scandal! quite special within the sweet tuberose scent range with its lovely rasperry milk note.
The concept for this video is aweesoooome!
Thanks to my lovely subscribers who requested, this video was created ❤️
I've smelled my way in a sample & to my surprise, I liked it & I'm planning to get for spring ! My cousin didn't like how sweet & candy like it is , I feel joyful & bright vibes smelling it, and it has a wide aura
I only recently got into white florals and I’m loving them. I ended up getting a travel spray of My Way - it’s happy, bright, and a dumb reach for daytime, but I really want to try some of the flankers for L’Interdit and Libre. You may be seeing ads for My Way everywhere but I’m seeing the fragrance community go crazy for Born in Roma - and it’s just way too sweet and vanilla for me. I got a sample of Rouge Malachite on your recommendation and adore it. I’m also loving Alien - I honestly don’t think I had ever smelled it until I looked for a sample. I’ve been collecting all kinds of sandalwoods and now all kinds of white florals.
If you like sandalwood and white florals you should try Samsara by Guerlain. 😍
I am like you with Libre Intense 🤣🤣🤣 I love both the original and the intense version... now with regards to Prada Paradox, agreed, not something unique, more like perfumery , but crows pleaser and actually is one of the most complimented fragrances i have recently worn. Thanks for this amazing list 🤩🤩
I wore Givenchy "L'Interdit" to my wedding. I love it so much. THE BEST!
Thank you for another amazing video! I love your channel and fragrance content. :) I would love it if you could do a similar video comparing some of the newer sandalwood fragrances (e.g., Ex Nihilo Santal Calling, Matiere Premiere Santal Austral) and your all-time favorite sandalwood fragrances.
me watching this video after having bought YSL Libre Intense and smiling proudly that I made a great choice. Absolutely love that perfume and it lasts a whole day on me with just like 3 sprays
I've been looking forward to this one!
Thank you for all the details ❤
Hi, nice idea. I have only Prada paradoxe and I am in love. I don't need the others 😁
this is such a good and imterestimg video! Good job!!❤❤
Super nice video as always. Thank you! 🤗
I love Libre Intense 😍. Such a good scent👍👍
I really love voce viva mixed with biblioteque from byredo!! Makes it different and way better
I don't understand why My Way its not in the bubblegummy category when it's so strong on the tuberose. Then Prada Paradoxe imo also vibes with a very similar DNA with a more variety on the white florals. I guess everyone's sense of smell is different
I ❤ Libre Intense! I have been enjoying it so much this season. I also like Paradox and My Way and I’m still debating on which one to buy.
I agree 100% with everything you have said. Don't own any of these fragrances, but the only one I can see myself possibly buying at some point is libre intense. I dont like the original Libre, but the dry down on the intense is really nice. My second pick of this list would be the Gyvenchy, but again after testing a few times, I feel like it is too generic and I personally like the rouge version of that fragrance a bit more, so that would be the one I would buy. As much as I tried, all the other fragrances mentioned are not for me. Love the concept of this video and would really like to see more videos of fragrances that are similar to each other and which one would you recommend.
I like My Way but something in it is sooo strong and overpowers everything I liked about it. I bought the travel size but won’t be upgrading. I love Prada Paradoxe. It’s everything I have been looking for in a fragrance. It’s soft, sparkling, feminine, uplifting, no sharpness, and a creamy beautiful dry down. It’s a perfect to me
Prada paradoxe intense is definitely a hidden gem!! So much better than the original
I really enjoy wearing My Way because of the Jasmin and vanilla, it becomes very nice and weirdly..kind of leathery on my skin after a few hours.
Maybe the cedarwood for the leathery smell.
My top three from this category of fragrances are: Givenchy L’Interdit (which I save for special occasions) YSL Libre Le Parfum (good for work or going to appointments, etc. It also makes an effortless transition to a night time fragrance with an additional spritz at the end of the day. And, lastly, I use Twilly by Hermes as a good daily fragrance. The addition of ginger as a top note and sandalwood in the base makes this a little more unique and less monotonous. I have all the fragrances you reviewed. But, they were kind of a “gateway drug” for me, as I have now purchased Parle moi de Parfum “Gardens of India” and “Tubereuse Imperiale” by BDK.
Would be nice to see a video from you on fav OUD feminine scents, I find it hard to find a oud fragrance that’s feminine xx
Oud Bouquet by Lancome is feminine.
I really love when u pronounced the french title of the perfume it sounds so good
She’s literally French
@@TeyanThuny i know
@@TeyanThunyshe’s from Switzerland actually
"My Way" from Armani would be a great room fragrance - I have smelled similar fragrances in hotels
Wow!! I started to get interest in perfumes after I received a sample of YSL Libre and I loved it so much, then I went perfume shopping and smelled My Way and immediately became a favorite too. Now I know why 😅
I don’t usually like to buy flankers but those libre flankers do sound so appealing. And I love that paradoxe bottle. I am sure I will try it at some point.
Some flankers are better than their original fragrances I dare say... Libre Intense for sure is fab!
@@jusderose it’s true and I do have some flankers I like. but more often than not I don’t need another similar scent profile in my collection. And so many flankers are just slight twists to the original. Even if I may like it better than the og if it serves the same purpose I don’t need it. If that makes sense. I mean I’m not a KZheadr and I don’t need 150 bottles. 🤣
@@penelopepalm you definitely don't need that many fragrances, it's way too much!
please do more of this series!
The best that I have smelled is l'Interdit. Sophisticated, but still has a bit of sexyness. Got complimented by 2 guys on the same say when wearing it. Didn't smell Libre intense yet, but the Le Parfum version was too sweet and cloying for me, after a day especially. My way Intense made me have migraines, it was like a synthetic knock-off from l'Interdit. So Cloying. Haven't tried the OG yet. Dior Infinissime I also still have to try sample is in my cupboard. Someone put it also against My way OG and l'Interdit and said it was the best of them all.
You are so right they all are kind of the same. Fortunately I like this type of DNA. My favorite is My Way Intense and Jimmy Choo I want Choo and Voce Viva. I am not a lover of Born in Roma! Thank you great video. ❤
Please consider doing a full review of the Tiziana Terenzi house. Thank you so much!
I love musky smells, the type that enhances your natural scent. Perfect for those days you don’t want to smell like anything specific (coconut, vanilla, lavender etc), but rather your skin but better. Born in Roma I consider to be on the musky side, a richer scent and not extremely sweet. Can be used for daytime and nighttime. It’s warm and you can notice the woody undertones, with the lightest touch of vanilla. It definitely blends well with your skin oils. Born in Roma and Paradoxe are my favorites, although I prefer Paradoxe. I fell in love when I tried Paradoxe, because it’s a smell all women lean towards at a certain point. We’ve smelled it in the past and we love it, but this is a different, fresher and modern take. It smells delicious, almost the reaction you get when you smell a dessert you want to eat. And trust me, men will want to eat you too lol. This is precisely the sweet smells men love, because it evoques femininity. I consider this to be well made, and it’s been a while since I smelled something this yummy. It’s floral, warm with hints of amber, a little touch of citrus, vanilla gives the “yummy” aspect and of course, the musky touch gives that natural, skin like smell. This is all I love in an everyday, signature perfume. I tested it in my arm and as soon as I entered another store, the salesgirl stopped me to ask me what perfume I was wearing cuz it smelled delicious. I said to her the name and that I have only sprayed it in my arm, she couldn’t believe it. Paradoxe and Born in Roma are my vibe, and if you’re into these kinds of smells, you’ll love them!
Love this video 🥰 Jus, do a Buying Guide of BDK, please 🙌🏻🇧🇷
love that top on you!
Out of the perfumes discussed my pick is My Way. It’s an easy grab and I love the initial fruit splash-esk-ness Didn’t get a chance to try Paradox yet.
Vanilla cream white floral is my thing ❤❤
Hallo! I just love how you review fragrances, how very accurate you are. Personally, I like L'Interdit edp a lot. I have the Millésime flanker, and I am super interested in Libre. I don't like the others mentioned, save for Prada, which is not available in my country.
Thank you ❤️
First to thank u, learned a lot about scents.i loved the libre when i got a cream samble from a magazine, had to have it. I wear it daily from work to supermarket. In wintertime i wear the burberry black 💗
Body cream
Brilliant video and review!!! So helpful and insightful. Could you please put an addendum including Voce Viva Intensa compared to the group that had Libre Intense. I find it more complex and beast mode than the original Voce Viva .
Ahh I didn't gravitate towards that one...
Good review 💕
I love the bubblegummy tuberose, I bought lately l'interdit EDT and noctural jasmine. It was love at first sniff 😍
If you like tuberose try Watch by Micallef and Fracas by Robert Piguet. 😊
I own L'Interdit Noctornal Jasmine version and it's divine.. So is YSL libre.. both of which I love wearing.. I completely agree with you. Lovely video and very different form of classification... a thumbs 👍. Can I request a similar office set up with different settings 😀
Ohhh I need to try noctornal jasmine! Per your request - what kind of office set ups should I look into? Gimme some inspo!
@@jusderose For office setting.. like daily work lets say IT company or any formal corporate set up. which means its temperature controlled environment. Maybe some meeting at office or meetings which may require a short/long distance travel.. with different work wear. Weather conditions like summer and rainy days etc.. I'm now eager to learn your suggestions. 😇
I love Libre Intense!!!
L'interdit is my favorite out of those and I like Born in Roma.
For me Valentino Voce Viva and Libre intense really share the same DNA when i tried it on my skin instantly the scent took me to Voce Viva, Like them both♥️
Great video!!! Could you make one video including Voce viva intensa 🙏🏻
Definitely L’interdit for me is the best, is special and different en mi colección.
Which one would be a better pick between givenchy l'interdit edp & dior j'adore edp ? Suggest pls
L'interdit smells great but it disappears in a few hours on me. Disappointing longevity to say the least. YSL Libre is my current absolute favorite scent, so I'm excited to hear the rave reviews for the flanker. Might have to grab a bottle of Intense.
Hi , very good video. I have to say that i love Armani My Way on my GF. It's so good. We all have a different taste and i it's okay . I have Tom Ford Ombre Leather EDP , but i never try Perfume version. Which one you prefer ? EPD is good , but could be lil bit stronger with projection and longevity. Is Perdume is stronger or just deeper etc...? Thank you so much , and i am waiting for you're next video. 🌹🍷
Prada lasts on me all day/night and projects really well. I’d actually be careful with the amount of sprays I wear as I think it can become a bit much
I just love this video Josephine! It’s sooo helpful especially for us beginners that are constantly overwhelmed by the endless options! Thank you so much for making this and looking forward to the next one on the series. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You're so welcome ❤️
For me, personally, L’Interdit is more easy going from Paradoxe. Probably because I’m living in a tropical country? Paradoxe’s candy scent smells stronger and is too sweet for day time while L’Interdit just smells like fresh flowers, perfect for day time ❤️ Paradoxe is more appropriate for a night time fragrance, here in my place 😊
LIBRE INTENSE sweet , the only sweet but not generic, original and sophisticated iat teh same time !
Wow, I'm so glad someone said it! And I'm happy I don't own any of these 😆
Thank you sooooooo much That the video I needed
I love Prada Paradoxe and it lasts about 8 hours on my skin..I guess it's just skin chemistry and if you moisturize before applying any fragrance
I really want to like YSL Libre. However I’m a beginner just starting my collection and I feel like I have a beginner nose as well. It has changed alot (for instance I used to despise patchouli and now I don’t mind it). But I find myself really enjoying Voce Viva. It’s easier on my nose than Libre and maybe it’s my gateway into appreciating Libre more!
try Le Parfum formula. It's the smoothest of the bunch.
My girlfriend doesn't wear perfumes but she found Libre Intense and loves it
Also L’interdit is the only one that find very very addictive and yummy! Haha such a fan!
Mon Guerlain fits also in this range in my oppinion sometime all of them a little bit too sweet, but I adore Donna born in Roma coral fantasy, an uplifting scent
Yes coral fantasy is an amazing scent that makes me happy ❤🥰
I couldn’t agree with you any more. Glad that you did this video 😊
Thank you Charlene ❤️
I love all these feminine elegant fragrances, unfortunately they don’t like me at all. They all go musty, dusty and sour on my skin. I’ve tested most of these except for My Way and Paradox, but I’m almost certain that I would have the same experience. They always smell gorgeous on everyone else and I wish that I could wear them.
As I man, I really enjoy this fragrance style on woman. I have purchased some of these as gifts. My favorites from your list are Givenchy and YSL Libre. I recently smelled a sample of Memo Paris Marfa and super WOW!! I think you have mentioned it in the past. Any thoughts? I am thinking of it as a special gift for someone :)
Upgraded white floral, not bubblegummy tuberouse, super well blended. Wish it lasted and projected the same as Libre Intense. At least on my skin, also I tested a sample. Chef Kiss. Nothing groundbreaking but it doesn't need to. It will die in the coldest climates though... but nevertheless a solid signature scent
Marfa is a stunning tuberose. I'd say in a different league and more challenging than the ones I mentioned but a solid one to get from Memo. And the bottle... it's stunning!
Omg, finally someone said it 😅! And where are the purple flowers gone?
I have the discovery set of Libre and love them all ❤ and I agree with another commenter about Prada Paradoxe. It has something special. I love Prada fragrances. I will probably get a travel spray of it to test it out. The others you mentioned all seem very generic to me. Not interested in any of them. 😊
I don’t think they are the same. I dislike Libre Intense a bit but I kind of like The new Parfum when I smelled it on the tester strip. Actually Valentino Voce Viva smells quite similar to it.. I actually have that one- guilty pleasure. My Way is very likable to me.. But I don’t really need it I have so many great niche and exclusive ones:-). Wearing Le Lion today and Gris Charnel yesterday:-)
I trust you on this. Thank you ….this doesn’t get said much at all.
there’s something about the dna of libre that i cannot get behind, so many people praise it and i just can’t help but thinking it smells like cleaning supplies, libre intense IS better, it smells less chemical but i’m not drawn to it
my way intense by armani is def my favourite with libre coming after. i loved the valentino when i was much younger but i do find it a bit juvenile now.
I need a list of perfumes with NO black currant I despise that not as well as oak moss ha but I love my way (on occasion I love the bubble gum )
I disagree about born in Roma. Yes, it is very sweet and maybe for a younger audience but I love it on me. It just works. My way I tried several times but it is so boring. Like nothing special. Nice but forgettable.
If it works for you that's wonderful! :)
I have a sample of Armani my way intense and it smells exactly like Dior j'adore infinissime. I have a rollerball of this and it's one of my favourite Perfumes. I am curious to see how Prada Paradoxe smells like.
Prada my way and born in roma all perfumes are compliment getter for sure
