 Hello fellow fragrance lovers. I have another huge unboxing today from Nortino, a place that's becoming quite a favorite of mine to buy from. So I have several perfumes that I ordered from the gray line. So I hope you see back and enjoy. So we're gonna start off with unboxing them and then we do a first impressions. Hello so I have these perfumes and we're just gonna try them out and see how we get on with this. So I thought I'd just give you a brief history as to why I ended up getting this one. So number one, notes from Josephine mentioned it on her channel and she had lovely things to say about it. Number two, I have at least four other Rihanna perfumes and they have been gorgeous. I have loved them. I kind of feel like so far I've had a good streak with Rihanna perfumes. Number three, I really like the color of the juice. It's this light bluey color. So I'm looking at it. I'm thinking spring. I'm thinking summer. I'm thinking aquatic. So I thought yeah I'm going to add this to my collection for the price point as well. That's kind of like the price point that I like to hang around. Okay so with this one the top notes are supposed to be plum, frizia and neroli. The middle notes are gardenia, peony and orange blossom. I am partial to orange blossom. I love orange blossom in in a fragrance. It's just so lovely and fresh and vibrant but also lovely and soft and sensual. The base notes are cashmere wood, ambergris, vanilla and seda. Yeah I think. So we're going to try this out and see what this is going to be like. So the bottle is it's all right. I think it's it's fine and I'll let's see if the atomizer performs really well. Hello. I got some alcohol. Gah. Okay. That pinched my nose there. Okay. Let it breathe for a bit. Mmm safe. That's the first word that I think of safe but in a good way. I think that it's quite inoffensive. It's fruity. It's floral. I'm getting the neroli and the orange blossom are coming through. It's beautifully light and subtle. I'm picturing I'm picturing islands, sand, sea. Do you know this is the first perfume that's actually made me feel like I want to wear a bikini and just fire it all over me. I think I like it. I can see myself wearing this every day in summer like just like as a day-aware thing in summer. Got a little helper over here. It definitely for me it's got the aquatic vibe going but it's also quite sweet as well. Mmm. Yeah. I like it. Kissed by Rihanna. Okay. So this one is called Julvien by Santini Cosmetics. Now the only reason I bought this was because they had a special offer on Nortino whereby if you bought this fragrance you got free delivery free postage and packaging and normally their delivery is £3.99 which is £4 and this one was £7 I think or it was £6.50. So I thought you know what I'm just going to buy the fragrance and get the free P&P instead. So yeah, that's how it worked out. The bottle is really cheap. You can tell that the print is sort of like coming off and it feels like if you scratch it it will come off. But yeah, let me just... Okay. So I just thought that the worst that could happen is I'd be able to use this as air freshener if it doesn't work out. Oh, the atomizer is terrible. I didn't feel like the atomizer worked really well there. Bug spray. Citronella bug spray. I'm reminded of when we were camping in Italy by Lake Maggiore and there was just so many mosquitoes. We ended up having to buy loads of Citronella and loads of bug spray and loads of these little bands that are supposed to be mosquito repellent. Got someone in my mouth. And yeah, that's what I'm getting from this. This was a prize for free postage and packaging. I don't know what I'm going to do with this. I'll probably use this as a toilet air freshener or something like that. Okay. Okay, so the next one that we have is gray kabocha, which I bought because I really liked the gray gold, which I bought about a month ago and I love it so much. It's a beautiful, a full-bodied fragrance that makes me feel like such a lady and it's such an uplifting fragrance and my husband really loved it. So I thought I would try this one because the gray gold is a auto toilet so it doesn't last as long on me. Probably lasts about five hours or so. And I read about this, which is supposed to be the classic gray fragrance and it's an EDP. It was reasonably priced and so I thought that I would try this. This is supposed to be a leather fragrance so this is my first time with the leather fragrance. It also has alder hides in the top notes. I haven't come across alder hides yet so I have no idea what to expect from that. And in terms of the base notes it's also got tobacco, which I really like in a fragrance. So far the tobacco fragrances that I have tried have absolutely loved them. It also has sage in the top notes, which had me a little bit worried initially but my experience with Stash, sorry Jessica Parker, that's got sage in it but it was beautiful. So I'm just gonna try this out and I know that this is considered old-fashioned but for me because I'm new to perfumes I don't see a lot of these perfumes as old-fashioned because I smelled them in the 80s or the 90s or the 90s. Everything is still new to me so I'm quite excited to try this. Okay, I'm just gonna spray that. Oh nice atomizer, really good control on that. Oh it's pretty sharp. Quite unique, quite different. I mean for the price range. Normally I've been into fruity florals or gummones but this is lovely. This does not smell sweet at all. I'm getting the spices. I think I now know what aldehyde smells like. It's like this clean freshness to them. Almost like a really nice detergent, like a really nice laundry detergent. Those middle notes are beginning to come through so I'm getting a very relaxed feel. A little bit of rose. I can definitely get why this is a leather sheep. But yeah I could get down with this. I could get down with this. I think I would probably wear this if I was going to like a serious meeting and I wanted it to be very chic but approachable but at the same time not be girly because I've tended to like more girlier fragrances but this one definitely, this doesn't smell girly girly. This is very much I'm a woman. I am here as a woman and I am a serious woman and I am very chic and I am very elegant. I don't think I could wear this with my hair down. I feel like I'd always have my hair pinned up but yeah I like it. I also think that the bottle is really cute with the rose. I will report back on assayage and longevity and performance but yeah great addition. So I went down a gray rabbit hole and I also decided to get the Madame Grey. This was on a special offer so I think I got this for like about 11 pounds which was pretty awesome. So let's try this. So this lovely tall bottle here, this tall elegant looking bottle is Madame Grey by Grey and it's an auto parfum so it's supposed to be nice and strong. So what attracted me to this is it's got pineapple as a top note and I love pineapple. It's also got cadmium. I love cadmium. I use cadmium a lot in my cooking and preserving and it's also got grapefruit so I'm expecting some freshness in that opening burst of fragrance when you first smell it and for the middle notes it's got a frisier peony and magnolia. So far my experience is with frisier in perfumes has been quite lovely. It seems to just lift them up to something. I can I never am able to pick out peony. I can never pick out peony. Yeah magnolia has been okay. The base notes it's three of my favorite vanilla, patchouli and sandalwood. I like those in so some of the perfumes that are my favorite perfumes they've got that but this one's also got leather. So I'm kind of familiar with the leather from here so we're gonna see how this smells. Okay it's got the same sharpness at the bottle is. Let's see. Okay good. Oh there's a sweet, sweet flowers and like say the the kabocha. See this is more the territory that I kind of hang out in that I'm sort of used to. Pineapple is strong. Definitely getting that strong pineapple. You know the pineapple that's just a little bit too ripe and it's soft and squeegee and it's got some brown spots on it. That's there. I'm not getting any grapefruit. I'm not getting that sourness that I expect from grapefruit. So for me cardamom should have like a certain warm earthiness to it with an orangey vibe but I'm kind of not getting it. The pineapple is really really strong but I like it. I like it. It's quite nice to actually buy the perfume and actually get the note that I was expecting. Sandalwood and vanilla also coming through. Okay the leather is right at the bottom for me so I feel like sandalwood, vanilla then leather. I'm not getting the patchouli so much now but with me patchouli tends to really come out a few hours later on my skin. So yeah no this this is good so I can see myself wearing this even say like if I'm going going on date night with my husband like this could work for that. I'm not sure I'd use this for winter though. I sort of feel like maybe for fall possibly spring time is all because of the pineapple but it's not so light that I feel like this is a summer fragrance for me. I'm not going like oh summer so the pineapple is definitely strong. So some of the woodiness is beginning to come through but yeah it's lovely and it's elegant. I'll definitely be wearing this in spring. I feel like this could work definitely in spring. Lovely addition. I also really like the bottle. I think that the bottle has got some very art deco-y vibes to it. So it's a vintage style. Okay and so I also ordered Cabardin de Gré or the Toilette and it's green of which my kids have called this the broccoli top thing when they've seen me browsing looking at perfumes. So I think that this is the sister or flanker to the gray gold that I have. So because it's green I'm expecting this to have very earthy herbal aromatic kind of fragrance to it. So this is my first green one actually. So let's have a look. I love how this bottle feels in my hands. It's got such a it's just got such a lovely shape that you can get a nice grip of and use it just like that. It was a really beautiful bottle design. Ooh! Very sharp. I'm getting some powder. Some powdery underneath underneath the aromas at the top. Herbs. What are herbs am I getting? So this is very this very green. Very herbal-y I would say. The top notes are supposed to be coriander, orange blossom, blackcurrant, cassia plum, tangerine and peach. I honestly can't say that I'm getting any peach at all here. The middle notes are tuberose, hyacinth, carnation, ginger, jasmine, ilan, ilan, frizzier rose, iris, heliotrope and violet. I'm getting hyacinth definitely. The hyacinth is what's popping out the most at me and a little bit of carnation. So floral. I'm getting a lot of florals. Just a hint of ginger. Just a hint. The base notes are vetiver, civet, blackcurrant, masque, sandalwood, amber, sedder again. Tonka bean, vanilla. I'm not getting any vanilla. I mean it's got a lot going on for it to say it's an auto-toilet. I'm quite keen to try this on my skin and see which of these note profiles are going to work better with my skin and what my skin is going to retain and amplify. I hope it's not the tuberose because sometimes I do find tuberose. It's just too sweet for me. But this has got a lovely warmth to it. I'm quite grounded. I can definitely see myself wearing this in spring. Yeah, wearing this in spring. What sort of outfit would I wear with this? I don't know. Probably if I'm wearing a separas like a skirt and a simple t-shirt top with a cardigan all over the top. Yeah. So that's gray. So out of the three gray ones that I got, I definitely liked this a lot better but that's because I tend towards fruity florals and this has a strong pineapple note that I picked up as a top note. Although I know that when I actually wear it on my skin it's very unlikely that the pineapple is going to stay on there given that it is a top note but I liked what I smelled with this one. This one is probably the second best and very close second. But yeah, lovely, lovely collection. So I don't think I'm going to be buying any more perfume for a while now. This is probably going to be my last hole for a bit so that I can actually get to terms with the perfumes that I have. Although actually no, I do need some summer perfume so I forget it. Anyway, thank you so much for watching. Please subscribe and I will see you in my next video with more perfuming madness. Oh by the way my scent of the day today is Mongolain Intense. It's been on me for about seven hours now and it's just like at this very creamy, sultry stage. I just I love it. Each time I'm just catching a waft of it as I'm walking around. I just have this smile on my face and I don't what I like about Mongolain Intense is that it lasts so long on me. I don't I don't have to constantly put my nose to risk to get it. It's still wafting up without me having to look for it. It's still there and I like it when a perfume does that. It was definitely worth it now for that. Anyway, thank you so much for watching. Bye.
