What is oud wood? Oud is a resin produced by the Indonesian Agarwood tree when it is infected by fungus. The resin is an immune response that permeates the wood and creates a complex leathery/sour/woody/salty/ambery-smelling substance used in traditional Arab perfumes and eastern incenses. Oud is an increasingly popular ingredient in western-style fragrances.
What is attar? Attar is the Arabic word for fragrance, and is traditional form of perfume made from distilled florals and resins.

Very lovely … Very lovely collection
@pathu32 Well, as … @pathu32 Well, as you know, the same juice is in the tester bottles as in the "real" ones, so you're sorted out!
@r0bdigz A lovely … @r0bdigz A lovely compliment, Rob. Thank you!
@KatiePuckrikSmells @KatiePuckrikSmells
Amazing video as … Amazing video as usual, Katie! You describe your perfumes so beautifully that I really feel like having them all, lol. I think I'm going to get Tea Rose as you like it very much. I'm think I'm going to love it, besides it's quite cheap.
Katie, you're the best. I'm looking forward to seeing the next video.
@KatiePuckrikSmells … @KatiePuckrikSmells Thanks for the clarification. I love your reviews and perfumes of course!
As one of the … As one of the founders of the Youtube fragrance community, you never cease to amaze me. You charm and your collection are equally impressive.
@ … @livegorgeouslygreen The scent-blending post is up on my blog now.
@hilaphant Well … @hilaphant Well that just sounds incredible! Where is it available?
@Magstastic Great! @Magstastic Great!
@princesslyndi Well … @princesslyndi Well, I'm not a dyed-in-the-wood gourmand fan, but the more encounter them and review them, the more I can see their appeal.
What about Dior Hypnotic Poison for vanilla/almond?
@exotique71 Oy! … @exotique71 Oy! Well, it depends on how powerful your curiosity is, and it will be different to any perfume you've ever smelled. I wonder if ThePerfumedCourt offer samples any cheaper? Or if anyone on MakeUpAlley or Basenotes or PerfumeofLife are willing to share a bit of theirs…
@1marielvis Heavens … @1marielvis Heavens no! I was making a jest about acquisitional natures. Thanks for catching that and allowing me to clarify.
Hi Katie,
These … Hi Katie,
These collection vids are amazing, it's so nice to see you talking about your scents in an impromptu and candid way! I get a sense for your fabulous personality.
You recently helped me find some church incense frags to try. Now, I am completely intrigued by your description of Amouage Homage, however a sample on LS is going for 10 dollars for 1/5 of a sample vial (.08 mL)… worth it? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for sharing your talents with us!
I'll totally check … I'll totally check out the Comme de Garcon incense line! Do you recommend any gormond (sp?) fragrances? I love the Comptoir sud pacifique perfumes, but they are expensive and don't last at all. I love vanilla and almond smells, but I want an expensive smelling, and long lasting 'comfort' scent. I know those are the opposite of fragrances you love. But I trust your opinion so much : )
Still loving this … Still loving this series.
Did you just … Did you just compare orphan children with perfumes?
@KatiePuckrikSmells … @KatiePuckrikSmells Thank you Katie you are a star, I have put the perfume on my wish list and will get the oil first to see if I will like it, thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me :0) xxxJoolsxxx
tnx,for the advice … tnx,for the advice Katie xoxox
LOVE Aveda Love … LOVE Aveda Love perfume!
My uncle lives in the UK and since I can't go there all the time he sends me all kinds of tester perfumes…I have quite a large collection of just testers LOL
Hey Katie, I've … Hey Katie, I've noticed you really like the Arab style scents which I also love. Also knowing that you don't pay attention to gender of scents I wanted to suggest to you Angel Schlesser Oriental Edition II. The fragrance notes feature bergamot, galbanum, grassy notes, wild lavender, cedar, sandalwood, vetiver and patchouli. It is so warm and almost edible – kind of like tradition attar mixed with marshmallows. Check it out!
@makeupcreator I … @makeupcreator I find Cardinal a little dry and austere for my personal taste, but it is very nice.
@PrettyRetro Try … @PrettyRetro Try Burberry Classic, the original Badgely Mischka, Lolita Lempicka L and Hermès Elixir des Merveilles.
@TrueTydin I've … @TrueTydin I've overhead people talking about that at perfume shops (other customers), but I don't know anything about it. It sounds a little urban-myth-ish. I'll ask my "smell scientist" buddy, Dr Avery Gilbert.
@GloriousNonsense … @GloriousNonsense Thanks! Agent Provocateur is such a glamorous sexy one, and I really like Miller Harris Un Petit Rien for a quieter sexy one.
Perfumer's Workshop Tea Rose and Montale White Aoud are my rose picks.
For lilac, try Miller Harris Coeur dété
