WAVECHILD | ROOM 1015 | Surfing or Eating Lollies?
Wavechild by Room 1015 has many of us in a chokehold - hopefully not because we’re surfing and eating at the same time! (Don’t do that.)
Join me and Andres and Matisse as we sniff our way through this pretty fresh concoction, and let me know your thoughts 😍

5 HOME TRUTHS about wearing fragrance when I’m sick.
Переглядів 4322 місяці тому
Wearing fragrance when you’re down for the count is an ‘interactive’ experience that you never know how it’s going to go till you’re there 🤢💨💨💨 This is hopefully the only video you’ll watch today where you hear the work ‘mucous’. If that hasn’t put you off and you don’t mind some real talk, I hope you enjoy this one 🥰 Please like this if you like this and ponder subscribing because you know you...
Shooting the fragrance sh*t with Andres.

Andres and I run a local group for fragrance lovers and we make quick Facebook videos promoting it every month. Here’s a quick, raw, unedited video that I thought would be fun to post here. I’m getting over the flu so I haven’t done any filming lately but I’m on the up! Today we talk about the next fragrance meetup, blind buying, Jeremy, and our upcoming trip to ScentXplore in December. Thanks ...
Why NEW Chanel Comete Les Exclusifs is worth the price tag.
Переглядів 2753 місяці тому
Comete by Chanel Les Exclusifs is making a splash, and, according to some, is worth the price tag! Andres works in the perfume industry and is a passionate consumer and collector of all kinds of fragrances - from vintage to this latest acquisition, ‘Comete’. Enjoy hearing Andres’ interpretation of Comete, and why it's his first 200ml Les Exclusifs purchase. My Socials: * Instagram/karentaylorsm...

Time for some real talk about how many fragrances you need. I work as a Brand Ambassador for fragrance companies launching new fragrances, and I work on fragrance counters at some department stores where I live. Not only do I love to spend time with people looking for their next perfumed love, but I collect and review fragrances, and spend as much time as possible with other frag-heads. I'm sli...
Room 1015 Cherry Punk Is The Best Cherry Fragrance I've Smelled
Переглядів 1444 місяці тому
Cherry Punk by Room 1015 is my favourite cherry perfume - and I don’t usually like cherry forward scents. This is a first impression of Cherry Punk for me, courtesy of my friend Andres who brought it for me to try.

Thank you for tuning in for this life update! I'm talking about You Tube, a new job, the joys of applying for fifty million jobs like the universe really has to give you one after that. A perfume spritzing gig where they pay me to spray as many humans as possible within a given shift at my local fragrance counter. And a freaky eye problem that is luckily going away now.

AFFORDABLE FRAGRANCES IN MY COLLECTION PART 2 | BECAUSE SMELLING GOOD DOESN'T HAVE TO COST $$$
Переглядів 8555 місяців тому
Part 2 of my Affordable Fragrances In My Collection series of, well, 2 videos. These are all part of my fragrance rotation and I love them heaps, both for their scent as well as being the right price! Affordable fragrances are such fun to buy and wear, and for that reason I particularly enjoy buying citruses in this price range. The longevity isn't always huge with citruses, so if they're affor...
AFFORDABLE FRAGRANCES IN MY COLLECTION | PART 1 OF 2 | CHEAP & CHEERFUL PERFUMES I STILL LOVE
Переглядів 5505 місяців тому
Affordable fragrances are essential to any collection, and here are mine! This is part 1 of the perfumes I call ‘affordable’, so be sure to check out part 2. I’ve got 12 (not 11) that I strictly put into this category as I haven’t included clones or Middle Eastern perfumes; both of which don't necessarily meet my ‘affordable’ definition. I hope you enjoy this spontaneous video that I’ve wanted ...

Great video! One suggestion I’d give to help your videos get more exposure is to experiment with adding a few more relevant keywords in your tags and description. This can help improve visibility in search results. Let me know if you’d like more suggestions, I’d be happy to help!
I saw your channel uploaded many videos but the subscriber are very less and the views are less, no title, no tag, no thumbnail . if you want to increase channel and video views i can help. thank you
It’s actually caraway , Fragrantica has it listed as cumin
8 is the goal 😊
I can recommend D’annam Vietnamese Coffee as a beautiful coffee perfume.
@@Blondie77128 amazing thank you so much ☕️ what do you love about it? I’ll look it up 💞
Good show. I just bought boots and one is too tight. Will try.
@@French_Connection good luck my friend you got this - it will work xx 🔥
I think eau de toilette don't last very long but that's okay I soak myself in it and smell it all day long
@@pepper1188 I’m with you 💯🥰
That’s a remarkable review 😊
@@AMaudeThing we really appreciate you saying so 😘
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
@@AMaudeThing thank you for watching 💞xx
I’d like to add a skin scent to my collection. This, as well as Another 13 from Le Labo are top considerations. Have you tried that and if so, how do they compare?
@@nathanielmoody3656 you are so asking the right person 💫 in my latest video I mention Another 13 is my current fave niche fragrance I LOVE it 🥰 they are both so different .. Peau is mineralic and has a super clean feel like a sexy robot whereas I’ve heard Olivia Olfactory say Anothet 13 is a real signature scent for her and smells like ‘the pheromones of a sexy hot person’. Great fragrances to consider - go with the one that makes you feel the most special I reckon !
I only wear roll on when under the weather 🤣🤣🤣 i need to lock in and make sure I wear fragrances when sick!!
@@Jordyphysique gotta keep up your dent schedule man 😄
My go to fragrance when I'm sick is Heeley Esprit du Tigre. It's a medicinal scent that is similar to tiger balm. I also like Frederic Malle French Lover.
@@timothys9288 oh I’m going to look that up 💞 and French Lover is so so gorgeous .. I am getting a sense of this right now in our ‘unwell setting’ .. what an incredible creation this is. Thanks for sharing this this comment section is golden 💫💫💫
Last year I was diagnosed with liver cancer and had a massive tumor removed. When I was recovering in the hospital, I demanded a few fragrances be by my side at all times and it really lifted my spirits. I oversprayed the hell out of them. The nurses were probably bothered but were kind enough to lie to me when asked 😂
@@evaneugenescott I love your spirit dude - what an inspirational story 💞 I hope you are on the mend and onward and upward! I doubt the nurses were bothered - there’s not a lot of pleasant smells in hospitals so it would have been a delight to come into your room I’m sure 💫 I’m so glad that fragrances brought you joy at that time 🥰
All is good now-thank you! Keep up with the videos.
🤗Hi! My go to for sick days 🤧🤒🤮 are definitely Vicks vapo rub and eucalyptus rosemary lemon essential oils only. I don’t want to associate my lovely perfumes with feeling ill. 😉
@@veronican9110 I hear ya and agree ! We are dicing with trouble reaching for the frags in these tumultuous times 😅xx
Hilarious take on fragrances for the unwell, When dealing with pain, I reach for the sweetest, heaviest gourmands. With viruses I huff my Vicks Vaporub and Light Blue combo. Glad you're on the mend!
@@mayaluna11 I love the Vicks Vaporub and Light Blue layering combo 🤣 yes the sweetest heaviest gourmands sound like the way to go .. what are some of your go to’s in these situations ? 💞
First here! 🎉
Taking it back, i just used it today and taught the same thing
@@nicoleblacknall7451 yeah she’s not a cheapie !! 😊
Gosh I like this perfume 😢10-20 sprays on the hair and skin doesn’t help?
@@SCLana I love it too and got the biggest bottle I could find 😍 I was just having fun with the ‘WS&SS doesn’t last’ because it doesn’t have great longevity - so I spray a lot and don’t care 💨💨💨 so unique too - home run creation ! ⚾️🏟️glad you love it too 💞
This is so sad all this cuz in 2024 they can’t make a boot with a zipper that goes up n us woman got do this
@@Lynn67mama preach it Sis, I hear ya! 😝💞
When you buy italian boots, they don't fit on the calf even if they have zippers :D
Yes! Do a top 10!
Too many sounds. They are quite distracting.
@@jazmincancio6456 oh sorry about that I think I got carried away (!) xx thanks for watching
Just discovered your page and I love the pair of you!! Comete is my new fav, I have the 1st batch and a backup of the next batch number. Also, TF black orchid for sure is in my Top 6!! Iris, Lily of the valley and patchouli are my favs.
@@_TANBEE thank you so much, Andres is a lot of fun to listen to he’s soooo passionate about Comete it’s his new big love💥 you’re a true fan for sure having a backup of the next batch number💞 Black Orchid is so unique, in a class of its own and I’m sad for everyone who doesn’t get it 🤣 (happy for us cos less people wearing it!!) xx love your faves.. iris is so sophisticated 💫💫💫

I would love to be there darling ❤️❤️❤️

Jeremy fragrance is making extremely clickbaity videos these days, his content a couple years ago was awesome. Super contreversial guy but I have followed him for years now. Super charismatic
@@Jordyphysique for sure he was a dancer in a boy band or something and is a bit good looking.
“What are the deets?” “The deets?” 🤣🤣
@@Jordyphysique probably my Kiwi accent sounded like ‘dates’ or something else random 😄 Andres does well with my randomness 🥳🥳🥳
Hi there! I think Comète is wonderful. I had no hesitation to buy a full bottle (the smaller) once I tried the tiny sample spray. Your description of it as “paradoxical” is perfect, I think! I so enjoyed your review and have subscribed. ❤ (I’m 72 and have worn Chanel perfumes since I was 17, so the “granny” characterization is just silly to me.)
@@BlueHorseStitchers awesome thank you for your lovely comment 💞 Andres is so incredible with his descriptions - he’s a Chanel fan through and through! You’re so right about the whole granny thing .. I know twenty-somethings that wear Chanel 💫 thank you for subbing - I’m trying to get my voice fully back after one of these lurgy things that have been going around this winter so see you soon 😘
@@karentaylorsmells Happy to be here!
I’m another NZ fraghead! I’d love to review but am very shy on camera hahaha. Good on you for doing your thang! I’ve subscribed ❤
@@tracyjensen8095 hey Tracy thank you so much 💞 are you on any of the NZ Fragrance Facebook sites? I belong to the 2 main ones … hey we all start shy on camera so you don’t have to rule it out forever 🥰 so happy to meet you here, I’m still recovering from one of the 200+ winter viruses going around so just laryngitis stopping me from filming my next video now lol xx thanks again for subbing 🙌
I wear Lataffa Musamam Intense! ✨💕⚡
@@TheLadyAlchemyChannel that is off the charts💫 💥 💐what does it smell like?
@@karentaylorsmells very aromatic which I love. I only purchased it for the snake emblem feature as it matched my bangle, then I grew to enjoy it. 👌✨💕👒
@@TheLadyAlchemyChannel omg it’s a stunning bottle 🤩 I can’t wait to smell this.. I’m going to Scent Xplore in New York in December so hope to find lots of fragrances to smell that aren’t sold here in New Zealand. If you know any fragrance stores to visit in NY I’m all ears 🦻🦻😄
@@karentaylorsmells how superb!✨✨✨✨ The most lucrative thing is to travel with scent inspired excitement! Whether business or personal ( love both) 💕 Shall do, and hello from Australia!
damn, haven't heard of a good chunk of these. I really enjoyed Bianco Latte, definitely have had my eye on Gris charnel for sampling, own and wear Musc Ravageur a lot. Not sure if you've tried Uden but it has a coffee note. Happy to bring it to the next meet if you want to try it. -Trav
@@oTEMPE5To yo Travis 🤜🏽💥🤛🏽 it was awesome to meet you thanks again for making the trek over the hill! Thank you for watching this 🙏🏽 and no, haven’t tried Uden would love to try it when you’re next in town 🥳💫
❤❤ happy to have found you
@@rouzellecoetzee4890 I’m so happy you’re here 🙏🏽 thanks for watching and see you again soon 🥰xx
You've introduced me to a whole world of fragrance I never knew existed or thought I could possible be interested in. Bought my first cologne in 30 years because of it.
@@DuncanJimmy the enigmatic Obsession by Calvin Klein is a masterpiece and was a game changer. Is still selling like lemonade on a hot day, I personally have fond (and no so fond lol) memories of my boss at the clothing store I worked at, who wore it. As a still-teenager I used to marvel at the way he would liberally spray it over himself unselfconsciously a couple times a day. Time stood still in these moments it was like I was a child 😄 he rocked it, as do you 💫 stunning fragrance!
Yay! Our favorite team is back!
@@DuncanJimmy that’s right 💫 thanks for watching 🙏🏽
I LOVE Xtra Milk. I just wish it had more silage to it. I’m gonna have try Taunt now. Thank you for the review. 🥰
@@tiffanyappel4083 I agree x thanks for watching and yeah hunt out Taunt for a sniff 🤩
❤❤❤
@@gabriellabalsano thank you Gabriella😘x
Love Coco. I remember how much of a beast the parfum was back in the day and so intense I couldn't wear it but stumbled on the EDT and love it.
Nice to stumble upon your channel. Fun watching your vids. I wish I could keep to a couple of fragrances in my life but I just keep finding more that I love. lol :)
@@AnneMelb2010 thank you 🙏🏽 falling for new fragrances is equal parts pleasure and pain, right?! 😆 xx thank you for watching 🥰
Love the idea of Pure Grace that’s clever. Also a fruity golden shoulder pad!! x
@@zjouephoto9723 indeed !!! 😁
I’m going Dior Homme Intense for everyday I think - love the vid and the overspray advocacy haha! Bianco Latte and JPG Le Male right up the top too! Sound is wxcccelellent x
@@zjouephoto9723 this is the Oversprayers Support Group supporting each other to keep oversoraying 🤩 Dior Homme Intense is a masterpiece 💫
I really enjoyed wearing sheer beauty. Im considering buying another bottle.
@@yayana.748 I think it’s a truly underrated gem💞 totally juicy and fresh and floral all at the same time 💫
When i first purchased Reble fluer, I thought I had made mistake, but after a few months….I fell in love with it. I will definitely purchase a back up bottle.
@@yayana.748 nothing else smells like it, and it seems a perfect rendition of Rihanna designing a fragrance going back to her roots 💞 can be a little synthetic at the very start but it’s a party in a bottle 💫
you are gorgeous! i LOVE your aesthetics!
Thank you so much ❤ you are so kind x
I like your style and the way you speak. Your descriptions are impeccable. I hope to see more of you.
@@melissawoods610 thank you Melissa 🙏🏽 I appreciate you so much I’ve been trying to relax up and just be me a bit more - God help us all🤣 x and just like Arnold, “I’ll be back!”💞
Great Video!! Tehe I'm well and truly down the niche perfumes rabbit hole. Delina exclusif is AMAZING! I just got a sample of Meliora from pdm and that's super nice too. I was watching your video saying got that, got that, got that, don't have that (takes a screen shot 🤣) I don't buy full bottles because I can't afford that but I'm loving travel sprays. Its more affordable and means i can sniff all the smells 🥰🥰 do you have any tips on making scents last longer? I love a couple from byredo but after 10 mins I can't smell them anymore ☹️
Travel sprays are brilliant 🎉 I agree, everything seems and is pretty unaffordable these days 😢 I’m dying to smell Ms. Delina Exclusif 🩷 tips for longer lasting - use some unscented body lotion or moisturiser, let that dry, then apply your fragrance. OMG Byredo just flies off the skin like the clear watery liquid we see in the bottle lol xx
personally i love the sound effects you added, gives a nice sensory touch and really helps us get an idea of the vibe os the scent.
@@kx175 🥰thanks so much I was just having fun thinking I personally would enjoy an occasional fragrance video like this xx thanks again. It’s probably my most personal video yet so I thought to push everything else a little too 💞
Great subject, the sound effects are a bit off putting.
