I’m so happy you’re constantly promoting that people should be taking a shower/bath. I didn’t think at this point, in this era, we’d have to encourage people to do this but, alas we’re here!!! How can one spend so much on these fragrances and not bathe first?? It’s just beyond me, but please, please wash your bodies, thoroughly. We the bystanders, thank you! 🙏🏽
I had a sales person tell me they had the best perfume ever and sprayed missing person on me. I literally smelled nothing. Zero, that person is definitely missing. She gone!😂😂😂😂
@@AnneLauren I said I couldn't smell a thing, and she sprayed it again and was absolutely dumfounded that I couldn't smell anything. I think she might have thought I disliked it because she said it was her favorite and I was finding a way to be polite. She wasn't convinced. 🤣
@@BLARG09 😅 I struggle with what to say sometimes to sales associates, I'm so picky and I feel like they get low key annoyed when I'm not loving anything haha
I returned Cloud pink so fast. The sales associate said it was the most returned perfume they had sold since she started working there 3 yrs ago Missing Person is one of my favorites of my over 300 bottle collection and I get tons of compliments
For Missing Person, I thought the same thing. But then I ran across an unwashed shirt I had sprayed it on and I've been in love since! It's GORGEOUS and can be worn easily at any time. It's so easy to wear, it gets way more use than my 10 out 10's. It's a staple for me now.
HSW didn't work for me the first time I sampled it and I thought it was BO vibes, but I found it deeply discounted and bought a bottle (over a year after the first sampling) and I now love it. She grew on me and I can smell the beauty/luxury now. I get loads of compliments when I wear it as well, so that doesnt hurt.
When I saw that the thumbnail had Missing Person and Musc Noir Rose, I was like, "YES!" I clicked so fast coz I've been waiting to hear your opinion on these two. Feel like they've been pretty hyped up. Thank you, Anne! 😊💜 (Btw, I tried them both and ended up not liking them that much either. 😅)
I adore Missing Person but I tend to love those types of musky, your skin but better scent profiles. I get that bitter neroli along with some fuzziness and it’s the sort of cozy that reminds me of my childhood 💗
I love Missing Person. I do think they had a defective(?) batch of bottles tho. I say this because one time my friend and I were at Sephora and I wanted her to smell Missing Person. Sprayed it literally on everything but I couldn’t smell anything. I went ahead and contacted Phlur about the tester bottle.
When I smelled Missing Person in Sephora, I also could smell nothing. Once I got a sample and smelled it at home and on my skin, I can clearly smell it. It’s actually a pretty great performer and lasts all day long on me. I have a full bottle now!
I also love wearing Bubble Bath at night before bed . Definitely clean and soapy, but there is almost something warm, creamy, and musky about it. Like hot skin straight from a warm bath. It’s so comforting to me. (I clearly like skin scents lol)
I had the EXACT same reaction to HSW when I first bought it! I nearly decluttered it! But over time, the tuberose and sandalwood really started to shine. And the likeness to Black Opium started to dissipate. It was a slow burn! But I fell completely in love a few months after I bought it.
Finally, someone that doesn’t understand the Hundred Silent Ways hype. I tested it in Neimans and I was unimpressed. I feel the same about Narcisco Rodriguez. The musk in his perfumes give me a big headache. I don’t get it!
Thank you! I totally agree about Cloud Pink - there’s something too tart and almost stinky to my nose. It performs alright on my skin but it’s just like a less good version of Cloud 2.0 or the OG.
I hate the dry down of Instant crush. I like how you described it. Lol ive been trying to explain it to others but apparently no one else smells whatever it is that bothers me. But i love BR540
Valaya smells extremely woody on me, which I enjoy but the sillage is remarkable! I only wear a couple sprays but people will comment on my perfume from quite a distance. I’ve never gotten this many comments with any of my other perfumes. It’s definitely got a presence about it without being overly obnoxious.
I am so with you on Hundred Silent Ways! I sampled it and my son said it smelled like something from Abercrombie. No shade to them, but for that price point it needs to offer far more.
the cloud pink is awful smelling was also a blind for me. on my skin it was really strong it was not pleasant to me. i am glad i didnt blind buy ingenious ginger i hate ginger but was told it smelled sweet. Valaya was instantly piercing aldehydes and ambroxan it was so upsetting the rest of the night everything smelled like valaya i have dry skin so everything going quicker to the dry down
I love your videos. I think I ONLY disagree on Narciso Rodrigues (I am also one of the people who asked you about this brand lol) , I just absolutely love NR. Each any every perfume from them (except poudree) works so well on me and my husband and daughter compliments me everytime I wear anything from NR.
I don't understand why people love Hundred Silent Ways. I love Nishane Ani and I absolutely adore Tero (nobody talks about!).. those 2 are very special and worthwhile. Edit to add: Nishane Fan Your Flames X is very nice too ♡
I don’t understand the hype about silent ways either, bought and sold it really fast. It’s just an overpriced basic Macys, Sephora designer style fragrance with a tuberose note they could’ve kept out of the mix and the headache inducing dose of white florals.
I feel like it’s a very safe gateway frag into the world of niche! I personally like HSW because it’s basically the smoother sister to Black Opium LOL. And because of that, i know it’s more well-received than a fragrance with a complex or deep profile. We need to remember that MANY people aren’t accustomed to notes of amber, oud, spices, tobacco, greens, and even some woody notes.
Can’t agree more on missing person! Every time I go try it out in Sephora, I have trouble smelling it by the time I leave, body sprays probably last longer! Love bubble bath a lot personally, it’s a pity it’s not working for you
Love Narciso Rodriguez For Her EDT is a very special unique fragrance! It’s warm, comforting and feminine. I love love it! Totally agree with you on Nishane Hundred Silent Ways. It smelled VERY synthetic to me! Did not like it. However I don’t feel the same about Mancera Instant Crush, love this one!
Me dropping everything and running to Anne’s new upload 🏃🏽♀️😭 I couldn’t get with the new cloud pink or musc noir rose either and ended up decluttering it after wearing it a few times 😩
I love these videos where you give you give honest opinions on all these hyped up perfumes. Social media is flooded with influencers who harp on about the same scents over and over, like parrots. I was nodding along with most of your thoughts on these, particularly Nishane's HSW. Absolutely agree that it's "nice" but if you're going to venture into niche, at least buy something unique and worth the money! Thank you for keeping it real and helping to curb the craze on some of these!
Ahh!! So funny, I’m sampling Vicebomb for the first time as we speak and I’m pretty underwhelmed. The beginning smells too medicinal and the dry down is too similar to the Intense Cafe/Gentle Fluidity Gold/Roses Vanille dna. Not special, but not bad.
Marc Jacobs Perfect also has banana sent which reminds me of sunblock. The bottle is interesting the little charms on the cap are the smell it tries to interpret.
I'm on the fence about Accident A.L.V. Cream dal la berry. I like it because it makes me feel like a kid but the dry down when the berries die off & it smells like soggy cereal is kind of weird. Gotta test more.
Personally, I appreciate the free-spoken opinions. I have learnt that I need to sample my fragrances before buying no matter how much anyone promotes or publicizes the product. There are some notes that are not for me, however, at times, the blending, quality, and amount used of those same notes can make an enormous difference between my olfactory system and brain, resulting in the most rebarbative or delightful experience
When it comes to musk, it really has to work well with your chemistry or else it's not gonna work. I'm lucky that the Narciso Rodriguez musk blooms on my skin because they smell just okay on paper strips.
What you said about NR is exactly how I feel about Kayali, a brand that all reviewers seem to love, for whatever reason. They could bottle urine, and everyone would rave about it.
I love it when you do these vids because I know it’s absolute honesty with the perfumes that are being super hyped and I rate your opinion. I bought La Danza last week in London. Truly exceptional, can’t wait to wear it when it gets a little cooler. Thank you 🌻
How do you feel about PHLUR Not Your Baby? I really love that one. To me it's an Orris Marshmallow. Super comforting and easy to wear when I'm in the mood for some orris powdery goodness 🥰
I got the 100 silent ways and honestly reminded me of something I would get from Victoria secret. Also the first spray was strong but the dry down isn’t
Did you spray missing person on your skin or on a test strip? In the store I couldn’t smell it on paper but on my skin it’s addicting. I’ve been wearing it for about a week and am obsessed
I had two people in separate occasions tell me I smelled like insect repellent and bathroom cleaner. I was testing Valaya lmao. Narco Oasis on the other hand was a big looove for me. I really enjoy this types of videos, it gives me perspective xo
Jousset Accident a la Vanille Creme de la Berry smells exactly like vape juice. I don’t smell it around me as much anymore, but a few years ago the Fruity Pebbles/cereal/breakfast vape juices were really popular and I smelled that scent everywhere, especially in nightclubs. As soon as I smelled the Jousset sample, I said “Vape juice.” Has that same scratchy nicotine quality to it and the exact same cereal scent. I can’t believe more people don’t know this.
Vicebomb has been on the top of my need list for months. I flew through my sample like it was nothing. As soon as i get the funds for the full bottle it'll be mineeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Hi Anne, you mentioned at the end of the video diving into niche but finding something unique. Could you please do a video on fragrances with unique profiles? Like one of a kind as far as you’ve experienced :)
Yes! I have one here :) ua-cam.com/video/fWeLVeVShps/v-deo.htmlsi=9ZlrrVkK9A1d0fDP Btw, I don't necessarily think you need to go ultra unique when it comes to spending money on niche, but I do recommend getting something more special than a profile at the designer level 😁
Hi Lauren, i love the unfiltered series content✨ Am not sure if you'll be able to read this comment but am hoping if you could please post your unfiltered opinions on hyped Mizensir Tres Chere, For Your Love and Ambre Magique, would love to hear your opinion about them😊😅😊
Even though it wasn’t for you, you’ve sold me on Ingenious Ginger. I love me some ginger, and a fizzy Moscow Mule scent sounds delightful. I may have to track down a decant.
Subscribe right when you said Narciso doesn't do it for you 😂 I try to like them too but I just can't 😂. The only perfume I've enjoyed from the brand is the Musc Noir, probably because I really like sweet plum scent. It reminds me of Givenchy Amarriage (?) back in the day, but more fresh and modern.
So interesting….I can smell Missing Person on me the next morning, and I find it so comforting. Everything else in the Phlur line 1) I hardly smell and/or 2) lasts for 2 minutes.🤷♀️
I feel the same about Narciso Rodriguez. Nothing I've tried is that good. They seem to be pretty generic and I've tried cheapies that easily easilllly dupe their fragrances. Over priced & over hyped blah
Totally appreciate these quick-fire reviews! Also, off-topic: I initially hated EBK’s DNDY because that hazelnut note was SO strong to me, but after i let it sit and re-tested it again after 2 months, I have now come to slowly fall in love with it… And can now see why you said it smells like blueberry muffins. And it’s mass-appealing too! Huge win!
I've always disliked the Narciso line too... Just not for me! But then this YTuber suggested "PURE MUSC" as a your-skin-but-better absolute compliment getter and got a sample... The opening is harsh and yucky but hu-NEY; the DRYYYY DOOOWWWNNNN!!! It's what Clean Girl Dreams are made of!!! I work in a confined, recycled air environment (so I try to wear fragrances that are appropriate for this type of space) and I swear I get 2-3 compliments on THIS fragrance EVERY TIME I wear it. The little scent cocoon it leaves behind is just so soooffft and elegantly understated... So yeah! With you on disliking Narciso fragrances but Pure Musc is my "work fragrance" exception... ;) Vx
It’s so funny you feel NR is just mid… OMG I thought I was the only freak. I feel the same. Truth- I have tried to “train” myself to like their scents , even purchased a few over the years, and ultimately sold them off bc…no. Musc noir rose is the only one I own right now, and even though I very rarely, read- never, reach for it, every time I smell it, I decide I don’t want to part with it. It’s really bizarre.
I loved this video and can not agree with you more! Maybe I’m just getting bored or have too high expectations, but I’ve felt flat about most new releases lately. Could you share your most complimented fragrances video, you’ve probably done this topic before but it would be great to see a current version.
Girl, I had to do a double take when I saw this video up so quickly after the last! 😂 I blind bought Nishane HSW because it was so hyped but it’s so generic - it smells almost the same as Kayali dejavu white flowers to me.
Felt the exact same about Ingenious Ginger - immediate return for me. And HSW is definitely designer… I own it and love it but I could have gotten that at Ulta.
I am glad I didn’t try the fragrance that smells like cereal milk Because it’s not the first time I’ve heard someone describe a perfume that way. It may not even have been THIS one but the description is hilarious and relatable but I have yet to smell one described that way🤣🤣🤣 probably for the best. Have you smelled Phlur’s Apricot Privee??
Thank you so so much Anne for making these videos, they’re my favorite on your channel, i so appreciate the honesty and bluntness when a perfume just isn’t good! Keep up the great work!!💖💖💖
That’s funny about the missing person perfume that you say you smell nothing. My husband said the same thing. But to me when I first sprayed it, it reminded me of my grandmother-sitting with her at church growing up and putting my head on her arm.
Here with the quickness! Lets see what you think. That cloud PINK sounds kind of fresh..... but the non existent lasting power sigh. I just want a good Pineapple scent lol.
I just have to say, I went to Ulta to try Ariana Grande Cloud Pink and I smelled it, smelled good, and sprayed it on myself thinking I would shop and pick it up at the end. After five minutes, it’s smelled HORRID. It smelled freaking rotten. I swear, I asked my husband to smell my wrist and he GAGGED. He freaking gagged, honestly, I did too. I smelled the tester paper that I was still holding and the perfume smelled totally and COMPLETELY different. I have never had a perfume change up on me that much. It absolutely could have been my body chemistry, but I would 100% say try it before buying because the scent changed so so so much on dry down.
oh nooo 😵💫 It's the worst when the opening gets you, you spray it all over for a full wear test, and then you're stuck with something you're itching to take off 😩
My unpopular opinion is Cloud smells like putrid rotten milk on me - certain cream scents do the same (Philosophy Fresh cream is bad, Fresh cream warm cashmere is good). I got a BR540 dupe at TJ Maxx (Mimic is the brand) and I could BATHE in that perfume - and Cloud should smell the same, but on me it didn’t. I hate that whipped cream or milk either works or doesn’t (Strawberry Poundcake from B&B works is the best sweet smelling thing ever - except it pulls rotten must on me also!!! What do you prefer for a peony scent that’s better than GGB?
I prefer my gourmands to smell like perfumes and not exactly like food. Would love a video on this concept ♡
I can do that!
Please do! 😆 Good idea @charmedbymeghan
That's an amazing idea, I agree.
Yess, I’m not trying to smell like literal food.
Yes please! I am the same way.
I’m so happy you’re constantly promoting that people should be taking a shower/bath. I didn’t think at this point, in this era, we’d have to encourage people to do this but, alas we’re here!!!

I don’t smell anything with missing person too! I try it every time I’m in a store and it drives me nuts! Lol
I'm just dying to know what your response was to her 😂

@@AnneLauren HAHA, I AGREE! I would rather test on my own. Especially since I've smelled so much and usually just there to smell something new.
I returned Cloud pink so fast. The sales associate said it was the most returned perfume they had sold since she started working there 3 yrs ago
Missing Person is one of my favorites of my over 300 bottle collection and I get tons of compliments
Absolutely love your sassiness 😂🙌🏾, so authentic. Real reviews + real personality, a rarity in this perfume space. My favvv 😆💋
Aw thank you!! ❤🙏🏼
13:44 girl, I'm Italian and I just wanted to say, don't worry about your pronunciation, you make everything sound beautiful♡
For Missing Person, I thought the same thing. But then I ran across an unwashed shirt I had sprayed it on and I've been in love since! It's GORGEOUS and can be worn easily at any time. It's so easy to wear, it gets way more use than my 10 out 10's. It's a staple for me now.
Oh I'm glad it ended up working out for you!
Love your sensie of humor, Anne 😅 your unfiltered opinions are so fun to watch!
thank you so much 😆
HSW didn't work for me the first time I sampled it and I thought it was BO vibes, but I found it deeply discounted and bought a bottle (over a year after the first sampling) and I now love it. She grew on me and I can smell the beauty/luxury now. I get loads of compliments when I wear it as well, so that doesnt hurt.

I adore Missing Person but I tend to love those types of musky, your skin but better scent profiles. I get that bitter neroli along with some fuzziness and it’s the sort of cozy that reminds me of my childhood 💗
I'm glad it's been a hit for you! ❤️
I love Missing Person. I do think they had a defective(?) batch of bottles tho. I say this because one time my friend and I were at Sephora and I wanted her to smell Missing Person.

I'm glad you're enjoying them! ❤️
I was just wondering the other day when you were going to do another one of these videos! Love your honesty and your humor!
😄❤️ thank you!
I had the EXACT same reaction to HSW when I first bought it! I nearly decluttered it! But over time, the tuberose and sandalwood really started to shine. And the likeness to Black Opium started to dissipate. It was a slow burn! But I fell completely in love a few months after I bought it.
I'm glad it works so well for you! ❤️
Finally, someone that doesn’t understand the Hundred Silent Ways hype. I tested it in Neimans and I was unimpressed. I feel the same about Narcisco Rodriguez. The musk in his perfumes give me a big headache. I don’t get it!
I couldn’t smell Missing Person either, but I got compliments from several people when I wore it. They said it smelled clean.
Thank you! I totally agree about Cloud Pink - there’s something too tart and almost stinky to my nose. It performs alright on my skin but it’s just like a less good version of Cloud 2.0 or the OG.
I hate the dry down of Instant crush. I like how you described it. Lol ive been trying to explain it to others but apparently no one else smells whatever it is that bothers me. But i love BR540

I’ve never gotten this many comments with any of my other perfumes. It’s definitely got a presence about it without being overly obnoxious.
It does have really good performance!
The Pink Cloud smells IDENTICAL to the original to me and it faded sooo fast on the tester strip! I can barely smell Missing person, either!
wasn't giving what it needed to give
I am so with you on Hundred Silent Ways! I sampled it and my son said it smelled like something from Abercrombie. No shade to them, but for that price point it needs to offer far more.
I am so happy to have found you:) Totally love how you vibe on your channel. Sarcasm is my go to stress reliever. Subscribing!

“Your cereal is soggy and it’s disgusting.” 🤣💀

100 % spot on
Like crazy accurate ! Obviously their opinions but I have similar olfactory responses !!
Great video and you are stunning so beautiful
🥹 thank you so much ❤️❤️
replica bubble bath makes me feel like I got some shampoo in my mouth by accident. my sample is now being used as a bathroom mist.
I don't understand why people love Hundred Silent Ways. I love Nishane Ani and I absolutely adore Tero (nobody talks about!).. those 2 are very special and worthwhile.
Edit to add:
Nishane Fan Your Flames X is very nice too ♡
I don’t understand the hype about silent ways either, bought and sold it really fast. It’s just an overpriced basic Macys, Sephora designer style fragrance with a tuberose note they could’ve kept out of the mix and the headache inducing dose of white florals.
I feel like it’s a very safe gateway frag into the world of niche! I personally like HSW because it’s basically the smoother sister to Black Opium LOL. And because of that, i know it’s more well-received than a fragrance with a complex or deep profile.

I love hundred silent ways 🙈loved ani and one day it smelled like cigarette😢, cannot continues to wear it for next few months;(
Hi, I love Alien Goddess its my favorite perfume.
I’m glad you love it!!
Can’t agree more on missing person! Every time I go try it out in Sephora, I have trouble smelling it by the time I leave, body sprays probably last longer! Love bubble bath a lot personally, it’s a pity it’s not working for you
I'm glad you enjoy Bubble Bath! ❤️
I believe my taste in perfumes is similar to yours. I’m gonna start following your recommendations even more after this video.
Love Narciso Rodriguez For Her EDT is a very special unique fragrance! It’s warm, comforting and feminine. I love love it! Totally agree with you on Nishane Hundred Silent Ways. It smelled VERY synthetic to me! Did not like it. However I don’t feel the same about Mancera Instant Crush, love this one!
your unfiltered opinions are my favorite. I love hearing unpopular opinions in general. Listening to this while I work on my business
Yay! I'm glad you enjoy them! Have a good work day 😁❤️
Totally loving this style of video content :) Thank you!
so glad you enjoy it!
I agree with the jousset! I like the accident a vanille and gourmand bakhoor though
Me dropping everything and running to Anne’s new upload 🏃🏽♀️😭 I couldn’t get with the new cloud pink or musc noir rose either and ended up decluttering it after wearing it a few times 😩
thank you for watching! ❤️
Awww, yeah!! Someone finally agrees with me about Nishane Hundred Silent Ways…totally YSL Black Opium vibes when I smelled it!! 😅
The fragrance of Missing Person was missing for me also! Must be like the cilantro situation, where some taste cilantro but others taste soap.

Ahh!! So funny, I’m sampling Vicebomb for the first time as we speak and I’m pretty underwhelmed. The beginning smells too medicinal and the dry down is too similar to the Intense Cafe/Gentle Fluidity Gold/Roses Vanille dna. Not special, but not bad.
I have vicebomb .. to me it’s like black cherry ice cream .. still looking for rhat perfect cherry scent …
That red lip is STUNNING on you!!!! 😍😍❤️❤️ great video as always Anne!
Thank you so much!! ❤
I so agree with missing person! I can't smell a thing....is the perfume in the room with us??
And I love phlur I have three of their scents - mood ring, father figure and strawberry letter
I also blind bought Cloud Pink and I’m highly disappointed. Thanks for sharing!
Marc Jacobs Perfect also has banana sent which reminds me of sunblock. The bottle is interesting the little charms on the cap are the smell it tries to interpret.

Do you have a review for the regular Accident a la vanille ? Not the berry one ? Would love to hear your thoughts !

As soon as I smelled the Jousset sample, I said “Vape juice.” Has that same scratchy nicotine quality to it and the exact same cereal scent. I can’t believe more people don’t know this.
so true, a lot of vape juice flavors are in that scent profile 😬
I like it, but totally agree on your take 100 silent Ways
Try the newest Narciso, the musk is totally different than the normal Narciso musk
Vicebomb has been on the top of my need list for months. I flew through my sample like it was nothing. As soon as i get the funds for the full bottle it'll be mineeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Wooo! I like that it’s a cherry fragrance done differently!

I’m glad you enjoyed!! Nah, no need for FOMO 😉
Even though it wasn’t for you, you’ve sold me on Ingenious Ginger. I love me some ginger, and a fizzy Moscow Mule scent sounds delightful. I may have to track down a decant.
Oh nice! Yeah give it a try!
Subscribe right when you said Narciso doesn't do it for you 😂 I try to like them too but I just can't 😂.
The only perfume I've enjoyed from the brand is the Musc Noir, probably because I really like sweet plum scent. It reminds me of Givenchy Amarriage (?) back in the day, but more fresh and modern.
So interesting….I can smell Missing Person on me the next morning, and I find it so comforting. Everything else in the Phlur line 1) I hardly smell and/or 2) lasts for 2 minutes.🤷♀️
Oh I’m glad it works for you!
I feel the same about Narciso Rodriguez. Nothing I've tried is that good. They seem to be pretty generic and I've tried cheapies that easily easilllly dupe their fragrances. Over priced & over hyped blah
I’m glad I’m not alone, I get comments about the brand all the time and I’m like I don’t get ittt
@@AnneLauren it's not you. It's them 😂😂
Totally appreciate these quick-fire reviews! Also, off-topic: I initially hated EBK’s DNDY because that hazelnut note was SO strong to me, but after i let it sit and re-tested it again after 2 months, I have now come to slowly fall in love with it… And can now see why you said it smells like blueberry muffins. And it’s mass-appealing too! Huge win!
Oh I'm so glad to hear it!! It's quite a unique one 💙
*subscribed* - love your videos
Thank you! So happy to have you here! ❤
Missing person. I agree with you and the house of Phlur…tooo subtle.
I've always disliked the Narciso line too... Just not for me! But then this YTuber suggested "PURE MUSC" as a your-skin-but-better absolute compliment getter and got a sample... The opening is harsh and yucky but hu-NEY; the DRYYYY DOOOWWWNNNN!!! It's what Clean Girl Dreams are made of!!! I work in a confined, recycled air environment (so I try to wear fragrances that are appropriate for this type of space) and I swear I get 2-3 compliments on THIS fragrance EVERY TIME I wear it. The little scent cocoon it leaves behind is just so soooffft and elegantly understated... So yeah! With you on disliking Narciso fragrances but Pure Musc is my "work fragrance" exception... ;) Vx
I'm glad you've had such a good experience with that one! ❤️
It’s so funny you feel NR is just mid… OMG I thought I was the only freak. I feel the same. Truth- I have tried to “train” myself to like their scents , even purchased a few over the years, and ultimately sold them off bc…no. Musc noir rose is the only one I own right now, and even though I very rarely, read- never, reach for it, every time I smell it, I decide I don’t want to part with it. It’s really bizarre.
I loved this video and can not agree with you more! Maybe I’m just getting bored or have too high expectations, but I’ve felt flat about most new releases lately. Could you share your most complimented fragrances video, you’ve probably done this topic before but it would be great to see a current version.
I feel the same way, I have high expectations for something to be full bottle worthy for me 😆 And for sure, I can film an updated one :)
Great video! How about one where you recommend niche perfumes for beginners and/or one based on popular designer perfumes?
Thank you! I do have a video on niche for beginners, but I could probably do an updated one :) And I will have to work on a designer video!
@@AnneLauren ah okay, I will have to check it out then :)
Girl, I had to do a double take when I saw this video up so quickly after the last! 😂 I blind bought Nishane HSW because it was so hyped but it’s so generic - it smells almost the same as Kayali dejavu white flowers to me.
Trying to make up for last month! 😅 I feel like it's a safe blind buy for people who love typical designer scent profiles 😬 We want something moreee
Completely agree! I also smell Black Opium without the coffee... which is the part of Black Opium I like. 💁
I agree with all of theee except musk noir rose hehe love these videos!!!! Keep ‘em coming ❤
haha thank you!! I'm glad you enjoy Musc Noir Rose!
Felt the exact same about Ingenious Ginger - immediate return for me. And HSW is definitely designer… I own it and love it but I could have gotten that at Ulta.
I’m in total agreement with Narcisco Rodriguez, I just don’t get it either! 😅
I loveee these videos of yours haha they’re my fav
here for the tea 😅❤️
I love your videos! Your opinions are so on point. You are great! ❤
Thank you so much!
I am glad I didn’t try the fragrance that smells like cereal milk
Because it’s not the first time I’ve heard someone describe a perfume that way. It may not even have been THIS one but the description is hilarious and relatable but I have yet to smell one described that way🤣🤣🤣 probably for the best.
Have you smelled Phlur’s Apricot Privee??
Thank you so so much Anne for making these videos, they’re my favorite on your channel, i so appreciate the honesty and bluntness when a perfume just isn’t good! Keep up the great work!!💖💖💖
I appreciate you!! It's my pleasure 😊❤️
La Danza de L... fell very flat for me too. weak and dull imo. I didn't like musc noir rose either. I haven't found one from NR I like yet.
That’s funny about the missing person perfume that you say you smell nothing. My husband said the same thing. But to me when I first sprayed it, it reminded me of my grandmother-sitting with her at church growing up and putting my head on her arm.
🥹 that's so special
Coming out with that no apologies red lipstick
truly 😅❤️
Love these vids, I have La danza, and it’s so beautiful, you described it perfectly!! ❤
Oh I can totally see you wearing that! So nice! 🍎🍦
Here with the quickness! Lets see what you think.
That cloud PINK sounds kind of fresh..... but the non existent lasting power sigh.
I just want a good Pineapple scent lol.
😄❤️
Good review!
Thank you!
I have to double comment, your descriptions are accurate and to the point. I'm here for it! 😊😊😊
Thank you!! ❤
I just have to say, I went to Ulta to try Ariana Grande Cloud Pink and I smelled it, smelled good, and sprayed it on myself thinking I would shop and pick it up at the end. After five minutes, it’s smelled HORRID. It smelled freaking rotten. I swear, I asked my husband to smell my wrist and he GAGGED. He freaking gagged, honestly, I did too. I smelled the tester paper that I was still holding and the perfume smelled totally and COMPLETELY different. I have never had a perfume change up on me that much. It absolutely could have been my body chemistry, but I would 100% say try it before buying because the scent changed so so so much on dry down.
oh nooo 😵💫 It's the worst when the opening gets you, you spray it all over for a full wear test, and then you're stuck with something you're itching to take off 😩
Agree on Hundred Silent Ways!
“It smells like Capri Sun blends” lol! 😂
I really loved vicebomb too! on the immediate wish list
a more unique cherry I think!
My unpopular opinion is Cloud smells like putrid rotten milk on me - certain cream scents do the same (Philosophy Fresh cream is bad, Fresh cream warm cashmere is good). I got a BR540 dupe at TJ Maxx (Mimic is the brand) and I could BATHE in that perfume - and Cloud should smell the same, but on me it didn’t. I hate that whipped cream or milk either works or doesn’t (Strawberry Poundcake from B&B works is the best sweet smelling thing ever - except it pulls rotten must on me also!!! What do you prefer for a peony scent that’s better than GGB?
oh no! Lactonic notes are usually a big no for me as well
