It's amazing how everyone's sense of smell is so different! All I got from Velvet Vanilla was tuberose, which I can't tolerate and doesn't smell anything like bubble gum to me. I do want to try Gentle Fluidity Gold, I have heard so many great things about it.
I love MFK Gentle Fluidity Gold! It is one of my most fav elegant vanillas.🥰 I have to stop myself from wearing it daily. And I’m so happy to see V&C Boris Dore in your haul. I think it is such a classy feminine leather/suede fragrance and very underrated. I smelled Bois D’Amande too and I also find it very beautiful. I don’t understand the reference to BR540 (it seems like almost everything gets compared to BR540) because to me it is a smoother, toned down, daytime version of Hypnotic Poison.
Velvet Vanilla was my first niche perfume. I bought it because it had a discount in the store and because of the reviews, I was new to the world of perfumes. I tried but it was too much for me, too strong, too much tuberose. I ended up selling decants and when I was down to half a bottle, I sold it. 🤷🏽♀️
@@AmyGlam Yes! They’re one of the top two places that I shop for samples. Next time you purchase from them, you should try a sample of Goldfield and Banks Sunset Hour. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Went with gentle fluidity gold for my first MFK scent. I'm so back & forth on 540 because of all the dupes. But I love how it smells layered!! Would love to see your opinion on the MFK oils! I think Oud satin mood or aqua universals would be a reallly pretty base.
I still need to test out my Velvet Vanilla sample. Already wearing a fragrance today, but maybe I’ll remember to try it tomorrow. Love the way the full bottle looks.
From Van Cleff you need to try Rose Rouge. It is the most delicious raspberry rose you will ever smell. Not a heavy or vintage rose either. Very young, modern and addictive.
Hey boo! 💜 Yes I definitely wasn’t expecting that w Velvet Vanilla.. I thought it was gonna be super sweet like cake 🎂 but it’s straight Bubble Gum Tuberose.. I have to be in mood to wear it cus it’s strong… the last one that was compared to BR540.. were they referring to the Extrait version cus that was has a almond note.. it’s wonderful 😍 but nowadays everything is compared to BR540.., BUT that new Sol De Janerio cream does have the DNA of BR♥️
Velvet Vanilla reminded me a LOT of Angelique Noire by Guerlain which I love. Must be the vanilla with the angelica note in both. But like you it gave me a headache... so I'll stick with my Guerlain despite the hefty price tag.
I love velvet vanilla that bubble gum tuberous is everything to me which is why I probably love Armani My Way. I like sweeter fragrances so velvet vanilla is one of my gems
Out here trying to find a dupe for my Hillary duff perfume I had when I was a teen. 😂 Apparently Jeux de Peau by Serge Lutens is similar would love to know your thought on it if you ever get a chance to smell it. The reviews are so good on fragrantica!
Velvet Vanilla💖😍😍😍 I want a full bottle🤩 I agree just a few sprays , like one or two sprays for me (maybe an arm and behind the neck or both ears) 🥰🥰 I love smelling it throughout the day… Big Boy Bubblegum 🍬✨
I think Gentle Fluidity Gold smells very similar to Mancera Roses Vanille and Montale Intense Cafe. I skipped on that one and got Roses Vanille and saved some money.
Same. I have roses vanille also. Smelled GFG and decided to pass. Makes no sense to buy something similar when I can spend money buying something I haven't smelled before.
I'm a seasonal person as well... love to save scents for the season I feel they shine in. That being said, I'm a huge almond lover like you and have many you've recommended. Which almond fragrance(s) would you say are your most worn all year round?
@@AmyGlam Absolutely!!! I’ve had a couple samples that I’ve loved and purchased the full bottles…well, the full bottles were weak🥺So luckily they are more of Fall and Winter fragrances, so I’ll let them simmer a bit and hopefully they’ll be ready to shine then!😉
Yay, was so excited for this hall, haven’t smelled vevlvet vanilla yet, but has been on my list!! I really don’t care for Armani my way as I get something animalic, does velvet vanilla give a animalic vibe at all? Great haul!!💕

SAME! I just sold my velvet vanilla on mercari because I could only smell the tuberose 😩 I was thinking it would be more like kilian LDBS

Gentle fluidly Gold was my first niche purchase and I loooooove it! 💓
Oh my goodness girl, your skin is absolutely beautiful, flawless. Your makeup is on point. 😊
Thank you! 🥰❤️

So happy you have Bois Dore and Bois D’Amande ! I love both, but Bois D’Amande is ♥️ love how sweet powdery it is 🥰
Which one from the 2 is mire sweet and feminine????
@@KatishMrs bois d amande ❤️
Not sure if you have love dont be shy but it's good to layer with velvet vanilla!great parfums!
That sounds like such a beautiful combo 🤩 thanks!

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll look into it 🥰❤️

Oooh velvet vanilla is my absolute favorite. I have van cleef and arpels orchidee vanille I love that one, such a good vanilla fragrance
😍 I think I’m adding that to my wishlist 😂

Roses Vanille is really good.
I bought Velvet Vanilla and it’s just bubblegum. No Tuberose like Fracas. Cloying and lasts all day.
I'm a seasonal person as well... love to save scents for the season I feel they shine in. That being said, I'm a huge almond lover like you and have many you've recommended. Which almond fragrance(s) would you say are your most worn all year round?
I would say my most used year round would be Elie Saab Girl of Now ☺️🥰
Have you found a perfect cupcake vanilla that you were hoping for with Velvet Vanilla? I’m on the hunt for one. Lol
Hey pretty lady!! I’m glad I’m not the only One that likes to buy fragrances out of season so they can “ marinade” and get stronger. lol
Hi! 🥰❤️ I have definitely noticed that lately.. I thought I was just imagining things😅, but they definitely bet better with some time 🙌🏼😂
@@AmyGlam Absolutely!!! I’ve had a couple samples that I’ve loved and purchased the full bottles…well, the full bottles were weak🥺So luckily they are more of Fall and Winter fragrances, so I’ll let them simmer a bit and hopefully they’ll be ready to shine then!😉
Awesome haul friend!
Thank you! 🥰
I love me some gentle fluidity gold ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yay, was so excited for this hall, haven’t smelled vevlvet vanilla yet, but has been on my list!! I really don’t care for Armani my way as I get something animalic, does velvet vanilla give a animalic vibe at all? Great haul!!💕
Thank you 🥰 I would say the Mancera velvet vanilla does have an animalic touch to it.
I love seeing you get into niche fragrances 😌 but just fyi Van Cleef & arpels isn't niche! It's a jewelry brand
Ahh thank you! 🥰 I always get confused with which ones are niche and I didn’t know it was a jewelry brand.
Thanks for sharing your video take care ❤️
Bois Dore my favorite ✨ great haul ☺️✨
Thank you! 🥰❤️
Ahhh you finally got your Mancera scents…. Hope you throughly enjoy it~
❤️
Whyyyy is velvet vanilla so weak on me. Everybody says that it is strong. I bought it in the Mancera store 😭
Sometimes people get anosmic to scents. You might just be an unlucky one.
I feel that way about mancera holidays
Let it is for a while and let it macerate. It will get stronger
