I love VR flower Bomb. My husband bought it for me on our wedding day. Every time I smell it I think of how lucky I am to have such a thoughtful person in my life. Next week we are celebrating 10 years of marriage!!!!!!
YES perfume videos are so underrated, I know it's hard to explain scents and everyone's taste is super different but I always feel overwhelmed when I try to look for a new one so I like to know what my fave youtubers wear !
Once I went to Sephora the lady asked me what kind of scent I liked, I told her I loved "orange"-like scents and she showed me the Tocca Stella perfume. Fell in love instantly, and seeing your Atelier Cologne Orange Sanguine definitely got me curious 🙈 I'll have to try it out.
Bal D'Afrique has been my signature scent for about two years. I find it really unique and get asked about it almost every time I wear it. Glad you like it too :) Congratulations on your pregnancy!! Xxx
Tam dao diptyque is my favorite that I wear all seasons. It is very chic! Reminds me of your scent that you say is like books or a library. I love comforting scents. Thank you for this video. I am going to try a few of these!
i think i love these videos so much because when you talk about memories and feelings and i just love that. i'm a big scent memory person. i've been obsessed with precious pink jasmine ever since you first mentioned it. i think the people at the counter are on to be bc i keep asking for samples. i'm glad you got it!
Fluer is my favourite,you're so down to earth!! Also I love the old school youtube videos! Can't wait for #babydeforce! Congratulations to you and Mike!! Eeekkk❤️
I immediately thought of Hermès Eau des Merveilles after hearing you gush about amber scents. It's a beautiful marriage of orange and amber, but to me personally it's the cedar wood that seals the deal. You should give it a smell, it's really quite special.
Hi Fleur! I also love Byredo Bal D'Afrique (just used the last drop yesterday). I would definitely recommend you try the Mojave Ghost -- such a great summer scent!
I adore perfume collection videos, I always come back to them! I'm a perfume collector myself (over 100 bottles these days!) so I love seeing what others have and how their opinions compare to mine.
You are the best UA-camr. You stay true to what drew your fans to you in the first place, give so much variety. I don't know how you do it but I wish you uploaded every single day bc no one is like you Fleur. Your biggest fan from the US. 😘😘😘😘😘
I think you mentioned this perfume in a video a long time ago, Estée Lauder Modern Muse Le Rouge, it has become my absolute favourite and I always get so many compliments when I'm wearing it.
I love these fragrance videos. I am a bit obsessed over fragrances. My signature scent for late spring, summer, and early fall is Chloe by Chloe. My late fall, winter, and early spring signature scent is Chance by Chanel. I do, however, wear all kinds throughout the year. I am currently loving the Nest collections, especially the Dahlia & Vines and Citrine. I also love sweet floral scents so I'm loving Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb and Replica's Flower market. When the days start getting colder, I tend to reach for my YSL Black Opium. I love mixing one or two Versace perfumes such as the Bright Crystal and the Yellow Diamond together. I hope you continue to do more of these types of videos!
Fleur, the Elizabeth & James fragrances have just launched in the UK! Only in Harrods at the mo but we just did a video on them. p.s. There are two new ones as well which we'll be featuring in a couple of weeks on our channel
OMG! Perfume before bedtime!!! I'm SO doing that! I also love to spray perfume into my closet and that way your layering the scent via your clothes! So I'm loving Chanel Beige mainly because of the frangipani note which reminds me of holidays! LOVED this video! X
Fleur. I am going to be in the UK soon. Can you do a video on what I should buy if I am in the uk that you cannot easily get elsewhere. Before Aug 23rd Please?!?!?!? Thanx
Thanks so much for the reply. I've been there before but have never done a "chemist" haul. I'm thinking like a french pharmacy haul but for the UK. Curious what fleur would recommend. And if anyone else has specific items that awesome please share. Did you have any products that you picked up and if so how did you like them?
If you're looking for a fragrance, I was in the UK recently and picked up a bottle of Molecule 01 - I love it, it's all I've been wearing since and I've been getting so many complements!
Hi Fleur, great video!! I too am a perfume lover and according to your amber liking here's what I would suggest you trying: - Eau des Merveilles (Hermès): warm and joyful - Ambre Eternel (Guerlain): oriental and intense - L'instant de Guerlain (...Guerlain! 😉): soft and luminous Hopefully one of them might join your beautiful collection one day 😀 xo
Love how fragrance aids memories. I wore Elizabeth Arden Green Tea when it was a new release to ease my morning sickness. One whiff helped me not feel so ill. Once my baby was born I couldn't stand it and many years later I still don't like it as it reminds me of feeling ill! Byredo Rose Noir is a fave of mine for winter and Rose of No Man's Land for summer. I also have Bal D'Afrique and Eau Duelle as my winter scents and enjoy Byredo Gypsy Water and Maison Francis Kurkdjian APOM in summer.
Fleur, make sure you smell Elie Saab 'Le Parfum Rose Couture' if you get a chance- I absolutely love it! Also, Olympea by Paco Rabanne is a great one! 💖
If you love Nirvana Bourbon, Replica Jazz Club is in the same family and smells sooo good. Its musky and has notes of tobacco but also has vanilla. It's technically a men's fragrance but I think is fine for women. Also congrats on Baby de Force!!!!
I absolutely love the beach walk from Maison Margiela Replica range - if you like the smell of sun cream like you say it is the perfect fresh ocean/ beach smell!!
Recently discovered and fallen in love with your videos Fleur. I love fragrance reviews because choosing a dud can be an expensive mistake! Super excited to hear about the Aerin Amber Musk perfume, iv'e been on the hunt for an Amber perfume since Loccitane discontinued it's gorgeous Amber perfume, I used to use it with Marc Jacobs Blush, I never had so many nice comments about fragrance since. Lots of amber fragrances are just too overpowering, so I'm always after a gentler one.Cheers!
I have been really into my NEST Black Tulip (their newest perfume I think), and it has Black Amber Plum. Would definitely recommend. Generally love all of my NEST perfumes.
I love fresh floral and fresh fruit fragrances! Favourites are Elizabeth and James Nirvana White and more recently (big splurge ) Jo Malone Blackberry and Bay. Guerlain La Petite Robe Noir was my going out scent in Uni so has so many good (and foggy) memories attached to it!
I fell in love 2 years ago for Parfumerie Generale perfume and since then I wear only them. I started with Grand Siècle Intense (7.1) it's kind of a cologne. This fall and winter I had Indian Wood (11.1), I never tought I could like a perfume like this, I used to prefer fresh and fruity scents and this one is more warm, but a bit fresh in the same time with a little bit of sweet (but not sickly sweet). For this summer I choose le musc et la peau (4.1), it's a light perfume who move with your skin, it's pretty subtle but very sensual as well. I really really enjoy this brand, there is few more I love in this collection and love to have.
My favourite parfume is Bvlgari Omnia Coral. Bought it four years ago at an airport when I had an overlay and quite some time to kill. Have loved it ever since. It's so sweet and fresh and it reminds me of summer holidays.
Juliette Has a Gun Not a Perfume and Bond No. 9 Andy Warhol Union Square are my fav scents ever. I am also living the Elizabeth and James Nirvana Bourbon. I will have to give the Aerin fragrances a sniff the next time I am at Sephora. They sound quite lovely. Thanks for sharing.
On my wish list are both from Replica. Beach Walk and Lipstick On. Just have to finish what I currently have before I let myself buy them. I love Trish McEvoy Blackberry Vanilla musk, jo Malone blackberry and bay and nest citrine.
fleur i recently bought from.van cleef and arpel from.collectiom extraoordinaire a bottle called gardenia petale.... it ia the perfect balance between a gardenia with a hint of jasmine and sweetness and vanilla. i highly recommend u give it a shot..therr is even one in the collection called vanilla.orchidee which is the perfect amount of vanilla sweetness. give that a whirl as well
I love perfumes, and this video Fleur! I've culled my collection down to my all time favourites: Jo Malone wood sage and sea salt, dolce and gabbana light blue, Gucci flora gorgeous gardenia, Giorgio Armani's aqua di giao and Estée Lauder bronze goddess.
That Trish McEvoy fragrance bottle is soooo beautiful!! Lovely it's engraved too!! I love the shape of the Chanel bottle too! I do know what you mean about Chanel fragrances being very distinctive. I'm perfume crazy, I could talk about my favourites forever! One of my favourites is Coco by Chanel. Based on the ones you liked, you might like Bvlgari- Goldea
I remember last year you mentioned the Bourbon fragrance, and I went to Sephora in Canada. I bought a bottle, anticipating only to purchase a rollerball! lol, low and behold it hadn't come out in a rollerball. Love the scent, it's sooo good! A favourite in my fragrance collection as well. Thanks to you of course...cheers, hugs from Ontario :)
The first scent I absolutely fell for was Armani 'She'. I still love it but don't wear it as much now, but as soon as I spray it it makes me smile. My other two favorites are 'The One' and 'The One Desire' by Dolce and Gabana. Absolutely love both of them. A more unusual one for me is Karma by Lush. Not something I'd normally wear but cannot get enough of the smell. It's a very orange/patchouli/heady scent. Like nothing else I've smelt before :)
My current favourite is the Chanel No5 L'eau. They reinvented the classic scent and made it just that bit fresher than the classic no5. I highly recommend you try it Fleur!
nice collection! i love Guerlain's traditional fragrances. if you love Atelier's Orange Sanguine, you will like Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic.
E&J Bourbon Vanilla is my FAVORITE. I thought I would just wear it this past winter, but I have not been able to put it down! One of my favorites this spring/summer has been Stella McCartney Pop; it's another sweet one, but not super-sweet; it lasts forever on me and is just delicious!
Stunning collection! Bal d'Afrique is also my absolute fav!! If you like that, I think you'd also enjoy Carvin le parfum, which is a tiny bit more fruity, with a sparkling quality that's very youthful but also very elegant at the same time! (Think a classy French ballerina)
Lol Karen Walker makes me think of Will and Grace! I love the Nirvana Bourbon too! I have the point perk version and I want a larger size for my birthday or something in the fall.
I wear perfume to bed almost every night (and also sometimes as a room spray!); helps use it up before it turns, especially if you have a large collection, and it just feels very luxurious! Also! You should try the scent Amber Saffron by Clean (the Reserve collection). So, so good. :)
I only wore Stella (by Stella McCartney) while travelling for 6 months on my gap year, I think it'll be one of my favourite fragrances for life now... it takes me back to that trip every time I smell it! And I'll just add myself to the looooong list of people also wearing Coco Madmoiselle!
A good dupe for Atelier Cologne is the body shops satsuma perfume. It's slightly more orangey than the other one but lasts for a decent amount of time for the price!
Byredo Gypsy water is my absolute favourite perfume. I also really adore catherine malandrino style de paris. Amber musk is always in my collection, it's a stunning scent. Tom Ford White patchouli is probably my most worn scent. my "special occasion" but also an absolute purse pinching expensive perfume is my Tom Ford neroli portofino it's stunning, I get the most complements when I wear this 😊 I always really adored perfume videos, so thanks for giving us a little throwback 😘 xxx
Using Jo Malone 'Black cedarwoord & Juniper' almost every day in spring and summer, other times I use my UA-cam-made-me-buy-it favorites Stella MCartney 'Stella', Vera Wang 'Lovestruck', Elizabeth&James 'Black', and I once chased a woman down the store to find out she was wearing Escada 'Taj Sunset', typical summer sent! Sents I wish I could buy: Byredo 'Gypsy water', Replica 'jazz club', V&Rolf ' Flowerbomb. GREAT VIDEO! xx
i just got Diana Vreeland Simply Divine and its fabulous. Im not a usually a florals girl. i tend to go for the ambery scents but there is something so rich and interesting about this one.
I love perfume and I have my favourites like Marc Jacobs blush but I think I'm going to stick my New Look perfume for now... £12.99 for 30ml. Plus I adore the smell!! So if you're looking for really inexpensive (inexpensive to us normal girls and not £50 being inexpensive) then definitely check out New Look fragrances!!
Fleur have you ever tried the black opium perfume? what did you think of it? (I bought it in duty free and I'm picking it up when I leave for the U.K next week!)
I am Yves Saint Laurent fragrances fan. I use Elle and Parisiene for years now. My other favourite is J'adore Dior. It is like too heavy for every day but I love using it for special occasions.
Got D&G's "L'Imperatrice" last year and absolutely loved it. It was on a massive discount at Boots for under £30. It was so fresh and the hint of rhubarb was just divine. Still haven't mourned running out of it, and it's back on full price. Another one I love is Armani's Si, the classic one.
I usually shop at a little boutique in Salem, MA (Aroma Sanctum) for perfumes personally - they do custom mixes of essential oils to suit your personality and likes (and have some of their ready made blends as well which are mostly seasonal). But I do have a bottle of Chanel #5 that my uncles mother got not long before she died that he couldnt bear to throw away. All the grandkids are guys (and were barely in college at the time) and daughter-in-law didnt want it so he gave it to me. It is a huge one so that is the one I wear most everyday to teach - its a nice classy work scent.
Cinema YSL is my all time favourite. I also like Opium and Black Opium by them as well.I recently smelt their new Mon Paris in boots and thats beautiful so would hope to get that one soon. I know what you mean about everyone recognising them. I loooove the smell of Black Opium but everyone wears it and recognises it straight away x
Fleur - I'd recommend trying out a make your own perfume day (+ maybe bring mike along) I started helping at the London events for The Perfume Studio and haven't bought a store bought perfume since - they have a really nice amber scent that I think you'd love!
I wore the Atelier Cologne Orange Sanguine on my wedding day (and like all of the days around it! Haha). It is the most beautifully fresh yet warm scent. I love it! I'm pretty sure I sprayed air on myself for weeks after I empties the bottle because I couldn't admit it was gone 😂😭💕
Have you seen the Atelier Cologne Clementine California? That has quickly become my favorite of their range. So fresh and light but still that classic citrus scent. Gorgeous.
I enjoyed your video! I haven't smelled too many Byredo fragrances, but I do like the Bal D'Afrique as well as Mojave Ghost. I am currently using Prada Infusion D'Iris, which had to grow on me...also Lanvin Eclat D'Arpege is a staple and I have Jo Malone Wood Sage and Seasalt. I love Bronze Goddess, too!
So excited to see this and love your perfume taste, when you liked my comment requesting this I was so happy! A brilliant video as always. Hope you are having a good holiday and your pregnancy is going well x :)
I am a huge fragrance fan so I loved this video! I have several favourites- the ubiquitous Wood Sage & Sea Salt from Jo Malone (year-round), Eau Moheli from Diptyque and Beach Walk from Maison Margiela for summer (also love Lipstick On and By the Fireside from that range. So many others but those are a few I go back to!
I think you'd like the House of Commodity. Lots of edgy-modern, femme fragrances. Specifically: Gold (Gourmand, Mid Notes of Amber), Book (Also Mid Notes of Amber), and maaaaybe Bergamot. All of the fragrances are linear and made to be layred upon one another.
Wow Fleur, we seem to have a similar taste in fragrances. My absolute favourite is Bal d'Afrique and I love Amber Musk, Bourbon Vanilla and Orange Sanguine as well. I will be trying out some of the others you have mentioned. A few of my favourites you might appreciate are: Jo Malone - Wood Sage and Sea Salt, Zarkoperfume - Molécule no.8, Terry de Gunzburg - Rose Infernale, Scent Bar - 500, BYREDO - Mojave Ghost, Alaïa - Alaïa and the candle "Varenna" from Eight and Bob.
Sounds weird but I'd really recommend 'Vanillary' fragrance from LUSH. It has Tonka, jasmine and vanilla obviously but it is somehow the most addictive, warming (but non - sickly) perfume ever. Everyone always asks me what it is when I wear it too! X
Hi Fleur! I love the Repetto perfumes. The classic one smells like a deep honey to me. A definite autumn/winter scent for me. I also have the eau florale from them. Definitely a more floral spring/summer scent. Not too sweet (I neither like too sickly sweet scents), but the floral notes and the deep honey (just on the background) are lovely! I don't know if the brand is available in the UK, but in the Netherlands it is available at ICI Paris shops. I definitely recommend them, even for the bottle design alone. I mean, what girl doesn't like rose-gold and pink? Look 'em up, I think you'll like it!
Not sure if these are amber perfumes, but these are the ones I love the most: My Burberry Black, CHLOE, Armani Acqua di Gioia (this one is definitely not, it's very fresh), Marc Jacobs Decadence, and Charlotte Tilbury Scent of a Dream
Dear Fleur, congrats on your pregnancy, first of all 😊🤰🏼💐! Would you mind telling us which watch you're wearing? It looks lovely from the glimpses, I got from it. 😊 I'm looking for a high quality watch to buy, which is classic but still sporty and feminine. Maybe you could also do something about current watches for her/him in different categories or price ranges. I would love that! 😘
I love your perfume collections because they are unique and you have so much to say I can tell you really spent time thinking about them. The nirvana bourbon is on my purchase list - I got a roller ball and fell in love. I am almost finished a nirvana black as well the whole range is awesome!
Try Soho Bond No 9. It is so unique! It's a NYC based brand but I'm pretty sure you can find it in the UK at Harrods, or stop by Saks next time you're in NYC! I think you'll love it. I've literally never smelled it on anyone before.
I got given a bottle of YSL Young Sexy Lovely by my college boyfriends uncle -- it was my first ever scent and in such a pretty girly bottle. I don't wear it anymore but it's still such a special perfume to me. My current favorite is Jo Malone peony and blush suede!
I loved this Fleur as Fragrance to me can actually evoke emotions and trigger such special memories like of my precious Mum who's signature scent was Chanel NO 5 just one little sniff and I can close my eyes and for that instant she is standing right beside me once more with memories so so beautifully wonderful that just come flooding back. Then my precious Aunt Violet who's fav was Estée Lauder white linen and again fill me with such emotion when I smell it, truly priceless. Thank you for this Fleur, what was your wedding day scent ? 😘💖💖😘
Hi Fleur, I've also quite a perfume collection, not as designer as yours but my current favourites are Mark Jacobs Decadence, Versace Bright Crystal and I love Euphoria by Calvin Klein. 💙
I have worn and wear several different perfumes, but my signature scent is honey from Marc Jacobs. I wore it on my wedding day and I always have a bottle of it around
I love VR flower Bomb. My husband bought it for me on our wedding day. Every time I smell it I think of how lucky I am to have such a thoughtful person in my life. Next week we are celebrating 10 years of marriage!!!!!!
Rebecca Merrell Congratulations! ❤️
Such a sweet story :) Congratulations! xo
Flowerbomb is my religion.
I graduate from my Master's on Friday and this morning I decided to buy myself a perfume for the occasion. What a well timed video! Lots of love xxx
Charlotte Lorina congratulations!
Thank you! xxx
Congrats Charlotte! Which perfume are you going for? xo
I love how your dog is totally chilled out in the background, legs in the air , happy dog
You could literally show us your rock collection and i'd still watch you! Haha love your videos!
Jordan Olsen Favorite comment haha ABSOLUTELY AGREE 😄😄
YES perfume videos are so underrated, I know it's hard to explain scents and everyone's taste is super different but I always feel overwhelmed when I try to look for a new one so I like to know what my fave youtubers wear !
Great video Fleur. If you had to pick only ONE of these perfumes as your fave which one would it be? :) x
Once I went to Sephora the lady asked me what kind of scent I liked, I told her I loved "orange"-like scents and she showed me the Tocca Stella perfume. Fell in love instantly, and seeing your Atelier Cologne Orange Sanguine definitely got me curious 🙈 I'll have to try it out.
Shout out to the best UA-camr! Who else loves Fleur, her dogs and of course Mike 😁😂
Tahmina Begum Don't forget the elusive kitties and Baby DeForce!
Tahmina Begum yeahhh
😍😍😍 xo
Bal D'Afrique has been my signature scent for about two years. I find it really unique and get asked about it almost every time I wear it. Glad you like it too :) Congratulations on your pregnancy!! Xxx
Tocca's Stella is amazing! Its blood orange, sandalwood, and I believe white freesia
Lovely video Fleur! You're so beautiful ❤
the classic chloe eau de parfum is absolutely amazing, it's my everyday staple and im still obsessed with it after an entire year of wear
Tam dao diptyque is my favorite that I wear all seasons. It is very chic! Reminds me of your scent that you say is like books or a library. I love comforting scents. Thank you for this video. I am going to try a few of these!

Kiera Henderson so exciting!!
I wear Bottega Veneta (the original) which is quite leathery, YSL Black Opium and Armani Prive Pivoin Suzhou xo
I immediately thought of Hermès Eau des Merveilles after hearing you gush about amber scents. It's a beautiful marriage of orange and amber, but to me personally it's the cedar wood that seals the deal. You should give it a smell, it's really quite special.
I will do, thanks so much for the reccomendation! xo
Hi Fleur! I also love Byredo Bal D'Afrique (just used the last drop yesterday). I would definitely recommend you try the Mojave Ghost -- such a great summer scent!
These remind me of my favorites- Dior Poison, Pacco Rabanne Lady Million, and Gucci Guilty. The Millar Harris perfume sounds amazing, love this video!
I adore perfume collection videos, I always come back to them! I'm a perfume collector myself (over 100 bottles these days!) so I love seeing what others have and how their opinions compare to mine.
I was just thinking this morning that I wanted to see your updated perfume collection. Wish granted! One of us must be a mind reader.
I remember when you first talked about Nirvana Bourbon. I went out and bought it the same day. I still til this day love that scent.
Inexpensive amber scent is the MAC creme d'nude, love it.
You are the best UA-camr. You stay true to what drew your fans to you in the first place, give so much variety. I don't know how you do it but I wish you uploaded every single day bc no one is like you Fleur. Your biggest fan from the US. 😘😘😘😘😘
Awww thank you for your sweet comment Mais! 💜 xo

Dark Amber and Ginger Lily makes me so nostalgic! It reminds me of my first year at university

Sallu58214 England is the best place to shop. I love their department stores marks and Spencers ,debenhams ,River Island ,selfridges and BHS.
Thanks so much for the reply. I've been there before but have never done a "chemist" haul. I'm thinking like a french pharmacy haul but for the UK. Curious what fleur would recommend. And if anyone else has specific items that awesome please share. Did you have any products that you picked up and if so how did you like them?
Check her "boots" hauls, they are full of products you can only find in the UK :)
If you're looking for a fragrance, I was in the UK recently and picked up a bottle of Molecule 01 - I love it, it's all I've been wearing since and I've been getting so many complements!

Yay, I've been waiting for this video for so long! Dark Amber & Ginger Lily is heaven I absolutely love it, I pair it with English Pear and Freesia

nice collection! i love Guerlain's traditional fragrances. if you love Atelier's Orange Sanguine, you will like Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic.
I dont know why but I love perfume collection videos so much!
I'm wearing the Atelier Cologne Orange Sanguine right now lol! I just got a sample of it in the July Sephora Play box, and I'm in love already.
E&J Bourbon Vanilla is my FAVORITE. I thought I would just wear it this past winter, but I have not been able to put it down! One of my favorites this spring/summer has been Stella McCartney Pop; it's another sweet one, but not super-sweet; it lasts forever on me and is just delicious!
It's such a lovely fragrance! I'll have to give Pop a try! xo
Stunning collection! Bal d'Afrique is also my absolute fav!! If you like that, I think you'd also enjoy Carvin le parfum, which is a tiny bit more fruity, with a sparkling quality that's very youthful but also very elegant at the same time! (Think a classy French ballerina)
Lol Karen Walker makes me think of Will and Grace! I love the Nirvana Bourbon too! I have the point perk version and I want a larger size for my birthday or something in the fall.
Dior Blooming Bouquet is my favorite floral fragrance of all time and Juliette Has a Gun Mad Madame is my favorite indescribable unique one.
I wear perfume to bed almost every night (and also sometimes as a room spray!); helps use it up before it turns, especially if you have a large collection, and it just feels very luxurious! Also! You should try the scent Amber Saffron by Clean (the Reserve collection). So, so good. :)
I only wore Stella (by Stella McCartney) while travelling for 6 months on my gap year, I think it'll be one of my favourite fragrances for life now... it takes me back to that trip every time I smell it! And I'll just add myself to the looooong list of people also wearing Coco Madmoiselle!
definitely with you on the idea that different fragrances trigger so many different memories!
A good dupe for Atelier Cologne is the body shops satsuma perfume. It's slightly more orangey than the other one but lasts for a decent amount of time for the price!
Byredo Gypsy water is my absolute favourite perfume. I also really adore catherine malandrino style de paris. Amber musk is always in my collection, it's a stunning scent. Tom Ford White patchouli is probably my most worn scent. my "special occasion" but also an absolute purse pinching expensive perfume is my Tom Ford neroli portofino it's stunning, I get the most complements when I wear this 😊
I always really adored perfume videos, so thanks for giving us a little throwback 😘 xxx
Using Jo Malone 'Black cedarwoord & Juniper' almost every day in spring and summer, other times I use my UA-cam-made-me-buy-it favorites Stella MCartney 'Stella', Vera Wang 'Lovestruck', Elizabeth&James 'Black', and I once chased a woman down the store to find out she was wearing Escada 'Taj Sunset', typical summer sent! Sents I wish I could buy: Byredo 'Gypsy water', Replica 'jazz club', V&Rolf ' Flowerbomb. GREAT VIDEO! xx
i just got Diana Vreeland Simply Divine and its fabulous. Im not a usually a florals girl. i tend to go for the ambery scents but there is something so rich and interesting about this one.
I love perfume and I have my favourites like Marc Jacobs blush but I think I'm going to stick my New Look perfume for now... £12.99 for 30ml. Plus I adore the smell!! So if you're looking for really inexpensive (inexpensive to us normal girls and not £50 being inexpensive) then definitely check out New Look fragrances!!
Fleur have you ever tried the black opium perfume? what did you think of it? (I bought it in duty free and I'm picking it up when I leave for the U.K next week!)
Emily D'Costa I'm curious if Fleur would like it! Was thinking about that one too...
I am Yves Saint Laurent fragrances fan. I use Elle and Parisiene for years now. My other favourite is J'adore Dior. It is like too heavy for every day but I love using it for special occasions.
I'm so glad you did this Fleur! Not many youtubers have done this and I look forward to these videos so much!
Got D&G's "L'Imperatrice" last year and absolutely loved it. It was on a massive discount at Boots for under £30. It was so fresh and the hint of rhubarb was just divine. Still haven't mourned running out of it, and it's back on full price. Another one I love is Armani's Si, the classic one.
I usually shop at a little boutique in Salem, MA (Aroma Sanctum) for perfumes personally - they do custom mixes of essential oils to suit your personality and likes (and have some of their ready made blends as well which are mostly seasonal). But I do have a bottle of Chanel #5 that my uncles mother got not long before she died that he couldnt bear to throw away. All the grandkids are guys (and were barely in college at the time) and daughter-in-law didnt want it so he gave it to me. It is a huge one so that is the one I wear most everyday to teach - its a nice classy work scent.
You have to try zarkoperfume molecule and Pink molecule.. with Pink you have to wait for the after smell.. but you Will love it.
Cinema YSL is my all time favourite. I also like Opium and Black Opium by them as well.I recently smelt their new Mon Paris in boots and thats beautiful so would hope to get that one soon. I know what you mean about everyone recognising them. I loooove the smell of Black Opium but everyone wears it and recognises it straight away x
Fleur - I'd recommend trying out a make your own perfume day (+ maybe bring mike along) I started helping at the London events for The Perfume Studio and haven't bought a store bought perfume since - they have a really nice amber scent that I think you'd love!
I wore the Atelier Cologne Orange Sanguine on my wedding day (and like all of the days around it! Haha). It is the most beautifully fresh yet warm scent. I love it! I'm pretty sure I sprayed air on myself for weeks after I empties the bottle because I couldn't admit it was gone 😂😭💕
My current favourite would be Jo Loves Pomelo. It's so fresh but quite warm too!
Have you seen the Atelier Cologne Clementine California? That has quickly become my favorite of their range. So fresh and light but still that classic citrus scent. Gorgeous.
I enjoyed your video! I haven't smelled too many Byredo fragrances, but I do like the Bal D'Afrique as well as Mojave Ghost. I am currently using Prada Infusion D'Iris, which had to grow on me...also Lanvin Eclat D'Arpege is a staple and I have Jo Malone Wood Sage and Seasalt. I love Bronze Goddess, too!
I'm a Chanel Chance Eau Tendre for daytime and a YSL Elle for evening kinda girl. They're the only perfumes I own and I love them so much
So excited to see this and love your perfume taste, when you liked my comment requesting this I was so happy! A brilliant video as always. Hope you are having a good holiday and your pregnancy is going well x :)
I am a huge fragrance fan so I loved this video! I have several favourites- the ubiquitous Wood Sage & Sea Salt from Jo Malone (year-round), Eau Moheli from Diptyque and Beach Walk from Maison Margiela for summer (also love Lipstick On and By the Fireside from that range. So many others but those are a few I go back to!
I think you'd like the House of Commodity. Lots of edgy-modern, femme fragrances. Specifically: Gold (Gourmand, Mid Notes of Amber), Book (Also Mid Notes of Amber), and maaaaybe Bergamot. All of the fragrances are linear and made to be layred upon one another.
Thanks for the tip - will def check those out! xo
Wow Fleur, we seem to have a similar taste in fragrances. My absolute favourite is Bal d'Afrique and I love Amber Musk, Bourbon Vanilla and Orange Sanguine as well. I will be trying out some of the others you have mentioned.
A few of my favourites you might appreciate are:
Jo Malone - Wood Sage and Sea Salt,
Zarkoperfume - Molécule no.8,
Terry de Gunzburg - Rose Infernale,
Scent Bar - 500,
BYREDO - Mojave Ghost,
Alaïa - Alaïa
and the candle "Varenna" from Eight and Bob.
I HAVE WAITED FOR THIS FOR SO LONG!!!
Sounds weird but I'd really recommend 'Vanillary' fragrance from LUSH. It has Tonka, jasmine and vanilla obviously but it is somehow the most addictive, warming (but non - sickly) perfume ever. Everyone always asks me what it is when I wear it too! X
Obsessed with the Trish McEvoy Mandarin and Ginger Lily this summer.
Hi Fleur! I love the Repetto perfumes. The classic one smells like a deep honey to me. A definite autumn/winter scent for me. I also have the eau florale from them. Definitely a more floral spring/summer scent. Not too sweet (I neither like too sickly sweet scents), but the floral notes and the deep honey (just on the background) are lovely! I don't know if the brand is available in the UK, but in the Netherlands it is available at ICI Paris shops. I definitely recommend them, even for the bottle design alone. I mean, what girl doesn't like rose-gold and pink? Look 'em up, I think you'll like it!
Not sure if these are amber perfumes, but these are the ones I love the most: My Burberry Black, CHLOE, Armani Acqua di Gioia (this one is definitely not, it's very fresh), Marc Jacobs Decadence, and Charlotte Tilbury Scent of a Dream
I must try this one -Chanel Coco Madamoiselle!
hi gorgeous. you absolutely have to try from Guerlain Bois d'Armenie
from Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier Ambre Precieux
Le Labo Labdanum
I think you will love Hermes Ambre Narguile. I bought it for my wedding after receiving a small sample. It is just the best smell in the world...
Dear Fleur,
congrats on your pregnancy, first of all 😊🤰🏼💐!
Would you mind telling us which watch you're wearing? It looks lovely from the glimpses, I got from it. 😊
I'm looking for a high quality watch to buy, which is classic but still sporty and feminine.
Maybe you could also do something about current watches for her/him in different categories or price ranges. I would love that! 😘
I love your perfume collections because they are unique and you have so much to say I can tell you really spent time thinking about them. The nirvana bourbon is on my purchase list - I got a roller ball and fell in love. I am almost finished a nirvana black as well the whole range is awesome!
Try Soho Bond No 9. It is so unique! It's a NYC based brand but I'm pretty sure you can find it in the UK at Harrods, or stop by Saks next time you're in NYC! I think you'll love it. I've literally never smelled it on anyone before.
I got given a bottle of YSL Young Sexy Lovely by my college boyfriends uncle -- it was my first ever scent and in such a pretty girly bottle. I don't wear it anymore but it's still such a special perfume to me. My current favorite is Jo Malone peony and blush suede!
I loved this Fleur as Fragrance to me can actually evoke emotions and trigger such special memories like of my precious Mum who's signature scent was Chanel NO 5 just one little sniff and I can close my eyes and for that instant she is standing right beside me once more with memories so so beautifully wonderful that just come flooding back. Then my precious Aunt Violet who's fav was Estée Lauder white linen and again fill me with such emotion when I smell it, truly priceless. Thank you for this Fleur, what was your wedding day scent ? 😘💖💖😘
Hi Fleur, I've also quite a perfume collection, not as designer as yours but my current favourites are Mark Jacobs Decadence, Versace Bright Crystal and I love Euphoria by Calvin Klein. 💙
Hi Fleur, try the Replica perfume called by the fireplace from Maison Margiela. I feel you would like it and it is also a unisex fragrance.
I have worn and wear several different perfumes, but my signature scent is honey from Marc Jacobs. I wore it on my wedding day and I always have a bottle of it around
