I just got Want Pink Ginger in the other day! I haven't given it a full wear yet, but my first impressions were also that it was surpringly more a floral-vanilla and not the cake batter/foody vanilla that I'd been expecting. Not sure quite what to make of it yet... but it doesn't seem boring.
Yes! I was expecting cake batter too! What a good description! I'll await your review! I would love to try the pink ginger too. Original want feels mainly heliotrope to me, even though the vanilla is there, it feels background.
Aaah you got Want, I wear it a lot when I go running in the early morning and it works really well in the cold and lingers for ages. I can't stand that lid either!!!
Lol haven't done any planned physical exercise since 2001, never been in a gym or run ever! I will wear it lazing in front of a TV 😴 🐨 I bet it is good in the cold! 🥰
It's totally the one that stood out from the cloud that the shop assistant made with the entire line 😂 it's made me really interested in the rest of them! ❤️
@@dr.claire.perfume I have the Ginger Piccante. It’s splendid but it does turn into a predominantly Rose note fragrance. They are meant to mix and match. The Guerlain website has suggestions on what to mix together.
oh you got Want ! :D it does sounds really good and yummy ! and Insolence too! i want to try the eau de parfum version... you got some amazing additions Claire ! Coconut FIzz is so beautiful! i smelled that one last summer.. and wanted to get it... kinda pricey paying for it retail though.. and we never have huge sales or discounts here :D
Yes! I got the EDP of insolence and was impressed, I always wondered whether I'd prefer the EDT. I will sample it and and see, but so far, the EDP is good! The only reason the shop I went to had 50% off all fragrance apart from Dior and Chanel (deary me, it even included Tom Ford!!!) was because they were competing for custom after reopening with another department store that was shutting down after 240 years. People were queuing around the block for the closing down sale. The competitor sale got ended early by 10 days as they basically ran out of stock! All you had to do was sign up for their points card, it was a one time offer. I was so tempted by lots of things, I just had to leave the shop! I think if there had been testers, I likely would have bought more. I did find the 2019 Eau croisiere so I bought that because it was £17. I have since resold it for £100! It is really rare in the UK and I didn't feel I needed it with having the 2020. So glad that I bought it though, it paid for insolence and coconut fizz!
I definitely want to check out Coconut Fizz but am just waiting for it to get to the discount sites! Coconut scents are really hit or miss with me, but this one sounds promising, and I've had good luck with the range so far. I've blind bought 5 Aqua Allegorias over the years, and only one of them was a miss (Teazzura); three are loves; and then the last one is a "gorgeous but almost never in the mood to wear it for some reason" (Lys Soleia). Honestly have never noticed longevity issues with any of them? I half wonder if people aren't just saying that reflexively since that's the thing other people say. Fun haul!
Enjoyed your review of DSquared2 Want. I have it. Hate the bottle. Find the fragrance morphs with environmental factors. Agree that Insolence is one you have to give time. I like it a lot! Nice girly powdery fragrance. Coconut 🥥 Fizz is on my "WANT" list.
Haha! I wondered whether you had it, but I also couldn't remember it in your coconut fragrances video! I am still thinking about Dolce garden and also sjp nyc crush! 😉
Insolence is very nostalgic - you’re right! It’s so comforting and pretty. I’ve gone so far as to mist a tiny bit on my bedsheets/pajamas on some nights - how insolent of me! 😉
Yes! Definitely great for if you need an extra snooker / pool / billiard ball. The bottle actually feels like it is really good quality it is really heavy! Thanks for watching 😘
I’m absolutely fascinated by your review on WANT !! I have to say that depending when you wear it ,the different notes will come out and hit you up the face when you least expect it !! Insolence is so stunning 🤩 and gives me such a calming and magical feel ( I have the original spaceship bottle EDP and it smells different from the edt ) I would like to grab the edt
It's a weird one! I really like it though! It wasn't what I was expecting. I totally get that it is the kind of fragrance to smell different in different conditions. Yes I thought of you as I was buying insolence! I thought Frances said to try this months ago, you were totally right!!!! 🥰
Boots, in store, clearance, they had 30ml for £20 and 50ml for £30. I got the 50ml cos I wasn't sure I would like it and that size sells better on eBay if I ended up not liking it. Happily I love it! The coconut fizz was a house of Fraser deal on at the end of April. 50% off ALL beauty, exc Dior and Chanel. I had to leave that shop quickly! 😂
AA are on par with Jo Malone in terms of longevity but at least they're a lot cheaper. I love Pamplelune and Ginger Piccante. Good question about Insolence's name. I love my Guerlain classics and it's like a modern energetic version of L'Heure Bleue, Vol De Nuit and Apres L'Ondee.
I really wanted to spend time trying them. The shop assistant had other ideas... I will check those two out! Thanks for narrowing the field for me! I need to try more of the Guerlain classics too! I hear so many people love Guerlain classics. 💕
Coconut Fizz was my scent of the day today and I loved it! It lasted a long time on me, I was surprised! I also own Manadarin and Basilic but this one goes away in an hour or two...
That's really interesting! I was so impressed by the longevity of coconut fizz. Really glad that I tested it before buying to make sure. I would love to try more from the line if the shop assistant will slow down enough with spraying to let me! 🤣
That DSquared fragrance sounds interesting. Do I need another perfume? No, but if I see it I might be tempted based on what you said. 😊 Thanks for sharing! Xxx
It's a good cheapie for sure, but I don't like that it's not around in shops for people to try... It just encourages blind buying which is not always good.
The first one sounds interesting i like the vanilla and heliotrope 💜, also i've been eyeing for insolence for a long time now but im always hesitant, tfs 🙂❤️
I wandered around the shop with insolence a few times I'll admit! I spent a good 30 mins thinking do I want this? Really pleased that I picked it up though. Wore it yesterday, wearing it today too! 😘
Insolence was from Boots. They were discontinuing selling the bottles in store a few months ago. I've not seen any recently and I never saw them discounted on the website. I saw that you could get insolence online for a bit less than normal. Coconut fizz I got from house of Fraser for £31.50, they were having an everything 50% off sale when Debenhams were closing down to compete with them. Not sure which perfume you are referring to so answered for both.
Ok, I will add those to my list to try! The second one sound like an orange ice cream. Who knows, maybe that shop assistant sprayed them and just didn't tell me?! Thanks for watching!
I ordered D squared wanted but my bottle was lost on the way from the UK 😔 I might just get a refund and order the kayali vanilla as that is easily available in Canada. Insolence was very interesting to me but I ended up giving it to my mother as I thought it suited her more, I might revist it later in life.
Oh no! What are the chances of that?! 😲 I can definitely see that insolence is one of those scents that is powdery and makeupy, it has a bit of an old school vibe. So yes maybe something to revisit in later life. I like it probably because it feels a bit vintage without being aldehyde based. Thanks so much for watching 😘
The D squared sounded ok, it was everywhere How dare you be so insolent 😉 it's called that cos it is 😉. What sort of a crazy fool would declutter that 😱 £30 bloody hell. One of the best bargains. It's absolutely bloody gorgeous. I'm partial to a bit of violet. I really can't remember trying this but i must have 🤣. It sounds quite pleasant indeed. I find it weird this doesn't have conditioner and a tonne of ambroxan... 🤔 The bottle looks very lovely and classy. Consider me subscribed
I still really like that Dsquared although now I'd describe it totally differently 🤣 Yes insolence was a total bargain! I couldn't believe my eyes. 👀 LOL yes coconut fizz does need some shampoo and ambroxan, that's missing, and it's the poorer fragrance for it. It was so cheap too, £32 for 75ml, I would much rather pay £69 for 50ml for a wannabe, with a cheaper looking bottle and some home made unlabelled samples. What on earth were Guerlain thinking 🤣 I feel better for that vent 🤣
I think i saw happinesssparkles review this and i bought it Its a stunning vanilla floral woody fragrance Loved it so much after i bought a 30ml i then bought a 100ml My favourite vanilla xx
I was a bit scared that I'd regret the EDP but so far I like it. I will go to the Guerlain counter and try the EDT though at some point! I wonder which I would have bought if I'd have had two testers in front of me?! I always thought from reviews that I would prefer the EDT actually 🤷♀️
@@valhasviews I will! I am super curious so I will probably do it soon! The ladies on the Guerlain counter likely have mugshots of me in their back room though! I've been visiting them quite a bit recently 😂
I L💜VE Insolence edt!!! I adore the frosted bee bottle so I hope they don’t change that. I just bought the original bottle edp.
I'd love to know if that rumour is true! Honestly I was so impressed by insolence! Which do you prefer? The EDT?
@@dr.claire.perfume I prefer the edt💜
@@christineriche6752 ok, I will go to sample it next time I am in store!

Dsquared bottle is so cool. Interesting how you described the scent.
Would be really handy if you were faced with an intruder. They wouldn't come back!
Great haul!!!❤️❤️❤️You're correct that Want is getting pretty hard to find
Thanks! I can imagine it is near impossible outside of Europe! Here in the UK it is plentiful but prices are going up. 😘
Coconut Fizz sounds so good, I’ve been interested in it for a while. I’m happy to hear that it lasted longer than expected. Lovely haul 😍❤️
Thanks Chantel! If you like freesia and bergamot as well as green coconut, it's a winner! 💕
Coconut fizz is one of my favourite scent at the moment. Bottle is gorgeous and longevity is so good totally agree
Yes! It's really refreshing and fun! Glad I chose that one over some of the other coconut fragrances that I tested. 🌴
Oooo glad to hear that about the la nuit Tresor nude! Sounds enticing!
Yes! I was really impressed by LNT nude! It really tempted me!
Aaah you got Want, I wear it a lot when I go running in the early morning and it works really well in the cold and lingers for ages. I can't stand that lid either!!!

Yes that's exactly it, it's fun! 👍
Ohh yea coconut fizz is definitely on my wishlist!
It's good, but I think the aqua allegoria line generally are something I could really get into. They are so fresh and summery!
I also bought Dsquared Want, but the pink one! 💕
I couldn't find that one! It sounds interesting... I wondered whether the ginger would be more prominent here but I don't smell it 🤷♀️

Maybe that's it! I've only ever tried this one so I can't say. I had been looking for a coconut scent for months 😂
Yaaay! You bought the coconut fizz. I’m looking forward to wearing it out during summer.
Me too!!! I am waiting for a night in a pub garden or at someone's house! I can't wait to go out and enjoy myself in it! It's been a long time!!!!
I want to get more into guerlain, good to know. I definitely will try to test them out first.
Guerlain fragrances seem to be distinctive, they have something that makes you think, yes, that's Guerlain!
I bought Coconut Fizz recently. I really like it 🙌🙌👏👏👏
It's lovely! Very refreshing! I'm looking forward to trying it in summer when it's really warm. ☀️🕶️😄

The bottle for Dsquared2 Want super cute. Too bad it was discontinued
The 30ml looks a bit alien like I admit, almost 60s space race!
