After watching this video, I could literally hear you and almost smell the perfumes you described. I mean, girl, you're AMAZING! I bought Idôle Aura, and it was a blind buy. I just LOVE it; it's exactly like you described it. You're a GENIUS. ♥ I'm a FAN, Anne!
Omg! Thank you. I finally know what patchouli actually smells like! By luck, I had a little left of my coco mademoiselle intense sample and tested on skin and the drydown is very much I imagined a patchouli dominant scent to smell like. I definitely like the smell but my friends and family hate it on me. They say it's too mature for my age (which is 18 fyi) but I can't help but like it. It's too much for a signiture scent but I see why you like it!
Want to start a collection and this helps! I've been enjoying the discovery journey in finding out what notes I like. I'm so happy I found your videos ❤️
Needed this one today! My friends hubby asked what perfume to get her for vday. She has like one perfume. I have….too many. I was like omg where to start someone?? So this was very helpful!!!
Love your videos, I bought the Coco Chanel Madem Body oil, for I have a sample of the perfume, I am slowly starting my little perfume collection, thanks to you & some other lovely lady's like you that teach me so much about fragrance, I love the time/fun/effort you put into these videos, they are simply Awesome! By the way, I don't care if a lot of people have the same popular scent, I'm not around those people, who cares, I just love smelling good & love, it makes me feel good!
I'm a new subscriber and a beginner.. I love your videos, but I'd really appreciate it if you would repeat the name of the fragrance you're talking about. I had a tough time keeping up, especially because I am not familiar with alot of the fragrances you're talking about! I had to rewind alot! Hope you read this! Thanks 😊
Based on your raccomandations i got a miniature for Idole Aura and i bought second hand My Guerlain (in Europe we have Vintade, it's very easy to find miniature or open bottles so basically it's like sampling). I both adore them. Mon Guerlain is so crisp, comfy, reassuring and Aura...Well to me is classy sexy. It is bright and happy yes but the salty note makes it soooooooo sexy, like you are just out from the Sea. I think I will buy a set for Aura. Now I am waiting for my miniature of Chloe Nomade Absolu. Thank you Anna!
Hi beautiful! Um sooo.. I purchased orientica amber rouge & you were spot ON! Total dupe for baccarat! I think I’m going to get oud saffron next! Love your channel… & am anxious to watch it grow and grow! You have an amazing nose & I hope you come out w your own scent
Love this. Your description and facial expressions remind me of E’s Morgan Stewart of Necessary Realness. So engaging. Thanks for great recommendations. That coconut fizz is on my next sample buy
Great video, Anne 🙂 You have so many good suggestions. I’m craving woody notes right now. Also, having fun planning for lighter, crisp Spring/Summer fragrances. Nomade Absolu 🌲 and Coconut Fizz ☀️seem ideal for coastal Southern California. Do you pick up a prominent musk note in Nomade Absolu?
Thank you! Yeah I’m excited to film spring content 🥰🌸! I can pick it up but it’s definitely not a main player, it’s all about the oak moss, mirabelle, and wood!
I have a confession, I do not like vanilla :( It's because the first perfume I ever owned was basically pure sweet vanilla and I choked my 7th grade self out with it on the daily until I couldn't even look at it anymore. There is a lesson there, but I didn't learn it and now I can't drink raspberry vodka for the rest of my life. Whoops. I always watch your videos for info on musks and woody notes :)
I guess I'm the anomaly. Im not a strong/prominent vanilla lover😂 However I did order a bunch of samples from your Smell like a Fairy video and like them very much! Especially NO 5 and Ylang in Gold
Do you know of another fragrance that smells like the Jessica Simpson one that doesn't have almond or apricot? I love the way that perfume sounds but I am allergic to almond and apricots
You give me such a good vibe, as always! Great options for various categories of fragrances….I really need to blind buy Coconut Fizz and Teazzurra (this one is so hard to find, do you know it?). And thanks to you i just put Flowerbomb on my fall wishlist🥰
Cloud 2.0 and any type of baccarat rouge type perfume reminds me of the jurassic park ride at universal studios. Something about them reminds me of the misty damp smell on that ride 😆
Another great video with great suggestions. I have been into fragrance for years but nothing hits, like a good classic :) Amazing staples in this video. So sad fancy is a straight gardenia bomb on me!! wanted to love that one
I really want to try Guerlain fragrances but can’t find anywhere with reasonable samples. Any suggestions? Are there any US retailers that carry them in stores?
I got some aqua allegoria samples recently from a website called the perfumed court and had good luck with them! Macy's and sephora carry them but I don't think they're in stores :(
I bought the Coconut Fizz based on one of your previous videos. I have to say that I smell no coconut at all, just florals, even if I spray into the air or on a fragrance strip. Did I get a bad bottle? I purchased from Sephora so I am tempted to return. It is all floral and kind of warm I guess.
seriously?? I don't get that at allll. It's like 90% coconut water to me and the rest of the notes are supporting IMO. Since you got it from Sephora it should be legit, but that really surprises me, I suppose it's possible they could have accidentally sold a bad bottle. On Fragrantica as well coconut is voted the main note, but we all have different noses and pick up different things! I'm sorry you had a different experience :(!
@@AnneLauren I am going to exchange it and hope for the best. I love coconut in all forms as well as citrus so I still have hope. I will let you know how that goes. I have absolutely loved everything that I have tried that you have mentioned (one exception Delina - too much rose on me but I want to love it). Mon Guerlain OG and Kayali Vanilla 28 have been my everyday fragrances for a few years, and all niche recommendations that I have tried since finding your channel has been AMAZING! Bond Greenwich Village is fantastic and my new fave!
Guerlain will be discontinuing these fragrances due to the fact that there’s a new regulation stating any fragrances that have lily of The Valley or moss in it will have to be stopped being produced because of other people might be allergic to it lol 😆
Okay, I haven't finished the video yet but I've gotta jump in here. Since your channel was originally a makeup channel I'm wondering if you're familiar with Samantha ravndahl at all? Bc its an ongoing issue (curse) that her favorite/holy grail makeup products get discontinued and I'm sensing a similar pattern happening here with you. I mean, I HOPE I'm wrong, but... gourmand coquin, angel muse, coconut fizz, nirvana bourbon, fashionably London probably will be (bc zara does us dirty like that, I'm surprised Ebony wood is still available). So idk, if you're bringing the discontinued curse over to the fragrance world maybe you need to take one for the team and have worse taste so the good ones can still be available for the rest of us 🙃😉😝 also, sorry for your loss. I'm not sure if I want to buy it while it's still available or spare myself the grief of falling in love with it knowing I won't be able to get it again...
YES oh my gosh I adore her!! I feel like I have definitely contracted the curse 😭 whenever I hear that something is getting discontinued I feel the need to try it while I can still get it, FOMO 😅. Speaking of discontinued scents, I fell in LOVE with HOS Whispers of Truth .. looked it up on their website, and it says it’s limited edition 💔 Would you happen to know if it’s truly limited edition or if it’s just the current bottle style that’s limited?
@@AnneLauren ahh, no, I'm so sorry! I don't know for sure the status of whipers of truth. I was under the impression the fragrance itself was a staple and that they come out with extra fancy cupcake designs that are limited edition, and then there are flankers that are limited edition (like the noir version). I will do some research and see if I can find any answers!
Love your style of presenting. Looks, makeup, clothes and most importantly the way you describe fragrances ❤❤❤❤❤
Please do a layering video! I am so interested in what your favorite combinations are. Thank you for being you! Your content makes my day!
Oo yes!! I also post layering combos on my IG 🥰 and thank you so much, that means the most! ❤️
I agree Idole Aura is amazing! You are becoming one of my favorite UA-camrs!

Ok love the perfume recommendations but this sweater 😍
Thank you!! I found it in a little boutique in Michigan 🥰
Anne- amazing video, amazing content as usual. Is no one talking about the sweater?! Where is it from???
Hi beautiful! Um sooo.. I purchased orientica amber rouge & you were spot ON! Total dupe for baccarat! I think I’m going to get oud saffron next!
Love your channel… & am anxious to watch it grow and grow! You have an amazing nose & I hope you come out w your own scent
yesss!! I'm so glad you love it!! And thank you so much Kali, that would be a dream 😍
I love your video! Omg! I love Libre EDT as well. I had Aqua di Parma, but I don’t love it enough. So I decided to give it to my colleague.
You kill it with this video! LOVE IT!!
thank you!
Yesss...you surprisses me 💕 .I 've been waithing for this 💞 .
Enjoy your videos and I’m buying way too much perfume cause of you, Demi and Josephine. OY!
Ok, I need everything you talk about! 😆😆
😆❤️
Hey lovely
I get so excited to see your videos!!! And love your recommendations 🥰
Yay! Thank you! ❤️
I am now going to renew my need to smell Guerlain Coconut fizz. Cause if I dig it - I need to get it. Since we're in Cali we can wear year round :)
yes!! A California staple 😍
Awesome vid, I ordered fashionably London btw since the ebony wood was such a hit, can’t wait to get it!!💕💕🙌🏼
Oo I hope it’s another hit for you! ❤️
@@AnneLauren just got it a day or so ago, and just wow, it is exactly as you described it, and absolutely beautiful!!!🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️
@@MelBscents amazing!! I’m so happy 😁❤️!
Elizabeth and James, Bourbon is a celeb fragrance, don’t forget. Mary Kate and Ashley Olson.
Love this. Your description and facial expressions remind me of E’s Morgan Stewart of Necessary Realness. So engaging. Thanks for great recommendations. That coconut fizz is on my next sample buy
Thank you! Yesss I fully support this 😉👏🏼
You’re awesome 🎉& the puns are doin it for me 🔥
This is so useful! I’m so happy I found your channel😍
I'm so glad! ❤️
I love Cassili more than Delina! I think because of the Plumeria flower note, i LOVE Plumeria...i wish it had more projection and wear time tho
Great video, Anne 🙂

Awe thank you Andreea! ❤️ I have tried Teazzurra! not FB for me personally but I do think it’s a great scent :)
@@AnneLauren then i think i’ll just blind buy Coconut Fizz🤔
LOVE Aura by Lancome, one of the best and a huge complement getter!
Yes!! 🙌🏼

lolll 😅

thank you! Awe, luckily I don't get that, I'm not a fan of gardenia either 🥴!
You have to try the new Nomade Naturelle, it's absolutely beautiful.
It's out already?? I've been waiting! 😍
@@AnneLauren I live in Germany and was able to buy it today. 🤩🤩🤩
@@pustekuchen Oo lucky!! Mini review? 😁
I like it too but I do think it smells like a guave tropical hair mask from the hairdressers. Which smells really good but yeah, hairmasky.
I really want to try Guerlain fragrances but can’t find anywhere with reasonable samples. Any suggestions? Are there any US retailers that carry them in stores?
I purchase my samples from the sites listed in the description box! I'm not sure if Ulta or Sephora have them in store to test 🤔
I got some aqua allegoria samples recently from a website called the perfumed court and had good luck with them! Macy's and sephora carry them but I don't think they're in stores :(
@@jbei9981 oh I’m glad you were able to find some!!
@@AnneLauren Yes! And of course coconut fizz was my fave so now I'm panic buying
@@jbei9981 I definitely think it’s the stand out from the line! 😍🥥🌴
How come i just found you! Subscribed !
Eyy so happy to have you here! 🥰
I thought I was an anomaly but vanilla is cute to me only when it’s combined with other scents.
I bought the Coconut Fizz based on one of your previous videos. I have to say that I smell no coconut at all, just florals, even if I spray into the air or on a fragrance strip. Did I get a bad bottle? I purchased from Sephora so I am tempted to return. It is all floral and kind of warm I guess.

Omg a fairy munchkin baby 🤣🤣☁️
I've noticed that you never seem to mention the Libre range. Are you not a fan of the scent?

@@laurenzieger9617 haha it’s okay, thank you!
Candyland? Why am I adding this to cart now 😂 also adding coconut fizz and fashionably London tysm but not
🤣🤣 xx
I too love the Coconut Fizz! That will be hard to find a coconut scent that is not an expensive tanning lotion dupe….
Right?? So tired of those scents 😒
Nah! My favorite is vanilla Woods. Just lovely
Squealed when I say the video title!!!
I really hate mossy, earthy, herbally notes. They make me gag. Idk why...
Omg I hate cloud. Lasted about 5 minutes on me.
I get annoyed by people who only like water for perfume🤣🤣🤣 Why would u spend so much money on perfume when no one could smell it?!
You're so sarcastically funny.
I hate vanilla😃
Mon Guerlain smells like depressed housewife 😂
It takes a lot of 💰 & a nose - not complicated
