never really thought about this watching fragrance reviews but I really liked that this was samples. Way more relatable than "hey everyone, i just dropped $8,000 on new perfumes and half of them are blind buys, no big deal". Plus, we probably get helpful insights about more options this way. It's also so respectable that you're transparent if you already have enough or too many in a category and showing restraint by using what you have when it's working for you. I'd love to see more like this or even the occasional decluttering process if you ever do something like that to make room for new scents that are more unique in your assortment or just to really use and appreciate your top favorites more. Well done & thanks a million for this useful content 🙌🏼
I bought the Laboratorio Olffativo discovery set 2 wks ago just to try Vanagloria (Im not willing to pay Babycat prices). It instantly went to the top of my full bottle wishlist. The over-ripe, leathery pineapple top, with the spicey, almost peppery vanilla mid to dry down was the kind of vanilla Id been missing out on. It was an amazing discovery to say the least. Keep up the good work Gabby!! ❤❤
Like you, I had tried a lot of Mancera perfumes and none of them worked for me. That was until I tried Amore Caffe. I FELL IN LOVE!! Tried the sample and ordered a bottle not even thirty minutes later. So now I actually own a Mancera perfume that I'm head over heels for! 😂
The marshmallow one got better qith time- but its definitely a layering frag to boost that note in other feags! Was curious to hear your thoughts on Sunkussed Goddess... does it smell like sunscreen? Soleil Blanc like at all???? Or is it JUST greener white flowers? I usually share your feag preferences, BUT, I ❤ sunscreen vibes and was really hoping this would give that... i almost blind bought it as soon as it launched! Please share more thoughts!!!!
Sunkissed Goddess is a true summery beachy scent. Comparing it with Soleil Blanc, I would say SG is warmer and thicker. Bit of neroli in opening, following tropical flowers with coconut and vanilla. Def sunscreen vibe.
I was avoiding Mancera for the longest time, and the first I tried was Amore Cafe, and I looove it, I am getting a bottle of it this month 😍 another one I loved on my skin was Melody of the sun, the rest are meh for now, but I definetly have to try them on my skin❤️ and yes, I love videos like this, also, I would really love an updated video on the clean musky scents that you love, because I know you hate musk in general, but there are some that are spectacular and not boring❤️
Hello this is LaTonya love when your videos come on I watch your videos all the time when you come on I will be adding your new perfume to my collection in the bottle is beautiful love when you do videos like this on your Channel I will always support you
If you have not smelled Tihota, which you orobably haven’t because you would remember it, you must! You also need Nemat vanilla musk. Not the oil, the edt.
Hi Gabby, I really enjoy this type of video - quick reviews of new samples/releases. It lets me know what's out there and worth sampling. Please do more of them! I got so interested when you started talking about getting Guidance or Love Delight. I've been trying to make the same decision myself! I have a decant of Guidance and love the beautiful drydown but haven't pulled the trigger because I have to wait 30 minutes before that drydown kicks in. The first half hour smells a bit odd to/on me. 😆I tested Love Delight in store and liked it but is it worth $380? If it was half the price I would have bought it, but it's just too much money for that kind of scent. I ordered a sample so I could test it properly and think about it some more. Let me know what you decide! We have very similar tastes in fragrance.
Gabby I love all your content and over half of my collection 200+ bottles have been on your recommendation keep doing as you do those of us that have followed you for years we get it ❤
I LOVE Amore Caffe. I'm so sad you don't enjoy Mancera. Try Instant Crush layered with Bianco Latte. It tones it down and I get people chasing me down every single time dyyyying over how delicious I smell.
I tend to really enjoy the fragrances you love. I did not like guidance at all. However, you should wear love delight on your skin. It’s gorgeous. I bought it immediately after sampling it.
I have a love and hate relationship with Guidance. I bought it when it first released while I was traveling in Spain - so I was stuck with it 😂. I did try it in store and liked it. Then I sprayed it at home and was confused. I continued to test it and found it smells different on me on any given day. The other day, I read a comment left on AI The Great’s channel. The person said to match Guidance with Love Delight - I was skeptical but tried it. Truth is Love Delight kind of tamed down Guidance and I really liked it!
Hi Gabby hope you are well. I know all of your videos are about perfume, but you mentioned fashion in this video. Maybe you could do a video about what kind of fashion houses you like and designers you like. And maybe mix some perfume reviews with it. Just a thought, take care look forward to seeing another video from you.😊🌞🌸💖
I just got Manakara!! I had to back order even in the U.S. Its like soft and faint on but it’s one that takes you on a journey and gets better and stronger on skin as the day goes on. I’m still getting to know it so I can’t say that it is a love yet. Candied lychee and slightly smoky rose is what I get.
@@imanee2208 The longevity is good! I can smell it all day until I wash it off. It changes throughout the day which I enjoy. I do have to put my nose up to my skin so the projection is questionable. Other people have complimented me the two times I’ve worn it though so I’m wondering if it’s one that others can still smell on you even though it may disappear on you like a Baccarat.
Amouage’s new packaging for the Secret Garden bottles is so disappointing! I literally just got Love Mimosa in the mail today, but I purchased it from one of the gray market stores so I could have the shiny silver hardware. All my others Blossom, Tuberose and Lilac are shiny. Since Love Delight is new and probably never made with the old packaging, I guess I’ll have to settle for… that. It’s going to mess up my Garden look. FDB- Voyage/Paris is beautiful, but for cooler weather for me. I just put it on the storage shelf until fall.
Gabby you look so stunning! That top is so sexy and flirty! I love it! I am rewatching this video because I could hardly concentrate on the fragrance! Hahahahah #bossB!tćh vibes!!!!
I had a similar response to tonkandy. But I haven’t done an extensive test. I absolutely love blind buying too. But I tell myself blind buying a sample or a decant is also blind buying. I just got about 20 samples/decants and it’s exciting! My problem starts when I love one and I want a bottle immediately. 😂 I am trying to hold out for sales later in the year.
Blind buying doesn't include samples..... that's the literal opposite of blind buying. You're sampling a fragrance before buying a full bottle. Blind buying is when you buy the full bottle without smelling it first....common sense isn't so common anymore, is it?! 🙄🤦😂
@@chandracox6814 “but I tell myself…” meaning I am trying to convince myself to experience the joy of a trying a new perfume without buying the full bottle, by telling myself it’s a blind buy. Thank you 😬🙄🥱
This is not a clear well-organized video, not even the names on the screen and sometimes it is difficult to understand you, gorgeous. This really surprised me a lot from your channel.

Manakara - I get this slightly sweet (candied) litchi with a touch of rose. Then I get more of a candied berry

I have bought Love Delight from Amouage and Initio Narcotic Delight and I am in love with bough of them.

You mention that you have many jasmine fragrances. Please share which are your (Middle Eastern) favorite jasmine-heavy perfumes … maybe top 5
Have you tried Jasmine Wisp by La Yuqawam? It’s beautiful and also super beast mode.
I second this recommendation! It is beautiful.

I mixed Escapade Groumande with Coffee Addict and basically got Amore Cafe with a slightly more toasted smell ❤
Love love all your videos from New York 😊❤
Thank you ❤️

Interesting Guidance is not beast mode for me. I can hardly smell it. But I do get compliments

love kyse :). cacao noisette is amazing too...and bon bons a la vanille
Awesome videos!! Thanks for all the great content 😊🎉 Where are your earrings from ?
Great video- I love Voyage A Paris too, will buy it if I can find a good price.
I feel the same way about Love Delight- it’s beautiful but I do t really need another jasmine floral perfume
You changed something? You look even more beautiful

Oh lol... I was like isn't cosmic spelled with a C? Kardashian I got it.😂😂😂
Cosmic is supposed to be spelled with C.
That's true, but the letter K is so prominent in their family.
@stellarose5887 She is a Jenner not a Kardashian.
@@LoveandMissesbut her name starts with a K... It is about a play on letters and branding
@@LoveandMissesgood point
Gabby, I will happily trade you an unopened bottle of Manakara for your new release. I can send to you first since you don't know me 😊

Manakara is pretty old and to me, it is the ORIGINAL Delina but by Francis Kurdijan
This is not a clear well-organized video, not even the names on the screen and sometimes it is difficult to understand you, gorgeous. This really surprised me a lot from your channel.
They are on the screen did u even watch the video
She’s very meticulous about putting the perfumes in the description box. Sometimes I miss the names on the screen too.
