I love this idea Lizzie!! I mean most of what I bought in those few years pre-‘no-buy’ were blind buys, so…I cannot judge the act of blind buying!! I loved L’eau Couture, always got complimented on that one. So sad it was discontinued.
Thanks Cherie, although blind buying has been exciting for most of my years of being into fragrance, I'm starting to feel it more as anxiety. And money wasting, so hopefully I'll be more sensible from now on. I don't hear anyone else talk about Leau Couture, glad to hear someone else mention it. It's very pretty and easy to wear
Yes, I am so loving this! We share a lot of similar fragrances, so I love love a review from you! Wanting French Kiss and Rose Rouge now! Many thanks, Lizzie!❤️🌹
No body want shake n vac 😂 I loved those adverts! L'eau couture I just about remember the hype over and I certainly remember it over dancing roses. I've come around to rose rouge, I really appreciate that one now. I also tried to buy Burberry edt but the seller sent me the EDP so I returned it... I gave up 😂 Yes I know what you mean with angel nova, it's fizzy, like a can of pink 70s pop. I get what you mean about the orb bottles from Kilian, they were ridiculous 😂 I know you love velvet tonka 😊 French kiss was a find! Fab video 👌
'You get the shake and vac, and put the freshness back. . ' 🤣🤣🤣 Could just be my nose, but i really get that vibe. I don't remember any hype over Leau Couture, i just bought it because honestly, I was keen to see what pale green juice would smell like, and i was into almond scents at time. Yes Nova is a blast of fun and fizzy drinks for sure. If you want to try My Burberry edt, you know I'll send you some. I think the sample list is getting long now 🤣. So many you've not yet tried. Let me know anything you are keen to sample.
Ha ha sorry for that ear worm! Thanks so much Tracy, and yes I've found some real gorgeous fragrances. I guess it almost works out as a 1 in 10 ratio of success 🤣
The colour changes because the vanilla is aging, which you kinda want. The alcohols burn off some of the oils and age the vanilla, which intensifies the scent.
Hiya, yes vanilla does make the liquid stronger which is a good thing, though not sure how good the quality of the vanilla is in the Elie Saab, could just be an aged thing with the colourant. Main thing is the perfume still smells good. Thanks for watching
I love dancing roses! Sad discontinued. I have two argos TOB and Danae, and I think they will be great in winter, like Danae best. That rose rouge sounds lovely ❤
Good to see a video from you Lizzy! 🌹 It's a thrill when a blind buy is good and such a let down when it ends up not living up to expectations. It looks like you have had a number of successful purchases. I wonder if Place Vendome sells French Kiss in the Bee Bottle? I know they are the only store that still sells Gourmand Coquin this way (very expensive). Perhaps French Kiss is made and sold in batches the same way? That store seems to have some rare and discontinued scents for sale. I am not going to go asking them... I am a little curious but not enough to inquire about it. I am wondering if beyond the Argos fragrance, if you have a list of disappointing blind buys. I imagine you would have sold those bottles and they would be long gone from your collection. Have a great day! 💛 ~ Jenn
Hey Jenn, you make some good points. I've heard about the Gourmand Coquin being sold in the bee bottles, I've not heard about French Kiss. Perhaps because it wasn't quite as popular. And also possibly because of Rose Cherie being being created as a new interpretation. But always worth looking into. A video on all my unsuccessful blind buys would be embarrassing 🤣. There's sooooo many. But I'll definitely think about it for when i get free time. That would be a super long video. 😳
I was so worried that it would pull like Lipstick Rose, or The Rose from Musicological. But so pleased that it doesn't. Wish it was a little stronger, but i do love it. ❤️
I almost have all the fragrances in this video ( apart from a few like sand dance and kilian) and seems we have the same likes in scent profile! I adore ysl blouse and it could easily be my signature scent but dnt use it everyday as it's expensive. I wanted to know if you have angel nova edt? The edp for some reason I dnt like the dry down although I love the opening- and sometimes give me headache. Would love to know you thoughts xx new subscriber xx❤
Hiya, thanks for commenting. I've never tried Nova Edt. . I probably should ask I'm sure i would enjoy it but it might be too similar to many other things i have. Yes, blouse is so pretty. That's lovely for a signature. X
Well yes blind buying is a risky thrill that we all dabble in. Someone influenced me to a blind buy mania of Amouages last year. These Argos ones, I've never really been overly drawn yet. Apart from your good self I've never really seen much from normal people. And the reviews I've seen they've always been "the best most incredible masterpieces ever made" but then they've never described them really... Shake N' Vac ey 🤣 keeps the freshness. I'd never heard of this L'eau catuer. The Elie Saab ones have always been quite pleasant. It sounds pleasant enough. Dancing Roses and me weren't really friends... More me sitting on the seat bitterly watching it dance with all the other folks there to Ed Sheeran. I can see why you love it. The V&C one sounds pleasant indeed and yes very you 😊. My Burberry is a very pleasant one. Shows that cost has nothing to do with how lovely something can be. Plastic sweetpea clearly works. I more wear my mac and wellies in the autumn for that full effect 😅. I can't remember Rose Peonia, I smelt this didn't I? Shampoo peony probably wouldn't be a love for me. Wet and refreshing sounds pleasant. Angel Nova... Wow 😳🙄 the riskiest blind buy in the world ever 🤣. Yea I've heard some folks love this one. Yes Blouse, I remember this one not being my sausage butty. A bit sharp on me. Ah Paris Paris Paris rose, that didn't quite vibe with me. Well as a picky rose intolerant that was going to happen. 😅 Which tree tastes the best tho Lizziebet? Princess is a very pleasant one indeed. Not bad at all and very easy. I quite like the old bottles. Especially my shiny gold one that I can see my old face in 😅. Ah the BDK 🤣 I wish I'd got marzipan from it. I think sadly it's not a house for me, yes too close it's in a word... A polite word... Nope I can't think of one 😂. You're a big almond lover tho. It will probably smell fab on you. Sand Dance. I sat in the middle with this one. Was just too potent for my huge schnoz. And yes the non samples available from so called "niche" doesn't show they have much confidence in their fragrances. Bless u sneezy. French kiss. I'm looking very forward to sniffing. We know I love my lippy. Can't beat rose and violet. I think I must be a baby wipe lover 🤣. Yes I can struggle with that guerlainade. Glad you loved it. I've not had too many blind buys. Maybe I'll have to do this video. U know me idea stealing 😉 Very happy to see you back. And great video geezer. Yes the blind buy queen.
I think UA-cam should have a word limit 🙄 🤣 thanks for spending what seems like a whole day on replying and commenting on every single one of my blind buys. Love how committed you are to ensuring there's a hefty word count. Good thing I'm taking 5 minutes out of my day to chill and read something positively thrilling. Words from the legendary jondalf are a treat. And I'm sooooo excited to see what you think of French Kiss. Dam i need a back up bottle already. Hope you noticed that Nimbus made an appearance especially for you. 👍 Thanks Jon, for your continued support and encouragement. X
@@roseandjones8390 yes 😊 i heard u say didn't see him 😱 ill have to watch again. Yes French kiss is a scarey one to try. Well I get paid by the word 🤣 so gotta keep the waffle going
Most of my favorite fragrances were blind buys and although I would never advise others to do it, it generally works out for me. Great video Lizzie.
Thanks as always Jim, always lovely to see you in the comments. And yes, blind buying is for those who accept risk 🤣.
I really love your fragrance choices, and your collection is amazing. Congrats on get a Guerlain French Kiss.
I love this idea Lizzie!! I mean most of what I bought in those few years pre-‘no-buy’ were blind buys, so…I cannot judge the act of blind buying!! I loved L’eau Couture, always got complimented on that one. So sad it was discontinued.

Thanks so much. Hope you can get your nose on Rose Rouge. French Kiss will unfortunately be harder to come across 👍
Hi Lizzie 😊
Angel Nova🌟!!!
It’s great when your blind buys turn out to be fragrantly wonderful!
Take Care🪻
Angel Nova is a fire cracker 🤣. Thanks for watching
I’ve had really successful blind buys, alien essence absolue, Versace yellow Diamond, love don’t be shy, Simone andreoli Malibu, Kilian princess
Lots of great ones there, it's so exciting when the blind buys work out well 👍
No body want shake n vac 😂 I loved those adverts!
L'eau couture I just about remember the hype over and I certainly remember it over dancing roses. I've come around to rose rouge, I really appreciate that one now. I also tried to buy Burberry edt but the seller sent me the EDP so I returned it... I gave up 😂

Oh and yes French Kiss. .so pleased with that one.
And glad to hear Rose Rouge is finally winning you over 👍🌹
Really nice discoveries! Thanks for sharing!
Hey Christie 👍xxx
Really enjoyed the video on my break from housework (shake n vac song now firmly in my head:). Many lovely beauties there and successful choices!🎉🌹

Dancing Roses is stunning. It's really a shame that it's now unavailable. Rose Rouge has a similar sweetnes but more of typical fruit patchouli style.
Good to see a video from you Lizzy! 🌹

Hey Lizzie!!!!So ready for your review 💖
Thanks Marcy xxx
I adore Jumpsuit by YSL ❤ Its like the baby of Blouse.
I have tried Jumpsuit but it didn't work out for me. Peach if i remember rightly 👍
@@roseandjones8390 Oh I see what you mean. Makes sense.
