- Hey guys! In today's video, I'll be sharing my thoughts and review on my (mostly) blind buy fragrance haul! I got a mix of perfumes, ranging from terrible to amazing 😅. Among the gems, I may have found a fragrance far better than Replica's By the Fireplace, a beautiful freshie, the best dupe to Baccarat Rouge 540, and the best celebrity scent. 😁

Anna, my note vanille arrived!! Blind buy of course. Gorgeous!!!!
YESSSSS so glad you love it!!! 😍
@@AnneLauren my ups guy made me wait all day!!! I went without fragrance all day waiting on this. Lol
@@johannaperez63 jeeez I literally drove 25 min to go pick up my Gaiac bottle from UPS cause they would attempt delivery when I wasn’t home lol. And I do the same thing!! If I know something is coming in I won’t spray anything until it arrives so I can get the experience straight away 😆
@@AnneLauren yes!!! Wearing my note vanille today. Lovely lovely scent! U convinced me.
@@johannaperez63 😘😘😘
I love how honest you are about the performance, it's something that really matters to me with scents and a lot of youtubers can gloss over those details about how it actually wears, so I really appreciate knowing this kind of info (appreciate everyone's experience varies blah blah). Happy 10k, I can't enter as in the UK but you're one of my favourite perfume channels, so it's great you're getting the recognition!
I appreciate that Emma, thank you!!
Hey guys! So it's come to my attention that UA-cam is deleting comments that include Instagram handles 😒 So sorry for the inconvenience! In a week a winner will be chosen, I will reply to their comment, and we'll go from there so I can send you your goodies! Just wanted to post this so that no one stresses if their comment doesn't include an Instagram handle, I will consider you entered regardless :)
Yeah stupid youtube has deleted my comment twice now so I appreciate you recognizing this!!
@@chandracox6814 so annoying, 😫 sorry Chandra!
Yeah I was trying to tell you where to buy decants but it won’t post the comment
Which sucks because I know you would appreciate it because you can get them way cheaper than on the regular websites
@@jessiebop0 darn, luckily I found a place! $12 a sample though hah 🥴
Thanks for the review of the Orientica Amber Rouge and helped my confidence that I made a good choice. Hadn't smelled BR540 in a while and blind bought this for the wife. It's beastly stuff.
I just love your theatrics 😂 Your sadness with BR540 🤣 You always deliver great reviews but with a funny twist.
hahaha my parents have told me that ever since I was little, I've been extremely dramatic and animated 😅
Same! ❤️
Hiiii! Now that it was so hyped by everyone on u-tube, their saying there’s a latex smell to it?! No way! This is why no one should not jump the gun until we all have tried on our own. BK 540 is one of my favs and she is totally 💯 percent about Amber Rouge; identical to it. Love it
I like that you mention lasting power of these fragrances very useful when coming down to final decisions
I'm glad!
Fancy took me by surprise too. So much I bought fancy nights and I fancy you. They are all completely different. Fancy is often a bedtime scent for me. Love the giveaway of decants. Lots of fun!
Fancy was my signature scent for years before I became a fragrance addict lol. I mix it with VS vanilla body lotion and spray. Sooooo good girl ❤️
Oooh I’m so curious about the orientica! I’ve tried another dupe called Sweven and it was good at first but then yeah bandaids started creeping in and it’s all I could smell.
How do you feel about the baccarat 540 Extrait version in the red bottle??
Is the orientica a dupe for the extrait version? Is it still less latexy for you?
Sueded Oud is one of my favorite fragrances! It’s so hard to describe!! I get some sweetness as well.
Ugh it’s like nothing I’ve ever smelled! 😍
When you posted the pic of the Off bug spray…LOL! 🙂
I had to jump on the opportunity 😅
LOL! Right!
Obsessed with the way you describe scents!!
Love that you introduce me to some more masculine leaning fragrances! The other pages i’ve been following for years are mostly very feminine loving.
That makes me so happy to hear! I love finding fragrances that are marketed towards men or unisex fragrances in general that women should give more love to!
How do you think mon Guerlain intense would work in California heat, would it be too heavy?
LITERALLY OFF you are HILARIOUS. and i am LOVING your perfume content!!!
Your taste is so much like mine that when i watch your videos i tend to write down the ones you love snd give them a try. I love your energy as well. Congrats
awe thank you! ❤️
When you tell us not to blind buy I accept your challenge and blind buy everything you recommend 😂 So far you are 10 out of 10 in my book! Thank you for everything you do! Your channel is quickly becoming my favorite!
oh my gosh😆, thank you so much! 💕
Where. Can you buy the Dorinperfume pleas yana 🙏
OMG! I had this same problem with BR540. I am soooo sad because I have finally decided it has to go back and I have the HUGE bottle! I tried many times and I cannot smell BR on me at all! I have Orientica as well and it lasts all day and I can smell it for days on my clothes! Awesome dupe!!
Cant stop watching you. I get so excited whenever you post and watch it as soon as i can!
aww you're the best Tiffany! ❤️
Just blind ordered orientica amber rouge because of this review. SUPER EXCITED!
eyy I hope you love it!! 😍
Orientica Amber Rouge has me curious...Love the bottle!...Will definitely try "Fancy"...I too have passed it by many times....I love "Beachwalk" by MM and it has great lasting power.......Great video!!...Thank you
Oh I love Jessica’s Simpson fancy so yummy of a caramel scent ❤️ congrats to 10k!!
Yess! Thank you!!
Thank you for this, I was so afraid to buy the amber rouge, but I love the cloud perfume
I just found your channel and went through a few of your videos… I’m desperate for a new fragrance I’m so sick of my collection lol so I decided to try the 540 dupe… Hope it’s good! Thanks for the recommendation, look forward to new spring fragrance videos!!
Heck yeah!! Congrats on 10k!!
I'm definitely getting Mon Guerlain Intense soon. I just got Bloom of Rose EDP and OMG its so freaking good!!
Thank you!! Oooo enjoy your new goodie 😍🌹
Gurl you are so funny! I’m new to fragrances and just found your channel, but your Off bug spray joke has me subscribed!
Great video! Happy you found your replacement scent after a long search. I’ve been trying to find something close to Chopard Casmir for so many years. I find others I like along the way but nothing quite like it. You know how that perfect scent makes you feel and you miss that in your life!
Just buy Chopard Casmir again then....its really inexpensive. 🤦♀️😂
Casmir has been discontinued for many years so concerned that any product for sale would be very old or fake.
yes!! I feel you! 😫
The face you made when you smelled the Zara, I laughed so hard. You looked so disgusted and confused 🤣
💯🥴
Guerlain is my favorite house, especially the Mon Guerlains. Thanks for sharing!!
Pair up Sueded Oud with Solar Bloom or Amber Saffron from the Clean Reserve line and just wow! Just thought I’d throw it out there 😏😉thanks for sharing your content. And I agree on Fancy! It’s a gorgeous scent for such an affordable price!
thank you!!
Nice haul!! Love the Clean line. I hear that because they use clean ingredients that’s why they’re softer.
I'm so surprised that you like Fancy AT ALL! I personally love it, too, but all I get is a sharp caramel scent in a juvenile but projecting way. I wish SO badly that the Replica line lasted longer because their scents are truly unique and nostalgic!
Really! Luckily I don't get that, I love it! 😄And for realll! They have an amazing concept and brand but the lasting power needs a lotta work 😫
New subbie here! I recently found your channel and have been binge watching your videos ever since. Love your personality, sense of humor, and the way you review fragrances. You are awesome at painting a picture of a fragrance through your vivid descriptions. Congrats on 10K!!🎉 So glad to have found your channel!
wow, thank you so much Liz!!
I recently picked up fancy and I’m in love!
I just finished smelling the sample box of replica perfumes and I was super excited for bubble bath, beach walk and intrigued to smell by the fireplace but my first impression of Coffee Break? Oh my gosh. Soooo good. Didn’t expect to like that one but I’m gonna buy it asap lol
Hi. What is the name of the Bacarat dupe?
Girl, you'll get to 50K by the end of this year, I 👏CAN 👏TELL ! Congrats Anne ❤
aww thank you love!!
I’ve been watching you for a long time and just purchased Silky Wood base on your reviews today! You are one of my favorite youtubers and keep posting more videos because i’ll be watching all of them!
awe thank you so much! ❤️❤️
Love your content. I totally agree with you on not buying fragrance blindly. I try samples alot. Lets say if tried 8 samples I like only 1 fragrance worthy of buying a big bottle. Whats the point of having so many bottles of perfume which you don't 100% in love with.
💯!!
I’ve been really curious about Coffee Break. So sad to hear it doesn’t last :( great video!
ugh me tooo 😫and thank you!
Do you know others that smells like coffee break!? :(
Is the amber rouge perfume the type of perfume only others can smell like the original bc540? Or can I aldo smell it ? Also does it come and go like the original ? Help
Thanks for your honest reviews!!! They’re very helpful.
You are so welcome! ❤️
Oh you picked a couple of great ones. (MonGuerlain Intense) and Gaiac (love that one also). 😉Gaiac is very Christmasy.
It really is! 🎄🥰
omg you literally got me obsessed with perfume. I'm smelling all the perfumes you recommended :")
Yay! So glad you like MG Intense!!!! Coffee Break too is amazing. I tend to get decent performance spraying on skin and clothes. I would say I spray like 5 sprays appx. But I do used scent free lotion so I am not sure if that helps?
I love the idea of a giveaway from your own collection! Feels so personal 💕
Thank you! 🥰
So happy to discovered your channel. I love your honest review😊
Do you have any recommendations for chocolate and vanilla perfumes? Something elegant maybe,something different.
yes! 💕
Chocolate: Mugler Angel Muse
Vanilla: M. Micallef Note Vanillee, Guerlain Spiritueuse Double Vanille
What is in the Red Gaudy bottle? I didn't hear you ever say what it was?
Fragrances are always listed in the description box! Orientica Amber Rouge
Spot on with the MM Coffee break. Beautiful scent, creamy, a touch of coffee - this is my night time/bed scent. I also LOVE to layer this with a lot of other scents bc the performance sucks! Also I am obsessed with Clean reserve Skin, but performance :( have the big bottle and drown myself in it too
oo great idea!!
Skin is sooo good! Such a beautiful smell!
Congratulations on 10K!!! Thanks for that JS Fancy and Note Vanille comparison! I love Fancy, but I really want Note Vanille in my collection. Sounds like they're both worth having.
oh yes 😍 thank you!❤️
I am dying laughing at your description of the Zara perfume! 😂💀 So glad I’m not a fan of camping.
I agree about the replica perfumes- no longevity for a fragrance that’s on the pricey side.
And by the way, your bf deserves an award for wearing that perfume!
Congrats on 10k and thank you for hosting the giveaway! 💝
lolll he really does 😅 and thank you! ❤️
@@AnneLauren I’m totally binging the videos on your channel as I type this. Hope you’re having a fab weekend!
@@mo92082 ❤️❤️❤️ you as well!
Thank you so much for your video, I ordered the Amber Rouge from Fragrantica and I absolutely love it , it’s totally a real dupe of BC Rouge ( I went through 2 bottles already ), this is a great alternative for me and it looks very luxury , smell amazing 🤩 much love to you❤️❤️❤️
Congrats on reaching 10k Anne!!🎆🎉 Curious about Orientica Amber Rouge now.🤔 I love Fancy! Great video.💖
Is the Orientica similar the original BR 540 or the extrait?
I'd personally say the OG, I don't pick up any almond note in it!
You were hilarious in this video! 🤣
Thanks for painting a picture for us and not just reciting notes like a lot of other reviewers.
Orientica is my jam as well, there is zero reason to purchase BR540 if you have this one.
Thanks for putting me onto Oud for Greatness, I bought the clone Oud for glory and I am in loveeeee.
Congrats on 10k!! Lovee your honesty! Helps me remove fragrances from my huge wishlist. Like you I love keeping ONLY the ones that I’m obsessed with!
I purchased the orientica Amber rouge, it smells good, but does not last long at all.. very very weak, I had to return it
I was set on buying Zara's red temptation but now I wonder if Oriental Rouge is the better buy. I haven't tried it yet but my friend says Ariana Grande REM gives similar vibes to Coffee Break.
I heard Red Temptation still has the latex smell so I never hopped on it 👀I've tried REM, and I can see the vibe comparison, although I like the scent of Coffee Break much more personally
I’ve never smelled Gaiac but based on the description you might like Memoirs of a Trespasser by Imaginary Authors. I love it. You might also like Whiff of a Wafflecone, maybe too gourmand for you but it has a nice toasted quality too.
MOAT just went on my to try list, looks lovely! 😍I've heard so much about WOAW, haven't picked up a sample yet, but I think I should give it a try and see what it's all about
@@AnneLauren My favorite from them is Yesterday Haze! Nutty, creamy fig fragrance.
@@juliaroe3499 I’m scared to try from the fig 🙈! But I might try anyway haha
@@AnneLauren I don’t like fig scents usually, like Premier Figuere but I love this one!
Fancy was my mom’s signature scent, and I’m so glad people are rediscovering it. I’ll always have it in my collection even though it makes me a little sad when I smell it now. On another note, those vocals mid video were amazing!! I’m a newish sub so I don’t know if you sing a lot but those vocals were nice! Congrats on the 10K😄
It's such a great cheapie!! thank you! ❤️
Love your videos and suggestions. Your videos make me want to de clutter to my absolute favorites.
Congratz Anne! Though I couldn’t enter your giveaways as I’m not based in the US, but happy to see you have your fragrance ig and followed! Look forward to seeing more videos from you in 2022!
awe thank you for your support! ❤️
been here watching since the beginning. congrats on 10k and cheers to your next 100,000,000k !! 🥰
awe thank you so so much!!
Coffee Break is one of my favorites, I've definitely had a much better experience with the lasting power than you did. 3 sprays will last me several hours if not the majority of the day. Also if you find the lasting power just isn't good enough but you love the scent, I'm pretty sure you can find dupes from Dossier and Alt Fragrances
I realize this video is about one year old now, but i was wondering if you've tried Untold by Armaf? I have become nose blind to Baccarat too and i do own Orientica Rouge but to me Untold is absolutely 100% the same as Baccarat
Yey! You got and love two of my favorite fragrances! Mon Guerlain Intense and Fancy 🥰👌
Anyone know if Gaiac is really discontinued? It ran out before I could order but Note Vanille had the same thing happen until they restocked in new bottles. 🤞🏻
Hi Anne 🌸 - you are as telegenic as your are hilariously informative!
May I ask which fragrance site you purchased Jessica Simpson’s FANCY from? Rather trepidatious about purchasing a fake 😉
haha thank you!! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0020MMD06/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This is where I bought it!
I love BR, it smells so good but the dissapearing act has been with me from the start so I'm not even trying to buy the real deal. I wanted to try Amber Oud Rouge from Al Haramain but now I've come across Orientica Amber Rouge and the bottle is so pretty, I just want it. Sadly it's not available in Europe yet, only in the UK and it's so expensive to get it shipped and then the taxes... So I'm conflicted to just wait or buy Amber Oud Rouge, since word is that they are the same fragrance since Orientica is Al Haramain's baby... Have you tried the Haramain one?
I actually used to own Amber Oud Rouge and decluttered it right after I received it, I'm not a fan of the latex smell in that one, I definitely prefer Amber Rouge! 💕
Yea I friggen love Oud but that shiz smells like Citronella candle on me 😒 but Hipster Oud!!! Hells yea! Get that one!!! 🥰
I’d love it if you would talk even more about layering techniques. I have so many scents and have been trying to test different ones together…I don’t feel like I’m the best at it lol! Congrats on all the subs! You deserve it and I’m excited to see where your channel goes from here.
thank you! and for sure! I want to spend some time on that video so it's helpful and informative, but definitely planning on it! ❤️
Great haul, just love all the cozy scents you always show!! I have said it before but m . Micallefs house is one of my favs, I have 3 from that house and note vanille is def the next fragrance I am gonna pick up, next to amethyst haze, that one is number one of list to pick up. It’s actually suppose to snow today and all I could think about was damn I wish I had amethyst haze to wear today!! Lol!! I have fancy and yes it really is a pretty scent, also I actually just picked up a dupe for baccarat as well (Al harmain amber oud rouge) and I love it, but now I want to try the one you talked about!! That bottle is over the top gorgeous!! Lol!!💕
yess cozy scents all the way! 😍 hahaha I feel you, I can't wait to have Amethyst Haze in my collection, it's taking a while to pull the trigger though, I have several niche fragrances on my wishlist lol 🥴
Congratulations on 10K! I love your reviews. I pulled the trigger on Amouage Sunshine and got a decant of Lamar Kajal and so glad I did. You were right, they are amazing!
I'm so happy to hear that!! 😄❤️
wow… this video was in my recommendations and watching it now, I already know I will be binging your channel in no time🥳
ps: you paint perfume pictures like Gabriela Francesca does, and it is the absolute best🤩
🥰🥰
Glad to know Fancy is similar to Note Vanillée bc it is near damn impossible to find now and at least I already like Fancy (I was sure you'd hate it lol). And when it comes to Mon Guerlain Intense it's a bit the contrary for me. Intense is more a signature scent that I wear outside and I wear the original one at home when I want to feel cozy.
Also, I really appreciate the fact that you properly sample fragrances as much as possible; I wish other UA-camr would do this more. While I feel like my tastes are basic, I don't like/love a lot of the fragrances that I try lol. Kinda curious about the ones you've tried and didn't quite make the cut.
If you like Fancy you'll LOVE Note Vanillee! It's coming out in March again! 😍I'm thinking of filming a "Rapid Reviews" type of video, there are sooo many fragrances that I've tried that people want to hear my thoughts on, I feel like this might be a good idea to get it out there!
Hi Anna Lauren - I too blind bought M. Michallef’s Gaiac and I absolutely love it. Since it’s being disconnected I am considering buying a back up. Love your channel and I’m super excited that we both share a love for Gaiac by M. Michallef.
I know you don't like blind buying but I'm fully on board when you do because I enjoy watching them. 😂 Congrats on 10k and the many more subscribers to come!
hahah thank you!! ❤️
Congratulations! I prefer Fancy Love by Jessica Simpson. I can't handle fruity notes in the other one ... glad there is one that I can wear. It's lovely to wear to bed.
tha drama and the wordplays .. 😄❤
Is my first time watching your videos and I love it,thank you!
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching 🥰
Congrats on 10k!! I love that Orientica bottle it’s gorgeous & will have to try Fancy :)
My comment got deleted too so here is a new one! Congrats on 10k! Aaaand you convinced me to blind buy Fancy lol
thank you!! I hope you love it!
😂 you are on a roll on this one 😂 fancy is so good! Why are you making me blind buy Guaic 😫
hahaha 😝❤️❤️
Congrats, girl. I like you so much! You are so honest and funny❤️.
Which one is the Baccarat rouge dupe. I didn't understand the name of the parfum.
Thank you!! It’s Orientica Amber Rouge :)
I'm a new sub and I've been enjoying your channel. I have to say I love a lot of the Replica scents myself and I also have problems with longevity with most of them. I don't know how you feel about clone houses, but I have found clones of their fragrances that last way, way longer. I am waiting for a clone of Sailing Day. By the Fireplace is the only scent that actually lasts on me.
Thank you! Yeah I find By the Fireplace and Jazz Club to be the only ones that last okay
Congratulations on 10K! Such a huge milestone!!
love that I found your channel! I'll have to try out Orientica Amber Rouge :)
Congrats Anne! Your videos are so fun to watch!
Congratulations on 10k!!
Girlll I swear I’m on low/no buy for two months but as soon as I start watching your video and the way you describe scents, I literally pause and go search for them lol. So far I have not bought any but you, you entice me my god🤣 love your video and style. Also love most of your recommendations, we literally have almost the same taste when it comes to fragrances❤️
thank you!! hahah so sorry 🥴❤️
Where did you buy amethyst haze from?? 🤩 I sampled it last year, it’s definitely amazing and it’s been on my “to buy” list ever since but I haven’t found anywhere selling it besides Harrods but I don’t want to pay like 45 for shipping lol
I haven't picked up a full bottle yet! I was gonna get it either from Harrods or Feeling Sexy Australia (not sure which is better for shipping, but yikes, that 45 is awful 😫)
Just seen that it’s on the feeling sexy website so thank you. I just ordered from them last week actually, fast shipping and under 20 dollars to the US. I rechecked Harrods and looks like it’s 29 shipping now but when I looked last year it was higher. The bottle is a little cheaper on feeling sexy though because it’s on pre sale and won’t ship until February. I really want it now but then I have a feeling it will pop up on frag buy since they have most all the collection on there and I’ll be pissed that I paid full retail lol ah, first world problems 😅
@@vannamae__ hahah I feel you, I rarely pay full retail 😅
Commenting again in case my previous with the IG handle was deleted! Love your stuff!
OMG ANNE!!!! This giveaway is INCREDIBLE! Yes yes YES PLEASE I would love to be entered!! Congrats on 10k..what an accomplishment!! I'm not surprised, your videos are the best fragrance ones one UA-cam! Cheers to many more milestones!
thank you love!!
I found your channel a couple of weeks ago and i’m in love with your energy and descriptions! In one of your reviews you said Le labo Another smells like dutch people. I’ve been studying in Netherlands since 2 years ago and I think dutch are very well dressed, beautiful and clean looking but i have no idea what you are referring to as how a dutch person smells :D I have to get my nose on that perfume now, I’m super curious. Congrats on 10k!
thank you!! hahah yeah a lot of people look at me funny when I tell them that story, but it's how I experience it! 😅It's a beautifulll scent, definitely worth a test 😍
I had the same impression about Universal Oud by Zara. I blind bought it hearing reviewers saying it smells expensive and like money. 🙄 Not sure what do do with the bottle now... Also that's why it is probably on the best sellers list. It's hard to get a tester and reviews that are available are extremely positive.😅
lolll you're probably right 😅 I'm currently trying to sell mine but no one has picked it up yet hahah. My boyfriend was like, "You can sell THAT??" 😂
@@AnneLauren Good luck with that!! 😅
Ooohhh I might have to try amber rouge! Congrats on 10K! I'm a recent sub and I love your videos! Been going through and binge-watching the backlog hahaha. The way you describe fragrances is spot-on and I love your sense of humor!
thank you!!
