    I blind bought Casa Blanca after reading the notes. I had a travel size of La Mar and I had a feeling Casa Blanca would be just as good. I’m sooo happy I went with my gut and bought it. Absolutely stunning.

    Hi Anne. Another great video. I wore Liis Bo today. I discovered it thru you. I absolutely adore the fact that it does make you feel engulfed in nature. It’s so clean and refined! Another obsession of late for me: Queens and Monsters. You described it perfectly in one of your videos and I believe you said Chris lead you to it. One of my favorite sandalwoods indeed. I sampled Kajal Lamar, and even though I did not dislike it, I chose to invest in another types of fragrances. Dying to sample Casa Blanca, Espíritu and La Mar. I just hope they smell on me as you so enthusiastically describe them. Stay well 😊

    I took your advice and bought the travel set from House of Bo instead of blind buying my wishlist.
    Today I layered Maison Crivelli Oud Cadenza with House of BO Casa Blanca and they pair sooo well together. Casa Blanca adds a softness to Oud Cadenza and the two different type of ouds in these fragrances add dimension and a sophistication I didnt know I needed.
    I just wish it wasn’t such an expensive layering combination 😂😂

    I lovvvve BO! I definitely don't get forest floor from it though as it's soo clean there's no moss or dirt or anything.. what I get is sauna! Like a high end sauna resort with freshly cut cedar, and the smell of the unlit coals, and some beautiful vanilla also in the background. It's amaZing..

    Curious to know your thoughts on tobacco honey from guerlain? I know honey is not your favorite note in fragrance but was just curious!

    • @AnneLauren
      @AnneLauren  Місяць тому +1

      😆 Yes! So for that reason it didn't fully suit me, however, I think it's a great fragrance! I would describe it as unisex, kinda in the same family as Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, but this of course has a prominent honey, it’s smoother, doesn’t have fruit, and it’s not as spicy as TV. I appreciate that it isn’t a sickeningly sweet or overly cloying honey. In true Guerlain fashion, the execution is very smooth. It’s a runny, raw, perfectly golden, silky honey. 😁

I don’t know what’s wrong with me by ylang in gold I bought FB as everyone raves about it, but I really don’t like it…maybe I’m not a ylang kinda girl not sure. Love your videos and am curious about that love spell one. ❤
