These are my favorites! I'm not a Chanel woman, but I love Coromandel. Musc Ravaguer is in my top 10 for life. LDDM is an old favorite of mine. Thanks for reminding me to pull Material out for now, because I'm craving these woody vanillas but it's still humid/hot where I am. I need to try Sexy Garrigue because I love pine but don't want to wear traditionally masculine scents, and I want to try Torino and Yosimite. Oh yes, and your makeup does look really good today and that's a really good lip color on you, though I also think you look great in reds/deeper colors, too..
My absolute fave for chapped lips is Jo Malone Ginger/mint balm. It is the best I've ever tried. I love Coramandel!!!! I got the 10 ml of Scents of Wood "Oud in Bourbon". Love it and love the10 ml options to have variety, but not huge bottles to get through. Your video reminded me that Andy Tauer hasn't done anything for a YEAR. Hopefully that means something good is releasing soon. I bought Sundowner a year ago now. Interesting to see Yosemite in this line-up, now I am interested for sure!!
Nice picks. I’m in California too and it’s been so hot it’s been hard to think of fall fragrances. Musk Ravageur used to be animalic when it first came out but they changed it to be more gourmand. Love Perris Monte Carlo. Great quality and underrated house.
Woody Vanilla + Lipstick Iris is my Daytime Signature Scent. Coromandel EDP over-sprayed on skin is to die for, slept-on! Musc Rav been reformulated, less sexy spice. :( Fully agreed with you! There is nothing animalic in Musc Rav, but it evokes the animal in you...lol Can't find Caroline Herrera's Private line in my city. In 2 years i've never seen it. Want to try Torino and Richwood. Another fabulous video, thank you Greta! 🐾
I miss a favorite by Shiseido feminite Du Bois edp + I also love Spikenard & woody myrrh. I’m wondering what perfume you would recommend for my replacing the Feminite du Bois? Thank you for all you do for us 😊
Great video for my drive down to San Diego I never once heard the gardeners outside and I only heard the dog bark once maybe twice anyway awesome choices great reviews
Editing wizardry by filtering out certain decibels 😉 When I have to do that it makes me sound like I am in a can though. Can't wait to see you sistah!! 💕🙌🏼
Hi Greta, great video and I will be re-watching this again when I have more time and on my own😁. I just got my hands on ylang ylang nosy be last week and got a sample of the vanilla one with it, must admit its a bit smokey to my nose but still a really nice vanilla. Can't wait to see you do a video on the house of perris monte carlo🙏😘
How is the Mud water? I wanted to try it as well.. I wear a ton of Le Lion- so regal and sort abstract resinousness. It has a sort of dried lemon that mixed with the retina and creates aChanel composition. Coromandel is next on my list.. Does Material smell like Ivory Route to you? I own the latter not the former but I have a sample- I will compare them back to back.. because I think they’re similar and I don’t need Material.
I love them both, but don’t consider them similar. They both have vanilla rooting the fragrance. I think I’m liking the Mud Wtr! I’m not giving up coffee any time soon though 😂 The evening beverage to facilitate rest is great (valerian root and other stuff in it).
Hey, you are the whole package, girl 👌 Luxurious, attractive and smart. Very valuable video. Never thought of wearing complex vanilla scents, now I do.
Hi Greta: One of the first things I learned and especially after attending (virtually) ScentXplore last December....Cecile Zarokian is my perfumer of choice. Latched unto her and just the other day, got another fragrance from her....Remember Me from Jovoy. Looking forward to her tobacco XlV coming soon from the Amouage Library Collection. I have a list from LuckyScent which lists all her creations thus far which has been a great help in searching out what she has done and for who. LOVE my Material fragrance...so smooth and beautiful for Fall. :) Speaking of price hikes, I see FDB Oud Jaune Intense is up to $695 for a 3.4 oz. Don't remember it being that high before.......I will stay on the sidelines.
I love your videos, and your descreptions. I bought many fragrances after watching your videos and our tastes are so close... Would you please make a video about the house of the Harmonist? They have stunning fragrances.
Hey Greta..🤍 hope that storm & winds blew the rattlesnakes away…Lol. Love love Chanel Coromandel ( les exclusifs yeah)? abit like Guerlain’s Shalimar well kinda like. Noticed another Amouage I think in red ? newer one or is it Material… Anyway will watch the rest of the video - can’t resist. 🤍🙏🥰😘
@@GretaBeth Can’t we just bury them alive then..? nests & all . 😂🤣 someone said Material was pretty good - yeah named after the Material girl. The other one I was talking about is Crimson Rocks.? Have no idea how that smells . I find Amouage quite intense sometimes…. Used to love Coco in the 90’s & Chanel 22 well b4 they put it into that Les Exclusifs collection / Cuir de Russie/ Beige ( classic Chanel) but Coromandel my fave…. They would be so expensive now the Les Exclusifs. Imo Overpriced are Chanel & Dior… Have a great day Greta it’s almost 4am here - need to sleep G’nite Gorgeous ✨🙏Thanks for the vid will finish watching it tomorrow.
You always bring out bangers each time without a doubt🤩😍👌. I scored 200ml Coromandel at less than half a price at a relocation sale, don’t know why I haven’t worn it yet🤩🤩. I need to get my nose on Nosy Be, saw it at a site that had so many mixed reviews🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️. Awesome list overall👌👌. Stay gorgeous🥰🥰.
Thanks Pinkie! That’s a score on Coromandel!! 🙌🏻 I’ve learned to not listen to Fragrantica anymore. Way too many silly people full of nonsense writing reviews.
Thank you for commenting on RDHP's change of management. I have bought quite a few fragrances on their site (nothing compared to what you have purchased, though), but have found them to be so inflexible and not very friendly lately. For example, their points program does nothing for me because I live in Canada and have to spend 1000 pounds to get free shipping. So a 10% sale will always be the better bet for me, versus getting 100 pounds off with points and spending 75 pounds for shipping. There is no value to the points in that case. They should let people stack the points and use them anytime, on any fragrances. They have just told me they are a small company and can't make concessions. They should give you so much free stuff for everything you have purchased and how much exposure you have given the brand. I can't even imagine how many people have blind bought because they felt the confidence to do so after watching your videos.
Thank you for saying that Sarah. The points are useless to me too. The 10% off sale is always the best deal. You will NEVER get 10% off using points the way it’s set up. And new releases are always excluded 😂 and yes, equally rude and inflexible to me. They’ve made very expensive shipping errors with incorrect customs fees. Downright rude and incompetent with zero customer service. They have never even sent me a free gold star ⭐️ sticker 😂for all I’ve purchased and exposure. I’m truly done with that store. On the bright side, Roja Parfums, where I now exclusively shop for Roja, has better deals, a NEW much better point system, and always includes at least travel size freebies with purchase.

@@GretaBeth Wow those shipping errors can be sooo expensive. That is one of the biggest hassles when a retailer does something wrong on the paperwork and won't agree to pay for their mistakes so you don't have to. Thanks for the link.
Ahhh fig is the dried fruit I get in Ouverture!! It’s more of a fresh fig in GCx. They are quite different, but I would be confident saying if you like one, you’ll like the other.
Hello, please I have a question and maybe you have the answer to it ! :) … So does Unique’e Luxury Akdenize new batches from 2022 performs as strong as the old ones or not ??!!! … I want to buy but have some doubts about reformulation !! … Don’t want to spend money and being desappointed after … Thanks ! :)
@@GretaBeth I would love to know what you think of Maria candida gentile sideris! It’s got beeswax, myrrh, benzoin, herbal tea, labdanum. It’s in between sexy garrigue and ivory Route. it definitely satisfies the sticky sweet craving!
Thanks so much for this compilation! Question for you - have you tried Amouage’s Vanilla Barka and would you consider it a woody vanilla? I’m trying to decide if it’s worth even the cyber Monday discount 🫣
@@GretaBeth I just learned about it and for some reason my brain thought you mentioned it in a previous video. 🤔 It’s an attar (pure perfume oil - no alcohol), super concentrated and it’s supposed to be one of the best vanillas you can get. But sooo expensive. 💸💸💸

I can’t argue with that decision!
Do you like wild vanilla orchid ?
Hey boo! You came out with awesome fragrances! 😍
Hey Lala! Thanks for stopping by 💖
Perris Monte Carlo is basically un-known in the online fragrance community. I've to say, I don't mind it, it's a well kept secret.
More people need to know them! The people are so phenomenal too!
@@GretaBeth I came across Patchouli Nosy Be in-store and was just blown away! One of my absolute favourite scents.
Too funny I thought the same thing about musc R from FM people didn’t describe it well at all , I think I might get a bottle
I hear it was reformulated to be less animalic. That would explain it.
Great video ❤
Thanks Birdie! 🤍💛🤗
Agreed Musc Rav. doesn't smell animalic to me either. Just beautiful.
