Out of everything I tried this year, the cirque du soliel perfume is probably #1 for me. Its beautiful, unique, well blended & best part is that it PERFORMS😍. All my childhood memories in a bottle. I wore it all throughout summer & wearing it now in cold weather. Its amazing.
I’ve been on a mission this fall to use up a lot of my perfumes that aren’t my holy grails. I’ve finished like 30 some bottles (a few full size, mostly 1.7 or 1 oz, a few 10ml) and finished THREE Snif perfumes. To be completely honest, Snif has pissed me off. I hate seeing them marketed as inexpensive when they give you two tablespoons of juice for $65. The unit price is legitimately more than Kayali and they do not last. I do respect and appreciate that they are regularly collaborating with creators and giving them a moment to create something lovely, but none of those fragrance DNAs really spoke to me so I passed, therefore I can’t say anything about them. I think I’ll be passing on this brand from now on but who knows.
I definitely agree with you about the price. it is pretty expensive for only a one ounce bottle. I don't think the brand will be for everybody and thats okay too! Happy you are able to finish up some perfumes in your collection! I'll be right behind you too!
Love hearing your thoughts, thanks for sharing! You speak the truth about that Kayali release. I'm also disappointed by the Marshmallow one that just came out. Lovely scent, ZERO longevity. I just can't justify upsizing to a full bottle right now. 💕
I dont understand the performance thing 😂the last few releases from kayali have been great performing for me. Marshmallow lasts 8+hrs on me & leaves a trail. Its gotten me compliments & perfumes dont last on my skin at all 😂. Deff one of the better performing from kayali for me.
You know I'm still as confused about the marshmallow one as the first day I smelled it. So it won't be upgraded right now but I feel like I will eventually get it unless someone makes a better dupe.
@@vaniamickelleAgree,still not sure how I feel about it. It’s pretty, but I was just expecting something different. We’ll have to see what Dua does lol before I upgrade to a bigger bottle.
I just recently started getting into scents, but mainly just getting decants to try a ton of things out. That Cirque du Soleil was the first big bottle I bought. I had to have it. I also have a couple of dupes of it, from Dua and Dapper, and they're good, but I wanted the real thing 👌😊
You're doing it the right way with the samples! Making sure you only get things you really want. And theres just something about the OG for that one. I feel like I will eventually have the OG too.
I just ordered Snif’s Coco Shimmy, Vanilla Vice, and Heal the Way from Ulta. They are 20% off plus Ulta has a 20% coupon including fragrances until 12/24 if anyone is interested ❤
And 5x's the point on fragrance purchases. I got until tomorrow to decide what I'm going to get 😂😂 Right now heal the way and cosmic by Kylie Jenner is in my cart but I'm not sure which one is going to make the cut.
Cirque du Soleil is easily #1 of this year for me! It is actually so complex... delicious and gourmand but totally versatile and wearable. Not heavy or cloying. Floral notes make it airy.
Marc Jacob’s actually made his first serious “Niche” in 2015 Decadence then 4 flankers. The perfume UA-cam / IG and of course no TT community wasn’t big at that time so it didn’t do so well. NOW once they have found out they want it and it’s being sold for $300+ on eBay etc. I still have 4 bottles. I love BB goddess intense but I’m a true Lavender lover and mature in age.
Snif Vanilla Vice is in my top 3 of this year! I agree I don’t get ice cream at all. I layer it with everything!!! Took the place of Vanilla 28 to me. I wish they had bigger size!!!
I’m have not tried the OG to Cirque du Soleil, but after trying Dua’s version I immediately will have to try a sample of the original. Thanks, I think I know what I’ll be getting with the Ulta 20% is the Green Extravaganza. It is a beautiful scent and it’s been on my wishlist for a while. Enjoyed this video ❤
Yes, I think the OG will eventually be added to my collection and I love DBIR Stravaganza! It’s so good. I used my 20% off earlier this year for that one.
And thanks for mentioning cj scents, I ordered what the fluff with added notes of whipped cream, sugar & sandalwood and it’s doing a lil something! Lol a lil potent 🙌🏽
Having my way by blake n co is absolutely wonderful with Valentino Green Stravaganza. I have the perfume oil and, I actually love it more that the OG! Blake n co is black owned and she has a love it or return it policy. I loved all three dupes I received in my 1st order, and I have already placed a second order. I layered her version of VCRS (Pink Vanilla) with VCRS to my eye appointment today, and received the most compliments I've every received.
Hmm 🤔 I think there are differences but I feel like the Dua one gets the gist of what the OG is. If you're not crazy about the Dua one, I don't think you'll fall in love with OG either.
Prada Paradox VF is so underrated. So much hate on it. Most people on fragrantica call it boring, basic, or lame bc something to do with AI. But i absolutely LOVE it! Valentino Greenstavaganza is easily Top Tier of 24’, all day errday! Also, not sure if you’ve tried La Vie Est Belle l’elixir but considering you are in love with Celeste / Galaxy Ethereal, you may enjoy that. It reminds me of it but you get some leather. 😅
Afternoon Delight is giving me baby spit up and one time someone walked past me and smelt like that and I asked her what she was wearing and she said Afternoon Delight I was like 👁👄👁
I have been let down by most Snif perfumes Ive bought, and I realize with th exception of Coco Shimmy, Ima have to leave them alone. Vanilla Vice was fine, but in comparison to other vanilla’s, it didn’t blow me away. I got Pacifico hoping to get a more concentrated version of At The Beach body spray from B&BW. It smells like a cleaning agent. Sweet Ash is good in the laundry scent booster, but not in a perfume. Sugarnami is okay. There are others I’ve had in the small sizes and gave away. Heal the Way was too strong for me. Like it had too many notes fighting each other.
I’ve never seen honey suite before 👀👀 I’m definitely having fomo with snif now. They definitely snuck the Acqua intense on the shelves because I definitely confused when I saw it on the shelves. Goddess intense was AWFUL 😭😭😭😭
Want me to send you a lil sample of ms honey suite 👀 you might not like her. They sent acqua intense down in a stork cause aint no way. Goddess intense was an accident. I'm convinced.
So funny. I get photorealistic for soda snob all the way through and I get compliments. But I’ll take that, give you rose era, and agree on the other snifs. 😂
@vaniamickelle yes they are the best! They are the Pilot brand (I get them from Target or Walmart)... they come in gel pens and fine tip felt pens. I love to color coordinate my planner & being able to erase is fun!! I added a link below I hope it works
I agree with Vanilla Vice, they really tried to sell a creamy dreamy vanilla ice cream and when I smelled it , it wasn’t exactly it. BUT I wore it once to a gyno appt and one of the medical assistants came in the waiting room and said “why does it smell like ice cream in here! Now I want a cone.” I was the only one in the room so I know it was me. So maybe to some people’s noses they pick up vanilla ice cream in the dry down. 🤷🏻♀️
Some great releases of 2024 have to be sniff heal the way,sora dora ylop,sara baker peaches revenge,cirque du soliel,yara candy,kayali candy rock sugar and yum bougee marshmallow,house of oud guilty crush,theodoros kalotinis bubblegum,pistachio latte,almond tart and cinnamon rolls,les nobles essences le mond gourmand,define me nearly noon,navitus melon kiss,maison tahite vanilla park,plur heavy cream,sphnix egyptain sugar soiree,chanceux fn candy,commodity juice,imaginary authors dipped in chocolate and Valentino donna born in roma green extravaganza. 😊❤
They put some extra sauce on that intense 😂 it's so good!!

Yes! Maison Margiela Afternoon Delight smells like regurgitation! 🤮 And I TOTALLY agree with Burberry Goddess Intense...WTF! My absolute favorite winter scent is the OG and they totally f'd up that flanker! 😒
Afternoon delight is so so BAD. I went to Sephora before having dinner with my bf. I smelled it and didn’t even want to eat afterwards. It really made me not feel good 😂😢. I was so hopeful for this perfume but damn it sure does suck.
Yara Candy smells like Strawberry scented Little Trees airfreshner to me 🤕🤕 And yes I HATE when brands raise the prices just because the brand became popular on TikTok 🙄🙄
Nooo vanilla vice is 1/10 to me . I sent that back. It’s too spicy for me they catfished us. I’ve been loving Juliette … not a perfume lately.it literally layers with everything !
Jackie should stick to makeup, hair but leave the fragrance game alone. None of them smelled good. They smelled like something she just threw together because she knew us brown girlies would come outside to check it out. If she’s going to want anyone’s support. At least she could have put forth more effect. They were all trash! Those fragrances will be long forgotten about soon.
Oooh im such a fan of Hard To Get! I need it in my collection forever! The other three have slowly grown on me! I think overall she did a really good job and it didn't seem rushed to me at all.
Kayali Boujee Marshmallow& Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar are among my favorite releases for 2024🩷! I'm relatively new to the perfume world & must say that I've been enjoying your content
i, too, am always ashy right before filming. maybe the lotion is the secret to the perfect clap 😂😂
I think it got some power in it!
Anytime you drop a video, I drop everything and watch! DONT EVER STOP TALKING ABOUT THE JOURNAL!!!
thank you thank you thank you thank you 🥰🥰

Yes! They took such a unique concept and made it work!! Especially when everybody is making different versions of the same thing right now 😂
Best channel I’ve subscribed to this year 😊
oh wow, thank you so much!! 🥰

Sniff is the worst. I tried Rose Era. It disappeared so fast. They should be $40 perfumes not $65.
I definitely agree with you about the price. it is pretty expensive for only a one ounce bottle. I don't think the brand will be for everybody and thats okay too! Happy you are able to finish up some perfumes in your collection! I'll be right behind you too!
@@vaniamickellealthough after I ran my mouth like that, here I am coveting coco shimmy. So this is me: 🤡
Extravaganza is top 3 for me I bought the big size after trying it to no discount. But I love it
Good morning Vania 😊I felt the same about the Vanilla Vice marketing 😫😫 but it’s a solid vanilla go layer with ❤
Yes! so perfect for layering! But not giving vanilla ice cream!
Love hearing your thoughts, thanks for sharing! You speak the truth about that Kayali release. I'm also disappointed by the Marshmallow one that just came out. Lovely scent, ZERO longevity. I just can't justify upsizing to a full bottle right now. 💕

You know I'm still as confused about the marshmallow one as the first day I smelled it. So it won't be upgraded right now but I feel like I will eventually get it unless someone makes a better dupe.
My new description for that is the scent of being in love!!!!! I love it💞 next sale Im getting another big one

They took their time with that one and really made something special! Especially with that popcorn note! 🤯
Creme Brûlée by Theodoros Kalotinis was one of my favourites 🙂
Do not EVER stop talking about your journal!! I want to hear it mentioned EVERY VIDEO!!!!! You did that!!!
🥹🥹 thank you!
Fren..that Burberry Goddess Intense is trifling..when u find out who was on the committee let me know cuz I got some words for them😂😂😂
Idk I liked it once it settled.
@ to be fair I never tried it on my skin..I was so turned off by the test strip i didn’t even have a thought to spray it on skin😂
😂😂😂😂 They better hide and never come out!
@@vaniamickelle 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Hello Vania!!!! 💜💜💜
Marc Jacob’s actually made his first serious “Niche” in 2015 Decadence then 4 flankers. The perfume UA-cam / IG and of course no TT community wasn’t big at that time so it didn’t do so well. NOW once they have found out they want it and it’s being sold for $300+ on eBay etc. I still have 4 bottles.

aye ulta had me.. between green extravaganza..gorgio intense and coach moonlight,,these were love at first sniff
Agreed! I wanted a full bottle of every single one of those from first sniff!
Your personality is 🔥 So funny
😂😂 thank you!
I too am in love with the Green Stravaganza. I'm usually a woody and freshie girl, but oooo, this one. Yes.
It’s just something about it!
The dry down of Goddess Intense is beautiful IMO. Pair it with the OG and it’s amazing. Enjoyed the video. TFS.
To be fair, I've never tried it on my skin. I can't get past what I smell on the tester strip 😂😂😂 I'll try again in a couple months
Definitely will be trying these scents of the likes. Never heard of many that made the best list
I’m so tired is pistachio and honestly don’t like any of them but Heal the Way is so beautiful! It’s the ultimate cozy perfume. I love it so much!
I just bought another one from Ulta using the 20% off because I did not realize my bottle was that low 😂
I love Vanilla Vice ❤ I was so disappointed in Afternoon Delight, immediately returned. Cirque du Soleil is definitely on my current wishlist ❤
I’m have not tried the OG to Cirque du Soleil, but after trying Dua’s version I immediately will have to try a sample of the original. Thanks, I think I know what I’ll be getting with the Ulta 20% is the Green Extravaganza. It is a beautiful scent and it’s been on my wishlist for a while. Enjoyed this video ❤

Whenever i need a mood boost i throw on some Vania !! Thank you for being you
That makes my heart so happy! Thank you so much! 🥰
European perfumes has an inspired by line of Donna Born in Roma Green Extravaganza! They make lotions and oils too 😊
Thank you!!!! I need
They have a couple near me. I'll have to go in and smell it.
@@vaniamickelle yesss I would love to see a vlog and hear your thoughts!
And thanks for mentioning cj scents, I ordered what the fluff with added notes of whipped cream, sugar & sandalwood and it’s doing a lil something! Lol a lil potent 🙌🏽

Now I want to try the Cirque de Solei one. I have the Dua one and it’s okay. Is the OG one better?
Hmm 🤔 I think there are differences but I feel like the Dua one gets the gist of what the OG is. If you're not crazy about the Dua one, I don't think you'll fall in love with OG either.

Omg 😮😅 I have not smelled this yet but now I don’t think I need too hahaha. Not baby spit up 🤦🏽♀️
😂😂😂😂 with a lil bit of a baby diaper too 😂😂
Moonlight initially smelled like SkinSo Soft. I however loved the dry down
I used to douse myself in skin so soft as a child so that makes sense that I love it 😂
That Aqua di Gioa is on my Christmas wish list
It's so good!!!
My faves this year were: Yara Candy, Yum Boujee Marshmallow (hate the name!), Khair Confection
Worst was: YLOP (made me sick to my stomach)
The name was certainly a choice 😂😂 what did that YLOP smell like 👀
@ it was terrible! Like moth balls, turkey seasoning (rosemary) and random apple. Like you’re seasoning your turkey in your grandma’s attic.
Hey, I love the video!!! Stopping by to let you know found a great oil company. Herb organic Oils. They are in NY.
Thank you. I placed one order and I wasn't a fan 🫣🫣 I'm willing to give them another chance. What is your favorites from them?
@vaniamickelle oh no, sorry to hear that, I got the hufflepuff, vanilla powder, and libre.

My best for 2024 is that Ledda 20 Bourbon Brulee 🔥👌🏾
What's it smell like? I just heard of that brand for the first time from Shaughnessy a couple months ago.
@@vaniamickelle It's sweet but not too sweet. Deep and rich, like an upgrade to Kayali Vanilla 28 is the best comparison I can give.
So funny. I get photorealistic for soda snob all the way through and I get compliments. But I’ll take that, give you rose era, and agree on the other snifs. 😂
To be fair, I didn't keep it long enough to find out. I sprayed it once and sent it right back 😂
Teriaq is soooo good to me. Some ppl smell celery tho
To be fair, I only sprayed it once and immediately sent it back. What I remember was heavy wood or oud or something. I didn't get any pear at all
I love to use erasable pens for my Calendars/ journal!
Erasable pens? 🤯🤯

Getting my journal out so I can write some of these down! ✍🏾
Acqua intense won me over. I am not a fan of the original, but the intense has me in a chokehold. Lol

European Perfumes has Green Extravaganza. I got the EDP extra strength.
Does it smell like the OG?

Afternoon delight is so so BAD. I went to Sephora before having dinner with my bf. I smelled it and didn’t even want to eat afterwards. It really made me not feel good 😂😢. I was so hopeful for this perfume but damn it sure does suck.
I sampled teriaq and HATED it. I hated it so much I couldn't even use it as room spray. "La Belle" my a** 😂
The sentiments of my heart 😂 I said pear where? 👀👀
Heal the Way is still on sale @Ulta plus 20%making it under $50! I’m trying it for that price!!😂😂😂
It's already in my cart! 😂 I got until tomorrow to decide

We gonna make it 💪🏾
Yara Candy smells like Strawberry scented Little Trees airfreshner to me 🤕🤕 And yes I HATE when brands raise the prices just because the brand became popular on TikTok 🙄🙄

1 because I like the magnetic top 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂 too spicy 😂 I lost my atomizer to my JHAG not a perfume 🥹🥹 idk what I'm going to do with it. The bottle was still very full
@@vaniamickelle maybe a syringe and put it in another bottle. Like they do in those travel atomizers .
Maybe use an atomiser (after spraying it out with alcohol) from a perfume you've finished? 🙂 @vaniamickelle
Jackie should stick to makeup, hair but leave the fragrance game alone. None of them smelled good. They smelled like something she just threw together because she knew us brown girlies would come outside to check it out. If she’s going to want anyone’s support. At least she could have put forth more effect. They were all trash! Those fragrances will be long forgotten about soon.
I totally disagree. ALOT of people like her perfume me included she doing a great job that's why she is RICH BY NOT STICKING TO MAKEUP AND HAIR
Oooh im such a fan of Hard To Get! I need it in my collection forever! The other three have slowly grown on me! I think overall she did a really good job and it didn't seem rushed to me at all.
