I had a strong reaction to the fact that the Kayali set had to be purchased as a set.. like why? You’re so right, it makes it seem more like body mists but at a premium. I don’t like when I can’t just choose “my one” so it’s a no for me. And yeah, if I had really enjoyed one it would have been nice to then buy a full bottle so they’re really missing out on my money in two different ways.
Yeah that format is just plain weird. Don’t try to force me to buy a whole set. I’m picky af and I don’t like 90% of fragrances I smell. I’ll buy what I like thankuverymuch. I just can’t take Kayali seriously as a perfume brand.
@@susanswanson5487 I think the fact that they released it in a set, I bought it, and then they released individually pissed me off the most. I’m so annoyed that I bought the set.
So I haven’t bought from Kayali. Their whole ‘limited’ drop and then never to be seen again is really frustrating because I HATE when I fall in love with a scent and then I can’t get it anymore. To me it’s a dumb business model. And these new minis…like who only wants 10 ml of a fragrance? If it’s something you really enjoy you’re going to want at least a 1-1.7 oz..?
Same. That brand just seems like amateur hour. So many of their scents are so obnoxiously saccharine sweet it seems like a line that should be at Claire’s or Bath n Body Works for a much lower price point 😂
I totally agree with you on the Kayali fragrances. I would like to be able to choose just one. Buying the whole set seems like fun, but what if you fall in love with one? You can't repurchase one. Don't like limited edition fragrances in general, even if I rarely repurchase a perfume.
Limited edition scents shouldn’t even be a thing. I wouldn’t even purchase it if it’s limited edition. Same reason I loath when a scent gets discontinued lol
I despise limited launches. Despise. It makes no sense to me. I think that silk santal started my hate like why is that fragrance not permanent? It’s the best fragrance in the entire brand haha
So annoying. Like I want to give you my money but you refuse to take it. Kayali kept saying they'd re-releaae Silk Santal since it was so popular but never happened. I found a spot on dupe (rep) but I shouldn't have had to.
@@reintroduceyou I keep hearing september or December for the re release. Also I heard the summer collection is going to be released as singles but like whyyyy even do it to begin with
Agreed. It’s a very passive aggressive thing for a brand to do to their customers. When you fall in love with a scent but you can’t buy it again, it’s depressing. And then you’re there trying to ration it so you don’t run out completely and never get to smell it again. I’m sentimental about my fragrances like that.
I tried the Vanilla Skin body mist at Anthropologie a few days ago. It's going to be gorgeous to spritz my clothes with during fall & winter. I think the body mist is the way to go with this, instead of the perfume.
I like this Kayali set. I love that Kayali offers the mini bottles of their fragrances. I tend to buy travel sizes so I love that I can have the look of the full size in a mini. They are so cute. You can always keep the ones you like and give away the rest.
For me the vanilla skin edp lasted over 8 hrs I can still smell it on me throughout the night it’s so beautiful and with the body & hair mist it enhances it a lot more I personally am obsessed with Vanilla Skin edp and hair & body mist
I really wanted the Kayali summer set but I knew I was going to hate 2 of them. I wish they’d let you buy them separately. That Marakesh one sounds right up my alley. 😭
I loved Marrakesh by Kayali, I would get a full bottle as it is unique to me. I did love the whole set experience though, it was so much fun! I did not expect them to be groundbreaking, but I wear them to bed and am excited to choose every time :)
I personally would have been so mad if one of my Kayali sprayers was messed up! For $100 that is unacceptable. I feel like they do not put much care into that kind of stuff. I'm still mad my Easy Bake perfumes label was lopsided 🤣
I blind bought a 30ml of the Akro Smile. it wasn’t what I was expecting but I’m really loving it in the heat. It’s like lemon raspberry sorbet that dries down to a light raspberry musk, which does stick around. I’m pretty sure no one around me can smell it though.
I really like smile! It kept reminding me of my childhood. I figured out why and dont wanna ruin it for you cause it did kinda bum me out when I realized what it smelled like but its a beautiful raspberry sage scent
I tried the Nest Madagascar Vanilla & Balinese Coconut at Anthropologie - neither of them were for me. But I tried something called Nest Golden Nectar that was really unique & interesting, in a good way! Am definitely going to wear-test that again.
I adore the Kayali set ! I just wish the full size of each fragrance were available! I might purchase a backup set! Thanks for your video, before today I didn’t know that you had a channel dedicated to fragrances ( of course, I just subscribed ) ❤
Vanilla Skin reminds me of a less intense By the Fireplace. I am making myself use that up before buying Vanilla Skin. I’m glad to have a vegan and cruelty free option for when I want to replace BTF now!
Agree, I'd definitely watch even just a short review every month! They often show up on Poshmark after the fact so I'd like to know if they're worth a pick up.
I really didn’t care for Rose Era the first time I smelled it in Ulta. It had something in it that made me want to keep sniffing it but I still couldn’t rock with it. A couple weeks later I revisited it and smelled it again especially in skin and I was in LOVEEEE. I really enjoy layering it with any vanilla scent. Truly lovely! 🩷
Akro Smile is so good. I am regretting purchasing the 30ml. Will definitely consider a larger bottle. But you are right, its smells like a gin fruit drink. Love the ice tea vibes for summer. Snif Rose Era was returned immediately. What it smelled like to me was those scented rose petals used for baths. I found it tacky.
The way I paused and read all the notes on the Noyz sampler and said "okay, she went for Unmute but was intrigued by Shi**y Day because of the fig"... I hit the FLOOR when you said you picked Love Club! Baby what was you doin'??? As far as the Skylar I LOVE their fruity and citrusy scents so Citrus Reverie is probably definitely a safe blind buy for me but I already have Tropical Harvest and Capri Summer so not sure if my collection needs another. I'm sure I will love it but maybe not more than my two supremes. Very intrigued to smell Juice as well, it sounds delicious! Very here for the fruity trend, I know you love it Lauren but all of the woody vanillas bore me haha
From the reviews I’ve seen on the Kayali set, I feel like I’m the only one who liked the Maldives in a Bottle the best 😆 but I would say- I am NOT a fan of limited edition perfumes… so stressful 😩
In an earlier video you mentioned you'd like to find a Native deodorant to like. They've added my favorite scent to their regular line finally. Vanilla & Sandalwood. That's all it smells like -- good vanilla and good sandalwood. Lasts all day, smells great by itself, and works with every single perfume and body spray I own. I'd love to know what you think of it. 🙂
My favorite Kayali Vacay in a Bottle was Maldives! I absolutely love it. I also liked the Capri and Maui as well. Marrakesh is not my style, but smells like my Mom so I plan to give it to her. I really hope to see Maldives in a full size bottle.
Interesting! I really loved the Kopari mists. I thought they were very unique for body mists and I was pleasantly surprised. I think I know what you mean though, there's an underlying dna between the four. I agree about the Kayali scents!
As someone with sensitivities to most scents (there are a scant handful of perfumes I can tolerate without getting a migraine), I've been loving your content! Our tastes couldn't be more different, but the way you describe some of the scents has me salivating.
Milk by commodity is one of my favorite colder month scents, so I blindly bought a 100Ml of Juice! I am more of a vanilla, woodsy, spicy girl. However, I really like it!! I’m glad I bought it and kind of want to buy the bold version too. Thanks for your reviews ! I really wanted that Kay Ali set and I’m glad I didn’t buy it.
I actually have never heard of LoveShackFancy until your videos. Endless Dreams??? Smells DELIGHTFUL. It’s a strong floral in the beginning, but once it settles in, omg just creamy, floral, sweet, and flirty. Love it!!
I agree on the Kayali line. Like they’re cute and the scents are decent but if I smelt them in store I probably wouldn’t have bought any of them. I was tempted to return them but figured I’d keep them in case I need to freshen up while out. A throw in the purse type of thing
I bought two phlur perfumes (soft spot and vanilla skin) and both bottles the sprayer part was loose and unscrewed and both perfumes have leaked out. I think the brand should look into the quality in that department….
I love your glam, and you are soo right about the Kayali mini release. They should have given us the option of 50ml like they did for the oudgasm collection
The Laura mercier scents are good. I have three roller balls I got in a set a while ago and they are good! Amber vanille is in there along with an almond one that is delicious.
Phlur Vanilla Skin is gorgeous. The mist imo is prettier but I love the perfume as well. Bonfire Bash is my FAVE from BBW so I'm soooo happy Phlur developed this scent.
For me… i loved the kayali set!! Im def someone who likes new scents and just having options so this just did it for me… only one i didnt like from that set was the orange bottle -the other three tho ❤❤
Best unisex leather fragrance of all time is Ombré leather. Ughhh I gotta keep a bottle at ALL times! It’s macerated too, and that leather with violet? It dries down so addicting and makes me pucker my mouth it’s just sooo delicious!! I love smelling like a biker chick who loves to make bad decisions 😂❤
I loooove Juice! It starts off VERY herby and green, very comparable to Margiela From the Garden (almost like fresh tomato leaves). But as it dries down, it becomes a beautifully tart rhubarb and berry jam. 🍓🫐🎉
Haven't found it officially mentioned yet but Skylar Citrus Reverie is exactly the same as a 2023 scent club offering, Tropical Harvest. They've done this before, with scent club Fruitful Bliss that was renamed as Sunkissed Dahlia as part of the permanent line. I really enjoy both actually!
I have both Fruitful Bliss and Tropical Harvest, so it’s good to know I can always get them in full-sized form if I’d ever want to! Petition for Skylar to do that with more of their monthly scent club scents tbh 👀👀
Your nails are incredible so beautiful. Maybe next year they will release full sizes of the perfumes. I just can't order it its too expensive here without smelling first. Here in Canada Kayali is expensive but it doesn't stop me if i love it, i have alot of them. Love for me all of the ones i have.
27:20 i can’t smell anything at sephora over the general “sephora” smell lol. ive sniffed things i love at home at sephora and they either smell bad or don’t smell like nothing at all in that environment haha
I got the Mini of the Vanilla Candy perfume..these bottles are Super gorgeous, not to mention the fragrance is to die for👌 I hope Mona gets a good return on these, cos the bottles themselves are precious🌸
Yes i tried the new commodity juice in their space set. luckily it did not cost much. i will finish them but i will not buy a full size. ellis brooklyn miami nectar does not last but soooo i returned it.
Vanilla Skin EDP smells pretty identical to the mist to me, maybe a tad spicier in my opinion. It definitely is stronger and lasts longer though. I don’t think you need both unless you absolutely love the body mist. I’m happy to have it though, especially for the Fall and Winter! I picked up Rose Era too even though I typically don’t like rose but I’m liking it. I think the rose isn’t too stuffy or powdery, it’s more fresh and aquatic. It’s growing on me.
Unmute by Noyz is the one I liked as well 😅😅 got a sample paper of it and went “ooooooh 🤔” couldn’t quite figure out if it was a like or a love. Even after going into ulta and spraying my wrist/walked around for a while and I’m STILL on the fence about it. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts when/if you pick it up!!!!
I feel like the last few sniff ones I try have that bacarat drydown. Slice society and soda snob. Once the top notes are gone that's what I smell. I see the rose one has miss and saffron also in the base.
When you say you make the wrong choice when asked to choose from a sample pack, do you actually look at the accords on fragrantica (not just the notes) this and parfumo’s « pie charts » really help me get a feel of the fragrances because I kind of remember what the ones I like look like
I was waiting to hear your thoughts on the new summer Kayali set! I normally get sucked in by their marketing and buy all of their releases on the first day, but I always dislike them. I told myself Pistachio Gelato was the last straw, but got suckered by Vanilla Rock Candy. 😅😅 Glad I skipped this summer set!
hi I hope you don't mind someone else responding to this - but rose jam to me is like candied rose and rose era is like powdered rose. rose era the rose is def more prominent - because I like sweeter scents I prefer rose jam.
I’d love to know how long the Laura Mercier Ambre Vanille lasts on you and how strong it is! I’ve heard people say they love the fragrances and body lotions from Laura Mercier, but I wasn’t sure if they were worth it, as they are kinda expensive.
I bought the KayAli set and the Phlur. I think you should try the KayAli on the skin, it’s a completely different experience. I’m in love with Capri and Marrakesh in a Bottle. Both get so much better in their dry down on the skin. I’m really sad I can’t get full sizes of these. The Marrakesh really changes on the skin. It starts to give a Love Don’t be Shy feel. I’m not saying it’s a dupe or anything but it gives me a LDBS feel. It’s very beautiful. Capri is my favorite, it’s so pretty. I’m into the lemon/bakery scents and it really gives me that. It’s very similar to Devotion but with maybe more of a spice to it. I really want this one in a full size. I’ve actually been looking at resale sites so I could buy another bottle. I may actually buy another set. Then there the Phlur, I love it. I definitely gets me compliments. I already had the body mist and I couldn’t wait to buy the actual fragrance. I find it stronger and it does last on the skin. I do think you can get nose blind to it because I thought it had faded on me and then I went out shopping and got stopped a couple of times and told I smelled good. I love the body mist but I’ll completely in love with the actual fragrance. I got the Laura Mercier too! Ipsy had it for $30. I actually really like it. It’s very simple but still very pretty. The more I use it the more I like it. It’s great for layering or to wear to bed.
I also think that Kayali is doing the Sol de Janeiro thing where they release a sampler of new sets and create a full bottle of 1 or 2 of them get popular. I personally wouldn't buy it, but I totally get it from a business perspective
Really liked that you did this video. I share the same sentiments; Alot of new releases has been fails for me also….im not as excited about fragrance releases because a lot have been duds
Maidives in a bottle. Was the one I was very hesitant on. But then when I sprayed it and I got my bottle of it, I am to falling in love with it I would actually get a full size bottle in that one something about that one kind of reminds me of like sipping a really refreshing cocktail in the heat of summer, the rosemary note I was so worried about and that’s what made it me so Hesitant about it but once I sprayed it on and tried it on my skin I was like this is refreshing this is kind of like Mojito vibes but like tropical it has a tropical lake warms but it’s also really cooling. I can’t wait to wear it with my like coconut sense kind of towards the other summer. I really like the lemon that’s one of my favorites but then again, I’m a sucker for a lemon kind of vanilla to me that was more lemon candy. It smells like Lemonheads to me. Maui in a bottle I had a really high hopes for and I was actually kind of disappointed in it. I wanted a little bit more banana and I felt like it was a little bit too reminiscent of vacation for me that made me disappointment with that one. And as for the Marrakesh in a bottle, I agree with you that’s my least favorite, but it also reminds me of the orange blossom perfume that The Body Shop released when I was working there.
I love the vacay set so I’m so sad people aren’t liking it and we probably won’t get any permanent/bigger bottles 😭 Im obsessed with marrekesh and capri is very nice as well. I consider some to be unisex
I tried Vanilla Skin today in store and I actually really liked it! To be fair, I never tried the body mist, and it almost reminds me of Ledda Vanilla Nera and Atelier Cologne Vanilla Incensee, both of which I decluttered so I'm not sure why I like Vanilla Skin. 😂 I already have Whiff of a Waffle Cone so don't know if I NEED this (they don't smell the same, but similar family). But I do like that Phlur is clean/non-toxic so it might be worth replacing WOAWC. I'll probably try it again in the fall.
I really love the new snif rose era but I do think it is VERY laundry detergent. I like that (I like smelling like clean laundry in general) but man, it is powerful.
Oh no! I had high hopes for those Kopari scents. I love their signature coconut scent. Maybe if I see them in stores I'll give a sniff. I also am really intrigued by Noyz "unmute". I got a sample card in an Ulta catalogue and quite like how it smells. I'm not big on rose either so "love club" doesn't really interest me. I was hoping to hear that Commodity "Juice" was a little different. I like the house in general so I'd at least give it a sniff at Sephora.
I do LOVE the new Phlur soft spot (also I hate the “limited edition” scarcity kayali drop, as well as no full bottles. Can someone say “cash grab”? Not spending a dime on it)
I was glad I didn't go full size for the Kopari scents, I have a review up. 9 really like the pink and peach one but the two "most requested" scents are NOT my jam to be honest but I don't want to talk is on those since apparently the kopari girlie wanted this 😅
I like unmute from noyz. I’ll wait for a sale on it to pick it up. I want to get my nose on Juice but haven’t gone for it yet because I’d have to blind buy.
I appreciate the lemon one in the kayali set but I prefer bake. Maui is good but doesnt project and last long enough imo for being only a 10 ml i’m scared to reapply 🤣 Maladive is truly a masterpiece it’s a nice aromatic take on a beachy scent sometimes we don’t really see usually I would get a full size bottle of this one.
I wasnt head over heels for any of the Kayali Vacays. Interestingly enough people say Kayali has no staying power. But i find that most Kayali does well for me. However the vacays (especially Capri) were hardly noticeable after an hr. Maybe they need to mature. Fun to try but nothing Id want in a permanent fragrance.
Ugh. Don’t get me started with Kayali atomizers 😵💫.. I have sooo many of the travel sprays and the minis and at least 25% are BAD. Try spraying Vanilla 28 (dark juice) when it’s coming out like a squirt gun 😂.. and I’m still salty about The Wedding Silk so no, I’m not a fan of limited editions / releases. That was my favorite and I’m still holding on to the last four drops like it’s gold.
I purchased the new scents from Phlur, and I opened my package and one of the tops had twisted off and leaked half the fragrance into the package. I mean, it smelled really good, but half my bottle!? I reached out to them, but haven't heard anything yet.
I had a strong reaction to the fact that the Kayali set had to be purchased as a set.. like why? You’re so right, it makes it seem more like body mists but at a premium. I don’t like when I can’t just choose “my one” so it’s a no for me. And yeah, if I had really enjoyed one it would have been nice to then buy a full bottle so they’re really missing out on my money in two different ways.
I think they will release some of these as full size but it’s just too many releases to have all of these perfumes full size releases
@@Nopi9but they did that with Oudgasm, those were 4 scents too…I love kayali but I just don’t want to buy 4 together.

The Laura mercier scents are good. I have three roller balls I got in a set a while ago and they are good! Amber vanille is in there along with an almond one that is delicious.
Yes I love them!
Sometimes this is the reality😂 the orange blossom 🌼 is my favourite out of the line because it smells like an Arabic dessert rez bi halib
Phlur Vanilla Skin is gorgeous. The mist imo is prettier but I love the perfume as well. Bonfire Bash is my FAVE from BBW so I'm soooo happy Phlur developed this scent.
For me… i loved the kayali set!! Im def someone who likes new scents and just having options so this just did it for me… only one i didnt like from that set was the orange bottle -the other three tho ❤❤
I love the nest Madagascar Vanilla I was never a Vanilla lover but this body mist transform me😍
Best unisex leather fragrance of all time is Ombré leather. Ughhh I gotta keep a bottle at ALL times! It’s macerated too, and that leather with violet? It dries down so addicting and makes me pucker my mouth it’s just sooo delicious!! I love smelling like a biker chick who loves to make bad decisions 😂❤
My favorite fruity scent is PDM Meliora. I also love Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom.
Thanks Lauren! I trust your nose way, way more than mine and you have never been wrong, at least for me! 💕
oooo i definitely wanna try smile. i'm curious about commodity juice because i love pulp by byredo and i want to see how they compare!!
IMO they are not at all similar but I LOVED Juice when I smelled it at Sephora recently
I loooove Juice! It starts off VERY herby and green, very comparable to Margiela From the Garden (almost like fresh tomato leaves). But as it dries down, it becomes a beautifully tart rhubarb and berry jam. 🍓🫐🎉
@@lindsaykar5477 oooo ok good to know. i do still def want to smell it!
@@Good-Morning oh interesting!! i don't always do well with super green scents but that drydown is very intriguing
@@Good-Morningdo you find it close to Angel Nova?
Haven't found it officially mentioned yet but Skylar Citrus Reverie is exactly the same as a 2023 scent club offering, Tropical Harvest. They've done this before, with scent club Fruitful Bliss that was renamed as Sunkissed Dahlia as part of the permanent line. I really enjoy both actually!
I have both Fruitful Bliss and Tropical Harvest, so it’s good to know I can always get them in full-sized form if I’d ever want to! Petition for Skylar to do that with more of their monthly scent club scents tbh 👀👀
Your nails are incredible so beautiful. Maybe next year they will release full sizes of the perfumes. I just can't order it its too expensive here without smelling first. Here in Canada Kayali is expensive but it doesn't stop me if i love it, i have alot of them. Love for me all of the ones i have.
27:20 i can’t smell anything at sephora over the general “sephora” smell lol. ive sniffed things i love at home at sephora and they either smell bad or don’t smell like nothing at all in that environment haha
I got the Mini of the Vanilla Candy perfume..these bottles are Super gorgeous, not to mention the fragrance is to die for👌 I hope Mona gets a good return on these, cos the bottles themselves are precious🌸
Yes i tried the new commodity juice in their space set. luckily it did not cost much. i will finish them but i will not buy a full size. ellis brooklyn miami nectar does not last but soooo i returned it.
Vanilla Skin EDP smells pretty identical to the mist to me, maybe a tad spicier in my opinion. It definitely is stronger and lasts longer though. I don’t think you need both unless you absolutely love the body mist. I’m happy to have it though, especially for the Fall and Winter!
I picked up Rose Era too even though I typically don’t like rose but I’m liking it. I think the rose isn’t too stuffy or powdery, it’s more fresh and aquatic. It’s growing on me.
Unmute by Noyz is the one I liked as well 😅😅 got a sample paper of it and went “ooooooh 🤔” couldn’t quite figure out if it was a like or a love. Even after going into ulta and spraying my wrist/walked around for a while and I’m STILL on the fence about it. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts when/if you pick it up!!!!
I just don't understand limited edition fragrances. Especially in a travel size. The Kayali is such an easy pass for me personally,
Well now we need you to review the new RMS fragrance and the two new body mist from Phlur ❤ I trust your nose more than anyone else!
I feel like the last few sniff ones I try have that bacarat drydown. Slice society and soda snob. Once the top notes are gone that's what I smell. I see the rose one has miss and saffron also in the base.
i loooove kayali but i’m glad i passed on the summer set, i was only interested in 1 and just couldn’t justify it
I think the LoveShackFancy reminds me of Jessica Simposon’s Fancy. I really like it ❤
My vanilla skin travel spray came with it slightly spilt also and the lid got black stuff all over my hands
When you say you make the wrong choice when asked to choose from a sample pack, do you actually look at the accords on fragrantica (not just the notes) this and parfumo’s « pie charts » really help me get a feel of the fragrances because I kind of remember what the ones I like look like
I was waiting to hear your thoughts on the new summer Kayali set! I normally get sucked in by their marketing and buy all of their releases on the first day, but I always dislike them. I told myself Pistachio Gelato was the last straw, but got suckered by Vanilla Rock Candy. 😅😅 Glad I skipped this summer set!
Hi, I love kayali set. Like all 4.
How would you compare Rose Era to Rose Jam from Lush?
I’m not super familiar with Rose Jam so I feel like I can’t really give a comparison! Sorry!
hi I hope you don't mind someone else responding to this - but rose jam to me is like candied rose and rose era is like powdered rose. rose era the rose is def more prominent - because I like sweeter scents I prefer rose jam.
I’d love to know how long the Laura Mercier Ambre Vanille lasts on you and how strong it is! I’ve heard people say they love the fragrances and body lotions from Laura Mercier, but I wasn’t sure if they were worth it, as they are kinda expensive.
I bought the KayAli set and the Phlur. I think you should try the KayAli on the skin, it’s a completely different experience. I’m in love with Capri and Marrakesh in a Bottle. Both get so much better in their dry down on the skin. I’m really sad I can’t get full sizes of these. The Marrakesh really changes on the skin. It starts to give a Love Don’t be Shy feel. I’m not saying it’s a dupe or anything but it gives me a LDBS feel. It’s very beautiful. Capri is my favorite, it’s so pretty. I’m into the lemon/bakery scents and it really gives me that. It’s very similar to Devotion but with maybe more of a spice to it. I really want this one in a full size. I’ve actually been looking at resale sites so I could buy another bottle. I may actually buy another set. Then there the Phlur, I love it. I definitely gets me compliments. I already had the body mist and I couldn’t wait to buy the actual fragrance. I find it stronger and it does last on the skin. I do think you can get nose blind to it because I thought it had faded on me and then I went out shopping and got stopped a couple of times and told I smelled good. I love the body mist but I’ll completely in love with the actual fragrance.
I got the Laura Mercier too! Ipsy had it for $30. I actually really like it. It’s very simple but still very pretty. The more I use it the more I like it. It’s great for layering or to wear to bed.
I also think that Kayali is doing the Sol de Janeiro thing where they release a sampler of new sets and create a full bottle of 1 or 2 of them get popular. I personally wouldn't buy it, but I totally get it from a business perspective
The best citrus Skylar has done is Citrus Grove. It was part of their monthly rollerball program. I WISH I had that fragrance in a full size.
I LOVE Juice. I bought all three of them.
Which is your favourite?
Really liked that you did this video. I share the same sentiments; Alot of new releases has been fails for me also….im not as excited about fragrance releases because a lot have been duds
I have had phlur fragrances come leaking and half full.
Thanks for saving my money on the Kayali and Kopari! 💜
Maidives in a bottle. Was the one I was very hesitant on. But then when I sprayed it and I got my bottle of it, I am to falling in love with it I would actually get a full size bottle in that one something about that one kind of reminds me of like sipping a really refreshing cocktail in the heat of summer, the rosemary note I was so worried about and that’s what made it me so Hesitant about it but once I sprayed it on and tried it on my skin I was like this is refreshing this is kind of like Mojito vibes but like tropical it has a tropical lake warms but it’s also really cooling. I can’t wait to wear it with my like coconut sense kind of towards the other summer. I really like the lemon that’s one of my favorites but then again, I’m a sucker for a lemon kind of vanilla to me that was more lemon candy. It smells like Lemonheads to me. Maui in a bottle I had a really high hopes for and I was actually kind of disappointed in it. I wanted a little bit more banana and I felt like it was a little bit too reminiscent of vacation for me that made me disappointment with that one. And as for the Marrakesh in a bottle, I agree with you that’s my least favorite, but it also reminds me of the orange blossom perfume that The Body Shop released when I was working there.
I love the vacay set so I’m so sad people aren’t liking it and we probably won’t get any permanent/bigger bottles 😭
Im obsessed with marrekesh and capri is very nice as well. I consider some to be unisex
I noticed the pizza scent in Rose Era too! Thought I was crazy!
I tried Vanilla Skin today in store and I actually really liked it! To be fair, I never tried the body mist, and it almost reminds me of Ledda Vanilla Nera and Atelier Cologne Vanilla Incensee, both of which I decluttered so I'm not sure why I like Vanilla Skin. 😂 I already have Whiff of a Waffle Cone so don't know if I NEED this (they don't smell the same, but similar family). But I do like that Phlur is clean/non-toxic so it might be worth replacing WOAWC. I'll probably try it again in the fall.
I’m wondering if kayali is planning to launch a full size next summer of whichever vacay fragrance has the best reception
Updated perfume collection please!
The Kayali Maui is by far my favorite and I would immediately buy a full size bottle
I do like the Maldives as well
have you tried orebella yet????
I really love the new snif rose era but I do think it is VERY laundry detergent. I like that (I like smelling like clean laundry in general) but man, it is powerful.
That sounds up my alley too. But I’m in Canada and getting it here is too pricy.
On me, it smells like an intensely sweet rose water syrup in the best way possible. It makes me feel so delicious! Turkish delights, anyone? 😂🎉
I get laundry detergent and coach poppy! lol I was like oh man this is my early 20s scents all over again
Oh no! I had high hopes for those Kopari scents. I love their signature coconut scent. Maybe if I see them in stores I'll give a sniff. I also am really intrigued by Noyz "unmute". I got a sample card in an Ulta catalogue and quite like how it smells. I'm not big on rose either so "love club" doesn't really interest me. I was hoping to hear that Commodity "Juice" was a little different. I like the house in general so I'd at least give it a sniff at Sephora.
I would have liked to have been able to buy the small Maui one only...
Noyz unmute is so good IDK IF I SHOULD GET A FULL BOTTLE ;-;
I do LOVE the new Phlur soft spot (also I hate the “limited edition” scarcity kayali drop, as well as no full bottles. Can someone say “cash grab”? Not spending a dime on it)
I love your videos and your taste on perfumes. Please do a popular middle eastern perfume pls
I loved Unmute but the first day that I wore it, I had 3 guys tell me that it smelled like old lady. So I returned it
noooooo fuck other people! wear it if you love it! 😩
I was glad I didn't go full size for the Kopari scents, I have a review up. 9 really like the pink and peach one but the two "most requested" scents are NOT my jam to be honest but I don't want to talk is on those since apparently the kopari girlie wanted this 😅
I like unmute from noyz. I’ll wait for a sale on it to pick it up. I want to get my nose on Juice but haven’t gone for it yet because I’d have to blind buy.
I appreciate the lemon one in the kayali set but I prefer bake. Maui is good but doesnt project and last long enough imo for being only a 10 ml i’m scared to reapply 🤣 Maladive is truly a masterpiece it’s a nice aromatic take on a beachy scent sometimes we don’t really see usually I would get a full size bottle of this one.
I wasnt head over heels for any of the Kayali Vacays. Interestingly enough people say Kayali has no staying power. But i find that most Kayali does well for me. However the vacays (especially Capri) were hardly noticeable after an hr. Maybe they need to mature. Fun to try but nothing Id want in a permanent fragrance.
Noyz unmuted is too similar to 7 virtues amber vanilla. Check it out. What do you think?
Ugh. Don’t get me started with Kayali atomizers 😵💫.. I have sooo many of the travel sprays and the minis and at least 25% are BAD. Try spraying Vanilla 28 (dark juice) when it’s coming out like a squirt gun 😂.. and I’m still salty about The Wedding Silk so no, I’m not a fan of limited editions / releases. That was my favorite and I’m still holding on to the last four drops like it’s gold.
I felt the SAME way about vanilla skin perfume! I found it wasn’t the same as the mist
OMG scent is so different for each person because I loved LOVE CLUB LOL Its the one I liked the most from the collection
I can totally see other people liking it but I think it’s just not right for me!!
Have u tried burberry Goddess intense?
I didn’t realize there was going to be an Intense!! Thanks for putting it on my radar!! I will for sure be trying since Goddess is one of my faves!!!
@@laurenmaefragrance I know! I already bought it!
I purchased the new scents from Phlur, and I opened my package and one of the tops had twisted off and leaked half the fragrance into the package. I mean, it smelled really good, but half my bottle!? I reached out to them, but haven't heard anything yet.
