Hi Alex I would just squirt a little squirt of that perfume tomorrow after the smells get out of your house and the smells get out of your nose a day later I've never heard of the perfume before. I have a problem with perfumes I get nauseous headaches really quickly if they have some scent in it and I have never come across and it's only women's perfume men's cologne I can smell all them all day long I could wear them all day long.
Shiseido is a higher end Asian skincare brand, and their products are great for your skin, lots of good ingredients without lots of extra stuff you don't need. Same for Sulwhasoo. Before I forget, thank you for recording so many videos before your wedding. I'm sure we all would have understood a bit of radio silence. Having said that, it would be awesome if you could post few pix of Scotland here for those of us without Instagram. Regardless, big congratulations. So very happy for you. Have fun. Be safe. Much love. 😀💜💜💜
I love these videos too. I also follow a Swedish influencer, who opens over 100 advent calendars every season. It’s awesome, because then you know which one(s) to get
idk if you've already heard of it but the harrods beauty advent calendar is soooo good for its price! its like 1k value for 300 dollars. i've seen some of the items inside and they're mostly full sized!! i love this series sm LOL
Alexandria is seriously my favorite unboxing queen. Her sweet, genuine reactions are just the best. I don’t celebrate Christmas but I do love this season for the weather, the holiday music, Will Ferrell’s Elf, and Alexandria’s advent chaos. 😂
It's very interesting that they're putting added value on the samples. Theoretically, at least here in the UK, if something is a sample and/or marked 'Not for Sale (separately)' then it actually has no individual sale value. I know some places do sell 'miniatures', which is fine, but if they're 'samples' and not for sale separately then the calender only has a value of exactly what they sell it for and no more. If that makes sense. 🖤
some brands sell their sample sizes here in the US, although I'm not sure if they're marked as "samples" or "miniatures". for us the "not for sale separately" usually means that the safety information is not included, so it must be sold as part of a larger set which does include the ingredients (or best buy date or whatever else)
Sort of sample size either way, but was that Bulgari perfume sample or travel size? It looked relatively large compared to the usual samples. Here in the UK the smallest available size is 50 ml, for £140/$165.
@@nerdygoth6905 It was probably a 'deluxe sample', something we don't really see much of here in the UK, but they're still distributed freely but usually to more elite clients rather than us plebs. 😂 That said, I have been sent two designer luxury fragrances recently in 2ml sprayers. Both were free and posted to me - department stores give them out too. If you try to buy them they can be up to £10 or more when they're the 'sale samples' and not the free ones. Fragrances are a crazy business and the margin is OBSCENE in most cases.
That’s how it should be they give you sn outrageous value but it’s only the value if things where full sized it’s called false advertising but a technique they use and as you see people like her have money to blow
There are so many channels doing advent calendars, but none do them as well as you! They all act like the prizes are so fabulous, when they aren’t and you are the only one that has the best expressions when it turns out to be crap. Congrats on the wedding! Hoping to see photos, if you feel comfortable sharing!
This. I noticed this as well. So many ppl are trying this this year that I've never seen do them before. What they don't know if we are here for Alexandria lol
Being a frag head, I wasn't expecting so many perfume samples in a single advent calendar that were popular scents (plus the discovery sets and niche houses at that). I was happy to see a delina set but realized really quick that she wouldn't like those at all. Eitherway, was so excited to see Alexandria review them. It's like a cute little crossover of unboxing and frag yt spaces.
The Baccarat Rouge 540 is 1000 percent worth that calendar because that size you received basically paid for a quarter to half your calendar. lol its the most addicting yummy luscious smell I've ever smelled! It's amazing! If you want to try almost an exact dupe, Dossier fragrances has one, and then sol de Janeiro makes a pink body cream that smells just like it! Love your videos!
i had a very fancy lady name my perfume as the baccarat rouge one a while back. she walked by and almost verbatim says ‘i like your perfume it’s baccarat rouge’ and me a target employee that had never heard of that awkwardly chuckled and said ha ha thank you yes and walked away. it was not said $350 perfume. it was ariana grande cloud. so maybe a dupe idk i have not smelled said extremely expensive perfume so i cannot confirm 100%
Cloud is supposed to be close there are a lot of fragrances that have a similar feel and some companies that offer a selection of inspired by versions too
@@carolinehintze9543 I have crystal from alt fragrances it’s supposed to be identical to baccarat also Burberry her is supposed to have the same DNA similar vibe too
I've smelled cloud, her, the alt version, and in the stars used to be the only thing I wore before I discovered baccarat. I can 100% confirm that there is no replacement for the real thing unfortunately for my wallet 😞
Anyone else notice that a lot of UA-camrs are doing advent season ??? Just me? Have they always done it? I watch these cause I love Alexandria to pieces she's so honest and relatable?
These videos and the calender ones of years past have been getting me through work for the past couple weeks, and sleep. You're just such good company.
I’m also a collector and hoarder, and I love baccarat but I’ve only owned one bottle of it and I used it up within a couple months😂 an now I know better if I ever get a new bottle I will conserve. If you want a dupe, Ariana grande cloud is very similar. I’ve never had a problem with longevity an projection with the baccarat. It’s always lasted on my skin like no other. I also had the hair perfume too lol
@@The_Cherokee_Gypsy love fragrances but unfortunately don’t have the funds to justify designer brands even if I do love them. I’ve found Alt fragrances they have similar scents to the real thing and I really enjoy many of the fragrances they have including their version of baccarat. Might not be an exact match, but my budget just can’t justify the real thing oven if it’s way better.
Thanks to watching Alexandria's unboxings for a year now, every time I see a Charlotte Tilbury product I have the irresistable urge to pronounce it exactly as she does and my daughters look at me like I'm crazy!!!
“Subtle notes of Hubba Bubba Bubble Gum” had me crying. Alexandria’s sense of humor is so incredibly funny to me. The charlotte tilsbury/Bloomingdale’s voices 🤌🏽*chefs kiss*
I can't tell for everything, but the full size la prairie eye cream alone is 525$... so yeah I think this calendar is worth it. Also, I'm a french canadian and I love it when you try to say the name of the french brands :)
Oh my gosh, you have me rolling on the floor with your expressions, descriptions and the reading of the products from the wrong side. Thank you for making my night. I hope your wedding is fabulous and wish you both all the best. So happy you have found your soulmate. 👍🏼🤣🥰😂
You were one of the first UA-camrs I actually religiously followed. Life got me away from UA-cam but every holiday season I always come back looking for you! Advent calendar season 2022!
@@shannonrickard8605 Actually high end skincare and makeup are typically way better quality than drugstores. Obviously there's a huge markup on all makeup and skincare but you can definitely tell a different between maybelline and Charlotte tilbury or clean & clear and Lancome.
@@nicolenoel1448 definitely agree with this however also fun fact! Most of the more luxury brands also own your cheaper drugstore make up brands as well and are often made in the same factories! So there's definitely a difference in the ingredients but it's usually the same umbrella company running these brands and are often just trying to hit as many different socio-economic demographics as possible.
French person here! Clé de peau is pronounced cleh de (like how americans pronounce deux) poh (but a short 'oh', almost like the o in hold). I'm sure you don't care and it's not a big deal, but I've watched you struggle with the name of this brand last advent season too haha. It actually translates to "key of skin" literally.
I laughed hideously loud so many times. I had to keep pausing the video and explaining to my family that I wasn't actually losing my mind. Advent calendar season is helping me live my best life.
I truly mean this with no ill intent, but hearing you read other languages always make me think of dory “speaking whale” from finding nemo. Makes me smile every time
Makes me want to make a calendar for my daughter next year. I can pick things up all year that I know she likes. I still do stockings for my kids , even though they are over 24! Those stockings are packed to full! Essential oils, flashlites, hand sanitizer, Keychain, personal alarm, candles or wax melts, personal color of makeup, etc. Lol. a person could do 24 days or 30 days before your wedding box! Depending on the expense of a nice box, a few friends could go in on the gift. Wine, gift cards for coffee, dinner, somewhere they frequent, an event! I want to do one for my granddaughter. She's just about 3 so I think it would be a bit much for her to open one door a day! Not so sure my daughter could wait either lol.
Would love an update on what happened to the Chanel advent! How did you make use of those fabulous, high-class and very high quality items (stickers)? Thanks!
I love Baccarat rouge 540, the scent lasts all day and I get so many compliments when I wear it. There is a dupe, it's from Dime perfume it's the Dans les bois one, and I think it's under $50!
It's getting closer to that wedding day hope you have everything ready. I can't wait to see some pictures of you as a beautiful bride. God bless you and your fiance on
I immediately thought of the "You got lipstick in my Valentino bag!?‽" mom when you got the lipstick because that's the only Valentino thing I know too. Hahaha same page
Alexandria... I can't. Every single time I watch your video's I feel like ima piss my pants from laughing so hard. I love your personality, it's just hilarious! Thank you for bringing happiness and smiles to my day! 🤣🤣🤣
Baccarat rouge is stunning. Your nose can go anosmic with this fragrance so because you sprayed all the other perfumes you might not be able to smell it but I promise you .... Try it on another day, ON SKIN, and you will understand the magic as you where it. Even when you can't smell it, other people will be able to.
I have the alt version and if I spray certain fragrances it just doesn’t smell like anything but on its own it does stand out it’s a great summer scent not so much a fall and winter scent
I have the original and I can confirm this. Ariana grande cloud is a dupe for sure, but hers has a more marshmallow tone as baccarat has more amber grit. I have went through my bottle of baccarat so fast an now I regret it lol
That clinique moisturizer is so gentle, I use it on sunburns and it calms my skin, reduces the redness and stops the peeling. Not that it's sunburn season but not likely to cause breakouts. Edit: Yankee candle used to do tiny jars of coffee beans to "cleanse the palate" and I still sniff whatever coffee is in the house when I need a reset. Love advent calendar season!
Sisely black rose WORKS!! I have seborrheic dermatitis which basically means my skin is extremely dry and flaky- like to the point of literal face dandruff and Black Rose makes my skin feel EXTREMELY hydrated and so baby soft! It's really heavy moisture so if you're oily on the chin or something I'd just use it on the dry parts and then the barest amount elsewhere.
Hands down one of the best and most usable expensive calenders so far! Can't wait to see what's next. I love watching you open these because it tells me if there worth buying.
I work in the perfume department and I’ve learned that after smelling about 5-6 different perfumes your brain cannot smell anymore 😂 try coffee beans in between 😊
I don’t know if anyone has commented this yet, but next time you have many perfumes to smell, have a jar of coffee beans with you! Smelling the beans in between each perfume cleans the pallet so you’ll be able to smell everything 😄 it’s like eating a piece of ginger in between pieces of sushi! In my home town a local department store has jars of coffee beans at the perfume section, that’s where I learned it from.
I feel like you might enjoy Yesstyle's advent beauty calendar. All of the products inside it are full-size Korean skin and makeup items, so it might be a new experience for you due to the culture difference, but they're definitely worth your money!
Hiii Alexandria! I hope everything is going well for you with the wedding and everything else I absolutely love these and love the beginning with the Advent calendar (I have that one too!) And the doggo calendar, too cute 💖
When I was in middle school I went into Claire’s at the mall and tried a rolling thing like that, assumed it was for my mouth. It was in fact a perfume. You’re not alone.
Hey, Just a tip for when you have a lot of perfumes to smell,have a bowl or glas with coffee beans in it. After every smell of a perfume,smell the coffee beans. The coffee smell "resets" your smelling and then you can take in the new smell again 😊 Hope this makes sense 😊
Whenever you're smelling multiple scents then have some coffee beans to smell in between. This cleanses your palate so that you can clearly and easily smell the next item. Source - I've been in enough high end perfume shops to have coffee beans or something else that does the same to be able to know it works. Also coffee beans are da bomb!
Ariana Grande Cloud Banana Republic dark cherry and amber (? Definitely cherry and something) Both dupes for BR540 For reference, I like the smell of it but not on me!
Why yes, especially since Diors $650 box did. 😂 Oh wow, have you heard that the Sephora Advent Calendars in Europe are fantastic! They are full of full name brands, not a Sephora product in there. It’s so not fair.

@@lauriedaniele5967 baccarat is a better summer scent in my opinion but I do like it it’s kinda sweet and gourmand but not fully so
Advent calendar season is truly the best. I live vicariously through your channel
She makes not spending money very easy!
Same!
I've been binging all her advent calendar videos for a week
I love these videos too. I also follow a Swedish influencer, who opens over 100 advent calendars every season. It’s awesome, because then you know which one(s) to get
Same
I love the gradual shift from "it's so tiny and cute!" to "...they can't all be that tiny, right?"
The perfume samples, although small, and all of the bougie brands give this calendar the $750 value. The 15ml travel size you got retails for $89!!
Agree… the La Labo alone was probably over $100.
Holy F^ck - that's a lot!
That's honestly just absurd. Anyone who would pay that amount has more money than brains.
Yeah the Sulwhasoo is not cheap, even their travel sizes go for quite a bit.
@@SuperSarahbop you're one of those people that responds to truth with "that's negative" arent you lmao
idk if you've already heard of it but the harrods beauty advent calendar is soooo good for its price! its like 1k value for 300 dollars. i've seen some of the items inside and they're mostly full sized!! i love this series sm LOL
She did Harrods a year or 2 ago.
Is it just skincare ?
I think she did it last year too
She did one 10 months ago.
She probably has one on the way.
Next time there is a lot of perfumes in a box, keep some coffee beans near by and sniff in between perfumes. ❤️
came here to suggest the same! coffee beans are a great nose-palette cleanser!
Would ground coffee work too? Because im too poor for coffee beans lol
@@adianer6445 I've used grounds and it worked for me 😀
The doggie advent calendar openings at the end are always a nice pallet cleanser from the items that come before it

I’m somewhat of a perfume collector / perfume hoarder - imo baccarat 540 isn’t really worth the price for the longevity and projection!! 🧡
When it comes to perfume I truly believe you have to buy it within the first 2 to 3 years before they mess with the longevity.

I immediately thought of the "You got lipstick in my Valentino bag!?‽" mom when you got the lipstick because that's the only Valentino thing I know too. Hahaha same page
Alexandria... I can't. Every single time I watch your video's I feel like ima piss my pants from laughing so hard. I love your personality, it's just hilarious! Thank you for bringing happiness and smiles to my day! 🤣🤣🤣
Baccarat rouge is stunning. Your nose can go anosmic with this fragrance so because you sprayed all the other perfumes you might not be able to smell it but I promise you .... Try it on another day, ON SKIN, and you will understand the magic as you where it. Even when you can't smell it, other people will be able to.
I have the alt version and if I spray certain fragrances it just doesn’t smell like anything but on its own it does stand out it’s a great summer scent not so much a fall and winter scent
I have the original and I can confirm this. Ariana grande cloud is a dupe for sure, but hers has a more marshmallow tone as baccarat has more amber grit. I have went through my bottle of baccarat so fast an now I regret it lol
your quiet rage truly brings joy to my life
That tiny Valentino lipstick would be perfect for your wedding day...easy to carry and a beautiful gentle shade🤔❤️❤️❤️

That clinique moisturizer is so gentle, I use it on sunburns and it calms my skin, reduces the redness and stops the peeling. Not that it's sunburn season but not likely to cause breakouts. Edit: Yankee candle used to do tiny jars of coffee beans to "cleanse the palate" and I still sniff whatever coffee is in the house when I need a reset.
Love advent calendar season!

Sisely black rose WORKS!! I have seborrheic dermatitis which basically means my skin is extremely dry and flaky- like to the point of literal face dandruff and Black Rose makes my skin feel EXTREMELY hydrated and so baby soft! It's really heavy moisture so if you're oily on the chin or something I'd just use it on the dry parts and then the barest amount elsewhere.
You make these unboxings so entertaining, “the pool hall’s trying to kill me.” 🤣
Hands down one of the best and most usable expensive calenders so far! Can't wait to see what's next. I love watching you open these because it tells me if there worth buying.

I work in the perfume department and I’ve learned that after smelling about 5-6 different perfumes your brain cannot smell anymore 😂 try coffee beans in between 😊
betting the dog advent is the best one you open all season. its certainly the cutest part.
“😱 I missed!!!!!” Had to rewind to watch you reaction again. 😂 girl! Same! I would have reacted the same for that price!!!
Liquid Balm!!! I love it! Thank you for sharing your great videos and your great personality!
I don’t watch anyone else’s advent unboxings! Alex is the advent season queen 😊

“I MISSED” had me crying
I don’t know if anyone has commented this yet, but next time you have many perfumes to smell, have a jar of coffee beans with you! Smelling the beans in between each perfume cleans the pallet so you’ll be able to smell everything 😄 it’s like eating a piece of ginger in between pieces of sushi! In my home town a local department store has jars of coffee beans at the perfume section, that’s where I learned it from.

I feel like you might enjoy Yesstyle's advent beauty calendar. All of the products inside it are full-size Korean skin and makeup items, so it might be a new experience for you due to the culture difference, but they're definitely worth your money!
Hiii Alexandria! I hope everything is going well for you with the wedding and everything else I absolutely love these and love the beginning with the Advent calendar (I have that one too!) And the doggo calendar, too cute 💖
Sniffing coffee beans between perfumes helps you smell each scent better. I think the beans help reset your sense of smell.
When I was in middle school I went into Claire’s at the mall and tried a rolling thing like that, assumed it was for my mouth. It was in fact a perfume. You’re not alone.
Hey,
Just a tip for when you have a lot of perfumes to smell,have a bowl or glas with coffee beans in it. After every smell of a perfume,smell the coffee beans. The coffee smell "resets" your smelling and then you can take in the new smell again 😊
Hope this makes sense 😊
Advent calendar queen. I love this season!!
OMG! My beloved Boston, Wendell, used to do those excited little taps when he was getting a treat! Adorable!

Oh man, I don't know if $750 adds up one tiny stank sample at a time 🤣
Pupvent makes my entire freaking day, thank you!
That Bumble and Bumble hair mask is GOoD!!! Love that whole line!!
Your Creed impression just about killed me! 🤣
The Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream is amazing. Your dry skin will love it!
🤣 Bloomingdales just always makes me think of the movie SPLASH. 😍otherwise I've never been to one or even seen one in person 😅
Also👋' She's a fish, no really, like a fish"
Same lol.
Wow… I would love this one. There is something about itty bitty cute things that makes my heart feel happy. 😂
Girl, the creed perfumes!!! They're sooo expensive and got for like $500/$600 a bottle!! Definitely great value here
Whenever you're smelling multiple scents then have some coffee beans to smell in between. This cleanses your palate so that you can clearly and easily smell the next item.
Source - I've been in enough high end perfume shops to have coffee beans or something else that does the same to be able to know it works. Also coffee beans are da bomb!
It's nothing high end, I've smelt coffee beans at drugstores in-between testing as well haha
Ariana Grande Cloud
Banana Republic dark cherry and amber (? Definitely cherry and something)
Both dupes for BR540
For reference, I like the smell of it but not on me!
Burbury her was designed by the same guy who made baccarat so it has that DNA it’s not a dupe though
Why yes, especially since Diors $650 box did. 😂 Oh wow, have you heard that the Sephora Advent Calendars in Europe are fantastic! They are full of full name brands, not a Sephora product in there. It’s so not fair.
Probably because they JUST got Sephora over there (at least in the UK), so Sephora is trying to impress them. Or catfish them. Either way. 😅
That cle de peau cleansing foam is the absolute best! I've had a sample once and craved more ever since but man it's 'spensive.
You know it's the holiday season when she starts bringing out the Advent calendars 🍾

When she fanned the paper I swear it sounded exactly like when the characters run in place on Scooby Doo. Took me right back to my childhood.
That Bobbi Brown face base is THE one! AND...was that perfume you thought was lip balm Le Labo? It looked like it. 💕
Wim hof showers are life changing. I swap between hot and cold in a few cycles and it really awakens me and gets me going
These companies with these little samples 🤯💙

That Bobbi brown face base is the best for makeup prep! So good
That eye cream is over $200 dollars for a full size 😱. Might be more expensive than la mer
And the face caviar full size is $995 😭😭😭
Keep a dish with coffee beans so you can sniff it between perfumes? To like ...clear your nose palate?
Those are amazing perfumes at least!
