I made it!!! I love vanilla!! Green vanilla, sweet vanilla, bourbon vanilla, caramel vanilla, airy vanilla, floral vanilla orchid, summer vanilla, vanilla attar!! Give me all the vanillas hahahahahaha
Oh my... that thumbnail made me gasp! So beautiful.. you look so lovely in that blue & white!! 🤩🤍💙 Oooh yes Architect's Club ! I think of you when I hear that scent mentioned! (I wore it to bed the other night and Michael said oh you smell like cookies and caramel!) 😅😅 Aww Tres Chere! I should get PJ to watch this video, you know she loved this one.. and Architects club as well! 😃🙌🏼
Okay. I really do enjoy your reviews and candor. I purchases fragrances for my wife and adult daughter all the time ....maybe too much. That said, I have purchased several based on your reviews.
The bottle is gorgeous and I so want to try it but I have yet to smell a ylang-ylang dominant scent that doesn't smell like rotten bananas. I don't know why my nose perceives ylang-ylang in such a bad way but every single time it just goes left and I almost lose my lunch. Maybe this might be the exception. I think I'll try to find a sample at a reasonable price to give it a try and cross my fingers.
Wow these all sounded so beautiful! I love wearing vanillas in summer, especially if it has a little salty touch to it like Vanilla Vibes or Chant d'Extase. 😊 Great video my friend! ❤🫶🏻
My comment was deleted 😢. I don't know why. I did mention the price I paid for Angélique Noire and how much I've been enjoying it and Vanilla Planifolia. Anywho...I was excited to watch. Thanks Chris!
Great list. One of my favorite and most recent vanillas is Vanilla Nera by Ledda. It’s gorgeous. Not flat and overly sweet. It has depth and a bit of spice to it. I Love It❤
@@ThePerfumeNest I have to be honest I’ve blind bought all 3 within the last 4 months and absolutely love them. The newest one is tropical/coconutty and done really well.
@@AScentedSoul I really liked the sample of Vanilla Nera I smelled even though the sample was unfortunately broken during shipping. It's definitely a grown and sexy vanilla with just the right touch of spice and darkness.
For those who like salty/sea breeze vanillas I highly recommend Couleur Vanille by L'Artisan Parfumeur. Such an unusual smelling marine vanilla and it kept me intrigued. Not my style but I can appreciate the direction it went and I know many people out there would love it.
@@ThePerfumeNest It really is a beautiful quality sea breezy vanilla. I honestly think if I can find a larger spray on sample it might grow on me. There was nothing nasty, weird, or jarring about it but the combination of notes gives it an unusual smell that kept me sniffing it. It isn't tropical, more like hanging out on a sailboat wearing a nice vanilla fragrance and enjoying the salty air as you cruise through the water.
Such a great topic Chris. I’ve learned that I quite enjoy vanillas that are paired with floral or citrus elements work well for me in summer 😊❤ love architects club though!
I didn't like vanilla vibes. It smells boozy. It actually smelled like the Greek beverage "ouzo" together with vanilla. It also had a lipstick kind of smell that was off-putting!!!!!! I am a man, so. Now, I wonder how bosca vanilla smells because according to reviews it smells like a fresh aquatic vanilla which is exactly what i am searching for.
Yay thank you!! Where did you find it? All of the sudden it seems to be sold out everywhere when just a few months ago it was at the discounters and everywhere. ❤️
@ThePerfumeNest I got mine last year from Allbeauty but I'm in the UK. It's still discounted on Notino. I can't fathom how availability is sometimes so regional 🤷♀️.
If any fellow gentlemen are watching, don’t be put off by the name of Mind Games - Queening. After sampling the entire house, Queening was the one that blew me away and I had to purchase a bottle straightaway. I must be honest, I haven’t tried it in the summer but I do see that it could work year-round.
Lucky for those who like ylang in gold. It pulled vintagy on me from top to mid. I only enjoyed the dry down. 😒Can't purchase just for the dry down. I may give the Acqua Allegoria another attempt. Didn't like it when I tried it 6 months ago. It was up for a good price so missed out on a deal if it now works on a 2nd attempt.

I ❤️❤️❤️ that you started off with M. Micallef! Ylang in Gold & Note Vanillee are staples in my collection. I’ve always worn NV during colder months, so I really need to try it in warmer weather. I’m an Eau Duelle girl for sure. I have the EDT which I wear in spring/summer & the EDP which I wear in fall/winter! Now you’ve got me intrigued by The Architects Club. Might have to acquire a decant to compare!

Aw thx so much for stopping by!!! VdA is not going to be for everyone but I’m so glad they released it and it’s almost exactly as I remember Vanille d’Iris being. ❤️❤️
So many of these are on my wishlist. I did get a sample of berrylicious and liked it a lot. Such an easy & fun wear. It kind of reminds me of a watermelon scent including the rind and fruit. I enjoy all your videos., thanks

You got a lot of my favorite vanillas here. I surprisingly use Berrylicious a lot. Seems to hit the spot no matter what mood I am in. Hope you are well and enjoying the summer 💕💕💕
@@hintofscentiment oh my gosh how exciting!!! I guess it depends on your taste, the weather, your gown…..but I have a handful; something timeless and classy (Fleurissimo by Creed), a Chanel (Les Exclusifs) , Valaya. Tropical weather / destination wedding : Ylang In Gold, Frangipani by Chantecaille or even Solar Blossom which is an orange blossom masterpiece. Just off the top of my head ❤️❤️
I agree!!! It has made so many of my best of lists (including Summer Vanilla last year) but I stopped showing it because it’s sadly discontinued and really hard to find. ❤️
I wanna smell like an “angel on the beach”! I guess I need to retest Tres Cher’s. I really need to try the new Ormonde Jayne. I thought you might put Inside Out by The Gate on this list. Have a great 4th of July! 🎆🎇🎆
Hello Chris, I love Vanilla Planifolia. I remember it being sold out for almost a year, and when I finally got my bottle (it was a blind buy, too), I was super happy like I’d hit a jackpot. Queening is on my wishlist. If you haven’t smelled it yet, Guerlain’s Aqua Allegoria Bosca Vanilla is another winner, and in my opinion, a good summer vanilla. 🌞🌞🌞🥰
Hi Marie! I love Bosca Vanilla! I’ve mentioned it in several recent videos including this one. 😂❤️😉 I’m so glad VP is back in stock! It was sold out forever!
Love ALL vanillas Atelier Cologne: Vanille Insensee is a year rounder for me (unfortunately getting harder to get your hands on😢) Zoology Harvest Mouse 🐭❤
Hi Chris, you look beautiful today. MMMM vanilla, my favourite. Unfortunately I haven't been feeling well, so I haven't been wearing any perfumes. Maybe soon....
Hey, Chris! I require my vanillas to have some complexity, even in summer. Vanille des Afriques is on my list, to be sure, but I haven't smelled it yet. I'm pretty sure I'll love it, though. I think I'm going to cave and buy a dupe for the Guerlain Bosca Vanilla since I can't get the real deal. I just love Guerlain so much! A favorite summer vanilla of mine is Vaniglia del Madagascar by Farmacia SS Annunziata. I think there's the very subtle/ faint notes of citruses and strawberry at the beginning and then dry woodiness in the drydown that remind me of summer.
Hey there!!! That Forte Bosca was everywhere like 6-8 weeks ago and now poof! It’s gone. I had two bottles of the Vaniglia Del Madagascar by Farmacia and used to show it all the time here on my channel but stopped when it got discontinued. It’s one of my all time favorite perfumes. 🥲
Thank you! It’s a lot heavier in person than it looks on camera with 4 bright lights and a window! It’s almost all affordable drugstore makeup today! I usually put in the description box what I used because I always get asked. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@ThePerfumeNest Try Sexual Sugar by Michel Germain. I swear that when I first smelled my sample of Acqua e Zucchero I thought it smelled like exactly like Sexual Sugar! Sexual Sugar is way better in smell than Pink Sugar, too and doesn't have that horrible burnt note in it (well, Pink Sugar smells burnt to me).
I love Architects Club. My Eau Duelle is long gone, may purchase the travel size as I don't need another 100 ml of a scent I've already had. Good to know I don't need the new Ormonde Jayne as I still have 1/3 bottle of the Iris Vanille. I will test the new one in the shop next time. I may have to blind buy that Chloe Vanilla. I know Nordstrom has a good return policy, which I have never taken advantage of. I prefer to test first, but it's not in the store. Don't know why Nordstrom has the boring fragrances in the store and the unique stuff online. Great review!!
Vanille des Afrique sounds wonderful! In general vanilla perfumes are not my jam, the ones I like need to smell like perfume, not like a dessert. I have a few but they need to have other complementary notes for me to like them so this one seems to be right up my alley.
I am dying tl try note vanille !!! I have a feeling that will be my signature scent.. i dont want more than 40 perfumes i have 20 :) top 3 are must de cartier edt , mancera velvet vanilla , born in roma (& intense actuallybut its kinda weak) but yeah i just know i would love note vanille. As soon as i have $$$ im getting it. I wonder if the nectar one is better ? Do u know? I am absolutely loving your channel .. im new to perfumes i used to only have 1 for years it was Good Girl . I cant afford all the amazing expensive ones cuz im a single mom and not yet making bank , but i will one day !! God told me to get i to network marketing n having dreams about success in it so thats what i started :) anyway you habe a loyal subscriber i will be watching all of your videos n have been going back , i just adore u !! Beautiful classy and cool.. thx for the awesome videos and explanations xoxo
Melissa! Your sweet comment literally made my week! My month! I will cherish it. 🙏🏻❤️ you have an incredible spirit and I wish I knew you in person because you sound like an amazing person. For the longest time I only had one or two perfumes; I was a forever student or apprentice and could not afford more. If I didn’t have a YT channel there is NO WAY I would have anything close to this amount. I love that you are positive and have dreams! It’s so important!!! Thank you so much for the kind words and you can enjoy so many perfumes without spending a fortune. I personally have been buying more travel sizes (5-10mls) which is a perfectly wonderful way to enjoy a fragrance without spending a ton. You absolutely don’t need a FB to enjoy and own a perfume. I’m a firm believer in that.
Very picky about my vanillas so I do not have many. That said, I received a sample of Bosca Vanilla Forte with an order I placed from Guerlain and ordered it immediately. Think I will give Ylang In Gold a try.
@@ThePerfumeNest I like it is a watery vanilla which is not typical. YEARS ago Henri Bendel had a perfume called Vanilla Flowers that was not sweet or powdery but had that watery note. I think this reminds me of that but this has that marine salt which makes it special.
Thanks Chris for this list, a lot of them sounds amazing! I just bought my very first high end parfume, Gypsy Water for this summer. I also bought, thanks to you, Zen by Shiseido and love them both. Unfortunately Donna by Trussardi is a bit too much white florals for me, can´t pintpoint out which flowernote I dislike but I like the drydown. Hopefully I will get to love this one too ;-)
I dismissed Vanilla Powder initially, but now I am wondering if I should revisit. Are you familiar with Un Bois Vanille, Serge Lutens? It has woods, vanilla, and coconut too. Initially, it was a challenge for me and now I’m a full devotee. Interesting how sometimes we have to get to know a fragrance before falling for it!
Yes!!! I used to have Un Bois! It’s lovely! And Vanilla Powder is a gorgeous beast of a perfume, it just unfortunately pulled very heavy on a molecular musk on me
My new Note Vanille has a prominent rose, I did test it on skin many times in the store and there was no rose to be found... So, a bummer... La Cautiva and Vanilla Powder remain my preferred vanillas when I go out in the heat, and I'm even contemplating buying Silky Woods Elixir for the hot days, just didn't test it on skin, yet. I look forward to testing the Guerlain Vanilla for when I'm indoors this summer.
Oh my goodness! It must be a new batch. I don’t really get rose in mine. I mean maybe a smidge ??? So thanks for leaving this warning about the new batches. Just curious, where did you get your bottle?
@@ThePerfumeNest Europe, in Montenegro on a trip, actually. The juice is lilac in colour, and the testers are yellow everywhere. It's like Rose Turkish delight 😕
I bought a small vial of Ylang in Gold after hearing many great reviews about it... turned out that to me it smells like cleaning products. Does this happen to other people or is my sense of smell broken?
@elisasanchezcorrea9739 So sorry to hear that but you did the right thing to sample first 👏. Recently there was a Commodity new release and everyone was waxing lyrical about it; I was sitting there thinking let's wait 6 months before we see how many of them declutter it 🤷♀️. Anyway, keep enjoying and exploring...
I mentioned in another comment that ylang-ylang tends to smell like rotten bananas to me and lemon/grapefruit dominant scents smell like cleaning products or urine to my nose so no, your sense of smell isn't broken lol. I will say to let the scent sit for a bit if you still have it and then go back to it because when I first got a sample of Jovoy's Fire At Will I wasn't that impressed but when I went back to smell it again after about two months I was drooling over it! The sample was almost empty from evaporation so I couldn't even spray it on me to test it but wow, it smelled amazing! I have a larger sample coming to test drive it and if it makes me weak in the knees again, then I'll get a travel spray size for sure.
@@ThePerfumeNest Yes and swing i did they were out of the samples for the perfume oils but i did order the fragrance you showed today, yeah i love buying from small Indie Brands as well, and i love that their perfume aren't expensive so you've never steered me wrong Chris and i love you for that, so now i'll just sit back and wait for my bottle to arrive.oh and yes i used your code LOL
I’ve been trying to get a scent similar to vanilla berry sorbet (a bath and body product that was discontinued) which was supposedly a scent described as summery berries and sweet vanilla cream. I was wondering if maybe the Acqua e Zeccchero or Berrylicious perfumes would be more closely related?
Hi there! Well Berrylicious might be closer as Acqua is more of a vanillic cotton candy scent with some undertones of berries but Berrylicious is more berry forward. I would get a sample from Lucky Scent. That’s how I started…with the sample set
My favorite perfume was Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Luxe edition, do you remember that one? I would love to know if you would have a dupe for that. It was Jasmine,creamy, vanilla powdery and more. I have the regular Cashmere Mist, it’s just not the same. Thank you for any suggestions you may have!!!😊
I purchased Note Vanilla and received a free 30ml bottle of Ylang N Gold and could not be happier!!!!

@@ThePerfumeNest Thank you so much!! I’m going for timeless so I’ll be checking out Fleurissimo! Will also revisit Valaya as well 🤍🤍
Kenzo World Power is amazing for summer though technically its tonka but its the most amazing aromatic summer vanilla ever which lasts forever also!
I agree!!! It has made so many of my best of lists (including Summer Vanilla last year) but I stopped showing it because it’s sadly discontinued and really hard to find. ❤️
I wanna smell like an “angel on the beach”! I guess I need to retest Tres Cher’s. I really need to try the new Ormonde Jayne. I thought you might put Inside Out by The Gate on this list. Have a great 4th of July! 🎆🎇🎆
😂😂I know right??!👼🏖️ oh my goodness I completely walked right by Inside Out! It would have been perfect!🤦♀️😂
My favorite category: vanillas!
Really need to try Vanilla Planifolia as I love Cedrus so much.
Great video, as always!
Ah yes! VP is another Quinten Bisch masterpiece!! 🙌
Hi Chris! Love your outfit today! ❤ Great list! I need to wear more vanilla in the summer!
Ylang in Gold! ❤ Love anything Arquiste! ❤
Hey lovely! Thank you! 🙏🏻 ❤️❤️
I have Note Vanillee but never tried it in the summer. I will now, thanks for the recommendation!
I was the same! 😂
Hello Chris, I love Vanilla Planifolia. I remember it being sold out for almost a year, and when I finally got my bottle (it was a blind buy, too), I was super happy like I’d hit a jackpot. Queening is on my wishlist. If you haven’t smelled it yet, Guerlain’s Aqua Allegoria Bosca Vanilla is another winner, and in my opinion, a good summer vanilla. 🌞🌞🌞🥰
Hi Marie! I love Bosca Vanilla! I’ve mentioned it in several recent videos including this one. 😂❤️😉 I’m so glad VP is back in stock! It was sold out forever!
Oh! 😂 I’m lacking in the “attentive” department, I missed that….my bad 😁 I forgot to mention that I love your top. 🥰
Love ALL vanillas Atelier Cologne: Vanille Insensee is a year rounder for me (unfortunately getting harder to get your hands on😢) Zoology Harvest Mouse 🐭❤
Yes. Such a shame it was discontinued. And I adore Harvest Mouse!
Hi Chris, you look beautiful today. MMMM vanilla, my favourite. Unfortunately I haven't been feeling well, so I haven't been wearing any perfumes. Maybe soon....
Aw thank you! And gosh I hope you feel better. It sux to not be feeling well. I’m going to knock on this wood plank next to me right now.
@@ThePerfumeNest Thnx Chris
Hey, Chris! I require my vanillas to have some complexity, even in summer. Vanille des Afriques is on my list, to be sure, but I haven't smelled it yet. I'm pretty sure I'll love it, though. I think I'm going to cave and buy a dupe for the Guerlain Bosca Vanilla since I can't get the real deal. I just love Guerlain so much! A favorite summer vanilla of mine is Vaniglia del Madagascar by Farmacia SS Annunziata. I think there's the very subtle/ faint notes of citruses and strawberry at the beginning and then dry woodiness in the drydown that remind me of summer.
Hey there!!! That Forte Bosca was everywhere like 6-8 weeks ago and now poof! It’s gone. I had two bottles of the Vaniglia Del Madagascar by Farmacia and used to show it all the time here on my channel but stopped when it got discontinued. It’s one of my all time favorite perfumes. 🥲
@@ThePerfumeNest Of course, because we are scent sisters!
❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌🙌🙌
Love me a summer vanilla ❤
Yay!
Très chère is amazing. It would have been in my top 10 for life if the performance was better
Yes I agree it’s not a powerhouse by any stretch
Your makeup here is so flattering !!
Thank you! It’s a lot heavier in person than it looks on camera with 4 bright lights and a window! It’s almost all affordable drugstore makeup today! I usually put in the description box what I used because I always get asked. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your amazing recommendations add so many fun frags to my "try" list... wheeee!
You are so adorable thank you!!🙏🏻
I get cotton candy from Acqua e Zucchero too. So, good. I need to add this asap
It’s expensive for what it is , but I haven’t found anything close that I enjoy more and it’s a beast and has amazing longevity. ❤️❤️
@@ThePerfumeNest Try Sexual Sugar by Michel Germain. I swear that when I first smelled my sample of Acqua e Zucchero I thought it smelled like exactly like Sexual Sugar! Sexual Sugar is way better in smell than Pink Sugar, too and doesn't have that horrible burnt note in it (well, Pink Sugar smells burnt to me).
I love Architects Club. My Eau Duelle is long gone, may purchase the travel size as I don't need another 100 ml of a scent I've already had. Good to know I don't need the new Ormonde Jayne as I still have 1/3 bottle of the Iris Vanille. I will test the new one in the shop next time. I may have to blind buy that Chloe Vanilla. I know Nordstrom has a good return policy, which I have never taken advantage of. I prefer to test first, but it's not in the store. Don't know why Nordstrom has the boring fragrances in the store and the unique stuff online. Great review!!
😂😂😂I agree. I haven’t been to Nordstroms in person in over a year but remember thinking how their in store selection has gone WAY down.
Just ordered a travel spray of the Mizensir.
Hey Jill! It does wear lightly. But it’s so pretty. I enjoy it as a work scent
Vanille des Afrique sounds wonderful! In general vanilla perfumes are not my jam, the ones I like need to smell like perfume, not like a dessert.
I have a few but they need to have other complementary notes for me to like them so this one seems to be right up my alley.
Hey there!! You are not alone. I hear that all of the time
@@ThePerfumeNest my favorite vanillas are Vanilla Diorama and Lune Feline. 🤍
I am dying tl try note vanille !!! I have a feeling that will be my signature scent.. i dont want more than 40 perfumes i have 20 :) top 3 are must de cartier edt , mancera velvet vanilla , born in roma (& intense actuallybut its kinda weak) but yeah i just know i would love note vanille. As soon as i have $$$ im getting it. I wonder if the nectar one is better ? Do u know? I am absolutely loving your channel .. im new to perfumes i used to only have 1 for years it was Good Girl . I cant afford all the amazing expensive ones cuz im a single mom and not yet making bank , but i will one day !! God told me to get i to network marketing n having dreams about success in it so thats what i started :) anyway you habe a loyal subscriber i will be watching all of your videos n have been going back , i just adore u !! Beautiful classy and cool.. thx for the awesome videos and explanations xoxo
Melissa! Your sweet comment literally made my week! My month! I will cherish it. 🙏🏻❤️ you have an incredible spirit and I wish I knew you in person because you sound like an amazing person. For the longest time I only had one or two perfumes; I was a forever student or apprentice and could not afford more. If I didn’t have a YT channel there is NO WAY I would have anything close to this amount. I love that you are positive and have dreams! It’s so important!!! Thank you so much for the kind words and you can enjoy so many perfumes without spending a fortune. I personally have been buying more travel sizes (5-10mls) which is a perfectly wonderful way to enjoy a fragrance without spending a ton. You absolutely don’t need a FB to enjoy and own a perfume. I’m a firm believer in that.
I also have Tres Chere but if I’m honest I go nose blind to it almost straight away. I hardly smell it 😫
It’s not strong that’s for sure. I am heavy handed but I like that it’s safe for work
Beautiful Chris,
I love vanilla ❤
I need to get my hands on a couple of these.
How sweet are you??!!
Very picky about my vanillas so I do not have many. That said, I received a sample of Bosca Vanilla Forte with an order I placed from Guerlain and ordered it immediately. Think I will give Ylang In Gold a try.
I love it also! What do you like about it? That sunshine-saltiness?
@@ThePerfumeNest I like it is a watery vanilla which is not typical. YEARS ago Henri Bendel had a perfume called Vanilla Flowers that was not sweet or powdery but had that watery note. I think this reminds me of that but this has that marine salt which makes it special.
Thanks Chris for this list, a lot of them sounds amazing! I just bought my very first high end parfume, Gypsy Water for this summer. I also bought, thanks to you, Zen by Shiseido and love them both. Unfortunately Donna by Trussardi is a bit too much white florals for me, can´t pintpoint out which flowernote I dislike but I like the drydown. Hopefully I will get to love this one too ;-)
Hey there! Well you have some nice ones. Thank you for your feedback; it will be helpful to others!!
I love Tres Chere! It is a bit of a drug for me now. I have 2 bottles. Just hooked one of my friends on it as well.
Oh I can see that! Just curious….how many times do you think you spray when you wear it?
@@ThePerfumeNest I spray 10-15x on skin and clothes. It sticks around on me for hours, but it does not project immensely.
What a great list Chris! I’m going to pull out Note Vanille and see how I like it 💜
Yes ! I was surprised it worked in the warmer months this!!
Hey Chris, am bringing out my M. Micallef Note Vanille to use. I have to try one of the others for work
Thanks for a great video ❤🎉
Hey there! I’m interested to see if you enjoy it also in the warmer weather!!
Thanks to you I have and absolutely love Architects Club!
Yay!!
I don’t like Ylang in gold 😢 I wanted so bad it works for me! I will get a sample of note vanille 🤞🏻
Yea that’s happened with me and some really popular perfumes. But I look at it like “awesome!” I just saved my money! 😂
The way you describe the scents makes me want to soak in them! 😂😂
lol! Aw. ❤️❤️❤️
I tried Vanille des Afriques and wanted to love it but i leaned very vegetal and masculine on me
It is not going to be for everyone you are right. ❤️
They all sound beautiful! 😍
Hey my friend!!
@@ThePerfumeNesthey back at ya Sweetie!❤️
I dismissed Vanilla Powder initially, but now I am wondering if I should revisit. Are you familiar with Un Bois Vanille, Serge Lutens? It has woods, vanilla, and coconut too. Initially, it was a challenge for me and now I’m a full devotee.
Interesting how sometimes we have to get to know a fragrance before falling for it!
Yes!!! I used to have Un Bois! It’s lovely! And Vanilla Powder is a gorgeous beast of a perfume, it just unfortunately pulled very heavy on a molecular musk on me
My new Note Vanille has a prominent rose, I did test it on skin many times in the store and there was no rose to be found... So, a bummer... La Cautiva and Vanilla Powder remain my preferred vanillas when I go out in the heat, and I'm even contemplating buying Silky Woods Elixir for the hot days, just didn't test it on skin, yet. I look forward to testing the Guerlain Vanilla for when I'm indoors this summer.
Oh my goodness! It must be a new batch. I don’t really get rose in mine. I mean maybe a smidge ??? So thanks for leaving this warning about the new batches. Just curious, where did you get your bottle?
@@ThePerfumeNest Europe, in Montenegro on a trip, actually. The juice is lilac in colour, and the testers are yellow everywhere. It's like Rose Turkish delight 😕
What??? That’s cookoo.
bosca vanilla is the best vanilla perfume ever
Oh I love to hear this thank you for the feedback!!!❤️
Hi sweet Chris !! Nice to see you 😊 Love your shirt or kaftan 😅 Love your videos and your aura 💙
Aw thank you!! You are so sweet!!!🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
@@ThePerfumeNest 🤗❤️
I bought a small vial of Ylang in Gold after hearing many great reviews about it... turned out that to me it smells like cleaning products. Does this happen to other people or is my sense of smell broken?
It is over hyped for me. I had to sell my bottle. :(
@elisasanchezcorrea9739 So sorry to hear that but you did the right thing to sample first 👏. Recently there was a Commodity new release and everyone was waxing lyrical about it; I was sitting there thinking let's wait 6 months before we see how many of them declutter it 🤷♀️. Anyway, keep enjoying and exploring...
I mentioned in another comment that ylang-ylang tends to smell like rotten bananas to me and lemon/grapefruit dominant scents smell like cleaning products or urine to my nose so no, your sense of smell isn't broken lol. I will say to let the scent sit for a bit if you still have it and then go back to it because when I first got a sample of Jovoy's Fire At Will I wasn't that impressed but when I went back to smell it again after about two months I was drooling over it! The sample was almost empty from evaporation so I couldn't even spray it on me to test it but wow, it smelled amazing! I have a larger sample coming to test drive it and if it makes me weak in the knees again, then I'll get a travel spray size for sure.
@@DarlingNikki2 good to know! Thanks for your reply.
Hi Chris! My Ylang came damaged and was spraying just the gold dust😂
@@dennisedelamo8278 oh my gosh! Where did you get it from??😳
@@ThePerfumeNest fragrancebuy
Oh gosh. Can you return it? You should!
@@ThePerfumeNest yes I can just need to send them pictures of the damage.
Great video!
I just ordered several things from Dyad with your code. Thanks so much!
Aw yay!! I need to see if their oils are back in stock! And their newest release looks delish!
@@ThePerfumeNest I ordered two oils and a perfume spray.
I only have some of their oils. Need to work on getting sprays. Love them!
You have great taste Chris … lovely 🥰… and you are so beautiful 😻…
Oh wow thank you!!
i'm going to check out Dyad Candle Thanks Chris.
Aw I’m sure they will love having you swing by. So sweet of you. ❤️❤️I enjoy shining a light on small indie brands.
@@ThePerfumeNest Yes and swing i did they were out of the samples for the perfume oils but i did order the fragrance you showed today, yeah i love buying from small Indie Brands as well, and i love that their perfume aren't expensive so you've never steered me wrong Chris and i love you for that, so now i'll just sit back and wait for my bottle to arrive.oh and yes i used your code LOL
@@ComeUnboxWithTheresa aw yay! I know with the discount it’s like 51$? I think you will find that it’s soft and pretty. ❤️❤️
@@ThePerfumeNest Yes then shipping, i love soft pretty perfumes i dont alwats need a loud perfume, that's why i love 22 Orris so much.
What do you think about Mancera Cocoa Vanilla?Do you have video about it? You look great as always😉💚
Thank you!! And I liked it! I just never got the FB because I have SO many in that category. ❤️
Love your thumbnail chris! 😍
Omg! Thank you so much sweetie! 🙏🏻❤️
I’ve been trying to get a scent similar to vanilla berry sorbet (a bath and body product that was discontinued) which was supposedly a scent described as summery berries and sweet vanilla cream. I was wondering if maybe the Acqua e Zeccchero or Berrylicious perfumes would be more closely related?
Hi there! Well Berrylicious might be closer as Acqua is more of a vanillic cotton candy scent with some undertones of berries but Berrylicious is more berry forward. I would get a sample from Lucky Scent. That’s how I started…with the sample set
Thank you so much! Will definitely be sampling around now
My favorite perfume was Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Luxe edition, do you remember that one? I would love to know if you would have a dupe for that. It was Jasmine,creamy, vanilla powdery and more. I have the regular Cashmere Mist, it’s just not the same. Thank you for any suggestions you may have!!!😊
Oh my gosh I don’t think I ever smelled that flanker! 😱
@@ThePerfumeNest thank you so much for your reply! I am determined to find something similar!😊
