I love this series! Would love to see a declutter if you’ve been doing any. 😛
Yay! My favorite series 🙌🏿
Thank you for talking about Sospiro !! Would love to hear more SHL reviews. I can’t wait to try venom incarnat.
Well, if you need someone to take them off your hands.. feel free to send them to my 11 year old 😂😂😂 I find all my designer perfumes in HER room now that she’s interested in smelling good!! I need a safe now 😅
Oh my gosh that's amazing! You taught her well 😄❤️
I absolutely love these videos. 👍
I totally agree about Carmina. I love thèse videos you do! ❤️
This is my favorite series on your channel! So entertaining and helpful! ❤
I'm so glad!
Always so interesting hearing your opinions! I have Creed Carmina and I pick up the cherry as the most prominent note on me for sure (and that's as a person who doesn't love a super strong rose scent). Not sure what it is in my body chemistry but it was definitely one of my favorite pickups last year :)
Hi Anne ❤ love this series of yours, keep it up! 😊
Thank you!!
Hi Anne I love this video series so so much, still saving me so much money and really appreciate your honest opinions on all the hyped ones! Thank you!💖💖
of course! ❤️❤️
Love your reviews! You are so engaging and funny!! You are one smart cookie! Your channel is classy, witty and smart! Keep up the great content!!❤😊
Thank you Michele!! ❤️
Thanks Anne! Hope you are having a great day as well. I can only guess you get mean comments with your honesty but truthfully, it's your honesty that helps your viewers the most and keeps us coming back❤
That means a lot! ❤️ I definitely get a couple on most videos, but I can't please everyone, so I just gotta keep it real, and I know that some people will appreciate it :)
Always waiting for your videos! Please do more.❤❤
of course! ❤️
I've been waiting for this.🎉
We need more of this kind of videos
I agree with you on the orange blossom! Also, I'm not into the new Creed fragrance! Nice video!! :))
Some of the scents that didn't work for you sound right up my alley (Pas Ce Soir and Venom Incarnat)! Those fruity scent profiles sound incredible. Thanks for giving us your honest opinons!
Of course! Yeah if something sounds good, grab a sample! ❤️
The leathery skittles I love 💚🧡❤️🩷💙🩵💜
I'm making breakfast and looking forward to enjoying your perfume talk 🙂
I live for these videos!
I love these type of videos Anne and always appreciate your honesty. I bought a travel size of Devotion and it’s beautiful but the performance sucks, at least on my skin. I’m curious about Bake and Sugar Addict!
Always appreciate you dropping by! ❤️
I am really excited to try Devotion 😍
Yes we need this series! 🙌 Too much hype going around, some opposing reviews help the viewer decide if it's worth sampling or not. I have so many disappointments with hyped frags where I feel like influencers were not being honest with giving an accurate review rather just repeating how "amazing" the smell is.. 🤷♀️
fragrance taste is so subjective so sampling first is definitely the way to go!
Excellent video content, your Unfiltered Opinions series are my favorite. "Great job keep up the good work." 😉👌
I appreciate it!
when i got vibrato(blind buy) i tested and i said ok its really nice but why so much buzz..the next day (a really hot day in Athens ) i wore it and during that day i fell in love with it... extemely fresh,clean and elegant ,compliment magnet and super long lasting something pretty rare for a citrusy fragrance..😁😁😁high quality on steroids
I will definitely be trying out Sospiro Contralto! I love my Byredo Bal D’Afrique but i hate how weak the fragrance is esp considering how expensive it was too! Loved this video! Thank you for the recommendations❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! Yeah the performance is good with Contralto!
Love these videos! A lot of these didn’t work for me either! Vibrato was also such a let down for me. Pink me up was beautiful at first but the falls flat. I agree with Lovers feeling very scratchy. I almost blind bought that one, so glad I sampled first 😅
scratchy!! Yes! 😬
Excellent ❤❤❤❤❤ thanks so much for another great video Anne have a great week love you❤ PS I love how you mention how some DNA's are similar because I don't want to replicate and duplicate fragrances unless I can purchase a cheaper fragrance 😂
For sure! I'm the same! ❤️
Sospiro perfumes are some of my favorite overall. Longevity, the blending of the notes…Dolce Melodia is my spring/summer bubblegum floral fruity done right. It has some airiness in it that is relaxing. I think it is the gardenia and Jasmine blend that is all pretty to my nose. Hubby loves Vibrato for summer months, but it is a predictable citrus as you say, but high quality.
I'm glad you guys have had such success with them! ❤️ They do perform very well
Great series! I’m nose blind to a lot of these skins scents like Glossier but the deodorant sounds intriguing
Thank you! Yes, I surprisingly have had a great experience with the deodorant 😄
Nice makeup today Anne. I love your blush. You also look great with your hair up.
thank you!
Contralto was love at first sniff for me. Got my bottle immediately! Lots of love from Germany ❤
so good! 😍
I really appreciated your honesty about Creed Carmina -- and this is from someone who actually purchased the 1 oz. With my first two samples I loved it, then I wasn't at all sure, then it grew on me again. Wish the dark cherry wasn't so lost in the dry down. I do get compliments whenever I wear it. A complex relationship! 😊
I too have my fair share of complex relationships with certain perfumes 😄
I adore you and your videos I am glad that you posted a new video on my birthday
thank you!! & Happy Birthday!! ❤️🥳🎂
I wish I didn't have Bal D'Afrique (which I enjoy) because I like Contralto better! And it lasts longer. Great video, Anne!
I just blind bought Oud Maracuja... but after hearing your opinion, I'm nervous! haha!! Keep sharing your beautiful smile with the rest of the world, have a great day :)
SO ON POINT!!! ❤❤❤💯🎯
Looooooove your description of Ginger Biscuit 🫚🫚🫚
truly a ginger biscuit 😄❤️
@@AnneLauren factssss 🧡🫶🏽✨
I would love a by Rosie Jane house review if you’ve tried anything from them!!
The exact same thing happened to me with Akro Rise!!
Love this series, Anne!! Sooo agree with Glossier You. Didn’t get the hype. Bought and returned the next day. Can you review the ARGOS line please?? Especially BIRTH OF VENUS.. I’ve been seeing ít everywhere and sooo tempted to blind buy it .. 😊
Yes! As soon as I can get my hands on the samples, I would love to try and review them!
Ginger biscuit - I agree with you.
I always love these as it's refreshing to hear your takes on things. Ginger biscuit is something I think is going to end up coming home with me and sharida's new scent those two are going to round out my stash till I can use some things up - working on finishing one 50 ml and another travel spray. Oh and thank you for putting me onto fancy by Jessica Simpson - wore it yesterday and OMG it's so good.
Oh do you know where Anne mentioned the Fancy perfume-was it a video or a comment? That perfume is meant to be a dupe for my old Burberry women’s fragrance from the late 90s, I’m curious to hear her take on it.
@@catherinepietrzak5247 I feel like it was in a video of hers I just can't remember which one. Maybe ask Anne? I am sorry I couldn't help further.
It's definitely perfect for gourmand lovers and the holiday season! 🍪🤎 I'm super excited about Sharida's launch as well :) I'm glad you're liking Fancy! 💕💕
@catherinepietrzak5247 ruclips.net/video/GxPBTRx0xKQ/видео.html :)
I love perfumes so much. So so so much.
And yet, I find myself feeling totally inadequate when I watch videos of perfume connoisseurs like you because you are able to decipher notes and have such a wide range of tastes when it comes to what you like.
I can't for the life of me decipher notes. I am easily triggered with headaches for a vast majority of scents. I am super super picky and always fall back on vanillas and foodie gourmands.
I just feel like I'm missing out on the greater breadth of this world that I've loved and lived in for years.
Not at all! You're just as justified in your love for perfume! You know exactly what you love ❤️
For me Carmina was nice cherry smell and less rose, but then after half an hour it started leaning leathery on my skin, and it was smelling the same for hours. Divine was powdery sickly sweet and did not want to try on skin at all.
The new D&G reminds me of Lira which is my absolute favorite fragrance but just a little synthetic smelling
It’s nice slightly less sophisticated version is lira
Agree re Bake, it reminded me of a cross between Deep N Desire and Bianco Latte but with lemon, not grapefruit. It's the only gourmand lemon that I like, Lira and Unknown Pleasures both smell like harsh burning lemon rind on me. Are BDK planning a Creme de Cuir extrait? x
oh interesting!
I'm not sure! Gris Charnel and Pas Ce Soir are some of their top sellers so I'm not surprised to see flankers, but I don't hear as much about Creme de Cuir
I agree with so many of these. I have yet to let go of my Oud M because that passion fruit is sooooo damn good. But my goodness no one talks about how off putting some of the notes are in there 😩.
🙈 yeah it was rough for me
You are right about Vibrato. I do not see the hype on that one. I just tested Camellia K with L'Interdit Rouge and very similar. Camellia K is beautiful but once it's on sale not at full price. 😂
Hey Anne , I love ur videos and bought clean reserve skin on your recommendation and I absolutely loveee it 💖 . Can you do a dupe video for love don’t be shy by killian !!
I'm so glad you love it!
I'm not the best person for that topic as I'm not a fan of the DNA, but I've seen many other creators film this video!
You are the best! 😍
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks much Anne you have saved me some coins 😊
Have you tried Ethereal Wave by Liis? I would love to hear your opinion on this one as I purchased Bo by Liis based on your recommendation & LOVED it immediately. 🤗
I haven't! But I'm SO glad you're loving Bo! ❤️
Sospiro Erba pura ❤ 😩 i’m waiting for Black Friday to get it
Yes!! It'll remind me of you forever xx Such a special scent!
Devotion opening was a blast of bitter lemon 🍋 for me ! The lemon in this is strong! DO NOT BLIND BUY!!!
Refreshing honest reviews. Devotion unfortunately for me has a citronella candle/ bug spray kind of note that I can’t get past. I own glossier you and the bottle is adorable but the scent is just dry, pencil shavings or sometimes I think I’m smelling corn? I don’t know what it is but it’s not like a refreshing clean scent in my opinion. I don’t get the hysteria over it.
I hate the note of orange blossom too; don’t know why it’s so off putting to me.
Good call on Vibrato. I don't understand the hype.
Have you got your nose on Vanilla powder, the newest Matiere premiere fragrance? I feel like you are going to like it, it's a sweet powdery vanilla with palo santo and a dry coconut note. It's smells like nothing on the market imo. it's so well done. I would love to hear your opinion on it. I already have 100 vanilla fragrances but I bought it immediately
not yet! I have a sample on the way :)
I agree with the Maison C scent. The one from Victoria Beckham is so much better. And I’m over here loving Sugar Addict lol
I need to try those new Victoria Beckham fragrances!
I ❤Bake….I bought it when it was first released after I got my hands on a sample & I realized I had to have a fb!
it's a good one!
Great reviews! Have you tried Xerjoff Erba Gold? Curious how that one compares to Sospiro Erba Pura…🤔
I haven't yet but I just got a sample of it! I will test it out and let you guys know my thoughts :)
We are the same with glossier perfume. Every body likes it but I think it wasn’t for me either. 😅
Pink Me Up could be done in a body spray / mist. I didn’t understand the love for that one either. The price 🙈🙈
for realll
Erba Pura Mágica is AMAZING!
You're lovely Anne. New subscriber.
I appreciate your honest opinions on these releases. I feel the the same for most of theses. Lovers and carmina were such disappointements. Way too over priced for what they are. For me camelia K was giving a sweeter version of libre and not worth the price for me. Cherry ambition is what I was hoping carmina to be, minus the rose. I did not like devotion at all, the citrus opening smells exactly like one of my cleaning products, thank God I resisted my urge to blind buy it.
really enjoying Cherry Ambition! yeah sampling first is definitely the way to go
What are your thoughts on Kerosene Unknown Pleasures? The Fragrantica “reminds me of” section lists Bake.
Unknown Pleasures is actually my favorite fragrance out of that whole lemon/vanilla profile, but the dry down was ultimately too sweet for me. I have my review here :) ruclips.net/video/_z5FJBGosG0/видео.html
You and me, same chat group. Devotion is a nice scent but nothing to write home about, same with the Burberry goddess for me, I feel like I have smelt that one too many times and I’m not moved, agree with the rest too 😂
Glossier eew 😆 hehe just my opinion. I think it def depends on chemistry. The Iris/violet is way too amped up on my skin so it smells a bit too vintage on me.
totally, I think this one really varies from person to person
I got my hands on 2 hyped frags... This is her and ouverture. I wore one on Fri and one on Sat and both days I was chased by women and complimented. That never happens!
Niiice!!
I'd love to hear what you think about oud satin mood, it's going viral at the minute
I don't like it at all 😩 here's my review ruclips.net/video/EEzvWH19_ko/видео.html
Wow! I was close to buying Vibrato without testing it. Not gonna though after your comment. ❤
yeah I'd recommend sampling first!
@@AnneLauren definitely!
I tried Glossier- You today, and Juliette Has a Gun- Not a perfume. They sounded intriguing, but I was not impressed. I wanted to see what the hype was. 🤷🏼♀️ I was nose blind to 'Not a perfume.' I could only smell it on my skin. The scent kept changing. Even after I took a shower, it was still there. It was a different experience. 😂
Yeah I'm anosmic to Not a Perfume!
I just tried devotion yesterday and it’s a pass for me. I did love the opening but not after a half an hour when it turns into the orange blossom vanilla. I think I need to try Theodoro kalotinis lemon tart.
I kind of slammed pink me up for selling the packaging. But. It is a very happy perfume and I enjoyed my sample. I would get it if it was a third of the price without hesitation.
Pas ce soir og is better than the extrait to me. It’s one of those perfumes that the more I wear it the more I like it. Still in test mode on that one.
If you're into photorealistic gourmands, then Lemon Tart is exactly what it claims to be!
Hi Anne!❤ do you enjoy bois dore from van cleef and arpels? I’d love to know!
I like it! To me, this is a creamy, sweet, powdery, almond vanilla milkshake which some woodiness. And some chai topping. I don’t get tobacco & I don't personally pick up on the mineral notes. In the opening, it does have perhaps something slightly cold, but I don’t smell anything weird or different when it comes to that note. With all the talk about this perfume, I was expecting something super unique, which I don’t exactly think it is, but it definitely smells good :)
I wonder if the ambroxan in Rise is giving you that seaweed. Pink Me Up is fine by me because I strongly dislike most rose fragrances. Akro Bake has a soft spot. Venom Incarnate is my favorite strawberry fragrance of all time. Devotion was gifted to me by my sister. Ginger Biscuit is bae.
perhaps! I usually love ambroxan, but it can come across differently of course in different blends. I'm glad you're enjoying some of these!
Bake sounds intriguing! How does it compare to Kerosene’s “Unknown Pleasures”?
I find Unknown Pleasures more interesting. It smells like toasty, warm, butterscotch crispy cookies with hot lemons, the juice and the rind. Wafflecone, loadsss of caramel, so it's sweeter than Bake, has a buttery feel, and there is earl grey tea in the opening that differentiates it. It also has much better performance, although Bake has good performance, U.P. is a bomb.
I need to try Sugar Addict ASAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
I am anosmic to Glossier You. I wore it to work one day and 3 girls chased me to ask what I was wearing
Love your honesty, always 💯 🙂 🫶
Well, you’ve influenced me to get the Glossier deodorant 🤷♀️
😄❤️ it’s my go to!
I was so glad I purchased a sample of Creed Carmina and not a full bottle because I was so excited about this release but it just didn’t do it for me.
sampling is definitely the way to go!
The drama I felt inside my body to see if you liked devotion L O L I love it
😆 It's yummy!
I’m not a creed girl but carmina I only like
Heyyy, love all your videos. So real yet so hilarious juts want I need in life lol. I love Erba Pura Magica but it smells like Draco Tiziana Terenzi to me. I have Draco but I both a 10 mil sample of Erba Pura Magica and when I was watching your video and said this smell like something I have. I thought about it and said it smells like Draco to me. I could be wrong but that’s what my nose is giving me.
I'm so glad! 😄❤️ Tiziana Terenzi definitely uses a musk that smells similar to Erba Pura!
Orange blossom smells like AquaNet hairspray to me. It’s a no go.
🙈
Room 1015 Sonic Bloom is a much nicer version of Glossier You. The house, Room 1015, has an interesting concept and website too
That one wasn't for me either, but I do see a lot of people liking it who also enjoy Glossier You
Akro awake immediately turned to celantro on me and I couldn't unsmell it rip
I like rose but did not love Carmina. Actually happy I don’t 😂
yeah that price is painful 😆
Can i please have Ginger Bisquit? 😢 😊
Anne, I have heard Devotion compared to Bake. What are your thoughts on that? I tested Devotion and liked it. Have placed an order. I was interested in potentially blind buying Bake, and I have heard what you said about it. I am just curious to know if it smells similar to Devotion to you. By the way, Devotion smells like Pez candies on me, to me, which is fun.😊
Although they’re in the same fragrance family, I can definitely smell their differences! Devotion is much, much sweeter. Bake has more of a punchy edge to it from the lemon zest, where Devotion is candied & sugary. They also have very different dry downs. Devotion is so sweet it has a caramel like vibe to it imo, and Bake has a toasted feel
@@AnneLauren thank you, Anne.
Hello Anne, Is Devotion a dupe for akro’s bake ❤❤❤❤ thank you .
Although they’re in the same fragrance family, no, I can definitely smell their differences! Devotion is much, much sweeter. Bake has more of a punchy edge to it from the lemon zest, where Devotion is candied & sugary. They also have very different dry downs. Devotion is so sweet it has a caramel like vibe to it, and Bake has a toasted feel
@@AnneLauren thank you so much !
The new Creed perfume is a nice rose scent, but you can get other way better rose perfumes for half the price.
I don't get the hype of the Glossier perfume at all. Like you, I can barely smell it but from what I could smell was fine but nothing special. I got a full bottle as a present and regifted it.
💯!!
I hate orange blossom too.
I love oud maracuja. I guess i love too much, too dark and too animalic.
Glossier smelled pretty bad to my nose lol I wish I could get into it
Loved Sospiro Contralto and Dolce Melodia!
Wasn’t impressed enough to buy Jo Malon Ginger Biscuit or D&G Devotion! Nice but not loves!
I haven't smelled Bake but i just purchased Unknown Pleasures which is amazing. i need to love a perfume i
like alot but dont love perfumes alot to make it worth adding to my collection i own rise i like it for the summer. I hated Devotion smelled so weird on me. I tried Glossier you perfume in the summer and i could hardly smell it. I love Ginger Biscuit its one of my favorite perfumes. i dont enjoy orange blosson much either now its so popular but makes me sick sometimes. Pa ce soir extrait was nice, Lovers was disgusting super screechy. i fell for the hype of pink me up i did sell it a couple months ago. eew i tried venom incarnate it smells to me like neosporin very medicinal just awful
Unknown Pleasures has been my favorite in this kind of lemon gourmand category :)
I wasn’t a fan of Sospiro Vibrato either.
