My father passed in Feb 2023. His signature cologne was YSL’s L’Homme. So when Father Figure from Phlur came out, I blind purchased it. I love it. Whenever I wear it, it reminds me of being a little kid, laying on my dad’s chest as we watched tv together, my face cuddled up to him and I smell the remnants of his cologne at the end of the day. ❤ I hope Phlur never discontinues it!
Lauren your fragrance channel has been my favorite discovery from 2023, I love your reviews, you are so succinct and real. you’ve helped me feel comfortable with going into niche fragrance shops in my city and expanding my knowledge in an interest I’ve had for years :)
Burberry Goddess is such a hit. I only have a tiny sample, but I want a bigger bottle. I let my friend smell it, she wants it. I let my sister smell it, she immediately put it on her Christmas list and got it. Crowd pleaser for sure!
I think Sol De Janeiro revolutionized premium body mists. I’m kind of all for that. I love body mists for bed time and I don’t feel guilt for putting on a bunch at night.
I tried Dylan Purple at an Ulta, walked into a store and immediately two very sweet employees asked me what perfume I was using. I bought a full bottle as soon as I could get one on sale hehehe
Happy New Year, Lauren! Cute hair!! My fave discoveries in 2023 were Escapade Gourmande, Bianco Latte, Leisure in Paradise, Yum Pistachio, HoS Minnie Mouse, Magnetic Candy, and Crumb Couture. I also found some new loves from Indie houses Sorcellerie Apothecary, Kyse, and Cocoapink. 💕
2023 was the year that I discovered Arabic perfumes 😊 I got so many that I love. For designer perfumes, I love NR Noir Rose and the NR. Unpopular opinion, I got Burberry Goddess and thought it was basic and overhyped.
Burberry was definitely hyped up so when I tried it in store it kind of surprised me. It's a very classic simple perfume so I can see why people would like it universally but it didn't have much impact for me.
My standout would be Kayali's Silk Santal ❤ Literally everytime I use it I get a compliment. It's great for any occassion. Definitely signature scent worthy. I was so sad that i fell in love with a limited release lol but i heard it may come back this summer 🤞
2023 was the year I discovered Bath and Body Works😂Better late than never and in having so much fun. Maybe someday I can afford perfume but for now... Its BBW!
The standout for me in 2023 was Kilian Apple Brandy on the Rocks, Skylar Vanilla Sky, AG Cloud, and BBW Whipped Berry Merengue. It was all sweet scents this year which isn’t usual, 2022 was Tom Ford portifino something (Blue/Green bottle), Jo Malone Sea Salt and Wood Sage. Interesting switch.
I just love your transparency and how you describe fragrances, the passion really shows in the way you talk abt fragrances ❤️ You have such a good nose for detecting nuance in fragrances. So there are some whispers in the fragrance community that a certain musk fragrance body mist from bath and body works smells like leau papier, and I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Mizensir "For Your Love" is my best discovery the past few months.. It's very similar to Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait and is just as good(if not better). 😊 Thank you for doing all of the fragrance advent calenders for Holiday this year, it was fun watching the videos 💗 Happy New Year 🌠
I was really interested in Akro Bake, but I ended up getting D&G Devotion which I really like (I know this one is somewhat controversial, but I get the lemon gourmand from it and not kitchen cleaner 😂). If you’ve smelled or tried that one, do you think Bake is too similar? I’ve heard they are so I’m curious about what you think. Fine’ry is such a great brand…I love so many and find them to last…the price point also can’t be beat! I have to try Sniff and want Crumb Couture so bad…and the new Vanilla!! I have 3 really good blueberry type fragrances I love, but I am obsessed with that note/profile and gourmands! This was a great video…you were so on point with all the fragrances you mentioned! Kayali Pistachio Gelato was one of my favorites and I’m obsessed now with pistachio lol!! I just wish they would make this last longer like the Vanilla Patchouli
Smells like a new baby smell?!! Take my moneyyyy! I’ve always said I wish someone bottled that scent bc it’s sooo sweet. And a steamed rice note? Sounds heavenly.
I joined Ffern which is a British small batch perfume producer and I really enjoyed the scents they created for the different seasons! This year I’m dying to smell Golf le Fleur’s French Waltz and D.S.&Durga’s Pistachio. Fragrance has been keeping things interesting for me!
ds&durgas pistachio was a big let down for me - all i got out of it was patchouli. i really prefer obvious’ pistachio fragrance. it’s nutty and creamy but not too sweet
Valaya quickly became my favorite. It really surprised me because I usually don’t like super musky or fresh scents but that one changed my whole palate
Gucci love in that gorgeous Valentine’s Day red bottle I’m so in love. It smells so freaking good. Like fresh and clean strawberries. I’m obsessed that is my stand out scent of the year!!
Diptyque is my favorite house!! I absolutely adore so many of their scents. Oddly, i absolutely hate papier. I love clean reserve skin (own that bottle) but papier is just dreadful on me. The longevity is torturous lol i was praying it would fade but it keep smelling so strong. My favorite from Diptyque is Fleur de Peau and Tam Dao xx love your hair ❤
My favorites were (and are) Goddess, Devotion, Yum Pistachio, Kayali Lychee, Casamorati Bouquet Ideale…. I received YSL Black Opium Over Red today. A winner for me.
I suffer from migraines, and scent can trigger them. I haven't worn then in years, but I want to dip my toe in carefully. I was in Sephora yesterday to try out some sprays and scents. I looooved By The Fireplace from Maison Margiela and Kayali Sweet Diamond Pink Pepper. I liked Ellis Brooklyn Salt, too. I got a sample of the Armani My Way, and I enjoyed it as well.
I learned to like vanilla in 2023! Way back in the day (like 1999) I had some sort of vanilla perfume purchased at a mall kiosk that I used to drown myself in for middle school and it eventually overwhelmed me and I hated it. So this year, I've dabbled a little and Divine Vanille by Essential Parfums is juuuust right.
Just wanted to say I've only discovered your videos recently and I absolutely love them. There's something about you that makes me trust your recommendations implicitly, lol. And your eye makeup is always on point! Looking forward to watching more videos from you in 2024!

Skylar Urban Rose and Indigo Valley have been big winners for me this year. Along with Heretic Dirty Hinoki which is a new fav. I’m so happy that I’ve managed to find perfumes that I can wear without triggering allergic reactions or migraines
I definitely felt disappointed when I first got Yum gelato but I ended up liking it so much I got another bottle. Found a bottle on Mercari for 75% less than what you buy in stores. The bottles is beat up so I don’t know if it was a return and they threw it out, but the juice is fresh and delicious.💚
I don’t think any of these actually came out in 2023 😂 but my greatest hits this year were Akro Awake and Dark, Ellis Brooklyn West, Heretic Dirty Vanilla and Smudge, and Commodity Moss + and Velvet- 💙 Love your content Lauren 🩷🩷🩷
@@poppymagpie309 ohhh I’m silly I thought you were talking about the fragrances in the video. Re-reading your comment it occurred to me that you were referring to the ones you mentioned 😂 those are from the 2018-2020 but great nonetheless!
what's your take on fragrance enhancers? I just added DS & DURGA 'I Don't Know What' to my queue on scentbird, but I have never used a fragrance enhancer before!
aaaaaaaand i'm 2:31 seconds in and paused to go order Akro- Ink - because as soon as I heard Ink, I was down. Read the description on the website and am just so intrigued! Thank you for the great videos!
My sis bought me Casablanca for Xmas & whoa is it great!!! I love Magnetic Candy (almost gone 😢) & Not Another Cherry from Fine’ry! I tried that new Vanilla Vanilla & Vanilla but it was so costly & didn’t last on my skin. I think it was Goddess. Loved this video❤
Hello, based on your opinion on Bake by Akro, I think you would just LOVE Devotion by Dolce & Gabbana. It has a really good sugared lemon note at first and then you are left with something between floral and gourmand with the orange blossom and vanilla at the base. Really gourmand yet elegant ! Give it a snif if you can 😊
My partner caught me staring (and sniffing) at Burberry Goddess when we were shopping for his mom and he gifted me a small sprayer for Christmas. IN. LOVE.
I tried two Fine’ry scents on the back of my hand. I couldn’t run to the bathroom fast enough to wash them off. I think one was a musk and the other was a solar type scent. Both were atrocious. Even my gf commented how awful they smelled.
Finally goddess getting the love she deserves! It reminds me of the smell of fresh vanilla pipe tabacco(not burnt) also I smell the cacoa pop when it's cold! I work in a walk in freezer and literally caught the nose of chef!
I got ginger biscuit first time it came out...there were three small bottles in a bundle. Ginger Biscuit was my favorite. I.missed it the second time and was fortunate to snag big bottle this year..
I got a sample of Vanilla Woods from 7 virtues and I love it. It’s such a unique smell and really doesn’t smell like Vanilla Woods to me. It almost smells like juicy grape to me in a weird way?? It’s sweet but leaves a fruity impression on me. It’s worth a smell!
I am revisiting some older florals - Elie Saab Le Parfum, a creamy jasmine by Kurkdjian. Totally underrated. Commodity Milk Bold is my #1 gourmand for the yr.
I really enjoyed Skylar Boadwalk Delight and Isle Escape, Ariana Grande Moonlight, Memo Paris Tamarindo, Eilish No 3, and Phlur Solar Power and Lost Cause. Not all came out in 2023, but they sure made my year.
I bought the Kayali pistachio and I keep getting compliments and people say it smells like vanilla. I also have the 100 mil bottle and half is gone. I use the sol de Janiero first as a body spray # 62 and the two just smell fantastic together. My husband always says I smell fantastic when I wear them.
Love the hair ❤ I bought Baby Cat this year. I’m not usually drawn to vanilla but this is the best I’ve smelled. I went a bit nuts on the FragranceBuy Boxing Day sale and the Commodity sale. I managed to get the vault scents at a deep discount. I did buy Father Figure and the Mango Mood body mist at the Sephora sale. Both were new to me in 2023. Maribeau is a bridge in Paris. There is a poem by Apollinaire about standing on the bridge, looking down at the Seine and contemplating the flow of passing time and the pain of love. I did pick up the Ellis Brooklyn body mists at the Sephora sale.
I recently fell in love with Eilish no 2, although I don't know if that one came out in 2023. It somehow reminds me a little bit of Gris Charnel, but to me, Eilish no 2 is more wearable than that one. Love it ❤
My father passed in Feb 2023. His signature cologne was YSL’s L’Homme. So when Father Figure from Phlur came out, I blind purchased it. I love it.

My dad just passed too. 🤗 However, your dad had very good taste. My dad smelled like Brute, or Old Spice.
That’s beautiful ♥️ I’m so sorry for your loss 🙏🏻
Regarding the Diptyque you’re right they said it was a like a steamed rice accord
I feel the same about Diptyque but absolutely loved papier first sniff. Also loved Burberry Goddess and Jo Malone Ginger Biscuit.

Versace’s Dylan Purple. It’s dark and fruity to me and I love pairing it with Ellish No. 1.
I tried Dylan Purple at an Ulta, walked into a store and immediately two very sweet employees asked me what perfume I was using. I bought a full bottle as soon as I could get one on sale hehehe
I AM LIVING FOR THE HAIR DOWN LOOK, YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL !!! Love all the fragrance and beauty content💕
Are you an Aesop fan? would love to see a review of the brand :)
You look fierce Lauren! Love the hair❤

2023 was the year that I discovered Arabic perfumes 😊
I got so many that I love. For designer perfumes, I love NR Noir Rose and the NR.
Unpopular opinion, I got Burberry Goddess and thought it was basic and overhyped.
Burberry was definitely hyped up so when I tried it in store it kind of surprised me.
It's a very classic simple perfume so I can see why people would like it universally but it didn't have much impact for me.
I wish I had your nose 😢 i can't pick up the notes nearly as good as you!
Burberry Goddess doesn't have the best projection. I over sprayed, 😊and 😒😒😒 the price tag > projection
Don't know if it's just me but Burberry Goddess lasts about 10 minutes on me and the smell disappears... Don't feel like it's worth it.
Feeling ALL THE LOVE in this review darling! 😘💚🍦 You’re so sweet!! Enjoy every last drop !! 🫶🤗😘
❤️❤️❤️
My standout would be Kayali's Silk Santal ❤ Literally everytime I use it I get a compliment. It's great for any occassion. Definitely signature scent worthy. I was so sad that i fell in love with a limited release lol but i heard it may come back this summer 🤞
Yeah it’s supposed to come out again in 2024
2023 was the year I discovered Bath and Body Works😂Better late than never and in having so much fun. Maybe someday I can afford perfume but for now... Its BBW!

I really don’t like Papier and when you said about baby smell I was like yes! That’s it! I don’t love the smell of babies or licorice lol
Goddess from Burberry, Black Opium Le Parfum and Bianco Latte. Just the year for vanillas and I'm in heaven!
Thank you!

My favourite release of 2023 is Devotion by Dolce and Gabbana.
Apres, sun fruit, salt, sea , a lot of commodity , hinoki, apple love, etc etc etc thx LM ❤❤have u tried the new SDJ PURPLE BODY CREAM ?
Smells like a new baby smell?!! Take my moneyyyy! I’ve always said I wish someone bottled that scent bc it’s sooo sweet. And a steamed rice note? Sounds heavenly.
I am OBSESSED with the Kayali Pistachio! Snagged a bottle with the 20% off sale at Sephora a bit ago!

I've heard that the phlur vanilla skin body mist is really yummy. Haven't gotten my nose on it yet.
would love a dedicated Snif video. I am so curious about the brand

My favorites were (and are) Goddess, Devotion, Yum Pistachio, Kayali Lychee, Casamorati Bouquet Ideale….
I received YSL Black Opium Over Red today. A winner for me.
Hi Lauren I was wondering we if you could find a Bath and Bodyworks mist that has similar notes or dupe to Lancome's Tresor?
I came for the info, but commented because… what’s that gloss???? So shiny
I really hope this vanilla mania goes away soon. I can’t stand sweet, warm creamy favorites. I pretty much want the exact opposite of that.
I suffer from migraines, and scent can trigger them. I haven't worn then in years, but I want to dip my toe in carefully. I was in Sephora yesterday to try out some sprays and scents. I looooved By The Fireplace from Maison Margiela and Kayali Sweet Diamond Pink Pepper. I liked Ellis Brooklyn Salt, too. I got a sample of the Armani My Way, and I enjoyed it as well.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention bianco latte… seems that was like everyone’s fav 😂
Love the hair!!!!
I love how you describe perfumes!! I could listen for hours 😍

I love apple love by Ellis Brooklyn
Pistachio gelato by kayali
And sparkling lychee by kayali… I especially love it layered with Eden juicy apple.
I think Father Figure is beautiful! Love the fresh figgy-ness! 💖
My 2 favorites of this year are Eilish No. 3❤️ and Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato💚

2023 favs; Pink me up, Sunset Hour, Delina la Rose and a bunch of Lattafa dupes. Your hair looks so cute like that!
I discovered the replica line this year, but my fave finds of the year is Armani Prive Santal Dan Sha and Serge Lutens Santal Majuscule
how often do you reapply throughout the day, lauren? i’m so impressed with your dents in such a big collection!
for me, dusita has the best releases of 2023. it was definitely the year of vanilla but also the year of quentin bisch lolol
I love lemon. Might have to try Akro.
Your hair looks amazing!
I’m really excited for the new Snif vanilla fragrance coming out next week!
Love the hair ❤ I bought Baby Cat this year. I’m not usually drawn to vanilla but this is the best I’ve smelled. I went a bit nuts on the FragranceBuy Boxing Day sale and the Commodity sale. I managed to get the vault scents at a deep discount. I did buy Father Figure and the Mango Mood body mist at the Sephora sale. Both were new to me in 2023. Maribeau is a bridge in Paris. There is a poem by Apollinaire about standing on the bridge, looking down at the Seine and contemplating the flow of passing time and the pain of love. I did pick up the Ellis Brooklyn body mists at the Sephora sale.
Your eyes are so beautiful. Thank you for the video. I love your fragrance content!
My #1 fave of the year was cloud. Because I finally finished the big bottle 🙌 eilish and black opium were my other faves
Happy 2024. I enjoy a good body mist.❌️⭕️
Apparently magnetic candy is supposed to be a dupe for Prada candy
you look amazing in this Lauren!!💓 what’s on your eyes??
I recently fell in love with Eilish no 2, although I don't know if that one came out in 2023. It somehow reminds me a little bit of Gris Charnel, but to me, Eilish no 2 is more wearable than that one. Love it ❤
Happy New Year🎉 Im excited to see what you bring us this year!
A scent that I wore a lot of this year is an old one but I love it and its Moschino Black Bear.
2023 = the year I could FINALLY wear perfume without getting an out for the count for DAYS migraine! (I’m 48!)
