What a wonderful way to spend my commute! With Julia!! Loved this. And fantastic idea about going out the 15th. One of us is usually working which is fine. Like you say….going out another day means less crowds, waiting, etc.
You're so wonderful to me, Chris! Did you guys do anything yesterday to celebrate love? Or tonight? And then I must know...what fragrance did you choose? Guesses: Atomic Rose? Absolute Aphrodesiac? Gris Dior???
My husband and I don't get sucked into overspending on a designated day of commercialised, highly performative "romance" either. Same goes for the bare-naked cash grab of New Year's Eve.
Yes! I love knowing we share that and a few more. You've definitely influenced quite a few of my purchases, and I'm so glad. I hope you're well, beautiful 🎼La La La🎼
I like seeing your perfume shelf in the background. It’s so pretty! I don’t have many on your list, but I do adore Ani and have a travel spray of Dior Addict. And last week, I gave into the hype and bought a travel spray of Devotion. I have to admit that I like it much more than I expected! It has enough of a bite to be interesting. I just had to go look on my shelf to see what I had in the vanilla section that I would call favorites - My green vanillas (Angelique Noire and Mugler Aura) are two of my absolute faves! And Lune Feline with it’s smokey cardamom. Yum! Ani and Gentle Fluidity Gold would have to round out my current top 5. I’m not really big into straight up vanillas or ones that are too overly sweet or even really cozy like Orchidee Vanille. For some reason, I need something stronger or with a twist to really love a vanilla. Hmmm. Maybe because it’s in so *many* fragrances that I get tired of it? Maybe I’ll get a sample of the Kayali Sugared Patchouli. It’s one I haven’t tried, and you make it sounds interesting. Anyway, thanks for another great video! ❤❤
Hi Sheryl. I like seeing them, too. I love them all so much. Even the ones I hate. You're the second person who has both Ani and Dior Addict and only those two. Well, other than the travel of Devotion, I guess. It is interesting, and I really like it, too. You have a vanilla section?? Teach me your ways, Scent-say
My Thomas! Hello! It's so wonderful to have you here! YOU make me smile. I'm so proud of you. I remember buying you a candle. I love candles. Oh, memory. I wish mine would work more often than it does. Ugh. I love you!
Gosh the usage on orchidée vanille, that is love! I don't own any of these 😱 such a shocker! I think I really like vanilla but I rarely love them, I like deep syrupy ones and sweet icing sugar almondy heliotrope ones. I do really enjoy Dior Addict, and I think I would be pretty ecstatic if Ani showed up in my collection 😂 I'm in Rome... But yeah, watching in a downtime moment. It's been pretty intense! 😂
You were in ROME when you responded to my comment????? That's amazing! I know that vanilla isn't easy for some folks, just like flowers aren't easy for me. I'll come 'round to flowers some day. I hope. Ohhh! You like Ani? That makes me so happy! :) We had a long weekend (Family Day) this past weekend, and I don't typically consume RUclips or social media on weekends. Now that it's Tuesday, I'm off to your channel and Jon's and so on and so on. Looking forward to seeing you there!!
@@ScentSiblingsDotCA I sure do!! It reminds me so much of a richer version of Live Colorfully by Kate Spade but I could be the only one who thinks so.. 🤷🏻♀️🫣😂
Julija!! ❤ I’ve been thinking about vanilla and my perfume wardrobe. I need more! After this, I’m convinced I’ll enjoy the Kayali. It’s been in and out of my Sephora cart for a while. “Fix it, so I can bathe in it.” The winning quote! Really enjoyed this. Thank you! ❤
Richard! My beautiful friend. I've been sending so much love your way. I think you might enjoy the scent of the Royale vanilla. Next time you're at Sephora (before you leave...I don't think there's one that far north!) text me or even film a quick video for me with your first impressions. I'd love that.
Hi beanieanne! Thank you for your comment. What a lovely thing to say. Post holiday shopping is the only way to go for us. We do our Christmas gift exchange with our found family on New Year's Eve so we can get more for less. So fiscally responsible, eh? :p Discounted chocolate DOES taste better! Thanks for being here, my scent sibling!
Awesome video and great picks! My very favorite vanilla perfume is one I made custom at Olfactory in NY... I believe it has Vanilla, Musk, Cedar, Jasmine... Smells similar to Eau Duelle... I like my vanilla to have something a little rough around the edges. I love Lalique Le Parfum for that reason. I like the stinky bay leaf! 😂 I own and love Vanilla Royale and Andalusian soul too!
You're the best. You like it "rough around the edges." I need to keep things p.c. here, but, like, COME ON. That's not even fair to bait me like that! The stinky bay leaf! Stop! But ooooh! I love knowing we have VR and AS in common. That always makes me so happy to think we share something like that. Thank you for sharing YOU in this comment. :) Hope all is well!!!
Thank you! I love them, too. I got them on Temu. I know that I shouldn't support places like that, but for the, like, two dollars I paid for these and a bunch more earrings, I just couldn't justify NOT getting them. :)
I do find Vanilla Musk a great affordable alternative to Tihota. I think I’m on my third little bottle. I need to smell that Vanilla Solinotes now though!!!!!
I know. :( There are two teams when it comes to Tahota - those who smell the Vanilla Musk in it, and those who smell Vaniglia. I REALLY wanted to be team Vanilla Musk. I'm trying. I'll keep trying. But it smells for all the world like Vaniglia instead!
As it turns out, we ended up going out on Monday, so tonight we're going to come home from work, turn on the jazz, pour the wine, and make homemade flour tortillas to make fajitas for dinner. They'll be better than anything we can get in our little town, and we'll be able to dance in the kitchen to boot. I hope whatever you and your sweetheart did (or will do) makes you feel as special and wonderful as you are, my friend. Thank you for always being here for me. I love just knowing I can call you friend. xo P.S. What scent did you wear for Valentines? Enquiring minds NEED to know!
@@ScentSiblingsDotCA Sounds so cozy 🤗 and romantic. Thank you for the kind words my love. We went out to a local vegan place with our son. I wore Absolute Aphrodisiac and later that evening before bed, I wore Chocolate Greedy by Montale 💝💝❤️❤️
Lots of good ones here! I love Kayali Sugared Patchouli. It really is unique! I also have Pacifica’s Island Vanilla. It’s a comfortable, happy vanilla. It’s like the girl everyone likes.😁
Hi my beautiful friend Christie! I love knowing we share the Royale Patchouli (or whatever the heck it's called!)! YOU are the girl everyone likes. I can tell. Your generosity and kindness and that smile. I just know that's true. And even if it's not, you're a girl I LIKE! XO
I’m so past the whole Valentines Day madness I typically forget it. I mean after almost 43 years of marriage we celebrate it whenever we feel like it. Orchidee Vanille, Ani, Andulusan Soul are all hits for me. And you are correct the oil would be perfect if would just project.
Faith! I hear you! It's such a Hallmark thing to generate revenue. And yet, I do like the idea of a day where everyone who wants to, in one accord, if you will, thinks lovely thoughts. It SHOULD be every day, and IS every day, as you say. It's like (weird analogy coming up) watching a tv series while it's actually being aired and knowing that you're sharing each moment with total strangers across the tv signal. It's different from bingeing it on Netflix or whatever. There's no sense of comrodary there. Ya, that's a bit far to go, but I do like the idea of a day of love, no matter how ridiculous it's become. :) I love knowing we have my beloved OV and Ani and AS in common. Hurrah! I know that now whenever I wear them I'll think of you and be thankful for your support and encouragement, my sister!! xo
Love your channel. I watch and listen to your funny, charming reviews and stories hoping that you'll introduce me to a niche fragrance which will actually project off my skin and create a nice bubble for those standing closest to me to enjoy also. My skin eats EVERYTHING. After an hour almost nobody can smell anything on me (including myself). I continue to hunt and wonder if anybody else out there experiences this most frustrating phenomenon. Many high-priced niche brands release these so-called 'skin scents' too, which is a fantastic cop out. I would like to actually smell my 200GBP priced fragrance for more than an hour and for a gentle scent cloud to be perceptible for those intimately socialising with me too. It's why I don't buy as many full size bottles; I don't like to waste money. I keep sampling on, listening and watching my fellow fragrance lovers deliver their considered reviews and recommendations. I won't give up. 💖✌
Hi Cigany. Thanks for the kind words. :) I have the whole "my skin eats fragrance" thing, too. Have you tried anything from Kerosene? I find that their Unknown Pleasures and Followed are especially strong. However, having said that, we're all so different, right? I hope you do find something that makes you happy and lasts!!!
@@ScentSiblingsDotCA Oh yes, thank you for reminding me to seek out Unknown Pleasures (the Joy Division reference should keep it stuck in my mind but still, it gets forgotten, argh!). You mentioning it's projection and strength is very encouraging. I will include a sample in my shopping cart next time I'm buying, along with the Bianco Latte one that's currently so overhyped online. Thank you lovely face! ☺🙏
I’d love a dupe for Vanille absolute ,to be honest I’m only enjoying my vanilla perfumes right now and the rest just sit there 🤷♀️ I love my island vanilla so so much thanks to you ❤
You are so precious. I would love to have you as a teacher- those kids are blessed❤! Your earrings are so cute! I bought some sterling wire heart hoops from an artist on Etsy years ago- fun! Pretty red sweater! Such a great tip about going out on 2/15! My sweetheart of 34 years and I just had our Valentine chocolates w/ coffee this morning. We are celebrating through chemo… but love is worth celebrating every day for sure, however you can! I’m happy to hear you say Indult is so similar to several others, I’ve been tempted by it, but the price kept me from pushing play! Montale’s Vanille Absolue is a great pillar in my collection. A faithful pal… I have almost all on your list and love them. Island Vanilla is so gooood! Just got DUA’s Frank Boclet vanilla - excited to let it macerate. ❤from Dallas.
Oh my gosh, Paige. What a lovely comment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love earrings. They're my thing. Ryan bought me the most amazing chain earrings (I'm wearing them today, which I rarely do during the day because they're over-the-top and go past my shoulders!) because I read your comment yesterday about Etsy and earrings and today I thought, in your honour and with thoughts of you, I would proudly wear my hand-crafted earrings, despite how ridiculous they are in the workplace. :) I love that you and your sweetheart of 34 years (holay!) had chocolate and coffee this morning! My heart is with you as you celebrate through chemo. I cannot, not for one second, imagine what either of you are going through. BOTH of you are in my heart and in my version of prayer today. I'm celebrating Ryan today, and now I'm celebrating you, Paige, and your sweetheart as well. There's a camp of folks who smell Nemat Vanilla Musk in Tihota and a camp who smell Vaniglia, which is 100% the same as Vanille Absolu. Sadly, I'm camp Absolu. BUT. If you're lucky enough to sniff Tihota and are camp Vanilla Musk, but with projection, you'd be so lucky. I love knowing we share a lot of these. And I love knowing that you're with your sweetheart and that you're supporting each other through the sh!ttiest thing ever. I'm sending love. Thank you for sharing this with me. And us. oxoxoxoxo (Please keep me updated on health - I don't know if it's your chemo or your partner's, so I'm thinking of you both!)
Thank you so much for your kind words. My super fit, never sick hubs started having lower back pain- thought it was a kidney stone but a scan showed lesions on his bones. So multiple myeloma is a blood cancer that attacks bones- ugh from the pit of hell! His was very progressed when they found it. But- we, and our 4 kids, have had so much peace. We have a very close relationship with God and each other and we have felt the Lord’s presence and his miraculous provision during this storm. Jesus, chocolate, perfume… good comedians -these are great companions in trying times. I will update you - I know God has great plans for Carter and he’s not done with this story. Thank you for the joy you bring❤!
I own three a these and a few generous samples you sent me! 🥰🥰 My husband has Covid, he can’t smell or taste, should I trick him wearing Hertel and tell him it’s an expensive new citrus perfume I bought for the occasion? 😂😂 I finally tried Lira and it doesn’t work on my skin. I have been lurking this fragrance for over two years now to realize it’s not working at all for me. Maybe I’ll try the Oil Perfumery. Happy Valentine’s Day to you and Ryan! ❤
Aww, I'm sorry to hear your hubby isn't feeling well. But, sneaky you, YES to telling him anything that makes you smile!!! I totally get how Lira might not work for people. Remember when we were talking about Maria that time and you were like, "She doesn't do well with sweet vanillas!" She didn't. And now I think she does. Maybe you will, too. The OP version is just my favourite, but I wonder if you'd like it. It's pretty sweet. If you don't like it, you can put it in your vacuum! :p Did you guys do anything last night? Or is he too sick. Poor guy. Sending love your way for him! xo
HI Julijia❤ Thx for the name drop xxxxxx regarding FRUITEE VANILLE. I still wear and spray on jammies, it lingers. It was my first blind buy of a Vanilla fragrance, as I struggled with sampling, and wanting to love the note, like others. Oh, MARSHMALLOW 🤗. LOOOVE! Kyse is so popular. I need to get a sample, its available on Lucky Scent. Pacifica is another good pick. It's very popular here in the States. I'm waiting for my decant of ESSENTIAL PARFUM, *DIVINE VANILLA. It's compared to PDM Herod. I can't and won't spend a lot of money on fragrances. So many choices and price ranges. You look beautiful in red🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤ Francine
I think I've smelled Divine Vanilla, and it is one of those non-foody vanillas. people seem to really love it. I wonder if you will. Let me know. I'd love to know. Thank you for always being here for me and being so kind. :) xo
❤ who doesn’t like vanilla ? Still enjoying the Pacifica island vanilla but thinking I have to get my nose on the Kyle Marshmallow scent. Enjoy the 15th!! ❤
I'm going to send you some. Period. Please provide address in IG chat. I'm serious. I know that you always say no, but I WANT TO. You're so, so kind and generous to me. Allow me to be the blessing for once? (I remember you said you'd decluttered your Absolute Aphrodesiac, but when I first sniffed that I was in HEAVEN because it was a ((dare I say it? skankier?)) version of IV. Did you not find that?) I do hope we get to go out on the 15. By Thursday I've done my commute four days in a row and the only romance I want is with a bottle of wine and a hockey game in my housecoat after a hot bath. :p
I'm no gourmand girl really. Yet I do own three vanilla scents, all very different: Mancera Aoud Vanille, Profumum Roma Vanitas (ooooh, it's just loverlyy) and my most recent acquisition Trussardi Pure Jasmine. It smells pistachio, champaca and vanilla, mainly those three notes. I love your videos, by the way. You do have your own style
I've had my eye on the Vanitas forever! I think it's time to bite the bullet! I also have had my eye on the Aoud Vanille. Perhaps we're not so different after all! You're so kind to me, my sister. So glad to have you back! xo
Hi Heaven. I have not tried Fire at Will, but I have tried some of the fragrances it's been compared to. In fact, strangely enough, in about 10 minutes or so you'll see a video about frangrances that all smell the same to me. In that video, although I don't mention Fire at Will specifically, I DO mention SEVERAL fragrances to which the Jovoy is said to be similar. They're all smelling the same to me lately??? You too???
Gasp! I don’t think have ANNNNNY of these😮 …Lord of Misrule Lush*, Signature Montblanc, Golden Decade Zara*, Raghba Lattafa, Mmmm & Vanilla Vibes JHG, & Alien Goddess Mugler are among my most vanilla fwd frags, w/* being my current easy favs. Oh, and yes, I’d have missed you recording from your car if it weren’t for the decadent glimpse of your glorious collection in the background😋…please, you gotta show us more!❤ Happy Valentine’s Day to you & Ryan on the 15th & to all who get in the groove!😘
Girl! I can tell from your list here that your tastes are so refined! I'm looking at Lord of Misrule and remembering smelling it and thinking that I have NO BUSINESS being on fumetube because I really on like uncomplicated fragrances for the most part and just don't understand anything more complicated than, like, baby powder, really. I love how the fragrances in the background of this video are blurred so you can't see that essentially I'm a FRAUD. Like, when you watch other fumetube videos you can see the whole rows of one house and here's me with my little $20 Shoppers Drug Mart fragrances front and centre. Having said that, I LOVE my GLORIOUS collection so much. Thank you for being here for me!
I wonder if you would love it after its sat for a while. It's just so different (to me) and so...smooth. I freaking love it! There's a middle eastern fragrance that's supposed to dupe it; December Vanilla from Paris Corner. The review I watched said that the performance is good (but a lower price - I found it on Frag+Bar, which I've never heard of but is apparently out of Mississauga, for $50 CAD), so I'm pretty darn tempted!
@@ScentSiblingsDotCA So I wore Vanilla Royale today, and I now have one of the perfumes I’ll use in our collab!! ✍🏼 📝 🎶 There are three notes as far as I can tell! Hehe 😉✨
No kidding!!! Right down to the name. Hi vanillabean! My memory SUCKS, so if we've chatted in the comments before, please forgive me not being able to remember. What are your favourite vanillas? They must be amazing! Thanks so much for hanging out with me today!
@@ScentSiblingsDotCA I really love vanilla dream from dapper currently 🥰 but you made me really want to try kyse. I have a few I plan to purchase some time this year 😍😋
If you love vanilla (she said, to a person whose handle is LITERALLY vanillabean), you very well might feel like you've gone to heaven with Kyse. I know they offer little samples for sale so you don't have to blind buy. I hope you'll come back and tell me what you think if you do purchase from her.
Hiya pretty lady! :) I've been trying to find out how we can send you stuff? I don't know how else to relay this message to you, other than a YT comment lol. Do you have a postal box you use for your YT channel?
Aw. em. I can't tell if it's a good thing that you don't celebrate with your husband (maybe every day is a celebration so you don't need special days to...(yeah, I'm barfing in my own mouth a little bit at that...sorry)? I'm glad we can celebrate perfume together!!! Sending so much love your way!
What a wonderful way to spend my commute! With Julia!! Loved this. And fantastic idea about going out the 15th. One of us is usually working which is fine. Like you say….going out another day means less crowds, waiting, etc.

16 years ago this Thursday....
Best decision ever!! (Writing this on the 15. AAWY!)
I think I just need to get the Kyse marshmallow and their vanilla and call it a day! But oh do I wish I could find their lavender one! 😢

I will include a sample in my shopping cart next time I'm buying, along with the Bianco Latte one that's currently so overhyped online. Thank you lovely face! ☺🙏
Ooo, I see Andalusian Soul -I have that one too! Stunning bottle for a stunning fragrance!!
I love knowing we share that!!! It's a stunner for sure. (So are you, by the way. Am I allowed to say that? If not, I'm sorry. True story, though!)
I’d love a dupe for Vanille absolute ,to be honest I’m only enjoying my vanilla perfumes right now and the rest just sit there 🤷♀️
I love my island vanilla so so much thanks to you ❤
Vanilla gets us all in the end to some extent I think. Especially in winter when we just want to walk around in a hug.
You are so precious. I would love to have you as a teacher- those kids are blessed❤! Your earrings are so cute! I bought some sterling wire heart hoops from an artist on Etsy years ago- fun! Pretty red sweater! Such a great tip about going out on 2/15! My sweetheart of 34 years and I just had our Valentine chocolates w/ coffee this morning. We are celebrating through chemo… but love is worth celebrating every day for sure, however you can! I’m happy to hear you say Indult is so similar to several others, I’ve been tempted by it, but the price kept me from pushing play! Montale’s Vanille Absolue is a great pillar in my collection. A faithful pal… I have almost all on your list and love them. Island Vanilla is so gooood! Just got DUA’s Frank Boclet vanilla - excited to let it macerate. ❤from Dallas.
Oh my gosh, Paige. What a lovely comment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love earrings. They're my thing. Ryan bought me the most amazing chain earrings (I'm wearing them today, which I rarely do during the day because they're over-the-top and go past my shoulders!) because I read your comment yesterday about Etsy and earrings and today I thought, in your honour and with thoughts of you, I would proudly wear my hand-crafted earrings, despite how ridiculous they are in the workplace. :) I love that you and your sweetheart of 34 years (holay!) had chocolate and coffee this morning! My heart is with you as you celebrate through chemo. I cannot, not for one second, imagine what either of you are going through. BOTH of you are in my heart and in my version of prayer today. I'm celebrating Ryan today, and now I'm celebrating you, Paige, and your sweetheart as well. There's a camp of folks who smell Nemat Vanilla Musk in Tihota and a camp who smell Vaniglia, which is 100% the same as Vanille Absolu. Sadly, I'm camp Absolu. BUT. If you're lucky enough to sniff Tihota and are camp Vanilla Musk, but with projection, you'd be so lucky. I love knowing we share a lot of these. And I love knowing that you're with your sweetheart and that you're supporting each other through the sh!ttiest thing ever. I'm sending love. Thank you for sharing this with me. And us. oxoxoxoxo (Please keep me updated on health - I don't know if it's your chemo or your partner's, so I'm thinking of you both!)
Thank you so much for your kind words. My super fit, never sick hubs started having lower back pain- thought it was a kidney stone but a scan showed lesions on his bones. So multiple myeloma is a blood cancer that attacks bones- ugh from the pit of hell! His was very progressed when they found it.
But- we, and our 4 kids, have had so much peace. We have a very close relationship with God and each other and we have felt the Lord’s presence and his miraculous provision during this storm. Jesus, chocolate, perfume… good comedians -these are great companions in trying times. I will update you - I know God has great plans for Carter and he’s not done with this story. Thank you for the joy you bring❤!
Did you say vanilla...I am here for this 😍 Don't really care about Valentines, but definitely care about vanilla scents
I own three a these and a few generous samples you sent me! 🥰🥰 My husband has Covid, he can’t smell or taste, should I trick him wearing Hertel and tell him it’s an expensive new citrus perfume I bought for the occasion? 😂😂 I finally tried Lira and it doesn’t work on my skin. I have been lurking this fragrance for over two years now to realize it’s not working at all for me. Maybe I’ll try the Oil Perfumery. Happy Valentine’s Day to you and Ryan! ❤
Aww, I'm sorry to hear your hubby isn't feeling well. But, sneaky you, YES to telling him anything that makes you smile!!! I totally get how Lira might not work for people. Remember when we were talking about Maria that time and you were like, "She doesn't do well with sweet vanillas!" She didn't. And now I think she does. Maybe you will, too. The OP version is just my favourite, but I wonder if you'd like it. It's pretty sweet. If you don't like it, you can put it in your vacuum! :p Did you guys do anything last night? Or is he too sick. Poor guy. Sending love your way for him!
xo
@@ScentSiblingsDotCA we hate sushis! That’s it! 😅😂
I've seen the Solonotes Vanilla at Shoppers! I did sniff it but I can't even remember what it smells like! 😅
How did I not know you're Canadian??????? Why does my memory not work!!!???
@@ScentSiblingsDotCA Yaasss girl! Atlantic Canada yo! ✌🏻 Small lobster fishing island in NB! 🦞😄
HI Julijia❤
Thx for the name drop xxxxxx regarding FRUITEE VANILLE. I still wear and spray on jammies, it lingers.
It was my first blind buy of a Vanilla fragrance, as I struggled with sampling, and wanting to love the note, like others.
Oh, MARSHMALLOW 🤗. LOOOVE! Kyse is so popular. I need to get a sample, its available on Lucky Scent.
Pacifica is another good pick. It's very popular here in the States.
I'm waiting for my decant of ESSENTIAL PARFUM, *DIVINE VANILLA.
It's compared to PDM Herod.
I can't and won't spend a lot of money on fragrances. So many choices and price ranges.
You look beautiful in red🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤
Francine
I think I've smelled Divine Vanilla, and it is one of those non-foody vanillas. people seem to really love it. I wonder if you will. Let me know. I'd love to know. Thank you for always being here for me and being so kind. :) xo
"I have to go spend the rest of my life editing this" girl I COULD NOT RELATE MORE! 😅😅😅 takes me forever and a day! Great job scent sistah! 👏🏻👏🏻💘💘
Thanks, Tammy. It's a labour of love for sure! xo
Hello my beautiful friend! I am here!! (Finally!) 😂 and I'm laughing and smiling already 😄✨
You're so lovely! I'm glad you're here! Thank you.
❤ who doesn’t like vanilla ? Still enjoying the Pacifica island vanilla but thinking I have to get my nose on the Kyle Marshmallow scent.
Enjoy the 15th!! ❤
I'm going to send you some. Period. Please provide address in IG chat. I'm serious. I know that you always say no, but I WANT TO. You're so, so kind and generous to me. Allow me to be the blessing for once? (I remember you said you'd decluttered your Absolute Aphrodesiac, but when I first sniffed that I was in HEAVEN because it was a ((dare I say it? skankier?)) version of IV. Did you not find that?) I do hope we get to go out on the 15. By Thursday I've done my commute four days in a row and the only romance I want is with a bottle of wine and a hockey game in my housecoat after a hot bath. :p
I'm no gourmand girl really. Yet I do own three vanilla scents, all very different: Mancera Aoud Vanille, Profumum Roma Vanitas (ooooh, it's just loverlyy) and my most recent acquisition Trussardi Pure Jasmine. It smells pistachio, champaca and vanilla, mainly those three notes.
I love your videos, by the way. You do have your own style
I've had my eye on the Vanitas forever! I think it's time to bite the bullet! I also have had my eye on the Aoud Vanille. Perhaps we're not so different after all! You're so kind to me, my sister. So glad to have you back! xo
Have you smelled Fire at Will? I’m super curious if that’s just a basic solinote type of situation!?
Hi Heaven. I have not tried Fire at Will, but I have tried some of the fragrances it's been compared to. In fact, strangely enough, in about 10 minutes or so you'll see a video about frangrances that all smell the same to me. In that video, although I don't mention Fire at Will specifically, I DO mention SEVERAL fragrances to which the Jovoy is said to be similar. They're all smelling the same to me lately??? You too???
@@ScentSiblingsDotCA yesss!!
Gasp! I don’t think have ANNNNNY of these😮 …Lord of Misrule Lush*, Signature Montblanc, Golden Decade Zara*, Raghba Lattafa, Mmmm & Vanilla Vibes JHG, & Alien Goddess Mugler are among my most vanilla fwd frags, w/* being my current easy favs. Oh, and yes, I’d have missed you recording from your car if it weren’t for the decadent glimpse of your glorious collection in the background😋…please, you gotta show us more!❤ Happy Valentine’s Day to you & Ryan on the 15th & to all who get in the groove!😘
Girl! I can tell from your list here that your tastes are so refined! I'm looking at Lord of Misrule and remembering smelling it and thinking that I have NO BUSINESS being on fumetube because I really on like uncomplicated fragrances for the most part and just don't understand anything more complicated than, like, baby powder, really. I love how the fragrances in the background of this video are blurred so you can't see that essentially I'm a FRAUD. Like, when you watch other fumetube videos you can see the whole rows of one house and here's me with my little $20 Shoppers Drug Mart fragrances front and centre. Having said that, I LOVE my GLORIOUS collection so much. Thank you for being here for me!
I'm definitely going to retest my sample of Vanilla Royale.. I liked it but didn't love it.. YET! 😉
I wonder if you would love it after its sat for a while. It's just so different (to me) and so...smooth. I freaking love it! There's a middle eastern fragrance that's supposed to dupe it; December Vanilla from Paris Corner. The review I watched said that the performance is good (but a lower price - I found it on Frag+Bar, which I've never heard of but is apparently out of Mississauga, for $50 CAD), so I'm pretty darn tempted!
@@ScentSiblingsDotCA So I wore Vanilla Royale today, and I now have one of the perfumes I’ll use in our collab!! ✍🏼 📝 🎶 There are three notes as far as I can tell! Hehe 😉✨
Loveee vanillaaa 😂❤😊
No kidding!!! Right down to the name. Hi vanillabean! My memory SUCKS, so if we've chatted in the comments before, please forgive me not being able to remember. What are your favourite vanillas? They must be amazing! Thanks so much for hanging out with me today!
@@ScentSiblingsDotCA I really love vanilla dream from dapper currently 🥰 but you made me really want to try kyse. I have a few I plan to purchase some time this year 😍😋
If you love vanilla (she said, to a person whose handle is LITERALLY vanillabean), you very well might feel like you've gone to heaven with Kyse. I know they offer little samples for sale so you don't have to blind buy. I hope you'll come back and tell me what you think if you do purchase from her.
Hiya pretty lady! :) I've been trying to find out how we can send you stuff? I don't know how else to relay this message to you, other than a YT comment lol. Do you have a postal box you use for your YT channel?
Hiya back, pretty lady! I'd love to swap stuff with you! How about an email address? Mine is julija8@hotmail.com. Send me yours? Let's do a thing!! :)
Hi my sweet and wonderful friend ❤
Hello to you, Frances!!! I'm sending you love...and a little surprise!
@@ScentSiblingsDotCA ohh 😮 Julija you don’t need to do that but thank you so much 😊
Yes to sticking my face in a bag of marshmallows ❤
On it!
We don't really celebrate anything, my husband and I, least of all Valentine's Day! But I'll always celebrate perfume 😂
Aw. em. I can't tell if it's a good thing that you don't celebrate with your husband (maybe every day is a celebration so you don't need special days to...(yeah, I'm barfing in my own mouth a little bit at that...sorry)? I'm glad we can celebrate perfume together!!! Sending so much love your way!
@@ScentSiblingsDotCA sending all the love back. Yeah, it's a good thing, all good 🤗❤❤❤
