I love late night discoveries of new wonderful channels. Great picks! Mr K's work for early Gaultier was very stunning. There are times I wish he would return to bold fragrance creation. Cheers! 🎉🎉🎉😊
I love amber in fragranceses it's the best next to vanilla for me lol😂 yes please protect your mental health and I'm so glad that filming is an outlet for you because watching is an outlet for me 😉 thank you! Stay safe and well 🙏🏼
So excited to see a new video from you! I am new to perfume collecting and your channel has quickly become my favorite. Thank you so much for many hours of enjoyment! Can't wait for the next one!💗💗💗
Dear Sarah, Thank You so much for these Videos! You are a Human Fragrance Encyclopedia, so Helpful! Had I not watched this Video I would not have made my decision to purchase the Laura Mercier Ambre Vanille (T.J. MAXX) and I am so glad I did, it smells just like You described it, Thank You Again!
That mini Aerin bottle is SO CUTE! When I saw you talking about Amber Musk I pulled out my long neglected sample bottle (a vial, nothing nearly as cute as your mini!) and wow...what a beautiful scent! It’s so soft and comforting. Very tempted to pick up a bottle of that Laura Mercari Ambre Vanille! Enjoy the rest of your week and happy almost weekend! 💖
FINALLY someone acknowledged the fabulousness that is Halston Amber Woman!! I love the chypre heavy Halston EDP but I didn't know there was an AMBER until about a month ago!!! I quickly bought one & last week purchased a backup!! LM Ambre Vanille is another recent discovery at my TJMaxx's & have a few of those. Just so fab for the fall/winter! I do have L'eau D'amber in my cartS as well as the Histoires 114 so I can't wait to try those, too! Thank you for the AMBER only video!!
So happy that you find doing your videos a necessity, because I really enjoy them, they are always a lovely outlet.I noticed that with the Be layered fragrances they dont list the notes, I wonder if many companies that list their notes are really listing all of them. Many times you smell a fragrance and you swear you can smell a note for ex: honey, but its not listed. I dont have a lot of amber fragrances, mostly vanilla with amber, always something new to try. Thanks for sharing these beauties!!!
I found a Madonna Truth or Dare Naked because of you. I LOVE Amber. I do like the OG white floral Truth or Dare which is a dupe for Fracas, which I also love. I just got a vintage Youth Dew Amber. It’s Amber and cinammon. Love it. Perfect for fall, Christmas. Love it so much, I got a second bottle on eBay just now. It’s strong and lovely. I am enveloped with one spray. I really love Alien Essence absolute. I scoured the Internet and bought a few, now expensive bottles. So will treasure them.
Yay👏 What a timely video. I was just watching your old haul videos for your thoughts on Laura Marcier's Ambre Passion. I enjoy Amber fragrances. 114 is a gorgeous scent. I also enjoy Costume Nationals Soul and Muglers Alien Absolou
Welcome back, Sarah. Really great informative video! Great range in the note - love the variety! You are so beautiful in that cute sailor stripe top, too!
I wonder if the staying power of your Aerin picks has to do with the specific formulations - I own Tangier Vanille from them, and it's such a strong one that I have to remember to only spray it once! It's a gorgeous, dry, intoxicating amber-vanilla. I would be interested to hear what you think of some of their other fragrances, such as Ikat Jasmine, Hibiscus Palm, or Iris Meadow. Xx
I am so excited...I just picked up Armani Si Le Parfum from FragranceNet. I have wanted this perfume for some time, but it was sold out last time I looked and I couldn't find it for under $150 anywhere reputable. Thank you so much for the heads up!
You are kidding me ! The laura Mercier for less than $20 ? 😩😩😩 we have TKMaxx here in the UK and Ive never seen it before ! Im going to keep checking their website and in-store ( when the lockdown is lifted ) - great video & lovely having you back !❤️
Hi Sarah, your passion for perfume is so contagious😊 You know, one amber that is your typical sweet golden, slightly resinous scent but in a very modern way, airy but not weak . It's the Gentle Fluidity Gold MFK 😍😍
A vintage scent i love for the amber and roses combo is Tocade. I have two old formulation bottles with very dark juice and they are magnificent. The new formulation is not half as round,warm and complex as the old formulation. Still a affordable sweet roses and amber scent
Hi Sarah, a great video, amber is one of my favourite notes, I absolutely love Sexy Amber, one of my all time favourite perfumes, I also like the Aerin Amber Musk but it is over priced, I find the Frederic Mahora dupe is just as good for a fraction of the cost. Nikki UK x
Hi Nikki! I totally agree about Amber Musk and all Aerin fragrances for that matter. They are way overpriced for what they are and they don't last at all. I will have to check out the alternative you listed! ❤️🥰🙏🏻
@@briannabever1433 Hello, the perfume is called Federico Mahora FM 834 Fragrance for Her - Pure Royal Collection, the link is here, fmfragrances.com/fm-fragrances-for-her/fm-834/, it costs around £26.00, in my opinion this lasts a lot longer. I hope that helps. Nikki
I picked up Ambre vanille from your recommendation and i had to grab 2 thinking i wouldnt find it again it took me a while to find them at my tj maxx.. is stunning🤩 is very classy ! such a 💎 Ty so much❤️
Hi Sarah I love amber and so glad you chose to share from your collection. However you did not list 2 fragrances you spoke about. They were the two between Laura Mercier and Michael Kors.
Hi Sarah !! Truth or Dare Naked...one of my favorites !! I have the Halston Amber....men's and women's ...both good Have you tried Elie Saab Essence Amber ?? So good too. I am enjoying the Zara Amber Fusion too.
Hi JonCarlo!! I haven't tried the Elie Saab one as i cant find it anywhere. 😭 I would love to though. I keep my eye out for anything from that line. 💗🙏🏻
Thanks!- I'm into ambers right now, too. I just got a decant of MFK Grand Soir which an expensive but simple, classic amber. I wonder of Gaultier 2 is a Grand Soir dupe, because Francis K. often dupes his own creations, and your description sounds like Grand Soir. Anyway, I also just got a bottle of L'Erbolario's Ambraliquida which is a beautiful and more affordable amber that is not like a lot of other ambers. Ambraliquida dries powdery and smells very classy and Italian. I had a bottle of Michael Kors Sexy Amber but I gave it away because I got tired of it because it just wasn't interesting to me.
Hi Christine! I have the Dua version of Grand Soir called Crater and I just compared it to Gaultier 2. They are definitely similar but Gaultier 2 is sweeter, probably due to the vanilla. They are both worth having though, IMHO.
You should get your nose on Amber Desire from Carolina Herrera’a private collection. It is divine! I have E. Saab essence no 3 Amber. I love it. Very potent but sweet at the same time.
Some fossilized tree resin ambers can technically be considered one note, but they're rarely used (if ever) in mainstream perfumery. They're also pretty animalic and don't smell anything like the amber accords we're used to that involve blending labdanum, vanilla and benzoin. But once you get into naturals, it's a whole different ball game. I've been getting back into Ambre 114 too!
Hey Sarah, what was the one u showed comparing to TODN? L'eau Ambre? Nevermind, lol. My fave note is Amber, along w/vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg n earthy type scents. I love Ambre 114 n Ambre Passion n I think they smell so Similar. I have Gaultier 2 n love it, have 2 backups lol. Love the video!
I have Madonna’s perfumes and prefer the Nude as well- it’s so easy to wear, a good everyday not offensive spray😊 I love and have Armani Le Parfum but it lasts an hour in me and then is a powdery amber🤷♀️
Hi love your videos Have you tried One Direction Between us? Its not available anymore I was wondering if you know any alternatives dupes for it? I loved it so much
Hi there! After doing a little research it looks like the closest dupe is La Vie Est Belle from Lancome? I see a lot of bottles for sale on eBay but people want a lot of money for them. I think the least expensive one was $65. You could probably find LVEB for less. I hope that helps!!
I love the Madonna truth or dare and it's a compliment getter! But what happened with the Alejander J Mandarine sultane that you bought? I was expecting to see it in this list, I would love if you review it!
@@SarahMayes Ooh, such a pity! The bottle and the presentation are georgeous. Do you think A.J.'s perfume and Swiss Arabian's Casablanca have some similarities ? By the way, I watch your chanel since the beggining and I love your videos! You have stunning collection!
Unfortunately neither you nor I will ever smell Madonna's new fragrance. She only sold 400 bottles at $250 a bottle. It sold out in minutes. 😣 As usual I don't know what she was thinking. I'm a huge fan of her music but she never thinks about her fans sometimes.
Awesome video Sarah! I was wondering if you would be able to recommend what to layer over Halston Woman Amber? I have it and I find it a bit cloying... any ideas would be sooo appreciated, Thank you!!!
Hi there!! I feel like vanilla fixes anything. If you have a single note vanilla that is more of a dry vanilla than sweet that may help to take the edge off. 💗
Hi I'm a amber fanatic. If i too love the l'artisian l eau ambre extreme which ambers would you recommend me try? I love how thick sweet cozy and spicy it smells
The way you describe L'eau D'ambre Extreme sounds very different from L'eau D'ambre, which to me smelt more like old books. Is it really that different?
I am not sure as I haven’t smelled the original but I could see someone thinking it smells like old books. Mine has a touch of sweetness to it which keeps it from smelling dusty to me. 💕
Hi there!! I have had it in the past and it is nice but not my favorite. It has a pretty strong fig note in it and I really like fig but there was something about it that didn't sit great on my skin. A ton of people really love it though.
@@SarahMayes Thanks for the feedback...You have become my go-to on fragrance chit chat,I tried muse from TM because of you and girl of now from Saab and I'm in love.
You really Need to put the spelling of these perfumes on your video screen, Otherwise,we are having to guess the Hard To Spell names of these fragrances !

I hope you found one that interests you! 🥰❤️
Hi Sarah I love amber and so glad you chose to share from your collection. However you did not list 2 fragrances you spoke about. They were the two between Laura Mercier and Michael Kors.
Oh no!! I bet one was Ancient Amber from Be Layered. Ill figure out what the other was and let you know. ❤️
Okay

Any unisex or semi masculine fragrances in that amber batch of yours? ("I'm game.") 🤔

Definitely Histoires de Parfums Ambre 114 and even Halston Woman Amber. ❤️
Good luck finding a bottle of Gaultier2 at a decent price, it's been long discontinued and the prices are astronomical :(
I was able to find a bottle on ebay but i had to really search for a decent price. ❤️
