Peaches and lemons are some of my most memorable scents. Peaches, because I remember my grandpa bringing peaches all the way from Virginia, hand picked by him in his garden, to my family in Illinois to enjoy. When I was in hospital, I ate peaches with yogurt and granola for breakfast everyday, and it was my favorite part of the day. Lemons because lemonade from my childhood, drinking it on hikes during lunch or on a float trip from CapriSuns. Always wearing peach body spray (perfume is too much for my dad and I, we are allergic) with a matching body cream or a lemon body cream
I grew up on the Mediterranean but no longer live there, so anything that smells of orange blossoms, figs or pomegranates is close to my heart. Such scents always feel like echoes of distant childhood memories.
Do you have a favorite perfume that smells like oranges? My grandparents owned orange groves so everything I smell oranges I think of them. And I’m always looking for new orange scents. 😊
@@aislinnbates7806 I have found Jo Malone's Orange Blossom to be the truest orange blossom fragrance. It isn't too sweet and retains the citrusy nature of that flower, which makes it my favourite scent. Another one I like is L'Occitane's Neroli & Orchidée, which is a smoother, softer fragrance than the Jo Malone one. Diptyque's Eau des Sens and Lancome's O de L'Orangerie might be worth a try as well. I'd be glad to hear about what you've tried so far. 😊
Diomedea Exulans oooh those sound lovely thanks for the recommendations!! Currently all I have tried is the Atelier Cologne in the scent Orange Sanguine, which I love but I find the fragrance only lasts around 3 hours on me which is a shame.
@@aislinnbates7806 I have to try that one. Always excited to discover new scents. :) I know what you mean. Longevity is not the strongest point of colognes. The Jo Malone one lasts at least 5 hours on me though, especially when sprayed on clothes.
This might be weird but the most nostalgic scent to me is the scent of the thick Nivea cream, you know the one in those flat blue tins? It’s the only moisturizer my mom uses so every time I smell it on someone else, it reminds me of my mom ^_^
the way you talk about scent and beauty is so wonderfully evocative, its almost like poetry !! one of my favourite scents is fairy laundry powder that reminds me of my granny and huge white sheets drying on the lines ✨🌥
Personally, I change my perfume EVERY YEAR. And I always always always leave half of the bottle. Everytime I want to go back to the same feeling I felt in a certain year, I just spray it all over again.
Before I discovered your account I never wore makeup because I didn't know how! Since discovering your channel I have become a makeup junkie! I love your fresh and glowy look!
I love the vanilla scent that gives me the warm feeling like a long hug after a hard day. I don’t really know why it’s my favorite scent, but maybe because I associate that warm nostalgic scent with my loved ones 💕
Ohh Margherita, this means the world - Italy is my favourite country to visit so it's heartbreaking seeing the situation there. Thinking of you! So glad my videos can help in any way. Look after yourself! ❤️ x
I really love the smell of coffee! It reminds me of when my dad used to make me coffee every morning before I went to class in high school! Never did a day go by where he didn’t make me coffee. Since I left for college, I don’t get to wake up to that amazing smell, but whenever I come home on the weekends, he always has a cup fresh and ready for me 🥰
Ohh such a nice memory Daniela! I'm one of the very few people on the planet who can't stand the smell or taste of coffee 😂 but tea has the same nice memories attached for me! x
lavender is my favourite scent, I have the most special memories with my grandma because I struggled with anxiety attacks from a young age. She bought me lavender scented things to try and help me, so lavender always makes me smile and relax. Thanks again for the great video!
Smells do truly invoke so many memories, I don't think I can ever smell a pot of Ponds cold cream ever again without thinking of my late grandmother. I tend to gravitate towards woodsy, dark leathery smells but I've come to realise it's because my mum always wears those kind of perfumes and she has unintentionally dictated my tastes in scents as well! Occasionally something like a hit of sandalwood, mango, or night-flowering jasmine will remind me of childhood holidays, and I'll crave the scent for days after, but as a rule of thumb, I probably smell of tea, leather, cedar, and sandalwood. Still on a hunt for a signature perfume, although I don't think I'll be able to commit! DS & Durga's Burning Barbershop and almost all of Le Labo smells like heaven to me.
The Warm and cosy body spray from Victoria secret pink reminds me of when I go to the south of France my family have a caravan there and we go every year but sadly we can’t go this year because of covid-19 :( but I hope everyone is staying safe and looking after their selves xx 😊
Sorry to hear Megan! So many of us have had travel plans affected by the current situation, but it will make it all the more special when we can explore again ☺️✈️ x
@@meganelizabeth2319 i haven't yet because of everything going on but I want to have a serious conversation with that brand to persuade them into becoming cruelty free because if other brand can (like their sister company bath & body works) so can they
I only recently discovered how beautiful geraniums smell! Going to order the Aesop body wash today. The scents that evoke the strongest memories for me are hyacinth and nutmeg. My grandma's yard always smelled like hyacinths and every time I spent the night at her house, the aroma of nutmeg was what I woke up to in the morning
Beautiful blossomed lilac trees at my beach house will always be my favorite scent memory, especially as they bloom around the beginning of summer where I live 💜
Ahhhh my ideal Saturday afternoon (here in Mexico) baking cookies and watching you're videos (my favourite ones by the way 😉) Sending you Matilda lots of virtual hugs during these times 💕
Megababe Rosy Pits and Sunny Pits are my fave deoderants in existence! I unfortunately can't use a lot of natural deoderants because most of them contain baking soda which creates this very painful rash on me. It looks like Native has that going on so I'll have to admire from afar! I also love the smell of Smith's Rosebud salve, it's such a nice lip balm, smells like Turkish Delight.
Ooh yes, Rosebud Salve will definitely pop up in a rose related video in future! 🌹 I've heard good things about Megababe too - does it have a rosy scent or is that just the name? x
Citrus blossom is my fave scent after years of having a calamondin and lemon tree growing in my yard. Every time I step outside during blossom season and it wafts over with the breeze, it reminds me of spring!
I think the timing of this video is perfect Matilda! In a time where most of us are stuck inside, it’s great to think of good memories to escape this world and the sense of smell is the best way to remember them. They can transport us to a happier time. Thank you for always making amazing videos!
Thank you so much Juliette, really appreciate that! I'd been planning this video topic for a long time and it seemed like a perfect fit when this partnership opportunity came up several months ago. So much has changed since then, and scents have certainly become particularly important to help us feel calm and cosy in our homes or to bring back happy memories ☺️🌿 x
My absolute favorite scent is jasmine! This has been my favorite scent since I was a child and have always gravitated toward perfumes that heavily feature jasmine. But jasmine gained extra meaning when my husband and I went on our honeymoon to Paris and Rome in the Spring of 2018. Both cities had jasmine everywhere! We saw multi-story buildings and massive walls covered with it everywhere we went and the scent permeated the entire trip. Now we have a lovely jasmine bush in front of our house, so I smell that lovely scent every day.
Lavender, rose, eculyptus, and melon are some of my favorite scents. God's nature is so beautiful and the wide range of scents He created awe me. Nature is beautiful.
hi matilda ! i absolutely love watching your videos before going to sleep , i think it’s your accent that i love (😂) In fact i love your videos so much , that i finally gave in and yesterday i made my first purchase from glossier ( haloscope in moonstone and quartz , clear lip gloss & cloud paint in puff ) . i’ve been wanting to try the brand ever since watching you and seeing your glossier everyday makeup routine pushed me over the edge 😂 . can’t wait to finally have my own little piece of your minimalist makeup style !
your video is always soothing and calming, I love it! fresh mint is my all time fav scent but lately I've been loving vanilla since it gives me warm and cozy feeling 😻
As a kid I was once gifted a bottle of 'Ma Chérie Jeans' from the Brazilian brand 'O Boticário'. I spent the following decade wearing exclusively that scent, even when I moved away from Brazil I would beg anyone who came to visit to bring me a bottle. It's since been discontinued (much to my dismay) and I've searched high and low for dupes but none seem to be quite right. I still keep the empty bottle around, and smelling it reminds me of being a kid and living in Brazil :)
Matilda! I have watched many make up channels but the amount of knowledge I gained from your channel is massive. You have introduced me to a different range of products and I can't wait to try it out. Please keep making such content. Lots of love. ❤
Tina! This comment has absolutely made my day, if not my entire two and a half years of being on RUclips! Thank you so so much. I always hope people will learn something new here so I really appreciate it! ☺️👏 x
Rose is one of my favorite scents as well. I grow English Roses in my garden because I love them so much, and they just make my life so much better. I love going out first thing in the morning and smelling them. One of my strongest scent memories is wet dirt/sage brush. I used to spend part of every year at my aunt's house in Nevada, and there would sometimes be massive thunderstorms out in the desert. The wet dirt, hot asphalt and sage smell is so strong it's overpowering. Whenever I smell it again it brings me right back to my childhood.
Lavender has been a comfort scent to me for such a long time. I remember growing up with a small pillow filled with lavender scented rice to help ease headaches and stomachaches which I had a lot of as a kiddo. Mint has been such a staple scent for me as well! I took so many baths in peppermint scented water. Growing up in the Midwest, I’ve noticed that the scent of Vernors ginger ale is such a nostalgic one for me too.
Dear Matilda this is one of my favoutite's videos! It really touched my heart. . . When talking about scents that bring us back memories of our childhood, or reminding our warmest relatives, or when being 18th, & so on!!! I do love this video. I think it's my top 1!!! How amazing mixing beauty, scents, nice & unforgettable memories! Thankssss! 😍😍🤗🤗🌹🌹🌿🌴🍉🍍🍋🍊🍐🍊🍇🍂🍁🍒🍓🌰🌻🌺🌼🍷🍭🍫
I discovered your videos only a few days ago and I can’t stop watching them. The lighting, the editing, the calm and fresh feel of your videos is so welcoming. I love the way you open the bottles or roll up a deo. And I’m eager to try many of your products and makeup. I’m usually a bit hesitant to try out different skincare products and mostly stick to Bodyshop, Clinique and Lancome.
Matilda thank you for posting these vids, I love watching your calming yet entertaining videos, they get me through the morning Daily since my house is dead silent and music creeps me out if there is no other noise! I’m quite paranoid and you really ease that paranoia!
the way your nails match the necessaire body exfoliator! aesthetic goals! i also am a huuuuge fan of eucalyptus, and another scent i love so much is lavender!
My scent memory is Daisy by Marc Jacobs. It was my mum's favourite scent when I was little. It was her signature for years. Nowadays I'm a bit sensitive to perfume scents because a lot of them are way too strong or sickeningly sweet for my taste but Daisy always brings me back to my childhood. She doesn't wear Daisy anymore but I do! The scent of Daisy, as well as jasmine flowers or jasmine scented products are my go to when I'm anxious or just want to relax. I don't usually take baths but watching your videos really makes me want a jasmine or Daisy scented bath product :)
Thanks for sharing Daisy! I love jasmine too, it always reminds me of my family's garden. Marc Jacobs Daisy was something I wore for years! You'll see it in my perfume video in future ☺️ x
The aesthetic of your videos is over the top girl! Sleek, beautiful, classy... Well done!!!! My favourite scents are white tea, orange blossom, cinnamon, vanilla, freesia, jasmine... I know some of these are very strong and some others so delicate. Love combining them. Especially in oils and use them in candles or massage.
every time Matilda says something along the lines of "regular viewers will know that i really like using x product"... I feel very proud as a viewer because I'm like "Yes! I do in fact know that you really enjoy that product." wonderful video, Matilda. very pleasant to watch as I procrastinate my computer science problem set. thank you for taking the time to plan, film, and edit these videos!
This was sooo on time! It was a long workweek, and I knew this video was waiting for me. Matilda your videos are works of art-the backdrop of fresh flowers and eucalyptus literally transported me to a secret garden 💖💖 thank you.
i absolute love watching your videos! your voice and aesthetic are very calming, perfect when i need to step away from life for a few minutes. have a lovely day!!
Oh wow the visual of this video + your soothing voice is sooo therapeutic! I sniff on my eucalyptus, rose, and peppermint oil while watching this and it enhances the experience haha
I've never had a sense of smell (congenital Anosmia), but!! a few years ago, I had a "revelation" xD that there are some sensations-- given by particular irritants (some flowers, etc.) -- that I can feel!! LOVE eucalyptus (even though I don't experience the honey part of it), peppermint, mint, jasmine, lavender, gardenia, fresh cashmere right out of the dryer, bergamot(Nest- Indigo perfume is amazing!), cypress, salt in a container (Lush Ocean Salt), but not the actual ocean lol, & hopefully more as I explore the world of perfume!!
As a Portuguese, the one scent that will always get me is garlic and onion frying gently in olive oil. Obviously, that's not a smell I want in my cosmetics, though. But my grandmother always used this soap called Patti that smells mostly like cedar and other herbs, it's a nice smell but it just makes me think of old ladies. Rosewater has also been something that was always present in my home so that reminds me of my childhood too.
I can definitively say that Native deodorant works. I have given up on aluminum free deodorants because any brand that I tied in the past always failed. I came upon Native by chance and am totally hooked. It definitely works and they have fantastic scents. My 16 year old son is using it too! Recently my friend was visiting me from Chicago who just finished chemo and radiation to treat breast cancer - she told me that Native was the only deodorant she was allowed to use during the treatment. Matilda thank you for putting out another video - we all really need it now. I rewatched many of your previous videos too - they are so soothing during this difficult time!
Thank you so much Irina! Glad my videos can provide a nice distraction. Nice to hear Native is working well for you and your family too, and your friend. All the best for her recovery! ☺️ x
I’ve been using Native deodorant for a few months now. I love the lavender and rose one! The scent is so nice and the fact it’s cruelty free is a plus. Highly recommended!
I used to work at a flower shop as well, miss it so much. It's daffodil season where I live right now. Some smaller varieties have an intoxicating smell!
Isn't it a nice environment Emma! ☺️🌸 Ohh you lucky thing, there's nothing like daffodils springing up everywhere. The change of seasons is so much more evident in the northern hemisphere x
I love this topic! Some of my favourite scented beauty products are the Tartelette in Bloom eyeshadow palette and the NYX and Fenty glosses (vanilla), the Glossier Balm Dot Com in Birthday Cake, the Soap and Glory Breakfast Body Scrub (maple syrup), the Lush Eau Roma toner (lavender and rose) and the Burt’s Bees lip balm in Pomegranate. When it comes to perfume I love Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir in Autumn and Winter and Jo Malone Peony and Blush Suede in Spring and Summer 😊
Thank you for sharing Hannah! 😄 I'm very keen to try Pomegranate Noir after it came up in my research for my Taylor Swift Makeup Bag video - it's one of the few Jo Malone scents I haven't smelt before! x
Just placed an order, so excited! And I'm soooo glad you talked about fragrance and scents; it's an absolute passion of mine. I love the time-travel effect of sniffing something, especially when it's unexpected, it feels like rediscovering part of yourself or your childhood. Having a signature scent really appeals to me, and I can totally see you as tying the knot with rose, but I love building my fragrance wardrobe too much to commit to just one scent. Getting ready in the morning and choosing which scent to wear always gives me the impression that I can actually build myself into the woman I want to be for the day. Job interview? Glossier You. Night out with friends? Widdringtonia layered with vanilla. Night in? By The Fireplace by Maison Margiela. Summer day out? Versace's Vanitas. I could go on, but I'd be geeking out again. Love you, thank you for this x
Thank you heaps for the Native tip. I started having issues with aluminum based antiperspirants about two years ago and a lot of standard deodorants make my underarms peel. I gave native a try once but was upset with the oil stains it was leaving on my work clothes. I gave it another go, applying sparingly as you recommend, and I’m smelling fresh or not smelling at all by the end of the day now. No more b.o., greased clothes, or peeling armpits!
I am a teacher who has moved to the virtual classroom and spraying on my perfume in the morning just makes me feel more like myself. Lancôme La Vie est Belle is my scent. Lavender however, is top of my list for nostalgic scents. My mom grows and dries lavender and always gives sachets as gifts. her house has little bunches of lavender in each room. Also Magie Noir and Chanel No.5, which my mom ad grandma wore while i was growing up. I still have the tiny sample bottle of Chanel No. 5 my grandma kept on her dresser.
I love Native - I’ve tried so many natural deodorants and this one REALLY works - using the Chai + Vanilla scent now. I really appreciate that they are constantly adding new scents. Thanks, Matilda, your videos are a really nice escape right now💕
My favourite scents are Orange and tuberose. I associate tuberose with my childhood memory of weddings. We use Tuberose and red rose garlands in our culture and I remember playing as a kid in weddings and the amazing scent of tuberose garlands. I have come to love that scent so much. More people need to try it out. I have tried Kim Kardashian's tuberose and jasmine perfume which smells good but not as good as fresh tuberose flowers. I also love the taste and smell of fresh oranges. They have a delicious citrusy sweet smell. I have tried orange scents and essential oils but nothing comes close to freshly picked oranges.
I have to say that growing up in Greece my most loved scents are Jasmine and Lilac.In springtime when the wind blows through them you can smell them from far away!
My favorites scents are lemon verbena, lime, rosemary, rose, and lavender. I love walking by rosemary plants; letting my hands pass through the leaves; and smelling the lingering oils on my fingers for hours.
I got a Glossier You sample. I bought a full size! I like how indescribable it is 🤷♀️ I think I've found my signature scent for the next 20 years! I wish I could have the solid too, great for travel. My favourite deodorant is the Malin and Goetz eucalyptus, which came free with my Cult Beauty order. Aesop ressurection hand sanitiser is great for after popping to the shop during self isolation, with a nice smell. Jurlique rosewater balancing mist and By Terry baume de rose are great too! Thank you sooo much for leading me to these great products!
I love all of the scents you mentioned, one of the reasons I love watching your videos as your picks always sit in the range of what I like. This is probably one of my favourite videos of yours as scent is super important to me and is kind of a make or break for me, it totally dictates my mood. I have to agree with you on the eucalyptus, as a fellow Australian I think there is something so nostalgic about eucalyptus. Another favourite scent would be lavender as my mother would spray lavender onto my pillow as a baby and child growing up to help me sleep. My mother has always been into essentials oils as well, she has huge collection of them and I’m beginning to build my own. I love the Thursday Plantations Peppermint Oil, great for headaches, nausea and just a great overall pick me up. I love using it as my daily fragrance as well. I also love the Bosistos aroma mists, you’re supposed to just spray them into the air but I like to do a small spritz onto my clothes and I don’t know if you know of the meditation range but whenever I smell it it makes me think of my mother, so I have the body butter and balm! Weird side note but I’ve been wanting to get a tattoo for a while now, my first one, and it’s a sort of botanical family crest. I picked different plants to represent my family, lavender for my mother, a snow gum tree stump for my father and three eucalyptus leaves for myself and my 2 siblings. The lavender is obvious but my father is really into woodworking, metalworking, blacksmithing and the like and as a child he would have me sit on a tree stump outside his workshop so I was safe and could watch him work. The 3 eucalyptus leaves represent all the times my siblings and I would play and have adventures and I can still smell the eucalyptus leaves from those hot summer days...
My favourite scents are vanilla, coconut, mint and lemon. I also have a soft spot for the perfumes YSL Rive Gauche and Estée Lauder Youth Dew because they were the signature perfumes of each of my grandmothers and that is such a strong scent link.
Wow, that's so cool Ali! I don't think I have synesthesia exactly, but I can certainly see specific places very clearly when I smell particular scents and products. All part of my scent memories ☺️🌿 x
I can't really say what's nostalgic since I'm only fourteen, turning fifteen next month, but I absolutely love florals. Not the sickly, clear plastic tablecloth and rough cloth couches that mess up the posture kind that are at Grandma's house, but something truly androgynous, despite how feminine florals are. I absolutely adore the British rose line from the body shop, and can't go a day without having Jaipur by Boucheron as my scent, it's a lovely balance between feminine jasmine and rose, and woody and spicy notes like cedar and cinnamon
My mom got this blueberry reed infuser as a birthday gift when I was in high school and it made the entire house smell like it for weeks. It was the time when I was really obsessed with a show and I would draw the entire day. I randomly remember it sometimes and miss it.
my favourite scent is so obscure, but it’s the Hollister sprays because they remind me of my first year of secondary school, when my city were hosting the olympics and it was one of the best summers ever!
For me I think my biggest scent memories are associated with either vanilla or eucalyptus! Vanilla reminds me of baking with my mother, and eucalyptus reminds me of the bath oil my mom would let me and my sister use if we'd just gotten better from a flu or a cold, and she'd make us have baths to relax a bit. Both are very happy memories :)
Lavender, rose, rosemary and wisteria are all sentimental for me because I grew up with them in the garden :) When I was little I have a vague memory attaching my mum's friend to this little ceramic pot with a cork in the top that always smelled of something fragrant. Then a couple years ago working in a cosmetics shop I smelled a new Juniper body wash and instantly thought of that pot and realised it must be juniper which is nostalgic to me. And I was given a small bottle of Revlon Pink Happiness perfume when I was a teenager. Because it was travel-sized and slim, I took it and used it for the first time on National Youth Science Forum which was a 12-day trip interstate before Year 12, which I still look on as the start of the rest of my life, it was life-changing and amazing and the Post-NYSF-Depression was real. Later that year I took that bottle of perfume on Year 12 Retreat and when I smelled it on myself on the first day of that retreat I damn nearly cried from how strong and longed-for the memory of NYSF was. These memories remind me of the movie Anastasia when she is reunited with her grandmother and she smells peppermint as she walks past, and recalls a memory that only she and her grandmother could have known :)
Thank you so much Zosia! I *LOVE* that you referenced Anastasia, I was honestly thinking of her and her grandmother's peppermint oil the whole time I made this video 😂👏 Thanks for sharing your scent memories! x
Thanks for recommending the native deodorant ❤️this is the first one without aluminium and alcohol i tried that really works and smells great ( and not so overpowering )
Hi there, a new subscriber here! I really love the format of your videos, it’s so clean and fresh. I’m also a eucalyptus and mint kind of girl too here! I’m more into eucalyptus as it’s so refreshing and familiar too-and also a bit masculine in scent, not a fan of overly floral scents. Back home in Indonesia we grew up slathering eucalyptus rubbing oil on our chest and stomach when we have cold symptoms, bloating or tummy ache. It’s so comforting. I love Dr. Bronner’s Eucalyptus castille soap. I use it as both body wash and hand wash. So lush.
Another calming video, love talking and hearing about scents, there's something really comforting and uplifting about smelling a nice scent or putting on perfume. I personally love fig scents, as well as scents containing amber because it has this "warm" aspect to it. I hear about Native deodorants so often, I'll wait until the quarantine is over to order one, their scent range is quite impressive, I'm curious about the vanilla and coconut one or the mint cucumber you mentioned. Have a lovely day
😮 As someone who’s started paying attention to fragrances and getting into perfume, I already know that this video is going to become a favourite. I love the Aēsop rejuvenate intensive balm and a rose by any other name body cleanser, to me they have such a ‘comfort in the wintertime’ vibe.
Every now and then I stop at drugstore to sniff some basic Nivea Visage face wash (the blue one). Some old edition of it was the first face wash my mum ever bought me when puberty started kicking in - till this day this scent makes me feel instantly more like adult :D
Ah, Matilda you’re just the best and make some of my absolute favourite content on youtube. (I’m also very proud your an Aussie!) Thanks for all your lovely videos.
I grew up with Strawberry Shortcake little plastic figurines. Strawberry Shortcake had such a distinct strawberry kids bath soap smell that whenever I smell it I think of her. There’s also a orange and rosemary lotion my grandmother used that has been one of my favorite scents as well. It’s strange to think that such random childhood smells could live that much of an imprint on our memories.
This was especially beautiful video with all those plants appearing! 😊💕 I love rose scent most... my current perfume is Rose de Chloé, which I made a video about. By the way, you pronounced Kneipp correctly!!
the most nostalgic smells for me would probably be artificial strawberry and petroleum jelly lol. my favorite dolls were actually scented like strawberry and whenever someone uses the smith's strawberry lip balm I remember playing with my dolls. and petroleum jelly or vaseline is particularly nostalgic for me because every time I was done in the bath or shower I covered myself in a layer of it to protect my eczematous skin. i switched products when I was around 11 and now vaseline reminds me of listening to old pop songs on the radio after a shower. i think my favorite used to be hot n cold by katy perry bc I have an old video of me singing it.
My mum always used to wear Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea perfume and I never not think of her when I smell it. While listening to your video I went to go grab my eucalyptus and lavender oils for my diffuser :D I only used to associate eucalyptus with the lozenges you get for when you're sick, but you've definitely changed my mind about that !
I love things that remind me of the smell of the Australian bush after it rains. Especially in the shower. My favourite is Salus eucalyptus and rosemary purifying body scrub. It is an Australian brand I think and it is a bamboo and pumice scrub. I just love the smell of it.
I wear Jo Malone red roses for 3 years now! Not everyday though, sometimes wear it after midnight shower or switching up with Penhaligon's Elizabethan rose (I believe they discontinued it). I just love roses! 🌹
What a lovely video! I really have been enjoying your unique aesthetic and intresting opinions on products. Very excited for your upcoming fragrance timeline video!
I think a scent I associate with my childhood is definitely honeysuckle, it would bloomed in the spring and there were bushes on the way to school that I always smelled, so I’ve loved the scent but I don’t find it in body lotions/soaps or perfumes that often. But I love the scent of rose, my mom grew great big roses bushes in front of our house for as long as I could remember.
Glossier you gives me flashbacks to my freshman year of college. I got a little sample with one of my orders and wore it everyday until it ran out. Honestly, I don’t like the scent anymore, it’s too “mall-y” for me but whenever I smell it on anyone else it seriously takes me back!
Nice that you have that memory attached to it Nathalie! It always reminds me of New York, you can't go anywhere without smelling someone wearing it 😂 x
Rose, bay leaf, sugar, lemons, coconut, and ink are my childhood scents. Both my mom and grandmother were pastry chefs so most of those scents were from the things they concocted. The ink is all my dad. Also bay leaf because of the splash he used. He was a calligrapher, among other things.
I just bought the Native body wash and a deodorant last week! They have a cypress and ginger scent that's divine. However, I love the eucalyptus body wash for nighttime, it's very soothing and the scent is so unique! Thanks Matilda for the code!
I’ve been wanting to try Native deodorant, so thanks for the code! And I just ordered Necessaire Sandalwood body wash but haven’t tried it yet. I was just telling my girls about how I used to walk over to my great-aunt’s house after school to take a bath in her claw foot tub and use her lavender fragrance - such a wonderful memory.
Peaches and lemons are some of my most memorable scents. Peaches, because I remember my grandpa bringing peaches all the way from Virginia, hand picked by him in his garden, to my family in Illinois to enjoy. When I was in hospital, I ate peaches with yogurt and granola for breakfast everyday, and it was my favorite part of the day. Lemons because lemonade from my childhood, drinking it on hikes during lunch or on a float trip from CapriSuns. Always wearing peach body spray (perfume is too much for my dad and I, we are allergic) with a matching body cream or a lemon body cream
Thank you so much for sharing Eileen! This is exactly what I mean - we can have so many memories attached to particular scents ☺️👍 x
this is SO lovely to read
I really enjoyed reading this comment 🥰😍
what is your favorite peach spray if you don't mind me asking? i'm always looking for a good peach scent! :)
I grew up on the Mediterranean but no longer live there, so anything that smells of orange blossoms, figs or pomegranates is close to my heart. Such scents always feel like echoes of distant childhood memories.
Thank you for sharing! They sound like very happy memories ☺️☀️ x
Do you have a favorite perfume that smells like oranges? My grandparents owned orange groves so everything I smell oranges I think of them. And I’m always looking for new orange scents. 😊
@@aislinnbates7806 I have found Jo Malone's Orange Blossom to be the truest orange blossom fragrance. It isn't too sweet and retains the citrusy nature of that flower, which makes it my favourite scent. Another one I like is L'Occitane's Neroli & Orchidée, which is a smoother, softer fragrance than the Jo Malone one. Diptyque's Eau des Sens and Lancome's O de L'Orangerie might be worth a try as well. I'd be glad to hear about what you've tried so far. 😊
Diomedea Exulans oooh those sound lovely thanks for the recommendations!! Currently all I have tried is the Atelier Cologne in the scent Orange Sanguine, which I love but I find the fragrance only lasts around 3 hours on me which is a shame.
@@aislinnbates7806 I have to try that one. Always excited to discover new scents. :) I know what you mean. Longevity is not the strongest point of colognes. The Jo Malone one lasts at least 5 hours on me though, especially when sprayed on clothes.
This might be weird but the most nostalgic scent to me is the scent of the thick Nivea cream, you know the one in those flat blue tins? It’s the only moisturizer my mom uses so every time I smell it on someone else, it reminds me of my mom ^_^
I've actually never tried it but I know exactly which tin you mean! 👍 x
That smell reminds me of the summer and the beach in Spain we always used nivea sun cream and the blue one for after the shower it smells of the 80s!
They make a perfume of this scent now
i remember that scent too! very distinct, almost sharp.
emmeline sb yes! sharp and almost idk, cool/cold?
the way you talk about scent and beauty is so wonderfully evocative, its almost like poetry !! one of my favourite scents is fairy laundry powder that reminds me of my granny and huge white sheets drying on the lines ✨🌥
Thank you so much, such a beautiful compliment! ☺️ x
For real! So calming also 👌🏿

Personally, I change my perfume EVERY YEAR. And I always always always leave half of the bottle. Everytime I want to go back to the same feeling I felt in a certain year, I just spray it all over again.
Thanks for sharing Marcella! Sounds like a nice approach. I'm sure most people change up their perfume a lot more than I do! 😂🌹 x
I’ve always loved warm woody scents with a hint of sweetness. This is probably why Replica “by the fireplace” is my signature scent
Ooh that sounds nice Adelie! 🔥 x
Before I discovered your account I never wore makeup because I didn't know how! Since discovering your channel I have become a makeup junkie! I love your fresh and glowy look!
Nice to hear you've found a style that suits you, thank you Lael! ☺️ x
I love the vanilla scent that gives me the warm feeling like a long hug after a hard day. I don’t really know why it’s my favorite scent, but maybe because I associate that warm nostalgic scent with my loved ones 💕
Samee I love smelling sweet and comfortable
Thank you for sharing! We could all do with that kind of feeling at the moment ☺️ x
Your voice and your videos are so soothing and calming during this incredibly hard time. A big and sincere thank you from Italy. 🇮🇹♥️
Ohh Margherita, this means the world - Italy is my favourite country to visit so it's heartbreaking seeing the situation there. Thinking of you! So glad my videos can help in any way. Look after yourself! ❤️ x
I really love the smell of coffee! It reminds me of when my dad used to make me coffee every morning before I went to class in high school! Never did a day go by where he didn’t make me coffee. Since I left for college, I don’t get to wake up to that amazing smell, but whenever I come home on the weekends, he always has a cup fresh and ready for me 🥰
Ohh such a nice memory Daniela! I'm one of the very few people on the planet who can't stand the smell or taste of coffee 😂 but tea has the same nice memories attached for me! x
lavender is my favourite scent, I have the most special memories with my grandma because I struggled with anxiety attacks from a young age. She bought me lavender scented things to try and help me, so lavender always makes me smile and relax. Thanks again for the great video!
emma metzler what a wonderful grandma!! And she gave you a remedy that’s safe & healthy!!
What a lovely scent memory Emma! So thoughtful of her ☺️💜 x
Same it’s the best
Smells do truly invoke so many memories, I don't think I can ever smell a pot of Ponds cold cream ever again without thinking of my late grandmother. I tend to gravitate towards woodsy, dark leathery smells but I've come to realise it's because my mum always wears those kind of perfumes and she has unintentionally dictated my tastes in scents as well! Occasionally something like a hit of sandalwood, mango, or night-flowering jasmine will remind me of childhood holidays, and I'll crave the scent for days after, but as a rule of thumb, I probably smell of tea, leather, cedar, and sandalwood. Still on a hunt for a signature perfume, although I don't think I'll be able to commit! DS & Durga's Burning Barbershop and almost all of Le Labo smells like heaven to me.
Thank you so much for sharing! What a nice mix of scents ☺️ x
The Warm and cosy body spray from Victoria secret pink reminds me of when I go to the south of France my family have a caravan there and we go every year but sadly we can’t go this year because of covid-19 :( but I hope everyone is staying safe and looking after their selves xx 😊
Sorry to hear Megan! So many of us have had travel plans affected by the current situation, but it will make it all the more special when we can explore again ☺️✈️ x
Hey I wanted to let you know that the body sprays, perfumes, lotion, etc from VS and PINK aren't cruelty free.
Selena Y. Aww no 🥺 that’s okay I’ll try and find an alternative 💖
@@meganelizabeth2319 i haven't yet because of everything going on but I want to have a serious conversation with that brand to persuade them into becoming cruelty free because if other brand can (like their sister company bath & body works) so can they
I only recently discovered how beautiful geraniums smell! Going to order the Aesop body wash today. The scents that evoke the strongest memories for me are hyacinth and nutmeg. My grandma's yard always smelled like hyacinths and every time I spent the night at her house, the aroma of nutmeg was what I woke up to in the morning
Ohh what a lovely memory! Hyacinths are one of my favourite flowers 💙 x
I love Jo Malone's Poppy and Barley, and the Wood, Sage and Sea Salt!
Ooh I haven't tried Poppy and Barley before, but I've certainly smelt the famous Wood Sage and Sea Salt! 👍 x
Wood Sage and Sea Salt and Bluebell are my faves from Jo Malone. Wore both of them all of last year and got so many compliments! 😊
Wood sage and sea salt...love love this..
Beautiful blossomed lilac trees at my beach house will always be my favorite scent memory, especially as they bloom around the beginning of summer where I live 💜
Ohh wow Caroline, can I come and stay at that beach house?! Sounds like heaven! 😄 x
@@matildaonvideo It truly is ☺️ You've got a standing invitation!
What a well-done partnership/ad video! I’m in the market for a new body scrub so I’m glad you mentioned some - thanks for more great content, Matilda!
Thank you so much, really appreciate that! 😄 x
Omg, I love love love how Australians say "aluminum"
There's an 'i' before the 'um' at the end of aluminium so we just pronounce every letter - Americans seem to get rid of that one! 😄 x
Matilda 😂 i was typing fast.
I love warmer, citrus scents. I love the smell of all the lush shower gels and perfumes!
Thanks for sharing Abigail! 🍋 I like citrus too but unfortunately Lush products are far too strong for me x
Ahhhh my ideal Saturday afternoon (here in Mexico) baking cookies and watching you're videos (my favourite ones by the way 😉) Sending you Matilda lots of virtual hugs during these times 💕
Ohh that sounds like heaven Victoria! Thank you so much 🍪 Enjoy your Saturday x
Megababe Rosy Pits and Sunny Pits are my fave deoderants in existence! I unfortunately can't use a lot of natural deoderants because most of them contain baking soda which creates this very painful rash on me. It looks like Native has that going on so I'll have to admire from afar!
I also love the smell of Smith's Rosebud salve, it's such a nice lip balm, smells like Turkish Delight.
Ooh yes, Rosebud Salve will definitely pop up in a rose related video in future! 🌹 I've heard good things about Megababe too - does it have a rosy scent or is that just the name? x
@@matildaonvideo The scent is more Herbal than Rosy, I honestly don't smell a lot of rose in it more or a general spicy floral vibe!
🥺💖 i just love watching your videos, especially in times like these.
Thank you so much Kimberly! Glad they can provide a brief break ☺️ Look after yourself! x
Citrus blossom is my fave scent after years of having a calamondin and lemon tree growing in my yard. Every time I step outside during blossom season and it wafts over with the breeze, it reminds me of spring!
Ohh sounds lovely! 🍋 x
I think the timing of this video is perfect Matilda! In a time where most of us are stuck inside, it’s great to think of good memories to escape this world and the sense of smell is the best way to remember them. They can transport us to a happier time. Thank you for always making amazing videos!
Thank you so much Juliette, really appreciate that! I'd been planning this video topic for a long time and it seemed like a perfect fit when this partnership opportunity came up several months ago. So much has changed since then, and scents have certainly become particularly important to help us feel calm and cosy in our homes or to bring back happy memories ☺️🌿 x
My absolute favorite scent is jasmine! This has been my favorite scent since I was a child and have always gravitated toward perfumes that heavily feature jasmine. But jasmine gained extra meaning when my husband and I went on our honeymoon to Paris and Rome in the Spring of 2018. Both cities had jasmine everywhere! We saw multi-story buildings and massive walls covered with it everywhere we went and the scent permeated the entire trip. Now we have a lovely jasmine bush in front of our house, so I smell that lovely scent every day.
Ohh what a lovely memory Shayna! I love jasmine too, it always reminds me of my family's garden where several walls are covered in it ☺️🌿 x
Lavender, rose, eculyptus, and melon are some of my favorite scents. God's nature is so beautiful and the wide range of scents He created awe me. Nature is beautiful.
Thanks for sharing! 🌹🌿 x
hi matilda ! i absolutely love watching your videos before going to sleep , i think it’s your accent that i love (😂) In fact i love your videos so much , that i finally gave in and yesterday i made my first purchase from glossier ( haloscope in moonstone and quartz , clear lip gloss & cloud paint in puff ) . i’ve been wanting to try the brand ever since watching you and seeing your glossier everyday makeup routine pushed me over the edge 😂 . can’t wait to finally have my own little piece of your minimalist makeup style !
Thank you so much Hannah! So nice to hear my videos feel relaxing for you ☺️ Hope you enjoy your new Glossier goodies! x
your video is always soothing and calming, I love it! fresh mint is my all time fav scent but lately I've been loving vanilla since it gives me warm and cozy feeling 😻
Thank you so much! So nice to hear that ☺️ x
omg I love your videos so much!! I’m in loveeee with glossier! I only have a couple things though. your such an inspiration 💕
Thank you MiaBella ☺️ x
As a kid I was once gifted a bottle of 'Ma Chérie Jeans' from the Brazilian brand 'O Boticário'. I spent the following decade wearing exclusively that scent, even when I moved away from Brazil I would beg anyone who came to visit to bring me a bottle. It's since been discontinued (much to my dismay) and I've searched high and low for dupes but none seem to be quite right. I still keep the empty bottle around, and smelling it reminds me of being a kid and living in Brazil :)
Hope you can track it down one day! ☺️ x
Matilda! I have watched many make up channels but the amount of knowledge I gained from your channel is massive. You have introduced me to a different range of products and I can't wait to try it out. Please keep making such content. Lots of love. ❤
Tina! This comment has absolutely made my day, if not my entire two and a half years of being on RUclips! Thank you so so much. I always hope people will learn something new here so I really appreciate it! ☺️👏 x
@@matildaonvideo Keep going! I can't wait to learn more. ❤
Rose is one of my favorite scents as well. I grow English Roses in my garden because I love them so much, and they just make my life so much better. I love going out first thing in the morning and smelling them. One of my strongest scent memories is wet dirt/sage brush. I used to spend part of every year at my aunt's house in Nevada, and there would sometimes be massive thunderstorms out in the desert. The wet dirt, hot asphalt and sage smell is so strong it's overpowering. Whenever I smell it again it brings me right back to my childhood.
Sounds beautiful! ☺️🌹 Thanks for sharing x
Lavender has been a comfort scent to me for such a long time. I remember growing up with a small pillow filled with lavender scented rice to help ease headaches and stomachaches which I had a lot of as a kiddo. Mint has been such a staple scent for me as well! I took so many baths in peppermint scented water. Growing up in the Midwest, I’ve noticed that the scent of Vernors ginger ale is such a nostalgic one for me too.
Thank you for sharing Vanessa! I love the sound of a peppermint bath ☺️ x
Dear Matilda this is one of my favoutite's videos! It really touched my heart. . . When talking about scents that bring us back memories of our childhood, or reminding our warmest relatives, or when being 18th, & so on!!! I do love this video. I think it's my top 1!!! How amazing mixing beauty, scents, nice & unforgettable memories! Thankssss! 😍😍🤗🤗🌹🌹🌿🌴🍉🍍🍋🍊🍐🍊🍇🍂🍁🍒🍓🌰🌻🌺🌼🍷🍭🍫
Thank you so much Toñi! Glad scents can bring back fond memories for you too ☺️👏 x
Thank you for the efforts you put in your videos for the aesthetics, Matilda. Love the fresh, real flower and leaves, so relaxing and beautiful ❤️💋
Thank you so much for this lovely feedback, can't tell you how much I appreciate it! ☺️🌸 x
I discovered your videos only a few days ago and I can’t stop watching them. The lighting, the editing, the calm and fresh feel of your videos is so welcoming. I love the way you open the bottles or roll up a deo. And I’m eager to try many of your products and makeup. I’m usually a bit hesitant to try out different skincare products and mostly stick to Bodyshop, Clinique and Lancome.
Apologies for the late reply Madhubani - thank you for this lovely comment! So glad you enjoy my video style ☺️👍 x
Matilda thank you for posting these vids, I love watching your calming yet entertaining videos, they get me through the morning Daily since my house is dead silent and music creeps me out if there is no other noise! I’m quite paranoid and you really ease that paranoia!
the way your nails match the necessaire body exfoliator! aesthetic goals! i also am a huuuuge fan of eucalyptus, and another scent i love so much is lavender!
Thank you so much! Such a perfect colour match 😄🌿 x
My scent memory is Daisy by Marc Jacobs. It was my mum's favourite scent when I was little. It was her signature for years. Nowadays I'm a bit sensitive to perfume scents because a lot of them are way too strong or sickeningly sweet for my taste but Daisy always brings me back to my childhood. She doesn't wear Daisy anymore but I do! The scent of Daisy, as well as jasmine flowers or jasmine scented products are my go to when I'm anxious or just want to relax. I don't usually take baths but watching your videos really makes me want a jasmine or Daisy scented bath product :)
Thanks for sharing Daisy! I love jasmine too, it always reminds me of my family's garden. Marc Jacobs Daisy was something I wore for years! You'll see it in my perfume video in future ☺️ x
The aesthetic of your videos is over the top girl! Sleek, beautiful, classy... Well done!!!! My favourite scents are white tea, orange blossom, cinnamon, vanilla, freesia, jasmine... I know some of these are very strong and some others so delicate. Love combining them. Especially in oils and use them in candles or massage.
Thank you so much Maria! 😄 Lovely scent choices x
my favorite scent is campfire smoke. i don’t know if i would like it in beauty products, but it smells like summer happiness to me.
Ooh such a nice smell Gillian! One of my favourite scents from nature is rain approaching ☺️🌧 x
every time Matilda says something along the lines of "regular viewers will know that i really like using x product"... I feel very proud as a viewer because I'm like "Yes! I do in fact know that you really enjoy that product."
wonderful video, Matilda.
very pleasant to watch as I procrastinate my computer science problem set.
thank you for taking the time to plan, film, and edit these videos!
Thank you so much, really appreciate you saying that! ☺️ Glad you always know what I'm talking about! Good luck with your studies x
This was sooo on time! It was a long workweek, and I knew this video was waiting for me. Matilda your videos are works of art-the backdrop of fresh flowers and eucalyptus literally transported me to a secret garden 💖💖 thank you.
Ohh thank you so much Tatevik! So lovely to hear ☺️🌿🌸 x
i absolute love watching your videos! your voice and aesthetic are very calming, perfect when i need to step away from life for a few minutes. have a lovely day!!
Thank you so much! Can't tell you how much this means. So glad my videos can provide a little escape! ☺️ x
Oh wow the visual of this video + your soothing voice is sooo therapeutic! I sniff on my eucalyptus, rose, and peppermint oil while watching this and it enhances the experience haha
Thank you so much Citra! Such lovely feedback. I'm glad you had your own smell-o-vision! 😄👏 x
A new upload yay! 🥰 I recently got into Necessaire thanks to you! I love all your recommendations, our preferences are so alike! 👌🏼
Thank you Fatihah, great to hear you're enjoying Nécessaire too! 💚 x
I've never had a sense of smell (congenital Anosmia), but!! a few years ago, I had a "revelation" xD that there are some sensations-- given by particular irritants (some flowers, etc.) -- that I can feel!! LOVE eucalyptus (even though I don't experience the honey part of it), peppermint, mint, jasmine, lavender, gardenia, fresh cashmere right out of the dryer, bergamot(Nest- Indigo perfume is amazing!), cypress, salt in a container (Lush Ocean Salt), but not the actual ocean lol, & hopefully more as I explore the world of perfume!!
Wow, how interesting! Glad you can still experience scents in your own way ☺️🌿 x
As a Portuguese, the one scent that will always get me is garlic and onion frying gently in olive oil. Obviously, that's not a smell I want in my cosmetics, though. But my grandmother always used this soap called Patti that smells mostly like cedar and other herbs, it's a nice smell but it just makes me think of old ladies. Rosewater has also been something that was always present in my home so that reminds me of my childhood too.
Yum, there's nothing like the smell of onion cooking! Now I'm hungry Mariana 😄 x
I can definitively say that Native deodorant works. I have given up on aluminum free deodorants because any brand that I tied in the past always failed. I came upon Native by chance and am totally hooked. It definitely works and they have fantastic scents. My 16 year old son is using it too! Recently my friend was visiting me from Chicago who just finished chemo and radiation to treat breast cancer - she told me that Native was the only deodorant she was allowed to use during the treatment. Matilda thank you for putting out another video - we all really need it now. I rewatched many of your previous videos too - they are so soothing during this difficult time!
Thank you so much Irina! Glad my videos can provide a nice distraction. Nice to hear Native is working well for you and your family too, and your friend. All the best for her recovery! ☺️ x
I’ve been using Native deodorant for a few months now. I love the lavender and rose one! The scent is so nice and the fact it’s cruelty free is a plus. Highly recommended!
So glad it's working well for you too Elizabeth! 😄👏 x
I used to work at a flower shop as well, miss it so much. It's daffodil season where I live right now. Some smaller varieties have an intoxicating smell!
Isn't it a nice environment Emma! ☺️🌸 Ohh you lucky thing, there's nothing like daffodils springing up everywhere. The change of seasons is so much more evident in the northern hemisphere x
I love this topic! Some of my favourite scented beauty products are the Tartelette in Bloom eyeshadow palette and the NYX and Fenty glosses (vanilla), the Glossier Balm Dot Com in Birthday Cake, the Soap and Glory Breakfast Body Scrub (maple syrup), the Lush Eau Roma toner (lavender and rose) and the Burt’s Bees lip balm in Pomegranate. When it comes to perfume I love Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir in Autumn and Winter and Jo Malone Peony and Blush Suede in Spring and Summer 😊
Thank you for sharing Hannah! 😄 I'm very keen to try Pomegranate Noir after it came up in my research for my Taylor Swift Makeup Bag video - it's one of the few Jo Malone scents I haven't smelt before! x
Just placed an order, so excited! And I'm soooo glad you talked about fragrance and scents; it's an absolute passion of mine. I love the time-travel effect of sniffing something, especially when it's unexpected, it feels like rediscovering part of yourself or your childhood. Having a signature scent really appeals to me, and I can totally see you as tying the knot with rose, but I love building my fragrance wardrobe too much to commit to just one scent. Getting ready in the morning and choosing which scent to wear always gives me the impression that I can actually build myself into the woman I want to be for the day. Job interview? Glossier You. Night out with friends? Widdringtonia layered with vanilla. Night in? By The Fireplace by Maison Margiela. Summer day out? Versace's Vanitas. I could go on, but I'd be geeking out again. Love you, thank you for this x
I love this Elise, thanks for sharing! 😄 Scents are definitely a form of time travel x
Thank you heaps for the Native tip. I started having issues with aluminum based antiperspirants about two years ago and a lot of standard deodorants make my underarms peel. I gave native a try once but was upset with the oil stains it was leaving on my work clothes. I gave it another go, applying sparingly as you recommend, and I’m smelling fresh or not smelling at all by the end of the day now. No more b.o., greased clothes, or peeling armpits!
Thank you so much for this Kierly, such wonderful feedback! 😄👏 Glad to hear a smaller amount is working well for you x
I am a teacher who has moved to the virtual classroom and spraying on my perfume in the morning just makes me feel more like myself. Lancôme La Vie est Belle is my scent.
Lavender however, is top of my list for nostalgic scents. My mom grows and dries lavender and always gives sachets as gifts. her house has little bunches of lavender in each room.
Also Magie Noir and Chanel No.5, which my mom ad grandma wore while i was growing up. I still have the tiny sample bottle of Chanel No. 5 my grandma kept on her dresser.
Thank you for sharing Hannah! Such lovely scent memories ☺️ Hope your new teaching routine is going well! x
I love Native - I’ve tried so many natural deodorants and this one REALLY works - using the Chai + Vanilla scent now. I really appreciate that they are constantly adding new scents. Thanks, Matilda, your videos are a really nice escape right now💕
Thank you so much, lovely to hear my videos can be a nice distraction! ☺️ Glad you're a Native fan too! x
My favourite scents are Orange and tuberose. I associate tuberose with my childhood memory of weddings. We use Tuberose and red rose garlands in our culture and I remember playing as a kid in weddings and the amazing scent of tuberose garlands. I have come to love that scent so much. More people need to try it out. I have tried Kim Kardashian's tuberose and jasmine perfume which smells good but not as good as fresh tuberose flowers.
I also love the taste and smell of fresh oranges. They have a delicious citrusy sweet smell. I have tried orange scents and essential oils but nothing comes close to freshly picked oranges.
Ohh the scent of fresh tuberose flowers is incredible! It was always one of my favourites to work with as a florist ☺️👏 x
I have to say that growing up in Greece my most loved scents are Jasmine and Lilac.In springtime when the wind blows through them you can smell them from far away!
Sounds like heaven! I love jasmine too 🌿 x
I enjoy floral scents so I would choose lavender rose pairings. I also really love the the smell of jasmine and gardenia.
Agreed! Both jasmine and gardenia will always remind me of my family's garden 🌿 x
Your nails matching the body exfoliator packaging gave me great satisfaction :’) another wonderful video! Thanks Matilda xx
Thank you so much Gina! Couldn't believe how good the colour match was 😄🌿 x
Your nail polish matching perfectly with the packaging ties in the whole video perfectly! I love your style! 💕
Thank you so much! 😄🌿 x
My favorites scents are lemon verbena, lime, rosemary, rose, and lavender. I love walking by rosemary plants; letting my hands pass through the leaves; and smelling the lingering oils on my fingers for hours.
Beautifully put Karen! I do the same with geranium leaves every single time I see them 😄🍃 x
I've used Native for about a year now and i'm obsessed. They make mini's too which i always keep in my workout bag and car
So glad you enjoy them too Kristen! I love the look of the minis 😍 x
I got a Glossier You sample. I bought a full size! I like how indescribable it is 🤷♀️ I think I've found my signature scent for the next 20 years! I wish I could have the solid too, great for travel.
My favourite deodorant is the Malin and Goetz eucalyptus, which came free with my Cult Beauty order.
Aesop ressurection hand sanitiser is great for after popping to the shop during self isolation, with a nice smell.
Jurlique rosewater balancing mist and By Terry baume de rose are great too!
Thank you sooo much for leading me to these great products!
I love *all* of the above! 😄👏 Malin+Goetz Eucalyptus was the first natural deodorant I started using last year, it was great too x
@@matildaonvideo Thanks for replying to my extra long paragraph!
I love all of the scents you mentioned, one of the reasons I love watching your videos as your picks always sit in the range of what I like. This is probably one of my favourite videos of yours as scent is super important to me and is kind of a make or break for me, it totally dictates my mood.
I have to agree with you on the eucalyptus, as a fellow Australian I think there is something so nostalgic about eucalyptus. Another favourite scent would be lavender as my mother would spray lavender onto my pillow as a baby and child growing up to help me sleep. My mother has always been into essentials oils as well, she has huge collection of them and I’m beginning to build my own. I love the Thursday Plantations Peppermint Oil, great for headaches, nausea and just a great overall pick me up. I love using it as my daily fragrance as well. I also love the Bosistos aroma mists, you’re supposed to just spray them into the air but I like to do a small spritz onto my clothes and I don’t know if you know of the meditation range but whenever I smell it it makes me think of my mother, so I have the body butter and balm!
Weird side note but I’ve been wanting to get a tattoo for a while now, my first one, and it’s a sort of botanical family crest. I picked different plants to represent my family, lavender for my mother, a snow gum tree stump for my father and three eucalyptus leaves for myself and my 2 siblings. The lavender is obvious but my father is really into woodworking, metalworking, blacksmithing and the like and as a child he would have me sit on a tree stump outside his workshop so I was safe and could watch him work. The 3 eucalyptus leaves represent all the times my siblings and I would play and have adventures and I can still smell the eucalyptus leaves from those hot summer days...
Wow, thank you so much for sharing these wonderful scent stories Isabella! Such a thoughtful and creative tattoo idea 👏🌿 x
i love native deodorant so much. it’s seriously the only natural deodorant that works for me. i’m so glad i made the switch to natural deodorant
Great to hear they work well for you too! 😄👏 Which scent do you use? x
Matilda so far i’ve used lavender and rose, as well as cucumber and mint. cucumber and mint is definitely my favorite though
My favourite scent is lavender,it's so calming but recently roses to have made the cut especially Jo Malone red roses bath and perfume ❤️❤️.
Glad you love Red Roses too! 🌹 x
My favourite scents are vanilla, coconut, mint and lemon. I also have a soft spot for the perfumes YSL Rive Gauche and Estée Lauder Youth Dew because they were the signature perfumes of each of my grandmothers and that is such a strong scent link.
Thanks for sharing Jessica! 🌿🍋 x
I have two types of Synesthesia and one is scent/sight so I loooove hearing people talking about their fave smells!
Wow, that's so cool Ali! I don't think I have synesthesia exactly, but I can certainly see specific places very clearly when I smell particular scents and products. All part of my scent memories ☺️🌿 x
I can't really say what's nostalgic since I'm only fourteen, turning fifteen next month, but I absolutely love florals. Not the sickly, clear plastic tablecloth and rough cloth couches that mess up the posture kind that are at Grandma's house, but something truly androgynous, despite how feminine florals are. I absolutely adore the British rose line from the body shop, and can't go a day without having Jaipur by Boucheron as my scent, it's a lovely balance between feminine jasmine and rose, and woody and spicy notes like cedar and cinnamon
Not at all, nostalgia is just a sense of longing for a previous time so there's no need to be old to feel that way! 😄🌹 Thanks for sharing x
My mom got this blueberry reed infuser as a birthday gift when I was in high school and it made the entire house smell like it for weeks. It was the time when I was really obsessed with a show and I would draw the entire day. I randomly remember it sometimes and miss it.
Sounds like a nice memory ☺️💙 x
my favourite scent is so obscure, but it’s the Hollister sprays because they remind me of my first year of secondary school, when my city were hosting the olympics and it was one of the best summers ever!
Haha I definitely get a hit of nostalgia whenever I smell that classic 'Abercrombie & Fitch store' scent too! 😂 x
I love minty scents because it makes me feel relax and helps me to get a good sleep.
Very true! It's relaxing ☺️🌿 x
For me I think my biggest scent memories are associated with either vanilla or eucalyptus! Vanilla reminds me of baking with my mother, and eucalyptus reminds me of the bath oil my mom would let me and my sister use if we'd just gotten better from a flu or a cold, and she'd make us have baths to relax a bit. Both are very happy memories :)
Ohh they do sound like such happy memories! Thank you for sharing ☺️ x
Lavender, rose, rosemary and wisteria are all sentimental for me because I grew up with them in the garden :)
When I was little I have a vague memory attaching my mum's friend to this little ceramic pot with a cork in the top that always smelled of something fragrant. Then a couple years ago working in a cosmetics shop I smelled a new Juniper body wash and instantly thought of that pot and realised it must be juniper which is nostalgic to me.
And I was given a small bottle of Revlon Pink Happiness perfume when I was a teenager. Because it was travel-sized and slim, I took it and used it for the first time on National Youth Science Forum which was a 12-day trip interstate before Year 12, which I still look on as the start of the rest of my life, it was life-changing and amazing and the Post-NYSF-Depression was real. Later that year I took that bottle of perfume on Year 12 Retreat and when I smelled it on myself on the first day of that retreat I damn nearly cried from how strong and longed-for the memory of NYSF was.
These memories remind me of the movie Anastasia when she is reunited with her grandmother and she smells peppermint as she walks past, and recalls a memory that only she and her grandmother could have known :)
Thank you so much Zosia! I *LOVE* that you referenced Anastasia, I was honestly thinking of her and her grandmother's peppermint oil the whole time I made this video 😂👏 Thanks for sharing your scent memories! x
i just got a deodorant ad before this video! another great video as always matilda
Thank you! I don't have any control over which ads play but that worked out well! 😄 x
The way you describe these scents is amazing! Also, for some reason your videos are so calming to me! Keep it up! :)
Thank you so much Naiya! ☺️🌹 x
Thanks for recommending the native deodorant ❤️this is the first one without aluminium and alcohol i tried that really works and smells great ( and not so overpowering )
Thank you so much for sharing! Lovely to hear it's working well for you too 😄👏 x
I’ve been using the Native body wash in Citrus and Musk for a few months now and it’s so good! Leaves me feeling squeaky clean and smelling so good
Someone else mentioned their body washes, I'd love to try them! 👏 x
I really love that they don’t add any dyes and all the ingredients are readable! x
Hi there, a new subscriber here! I really love the format of your videos, it’s so clean and fresh. I’m also a eucalyptus and mint kind of girl too here! I’m more into eucalyptus as it’s so refreshing and familiar too-and also a bit masculine in scent, not a fan of overly floral scents. Back home in Indonesia we grew up slathering eucalyptus rubbing oil on our chest and stomach when we have cold symptoms, bloating or tummy ache. It’s so comforting. I love Dr. Bronner’s Eucalyptus castille soap. I use it as both body wash and hand wash. So lush.
Thank you so much, nice to have you here! 😄 Glad you're a fan of eucalyptus too x
Another calming video, love talking and hearing about scents, there's something really comforting and uplifting about smelling a nice scent or putting on perfume. I personally love fig scents, as well as scents containing amber because it has this "warm" aspect to it. I hear about Native deodorants so often, I'll wait until the quarantine is over to order one, their scent range is quite impressive, I'm curious about the vanilla and coconut one or the mint cucumber you mentioned. Have a lovely day
Thank you! Nice to hear you find them comforting, and uplifting is a perfect word for their power too ☺️👏 x
😮 As someone who’s started paying attention to fragrances and getting into perfume, I already know that this video is going to become a favourite. I love the Aēsop rejuvenate intensive balm and a rose by any other name body cleanser, to me they have such a ‘comfort in the wintertime’ vibe.
Thank you! Love some of Aesop's scents 👏 x
My partner got me the Jo Malone Rose and White Musk Absolute for Christmas this year, it's the most intoxicating rose scent!
Ohh that sounds lovely Jonathan! I'll have to keep an eye out for that 🌹 x
Matilda it’s definitely an evening scent for me, perfect for nights out and evenings in!
Every now and then I stop at drugstore to sniff some basic Nivea Visage face wash (the blue one). Some old edition of it was the first face wash my mum ever bought me when puberty started kicking in - till this day this scent makes me feel instantly more like adult :D
Ohh what a nice memory! Glad you can still find it 👍 x
Ah, Matilda you’re just the best and make some of my absolute favourite content on youtube. (I’m also very proud your an Aussie!) Thanks for all your lovely videos.
Thank you so much Gillian, you've made my day! ☺️ So kind of you x
I grew up with Strawberry Shortcake little plastic figurines. Strawberry Shortcake had such a distinct strawberry kids bath soap smell that whenever I smell it I think of her. There’s also a orange and rosemary lotion my grandmother used that has been one of my favorite scents as well. It’s strange to think that such random childhood smells could live that much of an imprint on our memories.
Thank you for sharing! Scent memories can certainly be very strong ☺️🍓 x
This was especially beautiful video with all those plants appearing! 😊💕 I love rose scent most... my current perfume is Rose de Chloé, which I made a video about. By the way, you pronounced Kneipp correctly!!
Thank you so much! 😄🌹 Glad you enjoy rose too x
the most nostalgic smells for me would probably be artificial strawberry and petroleum jelly lol. my favorite dolls were actually scented like strawberry and whenever someone uses the smith's strawberry lip balm I remember playing with my dolls. and petroleum jelly or vaseline is particularly nostalgic for me because every time I was done in the bath or shower I covered myself in a layer of it to protect my eczematous skin. i switched products when I was around 11 and now vaseline reminds me of listening to old pop songs on the radio after a shower. i think my favorite used to be hot n cold by katy perry bc I have an old video of me singing it.
Haha what a fun memory Sophia, thanks for sharing! 😄🎶 x
My mum always used to wear Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea perfume and I never not think of her when I smell it. While listening to your video I went to go grab my eucalyptus and lavender oils for my diffuser :D I only used to associate eucalyptus with the lozenges you get for when you're sick, but you've definitely changed my mind about that !
Ohh that sounds so nice! 🌿💜 x
I love things that remind me of the smell of the Australian bush after it rains. Especially in the shower. My favourite is Salus eucalyptus and rosemary purifying body scrub. It is an Australian brand I think and it is a bamboo and pumice scrub. I just love the smell of it.
Nothing like the smell of rain Telissa! 💙 I've used a few Salus products before, they're lovely x
Your videos and Violets_fr have made me really want to try necessaire. Love the content
Jasmine, lilac, eucalyptus, lime and lemon are my favorite scents!
Yum, lovely picks Sarah! 👏 x
I wear Jo Malone red roses for 3 years now! Not everyday though, sometimes wear it after midnight shower or switching up with Penhaligon's Elizabethan rose (I believe they discontinued it). I just love roses! 🌹
Glad you love it too! 🌹 x
What a lovely video! I really have been enjoying your unique aesthetic and intresting opinions on products. Very excited for your upcoming fragrance timeline video!
Thank you so much, really appreciate this! ☺️ x
I think a scent I associate with my childhood is definitely honeysuckle, it would bloomed in the spring and there were bushes on the way to school that I always smelled, so I’ve loved the scent but I don’t find it in body lotions/soaps or perfumes that often. But I love the scent of rose, my mom grew great big roses bushes in front of our house for as long as I could remember.
Sounds lovely, thanks for sharing! ☺️ x
Glossier you gives me flashbacks to my freshman year of college. I got a little sample with one of my orders and wore it everyday until it ran out. Honestly, I don’t like the scent anymore, it’s too “mall-y” for me but whenever I smell it on anyone else it seriously takes me back!
Nice that you have that memory attached to it Nathalie! It always reminds me of New York, you can't go anywhere without smelling someone wearing it 😂 x
Matilda I go to college in New York do it makes sense!!
Red roses is my favorite scent at the moment. It reminds me so much of Turkish delight for some reason and that's just such a happy place!
Absolutely! Rosewater, Turkish Delight, real roses, I love it all! 🌹 x
Rose, bay leaf, sugar, lemons, coconut, and ink are my childhood scents. Both my mom and grandmother were pastry chefs so most of those scents were from the things they concocted. The ink is all my dad. Also bay leaf because of the splash he used. He was a calligrapher, among other things.
This is just beautiful Anaisa, thank you for sharing! Such special scent memories 🌿 x
I just bought the Native body wash and a deodorant last week! They have a cypress and ginger scent that's divine. However, I love the eucalyptus body wash for nighttime, it's very soothing and the scent is so unique! Thanks Matilda for the code!
Ooh I'd love to try their body washes! Glad you're enjoying the brand too Rashmi 🌿 x
i love rose and geranium scents and you drove me to try a eucalyptus bath soak - that really is the perfect fresh/green scent!
So nice nice to hear Jordan! Enjoy those baths ☺️🌿 x
I’ve been wanting to try Native deodorant, so thanks for the code! And I just ordered Necessaire Sandalwood body wash but haven’t tried it yet. I was just telling my girls about how I used to walk over to my great-aunt’s house after school to take a bath in her claw foot tub and use her lavender fragrance - such a wonderful memory.
Ohh what a lovely memory Val! 💜 Hope you enjoy your new goodies x
