I think giving us some articulate negative reviews and roasts makes you more legitimate, and focuses me on which ones to try or skip. Obviously we all don’t share the same tastes in fragrance, but as I get to know your tastes and likes, I trust when you are honest.
@@ThePerfumeNest oh I'm familiar with that scent too! I have 2 boys and lemme tell ya, I'm not a fan of that scent! Ps 3 brothers! I hope you had at least one sister!
I'm going to have to agree about Vanilla Sex. Even the opening is a cheap benzaldeyde concoction worthy of B&BW. Honestly not a surprise, so there really was no disappointment. Also got to try the new NR Vetiver Musc and it STRONGLY reminded me of something I already smelled before. Another cypressy vetiveryl acetate woody amber heavy on the geraniol. Not even a like. Thank you for your take on Penguin!! 🐧 And glad the new Initio was a hit for you. 💜
I hate 99% of the perfumes I smell, so this video was super relatable😂😂. I do want to try that masculine perfume. For some reason, masculine scents work much better with my body chemistry and I prefer those scents to the feminine sweet, floral, candy ones. Excellent video!
Hi Chris! 😊❤I love these brutally honest and funny videos.. you have not steered me wrong with fragrance..so I am thankful to know the good, bad and ugly as well as the great, beautiful, addicting and yummy! Thanks for another good one that helped me spend wisely! 😊
You're review of Nanatopia cracked me up, but I actually really like that fragrance! I only get banana bread briefly in the opening, then it's a spicy, woody scent on me that's warm and cozy. No musty gym clothes or shoe dirt on me. 🤣🤣🤣
Hi Chris, love the reviews of the new releases . I hate that I don’t get to smell my fragrances on others. Your co workers are awesome! Lucky Candy is misleading with the notes but I love it💜
Hi Chris🌹 Absolutely nothing wrong with the roast. I generally run from channels that describe everything as great. I'm in the habit of reading all posts too. I want honest opinions. One subbie here, said, she hated 99% of fragrances she's tried, ME TOO. It's really challenging, and it's always been that way for me.🤦🤷 Francine
Okay your top is gorgeous Chris love the red! And you are hilarious. As soon as I heard the name of that TF scent I also rolled my eyes.

Hi Chris! Great video! I’ll be on the look out for when the new Miss Dior hits Sephora! I don’t own any of them right now and the combination of strawberry, peony and patchouli sounds promising.
"Stale banana bread in a boys' locker room" was the best description, LOL! I once said a perfume had undertones of "monkey house at the zoo" and it was true! Yikes that was bad! I had a scrubber recently that has had great reviews, Barrakat Satin Oud. I just can't get past the first nasty notes and that darn thing will last 12 hours! Why do the stinky ones last the longest, why?? (if I insulted someone's love, I'm sorry, but my nose hates that one) Gosh, Amore Cafe sounds heavenly though do have a few coffee fragrances already. Have a great week, Chris. ~Cynthia
@fumeNestIt was baaaad! It was actually a La Rive dupe for something, that's all I remember...except for the smell. I had not been to a zoo since I took my very young sons (in their 40's now), but I was zapped right back to that time when I smelled that awful stuff.
I would love to see. Review on Estée Lauder Youth Dew. I know! Don’t laugh! I have worn it ever since I was 30 years old and now I am 72 and still in love.

Hey, Chris! I'm with you on the name of the new TF perfume. TF trying to be shocking is so stupid. I'm also annoyed with "gasm" on makeup and perfume, such as with the new Kayali ones. Charlotte Tilbury won't stop with the "gasm," either, and it's all so overdone at this point. Anyway, I also am finished with buying cherry perfumes. I have a few and they all smell too similar, so I will wear them and enjoy them and I will not buy anymore cherry perfumes. I worry the oversaturation in the market of notes like cherry is going to make me tired of certain notes more quickly, though I never seem to tire of vanillas.
I’m with you. In fact, if it has the name “gasm” in it….I’m not even interested anymore. Yawn. Which is great because CT has fantastic makeup….Ill save my coins. 😂
I was already lol at the preview comments...TF VS, #imdead😂 So...the comments I'm seeing in the fraghead group I'm in are similar and hilarious- a public bathroom with vanilla in the background, bad playdoh with rancid vanilla, throw up soaked cheap leather seats...

After your rave review of Nanatopia I immediately went online and ordered it! lol 😂 I’ve been wearing Narcotic Delight almost daily since I got it. Leans a bit feminine to me too and definitely has that Initio DNA.
Hi Chris I agree with you about the TF name Vanilla Sox being a sales gimmick.😂 I am also wondering if the new Dior Parfum has a popcorn note? I've heard that Cherie did used to have a popcorn note. Cheers Linda 😊❤
Hello Chris! 🤣🤣🤣I could not stop laughing at your funny roasting on these fragrances. And I do agree with most of them. TF VS did not change on my skin, I really love the juice but will never buy it for the price point and the name, both of which already make me wanna vomit, even without the roasting 🤣. Really really enjoyed this video, thank you!♥️♥️♥️
Hi Chris! 🤗 let’s agree to disagree, right! I have all the Ms.Dior flankers and still want to buy the new Ms.Dior coz why not!🤭 I tried all the Black Opium flankers and I only love the Neon flanker because of the dragonfruit note! Thanks for the good funny content! Stay blessed!
Hi Chirs😍, home sick and today is the first day in a week I could tolerate perfume and I happened to spray my decant of Narcotic Delight 🥰, imo this scent is feminine, normally tobacco is on my danger list of notes and usually leans masculine but not this one , ppl have said this isn't strong but I think it could have been cloying if it was much stronger
Oh my word, that was fun! 😄 I smelled Lucky Candy yesterday at the shop and the SA said it reminded her of something she wore when she was 13. I know the Barbie craze has abated, but this would have been the perfect scratch n' sniff scent for the Barbie film. I also bought a couple frags yesterday and one was Amore Caffe. 🙂 Great video, Chris! It wasn't too harsh...just your honest opinion.
Vanilla Sex..I was one of those people who couldn’t wait to smell it. First sniff- good! Second sniff- exactly that staleness you were talking about. I wore my sample yesterday- better this time but there are so many better vanillas out there that I would never bother for the price.
Did you wait for the dry down??!!! 😆It doesn’t get better. Oh wait I remember you telling me you hated it! 🤣you must have kept trying with that one. For 400$? Nope. You don’t get second chances with me. I should say third chances.
Chris thank you so much for all your helpful information. I was able to get samples of Narcotic Delight and Amore Cafe from ZGO perfumery. Appreciate you and all you do!!! Have a blessed week:)
Hi Chris! 😂😂😂😂 This was delightfully hilarious!! I can’t think of anything I’d like to smell LESS like than an unshowered, rancid, spoiled piece of banana bread….or a gym sock!!!!😂😂😂 I did buy Miss Dior 😊 I don’t have any other Miss Dior flankers. Just a small (tiny!) bottle of the current version of the OG. It was a birthday gift from Sephora. The new parfum is wonderful! And I get at least 6 hours of wear, which seems to be more than the general consensus, so far. I’m so happy I bought it! This was a great video!💛💛
Aw thank you! 🤣🙏🏻❤️Glad you enjoyed! Miss Dior Parfum is definitely the best of all flankers combined into one. You waited to get the best. Nice job!!❤️
I agree! It’s kind of the best of all of them. But having the others….i felt they were too close. But yes Le Parfum is so pretty! Job well done Frances!
love honest reviews and I appreciate your video for that so much! As to Tom Form Vanilla Sex - fully agree. Not a fan of it but also I have a feeling they just let go somehow in terms of originality and quality for some time now. Like in my opinion their last great one was Tobacco Vanille. On the Miss Dior: could you say something more about longevity and projection, please? Sparkling Bouquet was pleasant perfum but evaporated from my skin in like 30 minutes. Total waste of money. And I absolutely Love Penguin! Will make a use of it in the summer :-).
Hey there!!! I would say longevity is moderate; not beast mode , not a whisper. And that is so exciting you have tried (and love) Penguin! I’m going to give it to Pat for his Bday (early June). It will be perfect.
This was such a fun video, I wonder if Tom Ford's Vanilla S** has that B.O. smell on purpose, even if it does that sounds not very appealing lol. Hope you have a wonderful week
lol! Thank you! Apparently it’s supposed to captured the post coital POV? 🤦♀️That’s what a subscriber told me (she writes for a perfume blog). Let’s just say the ppl didn’t shower before the hanky panky. 😂
Zoologist Penguin has really piqued my interest. It sounds really unique. Amore Cafe sounds so good as well, I’ll definitely have to sample that one 😍 I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts on these ❤
Hey there!!!! I just watched your recent video!!! Hope your nose gets better soon and you can smell normally again! So glad that hasn’t happened to me!! Knock on wood!!🙏🏻
Oh my word,, did I hear anything after Nanatopia, I’m literally dead😂😂. I absolutely love honest opinions, that’s what keeps me coming back for more👌👌 Stay gorgeous🥰🥰
I agree, I expected something completely different for Lucky Candy and not for it to smell like vague florals (not even tropical floral to me), citrusy, and faint. And yeah for TF VS there's a hint of vomit mixed with the vanilla, almond, playdoh Hypnotic Poison EDT profile. That's just what I get.
You are definitely right about TFVS Chris. When i smelt it a while back i thought what are these people talking about. to me it smells so basic that even BBW vanilla bean noel smells a lot better lol. My first impression was like “this is fraud” for the ridiculous price they’re asking imho and i couldn’t agree more. I like the Black opium le parfum better than the over red. Nothing much changed except they put a little cherry.
You're the second person I've heard who described Nanatopia as "gym socks". I still want to try it as I'm curious about the banana with a woody dry down. I also want to try Banana bread banshee by Hez Parfums
No way!! 😂😂Who else said that!!! I must be friends with them!!! 😂😂 they also must have 3 brothers and a son (like myself) and be very familiar with that aroma. 😉I’ve heard that Banana Banshee is delicious.
@ThePerfumeNest I can't remember where I heard it. I watch like 5 fragrance videos a day, every day, & my RUclips watched list only goes back like a dozen videos 🤣
I really disliked the new Sol de Janeiro body spray. My daughter described it as a cheesecake that had been sitting out too long 😅 Zoologist scents are so polarizing. I only own Harvest Mouse, but I’m really excited for the Rabbit release!
Chris, I love Narcotic Delight as well. I blind bought it after The Perfume Guy was talking about it in one of his upcoming new releases video.. I am glad it was a successful purchase. It would have sucked to spend almost 400 on juice that I end up hating.
Chris I totally agree! 🤣 The name Vanilla Sex is such an eye-roll obvious stunt. Lazy. I agree, it’s probably the musks going for that 70s coitus-body thing. This is such a fun video! 😀❤️
I love this video so much I just had to watch it again! And part of the reason was I had a question for you about Apple perfumes. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems to me you did a full video about apple/apple pie smelling perfumes and I’m darned if I can find it. I bought Kay Ali Apple perfume recently and it’s become a total addiction for me, whether it’s from craving spring or what I don’t know, but I need more apple in my life! Can you point me to your video or perhaps give me the names of a few more apple scents I can check out? I’m just burning my way through this bottle of Kay Ali !!
I sure did! The video is called, “Smell like a Delicious Pie”. If you go to my home page under videos, it’s been within a few months. ❤️and thank you!!
Really enjoyed your candid takes on these new releases!!!🤣 Loving banana notes at the moment and I got a kick out of your Nanatopia experience! I was also disappointed in it, not quite as bad as you, but I also got a powerful earthy woody note, I think it must be the cypriol oil/nagarmotha they used that I wasn't jiving with, because I usually love damp, complex patchoulis like Serge Lutens Borneo 1834 & Coromandel! I just wish I got way more of the gourmand notes like the banana, bread and tonka! For banana bread, have you tried Haus of Gloi "Fancy Bread" (from their Yule collection)? It smells exactly like real warm, banana bread straight out of the oven to me! I want to get it in body products next time, highly rec if you haven't tried it!
Oh my gosh that sounds delish!!! I was obsessed with banana last year. I actually have several perfumes with a banana vibe but the one you mentioned sounds divine! I will def be looking into it.
Thank you Chris for the great video . Narcotic Delight , Sugar Kiss is the love for me . I’m curious about Miss Dior , Lucky Candy , Amore Cafe . Janeiro59 is very boring and flat . You look amazing❤❤❤
Hi Chris! I love when you review all the new releases and completely honest if they aren’t good and really bad, it saves me so much money I can’t thank you enough! Also your top is stunning where did you find it?❤️❤️
This has been the most fun!! ❤ Wow I have a sample of Narcotic Delight coming in an order... ordered it on Feb 11th... I just tracked it and so far it has only made it to Chicago!! 😫😩😣 and it started in Kansas.. I think a turtle is delivering it! 🐢😂😂
Interesting descriptions. The only one I loved from these new releases was the Black Opium Over Red and I do not like the original Black Opium at all! My favorite flanker is Le Parfum. The best Vanilla fragrance!
If we don't initially like a fragrance, should we try it again? I liked Penhaligon's Yasmine when I first sprayed it and it was fine. After showering, I used a few sprays, and decided I didn't like it. It seemed more like an air freshener. When I woke up in the morning, I liked it again, but had to touch my wrist to my nose in order to smell it. This fragrance has me more confused than any other fragrance. I can't decide if it's full bottle worthy even though everyone likes it. I suffer from FOMO.
Honestly I really don’t unless I blind bought it and I’m going to lose a lot of money selling it; I’ll try it a few times more. If it’s a sample? Nope. I’m usually done at that point. ❤️
I also think that if we don't like it from the start, others who smell it on us may not like it either, even if we've grown to love it. @@ThePerfumeNest
Vanilla Sex was boring. I am not a fan of Miss Dior, but am thrilled that Francis is taking over the fragrances. That Montale is surprising with the name that it is so floral. Won't be trying Nanatopia (it wasn't on my radar anyways). Not interested in a coffee fragrance now that the weather is changing to spring. I smelled Narcotic Delight on a test strip, wish I had tried on skin now. I had Musk Therapy on my mind because I had just bought Rania J Musc Moschino and people told me they were similar. Musc Moschino was 100% better than Musk Therapy so that made me happy I had made the right choice. I work with a 3rd grader who when someone uses the work "Hate" she says that's a bad word and looks horrified. Love your outfit!!
I was laughing at your Nanotopia trauma. Sorry. But that was a fantastic cold opening. 😂I was considering Nanatopia! Oh well.... at least you got an entertaining story out of the whole ordeal, right? I only own one borntostandout:Sugar Addict. Which is fantastic. Sweet, warm, cozy. I just ordered a sample of Sugar Kisses.. That sounds yummy!
Omg! I LOVE Sugar Addict!!!!!! That was a huge love and one I tested at work with my friend! We were all swooning!!! Def getting a larger size (maybe 9ml)
@@ThePerfumeNest I went through a sample. Then a decant. And then opted for a bottle. And it has a decent sized dent in it. Sugar Addict is referred to as a "fragrance sweetener". Which sounds like marketing BS. I mean, couldn't any sweet fragrance suitable for layering be a "sweetener"? 🙄
Smelled TFVS during the holidays and thought it was really yummy at first, then dried down to a super plasticky sweet almond. In fact, when people say a fragrance gives them the nostalgic doll smell, I didn’t know what they meant. It’s this. Thankfully didn’t get a dirty smell on my skin but I am not interested at all. I did get a decant of TF Vanille Fatale and it smelled a-ma-zing on my husband.
I am very interested in Pazzaglia perfumes, since I first heard about them from you about a cherry heavy frag from them. I just wish I could get to sniff them somewhere 😒
@@ThePerfumeNest Europe, Latvia. Many sites have a lot of countries on their shipping list, but not Latvia or Lithuania. And neither Spain, which is weird (my dad lives there).
I'm so glad none of my fragrances made this video, except for my cherosia 59, which wasn't roasted too badly😂....very informative as usual, and I agree with your thoughts on vanilla sex thumbs down.
I so agree with you the name Vanilla Sex is absolutely stupid & now that you’ve said it turns rancid after an hour I’m not the least bit interested in trying it! Too overpriced as well!

Don't worry Chris, it is a great video and your honest review. That is what is needed, considering the price hikes in fragrances.
Nothing wrong with roasting. It’s your opinion. You’re not going to love everything.

After your rave review of Nanatopia I immediately went online and ordered it! lol 😂 I’ve been wearing Narcotic Delight almost daily since I got it. Leans a bit feminine to me too and definitely has that Initio DNA.
Omg! The full bottle??!! 😂Clearly it’s my horrible skin! I must have been wearing old clothes! 😂
@@ThePerfumeNest No, no, no, I was kidding!!!
😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love love love this video. Let’s keep it all the way real! Happy Sunday beautiful xoxo🤎
Thank you! You too! 🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰
Lmao banana bread they fell out of a lunch bag mixed with dirty socks & boys locker room 😂YUM-can’t wait to sample!😂😂😂
Omg!!🤣
Hi Chris I agree with you about the TF name Vanilla Sox being a sales gimmick.😂
I am also wondering if the new Dior Parfum has a popcorn note? I've heard that Cherie did used to have a popcorn note. Cheers Linda 😊❤
I don’t think so! And now that you mention it…I think I vaguely remember Cherie having a popcorn note!! Nice memory!!!
Hello Chris! 🤣🤣🤣I could not stop laughing at your funny roasting on these fragrances. And I do agree with most of them. TF VS did not change on my skin, I really love the juice but will never buy it for the price point and the name, both of which already make me wanna vomit, even without the roasting 🤣.
Really really enjoyed this video, thank you!♥️♥️♥️
Glad you enjoyed 🙌❤️❤️❤️
I love this kind of videos from you ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you. 🥰🥰
Hi Chris! 🤗 let’s agree to disagree, right! I have all the Ms.Dior flankers and still want to buy the new Ms.Dior coz why not!🤭 I tried all the Black Opium flankers and I only love the Neon flanker because of the dragonfruit note! Thanks for the good funny content! Stay blessed!
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Dua has a Cherry Tabacum 🍒 which I really enjoy. Sort of a cherry pie 🥧
Oh nice!❤️
Hi Chirs😍, home sick and today is the first day in a week I could tolerate perfume and I happened to spray my decant of Narcotic Delight 🥰, imo this scent is feminine, normally tobacco is on my danger list of notes and usually leans masculine but not this one , ppl have said this isn't strong but I think it could have been cloying if it was much stronger
I absolutely agree with you. Hopefully you are feeling 100%❤️
@@ThePerfumeNest Thank you Chris 💕, much better ❣❣
Oh my word, that was fun! 😄 I smelled Lucky Candy yesterday at the shop and the SA said it reminded her of something she wore when she was 13. I know the Barbie craze has abated, but this would have been the perfect scratch n' sniff scent for the Barbie film. I also bought a couple frags yesterday and one was Amore Caffe. 🙂 Great video, Chris! It wasn't too harsh...just your honest opinion.
Aw thank you!!! Amore Cafe was def one of the best releases of late!!
Vanilla Sex..I was one of those people who couldn’t wait to smell it. First sniff- good! Second sniff- exactly that staleness you were talking about. I wore my sample yesterday- better this time but there are so many better vanillas out there that I would never bother for the price.
Did you wait for the dry down??!!! 😆It doesn’t get better. Oh wait I remember you telling me you hated it! 🤣you must have kept trying with that one. For 400$? Nope. You don’t get second chances with me. I should say third chances.
Chris thank you so much for all your helpful information. I was able to get samples of Narcotic Delight and Amore Cafe from ZGO perfumery. Appreciate you and all you do!!! Have a blessed week:)
Yay!! That’s great! Yes they have been a sample staple for me for years!!!
I’m only :30 seconds in but you already have me giggling 🤭. Now back to the actual reviews … cheers!
Ah yay! I know done ppl will get upset with me! 🤣❤️
Hi Chris!
😂😂😂😂
This was delightfully hilarious!!
I can’t think of anything I’d like to smell LESS like than an unshowered, rancid, spoiled piece of banana bread….or a gym sock!!!!😂😂😂
I did buy Miss Dior 😊 I don’t have any other Miss Dior flankers. Just a small (tiny!) bottle of the current version of the OG. It was a birthday gift from Sephora. The new parfum is wonderful! And I get at least 6 hours of wear, which seems to be more than the general consensus, so far. I’m so happy I bought it!
This was a great video!💛💛
Aw thank you! 🤣🙏🏻❤️Glad you enjoyed! Miss Dior Parfum is definitely the best of all flankers combined into one. You waited to get the best. Nice job!!❤️
I love the new Miss Dior parfum it’s prettier than both blooming and eu deparfum it’s just gorgeous
I agree! It’s kind of the best of all of them. But having the others….i felt they were too close. But yes Le Parfum is so pretty! Job well done Frances!
love honest reviews and I appreciate your video for that so much! As to Tom Form Vanilla Sex - fully agree. Not a fan of it but also I have a feeling they just let go somehow in terms of originality and quality for some time now. Like in my opinion their last great one was Tobacco Vanille. On the Miss Dior: could you say something more about longevity and projection, please? Sparkling Bouquet was pleasant perfum but evaporated from my skin in like 30 minutes. Total waste of money. And I absolutely Love Penguin! Will make a use of it in the summer :-).
Hey there!!! I would say longevity is moderate; not beast mode , not a whisper. And that is so exciting you have tried (and love) Penguin! I’m going to give it to Pat for his Bday (early June). It will be perfect.
I personally think this was a mild roast and I think most were spot on.
Thank you Faith. 😂
This was such a fun video, I wonder if Tom Ford's Vanilla S** has that B.O. smell on purpose, even if it does that sounds not very appealing lol. Hope you have a wonderful week
lol! Thank you! Apparently it’s supposed to captured the post coital POV? 🤦♀️That’s what a subscriber told me (she writes for a perfume blog). Let’s just say the ppl didn’t shower before the hanky panky. 😂
Zoologist Penguin has really piqued my interest. It sounds really unique. Amore Cafe sounds so good as well, I’ll definitely have to sample that one 😍 I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts on these ❤
Hey there!!!! I just watched your recent video!!! Hope your nose gets better soon and you can smell normally again! So glad that hasn’t happened to me!! Knock on wood!!🙏🏻
@@ThePerfumeNest Thanks so much! It’s getting much better now but it’s been pretty grim 😔
Oh my word,, did I hear anything after Nanatopia, I’m literally dead😂😂. I absolutely love honest opinions, that’s what keeps me coming back for more👌👌
Stay gorgeous🥰🥰
😂😂❤️❤️❤️
I agree, I expected something completely different for Lucky Candy and not for it to smell like vague florals (not even tropical floral to me), citrusy, and faint. And yeah for TF VS there's a hint of vomit mixed with the vanilla, almond, playdoh Hypnotic Poison EDT profile. That's just what I get.
Vomit and vanilla!! 🤣😜🤢
I agree with you a 100% on all of the new fragrances 😢 very happy I didn’t love them. Love your channel
Thanks for watching! So we are scent twins then??😉❤️
You are definitely right about TFVS Chris. When i smelt it a while back i thought what are these people talking about. to me it smells so basic that even BBW vanilla bean noel smells a lot better lol. My first impression was like “this is fraud” for the ridiculous price they’re asking imho and i couldn’t agree more. I like the Black opium le parfum better than the over red. Nothing much changed except they put a little cherry.
Ah! Looks like we are scent twins!!🙌and I love Vanilla Bean Noel! 👏🏻❤️❤️😂
You're the second person I've heard who described Nanatopia as "gym socks". I still want to try it as I'm curious about the banana with a woody dry down. I also want to try Banana bread banshee by Hez Parfums
No way!! 😂😂Who else said that!!! I must be friends with them!!! 😂😂 they also must have 3 brothers and a son (like myself) and be very familiar with that aroma. 😉I’ve heard that Banana Banshee is delicious.
@ThePerfumeNest I can't remember where I heard it. I watch like 5 fragrance videos a day, every day, & my RUclips watched list only goes back like a dozen videos 🤣
Well let me know if you remember! I must know that person! 😂
I really disliked the new Sol de Janeiro body spray. My daughter described it as a cheesecake that had been sitting out too long 😅 Zoologist scents are so polarizing. I only own Harvest Mouse, but I’m really excited for the Rabbit release!
Omg!!! Stale cheesecake!😂 I’m the same…the only Zoologist I own is Harvest Mouse as well. Can’t wait for Rabbit!!🐇
Chris, I love Narcotic Delight as well. I blind bought it after The Perfume Guy was talking about it in one of his upcoming new releases video.. I am glad it was a successful purchase. It would have sucked to spend almost 400 on juice that I end up hating.
Girl!! You blind bought that! Holy Moly that was an expensive blind buy!! Glad it worked out!!
Chris I totally agree! 🤣 The name Vanilla Sex is such an eye-roll obvious stunt. Lazy. I agree, it’s probably the musks going for that 70s coitus-body thing. This is such a fun video! 😀❤️
Yes! Zoologist Penguin is fabulous! I do think it would smell great on a man, too!
I wore Penguin again after filming this video and I’d wear it also ! Something about it I kept smelling my arm!! ❤️
Oh my word. Well if that means ppl in the 70s didn’t bathe before hanky panky…..they nailed it. 🤣
@@ThePerfumeNest 😂🤣
🤣
I love this video so much I just had to watch it again! And part of the reason was I had a question for you about Apple perfumes. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems to me you did a full video about apple/apple pie smelling perfumes and I’m darned if I can find it. I bought Kay Ali Apple perfume recently and it’s become a total addiction for me, whether it’s from craving spring or what I don’t know, but I need more apple in my life! Can you point me to your video or perhaps give me the names of a few more apple scents I can check out? I’m just burning my way through this bottle of Kay Ali !!
I sure did! The video is called, “Smell like a Delicious Pie”. If you go to my home page under videos, it’s been within a few months. ❤️and thank you!!
@@ThePerfumeNest thank YOU! Checking it out 😍😍
Really enjoyed your candid takes on these new releases!!!🤣 Loving banana notes at the moment and I got a kick out of your Nanatopia experience! I was also disappointed in it, not quite as bad as you, but I also got a powerful earthy woody note, I think it must be the cypriol oil/nagarmotha they used that I wasn't jiving with, because I usually love damp, complex patchoulis like Serge Lutens Borneo 1834 & Coromandel! I just wish I got way more of the gourmand notes like the banana, bread and tonka! For banana bread, have you tried Haus of Gloi "Fancy Bread" (from their Yule collection)? It smells exactly like real warm, banana bread straight out of the oven to me! I want to get it in body products next time, highly rec if you haven't tried it!
Oh my gosh that sounds delish!!! I was obsessed with banana last year. I actually have several perfumes with a banana vibe but the one you mentioned sounds divine! I will def be looking into it.
Hi Chris ❤️❤️❤️ Bowing down to another killer intro 👑
🤣🤣oh gosh. With it all put together..it was harsh.
So funny!! Adore you and this video!
Aw. Back at ya. ❤️
Thank you Chris for the great video . Narcotic Delight , Sugar Kiss is the love for me . I’m curious about Miss Dior , Lucky Candy , Amore Cafe . Janeiro59 is very boring and flat . You look amazing❤❤❤
Unbelievable how close our tastes are!
Thank you Chris , I‘m so happy to hear that because you have the most elegant taste in YT reviewer 😍
Hi Chris! I love when you review all the new releases and completely honest if they aren’t good and really bad, it saves me so much money I can’t thank you enough! Also your top is stunning where did you find it?❤️❤️
Thank you so much!!! 🙏🏻❤️❤️I’ll have to check when I get home: sometimes I cut the tag out if it’s scratchy. 😜😆
This has been the most fun!! ❤ Wow I have a sample of Narcotic Delight coming in an order... ordered it on Feb 11th... I just tracked it and so far it has only made it to Chicago!! 😫😩😣 and it started in Kansas.. I think a turtle is delivering it! 🐢😂😂
I’ve had that same turtle deliver me stuff!!!🤣
Interesting descriptions. The only one I loved from these new releases was the Black Opium Over Red and I do not like the original Black Opium at all! My favorite flanker is Le Parfum. The best Vanilla fragrance!
Yes!! Big fan of Le Parfum also!
Great video ! And very funny !
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!!
Great video, thanks for sharing. TF VS is really bad, agree!
Thanks for watching!🙏🏻❤️❤️
Beautiful dress ❤
Thank you! 🙏🏻 ❤️
LOL!!!!! Enjoyed this so much!
Aw thx!!🙏🏻
If we don't initially like a fragrance, should we try it again? I liked Penhaligon's Yasmine when I first sprayed it and it was fine. After showering, I used a few sprays, and decided I didn't like it. It seemed more like an air freshener. When I woke up in the morning, I liked it again, but had to touch my wrist to my nose in order to smell it. This fragrance has me more confused than any other fragrance. I can't decide if it's full bottle worthy even though everyone likes it. I suffer from FOMO.
Honestly I really don’t unless I blind bought it and I’m going to lose a lot of money selling it; I’ll try it a few times more. If it’s a sample? Nope. I’m usually done at that point. ❤️
I also think that if we don't like it from the start, others who smell it on us may not like it either, even if we've grown to love it. @@ThePerfumeNest
My Dior Parum is sitting in the box unopened, so thank goodness you like it. I don’t have any of the flankers 😅
You will like it. I’m not sure it will WOW you but I bet you’ll find it pretty. ❤️❤️❤️
No Vanilla Sex then, sad, right, Chris? Thank you!
No I’m actually happy! It’s expensive!!😆
@@ThePerfumeNest jajajjaja! Correct!
Vanilla Sex was boring. I am not a fan of Miss Dior, but am thrilled that Francis is taking over the fragrances. That Montale is surprising with the name that it is so floral. Won't be trying Nanatopia (it wasn't on my radar anyways). Not interested in a coffee fragrance now that the weather is changing to spring. I smelled Narcotic Delight on a test strip, wish I had tried on skin now. I had Musk Therapy on my mind because I had just bought Rania J Musc Moschino and people told me they were similar. Musc Moschino was 100% better than Musk Therapy so that made me happy I had made the right choice. I work with a 3rd grader who when someone uses the work "Hate" she says that's a bad word and looks horrified. Love your outfit!!
Oh my gosh that is the cutest little third grader!! What a sweetie!! ❤️❤️❤️🥰
And thank you. 🙏🏻 ❤️❤️
The intro! 😂😂😂😂❤
Mmmm stale banana bread sprinkled with dirt from kids shoes and other wonderful things dropped on top of it. 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂It was a pass!!
@@ThePerfumeNest that’s so surprising! Your description totally sold it 😂😂😂
Always enjoy your videos
Thank you!!🙏🏻 ❤️❤️
Love your roast videos 😂
🫢🤣I was sure this was going to get me thumbs down and ppl unsubscribing!
I was laughing at your Nanotopia trauma. Sorry. But that was a fantastic cold opening. 😂I was considering Nanatopia! Oh well.... at least you got an entertaining story out of the whole ordeal, right? I only own one borntostandout:Sugar Addict. Which is fantastic. Sweet, warm, cozy. I just ordered a sample of Sugar Kisses.. That sounds yummy!
Omg! I LOVE Sugar Addict!!!!!! That was a huge love and one I tested at work with my friend! We were all swooning!!! Def getting a larger size (maybe 9ml)
@@ThePerfumeNest I went through a sample. Then a decant. And then opted for a bottle. And it has a decent sized dent in it. Sugar Addict is referred to as a "fragrance sweetener". Which sounds like marketing BS. I mean, couldn't any sweet fragrance suitable for layering be a "sweetener"? 🙄
Smelled TFVS during the holidays and thought it was really yummy at first, then dried down to a super plasticky sweet almond. In fact, when people say a fragrance gives them the nostalgic doll smell, I didn’t know what they meant. It’s this.
Thankfully didn’t get a dirty smell on my skin but I am not interested at all.
I did get a decant of TF Vanille Fatale and it smelled a-ma-zing on my husband.
Yes! Vanille Fatale is so delish!!
I am very interested in Pazzaglia perfumes, since I first heard about them from you about a cherry heavy frag from them. I just wish I could get to sniff them somewhere 😒
Sure! I get my samples from Lucky Scent and Scent Split. Or you can find the line in perfume stores in bigger cities. I just order samples…
@@ThePerfumeNest Oh, and Scent Split even ships to my country! Superb, thanks!
@@madammadonna awesome!! Where r u at?
@@ThePerfumeNest Europe, Latvia. Many sites have a lot of countries on their shipping list, but not Latvia or Lithuania. And neither Spain, which is weird (my dad lives there).
Holayyy! Some trash talk! I'm here for the roast!! 😆🙌🏼
🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️Pull up a chair and get your popcorn!
I'm so glad none of my fragrances made this video, except for my cherosia 59, which wasn't roasted too badly😂....very informative as usual, and I agree with your thoughts on vanilla sex thumbs down.
Hey there!!😁😁❤️❤️❤️
Had to stick around and find out which you needed to run to the hardware store for. BTSO have been just okay and none were really 'must haves.'
😂😂
Some of these notes are hilarious. What does an ice cube smell like?
😂😂Cold. 😜😆
I think it’s good that is combination of previous Miss Dior, after all is Dior House -- not His private line… just saying… greetings
Agree. It’s a lovely creation.
I so agree with you the name Vanilla Sex is absolutely stupid & now that you’ve said it turns rancid after an hour I’m not the least bit interested in trying it! Too overpriced as well!
Yes. Walk on by….😉
mmmmmm...banna bread and gym socks...😂😂😂
🤣🤣Irresistible right??
The TF Vanilla S smelled to me like one of those old vanilla candles. There is also something medicinal...like a waiting room of a medical clinic
Yes. Not worth 400$ right??!
definitely not worth that..I know many love the perfume and if it brings them joy, then it's worth it for them
