I love small fragrance collections. Large collections overwhelm me. Especially when you have a lot of variety. Because, it can get difficult when you try to layer your body care. ❤

Really beautiful options!! I just came across your channel so you have a new sub 🤩

I informed Soki that I expected the word Empress to be on thd bottle. Her response was cost was getting too high.

I love Artemisia

Beautiful collection ♥️ But I have to say your perfume tray and the napkin are so lovely! I love it!

Such a great description! I have the milestone mystique & people have different opinions as to whether or not its duping bibliotheque.. it certainly smells like your description. 💜 (Although i think its great for summery weather.. the fruit note pops). 😊

Nice Collection! I love Gypsy Water as well with Bal'dfrique in second . ❤

Are the open bottles? Or spray?

I just bought this and I absolutely love it! It was a major surprise to me because the smell of it reminds me of this fantastic little hippie store that I've shopped at for 20+ years. Smells like musk, herbs, and incense. It's very warm and inviting.

❤ sweet video. I enjoy the product. I appreciate the mix. Its a great smell, you described it well. ❤

I just bought this perfume, and I noticed that there’s quite a bit missing. It looks like your bottle is the same way. When you first opened it was it at a much lower level than other perfumes?

🖤

such a great choice! 😊

Did you receive perfume for Christmas? Which one(s)? :)

Agreed

I love your videos, they are so relaxing! I think we have similar perfume tastes and I also am aiming to build a small "capsule" perfume collection of only the scents that I truly love. I actually have a mostly full bottle of Artemisia from Penhaligon's that I'm looking to trade (lovely but don't reach for it much) and would totally swap for your bottle of Vanilla Woods if you still have that one!

I had the same reaction, you should spray it a few times and then leave it in a drawer without the cap for like 2 months and then it will smell better (that happened to me!) and have happened with most perfumes. I let them macerate

Great review, thank you. I was wondering if it was that sweet gourmand kind and glad to know

You're doing so well! Thanks for sharing an update. So much of this resonates with me. I've managed to slow down on the buying this year because I am finding that I just want to wear my few loves ❤️ I am wanting to get my collection down from 35ish to 10 - 15 but some of them are so hard to let go of because I want to be able to smell them even if I don't wear them much or I think I should keep them because they were expensive. I definitely feel like I'm coming full circle on this hobby/obsession and want my family and friends to be able to associate me with a few favorite scents rather than random perfumes all the time. Apologies for the novel, but it's very encouraging to come across others experiencing a similar journey. Love your little marble tray of precious favorites xx

I’m definitely bored of the perfume game! On a no buy for a bit to detox!

Lovely video.

every time I get asked what I am wearing, it always ends up being something like Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato 33, or like Replica Whispers in the Library, or DUA Banana and Vanilla Custard Flan... and their faces would be like 😶 ....🤭🤣 so i am always ready to show a photo of it 😁

this was a very timely video... I know what you mean by losing the excitement and thinking of all the money that i could have spent in other things.. it´s now a joke between my son and I... whenever I think of wanting to get something like some running shoes or what now, we immediately stare at each other and point at my perfume cabinet 🤣

I like your approach to collecting!

Great video!!❤

I agree! I got a small size of this from Sephora because of all the hype. I really thought i will like it but i just don't understand the love that ppl have for it. It's nothing impressive, it smells like a very cheap vanilla scent-in my opinion. It doesn't do absolutely nothing for me. The one fragrance that i absolutely love that smells like the perfect vanilla to me, is Grand Soir by MFK . Cozy and soft and just delicious 🥰

Yep!!! Another hit for the hubby!!! He lovvvvess Empress!

I almost blind bought this one! I'm so glad I saw this video first. Thanks!

I had the same exact experience with Artemisia - love at first scent!

Tienen secret garden de vainilla

Rose water scents can be challenging for me some times, but if it is sparkly or sweet, then I am all about it 😊 This sounds beautiful ! 💕🌹

Can a man wear this ?

I love vanilla cookie scents too. Do you have any suggestions on perfumes like that?

You did so well! And you halved your collection while not purchasing! That would have taken a lot of willpower. The year I attempted a no buy was the year Covid hit, and it all went out the window. I have hovered around 40 perfumes for years now but I really would like to reduce this number by half, empty some bottles, and be more moderate with my spending this year. You have inspired me 😊🙏

Oh no, I was hoping to be inspired to decrease my collection, and now I’m super curious about Artemesia!

You should try the Ellis Brooklyn WEST that is grapefruit and is well done. I personally love it and last a pretty good while. I say about 4 hours on me before reapplying.

I am curious to try it but I wish Soki would have used a different top. The star looks just like the Mugler Angel bottle.

I've tried most of their fragrances and I'll tell you it's one of their best if not their best fragrance. Of course perfume is all down to one's own personal taste. Also longevity lasted well into the next day.

Everyone has interpreted this perfume differently. I’m still forming my thoughts! I love her perfume taste but I’m still on the fence.

I like your attitude: supporting Soki despite different taste in scents !

I still have not received my bottle and I cannot track it. Update: they got in touch with me and I received the perfume. I don’t think the popcorn note agrees with me. This was a blind buy since I live in the US and could not buy a sample.

Just new to penhaligon...i just bought hrlfeti cedar n leather

It sounds like you are dancing around the fact that you don’t like this fragrance.

Very nice bottle

I love the bottle! Purple is my favorite color and I love anything galaxy/star themed. The bottle reminds me also of a fancy Lampe Berger! 🥰

The bottle is so tacky for me

Thank you for doing such a thorough reciew on Empress, It sounds beautiful!!!

Thanks so much for your video! Love the matching purple bag 💜💫 So many people have said their partner commented on the smell - it’s a good date night scent ! 💜

sounds like a very rich scent... fall and winter appropriate... or like for date nights...💟

my atomizer sticks and I have to pull it out because it sticks down once sprayed. Anyone else have this problem?
