Please do more of these, we really get tired hearing only good things about fragrances, it’s also important to hear something negative
absolutely! ❤️
I love these because it balances out the insanity. When every reviewer goes Gaga over a fragrance I used to think that I can blind buy it safely. Been burned too many times by that. It helps to have even one person say they don’t like it. Because In the end we are all completely unique when it comes to fragrance.
Absolutely!!
Agree! 😊
What do you do with the perfumes you don’t like? I have a couple burns too 😅
@@elizabethk2072 I either give them to friends or they sit in my closet waiting for me to sell them. And I have never gotten around to selling any of them.
I so agree with you!!! And if you say you don’t like a popular fragrance or it doesn’t work for you… they think you are crazy 🤦🏻♀️
Fragrances are so subjective! ❤️
I just found your channel and I’m having so much fun bingeing your videos 😄 thank you for your honesty and fun personality!
oh my gosh welcome! I'm so happy to have you here! 🥰
I absolutely love this type of honest video. I do love Si though. That fragrance last forever on me along with Oud Bouquet and Grand Soir.
I'm mad in love with Armani Si Fiori, but I got my hands on Clean Reserve Skin because of you & mad mad love that too! So that's that. Love to hear your rambling on fragrance :)
ahhh so good 😍😍
I’ve said it before but I think understanding what a person doesn’t like (and why) is just as (if not more) important than knowing about the likes/loves. I appreciate that you can review fragrances both subjectively with your personal reactions but also share your opinion objectively since everyone is different and will have a different experience of a scent!
absolutely! ❤️
Agreed. After listening to her and other reviewers I realize she and I have very different taste. But it is what it is. It' perfume it's not right or wrong.
We need more of these kind of videos. Love it!!
I love this video series, very much needed negative opinions on popular perfumes so we know we're not crazy if we hate them hahaha. I do love some of the perfumes destroyed in this video, but I appreciate SO MUCH the opinion of someone who doesn't like it so I don't overspray o be mindful of others who might be bothered by it. I loving your channel Anne, way to go!
Omg! The Si line (I have them all) last on my skin for 12 hours plus! 🤩I love them all.
I couldn't agree more about creed aventus for her!
Si the OG turns from hate to love. I have had my bottle since 2017. I am starting wearing it this summer. My be it works perfectly on my skin in the heat😎
I swear we are nose twinsies, agree with you 100% on basically all of them, at least the ones I’ve tried! Love the honesty and crusty ass skin comment 🤣
👯♀️😝❤️
You are hilarious and so refreshing. Love your videos. Keep doing you, girl!
Honesty is the best policy! LOL! Love these videos! It also ads to your credibility as a reviewer. 😉
Thank you! ❤️
So happy to see someone finally saying the things im thinking 😂. I've ordered so many samples from all the hyped fragrances like line feline and few from ex nihilo And don't like 99% of them 😂. At the same time I'm not basic like a lot of people so yeah 👽.
Keep these coming Anne! Love your videos
Thank you! 🤍
These videos always make me nervous 🫣 even filming them myself but you have a polite way of being brutally honest 🥹 And you break it down in such a way that I agree with you, even if I love the scent 😂
I recently starting picking up the freesia note in some of the Si perfumes so I actually decluttered 3 but I will say that since the first one is almost a decade old, most perfumes that smell like it have come after it. I also think they perfected the OG with their latest Intense version, imo of course ❤️
oh thank you 😆❤️ I'm glad you've found a love within the line 🥰!
100% agree about the SI line. I wanted to love this perfume so much but it lasts for an hour if that. :-( love your reviews btw 💜
Thank you! ❤️
Yep I don’t like anything from the si line, there is something about them that I do not like
Your fragrance roasts are hilarious. Don't change! P.S. I really like the pear and ambrette combo in Dior Homme Intense
These videos are why I love watching u!!!! ❤
Hahahha this video is funnnnnn! And when you started talking about my holy grail (Portrait of a Lady)... It was even funnier 😂 and that's why I love perfumes so much, they evoke emotions, memories... Good or bad they make an impression and we experience it differently and I usually gravitate to polarising fragrances, they're exciting 😜
Love it! Keep ‘em coming. Learn so much. You say what other reviewers think but don’t say bluntly ❤️🇨🇦
thank you! ❤️
I agree with on Creed. It smells salty as well, BUT people love it on me. Loll. Love your honesty!
Slay Queen😂😂😂😂😍😍this was so much fun....clearly perfume is subjective, so everybody should wear what they like and thats that!!!😉
Absolutely!! ❤️
Integrity and Honesty in a fragrance reviewer.....how incredibly refreshing! I admire and appreciate the courage you have to actually share your true thoughts. We should be able to do that without having to dodge the haters every single time. I am so over, so many reviewers, because as stated below, we have been lead astray.....the hype, the hype, the hype. Also, I can't agree with your opinion more as to many of the fragrances you mentioned: Lune Feline, Nomade Naturelle, Aventus for her, Pure Poison, Bronze Goddess, Lust in paradise, Wonderland Peony, Armani Is, Bloom...Exactly!!!
thank you! I appreciate that so much!! 🙏🏼
Love your personality! So honest but not offensive and l love you can appreciate a good fragrance but maybe it is not for you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is my favorite video so far ❤️❤️
Totally agree with your reviews, especially about the GG Sì and Gucci Bloom lines. Such boring and too mature!
Υes, totally agree to what you said about the nomade naturelle. I love the whole line. And... spot on with Aventus. Very masculine.
Anne, I could listen to you talking about ANYTHING and be thoroughly entertained but when we get you unfiltered, because I bet we never get you completely unfiltered (although I yearn for that) I'm in heaven! Im lying here smelling of the heavenly Ylang in Gold thanks to you, appreciating every bit of your quirky sense of humour. You are the only perfume reviewer that I truly appreciate and trust.
Dear Anne, you got my goose in the best way when you reviewed pure poison and about your moisturized skin. I love it! Appreciate your reviews girl applause 👏!!
I really liked this video. Gucci Bloom - exactly - if you want to smell 20 years older - get Gucci Bloom. Such an old lady scent, ugh. It's so outdated today.
I totally agree with you about Aventus for Her. I gave it to my son and he loves it.
🙌 yes!! I agree with you on all of these!
Especially gucci bloom i hate it!!!!
Thank you for your honesty!
always! ❤️
“…yOuR sKiN iS dRy…”
“Ma’am…”
😂 You’re a riot and - you’re doing the fragrance gods good work! One of the few noses I trust… We appreciate you and your honestly!
Lmao…i laughed so hard too…but these days who doesnt even moisturize their skin? 😢
We need more of these! Would love to hear if you’re into anything from nishane or memo :)
Thank you! Finally someone agrees with me on Pure Poison, I thought I was the only person who couldn’t like this scent. I just don’t get the hype, with the millions of fragrances out there I can pass on Pure Poison.
Love your honesty! We should do more videos of what we don’t love besides what we love. 🤓It’s hard though as someone put work and effort in creating it but it’s our opinion not a technical review 😘
Yes!!
I’m so sad that the sandalwood and amber in Pure Poison doesn’t come up for you 😔 ah! c’est la vie! Love the video as always gal! ❤️
Aww me too!
I've seen some comments that the fenty smells like kayali's elixir11, I have elixir but I've rated it fairly well, obviously Middle Eastern with a hint of sweet and sour ebony rose. very special but i didn't like that very much, great review by the way you’re killing it🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Just dipping my toes into perfumes and binged your videos after finding you. You are so entertaining and I think we have similar tastes. I ordered a slew of samples that I have coming my way that I'm so excited to try.
Thank you!! ❤️ I hope you find something you love 😍
@@AnneLauren Found one LOVE so far. Rosendo Mateu No. 5.
Thank you!
@@caraforte3879 I’m so glad!! 😍
Love it. Great fun video. Thanks
i really enjoy these types of videos... just goes to prove how very different perfume can smell to each person. Its also quite funny to watch! I have to say that i agree with you over the Si line with the exception of their Si Intense (2021 version, not the black bottle). That one took me by surprise and has become one of my most adored scents. It also lasts FOREVER on my skin and clothing. But hey, I'm also just one woman :-)
I freaking love your videos 😂
I'd never buy the perfumes mentioned here because they aren't my vibe but oh girl i love your honesty, keep these videos coming 💙
hahah I'm glad you like them!
Laughing out loud about Gucci Bloom and I could not agree more! Also don’t get Si. Or (dare I say it) My Way. I just can’t get in board with any of them. Love these rants. Keep ‘em going! ♥️
oh yeahhh I don't like My Way either 😆
While I do not agree with your opinion of Si, in general I also think they have been watered down. I love your honesty, we need more of that on here.
Hey Anne! Love your vids. Would you consider doing a vid on fragrances you once felt really strongly about (one way or the other) but your opinion has since changed...and why your opinion might have changed? Thanks for the vids!
Thank you! To be honest, I don't have too much experience with something changing my opinion that drastically, usuallyyy my opinion stays the same 😝 But I always make a habit to update you guys on my opinions on fragrances, so if there is an exception, I will always mention it :) For example, when I hauled Eau Duelle, I mentioned it was way too green for me years ago, and now it's one of my top favorites 🥰
+1 aventus for her. I am also maschuline leaning unisex lover but this one is straight male for me. I have a dekant and i decided to use it for layering. So for i used it with delina rosee and it worked out.
You are so correct when you say smell is subjective: I used to teach high school so I am familiar with that ‘lynx’ type deodorant smell that teenage boys constantly spray (which is awful) Chanel eau Tendre smells just like that to me!
Lost of male fragances have this note, and hate them
Another great video!
Aw I like Explicite and Pure Poison but I do enjoy these videos! I don’t even see this as negative, to me it just adds helpful counterpoints. Have you ever done a “re-visiting the classics” type of video? I think it could be fun to get your thoughts on original Poison, Shalimar, No. 5, stuff like that!
I appreciate your feedback! ❤️ Rock em!
ooo those perfumes aren't "me" at all 😝
Yes!finally someody who agrees with me on Aventus for her! It should be a man scent.i bought a sample and i thought it turned bad but after i tried again in the perfume store and it was the same!i was like 'what on earth'...i hate it🤷🏼♀️ Musc Ravageur is too animalic for me, i sold my bottle.but i love Si Fiori and Lune Feline :)
Please, please try Tommy Bahama St Barts or At. Kitts. I love your honesty. Just let me know what you really think please
Tried Chloe Nomade Absolu, hated the opening (davana?) but loooved the aftermath. Like a creamy, luxurious slightly spicy soap. Those luxe scents in boutique hotels which I love hehe. Any other similar suggestions? 💖
The time I sent back my Fenty cuz everyone was hating on it…then bought it again because I liked it anyway! Finally a little vindication for Fenty!!!
It’s a good one! ❤️
Lol, I don’t like the Gucci line either, so many in here I agree with!! 💕 Great vid, honest!!💕
thank you! ❤️
All the yeses!!!!! 🖤🖤
Hi Anne, Can you review the Molecule and Eccentric fragrance lines? Thank you!
"Just a big fat NO." Love it. 😂 I have bought so many fragrances you've recommended and you have not steered me wrong girl. Thanks for all you do.
I’m undecided about the Aventus for her too, I get fruit in it but it’s just takes over and overwhelms me
LOL. I absolutely love Gucci Bloom, I don't mind a stuffy Tuberose bomb. Diptyque Do Son is extremely similar but the younger, less stuffy version. I also was super un-impressed with Creed Aventus for Her. I didn't necessarily find it masculine, but it's definitely BORING. Can't wait to get my hands on Musc Ravageur and find out if I hate it.
What other pear and ambrette scents have you tried? (Because I love GIAW and Radiant Nectar)
Thank you omg Gucci Bloom all are SOOOOOO mature I can’t do it on me at all
This was fun lol love you
hahah love you!! 😆🤍
Yes yes yes! Completely agree on everything that I have smelled. Recently bought a decant of Gucci bloom (always trying to find things that my boyfriend will love. He has slightly less...refined tastes. He would like me to smell like Victoria's Secret body spray 😭) and I hate it so much.
omg that's too funny 😝
Have you tried Kilian princess or mfk gentle fluidity gold or Initio absolute aphrodisiac(any good vanilla guys that like body sprays seem to like), Simone a leisure in paradise etc my husband who likes body sprays on me(he loves the sol de Janeiro ones and Victoria secret ones lol) but he liked all the fragrances above
Gucci Bloom... I remember when this first came out they set up a bunch of flowers at the front of the department store and there were two girls and a guy there with perfume bottles spritzing cards and handing them out left, right and center. I gave them a wide, wide berth... Any wider and I would be literally hugging the walls to make my way through the entryway.
omg 😂😂😂
Thank you for your honest opinion about Portrait of a lady. It doesn’t sound wearable for me. But I still want to sample it lol.
absolutely, I always recommend sampling 🥰
I love Si fiori, I don’t like the others but I’ve never tried any of the passione line
My skin seems to eat up perfumes. Often ones that others don't have issues with. After your comment in this video I wonder if it is a ME thing, specifically related to my connective tissue disorder ehlers danlos syndrome. People with my condition often need alot more anaesthetic for dental procedures. Wonder if someone sciencey might know if there could be a genuine mechanism at play....?
What do you think of Zadig and Voltaire's This Is Her? It's my signature summer scent.
It's been a while since I've smelled it! I remember it being a nice, simple, sandalwood, musk smell. I usually like something a tad more complex, but I have it on my list to revisit soon :)
I don’t like l'imperatrice 3. It smelled like a fruity cocktail and I just don’t want to smell like that. Sucks bc the bottle is so nice and it’s super affordable. Keep doing videos like this. Super hyped perfumes aren’t always great and it’s nice to see someone be honest about that.
Same, I don't like to smell like watermelon....
Oh no the smoke in lune feline is my absolute favorite thing 🤩
it's a good one! I can see why it's so loved!
No problem girl, me neither on Pure Poison. I even hate that smell. It was too baby powdery that stings so bad into my nose and gave me instant headache. Maybe I just don't enjoy white floral in general since the majority of the notes are those type of scent. So yeah, I just dont get the hype either.
Not offended at all by the reviews. 😄 Sí is my easy reach/signature scent. I have smelled it too on other people and more often than not I DONT LIKE IT 😂 which means Sí is that kind that smells quite different on paper than on different people. Im just really happy that every variation smells good on me and i get loads of compliments from them. Agree on the Gucci Bloom. It smells like a rich and strict grandma.
hahah I appreciate you 😆 I'm glad you love it and it works for you! ❤️
Thank you for your Honest opinion
always! ❤️
I don't get the hype on the Creed Aventus for her either! It doesn't smell bad but I am not getting what everyone else is getting and it's quite sharp 🤔
sorry if you've already talked about these but Like This and Fat Electrician from ELDO? have you smelled those?
i looked through all ur yt vids for those ones but only saw remarkable people and you or someone etc
Thank you! Sorry, I haven’t tried those!
"Ma'am...I'm a fragrance reviewer..." 🤣 You go girl.
👏🏼😝🤍
totally irrelevant request but can you please share your makeup products, the ones used in this video, love the blush and this peachy bronze vibe, natural and simply beautiful :)
I don’t own anything on this list 😂Love the video !
Hey Anne, just a quick question. Which moisturizer can you recommend? I assume it has to be scentless but i never know which ones to buy,.
My go to is the Lubriderm Daily Moisture Fragrance Free Lotion! But if I want to layer a perfume with a scented lotion, I like the Bath & Body Works Body Creams :)
I totally agree with Creed Aventus for her. I don't get any fruity smell to it a bit citrusy only in the beginning I would say and as it dries down becomes very bitter and masculine. The smell is not femenine at all imo and many male friends of mine don't like it. Portrait of a lady is one of my favourite from my collection but don't like Musc Ravageur. Yes, too much cinnamon and clove. I have a bottle and I'm thinking of selling it.
Yess 🔥🔥🔥I thought I was the only one who could not deal with those fragrances one missing on the list for me: MFK Baccarat rouge.
Thank goodness Lune Feline wasn't bashed,I love it.Stay honest,stay beautiful.
Awe no it’s a good one!!
@@AnneLauren,bottles are really kool too😎
I don't like soapy scents either. There... I said it... Whoo so much relief in being honest with oneself. - Jenn
😆😆
I don’t get the hype with the Si line either. It’s just so common and unremarkable to me. They don’t smell bad - just so generic, in my opinion.
"yErRr sKiN iS dRy" omg 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awww..im sad you dont like Adventus 😢 I absolutely ADORE the green apple it makes it soooo unique
Hi! Do you like and recommend any tuberose perfumes?
Wonderland peony is AMAZINGGGGGGG
100% agree with Si review. 👍
For every one of these that I've smelled, I agree. No arguments here!
I couldn’t agree more about Creed Aventus For Her 😂
Pear&Ambrette/Ambroxan- have you tried Juliette has a gun Pear Inc? One of my top 5 🥰 I haven't smelled God is a Woman, but a lot of people say JHAG is very similar.
Yes! It's SO good!! The scent of Pear Inc. is far superior than God is a Woman imo, but Pear Inc. doesn't last at all on me unfortunately 😭
Off topic but you reminds me of young Gisele Bunchen (the supermodel) your beauty is soo natural looking.
Preach babe! It is embarrassing
I love Aventus For Her!
I didn’t really like Pure Poison either:-)
I love L’Impératrice too- just the way it is..
I hated POL too🤣. Actually the rose is destroyed by the patchouli and other notes- not for me..
I don’t like any Si’s either haha
I agree 100% about Si Line, to me this has no identity trying hard to be.
Also Gucci Bloom..although I love white florals in particular tuberose, but it has be done in a frivolous way (not like Diptyque Do Son for example or Gucci Bloom line). I tried hard with Gucci Bloom but every time I tested it I was seeing extra wrinkles on my face.🤭
hahah I agree, I'm so picky with tuberose. When it's not a mature take, I quite enjoy it!
I have a love/hate relationship with armani si, sometimes i find it just too heavy and thick, other times i find it irresistible .. so strange
Your face looks flawless! 😍
Aw thank you!! ❤️❤️
ME TOO on Dior Poison!!!!!
Literally thought I was the only one!!
