Actually would be also really cool to see the opposite kind of pattern, where you grow to dislike or despise ones that you have loved đ
Yes! That has happened to me quite a few times where I really liked it after trying or sampling, bought it, then ended up not liking it after a couple of full days wear.
Absolutely đ
I somehow did not get the green facet of Angelique Noire. To me it smells like pear wrapped in sweet vanilla. âșïž
This exact occurrence is what makes me so reluctant to declutter; who knows if/when something will turn into a love!
It can be a tough call đ
@@AnneLauren I err on the side of wait and see! Aka hoarding tendencies đŹ juuuust kidding, I totally let things go. Ish. Sometimes đâ€ïž
@@laurenzieger9617 haha I tend to hold onto it for several months to see if maybe itâs just a phase and once Iâve worn it like 3 more times and Iâm still not loving it anymore, I find it a new home đŹ
@@AnneLauren my brain says- wait! Did you try it across different conditions like various temperatures and occasions? Was it rainy or sunny? What were your hormones like? Did you actually wear it or just smell it on paper? How old was the juice of the decant you purchased, and did you give it enough time? Cheapies are easy enough to declutter bc I can justify a repurchase. I generally go for 5 ml-10 ml decants, often 8 ml, so I can be sure if I go through the decant I want a full bottle. And so here I am with a bazillion decants and never really making up my mind about any, while also holding onto full bottles just in case. Luckily it's just scented water and not that serious, except my collection prompted a comment to my husband from a contractor while we were renovating our bathroom... đ€đđ
I blind bought Crimson rocks by amouage and hated it so much, to me it smelled like old lady sitting in a dusty room drinking cinnamon tea. And a year ago I got it out to sell it and sprayed it on my wrist. I was so shocked, i liked the smell, I wore it that day and the next days after that and now I can't live without it. It's crazy how our taste can evolve
Bal d'afrique had to grow on me. I spent years being so confused about the hype. Now I get it. My taste has changed to liking freshier fragrances.
Another one is mont blanc signature, it smelled like disg soap to me and now I love it
same!! For like 2 years I kept revisiting Bal d'Afrique
1:40 Iâm in the same place right now with AN! Itâs not quite a complete like, but I like its DNA more now than before.
I agree with Yum Pistachio. At first I wasnât getting the hype, but I revisited and now I love it. Iâve been wearing it a lot this Spring.
A hella strong love at first sniff for me and Yum
I love Vanilla Planifolia ,it's very creamy and lactonic vanilla. Venom of Love also grew on me and it's a love now . I always love your contentâ€â€â€
Please do a whole vid on green / not sweet vanillas đ you mentioned loving pine or juniper with vanilla, which sounds lovely so Iâd like to know what those fragrances are that deliver that. Angelique Noir is the most intriguing to me in this list.
Did you ever share with us your thoughts on FĂšve Gourmande and its comparisons to Gourmand Coquin? x
I'm sorry, I have yet to smell it!
Bal dâafrique, clean skin reserve, vanilla 28, Ambrosia imperial is still growing on me, every time I spray it I like it a little more. Iâm going to have to revisit yum pistachio for sure, I know for a fact that after it sits for a bit after that initial spray itâs going to become a love.
Bal d'Afrique had to grow on me as well! Yeah Kayalis definitely improve as they sit :)
One of my favorite fragrance categories! And hooray, youâre back!!
I grew to love 540. Yes, its hyped but I still love it for when I crave it.
Absolutely! I still love it as well đ„°
Loved this video! I had the same experiance with Diptyque Eau Duelle edp, Hundred silent ways, Ambrosia Imperiale
I had the same experience with Kayali Pistachio Gelato. Itâs not that I didnât like it, it just wasnât special at first. I put it away in my collection for months and took it out recently while organizing- it grew up a little đ
really though! đđ
Anne pleeeease do a Brigerton vibes video. If there was ever a video idea made for you it is this đđ§ #woodlandfairies
aw! âš
Great Video as always!â€Wonderful to "see you" I always get a lift when you postâ€Thanks Anneâ€
Aw thank you Linda! Hope you're having a good day! â€ïž
The softer smokey winged eyeliner is lovely btw đ
thank you! â€ïž
Off perfume topic...You look absolutely stunning! I believe your lipstick color today is the absolute best I have seen you in. Not too overly dark, but the Pop it gives is truly gorgeous on you!
thank you so much! đ„čđ
Can you please do a video on your favorite Dossier perfumes? And also, a video on some of your favorite scented bodycare products to layer before your perfumes to help your scent last all day (specifically for the âclean girlâ/âyour skin but betterâ category)?
Great to see you Anne! Iris Malikhùn & Eau Duelle but I'm in love now. Going to sample Vanilla Planifolia & resample Angélique Noire.
same! they're now some of my favorites as well đ
JPG La Belle grew on me. I hated it at first but I loved the bottle so I kept it for years and now it's so good. Si Fiora also grew on me. I couldn't figure out all the hype. This one also sat a couple years and now I love it. Im thinking my nose changed maybe. Lol loved your video. â€
Oh how I've missed you after that 4 day streak of video uploadssss!! lol... I want to try Angelique Noir but am afraid that it may turn out like 312 St Honore (heavy on angelika in that musk) that did not sit well with my hubby at all when I wore it. I'm a fan of green vanilla with some aromatics in them like Poets of Berlin so need to get a sample of Angelique Noir.
Aw! đ„° I find 312 and AN to be quite different, but Angelique Noir is an angelica bomb so that may not be for him đŹ Always fun to grab a sample to experience though!
One that fits in this category for me is Gris Charnel. At first I was like what the hell am I smelling, but itâs now a top 10 for life for me đ
oh yeah, that one took a while to grow on me as well!
I've had the same experience with angelique noire 3 years ago and now it's in my top 5 for life.
It took me a few wears of Not a Perfume by Juliette Has a Gun to âget itâ, I was literally like âwhere is this fragrance??..whatâs all the hype about!?â On the 3rd or 4th wear i finally GOT IT! I didnât even know it was that fragrance, it was just a beautiful smell all around me and I was like ahhh this is the hype, I get it now đ And thus began my love for frags of the your skin but better category! It also taught me to be patient with frags and to not knock âem till you try it several times! Wonderful video Anne!!!! đ
I'm so bummed that I'm anosmic to that one! đ© I wanna be able to experience what I hear so much about haha â€ïž
I totally understand that bc Iâm anosmic to some of those types of scents too lol! Every nose is soo different!!!
pine & vanilla is such a love for me- always on the hunt! Any suggestions other than G Water? I own and love it, but want more if this type!
Me, too! I'd love more of this type but with better lasting quality.
Iâm opposite on Yum Pistachio. I initially adored it. I remember the first day I wore it, felt like I was floating in a cloud straight from the heavens. Now, though, itâs a bit overpowering and cloying and I really miss it. My favorite grow on me fragrance is Versace Crystal Noir; I donât claim the nose who didnât initially like her. đč
that's too funny cause I'm the opposite with Crystal Noir! đ Loved it at first sniff and later on it didn't fully jive with me anymore. However, I still think it's an excellent fragrance and a stand out in the designer realm, maybe one day it will hit for me again, I revisit it from time to time đđ
Yum Pistachio is an absolute obsession for me at this point. If Elsa had a fragrance this has to be it â€ïž
Angelique Noire had to grow on me as well. I love it now though and canât ever be without it.
Angelique Noire is my my favorite perfume ever. So glad you grew to love it â€
me too! đ„°
Hello there. I love the collection of your perfumes. May I ask where do you really shop the most for your perfumes?
Thank you! I get them from a bunch of places, Luckyscent, Sephora, Twisted Lily, Selfridges, Fragrance Net, and Jomashop to name a few. I also have links in the description box to where you can get them :)
I did a total 180 on Replica Jazz Club. I love a tobacco note but at first it was too sharp and all I got were the citrusy and herbal notes but now I love it! Maybe it was my nose or maybe my bottle just needed to sit and mellow!
I'm so glad to hear that! My fav from the house đ
Can you do a review on Spirit of Kings? Iâm curious on the Gold Collection.
I'll have to look into them!
Heyyy Anne đđŸ, I used to literally detest YSL Libre. I purchased it because AI the Great convinced me it was so good. So I blind bought it. Even though I could have went in the store and smell it I just thought it was going to be amazing. Unfortunately, it wasnât đđđ. I let it sit for 6 months , because I was supposed to return it but you know how life is đđ. I came back to smell it now Iâm obsessed with it. I love the entire Libre line of fragrances. đđđ
I'm glad it grew on you! Especially when you have the bottle đ
Omg! I had exact the same issue/experience with Angelique noire! Itâs like you telling my storyâŠđit was one of my first samples⊠I was disappointed cause it was sooo hyped and I was expecting something incredible different!I I gifted the first sample to a friend ⊠but I had 2 more samples within the years -not because I loved it.. but I wanted to understand it⊠and I donât know what happened⊠but one day I smelled it and I was in love !!! I Love the dry down soooo much. Itâs now one of my favorite fragrances. If a fragrance is hyped I get curious , but I wouldnât buy it just because itâs popular⊠I try it and I either forget about it or I am obsessed. But Angelique noire was not a dislike ⊠more a âquestion markâ at first sniffâŠ
Now I love it!
Yess I've purchased so many samples of it over the years to try to understand it đ It's not what I'd consider beginner friendly, but I'm so glad it's now in my collection as a total love đ
Angelique Noire is the ultimate "grows on you" fragrance imo, I read it over and over again that it wasn't love at first sniff and now it's one of their favorites:) same for me
truly! â€ïž
What an interesting, engaging idea for a video! I have many fragrances in my collection that I may never have bought in the first place as my early experiences with them via decants were awful-- I almost chucked these offensive samples out and moved on entirely. Like you, I revisited them months later and WOW! I marvelled at my once strong dislike of them because there I was, online buying full bottles! If you enjoy Angelique Noir, I wonder what you make of Christian Provenzano's 'Nuit de Noches'? It's a perfect example of 'need to experience, almost impossible to describe thoroughly'. If I hadn't known that the note of angelica featured in it, I'd have been at a loss as to how to describe it to you or anyone else. A real oddball of a fragrance which you may also like as the vanilla in it is similar to many vanillas you enjoy. The Guerlain range from which AN is from is not for me. The quality is not there for the price point. A great shame and mystery, I mean the historic house of Guerlain! Tsk tsk, it's shocking. I realise that it may perform just as YOU hope for it to and thus find the price sensible for the quality you get. I don't. The search continues! I love Ambre Loup by Rania J but some of the negative reviews of it have made my eyes water from the laughter. That's one of the ones I almost wrote off entirely at the sampling stage đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€·ââđ
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed đ I've definitely had to repurchase fragrance samples after decluttering them because all of a sudden months or years later I'm thinking about a scent and craving the experience again?? đ I actually haven't smelled any Christian Provenzano fragrances! Ambre Loup is one of the best from Rania J I think
Could you give me examples of Pine-vanillas? Thanks!
Anne!!! Loveeee the rings on your right hand. Would you mind to share where you got them from?
The Pistachio fragrance is my favourite from the Kayali house. It would always be in my collection. I am Cuir Beluga team from Guerlain. â€
Thank you! They're from Link'd the Label :)
@@AnneLauren Thank you so much!
Angelique Noir is amazing .. Mancera her velvet vanille is almost the same but it last longer! Both Amazing đđ€
I do smell some similarities between the two :)
After I discovered your channel and binged on the newest videos, I then started watching older ones. In one of them you said how much you disliked green vanillas. I was likeâŠwaitâŠwhat???đ
no literallyyy đ
Purple Fig (Vilhelm) was a disappointment but by the time I got to the end of the bottle it was love. Portrait of a Lady was a blind buy, could not smell it hardly when I tried it in winter and what I could smell I disliked, tried again in spring and it seemed like a different perfume, it's still not a love but I am liking it more and more.
It's so interesting how different qualities of a fragrance pop more in different seasons!
Iris shot is on my wishlist. Have you tried LA VIE EST BELLE IRIS ABSOLU EAU DE PARFUM ...if so is it comparable to that? The only reason I haven't pulled to trigger on Iris shot , is because I was wondering if it smells like this perfume.
I haven't! The orange blossom in the La Vie Est Belle range isn't for me and Iris Shot doesn't have any so I think they'd be quite different, also because LVEB has fruity notes, and Iris Shot has the almond and carrot seeds. Definitely worth sampling I think :)
I own and love both and they are nothing alike. You can definitely have both with your collection
Guidance
I really struggling with Miller Harris "Scherzo". I'm going to try it again tomorrow, maybe its the day when i can appreciate itđŹ
Try it again and again⊠đđđ on my third bottle, instant love for me, and major compliment getter! A fresh unique take on a rose oud combo! Perfection to me!
That one isn't for me either, but if you got a bottle I hope it grows on you! â€ïž
I was wondering if Chloe Vanilla Planifolia smells anything like Orchidee Vanille by Van Cleef & Arpels. If not, does it remind you of any other perfume? Thank you đ€
They're quite different! It honestly doesn't remind me of another perfume I've smelled, but if you enjoy the idea of a creamy, feminine vanilla that's not too sweet, with a bit of a green quality, I think it's worth checking out :)
Iris shot is right up my alley, the only thing is that it doesnât last on međą
aw what a shame!
I love an ice cream noteâŠbut havenât found one that I feel is giving me ice cream? Any recommendations? đŠ
I absolutely love Chloe Vanilla Planifolia too by the wayâŠLOVE!
I know what you mean, I have yet to smell something that gives me a true ice cream experience, but some that give me that vibe would be Imaginary Authors A Whiff of Wafflecone, Snif Heal the Way, and Lorenzo Pazzaglia Van Exstasyx. There's also Theodoros Kalotinis Pear Gelato that I have yet to try, but I've heard good things :)
@@AnneLauren thanks for the recommendations!
@@samanthahafford7055 my pleasure!
Kayali Deja Vu White Flowers really grew on me once it sat and the vanilla had time deepen. MFK Gentle Fluidity Gold smelled really sharp and masculine at first. I couldnât stand it. Now I absolutely love it. I was disappointed when I first smelled Sparkling Jo. I wanted to love it. At first, the fizzy aldehylic champagne smell was overwhelming and gave me a headache. I didnât get any of the pear. I was going to give it away but tried it again. Now it seems like the different scents have blended nicely with each other and I really like it. Iâm trying to like Fleur Narcotique. All I get is moss and none of the fruits and florals. Iâm hoping it will grow on me.
Iâm so glad you said this, I have a sample of Deja Vu and had brushed it off. But itâs sat there for months and itâs a perfect spring day so I decided to try it again. Very pretty! Iâm definitely getting more vanilla and less cloying flowers. I might pick up a mini to try it more, thank you!
@@MychelleBellydance oh youâre welcome! I didnât think much of it when I first smelled it but now I love it! Iâm glad you gave it another try đ
I quite enjoy Deja Vu, it's a lovely fragrance from their line up!
That's so interesting! I get a load of florals and musk from Fleur Narcotique, and I wish the fruits popped more :)
@@AnneLauren that is interesting. Iâm a fruity floral girl. Thatâs what I was hoping to get from FN. Iâm hanging on to it, hoping it will grow on me.
I love Angelique Noire, the price has stopped me as I can buy 2 really nice fragrances for the price of that one. Yum Pistachio đ€ź. I'm trying to decide between Violet Shot and Iris Shot. I need to test them side by side one last time before I purchase (I'll do the 15 ml because they do last and I don't need 100 ml). I'm thinking of blind buying the Vanilla Planifora, I've never returned a fragrance to Nordstrom so I won't feel guilty if I have to return.
Totally understand, I like to get my private line Guerlains either from Selfridges or second hand to save some $. I agree, the 15ml size is perfect, and fragrancesline.com has samples of Vanilla Planifolia in case you're looking for where you can try it
Anne what do you think of Armani Magenta Tanzanite?
I think it's great! Here's a link to my review :) czcams.com/video/xaZCuMxftP0/video.html
@@AnneLaurenThank you đ„° I watched everything on your channel but I forgot about that review đ
We share love for 20 perfumes (so far đ§ââïž) and your reviews made me buy them
Thank you Anne for the best descriptions,I can smell a perfume through your words đđ
@@anyamartinovic I appreciate your support so much! No worries at all, I talk about a lot đ I'm so glad I've been able to introduce some gems into your life đ„čđ
Hi Anne,
How do you handle it if someone asks what youâre wearing and itâs G WaterâŠdo you tell them the full name? Does that become an awkward situation because of the nameâs controversy? Thatâs what Iâm wondering about G Water if I were to ever own it. Iâm not saying the name is problematic for everyone, but I know it might be for some people, and I just want to be sensitive to that.
I havenât smelled G Water yet, but Iâd like to sample.
Yes I give them the full name so they have the full information they need if they're interested in it, I haven't had anyone react negatively about it, but there are a lot of fragrances that smell comparable to it that you could get instead. Tocca Colette, Commodity Gold Expressive, and Les Soeurs de Noe Call Me Iris are quite similar :)
@@AnneLauren Thank you, thatâs very helpful. I actually adore Commodity Gold, and I tried Eau Duelle at your recommendation as well and went through the 50ml pretty quickly. Vanilla is my favorite note too, but I donât always like it linear. I love floral vanillas, like Xerjoff Allende, musky vanillas, aromatic or green vanillas, which you often recommend and I add them to my to-sample list. I own Dama Bianca now because I had to try it after hearing your reviews, and its gorgeous.
Can anyone tell me where I can get a sample of Chloe Vanilla Plantifolia?

What do you layer venom of love with pls?
Replica Jazz Club, MFK BR540, BDK Velvet Tonka, and Zara Ebony Wood to name a few :)
@@AnneLauren Thanks for the quick reply. I only have Venom of love and BR540 from the list,and I can't wait to try it. Additionally, Is this a Fall/ winter combo for you?
@@UcheGustke of course! And yes, I personally only wear Venom of Love in the fall and winter :)
I find that VOL layers really well with fragrances with wood, tobacco, vanilla, & booze đ€đŒ
@@AnneLauren Thanksâ€
Cuir beluga smells like cherry cough syrup to me. Admittedly my nose has been struggling since I had a bad bout with Covid in December 2022
I'm sorry to hear that :(
On the initial blast, I got that too. However, I donât perceive it that way anymore. I believe itâs the tangerine, other notes, and aldehydes that give that impression. The dry down is to die for though! Nothing smoother on the market imo.
Your eyebrows are too perfect it bothers me đ
omg thank you â€ïžđ©
Unfortunately none of my current fragrances are wowing me - I seriously dislike the patchouli in Kayali Vanilla 28, I have no idea why I m not loving my travel spray of Black Opium (Iâm not smelling any vanilla) and while I enjoyed Arabian Vanilla in the beginning, now Iâm not enjoying it. đ€đ€·đœââïž
