Yay for affordable! I’ve been questioning who I even am at the prices I’ve considered paying for fragrances lately. No, Lauren, you do NOT need a 250 ml carafe of anything by kilian. I need a perfume purchasing detox…
Right!
Hahaha I feel you!! I have to talk myself out of certain purchases or even sampling certain fragrances cause I don’t even want to fall in love with something that’s more expensive than I’m willing to pay for 😅
Let me know when you find a rehab for us!
A CARAFE😂😂😂
This is so real 😭 I’ve decided to not buy more till I finish a few bottles but it’s so tough.
Le Labo, MFK, Vilhelm Parfumerie and Byredo are obscenely expensive in South Afrika ! It's crazy ! I am only willing to buy the discovery sets and use them sparingly. Thank you for this video, the dupes are definitely more accessible and more affordable.
You knocked it outta the park on this comparison video. You sold me in both the high end scents, as well as the dupes! You're incredible! What great explanations too, Anna! I can't wait to get a few of these to add to my multitudinous collection!!!
Thank you so much!!
Girl you're gonna make me blind buy Fancy and Gypsy water 😂😂
I´ve probably seen Anne´s videos like 10 times each! I´m quite obsessed lol
Her passion for perfumes is evident in her vivid descriptions. Love it!
I went from liking you because you had sweet and acurate Disney comparisons, to hating you for your brutal sometimes snooty, fragrance disses, to LOVING 🎉 your raw awesome honesty. Love it! Love you!!! Gotta fan!!!!!
Okay I’m subscribed!!! I love how you describe each scent. I am slowly entering the niche world. I literally just ordered sandal 33 and Another 13 and santal vanille. I do want to get gypsy water. I need to just make the leap. It’s sooo good.
Finally, a 'refreshed' list of perfume alternatives. Thank you
I think I’ve found my
Fragrance Channel your descriptions and personality speak to my soul ❤😂 love from Ireland 🇮🇪
Very detailed and informative video. I’ve been wanting to try the Commodity line. 😁 thanks Anne!
Thank you so much!
Great Video. I’ve loved and tried many of these.
I know not everyone is into dupes but if you are open to them, the Alt. Fragrance version of G. Water is amazing. They call it Bohemian Water. Commodity Gold is beautiful but there is something to special about G. Water. I was wearing Bohemian Water in the grocery store the other day, turned the corner of an aisle and two women were like.. “oh it’s you that smells so good! We smelled something amazing and just realized that’s it’s you” I also got comments that same day in the pet food store!! Anyhow it’s a great alternative for those who can’t afford the real deal. Very aromatic..
Thanks for the great video!!
Awe, Love Chris she is super sweet, so cool she sent you that full bottle!!😍 Great vid, so good ones in here, think I am gonna revisit my fancy!!💕
The sweetest!!
Great video! Gypsy Water is one of my favorite fragrances so I'll definitely check out your recommend alternative.
Thank you! First time watching one of your videos and will now subscribe. ☺️I love the gaudy yet elegant Orientica bottles you showed and now I want one! Sometimes I just collect the bottles themselves but I adore perfume and have since I was around 10 years old.
Hahah they definitely give me a bit of a medieval sorcerer vibe 😝❤️
I bought a travel size of skylar's salt air and omg you are so right about it. Its so damn delicious and addicting smelling while being aquatic and summertime without the sunscreen smell. Its a vibe and I love it!
ahh I'm so glad you're loving it!! 😍
Anthropologie as doing 20% off some of their perfumes right now, including Floral Street, Skylar, Nest, Ellis Brooklyn, Tocca, Imaginary Authors, etc if anyone wants extra savings
My favorite fragrance from Juliette Has A Gun is Vanilla Vibes. In the heat of summer it smells like you just came off the beach and you've been sunbathing in the richest tanning lotion. Bronze Goddess vibes. Love it!
This is exactly the kind of video I’ve been wanting! Thank you for sharing your expertise 💕
Aw I’m so glad! 🤍
I love your channel, but this is one of my favorites of all your videos! I could watch these dup/same vibes videos all day long
awe thank you!!
What a fun video!!!!!!🙌❤️❤️🙏🏻And I’m so glad you will get good use from Wild Orchid Vanilla!! 🥰
I will!! Thank you again, Chris!! ❤️❤️❤️
I got a decant of Salt Air and OMG, I’m in looooooooveeee!!! Thank you for recommending it!
Yayyy!!! Ah such a lovely scent 😍😍
I bought amber rouge bc of you, exact dupe. And I got fancy by JS. Thanks you’re great!
Another 13 had me at HELLO! My daughter is also obsessed with it.
You got me to try Another 13 and I love it! I was able to order it through Costco and it was on sale! I really want to try the skylar one since I missed out on coconut fizz.
Ahhh so good 😍 yes! Salt Air is beautiful!!
I LOVE Skylar’s Salt Air. It’s my favorite Skylar too and I’m in their scent club.
My favorite dupe for SDV is La Nuit Tresor A La Folie. They share so many of the same notes! Love layering them too.
I’m not a fan of that one but I feel like everyone else is! 😝
I'm looking for a dupe of A La Folie, since it's discontinued. What is SDV? 😁
I know I'm watching this video late n have only just come across you a few videos ago but I love you on coffee! Your vids are awesome!
Great affordable fragrance video!
Love this video!! So helpful!!
I think you might like Colette by Tocca if you enjoy Byredo’s Gypsy Water! The bottle is super cute too!
oo you're right!! I've heard that one being compared to G Water! I bought it for my sister a couple years ago actually, I'll have to revisit it 😍
@@AnneLauren Funny thing is, I had the gypsy water hand cream first, which smells different than the perfume! Way more pine, but in the most amazing way!
But yes if you do revisit it, let me know what you think! 😊💕
Spot on with BR540 dupe: Amber Rouge👍🏼👍🏼
You sound just like my beloved gal friend. I love your description of each fragrance because I can definitely relate and understand you!!
Honestly, I just bought Poets of Berlin and I'm obsessed 😍
What a great video… I have Champagne taste on a beer budget lol….. I own a bottle of br540 but I prefer the extrait version. Do you have a dupe for that one or something close? I’ve visited your channel a few times but had to finally subscribe. I appreciate a reviewer who gives an honest opinion and I feel you do a honest review. Thank you … love your Chanel have been binge watching all day.
Thank you so much Lisa! 🤍 Some people find Orientica Amber Rouge to be more of a dupe of the extrait, so I'd recommend getting a sample and deciding if it's what you're looking for or not?
Amber oud rouge is an amazing dupe of the extrait. I have both and i would def recommend 😘
"a hot man...in nature" new subscriber! Love how you describe scents. Now binge watching ur fragrance vids
I'm so glad you got a chance to sample Milky Musk and love it! I recommend it to everyone who appreciates minimalist, unisex scents and enjoys lactonic woodiness, because that one gets it so right. Also, I'm one of those weird fragrance lovers who can't always tolerate wearing something bold, and often gets headachey and annoyed by my own fragrance 😂 However, that one never bothers me, and is still really interesting and unique.
absolutely!! It's the perfect choice for that 😍
Anne, I love your recommendations and I know you love guerlain double vanille. I tried it for the first time since I have an obsession over vanilla as well. I Iove you girl, but the base note is so mature. I wanted to scrub it off my arm. Other than that, all your recommendations are always spot on. 😌😚
What blush are you wearing? It looks so freaking pretty!
Love this video and love Jessica Simpson fancy! I just got it off your recommendation
What a great list! TFS!
Thank you!
Wonderful recommendations here beautiful ! 💞
Thank you! 🤍
LOOOVVEE THIS KIND OF VIDEOS😍 LOVE CLONE PERFUMES FOR LESS MONEY😍 PLEASE DO MORE VIDEOS LINE THOSE🙏🏻
Have you tried Commodity Bois? I just got the archive sampler set and Bois wasn’t one that I expected to like but I’m obsessed!
May I ask what blush you are wearing? It is absolutely gorgeous!
Completely agree with Gold being a comparable dupe for GWater! I personally own both for exactly the reasons you mentioned (gold is more “streamlined” sexy amber vanilla, GWater is complex and bright). I’m surprised you don’t like By The Fireside by Replica, such similar notes!
Always love your videos! I totally didn't understand Santal Vanille until I tried Santal 33, now I love them both. Speaking of Le Labo...maybe you should do a review on their city exclusives??? I'd love to hear your review!
Thank you! 🤍 I'd love to explore their city exclusives, but their price tag is outrageous 😭
@@AnneLauren it's...a lot. We need Le Labo to send you samples :P
So so so glad to see you eliminate the g-word!! I know the perfume is one of your faves and it’s such a gorgeous scent and i’ve been waiting and waiting for the fragrance community to catch on to the g-word being a slur. I always appreciate the way your describe scents beyond just the notes, and this is yet another reason I’ll continue to enjoy your channel. The fragrance world was able to shift to calling scents “Amber” so I hope more fragrance reviewers will follow your lead with this one.
Will continue to follow you and hype you up!!!!!!! 🙌🏼💗✨
Thank you! 🤍 It was actually a couple of subscribers who pointed this out to me, I had no idea it was a slur before then! Grateful to them for bringing attention to it
Anne, every single time I watch one of your videos I end up adding to cart! Thank you, I think 🤔 😊
Omg! 😆🤍
Ok you have me very intrigued by floral street!
Omg you have to try those two! 🤍 Unless Poets of Berlin isn't for you, then I can tell you Wild Vanilla Orchid won't be either haha
Thank you appreciated this
I’m letting Vanilla 28 sit until the fall. I like when the juice gets darker, it smells better.
It definitely has a different tone when it's darker 😍
I mixed “Coconuts” from Sundays forever with Salt Air and omg! You need to try! Haha
ooo that sounds bomb!
I get more compliments on that Jessica Simpson perfume more than any other - including very expensive brands!
I can imagine!! So yummy 😍
Def a crowd pleaser. Fancy is also great for layering. The flankers are interesting too.
Omgeeeee. I’m dying for a bottle of milky musk too!
It’s so underrated!!
Thanks for all the dupe info you shared, and Chris (The PerfumeNest) is a true sweetheart ❤️💞💖 I love your videos, aka The Groupie🤣🤣🤣
Anne I genuinely, strongly believe youd absolutely die for She Was Anomaly by EDO…. Please trust me and try it xxx ❤
When you mentioned the cartoon character and featured Mickey Mouse, it occurred to me that you’re waaay too young to know Pepe Le Pew 🦨 the OG, you have to look him up when he follows a scent trail!! 😂
Dark, bold, and sexy 🤔🤔 yes, that’s definitely my type of fragrance (adds to wishlist)
I have never thought of Santal 33 as infamous. I thought it was widely loved by most
I put on Poets in the morning and then use Floral Street throughout the day.
Great idea!
This video is everything!!!! Next could you do a video on Bedtime Fragrances? I like to shower at night and get into bed and don’t know what fragrance would be good. Love the woody scents like you!
thank you!! Oh my gosh, yes! 🤍
Tocca Colette is a great alternative to gypsy water, too. 😍
It doesn’t last…
Hi Anne! Excited to watch, but first can u give the blush you're wearing, please?!!!
It’s the bare minerals Gen Nude Powder Blush in Bellini Brunch :)
@@AnneLauren Thank you! Its so pretty!
I also prefere Santa Vanille ❤️ I really love it so much.
so so good 😍😍!
That's it! Everytime I here you talk about Sunnyside Up I sit up straight👀😆 I'm adding to cart...now!🏃🏿♀️
I love it so much 😍😍 I hope you do as well!
I actually just blind bought Zara's dupe for Gypsy Water. Fingers crossed because as pretty as the smell is, i can barely smell it so I cannot justify paying for a bottle of the real deal. I also just ordered a sample of Another 13. 😅 I think Salt Air reminds me of a Calgon body spray from the 90's! I can't remember the name but it was blue. It also reminds me of Replica Bubble Bath.
By Rosie Jane - Lake is a great alternative to Byredo Gypsy Water!😀
What do you think about dossier perfumes?
So many obsessions, so little shelf space!
Great review and perfums greetings from the Netherlands
thank you! 🤍
Love your vids! Poets of Berlin & Wild Vanilla Orchid were made by the same perfumer
Have you tried Tocca Colette? To me it's a very good Gypsy Water dupe and a tremendous compliment-getter. The Gypsy Water is more complex and fresher up front, but I find the drydowns to be almost indistinguishable.
Years ago, yes! I actually bought it for my sister, I’ll have to revisit it :)
It doesn’t last…
Great video, very interesting and usefull🥰. Thank you so much 😊🤗🤍
thank you! 🤍
Hi Anne! I was just curious if you have tried Julianna’s perfumes and their dupe for Baccarat? I think it’s called Aurora.
Hi! I have a video reviewing a bunch of Julianna's Perfumes! I haven't tried Aurora yet though! czcams.com/video/-1fJME-c1Jo/video.html
Thank you for a great video, exactly what I needed! Just an idea…. Can you do a video on what your boyfriend likes on you or compliment getters?
Thank you! I actually have videos on both of those topics!

Hearing you talk about the Orientica makes me regret buying oud bouquet! :(
It’s a great option for when you run out! 😘
Where can I find Le Labo in person? I'd love to sample these
Have you, by chance, tried the Henry Rose fragrances? I recently ordered the warm samples and I have a feeling you might like Torn and Dark is Night. I’m thinking about ordering dark is night for a fall evening fragrance. Would love to hear your review for that house. Also, I’m on my third bottle of another 13.😂
I have! I loveeee Queens & Monsters, that’s on my wishlist! And I currently have a sample of Dark is Night, have yet to try that one :)
@@AnneLauren I wanted to love queens and monsters and thought I would based on reviews and notes, but it went weird on me...smelled plastic or something strange. My husband smelled it on me and said nope...So true that people need to try everything on THEIR SKIN before making a decision. I’m as a little disappointed.
@@AnneLauren An update...after trying queens and monsters multiple times, I love it now and have a bottle on the way.😂 Something was weird that first time....now it’s a creamy sandalwood and so beautiful. I’m getting a travel size of dark is night so I can wear it for date nights this fall. Would love to hear your opinions on all the Henry Rose line...also the fresh ones.
@@conservativegirl3371 omg no way! 😍 yesss beautiful creamy sandalwood 😁
When I saw Santal 33 , I knew what was coming lol .. great vid !
You already know! 😆🙌🏼
@@AnneLauren 😂 yup
Can someone please let me know if there is a good dupe for giorgeo armani si intense.. the blk bottle.. gotta be the blk bottle.. they don't make it anymore 💔 my late husband bought it for me and I really need that sent!
I think I need to give Santal 33 another try! It smelled like a dill salad on a co worker…..so I never thought it was for me. But maybe it will smell different on me!!!! 😂
I feel like once you smell something, it's hard to "unsmell it" 😂 But maybeee, maybe, I could be wrong 😅!
@@AnneLauren oh my goodness that is true isn’t it? 😉❤️
Lost In Santal from the new limited Luxury Edition Bath & Body Works is said to be the exact dupe of Santal 33. Their Pink Obsessed is the closest dupe ever created to Born in Roma
Lost in Santal has: Sandalwood, Cardamon, Cedarwood
One youtuber said she thought Zara’s Rich Warm Addictive is a dupe for The 7 Virtues Vanilla Wood.
Would you agree? Very curious to know! (Cannot test it myself because 7 virtues is not available where I live)
I would say no - I have both. Vanilla Woods smell similar to Al Rehab Golden Sand, MK Midnight Shimmer, Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Iconique or Sol Cheirosa 40... if you are familiar with any of those - they’re all very pretty close!
Was looking for a cheaper alternative to BR540 but I got the latex/hospital smell in Amber Rouge unfortunately, that I didn't get in BR540.
bummer!
Anneke, thank you for that description - latex/hospital smell. I get this from Clinique Happy when I have worn it! Sums it up so well. Kind of a rubber or tire scent comes out on me. I have no idea what note it is. And I love the perfume! 😫 will pass my bottle on unfortunately.
Would you do a review of DUA?
Could you do Vilhelm Parfumerie review please
What is the name of the dupe of 540
Do you think Commodity Book is a dupe for Santal 33? I see that comparison a lot on fragrantica
Not at all! But, they are in the same fragrance family and there is that memorable sandalwood that’s in both :) so you can pick up that DNA but I wouldn’t call it a dupe, Book is taken in a different direction
I have sampled Gyspy water a few times, but on my skin it smells like lemon and vanilla. Your discription is what I am looking for, to me that is Eau Duelle, have You tried EDP of Eau Duelle? You must!
I own it! I’ve raved about it in several videos ☺️
@@AnneLauren Yes, I know, You own the EDT formulation, but EDP is even better! Longer lasting, more projecting but still airy and spicy.
@@kristinetimofejeva9773 I have a decant of the EDP, planning on getting it after I run out of the EDT :)
I finally have a 10ml decant of sdv coming my way. I just have to get my nose on it after all this time!
Ahhhh my love 😍😍🙌🏼
I got a sample of Angelique Noir yesterday and I LOVE it even more than sdv. You might want to sample it. Really unique vanilla,musk,amber with Angelica seeds.
One spray lash night and I could smell it this morning! Beautiful warm and Sexy. I'll definitely get a decant of this! Happy scent journey.
Another 13 = Allure Chanel-its dryout actually -I don’t like neither of them personally but to me they are so clise to each other if not the same
How would you compare reminiscence dragee to whiff of a waffle cone? I really enjoy dragee and am interested in waffle cone but im worried it might be a tad too sweet for my liking
They’re very different scents! In terms of sweetness, I’d say the sweet notes in WOAW are sweeter, however, because of that woody smelling base, Dragee ends up smelling sweeter overall. Dragee also has more of a powdery, dainty, fluffy feel to it, where the sweet notes in WOAW are realistic, creamy, gourmand :)
@@AnneLauren ooh ok makes sense, i will check it out then ive been craving more creamy fragrances lately : )
I think I may have asked before (and please forgive me if you answered, and I didn’t see your reply), but is Commodity Gold or Tocca Colette the closer alternative for G Water? Thanks!
Don’t bother with Tocca. It does not last 😢
Have you gotten your nose on the Atelier Materi line? I saw Santal Blond, and I immediately thought “That’s gotta be an Anne scent.” I want to try their discovery set and add Santal Blond since it’s not in the set 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️. The description screams Anne in a bottle. I was just curious if you’ve managed to sniff yet. Id be disappointed if you said it really isn’t all that. Lol I think I’m going to try the samples. The Bois d’Ambrette seems like it might be something you’d enjoy, too.
Sooooo… if you do get your nose on that line, I’m requesting your review. 😀 Sometimes listening to honest reviews helps me with scents that I’m not sure if I like or not. It gives me a chance to think about and appreciate the fragrances for what they are (whether or not I fall in love with them). You’re the reason I pulled the trigger on Poets of Berlin. It was definitely a like when I tried, but initially a “meh” kind of like. Your review helped me appreciate the notes and experience that fragrance in a much different way. It’s a LOVE now. 😁
Novel complete. 😂😂😂
You know what, I actually have a bunch of samples from the house on their way 😍 You're right!! Totally looks right up my alley, I can't wait to try them!!
And I'm so glad you're loving Poets of Berlin! It was a big like for me at first and now it's a total love 😝❤️
Does Orientica project well? Thank you
It does :)
Clicked sooooo fast 😄
😘❤️🥰
Girl.. new big fan. Love your scent profile. I want you to review one of my #1 favorite perfumes that's discontinued. Fragrance Revival brought it back. Pleasures Delight by EL (I've been in beauty industry since mid 90's) and it's my favorite. Patchouli. Marshmallow. Strawberry, Vanilla. Please please check it out!!
Do you think fancy is wearable in summer?
It’s personally too sweet for me to wear in the summer, but wear what you like!
Love this!! Where did you purchase amber rouge from??
FragranceNet.com :)
Looks like Amazon has it too! 🙂
@@AnneLauren thank youuuu!!
Where do you live? I can understand you very well. Normally my English is so bad but you speak so clear that I understand all what you said 👍
awe thank you! I'm in California :)
