FOUR MONTHS OF RANDOM PERFUME REVIEWS AND FOOTAGE THAT I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH | TheTopNote

- This week I have cobbled together a bit of a vlog comprising four months of random reviews and footage that I didn't know what to do with. Clips I had never used, and reviews that I thought I would revisit but didn't. Several failed attempts at a weekly vlog where I ended up filming only one clip lol.
So, its long and random but hopefully you enjoy.

Love this type of video. Also just need to say that I truly appreciate your transparency, candor, and genuineness... it's what makes you and your videos so enjoyable. 🤗
Agree!
Thank you both! 🙏
This morning I was watching old videos 🎉❤ I was happily surprised to see the upload notification.
Your channel is my go to comfort videos to watch❤
Oh thats so cool haha thank you for watching. ❤
Oh Cherie, I think your experiment went very well!!! Really enjoyed this vid! Xxx
Yay! Im so glad because the couple of "vlog" style videos Ive done I have had so much fun with editing! Much more fun than just talking head and cutting out "um"'s and "ah"'s. I WILL do more!
You actually have a point on built in camera filters, thanks so much for showing us your eye wrinkles for real to make us feel better about having them too ❤ This is an important message especially towards younger viewers that are currently being bombarded by beauty content with filters on, making them think they are ugly and feeling bad about themselves, with contents creators are actually lying to them…
Thank you I will! I have a lot of fun editing these types of videos, I would like to do more of them - I just need to get better at remembering to film daily snippets!
Oh…. Wow… the phone part is STUNNING! Somehow more alive - and you look a bit mischievous - eyes more sparkly and cheeky. Smoothed out is beautiful too of course. But the glittering eyes in the phone camera are something else.
And the black boots were definetly more flattering 👍🏻
Greetings from Switzerland
I did look more cheeky! haha thank you and hello!
You look beautiful with any camera. Your inner light comes through, and that is lovely. 🙂 Gorgeous boots. The black you settled on look fabulous and should give you more versatility. Good choice!
I agree about the boots, I need to be able to wear them for more than just one type of outfit haha
Cherie, your perfume cabinet looks amazing! All the Shalimar bottles together 😍
I’ve really enjoyed this vlog and Poppy is such a beautiful and happy doggie. I couldn’t stop smiling whenever she appeared. Wishing you & your loved ones a happy Easter 🐣🐰🐇 🤗🤗
Happy easter to you! yes she makes us laugh and smile constantly x
Having seen you in real life Cherie, I can attest that you actually are in fact, quite beautiful! Thanks (kinda) for telling us about the Nest perfume oils… I love perfume oils and will have to make an effort to smell those. Samples of oils in shops rarely smells so good, do you find that? Maybe because they’ve been opened so much. I have one from Meeka, the Hydrating Body Oil, that I adore. I’m on my second bottle of that.
Great video Cherie. Have a wonderful Easter break… nice weather again… that was unexpected after last weeks rain! 🥰
thanks Nell, you are very kind. I actually havent smelled that many oils in shops, I dont know why but with oils I tend to just take a punt, but yes I think oils can go rancid pretty quickly maybe? Especially as unlike perfume which you spritz so the container is never really "open" the oils you have to open the container so they probably oxidise pretty quickly.
You look gorgeous in the phone camera too. Thank you for your transparency.
Thanks! Yeah I feel its important that people are reminded that what you see is not always reflective of reality! I need that reminder too, sometimes. x
So nice to hear how you select a scent and then see the environment/outfit that this scent travels through. The black boots are more versatile and look great 😘. On a side note, I’m drawn to the warm coziness of white musk w/ florals, sandalwood or vanilla/amber scents. Please recommend some that you enjoy. Thank you! ( ❤️🐕)
Ok! I will have a play with the wardrobe and see what I dig up, thank you for the request 😍
@TheTopNote. Just noticed that you posted a “short” on Pretty Musks back in Dec 2022. Definitely looking into these. Still ALWAYS interested in any new pretty musks that you discover. 😃
We need more of this type of video! I love that we see a bit of your day, love the clothing inspo and also seeing Poppy!! ❤
Yay! Thank you! More to come!
OMG I love bois de Turquie so much, means Turkey wood, great oriental perfume ❤
It's so good! I have been loving my sample, so grateful she sent me this!
I love your hair so much. It's so good to see women as they were meant to be. And it brings out the color of your eyes too
Thank you! Its funny though, lately I have been really wanting to try experimenting with brown, not because I don't like my hair as it is but just because I want to try it, Im not sure it would work though. Also Im too lazy for the upkeep.
@@TheTopNote I think light hair really works for you. It's almost ethereal together with your eyes. But that's just my opinion 😅
Cannot concentrate on the lovely set of perfumes or anything because of…Poppy ❤. She’s just adorable. I’m happy for you alll having each other. To be fair, also the perfume stuff’s wonderful 😊, thank you.
Haha she tends to have that effect. Sometimes I literally just lie on the couch with her for ages and just observe how adorably cute she is.
I watched an old video of yours, 15 bombastic, because of it I purchased Cartier La Panthere. Never knew that Cartier even made fragrances but this has quickly become one of my favorites. Thank you!!!
It’s fantastic isn’t it! So glad you are loving it Cathy x
Love the new look of your video 😊
Yay! Thank you!
Great video Cherie! I know someone else mentioned this in another of your other videos, but yes, I absolutely agree that watching your vlogs really feels just like chatting with a friend as your style and way of speaking is so natural, articulate and unpretentious, and very refreshing. 😊 The black boots look amazing on you paired with the jeans & shirt. And with the skin/cameras comparison, I have to say that your skin just looks amazing in both cameras! You can tell that you look after your skin quite well. Anyway, enough rambling. Amanda. x oh, and I also love Hana’s videos, she’s wonderful! ✨
And not forgetting the gorgeous and most adorable Poppy 🥰♥️
Thank you lovely Amanda! Wow getting comments from you is a true confidence booster! Appreciate you 🙏
@@TheTopNote You’re so welcome! ☺️ You put so much effort into your videos and for me, they’re very calming and such a safe space to be in this often mad world! Being an introverted HSP as I am, the world can be challenging to navigate at times. Your videos and chatty perfume talk about my most favourite hobby, are the perfect antidote. ✨
I loved your random videos and although I love fragrances, the highlight for me was Poppy's adorable face🥰
I would like to try Pikovaya Dama.
Your expression and reaction to Eau Lente is exactly how I felt about it when I tried it in the store. It blew me away and I bought it. Hard to be impressed after you smell so much, but it still happens once in a while! Lise Watier is the brand for Neiges in case anyone is wondering.
Thank you Henna! Haha yes I think I will have to visit Diptique when we are next overseas now...
Hi Chérie! Lise Watier is an iconic makeup brand in my province of Quebec (Canada) and Neiges was the perfume all my aunts wore when I was younger. OMG I could smell it through the screen and it brought back so many memories! I’m 50 and I think I’m still too young to wear it because of the all references! 😂
That's so funny, I have ones like that too! It's all about association!
Try layering the Nest Balinese Coconut oil under Blanche Bette - it’s so lovely!
Here is a another compliment I guess... your skin has a very nice glow, with wrinkles too! I do not see myself with superlong boots either, the black are super beautiful. Sidney looks like the next place to go for me and my family, so cool, we need to start saving money haha
Thanks Sonia! Yes! Go to Sydney and let me know when you do, I'll come and see you!! x
Ohhhhh I love those boots and the dress. Bummer the didn’t work out for you. Lovely vlog Cherie. Did a lot watching you lol, put salmon in the over for dinner and sipping coffee. Thanks for the workout motivation ☺️ Love the black boots on you better 😉
Love it! I made yogurt. Lol
@@breannacarels6479 Yessss 💖🙌😅🙌
Oooh I've never done that, is it hard? I love yogurt I go through so much of it that we did say a few months ago maybe we should make it at home instead.
Love a productive YT session Marce! haha
I love this video, and I think you are beautiful! Whether it’s iPhone or Sony, just gorgeous! Also, I’m in a Facebook group with Henna in Canada and I agree, she’s wonderful with a very impressive collection ❤️
Loved this vlog style. Some great perfume recommendations and I really liked the green nail polish you were wearing at the beginning. Poppy’s hopeful expression when you mentioned burgers😂 glad she got a bit 😊
Haha yes the green nails were my attempt at being Festive but I confess I didn’t love it lol
I love your every day story. Your burgundy dress is beautiful.
Thank you so much! Yeah I really love it too, so easy to wear! x
Love seeing your collection! You should start your own decant business ❤
I have definitely thought about it, but I think it would be quite stressful!
About a week ago, the algorithm showed me a video of yours from a couple years ago recommending comforting perfumes… and you recommended Ormond Jayne’s Xi’an. My bottle arrived today and it is just as lovely as you described. What an outstanding recommendation! ❤
Sorry to pop on this video’s comments just to say “thank you” for a different video’s recommendation, but I enjoy your reviews and thoughts and I’m really very grateful!
No apologies necessary! Thank you for taking the time I really appreciate it :) I’m so pleased you found a love. That one is very special x
I have Solaris and enjoy it very much. Not too sweet, which I appreciate. Enjoyed he vlog!
Not going to lie Jim, I’m really on the edge of purchasing it before next summer …it very addictive!
I loved this vlog style! Your attic space looks awesome! Sorry about the boots! I don't think that length looks flattering on a lot of people, though. Eau Lente sounds amazing, I'm making a note of trying that one if I get the chance.
True - I did have a suspicion that they wouldnt work but I just loved the colour so much I had to be certain.
I love this vlog, it's like a warm comfy blanket of content❤
I'm so glad! Thank you for the lovely feedback.
And I used to wear Neige for a bit right when it came out!!!❤
So good, thank you!
I love Solaris precisely because of that freshness. I am glad there is no coconut or too heavy on the ylang or tiare. It's not cloying at all. I can't wait for it to warm up here in England so I can wear it 🍋
same I really enjoy it! I am contemplating a bottle, we will see 😉
Hi Cherie ❤ totally agree on what you said about Love Delight by Amouage. 😊
Love this! What a great way to keep my commute fun: I did see the shopping cart in the middle of the field as I was pulling into the driveway! 😂
It was so random haha thanks for always supporting Chris!
Love your vibe and this type of blog!
Yay! Thank you!
Loved the video and thanks for sharing 😊
Really enjoyed this video. Your dog is so sweet!
Thank you! I had a lot of fun with this format. Poppy is the cutest. Definitely crazy, but cute.
@@TheTopNote❤😂
Would love to see you do a video that’s all one product line: diptyque, amouage, dustia etc
I definitely should do this :) thank you!
I wore Neiges by Lise Watier when I got married. I really liked it then, but now I can't wear it anymore. At the beginning of my pregnancy, I couldn't stand any smells ..everything was making me nauseous and now, whenever I smell it, that feeling comes back..too bad..because I really liked it
Oh thats such a shame! I had a friend who had that so bad in her pregnancy as well, her nose was so sensitive that sometimes she would even detect if someone had used a shower gel! Poor thing must have been really hard going about in the world when even the most vaguest of scents could throw you off.
I feel sorry for anyone who deals with nausea..I had it for both pregnancies.I love coffee and even the smell of coffee was a no go for me..Good thing that didn't stop me from drinking coffee after:)
Lovely Cherie thank you for posting this. I appreciate your channel.
Thanks for watching!
Hi lovely. I actually liked how you looked on the short footage filmed by your phone. Maybe because you look the way I know you I guess? And I think you look great in real life!
That turn with your dog at 1:53 is probably in every dog parents repertoire! 😂
😂😂😂💯
I loved your video, vlog style and talking about your scent of the day, lady white snake got me curious , hope you do more of this kind of videos, kisses!
Definitely!! Thank you! LWS is definitely worth checking out and make sure you let it warm up on the skin before making any conclusions. The opening is lovely but the dry down has something special that I cannot put my nose on!
Hi Cherie! What is the peanut butter please? I love PB! Would also love to know what your makeup base is bcos you do look fresh faced even without the no filter filter. Enjoy your Easter break.
Thanks! For face I have been using a sample of Chanel’s Sublimage Le Teint and I mix it in with some Bobby Brown face base before applying it. Then once it’s dried I add a tiny bit of powder to tone down the extra glowiness. 😂
Oh and PB: it’s actually just called “Ridiculously Delicious” peanut butter, our local grocer stocks it. ridiculouslydelicious.com.au/
I barely discovered your channel and your videos are so soothing ang pleasant to watch ❤️❤️❤️
Welcome, and thank you!!
Literally was just about to comment and ask about your makeup and then you brought up how on point it is! We have very similar coloring...would love to know what foundation you use?
Thanks! haha when I was editing I was trying to remember what I was wearing on my face because I want to try and replicate it! My go-to lately has been a chanel foundation that I have a sample tube of. Its the Sublimage Le Teint, I think. It is quite thick (I guess its a cream foundation?) and what I do is mix a small dollop in with a dollop of bobby brown face base and that seems to help it melt into my skin and actually look like skin, instead of foundation sitting on skin. Its my favourite combo at the moment but when I run out of the sample I might just try doing the face base/foundation mix using any old foundation and see how it works. I expect it should do the same thing. I did put a tiny TINY bit of powder over the top, the one I currently have is the Nikkia Joy one - I really like it, it has a very velvety finish (I think it might actually be called Velvet Finish or something) and it still lets the dewyness come through.
would really enjoy a video by you about the lart et la matiere series by guerlain
Sure! I have sold a couple in the last year or two which occassionally I have a tinge of regret over but happy to talk through what's there in my wardrobe!
You are beautiful no matter which camera you use. The black boots are 👌!!!!
Thanks Lovely, cant wait to wear them!
This was fun to watch!
Im glad! There will be more :)
💙💙💙💙
❤

Also which Sony camera are you using? I've been filming on my iPhone this whole time, and ready for an upgrade. I was thinking about the Canon M50 but if the Sony reverse ages...I'll probably spring for that! LOL!
Sony Zv-1! I will say though, I prefer the Canon in many ways. I think the Canon is more versatile and is good for photos too. where is I have never use the Sony for taking photos. You can also change out the lenses on the Canon, but the Sony is only a point and shoot with a built-in lens . The Sony is smaller and better for “on the go” and interestingly, even though most people say Canon has the better colours, I actually have been preferring the colours that I’m getting out of the Sony - and there you go, everyone now knows what a technology hack I am! 😂
This is so helpful, thank you!!
Loved the blog! I think the boots are too high, they need to be below the knee
💯 agree!
I love a high waisted wide leg pant, so chic. Ok let’s finish watching. They layer ❤
Yaass! 🙌
❤️🔥🤗
❤
good morning
Good morning to you! ☀️
you are a beautiful woman, don't care
Haha thank you!
