I sampled Celeste, and Chris is right the opening is a little intense and sweet, but that dry down! To me it smells like roasted berries, in a warm, edible caramelized basket, topped with candied violet powder. But not overly gourmand is that makes any sense at all. 😆 I just may need it in the spring.
Oh my gosh I love that description!!
Oh man! So...I heard everyone rave and rave about Bianco Latte - to the point that I blind bought it but had the attitude like I almost wanted to dislike it! Lol...Like, give it up people - it can't be that good! Boy was I wrong! I was blown away by Bianco Latte! I have like 300 bottles of fragrances in my collection and I have never found a fragrance since before I started really getting into collecting fragrance 3-4 years ago - that I was like, "This is my signature scent!" (I don't really believe in signature scents lol) I mean, there was a time I might have owned only 4-5 fragrances at any given time - So, I guess THOSE were my signature scents...? Anyway, yeah - Bianco Latte is my signature scent now! I was very impressed with the quality for the price as well...Giardini Di Toscana is amazingly reasonable and I love that as well - So, now I want to try all the things by this house...I know there are at least two more I need in my collection! LOL! So, thank you for reviewing these for us...and I would LOVE to take that sample set off your hands! It would only help me confirm my choices...Thanks again. Sara (Florida, USA)
I’m glad you love it but there are so many places that sell decants; Scent Split being my current favorite. And of course Lucky Scent. No need to blind buy most things. But glad it worked out. 😉Thanks for staying until the end! I’ve got a handful interested . 😉💕
Oh I just bought all the Theodoris Kalotinis from Scent Split! And Lucky Scent is where I picked up Bianco Latte! I am just bad about blind-buying more than I should...I'm getting better though! 🙃 @@ThePerfumeNest
Just bought the discovery set as well -I normally like freshies and fruity florals but……bianco latte is gonna get me through the short daylight hours of winter with its caramel with a melted marshmallow scent --so good -also loved shabby chic but didn’t dislike any of them -one of the most fun samplers I have ever purchased 🎉thanks Chris for your great videos 🎉
Poison was my signature scent even in the summer lol I didn’t give a bleeep! But I’m in MA! It’s always cold lol! I’m soooo curious about this!!! I’m going to blind buy it 😅
Excellent house review Chris. You know I’m all about discovery sets.
Thank you. Yes I have a weakness for them as well. ❤️
Hey Chris ! Love these house overviews - would love to try the discovery set !
Ok!! Got you on the list!!🥰
Hi beautiful Chris! That’s a great discovery set! I adore Bianco Latte and Bora Bora. Thank you for reviewing these! ❤️❤️
Hi my dear!! I think you would love Celeste and Chabby Chic. 😉💕
Thanks for giving us an overview of this house! I would love to discover it more myself!
Thank you!!
Interested in the discovery set! Thanks for the great video!
Thanks for stopping by!
Perfect house overview!
Thank you!
Aw!! Thank you!!🙏🏻💕💕
Hi Chris, Just ordered the Discovery Set! I’ve only smelled Bora Bora so far, so I’m really excited to try their other scents! Thanks for reviewing this house.
Awesome! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!!
I love Italian perfumery and need to try the discovery set. Thanks for the review Chris and you just get more beautiful every time you do a video!
Aw!! Thank you!!!🙏🏻💕💕🥰
@@ThePerfumeNest it’s the truth Chris. I love your channel and always enjoy your videos. Stay as beautiful and truthful as you are. You are refreshing to watch and your videos are informative and fun to watch. I hope your channel will be around for a long time.
I finally ordered my bottle of Celeste and I can not wait!!🙌🏼🙌🏼💖
Yay! It will be great for the colder months
Hi Chris!! Nice to finally get to see a full house review for Giardini di Toscana 🙌 I'm going to order the discovery set, i'm so curious 💕💕
So many great ones. I thought it was worth every penny.
Great video, so interesting to hear more about this house beyond Bora Bora and Bianco Latte! The Scintilla sounds amazing. Would love to try the discovery set!!
Thank you so much for stopping by! And yes so many get overlooked because of the hype on others. 😉💕
I’ve been so excited for this video!
Aw!!!🙏🏻🥰🥰I’ve got your new one in my queue. Will be listening on drive home tonight! Yay!!
Great video, thank you for the detailed review. I have only tried Bianco Latte and I bought a full bottle, I love it. I need to try all of the others, they sound incredible!
Wow thanks so much for the lovely comment! Bianca Latte is so popular
I have Bianco Latte and love it 🥰!! I got the Discovery Set and I think Celeste will be my next one ! Thanks for the video, Chris 💖 Regards from Portugal🇵🇹
Aw hi there!! Thanks so much for stopping by! It’s such a great set to sample isn’t it? 😀
Really appreciate this house overview!
Thank you! And thanks for stopping by!!!🙏🏻💕
These all sound beautiful! The bottles all look stunning. I can just visualize them displayed on a dressing table. I really like pepper notes so this looks like a house I would enjoy.
Oh my goodness that’s right!! You would love Bianco Oro I think!!!
Hi, Chris. Thank you for a wonderful review. I am interested in the discovery set, please.❤
Ok! Thanks for watching!! Hope you enjoyed
Loving the sweater and lip combo and the message in the frame! I gave into the hype with Bianco Latte with zero regrets so I was curious about the house and purchased a decant of Celeste. I really, really dislike the opening but the dry down is magic. I’ll test a little more to see if I can deal with the opening before I decide if it’s FBW. House reviews are always interesting and helpful to me. Thanks Chris!
Oh my gosh yes I forgot to mention the harsh opening with Celeste on this video! But I did on my one from last week. 😂 yes it’s not my favorite. Take it to the dry down…it’s beautiful.
Thanks so much for reviewing this house. It is just so helpful. And I was curious if liked any scent better than Celeste...didn't sound like it😊Also, thanks for offering up your sample remainders for someone lucky to try. That was so kind.
Aw!! Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving such a lovely comment! Bianca Oro is very very different but so darn segsy! I’ve worn it the most out of all of them, esp as the colder weather is upon us. Celeste is like a nice sweet snow queen whereas Bianca Oro is the femme fatale…😉
So good to see your love for an Italian House! The team at Giardini Di Toscana are amazing and love what they do. Favourites are Celeste and BoraBora ❤.
Aw hopefully you forgive me for my mispronunciations. Italian is probably my favorite language. And I can. Tell they love what they do; the offerings are amazing!!
Ya know what’s funny? When I heard about Bora Bora I got sooo excited as I love coconut and pink pepper together! Now this house has mostly pink pepper ALL over!! But Bora Bora is the only one they didn’t put pink pepper in!?? lol 🤦♀️
❤YAAY! Just the review I needed to grab Celeste now that it’s back in stock instead of waiting for Spring. She’s on her way, thanks Chris! ❤
Yay!!! Enjoy!!🙏🏻🙌❤️❤️
@@ThePerfumeNest I got it last week & absolutely LOVE it! 💝💕
Yay!!
Hello my beautiful Chris! You keep looking prettier and more beautiful every video. I am always here listening. Definitely put my name down in the list for that discovery set. I have no idea what to get from this house. 😊
Aw you are so sweet thank you!!!🙏🏻💕❤️❤️🥰🤣
Oooo, Chris, I think I’m gonna be getting that discovery set FAST! Love the sound of Celeste and Colonia Nobile, AND Shabby Chic, but my wallet is telling me try before you buy, 😂. I LOVE perfume, always have, and your channel is the one I go to every single day 😍😍
PS, I would LOVE to get hold of your discovery set if you’re going to part with it! ❤️❤️
Aw thank you so much! 🙏🏻💕💕💕 Yes, we must sample these beauties!!!
I’m so glad you reviewed this house. I just purchased Celeste (on it’s way) after sampling it. I would love to get my nose on the entire house.❤
You are welcome!!! Thank you!!💕🙌
"Choose kindness and laugh often" - I can picture you like that.
Aw. Thank you. When I started my channel I bought little signs for backdrops. You normally can’t see them because my head is usually in the way but today I was off center and didn’t realize it! 😂
Excited to hear all about this house. May you kindly review Argos?❤
Thanks! And you bet!!
Loved getting your overview! Bianco Latte is at the top of my list now! I would love to see your brand overview of Simone Andreoli ... they have several that have caught my interest, besides the famed "Malibu Party on the Bay" - they have a fig in a black bottle called Fico Nero di Sardegna" mmmmm! I have to get my hands on testers.... thank you, Chris!
Hi ! Thank you!! Yes that house has some amazing fragrances!!! I’ll try and track down all of the samples! 💕🙌
WOOT! @@ThePerfumeNest
Bianco Latte is a successful blind buy and a big love for me, and I’m gonna try their discovery set. 🥰🥰🥰
Holy Moly!!! Crazy blind buyers!😂💕💕
I have been so curious about this house. I would love to get to try and discover this set. ❤
Ok! Thanks for stopping by!!!
Tried Bianco Latte and ordered a bottle right away, Bora Bora didn't knock my socks off so no FB for me, now will be ordering a Celeste decant!! Great video Chris as always!! 😍😀
😂😂yes Borabora doesn’t knock my socks off now I’ve tried the entire line. Remember the opening of Celeste is a little harsh. 😉💕
Thank you for this! Was planning to get the discovery set. So many of them sound great! 😍 Especially Bianco Oro and Blu Indaco. I would be very interested on your take on Etat Libre D'Orange, if you maybe have their discovery set already. I tried a few of them and it left me wanting more 🤩
Thank you! Oh my gosh that would be fun but daunting! I think they have over 30 perfumes in their set! 😂💕🙌
@@ThePerfumeNest
Haha! 😅 Yes, you are right. Maybe let's skip that one then 😊👍
@@MechaFairy Bless you!!!! 🙏🏻💕💕💕😂😂😂😂😂😂😉
I’ve heard of this house but don’t own any of their perfumes. I’d love to receive the discovery set. Thank you for sharing , I really enjoy your videos ❤
Ok!! I’ll put you down!
Hi Chris ❤️❤️❤️ This is so helpful! Celeste and Bianco Oro sound wonderful. I would love to see a house review of Frederic Malle and to find out if you have any favorites 🤗
Hello my friend!! Thanks for stopping by!! Oh I can see you loving Celeste……I’m not sure about Bianco Oro. But I’m wearing it now and smell so good! You know…I know how much you love salty perfumes (Blu Turquoise) so now that I think of it, you’d probably love it!!
@@ThePerfumeNest I also love wearing unisex perfumes. Bianco Oro seems like one of those that tell a story ✨ Have a wonderful weekend! ❤️🤗
Awesome review of this house and some spot on observations👏👏. I was lucky to get the set from My Perfect Scent Uk (Gabby’s online shop) and a friend brought it back for me🥰🥰. To be honest I was not expecting much from Bianco Latte and boy was I wrong😲😲🤍🤍. My favourites are Bianco Latte, Celeste and Shabby Chic❤️❤️. Bora Bora is lovely but it didn’t make it to my wishlist, I think I have this scent profile although it’s not exactly the same😍😍.
Overall I’m patiently waiting for Bianco Latte restock and it will definitely be in my collection if everything goes well🤩🤩.
Stay gorgeous 🥰🥰
Same! I put on Chabby Chic last night and it’s still going strong on my clothes! (Doing laundry so I could still smell it going strong!)🤣
Ohhh Celeste sounds right up my alley!!
Yes! I love it!!
Fabulous house overview!!! 👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️❤️😀😀😀😀
Thank you my sweet friend!!
Thanks for the detailed review on the house Chris❤❤❤...i own Bora bora and Celeste, was thinking about Bianco latte, but another CZcamsr says it smells like Vanilla icream(on the fence)...i don't mind sweet but i don't want to smell like food.
Yes it’s super gourmand for sure
I had Bora Bora, but I ended up decluttering . I would ❤ to try all the others, so yea please on the discovery set 🙏🏻
Yes. I think it’s going out the door also. I love several more than Borabora
I would love to try the discovery set! I’ve been dying to try at Bianco latte
Thanks for staying until the end! 😂💕🙏🏻🙌
If I forgot to tell you, you are totally of breath of fresh air
Aw!🙏🏻🥹Wow. Thank you. Made my day. 💕
Didn’t want to add any new bottles but with your rave review I may have to try it out. Would love to have the discovery set! I’m in Arizona.
Lol. I’m so impressed with the house. And doing the discovery set was so fun!
Hi Chris, great video. I would love to buy the set you mentioned! I bought a few individually from lucky scent.
Ok! Got ya down! (I’m not charging). 😉
@@ThePerfumeNest I am so excited!! Thank you so much
HI Chris@@ThePerfumeNest have you decided what you will do with the lucky scent set?
@@heidimariebee yes we had a winner: Marianne. She won the set. I’ll have several giveaways coming up
Oh that's cool, would love to try those!! How kind of you!! ❤
💕💕🥰😁🥰
Oh yay I’m sooooo glad you did this house!! This one and Merchant of Venice houses I’m super curious about!? I’ve sampled a couple and I’m finding these houses give great scents and great prices !! And need to get my nose on them all! But loving that they’re not like over 200!! And I think they’re smart to do this! I think they’re listening to perfume lovers! Who want good perfumes but don’t want to spend $200 plus! Yikes 😱
Yay!!! So glad you enjoyed!! I agree with you!!🙏🏻❤️
hi. I really adore your videos. i think you do spot on reviews. pls keep them coming. I was very excited to see this brand review on your channel. Just what I was looking for. I would LOVE to receive your used discovery set. please pick me!!! lol. btw, bora Bora opens very lovely, but I agree that after the initial opening, it kind of falls flat for me as well. I won't be buying that one for sure. I would really enjoy your take on Gallagher fragrances, Une Nuit Nomade, maison Crivelli, Borntostandout, BDK, Omnia (I was super thrilled to see you mention Madera on another video recently. I have loved that one for many yrs yet never hear anyone talk about how great it is),
Aw hi!! Thank you so much for the lovely words! Your comment made my day!!! Those are some great houses; I’ll put them on my list!! And me getting Madera was because of someone on IG. Or here! Was it you?? 😁
Hi Chris! I have a cart in Luckyscent with Bianco Latte, Celeste and Bora Bora but after watching your video now Shabby Chic sounds like my cup of tea…You are killing me! If I don’t win the discovery set I’ll just buy the whole thing 😂
Girl no way! Samples everywhere!! I’ll put your name in the hat!! You have a good shot of winning because not many ppl signed up (maybe 20)? Stay strong and if you don’t win get samples from Lucky Scent or Scent Split! 😃Drawing Friday!! Hold your horses!!
Oh my gosh. I accidentally notified you on another post! You won the discovery set if you haven’t bought it already. 😂 can you send me your address to my email? ❤
I purchased a large decant of Bora Bora over the summer. I like it, but it doesn’t last long on my skin or I become anosmic to it. At the time I started wearing my sample of Bianco Latte to bed because it was cozy but not overbearing in the heat of summer. Before I knew it, I realized that it’s a love for me. FBW! There are lots of fragrances like BL, but this is special and lasts forever! The tonka translates to me as white chocolate. Bianco Latte is signature scent worthy and good all year round, in my opinion. I just ordered a sample of Celeste based on your review. 😊Thanks for going over this house for us!❤
Yes Bianco Latte has been a huge hit. I’ve head ppl say it’s their signature. 🙌
Also I mentioned in my last video about the opening of Celeste; the lime raspberry lime opening is a tad harsh….let that fade. Wait it out. 💕
@@ThePerfumeNest thanks for the heads up on that! 💕
Hi Chris! I would love to win the discovery set. Bianco Latte and Celeste have been on my to-try list for a while! ❤
So many good ones that get overlooked also!!
Love the house review, yes please to more!! And I’d love to throw my hat in for the discovery set!! I need to sniff Celeste for sure and a few of the others you mentioned! Wonderful video and reviews, as always!!
Thank you! You bet!!💕💕💕
I just got decants of Bianco latte, Borabora, and Celeste. Ive tried Bianco latte so far and i love the latonic, gooey carmalized scent. Theres no coffee but i do get a frothy texture from it so maybe thats what they mean by latte. I cant make up my mind on wether i want to spray Borabora or Celeste today. Not from the house of Giardini di toscana but, i also got a decant of musc moschus from Rania J and then a bunch of testers from twisted lily as well. Whoohoo let the testing begin!
lol yes! I love sampling! It’s so fun and much cheaper than buying full bottles!
I blind bought Bianco Latte from their official website. I fell in love with it. And they sent me 2 samples, one being Borabora which i fell in love with. I will for sure buy a full bottle in the spring. I heard great things about Celeste and i am intrigued. Is it similar with Insolence from Guerlain?
Hi! I don’t think so. I get a lot more vanilla in Celeste
This discovery set is actually in my basket on Lucky scent, it’s been sitting there for a few weeks ..so I can’t wait to hear all your thoughts my friend! I’m back from my trip btw, and I’ll be posting a vacation perfume vlog although it’s maybe going to take forever to edit 😅😅
Oh I can’t wait to see it!! I know it’s going to be great!!!
@@ThePerfumeNest 🙏🏼🥰💕 xo
Hi Chris! You somehow look more and more beautiful each time I see you! What's your secret??!! No gate keeping allowed LOL🤩 I thought I was going to get Celeste but now I'm torn between that one and Bianco Latte🤷♀ I would love to take that discovery set off your hands! Such a nice offer from you❣ Side note, what do you think about D & G Devotion? I'd also love a Sora Dora brand review! I'm testing a sample of Amouage Overture and I think I'm in love❤ Your thoughts on it??
Aw! Thank you. Well…it’s several things: lighting is a HUGE part. In fact, if you notice when I move forward as the light is coming into my room and it hits my face, all sorts of imperfections show up; and when I move just a few inches back out of that direct sunlight I look better. I have noticed the best lighting is next to a large window late afternoon. I also have 3 other lights on me. Camera setting is huge and sometimes I get it right sometimes I’m off. My camera also has a skin smoothing filter/setting that I’ve recently (6 months) started using (because I didn’t know about it before). I used to film super late at night when I was always tired and lighting wasn’t great. Makeup is also a big one; I used to over do it and had poor lighting. That’s a terrible combo! 😂
I haven’t tried the new Devotion. I need to. I plan on swinging by Ulta or Sephora this week. And Overture is beautiful I agree!!
@@ThePerfumeNest I haven't noticed a single imperfection when you move forward! I need alllll this light and filters following me around so I don't hate myself LOL And here I was hoping for some miracle skincare or makeup routine🥴I think what you're trying to say is you're just stunning but humble😘🥰
@@ThePerfumeNest Our Ulta's & Sephora's either don't have it or they don't have bottles to sample anymore due to ppl stealing them😠 I'd have to travel 2 hours to a place that would have it & others I want to not have to blind buy🤦♀I look forward to your thoughts on it! May I bother you with one more question? Do you prefer Material or Overture??
Thanks for the offer Chris I’m going to pass. Trying to behave myself lol.
But I would love to hear about any scents of wood that you have tested. I love Sandalwood oak and I also like pecan and maple but I’m dying to know about vanilla and bourbon like I messaged you.😂
Forgive all the typos, I’m trying to use voice dictation
I love Sandalwood In Oak ! And Praline In Maple and so much more. I need to order their new releases…
@@ThePerfumeNest and review them! 😂
I have both Madeira as well as Bianca latte and they are extremely similar I spray them together to power them both up
I definitely didn’t need both I had no idea they would be sisters
Right!! I agree! I have about 4 that smell very similar…need to thin the herd!
Bianco Latte 💋
Yes!!!💕💕💕🙌
I am blown away by Bora Bora. Bianco Latte is too much like Escapade Gourmande which I already had.
Yes it is similar isn’t it?? I need to choose between them.
I'm really excited about this brand, so I emailed them to find out if their products are vegan.
They are! Vegan and cruelty free. Sample pack here I come!!!
Awesome!!!!
Hey, Chris, can you recommend your top 5 among these?
Hi! My favs; Bianco Latte, Bisnco Oro, Chabby Chic, Celeste.
Sounds like Celeste and Bianco Oro belong on my shelf!😂
Omg! I was thinking the same; esp Bianco Oro as that’s what I’m wearing today. I’ll add that to your pile. I can’t believe all the decants you sent me! Omg so many amazing ones; I’ve wanted to try. ! Gold mine! Gurl I can’t imagine your collection
Bianco Latte has a sheer creamy, cool, mint feeling like a TicTac but I never hear anyone else mention that
Yes. That’s the coumarin . 🥰😉I get a little bit of a sweet grass also.
Funny, I wanted to hear your comments because it is in my cart to purchase. I would love to declutter yours if you would like to. Thanks!
You bet. I’m sure you won’t have much competition as not everyone stays until the end. 😉💕
Do you prefer Bianca Latte or Blanche Bete? They seem similarly described.
Oh wow they are VERY different. BL is much sweeter; it’s gourmandy in a vanilla caramel milkshake way. BB has a strong musk, white flowers and a little bit of coconut oil vibe.
🙌
🥰🥰🥰
Is there anything like bianco latte…that has whipped cream too!? To give that Cloud DNA? 🤔
Not off the top of my head. They def have big differences but both nice
I have a bottle of Bianco Latte.
I JUST bought it from the hype and it’s not for me. That’s what I get for doing a full size blind buy. It is authentic, got it from Luckyscents for $150, willing to sell it for $135. I can even send u my order paper. Please take it off my hands, it will just gather dust!
Hi Chris, what are your top 3?
Hmmm….Bianco Oro, Celeste and BL for colder months and Chabby Chic for warmer??
@@ThePerfumeNest thank you!
I want to have ir all 😅
I know!! So many goodies! Did you sample the set also?
no yet my friend@@ThePerfumeNest
Celeste, to me, smells like the soap you use to make bubbles 😭
❤️❤️❤️
discovery set never fair to actual perfume bottle
I tested it and loved it. Then I purchased a full bottle from Scent Split and it’s terrible. It smells like playdoh but in the worst way and that’s aaaaall I’m getting. I’ve ordered samples from SS before and never had problems but I cannot believe this is authentic. So disappointed. Has anyone had a similar experience with Scent Split?

Which one are you talking about? Bianco Latte?
@@ThePerfumeNestyes - Bianco Latte UPDATE:I think it is going to be OK. I sprayed it several times and I’m letting it sit. It seems like it’s a little better now. And maybe I even have to wait longer. The sample was so pretty and lasted a long while so my expectations were different. this one was sort of minty on top and didn’t last at all at first. I am hearing that there’s some kind of gas at the top that Has to be released when you first spray some of these fragrances.
I really really wanted to love Bora Bora but it’s just so so heavy . It’s not at all the tropical beach fragrance I anticipated. It’s like you spilled your Mai Tai on your dress while you fell into a vat of rotting flower leis. It smells like a tiki bar cleanup after tha party. The florals are pungent-I’m disappointed
Yes that happened to me also with this one. I started liking others in the line much better
