5 Popular Perfumes | Highly Requested! Cartier, Bottega, Guerlain, Armani Prive & More 2020

[@thesimplechiclife]

Have you tried any of these fragrances? If so - what are your thoughts? Are you team Terracotta or team Bronze Goddess? Do you love Rouge Malechite as much as everyone else seems to?

[@samahabdullah718]

I haven't try any of them yet, but terracota is in my wishlist for a while.

[@weronikazalewska2]

I find rouge malachite a bit too old fashioned

[@Lulu-kt6gr]

I have a sample of rouge malachite and it’s interesting. I’m not sure yet if I like it.

[@Lulu-kt6gr]

Bronze Goddess is a synthetic headache to me, as are many of Estée Lauder. I’d love a great Beachy tropical fragrance though and I’m sure Guerlain is better so I want to try it!

[@chetanam2950]

I love terracotta and it is staple in my collection 😍😍

[@vegasbaby888]

Just purchased my third bottle of Bottega today and it’s definitely my signature scent ❤️ great choice!

[@joannekirkby3705]

Since trying Bottega Veneta 10 years ago, I’ve never worn anything else. Love it 😍

[@LoveJette5646]

Omg I hope it’s that good... I just ordered it, from her describing it and your comment I was sold😊

[@CARNELIANTURQUOISE]

Neither have I, it was in a magazine scent strip when it first launched and haunted me until I bought my first bottle!!! I have been wearing it since 2011!!

[@kr15watts83]

@@CARNELIANTURQUOISE this is crazy! you literally just described my story with this Perfume. I was waiting for my flight home from Milan and was reading this magazine. I found it in there and knew that I must have it. Since it came out I have not worn anything else. 😊

[@shapelfrangrance]

Love bottega veneta it’s so my vibe and style of fragrance

[@thesimplechiclife]

🙌🏻 💕 😊

[@sharony4650]

Mine to, it’s such a beautiful scent.

[@20vannesa]

It doesn’t last at all. At least not for me.

[@miriamuSama]

It reminds me of Tuscany, Italy. I was there in 2019.. ❤️

[@cindysan2510]

I have bottega venetta and I love it, its very different then what everyone else wears.

[@Shellarella74]

I absolutely love BV so much. It’s like the inside of a expensive suede handbag 👜! It’s literally one of my top five ever!

[@nectariad6164]

Me too, there's no other perfume like it.

[@CARNELIANTURQUOISE]

I've been wearing Bottega Veneta since it came out in 2011, it's the only fragrance I wear! I hope it's never ever discontinued!!!

[@theresacooke1606]

Hi, I’m wondering if you’ve ever tried Balenciaga Paris. I would be interested in your thoughts.

[@TheTopNote]

I’m SUPER impressed with your dedication to buying full bottles for requested reviews- especially Armani Privé! Lol I am not a fan of RM but I really like Vert Malachite. Loved hearing your thoughts on these! 💞

[@thesimplechiclife]

well, to be fair I wanted to add some of these to my collection anyhow it just took that extra push of people asking me to review them, and I don't live anywhere near a store where I can actually go smell them. I've also ordered decants before that have smelled "off", so I just buy a full bottle when in doubt. It's expensive but I'd say I have a 75% like rate lol of the ones I get. There are always the odd ones that don't work out. I have also always been able to sell or find homes for ones I don't care for so it doesn't end up costing me too much! :)

[@faithandfavor7418]

Cartier is definitely a mature fragrance. I wear it at night. It stays on my skin forever. ❤️

[@nataliaalaimo9076]

"Terracotta" Guerlan!!!! I'm from Florida and I probably need this beauty! I will check it out on site you posted

[@katpham4890]

Team Terracotta! You’re so lucky it’s so readily available. It’s a lot harder to find in the states and I have been thinking of getting a backup bottle because it’s so difficult to find.

[@juliettirina6829]

Oh that's so sweet of you! Thank you for purchasing and reviewing these fragrances. My favourite is Vert Malachite by Giorgio Armani. I love Amande, but my favourite from that line of Prada is Les infusions De Mimosa.💛

[@officialwinniedai]

Thank you for doing these videos! Would love to see more lesser known fragrances as well!

[@jodiz4238]

Your videos are so beautiful, informative and relaxing. Love your style! 🧁

[@thesimplechiclife]

Thanks Jodi!:)

[@SharidaM]

Terracotta is one of my favorite summer scents. Like you said just so stunning!

[@a.beaverhausen1140]

I haven't tried that particular Cartier scent, but I haven't liked any Cartier scents I've tried.....which pains me because I LOVE their bottles.

[@elainebines6803]

It was interesting that prada is marketed to men. I don't want to steal their fragrance wardrobe but I also love floris 89. Maybe a video at some stage with black pepper? Molten brown do a nice one but no lasting power, I also like heavenly gingerlily marketed towards women

[@sharony4650]

Bottega Veneta is my signature scent. Everything you said is true about that amazing perfume. I have 3 bottles, because I don’t want to be without. Compliments galore.

[@thesimplechiclife]

Thank you for solidifying my feelings about it!!:) I knew this fragrance was amazing!

[@petunia23d98]

Bottega Veneta is one of my favorite designer scents. It smells niche to me. A perfect floral sueded leather with a hint of patch. It's really beautiful I can't wait to wear it this fall. I wonder if you'd like Cuir de Lancome? It has a similar vibe but is more refined. Unfortunately, the caps on the CdL bottles are very loose an fall off the bottle. Great review!

[@thesimplechiclife]

I would love to try it - sounds like it would be up my alley:) thanks for the suggestion

[@Cherayeslifestyle]

Bottega veneta is absolutely gorgeous! I stumbled upon this one last year 🤗 the leather is so rich and creamy....

[@thesimplechiclife]

Yes it is!!:)

[@annaramos7950]

Botrega Veneta has been my perfume since 2016. I have the full sized bottle and a travel size bottle in my purse. I also like Bottega Veneta L’Absolu, Eau de Velours and Eau Sensuelle 🤗.

[@CARNELIANTURQUOISE]

Eau' Aromatique was discontinued 😔, I liked it for Spring!

[@koridonaldson1859]

I bought Terracota in January of this year based off of Demi Rawling’s recommendation. On amazon for $80. I’m in Florida. I LOVE IT❤️❤️

[@AS-mq1hr]

Guerlain Terracota does not smell like powdery makeup ... I think that is Guerlain’s Meteorites - it is the perfume they made to apparently mimic the scent of their meteorites makeup (powder balls)

[@rossatoppinen8076]

No, it's smells like Guerlain Bronzer in wooden case called Terracota, which picture shown in this video. Guerlain has another perfume called Meteorites which mimic their meteorites ball smells like lilac.

[@catarinamartins818]

In rouge malachite the tuberouse is very good blended with the other notes , personaly I love this scent It's on my wish list ! Prada infusion d'amande is very beautiful too ! Terracota is a very nice perfume for summer it was one of my summer favourites . Nice picks 😁

[@thesimplechiclife]

Thank you!:)

[@OlfactiveStories]

Terracotta is one of my all time favourite. This is my summer night scent 😊 I like Rouge Malachite but do I like it enough to buy a full bottle of it ? I don't know yet ^^ I love Bottega Veneta fragrances. Eau de velours is my favourite but I also really like Eau sensuelle for spring or autumn and Essence aromatique for summer.

[@thesimplechiclife]

I keep hearing about the eau de velours - do you think it's a safe blind buy?

[@OlfactiveStories]

@@thesimplechiclife Blind buy is never really safe 😅 But if you like the idea of leather, plum, rose and patchouli, try it 😊

[@madelenealvarez]

Would you know a dupe for the Prada Infusion L Amande? I’m so in love with that fragrance! What other fragrances would you recommend that also have a similar vibe? Love your videos, can’t get enough of them.

[@thesimplechiclife]

Thank you so much! I actually don’t know a dupe for it off the top of my head :/

[@strawberryfields81]

Terracotta is my summer fragrance 😀 Love the jasmin in it. Had a sample of La Panthere and wasn’t a fan of it. Sprayed it in the bathroom and our whole flat smelled like it.

[@EnglishProfStyle]

I've had a bottle leak before. It eats through paint and varnish so quickly! Ugh.

[@Vanessa199005]

I own and love Terracotta and yes its pretty hard to come by. I purchased mine in Mercari for $105.00

[@Pescaicho]

Have you tried the Lancome La vie est Belle soleil cristal?

[@sabiram333]

Wow That Bottega vanita ..!!!! I got a sample from bay and fell in love. This could be my signature sent all year long, put the only thing holding me back is the price 🤪🤪. Great video 💕💕

[@cindysan2510]

Costco also sells this for half the price the bay sells it for.

[@sabiram333]

Everytime I go Costco I only find daisy, light blue and euphoria 🥲😢😢😢😢

[@cindysan2510]

@@sabiram333 this one is available online at Costco not in store.

[@sabiram333]

I will check it thanks a lot

[@OksanaSyzovaV]

If you enjoy the leather note in BV I think you might really like Kelly Caleche by Hermès )

[@thesimplechiclife]

I need to try that one as well!! I’ve heard good things about it.

[@OksanaSyzovaV]

The Simple Chic Life I would recommend getting EDT though instead of EDP, it is way more elegant imo.

[@1982evanthia]

La Panthere Cartier was my wedding fragrance...I had a winter wedding.

[@sideeffect2]

I felt Rouge Malachite was overly hyped by Demi. Smells good but nothing special. There are much better fragrances from Armani that deserve the love. I have Bleu Turquoise from and it's extremely unique with killer performance! Infusion d'amande is my favorite from the line! It's sooo beautiful! I love wearing it to bed especially!

[@thesimplechiclife]

I have to agree; it was overhyped. It’s nice like you say but as I mentioned, not my fave of today’s haul for sure:)

[@kuhukeka1]

Would love to see your review on L’Extase Rose Absolue by Nina Ricci... would you please make a video on that next ?

[@nagi5440]

The BV is such a beauty! For a reason I don't know I connect this with Cate Blanchett.

[@503mama]

Bottega totally reminds me of my mom, she would come downstairs dressed up for church and the entire room would smell like clean leather

[@chetanam2950]

In my opinion bottega veneta is most sophisticated and classy perfume. This is the fragrance I bought in store after just one sniff..most of my friends don't like it but i like this fragrance a lot

[@julesrothman7802]

We have the same taste❤ I love the BV smell but most of my friend's say it smell weird and suitable for an old lady but I just ignore them and still wear it 😂❤

[@helencavanagh8119]

I've just blind bought Prada 'infusion de Vanilla'...have you tried it?

[@annarozhko3964]

I own the original infusion d’Iris (the green cap one) and it’s gorgeous and love it as my bed time scent 🤍

[@thesimplechiclife]

I really need to try that one!:) it’s next on my list

[@annarozhko3964]

The Simple Chic Life And I need to try Amande!

[@KimR11]

Lovely video! You should do a Men’s cologne review. Have your BF purchase 5 colognes, and review least fave to most fave!

[@thesimplechiclife]

Yes i should! Actually I wouldn’t have to get him to buy; he has the best already I think!:) 💕 I’ll have to borrow them from him :)

[@singlehandedbeauty3581]

Bottega Veneta is my all-time favorite fragrance. It's gorgeous.

[@georgiachatzitheodoridou3806]

I'm completely ignorant of the smell of the fragrances you reviewed. I've heard of them but I've never tried them. Bottega Venetta is very expensive as well as Panther. I would like to try L' infusions D'Iris . So nice picks, as always!

[@thesimplechiclife]

hmm the Bottega wasn't too expensive here - I wonder if it's cheaper in Canada? I would also like to try the l'infusions d'iris!! :)

[@Sammiein]

Shop around , now that's it's old you can find it around $70.

[@bellathereader1328]

I have been trying to get my hands on Terracotta for awhile now and was excited to see it offered by Hudson's Bay. Unfortunately, you can only create an account if you live in Canada. It is available on Amazon but I usually don't buy fragrances from Amazon, since I wonder about authenticity......

[@thesimplechiclife]

I’ve found amazon to be pretty trustworthy. The good thing is usually they back up their sellers and are great with returns:)

[@bellathereader1328]

The Simple Chic Life That’s good to hear!

[@aulia11180]

Bottega Veneta just bough yesterday. love it

[@szilvia266]

Guerlain Terracotta ❤️❤️ If I kept 2 for life, it would be Hypnotic Poison & Guerlain Terracotta. Sadly it became unavailable in my area this year for some reason, but hopefully will be back around soon 🙏 I haven't smelt Bottega Veneta yet so where have I also been 😅

[@gizellapopescu3355]

Hey, if you love Terracotta do try Poeme by Lancome. Maybe I'm wrong but I find them very similar only that Poeme is better.

[@Obituarybunny]

are there any fruity adult perfumes you'd recommend for year round/everyday ? im leaning towards chanel chance tendre or even one from the marc jacobs daisy line but im not sure !

I’ll see what I can find!:) 😉

[@deshawn5885]

I saw ‘Shalimar’ perfume today at Perfumania on sale for $20 Would this be a good buy?

[@strawberryfields81]

Yes, go for it! 👍🏻

[@thesimplechiclife]

it depends on what you like. Personally I can't wear Shalimar - I appreciate the art and history behind it. It's a powerhouse and a classic, but I don't care for it for myself. I would not say it's a safe blind one! :)

[@hershiesdark4009]

Kinda tangential, but my whole family LOVES Prada Infusion D'iris. I have the 100ml, but my fam borrows it too often lol, so I recently ordered a 200ml bottle of it and it's on the way. I've been interested in trying the almond version, but I'm kinda scared because some almond-based perfumes can be a bit too heady for me. Maybe I'm sensitive to the almond note. :(

[@thesimplechiclife]

I can be a bit sensitive to it as well and I want to try the Iris one!

[@das_ein]

👋🏽 C-M, I have so many things to comment on, but I’ll cut it down because 😬. I can totally understand you loving Bottega Veneta. I think it’s a very refined scent (and the bottle is so chic) even though it doesn’t work for me. Always fun to find something that stirs your heart. 🥰 I recently came across your Fragrantica profile while I was looking up LVEB L’Eclat, which I ordered based on your video. Edit: yes, Terracotta is one of those unicorns for me. When it first launched, I even asked a friend who was traveling to Europe to find it for me in duty free, but she didn’t see it. I have to say that Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche 2015 edition (😕annoyed when they change the scent over time) is much more beachy and beautiful IMO than the EDP. I have both and the Eau Fraiche is pure vacation in a bottle. That’s the only reason I didn’t try harder to get Terracotta. 🤗 🙏🏽💟☮️☯️⚛️ P.s. I hope abbreviating your name is not too annoying 😉.

[@samanthawho9591]

Prada Mimosa is my favorite from their infunsion line.

[@martinaabd966]

Is Bottega veneta smells like Valentino Dona edp

[@thesimplechiclife]

Yes I would agree it has a similar vibe, but I find the Bottega to be better performing and stronger in the earthy/leathery aspect:)

[@nind.5682]

Which one do you prefer, aerin hibiscus palm or guerlain terracotta?

[@thesimplechiclife]

That is a tough tough call; they’re very different! I’m going to have to do a beach scent video and see if I can pick one!!

[@nind.5682]

@@thesimplechiclife yes! great idea!

[@kareenharrisson1458]

I have the La Panthère légère and it's so good ! It has gardenia and tiare which gives it a fresher smell but is in the same time very similar to the original. Probably yours has gone wrong unfortunately

[@thesimplechiclife]

I think the perfume itself is good, I sprayed it like I say on my skin and on paper its just the scent was intermixed with the rotten scent in the box - so it just ruined it for me. I'm going to try it fresh when the new one comes :). It did smell amazing so I hope I can get past the horrible scent memory!

[@thesimplechiclife]

Actually, unfortunately the Bottega Veneta even though it was so gorgeous, became quite animalic on my skin. I learned with that purchase that I absolutely must wear fragrances on my skin before making a decision about them. In the air and on paper I loved it, but on my skin I did not enjoy it.
