FRAGRANCE FRIDAY: Fragrances worth the HYPE!

[@simplecooking4068]

I love Blanche Bete! Beautiful ❤. Comptoir Sud Pacific “coco extrem” is similar to it

[@FraterIgniUmbra-ci7gv]

I heard it's close to initio oud for greatness and B540 (liwa that is). So how close to initio OFG would you say it is, (besides the florals)?

[@hannahkeena1646]

Omg lol at your mom and Allspice. My mom discovered almond extract and added to everything (in place of vanilla extract) growing up and thus I equate almond with cozy and home. Hence BDK velvet tonka is my go to “cozy home” scent 💗

[@Stefanie272]

Your skin looks so healthy and glowy. 😍🫶❤️

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Thank you so much! xoxo

[@coffee_me4248]

You've given me three new houses to check out. Great video, Abby!❤

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Yay! Thank you for watching! Keep me posted. xoxo

[@lisag8463]

I knew I shouldn’t have watched this. 😆😊🥰 All of these sound great! Gris Charnel is my signature fall and winter fragrance. I always get compliments when I wear it. Lately I’ve been wearing Bal D’Afrique and just adore it!

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

It's so good! AND I LOVE Bal D'Afrique!! Such a great fragrance and I have the Body Shower and lotion too! LOL! thank you for watching. xoxo

[@loralee3232]

Abby, love Fragrance Fridays!! All of these fragrances sound wonderful! I know Fragrance Du Bois is having a sale. If you had to choose one Minuit Demi or Cavort? Actually Cavort is sold out. Would you recommend another one from the brand. I do share similar loves as you gourmand, vanilla, Tonka bean, rose. Thank you! Have a great Friday and weekend!! 😊❤️

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Lora Lee- I am so happy you love Fragrance Friday!! I would definitely go for Minuit et Demi if it is still available!! I also love - New York 5th Avenue- stunning Gourmand. Santal Complet - for creamy sandalwood- easy wear! Siberian Rose does not get enough love! Love it! Oud Orange Intense- fantastic gourmand!!! It is not about ORANGE the note- it is about warm Orange color. I hope this helps!! xoxo

[@loralee3232]

@@AbbyBlissWhite Thank you so much Abby! This really helps your like the fragrance expert in describing them. 😊

Your makeup looks extra great lately Abby! I may need to pick up the Chanel sheer glow and see if I can recreate the look. I also must tell you that I pulled the trigger on a Marco Bicego necklace after seeing it on you and always loving it. It looks so versatile and I love how it seems to work with anything from casual to more formal. Can't wait ti get it! xoxo

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

YAY! That is my favorite necklace and yes- it is so versatile. I am a sucker for gemstones and this is just so pretty. So glad you picked it up! AND thank you for your kind words. xoxo

[@deborahrosen165]

Hi Abby! My Friday fragrance is something i actually bought today while in NYC! It’s Rose Cherie from Guerlain! Guerlain is promoting both Rose Cherie and Santal Pao Rosa for the Fall Season 😊. I decided to buy Rose Cherie because it does indeed seem like a perfect transition fragrance from summer into autumn. It opens with a fresh, sweet note of Rose with a dry down of warm gourmand notes of Almond pastilles. I’m looking forward to wearing this over the next few months! I understand that Guerlain is introducing 3 new fragrances for the upcoming holiday season!! Also, i was given a sample of Ouillet Pourpre to consider wearing now. It has a gorgeous soft sandalwood feel, also by Guerlain! Excited to give it a try! Xoxo 😘 Deborah

[@sarahpenz3739]

Hi Deborah. I just wanted to give some feedback that my Guerlain SA told me that she did a training with Guerlain in Paris when the L'Art et Matieres collection launched in the new packaging. The perfumer for Santal Pao Rosa and Rose Cherie told the SAs that she designed the two fragrances to be layered together. Of course, they are beautiful individually. I tried both alone and then layered. The layering creates a very special combo so I bought a bottle of each and I am very happy with the perfumes. It was an expensive purchase, but it was worth it for me.

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Woo hoo!! You know I love Rose 🌹 Cherie and I am so glad that you picked it up! And 3 NEW Fragrances- that is so exciting! I can't wait. Guerlain is just such a classic brand and I love SO many of their fragrances. I am so glad you had your own Fragrance Friday and I hope you are doi9ng well. I am also excited abou hat Ouillet Poupre. Woo hoo! I am going to see if I have a sample. Have a great weekend. xoxo

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Uh oh.... I am going to try that combo today. I found my Santal Pao sample! Thank you for sharing. I think you told me this before but I could not find my sample but today is the day! xoxo

[@deborahrosen165]

@@sarahpenz3739 oh how nice! I’m glad you told me this 🙂. I can see how that would transition very nicely from day to night. Or from milder weather to cooler weather! I’m going to try them layered together!!

[@deborahrosen165]

@@AbbyBlissWhite Hi Abby! I’m still in NYC and just texted my SA and asked him to please make me a sample so I can try it! I do love the Santal Pao Rosa but find it may be too intense in warm weather or for daily use at the moment. But I’m thinking I can use the Rose Cherie early day and then add the Santal into the evening! Or as they days get cooler just combine them both lightly all day. Santal can always be used heavier at night 😜👍. So much fun 🤩

[@kirsilahti8638]

Thank you for a great video 💕. Could you make a video of your top ten perfumes?

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Absolutely! THANK YOU for the idea! xoxo

[@jodiaryal86]

Good evening! Im not a big fragrance person I generally stick to gypsy water or other byredo or another 13 but…I just received a sample of the new 724!!! And ordered immediately it is sooo good ! Curious if you smelled it yet? 💕

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Omg!! I am so excited for that launch and hope to be getting it SOON!! I am so glad to hear you love it!! I like all of your other picks! Thanks for the heads up! xoxo

[@kg8487]

Love Houses Thameen and Widian-again, inspired to haul out my sample stash! I haven’t ever purchased FB from either of them, but it might be next on the list with this sort of Abby endorsement! Cheers to a fabulous new frag batch.

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

YAY!!! Let me know what you think!! I am excited about both of those houses! Let me know if you have Widian Black I - I meant to smell that one and heard it was great! Have an amazing Friday!! xoxo

[@kg8487]

@@AbbyBlissWhite I found my sample of Widian Sahara Gold II (May have mixed up the order of the name) and it’s really great. The saffron really comes through in the dry down. Will have to do some more Widian sampling

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

@@kg8487 YAY!! AND guess what... Guerlain just launched 3 Oud Frags! Oh man! They all look good but Nude Oud- is calling my name.... I need the nudge.... xoxo

[@robinspencer9611]

Aloha Abby! Right now I've been loving the mix of my Atelier Orange Sanguine with my Vyrao 00 Free! It's fresh and citrusy which is what I want to wear when the weather is still hot!

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

OOH... I have been intrigued by that Vyrao brand!! I will check this combo out! Sounds delish and we are still experiencing some warm weather here too. Have a great weekend. xoxo

[@tigeygirl]

I’ve been patiently waiting for you to review Blanche Bete! Isn’t it just glorious? My bottle has already gone down about an inch because all summer it’s been used so many times. It truly is addictive! Love all your picks. Liwa is great too. Just sprayed some Blanche Bete right now. Lol Have a great weekend Abby! Love ❤️ ya!

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

OMG!! I love it! You are were right and I am whipping through my bottle too! It is so addictive and comforting and glorious!!! Love ya right back. xoxo

[@Tatiperez78]

Abby I just ran into your channel and this video and I love your content. I love fragrances. I have all these fragrances you mentioned in this video except Widian. Which I am definitely going to put at the top of my list. I love all these perfumes by far my favorites from my collection. Now one day I decided to layer Blanche Bete with Gris Charnel…wow Chef’s Kiss 💋 I love Blanche Bete ❤ Peregrina is absolutely beautiful! Can’t get enough of it. Cavort it’s just sexy!

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

YAY!!! THank you so much for watching and I am so glad that we have similar tastes!! I agree- Peregrin is gorg!!! xoxo

[@tanyawood275]

I have been waiting for the review on these fragrances, although I did not know which ones they would be, they all sound great!! Do you think I would like Blanche Bete? It sounds like it would be a safe blind buy. Thank you so much for sharing all of these today! Have a great weekend and love and hugs!!

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Hello Tanya! I do think Blanche Bete is a safe bet! It is so yummy and soft and comforting . Easy to like and easy to wear. Total compliment getter too. Those are usually -easy blind buys. I'm wearing it again today!! I hope you have a great weekend as well. Sending love and hugs. xoxo

[@fuschiapretty]

Great reviews! I actually haven't even heard of most of these, so I will go off to look for samples! Blanche Bete and Liwa sounded up my alley for newness! After a couple disastrously expensive blind-buys (yes, I am looking at BR540 🤨) I've learned to be careful about what works on my skin! 😊 Blanche Bete sounds almost like a unicorn with those notes! 🦄 So exite! 🥰 Thanks for this Abby, have a great weekend! xo

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Please do! I will be excited to see what you think! AND yep, BR540 either works or doesn't on people and it is always best to buy samples.... but yes, I blind buy too! LOL! keep me posted both Blanche Bete and Liwa are AMAZING!!! Have a great weekend. THank you for watching. xoxo

[@donnaj4528]

Hi Abby: Purchased Blance Bete about a month ago....LOVE it! Also just ordered a sample of Secret Tryst from Twisted Lily......they have the best samples with the sprayer. Cavort never rang my bell but enjoyed your review of it. Cannot wait until your LIVE with Bisma.....I need to get BDK Villa Neroli. Creamscicle you say........I am all in! :)

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

YAY! I just love it!!! We are so excited for our LIVE! August 31st! More details to come!! xoxo

[@peninalipkin2974]

I tried House of Thameen Blue Heart but it was way too masculine for me. The one you talked about sounds yummy. I just got my first Fragrance Du Bois Minuit et Demi i loooove the scent. Love watching these types of videos of yours. Have a good weekend!💖

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

YAY! I LOVE Minuit et Demi! Favorite scent of all time! AND I found Blue Heart to be too masculine on me too. I love Peregrina. Definitely feminine. I hope you have a good weekend too. xoxo

[@peninalipkin2974]

guess what?! i just purchased Peregrine! its stunning it smells a bit like delina its so smooth and well blended i get a huge rose dose and not any caramel so im going to let it sit for 2 weeks and then revisit it but im really pleased

[@sarahpenz3739]

I love Thameen. I have Peregrina, Riviere (perfume and hair mist), and Royal Sapphire. I find the fragrances to be very long lasting. When I have purchased in the past, I received samples--so I have tried most of the brand. In my opinion, Thameens seem best for fall/winter. By the way, I tried the new Blue Heart which is heavily hyped, but I didn't love it on me. However, I got multiple compliments when I wore it. I gave the rest of the 2ml sample to my Mom and she now wants to purchase Blue Heart. I think it is mass appealing.

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Yes! I smelled all of these while in London and loved Riviere and Royal Sapphire too! I thought Blue Heart was a bit masculine on me- but the one I almost bought was Royal Sapphire. I bought Peregrina in the red bottle for my friend and then did not want to give it away because I love that scent! LOL!! It is a great brand and yes- I look forward to wearing these when the weather cools down. xoxo

[@sarahpenz3739]

@@AbbyBlissWhite there is one called Amber Room that smells like Dior Bois D'Argent to me. But I would prefer to stick with Bois D'Argent. Interesting that Blue Heart leaned masculine on you.

[@sarahpenz3739]

Today I am wearing a new fragrance that I ordered from NY. It is called Les Liquides Flirt. It is a really nice fruity fresh scent ideal for summer, but has 27% concentration so it lasts really well. They have three other scents, including one called Elle which is a woody fig fragrance (amazing).

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Ooh... I will have to check these out! THey sound intriguing!! xoxo

[@accesstotheredcarpet]

Good morning pretty lady and my soul sister! Have you tried Ellis Brooklyn brand? They have been coming out with new launches. They are “clean” fragrances but in high quality and budget friendly. Great for people who are allergy prone like myself on occasions. They just came out with a new beauty called Vanilla Milk. Worth checking out. I also love Molton Brown line too. I want to dip my toes in the Boucheron fragrances. I’m definitely checking out Zgo fragrance. They sell samples which is perfect!

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Hello Lisa! and Good Morning! AND yes, I have checked out a few of those Ellis Brooklyn perfume and they are really nice. I will check out Vanilla Milk! Love both Molton Brown and yes to Boucheron. I hope you have an amazing weekend. xoxo

Justyna- I have yet to try it! So sorry! I got distracted! I will get my nose on that ASAP!! xoxo

[@danalasmane6191]

It's interesting that most people find Gris Charnel warm - somehow on my skin it turns quite cool and fresh. Well, that's at least how I smell it. I do enjoy it, it's one of my go-to fall fragrances.

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Dana- it is funny because I always thought it was a warm scent too! Until - he recommended it to Emmet who likes FRESH and COOL scents and in that context- I smelled it again and indeed it DOES have that fresh cool element to it. It really is spectacular!! xoxo

[@danalasmane6191]

@@AbbyBlissWhite Yes, I guess that was in a way what I was trying to say 😀 - that I could actually understand how someone who likes Chanel Bleu (a stunning fragrance as well) might feel tempted by Gris Charnel. ☺ Especially, if his skin chemistry also matches with the cool tones like mine.

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

@@danalasmane6191 yes!! I was surprised when the gentleman picked it for him. AND then when he picked that as his favorite - I was like- let me smell this again in a different perspective. AND low and behold- it totally smelled different and we both wore it on the trip! Twinning! xoxo

[@sarahpenz3739]

Hi Abby. I picked up Blanche Bete a few weeks ago and really enjoy it. I think it is a safe blind buy but it's fairly expensive. Josie was so nice to send it to you. The one thing I don't love is that the glass has kind of a plasticy feel to me. I actually thought it was plastic. Also, I almost forgot to day that I heard Blanche Bete won an award for #1 fragrance of the year in a prestigious competition. So that made me feel confident blind buying when the only review I could find was from Jus de Rose.

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

Thanks for sharing!! Yes, Blanche Bete did win an award and it is Liquides Imaginaires #1 selling perfume. Woo hoo! I am loving it and find it addictive. I hope you have a fantastic weekend and I will try the Santal Pao and Rose Cherie combo TODAY! xoxo

[@sarahpenz3739]

@@AbbyBlissWhite Hello! I know you like Dom Rosa as well. I tried it and liked it too. It's on my list to purchase, but not at the top of the list. I like it because it is seems like an original creation. Also it's amazing how they got that champagne note in

[@sarahpenz3739]

Cavort is lovely. I remember when you did a video on Secret Tryst. I copied you and bought it. Then I felt the temptation to add Cavort to cart. I love both scents One thing that bugs me is that many reviewers, plus FDB, say that Cavort is a summer scent. To me, this is not a summer scent at all. Maybe it works for night, but I won't pick it back up until the weather drops below 15 degrees Celsius. I see that you share the same opinion.

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

It's so good! I should have just bought both at the same time! I agree that this one is a deeper sexier scent that lends itself to date nights and will be amazing once the weather cools!! I want to try both Secret Tryst and Cavort layered too!! xoxo

[@sarahpenz3739]

@@AbbyBlissWhite I didn't think about layering. Will try that as well.

[@tigeygirl]

I don’t think I ever mentioned Molton Brown Milk Musk EDP to you. It screams fall in Portland to me. It’s like a cashmere hug on a cool autumn day. It’s lactonic with elemi, Tonka, vanilla, and musk. A simple scent but so comforting that I think I wore that more than lots of my more expensive niche fragrances the last couple of winters. I spray it on before bed too for a cozy hug in the cooler months. It says Abby in Portland to me. If you try it be sure it’s the edp. The edt is different and has fruit notes in it. LuckyScent now carries it, ZGO might also.

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

You are the best!! I will go check that out at Bluemercury! They sell it locally here. I love those kind of scents! AND you made me laugh - Abby in Portland. THANK YOU for being on this fragrance journey with me! xoxo

[@sarahpenz3739]

Abby do you like Iris Ebene as much as Ex Nihilo Iris Porcelina? Or is it too different to compare?

[@AbbyBlissWhite]

These are very different scents in my opinion. I love Iris Porcelina - but it is more light and airy versus the Iris Ebene is deeper and denser with that suede note. It feels more cozy. Like Iris Porcelina feels more linen y - cotton y - and Iris Ebene feels more like cashmere or velvet. Does that make sense? hope this helps. xoxo
