[@demirawling]

Omg such an honour!!! 😭 I was binge watching your videos the other day…you’re amazing girl! Thank you again for including “Minuit et Demi” 🥺❤️

[@AnneLauren]

Awe thank you so much!! ❤ I absolutely adore it!

[@UNREDACTEDTRUTH]

One of my ALL TIME FAVORITES!

[@NorthernScentsAlaska]

I can't wait to get a decant

[@ExploreXplore394]

Wow you have been vindicated Anne likes your perfume. I want to congratulate you! Oh and thank you for your videos.

[@HIPHOPKIDZCREW]

So agree w you! Demi’s Minuet et Demi is so perfect! Love all the amazing notes 🤍

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

Oh wow, I just wanted to return and let you know that I sampled 'Bo' totally due to your enthusiasm and descriptions of the fragrance and WHAT A KNOCKOUT! As an everyday, wearable woody fragrance it's just sensational. Understated, underrated but so perfectly done. There's a peep of juiciness leaking onto the woody vanilla from somewhere, almost a ghost note which is just so moreish and compelling. Stunning. My next full bottle purchase... as long as it performs decently during the, ahem, test period. Thank you for drawing me to a fragrance that I may never have even heard of without your passionate promotion.

[@saniamahzi]

I absolutely love your way if describing the fragrances! Very accurate

[@conservativegirl3371]

I love KayAli vanilla 28 so much. It really is good! I feel grounded and comforted when I wear it.

[@DeniseAdore]

I swear the way you describe fragrances make me want to buy everything I don’t have 😂😉💕 I agree Rosendo no 5 is amazing. Amethyst Haze and Deep & Desire are on my to but list because of you 😉

[@AnneLauren]

🤩🤩 killer fragrances!! ❤

[@CarmenScentrix]

Yes! She describes them so beautifully! Even when she decluttered some, I wanted to buy the ones she was decluttering because of how she described them! Lol

[@Alisha-hs8xj]

Anne, your descriptions just get me every time. Yet another video where I’m adding to my wishlist! 🙈 You look so stunning✨

[@AnneLauren]

Thank you!! 🥹❤️

[@Ria.Nguyen]

I could listen to you talk about fragrances all day. 🥰 I purchased a sample of amethyst haze recently per your suggestion. I can’t wait to try it out.

[@AnneLauren]

Thank you Maria! I hope you love it! 😍

[@MissDJV]

I took a deep breath..and went ahead and purchased the EBK choice. I really hope I love it

[@ChescoYT]

Beautiful descriptions Anne. Black looks amazing on you! 🚀 Have a great day!

[@AnneLauren]

Thank you! You as well!

[@janbrown8939]

I would love to see your entire collection in one frame... 💜

[@frenchdesk8891]

Circling back because I just received Deep and Desire Yacht from EBK. The ordering process was seamless. You can request 30 ml/1 ounce if unsure for $155 including shipping which was the route I took. I received 5 other samples and product came in 4 days from Dubai. Delicious! I don’t get blueberry at all-but like a rich B’s version of dark Welches grape juice with all the other notes. Makes sense bc grapes are noted. Thanks for the yummy recommendation!

[@heidikulick5663]

I literally just received my full bottle of Rosendo Mateu No 5 yesterday. When I first sprayed my sample of it my roommate, who usually gives me a hard time about my fragrance purchases, walked into the room and said "do I smell saffron? Whatever that is, you need to order a full bottle immediately!" That was all the validation I needed! It's incredible.

[@AnneLauren]

I love it! 😆❤️

[@sibyl999]

OMG I need to try that Yacht, the Amethyst Haze and Rosendo #5! asap

[@zekhethelombatha]

Changing Constance by Penhaligon's has a smoothness and creaminess that I prefer to Minuit et Demi as a gourmand. Although CC quickly becomes a skin scent, it has a better dry down in my opinion. I would love to see a comparison of the two from you.

[@Moraima_Buonafede]

So many of my favorites!, You’re 100% right they are the best of the best 🥰🥰

[@AnneLauren]

Thank you!! ❤

[@thedana89]

I have to try Eau Duelle already! I love how you describe fragrances

[@meganw7956]

I’ve never found a reviewer who had the exact same taste in perfume as me! So thankful for all your videos

[@AnneLauren]

Awe I love that! ❤

[@mariezapanta8839]

I know I told you this before and I will keep reminding myself… I bought my CH Amethyst Haze after I saw your past video describing it…and it’s one of my best blind buys, one of my fragrances for life and one of my absolute all year round staple. I absolutely LOVE it! ❤️Digging the lipstick! Stunning!💋

[@AnneLauren]

😍😍 that makes me so happy to hear!! xx and thank you so much!

[@amandahodge3809]

Another great video, girl!!!! I don’t know if you’ve done a video on this topic yet, but could you make a video on frags that are suitable for ALL seasons while also being great performing/beast mode frags? Thanks In advance and I love your content! ✨

[@AnneLauren]

Thank you! I have! It’s in my “best of season” playlist 🥰

[@MissDJV]

My EBK is ALREADY here. Talk about fast shipping. And the scent is exactly how you describe - so unique and different…Absolutely amazing. So happy I got it ❤😊

[@Doebun0]

Where did you purchase it?

[@MyFragranceTrail]

Yaaaaaaaaay! You made a part 2!!! Love it 🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@AnneLauren]

❤️❤️ Thank you!

[@princesslopez4335]

Noooooo 😢 please make that part 3 I love all your videos with your opinions & banter both hilarious and informative, best of both worlds! Thanks in advance 😉😂 If diptyques eau duelle is anything like the greeness of diors addict I’ll be ok I’ve been meaning to try this for a while because I love vanillas but I wasn’t sure if I should go with the EDP OR THE EDT!

[@AnneLauren]

Awe thank you, I appreciate you 🥹❤️ I find Eau Duelle to be more green than Addict :) The EDP and EDT are very similar! The EDP is a touch more vanilla, more woody and warm, the EDT more sparkling & aromatic

[@dianahorvath4708]

Yesterday I got Eau duelle and ooh my god, it is a fantastic fragrance. Thanks the recommodation! ❤

[@AnneLauren]

So glad you enjoy it! ❤️❤️

[@dianahorvath4708]

I ordered Note Vanille because of You! I’m very excited 😊❤

[@jenniferlee9029]

Hi Anne!!!!! Love these videos. I bought a full bottle of Woodsage and Sea salt from Jo Malone because I had a sample and OMG its a lifer for me. Wish it lasted longer but I'm too in love with the smell of it to care!!!!🥰

[@AnneLauren]

Awe I’m so glad! ❤

[@NorthernScentsAlaska]

I've been in love with Silky Woods by Gallagher fragrances, its a toned down version of By The Fireplace, because I'm not always in the mood for BTFs strength. I have 2 bottles of Silky Woods

[@SharidaM]

I’m with you really starting to only want obsessions in my collection. Damn the like it a lots! Minuit et Demi just does NOT get enough love.

[@AnneLauren]

Yesss I just love the feeling of looking at my collection and feeling 100% about everything 😍

[@kaytherese5151]

Okay but as someone who loved the Disney Fairies franchise growing up, I loved your comments about the tinker fairies wearing Eau Duelle 😂

[@AnneLauren]

oh my gosh thank you 😂😂❤️

[@shainawigg6751]

Agreed in Vanilla 28! Mine is as dark as yours and it is amazing!

[@theprousteffect9717]

I empathize with the search for straight-forward but non-boring vanillas. Chris from The Perfume Nest recommended Vaniglia del Madagascar by Farmacia SS. Annunziata. It was near perfection, so well done, almost edible, reminiscent of a faintly citrusy vanilla pastry with freshly whipped cream on top in a fine French pâttiserie. I kept my sample for months before trying it, and as soon as I did, I learned it was discontinued. Pissed. Still not over it, clearly 😆 It's just so difficult to find vanilla done right. You're very entertaining, I always look forward to your uploads!

[@AnneLauren]

It's tougher than I thought! I've been testing a bunch for a "best vanillas" video I'm working on, and I thought I was gonna end up with a giant wishlist afterwards.. I've only added one so far 😅 Thank you always for your support! ❤️

[@jd_lifestyle]

I totally get what you mean about the tinker fairies smelling like that fragrance lol 🧚‍♀️ Those movies are great! 💜

[@AnneLauren]

😂❤ oh wonderful hahah, I loved those movies 😁

[@babysparks05]

eu deulle is beautifullll. diptyque kills it every time. fleur de peau is my #1 fave perfume

[@julieboley7190]

I have several samples on the way for which you were a direct influence!❤ Can't wait to try Amethyst Haze and Liis Bo.

[@AnneLauren]

😍😍😍 I hope you love them as much as I do!

[@sarahglen1140]

Me too! Not Liis Bo yet, but several that she has recommended. CH, another 13, eau duelle, No. 5, and a couple more... I am so excited 😆

[@deelight662]

[@AnneLauren]

thank you!

[@thelifewithbee]

I want them all !! 😩

[@alinabosse1699]

I also have to truly love a fragrance for it to have a place in my collection. I don't just wanna like them, it's all or nothing 🖤

[@AnneLauren]

Exactly 👌🏼

[@freckledklutz]

I totally got your references to fairies and Harry Potter unicorns girl I loved it! And the more you talk about liis bo the more I want it. I am on a ban till I can finish a couple rollerballs and some full sized ones but damn if I don't want to keep adding them in left and right!

[@AnneLauren]

Ah thank you for validating me 😂❤ after your ban then!! 😁

[@mojamoravia]

Hi Anne! Love your channel, I am always checking if there's a new video out 😅. Have you ever tried anything from Ex Nihilo? I would love to hear your thoughts on their fragrances. We have very similar taste and I think they are incredible. Especially Gold Immortals, it's like BR540's and Delina Exclusif's quirky cousin.

[@AnneLauren]

Hi! Yes, I've reviewed a lot from their brand! I've also covered Gold Immortals in an episode of my "unfiltered opinions" :)

[@colorsbykat9381]

What a fun video! I don’t know if you’ve already done one, but I would love if you could do a video of the best vanilla perfumes in your collection. I’m new to the game and want to add more yummy vanillas to my collection. I love your descriptions!

[@mamenamamena]

Go to her channel and browse through the videos

[@leilani_808]

Vanilla lover here! Omg you need to get your hand on Outremer Vanille. It is the most easiest reach when it comes to vanilla - next to Kayali 28. They both are great used alone or as a layering fragrance. Vanille (if you don’t already have it) can be purchased for around $16.-$20. on Anthropologie or Smallflower. If you subscribe, you can get 15-20% off. Welcome to this fun, addicting world of fragrances!!

[@AnneLauren]

Perfect timing, I’m actually currently working on one! I’ll have it out in the next couple weeks ❤❤

[@SharidaM]

Ok adding Amethyst Haze on my to try list!

[@aliciabutler9049]

I absolutely love ur Channel. Still wanting to get that Thameen Blue Heart and Schertzo!!

[@vaneguerra]

Jazz Club is so so good, that's my signature scent and i also feel so confident whenever i wear it and you're so right with the performance, easily 8 hours on my skin. The fairies got lost in me definitely but loved your enthusiasm trying to explain hahaha. Great video as always, much love 💙

[@marielle7505]

That's so strange. I absolutely love Jazz Club, but it doesn't last on me at all. Very weak projection too.

[@vaneguerra]

@@marielle7505 dang, such a shame because it's a lovely smell

[@AnneLauren]

😍😍 what an incredibleee signature scent!

[@bettybbags]

Anne, I love you! I just got Bo by Liis and I LOVE IT! You MUST try Serge Lutens Fille En Aigulles...I've been on that sticky woods kick and Bo by Liis is exactly what I imagined it to be and it's a fraction of the price of Fille En Aiguilles. What a great find! Now you're making me want to acquire all the redwoods and pine scent lol...I'm loving Dasein Winter Nights $125 (get your nose on this one for the fall/winter, it's magical) and am curious about Sequoia by Comme des Garcons :) :)

[@AnneLauren]

Yay!! I'm so glad! ❤️❤️ I'll have to look into those!

[@sugarbardiva]

YAS, yummy. some new ones to me here 😊 also, dying to know for some time now, what lipstick/shade are you wearing? it’s lovely on you

[@AnneLauren]

Thank you!! NYX Suede matte lip liner in Sandstorm and Anastasia lip gloss in Toffee 🥰

[@-White-Noiz-]

Bought a sample of Liis Bo and can't wait to try it

[@-White-Noiz-]

Reporting back: It's really unique but I'm not sure I like it.

[@DanielleNicoleMakeup]

I just got Kayali Vanilla 28. It is to die for! Can't wait for the juice to darken. Utopia 21 is one of my all time favs though

[@marielle7505]

I just bought one, too. Very dark already though.

[@AnneLauren]

Love that one as well!

[@victoriaperez3815]

The amount of 💰💰I have spent bc of your recommendations 😅 All so so good!!

[@lindascull6327]

Love your hair you look so pretty okay now I will watch!

[@AnneLauren]

Awe thank you!

[@sebouquin2430]

Just ordered the Liis discovery set… 🤨 I’m blaming you. 😅 I’m at least going to try before I buy since all their scents seem right up my alley. Can’t wait to sniff! ❤

[@AnneLauren]

😍😍😍

[@SharidaM]

Looking gorgeous and chic as usual 💞

[@AnneLauren]

🥹 thank you love! ❤

[@julienyoung4549]

Looks like we have same type of notes. I hate orange blossom note too in my perfumes.. question though, which would u recommend between Greenwich Village and Minuit et Demi? I bought a sample of Minuit et Demi as per ur recommendation and fell in love with it. But haven't found a sample for Nond no. 9 Greenwich Village. Cant get a chance to go to the mall at all. Thank you! Would appreciate your recommendation.

[@yramajbjajs1593]

You are the one that made me wanna try liis bo and after i tried it i bought a full bottle right away😊

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

I'm about to do the same thing next payday, all because of Anne's continued enthusiasm. I love the idea of something grounding, meditative, woodsy and cosy. How would YOU describe it? What does it smell like to you? Which notes stand out? Which other fragrance does it most remind you of? 😊

[@AnneLauren]

🤩🤩 ahhh I’m so glad you love it too!

[@sarahglen1140]

I am not going to lie, I have been binging your channel, and was watching this vid (again), on my way to work. You have amazing taste, and I have been LOVING many of your reqs. I have some samples on the way that I am too excited to try from your suggestion. And I thought you might like my SOTD that I got a sample of? I had gotten a sample pack of Widian's Black collection, and they are all stunners, but I have been loving I and II in particular. Wearing I today and thought you might like it. Though it might have too much cinnamon for you, but thought I'd let you know about it. Love your work, lady, keep it up! #nothelpingmyaddictionbutpleasekeepthesuggestionsrolling

[@AnneLauren]

Thank you!! Oh yeah, it looks like it may be too cinnamon heavy for me, but those notes look amazing!

[@mariezapanta8839]

Note Vanille and Rosendo Mateu No 5 are on my wishlist 🥰

[@AnneLauren]

😍😍

[@peninalipkin2974]

Finally I meet someone else who loves Minuit et demi as much as me i have it too and yeah its also one of mine for lifes. have you tried Changing Constance by Penhaligons? i own both they smell so similar

[@AnneLauren]

I actually have a sample that arrived yesterday 😁😁 I can’t wait to try it

[@arizel06]

The only fragrance in your list that is available here in Japan is Diptyque eau Duelle T_T I love your choices of fragrance. They sound delicious. I love how you describe them.

[@AnneLauren]

Thank you! ❤

[@lauraonlight]

Wow you’re stunning🤩♥️ I have Xerjoff Golden Dallah, you said it’s similar to Minuit et Demi right? I though I might mix it with vanilla 28 to sweeten it up a bit and to make it even similar!

[@TinyDancer01]

They are similar but different at the same time. I think xerjoff is spicier and minuite et demi is sweeter and more gourmand. I like to do a few spritzes of golden dallah and then a few of italica on top. It makes it more of luxury coffee shop with an italian biscotti on the side.

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

Minuit et Demi is a lot like Changing Constance by Penhaligons. If someone likes Angel by Mugler, Mon Parfum by M Micallef, that sort of thing, then they'll most likely love Minuit et Demi. I have no interest in it but each to their own. The fragrance which is slightly adjacent to the aforementioned olfactory 'vibe', which I find impossible to dupe and is worthy of an entire conversation, is 'The Rose' by Musicology. It's incredibly strong and unusual bordering on weird. Nobody talks about it on YT but I'd love to know what other people think of it. To me it reads as a failed brief for a household cleaning item fragrance, originally intended for a corrosive base (like bleach etc) but picked up by a perfume house and fiddled with until releasable as a niche body fragrance. I wonder if anybody else got this impression... 🤔 Controversial perhaps, but it's honestly all I could think of.

[@AnneLauren]

Awe thank you! ❤️ I do find them similar but not too much. Golden Dallah is more thick, dark, and rich in comparison. I get more of the dark roast coffee beans, cacao, incense.. and idk about you, but I do smell a warm cinnamon apple vibe, which Minuit et Demi doesn't have :)

[@LisaFragrance]

I bought a tiny 2ml sample of EBK Deep N Desire.....and baby...I had to have it! I’m currently waiting in tremendous impatience for my bottle to arrive. 😫🤣

[@AnneLauren]

😍😍 Ahh I'm so excited for you!!

[@staciashafer9251]

Amethyst Haze👏👏 finally have a bottle on the way, so I can retire my decant or fill it up🤣

[@AnneLauren]

😍😍😍

[@janika1339]

Love your Videos - just wanted to let you know that Note Vanille was reformulated and the juice in the new packaging smells completely different! I am so happy that I still have an old bottle…

[@AnneLauren]

Nooo really? 🥺 does it make a difference as it macerates?

[@janika1339]

@@AnneLauren that‘s what I thought in the beginning. I guess they had to cancel out Linalool which made the scent different. The bottle I had was only one year older than the repackaged one. Juice looks completely different which could be because of Vanilla but it smells like two different scents.😞

[@perfume_storeez]

You should try "Ganimede " Marc-Antoine Barrois. 🤪

[@Jenn-777]

Gosh I feel exactly the same with vanilla it’s always to light and boring. I even expected much more the first time I smelt Spiritueuse Double Vanille Although I grew to enjoy in time, I can’t lie that I expected more initially. Kayali is beautiful! Just ordered Eau Duelle I really hope I like it, love the idea of the forest mixed with vanilla!

[@AnneLauren]

Oh yes 😍 I hope you love it as much as I do!

[@estelamusicvideos]

😂😂😂 I love the tinker fairy reference. I see you. I get you. 😂❤️

[@AnneLauren]

Ahh thank you 😂❤

[@BLARG09]

vanilla's I love is Angelique noire and kayali vanilla 28.

[@wenniejo4070]

I used to have jazz club and still love it but I decided it doesn't suit me after a while so I sold it earlier this year but the way you describe it I'm like "damn did I make a mistake? Should I try it again?" I like smelling it but I don't like how it makes me feel, if that makes sense? I feel like I'm wearing old man after shave I'm so jealous it works for you 😭😭😭

[@leilani_808]

It’s okay, I wanted to love it too since I love unisex fragrances & most work on my skin but JC turned masculine on me but it smells so darn good on hubby.

[@AnneLauren]

Totally okay! You should enjoy your fragrances to the fullest and they should feel like “you” 🥰

[@Tatiperez78]

Girl Amethyst Haze is now on my list!! I found it on Fragrance Buy and I am going to buy! Is this a long lasting perfume?

[@AnneLauren]

ohh yes, the performance is fantastic 😍

[@danielledifusco771]

I got Skylar Salt Air after you spoke so highly of it and it is just as good as you said it is! My bf cannot get behind Deep N Desire Yacht, says it smells like weed to him, but it’s a for like for me too. I don’t know what he is speaking about. His nose is messed up from Covid I swear.

[@AnneLauren]

Weed?! Oh my, it must be 😅

[@evil.Cupcake]

Have you ever tried Indult Tihota? I recieved a sample a while back and it's so nice! One of the best vanillas.

[@AnneLauren]

Yes I mention in the video that I was bored with it 😬

[@evil.Cupcake]

@@AnneLauren oops my brain must have missed it XD

[@nordicskibunny]

For a time I blind bought recommends from another channel and was always disappointed. There were gems but 9/10 times I was like…mnyeh! Then I found you Anné and literally EVERYTHING you recommend I fricken love. I don’t like green, boom eau duelle is my fav. I didn’t pay attention to coffee break….now I can’t stop smelling myself. Carolina Herrera was a house I ignored….slam, that fragrance knocked me out. I could go on….santal vanille, apres. Omg. One of these houses needs you in the lab pronto!

[@AnneLauren]

🥹🥹🥹 no way!! Ahh that makes me so happy to hear you're enjoying my recommendations!! ❤️

[@sarahglen1140]

I absolutely agree! I've got an order from scent split on the way right now with a bunch of her suggestions, and I can't wait! Loved most of the stuff she suggests!

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

I want to love Vanilla 28 so much more than I do. On me in turns watery and insipid and that gorgeous boozy depth that I was hoping for just never arrives. It must be my skin. However my interest was intensely piqued to hear you talk about the scent profile changing as the colour of the juice alters with time too. Oooh, I'm going to conduct an experiment now. Thanks Anne! PS= I get why you're unmoved by Tihota, Fire at Will and Insulo. Vanilla-forward fragrances really split a room and that category is nowhere near as easy to find gold medal winners in as one would assume. There's a lot of musty, dusty 'Little Tree' action in there. 😂

[@AnneLauren]

You may change your mind with the darker juice, who knows! And seriously! I was all ready to experience the hype but I was left so .. "meh" 😅

[@tomandellentravel1557]

Can I ask you how amethyst haze compares to coffee break and mon guerlain intense? And I suppose in a lesser way to lavandes trianon? I love, love love love, a lavender vanilla so amethyst haze just rocked to the top of my wish list 😂

[@AnneLauren]

It's definitely the most comparable to Coffee Break (but not too close that you couldn't have both) out of that set, not close at all to the other two! The lavender is more pronounced in AH, it also has far better performance, doesn't have as much of that lactonic quality, and it's not as sweet. AH feels more polished & has more spice and wood, where CB is more gourmand. Hope that helps :)

[@folklorien]

Oh my god the Tinkerbell movie reference - Eau Duelle is absolutely a tinker fairy perfume lol

Anne, where did you buy amythest haze? The only place i can find a full bottle of amythest haze is harrods and they want like 42$ shipping. Does anyone know where to get it in the u.s?

[@AnneLauren]

Unfortunately it’s a Harrod’s exclusive!

How does eau duelle compare to vanilla woods? Thanks Anne!! 🥰

[@AnneLauren]

Extremelyy different! If you've ever smelled Goldfield & Banks Silky Woods, that's actually much closer to Vanilla Woods. For the first 1-2 hours of VW, I get a slight dirty, animalic earthy wood note, after that it’s gone (I don't hear anyone else talking about that though). Also in the opening, a slight smoke note. The vanilla is very creamy, sugary, and powdery and is the main thing dominating the fragrance. Hope that helps :)

[@anyadeering]

thanks for such a thorough answer!! VW gives me….. vanilla baby corn in a way I actually love. (I can’t imagine a more beautiful thing WOO) lol. i guess i’ll have to try the G&B and eau duelle then!!

[@AnneLauren]

@@anyadeering 😆😆 my pleasure!

I feel like you did me dirty with that Liis Bo but I don’t want to break up lol We’re both walking around smelling like the shavings at the bottom of a hamster cage, I love that for us ❤

[@AnneLauren]

Oh my goodness, luckily I don’t get that at all 😅

[@conniethehbk3131]

🤣 I wish I could smell the vanilla in it

[@ThePerfumeNest]

I think I will FINALLY do this video...I just could not narrow it down....but I am going for it. LOL

🤩 I can’t wait to see what you pick!! I know Coromandel will be on there ;)

[@michelemarie7777]

Where can I buy a sample of Liis?

[@AnneLauren]

I always have links to where you can purchase the fragrances in the description box (except for in my older videos), and I have a list of sites where I like to get samples from included in the description box as well. For Liis, the link takes you to a sample you can get from Luckyscent :)

Nefs at First sniff was no that good I was smelling like a rose jam in term of a strawberry jam but with rose, but wen I wear and tried more and giving it more opportunity I fall in love it’s amazing rose oud safron honey vanilla and the projection an longevity are the best nefs it’s a beast mode definitely 9/10

[@penelopepalm]

So here’s my problem. I sampled note vanille and I loved it. when the new bottles came out I bought a bottle Directly from micallef. And it seems really different than the sample - like rubbing alcohol and florals with just a hint of vanilla. I tried waiting for a while hoping it just needed to settle but it’s still bugging me. Has anyone else had this problem? I’m wondering if it was reformulated or if maybe I have a bad bottle.

[@-White-Noiz-]

Maybe it need to macerate a bit

[@penelopepalm]

@@-White-Noiz- I’m hoping that’s it.

[@AnneLauren]

Really?? 🥺 awe man, I hope it just need to macerate then as Anna said

Salt Air and Kayali Vanilla would be on my top ten for life list too. ❤ Also, I’ve IG and emailed EBK for a discovery set and they didn’t reply to either 😢

I've never found one that I've loved haha. Black Phantom is too dark of a chocolate and coffee for my taste :)

Kayali’s Vanilla over Indult’s Tihota?! I beg to differ.

[@marielle7505]

I wore my Kayali Vanilla 28 yesterday, and someone said: ooeh, I smell waffles! ... Is that good...?

[@AnneLauren]

hahah I guess that depends on if you like the sound of that 😆 I always get told I smell like vanilla ice cream when I wear that one!
