[@sebouquin2430]

It’s amusing that people get upset that you’ve decluttered something you raved about once upon a time. You’ve made it pretty clear that you’re very picky and have no intention of having a 500+ perfume collection. There’s definitely no reason for me to be offended that you let go of things I love. LOL I still love them, and I’m not letting them go. People are so goofy, but you handled it graciously and entertainingly. 😊

[@AnneLauren]

Thank you! Absolutely! Everyone's collection should be personal, it doesn't have to match the preferences of someone online

[@Esh486]

I don't get it either. It seems that some people think KZbinrs and other influencers are never allowed to change their mind about anything... if they said they loved something, they have to love it forever. 🤦‍♀

[@frenchdesk8891]

Thanks for keeping it real! Perfumes are like people-good for a reason, a season or (very few) a lifetime! I check in periodically with my collection to see if each fragrance is worthy and decluttered a bunch.

[@Esoteraeon]

I honestly LOVE it when people rip into perfumes and are super honest. It saves me money when I'm testing out something and on the fence of buying it. I have friends who'll tell me if it smells like wet cigarettes, bathroom cleaner citrus, pepper spray, gasoline, a PS4 😂

[@AnneLauren]

OMG that's quite the list! 😂😂

[@olihaga9736]

😂 What? There is a oerfume smelling like a PS4? Which one? I want it, but I hope it doesn't not smell like PS5 cause it's not my thing😂

[@results_not_found]

Ahhh Anne! Your declutter-related videos are my guilty pleasure. Being a fellow fragrance lover with a sizable collection, I often found myself lost in my gems. So, I created a Notion template to keep track of my declutters, wishlists, budget, and overall collection. It's been a game-changer for me, and I thought it might be helpful for other fragrance enthusiasts too. If you or anyone else is interested, just let me know! Looking forward to more of your wonderful declutter videos!

[@ems_h.eartnotes]

I'm so with you. If it's not an absolute love, right now, it's out. I don't want stuff sitting there just for the sake of it

[@stephaniec4766]

I love watching declutters, it’s an interesting way to learn about the perfumes and your preferences. I also appreciate the heads up at the beginning to skip forward if we didn’t want to hear descriptions that might ruin a scent for us! 😊

[@AnneLauren]

Of course! 😆

[@victoriam.6430]

I love the idea of curating my collection too! I’m a lot more mindful of what I bring in and if a perfume I’m considering is similar to something I have, I don’t bring it in until I use up the one I have. It really helps keep the size of my collection down. Great video as always! 👍🏻

[@AnneLauren]

That’s a great tip! And thank you!

[@singlehandedbeauty3581]

Decluttering an amazing perfume that doesn't feel like you is totally a valid reason to declutter. I too am only keeping fragrances that I absolutely adore, sampling more, and blind-buying less.

[@juliefaithrn]

You are absolutely right! I decluttered Dior Addict. It was years ago, so closer to original release. It just overpowered me. It wore me.

[@mariafox9232]

I would love a "how" to declutter your collection video! Especially great sites/ resources to re-sell.

[@DomiWolfgang]

This is the video that made me subscribe! The "I'm gonna do me" bit just WOW. Love the reviews, the tone, and the personality!😊

[@samanthalichauco]

Totally can relate with loving Rose and Iris floral scents. Thank you for doing this! It’s helping me also rethink about what my perfumes smell like and what’s worth keeping haha

[@cindylund8299]

Anne, you are a kickassss reviewer. Just love your vibe and realness I appreciate your abrasive ( in a great way) of describing perfumes. You also crack me up. Thank you!!

[@AnneLauren]

Thank you so much Cindy!!

[@hadesisbaby]

I LOVE your mindset of “no likes, only LOVES” in your collection. And how you want everything to truly feel like YOU. It’s inspired me sooo much to be more mindful and careful with what I put in my own collection. Not to mention I’ve have substantially less blind buys. Thx for being a good influence on be bby! 🤎🖤🤎🖤🤎

[@pristittt]

For some reason declutter videos is where I feel more trust towards the person doing them

[@srey_504]

I’m definitely a fan of Anne, keep doing what you’re doing.

[@AnneLauren]

Thank you so much!! 🙏🏼

[@jasmin.Mason1990]

Hi Anne, I know I'm late to watching this video. But I watched it and thought to myself you rolled this out perfectly. I thoroughly enjoyed this, more of this content please.

[@addiebarrilo339]

January was the typical mid winter panic clean for me (NY living it’s finest) and I decluttered sooooo many (as usual) and man it felt good. There’s nothing like clearing out your perfumes and seeing that extra room open up..for more obviously but still. I was high off that shit for weeks. Go ahead girl💃🏽

[@AnneLauren]

Yess I feel so refreshed!

[@calebgodard4554]

Great video. Sad when a frag I loved becomes one not worth owning but it happens. Thanks for sharing!

[@juliareid3258]

Wood sage and sea is one of those smells I’d like to smell at a spa or yoga/pilates studio, but not necessarily on myself 😄🙈

[@hiral8521]

Hiii! Love these types of videos. Are you selling these on third party sites?

[@aroomwithperfume]

I am going to try to go into this next week with your “you do you, but I’m going to do me” vibe bc I need more of that in my life Also totally get what you mean about taste evolving! I fall in and out of love with fragrances sometimes just like I do with food and clothing and music

[@AnneLauren]

exactly! ❤️

[@sarahglen1140]

I saw that video, and was wondering about a couple, but I figured you had had your time with them, and decided they weren't for you. No shame in that. You have always been up front about being true to yourself and curating a lot. I love Wood Sage & Sea Salt, it reminds me of my grandma, but I'm the best way possible. I only have a little 9ml of it though, and really just use it for when I want to be comforted, or sometimes to go to bed, but that's really it.

[@AnneLauren]

Awe I agree, it's a very calming, comforting scent ❤️

[@darlenealvino8799]

I 100% agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL of the fragrances I own, I absolutely LOVE and no matter what I grab to wear I am extremely excited!!!!!! LOVES ONLY! xo

[@AnneLauren]

That's the best kind of collection to have!

[@Lel-nl7yv]

You explained La Capitale so well! I get the exact same feeling with it! I was so excited to receive it after hearing so many compliments about this perfume, I was mostly excited about the strawberry note and how delicious the notes sounded together. And then I wore it and it was just completely overwhelming that i couldn't wait to get home and rid myself of it. I tested it on a paper strip too and it smelled so good days after lol

[@AnneLauren]

It lasts very well!

[@charmedbymeghan]

I know EXACTLY what you mean by someone saying a fragrance smells like something and then not being able to get it out of my head. This has happened before for sure. And I've done this to other people too 🙊

[@desireeohrbeck2282]

Thank you for this video - especially the opening. You do you 🙂Are you selling the fragrances you are parting with somewhere? - link, please 🙂

[@derrickjenniferwatkins1394]

You tube randomly suggested this video and i must say, love your personality!

[@AnneLauren]

thank you!

[@Dria.Unedited]

I'm all here for a capsule fragrance collection ❤️❤️❤️

[@charmedbymeghan]

It seems like people are TRYING to love these beautiful fragrances more than actually loving them. Because you can smell it's unique.. it smells good.. it smells quality. And a perfume can be all of these things and still not Full Bottle Worthy for your tastes. And that's ok. I would love to hear about these experiences too. I only want the best of the best fragrances in my collection that I love.

[@tblub.9270]

I’m so happy you are shining some light on Genre Parfums. They are my favorite house right now. I love so many of their offerings. My absolute favorite is an og called Jane. I’m so in love with this fragrance. They have so many that are loves for me, though . I tell all of my friends about Genre. The quality, pricing and the customer service is chefs kiss for me!! Have you tried their dupe for Mason Matha Escapad Gourmand called Mello Vanillo? Oooh it’s sweet and spicy 😍 I just want to live my fragrances and I have so many in my collection that are just like. I am a blind buy type of person so I’ve ended up some duds for sure. You had some really interesting ones here that you’re get rid d of.

[@AnneLauren]

It's a great house! ❤️ Escapade Gourmande is too simple for my taste, but I'm glad you're enjoying Genre's version of it :)

[@ciciloves6700]

Love this video. Once I read a few reviews of fragrances I enjoyed that included “cola” or smells like flat coke… I had to sell them. It’s real hard to unknow this stuff!

[@AnneLauren]

really though!

[@naamahnotorious955]

It's often a question of changing body chemistry. The way a perfume interacts with your skin is not static, it's dynamic. And sometimes that changes the way we enjoy it. It's all good.

[@Mimi31_]

I finally boarded the Cloud train, but I really wanted to get the intense. Wellll I sprayed both versions on my hands and my daughter told me the intense smelled like something that would be sold in Justice or Claire’s. I was so offended lol.

[@AnneLauren]

oop - 😳😅

[@ylvandamme]

People are ridiculous. I too like a curated collection. I keep my collection at 35 and only own what I can’t live without. I tend to prefer niche scents so it also keeps me from overspending . Just keep doing you!

[@AnneLauren]

Thank you! That's a great size!

[@hayley.clough]

This made me laugh so much! I am only 5 minutes in and I completely get you!! I’ve had many situations in terms of associating fragrances to a smell and then next thing you know…. It’s all I can smell. Had many fallen angels due to this! 😂

[@AnneLauren]

Ah it’s awful! 😂😂

[@Melissa__F]

As soon as you described THAT thing, I was like “yeah, Juicyfruit gum.” And then it appears 😂

[@robinwhite4050]

I hear you on this!

[@christinayoussef7482]

I really shokedddddddddddd 😮when I saw you decluttered La Capital and Dolce Amalfi !!!!!!! I discovered your channel when I looked for best of xerjoff house, and I went to Neiman Marcus to test La Capital based on your reaction in that video about it , I really really liked it alot and found it so so sexy, and definitely will get a full bottle, I wanna get Dolce amalfi too because I like how you described it, tell me please that not usual and I will not hate them after 4 months of purchase them 😂😂

[@janice.sais.quoi.]

Your intro was hilarious - people be getting up in arms about every little thing 😂 would love to hear how you’re liking Tangerine Boy. I loved it on a tester but debated if it’s too simple or linear.

[@AnneLauren]

I'm still really enjoying it! It is a more simple scent, and it won't be a love for everyone, but I like it! It's so refreshing, zesty, and I love the touch of edge that it has from ginger 😊 A good easy reach option for hot days imo! I would get the travel size and see what you think :)

[@janice.sais.quoi.]

@@AnneLauren I have the travel spray in my Sephora cart! Will definitely give it a try. Thanks Anne 💕

[@mattybryan2011]

Hi Anne. Another winning video. Just out of interest, how long did you have the Meleg Mushin Incense before your perception of the fragrance changed? I have the 10pc sampler set, all of which I loved, but I think now I should revisit them after 18 months of ownership and see how they hit me after this time.

[@AnneLauren]

It was about 8 months later!

[@Ooohshesmellsgood]

You’re hilarious! Loved this video ❤️

[@AnneLauren]

thank you!❤️

[@amybasil7078]

Is there a Mercari account somewhere? 🤔

[@mindi5122]

Omgosh this was very informative! And now I’m feeling a bit stupid for ordering a backup bottle of something I love for fear I’ll come to it, and it will have changed?! Yikes, did I make a massive newbie mistake?? 😂

[@AnneLauren]

Awe no, don't feel stupid! Most of the time I don't have this issue, it's only very occasionally that I feel like a fragrance will change quite noticeably when it macerates. You should be good :) For the most part, the juice tends to just perform a bit better, maybe the scent gets a touch deeper. For future backup purchases, I would wait about 6 months of owning the scent before deciding for a backup, just to be sure :)

[@thescentstudioblog4182]

Eric, you did NOT do that to my beloved Memoirs of a Trespasser! 😭

[@AnneLauren]

😩😩😩

[@lindascull6327]

I'm so excited to watch this! Thank you so much big kiss! Oh my God one minute in and I have to re comment good on you honest-to-god good on you this is why I love you so much!

[@AnneLauren]

Awe thank you Linda! ❤️

[@seansimmons73]

I tried God of fire & it was a like but not a love. I think there's an oud note in the mid that's not working on my skin. However, I tried a sample of Mango kiss & it blew me away...until I saw the $300 price for a 50 mil which made cringe. I'll eventually get a bottle of MK but I got to save up, too many things on my to buy list

[@tammerahooper9813]

Thankyou 🌺

[@marieantoinette3451]

Anne! You shouldn't have to explain and certainly not apoligize to other people's opinions on your own collection! You are my favorite and most in -line with my very picky fragrence types. I just got my first "Big girl bottle 3.3 oz" of Ylang in Gold" yesterday based on your magical fairy/princess video and Ive got a big list 😅✨️ My next bottle (and this one has grown on me slowly 😂) Bal D Afrique! Also need Rosendo Mateau No 5 and G Water but I'm on the fence which Byredo to buy 😢 I absolutely love buying travel sprays. It gives me about a month or so to really get a good grasp on if I need it FBW ❤ LOVE YOUR Videos!!! p.s. I think all Jo Malone smell cheap to me. I don't get the hype 🤷‍♀️ And although im only about 3 minute's in the video..Im wondering do you sell your declutter perfumes?! I re-sell mine on Mercari or Poshmark. I only wish there was a perfume swap website!! P.S. You mention buying samples.. have you ever tried a perfume subscription box?? I think about 1/3 of an ounce is really truly enough for most perfumes. I may wesr it for a few weeks and be over it! I wish someone would do a recommendation video on what to try on these subscription boxes (hint hint video please 😂) I have used Scentbix, PURPLUX, Fragrencenet and want to try Royalty Scents.

[@PoneThePerfumer]

My first impression of Dolce Amalfi was that it smelled like Juicy Fruit gum, but I still love it! Great lasting power too.

[@AnneLauren]

Xerjoff performance is insane!

[@mommyof6brats]

I heard that Santal 33 smells like pickles. As soon as I spray it, that’s all I smell now. Ruined it for me.

[@AnneLauren]

yeah some people pick up that quality in sandalwood fragrances 😩💔

[@XZPLICITSKILZ]

run for president you have my vote

[@yeezy7751]

girllll!!! i bought dolce amalfi in a moment of nationalism when i saw that its perfumer is bulgarian. "gum" is what i got, immediately. it's hard to wear, i agree.

[@ohdamnamb]

It’s funny people give you crap for decluttering. I’m constantly curating my collection and if something I loved doesn’t feel like me anymore then it’s out. 2023 I’m getting my decant life on. If I don’t get through a 10 ml I don’t need the full bottle.

[@stephaniec4766]

Yesssss decants are where it’s at, I do the same.

[@AnneLauren]

I'm like let me have my perfect collection thank you 😅

[@notesdecoeur]

I actually love dolce amalfi and that it smells like juicy fruit with the contrasting spices. Maybe people just smelled the opening 😆

[@seansimmons73]

I got the juicy fruit vibe from Dolce Almofe immediately, but it's what I like about the fragrance. I wear it usually around Halloween with a shirt with pink in it because bubble gum was my favorite thing to get when trick or treating. You're not wrong about a fragrance changing on your skin. I'm a gym rat, so my diet a lot changes depending on if I'm trying to gain muscle or lose weight. For example, I love Silver mountain water by Creed when I'm losing weight, but when I'm bulking up, the metallic note gets so strong that it becomes almost unwearable for me

[@maxies2000]

Omg I’m so inspired to declutter! I have perfumes that I like but don’t love and I really don’t reach for them. I feel like others could appreciate them more ❤

[@AnneLauren]

Yess! It's refreshing honestly

[@Moraima_Buonafede]

I totally get it what you mean when people talk about what a perfume smells like, and I could potentially spoil it for you, I try as much as possible to turn a blind ear to comparisons on my favorite fragrances cause I don’t wanna mess them up 😂

[@eugeniabraz5409]

thank you Autumn!

[@anicac4424]

Lol. I got a sample and just purchased Dolce Amalfi cuz I want to smell like a piece of Juicy Fruit gum. 😂 . Sugary sweet is not usually my vibe, but this one pulled me in a nostalgic memory sort of way.

[@AnneLauren]

[@AnneLauren]

Oh I’m glad you don’t!! It’s a great fragrance!

[@scentedtemptation]

@@AnneLauren yes 😊😁 I'm happy as well. But frankly it was a blind buy even after I listened to everyone calling it a bubble gum 😅 and because of it I was expecting something much sweeter. I get Green Apples and Quince in the opening + lots of spices and that is how I continue smelling it on its dry down... spicy. But no bubble gum for my nose. It's so interesting how different our noses perceive tge same scents 😁

[@lisalefevbre2562]

Sometimes I get the Juicy Fruit and other times I just get this wonderful warm spicy scent. I just take whatever I get in the moment because to me it all smells good no matter what. I think that our noses can be strange like that and pick up on certain notes one day and not another. I am not sure why, but defiintely finding this to be true on my fragrance journey.

hahaha the first fragrance you mentioned here how your boyfriend smells like kitchen spices with a celery undertone i must be the only one who likes celery smell. i actually get a celery undertone from Velvet Chocolate and my husband says it smells like a kitchen sink sewer lol i dont even listen to him anymore! I also have had the problem with fragrances changing when they mascerate. i havent liked an apple note since the beginning maybe i am picky with what a buy but i to have been decluttering. i decluttered my Deep n desire yacht today because it is too fruity for me. i ended up buying la capitale last year because of your review! it was so good i never buy fragrances anymore based on influencers reviews but you we very convincing! lovely video. i also didnt like commodity milk it smelled like cleaning supplies and milk on me

I'm glad you're enjoying La Capitale!

[@drewyoung6506]

Have you smelled the re formulated sol de Janeiro cheirosa 62? I’d love to hear your thoughts on the old version vs the new.

[@AnneLauren]

Oh I didn't know they reformulated! My bottle was from a year ago, I'm not sure which version that would be

[@remi.fragrance]

Celery undertone 😂 I’m sorry but I couldn’t help but laugh way too loud out in public once I heard that

[@AnneLauren]

Omg!! 😂

[@penelopepalm]

Commodity was super overhyped. None of them work on their own including milk. It’s too milky on its own. La capitale is a super love for me, and one thing I like about it is it is clearly not for everyone. It reads completely different to me than to you. Wood sage and sea salt is nice too but I’m not sure how much I would wear it either. IMO the more you are exposed to new scents the more understanding it is that you fall more in love with something new and leave behind some scents. It happens to me too and I’m just regular. 😂

[@AnneLauren]

Awe I'm sorry to hear Commodity didn't work out for you. I do love my Book and Gold I'm glad La Capitale was such a hit for you! It's a stunning unique scent And I agree! The more fragrances we're introduced to, certain scents are going to really stand out amongst the rest.

[@thejungjungle]

I also think Milk smells like almond- I was looking so forward to smelling it and was confused when I did. Lovely, but not for me either 🙂

[@pusayarn815]

I hope you can put time stamps on your future vids 😊😊😊

[@dragonvet1556]

I would agree La Capital is not what you expect. I used to like it and now my nose picks up a cherry cough syrup vibe. I let that one go too 😞

[@AnneLauren]

oh interesting!

[@AmbercoolPhotography]

This is like everything in my house lol

[@Melissa__F]

You aren’t wrong. Commodity Milk’s Tonka is very almond-y.

[@freckledklutz]

Curious to know what you do with the ones you declutter. And honestly as people we are allowed to grow and change so why would be want to have scents we don't absolutely love in our stash? I think you nailed why I don't like milk its the freaking tonka/sandalwood vibe I think. I wish I got marshmallows. But not mad I will finish my sample as its a learning process for me. I am trying out all my samples lately and so many have been nice but not worth it for me or surprising but its keeping me honest. I don't want to not want to reach for something if that makes sense.

[@AnneLauren]

I will either give them to family, friends, or sell them :) & totally makes sense! I feel the same way with the majority of scents I sample.

[@BoHeaux]

The exact same thing happened to me with Dolce Amalfi. I sold it. And never could get past a specific scent in Milk-something smelled off on me. with La Capitale-I like it, but I kept having hesitancy, so I ended up not buying a bottle and then discovered Mula Mula, which I like much better. Similar. Have you tried it?

[@AnneLauren]

I have! It was a big like for me, but not quite full bottle worthy for what I'm personally looking for :)

That fruity strawberry & peach combo, which gets quickly overtaken by the leather, amber & ginger is just DIVINE to me! So grown up, but so fun at the same time!

[@AnneLauren]

oh no, never!! I'm ride or die for Another 13 😉 And La Capitale is great! I agree, grown up fruity!

Are you going to declutter EBK Deep n desire?

[@AnneLauren]

Nooo that is one of my top favorites!

[@paris.enigma]

Same here, that damn association. Two of which I still like, but the references are clear in my head and nose. They are Black Tier Roja as Urinal cake and Amouage Material as olive brine. For the life of me I can’t un-smell it. 😂😢

[@AnneLauren]

noooo 😩😅

[@Hai-.-]

Do you have a Mercari ?

[@SoFisticadedLayD]

Milk by Commodity….hear me out, it gives me the sensation right after a sneeze, or when you’ve exhaled too quickly after drinking soda. It tickles my nose terribly!

[@AnneLauren]

omg 😅

[@sanneparf]

Milk gave me a headache, I guess too much of that Iso E Super..

[@charmedbymeghan]

I feel the same way with Apple notes. Kayali Eden smells bright and fruity and good, but I don't want to smell like it. Not for me.

[@seasonferrell1364]

Haha my sons ruin scents for me all of the time!

[@AnneLauren]

aw man 😩😅

[@jenniferlee9029]

Hmmmmm.... has God of Fire crept into the top 10 for life category for you yet?🥰

[@AnneLauren]

I don't know if it's swapped out any of my top ten, but it's definitely in my top fruity fragrances! And I will absolutely repurchase it when I run out!

[@Cvr88]

My husband ruins soooo many lol

[@AnneLauren]

noooo 😅
