[@sideeffect2]

I'm so surprised you like BabyCat and Loubiprince! Your tastes have definitely grown. It's fun to watch your taste change! I adore Guidance and will probably be adding it to my collection! ❤️

[@thesimplechiclife]

I’m surprised about Loubiprince for sure; babycat honestly is such a crowd pleasing vanilla!!! I’m so thrilled that I love them.

[@pattieschulte700]

I love Guidance alot.

[@pattieschulte700]

Love LOUBIPRINCE too

[@Rosejessie]

I love watching your videos! Your voice gives me so much comfort. I love ivory route! Can’t wait to give these other ones a try they sound amazing ❤

[@thesimplechiclife]

Thank you 😊

[@leslie1555]

Very entertaining and informative. I started laughing when you got sooo excited over Ombré Magique!

[@BAW47]

So excited!!!! Putting coffee on and ready to relax and enjoy!!! I'm most excited that you are starting to enjoy woodsy scents 😍😍 THOSE ARE MY LOVE!!!!! I call them the "dark notes" and I find them to be cozy and comforting especially if paired with vanilla! I am expanding my scent profile as well. I am beginning to enjoy fresh scents. Any recommendations? I HATE light blue. I don't like too citrusy, too overwhelming fresh laundry, or aquatic (gives me headache) . Thinking Jo Malone sea salt & sage...it has some earthiness to it.

[@kristiepp22]

So many amazing purchases!! Thanks for sharing!

[@thesimplechiclife]

Thank you for watching 😊

[@theresa3]

They all sound so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@JLjljljljl989]

Love Jovoy Fire at will 😍

[@73Sibelle]

I have to say I am not really impressed by Babycat. It is just another hype. It smells very similar to Black Tie and The world according to Arthur - and I prefer Black Tie 100%. It is so much more elegant and nice.

[@perfeptions]

It seems it is also similar to Vanagloria by Laboratorio Olfattivo(also same perfumer), have you tried that one ?

[@royaltybeats22]

I definitely subscribed. I love gourmand perfumes.

[@eugeniabraz5409]

Wonderful to see you excited about perfume again! May have to try Babycat after all!❤️🇨🇦

[@thesimplechiclife]

Definitely!!! And think of it this way if you don’t love it, you’ll have no trouble getting it off your hands to someone else.

[@TressesOfAlexis]

I can’t wait to get my hands on Guidance. I just know I’m going to be obsessed!

[@possiblymaybe6711]

It’s phenomenal

[@ComeUnboxWithTheresa]

Great fragrance haul, I love babycat & fire at will!

[@thesimplechiclife]

Thank you!!!

[@wildflowers100]

Fire at Will sounds lovely!

[@pattieschulte700]

I am watching Again. Love it!! And you. I almost forgot!

[@Mimi31_]

I’ve recently added Ivory Route and Fire at Will to my collection as I’ve also been open to discovering deeper scents. I’m playing around with Ambre Magique now. Try getting your nose on Xerjoff Starlight and Ex Nihilo Atlas Fever. They’re so warm and addictive.

[@thesimplechiclife]

I would love to sample Starlight! It gets such great reviews. Going to have to check into Atlas Fever 💕

[@TheCherysTv]

Super excited ❤

[@thesimplechiclife]

Thank you love 💕

[@suzannejoos5116]

They all intrigue me. Beautiful choices. I would like to get my nose on Ambre Magique, 40 Knots & Guidance. Time will tell. Great video.

[@thesimplechiclife]

Thank you! I’ve also heard great things about 40 knots!

[@honeyhargreaves4011]

Loubiprince and loubirouge are my fav from that line! So good.

[@maz0242]

very excited for this video🥰 will you do a perfume collection video after you filmed all the hauls?✨

[@thesimplechiclife]

Eventually; not for a while I don’t think!!:) but definitely later this year 💕

[@lauravterrazas]

My hubby and I bought Loubiprince when we went to Paris last year. It was love at first sniff and we both wear it (separately lol).

[@thesimplechiclife]

So good right???

[@sidselalbertsen898]

That was awesam❤Very inspirering 😄

[@thesimplechiclife]

Thank you so much 💕

I own loubicrown and loubiprince and they are GORGEOUS. I want loubicroc now. 👍

Yay Canada 🇨🇦 Just got my babycat tonight ! Smells amazing - can’t wait to try it on skin !

Woohoo!!!! 🙌🏻 finally Canada has something you can’t find anywhere else!!!

[@paulag1316]

Ordering samples today!!!!!

[@preranajoshi2661]

i blind bought got boucheron quatre absolu nuit recently, its an affordable luxury perfume that smells warm and nutty.

[@tiffaniemcmillan209]

Ambre Magique is so beautiful

[@almatoledo1608]

The Myzensir will be my next sample!!! I understand how a parfum can be so moving ;)

[@almatoledo1608]

The other 2 in consideration are: La Perla Possibilities and Ouverture de Xerjoff. I can wait.. I think. Oh! Need to decide on Nefs, Au Coeur du 🏜 or Ivory Route. Very lovely and helpful video.

[@Mark_R_Tho]

LOVE Fire at Will!!!!!! I’m addicted to the brand! I wear Psychédélique a lot, as well and always get compliments! Also love Remember Me♥️ I got the discovery kit from Lucky Scent after blind buying the above three, and there are SO many amazing ones to choose from🙂

[@adebeautybox]

Fire At Will ❤

[@Jenn-777]

Babycat was masculine for me. It was very strong on the pepper for me. I’ve heard Gabby say the same. Although I’m wondering if different batches are different considering you don’t like masculine leaning fragrances. I love unisex just not leaning masculine. I definitely thought this leaned masculine although it was great scent.

[@thesimplechiclife]

I think it leans very feminine once dried down, it's vanilla dominant. The incense gets much softer - When I first sprayed it I wasn't sure. It wasnt until I wore it on the skin and really let it dry down that I got its true beauty. I haven't seen Gabby's take on it but I wonder if she did that or not. For me it's unisex but has major feminine vanilla vibes. 💗

[@arianaperfumes]

For like 2 weeeks it was very peppery dominant and only in the drydown I woul feel a faint vanilla. I left it on the shelf and came back to it and it defigot better, the vanilla is more proeminent and I think with time it will only get more intense

[@BAW47]

Babycat is one I'm going to have to circle back to. At first, I did not like it (I love masculine leaning scents, but, it was too much) after about an hour or two it smelled beautiful. I'm going to try it again and see what I think

[@sibyl999]

@@arianaperfumes I bet she would like it because she loves Loubirouge- LF is very similar but stronger in the cardamom..

[@OksanaSyzovaV]

I love your nails, so perfect ❤

[@thesimplechiclife]

Thank you!! 💗

[@BasicIW]

Love Xerjoff Ivory Route 😍 first perfume I reviewed on my channel!

[@dianejones2775]

I always get compliments when I wear Ivory Route.

[@shannondavidson1886]

Best reviewer on you tube!

[@thesimplechiclife]

Awe thank you ☺️

[@snigdhachk91]

You make me want to blind buy Ambre Magique! I’m so keen to buy Amouage Guidance as well. Waiting for it to be available in NZ in some form! 🙈

[@mslatoya987]

I bought a sample from twisted Lilly for 5$ ! It’s very good I’m buying a bottle!

[@Finerthings1922]

Ivory Route is definitely polarizing. I was taking aback by the basil note. I guess my nose isn't refined enough to appreciate it. I really wanted to love it because Demi raved about it

[@laurenskubish400]

Its taken back there is no A in back. I dont know when people started adding an A in taken back. Its not taken aback.

[@gen_o]

Always trust your nose, not another influencer’s. Our tastes are individual and unique, and perfume appreciation is subjective.

[@lindamayer4697]

I do understand feeling intoxicated by a perfume and needing a nap after having olfactory senses overstimulated! Worth it, though. 😁

[@shirin0416]

I tested fire at will a few days ago and fell in love as well. Although it only cost 150€ in Germany I still think it’s too expensive because it’s really linear. Think I will get the 50ml for 90€

[@pattieschulte700]

I love A mber!!!

[@brandierin8471]

I would love to someday own a few from Parfums Dusita ❤️

[@Funnythings_internet]

Omggg Amouage guidence😩😩😩 girl this fragrance it my top 2!!!! I don’t understand why this is not blowing up like crazy. I tried this 2 weeks ago at Neimans and this fragrance lasted on my winter coat over 5 days 😩😩 and it was just 2 spray! This is super strong and super long lasting I ordered two at online aswell they didn’t have them at the store at the time🙃🙃

[@thesimplechiclife]

Ii think part of it is that it's brand new and I know until recently it wasn't available at many stores. I think it's finally starting to gain some popularily.

[@sibyl999]

It is!

[@pattieschulte700]

I just Love it!

[@NorthernScentsAlaska]

My absolute favorite Vanilla is Escapade Gourmande by Maison Mataha, I do love Fire at Will, but I love Escapade Gourmande more! I discovered it before it got popular and now I can't find a backup bottle anywhere, so im hoarding my current bottle

[@thesimplechiclife]

I’ve heard great things about it!!!! I will need to find a sample!

[@sibyl999]

It's too much like maple syrup to me- but I have a decant and will give it another chance!

[@tarynkennedy_]

Some perfumes that I'm most listing after is Givenchy L'inderit rouge and the original. I have a few perfumes coming from fragrancebuy that I'm super excited to try Jimmy Choo Illicit, Ariana Grande Cloud and Azzaro Wanted Girl

[@pamjohnson122]

Coincidence- I just listed my L'Interdit rouge bottle on Mercari to sell a couple hours ago.

[@BAW47]

I don't know why I've never tried this...thanks for reminding me I need to put it on my list!!

[@tarynkennedy_]

@@BAW47 no problem! Which perfume are you going to try?!

[@PaulinaPerfumes]

hahaha I literally had the same issue with Fire at will - I thought I was gonna be first but NOT 😂 I'm so jealous Guidance worked for you! For me it was not good 😒 Love you ❤❤

[@thesimplechiclife]

Thank you Paulina 💗 🤗 Hope you’re doing well ❤️

[@thesimplechiclife]

Awe thank you Pattie 💕 I appreciate you being here all this time!!

[@singlehandedbeauty3581]

Xerjoff is an AMAZING brand because there's literally something for everyone. I love Ivory Coast and Naxos, but I'm completely obsessed with Starlight (cardamom and almond) and I recently purchased Casamorati Bouquet Ideal, a very feminine, spicy, vanilla, woody, tabacco flower scent. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these fragrances-you describe them so well!

[@joannathesinger770]

I like Xerjoff's Golden Dallah!

[@carrie-leehurzeler7413]

I’d love to see you start putting the prices for the bottle size that you show us in Canadian and American dollars.

[@thesimplechiclife]

Usually when I say dollars I’m referring to Canadian but I will have to start listing retail price as well 💕

[@Jassxbe1]

I love Amouage perfumes the more you will be introduced to woody Oud perfumes you will enjoy more oriental perfumes..

[@pattieschulte700]

Love Zerjoff.

[@Macma7]

Oh, I love Babycat and Ivory Route 💜 do you smell the rose in Ambre Magique? I hope it's not prominent 🤞 and I'd love to try Loubiprince and Guidance in the near future 😊

[@thesimplechiclife]

The rose doesn’t jump out at me. Perhaps it’s there. But I get ambergris, a deep boozy vanilla, cardamom and a sweet brightness mostly (prob the orange blossom/orange, although that is a smaller player and dissipates).

[@lienpham5418]

I wish I could get babycat!! So sad that ysl Canada wont ship to the United States:(. This is when I wish I had friends in Canada 😭😭😭.

[@teethinghag]

Could you make a video on perfumes like nest midnight fleur? It's sadly been discontinued and I can't find something quite like it. Deep exotic sweet and addictive 😍

[@thesimplechiclife]

I wish I knew what that smelled like!

[@sweetpeace5]

It’s for sale on Ebay still❤

[@AliaAriff]

Lovely to see you talking at extend about fragrances again Ilythia 💜 have you tried anything from Maison Crivelli?

[@thesimplechiclife]

No I have not, I’d like to! I have lots of fragrances coming; samples, decants and some full bottles and I’m super excited.

[@nickibosch2593]

Have you tried Deep n Desire Yacht? I had that “I could cry” reaction to it instantly. It’s a masterpiece. I also fell in love with Guidance after testing it. On my list for next purchase!

[@thesimplechiclife]

I haven’t tried Deep n Desire Yacht! You’ve got me curious. I’m glad you also love Guidance!! 💕

[@norat9810]

Which one do you think lasts more , Mazzolari’s Vaniglia or Fire at Will ?

[@PerfFume]

Absolutely vaniglia

[@thesimplechiclife]

Vaniglia. That thing is a beast. And a sweet one. But it’s much sweeter than fire at will. Fire at will = warmer cozier amber brown sugar. Vaniglia = vanilla orchid, caramelly, sweeter, brighter. If that makes sense. Both are amazing

HI! Your new year collection and hauls are so wonderful! How do you feel about the tobacco in Naxos vs Sunshine? I really am tempted to blind buy either but the tobacco note is stopping me. I don't know if I will be able to tolerate it, thanks in advance!

Naxos is more of a honey tobacco, leans more masculine in my opinion but still gorgeous. Sunshine is more of a creamy fruity tobacco. 💕
