I am so grateful that Sephora has a KZbin channel and a pro team that talks about anything and everything to do with Sephora that’s what makes it so innovative. I recently started working at Sephora but even before I have been religiously watching every single video. I have learned sooooo much and it has helped me do such a better job at helping clients and also myself when I want to get something for myself ☺️☺️🙌🏽❤️

[@jeffreybeautydirector5050]

Saima Nayen yaaaaassss! Glad you are taking this knowledge back in store!!

[@ItsKaraDenise]

Saima Nayen right!🙌🏽

[@riyandita]

I'm 25 years old girl, and my whole entire life i've never had a fragrance/perfume. I dont think they're important (I know pathetic). I'm very sporty girl and for fashion style i'm far from being girly. But one day, i was offered to smell J'adore - L'or from Dior. And it was the first time in my life i fell in love with fragrance. How about that? 😂😂

[@sly11benal7]

You can do what ever makes you feel good. Buuut no perfumes? Never...b/fs don't buy for u?? U can be a pro boxer/mechanic covered in sweat n grease half the day n still wear perfume, n there are probably 8,000+ perfumes for women.

[@slayemgaming]

I almost hate you for the first part though 😅

[@ladimelz2801]

I could sit here and watch Jeffrey pick a scent all day .. He's so sweet💞

[@jeffreybeautydirector5050]

Ladi Melz mwah! 💋

[@labhita1]

I am from Assam of India (Assam is a state in India and it is known for the tea production which is a prominent note in this perfume). Anyway, the fact that something related to my little place made it to Sephora. I cannot really express how happy my heart is 😍 Thank you Sephora Team!

[@jeffreybeautydirector5050]

labhita1 beauty! Yes there are tea notes even in the fragrance, soooo beautiful!

[@rhena97]

I would love to find a signature scent. I know if it's fruity, sweet, not for me.

[@christiemiller353]

You might think I'm crazy but I haven't found one that I like better than Someday byJustin Bieber. Many don't like him but this fragrance is beautiful! Give it a try and it's not expensive.

[@victoriagouveia8465]

Then try some citrusy smells, such as Diesel Fuel for Life and some unissex-male fragrances, personally i heard a lot about Homme Sport by Dior

[@melanietran6352]

I always thought perfume was made for old women until I encountered Chanel Chance Eau Tendre when I was a broke college student. I could never forget about the scent and now as an adult, I own a bottle and am excited to expand my scent collection.

[@eno1524]

I’m not much of a makeup girl and have always felt intimidated going to Sephora because I thought that was all they offered. I just recently got into fragrance and had no idea that Sephora sold so many perfumes/colognes. I can finally shop there and find something for me.

[@wendyraye]

That is the coolest idea for scent categories I’ve ever seen. I’ve always been drawn to “studying” fragrances - how they dry down, top notes, etc. I’m a chemist but my DREAM job would be to help develop fragrances. How cool would that be? What/how did you study to learn everything you’re expert at? Thanks!!!:)

[@lifetimesofericaclark606]

I love this video! Gosh, Jeffrey. You are just a breath of fresh air. Also kudos to Sephora for doing a fragrance video. Not many of these types of videos on YT. Btw, loooove Jackie! I’d love to see more of these videos with her!

[@jeffreybeautydirector5050]

life & times of erica clark thank you so much! There really ARENT a ton of fragrance videos out there.

[@The_daughter_of_Lilith]

Jazz Club is a masterpiece. I cannot get enough of it. My absolute love is “by the fireplace”, also by Maison Margiela...such a gorgeous scent. Highly recommend it to everybody.

[@itsafab]

Olga Montenegro Margiela fragrances are some of my favorites too! I love wearing Beach Walk during the summer months.

[@The_daughter_of_Lilith]

Andrew R. They are top quality. Beach Walk is a fantastic fragrance as well. Nice choice!

[@alalbavincerovincero]

Olga Montenegro i thought they were for men. Am i wrong?

[@The_daughter_of_Lilith]

Al alba vincero vincero Hi! They are unisex although some will definitely be “muskier” than others. I personally love them and feel extremely feminine when I wear the perfumes. People always compliment the scent! Don’t be afraid to ask for samples and try them out.

[@BrownSugaHoney3]

Olga! By the Fireplace is my favorite as well! I even like to mix it with Jazz Club

[@Sahar-style]

Go Sephora team! I love it! Love how sephora is always on step ahead on the game. And I'm only sad that I don't have one near by me

[@alexglasser731]

This has totally inspired me to head to a Sephora and check this out!

[@sunnyday_lemonbars]

I love love love Maison Margiela Dancing in the Moon. So much so, that I'm wearing it on my wedding day!

[@vibhab191]

Good Girl by Carolina Herrera is the best thing ever happened to me 💖

[@sistersmahzi6989]

would you recommend it for a 16y old girl?

[@reece2087]

Sisters Mahzi you should try good girl legere it’s a lighter version but still lasts all day good girl is a very sexy scent the legere version is more of a daytime scent :)

[@theapexpredator157]

I'm definitely interested in trying out different scents/smells/fragrances to see which I like and which will help me perform better at the gym.

[@deniseplasse5126]

I think this is a great tool to have. I love all things fragrance ❤ but I am sorta new to wearing it (again). I have tried for over 40 years to find just the right one for me, and most seemed to turn on my skin. I recently got a sample pack from Sephora and have found it to be very helpful in finding some that really work for me. Thanks for bringing scents back in my life.

[@TamieLe]

I love Jazz Club from Replica too!

[@TamieLe]

Moss by Commodity is also another favorite of mine

[@moniquemc4553]

Oh I love this! I know scents I already like. So, I love the idea of having help searching for similar but new (to me) scents..

[@32517]

Helloooo Sephora team, great video again! I love laura mercier's ambre vanille which I later learned was a gourmande scent. Can we have jackie and/or jeffrey back to explain more about gourmande scents? Loveeee you thankk youu! Xoxo

[@jeffreybeautydirector5050]

hello32517 that would be kinda fun! I’ll pass the idea along

[@85G77]

I think I will try the quiz online and go in store when I get a chance! I like the discovery approach to fragrance :)

[@jeffreybeautydirector5050]

D Go OMG the quiz is so fun!!!

[@cassandraacevedo9243]

I totally bought Nest fragrances for the bottles lol. I loooove the scents but the bottles look so pretty sittin on my dresser

[@dilaral9788]

Great video! Juliette has a gun, not a perfume is my all time favorite. I received a sample in one of my Sephora orders and immediately fell in love with it and purchased a full size. But unfortunately the full size doesn’t smell the same on my skin. I know it sounds odd but even the longevity isn’t the same. I ended up returning it. I have been on the look for a new scent ever since but I don’t ever come close to loving another scent as much as I loved not a perfume. I will for sure use this new tool to try and discover a new favorite. Thanks so much for these great tips.

[@hafsahjilani5202]

Goodmorning Jeffery!!!! I love this video! I didn’t know about these scent jars!

[@maavify]

I love this! I really haven’t found my favorite perfume so this will be really really helpful, thank you! I just wish there was a clear list or filter on your site of the cruelty-free fragrance brands you carry to make it a little easier for me 😬

[@ashleytune1598]

jazz club is my ABSOLUTE favorite. like of all time.

[@ashleytune1598]

I first bought it after a breakup because I needed a new signature scent that wouldn't remind me of my ex, and it made me feel like a whole new woman.

[@ashleytune1598]

so so thankful to the sephora associate who recommended it to me when she asked what my fragrance preferences were

[@jeffreybeautydirector5050]

Yaaaaassss great story!!

[@rockievanescent6025]

Ashley Tune I bought a travel bottle and I already want a big bottle. And I want to try their other perfumes from Replica

[@tauricleo]

When Sephora first picked up Replica, we were told Calvin wore Jazz Club. Great choice.

[@P3Nails]

I actually was planning to buy a new scent for my bday this week and now I’m so excited to go try the fragrance consultation and find my new scent! Tysm for this video!!! 😊

[@rachelcomeau6176]

Great video! My newest fav is Atelier Clementine California, it’s so fresh and happy. I just love it!

[@kendratidwell84]

Perfect! I lve been wanting to find a good scent for myself. Btw Jeffrey you are to adorable and very comfortable to watch. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@treasureinjarsofclay2cor472]

I was wanting to buy one for my son, so I am happy you did this for Jeffrey! Now I have some ideas.

[@kishaanderson2947]

Thank you Jeffrey and Jackie! I have not used the new fragrance tool in store yet. I have used the app quiz. I have purchased the fragrance scent sets and rollerballs sample sets to test a signature scent before purchase. It's a good deal in my opinion. I also am a Sephora Play! subscriber and really enjoy the bonus fragrances. The Sephora teams in store are awesome about fragrance samples too. Please continue to spotlight fragrances, especially new launches.💖

[@Artemis583]

Brand Educator sounds like my kind of thing, product nerd tendencies 🤗🤗

[@dragana1074]

Great video ! samples are the best. I saved so much money this way lol. Roller balls are great too, you don't have to commit to the full price

[@vickistrong603]

SUCH a great video, and sooo helpful! I wish Jackie could help me find my new signature fragrance. She's lovely!!

[@minervabahena6455]

I Love fruity Scents and sweet ❤️❤️

[@DrinkYourNailPolish]

Minerva Bahena Same here 👍

[@bettybrock3787]

This video appeared at the perfect time. Can't wait to stop by Sephora for a fragrance consultation.

[@bettybrock3787]

I finally made it to my Sephora store and found three that I love. I purchased the Primrose Pillowtalk Poet and brought home samples of Velvet Orchid and Coco. Bill at the Green Hills store was very helpful.

[@neilasoum3471]

@@bettybrock3787 ooooo sweet thanks for the update!!

[@jatvirginmega]

YES YES YES! JEFREY! I've been hoping this would come out! So excited to run into Sephora after work tonight (orrrr at lunch) to get a fragrance consultation. Thanks, Jackie!

[@jeffreybeautydirector5050]

jatvirginmega mwah!

[@jeffreybeautydirector5050]

jatvirginmega have so much fun!!!

[@Parathod]

Allure, angel and flower bomb are my three scents

[@Nerdydiva12]

I'm new to Sephora and a fragrance junkie so it's nice to know you guys have these tools. I'll definitely be using them soon.

[@claudiatorres9936]

I love you Jeffrey! I love you explain everything, I have learned alot.

[@IncantEVAleXD]

I really enjoyed this type of video, keep doing more !

[@carloslanza2046]

this was so helpful! thanks

[@carolynvee]

Excellent choice! Jazz Club is such a gorgeous scent!

[@jeffreybeautydirector5050]

carolynvee my new obsession

[@slayemgaming]

I'm from Assam, India. Never knew there is a fragrance as my home town also heard there is a black tea note in the middle. Maybe be that's how Assam smells in the air because Assam is known for tea basically 😅

[@alisonfaircloth]

LOVE! Hi Jackie and Jeffrey! Great job and nice pick too!

[@jeffreybeautydirector5050]

Alison Faircloth THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! MWAH!

[@misha745]

I want a nice warm vanilla scent.

[@blondesided3498]

I like Tokyomilk Dark Tainted Love for a warm vanilla scent.

[@misha745]

Jenni Lepp Thanks for the reccomend. I will check that out next time I'm in the store.

[@angelicaquezada7662]

Michelle D try " Secret Genius" from pinrose

[@dreambeth]

Flower Bomb is nice and warm. It’s really nice on its own, but you can place the Flower Bomb musk oil under a spritz of it and it really enhances the aroma you are looking to achieve.

[@ZinniasandAsters]

Hypnotic poison!!

[@amritasrivastva]

I love this video.. more of these please... Jackie was great!👍👍

[@michaelanthony6728]

I always found Jazz Club more smoky as opposed to gourmand but we all have different noses

[@vmartin572002]

I’ve recently tried Atelier Cologne Vetiver Fatale which is lovely x

[@pnandhra2008]

Well done Sephora. This is so helpful to find your next fragrance.

[@sandymason1772]

Please do this video with clearly feminine scents!

[@winonawu8260]

Try the "by the fireplace" from Maison Margiela!

[@alyssarushton6890]

I love fresh slightly fruity easy for the nose or maybe fresh with ylang

[@paulineenewman]

Great video. I'm filming my top 5 perfumes for spring today.

[@ItsKaraDenise]

Whenever I get a perfume here they’re always SO helpful!

[@amelietaillon5457]

What cruelty free perfume brands do you guys have besides Commodity?

[@darklausal23]

I'm interested in trying the clean suede 🤔

[@sly11benal7]

Think blue de chanel edT is 1 of most successful selling fragrances of ALL time ...its what started the "blue" fragrance trend that is going out of control. Great scent, nice video.

[@mrs.b.s.7212]

OMG I LOVE these videos!!!!! This is the first video I have EVER seen on this subject and obviously, it is very important. I get so excited watching these videos that I can't wait to get ready for work anymore. LOLOLOL You guys make me SUPER HAPPY! Oh how I love makeup!

[@alejandrapavon7716]

Yes!!! I love fragrance please make more videos!

[@kpmtwo]

So helpful!

[@kime9765]

Going to Sephora today.

[@marianangelicarimando2297]

YAY! Thank you for this! So fun!

[@msliltrinity]

Loved this. So interesting to learn.

[@angelicaquezada7662]

Earthy and woody was the last one

[@cynthialandry8782]

LOVED this... Comment- Could someone please ask Nest to come out with shower gels/creams? Love their fragrances but will not use hand soap on my body. Been watching and waiting

[@jeffreybeautydirector5050]

Cynthia Landry that would be so awesome!

[@cynthialandry8782]

Thank goodness I am not the only one who thinks this is supposed to happen!

[@VKTreasure]

Loved this. Would love a link or info on the Sephora scent collection with the redeemable certificate! I know quite a few people who would love it as a gift!!!!

[@nastyabokhonko691]

What category would you recommend for us to lean towards if you love a sweet scent

[@sylviat9825]

Informative video!

[@MetalMeltdown1995]

I absolutely LOVE Jazz Club, purchased that one over the weekend but disappointed with the performance

[@tiffanyluuna]

I'm loving all the fragrance and scent knowledge from this video. i want to learn more

[@leeanntan9030]

Jackie resembles like Natalia Dyer 😍

[@drspaseebo410]

Makkah by Al Haramain, Bleu de Chanel by Chanel, CH Men by Carolina Herreras, L'Aventure by Al Haramain (many say this is a powerful Aventus Clone candidate, Chanel No.5 perfume by Chanel, Shalimar by Guerlain. You need to test and experiment to find your signature scent ~ may prove expensive !

[@sunmoonstar84]

Sweet Jeffrey..you have a great taste xoxo

[@jeffreybeautydirector5050]

flower bomb thx ☺️😊

[@caterinablasco1761]

So noce idea thank you sephora team

[@noemitullis3358]

I love this video!!

[@jeffreybeautydirector5050]

Noemi Judd we love you!

[@mrs.b.s.7212]

wow this is super informative!! great video! i do not, however, believe that my sephora has those "smelling things". But I can almost guarantee I would pick the floral anyways. Maybe the fresh, though.

[@ramanm8488]

SO Glad this video has come out!! I love fragrance but don’t always know what will suit me. Thank you Sephora Pro!!

[@LifeWithLuz33]

Wish Sephora brought back samplers so you can spend time with the scent before committing

[@ersheri]

This was so seriously helpful. I loved this.

[@Progressivelyyou]

I used to wear Wild by Ralph Lauren. The only perfume that ever suited me. Any advice? I'm down to my wits end.

[@nylag4]

Off topic but his skin is amazing

[@RAeboo92]

I’m going TODAY

[@tamibeaulieu1865]

This was so cool.

[@jackiewalsh9652]

La vie est belle is my signature scent

[@sjonm]

I am here for tha lithip😇

[@TammyD123]

I love Not a Perfume but it doesn’t last on my skin. Any tips for making your scent last longer?

[@mirandabaxter9296]

I love scent...I start with a body spray and then use 2 to 3 purfumes. I like to create my own smell.

[@PrincessCVmomma]

Yes!!

[@farayhaahmed7235]

YAS finally. A video on perfumes

[@drspaseebo410]

There have been KZbin videos about perfumes for YEARS !

[@soumiaaboujouda5551]

Lovely

[@desireestacy4597]

My all time favorite & signature perfume for years was "Escape" by Calvin Klein. To my dismay it was discontinued several years ago. Anyone know where I can get a similar fragrance? It had a floral/citrus mix & smelled so fresh!

[@clvkforessaycollege190]

He sprayed on the test strip and smell it directly is driving me crazy

[@meowpower08]

I can’t stand floral scents so sinner by Kat Von d is a god send

[@moola9755]

WHAT WAS THE LAST CATEGORY

[@marials9245]

There is a perfume from Dior: Escale a Portofino, and I have never found something similar (it is citric and fresh). Anyone can recommend something similar but cheaper, if possible?. Thanks!

[@amelietaillon5457]

Maria López Have your tried Bergamot from Commodity? I have smelled Escale à Portofino for a while but I remember it's beautiful. I really enjoy Commodity fragrances: Bergamot (very crisp and citrusy you might like it), Moss (makes me think of Chanel Chance eau fraiche) and Rain are my favorite.

[@amelietaillon5457]

*I haven't smelled

[@marials9245]

Amélie Taillon thanks! I haven’t smelled any of your suggestions but for sure will give them a try. 😘

[@dmc122291]

This was helpful. I would love to see more fragrance videos.

[@daisypeplow1393]

I need a Glossier You dupe so bad

[@nosehair3m]

How much does these cost

[@BRXSON]

smelling the fragrance that soon after applying to paper is the equivalent to spraying alcohol on paper lol
