So agree with your stance on blind buying. I don’t mind including a blind buy cheapie to get free shipping or something like that but I’m cutting the cord on blind buying anything over $50. Since we generally like the same scents I if I’m considering something, I’ll usually try to find a video where you have reviewed what I’m considering!! I won the recent give away and I’m totally in love with it. Many thanks. For people who don’t remember, the fragrance is Carner Barcelona Drakon. Perfect for me!!

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Lynda!!! This makes me so happy! I’m thrilled you love the recent giveaway for Drakon! Even better thank you for sharing your feedback with all of us!!!🙏🏻💕💕🙌🙌🙌🙌

Hi Chris, I paid for Minnie, although it’s beautiful it doesn’t last. The Dapper version of Minnie is spot on.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Oh thanks for that! I’m sure that will help out a lot of ppl who love that profile! And looking forward to your HOS review!!

[@jaxbeautifulyou]

My brain interprets Narco Oasis as a summer scent, but now I’m thinking you’re right…. It will be amazing in cold weather too! I have been loving it and the vanilla gets deeper and stronger as it settles. Lol we are scent twins. I agree with pretty much all of these. ❤

[@ThePerfumeNest]

You are right! It screams Summer but that vanillic brown sugar dry down is exactly what I needed the others weren’t providing for me. Just enough it will be great in the Fall, esp. paired with a nice vanilla body cream. 💕

Was very excited to see the title of this video! I totally agree with just about everything you said! I was hoping both Gritti would be just what you were hoping for and both were nothing like what I was expecting. Caramelo Vanilla too much like every other vanilla. Minnie Mouse smelled like a cheap body spray on me with none of the notes really coming through. Burberry bored me to tears, especially since I was so excited for a three vanilla easy to get your hands on fragrance…it was a boring lavender on me. I haven’t tried Narco Oasis because I figured it would disappoint but I will try it because creamy fruity vanilla is what I was wanting it to be. Whew! That was a lot to say lol😘

Great video. Minnie bottle is gorgeous but the price tag is just too much. Actually all HOS is beyond my budget even on sale lmao. It’s nice to hear someone say it’s a pass though because it is really hyped by most reviewers. The Wonder Woman 84 one has intrigued me but it’s so expensive.

Yay! And thank you boo!!💕💕

[@TheEagleslover]

Hey Chris. Hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend. Like you I’ve completely stopped blind buying and purchasing things that are just too similar to something I already own. That is unless it just wows me. I’m really enjoying testing and wearing all of these samples and decants I already own so I’m passing on a lot of new releases at the moment. I’m just testing for now. Hopefully I will find some things I’d like to give for gifts at Christmas. Be well.

[@seansimmons73]

I recently received a free sample with a purchase from a house I've never heard of before. Siesta by Ramon Monegal. It's a vanilla woody scent with honey & Iris that blew my socks off. Can't wait for a full bottle

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Oh my gosh yes that sample is supposed to be on its way! 😃

[@AileenTownsend]

Hi Chris! Thanks for the headsup on Hufflepuff! I pulled the trigger even though I was very hesitant even with the 30% off right now. It's very spendy but delicious and just a piece of art on my vanity. I totally feel you on the Gritti perfumes! I sampled tutu, tutu blanc, gossip night and chantilly. None worked for me! Something in the notes were synthetic and not for me. I am loving Burberry Goddess! It projects on me and lasts. I'm surprised you had a different experience. I love that it's not a gourmand vanilla... something classy and cozy. I would love to hear your thoughts on Akro Rise & Liis Ethereal Wave. I'm hoping to sample those soon!

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Yes! Same with Gritti! That weird synthetic something I couldn’t put my finger on…

[@ThePerfumeNest]

And I was scared my nose was broke until several ppl here and on IG said they had the same projection problem with Goddess. 😵🥲It is gorgeous though when I dig my nose in

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Oh yes I love that Hufflepuff!!

[@lindac9387]

I agree with you about Burberry Goddess, I really wanted to love it and I like it but it totally disappears on me too. Knowing how things go, they’ll come out with some flankers like an Intense version. I’ll wait for that. I’m missing Poolside Perfumes with Chris, must be getting to fall weather!

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Oh my gosh you are right! Well I guess the Intense version will be our version! 🤣

[@marie-theresejamora-garcea8278]

Gritti is definitely a hit-or-miss house. Like you, I totally love Duchessa so I thought I'd love Tutu, Tutu Blanc and Gossip Night, but none of them really worked for me. Gossip Night is a nice release but in terms of peach perfumes I prefer Bonbon Pop from House of Oud... definitely a yummier-smelling gourmand! Fragrances are so expensive nowadays I definitely never blind buy! Thank God for ScentSplit and Etsy! ;)

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Yes! Agree! So glad Scent Split, etc are available!

[@kwagesj]

I see a LOT of KZbinrs not loving the Gritti house! It shocks me so much because I just love them! I find them to be so interesting because while they are very gourmand, they are classy and floral! I have Ducchesa, Tutu, Chantilly, and Tutu Blanc. Maybe try Tutu Blanc next? I have seen many that don’t adore the house loving that one! I had the same reaction to Burberry Goddess. It’s a lovely vanilla but quite basic compared to my other vanillas! Great video! ❤

[@agnesmeszaros-matwiejuk8783]

I don’t like that they don’t offer discovery sets. I wanted to try Mon Ami but nobody has a sample I could try. Blind buying is too expensive. I tried Chantilly and Pomelo sg from Gritti but I was not wowed either

[@ThePerfumeNest]

As you know….I completely agree with you regarding blind buying!!🙌😉

Omg we’re practically scent twins here! I had a very similar experience with these. I found a lot pleasant but not wowing me (except for Burberry Goddess, I luckily get about a good half day’s wear out of it 😁)

[@ThePerfumeNest]

I’ll give it one more try. It was so beautiful when I could smell it but from comments here and IG it seems around 50% really struggle with projection and longevity. I WISH I was in the other group. What a gem of a perfume. It is allergy season here and my nose could be wonky these past few weeks

Hi Chris I am trying the GRITTI fragrances …so far I am so underwhelmed. I did purchase Burberry Goddess. I like it more so for bed . My guy enjoys . Just another vanilla lol Minnie Mouse I did purchase when it just was on sale because I am a Disney fan ! 😂 I have smelled it before not ground breaking but she had to join Mickey. Only fair ! I have to try Narco Oasis ! Great video as always ❤

Thanks for the reminder to not blinnd buy, as you said there is always another perfume to come along, no need for fomo. Sound like you will be able to pass on quite a few which is a good feeling. I just got samples of Honey Tabacco and Heaven Can Wait and I am relieved to say I can pass on buying them. yay!!! You mentioned that you wouldnt mind doing some perfume reviews based on suggestions :) I have a few samples of Widian and I am trying to kinda wrap my arms around this house and would love a review on your thoughts.

Not quite what you asked us to comment on, but for the upcoming autumn months, I'm trying to decide what I would like to get next.

Oh it is beautiful!! I agree!!! I just wished I could smell it! From what I’m getting in FB here and on IG is it’s split 50-50 on performance. 50% of us cannot smell it. I wish I was in the 50% who could smell it and poor thing would get lost in all of my vanillas. Someone here even left a comment they got zero vanilla and all lavender so as per usual…our experiences can vary vastly.

I have Bianco Latte and am head over heels for it! It is phenomenal. And then I just tested Escapade Gourmande and was surprised by how close it is - it is really good but I wouldn't buy it because it is so close to Bianco, and I prefer Bianco (great projection/sillage & longevity)... so I appreciate hearing when there are other perfumes VERY close to something I own.

Hypnotizing Fire on me gets compliments from strangers…that doesn’t happen very often! 🤣

[@patr70]

@@ThePerfumeNest I haven't tried Hypnotixzing fire on actual skin just on a tester strip. Moon Glory is so good on actual skin. I think some fragrances blossom on actual skin versus a tester strip.. but I don't always have the time, energy, or patience to test on skin when trying new fragrances.

[@anitajoels2064]

The new la vie est belle gold bottle can you review this one please

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Ok!!

[@jaxbeautifulyou]

Tutu fell short for me too. I thought for sure I’d love it, but no.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Right? Kind of glad at that price….😉

[@robinwhite4050]

Burberry Goddess reminded me of the new Kayali Wedding-the silk one. The performance for me was disappointing as well. 😩

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Yes it seems 50% of us get zero lasting power. Oh well. 🥲

[@nancyfoley5268]

I love Minnie Mouse ❤

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Yay! That bottle is so stinking cute!

[@marianahernandez8306]

Love the opinion videos! I tested Burberry Goddess and I wasn’t impressed either…

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Thank you my dear! Yea I just wished it had a little more presence…. So quiet on me!

[@Mimi31_]

I’m on my last drop of Minnie and I’m holding out because I refuse to pay the full price. HOS is discounting everything except Minnie, so I’ll just wait.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Same. 😉❤️

[@SharidaM]

House of Sillage I’ve learned to just be patient and wait on the sales lol. Minnie is nice BUT NOT $400 nice lol

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Agree…agree! 😄

[@peninalipkin2974]

I had the worst experience i blind bought Minnie Mouse and gosh its terrible! I will never blind buy a HOS again. It smelled so freakin synthetic the raspberry like a cough medicine the dry down is a really yummy marshmallow but it lasts 40 minutes on my skin wtf i hate it. FDB Lovely was a huge scrubber i couldnt stand the notes I liked Griti Chantilly but its simple not for fall. Burberry Goddess is super hyped i havent smelled it yet but my vanillas i have are much better just like you said. I want to try Oasis but its hard to get a hold of in europe

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Yes don’t blind buy those HOS!!! They have discovery sets! I think I’ve purchased every set they have; and saved a ton in then end not blind buying ones I thought I’d love.

[@dennisedelamo8278]

Listening!

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Hello my dear!🙏🏻💕💕

[@ComeUnboxWithTheresa]

I haven't tried Carmelo Vanilla. Oh no you don't like Chantilly it's a love. I want to try the new tf Cafe Rose and Creed has a new ine out but i will wait lol

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Oh I liked it for sure…but not enough to pay for the FB. I have many in that genre already. Trying not to have too many overlapping…💕💕 I’m getting samples of those new ones also!

[@ComeUnboxWithTheresa]

@@ThePerfumeNest oh ok I understand what your saying. Lately I’ve slow down on buying fragrances especially niche, there’s so many I want but I but don’t need lol, I’m trying to curate my collection to all loves!

Do you feel kayali silk santal lasts? I love Burberry goddess but it absolutely doesn’t last.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Yes I had the same experience with Goddess . So did many other ppl

[@ThePerfumeNest]

I would say Silk Santal has moderate longevity. Not beast mode and certainly not a ghost like Goddess

[@jillbraun9395]

I tried Burberry Goddess….sprayed 12 times on body and clothes. After 5 mins, I couldn’t smell it.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Yes! Same! Glad I’m not alone. 💕

[@StelmaDesigns]

Hi Chris! Aren't you glad you didn't love all of them? I find myself relieved at times when I don't find a new perfume that grabs me. That said, I just bought Zoologist Chameleon after I used up a travel spray. Fall is coming and I think of this as a summer perfume so what is wrong with me? (BTW, I think this video is a teensy out of focus?) oxJulia

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Yes I’m SO glad!!! Money for other things I have my eye on. 😄ooh! I know I have that Chameleon sample in my room. I must try! And yes I’ve got my camera set to a “soft” or “smooth” setting. When it’s too much in focus, ppl complain the shine on my face is too noticeable which I don’t have in real life…it just looks that way with four lights pointing directly at me. It’s one or the other. 🤣🤦‍♀️

[@StelmaDesigns]

@@ThePerfumeNest Oh, I see! For what it's worth I like you in focus! With regard to too many perfumes. I notice a bit of a trend with some of the perfume channels I watch that they are now talking about decluttering and downsizing. hahaha! I will never be able to really "declutter" as I don't think of my collection as clutter. I am getting a bit overwhelmed since I have no dedicated storage thus far and so forth, but it's so hard! They ALL bring me joy even if I don't wear them all in a season. oxJulia

[@ThePerfumeNest]

@@StelmaDesigns I agree with you! But since I’m always buying to find new gems for me and you all something has to go….so I am always doing that revolving door trying to let those leave that I never ever ever wear. It’s still very hard! 😆

[@StelmaDesigns]

@@ThePerfumeNest Well, you guys who make perfume videos are in a whole different ballpark. I totally get where you are coming from. oxJulia

[@pbaldizon]

I keep wanting to love Gritti. But I’m finding it so…lackluster? Not sure I’m getting the hype yet.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Same. Other than two…they don’t really do it for me. No love lost…I’ll save my coins for a love. 🙌💕

[@roni-yah9342]

I did not like HOS Minnie at all. I am so glad I didn't blind buy it. I also purchase from their discovery sets.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Yes! They make it very easy for us to try them out first! 💕

My parents had their honeymoon at Disney 😂 back in the 70's!

[@nele9045]

I've tried Burberry Goddess in store and had a similar experience. I thought I had just tired out my nose...too bad, the notes sounded so promising! I haven't gotten along with any Burberry perfumes recently. Her/Her Elixir turn to sour vomit on me 🤢 very sad!

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Right? It would be great if I could smell it!!! I do adore Burberry Her EDT

[@ThePerfumeNest]

I know right?! I think it could have been great if it lasted longer. I do love Burberry Her EDT

[@robertpatter5509]

If you have not noticed but D&G released Dolce Gabbana Devotion EDP. I saw this in Dillard's . And it smells like a warmer and deeper version of Nishane Ani. And of course it's aimed as a church fragrance. Which certainly it could be that. Definitely unisex. You should definitely check it out.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Yes it’s on my list!!! Thx!!!

[@ScentualP]

I’m just imagining how the Sephora staff was looking at you spraying yourself 10-15 times 😂😂❤

[@ThePerfumeNest]

I tried to do it quickly while no one was watching! 🤣

[@AvA-lu8hd]

I had the same experience with Burberry Goddess, that fragrance has zero protection

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Omg thank you for chiming in, I thought my nose was broken! 🤣

[@kce123.]

I agree about Minnie, I could barely smell the marshmallow people rave about- I think Cassiopeia is closer to what people describe and it projects and lasts MUCH longer. And I thought Mickey was better but was a weak version of Andromeda ( also Tiziana Terenzi) Please do a raspberry video it is a note I can barely smell. The more perfume I smell, the more I see Tiziana Terenzi perfumes are amazing. They last, they project, they are complicated and beautiful and affordable - especially on the gray market.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Oh yes I love Cassiopeia! It’s been in my shopping cart for months then I went to buy it, and it was sold out! 😂. I agree….there are not many raspberry perfumes that are overly raspberry.

[@Nikzcyn]

I have Cassiopea, but I don’t find it similar to Minnie at all.

[@marcialythcott5532]

I sprayed myself with Burberry Goddess, went to lunch, and poof, the scent had disappeared in two hours. Beautiful scent but not worth its pricey price tag.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Yep! Agree!!!! 💕

[@onechilidogplease]

"tutu up"😂

[@ThePerfumeNest]

🤣🤣🤣

[@barbaras.3770]

Lovers is a little boring and in the end smells very synthetic to me, there are much better alternatives especially with regard to this high price.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Agree.

[@tigeygirl]

I’m with you on Gritti. I just don’t think they are that great for the price point. I tested lots of them in Venice last fall and to me most of them are designer scents with niche prices..Z I stopped buying HOS years ago. You’re paying for the bottles and I have never loved any of them. I better stop I’m getting too brutal and I don’t want your viewers coming after me!

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Lol! Oh they won’t. Very chill on here. I’ll be the first to admit part of the appeal of HOS is the bottle….but I won’t buy them if I don’t enjoy the scent . 😉💕💕❤️❤️❤️

[@lularoelauriehicks7177]

"smelled like pee pee on me!" 😂 I just love you!

[@ThePerfumeNest]

It was a little startling. But the dry down (deep) was really nice. 🤣🤣Those go in the “no” category…

[@Perfumelunchbreak]

The caramelo vanilla lasts for 3 seconds it has terrible performance

Yep. Same. 🙌That’s why it was a “no”. 😀🤣
