My Brutally Honest Thoughts On ALL The New Gourmand Perfumes!

[@raggakr]

I don’t care how old i will get i will always be a gourmand girlie. I don’t care if it’s BBW or if it’s 20 or 200 dollars. I love “ juvenile” scents no matter where they come from and i agree i hate when people describe them as juvenile. It sounds very judgy to me. I wanna small like a snack and i don’t think there is anything wrong with that❤

[@moonridgeretreat]

Love gourmand scents! ❤. And, completely agree with you that just bc a scent is gourmand, it shouldn’t be automatically labeled juvenile. 😊

[@kmb1223]

I’m totally here for the new Kay Ali perfume!! I’ve gotten sooo many compliments on it that it’s been insane!!! LOVE the gourmand scents!!! Bring ‘em on! ❤

[@simplynorthernbelle]

I'm here for sassy leah! Yes ma'am! I'm a gourmand girlie again and I 100% agree

[@lisarobbinson8835]

I'm a 54yo vanilla girl 🤍 Thank you Leah ✨💖 Always appreciate your input 😊

[@roxanamarroquin640]

Ugh, 🙄 us gourmand girlies aren't slandering all yall, so leave us alone. That's what makes the perfume community unique. We ALL have different likings when it comes to scents, and that's okay... 💯 so what if we like to smell juvenile 😂😂 I love bath&body works and any scent that smells good whether it's from Dollar Tree idgaf if I like it I'm going to buy 😅🤷‍♀️❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌🙌

[@ShopandMorewithKimberlyNSantos]

Yas girl yas say it louder!!👏🏻🩷

[@itsannatorres1]

Exactly! I am also a gourmand girlie, I hate smelling super strong, hate flowery smells, oud... And love smelling like a dessert so that's what I do haha x

[@Shimmerluxe]

I love my gourmands and will happily wear them no matter if someone else think it smells cheap or whatever. It puts a smile on my face and that's all that matters to me. HAHA

[@AirBeat-lk3pl]

I also enjoyed the yum marshmallow! I’m okay with smelling “juvenile” in a casual context: running errands, chilling at home, brunch with friends, cozy cuddle date etc. And I agree it does last and project well

[@annemariecronen9096]

Nonna is Italian for Grandmother. My dad is first generation Italian-American. He always talked about his Grandmother(who died before I was born) as his Nonna

[@CiucisTeris]

I love watching your perfume reviews, because I smell perfumes very similarly like you. TK Pear Gelato and Pistachio Latte are my absolute favorites! I wish I didn’t blind buy Bubblegum Factory - it smells like those powder covered hard candies at tj maxx checkout line, like raspberry ones, but at the same time this is a scent I can’t describe well…

[@BennettVsMom]

Love all your videos, Leah. I am so opposite in scent profile and you still convince me to smell everything lol. I love how you are never rude when saying you don’t like a product. You look gorgeous as always

[@brittanyrae_beauty]

Love me some sassy Leah 😂💗💗 preach queen💖💖 I love the new Kayali one 🍓

[@gladyscatalinariveramariet5903]

I received Nearly Noon. The first time I sprayed it, I found it to be disastrous. However, now I absolutely love it-it's true love! Please don’t judge this scent based on an initial sniff if it doesn’t appeal to you. It would be best if you gave it another full try. I changed my mind within hours and received compliments nonstop from my family and two strangers. I cannot stop smelling my arm and my dress.

[@JLaw1217]

Your reviews are helpful. Don’t apologize. I appreciate your descriptions and comparisons.

[@paleprincess93]

You look beautiful, Leah! ❤ Your eyeshadow looks and makeup in general are always so intricate and well blended! 💄I'm a huge gourmand lover, so I'm definitely going to want to try a few of these based on what you said! 😊

[@laurenjay3084]

I am here for sassy Leah 😂 I love the B&BW pear crème brûlée so I’ll have to give that one you mentioned a try!

[@JoCervelle]

I’m finally starting to explore gourmand scents. I ordered a bunch of decants a few days ago based on your recommendations. I can’t wait to try them! 😊

[@joyceopdenbuijsch]

Nice to hear ,about the dutch roots from your family. We have the same taste for gourmand perfumes. Greeting from the Netherlands

[@casey12707]

YOU TELL EM SASSY LEAH!! 🙌❤

[@sophiamlarson]

I’m surprised you think that pear is a unique note and hard to come by because I see it all the time in all different kinds of perfumes and scent profiles haha I thought ppl were getting tired of it. But I really love pear in perfume and that pear gelato sounds like something I’d love 🍐💕 thanks for the recommendations❤️

[@LeahJanae]

To me it's not usually a prominent note in most fragrances it might be listed as a note but I rarely find a mostly pear perfume.

[@DonnaSnead]

I mix my bnb works with the more expensive perfumes...🎉❤🎉❤

[@pinksparkle258]

The eye look!! Gorgeous & glam ✨️ 💎✨️💎✨️💎✨️

[@cherylturgeon6237]

Have you ever tried “ The Sugar Milk Co “ for scents? Omg the banana milk smells so good! Very affordable. Amazon has a cotton candy and the banana milk 👍🏻Their website has a bunch of scents. I even got a compliment from the nurses at my doctor’s office on how light and nice it smelled.

[@AirBeat-lk3pl]

I didn’t know about the new Theodore’s kalotinis!! So excited!!

[@Ilovecoco123]

I was excited to watch this video and I kept having to rewind because I kept zoning out focusing on your beautiful makeup

[@Sara-ub1mz]

Wow! What a video! Thank you for reviewing all of these for us! I am LOVING this Gourmand Era ..I mean, fall/winter is the time for all the edible fragrances and I kinda think 2024 fall/winter has been killing it! ❤

[@pumpkinpastie]

Big gourmand loved, and couldn’t love this video/ your channel more ❤

[@tonyamedeiros2034]

You do such a great job reviewing scents!!!

[@CiucisTeris]

I was telling my friend that Jousset pistachio smells like pistachio extract used in baking - I’m glad I’m not the only one smelling it like that. Both Maison Mataha are on my wishlist to try 👌🏻

[@LeahJanae]

Yes it definitely smells like the extract!

[@roxanamarroquin640]

Love these gourmand videos!

[@itscoral]

Yes would love a pistachio video 😊

[@redlikewineagain697]

Thank you for this! Tiramisu Speculoos sounds like something I would love ♥

[@jessicaspangler2822]

YASSSSS ❤❤❤❤ Thank you! Needed this!

[@Jassxbe1]

I couldn’t go to sleep before watching this video 😊 I just had my shower with strawberry snowflake shower gel then I used the body lotion and of course the new Kayali Yum boujee marshmallow 😍💕👌 I lovvve that combo sooo much.. I couldn’t stop looking at your eyes while watching the eyeshadow is sooo beautiful and you really know how to apply a good eyeshadow 🩷🌸

[@LeahJanae]

thanks so much! your shower combo sounds amazing :)

[@Jassxbe1]

@ you deserve all the best for your honesty and hard dedicated work , please try the combo it’s sooo good 😊

[@WildflowerJedi]

Yo Leah! What's up girl!❤ I just wanted to let you know that I used your promo code on Lucky scent twice and I'm excited to try out the scent of pistachio, marshmallow, the coconut one and Praline eu caramel by Kyse! I bought the samples first to see but I'm so excited to try them out!!

[@Kathyover60lifelessons]

You are one of my favorite KZbinrs! I especially love shopping with you at TJMaxx and Walmart, but these type of reviews are so very helpful and educational. I wish I could describe scent notes as well as you! Happy Holidays! xox Kathy A

[@LeahJanae]

aww thank you Kathy! that means so much!

[@TheCCBeautyGuru]

I love Yum Boujee Marshmallow so much! I do not care what anyone says!! 🫶🏻💞

[@ameliamadrigal403]

I needed this! Question of the hour: Skip it, or add it to my Christmas list?

[@SiriuslyMeg]

Ahh, I love your eyeshadow!

[@LeahJanae]

thank you :)

[@spurtiana]

You’re so right about the gourmand slander queen

[@tmhoneybunny]

Idc what ppl think. I’m 59 and gourmands are my favorite. Who doesn’t want to smell like a snack?

[@b25mech]

Such a great review!

[@cassiejohnson9088]

Just in time for Christmas ❤

[@tonyarst2922]

I LOVE Smokey/Spicy scents. But I do really love a good vanilla as well. ✝️❤️🙏🏻🤗

[@elizabethamaya2741]

Just ordered my 16 yr old’s Christmas present you’ve really helped with your code❤🙏😅

[@LeahJanae]

Thanks for using my code 🥰🥰 hope they love their gifts

[@mrs.t6847]

Finally somebody said it! These perfumers are making bath and body works fragrances while also making your really expensive fragrances. The ish smells amazing either way. Once one person says something, it echos.

[@ali_b_lush2]

I have to say I grabbed the Hershey's chocolate fragrance spray from 5Below several years ago and I love it! I pair it with a mint, cherry or strawberry scent at times. It's great by itself too. I also want to be yummy. 😊

[@mariaisabelgardea6786]

Gourmands are my favorite ❤❤❤

[@rusimp7844]

Hey Leah, how about some gourmand scents with a bit of of fruitiness in it like lemon, strawberry, cherry, orange/lime in it? I love Nest Vanilla Bourbon- I feel nobody talks about it but it’s such a beautiful vanilla with lemon, at least that’s what I’m getting. I love Kayali Capri in a bottle as well. I feel that is what Hufflepuff House of Silage would smell like. I would love to hear more of those perfumes that you in your collection. Thank you!

[@LeahJanae]

I should have videos on those already! 🥰🥰

[@pixidanberty5530]

I'm 61, and love many dupes. I'm definitely not juvenile

[@coley924]

To me the kayali smells just like Skylar boardwalk delight. It’s nice but doesn’t last long at all

[@LeahJanae]

Mine actually lasts pretty long! It's not the strongest though but i can still smell it all day

[@butterflygirlbeauty]

I bought the kayali bougee marshmallow based off your review. I love gourmands also, and while I'm not disappointed with it, it does smell lovely however to me it does smell exactly like strawberry pound cake from BBW. Which I love that one from BBW so I'm not mad at it but I would have liked it to be just a tad different than that one haha It does smell very yummy though. If you love strawberry pound cake, this is the one for you

[@sarahhamilton1722]

So people can hate on bath and body works all they want. I have had many scents expensive and not but my two most complimented both happened to be bath and body works scents

[@nicolejackson4411]

Gourmand girl til I die lol! The last time I wore ‘71 someone asked if anyone else smells fresh baked cookies 😂 Best compliment ever! Boujee Marshmallow- 3 compliments in one day.

[@AirBeat-lk3pl]

I can’t wait to watch your pistachio video :)

[@yer_grrl]

You gotta get your hands on velvet chocolate by Theodoros! Straight up brownie batter!!!

[@yer_grrl]

Also! I don’t know if you’ve tried either of them but as a fellow banana girl, Comptoir sud Pacifique Vanille Banane and Daukens Arome Co This Is Bananas are AMAZING

[@lisasmith7]

Your eyeshadow is beautiful ❌️⭕️

[@emilymurphy2330]

Do we have the same taste in perfume? Not at all. Do I still watch most of your perfume content? Yep!

[@LeahJanae]

Appreciate you 💖💖

[@annaedwards3184]

It's so interesting how different noses smell different things becasue I don't get bianco latte at all from vanilla haze, to me it actually smells like an auntie annies cinnamon sugar pretzel or like a cinnamon donut while bianco latte smells like honey and milk

[@LeahJanae]

Bianco Latte is also the top compared perfume on fragrantica too! It's all I can smell now 😂 I wish I got what you do!

[@thelittlestgiraffe2403]

Please review The Maker’s Dream out at Sephora!!

[@victoriamorgan5359]

Yesss love me a good gourmand 🤤😍 And soo glad you mentioned Naughty Nonna. It’s been my recent obsession 💗💗💗 I can’t stop wearing it! It’s such a perfect Christmas time scent 🎄❤️

[@jessicagraham9356]

Amen sista ❤

[@lisasmith7]

I am here for it ❌️⭕️

[@michelledieboldpanasewicz]

I love gourmand fragrances! I do not think they are juvenile in the least. I would love the Joussett Le Gourmand but it's just too expensive and out of my budget. Do you have a recommendation for a dupe for this one?

[@LeahJanae]

@@michelledieboldpanasewicz I honestly haven't smelled anything like it.

[@GlitterBunnyNL]

I really thought you were going to get Banana Split from Jousset. And I tested Fugazzi. I think it’s way too light for the price. I’d prefer Bianco Latte by Giardini Di Toscana.

[@LeahJanae]

I would if they had smaller sizes in stock for the jousset! but they have been sold out :(

[@GlitterBunnyNL]

@@LeahJanaeI want them too but I noticed it’s stated to be back mid December!!! Keep your eyes peeled ❤❤❤ and I have one video suggestion for you. You should do banana fragrances. This is so you and nobody does it yet. I hope you read my reply.

[@colleenmcdermitt2189]

Could you review the marshmallow scented body butter from FENTY? I trust your judgment…

[@LeahJanae]

I did already actually! It was my last body care video

[@pinksparkle258]

I know this an upload about gourmand scents but you may be the right person to ask...I am looking for a dupe for my discontinued 😢Michael Kors Glam Jasmine. Any ideas? Thank you!! 😊

[@LeahJanae]

i am not familiar with that one but usually the fragrantica website suggests similar scents

[@sabrinayoung3822]

I wish Snif made larger bottles of their scents!

[@ashleyfarnsworth0630]

I was so excited for the knead perfume but when mine came in the mail it smelled like beer. It didn't remind me at all of the pretzels 😢

[@LeahJanae]

Oh weird I don't get beer at all!

[@alexandriavr6665]

Happy Sinterklaas!

[@snoopycoupon]

How's the longevity on the Paris Corner fragrances?

[@LeahJanae]

i think they last pretty long personally! like 6 hours on most! some even longer

[@maddiek963]

I always get so confused when people try to say Snif is an inexpensive house. It “costs less” because you get less. They only sell 30ml bottles. The unit price is more expensive than Kayali…

[@LeahJanae]

Hmm actually no considering Kayali 0.3 oz bottles are $29 so a 1oz would be around $80 with that math 😅 even YSL 1oz bottles are $90

[@mindydelong7062]

Hi Leah and community. I love the VS vanilla lace. Can any of you recommend a perfume that is similar? Love the content thanks

[@LeahJanae]

Insult Tihota is very similar

[@mindydelong7062]

Thanks!

[@freemahimahi]

Where did you get the small size spray to transfer your sample?!

[@LeahJanae]

@@freemahimahi Amazon sells a bunch

[@KimCatVlogs]

moscino bubble gum is sooo good but you can smell like a rose hint

[@kristensockittoem6590]

Random question, do you model clothes for Pulse Boutique??? I was on their website the other day and you look just like one of the clothing models

[@LeahJanae]

@@kristensockittoem6590 haha yes that is me! 🥰

[@kristensockittoem6590]

@LeahJanae that's so cool!!! 💜💜💜💜

[@celesteroberts7743]

Those Paris Corner bottles are so ugly Oh my! 😟 And how do you tell them apart?

[@LeahJanae]

They have the names on the bottles 🥰 their packaging is definitely out there on a lot of there scents but the fragrances inside are so good!

[@nailahsaquee6719]

[@angelarobinson8299]

Tells us all about it! Lol I agree with you it's not juvenile at all. And who cares what something cost I love my bbw and I love my louis vuitton perfumes.....depends on my mood, time of year, vibe lol. 😂 as Heather would say more is more!! 😂😂 I am so thankful for you reviews 🥲 saves me money we love Alot of the same things!!!
