Love to layer Naxos with Mon Guerlain or Angels Share or Grand soir

[@dizlondynu8478]

Need to try them combinations 🥳👍🏼👌🤩

[@mariad7636]

I love wearing Naxos, its complexity is unbelievable for me. In an hour or so, it gets sweeter, but not too much, so maybe it can be layered with a tonka bean-based perfume? Love this series!

[@AnneLauren]

Yeah I think either a tonka or vanilla perfume would work best for me!

[@hintofscentiment]

Here for the purple flower vibes/loves you’re having lately!! Also Bal d’Afrique introduced me to how beautiful, clean and uplifting vetiver is as a note. I like seeing more traditionally masculine notes like lavender and vetiver making they’re way into unisex and feminine-leaning fragrances.

[@AnneLauren]

yes!! 💜

[@lindascull6327]

Yayyyyyy❤❤❤❤ you always show up when I need some sparkle and joy❤❤❤❤

[@AnneLauren]

🥹❤️🫶🏼

[@0000ren]

I’ve been binging your videos this weekend and I’m soo happy to see your lip combo in the description omg. I can’t tell you how many times I was thinking I need that blush/lipstick

[@AnneLauren]

😄 aw yay! I often get questions about my lip product so I try to remember to always list it now 🥰

[@allisonbotts8532]

Oh the suspense! So fun to watch. The Ex Nihilo was probably a very tough choice. At least they're both a part of your lovely collection🙂Thanks Anne!

[@AnneLauren]

It was the most difficult choice out of the bunch 🙈 I'm very grateful to have them!

[@almatoledo1608]

I agree that Naxos was also an immediate sensation of What is this Beauty!!?? It was an immediate I cannot live without this aroma ever again. 😊

[@isaaclima8918]

Enjoyed the video! You definitely deserve more subscribers! 😁

[@AnneLauren]

Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@jameslongmore3830]

Yes love my naxos. It reminds me of this beautiful wood floor polish my mother used to use on our back verandah which would come up with the most beautiful shine ✨️ I would allways say oh mum that's got the most beautiful smell ❤️ she would smile and say yes son I love it too .thank you for your favourites from each house

[@carinalofanzes5260]

Omg another fav from each house video! The first one was amazing and this one was no different! Thanks for the great list again Anne 😁

[@AnneLauren]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed! :)

[@gracenight5348]

I Love Rouge Malachite, and you influenced me to smell it. I bought it straight up, and being that red is my favorite color❤

[@AnneLauren]

those bottles are beyond stunning!

[@fenixcharlotte]

Bal d afrique trumps Gwater for ‘me too 😭. I’m dying to try Victoria Beckham‘s interpretation of it. I think it’s the blue bottle.

[@AnneLauren]

I'm dying to try that one!

[@kulcsarcintia]

Dama Bianca was my first niche purchase. She is very special to my heart. 🌼

[@AnneLauren]

A stunner! ✨

[@MyFragranceTrail]

I love that you love Vanille Leather. It’s so addictive! ❤❤❤

[@AnneLauren]

yes!!

[@rlim1839]

BDK Vanille Leather is my absolute favourite from the brand now too!! So addictive and wearable. Agree it should have had Violet in the name😅 It will always be in my collection along with Dama Bianca, 😍🙌 xx

[@micheleramirez6769]

Excellent selections! Very interested in Rouge Malachite & Naxos! Hmmm 🤔

[@laurakaapa8031]

Hi Anne, I remeber you talking about Byredo Sellier at some point, but don’t remember seeing you talk about it since. Would be interesting to know your thoughts on it! Loved this video - as all of your videos 🥰🥰

[@dianahorvath4708]

Bal d’afrique and dama bianca are beautiful! I love them. Can you do a coffee or just a chocolate video? :)

[@AnneLauren]

Yes!

[@emiliaescobar7652]

Another luscious perfume video, gotta go perfume sampling soon! TY Anne, I truly enjoy these perfume videos, and I think you should be in a Christmas Hallmark Movie/or any movie by now, just saying! 😊!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@AnneLauren]

aw thank you! ❤️❤️

[@peninalipkin2974]

Rouge Malachite smells lovely i may need to try this again and decide if i want to get it. i wish i could try hufflepuff here in europe. Sadly i didnt enjoy Ani i got no vanilla 🙈 it was also linear on me. XNihilo is a house I dont own. Vanille leather was okay but there was one note that bothered me and it wasnt the leather. Omg girl my favorite Xerjoff is also dama bianca!!! she changes 3 times on me! nothing has 3 different stages on me like dama bianca! ive never smelled a Byredo i also dont like lemons in perfume and i found one Karosene Unknown Pleasures and from the black tea it works its amazing and doesnt smell like cleaning supplies. love this video!

[@AnneLauren]

Unknown Pleasures is my favorite from Kerosene :)

[@deannadigiovanni3185]

Love you and your channel . What are those black things behind i like them lol

[@Gigi-dx3bb]

Vases. 🖤

[@mindi5122]

I’ve layered Naxos with Profumum Roma’s Vanitas and Le Labos’s Bergamot. Xo

[@dizlondynu8478]

BDK Vanille Leather is amazing 👌👌🥰🥰love at first sniff. It was a blind buy for me but what a beautiful fragrance 😍😍🥳🥳. Greetings from UK 🇬🇧

[@AnneLauren]

I'm so glad you love it!!

[@lilagood1963]

Whoa - was expecting Gris Charnel for BDK from ya! I’m intrigued….

[@AnneLauren]

😁😁

[@kellymendez7310]

You are one of the perfumes reviewers that I trust SO hard. It’s funny to still see some differences in our likes which is all good ! Some of my favorites are : Nishane : Hundred silent ways X. Ani unfortunately smells like essential oils to me. BDK: Tabac Rose, so excited to try Vanille Leather. Xerjoff: Bouquet Ideale. Dama Bianca smells like cleaning products to me (my savage hot take). That citrus is off putting to me. I REALLY like Naxos, so so sexy. I need to compare to Moon Glory and Tobacco Honey because I really want a honey perfume. Would love to hear your thoughts if you’ve smelled them. Byredo: Biblioteque. I unfortunately can’t smell Bal dafrique :/ I really want to try Animalique!

[@AnneLauren]

I appreciate it so much! hahaha it's all good, you know I have plenty of hot takes myself 😉 Honey isn't for me, so I haven't been interested in Tobacco Honey, Moon Glory is very unique. Honeyed exotic florals with a woody base. The honey has a little bit of an animalic vibe to it giving it a carnal feel. Different to anything I’ve smelled before, I'll continue to revisit it. Because honey isn't something I gravitate towards, it isn't for me, but it's something I recommend testing for people who do :)

[@almatoledo1608]

I rediscovered Noir pour Femme by TF: the powder puff I smell is so feminine and comforting but sensual to my brain.

[@AnneLauren]

that DNA is so sexy 😍

[@jenniferh6611]

Hi Anne! Love your content! I think we have the same vibe. Would you please include in a video your thoughts about The Harmonist Hypnotizing Fire?

[@AnneLauren]

thank you! Sure!

[@GulsahDudaksizoglu]

Dear Anne Hi! Thank you for this great video!❤ Do you think Naxos and Oajan from PDM is similar? My husband has Oajan and I'm planning to gift him Naxos but if they are so similar because of the cinnamon, so whats the point?😊Thank you🤩🙏

[@fenixcharlotte]

I love powdery too. I can’t remember if you have tried Chanel boy?

[@AnneLauren]

I have! The Chanel DNA just hasn't been for me 🙈

[@grownchiclife]

This video could end at Rouge malachite foe me hahahahahahahah but amazing choices

[@giathomas2908]

Have him, or you too, wear Naxos with MFK Grand Soir. Yum!

[@RenDC93]

There’s a fragrance called "White Forest" by Björk and Berries that supposedly smells like a combo of Bal D’afrique and Gypsy Water. Have you heard of this? I want to try it!

[@AnneLauren]

Yes I've tried it! It's similar to Bal d’Afrique, but BDA is better imo. White Forest is definitely more piney, and there is a balsam feel to this scent, making it smell a little bit like a candle. BDA is more citrusy and has more of an addicting sweetness

[@kuskuse666]

I agree, BDA is a bit more rounder and creamier, but I have White Forest as well and I love it! I use it in the spring and summer, on daily mundane occasions that don't require my most expensive niche perfumes 😄 they're really very similar though

[@drlibra100]

Naxos was an eye opener to xerjoff, I love wearing it in day time on its own but occasionally layering it with lavant to move it in mild citrus direction rather than sweet But I guess you don’t like the citrus note

[@MelBscents]

Oh got to get my nose on hufflepuff and vanille leather ASAP!!!!❤

[@AnneLauren]

I think you'll like them 😘

[@kristinetimofejeva9773]

Vanille Leather is like Love Don’t be shy but with violette instead of Orange blossom. It is totally not what I expected. Blind bought it and wow, so bot for me! 🙈😂 Have You smelled Creme De Cuir? That is my favourite from BDK.

[@AnneLauren]

Girl I hate Love Don’t Be Shy! 🙈 I don’t smell a similarity, but I do think it needs to be sampled first as it is very different from what you’d expect. Yes I have!

[@user-hj9zt1ce4j]

Which other Ex Nihilo do you have? I am obsessed with the brand. Love your videos so much. ❤

[@patr70]

Ex Nihilo "Lust in Paradise" is my favorite from the brand. ""Fluer Narcotique" is nice and is very similar to Parfums de Marly "Valaya" but I prefer Valaya.

[@brunastoppe8034]

Hi Anne :) try layering Naxos with Rouge Smoking from BDK. Adore your videos, kisses from Brasil!

[@AnneLauren]

will do!

[@jackied5866]

I sampled Naxos and loved it! Not sure if I would wear it enough personally to justify a full bottle but I enjoy it. I haven’t tried these combos but I wonder if Naxos would layer well with Mon Guerlain Intense or Boucheron Ambre d’Alexandrie?

[@jackied5866]

Oh also maybe Zara Rich Warm Addictive or Banana Republic Tobacco & Tonka?

[@AnneLauren]

Yeah I’m wanting something with prominent vanilla or tonka to make it a bit more feminine for my taste :)

[@anitabotha3398]

SOTN Black phantom layered with Side effect

[@patr70]

Side Effect is very nice but it sticks to fabric for way too long. After one wear I could smell it on my couch for 6 weeks.. I don't want to smell it for that long.

[@shadowangel613]

I personally haven't tried Naxos but I do wonder whether Bianco Latte would layer nicely with it since they both have honey and vanilla and perhaps the caramel would sweeten up Naxos?

[@almatoledo1608]

Let us try your potential idea 💡 Bianco Latte and Naxos or Escapade G.!

[@almatoledo1608]

I adore Naxos!

[@JT-rx1eo]

Im a dude. And so Xerjoff Naxos and the Byredos are the only ones that resonate with me. But despite me loving Naxos at first, its not full bottle worthy for me any longer. I passed on it for a full bottle of More Than Words. That uber-sweet and strong honey, jasmine and lavender combination just grates way too much on me. Lavender is overall my favorite note, but I don't think it belongs in this uber sweet and honeyed composition. The Achilles of the composition. As for Byredo, Bal d'Afrique and Pulp are my favorites. Gypsy Water is way too weak in every way for me.

[@juliaroe3499]

You have me dying to try Vanille Leather, but I haven’t found it on Twisted Lily, So Avant Garde, or LuckyScent (all the usual places I look for BDK). I wonder why it’s not sold on those platforms. 🤔

[@AnneLauren]

At the moment it’s exclusive to BDK and Harrod’s I believe, but I’m sure it will eventually hit other retailers, similar to how the launch was with Ambre Safrano. I’ve seen decants on Decant X and Etsy :)

[@juliaroe3499]

@@AnneLauren Thanks! I may spring for a travel spray on the official BDK website.

[@neilsant1194]

I feel i have to check your selections on ex l-nihilo & other brcause i might have same personal notes preference with u. I love bal d'afrique & Dama bianca... What are the other 2 u like from byredo?

[@AnneLauren]

Gypsy Water and Vanille Antique :)

[@maisy4675]

Hot takes I swear…I really would have thought Gris Charnel or Rouge Smoking from BDK would have made list.

[@AnneLauren]

Yeah haha Vanille Leather is my new favorite

[@jongjitkongsut9833]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@simoneconde5564]

I got a sample of Ani and while I do think it's beautifully blended, after a while it just smells like Bath and Body Works Vanilla Birch. I've loved that scent for YEARS but at this point I'm kinda done with it 😢

[@AnneLauren]

Oh interesting! I don’t smell a similarity, but we all have different noses of course. Vanilla Birch is one of my favorite scents from B&BW as well 😍

[@danielsparks1848]

bal'd'afrique is beautiful. too bad it only lasts for ten minutes.

[@amber2905]

Hi Anne, is Dama Bianca similar to Giardini di Toscana Celeste?

[@AnneLauren]

although they have shared notes, they're quite different!

[@amber2905]

@AnneLauren which one would you recommend? I can't get a sample of Celeste :(

[@AnneLauren]

@@amber2905 I recommend and love them both! Just depends on what kind of vibe you’re going for. Luckyscent carries samples of Celeste
