New Gourmand Fragrances & Affordable Dupes

[@CocoPebz]

I'd like a cupcake 🧁 but the shipping is more expensive than the fragrance 😩😩😩

[@rebecacollazo]

😩😩😩😭😭😭😭

[@GretaBeth]

International shipping is rough for a perfume company. Have a friend send it privately for much less 😘

[@CocoPebz]

I like Lira ... But I got A Sweet Pastry in Paris by Zara 🤤🤤🤤 So I'm good with the Lemon Cake scent 🍋🍰🤤

[@rebecacollazo]

I wanted Sweet Pastry in Paris 😭 It sold out here quick and then never restocked 🥺

[@ladydeps1]

I got both and fink i prefer the zara one i wish i got a back up. Dont get me wrong i do like lira but the price difference i would of just stuck 2 zara and bout lots of back up bottles

[@CocoPebz]

@@rebecacollazo this is what I dislike about Zara ... They always get rid of the good ones 😭😭😭

[@CocoPebz]

@@ladydeps1 Zara for the win Babyyyyyyy... Let's hope they bring it back 🥺

[@rebecacollazo]

Ugh!! I hate that too! 😭 I searched but ppl were jacking up the price and that defeats the purpose 🙄 but I’ll be ready if they ever re-release it or something similar.

[@Msyinett]

I'm taking a break from buying too many perfumes for my liking. But I am interested in that layering line.

[@GarrettLaFlor]

I just want you to know that even if you're talking about a fragrance I know I'm for sure not gonna get, your voice & personality is so comforting💖✨

[@rebecacollazo]

I always look forward to your sweet comments. I haven’t forgotten about your Selena question 😉 I might add it in a recent vid 💛

[@alwaysevolve4923]

Lira is one of the top five gourmands of all time!!!

[@AmyGlam]

Hi beautiful! Loving this haul 😍❤️ we share the same love towards the jimmy choo I want choo forever 🙌🏼 So happy to see you back! 🙏🏼

[@rebecacollazo]

Hello gorgeous!! 😘 Yes, it’s such a sexy one but it doesn’t last on me 😩 I’ve worn her out and I’ve asked my sister and friends (to make sure it wasn’t me) and no one really picks it up on me 💔

[@lucibellasandverse]

@3:40 that’s so good to know! When I smell Kilian Love Don’t be Shy the orange blossom is so pungent to my nose. I got it because people were saying that it’s so sweet and smelled like a gooey marshmallow, but it was a big orange blossom and neroli bomb to my nose. So maybe Caramel Overdose might be more for me. 🤔

[@rebecacollazo]

Yes and they have sample sets and travels, in case you want to try before you buy. I bought a bunch of samples from them in 2020 since I knew I would be home a lot and could test.

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

I love love love Caramel Overdose

[@Andfe1301]

I’m a 21 y.o. boy and I really fell in love with Prada Paradoxe. I’ve always liked female perfumes, sweet and floral. But until now I never smelled a fragrance like this. Is a complete paradoxe. Floral but fresh, sweet but not too much, and the amber is the winning note of this fragrance in my opinion. And there is something else not revealed by perfumers. I don't agree with people who say it is the same as My Way or Donna Born in Roma, because they have a different sillage and developement on the skin. This keeps neroli essence all day, and only at the end it’s a little sweeter. Maybe it is more similar to L'interdit, but fresher. I bought the 3oz bottle, so excited. To be sure, a fragrance can’t be judged just because of its ground-breaking scent. Cheers from Sicily!

[@rebecacollazo]

Thanks for sharing!! ❤️ Prada has quickly become a favorite of mine. Perfume is so subjective and no one is wrong in what they pick up which is why fragrance is so personal and fun 🤗 Happy Holidays from Sunny Florida🌴

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

Hey Becky 🙋🏾‍♀️, let's see what you got for us

[@rebecacollazo]

Hello gorgeous!

[@roseayalaperfumeaddict5059]

Love gourmands AND dupes!! ❤❤❤

[@rebecacollazo]

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@OpinionatedScents]

Hey beautiful. I just love fall for the gourmands!!!gourmand!!!. I love that new paradoxe.

[@rebecacollazo]

Yes!! 🙌🏼 Such and easy, pretty fragrance 💕

[@TakiraThompson]

Cream Chiffon reminded me of Mont Blanc Signature as well, but less citrus as you said & a more prominent vanilla note

[@rebecacollazo]

She’s cute but when I was testing them side by side I actually preferred Mont Blanc. But you know how I am about my citrus notes🍊🍋 I love them! 💛

[@mariacollettlife]

Fun video!! I wasn't impressed with Paradox at all. I have fallen in love though, with the new idole nectar! I have been drooling over the cupcakes but I am not sure I would be in love with either of the fragrances.

[@TakiraThompson]

I def wanna pick up I Want Choo Forever 😍😍

[@rebecacollazo]

I think you’ll really enjoy her! 🍒 especially for fall.

[@heidith3618]

Yes, need to see this now!! you look so nice 😍 I also have difficulties with neroli..it can work if it's blended nicely in a way that I don't smell it much 🤣

[@rebecacollazo]

Thank you! And yes, exactly!

[@tblub.9270]

I really need Commodity Milk and Tonka in Bold. I want my fragrance to say hello before I do😂😂 I want Sweet Spirit as well.

[@rebecacollazo]

I’m making my way to the Expressive and then Bold 🙃

[@sugarpiegemini340]

I heard about your channel from opinionated scents channel.

[@rebecacollazo]

Welcome! 🥰 I just love my girl Tera Michelle ❤️

[@charletfoster8917]

Thanks for the Be Layered recommendations-caramel is my fave Fall scent🙏🏿😊

[@rebecacollazo]

You’re welcome! 😉

She’s a pretty girl fragrance 💕 Easy breezy and already a compliment getter.

I’m wearing Jimmy Choo Forever for the first time and so far I like it. The cherry is on the brighter side to me which I like

[@rebecacollazo]

I really enjoy it but she doesn’t last on me 😩

[@Naturallyliz41]

@@rebecacollazo okay so it’s not just me. I’m truly disappointed. I might take it back 😞

[@rebecacollazo]

@@Naturallyliz41 Since I got the 30ml she’s got a decent dent in her so I’ll use that one up.

[@divine1745]

The new jimmy choo is my fav. It’s gonna be part of my scents for life! I looove it❤

[@rebecacollazo]

It was my SOTD Today!! ❤️

[@AnneLauren]

Although Burberry Her Elixir smells a little young for what I like to wear, I really really enjoy the smell! Much more than the original for sure!

[@rebecacollazo]

I do have my share of young and fun fragrances 😝 but for some reason I go back and forth with this one. Definitely prefer it over the original tho!

[@dianawamaitha3153]

I have noticed very few people have done a review on Burberry my Burberry black and I feel like it's such a wonderful scent. Could you kindly review the fragrance on your channel thanks

[@ikramhelly6675]

To my nose the Prada smells a lot like mon Guerlain ❤

[@Naturallyliz41]

Hey Rebecca. I’m glad I watched your review on Carmel Kiss. I thought it was just me thinking Belayered Fragrances get better over time.

[@rebecacollazo]

You’re welcome!! 🥰

[@melodyexploring9753]

I tried the Commodity Exploration Kit a little while back. I wore all, but the moss before I stopped filming for youtube. It was going to be my next video. The fragrances are nice, but too similar to one another. I felt like milk, gold and I think velvet were all too similar to one another. The whole line is predominantly woody fragrances, which I really enjoy, but I can't say any of them stood out to me. Several of the scents reminded me of other fragrances that I happened to enjoy more. But I look forward to hearing your review of the line!

[@rebecacollazo]

I feel like some are going to be familiar. Maybe not a straight dupe but enough for me to decide on what I prefer. I enjoy woody scents if they’re not too masculine leaning.

[@lknav6673]

Lira it's delicius... For me feels similar to. "L" EDP from Lolita Lempicka

[@rebecacollazo]

Oh I’ll have to look that one up 👀

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

Yes I agree Belayered Fragrances need to sit for a minute

[@rebecacollazo]

Yesss! I’m gonna do just that!

[@seahorseluv4134]

I tried the I want Choo Forever on my wrist when I was at Dillards last week and I really loved it. I definitely want to try it out again but I’m thinking I will pick that one up. I’m also interested in getting my nose on the new Burberry. The original was a huge no for me because of how synthetic the strawberry note was.

[@rebecacollazo]

I still find the strawberry 🍓 in Elixir to be slightly synthetic but not nearly as synthetic as the original. I’m still on the fence with it.

[@Naturallyliz41]

I liked Burberry Her Elixir but after a I wore it for a while it became a little annoying. I ended up returning it because I felt it was to close to the original which I have a 3.4 fl oz

[@rebecacollazo]

Yea, she’ll be leaving soon 😂 I tried but I just can’t with her!

[@CarmenScentrix]

I also prefer to have something grounding my gourmands vs just smelling like straight up food! I also get medicinal vibes from Lune Feline!! Like some healing ointment! I wonder if it's a Hispanic thing lol. I also struggle with cherry turning medicinal on me!

[@rebecacollazo]

“I wonder if it’s a Hispanic thing” 🤣🤣 Probably cause once you know, you know and that one is super medical to me, lol.

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

Burberry Her Elixir, is a love for me. Prada Paradoxe, another love...not ground breaking, but that bottle is everything. I smelled Jimmy Choo Forever in Ulta and I want it...I really like it

[@rebecacollazo]

I’m gonna keep playing with Elixir 🍓 I’m not ready to give up on her completely. Now Prada! That was a hit for me, from the scent to the bottle ❤️

[@AnneLauren]

Eee I can’t wait for you to try the Commodity fragrances!! ❤ My prediction is that your favorites will be the Milk line and Gold Personal & Expressive 😉 I personally find Milk to be very different to Santal Blanc and This is Her! It should be fun to explore 🥰🥰

[@rebecacollazo]

I want to try them this week!! Sephora VIB is coming 🙌🏼 I’m hoping it’s different so that’s good to know.

[@AbbeyLane721]

I have Commodity Milk, and I wanted to try it because of the marshmallow note, I tend to love anything with marshmallow except that to me it’s not sweet at all kind of peppery and masculine that’s just my opinion but it’s a pass for me. I was just looking at Be layered fragrances earlier today and put Caramel Crumble in my cart and Cloud 9, but idk if I want the Caramel Crumble if it’s not long lasting can you please share your thoughts about it so I know if it’s worth it?

[@rebecacollazo]

I find a lot of the BeLayered fragrances to have pretty moderate to really good performance. I haven’t revisited caramel crumble again since I’ve been testing other fragrances so I couldn’t speak on that one specifically.

[@barbarapagan9787]

I LOVE Commodity’s Gold so I look forward to hear what you think about the rest of the line. I was able to smell Lira this weekend and was surprised I actually enjoyed it. I don’t think of myself as a gourmand lover but I might have to start exploring 😁 Have you visited La Jetée Perfumery in Orlando?

[@rebecacollazo]

I can’t believe I haven’t heard of La Jetée!! As soon as I saw your comment I went straight to google and now I’ll be planning a trip soon!! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️

[@barbarapagan9787]

Yas! My husband and I went last weekend and we were like 2 kids in a candy store. It was so nice to be able to finally experience some of the fragrances and their selection I thought was pretty decent (at least for this novice) It was hubby’s birthday so we did make a purchase but at least a couple more fragrances made their way onto my wishlist 😊 Hope you can get there and visit soon ❤

[@kelsea16]

Can’t wait for the Commodity line review! I just picked up Milk and Gold in the Expressive versions, and I’m in love!! ❤

[@rebecacollazo]

I’m going to start testing since the Sephora VIB is coming 🙌🏼

[@daniellesecher]

is the cream chiffon more of a skin scent?

[@rebecacollazo]

Cream Chiffon sits in my bubble. I say that because it’s not loud or projects but I smell it on and around me throughout the day. I don’t have to put nose to skin but can smell it close but don’t think others can smell it unless they are super close to me. If that makes sense.

[@kara8911]

Commodity Milk (in all levels) is my favorite perfume of all time! I have This is Her and they are very different but adore them both but Milk stole my heart/nose, ha! Gold made my stomach hurt (I tried the moderate intensity) and I have tried a couple others that were only ok.

[@rebecacollazo]

I have high hopes for Milk 🥛🙌🏼🥛 I think I will explore that one (all levels) this week 🥰

[@kara8911]

@@rebecacollazo I hope you love it! I’ve tried the three different intensities for it and adore them all.

[@kayjee7577]

Another banger, Becksters!🤗💕 I finally got a sample of Prada Paradoxe and honestly at first blast I got Donna Born In Roma... Like... 99.99999%.... But!! It's the dry down I think! The dry down in DBIR is sweeter, that bourbon vanilla is definitely the star... Paradoxe, to me, is a much cleaner, smoother... sweet dry down. I think I actually prefer Paradoxe over DBIR...😳😬🤷🏼‍♀️😂 I'm sorryyyy girls I just *do* I can't help it!! Plus, the collector in me needssss that bottle!!😂😂 But I definitely prefer that smooth Prada "vibe" in the dry down. I really want Prada La Femme tbh. That's one I haven't gotten but know that I will, does that make sense?! Lol! Anyways rant over now! 😂 💕🤗🥰

[@rebecacollazo]

Thanks Kam Kam 😘 That Prada Paradoxe bottle is super fun and cute. I almost got the 30ml and so glad I went for the 50ml instead. Prada La Femme is another beauty of a fragrance. I need to pull that one out more ❤️

[@CocoPebz]

First 🥰

[@GretaBeth]

I don’t think the HOS smells like TF Bitter Peach. I think if someone is expecting that, they will be disappointed.

[@rebecacollazo]

I smell the similarities but fragrances are super subjective. Even online some get the similarities and some don’t. Which is why I always suggest sampling first 😉

[@mojob356]

Juliana's perfume has amazing dupes. I love them more than Be Layered

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

@@rebecacollazo Right...so cute

[@jaytibee]

HOS sales on new products have always been so suspect to me lol but I’m not complaining. It just looks intentional. Like overpricing new releases so the discounted price urges more people to buy, which may have been the normal price all along. 😅 A lot of brands have been using this kind of “discount marketing” for the past few years

[@rebecacollazo]

I’ve definitely learned my lesson and will wait for a sale since it’s inevitable 😂
