NEW PERFUME PICK-UPS; MANY LOVES, ONE "MEH"

[@ScentsibleHomeWithJamie]

I’m so glad someone is finally not hyping up Phlur. I haven’t found anything from them that I like.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Oh my gosh…I’m like “huh?”😂 I’m doing a house review this week. It’s going to be a very short video. 😂

[@ScentsibleHomeWithJamie]

@@ThePerfumeNest 🤣 I’m excited to hear your thoughts! 👌🏻

[@VegaChastain]

Same, the only one I *kindof liked was Ameline, I could MAYBE wear Not your Baby, but I don't think anyone (not even me) would ever smell these lol

[@heavenj7]

I don’t get the hype either 🤷‍♀️

[@ScentsibleHomeWithJamie]

@@VegaChastain I literally cannot smell Missing Person or Lost Cause. I’m not sure that they aren’t just selling water. 🧐

[@jillshorten3457]

Yes to a Dries Van Noten house review!! I finally got my nose on Rock the Myrrh (gorgeous), but feel as if it’s too heavy for my AZ heat 🔥🔥 right now. Look forward to testing again in the fall.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Yes I LOVED Rock in the cold you are right. I’ll be wearing others now and Rock will not be in the primary rotation

[@MsRedeye1980]

I also love rock the myrrh, thanks to Chris’ recommendation. I live in sweaty Puerto Rico and can still Manage to wear it. I just can’t. Manage to BUY it $$$! 😂 I’d love e to watch a dries van noten brand video. Sur ma peau is pretty as well.

[@susanbohm3601]

Love the color of the Hudson Yards bottle. I love lily of the valley too…for the same reason as you..reminds me of my childhood and my mom’s favorite flower.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Aw. That is so sweet. 💕

[@tammyroxanne.]

Oh gosh I was wearing my sample of Narco Oasis a couple of days ago and I'm telling you I was having a happy day! It's so good! 🍑🍐🍊🌟

[@ThePerfumeNest]

😂😂💕💕Right? I probably only need a 9 ml of it but I just love it!

[@lyndaprather2138]

Yay. Look at you! You have made a dull, gray and rainy day a whole lot brighter!!! Narco Oasis love those notes. Sounds like sunshine in a bottle with a sexy touch. Strawberry Letter sounds fun. I knew exactly what you were saying when you said “zero calorie strawberry jam”! Thanks for your assessment where you likened it to a good body spray. I’ll almost bet I’ve got something from BBW that will take up that space. 🥰. Hope your weekend is lovely.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

lol! It was storming when I filmed the video; I was wondering if others could hear the thunder and lightening! 😂💕💕

[@lyndaprather2138]

Didn’t hear a thing!!! Hope to see you poolside w/ hat and sunglasses soon!!!

[@allisonbotts8532]

Thanks Chris! Can't wait for the Dries Van Noten house review! I just ordered Chloe Vanilla Planifolia. I sampled & loved it.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Oh VP is SO special!!

[@nele9045]

"adds Dries van Noten discovery set to cart" lol maybe not today but your reviews (and to be fair, the gorgeous presentation-- hello?!) really make me want to try this set!

[@ThePerfumeNest]

lol!! The set, even by itself, it’s lovely. ❤️😆

[@sk_abstract_art]

Narco Oasis is sooooo good! Its neck and neck with Sunsplosion for me, happy to have both. They both do so well in the heat. Santal Volcanique and Jardin are on my list to try now❤ Happy Saturday Chris, thank you!😊

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Thank you! I agree! I love NO and Sunplosion!!!

[@cdubya752]

I’ve never smelled Sunsplosion, that’s Simone Andreoli?

[@35jaxlove]

Vanilla, you bring the fire to my Saturday, I can always come to your videos and watch some of most unique and beautiful perfumes.. cheers.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Thank you!!!🙏🏻

[@anhdoan3769]

Agreed 100% on Phlur fragrances, they all give me body spray vibes. A Dries Van Noten discovery set sounds like a dangerous move lol 😂. But jardin de l'orangerie sounds delicious!

[@ThePerfumeNest]

lol! Yes and yes!!💕

[@susand4230]

Thanks for the great video! I agree about Phlur and Strawberry Letter. It didn’t impress me and wasn’t my “jam” (joke intended)

[@ThePerfumeNest]

I totally agree! 😂

[@شهابالشمراني-ظ4م]

Actually the liquides imaginaire collection is most pure ingredients ever seen I was use fortis perfume Italy 🇮🇹 ❤

[@ThePerfumeNest]

[@marianahernandez8306]

Hi Chris! Yes, mixed emotions with the discovery sets.. On one side so curious and I love to smell new fragrances but if I fall in love and it’s expensive 💔😂

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Yes!!! I agree!!!😂💕💕💕

[@singlehandedbeauty3581]

I just tested Vanille des Afriques and it's beautiful on paper. I will test it on skin once my sense of smell has returned in full force. I did pick up Ô Féminin by M. Micallef (I sampled it before I got sick) and I'm addicted! Orange blossom, neroli, and citrus notes are about the only notes I can smell in full force. Jardin de L'Orangerie sounds lovely! 🧡

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Oh my gosh I’m obsessed with O Feminin also! In fact, I’m leaving for an outdoor wedding in 30 minutes and it might be my pick! It’s in the running. I hope you feel better soon!

[@nicolettagilardoni1557]

I will give Santal Volcanique a try, although I fear I am in love with Sandalwood but it does not love me back.... Buon pomeriggio da Milano ❤

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Aw. I am going to do an entire video on sandalwood sometime in the next few months. 💕

[@amandainessex1784]

Hello - Thanks for the great video. I've been reaching for Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche and Surge Lutens Bois Vanillée. Perfect for English sunny days.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Oh I love Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche! I’ve loved that one for years!!!!

[@Saramariahelena]

Un Jardin A Cythere from Hermes is a fairly new perfume i have and i think its magic. So summery and warm and different. I absolutely adore it!

[@ThePerfumeNest]

I’ve wanted to get my nose on that for the pistachio!

[@Saramariahelena]

@@ThePerfumeNest yes you should😊 Its lovely!

[@ScentsibleHomeWithJamie]

I have to get my nose on Santal Volcanique and Narco Oasis. They’ve been on my radar for a while, I just haven’t ordered them for one reason or another. Ceramic sounds amazing. 👌🏻 Qi seems like it’s right up my alley. I’ve really wanted a citrus and cardamom fragrance. (Nio is on the list to try.)

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Qi is sooo pretty. But just know it only lasts about half day. I personally don’t mind. 💕

[@frontporchwigchat6260]

Your co-workers are lucky folks, I think. You must make that place smell heavenly! My latest acquisition is Lattafa Khair Pistachio. You won't believe it, but I don't think I've ever eaten a pistachio in my entire life. It just sounded so scrumptious, plus it was very affordable and I do like it, very unlike anything else I have, same as Liam. Hope you have a great week, Chris. ~Cynthia

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Aw! I’m lucky I have great coworkers (for the most part). 😂 yes that one is supposed to be a dupe of Kayali Yum? Which is very loved in my house (esp by my daughter). 😂 Have a great week Cynthia!

[@Marta_W-K]

Chris, thank you for your review 💛 I’m so intrigued by Fleuve Tendre, Santal Volcanique, Qi and Vanille des Afriques. I finally had a chance to sample O Feminine and loved it! Orange blossom does not always work for me but in here it is done very lovely. I already ordered a full bottle 😊

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Yes! I’m wearing O Feminin right now!!

[@georgianapetreaa]

I recently added Joorie from Kajal ❤️ a honeyd floral ❤️❤️❤️

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Ooh! I haven’t tried that one!

[@adrianavargova]

I was listening to your video with a pen in my hand and I have made notes, which perfumes I wanted to try and the list looked like this: ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ..... 😂 AND I am super excited to hear about a perfume which smells like a luxurious face cream 😮! No, it's not boring. On the contrary, I have been on a hunt for such perfumes for my whole life!!!

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Ah thank you for the feedback!!!💕

[@raque.gf88]

Qi sounds wonderful as well, I love the quality/price ratio in the Ormonde Jayne perfumes

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Agree. And well made classy fragrances

[@sarahglen1140]

Oh you are so right, I have not checked out Santal Volcanique because I thought it would smell very smokey or something. Good to keep in mind!

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Yes! Def worth a sample. I love it. If you win my giveaway that could be one to try!!💕

[@raque.gf88]

Santal Volcanique and Ceramic sound intriguing; I will try to sample both 🤍

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Hey there!!

[@karenjanssen3230]

Sonja constant is an amazing perfumer! Her Ella K line is outstanding!

I know! I have the entire set and have been planning on doing a house review. I have 2FBs (Lettre and Cri)

[@katrinadenza1811]

Narco Oasis sounds wonderful! I love natural-smelling fruit notes! Wonderful video as always!

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Oh it’s sooo nice. But it’s got a beautiful vanilla with it which you’ll love now that you’re a gourmand fan! 😂

[@tanjavanE]

I loooooove Santal volcanique!! I had a small bottle I got for myself but for some reason it ended up in my hubby’s closet .. And it smells so super good and sexy on him .. love it Bottle is empty so need to get a big bottle ..

[@ThePerfumeNest]

“Somehow it ended up in my husband’s closet”. 😂😂😂The same thing happened to my bottle of Tobacco Honey. 🤨🧐😂

[@MsRedeye1980]

Santal Volcanique surprised me too. I really like it. It means a hint masculine on me and that is what keeps me from Wanting a full body. It’s lovely though. Underrated from the brand. I wanna try aarco oasis now. I would love a good passion fruit scent as I really enjoy the smell of the fruit. Thanks for mentioning it .

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Yes I agree about Santal Volcanique. I can def see it working well on men also.

[@tigeygirl]

Here you go getting me to want more perfume again! I’m trying to be good and am waiting to go to ZGO Perfumery later in the month and spend a couple of hours there sampling. I live about forty minutes from the store and going for my birthday treat before dinner in the city!

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Oh fun! Sounds like a lovely day you have planned! I order from ZGO!

[@tdsollog]

I didn’t see the hype in Phlur perfumes either

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Yea no. 🧐😂

Chris, I can't wait to try Ormande Jayne's Qui-I love tea in the summer. I have Vanille des Afriques-so pretty. Narco Oasis is such a perfect fruity floral for summer. I have a decant. Love the video:)

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Wow look at us! We are scent twins!💕😊

[@dcjimr1]

I finally bit the bullet and bought Narco Oasis. Along with Delta of Venus it is my favorite tropical fruit scent...so gorgeous. It's not lasting the longest on me, but I know Jackie said in one of her videos that it needs to sit for a while so I'm going to give that a try. I also have Dulce Diablo and that one definitely has strengthened over the last few months! Thanks for sharing your new finds! You talked me into ordering the Dries Van Noten discovery set. 😄

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Ah!!! Well hopefully you have lots of willpower! 😆Fortunately there were two that were a big no! 😂

[@dcjimr1]

@@ThePerfumeNest Oh my goodness, you were sooo right about Rock the Myrrh. That is incredible! I'm also loving Fleur du Mal. The only total scrubber for me so far is Neon Garden, which dries down to pure ambroxan to my nose. 😝 Very glad I bought this discovery set!

[@lularoelauriehicks7177]

Narco Oasis is on my wish list, it's so lovely! Oh Ceramic and Jardin de L'Orangerie sound right up my alley! I don't know how strong my will power is but I may have to get the discovery set for Dries Van Noten. LOTV also reminds me of my childhood. It's just the way my mom always smelled. My latest pick ups Scent Journey Cocktails and Catamarans, Nishane Wulong Cha X, Penhaligons Solaris and Les Indemodables Chypre Azural.

Hello Chris! This is such a beautiful lineup. I’m very curious about OJ Qi and Vanille Des Afriques; I have a few Ormonde Jayne but I love them all. I am also going to revisit my sample of Jardin de L’Orangerie….because you said “I would highly recommend going through the discovery set only if you have a lot of willpower….”🤣🤣🤣. It’s true though, their fragrances are so expensive and at the time I was trying to get Soie Malaquais, only Selfridges carried it, so I had asked a traveling friend to get it for me. 🥰

[@ThePerfumeNest]

😂😂Yes. There are several places I have purchased them in the states (the DVN website, Saks and Bergdof all carry the line) it’s cheaper on Selfridges if you live in the UK but with all the new added mongo taxes and crap that they add on it’s no longer a better deal

[@ThePerfumeNest]

lol. Yes I thought Missing Person should be renamed Missing Perfume. It’s a ghost…

[@embeth446]

I love the smell of Missing Person but I can’t smell it on myself after an hour or two but other people can smell it because I get complimented like crazy when I wear that perfume. I had a random person at work tell me I smelled like “a breath of fresh air.” Another time someone told me I smelled so good and it reminded her of some happy scent from her childhood. She didn’t even know what I was wearing, and this was like a mom at my kids school who is not a perfume guru. So there is definitely something about that perfume. Not sure if I grow anosmic to it or what but I love the smell when I first spray it.
