10 SPRING Fragrances I'll Be Wearing 2018!

[@susanmenn5016]

One of my coworkers has that Alien Eau Extraordinare. It smells really great, so now I want to buy a bottle.

[@caitieeeee]

Spring fragrances are so welcome after nearly a year of being in a school where I can’t wear fragrance. I’m ready for my florals ngl, especially A La Nuit ❤️ I should also just go for a full bottle of EdM since I love it so much, my mini bottle will almost certainly be emptied out by the end of this summer. And I’m definitely pulling out my beauties Ombre dans L’eau, Wood Sage and Sea Salt, and Britney Spears Curious because that one is such a winner.

[@molly4495]

Caitie Regan in love with A La Nuit. Perfect for summer evenings.

[@SucreJewel]

Just ordered Kate Spade "In Full Bloom". It was a blind purchase but I really love florals so I decided to try it. Hope I like it...

[@jendobing8482]

Love falling into the sea! Bought it while in San Francisco and it’s a stunner. It definitely has a salty vibe to it. Can’t wait to wear it as soon as the snow melts in Canada!

[@The1sista]

Gosh I haven't even thought about spring yet. I'm too much in love with my winter fragrances. Great video as always

[@BeautyFrog]

Thanks for the amazing suggestions and short but sweet reviews as well.Since you first talked about eau des merveilles I was ‘surprised’ by your take and interpretation of it! Not in a bad way, don’t get me wrong, I was just amazed by different feelings we can get from the exact same thing! Of course, the notes are the notes and we do ‘smell’ the same ones, but I feel them differently. Even though it is a fragrance you could wear all year round, I wear it as my one and only fragrance in a specific period of the year. Late, almost ending summer, when is still hot and humid but you can feel things are starting to change, days are still long but are getting visibly shorter, the sun is a tiny bit lower, the skin is already tired of the sun exposure (I never tan but that is the feeling I get), the sea salt has a characteristic dry smell, the grass is burned but start growing back here and there as mornings and evenings are a bit colder. Those are the last days on the beach for people who live in countries and places close to the sea, or for those who were lucky enough to get a few last days of holidays, at the very end of August till mid September. I wear it in other periods as well, however what I feel whenever I use it is what I actually described. I cannot see winter nor Christmas, I feel a very specific summer ending period and climate in it! Amazing how our brains work!

[@ouch110]

It's the whole perfume is "subjective" thing. I work with a lady who has an AMAZING nose but we consistently smell the opposite in fragrances. It's one of the most difficult things being a reviewer...

[@NeveCro]

alien eau extraordinaire is my signature scent and to me it's more suited for winter, that tiare gives it a warmth that original doesn't have. Also alien aqua chic pink bottle is gorgeous

[@Emilleigh]

Ostara, Absolutely Blooming, Pleats Please, Truth or Dare, and Carven Le Parfum are my top 5 for spring! I am so ready for florals after bathing in cozy, sweet vanillas all winter. I love your list; I haven’t smelled most of them (and now I must).

[@ouch110]

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Emilleigh. :) Enjoy spring!

[@justmissh.405]

Hi! Loved your video! You gave some new fragrance names to try out: Pure poison, Etat libre d'orange et Eau de Merveilles are on my list now :). I leave in the Tropics so I'll go and watch your Summer fragrance video. Tks again!

[@ouch110]

Thank you!!

[@molly4495]

I just got a bottle of Alien Eau Extraordinare too, can't wait to wear it a ton! Also looking forward to Le Labo Ylang49, Marc Jacobs for Women, Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche and Chanel no. 5 Eau Premiere to name a few.

[@sheilahardcastle8512]

molly44

[@ouch110]

Ylang 49. LOVE.

[@oliviavillanueva3937]

Nice suggestions, I’m waiting on my alien extraordinaire on the mail! Hope to give it a lot of use in spring

[@cherylcheung5588]

You’re my best fragrance reviewer in KZbin because of your knowledge, humour and we share the same taste .. Love you @ouch110

[@ouch110]

Awww you're so sweet thanks!!! I just try to have fun!

[@ShanaGlee]

I'm so happy I found you! There's a couple of fragrances I haven't heard of and they sound intruiging, Mito and Junky. Mito seems delightful, whereas Junky scares me and makes me want it more. Will be ordering samples.

[@ouch110]

Hehe try them! They are cool

[@jenniferbrock2999]

I just got Nightingale last week after sampling it. Love love love

[@mrspress8057]

Nice list! You know I struggle with typical spring/summer scents. I usually wear scents that are really for cool/cold weather, but that I think work well in heat, so my list goes a little something like this: Floris Honey Oud, Amouage Sunshine Woman, Amouage Beloved Woman, Amouage Epic Woman, Amouage Opus I, Vivienne Westwood’s Boudoir, Givenchy Organza, Atelier Cologne Vanille Insensee, Mugler Pure Havane, Dior Poison. Add Xerjoff Al-Khatt if it behaves well in heat...I bought it recently, so it remains to be seen lol.

[@ouch110]

I saw Boudoir in my local TK Maxx the other day, it was a shaky moment! haha

[@mrspress8057]

ouch110 Fragrance Reviews I blind bought it after seeing your review of it...great buy. The opening is a little youthful, but the dry-down is so sexy...I love it!

[@pamelawolf313]

Could you please list some of the more obscure scents? Im new here and to perfume and I can't figure out how to spell some of the brands ive never heard of.please and thank you. Lovey your channel.

[@JohmathanBSwift]

Same thing here in Ohio. Cold , sometimes snowing . We did get up to 55 for a couple days. Hardly any sun though. The weather here is worse than Syracuse NY. At least in Syracuse it snowed enough to do something . Here's cold slush and wet drizzle snow. Soooooo tried of the cold. Been wearing Annick's Eau d' Hadrin . Couple of AdP's Neroli ones. TdH , etc. Oh, great list Thomas . Had to bitch about the weather some. Oh, have you tried Byredo's Pulp ? Just wondering if there's similarities to Flowerhead and Pulp . I like Byredo's Bel D' Afrique . Thinking about getting the hair spray to it.

[@ouch110]

I have tried pulp yes! I have a bottle, it's fun. Super green figgy juicyness. People say it's like rotting fruit but I think it's the opposite, under ripe fruit. Flowerhead isn't similar to my nose. Flowerhead is a sour juicy white floral but, onceI I get my bottle..I will wear it more and dissect it more too. :)

[@JohmathanBSwift]

I ordered the hair spray .Let you know about it.

[@mioshkah2824]

Lovely to see Mito on your list! It does not get too much attention even though it's gorgeous. I am into the voile version which is a bit lushier but also it has galbanum prominent though all its development.

[@ouch110]

Vero perfumes are super cool, I can feel the thread in them but Mito has stuck out. I won't speak about Naja...now THAT is something gorgeous. omg.

[@mioshkah2824]

They are! Now I have to get my nose to Naja, haven't yet...

[@rinate4048]

Great video! I wonder if I should get womanity by theiry mugler. I never had one...is it special or mehh...and for what season? Tnx!

[@ouch110]

It's special ina way because it was the first fragrance to really showcase a salty figgy sea like thing. I'ts kinda cool, although...it has deffo be reformulated. Booo. It was potent before.

[@wangarimuriithi8748]

Try it before you buy it. I love love love it. Most of my friends detest it (hate it). One of the two bottles I own was given to me by a colleague who could not stand it. It is quite heavy and long lasting.

[@rinate4048]

wangari muriithi if I like angel and alien do you think I might like it?

[@wangarimuriithi8748]

I love the original Alien and all its flankers, however I've never warmed up to Angel. Womanity is strong in terms of longetivity but whereas Angel and Alien are scents that can be light if sprayed sparingly, Womanity is heavy even with one spritz. Which I love (in an Alien Absolue way) not that they are similar. But share a kind of similar vibe. For those who love categorizing perfumes, this would solidly be put in the winter/night group.

[@wangarimuriithi8748]

Forgot to add one of my friends who dislikes this scent loves Alien but likes Angel. I know this is not helping rather makes your decision more confusing. But it's nothing like Angel or Alien.

[@barefoothoodoo9761]

Your shirt gives me life! ❤️ Definitely going to have to try Junky. I wear Hermès’ EDM all year. Love it!

[@ouch110]

Thanks! And yes!!!!!!!!!!!!! Try Junky...it's so cool and different.

[@TheVoltaire1]

Do you like hummingbird? That's my favourite floral from Zoologist. It's snowing in NYC today..so my sotd is Bat. Lol I'm going to be wearing a lot of Dryad and Fatih Sultan Memet this spring.

[@ouch110]

I do! It's not my fave from the brand but I appreciate all of Zoologist fragrances for one reason or another. :)

[@svetlanah7671]

Love your reviews! 👍👍👍I like to wear Chanel Misia and Gypsy Water Byredo. Have you tested Mugler Les Exclusive collection ? It’s doesn’t sell in USA ☹️

[@ouch110]

Hello!!! Thanks!! I have only smelled one of em and it was on another person haha. So, I'm not too familiar with them. I can imagine there might be some beauties.

[@marcilk7534]

I love Valentino Donna in Spring. What do you think of Dolce Garden? It's one of the only fragrances with coconut that I've liked. I haven't found a KZbin review on it yet.

[@ouch110]

Hello! Oh I haven't smelled it. It's a flanker of the green Dolce on right? and Floral Drops? I'm not sure I have smelled any of em. :( Sad times.

[@angelam797]

Marci LK I have Dolce Garden and I love it ?

[@10-4-goodbuddy]

Does Pure Dior has a clean sweet soapy smell?

[@ouch110]

Yes! And it's also powdery, not SO sweet!

[@Angela_Douglas1122]

I love this review thank you for always putting so many different kinds of perfume in this review. I love angel ou demon by givenchy it’s my signature i’m always looking for perfumes like it i love dark salty musky algae kinds of smells do you have any dark salty sea perfumes? Sel Marin is probably the fragrance that Heeley are best known for. An upscale oceanic scent that contains notes of lemon, bergamot, beech leaf, sea salt, algae, moss, seaweed, vetiver, musk, leather and cedarwood. have you smelled this ? i must try it 🌊

[@ouch110]

Thanks! I don't really own any sea inspired fragrances but if you want dark sea? Go for "entre ciel et mer" by Pierre Guillame (between sky and sea) and for something truly bold? Go for Fathom V by Beaufort. It's inspired by murky water and pirate ships. It's very sea grass aquatic. :)

[@Angela_Douglas1122]

ouch110 Fragrance Reviews thank you so much 😊❤️

[@elnina7]

Hey Thomas, thanks for this. I was just wondering when you'd be reviewing the Merveille range. I suppose out of them all, Eau des Merveille would be your favourite? While I am not normally drawn to springy fragrances, I must say EdM has caught my fancy along with Nightingale. Oh and of course, Mito..so glad to have been introduced to you..you sound like you smell like Van Cleef, thanks to the galbdanum..hmm I do wonder if you are both similar. Either way I will be getting my hands on you both..one at a time of course. Awesome vid, thanks again Thomas! 🤗

[@ouch110]

Hello Elaine! I've only reviewed the original Merveilles and its' nothing like mito or van cleef. They are all very different. :) Nightingale is a powdery chypre, it;s amazing. Mito...gosh it's a bright tuberose galbanum and van cleef? classic smooth and is unusual it's so hard to describe.

[@elnina7]

@@ouch110 Wow, wasn't expecting further clarification on the difference between these 3 frags..thanks Thomas!

[@lilseapov]

Hi, I'd love to know your opinion about a classic from the 90s called Animale by Animale. I really like it so, I'd love to get to know this fragrance more with your help.

[@ouch110]

It sounds beastly....where would I get a sample?

[@elizacosmetics6061]

I want to try Nightingale so badly! Your review just reaffirmed my need to get a sample, haha. THANK YOU for not doing all florals. Leafy scents, aquatic scents (and cucumber? oooh) do deserve more attention.

[@ouch110]

:) I had to put a few florals in there, they are lovely for spring but, there are so many other things you can wear. :) Rock that cucumber! haha

[@MJTheEnigma]

You must try Demeter fragrances! They are inexpensive and BEAUTIFUL. their dirt fragrance is like nothing I’ve smelled before. I mean , besides dirt itself.

[@ouch110]

Haha I have tried a few, I'm desperate to try Petrichor as it's my favorite smell in the world...ever!

[@darthraider4638]

I love dior dolce vita in spring, viktor rolf flower bomb.. Mulger cologne..

[@anya_asmr_anya]

Pure Poison smells like an expensive soap to me :) I love it. btw. have you tried Still by Jennifer Lopez? I was recommended it for spring but I've never smelled it.

[@ouch110]

I have!! It's a cool one, it's centered around tea which is always a cool note!

[@wangarimuriithi8748]

Pure Poison smells like a muted Intimately Beckham. Still is my best Jlo scent. And it really smells like tea.

[@margaretcameron1559]

Love your humour and love your reviews 😊

[@mailepointfive]

If you're open to mint, maybe check out Diabolo Rose by Les parfums de Rosine. It's a mint, rose fragrance!

[@ouch110]

Thanks!! I will!

[@pomeloish]

I would love to see a review on Chloe original 1975 made by you, even though I have it already and love!

[@ouch110]

Oooh that would be fun, I LOVE doing a vintage review here and there. :)

[@angel.lately]

lol Tom you broke my heart in 0.2 seconds. No florals??? WHO ARE YOU???

[@ouch110]

Haaa aww I still had SOME florals in there. I just get a it tired of spring lists with allll florals. :)

[@caseyw.6550]

Oooh I wanna smell that minty one! I really like the bottle actually!

[@ouch110]

It's so cool!! Deffo try it out. :)

[@josefinvaris707]

Please do more BPAL reviews! I use only their fragrances. I like your reviews. They are very helpful. :)

[@ouch110]

I will Josefin, I WILL!!!

[@nicoleyoung3927]

I feel like we have the same exact taste in fragrance!… I’m about as obsessed as you LOL… Can you recommend a good coconut fragrance? I want something fresh, I love diptique fig coconut perfume... just want something soft fresh maybe creamy little bit sweet really friendly on the nose if you can recommend? No one ever responds so I won’t expect you to but if you do that would be amazing! 😊

[@ouch110]

Sure!!! Try Fils De Dieu by Etat Libre D'Orange. It's a bit weird at first (as most of theirs are) but the dry down is amazing! It's coconut, lime and rice which makes it smell a bit like a Thai curry but when it dries irt reveals a beautiful character. If you want something more edgy maybe try Elephant by Zoologist. This one has crushed leaves and sandalwood in it too. For something a bit cheaper and easier to find? Try Terracotta by Guerlain, a beautiful sunny white floral with coconut. Or finally...one of my faves....versace Crystal Noir (EDP). It's amazing!

[@Varenjece]

I have been thinking for a while now who you remind me of and today it clicked😄It is probably just me but you do remind me of Darren Hayes from Savage Garden in his early years....it is a compliment btw😁xoxo

[@ouch110]

Well thanks!!!!!! He's a handsome fella! Normally people say I look like Stephen Mulherne who is a British TV presenter. :) I kinda agree.

[@Varenjece]

Oh no I don't see any resemblance🙊I will stick to Darren Hayes😁

[@jboogie8908]

You’re so informative!

Nice shirt and nice hair Tom😍

[@ouch110]

Thanks! :)

[@nicoleyoung3927]

I like your videos

[@ouch110]

Thanks!!!

[@lawsdraws]

Tom, would you consider doing a review on vegan / cruelty-free fragrances (Lavanila, Penhaligons, Le Labo, cheapy M&S etc... brands that don't test on animals or sold in China)?

[@shaumia82]

Laura Brett go through his playlist he already has some from both Le Labo and and quite a few of Penhaligons

[@ouch110]

Hello! Of course...the sad fact is that, while a fragrance company can safely say "not tested on animals" it's likely that their supplier has...or...their suppliers supplier. It's a tricky one! :(

[@lawsdraws]

Hey :) Yes, it's sad. I've been vegan for a while now, and it's made me really think about the cosmetics I use and try to make the transition to stuff that is animal friendly :) I will use up what I have already, but moving forward I'm looking at CF brands. I know this wont be for everyone, especially perfume lovers! But if anyone can do a bad ass review of these kind of fragrances, then YOU can! I know you've already reviewed some that fall into this category, so I will watch those

[@katyamuravyeva9880]

[@kittymeow84]

That juicy sweet thing is in EVERY Byredo I've tried and I just can NOT stand it. Ugh. Makes me hate the brand so much. And add the fact they last all of 2 seconds on me. Blah! The ELdO on the other hand sounds amaaaazing

[@ouch110]

Oh really? I haven't experienced enough of them to know. I do own M/Mink though and I can tell ya....NO sweetness in there haha. Its like a crazy barnyard incense weirdness. :)

[@kittymeow84]

You're brave to have the M/Mink! I had a sample of that and it was way too much for me - very inky and...aggressive in a way. So I tested more Byredos today and I reckon maybe 80% have that sweetness. The stuff that is in Pulp, Bal D'Afrique, the Oliver People's one etc. I did like La Tulipe but fear it goes the way of all byredos that dont have the icky sweetness: disappears in minutes. So disappointing! I will stop whinging though and say I bought Musc Ravageur cos at least Frederic Malle can always be counted on!

[@Amyleonhardt947]

Have you tried Seven Veils?
