PERFUME HAUL | 3 Wins, 1 Fail, & New Favorite!

[@thesimplechiclife]

Hey guys! Perfume haul starts at 7:30 if you want to skip my chatty intro 💗 In the intro I talk a bit about changing my channel name back, as well as just life in general!:)

[@ultraviolettas]

I skipped ahead because I’m impatient but I ADORE Tres Chere so much!! It’s the perfect elegant, complex, beachy vanilla and reminds me of spending my childhood summers with my grandmother in New England at the beach. I almost cried the first time I smelled it and I bought a full bottle immediately!! 💕🥰🌊🐚 I couldn’t do For Your Love because of the patchouli so I got Sweet Praline instead, still has the raspberry benzoin and and ambroxan/ambergris combo but with jasmine instead. The next two Mizensirs on my list are Poudre d’Or and Ambre Magique!

[@thesimplechiclife]

Yes I also want to try ambre magique!

[@anap5172]

Mizensir for your love… please try it again in summer. It’s magical!! Compliments are galore. Cause I had the same problem, when I received it.

[@thesimplechiclife]

Thank you for that!

[@patr70]

OMG. Mizensir "For Your Love" is Incredible. It's just as good as MFK Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait.

[@sideeffect2]

I love Tres Chere! Also, give For Your Love a little time. I didn't care for it at first but now I LOVE it! I swear sometimes weather, time of year, even expectations can really change a fragrance!

[@literarymary4933]

I completely agree-I thought it was a flop at first and now I’m COMPLETELY addicted!! ❤

[@katyalk751]

I love “for your love”.. so interesting how all our noses smell things differently. I’ve been wanting to try tres chere.. on my list!!

[@BAW47]

Thank you so much for your videos ❤️ I've grown to really look forward to them. I love the coffee and chit chat. It is part of what separates you from other fragrance channels. And thank you for recognizing that not all of us can blind buy ten $400 perfumes. I'm a bartender and have to budget for the nice things I want. I trust you and your opinion 💕 you are a true gem 💎👑

[@bonniehirtz5640]

Nice review- ty for sharing! Have you ever smelled Noa? It has that soft, powdery, signature scent about it. U might find it dated- not sure- but it just has SOMETHING about it! By the way- they have a new coffee creamer out that's Twinkie flavored! I got it yesterday and OMG..so yummy- tastes just like birthday cake!

[@juliareid3258]

Can’t wait to try tres Cher. I’m not a huge gourmand lover, but this sounds lighter and elegant.

[@birgitteh9022]

Hi there! I’m a big fan of Mizensir’s Tres Chere and I l♥ve Poudre D’or as well. They are so elegant and so well blended. But I also have to overspray them if I want to smell myself. It’s like they are almost too soft. What is your opinion on that?

[@ultraviolettas]

Question, how powdery is Poudre d’Or?

[@sofibenitez6292]

The chatting makes me feel like I'm on ft! So comforting especially since I just moved and don't have many friends yet💖

[@thesimplechiclife]

Yay!:) that’s the goal. I don’t interact with many people in my day either; so you guys are like my virtual friends 🤗 😊

[@crystalmartin]

Tres Chere is absolutely stunning. I purchased it blind based on a few reviews and the notes. It is perfection. I honestly can’t describe it. Someone said it is like Goldilocks….just right and I can’t agree more!! I didn’t care for For Your Love either. I had a sample I found, and I was so happy I didn’t buy it.

[@pamelaberry2668]

Does the Guerlain fragrance smell anything like Narciso Poudree?

[@catreshamathis8210]

Great video! Soleil Blanc EDP is on my wishlist! I may try a sample of the EDT one but EDP sounds like it would be a fragrance I would love!

[@lauravterrazas]

I ALMOST blind bought 'For your love' as well... mainly due to the great reviews. I ended up finding samples for sale on Mercari and I'm sooo glad I didn't originally blind buy. ✅

[@azizam3101]

I absolutely adore for your love! Also love tres cher but the longevity was really poor on my skin

[@ellennewth6305]

I always liked the Simple Chic Life and I'm glad you went back to it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.

[@StudiousSu]

I really want to try that “de lingerie” I’ve been on the hunt for a powdery vanilla for so long + that bottle is so pretty & minimal! Also who won the contest??!! 👀

[@MrsJay613]

Great to see the OG name back 🥰 Also, I’m so happy to see you review Guerlain’s Eau di Lingerie. It’s from their “Confidential Materials” line which is 4 EDTs and they’re highly underrated. I was fortunate to sniff them all and Eau di Lingerie & Eau di Cashmere were my favs!

[@sarahpenz3739]

Ilythia I have been thinking about picking up Tres Chere. Do you think I could wear it in Spring/Summer or only in winter?

[@thesimplechiclife]

No it’s definitely a year round scent:)

[@kristinerothman2526]

Solar Blossom, Sweet Praline and celeb Woods from Mizensir are beautiful I think Sweet Praline is my favorite Solar Bloom is a sweet soapy orange blossom

[@laurenschultz9781]

I absolutely love For your love! It was a blind buy for me and a total win!

[@1babbles1]

Same for me!

[@jacksonspines]

I love coffee too, Ilytha! Coffee and my cat are my two fave things in the world! Haha

[@bordandconfused]

How about trying fragrances from Goldfield & Banks Australia? They smell exquisite, fresh and awesome, especially Sunset Hour, Pacific Rock Moss, Bohemian Lime, Silky Woods, et al.

[@lmpnw2836]

Another one you should get your nose on if you haven’t is Byron Chronic Rouge Extreme! It’s like a smoother slightly creamier well blended Cloud 2.0 with a dose of raspberry. Every girly girl friends I know that have tried it…loved it!

[@temmietaft2552]

Thank you for sharing all of your honest reviews. I absolutely love your channel!!

[@thesimplechiclife]

Thank you so much:)

[@nmernst]

Great choice to change your channel name back 🙂. I ordered a Tom Ford mini. If I like it I can order a larger size later. I'm glad most of what you got this time you really like. Thanks for sharing.

[@s.sheila1439]

Yes! I love Très Chère and the story behind it☺♡ Musc Eternel is another hit for me

[@HJKelley47]

I skipped over to 7:37 for the first perfume review: Mizensir For Your Love. Each individual's body chemistry will affect how perfume smells on you. I've known people who swear by Chanel No. 5, however, it makes me smell like a bad nite in Harlem. Yet, Chanel No 22 smells lovely on me. Each one of us can smell the same perfume, and have a very different smell reaction. That is why it is best to go to a store and sample that particular perfume before investing your hard-earned money on that beautiful and costly bottle of the latest "in-perfume." Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamonds (a popular lower end product) perfume smells harsh on me, yet my Calvin Klein smells heavenly. The most costly perfume I have is Christian Dior J'adore Eau de Parfum (3.4 oz)--a gift. I am not partial to the smell. I infrequently use it, but I would never save up to purchase it myself. I have always found it interesting to see just how different a perfume can smell from person-to-person.

[@thatsmellsdivine]

Tres Chere sounds AMAZING!!!

[@CeliaCavalli]

Ambergris can be tough esp with patchouli…. Just seeing the notes I can tell it would be interesting. The bottle is beautiful!

[@ayeaudreyx3]

So sad that you didn't like For Your Love!! I love that one!! Will you be decluttering it? I would love to buy it LOL

[@raquelt5342]

Ugh I’m in love with this video! 😫👏👏😍soo excited to try these! Only one I cannot find is the guerlain, where did you buy it?

[@OCTV22]

It’s so interesting that Tres Cher lasts a long time for you. I can’t smell it on me after 30 minutes! I adore it though!

[@MelBscents]

Oh wow, I need tres chere, sounds amazing!!! I have heard a couple people talk about, but now I think I need it, lol!!❤️

[@Karinapirate]

Omg you literally just made my week 😭 You’re one of the biggest reasons I’ve discovered this world and your channel is where I go to relax, so thank you!! 💕

[@Karinapirate]

Also every single bottle in this haul is gorgeous packaging wise. I’m obsessed with all clear glass and simple bottles and there’s something about seeing them with your background that just hits different 😍

[@Rayogrl]

This upload notification made my day!

[@andrew7650]

Totally agree with you about your dislike for Mizensir For Your Love! The musk didn’t blend well with the sweetness and it smelt kind of old lady smelling, and there was this random fresh laundry note that also didn’t blend well with the rest of the notes. It would be a good BR540 alternative for an older woman. It doesn’t smell exactly like BR540, maybe has 20% BR540 DNA and has the BR540 airiness but it’s within the same category of BR540.

[@sophieeeaaahhs6547]

I think we get the short end of the stick in Canada when it comes to shipping 😭 I’m so scared to order from US based websites because of the duties and taxes, but I’m so intrigued to try Tres Chere out! And can I just say I love the coffee and chit chats - I feel like I’m having coffee with a friend and discussing perfume lol ☺💛

[@rosie5632]

I agree about the For Your Love review. I got a sample of that and Tres Cher at the same time and I did not like For Your Love at all. I didn’t pick up any of the sweet notes, but I LOVED Tres Cher. Such a beautiful scent.

[@louiseleite3866]

I love vanilla and most of fragrances are white florals so Tres Chere is definitely on my list to sample ❤👍

[@moncurvy3695]

Does Guerlain eau de Lingerie similar like Musk 12 fro Kayali ? 💕

[@peninalipkin2974]

what do you think of Xerjoff? have you ever tried it? i just ordered my first La Capitale. i ordered a 50ml perfect for spring and summer date night. just asking since you wear tom fords :)

[@penelopepalm]

Can I ask where you bought it? It seems sold out everywhere

[@Mimi31_]

La Capitale doesn’t sit well with me, but I can see how it would smell beautiful on others. My fave is Erba Pura…like I’m obsessed and very close to making it my signature scent.

[@peninalipkin2974]

oh you are in the US? i am in the netherlands sorry you couldn't get it but Demi has a code from now until april 16th for 10% off anything on the xerjoff site

[@Vicky262Vicky]

Does Tres Chere last on your skin??

[@WhtvrMe]

Great video! I saw your IG post and was pumped you changed your channel name back. It was perfect! I have not tried any Mizensir scents ever, but now I'm intrigued. It's literally impossible to try EVERYTHING lol. I'm currently loving: Trussardi Limitless Shopping Giardini di Toscana Bianco Latte 4160 Tuesdays Warm Sands Blue Ocean Masque Milano Lost Alice Goldfield Banks Sunset Hour I recently tried Guerlain L'heure Blanc and I love it... I can't find it, sadly.

[@Katmorrow90]

As far as the perfect powdery vanilla you’re looking for- have you tried Montblanc signature? That’s a beautiful fluffy everyday musky vanilla fragrance. It’s amazing to me.

[@thesimplechiclife]

I haven’t yet!:)

[@JordanStar7]

I love the Good American brand jeans. They’re an investment but I wear them over any other pairs I own!

[@andrianasophocleous5258]

The way you described Eau de Lingerie and its notes reminded me a lot of Flowerbomb Dew! You should get your nose on that one if you haven't yet ❤️

Have you tried Tom Ford Soleil Neige? I think it divine 😍

[@courtneynorris6072]

I love your channel and I love Karinas channel! I think it is so awesome you gave her a shout out! ✨♥️✨

[@kristenpedersen8068]

Is Tres Chere similar to YSL Capeline?

[@thesimplechiclife]

Capeline is more yellow floral dominant I believe; Tres chere is more vanilla and is sweeter and less aquatic. 💕

[@kristenpedersen8068]

@@thesimplechiclife thank you!!

[@sarahpenz3739]

Thank you for letting the Canadians know about the customs and duty charges with your Twisted Lily order. It's too bad because that must be something new. I know for sure that a few months ago, they used to cover all of those charges for orders to Canada. They even sent me an email to confirm that they would pay for all of it upfront. Now I see their policy has changed on their site.

[@thesimplechiclife]

Yes I heard from the company the recently changed that’. :/ and now they do charge customs

[@sarahpenz3739]

I’m a jeans nut, and I absolutely love jeans comparison videos! I’ll be looking forward to that one! Amongst other jeans, I have a couple of the Levi’s Wedgie fit, as well as one Ribcage. My guess is going to be for one of those high-waisted types! P.S., I blind bought Marc Jacobs Decadence Eau So Decadent (lucky to find one at Marshall’s) after your recommendation of the regular Decadence. I love it, if not in part due to the awesome purse-shaped bottle. 🥰

So excited that you ordered some jeans❣️❣️❣️ some of my favorites are rag & bone, mother, citizens of humanity, and, Paige. There is such a simplicity to jeans, such a timeless piece. It's effortless sex appeal 💕with the same pair of jeans, you can create a variety of looks, depending on your mood 🤗

[@t43d]

Ilythia, I don’t know if you’re still interested in the YSL Nuit Blanche, but Greta Beth just posted a fragrance declutter video and she’s selling her Nuit Blanche.

[@jenn28348]

I purchased two sample vials of Tres Chere from Twisted Lilly because of this video. Omg...it is such a beautiful fragrance, that it made me feel beautiful and elegant wearing it yesterday. My only concern is that it didn't seem to last very long on me :( I was in and out, and we had hot weather yesterday, so maybe that is why. It definitely is a very soft, skin scent. I am going to keep playing with it, and will probably order a couple more sample vials when they are back in stock. This is EXACTLY how I want to smell, I just need more longevity before I spend $260 on a full bottle.

[@darklausal23]

I can't do Ambergris 😖 I got Love In White by Creed, the Ambergris on me smells like cat urine in a scented litter box 😷

[@veronican9110]

Hey I think you should try something from Schwarzlose berlin

[@katherineseymour6239]

I like Twisted Lily and have ordered previously however, last month I decided I wouldn’t anymore as the duties and taxes are an obscene amount. There are others I can’t find in Canada (let alone a trial) either but the shipping and duties on everything has become too much.

[@Hajerette]

Want to try them all and glad you followed your instincts with your channel name l! ❤️

[@valg9844]

I have a sample of For Your Love, the patchouli note is terrible, I don't know why I even got it since I hate patchouli but I was curious, very disappointed but not surprised. It does have that burned sugar BR540 vibe for my nose, but the patchouli.. just no. Have a sample of Soleil Blanc as well, makes me nauseous probably due to ylang ylang, it seems like I don't like any perfume that contains it, except for Bleu Turquoise, its not that noticeable. Eau De Lingerie looks like one I'd love, but I can't find a place to buy a sample and I don't have it in my country. I have a Sample of Tres Chere and don't like it at all , smells like something I've smelled already before. Looks like I don't like Misenzir perfumes, the bottles are so beautiful tho.

[@Stefita83]

In French, "lingerie" means undergarments, like in English, but it also refers to the place where laundry is put away, so maybe when they named it "eau de lingerie", they didn’t want to evoke the sexiness of undergarments, but rather the comforting smell of a place full of fresh laundry, like how it reminds of childhood…? I haven’t researched the name behind it or anything, just thought I’d throw in my two cents 😉
