OMG please do more of these formats with like ranking your top gourmands, musks, florals, etc! love the vid🤍🤍🤍

[@perfumerism]

I would love to!!

Agreed!

[@akakasad]

yes I agree!!! more videos of this format please!!! I loved this video and found it so helpful, thank you for your hard work!!!

[@kissland1530]

would LOVE an iris themed video!! I am so obsessed with fragrances that have iris in them!!

[@perfumerism]

Ouuu maybe! I am not as big of an iris fan so idk if I am the best person for this, but I will look through my collection and see what I have!

[@schmorbraten7594]

@@perfumerism My iris favs are Prada L' Homme and Molecule 01+Iris.

[@strawberryinsomnia9188]

Iris Silver Mist is THE iris. Prada Infusion d’Iris is a nice fresh iris, and Hermes Hiris is a very very clean iris, and both of them are lovely (though of course ISM is in a league of its own).

[@regaljones7303]

I hope you do more videos like this and make it a series please. Categories you can try are safe blind buys, gourmand, fall/winter, fruity, sophisticated, sultry, niche, gate keeps, oldies but goodies, or 10/10 high performing non synthetic perfumes! 🤗 Hope this helps and congrats on 21k! 🎉

[@DoloresAdi-gp3xg]

If this doesn’t end up being one of your most popular videos of all time I will eat my shoe. Loved every minute of it and I hope you do more in this series ❤

[@perfumerism]

Thank you so much! This is such a kind comment 💗

[@purplew93]

Britney Spears Fantasy was reformulated! I wore it through middle school and early high school (2006-2009) and it was so gourmand and richly sweet. I recently sniffed a new bottle and was shocked and how it smelled like fruity shampoo - something has changed!

[@perfumerism]

Interesting!!! That’s good to know since I find it SO fruity! I want to try the original now

[@ChelseaLeAnne]

Yes! I loved this one years and years ago, but now it’s a no!

[@vunne9110]

Yes if your bottle doesn't have actual rhinestones around the top, it's been reformulated!

[@shandel499]

I still have my original Brit perfume, it was the teal squat bottle. Reminded me of a Genie's bottle. I still have juice left too. It is a core memory frag from my teen years for sure!

[@claudinecam]

This would make sense… I recently bought a bottle since it was cheap and had some past hype and I was like 😝

[@crisp_apple_strudel]

I love this format, and to hear your comments. Would adore one on rose perfumes

[@perfumerism]

Coming soon!💗

[@fhoeflich]

Ditto on a rose perfumes video, and please include Victoria Secret Bare Rose, Diptyque Eau Rose (rich red rose for women of substance) and Diptyque L'ombre dans l'Eau (supposedly blackcurrant and berries, but I always pick up frisky green rose fractions in it - freshly magnificent!).

[@user-ok5ko2em4k]

[@greenlean8890]

This was incredibly helpful! I love vanilla fragrances and now have many more to try. Please do more rankings like this! I’d love to see a summer ranking first (since I’m looking for summer frags right now). As well as a gourmand ranking, musk ranking, fruity, floral, autumn, winter, clean scent ranking, etc!

[@helgacucumber3871]

I tried Induit Tihota because of you and thanks a lot, now I'm obsessed and I have to find the money for it. I get this sharp vanilla vodka note in a lot of vanilla fragrances, even after the drydown. It's not an alcohol smell but it's similar. It drives me nuts and I notice it in most vanilla fragrances these days. I've been a vanilla girlie for a long time so I don't know what has changed but Tihota is an exception! I appreciate the recommendation even if my wallet does not.

[@perfumerism]

YESSS it’s so good but SOOO pricey!!

[@fhoeflich]

If it's that exceptional and that expensive a vanilla, some house out there might be duping it by now. Does anyone here know? I won't be able to help explain the alcohol-ish smell until I can get my own nose onto it. I'm still an apprentice perfumer but it might just be a commonly-used accompanying note, not necessarily the vanilla itself, and I might be able to tag it.

[@BLARG09]

Try outremer vanille. It's super cheap and smells almost identical. You can spray as much as you want at that price.

[@BLARG09]

Apricot vanille by sud Pacifique also dries down to that, but starts with a yummy apricot. I wish the apricot lasted longer than a minute. That was the first one I noticed smelled similar.

[@BLARG09]

They sell outremer vanille at smallflower.

[@alicehan2228]

I’ve been WAITING for you to make this tier list! Love the video🤍✨

This is such an awesome way to categorize perfume. If you have the time, please do more of these types of reviews. for some reason the visual ranking is more helpful on deciding what I’d like to try.

[@catherinericketts7997]

This was great! Saved me from buying a couple fragrances that I wasn't too sure about. Glad to know someone else thought the same!

[@nataliesargent8405]

This was so helpful. Can you do the same ranking for rose perfumes? For anyone reading this the nest vanilla fragrance is pretty but strong very nostalgic to me but for me it kinda goes very old lady at a retirement or funeral home to me.

[@mw5425]

As a vanilla lover, this was so helpful! I think we have similar taste so I’m stoked to try some of your recs. 😊

[@loriboo1]

I love your videos sm. The way you describe fragrances is so beautiful! Can you do a video of budget-friendly perfumes??

[@perfumerism]

I absolutely can!

[@gracob]

love your content, this was a fun format and very informative! (as a vanilla-curious man). Of these I only own vanilla vibes which I enjoy for its beachiness and cause it's kind of simple can layer well with other stuff if the mood takes you Got to look into that amorre cafe though

[@Ellietomlinson]

You actually influenced me to save up for some of these perfumes. I love the video💖

Just found your channel. Really enjoying it! And thanks for the heads-up about Wild Vanilla Orchid. Don’t have Poets of Berlin cash so this is great!!!

[@jackivacha]

Bring all sorts of videos like this!!!

[@springmore]

Scarlet Poppy is my signature scent and has been for years, I feel so validated that you declared it a banger!

[@The_Cherokee_Gypsy]

I swear I loved Scarlett poppy until I started smelling play dough 😂 I then took it back haha

[@fever_1033.0]

I completely agree with you on your take on Silk Santal. It’s a nice scent, but nothing special, and I genuinely feel influencers that hype it as much as they do either got in PR and/or want to stay in the good graces of Kayali. Also, you should try Victorian Vanilla by Costal Carolina. An underrated vanilla gem. 😊

[@perfumerism]

Maybe! I received the Wedding fragrance in PR too:) However I just think people have different taste. It is really nice, however I just don’t see the need to promote something that is unavailable!

[@perfumerism]

I’ll look into Coastal Carolina, thank you!!

[@greenlean8890]

I’ve been wanting to try Victorian Vanilla & the peach scent from Coastal Carolina! How do you n find its different than other vanillas? Every (albeit few) review I’ve seen on Victorian Vanilla has been extremely brief and left me with more confusion.

[@popie98]

YEEEEEES 40 min of vanilla perfume speaking is what I'm here for THANK YOU and btw I'm french and the way you said 'crème vanille' was impeccable I thought you were french for a second lol

You're literally one of the prettiest people on KZbin

WHEEZING about your little rant on Jerome Epinette 😂 incredible

[@The_Cherokee_Gypsy]

This is a great idea/concept. I could really get into these. Frag head here. I’m always wanting to learn about fragrances, so this is definitely something I would enjoy watching. You could do different categories. Yea. I dig it!!

[@perfumerism]

Pardon?

[@pratyashabhattacharya5020]

@@perfumerism Hi, I meant your descriptions of the fragrances were on point, very relatable. 😊

[@MrsHoneydukes]

Love your channel and yessss a vanilla video ♥️ This is by far my favourite note as a concept, but I’ve realized I am extremely picky when it comes to actually liking the perfumes. I want them to be sweet but not nauseating, and I don’t like when there’s too much of something else going on. I recently fell head over heels in love with Tihota, which to me is by faaaaar the best vanilla out there, but the price is so stiff ! Every time I see that dent get bigger I die a little inside haha. In a very similar vibe (though a little cleaner with mimosa), I think you would really like Jovoy’s Fire at Will, but you may have already tested it ! And I’m so sad because I was completely sold on it, but Bianco Latte does not work at all on my skin, for some reason it smells really dusty 😢 I sprayed it on my wrist again just to be sure but nope, I like it but it doesn’t like me back 😂 For a very straightforward, a bit synthetic but really decent vanilla I would also recommend Vanille by Molinard. I spray this before bed and it really soothes me 😊

[@perfumerism]

I have not tried Fire At Will but you make me want to!! Jovoy has some amazing scents; I personally love Remember Me! And agreed that vanilla is a particular scent!

[@fhoeflich]

@@perfumerism Try Jovoy Musc Pallas when you get around to making your next musks video. I heard rabid hype but haven't got hold of a bottle myself yet. I don't know about Fire At Will yet, will try to sample it at least.

[@scentswagswoon]

Absolutely wonderful video. Interesting. Informative. Well thought out. Just excellent. I saved this video for future reference.

[@themakeupedit]

Can you do this for 50 most popular perfumes in general? Would love to see it

[@perfumerism]

I like that idea! It will be hard to decide a top 50 haha

[@ash_nobody7087]

I blind bought Infiniment Coty Paris Encore Une Fois because of Josephine from Jus De Rose and I don't regret it. It's like Bianco Latte...but if she was more grown up, elegant, sophisticated, and pulled together. I'm so glad I took the risk and bought it. 😊 Maybe give it a try!!!!!!

[@danielsutze]

Love this video, it reminds me that I need to get Tihota Indult.

[@EmpressScarletSmile]

GIRL im gonna need this kind of list for warm fruity florals. I smelled bare rose from Victoria secrets and i need it! I wonder what your thoughts on it are! ❤

[@scanlankim]

The vanilla orchid vs poets of Berlin thing is interesting to me. I sprayed one on each wrist and vanilla orchid definitely reads more fruity to me on opening and poets seems to dry down warmer and sweeter, making me prefer poets. Now I am wondering if I imagined that 😂

[@rachellynnbeauty5231]

Was scrolling to see if anyone had throughts on these specifically. I agree in that I also prefer Poets between the two and don't find them similar, though I need to run and try a side by side test. I'm wearing Orchid today and while it's okay, I'm very heavily considering a full bottle of Poets cause I love it so much!

[@scanlankim]

@@rachellynnbeauty5231 Glad it isn't just me! They definitely smell similar to me but somehow different too. It would be interesting to know the actual perfumers thoughts around the two. I wonder if there was something he didn't like about the vanilla orchid profile and poets was meant to be a better version. Definitely do a side by side.

I loved the scent of bianco latte, but I didn’t love how it smelled on me. It reminded me of a very plastic-y toffee I used to eat as a kid. Nostalgic, but not really in a good way… it just bought a tester of Lira a few days ago, I can’t wait to test it. My own favorite vanilla perfume is A poem a day from &other stories, it’s cheap and I really love the smell. It starts a bit woody and (on me) it dries down like fresh Belgian waffles with powdered sugar.

[@FreshGrey-pm4vw]

How crazy....This is Her I could never smell on me! I sold it finally since I couldnt get the hype.

So glad you liked the video! Good idea on those 2 frags, Would have loved to include them!!

[@schmorbraten7594]

Hi Emma! I have two recommendations for you: Angelique Noir by Guerlain - only very slightly green/balsamic/herby from the Angelique in the opening, but mainly Guerlain's incredible, deep, warm, photorealistic vanilla pod flavour. The other one is Suki Essence by Weil - I normally don't like any combination of Vanilla/Gourmand with fresh/citrus scents, but the bergamot in this one is very discreet, and the vanilla is at the same time light, airy but also has a strong sillage and lasts until at least the next day. Would LOOOVE to know your thoughts on this! I'm learning so much from you. 🌺🌺🌺

[@NoahWJP]

I love noses ! 😝For fun, if i could pick one of you tops and bottoms to switch spots (don't hate me people), i'd pop YSL Libre down for me - i love this on other people, but on my skin I smell like a dumpster fire literally. I would then pull Philosophy Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere up - i surprisingly get an amazing lasting power on this on my skin, out of my cheapies, designer, niche perfumes, its one of my top 5 favorites, and one of my highest complimented. I smell like if french vanilla ice cream could be caramelized 😂 Love the vids !!

[@liliznotatnikiem6755]

Love your review, do you know more fragrances with vervaine in it? I loved L’Occitane and aqua Colonia Forte but the list seems quite short. I’d definitely watch a video like this but with Jasmin
