YES!! 💯

[@serenamoonxo]

[@emwills4935]

i’d even love a more general ~creamy~ scent tier list

[@leilac.7207]

Doubling down on this !!!

[@nate7081]

tea please! i’m not a gourmand fan actually, they tend to be too sweet for me, but i’m on the hunt for my perfect, ultra-realistic tea scent and i’d love your recs!

[@lilianal410]

one more vote for tea pls^^!

[@fcelkam]

My favourite tea is Dear Polly. It's magical to me. Absolutely breathtaking. My mom fell in love with it too. But it is also very sweet in the dry down so might not be your fave. I also really love Princess, but that's borderline gourmand.

[@tillie4766]

thisss

[@maizymeredith9851]

Try Elizabeth Arden white tea, molecule 01+Tea, Arielle Shoshana Monday, and Gris Charnel! Those are my favorite tea scents. Molecule 01 + Tea is the most basic “just tea” one out of this group. It’s a pretty sweetened black tea

[@lilianal410]

@@maizymeredith9851 I’ve heard Gris Charnel is soo popular but some say it’s more masc leaning :/ is it true?

[@deannehail]

ohhhh!! a series of what the characters would wear! like, what would serena van der woodsen would wear 🙈🙈 eitherway, we love a long video from youuu !!

[@wilterfilho]

Need a rose tier list, I’m always on the lookout for rose fragrances 💕

[@LazyLoonLazarus]

So glad gourmands won, unintentionally they tend to be my favorite! Even tho I'm literally a minute in ik I'm already obsessed

[@xcreator_]

Would love for you to do a coffee scent tier-list Haven't come across many fragrances with prominent coffee notes other than the obvious MM Replica Coffee Break, Polo Red Extreme, Halloween X, Black Opium, Intense Cafe & Xerjoff Uden

[@sweetpeace5]

Coffee Addict Caffe Amore

[@chelseyschlutereichen9009]

Gossip Girl is a comfort show for me. I rewatch it during hard times of life. Also, thank you so much for creating chapters in this video. I know that's labor-intensive, but makes viewing so much better!

[@perfumerism]

Thank you! It wasn’t a lot of work compared to the editing!!💗 I really appreciate you for the acknowledgement!!

[@adabunny5212]

The theodoros kalotinis part was so funny to me!!! pear gelato goes for 45 bucks on the official website!!!! his gourmand scents are known foe the affordability. NOT 200 I PROMISE. great video btw❤❤🎉

[@perfumerism]

Yes absolutely !!! I totally mixed them up with someone else, thank u for pointing this out!!

[@sweetpeace5]

Not entirely true. He has a higher end line that’s pricey which is what the TK Creme Brulee scent mentioned here is & costs $165

[@adabunny5212]

@sweetpeace5 I was specifically talking about the EDP range which is famously all 45 euro!! she also said this while talking about pear gelato hence me pointing it out 💗🫶

[@knackattack5909]

I would love a tea perfume series!!! I don’t know much about them but I think I’d love so your help would be greatly appreciated.

[@teresaalvarez6108]

I would love to see a caramel, marshmallow , milk tier list. 🤔 I love this long videos

[@lilyz4831]

Ah your vanilla ranking video is one of my favs, so this perfect ❤

[@ZhaneAntionette]

Gourmands are my favorite categories of perfumes!! Lets see what made the list 😍😍

[@potatoavocado9933]

OMG SHES BACK ❤❤❤ Also did you hear Snoop Doggs signature scent is Delina from Parfums De Marly he’s such an icon

[@yt.curran]

Real ones will know she replaced speaks to my soul and tells a good story

[@perfumerism]

you know me so well✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼

[@fcelkam]

I was so on fence about Vanilla woods, but now it's turning darker and it's better and better. I am kinda sad I'm running out. But my hack for not overconsuming is just let it run out and repurchase it only if some time passes and you're still thinking about it. If you forget, great, one more perfume you don't have to own😂

[@cindy-741]

I LOVE THESE LONG VIDEOS!!!! 😭😭❤️❤️❤️

Girl I'm so glad I found your channel ☺️ I've been binge-watching your videos and you make the best fragrance content! I ordered 3 new fragrances based on your reviews and recommendations, I'm so excited to sniff them. Especially excited for Lattafa Eclair. I would LOVE more tier-ranking videos. I need a milk/cream ranking, nutty ranking, skin scents ranking, ambery ranking, and a fruity/juicy ranking 😍

[@Aditi_Singh_rrw]

Can you do a top 10 floral one ? Pretty please 😮😮

[@CPea91]

I was so excited to see I got a shout out on screen 😂💛 I am locking in

[@perfumerism]

LOL thank you for requesting this!!!

[@Iloverarebeauty]

Can we get a chocolate fragrance tier list? I love chocolate in perfumes and only recently discovered some perfumes with a strong chocolate note!

[@ItzSydney]

Hey Emma! Been watching your TikTok’s for forever and just a few months ago discovered your KZbin 🩷 As for Le Labo the names of the fragrances are its primary essence and the number is how many ingredients(notes) it has. The main essence of Thé Matcha 26 is a matcha green tea accord, of course accompanied by 25 other ingredients which is why that fig note really comes through. Amazing scent but yes not having a strong matcha scent that most people expect. Le Labo scents aim to be shockingly new but somehow familiar. I hope this doesn’t deter you from trying more of them!

[@schmorbraten7594]

Spruce shoots are also edible, in spring when they're bright green and still soft, when they haven't become woody yet. But I recommend spitting them out after chewing on them for a bit. They taste a bit like a lemon chewing gum, quite tart, and you can make lemonade out of them (you need A LOT).

[@chimbukachibangulula5635]

Aww you're such a sweet person. I love your channel ❤

[@angelinas5080]

I WOULD LOVEEE A FRUITY VIDEO !!

[@sseraf]

i giggled at the part about thé matcha 26 😭😭 i totally agree with you, its actually my warm-weather signature scent but its 100% citrusy-fig clean powdery soapiness to me. i guess the matcha adds a subtle powdery greenness to the perfume but i could never pick out "MATCHA" as the main note and i wear it all the time!! people who say it reminds them of a matcha latte have to be lying...

[@maxgarcia1454]

I'd love to see a milk perfumes or a woody perfumes tier list! Also, I think people who absolutely love Cheirosa 62 don't like 71 as much, and vice versa. To me 71 is THE fresh baked cookies smell. I sigh every time I smell it, it's sooo cozy. When I tried 62 I just wasn't as impressed. I wonder if it has to do with liking summer more vs winter? I'm stuck in a hot climate almost all year so when I can wear warm gourmands, it's like a special treat. Maybe it's similar for people living in cold places with summery scents?

[@misssunnydee]

We usually rarely have summer here, but when it gets warm it's always this sticky, humid, heavy heat. Definitely not gourmand weather. This summer has definitely been present and as I'm not a citrus lover or light scent-favourer (like the ones all below), I started to hate the fact I can't wear my gourmands. Until I bought Paris Corner Qissa Delicious. It's the perfect summer gourmand as it's smooth and very light. Unlike most edible accord fragrances. It has the effect of having your body rubbed in a scented oil, or smearing a fragranced body cream. Thàt softer effect. It's like a lightly sweetened creamy perfume with a touch of orange, and a drizzle of chocolate hugged by a vanillic white musk. Top notes: dark chocolate, orange and whipped cream. Middle notes: coconut, marshmallow and jasmine. Base notes: vanilla, soft wood and white musk. Based on the pyramid you expect something supersweet and strong. With Paris Corner that IS a possibility once it's older. It's like they almost never let half of their perfumes macerate, so after maturing it in your own closet it's suddenly a different fragrance the next season. I had the same with Forbidden Sugar, which happens to be a dupe of Franc Boclet's "Sugar". Used to be a barely there scent. Now it's a great gourmand imho. Not a safe blind buy, though. Qissa isn't a dupe as far as I know. The longevity is disappointing atm - though that improves always - if you have very dry skin like me, but I really like the scent for warm weather. It's also really nice layered with Alien Goddess Intense and a few other floral gourmands. The white musk, vanilla, a bit of whipped cream, some soft wood, the orange and a touch of jasmin make the fragrance. The drizzle of milkchocolate doesn't remain on me. But it's nice in the opening. Regardless of its 'deficiencies' I'm still very happy with this purchase. The scent makes me happy. It's very cozy without getting that "crawling under thick blankets" feel. If interested: do not spend over €30. I also like Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato for summer. Or should I say its inspirations 😂. I have Alive by Lattafa ( Pride II line), but the Khair Pistachio by - again - Paris Corner is my favourite. This one was great from the beginning, though honestly I got a 10ml decant as I already own the Lattafa. But once Alive is finished I'll get Khair Pistachio! I love the combination of white florals with soft gourmand notes. It makes it wearable in warmer weather, when it's not too hot. When tropical I either wear nothing but deodorant, or a very light citrussy floral or other light floral perfumes. Think Chanel-Chance eau Tendre, Swiss Arabian- Hamsah, Jo Malone- Saffron and Orange Flowers, Lattafa-Awaan, or Chloe-Chloe/ Diane Castel-Rose d'Artiste. Anyway, just wanted to share this tip. The rest of the info is to see if we have similar scent taste. That helps ;).

[@mnop1774]

Loved this and I adore Tihota too! I bought it early in my perfume discovery and it's one I never want to be without. Top 3 forever.

First off, I was hoping to see your take on Sweet Farewell by Strangers Parfumerie. It’s so unique and so divine. Second, I’m sad you have to have instagram to be in the giveaway! I don’t have much social media presence and I generally stick with YT so hoping for a YT giveaway soon. Third, I’m so glad someone finally said what needed to be said about This is Her! Again. Keep saying it. Please.

[@IsabellaBoyne]

I would love a tea perfume (like everyone else has said) or honey perfume video! Your videos are just getting better and betterrrr

[@aesfheticssss2606]

I love goirmand specially creamy vanilla and caramels ❤

[@sus-zk8ux]

i love these type of videos, keep making them! I would love to see a coconut or tea version💞

[@irynavoronyak2854]

I really like "this is her" perfume and to me it's a better, more sophisticated version of "milk". Milk perfume literally smells like spoiled milk on me after a bit. This just shows how different perfume taste and body chemistry works.

[@robinspencer9611]

I have 4 Theordoros Kalotinis perfumes and I believe they're around 55 US dollars . They do have few in the 150$ range but generally it is very budget friendly . I am loving Lemon Tart this summer!

[@YouRemindMeOfTheCrepe]

Yes please on the matcha/green tea ranking!! Black tea is great too, but I can't get enough matcha. Have you tried Match Made in Heaven by Sorce? It's a lovely matcha ice cream scent. Kilian Princess is my #1 of all time and I really liked my decant of Matcha Meditation. I would love to hear your top picks! 🍵 Thanks for the heads up on Le Labo...it's on my list to try but I don't like fig, so it's coming right off 🙃

[@minmindlib1776]

[@natepb]

this is amazingggg emma! always love your videos esp in this format! i'd love to hear u talk about some kerosene fragrances if you've smelled enough! i feel like you'd love Sweetly Known! Also TV rec: Girls on HBO with Lena Dunham it's hilarious and so well made. Thanks again! xx

[@flowerchild-44]

Baguette on a haystack 😂 I love your videos ❤

[@neapealingonsmet]

Dulce is not a dupe for Bianco Latte! To me Bianco Latte is a "warm" condensed milk caramel honey-scent. Dulce is a "cold" chocolate vanilla ice cream type fragrance.

[@eviesinkworld938]

[@rowurboat1819]

[@j_constance]

Emma, you MUST must must try Tom Ford's Vanille Fatale, if you haven't already?? I don't like Tom Ford fragrances but dear lord this very good, warm dry rich vanilla with a hint of wood and coffee (only slight). If I could describe this fragrance in one word it would be something like "mahogany".

[@tommasocervini5205]

[@Kbaltrush]

Cannot wait for the tea video! More and more I find the perfumes I love best have a prominent tea note - Libe edt, matcha meditation, grid charnel, windows down, blue Madeleine - really looking for even more

Also, would you be able to make a video on the science behind maceration? Such as, if fragrances should be expected to change over time (for better or for worse lol), if they eventually expire, and the overall lifespan of a fragrance? I’m super curious to know your thoughts on this

[@maizymeredith9851]

I still have the same hairbrush from when I was literally 7 years old and I am 23 now lol. It was one of those square conair jelly handle ones and the handle fell off heads ago so now I just use the brush part. It’s my favorite brush, it’s great for travel because it’s still a full size brush but takes up less space since there is no handle. I wash it every couple months and it’s still going strong!

[@notimportant123]

Have you tried Love & Crime by Ex Idolo?

[@perfumerism]

I LOVE IT

[@Shilohs05-gq6lk]

I just got Choclate greedy from tjmaxx and it did not smell like chocolate when I sprayed it, but I get more of orange 🍊 and dried fruits from it when I sprayed it. It smell terrible on me though.

[@monicachander8]

Please do a review of Afternoon Delight! 😊⭐️

[@jamjamxo7377]

i still have to get my nose on a lot of these, but i do agree with you on many i have smelled. first off: love your videos, appreciate your insight and happy to see you continue to grow ♥ hot takes: i really wish i could smell what everyone else is smelling in devotion because ALL i can smell is bug spray. even in the dry down, i can get a *hint* of vanilla, but mostly citronella. same with akro bake, i thought it would be a love, but it's just a screechy lemon pledge scent that never goes away. vanilla woods also smells identical to crown royal vanilla whiskey to me. which smells good, but not necessarily ideal to walk around smelling like liquor lol. would love to hear your thoughts on new releases!

[@ZhaneAntionette]

Try out matcha meditation! I used up my sample and I loooove it! It’s definitely giving matcha!

[@nima_33]

Love this video idea. Totally agree about Le Labo TheMatcha. I did not smell matcha. I like Matcha Meditation from Maison Margiela. I must defend Angel… the reformulation has a LOT of patchouli compared to the version from the 1990’s. Watch The Fragrantician, she talks about how the new version has so much more patchouli. In any case, if you let it macerate for a few years, it smells a lot better. Buy an old bottle!

[@missdancingfool]

Would absolutely love a tea scent tier list!!

[@valiumsurbanjungle2041]

A few months ago I went to a local shop where it mostly sells perfume oils and other perfume making ingredients (as well as all of the kalotinis' perfumes since he's Greek, which I usually like, but they don't last on me) and I found the most perfect oil, named "rice". Does it smell like rice?! Um... I don't think so, but I've been in love ever since and I've already used up my 3,5 10ml vials, but I'll be getting more soon. It's perfect for layering and as a stand alone, if I could only have one perfume, that would probably be it. I only wish it could come in a bigger bottle and/or in a spray version.

[@kanoi3082]

OMG tea list definitely yessss

[@teresaalvarez6108]

I would also like to see fall perfumes !

[@momgremlin]

PEAR PERFUME RANKING PLEASE

[@MsMacBeauty02]

Can you do floral ranking list please ?!?

[@perfumerism]

That’s a huge category! It might be more digestible to split up by flowers like tuberose, neroli, etc

[@Jessinblackandwhite]

I could never wear Angel, but I grew up during the 90’s so it’s a bit nostalgic for me when I smell it on people.

[@kellyoneal1675]

[@fatima8188]

The fruity notes details was so interesting to me 😮

[@iweiss09]

It’s so interesting how our noses perceive scent so differently, I totally smell the Matcha in Thé Matcha 26, like a spongy Japanese matcha cake and please make a tea perfume video! Does Coffee Break from Margiela smell like London Fog? I need a trip to Sephora yo try that one!

[@sweetpeace5]

Coffee Break is discontinued but you can still find it for a short while. Big bottle at Sephora at the moment❤

[@ellenkno5233]

[@saladaddict]

Coconut! I have tried several that get mentioned in videos but still on the hunt for my ONE! 🥥🥥🥥🥥

[@gorob.chyk.]

Matcha from Le Labo smells like grass. I really love Margiela’s Replica version, it’s so warm and soothing 💚

[@notrealanymoretbh]

Matcha latte is not like regular matcha which smells more grassy, not creamy or milky. I tried matcha tea in Japan and it honestly smells like strong vegetables.

[@perfumerism]

yes! My favourite matcha scent is Un Ete from obvious parfums! it is a super earthy scent with mate notes.
