REVIEWING DIOR BOIS D'ARGENT VS. BOIS D'IRIS BY Van Cleef & Arpels

[@uncommon_scents]

I think it's safe to say your hair game is tops in the community. Dang Yana

[@mightystrong5484]

Lol 😂 it's very safe to say! Go check out her video on her hair routine 😉

[@TheScented]

Thank you so much! ❤️ 😘

[@ritz_essence1547]

Yup I agree!

[@zakia484]

Van Cleef and Arpels perfumes are underrated. They deserve more love for the quality they provide. Classy and overall non-cloying, decent longevity, and good price point.

[@TheScented]

Yes, I completely agree!

[@leeyah87]

Great comparison video! I love Bois d'Iris 💕🥰 It's actually my SOTD 😊 It's soft, subtly sweet, and woody. I find it to be unisex, but leans slightly feminine. It lasts 6-8 hours on me, but I wish it projected more. I agree that it has a cool and crisp feel and for that reason I enjoy wearing it in warmer weather.

[@angelacperfumes889]

I love honey notes paired with something woody/heavyier in the back! Van Cleef & Arpels is one of my favorite houses!!!

[@virgi28]

Me too!!! Bois Doré, Bois d'Iris and Orchidé Vanille are amazing! Just ordered California Rêverie!!! Have you tried Santal Blanc? Wondering how it is... very few reviews.

[@RichMitch]

I've got a 450ml of pre reformulation Bois D'Argent, absolutely love it

[@TheScented]

Lucky you!! ❤️

[@tanyabaelyse3845]

Wow okay that Bois Argent sounds incredible and bougie. I enjoy this series. Toay's sotd is Almond Cookie edt by Carol's Daughter and I am in love

[@jasontee6131]

If you consider the price per milliliter they're not that far apart in overall price. I bought bois d'iris for 110 discounted for 75ml and i paid around 240 for 125ml for the dior prives i own. Btw if you recheck your bottle of bois d'iris you'll see its a 75ml as well. I really enjoyed this video..Well done!

[@knics33]

Love this series! I desperately want to give Dior’s higher end a try... but I’m just too stingy lol. As I get older, I just love iris as well as other purple flowers... so comforting and clean. I would love to see how you store your collection/an overview collection video. It makes sense that you are an interior designer... your living room is gorgeous! Thanks for posting xo

[@TheScented]

Okay, I can definitely show my perfume storage 😊 I'm in the process of updating my bedroom right now, so maybe I'll do a video tour and include my perfume storage!

[@knics33]

@@TheScented that would be awesome! As my collection grows, I’m always thinking of ways to store that don’t drive me crazy lol.

[@miles-178]

havin´ Bois d´Iris and love whole Collection Extraordinaire .... it´s smooth, soft, not overpowering, easily wearable and niché quality for a nice price .... you motivated me to spray it on a coat today :)

[@missblackwood]

Sounds like an interesting series 👍👍

[@anitaandrews7249]

Loving it! Going to be all in on your new way to review and compare fragrances. Got my full a attention girl!

[@mnlewis]

Great video, Yana! I love the idea of bougie vs budget videos! Looking forward to seeing more!😊

[@perfumedangle6600]

Love how you got distracted by the cap sniff from Dior 😉 I will wear one of these today... but which one nobody knows?! Bois D'argent is like a crisp white shirt that anyone can wear. I agree its not a big projector but more of a trail and breeze. Earlier editions were mega and I my first try of it was from a sample and they were beast modes. Shame but still beautiful

[@virgi28]

Thank you for the comparaison! I have tried Bois d'Argent and found it a little masculine. Just order Bois d'Iris! Can't wait to compare. Thank you for sharing!!!😘

[@kasiagirl4708]

Hello beautiful Yana! I was so excited to see this video up. I’ve been trying to decide on the fragrances you are talking about. Now time to purchase. Thank you for the great info❤️🌹❤️

[@TheScented]

🥰❤️ Which one are you going for? I'm so excited for your purchase! Lol I haven't been buying much recently so I'll live vicariously through you!

[@SgtG3]

I have the Bois D' Argent. But definitely looking forward to try the Van Cleef and Arpels 😎😜 Great review😏

[@miryamdev764]

I love this idea!! ❤️

[@melg8475]

hey girl! this is random but I was on fragrance net and found Nina ricci rose absolu today! I have been trying to get my hands on this for moonnntthhhsss! I needed to tell someone and you and you're recommendation on it was a major influence to me!

[@justaddlight]

Thanks Yana! Had to look up 'budget' in the dictionary just to be sure. 😵 No dollar amounts, so we're good. 🤣 Bois d'iris a great scent!

[@franckyzampa9985]

Les 2 sont incroyables ❣️

[@CK1da]

Enjoyed this. I love Bois D'Argent and have been wanting to try Bois D'Iris as well so, much appreciated. Another 1 from VC&A I wanna try is Bois Dore which I have heard is similar to Le Labo Tonka 25, haven't tried either so idk for sure. Thanks. - Colin

[@TheScented]

I'm very interested in trying bois Dore! I only have the fragrance oil for now, but I'm curious to see how it compares. I haven't tried Tonka 25, so I'll be adding that to the list if I like the OG bois Dore

[@ritz_essence1547]

So excited for more episodes of this series.

[@laetileroutier9554]

I adore Bois d'Iris, never smell Bois d'argent, but the "collection extraordinaire by Van Cleef & Arpels is one of my favorite line, Bois d'amande, Bois doré, Ambre impériale, Orchidée vanille, Rose rouge, Gardénia pétale and California dream are so beautiful

[@TooLittleInfo]

I really love the Van Cleef line, I've tried most of them and imo they are pretty underhyped! Bois d'Iris was the first bottle that I picked up, and then California Reverie, which is a gorgeous, very natural smelling airy neroli-jasmine-beeswax. I believe they are 75 ml though, not 100 ml. I could see myself picking up bottles of the Orchidee Vanille and Rose Rouge as well, and possibly Bois Dore too

[@bourlandlaurent3074]

Bonjour super vidéo même si le bois d'Iris sent super bon, je conseil le bois d'argent c'est un parfum magique

[@lilyjane1011]

Il a été reformulé.... Ce n'est plus le même. Ils ne se font pas chi*r chez Dior.,

[@isabelallard2674]

Great concept! Can't wait for the next one! 😊🧚

[@dajuice7030]

I have a huge bottle of original formulation of Boy Da Gent (as I call it) it’s my favorite Iris of all time and the reason I don’t wear Dior Homme. Hate to hear the new formulations aren’t good. Love the video as always. Thanks

[@soniamartin2729]

Súper helpful! I was thinking in buying Bois d’argent and now I’m sure!

[@kasiagirl4708]

Yana, I would love to see more of these comparison videos! I watched this video 3 times listening to everything you had to say about each one before I made my final decision. I’m going to go for Bois D’Iris by Van Cleef and Arpels. This wasn’t a easy decision but I feel it is the one for me. Have a wonderful weekend beautiful lady and stay safe😊❤️🌹❤️

[@TheScented]

I hope I explained the fragrance breakdown well and that you'll enjoy bois d'iris! ❤️ Have a great weekend! 🤗

[@almatoledo1608]

This is a well done comparison which I appreciate! Would you have a similar presentation for La Perla Possibilities? Anything similar? Have q good week-end. 🎉

[@GoodDaySir]

Bois D’Iris is great, wonderful sweetness with an airy quality. Personally I prefer it and on a woman especially than BR540. Really like most of that VC&A Collection Extraordinare range its great value, Bois Dore being my favourite.

[@Nochefairy]

Love this Video Idea!! BTW blind bought la petite robe niore eau fraiche! Got it today and I love it!!! Thanks so much!!

[@TheScented]

Oh yay!! ❤️ I'm so happy to hear that! 🤗

Perfect ! I was thinking of gettinf Bois D Iris from VCA 🤍

[@deannakent6804]

Hi hi 💗 New subscriber! I love to smell good too👑 Great to hear your comparison of these. Would love to get my nose on both of them. A few of my favorites Majenty Hidden Cove, L'artisan Parfumeur Mure et Musc, This is Her Zadig&Voltaire, Bootzie, Almond Cookie Carol's Daughter, Bagatelle deGabrielle Omorovicza, TerraNova Rain, Penhaligons Blenheim Bouquet, Zents Sun, Carnival Wax Teaflower, Tsi-La Fiori D’Arancio (As you can tell...I am obsessed with perfume)

[@TheScented]

Welcome! 🤗 Wow that's a fantastic list! A few I haven't tried in there... I've added them to my list. Thanks for the recommendations!

[@gatuquita1]

I’ll be waiting for every video of this series, I own Bois D’Argent and I love it but longevity is an issue for me because is not easy to carry that heavy bottle to reapply. I always enjoy your videos 🥰🥰🥰

[@TheScented]

Haha yes, that bottle is not portable 😂 Luckily the Dior rep was kind enough to also throw in a 7.5ml mini for me

[@sfzombie2473]

Love your choices 🤗

[@PREPFORIT]

Thank you for the honest comparisons and notes.

[@accesstotheredcarpet]

I’ve never tried the Van Cleef & Arpels house. Yes love clean woody scents but more on the feminine side. Sounds lovely. I just found Herb and Sea Salt by DUA that is a dupe of Jo Malone Wood & Sage and heard it is way way better than the Jo Malone one. DUA is affordable and high quality. Worth checking out.

[@TheScented]

Thanks for the tip! I'll get on it once my oil runs out

[@elnina7]

Look forward to more comparison videos in this series. Glad you're not using dupes.

[@claritywithdiamonds]

Yana i'so glad i found you!!I got black platinum because of you and i really love it!! Can you do a comparison between gypsy water byredo and colette by tocca!!kisses from Greece!!

[@TheScented]

Absolutely! 🥰 I will be doing more men's content as I go. A lot of the time it's blended but I'll try to make more dedicated men's videos. In the meantime, I have all my men's videos organized into a playlist, not sure if you found it but it's in the playlists tab on my channel 😊

Lovely video Yana❤. It is only my nose or Bois d’Iris is pretty close to LoubiRouge?!?

[@TheScented]

It definitely is close!

I never heard of the VCA scent. It does interest me at that price point I just wished it were more masculine.

Awesome maam

[@erics670]

Love Bois D'Argent! Lasts all day!

[@ojpats4pats184]

I hate dupe videos, but I really enjoyed this idea because it's not a dupe video. I do not like leather notes, so I'm reluctant to try Bois D'Argent. Can you review The Chronic by Bryon Parfums? I don't like leather, but the leather note in that perfume doesn't bother. I actually like that perfume. I need you to tell me if the leather note in Bois D'Argent is similar to the leather note in The Chronic. Love your content.

[@TheScented]

Honestly I don't get much leather from Bois d'argent, it's very subtle... But then again I am a fan of leather so maybe it seems soft to my nose

[@maks1m252]

Hi. Dior Homme Parfum or Dior Bois d'Argent? Which one would you like to see on a man?

[@icarlins]

I would love to see aventus for her , I crave for a budget, never found anything like it

[@TheScented]

That's a great one! I have the oil version from oil Perfumery and it smells very close. I also find it super long lasting

You beat me to it. 😣. I was going to send you coffee $ to purchase Bois de Argent. I've know you have wanted it for some time. Yes. It is necessary. I will have to find another fragrance. Sure do wish it lasted on your skin longer for you. I have dialed all my social media back. It was making me not me. Finally I know what you do for work. That's awesome. I can see you being a fantastic person to work with on interior designs. Funny thing interior design related. Gradually we are getting our downstairs living room finish. My wife's office is down there. I got an Antelope mount from chest up from someone. While she was gone my son and I hung it above her computer. 😂. She didn't think it was funny. The downstairs is mine to decorate though. So she had to except it. 😄. Have a great night and sorry for the long msg. Had to share that though.

Thanks Dan, that's so kind of you! Yes I did beat you to it lol but I'll never stop buying fragrance... There's always something on the wishlist 🤭 I know exactly what you mean about social media, it gives me anxiety sometimes so I've started picking days/times when I let myself catch up and put it away the rest of the time. 😂 The antelope Mount....omggg hahaha

the big difference to me is that the iris is none existing in the dior to my nose & on the van cleef while light it is noticable

Yeah you're right, the iris note is more present in the Bois D'iris

[@nola-baissa2433]

The price per ml is then the same? 100 ml vs 400 ml bottle?
