Sephora Favorite Perfumes... Deluxe Size Perfume Sampler Set Review + Thoughts | Lauren Mae Beauty

[@mizz_g0at]

I got this set with full intention of getting a full size of Golden Nectar, and ended up with a full-sized Clean Skin instead. This is why I like these sets, because sometimes you get something you might never have thought to try.

[@callierhodesoutlaw]

A switch flipped in my brain recently and got me super into fragrance, so I'm so excited that you make these videos! I've watched a lot of them in the past, but I *get it* now!

[@daw0518]

This is exactly me too! Idk what happened but suddenly I’m VERY into fragrance and so appreciate these vids!

[@GiNgErSnAp-bh7eq]

Got the sampler in store(for 20% off cuz rouge), opened the box and got the full size clean right there. I live 2 hours from sephora so...ya I kinda bought the sampler just to get a better price on the clean. I like all of them except Chloe. I can't stand rose.

[@mariahtownsend8636]

Thank you for mentioning the spray/lack thereof. Being able to spray a fragrance has become inexplicably essential to me! I was waiting for your video because you always include the tiny details I need!

[@noaaa7]

I hate that here in Canada we get all the Sephora Favorites sets EXCEPT for the perfumes ones. It’s unfair!

[@leah23h]

I saw it on the site for less than a day and then it was gone

[@freckledklutz]

Sephora Canada did have it but it sold out before I could check out which made me pissed as I didn't want to make impulse purchases. I was so sad as these kits are worth the money typically. And yeah it definitely then disappeared off the site :(

[@andreabelec7852]

I know. It sucks. Shoppers drug mart has a big one right now for 95$ and if you have PC optimum points, you can get it almost for free!

[@aliciakangaloo1074]

I picked this up and redeemed right away for the Gucci Flora which I have wanted for some time

[@robinlibby8388]

I did the non-deluxe vanilla one from February knowing I like replica By the Fireplace from a previous sample. Sill haven't gotten the full size yet, but I want the floral street wild vanilla orchid. Definitely realized I didn't like any of the really floral ones in there. Update: that nest golden nectar is a 100 point rewards item and it sounds really good to me, so I just redeemed the deal for my full size floral street wild vanilla orchid and got the nest one with points. Honestly for how slowly I go through perfume, that deluxe sample will be plenty for me to enjoy it.

[@marieve5394]

I wanna say, I loooove your lamp!

[@twistedsoul019]

The mini perfume bottles are sooo cute!!

[@aryssamarie4310]

I absolutely love the way you describe the scents! I ordered the Gucci Flora because I LOVE the scent on my skin

[@kristipatterson9952]

Thanks, Lauren. 💗💗💗💗 I bought this sampler set the first day of the Insider sale and used one of your Sephora links to purchase. The perfume I'm most interested in is Skin by Clean Reserve (plus it's the largest bottle!!!). If I don't end up liking Skin, my backup perfume will be Black Opium as I don't have a full bottle. Then again, one of the others might blow me away.

[@saramasluk3206]

So glad you mentioned the similarities between the Gucci and Juicy. I was so close to buying the Gucci until I watched and realized that I like it because it’s so close to Viva la Juicy (which I have a huge bottle of). Money saved!

[@late_bloomer_1973]

I picked up the YSL black opium green and I love it! I really pick up the coffee and fig in it.

[@paintedannie]

fully pumped my arms when you said next up is the commodity video! i only own one of their fragrances but i'm intrigued by so many!

[@emilygreen4974]

Was looking forward to this as I just got the same set! Picked it up since I already was planning on getting the full size of clean skin but this was a way better deal especially during the sale!

[@lct11]

Been checking in all day looking for this review from you 🙌 can't wait to see if this is right for me ✨

[@katanabluebird]

Canada never has these and it makes me so sad :(

[@LizzaLee]

It's the last day of the sale, so I ordered the set today and it's waiting for me to pick it up. I'll have to rewatch the video after I get out to get it!

[@alexkasper5029]

i'm so surprised you hadn't tired skin before! i really want to try that one and i'm super psyched bc i just got radiant nectar as a perk point and i have really been wanting to try it. i already think nest has some of the prettiest bottles and they kinda outdid themselves with golden nectar, the gold accents make it stand out. you explained gorgeous gardenia perfectly, it is really nice but i feel like i've smelled it before. sooooooo excited for the commodity video next week!! :D

[@jenndaisy9650]

I also ordered this set during the sale. My fall back will be the the Gucci Flora. I need to try the Clean and the Versace some more, because I like both of those. Already have black opium.

[@allarab2612]

Yay I’m really looking forward to the commodity video!

[@lalajobo]

looking forward to the Commodity video! been a huge fan of theirs for many years!

[@tonyasullivan1164]

Literally waiting for this video to hit purchase on my Sephora card

[@JuSav12]

These perfume samplers don't tend to come up here to Canada, but I was able to get the Clean Skin sample as a point perk in my latest order, and I chose it on such a whim because "floral musk" did not sound good to me but the notes on fragrantica we're so all over the map that I got curious, and it turns out I fucking love it! It's feels kismet to hear you talking about how much you like on it on here like a week later. It's sweet and warm but also kind of muted and when I start to sniff it and I don't want to stop! A full sized bottle may be in my future. I can totally understand why it's their most popular scent. I'm so glad it's your fave too!

[@laurasince1986]

I recently found out that I looove the Gucci Flora gorgeous Gardenia, but it doesn't last a super long time on me. Love the smell for spring summer though!

[@khanhfident]

I love these sampler videos from you!

[@courtneylovesturtles]

Omg I got this too and was obsessed with the skin scent from Reserve also!

[@kholder88]

I love Skin! It's great on it's own but also layers really well with tons of things. Definitely getting this sampler just for the discount

[@tdsollog]

These sample sets are always a nice way to try different scents. I have and love Black Opium, so I probably would’ve gone for something for warmer weather… my cold weather collection is quite robust for a non-reviewer. Love from the spooky Pine Barrens in NJ

[@maryannmarino865]

Have you seen the Jersey Devil out there? Lol

[@caithenry8429]

Just put the sampler in my sephora loves list to return to after taking notes on this video. Love the way you describe scents!

[@graciegilchriest]

I can never take black opium seriously because in high school, my choir teacher always boasted about wearing it, but she’d always smell like waffles and syrup. The mean girls (who were seniors when I was a freshman) would pour syrup in her essssspensive music books. I felt so bad for her.😭

[@lollipopsfordays3610]

It’s crazy how strong scent memories are

[@heather1980]

You look gorg! I was so glad to see this Sunday Fragrance video go up! I love them. I just impulse purchased the KKW fig fragrance. It was 40% off . . . I love commodity! Can’t wait to watch!

[@rosie58843]

I bought this even though I already have all of them except for the Gucci and Nest and Chloe (I do have Roses de Chloe already though). I’m torn between the Gucci and Nest. I think I’m probably going to get the Gucci because I love the bottle so much! I wish they did another clean perfume sampler because I would have liked if they included the new Lotus Pear from the 7 Virtues and Sun Fruit by Ellis Brooklyn.

[@chrelainel5833]

I haven't received my order with this sampler yet. I have a bottle of Black Opium and I love the Nest fragrance, it's my backup if I don't like any others. Chloe is never a fave for me. I'm excited to try them all and see where I wind up!

[@tonyasullivan1164]

I want to try the Giorgio Armani little set the bottles are so cute

[@dianapacilio2729]

Nest is my absolute favorite perfume brand. I spent a half hour in my local sephora trying to choose a new one and settled on the poppy. If you can, you should try some of the new perfume oils; they come in new scents and the seville orange is amazing.

[@minzzier]

Have been looking forward to this video! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts.

[@celinawalker1226]

The Clean Reserve Skin is my all time favorite perfume. I have actually gone through an entire bottle of it which never happens with me.

[@thedarlinhearth]

I love these perfume videos 💗

[@dreamie9868]

I just got Skin as a 100 point perk and I really like it!

[@SwaggyBBeauty]

Haha for once I can "play along" I definitely think I'm going to choose the Clean perfume as well!

[@juliacarlucci2362]

Good advice about getting this set if you know there’s one for sure that you like (for me this was Clean Skin). I fell in LOVE with the gucci flora and nest golden nectar! Still deciding which one I’m gonna get but leaning towards the gucci. I was so nauseated by the Chloe one, I had to throw it out lol

[@katarinaserbentas]

I have both golden nectar and gorgeous gardenia. They are 2 of the best in my collection! Good choices.

[@julieboley7190]

Agree with many of these sampler scents being repeats. Wish they'd make a new releases set at least once a year. Before I got majorly into fragrances, though, these sets were pretty much the only way I bought fragrance. For me, it's worth buying 3ml or 5ml spray bottles on Amazon to decant minis into.

[@melp8175]

Stop the rollerball, stop it! Agree😅😅😅❤

[@parkerlynne]

I got that Clean Reserve with 100 pts when I got the Tropical sampler. I thought I was going to LOVE it but it just smells like overpowering thick vanilla to me :(. However, I did try Commodity and Hermetica on your recommendation and loved Paper and Source1! So I have bottles of those coming :)

[@kimmyball4961]

Great video 😍

[@jamiewarkentine7108]

We are all so different in our likes , because I received a sample of Clean Skin from Sephora and hated it . I though it was mediocre smelling shampoo scent . Perfume is so complicated , I thought I’d hate Cloud and I love it . My go to is Chanel Coco Mademoiselle .

[@jenndaisy9650]

I love that Nest scent, but it has no lasting power on my skin.

[@cvgsunset5844]

I think one of my favorite things about perfume is how a scent can transport you to a different place/time/vibe- that Dylan Turquoise takes me RIGHT back to southern France around 2008-2010. 😭✨🏝⛲️

[@Squamish0684]

I wish we had this at Sephora Canada!

[@daniellem905]

I was leaning toward Skin as well and of course now it’s out of stock online. 😂

[@loveatfirstknit]

I got this sampler too. The only 3 I’m interested in are the Gucci, Clean and Nest. Chloe smelled like a funeral home, couldn’t handle the Versace because it was too squeaky clean and reminded me of Cool Water Woman a boyfriend bought me in early 2000s that I wanted to love but got sick to my stomach every time I smelled it 🤣 I’ll give the Black Opium a try, I know so many love it… it’s just a bit too sexy for me if that makes sense. And I hate the Atelier. Literally smells like cat pee.

[@britbc4461]

The name Skin just gives me the heebie jeebies and I don't think I can ever like it. 🤣

[@Orchid_3456]

Is the atelier line not sold in the US anymore?

[@carolinemercer9779]

Nooo you’re making me want this sampler, I have way more perfume than I need already

[@kyliemaw1552]

does the atelier orange blossom smell like the jo malone one? cause i really like that one its just a little green for me

[@drsallymanderchoi]

brb buying this now

[@courtneycullen6289]

The black opium green is lovely (thanks Angelica), but I feel like regular black opium is a few nice sprays of a generic perfume. Not my pick for this collection!

[@katjones4840]

Flower bomb is my scent. But man i pretty much hate rose perfumes. Id go with black opium for sure out of these.

[@TheRichaLife]

Been waiting for this one! My wallet is bracing itself..

[@jenille08]

The Gucci perfume is probably reminding you of Ariana Grande Sweet Like Candy or Kate Spade EDP.

[@musicaljustin]

I love Gucci flora but its longevity is trash on me.

[@kathlo22]

I no would love to see you review 19-69 fragrances

[@petra1995]

I wish more perfumes were considered cruelty free. But then again, now I can't buy them so I guess I'm saving money 😅

[@sariefaerie1121]

Which Chloe perfume is it?

[@anasofiaacuna1129]

What candle are you burning?

[@moriganna67ify]

I love the perfume videos. I have tried Coconut Cove by Skyler and as I had said before, Vanilla Sky by Skyler and want to get these at some point. I love we can try it before purchase the full size. Also on a no buy as we are caring for my Princess Sakura (my feral cat is 16) as she has Kidney Failure stage 2 and poor girl is running all over when she pees on her pad, or poop, she runs from it and that is worse. LOL She is good for now. We have spent 609$ which hurts for money and fully worth it. She is an old gal like me. LOL

[@emilyruribe]

yay!! 😍

[@graceadams554]

The Gucci one is quite literally gorgeous but I feel like the lasting power is non existent 😂

[@maureenott214]

💖💖💖

[@donnamckeever1029]

💕💕

[@Allison-jj1vq]

Gardenia 🤮

[@darklausal23]

I dislike it too 😣
