SWEET WINTER PERFUMES THAT SMELL IRRESISTIBLE! + Dishing some fragrance dirt...

[@FidelisDeiFiliusAugustinus]

Yup scent bird is a joke, they do not have huge collection of fragrances, so limit, and their price is way too expensive. I rather buy decants from local resellers 🙈

[@pinkandpink4577]

I don't see many people in public wearing headbands. However, I just started wearing them myself and I love them. The fabric ones with a twist at the top are my favorite because the point really slims down my wide face. I've never thought about sweet fragrances for winter. I usually defer to clean cotton, my favorite being Clean Reserve in Warm Cotton. But I will take this as a self challenge and try some of my sweeter fragrances this year. I'm guessing you're a first time mommy. My kids are 18 and 21. I'm sure you are inundated with advice from everyone around you about how to be a mom. But what I can say is that, in these early years, it's a lot easier to accept that your world has changed and go with that flow instead of trying to fight it. This is a temporary time for you and it will pass and I've learned that I'd rather look back and say I did my best for my child rather than trying to apologize to everyone around me for my mommy life. What I'm trying to say is, this time of your life belongs to you and your child and not everyone else. Hope that helps some 😊

[@dulcespinelli]

I love the headbands, to me they look vintage-y and adorable 🥰🥰 As to gourmand fragrances, I do love eating sweet things, but I don't appreciate smelling like dessert, lol.

[@tiff67890]

I’ve always thought headbands were cute but sadly not many people wear them so I wouldn’t say it’s “in”, but I wear what makes me feel pretty/good

[@lisak2580]

I think headbands are cute. I was bald from skin cancer surgery on my head; headbands cover most of my scar and they’re getting me through an awkward hair stage. I just found your channel a few days ago, and I’m a huge fan. ❤

[@TheScented]

It's amazing that you beat cancer! 💪❤️ Welcome to the channel, I'm glad you found me 😊

Love you girl! You don’t pussy foot around stuff, you just call em as you see em! Thank you!!!

[@heidihunny4890]

Girl I have long hair and no baby and I am in a headband most days.....or a braid. It's functional and I think it's looks beautiful. I ended up deciding on the Elixir flanker based on your recommendation and I couldn't be happier!!

[@juliettirina6829]

Never heard about La Cautiva before.. It makes lot of sense since many Argentinians have Italian background. Btw, I love headbands.

[@sabrinayoung3822]

Oh my goodness! Thank you! Someone finally said it about scent bird! I agree with you 100%

[@TheScented]

I'm so glad you agree!!

Fellow headband lover here🙋‍♀️, definitely not out of style! They are a must have, especially in the super windy days

[@cmk9495]

Armani code is really perfection. Thanks for reminding me to start using my bottle more often this winter.

[@MurkaMurkovsky]

Yana, have you tried Rumeur by Lanvin? I can't understand it, I like it and I do not at the same time, would like to hear your opinion. The perfume is created by Francis Kurkdjan btw

[@TheScented]

I've been interested in trying it because it's by Francis Kurkdjian but something about the notes made me unsure. Maybe I'll blind buy it during the next sale

[@daniellemarino5247]

I love maissa destin des anges,i just got it along with narcotica dulce diablo alittle similar one has orange the other a beautiful apricot with cacao.i love le petie robe noir intense, i mix it with vanilla 28 and always get compliments.❤️👌

[@justaddlight]

Imo, any piece of clothing is cute if you're already cute. 😄 You've got nothing to worry about Yana. Still need to try that Intense version of LPRN! 💙🖤

[@yahainHotPink]

Loved this video Yana. And I love headbands. I use the full circle ones as decoration for when I wear my cornrow braids. They don't give me a headache or earache like traditional headbands do. 😁😁

[@marilynmcleod4907]

Your braid looks amazing! Very sophisticated and cute at the same time!

[@accesstotheredcarpet]

Love your sweater Yana! I have been on fragrance hiatus for awhile because my nose needed a big break. Been dealing with headaches and bouts of vertigo. Right now I’m looking for something softer and invigorating scent that I can feel comfortable and happy to wear. I think I’m going through hormonal changes due to my peri menopausal time so I’ve gotten more sensitive to certain notes in the fragrances. I’m ok with my Chanel fragrances with no issues but the others I kinda shy away from. I do love clean fragrances brands that I think I need to start exploring more. I love wearing SALT and SWEET by Ellis Brooklyn but they are best worn for Spring and Summer. Not sure what to get for winter. I love Commodity and Henry Rose as well. I don’t want to wear what everyone is wearing lol

[@TheScented]

Commodity is amazing! My favorite clean smelling, easy wearing scent from them is Rain 🥰 I've been reaching for it a lot lately

[@accesstotheredcarpet]

@@TheScented Love Rain. It’s very nice. I also love Rain from Clean Reserve and Jakes House from Henry Rose. They are all similar to each other. Now I can’t decide which one lol smh 🤦🏻‍♀️😂😂😂 Thanks Yana!

[@jackiesasfai4162]

Yep!! I rejoined Scentbird, they charged me 27.81 5 times in one visit. These are horribly priced, and it’s 10.00 extra dollars for a better scent. The ones everyone has access to are all the old ones or ones I’ve never heard of. Just dropped them again after the first visit and 130.00 later! I’m pissed as well!!

[@TheScented]

Daaaang that is terrible

[@juliannemoser1112]

Burberry Elixir is divine! Smelled it in Sephors, and can't wait to own it!

[@TheScented]

They're having 20% off right now :)

[@mamoni7703]

Love the braid! Thank you for sharing your lovely fragrance recommendations and your views on scent bird. I looked into their service a while back and it wasn’t for me, but it may be suitable for folks in more rural areas and less access to retail options. I’m happy to know you partner with people you feel comfortable with and don’t just go for anything that comes your way. I trust your judgement and have found my experiences of purchasing from Oakcha and Oil Perfumery positive and great value for money. So thank you!

[@truevine.houseplants]

Love the braid! Very Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider. Totally feel you about the baby pulling the hair! My youngest will be one on New Years Eve and that’s his FAVORITE pastime right now is eyeballing my hair and yanking it so hard he nearly pulls me to the floor 😂😂

[@TheScented]

They do give me a headache as well! I can't wear them for very long, I wasn't sure if it was just me

[@MJT66]

Thanks for the suggestions! I love Microperfumes and Surrender to Chance for decants as well.

[@vanydakhiev3910]

Yes! I love Microperfumes. Their travel sprays are a good size and I get a good feel for a fragrance before I decide to invest in a full bottle. I was able to test Mojave Ghost and learn that nope, my skin didn't like it.

[@hadesisbaby]

Microperfumes sells 10 ml for more than regular retail price 💀 try decant X, scent split, the fragrance decant boutique, scent decant and even max aroma. **sorry I meant they sell FIVE mL for more than the brands sell their own 10 mL, on quite a few of their scents. I did a whole ass comparison one day&realized what a joke some of their prices are.

[@vanydakhiev3910]

@@hadesisbaby I'll check those out! They have sales all the time and I wait for a good one. I live in the same state as the company so shipping is super fast and the service is really good.

[@TheScented]

I'm glad you love it! I'm new to the brand and will be discovering more soon 😊

[@celeste.430]

I was debating between ScentBox and ScentBird, ended up going with ScentBox as they are a local small business in SoCal. They have a waaaay better selection. They did recently raise their prices a bit but it’s still much more affordable for the “premium” scents versus the “Saks collection” that ScentBird has. The $10 markup is ridiculous 😑

[@CiCiGourmand]

"One of the lies I tell on a daily basis." LMFAO 🤣

[@kyndalpagan7545]

[@daphne6973]

You made me buy Armani Code Luna and Ioooooooooooove this! Such a great discovery for me. So underrated and sadly discontinued (lucky me to have found a truly well made dupe). I'm really considering to purchase a big bottle and make it my signature.. Thank you sooooo much!!

[@TheScented]

I'm so happy to hear that!! If you really love it I would recommend grabbing a back up for sure 😊

[@cate7199]

Scentbird used to have a great selection. I do not remember what made me switch to Scentbox, but I did. I have been a member for so long that I've tried all I want to. It was interesting running into this video today because just last night I decided to switch back because of this. I didn't go through with it. I never heard of so much of what they have now. Those really may be their best sellers because we've heard of those lol.

[@cate7199]

Hopefully they leave our girl alone now lol.

[@docp4449]

Headbands are 100% back. Unfortunately they fall off of my head and I can’t wear them lol but yess super in style rn

[@carolynwhite9975]

Totally agree about Scentbird; canceled it in three months. No regrets

[@yahainHotPink]

And Scent Bird is definitely cuter for people very green to trying perfumes. I tried it for 3 months a few years ago and lost interest because I had way more access to free perfume samples with greater variety. And 2 out of 3 of the travel size spray perfumes I bought from them were fails.

[@Julia-oy1cy]

Just paused to say you should look into those “Velcro hair pads”. While they look a bit silly, you can get them on Amazon and they will hold your baby hairs out of your face without pulling or discomfort ❤ I wear them around my baby niece

[@TheScented]

I love French braids but just can't do them on myself! 🙈

[@Its_me--Boo_Radley]

My Snif Santa Clause candles arrived today ... yummy! Thank you for the recommendation! I've been buying quite a few things from Microperfumes lately. They saved me from making a lot of bad blind buys. Also bought a few things from Zara, including Red Temptation which is supposed to be a Baccarat Rouge 540 dupe. I've come to the conclusion that that particular fragrance is just not good on my skin. The BR 540 is so faint that I can barely smell anything. But the Zara dupe was so bad I thought about taking a shower after spraying it just to get it off me.

[@trishhykes5574]

Is Her Elixir similar to the discontinued Si Fiori? I've heard similar descriptions but not a direct comparison!

[@katycanino1566]

Hi Yana, it's been a long time I don't say hello. The things that you're feeling are totally normal. Life has changed now for you; you're a mom. Now it's all about practicality. We become a short fuse for stupidity (as in the Scentbird case), and we put our children and our comfort first (the whole thing about the hair in your face and how to keep it off from there and out of her reach). All of this is normal to a mommy. It's not the same anymore and I know you totally get what I'm saying. If the headbands make your life easier, wear them please. Us moms do everything from working in our jobs, running errands, doing chores at home and raising a baby (and being everything to your husband/partner). We do it all, so we do not have time for petty things, let alone hair that bothers us.

[@Kim-rc8ym]

Guerlain LPRN INTENSE discontinued & new intense in a pink bottle? I think they got rid of the blueberry I think they're being reformulated? Check *Soki London* review

That very well may be but the blue bottles are still readily available at many shops including direct from Guerlain :)

Headbands👍💗

[@gfawka]

Yeah about ScentBird, it does seem kind of "strange" with the selection that they offer you. Plus I mean it's like they didn't even do any research on your channel before offering you a partnership. I mean you already do decants, so it's like offering a deal to a competitor. I mean I get that this is maybe not your core business, but come on, it makes no sense on their side. Anyway, I think if you feel comfortable in your headband, who cares if it's back in style or not. I think you would look good with one though

[@TheScented]

Yeah exactly, I don't think they did any research!

[@michelledavison6581]

I have looked at their fragrance list and checked out how it works and I said, “Pass.”

[@TeaCup1940]

7:11 but the perfumes are made in Italy. And the name sounds and is of Italian origin. Many Italians migrated to Argentina in the last centuries. So you weren't that off after all. There is an obvious connection to Italy.

[@oliviayin6363]

I think headbands are cute! They just need to be the right kind.. because some are definitely "youthful" looking (not in the good way) and others (for me) are headache inducing. You know what I think is classy and timeless for keeping bangs back is a scarf. There's a million ways to tie them and endless colors and patterns. Silk is supreme, of course. In fact you can tie a scarf like a headband and then use bobby pins to secure it in place. I'm sure there are tutorials on KZbin. Of course when you have a new baby, you gotta find what works and not be bothered with fussing with your hair for too long. If you want a truly vintage look though, head scarf all the way!

[@LenusyaTS23]

No head bands, your bangs look great!

[@Danit.Talkscentswithme]

I enjoy almost all Genre of fragrances…… except masculine, that’s a big NO for me. I just can’t, now, I can appreciate them for what they are but that’s where it ends for me . I love gourmand fragrances but more on the grown woman spectrum.

Re the headbands: listen girl, you are so chic that if you wore a paperbag on your head, there will be a rush on paperbags. Do what you need to do; you can rock any look. Hang in there. Sounds like you're going thru a bumpy patch. We can all identify. Things will be okay; promise.
