Testing BOND No. 9 Perfumes AND Rating My Niche Fragrance Shopping Experience at SAKS & NEIMANS 🛍️

Today you are getting two videos in one! 😃
In Part 1 I’ll be telling you all about my very first niche perfume shopping experience! 🛍️
I recently had the opportunity to visit Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus in Boca Raton Florida and sniff to my heart’s content 🥰
Which 3 perfumes in a dizzying sea of fragrance stood out above all the rest?? Which niche brand impressed me the most? I also went to Lush and Zara.. were they a total bust?? You’ll find out all that (and much more since I can’t stop talking about it!) 😆
In Part 2 (which starts at 14:25 ) I am revisiting all of my Bond No. 9 perfume samples.. How do my thoughts on them now, compare to the notes I wrote on them a few years ago? There were a couple of standouts, and I definitely ended up with a new favorite to add to my wishlist! 😍

**Now that the test strips of the Bond No. 9 fragrances have dried down for a day or two, they have developed and changed in some ways and I have a few different thoughts on them. If you would like an update on that, just let me know in the comment section and I will update the description box here! 😊

I love when I'm out Sniffing Fragrances & there's that 1 that makes you take a step & just smile 🥺🥺

[@tammyroxanne.]

Right?? The best!! 🥹💕✨

[@GeorgiaTonka]

Big congratulations on your 1 year anniversary, in advance 🎉 💞💞💞 The space you created here is absolutely wonderful 🤗

[@tammyroxanne.]

Thank you so much my friend! I appreciate that so much! 🙏💖🥰 xo

[@sunnyscents1818]

I feel the same about LUSHi thought I was the only one who is not interested in the scents, I’m so happy you had a wonderful experience that’s all that matters!❤

[@tammyroxanne.]

Yes it was such a positive experience overall!! And I only tried about 12 perfumes at Lush, but I felt like they kept getting worse and worse as I went so I gave up! 🤣🤣

[@VeronicaSays]

This is the video I've been waiting for! 🎉

[@tammyroxanne.]

Yaaas!! 🙌🏻🎉 Hi my girl!! 😍🥰❤️

[@FromAbiWithLove]

Hey beautiful Tammy, loving the crisp white shirt 😍 I love Bond Perfumes, I'm actually contemplating adding Tribeca to my collection next but the prices are extortionate. I love that their samples looks like sweets🍬

[@tammyroxanne.]

Thank you my beautiful Abi! 🙏💗 Wow I just remembered she did spray Tribeca for me and it was beautiful! I think it was hazelnutty and chocolatey.. or maybe coffee.. but I remember it was yummy! 😋✨

[@sanneparf]

Hi Tammy 🥰 I love long videos , so relaxing! Oddly enough, I haven't tried anything from Bond No9, so this video was very helpful, I made notes! ❤Yesss to asmr!

[@tammyroxanne.]

Hi Sanne! ❤️ Yayyy I’m so glad it was helpful! 🙏🥰 I quite liked the ASMR too ☺️

[@ThePerfumeNest]

I keep my paper testers also. I just found a bunch in my backpack yesterday!!

[@tammyroxanne.]

Aww I love that!! 😍💛🎒

[@GeorgiaTonka]

Hi sweet Tammy ❤️❤️❤️ Missed you! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Bond no. 9

[@tammyroxanne.]

Hi sweet Georgia!! ❤️❤️❤️ 🫶🏼

[@julieg_quebec-julesselivre8641]

What an experience to visit all these perfume counters Tammy! 🎉🎉🎉

[@tammyroxanne.]

It was such a cool experience!! ☺️✨

[@courtneyfairbrother6299]

Your excitement is contagious and makes me want to go shopping with you!! I had a similar experience testing some niche fragrances in NYC. I was like “oh ok these too are just perfumes”. I don’t mean that in a bad way!

[@tammyroxanne.]

Awww! That would be so much fun! 🤩💖 Yes, when it comes right down to it, they’re all just perfumes regardless of the price or the brand!! 😊✨

[@HappinessSparkles]

I loved this so much and enjoyed my coffee while I watched Hugs ❤

[@tammyroxanne.]

Thank you so much Frances!! 💖💖💖 I’m having my coffee now too! ☕️ cheers! Hugs to you 🥰

[@HappinessSparkles]

What a wonderful experience,I had that same experience when I met up with Abi in Harrods in London 😮it was totally overwhelming

[@tammyroxanne.]

Perfume shopping with Abi in London?? 🥹💛🫶🏼💖 ..that would be a dream come true!!! I love that!! 😍 yes it is definitely overwhelming.. sooo many perfumes! 😅

[@FromAbiWithLove]

@@tammyroxanne. It would be a dream to be in your present my beautiful Tammy❤ we would have afternoon tea and perfume shopping

[@FromAbiWithLove]

Best day ever! I love you so much ❤

[@tammyroxanne.]

🥹💖🫶🏼 Oh my heart!! That would be the best!! 😍😍😍

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Tammy! Almost a year!!?? You are def one of my favs! So CLOSE to 1000!! Wow! It took me over a year so congrats my dear!!!

[@tammyroxanne.]

Yes I can hardly believe it’ll be a year already!! Thank you so much my friend, that means so much coming from you, you are one of MY faves!! 🥰 xoxo

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Im glad you didn't edit the crinkling out! So ASMR!!

[@tammyroxanne.]

Yayy! Yes I quite liked it! 😁

[@dr.claire.perfume]

So New York sounds nice 😊

[@tammyroxanne.]

It really is! After filming, I went upstairs and found that I actually did have a spray sample, (and remembered that it came as a free gift along with an order a while ago). I sprayed it to refresh my memory, and I found it to be sort of a muted, more creamy and powdery version of our Fatale Intense! ❤️

[@VeronicaSays]

I'm so glad you liked Chinatown! I was holding my breath 😂😂😂 Wow! I cannot imagine sniffing so many fragrances in one trip, but I know I, like you, WOULD NOT have been able to resist. 😊😊😊

[@tammyroxanne.]

Hahah! Well out of the top three I sniffed, if any, I would have probably purchased NY Flowers, a totally safe buy I’d say! Not to mention such a pretty bottle 😍 And even though I loved Animalique, I wouldn’t have felt comfortable getting it without a wear test! I need to be braver! 😉

[@FromAbiWithLove]

Oh I would've thought you'd love Rose Jam, American Cream is nice but so subtle it does not last at all! Rose Cherie is my love, so sweet and girly! Tobacco Honey is nice but I knew it would get on nerves at some point😃Vanilla Sex is so boring especially for that price it's not worth it for me but the bottle is nice

[@tammyroxanne.]

Yes! American Cream was one that I couldn’t smell on the tester a few hours later, very subtle is definitely way to describe it! I wish I had had more time so I could have appreciated Rose Cherie better, although I definitely really did like it! 😍 yes I agree about tobacco honey and vanilla sex!! I hope you had a wonderful Easter! It’s been a busy weekend with family home to visit, but I am super excited to watch your Esxence video!!! 🙌🏻 I might start it tonight before bed! Lots of love to you!! 💞🫶🏼✨🥰

[@ThePerfumeNest]

I need to smell B9! and I agree...so hard to dislike Scent of Peace

[@tammyroxanne.]

It really is lovely 🥰 And it does make me feel really peaceful 🕊️☺️ Gosh I don’t know which was more alluring to me, B9, or Queens! I’m going to wear them side by side today if I can find a free spot to spray them! 😅😅

[@HappinessSparkles]

Woo HOO I opened YT and there you were ❤pretty lady ☕️

[@tammyroxanne.]

Yayyhooo!! Hi my beautiful friend!! ✨🥰

[@ThePerfumeNest]

YES! New York Flowers is their brand new release!!! I want to get it. It is in the basket!!!!!

[@tammyroxanne.]

Oh my word girl yes it is stunning!! 🤩

[@MrsSmith88]

I love Aerin too! I have the majority of the Aerin collection. I have a collection video up thats about 11 months old. Ill be posting a new collection video up soon.

[@tammyroxanne.]

Ooh I’d love to see all your Aerin bottles! I didn’t know you had videos.. I’ll go look for it! ☺️

[@sunnyscents1818]

I wish I was there with you! ( I’m not creepy at all 🤣😉) hubby won’t step in a fragrance shop with me because I start talking to the staff forever 🤣

[@tammyroxanne.]

I wish you were with me too! We would have a blast!! 😃🙌🏻✨ Our husbands could go do their silly man stuff and we will do the important stuff! 😉😂

[@roseayalaperfumeaddict5059]

Hey Tami ❤

[@tammyroxanne.]

Hi Rose!! 😃❤️❤️❤️

[@dr.claire.perfume]

I only just tried my first Bond no9. I visited a smaller branch of Harrods and they stocked them! I have never ever seen them in real life before! I tried the turquoise green bottle of Scent of Peace 🕊️

[@tammyroxanne.]

Oooh that bottle is so pretty! I bet it is lovely! 🩵🥰

[@dr.claire.perfume]

@@tammyroxanne. I was looking for the purple scent of peace, are they different? It didn't smell how I imagined.

[@tammyroxanne.]

@@dr.claire.perfume yes, the turquoise bottle is The Scent of Peace Natural.. from what I can gather it’s more bright and citrusy. The one I tested is the light purple bottle, and it’s more musky creamy and sweet. It dried down very very similar to Clean Radiant Nectar to me! 😊

[@dr.claire.perfume]

@@tammyroxanne. Yeah that's the one I wanted to try, but they didn't have it 🤷‍♀️ I didn't love the turquoise one.

[@dr.claire.perfume]

I tried loads of Byredo on my visit too, including Animalique 😂

[@tammyroxanne.]

Oh wow! What did you think? 😃 Byredo is a brand I usually tend to really like, but I think I’m more the exception than the rule.. 🤭😆

[@dr.claire.perfume]

@@tammyroxanne. I don't think I've tried them enough really. I tried la tulipe and another one that I liked more but don't remember the name of that was similar to it. 🤔 In general, I don't dislike them, they are quite easy going, just horrendously overpriced 🤣

[@tammyroxanne.]

@@dr.claire.perfume Yes I didn’t even ask the prices at any of the counters that day, I didn’t want to spoil my mood! 🤣 (for some reason though, the guy at the Tom Ford counter told me the price right away.. 😳😅)

[@dr.claire.perfume]

@@tammyroxanne. 😂

[@HappinessSparkles]

That moment when you realize you have a sample of something you wanted to smell 🤷‍♀️

[@tammyroxanne.]

Right?! Ahhh it’s a great feeling! 😁

[@CocoPebz]

Queens sound like a bit of Me 💙

[@tammyroxanne.]

Yes!! You’d rock it! 🥰🫶🏼💗

[@roseayalaperfumeaddict5059]

I would love to go smell in person like you one day 😉

[@tammyroxanne.]

Yes!! I wish I had a whole week so I could focus on a few brands each day instead of trying to do the whole thing at once! 😅😆

[@HappinessSparkles]

I don’t buy anything in harrods either ,and I am sorry I didn’t ,I wish I had bought a small bottle of ambre nuit 🤩it was lovely

[@tammyroxanne.]

I have a sample of Ambre Nuit, it is gorgeous.. but sometimes we’re just not ready to make a purchase! We will when the time is right! 🙌🏻✨

[@HappinessSparkles]

@@tammyroxanne. it’s the one that stood out to me from all the perfumes I sniffed ,I might try to get a little sample next time I buy a bottle of Gris dior ,mine is almost finished

[@GeorgiaTonka]

Wow, you like New York Flowers. There is no way to test Bond no 9 here… I saw it at a discount recently but I did not have the courage to blind buy it (up until now) 😄

[@tammyroxanne.]

It really is very beautiful.. out of everything I smelled I think it would be the safest one to blind buy, but each person is so different, it’s hard to be sure! 😅

[@loriquick9675]

There WAS sandalwood!! 🏆

[@tammyroxanne.]

Yaass!! 🙌🏻 see? 😃 I knew it!! 😆😂

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Doesn't surprise me about Lush.....it is very "hippie head shop",. You are an elegant china doll. :)

[@tammyroxanne.]

Oh my goodness that is the cutest thing to say! Thank u- I feel special! 🥰🙈🫶🏼✨

[@CocoPebz]

I hope I wasn't saying it wrong & now have you saying it wrong 😅😅

[@tammyroxanne.]

I’ve never really known which way it is! 😅 I just saw a TikTok yesterday and the girl said it your way! (Perfume brands should include a pronunciation guide with each perfume) 😂😂

[@jillshorten3457]

Wow Tammy what an incredible day of sniffing for you! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 I went to Sephora the other night and sniffed/tried on like 4-5 frags, and I was totally overwhelmed 🫤 (The good news is I ruled a couple things out I was curious about! ). So….I have no idea how you did a whole day of it! 🤷🏼‍♀️ Awesome! I have not tried much from Bond and I need to. Sad that your Lush experience was not great - they have some of my very favorites 🩶🤍🩶

[@tammyroxanne.]

Hi Jill!!! Yes it was so much all at once! 😅 But I still loved it! 😍 I was really impressed by Bond! I also did get into a Sephora in the States, and it was really cool to see some of the brands we don’t have here in Canada, like Boy Smells, and even seeing Killian bottles in store! 😃

[@jenlikesdogsandperfume]

I need to try Queens! I love Chinatown. Definitely try Astor Place on your skin. It's so different than on a tester strip. It's the only full bottle I own so far

[@tammyroxanne.]

It’s so amazing the difference there can be between testing on paper and skin! And even between when you first spray something and later on in the dry down.. I smelled Astor Place the next day on that test strip and I was getting something very pretty and citrusy almost like Versace Versense! 💛💛 I’ll definitely give it a proper wear this summer! 🥰 Let me know if you try Queens! 😃
