THE MOST GOURMAND FRAGRANCES EVER

[@danidisco284]

very impressed by how unique a lot of your picks are! it is very clear to me that you LOVE fragrance and love exploring new options!

[@WillowGin1765]

I’m newer to the world of fragrance so these breakdowns by category are super helpful! I’d love to hear you talk about fig fragrances sometime - that’s one of my favorite notes so far!

[@Leftover_Poutine]

I second this

[@georgiivanov5889]

If you really like fig you need to check Theodoros Kalotinis Aluring Fig- super realistic fig with little vanilla and really affordable scent 😮

[@larryschwartz9382]

Thanks! Wow. I am a fragaddict and watch KZbin reviews about an hour per day. I click on every reviewer and cannot watch many even though I want to. Whether it's some trait which is idiosyncratic to me, like mispronunciation, overuse of slang, attempts at being too cool or too cute, I can't stay tuned no matter what I try. As far as the important things, that probably matter to everyone, pacing, over or under description of a scent, or being overdramatic with histrionics, will make me tune out. I have to say, although I am no one, you are perfection and for me in the top five fragrance reviewers. I haven't looked to see how long you've been on KZbin, but for me you get absolutely everything perfect. In addition, the timbre of your voice is right on. Wow. And in a fatherly way, I am old enough to be your dad, your perfect face and authentic smile only make you even more watchable. I became an addict at the end of last year when I had to cold turkey political shows, because of the hate in the world, which gave me extra time during the day. After hundreds of hours of video, I have no idea how I never found you before. Congratulations to you and to all who have subscribed. Leaving you what will probably be the first of "thanks", contributions. Really excellent.

[@lipstickandbourbon2027]

YES to the holiday fragrance video! So many holiday fragrances just smell like pine trees to me. I'd like some variety. Also yes to the Akron layering video idea. Bake is currently on my to try wish list.

[@misschellenyc]

I literally want to take these videos to a niche fragrance shop and have you guide me through each experience!

[@marinara5000]

Two words: Chocolate. Greedy. Wearing it today after Trader Joe's hot chocolate scrub. I am delectable.

[@kimberlyannnn]

😂

[@makebacunningham6795]

Your style is 🔥 and it reminds me of a beloved KZbin influencer Mel Thomson only she did makeup videos.

[@veeh.9436]

I love listening to your descriptions of fragrances. So, YES… please do a holiday fragrances video. Thank you.

[@charmedbymeghan]

Olivia you look so beautiful and soft with your hair like this 😍 it really suits your femininity ❤️

[@kari0675]

Love the hair and simple makeup! 😊

[@tiamelancholyjeoncockity]

This video is soooo underrated, these great new discoveries, I need them 😭🤤❤️

[@tatianafalcone4978]

I really enjoy your perfume descriptions - you make them really fun - YES please do a festive/ holiday video

[@joannathesinger770]

I ordered a sample of Akro Dark...which smells divine...like dark chocolate! I got my Choco Musk yesterday and have layered it today with Xerjoff's Golden Dallah (spices and coffee) and Vanilla 28. Divine!!! I have been wearing the same fragrance, Gianni Versace for Women, since it was released in 1981, but it's been discontinued for quite some time, and getting harder to find at a reasonable price. Sooooo...I've been looking for other fragrances with similar notes to extend my stash. Gourmand fragrances fit that bill...especially some of the Middle Eastern and niche fragrances, which is how I got here. I have several Kayali fragrances and just ordered the Sparkling Lychee!

[@aleacevedo350]

Try velvet chocolate 🍫 from Theodoros Kalotinis 🍫🍫🍫

[@bichgiangnguyen3532]

Can you please do a video on coffee fragrances? More so true coffee than like YSL black opium

[@PS-fk5zv]

Theodoros Kalotinis Coffee Addict is a literal interpretation of coffee

[@LauraSloman]

Kerosene Follow (not Followed) is a gorgeous coffee/vanilla/amber fragrance

[@ladyeva2000]

Hilda Soliani creme de latte

[@Mila_Bo_Bila]

I have a fragrance I’d recommend that smells like coffee but it’s SO good it’s called Khamrah Qahwa

[@ItsAllAboutAmber]

Eternal coffee by Paris corner is a good one.

[@rukhsaanashabudin9016]

Yes please to the Holiday choices!!!

[@sharonlee2005]

I suggest layering choco musk spray with the oil version to make it more intense and makes it last longer or with a coffee fragrance.

[@houseplantgirl1]

I would love to see a holiday fragrance video🥰I’m currently obsessed with ginger biscuit from Jo Malone

[@allyv.]

OMG I love all of these!!! Smelled the Akro Bake and it smell sooo good like a lemon ice box cake!!!!! I also got ahold of the Le Gourmand Jousset and my WORD! the amount of goodness in that one is spectacular! Thank you Olivia for the amazing gourmand video you have expanded the gourmand perfume world for me!!!!!

[@tspencer661]

I love Alexandria Fragrances. I have their Plum Japonais dupe, their Bitter Peach dupe, and their BR540 Extrait dupe. All of them are amazing.

[@becca3115]

My favorite gourmand fragrance this time of year is Salt Caramel by Shay & Blue. I just can't put it down! During the warmer months, I love Three Eyed Raven by Sucreabeille. It's a fluffy lemon chocolate scent, which I know sounds weird, but it's perfect for everyday wear. I love your videos! I definitely plan on trying Creme De La Berry, Bake, & Le Gourmand. They sound incredible! I have always been a fan of gourmand fragrances, so it's exciting to see how they've gained popularity & we now have so many options! ❤

[@LindsayEvans-u5z]

Oooh yes, holiday fragrance vid!!! But also maybe some incense-y scents in addition to sweet ones!

[@crepusculo87]

Sugar A -this was so unexpectedly amazing and complex to me! Not to mention the performance its excellent, last on clothes for days. It’s definitely more than a sweetener . Also I am love with Jousett- Crème de la berry .Thanks for the reviews !

[@jojo3389]

I think Dulce by Rosie Jane smells super similar to Bianco Latte and it lasts longer on me. It does have the hinoki wood note- which makes me prefer Bianco Latte slightly bc it doesn’t have that note. But they’re so similar that to save money, Dulce is a good option

[@ryenngaebler4286]

Yes! Please tell us the Akro layering tip!

[@paulaleonalmeida9622]

We neeeeeeeed that Akro layering combination. Love your reviews !

[@grungeg7086]

You did your entire oud collection, could you do your gourmand collection too? love your vids and have purchased many scents that I love thanks to your recs and descriptions!

[@Leonard_Washington76]

I’m a collector but finally getting into gourmands. Those sweet cinnamon, vanilla scents are great.

[@zhindra06]

I tried the trend of Kilian Princess layered with Kayali Yum Pistachio and it is the most delicious thing ever…

[@jillshorten3457]

Great list, I enjoy your descriptions! I have a decant of Bianco Latte and thank God I sampled first, lord that one is soooo sweet. Yes to a holiday vid & layering combos 🙌🏻

[@mary-louisecardosa2174]

i mix this and vanilla 28 in same bottle so it's less sweet and i like the combo

[@christyyoon1637]

the new gabby x navitus baklava royale just came in the mail a few days ago, and IT SMELLS SO GOOD. i would recommend it if you like pistachio, but want something thicker and much more substantial.

[@bethsmith3922]

yes to Holiday Fragrance video... Would love you to include links to where these fragrances can be purchased. I always have trouble finding them..

[@samanthahadaway1662]

Yes to the holiday video!

[@ruthk04]

Your tattoos are sooo pretty your whole vibe is unique & suited to you!

[@zanichar]

I love the descriptions of the fragrances, and would love to see a holiday fragrance video because I kinda struggle with what to wear around the holidays.

[@KARIN1980ification]

Orientica amber rouge is sweet like cottoncandy, Vanilla28 Kayali is a love. Santal Vanille and vanilla wood is also lovely.

[@daraalejandra]

The sol de Janeiro is my go to for gym … the 40 is very good too 🤤

[@MsChumelito]

Hi Olivia, loved the video, I adore gourmands!! Your description of Le Gourmand is spot on!! 😘

[@Stargirl11128]

You should make an Amazon cheap fragrances video

[@khairinsoradita1108]

You described all the parfume so well! Makes me can imagine the scents without sniffing it❤

[@Desertrat1547]

Chocolate Queen is my new obsession

[@stephaniel.3799]

Hi Olivia,new subscriber here. A video I'd love to see from you is how to smell great all day without gassing out everyone within a ten foot radius of you!

[@mary-louisecardosa2174]

bianco latte is a little too intense for me so i mix it with vanilla 28 and akro bake

[@keishadouglas840]

I had Cherosa 71 on at my family Christmas & my nephew told me I smelled like an ice cream shop. I wish there was a longer lasting version.

[@gg.6633]

Love your reviews!! Been following you since about 3-ish years ago when you reviewed Killian LDBS, and I found you to be so precise and accurate. It feels like I can trust yo utter taste!!

[@jenniferlage9355]

I love the hair cut!!!! I just found your channel & love your whole vibe & aesthetic

[@mariacenteno3859]

I love Vanilla 28. And that is so true, its perfect for layering.

[@seidablomberg8004]

Would love a holiday fragrance video!👍😁

[@sarawilliams5464]

AWESOME list! Just fantastic...I am an absolute gourmand girl myself. Now, like you I have other genres in my collection but - my favorite smells are definitely gourmand. Surely you have heard of Theodoros Kalotinis, Comptoir Sud Pacific, Gallagher/Pearlescent Parfums, Imaginary Authors and Kyse Perfumes? I would explore these houses for some great gourmands! But, yes...If you have some bad@$$ layering combos - Please share them with us! xoxo

[@pixidanberty5530]

Umm 🤤 the way you describe your scents makes my mouth water. WELL DONE SWEETIE

[@rowanregamey477]

Yum pistachio smells like pine and powder to me

[@alinrachici1708]

Hello! best new fragrance gourmand 2023. Lorenzo Pazzaglia sugar kisses and Lorenzo Pazzaglia sweet xplosion and Jousset le gourmand.

[@catherinenye4194]

Chiffon by solstice scents smells just like a lemon bar. I have the oil. It layers wonderfully as well.

[@VaneyAndrew]

I bought a travel size spray of Princess based on your review I love it. I need to get a full size bottle.

[@kamilahroyal1]

Good video! I layered Bianco Latte with Althair and it was great! Have you tried Chocolate Greedy or Vanilla Cake by Montale?

[@andyoujjjj]

Omg your skin is flawless!!!! You need to film either skincare routine or makeup tutorial!! ❤❤

[@Calamity_club]

Theodoros Kalotinis Lemon Tart! Smells exactly like a buttery and sweet lemon pie - very photo realistic! It is the best thing I have ever smelled - but it is so foody that I hesitate to actually wear it around other people😂

[@louselman]

Holiday fragrance video please 😍😍

[@charuverma]

I purchased SDJ No 71 and Choco Musk on your reco (blind buy) and i LOVE both ♥

[@wilhelminagentry7601]

i live for these break downs!!!!

[@raqueljimenez8137]

I'd love to hear your opinion on Lattafa's Affection, its like what everyone was expecting from Yum Pistachio Gelato but less complex

[@legolasthranduilion4765]

What's your thoughts on that fragrance?

[@kenziegeorge7624]

After your review on Sphinx Crème de pistachio I RAN to buy it. I was so disappointed. It’s absolutely beast mode, I washed my clothes and still can’t get the scent off. However, I didn’t get creamy, nutty goodness I got almost a super strong boozey floral from it. Gave me the worst headache 😭 but I’ve blind bought several other recommendations from you & this is the first time I’ve been disappointed so 1/9 isn’t too bad

[@tspencer661]

Blind buying can get expensive. If I can, I try to buy decants. If you buy from Sphinx again, you may want to buy a sample decant. A sample decant is a lot less than a whole bottle. I hope you found someone who can use your bottle of perfume.

[@Cameleae]

I agree.. wanted to love it so much but it almost got stronger as the day went on that the headache was real 😅😅😅

[@mylinhhoangova8724]

Be careful with pistacchio scents! I had the same with Kayali pistacchio, went to Sephora to test it and was sooo dissapointed. I do not detect any gourmand or pistachcio. On me, its poor floral scent. The projection & longevity does not justify the price.

[@tspencer661]

@@mylinhhoangova8724 Most Kayali perfumes smell bad on me. My daughter bought me a discovery set with six different scents. Only Lovefest Burning Cherry and Eden Juicy Apple worked for me. The popular and well loved Vanilla 28 is a huge NO for me. To say it doesn’t work with my skin chemistry is an understatement.

[@kenziegeorge7624]

@@Cameleae I was grocery shopping at Walmart, it was so strong & headache inducing I had to buy clothes to change in Walmart in order to finish my grocery shopping 😭

[@teebee5326]

CHABAUD LAIT ET CHOCOLAT.....I MEEEEELLLLLTTTT. SO YUM

[@melissar.7802]

Your ocean eyes 💙

[@ummesalmatahir6745]

I'm new to fragrances and realised I'm a gourmande girlie so thank you!!

[@clairvoyscents1292]

I adore you! And love your light beautiful makeup today you just glow! Can I ask do you have a tropical vacay perfume video? I wanna bring 3-4 perfumes to Jamaica with me in few Months and love your recommendations ✨✨😘😊

[@DougJenkins777]

Cool seeing you at the show today. We didn't get a chance to talk but hopefully you'll know my fragrances in the future...

[@brookepalacios12]

I layer the Kayali Vanilla 28 and Snif's House of 8 and it is 🔥

[@vivianli4460]

Please try Noir Exquis by L'artisan Parfumeur. It smells like walking into a French bakery on a breezy Fall morning, drinking a French-pressed medium roast coffee, and sitting down and watching the day pass you by. There's a sweet sticky glazed maple syrupy, chestnut note that is absolutely divine, on the dry down. It is my most gourmand fragrance I have on hand and is absolutely delicious. I also have the old L'homme Ideal by Guerlain that smells like an English Bakewell tart, to me, which is also so, so good. Also, please do a festive, holiday fragrance video. Love you!

[@soledadmullin7113]

This was a marvelous explanation of Noir Exquis, thank you, I will try it.

[@daraalejandra]

Love your videos and reviews 🤗🤩

[@wickedscribes6263]

Thanks so much for this. I look forward to all your videos, since I share your happiness and joy of collecting. I was just wondering if there are any new or new to you fragrances houses you are excited by?

[@genbernier]

If you never smelled Boardwalk Delight by Skylar, I recommend it. It is so Coney Island-y

[@sonjalee1977]

I’d love a holiday scent video & I know the frag you keep teasing about.. well I don’t know it yet, it’s on preorder. You convinced me to get it & we haven’t even seen the review yet. Tell us 🙏🏼💖

[@KARIN1980ification]

Must try creme Brulée and some other like coffe addict, vanilla and choclate by Theodoris Katalonis

[@virgorules5210]

If u want a fresh take on Oud then you must try Marshoud 4 White Atyab Al Marshoud. It is very refreshing but really hard to get.

[@1ofGodsMedicalHands]

Thank you so much for your reviews alllll of them are so helpful!!!😍

[@daniellemarino5247]

Just got my bottle of sora dora jany.this is my new favorite gourmand!omg this is so good!warm apple pie goodness. Go look at the notes ,save some coin and put in cart.if your a gourmand girl this is a safe blind buy.❤😊

[@taintedlife2618]

I had one of the travel sprays in the original formula of Princess and wanted a full bottle but then they changed the bottle/formulation and increased the price. I was able to get an old bottle an at outlet for like 70 bucks. I hated the bottle when I saw it in pics but I love that weird witchy crystal ball looking bottle!

I'm here for the incomparable way you speak about perfumes that makes fragrances come alive, but ALSO for your delivery, your wit, your on point facial expressions, your standup comedian talent!
