[@thedana89]

You have a talent for making me want fragrances that are nowhere near my usual taste! Your love for perfume is really apparent

[@AnneLauren]

😆 thank you!! ❤️

[@maricelalaines-crus7929]

Yessss exactly I ordered Another 13, had the sample for a whileeee and I kept going back to it. And I was likeee I see why it’s so addictive. And it’s happening again Santal Vanille. 😅 ayyyyyyy it’s somethinggg addicting. I’m usually a sweet perfume type of girl. Now I’m doing muskkk, a lil rose, what’s going on 😂😂😂

[@thedana89]

@@maricelalaines-crus7929 thanks to her review I ordered Clean Reserve Sueded Oud because it was on her fresh list, however it’s not at all what I usually call fresh and will take some getting used to 😅 I usually wear citrusy and green fragrances and this is suddenly sweet and dark??? But interesting nonetheless!

[@maricelalaines-crus7929]

@@thedana89 😂 I’ve been ordering samples. Niche is expensive so I want to knowwwww I like it.

[@prism601]

I was dying when you mentioned the comment someone left you, "Wood, woody, vanilla, woody, vanilla...". For me it's, "Perfume, makeup, makeup, perfume, perfume, makeup..." everytime my family or friends look around my bedroom. I'm like, "Yeah, so?" 😂

[@AnneLauren]

Literally!! Like let me love the things I love 😂😂

[@Mimi-b9s2c]

I agree. I have a family member who created this conspiracy theory that they put things in perfume to get us obsessed. I don’t understand why they just don’t accept the fact that some people live for the love of fragrance and it makes them happy and love being obsessed

[@renonagasan]

The fruity nuance that you're smelling in Bal D'Afrique is actually the marigold flower! Marigolds have a very unique smell, it's thick, it's slightly fruity, it's solar and floral. ❤

[@AnneLauren]

Ah thank you!! I don’t recall ever smelling them in real life before so this is very helpful! ❤️

[@camillaare2473]

Hi Anne, love your videos! I find it very helpful when KZbinrs put the name of the fragrance on the screen while they talk about it. Then I just do a print screen, so I know which frag to put on my sample list. Even if the name of the frag is listed, it can be hard to hear the name with all the tricky pronunciations and names in French and Italian. Now I have put (noted) Bal Dafrique and Another 13 on my wish list. Thank you once again for all your great reviews 🥰

[@AnneLauren]

I will implement the changes in my next video, thank you for the feedback :)

If I really thought about pairing down my collection there’s no way I could do less than 20. And I feel like that’s fair! I live in the Midwest (IN) and we have all 4 seasons and for me this would offer enough variety I think…maybe….kind of. I’m not downsizing lol.

I fully respect your decision! 😆🙌🏼 I definitelyy have other lifers in my collection!

[@mariansmartt]

Good decision. You can never have too many fragrances!

Omg! I listened to this on my way home from work yesterday and I love Herod SO much and you’re right….ladies need not be afraid it is marketed to men. I bought a bottle for myself also! (Hiding it from Pat).

[@AliceBrazilLlamas]

Anne, I love how you described your favorite fragrances. I have really enjoyed watching this video very much. I was smiling the whole time. Will definitely buy some of your recommendations.

[@bettybbags]

Anne, out of all the fragrance reviewers I follow, you are the most spend thrift and risk averse…you thoroughly vet each fragrance and all the nuances, that by the time you make a recommendation, it’s a sure bet 👏 I just added Another 13 and more Le Labo scents to my collection (Ambrette, Matcha, The Noir, Labdanum) bc of you and now I’ll need to get Gypsy Water and Bal d’afrique. After trying Velvet Haze years ago, I took a looong hiatus from Byredo, but will revisit now :) Happy Holidays 🎉

[@tiff4s606]

I love Gypsy Water. It's one my favorite fragrances. The incense in Gypsy Water is not that detectable. It's a lovely fragrance.

[@shackledtograce]

We need an updated list for 2024!!! ✨

This is my first video of yours that I've seen and it seems we have similar favorites so I'm excited to explore more of your work! In particular I'd love to know which Penhaligon's and which Diptyque scents you vibe with most. Have you tried Pen's Cousin Flora? I imagine you'd like the dry down a lot, but it can be hard to get your hands on.

[@chiefgl1161]

Anchorman reference for Oud For Greatness was PRICELESS😂

[@lisaisaleo]

I love Gypsy Water dupe by wild market! Check it out! So cheap too $40 a 50ml bottle

[@marieantoinette3451]

Tobacco and vanilla are cloying and nauseating IMO, and unfortunately Byredo Afrique dry down smells like that on me but the opening is amazing. I'm sad 😢 Delina Exclusif is the most addictive and feminine scent I've ever smelled. Also new love is Adventus for Her ❤

[@christellen2362]

Bal d’Afrique shares the same notes with a perfume I absolutely love but is pretty hard to get. Anyone tried Forêt verte from Ausmane Paris and can tell if Bal d’Afrique smells similar?

[@parfumsm.micallef7665]

Thank you so much Anne! Really happy to be on your TOP 10 selection 😍

[@Pancake1995Q]

It's so crazy, I have discovered your channel a couple of months ago and was so surprised to find that we have an almost identical taste. After watching the video, it's even crazier because apart from the 7 virtues fragrance, our lists are sooo similar!!! Appreciate all your recommendations even more (the only safe blind buys I can do hehe)

[@AnneLauren]

no way!! How cool! You'll have to let me know if you ever have recommendations for me 😉

[@Pancake1995Q]

@@Pancake1995Q I haven’t tried the Bvlgari, but I’ve tried Bois Doré! I thought it smelled nice but wasn’t for me cause almond fragrances usually don’t “smell like me” 😉

No idea how I found you, I have one perfume and it’s from Dossier. But I’m looking to smell better… so I’m thinking I’m gonna go to Sephora and smell some perfumes. Not sure if they’ll have the fancy ones you mentioned but I’m intrigued by the santal vanille one!

[@mvatolentino]

Saaaame experience with Byredo! Took me a while and several tries too! Haha

[@AnneLauren]

hahahah for reallll!! 😆

[@melanieabalos3108]

I love your reactions to your perfumes! We have such the same taste in scents- so my next purchases will be THESE! I'm a broke bish tho, so I'll be buying Oud for Glory, etc. Yeah..can u believe it. ..I've never yet smelled any of these except BalDafrique. Oh!...I received a tester of BDK Tobac Rouge- it smells so much like how u describe Delina! It has no tobacco scent, despite the name. I'M NOT into rose scents, but something about Tobac Rouge I'm kinda into! I bet its a more masculine leaning take on Delina! I definitely imagine wearing a formal black dress on a night out with it! Have you tried it and what are your thoughts!!?? Because of you, I've bought Byredo's Bal D'Afrique (Dossier version) and LOVE the simplicity of it- so pretty and uncomplicated! I used up the bottle within 2 months and now my niece is sending me a new bottle! I also bought a travel of Sunny Side Up and love it and miss it. I used up the travel size in two days, lol!!! I'm a fire sign- Sag here, woot~woot!!!

[@AnneLauren]

Oh my goodness you are in for a treatt then when you get your nose on these!! I'll have to try Tobac Rose! Thank you for your thoughts, I've hesitated to try it because of that note, but I'll give it a go then! I'm so glad you're enjoying some of my recommendations!! And heyyy me too girl 😉♐️

[@georgianapetreaa]

My love for your videos brought me back to this one 😆❤️❤️❤️

[@marial3231]

You’re my favorite perfume channel since I’ve been into this at beginning of summer. You kinda of remind me of myself (lol I know sounds so smug) in some weird way!

[@btexpress53]

What a fantastic list! I love Herod, Delina, Bal D'Afrique. I have Oud for Greatness and just smelled it again watching this video and every time I smell it I'm more drawn. I still have not worn it outside the confines of my house. But I'm getting there... My fave on my wife is Gris Charnel.

[@Pursuit_Of_A_Homestead]

Omg I rarely hear anyone talk about Guerlains Spiritueuse Double Vanille …I’m screaming hahaha I love it soooo much! That and Clean Reserve Skin are 2 almost everyday base scents/go to when I don’t know what else to wear scents for me!! I feel like we love the same scents so I’m sooooo excited to try some other fragrances you love !! 🥹🙌🏽🥂

Herod is SOOOOO good!

[@bashawnjohnson]

It's fire Sharida 😉

[@AnneLauren]

for real .. 🥵🥵🥵

[@DivineFrag]

Herod was my 5th purchase and I rarely wear it. I've noticed that sharp spicy smelling scents that I constantly sniff on give me a headache, two other scents that come to mind with the same problem: Initio's Rehab and Xerjoff's Starlight. I don't really have a list, but if I did, it would be littered with gourmands. Going to be my first winter with full bottles of Sultan, Lune Feline, and Ani.

[@AnneLauren]

Aw bummer! Luckily Herod is ultraa smooth to me. I understand what you mean with Rehab and Starlight though

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

I'm still waiting for a brand review of the latest line-up at Fort & Manle 🤤🤩...with a specific (and ruthless) assessment of their performance. I'd like that to be the focus of a review, I'd value your 'test drive' report. I would sweep the entire collection into my shopping basket TODAY, if only they weren't such terrible performers (ie; no sillage, no projection, poor longevity). They remain a strangely faint olfactory stain on the skin which everybody I know can only discern if their nostrils are crushed against the epidermis in question. They are heaven but something technical is hugely amiss. For that price point?! No chance. But I'd love to hear about YOUR experiences and ultimate verdict.

[@rebecacollazo]

I can’t wait to sample Herod in fall/winter! I already knew I should save it to give it a fair wear since it sounds deep 🖤 And then you pull out Oud for greatness another sample I’ve been waiting for fall 🙌🏼

[@AnneLauren]

[@conservativegirl3371]

Hi Anne, how’s Herod performance on you? Because I ADORE it, but on me it last for about an hour and then I can’t smell it anymore😔 I spray my skin, clothes, hair, but nothing😭 plus on my channel I did a “juniper perfume” video some weeks ago🥰

Maybe it’s just me but I detect a bit of coconut in Bal D’Afrique. Such an intriguing scent. I don’t find it citrusy at all on my skin and it’s a cold weather scent for me. Really like it. Oh and Santal Vanille is divine.

[@natsp6339]

Yes! I get a leather-y masculine coconut from Bal D'Afrique. I don't find it citrusy at all either.

Thank you SO much for how you describe each and every perfume! My signature scent I wore for 15 years is no longer sold in North America or online anywhere so for the last month I’ve been researching all the influencers in the fragrance world for their recommendations. ALL these perfumes in this video I have ordered on the websites you’ve provided and the last ones from Scent split came today after being lost in Japan haha. For some reason you and I have the same preferences….youre probably 30 yrs younger than I (I’m a young 58) and smell is EVERYTHING to me! Don’t like designer perfumes per se but love the fascination of a great niche perfume and lately have been obsessed with all things fragrance associated with it. You’re amazing! You’re funny! You’re smart! Thank you and keep posting☺️👏🏻❤️😎

[@pulp5618]

Hi Anne. First of all, I really enjoyed the way you talk about your favorite fragrances, it's like you are in a movie. I need your help please. I've been using Musk Pure and White suede by Tom Ford for mostly intimate moments in bed and an offensive scent. Now I'm looking for another alternatives because the bottle are almost finished. Do you have any recommendations for me? Do you think Another 13 or Chanel 1957 are good alternatives?

[@TheFragranceDecantBoutique]

Really amazing fragrances to have for life! Such a well rounded list with variety. I couldn’t choose just one!

[@mariavega4898]

Another 13 doesnt last forever. The peak only lasts roughly 4-6 hours.. Santal 33 does. But smells like a mature women perfume..

[@SharidaM]

Yeesssss SVD is 👑 lol!!

[@AnneLauren]

Love at first sniff and one of my first vanillas too! 😍😍

[@teddybear9426]

Ofg is fresh,woody and musky imo. Not challeging at all, it does not contain real oud. I liked it from first sniff, but it's overpriced. It remembers me of Galloway sometimes, probably the same musky drydown.

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

Egads! I thought we had such similar taste until I saw this list. We're lounging in the same hotel lobby but sitting in different corners; close but no cigar. I love listening to you talk about what you love. 😊❤‍🔥

[@elifkurcaloglu]

Can you really smell Another 13 on yourself? I smelled it on someone else the first time, I fell in love with the scent. After I ordered it, I was so excited to open the box and smell it, but it was a total disappointment. Only after a month or so I could smell it on my clothes and in my wardrobe but not on my skin. They say it is a molecule, skin-activated fragrance. Can you share your experience with it please? Thank you. Elif

[@thehonestperfumereviewer6336]

How many bottles in your collection have you bought with your own money? How about these in this video? Were they sent to you by the brands? Just curious. I find you to be an honest reviewer (have heard you bash fragrances which I appreciate😆) but that must be hard if you want the houses to keep sending you stuff. Have heard other reviewers almost get threathened by some perfume houses’ attourneys so that have to take their videos down if they are not positive enough. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

[@AnneLauren]

The majority of my collection I have bought myself, but even if that was not the case, it would not change my reviews because I value the trust I have with my audience. You can see in my PR hauls that I continue to plainly review scents and many will not be my style (which is why I will ask brands if I can sample fragrances first, because I’m so picky, but sometimes they want to just send something blindly). In this video, only Ylang in Gold was sent to me. I’ve personally never heard of a reviewer being threatened by a perfume house for a negative review, but brands know what to expect when they send me something. I say that I’ll be happy to review the product as long as I am able to give my honest thoughts. I don’t work with people who don’t allow me to be myself.

It is shocking to me how people love Delina. I bought a sample and sprayed it on excited to try the scent. OMG, I would have rather chopped off my own hand than to smell like that forever. I worked at an luxury old folks home previously and it reminded me of rich old lady and death. It made me physically sick and I am not sure how anyone could like this scent. I had to scrub my arm for a 1/2 hour to get the smell off. I asked my friend if it was just me. Apparently it was not. I will stick with my Dior blooming bouquet. It is crazy to me how different bodies pick up different smell preferences

I just blind bought Clean Sueded Oud because of you and let me just say…. I am now addicted !! Wow imo this is the best one in their whole line ! Yet it is the hardest to find and Sephora doesn’t even carry it 😢 I hope they don’t cancel this scent.
