The thing I like about your videos is that you don’t just co-sign what other KZbinrs pick. I can trust your take on a scent.

[@AnneLauren]

Thank you, I appreciate that!

[@aromasandaesthetics]

Girl we eat Cheesecake Factory once a week lol 😂 their Thai Chicken salad has a hold on me. Now I’m gonna be in there next week like “and bring me a Georgia Peach as well please, need to gather Gossip Night vibes”.

[@AnneLauren]

oop and now I gotta try the Thai Chicken salad ;)!!

[@patr70]

I've never eaten at Cheesecake Factory! Or.. P.F. Changs! 😯 I don't go out enough. 🙄

[@ashleysertt7449]

I bought God of Fire on your recommendation, and I am obsessed with it! Beautiful and long lasting for me!

[@AnneLauren]

ah I'm so happy to hear that!! ❤️

[@jenniferocampo3873]

Coconut Sun, yes!!! Most real coconut scent and best solar. I am quickly finishing off a travel size, love the scent and overspray….sillage and longevity isn’t the best and can’t get enough of the coconut

[@AnneLauren]

such a feel good scent!!

[@an__g_o]

I liked right away after the "sorrows, sorrows, prayers" line delivery, subscribed after the "am i a genius?"😂 Love the attitude, your thoughts on the scents, and excited to go through your previous videos and enable the addiction even more.

[@AnneLauren]

😆😆 Thank you so much! I'm so happy to have you here ❤️

[@ccshomebeauty3042]

Anne as always I can literally smell the perfume from your descriptions & it makes me want to blindly buy all of them ,. You & Veronica says are the best at painting the picture of fragrance

[@AnneLauren]

I appreciate that so so much! 🙏🏼❤️❤️

[@hannahyalea]

I saw another comment similar to this but I just had to echo the sentiment since I agree: you’re like the effortlessly cool, pretty big sister that a little sister would look up to and aspire to be like. I love your videos and the very in-depth, thoughtful way you describe fragrances - I’m just now really getting into perfumes, but I already have so many on my list that I want to try because of you! Appreciate you and your channel sm ✨🤍

[@AnneLauren]

Thank you so so much 🥹❤️❤️ you’ve absolutely made my day, you’re too sweet! 🫶🏼

[@shirakopelovitz8005]

this is how good you are - most of the perfumes you're talking about are not even available in my country and anyway - I hate most perfumes and most of them just smell like "perfumes" to me 😅 and despite that, I'm binging on your channel! still would love to one day find my one dream scent 😊

[@cocodepoznan999]

Oh yes, Bora Bora is amazing. Tropical and sweet but so elegant and cozy. I tried it on vacation in Italy and fell in love with it. Now it makes me think of vacation every time I wear it

Ylang in Gold is my FAVE, I’ll have in my collection always. I can’t wait to try Coconut Sun, it’s on its way to me rn! Borabora sounds amazing 🙌

[@AnneLauren]

😍😍 I hope you love it as much as I do!

[@sebouquin2430]

Ylang in Gold is a fav! I also love Watch, but that one is kinda strong for high high temps. Bora Bora is just super pretty. Loving Narciso Ambree right now. Just wish it lasted longer. I can’t complain since I got a 3.4 oz for about $30. 😊

[@AnneLauren]

wow!! That's a crazy good deal!

[@ClassicKina]

Ok, I just ordered a sample of God of Fire! Your recommendations are spot on, so I’m confident I’ll love it. Thank you!

Hi Anne! Can’t wait for my Borabora to arrive! You mentioning it four times in a row in your videos made me pull my trigger 😂

[@christieo1761]

You explained Nightingale perfectly. I only have a sample but I get it now. Thanks!😊

[@CJM279]

So I tried a sample of Bora Bora ‘cause your description was just too good to pass up. It is really beautiful! It reminds me a lot of Lush Candy Rain conditioner, which I LOVE and use solely for the scent lol.

[@AnneLauren]

ahh I'm so glad you like it!! I'm not familiar with that conditioner actually, I just looked up the notes and that sounds scrumptious 🤤

[@ThruTheLukingGlass17]

It would be really helpful if you would leave the names of the perfumes on the screen as you’re talking about them.

[@micheleramirez6769]

My favorite summer fragrance is Guerlain Terracotta! I’m looking forward to trying some of these. Sadly Guerlain Terracotta does not last more than 2 or 3 hours. For me it’s more of skin scent and I love smelling it on my wrist. It’s just so beautiful!

[@thatsmellsdivine]

Ok I have NOT been able to get down with God of Fire, but now that you referenced Pandora, I'm going to have to revisit my sample with this visual in mind!!

[@AnneLauren]

😆❤️!

[@nindyhunt]

I just found you and by the 2nd description i subscribed because you describe perfectly for me. I know want to buy one if each if these!!

[@lilynguyen313]

I ended up blind buy TANGERINE BOY 😂😂. So delicious!!! Thank you! I wish I could try Ylang in Gold, so it's so damn expensive, even 30ml bottle.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

I can’t believe I haven’t seen Avatar! Or had The Georgia Peach!!! Time for another visit. 😂

[@AnneLauren]

😲😲 oh Chris you have to!! I'm in awe after a week after watching those movies! They're so beautifully done, especially seeing them on the big screen is something else. You'll have to let me know what you think of that drink ;)

[@hiral8521]

YAY, first ❤ Edit - I have to try BoraBora & Gossip Night! Thoughts on G&B Sunset hour? I hope you don’t mind these questions, you’re my self-appointed niche perfume guide 😝

[@BLARG09]

Bora Bora is my favorite summer perfume. It's a summer gourmand

[@AnneLauren]

Oh I don't mind at all! ❤ Sunset Hour is a very likable perfume, would be a safe blind buy for most people I think. I would also actually mistake this for a designer fragrance. This is mainly peach, raspberry, and pear. Super juicy and lightly sugared. I get the cashmere quality to it, it’s soft and smooth, some vanilla. Smells like a fruity virgin cocktail, cheerful, very girly and young. It wasn't a wow factor for me to get a bottle, but I really enjoy it, it smells good :)

[@hiral8521]

Anne please please do a Penhaligon's house review!

[@AnneLauren]

I can definitely review Penhaligon's!

[@1320Lee]

HI!! I purchased Borabora based off of your recommendation and absolutely adore it. Just wondering how many sprays you typically use? I am going nose blind to this after about 15 minutes and finding that either people can't smell me at all or im completely choking them out.

[@davezito888]

First, my wife absolutely loves you. This review has bumped up all these into her top 10 BOLO. Your energy is awsome! Your reviews are the best on you tube. I think I want all these frags too.. lol Your doing “it” right. ❤😢😊

[@AnneLauren]

Oh my gosh, thank you!!! That made my day 🥹🙏🏼

[@ashleylala4293]

I also find that “peach” notes in fragrances tend to be a really inaccurate representation of what an actual peach smells like. There’s a newer one from Parfums de Marley which supposedly has peach. I didn’t find any peach whatsoever. Jo Malone’s Nectarine Blossom does give me an actual nectarine scent though and I love that one.

[@AnneLauren]

I agree, it very often comes across synthetic to me. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Valaya either

[@freckledklutz]

Okay I need to eventually get myself a bottle of gossip night it sounds divine! Peach to me screams summer! Now if I could find a strawberry lemonade scent that would be ideal one came dream right?

[@AnneLauren]

oo that would be so yummy and fun! 😆

[@marieantoinette3451]

Hi Anne! I just got my $25 tiny sample of Celine Black Tie..I'm so dissapointed 😞 Is it supposed to smell like a very light vanilla extract? I get nothing but extremely light,sweet, generic/cheap vanilla. TBH, vanilla extract smells more complex and interesting. I'm wondering if I got a fake or its supposed to smell like that?

[@AnneLauren]

I'm sorry to hear it wasn't a hit for you! I can only speak on my experience and what my nose picks up, which is very different from yours in this case

[@mariezapanta8839]

Hello Anne, how is the performance of Gossip Night? I sort of feel the same way about peaches in fragrance, I have a few in my collection that I like but not love. I did hear you mention 5 hours and good sillage, but does it change during the dry down? Peach-mango is totally my zhoosh!😁

[@AnneLauren]

With overspraying, I get 5 hours with an intimate sillage! It stays practically the same throughout the life of the fragrance, but I'd say the opening has a touch of a tart quality along with the juiciness, and after about 15 min, it loses the slight tartness, and becomes more sugary sweet and smooth :)

[@Prague4Introverts]

Does it sound achievable to mix apricot and incense for a summer perfume?

[@marieburger7441]

I have gossip night its lovely and long lasting need to try it again in this hot weather we are having. i havent tried guidance yet but i think i need to try god of fire again. i was at sephora last week when visiting the states and didnt smell coconut sun but i only have two arms to spray lol i ended up getting radiant nectar from clean reserve skin. i wanted to smell bora bora but hear its not very sweet i do love Bianco Latte

[@AnneLauren]

I LOVE Bianco Latte! BoraBora is sweet to me, but everyone can have a different experience, definitely worth trying!

[@SmellNichex3]

Was that a Bridgerton reference? 👀 && I need to try ylang in gold and borabora. I love sweet vanilla gourmands so might enjoy it. My new discovery is Mystic sunset from Eau D'Italie. Try itttt

What is performance for gossip night?

[@kellymendez7310]

Is Peach the new mango ?! Can please you compare Gossip Nights vs THOO Bon Bon Pop !

[@AnneLauren]

😆 I feel like I've been seeing more peach fragrances popping up lately! BonBon Pop smells like sugared gummy candy peach rings to me! Candied peach, brown sugar, musk, I only get the soft wood in the dry down. Bright, girly, young, and likable. I think I personally prefer a profile that feels a little bit more grown up, but it’s a fun one! I'll definitely continue to revisit it. The first 2 hours straight up smell like peach candy rings to me, but a couple hours later, it gets a bit more interesting, and I actually really enjoy the dry down.

[@kellymendez7310]

@@AnneLauren I can’t believe you gave me such an in depth written review! ANNE, you are one of the BEST out here 🥰🥰 Sounds like I’ll have to pick up both since you do such a good way of describing them and making me want both. Bonbon pop sounds great to wear on its own or to layer since peach rings are my favorite candy. Thank you for describing your experience and preference. I’m glad it gets a bit more complex as you wear it. Can’t wait to see what other peaches we get this year !

[@rsgirl17]

What are your thoughts of Navitus Ambrosia Imperial and Kind Intentions?

[@AnneLauren]

I wasn't the biggest fan of Kind Intentions. The seaweed, olibanum, musk combo isn’t for me. I love the vanilla note with the fresh florals and touch of citrus, but it's also quite herbaceous, salty, and sharp. I would describe it as perfectly unisex. Ambrosia Imperiale on the other hand, I think has become my favorite from the house, I absolutely love it! But I don't think it's a safe blind buy, it's very unique and there's honestly no other fragrance that reminds me of it. So I'd recommend grabbing a sample from Mercari or Etsy! It's unisex leaning feminine, and it's sexy! I was expecting it to be much more gourmand than it is, it has gourmand elements of course, but I'd describe it as a borderline gourmand, it doesn't smell like food. The banana note also isn't as loud as I expected. I get caramelized, boozy banana with an airy saffron (that is an extremely prominent note), benzoin (it's not a heavy amber at all, but has an inviting warmth), and davana bringing in a bit of a green bitterness. It definitely has an airy quality to it but has a lot of character, I'd say it best suits the fall and spring weather, so good!

[@kerrynthegang]
