trying my entire fragrance wishlist *fall edition*

[@TheGarsowTwins]

Emma! Thank you so much for including RISE + SHINE in this video. We're so happy you love it! We too really wanted to smell like a cinnamon bun for fall (who doesn't??)

[@heatheryyy]

The way you're feeding my perfume obsession right now; I don't like to spend money on myself but perfume makes me feel amazing, and I'm letting myself branch out and buy myself scents that I really want. Thank you

[@The_Cherokee_Gypsy]

I just love the fact that you’re honest. Just because a brand sends you free fragrances, doesn’t mean you kiss their ass so you can keep getting more free fragrances. That’s the problem I have with ALOT of these perfume KZbinrs. They rant and RAVE about every single fragrance they get, but once you get it it’s trash. Aka middle eastern fragrances 🙄 I have never jumped on that train and I never will! I love that you don’t really talk about them much. I just appreciate that you’re honest, that’s all I’m here to say. I also love your long videos, and the science tidbits you put in about fragrance. It’s absolutely fascinating. ❤

[@ellaizcool]

okay this peach discussion is super interesting to me because ripe peaches are literally my favorite scent in the world, yet every peach perfume i buy NEVER smells like peach and it’s super disappointing. the best one i’ve found, in terms of actually smelling like a fresh peach, is actually sweet peaches by venom scents (i’d love to hear your opinion on this one), but they haven’t even released a full sized bottle yet and i feel like im going crazy!! all i want is the perfect peachy perfume :’(

[@moev29]

I want you to know that I loved the synthetic peach info. Really interesting.

[@PhoenixSkyy]

Same! So in depth and interesting.

[@Zenzele.]

I also felt Angels Share smelled like apple pie when I first smelled it. It’s so yummy!

[@Juliabuliaa]

Excellent analysis of peach scent - I know understand why I hate all peach fragrances despite it being my favorite fruit and one of my IRL fave smells 😭

[@Sushirozzz]

I think Kilian's Oak accord has indeed an Apple touch to it. Their original "Apple Brandy" perfume also has Oak listed and gives off an apple smell as well. Love them both!!

[@vmili429]

[@loribreitbarth2215]

You make me laugh with your facial expressions 😂. I can kind of tell what your impression of the fragrance overall is by your face. It has amazed me since I started getting different perfumes and wearing them how much a perfume can change from initial impression to long term wear. Thanks so much for trying these and sharing your thoughts ❤

Peaches revenge the initial note is yuk but after it sits for 10-15mins it turns into this beautiful scent!! Let it sit for a while!

I love peaches revenge, and I don’t even like peach in my fragrances typically. But I love how musky and ripe it smells. I hope it grows on you.

[@u2blass]

LOVE Blue Madeleine. But Dear Polly is also one of my favourites and also has a "cigarette smoke" dry down, so I think that may just be something I'm attracted to.

[@hannahyalea]

Have you ever tried Jasmin et Cigarette by ELDO? If you like a smoky note it may be up your alley!

[@u2blass]

@@hannahyalea no, but will try to get my hands on it! I like a couple other ELDO fragrances. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@kittehtoes]

[@amandaf6110]

LOVE Happy Dust! I reach for it all the time. I am also obsessed with Mula Mula Double Caramel for Fall.

[@joannacardoso1115]

I love a good dupe, who doesn’t? I haven’t tried Angel’s Share but I blind bought Lataffa Khamrah and it is one of the greatest perfumes, in every sense, of all time. It is so classy, unisex, comforting yet strong, boozy but cinnamon sweet. It smells like a seductive, woody, holiday retreat. It’s very grown up and sexy indeed. I love it. Lasts FOREVER and hearing your description of Angel’s Share further proves to me that Khamrah is the perfect dupe. Highly, highly recommend.

[@bethyhowl6035]

As someone who has tried both, Khamrah isn't close at all and wasn't intended to be a dupe. That being said, some people do like Khamrah better. I heard Maison Alhambra Kismet or Fragrance World Cocktail Intense is the closest.

[@joannacardoso1115]

@@bethyhowl6035 that’s interesting because it has definitely been called a dupe by multiple sources, even if it wasn’t intended to be. I personally purchased it for that reason alone after doing some research. Also, based on her description (and that of many others that review Angel’s Share), it does seem that they are pretty much the same. Maybe they do smell completely different, but that would be incredibly odd if the scent profiles are so similar. Do you prefer one over the other?

[@bethyhowl6035]

@@joannacardoso1115 Angel Share is better in my opinion. I don't get any Apple Pie from Khamrah, which is what I liked about Angel Share.

I've yet to try the other two that I've mentioned.

[@daniellew.7928]

[@Sowindiee10]

Loved the side tangent on peach 😂 honestly I’d love a video just about how we achieve certain scents perfume and the various challenges.

[@marimar5279]

I think the reason why you’re smelling halls is from that amaretto which tends to smell like cherry, hence the cherry halls cough syrup and that mixed with the fruits gives it a sourness

[@CamBH1]

My fave cinnamon scent is Eyes Closed by Byredo!! I feel like that actually gives cinnamon

[@AirBeat-lk3pl]

I’ve never smelt the original, I only have the oil perfumery impression of it and to me it smells exactly like an unsweetened carrot cake!

[@beaherzberg]

Gris Charnel is my favorite for fall ❤

[@cipreste]

that aesop scent sounds so beautiful girl you're killing me /j

[@jaytibee]

Peach being a synthetic made from a lactone aldehyde makes so much sense especially for Kilian Good Girl and Good Girl Extreme. Both have peachy milky aspects to me from the osmanthus. The original even smells a little spoiled imo like some peach fragrances to me, but the Extreme manages to take more of the creaminess from the lactones.

[@NatLikesThat]

Mirage gourmand is 1000/10 for me lol but the Madeline one does smell like smoke , I agree! Thank you for the lovely video

[@dpwiththedegree]

Angels share is EVERYTHING

[@dpwiththedegree]

Literally reminds me of going to a hayride as a kid with an apple cider doughnut!!!

[@Mira-yh9kh]

Finally someone who had the Same expirience with blue Madeleine as me! I had such high hopes because i was expecting a Gourmand tea fragrance and all the influencers described it as a Micky Sweet tea and than it just smelled like smoke🥹

[@ren.f0998]

eyes closed by byredo is very cinnamon based, its very warming and spicy; its supposed to replicate the warmth of breath as you lean in to kiss someone, its encompassing but still gentle, if you're into cinnamon in fragrance its a must try

[@perfumerism]

I’ll check it out!

[@GINA-pw3ld]

I just bought angel share and 15 minutes out of the store I got a compliment! I love it. I did try the brandy one and although it outlasted angel share, I don’t care for it!

[@whiterosesinthesnow]

Tiger by her side is an amazing cinnamon scent!

[@MrRookitty]

If you're getting into cinnamon fragrances, try Jo Malone's new Hinoki and Cedarwood launch. It's a really fresh, aromatic cinnamon it's so unique.

[@AaronFigFront]

I have gotten into fueguia 1833 last year🥰, 200-300 perfumes in their line, and all of them are real high quality, some of the best even among niche brands. 100+ is a HUGE line, and I can’t figure out how all of them managed to be at least from average to top niche quality. I am lucky there is local store here where I can smell them from time to time, cause it is a huge collection and going through them takes time.

[@Ms_diamondx]

Your reaction to the Tilda Swiston was so cute too made me giggle 😂

[@Kbaltrush]

Love the honesty… Congratz on the 90k 🎉… i am now curious to try glow ❤

If you pour a glass of Cognac you'll find it is very fruity, that's probably where the apple is coming from. I've been dying to try Narcotica. Love these videos!

i was really disappointed by peach's revenge as well, it was sickly like really synthetic peach candy, not like peaches or desserts at all

[@Ms_diamondx]

Watching your videos give me life!! I wish killian angel share was cheaper! I want it so bad 😢

[@kaceyisdead]

Lauren Mae has compared Angel's Share to that gooey filling that the apples go in for an apple pie. I agree!

[@AmiAbroad]

So, who blind bought a full bottle of Blue Madeline? Meeee🙋🏻‍♀️. Like you, I found the smoke to be overwhelming at first. However, it's been 3 months, and I don't get smoke now, but instead a whole lotta black tea. Which is a marked improvement, but still not quite what I was expecting. It's a nice milky tea, but no madeline. 😢

[@schmorbraten7594]

Again, such an infectious energy and enthusiasm ❤❤ also super informative - I love your side-notes containing more and more digging down some research rabbitholes. My fall vibe today: TF Cherry Smoke layered with Zara TOB/03, which has dried fruits, cinnamon, benzoin, musk ... they blend really nice.

[@sarahiles520]

Interesting reviews! My favourite cinnamon perfume is Une Nuit Nomade Sugar Leather (should be called Cinnamon Sugar imo!) I was also disappointed in the Peach's Revenge, I liked the juicy peach opening and I did get the caramel and amaretto but I found they didn't last on me at all? (Plus the peach is somewhat artificial/cough syrupy to me as well, maybe it's a Canadian thing? Lol) My fav perfumes with peach are MDCI Peché Cardinal & Killian Liaisons Dangerous (though neither are gourmands) I think for gourmand peaches I'm going to stick with cheaper indie houses since the note is so hard to make natural and realistic anyway, like Haus of Gloi Pumpkin Queen & Peach Rings, and the Canadian house Pulp Fragrances gourmand Embrace (pumpkin shortbread with butter, apricot preserves, & brown sugar). She also has a cozy sounding tea series called "Steeped in Slaughter: Tea & Cozy Mysteries" that I want to try! I found Blue Madeleine on the tannic side for my tastes as well, so not really creamy enough for me. Have you tried Solstice Scents? I think you might really enjoy the Fall Collection! (should be releasing soon) Their gourmands are excellent, esp. Owl Creek Aleworks (this is sweet and malty, not like beer at all!), Corvin's Apple Fest, Blackburn Parlour (banana split!) & Halloween Night (black jelly beans), but they have many others! (PSA: just beware you will probably be hit with duties in Canada, I was unfortunately, but still worth it imo!)

[@jblover5959]

THANK YOU about blue madeline!! it is sooo smokey. Definitely not bad but the marketing is so misleading for something that they literally named after a cookie and used pastels to just give such a smoke forward scent was wild to me. In love with the bottle tho

You got me started on such a perfume journey from your London Fog layering video, now I'm building my own little collection and apply twice a day lol. I got a scent from a new brand from South Korea called Villa Erbatium that makes my eyes roll back, it's so delicious and boozy and syrupy and warm and fruity, called Fig Whiskey. Would love for you to check out the brand (gorgeous bottles btw).

I think cinnamon is hard to pull off and capture the feeling of a dessert. I notice this in baking a lot where what I THINK is a delicious cinnamon smell is really cinnamon, brown sugar, butter, nutmeg, and whatever else I’m mixing together to get like a full picture of what I might think of exclusively as cinnamon in my head

I know Granado has a store in NYC and a US website but I'm not certain if they ship to Canada :(
