we have A LOT of new perfumes to talk about

[@bratztaylor]

i just wanted to say you’re doing great! try not to feel rushed or overwhelmed with the posts, most of us (if not all) understand you have a personal life too!

[@NotSoUnitedNations]

omg yes please still post the advent calendar vids!! they're not "late", we can still use them to inform our decisions for christmas 2025... :P (also selfishly i just like watching your vids lol)

[@whitneyellison]

I wish Skylar got rid of the rollerballs too! If they changed over to sprays I’d join the scent club immediately. I’d also buy so many more scents from them because I hate rollerballs but I don’t want full size bottles of all their stuff either.

[@connie_kathleen]

I’ve bought a few roller balls at Sephora and the size of the tube is pretty universal so I popped the roller part out and replaced it with a spray top from a travel spray I already finished - kinda a lot of work but it worked for me!

[@Lana.381]

@@connie_kathleenoooo good thinking

[@Juliabuliaa]

They also sell spray tops on Amazon that fit the Skylar rollers. So easy to convert them to a spray!

[@abbyhayes634]

I'm happy with any content! I think we all can agree that whatever makes you feel the least overwhelmed as a year-wrap-up video is what is best. If you don't want to limit yourself to only 10 or only gourmands, then have a longer video. If you want a prompt to narrow your scope, you could do your most worn for the year

[@susanswanson5487]

Wanted to share with you that my brother, who also loves smelling colognes/perfumes, bought me Baccarat for Christmas and when I tell you, I almost fell out of my seat!

[@Agt3005]

Haha that’s so sweet

[@ImagineThat10]

A fragrance called "Marshmallows" that has patchouli ought to be illegal 🚫 Welcome back Lauren!!

[@Samisnotavailable]

Im glad you talked about whipped cherry because i was afraid it was going to be cough syrup-y but now i think ill give it a try!

[@shandel499]

its a new cherry vibe, no cough syrup . I just tried it out and it is lovely, feminine.

[@Juliabuliaa]

You prob already know this - but Amazon sells atomizer thingies that fit perfectly on the Skylar rollers. takes two seconds to pop off the roller and pop on a sprayer. I do it for the scent clubs that I really love!

[@rachaelmccord2035]

Please upload the advent calendar videos! They literally helped me get through the holidays ❤

[@shonaandersen4248]

I agree on the whipped cherry, I love it so much and I was so surprised by it. I do have a bit of an over the top layering combo that gets me crazy compliments. I use Whipped cherry as the base and I overspray it a little, then I do Burberry Her og version, just a few sprays and I finish it off with Kayali bougee marshmallow. I love them all separately and do wear all of them individually, but all together, chef's kiss. Sooo good

[@emilyhatch1431]

The whipped cherry is sooo good! I smelled it in Sephora and for some reason it smelled more fluffy but when I ordered a sample the fruity notes really stood out. So beautiful though. I ordered golden rule as well and it was a little too heavy and night time ish for me. I get the YSL libre comparisons but it actually leans more unisex for me which isn’t my vibe. Will be ordering a full size of whipped cherry though! I thought it was better than yum boujee marshmallow personally

[@lyzabethlopez]

2024 overview video - top 5 of each category. Choose the categories you love ie vanilla, lol. Finish with top 5 overall EVER to see if anything from 2024 made the list :) xo

[@thepiggiediaries2605]

I agree! I wish rare beauty would just name their fragrances peach or lavender. Go simple because i can never remember which is which with those names lol

[@Jlrc13]

I spoke to a sales associate yesterday about Jo malone taif rose- apparently limited edition for Valentine’s Day and only a small run. It’s a beautiful pink bottle and very different from the main line. Taif is a city in Saudi that is famous for rose

[@Rose-l7n1x]

Lauren, please recommend a fragrance like Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallow without the patchouli, I BEG YOU. (Or anyone!)

[@jenn5640]

Hi Lauren! For a 2024 wrap-up, how about the fragrances that came out in 2024 that will stand the test of time and still be great once the fragrance frenzy and gourmand notes trends have passed? Love all your content 💜

[@chelseasullivan7355]

Thank you so much for your in-depth review on Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallow because I was so excited to blind by this, not knowing that there is a patchouly note and as someone that doesn’t like Kayali 28 I don’t think I can blind buy this one anymore 😭 people on TikTok keep saying it’s reminiscent of boujee marshmallow which I LOVE that one.

[@Rose-l7n1x]

I was SO excited too but am now scared 😢

[@caithenry8429]

Aw, I came from your beauty channel when you just started this one, and to hear that you are getting more PR makes me feel oddly proud. Like a random family member rooting from the sidelines about your channel growth lol

[@Coco-iw1db]

I know you were complaining about the roller ball perfumes, but I personally love them as you can reapply in public without making others inhale your scent!

[@mackberg1792]

The way you explained picking up a specific note from one fragrance to inform your decision about another is genius! thank you so much for that. More helpful than you even know!

[@AirBeat-lk3pl]

If the rare beauty awaken confidence smells like peach I’m interested! I love peach! I really like sparkling sugar

[@rachelstauffer1326]

Would love to know your top ten! Best releases in every category is fun too, but I really want to know what you actually wore and loved ❤

[@laurenb3651]

From one Lauren Mae to another :), the Whipped Cherry is my new favorite. It’s finally a cherry scent that doesn’t remind me of my worst childhood sickness and just love how sweet it is

[@AirBeat-lk3pl]

I LOVE your advent calendar videos! They’re so funny and I love being surprised vicariously when you open a day

[@baby.nay.]

Girl you are the advent calendar queen , no need to stop, we love it ! I adore how skeptical you are, yet very fair ❤😂

[@kimstaudt5581]

Yeeeees we wanna see the advent calendars all year round! 😍😍😍

[@leasting]

It's so interesting that Me Espresso doesn't smell particularly coffee-like! I love a coffee note in a fragrance (big fan of it in Black Opium, I also love Akro Awake), it's a little disappointing that this is something else when that's literally the namesake for the scent lol

[@katieharris7219]

Lauren--your lip color!!!! (Had to check immediately to see what you had on!) I know it's technically a berry shade, but it is such a beautiful, soft and romantic red on you. It is truly a stunner and brings a beautiful healthy glow to your complexion! ❤❤❤

[@CanaAlyce]

The whipped cherry from clean reserve to me, smells like Bacarat rouge by 540 with cherry.

[@bowieknife879]

I bought it and thought the same. Im going to let it sit a bit and see if it stays longer.

[@hayleykling]

All I get is Baccarat 😭

[@passionfruits107]

I just like listening to you talk about fragrances tbh so yes please post the advent calendar videos

[@goodemily]

Absolute yes to the advent calendars! But take your time. Gotta take care of yourself. We’ll be here when you’re ready. ❤

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I wish fragrances were marketed in a more nuanced way. I want to know if a fragrance is predominantly sweet or floral or spicey or fruity. All gourmands are not the same.

[@lorrinatreadway2938]

Thanks Lauren. Yes ANY videos are good from you!❤️❤️❤️

[@sarahrendon2480]

Agreed!

[@jesschezem8]

my favorite from clean is the radiant nectar. it's soooo good.

[@genevieveve]

Thank you for your thoughts on the new Ellis Brooklyn body mist. I was SO JAZZED about it but I dislike patchouli in a MAJOR way, and Kayali Vanilla 28 is a patchouli bomb on me. So I will skip the EB one. That comparison was super helpful!

[@itscoral]

Have you seen the new Dossier original Winter Kiss? It sounds like such a yummy gourmand 😮

[@ChicSabrina]

Can you smell and give us a review of Skylar Nude Skin and Skylar Citrus Reverie? Also Santa Barbara Strawberry from Nest?

[@gwendolinehall1386]

I'm SO curious about clean reserve whipped cherry. Other cherries always fall flat for me, always too medicinal on me. Or with kayali's Love fest burning cherry, it's so masculine on me, woody notes always do, with a side of that medicinal note which was heart breaking. One of farmacy's cleansing balm, very cherry cleansing balm was my absolute favorite scent, though really it smells like almond extract which I love to bake with. I desperately want a cherry perfume that makes me feel the way very cherry did, but they haven't liked me back. Hearing whipped cherry is different from the usual take has me fully intending to go find it to try.

[@rabeiqua84]

That’s interesting about “sweet nothing”. I hope they come out in a full size and sell it at Sephora so I can try it. I was disappointed by boardwalk becuase it was too clean smelling for me.

[@savannahwells6358]

Sweet Nothings is a little more fruity, it's amazing!

[@courtneyperkins6683]

Hey, Lauren! I've been thinking about you and praying you are all well! Just wanted to say that I loved your last videos and that you're not the only one in the Skylar scent club! It's that 20$ new perfume every month for me. 😂 I've heard that Amazon has a kit that helps turn a rollerball into a spray, but I've never really looked into it. There are a couple of how-to videos on YT, as well. Maybe that will be my weekend project. 😊 Take care of yourself, honey! Lots of love from Courtney in Atlanta 🍑

[@HouseofCass]

your advent calendars are so fun! would also be interested to hear your Most Reached for in 2024

[@heidimargaret306]

Tyfs your thoughts, and YES PLEASE to the advent calendars 😀Alexandria Ryan does them way into March lol have a great weekend 😀

[@leiakiki]

I love your scent reviews the most, your descriptions of fragrance are far above others who “review” but say nothing of value about the product. Really value your experience ☺️

[@dianelaping1185]

I feel the exact same way about Jo Malone Taif Rose! I’m not a huge fan of rose unless there are other more prominent notes, but something about that one keeps pulling me back. I promised myself I would get it as a treat for finishing a marathon!

[@shandel499]

I have smelled, sprayed and I agree with your description of the new Reserve I get a big almond* note as well. It lasted for 4 hrs. I don't gel with much from that house but I did enjoy this one. YSL Opium comes off as the exact same as the original, it perhaps feels a titch lighter? I enjoy the bottle. I also have a neat find; BBW candles white sands and sage; it smells like the Merit perfume. No idea if it does burning but dang, in store, it smelled spot on, and the new perfumes do not disappoint either. Cheers yall.

[@cherylturgeon6237]

The new Snif “ Me “ I loved the sample so much that I purchased it. Very nice👍🏻

[@laurenlaflor]

Yes, I would still be interested in advent calendar content! Even if it is January, it’s still fun to watch as a surprise box opening. I usually don’t watch advent calendar videos to determine if I would buy them or not anyway, so it doesn’t make a huge difference to me. Also - a video on your top 10 or 20 of 2024 would be wonderful! Category round ups could be a year round thing if that’s feeling too overwhelming to get out all at once right now. I like when fragrance content creators do category or vibe roundups throughout the year, like “winter gourmands” or “spring vanillas” etc. But to be honest, I eat up your content regardless of what it is, so no pressure here! ❤

[@cutebutop7262]

I’m subscribed to the Skylar Scent Club too! But I decant my rollerballs into travel sprays. I’ve found I just don’t use rollerballs. Sweet Nothings and Milk & Chill are a couple of my recent faves!

[@dinabroydo]

Have you explored any of the nest scents or perfume oils? Would be curious on your thoughts.

[@tracef195]

I loved the whipped cherry. It smells so good

[@Champagnemami27]

I had the same feeling with sweet nothings, please Skylar, if you are reading this🙏🏼

[@joesel23]

I’m glad you are here! 😊 curious what you think of me from snif, I personally was not a fan. Definitely want to see advents you haven’t showed us yet!

[@orlando_whistlecraft]

Love, love, love all your videos, especially the Advent calendars. Pls edit them & let us enjoy them.

[@carlyeslinger]

Happy new year, Lauren! A top ten or most-used from 2024 would be fun. Or if you want, just move on… it doesn’t matter😊

[@archistic1]

The notes on the Skylar scent of the month got me to resubscribe!😊

[@AribellaAC]

Whipped Cherry smells like Cloud to me but with added cherries! It’s a little medicinal, so it’s not my fav, but it’s not bad. I didn’t like the new Black Opium. It smelled… like floral. Mixed with the OG. I didn’t like it at all. It smelled like something familiar, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. Meh. There’s better out there. I didn’t even smell marshmallow for real. I don’t like any of the Noyz fragrances. They all smell terrible to me. 😂 The Delicia Drench body wash is INSANE! I love it!

[@Rose-l7n1x]

Cherry jolly rancher was a great description and brought back the feels

[@misztori]

I am a Skylar scent club member and have been since they started it! I am hoping like hell that Skylar makes Sweet Nothings a core fragrance! I’m obsessed with it! I am also lovingggg Milk & Chill!

[@kristasweetleaf5695]

Yeah im gonna need that ellis marshmallow ❤ love ya L

[@cindyh303]

Thank you for this video! I'm very interested in a few of these now! Need to get out and smell them! ❤

[@AirBeat-lk3pl]

Had you tried chocolat hazelnut from le monde gourmand? Found it at Marshall’s (equivalent to TJMax) for about 16$ and it reminds me of by the fireplace but with a less intense smoke note and maybe a bit of chocolate added

[@jellybun12]

I’m taking your advice now cause I bought something you recommended and it’s actually so good it’s changing my lif3 😊

[@meganknight9775]

You’re doing so great! If you’re wanting to do a 2024 wrap-up, maybe it could be like the “best take” on each of a few 2024 trends. like the brand that did the best strawberry note or the brand that did the best baccarat-esque scent

[@mary.b.93]

I got the Sweet Nothings rollerball from Skylar and I literally immediately thought of you!! I was actually wondering if they may have been trying to dupe Yum Boujee Marshmallow.

[@sabrinayoung3822]

I think I would love whipped cherry! I love the sound of cherry, pineapple & whipped cream notes. I use to eat these popsicles that were pineapple cherry flavored and I loved the smell and have wanted a perfume or body spray with those notes ❤🍍🍒

[@AirBeat-lk3pl]

So excited for this video! :)

[@thejulietocean]

Whipped cherry is soooooo gooood 👌🏼 finally another good one in the line 😂 I feel like I hated everything except clean reserve skin

[@lesliejones8462]

Would love to see the advents! Breathe and do you. Love your content!

[@loribreitbarth2215]

I love Instant Crush. Need to try Golden Rule for sure…. Post the advent calendar videos. I love watching them AFTER Christmas. High entertainment value and I love watching your videos ❤❤

[@kyndalpagan7545]

The jo malone is such a nice version of intense cafe so much smoother

[@loriwilson6079]

Love, love, love The Maker Dream

[@ssaammaanntthhaa123]

Maybe you have already done it, but could you do a best dupe ranking for BR 540?

[@Yyuuww]

Girl I am a new sub (as of yesterday) and big fan of your videos! So transparent and educational love love it 🥰

[@Rachel-ws8bc]

Really excited to try Golden Rule - the solar notes give me hope that it won't be too floral for me. Also want to try Taif Rose (even though I don't usually like florals, Rose can be amazing when done well). Love the Salt & Stone Bergamot & Hinoki body mist, so definitely want to try their new one. Also the Lake & Skye looks really interesting for summer.

[@jenniferbirly8717]

I love the Skylar scent club! It's actually the only subscription I still get. I think you will love Milk & Chill. It smells so yummy!

[@Champagnemami27]

Please do a fragrance collection 🙏🏼

[@gabrielaart1]

We definitely want to see the advent calendars! 🥰

[@eg3933]

Best vanillas & best gourmands!!! For the wrap up !

[@mandyc5842]

Great video, can you do one on the strongest projecting vanilla?

[@StephSA08]

I wish they did what they did with over red but instead of adding the cherry to the la parfum DNA, just added marshmallows

[@ShaileshPatel-gx1rl]

i know this isn’t the place for it, but i kept seeing Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane mentioned over and over in comments, and curiosity finally got the better of me. i read the book, and honestly, it’s one of the most practical guides to understanding manifestation i’ve ever seen. it’s not about instant results, but you can feel the difference as you apply what it teaches. seeing how people respond to me now, i totally get why it’s all over the comments.

[@ladyaarion]

I love your advent calendar videos! Please do upload them!

[@cindyh303]

Id love a dupe video for like bath&body works and finery at target. Both stores have dropped dupes recently. ❤ love to hear your opinions!

[@eyeheartyou]

You are spot on about boardwalk delight, I love spun sugar cotton candy scents but something about boardwalk doesn’t do it for me. But sweet nothings is exactly what I wanted/expected boardwalk to be. I hope sweet nothings is made permanent.

[@beans2222]

Boardwalk has that clean bathroom / pink school handsoap smell to me :(

[@Lauraa0819]

Yeah same here!

[@karlatope4923]

oh i missed the new Jo Malone fragrance, I recently smelled Orange Blossom from that house and wow, I could see me wearing that as my signature scent for sure.

[@meemeee1]

Def would enjoy the advent calendars! An hearing your top 10 of 2024! Have a question for you all...best true coffee scent, like fresh brewing morning coffee!! Also does anyone have a good recommendation for something very similar to baby phat golden goddess?

[@laurenmaefragrance]

I really love Akro Awake for a coffee scent! That to me is more of a true ground coffee scent but if you want a more sweet coffee latte I like Mancera Amour Caffè. That one is very vanillic and sweet though!

[@Witchway666]

I definitely want to try the new Sweet Nothings by Skylar. Cotton Candy fragrance's are my favorite. I wish someone would make a Cotton candy perfume that smelled the same from beginning to end. ❤❤

[@pamelabrown8467]

Thanks for sharing your video 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🤩

[@Ekaterin44]

Plur Golden Rule smells exactly like Jimmy Choo I want Choo, they even have the same notes of mandarin and jasmine

[@genflo29]

If you want you could do a top 24 perfumes of 2024❤

[@larrekabell]

whipped cherry smells like cloud mixed with the new kayali boujee marshmallow

[@EarthymoonPhotos]

I want to watch whatever videos you make!

[@brckaboo]

Thanks for reviewing the Skylar scent club!! I subscribe and I’m always curious to know what you think about the monthly scents!! ❤

[@asmitkumarsingh8417]

i know this isn’t related to the video, but i kept seeing people talk about the book Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane in the comments of so many videos. at first, i thought it was just hype, but i gave in and read it. honestly, it’s been a game-changer. it’s not just about “thinking positive”-it really breaks down how to align your energy with what you want in a way that feels real. seeing little shifts in my own life now, i can see why so many people swear by it.

[@Motley14]

Yes to the advent calendar videos! Also for other ideas: Finery at Target just launched a bunch of new perfumes/body sprays. Not sure if they're supposed to be dupes but I'm interested!

[@caithenry8429]

Yes this! And also the dupes BBW released as well!

[@muddyotterspottery569]

I think I would like to see your top 10 of 2024

[@yuyul9692]

Love your take on those Advent calendars and your spicy comments😂 so will love for you to review the remaining calendars!! I felt the same way about the Snif winter candle...it's interesting.

[@julianaglumac9804]

I love the new Jo Malone Taif Rose. I think it’s something really different for them.

[@iiconicvirgo]

I love gourmand!

[@Light-tc8xc]

Didn’t think I’d be seeing a reference to Taif, Saudi in this video. Right when I am studying the seerah, too! IYKYK
