“Your Skin But Better” Fragrances

[@MyLifeWendy]

I do not understand why you are not at 1m or more. You are such a beautiful story teller and I just adore your style.

[@marneyjurist-rosner5260]

Would you do a bedtime fragrance video ? That’d be amazing. This video is very very good with excellent information. Thanks so much 😄

[@mia_sant_46]

Can't have enough of the You Skin But Better videos. I especially appreciate the subtle distinction made between these since the fragrances share such a commonality. (In this genre, it is particularly important to hear this.) Thanks, Anne. Keep this vibe going !!!

[@jennettecolon7772]

Yesterday I was at a park with family and it was hot but breezy. My mom was sitting near me and she asked me, "What are you wearing? I've been smelling you this whole time, and it smells so good!" I had clean reserve skin. She was really wowed by it and couldn't explain the smell.

[@AnneLauren]

omg I can imagine!! What a dream 😄✨

[@M.B.V88]

A little late to the party, but OH MY GOD!! I get another 13 now😱🤩😍🙌🏻👏🏻 The first few times I tried it and felt like I couldn’t really smell anything - went back a couple of months later and tried it again, and I don’t know if my nose has changed or if it is just magic, but I suddenly can’t get over how GORGEOUS this perfume is!!🎉🤩🥰 I am so happy my nose finally cooperated🤣👍🏻 Thank you so much for your always lovely channel and recommendations🥰🙌🏻🤗

[@Gloria0667]

Ella K Musc K is incredible. I’ve gone through 4 samples. I’m now debating between Musc K and Musc Moschus by Rania J.

[@sk_abstract_art]

Musc Moschus is soooo good! I finally broke down and got it

[@gogojojo2718]

Add Dedcool Xtra Milk to this line up 😍

[@Golden__Betty]

I don't know what by DS & Durga has been my favorite lately. It's so good on It's own and makes other perfume smell so much better

[@supriyamanoj1985]

I know you dislike Narciso Rodrigues but Pure Musc from NR is my Goto in this category. I just feel clean and nice and get compliments when I am in close proximity. I am intrigued by Another 13. I Have to try it. Great video as usual.

[@AnneLauren]

For sure! I know there are many people who love fragrances from that line 🥰

[@jacquelinecampbell3167]

Pure Musc is actually the only one I like from their line. It’s different than the others and so lovely.

[@mariadelarosa2867]

LOVE Tahara vanilla! It smells like cuddling with your man skin to skin. It’s so sensual and warm but clean. Definitely addicting ! So happy with my blind buy too

[@AnneLauren]

yesss 😍✨

[@mia_sant_46]

Great job detailing the nuances (often subtle) between frags in the same / similar family. Love, love, love this category.

[@karathomas5746]

I am craving fresh skin scents this summer. People always seem to compliment me when I wear clean reserve skin and Phlur Missing Person, even though I don’t even really smell them on myself. And my dialed up version is initio Musk Therapy, constant compliments with that one. I really want to try Ella K Musk K and Sonic flower!

[@georgianapetreaa]

This is my favourite category for the summer😍 especially on very hot days ❤️ my favourites and what I would recommend as your skin but better are Panthea from SHL, L'Eau Papier from Diptique and Apollonia from Xerjoff❤️ I also love Angel Dust from Fuggazi, the original one, I have yet to try the extrait❤️

[@mariafox9232]

I ended up buying Another 13, Arizona Bloom, Clean Reserve Skin AND Sunny Side Up all because of YOU lol. Looks like I have a bunch more to check out now!

[@putriwachid1848]

Try Valaya by PDM

[@jenniferocampo3873]

I sampled Blue Talisman at your recommendation in another video and fell in love. Maybe not a skin scent but for me this is the only perfume that mixes well with me when I’m active, playing tennis and just love the muskiness and pear note. Phenomenal. Have to get Musc K, I love these scents for bedtime as well

[@AScentedSoul]

I love skin scents by many brands. Recently I’ve used at least 4 from Juliette Has A Gun and let me just say … they do a musk and they do it well. Oh my goodness. I know Not a Perfume is one of the most popular from the brand but I am in love with Mmmm and Musc Invisible. They’re amazing❤

[@karenwashington757]

Le Labo Another 13 is on another level! It smells so good and has like the least amount of ingredients. It's a masterpiece for simplicity!! ❤

[@AnneLauren]

seriously!! 🤍

[@TheGwenH]

This year I've been on the hunt for my favourite fluffy musk fragrance. I sampled a lot, from niche to designer but absolutely fell in love with Musc K. For me, it's less of a 'your skin but better' and more of a 'clean, fuzzy, cozy vibe.' The longevity and projection is excellent for a musk. Can't wait for my bottle! P.s I watch a lot of perfume channels and reviews, but my personal taste in fragrance aligns with yours the most so I pay extra attention to your videos!

[@AnneLauren]

Aw that's great! If you ever have recommendations I'd love to hear them! 😄

[@justjovy3]

Another 13 is on another level, IMO. I'm babysitting my sample, but I can't wait to get a full bottle of this fragrance 😊❤

[@febbykemala6875]

been my fav frag too! the smells blend so well to my skin 💚

[@melise5304]

ANNE! I have been layering clean reserve with sunny side up! It’s amazing and makes the clean reserve last longer!

[@AnneLauren]

that sounds lovelyyy! 😍

[@Vwer-zv8gk]

Love this category! Give Aesop perfume a try, same DNA. If you love Another 13, definitely you will love Aesop Karst🤍

[@AzaraAlexyi]

Musc Moschus forever this fragrance is insanely good :) for me it's a fluffy caramel but yeah very very good with a beast mode performance :)

[@amandahodge3809]

My fave category everrr!!! I sadly decluttered musc k by Ella k but it’s sooo beautiful! It was just so hard for me to choose amongst that scent, sonic flower,glossier You and Fleur de Peau by diptyque. I decided to keep glossier and Fleur de Peau, but you’re absolutely correct when you said that Musc k is the longest lasting!!! And yesss Another 13 is one I can not go without. Also I don’t know what by DS&Durga is one of my faves!!!!

[@AnneLauren]

Aw I totally understand! I don't like to have redundancy in my collection either, gotta go with your favorite! 🥰

[@alyshaevans1133]

Can you pleaseee do a video of your favorite nutty perfumes?

[@katherinesr]

I’ve almost finished the bottle of Sunny Side Up I bought on your recommendation. Love it!

[@AnneLauren]

🥹 I'm so happy to hear that!!

[@DoloresAdi-gp3xg]

Hi Anne! I get so excited when you post a new video, you are my favorite perfume reviewer ❤ I think almost half of my collection is based on your recommendations, so thank you! I know you've reviewed individually a few Ex Nihilo fragrances, but I would love an entire house review video, if you would be into that 😊

[@AnneLauren]

Thank you!! That is so sweet 🥹🤍 I think that'd be a good brand to do a review on!

[@Iheartmusic301]

I blind bought Fugazzi Angel Dust based on your review; so good! ✨

[@Lulu-kt6gr]

I’m enjoying Shade by Lush. It layers well with everything and is fresh and woody on its own!

[@aliciaeyres5593]

Yaaaay 🎉 my favorite category 💝

[@jjeennnnnn]

Layer Skin with Hempz Age Defying Peptides Plus Caffeine. The scents are so similar!!!!

[@AnneLauren]

Ooo 😍

[@Alexis78907]

My favorite category. I have a travel size of Sonic Flower, Phlur’s Soft Spot, and finally getting my Musc Moschus delivery tomorrow after waiting for 2 months because it was back-ordered! I am really interesting sniffing Ella K.

[@AnneLauren]

Oh my gosh so exciting!! 🎉

[@Tracylyn42]

I have sonic flower and I do like it. Glossier You also but it doesn’t last long on me. But yet my daughter it lasts forever.

[@Borntobemade]

My favorite category of fragrances 🥰

[@getgloss]

anne, just curious if you have tried an ode to dullness and if you have any thoughts on it? i saw it being featured on similar clean skin scents and wanted your pov

[@jh115]

Sunny Side Up layers great on top of Coconut Nanas too x

[@AnneLauren]

that sounds so yummy!

[@AirBeat-lk3pl]

I also really like Pillowtalk Poet by Pinrose and Rosie by Rosie Jane in the « your skin but better » category.

[@Journeyofamomdoc]

Love love this video ❤ I am kindly requesting a luxury body wash video - I am a dr I cannot wear perfumes most of my life so I love the smell of the body washes etc - for example I went to 4-5 star hotels and the body washes body gels some of them were just insanely great! So I am a huge fan - that would be awesome - with that said I am going to try so many of these perfumes based on this video

[@AnneLauren]

Thank you! ❤️ Unfortunately I'm not the best person to ask because my skin is sensitive to a lot of body wash products, 😩 so I use fragrance free, sensitive skin soap/body wash

[@nathanielmoody3656]

Have you tried Arquiste Peau and if so where would you rank it?

[@RikaStinka]

I know I like 6 on this list I think I need to try them all, this is my fav category LoL. Funny enough these type of scents get me the most compliments! Let me wear something bold and daring.. *crickets*, but let it be a simple woody skin musk and im getting followed & sniffed like a hound😂

[@AnneLauren]

hahah I believe it!! 😆 There's something so attractive about them!

[@ali.cali-kat]

Love these suggestions! I always try to be mindful about the fragrances I wear to the office, so this category is perfect. Great video, as always, thank you, Anne!

[@AnneLauren]

Thank you!!

[@MelinaF1923]

I purchased tahara vanilla after you mentioned it in a recent video. I absolutely love it! I have to check out some other ones you suggest in this video. You always have the best recommendations!

[@AnneLauren]

[@Marta_W-K]

“Are you God’s favorite?” 😅 Another 13 is in my top 10 for life and I discovered it thanks to you Anne 💛 I also love Lumiere Blanche and Musc K in this category.

[@AnneLauren]

😆🤍 Oh my gosh I'm thrilled to hear that!! 🫶🏼

[@PurpleandMint]

Anne, you should try Sonic Flower from Room 1015. ✨

[@moniekkamphorst8740]

Hi Anne! Sunny Side Up used to have a coconut note, is the formula changed that you know of? Or was the note list wrong before on fragrantica? I love this one so much! Never smelt the coconut actually😃

[@AnneLauren]

I'm actually not sure! When typing up the description box, I went to add a link for Sunny Side Up, and saw that the notes looked different on the Twisted Lily website than Fragrantica, so I went to check the official Juliette Has a Gun site, and the notes matched with Twisted Lily's. So I edited the note breakdown to reflect what the official site states. I haven't heard of this one being reformulated so I'm assuming Fragrantica got it wrong? 😩 Perhaps there was a mix up because the note jasmine lactone can have a coconutty vibe to it, so maybe that's where that came from?

[@meepmoopmeep1]

@@AnneLaurenthat is so interesting! I was thinking the same thing. I have always thought of it as a coconut-sandalwood scent, so I was surprised to see no coconut!

[@moniekkamphorst8740]

⁠@@AnneLaurenI never checked the official site, and just assumed fragrantica was right because I know that many people really smell the coconut, so then it must be the jasmine lactone indeed. I will check out Twisted Lily, don’t know that site, but on Perfumo it’s also with the good notes. For me Sunny side up was always, the your skin but better woody scent. So yum ❤

[@Lady_TyTy]

Hot DAMN what a Beast of a video to discover you w! LOVE skin, wood, amber, Earth flavors of EDP's b/c my natural bo is so ginger/ambery.... Too much? TMI? meh.... 1st world problems ✝️ 🇺🇲 ❤️

[@thebridewearsblack]

Ohh I adore this category. Ds and Durga I Don't Know What is a also a good one for me. If you enjoy Sunny Side Up I think you would dig Apres Vous by Alex Simone; they share a similar profile with that same coconut note and sandalwood.

[@AnneLauren]

oh dang I've never heard of Apres Vous before, I'll have to look into that one, thank you! ❤️

[@bodacioustness5054]

Love your vid, as always. I was surprised not to see Santal Vanille on your list! Meanwhile, my current skin scent from Le Labo is Rose 31. I'm lucky the cumin doesn't go B.O. on me, I suppose but I just love it. Friends chipped in to gift it to me this month for my birthday.

[@AnneLauren]

Thank you! I absolutely adore Santal Vanille but it has a great presence and more complexity on me than what I think of for your skin but better :) That is so sweet of them!! What a lovely gift and happy birthday! 💕

[@patriciaamrhein]

Anne, have you tested the Maison Louis Marie fragrances? You’ll probably like some of them! 💙

[@AnneLauren]

I have! I love Bois de Balincourt on my boyfriend but so far there hasn't been one that I've loved for myself :)

[@MariaAzores-c3v]

Hi Anne, try Shiro (Japanese brand perfume) I love it! Especially Savon & Freesia, very good!

[@AnneLauren]

Thanks so much Anne! Absolutely love Another 13 & Musc Moschus. I broke my own rule today...blind bought Bali H'ai off Mercari🤞I feared summer might end before my sample arrived😂

[@AnneLauren]

omg! I hope you love it as much as I do! ❤️😄

[@emanitu]

Anne, I’ve been waiting for this video! Skin scents are currently my favorite category of fragrances. I just bought Tahara Vanilla, and Ivory Musk is on the way. 😁 Unfortunately, Another 13 has something repulsive to me, some one note (I also smell it in Sydney Rock Pool), but I love Arizona Bloom, Skin, Amber Vanilla, Angel Dust, and Sunny Side Up! ❤ I would also add Sonic Flower from Room 1015 to this list. BTW, I think at least half of my perfume collection comes from your recommendations. 😅 My wallet is not happy.😆

[@AnneLauren]

I love that we share so many favorites! And oh my gosh I'm honored!! so sorry to your wallet 😬🙈

Love the line-up i own a few❤

[@AnneLauren]

you have good taste! 😄

[@Krystin4786]

My favorite category! Ive been lurking in your channel for a while but I finally needed to comment! My fave in this category is Dedcool Xtra Milk. I get a lot of "You smell SO good! I keep get a whiff of you when you walk by but I just can't figure out what it is..."

[@AnneLauren]

Oh I need to get my nose on that one!! I've tried the original Milk but the "Xtra" has me intrigued 😊

[@MarniMedia]

I've been thinking about Milk and Xtra Milk and couldn't figure out which one to get for layering. I've seen some people say that they couldn't smell Milk, so Xtra Milk automatically seems like a better option (since they have the same notes but Xtra Milk just has a greater concentration). But then some people say Xtra Milk smells like cigarettes. Would you happen to have any advice as to which is better for someone who doesn't like unisex scents but wants a fragrance to layer and add more depth? Thanks!

[@Krystin4786]

@@MarniMedia I have a sample of original Milk and I couldn't smell it much. For me the Xtra Milk has been perfect for layering because it is oil based and makes whatever I use last longer. To me the vibe of it is fresh like laundry detergent (which they also make in this scent) but it's got a creaminess to it, and also maybe a faaaint JHAG NAP thing going on? I try a lot of samples and when I get one that is too sharp for me, I use the Xtra Milk to smooth everything out. I would say it leans more warm and cozy.

[@MarniMedia]

@@Krystin4786 Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this to me...I really appreciate it! I'll be be getting the Xtra Milk to use just like you do. ☺

[@AngelMC11]

All perfect choices Anne! Whenever you get to try Casa Blanca by House of Bo, it will definitely fit in this category.

[@AnneLauren]

I loveee that one! 🤍 For me it’s got more “umph” to it than what I think of for your skin but better, but it’s a beautiful, unique, clean smelling fragrance for sure 🥰

[@clemoore682]

Thanks for such an amazing video. Please can you share or do a video on fragrances that are reminiscent of the scent of a magazine. I googled it and the results were Le Papier Whispers in the library. Santal 33

[@taliyah334]

No l’eau papier? No le musc et la peau? No molecule 01? :0

[@AnneLauren]

L’eau Papier I haven’t tried but I haven’t gravitated towards it as I’m not a fan of mimosa or sesame, Le Musc & La Peau was a like and had poor performance for me, and I’m unfortunately anosmic to Molecule 01

[@androi999]

L’eau papier for me smells like clean skin of a newborn babies head and very cozy and elegant at the same time .
