Oh my gosh the “Best Friend’s House” description! Tache de Café is like hugging my grandma, but I can’t tell my husband that about his signature scent, it doesn’t smell LIKE Gran! but it smells like how it feels to be hugged by someone safe and good, the Best Friend’s House effect, and it suits him so perfectly
Just tell him that, that "it smells like how it feels to be hugged by someone safe and good" that will probably be his favorite compliment of his perfume
Oh my god I was blown away by Tache de Cafe! Its the only Le Monde Gourmand fragrance I've bought and I wasn't expecting it to be that cozy and special.
@@maxgarcia1454 Echoing this, it's one of the best cheapies for the Autumnal season. Love the roasted coffee and dark chocolate combo which isn't cloying.
Hey... so "doux" actually means soft in french. And since it is meant to be the softer take on You... it actually makes sense hahah. Hope this helps you tell them apart better :) dont die on that hill hahah
Stuck in bed on my period + my birthday is literally tomorrow and I'm cramping like a mf, so cuddling in for a perfume video is giving me LIFE. I don't have a lot of perfumes, I have two purse sprays, but I bought a bag of sample sizes at Ulta and I'm so glad I did
Hey Emma, I blind bought Liis choux choux and when I first sprayed it I was a little disappointed, it came off as a really stingy lime coconut scent. For some reason the opening reminded me a little of skylar lime sands. Not what I was expecting at all considering the notes listed for choux choux. But I thought "oh well, I'll still wear it because I paid enough for it" but then something magical happened after wearing it for a couple days it morphed into this very airy but cozy gourmand. The deep drydown is amazing, at least for me. Now I can't get enough of it and it is a compliment getter.
The first like ten or twelve sprays sometimes are the juice that's been sitting in the tube for a good while... I never trust the first try when fresh out of the box
@JulieDeuxFois wow, i never knew this!!! Im gonna spritz all my new perfumes a few times now before applying. It all makes sense to me now, like the person above. I have hated perfumes right out of the box, and then I ended up really liking them when I revisited
@@groggyfroggy5 it's been my experience sometimes that the first spritz have 'turned' (smell like vinegar or old wet carpet) or isn't as potent. Let's not fear 'wasting' a few sprays... chances are if you're like me, you have literally liters of perfume😅 enough to last for decades
Hey Emma! Recent subscriber & follower of your socials- just want to say how much I appreciate your detailed descriptions. For someone newly into the fragrance world, I feel like I learn something new in every video! And also you're just lovely
I love watching all of your hauls because you say whether you like it or not but then you really get into the fine details. You stress getting a sample first. You are cautious about hyping a fragrance. You are really thoughtful of your viewers. Though I do appreciate beast mode fragrances and bonkers longevity is a plus to me if I enjoy the scent. I put loud perfumes in a roller ball to quiet them down and be precise in my application. Here's a talking point that might be controversial, if your fragrance can be smelled from a mile away what about the consent of other people? Consent is so important in whether or not someone wants to be touched but if I'm smelling your fragrance in another aisle it's touching me. Yes, it's just air but it's invasive, right? It's silent screaming. Sure, I can leave the area most times but if someone touches you without asking and runs away that's not okay. This just came to me as I was writing this comment.
Oh, I just wear beast-mode perfumes straight up. They make me happy so I don't care. There are a lot of people that wear perfumes that are yucky to me and I don't say anything. So, no. Perfume and makeup are personal. The only exception is if you wear it when someone is allergic or in a medical setting where you are not supposed to wear anything with fragrance, not even deodorant nor antiperspirant. Then I am respectful.
I think that you cannot compare a perfume wafting into the aisle you are in to a stranger touching you. There is absolutely not comparison there. People pass gas and that gets picked up by air and circulated in a store so you will smell it even though it wasn't you. But while that is inconvenient and even repulsive and you might question their manners that cannot be compared to someone physically laying a hand on you. What do you say to chemical companies that release chemicals [that are more often than not harmful] into the air? You can't sue them for "touching you" with the cmpds. released in air but you can go after them if there are significant health adverse effects. Perfume doesn't pose (for most people who do not have respiratory system problems and who are exposed very briefly) such detrimental adverse effects. Hope you understand my argument.
Emma, all these l'eau papier/glossier you type of smells remind me of the old KENZO Amour, except for the Amour being so so so much better... KENZO AMOUR EAU DE PARFUM A sensual musky woody floral fragrance, inspired by the sensations of a journey of love. Cherry and Frangipani blossoms, woods, incense from here, Thanaka wood from elsewhere, Rice, White Tea and a touch of Vanilla. Created by Daphné Bugey and Olivier Cresp.
Yeah lefty, it makes a difference to us, it's the Lil things, I went to Tim's once and gave the girl my cup to fill, pre covid, she asked if I was a right or lefty and put the cover on so that the handle was lefty, I was so touched, no one ever asked or cared b4😊
I just want to say that I appreciate how you do not try to wear full makeup- you are in the hoodie, no makeup, but you added a nice touch of earrings. Thank you for being you ✨💗
Fellow leftie here and things like that drive me nuts its the assumption everyone is right handed that irks me. I take fragrantica with a giant pinch of salt for that very reason given how sometimes people are just not accurate. This was so fun to watch.
just blind bought (oops, from the sephora sale at least!) lover by the maker at your recommendation for fall and oh my gosh, it is so good!! super unique to my collection! I just found your channel and am obsessed 🥹
You are the best!!! Your knowledge of perfumery and your immaculate taste in perfumes make your videos the best of its genre 🥰 When I try the perfumes that you recommend I am never disappointed. I also found a new joy in life, ordering perfume samples is becoming my monthly guilty pleasure haha (less expensive than blind buying and funnier because I can try many many niche perfumes) 🥰🤍 Love from France !
When Ariana Grande was just on Saturday Night Live in the States, she was in a sketch called "My Best friend's house". That's all I could think of when you were talking about You Doux 😂 the sketch has a real twist
The comment "the top reminded me of cork....because it is....." just made me laugh so hard! And your expression! Thanks for a full on belly laugh to start my day! 🤣😂😉
I received a free sample of Story of Your Life. The smell made me really uncomfortable. It disturbed me and took me straight back to my childhood. It was a very small sample, thankfully. I threw it in the trash. Strange how a fragrance can really bring out some (negative) visceral reactions.
It’s been the busiest work day and I’m calmed by the chance to unwind while you discuss perfumes for an hour. Thank you ❤ Also, are you planning to review the new Kayali perfume? I think it’s called bougie marshmallow
The one fragrance TH-camr I actually believe and continue to watch. You are not on here to SELL me something with a code. You’re not on here HYPING every single fragrance that gets sent to you for free. You’re not on here telling us that “We just got to have it!” And man I appreciate that sooo much ❤ You actually study perfume. You’re not on here just smelling, you’re tellin and I love that! I bought Reve and returned it. Lasts maybe an hour. Not worth it at all.
Fragrantica also says God Bless Cola from versatile has BUTTER and peanut… I came to find out it’s actually a *peanut butter* note, which makes so much more sense!! When I realized that, I was like “YES!! That’s IT!”
The way I can clean my whole house while listening to this. Also I have 2 blind buys on the way rn but the post office is soooo slow so thank you for letting me live vicariously through you
I love Story of Your Life but I agree that it's a bit messy at first. I've had my bottle for a month and I actually think it matured and got better. As to d'Orsay, you really need to try Sur tes lèvres ❤ It's so simple yet beautiful.
Ah! Scentrique! I've been to that store and they have so many scents I've been wanting to try. They were fresh out of Lyra (Lira? sp?) when I visited but otherwise was so happy to have found them!❤
I'm SOOO HAPPY I found your channel!! I'm binging a lot of your videos rn. I am finding we have a good amount of similar tastes, but even if I didn't I enjoy how you describe them. Blind buying perfumes is not my preference but I have a lot of anxiety shopping and some health issues. Soooo, on that note THANK YOU❤ and btw thanks for honest and even the little weird quirky things about fragrances.
I love your honest take on fragrances. It's so appreciated, and why I continue to click every video you post, even if I'm not interested in the fragrances. Correction: now I'm buying velvet infusion. D&G need to hook you up.😂
Could you make a video on sad/depressing perfumes? I know it may sound a bit strange though. I've seen someone saying Black Orchid may be way too sad and depressing and that made me wonder whether it's true that some scents may have this feeling to it. On the contrary, are there perfumes that are kind of "euphoric"? It's really exciting that scents can have a feeling attached to them.
I love wearing Crushed Fruits. Regime des fleurs are definitely a favourite for me. I ordered a few samples of the Bottega Veneta fragrances. They look amazing and love a handblown bottle: beautiful 💚
Saying “doux” smells like your best friend’s house really resonated with me. I remember the first time I smelled JHAG “not a perfume”. A woman in my trivia group wore it to every trivia night. Eventually I had to ask what she was wearing because it smelled identical to my best friends house in middle school
This is off topic but I’ve had a bottle of Goutal Hadrian’s Wall that I’ve had forever. Ok, maybe 15 years. I don’t wear it often (almost never) 3:29 but it still smells the same to me. We’ve moved to Europe and back twice, with cargo ships carrying our stuff. Could this be possible or has it changed and I’ve not picked up on it. It’s always been kept from light and heat. Except for the sea- going cargo ships. Can perfumes be kept longer than we think? And thank you for all your work. Your approach is rational and measured. Then you give us your personal preferences. I’m sure that all of your training and lab classes led to your adopting a scientific approach to perfumery.
Love this video I have the same feeling about Reve and the name lol! But for me I'm the opposite of Glossier you and doux.. You works well with me (the slight pencil shavings vibe I think comes from the pink pepper rather than ambroxan, sonic flower has a similar vibe) but doux just completely clashes with me and doesn't like me at all and I could smell it the entire day on my skin having this sort of B.O vibe. So interesting how different people have different experiences
Hi! I’m really inspired by your journey at ISIPCA. Could you share how you got into the program? Did you study chemistry or a related field before applying? It would be amazing if you could make a video about your experience and give some tips for aspiring students. Thanks!
I shouldn't be surprised, but always am by how fragrance can smell so different on everyone. Glossier You stays on me and my clothes for ages, and Doux definitely lasted longer than Reve because I desperately tried to get it off my skin and it would. not. budge. Doux I expected to love and somehow smelled unwashed and pickley on me, confirmed by my partner. By the Fireplace is the only other demi-gourmand I like and own fullsize, so Reve seems to be a gourmand for people who dont normally like gourmands. I do find Reve lasts all day when layered with the You solid.
Doux also means soft. I don't like Glossier You at all. I couldnt smell anything. I prefer beast-mode perfumes. I can get behind *some* skin fragrances but some I cannot smell at all.
Hi, i read somewhere that spraying perfume on the back of your neck is bad because the back of the neck produces sebum which can alter the scent. Is this true? Also in the winter, where on your clothing do you spray? The sleeves, the torso, or do you just spray and walk through?
Came here because of the Bottega bottle in the thumbnail, was watching Hannah Louise Poston recently and she was kind of roasting the bottle design 💀 I had to hear how the scent itself is
I already wanted to get my nose on the Bottega fragrances... now I am DESPERATE to smell them! Your reactions have made them even more intriguing, anyone know where in the UK I can try them?!
hey, what are your thoughts and opinions for victoria's secret body mists ? i really wanna buy one but i'm not so sure. my last experience was good though!
OH MY GOD I am so happy that you called out Glossier on their right-handed bottles, haha, I absolutely love the original You but I always notice this when I hold the bottle ;) Really curious to try out the new ones, but I find them too expensive to blind buy :'(
Had so much fun watching this! I loveeeee the bottega bottles and need to get my nose on the discovery set asap. As an original Glossier You lover I was pretty dissapointed in the new ones. Reve had a weird stank and Doux was a bit basic to me. I'd still like to get ahold of some samples and test outside the store to give them a fair shot though.
Will you please please please do a video on clean fresh scents? Im talking like specifically ones that smell like sexy laundry detergent 😂 I can’t seem to find the ONE !! Love & trust your opinions so much!! Xoxo
@ my pleasure and as a fellow Canadian I need to tell you awesome content really interesting and very helpful to not feel overwhelmed with so many options
I have the same "butter-orris" issue with fragrantica 🤣 so annoying!!! It happened before with some other perfume, I wrote about it on the forum (topic: Absences, Corrections of Notes) and they've corrected the notes. I just let them know about these two Bottega scents 😉👍
I love these videos 😻 I ended up liking Glossier Reve more than I thought I would because I don’t typically like gourmands and I felt like the Glossier Doux goes beast mode on me. Like I will smell Doux on myself when I go to bed after wearing it all day from the morning. So crazy that it doesn’t last long on you! I really disliked the merit one, it felt very outdated like an 80’s fragrance, but I’m happy other people are liking it 😁 Thanks for these videos! 🫶
Please nominate a perfume that uses a night blooming jasmine as a main note,, there are some perfumes that contains it, but unfortunately it does not appear clearly and purely For example, If I'm looking for a grapefruity perfume, so L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Fraiche Issey Miyake is a choice as a clear and main Grapefruit scent perfume.. At the same pace .. I want to have a Perfume that cosidred as night blooming jasmine scent perfume
You Doux smells like the lobby of a spa or like…the incense sticks in a high-end store’s bathroom to me. Love the scent but I feel like it’s better suited as a room spray if that makes any sense lol
I am aware that “Doux” means “soft” in French.
Thank you to everyone who pointed this out:)
the fact that this video is almost an hour long is giving me LIFE
Yeeeeeeees!!!
Agree agree what is this rumor that videos have to be short??
YESSS I've been SO STRESSED this week and it's so nice to just listen while doing my skincare routine and trying to self-care
I really appreciate that you can discuss the more technical aspects of perfumery in a simple way the average consumer can understand.
Oh my gosh the “Best Friend’s House” description!

And to use their 10% off code when the fragrance is 400$ PLUS 😂 LIKE please tell me what 10% is gonna do for me?

I fell in love with plum in the Chloe Nomade line. It's tart and piquant smell is a great citrus alternative.

Would love to hear your thoughts on Marissa Zappas’s perfumes
Came here because of the Bottega bottle in the thumbnail, was watching Hannah Louise Poston recently and she was kind of roasting the bottle design 💀 I had to hear how the scent itself is
I already wanted to get my nose on the Bottega fragrances... now I am DESPERATE to smell them! Your reactions have made them even more intriguing, anyone know where in the UK I can try them?!
hey, what are your thoughts and opinions for victoria's secret body mists ? i really wanna buy one but i'm not so sure. my last experience was good though!
OH MY GOD I am so happy that you called out Glossier on their right-handed bottles, haha, I absolutely love the original You but I always notice this when I hold the bottle ;) Really curious to try out the new ones, but I find them too expensive to blind buy :'(
Hi Emma, do you have Lanvin in your collection? What's your take on Lanvin Modern Princess edt and edp?
Had so much fun watching this! I loveeeee the bottega bottles and need to get my nose on the discovery set asap. As an original Glossier You lover I was pretty dissapointed in the new ones. Reve had a weird stank and Doux was a bit basic to me. I'd still like to get ahold of some samples and test outside the store to give them a fair shot though.
Will you please please please do a video on clean fresh scents? Im talking like specifically ones that smell like sexy laundry detergent 😂 I can’t seem to find the ONE !! Love & trust your opinions so much!! Xoxo
hi emma! have you ever tried vanille abricot by comptoir sud pacifique? if so any thoughts?
Have you reviewed Dolce & Gabbana Devotion??
i’m crying over the beginning tho😭🤣🤣
Love plum note!
doux doesn’t mean sweet it’s more like soft 🤔 or like when you’re touching a fluffy cozy jacket you can say it’s doux
Thank you!!!
@ my pleasure and as a fellow Canadian I need to tell you awesome content really interesting and very helpful to not feel overwhelmed with so many options
Can you pls do reviews of classic fragrances? Now I want to know about Jicky!
We love long videos!!!
Off topic, Emma, what are the earrings you’re wearing with a green shirt? They are so beautiful!
I have the same "butter-orris" issue with fragrantica 🤣 so annoying!!! It happened before with some other perfume, I wrote about it on the forum (topic: Absences, Corrections of Notes) and they've corrected the notes. I just let them know about these two Bottega scents 😉👍
We NEED a Mizensir brand review IM BEGGING
Doux means soft not sweet in French
google translate says it can mean both! I’m not french tho, just canadian haha
I love these videos 😻
I ended up liking Glossier Reve more than I thought I would because I don’t typically like gourmands and I felt like the Glossier Doux goes beast mode on me. Like I will smell Doux on myself when I go to bed after wearing it all day from the morning. So crazy that it doesn’t last long on you!
I really disliked the merit one, it felt very outdated like an 80’s fragrance, but I’m happy other people are liking it 😁
Thanks for these videos! 🫶
Though confusing, Doux also means Soft in French not just Sweet & Soft would make more sense for the scent.
Agreed!
Please nominate a perfume that uses a night blooming jasmine as a main note,, there are some perfumes that contains it, but unfortunately it does not appear clearly and purely
For example,
If I'm looking for a grapefruity perfume, so L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Fraiche Issey Miyake is a choice as a clear and main Grapefruit scent perfume..
At the same pace .. I want to have a Perfume that cosidred as night blooming jasmine scent perfume
You Doux smells like the lobby of a spa or like…the incense sticks in a high-end store’s bathroom to me. Love the scent but I feel like it’s better suited as a room spray if that makes any sense lol

I love the description of “best friend’s house”. I got that vibe from Ylop from Sora Dora. Have you smelled it?
