Your description of scents is perfection. So relatable and funny! My absolute, all-time favorite vanilla is Angelique Noir by Guerlain. I just love the way that bitter green note cuts right through the rich vanilla.
Loved hearing about these! My fave vanilla fragrance I purchased last year was Cinéma by YSL. I bought the EDT but now I'd like to get the EDP. It's sooo addictive.
I love your channel! You have a great collection and a wonderful way of describing them! Love your humor and spirit! Going to go spray my YSL Manifesto on now! Many thanks!❤️
Thank you for a lovely list. Another vanilla I like is I Profumi di Firenze Vaniglia del Madagascar, better suited to winter as it has the added gourmand note of whipped cream, I don't find it sickly though. I think I Profumi di Firenze is not talked about enough, High quality and affordable too.
Absolutely love your picks!! Dior Addict is definitely one of my favorites. Metallic is unique and gorgeous. Those Laura Mercie lotions completely blew me away. I loved that vanilla scented lotion and the Creme brûlée 💕 Thanks lovely Cuz 😉💕✨
Hey Cuz! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Ooh I know you smell amazing on Addict and Metallique. So glad you enjoyed the lotions. I still want one of the body souffle tubs from Laura Mercier but waiting on a sale. 🙌🏼💖
Doesn't matter how many vanilla fragrance videos I watch, your opinion is still interesting and the point of your channel. Reminds me of that saying that makes you think about the bread aisle. So many different types of bread....doesn't stop a brand from coming out with more! Have a good weekend.
Aawww thanks Sammie! Including music is always tricky. You want it to complement, not distract. Not an easy balance to achieve. I appreciate the feedback! 💖
I have a small 8 ml of Dior addict and it is thick! But beautiful! It is so deep and dense. I’ve thought about trying to get a bigger bottle but haven’t yet. I really enjoy fresh cream warm cashmere. It’s a great anytime scent and I enjoy it at bedtime too.
Yes, thick is a great word to describe Addict. If your 8 ml is hitting the scent spot, a full bottle can wait. You don't need much of it to enjoy. The Philosophy one.... mmmm... just wish it lasted all day. Thanks for watching! 💖💖💖
Hi Veronica, your Vanilla fragrance line up is 💯. I have several in my Collection. Yes, I have been rocking Tocade since 1994 and Addict since 2002. Kayali Vanilla 28 is beautiful and great for layering. I ❤️ your reviews.
I am male, but vanilla is my favorite note in any fragrance. the ones that I know that are mainly vanilla scents besides Tobacco Vanille are "Cologne of the missions" which is a natural smelling, quiet, serious vanilla (churchy-vanilla) that is not too sweet, and it contains 2 green notes coming up in the middle after the boozy opening. these 2 herbs are perfect complementary notes. beautiful. almost everybody loves it, and it is pretty cheap, discontinued though. the only thing that could have been improved is the intensity. but if applied enough, it is doing good. longevity about 7 hours, quietly on the skin, but the 1st hour is clearly projecting a bit. and Alissa Ashley Vanille which is a playful, fizzy, sparkling lemon and jasmine vanilla.
Cologne of the Missions! 😁 Who made it? I want to look it up. Your description sounds FABULOUS! I love Tobacco Vanille also! Thanks so much for watching and sharing your fave vanillas! 💖💖💖
Oh, how I love Shalimar Soufflé de Parfum! The intense version is lovely, as well! 🥰 Just picked up LM Ambre Vanille on Mercari just a few hours ago! I have the body butter and I’m so excited to pair it with the perfume! Yummmm
I love Dior Addict. The 2002 formulation is my favorite. The most current formulation is excellent too mmmm such a great pick!!! I’ve been super curious about Casimir Chopard. People say it’s an animalic vanilla. It’s not expensive so I may blind buy it and give it away if I don’t like it. It intrigues me.
Hey Jenny! 👋 Girl! Buy that bottle. If it's no bother to you to give it away, go for it! I am finding more and more that you have to do a full wear to really understand a fragrance, and you can usually do that with bottles more so that small samples. 🤷♀️
Wonderful content! Last night I wore Lalique Le Parfum out with friends. Was loving every minute of it. The bay leaf adds a unique twist without making it too herbal or green.
Hi Veronica.. thanks for those fragrances pics.. I love Nuit a Salzburg Vanille Tabac from La Maison de la Vanille and Dior Addict. I have to check out Want and some your others suggestions.
The reference to TF Metalique…..YES! there is no shortage of amazing vanillas and I’m impressed you were able to get only a top 10! While I love a vanilla, I think I’ve grown more partial to an almond leaning fragrance. But who are we kidding, there’s room for them all!
Hey Veronica another great video!! I have a question about Dior addict. Actually a couple of questions. Do you own guierlan samsara? I just left Dillard a to put Dior addict on my skin. On the paper it smell beautiful and strong. I also sprayed on my skin and now that I’m driving home it so reminds me of samsara!! Am I crazy?? Is my nose still “growing” and developing. ( note I haven’t made it home yet had to stop by Walmart first, but when I get home I’m going to check my bottles to make sure I’m even referencing the right perfume and house. ) any help guidance would be greatly appreciated ❤️❤️❤️💐
Hi Lashonda! Hhhmmm, interesting association. Samsara and Addict do not smell alike to me; however, everyone perceives fragrance differently so perhaps they have similarities to you. Please let me know when you get home if, in fact, you are thinking of Samsara - I'd be interested to hear! Also, thank you kindly for watching!! 🥰🥰🥰
You have got to get your nose on the new Zara fragrances: Cherry Smoothie, Tropical Boost and Luminous Nectar! I have a feeling they’re gonna go up in price and sell out. They are SUCH hidden gems!!! 😍😍😍
I think it has that fuzzy and fluffy element that gives it a more ethereal feel, whereas fresh cream is a bit " thicker" in texture. Hope this helps. And you know who can send you a decant. 😉
OMG 😆 My daughter says exactly the same about Aura, Pepto Bismol perfume. On the other hand, my husband says that smells like Vicks VaporRub 🤦🏼♀️ They aren’t fans of Aura, so miss understood in my house, but I love it so much ❤️❤️❤️ It’s so unique but my family members have untrained baby noses 🤷🏼♀️
The philosophy fragrances are really nice and I love that I can share them with my daughter. Thanks for sharing! I will definitely check out the one you recommended.
Veronica, Dior Addict was my signature scent years ago. I was dating my first boyfriend back then. He is from Santo Domingo. I remember one day at his house, i had sprayed it on, his mom came in the appartment and she said "Aquí huele a perfume de mujerrrrr!!" In the cutes Dominican accent 😂 will never forget that ❤ Great perfume choices, thanks for sharing! 🌟🌟🌟
What I really like about this video is, I do not own or have not come across more than half of the fragrances listed in this video. Thank you for helping me discover more fragrances Veronica💕😊
It seems I got distracted while writing a comment. I have quite a few of these gems. I love vanilla! It's my favorite! It's on my list to film, but I'm always on the hunt for the next great vanilla. I was not a fan of Dior Addict but I'm slowly learning to appreciate her. Thanks for sharing. Veronica💜
Definitely great choices! Need to get my hands on dior addict! Could you do signature perfumes video or a all-year round perfumes? New sub here btw! Love ❤️
Hello Hifa! Thank you for watching and subbing! 💖💖💖 I have a top ten favorites videos which is close to signature fragrances. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/yzp_2Ph-BjQ/w-d-xo.html. Later this month, either next weekend or the weekend after, I am posting my most "womanly" fragrances video. Thanks!
Catching up on some videos this evening and relaxing. Ahhh! Anyway, these are some awesome fragrances for sure! Love me some vanilla! I have some of these and there are some I would like to try! I enjoy listening to you describe these scents.😊 Your eye look is so pretty too!😍 Hope everyone is off to a great week, and having a nice relaxing evening!🥰❤️
Hello Winnie! Thanks so much for watching! I too watching videos to relax. 🥰 Glad you enjoyed the video and found some you would like to try. 💖💖💖 Have a great rest of week! 🙏
I ordered Dior Addict two days ago and can't wait until she arrives! I don't think I could handle Metallique, especially if it has a similar minerally hot aluminum pan twang that I get from BR540 or Cloud.
Hi Gail! I hope you enjoy Addict. Be sure to give her a full few tries - she had to grow on me. Metallique... not sure it's an aluminum pan twang (love that description by the way) but maybe stay away just in case it comes across that way to you. Thanks for watching! 💖💖💖
Also this is not vanilla but I would love to hear your thoughts on Huda Invite Only. I got a bottle off Mercari and I am so addicted to it. I didn’t think I would like it but it’s my current favorite for cold weather.
Good question. I have never tried it. I heard it's very similar to Angels' Share, which I adore. So if that is true, then I think I'd love Invite Only! 👍
I loved the Almond Coconut scent from Laura Mercier, but it’s definitely a lazy bottle design and it’s apparently been reformulated, so it doesn’t last.
Oh! I didn't know about the reformulation. Interesting. 🤔 I guess the bottle design is supposed to be simple and classic but it comes across kinda boring 🤷♀️
What a diverse list of Vanilla fragrances🤩😍👌. I absolutely love Divine Vanille especially when it’s raining, it somehow comforts me😍😍. I saw Aura on sale last week but I’m sooo scared of that fragrance, don’t know why😩😩. Great list as always👌👌. Stay gorgeous🥰🥰.
Hi Pinkie! A lot of folks are scared of Aura 🤣 It's not the easiest fragrance to love. Divine Vanille is an EASY love - just wonderful! Thanks for watching my dear. How's the weather in South Africa 🇿🇦?
@@VeronicaSays I’m based in Johannesburg so it’s been raining heavily on and off. Some places are flooded with catastrophic results🥲🥲. February is always a bad month over here🇿🇦.
@@pinkiemtengenya6744 oh no! I didn't know that was going on. Years ago I visited Johannesburg and spent three weeks traveling the beautiful KwaZulu-Natal region of SA. Hope to return soon.
Hi Veronica, I am here for this gorgeous makeup. My favourite vanilla fragrances are: Lalique Le Perfume (for decades ago lol). Also Memo Paris "Sintra" which is a Vanilla Gourmand Baklava esque, and I am infactuated. Greetings.
Love La nuit tresor nude. It is addictive. I also bought a few days ago Dior Addict. I do not know yet if it is the one for me. I still need to test it more. Love also Kayali Vanilla 28. It is on my purchase list for the year. Another addictive Vanilla for me is JPG La belle le parfum. Love it.
Oh yeah, La Belle - both the original and intense, are GORGEOUS. What are your thoughts on Addict? I found it overwhelming and cloying at first but it grew on me tremendously over time.
I feel in the opening a very citrusy note quite sharp with vanilla. And yes, it is potent. It was not love at first sniff. But i will do a full wear test and see what i feel.
Hey Veronica, vanilla is definitely my favorite note and I have a few of these. I couldn't wait to purchase the Shalimar Soufflé but I have yet to wear her.....I need to do better. I purchased Want last year and yes, that top is juvenile which is why it's still in the box and not on display but I do like the scent. Right now my absolute favorite vanilla in my collection is hands down Confetto by Profumum Roma followed by Cuir Beluga
Ooooh I need to check out Confetto. Cuir Beluga is pretty - a friend sent me a decant. Nice! Well, there are only so many days in a year and so much skin to spray on, you know? We'll get to them all eventually. 🥰🥰🥰 Thanks for watching my dear! 😘
Obsessed with vanilla these days. I"m thinking of adding Jovoy Fire at Will to my collection. It's a very interesting take on vanilla and lasts for ever on my skin.
Hiiiiii! I really need to up my vanilla game. 😞 i own none of the frags mentioned, i had addict in my cart this month and took it out so I could get Mancera velvet vanilla instead. Maybe next month i'll finally bite the bullet and get Dior. Hopefully my sense of smell will be back soon so i can enjoy my frags again. ❤
@@VeronicaSays yeah my entire team had to work at the hospital for a couple weeks and we all got sick at the same time, the worst is over for all of us but I lost my sense of smell and taste. I'm sure my hips are'nt complaining.😂
Here in Brazil we are at the height of summer. I can't wait for autumn and winter for layer Want and Addict. Metallique and Manifesto are new to my collection, I need to use them more often. I struggle with Aura since the day I bought it, if I don't use it this winter I'll end up donating. Great video!
Hi Carolina! 👋 Yeah, Aura can be challenging for lots of people! Metallique and Manifesto would be great for when the summer starts creeping into cooler weather also. 💖 Thanks for watching!
Hi Veronica, I bought also Tangier Vanille and love it. However the performance doesn't impressed me. Did you try Vanagloria from Laboratorio Olfattivo or the most hunted Babycat from YSL?
Hi Alina! 💖 I get decent performance from Tangier Vanille, but not amazing. That's okay though. I have not tried Vanagloria although it's been recommended quite a bit. Have you tried it? I have not tried Babycat either.
@@VeronicaSays I bought a bottle of Babycat of 125 ml some weeks ago but I didn't dare to open till now. I know how it smells and for sure it's deserved the hype. I've tried here, at the KDW(Berlin). Still out of stock. Also I"m intrigued by Vanagloria because is the same parfumer, Dominique Ropion and lots of persons are saying about Babycat and Vanagloria are almost the same.
I know I am late to this video…but was researching want. Thank you for the great info. I actually love the bottle…probably because volleyball has always been a major part of my life and now my daughters…reminds me of a volleyball.🤣🤣😍😍😍😍😍
I'm very curious about Want now, I might buy it, I love vanilla 😍 My favorite vanilla's I have in my collection are Manifesto/Manifesto l'elixir, Olympea intense, Libre/libre intense
Hi gorgeous! Loving those green eye shadows! Ok, Philosophy fragrances...I love them!!!!!!!!! they're the most inoffensive fragrances you can find out there. Tangier Vanille is beautiful I recall having tried it in the summer and didn't like it and now I love it, I agree, I wouldn't wear it in the summer at all. I love Tocade and it smells extremely similar to Woman in Gold by Kilian. I agree with the bottle....😜. Never tried Vanille Cafe but have a few fragrances from Comptoir Sud Pacifique and they're really good and very unique. Ambre Vanille by Laura Mercier is stunning, my fave from that line is Tarte au Citron, it was the only fragrance I could tolerate when I was pregnant and ever since I keep it in my collection . I agree with your! "smell rich" point😜, Dior Addict is THE queen, totally .Really great video my friend
Awww thank you. Girl! This eyeshadow had several toes in the "went too far" category but I didn't have time to adjust it. 😂 I have heard that Tocade smells similar to Woman in Gold - thanks for that reminder because it calms down my FOMO! 💯 Tarte au Citron - ooooh sounds wonderful! And I know you understand my "smells rich" sidebar. 🤣 But yeah, Dior Addict actually fits that description I guess. 🥰
Veronica! We share some favourites here. I have the Wants and just received a bottle of Addict from a friend - it’s amazing! I had never smelled it until now. Racking my brain for my favourite vanilla of all time would be and I don’t think I have an answer yet. I’ll get back to you! Love the eye look! Queen! ✌🏽🧜🏻♂️♥️
I love Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere!! I used to wash my clothes in the body soap in the huge bottle!😂 You're so right though, it just doesnt last! I'm gonna have to get Addict..ive heard nothing but good things about it! A Sweet Pastry sounds DELISH! I hope I can find it- I think it'll remind me of BBW "Hello Sugar" that was out back in 2009 and discontinued- YUMMY LEMON POUNDCAKE scent!
Oooooh Bonnie! What a great idea to was things in a scented soap! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Love that. Yeah, I wish the Philosophy one lasted. 😔 If you shop on Mercari, put an alert on for A Sweet Pastry in Paris. It's worth getting your hands on. Thanks for watching! 💖
What an amazing list! Every time I hear about how do you were addict is a rich and a little bit mature send I can’t stop thinking about how are used to wear that fragrance when I was like 24 🤣 i’m so curious about Want by D squared Impossible to find in Canada and yes I agree that Is hideous 🤣
Ohh girl I over spray WANT and over spray it like crazy ( ohh and also I LOVE the bottle ! I bet you would also like the pink ginger ,not sure about the eternity comparison 🤷♀️but perhaps that’s why I love it so much
@@VeronicaSays haha love the play on words 🤣 I can find it here in Canada 🇨🇦 in Walmart of all places ,check out your Walmart and see if they have it there
OMG I totally forgot you have sweet pastry in Paris I’m so blessed to have it now thanks to Chantel,it smells to me like a hot lemon cake coming out of the oven ! I love it ,almost impossible to find now at a decent price
Hold on Aura smells like pepto? I need it then, I live that smell!! Never heard anybody refer to it like that, and that has it sold for me!! Lol!!!🙌🏼❤️
Definitely a great list! I have A Sweet Pastry and I LOVE it. I’ve wanted (pardon the pun) to try Want for a while but that bottle works my nerves 😀. TFS Veronica!
I loved hearing you talk about some of these fragrance which I've never even heard of, let alone tried. I'm fascinated and will seek some of these out now. Thank you! I think when so many people think of vanilla-heavy fragrances they think of the big guns (like Tihota) so I, for one, really enjoy being shown vanilla-forward fragrances that have different personalities. It's not always a dark march towards Kayali's 'Vanilla 28' ;D Thank you for all these options to seek out or consider in a new light. The only vanilla fragrances I take real umbrage with are the flat, insipid, dusty 'Little Tree' compositions that make me tut like a disapproving school marm. Fragrances like Juliette Has a Gun's 'Vanilla Vibes' and the dreadful citrus-dust combo that is 'Sublime Vanille' by Creed-- yikes, at that price point too! :( I'd be more likely to purchase a juvenile Kayali sugar-a-thon either of those two, any day. ;) It's why I've ordered some Kyse fragrances-- sometimes I crave some 'high school fun' fragrances, those juvenile syrupy gourmands, y'know, and there is currently room in my collection for something that fits that bill (Roses Vanille used to do it, but I'm running out and thinking of trying something new). Chris at Fragrance Nest has warned me that they're "not to be taken seriously, so just know that going in". I'm even more excited to try them now, with that in mind! I AM going to take Terri's compositions seriously, which I assume she'd want me to...no? The brand are a great intrigue to me, as are Alkemia who I've never tried. As long as I don't get awful olfactory flashbacks to my first dabbling on Etsy, all will be well. ;)
Yesss, there are so many interesting vanilla-forward fragrances to try other than the usual suspects. 💯🙌🏼 Have fun sampling Kyse! I agree with Chris - take them for what they are and don't expect masterpieces. I recently got Delizia di Marshmallow. Hate the bottle, like the fragrance.
@@VeronicaSays That's what I'm hoping will happen with me. My review on the 'branding' was/is harsh but if the fragrance itself is a terrific suprise then I'll be evangelical in singing praise for Kyse to anybody who will listen :). I'm not keen to spend alot of money on excessive 'luxury' presentation and it really is all about the fragrace for me, not the bottle or packaging etc. I'd rather pay a high price for expensive raw ingredients blended masterfully than a ridiculous presentation box. I do wonder how Terri would feel to know that everybody seems to suggest that her work is not to be taken seriously and that her creations are just amateur hour fun. It seems to be how most folks in frag comm percieve her enterprise/professional skills. I wonder what the reason is for this common evaluation of Kyse? A gourmand-focused house could be magnificent, so I don't think it's that aspect of it. And not being formally trained isn't always the reason-- Rasai Fort at Fort & Manle is self-taught and his fragrances are wonderful. I'm just going to stick to my suspicions that it's her dreadful aesthetic sensibility that partially responsible. Compared to Fort & Manle, for a good example, she's in a totally different universe.
Hi Friends! Share you favorite vanilla fragrance below! ⬇️ Thanks for spending some time with me today. 🥰
Mine is WANT LOL

what a great list! you are the QUEEN of sharing fragrances that we don't hear about anywhere else!
Thanks Julija! 🥳 I try to create varied lists, to the extent possible. Not an easy thing!
Loved hearing about these! My fave vanilla fragrance I purchased last year was Cinéma by YSL. I bought the EDT but now I'd like to get the EDP. It's sooo addictive.
I have heard great comments about Cinema! 💖 Thanks for much for watching, glad you enjoyed it! 🥰

Aawww thank you Julie!! What a kind comment. 💖💖💖 yay! Spray that beautiful fragrance about 20 times! 😁
Wonderful vanilla suggestions. Thanks! I have some of these. And, I really like Edward Scissorhands association with Metalique.
Thank you Donna! 💖 The image just popped into my head! I had to share it.
I love Hipnotic poison of Dior,,,is amazing vainilla perfum
Yes, a very nice one! Thank you for watching 💖
OK now I need to add Tocade to my list! I'm intrigued!
Julie, it's worth it! An interesting vanilla.
Thank you for a lovely list. Another vanilla I like is I Profumi di Firenze Vaniglia del Madagascar, better suited to winter as it has the added gourmand note of whipped cream, I don't find it sickly though. I think I Profumi di Firenze is not talked about enough, High quality and affordable too.
Ooooh whipped cream! I must check out this fragrance. Thanks for the recommendation! 💖💖💖
Vanilla is one of my favourite notes. Excited to see you list.
Thank you so much! 💖🙏
Tocade is so beautiful. I will never be without it
Indeed!! So unique!!
Absolutely love your picks!! Dior Addict is definitely one of my favorites. Metallic is unique and gorgeous. Those Laura Mercie lotions completely blew me away. I loved that vanilla scented lotion and the Creme brûlée 💕 Thanks lovely Cuz 😉💕✨
Hey Cuz! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Ooh I know you smell amazing on Addict and Metallique. So glad you enjoyed the lotions. I still want one of the body souffle tubs from Laura Mercier but waiting on a sale. 🙌🏼💖

Hi Kendra! 👋 Awww what a sweet comment! Thank you so much! 💖💖💖
Nice collection! My favorite is Indult Tihota. One of my first blind buys ever and I still love it! But who doesn’t love Francis Kurkdjian!
Yes, good point! I've got two vanilla videos posting in the next two weeks.
This was such a relaxing video Veronica. That music was perfect. I love vanilla.
Aawww thanks Sammie! Including music is always tricky. You want it to complement, not distract. Not an easy balance to achieve. I appreciate the feedback! 💖

I have a sample of metallic and also the dossier version and I LOVE it ,the dupe smells exactly alike and such a unique addictive smell
Totally! Good for you - I'm sure the dupe is just as fabulous. 💖
@@VeronicaSays there is something so amazing about this smell and reminds me of something from years ago that I can’t remember what it was LOL
@@HappinessSparkles same here! How interesting!!

I wonder how the Warm Cashmere flanker compares to the OG (Fresh Cream) which I LOVE!!
I think it has that fuzzy and fluffy element that gives it a more ethereal feel, whereas fresh cream is a bit " thicker" in texture. Hope this helps. And you know who can send you a decant. 😉
Your makeup and the vanilla musk cap are matching 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

Hi Priscilla! Aw thank you. Happy to bring you some different options for your olfactory exploration! 💖💖💖
It seems I got distracted while writing a comment. I have quite a few of these gems. I love vanilla! It's my favorite! It's on my list to film, but I'm always on the hunt for the next great vanilla. I was not a fan of Dior Addict but I'm slowly learning to appreciate her. Thanks for sharing. Veronica💜
It's all good! Thanks for returning. Dior Addict is not an easy one to love at first, and should be cold weather only (imo!). 🥰
This video was so timely. I've been searching for more vanillas to add to my collection. Dior Addict is in my cart.
Hi Nichole! Glad you enjoyed the video, you're going to smell FABULOUS in Dior Addict. 💖
Definitely great choices! Need to get my hands on dior addict! Could you do signature perfumes video or a all-year round perfumes? New sub here btw! Love ❤️
Hello Hifa! Thank you for watching and subbing! 💖💖💖 I have a top ten favorites videos which is close to signature fragrances. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/yzp_2Ph-BjQ/w-d-xo.html. Later this month, either next weekend or the weekend after, I am posting my most "womanly" fragrances video. Thanks!
Thank you so much Veronica!
Catching up on some videos this evening and relaxing. Ahhh! Anyway, these are some awesome fragrances for sure! Love me some vanilla! I have some of these and there are some I would like to try! I enjoy listening to you describe these scents.😊 Your eye look is so pretty too!😍 Hope everyone is off to a great week, and having a nice relaxing evening!🥰❤️
Hello Winnie! Thanks so much for watching! I too watching videos to relax. 🥰 Glad you enjoyed the video and found some you would like to try. 💖💖💖 Have a great rest of week! 🙏
I ordered Dior Addict two days ago and can't wait until she arrives! I don't think I could handle Metallique, especially if it has a similar minerally hot aluminum pan twang that I get from BR540 or Cloud.
Hi Gail! I hope you enjoy Addict. Be sure to give her a full few tries - she had to grow on me. Metallique... not sure it's an aluminum pan twang (love that description by the way) but maybe stay away just in case it comes across that way to you. Thanks for watching! 💖💖💖
I love DSquared Want! I never hear anyone talk about it on TH-cam but it’s such a delicious vanilla, one of my favs.
Right?! Really great. Now that bottle top... 🙄🙄🙄
I love the eye look 🤩
Thank you! It was kind of a mistake but I just went with it.
Also this is not vanilla but I would love to hear your thoughts on Huda Invite Only. I got a bottle off Mercari and I am so addicted to it. I didn’t think I would like it but it’s my current favorite for cold weather.
Good question. I have never tried it. I heard it's very similar to Angels' Share, which I adore. So if that is true, then I think I'd love Invite Only! 👍
I loved the Almond Coconut scent from Laura Mercier, but it’s definitely a lazy bottle design and it’s apparently been reformulated, so it doesn’t last.
Oh! I didn't know about the reformulation. Interesting. 🤔 I guess the bottle design is supposed to be simple and classic but it comes across kinda boring 🤷♀️
I love the way you describe things! So evocative
Thank you Emi! 💕 🥰💖
Hello Veronica! My favorites are Dior Addict, Lalique Le parfum and Aura💚, which I bought becouse of you😊. Thank you! 🤗
Hi there! Aawwww!! So glad to hear you are enjoying Aura!! Thanks so much for watching and sharing your recommendations.
@@VeronicaSays ♥️♥️
I'm getting to know the d squared fragrances. So complex and deep.
Do you have the pink topped one with ginger? I am considering picking it up.
Really enjoyed watching this video. Looking forward to January Fragrance Awards.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! The January "show" is posted. 🥰
Wonderful recommendations!!! I’m off to order a decant of Dior Addict right now🤗💕
Hi Joey! 💖 Thank you and AWESOME! Hope you like it! 🥰
Good information about the perfums
Hello Brigitte! Thank you kindly 💖🥰
Great video. Great explanation of feel of each fragrance
Thanks so much! I appreciate you 💖
I definately have to check out the Shalimar Souffle flankers 👌
Hi there - they are worth exploring! Thanks for watching. 💖
Thanks for sharing your video take care ❤️
Hi Pamela, thanks so much for watching! 💖💖💖
Don't know how I didn't make the pepto bismol association, thank you! Love Aura, love love love.
Do you agree? 😂 That's too funny! I love Aura. 💖
Oh, I love so many of these! Fabulous video and thank you for the mention, gorgeous!💙💙💙Your eye look is 🔥 🔥🔥
Thanks so much! And thanks for sharing so many wonderful scent options with me! You rock! 💖💖💖
You started off with a bang, love LNT Nude 👌🏽💝💞
That one is thanks to you, if I remember correctly! 🥳💖🙌🏼
Yes La Nuit Tresor Nude is so good. I just bought Penhaligons Constantinople and I just love it 😍 spicy warm vanilla! One of my fave notes! 🤍
Oh that Penhaligons sounds lovely! Great choice Donna! 🥳💝🙌🏼
What a diverse list of Vanilla fragrances🤩😍👌. I absolutely love Divine Vanille especially when it’s raining, it somehow comforts me😍😍. I saw Aura on sale last week but I’m sooo scared of that fragrance, don’t know why😩😩. Great list as always👌👌. Stay gorgeous🥰🥰.
Hi Pinkie! A lot of folks are scared of Aura 🤣 It's not the easiest fragrance to love. Divine Vanille is an EASY love - just wonderful! Thanks for watching my dear. How's the weather in South Africa 🇿🇦?
@@VeronicaSays
I’m based in Johannesburg so it’s been raining heavily on and off. Some places are flooded with catastrophic results🥲🥲. February is always a bad month over here🇿🇦.
@@pinkiemtengenya6744 oh no! I didn't know that was going on. Years ago I visited Johannesburg and spent three weeks traveling the beautiful KwaZulu-Natal region of SA. Hope to return soon.
@@VeronicaSays
Lovely🥰
Vanilla is my favorite! I love that it can be mixed so well with everything! Dior Addict! 😍🤩
Love your eyeshadow 👍🏾💃🏾
You are so right - what a VERSATILE note! Great observation. Thank you and thanks for watching! 💖🥰
I had Joop YEARS ago!!! I've been meaning to get a second bottle!
Such an affordable gem! 💖
Hi Veronica, I am here for this gorgeous makeup. My favourite vanilla fragrances are: Lalique Le Perfume (for decades ago lol). Also Memo Paris "Sintra" which is a Vanilla Gourmand Baklava esque, and I am infactuated. Greetings.
Hi Fatima! Both of those sound gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your faves!
Love La nuit tresor nude. It is addictive. I also bought a few days ago Dior Addict. I do not know yet if it is the one for me. I still need to test it more. Love also Kayali Vanilla 28. It is on my purchase list for the year. Another addictive Vanilla for me is JPG La belle le parfum. Love it.
Oh yeah, La Belle - both the original and intense, are GORGEOUS. What are your thoughts on Addict? I found it overwhelming and cloying at first but it grew on me tremendously over time.
I feel in the opening a very citrusy note quite sharp with vanilla. And yes, it is potent. It was not love at first sniff. But i will do a full wear test and see what i feel.
I hear you! It took me a while to warm up to it. I find it performs best in cold weather. 👌🏼
Hey Veronica, vanilla is definitely my favorite note and I have a few of these. I couldn't wait to purchase the Shalimar Soufflé but I have yet to wear her.....I need to do better. I purchased Want last year and yes, that top is juvenile which is why it's still in the box and not on display but I do like the scent. Right now my absolute favorite vanilla in my collection is hands down Confetto by Profumum Roma followed by Cuir Beluga
Ooooh I need to check out Confetto. Cuir Beluga is pretty - a friend sent me a decant. Nice! Well, there are only so many days in a year and so much skin to spray on, you know? We'll get to them all eventually. 🥰🥰🥰 Thanks for watching my dear! 😘
@@VeronicaSays Confetto is oooh ooohhh yeeessss ma’am good to me 🤣. If I were a signature scent girl, this would definitely be mine.
Really loving your look Veronica 😍 I LOVE Aura my hubby likes it on me too.
Hi Tami!! I bet you totally ROCK Aura!! 🥳🥳🥳 Thanks for watching dear.
Manifesto and manifesto lclat are so amazing!!
Hi there, do you think they are different enough to justify having both? I keep looking at L'clat and trying to decide.
Obsessed with vanilla these days. I"m thinking of adding Jovoy Fire at Will to my collection. It's a very interesting take on vanilla and lasts for ever on my skin.
Hi there! 👋 Thanks for this recommendation, and thanks for watching! 💖
Hi there! This is going to be amazing now let me watch! 🤗❤️
Hi Nadia! Thanks so much for watching 🙏
@@VeronicaSays you have great ones !! 🤗❤️
Thank you dear! 💖
Hiiiiii! I really need to up my vanilla game. 😞 i own none of the frags mentioned, i had addict in my cart this month and took it out so I could get Mancera velvet vanilla instead. Maybe next month i'll finally bite the bullet and get Dior. Hopefully my sense of smell will be back soon so i can enjoy my frags again. ❤
Hi Nadine! Well Velvet Vanilla sounds great. Nothing wrong with that! Oh no - did you have COVID? 😔
@@VeronicaSays yeah my entire team had to work at the hospital for a couple weeks and we all got sick at the same time, the worst is over for all of us but I lost my sense of smell and taste. I'm sure my hips are'nt complaining.😂
I hear THAT! 🤣 Been there and understand. 💯 But seriously, glad you are getting better.
@@VeronicaSays ❤
I think I need the Shalimar intense...I'm all for the happy fragrances.
It's a great one! I may spray it tonight. 🤔
Here in Brazil we are at the height of summer. I can't wait for autumn and winter for layer Want and Addict. Metallique and Manifesto are new to my collection, I need to use them more often. I struggle with Aura since the day I bought it, if I don't use it this winter I'll end up donating. Great video!
Hi Carolina! 👋 Yeah, Aura can be challenging for lots of people! Metallique and Manifesto would be great for when the summer starts creeping into cooler weather also. 💖 Thanks for watching!
Hi Veronica, I bought also Tangier Vanille and love it. However the performance doesn't impressed me. Did you try Vanagloria from Laboratorio Olfattivo or the most hunted Babycat from YSL?
Hi Alina! 💖 I get decent performance from Tangier Vanille, but not amazing. That's okay though. I have not tried Vanagloria although it's been recommended quite a bit. Have you tried it? I have not tried Babycat either.
@@VeronicaSays I bought a bottle of Babycat of 125 ml some weeks ago but I didn't dare to open till now. I know how it smells and for sure it's deserved the hype. I've tried here, at the KDW(Berlin). Still out of stock. Also I"m intrigued by Vanagloria because is the same parfumer, Dominique Ropion and lots of persons are saying about Babycat and Vanagloria are almost the same.
@Alina Ghetler I've heard that too. Interested in Vanagloria. 👍👍👍
I love the Tacade bottle.
Awww that's awesome!!
Loving that eye look V! Here for the vanillas 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you my sweet friend! 💖
I love your description of Metallique! And I know exactly what you mean!😂
Hi Mariana! Thank you. 🥰 I'm glad you understood my weird description.💖💖💖
I know I am late to this video…but was researching want. Thank you for the great info. I actually love the bottle…probably because volleyball has always been a major part of my life and now my daughters…reminds me of a volleyball.🤣🤣😍😍😍😍😍
🤣🤣🤣 Love it! I actually replaced that obnoxious top with a small wooden cap. Soooo much better!
OMG! Yes, Edward Scissorhands would smell just like it. I haven’t thought about it till you mentioned that.
Doesn't it work though? 😁😁😁
Absolutely agree with you about Dior Addict. She’s the mic drop of vanillas!🎤❤️❤️
Yes ma'am!! She's royalty for SURE! 🥳🥳🥳
I love my vanillas too. The La Nuit Tresor Nude and Manifesto are stunning. I also love Dsquared2 Want ❤️❤️❤️
Yesss!! These are all beautiful options. 💖💖💖💖
I'm very curious about Want now, I might buy it, I love vanilla 😍
My favorite vanilla's I have in my collection are Manifesto/Manifesto l'elixir, Olympea intense, Libre/libre intense
It's a STRONG one! Worth checking out. 💖
@@VeronicaSays The stronger the better, I would bathe in vanilla if I could 😂
@@Nadrielle961716 well, this is the one for you!
Awesome selections Veronica! I have a few in my own collection. Love Dior Addict and Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere 🤩😍
Thanks Sharline! Those are really awesome scents! 💖💖💖
Hi gorgeous! Loving those green eye shadows! Ok, Philosophy fragrances...I love them!!!!!!!!! they're the most inoffensive fragrances you can find out there. Tangier Vanille is beautiful I recall having tried it in the summer and didn't like it and now I love it, I agree, I wouldn't wear it in the summer at all. I love Tocade and it smells extremely similar to Woman in Gold by Kilian. I agree with the bottle....😜. Never tried Vanille Cafe but have a few fragrances from Comptoir Sud Pacifique and they're really good and very unique. Ambre Vanille by Laura Mercier is stunning, my fave from that line is Tarte au Citron, it was the only fragrance I could tolerate when I was pregnant and ever since I keep it in my collection . I agree with your! "smell rich" point😜, Dior Addict is THE queen, totally .Really great video my friend
Awww thank you. Girl! This eyeshadow had several toes in the "went too far" category but I didn't have time to adjust it. 😂 I have heard that Tocade smells similar to Woman in Gold - thanks for that reminder because it calms down my FOMO! 💯 Tarte au Citron - ooooh sounds wonderful! And I know you understand my "smells rich" sidebar. 🤣 But yeah, Dior Addict actually fits that description I guess. 🥰
Your metallique description should be on their advertisement banners 💯
🤣🤣🤣 I will put my scissorhands on for the ad! 💖💖💖
I love falling in love from philosophy
Oh, I've never tried that one!
Veronica! We share some favourites here. I have the Wants and just received a bottle of Addict from a friend - it’s amazing! I had never smelled it until now. Racking my brain for my favourite vanilla of all time would be and I don’t think I have an answer yet. I’ll get back to you! Love the eye look! Queen! ✌🏽🧜🏻♂️♥️
Thank you my amigo!! Would love to hear your pick when it comes to you. Dior Addict must smell outrageously good on you! 🥳🥳🥳
I love Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere!! I used to wash my clothes in the body soap in the huge bottle!😂 You're so right though, it just doesnt last! I'm gonna have to get Addict..ive heard nothing but good things about it! A Sweet Pastry sounds DELISH! I hope I can find it- I think it'll remind me of BBW "Hello Sugar" that was out back in 2009 and discontinued- YUMMY LEMON POUNDCAKE scent!
Oooooh Bonnie! What a great idea to was things in a scented soap! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Love that. Yeah, I wish the Philosophy one lasted. 😔 If you shop on Mercari, put an alert on for A Sweet Pastry in Paris. It's worth getting your hands on. Thanks for watching! 💖
@@VeronicaSays Will do!
@@VeronicaSays Will do!
What an amazing list! Every time I hear about how do you were addict is a rich and a little bit mature send I can’t stop thinking about how are used to wear that fragrance when I was like 24 🤣 i’m so curious about Want by D squared
Impossible to find in Canada and yes I agree that Is hideous 🤣
Oh my goodness! You were a bold 24 year old, rocking Addict! 🥳🥳🥳 Too funny! Yeah that Want bottle is... um... awful. 🤣 Thanks for watching darling! 💖
Ohh girl I over spray WANT and over spray it like crazy ( ohh and also I LOVE the bottle ! I bet you would also like the pink ginger ,not sure about the eternity comparison 🤷♀️but perhaps that’s why I love it so much
I have the Pink Ginger bottle on my "Want" list. See what I did there? 😂
@@VeronicaSays haha love the play on words 🤣 I can find it here in Canada 🇨🇦 in Walmart of all places ,check out your Walmart and see if they have it there
Metallique is such a good one.
Yes it is!! Unique!
Estée Lauder currently has that Aerin Tangier Vanille 50% off with an additional 15% off.
Oooh! Thanks for sharing! 💖🥰
OMG I totally forgot you have sweet pastry in Paris I’m so blessed to have it now thanks to Chantel,it smells to me like a hot lemon cake coming out of the oven ! I love it ,almost impossible to find now at a decent price
Yesss a hot lemon cake! Love it. Makes you want to grab a cup of coffee with that cake and watch the snow fall outside as you eat it. 😁
@@VeronicaSays yes exactly
Awesome video and amazing how I could relate 💗
Yes you and I have similar fragrance journeys and tastes. 💖💖💖
The dsquared i love smells similar to mon parfum cristal by m.micallif
Oh really? Thanks for sharing this!! 💖
Hold on Aura smells like pepto? I need it then, I live that smell!! Never heard anybody refer to it like that, and that has it sold for me!! Lol!!!🙌🏼❤️
Melissa, YES, it has a subtle pepto accord. Can you believe it? 🤣 Pepto plus greenness plus vanilla plus a dash of weirdness. I love it.
I LOVE that Vanilla Musk!
Which one?
@@VeronicaSays Nemat! 😂
@@ThePerfumeNest oh! The oil? I'm so slow. 🤣
Definitely a great list! I have A Sweet Pastry and I LOVE it. I’ve wanted (pardon the pun) to try Want for a while but that bottle works my nerves 😀. TFS Veronica!
Thank you! A Sweet Pastry in Paris is awesome. Yes, that Want bottle is such a mess. 😳🤣
I loved hearing you talk about some of these fragrance which I've never even heard of, let alone tried. I'm fascinated and will seek some of these out now. Thank you! I think when so many people think of vanilla-heavy fragrances they think of the big guns (like Tihota) so I, for one, really enjoy being shown vanilla-forward fragrances that have different personalities. It's not always a dark march towards Kayali's 'Vanilla 28' ;D Thank you for all these options to seek out or consider in a new light. The only vanilla fragrances I take real umbrage with are the flat, insipid, dusty 'Little Tree' compositions that make me tut like a disapproving school marm. Fragrances like Juliette Has a Gun's 'Vanilla Vibes' and the dreadful citrus-dust combo that is 'Sublime Vanille' by Creed-- yikes, at that price point too! :( I'd be more likely to purchase a juvenile Kayali sugar-a-thon either of those two, any day. ;) It's why I've ordered some Kyse fragrances-- sometimes I crave some 'high school fun' fragrances, those juvenile syrupy gourmands, y'know, and there is currently room in my collection for something that fits that bill (Roses Vanille used to do it, but I'm running out and thinking of trying something new). Chris at Fragrance Nest has warned me that they're "not to be taken seriously, so just know that going in". I'm even more excited to try them now, with that in mind! I AM going to take Terri's compositions seriously, which I assume she'd want me to...no? The brand are a great intrigue to me, as are Alkemia who I've never tried. As long as I don't get awful olfactory flashbacks to my first dabbling on Etsy, all will be well. ;)
Yesss, there are so many interesting vanilla-forward fragrances to try other than the usual suspects. 💯🙌🏼 Have fun sampling Kyse! I agree with Chris - take them for what they are and don't expect masterpieces. I recently got Delizia di Marshmallow. Hate the bottle, like the fragrance.
@@VeronicaSays That's what I'm hoping will happen with me. My review on the 'branding' was/is harsh but if the fragrance itself is a terrific suprise then I'll be evangelical in singing praise for Kyse to anybody who will listen :). I'm not keen to spend alot of money on excessive 'luxury' presentation and it really is all about the fragrace for me, not the bottle or packaging etc. I'd rather pay a high price for expensive raw ingredients blended masterfully than a ridiculous presentation box.
I do wonder how Terri would feel to know that everybody seems to suggest that her work is not to be taken seriously and that her creations are just amateur hour fun. It seems to be how most folks in frag comm percieve her enterprise/professional skills. I wonder what the reason is for this common evaluation of Kyse? A gourmand-focused house could be magnificent, so I don't think it's that aspect of it. And not being formally trained isn't always the reason-- Rasai Fort at Fort & Manle is self-taught and his fragrances are wonderful. I'm just going to stick to my suspicions that it's her dreadful aesthetic sensibility that partially responsible. Compared to Fort & Manle, for a good example, she's in a totally different universe.
