I LUV this series Anne. Like, luvluv. Is that a word? It is now. 🤣 And in truth, I find that a lot of your opinions coincide with mine. So yeah, luvluv.
I luvluv to hear it 😄❤️
Same!!!!
I just live for your descriptions and this series as a whole. The differences of opinions are definitely needed in the fragrance community. I welcome all opposition 😊 if not only to give balance. Thank you.
I appreciate that so much! ❤️
Love the honest opinions. I feel the same way about the ones of these I’ve tried.
I bought Sarah bakers peaches revenge as a blind buy because I saw it come back in stock and didn’t want to miss out, and I am glad to say it’s a hit. I am loving it, I also got a sample of gossip night which I am resting right now, I am in a peach era I guess. lol!! I also got the cirque du soleil perfume and I like it but not a love yet which I am surprised by but gonna let it sit and revisit it!! Love this series btw!!!❤❤
ah I'm so glad you love it!! ❤️
I love and appreciate an HONEST opinion!! I agree on a lot of them! Thank you for your unfiltered opinion!
always! ❤️
Love the video. The way you described Peaches Revenge and the Cirque du Soleil perfume makes me want to buy them 😄. Thank you for giving your honest opinion.
Thank you! If you enjoy your sweet perfumes, I definitely think those are two to check out! ❤️
I appreciate your honesty so much! So does my wallet 😂
your hair is so pretty
thank you!! 🥹
You are always a fav. I had a feeling about that Ulyka fragrance. I have a sample coming but super glad I didn’t blind buy based on just the notes and hype.
Thank you! Sampling is definitely the best way to go 🥰
I enjoy these episodes so much, I want more, and I could watch you for hours❤️❤️❤️ also, your description are so explicit and on point💘
aw thank you Georgiana!! ❤️
THE BEST SERIES 📝📝
🥹❤️❤️
I really wanted to love Peaches Revenge! I bought it and wore the sample for several days and just did not like it at all, unfortunately. I sent the unopened bottle back. I was so disappointed because I really wanted to like it.
aw that's a shame, I'm glad you sampled first then!
the pure joy i feel whenever i see that you uploaded another video is unmatched! thank you so much anne!! i hope july is treating you well
oh my goodness, that is so kind 😩❤️ thank you!!!
I got to try TK Creme Brulee at Scent Bar in LA and the only reason I didn’t buy it on the spot was because I worried about taking it on my flight back home, and also I wanted to get it for a discount online. I ended up getting a decant from Scent Split to try it out and it is probably my favorite gourmand right now. It is beautiful vanilla frosting with a hint of coconut. It’s like a richer version of Laura Mercier Eau Gourmand Vanille, which has been my #1 vanilla-coconut for forever. Not to mention, it literally had a guy friend of mine on his knees. He said he could smell it as soon as he walked in my house and could not stop sniffing me. For me, it’s not synthetic at all. Maybe the decant I have has had time to macerate and that sometimes makes a huge difference. After I finish my decant I’m going for the full bottle!
Is it redundant for your nose or somewhat unique to your collection, if I may ask.
@@perfumetherapie I’m glad it was a love for you! ❤️
I enjoy hearing your opinions.
Now let's talk Tilia omg, had to scrub it, couldn't stand it. Althou i aplreciate the work, it's just not for me despite loving Valaya and Fleur Narctique.
Totally agree on Love Delight, heliotrope 💣
Please continue with these series ❤
Thank you! Will do! 🥰
Thank you so so much Anne for this series, you save me so much money! I also appreciate your honest opinions on ones that are way too overhyped! Keep the great work!💖💖
100% understand your comment about loving a smell but not wanting to smell that way. That's Mallow and Celeste for me... I want to love that candy violet profile on me, but I just dont 😢
I was on the fence about Celeste when I had it as a sample, but now I am blowing my way through the big bottles and purchased two more. It is such a soft cozy cloud of sweet comfort and I get so many compliments on it!
@@sunshinesmile94 ooooooh!!!! Maybe I need to try again and grab myself a bigger decant! 🤔
that's totally fair!
Heyyyyy Anne!!!!! I love Unfiltered Opinions Vlog!!!! Im so excited to hear your thoughts and opinions.❤
This makes it an awesome start for the week. The only opinion I trust ! You still have not featured Althair from Parfumes de Marly. Could we have your opinion on it? Have a great week Anne!!
I'm honored!! ❤️ I featured it in this video :)
th-cam.com/video/83YJyPOhfpU/w-d-xo.html
So I put it on my wishlist and I was wearing my decant continuously until I could get the full bottle, but at a certain point the orange blossom started to get to me. I seem to be on a bit of a roller coaster with this one. My first impression was it's alright, then it turned into something I craved and was obsessed with, and now it's a "like" 😅 Still a great release from the brand I think, and I will continue to revisit it!
Omg I hated Peach’s Revenge 😫 I was not expecting it to be so spicy and that turned me off. I wanted Vanille 12:00 or Madeleine De Proust.
oh that's a shame! I'm glad you sampled first!
@@AnneLauren absolutely! I guess I was just expecting something different.
I am obsessed with Tilia. OBSESSED. Sorry for screaming but it's so good and it currently my most complimented fragrance. A love at first sniff for me. This dna is right up my alley.
Oh I'm so glad! ❤️
Radiant natural beauty vibes today :)
I love when you do these and I had so many similar feelings here. Sirene is so amazing to me, Vanilla Skin, GreenStravaganza and Peaches R as well. I had similar let downs too.
yes I see you repping those! ❤️
Appreciate this series.😊
This is so helpful! Thank you! The way you describe fragrances is excellent and helps me know what to try/sample.
I'm so glad! ❤️
I adore guilty crush!! My husband loves it too! I haven’t heard anything negative from people around me when I wear it 😂Everyone seems to love it ❤ I love the lipstick and champagne. It’s an aquired taste for sure, but I love it!
I'm so glad it was a hit for you! 💕
Glad you reviewed Quattro Pizzi, was looking forward to sampling it but definitely going to watch out for a dry barrel hay note....that sounds just, weird. And definitely going to pull the trigger on Peach Revenge; didn't understand the hype but I'm a fan of guava (the rosy, floral aspect of the fruit) and would love to see it combined with the Peach.
I actually liked Quattro Pizzi, I didn’t really get the hay note on my skin.
The combo of peach and guava is such a good pairing I think!
Love your videos. Also, your makeup looks amazing.
Thank you so much!! ❤️
Love this series!!!
Thank you! 🫶🏼❤️
Hi Anne. Amazing vid! Ive been on a tobacco decant tryout spree. Vanille Havane wow!! If you love dark vanilla with a touch of rum, chocolate, dried fruit, and tobacco, VH rocks! 40% concentration really helps too. Ive been throwing on Herod. The vanilla plus tobacco is so well blended. I got the discontinued Aramis Tobacco Reserve. Amazing. The tobacco is really muted I am amused at a moss note that is smooth. It is really hard to explain but it is very unique. I also got Issara by Dusita. Woh! Very nice but doesnt project much.
Love ❤you unfiltered opinions. Some are on my wishlist, but now that I heard your opinion, you might have saved me money 💰🤑. I have pumped the brakes on purchasing anymore fragrances. I agree with you on the born in Roma extravaganza...bout a travel size from Sephora, wore it once and never reached for it again. Still waiting for your thoughts on Sphinx
Mangolicius hibistorm.
Thank you! If anything peaks your interest, I'd pick up a sample, perhaps you'll have a different experience from me :) Mangolicious Hibistorm is great! The rose, leather, amber, and oud really give it depth. It's a strong one, very very nice, nothing animalic but has umph. I get the mango the most in the opening, there’s hibiscus, tart red berries, a quiet amount of vanilla. It makes me think if Maison Crivelli Hibiscus Mahajad (but MH is quieter on the rose) and SHL God of Fire had a baby. It's not a need for me because I can layer those two together to create a similar scent, but it’s very good, I love it!
Nota Sugar was bad... I looove TK Creme Brulee and Cirque du Soleill though!
I'm glad you enjoy those two! ❤️
I'm begging you to do men's frags. You're so awesome!
Thank you! I do have a couple of videos up on men's fragrances, I cover a lot of unisex scents as well :)
Love this and You ❤❤❤Thanks Anne ❤❤❤
🫶🏼🫶🏼💕
I agree about Vanilla Skin EDP. While I love the body spray, this one does lean slightly more woody. I prefer the body spray because that one has something special and sexy in it that I didn't get in the EDP (kind of sexy like Initio's Absolute Aphrodisiac). I heard OliviaOlfactory compare it to AA and she is so right, so I'll stick with the body spray and just overspray it when I want it as my SOTD.
Yes! I haven't tested out the body spray but I've been hearing that people are preferring that one to the edp!
I’m so over all the cherry scented perfumes.
Love your hair like this!! Great video and I agree with several of your comments!
Hello Anne! Thank you for this video, I always like hearing your thoughts on popular fragrances… Guilty Crush and Sirene both work on me, but most of the ones you mentioned, I’m also not a fan of. 🥰😊
I'm so glad those two were hits for you!! ❤️
I love these videos from you even when I don't agree sometimes. I love to hear different opinions
I appreciate that!
I sampled Green stravaganza at Sephora too and I loved it. I found it super fresh and refreshing! It didn’t last on me either. Do you have a suggestion for something similar? I’ve been on a tea kick lately and have been wanting more scents with tea in it. 😊
I haven't found something super comparable, but if I do, I will let you know!
I'm loving your brows. What do you do to make them so gorgeous and natural looking?
Thank you!! I use the Benefit 24-Hour Brow Setter and the Milani Weekend Brow Eyebrow Tint ❤️
Pear Gelato was such a chemical mess on my skin lol. So glad it was not pricey. Immediate declutter 😅
I was sooo bummed, I want more ice cream/gelato scents! 😄
I always look for your thoughts on fragrances because you have some great opinions. I usually have a hard time liking a lot of popular fragrances that everyone is raging about because most times, I am disappointed. It could be my beginner's fragrance nose. Is there a fragrance that actually smells good that has the note of lipstick in it? Every time I see that note, I don't want to smell it.
That's valid! Everyone has different tastes and it's possible that a lipstick vibe just won't be your cup of tea. I do love Mes Bisous Balle Rouge in this category
Love Delight was ‘meeh’ for me, but went through 5ml pretty fast. And now I’m craving for more. Hopefully I’ll catch some partial bottle.
I totally agree with you on Crème Brûlée! Everyone seems to love it but I thought it was a letdown 🥲
I'm glad I'm not the only one! 😅
Anne, I love these videos, always interesting to hear your thoughts 💛
thank you!
Ahhh I’ve been gone for a while and I’ve missed your videos Anne!! 💜
Aw! I hope you're doing well!! 🫶🏼
Hated orchid k. Was trying to figure out what smelled like rotten dish rags.Maybe ambrofix.
Love all your videos!
I totally agree with you on ysl green stravaganza I wish it lasted longer and the opening notes just stayed throughout. I have a travel spray and will definitely enjoy it while it lasts but that was a bummer for me but the OG is a beast on my skin. I am planning on getting a sample of liis ethereal wave as I think that is probably going to satisfy the summer tea scent I am looking for hopefully - have you had a chance to try it? I always like to hear what you think because it's hard to know if something is for you once it gets hyped.
I haven't yet! ❤️
Love this series!! 🥰 🫶
Thank you! ❤️
I loved Siréne 🎉
@@PhoenixSkyy it’s a lovely cherry perfume!
One of my favorite series on your channel. I have been seeing reviews on Phlur Vanilla Skin EDP and I just dont understand the hype and how some people are going insane over this scent. There are so many other vanillas that are so much better than this. I’m saving my $ and getting something better.
Thank you! oo I'm curious which vanilla is on your wishlist 😁
@@AnneLauren I would love to get Chloe Vanilla Planifolia
@@MelinaF1923 lovely choice!!
I was on the fence about Pear Gelato. I'll still try it when I get the chance, but I'm not running anywhere to get to it. I recently tried Pantheon Roma's Trastevere and that really does smell like a gelato or thick ice cream (not pear, but still very good). I think it's the chestnut cream that makes it smell like dessert to me. I do want to try Peach's Revenge and that Cirque du Soleil.
Totally! I think if anything peaks your interest it's nice to give it a sample since you may have a different experience :) Oh my gosh that sounds so good!!
It' always helpful to hear the opinions of others , we perceive things very differently , interesting how the exact same thing is interpreted with variety 😍
just received a decant of Nota Sugar and immediately want a bottle ❣ unfortunately I pick up harsh, synthetic chemically from a lot of Amouage and Navitus , unfortunate since the 2nd one has been a lot of blind buy fails , a lot of wasted 💲💲💲
For sure! I'm glad Nota Sugar was a hit for you :) I know Navitus offers discounts when they first launch their fragrances, but I always sample first, I'm way too picky haha. For Navitus, you can find samples on Mercari, Etsy, or thesillagebygb.com!
@@AnneLauren Thank you Anne 😍 I really wanted to support the reviewers behind the fragrances but it was a lot of money for mostly fails for my taste .... probably won't blind buy again from this house, well probably
You have a perfume taste similar to mine...for the summer time have you tried Tigre d'Eau 22.1 Pierre Guillaume Paris? It's the beautiful refreshing green delicious coconut milk with sea salted caramel 😋 it's not thick or overly sweet at all its hard unisex some may say slightly masculine leaning but I swear that sea salted caramel and coconut water is the best I've smelled in a while! And it last forever!!! For being a light airy refreshing scent it'll last on me all dang day!
I haven't yet but I did pick up a sample! Your description sounds incredible!! 😍
I think you'd like Nota Loca a lot more. It is much better imo
I grabbed a sample of that one! Hoping that one works out better for me :)
I HAVE to stop buying fragrances with Cashmir Wood. It’s literally so overbearing to my nose. But here I am sitting on a ton of them trying to convince myself I like it (Vanilla Skin).
Hello Anne, what a lovely review of the fragrances. I love the way you described everything and put them into words. I have actually noticed as well some perfumes i like the smell but not on my skin. I have a question does any of the gourmand ones is extremely sweet like The embrace or Soir Exclusif from Navitus? I had a issue with those perfumes, i could not wear them. I do love Italica from Xerjoff and i love wearing it.
Thank you! Yes several of the perfumes mentioned in this video are ultra sweet!
I felt the exact same about pear gelato. I was so disappointed about how synthetic and basic it was
Love the series!!! 😍
Thank you!! ❤️
Anne, your videos are therapeutic! And I love the humor (hay hound)😂Thanks for sharing your passion with us. I had the same experience with Green Stravaganza😢And I'm loving Bali H'ai❤
Aw thank you Allison!! Oh my gosh I'm thrilledddd I know that one was a blind buy for you! 🎉❤️
Really appreciate you.....
🥹🫶🏼
Totally agree, the ambrofix in Ella k orchid K was way too strong and off putting 😖 Agree on Tilia, Love Delight and tubéreuse astral too, just meh 🤷xx
you give off christy turlington vibes ❤❤
Oh my goodness, she's stunning, thank you 🥹🫶🏼
Anne you really are my perfume spirit animal when it comes to florals. Tubereuse astrale was a miss for me too. Very dusty on my skin
omg! Yes! So much so 😩
Vanilla skin is a more expensive version of bare vanilla by VS
I have yet to smell Bare Vanilla but I've been hearing others comparing them as well
@@AnneLauren girl they are similar. Beautiful vanillas but I totally understand not wanting to smell like that.
In think that Love Delight is supposed to be reminiscent of a Turkish pastry. I sort of see what they were going for, but it was more like the Secret Garden floral fragrances to me. You are alway so on the nose!
Oh yes that's right!
Finally someone said it. Quattro pizzi is not that good and has nothing to do with rouge malachite. I tried it and something was so bitter about it. I expected to love it but it's a no for me unfortunately
I felt like I was the only one 😩
09:20
11:30

Was SO excited to try out Quattro Pizzi but I'm learning that a prominent davana note makes me physically recoil😭
ohh yeah depending on how that note is done, that can ruin a scent for me as well
Quattro Pizzi is from Casamorati
@@Maysbanna the Casamorati line from Xerjoff
Too many vanillas aren’t really vanilla. Just tried Creme Brûlée today and it’s a big no for me. But I am excited that I tried Vanilla Powder for the second time and I’m loooving it. I think we can stop with the “vanilla gourmands” for a bit. If you can’t get sweet, rich, deep vanilla. Just stop at this point. Everything great has been done and the rest just smell like synthetic cheap dolls.
Ulyka Nota Sugar is so synthetic and horrible! Such a fail for me
Sirene is cute but not for the price.
Cherry and coconut seem to be saturating the market right now...
oh for sure
Do you like the new Aqua Di Gioia Intense?
That one was a "like" for me :)
😂 “like a bloodhound for hay”
Why do perfume bloggers not comment on perfumes such as Sarah Baker and Sierene and not mention the sharp notes? These sharp notes kill the perfume; I can't smell anything else!!! I don't understand.
Because how people experience perfume is very subjective, we all have different noses, skin, and tastes
What do you think of LV, On The Beach?
I have yet to try that one!
None of the theodoros kalotinis does it for me. It smells very cheap to me. And i'm not even a perfume snob. I own 10€ fragrances
Yeah I've tried a handful of their fragrances but I'm not a fan of how they're executed :/
Sirène is so good but i won't buy it. I'm trying to be serious about my no buy summer 💀
you got this 😄
On me Nota sugar smells horribly synthetic and gross
Love your videos 🥰 have you tried antihero by curatrix? so many people say it's giving jazz club a run for it's money
reallyyyy! I haven't heard of that fragrance actually!
Ahhhh, that’s a shame about the Valentino.
Agreed Creme Brulee smells super cheap. There are definitely very very similar perfumes from cheaper Indie brands. Not worth $150/50ml at all. Can get BETTER for cheaper 💯 😊
I'm glad I'm not the only one 😩
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The new house of oud didn't impress me either. I find it boring
Annar
Andrew pleaseee lol 🤣
Nar!! Hope your doing well! 🙂
