    I'm right there with you on Matiere Premiere's Santal Austral. I took home a sample of it and enjoyed it enough to purchase a full bottle. I applied 1 spray from the bottle on my skin and immediately got a headache and felt nauseous. Less than 30 minutes later, my fiancé said whatever perfume I sprayed in the master bedroom closet triggered a migraine for her. I've had good luck with most of Matiere Premiere's fragrances, but Santal Austral and Crystal Saffron are both unapologetically nuclear (in a bad way), long-lasting and incredibly sharp. They're sharp to the point where my nose is instantly too fatigued to bother picking out or appreciating any of the notes. On the off chance I do wear either of these, I go to a well-ventilated area, spray once on my chest and hope for the best.

    • @AnneLauren
      @AnneLauren  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      oh my word yes, Crystal Saffron is even worse for me! 😩😩 I fully expected to love it due to saffron being one of my favorite notes, but it is unbearably sharp

    Love your honest opinion as always even though I tend to see one or two of my favorites in these videos. 😊 I’m loving Caïssa out of all the MG collection, maybe because I also enjoy Erba Pura. I also love MFK Gentle Fluidity Gold. I’m really interested in trying Tonka Cola, hoping that the Mancera-Montale DNAis not very prominent in this one, and Fleur de Lait if I can even get a sample of it. I’m with you on the Masque Milano fragrances, and the other MFK ones that you mentioned.
    Thanks Anne, I always enjoy your content!❤️❤️❤️

    It's amazing how some perfumes smell completely different to different people. You describe BR40 as light and airy and cotton candy, and to me it is nothing but heavy piney woods - like PineSol floor cleaner! I use it as a room spray in the bathroom where my cat litter box is. My best friend loves BR540, it smells flowery and ultra feminine to her. P.S. Mugler Alien is one of my favorite scents!

    I used to love Santal Austral, went through a few samples, bought the full bottle, and never wear it now. I think that the sillage is amazing. But on my skin up close the almond milk note is strange and the sandalwood is sharp. I love the quality of Matiere Premiere though. Falcon Leather is my favorite which was unexpected. I normally hate the smell of leather because it disturbs my senses. But FL just does it for me. 10/10 on a man in my opinion.

    So the way you describe Note Vanille Nectar is what I get from the OG Note Vanille in the new bottle. It’s super floral and mature with little to no warm cozy vanilla. The juice never darken like the old bottle and I swear they reformulated it when they put it in the new bottle. 😢

    Hey Anne, your obsession with santal vanille got me hooked but I'm wondering if you think it could be worn in the summer too?

    I love Encens Suave, but you are so right… it’s NOT for warm weather. It’s never cold where I live (not REALLY cold anyway), so I don’t know if I’d wear it much. I also love Santal Austral, but I have a zillion sandalwood perfumes. I don’t need another. Lol

    I recently bought a decant of instant crush. It’s alright. It did remind me of something I’ve worn before. Not sure if it was BR540 I was thinking, I have a decant of that but have rarely worn that.
    Amyris Femme I have this in a decant also.

    I love your reviews, you are my favourite fragrance inspiration on TH-cam. I was curious whether you had the chance to smell Gold Immortals or Musc Infini by Ex Nihilo. I know you have videos on Brompton Immortals, but that one is not available in my country. I think Gold immortals is like a all-year-long relative of that one, but still very different and I think you might like it 😊

    I pretty much agree with all that you mentioned! Parisian Musc is absolutely beautiful. Smells refined, clean and fresh in a natural, almost grass-like kind of way, and great to be worn in high-heat as well (it's currently 38 degrees where I live!). I absolutely agree also with Amyris Femme. Smells incredibly dated to me. Like vintage perfume vibes, and I am NOT feeling it. Great reviews as usual!

    I have BR540 and had Instant Crush, and sold it pretty quickly. It isn’t close to as good as BR540. BR540 is inviting and welcoming and is a “gentleman” (I’m a guy), instant crush is pushy and forceful.

    Great video Anna. I love your work. As a subscriber and fan, I hope you view this comment in the constructive way it is intended. Your nose is off with Rose right now. The way you are describing these rose fragrances is incorrect. For a truly dark, dry rose (the way you seem to describe all rose fragrances), try Surge Lutens Fille de Berlin. This is potpourri dry dark gothic rose. Perfect rose fragrance for October. You will see that comparatively, Oud Satin Mood is a jammy sweet rose - not dry at all. Also, Scherzo is loved because it is a fresh rose with oud, which is so unusual. The fresh rose makes Scherzo a rose Oud that can be worn in Spring/Summer. Scherzo is a fresh rose, not at all dry or dark, actually dewy and pink. Just a few recommendations to help you with descriptions on rose fragrances: pure fresh rose - Paul Smith Rose, Jo Loves White Roses and Lemon. Great quality pink rose Penhaligons Elizabethian Rose. Fresh pink rose oud - Scherzo. Jammy sweet pink rose - Delina, Nina Ricci Extase Rose. Jammy Rose Oud - Oud Satin Mood. Red Rose - Jo Malone Red Roses. Red Rose Oud - Jo Malone Rose Oud. Dark dry rose - the one and only Fille de Berlin. I'd love to add some more dark dry roses to my collection. Rose potpourri dry. However, your reviews are unhelpful as you describe every rose as dark and dry even if it is fresh or Jammy or Velvet.

    • @AnneLauren
      @AnneLauren  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Appreciate the feedback! Since you're a lover of rose, you not only appreciate these scent profiles, but you detect these differences. I hate 90% of rose fragrances, so when it comes to my nose and my taste, many come off too dark, mature, etc. for me, although I have reviewed many that I perceive as fresh or jammy as well. I personally find nothing jammy or fresh within Scherzo or Oud Satin Mood, so I review them to my experience, but people pick up different things within fragrances, notes will jump out differently to them, I've seen many people reviewing fragrances I love, and I get an entirely different scent from what they describe! I can only review fragrances to my own subjective experience.

    • @amandawilliams3664
      @amandawilliams3664 ปีที่แล้ว

      @AnneLauren please keep up the great work. I live in England. I attended a lecture by Roja Dove, and he said that there were only two flowers grown in England that were appropriate for perfume - may rose and lavender. I think for that reason, English houses: Miller Harris, Jo Malone, Floris, and Penhaligons, especially Penhaligons, do rose fragrances very well. Those houses also do amazing barber shop fougeres with lavender for men or unisex, especially Floris. Good luck with your fragrance and journalistic journey. I hope your rose period is a joyful discovery for you when it arrives. Perhaps body washes could help you ease into the scent? Not lotions - they last forever! But just a body wash. Philosophy Nude Rose, Korres Rose, and Floral Street Neon Rose are all good body washes.

      Yay!! ❤️ I have! It's very unique, I can see why it is so loved. Honeyed exotic florals with a woody base. The honey has a little bit of an animalic vibe to it, giving it a carnal feel. Honey isn’t a note I gravitate towards in fragrances, but if you do, it may be a hit for you!

    Torally agree on Scherzo, so overhyped. It has a subtle, but dirty, stomach churning dry down 🥴 The opening is not bad, but the 'airy' quality plays dissappearing acts on my skin which drives me mad 😤 which is probably a good thing, but annoyingly it lingers on in a weird way too 🤪 Can you tell I'm not a fan at all?! 😂🤣 Mont blanc signature was an instant NO, made me feel ill. I cannot get on board with any of the MFKs, have tried so many times!! Not a house for me 🙅‍♀️ I'm also trying to love Ormonde Jayne Levant, it is a bright summer scent, but something synthetic in it which makes me wince despite sooo many tries! 😣 Thx, this was great, more pls 🙏👍🥰xx

    I bought a sample of Santal Austral and, like you, I am obsessed with sandalwood. I buy anything sandalwood dominant, that I can get my hands on. On me it doesn't smell sharp at all, it smells suuuuper creamy and amazing, but it's too masculine for me. Such a pity, because it's an unbelievable scent and I would love to wear it.
    Amyrs femme smells like I dumped lemon juice on me. It smells super sharp and a little bit like pee, so I gave it to my mom and it's smells super nice on her, like it's supposed to smell haha

  • @Adancer112
    @Adancer112 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for telling the truth! 😬 This was fun to watch and get excited at the ones I also detest 😂 Scherzo gets so much hype, so I ordered a sample (thank goodness I didn’t blind buy!) and was so confused I literally tried a sample from another site assuming I got a dud. It smells SO bad on me. That oud is gross, like musty or BO like. Ick. I do NOT get the appeal. It’s not sexy or pretty to me. And Oud Satin Mood… I went to purchase something else and 2 salespeople were pushing OSM. They insisted it’s a magnet for compliments and the most beautiful scent. From my sniff it did not appeal to me at all. They insisted I try it on and they kept oohing and aahing, yet I hated it. I bought something else and they were kind enough to send me home with a small travel bottle because they were sure I’d love it. I don’t use it b/c I really think it smells utterly terrible. Extremely mature and just not nice smelling to me. I will say, it really lasts. Like after trying to wash it off, it lasts. Next day it’s still there lasts. So the perfume itself must be good. I do like Gentle Fluidity Gold and sadly that’s not as long lasting on me.

    clean soapy smells maybe i will if i ever have a kid i know that scents can change eventually. i tried gfg over a year ago and it smelled on my skin like butt whipes so i need to smell it again. Tonka Cola i also hated that was too much amber yuck.
