Good morning Claire🤗 I’m so excited for your list! Velvet orchid is lovely! I did not know the les gourmande has a fig note! Love fig 😊 Cerruti is one of my favorites! Lovely lineup
Pining for spring here in NE Ohio, but like you, am still dusting off the fresher scents in my small collection. I also really love Lovefest Burning Cherry. I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how many Kayali fragrances I really enjoy. For spring I love a good lily-of-the-valley in anything-so fresh. Aerin’s Mediterranean Honeysuckle also does the trick for spring, as does Eau de Vert Bohème from Tom Ford. Stay warm and enjoy your weekend, Claire!
Yes, Kayali have some nice ones. I can't wait for the weather to get nicer now. Some warmth would be very welcome. Lotv is an excellent choice for spring, really pretty! I hope you have a great Sunday 🥰
Heliotrope is the only one I love out of the three Reminiscence fragrances from the same line. The other two don't last on me. I absolutely adore Narciso Ambree! 😍It's one of my husband's favorites from my collection! ❤I love any fragrance with frangipani! 😍
Guimauve really lasts for me and is deceivingly strong sometimes 😂dragée I have to overspray but it's lovely 😍 Héliotrope is definitely the easiest to love and the strongest.
I’m definitely feeling the pull of Spring; altho we’re still buried quite deep in snow, and like you, and have seen snow fall every week. I’ve been finding myself perusing my ‘green, fresh’ perfume trays & wanting to layer them over my warmer/medium depth perfumes to brighten-up. Kind of cool to explore this layering a bit, but I’m not very practiced so it’s a work in progress, for sure. Thanks for sharing, your videos always spark my curiosity & creativity❤
Ooh layering with fresh ones sounds a challenge not to crowd them out. But yeah, it's been very random weather here, I can't wait for proper spring! Thanks for watching, I appreciate it ❤️
Spring is so random where I live! We keep having lovely, sunny thaws, then quick cold snap and snow! I thought we were done with the freezing so I purchased chicks (which I usually raise in my garage), and then we got another cold snap and I had to bring them in to my music studio. I love the selections you have here, I will have to try Perles de Lalique!
I get so many compliments when I wear Cerruti 1881, Narciso Rodriguez Ambrée is wonderful for spring, I have a sample of it and I'm considering to buy it soon🧡 it's such a creamy, lovely and sensual scent. Le Jardin de Monsieur Li is a good one, green, lemony, my husband loves it, he finds it elegant 😊 Signorina Ribelle is so sweet, I get red fruits(not listed though) and coconut, a youthful beautiful fragrance 😍 Have a happy evening my beautiful friend ! 🌹😘
People absolutely love Cerruti 1881. Ambrée is very sunny feeling. Monsieur li took me a while to get into and I'm still unsure it's me but I think I would love to smell it on someone else. Signorina ribelle is just a fun one. I've been wearing that a lot to work recently. Thanks for watching ❤️ and have a lovely weekend!
I would really like to try velvet orchid as the original black orchid is one of my favourite perfumes. In Corfu where I had lived for two years they make a wonderful liqueur off qumquats. The whole island is kind of famous about it actually. I hope you get some settled spring weather soon. In Greece spring has definitely come.
I love black orchid 🖤 such a stunner! I don't love velvet orchid as much but it probably suits more situations, including work... Yes, I can't wait for proper spring. It's just still a bit random here right now. Thanks for watching ❤️
I live in Virginia, US and our weather is all over the place, but I did put away fragrances that I truly like when it's really cold. I brought out the springy ones if for no other reason than hope lol
Haha same! I started reaching for the spring ones a few weeks ago just more out of hope that anything else 😂 I hope it gets warmer where you are soon, definitely a bit of mix and match until then! Thanks for watching ❤️
Everything is in bloom here, so this is very timely. 🙂 I love the mint note in Le Jardin de Monsieur Li. I haven't quite figured out the kumquat, either. Cheers, Claire!
Wow, you are lucky to live somewhere so lovely and warm. The mint surprised me that it was so prominent in le jardin de Monsieur li. I wasn't expecting to smell it much for some reason. Thanks for watching ❤️
Thanks for your video Claire! It sounds like you are really enjoying your birthday fragrance. The Velvet Orchid does smell more everyday wearable than the Black Orchid. I too enjoy florals for Spring. When ever it finally arrives... It's pretty cold here. There is still ice and snow everywhere. Today is supposed to be 'National Perfume Day'? A sale came up at one of my favourite perfume shops and I decided to get a fragrance I tested that gives me Spring and Summer vibes. Zoologist Cockatiel. It's kind of aldehydic and sharp on initial spray with notes of rhubarb, raspberry and champagne. I found the opening uplifting and effervescent. Then it settles into a softly powdery, vanillic, heliotrope through the mid. It is supposed to have some patchouli and guaiac wood in the base, but to my nose it's pretty light on those dark sounding base notes. It's modern and vintage at the same time. Soft and pretty without being immature. I will wear it when I want a cheerful fragrance. I don't have too many fruity fragrances and the fruit notes do eventually dissipate. But one needs to like vanilla to enjoy this fragrance because it is the most prominent note along with the powdery quality. Have a great day and take care! 💛~ Jenn
Ooh cockatiel! I've not tried that one, I've tried hummingbird and I might be reviewing harvest mouse soon if I do a collab with some other channels, not sure if that's going ahead yet... Zoologist strike me as a very interesting brand. Cockatiel sounds gorgeous, I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for watching Jenn! ❤️ Hope you have a fab week!
Hi Claire ❤ I appreciate that you considered the metamorphosis of Springtime from cold to very warm 😊 Eau So Decadent sounds right up my alley❣️ Ozonics/Aquatics usually appeal to me. By any chance have you tried Thé Yulong from Armani Prive? I've been secretly reaching for it now that Spring is in the air...It has to be a secret because I got so many perfumes for my birthday that if I wear any scent not gifted to me in the last month someone is bound to get butthurt 😅😂
Yes, from what I know of your taste, I think you'd like Eau so decadent. I've not tried thé yulong, I've tried the gardenia and the jasmine fragrances only from that line, I will add it to my list of things to check out. And yeah same, my birthday was at the end of February, and burning cherry was a gift that I got but I also bought velvet orchid and have been obsessed 🙊
I wore Eau so Decadent today! I'm so glad you introduced me to it. It was warm this morning and I went for it, and it was so wonderful (I had forgotten how good it was as I had not worn it since last summer). The afternoon was very rainy and it just worked so well. Can still smell it on myself now. I really enjoyed the sample of Le Jardin de Monsieur Li you sent. I might have to pick that one up too, it's lovely and not a typical citrus. I'm glad you are enjoying Perles de Lalique 💕
Eau so decadent is one that I always come back to every spring. It's just so refreshing but enveloping too. Icy and clean and fresh and even grey green. Monsieur li I wasn't sure about to begin with, but it's grown on me massively, I felt like it wasn't me, actually though, it's nice to wear something different. I am loving Perles de Lalique, thank you so much! I love the fizzy feel! 😊 Thanks for watching ❤️
lovely choices and a solid list! some very springy scents here ♥ and i luuuv Le Jardin de Mr Li, very gentle frag, i hear theres a new one from that line cant wait to try it as well and asap!..
I can imagine Lovefest to wear beautifully on a cooler spring day! Monsieur Li is a summer staple here about, great for warmer spring days I guess. Interested to try Violet Ida! I hope I can get a sample ❤
Yes, violet Ida is an interesting one. Monsieur li feels perfect for warmer weather but I really don't know how long it would last in hotter temperatures, does it last for you there?
Happy Saturday Dr. Claire. Well we thought spring had arrived as we had a short warm spell but winter decided to make its last appearance and we are back to freezing temperatures. I’m still wearing fall/winter leaning fragrances. But I’m watching all of the spring videos in hopes that will change soon.
Yes me too! I'm willing on spring with my fragrance choices too. Last Friday it snowed, this Friday was 12oC and sunny. It seems very random still at the moment. Thanks for watching ❤️
I love Monsieur Li! The kumquat is wonderful. They’re a great fruit to eat if you haven’t-makes you feel a bit like you’re a giant, eating these little citrus fruits whole with skin on. At first I ignored this one, thinking it was too much like Sur le Nil, but it really isn’t at all. There’s something a little fuzzy about it that I really like too. OK, I’m digging out my Eau So Decadent decant to test again now for the first time since 2021. Spring is coming.
Hi Margo! I really wasn't sure about Monsieur li to begin with but it's really grown on me. Not necessarily me but something a bit different... Eau so decadent is probably my favourite Marc Jacobs fragrance. I like the freshness and it's long lasting. 🥰
I remember it being more green and watery fresh the last time I tried, and today it seemed super sweet 🤔 I love many of the Signorina line, but I can’t decide on Ribelle. There is something slightly frosty that makes me think of ice cream in a pleasant way… But maybe the coconut and/or musks sometimes rub me the wrong way? I haven’t tried it in warmer weather yet though, so maybe that will be the trick…
Sweet? Ooh maybe the pear or blackcurrant? Ribelle does have something that is clearly meant to be ice cream but I can't really say it smells like or feels like ice cream to me if that makes any sense. Maybe it's the slightly grainy musk that you don't love? The drydown is not entirely smooth for me.
From your list I tried Le Jardin de Monsieur Li, I actually owned it , but I think I didn't try it enough in different weather, so when I did try it it didn't project enough. So I sold it. Today was also the first day I selected my spring list. And wore Jo Malone Mimosa and Cardamom. For Jo Malone it surprisingly lasts.
I've not tried mimosa and cardamom, I will check it out, I love cardamom! I agree that I think Monsieur li actually works best in slightly cooler spring than perhaps in summer. I think it might struggle in really hot weather. Thanks for watching ❤️ happy spring 😊
Compliments are sadly rare these days. I think it was because I was going out without him, so he noticed. 😂 The Miller Harris is really cosy. I love it. 🥰
I have Black Orchid and Orchid Soleil. I have been thinking about buying Velvet Orchid too because I have a feeling that it will be discontinued sometime in the near future. Tom Ford tends to do that. They already discontinued Orchid Soleil.
Hi Claire! I’m here for the nailpolish! 👌🏻❤😉😆 Love your orignal picks. I’m kinda boring where I mostly reach for my florals until I can binge use my coconuts and fruity scents. 😬 Weather is still around zero here and I still have 4 feet of snow in my yard but hey, a girl can fight the elements! 😅😆
Hello Julie! Yes I know you are a coconut fiend! 😂 And a floral girl! Wow, sounds very much like spring might be a while for you. Nail polish is a rarity for me but this is a nails Inc gel one, Piccadilly Circus. 🥰
Good afternoon Claire hope you are doing well. My Spring selection will be: Love by Tous Twilly by Hermes, Agent Provacateur Electric, So First by Van Cleef and True Religion, Wish by Chopard, Anáis Anáis premier delice.
Hi Yvonne! Premier délice is the pear fragrance isn't it? I would love to try it. You have some interesting choices there, I love twilly. Thanks for watching ❤️
Hi Claire 👋 I love your reviews, wonderful! 💐💗 I'm currently going from late Autumn and into Winter on 1st June. It's already really cold down here in New Zealand 🇳🇿🥶 I hope you have a lovely Spring 💐 & Summer 🔆 Big Hugs 🤗 ❤🥝✌️
Hi Fiona ☺️ I would love to visit New Zealand, it always looks magical and so quiet and peaceful there. I hope winter is not too cold and that different fragrances are are some compensation. Have a lovely week. 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume Hi Claire 👋 I would love to show you around if you ever do come, will be so fun! 💗 There's not too many people here compared to the UK & it's wild, rugged & beautiful! Am just about to transition to my Winter frags shortly, I am a wuss with the cold lol 😆🥶 Much Love ❤️🥝✌️
I'm a little late to the party, but at least I'm writing this on the first night of Spring:) I've been reviewing what purchases I've made from last year up to the present and I've come up with a list of candidates -- either because of their green, spring floral or aquatic notes. My traditional Spring perfumes are L' Air du Temps and Champs-Elysees; that will never change. Creed's Silver Mountain Water (Dossier dupe Musky Green Tea). Sparkling, just like its name. How did they do that? Apres L' Ondee -- Guerlain. The magical one. Delicate, ephemeral; iris, violet and heliotrope are woven throughout. It's often been compared to a Monet painting. Seems to evoke emotions and memories. A twin sister of L' Heure Bleue, which is my perfect late Autumn fragrance. Gramercy Park by Bond No. 9. Probably the "greenest" fragrance I've ever had. I'm familiar with the actual Gramercy Park and the fragrance is a perfect evocation of it. Black Opium Illicit Green -- A different kind of "green" take on the original. You wouldn't expect it to work with the Black Opium DNA, but it does. It's the fig leaf, pear and green mandarin top notes that set the stage. Muguet by Guerlain; original formula recreated in Dua's "Divine Green". With lily-of-the-valley in top, middle and base notes, supported by lemon, freesia, rose, iris and ylang-ylang. Iris Gris (1946) / L’ Iris de Fath by Jacques Fath (2023) Dua's take on the original and recent reformulation is called "Holy Grail" because the original was said to the greatest iris fragrance. From discovery sets: Narcisse Taiji by Atelier Materi -- Love that prominent Narcissus with hay scent. En Passant by Frederic Malle -- I sometimes find lilac to be too cloying, but here it is paired with some watery notes as well as cucumber, wheat and petitgrain. Light and delightful. Nuit de Bakelite by Naomi Goodsir (Love that name). A niche use of green notes, angelica, tuberose and artemisia along with some unusual suspects. Perfect in the spring air.
What a fab list, you need a channel! Do you feel like making videos? I want to go try après l'ondee, narcisse taiji and en passant. I have access to those and might go on Thursday if I get chance. I quite like illicit green, I agree, it's a nice one. One of the more interesting flankers of black opium, I wish I had that rather than the intense. 😊
Hi Claire I have Eau so Decadent and I agree it is a bit green. I don’t love it. I blazed through it because it is quite light and fresh. I have a little left. For me it is a bit meh. I have used un jardin sur le nil. I loved it. We have discussed Cerutti and it is a beautiful fragrance but I think I might have used enough of it for this life and the next. I have no idea what I plan to use this summer. I may revisit D&G light blue or Estée Lauder Pleasures - though the latter is quite a loud one. I do want to smell cool and fresh and leave the warm fragrances for cold weather 😊. Lovely vid - as usual.
Thank you! ❤️ Did you try the new Hermes un jardin flanker? I saw it the other day, but I already had an armful if stuff I'd tested 😂 Oh yes pleasures is loud! I have a friend that wears that one. Spring summer is definitely time to break out the ones you feel you cant wear in the winter, it makes the season all the more special! Thanks for watching ❤️
Hey, Claire! It's finally spring 💚 I also enjoy Ambre & Heliotrope in spring time. I need to check out more Miller Harris fragrances.. sounds lovely! ❤
Yes violet Ida is an unexpected love. Took me a while to get into it though, the carrot seed is a lot to begin with 🤣 the drydown is gorgeous though. Thanks for watching ❤️
Love your spring fragrance choices Claire. I'm tempted to test the Hermes one, it sounds perfect for the season. A Kumquat note is unusual. I purchased Soleil de Capri by Montale recently and it's my first fragrance with a kumquat note. Makes a change from the more usual citrus scents. Your husband must've really liked Burning Cherry to compliment you! 😂 He sounds like my husband - no interest in fragrances whatsoever 🙄 Have a lovely Sunday 💖💖💖
Yes I had no clue what kumquat smelt like at all! I agree, it makes a nice change from the usual citrus. My husband doesn't normally say anything much about fragrance so I was shocked, but actually I was going out without him with some friends so I guess he was taking more notice than normal. 🤣 Have a lovely Sunday 🥰
The canadian spring has not decided to come around yet but I am already thinking of my spring scent line up. I want to try the Narciso Ambree, I have actually not tried anything from that line of the cube perfumes and I heard some are getting discontinued so I might grab one of them.
Yes, I've noticed that poudrée, the EDP and the red cube have disappeared here already. Such a shame, it's a great line. Thanks for watching ❤️ I hope spring comes soon for you 😊
Yes probably burning cherry would fit better with autumn but I've been wearing it and enjoying it so much recently that I thought I'd include it 😂 un jardin Ive only tried a few from, I need to try them all! 🥰
Hi Claire! I think I'll actually like Le Jardin de Monsieur Li. When I saw you talking about it, I actually went to my decants waiting for testing and tried. Looks promissing. I really enjoyed wearing Un Jardin sur le Toit last Summer, but the Un Jardin sur la Lagune had a ''blood smell to it''. I think it's the salt or magnolia note that smelt weird on my skin. Magnolia is a tricky note for me sometimes. I'm a huge fan of lilac in Spring though. Love Dama Bianca and A Drop d'Issey to name two.
Oh that's interesting! I have a decant of un jardin sur le nil but I've not tried the other two that you mention. Interesting that you get blood from Sur la Lagune. Definitely try in jardin de Monsieur li. I didn't think it was me the first few times I tried it but I think it was just too cold for it. Have a lovely Sunday 🥰 ooh and I love drop d'issey! ❤️
Hi Claire 🤗 I tried cerruti 1881 the last week. It reminded me of Elizabeth Arden white tea. I don't like the Elizabeth Arden one but loved cerruti. It's more pleasant and could be a perfect summer scent. Your description of le jardin de monsieur Li as a Japanese garden makes me want to add it to my collection. It sounds so good ❤
Hi Souad! Happy spring 🌼 Cerruti 1881 is totally underrated. It's really easy to wear and versatile. I want to try the other le jardin fragrances, I've only tried Sur le nil and Monsieur li, did you try any of the others? 🥰
I am intrigued by the whole le jardin line. I have only a sample of "un jardin après le mousson". This one is a Spicy,cold and aquatic with some floral undertones. it has ginger and black pepper. I get melon and cucumber even though they are not listed in the list of the notes🙃🙂
Hi Claire, what a great video and some amazing picks. I adore Tom Ford Velvet Orchid and of course not to forger about Narciso Rodriguez and his amazing fragrances. I did tested out last week the Ambre version, but until i do not run out from my other cubes , I would not really plan to add it into my collection, although is a beautiful scent. ❤❤❤ Thanks for sharing with us these gorgeous fragrances . Spring here in Cyprus is a bit I would say moody: we have days where we have 24 Celsius degrees and next thing you know, it is 13 or 16 degrees.
I am dreaming of 13 or 16 degrees 😂 I agree with you about the cubes. They are all quite similar, I don't think multiples are needed, I am glad to have ambrée because poudrée is nearly gone but otherwise I would just stick with one I think! Velvet orchid is gorgeous! Thanks for watching ❤️
Hello! I've only tried the old formulation of Ange ou démon, but to me that one is like root beer in the drydown, really lovely 😊 poudrée is lighter, more huggy, friendly rather than sexy, it's pink smelling, light airy rose, sweet airy powdery and makeuppy with background gentle white florals. They are both lovely but quite different 😊
From these I have tried the Lalique, Narciso, and tried almost all of Ferragamo (unfortunately I don't find his line really unique and they don't last on me). I don't have a really defined seasonal perfumes I'm using whatever I want in a certain moment, but I'm using more body mists
I really like the Narciso cubes. It's a shame a lot are being discontinued. The ferragamo fragrances, I agree, they aren't unique, but I find ribelle a happy one and an easy wear. It is also really inexpensive here. 🥰
Yes Winter never ever ends these days. Claire I don't like it 😂 Velvet Orchid is a really nice one, I do enjoy it and yes the happy version. You smell awesome in Black Orchid though. Burning Cherry is rather very lovely like a cherry rose incense. Rather unique and lovely. That heliotrope one is quote nice, a touch almondy for me by the end but lovely Yes no violet in it 😅 very carrot seed but not too bad actually very comfy and snuggly isn't it. Definetly one that would suit you. Even Eau so Decandant Eau not so likely. The original wasn't my favourite. I'm saying that, have i tried this one? Maybe The next one sounds somewhat interesting and citrus and resins definitely sounds good for our "spring" with a floral wateriness. Whst am I saying didn't I try this one and really quite like it? My mind isn't working today. The pearl d lalique is really rather lovely isn't it. And I'd say yes your description is really good for it. My sister has that Ceruti and yes it's simple but lovely isn't it. The NR I don't think I'd sniffed that? I keep saying that. I'm sure with that one tho. It's does sound nice. And the last one. First what's up with a stinky Ylang-ylang Claire 😱 love it. And loved the Italian. I will probably wear Luna that u hate 😂 and let's face it loads of heavy ones not appropriate. Great video mate 🙂 and loved the lippy
I really don't love velvet orchid like black orchid but it's definitely more suitable for spring and it's work friendly. I don't think black orchid would feel right at work. I've been wearing that and burning cherry a lot recently. Completely neglecting other stuff... The excitement of new fragrances. I was quite surprised that you liked violet Ida. I don't think you would like Eau so decadent, and I'm not sure I've sent you any because of that... I sent you Monsieur li recently, with the Tom ford and the sugared patchouli, so yes you probably tried it? I didn't think it was me really but the scent itself, I enjoy. I really like Perles de Lalique 😊 considering people called it a midnight poison dupe, I was shocked when I really didn't think it was 🤣 If I didn't send you ambrée, I will do, but I don't remember... Any yes you know what, I love some stinky ylang ylang now, but there was certainly a time when I didn't, just hadn't sniffed very much I think and I associated it with old school Chanel etc. You might smell amazing in Luna, I mean, I doubt I'd be able to smell it 🤣 but the juniper is so so good Yes I'm loving this colour. Been wearing it non stop. It makes me happy. 😊
@@dr.claire.perfume well good 🙂 you should be happy 💄 I'm glad I probably haven't tried them 😂 I'm not senial yet. Yes vintage ylang-ylang can be alot but it has that addictive touch doesn't it. Yes me too carrot seed and orris aren't my jam but it has something about itx doesn't it
Not senile 😊 Yes ylang ylang is very moreish, it's one I keep sniffing at. It's quite sensuous, like jasmine and tuberose. Violet Ida is huggy to me, comforting. 🙂
@@dr.claire.perfume lol thats both funny and cute, and i get it on how he liked it immediately.. its a stunning perfume and of course ur hubby knows u best and knows what u like etc
Good morning Claire🤗 I’m so excited for your list! Velvet orchid is lovely! I did not know the les gourmande has a fig note! Love fig 😊 Cerruti is one of my favorites! Lovely lineup
Thank you Sunny! I hope you've had a fabulous weekend! 😊
I adore Narcisso Ambree! It’s so good for spring and summer. Warmer weather can’t come soon enough 😅
I know, I can't wait! Ambrée is gorgeous 🥰
Pining for spring here in NE Ohio, but like you, am still dusting off the fresher scents in my small collection. I also really love Lovefest Burning Cherry.

I can totally relate to how random spring can be 🤷♀️We are actually still in deep winter with piles of snow and frozen ground !!
This last week has been very varied. Lovely sunshine and 12oC Vs snow and freezing weather. 🤷♀️
I think the color of your shirt is really making your eye color pop! Love that!! You look beautiful!
Hi Carmen! Thank you! 🥰
Such a gorgeous selection! I really love how you describe these fragrances 😍
Thank you 💕
I so agree with you on Decadence! I like the flankers better 🙈. These are such lovely choices. I really love that lip color on you btw!
Decadence is loved isn't it? But I think people overlook the flankers. And thank you! ❤️
Heliotrope is the only one I love out of the three Reminiscence fragrances from the same line. The other two don't last on me. I absolutely adore Narciso Ambree! 😍It's one of my husband's favorites from my collection! ❤I love any fragrance with frangipani! 😍

People absolutely love Cerruti 1881. Ambrée is very sunny feeling. Monsieur li took me a while to get into and I'm still unsure it's me but I think I would love to smell it on someone else.
Signorina ribelle is just a fun one. I've been wearing that a lot to work recently. Thanks for watching ❤️ and have a lovely weekend!
I'll be wearing a blast from the past today, Lancome Poêm that my daughter has bought me for Mothers Day.
Wow, that's a lovely gift! My friend wears Poême. Happy mother's Day ❤️
Hey Claire. Yes Velvet Orchid is more wearable than BO ❤
Completely! But I still love black orchid, that's a special one for me!
Hello Claire. Thank you for the video. Here in Israel we are already in the summer, but i enjoy wearing spring floral perfumes 💐💐💐
Hi Yulia! Lucky you! Summer sounds great right now 😍 I would love it to be above 5oC for more than two days running 🤣 thanks for watching ❤️
Heliotrope is so freaking good. Love it. ❤
It's a fab one! 🥰
I would really like to try velvet orchid as the original black orchid is one of my favourite perfumes. In Corfu where I had lived for two years they make a wonderful liqueur off qumquats.

Hi lovely Claire! Winter just doesn’t want to leave where I am. We had snow and it’s freezing 🥶
Oh no, I hope it soon warms up! If feel like another week or two and it will be nice here! 🥰
Narcisso do musk like no other brand ,I love poudree
Thanks for sharing Clare
Hugs ❤
Yes, it's definitely their thing! 👌 Thanks for watching Frances 😊
Everything is in bloom here, so this is very timely. 🙂 I love the mint note in Le Jardin de Monsieur Li. I haven't quite figured out the kumquat, either. Cheers, Claire!
Wow, you are lucky to live somewhere so lovely and warm. The mint surprised me that it was so prominent in le jardin de Monsieur li. I wasn't expecting to smell it much for some reason. Thanks for watching ❤️
Looking beauts today love, I like that lippie on you! 😘
Thank you! I went out on Saturday and opened a new one so I thought I'd wear it for a video too 😊
Thanks for your video Claire!
It sounds like you are really enjoying your birthday fragrance.
The Velvet Orchid does smell more everyday wearable than the Black Orchid.
I too enjoy florals for Spring. When ever it finally arrives... It's pretty cold here. There is still ice and snow everywhere.
Today is supposed to be 'National Perfume Day'? A sale came up at one of my favourite perfume shops and I decided to get a fragrance I tested that gives me Spring and Summer vibes. Zoologist Cockatiel. It's kind of aldehydic and sharp on initial spray with notes of rhubarb, raspberry and champagne. I found the opening uplifting and effervescent. Then it settles into a softly powdery, vanillic, heliotrope through the mid. It is supposed to have some patchouli and guaiac wood in the base, but to my nose it's pretty light on those dark sounding base notes. It's modern and vintage at the same time. Soft and pretty without being immature. I will wear it when I want a cheerful fragrance. I don't have too many fruity fragrances and the fruit notes do eventually dissipate. But one needs to like vanilla to enjoy this fragrance because it is the most prominent note along with the powdery quality.
Have a great day and take care!
💛~ Jenn
Ooh cockatiel! I've not tried that one, I've tried hummingbird and I might be reviewing harvest mouse soon if I do a collab with some other channels, not sure if that's going ahead yet... Zoologist strike me as a very interesting brand. Cockatiel sounds gorgeous, I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for watching Jenn! ❤️ Hope you have a fab week!
Hi Claire ❤ I appreciate that you considered the metamorphosis of Springtime from cold to very warm 😊 Eau So Decadent sounds right up my alley❣️ Ozonics/Aquatics usually appeal to me. By any chance have you tried Thé Yulong from Armani Prive? I've been secretly reaching for it now that Spring is in the air...It has to be a secret because I got so many perfumes for my birthday that if I wear any scent not gifted to me in the last month someone is bound to get butthurt 😅😂
Yes, from what I know of your taste, I think you'd like Eau so decadent. I've not tried thé yulong, I've tried the gardenia and the jasmine fragrances only from that line, I will add it to my list of things to check out. And yeah same, my birthday was at the end of February, and burning cherry was a gift that I got but I also bought velvet orchid and have been obsessed 🙊
I wore Eau so Decadent today! I'm so glad you introduced me to it. It was warm this morning and I went for it, and it was so wonderful (I had forgotten how good it was as I had not worn it since last summer). The afternoon was very rainy and it just worked so well. Can still smell it on myself now.
I really enjoyed the sample of Le Jardin de Monsieur Li you sent. I might have to pick that one up too, it's lovely and not a typical citrus.
I'm glad you are enjoying Perles de Lalique 💕
Eau so decadent is one that I always come back to every spring. It's just so refreshing but enveloping too. Icy and clean and fresh and even grey green.
Monsieur li I wasn't sure about to begin with, but it's grown on me massively, I felt like it wasn't me, actually though, it's nice to wear something different.
I am loving Perles de Lalique, thank you so much! I love the fizzy feel! 😊 Thanks for watching ❤️
@@dr.claire.perfume I'm so grateful you gave it a home! I like the scent, I just don't feel its me ❤
I totally get that 🙂
I love your spring fragrance list
I will be wearing velvet orchid today
Thanks for sharing
Fab choice, you will smell great! 🥰
lovely choices and a solid list!
some very springy scents here ♥
and i luuuv Le Jardin de Mr Li, very gentle frag, i hear theres a new one from that line cant wait to try it as well and asap!..
Yes I saw that there's another out now too! I also want to try it! Thanks for watching ❤️
I can imagine Lovefest to wear beautifully on a cooler spring day! Monsieur Li is a summer staple here about, great for warmer spring days I guess.
Interested to try Violet Ida! I hope I can get a sample ❤
Yes, violet Ida is an interesting one. Monsieur li feels perfect for warmer weather but I really don't know how long it would last in hotter temperatures, does it last for you there?
@@dr.claire.perfume Very fleeting hahaha
Ok 👍
Great picks hun, haven’t tried most of what you’ve mentioned yet. Thanks for sharing
Thank you ❤️
Lately I have been using fruity scents like Eden Juicy Apple 01 🍎, coconuty floral like Utopia 21 🥥, and Encore, a milky and spicy Iris 🧡
Oooh I love utopia. I might wear that today! Encore sounds interesting ☺️
Happy Saturday Dr. Claire. Well we thought spring had arrived as we had a short warm spell but winter decided to make its last appearance and we are back to freezing temperatures. I’m still wearing fall/winter leaning fragrances. But I’m watching all of the spring videos in hopes that will change soon.
Yes me too! I'm willing on spring with my fragrance choices too. Last Friday it snowed, this Friday was 12oC and sunny. It seems very random still at the moment. Thanks for watching ❤️
I love Monsieur Li! The kumquat is wonderful. They’re a great fruit to eat if you haven’t-makes you feel a bit like you’re a giant, eating these little citrus fruits whole with skin on. At first I ignored this one, thinking it was too much like Sur le Nil, but it really isn’t at all. There’s something a little fuzzy about it that I really like too.
OK, I’m digging out my Eau So Decadent decant to test again now for the first time since 2021. Spring is coming.
Hi Margo! I really wasn't sure about Monsieur li to begin with but it's really grown on me. Not necessarily me but something a bit different... Eau so decadent is probably my favourite Marc Jacobs fragrance. I like the freshness and it's long lasting. 🥰
I remember it being more green and watery fresh the last time I tried, and today it seemed super sweet 🤔
I love many of the Signorina line, but I can’t decide on Ribelle. There is something slightly frosty that makes me think of ice cream in a pleasant way… But maybe the coconut and/or musks sometimes rub me the wrong way? I haven’t tried it in warmer weather yet though, so maybe that will be the trick…
Sweet? Ooh maybe the pear or blackcurrant?
Ribelle does have something that is clearly meant to be ice cream but I can't really say it smells like or feels like ice cream to me if that makes any sense. Maybe it's the slightly grainy musk that you don't love? The drydown is not entirely smooth for me.
From your list I tried Le Jardin de Monsieur Li, I actually owned it , but I think I didn't try it enough in different weather, so when I did try it it didn't project enough. So I sold it. Today was also the first day I selected my spring list. And wore Jo Malone Mimosa and Cardamom. For Jo Malone it surprisingly lasts.
I've not tried mimosa and cardamom, I will check it out, I love cardamom! I agree that I think Monsieur li actually works best in slightly cooler spring than perhaps in summer. I think it might struggle in really hot weather. Thanks for watching ❤️ happy spring 😊
I’m going to have to try Heliotrope as you have featured it several times and I love marzipan. I’m really enjoying your content. Thank you!
Thank you! I hope that you enjoy it 😊 thanks for watching ❤️
Compliments from Hubby is my fav, I bet you did smell delicious 🤤 I'll be trying the Miller Harris fragrance, I love a lipstick type of fragrance
Compliments are sadly rare these days. I think it was because I was going out without him, so he noticed. 😂 The Miller Harris is really cosy. I love it. 🥰
I have Black Orchid and Orchid Soleil. I have been thinking about buying Velvet Orchid too because I have a feeling that it will be discontinued sometime in the near future. Tom Ford tends to do that. They already discontinued Orchid Soleil.
I agree, that's why I got it because with orchid soleil, I love it and it's virtually impossible to find it now. 🤷♀️
Hi Claire! I’m here for the nailpolish! 👌🏻❤😉😆 Love your orignal picks. I’m kinda boring where I mostly reach for my florals until I can binge use my coconuts and fruity scents. 😬 Weather is still around zero here and I still have 4 feet of snow in my yard but hey, a girl can fight the elements! 😅😆
Hello Julie! Yes I know you are a coconut fiend! 😂 And a floral girl! Wow, sounds very much like spring might be a while for you. Nail polish is a rarity for me but this is a nails Inc gel one, Piccadilly Circus. 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume Nails Inc is a favorite nailpolish brand in my collection! 👌🏻👌🏻
They are great polishes in interesting colours.
Good afternoon Claire hope you are doing well. My Spring selection will be: Love by Tous
Twilly by Hermes, Agent Provacateur Electric, So First by
Van Cleef and True Religion, Wish by Chopard, Anáis Anáis premier delice.
Hi Yvonne! Premier délice is the pear fragrance isn't it? I would love to try it. You have some interesting choices there, I love twilly. Thanks for watching ❤️
Hi Claire! 🧡🧡
Violet ida sound really nice, I imagine it as smelling a "mom" leather bag 😺😺
I love vintage handbags so I love that smell! 😂
Hey Claire! I want that heliotrope one! 😊❤
It's one of my favourites 😋
Hi hun here watching, miss your beautiful face. Can’t wait to see your picks.
Hi Nika! Nice to see you back 😊
If my husband complimented that I smell delicious, I would take that as a win! “Pretty good” is high praise these days 😂
Haha, it was only because I was going out with some friends and he wasn't and he noticed me a bit more I think. Trust me, it's unusual. 🤣
Good morning Clare ❤
Hello Frances! I hope you are having a lovely Saturday ❤️
Hi Claire 👋 I love your reviews, wonderful! 💐💗 I'm currently going from late Autumn and into Winter on 1st June. It's already really cold down here in New Zealand 🇳🇿🥶 I hope you have a lovely Spring 💐 & Summer 🔆 Big Hugs 🤗 ❤🥝✌️
Hi Fiona ☺️ I would love to visit New Zealand, it always looks magical and so quiet and peaceful there. I hope winter is not too cold and that different fragrances are are some compensation. Have a lovely week. 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume Hi Claire 👋 I would love to show you around if you ever do come, will be so fun! 💗 There's not too many people here compared to the UK & it's wild, rugged & beautiful! Am just about to transition to my Winter frags shortly, I am a wuss with the cold lol 😆🥶 Much Love ❤️🥝✌️
Oh thank you! I hope I will visit one day 😊 Me too! I love the sunshine 🌞 and hate the winter.
Have a great spring🍀🍀
Thanks! You too 🌼
I'm a little late to the party, but at least I'm writing this on the first night of Spring:) I've been reviewing what purchases I've made from last year up to the present and I've come up with a list of candidates -- either because of their green, spring floral or aquatic notes. My traditional Spring perfumes are L' Air du Temps and Champs-Elysees; that will never change.
Creed's Silver Mountain Water (Dossier dupe Musky Green Tea). Sparkling, just like its name. How did they do that?
Apres L' Ondee -- Guerlain. The magical one. Delicate, ephemeral; iris, violet and heliotrope are woven throughout. It's often been compared to a Monet painting. Seems to evoke emotions and memories. A twin sister of L' Heure Bleue, which is my perfect late Autumn fragrance.
Gramercy Park by Bond No. 9. Probably the "greenest" fragrance I've ever had. I'm familiar with the actual Gramercy Park and the fragrance is a perfect evocation of it.
Black Opium Illicit Green -- A different kind of "green" take on the original. You wouldn't expect it to work with the Black Opium DNA, but it does. It's the fig leaf, pear and green mandarin top notes that set the stage.
Muguet by Guerlain; original formula recreated in Dua's "Divine Green". With lily-of-the-valley in top, middle and base notes, supported by lemon, freesia, rose, iris and ylang-ylang.
Iris Gris (1946) / L’ Iris de Fath by Jacques Fath (2023) Dua's take on the original and recent reformulation is called "Holy Grail" because the original was said to the greatest iris fragrance.
From discovery sets:
Narcisse Taiji by Atelier Materi -- Love that prominent Narcissus with hay scent.
En Passant by Frederic Malle -- I sometimes find lilac to be too cloying, but here it is paired with some watery notes as well as cucumber, wheat and petitgrain. Light and delightful.
Nuit de Bakelite by Naomi Goodsir (Love that name). A niche use of green notes, angelica, tuberose and artemisia along with some unusual suspects. Perfect in the spring air.
What a fab list, you need a channel! Do you feel like making videos?
I want to go try après l'ondee, narcisse taiji and en passant. I have access to those and might go on Thursday if I get chance.
I quite like illicit green, I agree, it's a nice one. One of the more interesting flankers of black opium, I wish I had that rather than the intense. 😊
Just tested Velvet Orchid in store. I love it ❤
It's beautiful ❤️
Hi Claire
I have Eau so Decadent and I agree it is a bit green. I don’t love it. I blazed through it because it is quite light and fresh. I have a little left. For me it is a bit meh.
I have used un jardin sur le nil. I loved it. We have discussed Cerutti and it is a beautiful fragrance but I think I might have used enough of it for this life and the next.
I have no idea what I plan to use this summer. I may revisit D&G light blue or Estée Lauder Pleasures - though the latter is quite a loud one.
I do want to smell cool and fresh and leave the warm fragrances for cold weather 😊.
Lovely vid - as usual.
Thank you! ❤️ Did you try the new Hermes un jardin flanker? I saw it the other day, but I already had an armful if stuff I'd tested 😂
Oh yes pleasures is loud! I have a friend that wears that one. Spring summer is definitely time to break out the ones you feel you cant wear in the winter, it makes the season all the more special! Thanks for watching ❤️
@@dr.claire.perfume Not got round to that. I want to sample it first. Hermes can be pricey. I don’t want to be left with a fragrance I can’t bear.
I will certainly try it when I next see it. 😊
Hey, Claire! It's finally spring 💚 I also enjoy Ambre & Heliotrope in spring time. I need to check out more Miller Harris fragrances.. sounds lovely! ❤
Yes violet Ida is an unexpected love. Took me a while to get into it though, the carrot seed is a lot to begin with 🤣 the drydown is gorgeous though. Thanks for watching ❤️
Love your spring fragrance choices Claire. I'm tempted to test the Hermes one, it sounds perfect for the season. A Kumquat note is unusual. I purchased Soleil de Capri by Montale recently and it's my first fragrance with a kumquat note. Makes a change from the more usual citrus scents.
Your husband must've really liked Burning Cherry to compliment you! 😂 He sounds like my husband - no interest in fragrances whatsoever 🙄
Have a lovely Sunday 💖💖💖
Yes I had no clue what kumquat smelt like at all! I agree, it makes a nice change from the usual citrus.
My husband doesn't normally say anything much about fragrance so I was shocked, but actually I was going out without him with some friends so I guess he was taking more notice than normal. 🤣
Have a lovely Sunday 🥰
The canadian spring has not decided to come around yet but I am already thinking of my spring scent line up. I want to try the Narciso Ambree, I have actually not tried anything from that line of the cube perfumes and I heard some are getting discontinued so I might grab one of them.
Yes, I've noticed that poudrée, the EDP and the red cube have disappeared here already. Such a shame, it's a great line. Thanks for watching ❤️ I hope spring comes soon for you 😊
Love this list and can’t wait for spring (it’s not here yet either 😕). Narciso Ambree is most definitely a fabulous option!!!🧡🧡🧡
Hey Joss! Yes I love ambrée! ❤️
I love burning cherry for fall. I love the signorina line. I am obsessed with the un Jardin line as well.
Yes probably burning cherry would fit better with autumn but I've been wearing it and enjoying it so much recently that I thought I'd include it 😂 un jardin Ive only tried a few from, I need to try them all! 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume apres is the only one I don't like.
Ok, noted 😊
Hi Claire! I think I'll actually like Le Jardin de Monsieur Li. When I saw you talking about it, I actually went to my decants waiting for testing and tried. Looks promissing. I really enjoyed wearing Un Jardin sur le Toit last Summer, but the Un Jardin sur la Lagune had a ''blood smell to it''. I think it's the salt or magnolia note that smelt weird on my skin. Magnolia is a tricky note for me sometimes.
I'm a huge fan of lilac in Spring though. Love Dama Bianca and A Drop d'Issey to name two.
Oh that's interesting! I have a decant of un jardin sur le nil but I've not tried the other two that you mention. Interesting that you get blood from Sur la Lagune. Definitely try in jardin de Monsieur li. I didn't think it was me the first few times I tried it but I think it was just too cold for it. Have a lovely Sunday 🥰 ooh and I love drop d'issey! ❤️
Hi Claire 😊 Heliotrope looks so lovely. Do you pick up on the patchouli note?
Hi Melissa! Hope you are well! I wouldn't say the patchouli is prominent at all in heliotrope. 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume Thanks ☺️
I loved this video Claire! You described the fragrances so well and for the ones that also own, very accurately🌷
Thank you! I'm happy that you enjoyed it! 🥰
Great picks Claire 😍👌I think I’ll wear my Velvet Orchid inspiration by Dua today 😉
Thank you! ❤️ Fab choice 👌 I've been wearing velvet orchid a lot these last few weeks. 😊
Love these picks!! I really enjoy Oh so decadent in the rainy weather!
Yes, it's rainy spring day isn't it? Bit of a wet English garden one.
Hi Claire 🤗
I tried cerruti 1881 the last week. It reminded me of Elizabeth Arden white tea.
I don't like the Elizabeth Arden one but loved cerruti. It's more pleasant and could be a perfect summer scent.
Your description of le jardin de monsieur Li as a Japanese garden makes me want to add it to my collection. It sounds so good ❤
Hi Souad! Happy spring 🌼 Cerruti 1881 is totally underrated. It's really easy to wear and versatile. I want to try the other le jardin fragrances, I've only tried Sur le nil and Monsieur li, did you try any of the others? 🥰
I am intrigued by the whole le jardin line. I have only a sample of "un jardin après le mousson". This one is a Spicy,cold and aquatic with some floral undertones. it has ginger and black pepper. I get melon and cucumber even though they are not listed in the list of the notes🙃🙂
Ooh that's interesting, maybe there's some calone? I will try it if I come across it. 🥰
Waz ere Saturday 2023... 😜 Will comment properly when I can watch in peace
😂 love that 👍
@@dr.claire.perfume well my day with a maniac has been very bloomin long
You love her really, a cute maniac.
@@dr.claire.perfume well I'm never bored with her endless chatter
Well you've me too, so lots of chatter. ❤️
Hi Claire, what a great video and some amazing picks. I adore Tom Ford Velvet Orchid and of course not to forger about Narciso Rodriguez and his amazing fragrances. I did tested out last week the Ambre version, but until i do not run out from my other cubes , I would not really plan to add it into my collection, although is a beautiful scent. ❤❤❤ Thanks for sharing with us these gorgeous fragrances . Spring here in Cyprus is a bit I would say moody: we have days where we have 24 Celsius degrees and next thing you know, it is 13 or 16 degrees.
I am dreaming of 13 or 16 degrees 😂 I agree with you about the cubes. They are all quite similar, I don't think multiples are needed, I am glad to have ambrée because poudrée is nearly gone but otherwise I would just stick with one I think! Velvet orchid is gorgeous! Thanks for watching ❤️
@@dr.claire.perfume We thank you for being part of this fragrance community and for dedication and amazing content ❤❤
Thank you! You too! 🥰
I've just purchased reminiscence heliotrope after the sample u sent me. 👍🥰🦊 Will u be trying the latest kayali ?
I think so, someone I know just ordered it, so I might get to try it next weekend! I loved burning cherry, and I'm glad you love heliotrope! 🥰
I agree about Devine decadence,I tried to like it but it was a big fat NO for me
Yeah, I just can't with that one. 😂
Hi Claire is Narciso Rodriguez Poudree any close to Angel ou Démon by Givenchy?
Hello! I've only tried the old formulation of Ange ou démon, but to me that one is like root beer in the drydown, really lovely 😊 poudrée is lighter, more huggy, friendly rather than sexy, it's pink smelling, light airy rose, sweet airy powdery and makeuppy with background gentle white florals. They are both lovely but quite different 😊
Здравствуйте! Спасибо!)) вкусный аромат)) Тоже попробуйте))+
Thanks for watching ❤️
From these I have tried the Lalique, Narciso, and tried almost all of Ferragamo (unfortunately I don't find his line really unique and they don't last on me).
I don't have a really defined seasonal perfumes I'm using whatever I want in a certain moment, but I'm using more body mists
I really like the Narciso cubes. It's a shame a lot are being discontinued. The ferragamo fragrances, I agree, they aren't unique, but I find ribelle a happy one and an easy wear. It is also really inexpensive here. 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume Here too but I can't justify the longevity on me.
Wow that one I can smell for a while on me, maybe the climate where you are?
@@dr.claire.perfume could be or just me, most of perfumes don't last on me
I think it's a combination of things sometimes.
Yes Winter never ever ends these days. Claire I don't like it 😂
Velvet Orchid is a really nice one, I do enjoy it and yes the happy version. You smell awesome in Black Orchid though.
Burning Cherry is rather very lovely like a cherry rose incense. Rather unique and lovely.
That heliotrope one is quote nice, a touch almondy for me by the end but lovely
Yes no violet in it 😅 very carrot seed but not too bad actually very comfy and snuggly isn't it. Definetly one that would suit you.
Even Eau so Decandant Eau not so likely. The original wasn't my favourite. I'm saying that, have i tried this one? Maybe
The next one sounds somewhat interesting and citrus and resins definitely sounds good for our "spring" with a floral wateriness. Whst am I saying didn't I try this one and really quite like it? My mind isn't working today.
The pearl d lalique is really rather lovely isn't it. And I'd say yes your description is really good for it.
My sister has that Ceruti and yes it's simple but lovely isn't it.
The NR I don't think I'd sniffed that? I keep saying that. I'm sure with that one tho. It's does sound nice.
And the last one. First what's up with a stinky Ylang-ylang Claire 😱 love it. And loved the Italian.
I will probably wear Luna that u hate 😂 and let's face it loads of heavy ones not appropriate.
Great video mate 🙂 and loved the lippy
I really don't love velvet orchid like black orchid but it's definitely more suitable for spring and it's work friendly. I don't think black orchid would feel right at work. I've been wearing that and burning cherry a lot recently. Completely neglecting other stuff... The excitement of new fragrances.
I was quite surprised that you liked violet Ida. I don't think you would like Eau so decadent, and I'm not sure I've sent you any because of that...
I sent you Monsieur li recently, with the Tom ford and the sugared patchouli, so yes you probably tried it? I didn't think it was me really but the scent itself, I enjoy.
I really like Perles de Lalique 😊 considering people called it a midnight poison dupe, I was shocked when I really didn't think it was 🤣
If I didn't send you ambrée, I will do, but I don't remember...
Any yes you know what, I love some stinky ylang ylang now, but there was certainly a time when I didn't, just hadn't sniffed very much I think and I associated it with old school Chanel etc.
You might smell amazing in Luna, I mean, I doubt I'd be able to smell it 🤣 but the juniper is so so good
Yes I'm loving this colour. Been wearing it non stop. It makes me happy. 😊
@@dr.claire.perfume well good 🙂 you should be happy 💄
I'm glad I probably haven't tried them 😂 I'm not senial yet.
Yes vintage ylang-ylang can be alot but it has that addictive touch doesn't it.
Yes me too carrot seed and orris aren't my jam but it has something about itx doesn't it
Not senile 😊
Yes ylang ylang is very moreish, it's one I keep sniffing at. It's quite sensuous, like jasmine and tuberose.
Violet Ida is huggy to me, comforting. 🙂
@@dr.claire.perfume yes 🙂 you in a bottle without the cold dusty clay 🤣.
@@scentedsnowdrops I did always want to have a go at pottery 😂 got the perfect fragrance for it.
Oh how l wish l had Oh So Decadent instead of Decadence
Decadence isnt for everyone for sure. ❤️
Black Orchid is a bit too much for me, I’m still trying with it
It's a special one for me but I know it's controversial. 😉
Hello sunshine 🤗🌹Your eyes look very blue today 🥰
I'd been out drinking the night before, maybe it was that?! 😂
@@dr.claire.perfume touchè, cheeky 😈 🤣😂
😂
I am going to have to do a 3 part series for spring... at a minimum
😂 the problems of having 300 perfumes.
I didn’t know they still made cerutti 1881
I know 😱
pardon me, where did u buy that Kayali from? and how much was it?
My husband bought it for my birthday, I think he got it from Boots, he sprayed him with a sample and he liked it. 😂
@@dr.claire.perfume lol thats both funny and cute, and i get it on how he liked it immediately.. its a stunning perfume and of course ur hubby knows u best and knows what u like etc
He nearly always buys a fragrance as a gift. I guess it's a good shout for me.
To me Kumquat smell like a waxy orange
I don't think I ever ate one! I'm jealous!
@@dr.claire.perfume You can eat the peel too (it's thin and sweet- and the kumquat is sour)
Interesting!
