Van Cleef and Arpels perfumes are underrated. They deserve more love for the quality they provide. Classy and overall non-cloying, decent longevity, and good price point.
Great comparison video! I love Bois d'Iris 💕🥰 It's actually my SOTD 😊 It's soft, subtly sweet, and woody. I find it to be unisex, but leans slightly feminine. It lasts 6-8 hours on me, but I wish it projected more. I agree that it has a cool and crisp feel and for that reason I enjoy wearing it in warmer weather.
Me too!!! Bois Doré, Bois d'Iris and Orchidé Vanille are amazing! Just ordered California Rêverie!!! Have you tried Santal Blanc? Wondering how it is... very few reviews.
If you consider the price per milliliter they're not that far apart in overall price. I bought bois d'iris for 110 discounted for 75ml and i paid around 240 for 125ml for the dior prives i own. Btw if you recheck your bottle of bois d'iris you'll see its a 75ml as well. I really enjoyed this video..Well done!
This is a well done comparison which I appreciate! Would you have a similar presentation for La Perla Possibilities? Anything similar? Have q good week-end. 🎉
Hello beautiful Yana! I was so excited to see this video up. I’ve been trying to decide on the fragrances you are talking about. Now time to purchase. Thank you for the great info❤️🌹❤️
Enjoyed this. I love Bois D'Argent and have been wanting to try Bois D'Iris as well so, much appreciated. Another 1 from VC&A I wanna try is Bois Dore which I have heard is similar to Le Labo Tonka 25, haven't tried either so idk for sure. Thanks. - Colin
I'm very interested in trying bois Dore! I only have the fragrance oil for now, but I'm curious to see how it compares. I haven't tried Tonka 25, so I'll be adding that to the list if I like the OG bois Dore
hey girl! this is random but I was on fragrance net and found Nina ricci rose absolu today! I have been trying to get my hands on this for moonnntthhhsss! I needed to tell someone and you and you're recommendation on it was a major influence to me!
Hi hi 💗 New subscriber! I love to smell good too👑 Great to hear your comparison of these. Would love to get my nose on both of them. A few of my favorites Majenty Hidden Cove, L'artisan Parfumeur Mure et Musc, This is Her Zadig&Voltaire, Bootzie, Almond Cookie Carol's Daughter, Bagatelle deGabrielle Omorovicza, TerraNova Rain, Penhaligons Blenheim Bouquet, Zents Sun, Carnival Wax Teaflower, Tsi-La Fiori D’Arancio (As you can tell...I am obsessed with perfume)
havin´ Bois d´Iris and love whole Collection Extraordinaire .... it´s smooth, soft, not overpowering, easily wearable and niché quality for a nice price .... you motivated me to spray it on a coat today :)
Love this series! I desperately want to give Dior’s higher end a try... but I’m just too stingy lol. As I get older, I just love iris as well as other purple flowers... so comforting and clean. I would love to see how you store your collection/an overview collection video. It makes sense that you are an interior designer... your living room is gorgeous! Thanks for posting xo
Okay, I can definitely show my perfume storage 😊 I'm in the process of updating my bedroom right now, so maybe I'll do a video tour and include my perfume storage!
Love how you got distracted by the cap sniff from Dior 😉 I will wear one of these today... but which one nobody knows?! Bois D'argent is like a crisp white shirt that anyone can wear. I agree its not a big projector but more of a trail and breeze. Earlier editions were mega and I my first try of it was from a sample and they were beast modes. Shame but still beautiful
Thank you for the comparaison! I have tried Bois d'Argent and found it a little masculine. Just order Bois d'Iris! Can't wait to compare. Thank you for sharing!!!😘
Yana, I would love to see more of these comparison videos! I watched this video 3 times listening to everything you had to say about each one before I made my final decision. I’m going to go for Bois D’Iris by Van Cleef and Arpels. This wasn’t a easy decision but I feel it is the one for me. Have a wonderful weekend beautiful lady and stay safe😊❤️🌹❤️
I adore Bois d'Iris, never smell Bois d'argent, but the "collection extraordinaire by Van Cleef & Arpels is one of my favorite line, Bois d'amande, Bois doré, Ambre impériale, Orchidée vanille, Rose rouge, Gardénia pétale and California dream are so beautiful
I’ll be waiting for every video of this series, I own Bois D’Argent and I love it but longevity is an issue for me because is not easy to carry that heavy bottle to reapply. I always enjoy your videos 🥰🥰🥰
I have a huge bottle of original formulation of Boy Da Gent (as I call it) it’s my favorite Iris of all time and the reason I don’t wear Dior Homme. Hate to hear the new formulations aren’t good. Love the video as always. Thanks
I really love the Van Cleef line, I've tried most of them and imo they are pretty underhyped! Bois d'Iris was the first bottle that I picked up, and then California Reverie, which is a gorgeous, very natural smelling airy neroli-jasmine-beeswax. I believe they are 75 ml though, not 100 ml. I could see myself picking up bottles of the Orchidee Vanille and Rose Rouge as well, and possibly Bois Dore too
Yana i'so glad i found you!!I got black platinum because of you and i really love it!! Can you do a comparison between gypsy water byredo and colette by tocca!!kisses from Greece!!
Bois D’Iris is great, wonderful sweetness with an airy quality. Personally I prefer it and on a woman especially than BR540. Really like most of that VC&A Collection Extraordinare range its great value, Bois Dore being my favourite.
Fantastic idea! Can you do it the man's version whenever you can I referred you channel to my friends and they definitely like you and also we like to see more content for guys when it's possible
Absolutely! 🥰 I will be doing more men's content as I go. A lot of the time it's blended but I'll try to make more dedicated men's videos. In the meantime, I have all my men's videos organized into a playlist, not sure if you found it but it's in the playlists tab on my channel 😊
I’ve never tried the Van Cleef & Arpels house. Yes love clean woody scents but more on the feminine side. Sounds lovely. I just found Herb and Sea Salt by DUA that is a dupe of Jo Malone Wood & Sage and heard it is way way better than the Jo Malone one. DUA is affordable and high quality. Worth checking out.
I hate dupe videos, but I really enjoyed this idea because it's not a dupe video. I do not like leather notes, so I'm reluctant to try Bois D'Argent. Can you review The Chronic by Bryon Parfums? I don't like leather, but the leather note in that perfume doesn't bother. I actually like that perfume. I need you to tell me if the leather note in Bois D'Argent is similar to the leather note in The Chronic. Love your content.
You beat me to it. 😣. I was going to send you coffee $ to purchase Bois de Argent. I've know you have wanted it for some time. Yes. It is necessary. I will have to find another fragrance. Sure do wish it lasted on your skin longer for you. I have dialed all my social media back. It was making me not me. Finally I know what you do for work. That's awesome. I can see you being a fantastic person to work with on interior designs. Funny thing interior design related. Gradually we are getting our downstairs living room finish. My wife's office is down there. I got an Antelope mount from chest up from someone. While she was gone my son and I hung it above her computer. 😂. She didn't think it was funny. The downstairs is mine to decorate though. So she had to except it. 😄. Have a great night and sorry for the long msg. Had to share that though.
Thanks Dan, that's so kind of you! Yes I did beat you to it lol but I'll never stop buying fragrance... There's always something on the wishlist 🤭 I know exactly what you mean about social media, it gives me anxiety sometimes so I've started picking days/times when I let myself catch up and put it away the rest of the time. 😂 The antelope Mount....omggg hahaha
@@TheScented She hates the mount. She took a picture for her coworker that hunts and is very very similar to me in many ways. She sent it to him and he said that's Awesome!!! 😂😂😂
@@TheScented social media sabbatical is a must at times. I will watch and listen. Find another gem fragrance to purchase for you. Please except. Have a perfect wknd. Take care. 🤗
No they certainly are not, but of the two options it can be found for a lower price point :) I've included a link to my fave source and its currently in stock for under $90 CAD 🥰 fragrancebuy.ca/products/vanleefboisdiris-woman?sca_ref=1625841.RyP8sotl4C
@@TheScented Lucky indeed!! I’m slapping myself on the hands here not to buy it as there’re good deals on it now. But if I can’t smell it - it will ruin the scent for me👀👀
I think it's safe to say your hair game is tops in the community. Dang Yana
Lol 😂 it's very safe to say! Go check out her video on her hair routine 😉
Thank you so much! ❤️ 😘

Hi. Dior Homme Parfum or Dior Bois d'Argent? Which one would you like to see on a man?
Thank you for the honest comparisons and notes.
I’ll be waiting for every video of this series, I own Bois D’Argent and I love it but longevity is an issue for me because is not easy to carry that heavy bottle to reapply.
I always enjoy your videos 🥰🥰🥰
Haha yes, that bottle is not portable 😂
Luckily the Dior rep was kind enough to also throw in a 7.5ml mini for me
Perfect ! I was thinking of gettinf Bois D Iris from VCA 🤍
So excited for more episodes of this series.
Thanks Yana! Had to look up 'budget' in the dictionary just to be sure. 😵 No dollar amounts, so we're good. 🤣 Bois d'iris a great scent!

Bonjour super vidéo même si le bois d'Iris sent super bon, je conseil le bois d'argent c'est un parfum magique
Il a été reformulé.... Ce n'est plus le même. Ils ne se font pas chi*r chez Dior.,
Please do more videos like this!! Thanks Yana

Honestly I don't get much leather from Bois d'argent, it's very subtle... But then again I am a fan of leather so maybe it seems soft to my nose
I have compared them and completely agree with you ❤❤
I know you’re not necessarily a beauty channel but can we get a makeup and hair tutorial? I love it! You’re so pretty!!
Yes of course! ❤️ 😊 Thank you so much!
I second this!
Bring on the bougie vs budget idea!
Where did you buy it from, ive been trying to find it and i cant
Bois d'iris? It's available on fragrancebuy.ca, I've updated the links in the description :)
@@TheScented yes thank you very much.
Awesome maam
I never heard of the VCA scent. It does interest me at that price point I just wished it were more masculine.
Love Bois D'Argent! Lasts all day!
400 CAD? So is that like getting a beer at the pub in USD?
It's been so long, I almost forgot how much a Guinness goes for :/
Thank you!
I would love to see aventus for her , I crave for a budget, never found anything like it
That's a great one! I have the oil version from oil Perfumery and it smells very close. I also find it super long lasting
I'm a budget nut that like bougie Fragrances so if I can be bougie on a budget ,I'm here for it 😂 TFS 🙏🏼
Haha I like to be on a budget too, but end up being all over the place 😂

It's not when you're looking at the bottle of equal volume which is also available. I just happen to have the extra large one

You're the only one who says that Bois D'iris is long-last. Most say it has non-existant projection/longevity.
🤷🏻♀️ It's lasts on me, luckily!
@@TheScented Lucky indeed!! I’m slapping myself on the hands here not to buy it as there’re good deals on it now. But if I can’t smell it - it will ruin the scent for me👀👀
The Van Cleef only comes in 2.5 ml = 74oz. So not 100 ml. Just wanted to state that for those comparing $ vs size.
Not for me 🤮 had to wash the sample off full bottle straight back for a refund !!
the big difference to me is that the iris is none existing in the dior to my nose & on the van cleef while light it is noticable
Yeah you're right, the iris note is more present in the Bois D'iris
Cleef en arpels aint budget 😒😒
