Dolce and Gabbana devotion is the only newest fragrance I like. I love how they always do lemon so well I love all of their fragrances, they're always sickly sweet for most, but perfect for me lol.
Devotion is such a random but very appreciated release from d&g. I am very much over the light blue flankers. I own a few and enjoy them, but this new release is so refreshing from this brand. I’m anticipating more versions of it (intense, edt, etc) and I honestly cannot wait. I think they discontinued le femme and this will be replacing it. If you love that fragrance (marshmallow orange blossom) then to grab a bottle before it becomes difficult to find.
I really love layering Italica with Gris Charnel! The cardamom and fig in GC cool and cut down the sweetness of Italica while still keeping the gourmandness of it in tact! Highly recommend!😊 It smells like sitting in a really historic and beautiful cafe, drinking tea with an almond biscotti on a crisp fall day.
Omggg I spontaneously did this layering combo earlier this week. I put on Gris Charnel and it wasn’t being cozy enough so I threw on Italica on the top and it was exactly what I needed! Love this combo
Also try Italica + Babycat/Eau The Audacity. The saffron and vanilla from it blend so nicely with it. It’s still gourmand, but spicy. It makes it so sensual 👌🏼
Devotion is such a beautiful parfum and inside the box I found a little label where they wrote about the natural oils the used in it and the colour will change in time because of the natural oils. Very good quality and scent for a designer parfum. Unexpected!
@@Watermelon_78you sure you are not nose blind to it? I get 6+ on it and when it's warm I found it really overwhelming about halfway through the day. On clothes I smell it into the next day.
I sprayed Devotion for fun at Sephora and I was BLOWN AWAY. I never trust my first pass so I bought a travel and it's going fast! Oriana smells like a frangranced laundry sheet - the type that you put in the washer, not the dryer. I like LDBS so much better. Akro Bake is so delicious and I see it as a spring and summer - something fresher than Lira and Unknown Pleasures. I enjoy Unknown Pleasures so much more than Lira. There is life before Bianco Latte, and after Bianco Latte for me.
Demi I think you would really like Escapde Groumande. Again it's not ground breaking but the execution is fantastic! Like everyone says it smells just like creme brulee but it's kinda light and airy so it's not cloying at all. You can wear this in Dubai. It's different from Bianco Latte and not as long lasting but it is lovely too. Bianco was a love at first sniff but Escapade grew on me when I did a full wear test. The dry down is completely intoxicating! 😍
A fragrance collector and influencer you need to get your nose on Escapade Gourmand. It is a beautiful vanilla. It is sweet so it will be interesting what you think! I agree I do enjoy devotion too. I have not stopped wearing it. It was recently released in Australia and it is a love for me. Love your video and I enjoy your podcast. 😊
I genuinely love Minuit et Demi so much. It makes me feel so happy and warm when I wear it. Does not matter if it smells like other fragrances. It's got something special which others don't. And thank you for that! ❤
I own both Minuit et Demi and Changing Constance and I love them both and use them both! I completely agree with you, Minuit et Demi is better, way more complex, more luxurious, more long lasting! Funny thing is in the beginning I did not think they smell similar, it was only after a good while that I started to smell the similarities. ❤
I really adore Rouge Smoking but I usually just wear it on my days off or before bed. It's a cozy, nostalgic scent to me. The times I have worn it during the day/in public, I haven't felt like it fits.
Not gonna lie I was interested in Devotion based on the bottle alone. It's so 90's girl I'm obsessed. But your stamp of approval just sealed the deal. I never blind buy but I broke my rule for this one ❤
Just went to Sephora and smelled the new Dolce and Gabanna devotion and I instantly hated it. I know there’s so much hype around this fragrance but to my nose, this was way too orange heavy. I felt like it smelled like a very strong orange creamsicle. I personally don’t want to smell like an orange creamsicle, but I have a feeling I would enjoy this if it were a candle scent😂
I get no orange and I have been getting compliments nonstop when I wear it. I can’t stand Lira because all I get is orange so weird how we all smell things differently.
Same here . I really hated it . I thought it would smell like light blue but a bit more sweet … but this one give a a rotten orange and kids marshmallow sent .
Last week I had the chance to test Changing Constance unknowingly and at first I thought it’s smells like baccarat rouge, but after a few minutes it smells like minuite et demi , minuite et demi is more feminine sweet but have a little bit spicy kick to it , while changing constance is nice too but for me its flat . It’s so good for the feeling that I’m keeping my favorite collections for life and it really stopped me from craving new perfumes …. This perfume addiction hobby of mine slows down for a while but I’m not sure if I could resist adding a new one again after watching perfume reviews here 🥰🍀
LONG COMMENT: I have to tell you I am on a trip in Italy and I looked through about 5 niche perfume stores before I finally found NEFS and had allowed myself to get it if I would find it OMG I am SO happy - in Iceland I can use it so much this winter - along with Oud Orange Intense which I got this summer too, planning to use it everyday of December as it acutally reminds me of these chocolates that are popular around Xmas in Iceland- all from your recommendations --- AND lastly I got Rouge Smoking to use everyday for work now in the fall- best regards ❤
I tried NEFS in Istanbul's international airport..once upon entry and once upon taking off.. it was a complicated pretty snell indeed but projection was like 3/10 even when i over sprayed to see its powet..not worth the price atall
@@palakush7650 I guess for me it is meant to be, I sprayed ONCE in the store in the evening, took a walk around then went back to buy, I was getting whiffs of it the rest of the night and could still smell it on my arm in the morning - I guess it's different for each person but for me it's meant to be 💖
When you said you do not ask Pierre his opinion any more, I had to laugh. You need a shelf dedicated to Pierre approved fragrances to be safe. Thanks for the update, have purchased Lira and Italica, Lira all the way it is addictive lol. Great video as always ❤
For the record, I consider Minuit et Demi better than Changing Constance and Magenta Tanzanite. It is clearly superior. Minuit et Demi might not be viral on TikTok, but it’s sold out everywhere where I live in Mexico… so, I would say it’s the best seller of Fragrance du Bois in Mexico IMO. So way to go Demi, you did a great job 💯💖🤗
Great video Demi 😄!! A lot of of good delicious gems here !! Escapade Gourmande smells like a sweet burnt sugar vanilla. It's nice and doesn't last that much for an Extrait...it's good for layering like Vanilla 28. I think you will enjoy it but it's not breathtaking and it's not a beast like Bianco Latte. Regards from Portugal !!💜💜 PS : I still need to try Minuit et Demi !!
I ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Minuit Et Demi. I literally just recently got into the niche side of fragrances and Bianco Latte was the first sample and Minuit was the second based off of Parfumism's recommendations and Minuit Et Demi was LOVE AT FIRST SNIF!!!!!! I was so sad when my sample was empty. It's my next purchase!!! I also just recently discovered your channel after hearing from CurlyScents that you created Minuit Et Demi, so....here I am and it's so amazing, however I have refrained...for now...sampling any other fragrances by Fragrance Du Bois because he's so expensive, but yours is 100% absolutely worth it. I picked up a hint of warm tobacco and it just pulls me in!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’d love to try Bake by Akron but I already have Sana by Blend Oud which already has that lemon cake vibe. Also I initially didn’t like Angels Share but I caved and got it when you mentioned it last time. I don’t wear it out, I work from home and this is my cozy let’s get this day started kind of scent in the cold days.
I just got a travel size spray of D&G Devotion for now. I tried it on my skin at Ulta and I let it sit for maybe 20ish minutes before I made up my mind and decided to get it. It does make me think of BBW Iced Lemon Pound Cake and I loooove that mist. It’s delicious and I can’t wait to layer them together!
I dont like many fragrances, like, really only 3 in my whole life. Most I either dont like or they become cloying or give me a headache. I bought a decant of Bianco Latte after seeing 1 you tube short. Bought a full bottle just days after trialing it. I've been an unscented everying woman for years. Now i wear Bianco Latte almost daily. IT IS AMAZING! Sweet and vamillic but not cloying or headache inducing. Love it!❤
I own Minuet et Demi, Changing Constance, Magenta Tanzanite and Raised Spirits. I love all of them, but yours is the best imo- all similar scent profiles that are “cousins.”
Oooh, I have tried all of them except for Raised Spirits. Is it masculine smelling to you, or straight up unisex. Can you please tell me which is the most long lasting?
I really love Minute Et Demi , it’s very complex and addictive , luxury smelling . I have to spray it every week and have a travel size at work ❤❤❤please don’t ever discontinue this scent . Bake and Bianco Latte sounds interesting to me , thank you Demi for a great video , I love your pod cast and thank you for sharing with us, it’s very touching .Much love from Boston❤❤❤
My favorite gourmand is pdm althaïr. I don't care for real sweet gourmand but althaïr has that fresh in the opening and then that Bourbon vanilla kicks in oh my goodness it's so good try it out
I am wearing Minuit et Demi today. I’ve had it on for 7+ hours and it is still very noticeable on me. I didn’t even overspray, either. Maybe you are going nose blind to it?
@@Noelle1210 probably not. After 20-30min of spraying, it becomes a skin scent. I can smell it very faintly only when I bring my nose on the sprayed area. I have never smelled Changing Constance but other similar fragrances like Magenta Tanzanite or Starlight performs way better, at least on me.
On me it lasts 24 hours and I can smell it for days in clothes. I only use 2-3 sprays more can be two much for me. I am shocked with these comments because it is one of my longer lasting scents.
I don't say "Shook" either, but I was totally Shooketh when I smelled Devotion. Lol D&G is not usually my bag. I only have one of their fragrances. And I'm not usually into sweet fragrances, but with the citrus... It's gorgeous!
Intense cafè is my signature scent. I live in North England and NEVER smelt it on anyone else. However in Dubai, it's everywhere! I agree fully, depends where you live.
Weirdest thing about both Lira and Unknown Pleasures; the lemon smells screechy and burned to black almost to me, yet Bake I can wear with no problems (and Eau d'Hadrien). Bake reminds me of the offspring from Bianco Latte and Deep N Desire Yacht but swap grapefruit for lemon. x
8:27 😳 I don't know who I should be happier for! 🤭😂 Super glad Pierre knows how to layer. Ps, SDV layered with Angels' Share...🤫 But I will have to check out that Armani Prive now. Taking "inspiration" has certainly become more of a thing. And we all know what L'Oreal like to.....well, I'll be kind. This time. 😊 Always appreciate getting your thoughts Demi. 💗
CC has a dominant soft tobacco note, with the caramel I get a sweet minty scent. MeD is spicier with a dominant caramel. MT is smokier, the deepest of the three. It also has this delicious caramel sweetness & spiciness. It's the longest lasting one, with the better sillage. CC does not last at all, neither on clothes nor skin. No real sillage, unless you overspray a lot. MeD definitely has a presence, medium longevity & projection.
Good video, I have all except the berry one. I love Akro Bake. Minuit et Demi is still on my tray it’s lovely. Devotion is nice but mixed with my lemon scents, wow! I don’t wear it alone. I’ve been layering lately sweets with Smokey too.
That’s funny how scent is so different for people. I bought devotion and returned after a few days. It’s too much orange! Like an orange creamsicle but way too summery and sweet. Not a good fall release IMO.
Demi you look so beautiful as always and love your input always- yes you absolutely need escapade gourmand!!! It’s not ground breaking , but it is that freaking good! It’s not bad lol 😂
Exactly the same thing happened for me with kilian angel's share... my dad gifted this perfume to my mom and she sprayed it for the first and i didn't like it but after a few days she sprayed it again for a party and i like it
Devotion smells different on some people, on my mum it smelt almost sour and chemically but on me it smelt SO good. It had a hint of citrus and then when it settles the lemon dies down and the vanilla comes out, it smells like a lemon meringue not like a lemon cookie bevause it smells a bit powdery to me. And its not too sweet that its headaching inducing. I wish i could get this perfume, I really dont like vanilla perfumes but this just smells amazing.
I love EG but i think its very sweet. Its by far my sweetest vanilla (i am a big vanilla girl) maybe you should try it and do a video on the best vanillas!!! I'm trying to decide between Tihota Indult and Vaniglia...i don't know which one to choose. Maybe i need both 😬
you ate Pierre hmmm wonder what that means 😏😏 HAHAHA kidding aside, lovely video as always demi!!! i always look forward to your opinions on new viral perfumes! gives me insight whether to buy them or not!
Escapade is different from every vanilla I’ve tried. You can almost feel the texture of the brown sugar. Next in line from that imo is Bianco latte. Well they’re almost tied but different
Rouge Smoking was one of my top favorite fall/winter fragrances last year. In fact, Rouge Smoking was the reason I started my 7 deep BDK collection. A seller sent me a sample of DUA’s version and it smells like a 10 year old bottle of RS shelved in a hot, bright room; gone bad. Since then, every time I smell RS, I can’t help but smell DUA’s version 🤢 Gris Charnel, Velvet Tonka & Pas ce Soir is my favorites from the house. Pas Ce Soir Extrait - I never understood how a fragrance could smell like “bug spray” until then. It smells extremely similar to the original until the drydown - that’s when it turned rancid on my skin even though it smells great in clothing.
I just tried Devotion its not sweet enough on me. I also have Bianco Latte and its one of my top favorite perfumes of all time. It lasts so long and yes good projection. I also have Lira but i dont enjoy the profile anymore. I do love Dama Bianca with all of my heart though. Rouge smoking was one of my first niche fragrance but i sold it didnt care for it. i fell in love with my first cherry recently Cherry Punk! I own your fragrance demi and I owned Changing Constance but sold the Changing Constance. youre right your fragrance is more refined but sorry i dont care for it much anymore either.
What a yummy and sumptuous video, as always the imaginative description of the fragrances really does spark thought provoking interest. Always kind and honest about each option. I can only imagine what happens if you’re beautifully attired for a date night with Pierre and you ask him what he thinks And he says “not bad” 😅😂
I've had Montale Vanille Absolu for a few years, every time, it reminds me of freshly baked cookies. I can only wear it on certain instances. Really good smell though.
@dinaraasgerova3392 I've had my bottle for a little over 2 years. Perhaps over time, it's gotten stronger. I don't keep the boxes, but vaguely remember it being a blackish box, but could be misremembering.
Escapade Gourmande smells more luxurious to me than Bianco Latte. I do love them both. EG has a slight smokiness to it on my skin, like a burnt sugar vanilla. BL is musky vanilla ice cream that doesn’t get too lactonic (I barely get “lactonic actually)
Agree with escapade being soooo much better lol on my skin bianco late smells soooo off , I had to sell it as it was a blind buy … the opening was amazing but the dry down was terrible on me 🩷 But escapade … omg!! That’s amazing I am in love
SO glad to hear that i’m not the only one who thinks Intense Cafe is similar to Roses Vanille! It’s also a very common scent in Middle Eastern perfumery 😂
I own escapade gourmonde. Its beautiful. Nighttime date sexy vanilla with burnt brown sugar. It’s bottled crème brûlée. I dont think the dna special but projection is great and it is an easy 8 hours on me with only a few sprays!!!
Where can I purchase Minuit et Demi? I’ve purchased sooo many perfumes based off your reviews and LOVE all of them! You definitely have the exact same nose as I do😂 I’m dying to try Minuit et Demi. Please tell me where I can get it!! Love love love you and your videos so much!! ❤❤
I wanted to love devotion sooo bad I got it blind buy I was soooooo exited to get it and when I got it and smelled it I was so disappointed 😓 it smells just like burned lemony caramel and also smells like thyme and some herbs that I don’t know what they are it’s just weird especially the opening is horrible and when it dries down you start to smell the vanilla but with the herby smell and it doesn’t last at all .☹️
I fell instantly head over heels with Devotion, as well. It’s stunning!
Same here. Had to have it then and there.
Dolce and Gabbana devotion is the only newest fragrance I like. I love how they always do lemon so well I love all of their fragrances, they're always sickly sweet for most, but perfect for me lol.
To it smells like rotten orange and kid’s marshmallow… I thought it would smell a sweeter version of light blue … but I felt sick when I tried it on .
Devotion is such a random but very appreciated release from d&g. I am very much over the light blue flankers. I own a few and enjoy them, but this new release is so refreshing from this brand. I’m anticipating more versions of it (intense, edt, etc) and I honestly cannot wait. I think they discontinued le femme and this will be replacing it. If you love that fragrance (marshmallow orange blossom) then to grab a bottle before it becomes difficult to find.
I really love layering Italica with Gris Charnel! The cardamom and fig in GC cool and cut down the sweetness of Italica while still keeping the gourmandness of it in tact! Highly recommend!😊 It smells like sitting in a really historic and beautiful cafe, drinking tea with an almond biscotti on a crisp fall day.
Omggg I spontaneously did this layering combo earlier this week. I put on Gris Charnel and it wasn’t being cozy enough so I threw on Italica on the top and it was exactly what I needed! Love this combo
Also try Italica + Babycat/Eau The Audacity. The saffron and vanilla from it blend so nicely with it. It’s still gourmand, but spicy. It makes it so sensual 👌🏼
Devotion is such a beautiful parfum and inside the box I found a little label where they wrote about the natural oils the used in it and the colour will change in time because of the natural oils. Very good quality and scent for a designer parfum. Unexpected!
Unfortunately it's vanishing from the skin after 20-40 minutes.

@@someusername4129 It might be the case, not so sure now 😅
It is very long lasting on my skin too ! Depends on your pH I suppose…
I sprayed Devotion for fun at Sephora and I was BLOWN AWAY. I never trust my first pass so I bought a travel and it's going fast! Oriana smells like a frangranced laundry sheet - the type that you put in the washer, not the dryer. I like LDBS so much better. Akro Bake is so delicious and I see it as a spring and summer - something fresher than Lira and Unknown Pleasures. I enjoy Unknown Pleasures so much more than Lira. There is life before Bianco Latte, and after Bianco Latte for me.
I have recently heard about BIANCO LATTE called the yummiest vanilla on this planet , best gurmound as well :)

Intense cafè is my signature scent. I live in North England and NEVER smelt it on anyone else. However in Dubai, it's everywhere! I agree fully, depends where you live.
Right!? The scent DNA is everywhere in Dubai 😂
I love Kayali Yum Pistachio. ❤
This video was so fun 🤩
I can't stop loving angel share, but this is so weird the burnt rubber smell when I first smell it for about 5 seconds then after pure bliss 💓
It would be a cool to see you make a video about what are popular scent profiles in Dubai, since that's where you live!
Weirdest thing about both Lira and Unknown Pleasures; the lemon smells screechy and burned to black almost to me, yet Bake I can wear with no problems (and Eau d'Hadrien). Bake reminds me of the offspring from Bianco Latte and Deep N Desire Yacht but swap grapefruit for lemon. x
YES you need Escapade Gourmande!! Creme Brulee vanilla goodness!!!!
What blush are you wearing 😍 It’s stunning !
8:27 😳 I don't know who I should be happier for! 🤭😂 Super glad Pierre knows how to layer. Ps, SDV layered with Angels' Share...🤫 But I will have to check out that Armani Prive now. Taking "inspiration" has certainly become more of a thing. And we all know what L'Oreal like to.....well, I'll be kind. This time. 😊 Always appreciate getting your thoughts Demi. 💗
I’d love to see your list of Australian brands or those that took inspiration from Australia
CC has a dominant soft tobacco note, with the caramel I get a sweet minty scent. MeD is spicier with a dominant caramel. MT is smokier, the deepest of the three. It also has this delicious caramel sweetness & spiciness. It's the longest lasting one, with the better sillage. CC does not last at all, neither on clothes nor skin. No real sillage, unless you overspray a lot. MeD definitely has a presence, medium longevity & projection.
So they all smell so similar?
Good video, I have all except the berry one. I love Akro Bake. Minuit et Demi is still on my tray it’s lovely. Devotion is nice but mixed with my lemon scents, wow! I don’t wear it alone. I’ve been layering lately sweets with Smokey too.
Which of these are your top 3? As for Jousset, you might one to try the OG “ A la Vanille”
Bake y Devotion 😍😍😍 Las de Jousset las tengo pendientes desde hace mucho tiempo, deseando probarlas 🙏🏻
Pls go through your top shelf faves! 💖
That’s funny how scent is so different for people. I bought devotion and returned after a few days. It’s too much orange! Like an orange creamsicle but way too summery and sweet. Not a good fall release IMO.
Omg I was just searching for the best gourmand fragrances and my favorite parfume expert just posted a video 🤩🙏🏼😎👍🏼telepathy
Omg, what a coincidence!
Love you!!! ❤
Demi you look so beautiful as always and love your input always- yes you absolutely need escapade gourmand!!! It’s not ground breaking , but it is that freaking good! It’s not bad lol 😂
You NEED Escapade Gourmande. It’s creamy and beautiful. A great alternative is Vanilla Brûlée by Malanotte. Sugary crime brûlée
I love hearing what you suggest! ❤
You've got a new glow, Demi.
🥹❤️
Exactly the same thing happened for me with kilian angel's share... my dad gifted this perfume to my mom and she sprayed it for the first and i didn't like it but after a few days she sprayed it again for a party and i like it
Devotion smells different on some people, on my mum it smelt almost sour and chemically but on me it smelt SO good. It had a hint of citrus and then when it settles the lemon dies down and the vanilla comes out, it smells like a lemon meringue not like a lemon cookie bevause it smells a bit powdery to me. And its not too sweet that its headaching inducing. I wish i could get this perfume, I really dont like vanilla perfumes but this just smells amazing.
I was pleasantly surprised when I smelling the new D&G scent. I didn’t even know they were releasing it!
I love EG but i think its very sweet. Its by far my sweetest vanilla (i am a big vanilla girl) maybe you should try it and do a video on the best vanillas!!! I'm trying to decide between Tihota Indult and Vaniglia...i don't know which one to choose. Maybe i need both 😬
great video demi❤i love you so much❤️❤️❤️
you ate Pierre hmmm wonder what that means 😏😏 HAHAHA kidding aside, lovely video as always demi!!! i always look forward to your opinions on new viral perfumes! gives me insight whether to buy them or not!
Escapade is different from every vanilla I’ve tried. You can almost feel the texture of the brown sugar. Next in line from that imo is Bianco latte. Well they’re almost tied but different
can you please do a top 10 or top 15 memo paris fragrances that you enjoy
Rouge Smoking was one of my top favorite fall/winter fragrances last year. In fact, Rouge Smoking was the reason I started my 7 deep BDK collection.
A seller sent me a sample of DUA’s version and it smells like a 10 year old bottle of RS shelved in a hot, bright room; gone bad.
Since then, every time I smell RS, I can’t help but smell DUA’s version 🤢
Gris Charnel, Velvet Tonka & Pas ce Soir is my favorites from the house. Pas Ce Soir Extrait - I never understood how a fragrance could smell like “bug spray” until then. It smells extremely similar to the original until the drydown - that’s when it turned rancid on my skin even though it smells great in clothing.
I just tried Devotion its not sweet enough on me. I also have Bianco Latte and its one of my top favorite perfumes of all time. It lasts so long and yes good projection. I also have Lira but i dont enjoy the profile anymore. I do love Dama Bianca with all of my heart though. Rouge smoking was one of my first niche fragrance but i sold it didnt care for it. i fell in love with my first cherry recently Cherry Punk! I own your fragrance demi and I owned Changing Constance but sold the Changing Constance. youre right your fragrance is more refined but sorry i dont care for it much anymore either.
Im in Canada.could u tell me how you sell your unwanted scents? I have a kerosene unfollowed that i want to give away soo badly
OMG I have eight fragrances from this list because of you Demi 😮😅
What a yummy and sumptuous video, as always the imaginative description of the fragrances really does spark thought provoking interest. Always kind and honest about each option. I can only imagine what happens if you’re beautifully attired for a date night with Pierre and you ask him what he thinks And he says “not bad” 😅😂
Thank you so much Paul!
Hahahahahha if I hear “not bad” one more time 😅
I've had Montale Vanille Absolu for a few years, every time, it reminds me of freshly baked cookies. I can only wear it on certain instances. Really good smell though.
But it is not intense. It feels like you have sprayed it 2 days ago i can hardly smell it. Sweet vanille is much more intense and noticable
@dinaraasgerova3392 Wow, I have no clue how it can be so weak on you.. Even on clothes it weak for you??
@@harveytrevino2257 yeah unfortunately may be it is reformulated. Have you tried new version? Blue packaging
@dinaraasgerova3392 I've had my bottle for a little over 2 years. Perhaps over time, it's gotten stronger. I don't keep the boxes, but vaguely remember it being a blackish box, but could be misremembering.
I loveeee devotion!! It sort of reminds me of tangier vanille by Aerin (spelling idk ?) ❤😊
Pastis is adorable ❤
Escapade Gourmande smells more luxurious to me than Bianco Latte. I do love them both. EG has a slight smokiness to it on my skin, like a burnt sugar vanilla. BL is musky vanilla ice cream that doesn’t get too lactonic (I barely get “lactonic actually)
Agree with escapade being soooo much better lol on my skin bianco late smells soooo off , I had to sell it as it was a blind buy … the opening was amazing but the dry down was terrible on me 🩷
But escapade … omg!! That’s amazing I am in love
Try Caramelo Vanilla from New Notes 🤌🏻
Escapade Gourmande is a NEEEEDD. I have SIX back ups. If that doesn’t tell you that you need it idk what will lmao
Do a video with all the new zara fragrances. The longevity is better the quality is better. Please please please
SO glad to hear that i’m not the only one who thinks Intense Cafe is similar to Roses Vanille! It’s also a very common scent in Middle Eastern perfumery 😂
Right!? It’s too popular here 😅
I own escapade gourmonde. Its beautiful. Nighttime date sexy vanilla with burnt brown sugar. It’s bottled crème brûlée. I dont think the dna special but projection is great and it is an easy 8 hours on me with only a few sprays!!!
I smelt Devotion in Harrods and I loved it too
I agree akro and devotion are very similar for the price difference I would go with devotion 100%
I would put escapade gourmand in the same family as Indult by tihota and fire at will by jovoy paris.. they’re all similar.
Which do you prefer among them?
I ❤U!
You are amazing! And I like your content!
i mix bianco latte with vanilla 28 in a 2ml spray bottle
I can’t stand Italica, but it’s the only fragrance my husband has ever complimented me on! !?!?!
😂😅😢
Where can I purchase Minuit et Demi? I’ve purchased sooo many perfumes based off your reviews and LOVE all of them! You definitely have the exact same nose as I do😂 I’m dying to try Minuit et Demi. Please tell me where I can get it!! Love love love you and your videos so much!! ❤❤
Dulce Diablo is my current gourmand favourite.
I’ve heard so many good things!!! I need a bottle 😅
I wanted to love devotion sooo bad I got it blind buy I was soooooo exited to get it and when I got it and smelled it I was so disappointed 😓 it smells just like burned lemony caramel and also smells like thyme and some herbs that I don’t know what they are it’s just weird especially the opening is horrible and when it dries down you start to smell the vanilla but with the herby smell and it doesn’t last at all .☹️
