I care like 0% about the majority of fragrances as a person who gets migraines from scent, but I just love watching you Lauren! So, yes, I will happily watch and like a 25 minute video about perfume from you 🙂
I understand your pain with migraines. When I find a scent that's tolerable in anything from dish and laundry soap and fabric softener to shampoo and conditioner, I stick with it. And, it also needs to not cause a skin irritation, I have sensitive skin on top of a sensitive olfactory. 🙄
I am cursed with a really, really sensitive nose, sensory issues (thanks, ADHD!), and a tendency towards migraines. And yet, I love things that smell nice, so if I find a candle or fragrance that doesn't trigger my migraines or my sensory issues, I will use it, and I have put up with upset stomach, feeling really overwhelmed, and migraines in order to find fragrances that I love. But I totally understand if that isn't a priority for everyone, what I put myself through is probably crazy.
I come from a household of allergy and migraine sufferers, and so I was not allowed to explore fragrances when I was younger, so now that I am an adult, I am working on finding what I like and also what my sensory issues, overly strong olfactory sense, and migraines will allow me to use. I am loving fragrance content right now!
On the vanilla perfumes question, I just recently tried the Lavanila-Vanilla Grapefruit option through Scentbird and I really like it. the grapefruit gives it an initial almost-masculine spiciness for the first hour or so I wear it, but then fades into a cozy vanilla. I ended up adding it to my wishlist for the holidays.
We are coming into fall and all I want is to smell like a coastal graveyard or a starbucks garbage can in the best way imaginable (salty, mossy, dirty; spiced fruit, coffee, chocolate). 😅 Would love to see a video later on about initial dry down thoughts vs. what notes you get once the fragrance has settled, and perhaps getting others to try them as well since body chemistry and olefactory accuity is different for everyone.
This description of scent made me burst out laughing 😂 I immediately thought about myself walking in the all-day pervasive rain on my college campus while I scurried to Starbucks to get a latte and study. The shop was alone High Street in a major city and the smells were just…wow haha. I imagined all the grounds from the day in a garbage can with discarded mocha latte cups on top of overly salted French fries. The warm fall rain had basically steamed this outside garbage can so that when I walked by I said, “ugh gross…but not bad.” Quite the “scent”-sory experience.
I just made my order today after testing all of these for the past couple weeks. Ended up with the Maison #12, which was kind of a dark horse in there for me -- I generally am not a fan of most of those notes, and on paper, it smelled...not so great. But on my skin? Totally blossomed. The cardamom and ginger balanced out with the cedar really nicely, and it lasted *forever*, which is a plus. (I already had Terre, Pear Inc, Bee, and Vanilla Skies, so those were out. Daisy went 100% oakmoss on me after an hour, which was sad, because I really *really* like the rest of it. I ordered a rollie of the Versace since it felt a little seasonal to me. I *loved* the Rose on my skin -- another one that didn't work on the paper, but did when warmed -- but it faded after maybe an hour.) One note about the Bee -- do try it on your skin. Honey notes tend to mellow a lot when warmed, and you might like it better once it's been on your wrist for fifteen-ish minutes. :)
I love vetiver. My first perfume was Clinique happy and it still makes me happy when I smell it around. I say pick the Marc Jacobs daisy that gives you nostalgia. It's a gift to have scent memory
I have a scent memory and didn’t realize that this was a thing until a few years ago. I now like to buy a bottle of something on long vacations and exclusively use that. When I spray it again, it’s the best feeling ever to vividly remember even how your food tasted. I can remember the outfits I wore, the temperatures, the jokes, the hotel rooms. Amazing.
I’d be interested in the last one or the honey one. I enjoy “dirty” gourmands….. ones that aren’t super sweet. The original Angel is one of my favorite gourmands.
I do NOT like gourmands, I cant stand vanilla, I feel so overwhelmed with anything too sweet or cloying, especially if they then punch me with florals. But EB Bee is the only gourmand I have ever loved. Not just liked, but loved, wanted it on mah BODY. The rum brings it this cozy, very slightly boozy but it's more about adding depth and more complexity to the dominant true honey note. And people say vanilla but I don't get any vanilla, thankfully. It's such a hug of a scent, I reach for it whenever I need a little kindness in my day.
Two base scents that I dislike deeply-rose and vanilla. I was a broke 20 something and was down to my gift perfumes from people who didn't know me very well & just gave me something popular. Broke out the Vanilla Fields as the least heinous of bottles & did the one spray & walk through and went to my 9 hour shift at work. I stopped smelling it on myself around hour 5. Around hour 7 I just kept getting customer compliments from at least 10 people. It was weird because I couldn't smell it at all. I splurged not long after that & VF was back in the drawer😄
Since spring, I lost interest in makeup and got into fragrance (and I actually bought a sampler set this weekend but not from Sephora) so this video absolutely worked for me. I'm a vanilla person, I'm basic as hell and don't really like niche lol.
Two recommendations for discovery sets for you - La Curie and Etat Libre d’Orange. La Curie is very natural, lots of woods, niche, and super unique. There’s a scent inspired by Arizona that I think you’d adore! Etat Libre d’Orange is much weirder, but has some amazing citrus scents. It’s also a good dive into the more avant-garde side of niche. Happy sniffing!!
Yes! Do an Ellis Brooklyn video! I love them! I love them SO much that I blind-bought Bee in the travel size when it came out. Coincidentally, I had been looking for a fragrance that smelled like root beer when it arrived, & Bee definitely doesn't smell like root beer, but it has the ~vibe~ I was looking for with the sweetness of the honey & the warm spiciness. Moscow Mule is my favorite scent from Juliette Has a Gun.
If you’re looking for a delicious root beer scent try Acqua di Parma’s Mandorlo di Sicilia! I sampled it a few weeks ago hoping for almond, but it’s literally a fizzy root beer float:)
Bee is one of my favorite clean fragrances! I feel like most of the clean branded fragrances at sephora actually smell clean/fresh and thats not my speed but bee is such a subtle sweet gourmand on me
Yeah going back in to my stash and upgrade as well what's not working for me even if is so hyped the beauty of fragrance is that just because it smells gorgeous in someone else doesn't mean you will have same Seriously and had several experiences to point that is so hyped and is actually fragrance I really like but when I wear it the reaction is big heck no offense to others and that's when you know is not for you you can tell on people's reactions faces and not say a word people got noses and detect what smells really nice or yukkkk not because they are being rude especifically to you I really like legit reactions from public everyday people.
My favorite vanilla scent so far is Vanille Insensée from Atelier Cologne or Vanilla Woods by The 7 Virtues but neither of those last that well on me so I like to layer the two….but be warned… I like warm gourmand scents 😬 Also, your whole look has me in the fall spirit. The deep lip is so beautiful!
Thank you! I have a sample of the Atelier that I need to try out!! It’s so weird because I have a few very sweet scents that I love but wouldn’t expect myself to so I am trying to stay open about my preferences so I don’t miss a potential new fave!!
@@LaurenMaeBeauty Nice! Those two, in my humble opinion, are on the lighter side of things. I have a migraine condition so I can’t deal with super heavy scents anymore. I also just got a sample of Vanilla Vibes but it was a little too on-the-nose for me. It smells exactly like Sea Salt & Vanilla with very little mystery. Also, on the extremely bougie side, I tried a small sample of Le Labo’s Vanille 44 (their Paris-exclusive that is available on their site until the end of September) and to me, it smelled similar to Atelier Cologne’s… and I prefer the Atelier Cologne scent. Before your video I had Bee on my list but how I’m passing hahah.
I love Bergamot. It’s just so good. I love Versace Bright Crystal, Daisy Dream and Mugler Angel Nova for light and Harvey Prince Hello and the Organza by Givenchy (par not perfume). They are both deep, musky and so good. Hello is more fruity and Organza is a gorgeous vanilla musk. It’s expensive, but a bottle will last you a long time because you need one spritz,
I received an Amazing Grace Bergamot from scent bird. I don't know if you've tried that one, but you might like it. I find it to be very musky. I was hoping to love it and ended up not even liking it a little bit. I was quite disappointed, and disappointed in the Ballet Rose and the Magnolia. There is another rose scented one, but I can't remember the name of it. I will give it a try though because I love rose scents.
@@Mistypans I went from Amazing Grace to Pure Grace about eight or nine years ago, I only wear the Pure Grace perfume, but love the Pure Grace and Amazing Grace body baths and lotions. It was like I woke up one day, and found the Amazing Grace perfume to be too sweet all the sudden. It was so weird. I like spraying it in the air for a scent, but to wear it, it just wasn't the same anymore. Luckily, my daughter had gotten me a Pure Grace gift set for Christmas that very year because she knew how much I loved the amazing Grace. I was so happy with the fragrance because it's kind of the same, but not, if that makes any sense. I've worn nothing different ever since. As a matter of fact, I just used up the last of a body wash. Time for another new bottle. Maybe for Christmas, I'll get it.
Vanilla....probably the YSL Black Opium. It has notes of coffee, amber, bergomat(sp?) I think it's a nice Winter fragrance. I'm starting to lean more towards "spicy" florals. Light, fresh fragrances with a slight spicy underton. I like the fragrances from Jo Malone & Juliette Has A Gun. Edit: One thing I learned about wearing sweet fragrances---they attract bees. So if you're going to be outside around flowers & wear a very sweet body oil or perfume---BE CAREFUL.
in winter and fall i have to fight myself every day to wear something other than ysl black opium lol. one of those scents that is popular for very good reason!!
I’ve just recently gotten into trying different perfumes. I used to be the type to find 1 I liked and where it forever. I don’t know why I’ve all of a sudden decided that I’m all about perfume, but I now have a 2 a month subscription to Scentbird AND Scentbox, so 4 perfumes a month.
I love that you are doing perfume videos! On days that I don't wear makeup I use perfume as my self pampering for the day and am always looking for another to match my mood. I too love not a perfume but also like you I am on a journey to find new loves.
I reckon you should try Malin & Gotez Dark Rum, I think you would really like it because its super unique fresh and sweet but with depth. A very fall/summer scent, its really beautiful 🌺
You explained Pear Inc. perfectly. I’ve had a sample of Not a Perfume and Pear Inc. smells lot like it but the pear hits you in the face. I think I’m going to ask for it for Christmas 🤤
I'm so excited for this video. I'm a perfume lover... I can't even narrow my tastes down. I love listening to people talking about notes and trying to explain what a certain scent reminds them of. I am on my second bottle of CK Be (like 1.5 big bottles so far in 2021)... takes me back to high school. But I also love Rose Anonyme (Atelier) and Jazz Club (Replica). And Egyptian Goddess perfume oil 😆
When I was in high school, a long long time ago, Paulina Poriskova (the supermodel of the 80s) did an interview with Glamour magazine. She said she wore a dab of real vanilla behind her ears. So naturally, I did as well. Shortly after, the BodyShop came out with their vanilla. I wore that forever.
We have like exact opposite scent profiles but I still enjoyed watching you! I bought this set and we had like the exact opposite order 😂 I used the coupon for bee, and my runner ups were the Armani and the Versace turquoise lol. But I agree with you in the daisy it’s very nice
Yasss for another Daisy stan lol. One of my favourites for sure. I am planning to sniff a few of the Juliet's got a gun perfumes, as well as the new Replica ones (they have a Matcha scent now, I mean...). Interested to see if I'll like any enough to pick them up in store 🤔
I think I like a fresh or spicy/woody scent, and I know I love a good coconut scent. And side note, I'm gonna have to try a Dose of Colors lip, because that color looks so nice!
Yes to perfume content! I also love Daisy, it reminds me of being a teen again 😊 I really like Marc Jacobs’ perfumery in general, I didn’t expect to love Perfect as much as I do, but it’s so versatile and pretty
Another vanilla scent you may like is Floral Street Wild Vanilla Orchid. It's definitely a vanilla scent, but it also smells like sweettarts candy and I love it.
I’m so picky with perfume. My favorites are florals, but I hate powdery florals. I really like musky scents, but there’s definitely a certain artificial musk in some perfumes that I cannot stand. So it’s difficult for me to say what I even like haha but I really want to try out more perfumes, especially more unique ones.
You should totally check out some indie perfume companies, especially since you love niche perfumes and indie makeup. They do great "unique" scents. I've tried stuff mainly from Alkemia and Fantome and found some great ones. Eg, if you're looking for mossy, Bune by Fantome smells exactly like walking in a humid deciduous forest in the summer. I have tested this out by walking in the woods near my house and smelling the exact scent of Bune even though I wasn't wearing it. Both these brands have quite affordable sample packs too.
ohhh I LOVE fragrances! This was such a fun new video. I'm still in the beginning of my fragrance too, so we're definitely taking this journey together! I've been buying sample or travel size versions to try different scents, and trying to figure out what I like.
Try Vanilla Vibes from Juliette has a gun too. It's my favourite vanilla scent, a fresh salty vanilla. Like you were sitting ona a beach in the summer wearing a vanilla perfume and smelling fresh sea air. Based on your descriptions i think you would like it.
That's such a cool box!! I didn't know they offered anything like that. What an amazing deal, especially if there's something in there you already know you like. 👌🏻
My favorite Vanilla scent is from Kayali Vanilla 28 (Huda's Sister brand). They offer some travel sizes that are so cute and good quality for you to try and they have some amazing other scents tooo! ❤️
I really want to try the Utopia scent from Kayali! Haha I want to see how it is with the coconut!! I definitely want to smell some others from the line though!!
@@LaurenMaeBeauty Honestly, Utopia is my least favorite but I think it is because I don't understand 😂 I cant seem to smell the coconuts but I don't dislike it either cuz it a different scent. I feel like you would really like Musk & Citrus from Kayali. Honestly, if you are interested try the minis, 1st good bang for your buck, 2nd 10ml & 3rd gorgeous packaging as the big sizes. I wait for a sephora VIB sale.
the new daisy is my favorite! I may need to buy this set just so I can get it. I got compliments from the ulta workers when I sprayed myself with it lol
I am not a perfume person but I like listenning to your reviews. My go to perfume is Nest “Indigo” it’s fig, some sort of tea, bergamot , Kashmir…. Yeah I don’t know off the the top of my head butttt I know you mentioned you like the nest candles.
Lauren I seen today when picking my choice items at boxycharm the glow recipe full size nyancide drops were an option. I thought of you. I personally use them since they came out and wow what a difference. But I got semi dark circles and a "mustache shadow" that I despise. It faded/brightened so much.
I just confirmed it as my choice item for October!! I am so excited to get them again! I really enjoyed the first bottle I used up and love that it is in the Boxycharm!!
@@LaurenMaeBeauty yes me too! I hate buying them full price when I'm on a low buy lol I was super excited. I got a mini also from sephora last wknd when I picked up ND Love palette 1/2 off. It was an option. I use those w the toner and moisturizer daily
I always get my son one of those sets to try the colognes so he can get what he wants. This past Christmas his girlfriend asked for a perfume one for herself! Easy gift for people who love scents!
Ok maybe I am interested in fragrance now?? I love Ellis Bee. To me I get the dark rum and vanilla with honey on the back burner. I wish I could smell the cinnamon in it. I don’t get that at allllllll. I’d LOVE to see you try the other Ellis Brooklyn scents. I’m curious about Sweet, Sci-Fi, and Salt.
If you haven't tried it, I think Atelier Cologne's Vanille Insensee is a good vanilla not-lover's vanilla scent. I love it so much. It kind of reminds me of sugar coated fennel seeds for some rain. I have a one ounce of it, but when that runs out I'm definitely getting a full size.
Kayali vanilla 28 is amazing like vanilla used in cooking and brown sugar scent! Mugler aura is a unique green menthol and vanilla. Montale sweet vanilla is like a vanilla candle. JPG la belle is the OG pear and vanilla with a woody vetiver base and the bottle is so gorgeous
I'm sensitive to artificial scent so I can really only wear clean scents (and even then it's probably not gonna smell good to me) I usually go for the solid perfumes from lush but I do really like vanilla woods from the 7 virtues
I've been getting into scents a bit again lately, so this is a fun video. I used to love Penhaligons Lothair, it smells like getting whacked in the face with a silk pillowcase filled with sawdust but in the best possible way 🤣 My most recent fave is probably Maison Margiela by the fireplace though, can't stop sniffing myself the entire day when I wear it 😅
I got a sample of the Juliette perfume and love it!! I also own and love the sol de Janeiro perfume even though it’s more coconut than vanilla I guess. I love vanilla but haven’t found my holy grail vanilla perfume yet
I just can't handle white florals. Usually so sweet that they seem sickly to me. I find the scent 'category' nearly all my perfumes fall into, is 'Orientals'. Things like woods, spices, amber, Tonka...~ Mrs H
Yes! I've recently gotten into perfumes (meaning I have 2 sample vials) and I was thinking of getting the sephora sampler things for myself for holiday season
My favorite vanilla fragrance of all time sadly had been discontinued, it was L by Lolita Lempicka. That stuff was magical. Now when I'm in the mood for a vanilla focused fragrance I'll have 4 options for different moods: - Dior Poison Girl for a night out. Can't wear it all the time cause it really punches you in the nose with its excessive sweetness. i still love it, though. it's a signature of mine. - Gemma di Paradiso by Roberto Cavalli for day to day wear in the hotter months. It's synthetic, yes, but in the best way possible. Vacation mood summer vanilla. - Signature by Montblanc for everyday wear regardless of the season. Clean soft and cozy musky vanilla reminiscent of Nivea cream just a tad sweeter. Great for layering too. - Eau Duelle Eau de Parfum by Diptyque. Highest quality vanilla blend for the cooler months. A unisex very natural woody slightly spicy vanilla. Lasts forever on clothes. It's my current favorite vanilla fragrance, but I mostly wear it when my clothes are a bit more upscale as well.
I'm not the biggest fan of a lot of "department store" perfumes save for a select few. Some of my current faves are Mac's Crème d'Nude, Maison Margiela Replica Beach Walk and Atelier Cologne Lemon Island. My favorite vanilla is the Lavanila The Healthy Fragrance in Pure Vanilla. They have other vanilla combos. Some of the most interesting vanillas I've found are from Sylvaine Delacourte. They have collections of 5 samples each.
I don't really like vanilla scents, lol. Elizabeth & James had Nirvana Bourbon that started to change my mind, but it was discontinued. I like what Comptoire Sud Pacifique does with their fruity vanilla lines. I really love a blackberry scent, so I do like their blackberry one, but my surprise favorite of theirs is the apricot.
I just got a sample of Vilhelm Parfumerie's Mango Skin, and I really like it. It's a very elegant scent with a hint of mango - not at all what I would have expected seeing the word mango on a product. Highly recommend!
My all time favorite perfume is a toss up between Tomato (which smells like tomato leaves and vines, a very green scent) and Greenhouse, because apparently I want to smell like hose water and potting soil. Both are by Demeter Fragrance, both definitely holy grails for me!
my favorite perfume in existence was discontinued ): i’ve never been able to find a similar scent, it’s called côtes des palmes by a random brand at urban outfitters, the notes are described as “Fresh Cut Melon, Breezy Palm and Vanilla Flower”, smells like beach air/happiness/pure nostalgia to me
Ani by Nishane is probably my favorite vanilla but tobacco & tonka bean by banana republic is good too. Actually, most of those banana republic scents in the squarish glass bottles are surprisingly good, so if y’all can find them at discount retailers I recommend them. Oh and the iconic tobacco vanille by tom ford is great too
I think we have similar scent preferences and I love the Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Passion edp. I laughed at first when I saw that it's 3 different vanilla notes but it's actually a pretty fresh smell. I also recently got samples from the indie brand Fantôme Perfume and have realized I like tomato leaf as a note. They've got a lot of really unique combinations though if you're looking for niche scents.
I have advice for the people who lose those coupon things… (like I always did) I choose the perfume I want the same day so I won’t lose it!! This is how I get my higher end scents at a better price! I’ve got Sol de Janero, clean reserve, etc.. I’m not sure if Lauren is doing the roller ball ones in this video too.. But they do the samplers in the $30ish range.. you trade your coupon for those roller ball/smaller spritz
If you like stuff that’s out of the ordinary, try Les Labos Giaiac 10. Its the Tokyo city scent that only comes out in September at Nordstrom. It’s outstanding. And kinda woody-sandlewood light. Very gorgeous scent.
Oh, sad, I was considering getting a sampler box thinking that they had the cute little mini bottles. Oh well, now I can just relax and listen :-) ...Ugh, then again, I might get this for a discount on the BEE perfume
My autumn/winter favourite vanilla perfume is Nirvana Bourbon from Elizabeth & James. It's so warm and comforting but also not sweet or typically gourmand.
i literally don’t know anything about fragrances so watching this i was just like 😄 but the pear one sounds really nice to me! but i also don’t particularly like original daisy from the times i’ve smelled it
I love gourmand scents but not coying sweet like Pink Sugar & Spicy, Woodsy scents. Most of my faves are fall/winter type fragrances. Hate florals, if I see any floral note in a fragrance it scares me away

I recommend Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab scents! They’re indi, but I love them so much and will definitely find those kind of scents!
Maybe you could combine Thunderstorm and Earthworm from Demeter to get that coastal graveyard vibe? Good luck!

Omggg I’m so excited for this video!! As a fellow amateur scent lover, it’s so fun hearing other passionate people describe them!
Watching this in Jan 2022 and seeing the birth of Lauren's vanilla obsession is so interesting!
YESSS!! I kept asking for perfume content!!
Love that lipstick on you! :) What a fun idea for a video
Thank you!! 😊
Obsessed with the fall makeup/look vibe here ughhh 😍
YAAASSSS!!!!💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 I love fragrance!! Also love your beautiful fall lewk today!👌🏼👌🏼😻🖤✨

I'm so glad we're getting into perfumes at the same time, it'll be fun exploring this together
Yeah going back in to my stash and upgrade as well what's not working for me even if is so hyped the beauty of fragrance is that just because it smells gorgeous in someone else doesn't mean you will have same Seriously and had several experiences to point that is so hyped and is actually fragrance I really like but when I wear it the reaction is big heck no offense to others and that's when you know is not for you you can tell on people's reactions faces and not say a word people got noses and detect what smells really nice or yukkkk not because they are being rude especifically to you I really like legit reactions from public everyday people.
I looooove fragrances videos so much! In 2019, 2 bottles (1 day/work and 1 night)... In 2021, over 70 😬
Im totally here for fragrance videos. I however do like the niche\higher end perfumes..
Same! I am learning that I tend to love niche brands and perfumes… haha my wallet cries that I do though! 😂
My first perfume was Gwen stefani’s harajuku lovers in music- does anyone remember those or were they just a fever dream 😂😂😂
Same here! I got it for Christmas when I was like 12 and I still have it, it’s so cute!
@@miaomiaou_ I remember loving the scent too! I wish I could get my hands on it just to see how it holds up
I had that one, too. The bottle was cute, but I hated the fragrance. 🤷🏻♀️
I saw a few of those last week at a TJ Maxx and was violently transported back to my teenage years lol
@@evilcuppycake5193 omg WHAT? thought these were gone for good! 😂
My favorite vanilla scent so far is Vanille Insensée from Atelier Cologne or Vanilla Woods by The 7 Virtues but neither of those last that well on me so I like to layer the two….but be warned… I like warm gourmand scents 😬
Also, your whole look has me in the fall spirit. The deep lip is so beautiful!
Thank you! I have a sample of the Atelier that I need to try out!! It’s so weird because I have a few very sweet scents that I love but wouldn’t expect myself to so I am trying to stay open about my preferences so I don’t miss a potential new fave!!
Atelier is SO GOOD. I like the vanilla but Rose Anonyme is my favorite (it's so... weird)
@@LaurenMaeBeauty Nice! Those two, in my humble opinion, are on the lighter side of things. I have a migraine condition so I can’t deal with super heavy scents anymore. I also just got a sample of Vanilla Vibes but it was a little too on-the-nose for me. It smells exactly like Sea Salt & Vanilla with very little mystery. Also, on the extremely bougie side, I tried a small sample of Le Labo’s Vanille 44 (their Paris-exclusive that is available on their site until the end of September) and to me, it smelled similar to Atelier Cologne’s… and I prefer the Atelier Cologne scent. Before your video I had Bee on my list but how I’m passing hahah.
I love Bergamot. It’s just so good. I love Versace Bright Crystal, Daisy Dream and Mugler Angel Nova for light and Harvey Prince Hello and the Organza by Givenchy (par not perfume). They are both deep, musky and so good. Hello is more fruity and Organza is a gorgeous vanilla musk. It’s expensive, but a bottle will last you a long time because you need one spritz,
I received an Amazing Grace Bergamot from scent bird. I don't know if you've tried that one, but you might like it. I find it to be very musky. I was hoping to love it and ended up not even liking it a little bit. I was quite disappointed, and disappointed in the Ballet Rose and the Magnolia. There is another rose scented one, but I can't remember the name of it. I will give it a try though because I love rose scents.
@@tootsie3612 I actually hated the Amazing Grace Bergamot too. I love the original, but I know some people consider it a more mature scent.
@@Mistypans
I went from Amazing Grace to Pure Grace about eight or nine years ago, I only wear the Pure Grace perfume, but love the Pure Grace and Amazing Grace body baths and lotions. It was like I woke up one day, and found the Amazing Grace perfume to be too sweet all the sudden. It was so weird. I like spraying it in the air for a scent, but to wear it, it just wasn't the same anymore. Luckily, my daughter had gotten me a Pure Grace gift set for Christmas that very year because she knew how much I loved the amazing Grace. I was so happy with the fragrance because it's kind of the same, but not, if that makes any sense. I've worn nothing different ever since. As a matter of fact, I just used up the last of a body wash. Time for another new bottle. Maybe for Christmas, I'll get it.
Love this idea- I have been way more into perfumes lately.
Vanilla....probably the YSL Black Opium. It has notes of coffee, amber, bergomat(sp?) I think it's a nice Winter fragrance. I'm starting to lean more towards "spicy" florals. Light, fresh fragrances with a slight spicy underton. I like the fragrances from Jo Malone & Juliette Has A Gun.
Edit: One thing I learned about wearing sweet fragrances---they attract bees. So if you're going to be outside around flowers & wear a very sweet body oil or perfume---BE CAREFUL.
in winter and fall i have to fight myself every day to wear something other than ysl black opium lol. one of those scents that is popular for very good reason!!
I’ve just recently gotten into trying different perfumes. I used to be the type to find 1 I liked and where it forever. I don’t know why I’ve all of a sudden decided that I’m all about perfume, but I now have a 2 a month subscription to Scentbird AND Scentbox, so 4 perfumes a month.
I love that you are doing perfume videos! On days that I don't wear makeup I use perfume as my self pampering for the day and am always looking for another to match my mood. I too love not a perfume but also like you I am on a journey to find new loves.
I reckon you should try Malin & Gotez Dark Rum, I think you would really like it because its super unique fresh and sweet but with depth. A very fall/summer scent, its really beautiful 🌺
Daisy is my long time fave. I got the Pear one recently and love it!
You explained Pear Inc. perfectly. I’ve had a sample of Not a Perfume and Pear Inc. smells lot like it but the pear hits you in the face. I think I’m going to ask for it for Christmas 🤤
I'm so excited for this video. I'm a perfume lover... I can't even narrow my tastes down. I love listening to people talking about notes and trying to explain what a certain scent reminds them of. I am on my second bottle of CK Be (like 1.5 big bottles so far in 2021)... takes me back to high school. But I also love Rose Anonyme (Atelier) and Jazz Club (Replica). And Egyptian Goddess perfume oil 😆
When I was in high school, a long long time ago, Paulina Poriskova (the supermodel of the 80s) did an interview with Glamour magazine. She said she wore a dab of real vanilla behind her ears. So naturally, I did as well. Shortly after, the BodyShop came out with their vanilla. I wore that forever.
Love that outfit with that makeup look!
“Whiffs off the window while you’re driving” yesss love the ITYSL reference 😂🙌🏻
The algorithm brought me to you and I am so glad it did!!! Also I've been wearing Princess since the 9th grade and I refuse to change it lol
I can’t believe you made an I Think You Should Leave reference 😭😭😭😭😭 I’m GIDDY
We have like exact opposite scent profiles but I still enjoyed watching you! I bought this set and we had like the exact opposite order 😂 I used the coupon for bee, and my runner ups were the Armani and the Versace turquoise lol. But I agree with you in the daisy it’s very nice
Yasss for another Daisy stan lol. One of my favourites for sure. I am planning to sniff a few of the Juliet's got a gun perfumes, as well as the new Replica ones (they have a Matcha scent now, I mean...). Interested to see if I'll like any enough to pick them up in store 🤔
I was just looking at this scent on Sephora! How did you know I needed this video?!
I would love for you to do this again with some other samplers. I am so tempted to buy one so I value your input.
Stunning eye and lip on you Lauren. Love the fragrance video!! Very relatable.
Yessss! I am here for some fragrance content.
I’m HERE for this content!!!!! 🙌❤️
I think I like a fresh or spicy/woody scent, and I know I love a good coconut scent. And side note, I'm gonna have to try a Dose of Colors lip, because that color looks so nice!
Yes to perfume content! I also love Daisy, it reminds me of being a teen again 😊 I really like Marc Jacobs’ perfumery in general, I didn’t expect to love Perfect as much as I do, but it’s so versatile and pretty
Another vanilla scent you may like is Floral Street Wild Vanilla Orchid. It's definitely a vanilla scent, but it also smells like sweettarts candy and I love it.
I’m so picky with perfume. My favorites are florals, but I hate powdery florals. I really like musky scents, but there’s definitely a certain artificial musk in some perfumes that I cannot stand. So it’s difficult for me to say what I even like haha but I really want to try out more perfumes, especially more unique ones.
You should totally check out some indie perfume companies, especially since you love niche perfumes and indie makeup. They do great "unique" scents. I've tried stuff mainly from Alkemia and Fantome and found some great ones. Eg, if you're looking for mossy, Bune by Fantome smells exactly like walking in a humid deciduous forest in the summer. I have tested this out by walking in the woods near my house and smelling the exact scent of Bune even though I wasn't wearing it. Both these brands have quite affordable sample packs too.
ohhh I LOVE fragrances! This was such a fun new video. I'm still in the beginning of my fragrance too, so we're definitely taking this journey together! I've been buying sample or travel size versions to try different scents, and trying to figure out what I like.
Try Vanilla Vibes from Juliette has a gun too. It's my favourite vanilla scent, a fresh salty vanilla. Like you were sitting ona a beach in the summer wearing a vanilla perfume and smelling fresh sea air. Based on your descriptions i think you would like it.
That's such a cool box!! I didn't know they offered anything like that. What an amazing deal, especially if there's something in there you already know you like. 👌🏻
Yes to the Ellis Brooklyn set! I have been so in to fragrances lately.
My favorite Vanilla scent is from Kayali Vanilla 28 (Huda's Sister brand). They offer some travel sizes that are so cute and good quality for you to try and they have some amazing other scents tooo! ❤️
I really want to try the Utopia scent from Kayali! Haha I want to see how it is with the coconut!! I definitely want to smell some others from the line though!!
@@LaurenMaeBeauty Honestly, Utopia is my least favorite but I think it is because I don't understand 😂 I cant seem to smell the coconuts but I don't dislike it either cuz it a different scent. I feel like you would really like Musk & Citrus from Kayali. Honestly, if you are interested try the minis, 1st good bang for your buck, 2nd 10ml & 3rd gorgeous packaging as the big sizes. I wait for a sephora VIB sale.
the new daisy is my favorite! I may need to buy this set just so I can get it. I got compliments from the ulta workers when I sprayed myself with it lol
I am not a perfume person but I like listenning to your reviews. My go to perfume is Nest “Indigo” it’s fig, some sort of tea, bergamot , Kashmir…. Yeah I don’t know off the the top of my head butttt I know you mentioned you like the nest candles.
Loved hearing your thoughts on these perfumes. I’d love to see a video about the Ellis Brooklyn library.
I literally was searching to try to find a video like this last night! I've been debating on buying this!
i'm enjoying this too much for someone who just wants a pacifica perfume from target but still can't afford that 😂
Oh man I feel that! I haven't bought perfume in years. But Pacifica has some great stuff! Which is your favorite?
@@quailypoes flower moon! i've been trying to find the body spray for months but it's always out of stock
Lauren I seen today when picking my choice items at boxycharm the glow recipe full size nyancide drops were an option. I thought of you. I personally use them since they came out and wow what a difference. But I got semi dark circles and a "mustache shadow" that I despise. It faded/brightened so much.
I just confirmed it as my choice item for October!! I am so excited to get them again! I really enjoyed the first bottle I used up and love that it is in the Boxycharm!!
@@LaurenMaeBeauty yes me too! I hate buying them full price when I'm on a low buy lol I was super excited. I got a mini also from sephora last wknd when I picked up ND Love palette 1/2 off. It was an option. I use those w the toner and moisturizer daily
I thought of Lauren too! That was my choice today!
I always get my son one of those sets to try the colognes so he can get what he wants. This past Christmas his girlfriend asked for a perfume one for herself! Easy gift for people who love scents!
As a perfume lover, I would love these sets as a gift!
Ok maybe I am interested in fragrance now?? I love Ellis Bee. To me I get the dark rum and vanilla with honey on the back burner. I wish I could smell the cinnamon in it. I don’t get that at allllllll.
I’d LOVE to see you try the other Ellis Brooklyn scents. I’m curious about Sweet, Sci-Fi, and Salt.
My go to scent in high school was Revlon Fire and Ice. Lol. Yes. I am old but man, that scent brings back some memories.
My favorites are all indies! If you like vanilla, you should try Death and Floral’s “The Sweater they buried you with is hanging up in my closet”
I bought three of these 😆. I had a rouge reward so that helped! I knew there were a few of them I already wanted so a discount is always good!
If you haven't tried it, I think Atelier Cologne's Vanille Insensee is a good vanilla not-lover's vanilla scent. I love it so much. It kind of reminds me of sugar coated fennel seeds for some rain. I have a one ounce of it, but when that runs out I'm definitely getting a full size.
Kayali vanilla 28 is amazing like vanilla used in cooking and brown sugar scent! Mugler aura is a unique green menthol and vanilla. Montale sweet vanilla is like a vanilla candle. JPG la belle is the OG pear and vanilla with a woody vetiver base and the bottle is so gorgeous
I'm sensitive to artificial scent so I can really only wear clean scents (and even then it's probably not gonna smell good to me) I usually go for the solid perfumes from lush but I do really like vanilla woods from the 7 virtues
I've been getting into scents a bit again lately, so this is a fun video. I used to love Penhaligons Lothair, it smells like getting whacked in the face with a silk pillowcase filled with sawdust but in the best possible way 🤣 My most recent fave is probably Maison Margiela by the fireplace though, can't stop sniffing myself the entire day when I wear it 😅
Juliette Has A Gun in “Mmmm” is my absolute hands down favorite fragrance of all time. I used to get it over and over again from Scentbird.
I got a sample of the Juliette perfume and love it!! I also own and love the sol de Janeiro perfume even though it’s more coconut than vanilla I guess. I love vanilla but haven’t found my holy grail vanilla perfume yet
I just can't handle white florals. Usually so sweet that they seem sickly to me. I find the scent 'category' nearly all my perfumes fall into, is 'Orientals'. Things like woods, spices, amber, Tonka...~ Mrs H
Yes! I've recently gotten into perfumes (meaning I have 2 sample vials) and I was thinking of getting the sephora sampler things for myself for holiday season
Oh man, I love 'Not a Perfume' and I love pear scents AND garnier lmao... I don't need more perfumes but this one might go on the xmas list.
My favorite vanilla fragrance of all time sadly had been discontinued, it was L by Lolita Lempicka. That stuff was magical.
Now when I'm in the mood for a vanilla focused fragrance I'll have 4 options for different moods:
- Dior Poison Girl for a night out. Can't wear it all the time cause it really punches you in the nose with its excessive sweetness. i still love it, though. it's a signature of mine.
- Gemma di Paradiso by Roberto Cavalli for day to day wear in the hotter months. It's synthetic, yes, but in the best way possible. Vacation mood summer vanilla.
- Signature by Montblanc for everyday wear regardless of the season. Clean soft and cozy musky vanilla reminiscent of Nivea cream just a tad sweeter. Great for layering too.
- Eau Duelle Eau de Parfum by Diptyque. Highest quality vanilla blend for the cooler months. A unisex very natural woody slightly spicy vanilla. Lasts forever on clothes. It's my current favorite vanilla fragrance, but I mostly wear it when my clothes are a bit more upscale as well.
Thank you so much for showing my channel support! I’m so thankful you like my content enough to mention me! New subscriber here, love your content! 💛
I'm not the biggest fan of a lot of "department store" perfumes save for a select few. Some of my current faves are Mac's Crème d'Nude, Maison Margiela Replica Beach Walk and Atelier Cologne Lemon Island. My favorite vanilla is the Lavanila The Healthy Fragrance in Pure Vanilla. They have other vanilla combos. Some of the most interesting vanillas I've found are from Sylvaine Delacourte. They have collections of 5 samples each.
I don't really like vanilla scents, lol. Elizabeth & James had Nirvana Bourbon that started to change my mind, but it was discontinued.
I like what Comptoire Sud Pacifique does with their fruity vanilla lines. I really love a blackberry scent, so I do like their blackberry one, but my surprise favorite of theirs is the apricot.
Yes, CSP Vanille Abricot is yummy
Yesss more fragrance video please 🔥🙏
This was fun!
Thanks, Lauren.
💙💙💙
I just got a sample of Vilhelm Parfumerie's Mango Skin, and I really like it. It's a very elegant scent with a hint of mango - not at all what I would have expected seeing the word mango on a product. Highly recommend!
My all time favorite perfume is a toss up between Tomato (which smells like tomato leaves and vines, a very green scent) and Greenhouse, because apparently I want to smell like hose water and potting soil. Both are by Demeter Fragrance, both definitely holy grails for me!
*You should try YSL Libré and Black Opium. Beautiful scents!*
my favorite perfume in existence was discontinued ): i’ve never been able to find a similar scent, it’s called côtes des palmes by a random brand at urban outfitters, the notes are described as “Fresh Cut Melon, Breezy Palm and Vanilla Flower”, smells like beach air/happiness/pure nostalgia to me
Ani by Nishane is probably my favorite vanilla but tobacco & tonka bean by banana republic is good too. Actually, most of those banana republic scents in the squarish glass bottles are surprisingly good, so if y’all can find them at discount retailers I recommend them. Oh and the iconic tobacco vanille by tom ford is great too
Am I allergic to perfume? Yes
Will I still watch this entire video? Also yes
Love you Lauren❤
I was on a long quest for the perfect vanilla fragrance and my two favorites are Vanille de Tahiti by Perris Monte Carlo and Tihota by Indult.
I think we have similar scent preferences and I love the Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Passion edp. I laughed at first when I saw that it's 3 different vanilla notes but it's actually a pretty fresh smell.
I also recently got samples from the indie brand Fantôme Perfume and have realized I like tomato leaf as a note. They've got a lot of really unique combinations though if you're looking for niche scents.
The Marc Jacob’s Daisy line has some of my favorite perfumes I love all of them! (Except the purple one lol) ❤️
Not much of a perfume wearer, but I'm still here for moral support!!!
I have advice for the people who lose those coupon things… (like I always did) I choose the perfume I want the same day so I won’t lose it!! This is how I get my higher end scents at a better price! I’ve got Sol de Janero, clean reserve, etc.. I’m not sure if Lauren is doing the roller ball ones in this video too.. But they do the samplers in the $30ish range.. you trade your coupon for those roller ball/smaller spritz
Definitely go for the Daisy!
If you like stuff that’s out of the ordinary, try Les Labos Giaiac 10. Its the Tokyo city scent that only comes out in September at Nordstrom. It’s outstanding. And kinda woody-sandlewood light. Very gorgeous scent.
Also with the Madison Louis Marie brand the No. 4 is delightful. Also Sandalwood light. So pretty. So. Pretty
Oh, sad, I was considering getting a sampler box thinking that they had the cute little mini bottles. Oh well, now I can just relax and listen :-) ...Ugh, then again, I might get this for a discount on the BEE perfume
My autumn/winter favourite vanilla perfume is Nirvana Bourbon from Elizabeth & James. It's so warm and comforting but also not sweet or typically gourmand.
Super fun idea Lauren-thxs
i literally don’t know anything about fragrances so watching this i was just like 😄 but the pear one sounds really nice to me! but i also don’t particularly like original daisy from the times i’ve smelled it
I love gourmand scents but not coying sweet like Pink Sugar & Spicy, Woodsy scents. Most of my faves are fall/winter type fragrances. Hate florals, if I see any floral note in a fragrance it scares me away
