I've been dipping a toe into fragrance (thanks to your channel!) but I also don't prioritize my disposable income on them because perfumes can be pricey. I would love to see you do more affordable fragrance videos in the future. Sometimes a perfume you describe sounds amazing, and I Google it and nearly pass out when I see the price tag lol.
Agreed! I really only do indie oil based perfumes, myself, since they’re MUCH less expensive, and I’d love to see Lauren talk about that kind of thing!
personally I just buy from brands that make dupes of these perfumes that Lauren recomends I just google the name of the perfume plus dupe. Most of the time they smell identical to the authentic. Usually i choose the brands that they have physical stores so i can actually test them and be sure they are safe.
You should try Chocolate Citronique by Sphinx Fragrance! It’s such a yummy chocolate covered biscuit with orange and almond. It’s less grainy than Chocolate Greedy and is more sophisticated. I just got mine today and I can’t stop smelling myself 😍🥰
Funny story about By the Fireplace: I love it! And I had just bought it. And I wore it out to a dinner with two girlfriends. When I got there, one of them hugged me, and said I smelled super good. After we were sitting at our table for a while, the other one said, “Is it me, or does this restaurant smell like sawdust?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cocoa Woods is awesome. I bought a rollerball and two full sizes when I heard it was being discontinued. I’m about to “break into” my second full size, and I will be bummed when it’s used up. I work on a military base in their medical group, and get tons of (almost creepy) compliments on it.
I love how it's June 16 & 85 degrees out & I'm watching the Holiday Gourmand Fragrance video on repeat😂 (this is awesome: I could watch it every day of the year. Love winter fragranc
I think it's the "salted butter accord" in Raised Spirits that you're describing (it's not listed on Fragrantica) 😊 I love it so much and how it affects the other notes.
I pull out my Chabaud fragrances when I want Chocolate Milk or Sugar Cookies or Milk and Cookies. I don’t want straight up food like fragrances but they are so close and don’t smell artificial. They are elegant but so very delicious.
I picked up Ginger Biscuit and I love it. I also recently bought Snif Crumb Couture and it’s supposed to smell like a buttery croissant and it does smell delicious.
I just love and admire your confidence when you speak SO MUCH. your ~stage~ presence is so good I love watching you and getting amazing recommendations!!!
These are my “smell like a winter snack” favorites in my collection: Zara Nocturnal Life (smells a lot like Angels’ Share), Clinique Cocoa & Cashmere and Cookies & Kisses, Sabrina Carpenter Sweet Tooth, Nest Cocoa Woods and Angel Muse.
I received a travel size sample of This is Her a few months ago. I was sooo excited to try it because the note breakdown looked perfect to me: lactonic, nutty, vanilla…hell yeah. Unfortunately, it did not smell how I imagined, not even close, and I put it aside to revisit or pass along. Well, after hearing you rave about it again, I thought I’d give it another try and I realize the issue now. Something about my skin really pulls the jasmine forward. It’s kind of like milk soaked jasmine on me, whereas on your skin is sounds like the sandalwood and cream come through. I’m not getting the vanilla, pink pepper, sandalwood, or chestnut at all. And that’s just the way it goes sometimes with perfume; skin plays a huge role, could be my nose too. 🤷♀️ Wish it smelled on me the way it smells to you. I, also, wish they had used orange blossom, iris, or tuberose, as those agree with me a lot more than jasmine. Glad I didn’t blind buy a bottle or anything based on how appealing it sounded to me.
I got Zara's dupe, Fields at nightfall, and it's so powdery to me! I was also super hopeful with the notes, and now I don't know what to think. Maybe my nose works different
@@rosiel2774 Don’t fret! I bet it’ll smell great on you. I think my experience is the minority. It is an extremely popular fragrance, which means it probably agrees with most people’s skin, and most reviewer do find it consistent with the notes listed. Actually, the jasmine did mellow as I wore it, and I decided I like it enough to put the travel size aside for springtime when I tend to where more florals and flourmands. It may not be full bottle worthy for me, but hopefully it is for you. And if not, it’s a lux perfume…you could easily re-sell or re-gift.
Thanks so much for the video! My collection is mostly samples(a lot) and travel sizes but it's still so fun to hear you describe fragrances! It really helps give me a vocabulary when i smell fragrances to translate what I'm smelling also. I've definitely added some tree hut and candles and bath and body works to my collection as well now. And i spend a ton of time at stores smelling things 😂
I am also obsessed with Yog Nog and I have a bunch of Kyse fragrances!! I was so disappointed that Lush didn’t come out with Yog Nog this year as a fragrance…I was lucky to have found it on Mercari last year thanks to you for a good price, but I wanted another bottle. If you love the Jo Malone gingerbread fragrance, you really need to check out Genre Parfum’s version…so much better, longer lasting and I don’t feel like it’s to much either…it just lasts longer and is the perfect gingerbread cookie/biscuit scent!! I have Navitus Raised Spirits also and I do really enjoy it, but I don’t get gingerbread from it l…I get the more of the nutty, tobacco notes from it…but the Genre version is spot on/on point!!
lauren! i know you love ginger biscuit and i wanted to ask if you could try out the miimmiic No. 44 which is their version of ginger biscuit!! If you never heard of miimmiic fragrance they make dupes for alot of trendy perfumes and i find their quality is actually great, i feel like everyone of their fragrance weather an exact dupe or not is standalone in its own way. i kinda just wanted to see if the dupe was worth it or i should splurge
Have you tried Bath and Body Works Ginger Bread Village mist? It’s such a lovely scent and lasts a good while (I’ve heard some reviewers say the longevity is even better than Ginger Biscuit).
I just recently saw the Chocolate Greedy on a random perfume girlie's channel! I wanted to try thisamd one that i heard smells like chocolate chip cookies, I can't remember off the top of my head lol.
Would love to know your thoughts on all of Dior's fragrances. I'm a huge fan of J'adore for me and Sauvage for my husband. Merry Christmas & many blessings!💖💖💖
I love your video’s! I haven’t smelled ginger biscuit but it sounds amazing. I received red hibiscus intense by Jo Malone as a gift and it is so amazing. It reminds me of Hugo boss deep red but with better longevity and quality. I do not understand why nobody talks about it! Give it a sniff and Lmk😁
Hi love!!! Can you please suggest fragrances that are cult like as much as BR540? I can’t seem to get away from it!!!!! I need more than just one scent I absolutely love. HELP!!! XOXO
Honestly, I get Orange chocolate shortbread biscuits from Chocolate Greedy. It's not a chocolate to my nose. It's an orange flavoured baked good containing chocolate, my nose cannot avoid that orange. Unfortunately, I would have loved a straight-up coco puffs scent.
Have you gotten your nose on Sandalsul by Hermetica? Notes of hazelnut, vanilla, cocoa, and sandalwood! It just arrived in the mail and I’m moaning on the floor. 😍

Yeah I can't afford $300 perfumes 😢.

oakcha and dossier have good dupes, if you like oils, oilperfumery (i think its called) does dupes as well for expensive frags
I do a lot of small decants with super expensive perfumes.
Lush should totally come out with a special version of yog nog with an additional boozy note. Call it yog nogged
Lauren have you smelled the Fenty cinnamon body cream? It is TO DIE FOR. Hopefully there is a perfume out there that is just like it

I'm pretty sure the pronunciation is Kyse with the "y" pronounced as in "eye" because the company was named after the owner's son, whose name is Kyle.
You describe scents so well, definitely my favorite fragrance channel!

I miss Nest Cocoa Woods, didn't like it at first but it grew on me, and now I crave it but its unavailable i think

GIRL! I just got Chabaud Lait Concentre. Toasty yummy...it's the gormound I've been searching for!!!!!
I got it too and it’s divine
I loved all the Chabaud gourmands but I felt like they didn't last very long. How was longevity for you?
I love how it's June 16 & 85 degrees out & I'm watching the Holiday Gourmand Fragrance video on repeat😂 (this is awesome: I could watch it every day of the year. Love winter fragranc

I have Kyse Serenade Aux Fraises and Delizia Di Marshmallow love them both and get compliments
The TreeHut holiday scents for the body scrubs are amaaazing. I bought back-ups of pumpkin spice and candy cane lol
Happy holidays! Love your description of your husband’s reaction when you wear Yog Nog😂
I picked up Ginger Biscuit and I love it. I also recently bought Snif Crumb Couture and it’s supposed to smell like a buttery croissant and it does smell delicious.
I loooove crumb couture and I want to smell ginger biscuit so bad!!
I’d love if you could do “An Office Setting” scents recommendation video and “Girls Night Out/ She’s That Girl” recommendation scents.
Angel's Share is my favourite perfume! I absolutely get apple pie
Escapade Gourmand is my new love, it’s so sweet and yummy 🤤
I just love and admire your confidence when you speak SO MUCH. your ~stage~ presence is so good I love watching you and getting amazing recommendations!!!

Hey, hey 😂😂❤❤ happy one year birthday to your channel
You really do describe scents so well! Congrats on one year and thanks for helping all of us decide what to buy ❤
Angels share is my favorite wear for winter time and I wish I could afford to bathe in it! At least the lasting power is 👌🏽
Thanks you reminded me that I have holiday Demeter fragrances in egg nog and gingerbread. I wore them mixed today 🥰
I am OBSESSED with Ginger Biscuits! It’s soooo good.

Awe man I bought this sent for Christmas and was hesitant at first. Now I’m nervous to try it on Christmas morning when I open it.

OMG... I always want to buy all of these. Love these videos.
Girrrlll I was just watching your advent calendars and now a fragrance video? Tis the season 🎉

Yippee!! Vanillas from LM ❤❤❤
The last release was 2016 of ginger biscuit
Happy holidays ❌️⭕️

How does the Zadig and Voltaire compare with commodity milk?
Honestly, I get Orange chocolate shortbread biscuits from Chocolate Greedy. It's not a chocolate to my nose. It's an orange flavoured baked good containing chocolate, my nose cannot avoid that orange. Unfortunately, I would have loved a straight-up coco puffs scent.
You said "2012" and "10 years" like that shit was nothing got me pausing the video to do math girl where's your millennial dread
Ginger Biscuit is pretty but it doesn't last at all for that price...
Have you gotten your nose on Sandalsul by Hermetica? Notes of hazelnut, vanilla, cocoa, and sandalwood! It just arrived in the mail and I’m moaning on the floor. 😍
We are meals and snacks at the same damn time
I just bought a 9ml of ginger biscuit - haven’t smelled it yet - but now I’m just hoping I don’t love it 😂😂 bc it’s so impossible to find
Why you tell us the prices for each please
💕💕💕
