I adore Cloud...because of you! I wasnt even in the fragrance game, saw your video and just had to have it. Now I have three AG perfumes, lol. My fave "sexy nighttime" scent is Dior Hypnotic Poison. I have used half of my 30ml bottle and I just got it in October. I I want Poison Girl now too... Since I got a new job and will be working 100% from home, I can now soak in all the frags I want. I will not be stopped!
I was wearing By the Fireplace on the day I got my COVID booster and the nurse said, “Omg, you are the most fabulous smelling patient I’ve had in a while!” 😂
Also we have such a different scent preference (I love citrus clean scents) but I will never miss a scent Sunday because I love your videos- I feel like I’m talking to a friend.
I enjoy layering By the Fireplace with Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille for evening, and with Skylar Vanilla Sky for day. I used to strongly dislike By the Fireplace and now I LOVE it! Thank you for these videos - can’t wait for the dupes one. I’d love to save some money while still smelling amazing and expensive! 😉😂
If you’re interested in other chocolate fragrances, I’d suggest Amour De Cacao from Comptoir Sud Pacifique. It’s a literal brownie straight out of the oven. It has an orange top note, but I pretty much just get chocolate. So mouth watering. I found a sample at Olfactif and am glad I tried it!
I would love to see a video about how you layer perfumes and which ones you layer. I would also love a perfume collection/storage vid!! loving scent sunday
We seem to have similar preferences, and I highly recommend Unknown Pleasures by Keroscene. It is such a yummy gourmand with lots of vanilla (and earl gray). I also recommend their coffee scent Follow.
I am but a simple gay man who uses precisely one perfume but I'll be damned if I don't love listening to you describe scents. Why yes, maybe I do want to smell like I'm wearing black leather lingerie haha
I guess I live under a rock lol, but you’re the one who turned me on to Baccarat Rouge. I got a sample and dayum it’s *that* good. Expensive enough that it will be awhile till I buy a full bottle, but that is going to be a very happy day!! ETA: Happy birthday!! I truly think 30s are the best decade 🌞
I have a decant of Minuit et Demi and it is absolutely beautiful. ❤️❤️❤️ Definitely on my list to purchase sometime soon. Another decant I have is instant crush. I’ve tried wearing it about 3 or 4 times and I cannot get along with it. My nose picks it up as really screechy and sharp. And the sharpness never fades into anything sweet for me. I don’t like that one at all. And instant crush really clings. It was on my clothes even after washing them. 😮
I’m definitely into the warm, sweet, sultry “leather and lace” types of fragrances. I only have By the Fireplace from this list. I agree. It’s wonderful.
I love these scent videos. Always with new ideas and always so fresh. I love perfumes but can’t afford the expensive ones right now but she still always has one in there I love or want to try.
Ohhhhkay. I'm obsessed with Dark Vanilla. Been getting so many samples and this week be my first niche bottle. Omg. I've been a subscriber for a long time, and you've been my favorite creator for a long time. You and I got into scents at the same time, and it's so cool we have some of the same tastes!!
I think 2020 during covid when a bunch of dupe brands opened(dossier,Alt, julianas perfumes) everyone started getting sponsored by them hence talking about fragrance more which got everyone talking about fragrance more. The power of a sponsorship is strong.
Lauren you should really try Commodity's Exploration Kit. 6 scents each in 3 different strengths. I love Velvet and Milk. All of the scents are like woody, warm, spicy etc... nothing overly floral 🙌
Loved this video as a little departure from the conventional "date night scents"! It's interesting to see what people think is sexy or makes them feel confident! If you ever end up with a Montale sample pack, I'd love to hear your thoughts. I feel like those scents are complex and I like how you tell a story. It's not enough to hear a reviewer say "oh this is sweet, this is musky" when I'm about to drop hundreds of dollars on a vial of liquid.
i love these videos so much! your scent descriptions are great and always make me laugh bc they are so spot on (the scents as types of lingerie for example :) ). i'm super excited for the BR 540 comparisons/dupes video bc i got a bottle for christmas i am currently OBSESSED with it to the point where i am starting to get concerned that i'm going through my bottle too quickly lol. i want to test out some similar ones that are less expensive :)
You want a dupe for baccarat rouge 540 go for orientica amber rouge its just as good as baccarat. Also a dupe for lancome oud bouquet thats actually even better is oud saffron. It's a beautiful super sweet scent with oud and omg its good, good! Orientica has been killing it with their new launches and the bottles are absolutely stunning. I paid $52 for each bottle on e bay and they were authentic bottles. DEF WORTH IT!
I am so loving this scent sundays! Have you smelled Angel Muse? I know, I know - Angel is a divisive scent but Angel muse is quite different. Gourmand, spicy, sweet with notes of hazelnut. Some patchouli but perhaps more like the patchouli note in majestic woods (tho I haven’t smelled that yet). It’s nice because it’s a very accessible scent and can be very affordable.
I'd describe none of my perfumes as sexy. :' The closest is maybe the rare day when the ambergris comes out in Libre. There's something salty and sensual about that note in particular, but the perfume as a whole is usually untouchable, serious, and almost coldly masculine to me.
Definitely want to get more into perfume, because who doesn't want to smell good? I think it's interesting that we have some overall scent preferences similarities for the woody and unisex scents but differ greatly at patchouli. lol I absolutely adore patchouli but understand that it is intense and not everyone's cup of tea! P.S. keeping tabs on Twisted Lilly's sample options and have my eye on Noir Patchouli and now Dark Vanilla! P.P.S. was intrigued by that last one too, but my god that price 🥲
Lauren, have you smelled Gris Charnel by BDK? It is very much a beautiful warm cozy hug of a scent and judging by several of these scents and your scent profile preferences I think it might be one you would like. I wear Oud for Greatness and I find it feminine on my skin, perhaps because the rose is quite pronounced on me. It’s definitely one of my top favorites. Lastly, I’ve always enjoyed your channel, but it’s also been great seeing you expand into fragrances. You are really good at this.
If I’m going out for a date with my husband, 9 times out of 10, I’m wearing Replica Jazz Club. Sexy and sultry but not too much (imo). A banger if you, like me, are a sucker for tobacco notes. (Imaginary Authors Yesterdays Haze is a lighter and sunnier version of Jazz Club to me. Tobacco without the booze, in a way that’s wearable during the day. I’ve even worn it to work, so that’s probably what I’ll be wearing this V-Day) Otherwise, it’s MFK Grand Soir. Grand Soir is stronger and can at times be overpowering, like I can only wear one spritz, any more and it’s too much. But it’s sooo good. Makes me think of a sexy, sophisticated Parisian woman out on the town late at night.
When you combine scents, do you literally put them on top of each other on your pulse points? Or do you sit them “next” to each other (say, a different scent on each wrist) I’m curious about layering 🙃 another awesome perfume video Lauren!! 💕
I spray them in different spots. Sometimes if you spray on top of each other one can overpower the other. For example I will put one scent on one pulse point and the other scent on the other pulse point. I will also spray one scent on the top of my shirt and the other at the bottom of my shirt.
I really like a lot of fragrances from Byredo!! I haven't thought to do an overview of their brand but I know a few of the scents will make it on to wishlist and other list type videos!! I feel like Black Saffron is so slept on!!
The replica by the fireplace does not work for me unfortunately. The initial smell turned me off and the dry down was not it for me which I was so disappointed cause everyone loves it! I actually love the cloud 2.0 than the original. I find that one to be the sultry version like a stormier cloud!
Can you do this video: blind trying “basic” scents and describing them w hubby? Intrigued about what you’d think about the common commercial scents like viva la juicy and how you’d describe them!!!!
Okay I am in a hurry to get ready but just HAD to stop to write a quick comment that I know what you mean about the burning thing in your nose that you mentioned regarding kayali! I actually have the KVD sinner perfume (from so long ago it was before she got cancelled lmao) and it does that to me every single time. And I love the scent but it makes me not want to use it bc that initial burn is so unpleasant! It must be something about the alcohol that’s in the formulation being too heavy or something
Hi Lauren…I LOVE that you’re really getting into perfumes and I Really LOVE these videos. It doesn’t hurt that you and I have a Very similar scent profile. Have you ever heard of the brand Commodity? They used to be sold at Sephora and about a year or two after I fell in Love with the brand, they suddenly closed the business (right around my birthday) About a year later…again right around my birthday, they relaunched the brand and honestly, I think its better now!!! At some point, it would be awesome if you could sample some of their fragrances. My signature scent is Book But I have a soft spot in my heart for Whiskey…reminds me of New York 😘. For a sexy scent, its gotta be Velvet or Leather or both! 😜
I tried the Alt version of Baccarat and I absolutely hated it - so I had to order a sample of the real deal to see if it really smells like that 😂 Haven’t gotten it yet but I am so curious
Ahhh I feel you!! I feel like there are quite a few perfumes that have been out of stock lately because of shipping and supply issues!! Some vanilla perfumes I have been wanting have been totally sold out!! Hopefully it will come back soon!!
I gotta say, I think Byredo's sample pack for me was really disappointing. They also never emailed me the discount code that they promise, so I'm really over their company in general
I collect perfume. I have a large collection. Could you put these videos on a separate channel because I have to smell the blend to know if I like it or not. People can talk about something all day, but even as much as I've read about different notes and such, only smelling something can tell me if I'll like it. I've bought perfumes that I loved, read about them later, and have no idea why I liked them based on the description, but I do. These videos just show up as unwatched in my list and they stay that way because words about smells don't make any sense to me.
Got my Jammies on, did my nighttime skin care, brushed my teeth and cuddled down under my fuzzy blanket for Scent Sunday with you. I love this series!
OMG!, you just described my very same steps before getting into this video. Loved that 😘. Good night 💤💤💤💤
I love this so much. I’m having belated scent sunday in the bath monday morning!
I adore Cloud...because of you! I wasnt even in the fragrance game, saw your video and just had to have it. Now I have three AG perfumes, lol. My fave "sexy nighttime" scent is Dior Hypnotic Poison.

Scent Sunday is my favorite day!! Love that you started this series on your channel 😍
Ahh I'm so glad you like it!! It's my favorite day too!! :)
if it helps, saffron is the salty component in baccarat rouge - some people think it's latex-y, some people think it's spicy and leathery. :)
Also we have such a different scent preference (I love citrus clean scents) but I will never miss a scent Sunday because I love your videos- I feel like I’m talking to a friend.
I enjoy layering By the Fireplace with Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille for evening, and with Skylar Vanilla Sky for day. I used to strongly dislike By the Fireplace and now I LOVE it!

I really like how you paired the visual notes to the video.
Thank you!!
I guess I live under a rock lol, but you’re the one who turned me on to Baccarat Rouge. I got a sample and dayum it’s *that* good. Expensive enough that it will be awhile till I buy a full bottle, but that is going to be a very happy day!!
ETA: Happy birthday!! I truly think 30s are the best decade 🌞
I would love to see you do a video on spicy/woody/gourmands that you feel could work for warm months too!
If you want to nail down the smell of saffron, you could try making some saffron rice. It's also delicious. :)
I have a decant of Minuit et Demi and it is absolutely beautiful. ❤️❤️❤️ Definitely on my list to purchase sometime soon. Another decant I have is instant crush.

Thank you, Lauren! Hope you’re feeling better!🥰
yessss I LIVE for your scent Sundays! your videos are just so comforting and cozy! ❤️❤️ and I already knew you would have some unique choices!! 💅✨
Oh wow, I never thought of mixing By The Fireplace with Baccarat! I’m going to try that this week. Thanks. 💕💕
I love these scent videos. Always with new ideas and always so fresh. I love perfumes but can’t afford the expensive ones right now but she still always has one in there I love or want to try.
I am so glad that you make perfume videos now 😍
Ohhhhkay. I'm obsessed with Dark Vanilla. Been getting so many samples and this week be my first niche bottle. Omg. I've been a subscriber for a long time, and you've been my favorite creator for a long time. You and I got into scents at the same time, and it's so cool we have some of the same tastes!!
Omg for real, it seemed like Lauren started talking about scents right as I started getting into them too! I love this series!
I think 2020 during covid when a bunch of dupe brands opened(dossier,Alt, julianas perfumes) everyone started getting sponsored by them hence talking about fragrance more which got everyone talking about fragrance more. The power of a sponsorship is strong.
Baccarat Rouge is unbelievable. Love it and I haven't bought it ---yet as it is expensive.
I cheated and bought the dossier knockoff and I can’t really tell the difference between it and the real thing ❤️
I love your videos Lauren!
Thank you!! So glad you like them!! ❤️❤️❤️
Lauren you should really try Commodity's Exploration Kit. 6 scents each in 3 different strengths. I love Velvet and Milk. All of the scents are like woody, warm, spicy etc... nothing overly floral 🙌
Love Scent Sundays. I recently got the Indi from Katy Perry and it's a gorgeous unisex musk. I love all your recommendations!
Loved this video as a little departure from the conventional "date night scents"! It's interesting to see what people think is sexy or makes them feel confident!
If you ever end up with a Montale sample pack, I'd love to hear your thoughts. I feel like those scents are complex and I like how you tell a story. It's not enough to hear a reviewer say "oh this is sweet, this is musky" when I'm about to drop hundreds of dollars on a vial of liquid.
I love your Scent Sunday series!!!
I used your link to buy the sample of “Minuit Et Demi”. You made it sound amazing! I can’t wait to try it!
I absolutely love fragrance Sundays!!!
Who is everyone’s favorite fragrance TH-camrs? Just getting into this and I love these vids from Lauren!
Instant crush was my wedding scent 💕 I love it all year round
I'm watching this for like the third time lol, this is one of my favorite videos that you've ever done!
So interested in Middle Eastern Fragrances and would love to hear your thoughts as we have a very similar scent profile.
i love these videos so much! your scent descriptions are great and always make me laugh bc they are so spot on (the scents as types of lingerie for example :) ). i'm super excited for the BR 540 comparisons/dupes video bc i got a bottle for christmas i am currently OBSESSED with it to the point where i am starting to get concerned that i'm going through my bottle too quickly lol. i want to test out some similar ones that are less expensive :)
Well, don't mind me, I'll just be taking notes because these all sound gorgeous!
You want a dupe for baccarat rouge 540 go for orientica amber rouge its just as good as baccarat. Also a dupe for lancome oud bouquet thats actually even better is oud saffron. It's a beautiful super sweet scent with oud and omg its good, good! Orientica has been killing it with their new launches and the bottles are absolutely stunning.

Makes me think of a sexy, sophisticated Parisian woman out on the town late at night.
Nice to have different takes on perfumes because not everyone like the heavy sweet gourmand fragrances
When you combine scents, do you literally put them on top of each other on your pulse points? Or do you sit them “next” to each other (say, a different scent on each wrist) I’m curious about layering 🙃 another awesome perfume video Lauren!! 💕
I spray them in different spots. Sometimes if you spray on top of each other one can overpower the other. For example I will put one scent on one pulse point and the other scent on the other pulse point. I will also spray one scent on the top of my shirt and the other at the bottom of my shirt.
I spray them in different places as well as over each other. There is no right or wrong way. However you want to mix them.
would love to see a perfume collection and maybe a top 3/top 5
God still going on your scent videos can’t stop won’t stop
Very much enjoying Scent Sunday's Lauren! How do you feel about Tom Ford fragrances?
I’m obsessed with your Scent Sunday videos! My fave fragrance brand is Byredo (I have three) - are you planning on reviewing the brand in this series?
I really like a lot of fragrances from Byredo!! I haven't thought to do an overview of their brand but I know a few of the scents will make it on to wishlist and other list type videos!! I feel like Black Saffron is so slept on!!
I was so excited when byredo collaborated with ouai on the leave in conditioner with Mojave ghost.. ❤️❤️❤️ i had to buy a back up 😂
“By the fireplace” and an ocean salty perfume layered might give that ‘summer beach bonfire’ vibe and calm the salty tang down too.
I wonder if you could layer the chocolate cereal perfume with by the fireside and get a slight s’mores scent?
OMG!!! I am totally trying that tomorrow!! haha I will keep you posted!! Thank you!!
The replica by the fireplace does not work for me unfortunately. The initial smell turned me off and the dry down was not it for me which I was so disappointed cause everyone loves it! I actually love the cloud 2.0 than the original. I find that one to be the sultry version like a stormier cloud!
My fav sweet, sexy scents are Skylar Vanilla Sky, Victor & Rolf Bon Bon, Jimmy Choo Fever, YSL Black Opium and Juicy Couture Viva la Juicy.
Please try Witch’s Cottage by Solstice Scents. The description is a story and you can literally smell it in the same order it’s awesome
Very interested in more perfume content!!!
Can you do this video: blind trying “basic” scents and describing them w hubby? Intrigued about what you’d think about the common commercial scents like viva la juicy and how you’d describe them!!!!
Poison is one of my favorite date night events. It gives sexy 80s boss bitch energy.
Okay I am in a hurry to get ready but just HAD to stop to write a quick comment that I know what you mean about the burning thing in your nose that you mentioned regarding kayali!

Commodity Velvet all the way! One of my favorites! So different.
@@juliehaywood4391 Oh Yay!!! That is So Awesome. Sometimes I think Im the only one who has heard of Commodity 🤪
I love Chocolate Greedy! That will be my next purchase.
It’s so yummy!! 🍫🍫🍫
I know I say this every week, but I love scent Sunday ❤️
I tried the Alt version of Baccarat and I absolutely hated it - so I had to order a sample of the real deal to see if it really smells like that 😂 Haven’t gotten it yet but I am so curious
I love all your videos but I'm really feeling like creating your own valentine's palette from your singles. Please 🙏
1,000% agreed about Instant Crush!
Any thoughts on jo malone? Been thinking of trying then out
I've really wanted to get chocolate greedy for a while but none of the perfume retailers I use have had it in stock 🥺
Ahhh I feel you!! I feel like there are quite a few perfumes that have been out of stock lately because of shipping and supply issues!! Some vanilla perfumes I have been wanting have been totally sold out!! Hopefully it will come back soon!!
♡Scent Sunday♡
Come to Minnesota! Your by the fireplace will feel right for a few months yet here!
I gotta say, I think Byredo's sample pack for me was really disappointing. They also never emailed me the discount code that they promise, so I'm really over their company in general
