    It’s amusing that people get upset that you’ve decluttered something you raved about once upon a time. You’ve made it pretty clear that you’re very picky and have no intention of having a 500+ perfume collection. There’s definitely no reason for me to be offended that you let go of things I love. LOL I still love them, and I’m not letting them go. People are so goofy, but you handled it graciously and entertainingly. 😊

    • @AnneLauren
      @AnneLauren  ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Thank you! Absolutely! Everyone's collection should be personal, it doesn't have to match the preferences of someone online

    • @Esh486
      @Esh486 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I don't get it either. It seems that some people think TH-camrs and other influencers are never allowed to change their mind about anything... if they said they loved something, they have to love it forever. 🤦‍♀

  • @frenchdesk8891
    @frenchdesk8891 ปีที่แล้ว +37

    Thanks for keeping it real! Perfumes are like people-good for a reason, a season or (very few) a lifetime! I check in periodically with my collection to see if each fragrance is worthy and decluttered a bunch.

  • @Esoteraeon
    @Esoteraeon ปีที่แล้ว +23

    I honestly LOVE it when people rip into perfumes and are super honest. It saves me money when I'm testing out something and on the fence of buying it. I have friends who'll tell me if it smells like wet cigarettes, bathroom cleaner citrus, pepper spray, gasoline, a PS4 😂

    • @AnneLauren
      @AnneLauren  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      OMG that's quite the list! 😂😂

    • @olihaga9736
      @olihaga9736 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      😂 What? There is a oerfume smelling like a PS4? Which one? I want it, but I hope it doesn't not smell like PS5 cause it's not my thing😂

  • @results_not_found
    @results_not_found 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Ahhh Anne! Your declutter-related videos are my guilty pleasure.
    Being a fellow fragrance lover with a sizable collection, I often found myself lost in my gems. So, I created a Notion template to keep track of my declutters, wishlists, budget, and overall collection. It's been a game-changer for me, and I thought it might be helpful for other fragrance enthusiasts too. If you or anyone else is interested, just let me know!
    Looking forward to more of your wonderful declutter videos!

  • @stephaniec4766
    @stephaniec4766 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    I love watching declutters, it’s an interesting way to learn about the perfumes and your preferences. I also appreciate the heads up at the beginning to skip forward if we didn’t want to hear descriptions that might ruin a scent for us! 😊

  • @juliareid3258

    Wood sage and sea is one of those smells I’d like to smell at a spa or yoga/pilates studio, but not necessarily on myself 😄🙈

  • @ems_h.eartnotes
    @ems_h.eartnotes ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I'm so with you. If it's not an absolute love, right now, it's out. I don't want stuff sitting there just for the sake of it

  • @victoriam.6430
    @victoriam.6430 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I love the idea of curating my collection too! I’m a lot more mindful of what I bring in and if a perfume I’m considering is similar to something I have, I don’t bring it in until I use up the one I have. It really helps keep the size of my collection down. Great video as always! 👍🏻

    It seems like people are TRYING to love these beautiful fragrances more than actually loving them. Because you can smell it's unique.. it smells good.. it smells quality. And a perfume can be all of these things and still not Full Bottle Worthy for your tastes. And that's ok. I would love to hear about these experiences too. I only want the best of the best fragrances in my collection that I love.

  • @singlehandedbeauty3581
    @singlehandedbeauty3581 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Decluttering an amazing perfume that doesn't feel like you is totally a valid reason to declutter. I too am only keeping fragrances that I absolutely adore, sampling more, and blind-buying less.

    • @juliefaithrn
      @juliefaithrn ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You are absolutely right! I decluttered Dior Addict. It was years ago, so closer to original release. It just overpowered me. It wore me.

    I LOVE your mindset of “no likes, only LOVES” in your collection. And how you want everything to truly feel like YOU. It’s inspired me sooo much to be more mindful and careful with what I put in my own collection. Not to mention I’ve have substantially less blind buys. Thx for being a good influence on be bby! 🤎🖤🤎🖤🤎

    @addiebarrilo339 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    January was the typical mid winter panic clean for me (NY living it’s finest) and I decluttered sooooo many (as usual) and man it felt good. There’s nothing like clearing out your perfumes and seeing that extra room open up..for more obviously but still. I was high off that shit for weeks. Go ahead girl💃🏽

    I finally boarded the Cloud train, but I really wanted to get the intense. Wellll I sprayed both versions on my hands and my daughter told me the intense smelled like something that would be sold in Justice or Claire’s. I was so offended lol.

    @anicac4424 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Lol. I got a sample and just purchased Dolce Amalfi cuz I want to smell like a piece of Juicy Fruit gum. 😂 . Sugary sweet is not usually my vibe, but this one pulled me in a nostalgic memory sort of way.

  • @sarahglen1140
    @sarahglen1140 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I saw that video, and was wondering about a couple, but I figured you had had your time with them, and decided they weren't for you. No shame in that. You have always been up front about being true to yourself and curating a lot. I love Wood Sage & Sea Salt, it reminds me of my grandma, but I'm the best way possible. I only have a little 9ml of it though, and really just use it for when I want to be comforted, or sometimes to go to bed, but that's really it.

    • @AnneLauren
      @AnneLauren  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Awe I agree, it's a very calming, comforting scent ❤️

  • @naamahnotorious955
    @naamahnotorious955 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's often a question of changing body chemistry. The way a perfume interacts with your skin is not static, it's dynamic. And sometimes that changes the way we enjoy it. It's all good.

  • @seansimmons73
    @seansimmons73 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I tried God of fire & it was a like but not a love. I think there's an oud note in the mid that's not working on my skin. However, I tried a sample of Mango kiss & it blew me away...until I saw the $300 price for a 50 mil which made cringe. I'll eventually get a bottle of MK but I got to save up, too many things on my to buy list

  • @mommyof6brats
    @mommyof6brats ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I heard that Santal 33 smells like pickles. As soon as I spray it, that’s all I smell now. Ruined it for me.

  • @marieantoinette3451
    @marieantoinette3451 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Anne! You shouldn't have to explain and certainly not apoligize to other people's opinions on your own collection! You are my favorite and most in -line with my very picky fragrence types. I just got my first "Big girl bottle 3.3 oz" of Ylang in Gold" yesterday based on your magical fairy/princess video and Ive got a big list 😅✨️ My next bottle (and this one has grown on me slowly 😂) Bal D Afrique! Also need Rosendo Mateau No 5 and G Water but I'm on the fence which Byredo to buy 😢 I absolutely love buying travel sprays. It gives me about a month or so to really get a good grasp on if I need it FBW ❤ LOVE YOUR Videos!!! p.s. I think all Jo Malone smell cheap to me. I don't get the hype 🤷‍♀️ And although im only about 3 minute's in the video..Im wondering do you sell your declutter perfumes?! I re-sell mine on Mercari or Poshmark. I only wish there was a perfume swap website!! P.S. You mention buying samples.. have you ever tried a perfume subscription box?? I think about 1/3 of an ounce is really truly enough for most perfumes. I may wesr it for a few weeks and be over it! I wish someone would do a recommendation video on what to try on these subscription boxes (hint hint video please 😂) I have used Scentbix, PURPLUX, Fragrencenet and want to try Royalty Scents.

  • @scentedtemptation
    @scentedtemptation ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I really don't get the comparison of Dolce Amalfi with a gum. I just don't. And I really tried to understand the comparison, my nose just doesn't get it. So I'm happy to have it in my collection ☺️

    • @AnneLauren
      @AnneLauren  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh I’m glad you don’t!! It’s a great fragrance!

    • @scentedtemptation
      @scentedtemptation ปีที่แล้ว

      @@AnneLauren yes 😊😁 I'm happy as well. But frankly it was a blind buy even after I listened to everyone calling it a bubble gum 😅 and because of it I was expecting something much sweeter.
      I get Green Apples and Quince in the opening + lots of spices and that is how I continue smelling it on its dry down... spicy.
      But no bubble gum for my nose.
      It's so interesting how different our noses perceive tge same scents 😁

    • @lisalefevbre2562
      @lisalefevbre2562 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sometimes I get the Juicy Fruit and other times I just get this wonderful warm spicy scent. I just take whatever I get in the moment because to me it all smells good no matter what. I think that our noses can be strange like that and pick up on certain notes one day and not another. I am not sure why, but defiintely finding this to be true on my fragrance journey.

  • @seansimmons73
    @seansimmons73 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I got the juicy fruit vibe from Dolce Almofe immediately, but it's what I like about the fragrance. I wear it usually around Halloween with a shirt with pink in it because bubble gum was my favorite thing to get when trick or treating. You're not wrong about a fragrance changing on your skin. I'm a gym rat, so my diet a lot changes depending on if I'm trying to gain muscle or lose weight. For example, I love Silver mountain water by Creed when I'm losing weight, but when I'm bulking up, the metallic note gets so strong that it becomes almost unwearable for me

    I’m so happy you are shining some light on Genre Parfums. They are my favorite house right now. I love so many of their offerings. My absolute favorite is an og called Jane. I’m so in love with this fragrance. They have so many that are loves for me, though . I tell all of my friends about Genre. The quality, pricing and the customer service is chefs kiss for me!! Have you tried their dupe for Mason Matha Escapad Gourmand called Mello Vanillo? Oooh it’s sweet and spicy 😍
    I just want to live my fragrances and I have so many in my collection that are just like. I am a blind buy type of person so I’ve ended up some duds for sure. You had some really interesting ones here that you’re get rid d of.

    • @AnneLauren

    Commodity was super overhyped. None of them work on their own including milk. It’s too milky on its own.
    La capitale is a super love for me, and one thing I like about it is it is clearly not for everyone. It reads completely different to me than to you.
    Wood sage and sea salt is nice too but I’m not sure how much I would wear it either.
    IMO the more you are exposed to new scents the more understanding it is that you fall more in love with something new and leave behind some scents. It happens to me too and I’m just regular. 😂

    • @AnneLauren
      @AnneLauren  ปีที่แล้ว +1

And then I wore it and it was just completely overwhelming that i couldn't wait to get home and rid myself of it. I tested it on a paper strip too and it smelled so good days after lol

    Curious to know what you do with the ones you declutter. And honestly as people we are allowed to grow and change so why would be want to have scents we don't absolutely love in our stash? I think you nailed why I don't like milk its the freaking tonka/sandalwood vibe I think. I wish I got marshmallows. But not mad I will finish my sample as its a learning process for me. I am trying out all my samples lately and so many have been nice but not worth it for me or surprising but its keeping me honest. I don't want to not want to reach for something if that makes sense.

    • @AnneLauren

    • @AnneLauren
      @AnneLauren  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Awe no, don't feel stupid! Most of the time I don't have this issue, it's only very occasionally that I feel like a fragrance will change quite noticeably when it macerates. You should be good :) For the most part, the juice tends to just perform a bit better, maybe the scent gets a touch deeper. For future backup purchases, I would wait about 6 months of owning the scent before deciding for a backup, just to be sure :)

    The exact same thing happened to me with Dolce Amalfi. I sold it.

Similar. Have you tried it?

    I've been on a fragrance journey for 6 months now. I will ONLY buy full bottles that I absolutely love...that kind of love where you just randomly sniff your bottles because the scents make you that happy. So far I have 21 fragrances that I love and 136 fragrances that I either hate or just didn't love enough to be full bottle worthy. I'm picky as well and having fragrances that I don't love overwhelms me...at one point in time I had a couple of blind buys that I hated and I didn't want to see them so I had to hide them in my closet.

    I heard someone say a cedar forward fragrance reminded them of hamster bedding and I can't unsmell it. I used to really like cedar, but now cedar dominant reminds me of changing my guinea pigs cage as a kid and I'm so mad. I don't know if my husband has a busted nose, but he says a LOT of fragrances smell like his mom, and I usually disagree. But he said it about Cocoa Woods from Nest, and after he said that I couldn't unsmell it and its so annoying.
    Things that I noticed myself and then couldn't stop smelling it:
    Oriana and Love Don't Be Shy smell like fresh corn chips from a restaurant. Lune Feline smells like Carmex or the medicated diaper balm we used on my little brother when I was a kid. Spiritueuse Double Vanille smells like a cheapie I got from Rue21 or somewhere as a preteen, so it's nostalgic but smells young and inexpensive to me, which I know it very much isn't.
