Absolutely love the complex little world Heretic built inside the Nosferatu bottle. Chilly, damp, mossy, funeral flowers, spooky and ornate. Feels like something Serge Lutens would wear to Orpheline’s funeral.
Heretic’s custom sample pack was the most fun and interesting fragrance experience. Before that, I only knew them for dirty coconut and that is a for life fragrance.
If you love that atmosphere captured in an olfactory proposition, may I recommend Relique d'Amour by Oriza L Legrand. The saddest thing I've ever smelled. Not at all for everyone.
I’m so sorry that you’re feeling burnt out. I’m familiar with the feeling.😢 I hope you get the chance to truly rest and decompress. Your health is the biggest priority.❤
Ohh that Lilac scent sounds divine! My grandmother was a prize winning botanist. I remember the way the warmth of the sun would come through her bedroom window waking up that delicious scent of lilac! I fear what that beautiful bottle will have for a price tag! I may have to give in on both of those fragrances! I COMPLETELY get what you mean when a fragrance gives you a whole experience! The fragrance Bulletproof by Tokyo Milk Dark does that for me. From the bottle to the scent. Its cold and metallic as if you are in a sexy spy novel wearing thick velvet where you are walking and see your breath! That house discontinued "Novicane! and I am so sad. Nothing came close to it. It actually "smelled" numb! SO unique! I see subreddits on people missing it! Love your channel and CHEERS to a healthy and happy new year! xx
I looked it up as I’m interested as well and was pleasantly surprised that a 50ml bottle of Lilas is about $50 including shipping 🪻💜 definitely ordering !
First comment of the year, and my first comment on your channel! I’ve learned so much from you last year; thanks so much and hope you have a great 2025!
When I say I am OBSESSED with The Maker’s Dream….that is a fraction of how I feel about it. I have backups because I never want to run out of it. This fragrance is the essence of me. It feels personal; comforting, familiar, and calms and grounds me immediately. ❤
Omg something tells me it took a lot of time to do this video!! I appreciate all your hard work and love all the perfumes I have off of your recommendations 💗💗
Fantastic video, Olivia, thank you! 🤗 The Lilas fragrance is, indeed, perfection - I have 2 bottles and thinking I need a back-up for those! It is so beautiful and reminds me of the lilac tree that was in my nan's garden. M&S currently stock it in the UK for only £22 😊
Happy New Year 🎉 I know Rosario was 2023, but it is one of my favorite all time fragrances. I have a sample of Casablanca on the way. Very excited to try it bc I really love and respect what House of Bo is doing. My fav from this year is Delphinus by Creed. I got a sample and really wanted to hate it, but couldn’t. It’s a total love for me. Glad to hear you’re taking care of you 🫶🏻
Ein gesundes und maximal glückliches Jahr in allen Bereichen, liebe Olivia 🥳 du bist und bleibst für mich die coolste Duftkönigin 👸 Gott erhalte Dir Deine Lebensfreude und ansteckende Begeisterung❣️💋
I love heretic perfume!! Would love to see a dedicated video to this fragrance house. So many unique scent DNAs that I would love to hear your thoughts on!
One of my favorites purchases this year has got to be Angham. I actually like it better than Burberry Goddess, which I only like after the top notes dry down. I loooove it after that. So Angham has the gorgeous vanillic allure all the way through without whatever it is in the Goddess top notes that disagrees with my nose and skin. Even my football loving, non-cologne wearing lumberjack-like male friends made nice comments on how good Angham smells on me. I should buy a backuo while it's available and very affordable.
I love your descriptions of fragrances - so articulate! One described as ethereal made me curious. I wonder if you might be willing to do a video dedicated to fragrances you consider to be ethereal?
Fabulous list! I met you at ScentXplore and you asked me what my favorite scent is and I said Casa Blanca 😊 I also tried Guidance 46 recently and was blown away. I hate the original, but love the 46 version!
My favorite buy of this past year was Angham by Lattafa. In fact, when the first bottle was 1/3 gone, I bought another from the same Ebay seller. Oh, yum! As someone who never pays more than about $45 for any fragrance, it was the best blind buy ever. Living in a rural mountain area, I don't have access to anywhere I can test or smell perfumes and the samples can get so expensive. Angham may be my main go-to for 2025. Your descriptions are so vivid, love them! ~Cynthia
Thanks for sharing these with us and Best Wishes for the new upcoming Year✨️ I not yet buy Niche Fragrances because they are to expensive for me personally. My TOP 5 ME Fragrances of this year are: Nudo exotic Flowers North stag Quatre Ophidian Black Cherry Teriaq Intense Her confessions Lattafa My Top 6 Designer releases of This year are: Hermes Barenia Scandal Absolu JPG Angel Fantasm DBIR Green Stravaganza L'interdit Absolu Flowerbomb Tiger Lilly Best discovery of this year: Balenciaga Paris Best cheapie of this year: Oscar de la renta Alibi Eau sensuelle
Love this! Have been loving House of Bo and Chris Collin’s. I haven’t smelled lust yet (haha) but sent a decant to my boyfriend based on the profile, he shares your enthusiasm for it. Cant wait to smell it (we both love and wear African Rooibos) sending love, recharge those batteries!
all are great! tobacco 01 and casa blanca ❤❤❤ and i just grabbed a sample of nosferatu because of the experience you shared before the holiday! waiting on the right moment to try!
My favourite from 2024 is Flowerbomb Tigerlily, its a scent that I can wear for weeks on end without getting bored with it, sweet and fruity, light and warm, it may even be my favourite ever!
lol I love to smell like a grandma 👵🏽 😆 I agree with being on the middle ground of masculine and feminine, I really enjoy a good pink pepper moment and when you said “it’s like you put a leather jacket on” I thought that describes me lol I enjoy that aspect of fragrance, it’s such a different experience for everyone and it’s interesting to see how skin warmth makes it unique to everyone.
I feel pretty neutral about guidance! I think it smells nice, it’s just not my style and I would not wear it, but if I smelled it on someone else I would find it pleasant
Ok, Lilas is going on the list. I love that scent, I always buy the Bath & Body Works products when fresh cut lilacs is available (which I think is only the candles and wallflower oil). No need to add anything to it, just give me lilac.
I suspect that Devotion might be similar to Akro Bake, which for me smelt like sharp artificial lemon gumdrops (a bit detergent-esque) with a gourmand vanilla. For me, the vanilla and lemon don't go well.
I hope you're recharging your energy banks! I'm mostly into Arabian scents these days, so my top pick for 2024 would be Angham. I also picked up Blue Madeleine, and while I loved the DNA, it didn't have any lasting power on me. I'm wondering if it was just a bad bottle, so I returned it for an exchange and don't have the replacement yet.
Hi Olivia. Great list & ur descriptions are def story book worthy 😊❤ I need to try angham.. and look into house of Bo. Thank you for being transparent about your struggles.. you got this.. and take care of you ❤❤❤❤XOXO
Yesterday I wore Oro Verde and really enjoyed it. Bought the set with Bom Bon and Casablanca.. Will be adding more House of Bo that’s for sure.. Also loved Greenevvaganza
I really, really wanted to love Noble Blush. I actually bought it immediately... that bottle!! But something in it (also in Amethyst) goes right up my nostrils and into my brain and all I can smell is this weird tangy muskiness that gives me a headache. I can smell nothing else in the composition. Why??? Those notes in Noble Blush are perfection!
I really like Teriaq Intense (waaay better than the original). Sad I picked a sample of Agua de Santos and Rosario instead of Oro Verde and Casa Blanca.
As an older member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I love Olivia's take on gender labels for fragrances. I think we need to step away from describing a scent as masculine or feminine. It opens up the world of perfumes for enthusiasts. I mean why would anyone want to dismiss tens of thousands of options just because it's labeled? Seriously? I definitely love sweet and pretty fragrances but I also rock gorgeous bold scents. There are truly some absolutely STUNNING "male" leaning fragrances that I refuse to ignore because I identify as a woman. Perhaps it's just my age. I grew up in a generation where feminine perfumes were intense and complicated. I find chypres comforting. I hope that in 2025 we step out of the mold fragrance houses created for us. I refuse to wear a label I didn't choose.
And before you even mentioned The Noir, I was going to say Casa Blanca is like The Noir took time off from their cool art job to go to an all inclusive and drink some cocktails lol
Girl I absolutely love lilac as well!! And often times layer lilac and violet ❤❤so since u have a lot of niche I have a question.....does Lilac Love by Amouage smell amazing or she I just skip?? Lmk ❤❤❤
Absolutely love the complex little world Heretic built inside the Nosferatu bottle. Chilly, damp, mossy, funeral flowers, spooky and ornate. Feels like something Serge Lutens would wear to Orpheline’s funeral.
Can’t wait to get my hands on it when it restocks. Coeur noir is my fav that I own from then so far!
Heretic’s custom sample pack was the most fun and interesting fragrance experience. Before that, I only knew them for dirty coconut and that is a for life fragrance.
If you love that atmosphere captured in an olfactory proposition, may I recommend Relique d'Amour by Oriza L Legrand. The saddest thing I've ever smelled. Not at all for everyone.

I looked it up as I’m interested as well and was pleasantly surprised that a 50ml bottle of Lilas is about $50 including shipping 🪻💜 definitely ordering !
HOUSE OF BO took the perfume house award for sure this year. In absolute awe of Casablanca. I agree. Timeless signature scent worthy
First comment of the year, and my first comment on your channel! I’ve learned so much from you last year; thanks so much and hope you have a great 2025!
Your ability to really describe scents is fantastic!
HELL YEAH, IT'S MY FRAGRANCE FAIRY GODMOTHER
Lilac is my favorite scent note. It makes me happy.
Agree. Nothing beats fresh lilac.
There was a lilac bush outside my window as a child :) nothing can compare

Which Casa Blanca? I worry about the confusion around this one as there's a very popular Middle Eastern fragrance called Casablanca too.
@ the Casa Blanca she mentioned in the video… the one by House of Bō.
@@AmeerahAromas Thanks for clarifying. I'm keen to try it as it sounds like a great summer scent.
Did we just become best friends!? Love and wear most of these. Love your descriptive stories
Oro Verde in my own words: rainy day in autumn forest, morning, leather jacket, damp ground. but it smells so sophisticated.
Lilac is my favorite scent note. It makes me happy...😍😍
I sprayed Green Stravaganza on a card and I could still smell the fragrance over a week later. It’s beautiful too.
My favorite buy of this past year was Angham by Lattafa. In fact, when the first bottle was 1/3 gone, I bought another from the same Ebay seller. Oh, yum!

Happy New Year 🎉 Love your reviews! Well, I just had to add about 5 more to my "must sample" list 😊
Love this! Have been loving House of Bo and Chris Collin’s. I haven’t smelled lust yet (haha) but sent a decant to my boyfriend based on the profile, he shares your enthusiasm for it. Cant wait to smell it (we both love and wear African Rooibos) sending love, recharge those batteries!
your way of describing fragrances is amazing
Take care of yourself, my friend. (And Fragonard is, as you might say, a criminally underrated house.)
Beautiful video
I love green extravaganza!!! I really want to try Bo fragrances. Love the content ❤
Happy new year Olivia!! 🥳😘💞💖💜
all are great! tobacco 01 and casa blanca ❤❤❤ and i just grabbed a sample of nosferatu because of the experience you shared before the holiday! waiting on the right moment to try!
OOoooh you have some admirable restraint waiting for the right moment for trying a new scent
Nice production
Useful vdo.. thanks for sharing

Nice blog vedio❤
Such a great video. Totally understandable if you need a break. Take care of yourself first & always. We will wait.
lol I love to smell like a grandma 👵🏽 😆

Lilac is my favorite scent of spring here in Ohio 💜
Good collection
I love your videos ❤
Could we get your favorite perfumes for winter?
I have seen all the fall perfumes videos, but I've never seen a winter one yet! 😢
excellent product..... 😍😍😍😍😍
Beautiful
Nice blog
I just love your voice!
I feel pretty neutral about guidance! I think it smells nice, it’s just not my style and I would not wear it, but if I smelled it on someone else I would find it pleasant
Ok, Lilas is going on the list. I love that scent, I always buy the Bath & Body Works products when fresh cut lilacs is available (which I think is only the candles and wallflower oil). No need to add anything to it, just give me lilac.
The movie Nosferatu was an amazing experience. I need to sniff this fragrance! (Horror is my favorite genre).
Oh wow! Just looked up Lilas and its only £22 here in the UK! Running to buy a bottle!!!!
I suspect that Devotion might be similar to Akro Bake, which for me smelt like sharp artificial lemon gumdrops (a bit detergent-esque) with a gourmand vanilla. For me, the vanilla and lemon don't go well.
More like a honeyed orange than lemon to my nose but definitely synthetic in a similar way
@@danasaywhat_43exactly
I found chris collins fragrances on scent bird and have not tried lust but i adore sweet taboo.
Wow Nice Products 🥰🥰🥰
Good ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Gorgeous
I hope you're recharging your energy banks! I'm mostly into Arabian scents these days, so my top pick for 2024 would be Angham.

Happy New Year Olivia….looking forward to watching your 2025 videos. I can’t get over the fragrance price increase….❤️❤️

Outstanding
Olivia I received the Lilas fragrance. Can you suggest another layering fragrance for it. I can't afford the one you suggested. Thanks
I really, really wanted to love Noble Blush. I actually bought it immediately... that bottle!! But something in it (also in Amethyst) goes right up my nostrils and into my brain and all I can smell is this weird tangy muskiness that gives me a headache. I can smell nothing else in the composition. Why??? Those notes in Noble Blush are perfection!
Very nice
Good porduct
Nice porduct

Have you tried Caswell-Massey lilac? It’s a lilac suede to die for 💐
And before you even mentioned The Noir, I was going to say Casa Blanca is like The Noir took time off from their cool art job to go to an all inclusive and drink some cocktails lol
Wow🎉
Wow
💯 Lattafa Angham for scent, longevity, and affordability
Girl I absolutely love lilac as well!! And often times layer lilac and violet ❤❤so since u have a lot of niche I have a question.....does Lilac Love by Amouage smell amazing or she I just skip?? Lmk ❤❤❤
