I know this one is a bit simple and maybe not super popular, but I like Versace Dylan Turquoise. I used up an entire bottle of Mugler Alien Goddess last summer.
Since you love honeysuckle, I will share this with you. Annick Goutal le Chevreuille. It is a very honest honeysuckle with a green opening. Not too sweet, fresh floral. Elegant. Thank you for another thoughtful video!
I’m loving my miss dior, flowerbomb ruby orchid & Vince camuto ciao when it’s really hot. There are others I love but those are some I can’t stop reaching for
I buy fragrance free cream and body oil so my fragrances can sing. Sometimes I mix my fragrance with my oil or cream to make a prefumed body product. It saves money on purchasing expensive body products.
I live in a very hot climate and literally for like 6-7 months it is impossible to wear anything but freshies . I go through 2 bottles of Light Blue every year, I also wear L'imperatrice a lot, Versense by Versace, Aqua di Parma Arancia di Capri, Terracotta by Guerlain, Idôle by Lancôme and Coco Mademoiselle EDT now and then mostly in the evenings. I also have a few samples of the new Dolce and Gabbana fragrance called Q which I think you've mentioned in one of your videos. It's very pleasant and refreshing to me. Thank you for your video. I am always open to trying new summer fragrances..
Hi there! Light Blue is a designer masterpiece and even though mine doesn’t get much wear these days….I can’t get rid of it! It’s my hot weather t shirt go to! 😁☀️
That's really interesting that you recommended that one because even though Histoires De Parfum's "1889 Moulin Rouge" is a powdery, sweet woody Iris that's meant to smell of a vintage Parisian theatre backstage, to me it INSTANTLY brings back memories of all my past summer holidays in 5 star hotels. Y'know when you walk into the lobby, near the huge expensive flower displays, down the plush corridors and eventually pass chic women in casual dress on their way out for breakfast and you catch everything mingling in one fragrant backdraft of sorts? THAT'S what I get from 1889. Just as you wrote about Prada's 'Infusion d'Iris', I feel that 1889 has a very fresh, elegant, happy summer vibe. I wonder if I'm the only one who sees 1889 as a summer fragrance?!
@CiganyWeaver and her periwinklebluespacecaravan I've never heard of 1889 Moulin Rouge, but I am intrigued by your opinion on how it smells! I will have to get a sample, because it sounds like something I would enjoy. Thanks 😁
Hey Chris, I like your videos so much! Even though it's cheap and underrated , Green Tea by Arden is so fresh, mild and elegant in my opinion very summer appropriate. Still its longevity is poor but I don't mind since it's an affordable fragrance. I also wear Iris by Prada which I find fresh🍃💦 and chic, as well as Cloe Nomad the original. I recently bought Aqua Di Parma Osmanthus and I liked its freshness, it's got a slight sweetness , very clean, crisp, white shirt scent. ❤ from🇬🇷 Hellas!
Poolside Sunday is always a great way to start my day. Light Blue has always been an easy reach for me. We seem to be having an extended spring in GA. We finally hit 89 yesterday and to be honest I’m okay with it. I’m sure July and August will more than make up for it.
Light Blue Love is Love is an amazing summer scent. Wish it hadn’t been a limited edition. Much prefer it to the original with the raspberry and ice cream notes. I also love wearing my Alien Goddess and Alien Iced Star. Wish the Iced Star had more staying power, but a love nevertheless ❤️
i just blind bought the Versace Versence on your manyyy recommendations and I love it! Bright, fresh, citrusy without being screechy, unisex, the bottle is gorgeous. I live in a hot climate and I'm so happy to have this in my summer rotation! Thank you @theperfumenest! I also am wearing Fusion d"Issey by Issey Miyake- a fresh masculine coconut with a woody base, which is a delight. And Kenzo's World Power, a sweet but salty vanilla. I'm waiting for Nautica Voyage now...i love a good sea note. I need to try D&G's Light Blue....!
The best honeysuckle for me is Lady White Snake, I actually got this Gucci in hopes that it would be similar, but that one is much more prominent with the honeysuckle (thus much nicer I would say).
I live in Virginia, along the southern coast and it's going to be in the 60s today, on June 4th. I'm so ready for the warmth/heat of summer. I'm ready for the perfumes of summer too.
Another great video! For summer, I have a fondness for aquatic notes. Designer-wise, I like Bronze Goddess Azur and Wonderlust Eau de Voyage. I also like Donna Karan Coconuts About Summer for a nice, fun designer coconut scent. Edit: I forgot about salt notes! To me, salt screams summer days and beaches.
I wore Donna Karan's 'Cashmere Mist' (the one in the original frosted glass bottle) for years as my summer fragrance. The print ad was a black and white photo of someone in a thick knitted sweater, so that confused me as it screams summer to me.
I recommend "Rose Passion" from Jimmy Choo. It's a wonderful coconut fragrance that smells so elegant. I love it, and it lasts really long on the skin❤
I really like Gucci Bloom & flankers, they’re not mentioned often it’s nice to hear them talked about! 🌸 (The birds singing in the background so sweet 🥰 )
Oh I know the birds are adorable. I noticed a cardinal in the bushes behind me during editing. There is a pair that like to take baths in my fountain. 🥰
A few skylar aren’t carried by my Sephora and are not included in the discovery set…that is one of them unfortunately. 🤦♀️I’m still trying to get my hands on a sample
The original Kate Spade was soooo good. I don’t know why they discontinued it. None of their other fragrances are near as good. I adored the original. I had the original Marc Jacobs too. I love Honeysuckle and have a huge bush/vines in our backyard.
We also had a very hot day in NJ last week. Spot on Burberry in the hot weather, yes! I agree. I love the Chanel Chance eau vive (eau fraiche is nice too). Haven't tried the other Chanel yet. I'm loving Sci fi from Ellis Brooklyn. Think sweet Lemon ginger. I will have to try the honeysuckle ones too, which I love!
Stopped at our Ulta this afternoon. They finally had the new Black Opium tester out. Sprayed it on my left arm. Ocean di Goia on my right. Kept smelling my arms all afternoon. Loved the Black Opium. Telling myself it is my next purchase. A few hours later I asked my husband’s opinion. He preferred the Ocean di Goia. Said my Black Opium smelled like chemical cotton candy. ☹️
Even though they don't perform well at all, I'm partial to tea-forward fragrances for high summer. Jo Malone's Rare Tea Collection was SENSATIONAL and I'm still cross to think of how soon they were all discontinued. They were PERFECT tea fragrances. For now, I stick to Wulong Cha by Nishane and Qi by Ormonde Jayne. For fig and sandalwood, I'll stick with Oscent Rouge by Alexander J. My favourite all time summer fragrances are Tanger and Ambre Royale by Ormonde Jayne, Rivalite Imperiale by Plume Impression, Le Chypre du Nil by Ciro, Ivory Route by Xerjoff, Cio Cio San by MDCI, Suiren by Parfum Satori and Di Ser's 'Adameku' and 'Akanesasu'. All masterpieces. But all Japanese fragrances are considered poor performers for most non-Japanese fragrance lovers. This is all by design so the lack of tenacity or sillage are not flaws in composition but deliberate considerations for social and cultural reasons, so I comprehend that and overlook them all being so gentle and low on projection. I don't care, they're all so exquisite and perfect for the hottest days that I'm happy to touch up multiple times. Thank you for sharing your faves Chris, I loved hearing you rhapsodise! 💖🌴🍹
@@ThePerfumeNest the acqua vitae Forte is the best IMO, but they're pricey. I actually want to try the new one in the green bottle when i can get over to Nordy's
Hello Chris - love your picks. I crave Eau des Merveilles Hermes (the OG) and Lime Basil and Mandarin (of Jo Malone can be considered designer), along with Zen and Light Blue in the smmer. A fabulously fragranced season ahead. Looking forward to pool and beach time :+) Your daughter is lovely! Thanks for another great video, Chris. Tipping my glass your way.
I love Eau de Merveilles and Zen too, how lovely to find someone who loves them too. Neither are commonly mentioned in YT fragrance videos, nor mentioned in comment sections. ☺
@@itsmecsmythe My thoughtful, detailed reply comment to you has been deleted. Not by me. Just wanted to let you know. I wish I had the energy to retype it.
I enjoyed your summer fragrance video, mine out by Versace Versence Eros pour femme, English Promenade, coco vanille, coconut nana’s, Holidays, Dolce & Gabbana Garden, Shine so many more!
I just love how different some perfumes feel and smell on other people. On the contrary, when I wear Narciso Rodriguez I feel like an ice queen. So weird.
I just bought Radiant Mirage in Barcelona airport and watching your review is comforting me that I 'm going to enjoy it 100%!!(I love Gris Dior 💕) Thank you!!!
@@ThePerfumeNest I still have to test it on skin (didn't want to wear it during the flight) but yes, at first sniff on paper it's the same feeling (very happy scent for me 😄) I really want to get home and test it properly ahah !!
@@ThePerfumeNest I believe I sent you my decant a long time ago! I liked it but it’s a sweeter version of Gris Dior so for me it would have been redundant.
@@marianahernandez8306 now that you mention it…I think that’s the one I thought smelled similar to Bottega Vanetta the OG? But seeeter? Coming back now!!!!????
Omg! I have BO le Parfum! Love it! It is so beautiful for the fall and winter. I got lucky and use YSL 25 coupon. My designer summer cheapies are too many! Lol! CK Red; a refreshing watermelon! So good! Zara’s Vetiver Pompemousse and Almafi Sunray ! D&G Love is love, that ice cream and raspberry sherbet note so so good! I Love cheap and Chic by Moschini is my go to for scorching hot days! Just as good as D&G Light blue! Lastly Masaki Fluo! Such a hidden gem! So light and fruity! Great video! Have a great day
Fluo is a nice and inexpensive fruity scent!!! So nice for hot days!!! Very refreshing! But, with your collection: it might be redundant! But for me; it’s a staple for when I want to smell fresh and pretty and not doing too much! Lol
Hey Chris! 😊Happy Sunday! It’s 89° here as well so it’s nice to have a virtual trip to your backyard pool paradise!🌺 These videos are so great… Can’t wait for all you have planned this summer! 😊 ☀️ (PS… Today I was in the mood for some tropical vibes… Wearing Mancera Holiday… One spritz is perfect and yummy! )
@@ThePerfumeNest I know! .., it’s uncharacteristically warm… But I’m here for it after this long cold winter without a spring! Also, our central air conditioner malfunctioned last night and now needs to be fixed. So I guess I’m coming over to your pool!😍. I wish! 🙏😊
Fantastic list!! I picked up Zen 🧡 thanks to you and I love to wear it to work during summer!! The whole Chloé Atelier des Fleurs Range got me very curious, I really have to go get my nose on them!! I loved how your face illuminated when you talked about your daughter 🥰 🤗! Have a beautiful Sunday 💕💕
@@ThePerfumeNest Aww 🥰 That's so sweet 🥲🤗🤗🥰 Yeeees 🙌 The Cedrus and Hibiscus are great choices!! I also want to try the Ylang Cananga and the Iris one, and I love the whole idea of layering them between each other ✨!! 💕
Marc by Marc Jacobs was my signature fragrance for YEARS after it was launched and I don't remember any honeysuckle. It was a fresh, zingy & sophisticated tuberose & gardenia scent. I do love honeysuckle though, grew up with it, so it makes sense I enjoyed this fragrance if it was playing in there with the white florals.
The Chanel PaRis line just like you mentioned is light and nice for the summer and I think I have three . I also love Chanel chance. Loving cherosa 62. Thanks for sharing . Great video.
I absolutely love gucci bloom nettare di fiori, I didnt try the ambrosia di fiori but nettare di fiori is honeysuckle too, and is a little indolic. Gucci blooms are beautiful, but im not sure i need more than one.
Hi Chris! New subbie (found your thru your collab with Sharida.). Fellow Texas (Houston) gal here! I absolutely love your content and personality (not necessarily in that order 😂). A great list as always! Zen and Chanel Eau Fresh are staples in the Texas heat. Today I’m wearing Twilly and I think it stands up to the complexity of frigid AC mixed with the blast of heat and humidity outside. I also appreciate Korres White Tea. I’m not sure if they are technically designer but wanted to share. Cheers
Can you believe how hot it is already?! We were up in the 90s last week (Tulsa). Ok, now I have to try Vanilla Planifolia! 😅 Green vanillas are my fave! This one sounds like it might be similar to Angelique Noir or Lalique, but lighter.
Great list! I love the Gucci Bloom line, too! In the summer I tend to reach for men’s colognes as well - those bright citrus frags! Thameen Fanfare is great! Les Indemodables Escale en Haiti, Chanel Cristalle ❤️🙏🙏❤️
I am excited to use chabaud's caprice de Sophie and ck in2u this summer. The first is a really pretty fruity floral with a raspberry note that I love. The second one was a recommendation of another YT who does fragrance videos (ksenja) and its a fresh fruity green one - it is really inexpensive but has a cactus note and its gorgeous. So one is niche and the other is not but in the heat I think they will be beautiful. A couple others are wulong cha by nishane and fig infusion by essential Parfums. I think all of those one will be in rotation for sure for the hot weather. I have yet to try Burberry edt vs edp I got a sample of both not too long ago from sephora so eager to test them.
Ah hi! Yes I’ve shown CKIN2U several times (mostly last year). It’s a great freshie I agree!! And I’ve been wanting to try the new Chabaud fragrance because I love raspberry!! 🙌
Hi Chris ! I love your poolside videos ☺... I have a complicated relationship with my "vanilla planifolia"... to my nose it's airy and powdery yet strong and very long lasting (I bought it on vinted about a year ago... maybe an older version ?)... and a bit cloying to my nose in the end, probably because I'm not the biggest fan of powdery notes and although vanilla and spices round it I smell a fluffy mimosa in there, wich comes powdery to me (or could it be linden blossm?). Plus I'm even pickier with vanillas than I thought I was. Yet it's a beautiful and unique fragrance, ethereal indeed 🙂. Concerning YSL Black Opium le parfum, although it's also too vanillic for me to wear, I find this version to be MUCH more rounded and in the end much better than the rest of the line. One of my favourites for the summer is the las Narciso Rodriguez "for her forever"... the longevity is terrible, but I've finally found "my" Narciso ... really smells divine !
Oh I agree with you about the Black Opium Le Parfum. It’s the only BO I can wear. I’m hoping my VP will become a little stronger. But if it doesn’t it’s still perfect to me. ❤️
@@ThePerfumeNest I haven’t been as talkative much lately, everyone in my family looks to me to solve problems and I’ve been mentally exhausted lol but I’ve been around still ♥️
@@ThePerfumeNest oh my goodness that’s a hard one to pick from. But I’m going with Ormande Jayne because the pink pepper note is so perfectly blended 😍
Love your videos ❤ I've never really been a 'freshie' person but I wear fragrances like Chanel Chance eau fraiche / tendre, Chanel No 5 L'eau, Paco Rabanne Olympea in warmer months. And Sol de Janeiro 62 and 40 body mists. I feel like I have to check out the Burberry Her edt!😊
Nice selection. Mine are Aqua and Ocean di Giola...Margiela Replica Beach Walk! They just transport me to the beach where I would love to spend the whole summer but unfortunately bills need to be paid and I have to work.. besides, I live in the Midwest and the ocean is very far away 😢
I know you don’t like talking about discontinued fragrances, but Dior used to make Sweet Sun which I adored for summer. It was a non alcohol fragrance and I still can’t get it out of my head!
I wore angel nova yesterday and headed to an art fair. Multiple people came into my tent and said wow it smells good, what are you selling? 🤣 I was so confused. I had gone completely nose blind to it. But it's one of my go to for the summer and it apparently LASTS AND PROJECTS
I have Paris-Paris and I will add Paris-Venice on to my wishlist😍😍. It’s so difficult to get a full bottle of Burberry Her edt over here, I only saw a 10ml rollerball so I will have to try that since I’ve been very curious about this fragrance 😱😱. I have a travel spray of Narciso For Her edp but I love the edt more😉😉. Love your list👌👌. Stay gorgeous🥰🥰
@@ThePerfumeNest I have a bottle of the Marc Jacobs. I’ve had it for a long time, and I think it still smells beautiful. I’m kind of shocked that it still smells nice.
A Drop D’Issey, YSL Mon Paris Couture, Lanvin Eclat De Arpege and Modern Princess, Warm NY (I know I HAVE to get this to you after 100 years. I am so sorry!), Michael Kors White, Kalotinis-Aegean Salt and Citrus or Plumeria, Bobbi Brown Beach and lastly, Kai
Love the poolside videos … perfect for the season! I’d also add Dior “Eden-Roc” which I layer over Body Shoppe coconut body butter. I get luxury vacation vibes from it. ☀️👙 🏖
Yes! I have the bottle. I don’t get a ton of honeysuckle curiously. I get really strong citruses and not the sweet honeysuckle. Honeysuckle is a really sweet flower and I’d love to find that mimicked in a perfume. I’ll keep looking
Hey everyone! Let me know what your favorite designer fragrances for Summer are! ☀️
Versace Eros Pour femme. Lemon, raspberry. Mandarin, summer scent. TF Orchid Soliel, Nude Lips discontinued) warm vanilla solar notes, pink lips. Coconut. Smells like coconut cake.The Hideaway range. Online. Pineapple & coconut, Mango Magic spray & body cream. Very summery scents. BBW peach Prosecco, Addison Rae scents. Has kiwi. Fresh. Hemps pineapple Honey Melon lotion. Smells great. 🍍🥭🍋🍊
I know this one is a bit simple and maybe not super popular, but I like Versace Dylan Turquoise. I used up an entire bottle of Mugler Alien Goddess last summer.

It is a very honest honeysuckle with a green opening. Not too sweet, fresh floral. Elegant.
Thank you for another thoughtful video!
I like Chanel Gabrielle edp, and the Essence, and Dior Addict edt. 🌺💕

I enjoyed your summer fragrance video, mine out by Versace Versence Eros pour femme, English Promenade, coco vanille, coconut nana’s, Holidays, Dolce & Gabbana Garden, Shine so many more!
Theresa!! Coconut Nanas is on my sample list!!!🥰🥰
Really beautiful choices my dear Chris. I am also a huge fan of the Narcisos for Her. Chic, feminine and I feel also approachable when I wear it.
Hi Dani! Thank you!!🥰🥰
I just love how different some perfumes feel and smell on other people. On the contrary, when I wear Narciso Rodriguez I feel like an ice queen. So weird.
I bought a sample of Chanel Paris Venice based on your recommendation and it’s lovely! I immediately bought a 10ml decant ❤
Awesome!! Classy , chic, easy reach…
I just bought Radiant Mirage in Barcelona airport and watching your review is comforting me that I 'm going to enjoy it 100%!!(I love Gris Dior 💕) Thank you!!!
Aw yay!!! And yes it falls in that same catergory as Gris doesn’t it!
@@ThePerfumeNest I still have to test it on skin (didn't want to wear it during the flight) but yes, at first sniff on paper it's the same feeling (very happy scent for me 😄) I really want to get home and test it properly ahah !!
Hi Cris! I have a mini of Radiant Mirage and you are right, it has the same vibes of Gris Dior, Bottega Venetta and Tenue de Soirée!
Hi my friend! I’ve always wondered about that Goutal! Good thing I don’t need to try it now! Thx!!!
@@ThePerfumeNest I believe I sent you my decant a long time ago! I liked it but it’s a sweeter version of Gris Dior so for me it would have been redundant.
@@marianahernandez8306 now that you mention it…I think that’s the one I thought smelled similar to Bottega Vanetta the OG? But seeeter? Coming back now!!!!????
Omg! I have BO le Parfum! Love it! It is so beautiful for the fall and winter. I got lucky and use YSL 25 coupon. My designer summer cheapies are too many! Lol! CK Red; a refreshing watermelon! So good! Zara’s Vetiver Pompemousse and Almafi Sunray ! D&G Love is love, that ice cream and raspberry sherbet note so so good! I Love cheap and Chic by Moschini is my go to for scorching hot days! Just as good as D&G Light blue! Lastly Masaki Fluo! Such a hidden gem! So light and fruity! Great video! Have a great day
CK red???? How did I miss that one????😲😂
Oh yes!!! I always wanted to sample the Fluo!!
Fluo is a nice and inexpensive fruity scent!!! So nice for hot days!!! Very refreshing! But, with your collection: it might be redundant! But for me; it’s a staple for when I want to smell fresh and pretty and not doing too much! Lol
I love Chloe Vanilla Planifolia! Some other favs of mine for summer are Armani Si Fiori & Guerlain Aqua Allegoria line
Agree! So many good Aqua Allegoria ones!
Hi darling ❤just got home from England a couple of days ago and I’m thrilled to see you sitting outside !
I can’t wait to film outside
Now to watch
Missed you! Can’t wait to hear about your travels…
Hey Chris! 😊Happy Sunday! It’s 89° here as well so it’s nice to have a virtual trip to your backyard pool paradise!🌺 These videos are so great… Can’t wait for all you have planned this summer! 😊 ☀️ (PS… Today I was in the mood for some tropical vibes… Wearing Mancera Holiday… One spritz is perfect and yummy! )
89 up there??!! What the heck!! Are pigs flying also??😂😂 oh Mancera Holidays is so nice.
@@ThePerfumeNest I know! .., it’s uncharacteristically warm… But I’m here for it after this long cold winter without a spring! Also, our central air conditioner malfunctioned last night and now needs to be fixed. So I guess I’m coming over to your pool!😍.
I wish! 🙏😊
@@saraf1084 yes!!!! 🙌🙏🏻🏊🏊🏊🏊
Venise by Chanel is my fav in the collection the duevell one reminds me more of summer though 🌳🤍🍊
I agree that one is so nice and crisp!
I am enjoying the birds singing in the background.
I know. It was cute. I enjoyed it also. I hope they keep coming back. 🥰🥰🕊️
Oh the chole vanilla plantifolia sounds so beautiful, need to check that one out!!!❤
Hi Melissa! I think it’s really pretty and my daughter loved it also. ❤️🥰
Fantastic list!! I picked up Zen 🧡 thanks to you and I love to wear it to work during summer!! The whole Chloé Atelier des Fleurs Range got me very curious, I really have to go get my nose on them!! I loved how your face illuminated when you talked about your daughter 🥰 🤗! Have a beautiful Sunday 💕💕
Aw. 🥹 My daughter is my baby and my only girl. I have a soft spot. Plus she’s such a sweet kid I’m so lucky. 🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I also want to try Hibiscus and Cedrus in the line. I’m doing much better about not blind buying! 😂
@@ThePerfumeNest Aww 🥰 That's so sweet 🥲🤗🤗🥰
Yeeees 🙌 The Cedrus and Hibiscus are great choices!! I also want to try the Ylang Cananga and the Iris one, and I love the whole idea of layering them between each other ✨!! 💕
@@ThePerfumeNest ahahaha 😂 I also am trying my very best not to blind buy 😄!!
Marc by Marc Jacobs was my signature fragrance for YEARS after it was launched and I don't remember any honeysuckle. It was a fresh, zingy & sophisticated tuberose & gardenia scent. I do love honeysuckle though, grew up with it, so it makes sense I enjoyed this fragrance if it was playing in there with the white florals.
Yes so true. MJ was mostly gardenia (gosh so good) but I swear I could smell honeysuckle also. 😂
The Chanel PaRis line just like you mentioned is light and nice for the summer and I think I have three . I also love Chanel chance. Loving cherosa 62. Thanks for sharing . Great video.
I can see you rocking the Chanel ones in a crisp white shirt with sun glasses
Lucky girl! It’s fall here! Windy, rain and cold! 😩 Burbery Her edt is the only one I consider buying! Loved it when I tried it last month…
Hi fellow Canadian! Freezing here eh? 🥶😂
@@tammyroxanne. Hi! Yes! It was 5 degrees Celcius yesterday morning!
@@julieg_quebec-julesselivre8641 Brrrr! Similar temps here in NB too ❄️ lol 😆
Yay poolside video! It’s been freezing cold up here so I’m living vicariously through you! 😅
Oh we had a hot week! It’s getting cooler next week thankfully!!!!
@@ThePerfumeNest I love that perfect mid temperature! Not too hot or too cold 😌🥰
I absolutely love gucci bloom nettare di fiori, I didnt try the ambrosia di fiori but nettare di fiori is honeysuckle too, and is a little indolic. Gucci blooms are beautiful, but im not sure i need more than one.
Oh tempting! But this one is so good….I’ll be good and stick to this. I’m looking forward to shopping my stash.
Another great video and I am intrigued by the Chloe fragrance. I have to try it! 😊
It’s worth sampling for sure. Like everything. Not for everyone. 🥰
Love your pool videos. They are so relaxing. Our temperatures are much hotter than your right now. You can make any perfume sou
D good.
Oh thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Chris! New subbie (found your thru your collab with Sharida.). Fellow Texas (Houston) gal here!
I absolutely love your content and personality (not necessarily in that order 😂). A great list as always! Zen and Chanel Eau Fresh are staples in the Texas heat. Today I’m wearing Twilly and I think it stands up to the complexity of frigid AC mixed with the blast of heat and humidity outside. I also appreciate Korres White Tea. I’m not sure if they are technically designer but wanted to share. Cheers
Hi there!! Yes I’m a Houstonian also!!!! Clear Lake specifically. I am so glad you enjoy my content. Thank you!!🥰🥰🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wow, just the video I wanted to watch! Thank you Chris!
Aw thank you for stopping by Lynda!!!❤️❤️🥰🥰
So beautiful! 🧡 I know the weather and the calendar 📆 don’t go together haha
Right??!! 😂Absolutely!!
Looooove Paris-Venise😍😍
I know! I think of you when I see my bottle!!
@@ThePerfumeNest 💕
Great video! Would love to see best tea fragrances. 😊
Ok! Will do!
@@ThePerfumeNest Thank you
Can you believe how hot it is already?! We were up in the 90s last week (Tulsa).
Ok, now I have to try Vanilla Planifolia! 😅 Green vanillas are my fave! This one sounds like it might be similar to Angelique Noir or Lalique, but lighter.
Fortunately we’ve hold much cooler weather this next week. I think we just had a week of heat. For now that is. ☀️😁
yes for Chanel Venice!!!!
Right??!!!
@@ThePerfumeNest yeah for sure! But a pity of the poorer longevity
@@miles-178 it’s not too bad on me but the whole line I do find light wearing…
@@ThePerfumeNest the same experimence here
Aerin at Estee Lauder does an excellent honeysuckle single note fragrance.
Great list! I love the Gucci Bloom line, too! In the summer I tend to reach for men’s colognes as well - those bright citrus frags! Thameen Fanfare is great! Les Indemodables Escale en Haiti, Chanel Cristalle ❤️🙏🙏❤️
Oh yes I love that Les Indemodables one!!! Such a nice ambergris!!!
Hey Chris!!! Love the poolside videos. You’re looking beautiful. Off to watch. 🤍
Thank you so much!! Gosh. You are the sweetest!!🥰🥰🙏🏻
Love your videos ❤ Just subscribed!! You have me curious to try Vanilla Planifolia, just to confirm, do you like this one better than Angelique Noir?
Lovely video Chris!! I need to get my nose on Vanilla Planifolia and Black Opium, they sound delicious!!! 😍😘💛💛💛💛
They are sweet and very different vanillas. 🥰🥰
You gave me a sample of Sakura! 🙏🏼🌸🥰 I’m going to revisit it this summer! ☀️💕
Oh that seems like a very Tammy perfume! Soft sweet florals and musk. 🥰🥰
I am excited to use chabaud's caprice de Sophie and ck in2u this summer. The first is a really pretty fruity floral with a raspberry note that I love. The second one was a recommendation of another YT who does fragrance videos (ksenja) and its a fresh fruity green one - it is really inexpensive but has a cactus note and its gorgeous. So one is niche and the other is not but in the heat I think they will be beautiful. A couple others are wulong cha by nishane and fig infusion by essential Parfums. I think all of those one will be in rotation for sure for the hot weather. I have yet to try Burberry edt vs edp I got a sample of both not too long ago from sephora so eager to test them.
Ah hi! Yes I’ve shown CKIN2U several times (mostly last year). It’s a great freshie I agree!! And I’ve been wanting to try the new Chabaud fragrance because I love raspberry!! 🙌
Hi Chris ! I love your poolside videos ☺... I have a complicated relationship with my "vanilla planifolia"... to my nose it's airy and powdery yet strong and very long lasting (I bought it on vinted about a year ago... maybe an older version ?)... and a bit cloying to my nose in the end, probably because I'm not the biggest fan of powdery notes and although vanilla and spices round it I smell a fluffy mimosa in there, wich comes powdery to me (or could it be linden blossm?). Plus I'm even pickier with vanillas than I thought I was. Yet it's a beautiful and unique fragrance, ethereal indeed 🙂. Concerning YSL Black Opium le parfum, although it's also too vanillic for me to wear, I find this version to be MUCH more rounded and in the end much better than the rest of the line. One of my favourites for the summer is the las Narciso Rodriguez "for her forever"... the longevity is terrible, but I've finally found "my" Narciso ... really smells divine !
Oh I agree with you about the Black Opium Le Parfum. It’s the only BO I can wear. I’m hoping my VP will become a little stronger. But if it doesn’t it’s still perfect to me. ❤️
Hello my beautiful Chris!! That’s a beautiful selection. I love that narciso is beautiful! But not more beautiful than your daughter. 😘❤️
Aw!!! You are the sweetest!!🥹And congrats on the good news you posted to IG! 🙏🏻🙌🙌🙌
LOVE your sunglasses.... where are they from? Great video, def will be trying some! :)
Lol! Thank you. Most likely from a truck stop on family travels. 😂Buckeys or Loves.
Ooooh, some gems in this one 👌 I have several of these. I love the Gucci bloom one ♥️
Hi Danit!! So good to “see” you! ❤️
@@ThePerfumeNest I haven’t been as talkative much lately, everyone in my family looks to me to solve problems and I’ve been mentally exhausted lol but I’ve been
around still ♥️
@@Danit.Talkscentswithme oh I hear where you are coming from. I hope your time with me is relocating. 🙏🏻
@@ThePerfumeNest I love my loved ones and I love helping but I can’t fix everything… yes, TH-cam is my time , my escape 😁♥️ thank you
Sakura by Dior is my favorite from that line 🌸
Which Sakura do you like better? The Ormonde Jayne one??
@@ThePerfumeNest oh my goodness that’s a hard one to pick from. But I’m going with Ormande Jayne because the pink pepper note is so perfectly blended 😍
Hello, pool videos again. Missed that. I am wearing Perris Monte Carlo Arancia de Sicilia, yum lemonade.
Oh how nice! I’m wearing your favorite orange blossom . Can you guess??
@@ThePerfumeNest What? What? What? Perdizione or Ellie Saab?
@@KarolinaPL06 Perdizione!!!
@@ThePerfumeNest yum yum lemon cookie. Love it
@@KarolinaPL06 lol! I get a lot more florals (OB) but it’s delicious!!!!
Yay Chance Eau Fraiche! It is a compliment getter 💯 ❤
Yes! You showed it in your last video right?
What fragrance would you recommend in very hot weather. I live in Houston and it’s really hot here.♥️
You are so cute and silly! A freshie but you don’t like those. 💕🥰
Love your videos ❤ I've never really been a 'freshie' person but I wear fragrances like Chanel Chance eau fraiche / tendre, Chanel No 5 L'eau, Paco Rabanne Olympea in warmer months. And Sol de Janeiro 62 and 40 body mists. I feel like I have to check out the Burberry Her edt!😊
Chanel No. 5 L'Eau is amazing.
Those are all great I agree. I love Chanel #5 L’Eau …..I have Eau Premier which is close….otherwise I’d buy it immediately.
Nice selection. Mine are Aqua and Ocean di Giola...Margiela Replica Beach Walk! They just transport me to the beach where I would love to spend the whole summer but unfortunately bills need to be paid and I have to work.. besides, I live in the Midwest and the ocean is very far away 😢
Me also! I’m always wanting to be transported to the ocean as well!! Love my salty vanillas!!😁🥰🥰
@@ThePerfumeNest oh...I'm also loving the Joe Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt! Talk about beachy smell 🏖
I know you don’t like talking about discontinued fragrances, but Dior used to make Sweet Sun which I adored for summer. It was a non alcohol fragrance and I still can’t get it out of my head!
Did you track down a bottle?
@@ThePerfumeNest not for the ridiculous price they are asking.
I wore angel nova yesterday and headed to an art fair. Multiple people came into my tent and said wow it smells good, what are you selling? 🤣 I was so confused. I had gone completely nose blind to it. But it's one of my go to for the summer and it apparently LASTS AND PROJECTS
That is so cute!!! And yes that one is a power house. I’d love to get up there this summer for an exhibit!!!
@@ThePerfumeNest Madison is beautiful in the summer!! Give it a visit!
Aqua di Goia is a great summer fragrance. It’s by Armani.
You are right. That is a great one!!
It's lovely.
I have Paris-Paris and I will add Paris-Venice on to my wishlist😍😍. It’s so difficult to get a full bottle of Burberry Her edt over here, I only saw a 10ml rollerball so I will have to try that since I’ve been very curious about this fragrance 😱😱. I have a travel spray of Narciso For Her edp but I love the edt more😉😉.
Love your list👌👌. Stay gorgeous🥰🥰
Hello dear!!!! I like Paris Paris also!!
I loved the original Kate Spade. That was a great one. Why do they always discontinue such gorgeous perfumes? 😢
I know right?!! Did you ever get to try the original Marc Jacobs one?
@@ThePerfumeNest I have a bottle of the Marc Jacobs. I’ve had it for a long time, and I think it still smells beautiful. I’m kind of shocked that it still smells nice.
Any chance you could do a banana or banana smell like perfume video Chris ? Love your taste in fragrances 💞🇨🇦
Oh my gosh! Do you read minds? I’m gathering them in my “video” basket as we speak. Esp florals that have a banana vibe….🙌Coming up soon!!
A Drop D’Issey, YSL Mon Paris Couture, Lanvin Eclat De Arpege and Modern Princess, Warm NY (I know I HAVE to get this to you after 100 years. I am so sorry!), Michael Kors White, Kalotinis-Aegean Salt and Citrus or Plumeria, Bobbi Brown Beach and lastly, Kai
Kai. Your wedding day scent. 🥰🥰
Love the poolside videos … perfect for the season! I’d also add Dior “Eden-Roc” which I layer over Body Shoppe coconut body butter. I get luxury vacation vibes from it. ☀️👙 🏖
Oh my gosh! I have both of those!!!! Never thought of that combo!!!😃🙌
Paris Venise ❤
Yes!!😁
❤ radiant mirage
Yes!!
Very refreshing video ❤❤
Aw thank you friend!!
They are amazing❤
Thank you!!🥰🥰🙌
Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for stopping by!!!!🥰
Ok, so a 3 months ago, id never tried a dior privée fragrance, and now look, ive bought three 😂 I probably shouldnt go try sakura 😂
Really? Oh do tell…
@@ThePerfumeNest I'll make a video when I've stopped checking them all out 🤦♀️
Have you tried Mediterranean honeysuckle by Aerin?
Yes! I have the bottle. I don’t get a ton of honeysuckle curiously. I get really strong citruses and not the sweet honeysuckle. Honeysuckle is a really sweet flower and I’d love to find that mimicked in a perfume. I’ll keep looking
Chris I want to head your way to swim! Our entire courtyard and pool is closed this summer😢😢😢
What??!! Oh Lord I’d freak!! Why??
Great selection for summer
Hugs ❤
I missed you!🥰
Very nice, ty Chris! 💙🌝💦⛱️🌴
Thanks for popping by!
