Here a year later almost to re watch this video for the summer coming up. I have to say, thank you for the layering combinations of sunny side up and utopia vanilla coco. It really makes the kayali one much more wearable for me. I’m not a gardenia fan usually but sunny side up really tone it down and this create a wonderful balance. This is the way to go..!
I really love that you review so many different fragrances, and also credit others. Always a classy professional. Love from the spooky Pine Barrens in NJ
I love your descriptions of fragrances so much! I always really struggle to blind buy fragrances because I don't find most descriptions very helpful at all, lol. Eventhough I love coconut notes, this summer I got Lacome Idole Nectar and have been *obsessed* with layering it with fruity bodysprays, especially peach! It's a total rose-bomb but also has a caramel and popcorn notes, it sounds so weird but it's INCREDIBLE.
First of all: the lipstick is giving me everythingggg! My favourite fruity scent is Mixed Emotions by Byredo, I love blackcurrant as a note and the smoky, leathery mate tea and birch notes in that perfume just make it smell so... badass? I agree that it's just so nice to see fruity notes taken into a bit of a different, more grounded direction.
Lauren, your recommendation of Coconut Palm made me want to try it so I recently smelled it when I was at Target, and I was IMMEDIATELY thrown back to my trip to Miami. We stayed at the Ritz Carlton in South Beach and Coconut Palm reminds me SO much of the scent they pump through their vents. It’s that PLUS Diptyque Philosykos (they have their bath products in the bathrooms) and now I have an Instant scent memory. I know that’s not really important for anyone but me but it was such a cool experience. Coconut Palm itself smells SO GOOD -and I totally agree with what you’ve said about how it smells way more expensive than it is
Great video. my favorite Xerjof fragrance is Lira. It's the perfect gourmande in my opinion. Top: Blood orange, Bergamot and lavendar. Middle: Cinnamon, liquorice and jasmine. Bottom: Caramel, vanilla and musk. I would say that I don't really get the liquorice (wich is a note I don't prefer) It is mostly a sweet caramel, vanilla and blood orange scent but it is just so intoxicating to me.
I absolutely love. Love love your fragrance videos. I adore how you describe each scent! so vivid and atmospheric realistic…like I’m smelling them at the very moment. Keep these great video coming ❤❤❤
I LOVE Escada perfumes!! I get migraines so they don't bother me!! My favorite perfume is Philosophy Falling in Love but I am always searching for a stronger version of it!! I recently ordered the Trish Mcevoy No. 9 blackberry vanilla because they say it's a stronger version of Falling in Love!! Fingers crossed!!!🤞
have you tried Lancome's La Vie Est Belle Soleil Cristal Lancôme? you can really smell the coconut, vanilla, orange blossom and bergamont and i think you would love it as a summer scent! plus the packaging is amazing!
Have you ever tried Kate Walsh’s Boyfriend perfume? You and I have a lot of similar tastes, and that’s one of my epic loves. It has to be sprayed on the skin, though, NOT the clothes, or it just doesn’t smell right. Anyway, your love of by the fireplace and woodsy vanillas makes me think you might like (even love?) Boyfriend come autumn time.
I got into the Skylar scent club after listening to you talk about their perfumes and checking them out, and I’ve been so delighted so far. Boardwalk Delight is incredible, and my Cabana Retreat just arrived and I love it too!
I've always been interested in fragrances but have really dipped my toes in thanks to your channel. :) My go-to scent this summer has been Paula's Ibiza by Loewe. The Eclectic one is lovely too, but the original is so unique and lovely. Maybe you'd be into it because it's unisex and has coconut as a top-note!
You are so right about Burberry Her…it smells so sweet and beautiful in the opening…once it’s on my skin it goes like a chemical aftertaste type of non unique smell.
Things that come to mind and remind me of summer: Pop by Stella McCartney (2016) CK2 by Calvin Klein (2016) Anything from Nest New York (I wear them all year) I’ve been sampling a lot of things this summer, actually, so I do not have a go-to fragrance this summer. Aug 2022 I purchased a full bottle of La Belle Le Parfum by Jean Paul Gaultier (2021) on my honeymoon in Jamaica. I wore that into Fall and winter, but it always now reminds me of vacation!
So I'm just watching this now.. I'm on vacation in September going to Hawaii! I love to buy a holiday fragrance so thank you for this.. I'm going to take this list with me as I love a tropical fragrance. Plus I'll be heading back to summer in Australia afterwards .. cheers with love from Australia xxx
I picket up Sunfruit based on a previous video where you featured it. I gotta say that I love it for summer! It doesn’t feel sophisticated, but maybe that’s what I like about it for a summer fragrance, because I love how bright and cheerful it is. It brightens my mood as soon as I spritz it. Its brightness reminds me of Malibu Musk, which I had when I was a teen, but Sunfruit’s less sweet and less “Bath and Body Works”, I think. My complain is that it doesn’t have nice longevity or sillage, such a bummer. I feel like Ellis Brooklyn’s scents have that problem, at least that’s been my complain about the two that I’ve tried.
Do the Mix Bar perfumes last on you? That's definitely where my budget is, but I'm still looking for lasting power. Thank you, Lauren!! This was so fun to watch. 💜💙💚
I'm definitely interested in the coconut ones, but the mix bar one looks like it's sold out right now. Kinda sad. I've tried heretic dirty coconut through scent bird. It smells like fresh coconut cream in me, but the longevity sucks. I sampled nest's new coconut one in store, but it goes super floral on me.
Papaya paradise has been my favorite since getting it like a month ago, I think I’ve worn it almost every day since then 🙈 I don’t know if you’ve tried magnolia bliss from Juliette has a gun but I have also loved that one this summer, much more floral but in a fruity way instead of in like a sharp or powdery way? Florals often give me a headache so I can’t really wear them too much, but that one I can wear daily!
Beach Nights is amazing. To me it smells exactly like walking into a candy store with the hot caramel popcorn and candies being made. With the sea salt and drift wood that make it more interesting like you said. I had to get a backup off of Mercari. I NEED it in a candle and a Wallflower!
Girl! I had a discovery set from Juliet has a gun with Sunny Side Up, and that ones all used up! I’m going to need it! I’m happy to pull out fireside from replica, but I’m really not ready to put my summer scents away! I picked up the Bath and Body works one you’d recommended on EBay! Someone sold me a set of lotion and body mist, and I just love it’s
Great list, I recently bought vanilla coco 01 and OMG my favorite coconut fragrance to date!! So creamy and yummy!!🙌🏼🙌🏼💕 Also, mango skin is so so good, and I have been wanting one umbrella for two for a long long time!!! Question I know you live fig have you ever smelled Santal blanc from van cleef and arpels, it’s a fig sandalwood perfume?
I tried Lilac Love from Amouage today and it was so hard not to buy it immediately! It was definitely a love at first sniff situation that I was not prepared for based on looking at the notes. Powdery gourmand lilac with chocolate and vanilla anyone? I could not stop smelling myself!
Say goodbye to summer? nooooo 😭🥺 my one solace is that the majority of my fragrance collection is sweet gourmands, which lend themselves more to cold weather. Also my favourite Xerjoff is definitely Italica, it's very lactonic, cherry/almondy, and delicious to me 😌
What, instant Crush is similar to Sunset Hour?? Im on the hunt for a beast mode version of Sunset Hour, never bought nor smelled Instant Crush bc i have BR540 and several dupes, but maybe i really should give it a try....
SunFruit just smells like a fruity basic body spray to me, I was super bummed about that one. I get no fig and no coconut which were the main things I was interested in. 😔 However- I LOVE coconut palm. The sweet coconut with some salt…is ADDICTING 🤤
I totally understand the coconut water and watermelon stink smell. I have had such a hard time finding any type of melon scent that smells good on me, they all just smell like b.o. on my skin.
I'm hoping to finish my mini bottle of D&G Light Blue by the end of the summer 😅 I won a perfume from Beachwaver last summer, and it's very strong, but fades to a kinda gross scent for me, so I might just use it as a toilet spray 🤣 oof.
i think juliette has a gun vanilla vibes should be in this list too, she is giving beach girl but she is bold and sexy you can smell of salt water from her skin, the salt note in it makes it so unique imo, its everything you can think of beach in a bottle!! such a hot girl summer perfume, suitable for night also 😼 i love it ❤️🔥
Great list and haul! Love beach nights have the cream and spray!I'm a big xerjoff fan,to me cruz del sur 11 is like a mango milkshake on my skin.others that I love have to be urba pura ,the best fruity perfume on the market,its beast mode and a compliment getter,xerjoff symponium, a beautiful orange chocolate type perfume,xerjoff la capitale a Carmel strawberry ,xerjoff dama bianca, a great fruity vanilla, xerjoff dolce almafi, its like juicy fruit gum,xerjoff lira,an orange Carmel cake with almond,xerjoff itlalica, the best gourmand besides lira on the planet!those are my tops,I could go on but you'll fall asleep.if you like a great fruity scent go for urba pura or from simone andreoli sunplosion. I know summer is over but a great tropical scent on the market is by city rythmn called miami,chefs kiss!heart sparks from the brand is also good but it's a cherry scent.not many people talk about the line cause it's small but good perfumes.also simone andreoli has some good ones, leisure in paradise, pacific park, malibu party in the bay and sunplosion. Imho.fyi❤️💯
I literally EAT UP Lauren's perfume videos despite the fact that our scent tastes could not be more different!!
Your fragrance descriptions are SO helpful! So relatable and understandable, I appreciate these videos so much.

the ridiculously specific scenarios you make up to describe fragrances are my favorite. they always make sense and i don’t understand why. 😂
First of all: the lipstick is giving me everythingggg!
My favourite fruity scent is Mixed Emotions by Byredo, I love blackcurrant as a note and the smoky, leathery mate tea and birch notes in that perfume just make it smell so... badass? I agree that it's just so nice to see fruity notes taken into a bit of a different, more grounded direction.
I love One Umbrella for two but I always think of it as my cozy, fall scent with the tea note, and blueberry pastry smell
That has me so excited to wear it into the cooler months!!
I love hearing you describe fragrances and that you include a range of prices.
Lauren, your recommendation of Coconut Palm made me want to try it so I recently smelled it when I was at Target, and I was IMMEDIATELY thrown back to my trip to Miami.

Until a few weeks ago I have ignored Jo Malone and fruity perfumes. Now I love Jo Malone's Nectarine Blossom and Honey!
Great video. my favorite Xerjof fragrance is Lira. It's the perfect gourmande in my opinion. Top: Blood orange, Bergamot and lavendar. Middle: Cinnamon, liquorice and jasmine. Bottom: Caramel, vanilla and musk. I would say that I don't really get the liquorice (wich is a note I don't prefer) It is mostly a sweet caramel, vanilla and blood orange scent but it is just so intoxicating to me.
I agree with you on Sunny Side Up. Love it so much. Just wish it projected a little more.
You look so pretty in this video, love the buns. I love summery perfumes and wintery perfumes the most
I absolutely love. Love love your fragrance videos. I adore how you describe each scent! so vivid and atmospheric realistic…like I’m smelling them at the very moment. Keep these great video coming ❤❤❤
I’m thinking of getting Jazz Club from Replica for my fall scent this year. Would love to see a fall scents video for more ideas!
Ooo that one smells so cozy. Like someone with thick rimmed glasses, a leather purse, and a fun book
I got it last year and I reach for it so often. Definitely a great unisex bourbon smokey vanilla.
I love waking up to these videos on Mondays!
I LOVE Escada perfumes!! I get migraines so they don't bother me!! My favorite perfume is Philosophy Falling in Love but I am always searching for a stronger version of it!! I recently ordered the Trish Mcevoy No. 9 blackberry vanilla because they say it's a stronger version of Falling in Love!! Fingers crossed!!!🤞
I also get my Tom Ford 60 percent off from the Cosmetic Company. Especially bitter peach and lost cherry.
Great video! Love these recommendations!
THE PACKAGING FOR "ONE UMBRELLA FOR TWO" 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I’ve seen so many ads for the Mango skin fragrance and I need to get it now
have you tried Lancome's La Vie Est Belle Soleil Cristal Lancôme? you can really smell the coconut, vanilla, orange blossom and bergamont and i think you would love it as a summer scent! plus the packaging is amazing!
Omg I wanna buy that One Umbrella for Two for the packaging and the travel, it's ingenious!
A few of my favorite Xerjoff fragrances are Dolce Amalfi, Dama Bianca, Decas, Lira….to name a few. 😊
Have you ever tried Kate Walsh’s Boyfriend perfume? You and I have a lot of similar tastes, and that’s one of my epic loves. It has to be sprayed on the skin, though, NOT the clothes, or it just doesn’t smell right.
Anyway, your love of by the fireplace and woodsy vanillas makes me think you might like (even love?) Boyfriend come autumn time.
Mangoskin is one of my favorite fragrances ever
I got into the Skylar scent club after listening to you talk about their perfumes and checking them out, and I’ve been so delighted so far. Boardwalk Delight is incredible, and my Cabana Retreat just arrived and I love it too!
I've always been interested in fragrances but have really dipped my toes in thanks to your channel. :) My go-to scent this summer has been Paula's Ibiza by Loewe. The Eclectic one is lovely too, but the original is so unique and lovely. Maybe you'd be into it because it's unisex and has coconut as a top-note!
Darn it, Lauren, you've gotten me hooked on perfumes. Scentbird was just the gateway drug. I am addicted. ;-P.
That lip and and sparkly inner corner 💞
Starting at 14:15 -- that was one of the most helpful description comparisons for me! Thank you 😊
You are so right about Burberry Her…it smells so sweet and beautiful in the opening…once it’s on my skin it goes like a chemical aftertaste type of non unique smell.
The new Alien goddess intense!!! Was love at first sniff for me!!
That and Beach Walk are easily my summer favorites!
I am wearing Skylar Coconut Cove and Atellier Lemon Island together right now!
If you like a good fruity tropical scent but elevated try memo tamarindo and kajal lamar. Rich vibes!not sure if you've tried these.❤😊
Finally, someone who is as obsessed with JHAG Sunny Side Up as I am!
Things that come to mind and remind me of summer:
Pop by Stella McCartney (2016)
CK2 by Calvin Klein (2016)
Anything from Nest New York (I wear them all year)
I’ve been sampling a lot of things this summer, actually, so I do not have a go-to fragrance this summer. Aug 2022 I purchased a full bottle of La Belle Le Parfum by Jean Paul Gaultier (2021) on my honeymoon in Jamaica. I wore that into Fall and winter, but it always now reminds me of vacation!
For a lactonic woody fragrance I highly recommend D.S. & Durga’s Debaser if you haven’t tried it! It’s really creamy and the fig note is great.
So I'm just watching this now.. I'm on vacation in September going to Hawaii! I love to buy a holiday fragrance so thank you for this.. I'm going to take this list with me as I love a tropical fragrance. Plus I'll be heading back to summer in Australia afterwards .. cheers with love from Australia xxx
That lipstick really looks good on you! 😊
I have Dama Bianca from Xerjoff’s Casamorati line and I’m obsessed. I’m not sure it’s your vibe, but it’s so good. I want La Capitale as my next one.
Have you tried anything by Tokyomilk? French kiss is my favorite. For a more affordable one is mixed bar (get at target) love the vanilla bourbon one.
Wow so cool that you're showing Goldfield & Banks! The Australian brand. I know someone who knows the owner/founder hehe
I’ve been dying to try Xerjoff Shunkoin which is supposed to be a yummy powdery vanilla. Right up my alley. I only own one Xerjoff- which is Lira.
I picket up Sunfruit based on a previous video where you featured it. I gotta say that I love it for summer! It doesn’t feel sophisticated, but maybe that’s what I like about it for a summer fragrance, because I love how bright and cheerful it is. It brightens my mood as soon as I spritz it.

I think you'd like Angel Iced Star. 😁

At some point could you do a video on tobacco/leather perfumes or anything musky deep like that?
Great list, I recently bought vanilla coco 01 and OMG my favorite coconut fragrance to date!! So creamy and yummy!!🙌🏼🙌🏼💕 Also, mango skin is so so good, and I have been wanting one umbrella for two for a long long time!!! Question I know you live fig have you ever smelled Santal blanc from van cleef and arpels, it’s a fig sandalwood perfume?

I am sad for Summer to go to but also can’t wait for the vanillas I will be able to wear out!! I will have to check out Italica!!
What, instant Crush is similar to Sunset Hour?? Im on the hunt for a beast mode version of Sunset Hour, never bought nor smelled Instant Crush bc i have BR540 and several dupes, but maybe i really should give it a try....
SunFruit just smells like a fruity basic body spray to me, I was super bummed about that one. I get no fig and no coconut which were the main things I was interested in. 😔
However- I LOVE coconut palm. The sweet coconut with some salt…is ADDICTING 🤤
I totally understand the coconut water and watermelon stink smell. I have had such a hard time finding any type of melon scent that smells good on me, they all just smell like b.o. on my skin.
Have you tried dossier? If sooo....Does it compare to high end? Like the wear?
I'm hoping to finish my mini bottle of D&G Light Blue by the end of the summer 😅 I won a perfume from Beachwaver last summer, and it's very strong, but fades to a kinda gross scent for me, so I might just use it as a toilet spray 🤣 oof.
I didn't see your blush listed below and I was wondering what you were wearing?
here for the late (but surely) content 🎉 🎉
Hey Lauren, what do you think about sunset hour and pas ce soir? Are they similar scent?
Sad it’s almost fall :(
I am sad to see Summer go but I LOVE Fall scents so I also can’t wait to wear all those perfumes that have been tucked away!
Aaaaaaand SWOSH spring is here once again! 💕 🌞
i think juliette has a gun vanilla vibes should be in this list too, she is giving beach girl but she is bold and sexy you can smell of salt water from her skin, the salt note in it makes it so unique imo, its everything you can think of beach in a bottle!! such a hot girl summer perfume, suitable for night also 😼 i love it ❤️🔥
I like the Vanilla Utopia scent but it reminds me of a dirty diaper smell at first... it’s strange
Mango skin is so sexy, I think it’s that red wine note that just elevates it 🤤
💗💗💗💗💗
💕❤️💕
Your lips look amazing!
