I personally don't really find Good Girl to be a gourmand.. It does smell sexy and expensive, I will give it that, but that's the jasmine coming through for me. So many people love it and I wanna love it but I'm just very picky when it comes to florals. Maybe I'll fall in love one day.
My favorite ones are: d&g the only one, flowerbomb nectar intense (my signature Winter/fall scent), d&g limperatrice (signature summer scent), prada candy by night, viva la juicy, miami blossom/Island kiss/Flor de sol by escada, also scandal by night and la nuit tresor ❤
Would recommend a video covering gourmand celebrity edition: Britney spears, Paris Hilton Dazzle (cherry) Jessica Simpson Fancy (Carmel) etc Many of us appreciate hearing of affordable fragrances
This is such an amazing video dear🥰❤ La vie est belle is my current favorite. I am definitely gonna try Jimmy Choo once the present situation gets better! Thanks a lot for sharing these amazing videos. I would love to know your take on Cartier perfumes, especially Baiser Vole🤗 Hope you are doing good..Stay safe love💕💕
Gourmand fragrances are my favorite! My favorites are Love by Kilian...Princess by Kilian...Soft by Al-Rehab....Ristretto Intense Café by Montale..Fresh Fig by Laura Mercier...and Hypnotic Poison.
Thank you for your great videos! I am disappointed today bc I’ve been convinced Hypnotic Poison was going to be my signature scent (I’m very much a Leo and loooove vanilla) but I received a sample in the mail today and I reeeaaally did not like it!! It smelled sort of bitter or sour to me. I’m excited to try the Jimmy Choo and Angel. I do wear La Vie Est Belle and am about to get Si Passione from a Sephora gift set and I loooove both of those. It’s a fun journey through fragrances and your videos are so fun to use to guide me towards new scents!
Hi, I love your videos and thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have been looking for a cinnamon fragrance, there is one by Azarro but that’s for men. I thought about making my own but after watching the diy on YT I’ve realized I might not have the patience, plus the essential oils are not cheap. Which cinnamon fragrance do you recommend?
Hi dearest soki.. I love gourmand parfumes.. I have la vie belle la nuit tresor and a la folie, angel muse so yummy sexy, Hypnotic poison edt, armani si and 2021 intense ..I love sweet gourmand nutty chocolate parfumes 🤤💗💗
Love your videos! I’m not the type to blind buy but I’ve heard great things about Gucci’s “The Alchemist Garden” perfume line and I don’t have any stores here in Newfoundland that sell it🥺 could you do a video and help me decide if it’s worth a blind online buy💗
I went and tested jimmy choo and it was nauseating to me ☹️ I felt like the sweetness was nice but the florals is what was amplified. Gave me granny vibes. I was quite disappointed. I wanted to love it
I have a question )or a video idea maybe🤔): which do you think is the best perfume bottle size to buy (30, 50 or 100)? I am not a heavy perfume wearer, so I almost never go for full size, but always get confused between 30 and 50ml. Could you help? How many sprays are in 1ml of perfume? Another important question: is buying miniatures worth it? I have seen good offers on them, but I don't know how long they would last or if they are worth the money? You have many of them, so maybe you could help 🤗

Hi Soki what other perfume could be similar to Alexander McQueen's-McQueen Perfume?? Jimmy choo illicit is also amazing..am a huge perfume lover and own alot! Thanks for your reviews! Your gorgeous!
Has anyone tried the MONDE LE GOURMANDE ones ? They have a bunch of good value sets I wanna try! ESP interested in lait de coco (coconut milk) , Mais souffle (popcorn) , pistachio brûlée , and the chai spice one !
Jimmy Choo ended up smelling like shaving cream on me. Not sure why. :( Love Good Girl. Another good one is Fancy by Jessica Simpson and Gold Couture by Juicy Couture.
See, Jimmy Choo is probably my least favorite. I don't smell pear in it (that's in in my all time favorite, Givenchy L'interdit) but the only thing I like about it is a faint, very faint, smell of gasoline or leather. I don't know if I'm the only one that smells but that's what I like about it.
@@SokiLondon i mean light by appropriate for summer. I own that scent and use it at summer times. But its just my opinion 🤷♂️ (read "ish" at the end 😉)
I don't understand why La Vie est Belle is so popular. To me it smells very "old" like something an old lady would wear or a young lady would wear like 90 years ago. Bonbon is nice but I feel like it's way too expensive for how quick it fades. My favorite gourmand for lasting as well as scent and compliments is Juicy Couture Viva la Juicy Sucré. And sometimes just regular Viva la Juicy. Sucré smells like frosting but also pretty and men seem to go nuts for it. Also the Armani Si Passione gets a lot of compliments too. I also love Ariana Grande Sweet Like Candy Limited Edition which they claim is the same scent as the original in a different bottle but I swear the scent is different.
@@SweetNancy2704 La Nuit Tresor I have never smelled actually but I do think the original 1990s Tresor smells like baby wipes. 😂 Mon Paris is not my favorite by any means but I do think it's pleasant. I don't think it smells similar to La Vie est Belle though. To me Mon Paris has a young fun vibe because it smells fruity like berries. I know there is floral and patchouli in it as well but the floral isn't overpowering and smells updated. La Vie est Belle on the other hand to me is too powdery and sweet and not in a fruity way at all. I know it has a couple fruit notes but to my nose it's more vanilla, praline, fake sugary and tonka bean. Which I don't like on their own but I also don't think it mixes well with the "old" florals or with the patchouli also in it. I do like patchouli but only in a prominent intentional way. Like if I go for it I want a Narciso Rodriguez For Her or a Kat Von D Sinner. Something to give me an outright purposeful hippie vibe. Not trying to pick on Lancome though because I have liked some of their scents in the past and I absolutely love their new Idole. And I could be way off on my perception of the florals in La Vie est Belle smelling dated. A lot of people dislike Chanel No 5 for the reason of smelling dated but I don't think it does. I adore it and think it smells timeless and classic. In a way it reminds me of perfume I smelled as a small child so it makes me happy. That's what I think is so great about perfume. We all have different preferences and we all have different memories and since scent is so strongly tied to memory, 2 people could smell the same fragrance and pick up on the exact same notes yet one would love it and one would hate it based purely on good or bad memories. And to me that is so interesting.
I smelled La Vie est Belle the other day..um NO! it's just AWFUL!! i don't get any of the sweet notes in it at all! To me Bath and Body Works Into the Night Is pretty much the same..and i don't like it either..i just can't do all the patchuli. That's all i smell. YUCK!!! 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
I hate it on first spray but it becomes a really lovely vanilla after a few hours. Couldn’t pull the plug and buy it though because I can’t get on board with that weird opening.
@@OpinionatedScents I wouldn't wear Hypnotic Poison out but I do use it as a nighttime fragrance. I love and wear Poison Girl EDP. This "partnership" works for me!!
Thank you for constantly uploading during these crazy scary times. I need the distraction.
Stay strong!
La vie est belle does the best flankers I have tried the rose, eclat, and edp intense .They're all gorgeous😍
Great video!
BTW, BONBON is shaped like a candy wrapping because bonbon means candy in french...
Hah yes I did know this :)
You should do a video on the most comforting fragrances.
I’m honestly so happy and so grateful that every day when I open my subscription box I see your video!!

Oh my goodness! Whenever you describe a scent, it's as if I can eat it!
what! ive been on a major gourmand spree this week and searching everywhere for fresh videos and you give me this, now today. sorcery!
Haha awesome timing! 🥰

Hi Soki what other perfume could be similar to Alexander McQueen's-McQueen Perfume??
Jimmy choo illicit is also amazing..am a huge perfume lover and own alot! Thanks for your reviews! Your gorgeous!
Hello! McQueen is tuberose and jasmine where as illicit is honey and amber. For similar to McQueen maybe try Gucci bloom?
Niche, do niche...I found my no 1 in the niche: Hili by Widian (so gooood)
Good girl smelt fresh to me. Didn't strike me as gourmand
Hi soki :) what do you think of kenzo l'elixir? i think that is quite a nice gourmand perfume
Hmm yes it’s ok!
Has anyone tried the MONDE LE GOURMANDE ones ? They have a bunch of good value sets I wanna try! ESP interested in lait de coco (coconut milk) , Mais souffle (popcorn) , pistachio brûlée , and the chai spice one !
Idk if I got a bad bottle but I bought the Angel by Mugler and it stank; but everyone says it's good

Oh no!
@@SokiLondon yeah, can't figure out what note does that on me. Same with Chanel Mademoiselle.
Everyone says Jimmy Choo is sweet and edible. All I can smell is patchouli, my sense of smell is broken I guess 😄
LITERALLY! There is no sweet or edibleness at all.
More perfume videos soki!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

I really like Hugo boss the scent. What else might I like?
Have you tried the new (2019 release) Angel EDT? Its a fresher, fruitier version; much more wearable than the original.
Yes I agree !
La nuit Tresor is sexy, deep I love it
Whats the best light gourmand summer fragrance ??? Please help🙂
I like olympea legend as summer perfume. Its gourmand, kinda spicey but light ish.:)
Mira Heinonen Thank you , That’s totally what I’m looking for
Hmm I don’t think legend is light!
@@SokiLondon i mean light by appropriate for summer. I own that scent and use it at summer times. But its just my opinion 🤷♂️ (read "ish" at the end 😉)
Works ysl black opium be considered gourmand? That's my favorite!
Yeah is sweet with coffee
I love you video
Viktor en rolf bon bons
Would like chocolate one plz
done chocolate :) th-cam.com/video/pifeTOzR8-U/w-d-xo.html
Would you consider trying to talk about different perfumes? You seem to talk a lot about the same ones in every video. Just a suggestion :)

Jimmy Choo is soo not gourmand for me lmao
Most of these aren't even gourmand??

There are fragrances that are truer gourmands than these, most of these are not
1st lol.
Yay
Hey Soki, just wondering what is the difference between the 'eau de Parfum' and 'eau de toilette'? And which do you prefer??
