I love Illusione by Bottega Veneta. It's a fresh green white floral and when i smell it I imagine a very wealhy woman in white dress at a private pool in the south of France. 🥰🥰🥰
I wear Eau Vitaminee from Biotherm I get so many compliments on it. It's very inexpensive & I always get compliments on it. I've been wearing it in summer months for years. It's very lemony, citrusy - you either love it or hate it. But for a very inexpensive perfume it is very unique. I don't know if you can get it in the US.
Zen..I love it so much. I have also been loving Hermès Eau des Merveilles Bleue this summer . It has that cool patchouli vibe like Zen but with a salty mineral smell. It feels very classy and smells great on a man also.
I have the “Bleue” flanker. “L’ombre” came out recently, I haven’t tried that one yet. I really would love to though, looks like it has an incense note.
You are so right about CKin2U👌 I blind bought it super cheap, a ginormous size bottle, and I absolutely love it in hot weather 😍 it’s my go to fresh citrusy scent
Hi Chris! Just now sitting down to watch your video. Real quick, here’s what I’ve been reaching for in the hot humid weather: 1) Do Son EDT - works really well in hot weather, especially when it’s super humid. 2) Gypsy Water - good for heat, but not SUPER high heat...when it’s 90+ the vanilla base can get cloying. 3) Chanel No 5 Eau Premier - I reach for this one in the evenings when it’s a tad cooler. A bonus is that even my perfume hating MIL likes Do Son and Gypsy Water, so I usually wear one of those when I know I am going to be around her. I recently ran through a sample of Chanel Paris-Biarritz and I absolutely adored the scent, but it hardly lasted an hour on me. If it lasted longer I would buy a full bottle but I just don’t know...🤷🏻♀️
Hi Amy!!! You’ve got some great ones!!! Do Son huh?? In high heat? Awesome! Gypsy’s Water I can’t get 30 minutes on me but it’s lovely! I adore Chanel Au premier….it’s a love. And I hear you about Biarritz. It’s fleeting. I’m glad you found some good ones!!!!!
Ange ou Démon Le Secret was a staple in my collection way before I became a fragaddict in 2019. 😅 It wears really nice at the office and I loved having drift of it when I moved… I own a few of these and they are really nice! 👌🏻
Hi Julie! I can’t believe I let Le Secret be “a secret” in my closet for so long! I bought it last year I’m the colder months and it sat in the back of my shelves! So glad I rediscovered it and it’s a great office scent! I’ll do an office scent video and it will for sure be in it!!! 😄❤️thanks for stopping by!
Love Versense, Un Jardin Sur La Lagune, Biarritz, L’Imperatrice 3, Dylan Blue, Vanilla Vibes, Hibiscus Palm, Virgin Island Water, Botega Veneta, Le Chasse Aux Papillons
It has a youthfulness about it, but it is good in the heat. I was wondering if you have smelled Angel Nova and some of the Mugler releases? I have seen this one popping up lately and was curious if you think it is for the very young.
Excellent selection, Chis! I love many of them and some of them are new to me! I can't send you any virtual flowers this time because last night we had a terrible storm and my garden is to the ground (;....However, I am sending you a delicious piece of anniversary cake ( my husband and me celebrated 39 years of marriage!). And a big hug from hot hot hot Transilvania!
Wow!!! Congrats and cake is always welcome in my tummy!!! The weather has been crazy….we typically have hot summers here but it’s been so mild!!!! Yesterday high was 80! I haven’t been able to swim laps in my pool because it’s been cool and rainy. Feel free to send the hot over my way……
Such a great list, I already enjoy some of the ones you mentioned on your list and I have to agree they are great! L’imperatrice, ckin2U and TF soleil blanc 😍 I really want to get Musk Therapy as well
What a fun lineup for these crazy hot days we are going through! Great choices. 💖💖💖 I can't believe that one order STILLLL hasn't arrived! What is taking so long? Ugh. 😉😉😉
You have such a wide variety of scents in your collection! I would love to see how/where you store all of them!! Currently wearing Kayali Utopia Vanilla Coco:)
Hi there!!!! Thank you for stopping by! My storage situation is not good….I’m overflowing in all directions but a good friend is going to build me a storage system to store everything….than I can do a reveal. 🥰
Chris, I picked up D&G L'impertrice, and CK In2u, love them, beautiful cheapies! I found another one by Clean that I'm loving, Sweetgrass It's warming up here in Phoenix and went back to your 2022 recommendations, thank you❤❤❤💐
I agree, CK in2u doesn’t smell like Santal complet. I love my bottle of CK in2u, it’s a lemony, unisex, woody dream come true to me!! lol and as you know, I’m not a fan of Santal complet because on my skin, it smells mostly like Christmas spices, cinnamon and cloves. Although, I have an update for you! If I smell it directly from the atomizer of my sample, I can actually smell what you are describing! But as soon as I spray it on my skin? cloves. Lol what’s a girl to do? 🤷🏻♀️ And although those two don’t really smell alike, I can see how they do have the same vibe 😌
My summer favourites are Pure Musk For her NR, Escale a portofino C. Dior, Blue Ralph Lauren and L' Imperatrice 3. I also recently got Bal D' artifique byredo.
Hi there!!! I have all of those except Escale A Portofino! I’m a big fan of Christian Dior so I need to sniff that. Bal D’ Afrique is a special one also. 😉❤️thanks for stopping by! 😉
Ohh yes the D&G leemperatice? I really need to grab a bottle of that ! Shine also sounds lovely and fresh . The MK does sound lovely with that mango note and Mango body butter is one of my favourite from body shop Great selection Hugs 💞💞💞💞
Hi Frances! Yes Imperatrice has been around for a while but I still enjoy it in the middle of the summer and it’s very affordable! Same goes for that Michael Kors fragrance….which I got for under 20$. 😄👍🏻❤️
@@HappinessSparkles also I got that Agent provocateur Electric for LESS than 20$!!! It’s a big bottle. But you have to like citruses and a green fig. 😉❤️
Oh gosh since you like the Bbw lotions, you need to get your nose on their new fall bodycare. They made their pumpkin pecan waffle scent into a mist, cream and shower gel. It smells completely like the candle!!! Buuuut you really will smell like a waffle lol… Which I’ll be okay with once we have another colder day here in the northeast Love your picks! Thanks for sharing!
For boiling hot days I would not wear anything sweat, cloying or creamy feeling. 😂 I would choose minty, aquatic, citrusy scents to cut through the heat. Sailing Day from MM Replica line for marine / aquatic scent , Nectar from Commodify for citrusy scent, and Chakai from Ritual for a really refreshing tea scent.
@@jenniferbyers1375 I bought the Henry Rose discovery set because of you! I have like 20 discovery sets….but I’ll do a full discussion of them soon! Thanks for the push! 💕❤️🥰
@@ThePerfumeNest ah hahaha I am excited to hear what you think ! But also if you hate them I wouldn’t be offended either 😂 I recently bought discovery sets for almost the entire lines for Atelier cologne, Le Labo and Commodity. One new scent each day - so exciting 😜
OMGosh what you said about Sydney Rock Pool is exactly what I said to a friend about Radiant Nectar! Baking in the sea, sun and sand all day with suntan lotion and perfume baking on the skin and then still clean enough to run back down to the beach bonfire that night. 🤣 And I am finding that I LOVE LOVE a salty sea note so I can't wait to check this out!
Sydney Rock Pool sounds great and right up my alley. I bought Squid by Zoologist last year and it's really piqued my interest in interesting salty and aqua fragrances. I hadn't realised there were so genres! I'm Pisces and loved your recent video 🐙🌊
Hi Kathy! Thank you!! Well you may just love it….as long as you like musk also……salty aquatic minerally and musky. The dry down is salty musk. Happy to send you a decant. Send me your address to my gmail. Ok? 🥰not bling buy safe.
Thank you! 😘There are many lovely Aqua Allegorias….but Limon Verde is so refreshing and a good price if you can get it at retailers. ❤️💕thanks for stopping by!!!!
Ooo, amazing list! I’m super intrigued by Eau du Yuzu, I will definitely be picking up a sample. Absolutely love Eau du Soleil Blanc and Zen (my beloved grandmother’s name was Zen, so I probably would have loved this regardless of the fragrance ❤️). I’ve been loving Guerlain Herba Fresca, Guerlain L’Homme Ideal, Jo Malone Grapefruit and BDK Pas Ce Soir (I usually stay away from super sweet fragrances in high heat, but somehow I love this one even more as it warms up on my skin). 🥰
Hi Chris! Loved these choices!! It is HOT in Utah, it’s dry heat which is nice but we’ve hit over 100 degrees multiple times so far, it’s been brutal and a bit scary!!!
Hi Christina!!! Yes…I see the West coast has been getting brutalized with hot weather! It’s all but passed us over! And I need sustained hot weather over summer to get me ready to go into the longer colder months here.
Wonderful line-up Chris, it came right on time. I'm so happy to pull out my EDT's. I'm living in Mon Guerlain, Nomade, Mandorla di Sicilia and all of my fresh Hermes bottle's.
I just spritzed my Hermès Voyage last night! And I don’t think I’ve tried that Acquaint du Parma….but they are all good!!!! Nomade…..wonderful! Mon Guerlain! Yes!
@@ThePerfumeNest I have a few bottles coming down the pipe (I kinda went ham for my birthday month). Once they all get here I'll send you a list just in case there's something you wanted to try. Have you checked out Aurafragrances.... They're based out of Houston and boy do they have some gems at great mind blowing prices (look at price for Pacific Lime) . I'm checking the new arrivals all the time.
@@Sammiein hi Sammie!!! Happy Birthday!!!!! I have never heard of Aurafragrances but you bet your bippy I’ll be checking them out!!!! Thank you dear! 🥰💕
I love KAYALI citrus for the extreme heat but it just doesn’t last ,I also love a real cheapie ( but discontinued) Celine Dion sensational ,I have a back up bottle and don’t even know how many I went through over the last few years ,it smells like a fruity shower gell
I remember seeing you talk about your beloved Celine Dion! I love my cheapies! It’s not easy to make a really good fragrance cheaply so when you find one….it’s wonderful! 👏🏻😄
Hi Chris! I know this is an old video, but I had to pop in. I love seeing what the auto generator names the sections and on the one for L'imperatrice, they named it "La Emperor Cheese" lolol Gotta love technology! Anyway, I loved this video, because what you *want to wear* in the hot weather and what *works well* in the hot weather are two different things! My hot weather winners are L'imperatrice, Dolce Shine, Tocca Stella, Clean Reserve Skin, Escada Santorini Sunrise and Terra di Gioia. None of them last very long on my skin but they're also not overwhelming in the boiling sun. I have my share of tiare flower scents, coconut, etc. but sometimes they are too... *thick?* I don't know how to put it, but you know what I mean. Anyway, thanks for another great one!
@@ThePerfumeNest yes😂 I even wear it to the gym...I get drenched in my sweat and this still feels ok, I might be weird tho...🤣I’m excited to try your recommendations, thank you for the amazing content always
Love your collection and recommendations! - & can I just mention your shoulders & arms because wow, they're so toned and beautiful!💪🏽💛 My " summery, fresh, flowery & fruity" collection is vast.. and slightly more eclectic and old school. (I'm a young 55!) I wear what I'm in the mood for and it's often ever-changing.. Currently the nice weather in Southern California has me reaching for Clarins Dynamisante, Lancome O de Lancôme, Guerlain/ Jardins de Bagatelle, Cristalle by Chanel, Deci Dela by Nina Ricci... all very green, crisp, flowery, fruity etc.. that's just to name a few.. I could go on but I'll stop - Love your channel 😘
@@ThePerfumeNest You're so cute😘 lol, only you think they're cringe worthy... I *have* seen several of your newer ones but scrolling through, I wanted to hear your take on hot weather scents and it didn't disappoint 🌸🌿💛
Awesome recommendations as usual🙏🙏🙏. I’m updating my S&S wish list and content like this comes in handy. I have seen some of these fragrances in your other videos so I know they are full proof👌👌👌. Is the Versace one an edt or edp, I don’t know if you mentioned that? Keep up the good work, truly appreciated🙏🙏🙏.
Hi Pinkie!!! Thanks for stopping by!!!!! Versence is so so so likable!!!! If there was a blind buy safe fragrance….this would be it as long as you like citrusy fresh and clean fragrances. It’s and EDT. 🥰💕I got mine for under 50$ here….
Oooohhh! My kind of scents because of the country I live in 🇵🇭 I love Chanel Biarritz too! Reminds me of my baby cologne Nenuco with an elegant touch but I have not bought it because it is too expensive for its performance. Still in my wishlist thou. Carner Barcelona Bo-bo also a nice citrus in the same vibe. I so love your lotion recommendations. I can so relate and BBW lotions are always for the win! 😊 thank you for making great videos 😍❤️
Aw!!! Baby Cologne?!!!! How sweet and if it smelled like Biarritz….then it must have been amazing!!!! I have the small bottle 1.7 oz I got on Chanel website for 80$. Yes it’s expensive for the light performance but darn! It smells good when you can still smell it. Performance poor. Finally a fragrance I can really overspray! 😂thank you dear for stopping by!!! Hugs, Chris. 🥰❤️
@@ThePerfumeNest yeah so agree! Have you checked fragrancex? They have it for so much less. Thanks Chris stay lovely 😍 the baby cologne I still have and use reminiscent to this is NENUCO 😉
Anyhoo I own quite a few of these so I’m going to pull them out. With D&G number 3, I don’t love it on me, it reminds me of a nightclub bathroom in Vegas, because a bathroom I went in once had all the perfumes sitting out and an attendant there offering you a hand towel and a perfume spritz. BUT I’ve had my girlfriends try it and every single one of them LOVE it
Hi Chris !!! I live in Florida so I wear anything at any time...lol...no choice !!! I have been wanting that AP Electric....I guess I will pull the trigger on this !! D&G Light Blue Intense is great. That Zen sounds so good....but I do not care for the vintage original Zen...???... I just received the CKN2U....what a surprise !! LOVE this one!! CKN2U is very well made and is so underrated,IMO. I have not smelled L'Imperatice...but it has been on my want list. Off topic, but have you ever tried any ETRO fragrances..??? I have been going nuts for ETRO...I just got 4 of their fragrances...and I love them all.....ETRA, New Traditions, Gomma and Greene Street. They are "my type" of scents for sure. Good quality too. Wishing you a great week/weekend. xoxo Thanks for all you do on your great channel !!
Hi John!!! I get such a kick when you stop by!!! We have such similar tastes and you always introduce me to something I’ve overlooked in the past!!!! I love it!!! Thanks again …😉👏🏻❤️
Hi my lovely summerly scentsister ☀️😍 It has been 86 Fahrenheit here today 🥵😅 (very unusual in DK) I have had Ingenue Cousin Flora from Penhaligons and it has been really good also longevity 👍💖
Love this vid, I have ckn2u as well and you right, I don’t think it smells anything like santal complet. LOL. Question have you ever smelled Arielle shoshana saturday? Really interested in that one and can’t find many reviews of it, just wondering if you had smelled it?
Hi Melissa!! Lol! I’m glad it’s not only my nose that doesn’t get that comparison at all! 🥰I haven’t even heard of Arielle Shoshona Saturday…but now it’s on my radar. Let’s see what I can find…..🥰Thanks for stopping by!! ❤️
Hi!Wow you have very toned arms 😍😍😍😍beautiful, love it.how often do you work out? Do you take some supliments? I work out 4 times a week but i don't know if is enough.
Hi Magdelina! Thank you so much! Well….I go to OTF which strongly emphasizes strength training and I pick classes at my gym (Lifetime Fitness) that focuses on strength training. (Barbell class) I am a lazy strength trainer so I go to classes where I know someone is going to force me to do it and it’s fun when there are lots of ppl around in the class doing the same. It’s not boring. Once you hit 30 like me (um err…..ahem……cough……cough…….my nose just grew 5 inches) unfortunately muscle goes bye bye so you have to work at it. 🤣🤣😩 thanks for stopping bye!! Big hug, Chris. 🥰💕
I don’t take supplements….but I do consume a lot of protein, esp after a workout….eggs are like nature’s perfect food. Eggs and salmon. I also consume bison and elk (free range and responsibly sourced) chicken and turkey because they are high in protein. That’s when I’m good. When I’m bad, I get home from a workout and have a tall glass of cold beer, chips and dips!!! I try and be good more than I’m bad…..but we’re all human. 🥰😉😘
@@ThePerfumeNest 😆😁 i do the same, but it's ok we all need cheat moments from time to time.you look amazing! Thank you for your answer, great review i absolutely love Soleil Blanc 😍😘😘😘
You are beautiful lady, and I love your content. please don’t take offence, I think you would look at least 10 years younger without a tan and strong make up.
