Fresh and Clean is my favorite type of fragrance as well. I work in health care so can get away with wearing these scents! They just make me feel so bright, energetic, classic and refreshed. Especially this time of year! Looking forward to Part Two!
Hi Maria!!! I’m with you! I work in a hospital also and find those types very easy to wear and Phil off. Also they are never very offensive (like you say). 😉❤️🥰
I grew up in St. Louis, my sister lives in south St. Louis. Love the fried ravioli! Will be looking up several of these, again filling up my online carts🤣. Precious little hedgehog🥰.
Versace Versense is awesome. Somehow a fresh(pun intended) take on the clean and fresh fragrance. You're absolutely right that there is very little bitterness in it. Bought it as a gift for my aunty. Absolutely loves it.
Yes please to the white t shirt video! Just stumbled upon your channel looking for fragrances for a sensitive nose and have already checked out several of your other videos. Thank you for putting together these calming and informative videos, Chris! If there's any interest, I'd love to see a "tea time" video with your favorite tea notes or fragrances that smell like a spa
Well hello there!!! Thank you for finding me! 🥰💕🙏🏻I’d love to do a “tea time” video and I’m all lined up to do a “spa video” this month. 😉💕👏🏻👏🏻Thank you again for taking the time to leave such nice feedback and comments. 😉
Great video! I love cheapies for fresh summer fragrances. That way I don’t feel guilty for spraying a good amount! My favorite affordable fresh scents are Green Tea and White Tea from Elizabeth Arden and L’Eau D’Issey from Issey Miyake. L’Eau D’Issey has peony in it like Nirvana White, which I have a sample of but haven’t gotten around to buying yet. I think peony is a good summer floral that doesn’t go too heavy. Love the hedgehog!!
And yes peony is a great floral. I just did a “Peony Week” over on IG and was surprised how many peony fragrances I own and really enjoy. It is a great summer floral. I’m glad everyone enjoyed Harry (he was originally Harriett ) until the vet told us It had a pee pee so we did a quick pivot and renamed him. 😁😁😆😳. My daughter was originally devastated because she wanted Harriett The Hedgehog but all is well now. 😂
I'm intrigued by the hedgehog!so many questions -how what why??? And fab perfume choices. Wearing Jeanne d'arthes verveine cedrat. Crazilycheap and just delicious for the summer. Xx
Oh Lord. The hedgehog was a result of cute hedgehogs on Instagram and a daughter who went out and bought one with her babysitting money. Didn’t have the heart to tell her to take it back (we have a no animal refund policy in our home. Once we take ownership….it’s for life) Eye yie yie. 🤦♀️😂😂🤣
Congratulations for the new addition to the family! He’s so cute! 🥰 I love freshies! I bought Eau des Jardins by Clarins last week. It’s all citruses and I can’t wait for warm weather to come back to wear it! It’s not long wearing but I can’t help smiling when I put it on. It’s a happy scent for me.
I would kill for a white T-shirt fragrance video from you! That is what I am obsessed with right now. Have you tried aerin amber musk? Just fell hard-core in love with it
Your hedgehog is absolutely adorable. I’m new to your channel so I don’t know the story behind him joining your family, but congratulations! Love your videos!
Hi Marian! Welcome!!👏🏻🙌 Thank you for supporting me and joining my channel! 🥰 The story with the hedgehog…….Instagram (take a look at the adorable hedgies over there) and when one of your children gets a drivers license and goes out and buys one. 🤦♀️🤦♀️💕🥰It’s been kind of rough for the kids these past two years so when my daughter walked in the door with Harry and bought him with her babysitting money (and was so excited)…..I didn’t have the heart to tell her to take him back. He’s so darn cute also. 😂🥰
Oh my gosh your hedgehog! He’s so adorable 🥰 Wow you mentioned some fantastic fragrances in this one 🤩 In fact I think I own 4 out of the first 6 you talked about ☺️ I agree, In2U doesn’t smell a whole lot like Santal complet to me either. (maybe slight similarities..) And even though I’m not really a fan of Nirvana White, I do own and love other Elizabeth & James fragrances like Bourbon and Black 🖤 I think I’d like those two Michael Kors perfumes you mentioned, I own the Sexy Blossom and it’s a cute scent, very springy 🌸
Hi Tammy! I think I finally own every one of the E&J perfumes and Rose is my least favorite. But someone should win an award for the bottle design! Black and Bourbon are also my favs! 👏🏻😉🙌💕
Hi Chris, really fun video❤❤, I'm all about fresh and clean, I went thru a phase when that was all that I used to wear! I definitely left that phase behind LOL but not 100%, I still love my laundry-squeaky clean perfumes. Looking beautiful as usual and your new addition to the family is pure cuteness overload 🥰 🥰
I love Versace freshies, they always last well too. I just finished Vanitas EDT, so I will try versense next if I happen to see it. Yes Veronica has that DKNY, cos I was tempted by it, it sounded beautiful 👌
@@ThePerfumeNest yes, I was kind of confused and I thought I'd imagined it! Do you have the EDT it the EDP? I only tried the EDT, people seem to prefer it, but I honestly can't imagine that it is that different, but I would love to know what you think if you've tried both 🙃
I finally found my "I smell the ocean" scent. Beachscape by Jennifer Aniston. Thank you for all your inexpensive choices. I'm still looking for my "fresh off the clothesline" scent.
Hii Chris!!! Soo 😊cheap fresh fragrances that you didn't talk about in that video that I currently use, Caudalie: Thé des Vignes, Roger & Gallet: Thé Vert, and the famous Elisabeth Arden : White Tea love them all💕💕! I agree with you on Trussardi Donna (that I purchased after I watched one of your videos 😂)it was a big 👍 for me!! A Girl in Capri I also an old time love ❤️ CKin2U is on the way I purchased it yesterday great price point not really in love with the bottle though ! Also...Cuteness overload 🥰🦔!!
Aw!!!! Sarah! Thank you for saying such nice things! 🥰🙏🏻Elizabeth Arden White Tea yes is awesome!!! You are right! The fed Vignes is new to me though! 👏🏻💕
@@ThePerfumeNest I don't know if you are familiar with the brand Caudalie in the US, here (in France) it's a pharmacy thing 😊 it's all about the theme of vines and grapes and beauty products based on that. The fragrance Thé des vignes is very good, I think you could like it 😊 (safe bet!)
Great video Chris, and your hair is super nice! I love freshies and one of my favs is Tous Gold, it's clean, slightly floral and performs very well in warm weather!
Hi Mary! I just checked both are available on FragranceNet with 30% off coupon. I think I can track down a 37% off coupon also. And the Donna I have is the EDP version (NOT EDT). 🥰
I really want to try more of agent provocateur, I struggled with the original to begin with, but actually used it up in the end, yet I had absolutely no desire to repurchase 🤣 I love fig so electric might be for me.
Aegean Sea Salt & Citrus is my top favorite! Nothing has topped this for me yet, but I'm intrigued by the Versace...I love fig notes and this one has a touch I believe.
Hello Chris, great lineup!!!! Some of my favorite freshies (not necessarily cheapies) are Romance by Ralph Lauren, Bohemian Lime by Goldfield&Banks, DK New York, Aqua Universalis by F Kurkidjan, Miracle by Lancome, Cristale by Chanel...I love them, especially this time of the year...My latest discovery in Brussels, in a grand perfumery called Senteurs D'Ailleur is Nuit de bakelite by Naomi Goodsir.I am telling you, this scent has stolen my heart and it is impossible for me to describe it. It has an insane projection and on me, it lasts more than 12 hours. I am sending you fresh lilac ice cream, all pinky, and violet, to be enjoyed at your heart's desire....Big hug and much love from sunny Transilvania (we just had one of those legendary storms that almost knocked me off my feet. Soaking wet...ready for coffee and cake....
Hi Cristina! Bohemian Lime is at the top of my wish list! AU you will see in an upcoming video….same with Miracle. But I need to try the new Naomi Goodsir you speak of. Sounds amazing! And lilac ice cream!? Yes and yes. 👏🏻💕😉🥰
So glad your video came up to my timeline! This recommendation is very useful to me, as I live in a tropical country yet at the same time I work all day in cold office-sometimes it’s tricky to choose a perfume to fit both. Ps: D&G Light Blue Intense is always my win-win solution
Thank you! Love to see you and your hedgehog is soo sweet! ❤️ Just watched your Coconut fragrances video and this one as well, you gave me some great ideas, thanks so much. 🌹 I am so sad when you suggest some gem and I know for sure I won't be able to find it here in Europe.🙄 Anyway, as for coconut frags I will definately try again EL Bronze Goddes, as I did like it in the past, but most likely will get the Terracota by Guerlain as I've rarely been unsatisfied with their perfumes. Hugs and Love from Bulgaria! 🤗❤️🌹
Hi Gloria!!🥰Which ones are hard to get in. Bulgaria? Bronze Goddess is such a delicate beauty. I just keep going back to it….but it needs help with body cream. 😉😂
And thank you for the kind words about my hedgie. 💕When my daughter walked into the house with him it was quite the surprise….but taking care of animals has been good for my kids so here we are. 🤦♀️😉🥰
@@ThePerfumeNest Thank you, well a few brands for example Elizabeth & James, D.S. & Durga, Simone Andriole I wasn't able to find in local online discounters, but I am keeping an eye on the new brands launched. Sometimes I am very surprised to see a new rare brand that I want to try out offered. Usually I order directly from the brand/house if the are EU based or having shipping location in the EU. (Because shipping and customs taxes from the US to EU for instance are pretty hefty.) So I will check again soon and let you know if I order directly or from discounter. 🤗🌹
@@ThePerfumeNest Great! Well, TBH I haven't been traveling abroad a lot these past years.😅 But on my next trip to Spain or France, you know what's comming - perfume splurge! ❤️💐
Oh. My. Gosh. Look at that sweet baby! I'm in love with Harry! He's so sweet!! I'm not a freshie kinda gal for the most part, but there are a few on this list that I have or have been curious about. I have the Nirvana dry shampoo which I enjoy quite a lot (but not often as it's been discontinued), and Light Blue (Intense) is also amongst my bottle babies although I don't wear it often. I'm so interested in the Agent Provocateur Electric - coming soon to a cart near ME! I love our time together! I'd watch a video about the whole white shirt aesthetic for sure! xo
White tea by Elizabeth Arden is a lovely cheapie, a little bit more here in Canada than the States, I love Versace Versense and A Girl in Capri was a lovely find for me and a blind buy and its super for the summer. I am ordering a back up bottle of Nirvana White cause its such a love for me.
They are cute but surprisingly high maintenance if you are a slight germaphobe…..I have to bathe him everyday and completely clean his area each day. Other than that….he’s adorable and my kids are totally smitten by him. Even my teenage son….it’s very cute. 💕🥰
I subscribe to all of the raving for Donna EDP Trussardi, i´ve just repurchased it recently because i´ve missed it (i´ve worn it a couple years ago and it was such a staple of contemporary charm & elegance). On a side recommendation, L´Imperatrice 3 by Dolce & Gabbana is such an invigorating fresh unique scent for Spring / Summer and one of the most long lasting perfumes i´ve ever owned (stunning for an EDT certainly), as far as to wake up the next day and still have notes of it throughout your hair.
I have the D&G Light Blue Sun and I love it for summer!!! I have the versace Versence too and that's another nice one for summer. Elizabeth Arden White Tea is another clean one that I love. Even my 11 year old likes the white tea and asked for it for her bday.
This will be fun! .. watching Part 1 & Part 2. I've not seen that Agent Provocateur ... might get that one! // OMG! Harry! ... oh, he's precious, Chris!!! 🤎💛🦔 Gentle hug, li'l guy. :) // I might get a couple of these ... the AP and the Lanvin. Can't spend much but ya know, hard not to get an affordable treat or two. // See ya, Harry & Chris. :):)
Another great video. Sorry for not dropping in on more comment sections-- I have not forsaken your channel, I've just been busy :). Also, I've been avoiding writing up my review of Kyse for you because-- I'm sorry to say-- I haven't anything really positive to say about the brand. I would LOVE to write a three paragraph long comment detailing my reflections and suggestions but I'm going to stop myself before I start. However, the Delizia del Marshmallow is one of the only surprising attempts Terri has succeeded with. It has a fantastic, mysterious way of morphing in strength as it develops on my skin. Usually fragrances start strong and then soften but this one is extraordinary; it starts off smelling very gentle, almost skin-scent soft and EXACTLY like a bag of puffy fresh marshmallows and as time goes on it gets stronger and stronger and turns into a treacle-thick vanilla syrup. A great, fun buy for someone who wants a sweet and lively vanilla-sugar gourmand. Thanks for suggesting it. I learned a great deal from my experience with Kyse and enjoyed trying to articulate my opinions and ultimate assessment and I have your wisdom and enthusiasm to thank for it. Always fun Chris, thank you! xo
Hello again! Well….remember when I said I didn’t think Kyse fragrances were for you? 😂😂😂😂😂😂 but I love that you tried them anyways and got out of your comfort zone to sample. 😉❤️
I don’t have a lot of freshies and I don’t even know why🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️. Mine are Bella Blanc, Donna, Mandarin Bassilic, Acqua Cologne Blood Orange & Basil and White Tea Mandarine Blossom😍😍. Great video as always👌👌. Stay gorgeous🥰🥰. '
The sound effects when you were naming off the wrong notes on versense made me laugh out loud😂 In your defense I have that fragrance and was looking at the notes and I don’t smell half of them lol.. I swear to me I get vetiver (nope), lime (nope) and woods. Maybe there are ghost notes!?
My freshies are already around, 4711 Aqua Colonia lemon and ginger, lime and nutmeg, Chanel Chance eau fresh, L'artisan perfumeur Batucada, SL Nuit de Cellophane and Sporty Citrus MK.
This is not my wheelhouse but you know I wouldn’t miss one of your videos….the hedgehog made it all worth it😂🥰 There is one affordable freshie I enjoy..Miami Glow by Jlo
@@ThePerfumeNest I think it was the amber and the cedar, I'm really not sure... It also made me think of smoker breath covered up with gum. I loved the opening though, I just wish it stayed like that. I know so many people love it and I wish I could appreciate it.
Thanks for the video. So I’m on a hunt and am challenged with my particular (picky) taste with freahies. I like aquatic, beachy/sun screen fragrances. Beach walk is one of my faves. I’m trying to expand my freshies because I’m not always feeling smelling like sunscreen lol. However here’s the challenge- I don’t like smelling soapy, floral or citrus. All are abundant in frehshies. I’m ok with laundry/clean cotton. Wood, sage and sea salt by Jo Malone and Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden are the freshies that sit well with me . Do you know of any other freshies that are not floral, soapy, citrusy? I’d love to know more than jus the two above.
Hiya Chris! If you haven’t tried Michael Kors White, I totally recommend it! It smells so beautiful, clean and fresh! Perfect white tshirt contender!! PS Gimme sweet lil’ Harry!! I wanna smooch him!
Ah! Ok then! I’m on the look out!!🙌❤️lol! I want to smooch him also! (I laughed out loud when I read that)….. then my brain tells me maybe just cuddling is better! 😂😂
I’m very interested in the Aegean salt and citrus. The comparisons I’ve read are all to perfumes I already like (deauville, Cristalle) what was your experience with performance?
Yes!!! He looks so quiet and cute on the video (he is)….but yes he’s a master escape artist also! 😂😂🔸😂💕❤️❤️I finally found a home that works and he can’t escape from. You know those plastic pools for kids (not inflatable). He has his own little city in a plastic pool! 🤦♀️🤣🤣🥰He cannot climb up the hard plastic side. 🙏🏻
@@ThePerfumeNest that's the issue, no testers. It's always a blind purchase in tkmaxx, hence I have to be pretty sure I will love it before I will crack!
I just bought my first light blue a few months ago, I'm still not sure, maybe I chose the wrong one? It reminds me of dissolvable asprin, I got love is love... Maybe I should have got the intense?
@@ThePerfumeNest I keep on trying it but I think it's headed for a declutter. I can't even bring myself to review it at the moment, it has disappointed me that much 😂 it just makes me think of being ill as a child at the moment, hopefully that will change when it gets warmer here. 😊
@@ThePerfumeNest I tried SJP Lovely, its just ok, not herbal enough. Tried Guerlain Limon verde, hated it. I like Trussardi Donna but want a lavender scent for summer.
