I want to smell basic
i really don't care anymore
about all of these crazy
scents that are coming out
i just wanna smell nice and i
wanna smell pretty
and i don't think there's
anything wrong with that
i have been made fun of
before for having like
a basic taste in fragrance
and i really just don't care
i like smelling nice
i'm sorry that i don't want
every fragrance to have
some freaky
deaky note that makes it go
from like a 10 to a 3
i don't want it you can have it
you keep it i like smelling
basic okay
i personally think i have quite
a nice
varied collection but some
people might say my
collection is boring
and that's fine ha ha
i wanna talk to you guys
about some of the fragrances
that people consider basic
and why i love them vanilla
28
i think this is one of the best
vanillas ever made
it's gorgeous and it's not like
a thick syrupy
dense vanilla it's like a boozy
seductive
there's like patchouli in this
it's like a grown up
sophisticated vanilla
but it still has this really nice
sugary sweetness to it as well
and it's stunning i love it
valentine's donna born in
roma
this is vanilla jasmine
little bit blackcurrant i think
and it is just like the epitome
of a fruity
floral fragrance something
that isinoffensive
really easy to wear and
everyone seems to like
and you know what these
kind of fragrances are
the ones that pull in those
compliments and don't annoy people around you
so that's part of the reason
i don't want to be annoying
them with my scent
i probably already do this is
Athemias from Parfums de
Marly
and when this came out
people were losing their
minds saying that it smells
like prada paradox
i had prada paradox i really
liked it
but there was something a
little bit sharp in it
and i always wished it was
slightly creamier
and then this came along and
is it revolutionary no
do i love it yes
it's creamy's sweet
there's orange blossom it's
very floral and girly and lasts
forever
i love this fragrance
and it's one of the best
orange blossoms
i've smelt kylie cosmic now
this is basic to its core
and i love it for that it's got
peony
there's amber there's blood
orange
it's a bit vanillary it's just
pretty
that's the best way to describe it
and it's a really nice one for
layering too
and then lastly roses vanille
from mancera
people love to say that this is sharp
it's cloying i don't know
i really love it i think this is
one of the best rose vanilla
combos out there
it's very simple
and if you're a rose lover and
you want something that is
kind of pretty soft
sweet i would go for roses
vanille

so much
