Oh it’s so good!
Hi guys! I have another beauty video today.
I’m going to do a perfume collection.
Smells really trigger memories and things you maybe had forgotten about and I love that
my perfume collection is kind of a way to remember different points in my life,
like a really specific day or just a period of time.
So here we go.
This is the newest addition to my perfume collection.
It’s the REPLICA Beach Walk scent. This is a really cool idea.
It says, “Reproduction of familiar scents and moments of varying locations and periods.”
So it kind of embodies the whole idea of this scents memory video, actually, and this smells
just like walking on a beach.
I don’t know how they got the beach in a bottle but they did.
This is by REPLICA. It came as a gift set with the Beach Walk perfume
and this is the other scent that I wanted.
It’s called Lazy Sunday Morning and it does. It smells like you’re wearing your slippers,
reading the newspaper with a cup of coffee.
It’s fantastic.
This perfume is called Incredible by Victoria’s Secret and it’s the one I have probably
the most specific memory for.
I bought this at the airport in Sydney, Australia where I used to live.
I was doing grad school there and I was flying from Sydney to my new home in Melbourne.
I was going to work at a university in Melbourne and I’d just finished my last paper for
grad school and I felt so good and I eyed this gigantic stand at the Victoria’s Secret
store that said, “incredible” and it sounds so corny but that is how I felt.
I felt so freaking incredible to be finished and to be, like, moving to a new place and
just so excited and I was like, “You know what? This is perfect. I’m just going to
treat myself and buy this perfume. I feel incredible. It sums it up.”
And so it was actually great because now every time I even see this bottle, let alone smell it,
I think of that exact moment in time and how good that felt and I love it.
I’m so glad I just did it.
This is by Balenciaga. It’s the Florabotanica scent. I love the packaging on this
and this has kind of a sadder memory.
I was having a really, really horrible time…just feeling really down and so I decided to try
some retail therapy and see if that would work and this helped.
I went out - I didn’t need a new perfume. No one needs perfume.
I just wanted, like, something that would make me feel happy and so I went into a Sephora store,
smelled everything, and this has a really comforting smell.
Maybe to me it feels like comfort now because of how I was feeling when I bought it.
I think it’s a good reminder to treat yourself and that sometimes retail therapy helps.
This perfume is by far the biggest in terms of height in my collection.
It’s the Marc Jacobs Lola.
Mmm. Spray a litte bit.
I’m gonna smell really good after this video if I keep doing that.
My Mom’s side of the family their background is Icelandic and so I’m part of the Icelandic-Canadian Club
and, yeah, I got this at a silent auction there.
These I’ll show you together because they’re by the same brand, Korres, and I bought them
on the same trip to Greece.
This is White Tea Bergamot Freesia and Paeonia Vanilla Amber Pear.
This smells like summer to me and this smells like winter.
There’s no other way to describe it.
This is an oldie but a goodie for me.
This is the YSL perfume. I think it’s just called YSL.
My Mom got this for me for Christmas and it always makes me think of my Mom.
This is by D Squared.
It’s called She Wood.
Insert obvious jokes here.
And I really liked the “male” versions of these perfumes.
To me, it smells like I’m in a rainforest on the west coast or something.
This is Juicy Couture which I think a lot of people will have and know. This mostly
makes me think of my sister because she introduced me to this perfume so I’ll always love it.
Jo Malone makes absolutely amazing fragrances.
This is the one that I have called Earl Grey and Cucumber cologne.
I bought this in York in the UK when I was there a couple of summers ago.
It made me think of, like, a high tea and being in York it seemed appropriate so this
is the one I ended up with and it always makes me think of that trip.
This one I got as a birthday gift from my friends Laura and Jeremy when they were living in Germany.
I used to live in Germany too so it makes me think of that experience as well.
It’s called Echt Kölnisch Wasser.
It’s just…it’s lovely to put it on.
This is one of my all time favourites and definitely a staple. I wear this one a lot.
It’s by Chloé. This was a Christmas gift from my boyfriend so it makes me think of
that really nice surprise. ‘Cause I think he’d seen me eyeing it a bunch of times
in a shop and then surprised me with it for Christmas.
This is a really fun one because I got it on a trip to France at the actual factory
where they make perfumes and this is a really old parfumerie apparently - Fragonard -
and so we did a tour of the factory.
So I always think of the factory and the way it’s made and into the streets they pump
perfume and beautiful smelling things to make you wanna buy things and it definitely worked
because I walked away with this.
This is one of my favourite perfumes. It’s called Stella and that is my niece’s name
so it makes me think of my beautiful niece and how lovely she is.
If I’m going somewhere special then this is the first thing that I want to wear.
This one is all gone. In fact, this should probably be in an empties video but it’s
so good that I wanted to include it.
It’s by Diptyque, which is another of my favourite brands for fragrance, and it’s Eau Duelle.
My boyfriend bought this for me on kind of a whim when we were on a trip to Chicago
so it always makes me think of spontaneity.
That’s my perfume collection or scents memory.
