Of COURSE I forgot some! Somehow I ended up with two lists... anyway I'll do an update in the New Year. What is on YOUR wishlist - comment below! Please do Like & Subscribe if you care to! C xx

I would love to see videos comparing perfumes in your wardrobe to one another, i.e. I'm not just interested in low cost alternatives to high end fragrances. I think comparing a group of similar fragrances is actually a great way to talk about scents and what sets them apart. Similar to your comment about Rose de Jamal, I'm now worried about having more rose-forward scents than I can wear, and I think seeing your approach to comparing the scents in your wardrobe (rose or otherwise) would help me think about how to compare mine.

Love Musc de Sables! Absolutely swoon worthy.

[fluctuatnecmergitur]

Omg, I cannot believe your no buy year is almost over, time really does fly! I am a bit uninspired at the moment, maybe because I bought many fragrances this year on an impulse and sold or swapped a good amount of them after a short period of time. This leaves me with a bittersweet taste in my mouth, I was able to get my money back (or new perfumes that are better to me), but I'd love to stop for a bit nonetheless and enjoy what I have. My current collection is made of about 36-37 fragrances plus some 10 ml bottles/decants, but I already feel overwhelmed sometimes. I don't have a real wishlist, now that I think about it, maybe just Belle de Grasse from Fragonard that is a wonderful mimosa (I love mimosa flowers!) and also quite affordable thankfully.

[ThePerfumeNest]

Monday hair! Love Monday hair. I laughed at your pants comment. If I had a dime every time I was wearing sweat pants or pajama bottoms filming a video! 😂

[gail]

I have enjoyed all your updates throughout the year with your no buy. Now the year is almost at an end, you can enjoy the ride of coasting to the 31st December ……

[ThePerfumeNest]

Hi Cherie! I’m taking a quick break so I don’t forget my thoughts….😉ok….
-I have a soft spot for Initio also. I think you would like Paragon. In fact I just wore it (lightly) to a Pilates class. It’s very calming and contemplative. I bought Psychedelic Love because of you and I adore it.
-Soleil Passion will be too sweet and fruity /musky for you. I enjoy it but it be shocked if it’s a “Cherie” perfume. 🥰
-You will not enjoy Babycat. The vanilla will be too sweet even though you probably will enjoy the dry leather in there.
-Liis Bo I think you will really like because the vanilla is not sweet at all…it has a gorgeous woodiness and I can’t remember if you like incense but the frankincense is gorgeous. They have a lovely discovery set and there are a few others in the set you might enjoy as well.
-I ADoRE Misfit. I need to wear it in the warmer months….why I’ve been only wearing in the cold I’m not sure. 😉……ok. Back to the video ….😍

You can buy the Amouage Attars in a sample set. It was my purchase for my Christmas splurge this year. They cost $200 USD. I got $50 off for Black Friday. Each one is tiny but you literally only need one dab. My favorite is the rose attar. This year was a major slow down on purchases for me. Loved your journey this year! Don’t go too crazy when the clock strikes midnight! 😂

[madeleineveganperfumegirl]

I really enjoyed this, thank you! I fear I have a very, very long wishlist but am really trying to avoid buying perfumes which are similar to ones I already have and would definitely enjoy some of those kinds of comparison videos from you to help keep me on track with that! x

[penelopepalm]

Your no buy has been so inspiring and I want to do it myself. I am at the point where I have at least 40 samples that I haven’t even tried. And I think I could really pause for a long time and be happy using what I have.

I’m finding it so hard to keep myself from getting just one more because the sale is good, or the frags are discontinued or limited edition and I don’t want to miss out. I’ve unsubbed from most influencers but I still want to watch and it feeds the urge for another fragrance. Ledda is a good example. Argh! I am out of control.

[Tina-wiwe]

Hi Cherie. Top top on my wish list for bottles is lavender extreme and Mirabae. I want to try Les Absraits, papillon and trnp. There's so much out there! I'm quite content. Your no buy has been awesome. I love how you've created content without buying more bottles. Brilliant 🧚‍♀️

[karencarissimo]

I adore Apollonia. It smells so beautiful and cocooning on foggy days in San Francisco. Love your channel. You have exquisite taste!

[susansims]

Tested Initio paragon, and loved it, on my list for 2023.

[dcjimr]

Cherie, I think you will like Architect's Club...I don't find it terribly sweet. Congrats on a whole year of no-buy! I can honestly say that there is not a lot at the moment that I'd like to try, although I would like to get samples of Eugen's fragrances. Have a great weekend!

[Scentsem]

Dusita is one of my favorite houses. You inspired me to put on Melodie de L’amour this morning (I have a travel spray and hope to own a FB one day). I also have Moonlight in Chiangmai and Issara (my personal favorite). They just came out with a new fragrance. It took everything in me not to blind buy it in order to get the free Christmas box…like you, I’m trying to practice restraint. It’s difficult!

[OlfactiveStories]

I also have Maitre parfumeur et gantier on my to try list. Unfortunately I didn't have time to pass by their boutique last time I went to Paris.
And yes, go to the Guerlain boutique on Champs Elysées if you can. Visiting the boutique definitely worth it ! I was lucky enough to get a tour of it at the L'art et la matière relaunch party and I loved it 😍

[justanotherfraghead]

Great video…I’m going on a no-buy as Dec 1 and I’m taking inspiration from you 🙌🏽 Happy to send you a decant of Babycat if you’d like to try! 😊

[maylingboogaard]

Hi Cherie! I have worn Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier for many years, many many moons ago. Sadly they are no longer available in the Netherlands. I loved Eau du Gantier (a light fruity floral, fresh, not cloying) and Or des Indes. The latter one is soft, sweet, woody. If I remember correctly it doesn’f contain flowers, interestingly. You might enjoy Or des Indes as you enjoy amber/vanilla notes.

[lizseville]

Maitre Parfumer et Gantier do wonderful Ambres of which the best known is Ambre Precieux which is a gorgeous dry Ambre yet not so far from an Andy Tauer.

[NT-lgvi]

I just happened to have Liis Bo on! It’s just a sample I had. My note from the first time trying it months ago was that it was a warm, slightly sweet vanilla. This time i got a lot of sandalwood - like the type I don’t enjoy - the ones that can go sour. So who knows!
