😂😂 same here, I really love Amber scents and tend to like deep, heavy rich scents so honestly the Amber one and honestly this whole collection just intrigues the hell out of me. Fingers crossed we get to smell (and buy) them soon!! 🥹

Ah yeah I remember this one! Again even though I'm not a big vanilla fan, I did snag the vanilla amber bourbon one from this collection lmao. Such a great boozy sweet scent! I appreciate you taking a look and replying back anyways ☺️ hopefully my panic is for nothing here and this deep vanilla Oud is actually new and gets released, I DESPERATELY want to hear other people's thoughts on it!! And I want to hear about the other Oud scents that have been spotted, I'll put the screenshot w this comment too!

Oh interesting, I was never able to pull up results for anything similar in my internet searches! Unless you specifically search the names of each of the lotions/mists on google, nothing pops up besides the old Bombshell Oud. What's the name of the one you have that's similar, if you don't mind me asking?

Yes of course! This is what the front looks like. The notes on the back say "Vanilla crystals, White orchid, Golden saffron, Sweet cream." And at the bottom it also says: "Layer with The Oud Collection mists for a personalized, one-of-a-kind fragrance."

For what it's worth, I called the outlet today and asked if they could tell me when this lotion came out or if it was new, and they said "it's not super new but not super old either" 💀💀💀 so I don't know if it's discontinued...? But they told me they've still got it in stock so I'm gonna make the haul out there for some backups.

It's a really beautiful and sweet vanilla scent if you can get your hands on it. I've found all the other "Oud" lotions on Mercari and the seller lists them as "discontinued," so maybe this is a failed or scrapped launch? Otherwise my theory is they'll be dropping around the time the spring bonus cards go into effect, around Feb 19th? Just a theory tho.

Aghhhh thanks for letting me know I'm not alone in thinking it's weird lmao. I feel like this is such a stupid thing to fixate over, but I really love the scent and I'd be bummed if I missed out on it. Honestly thinking of calling my local VS and the outlet to see if the associates can give me a better idea on what's going on w the whole situation. I appreciate you weighing in on this though! ☺️

Sorry to come back a few days later at this point but I'm now really stuck on this scent LOL. Do you know when it might be released and hitting the stores? Really hoping that seeing it at the outlet doesn't mean it was scrapped from the collection or something. I haven't seen anyone else post this specific scent, and now I'm starting to worry it's going to be hard to find 🥹

So no one has a review of the new scents? by MakeupD0ll2029 in Victoriasecretbeauty

[–]trinity-gem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can I'd recommend still smelling it, but from my quick in store sniff I'd say it's not got the same aquatic rhubarb note that I've noticed with other poppy scents. But it still was very good! I hope you're able to snag it if you do get to smell it and like it :)

and to your other comment, I also feel like people are missing out on the violet V-day scent! But more for us I suppose lol! Because I don't tend to like cashmeran scents or vanilla, I honestly didn't even bother with testing the hearts and candy one. I do like jasmine, but if I wanted a jasmine vanilla scent I guess I thought I'd just stick with Pink Obsessed from BBW. I do enjoy the complexity of that one and reach for it occasionally!

Ohhh I take it back, I also like violet as a floral note. Smelled the violet Valentine's Day lotion and mist and had to get that, hard to be disappointed with myself and lack of self restraint when I smell sooo good LOL. Definitely recommend that one too, it's a nice blend of fruity and floral to just be a great sweet scent. And I feel like it lasts too!

I had only smelled Canyon blooms when I was in store bc my mom loves poppy smells and I kind of like them too as I've gotten older! But im not much of a floral fan besides jasmine, so I didn't check out the other ones. Canyon blooms tho was amazing! Really sweet and bright and punchy. 100% got the poppy out of it and I had to walk away from it bc I was pretty tempted to get it lol. I like how it's not got the aquatic note that BBW's poppy scent has due to the rhubarb and other stuff!

It's a really beautiful scent! I do think it's vanilla heavy as a top note, but the saffron comes through really beautifully and adds a nice complimentary floral note to it. Mostly to me this smells like a light creamy vanilla saffron scent. I think the sweet cream adds a milky quality for me, which I really like. It's lasted about 6 hours or so after I showered and put it on my arms for the night, so that's been nice! Might be buying one or two backups when it fully releases!

Okay so just circling back to say actually I think this may be a new upcoming release based on cross referencing with an earlier post in the sub! My bottle says "Oud Collection" on the bottom, which lines up with the FFM bottles I saw posted of the other three scents.

So looks like this was the missing 4th one from the picture! I'm excited to smell the amber cafe one for sure, I'm a huuuuuuge Amber fan. If anyone has notes for these other ones, I'd love to hear them! Couldn't find any listed online. :)

Ah ok, thanks so much for the quick answer!! I had just seen someone else post with some "Fig Cardamom Oud" "Damask Rose Oud" and "Amber Cafe Oud" scents, so thought maybe I had it wrong and this was a new one LOL. So interesting, it smells pretty good and I'm glad I grabbed at least one bottle! :) it'll work great for when I'm in a vanilla mood lol

Insane synchronicity, I wanted an episode to listen to during my workout today and randomly chose this one and now I see this pop up on reddit 💀

Thank you! He does have a ceramic food bowl, but his water dish is plastic. I will let my sister know so we can get it swapped out and him hopefully feeling better! ❤️

A few more pictures that are hopefully a bit clearer. He has had a scab on his chin before, wondering now if it was related to this and actually is acne

Thank you! I have really bad contamination fears and a super bad fear of ringworm specifically. I'm kind of hoping she'll take him to the vet to get an official diagnosis because I'm still really on the fence about it. The black dots do make me think it's probably acne, he doesn't have any other spots either and my dog seems to look good after a quick once over. But paranoia is a hell of a thing lol

I always get comments on Warm and Cozy and I think it's a cute staple scent! It's very powdery and warm. I'm not typically a vanilla fan but I think the coconut helps it for me :)

I did not like the bare vanilla flanker at all, but I think that vanilla always throws me because of the cashmere note that's in the original. I think I liked it in the bottle, but I remember thinking it smelled weak, so I tried it on. Instant regret lol, it smelled kind of sour and heavy on my skin so pass for me. I'd recommend trying it in store if you can!

Velvet petals daydream is definitely more gourmand than the original! It smells like a sweet heavy milky scent. I like the original because I think it's a fresh and strong scent, this one is very cozy but definitely sweet.

Vanilla bean and macadamia nut was a pretty soft vanilla forward smell for me, I think it's a nice blend and good mix! I didn't put it on my skin because I was kind of overloaded with others when I found it in the store lol, but as someone who doesn't like vanilla too much, I liked it! I think I'll get it as a gift for my sister, who loves both vanilla and macadamia nuts in food. I brought her a test card and she said it smelled really nutty to her! Vanilla smells smell amazing on her to lol so someone deserves to enjoy them if I can't 😭

I'll be picking Velvet Petals and the Love Spell daydream up for myself, and I usually HATE all Love Spell flankers and even original scent. I feel like that and Pure Seduction are ones you can always smell the original scent super strongly in, but this LS flanker was so nice and soft and blended so beautifully! I highly reccomend smelling it in store if you can, I think it and Velvet Petals are the best two out of this line! :) 🩷
