| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the perfume room. My send of the day today might just be my favorite flur body mist to date. |
| 0:18.0 | It is the brand new launch from the brand and it is vanilla nectar. Now, I just |
| 0:22.5 | want to give you a little context. I am on the FLUR PR list, so I do receive every single release. |
| 0:29.8 | And there are a lot. If you don't hear me talk about a new one, likely I smelled it and it just |
| 0:35.3 | didn't resonate with my personal tastes, so I didn't speak on it. |

| 1:29.3 | We have Comptoir, Sud Pacific, fruity vanilla, cool. |
| 1:32.3 | Now, add to the list the fluffy citrus gourmet marshmallow aspect |
| 1:39.3 | of perfumum Roma, Dulchis and Fundo. |
| 1:42.3 | And as I'm saying this, it's like, yeah, duh, of course I love the scent. |
| 1:45.5 | Dulcice in Fundo and Vinnie Bannan are two of my favorite vanillas ever. |
