In this video, I’m breaking down the NEW spring 2026 fragrance releases and giving y’all the real “shop or drop” based on what actually sounds different versus what feels like the same old DNA in a new outfit. Because these brands are playing with our bank accounts, and in 2026 I’m not blind buying every vanilla flanker just because the bottle is cute (even though… pink packaging will always try me). I’m looking at notes, vibe, and whether it’s offering something new to my gourmand-heavy collection—or if it’s just strawberry rebranded. I talk through Skylar’s Pomegranate Princess (yes, I’m probably buying), Skylar Morning Cartoons (cereal? I have questions), and Kayali’s new Eden Sweet Peach and Eden Plush Pear (I’m trying both, but pear has my heart). I also tell y’all what I’m skipping and why—like Lancôme body mists (respectfully no), Clean Sugar-Coated (not moved), and the Sol de Janeiro jelly perfume balms (Houston heat + melting jelly? absolutely not). And then we get into the ones I’m curious about versus actually excited for: Valentino’s purple Donna Born in Roma (I want deep plum, not candy), Replica Chasing Sunsets (I’ll sniff first), Prada Paradoxe Sweet Reflections (I’m nervous after that popcorn moment), Brown Girl Jane Peach Aura (I’m watching you), and the Ellis Brooklyn drop I’m most hype for—Isla Serena. That one is an immediate purchase because those tropical gourmand notes sound like summer in a bottle.
