Transcript excerpt

Okay. I have to get your guys' opinion on this. So I was never a vanilla perfume or lotion girl. I always liked a more masculine, more musty musty? Musty? Maybe not musty. Anyways, I was better a vanilla girl. Then I got this, vanilla skin by Fleur, like, on a whim. It was really rank. And I've almost used half the bottle. My boyfriend has not complimented me this much on a scent ever. Do men just really like vanilla scents? Like, I feel like it's very feminine. I also feel very feminine and, like, cute when I wear it, but now I'm, like, fully a vanilla girl. But if you're a vanilla girl that's, like, not a super, super girly girl vanilla girl, this is the scent for you. Just saying.
