What videos are talking about

Cold-weather scent language gains ground. Winter-scents mentions rise 51% in normalized share from September. Cozy rises 28%, tobacco 33% and discovery sets 48%.

Gourmand talk extends into body care. The broader vanilla and gourmand report tracks perfume, mists and related scent conversation. Its reviewed sample includes shower routines and layering, so perfume-only monitoring misses part of the context.

Mists and designer lines stay visible. The largest tracked category product groups are Sol de Janeiro Perfume mists (Cheirosa, Brazilian Crush) (574 videos), YSL Libre (391 videos), Carolina Herrera Good Girl (387 videos). These are mention counts, not sales or a scent-quality ranking.
