You hit the nail on the head. One of the reasons I never hopped on the Sol de Janeiro train is I couldn't wrap my head around $30 bodymists. Body mists were inexpensive perfumes or things to layer with. In the same way, I don't feel comfortable paying $80 for perfume oils. Also, I remember everyone making fun of people who wore bodymists. So now that designers are making them its cool. Oh ok. They're not about to play with my coins 😅
I definitely agree! They still look down on bath and body works like it’s for kids but now everyone else is coming out with it. Double standard for sure!
I’m with you 💯 fragrance mists should be affordable, they never gave luxury to me. It’s a easy cash grab for these larger companies, they see a lot of people layering their perfumes with mists and want to jump on the bandwagon.
Totally agree, which is why I set myself a limit that I will spend on a fragrance mist. I don’t care how hype it gets, my limit is set. I don’t even own any sol de Janeiro because those prices are a bit steep for those size bottles for a mist
I agree that body mists should be affordable. Also just throwing this out there, with the affordable mists, just because they are affordable they shouldn't be watered down either. I have notice the quality in some brands has gone down since lockdown.
Vania...Thank you for reviewing ALL these fragrances. Kayali is a no for me. I don't want a set. I could end up liking one or two and half to decide whether or not to keep them all. I'm good on Arabian fragrances too. They are a hit or miss. Phlur. I like Vanilla skin. I have the mist, don't need the edp. I loved Phlur Amber Haze. Quai I have it all. Body butter scrub and body mist. That is lovely. Thank you for being you. Thank you too for planning an update on fragrances. I like to hear thoughts later down the line after wearing them. Thoughts often change. Stay beautiful❤
Very understandable! Forcing a set was not a smart decision in my opinion. You have to be willing to play the long game with Arabian perfumes. What does the vanilla skin mist smell like to you? I’m thinking it was that amber haze that was on my arm for thumping like that! Thank you so much! ☺️
@@vaniamickelle Honestly Vanilla skin reminds me of Supreme Vanilla from Zara. Also I believe its called Cozy fireside Smore from Bodycology. I layered it one day with Bare vanilla and Vanilla potion. I had people asking all day what I had on. You half to get Amber Haze. Beautiful. Make that a fragrance Phlur!
I have a few of the SDJ mists but I only have them because I had Ulta points to use. If I ain't willing to $16.96 for a mist at BBW, I am not spending $40-$50 bucks for a mist, especially if performance isnt great.
I’m totally getting you. I remember being hesitant to get my Sol de Janeiro mists because to me $24 for a 3oz body mist was ridiculous. I enjoy them but still think it’s kinda high for body mists when I get BBW way cheaper lol. Perspective. 😊
“ You better quit messing with these Duas” got me hollering cuz that’s my last name and accurately describes our family dynamic lol I looooove your videos
This was one of your funnier videos, especially when you started clapping at the end lol. I love your personality and watch almost everything you post even if I have no intentions of buying anything lol.
I feel like sol de janeiro was so hyped this last year that everyone tried to jump on it. But mists were always their thing. They’ve only ever had one perfume. We don’t need a mist from everyone, I don’t want a mist unless it’s $5. SDJ is the only one I’ll make an exception for and only a couple of the fragrances.
Sooo excited for kayali vanilla candy rock sugar and silk santal in the concentrated perfume spray by fragrant body oilz❤omg their dupes are amazing,the half drams last me forever and are only 2.50! I just ordered their escapade gourmande and sol de janeiro coco cabana 39 in edps and love soooooo much ❤
I couldn’t watch my faves review Vacay in a bottle until I posted my own first impression and yours was one I looked forward to the most. We both loved the same ones. I love them so much though and I’m already wanting larger bottles because I do not want to buy this set again when they run out. I don’t like Marrakech or Capri at all. Tried but I don’t. I think you make a really excellent point about body mists and the desperation of brands in the fragrance market. This really is the year of everyone and their mother of coming out with a body fragrance hair mist version of their popular fragrances that cost like 20 and up. Hence why I have a collection of body mists for the first time in my life! 😆 I love the St Barts fragrance but I refuse to buy the mist because I have the body crème and wash. I did just get a mist from Nest NY though. 😩
Hi Vania. I received my fragrance journal and I love it. It’s so well thought out and organized. Now I have to push my self to put all my info in. lol thank you.
Good morning Vania, thank you for a REAL unbiased review on the Kay Ali set. I also agree with you on the overpriced mist. I will continue rock BBW and Victoria secret ON SALE(lol) . 40 and 50 bucks for a mist is nasty work!
I’m with you on luxury fragrance mists I know Nest just came out with some as well for $40 I’m not paying for that stuff too damn much!!! I will be sticking too Bbw and Victoria Secrets as well I stay shopping the sales and u also use perfume body oils as well I stick to inexpensive perfumes from mixbar zara and finery 😂😂😂😂😂that’s my price range and budget and I do just fine 😊
Completely agree with your thoughts on higher-end companies releasing fragrance mists. I would even go as far as to say they’re trying to pass off lesser-quality items (fragrance mists being of lesser quality than perfumes) to save themselves the money of producing it. Less fragrance oil = less money spent on their end. They get to make more sales while simultaneously feeding into the elitist narrative of “luxury” fragrance mists. Same goes for all of the other “luxury” body care (body/perfume oil, body wash, body butter, skincare, etc.). I think it would make more sense if niche companies did it (i.e. if Parfums de Marly came out with a Delina fragrance mist for like $50).
Lmaooo when you said Teriaq smelled like teriyaki I instantly got up and smelled mine and I def don’t get that! 😂😂😂 Mine has set for like 2-3 months tho and has gotten a lot sweeter! When I first smelled it, it has like a leather or suede note to it and I didn’t like that (and I couldn’t return it), but now it’s completely gone! I love it now lol
I think that’s exactly what I’m getting is the leather in it and I don’t like it. I’m sure it will get better but I don’t have the patience right now to babysit it 😂
@@vaniamickelle lol yeah I feel you! I’m sure if I could’ve returned it, I probably would’ve. Even though it would’ve pained me because the bottle is soooo pretty!
Kay Kay played in our faces with this .. not mad at being limited edition we don’t need it to come back 😂 the cuteness of the bottle is what will save them a big financial loss with returns .. but they will be getting returns for sure .. I bought two I’m returning one .. the bottles are the only reason why I’m keeping it 😂
I’m still on the fence to whether I will keep the Kayali set or return it. I like 2 out of the 4 ( Capri and Maui). Capri is very similar to Hard to Get, Lira etc. Definitely agree with the body mist releases. It’s a money grab for sure.
@33:47 - 34:05 😂 I am cracking up! 🤣 My Potential Perfume shelf is filling up as well. I still be trying though. Still waiting on a few to blossom. Lol
Could you make a video about good performance fragrance mists aka body sprays? Only the ones you think perform the better and last longer? Pretty please 🙏🏽
I'm new to Kayali (literally tried them within the past month and bought three fragrances lol). I feel like it’s always something new coming out. i just got Kayali 42 and then noticed they dropped the 4 summer bottle set. As of the body mist, I will always buy BBW mists. I tried those body mists from Sephora and it was nothing to write home about 😅
Hey Vania, I know you've already done a comparison between yum pistachio and affection, but do you think you can do an updated version featuring khair pistachio?
I’m waiting on my Kayali set now, but I’ve seen a lot of mixed reviews and people returning it….I bet she start selling them separately when those returns start coming back 😅😅
There is definitely pineapple in St. Bart’s! I agree because companies are dragging these body mists. I will say Daukens’ body mist performance is amazing tho
It’s gotta be! It’s the thing I smell the most! I’ve heard great things about Daukens body mist and the performance. If the other companies mists are performing the same, I would have no problems with the price point. But it doesn’t seem to be that way
@@vaniamickelle it’s really refreshing! No other body mist that I’ve tried matches the performance of Daukens. SDJ is a close comparison but still far off.
Lowes and Home Depot is crazy 🤣The Phlur Vanilla Skin body mist is woody and deep but I think you would find it a lighter in the sense that it's more tolerable for the summer/fall than the heavy perfume version. I didn't feel the need to buy the perfume because the mist already has so much power to it. One of the STRONGEST body mists I have tried
😂😂😂😂 I was trying to be descriptive as possible. Okay I’ll try the vanilla skin in the mist. Skin makes me think it’s going to be a skin scent and you won’t be able to smell it. But I’ll stop being so judgmental 😂
I just half to leave another comment....This is a great topic and it should be discussed. I agree with Vania on these body mists. Don't get me wrong, I love SDJ, own most of them. They have the mist game on lock in my opinion. The other brands are finding out that people are NOT buying there fragrances. Layering is to not only to create a signature scent it's has become a way to make your $180 fragrance last. Cause lord knows some of these expensive fragrances could use some longevity. So now it's a money grab to get your coins some kind of way. Honey.....your $60, $80 mist does nothing better than SDJ and cheaper. I can't wait until these brands start doing away with travel sprays. I'm sure they have seen the sales go up.......
@@vaniamickelle sooo if I’m being honest when I first smelled it…”yes” I got a strong nose punch of not only the neroli but more so the cedar wood and pink pepper and I was like ouuu…ok I’m not sure about this but today I just sniffed them all again and Marrakesh smells really nice now and it’s growing on me. My fave is Capri & Maui. 🍋 🍌
I did not like Teriaq either. 😂 I’m glad I didn’t buy the Kayali set. I was excited about it but then I really have it some thought and figured I’d only like 2 of the 4 based on the notes. Appreciate you taking one for the team!
😂That was me that said it smells like Teriyaki. Great video. It's the rhubarb giving the funky twang it got.💯 Someone else called it La Belles ugly sister and I screamed. 😂😂
Back with another great video. ☺️💕 I don’t know how you do it….I can barely get 1 video up a week! Loved seeing you talk about Kay Ali. I’ve been on the fence about the brand forever. 😂
Thank you so much! I just press record and don’t think twice about it 😂😂 it be a hot mess most the time but I post it anyway! Kayali is honestly so hit and miss. The bottles are the best part 😂😂 but there are some perfumes that I literally want in my collection forever.
I agree about the fragrance mist with these high end brands because so many reviewers have slandered the BBW mist but now they going up for fragrance mist. I’m not gonna hold you my collection consist of high end niche to BBW. I love anything that smells good to me.
@@vaniamickelle Ooommmgggggg my journal just arrived today. I’m soooooooooooo happy. I cannot wait to fill it up with all the things. You did your big one with this. I’m so happy for you and all your accomplishments. #tellthetruthshamethedevilsquad
I hope no one took any offense to your opinions! I used to share the same sentiments. I'm in my YOLO era now. I spend my money how I want, when I want 😂😂😂. Do I pay for it in the end?? It depends lol. Buuuut I got the Phlur Vanilla Skin fragrance mist and to me it reminds of how Warm Vanilla Sugar from BBW used to smell. I also bought a travel size spray of their other new fragrance Soft Spot. Just to get a feel of it I layered them last night before bed at 10pm. Woke up at 530am for work...When I say thumping!!! I smelled too good lol. Today I layered Soft Spot with Lattafa Qaed Al Fursan Unlimited. I'm enjoying it so far. Continue to be authentically Vania that's why we love you!! I'M A STAN, I'M A STAN, I'M A STAN in my Kendrick Lamar's voice 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 I hope no one did either. But I don’t mind paying for a mist if the performance is there. Cause I’m going back for that amber haze! It had my arm jumping! I immediately rolled my eyes at the name soft spot when I saw it come but maybe I shouldn’t have judged it so quickly! Thank you a million times over for your love and support! 🥰🥰
For the luxury one that I have by CC I equate the fragrance mist to being toilette water (old school). Its my favorite house and I layer it with all the Les Exclusif (their private line) so I’m ok with paying $125 for it. It’s called No.1 and it last 4 hrs on skin however longer on clothes. I also use phlur and that last a long time also… I actually got sick of the amber haze before it wore off lol. I have Ouai body mist and it last 3/4 hrs as skin scent but longer on my clothes. I agree with you about babysitting perfumes, not sure when that became a thing but I will take myself out of the equations for middle eastern perfumes. I don’t care how less expensive they are bcz the proof is in the putting for me as far as how cheap they are, quality is most important at my big age… I move on LOL
When the performance is there, I understand the price point! I’m going back for that amber haze for sure! 😂 Sometimes you have to play the long game with the Arabian perfumes and everybody is not here for it so I understand 😂
I look at it like this: if I'll pay $35 for a 10ml designer/luxury edp, I'll pay $40 for a 200ml "luxury" ffm. B/c you're prob getting the same amount of perfume oil in each product. One just has more alcohol/water.
The fact you said “I might be overthinking” about the fragrance mists.. and RIGHT before I watched your video, this dupe company from Serbia I brought from, Chezz Pierre, sent me an email about how they were literally starting fragrance mists lol.. I was just thinking to myself “now why would this low budget company start making mists lmaooo” and then here the topic is brought up 😂
🤣 I had the same respone to Teriaq the first time I smelled it.... try it again in a month lol! cause now I love it and can’t believe it’s the same scent I tried in the beginning?? if you still don't like It send it to me lol 🥰
Hey Fren…yes the “luxury fragrance mist” craze is a scam..I agree that their business could’ve seen a decrease in sales and noticed brands like BBW and VS is thriving and now they wanna hop on the bandwagon.
Everyone seems to like the same two in this set. I returned mine for this reason. I liked capri but inline you said it smells exactly like hard 2 get which I already own. Can we talk about how a lot of people who like capri are acting as if forvr mood hard 2 get doesn’t exist??
I purchased the st. Bart mist and I will not repurchase it as it’s overpriced. Not buying the other higher mist either unless it’s SDJ as all of there are worth their price.
Woooooow I'm glad I didn't buy Vanilla Skin. I dont wanna smell like no musty campfire. I wanna low key try Skylar Boardwalk Delight and NEST Balinese Coconut mist, but $30 and $39 mmmmmmmm...idk bout that
There have been some that I’ve loved from first spray and they just got better over time. This one just isn’t of them and I don’t have any patience at the moment 😂😂
@@vaniamickelle overall the descriptions of lowes paint thinner and primer, home depot's lumber section, and chicken teriyaki had me on the floor dying 🤣🤣 I think it's the first time I ever heard a reviewer describe fragrances in such way. I.look forward to more videos and enjoy your content and your spirit.
I own all of Quais perfumes. When st Bart's came out everyone &their mom said it was BOMB. I bought it. It was meh...def not vacation or beach scent to me which is what I gravitate to. I'm gonna keep it. But it's over hyped. Smells like a basic fruity body spray. Not worth $28. Maybe worth $5 at bath&body semi annual sale. Overall disappointing
I seen a girl make a video about how horrible Teriaq is. Her description was olives.lmao. She said is smells like a jar of olives left in the fridge 😂🫒🫒🫒

You are absolutely right about the fragrance mist topic. They think they are tricking us.
I’m with you 💯 fragrance mists should be affordable, they never gave luxury to me. It’s a easy cash grab for these larger companies, they see a lot of people layering their perfumes with mists and want to jump on the bandwagon.
Yes! It feels very jump on the bandwagon but at a higher price!
Totally agree, which is why I set myself a limit that I will spend on a fragrance mist. I don’t care how hype it gets, my limit is set. I don’t even own any sol de Janeiro because those prices are a bit steep for those size bottles for a mist
@@loyalm2327 I spent the $30 on SDJ before, it doesn’t last me 3 weeks. I don’t see myself doing that again.

Cause I NEVER pay full price at BBW, so $40+ is unfathomable

Yes I think the $24/$28 is high. I enjoy them so I do pay for it but it’s expensive to me. I’m not paying any more 😂
I refuse to pay luxury prices for a dang body mist!!!!! lol
Cause it’s all the same thing! 😂
Enjoyed hearing your thought as usual friend!
Thank you so much friend! 🥰

I hope the ones I like make the full size list 😂😂

A lot of people have been returning it for the same thing. They like some of them but not all of them.

They have the mist game on lock in my opinion. The other brands are finding out that people are NOT buying there fragrances. Layering is to not only to create a signature scent it's has become a way to make your $180 fragrance last. Cause lord knows some of these expensive fragrances could use some longevity. So now it's a money grab to get your coins some kind of way. Honey.....your $60, $80 mist does nothing better than SDJ and cheaper. I can't wait until these brands start doing away with travel sprays. I'm sure they have seen the sales go up.......
I agree. After buying 3 designer fragrances with no lasting power I got mad! Fragrances used to last longer.
Yes a big money grab. There’s no effort or thought put into it. Cause the prices of perfumes are going up and they haven’t got any better
Such a great video❤
Thank you Ms. Brenda 🥰
@@vaniamickelle you are welcome darling 😊
Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts girly! Good questions!
Thanks for watching 😘😘
Ouu I usually love neroli I’m so excited to get my sniffer on these today. My Kayali package is being delivered today. 😊
If you love neroli then that one should be a love! Let me know if it stands out to your nose like it does mine
@@vaniamickelle sooo if I’m being honest when I first smelled it…”yes” I got a strong nose punch of not only the neroli but more so the cedar wood and pink pepper and I was like ouuu…ok I’m not sure about this but today I just sniffed them all again and Marrakesh smells really nice now and it’s growing on me. My fave is Capri & Maui. 🍋 🍌
The dry down on Marrakesh was very beautiful. That opening was harsh to me 😂 I wore capri the other day, it was very beautiful.
I did not like Teriaq either. 😂 I’m glad I didn’t buy the Kayali set. I was excited about it but then I really have it some thought and figured I’d only like 2 of the 4 based on the notes. Appreciate you taking one for the team!
Teriaq is going back! 😂😂 yeah making it only a set was really a missed opportunity in my opinion for reasons like that but who are we 🤷🏾♀️
😂That was me that said it smells like Teriyaki. Great video. It's the rhubarb giving the funky twang it got.💯 Someone else called it La Belles ugly sister and I screamed. 😂😂
Back with another great video. ☺️💕 I don’t know how you do it….I can barely get 1 video up a week! Loved seeing you talk about Kay Ali. I’ve been on the fence about the brand forever. 😂
Thank you so much! I just press record and don’t think twice about it 😂😂 it be a hot mess most the time but I post it anyway! Kayali is honestly so hit and miss. The bottles are the best part 😂😂 but there are some perfumes that I literally want in my collection forever.
I agree about the fragrance mist with these high end brands because so many reviewers have slandered the BBW mist but now they going up for fragrance mist. I’m not gonna hold you my collection consist of high end niche to BBW. I love anything that smells good to me.
And that’s exactly how it should be! Wearing what you love!
@@vaniamickelle Ooommmgggggg my journal just arrived today. I’m soooooooooooo happy. I cannot wait to fill it up with all the things. You did your big one with this. I’m so happy for you and all your accomplishments. #tellthetruthshamethedevilsquad
Oh wow! Thank you so much! I'm so glad love it!! I hope you enjoy it from the first page to the last!! 🥰
I liked the Quai St Barts mist spray. I smelled it in Kohls/ Sephora looking for the new Sol De Janeiro new mist. I planned to buy it.
Yeah it’s good! Do you get pineapple from it? Or is it just me?
Do you have any plans to get the new Britney Spears perfume (Candied Fantasy)?
Ohh I forgot that was coming out. Is there a release date yet?
I received a good girl blush spray and it is really good. not willing to pay $45 for it though . I am willing to pay that for a good body butter
They have a mist of good girl blush? 🤔
@vaniamickelle Sephora has the Good Girl Blush Body Mist. 100mL for $45.00.
“I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED TERIYAKI CHICKEN!!”😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 I could’ve worked with that
I hope no one took any offense to your opinions! I used to share the same sentiments. I'm in my YOLO era now. I spend my money how I want, when I want 😂😂😂. Do I pay for it in the end?? It depends lol. Buuuut I got the Phlur Vanilla Skin fragrance mist and to me it reminds of how Warm Vanilla Sugar from BBW used to smell. I also bought a travel size spray of their other new fragrance Soft Spot. Just to get a feel of it I layered them last night before bed at 10pm. Woke up at 530am for work...When I say thumping!!! I smelled too good lol. Today I layered Soft Spot with Lattafa Qaed Al Fursan Unlimited. I'm enjoying it so far. Continue to be authentically Vania that's why we love you!! I'M A STAN, I'M A STAN, I'M A STAN in my Kendrick Lamar's voice 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 I hope no one did either. But I don’t mind paying for a mist if the performance is there. Cause I’m going back for that amber haze! It had my arm jumping! I immediately rolled my eyes at the name soft spot when I saw it come but maybe I shouldn’t have judged it so quickly! Thank you a million times over for your love and support! 🥰🥰
@@vaniamickelle I need to smell that one and Moonstone.
For the luxury one that I have by CC I equate the fragrance mist to being toilette water (old school). Its my favorite house and I layer it with all the Les Exclusif (their private line) so I’m ok with paying $125 for it. It’s called No.1 and it last 4 hrs on skin however longer on clothes. I also use phlur and that last a long time also… I actually got sick of the amber haze before it wore off lol. I have Ouai body mist and it last 3/4 hrs as skin scent but longer on my clothes. I agree with you about babysitting perfumes, not sure when that became a thing but I will take myself out of the equations for middle eastern perfumes. I don’t care how less expensive they are bcz the proof is in the putting for me as far as how cheap they are, quality is most important at my big age… I move on LOL
When the performance is there, I understand the price point!
I’m going back for that amber haze for sure! 😂
Sometimes you have to play the long game with the Arabian perfumes and everybody is not here for it so I understand 😂
I look at it like this: if I'll pay $35 for a 10ml designer/luxury edp, I'll pay $40 for a 200ml "luxury" ffm. B/c you're prob getting the same amount of perfume oil in each product. One just has more alcohol/water.
That’s a good way to think about it!
The fact you said “I might be overthinking” about the fragrance mists.. and RIGHT before I watched your video, this dupe company from Serbia I brought from, Chezz Pierre, sent me an email about how they were literally starting fragrance mists lol.. I was just thinking to myself “now why would this low budget company start making mists lmaooo” and then here the topic is brought up 😂
😂😂😂😂😂 it’s the new thing to do now I guess 🤷🏾♀️
🤣 I had the same respone to Teriaq the first time I smelled it.... try it again in a month lol! cause now I love it and can’t believe it’s the same scent I tried in the beginning?? if you still don't like It send it to me lol 🥰
Whoops 😬 USPS was alresdy in possession the next day! 😂😂😂 I wasn’t playing no games
we need a dua draw perfume spin the block!
😂😂 I need to stop buying long enough so I can do it!
Y’all know Nest has body mists also. I want them but I just can’t wrap my head around that price!!!
I refused to pay for the perfume oil, I definitely cant do the body mists! 😂
Hey Fren…yes the “luxury fragrance mist” craze is a scam..I agree that their business could’ve seen a decrease in sales and noticed brands like BBW and VS is thriving and now they wanna hop on the bandwagon.
It’s such a scam to me and I’m not fully invested in it! There’s a few I like but overall I think they are taking advantage and I’m not here for it!
@@vaniamickelle facts..count me out!
I have St. Barts body cream and I'm so disappointed it smells nothing like the notes it's just meh but I'm going to use it up
Hopefully the scrub gives me a little bit more. I think overall they missed the mark with the notes in comparison to how it smells
Everyone seems to like the same two in this set. I returned mine for this reason. I liked capri but inline you said it smells exactly like hard 2 get which I already own. Can we talk about how a lot of people who like capri are acting as if forvr mood hard 2 get doesn’t exist??
Vanilla Skin also smells just like Bonfire Bash to me. I got the body spray during the last Sephora sale and I will not be getting the perfume.
If I would have known it was giving Bonfire Bash I would've left it right where it was 😂
Girl i love your teeth too!!! And why didnt u read my comment earlier boo❤
"If Marrakesh in a bottle smells like Home Depot, teriaq smells like Lowes" 💀 😂
😂😂😂😂
I purchased the st. Bart mist and I will not repurchase it as it’s overpriced. Not buying the other higher mist either unless it’s SDJ as all of there are worth their price.
It’s definitely at the higher end for a mist!
Teriaq is AAAAWFUL! I let mine sit over two months and it's STILL 🤮
You did right by sending it back!
I only want the banana one! I don't want to buy a set.
Hopefully she releases them individually
Woooooow I'm glad I didn't buy Vanilla Skin. I dont wanna smell like no musty campfire. I wanna low key try Skylar Boardwalk Delight and NEST Balinese Coconut mist, but $30 and $39 mmmmmmmm...idk bout that
Somebody was saying the mist is not as woody as the perfume. And I feel like at that price point, might as well save and buy the full perfume 🤷🏾♀️
I hear you on not babysitting potential when it comes to perfumes. They're too costly to not love at first sniff in all honesty.
Yes especially the more perfumes that come out and the more I have, I just don't have interest in babysitting a lot of perfumes.
No babysitting potential….another dope shirt perhaps?
Adds to merch list ideas 😂
All I smell is Celery now for Teriaq😭 Lowe’s 😂
Now it smell like the produce section?!?!? 🥴🥴 dis too much
@@vaniamickelle smell like it need to be next to some buffalo wings and ranch
You have to let Teriaq macerate. All middle eastern perfumes have to macerate 😅❤
There have been some that I’ve loved from first spray and they just got better over time. This one just isn’t of them and I don’t have any patience at the moment 😂😂
@@vaniamickelle Chile I feel u 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂that Teriaq is Teriaqing me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Maldives in a bottle is so similar to kayali de' ja' vu white flower 57 to me! Anyone else?
Hmm 🤔 I don’t remember what that one smells like. Let me look at the notes and compare
I could have told you not to get Teriaq. The leather in it is not good to my nose
Whew 😅 I literally never heard anybody say it and now I’m seeing it everywhere 😂
@vania 😂😂😂 at it smells like home depot
With the lumber specifically 😂
@@vaniamickelle overall the descriptions of lowes paint thinner and primer, home depot's lumber section, and chicken teriyaki had me on the floor dying 🤣🤣 I think it's the first time I ever heard a reviewer describe fragrances in such way. I.look forward to more videos and enjoy your content and your spirit.
Home depot 😂😂😂
The lumber section specifically
I’m so glad I didn’t buy teriaq
Whew! You dodged a bullet for sure! 😂
I own all of Quais perfumes. When st Bart's came out everyone &their mom said it was BOMB. I bought it. It was meh...def not vacation or beach scent to me which is what I gravitate to. I'm gonna keep it. But it's over hyped. Smells like a basic fruity body spray. Not worth $28. Maybe worth $5 at bath&body semi annual sale. Overall disappointing
I seen a girl make a video about how horrible Teriaq is. Her description was olives.lmao. She said is smells like a jar of olives left in the fridge 😂🫒🫒🫒
The food comparisons keep getting worse and worse 😂
