@@VeronicaSays my son and his girlfriend come into my office where I have my perfume collection and they smells my perfumes.. he doesn’t like a lot of my favorites… 😂
It's always a good time watching. Where are these kids growing too? My son says everything is okay. For me that means 10/10 too lol. Thanks for sharing 💕
Hi, I agree with your first pic. The new Valentino Bon Roma is pretty. I’m going through my decant. I don’t know why I didn’t realize it was limited edition. Why did they do that because they know I’m likely to rush out and get a freaking bottle sneaky buggers
I don't understand why the would want people to fall in love with a fragrance they can never get again. I won't get it purely because its LE. Same with makeup products.
OMG loved the surprise appearance by your son. you should bring him on before the holidays to help us moms with what perfume to by our teen daughters. Baciami is a love for me. I wore it during a MNO and I was complemented repeatedly. The bottle doesn't bother me. It actually has grown on me. I can't believe it but I actually like Mirage gourmand. I usually hate too gourmand fragrances that smell like it could be a candle but I ended up layering it with Diptyque L'eau Papier and it smells like a delicious rice desert. I could not stand Story of your life. I get so much of something that smells like ambroxan which I am very sensitive to (even though I don't see it listed on the notes). would love to hear your thoughts on the new Tumi woman fragrances that everyone keeps raving about. Thanks for another great video!!!
Thank you so much! 💖🥰 What does MNO stand for? That layering combo sounds great! I did a quick "short" on the Tumi collection here: th-cam.com/users/shorts6IOCxbmgKxg?si=-41mMJDm2zEtIaPK
Awww your son is adorable! And funny😄. Daughters are fun, but sons are fun and funny. I have both, and both are such a blessing❤ I haven’t smelled any of these frags, but the one I probably would like is the Banana Republic Orris Vanille. I ordered 3 decants of perfumes recently, and didn’t really like/love any of them, so I am learning NOT to blind buy anymore.😄
Thank you so much! He's a good natured young man and keeps me laughing. 😂 I think you'd enjoy Orris Vanille. Hubby is LOVING The Woods one you sent over! SO classy! 🥰🥰🥰
Hi, Veronica! I also, like others, enjoyed seeing your son, since I’m fond of you. :) I rescued my Glossier You, from neglect. I layered it with Roger and Gallet’s Rose Imaginaire, a fresh floral . The Rose Imaginaire does have a slight alcohol beginning, but it lasts a second. I think it made the Rose Imaginaire a little more interesting, and made me very happy. I blind bought Glossier You.; I think that I’m not into musky. I’m still learning about all this and my likes. I l liked your Michelangelo art analogy! I haven’t smelled the alcohol in other of the Roger and Gallet fragrances. Thanks and take care!
Hello! Thank you kindly! 💖💖💖 That sounds like a lovely combo! Thanks for sharing it as I bet there are others who would love to breathe new life into their Glossier You experience.
Thanks for sharing Veronica! That was sweet seeing your son! Looks like mine! Mine is getting into fragrance now😁so fun! Baciami bottle is cute, but I don't love it. Also, I ordered a sample of Oro Verde last night. I'm just so curious!
Veronica what a priceless cameo by your son !! What a handsome young man he is !! I’ve never seen him as a little guy . Gee I’m going bro have to look back at some of your older videos?? I’ve only been following for maybe a year. Fragrances going for $400-$900 a bottle WAAAY out of my league !! Woah !! That’s a lot of cash . Great video Love your sense of humor ❤😊
Great video! I saw your video this morning with my coffee before I started work. What a great way to start the day! The pop in from your son was sooo cute. He gave good reviews....lol
I am the opposite of you and did not really like the OG Prada Paradoxe and Paradoxe Intense but LOVE the Virtual Flowers version. I have a very weird nose though (I don't enjoy gourmands at all) so it doesn't surprise me that I would have preferences that are completely opposite of others. Sometimes I get bummed that my preferences are so weird but then I figure my wallet is probably relieved LOL. I love your videos!!!!
😆 I had so many thoughts as I was watching but seeing your son melted my heart ❤️. I have two boys, 14 and 19, and only the younger one has an appreciation for fragrances.
Their smaller white bottles from the same line - the scent basics that “amp up” a tone for other fragrances - LOVE LOVE LOVE, and - individually beautiful. My favs are the rose, the sandalwood, the vanilla - mwah. 😊
This was fun Veronica; have not smelled a single one of these 🤷♀️Orris Vanille sounds right up my alley 💜😜 your son is a cutie, what a great young man !
I tested Promises, Promises and Unkown Pleasures one on each arm. I loved Promises, Promises. It reminds me of Inito's Absolute Aphrodisiac. Gorgeous. The Unknown Pleasures I thought smelled like pledge🤔. Which is weird, because everyone loves it so much. Maybe I'll test it again. I just got a full bottle of Mirage Gourmand and it's probably my favorite gourmand perfume I own. Thank you for the wonderful reviews you do. It really helps me decide on what to buy or pass on. But, everyone is different. It's always best to sample first before you buy if you're able to. 🥰
Oh lovely! I'm looking forward to finding my Promises, Promises decant and trying again. I wonder if I'll like it! 🤔 I can see how some folks get Pledge from Unknown Pleasures. 😂
👋 Hi Veronica, Strawerry letter is super nice....can't wait to smell Jo Malone Red Hibiscus (I really like Scarlett Poppy) ....I enjoyed seeing your son....my son is the exact same age ❤❤❤ Aren't they so much fun!!!
Aww!!! I'm so glad I didn't click away too soon, that was so sweet with your baby, Veronica! ❤❤❤ I wanted to tell you - that Valentino Voce Viva Intensa had not even been on my radar, but I was in Sephora this morning and tried it - and *really* liked it - and I was going to be good, only spraying that one and one more, Alien Goddess Intense (another I had previously only tried after my nose was overwhelmed by too many scents) - second trial for that one - so I sprayed one on each arm (I was going to remember!) and now I'm not sure which was which! Do they smell similar to you? Maybe I just need both... 🤭 Oh, and I got TWO compliments from strangers later at the DMV... 🥰 But for which one?? 😂
Thank youuuu! 💖💖💖 I wouldn't have thought that Voce Viva Intensa smells similar to Alien Goddess Intense, but I haven't tested them side by side like you have. I trust that they do! And I love that you got compliments! 🥰🥰🥰
Your son at the end was so sweet and touching! 🥹. I’m actually wearing Voce Viva today! I really like it (I have the intense flanker too, got a great discount on it) and so does my 31yo daughter. I agree with you about the Prada Paradoxe Virtual Flower. I tried it in store, liked it and bought it. I then returned it because it turned kinda sour on me. You and I seem to have similar tastes in fragrances, so I’m considering the new DBIR Gold! I have the original. Have a great one, Veronica!
Thank you soooo much! 💖🥰 I'm loving that you and your daughter enjoy Voce Viva Intensa. I'm gonna need a whole bottle! Let me know your thoughts on The Gold if you try it. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Red hibisikus by Jo Malone is so underrated. Really suprised not more people are talking about it. I gor it right away when it came out and its a big compliment getter. And long lasting! Maybe people dont want to try Jo Malone perfumes due to most of them not being long lasting but this is. Highly recomend it and Im so happy you like it to Veronica. As always great video😊my oldest is almost 17 and its so much fun to see them grow up to be young men❤ /Shiri
Hey Veronica’❤❤happy to hear your thoughts.i def would also think strawberry letter was just a sweet fruity fragrance. I haven’t tried it yet mainly for that reason😊
Vice Viva Intensa smells beautiful! I got the bottle this year because I was afraid I wouldn't like it. It's a blind buy fragrance that turned succes for .me.
1. The BVLGARI bottles are a work of art in person. You have to see it in person. 2. I prefer Voce Viva over the Born in Roma flankers. 3. Longevity is a conversation to be had. I used to be of the mindset that I want it to last forever and ever. If the perfume gives me that (eg Hibiscus Mahajad) I am all for it. Now I’m satisfied with decent longevity. I think 5 hours is - sweet spot. However, some very pricy perfumes only giving about 2 hours is a joke. 4. I too can’t get over the rhubarb ore in Delina. I have revisited it every time I go to Saks or Neiman Marcus and I just get stomach it. 5. Have you tried the new Tory Burch Sublime? The bottle is gorgeous. And the fragrance itself is beautiful. My next purchase.
I will one day check out these Bvlgari bonbon bottles! I agree - five hours is a sweet spot. 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 I have not tried Sublime but a travel spray is in my cart. That bottle is 🤩🤩🤩 How would you describe it?
@@VeronicaSays it’s not a loud perfume. In the opening, I got a nice burst of mandarin. There was something I couldn’t put my nose on and had to look up the notes. It’s ivy. Not a fan but it doesn’t make or break the opening. 30 minutes is where the magic really started for me. The florals are light and airy. My skin really picked up on the Osmanthus. And the leather, it’s like the softest suede. Overall, it’s not a loud fragrance but it’s big in other ways. Feelings it evoked: peace, confidence and in control. The bottle matches the quality of the juice. Oh, and I would say that this is unisex. Perfumers: Rodrigo Flores-Roux: Elizabeth Arden White Tea, House of Bo Agua de Santos, Espíritu, La Mar. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino.
OMG! Your son❤So handsome and such a sweetheart! The way he kept putting his hand on your shoulder or holding your hand.... melting my heart🥰 I'm interested now in Eldo Story of Your Life, Born in Roma The Gold and Volce Viva Intense! I've never tried Paradoxe🫤but I actually think the bottle is cute. The Baciami bottle isn't a love for me either, maybe in person??
Thank youuu, Tonia! 💖 He has his sweet moments for sure. 🥰 Definitely get your nose on some of these! I'm hoping the Baciami perfume is cute in person too. 😂
I know that Donna born in Roma the Gold would smell amazing for me, but like you said, it’s limited edition and I’m scared that I’ll fall in love with it and then I won’t be able to find it anymore🙈🤣 “pink pp” is the most ridiculous name🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I didn’t like the name “yellow dream” either because it reminded me of someone wetting the bed while they’re sleeping🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Aww this was a very sweet cameo appearance. I always ask my teenage son for his opinion on fragrances too- I appreciate the brutal honesty that teen boys deliver! 😂
We love a family cameo! ❤ I was just thinking regarding Prodigy and Mentor. I’m not sure if this is what Mind Games intended, but I love the idea of the mentor being this more mysterious, dark figure…maybe he’s wizened with time and even a bit crotchety. Then there’s the prodigy: a unique soul, a student of the mentor. The prodigy is a bit brighter, with the times and maybe has a great sarcastic sense of humor (from the spicy cinnamon and rose facets perhaps).
Oh my word Veronica, is that Bryson😳😳. My son is turning 18 next week and yes he’s into fragrances🤩🤩. Anyway I would love to smell The Gold so not sure if it will hit our shores🤔🤔. Baciami was love at first sniff for me however I waited and used my 20% off voucher from my local fragrance store, my next one will be Specttacolore ❤️❤️. Stay gorgeous🥰🥰
Yesss! Can you believe it? 😯 He's grown sooo much! Awww Happy Birthday to your boy! 💖 Someone else commented that Specttacolore is wonderful! I have to try it! 🥰🥰🥰
I just heard a review of Promises Promises from Roxanne, so that's definitely a sign ... .I need to smell it.... because she loves it... let's hope you like it
Ooh The Gold sounds so pretty!! 🤩 I’ve been listening as I put color on my hair, paused you to clean out the sink so I can wash the dye out and guess what I was singing? The story of my liiiiiife 🎶 Lol 😂 I’ve heard very mixed opinions on Dear Sky.. interested to sniff it, if they get it in store in Sephora 🤔 I don’t love the bottles like the Baciami one either but Spettacolore was stunning and dreamy! Maybe I could overlook the bottles for this line!
@@VeronicaSays well.. I had already passed that point in the video, so I was singing it because you put it in my head! 🤣🤣 but that would’ve been a real cool coincidence! 😆😅 yes I’ll definitely be excited to give dear sky a sniff! ☁️😃
I loved Dear Sky when I sprayed it on my arm and I was sure I will get a bottle. Good thing I waited because the drydown had something that was bothering me..close to giving me a headache
Heeeey Roxanne! I would love to hear your thoughts on The Gold. I am committed to retrying Promises, Promises after hearing you love it. Where's my decant???
Love Valentino The Gold. This is my 1st full bottle "I'm keeping it " from the Born in Roma collection. I've returned pink PP, returned a travel size green extravaganza (even though I liked this one), just wasn't reaching for it.
I think Nika and Rico got those New Mind games fragrances and they love them..., but again I will definitely wait for Dapper or DUA to do their thing 😂😂
Hi Veronica. I prefer the men and women's Bvlgari Le Gemme bottles over the candy ones. The Murano bottles are on a whole other level and income tax bracket. 😬 That outro was hilarious.
Prada Paradoxe, Virtual flower.... sounds like a Nah😂😂😂 I only own the original and it's really nice...so will definitely smell it the next time I'm in store ..
I had exact same experience with Baciami! Loved it at first, but again, white florals faded on me, and I was left with amber-y vanilla, still smelling good, but I bought it because of the florals, so I'm not sure if it's a keeper.
I felt the same way about dear sky. The first minute on my skin I was thinking I need a full bottle of this and then by the time I got to the dry down, I couldn’t even stand it anymore🤣🤣🤣🤣 it became a sour soapy mess🤣🤣🤣
Prodigy omg I’m not even going to do the conversion to Cad, it will be well over 1000 😅😂 The Banana Republic ones are interesting! ❤ Yay you finished Harry Potter! I’ll be rewatching the movies this season! 🥰✨⚡️ Aww your son!! That was sweet!!! He literally sounds like my son! I asked him the other night to smell some scents and he said I CAN’T SMELL ANYTHING!!! I had planned on filming a video with him but how can I if he can’t smell a thing?? 😂😂😂 Love it!
Over 1,000 CAD! 😯😯😯 Oh noooo! 😬 I want to rewatch Harry Potter too. I dream of filming a whole video with Bryson but I fear he'll trash EVERY fragrance 😑👀😆
@@VeronicaSays 😂😂 I had two ideas for videos to do with Hunter, one was “helping my son find a new signature scent”, the other was “my son trashes my entire perfume collection” 😂🤣
good thing that Valentino PP is in pink, not yellow I don't particularly like any ot the Paradoxes, but the new one is pure cleaner or some air freshener
Aww…son cameo 😊🥰 I try to get my sons to sniff too. None have shown serious interest but I’m holding out hope. 😅 My oldest carried around an Angel scented ribbon from the mall for a day. I was so encouraged!!!😅
Hi V! I actually got the 3 Banana Republic fragrances during your sale. I stand with you with your ranking. Orris Vanille was my favorite of the three. Monday Rose is a strong like and Morbing Jasmine is misleading in its name. It almost reminds me of Amber Roige Gold but a tiny bit sweeter and more floral. It was definitely not what I expected. Also, have you tried the YSLFlowers and Flames, yet? How does it compare to Valentino Gold? Thanks! ❤
Do you know how happy it makes me that you had the exact same reactions to the BR line? 😯😯😯 Thank you for shopping through the sale, btw! 💖 All wonderful but different and MJ I'll gift to someone who I know will rock it. I tried Flowers & Flames and it's nice but I didn't pick it up. Some folks RAVE about it, so I may respray in store one day soon. 🤷🏻♀️
@@VeronicaSays Btw, since you liked Orris vanilla, I think you will love Lattafa’s Bade’e Al Oud Honor & Glory if you don’t have it already. I think it’s such a unique unisex scent that’s sweet (and juicy from a pineapple note) and creamy. Almost buttery because of a yummy creme brûlée note. Also, it’s one that smells good off the bat and didn’t need maceration. Try it if you haven’t already! 💗
But from what I understood, the Mind Game ones are in a crystal bottle, right? So we aren't paying just for the juice, I guess...I hope. Also, thanks for reminding me to try the Voce Viva Intense because the EDP version was missing something for me to love. Great video 🎉🎉 And your son is back with his underwhelming perceptions hahah he's the best. I still remember his videos here 😂😂😂
I was so excited to get a decant of the Valentino DBIR Gold. And I was so disappointed. Both of the decants I received had leaked in shipping so I don’t know whether that is a factor. I love Green Stravaganza and Yellow Dream and really was expecting to love this one.
895.00 😂😂😂 I really need to get samples I am curious to smell 👃 what would make these Fragrances so expensive, I want to smell money lol, btw I purchased Morning Jasmin! 🤗 Your son!!! ❤❤❤
I’m so glad I got a decent of promises promises. It was an absolute no for me. Very masculine leaning and a gave it to hubby. Actually Wednesday night I was in the room with our youngest daughter reading books and could smell my husband as he came up the stairs. It was a spicy smell and he later said he sprayed promises promises. I don’t love it on him either lol
Ok so let's Talk about Baciami.....Now first off....i love the bottles😂😂😂 Now, let's talk about the scent.... For some reason...i got Burberry Goddess with so much Lavender 🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️.....But listen Because Brown Sugar Babe, has a inspired oil called Kiss Me... that made me want the Fragrance..so I went to Bloomingdale's and smelled it.. sprayed it on skin and I kid you not .. within 4 hours I couldn't smell it anymore...😮😮Yes ... I'm going to stick with my oil... Until Dapper or Dua or Julianna's Perfume.. comes out with a clone😂😂😂 Don't come for me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Son rates my fragrances video plz! I like hearing regular people's opinions bc frag ppl sometimes get too deep in the weeds and I have a simple nose lol.

This was a blind buy for me as well and it was a love!!! I wore it today and it lasted into the evening when I took a shower!
My favorite part was with your son! My boy is 17 and it reminded me of him! Have him on more!!!
I agree - anyone who has kids this age GETS Mom and Son 100%. So cute, heart warming.
Thank you so much! I may wrangle him into another video. I'm afraid he'll trash all my favorite ones 😂

@@VeronicaSaysVeronica, maybe they don't at all, and one was completely taking over my smeller! 😂
Your son at the end was so sweet and touching! 🥹. I’m actually wearing Voce Viva today! I really like it (I have the intense flanker too, got a great discount on it) and so does my 31yo daughter. I agree with you about the Prada Paradoxe Virtual Flower. I tried it in store, liked it and bought it. I then returned it because it turned kinda sour on me. You and I seem to have similar tastes in fragrances, so I’m considering the new DBIR Gold! I have the original. Have a great one, Veronica!
Thank you soooo much! 💖🥰 I'm loving that you and your daughter enjoy Voce Viva Intensa. I'm gonna need a whole bottle! Let me know your thoughts on The Gold if you try it. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Red hibisikus by Jo Malone is so underrated. Really suprised not more people are talking about it. I gor it right away when it came out and its a big compliment getter. And long lasting! Maybe people dont want to try Jo Malone perfumes due to most of them not being long lasting but this is. Highly recomend it and Im so happy you like it to Veronica. As always great video😊my oldest is almost 17 and its so much fun to see them grow up to be young men❤

Red Hibiscus is beautiful! 💖 Glad you find it long lasting. Yes, so fun to watch our babies grow up.
Great video V!! Also what a handsome teenager!! Loved his commentary at the end hahahahahaha
Thank you so much! 💖 Bryson is a TRIP! 😂
Hey Veronica’❤❤happy to hear your thoughts.i def would also think strawberry letter was just a sweet fruity fragrance. I haven’t tried it yet mainly for that reason😊
Hi! Give it a try. It's nice overall. I see the appeal. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Vice Viva Intensa smells beautiful! I got the bottle this year because I was afraid I wouldn't like it. It's a blind buy fragrance that turned succes for .me.
Yes! It's lovely! 🥰🥰🥰
1. The BVLGARI bottles are a work of art in person. You have to see it in person.
2. I prefer Voce Viva over the Born in Roma flankers.
3. Longevity is a conversation to be had. I used to be of the mindset that I want it to last forever and ever. If the perfume gives me that (eg Hibiscus Mahajad) I am all for it. Now I’m satisfied with decent longevity. I think 5 hours is - sweet spot. However, some very pricy perfumes only giving about 2 hours is a joke.
4. I too can’t get over the rhubarb ore in Delina. I have revisited it every time I go to Saks or Neiman Marcus and I just get stomach it.
5. Have you tried the new Tory Burch Sublime? The bottle is gorgeous. And the fragrance itself is beautiful. My next purchase.
I will one day check out these Bvlgari bonbon bottles! I agree - five hours is a sweet spot. 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 I have not tried Sublime but a travel spray is in my cart. That bottle is 🤩🤩🤩 How would you describe it?
@@VeronicaSays it’s not a loud perfume. In the opening, I got a nice burst of mandarin. There was something I couldn’t put my nose on and had to look up the notes. It’s ivy. Not a fan but it doesn’t make or break the opening. 30 minutes is where the magic really started for me. The florals are light and airy. My skin really picked up on the Osmanthus. And the leather, it’s like the softest suede. Overall, it’s not a loud fragrance but it’s big in other ways. Feelings it evoked: peace, confidence and in control. The bottle matches the quality of the juice. Oh, and I would say that this is unisex.
Perfumers:
Rodrigo Flores-Roux: Elizabeth Arden White Tea, House of Bo Agua de Santos, Espíritu, La Mar. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino.
@@raquelrodriguez5672 sounds lovely!
OMG! Your son❤So handsome and such a sweetheart! The way he kept putting his hand on your shoulder or holding your hand.... melting my heart🥰 I'm interested now in Eldo Story of Your Life, Born in Roma The Gold and Volce Viva Intense! I've never tried Paradoxe🫤but I actually think the bottle is cute. The Baciami bottle isn't a love for me either, maybe in person??
Thank youuu, Tonia! 💖 He has his sweet moments for sure. 🥰 Definitely get your nose on some of these! I'm hoping the Baciami perfume is cute in person too. 😂
I know that Donna born in Roma the Gold would smell amazing for me, but like you said, it’s limited edition and I’m scared that I’ll fall in love with it and then I won’t be able to find it anymore🙈🤣 “pink pp” is the most ridiculous name🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I didn’t like the name “yellow dream” either because it reminded me of someone wetting the bed while they’re sleeping🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yellow Dream! 👀🤡💀 Oh my! 😆
God bless your beautiful family!
Thank you so much! 💖💖💖
Aww this was a very sweet cameo appearance. I always ask my teenage son for his opinion on fragrances too- I appreciate the brutal honesty that teen boys deliver! 😂
Thank youuu! 🥰 Totally! He does NOT hold back 😂
We love a family cameo! ❤
I was just thinking regarding Prodigy and Mentor. I’m not sure if this is what Mind Games intended, but I love the idea of the mentor being this more mysterious, dark figure…maybe he’s wizened with time and even a bit crotchety. Then there’s the prodigy: a unique soul, a student of the mentor. The prodigy is a bit brighter, with the times and maybe has a great sarcastic sense of humor (from the spicy cinnamon and rose facets perhaps).
Thank you so much! 💖 And YES! I love your interpretation of the Prodigy / Mentor duality. Well done! 👌🏼
Oh my word Veronica, is that Bryson😳😳. My son is turning 18 next week and yes he’s into fragrances🤩🤩. Anyway I would love to smell The Gold so not sure if it will hit our shores🤔🤔. Baciami was love at first sniff for me however I waited and used my 20% off voucher from my local fragrance store, my next one will be Specttacolore ❤️❤️. Stay gorgeous🥰🥰
Yesss! Can you believe it? 😯 He's grown sooo much! Awww Happy Birthday to your boy! 💖 Someone else commented that Specttacolore is wonderful! I have to try it! 🥰🥰🥰
@@VeronicaSays
Unbelievable 🙏🙏. Thank you so much🥰🥰
I just heard a review of Promises Promises from Roxanne, so that's definitely a sign ... .I need to smell it.... because she loves it... let's hope you like it
Yes! Just left the same under another of your comments. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yes! I feel the same way about the Prada paradoxe bottles. That’s why I haven’t bought them.🤣🤣🤣🤣
How unfortunate! Were there NO other designs up for consideration? 🤔😆
I love the Bvlgari bottles. Reminds me of Candy wrappers 😊
They do look like candy. 🥰
Ooh The Gold sounds so pretty!! 🤩 I’ve been listening as I put color on my hair, paused you to clean out the sink so I can wash the dye out and guess what I was singing? The story of my liiiiiife 🎶 Lol 😂
I’ve heard very mixed opinions on Dear Sky.. interested to sniff it, if they get it in store in Sephora 🤔
I don’t love the bottles like the Baciami one either but Spettacolore was stunning and dreamy! Maybe I could overlook the bottles for this line!
No kidding! You were singing the song? How serendipitous! 🥰🥰🥰 Do give Dear Sky a sniff. I'd be curious to hear your take on it.
@@VeronicaSays well.. I had already passed that point in the video, so I was singing it because you put it in my head! 🤣🤣 but that would’ve been a real cool coincidence! 😆😅 yes I’ll definitely be excited to give dear sky a sniff! ☁️😃
They grow up so fast! I'm slow to try Prada Paradox and Valentino BnR & Voce Viva, but I'd like to try them.
Yes, too fast! Time sure does fly. 😔 Hope you get to try some of these! 🥰
I loved Dear Sky when I sprayed it on my arm and I was sure I will get a bottle. Good thing I waited because the drydown had something that was bothering me..close to giving me a headache
I totally understand! Something went VERY wrong in the dry down for me. 😬
Yes pink pp ridiculous name. I need to try the Gold
Heeeey Roxanne! I would love to hear your thoughts on The Gold. I am committed to retrying Promises, Promises after hearing you love it. Where's my decant???
Love Valentino The Gold. This is my 1st full bottle "I'm keeping it " from the Born in Roma collection. I've returned pink PP, returned a travel size green extravaganza (even though I liked this one), just wasn't reaching for it.
I'm glad you love The Gold flanker! It's lovely! Stravaganza is awesome 👌🏼 One of my faves!
At 23:30 I have Jo Malone "Red Hibiscus" and it stays pretty, fruity/floral, sweet/powdery, and tropical all the way thru the drydown. I love it 🌺🌸
Good to know! Thanks for sharing! I'm considering it! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I paid full price for it as it's not on any discounters yet.. but I got a bunch of free samples with my purchase so it was worthwhile.
Aww the cameo in the end ❤
Thank youuuuu! 💖💖💖💖
😂😂😂😂Not a Hell Yes.....To a Hell No.... Veronica, i hollered 😂😂
So glad i heard your review...i will definitely smell it in store
Yes! 😂 Please try FIRST
I love both Voce Viva's.
Baciami is beautiful but soooo expensive. I personally feel like it is a vanilla heavy version of Armani My Way
Oh! I can see that comparison. Thanks for sharing! 💖🥰
Hahahah we need another video with your son roasting perfumes. Hilarious!!! ❤
He's a funny kid! 💖💖🥰🥰
I think Nika and Rico got those New Mind games fragrances and they love them..., but again I will definitely wait for Dapper or DUA to do their thing 😂😂
Good to know! And... I don't blame you! Those price tags are 👀
Hi Veronica. I prefer the men and women's Bvlgari Le Gemme bottles over the candy ones. The Murano bottles are on a whole other level and income tax bracket. 😬 That outro was hilarious.
I'll check out the men's line because I'm nosy! Thank you! 💖💖💖
@@VeronicaSays Garanat is my favorite! Simple but memorable. The price has increased drastically since its 2016 release though.
Oh my god so sweet both of you
Awww thank you so much! 🥰💖🥰💖
The ending is the best 😂
Thank youuuu! 😂😂😂
Love your son’s honesty 😂
He will let you KNOW! 😬😂
Prada Paradoxe, Virtual flower.... sounds like a Nah😂😂😂
I only own the original and it's really nice...so will definitely smell it the next time I'm in store ..
I had exact same experience with Baciami! Loved it at first, but again, white florals faded on me, and I was left with amber-y vanilla, still smelling good, but I bought it because of the florals, so I'm not sure if it's a keeper.
Yes! I totally understand. Thanks for sharing! 💖
I felt the same way about dear sky. The first minute on my skin I was thinking I need a full bottle of this and then by the time I got to the dry down, I couldn’t even stand it anymore🤣🤣🤣🤣 it became a sour soapy mess🤣🤣🤣
Yes! What a disaster. Chemical hot mess! 😬
yes i own a bottle of bvlgari baciama the bottles are heavy, yes lil goofy but lovee the frag
Awesome! Thanks for sharing, Joshua! 💖
Prodigy omg I’m not even going to do the conversion to Cad, it will be well over 1000 😅😂
The Banana Republic ones are interesting! ❤
Yay you finished Harry Potter! I’ll be rewatching the movies this season! 🥰✨⚡️
Aww your son!! That was sweet!!! He literally sounds like my son! I asked him the other night to smell some scents and he said I CAN’T SMELL ANYTHING!!! I had planned on filming a video with him but how can I if he can’t smell a thing?? 😂😂😂 Love it!
Over 1,000 CAD! 😯😯😯 Oh noooo! 😬 I want to rewatch Harry Potter too. I dream of filming a whole video with Bryson but I fear he'll trash EVERY fragrance 😑👀😆
@@VeronicaSays 😂😂 I had two ideas for videos to do with Hunter, one was “helping my son find a new signature scent”, the other was “my son trashes my entire perfume collection” 😂🤣
@@tammyroxanne. yes, we could make the latter one a tag video! 😂
😮😮😮 oh no.... Not 👎🏾 for Promises Promises...I hope you find that Decant to try it again
I need to cause Roxanne loves it and I usually align with her tastes. So I will try again!
good thing that Valentino PP is in pink, not yellow
I don't particularly like any ot the Paradoxes, but the new one is pure cleaner or some air freshener
Haha! Imagine 👀 I can see how you get air freshener out of the new own.
Hey Veronica! Not the flex of the muscles😂
Don’t waste your money 😂
I still say mommy loves you I love it!! 💜
Haha! They will always be our little boys no matter how old they are! 💖💖💖
Love the son bomb - reminds me exactly of the kind of reviews my son gives to masterpiece perfumes 😂
Thank you! 💖 Gotta love that boy sarcasm 😂
@@VeronicaSays😂
ETAT LIBRE D'ORANGE have a new scent? 😳
I am HERE 😂❤❤❤
Yes and I LIKE IT! 🎊
@@VeronicaSayswhere can you get it? Found it!
At twistedlily.com. You can use Veronica10 for 10% off.
Aww…son cameo 😊🥰
I try to get my sons to sniff too. None have shown serious interest but I’m holding out hope. 😅
My oldest carried around an Angel scented ribbon from the mall for a day. I was so encouraged!!!😅
Keep hope ALIVE! 😂 The mall scenario is a sign of promise! 💖💖💖
Hi V! I actually got the 3 Banana Republic fragrances during your sale. I stand with you with your ranking. Orris Vanille was my favorite of the three. Monday Rose is a strong like and Morbing Jasmine is misleading in its name. It almost reminds me of Amber Roige Gold but a tiny bit sweeter and more floral. It was definitely not what I expected. Also, have you tried the YSLFlowers and Flames, yet? How does it compare to Valentino Gold? Thanks! ❤
Do you know how happy it makes me that you had the exact same reactions to the BR line? 😯😯😯 Thank you for shopping through the sale, btw! 💖 All wonderful but different and MJ I'll gift to someone who I know will rock it. I tried Flowers & Flames and it's nice but I didn't pick it up. Some folks RAVE about it, so I may respray in store one day soon. 🤷🏻♀️
@@VeronicaSays Btw, since you liked Orris vanilla, I think you will love Lattafa’s Bade’e Al Oud Honor & Glory if you don’t have it already. I think it’s such a unique unisex scent that’s sweet (and juicy from a pineapple note) and creamy. Almost buttery because of a yummy creme brûlée note. Also, it’s one that smells good off the bat and didn’t need maceration. Try it if you haven’t already! 💗
But from what I understood, the Mind Game ones are in a crystal bottle, right? So we aren't paying just for the juice, I guess...I hope.
Also, thanks for reminding me to try the Voce Viva Intense because the EDP version was missing something for me to love.
Great video 🎉🎉
And your son is back with his underwhelming perceptions hahah he's the best. I still remember his videos here 😂😂😂
Haha! He's HILARIOUS! 💖💖💖 Yes, the new Mind Games fragrances have crystal. It works out to about $400 for a 100 ml (if you convert the prices).
I was so excited to get a decant of the Valentino DBIR Gold. And I was so disappointed. Both of the decants I received had leaked in shipping so I don’t know whether that is a factor. I love Green Stravaganza and Yellow Dream and really was expecting to love this one.
Awww darn. Perhaps you can try it in store sometime. I LOVE Green Stravaganza! 💖💖💖
@@VeronicaSays I hope so
I think it's time for a new genre in TH-cam perfume videos: "Teenager son rates women's perfumes." We want it!
Haha! I'm here for it! 😂😂😂
Let's see what made the list
Hey Veronica! I’m going to forgive both of them because they are cute 😂
Heeey Liz! They are darn cute 😂
895.00 😂😂😂 I really need to get samples I am curious to smell 👃 what would make these Fragrances so expensive, I want to smell money lol, btw I purchased Morning Jasmin! 🤗 Your son!!! ❤❤❤
I mean!!! These prices 👀 👀 👀 Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Morning Jasmin!
Does Valentino gold have similarities to JHAG lust for sun? Cause I really like that one and if it's similar I wouldn't get it.
Not too similar. I remember the JHAG one having a lot of musk. It's been well over a year since I tried it, though. I don't get musk in the Valentino.
Spraying my donna born in roma gold as I watch this 😂😂😂
Yessss! She's beautiful! 🥰🥰
I’m so glad I got a decent of promises promises. It was an absolute no for me. Very masculine leaning and a gave it to hubby. Actually Wednesday night I was in the room with our youngest daughter reading books and could smell my husband as he came up the stairs. It was a spicy smell and he later said he sprayed promises promises. I don’t love it on him either lol
Oh noooo! 😆 At least it was just a decant.
Your Son is handsome 😍😍😍
Thank you 💖🙏
I just tested voce viva, I like the OG. The intensa is too similar to Donna Born In Roma.
Oh interesting! Thanks for sharing 🥰
Ok so let's Talk about Baciami.....Now first off....i love the bottles😂😂😂
Now, let's talk about the scent....
For some reason...i got Burberry Goddess with so much Lavender 🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️.....But listen Because Brown Sugar Babe, has a inspired oil called Kiss Me... that made me want the Fragrance..so I went to Bloomingdale's and smelled it.. sprayed it on skin and I kid you not .. within 4 hours I couldn't smell it anymore...😮😮Yes ... I'm going to stick with my oil... Until Dapper or Dua or Julianna's Perfume.. comes out with a clone😂😂😂 Don't come for me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I promise not to come for you! We know you love Dapper! 💖
@@VeronicaSays in my comment...I meant to say Burberry Goddess, without all the Lavender 🤦🏾♀️
Son rates my fragrances video plz! I like hearing regular people's opinions bc frag ppl sometimes get too deep in the weeds and I have a simple nose lol.
