Absolutely, I will not wear a perfume my family (especially my kids) don’t like! You were spot-on when you said why would you wear a perfume that would make your kids not want to hug you? 👏🏼
Totally agree, Chelsea! I wouldn't want to miss not even one hug from my kids.
🙋 80's girl here! Gosh those were good days. Wish I had a time machine.
You and me both! 😔
…and THE best music❤
@@HollyAllen-tq6jc definitely.
That would be excellent. 😢
I loved the original Wonder Woman , loved Linda Carter and Christopher reeves as Superman as well ♥️
Me too! 80s memories! 💖💖💖
I wore Dior Addict yesterday and both kids and my husband complimented me! I don’t wear fragrance that bother people I’m close to and as a Respiratory Therapist only wore a light skin scent in the ER. I’m always mindful of who I’m around. If Todd doesn’t care for them I usually declutter unless it has a big sentimental value. He loves most, just not Instant Crush!😂 I always love the awards!🤍❄️
That's so sweet of your family to compliment you! 🥰 Yes, being mindful of not invading others' scent space is important. Glad you enjoyed the video! ❄️❄️❄️💖💖💖
Thanks again, Veronica! Totally feel the same; if I appreciate so much the importance of nice scents, why wouldn’t I want those around me to associate me with a pleasant smell? And I love to be told during a hug that I smell good. ❄️
Exactly!! I'm with you on all of this! 💖💖💖❄️❄️❄️
Oh my goodness, the ax is hilarious🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 my dogs would’ve been in heaven with all of those tennis balls😋
I wish I could have mailed them to you! Our oldest son took them for his dogs 😆
Hey Vee💕💕 you’ve captured some of my absolute faves for the month but the texture description of Yum Gelato is spot on 🎯 I completely agree!!🤗❄️
I’m so glad you agree! 🥰 It’s like a creamy dream, right? 💖❄️ Thanks, Evelyn!
I just went back and tested overture woman and omg what a stunner!
Yes it is! 💯💯💯
What I love about the Dior addict is that despite reformulating a few times, it still remains a stunning fragrance ✨🤍🥰
@@Danit.Talkscentswithme #facts
❄️I love Ode to Dullness! Definitely not talked enough about!
I agree! ❄️❄️❄️
The “you smell expensive” compliments on Addict when you have such an amazing collection. 😂 Oh my gosh I remember the ax!! 😂 Hilarious
Right?! So interesting! Girl, that ax 😵💫😯🤣
Yay I love this series of yours Veronica, always look forward to it!!
Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
❄️❄️❄️ I’m still not a fan of House of sillage and their politics but I can admit their bottles are beautiful!!
Similar to when I meet an attractive person who is a jerk, I no longer think those HOS bottles are pretty 👎🏻
@ hahahaha
Hi Veronica! I was just rewatching your November fragrance awards on my subway ride to work.
I hope it was a smooth ride! 😊 Thanks for rewatching! 💖💖💖
Yes, you described yum pistachio perfectly 👌
It’s definitely a unique fragrance! 😉 Love it!
I am loving the blue eyeliner accents. I am going to try that. I look forward to to the monthly awards 🎉
@tammynarro1998 thank you so much! It's Navy Noir from Victoria Beckham. 🥰
Ode to Dullness always gets me compliments! 😊
White Pearl reminded me a lot of Mugler Womanity as well as Salt Air by Skylar when I compared them. And then I was thinking maybe Coccabello although I did not compare those ones side my side so that could be all in my head lol
Love NY Nights ❤💙
❄️❄️❄️
🤍
Yes - Ode to Dullness! 🎉💖 Interesting! I think White Pearl is closer to the vibe of Coccobello. Womanity was nice but the fig Overdose ended up being too much for me. 😳😵💫
Dior Addict is a Gem ❤My first luxurious perfume way back in my 20’s 😊 still have and I really hope it’s not been discontinued. Lira on the other hand is really overhyped 😂I was so and still am disappointed with its longevity and sillage. I enjoyed this video ❤
Dior Addict is a classic! 💖 Glad you enjoyed the video! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Great start to the year. Love all your videos. 🎉❤
Thank you so much! 💖💖💖💖
totally agree about overture woman. sooooo good 🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@TressesOfAlexis yes, I know you love it as well! 🎉🎉🎉
❄️❄️ thanks for sharing Veronica! Love this monthly series. So nice to see some older/non-mainstream bottles featured. I have a 10ml Overture that I’ve only worn once. Need to get her out while it’s still cold here: maybe today? XO 😘
❄️❄️❄️❄️ Hey Jill, thank you! Did you end up pulling out Overture yesterday? We are starting to thaw out here! Looking forward to those first hints of spring.
@ I didn’t….but wore Imitation yesterday and enjoyed it. Supposed to be low 80’s here next week 😲
@jillshorten3457 wow! That's summertime temps! I'm jealous!
Overture Amouage is gorgeous however the leather punches me after about an hour in. lol. I do love it thought.
My favorite vanilla baked good scent is Ex Idolo Love and crime, an orange sponge cake with spice. lasts on me all day, and my shirt the next day.
Love & Crime is aweome! 💖🥰 I like leather but I can understand that it's too strong in Overture for some.
Hello my friend!! I just picked up my bottle of Bergamont & Hinoki the other day from the back of my "summer shelf" and gave it a sniff, and was thinking how good it is and how much I am looking forward to wearing it! Sounds like my suspicions were confirmed, that it might get stronger as it sits for a few months! 🙏🏼😃💚💛
Hi Tammy! I was shocked when hubby said I smelled good... at dinnertime! 😯 I'm glad I hung on to this one! 💖💖💖💖
Oh my god, your weightlos is showing up.❤ look even more amazing
Would love to hear your weightlos journey and approach.
@@GA-vr7ob thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hey Veronica! ❄️ I 100% agree that those around you need to enjoy how you smell. I definitely ask my kids what they think when I try new scents.
I think that's smart to get their feedback! 😊 They have to live with the scent. ❄️❄️❄️
❄️Thanks Veronica! I always enjoy your videos! I want my husband to like my scents too. But he's not very picky😁👍
❄️❄️❄️ Thank you! 🥰💖 It's great that your husband is open to different scents!
❄️ Yum Pistachio is such a great fragrance. It’s my husband’s favorite scent on me.
It really is delicious! 😋 ❄️❄️❄️
😁expenturous😂😂😂 haha I agree! But I do love that about my Amouage Overture. 🥰🥰🥰
Yay! We love and live for these amazing sales!💗💗💗
Haha! Expenturous! 😆 I love a good sale, too! 🎉
Thank you for this, Veronica! I got Lancome Intensement after you talked about it in the "best of the house" video, and I'm really enjoying it! In Walmart the other day, an older gentleman said to me, "Ma'am? Excuse me, but I just have to say, you smell delicious!" - 😊 And now I need to get my nose on Dior Addict again. Since getting Mon Guerlain Intense, I'm really into deep vanilla dry-downs! ❤
I love that you were stopped in Walmart for such a sweet comment! 🥰🥰🥰
Wow what a compliment on Dior Addict! I have been sorely neglecting my bottle! 😢 Maybe February will be her time! ✨
Hahah omg yes the axe!! 🪓 Lol! 😂
Me, too. Ran to get her.😂❤
Enjoy Dior Addict! And yes... the axe 🪓 What in the world?! 😯🤣
You know what Veronica, I have dreamt of Lira for like two years until a friend gave me a sample and it was a total fail on my skin. I think I can count in hours the time that I have spent wondering if I should get it or not prior to that. What a waste of time! 😅😂 I love your collection, it’s so full of everything for everyone! ❤
😯😯😯 Oh hilarious! I have had similar experience of yearning for something and then... nope 🤣 Thanks, Julie!
Alexandria Fragrance has a beautiful dupe of Lira and I prefer it to the original. It is a great price, as well.
❄️ love watching your videos
@@Tatiperez78 thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
Dear Veronica, just a little side note there: Marc Gebauer is a German influencer with his own perfume brand called “Marc Gebauer” and perfumes f.e. Orange Flamingo or Air Tiger. “The nose behind” is the brand of Herbert Stricker who is trying to capture unique scent impressions of his personal life. Marc Gebauer has this brand in his own online shop though since Herbert Stricker distributes his brand via him. Herbert has another brand called Roberto Ugolini which is super super nice and has a creative concept too. So I think both brands might have been mixed up a bit. ☺️ best regards ☀️
@@TamTam399 😯😯😯 Thank you for this background! Everything came branded as just "Marc Gebauer" - the label on the package, the fragrance box, etc. Appreciate your note.
Dear Veronica, thanks a lot for your reply. Well I find this rather shocking if a product is sold looking like someone’s own though produced and also invented by someone else. I didn’t know Marc Gebauer is doing that. He did a lot of videos with Herbert Stricker together. Maybe he knows about that and it’s mutual. Else I am doubting this to be perfectly legal. And I can completely understand your confusion 😊
❄️❄️❄️ yes! Can’t wait for your video tomorrow! Have a wonderful day, lovely Veronica! 🥰
@@mariezapanta8839 ❄️❄️❄️ thank you so much! 💖💖💖
I love your make up in this video!
Thank you! 💖💖💖
❄️❄️ I hope Dior Addict isn’t being discontinued 😢
Oh and Wonder Woman with Linda Carter as well as Bionic Woman and Six Million Dollar man was great family TV! I miss those kinds of shows.
❄️❄️❄️ Hey, Jessie! I miss those shows, too! So memorable. 🥰
French Defense, it was nice, but it did run more masculine to me as well
I can understand that.
❄️ Love watching your videos Veronica. You are amazing. God bless
❄️❄️❄️ Aw, thank you for your kind words! 🥰💖😘
Hola Chica! I sooo wanted to be Wonder Woman. Your reference of the mask brought back so many great memories. I wanted to be WW every Halloween for years - my mom was like, Let it go Mija! Your reference to Hufflepuff sold me on the WW fragrance. I guess I have yet another link to send to my hubby as a ‘surprise’ Valentine gift. Poor man has received like 5 wish list items. ❄️ Thank you for the great vid! You look gorgeous BTW.
❄️❄️❄️❄️ Hubby has some great options go get for you, Miss Wonder Woman! 🥰🥰
A snowflake? Of course. How could I possibly not. Love your videos. Your high end, designer priced and hidden gem suggestions (mostly, the latter two) have been absolute loves over the course of the past year. Big “thank you” and here’s your snowflake, snowflake.❄️
❄️❄️❄️ What a lovely comment, thank you! 💖💖💖
Quatre iconic is extremely strong! I loved it at first too, but I couldn't stomach the relentless strength. It's a peru balsam bomb to me.
I gave the bottle to my mom. She briefly tried on my coat while wearing it and I could smell it pretty heavily on my coat the next day. It's a different level of intense
It's super intense! Does it remind you of anything else?
I absolutely care what others around me think about my fragrance, Veronica! My oldest daughter comes down for the weekend about once a month, and she is sensitive to fragrance (even though my perfume would have to be really strong for her to say anything), so I just take a break for those couple of days - and I always have a renewed appreciation for my fragrances when I go back! ❄️❄️❄️
Oh, and Si! That's another one that I know I've sprayed on in the store at some point, but need to revisit...what is the difference between the original and the intense, and which do you prefer? 🥰
❄️❄️❄️❄️ I'm glad you agree on being considerate of our loved ones! Regarding Si and Si Intense, I have the 2021 version of Si Intense in the clear bottle. The main difference is that Si Intense has deeper sweetness, almost syrupy. I love it! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You know how much I love your monthly fragrance awards videos! And I'm here, coffee in hand, ready to watch! 😍🤩
Thank you, Giselle! 💖💖💖
My husband is sensitive to fragrances and quite picky - he didn't grow up in a household that used perfumes. It's a pain, but I understand that and try to be mindful. I love him more than perfumes:D
Yes! Our relationship is more important than perfume. Well said! 💖🥰
Oh I hope the sale is for PDM, I have been lusting after Meliora for more than a year 😂🤞🏼
I can neither confirm NOR deny that! 😉😉😉
@ I am on a no-buy for the next month but… maybe I’ll be on a no buy next month instead. 🤣🫣
Thanks for the heads up on the Bombon fragrance.... because this house has been HYPED
I'm guilty of hype for this house! I'm fond of the line 🥰🥰🥰
Whoa that’s crazy! My skin must eat yum pistachio gelato. Literally 30 min wear on me 👀👀👀 Ooo wait I have been thinking about that Bond no. 9. I always hear it smells like pancakes and syrup but hearing you say you get floral is so interesting. I need to smell it
Hey Aleisha! No way! I'm sorry YPG doesn't last on you 😔 For the Bond one, are you thinking of Bond New Harlem that smells like syrup?
Love your makeup ❤❤❤
Thank youuuuu! 💖💖💖
Thanks for another honest review 😊
Thanks for watching! 💖💖💖
❄️💕🫶💃 love these, thanks for bringing it!❤
@@corinalymburner1121 thank you! ❄️❄️❄️💖💖💖
Love the fragrance award series! I've been meaning to try the Salt & Stone scents and keep forgetting.
I loved watching Wonder Woman back in the 80's. I thought her clear airplane was the coolest! 😂I think I still have a picture of me in that plastic mask and outfit for Halloween. Good times ❄❄❄❄❄❄
❄️❄️❄️❄️ Thank you! And WOW, forgot about the airplane! 😯
Here for the fabulous fragrance awards ☺️🙌☺️🙌☺️Love these! Watching lovely 🥰
Hiiii cuz! 💖💖💖💖
I am one of those people with expensurace taste! 😊expensive and adventurous taste. I think you got me interested to sample Amouage Overture about a month ago, and it’s now one of my top favorites for Winter (along with Duchessa)! It’s a real gem.👍🏼👍🏼
Hello, fellow expensurous fragrance friend! 😂 I'm glad you're loving Overture and Duchessa! 🎉🎉🎉
❄️ Only award show worth watching! 😂😂
@@debrawells-hopey1980 thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
I've been loving a sample of Akron Rise. It's beachy with a vanilla dry down. It's been raising my mood on these gray winter days ❄️❄️❄️
❄️❄️❄️❄️ That sounds GREAT!
🥨 Well, I can't find my snowflakes, so I've left you a pretzel to say.. I'm still here! And a little hungry. 🤷♀️ January has been a great fragrance month, both in YT content from my favorite creators, and in my own personal perfume adventures. 😊
I love pretzels! 😂😂😂 I'm glad you've had a good fragrance month and that YT content was a part of it! Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
❄️ your description of Kayali Yum texture is one of the main reasons I prefer the original over the dupe❄️
❄️❄️❄️ I haven't tried any of the dupes but I remember your description of the black bottle. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Spot on on bon bon, it reminded me of my grandpa and his after shave and just for men. With a hun of vanilla.
❄️❄️❄️❄️
❄️❄️❄️ I can see that connection! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
❄️ you’ve inspired me to pick Si back up, I’ve been on a designer patchouli kick!
My wife and I love these awards, as always! They’re our favorites.
❄️❄️❄️ Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy Si again. 🥰🥰🥰
i live alone so i rarely have to consider others as a homebody that is a bit new to fragrances however i do try to have etiquette when i'm in public or going to work. my personal perfume etiquette for work is i avoid wearing complicated or challenging fragrances.
That's a good way to approach fragrance etiquette. It's all about balance and being respectful. 💖🥰
❄so interesting, Lira is so strong on me and leans warm and slighly spicy, love how differences play out❄white pearl is so dreamy and an easy reach when in doubt
❄️❄️❄️❄️ I wish Lira was longer lasting for me! Glad it is for you! 💖
❄️ it is starting to seem like it's warning up here in MD, and I'm starting to dread not wearing my heavier fragrances as much 😢, but all good! Loved those. I always look forward to your monthly awards!
❄️❄️❄️❄️ I know, it's a trade off. Warm weather - yes, not wearing heavy fragrances - boo! 🥰
❄although I'm tired of snow lol Tyger Tyger from Francesca Bianchi has to be the winner for this month because it's the scent my husband most consistently compliments.
❄️❄️❄️ The fact that your husband also loves Tyger Tyger makes it a complete winner! 🎉
❄️ great review!
Thank you! ❄️❄️❄️❄️
❄️ I have been loving overture by amouage. It is so gorgeous! I totally agree with you about being mindful of others when wearing perfumes.
❄️❄️❄️❄️ Yes, let's be mindful!
❄️ Loved watching Wonder Woman! My mom had this wide cuff bracelet that I would put on & pretend to be Wonder Woman! 😂
Hi Barb! I LOVE that! 80s memories! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
The White Pearl perfume bottle makes me think of The Girl with the pearl earing portrait. Such a beautiful bottle.
Great video like usual.❤
Thank you, Laura! Yes! I totally see that now! 😯
Hey Veronica!❤❤ been super busy but so glad I can catch fragrance awards😊
Thanks for watching! 🥰🥰🥰
White Pearl, that bottle is gorgeous
I agree! 💖
❄️ Dior Addict sounds so special! I look forward to your video V 🙂
Thank you so much! Dior Addict is an acquired taste but WONDERFUL! 💖💖💖
Love your fragrance awards!
Thank you so much! 💖💖💖
❄️Hi Veronica.
Great list. Some new ones I must get my nose on.
I am mindful of scents my loved ones don’t like. I have two I don’t own and I’ve been asked to never wear (old traumas I guess) - but most issues solved by mindful spraying or wearing when I’m on my own :)
And I entered my ultra low buy year (I’m on a mission to curate and be under the 200 bottle level by about October). I have a list of 11 allowed and I managed to buy Hale Bopp locally for a great price. Looking forward to winter in the mid year to enjoy 😁🙌
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Hale Bopp is stunning! Love it! 💖🥰
I'm so bummed if Addict is getting discontinued! It was my wedding scent and I've been babying my og bottle ever since! It does seem strange since so many of their cosmetics also have the addict name these days❄❄❄
I'm with you! Hope it's just a rumor. ❄️❄️❄️❄️
I’m currently out of town but I just had to watch my favourite monthly awards😍😍. I love that you still love your old fragrances😍😍. Who can forget the axe, we were all horrified 🤣🤣. I would really love to try Mind Games fragrances, just don’t want to blind buy them🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️. This was so much fun to watch❄️❄️. Stay gorgeous 🥰🥰
Hope you're having a great trip! 💖🥰 The axe 😵💫😵💫😵💫 I enjoy wearing my old faithfuls. 💯
❄️ I loved it!!! Thank you Veronica. Now I’ve gotta go online…!
❄️❄️❄️ Thank you! 💖💖💖
❄️ maybe the Boucheron is like CK Obsession? Or Estée Lauder Cinnabar, or something even older, like Youth Dew?
❄️❄️❄️ None of those, but thank you for the suggestions!
Love New York Nights 💙💙💙
💖💖💖💖
19:50-20:20 I agree. I work in an office but even if I didn’t I try to be mindful and especially around my mom. She is allergic to certain smells so I don’t wear anything around her when I visit.
That's considerate of you and I'm sure your mom appreciates it! 💖💖💖
❄️ loved it! I will finally be sampling House of Bo soon and can’t wait!
❄️❄️❄️ Thank you! Hope you enjoy your sampling experience! 💖
Sana by Blend Oud has been compared to Lira, Bake, etc. I absolutely love it!!! It's a great price point, too. I'm just throwing another option out there. Great video!!! 🫶 80s Girl here 🫡 ❄️
Sana is lovely! Good choice! Thank you so much, fellow 80s gal! 💖💖💖❄️❄️❄️
@VeronicaSays 🫶
❄❄❄ Love soooo many of these beauties. Thank you Veronica.
I'm so glad you enjoy them! 🥰
We are cooling off again so it’s time to wear the warmer fragrances. I always love hearing your lists ❄️❄️❄️
Yes, time to break out the cozy scents! ❄️❄️❄️ Thank you, Catherine! 🥰
❄️ my top scent this month has been Angel EDT, the 2019 version. one of the sweetest most delicious things I've ever smelled. lovely as always Veronica!
Aww how lovely! Thank you so much! 💖💖💖❄️❄️❄️
Hi Veronica ❤❄️🌹 🤗 I totally agree with you that people you care about should enjoy your scent not be repelled by it 😅 Now , when it comes to wearing a fragrance in public…you can’t please everyone, but we try anyway!
Hiiii! Yeah we don't want people hating our scent. Big open air, though? Game on! 😂
@VeronicaSays most definitely! 🙌💯😂 How's the new year treating you so far? 🤗❤️
I can't complain! Are you still traveling?
@VeronicaSays I've been in Tbilisi, Georgia . We like it here, and there are plenty of perfume shops, so I can get my sniffing needs met anytime 😂
@sweetsimpleslowlife2709 that's AWESOME! 🎉
❄️ Hi 👋 Veronica, love this series, it can never be too long...I really like French Defense and White Pearl...
Thank youuuuu! You're so kind! 💖🥰
Hi love! I'm back! I couldn't finish watching your video yesterday. So.... DIVINE MOON OMG!!!! Tory Burch has so many amazing fragrances! True gems! One of my faves was "Just like Heaven" which slipped through my fingers straight to the floor 😭, but thankfully, I could rescue some and put it into decants. Unfortunately, it's been discontinued but I wonder if it's been repackaged in this new line Divine Moon is part of (which btw, I love!). Those eggs from THOO!!!! White Pearl is precious, I haven't purchase it but I completely agree with your review. It's funny you mentioned that Luban smells odd, because I've had the exact same experience with another fragrance which also happens to be called Louban by Montale. It smells a bit "different" in the opening but after a few minutes gosh...it's the most beautiful thing. Yum Pistachio is gorgeous! And so is New York Nights, one of my favorites from Bond N9, every time I go to NY, in my bag it comes 😆. Amazing video my friend 💙💙💕💙💙
Thank you, my friend! Okay, we have to go on a mission to find out what happened with the discontinued scent! I can picture you trying to salvage what fell! 😣 White Pearl was so surprising! A viewer mentioned how gorgeous it is and I knew I had to try it. 🎉🎉🎉
@ omg 🥹 I managed to make around 8 decants from Just like Heaven but you know, it’s not the same as having the bottle even if it was half-way through 😩, same with Santal Basmati! 😖. Yea and yes, White Pearl is glorious 🤩🤌💜💜
Hi beautiful Veronica! Let me enjoy this video! Sending you hugs ! 🤗 🥰
Thank you! Sending hugs back! 💖💖💖
@ 🥰🤗
❄️Si Intense is one of my favorites. It's sitting on my fragrance tray for January. It's perfect for the colder months.❄️
❄️❄️❄️ Do you have the newer one in the clear bottle of the older black bottle?
@VeronicaSays the newer one in the clear bottle. I've not been able to find the black one, but I'm looking!
The clear bottle one is significantly better, in my opinion! Skip the black bottle unless you just want to explore it.
❄️ I love most of the fragrance you picked. Thank you for sharing
❄️❄️❄️ Thank you!
Pausing the video to say “expensurous” needs to be added to the perfume lexicon 😂 okay, back to the video!
Haha I know! It needs to be a thing now! 🎉
Thank you for the Jomashop tip. Black Orchid is an all timer for me, excited to finally have a full bottle. I just ordered a travel size of By Your Side EDP by Tsu Lange Yor, it’s a new release curated by pop singer Troye Sivan I thought you might be interested in? I’ve never heard of the brand before, fingers crossed it’s a winner.
Wonderful! Hope you enjoy your new goodies! 💖💖💖
Hey Veronica! I was just looking at Dior Addict. It’s going on my tray in February
I love Addict!! It is a classic for a reason! 🥰🥰🥰
I love me some overture! And you are right.. it’s prob not a safe blind buy😊
Agree! Beautiful nonetheless! 💖
❄️ enjoyed your picks!
❄️❄️❄️ I'm glad! THANK YOU!
❄️❄️❄️ I love New York Nights, one of my favorites.
It's quite lovely! 💖
I bought Dior Addict and Bergamot and Hinoki on your recommendation. I love both of them. Overture is next on my wish list.
I'm glad you're enjoying those! 🥰 Hope Overture is also a win. 💖💖💖
❄️ Always here for it ❤
❄️❄️❄️ Thank you so much! 💖
Received my first bottle of Green Stravaganza today! Can't wait to try it!
Let me know what you think! Hope you enjoy it! 💖💖💖
@ I just sprayed and I love it so far! Sort of grassy, lightly musky.Bright!
@@VeronicaSays I get tea instead of coffee!
@@carolchmielewski5313glad you enjoy it! Woohoo! 🎉
Hi V! I watched the entire video, but did I miss the bottle declutter mentioned in the title? Great video as always; they feel like a real treat to me. I am always very interested in what you have to say ❤️. I got great news this week: we have a store now that has started carrying Mindgames here in The Netherlands! And they have great discovery sets as well. But what's even more surprising: the price point is considerably lower than what US buyers are paying. A bottle from the "regular" collection costs about €270. I am thinking of buying the two discovery sets.
The one perfume that surprised me this month is Sweetly Known. I blind bought it with some trepidation, and at first sniff I thought it was a fail. But within hour I couldn't stop smelling my hand. It is a very Christmas-y scent, but I am still wearing it and I love it!
I don't know if you remember, but I told you I was on the hunt for my "white whale" which was Midnight Poison. And I am happy to tell you the sexiest fragrance this month for me is Midnight Poison which I picked up for a great, great bargain! You should see the prices on Ebay 😱. I was able to get a 50 ml, new in blister for €150. Wow, what a fragrance. Not for the faint of heart!
Oh, and you look super sexy today!
Wow! Enjoy shopping Mind Games. The prices here are bananas 🍌😳 Sweetly Known is super strong. Glad you're enjoying it! And congrats on finding Midnight Poison! Woot woot! 🎉🎉🎉 Thanks for the compliment. 💖 The declutter... it's the generic title I use for all fragrance awards. Quatre Iconic is on the chopping block... we'll see how wear #2 goes. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful selection of tray you have here. I ❤❤Si Og and overture from Amouage ❄️❄️❄️
❄️❄️❄️ Thank you! Great choices!
