*27:58** "...this fragrance is absolutely divine."* Could not agree more. I'm a man and I love Portrait Of A Lady. Those around me, not so much lol. They say I smell like a grandma, but I think it smells sexy on a woman and sophisticated on a man. It has such a commanding presence.
Wow! You are the best! To get up at 4am, prepare for jury duty while making sure we had a mishmas vlog shows how committed you are! Thank you for recommendations on all these fragrances. I hope jury duty wasn’t too bad. ❤️🎄
Michele, this is one of my favorite videos, (and you know i love them all, ) just in the past couple of years i have come to appreciate fragrances more and more. thank you so much
Hola Dear Michele! Mishmas day 15!!! Butters is so adorable and I hope Lara had a great trip back home. Love Chanel Coco noir, it is one of my favorites for special occasions!! ❤
I'm like Butters & looking for Laura too! I adored Laura & love the dynamic you two share. Michele, perfume can last 10-20 yrs+ if stored out of light & normal temperatures. I can't wait to try that Armani perfume!
Hi Michele, sadly Channel fragrances are excluded from the Sephora sale. I used to work in Sephora on the fragrance counter. However, I love with your winter selection and the wonderful way you described all the scents. Also, I am Bulgarian and can confirm that the Bulgarian rose is very unique, you either love it or hate it. We are the only country in the world which is producing Rosa Damascena which is used in some of the biggest brands such as Channel and Dior. Sending love from Florida ❤❤❤
My 2nd best combo for Chanel Noir is with the L'eau EDP. I predominantly put on the L'eau then finish with Noir. I feel the L'eau starts the high notes then they blend together for the middle notes which ends with the Noir being soft and moody at the end of the day... where you get a cozy feeling. The Noir lotion and the Mademoille lotion is also a great combination. It basically does the same but in lotion form for when you want a luxurious lotion after the shower.
Miss Butters looks so cute in front of the fireplace. I just got the jury postcard. I wouldn’t be too put out, since I just retired, but I am having surgery a month later ( my second knee replacement;OUCH)so, probably could get out of it due to this. It is a duty for citizens, but I used to work with a woman, who ended up on jury duty during the Christmas season and it was a rape/murder trial, so she was traumatized hearing about the horrific crime, for weeks. She got her salary because we were union RNs, but she had 6 children, who did a lot of Irish dancing, that she also did and taught it, and holidays are peak performing times.
Love your new haircut and your friendship with Laura. Also love your laughter with each other. What the lipstick are you wearing? The color looks one of the best on you.
My absolute favourite winter fragrance is Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan, very deep and powerful scent. It lasts soo long on the skin i love it ! I think you will like it too ! 😊
Nevada doesn’t let you choose your deferral date? Brutal. 😂 I love layering the TF with of all things Laura Mercier Gourmand Amber Vanilla. When I do that people ask me what I’m wearing. I love intoxicated too by Killian. So good. ❤
Thanks for sharing this as I was looking for something new for the winter. I’m definitely going to check out the Chanel and the especially the Kilian. I have loved every one of them I’ve purchased thus far! Safe travels to Laura and hope your jury duty is short and sweet.
I’m happy that you got the Eau Campagne shower gel by Sisley, it’s a great way to discover a CLASSIC! Eau Campagne is one of my all time favorite summer fragrances. I’ve been buying it since forever! It’s dry yet fresh yet clean, it’s a classic Sisley style of fragrance that is just FILLED with lushes Oak Moss. (My favorite note😍).
I love Mishmas! Thank your for doing this, I look forward to it every year. I also love your haircut and love when you do the salon vlog. I worked in a few very high end salons (70's 80's) and the Vegas guy has great technique and beautiful hands. Also I had no idea that using huge brushes to set blowouts was still a thing! Very cool.
Oud for Greatness and Portrait Of A Lady are my top drawer fragrances. Glad that those are your picks as well. May I add another winter fave - “By the Fireplace” by Margiela.
Just purchased Oud for Greatness. I own Baccarat 540 and I absolutely adore it so hopefully I love this one as well. Thank you for your recommendations.
I just found the Oud for Happiness last week! It really is nice!! They have it in a candle too! Im going to have to go smell Portrait of a Lady now! 😅 Nice recommendations! 🙌
shopping in Las Vegas must be so much fun with all the glitz and glamour. London is great but it has seen better years. I hope Jury Duty is interesting and allows you a break even though it may be exhausting if that makes sense.
Hello from Bangkok, Michele 😊 Here is quite warm so it’s difficult for me to wear many ones of your list except L’Immensite LV. I feel it has a sparkling and fresh vibe, very unisex, I love it ❤ Another one which can wear in warm & cold period is Eau de Soir Sisley, if you love Chypre style. Happy December 🎉⭐️
Outstanding recommendations as usual, what’s the name of the Armani perfume. I’m trying to find it on their site because they’re currently having a 25% off sale.
Hi Michelle, I went to check the Armani perfume in the store in Singapore today. It definitely smells like church and I love it! It reminds me of my grandma too - but the SA told me that it is not available in Asia - only Europe ☹️ thanks for sharing. ❤
Have you tried Cuir Améthyste from Armani Privé? It is a leather, obviously, with a marvelous twist. I think you’d also enjoy Rose de Vert from Louis Vuitton. Again, there is a pronounced leather accord. Yet another deep fragrance that I love is Sisley’s Eau de Soir. It is magnetic; I’m stopped constantly when I wear it by people asking what fragrance I’m wearing. It must be worn on the skin as it reacts to the wearer’s chemistry. Don’t form an opinion by sniffing the bottle.
So if you love coca cola trying the perfume Tonka Cola by Mancera is a must….and maybe Ingenious Ginger by Goldfield and Banks would be a winner for you❤
I just had jury duty on Halloween!! Luckily I wasn’t picked for the trial though. Btw, absolutely LOVE the haircut!! And I bought those 3 Act + Acre hair products based on your recommendation. I love the smell!! Sad Laura is gone; I think she and her doll eye are adorable!! ❤️
My favourite perfume Baccarat: The woody scent releases a poetic alchemy, a highly condensed and graphic olfactory signature. Breezy jasmine facets, radiant saffron boost the ambergris mineral notes and the woody tones of freshly-cut cedar. Bright and sleek, Baccarat Rouge 540 eau de parfum caresses the skin like an amber and woody floral whisper. But I can't afford it 😢😭
I’m curious, do you wear your perfume directly on your skin or spray on your clothes. I know everyone does it differently and some are allergic to it directly sprayed on their skin. Thank you. ❤
I've followed your perfume recommendations before and have found some incredible scents. I had to try the Armani and the Harmonist. They haven't arrived yet but I'm sure I'm going to, once again, agree with your fabulous descriptions and conclusions. Thank you. And, like Ms. Butters, I also miss Lara. Oh, and sorry about the jury duty. Yes, it is part of being an American citizen but it can be so unbearably tedious.
Going to miss Lara, yes please, bring her back any time! Did she end up not liking her Diptique fragrance still? That’s so unfortunate:( I usually try to never buy a fragrance right away when I test it in store. I have to go outside actually and wear it a bit and a couple of times I came back right away for the fragrance, but still I had it on my skin for more than 2 minutes and I got a sense of it outdoors. That’s important to really see if the fragrance sits well with you. This new haircut of yours holds up so nicely. Beautifully done
I'm going to blame Lara for me finally purchasing the Dr Jart BB cream! It looked so good on her too that I ultimately caved! Should be here before Christmas.
i have been trying to find a "winter" perfume for ages and have failed miserably so far. tried Tonka25 by LeLabo but couldn't handle the stuff (yes, i'm that soft)
Next time you're at an Aqua di Parma counter, smell Mandorlo di Sicilia fragrance. It literally smells like root beer. I dont know why, but I think you'd get a kick out of it since you appreciate the cola scents lol 😂
Good Friday night 🌃 Michele going to the GK hockey 🏒 game tonight so I'm watching n9w while I'm getting ready hope you're getting all new Parfums that you like ❤👍🙋♀️💕💋
Hi Michele. I'm sorry that you got called for jury duty during Mishmas. My ears perked up when I heard perfume. I'm also sorry that Laura left. She seems like such a sweetheart. And her baking! My cats do the same thing with their blankets! Butters is beyond precious. May I add a word of advice, never keep fragrances in the bathroom. The steam from the shower or tub, can destroy the perfumes. They should be kept in a cool, dry place. The Armani perfume bottle is gorgeous. Have you tried the new Jimmy Choo perfume, I want Choo! I think that you'd like it. Anything with oud strikes my interest. Bruce generously gifted me for Chanukah the large bottle of the Baccarat Rouge 540. It's one of my favorites. I also picked up Paradoxe by Prada during the Black Friday sale. I love Coco Noir. I'm with you. I'm definitely not a lavender lover. The Harmonist sounds absolutely phenomenal. I may need to sample it. Wow. This was wonderful. Thanks for sharing your favorite winter fragrances. Have a wonderful weekend. 💖❤️🩷
You can bring phones/recording devices in to jury duty in Nevada? Wow! Not in Iowa. They will either send you back to your car to store it or they will confiscate it! And that’s at the front door!
And who is early today ? Why me 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤ love your collection. Dang. I have 5 😮. My man is Italian and is pronouncing all the Italian words 😂😂😂😂😂😂he was born in Naples. He was raised talking it. I’m only half
I found my favorite of all time fragrance this year Lancome NOW it just smells like me … every time I wear it people tell me I smell good lol … that’s never happened to me before 😂🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Deepest apologies, but Chanel Fragrances are excluded from the Sephora Sale! Thank you to the viewer who tipped me off!
Aww man! I wanted to try that one too since you mentioned it was so good
Jury duty creates challenges, but let's not forget how powerful a duty that is for us as citizens.
So true! Also, it is about someones life!!! It might be a challege for you but REALLY important for another person.
*27:58** "...this fragrance is absolutely divine."*
Could not agree more.
I'm a man and I love Portrait Of A Lady. Those around me, not so much lol.
They say I smell like a grandma, but I think it smells sexy on a woman and sophisticated on a man. It has such a commanding presence.
Wow! You are the best! To get up at 4am, prepare for jury duty while making sure we had a mishmas vlog shows how committed you are! Thank you for recommendations on all these fragrances. I hope jury duty wasn’t too bad. ❤️🎄
Loveeee your fragrance videos! It’s been a while! 😍🥰
Hi Michele!! Your hair cut is nice! I feel the layers are just right. Msbutters adorable. 🎄❣️

Thank you so much! Just pinned a comment letting everyone know! xoxo
Chanel is my number 1 favourite fragrance house. I think you'd like Cuir de Russie, such a gentle, majestic leather 😍
Lash Clash mascara is the only product I’ve received in a subscription box or Advent calendar that I’ve liked so much that I bought a full size.
I loved Lash Clash! Glad I have it again in the deluxe sample as I used my full size version
Your videos are relaxing to me for some reason lol 😊
Oh and Oud for Greatness and Baccaerat share that juicy saffron note so that’s why it has a similar feel to it. It is delicious
My 2nd best combo for Chanel Noir is with the L'eau EDP. I predominantly put on the L'eau then finish with Noir.

Portrait Of A Lady is my love of loves. ❤️
Ombre Leather is one of my favorite fragrances ❤

I think you will like it too ! 😊
Nevada doesn’t let you choose your deferral date? Brutal. 😂 I love layering the TF with of all things Laura Mercier Gourmand Amber Vanilla. When I do that people ask me what I’m wearing. I love intoxicated too by Killian. So good. ❤
Thanks for sharing this as I was looking for something new for the winter. I’m definitely going to check out the Chanel and the especially the Kilian. I have loved every one of them I’ve purchased thus far! Safe travels to Laura and hope your jury duty is short and sweet.
I've been loving getting the newsletter and blog - thank you. It's always such a nice surprise to break up the work day.
Wonderful thank you!
Love the Hair Michele!
I love the way you describe fragrance. Thanks for the treat.
Hombre Leather is my favorite scent!!!

Oud for Greatness and Portrait Of A Lady are my top drawer fragrances. Glad that those are your picks as well.
May I add another winter fave - “By the Fireplace” by Margiela.
Thank you for this video ❤ it’s really interesting to hear you talk about perfume 🙂
I just discovered Killian fragrances. Love them. I want to try Portrait of a Lady because you have talked about it a few times.
Just purchased Oud for Greatness. I own Baccarat 540 and I absolutely adore it so hopefully I love this one as well. Thank you for your recommendations.
I loved it please do a entire collection video haul of ur perfume
I like your lipstick in this video. Is that the Chanel one?
I love The Harmonist perfumes! Thank you for recommending the Armani fragrance, have to get a hold of the sample now
Love Butters! My Pomeranian does that same thing 😂❤ hope you have a wonderful day!
I just found the Oud for Happiness last week! It really is nice!! They have it in a candle too! Im going to have to go smell Portrait of a Lady now! 😅 Nice recommendations! 🙌
I think you might like Eleventh Hour by Byredo. It smells like dry spices with no sweetness; like walking through a spice market in the summertime.
shopping in Las Vegas must be so much fun with all the glitz and glamour. London is great but it has seen better years. I hope Jury Duty is interesting and allows you a break even though it may be exhausting if that makes sense.
Kilian put Boys in a new bottle and it's available in Canada so it must be in the States
You look absolutely beautiful! Love your haircut❤
Thanks so much!
I’ve been exploring coffret sets of perfumes. All the fun bottles in mini sizes. I just got the Hermes ones from Sephora. So much fun. 💕🐾💕🎅🏻
Hello from Bangkok, Michele 😊 Here is quite warm so it’s difficult for me to wear many ones of your list except L’Immensite LV. I feel it has a sparkling and fresh vibe, very unisex, I love it ❤ Another one which can wear in warm & cold period is Eau de Soir Sisley, if you love Chypre style. Happy December 🎉⭐️
My favorite fragrance is Fleurs de Rocaille, by Caron. It just smell really good on me!
HelloI Please tell me what polish you use to get that completely gorgeous chrome look? Thanks
It’s called Chrome over gel
Love your nail polish. Also my fav is replica by the fireplace but I hit a sample of jazz club and was obsessed with them together. Sad I ran out 😢
my favorite is Dancing On the Moon. I wore it when I got married ❤
I have always wanted to know what fragrances you like 👍👍👍👍❤
oud for greatness is the most beautiful oud ever. cannot get into poal despite multiple attempts. carnal flower is my #1 of all time.
Outstanding recommendations as usual, what’s the name of the Armani perfume. I’m trying to find it on their site because they’re currently having a 25% off sale.
Oh that Armani perfume. A beautiful description, Michele.
Not sure why, but the sound changes when you went to the advent calendars then changed back when the you went to YSL and Diptyque. Weird?
Hi Michelle, I went to check the Armani perfume in the store in Singapore today. It definitely smells like church and I love it! It reminds me of my grandma too - but the SA told me that it is not available in Asia - only Europe ☹️ thanks for sharing. ❤

Don’t form an opinion by sniffing the bottle.
Oud for Greatness is incredible on its own and when layered. Personally, I love to layer it with Scherzo by Miller Harris. 🥰
It’s midnight already?
❤ you Michele
I love that cup. Do you know where it's from?
So if you love coca cola trying the perfume Tonka Cola by Mancera is a must….and maybe Ingenious Ginger by Goldfield and Banks would be a winner for you❤
If you want another cola smelling fragrance, try Mancera’s Tonka Cola. It’s cherry cola but a sophisticated cola lol
I’ve been meaning to tell her about that one too!!
Roja Enigma Pour Homme (not Femme), the ultimate fizzy coca-cola smell 🥤
As a woman I wear both Enigma pour homme parfum and the pour homme cologne 😋
I just had jury duty on Halloween!! Luckily I wasn’t picked for the trial though. Btw, absolutely LOVE the haircut!! And I bought those 3 Act + Acre hair products based on your recommendation. I love the smell!! Sad Laura is gone; I think she and her doll eye are adorable!! ❤️

I usually spray above me in a “halo”.

Thank you! ❤
Oh, Laura left 😢. I was so enjoying seeing her. You’re very lucky to have such a good friend.
I’m not sure you can take any of those devices into the courthouse
Your haircut looks amazing really polished also your friend was fabulous
wow
You can bring phones/recording devices in to jury duty in Nevada? Wow! Not in Iowa. They will either send you back to your car to store it or they will confiscate it! And that’s at the front door!
turns out my cat really likes butters. he left my lap to go stand in front of the tv and stare when she was on screen
And who is early today ? Why me 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤ love your collection. Dang. I have 5 😮. My man is Italian and is pronouncing all the Italian words 😂😂😂😂😂😂he was born in Naples. He was raised talking it. I’m only half
I have gotten 3 summons and have been cancelled twice and excused the first time as the defendant plead guilty.
Butters the donut 🍩
L'autre: "r" is pronounced as "h" in French. So it's laut-he. Another example is Hermés -- "e-h-mez". Kinda weird i know.
I found my favorite of all time fragrance this year Lancome NOW it just smells like me … every time I wear it people tell me I smell good lol … that’s never happened to me before 😂🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
