Hello friends! 🥰 Which fragrances do you consider to be masterpiece status? Drop a note in the comments below. ⬇️
Veronica! You are a masterpiece! ♥️
No, YOU are! 💖💖💖
Agreed❣️
@@VeronicaSays As Richard says you are a masterpiece. in fact through you I strive to be,a better person. thanks Veronica ❤️ ❤
@@thefragrantician aaaawww thank you Gabi! You are already WONDERFUL! 💖💖💖
I agree
I never stopped to think of Dior Addict as a masterpiece but yes! I have the long lost original. It’s about 14 years old and just as beautiful as ever. One spray lasts literal DAYS! Portrait of A Lady is my number one!
Hi Michelle! You're so lucky to have an original formulation! POAL is a strong one! Thanks for watching. 🥰💖
I wish I had the original. The reformulated version is like a shadow of its former self.
Everytime you mention Dune I think of my mother in her green matching top and bottom end of the nineties with her matching off white shoes and bag! 😆 Scents are the best way to bring back memories! 🥰 It’s hard for me to say if it’s a masterpiece or not because I change my mind so often about a perfume. One day I love it and one day I can hate it.. 🤷🏻♀️ But I would say that By the fire place could qualify. I always hated smelling smoke and I love this one so I don’t know how they did it! Have a great weekend beautiful! 🌞
Ah! Love the memory of your mom wearing Dune with the outfit you described. I can "picture" it! 💖💖💖 I know what you mean and how feelings about fragrance can change from one day to another. By the Fireplace is a strong contender, for sure! 👍 Have a good one.
I love the green top/bottom off white shoe memory!! By the Fireplace is THE BEST!!
Your reviews and descriptions are masterful!!!! 🥰❤️ What a beautifully curated list, Veronica! Thank you so much for sharing. 💖
Hi Brooke! Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it. 🥰💖
I loved this video! You describe fragrance like a master storyteller! Loved your pics. Ahhh Dune, Calyx, Amarige, classic favs of mine!
Thank you soooo much! So glad you share an appreciation for some of the classic beauties! 💖🥰
I forgot to say how BEAUTIFUL you look! Love that eye on you and your blouse is fab!
Thank you kindly! You are too sweet. 💖💖💖
I just ordered Angel's Share after loving the Dua Clone for a few months now! I'm so glad you think it's a masterpiece, it makes me feel validated of my choice! Cant wait to receive it!
Awwww I think it's a really special fragrance. Glad you ordered a full bottle! 🥰💖
I love these kinds of segments, Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching. 💖💖💖
Definitely feel the same as you about Angel share ,Solell blanc and of course I’m thrilled to see my favourite Terracotta on your list 😍I’m so happy it’s still readily available here ,I’m on my back up bottle already
Yesss! I wish Terracotta was more widely sold. Too bad so many can't get it!
Fabulous and entertaining Veronica! So many more to add to my wish dream list! Ay! A pleasure to hear you, have a lovely day. Ciao!!
Thank you kindly, Alma! You are so sweet. 💖🥰
Looking beautiful Veronica 😍 I remember wearing Amarige in the 90's, think I'll re buy. Terracotta is a must have ☀
Hi Louise! Thank you so much. 🥰💖 Yes, grab a bottle of Amarige for old time's sake! A lovely creation!
I love Dior addict so much !! It makes me feel happy and special each time I wear it! Great video 🤗❤️
Thanks Nadia! Addict is THAT fragrance. 💯👍
Lovely look in this video especially your eye makeup! Yes no denying these pics are masterpieces ✨many of my faves
Hi Donna!! Thank you so much! 💖🥰 And I'm glad you agree on some of the choices! 🥳🎉
YES!!! Love this selection!!!🤩🤩🤩And you look simply stunning - the makeup, hair, jewelry and clothes are GAWJUSS!!! Well done, beautiful!!!💜💜💜
Awww thanks so much, my friend! Glad you enjoyed the video. 💖🥰
Veronica, you are a great joy to watch! Love the list - so fascinating! Love to see chapter #2, if you forgot anything! ❤️🌹
Thank you so much, Julie! 🥰💖 I am already brewing up a second one. There are many artistic achievements among the shelves that deserve recognition! 👍👍👍
Hi Veronica! Very classy list. Fracas is 1000% a masterpiece. The queen of white flowers. Germaine Cellier was an astounding woman. I will always have a bottle of Fracas. Even though I personally cannot wear it, Bandit is also a masterpiece perfume. Very ahead of its time.
Thank you so much, Tatiana! There is nothing like Fracas, that I am aware of. I have Bandit also and agree that it is a special fragrance. 🥰💖
@@VeronicaSays Veronica, you must try Dreamhouse Ikiryo scents!! I just ordered a bunch of the Ikiryo samples off of perfumology! That is where you can sample them. "Chococognac" is my favorite so far. If you like chocolate, you gotta try! I think the notes are chocolate/white chocolate/ylang-ylang/incense/cognac!
Looking absolutely stunning cuz!! Ok let me watch ❤️
Hi my sweet Marcy!! Thank you 💖🥰
This was so fun to watch and so many great fragrances! I am committed to going down an internet rabbit hole to find Calyx by Prescriptives. I will report back!! Also… Shamal for life! Beautiful as always. Wonderful video!! ✌🏽🕺🏼♥️
Awww thanks my friend! You know I love a great rabbit hole chase! And yessssss, Shamal 4eva!!! Thanks so much. 💖💖💖
I thoroughly enjoyed this video Vee💕😊 loads of masterpieces and fragrances for me to discover
Hi doll! 💖🥰 Thanks so much for watching and glad you found a few new ones to explore! 🎉
So many standouts here, Veronica. Dior Addict! That is the signature scent of my late, little sister. I call that one heavenly now. My wife keeps a small bottle on hand and I'll smell it on occasion. Always makes me feel like my sister is watching over me. That one will always be associated with her, and it will always have special meaning to me.
Hi Rudy! Thanks for sharing this special memory with us! May your sister rest in heavenly peace! 💖💖💖
Omg...your necklace is a masterpiece too😍😍😍 and so are you💗
Awww thank you gorgeous!! It's made by definedluxejewelry.com. Check out the site - owned by Giselle from GB Fragrances. 🥰💖
Yes ! I love my Dior addict ❤️ I even have a vintage bottle
Hi Tanya! Oh a vintage bottle! You are so lucky! 💖🥰
Veronica, I love this. I don’t know what constitutes a masterpiece either but even with my allergies I still follow my nose and can smell one. I love so many of these and, yes, they are masterpieces. I don’t know what a rich lady or an old lady smells like either. It’s all relative and should be based on the joy one takes from their fragrances.
First, your description of Saffron Lazuli is everything I was unable to articulate. It’s a stunner! I have to give credit to Dr. Rose because she sent me decants of the whole line and those fragrances are amazing. I now have six of them. Sandal Ruby included. Dior Addict is backup bottle worthy and I really need to pull the trigger and get Terracotta.
I was just watching one of Richard’s videos last night. He’s such an amazing human being and I totally trust his recommendations.
I’ll definitely be looking into some more of these. Thanks sunshine and have a great weekend.
Thank you so much!! How kind of Dr. Rose to share decants of the Confidential line - it's simply spectacular and the bottles are getting harder to find. This whole thing we do where we say fragrances smell like this kind of person or that is both helpful and totally ridiculous, right? 🤦♀️ And yet I do it all the time. I'm so glad you are enjoying Richard as a human and a fragrance reviewer - he is a special one and I adore him! And I adore YOU! Thank you so much for your continued support and fragrance friendship. 🥰💖
Love your makeup. Great video !
Thank you soooo much!! 🥰💖
I loved that you included 'Angel's Share' (I have a sample 💛...also the Dua dupe, 'Angel Elixir'..sweeter than Killian's tho)
And our much loved Lancome alchemist's delight, 'L'autre Oud'... still a wonder of blends! I love the Berber Roses more tho ☺️
I agree, YOU are the masterpiece Veronica...thanks for the love you bring to everyone 😘
Awwww thank you Crystal Clear, what a sweet comment. 💖🥰 Angels' Share and L'Autre Oud are special fragrances! Are you thinking of Roses Berberanza as you fave?
Fantastic video!!!as usual. . Dune is my pick we agree on but. I think Dior addict and Gucci Rush are one of a kind.
Thanks so much! Glad you love Dune and a few others too. 🥰💖
WOW!!!! AWESOME DESCRIPTION FOR SAFFRON L'AZULI
Thank you! 🥰💖
Veronica , your palette is very sophisticated. Great work 🤗❣💯
Hi June! Thank you so much! 🥰💖
Im fragrance obsessed. Iv been loving your channel / your videos, you have great taste, and recommendations. ♡ I'm a fan.
Awww thank you so much, Kristen!! I really appreciate this sweet comment! 🥰💖
I missed this video when you posted it 🤷♀️it popped up in my suggestion feed today ,so YT is doing it’s thing for a change 👍
Aww it's okay! We can't possibly watch them all, but thanks for coming back to this one. 😘😘😘
Great list - your descriptions are so compelling. I think Chanel No 19 and L’eau De Hiver are masterpieces, along with Dune.
Thank you so much! I've never tried L'eau de Hiver. Thanks for weighing in 🥰🥰🥰
Awww, Amarige! I used to wear that one in 1995! My dad LOVED that one on women!
You and your dad had GREAT tastes! 🥰🥰🥰
@@VeronicaSays Dad chased a woman down in an airport YEARS and years ago to ask her what perfume she had on- it was Avon's Sweet Honesty, lol. I also chased down a woman in the Corpus Christi airport once- she was wearing Pink Sugar, lol. I know it's made fun of, but I STILL LOVE IT!
Masterfully done, I really enjoyed this video💕💕 although I’m not big on leather, I do have a couple fragrances i enjoy with it but the way you described Saffron Lazuli has me🤔😮🤩
and I couldn’t agree more, Soleil Blanc is a luxurious summer goddess😍😍 love it!!
Thank you, Evelyn! I know not many ladies love leather. This one is gentle and may appeal to you. That Soleil Blanc... ooooh. Soooo good! 💖🥰
Yes, Fracas is a masterpiece. ❤️❤️❤️this fragrance🙏🏿😊
Wonderful! It's amazing 👏 😍 🙌
Hi love I’m ready to see which masterpiece I need to add to my collection. Looking beautiful as always.
Thank you Nika! 💖🥰
I love this video!! Angel’s Share is definitely a Masterpiece in my opinion and a fragrance I could drown myself in. For some reason, it is a beast on me and projects like crazy. Lucky me!! ❤️
Hey Jackie! Totally! Angels' Share is pretty awesome. I get good longevity also - I really appreciate this fragrance! 🥰💖
Hi Veronica 🤗🤗 Thanks so much for another awesome video.. I looooove Terracotta & have 5 backups. Such a wonderful fragrance. Greetings from Switzerland, Barbara 🤗🥰
Barbara!! Five backups! Wow - you are serious! 😁😁😁 Thank you so much. I hope to visit Switzerland one day soon! 💕💕💕
@@VeronicaSays I’m definitely very serious 🙈😅😅 A girl’s gotta do what she’s gotta do😉😅😅 I do hope you come one day. I know you”d love it. 🤗🤗🥰🥰
I really enjoy watching your video 🤩
Thank you Divya! 💖💖💖
Yep. Dior Addict. 😉❤️
I mean, how could I not include it?!
Dior Addict definitely belongs! 😍
I would have to think more BUT Gourmand Coquin immediately comes to mind 🤤
Hi J! Yes, that is definitely a strong masterpiece contender!! 🥰💖
Girl nobody gives Terracotta the credit it deserves! Thank you for this! I need to get my nose on the Malibu fragrance as I love my Virgin Island Water.
Hi Sharida! Yes, Terracotta is the summer QUEEN, okay?! You must try Malibu Party in the Bay. I'd like to try the other Simone Andreoli fragrances too - they seem spectacular all around! 🎉🎉🎉
Hello beautiful Veronica. I missed you . Cannot wait to see this video.
Hi Pat! Missed you back! Hope to see more videos from you soon. 💖🥰
Ooohhh!!! I loved this! Hearing you talk about fragrances that you consider masterpieces is a thrill for me. It's ESPECIALLY thrilling since we share THREE of them, and thanks you to you and our pickle-y friends I've sniffed others of these. I loved this, and I love you. ❤️
Which three???? Coffee Addict, Dior Addict, and... ? Thanks for watching, my sweet friend! 🥰🥰🥰
@@VeronicaSays DUNE!!! :) I know it's changed since I wore it back in the day. It used to be sweeter somehow? I only wear it in November and December now. Ryan doesn't love it, but it holds a special place in my heart.
@@VeronicaSays 2/3. Go to the top of the class!!!
Oh, duh. I knew that, right? 🤗🤗🤗
Dune brings back memories of my oldest sister. She really loved this fragrance.
It's such a distinctive scent! Thanks for watching! 🥰🥰🥰
Oh, Veronica....you've got me wanting to try all these perfumes! I think I would really like Dune, and the Santal Ruby....
Hi Sarah Ann! They are worth sampling. You'll either love or hate these two fragrances - I'd be curious to know your impressions. 💖🥰
Wow Dune, that was a blast from the past, and the Dior did Dolce Vita not long after. Those were some power early 90s scents for sure
Absolutely! The early 90s has some amazing releases. 💖🥰
What a terrific video Veronica! I haven't smelled most of those so can't comment to them but my selection would be Olympic Orchids SonnetXVII. I have loved this for years and always thought it was genius, not like anything I have smelled before or since - it's definitely not for everyone though. It has orchid but also a very prominent stables/barnyard/earthy scent that is nostalgic for me and very intoxicating. It's definitely odd and animalic but is also quite pretty.
Hi Kate! Thank you so much! 🥰💖 I love odd and different scents. Thank you for sharing the name of this fragrance - I am off to look it up!! 👍
Wow, how interesting. I have L'Autre Oud in the original bottle but was disappointed with it not living up to the praise for me. I guess I'll have to see if I can learn to understand it better?! Some wonderful frags on your list, Veronica 👍 2002 Dior Addict is also a stunner. I personally find it hard to label frags as 'masterpieces' bc almost nothing is new or unique anymore, so very few really stand out to that degree. But even if not totally unique, some frags do deserve such recognition, and there's two that I class as masterpieces. They've lasted through the decades and are still relevant and are still so incredibly amazing, and they are the OG Dior Poison - one of the best tuberose fragrances (or just best fragrances) ever created imo, and Joop! Femme. What an outstanding fragrance - there's nothing else like it. I have a vintage bottle of Joop! and it's unreal - I adore it! Also agree on Fracas (TorD is close but not the same). As for artistic, 'non mainstream' fragrances, from my collection is Bis by Rodin Olio Russo. I love it (successful blind buy) but it's very much an acquired taste. Great quality and unique, and it smells amazing to me, so I guess I'd sweep that into the masterpiece category as well. 😍👍 PS just reading some of the comments below mine and I have to agree that OG Opium would also fit into the masterpiece category for it's bravado when it was created, such a wow fragrance of its time, and is still not only relevant, but in production today, albeit reformulated. Shame the original formula has been castrated but c'est la vie. Sign of the times.
Hi Veronica 💗 OMG Yay!! can’t wait to see which perfumes you deem Masterpieces 🤩 your skin is looking amazing by the way Veronica 😍✨ I love Angels Share, That’s my Xmas perfume m so happy Kilian came out with a travel size, Once I’m through with my five ml decant, I’m definitely copping a travel. Yes Aura definitely is so unique and beautiful! Man I would have to say the og formulation of angel blew me away and to me is definitely a masterpiece 😍
Hi Tami!! 🥰 Thank you so much! Angel AND Alien both belong on the list - the originals - for so many reasons. Amazing and iconic fragrances. Angels' Share is special - a perfect Christmas scent for sure. 💖💖💖
I love this list, especially the ones that I also own🤩😍👌. Sandal Ruby, Angels’ Share and Soleil Blanc (travel spray)😍😍. I would love to try Aura but I’m so scared, looks quite gothic to me😉🤔🧐. I’ve also sampled Saffron Lazuli and Latre Oud and they are both gorgeous😍😍. Awesome video as always👌👌. Stay gorgeous🥰🥰.
Hi Pinkie! I love that you have such a diverse collection of fragrances. Don't be afraid of Aura! It's really a lovely and interesting fragrance. 🥰🥰🥰
Love u really reminds of 80s - 90s kind of next door girl and the perfumes back then... These perfume reviews took me to my teens.... Thanks dear.
Thank you and sooo glad you enjoyed the video! 💖💖💖
Hello Veronica, another great video...thank you. Dune is timeless, and just like Dior Poison the OG very intimidating and require courage to rock them.. To me it is oceanic, hot sand, floral, sensual...if the line where the sky meets sand and ocean has a scent it would be Dune. Although Dune has no lavender I still get the vibes of Mon Guerlain Intense.
Thank you Fatima! Oh WOW! What a fascinating description of Dune! Thanks for sharing that imagery! 🥰🥰🥰
I completely forgot about Calyx!!! I used to love that fragrance for hot summer days… something about it always reminded me of a Prickly Pear Margarita 🤗💕
Oh my goodness! Yes! Great description! There is something very Joshua Tree-esque to me about it. 💖💖💖
You look lovely. I always enjoy your videos. ❤
Awww thanks so much, Kim!! 💖💖💖
Got 5 of them 😘 Great video Veronica👍💖
Is that right? Awesome, Dorte! 💖🥰🎉
Coming to watch after your second installment went up.
Hope you enjoyed it! 🥰
Hiiiiii! I'm just getting into Terracotta, was'nt sure about it in the beginning but its growing on me.❤️
Hi Nadine! I had the same experience and now I crave it. So weird!
When you talk about a fragrance you make it so believable that I want to smell it now. I definitely have to try terricota.
Thank you. If nothing else, it's worth checking out to say you smelled it. It's a pretty summery dream.
Hi Veronica! Your selection is bomb! I have a growing list of fragrances but I have top 10 that I think are masterpieces: pure gold, gold flowers, LDBS, Rose D'Arabie/Rose Omeyyade (they smell somewhat the same 😄), coco vanille, star musk, bal d'afrique and Golden Gai. Yes, LDBS have many dupes but when I first smelled it 5 years ago I was shook 😄.
Hi there! Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed! Your list is spectacular! I'd love to check out Gold Flowers soon. 🥰💖
Fracas is certainly a masterpiece and one of my signature in the 90s. I adore Calyx I wore that one for many yearsxD
Hi Blake! Yessss 🙌🏼 You share a love of these beauties with me! 💖🥰
Another great video as always
Hugs 🤗
Thank you 💖💖💖
I have Terracotta and love it! The dry down smells just like a suntan cream from the 80’s and 90’s called Bain de Soleil. It was an orange colored jelly cream and smelled heavenly! 🙂
Yesssss 🙌 🙌 🙌 I remember and loved Bain de Soleil! Great summer scent.
I miss my bain de soleil!!!memories ..
OMG I loved that stuff. Best tan ever. Smelled amazing
Apparently Michael Kors Signature Eau de Parfum is a very similar scent
Charlotte Tillbury: just her name. I believe it is her first fragrance. It's wild and weird but nothing like it has ever been made. Also, Betsy Johnson's initial scent was Uber unique! My favorite master piece is Coco EDT. Lovely video! Thank you!
Thank you so much Jennifer! Oooooh, I have some new ones to look up. And I agree about Coco EDT. It really grew on me! 🥰💖
Hi gorgeous! I remember a time when so many people around me smelled like Caylix, including myself. I recognized that scent anywhere. Same with Amarige. ❤❤
Hey Lala! Yes, these are so easily recognizable! I agree! 👍👍👍
Masterpiece category done well. Amazing fragrances...all of them. Can we talk about your makeup for a moment? Gorgeous ❤️
Hello beautiful! Aww thank you so much! Coming from you, that means so much! 🥰🥰🥰
@@VeronicaSays I always admire you and your makeup is always flawless ❤
Thank you! And likewise! I drool over your IG posts!! 😘😘😘
Boo you are our Masterpiece ❤️😘😘✨🤗
No, YOU are! 🥰💖 Thank you, love.
Love your list. Mine would include a few more of that Carolina Herrera private line. Iris Empire, and Amethyst Haze. I love most of that line in general. ❤
It's such a fabulous line! I really want to try Iris Empire! 💖💖💖
I love this list even though I am only familiar with 3 or 4 of this list. Yet one of my all time favourites of all time made it to the list (Dior addict) so I heartly agree on masterpeice status!
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed! Dior Addict is spectacular! 💖🥰
Thanks for sharing your video take care ❤️
Thank you Pamela! 💖💖💖
HAPPY MONDAY MI AMIGAAAAA ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Happy Monday! 💖💖💖
Amarige and Sandal Ruby are just amazing, true masterpieces I haven't had a whiff of the Saffron Lazuli it sounds so good, coffee addict I imagine I would love too, I hate coffee as a drink, too bitter for me but I love its smell, especially when it is roasting.
Yes! Amarige and Sandal Ruby are 🥳🥳🥳. Coffee Addict has a lovely sweetness to it - worth trying and reasonably priced. 💖🥰
My masterpiece fragrance was Dior Midnight Poison. I never understood why that one, out of all the flankers, got discontinued.
More recent scents I have smelled are BDK Gris Charnel and Atelier Materi Cacao Porcelana - I find those both to be masterpieces and I can't wait to own them both 🖤
So many people miss Dior Midnight Poison! Hope it makes a comeback someday. Gris Charnel is a very interesting fragrance. Have you tried the extrait?
@@VeronicaSays I have not. I may get a sample. Have you tried it?
@@ems_h.eartnotes I have. It's very strong. I like it. My son thinks it smells like wet dog 😂
@@VeronicaSays lol! I like the smell of dog paws so maybe I would like it. I wanted to buy Gris Charnel for my birthday next month, but since I smelt Cacao Porcelana, I might need that one first 🤗
I dig it being episode/volume 1
There's so many more to love! 💖🥰
Hi my dear! You look stunning! Now let me enjoy this video 🤗🤗❤️
Thank you Nadia! 😘😘😘
Agree, Dior Addict does smell like a rich woman. I have memories of being around rich women at different times and places and the fragrances they wore brings that association when I smell certain scents. One of them is Dior Addict and of course Chanel No 5.
I mean... Chanel No 5! 🎉🎉🎉 Thanks for sharing Lala. 💖🥰
Great list. You’re always so genuine. I love your videos. Where do you get your CH perfumes? I didn’t realize that they didn’t sell in the US
Thank you so much! 💖🥰 I got most of the CH bottles from fragrancenet.com a while back when they were on sale. However, most are now sold out. I also go to Mercari and buy second hand.
I think that Angel and Alien are masterpieces. I have tons of niche fragrances, and I stand by these two. I love a lot of them and I don't wear Angel or Alien often, but when I do I feel special.
I agree!! Both are so unique and recognizable and made such a big impression in the perfume world! 💖🥰
Loveeee Aura, I am wearing it today.
Hi Gladys! You smell GOOD today! 🥰💖
@@VeronicaSays 💝
Mine is an odd one. L'Origan by Coty. I've never found a dupe for it. I've loved it since I was about 11 years old. I always loved how it made me feel when I wore it.
Hi Julie! Thanks for sharing! What does this one smell like?
Thank you for a very interesting video. If we consider only modern fragrances I think of Un Jardin sur le Nil as a masterpiece. We share a love for Prescriptives Calyx.
Ah! Interesting choice! Glad you love Calyx! Thanks so much for sharing! 🥰💖
Dune is a true classic !!! I have loved it for years !!!
Such a good one! Very unique and addictive. 💖🥰
You nailed it, L’Autre Oud is a masterpiece. I’m weary of cypriol but I took a chance b/c it was on sale at Lancome. So glad I did. It is pure class, elegance and opulence.
Awesome! You are the only other person who has expressed appreciation for this fragrance! 💖🥰🎉
@@VeronicaSaysnow I feel special🤭 it’s one of my most coveted scents and I feel like a million bucks with it on.
Oh! Veronica masterpieces! I’ve been meaning to make this video myself. Let’s see what you have picked!!! 👏🏻🥰❤️
Oh please do it! I would love to see what you select! 🥳🥳🥳
Had to watch this video after your new one, great picks on both! 💕
“This makes Pepto Bismol sexy” 😂💀
Thank you so much! Yes, girl! Pepto can be sexy! 😆
Felt the same way about Terracotta. First time I sprayed it, I just didn't get it. Almost sold my bottle, but decided to give it a second try before I listed it. SO glad I did. I'm now obsessed and have a back up.
Exactly!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 This was my experience too. How funny! Thanks for watching.
I still don't like it and I'm trying over a year now. I don't think it will happen for me.
@@dmloredana thanks for sharing your experience with it. Sorry it didn't work out for you!
Dior addict is definitely a masterpiece.
No doubt! A stunner.
The original Opium and L'Heure Bleu de Guerlain.
Yes, excellent choices! 💖 I wish I had thr original Opium still.
@@VeronicaSays i always ask the Dua team to do an inspired Opium because it was so unique!
Fragrances that I think are a masterpiece? Rouge Malachite by Armani Prive, Gris Dior by Dior Prive & BR 540 (sorry but yes I do!) oh & the Carolina Herrera line is incredible I have two of them and I think Sandal Ruby is darn close to being a masterpiece too! Saffron Lazuli sounds amazing tho! 💙
Love your videos Veronica!!! 🤍😘
Hi Mira! Thank you so much, and beautiful choices! No need to apologize - we love what we love! 💖💖💖
Very enjoyable video!
Thank you so much 💖🥰🎉
Boy do I agree about the Aura EDP. I am continuously regretting buying the EDT instead. I might get the EDP at this point and give the EDT to my kind. :)
I like the EDT also but find the EDP more wearable and feminine. Grab a bottle of the EDP! 👍💖
I find BR540 and Delina Exclusif to be masterpieces. They’ve been duped and over duped 😂 Especially BR540 but I always recall the first time smelling them and thinking how unique they were back then. 😍❤️
Totally! These belong on a masterpiece list! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Great episode
Thank you.
@@VeronicaSays YA2SABEEEEEE MI AMIGAAAAAA
Such a hard topic and as you stated, it's hard to decipher from classifying as a "masterpiece" to I really love it. Also, does one consider just scent and originality or include performance, sillage, projection, longevity etc. Must it check all the boxes?!?!? I can honestly find masterpieces in each house. From the CH Confidential line, Platinum Leather is masterful indeed. It is how leather should be done and it is engulfed in the most wonderful white flowers. It is heaven and dare I say my favorite of the line *gasp*. Most I will mention will forever be in my collection because they are simply the best IMO in their genre and superb compositions:
Dior Hypnotic Poison
Kayali Utopia
MFK BR540 (It was an original scent profile and although duped to exhaustion, it remains my one and only)
Amouage Love Tuberose, Material
Xeroff **** plenty to choose Italica, La Capitale
Roja Creation E
Yes, tough to tease out "I love it" from "this is a unique and special artistic achievement." Not sure I did it well, but it's a first attempt. Platinum Leather is EXQUISITE! I feel special when I wear it, but I am a leather lover so... there's THAT. Thanks for sharing the list of your masterpieces with us! 🥰💖
L'autre oud my love❤️🤗
It's soooo good! 🥰🥰🥰
Shalimar and Habit Rouge my mom always wore and I feel like they qualify as masterpieces. A masterpiece isn't always something I can wear personally, for instance, Fracas, #5, Samsara, Opium, BR540, Alien, Poison...but I respect all of these creations being that all of them were groundbreaking in some way! Unique scent profiles, no cheap synthetics, beautiful projections. If I had to determine masterpieces just within my own collection, I think they would be Escentric Molecule 01, Vermeire Bombay Bling, TF Black Orchid, TF Shanghai Lily, Aesop Marrakech Intense, Diptyque Volutes Edp, LeLabo Rose 31, Le Labo Santal 33.
Hi Julia, that is quite a list of masterpieces you have noted. I agree that "masterpiece" and "wearable" are not, and don't have to be, the same. Love "groundbreaking" as a criterion to make the category. 👍👍👍
Oh! Wait? Veronica didn’t love Terracotta in the beginning? I would have never guessed that…😯😉❤️
True story. I wondered what the hype was, but I soon came to understand.
Guerlain Angelique Noire is a masterpiece to me! 😘
Ah yesss! Such a unique and beautiful fragrance! Thanks Barb! 👍💖
I love that I own so many of the fragrances that made your masterpieces list (Terracotta Le Parfum, Prescriptives Calyx, Dior Addict, Amarige, Fracas, Dune, Soleil Blanc)! And the ones I don’t own are probably because I haven’t smelled them (yet). That must mean your criteria has some validity (just kidding, LOL). The only qualification I have is that there are probably some fragrances that you’ve dismissed because they are ubiquitous now, but only because they were so revolutionary in their day that they started a whole fragrance trend. Examples of that might be Angel, which started the gourmand phenomenon and Coco Mademoiselle which could be the first fruitchouli. I don’t personally wear either Angel or Coco Mademoiselle, but I believe they are both masterpieces. Opium and Poison might also qualify. And I agree with Richard...you are a masterpiece!
Hi Paula! Awwww, first of all, THANK YOU. What a sweet comment. Second, you have great tastes! 😜 No seriously, I don't know many people who the seven you mentioned in their collection. The others are groundbreaking fragrances that I do own (well, except Coco Mademoiselle) but they didn't make the list for this video. Agree that they ARE masterpieces in their own ways and for different reasons. 👍👍👍
@@VeronicaSays I just got a decant of Sandal Ruby and I have to agree that it is unique and amazing! I'm not sure I need a full bottle at the price this goes for, but I'll definitely enjoy wearing the decant.

Hi Jacqueline! Scents of Wood makes some fabulous fragrances! I love that your wealthy aunt wears Michael - it's right up there with Amarige. A gorgeous tuberose Gardenia dream. Thanks for watching! 🥰💖
