Hi Veronica, I paused the video to let you know you look especially beautiful and radiant today ☀. Back to video 🙂.
Awwww thank you sooo much! 🥰💖
Yes please to House of Bo review!
Awesome, thank you! 💖
Hey Veronica 🙋🏾♀️..watching and listening as I clean and do laundry 😂😂
Hiiii Latonya!! 🥰💖
380😮😮..yeah we need a sale Amouage 😂
I mean... whew! 😆
Do they ever go on sale? 😭
@@Nikzcyn yesss! Check Jomashop.
Looking lovely as always Veronica! Have you tested Sarah Baker's scents? The whole house seems quirky, fun, and interesting 😂
Thank you so much! 💖 I've tested a few, but a while back. Jungle Jezebel was a wild and fun one! 🥰
400😮😮😮stop it...I smelled it and I didn't get it AT ALL 😂😂
I wish I was lying. 😵💫
Super interesting take on these - I’m keen to try Love Delight - despite all the negative comments. I have 29 Amouages so definitely enjoy their complexity but am curious to experience this one.
Yes please to Widian and House of Bo. I’ve only tried (and own) Hili by Widian so far but am keen to sample more. (Very hard to sample in NZ) . 🙌😁
29! You get the Amouage prize! 🥰 Widian and House of Bo video coming in a few weeks. I wish I could find samples of House of Bo's latest releases.
Cappadocia is the coolest place in Turkey - people have carved homes and churches in the pumice rock and now it's a national treasure. If you ever get a chance to travel there, do it!
Yes, the images are beautiful! I'd love to go one day. Thank you for sharing! 🥰
Hello Veronica! I thoroughly enjoy your reviews! I appreciate your specificity of each frag. I, too, get tempted to blind buy frags.
Thank you Kerri! 🥰🥰🥰 I'm a chronic blind buyer. Mostly because samples sometimes frustrate me. I make no sense, I know. 😂😂😂
I’m interested in whatever you want to talk about 💜
Great video 💜
Awww thank you! 🥰💖

Would love to hear about Wideon!! And House of Bo
Thank you for weighing in, Jenifer!! 🥰🥰🥰
Yes, do Widian!!
Awesome! Thanks for weighing in! 🥰💖
I love all your videos. I have gone through the sample/full bottle dilemma. I have tried a few from Andrea Maack. They are wonderful. I love Solstice-that's my personal favorite and is very much suited in warm weather.
Yes, it's quite the dilemma! 😵💫🤔 What's fragrance lover to do? 😆 Solstice is lovely. 💖💖💖
Oh and THANK YOU for the kind compliment! 🙏🙏🙏
You look GORGEOUS today!👌🏼❤️🔥
Awww thank you sooo much! 💖💖💖
I definitely want to dive into more of Vilhelm fragrances
Have you tried Moon Carnival? That one is my fave. 🥰
Me too Latonya!
I haven't smelled moon carnival but based on the notes . I have a felling I will love if . I keep trying to wait and find a good price on it
They’re not that special. I had the chance to try them all in shop and they fall flat on their face. They start from famous fragrances and add a twist on them. That is my overall feeling. I got my husband Morning chess because he loved Aventus so much. He loves it, but to me is so mehh and performance is terrible too. Mango skin, another one that opens nice and then spoof, is gone, terrible performance. I am personally done with this house.
@@VeronicaSays ooh, better than Poets of Berlin?
Hey twin! Looking gorgeous! Juliette didn’t wow me either. It’s not bad but not memorable
Thank you, boo! 🥰🥰🥰 Yeah. I enjoyed sampling but will likely leave it at that. 🤷🏻♀️
Yes on the House of Bo. I’m loving their new Casa Blanca but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Still exploring (and $$$ recovering) from my trip to Europe/Excense.
Hi! Yes these bottles are pricey $$$ I want to sample the newest additions. Thanks for weighing in! 💖💖💖
Great video! I have Jest and Love delight…great descriptions. Would love your review of Widian fragrances. I only have Liwa but would like to try more.
Thank you! 🥰 I ENJOYED my Liwa sample and now want a bottle. 💖👍
I have been in a choke hold with Juliette has a gun Not a perfume 😮😮, so I may have to get a whiff of this new one, but do I need another Cherry 😢😢
You mean the woody one?
i definitely overspray sparkling jo like i do everything else 🤣🤣 i can’t wait to experience it this summer!
I can see needing to do that, in which case, this one would work! Glad you're enjoying it. 🥰🥰🥰
I’ve been wanting Jany for a while but for some reason keep putting it off. I haven’t smelled it but based off reviews. I might just do what you said ❤❤
Hey Lala! Listen, that opening is A++++!! I would probably pick it up on sale. Just know you'll have to respray for the magic. 👍👍👍
heyyyyy Veronica! this new Andrea Maack sounds very interesting. i’ll have to grab a sample!
Hi Alexis - do try it! I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on it. 👍👍👍
You look gorgeous today!! Loved your descriptions!! I would love for you to do more on Bo! I’ve really been trying to venture out of my safe spaces but I’ve had so much going on, fragrance hasn’t been a priority. Excited to try some of these and I have tons of samples I’ve ordered. Great video!!😊❤
Thank you, Jackie! 💖🥰 Real life first over perfume and makeup and other frivolity - all day EVERY day! No worries ever.
Vilhelm is a hit or miss for me. I will say that their "A Lilac a Day" is perhaps the best authentic Lilac fragrance I've ever smelled. It is a true green (and somewhat fluffy) Lilac with some touches of rose. But for anyone wanting a realistic Lilac perfume, get your nose on this one for sure.
Thank you for sharing this one! I haven't tried it. I agree about the house. 👍👍👍
Hi Veronica! ❤ I definitely loved the vanilla sex perfume by Tom Ford. But I can't see myself purchasing it. The price and quality don't match. I'm in search for an alternative version of it! 😅😂
Hi Muffet! 💖 Never fear, it will be on discount sites soon enough. 💯💯💯
Ooooh the glow coming through the screen! ⭐️ So extra beautiful today ❤️ what a gorgeous ring! And I’m not usually into jewelry but it’s soooo pretty, thank goodness you mentioned Jany I only hear good things which is great buttttt for the price I don’t want a flat dry down 🤣 I’ll pass on the flattened pastry lol, the bottle is cute 😉 if your hubby considered love delight “safe” maybe finally it’s the Amouage for me! 😂
Awww thank you, Sunny! 💖 I think you would enjoy the opening of Jany. Definitely worth trying! Love Delight is also worth trying out. Not all is lost there, but that price is a bit much. 😬
I also enjoyed Vanilla Sex. I was annoyed that I liked it. Those Tom Ford prices still make my blood boil. Lololol
I purchased the Alexandria Fragrances dupe(Vanilla Six) of Vanilla Sex. It’s about 85-90% similar to Vanilla Sex. I really love it. It’s similar enough to deter me from purchasing the OG.
*I’d love to smell Julianna’s Perfume’s take on VS. I bet they would kill it.
I can’t get behind Love Delight from the new management at Amouage. Did it smell nice? Yes. BUT they discontinued my baby Love Mimosa for this basic heliotrope weak sauce. It smells nice but we’ve smelled fragrances like this before. It’s not worth 400$. Deep discount required. Sorry for being harsh but… I had to say it. 😂
No need to be sorry! Valid opinion! A bunch folks were unhappy that Love Mimosa was discontinued. I'll be keeping an eye open for Vanilla Sex to go on sale. $395 for 1.7 oz of plain vanilla is a bit wild. 😵💫
Hey cuz!! Happy Saturdayyyyy 💖💖💖💖 Watching!!
Hi beautiful! Happy Saturday! 💖🥰💖🥰
Sampling is my happy place 🥰🥰🥰 I'm loving hearing your thoughts on these! What happened to me with Juliette was: in store I thought it smelled kind of like a cherry cake. But I got a free sample of it in my Sephora order, and it had an okay opening, sort of what I remembered.. but then the jasmine went weird on me exactly like it did in V&R Good Fortune! Not indolic but weird like stale musty dead flowers lol 😂
😂, oh no. My skin normally turns some scents into fly spray. Mmmmm m🤦🏻♀️😂
Yes, Juliette got flat for me, unfortunately. 🤷🏻♀️ I have a love/hate relationship with sampling! I literally just put in an order for 10 more this morning. 🤡🙈😆
@@VeronicaSays 😂👏🏻🩷
Nice video, Veronica! Being a TF stan, I'd probably love Vanilla Sex, but not until it hits discounters or there's a really great sale! I def want to try Lucky Candy🍬 JHAG Juliette was okay. I didn't get cherry at all though and my travel size won't be getting much wear. I would be interested in you reviewing Widian & the House of Bo💗
The Tom Ford pricing is crazy. It’s more expensive than Guerlain’s L’Art and La Matiere collection. How does Vanilla Sex compare to Spiritueuse Double Vanille which is also a boozy vanilla?
Yeah, you make a good point! 😲 I don't think you can really compare the two fragrances. Almond-bready vanilla extract and play dough vs slightly smoky resinous darker vanilla.
Pausing this video to say whatever you’re doing friend, keep doing it because you look absolutely stunnjng❤
Awww thank you so much, Jessie! 💖🥰💖🥰
I have heard so many things about both Vanilla Sex and Love Delight. All conflicting. Interesting to see what people think about them. Although, I will admit no matter what they smell like, they're probably both way overpriced! 😂, just my thoughts. Anyway, I would love an overview of Widian!
Yes, girl! Those prices are like... whew!! 😂 House of Bo and Widian video coming up in a few weeks, thank you. 🙏💖
What is up with that play dough scent. Does it come from the vanilla or almond notes. I've been very bad with the blind buying. Vanilla Sex and Cappadocia, stop me. I agree with your review on both. I'll keep both as I am a crazy collector. Love the bottles.
Also the Vilhelm perfums remind me of Byredo, in that to me they are skin scents. I did buy 2 Vilhelm I'm enjoying, the Basilica smells like basil tomatoes freshie and Room service a dusty rose. I dig the bottles. I'm such a sucker for presentation. Love all your reviews 🎉
Thank you so much! 💖🥰 I love the Vilhelm bottles too. As for playdough, I'm not sure but I notice it more in fragrances that have both vanilla and almond with powdery notes.
Bravi by Thameen. I’ll blind buy it because it’s a new creation from Christopher Chong(previous Amouage creative director). He’s a creative genius.
If you're adventurous, I say go for it. It's definitely interesting! Hope you love it! 🥰💖
Lucky candy, I got sweet, but not so much Gourmand
Thank you for weighing in. 👍 Did you like it?
Hi. Just tried cheeky smile and Skin . Love them both. But wondering if you could help. I'm after something that smells like Very Valentino. Sadly can't find it anywhere. Any similar ones you can recomend i try?
Love your videos.
Thank you so much! 💖 I've never tried Very Valentino, but I know loyal fans are upset it's discontinued. I wish I could be of help, sorry! 😔
Yes Vanilla s✨x smelled more like almond than vanilla to me! I have a bunch of samples sitting in my shopping cart on one site and I'm trying to convince myself not to do it ..but it's just so much fun! 😅😅
I just ordered more this morning and will probably order more this afternoon. #sendhelp 😂😂😂
I can't wait for your review of Kayali Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar 😊
Oh! Have you tried it? I hadn't planned to try it anytime soon. Reviews seem to indicate it just disappears. 😵💫
Veronica, I recently found your channel and I must say that I loooooove how you explain the fragrances and the fact that you mix high-end with more reasonably priced ones! Thanks so much and I will be watching you from now on!!! You’re fantastic
Awww thank you so very much, and welcome to the channel! 💖🌟🥰
Hey Veronica! I have my fruit and I’m ready for the tea
I love that 😂😂😂
Hey Veronica! Very interested in hearing your opinion reg the house of BO.
Hi! Thank you for weighing in! 🥰
Funny how different perception is. Cappadocia was a love for me at the first sniff. I dont get the leather in it, actually I dont even think there is a leather note. To my nose It’s very creamy, balsamic, spicy from the saffron, the benzoin makes it divine, sweet vanilic. The saffron is in contrast with those balsams and resins. It had a Middle Eastern touch to it with that olibanum. I got the bottle right away and wearing it made me fall in love with it even more, has so many other facets that open up . Cappadocia is a place in Anatolia, Turkey.The rocks you see on the bottle are the 'fairy chimneys' that ponctuate the Cappadocia region. Volcanic eruptions created this surreal moonscape: the lava flows formed tuff rock, which wind and rain sculpted into sinuous valleys with curvy cliff faces and pointy fairy chimneys.
I'm glad you love it! 💖 Sounds like you had a different experience, which is fine. Remember, this is just sampling as I mentioned and sampling has limitations. I'm familiar with the place in Turkey - never been but seen many pictures and a couple of videos. Dreamy!!
There’s something about Bravi that is interesting to me. I keep spraying it when I go to the perfumery, but I have yet to buy it. But I do think at some point it may come to my collection. As far as Jany I have tried several times to like it but I can’t get over the actual Yankee candle smell. It smells too much like wax melts during Thanksgiving. I love gourmands and I love apple cinnamon pastry scents! But Jany wasn’t it for me hahahaha
I totally understand! Some folks do NOT want to smell like a candle 😂 Glad you enjoyed Bravi! I'm going to keep working with it. It's intriguing!
great video; i agree totally about Sparkling Jo (unfortunately I blind bought and jit ust doesn't last); please do Widian and House of Bo! Would love your reviews.
Thank you for weighing in about Sparkling Jo! ✨️ I'll try it again but I was disappointed. House of Bo and Widian review coming in a few weeks. 💖
@irieAllDay88 she is always so pretty, her make-up is always on point.
I really like your voice and your manner of speaking, Veronica. 😊
Awww thank you sooooo much! Such a lovely comment 🙏💖🥰😍
yes on the Widian. just tried Bo Luis.......meh. Sparkling Jo was a compete let down after Faces of Francis.
Hi! You're thinking of Liis Bo? That's a different house. It's a bit confusing. Bo is a fragrance made by Liis, and there is a separate House of Bo line. I know what you mean about Sparkling Jo. Bummer.
Good morning Beautiful! I would love a review of the fragrance houses you've mentioned as I've never heard of them, but I'm always interested in something new!❤❤❤
Thank you! I'll be posting that video in a few weeks! 💖💖💖
Jany is really yummy but I didn’t find it full bottle worthy. It’s the best apple gourmand I’ve found although La Danza is better imo
Oh interesting! I like Jany more than La Danza, although they are both lovely. 🥰🥰🥰
l tried love delight and on my skin and it was a fruity vanilla, I didnt get any florals so I was disappointed on that one. On a happier note I bought musc muschus blindly after your musc video and I really love it. It has a classic old school perfumery vibe as in Dior Poison but with a very elegant modern twist , lasting power is also so impressive. Thank you for the reccomendation.
Thanks for sharing your experience with Love Delight. 👍 I'm so happy to hear that Musc Moschus was a win for you! That's AWESOME! 💖💖💖
Buenas noches, Verónica. The ring! Love! Hair is so pretty and silky :) Siempre elegante y guapa.
Hi Alma! Thank you so very much! I appreciate your kind compliment! 💖💖💖
I love the Juliette bottles but sadly every one I try from them doesn’t work for me. Recently Lili Fantasy which was terrible. It was a generic screechy headache scrub off haha
Oh no! Sounds like the basic DNA of the house doesn't not agree with you. 😔
Lucky Candy was an absolute scrubber for me and it wouldnt go off either. It smelled like the most toxic sweet plastic I can think of. Total nausea 😢
Oh no! 😲
Yes house of Bo please!!!
Have 2 from scent bird and want to know more. Want full bottles but ouch $$$$$
Yes, they are so pricey 😬😬😬 Which two have you tried?
I don’t get any coziness or sweetness from Lucky Candy. 😭 It smells very citrusy floral to me and it’s not a safe blind buy in my opinion. Another reason it’s so important to sample first. 😅
Oh! Citrus, huh? I'll have to sniff it again with citrus in mind! Thanks for sharing your impressions 💖🥰
Vanilla Sex is already on Jomashop at 26% off - just in case you haven't noticed yet!
😲😲😲😲 No, I had not noticed! Thank you for sharing 💖🥰
I would love to hear about houses I've never tried or heard of (!) ... I'm very curious about both House of Bo and Widian.
Yay! Thanks so much for weighing in! 🥰💖
Hellooo,🙋🏻♀️🥰 .
My nose just can’t gel with any of the Wilhelm’s and the new Juliette was a bit meh for me and I was so excited to get a red Juliette bottle buddy😬…Things just “gotsta”match 😉
I’ve not had a try of either Bo nor Widian; looking forward to hearing about them both .
Nigh nigh’s Veronica, thank you and have a beautiful day 🥰❤️🧡🩷🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺
Hi! Yeah, Vilhelm Parfumerie is hit or miss for me. I love Moon Carnival. 💖🥰 House of Bo and Widian coming soon! Thank you, friend!
@@VeronicaSays 🥰
Would love to hear your thoughts on the House of Bo! I have two of their fragrances and absolutely love them. ❤
Thank you! Which two do you have?
@@VeronicaSays I have La Mar and Espiritu. Looking to try Rosario and Casa Blanca.
@@chasingolivia awesome! I want to try Casa Blanca and Bombon but can't find samples anywhere. 🤨
@@VeronicaSays Yes! Let me know if you find any. Hoping they come out with a discovery set of their newer fragrances soon!
@@chasingolivia me too!
I got to try Juliet and was gifted two samples when I went to buy a gift at Skins Cosmetics😉😉. I honestly found the cherry to be extremely fleeting and it faded away rather quickly on my skin🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️. I’m interested in a review of Widian, we have it at Skins but man it’s so pricey😩😩. Lovely video as always 👌👌
Stay gorgeous🥰🥰
Hi Pinkie! Thank you 🙏💖 Yes, I found the cherry in Juliette to be fleeting, also, unfortunately. 🍒 Honey, Widian wants all the coins 😂 I'll get that review ready for you all. Hugs!
@@VeronicaSays
Thank you so much 😊😊
Hello Veronica, so glad to learn about Lucky Candy, was expecting it to be different as well. I had it on my sample list...excited to try the bloomtea, it sounds perfect for work...lastly yes on the House of Bo, I've been interested in La Mar
Hi Joan! La Mar is the one I purchased and it's fantastic. Let me know if you try Bloomtea or Lucky Candy. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts. 🥰
@VeronicaSays OH YAY!!! I've been wanting to try it but not able to find any samples...I guess I will have to work up the nerve to blind buy...FYI, bought a sample decant for Sur la Plage and ABSOLUTELY LOVED thnx for the recommendation...💙🩵
@joanmatthews1500 oh YAY! I'm glad Sur La Plage worked for you! If you like that one, I think you'll appreciate La Mar. Floral marine fragrance with delicate coconut. Very breezy fragrance. Twisted Lily has samples of it for $6 if you'd like to try it. If want a discount code, use Veronica10 (10% off). Enjoy!
Yes! So curious about Bo! Studied, Liis, etc!
Hi! 💖 I think you're thinking about Liis, which is a different house than House of Bo. It's really confusing since Liis has a fragrance called Bo.
Veronica!!! I want to hear you review everything! Yes to Widian and Bo!!❤
Thank you, doll! 💕 Video will load in the next week or so. It's recorded and edited. 💖
I am definitely interested in a house of Bo review! Scent bird select has a few of them available and I have no idea where to start.🙏🏽😊
Thanks for weighing in! I'll be posting this review in the near future. 💖💖💖
I love that many reviewers are now using a lot more samples instead of the full bottles and I agree with you. Unfortunately sometimes the small samples do smell different! I finished a 2ml decant of Nobile 1942 Pontececchio W and had to have it, it was so lovely. It's an iris perfume of which I own so many, so it was silly to begin with. Well, the full bottle looks beautiful but the perfume inside is incredibly weak and doesn't last. Now, this is not a Middle eastern perfume so I don't think it would need to mature, but wow, so disappointing. As for Tom Ford, Vanilla Sex, I am one of the few who smell almondy vanilla with a splash of urine in the drydown. No thanks ;o). oxJulia
Oh no! Try the Nobile 1942 fragrance again and ask others if they smell it on you. Reviews for that one say it's long lasting. 🤷🏻♀️ I never tried it, but it sounds beautiful!! 💖
@@VeronicaSays Yes, I will. The sample was stronger and very long lasting for an iris.
Hi Veronica 🌹 💕 I really loved this video, and I wanted to mention that when you were talking about Cappadocia, it brought the best memories to mind for me personally. Cappadocia, or Kapadokya in Turkish, is a magical place in Central Anatolya, where the phallic rock formations are located and where they fly hot air balloons over the valleys at sunrise. I'm actually surprised at the note structure they chose to represent this fragrance with this name because my memory is very vivid of the scent of fresh lavender bushes, freshly brewed Turkish coffee and warm baked goods 😍 That's what the air smells like at sunset in the mountains of Cappadocia.
Hey girl, hey! 💖🥰 I'm familiar with the region through photos and videos (and remember YOUR amazing trip to this region of Turkey). Thank you for sharing this beautiful memory in images and now here in this comment in this wonderful scent memory. Based on what you describe, the scent doesn't match the mood! I'll try it again - perhaps I missed a nuance of the fragrance.
@VeronicaSays yeah, it didn't sound like it matches at all 😂 Thank you for your hard work 🫶🌹💕
I’ll wait for vanilla sex to end up at the cosmetic store. It’s wildly overpriced
I agree! 😵💫😵💫😵💫 The Cosmetics Company Store is one of my go-to places for Tom Ford. 👍👍👍
I am interested in Widian, also your thoughts on Benigna, if you have any, not familiar with Bo.
Hi Cathy, I have one Benigna that our friend Jackie sent over to me. I'm hoping to work that into a future video soon. Okay, Widian wins! 🥰🥰🥰
Jany, I purchased the Dapper version.. it's nice and enough for me
Does the apple pie turnover last throughout for Dapper?
@@VeronicaSays I get about 5hours
Andrea Maack is a house I need to explore more. My SOTD is Trish by Trish Mcevoy, one of my favorite reaches in Spring. Thanks!
I'm exploring Trish McEvoy more! Andrea Maack has discovery sets that are fun to sample. Mostly gentle fragrances, except Pavilion which is a powerhouse.
@@VeronicaSays Oh good to know! I'll see if I can grab a sample set.
Nondescript fragrance for Josephine?! Vilhelm blasphemes! PS - Love that giant, sculptural ring!
😂😂😂 Awww sorry! Did you love Sparkling Jo? Should I give it another go? Thanks so much for the ring compliment. 🥰
@@VeronicaSays No! Vilhelm is the blasphemer, not you! How dare they create anything that isn't the bomb for her?
Oh gotcha! 😆 I know. She deserved more.
Love Delight is beautiful and I want it so bad, but that price is CRIMINAL!! 😂😭 I need someone to come up with a dupe of this. Someone? Anyone!? 👀
Yes, it's mega pricey 😵💫😬 Dua or Dapper - maybe one of them will create a dupe.
@@VeronicaSays thank you, I hope so. I just looking into Dua fragrances today. The collection is diverse! 😵
@@Nikzcyn it really is!
Hiiiiiiiii! The make up is giving all the things.❤
Hiiiiii!!! Thank you sooo much! 🥰🥰🥰
The first time I tried Sparkling Jo, I did not like it. It gave me a headache and I didn’t get much of a pear smell. I tried it a couple more times and thought, meh it’s ok. I don’t know what happened but I wore it yesterday after it sat for about a month and I LOVE it. The champagne comes through sparkling and sweet, but not overly so. I really smelled the pear and the perfect amount of ginger. I did layer it over a sandalwood and vanilla body lotion. I don’t know if that’s what made me love it so much but I’m thinking it’s full bottle worthy now.
Oh this is good news! I wondered if I was too harsh on it. That can happen when expectations are high, you know? Thanks for sharing your experience with it 💖💖💖
Yes I know, I had such high expectations for it and felt disappointed. I’m really happy that I gave it another try. You’re welcome and thank you for your videos. They’re so helpful and informative. 💖🙏🏼💖
@Shelley-cl2kn thank you so much! 💖💖💖
I share your opinion on Jany, the opening is amazing. It’s crafted after a famous french dessert with apples. The drydown is where this fragrance lost me too.
Is the dessert named "Jany?" I'm curious where the name comes from. Thanks for sharing your experience with this one! 💖
@@VeronicaSays no, they are trying to evoke the smell of Tarte Tatin. Jany is the grandmother of the creator . This is their description of her “ Once upon a time... A middle summer garden afternoun. The calm of a sunny nap. And the children’s snack. Jany. She’s getting busy in the kitchen, between sugar and flour. What she loves to prepare, above all other delicacies, is tarte tatin. The butter melts on the glass. She drops grains of brown sugar into it, in the silence of a fine, icy rain. Its scent swirls around the room, echoes to the veranda, travels to the path. Baked apples and cinnamon sticks fade into the exha- lations of puff pastry. Then come caramel, almonds and va- nilla, powerful aromas that linger into the evening. Antoine’s daughter, Jany carries the fragrance of his recipes, cakes, madeleines and cookies. An original childhood pastry, Jany delivers the aromatic memories of all our unforgettable delicacies. Here’s to your emotions.”
@@arianaperfumes thank you 💖

Hey Veronica!❤❤ let’s hear it!😊
Hi! Thanks for watching 💖💖💖
I'd love the Widian house overview.
Thank you! 💖 I'm filming it today to post in the next couple of weeks. 🥰
I want to buy Thameen but it’s so expensive
Hi! 🥰 Yes, Thameen can be pricey. 😮💨
Please do review house of Bo and Widian☺️
Yes! Coming up soon! 🙏💖
I just bought a small decant of Bravi along with a larger decant of Perigrina due to reviews. Have not formed an opinion yet. I do sometimes feel as though it is hard to decide on a fragrance from a sample, that being said there are some samples I have tried that were a definite pass:) I am very interested in trying something from Memo, but am in love with a lot of Amouage right now and that is taking all my $$.
That being said about Amouage I am talking about older ones that are somewhat reasonably priced:)
I definitely recommend shopping discount sites for Amouage - you can get half off often times. And YES, I've had some definite passes from sampling, too! I know what you mean. At the end of the day, we can't buy everything, so sampling comes into play for sure. 👍💖
@@VeronicaSays I have bought all my Amouage on Jomashop and feel like the pricing has been good:)
@@CathyVaughn-ph3lr same for me! Well, for most. I love Jomashop!
Hey Veronica can you suggest a perfume that is very peachy, like sweet peach that isn’t musky. Thanks so much! Love your content as always!
Hi! I'm not a big fan of peach. 🥰 The ones I have are very musky. Have you tried Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom & Honey? That might be a good choice.
@@VeronicaSays I haven’t, but adding it to my list to try tomorrow. Thank you!
Hi! You might want to try Hedonist by Minya boozy peach and honey. Beautiful!
@@AFleurdePiel thank you I’m gonna look it up now
Love this lip color ❤️❤️👋🏾🥰
Thank you so much! 💖🥰💖🥰
Hey Ms. V - love these testing vids.💝 I am with you on Sparkling Jo; wanted to love it and was underwhelmed. Yay you got your hands on Bravi! I have actually changed my mind a bit (imagine that 😳) and ordered a travel size to play with. Yeah I get a lot of honey 🍯, wish there was more walnut milk but it is pretty so we’ll see. 🤷🏼♀️ OK I was interested in sampling Cappadocia. I enjoy Memo a lot. Mmmm….maybe not? BIG YES to Widian!! I sampled Hili yesterday and I think it’s a love and FB worthy. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, have a great weekend Veronica 😘
Hi Jill! 🥰 Yes, sampling is equal parts fun and frustrating, I find. I'd like to revisit Sparkling Jo. I wonder if I was too harsh on it. 🤔 I'm glad you get the honey from Bravi, too! Once my mind sorted through what I thought I was smelling, it was undeniable! Interesting scent! Try Cappadocia. It's a nice leather, don't get me wrong. I just have a lot of leathers. But no one does leather like Memo!
Good morning Veronica!❤
I wouldn’t mind getting a sniff of Vanilla Sex, but I wouldn’t pay even a discounted price for it. We’re retired now so I have to be more discerning about my purchases.
I did, however, recently try a travel spray of Narciso Rodriguez Rouge from FragranceNet, just for the heck of it. I had no idea what to expect. I love it! ❤❤Who knew? Maybe I’d like the other cubes. Aren’t they being continued?😮
I always love hearing about your sample experiences. And I always love hanging out with you! ❤❤
Have a wonderful weekend 🥰❤️🥰
Awww thank you, Leah! 💖🥰 I understand about being mindful of purchases. We all have budgets to stick to, be they of different sizes. It's still fun to get a whiff, as you said! I'm so thrilled that you love Rouge! 💖💖💖 I think some, maybe all, are discontinued? I'm not sure.
Just got off work (west coast time), #1 on my to-do list was to watch your video. 🥰 I got a bottle of Juliette but I wish I didn’t. I do love Sparkling Jo, it’s on my wishlist. Lucky Candy is also on my wishlist 😁 and I don’t own any Montale at this time. I haven’t been able to test Love Delight but I’m really curious about it. And I feel the way you do about TF Vanilla Sex, will not purchase it this time at its price point…maybe in 2 years…at Jomashop 😁 have a wonderful weekend!
Hi Marie! 🥰 Aw what a lovely compliment! Thank you so much! 💖 Juliette is pleasant but I'm in no rush for a bottle. Yes, girl. You KNOW Vanilla Sex will end up on discount soon. We shall be patient. 💯
Yes please for widian and house of Bo 👌
Yes! Coming up in a few weeks!! 💖
What I learned today: an apple turnover is basically a Dutch "appelflap", which is delicious!!! I am Dutch by the way with an indirect Indian background. And yes, although I do own Jany I have to agree with you about it falling flat. It's kind of like a cake that came out of the oven looking perfect, but then after 30 minutes it collapsed 😕. But it is still good enough for me to keep in my collection. I would like to know more about Widian, please. Every time I am in the store I walk right past it. It's just not calling me. But maybe if you have some recommendations I can test those.
Appleflap! Yes, like a cake that enticed me but deflated on the counter. 😂 If I ever buy it, I'll have to spray every thirty minutes to relive the delicious part of it. Thanks for weighing in about Widian. 🥰👍
Bloomtea sounds nice. I've been eyeing Bvlgari Thé Vert... But my local shop just got in a brand "Chasing Scents" that are all tea scents. They self-distill their own teas in Australia. Definitely getting samples of those. So many samples, so little time. Lol 😂
Yessss so many samples, so little time! I have a whole bucket of samples waiting for me. 🙈🤦🏻♀️🤡
Yes on Widian 😊
Coming up soon! 🥰
OMG Jany was my favorite purchase of 2023. Absolutely love it all the way through. I do spray my clothes as well as skin and I will reapply when it starts to fade which I don’t mind doing because I love it so much. I do like Angel’s Share but not a love for me.
Hi Jessica! 🥰 I can totally see why everyone loves Jany. I will probably be interested in it again this fall. I'll just have to commit to respraying. 💖
I get compliments when I wear Jany by Sora Dora. I have to overspray and usually reapply after 4 hours… but it’s an amazing fall/ holiday scent… I also layer it with other things.
I can totally see it! If I buy it, I'll just have to commit to respraying it. The opening is amazing! 💖🥰💖🥰
I want to hear about House of Bo.🙋
Hiii Christy! 🥰 Awesome! Review coming soon! 💖
Jany surprised me in a good way too. I might need to get another sample to test. Love your point about samples giving a different kind of experience. So true. Bloomtea sounds nice. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! 💖 Jany is definitely worth sampling again. Hope you get to try Bloomtea. 🥰
Can you do a top picks for spring/summer? They don’t need to be new just overall spring/summer favorites 💛
Hi Dawn! 🥰💖 I sort of sprinkle them throughout all my videos, including the monthly "awards." Do you watch that series? Here's a "best of summer" from last summer that I hope you enjoy: ua-cam.com/video/hg8E4QiTwCg/v-deo.html
I like sampling fragrances to find loves.
We can't buy everything or we'd be eating cornflakes in the dark with no heat. 😂 So... sampling comes into play. 👍👍👍
@@VeronicaSays That's true i don't want to be in the dark eating dry corn flakes.
@@ComeUnboxWithTheresa 😂😂😂
I have been rehearing my fragrances. It’s hard to get really enthusiastic about safe and overly expensive fragrances. Loved your fragrance discussions. Thank you.
I totally understand! It's fun to try them, though. Glad you enjoyed the video 🥰🙏💖
Widian please! 🥳🥳🥳
Yes! Coming up soon! 🥰💖
Hey (is for horses) friend!! 😂 I would love to hear your thoughts about the House of Bo. Have a wonderful weekend. Cheers!
Hay hey hay! 🐎 🐴 🎠 🏇 😆 Thank you! 💖💖💖
