I have had Trussardi Donna on my wishlist for some time now and ordered a decant on New Year's Eve. (It was one among many decants I ordered from my wishlist on New Year's Eve. Weird way to celebrate, but oh well...) I'm trying to be more "mindfully aware" of my fragrance purchases this year. Step one in that process is to get and use a decant to make sure it's right for me before ordering a full bottle. To be sure, Trussardi Donna is reasonably priced, but I want to know I will love and use any fragrance before offering it a place in my collection. I don't want to amass XXX number of fragrances just to have an expansive collection. I want them--hopefully--to be ones that express the "me" I strive to be and not a method of "keeping up with the Jones" if that makes sense. And...as I was writing this, I got a notification that the order with the Trussardi Donna is out for delivery today! Soooo excited!!!
Goodness you’re looking absolutely STUNNING! I don’t know if it’s the length of your hair but something is working at 1000%! Also, the queen holler took me out!!😂😂 LOVED IT! 💛💙♥️ Feliz Año Nuevo!🎊
Marie you look absolutely stunning! I might add as usual 😊! There are a lot of new Middle Eastern fragrances out, I hope you and Val can do a show on some of those in the future! Thanks Marie for keeping me informed on the variety of great fragrances. Your channel is my absolute favorite!!❤️
I had So Scandal and declutterd it when Scandal absolu came it, as that was an instant love for me and so scandal wasn't. I Still enjoy Elie Saab Royal but would not repurchase it and don't use it that often. My year started out with buying 2 backups of The Only One Intense from Dolce&Gabbana as it officially has been discontinued now and that is a scent that I want forever in my Collection. Thanks for sharing these with us! I was curious to hear if you have already purchased Forbidden Sugar by emir? I have her in my cart for 5 months but can't seem to pull the trigger😅
I still love my Elie Saab Le Parfum Royal. I wasn't able to use it as much on the last quarter of last year because I was using decants from Middle Eastern brands. I think it will last long for me that I don't need to think about repurchasing in the near future.
It’s pretty natural through the journey to find new loves. I went from being a niche person to learning to love designers. I also spent many years only wearing the same six perfumes in my possession before the obsession began 😂. It’s fun and winding road. So Scandal is gorgeous but I have other tuberose perfumes I’d much rather wear. Same with OG L’Interdit EDP, almost through the whole 80ml bottle but wouldn’t buy it again because I have other tuberose perfumes on my wish list.
Ii own so scandal and I haven’t used it for 5 months but I picked it up the other day to smell and I still like it. Not sure if re purchase but I tend to go in phases of being hooked on a certain scent, then moving on. 🤣
I totally get that. Sometimes I try and wear something just because I haven't used it for a while. But if I'm not craving it, it leaves me feeling unsatisfied.
I have Elie Saab Le Parfum Royal and I know what you mean. I'm a redhead and when I have a occasion and do my hair in viking braids this is the scent I wear. When you wear this it is like you are oaring into the shore and running the shore to take a land and build a castle on...k
Hello Maria! FM world has a extremely well done replica on so scandal! It lasts all day and on clothes for weeks 😂. I wore it few weeks ago for a brunch with my friend and I wore a happy pink/baby blue fair island cardigan. It still smells of it. If you have access to it it’s really worth a try! In UK I got it from eBay for 13£. ❤
Hi, Maria. Have you ever tried Lancome's Miracle? It seems to me Trussardi Donna is a lighter version of Miracle. My boss used to wear Miracle all the time so, when I smelled Donna, it instantly reminded me of her. Also, I smelled something else last month with the same DNA but I don't remember what.
Hi Maria. I'm gonna drive you nuts with lemon perfume questions, 😅but can you please tell me the difference between Trusardi Donna and Empire Victor? Thank you for your help. I'm looking for the perfect sweet creamy lemon
I have that particular Elie Saab and it smells absolutely horrible on me. I've had it for about three years, letting it rest for nearly a year in between applications...yuck and more yuck. To me, it smells like an antiquated grandma perfume. I have So Scandal & Donna EDP...love them both & would definitely repurchase. ❤
Being that most of my collection were blind buys, there have been hits & misses--more hits than misses, honestly. I always do my research, and maybe I'm easy to please. My taste has evolved, though... Still, I've only ever repurchased 2 or 3 fragrances...! 😅 I haven't needed to.
When you were talking about the warrior queen with two tigers, that "call" took me out!😂😂😂 You look beautiful today. Love your channel ❤
*Zenna Warrior Princess! 'Lucy Lawless'...from New Zealand! 😁😎😁

Thank you so much!!!

I wouldn't repurchase my So Scandal as well 😢 but I will repurchase my Scandal for sure! 😂
Great video Maria 🎉🎉

Donna by Trussardi sounds nice! I’ll have to sample it. Your hair looks beautiful by the way.
Happy New Year with HIS blessings.
I have for second time Donna Trussardi, i love it.

Hello Maria! Best wishes to you for the new year! I sold my bottle of So Scandal. 😅 I wasn’t reaching for it…
Ii own so scandal and I haven’t used it for 5 months but I picked it up the other day to smell and I still like it. Not sure if re purchase but I tend to go in phases of being hooked on a certain scent, then moving on. 🤣

I totally understand!!

I came for the fragrances; I stayed for the war cries!
🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for sharing your perfumes ❤

I haven’t tried it but will go and sniff it out! 😀
When you did that "diva queen" war cry I was thinking, "I wonder if someone else in her house heard that, and was so confused or just cracked up." 😂
Maria the "warrior princess" was the best part, for moi, lolol
🤣🤣🤣
😂 your so funny! Love it! Thank you xox
Hi Maria. I'm gonna drive you nuts with lemon perfume questions, 😅but can you please tell me the difference between Trusardi Donna and Empire Victor? Thank you for your help. I'm looking for the perfect sweet creamy lemon
Trussardi Donna has lemon and vanilla but was more floral. Empire Victor is way more vanillic with the lemon and basically no floral.
I have that particular Elie Saab and it smells absolutely horrible on me. I've had it for about three years, letting it rest for nearly a year in between applications...yuck and more yuck. To me, it smells like an antiquated grandma perfume. I have So Scandal & Donna EDP...love them both & would definitely repurchase. ❤
Thanks for weighing in!! 😀

I was just watching your vidoe comparing the Trussardis the other day! And decided to blind buy it finally 😂
I hope you will love it!
So scandal is great. ❤❤❤
Hey, that could have been meeeee!
My Elie Saab Royal is on the way. 😅 I love the original.
🫶❤️
Give warning when you scream out like a wild animal 😂...my cat jumped out of her skin😂😂
Your so funny🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
FIRST!
YUSSSSSSS! Love you Hessie!💖
Not even a minute and a half in and we're already weird and wonderful 😂🤍
