Awww Jackie! You are so sweet, honey! Thanks for speaking so highly of Miel Extase and for enjoying it as much as I do. Once again, thanks for all the love and the exquisite full review you posted on it. You're such a darling! Love all of your videos.
LMAO at the applause part. You are too funny! I love TT with every bone in my body but... yeah... people either love the DNA or they don't. You were bold to go for it though. 💖👏🏻
Hi Jackie Give Andromeda a chance. I had the same in store and at home experience. It wasn’t a favorite of mine and I considered returning it. BUT baby….it’s now a Love!! It has become one of my most complimented perfumes.
Try spraying the TT about 10 times (to get some air in it and let out the initial blast of alcohol out) then put it in a cold, dark, and dry place (drawer or cabinet) to rest. Ideally 2-3 weeks plus so it can oxidize (correct term is oxidize, not “macerate” - it’s already macerated, meaning the ingredients have blended and melded like the perfumer wanted it to) by the house prior to them releasing it for purchase) and it might change to what you were expecting. I do this with all my new bottles - they just get better especially deeper scents (vanillas, ambers, sandalwoods, patchoulis) but even my lighter, fresh ones ones. They just get better.
I do find that sometimes perfumes still need time to macerate as some perfumers skip this step or shorten it. Especially dupe houses. Oxidization is great but some still need time to actually settle and that’s why “macerate”gets used. I have sprayed my TT fragrance and put it away. I can’t wait to take it out in a few weeks and see if I love it. Fingers crossed! 🤞🏼 ❤
From Tiziani Terrenzi I have Kirke, Cassioepea and Delox. Delox is my favorite (similar to Roses Vanille which I don't have). I do like the house - unique, great longevity and easy to find on the discounters.
Titziana Terenzi 100% has a DNA to their line. I dislike nearly everything from them because of it. I do like Cassiopeia, Delox, and Chiron. Everything else I don’t care for though.
Great haul Jackie. The musks in TT fragrances are the exact same. They carry the dna of the brand it seems, and it’s 99% of their fragrances. This is why most people feel that, once you’ve smelled one TT, you’ve smelled them all 😩😂
Hi Jackie, girl Andromeda had me like that after I purchased it. I was like why did I buy this. BUT I just was going to the doctor and decided to douse myself in it, cause why not. I got so many compliments and I went to the grocery store and the dry down is splendid and the longevity is unmatched, so I would give it a good wear test before decluttering 😊. But I have over 400 bottles so I'm clearly not big on decluttering..lol. Keep up the great content! ❤🎉
Some fragrances have to sit for a few weeks after being shipped, especially in extreme weather -- they need time to "settle." This happens to at least half the fragrances I buy online. I don't think BN9 GV smells like BR540 very much -- maybe a hint but there's a lot of other things going on. For me, I still like and enjoy BR540, while GV was an infatuation at first sniff on paper that became gross later when the ambroxan took over. It's like on a first date when you're drooling over the hot guy with a great job and then you notice he undertips the service when the bill comes. What a turnoff -- that is Ambroxan to me, lol
Hi Jackie, Rouge Smoking was a blind buy for me and i was absolutely addicted...this perfume has led me into the gourmand fragrances....i am having so much fun with all of these new fragrances.....i am waiting on my TT Casseopia to arrive.....so glad i found your channel....Blessings all. ❤
I love the ENTIRE Argos Fragrance house. I own Triumph of Bacchus extrait, Birth of Venus, Pour Femme, and Adonis Awakens. I'm trying to decide on my next purchase, either Danae or Pallas Athene 😬.
I absolutely ADORE Ouverture! I’m so happy to see someone talking about it. I feel like it gets a bit overlooked. I hope more people discover it now that you’ve spoken about it. I’m really looking forward to getting my nose on Fall of Phaeton, it sounds wonderful! I just purchased a 30ml Triumph of Bacchus and I’m really liking that one. The Argos bottles and packaging really are works of art.
So happy you like Triumph of Bacchus! It’s one of my all time favorite perfumes in my collection. It gets even better with time. I agree, Ouverture is so underrated!!
Ohhhhh I missed this one! I can to look for your BIRTH OF VENUS Review, it sounds amazing!!! I’m so glad you love OVERTURE and omg it gets getting once that atomizer is activated. I Don get incense either and definitely all parts of fig. Thanks Jax 💖 I need to smell the other one as well lol @ sample they scent!! 😅
Performance is a tough issue. When I first got into the fragrance hobby, I blind bought six designers based on UA-camr recommendations. I liked or loved all of them & one was Gucci Pour homme 2, which I knew had pore performance. It lasted about only an hour but I got compliments & found it relaxing. I later found that laying it with Molecule 02 made it last almost 8 hours on my skin but I would have been fine with it even if it didn't.
Hi Jackie! I’m so glad you reviewed La Vie Est Belle Iris Absolue! I tried it with zero expectations since I don’t really like the original, but Iris Absolue stole my heart 🤯
OMG...A salesperson recommended Fall of Phaeton and gave me a sample last weekend. I had not heard of the house and this fragrance is NOT listed on fragrantica..so I went in blind on her recommendation..well I tried it today..and was like OMG..I love it! Then I jumped on UA-cam to see if anyone was talking about it...and here you are! An amazing wow fragrance...I will be getting a full bottle. Glad you like it too! I think I will order a discovery set.❤ Love the names and the story behind the scents...what goes with better perfume then beautiful art and a dramatic story.
I don't like La Vie est Belle either. I received a sample of Iris Absolu and I couldn't stand that either. I'm not a big iris fan apparently. To me it smelled grandmotherly lol (just my opinion of course!). I did however purchase Lancome Idole Nectar and I LOVE it. It has a caramel popcorn note along with 3 different rose notes and vanilla bourbon. I'm not usually a fan of rose but mixed with those other notes, it's beautiful!
Totally know what you mean - that's why I haven't smelled a TT I like .. based on your description I am strongly considering blind buying la vie est belle iris absolut. I love fig 😊
I recently got Hufflepuff during the sale too. Wearing it today, and it’s such a beautifully blended, airy lemon-coconut-vanilla! I adore Greenwich Village and also find it very distinct from BR540! What a great haul 🙌🏿
BTW the cinnamon in Lira calms down with rest after shipping. When I first got a decant, all I could smell was cinnamon for MONTHS and I couldn’t understand what the heck people were talking about. I tried it again later and fell in love and finally smelled how it’s supposed to smell. Got a 30ml bottle but would love a full bottle and bathe in it 😂
I have both Lira and Love and Crime, and I can pickup the differences! I love them both! Love and Crime is woodier and and more deep and thick and resinous, Lira is more citrus and aromatic, and a little lighter in texture
Lira to me smells exactly like Jaffa Cakes, they’re a popular snack cake in the UK. I love Jaffa Cakes but I don’t particularly want to smell like them. The blood orange in Lira is just SO strong to my nose, and I don’t think I’m a huge fan of that, but I understand why it’s a popular and well-loved fragrance for a lot of people. I’ve always been a fan of the original LVEB just because it was the very first perfume I ever wore consistently (after I stole it from my mom lol), it was my signature scent for a long time, so smelling it now always makes me feel so nostalgic and also makes me think of my wonderful mom. However my absolute favorite flanker of LVEB is the discontinued Intense version. The notes are slightly different, & there is an added whipped cream and hazelnut note in the base… it smells delectable. You can still find it on fragrance discounter websites and reseller platforms like Mercari. I’m interested to try the Iris Absolu version, I love iris as well!
I love TT delox and Cassiopeia. I just got Halley too on super discount after having a sample and I really like that one and yes I understand. Same musky smell at the base
I purchased the sample set of Argos Perfumes. I don't normally lean towards fruity fragrances BUT Birth of Venus. OMG the peach, it was an immediate eye roll inhale moment. I am trying Fall of Phaeton as its so unique. Danae is nice too but leans a little too masculine for me. I like the dry down. Thanks for your videos! I always enjoy.
Let the newly shipped perfumes settle for a minimum of 2 weeks. There is a chemical reaction that occurs in both wine and perfume when jostled. (I won’t get technical) I find some of my “loves” I hated when I first smelled and then 6 months to 1 year later I was in love.
Totally get what you mean about tiziana terenzi perfumes.i only have one and it's tabit.i like the sister house so much more like v canto stricnina and mirabelle. 😊❤
TT smells like ambroxan especially like JHAG not a perfume superdose. Andromeda smells like herbal essence and I LIVE for it. Greenwich village totally has the same sharp note as br540 but they are step cousins twice removed lol. I decluttered Greenwich this week since I never reached for it this summer. It has a fruity funk that’s a little hard for me.
Nice haul, Jackie! I'll definitely have to get the new Argos fragrances! And just in case anyone is interested, Dapper has a beautiful dupe of Hufflepuff... it is excellent 👌
I agree! I have the Dapper version and a sample of the real deal. I sprayed each on an arm and could not tell the difference in the smell. The only difference is that the Dapper one actually lasted longer. I would still love the cupcake someday but right now I'm good with the dupe.
I really want to try Greenwich village but bond no9 are really not much of a thing in the UK... I've never seen them, even in high end stores. I probably need to order a sample. I am the same as you, I didn't love br540, happy to hear they aren't that similar 😊
I’m shocked you don’t have house of sillage Minnie Mouse. It’s a gourmand lover’s heaven dream. IT’s raspberry marshmallow and dries down as a vanilla caramel marshmallow.
Hi Jackie! Yup, that Marcie sure is good at giving me FOMO... She recently talked of Ouverture and another Xerjoff in a video and made me want to shop... I resisted... But, I might try to find a sample. Lira does seem to get stronger in time. That one and Itallica play hide n seek when I wear them. One minute I wonder if the scent has vanished and the other, I smell it just fine. Only have one Tiziana Terenzi and it also needed some settling down/macerating time.
I love Greenwich Village also and am a fan of BR540, but they are very different. Greenwich is a lot more fruity and airy. The similar vibe is the ambroxan that people are picking up I think. Ouverture is amazing ❤!
Awesome video Jackie! I feel the same way about BR540 and I’ve always wanted to try Greenwich Village. Now it’s at the top of my list! Rouge Smoking was a love at first sniff for me and I got a great deal on fragrance net! Where do you find fragrances at a discounted price?
Hi Jackie, that is a nice haul. I have Lira and Ex Indolo. Do you think Unknown Pleasures would be a safe blind buy if you love them both? I think I am the only one on the planet who doesn't like the Argos bottles. I just don't like that Roman/Greek aestethic. Same with Electimuss. They are just not refined, elegant or classy to me. Plus you can kill someone with them lol. TT is not a house I match with, so I have stopped testing. I have Lince, what a stinker, trying to offload. I would love to have a cupcake, but they don't sell them in the Netherlands. I'm not gonna order from the US; they're pricey enough as it is.
I think there is a good chance you’ll love unknown pleasures if you enjoy lemon gourmands. I can’t guarantee it of course, but unknown pleasures is so good to me! ❤️
Hi Jackie! That’s quite the haul! 😮 I’m interested in sampling Argos, especially the new one coming out! Do you think the T. Terenzi fragrance tester you loved in the store had had time to settle and sit? Maybe yours will smell the same after a little macerating. I hope you love it as much as the tester.
I detest BR540 and Greenwich Village does not smell like that to me. I am a huge fan of Bond No9. Is that Nomad on your shelf? I love Nomad, but my number Bond is Dubai Platinum. Tiziana Terenzi is not a house I am a fan of either but I had a decant of Andromeda and it was okay but not a love. You probably need to let it macerate. I love Rouge Smoking. Lira by Xerjoff was a tad too sweet for me.
Hello Jackie, when it comes to Titiana Terenzi can I suggest you sample Al Contrario if you haven’t? I own it and personally I don’t detect musk in it because it’s a gourmand and I think it’s mostly the fruity perfumes from TT that have that musk. Al Contrario is scrumptious, but since you tried so many maybe you weren’t into it? Also have you sniffed Dionisio?
@@Shesmellsamazing oh Al Contrario is similar to Tribeca? Thanks for addressing that. I’m yet to test Bonds, but I’ll make sure to check how they compare: it’s a great scent profile.
Amazing haul Jackie! I’ve just gotten to Lancôme part and I have a question about it does it smell similar to Armani my way parfum? I don’t do well with iris but my way parfum is one I love so if it’s similar I’ll probably get it🙂
I’ve been testing the Birth of Venus sample that came with my order and at first it was really medicinal, but that went away each time I wore it. Now it’s a pretty candied raspberry
Hey Miss Jax!!! Another great video. Question: re: the leather note in the upcoming Argos release, how does this one compare or not to Overture Woman from Amouage? I’m really looking for that “wow” factor, special occasion fragrance and I’ve been considering Overture but now this one has me curious. Your thoughts?
They are both very different perfumes with a wow factor! 😆 idk if I could choose. I love both but they are both very new to me. I’m wearing Fall of Phaeton now and I’m in love. 💕
Argos as a company is trash with the worst customer service along with another scamming of a brand. It’s been over a month since I’ve email them, I never got a response. Yet they wrote on their page if you have a return/exchange, contact customer service first. I learned my lesson, I’ll never purchase from brands like this again.
Happy Saturday Jackie.🤗 I'm so happy that you smelled bond NO.💚🩵 9 Greenwich Village for yourself. I have it since last year was one of my birthday fragrances . It took me a good year or so to make my mind up about getting that sent. I love it I love it I love it. I also have A 🎇ndromeda 🩷🎇but what I was going to say is just let it sit because it's in transit it's being moved around it might not smell quite like you remembered. I adore Andromeda I've had it for 2 years and I'll replace it once I'm out of my 100 ml bottle. This past week one of my birthday fragrances was Cassiopeia and I love her She's beautiful I think I'm going to be wearing it this fall and we'll see. samples. Girl I ended up buying ARGOS POUR FEMME ✨. I ORDERED THAT SENT AFTER I SAW THAT ARGOS WAS OUT OF STOCK ON THE 30 MIL BOTTLE OF THE BIRTH OF VENUS. SO I DID ORDER 100 ML BOTTLE OF ✨POUR FEMME ✨ AND I'M EXCITED. I INITIALLY ORDERED THE SEVEN PACK DISCOVERY OIL SET. I 🤩🤗✨💖🌅. 🎊. HOW DOES XERJOFF LIRA COMPARE WITH YOUR DAMA BIANCA? CHECK OUT SOME OF MY BIRTHDAY FRAGRANCES THAT I RECEIVED ON WEDNESDAY WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE JACKIE.
You'd be so fun to go perfume shopping with! I also like to take my time and smell everything that I'm not normally able to test.
My friends and family can only take so much but I could literally smell perfumes all day lol 😆

Ouveture is so good! I’m so glad you recommended it! ❤️
Argos perfume has 2 mls sample of all perfume . That will be my lists to buy.
Performance is a tough issue. When I first got into the fragrance hobby, I blind bought six designers based on UA-camr recommendations. I liked or loved all of them & one was Gucci Pour homme 2, which I knew had pore performance. It lasted about only an hour but I got compliments & found it relaxing. I later found that laying it with Molecule 02 made it last almost 8 hours on my skin but I would have been fine with it even if it didn't.
I agree, there are so many factors that go into performance. Sometimes the scent just makes it worth it. 💕
I looove Iris! I need to get my nose on this LVB flanker!
Hi Jackie! I’m so glad you reviewed La Vie Est Belle Iris Absolue! I tried it with zero expectations since I don’t really like the original, but Iris Absolue stole my heart 🤯
Me too! My mouth fell open when I tried it in store. I was like, whoa! I love this.

I think the Greenwich Village and Tribeca bottles are just beautiful in their simplicity. Period. Love looking at them and handling them.
Yes! I’m obsessed with the color of Greenwich village. It reminds me of sea turtles lol
I’m a huge Harry Potter fan too!! Love your choices for September!
Thank you. I have read all the books and watched all the movies several times. Lol 🤓

Can’t wait to try the new Argos fragrances 😉 I agree I pulled the trigger on Ouverture and I’m so glad I did. Yes I get the whole fig too 😂
Ok I’m glad to hear that because I could have sworn I smell the whole fig! Lol 😆

Hi Jackie! I adore Greenwich Village 💚 Andromeda wasn’t for me. It does have that TT musk. I know what you mean. All the ones I’ve tried have it

I purchased the sample set of Argos Perfumes. I don't normally lean towards fruity fragrances BUT Birth of Venus. OMG the peach, it was an immediate eye roll inhale moment.

I definitely know what you mean with the Tiziana Terenzi. I hate that something. I only like Cassiopea. It doesn’t have that something.
Totally get what you mean about tiziana terenzi perfumes.i only have one and it's tabit.i like the sister house so much more like v canto stricnina and mirabelle. 😊❤
I have a dupe of greewhich village and layered it with yara and love that combo.
I just got my Argos package yesterday, and spent the evening going through it all and dissecting them.
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts ❤️
I love Tiziana terenzi.. love Cassiopea.. I’d say give andromeda a shot and let it sit a bit 😊
TT smells like ambroxan especially like JHAG not a perfume superdose. Andromeda smells like herbal essence and I LIVE for it.
Greenwich village totally has the same sharp note as br540 but they are step cousins twice removed lol. I decluttered Greenwich this week since I never reached for it this summer. It has a fruity funk that’s a little hard for me.

Nice haul, Jackie! I'll definitely have to get the new Argos fragrances! And just in case anyone is interested, Dapper has a beautiful dupe of Hufflepuff... it is excellent 👌
I agree! I have the Dapper version and a sample of the real deal. I sprayed each on an arm and could not tell the difference in the smell. The only difference is that the Dapper one actually lasted longer. I would still love the cupcake someday but right now I'm good with the dupe.
Nice!!
Amazing haul
Thank you! 🤗
We definitely have the same reaction to Argos. Love over war is okay but not full bottle worthy. Birth of Venus is great but leans to feminine for me.
I really want to try Greenwich village but bond no9 are really not much of a thing in the UK... I've never seen them, even in high end stores. I probably need to order a sample. I am the same as you, I didn't love br540, happy to hear they aren't that similar 😊
I keep reaching for Greenwich village. It’s such an easy beautiful wear for me. It’s definitely worth getting your nose on.
I thought the same about Hufflepuff's performance. Agree. BUTTTT.... I'm going to forgive that because that bottle is GLORIOUS! 🎉
Right? I don’t even care that the performance is not great. I have zero regrets. It’s freaking delicious.
@@jaxbeautifulyou agree! It's delightful to look at every time I pass by it. That's good enough for me.

Great haul Jackie!! Noted.. add fall of phaeton to wishlist.. 😊
I’m shocked you don’t have house of sillage Minnie Mouse. It’s a gourmand lover’s heaven dream. IT’s raspberry marshmallow and dries down as a vanilla caramel marshmallow.

Not sure what you think of ginger but Jo Malone's Ginger Biscuit is being released for the holidays. Beautiful fragrance.

I love Greenwich Village also and am a fan of BR540, but they are very different. Greenwich is a lot more fruity and airy. The similar vibe is the ambroxan that people are picking up I think. Ouverture is amazing ❤!
I feel they are very different as well. I can’t seem to get enough of Greenwich village. I keep reaching for it.
@@jaxbeautifulyou it is so addictive and makes me feel extra feminine and put together so I'm right with you on this one!

Great haul Jackie!! Some really great picks! Excited to try Argos and so glad you got Hufflepuff!!😊
It's so good! I’m so happy I got it too.
Please what are your perfumes in the background? Would you do a video on them please 😊?
I have a recent full perfume collection video I just did on my channel. ❤️
Nice haul! I own this flanker of LVEB and the iris really makes it so much more elevated than the OG. 👌🏻👌🏻❤️❤️
I totally agree! 💯 I absolutely love it.
😮 wow what a haul! Love to watch another video of yours Jackie ❤
Yay! Thank you!
Do yourself a favor and layer Rouge Smoking and Velvet Tonka!!!!
That’s sounds amazing!!
Wow what a haul! Several that I’d like to try.
Thank you 😊
Hi Jackie, that is a nice haul. I have Lira and Ex Indolo. Do you think Unknown Pleasures would be a safe blind buy if you love them both? I think I am the only one on the planet who doesn't like the Argos bottles. I just don't like that Roman/Greek aestethic. Same with Electimuss. They are just not refined, elegant or classy to me. Plus you can kill someone with them lol. TT is not a house I match with, so I have stopped testing. I have Lince, what a stinker, trying to offload. I would love to have a cupcake, but they don't sell them in the Netherlands. I'm not gonna order from the US; they're pricey enough as it is.
I think there is a good chance you’ll love unknown pleasures if you enjoy lemon gourmands. I can’t guarantee it of course, but unknown pleasures is so good to me! ❤️
@@jaxbeautifulyou Thank you!
Start fragrance combining with andromeda
I have bond no 9. Three that I bought during holiday trio set. Sadly they do not perform. Won’t purchase again!! 😢
Oh no! Sorry to hear that? My Greenwich village seems to be performing well. The only other bond no 9 I have is NY nights and I adore that one.
Fabulous picks ❤
I much prefer Greenwich Village to BR540. I ended up getting a bottle of it, but wouldn't even consider BR540.
Agree!! 💕
By the way, the "same vibe" is usually referred to as the DNA of a house. You find it with a lot of the fragrance houses.
You are gorgeous! Love the eye makeup ❤
Thank you so much!!
Hi Jackie!
That’s quite the haul! 😮 I’m interested in sampling Argos, especially the new one coming out!
Do you think the T. Terenzi fragrance tester you loved in the store had had time to settle and sit? Maybe yours will smell the same after a little macerating. I hope you love it as much as the tester.
Yes, I definitely think it needs time to settle. I’m not giving up on it yet 😆 thanks for watching. ❤️
Hi Jackie! If you don't mind....may i ask what lipstick are you wearing today? It looks gorgeous on you.
Thank you 😊. It’s Natasha Denona I need a nude lip in shade Amorosa. ❤️
I detest BR540 and Greenwich Village does not smell like that to me. I am a huge fan of Bond No9. Is that Nomad on your shelf? I love Nomad, but my number Bond is Dubai Platinum. Tiziana Terenzi is not a house I am a fan of either but I had a decant of Andromeda and it was okay but not a love. You probably need to let it macerate. I love Rouge Smoking. Lira by Xerjoff was a tad too sweet for me.
It’s NY nights ❤️ I definitely am looking to add some more bond no 9 into my collection.
Maybe you should think about doing a giveaway
Hello Jackie, when it comes to Titiana Terenzi can I suggest you sample Al Contrario if you haven’t? I own it and personally I don’t detect musk in it because it’s a gourmand and I think it’s mostly the fruity perfumes from TT that have that musk. Al Contrario is scrumptious, but since you tried so many maybe you weren’t into it? Also have you sniffed Dionisio?
Al Contrario is similar to Tribeca. Both are soo good
@@Shesmellsamazing oh Al Contrario is similar to Tribeca? Thanks for addressing that. I’m yet to test Bonds, but I’ll make sure to check how they compare: it’s a great scent profile.
@@karolinae.8949Yes, I think if you love one you’ll love the other.
Amazing haul Jackie! I’ve just gotten to Lancôme part and I have a question about it does it smell similar to Armani my way parfum? I don’t do well with iris but my way parfum is one I love so if it’s similar I’ll probably get it🙂
The overall composition of the fragrances are different, but the Iris is similar. Soft, feminine, and powdery…. I adore both of them.
Oh yes I love Hufflepuff
Did you try TT’s Delox? Didn’t you like that one?
That’s one I didn’t get to try. The bottle was empty! 😞
Smell like Intense cafe’ 🤧😊
@@jaxbeautifulyou awwwww that’s too bad. It’s the best one of all of them.
I’ve been testing the Birth of Venus sample that came with my order and at first it was really medicinal, but that went away each time I wore it. Now it’s a pretty candied raspberry
Do you get a nice ginger note with Fall of Pheaton. Also is it unisex or does it lean a certain way?
I get ginger and cardamom. I do feel like this is a pretty unisex fragrance.
Hey Miss Jax!!! Another great video. Question: re: the leather note in the upcoming Argos release, how does this one compare or not to Overture Woman from Amouage? I’m really looking for that “wow” factor, special occasion fragrance and I’ve been considering Overture but now this one has me curious. Your thoughts?
They are both very different perfumes with a wow factor! 😆 idk if I could choose. I love both but they are both very new to me. I’m wearing Fall of Phaeton now and I’m in love. 💕
@@jaxbeautifulyou that’s no help now I might have to get both!!! My poor wallet 💸💸💸😂😂
Lmao…. I know, as I typed my response I thought, this isn’t helpful, but it’s all I got. Haha 😂
@@jaxbeautifulyou 🤣🤣🤣 well I’ll just have to stay on the lookout for them both… 🪦🪦RIP to my bank account 😉
Cassiopeia is a lot like the Narco Oasis that you like. At least the first half of the journey is.
I definitely want to add Cassiopeia into my collection next Spring. ❤️
I have Andromeda and after buying it I don’t like it😢
😞
I am not a huge iris fan but that new la vie est belle is simply gorgeous
Yes! 🙌🏻 I really have been enjoying it.
Argos as a company is trash with the worst customer service along with another scamming of a brand. It’s been over a month since I’ve email them, I never got a response. Yet they wrote on their page if you have a return/exchange, contact customer service first. I learned my lesson, I’ll never purchase from brands like this again.
Hi Jackie! Love this haul 🔥I also just added Hufflepuff and rouge smoking to my collection.
Great minds! Lol 😆 💕
Try Meliora layered with greenwich village 😩🤍 compliments non stop! So gorgeous
Great idea!!
Happy Saturday Jackie.🤗 I'm so happy that you smelled bond NO.💚🩵 9 Greenwich Village for yourself. I have it since last year was one of my birthday fragrances . It took me a good year or so to make my mind up about getting that sent. I love it I love it I love it. I also have A 🎇ndromeda 🩷🎇but what I was going to say is just let it sit because it's in transit it's being moved around it might not smell quite like you remembered. I adore Andromeda I've had it for 2 years and I'll replace it once I'm out of my 100 ml bottle. This past week one of my birthday fragrances was Cassiopeia and I love her She's beautiful I think I'm going to be wearing it this fall and we'll see. samples. Girl I ended up buying ARGOS POUR FEMME ✨. I ORDERED THAT SENT AFTER I SAW THAT ARGOS WAS OUT OF STOCK ON THE 30 MIL BOTTLE OF THE BIRTH OF VENUS. SO I DID ORDER 100 ML BOTTLE OF ✨POUR FEMME ✨ AND I'M EXCITED. I INITIALLY ORDERED THE SEVEN PACK DISCOVERY OIL SET. I 🤩🤗✨💖🌅. 🎊. HOW DOES XERJOFF LIRA COMPARE WITH YOUR DAMA BIANCA? CHECK OUT SOME OF MY BIRTHDAY FRAGRANCES THAT I RECEIVED ON WEDNESDAY WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE JACKIE.
Ohhh so glad you got pour femme. It’s one of my favorites from the house.
