Great video as usual. I do love the way you talk (it makes me feel peaceful) and how you explain the fragrances. It's also great you give attention to affordable perfumes! Looking forward seeing your next video soon! 🌻
Hi Josephine. I am really happy to have chanced upon your channel and have been watching all of your videos. You are so refreshing, I love your passion, personality and knowledge. Your genuine love of perfume shines through the screen 💖 I also love how you are budget conscious. I find it challenging to have a perfume channel when it relies primarily on aquiring new perfumes. It can be hard to make videos when you are on a budget and can't always afford as much perfume as you would like! You have inspired me that it is more than possible. I must embrace my love of budget buys more. I look forward to more videos. Thanks for sharing your passion xx
Hi Josephine!!! Omg, I'm always anxiously anticipating ur next vid! As soon as i get my notif, I'm here!!! lol :) Thank u so much for sharing your buys with us, and for representing the Budget Perfume addicts out here, like myself! :) Naturally, I always gravitate towards the more affordable perfumes! It's just my nature! :) My recent Bored Buys, are two Elizabeth Arden fragrances I'd been stalking for some time, and wanting to try out. Red Door Revealed, and Pretty. Both are sooooo beautiful but my fave of the two, is Red Door Revealed. :) It, to me, is like a lighter, less overpowering version of the original Red Door, which is another one of my faves from back in the day. :) I'm just so in love with it right now!!! :) It just lingers throughout the day.... :) So far, I've gotten a couple indirect compliments at work, when I walk by and hear; "Wow, someone smells good". it's just nice to know that during a Pandemic, with all this mask wearing, a few can still smell my perfume, and appreciate it. That's just a great feeling, and will always be my most cherished, most flattering compliment. :) ♥♥♥
@@perfumetraveller1864 Awesome! :) The only issue I have is that the sprayer on Red Door Revealed comes out more like a body spray, than a perfume. 😒 But that's just me being nit-picky lol There's just something so classy and nostalgic about Elizabeth Arden fragrances. Looking to try Red Door Flankers; Red Door Aura, and maybe Shimmer as well. :) ♥
@@elenasmiley Well I think the point in wearing a mask is pretty obvious. But as an avid perfume lover/wearer, I sometimes question what's the point of even wearing perfume when everyone's wearing masks and therefore, may not be able to smell it. Then I realize we perfume lovers not only wear perfume because we love the smell and live for the compliments. We wear it because we enjoy how it makes us feel. :) I find perfume can also be a comfort and a mood lifter to others around us, especially in times like these. And whether you pay $25 or $250, you really can't put a price on that feeling. :)
@@tigger7466 I totally agree. I am slowly making my way through the Fifth Avenue flankers and love them all, particularly Royale, I would really recommend that one. Beautiful big bottle and $20 what could be better? 🌹
Thanks for sharing your perfume haul 🌻 I love your content and I have Saint and Sinner too. I enjoy them. Fragrances are what I prefer to spend my coins on at the moment too. Affordable fragrances are awesome 💛
Love that you’re not trying to get into the niche reviews! I don’t understand this trend nor can I justify the price point. I sometimes feel like it’s pure showing off (I know, I will get accused of jealousy).
I love your calm spirit and personality! I also love that you do not focus on niche! I am a designer girl myself and do not like most of the niche that I have tried. ❤
I like that you review affordable fragrances. I bought alot lately. Ugh ..Vince commuto fiore and divina .dolce garden alien sublime 360 coral 4 brittany spears flankers and then some lol. Its so fun! My faves alien sublime jimmy choo fever .I love perfume !
My latest perfume buys today was Britney Spears private show a repurchase I missed it in my collection and I stalked down the English laundry perfumes in tj Maxx and I got em and love em and sunflowers rain kissed for these summer days to try I feel it will smell beautiful in the heat 😊
I adore issey miyake. Since you like soapy perfumes, have you tried oscar de la renta volupte? It has a strong soap element with a green start that goes to a powdery base. You might like it! I love your channel. You are such a breath of fresh air. Elegant and beautiful and not fake. I am also an affordable perfume lover. Just the way i was raised. 💖
You're so fun to watch! And your finds are unique compared to the fragrance community here on youtube. My recent discoveries: Louis Feraud Soleil de Jade Naomi Campbell Naomi edt And one I didn't really enjoy that is SJP NYC
I appreciate that you focus on affordable fragrances. I will likely never buy a $300 perfume, no matter how lovely it is! I Those Azzaro perfumes sound really nice! Recent buys: Tea Rose, Truth or Dare Naked, Rose Extase, Diesel Plus Plus...
Affordable and accessible? Yes, please! I've gotten Glow (by J Lo) recently - I LOVE clean smelling fragrances - and yes, I enjoy when they're affordable and accessible so I can...erm...over spray🙈. I get the most compliments when I go lam.🙈😆 Thanks for the share! I truly appreciate your content.
This was great thanks for sharing with us..l loooving affordable Perfumes also.😉 My bored buys are rose wood by banana republic Raffinee Nanette lepore Play it wild by Playboy😉 3 from Barry drewmoore D&G 3 Lmp 3 from Vince camuto AND many many .....many more 🤣 stay safe and well 🙏🏼 tfs
Omg this pandemic has made increased my collection exponentially!!! Ugh hahaha my favorites out of my bored/curious/excited buys have been Still by Jlo (my favorite blind buy out of maybe 20++), Agent Provocateur Fatale Pink (so identical to Chanel Chance Tendre), fcuk friction, Jessica Simpson Fancy, Versace Versense, Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Pera Granita to name a few.. oh and yes, I do have bored buys fails too ugh! I’m gonna have to stalk my Ross soon and hope that they carry those Azzaro’s!! Such a steal! :)
@@esicaruth if you like peach try Al Rehab's Tooty Musk, it's a strong peach with a rich vanilla musk & also Paris Hilton Heiress. They turn sour on me so I gave them away but they're cheapies you might love ❤️
Bored perfume buys: Nina Ricci Rose l'extase Absolue Van Cleef and Arpels First Lancome Hypnose Chantal Thomass Ozes Moi Cacharel Yes I am I liked all of them but my favorites are the Nina Ricci and Cacharel.
I love the way you declared " I stalked this one for a while and then went out and bought it" (Issey M. Pure EDT) hahaha....and I mean literally that is what most of us do...stalk for a while a perfume, spy it on the net....check it out for a while to see if the prices get better or even a sale and then like a shark we go and attack! hahaha...great! Love as always your reviews dear Josephine we are all here for the " affordable options" Niche is way out of my reach at least, I live in Denmark, and our taxes are already sky high, so you can imagine paying almost double " importing" a frag from a niche website! Love & Take care dear! I have bough many many many in the lockdown....I kind of stopped now cause I want to start to use some...But I can say that with the warm weather I have had this new obsession for Neroli & Citruses....and more unisex affordable options: - Ferrari Bright Neroli is gorgeous, so fresh - Alvaro Gomez Eau de Cologne (1912) - Roberto Cavalli Paradiso -Jimmy Choo Illicit - Oscar de la Renta Something Blue -Zara 9.0, Warm Black & Night Pour Homme III Intense (Unisex) - Mugler Muse EDT - JPG Scandal By Night - Elie Saab GON Forever -Chloe Nomade -Repetto EDT
Uris Rullan absolutely! It just walked through the door so first impressions: fresh, sweet rose. Not so dissimilar from Artisan Perfumer’s Tea Rose but PSR has tea and magnolia in it which reminds me of rose water and B&BW rose (which has jasmine instead of magnolia). It’s got some serious projection on (off?) me, by the way. I love it already! I hope that helps! I think a couple sellers on eBay have listed it for $36; I picked up mine as a 90% partial off Mercari for $21 ($18 + shipping). Cheers! 💐❤️
I love your Ross & Tj max hauls!! You’re so fun to watch and seem so genuine!
Thanks for your kind comment!

Not to become political here, but if they can smell your perfume through the mask when you just walk by, what’s the point of wearing a mask?
Love Red Door too (Original and Revealed) ❤

I love eating peaches but in perfume peach turns so sour on me, I have found it to be one of my least favorite notes ☹️
Hmm...I'm opposite! I like neither peaches nor peach fragranced cosmetics...but it's a common note in many of my favourite fragrances!
@@esicaruth Love it!
