    Best compliment I ever received was from my hair dresser. She said, “it’s been an honor smelling you for the past hour! You smell amazing!” I was wearing girl of now shine.

    The only one I don't have and didn't sniff is Shine.
    I adore the OG , Forever and Lovely. Those scents just do it for me,they become a part of me,I don't know how to explain it.
    Regarding to Lovely, you have to know that it is NOT the fresher take on the OG. It is even more potent. You can feel the mint only for a short time but then it becomes as sweet as it is but with a kick. I mean,I am probably very subjective. I just can't get enough of all of these. And can't wait to get my nose on the shine and bring it to my collection!

    I have a Girl of Now sample and it's DIVINE! I am hoping one day to be able to have a full bottle of that lovely scent. Maybe I should have avoided the sample since it's so out of my price range, but dang, it's so good! Now, I want to sniff the other two, especially the Shine because of that pineapple, but maybe I should hold myself back, LOL. I really love your haircut! ~Cynthia

      Cynthia, do you shop on the online sites? the prices are better than in store...it's still a good chunk of change though. Have you ever tried buying off of Mercari? the states has this site where you buy used bottles that people are selling...a lot of times (according to women that have used it) you can get really good deals if you keep your eye on it...I think it's Mercari.com

      @@mariacollettlife Yes, I do shop online, mostly beause I have to, living in a rural mountain area. I have cruised Mercari a few times, but seems eveirything I want is always sold. Day late and a dollar short, as the saying goes, LOL. I do keep track on Ebay and have found a tester bottle for $43, which is the best deal I've found, probably the best I'll ever find, but it's hard to spend that much. I've been thrifty for so many years out of necessity and now, with our world the way it is, it's difficult to spend that much on a fragrance when, well, there are other needs more pressing. But, it is so tempting! I do love it and at least, this time, it wouldn't be another blind buy! Thank you, Maria. I guess I'll have to be more diligent about checking Mercari.

    Hi Maria!
    I love your new hair cut and style 🌟 I recently had five inches cut. It's slightly longer than yours.
    I found the og too sharp and thick. Shine is my much more my taste, but I wish the Pineapple was more prominent. Haven't tried Forever yet. The latest one sounds very interesting.

    Hello Maria,
    I have never smelled any from this line of perfumes. I hear Shine being talked about the most as people's favourite. Hopefully I will smell them one day. I think I assumed they would be too sweet for me. Sometimes when I test something out that I overlooked I can be pleasantly surprised.
    Thanks for your video and have a good day!

    Y’all want to know something kind of cool? I didn’t expect this but if you have the OG GON and JPG scandal by night, spray them side by side and wait 5 minutes. They smell so so similar , almost identical.
    I could barely smell the difference between the 2

    Hey Maria, I am really excited about this video. I have all 4 of them. For the longest time I loved Forever the most, I love the raspberry in it, but you are right, that it is so long lasting that it becomes tiring. Lovely is the lightest of them all, and could definitely be considered a Libre flanker somehow. It is aromatic, but not lavender sharp. It is not green though, not really. I would have loved to have the mint to be a bit colder.

  • @Danit.Talkscentswithme

    The OG GON and the shine version are tied for me, one for fall & winter, the other in spring, I still wear forever in the summer when I’m in the mood for it. I might give it to my daughter n law so it gets more love and use.

    Hello, beautiful! Don't you look fab! I'm still living out of my suitcase (since FIFA Qatar) until I get back home to the Middle East next month so not as active on media as I used to be. This is a great comparison video. GIRL OF NOW was my designated fragrance for my Qatar trip & is now attached to fond memories. I bought it specifically for it. It was my first bottle of GON & I was actually complimented on it! I combined GON with Bum Bum cream & Brazilian Crush body spray & a GUY said I smelled so good! I BETTER, right!!!!! 😂Bottle was used up in 8 weeks & I know I will buy another bottle at some point! Love from Atlanta!

    Great review of these three. I think the OG is the most satisfying pistachio smelling perfume. Dominic Ropion is amazing. Don’t love everything he’s made, for instance, Jasmine Kusomono for Armani Privé really disappointed me, but he has created some of my most beloved fragrances in my collection. ❤

      Pistachio yum goes amazing with Love Don't be Shy, Orianna or Ansaam gold...it would go well with any orange blossom fragrance. You could also put it with any vanilla. Out of the GON, I would pair GON original if I wanted more pistachio and warmth. I would pair shine if I wanted some juiciness from the pineapple.
