🙌. I am always thinking of the fall, because it's my favorite season. Seeing as I love bakery gourmands, so not the fruity type, I am not going wild over summer fragrances. But I have to say, I have been buying more freshies this year and I am starting to have a whole new appreciation for them. I am so excited and glad you bought the Love & Crime decant. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it. I experience it to be super strong and dare I say even more delicious than the illustrious Lira. If I may recommend a summer gourmand to you (I don't know if you have already spoken about it): Disumano by Morph. Caramel and coconut goodness.
Hi there! 💖 I'd love to try Disumano. I keep forgetting to look for a decant - I'll do that today. Love & Crime is Lira on steroids. Really good! I sampled it yesterday morning. I'm with you - the bakery gourmands call to me more than the fruity ones although I like those too! 🥰💖
High five for fall❤😊 I like the linear vanillas in the high heat like West Indies St Barth, Montale vanille absolu, sweet vanillh and Vaniglia Mazzorali. They don't perform so well in the winter so I've discovered they need the high heat for projection.
I've gotta look into some of these ♡ gourmands are an obsession for me. I can not get enough!! I am good with having 1 really good freshie in my collection but give me all the gourmand and woody fragrances 🥰
👊 Not many gourmand scents agree with Southern heat and humidity. One that has pleasantly surprised me is Mont Blanc Signature with the orange Creamsicle vibe.
I love Love & Crime. I think you will enjoy it. It’s a favorite of mine during fall and winter. Kyse makes some fantastic fragrances. I enjoy Zucchero Filato. It’s cotton candy, sugary goodness. Completely unrelated to fragrance, I always love the jewelry you wear. I’m a jewelry girl, so I notice the different pieces you wear. Really beautiful. 😊
Hi there! 💖 I tested Love & Crime yesterday and really enjoyed. Very much as described - Lira x10. I've enjoyed sampling Kyse - lots of goodies. Thank you for the jewelry comment! I'm a big fan of John Hardy jewelry and some Konstantino jewelry. 💖🥰💖🥰
Have you tried Mugler Wonder Bouquet? It’s a floral with a strong note of brioche. Sort of a “quasi” gourmand type of thing. It actually works very well in the heat!
Not yearning for autumn fragrances yet Veronica! However it's raining and chilly in the UK today so BDK's Gris Charnel is my SOTD - cosy autumn vibes in the summer 😊 Wishing you a lovely weekend 💖💖
Amo Ferragamo is one of my favorite citrus vanillas! The citrus isn't literal orange, its an orangey liquor not with rhubarb, so its orangey liquor with tartness then yummy vanilla! Its the only one that works in high heat because of the tart juiciness
Dua is another house that I have tried so much to like but cant. I received Pistachio Gelato and Creamy Cocquito in June after their Father's Day Sale and I just sold them both on Mecari. I just got the Julianna's Perfume version of Love Don't Be Shy. It's fantastic! I have travel size of Tribeca from microperfumes. I don't love it but I don't hate it. It smells like cardboard box to me lmao I love sweet but lord 71 is sooooo sweet. I am glad I didn't take it back though, it's good for layering to sweeten up. I'll definitely layer 62 & 71, thanks for what idea!
Hi! 💖🥰 I know what you mean about Dua. It's a love/hate for me with their scents. Not cardboard box for Tribeca?! < clutches her pearls > 😩😩😩 Yes, 71 would be great for layering. 👍👍👍
🙌🏻 We’ve had a “cold” snap where I live. It’s only been 82 degrees for the past 2 days! So I’ve been wearing ambers and gourmands. I will MAKE it become autumn sooner by sheer force of will!!😂
👋👋👋👋👋. I loveeeeeeee your videos so much but also we have similar humour so I keep coming back for the jokes even if I never would wear any of the perfumes you talk about (most are feminine that’s why). Keep up the great energy :)) Plus that days of our life joke killed me 😂😂😂😂
🙌 Arizona here where it’s 115-118 degrees!!! 😢 I am not a huge fan of florals or citrus scents but lemon is my jam note right now! So Hufflepuff and Bake and Ambrosia Imperial and Kilian Princess are my Go To right now!
Yay! ❤ Always enjoy your videos. There are fewer reviewers by the day that I trust. Our noses arent the same (uh- obviously), but I trust in your genuine, transparent, and descriptive suggestions- thanks for another delightful, relaxing opporrunity for creative (and expensive) procrastination. 😂 I Thoroughly enjoy you. ❤
What a LOVELY comment, Aimee! 💖🥰 Yes, I will always give my opinion. The freedom to do so comes with my age and respect for my viewers' time and hard earned money. I love procrastinating too! 😄😄😄
@@VeronicaSays Yes that’s what I was thinking!! 71 has macadamia and 62 has pistachio & almond so it would be like a beautiful bowl of mixed nuts ! Hehe 😜
Verónica, hola. Random interrupción: the place near Tulum is Boca Paila! Where the Caribbean meets a lagoon is a zen like Peace... no tourists. There are little boat rides and you need ro rent a jeep or 4x4 as the road is unpaved. Memorize if you ever wish to visit.
@VeronicaSays I hope you like it. When you drive there, you will go on a path with many little restaurants (for tourists) and boutiques with very sensual yet attractive beachwear and resort wear :) Hope I never mislead :)
This has got to be the coldest winter we have ever had in recent years☃️☃️🥶🥶. In spring I will be wearing my gourmands like Lira, Panettone, Cafe Cabanel, La Danza and Yum😋😋. I have realised that some of my fragrances get neglected because I’m waiting for the right season or whatever but no more🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️. I love these recommendations👌👌. Stay gorgeous 🥰🥰
Yes, Pinkie! 🥰 Thank you! Although I make seasonal fragrance videos, I am all about reaching for whatever you're in the mood for! I have a bottle of Panettone on the way! Woohoo!
It’s definitely the mimosa note that gives Fire at Will the fizzy nature. It comes through the same exact way in Champaca Absolute by Tom Ford and it also has mimosa! FAW had me at hello🥰🤗 & my kind of gourmand🤤
@@VeronicaSays In a box, in my closet. Away from light and temperature changes. My vintage perfumes (from my mom and grandmothers) have survived longer that way.
👊 I definitely love fall scents but not in a rush to get there. Once it's cold where I live, it stays cold until May. I have been a little bummed and uninspired about my summer frags. Some of my favorite warm weather scents (all Dua OGs) went bad despite being stored properly.
@@VeronicaSaysNot just the vanilla forward scents but scents with vanilla in it. I had some really nice summer staples that were fruity floral, fruity and tropical where the vanilla note disappeared and smells off. I've tried layering them with other basic vanillas but it just reminds me of what I lost vs enhancing the scent.
I have Ex Idolo Love and Crime. At the time, it was more accessible and affordable than Lira. I haven't tried it out in hot weather. Mostly I wear it in that fall transition season. I don't have any of the others on your list today. I do like citrus in the heat, but I don't really lump them into gourmand because they are fresh and zesty. Thank Veronica! 😊💛
Great list of fragrances! Ever since I moved to a place with central air conditioning, I'm enjoying summer. 🤣 No more window units EVAH! I just bought Sol Cheirosa recently and was wearing it one day when a sales assistant at a shop at the mall said very loudly "who's wearing Sol de Janeiro?!" and I had to fess up it was me, lol.
I can’t believe summer is almost over (school starts back in a couple weeks, and I homeschool but I still usually start around that time myself)! We had an unusually rainy, cooler June so barely went to neighborhood pool till July. I love gourmands! I used to loathe them until about two years ago and now I adore them. The Trussardi (cannot ever remember the name), a dupe for Love don’t be shy, and Lira are the only ones I have from this list but they are lovely!
Our June was on the cooler side also. Your schools start in TWO WEEKS? Wow! That's early! Enjoy these two weeks, my friend! You have three lovelies from this list! 🥰🥰🥰
🙋🏽♀️ Give me fall! I don’t necessarily hate summer but I believe it can only be enjoyed near water as in a beach or pool. Otherwise I can skip it.😂 I am a bum bum cream girl. I, like you, west it whenever because it smells divine. If I find a good price I may pick up the parfum.
Yes! I totally agree! Give me a screened in porch with a powerful fan or a pool for me to really enjoy being outdoors in summer. The Bum Bum Cream is LIFE! Sooooo delicious! 💖🥳
Hi Veronica..you look cool as a cucumber m'dear...so glad that you mentioned Demeter! 😍 I'm a big fan, it's affordable aromatherapy, unique, and versatile. I just ordered some refills..'Lemon Meringue' & 'Midnight Orchid' (& a few others, 🍅⛈️🔥🥕🌲🌼) LOLs. Really nice to layer with other scents, stand alone, or even (room spray ; ) 'Passegiata' sounds beautiful for Fall, I'll look for it 💕
Thank you kindly! 💖🥰 The Demeter Library is fantastic! So many scents to try! And the colognes double as room and Linen sprays. It's a win all around! 👍👍👍
Girl yes, I am ready for Fall and Fall scents. I like warm weather, but this D.C. humidity makes it unbearable. I’d be fine having two seasons, Fall and Spring 😂
I love summer because I love hot weather, and I love the beach, BUT all I want to wear are gourmands right now. Give me all the sweet and edible goodies! ❤
Hey Vee💕💕 I was actually caught off guard last week going into HomeGoods and seeing all the Halloween decor out😳😮 I’m thinking “wait, we still have plenty of July to get through” 😐…i need to savor these last couple of weeks because the Fall avalanche is coming!!
Hi Evelyn! 🥰 Well, I'm one of those freaks that just gets giddy when the Halloween stuff comes out so just ignore me and my enthusiasm over here 😂 There is plenty of summer to still enjoy!
I bought 4 T.K. samples, LEMON TART, it made me nauseous on first sniff. I have never had that happen before with any fragrance🤷. Great video, love your outfit, lip color is a perfect match.
I’m glad to hear you like Bake - I’ll have to try it now as everyone I trust loves it too. I’m enjoying Bois Farine (L’Artisan Parfumeur) as my July gourmand as it’s very cool here right now and it smells of warm flour - edible but isn’t sweet. Btw Candy floss = cotton candy in the UK where the Perfume Society is based I think 😊
Thanks for the candy floss note! That makes total sense. 😄 Bake is worth a sniff! And Bois Farine sounds like one I should sample. Warm flour sounds DIVINE! 🥰
I love when I get to have my toast and coffee with you!! 🫶🏼 Passegiatta sounds so amazing! 🤩 I feel like those florals would keep it from being too gourmand for me! 🧡🧡🧡
I'm not done with Summer! The summer here took way too long to get here and I'm barely getting into it. 😢 I don't even want to think of back to school and Fall.😂 It's definitely the best perfume season for some reason though 😅
Fall is the best perfume season for sure! We all love the warm comforting scents of fall. Enjoy the rest of your summer! I know it's just getting going in your area. 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Veronica!!!✋🏻✋🏻 I started my fragrance obsession with a sample pack from Killian. I purchased Angels Share during the Spring Sephora sale. But…BUT…I just got out the sample of Love Don’t Be Shy and sprayed it. It’s SO good!!! Killian prices have increased recently, so I’m happy to look into the dupe. I’m here for all the gourmands. I love them! I love orange citrus, not wild about lemon😊 I have three Demeter fragrances…..Vanilla ice cream, Strawberry, and marshmallow. I use the Strawberry to amp up Yara, and the others to amp up….anything 😂 I also have the Sol edp…delicious! I hope you’re enjoying your summer. We are BROILING here at 110+ degrees for over a week now!🥵 It’s always such a pleasure to see you!❤️💕😘
Thank you so much, Leah! 💖 Oof, 110 degrees?! 🔥 🥵 Yikes! Kilian prices can be obscene! But what lovely perfumes. Demeter has so many amazing ones to enjoy! Something for everyone! 🫶✊️💕
Hi Veronica!!! Love so many of these, Lira, LDBS, Fire at Will, OMG so delicious and yummy!! I also enjoy wearing Delizia to bed :-) I'm re-testing Bake today, 1st time didn't really wowed me lol We'll see ha! Have a great weekend!!
🤘🤘❤ Already bought a few for Fall and Winter during the FragranceBuy Canada Day sale. But I'm still loving Summer! I was actually wondering about wearing Lira in the Summer. Love Don't Be Shy works nicely as well. Wore the banana one from Comptoir Sud Pacific yesterday and loved it. La Nuit Trésor Musc Diamant is sweet vanilla and raspberry and feels a little bit gourmand in Summer. Tried Mont Blanc Signature Absolue this week. It's too floral to be a gourmand but has a very nice vanilla in it. I would totally wear it to go out on a nice Summer night (or day).😍
Hi Cat! 💖 That sale had some GREAT offerings! What's the name of the CSP you wore (banana)? I've never tried Musc Diamant but it gets great reviews! 👍👍👍
@@VeronicaSays The CPS one is Vanille Banane. I think Marcy is the one who says it smells like banana laffy taffy. I kinda get banana cream pie vibes from it.
You look stunning, as always! Gourmands and summer are two of my favorite things! Have most of what you reviewed - just received my Akro. Of the Zara, Lira, and Bake - I love the opening of Lira the best and the drydown on Bake.. why does that always happen? Can't wait to hear your review of Love & Crime. I get a lot more orange and cocoa in L&C - it's like an orange poundcake with a cocoa powder finish vs. Lira's lemon poundcake caramel swirl. L&C has much better performance in all important ways.
Thank you, Teressa! 💖🥰 It would be great to snap our fingers and have the "best of this and that part" fragrance made! Love & Crime is definitely Lira on steroids. It was GOOD!
I'm actually not looking forward to fall fragrances, but I think that's only because I am not looking forward to fall because my teenage son is already complaining so much about back to school! I love cool-weather fragrances the best, though. For now I think really want Akro Bake, but I probably need to try it, though I have come close to blind-buying it. I need to try Delizia di Marshmallow, too. I do love LDBS for summer, also- it's a strictly summer scent for me. Other gourmands I love right now (coconut notes) are Luna Dulcius, and I'm also loving the new Sol de Janiero, Rio Radiance.
Hi Christine! 💖 I hope you get to try Bake and Delizia di Marshmallow. Both are worth a sniff! I wore Luna Dulcius recently. So, so, sooooo good! Love it. 🥰🥰🥰
No no no.... please let me enjoy a little bit more my summer time! I need my vitamin D. 😅😘 June was cloudy and rainy. We only got some sun on July only in Canada.
Great selection as always 😍 My go to gourmands this summer are: Ambrosia Imperiale from Navitus Bake Akro Remember Me Jovoy Inside Out Gate Fragrances Buontalenti Profumo di Firenze Moon Glory The Harmonist
I'm tired of summer already and I'm so ready for Washington autumn. I have a pumpkin fragrance from siren's song elixirs macerating and I'm so excited. As for summer fragrances I've really been enjoying some fruity fragrances from good chemistry and Skylar. I also love cheirosa 71, I smell like a walking subway white chocolate macadamia cookie and I i cant get enough
YES to Fall! I do not like summer, get headaches in the heat and humidity. I love gourmands any time of the year!
Hi Cynthia! Oh no! Not headaches??? 😩 I love gourmands too. 💖💖💖
I love how you describe fragrances. It's like taking a science class
Hi Laura! 💖🥰 Thank you! 💕💕💕
Veronica you look gorgeous today! Love the dress❤ … l just want to thank you for always offer different price points for all budgets ❤
Thank you so much! 💖🥰💕 I'm glad to offer options so we can all smell amazing! 👍
I’m REALLY excited to hear about the dupes that have stood the test of time!
Also LOVE gourmands so any extra gourmand videos would be awesome
It will be coming up soon! 💖 Thank you. And yes, many other gourmand videos will be coming.
🤩👋🏼 I’m so fragrant moody! I’m ALWAYS wanting to smell everything in the store I drive my gal friend crazy! Love your videos w/your humor!!
Thank you, Laura! 💖 Me too - I want to smell EVERYTHING! Even if I smelled it before 😂🥴😆
The dossier version of love don’t be shy is gorgeous and I’m going down that bottle pretty fast
They make really good dupes! 💖
The best❤
MY FAVORITE kinda fragrance!!! 🍭🍬🍫🍯🍪🎂🍦🍰 So excited for these picks!
Yay! Gourmands galore!!! 🥳🥳😂
I am loving Passegiatta. Have been wearing it in the heat. Tribecca is bae. The two have some similarities ❤❤

🙌. I am always thinking of the fall, because it's my favorite season. Seeing as I love bakery gourmands, so not the fruity type, I am not going wild over summer fragrances. But I have to say, I have been buying more freshies this year and I am starting to have a whole new appreciation for them. I am so excited and glad you bought the Love & Crime decant. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it. I experience it to be super strong and dare I say even more delicious than the illustrious Lira. If I may recommend a summer gourmand to you (I don't know if you have already spoken about it): Disumano by Morph. Caramel and coconut goodness.
Love & Crime is a good one!

High five for fall❤😊 I like the linear vanillas in the high heat like West Indies St Barth, Montale vanille absolu, sweet vanillh and Vaniglia Mazzorali. They don't perform so well in the winter so I've discovered they need the high heat for projection.
🫶🙌✊️👍 Those are fabulous for summer! Great decision!

Totally ready for fall scents AND weather LOL
That Atlanta heat will do that! It's brutal! 😩😩😩
I get depressed in the summer so I can't wait for my mood to improve in the fall/winter. Great videos like always!
Thank you so much! Fall is my "happy season."
👊 Not many gourmand scents agree with Southern heat and humidity. One that has pleasantly surprised me is Mont Blanc Signature with the orange Creamsicle vibe.
Ooo! Creamsicle sounds fabulous for the summer!
Hi Linda! 💖 Mont Blanc Signature was nearly part of this video - really good! 🥰
Akro Bake is everything!! 🙌😍 Sticks on my skin for ages, so yummy 😋 Everytime I wear it the family go crazy and want to gobble me up 😂🍋🥧 xx

Same! I enjoy citrus but now appreciate when it's blended with something else - florals, creamy notes, etc.

I just bought Sol Cheirosa recently and was wearing it one day when a sales assistant at a shop at the mall said very loudly "who's wearing Sol de Janeiro?!" and I had to fess up it was me, lol.
Oh my goodness! AC makes ALLLL the difference! I hope the sales assistant asked the question because he or she liked the scent! It's so good! 💖💖💖
@@VeronicaSays 😊oh yes, she loved the smell and was wearing bum bum cream that day.
@@dcjimr1 🥳🥳🥳
You are stunning. Loved your video. You took some time to explain things and share your approach and that's appreciated.
Thank you so much! 🥰💖
I can’t believe summer is almost over (school starts back in a couple weeks, and I homeschool but I still usually start around that time myself)! We had an unusually rainy, cooler June so barely went to neighborhood pool till July. I love gourmands! I used to loathe them until about two years ago and now I adore them. The Trussardi (cannot ever remember the name), a dupe for Love don’t be shy, and Lira are the only ones I have from this list but they are lovely!
Our June was on the cooler side also. Your schools start in TWO WEEKS? Wow! That's early! Enjoy these two weeks, my friend! You have three lovelies from this list! 🥰🥰🥰
@@VeronicaSays sorry, two and a half weeks. I’ll let my kiddos have three week cause mama’s not ready either. Haha!
@@kara8911 😂😂😂 I don't blame you! Take those extra days and enjoy your time and your kids! 🙏🙏🙏
🙌🏼 I’m getting my vanilla’s so I can let them mascerat so they will be good and ready to go by October.
Fall, here we come! Give us all the vanillas, please! 🥳🫶💖
Lira and Love & Crime are my favorites
I tried Love & Crime tonight! Gooooood! 💖🥰
🙋🏽♀️ Give me fall! I don’t necessarily hate summer but I believe it can only be enjoyed near water as in a beach or pool. Otherwise I can skip it.😂 I am a bum bum cream girl. I, like you, west it whenever because it smells divine. If I find a good price I may pick up the parfum.
Yes! I totally agree! Give me a screened in porch with a powerful fan or a pool for me to really enjoy being outdoors in summer. The Bum Bum Cream is LIFE! Sooooo delicious! 💖🥳
I still need to get my hands on a bottle of Demeter vanilla ice cream
It's a good one! 💖
Hi Veronica..you look cool as a cucumber m'dear...so glad that you mentioned Demeter! 😍
I'm a big fan, it's affordable aromatherapy, unique, and versatile. I just ordered some refills..'Lemon Meringue' & 'Midnight Orchid' (& a few others, 🍅⛈️🔥🥕🌲🌼) LOLs.
Really nice to layer with other scents, stand alone, or even (room spray ; )
'Passegiata' sounds beautiful for Fall, I'll look for it 💕
Thank you kindly! 💖🥰 The Demeter Library is fantastic! So many scents to try! And the colognes double as room and Linen sprays. It's a win all around! 👍👍👍
Sol Cheirosa 62 and the firmeza body oil also layer well together.. the 62 line is yummy 😋
Yessss! 💖 Super good stuff! 🥰
I got Dapper body cream and roll on oil in Lira and they are surprisingly good dupes as I have real Xerjoff Lira
Fabulous! 💖💖💖
Girl yes, I am ready for Fall and Fall scents. I like warm weather, but this D.C. humidity makes it unbearable. I’d be fine having two seasons, Fall and Spring 😂
Oh yes, plus Christmas 🎄! Skip the rest 😄 That DC humidity is NO JOKE!
Love Lira!! Xerjoff has really good fragrance!
Hi Justyna! 🥰 Yes, it's good! 💖💖💖
🙌🏻Yessss I’m ready for Fall!! I’m definitely a Fall girl🍁🍂🍃🎃
Me too, my fave season! 🫶🙌👍💖🎃🥰
I love summer because I love hot weather, and I love the beach, BUT all I want to wear are gourmands right now. Give me all the sweet and edible goodies! ❤
You are lucky to live near a pool and beach! Living the dream, girl! ⛱️ 🌞 But yes, the yummy fragrances call! 😄
Your makeup is looking so pretty
Thank youuuu, Tracey! 💖🥰🫶🙏
Great list of yummy fragrances
Have a fabulous weekend ❤
Thank you Frances! 💖
Hey Vee💕💕 I was actually caught off guard last week going into HomeGoods and seeing all the Halloween decor out😳😮 I’m thinking “wait, we still have plenty of July to get through” 😐…i need to savor these last couple of weeks because the Fall avalanche is coming!!
Hi Evelyn! 🥰 Well, I'm one of those freaks that just gets giddy when the Halloween stuff comes out so just ignore me and my enthusiasm over here 😂 There is plenty of summer to still enjoy!
I bought 4 T.K. samples, LEMON TART, it made me nauseous on first sniff. I have never had that happen before with any fragrance🤷.
Great video, love your outfit, lip color is a perfect match.
Thank you so much, Francine! 💖 I sampled Lemon Tart early this morning. My husband found it highly offensive 😂😂😂 I wasn't in love with it either.
Good morning darling ! Relaxing with some iced tea 🍹just need to add some liquor to it LOL
Hi Frances! LMBO! Pull out the spiced rum! 💖💖💖
I’m glad to hear you like Bake - I’ll have to try it now as everyone I trust loves it too.
I’m enjoying Bois Farine (L’Artisan Parfumeur) as my July gourmand as it’s very cool here right now and it smells of warm flour - edible but isn’t sweet.
Btw Candy floss = cotton candy in the UK where the Perfume Society is based I think 😊
Thanks for the candy floss note! That makes total sense. 😄 Bake is worth a sniff! And Bois Farine sounds like one I should sample. Warm flour sounds DIVINE! 🥰
@@VeronicaSays will seek out Bake and I think cotton candy is a much nicer name. The English version sounds like a dental oxymoron
@rebeccachicot5163 yes that "floss" part is a big odd! 😂
I love when I get to have my toast and coffee with you!! 🫶🏼 Passegiatta sounds so amazing! 🤩 I feel like those florals would keep it from being too gourmand for me! 🧡🧡🧡
Aw thank you! 🥰💖 I think you'd enjoy the subtleties of Passegiatta! It's just lovely and doesn't scream for attention.
🙌🏼 Summer is fleeting, so yes, I’m already thinking of fall. LOL Fun video! I’m glad you picked up Bake. My sample is gone, and I miss it!
Thank you! 🥰💖 Summer goes too quickly, that's for sure! 😩 Are you going to pick up Bake?
@@VeronicaSays I will at some point, though I just bought Lira, so I’m not rushing to buy it right now.
Yes babe, I'm here for this!😋
Hiiii Heidith! 💖 Thank you 🫶
Yessssssss!! Watching my girl 🥰🥰🥰 My favorite category
Hi my dear Marcy! Thanks for watching! 💖💖💖
👏🏼🙌🏼 Another great video Veronica! Definitely looking forward to wearing my deeper Autumn fragrances. 😃x
Hi Maria! 💖 Thank you! Same - I keep sniffing the different atomizers like a fiend. 😂
I'm not done with Summer! The summer here took way too long to get here and I'm barely getting into it. 😢 I don't even want to think of back to school and Fall.😂 It's definitely the best perfume season for some reason though 😅
Fall is the best perfume season for sure! We all love the warm comforting scents of fall. Enjoy the rest of your summer! I know it's just getting going in your area. 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Veronica!!!✋🏻✋🏻
I started my fragrance obsession with a sample pack from Killian. I purchased Angels Share during the Spring Sephora sale. But…BUT…I just got out the sample of Love Don’t Be Shy and sprayed it. It’s SO good!!! Killian prices have increased recently, so I’m happy to look into the dupe.
I’m here for all the gourmands. I love them! I love orange citrus, not wild about lemon😊
I have three Demeter fragrances…..Vanilla ice cream, Strawberry, and marshmallow. I use the Strawberry to amp up Yara, and the others to amp up….anything 😂
I also have the Sol edp…delicious!
I hope you’re enjoying your summer. We are BROILING here at 110+ degrees for over a week now!🥵
It’s always such a pleasure to see you!❤️💕😘
Thank you so much, Leah! 💖 Oof, 110 degrees?! 🔥 🥵 Yikes! Kilian prices can be obscene! But what lovely perfumes. Demeter has so many amazing ones to enjoy! Something for everyone! 🫶✊️💕
I love fire at will! Still need to get it
I love it, Charly! It's really good. 🥰
Hi Veronica!!! Love so many of these, Lira, LDBS, Fire at Will, OMG so delicious and yummy!! I also enjoy wearing Delizia to bed :-) I'm re-testing Bake today, 1st time didn't really wowed me lol We'll see ha! Have a great weekend!!
Hiii! 💖 Delizia to bed is an entire VIBE! Makes the whole room smell divine! Try Bake again! 👍
I love summer, but I can't wait for Fall fragrances!
Yessss!!! 💖💖💖
FALL GIRLIES UNITE 🙌🍂🍁
Yesssss! 🎃 🍂 🎃 🍂 💖💖💖
🤘🤘❤ Already bought a few for Fall and Winter during the FragranceBuy Canada Day sale.
But I'm still loving Summer! I was actually wondering about wearing Lira in the Summer. Love Don't Be Shy works nicely as well.
Wore the banana one from Comptoir Sud Pacific yesterday and loved it. La Nuit Trésor Musc Diamant is sweet vanilla and raspberry and feels a little bit gourmand in Summer.
Tried Mont Blanc Signature Absolue this week. It's too floral to be a gourmand but has a very nice vanilla in it. I would totally wear it to go out on a nice Summer night (or day).😍
Hi Cat! 💖 That sale had some GREAT offerings! What's the name of the CSP you wore (banana)? I've never tried Musc Diamant but it gets great reviews! 👍👍👍
@@VeronicaSays The CPS one is Vanille Banane. I think Marcy is the one who says it smells like banana laffy taffy. I kinda get banana cream pie vibes from it.
You look stunning, as always! Gourmands and summer are two of my favorite things! Have most of what you reviewed - just received my Akro. Of the Zara, Lira, and Bake - I love the opening of Lira the best and the drydown on Bake.. why does that always happen? Can't wait to hear your review of Love & Crime. I get a lot more orange and cocoa in L&C - it's like an orange poundcake with a cocoa powder finish vs. Lira's lemon poundcake caramel swirl. L&C has much better performance in all important ways.
Thank you, Teressa! 💖🥰 It would be great to snap our fingers and have the "best of this and that part" fragrance made! Love & Crime is definitely Lira on steroids. It was GOOD!
You are good. Thanks for dupes and unusual Indies.😘
Thank you Pattie! 🥰💖💕
I'm actually not looking forward to fall fragrances, but I think that's only because I am not looking forward to fall because my teenage son is already complaining so much about back to school! I love cool-weather fragrances the best, though. For now I think really want Akro Bake, but I probably need to try it, though I have come close to blind-buying it. I need to try Delizia di Marshmallow, too. I do love LDBS for summer, also- it's a strictly summer scent for me. Other gourmands I love right now (coconut notes) are Luna Dulcius, and I'm also loving the new Sol de Janiero, Rio Radiance.
Hi Christine! 💖 I hope you get to try Bake and Delizia di Marshmallow. Both are worth a sniff! I wore Luna Dulcius recently. So, so, sooooo good! Love it. 🥰🥰🥰
No no no.... please let me enjoy a little bit more my summer time! I need my vitamin D. 😅😘 June was cloudy and rainy. We only got some sun on July only in Canada.
Vitamin D is good for the soul (and your health)! Okay, okay. You can have one more month of summer. 😄😄😄 Just kidding! Enjoy it!
@@VeronicaSays Not just the July, usually it’s hot and sunny until October. In September we call it the « Indian summer ». 🌞🥹
👊🏻 I love citrus scents in the summertime but I’m looking forward to fall scents. Love your videos!
Thank you so much! 💖 Fall, here we come! 🫶

I'm tired of summer already and I'm so ready for Washington autumn. I have a pumpkin fragrance from siren's song elixirs macerating and I'm so excited. As for summer fragrances I've really been enjoying some fruity fragrances from good chemistry and Skylar. I also love cheirosa 71, I smell like a walking subway white chocolate macadamia cookie and I i cant get enough
Hi Bria! 💖 Oh my, Washington autumns are beautiful! Wow! A walking Subway cookie - drooling! 🫶🫶🫶
