I really appreciate videos like this one, in the overconsumption on youtube it is nice to see honest content on what did not work out or just general declutters 😊
I'm dying 😂 Loud Uncle Tommy and drunk Aunt Jessica! We've all been to that family gathering 😅 At least we can scrub off a fragrance that we can't tolerate 😂
Loved the video, Veronica! Your sleek hairstyle is stunning! My biggest flop this year was a blind buy-Crème Brûlée. I love the concept, but it’s way too sweet and feels like a literal gourmand, which I just can’t wear. It actually reminds me of a super sweet coconut biscuit I used to eat as a kid. Another disappointment for me was Jusbox Carioca Heart. Even though I tried a 2 ml sample before buying, I still can’t wear it without feeling nauseated - will keep trying!
Thank you soooo much! 💖 Yes, Creme Brulee is very gourmand indeed. Carioca Heart is more of a winter scent so I was super confused when I first tried it. Super strong!
Bravo my friend!!! Thanks so much for always sharing your true thoughts and feelings. Every video I see from you, you are true with your feedback!! Most of us do blind buys for niche fragrances, it’s just a fact, it’s so good to see these types of videos from experts! ❤❤❤
I have not tried any of these and after your review I don’t think I want to. Lol. “Old pancakes”, and “old ass syrup” just doesn’t sound inviting. Bahahahaha I laughed a little too hard at that one.
Such an interesting video, Veronica! I seemed to have the same experience with Blue Heart and Thameen in general. Got 2ml samples of BH and Patiala, absolutely adored them both, ordered the full bottles, then was like, "Wha? What happened?" The full-bottle wear was nowhere near as beautiful/pleasurable as the sampling experience! Maybe it's different batches, maybe our noses change, who knows? Am keeping both bottles, but very wary now, so videos like these are super-helpful. Thank you and have a beautifully fragrant and meaningful Christmas! 🎄❤
I hate when samples and testers smell amazing but then you get the full bottle and it smells so bad or off-putting that you wonder if they made a mistake and sent the wrong fragrance lol. I've had that happen several times over the years and I swear the testers and samples are better batches used to lure us to buy the full bottle. Yes, I am a conspiracy theorist lol.
Hey Veronica! I’m listening while working. I’m laughing at this loud person who doesn’t know when to shut up 😂 I’ve been afraid to try Blue Heart. I’ve almost blind brought it several times but changed my mind. 🎶 Da ha da ha da ha ha ha ha 🎶 😂
Hi Veronica! I made exactly the same experience with Blue Heart. I ADORED my sample, then bought a full bottle and didn't like it anymore. I really can't understand why 🤔
Hello Veronica💜I regretted blind buying Panaco Tahaa. I did not like it when I first smelled it, now I hate it so much I could not even think of gifting it to my friends. 😭
OMG, I had a sample of that and it smells so disgusting I couldn't believe it! Almost made me dry heave when I smelled it! Smells like rotten fruit and overly sweet espresso mixed together in a bowl. Just vile!
Hi Veronica!!!❤❤❤ This was hilarious!😂😂😂 I didn’t think there was a fragrance on earth that you couldn’t find SOMETHING about it to like!😂😂😂 Your husband’s reaction was priceless. The only fragrances I tried that were an immediate, resounding NO! Were Angel, Alien Goddess Intense, Initio Side Effect, and Mancera Red Tobacco! I couldn’t get them off my body fast enough! That was actually last year. This year I’ve been more discerning with my choices!😂😂 Chantecaille makeup and skincare were pretty ordinary, imo, for price they command. My granddaughter loved the Future Skin Foundation in a jar because I gave it to her. 😂Now, I would never even consider trying a fragrance. 😳😂 Looking forward to the rest of this series. ❤️🎄🌟❤️
Glad you got some chuckles, Leah! Definitely try Petales and Frangipani from Chantecaille if you have a chance. Those two are lovely! Thanks for sharing your fails. Side Effect and Red Tobacco in particular are NOT for everyone! I love Side Effect but have to be in the mood for it. 💖🥰
Thanks Veronica! Lots of laughs in that video! I haven't tried any of those and I have no desire to now. You look so pretty in the purple top & shadow!❤ There has only been 1 fragrance that repulsed me - Blondine.
Hi! I came across one of your videos yesterday and decided to subscribe. Initially I was into makeup in 2019, but when 2020 came along, not so much so then I got more into perfume, I had a small collection before that but now I’m always trying different ones. I’m a consumer of travel sizes mostly. I like fresh, fruity scents. I work in an office so I try not to wear too many loud ones, if I do weekends only. I buy decants online. I do frequent Sephora & Ulta from time to time. Lush & B&BW too. I have the pear Jam but haven’t worn it in awhile. I need to try it again because I didn’t care for it the first time I tried it.
Welcome to the channel! I know what you mean about makeup. I took a short hiatus but am now back to obsessing over it! 😂 Ulta and Sephora have testers out and they leave you alone to try whatever you want. I appreciate that! 💖💖💖
Hey girl, hey 👋!! Thanks for an awesome video on a great topic. I love that you're comfortable talking about this topic. Girl...that Pannaco Tahaa...RANCID. I thanked my lucky stars that I only purchased a decant. It gave me a massive headache. I think that saffron note in there might've been the problem but only God knows. It was awful!! I can't think of anything else at the moment but I'll come back and edit my comment if I think of any other stinkers that I've encountered in 2024. Thanks love! 💜
Hello my dear! Great video!😍😘 I agree with you in quite a few here, in my case I haven't purchased them because of similar reasons you're decluttering. Deep Dark Vanilla is not what I expected, DS&Durga is a great house but their fragrances are quite edgy and different than what we usually have in mind, so it's a hit or miss. I do have a couple from the house that I love, but I'm happy with the couple I have. Now, I LOVE Le Wild! To me it's the most photorealistic gardenia fragrance you can find since most of them smell like tuberose, not actual gardenia, not sure about the smoky accord never smelled that, how interesting. I can't stand Vanilla Leather by BDK either sorry 🙃. Thanks for this video, dear V! 😍😍
Oh I'm so glad you liked the video! 🥰 Deep Dark Vanilla was shockingly NOT what I expected, unfortunately! 😩 I was surprised to hear I smelled like an ashtray. Can you imagine? 😯 And I thought I was smelling amazing. 🤣🤣🤣 Oh no!
Hi Veronica! I HATE Blue Heart. Exactly the same experience: harsh, abrasive, and screechy. It falls in the same category as Bon Bon Pop for me. I can't get with them. I think for me the worst thing I smelled was Tuberose Astrale. Again, same harshness, and screechy.
@@VeronicaSays I see a pattern here, because I also don't like anything from Maison Crivelli. I bought Hibiscus Mahajad this year. I thought I liked it, but I am starting to think I got it because its reputation. It is sooo effing loud! Quentin Bisch is not my favorite perfumer at all... I am more a Dominique Ropion girl, or Fabrice Pellegrin, Julien Rasquinet.
Hi Veronica, firstly thanks for your content all year it is a joy to have a new vid pop up which I listen to while I work, always love listening to you. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas! My scent fail for the year #1 was Francesca Bianchi Sex and the Sea. It is just overwhelming of fresh dill. The dry down is OK but not enough to justify waiting through blaring dill, of the variety of that loud room talker you mentioned 😅. Perhaps I just need to let it macerate and I guess I can tolerate it till then since the bottle and juice is so pretty, I put it in a collection with my sea/aquatic/tropical scents and it at least looks nice there.
Awww thank you soooo much! Merry Christmas! 🎄🎄🎅🎅❄️❄️ I had a hard time enjoying Francesca Bianchi overall. Her scents can be quite overwhelming although I appreciate her artistry, for sure.
You are BRAVE but BEAUTIFUL. I appreciate hearing how our expectations can sometimes lead us in the wrong direction with fragrance. People can be so hard core when they love something and you don't agree. I think it's really interesting how our preceptions can change overtime.
Thank you sooo much! And yes, we can change our minds. It's just perfume at the end of the day. I'm glad viewers of this channel keep it light and fun. 💖💖💖
Hey Veronica! Yep I love Blue Heart 💙 It took me a while to understand it tho, not love at first sniff. I find it lush and full and round and delicious. Also love BDK Vanille Leather; just wore it the other day (even tho doctor wants me completely off perfume 😡. ) It got me interested in Violets 💟💟 this year. Old pancakes and cheap syrup 🤣🤣🤣 I was at IHOP over Thanksgiving with my in-laws and yes….that smell is for real and particular one! 🥞🥞 My most hated this year are Bianco Latte 🥴🤢 and Valaya. The latter is the epitome of screechy/unpleasant to me: musk, aldehydes and soapy 🧼 is not my thing.
Wait! Why do you have to not wear perfume???? 😩 The sinus issues? If so, I get it but DARN! Glad you're enjoying some of these. I figure people love them for a reason even if they don't work for me. And GIRL!!! IHOP as a perfume is not okay! 😂 Come on, Jousset! Whyyyyy?
@ you’re hysterical! 🤣 Yeah sinuses….its a bizarre twist of fate that I’m being asked to abstain from perfume right now. First world problems I guess…but still a bummer. I’m sneaking it in for nights out tho 🤫
@@patr70 sinus pain & constant headaches for like 4 months, and they can’t diagnose me either. I’ve had all the tests…X-rays, CTscan,MRI, you name it. Antibiotics. Blood tests. Now looking at allergies. Doubtful that’s it. For an avid fragrance lover and collector it’s no bueno. Thx for asking tho 😉
no same because blue heart is actually disgusting and i don’t understand why people love it, let alone why they even conceptualized the thought to make it 😂😂😂
I can alway count on you to put a smile on my face and a great honest review… love your content 💕💕💕💕 and I had the same problem with BDK vanille leather… it’s in my sell pile right now…. Just to powdery and the leather note turns a bit smoky ( not sure why it does that on me) so on dry down it smells like baby powder and cigarette smoke🤷🏼♀️
Love your reviews! For me this year my saddest purchase was Navitus Cabana Sunset. I loved the bottle but the juice was really disappointing. I’m going to need to incorporate the word bombastic into my vocabulary more! I love your use of it! 💕
Hi 👋 Veronica, 3 of my worst buys were A Patheon Roma , Bon Bon Pop and Pop Heart - I wanted to love it so badly...even bought a 9ml decant twice 😔...have a blessed day 💖
@VeronicaSays my nose picks up 1 scent...and I couldn't tell you which one because it over powers everything....this fragrance has all the notes that I love so I was shocked....same with Bon Bon Pop....??? Bummerq
Early morning Veronica for me. Bom dia I'm not gonna say they stink, but for my taste, I bought and returned 212NYC (too vintage) and MFK Fluidity Silver (too masculine). I cannot with GA Goddess Intense; it has a plastic-y note, and the EDP is just dull to me. Lastly, Devotion by D&G EDP and Intense smell like medicine, like cough syrup...can't do it 😅 Great video 😂🎉🎉
@VeronicaSays Giorgio Armani Goddess 🤭 I know you advocate for the Intense version, but I can't. It smells like something that would make my mouth dormant 🤣🤣
Hi Veronica! ❤Great video! I’m very picky about my perfumes. Blue Heart and Ivory Route were the worst for me this year. Yuck! Found some gems this year too though, on the other hand😊
You saying you were disenchanted with Our Maracuja had me dying😂! Both of Chantecaille's foundation and primer in the jar are good. Lovely sweater! Where is it from?
I want to try the foundation for sure! And thank you. The top is from Amazon. I have several colors - super comfy! Look up Anrabess oversized batwing turtleneck and you should find it. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I absolutely love this content because your concept of the perception of the olfactory journey of fragrances is so spot on and you are saving us from spending money on “Yucky” fragrances and for that my friend my wallet is extremely grateful 💖
At 0:57 I purchased Roja "Fetish"(which has been discontinued)from Jomashop but Greta Beth, who has a large Roja collection, said it's a very "hard wear" becuase it's supposed to resemble "Deviant" Sex. 😮 The revviews on Fragrantica are Stellar but she kept saying it "wouldn't be my thing" and I trust her fragrance input so I cancled the order. I hope you're having a nice Holiday Season 🌠🎄💞
Okay...there's two and the accords look very similar of Fragrantica: woody, green, mossy, earthy...and I think the "earthy" actually means "uncomposted manure". They are Choc de Cardin (I was hoping that the choc meant the patchouli would be a chocolate patchouli...not!) and Cabochard by Grès, and I thought I would like that one based on reviews. I retried them this week...they haven't changed. One other I need to retry is Mackie by Bob Mackie, but while I thought I would love it...not. i will try again.
I found myself buying into the Middle Eastern cheapy hype this year and in 2024 - Honour and Glory, Sondos and Brioche Vanille from Lattafa were the worst for me!! NO way! I did better this year at buying decants of more expensive perfumes first, and using 10ml first of all "full bottles" I ended up buying.
Im a bit suprised at your take on Oud Maracuja but I totally understand what you mean. Jousset has been a dissappointment for me as well this year, I have tried Creme Brulee and Accident Vanille and both fell so short.
I am new here and glad I listened to your reviews before I laid my hands on Jousset Parfums 😅😅😅 I got the rancid note from Nishane perfumes. I suspect it might be their fragrance oils. Have you tried any of his new releases?
Hello 🥰, I thought I could do no wrong with Guerlain, I blind bought Terracotta, with one light spritz; it smelled like I’d dropped 3 of the worst smelling perfumes on the floor and overpowered my poor nose, it really did not work on my skin, even anosmic hubby, kept saying “what is that smell”? As you’d stated; the notes appeared right down my alley but goodness , on my skin it was dreadful, couldn’t even scrub it off. I sprayed stronger amber, tobacco and musk oil over the area to smother it . Hooooo weeeee mama 😷😵💫 You look great, as always🥰 MWAAAA♥️❤️🩷🧡🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺
@ not working on me😭, it’s the same reaction I have with Tuberose, and it doesn’t show Tuberose anywhere , unsure what the note is that induces migraines. Waaaaahhhhhh 🙏🏻🥰
3000% agree with you about Pear Jam. I bought the travel size, for me the Raspberry went a little medicinal and the Pear was smelled dirty...also I don't know if it's the patchouli or akigalawood but it's giving a damp wood. For me this year I finally got my hands on the Perfumehead sample set (which gives you a voucher towards a full bottle.. that I did not use.) I thought that I would really like Room No. it was in my cart waiting for me. Sadly that nutmeg and milk note made me gag. It was giving that smell of spoiled milk before it goes sour. The rest of the line was just okay, nothing to write home about even though people rave about Cosmic Cowboy and Canadian Tuxedo, they aren't really new scent profiles, they are just regular scents with one odd note added.
Oh so you and I had a similar experience with Pear Jam. I know what you mean. I have NOT tried anything from Perfumehead. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 💖
When I sampled Blue Heart I told my husband it was chemical warfare, so it was a no. And yes, Vanille Leather should have been a me scent, but it wasn't. Fortunately I didn't buy either so it wasn't a total regret. But Almond Suede I sampled, loved, bought, and now regret because from the bottle the leather takes over the almond, at least on me.
ughhh my biggest misses this year were Liis Bo which smelled like straight pickles to me, and Memo Paris French Leather which smelled like pork skin that’s been cooked (not leather!!). Very glad both were samples and not full size but I know the majority LOVES Liis Bo
Hi Veronica ! 😊 I blind bought a full bottle of TARTE TATIN this month and I am not liking it 😢...it smells like kitchen spices or curry powder to me...not an Apple pie at all...I will try it again but I think I will declutter it...I had another bad experience last month with Jousset newest Crème Brûlée ... Merry Xmas dear 🎄❤
Hello my friend! Just got back from a day away! (Christmas shopping and mammograms, great combo) 😆🤣 With Blue Heart I've been up and down and all around.. at times I'm sure it's a love and others I really dislike it.. I can't figure it out! 🤷🏻♀️😅
Oh no, Blue Heart is a tough one! 😂 It's hazed me. 🥴 Christmas shopping and mammograms... 😯 I hope you got some Starbucks or something similar to soothe the day!
@@VeronicaSays I always ask for no whip as well! I often get a flat white when I'm in the mood for hot, and coffee frappuccino when I'm in the mood for cold! 🥰
I have Blue Heart but have not yet given it a wear so I sprayed on my hand when I heard this and will say it is not bad on me. I like it will have to give it some more love:)) The clean, fresh fragrance I LOVE is J-Scent Paper Soap if you want a long lasting fresh, aldehydic fragrance this is the one you should try!!!
I am sure it is disheartening decluttering fragrances for which you had high hopes...but you made a very entertaining video. So there's your silver lining 😊
Hi Veronica 😊 I always find it so interesting that two people can sniff a fragrance and can get such a totally different experience from each other. Nature is a strange and wonderful thing! Lucia by Tocca was my one and only blind buy this year and was a fail. The notes are ones I love but put together didn't work for me.
Please forgive me but first impression of Shunkoin: top notes-I think I’m really gonna like this….dry down: oh no! Really really strong baby powder 😢 I set it aside to try again later but I’m afraid to wear it. The baby powder was 💣💥🤯 Maybe it’ll be better next time 🤷🏻♀️
Hey girl hey!!! My worst full bottle/sample buys for 2024 were: -BB full bottle of Blue Heart /Thameen (it was so so bad it gave me a migraine and had to take a shower and scrub it off; I almost threw away the t-shirt I had sprayed it on😂 -sample of Peach’s Revenge/Sarah Baker (nauseatingly sweet that I couldn’t even try it on my skin) -sample of’Queen of Silk/Creed: that perfume is so offensively loud that I can’t bring myself to try it on skin!! And I honestly am considering throwing the sample away!! -sample of Leisure in Paradise/Simone Andreoli: I sprayed it on after a shower one evening and it turned so stinky (think dirty diapers/spoiled milk), I had to get out of bed and take another shower 😢😢
Hey girl, hey! Oh I love Leisure in Paradise! 😯 Sorry it didn't vibe with you. The others? I had similar experiences. Peaches Revenge was very uncomfortable in the opening. Queen of Silk took too long to get to a good place - the opening was abusive! 😩😂
This year, I tried a bunch of fruity musks... I dont think it's a profile for me.... Kirke/Stricnina/Dolce Melodia/Erba Pura... all I found a bit annoying. Dehab was the closest to a "like" but still not FBW for me.... oh well! 🤷🏽♀️
Happy Dust: not a full regret because it is beautiful and fairy-like but I can barely smell it 3 minutes after spraying it. :( Perhaps time will give evolution to the notes.
So, I haven't really smelled any bad fragrances this year but I had a super disappointing fragrance experience...Like to hear it, here it go! So, I was shopping online after getting a gift card for my birthday. I found a bunch of great fragrances and gift sets on Kohls website. I found a juicy couture set with 2 travel sprays and a full size fragrance (1.7 or 3.4, I'm not certain, I'd have to look) for $50. It was a great deal. The travel sprays were decent, one Viva La Juicy and the other Viva La Juicy Gold Couture (my favorite) and the full size was Gold Couture, as well... I order, it arrives and I decide I'll just use my travel sprays and when they're done ill bust into the full size. Well, after a couple weeks, I change my mind and bust into the full bottle. I go to spray it on and it's completely empty. I don't know if you have that fragrance but you can't see inside and the bottle is heavy. They sent me an empty bottle and when I got ahold of them to get it fixed they just gave every excuse why they wouldn't/shouldn't have to and accused me of using it all (in 2 weeks) and lying about it to get a free bottle of perfume. I was so bummed and I still get sad when I think back on that. I thought I had a great deal. I still haven't been able to replace that GD bottle. 😠
😂 your husband was really insulted by that perfume. Blue Heart was not for me either Veronica. Sharida loves it and that is the reason why I blind bought it. I got rid of it so fast.
Hi Veronica, it’s been a while since I noticed an audio issue in your videos. Your voice doesn’t seem to be stereo, however, the music at the end of your videos are fine and stereo. I double-checked with other channels to ensure the problem wasn’t on my end, and it wasn’t. Could you please look into this? I love your reviews-thank you!
Most Chantacaille makeup is overpriced but there are a handful of exceptional products that are worth the splurge. 2 videos you should watch are 1. Michelle Wang "Best CHANTACAILLE Products" dated 7/25/2020. And, 2. Mandy Davis MUA ,"Chantecaille Sylvie Sale Early Access" dated 7/23/2024. These 2 videos will tell you everything you need to know.
I also didn’t buy a full bottle but I did buy discovery set and Celeste was a scrubber. Others that I did buy FB’s of and now will leave my collection because they just are not for me (beautiful scents but not something that is me), Xerjoff Overture, Carner Barcelona Tardes, Jennifer Lopez Still, Dior Addict, BDK Creme de Cuir. Now I just need to post them.
Also, I am so happy I only bought decants of babycat, RM no.5 , MM Lost Alice, Jovoy remember Me , I am sure there are others. But those are the ones I remember at the moment.
@ yes , lots of great scents . It’s so hard to let go of beautiful scents that I enjoyed smelling from the bottle but not on me. But can only keep what brings me joy when I wear it. Happy Holidays!
I have gotten rid of a perfume before, when my son told me I smelled like countertop spray.. but it was one I didn't really love either, so I was fine with it 😂 Old-ass pancakes!! 🥞🤣🤣 Woody molasses?? No thank you!! 😂 Love this type of video! ❤
I don't think I tried any true stinkers recently, but I got a big decant of Vanilla Powder, and it's just not for me. I'm liking it a little bit more as time goes on, but it doesn't feel like me. I think I might have a similar experience to you with Vanille Leather, so I haven't even gotten a sample of it.
Hi Veronica, I do agree with u 99% of the times, but I respecfully disagree when it comes to La Tarte Tatin, for me and for all my friends this smells amazing, merry christmas! 🙂
Old ass pancakes 🤣🤣That was priceless! Guidance was my big stinker this year. Definitely NOT for me. I even sampled Guidance 46 since everyone said it was better but still a nope for me. And while I really liked the scent of Rouge Smoking, on me it straight up smelled like root beer. And speaking of loud fragrances, I just sprayed a sample of Kajal Lamar and got a pineapple punch to the face! 🍍Hopefully it calms down because it is pretty but wow is that potent! I really enjoyed your video. Fabulous as always! ❤
Thank you soooo much! 💖🥰 I'm getting Guidance 46 - I thought it was lovely. HOWEVER! Soooo many do not get on with either Guidance. I totally understand! Lamar is a loud one. I prefer Dahab - the passionfruit musky cousin to Lamar. I found Lamar a bit masculine for my taste. Thanks for sharing! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
@ it’s like a bad boyfriend “ It’s me not you” The more I learn about perfume , I think we all smell things differently and it reacts with each of our bodies chemistry differently. Love your videos
We have very different taste but I love your filming style so I watch!! I gotta admit, I sampled Blanc Kogane after you mentioned it and it stank to me LOL I’d have to say Tilia was the worst for me in 2024 😅
Thank you! I consider all perfume channels just entertainment, including my own. Glad you enjoy the content! 🥰🥰🥰 And sorry you also disliked Blanc Kogane! Darn!
Tiziana Terenzi Tyrenum was gasoline dried down to kerosene. Unfortunately it lasts and lasts and lasts. I was afraid to light my candles for a week 😂. Thanks for the video ❤
I had two terrible fragrances experiences this year. The first was Burberry Her. I received a sample with a Sephora order and immediately gave it to my teenage daughter as I knew it wouldn’t be for me. The day she came out wearing it I almost threw up. It gave me an instant headache and the synthetic strawberry made me incredibly nauseous. She was really bummed with my reaction because she really liked it. The second was with Goddess Intense. I thought the original was ok but a little bit boring. I was excited to try intense because I love patchouli. I sprayed it on my wrist while at Ulta and had the same reaction as with Burberry Her. Instant headache and nausea.
I really appreciate videos like this one, in the overconsumption on youtube it is nice to see honest content on what did not work out or just general declutters 😊
So true 😅😅😅
@karolinak566 I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you so much! 💖

Loved the video, Veronica! Your sleek hairstyle is stunning! My biggest flop this year was a blind buy-Crème Brûlée. I love the concept, but it’s way too sweet and feels like a literal gourmand, which I just can’t wear. It actually reminds me of a super sweet coconut biscuit I used to eat as a kid. Another disappointment for me was Jusbox Carioca Heart. Even though I tried a 2 ml sample before buying, I still can’t wear it without feeling nauseated - will keep trying!
Thank you soooo much! 💖 Yes, Creme Brulee is very gourmand indeed. Carioca Heart is more of a winter scent so I was super confused when I first tried it. Super strong!

I love these kinds of videos even more than the favorites videos! I don’t know why!
Oh and as far as recoiling, YSL Libre and the flankers. I couldn’t wash it off fast enough!

Such an interesting video, Veronica! I seemed to have the same experience with Blue Heart and Thameen in general. Got 2ml samples of BH and Patiala, absolutely adored them both, ordered the full bottles, then was like, "Wha? What happened?" The full-bottle wear was nowhere near as beautiful/pleasurable as the sampling experience! Maybe it's different batches, maybe our noses change, who knows? Am keeping both bottles, but very wary now, so videos like these are super-helpful. Thank you and have a beautifully fragrant and meaningful Christmas! 🎄❤

Hello Veronica💜I regretted blind buying Panaco Tahaa. I did not like it when I first smelled it, now I hate it so much I could not even think of gifting it to my friends. 😭
I’m so sorry to hear that! 😭😭😭 No one enjoys being stuck with a stinky bottle 🥴
OMG, I had a sample of that and it smells so disgusting I couldn't believe it! Almost made me dry heave when I smelled it! Smells like rotten fruit and overly sweet espresso mixed together in a bowl. Just vile!
Hi Veronica!!!❤❤❤
This was hilarious!😂😂😂
I didn’t think there was a fragrance on earth that you couldn’t find SOMETHING about it to like!😂😂😂
Your husband’s reaction was priceless. The only fragrances I tried that were an immediate, resounding NO! Were Angel, Alien Goddess Intense, Initio Side Effect, and Mancera Red Tobacco! I couldn’t get them off my body fast enough! That was actually last year. This year I’ve been more discerning with my choices!😂😂
Chantecaille makeup and skincare were pretty ordinary, imo, for price they command. My granddaughter loved the Future Skin Foundation in a jar because I gave it to her. 😂Now, I would never even consider trying a fragrance. 😳😂
Looking forward to the rest of this series. ❤️🎄🌟❤️
Glad you got some chuckles, Leah! Definitely try Petales and Frangipani from Chantecaille if you have a chance. Those two are lovely! Thanks for sharing your fails. Side Effect and Red Tobacco in particular are NOT for everyone! I love Side Effect but have to be in the mood for it. 💖🥰

I'm glad you liked the video! 💖💖💖 Thank you so much! Blondine - 😯😯😯
Hi! I came across one of your videos yesterday and decided to subscribe. Initially I was into makeup in 2019, but when 2020 came along, not so much so then I got more into perfume, I had a small collection before that but now I’m always trying different ones. I’m a consumer of travel sizes mostly. I like fresh, fruity scents. I work in an office so I try not to wear too many loud ones, if I do weekends only. I buy decants online. I do frequent Sephora & Ulta from time to time. Lush & B&BW too. I have the pear Jam but haven’t worn it in awhile. I need to try it again because I didn’t care for it the first time I tried it.
Welcome to the channel! I know what you mean about makeup. I took a short hiatus but am now back to obsessing over it! 😂 Ulta and Sephora have testers out and they leave you alone to try whatever you want. I appreciate that! 💖💖💖
Hey girl, hey 👋!! Thanks for an awesome video on a great topic. I love that you're comfortable talking about this topic. Girl...that Pannaco Tahaa...RANCID. I thanked my lucky stars that I only purchased a decant. It gave me a massive headache. I think that saffron note in there might've been the problem but only God knows. It was awful!! I can't think of anything else at the moment but I'll come back and edit my comment if I think of any other stinkers that I've encountered in 2024. Thanks love! 💜
Hey girl hey! OMG, Pannaco Tahaa was not kind to me!! 😩 Glad you enjoyed the video! 💖💖💖
Heyyyy Beautiful ❤❤❤❤
Blanc Kogane..... Super NO.
Blue Heart..... Another No.....
The others (thankfully) I have not tried.
Hiii Paulette! Yeah... I hear you! 😩😩😩
I'm grateful for this video. Love your sweater too! That color on you is crazy.
Awww thank you sooo much! 💖💖💖
Loved this. Such a difference to hear descriptions of hated fragrances. You did a great job.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
Hello my dear! Great video!😍😘 I agree with you in quite a few here, in my case I haven't purchased them because of similar reasons you're decluttering. Deep Dark Vanilla is not what I expected, DS&Durga is a great house but their fragrances are quite edgy and different than what we usually have in mind, so it's a hit or miss. I do have a couple from the house that I love, but I'm happy with the couple I have. Now, I LOVE Le Wild! To me it's the most photorealistic gardenia fragrance you can find since most of them smell like tuberose, not actual gardenia, not sure about the smoky accord never smelled that, how interesting. I can't stand Vanilla Leather by BDK either sorry 🙃. Thanks for this video, dear V! 😍😍
Oh I'm so glad you liked the video! 🥰 Deep Dark Vanilla was shockingly NOT what I expected, unfortunately! 😩 I was surprised to hear I smelled like an ashtray. Can you imagine? 😯 And I thought I was smelling amazing. 🤣🤣🤣 Oh no!
Hey Veronica💕💐🎀 I enjoyed this video! Thanks for your realness and transparency!! 🫶🏾❤️
Thank you soooo much! 💖🥰
Hi Veronica! I HATE Blue Heart. Exactly the same experience: harsh, abrasive, and screechy. It falls in the same category as Bon Bon Pop for me. I can't get with them. I think for me the worst thing I smelled was Tuberose Astrale. Again, same harshness, and screechy.
Thanks for sharing! I was truly hoping Blue Heart would be like the sample. 😩 I need to wear Bon Bon Pop soon to see if I get on with it.
@@VeronicaSays I see a pattern here, because I also don't like anything from Maison Crivelli. I bought Hibiscus Mahajad this year. I thought I liked it, but I am starting to think I got it because its reputation. It is sooo effing loud! Quentin Bisch is not my favorite perfumer at all... I am more a Dominique Ropion girl, or Fabrice Pellegrin, Julien Rasquinet.
You look great. Your comments are fire. These scents may not agree with you or feel right but they do make excellent story time. Thank you ❤
Thank you so much! Perfume entertainment. 💖💖💖
Bonjour Verónica, attractive with the elegant pony
Thank you so much! 💖💖💖
Hi Veronica, firstly thanks for your content all year it is a joy to have a new vid pop up which I listen to while I work, always love listening to you. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas! My scent fail for the year #1 was Francesca Bianchi Sex and the Sea. It is just overwhelming of fresh dill. The dry down is OK but not enough to justify waiting through blaring dill, of the variety of that loud room talker you mentioned 😅. Perhaps I just need to let it macerate and I guess I can tolerate it till then since the bottle and juice is so pretty, I put it in a collection with my sea/aquatic/tropical scents and it at least looks nice there.
Awww thank you soooo much! Merry Christmas! 🎄🎄🎅🎅❄️❄️ I had a hard time enjoying Francesca Bianchi overall. Her scents can be quite overwhelming although I appreciate her artistry, for sure.
You are BRAVE but BEAUTIFUL. I appreciate hearing how our expectations can sometimes lead us in the wrong direction with fragrance. People can be so hard core when they love something and you don't agree. I think it's really interesting how our preceptions can change overtime.
Thank you sooo much! And yes, we can change our minds. It's just perfume at the end of the day. I'm glad viewers of this channel keep it light and fun. 💖💖💖
Hey Veronica! Yep I love Blue Heart 💙 It took me a while to understand it tho, not love at first sniff. I find it lush and full and round and delicious. Also love BDK Vanille Leather; just wore it the other day (even tho doctor wants me completely off perfume 😡. ) It got me interested in Violets 💟💟 this year.
Old pancakes and cheap syrup 🤣🤣🤣 I was at IHOP over Thanksgiving with my in-laws and yes….that smell is for real and particular one! 🥞🥞 My most hated this year are Bianco Latte 🥴🤢 and Valaya. The latter is the epitome of screechy/unpleasant to me: musk, aldehydes and soapy 🧼 is not my thing.
Your Doctor wants you off fragrance? Really? Did the doctor say why?
Wait! Why do you have to not wear perfume???? 😩 The sinus issues? If so, I get it but DARN! Glad you're enjoying some of these. I figure people love them for a reason even if they don't work for me. And GIRL!!! IHOP as a perfume is not okay! 😂 Come on, Jousset! Whyyyyy?
@ you’re hysterical! 🤣 Yeah sinuses….its a bizarre twist of fate that I’m being asked to abstain from perfume right now. First world problems I guess…but still a bummer. I’m sneaking it in for nights out tho 🤫
@@patr70 sinus pain & constant headaches for like 4 months, and they can’t diagnose me either. I’ve had all the tests…X-rays, CTscan,MRI, you name it. Antibiotics. Blood tests. Now looking at allergies. Doubtful that’s it. For an avid fragrance lover and collector it’s no bueno. Thx for asking tho 😉
@@jillshorten3457 It probably is the perfume! Best of Luck! Happy Holidays 🎄🌠✨️
This was fun.
Thank you! 💖💖💖
I didn’t like Blue Heart either couldn’t understand all the hype around it!!
You and me both! What happened? Yikes! 😂
@ it was synthetic & screechy on my skin!
@@mirasscentbubble yes, same weird experience with me! 😩
no same because blue heart is actually disgusting and i don’t understand why people love it, let alone why they even conceptualized the thought to make it 😂😂😂
I get it, Alexis! It's a very bizarre one. I was confused. 😬
I can alway count on you to put a smile on my face and a great honest review… love your content 💕💕💕💕 and I had the same problem with BDK vanille leather… it’s in my sell pile right now…. Just to powdery and the leather note turns a bit smoky ( not sure why it does that on me) so on dry down it smells like baby powder and cigarette smoke🤷🏼♀️
Thank youuuuu! 💖💖💖 Glad I'm not alone on Vanille Leather.
Love your reviews! For me this year my saddest purchase was Navitus Cabana Sunset. I loved the bottle but the juice was really disappointing.
I’m going to need to incorporate the word bombastic into my vocabulary more! I love your use of it! 💕
Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! 💖 I didn't try Cabana Sunset but I remember hearing lackluster reviews, unfortunately.
Hi 👋 Veronica, 3 of my worst buys were A Patheon Roma , Bon Bon Pop and Pop Heart - I wanted to love it so badly...even bought a 9ml decant twice 😔...have a blessed day 💖
Awwww darn! I love Pop Heart! What bothered you about it? A by Pantheon Roma was a big no for me too. Weird scent! 😬😬😬
@VeronicaSays my nose picks up 1 scent...and I couldn't tell you which one because it over powers everything....this fragrance has all the notes that I love so I was shocked....same with Bon Bon Pop....??? Bummerq
the same thing HAPPENED TO ME WITH BLUE HEART!!!! i am selling it now cause its a NO..... I need to get rid of it. lol
Yeah... it's a big no. Sadly. 😬😬😬
@@VeronicaSays its sooo crazy cause in store it smelled so much better...I really don't know what happened
Exactly! It catfished us 😂😂😂
Old A$$ pancakes 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Early morning Veronica for me. Bom dia
I'm not gonna say they stink, but for my taste, I bought and returned 212NYC (too vintage) and MFK Fluidity Silver (too masculine).
I cannot with GA Goddess Intense; it has a plastic-y note, and the EDP is just dull to me.
Lastly, Devotion by D&G EDP and Intense smell like medicine, like cough syrup...can't do it 😅
Great video 😂🎉🎉
Bom dia! Thank you so much! 💖💖💖 I hear you on the MFK. Lovely, but not for me. What is GA? Or are you referring to Burberry?
@VeronicaSays Giorgio Armani Goddess 🤭 I know you advocate for the Intense version, but I can't. It smells like something that would make my mouth dormant 🤣🤣
Hi Veronica! ❤Great video! I’m very picky about my perfumes. Blue Heart and Ivory Route were the worst for me this year. Yuck! Found some gems this year too though, on the other hand😊
Thank you so much! 🥰💖 I wasn't big on Ivory Route either.
You saying you were disenchanted with Our Maracuja had me dying😂! Both of Chantecaille's foundation and primer in the jar are good. Lovely sweater! Where is it from?
I want to try the foundation for sure! And thank you. The top is from Amazon. I have several colors - super comfy! Look up Anrabess oversized batwing turtleneck and you should find it. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I absolutely love this content because your concept of the perception of the olfactory journey of fragrances is so spot on and you are saving us from spending money on “Yucky” fragrances and for that my friend my wallet is extremely grateful 💖
I appreciate that! Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰
At 0:57 I purchased Roja "Fetish"(which has been discontinued)from Jomashop but Greta Beth, who has a large Roja collection, said it's a very "hard wear" becuase it's supposed to resemble "Deviant" Sex. 😮 The revviews on Fragrantica are Stellar but she kept saying it "wouldn't be my thing" and I trust her fragrance input so I cancled the order. I hope you're having a nice Holiday Season 🌠🎄💞
I had Thameen "Blue Heart" but it's now on Mercari.. Saffron just dosen't go with Coconut 🤢
Happy Holidays! The name of the Roja fragrance alone is soooo daring! 😯 Hope someone enjoys your Blue Heart bottle. I was happy it went to a new home.
Okay...there's two and the accords look very similar of Fragrantica: woody, green, mossy, earthy...and I think the "earthy" actually means "uncomposted manure". They are Choc de Cardin (I was hoping that the choc meant the patchouli would be a chocolate patchouli...not!) and Cabochard by Grès, and I thought I would like that one based on reviews.
I retried them this week...they haven't changed.
One other I need to retry is Mackie by Bob Mackie, but while I thought I would love it...not. i will try again.
Uncomposted manure! 💀😂 Oh no! I have a vintage Cabochard. It's a challenging fragrance but i enjoy it on rare occasion.
I found myself buying into the Middle Eastern cheapy hype this year and in 2024 - Honour and Glory, Sondos and Brioche Vanille from Lattafa were the worst for me!! NO way!
I did better this year at buying decants of more expensive perfumes first, and using 10ml first of all "full bottles" I ended up buying.
It's especially hard with the Middle Eastern affordable ones because they are not easy to sample, so you're stuck with blind buying.
Hi Veronica ❤️🍵 You look stunning, love the vibe ❤
Thank you so much!! 🥰🥰🥰
Yes!!!🙌 thank you for being one who will say what others won’t!❤👏👏👏
Hi Corina! Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰 In fairness, I believe others are having a different scent experience with some of these.
I had a similar Blue Heart experience but BDK Vanille Leather I ADORE 💜💜💜💜hardly a leather though
What is it with Blue Heart? So many in the comments had a bad experience with it. 😬
I very much enjoyed your description of old pancakes.
Thank you 😂😂😂
Im a bit suprised at your take on Oud Maracuja but I totally understand what you mean. Jousset has been a dissappointment for me as well this year, I have tried Creme Brulee and Accident Vanille and both fell so short.
Do you like any other Jousset perfumes?
I remember your son telling you that. I would have gotten rid of it too 😂
I had to. I was shocked when he said it. 😬
I am new here and glad I listened to your reviews before I laid my hands on Jousset Parfums 😅😅😅 I got the rancid note from Nishane perfumes. I suspect it might be their fragrance oils. Have you tried any of his new releases?
Hi! Welcome! 💖💖💖 I have not tried any recently release Nishane. I enjoy a bunch of their line (but not all!).
Hello 🥰, I thought I could do no wrong with Guerlain, I blind bought Terracotta, with one light spritz; it smelled like I’d dropped 3 of the worst smelling perfumes on the floor and overpowered my poor nose, it really did not work on my skin, even anosmic hubby, kept saying “what is that smell”?
As you’d stated; the notes appeared right down my alley but goodness , on my skin it was dreadful, couldn’t even scrub it off.
I sprayed stronger amber, tobacco and musk oil over the area to smother it . Hooooo weeeee mama 😷😵💫
You look great, as always🥰
MWAAAA♥️❤️🩷🧡🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺
Oh noooooo, Stani! I lovvvve Terracotta! 😩😩😩 What happened? I'm sorry you hated it. That sucks. 🥴 Thank you for the compliment! 😘😘😘
@ not working on me😭, it’s the same reaction I have with Tuberose, and it doesn’t show Tuberose anywhere , unsure what the note is that induces migraines. Waaaaahhhhhh
🙏🏻🥰
@deannstanglenny9431 😩😩😩
3000% agree with you about Pear Jam. I bought the travel size, for me the Raspberry went a little medicinal and the Pear was smelled dirty...also I don't know if it's the patchouli or akigalawood but it's giving a damp wood. For me this year I finally got my hands on the Perfumehead sample set (which gives you a voucher towards a full bottle.. that I did not use.) I thought that I would really like Room No. it was in my cart waiting for me. Sadly that nutmeg and milk note made me gag. It was giving that smell of spoiled milk before it goes sour. The rest of the line was just okay, nothing to write home about even though people rave about Cosmic Cowboy and Canadian Tuxedo, they aren't really new scent profiles, they are just regular scents with one odd note added.
Oh so you and I had a similar experience with Pear Jam. I know what you mean. I have NOT tried anything from Perfumehead. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 💖
Hi Veronica, I love your chic ponytail ❤ My worst buy this year, Overture by Xerjoff.
Thank you so much! 💖💖💖 I know some people find Overture a bit strong. 😩
Omg I remember your reaction to Pear Jam!! 😅😂 It's a weird one, I do have a sample and I was confused by it.. 🧐🤓
I know, right?! I just couldn't get over it! 😂 I was like, why did Nette do me like this?! 🤣
When I sampled Blue Heart I told my husband it was chemical warfare, so it was a no. And yes, Vanille Leather should have been a me scent, but it wasn't. Fortunately I didn't buy either so it wasn't a total regret. But Almond Suede I sampled, loved, bought, and now regret because from the bottle the leather takes over the almond, at least on me.
I feel you on the chemical warfare! 😬 I haven't tried Almond Suede. Thanks for sharing your experience! 💖🥰
Blue Heart for me is sometimes ok, sometimes mothballs which is what nagarmotha is used in
Thanks for sharing your experience! 💖
ughhh my biggest misses this year were Liis Bo which smelled like straight pickles to me, and Memo Paris French Leather which smelled like pork skin that’s been cooked (not leather!!). Very glad both were samples and not full size but I know the majority LOVES Liis Bo
Oh my gosh! Not cooked pork skins?! 💀💀😬😬😂😂
Thank you for sharing your fails! My worst from this year were Dolce & Gabana Devotion and Kayali Vanilla Royale Sugared Patchouli
I adore BOTH haha
Thanks for watching! I was not a big fan of the Kayali at first but it's growing on me!
I agree with pananco taha .. I tried to salvage it with Narcatica Narco oasis but nope … immediately decluttered … yuck !!!
Oh no! At least you tried to salvage it! 😬
Hi Veronica ! 😊 I blind bought a full bottle of TARTE TATIN this month and I am not liking it 😢...it smells like kitchen spices or curry powder to me...not an Apple pie at all...I will try it again but I think I will declutter it...I had another bad experience last month with Jousset newest Crème Brûlée ... Merry Xmas dear 🎄❤
Merry Christmas 🎄 🎅! Thank you for sharing. Some of the Jousset gourmands are just so hit or miss. 🥴
@ 😊❤️
Hello my friend! Just got back from a day away! (Christmas shopping and mammograms, great combo) 😆🤣
With Blue Heart I've been up and down and all around.. at times I'm sure it's a love and others I really dislike it.. I can't figure it out! 🤷🏻♀️😅
Oh no, Blue Heart is a tough one! 😂 It's hazed me. 🥴 Christmas shopping and mammograms... 😯 I hope you got some Starbucks or something similar to soothe the day!
@ I definitely got my Starbucks, it’s always our first stop when we hit the city!! 🙌🏻🥤
Yessss! What's your drink of choice? I like the seasonal lattes. No whipped cream!
@@VeronicaSays I always ask for no whip as well! I often get a flat white when I'm in the mood for hot, and coffee frappuccino when I'm in the mood for cold! 🥰
I have Blue Heart but have not yet given it a wear so I sprayed on my hand when I heard this and will say it is not bad on me. I like it will have to give it some more love:)) The clean, fresh fragrance I LOVE is J-Scent Paper Soap if you want a long lasting fresh, aldehydic fragrance this is the one you should try!!!
I'll have to check that one out. Thanks for the recommendation! 💖🥰 Glad you're enjoying Blue Heart. 🩵
Not just old syrup but OLD A$$ syrup! 😂😂😂😂
@@CarmenBarnes-i4t 😂😂😂😂
I am sure it is disheartening decluttering fragrances for which you had high hopes...but you made a very entertaining video. So there's your silver lining 😊
I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Veronica 😊 I always find it so interesting that two people can sniff a fragrance and can get such a totally different experience from each other. Nature is a strange and wonderful thing!
Lucia by Tocca was my one and only blind buy this year and was a fail. The notes are ones I love but put together didn't work for me.
Hi Fiona! 🥰 Yes, we all have such different experiences, don't we? Nature is bizarre and beautiful! Too bad Lucia didn't work out! Darn. 😩
Aunt Jessica 😂 The way you described Pear Jam, I immediately thought of a certain family member of mine 🤣
Oh no! I'm sorry! 😂
I have tried this year Amuage Blossom Love , and on my skin it was a scrubber 😮! Love the bottle though and on a blotter it’s was lovely!
Oh no! I enjoy that one. It's super strong though! Thanks for sharing! 🥰
GIRL I could not even put tuberose astral on my skin. I sprayed it on a tester and got physically ILL!
Oh no!! 😂😂😂
Please forgive me but first impression of Shunkoin: top notes-I think I’m really gonna like this….dry down: oh no! Really really strong baby powder 😢 I set it aside to try again later but I’m afraid to wear it. The baby powder was 💣💥🤯 Maybe it’ll be better next time 🤷🏻♀️
😯😯😯 Oh how I adore Shunkoin! I don't get baby powder but I'm sorry you do! 😩
@ I know you do that’s why I felt so bad 😞

I’m just glad I was around til the end for the old ass pancakes LMAO 😂Not that I ever leave early. This was fun❤
Awww thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
Hey girl hey!!!
My worst full bottle/sample buys for 2024 were:
-BB full bottle of Blue Heart /Thameen (it was so so bad it gave me a migraine and had to take a shower and scrub it off; I almost threw away the t-shirt I had sprayed it on😂
-sample of Peach’s Revenge/Sarah Baker (nauseatingly sweet that I couldn’t even try it on my skin)
-sample of’Queen of Silk/Creed: that perfume is so offensively loud that I can’t bring myself to try it on skin!! And I honestly am considering throwing the sample away!!
-sample of Leisure in Paradise/Simone Andreoli: I sprayed it on after a shower one evening and it turned so stinky (think dirty diapers/spoiled milk), I had to get out of bed and take another shower 😢😢
Hey girl, hey! Oh I love Leisure in Paradise! 😯 Sorry it didn't vibe with you. The others? I had similar experiences. Peaches Revenge was very uncomfortable in the opening. Queen of Silk took too long to get to a good place - the opening was abusive! 😩😂
This year, I tried a bunch of fruity musks... I dont think it's a profile for me.... Kirke/Stricnina/Dolce Melodia/Erba Pura... all I found a bit annoying. Dehab was the closest to a "like" but still not FBW for me.... oh well! 🤷🏽♀️
Yeah, I can see how they wouldn't work for everyone! I adore Dolce Melodia, though! So good to me! 🥰
Happy Dust: not a full regret because it is beautiful and fairy-like but I can barely smell it 3 minutes after spraying it. :( Perhaps time will give evolution to the notes.
I have the DUA dupe and love it.
I've heard that from a few people. I had the same experience. I wish it was a tad more projecting and longer lasting. It's lovely!
So, I haven't really smelled any bad fragrances this year but I had a super disappointing fragrance experience...Like to hear it, here it go!
So, I was shopping online after getting a gift card for my birthday. I found a bunch of great fragrances and gift sets on Kohls website. I found a juicy couture set with 2 travel sprays and a full size fragrance (1.7 or 3.4, I'm not certain, I'd have to look) for $50. It was a great deal. The travel sprays were decent, one Viva La Juicy and the other Viva La Juicy Gold Couture (my favorite) and the full size was Gold Couture, as well...
I order, it arrives and I decide I'll just use my travel sprays and when they're done ill bust into the full size. Well, after a couple weeks, I change my mind and bust into the full bottle. I go to spray it on and it's completely empty.
I don't know if you have that fragrance but you can't see inside and the bottle is heavy.
They sent me an empty bottle and when I got ahold of them to get it fixed they just gave every excuse why they wouldn't/shouldn't have to and accused me of using it all (in 2 weeks) and lying about it to get a free bottle of perfume.
I was so bummed and I still get sad when I think back on that.
I thought I had a great deal. I still haven't been able to replace that GD bottle. 😠
Oh noooo! How awful! I'm so sorry that happened to you. That's horrible! 😩😩😩
😂 your husband was really insulted by that perfume.
Blue Heart was not for me either Veronica. Sharida loves it and that is the reason why I blind bought it.
I got rid of it so fast.
Hey Tati! Yeah... he was literally angry about that scent. 😂 Blue Heart 🩵... NOPE! UGH!
Hi Veronica, it’s been a while since I noticed an audio issue in your videos. Your voice doesn’t seem to be stereo, however, the music at the end of your videos are fine and stereo. I double-checked with other channels to ensure the problem wasn’t on my end, and it wasn’t. Could you please look into this? I love your reviews-thank you!
Thank you, someone else noticed this too. I've tried to problem solve and cannot figure out the issue. Sorry about that! 😔
@@VeronicaSays It's not a big deal, don't worry about it, thanks Veronica.
Most Chantacaille makeup is overpriced but there are a handful of exceptional products that are worth the splurge.
2 videos you should watch are 1. Michelle Wang "Best CHANTACAILLE Products" dated 7/25/2020.
And, 2. Mandy Davis MUA ,"Chantecaille Sylvie Sale Early Access" dated 7/23/2024.
These 2 videos will tell you everything you need to know.
Thanks for sharing those videos! 🥰🥰🥰
I also didn’t buy a full bottle but I did buy discovery set and Celeste was a scrubber. Others that I did buy FB’s of and now will leave my collection because they just are not for me (beautiful scents but not something that is me), Xerjoff Overture, Carner Barcelona Tardes, Jennifer Lopez Still, Dior Addict, BDK Creme de Cuir. Now I just need to post them.
Also, I am so happy I only bought decants of babycat, RM no.5 , MM Lost Alice, Jovoy remember Me , I am sure there are others. But those are the ones I remember at the moment.
Oh I love some of these! Thanks for sharing though. Sounds like you are figuring out what works for you. Celeste was very odd to me. 🥴
@ yes , lots of great scents . It’s so hard to let go of beautiful scents that I enjoyed smelling from the bottle but not on me. But can only keep what brings me joy when I wear it. Happy Holidays!
@ by the way I just got a sample of Amouage Lineage and I love it so far. Just sprayed it on My wrist and can’t stop smelling it.
@nancy1316 woohoo!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Omg I feel the same about hibiscus mahajad....I kept saying it was yelling at me 😂
I couldn't agree more! 😂 It was very rude to me.
I recently bought vanilla leather it's a soft fragrance not bad for me, I don't know any of the other ones
I'm glad you're enjoying Vanille Leather. It is definitely soft. 💖
Rose Omeyyade Atelier des Ors, Electimuss spice d'arno, Jardins de misfah, Celeste
Celeste 🤮
Oh no! Thanks for sharing! 🥰💖
I have gotten rid of a perfume before, when my son told me I smelled like countertop spray.. but it was one I didn't really love either, so I was fine with it 😂
Old-ass pancakes!! 🥞🤣🤣 Woody molasses?? No thank you!! 😂
Love this type of video! ❤
That countertop spray story is hilarious! 😂 When a loved one tells us they dislike something we wear, we LISTEN! 🥴 Glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
I don't think I tried any true stinkers recently, but I got a big decant of Vanilla Powder, and it's just not for me. I'm liking it a little bit more as time goes on, but it doesn't feel like me. I think I might have a similar experience to you with Vanille Leather, so I haven't even gotten a sample of it.
Hey Sarah! 💖 I didn't get on with Vanilla Powder, either. I had a hard time understanding the hype on that one.
Hi Veronica, I do agree with u 99% of the times, but I respecfully disagree when it comes to La Tarte Tatin, for me and for all my friends this smells amazing, merry christmas! 🙂
Merry Christmas! 🎄❄️ I'm always happy to hear different opinions. 🙏 I'm glad it's working for you! 💖💖💖
Yeah, my worst fragrance disappointment was also Blue heart. The notes sounded terrific but it came off terribly on my skin. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! 🎄🎄🎄 Seems like Blue Heart was a miss for many in the comments. 😬
Lol I agree that one should not spend so much to smell like an ashtray 😫 Great video! 👍🫶👏
Right?!? I feel you. 🤢🤢🤢 I was truly embarrassed that I smelled like that to him! 😩
I totally agree with vanille leather. It made me uncomfortable lol
I understand! 💖
I didnt get much leather out of this fragrance which is what would have made me love it. As is, I find it quite underwhelming 🤷🏽♀️
Hey Veronica!❤❤ I love blue heart😅.. thank God I didn’t get what you got from it😊it’s such a sexy scent to me
Glad you're enjoying it! 💖💖💖 I know some folks adore it. 🥰
Old ass pancakes 🤣🤣That was priceless! Guidance was my big stinker this year. Definitely NOT for me. I even sampled Guidance 46 since everyone said it was better but still a nope for me. And while I really liked the scent of Rouge Smoking, on me it straight up smelled like root beer. And speaking of loud fragrances, I just sprayed a sample of Kajal Lamar and got a pineapple punch to the face! 🍍Hopefully it calms down because it is pretty but wow is that potent! I really enjoyed your video. Fabulous as always! ❤
Thank you soooo much! 💖🥰 I'm getting Guidance 46 - I thought it was lovely. HOWEVER! Soooo many do not get on with either Guidance. I totally understand! Lamar is a loud one. I prefer Dahab - the passionfruit musky cousin to Lamar. I found Lamar a bit masculine for my taste. Thanks for sharing! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I could not do Vanille 12:00. I had a sample and I had to give it to a friend.
Oh noooo! I'm sorry to hear this. Most people that have reported back about it enjoyed it. 😩
@ it’s like a bad boyfriend “ It’s me not you” The more I learn about perfume , I think we all smell things differently and it reacts with each of our bodies chemistry differently. Love your videos
@lisadell1777 thank you so much! 🥰
We have very different taste but I love your filming style so I watch!! I gotta admit, I sampled Blanc Kogane after you mentioned it and it stank to me LOL I’d have to say Tilia was the worst for me in 2024 😅
Thank you! I consider all perfume channels just entertainment, including my own. Glad you enjoy the content! 🥰🥰🥰 And sorry you also disliked Blanc Kogane! Darn!
I tried Tilia and the immediate smell was so off putting that I washed it off before I could get to the dry down!!! That’s another NO for me!!!
@Chantal_aimeparfums oh no! 😂 Yes the opening of Tilia is a bit much but I do love the dry down.
@@Chantal_aimeparfums and I love beast modes but that one is too much 🤢

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video! 💖💖💖
I had two terrible fragrances experiences this year. The first was Burberry Her. I received a sample with a Sephora order and immediately gave it to my teenage daughter as I knew it wouldn’t be for me. The day she came out wearing it I almost threw up. It gave me an instant headache and the synthetic strawberry made me incredibly nauseous. She was really bummed with my reaction because she really liked it.
The second was with Goddess Intense. I thought the original was ok but a little bit boring. I was excited to try intense because I love patchouli. I sprayed it on my wrist while at Ulta and had the same reaction as with Burberry Her. Instant headache and nausea.
I don't enjoy Burberry Her either for the same reasons. Now Goddess Intense I do get along with! Thanks for sharing your experience! 💖💖💖
Oh yay I can’t wait to watch this!
