At 11:43 I really like how you have the name(and the house) of the fragrance AND a photo of the bottle visible The Whole Time that you are talking about that particular fragrance. It's the second best thing to a time stamp 😊💕 Have a good weekend 🏖🦋
Hi Veronica! I have been watching your wonderful content for a while now but have never commented. Just wanted to tell you that I absolutely love watching your reviews and how elegant and put together you always look.
Love your sampling videos!! I’m in my sample girl era especially since my perfume collection is leaning more towards niche than designer, so I can’t be blind buying $200/$300 perfumes. Moon Carnival is amazing and it’s on my wishlist. I almost blind bought Sweet Praline based on the notes but I’m glad I sampled it first because it smelled better on paper than it did on my skin.
Hi Analisa! 💖🥰 I'm on a sampling blitz also 🤣 So many beauties to try out, so little skin, money, and time! Thanks for sharing your Sweet Praline experience.
For what it's worth: the Keiko Meicheri Isles Loîntaines fragrance is pronounced "EEL lwanh-TEN" and it means "faraway islands" Hope that helps! And the "French version" of Anticonformiste is anh-tee-con-for-MEEST. And it is fun to hear your Spanish come through! 🙂
You’re killing me with all these frags! So many of those sound soooo good. I’m on a no buy until fall weather is here so I’ve got to be good, but keep making my list of ones to try😊 Fab list as always!
Veronica 💛🌹💛 Just have to express my gratitude to you for being a welcome relief from all the stresses of this crazy world we live in...you are my 'comfort zone'. Love your humor, and all the Fab reviews... stay cool my friend 😎
Yea Sweet Praline didn’t hit the mark for me either. So glad I got it for 30% off 😩 I’ve been loving Keep Glazed 👍🏼 For me it’s a sweet creamy somewhat lactonic mango 😊 thanks for giving us your honest opinion on these samples 😉
With a name like "Sweet Praline" there's a certain expectation of, perhaps, a sweet smelling, nutty, caramelized, praline type scent... at least that's what I would be hoping for. A yummy gourmand fragrance. If that's not what it is but that's what you want, I know where you can find one if you're in the US.
Veronica,💕 I think you have saved many of us from some major blind buy mistakes. I nearly boarded the hype train on Gritti fragrances when it was all ober YT in the Spring. The thing that prevented an unfortunate blind buy mistake was the price and also reading reviews that were not all glowing. Definitely put the breaks on and knew to sample first. I think the only fragrance I want to test after watching you talk about these is the TF Soleil de Feu. Just because I like to try the TF releases even if I don't buy them. 💛
Jenn, I have to say that, overall, the Gritti fragrances have been underwhelming for the price. I still love those bottles and am still interested in maybe grabbing one some day. Thanks for watching! 💖🥰
Hey Veronica that’s a whole lotta sampling! I have a tester of Vanilj by Maya Njie and I like it a lot; this house is on my radar. This week I wore Seta for outdoor fireworks…..at your recommendation and WOW - it was so beautiful. Totally bloomed in the AZ heat. Opened my eyes a bit to my pigeon-holing frags to specific seasons. I tend to put what I perceive as winter stuff away this time of year. Maybe I should not be doing that. I think perhaps Seta worked so well because it’s not overly sweet? Happy Saturday ☀️
Oh lovely! Seta and fireworks 🎆 sounds like a great match! It is NOT overly sweet - you're so right. I'd like to try more Maya Nije also. I'm intrigued! Have a great weekend 🥰🥰🥰
Vicebomb im absolutely obsessed with! Had a sample and immediately hunted for a full bottle. It comes over thick to me so I’ll be using it for fall. Also gives me gentle fluidity gold vibes.
I have sampled two of these in this video: Moon Carnival and Lys 41. I love Moon Carnival! Pretty tuberose and marshmallow. Full bottle worthy for me! Lys 41 for me was too mature. My notes: Opening is slightly sharp and a bit soapy, but quickly becomes creamier. The vanilla is very prominent on clothes initially and not on skin (at the start). Mature. Not FBW for me. I didn’t write this but waxy from the lily. I’ll try my sample again.
A hot synthetic mess you say?! Oh how I laughed out loud when you said that. You know I own most of the CH Confidential line and Amber Desire is one of my favorites. I plan to add Stallion Leather as soon as that sale 😉 hits. Love this series cause you just tell it like it is.
Verónica, good evening. Gorgeous eyes: lashes and the ombré satin 🧜♀️ eyeshadow application, bella! As always, lovely earrings ✨️ Thank you for video. I love dough notes in parfum as in the smell of a Panetone.
Not sure if I've missed it Veronica, but have you tried the new Hermes Un Jardin A Cythere? I wasn't sure about it at first sniff, but after watching Joanna Mercado and Delicious Delights detailed review of it I tried it again and it's become a HUGE HUGE HUGE love 😍 Joanna mentioned recognising a fresh calamansi note and I get it too!! So yum, oddly comforting, unique and addictive. Long lasting on my skin and will be perfect for summer 😎 May need to get a bigger bottle cause i can't stop reaching for it 🤭 xx
Hey Vee!💖💕💖You captured the description of Sweet Praline precisely, it left a lot to be desired (for me) in the sweetness category. I was expecting something more based off the name alone! A great sale is definitely a lever that can get me to reconsider or change my mind 😂🤣😂
Tutu extrait from Gritti( which is absolutely not strong enough to be called an extrait), and I really like. Beautiful pretty girl floral and easy reach but it doesn’t project enough to spend those kind of coins on it! I got the dua version during the sale so hoping that is a good clone
🤣🤣🤣Oh no, I looOOOoove synthetic jungle so much and I actually found it thank to you = digging into the green fragrances I tried some of the ones you mentionned in a video, then I wanted to go a little further and found this amazing scent. I find Simone Andreoli very challenging in general, definitly NOT a safe blind buy. Thank you for sharing all this content, I learn a lot on your channel 🙇♀☺
II watched while I got ready for work this morning. Now I’m watching again to comment. 😊 I KNOW how much you missed me!😂 Love panettone! My grandmother (Italian) made it often. By the way, I ordered a decant of Coffee Addict. Excited!!! Also ordered a travel spray of Dolce Garden…your fault 😂 I wore purple today..eyes and top. I wore JPG La Belle parfum intense. I smelled purple!😂😂😂 Stale hairspray and plastic doll heads???😂😂😂 I need to go smell a doll head before I start my shift at Walmart. I wouldn’t want to miss out, now would I! 😅 Love hearing you describe your ‘weird’ unusual fragrances. I’m not super adventurous at the moment 🤭 Right now I’m playing it kind of safe with sweeter fragrance. Designer, gourmands, vintage, and several middle eastern brands. Loved the video…as usual….❤️
Hi Leah! 💖 Hope you had a great work shift! Love the head to toe "purple" bubble idea! 😄 Let me know your thoughts on Coffee Addict - I'm curious! It's okay NOT to be adventurous and stick to what you know you like - totally fine! You know you'll smell good! 💖💖💖
I blind bought Vicebomb after seeing Marcy’s video, and I was surprised how much I liked it on the test strip and loved it even more on my skin. I also blind bought Bianco Latte which you featured in your other videos, and I honestly don’t know how I feel about it right now…it’s really a 50-50 for me….so wish me luck, as I also blind bought Gossip Night recently. 🤣🤣🤣. I seem to have so many blind buys recently. Scent of Peace was my very first BN9, I still have this in my collection but it’s not my favorite Bond. I had the same experience with Keep Glazed, I thought I would like it for the mango note but I was not even getting the mango. We truly enjoy this kind of videos. Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you, Marie! 💖 Glad you're enjoying Vicebomb. It was fun to sample! And thanks for sharing your thoughts on Bianco Latte and Keep Glazed. Please do come back and let me know if Gossip Night works out for you. So many people just LOVE IT! I have to know! 😄
That nostalgic fragrance that smells like the smarties candies intrigued me. I love fragrances that remind me of my childhood or certain things I loved growing up 🥰 The LVEB oui also has a smarties candy undertone, in my opinion, it doesn’t scream but it’s definitely there for me. 💕
Hey Cuz!!! 😂😂😂. @ JAIPUR CHAI is amazing in the dry down. Initially I get that soapy dry cardamom and it shocked me upon initial spray!! I do love that dry down though 😅💖🙌 Amazing review lovely 💖 I do like LYS but it’s definitely familiar. It’s like the note LYSYLANG that Ex Nihilo loves using ☺️
Lys 41 is pretty but Kate Spade Live Colorfully is very similar and a little less challenging, not to mention a whole lot less pricey!! 😅 Great video Veronica! I had to come back and finish tonight- better late than never! 😂🥰
Thank you, Tammy! 💖 I often go back and rewatch or finish videos later in the day! I didn't love Live Colorfully. Something in that one felt a bit flat for me. Pretty bottle, though! 👍👍👍
I love your videos! I had a similar experience with Gritti a few weeks ago. I bought about 10 samples from the house (Tutu, Tutu Blanc, etc) It took me 5 days to really try them out fully and it was a difficult 5 days, they smelled so unpleasant on me and I struggled to put on another one the following day and have it feel like it was angry with me.. thats the vibe the smell was giving me. I think it must be the general DNA that is not for me. The last day I begrudgingly tried Chantilly and I think it was ok and might even like it. I would need to try it again to be sure but I am still kinda traumatized and want to simply wear things i love for a bit before going back in. So happy to hear about your experience with Stallion Leather. I love that it isnt shy, no one is gonna say.... is that leather I smell?...lol....Respect!
Hi Mercedes! 💖 Oh my goodness - remind me, did you send me Stallion Leather? If so, I'm so sorry I forgot to mention that! 😩🤦♀️🥴 It's so good! And soooo masculine! I want it for hubby. But he said no more! 😂 Gritti - I like Chantilly and Tutu Blanc. Some of the others I just do not understand. 😳
@@VeronicaSays Yes, I did send it when I was in the USA last month. I have worn it but do admit that it is masculine and a bomb at that. I work from home so no one gets offended, hahahaha.
I love Madera. It comes off on me was true vanilla, caramel. Super sweet! I agree with you on gossip night. Had such high expectations but was a let down for me. I then tried bon Bon bon pop and that satisfied my fruit/peach gourmand itch lol!
@@VeronicaSays I’m like you, my mind can be changed by a good discount lol! But i would have bought bon bon pop even without one. Just happened that so avarde restocked it during the fireworks30 code for 30% off so I snatched it up quick!
Fabulous Descriptions! Of many scents I've certainly not tried. You think you've tried a lot of fragrances and then one sees a rundown of sooo many that have escaped us. Ah, well, 'tis this hobby for ya. So many enjoyable choices we have. I do enjoy Scent of Peace, own it, cherish the bottle design. Might be my favorite as I love doves. I didn't get Bond Madison Square Park yet, did you?.. might just get a travel size. One I did just buy ... Jovoy Musc Pallas. G🧡RGEOUS!
@@VeronicaSays ... I have the Body Cream and I love it. It's more of a gorgeous fruity-musky-clean scent, at least in the Body Cream. Been a while since I've worn it ... will have to reach for it soon to recall how much green is in there. Might be more prevalent in the EDP. Their Creams are really well done. Very uplifting, you KNOW you smell yummy kind of fragrance. Hoping it hasn't changed.
Hey twin! We also toast slices of panettone and eat it with spread butter 😋 I haven’t tried the fragrance and can’t imagine wanting to smell like that 😂😅
Thanks for the great reviews as always! I have to say I understand Fredric Malle is supposed to be a very acclaimed house but I don't like most of their fragrances. Une Rose is amazing but doesn't last and I don't like Portrait of a Lady. Something in it smells harsh and doesn't improve with the dry down on my skin but many people call it a masterpiece so it may be my chemistry. Maybe you can do a video of true luxury houses. Electimuss is the real deal as far as a brand goes. Beautiful packaging, quality fragrances and great customer service. While some houses are expensive but not very luxury with all the details. 💖
Hi Christina! 💖 Thank you so much! I didn't love Portrait of a Lady either. It was somewhat skanky for me. 🥴 I do enjoy a few from the house though and own Iris Poudree. Electimuss is a fun house! 🥳🥳🥳
Oh! Veronica! An idea has just come to my mind... I have heard that some niche fragrances and high end makeup are slightly cheaper my side of the pond through Selfridges ... And Selfridges has a yearly payment that has international free shipping.... Maybe you could do some investigating 🤓🕵🏿♀️
Hi Ijeoma! 🥰 Yes, that is true! I looked into that last year. It's a great option for people who enjoy retail shopping but want a bit of a better rate than the USD affords. 👍👍👍 AND Selfridges has lower prices in general, regardless of the exchange rate.
Oooh … I’m conflicted - I love Grand Soir and Material … never thought of the two combined but I’m intrigued! BUT conflicted enough to get a sample first and not blind buy it.
Great vid! I’ve only tried one Gritti scent (Duchessa) but am curious about both you sampled. Duchessa was great for me. I’ve only sampled a couple of the others in your list - Vicebomb which was ok - I’m not a huge cherry fan. But it was interesting. I’ll try my sample out in summer see how it reacts in heat. I also tried Panettone. I’m not a huge gourmand lover. Caramelly and super sweet foods can make me feel nauseous. This one was too literal. I don’t want to smell like food 🤣 but I can appreciate it. I’d love to try Soleil de Feu though. I also have CH Amber Desire on my list - I’m not fussed on gourmands but am all over a hot, spicy and sweet Amber frag 🤣🤷♀️ I’m jonesing for Celine’s Black Tie (oooph so good. A demi-gourmand iris) and just bought Room1015 Sonic Flower ❤️ I dug Synthetic Jungle. I got the impression of a lush humid jungle full of bright triffid-like heavily scented blooms (with teeth) growing out of asphalt and concrete. It smelt great on me. I’ve only sampled it once and would like to revisit. Thanks for making my coldish wet and wintery day a bit more cozy.
Hi Susannah! 💖 Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these! I enjoy hearing opinions even if they differ from my own. Amber Desire was a surprise beauty! I enjoyed it. I forget that it's winter where you are! Glad this video brought you some coziness 😊😊😊
Great list as usual- you always cover something that wasn’t on my radar. This is also the only place I’m going to hear a bleach water comparison 😂 Scent of Peace was my first Bond, and as a fan of watery fruity florals still one of my favorites. I get better performance from it than Gold Coast, and even though it doesn’t have the same WOW 🤩 factor as Greenwich Village it’s a Spring/Summer favorite for me. Daisy has sooooo many flankers I don’t know if it’s even possible to try them all but they can definitely surprise you with how good they are. Daisy Twinkle and Twinkle Eau so Fresh smell like the most delightful body wash or shampoo to me, but I love them both and am sad they were discontinued. So if you find a Daisy variation you like grab the full bottle while you can.
Thank you so much! 💖🥰 Scent of Peace is an easy reach type. You never know with me. It might end up on my shelf one day! 🤣 I wore Daisy Eau So Fresh today and it was fresh, fruity, light, and simple. Just what I needed! 👍
You should try because im free by gritti if you like candied fruits and tuberose.😊maybye your sample of gossip night was off cause that doesnt sound like anything people are getting or what i got.😊
I absolutely love these P or P videos from you, they really help🤩🤩. I blind bought Panettone at the beginning of the year and I love it😍😍. I used to eat Panettone some years but stopped when I changed my lifestyle🤩🤩. I’m only buying spring and summer fragrances now even though we are in the dead of winter, I like to be prepared🤩🤩. Stay gorgeous🥰🥰
I wanted to say, I have Jaipur Chai and totally get that off vibe at the beginning. However, I combine this with one spray of Winter of ’99 from Kerosene. That has like a nutmeg/eggnog thing to it that marries so well with the great spices in Jaipur Chai -it is a wonderful around the holidays combo. Winter holiday, but unique winter holiday. Mmmm so good. Love the video!!
Thank you soooo much! 💖 I have Winter of 99 - appreciate the layering idea. I'm okay with a fragrance opening being "off" as long as it doesn't last a long time. Do you get a milky or creamy vibe from Jaipur Chai on its own?
@@VeronicaSays You know, the funny thing is I find it milky -I don't get coconut (which is cool bc I don't love coconut) - and tea like. Almost a dryer milk feeling. I like mixing it when I want a chai tea element to my scent that day. For me, it plays well with others and amps either a tea profile or a spicy profile, so I rarely wear it alone. I also find it is nice with Tea for Two from L'Artesan Prefumeur.
i love Tropica not a beast mode fragrance but beautiful last about 8hrs on clothes and about 5 on skin.. and keep glazed i don't get what you do it's fun fragrance to wear in the summer longevity & sillage is Omazing..
Hi Veronica!! Grew up eating Panettone and waiting for my decant to try it out!! Wearing Dulcis in Fundo today, staying indoors most of the day with freezing AC haha..very sweet but not powdery to my nose, super comforting! Great video, thanks for sharing your experience with hyped perfumes 💗
@@VeronicaSays It stays strong 5 hours, then more of a soft scent but I'm an under sprayer, so I can see it lasting up to 8 hours if I sprayed more, oh and on clothes lasts days :)
Hi Veronica, I was definitely in the rabbit hole with Carolina Herrera Confidential fragrances. I have Amber Desire and recently added Stallion Leather. Yes, it is truly Leather. I ❤️ Tom Ford Soleil de Feu during the last Sephora sale. I enjoy “Is it full bottle worthy” Review. 👏🏾😍
Hey! I wanted to thank for mentioning O d'Azur a couple of videos ago, along with Delina la Rosée. I bought O d'Azur right away and loved it and then you tempted me with the Jomashop sale 😂 and I pulled the trigger on La Rosée, even though I am definitely not a fan of the original and think the Exclusif is just ok. Im not even a rose fan, or so I thought. But my nose is changing, and I'm having a citrus, aquatic, tea, and maybe rose moment. Anywho, thanks again. Sorry I posted it here, but I was too lazy to go back and finding which past video to post on 😅.
Hiii! Woohoo! So happy O d'Azur worked out and that you got La Rosée! Both so awesome for the heat of summer. 🥰🥰🥰 Thank you for sharing. Jomashop gets us ALLLLL! 😂😂😂
@VeronicaSays I live in Florida and they have been in constant rotation the past few weeks. Love them both. I totally trust your nose. Love that you are honest and your descriptions make sense to me, so that helps me pick the stuff I think will work for me. Love your channel, your videos on Saturday are part of my weekend routine 😅
Loved this Veronica! A lot of houses I've never heard of before. There were a couple that piqued my interest though - Daisy Eau So Intense and Isles Lontaines. I've been really into honey and clean/soapy fragrances lately. They both sound like something I'd love. Synthetic Jungle sounds like a mess - can't imagine wanting to smell like tomatoes and herbs lol. Thanks for trying these out and sharing your honest thoughts❣
Hi friend! 💖 Thank you! I enjoyed this round of samples! Have you tried Pure Honey by Kim Kardashian? It's like $13 and a soapy honey floral fragrance. A gem!
@@VeronicaSays Yessss! I'm pretty sure because of your influence. 😜 Love it from the atomizer and on paper. I haven't had a chance to wear it yet though - soon!
Great review and your description of fragrances often make me laugh😊 I love For your love by Mizensir. I saw Sharida’s review of Sweet Praline and did not think I wanted it and your review confirms that I prob will not like it.. though I may still smell it😊
Me and Bonds... Argh 😪 I wanna love it but can't and I figured out its because of the musk. Me and must don't bang, at least not their musk. Gonna check out Tom Ford. Eye look ana nail color are lovely!
I loved Soleil de Feu from the first spray. I thought the exact same thing about it being released in summer vs. Fall. I also tried Keep Glazed and I found it to be extremely offputting.
Hey Veronica, I don't know if I told you, already, if so I apologize... I received a sample of the new reformulated release of Euphoria EDT by Calvin Klein and, to my surprise, I love it. I usually get so disappointed when fragrances (especially lovely, good performers) are reformulated. Well, this time, they aced it! The performance is wonderful and the fragrance is a really beautiful mix of sweet raspberries and vanilla with soft florals that blend perfectly and it's all resting on creamy cashmeran and I cannot get enough. It lasted at least 6 hours but I wasn't watching the clock so it could've been more. Have you tried this?? I want this one. I'm not really a "fruity floral" person and I don't even think that's what I'd call it. You've got to try it if you haven't. 💜
Hi! No I haven't tried it but I'll keep an eye open for it at Ulta. They usually carry the Euphoria line over here. Thanks for putting it on my radar! 👍👍👍
I have Amber Desire from CH, I really love it. It's very sweet and lux at the same time. I don't feel I need Grand Soir but I am curious about testing Material. I am hoping it is not redundant with Amber Desire...
Hi Raquel! 💖 Girl... you are going to make me hunt down a bottle of Amber Desire! I was trying NOT to buy it 😩 I don't think having Material is redundant. There is enough of a difference. 👍
Hi Veronica! Great video! 😀👏👏❤️ I agree with your analysis of Gritti… quite synthetic and vexing. Your pronunciation of Soleil de Feu is perfect😀 Agree about Marc Jacobs Daisy line, very nice and pretty (I own a few). Thank you for putting some cool & interesting new fragrances on my radar. 😀
@@VeronicaSays 😀 That’s funny! Actually, Tutu & Chantilly are literally the only 2 I haven’t tried from the line 😂 (sometimes one is just unlucky?) 🤣 I’ll grab some samples for Luckyscent and check them out 🙏
Yes that’s the Iris flanker I am talking about being too sweet for comfort 😂. I moved on from the original La vies some years ago. I like Iris but I still found it too sweet, and giving nothing else. I’ll sample it again though before ruling it out
I'm just getting into la vie at 56 & all the avail flankers. Everyone is always bashing it as a whole. I love sweet & don't care if I smell the same as others. I wear fragrance for me. My fave is oui & I'm wondering if I need this one too. I think i will cave in cause it will look lovely with my others. 😊
I had high hopes for Synthetic Jungle as a green perfume. I quite like it but if you like Silences by Jacome I’d be really interested if you smelled them side by side. I thought this is what Anne Filipo was going for. I wear Silences whereas Synthetic Jungle is a little miniature that is in my ‘perfume library’ and I like to smell it from time to time so I doubt I’ll need to replace my little bottle. Great video as always.
On me it just smells like raisin bread. Is that what real panatone smells like? Good fragrance but I couldn't imagine an occasion where I would want to smell like this & I'm the kind of person that buys coffee or blueberry muffin scents just on the off chance that I get invited to go to a restaurant for breakfast 🤣
Panettone does have similarity to raisin bread, yes, but has a more doughy smell and very slightly nutty. LMBO at your fragrance arsenal for the morning brunch date! 😄😄😄
At 11:43 I really like how you have the name(and the house) of the fragrance AND a photo of the bottle visible The Whole Time that you are talking about that particular fragrance. It's the second best thing to a time stamp 😊💕 Have a good weekend 🏖🦋
I had the same experience with Keep Glazed too!
You sampled a lot 😊
Sometimes it’s a relief to satisfy the itch and avoid adding to cart 😅
Oh really? Thanks for sharing! I was surprised by how much it just went totally weird on me. And yes, sampling does scratch an itch or two. 😄
I have made some mistakes getting blind some hyped fragrances (eg., Ani Nishane-too cloying). So this video is useful.
Me too! It's a whole adventure for sure! 😄
Hi Veronica! I have been watching your wonderful content for a while now but have never commented. Just wanted to tell you that I absolutely love watching your reviews and how elegant and put together you always look.
Hi Leigh! 💖 What a lovely comment! Thank you so very much! 🫶🫶🫶
I love her eyes and jewels :)
Awww thank you, Alma! 🥰💖
Love your sampling videos!! I’m in my sample girl era especially since my perfume collection is leaning more towards niche than designer, so I can’t be blind buying $200/$300 perfumes. Moon Carnival is amazing and it’s on my wishlist. I almost blind bought Sweet Praline based on the notes but I’m glad I sampled it first because it smelled better on paper than it did on my skin.
Hi Analisa! 💖🥰 I'm on a sampling blitz also 🤣 So many beauties to try out, so little skin, money, and time! Thanks for sharing your Sweet Praline experience.
For what it's worth: the Keiko Meicheri Isles Loîntaines fragrance is pronounced "EEL lwanh-TEN" and it means "faraway islands" Hope that helps! And the "French version" of Anticonformiste is anh-tee-con-for-MEEST. And it is fun to hear your Spanish come through! 🙂
Thank you so much! 💖🥰
I wish I could speak beautiful languages. 💜
You’re killing me with all these frags! So many of those sound soooo good. I’m on a no buy until fall weather is here so I’ve got to be good, but keep making my list of ones to try😊 Fab list as always!
Thank you! 💖🥰 Stay strong until Fall then you can go crazy and rack up 😄
Thanks for saving us a lot of time. I value your unbiased and very blunt opinions!
Hi Ellen! 💖 Thank you for this kind compliment! Much appreciated! 🥰
Soleil de Feu is absolutely for the fall/winter. It is too much for the heat. A definite love for me!!❤
Glad you're enjoying it! I purchased it and wore it in warm weather. It did well, I think! 👍👍👍
Veronica 💛🌹💛
Just have to express my gratitude to you for being a welcome relief from all the stresses of this crazy world we live in...you are my 'comfort zone'. Love your humor, and all the Fab reviews... stay cool my friend 😎
Awwwww what a super touching comment! Thank you soooo much! You made my day! 🥰🫶💖🥰🫶💖
That Platino bottle is stunning. I’m glad you love the scent too❤
Do you have it, Cee? It's such a pleasant find! 💖💖💖
Ohhhhh now I’m pausing on gossip night. I’ll be testing and not blind buying!
Definitely test this one! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it.
Yea Sweet Praline didn’t hit the mark for me either. So glad I got it for 30% off 😩 I’ve been loving Keep Glazed 👍🏼 For me it’s a sweet creamy somewhat lactonic mango 😊 thanks for giving us your honest opinion on these samples 😉
With a name like "Sweet Praline" there's a certain expectation of, perhaps, a sweet smelling, nutty, caramelized, praline type scent... at least that's what I would be hoping for. A yummy gourmand fragrance.
If that's not what it is but that's what you want, I know where you can find one if you're in the US.
Hi Denise! Thank you! 💖🥰 I know lots of folks love Keep Glazed. 👍👍👍 Do you think you'll keep Sweet Praline?
Veronica,💕
I think you have saved many of us from some major blind buy mistakes. I nearly boarded the hype train on Gritti fragrances when it was all ober YT in the Spring. The thing that prevented an unfortunate blind buy mistake was the price and also reading reviews that were not all glowing. Definitely put the breaks on and knew to sample first.
I think the only fragrance I want to test after watching you talk about these is the TF Soleil de Feu. Just because I like to try the TF releases even if I don't buy them. 💛
Jenn, I have to say that, overall, the Gritti fragrances have been underwhelming for the price. I still love those bottles and am still interested in maybe grabbing one some day. Thanks for watching! 💖🥰
Hey Veronica that’s a whole lotta sampling! I have a tester of Vanilj by Maya Njie and I like it a lot; this house is on my radar. This week I wore Seta for outdoor fireworks…..at your recommendation and WOW - it was so beautiful. Totally bloomed in the AZ heat. Opened my eyes a bit to my pigeon-holing frags to specific seasons. I tend to put what I perceive as winter stuff away this time of year. Maybe I should not be doing that. I think perhaps Seta worked so well because it’s not overly sweet? Happy Saturday ☀️
Oh lovely! Seta and fireworks 🎆 sounds like a great match! It is NOT overly sweet - you're so right. I'd like to try more Maya Nije also. I'm intrigued! Have a great weekend 🥰🥰🥰
Omg I love Moon Carnival! Feels very alluring for sure!
Hi Andrea! 💖 I ordered a bottle. I couldn't resist! 😄
Vicebomb im absolutely obsessed with! Had a sample and immediately hunted for a full bottle. It comes over thick to me so I’ll be using it for fall. Also gives me gentle fluidity gold vibes.
Oh yes - Gentle Fluidity Gold! I can see the association! 💖🥰
I have sampled two of these in this video: Moon Carnival and Lys 41. I love Moon Carnival! Pretty tuberose and marshmallow. Full bottle worthy for me! Lys 41 for me was too mature. My notes: Opening is slightly sharp and a bit soapy, but quickly becomes creamier. The vanilla is very prominent on clothes initially and not on skin (at the start). Mature. Not FBW for me. I didn’t write this but waxy from the lily. I’ll try my sample again.
Hi Kate! Thanks so much for sharing your notes - so helpful! I may be purchasing Moon Carnival. I have so many similar scents but it's calling to me 😄
A hot synthetic mess you say?! Oh how I laughed out loud when you said that. You know I own most of the CH Confidential line and Amber Desire is one of my favorites. I plan to add Stallion Leather as soon as that sale 😉 hits. Love this series cause you just tell it like it is.
Hi Faith! 💖 Yes I did say that. It was NOT for me. Whew! Amber Desire was a special one! Thanks so much! 🙏🥰
I’ve used up my 30ml bottle of Madera; it’s so gorgeous and creamy. And I LOOOOOOOVE panettone. It’s so yummy and I always get compliments with it.
Hi there! 💖 Yes! Both lovely (and full bottles have been secured and added to the shelves)! 🙌🥰💖
@@VeronicaSays yaaaaaaaay!!!!!! 💓💓💓
Verónica, good evening. Gorgeous eyes: lashes and the ombré satin 🧜♀️ eyeshadow application, bella! As always, lovely earrings ✨️ Thank you for video. I love dough notes in parfum as in the smell of a Panetone.
Thank you very much, Alma! 💖🥰 You are so sweet! I love dough notes too! Yummy!
Not sure if I've missed it Veronica, but have you tried the new Hermes Un Jardin A Cythere? I wasn't sure about it at first sniff, but after watching Joanna Mercado and Delicious Delights detailed review of it I tried it again and it's become a HUGE HUGE HUGE love 😍 Joanna mentioned recognising a fresh calamansi note and I get it too!! So yum, oddly comforting, unique and addictive. Long lasting on my skin and will be perfect for summer 😎 May need to get a bigger bottle cause i can't stop reaching for it 🤭 xx
I have not tried that one, but sounds LOVELY! Thanks for sharing your impressions 💖💖💖
Hey Vee!💖💕💖You captured the description of Sweet Praline precisely, it left a lot to be desired (for me) in the sweetness category. I was expecting something more based off the name alone!
A great sale is definitely a lever that can get me to reconsider or change my mind 😂🤣😂
Evelyn! 💖 Yeah... it was lackluster. 🤷♀️ On the other hand, I am a sucker for a good sale! Come on, Jomashop! 😂😂😂
Tutu extrait from Gritti( which is absolutely not strong enough to be called an extrait), and I really like. Beautiful pretty girl floral and easy reach but it doesn’t project enough to spend those kind of coins on it! I got the dua version during the sale so hoping that is a good clone
Tutu was nice to sample. Did you try Tutu Blanc? I enjoyed that one too! And Chantilly. 👍👍👍
@@VeronicaSays I haven’t tried the blanc. I need to get that sample next
🤣🤣🤣Oh no, I looOOOoove synthetic jungle so much and I actually found it thank to you = digging into the green fragrances I tried some of the ones you mentionned in a video, then I wanted to go a little further and found this amazing scent.
I find Simone Andreoli very challenging in general, definitly NOT a safe blind buy.
Thank you for sharing all this content, I learn a lot on your channel 🙇♀☺
I'm glad you're enjoying the content! And hey, if you love Synthetic Jungle, then please rock it on my behalf! 💖🥳💖🥳
II watched while I got ready for work this morning. Now I’m watching again to comment. 😊 I KNOW how much you missed me!😂
Love panettone! My grandmother (Italian) made it often.
By the way, I ordered a decant of Coffee Addict. Excited!!!
Also ordered a travel spray of Dolce Garden…your fault 😂
I wore purple today..eyes and top. I wore JPG La Belle parfum intense. I smelled purple!😂😂😂
Stale hairspray and plastic doll heads???😂😂😂 I need to go smell a doll head before I start my shift at Walmart. I wouldn’t want to miss out, now would I! 😅
Love hearing you describe your ‘weird’ unusual fragrances. I’m not super adventurous at the moment 🤭
Right now I’m playing it kind of safe with sweeter fragrance. Designer, gourmands, vintage, and several middle eastern brands.
Loved the video…as usual….❤️
Hi Leah! 💖 Hope you had a great work shift! Love the head to toe "purple" bubble idea! 😄 Let me know your thoughts on Coffee Addict - I'm curious! It's okay NOT to be adventurous and stick to what you know you like - totally fine! You know you'll smell good! 💖💖💖
You look like a DREAM with this eye look Vernonica! 🤩🤩🤩 Issa Lewk 😂!!! Ok now let’s get into these fragrances 😊.
Awwww, thank you, doll! 💖🥰🫶 You are so sweet!
Yes Mizensir is very hyped on some corners of TikTok!! From them I’ve only tried Tres Chere (love) and Ambre Magique (like)
I think it's the perfumer behind the line that excited folks. I'd love to try all the rest too! 👍👍👍
I blind bought Vicebomb after seeing Marcy’s video, and I was surprised how much I liked it on the test strip and loved it even more on my skin. I also blind bought Bianco Latte which you featured in your other videos, and I honestly don’t know how I feel about it right now…it’s really a 50-50 for me….so wish me luck, as I also blind bought Gossip Night recently. 🤣🤣🤣. I seem to have so many blind buys recently.
Scent of Peace was my very first BN9, I still have this in my collection but it’s not my favorite Bond. I had the same experience with Keep Glazed, I thought I would like it for the mango note but I was not even getting the mango.
We truly enjoy this kind of videos. Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you, Marie! 💖 Glad you're enjoying Vicebomb. It was fun to sample! And thanks for sharing your thoughts on Bianco Latte and Keep Glazed. Please do come back and let me know if Gossip Night works out for you. So many people just LOVE IT! I have to know! 😄
Thanks Veronica., I have been just sampling a lot of fragrances 7-8-2023❤., I like your Eyes I can see you like this Color a lot 👍🏽👍🏽
Hey Marilyn! 🥰 I've been having fun sampling too. 💖 Thank you sooo much!
Okay, Madera and Platino: added to my list ! 😍🥰
Hey Paola! 🥰 Both are up your alley! 💖
That nostalgic fragrance that smells like the smarties candies intrigued me. I love fragrances that remind me of my childhood or certain things I loved growing up 🥰
The LVEB oui also has a smarties candy undertone, in my opinion, it doesn’t scream but it’s definitely there for me. 💕
It smells JUST like the Smarties powder! Let me know if you try it 🥰🥰🥰
We love a good sampling video! Thanks for sharing about Vicebomb
Hi Santa! 💖 Are you considering Vicebomb?
Ooohhhh good looking out on Gossip Night lol. Will not be blind buying. Will get a sample first.
Yes, sample. You might love it. I'm thinking something is off with my sense of smell cause the sample was a disaster for me. 😩🤦♀️
Hey Cuz!!! 😂😂😂. @ JAIPUR CHAI is amazing in the dry down. Initially I get that soapy dry cardamom and it shocked me upon initial spray!! I do love that dry down though 😅💖🙌 Amazing review lovely 💖
I do like LYS but it’s definitely familiar. It’s like the note LYSYLANG that Ex Nihilo loves using ☺️
Hi beautiful! Jaipur Chai and I might get along well. It's on my maybe list for this fall! 💖💖💖 Lysylang? Let me go look up this ingredient! 👍👍👍
Sweet Praline 😅 lol. Decluttered. Thank for the shoutout 😊
Yes! I can see why. 🤣
Lys 41 is pretty but Kate Spade Live Colorfully is very similar and a little less challenging, not to mention a whole lot less pricey!! 😅 Great video Veronica! I had to come back and finish tonight- better late than never! 😂🥰
Thank you, Tammy! 💖 I often go back and rewatch or finish videos later in the day! I didn't love Live Colorfully. Something in that one felt a bit flat for me. Pretty bottle, though! 👍👍👍
I got the strawberry leaf and lemon out of keep it glazed and smelled synthetic. Didnt like it either.😮
😯😯😯 Oh no! Thank you for sharing, Danielle!
I love your videos! I had a similar experience with Gritti a few weeks ago. I bought about 10 samples from the house (Tutu, Tutu Blanc, etc) It took me 5 days to really try them out fully and it was a difficult 5 days, they smelled so unpleasant on me and I struggled to put on another one the following day and have it feel like it was angry with me.. thats the vibe the smell was giving me. I think it must be the general DNA that is not for me. The last day I begrudgingly tried Chantilly and I think it was ok and might even like it. I would need to try it again to be sure but I am still kinda traumatized and want to simply wear things i love for a bit before going back in.
So happy to hear about your experience with Stallion Leather. I love that it isnt shy, no one is gonna say.... is that leather I smell?...lol....Respect!
Hi Mercedes! 💖 Oh my goodness - remind me, did you send me Stallion Leather? If so, I'm so sorry I forgot to mention that! 😩🤦♀️🥴 It's so good! And soooo masculine! I want it for hubby. But he said no more! 😂 Gritti - I like Chantilly and Tutu Blanc. Some of the others I just do not understand. 😳
@@VeronicaSays Yes, I did send it when I was in the USA last month. I have worn it but do admit that it is masculine and a bomb at that. I work from home so no one gets offended, hahahaha.
@mercedesluna108 well thank you again, and my apology for neglecting to mention you sent it! 🫶🫶🫶🫶
Same case over here. I've tried a few from the house, but their Gritti DNA hasn't vibed with me.
I love Madera. It comes off on me was true vanilla, caramel. Super sweet! I agree with you on gossip night. Had such high expectations but was a let down for me. I then tried bon Bon bon pop and that satisfied my fruit/peach gourmand itch lol!
Gossip Night was a sad experience. 🤣 I may be adding Madera to the shelves, we'll see! Hope to try BonBon Pop soon! 💖💖💖
@@VeronicaSays I’m like you, my mind can be changed by a good discount lol! But i would have bought bon bon pop even without one. Just happened that so avarde restocked it during the fireworks30 code for 30% off so I snatched it up quick!
I will completely agree about LaVie Est Belle Iris Absolu. It becomes the original over time.
Thank you for confirming. 💕
Fabulous Descriptions! Of many scents I've certainly not tried. You think you've tried a lot of fragrances and then one sees a rundown of sooo many that have escaped us. Ah, well, 'tis this hobby for ya. So many enjoyable choices we have. I do enjoy Scent of Peace, own it, cherish the bottle design. Might be my favorite as I love doves. I didn't get Bond Madison Square Park yet, did you?.. might just get a travel size. One I did just buy ... Jovoy Musc Pallas. G🧡RGEOUS!
Hi Holly! 🥰 Thank you! 💖 Ooooh Musc Pallas! Haven't tried that one. I haven't tried Madison Square Park either. Have you? Is it grassy?
@@VeronicaSays ... I have the Body Cream and I love it. It's more of a gorgeous fruity-musky-clean scent, at least in the Body Cream. Been a while since I've worn it ... will have to reach for it soon to recall how much green is in there. Might be more prevalent in the EDP. Their Creams are really well done. Very uplifting, you KNOW you smell yummy kind of fragrance. Hoping it hasn't changed.
Hey twin! We also toast slices of panettone and eat it with spread butter 😋 I haven’t tried the fragrance and can’t imagine wanting to smell like that 😂😅
LMBO! I am not sure I want to smell like toasted Panettone either but then again, maybe? 🤭🤔 Let's discuss 😂😂😂
Okey, let's watch 🎉😄🥰 and this makeup look is stunning on you 😍😍😍
Thank you sooooo much! 💖🥰
Thanks for the great reviews as always! I have to say I understand Fredric Malle is supposed to be a very acclaimed house but I don't like most of their fragrances. Une Rose is amazing but doesn't last and I don't like Portrait of a Lady. Something in it smells harsh and doesn't improve with the dry down on my skin but many people call it a masterpiece so it may be my chemistry. Maybe you can do a video of true luxury houses. Electimuss is the real deal as far as a brand goes. Beautiful packaging, quality fragrances and great customer service. While some houses are expensive but not very luxury with all the details.
💖
Hi Christina! 💖 Thank you so much! I didn't love Portrait of a Lady either. It was somewhat skanky for me. 🥴 I do enjoy a few from the house though and own Iris Poudree. Electimuss is a fun house! 🥳🥳🥳
I keep wanting to try Keep Glazed ❤
Definitely sample to see how it works for you! 👍👍👍
I really want to get my nose on Keep Glazed but after hearing your thoughts I definitely think I need a sample first
Yes, definitely sample to see how it works for you. 👍👍👍
Hey, your descriptions really help, especially when you are on the fence about some of these....thanks!
Hi Lucy! 💖 Awesome! Glad these videos are helpful!
Oh! Veronica! An idea has just come to my mind... I have heard that some niche fragrances and high end makeup are slightly cheaper my side of the pond through Selfridges ... And Selfridges has a yearly payment that has international free shipping.... Maybe you could do some investigating 🤓🕵🏿♀️
Hi Ijeoma! 🥰 Yes, that is true! I looked into that last year. It's a great option for people who enjoy retail shopping but want a bit of a better rate than the USD affords. 👍👍👍 AND Selfridges has lower prices in general, regardless of the exchange rate.
Oooh … I’m conflicted - I love Grand Soir and Material … never thought of the two combined but I’m intrigued! BUT conflicted enough to get a sample first and not blind buy it.
Hi Audra! 💖 Yeah, grab a decant if you can. It's a pricey fragrance! You want to make sure you're really digging it. 👍👍👍
Great vid! I’ve only tried one Gritti scent (Duchessa) but am curious about both you sampled. Duchessa was great for me.
I’ve only sampled a couple of the others in your list - Vicebomb which was ok - I’m not a huge cherry fan. But it was interesting. I’ll try my sample out in summer see how it reacts in heat. I also tried Panettone. I’m not a huge gourmand lover. Caramelly and super sweet foods can make me feel nauseous. This one was too literal. I don’t want to smell like food 🤣 but I can appreciate it.
I’d love to try Soleil de Feu though. I also have CH Amber Desire on my list - I’m not fussed on gourmands but am all over a hot, spicy and sweet Amber frag 🤣🤷♀️
I’m jonesing for Celine’s Black Tie (oooph so good. A demi-gourmand iris) and just bought Room1015 Sonic Flower ❤️
I dug Synthetic Jungle. I got the impression of a lush humid jungle full of bright triffid-like heavily scented blooms (with teeth) growing out of asphalt and concrete. It smelt great on me. I’ve only sampled it once and would like to revisit.
Thanks for making my coldish wet and wintery day a bit more cozy.
Hi Susannah! 💖 Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these! I enjoy hearing opinions even if they differ from my own. Amber Desire was a surprise beauty! I enjoyed it. I forget that it's winter where you are! Glad this video brought you some coziness 😊😊😊
Great list as usual- you always cover something that wasn’t on my radar. This is also the only place I’m going to hear a bleach water comparison 😂 Scent of Peace was my first Bond, and as a fan of watery fruity florals still one of my favorites. I get better performance from it than Gold Coast, and even though it doesn’t have the same WOW 🤩 factor as Greenwich Village it’s a Spring/Summer favorite for me. Daisy has sooooo many flankers I don’t know if it’s even possible to try them all but they can definitely surprise you with how good they are. Daisy Twinkle and Twinkle Eau so Fresh smell like the most delightful body wash or shampoo to me, but I love them both and am sad they were discontinued. So if you find a Daisy variation you like grab the full bottle while you can.
Thank you so much! 💖🥰 Scent of Peace is an easy reach type. You never know with me. It might end up on my shelf one day! 🤣 I wore Daisy Eau So Fresh today and it was fresh, fruity, light, and simple. Just what I needed! 👍
You should try because im free by gritti if you like candied fruits and tuberose.😊maybye your sample of gossip night was off cause that doesnt sound like anything people are getting or what i got.😊
Yes, I'm hoping my sample was an anomaly. 🥴 I'll try Because I'm Free in the future. Thank you! 💖
Love the video! 💜 The way you describe these frags are *spot on!* 😂
Hi Kerri! 💖 Thank you so much! 🥰
I absolutely love these P or P videos from you, they really help🤩🤩. I blind bought Panettone at the beginning of the year and I love it😍😍. I used to eat Panettone some years but stopped when I changed my lifestyle🤩🤩. I’m only buying spring and summer fragrances now even though we are in the dead of winter, I like to be prepared🤩🤩. Stay gorgeous🥰🥰
Hiiii Pinkie! 💖 I should NOT be eating Panettone but MAN is it delicious around the holidays! Whew! Glad you love it! Are you doing low carb living?
@@VeronicaSays
Yes I am since 2014🤩
@@pinkiemtengenya6744 🙌🙌🙌 Awesome! Good for you - you took the right path!
I wanted to say, I have Jaipur Chai and totally get that off vibe at the beginning. However, I combine this with one spray of Winter of ’99 from Kerosene. That has like a nutmeg/eggnog thing to it that marries so well with the great spices in Jaipur Chai -it is a wonderful around the holidays combo. Winter holiday, but unique winter holiday. Mmmm so good. Love the video!!
Thank you soooo much! 💖 I have Winter of 99 - appreciate the layering idea. I'm okay with a fragrance opening being "off" as long as it doesn't last a long time. Do you get a milky or creamy vibe from Jaipur Chai on its own?
@@VeronicaSays You know, the funny thing is I find it milky -I don't get coconut (which is cool bc I don't love coconut) - and tea like. Almost a dryer milk feeling. I like mixing it when I want a chai tea element to my scent that day. For me, it plays well with others and amps either a tea profile or a spicy profile, so I rarely wear it alone. I also find it is nice with Tea for Two from L'Artesan Prefumeur.
Good to know! Thank you! 💖
Oh no! This is definitely going to interrupt my no buy 😂 I have Vele from your previous video in my cart 🛒 and here we are now 😂
Girl! Vele is for YOU! It goes with your whole backyard vibe. Have you sampled it?
Hey Veronica 🙋🏾♀️, let's see what you got for us today...
Hiiiiii Latonya! 💖💖💖
i love Tropica not a beast mode fragrance but beautiful last about 8hrs on clothes and about 5 on skin.. and keep glazed i don't get what you do it's fun fragrance to wear in the summer longevity & sillage is Omazing..
Tropica was fun to sample! 💖 Glad Keep Glazed works for you. I know many people love it!
@@VeronicaSays yes it's nice, yeah i'm sorry keep glazed didn't for you.
Vicebomb gives medicinal cherry. It's a fall/winter.
I could see rocking it in the cold weather! 💖
Congratulations. keep put in the hard work. keep up your consistency..
Thank you 💖
Oh girl, I love this episode. Its nice to see what you think before I blind buy some fragrances. You have excellent taste my girl😎
Thank you so much, Wendy! 💖 Hope you're having a great weekend. 🥰

Hi Veronica!! Grew up eating Panettone and waiting for my decant to try it out!! Wearing Dulcis in Fundo today, staying indoors most of the day with freezing AC haha..very sweet but not powdery to my nose, super comforting! Great video, thanks for sharing your experience with hyped perfumes 💗
Thank youuuu! 💖🥰 ooohhhhh you make me want to revisit Dulcis in Fundo! How is longevity for you?
@@VeronicaSays It stays strong 5 hours, then more of a soft scent but I'm an under sprayer, so I can see it lasting up to 8 hours if I sprayed more, oh and on clothes lasts days :)
@MsChumelito thank you! 💖
I’m just getting started with the Carolina Herrera the confidential line. It’s everything to me!😍😍😍
#facts 🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖
Hi Veronica, I was definitely in the rabbit hole with Carolina Herrera Confidential fragrances. I have Amber Desire and recently added Stallion Leather. Yes, it is truly Leather. I ❤️ Tom Ford Soleil de Feu during the last Sephora sale. I enjoy “Is it full bottle worthy” Review. 👏🏾😍
@cynthiawilliams3029 thank you, Cynthia! Amber Desire is super good. And yes, the leather is lathering in Stallion Leather, FOR SURE!! 💖
Good to get another take on Panettone, since everyone just races about it. Thanks so much for all your content!
Hi Sarah! 🥰 Panettone is worth a sniff! Thank you so much! 💖
Awesome rundown and interesting takes, Veronica!!!💙💙💙I wasn’t too impressed with Jones Beach either 🤷🏻♀️
Thanks Joss! Jones Beach... could have been so beautiful but... nah. 😂
Giiirrrll...you are definitely are in Goddess mode today!
Awwww thank you Maria! 🫶🫶🫶🥰🥰🥰
Hey! I wanted to thank for mentioning O d'Azur a couple of videos ago, along with Delina la Rosée. I bought O d'Azur right away and loved it and then you tempted me with the Jomashop sale 😂 and I pulled the trigger on La Rosée, even though I am definitely not a fan of the original and think the Exclusif is just ok. Im not even a rose fan, or so I thought. But my nose is changing, and I'm having a citrus, aquatic, tea, and maybe rose moment. Anywho, thanks again. Sorry I posted it here, but I was too lazy to go back and finding which past video to post on 😅.
Hiii! Woohoo! So happy O d'Azur worked out and that you got La Rosée! Both so awesome for the heat of summer. 🥰🥰🥰 Thank you for sharing. Jomashop gets us ALLLLL! 😂😂😂
@VeronicaSays I live in Florida and they have been in constant rotation the past few weeks. Love them both. I totally trust your nose. Love that you are honest and your descriptions make sense to me, so that helps me pick the stuff I think will work for me. Love your channel, your videos on Saturday are part of my weekend routine 😅
@31kalixx thank you soooooo much! 🥰💖
Absolutely great video. Love your words of wisdom. Yes I said it!
Hi Pattie! 💖 Thank you soooo much! 🥰
Loved this Veronica! A lot of houses I've never heard of before. There were a couple that piqued my interest though - Daisy Eau So Intense and Isles Lontaines. I've been really into honey and clean/soapy fragrances lately. They both sound like something I'd love. Synthetic Jungle sounds like a mess - can't imagine wanting to smell like tomatoes and herbs lol. Thanks for trying these out and sharing your honest thoughts❣
Hi friend! 💖 Thank you! I enjoyed this round of samples! Have you tried Pure Honey by Kim Kardashian? It's like $13 and a soapy honey floral fragrance. A gem!
@@VeronicaSays Yessss! I'm pretty sure because of your influence. 😜 Love it from the atomizer and on paper. I haven't had a chance to wear it yet though - soon!
Great review and your description of fragrances often make me laugh😊
I love For your love by Mizensir. I saw Sharida’s review of Sweet Praline and did not think I wanted it and your review confirms that I prob will not like it.. though I may still smell it😊
Thank you so much! 💖 Yeah, as much as Sweet Praline sounds promising, I would say it's a pass unless you want something very subtle.
LVEB Iris Absolu sounds amazing!
Hi Raquel! 💖 Hope you get to sample it! 🥰
Me and Bonds... Argh 😪 I wanna love it but can't and I figured out its because of the musk. Me and must don't bang, at least not their musk.
Gonna check out Tom Ford.
Eye look ana nail color are lovely!
Hi! 💖 That's okay! I'm sure there are other houses that you vibe with. Thanks so much! 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Veronica.. Estée Lauder acquired Tom Ford and just wonder if Tom Ford’s fragrances have been tweaked in any form
Hi, I don't know, but I haven't heard anyone complaining about TF frags being reformulated (so hopefully not!).
I loved Soleil de Feu from the first spray. I thought the exact same thing about it being released in summer vs. Fall. I also tried Keep Glazed and I found it to be extremely offputting.
Hi Sarah! 💖 Sounds like we were aligned on these two! 🥰
Looking stunning my friend!! ❤ Falling face first into a loaf of panettone 😂😂😂
Thank you, Tammy! 💖🥰 Who doesn't want to smell like delicious bread! 😂
It's me again! Catching up!❤
Thanks for watching! 🥰🥰🥰
Hey Veronica, I don't know if I told you, already, if so I apologize... I received a sample of the new reformulated release of Euphoria EDT by Calvin Klein and, to my surprise, I love it. I usually get so disappointed when fragrances (especially lovely, good performers) are reformulated.
Well, this time, they aced it! The performance is wonderful and the fragrance is a really beautiful mix of sweet raspberries and vanilla with soft florals that blend perfectly and it's all resting on creamy cashmeran and I cannot get enough. It lasted at least 6 hours but I wasn't watching the clock so it could've been more. Have you tried this??
I want this one. I'm not really a "fruity floral" person and I don't even think that's what I'd call it. You've got to try it if you haven't. 💜
Hi! No I haven't tried it but I'll keep an eye open for it at Ulta. They usually carry the Euphoria line over here. Thanks for putting it on my radar! 👍👍👍
@@VeronicaSays I can't wait to hear your thoughts.
Oooo yesss Moon Carnival is on my list!😍😍😍I love it! I definitely can’t wait to get this one on my list!
Hello beautiful Adrienna! I think you'd love it! 💖🥰
So nice presentation of fragrances as always!
Thanks for the insight.
Hi Georgia! 💖 Thank you very much! 🥰
I have Amber Desire from CH, I really love it. It's very sweet and lux at the same time. I don't feel I need Grand Soir but I am curious about testing Material. I am hoping it is not redundant with Amber Desire...
Hi Raquel! 💖 Girl... you are going to make me hunt down a bottle of Amber Desire! I was trying NOT to buy it 😩 I don't think having Material is redundant. There is enough of a difference. 👍
Loving this eye look!
Thank you so much! 💖💖💖
Hey Veronica! Looking beautiful as always❤
Thank you sooooo much! 🥰💖
Hey Veronica, your makeup looks amazing and I love your top. Madera sounds really good and yes a good sale can change everything 😂
Thank you so much!!! 🥰🥰🥰 Yes, you know I'm here for the sales! 😂
Hi Veronica! Great video! 😀👏👏❤️ I agree with your analysis of Gritti… quite synthetic and vexing. Your pronunciation of Soleil de Feu is perfect😀 Agree about Marc Jacobs Daisy line, very nice and pretty (I own a few). Thank you for putting some cool & interesting new fragrances on my radar. 😀
Hi Rachel! 💖 Thank you! Yeah... Gritti. Sigh. Do you like any of them? I like Tutu Blanc and Chantilly. The Daisy line is really pleasant overall!
@@VeronicaSays 😀 That’s funny! Actually, Tutu & Chantilly are literally the only 2 I haven’t tried from the line 😂 (sometimes one is just unlucky?) 🤣 I’ll grab some samples for Luckyscent and check them out 🙏
@@RachelKNg😄 let me know your thoughts on them 🥰
Vilhelm parfumerie mango skin is just stunning
I didn't love that one personally but I can see how many do love it! Glad you're enjoying it! 💖💖💖
Lol really enjoyed your intro to Jaipur Chai 😂 so enjoyed listening to that
🤣🤣🤣 That opening was so rude. 😆
The Lavie est belle is lovely, I just can’t imagine a time I would want to smell that sweet. The bottle is nice though I might pick up a 30ml
Oh I love the sweetness! But I understand. The sweetness is not for everyone. Have you tried the Iris flanker?
Yes that’s the Iris flanker I am talking about being too sweet for comfort 😂. I moved on from the original La vies some years ago. I like Iris but I still found it too sweet, and giving nothing else. I’ll sample it again though before ruling it out
@@jusblack_thabi 👍👍👍💖💖💖
I'm just getting into la vie at 56 & all the avail flankers. Everyone is always bashing it as a whole. I love sweet & don't care if I smell the same as others. I wear fragrance for me. My fave is oui & I'm wondering if I need this one too. I think i will cave in cause it will look lovely with my others. 😊
I had high hopes for Synthetic Jungle as a green perfume. I quite like it but if you like Silences by Jacome I’d be really interested if you smelled them side by side.
I thought this is what Anne Filipo was going for. I wear Silences whereas Synthetic Jungle is a little miniature that is in my ‘perfume library’ and I like to smell it from time to time so I doubt I’ll need to replace my little bottle. Great video as always.
Hi Rebecca! 💖 I've never tried Silences but looked at it many many times! Thanks for sharing this association. 👍🥰
@@VeronicaSays it’s so good and so inexpensive. I think you would love it from other vintage perfumes you have mentioned you like.
@@rebeccadippyegg awesome thank you!
I’ve been anticipating fall fragrances too
Like, hard-core. Why are we never living in the moment? 🥴😩🤦♀️🤣
I didn’t like Gritti Siracusa either. However, Pomelo di Sorrento is really good!
I have a bottle of Tropica, I love it. Tropical but unique.
Hey Kat! I'd love to try Pomelo di Sorrento. I may add it to my next decant order! Thank you 💖🥰
BETWEEN MOON CARNIVAL & LOVE TUBEROSE, WHICH ONE WOULD YOU SAY YOU LIKE MORE?
I like them equally, but in different ways. Moon Carnival is more sexy and alluring whereas Love Tuberose is softer and easy going. Both are great!
These are my favorite videos from you!!!!❤❤
Thank you, Jasmine! 🥰💖
Hi, Veronica ❤ Was curious about Soleil De Feu & Gossip Night 🙏
Hi Sanne! 💖 Soleil de Feu - thumbs up! 👍

Jaipur Chai🤔I just had a chai bubble tea last week and now I can’t stop thinking about all things chai. This may be a sample I want to try.😊
Me too, Christie! It's my latest obsession 😂😂😂
@@VeronicaSays YES! 🙌
Hi Veronica, have you tried Pomelo Sorrento from Gritti ? It is so nice and I know you like a nice mint fragrance. Greetings from Germany 🤗
Hello Barbara in Germany 🇩🇪! I have not, but I will pick up a sample. I know that one has gotten good reviews. 🥰
Panettone leaned sooooo masculine on me 😅 I wasn’t expecting that. It’s nice but didn’t like it on me. May revisit my decant this fall.
No kidding? 😳😯
On me it just smells like raisin bread. Is that what real panatone smells like? Good fragrance but I couldn't imagine an occasion where I would want to smell like this & I'm the kind of person that buys coffee or blueberry muffin scents just on the off chance that I get invited to go to a restaurant for breakfast 🤣
Panettone does have similarity to raisin bread, yes, but has a more doughy smell and very slightly nutty. LMBO at your fragrance arsenal for the morning brunch date! 😄😄😄
@@VeronicaSays Oh, maybe I need to give my sample another try
Woooohoooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!! So here for this today!!!!! 🥳💜 I love Panettone!! Def one of my fav gourmands!!! 💙
Hi Joy! 💖 Happy Saturday! Enjoy! 🥰🫶

Keep Glazed didn’t work for me either. They dry down was off.
