My top 3 designer scents i can't live without are Valentino Donna Born in Roma, Burberry Her Elixir and YSL Black Opium. I also LOVE Chanel Chance eu Tendre too❤
Mine is a cheapie designer. Versace Bright Crystal..i live in Florida, and it shines in the extreme heat, the peony and mahogany cuts through the humidity and is a constant complement getter. It will always be in my collection. 😊❤
A few months ago I was out to dinner on vacation in Turks & Caicos and caught the most gorgeous scent. Eventually I figured out it was one of the waiters, and in his gorgeous Caribbean accent he said it was Tom Ford but couldn’t remember the name. I scoured the internet looking at notes and showed him a picture of Cafe Rose and he said “yes, that’s it!” Oh, he smelled divine. I bought a sample, knowing I would hate the way it smelled on me, but I love to sniff it and remember that fun moment.
Libre EDT is stunning. I only realized a while ago how beautiful the scent is. D&G's Devotion is also wonderful. It's hard to find something light and quite sweet for the summer that would please me. Libre EDT works in summer and I think in all seasons.
I also love several of the fragrances on this list! Chance Eau Tendre, Soleil Blanc and Hermes! I prefer the Le Jardin Sur Le Nil rather than Mediterranean ! The fresh fragrance category is also difficult for me but try the Acqua Fiorentina by Creed! I take this out every summer and it’s stunning!
Always love your video! ❤ Really trust your taste in perfume and nose! A suggestion for future video to do Best Musk perfumes...Hoping you'd review Pure Musc by Narciso R 😊
Gucci rush has been a constant repurchase since it came out. Used to steel it from my mother as a teen, and have had it in rotation for 20 years since. Tom ford is what tom ford does.
I adore Irresistible Fraiche by Givenchy. There’s something in the opening - pretty sure it’s the pink pepper - that I simply cannot get enough of. It settles into such a pretty, feminine scent. IMO, it’s similar to Chance Eau Tendre on the dry down. I own Chance Eau Tendre on your recommendation, of course. Love it! And your fragrance videos! Thank you for all of them! 💕
Definitely still love Le Jardin Sur Le Toit (nobody ever talks about that one) and also Eau d'Hadrien, my go-tos for many years before discovering niche! You look sizzlin' today! x
Hi Monika, I love your channel, thank you for your videos. I recently bought two Un Jardin - Sur Le Nil and A Cythere. I liked the Le Toit too but only can really buy two due to budget haha, and A Cythere won (Le Nil out of the question it's #1 for me 😁) but I love them all. You are right, Un Jardin line is like a dream, sometimes it's hard to tell others hahahahaha. I will finish one perfume bottle first (a rule I set myself) and might buy the Le Toit after 😊
Hello, MONICA this is Simone from Brazil, I happen to have Hermès’ jardin collection and this one in particular has been discontinued, Sorry. I would like to thank you for advising on granado Bossa perfume it is really close to Tom Ford , soleil Blanc. Granado has got very nice perfumes maybe you might like Brisa it has a spark lemon opening but a great Wooden base on the skin. Kind regards ❤
I just found your channel ans LOVE IT! SO, 3 in my collection I can't live w/out are: Valentino Donna Born in Roma, Burberry Her EDP and Versace Bright Crystal. I am wearing the Valentino today and I have been asked what was I wearing by a lot of people!
I adore all of the Libre line except l’absolu platine. My husband loves Prada paradoxe, so I wear that for him (I think I’ll personally enjoy it more in the spring/summer too). What are the thoughts on Donna born in Roma pink pp? I am not sure, but think I might have liked it better than just DBIR… discontinued now of course,so would maybe have to find.a dupe house version.
I’ve been curious about the Hermes one for a while! And I think instead of dupes I need to FINALLY get Soleil Blanc Edp!! I’ve spent money on dupes to save money but it would be smarter to save and but the original!! 💕 it’s literally the best best summer perfume And it’s sooo funny Poison has been my signature since HS!! 1988!! 😅 I have never bought hypnotic! I need to
I was watching the other day a video of your about perfums for spring, and all of them I was like "it's a no" without even know the smell. Brazil is so, so, so so so so hot, and our spring is hot too, last year we basically didn't have winter (and we had 35°C a few days), that is hard to find European brands/fragrances that we can use here. If you can, I hope some day you come here to spend some time and know Brazil ans our food and places etc, and finds out fragrances, our brands, and live that experience of trying to find a perfum to wear under 38°C.
I absolutely love Freshies, the Un Jardin line from Hermes has some amazing ones and they’re so unique. I also love Libre EDT and Chance Eau Tendre. I think since living in FL I just had no choice but to get into fresher scents lol 🌴
@@Elvira.Duda2010 I tested Minuit et Demi and to me they do not smell anything like each other. In fact after a couple of hours I could not smell it anymore. The opening is not as uplifting as well. I would say they are not even "cousins" LOL Regarding Penhaligons Constance, I can not say because I have not tried it! But I will... Thanks for the tip :)
I live in the US in Florida and struggle with finding fragrances for the heat and humidity because I'm not a fan of freshies. I have a few on your list but going to try the Hermes 😊
@@Melissa12175 Yeah, that’s kind of how it is with most freshies, unfortunately. You have to have constantly be reapplying. The only fresh fragrances that I know last in the high heat are tart fragrances, which tends to have rhubarb or litchi or Lemon in it.
Ohhh sooo many good ones on this list!! I love everything but flowerbomb and that’s only because I haven’t smelled it 🤭 all of the Armani Prives look sooo good and so out of my price range! But this one and the turquoise bottle? Omg on my wish list! If they stopped making poison I would die
OMG, I only recently discovered the FLOWERBOMB Orchid, smells very juicy to me almost ''sticky'' , dense, thick, with a bit of Barbie Doll sweetness, weirdly I really like it though very juicy sweet and young, superlasting, good projection too !
I save some money and want to make me a good present. But i don’t know which to buy from them. Which one is the better perfume? Which leaves a Beautiful scenttrail is very feminine and luxury? Parfums de marly: Oriana, La rosee or KIlian good girl gone bad OR memo marfa/ Sintra? I don’t know which one. I love White florals but hate green scents. I want a perfume that is remembar
Why not try Musc Noir Rose by Narcisso Rodriguez. Haven’t tried it myself but I have heard it leaves a magnetic magical trail. Ps: safe option is to try all these sents tester on your skin, walk around and see if you can still smell it on your skin after half an hour. You’ll figure out the opening and dry down too.
I don’t know,but I tried Dossier’s version. It wasn’t close enough for me. Sent it back. For now I am buying smaller decants of the original to enjoy in moderation 😊
The creaminess is hard to achieve in the dupes. I like Curcao Bay from Jacques Fath. It’s very similar but a bit more spicy. Not a dupe but sometimes there are great deals on it.
Two months ago , i went to sephora to buy la nuit de l'homme bleu électrique and the cashier gave me l homme le parfum instead(both have blueish bottles).I obviously didn't know at the time and I opened it ,so I ended up buying both 😂(with a slight discount)
Monika, i am also in the hunt of a Summer fragrance since I do not like most of them. I recently got the "Mojave Ghost" from Byredo and for some reason I think I can use it in the Summar (BTW Summers in Germany are not that hot!). Did you consider that one?

Hello Monica, which one is better Chanel chance eau tendre EDT or EDP?

I love Rodriguez ❤ Pure Musc, For Her EDT, Poudree and Rouge. The Best Designer-Parfumes.❤❤❤

I love Tom Ford fragrances❤
Cafe rose is beautiful❤

I am so glad that Hypnotic Poison is in your list yehey! I super love the EDT. Regards❤
Chloe Nomade, miss dior old edition, musk by Rodriguez, ellie saab parfum royale, zen by shiseido
I am very much into chypre. Any recommendations to sniff out;)?
Givenchy Hot Couture EDT is my designer favorite. ❤
You have made me fall back in love with fragrances again. Your channel is just the best! Big hug from a Norwegian in the UK :)
Definitely still love Le Jardin Sur Le Toit (nobody ever talks about that one) and also Eau d'Hadrien, my go-tos for many years before discovering niche! You look sizzlin' today! x
Lucky to have Libre edt and Hermes in my collection. I love both of them. And Chance Eau Tendre is on my wishlist 😊

Hi! I wws remember you today, because Granado released new fragrances. Some of them are limited until our mother's day (2° sunday of may).

Please, are you referring to the edt or edp? (Versace Bright Crystal)

Hello from Lithuania. Dear 11:17 Monica, whay do you prefer most Chanel Chance eau tendre EDT vs EDP?
Monika prefer edt :)
I prefer edp ;)
My "Magenta Tanzanite" was love at first sniff! If it got discontinued it would be devastating for me!
Me too!
Don't worry guys! Penhaligons Constance and Minuit et demi are quit similiar.😊
@@Elvira.Duda2010 I tested Minuit et Demi and to me they do not smell anything like each other. In fact after a couple of hours I could not smell it anymore. The opening is not as uplifting as well. I would say they are not even "cousins" LOL

I live in the US in Florida and struggle with finding fragrances for the heat and humidity because I'm not a fan of freshies. I have a few on your list but going to try the Hermes 😊
You should try the Guerlain Aqua Allegoria line or Arien, their fragrances are subtle surely they should be something in there for you, give it a try.
@@vivililly6887 I like some of them but haven't purchased because I have heard they do not last long.
@@Melissa12175 Yeah, that’s kind of how it is with most freshies, unfortunately. You have to have constantly be reapplying. The only fresh fragrances that I know last in the high heat are tart fragrances, which tends to have rhubarb or litchi or Lemon in it.
LV Pacific Chill is a perfect choice for such climate.
@@elenakolovou9350I'm going to sample that one!

Cocunut Fizz ❤😢😢😢😢😢 Bring it back,!!!!! 😢
Hi Monika, my salutes from Puerto Rico. You look spectacular. That outfit looks great on you.
If u would choose between chanel chance and born in roma as ur first purchase what would it be ?
Chanel is a bit more versatile
I would be so annoyed if Kenzo discontinues "Amour" i love,love it
can you please try michael malul sparkle? 💕
Is Hermes edt?
OMG, I only recently discovered the FLOWERBOMB Orchid, smells very juicy to me almost ''sticky'' , dense, thick, with a bit of Barbie Doll sweetness, weirdly I really like it though very juicy sweet and young, superlasting, good projection too !

Sintra or L interdit is a yummy tuberose
I love the La Rosee one. Oriana won't give you too much of a scent trail. Maybe you'd also like Woman in Gold from Kilian if you like white florals.
I think you would love Soleil Blanc as well it’s amazing
Why not try Musc Noir Rose by Narcisso Rodriguez. Haven’t tried it myself but I have heard it leaves a magnetic magical trail.
Ps: safe option is to try all these sents tester on your skin, walk around and see if you can still smell it on your skin after half an hour. You’ll figure out the opening and dry down too.
@@aymenarifmalik thanks. I have this scent but it bored me Now. I want a white floral …
Is there an amazing dupe for soleil blanc??
I don’t know,but I tried Dossier’s version. It wasn’t close enough for me. Sent it back. For now I am buying smaller decants of the original to enjoy in moderation 😊

@@MonCioch yes I think this is literally one where a dupe doesn’t suffice! It will def be my next $$ purchase ha
@@carlyeslinger ha I have that on my dresser….its ok Ehh but I agree. I mix the dossier with the Jennifer Anniston Chapt 1. It gets a bit closer
Yes! It’s called Where Sun Never Sets by The DUA Brand. It’s an excellent dupe, and it lasts much longer than the original. Beautiful summer scent.
Two months ago , i went to sephora to buy la nuit de l'homme bleu électrique and the cashier gave me l homme le parfum instead(both have blueish bottles).I obviously didn't know at the time and I opened it ,so I ended up buying both 😂(with a slight discount)
My designer scents are coco Mademoiselle,Armani si, Flowerbomb and the new silver y’all libre.
Monika, i am also in the hunt of a Summer fragrance since I do not like most of them. I recently got the "Mojave Ghost" from Byredo and for some reason I think I can use it in the Summar (BTW Summers in Germany are not that hot!). Did you consider that one?
I really like that one. It’s one of those light freshies that are a bit different than most 😊
I love Un jardin line and are unisex 🤍
