    Also p.s. Just watched several videos on "over spraying". I was simultaneously shocked and fascinated at the amount of perfume some ladies wear. It was so surprising and makes me wonder if I am doing it all wrong. I wouldn't say I am stingy with the spritzes but after seeing some of the videos, I guess I am! I would love a video on your "spritz routine". Thanks again!

    My most recent blind buy was recently over Easter I finally got my hands on a bottle of In Bloom by Avon/ Reese Witherspoon. I was not disappointed! The bottle is very pretty and the perfume is REALLY nice. It is a Spring/Summer fragrance very soft magnolia, tea, peach fragrance. Can really smell the tea, magnolia and peach. Wish it wasn’t discontinued. In my opinion this is better than Elizabeth Arden White Tea also collaboration with RW. Thanks for a very enjoyable video - as usual:)

    I just somehow happened upon your channel, and I'm so glad I did! I LURVE Aubusson fragrances, my gosh. I don't think I've ever tried a bad one! A company called Palm Beach Beaute seems to have acquired them, and I am loving being able to find them at such incredible prices. Desirade is my great favorite- it's like Joop Femme raised to glory. Kind of reminds me of the original Boucheron, too :)

    Well another fantastic drop on your Channel! I will say one I definitely know very well is Banana Republic and I've had several of their fragrances from Neroli Woods to Cherry Amber and I will say my favorite so far is Oud Mosaic and that one is a real stunner its Oud done right in my opinion nothing abrasive or stinky but has fairly good longevity and siliage is def more than acceptable , a real beauty... I did pick up one for my daughter by Ellen Tracy called Pretty Petals in the bright yellow box w/ hippie flowers on it haha!! and after researching it a little bit in the comments on Fragrantica I found that if you can locate the made in the USA bottled in China you will have a pretty good dupe for Dior Miss Cherie and good grief for $15 I picked up a gift set with shower gel, lotion and a 3 oz bottle of perfume so that was amazing!!! ..so just goes to show fragrances don't have to cost an arm and a leg to smell good just keep in perspective what they are and enjoy them! Thanks Sis for giving me and everybody else our fix lol and waiting on the next noti bell!! ! Take care!!

    I have done a TON of blind buying lately ugh, I can’t seem to stop myself lol. Ones that I’ve had incredibly high expectations are Guerlain Cologne which I was on the hunt forever.. but ended up disappointed as well as Bond No 9 Eau de Noho which I could’ve swore I would fall Inlove with but didn’t
    :( also a few other disappointments too but the ones that I ended up loving from recent blind buys are Elizabeth Arden White tea, 4711 blood orange and basil, Anna Sui Romantica, Oscar dela Renta Flor! ❤️

    I have been buying no perfume lately in order to use what I have. I have used up several bottles.....it is amazing how fast it goes when you concentrate. I broke the other day at sephora with my daughter and bought an Atelier Cologne Perfume Stories sampler set. I had wanted to try Pacific Lime and went to buy the roller ball, then saw this set with the lime and 6 other samples for a couple dollars less! So, I bought it.
    I have a couple of those OP scents and have not used them yet. (which is why i am buying nothing due to having some i haven't even used yet.)

    You really found some nice buys!! The Rebecca Minkoff sounds nice, I love her handbags, she has designs similar to the classic Chanel bag, but without the big price tag.The Banana Republic fragrances sound like a good go to perfumes. I have really been trying to not buy fragrances, but I did by a travel size of Killians Love Dont be Shy, had to try it, and now see why its so popular. I also bought the fragrance, Skin, by Clean, and I like it, its good for bedtime, or when your not feeling well. Love your videos, I always look forward to them. Happy Easter!!!

    Great review!! I too am a sucker for Tobacco scents! I just sampled DSH Perfumes and really like the smoky ones: Axis Mundi & Adrenaline and Scorched Earth . Only issue I have with them is longevity and scent bubble. Their smell is soooo amazing yet it is so close to the skin after an hour 😕 I find the best are middle eastern scents. My faves are Midnight Oud by Ard Al ??? (Forgot the whole name and the bottle is upstairs) & Velvet Oud by Lataffa. They are INCREDIBLE!!! And LAST LAST LAST...both under $50 when I bought them.

No shame in that. 😊 I have been sorting my fragrances lately and realizing that the majority of them are amber floral, floral fruity, amber vanilla, Woody floral musk. And several of my purchases have been because of your info. Would you consider doing a video on groups of perfumes? ... maybe make it a tag Video? I just found it so enlightening to realize that even in my 20's I have been drawn to these types of scents. I guess I'm an amber lover. Lol
    Thanks for your informative and fun videos.
