I'm with you, Veronica! There's nothing wrong with "basic" fragrances. It was 65 degrees yesterday and I rocked J'adore for the first time in a long time and got compliments everywhere I went (which was only 3 places but still.) People LOVE a basic, do it all fragrance. 💗🌸🐰 (Happy Easter, love! 🤟🏻)
Totally agree. Sometimes basic fragrances are necessary- not everyday one is in the mood for overly complex sligthly excentric olfactive experiences- the go to "basics" that I've been using since March because of the island heat are DKNY Fresh Blossom and Elizabeth Arden's White Tea.
Basic is back in my book! 😊 I repurchased Clean's Simply Clean. I was craving this easy-reach, white T-shirt scent and it takes me back to 2008/2009. I find "simpler" scents get absorbed differently and I love the little bit of shine they also add to your skin. But it’s not for everyone. I used to wear the older Clean perfumes like Warm Cotton, Rain, etc. and remember the Fresh Sake perfume sold at Sephora?! So good.
Hi Veronica! Biggest surprise for me this month (and BEST blind purchase) was Valentino’s Stravaganza. Absolutely fell in love with this fragrance and the bottle design. It was also my most worn fragrance this month. Two other discoveries for me this month were recommended by you and I am so happy I trusted your take on these: La Vie Est Belle Iris Absolu and Amouage Lineage for women. Lush Super Milk has that same Lira profile and it is better IMO. Great categories and shares this month!
Oooohhhh! Okay I am super curious to try Stravaganza! Glad you're loving it. I'm excited that LVEB Iris Absolu and Lineage worked for you! YAY! Thank you for letting me know! 🎉🎉🎉
First off, you look fantastic! Second, I have finished two bottles of Prada Candy. Love it. I'm now using Prada Kiss. I think it's a fresh white floral. It's just as good. I wore the OG Olympea mixed with a Ted Lapidus Alien dupe. It was so nice.
Veronica, there’s a great artisanal perfumer (also musician but we talk perfume here) her name is Esthero and she makes beautiful oils and sprays. They are affordable and long lasting. The one I think you would like is Smells like Bang. It’s a casual, every day, clean delicious “grown up” cotton candy musk. 💜 I mention it because you mentioned the easy going simple fragrances coming back and I couldn’t help sharing it! 😊
✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴ You were right ... from fragrantica ... "The original intention of Jul et Mad's Stilettos on Lex is to embody an elegant beauty in stilettos, walking along Lexington Avenue in New York and turning heads. The tapping of her heels, the scent of her perfume, the spell of her beauty - all this was meant to be reflected in Stilettos on Lex. " I, too, am going back to some less expensive basics. For example I just bought Elizabeth Arden Green Tea & Lavender, unsniffed. It will be fine. Also unsniffed ... Yardley Honeysuckle, JHAG Musc Invisible (jasmin & musk, say no more), Jimmy Choo Florale, ES White Tea Body Cream, CK B ... you get the idea. It's gourmand season in Nicheland and that just doesn't interest me. Plus, for many of us, the cost of fragrance has gone mad. gotta eat, ya know? WILL be getting Daisy Wild. Enjoy the OG, might pick it up, too ... have had many samples o'er the years. Also on the List and a fabulous skin scent ... ELDO You Or Someone Like You. Sampled it the other day and wow, is that ever a "me" scent. take care.
Girl, YES! Fragrance costs continue to go up and up. Decisions must be made! We can't buy them all. Glad you are enjoying your simple frags! There is beauty is simplicity!! And I can totally picture a very preppy and pretty woman in stilletos on Lexington in that fragrance! 😊😊😊
Fantastic list Veronica ❤. Soo many beautiful fragrances. Thank you for sharing your passion 🌟⭐️🌟⭐️. Thanks to ChiChi every time I see Lira I think of Johnny Bravo😂😂. That entire line. I have 5 of them! But you always put me on to different gems out there!!
I adore NY Sparkle! ⭐⭐ I love Daisy Wild! 🌼 I wasn't sold on Daisy Intense. But, the OG Daisy is like nostalgia in a bottle. Most of my fragrances this month fell into the softer skin-scent category: Le Labo Vanille 44, Cacharel Noa, and Masque Milano Madeleine.
The first time I tried Bal d'Afrique,, I didn't care for it and put the sample away. Probably 2 years later, I retried it and really liked it..I ended up buying a bottle
I found mat; by Masaki Matsushima for relatively inexpensive and I'm enjoying how simple and effortless it smells. very much a throwback with the bottle. It is definitely Spring appropriate. I got a lovely compliment from a stranger.
Prada candy is so unique to me. Was my signature for years. I went through so many bottles. Its such a soft feminine sweet perfume. It got me so many compliments. Its like a warm cozy sweater. A warm comforting hug.
No ma'am we haven't forgotten Olympea! I was hoping no one else would say anything so the price will come down! 😆😆 Yes, ma'am I love the salty Olympea and also the sweet Intense - because I'm Southern and that's how we do. Peanuts in the coke bottle - and am planning on trying out some of the flankers as well. 🤗
I completely agree with you about Contralto. I thought I would it more than Bal D'Afrique because there wasn't a plum note. It's beautiful fragrance that I don't like.
Hi Veronica I am definately a fan, can't wait to try House of Sillage! and some of your other recommendations. The only recommendations I can think of for you is try Black Datura from Miller Harris, its a very beautiful and unique and alluring scent and Hydra Figue, its so different and pretty and sweet. Well I agree about Santal Basmati its my favorite rice scent! That is all for now! Looking forward to seeing your next videos!
My sister loves classic Prada Candy! In fact I went with her to purchase it at Bloomingdale's the year it came out. Very pretty well-rounded fragrance!
Erba Gold just sounds sooo up my alley. I love Erba Pura. I mostly enjoyed Boss The Scent For Her Magnetic and Burberry Goddess during the month of March.
I appreciate referencing an oldie like Prada Candy. I never had the OG but bought Prada Candy Kiss because I read it was a musky scent. I always ignored the OG Prada Candy in fear of it being too sweet. Here I go.....add to cart. Thanks Veronica 😅
I have a sample of Kate Spades Sparkle and I LOVE it. It's really beautiful and I never would have known about it if not for that sample. It's perfect for Spring!
Great video! I LOL'ed about the wet toilet paper, when we were kids, we would take the ink tube out of the pen body and use the empty pen body as a pea shooter and shoot damp, rolled paper at the bell on the wall when teachers turned their backs to write on the board! xx
Hey Veronica! Happy Easter! It’s that time again for the fragrance awards! I haven’t smelled Prada Candy in years and I remember loving it! I need to bring it back into my collection
Wearing Fire at Will today! It’s amazing! I had to get a backup bottle! Obsessed. And. WHY did you have to put Whispers of Truth in my spirit?! It’s 50% off today.
🌟 ⭐️ ✨ Happy Easter Veronica! Not wet toilet paper tho. 😂😂 Eau Papier is definitely unique. Great video! I love this series you created. Have a great weekend.
✨ ⭐️ I love the longer videos. I am so happy to have discovered you as this new fragrance obsession of mine has been such a fun new thing for me to discover. You got me very interested in Prada Candy. The name itself always turned me off from sniffing it but your description has me wondering if this will fill my need to find a longer lasting and projecting Missing Persons - my favorite your skin but better scent.
I love Kalahari! A hidden gem indeed. And Santal Basmati is a treasured love for me as well so I’ll forgive you for not loving L’eau Papier 😆😂 Hope you had a wonderful Easter ✝️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
At 39:30 Hi! Thank you for the shout-out ❤ I'm just now seeing this part of the video as I had a few things to do today so I couldn't watch the whole thing until now. 😊
Happy Sunday! Inspired to try Prada Candy! 😊 I remember Laura Ashley dresses, wore one for my high school graduation in the early 90s here in Norway 😄🌸Very much looking forward to the skin scent, musk and iris videos! Yay! Hope you are having good holidays❤
Happy Easter Veronica!!🐰🐣💐🐥🐇🥚 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been interested in some of the Prada Candy fragrances. I think I have one of them coming from my FragranceNet subscription. I still love Lira, but it’s pretty new to me. I love the smell of rice cooking, especially basmati and jasmine. I’ve really been interested in that Dyptique fragrance. I had pickled cabinets in one of the places I lived 😂😂😂 I love My Way Intense. 😻 You look exceptionally beautiful today!🤩🤩 Have a wonderful day!❤🥰😘❤
Thank you so much, Leah! 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Happy Easter ✝️ The pickled cabinet craze was a whole thing, wasn't it? I really do enjoy Lira. My comment was more about how folks gush over it. I wonder what you will think of L'eau Papier? Let me know if you try it - would love to hear your thoughts. 👍👍👍
I was clutching my pearls when you talked about L'eau Papier Veronica 😱 I wasn't sure on first smelling it but later fell in love and it's on my fragrance wish list. Think I'll have to test it again if I do decide to buy it though, just to check I don't get damp toilet paper now you've put that (olfactory) picture in my head 😂 Have a lovely weekend 💖
🌟🌟🌟 I love Fire at Will, too - sooo good! I have a sample of Erba Gold on the way and am excited to try it! I remember Laura Ashley! I had a few of their dresses as a kid. LOL
⭐️⭐️Hellooo and Happy Easter 🐣. I’m going to have to try Erba Gold on my skin⭐️I have a sample but on paper 😳for me.⭐️I totally agree how you mentioned about scents “that it doesn’t make you feel like your best self” not that it’s bad it just doesn’t resonate somehow⭐️Perfect example is the Bal D’Afrique⭐️I adore it and will try the Sospiro Contralto to see if I also get similarity(alas no samples here to try, will have to source somewhere⭐️I liken perfume to earrings, “you” have to love it as they can finish off a look or make you uncomfortable🥰⭐️Have a beautiful day ⭐️🐣💛💚🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺💛💚🐣⭐️
Hiiii Stani! 💖 Yes, what a great way to think about perfume. The "earrings" have to feel like "you" to finish off the look. Perfect!!! I'll remember that way of describing the role and fit of fragrance.
I agree about the Kate Spade line being great for every day. I enjoy Sparkle and Bloom, but my fave is Walk on Air, which is discontinued, but still available cheap from Jomashop, Nordstrom Rack, etc. I do love the new bottles.
Yes! I have three vintage and two modern Lily Pulitzer dresses! Love them!💛💚💙💜 I love this series so so much, as you know! So many discoveries. Happy Easter and Spring, Veronica!
Hi Veronica! Now, you definitely had my attention when you said that Contralto is said to smell like Bal d’Afrique 😁 I’m one of those people who swear by Bal d’Afrique, so I definitely need to give this one a try. Steamed Rainbow sounds intriguing too. Thank you!
You should definitely try Naomi Campbell's pret a Porter! I wear the toilette and it lasts for hours. Very cheap on fragrancenet , but very high quality perfume. Been wearing it all march! Fruitchouli in the best ways.. but it hits all the spots!
So glad you are enjoying DSD Steamed Rainbow! Between you and others on youtube - I'm convinced to get me a bottle! Loved this review - and I have Olympea Legend on my Fall to-buy list!
Watching from Monday evening in NZ. Early autumn and we have the same temperature fluctuations. Happy Easter! Today I wore Iris Celadon and this evening Blanche Bête - now starting to crave the darker, woodier and more vanillic beauties. As always a great watch and so many new to me scents to try and get my nose on. I have a decant of Erba Gold coming, along with Carioca Heart, Bianco Latte, Cappadocia (Memo) and Blouse (YSL)…. I’m just happy my low buy and declutter year is going well. I’ve sold over 80 bottles and thinning my sample library. Only buying things I love and sampling less and buying much slower. But I love watching your monthly recaps ❤️❤️
Hi Susannah! 💖 A good pruning back of the fragrance collection (or any collection) is a wonderful thing. I'm interested in trying Carioca Heart and Cappadocia also as well as a few other new fragrances on the market. Enjoy the "cool" weather fragrances that will shine as you get further into your fall season. 🥰
Prada Candy is great!! my teenage daughter loves it too. I adore Chantecaille Frangipane, Vicky Tiel Ethere, Olfactive Studio Iris Shot, Amouage Guidance, and Noteworthy N866💯
I loved Prada Candy. It still deserves love! Ledda Orris 22 was my favorite this month! I spray it in the air and I walk through it so it hovers over me. Victoria’s Secret Bare Rose also made the March lineup. I’m on my 2nd bottle of original Bare. Love Edp, also from Victoria's Secret, is always in rotation! It is an uncomplicated + easy reach delicious fragrance. I go heavy with it because it's not long-lasting. Lastly I wore Vilhelm Moon Carnival and Burberry Goddess a ton this month! ⭐🌟🌠
@@VeronicaSays she is someone who performs in my local bar (thus I can smell her) so you wouldn’t have heard of her. But she can do back flips in 6 inch heels!
Your channel got me back into Florals 💐🌺🙏 My March wears included Carolina Herrera Good Girl Blush, Carolina Herrera by Carolina Herrera (the old school white floral bomb), Ormonde Jayne Levant, Abaton Chinotto Gourmand, and Xerjoff Nero 70.
⭐⭐⭐⭐Happy Easter! Just FYI, HOS Whispers of Truth only comes in that limited edition cupcake. And interestingly, I've heard it compared by more than one person to BR540. I'm also down with those "basic" fragrances, as really all we're talking about is mass appealing, and what's wrong with that. My SOTD is Devotion, which is one of the fragrances that gives Lira a run for it's money in my collection.
🌟🌟🌟🌟 Happy Easter! ✝️ Oh goodness, I think you are right! I must have imagined seeing Whispers of Truth in another bottle 😬 I don't get a BR540 vibe from it AT ALL! So interesting. Do you? Devotion is gorgeous!
Quality and value for money can be found in a lot of classics. Given the crazy cost of a lot of new perfume I find myself mixing purchases. For every Dior New Look or DS & Durga Wear at Maximum Volume there is also a White Linen. Also looking at classic Pharmacy fragrances like Granado.
Happy Easter, Veronica! I am happy to see a long video today! I really love that new Daisy bottle and I really don’t like the others. I think it was so clever to make it look like flowers in a vase. Now I need to try the fragrance. My Way Nectar sounds lovely too. I was a teen in the 70’s and I was into all things Laura Ashley! I went to their store in Seattle and bought a pattern and fabric, and it was the cutest dress I have ever worn. It wasn’t one of the long frilly ones, but more simple and darling! Wish I still had it, and could fit into it😄I have never smelled Prada Candy😳 I had better catch up! Thank you for the nice long video!
Thank you so much, Karen! 💖 Yes that Daisy Wild bottle is quite clever! Oh I can see why Laura Ashley was THE designer to wear back in the day. It totally fit the preppy vibes of the time and the outfits were PRETTY!!! 🥰🥰🥰
My favorites from March were... Krigler Mediterranean Peach 15 Burberry High Tea Victoria's Secret Bare Rose Lancome La Vie Est Belle Rose Extraordinaire Dior J'adore Parfum d'Eau Joy by Dior Intense Byredo Sundazed
I fell in love with Lucrethia from a sample that gave me the deepest, best pear, but when I got a full bottle the coffee comes through stronger for me. Still a scent I enjoy a lot, but one that varied a lot for me from sample to full bottle
@@VeronicaSays when you described the fruity shampoo smell I was confused 🤔 at first but then I remembered that change and it completely made sense. I've let my big bottle macerate hoping that pear I loved at first sniff will come back but nope lol seems like it's just something they tease you with in the samples
Bringing basic back! I love that. 💙 Prada Candy is fantastic. March Winners for me were Amouage Lineage, Caswell Massey Elixir of Love, and Rosendo Mateu Nº 5.
Laura Ashley dresses, yess. They had fragrances too. *n,818* by *Noteworthy* is my favorite fragrance right now. I bought a sample set and n,818 just captured my soul🍃🍏x I like Prada Candy, but i was more of a Candy Night girl🌃. My Way Nectar is so good people are trippin🤦♀👀⭐⭐⭐
🌟🌟🌟🌟 Yes, My Way Nectar is really lovely! Thank you for introducing Noteworthy. I hadn't heard of this brand and am always interested in learning about new ones. 👍👍👍
When you were talking about the special occasions to wear Wirtanen I thought you said "affair". I thought you snuck that one in nicely.🤣I'm guessing that was "a fair", lol Anyhoo...it's nice to see someone talk about Prada Candy. It was one of the first I bought when I really started expanding my fragrance collection. Even with all the beautiful and interesting niche perfumes that have made their way into my collection, Prada Candy is still one of my favorites.
I love the in-depth take on your fragrance experience but that French Defense I'm still on the fence about. It didn't give for me during fall and winter, so high hopes for spring and summer ⭐️
New sub here and new to parfums. I've watched several YT channels and find myself returning to yours. For me, your descriptions are the most helpful. Thank you. I am quickly learning this could become an obsession...
Happy Easter to my fragrance friends! 🐰✝️🐣🥚🌟
Happy Easter 🐣 Veronica
Happy Easter, Veronica!! 🌸
Happy Easter🐣
Happy Easter!!
Happy Easter 💐💐💐
I'm with you, Veronica! There's nothing wrong with "basic" fragrances.
It was 65 degrees yesterday and I rocked J'adore for the first time in a long time and got compliments everywhere I went (which was only 3 places but still.) People LOVE a basic, do it all fragrance. 💗🌸🐰
(Happy Easter, love! 🤟🏻)
Yes they do! 3 compliments in one day is epic, in my book 👍👍👍 Happy Easter! ✝️
Yes! A classic!
Totally agree. Sometimes basic fragrances are necessary- not everyday one is in the mood for overly complex sligthly excentric olfactive experiences- the go to "basics" that I've been using since March because of the island heat are DKNY Fresh Blossom and Elizabeth Arden's White Tea.
Exactly! Those basics are STAPLES! 🎉
Good morning! Had to tune while I get ready for Easter service.
Hi Santa! Happy Easter! 🌟
Basic is back in my book! 😊 I repurchased Clean's Simply Clean. I was craving this easy-reach, white T-shirt scent and it takes me back to 2008/2009. I find "simpler" scents get absorbed differently and I love the little bit of shine they also add to your skin. But it’s not for everyone. I used to wear the older Clean perfumes like Warm Cotton, Rain, etc. and remember the Fresh Sake perfume sold at Sephora?! So good.
Yes! Basic is beautiful too! 💖🥰 I never tried Fresh Sake (that I remember?). But yes, those Clean laundry scents were all the rage at one point!
The clean line used to rock my world✨
Missed your awards this month as I was away but enjoyed them tremendously when I got back! ❤
Awww thank you KINDLY, Mrs. Cook! 💖💖💖

Thank you so much! I see that Jomashop has the whole line on deep discount. 🥰🌟
Hi Veronica! Happy Easter to you and your family. I couldn't click on fast enough. I love your fragrance rewards videos❤

It's gourmand season in Nicheland and that just doesn't interest me.
Plus, for many of us, the cost of fragrance has gone mad. gotta eat, ya know?
WILL be getting Daisy Wild. Enjoy the OG, might pick it up, too ... have had many samples o'er the years.
Also on the List and a fabulous skin scent ... ELDO You Or Someone Like You. Sampled it the other day and wow, is that ever a "me" scent.
take care.

Aw thank you Shenetta! 💖 Johnny Bravo? What???? What's the connection?
@@VeronicaSays the bottle looks like Johnny Bravo silhouette. The 90's cartoon character.
@@ShenettaM. 😂😂😂
I adore NY Sparkle! ⭐⭐
I love Daisy Wild! 🌼 I wasn't sold on Daisy Intense. But, the OG Daisy is like nostalgia in a bottle.
Most of my fragrances this month fell into the softer skin-scent category: Le Labo Vanille 44, Cacharel Noa, and Masque Milano Madeleine.
Hooray for Sparkle and Wild! 🌟🌟🌟🥰🥰🥰 Original Daisy is a queen. Period. People can hate on original Daisy but I think it's lovely.
The first time I tried Bal d'Afrique,, I didn't care for it and put the sample away. Probably 2 years later, I retried it and really liked it..I ended up buying a bottle
I'm hoping something similar will happen with Contralto and it will "click" with me as I wear it more. 👍👍👍
I found mat; by Masaki Matsushima for relatively inexpensive and I'm enjoying how simple and effortless it smells. very much a throwback with the bottle. It is definitely Spring appropriate. I got a lovely compliment from a stranger.
I've tried that one! Yes, so pretty and fresh for spring! Great choice. 💖💖💖
The Xerjoff bottles are so beautiful 😍
They really are! I love looking at them.
Prada candy is so unique to me. Was my signature for years. I went through so many bottles. Its such a soft feminine sweet perfume. It got me so many compliments. Its like a warm cozy sweater. A warm comforting hug.
Oh I could totally see it being a signature scent for someone! It's quite lovely. 🥰🥰🥰
the pear definitely intrigues me about my way nectar but, i’m trying not to go crazy and blind buy too much 🤣🤣
I know the feeling, Alexis! I want to try everything and there's just not enough time and money to grab them all! 😩
No ma'am we haven't forgotten Olympea! I was hoping no one else would say anything so the price will come down! 😆😆 Yes, ma'am I love the salty Olympea and also the sweet Intense - because I'm Southern and that's how we do. Peanuts in the coke bottle - and am planning on trying out some of the flankers as well. 🤗
Okay please tell me more about the peanuts in coke. Like... you just drop the salty peanuts in the drink?
Winding down with my girl 🍵!!! Love these perfume award ceremonies. Watching cuz 💛
Hello gorgeous! 💖💖💖
I completely agree with you about Contralto. I thought I would it more than Bal D'Afrique because there wasn't a plum note. It's beautiful fragrance that I don't like.
Isn't it weird how that can be the case? I love and hate fragrances for that! 😂😂😂
Hi Veronica I am definately a fan, can't wait to try House of Sillage! and some of your other recommendations. The only recommendations I can think of for you is try Black Datura from Miller Harris, its a very beautiful and unique and alluring scent and Hydra Figue, its so different and pretty and sweet. Well I agree about Santal Basmati its my favorite rice scent! That is all for now! Looking forward to seeing your next videos!

My sister loves classic Prada Candy! In fact I went with her to purchase it at Bloomingdale's the year it came out. Very pretty well-rounded fragrance!
Yes! A simple and subtle beauty! 💖💖💖
French defense omg… yes. Spectacular is definitely how I feel about it too.
Yes, ma'am! If you know, you KNOW! 🎉🎉🎉
Erba Gold just sounds sooo up my alley. I love Erba Pura. I mostly enjoyed Boss The Scent For Her Magnetic and Burberry Goddess during the month of March.
If you like Erba Pura you'll most likely love Erba Gold! 👍👍👍
Your memory is incredible 😂 I had so many Lilly dresses and I loved them 💖
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
They are beautiful and so colorful! 💖💖💖 I remember images but can't remember names to save my life 😆 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Oh that pinkish wood color. We had a super crappy rental once that had those cabinets. Haha!
Ha! The memories!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I appreciate referencing an oldie like Prada Candy. I never had the OG but bought Prada Candy Kiss because I read it was a musky scent. I always ignored the OG Prada Candy in fear of it being too sweet. Here I go.....add to cart. Thanks Veronica 😅
The oldies need love, too! Prada Candy does have some sweetness but it's not a candy bomb or anything. I find it to be subtle. 👍👍👍
I'm OBSESSED with prada candy kiss!!!
I have a sample of Kate Spades Sparkle and I LOVE it. It's really beautiful and I never would have known about it if not for that sample. It's perfect for Spring!
Sparkle is ab AMAZING little gem! So girly and sweet! Love it.
Great video! I LOL'ed about the wet toilet paper, when we were kids, we would take the ink tube out of the pen body and use the empty pen body as a pea shooter and shoot damp, rolled paper at the bell on the wall when teachers turned their backs to write on the board! xx
Oh my goodness! My friends used to do things like that. Those pen barrels came in handy 🤣
Happy Easter! You can never go wrong with Prada Candy, it’s what started my fragrance addiction and is perfection to me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Happy Easter ✝️ Yesss! Long live Prada Candy! 🎉🌟🌟🌟
Hey Veronica! Happy Easter! It’s that time again for the fragrance awards! I haven’t smelled Prada Candy in years and I remember loving it! I need to bring it back into my collection
Happy Easter Liz! ✝️🌟🐰 Prada Candy is just so easy going!
Wearing Fire at Will today! It’s amazing! I had to get a backup bottle! Obsessed. And. WHY did you have to put Whispers of Truth in my spirit?! It’s 50% off today.
My apology to your wallet! Those House of Sillage sales steal my entire soul 🤣 Fire At Will is so good. 💯
@@VeronicaSays a part of me wants to wait to see if they will reduce it further……
I've seen it as low as 65% off. 👍👍👍
🌟 ⭐️ ✨ Happy Easter Veronica! Not wet toilet paper tho. 😂😂 Eau Papier is definitely unique. Great video! I love this series you created. Have a great weekend.
Thank you so much! 🌟💖 I mean, wet toilet paper could smell appealing in a soggy woody type of way, right? 😆
✨⭐💫 Oh my, Whispers of Truth really sounds nice!
🌟🌟🌟 I really enjoy it!

🌟🌟🌟 Hi! Thank you so much and welcome to the channel. I've never tried Missing Persons. Prada Candy is soft but noticeable on skin in my experience.
I love Kalahari! A hidden gem indeed. And Santal Basmati is a treasured love for me as well so I’ll forgive you for not loving L’eau Papier 😆😂
Hope you had a wonderful Easter ✝️

Haha! L'eau Papier is one I love for all of YOU! It was fun to try it and I'll probably finish the bottle. Happy Easter! ✝️🌸🌟

I’ve been interested in some of the Prada Candy fragrances. I think I have one of them coming from my FragranceNet subscription.
I still love Lira, but it’s pretty new to me.
I love the smell of rice cooking, especially basmati and jasmine.
I’ve really been interested in that Dyptique fragrance.
I had pickled cabinets in one of the places I lived 😂😂😂

Dying to smell "Bloom." Kate Spade's "Walk on Air" is a go-to for me, though it does not last on my skin. I have to overspray like crazy.
Yes, I've seen that in the Walk on Air reviews. Gives a whole new meaning to the "Air" part, I suppose! 😬
I was clutching my pearls when you talked about L'eau Papier Veronica 😱 I wasn't sure on first smelling it but later fell in love and it's on my fragrance wish list. Think I'll have to test it again if I do decide to buy it though, just to check I don't get damp toilet paper now you've put that (olfactory) picture in my head 😂 Have a lovely weekend 💖
Same. I own L'eau Papier and I love it! I dont get any wet toilet paper 😂.
I'm so sorry I put that olfactory image in your mind! LMBO! I'm sure it smells amazing on you! Rock that fragrance, girl! 💖💖💖
That's good to hear! It's such a pretty fragrance 😊@@AmiAbroad
@@VeronicaSaysno worries Veronica. I'll certainly do my best to rock L'eau Papier 💖
🌟🌟🌟
I love Fire at Will, too - sooo good! I have a sample of Erba Gold on the way and am excited to try it!
I remember Laura Ashley! I had a few of their dresses as a kid. LOL
🌟🌟🌟🌟 Hope you enjoy Erba Gold! And long live Laura Ashley! 😊
⭐️⭐️Hellooo and Happy Easter 🐣. I’m going to have to try Erba Gold on my skin⭐️I have a sample but on paper 😳for me.⭐️I totally agree how you mentioned about scents “that it doesn’t make you feel like your best self” not that it’s bad it just doesn’t resonate somehow⭐️Perfect example is the Bal D’Afrique⭐️I adore it and will try the Sospiro Contralto to see if I also get similarity(alas no samples here to try, will have to source somewhere⭐️I liken perfume to earrings, “you” have to love it as they can finish off a look or make you uncomfortable🥰⭐️Have a beautiful day ⭐️🐣💛💚🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺💛💚🐣⭐️
Hiiii Stani! 💖 Yes, what a great way to think about perfume. The "earrings" have to feel like "you" to finish off the look. Perfect!!! I'll remember that way of describing the role and fit of fragrance.
@@VeronicaSays MWA 🥰🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺❤️
VERONICA!!!!!! HI!!!!!! I'M HERE!!!❤
Hiiiii Clinique! Thank you 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I agree about the Kate Spade line being great for every day. I enjoy Sparkle and Bloom, but my fave is Walk on Air, which is discontinued, but still available cheap from Jomashop, Nordstrom Rack, etc. I do love the new bottles.
Okay I'm glad go hear this! The reviews for Walk on Air are so mixed. Thanks for giving it the thumbs up 👍
Yes! I have three vintage and two modern Lily Pulitzer dresses! Love them!💛💚💙💜 I love this series so so much, as you know! So many discoveries. Happy Easter and Spring, Veronica!
Happy Easter! ✝️ Lilly Pulitzer is huge in my neck of the woods. We have several local stores. 🥰 Love those happy vibrant patterns.
Facts on Lira being overhyped!
I still enjoy it very much but the hype is a bit over the top. 🤷🏻♀️
Totally!!!
You put so much thought and creativity in these types of videos. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them, Veronica!!!😍
Thank you so much! 💖💖💖💖
Cheers to another great fragrance month! Happy Easter, Happy Spring to all!
Thank you, Sandra! 🌟💖 Happy Easter ✝️ and Spring! 🌸💐
Hi Veronica! Now, you definitely had my attention when you said that Contralto is said to smell like Bal d’Afrique 😁 I’m one of those people who swear by Bal d’Afrique, so I definitely need to give this one a try. Steamed Rainbow sounds intriguing too. Thank you!
Hi! Yes, Contralto has a strong resemblance to Bal d'Afrique so do give it a try. 👍👍👍
this new daisy wild flanker really surprised me! i gave the og to my mom but i might want this new one for myself 🤣🤣
Yes, Alexis! It's super pleasant! A winner! 🥰🥰🥰
You should definitely try Naomi Campbell's pret a Porter! I wear the toilette and it lasts for hours. Very cheap on fragrancenet , but very high quality perfume. Been wearing it all march! Fruitchouli in the best ways.. but it hits all the spots!
Thank you, Matthew! I was always curious about that one!
@@VeronicaSays it really hits all the spots. Syrupy sweet, yet fresh, yet deep patchouli, soft violets. So good!!
So glad you are enjoying DSD Steamed Rainbow! Between you and others on youtube - I'm convinced to get me a bottle! Loved this review - and I have Olympea Legend on my Fall to-buy list!
I hope you enjoyed Steamed Rainbow 🌈! Such a refreshing scent. You'll just have to reapply several times a day. 🥰🥰🥰
@@VeronicaSays Thank you, Veronica!
Watching from Monday evening in NZ. Early autumn and we have the same temperature fluctuations. Happy Easter! Today I wore Iris Celadon and this evening Blanche Bête - now starting to crave the darker, woodier and more vanillic beauties. As always a great watch and so many new to me scents to try and get my nose on. I have a decant of Erba Gold coming, along with Carioca Heart, Bianco Latte, Cappadocia (Memo) and Blouse (YSL)…. I’m just happy my low buy and declutter year is going well. I’ve sold over 80 bottles and thinning my sample library. Only buying things I love and sampling less and buying much slower. But I love watching your monthly recaps ❤️❤️
Hi Susannah! 💖 A good pruning back of the fragrance collection (or any collection) is a wonderful thing. I'm interested in trying Carioca Heart and Cappadocia also as well as a few other new fragrances on the market. Enjoy the "cool" weather fragrances that will shine as you get further into your fall season. 🥰
LOVE your videos, especially the monthly awards!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌟🌟🌟🌟 Thank you so much!
Hi Veronica! I have also been enjoying Erba Gold a lot!
Hi Sharida! 💖 It's really wonderful!
Prada Candy is great!! my teenage daughter loves it too. I adore Chantecaille Frangipane, Vicky Tiel Ethere, Olfactive Studio Iris Shot, Amouage Guidance, and Noteworthy N866💯
Frangipane and Iris Shot are soooo good! 🎉🎉🎉
I loved Prada Candy. It still deserves love! Ledda Orris 22 was my favorite this month! I spray it in the air and I walk through it so it hovers over me. Victoria’s Secret Bare Rose also made the March lineup. I’m on my 2nd bottle of original Bare. Love Edp, also from Victoria's Secret, is always in rotation! It is an uncomplicated + easy reach delicious fragrance. I go heavy with it because it's not long-lasting. Lastly I wore Vilhelm Moon Carnival and Burberry Goddess a ton this month! ⭐🌟🌠
Great selections! 22 Orris and Bare are loves of mine as well. I just picked up Bare Rose and it's lovely! Looking forward to wearing it soon! 💖💖💖
I want to try out the new my way! I have the OG and the florale version but a pear note added in sounds awesome⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yes! Give it a sniff! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Hello Veronica!
I have Frangipane by Chanticalle (?).
Love the vanilla base. Looking forward to getting my nose on Petales and Le Wild.
Hi! I love Frangipane, too! Such a pretty scent!!! 💖💖💖
@VeronicaSays Have you tried the Loewe fragrances from Spain?
I just order White Magnolia.
@@LoveandMisses I've tried a few. It's been a while, but I enjoyed most of what I tried. How about you?
Haven't tried but blind bought White Magnolia.. waiting for it to arrive
🤩⭐💫 I love paying respect for our old favorites!
Yessss! 💖💖🌟🌟🥰🥰
Oh I love Prada Candy! I had forgotten about it so will have to get another bottle. My favorite drag queen wears it!
Okay, you have to share! Who's your favorite drag queen???
@@VeronicaSays she is someone who performs in my local bar (thus I can smell her) so you wouldn’t have heard of her. But she can do back flips in 6 inch heels!
Your channel got me back into Florals 💐🌺🙏 My March wears included Carolina Herrera Good Girl Blush, Carolina Herrera by Carolina Herrera (the old school white floral bomb), Ormonde Jayne Levant, Abaton Chinotto Gourmand, and Xerjoff Nero 70.
Hi, fellow floral lover! Oh how wonderful! Thank you for sharing! The old school Carolina Herrera is a real powerhouse!
Happy East to you too! My most wore of the Month is..Petales - Chantecaille. Beautiful, Gorgeous white floral.🐣😘💮🌠
Happy Easter! ✝️ Wonderful! Petales is a beauty. 💖
⭐⭐⭐⭐Happy Easter! Just FYI, HOS Whispers of Truth only comes in that limited edition cupcake. And interestingly, I've heard it compared by more than one person to BR540. I'm also down with those "basic" fragrances, as really all we're talking about is mass appealing, and what's wrong with that. My SOTD is Devotion, which is one of the fragrances that gives Lira a run for it's money in my collection.
🌟🌟🌟🌟 Happy Easter! ✝️ Oh goodness, I think you are right! I must have imagined seeing Whispers of Truth in another bottle 😬 I don't get a BR540 vibe from it AT ALL! So interesting. Do you? Devotion is gorgeous!
heyyyyy Veronica 🥰 always love these monthly recaps. let’s see how things went in march!!!
Thank you so much, Alexis! Glad you enjoy this series! 💖💖💖
I love your listings, so many don’t list them or give other important deets
Thank you! 💖💖💖
Prada Candy is a sweet, powdery, airy fragrance on me. On my Mom it smells floral.
No kidding? Isn't it strange how that works? Love it.
I am so tempted to buy Prada Candy, after I learned it has benzoin in it. That's what some are probably getting the caramel feeling from.
It's worth checking out if you haven't already. It has a caramel accord listed in the note structure.
Hey Veronica 🙋🏾♀️, playing catch up
I was on a No device weekend 😂
Who put your device on timeout? 😂
Quality and value for money can be found in a lot of classics. Given the crazy cost of a lot of new perfume I find myself mixing purchases. For every Dior New Look or DS & Durga Wear at Maximum Volume there is also a White Linen. Also looking at classic Pharmacy fragrances like Granado.
You ate so right! It's fun to enjoy fragrances across eras and price points. 💖🌟
Happy Easter, Veronica! I am happy to see a long video today! I really love that new Daisy bottle and I really don’t like the others. I think it was so clever to make it look like flowers in a vase. Now I need to try the fragrance. My Way Nectar sounds lovely too. I was a teen in the 70’s and I was into all things Laura Ashley! I went to their store in Seattle and bought a pattern and fabric, and it was the cutest dress I have ever worn. It wasn’t one of the long frilly ones, but more simple and darling! Wish I still had it, and could fit into it😄I have never smelled Prada Candy😳 I had better catch up! Thank you for the nice long video!
Thank you so much, Karen! 💖 Yes that Daisy Wild bottle is quite clever! Oh I can see why Laura Ashley was THE designer to wear back in the day. It totally fit the preppy vibes of the time and the outfits were PRETTY!!! 🥰🥰🥰
My favorites from March were...
Krigler Mediterranean Peach 15
Burberry High Tea
Victoria's Secret Bare Rose
Lancome La Vie Est Belle Rose Extraordinaire
Dior J'adore Parfum d'Eau
Joy by Dior Intense
Byredo Sundazed
Lovely! I just picked up Bare Rose and am really enjoying it! 💖
We love you, so genuine and truthful about your feelings! All the best from Romania!❤
Awww thank you soooo much! 💖
I fell in love with Lucrethia from a sample that gave me the deepest, best pear, but when I got a full bottle the coffee comes through stronger for me. Still a scent I enjoy a lot, but one that varied a lot for me from sample to full bottle
Oh my goodness! Same for me! This is why I have trust issues with sampling 😩
@@VeronicaSays when you described the fruity shampoo smell I was confused 🤔 at first but then I remembered that change and it completely made sense. I've let my big bottle macerate hoping that pear I loved at first sniff will come back but nope lol seems like it's just something they tease you with in the samples
I Love Lucrethia.. I bought 2 back-up bottles 😅
Great choices! Pear is one of my favorite fragrance notes for sure. So glad you also included TT Wirtanen. Happy Easter!
Thank you! Pear is amazing as a note! Happy Easter ✝️
Bringing basic back! I love that. 💙 Prada Candy is fantastic. March Winners for me were Amouage Lineage, Caswell Massey Elixir of Love, and Rosendo Mateu Nº 5.
The new BBB. 🤣 Great March winners list!!
Laura Ashley dresses, yess. They had fragrances too. *n,818* by *Noteworthy* is my favorite fragrance right now. I bought a sample set and n,818 just captured my soul🍃🍏x
I like Prada Candy, but i was more of a Candy Night girl🌃. My Way Nectar is so good people are trippin🤦♀👀⭐⭐⭐
🌟🌟🌟🌟 Yes, My Way Nectar is really lovely! Thank you for introducing Noteworthy. I hadn't heard of this brand and am always interested in learning about new ones. 👍👍👍
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Here ‘til the end Veronica. Happy Easter 😃🇦🇺
Awww you're so sweet! 🌟🌟🌟 Thank you!
Today I wore L'eau papier..I get the rice note and then a soft wood, pencil shavings. I love it
Cool! I know it's beloved. Glad you're loving it! 🌟🌟💖💖👍👍
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ I keep debating on Whispers of Truth. Particularly because it would be a blind buy 🤣
🌟🌟🌟🌟 I understand! Those cupcakes are pricey! 🧁
How about that new Donna Karen Cashmere collection? That Cashmere Tiare is on my sniff list. Lol ❤
I've been eyeballing the new collection! I want to sniff them all. Reviews are all over the place, though! 😬
@@VeronicaSays also that Aerin Honeysuckle Tiare. That lemon and Tiare combo is what o have been waiting for 🤩
Yes that one made it into my Macy's cart! I didn't check out though.
🌟 ⭐️ 💫 Happy Easter Veronica! 😘
🌟🌟🌟🌟 Happy Easter, Julie!
When you were talking about the special occasions to wear Wirtanen I thought you said "affair". I thought you snuck that one in nicely.🤣I'm guessing that was "a fair", lol Anyhoo...it's nice to see someone talk about Prada Candy. It was one of the first I bought when I really started expanding my fragrance collection. Even with all the beautiful and interesting niche perfumes that have made their way into my collection, Prada Candy is still one of my favorites.
I did say affair, but I meant it as in an evening affair = evening event. Not THAT kind of affair, but I suppose that works too 😂 Prada Candy is 👍👍👍
Ahhh! That makes even more sense. I thought a fair didn't seem like a very special occasion but who am I to decide what's fancy for someone else? 😂
I will keep trying with Santal Basmati, just feels like i have to layer it with something, and its so light on me✴⭐🤩
It's definitely a very light wearing fragrance. I agree.
Dear Veronica, Happy Easter 🐣🌱
We all need a basic fragrance.. it's like pushing the refresh button.
P.s. French Defense sounds cool !!!
❤️
Happy Easter ✝️ Sanne! Yes, basic fragrances are like an olfactory palette cleanser. 👍👍👍 Give French Defense a sniff!
I am making lists again. Thank you for the wonderful suggestions and your humorous and insightful delivery.
Thank you, as always, for watching and commenting! 🥰🥰🥰
Happy Easter!! So excited for your awards! 🫶🫶💗💗
Thank you, boo! Happy Easter my friend! ✝️✝️✝️
Another great one, Veronica! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you, Anne! 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Yes! I’ve been into basic stuff lately too,,I love Prada Candy and just picked up amazing Grace edp intense,,it’s sooo good❤❤❤
Basic is best! I just made that up 😂 Philosophy has some great selections. 👍👍👍
Oooh, the Shanghai bottle is beautiful 😍♥️
So pretty to look at!!
I love the in-depth take on your fragrance experience but that French Defense I'm still on the fence about. It didn't give for me during fall and winter, so high hopes for spring and summer ⭐️
Thank you! 💖 Darn! Sorry to hear French Defense was misbehaving for you. Hope it deepens in the coming months.
New sub here and new to parfums. I've watched several YT channels and find myself returning to yours. For me, your descriptions are the most helpful. Thank you. I am quickly learning this could become an obsession...
Hi Denise! Welcome! And thank you for returning! 🥰🥰🥰 Oh my, yes! This can become an obsession. Pace thyself! 😂 It can get out of hand quickly.
Hey Veronica!! ❤❤Yeah! Let’s see what fragrances made the list!😊 always so fun!❤
Hiii! Thanks for watching today! 🌟💖🥰
