I love your monthly fragrance awards! So many perfume reviewers just do first impressions and never follow up with anything more. Your fragrance awards let us know what you have actually been wearing and your opinions after extended wear. Thanks!
Thank you for the shout out on the Blanche Bete layered with Gris Charnel. 🥰 This is an absolutely one of my favorite combos. I get massive compliments every time I wear them together.
💛We are already hitting the second month of 2024. Here for another Frag awards! Watching while I change my fragrance tray😁 DEFINITELY adding Blanche Bette and Gris Charnel…..wearing that combo tomorrow! Rosendo 6 is SUCH a beauty. I need to get my nose on Andrea Maack fragrances this year. Let me get my wallet ready for what you have in store for us……
💛 still here Veronica! I always watch your videos til the end and as a matter of fact, I prefer your longer and very descriptive videos!! The only ones I have smelled are Devotion which I immediately had to buy and Blanche Bete. Devotion is one of my faves with that scent profile. And Blanche Bete-there aren't words appropriate enough to describe the gorgeousness that is BB. I have the Lait De Biscuit on my wants list. Thanks for a great video!!
Greetings from Kenya Veronica. I have Temptatio and it's so beastmode. It's a unique one in my collection. I got it from Jomashop at a good deal last year. I am waiting for Vanilla Love to arrive can't wait, I'm a sucker for vanilla.
AM Pavilion is sooooo beautiful, I too, was speechless when I had the chance to smell it from my coworker’s bottle. I had an OMG, “eyes rolled back” moment. 😍
@@VeronicaSaysI did layer the two, loved it! Shared it with my perfume friend who comes over whenever either of us has any new perfumes or samples for our “sip and sniff” sessions. Glass of bubbles and testing out new fragrances. She loved it too. I left the testing strip on the kitchen bench and the combined scent was still discernible 8 days later! 😲 A bit softer on day 8, but goodness, how good is that? She said you’re a genius for coming up with that combo. Would love to see a full video of different combinations Veronica. No pressure 😃🇦🇺
Hey Ms. V….💛 Ya know the one thing I’ve learned over the last 3-4 years is that my opinions of scents changes. So I am being careful not to quickly judge anything. And in many cases I’m putting something away if I’m unsure of it and then pulling it out to retry another time. I think I bought Cocoa Woods because of you and still love it - yep dry dusty cocoa and tiare flower. Still sampling VS Bare, it’s a like but maybe not a love, not sure yet. My sample of MG Sissa came today 🙌🏻 yay! It was 80 and sunny today in AZ ☀️ but overall Jan was pretty cold 😘
Hi Jill! 🥰💖 Same here. I may joke about impressions of fragrances on my channel, but I totally know our tastes and opinions can change. Glad you're enjoying Cocoa Woods! I'm sure she is settling into her new home and getting some love. ☺️ Ooooooh MG! That's a whole rabbit hole! I just got another travel discovery family from So Avant Garde and my wallet is like... don't you DARE fall in love with any of those! 😆
Having the most aggravating day at work! Urrg! Thank you for posting in time for me to unwind at lunch with my favorite fragrance content. Wooosaaah...😊
Thanks for sharing your list. So many to get my nose on now. 😌I had a rather oddball list of fragrance winners this month: -L'Erbolario Altea Profumo (Marsh Mallow) -Commes des Garçons Odeur 71 -Clean Nordic Light -Abaton Chinotto Gourmand -Rituals Auspicious Dragon -Montale Aoud Velvet 🥰
💛 Ooooh can’t wait to dive into the Gris charnel + Blanche bête combo - sounds like a winner! Curious about Jousset ALV and its flankers; are they more on the thick side or airy? Mixed reviews got me wondering (similar to Bianco Latte vibes?). And that HOS bottle? Total masterpiece, but I’m steering clear if it gives off a masculine scent, especially at that price! Love the series Veronica 🤩
Thank you Sofia! 💖🥰 The Jousset Accident A La Vanille line feels more buttery and thick to me than airy but definitely sample them. That's a love/hate house for many folks.
@@VeronicaSays thank you! I’ll order a sample then if I can manage to find one! Tried the GC + BB combo today and it is a huge winner, loved it. Thanks for the recommendation
OMG Literally my first time hearing about Vanilla Love was this week and this is my 3rd time hearing about it! 😂😂😂 I like Hundred Silent Ways but I think I’d like the X version even better! I’ve been watching this video in bits and pieces yesterday and today.. and now you’ll be keeping me company as I put on my makeup! ❤🎉
Hiiii Tammy! Glad I could keep you company. I may be alone on Vanilla Love. Maybe there is something beautiful in it that my sense of smell just doesn't register for some reason. 😩
Hey Veronica 💚💛💜 I got to a Neiman's this month, and "got my nose on" a lot. But didn't buy anything. Did I hear sales coming???? Anyway, thinking about Althair. And I loved Guerlain's Tobacco Honey. Maybe I'll save up for my birthday next Fall. And surprisingly, I also loved Guerlain's Neroli Outrenoir. I don't usually like neroli. Happy Feb❤
Hi Denise! I enjoy most of that Guerlain line, even if they are ones I would not purchase for myself. They are all pleasant in one way or another. Yes, sale coming up TOMORROW and a few more in coming weeks. Watch for tomorrow morning's video. 😉😉😉
Hey girl, hey! You know I love this series, but I find myself seeing the months flying by faster than I expect! Hope the first month of 2024 was a great month 💛💛💛
@@VeronicaSays this feels like a convo for essentialveronica- which I also subscribe to and love ❤️ you, as a person, are fantastic and my kind of person. I think I would offer you my friendship as a trial run based on what I know of you. I say this as a compliment and hope you take it that way 😊
Fragrance wears of January included Lineage from Amouage, Good Fortune Elixir Intense from V&R, Habit Rouge Prive from Guerlain, Gatsby 22 from Ormonde Jayne, Green Lover from Lolita Lempicka, Tiffany (1987 bottle) from Tiffany, and Accident À La Vanille from Jousset. 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
The madeleine is a reference to the description of the dessert in “Swann’s Way” by Marcel Proust (pronounced proost I believe). It’s a bit of a pretentious French novel that I personally did not have the patience to read. But the madeleine sounded lovely lol.
My favourites, January awards🏆🏆. So many interesting fragrances from your selection🤩🤩. I like Vanilla Love but at full retail no plus it slightly reminded me of Eau Duelle but not a dupe by any means😉😉. That Wednesday bottle is stunning😍😍. Sales are all over the place over here and I’m really trying to hide my wallet😫😫. Oh the SA at Dior showered me with Jadore L’Or and I was pleasantly surprised as I did not like the original😍😍. I always enjoy these awards and looking forward to February💛💛. Now let me go and do my grocery shopping 😂😂. Stay gorgeous 💛💛
I remember immediately trying the blanche bête + gris charnel combo almost a year ago when AI the great recommended it. I've never gotten that much compliments that day, my boss, my dentist, random people, they all asked me what I was wearing
I agree with you on the Wednesday bottle. It’s so beautiful and true to the Wednesday series. Unfortunately I’m not so sure the fragrance is for me. I usually prefer a lighter, brighter rose. It was a gift from my husband, so I want to make it work. If anyone has any layering ideas that might work with the notes in this fragrance to make it a bit more girly (I know, totally Not Wednesday Addams!) I’d love to hear suggestions.
Honestly, maybe just enjoy the bottle alone. Unpopular opinion, but I bought the Mickey and Minnie ones for the bottles. Now, I happen to enjoy the scents, too, but they are second to the bottle in cuteness. Layering for Wednesday might be hard. Maybe try a white floral or a rose fragrance. Or, if you prefer something deeper, perhaps an amber fragrance.
@@VeronicaSays I keep hoping that it will grow on me. I don’t hate it, but it’s just not my usual type of fragrance. The good news is that my husband told me that he’s perfectly happy if I only end up liking the bottle, so I suppose that’s a win. 😄
I thought you might appreciate the humour in this...and thus I received a sign that I think I've bought sufficient niche fragrances now...but I woke up in the middle of the night just now to an email--in French--from the House of Chabaud. I read a bit of French having grown up in Louisiana...where, because the part of Louisiana I lived in was the oldest in the Louisiana Purchase and ALL the government buildings are still labeled "en Frances"...with little tiny signs in English. I've also tried to learn French on several platforms during my life...just enough to be dangerous. Nevertheless...I opened the email and began browsing. ROFL!!! Thank goodness...the fragrance descriptions were in English so my brain was able to stop the mental gymnastics! (I can't find a yellow heart emoji...)
Rumor has it the Madeleine de Proust is a good dupe of old-school 90s Vanilla Apricot from Victoria's Secret? 🤷♀ Winners for the month of Jan. were White Musk from TBS, an oldie but goodie, Tom Ford Ombre Leather the 2018 formulation which was my "going out" scent for most of this month, Zara Warm Freedom, YSL Libre Platine, and Balmain Ambre Gris. A tuberose gem to check out is Tubereuse Headspace by Headspace. Thank you for shouting out the hidden gems!
I had to watch this one in 2 parts...lol So many good ones here! I can also suggest Gris Charnel with a light dose of Bianco Latte. It's similar to the Blanche Bete. 😊
These awards bring me so much joy! I live in a warm climate so most of my perfumes are not those spicy dense "Winter" scents. But, here were my most-used last month: Ellis Brooklyn Salt, Burberry High Tea, Victoria's Secret Bare, Victoria Beckham Beauty Portofino '97, Commodity Milk -, Carner Barcelona Besos, and... Bond 9 Tribeca (my old stomping grounds!!😊💅) I think Temptatio is for me. 👀 💙,Danya
Temptatio sounds Devine and that bottle is stunning 🤩 Girl you know how to combine perfume ! Sometimes I hit it out of the park and other times 🤦♀️not so good 😂 Those cupcakes blow my mind but I do tend to prefer more feminine Note Vanille is one I do adore and have a cute little sample bottle from Lala
The cupcakes, especially the limited edition ones, are just so precious! 💖💖💖 I am not good at combining at all but I do pay attention to people's recommendations to help me out.
I've got to find a sample of Pavilion! My very favorite fragrance in the late 70s was Pavilion by Estee Lauder (it came out at the same time as White Linen and a green one that I can't recall atm, but the trio was introduced and *layering* was actually encouraged, way back then!) - Anyway, not that it's anything like that in the scent profile, but I'm taking it as a sign... (Celadon was that 3rd EL fragrance...in 1978!)❤
Hi Anne! 💖 Yes, this is a SIGN to sample Pavilion. Twisted Lily sells samples. If you shop there, you can use Veronica10 for a bit of a discount. Hope you enjoy it.
@VeronicaSays Veronica, did you see where Frédéric Malle is "reimagining" 5 classic EL fragrances? White Linen, Azuree, Estee, Knowing, and Private Collection - they'll all have "Legacy" after the name. This will be interesting - I used to like all of those - I kept trying to wear Azuree, though, and couldn't, even though I loved it on others. I was young and maybe I just didn't know it was possible to spray *just a little*! 😘
@@AnneBerbling yes! I'm looking forward to sampling these, especially if they are going to be modernized versions of these gorgeous fragrances. I still own White Linen and Private Collection. Sold my Knowing.
@VeronicaSays I recently sold my last White Linen because (do I dare say the dreaded word that starts with an *R*) it just wasn't *me* anymore, and I got tired of gambling with buying off eBay, if a bottle was truly vintage and/or had just "gone off", or what (I tried figuring it out with batch numbers, but I think EL repeats them after a while, and people's idea of "vintage" isn't always the same) - that's why I've recently decided "you can't go home again" and am venturing into the current offerings! 😜 But yes, I'm excited to try these! 🤞🤞🤞
💛💛My favorite series - YAY! That Wednesday bottle was utterly charming, so good! And I am Very intrigued by Pavilion too! Wow! What a fantastic list. You never disappoint with all the choices Veronica! ❤️🌹💛
I just ordered HOS Whispers of truth for 50% off. This fragrance original price is a little steep. My first HOS fragrance was Mini mouse, and l love it.
💛💛 Those TT bottles 😍😭 I luuuuuurve dem. I found out that my nose cannot stand Tuberose, that’s my major migraine inducer.😭 Loved the vid 🥰mwaaaa🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺❤️🧡
Why did I literally finish my Boucheron Q’enRose just this very morning and come here to see this video?😄 I was flying out of Dulles the same Sunday that snow first hit (spent my holidays in the DMV), wasn’t at all pleased about it! … got safely out though, thank God.
Sprayed 100 silent ways x this week and wasn't expecting anything since I sold the first version. I found the normal one too sweet but I Just love the new X ❤ like you said keep sniffing 😂
Hi Gorgeous. Blind bought Le Gourmand and I love it but it's extremely rich, dense, and straight up gooey chocolate and nutella. It's not as powdery as say a Chocolate Greedy. I can see it actually choking some people out on chocolate overload. I bought Chocolate Queen and wondered "where is the chocolate?" - not this one. I love this entire line and have them all!
Oh, hello my favourite series on Fumetube!! Yay! My wallet is WARMED UP, Sista! That Wednesday bottle, tho! So lovely! *I can't do a yellow heart on my computer for some reason, but I'm here! Thank you for doing these. They make my heart sing! xo
Hi Veronica ❤ the name of the brand is quinto canto (iirc it refers to the Divina Conmedia with Paolo & Francesca, in the hell for their love story) and the name of the fragrance is Latin, so the final part TIO gets read as you would read ZIO in Italian ❤ hth!
That list could not be more perfect. Some of those I have yet to try. I keep myself at a limit for how much I spend each moth on fragrance. The top wears of January were Coco Mystère by Le Monde Gourmand, Moonmilk by Stora Skuggan, Soleil de Feu by Tom Ford, Iris Cendre by Naomi Goodsir, and Bond 9 Chelsea Nights.
💛💛💛 I'm so glad you like Devotion, Veronica - I love the heart on the bottle! Question - I have always been a "saver", but I'm trying not to do that so much anymore...trying to downsize and streamline *a little* - so, what do you do with bottles like the beautiful Wednesday one - (okay, maybe that's not a good example because it's like a little art piece)...but say, like the gold plated capped one or the other really fancy bottles - when they're completely empty? ❤
The bottle IS so pretty. 🥰💖 In the past, if I finish a bottle, I recycle if possible or give it away. Some folks actually collect that sort of thing for decoration.
First of all, 💛. Second, I’m new here, and I just love your content. I remember “V”! Lol. That show was traumatizing! I need to get my nose on Quatre and Fracas and Pavillion! Looking forward to hearing about the upcoming sale! I have mannnnnny fragrances on my wish list thanks to you!
💛 The only scent I have from Tiziana Tirenzi is Chimaera . It also came in this box which opens up with a presentation that lights up. The bottle is a typical Tiziana Tirenzi bottle, though, no water.
You know? I haven't worn it in a long time, I did like it back when. Ha ha. I remember it being a lot more expensive than others out at that time and it was a measly $300! The prices for the line have really gone up. @@VeronicaSays
I think the standard bottles (like Laudano Nero or Gold Rose Oudh) were something like $120-150 or so when I shopped at Barneys. Or, at least, they were kind of reasonable. Chimaera was a big step up. @@VeronicaSays
Hello Veronica. My V Canto Temptatio’s logo plate came off too when I received it, I understand how you felt….but omg, the juice!!! The Wednesday bottle is my favorite HOS and I’m also in love with the scent. You described it exactly the same way I feel about it. It’s intriguing, unique and beautiful….so Wednesday 😄 I need to Try HSW X, I have and love the OG. 🥰
70 degrees here, sunny and I’m loving it ☀️ I can’t wait to plant flowers in late march-April 🌺🌸🌼🌷💐🪻🌹🌻 These fragrances sound so good to me.👌 I’ve got my eye on a couple of new perfumes coming out this year, I’ve been laying low until they come out, so I can jump on them. I’m in the mood for sweet , powdery but rich florals 💓💐 I’ve just been craving them. It’s been gloomy for a long time, now it’s sunny and very pleasant 🥰
I've tried TF Vanilla Sx and didn't work for me. It smelled like a cheap vanilla candle with some camphor. My husband said it smells like the waiting room of a medical clinic..I know many like it, so I hope I don't offend anyone..that is how I perceive it
Hi Veronica, Perfect timing fragrance twin January fragrance awards. I ❤ watching your reviews. I just received HOS Wednesday today. I purchased it based on the beautiful cupcake and took a chance on the fragrance. The fragrance to me is beautiful too! I do not have anything in my collection that smells the same. Yes, HOS shipping charge will change my thoughts on purchasing more 🧁. 😍
Accident a la Vanille Madeleine de Proust made me January list too 😊😊😊 And... Clean Classic (The Original), Prada Candy Night, Dior Hypnotic Poison EDT 2004 batch, Thierry Mugler Innocent, Mancera Velvet Vanilla, Mind Games Queening, & Black Opium Le Parfum. I have not tried Vanilla Sex yet but there is 😬 so much gossip on that one. House of Sillage gets me with THOSE bottles🤩I'm a big Marvel fan so I have been dying to get my nose on Wonder Woman and The Batman Hero! The bottles are enchanting alone. I owned a sample of Belle d'Opium years ago!
Oh what a list! 💖 I wore Queening, too, although I didn't include it in the fragrance awards. What are your thoughts on it? I think it's lovely. I forgot about that Batman bottle! 😲 So creative!!
@@VeronicaSays Oh girl Queening is my SH*T right now! I can't seem to put it down lately. I do not regret the money. It is creamy, clean, sweet lasts 12 hours on me.💖💥👌💯 Sorry for the slow reply!!!
I love your long videos Veronica 😂❤. Keep em coming. I have melodie di Orientica and love it. I'm keeping my eye out for fleur di orientica also. Some of my favourites from this month: chloe nomade absolue, L'eau d'Issey the peony one, ILK Devious
@@VeronicaSays it took me a while to get my nose on it. So many mixed reviews kind of put me off then I got a sample. It's was a no, but I kept going back to it. I love it now, 😂
💛 Oops. I think I jumped the gun and bought Vanilla Love after you talked about it in a video. It's okay, but it didn't live up to my expectations either. I'm envious of that cute Wednesday cupcake, but I didn't love it off the sample card. Wonder Woman on the other hand is amazing IMO! I've definitely fallen down the cupcake rabbit hole. I just wish they gave samples instead of those dumb sample cards.
Wonder Woman IS amazing! Really good. I feel validated to hear about your Vanilla Love experience. I would recommend it for folks looking for an easy going subdued vanilla. It's just not the spicy dream for me that some folks experience.
The first time I smelled Fracas, I cried. It was that beautiful. 💛💛💛💛💛
Now THAT is a gorgeous fragrance! 💖💖💖
I have that and Petit Fracas beautiful as well. ❤
I love your monthly fragrance awards! So many perfume reviewers just do first impressions and never follow up with anything more. Your fragrance awards let us know what you have actually been wearing and your opinions after extended wear. Thanks!
Thank you, Sheryl! 🥰💖 I really enjoy thinking about and filming these. I appreciate your positive feedback. 🙏
Thank you for the shout out on the Blanche Bete layered with Gris Charnel. 🥰
This is an absolutely one of my favorite combos.
I get massive compliments every time I wear them together.
Yay! Glad I had the right person. Thanks so much for suggesting it!! 🥰🥰🥰
I will try this combo, thanks
@@spiritcloud5883 let us know how you like it. 😉
This is a very special series. It is carefully curated and very thoughtfully presented. This is one awards ceremony worth watching! Thank you ❤
Awww thank you soooo much! I'm thrilled you enjoy it 💖💖🥰🥰
70 degrees!!! I’m jealous! We’ve been happy with 40 degrees!
Me too in NY! LOL
@@lisawithans 😂 Northwest Indiana!
Yikes! Yall stay frozen in the Midwest 😩 Poor things.
@@VeronicaSays 😂
Hey Veronica! I’m starting to measure my time by your award videos. Time is definitely flying 💜💜
Oh wow! I am always surprised how the months just FLY BY!
I actually bought Wednesday just for the bottle! Fortunately, I like the scent, too. LOL!
Same here! Stroke of luck for me! That bottle is EVERYTHING! 💖🥰
💛We are already hitting the second month of 2024. Here for another Frag awards! Watching while I change my fragrance tray😁
DEFINITELY adding Blanche Bette and Gris Charnel…..wearing that combo tomorrow! Rosendo 6 is SUCH a beauty. I need to get my nose on Andrea Maack fragrances this year.
Let me get my wallet ready for what you have in store for us……
I cannot believe how quickly the months are passing! It's a bit scare, to be honest. 🥹 Let me know your thoughts on the layering combo!

AM Pavilion is sooooo beautiful, I too, was speechless when I had the chance to smell it from my coworker’s bottle. I had an OMG, “eyes rolled back” moment. 😍
See? Look, everyone! Listen to Marie! 🥰🥰🥰
I’m glad this sale is in February because I have a buying limit for each month
Tomorrow is February and Friday the sales COMMENCE! 😆 My wallet is drinking water and stretching!
@@VeronicaSays dang Friday! I’m ready!!

Hiiii Alexis! 💖🥰 Yes this weather is moody af 😆
💛 I agree Pavilion is so nice 👍🏼 enjoy this months awards 😉 I love the sea stars bottles.
Hiiii Denise! Yes! Pavilion is everything! Thank you kindly. 💖🥰💖🥰
Blanche Bete, was a Big surprise indeed....but this combo.... I'm going to try it
Are you still hating Blanche Bete or has it grown on you? I hope it's the latter. 🙏💖
Just received my Rosendo Mateu no. 6 and really looking forward to cooler weather to wear it. Now off to layer Blanche Bete and Gris Charnel! 😃🇦🇺
Woohoo! 💖🥰 Let us know what you think of the layering combo. 😉

I agree with you on the Wednesday bottle. It’s so beautiful and true to the Wednesday series. Unfortunately I’m not so sure the fragrance is for me. I usually prefer a lighter, brighter rose. It was a gift from my husband, so I want to make it work. If anyone has any layering ideas that might work with the notes in this fragrance to make it a bit more girly (I know, totally Not Wednesday Addams!) I’d love to hear suggestions.
Honestly, maybe just enjoy the bottle alone. Unpopular opinion, but I bought the Mickey and Minnie ones for the bottles. Now, I happen to enjoy the scents, too, but they are second to the bottle in cuteness. Layering for Wednesday might be hard. Maybe try a white floral or a rose fragrance. Or, if you prefer something deeper, perhaps an amber fragrance.
@@VeronicaSays I keep hoping that it will grow on me. I don’t hate it, but it’s just not my usual type of fragrance. The good news is that my husband told me that he’s perfectly happy if I only end up liking the bottle, so I suppose that’s a win. 😄
💛 Such a helpful video!!
💖💖💖 Awesome! Thank you!
I thought you might appreciate the humour in this...and thus I received a sign that I think I've bought sufficient niche fragrances now...but I woke up in the middle of the night just now to an email--in French--from the House of Chabaud. I read a bit of French having grown up in Louisiana...where, because the part of Louisiana I lived in was the oldest in the Louisiana Purchase and ALL the government buildings are still labeled "en Frances"...with little tiny signs in English. I've also tried to learn French on several platforms during my life...just enough to be dangerous.
Nevertheless...I opened the email and began browsing. ROFL!!! Thank goodness...the fragrance descriptions were in English so my brain was able to stop the mental gymnastics! (I can't find a yellow heart emoji...)
I love it! And I agree - it's a sign! 🥰🥰🥰
Rumor has it the Madeleine de Proust is a good dupe of old-school 90s Vanilla Apricot from Victoria's Secret? 🤷♀
Winners for the month of Jan. were White Musk from TBS, an oldie but goodie, Tom Ford Ombre Leather the 2018 formulation which was my "going out" scent for most of this month, Zara Warm Freedom, YSL Libre Platine, and Balmain Ambre Gris. A tuberose gem to check out is Tubereuse Headspace by Headspace.
Thank you for shouting out the hidden gems!
I actually have a Headspace discovery set waiting for me! Excited to try it. 💖🥰 Thanks for sharing your top picks!
I had to watch this one in 2 parts...lol So many good ones here! I can also suggest Gris Charnel with a light dose of Bianco Latte. It's similar to the Blanche Bete. 😊
Hiii! Thanks for watching in two parts to get it all in! You're som sweet. I will definitely try this combo. 💖🥰
That HOS Wednesday bottle really is stunning! 💜 Ive never tried a HOS fragrance but this one is really tempting. 🤩
I tell ya! It's darling! 🥰💖🥳
💛 loved this video! Hope you have a wonderful weekend💛
Thank you so much! 💖💖💖
These awards bring me so much joy! I live in a warm climate so most of my perfumes are not those spicy dense "Winter" scents. But, here were my most-used last month: Ellis Brooklyn Salt, Burberry High Tea, Victoria's Secret Bare, Victoria Beckham Beauty Portofino '97, Commodity Milk -, Carner Barcelona Besos, and... Bond 9 Tribeca (my old stomping grounds!!😊💅) I think Temptatio is for me. 👀 💙,Danya
Thank you soooo much! Where do you live? I didn't know Burberry made a fragrance called High Tea! Love that name.
Now I’m moving Temptatio to my wishlist. V Canto wasn’t even on my radar. Thanks ❤
Let me know your thoughts if you try it! Honestly, V Canto was not on my radar either. This is where PR can really introduce me to new houses. 👍👍👍
I showed restraint and got a travel size of devotion and the more I wear it , the more I love it
Awwww that's awesome! And they sell a 30 ml version. I think that's what I have, but I don't remember.
The b canto is my favorite of TT creation
Great first awards of the year. 🎉 ❤
Thank you, Mrs. Cook! 💖💖💖
Devotion has yet to wow me. I still get citrusy cleaner
Temptatio sounds Devine and that bottle is stunning 🤩
Girl you know how to combine perfume ! Sometimes I hit it out of the park and other times 🤦♀️not so good 😂
Those cupcakes blow my mind but I do tend to prefer more feminine
Note Vanille is one I do adore and have a cute little sample bottle from Lala
The cupcakes, especially the limited edition ones, are just so precious! 💖💖💖 I am not good at combining at all but I do pay attention to people's recommendations to help me out.
💛 Interesting about the plate falling off the Tirenzi bottle. One of mine arrived the same during the summer.
Oh no! Sounds like a general design flaw. 😩
I've got to find a sample of Pavilion! My very favorite fragrance in the late 70s was Pavilion by Estee Lauder (it came out at the same time as White Linen and a green one that I can't recall atm, but the trio was introduced and *layering* was actually encouraged, way back then!) - Anyway, not that it's anything like that in the scent profile, but I'm taking it as a sign...
(Celadon was that 3rd EL fragrance...in 1978!)❤
Hi Anne! 💖 Yes, this is a SIGN to sample Pavilion. Twisted Lily sells samples. If you shop there, you can use Veronica10 for a bit of a discount. Hope you enjoy it.
@@VeronicaSays Thank you, Veronica! 🥰
@VeronicaSays Veronica, did you see where Frédéric Malle is "reimagining" 5 classic EL fragrances? White Linen, Azuree, Estee, Knowing, and Private Collection - they'll all have "Legacy" after the name. This will be interesting - I used to like all of those - I kept trying to wear Azuree, though, and couldn't, even though I loved it on others. I was young and maybe I just didn't know it was possible to spray *just a little*! 😘
@@AnneBerbling yes! I'm looking forward to sampling these, especially if they are going to be modernized versions of these gorgeous fragrances. I still own White Linen and Private Collection. Sold my Knowing.
@VeronicaSays I recently sold my last White Linen because (do I dare say the dreaded word that starts with an *R*) it just wasn't *me* anymore, and I got tired of gambling with buying off eBay, if a bottle was truly vintage and/or had just "gone off", or what (I tried figuring it out with batch numbers, but I think EL repeats them after a while, and people's idea of "vintage" isn't always the same) - that's why I've recently decided "you can't go home again" and am venturing into the current offerings! 😜 But yes, I'm excited to try these! 🤞🤞🤞
💛💛My favorite series - YAY! That Wednesday bottle was utterly charming, so good! And I am Very intrigued by Pavilion too! Wow! What a fantastic list. You never disappoint with all the choices Veronica! ❤️🌹💛
Yellow heart 😂 don't know how to do it ❤😂😂😂
Thank you soooo much Julie! 🥰💖 Pavilion is AMAZING! 👍
I just ordered HOS Whispers of truth for 50% off. This fragrance original price is a little steep. My first HOS fragrance was Mini mouse, and l love it.
Hi Denise! Those half off sales are where it's at! I lovvvvve BOTH Minni Mouse bottles. So dang cute! 🥰
love your monthly round ups!! damn I would’ve purchased Amethyst Haze on your Mercari if I wasn’t in Australia
Aaawww thank you! Too bad Mercari doesn't do international shipping. 😩
💛💛 Those TT bottles 😍😭 I luuuuuurve dem. I found out that my nose cannot stand Tuberose, that’s my major migraine inducer.😭
Loved the vid 🥰mwaaaa🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺❤️🧡
Thank you darling! Awww too bad about the tuberose. Shucks. I love it.
Another great video Veronica - so glad you spoke about Wednesday because I was eyeing it just for the bottle lol. I wonder what it smells similar to?
Thank you! 💖🥰 I can't think of anything it smells similar to right now, but think rosey, woody, spicy with patchouli.
I ❤️LOVE todays video and the starfish on the bottle...
Thank youuuuu Joan! 💖💖💖
I love these monthly awards
Thank you so much! 🥰💖
Why did I literally finish my Boucheron Q’enRose just this very morning and come here to see this video?😄 I was flying out of Dulles the same Sunday that snow first hit (spent my holidays in the DMV), wasn’t at all pleased about it! … got safely out though, thank God.
Oh no! I'm glad your travels were not impacted AND glad to hear you enjoyed Quatre en Rose so much that you finished a bottle! 🎊🎊🎊
💛 thank you. Always enjoy these videos. Wednesday is chef's kiss 😘
Thank you so much! Yes, Wednesday is special. 🥰💖🥰💖
This video is really a breath of fresh air! Very different and fun to watch.😊
Thank you, Kathy! 💖🥰 How kind 🙏
Sprayed 100 silent ways x this week and wasn't expecting anything since I sold the first version. I found the normal one too sweet but I Just love the new X ❤ like you said keep sniffing 😂
Oh that's awesome to hear! 💖🥰 I love the original as well but I understand how it can seem too sweet to some. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Veronica 💛.
J'adore L'Or is a stunner, on my skin this is a tamed version of Allien the OG.
Great Video thank you.
Thank you so much, Fatima! Glad you enjoy the new Dior. 🥰💖
I absolutely love Wednesday, the bottle and the fragrance
Yesss! I'm glad you love it also! What a special bottle! So cute. 🥰💖
Hi Gorgeous. Blind bought Le Gourmand and I love it but it's extremely rich, dense, and straight up gooey chocolate and nutella. It's not as powdery as say a Chocolate Greedy. I can see it actually choking some people out on chocolate overload. I bought Chocolate Queen and wondered "where is the chocolate?" - not this one. I love this entire line and have them all!
Oh interesting! Thanks so much for sharing your impressions of this fragrance! 🥰🥰🥰
Another awesome episode, Veronica!❤
Thank you so much! 💖💖💖
I love the bottle for Wednesday. It is beautiful.
It is DIVINE! SO WELL DONE! 💖💖💖
Oh, hello my favourite series on Fumetube!! Yay!
My wallet is WARMED UP, Sista!
That Wednesday bottle, tho! So lovely!
*I can't do a yellow heart on my computer for some reason, but I'm here!
Thank you for doing these. They make my heart sing! xo
Thank you Julija! 🥰💖 What a lovely comment. My wallet is warmed up too! She's stretching and drinking water right now. 😆😆😆
Yeah 💖💖💖 the first Fragrance Awards in 2024 🎉🥳
Hiiii Dorte! 💖💖💖
Hi Veronica ❤ the name of the brand is quinto canto (iirc it refers to the Divina Conmedia with Paolo & Francesca, in the hell for their love story) and the name of the fragrance is Latin, so the final part TIO gets read as you would read ZIO in Italian ❤ hth!
Thank you for this info! 🥰🥰🥰
Rosendo No6, I love it
So good! A must try! 💯🥰
That list could not be more perfect. Some of those I have yet to try. I keep myself at a limit for how much I spend each moth on fragrance. The top wears of January were Coco Mystère by Le Monde Gourmand, Moonmilk by Stora Skuggan, Soleil de Feu by Tom Ford, Iris Cendre by Naomi Goodsir, and Bond 9 Chelsea Nights.
Ooooooh you have some true beauties on this list! Fantastic! 🥰💖🥰💖
💛💛💛… love all your January perfume tray especially Soma which I love so much ❤❤❤❤🎉
Thank you so much! 💖💖💖
💛💛💛 I'm so glad you like Devotion, Veronica - I love the heart on the bottle! Question - I have always been a "saver", but I'm trying not to do that so much anymore...trying to downsize and streamline *a little* - so, what do you do with bottles like the beautiful Wednesday one - (okay, maybe that's not a good example because it's like a little art piece)...but say, like the gold plated capped one or the other really fancy bottles - when they're completely empty? ❤
The bottle IS so pretty. 🥰💖 In the past, if I finish a bottle, I recycle if possible or give it away. Some folks actually collect that sort of thing for decoration.
Love the fragrance awards!
Thank you Santa! 💖💖💖
First of all, 💛. Second, I’m new here, and I just love your content. I remember “V”! Lol. That show was traumatizing! I need to get my nose on Quatre and Fracas and Pavillion! Looking forward to hearing about the upcoming sale! I have mannnnnny fragrances on my wish list thanks to you!
Awww thank you! 🥰💖 And hilarious that we have "V" in common! 😆😂 Welcome to the channel! 🙏🙏🙏
I’ve tried Gris Charnel and Bianco Latte and smelled great!
😲😲😲 That sounds great, too!!!
💛 The only scent I have from Tiziana Tirenzi is Chimaera . It also came in this box which opens up with a presentation that lights up. The bottle is a typical Tiziana Tirenzi bottle, though, no water.
How do you like Chimaera?
You know? I haven't worn it in a long time, I did like it back when. Ha ha. I remember it being a lot more expensive than others out at that time and it was a measly $300! The prices for the line have really gone up. @@VeronicaSays
@@Furriner yes, the retail prices are wild on this line! 😲🥴
I think the standard bottles (like Laudano Nero or Gold Rose Oudh) were something like $120-150 or so when I shopped at Barneys. Or, at least, they were kind of reasonable. Chimaera was a big step up. @@VeronicaSays
Hello Veronica. My V Canto Temptatio’s logo plate came off too when I received it, I understand how you felt….but omg, the juice!!!
The Wednesday bottle is my favorite HOS and I’m also in love with the scent. You described it exactly the same way I feel about it. It’s intriguing, unique and beautiful….so Wednesday 😄 I need to Try HSW X, I have and love the OG. 🥰
Oh no! Sounds like a design flaw with the plate issue! Wednesday is seriously the CUTEST thing ever! Love that bottle. 💖💖💖
70 degrees here, sunny and I’m loving it ☀️ I can’t wait to plant flowers in late march-April 🌺🌸🌼🌷💐🪻🌹🌻
These fragrances sound so good to me.👌 I’ve got my eye on a couple of new perfumes coming out this year, I’ve been laying low until they come out, so I can jump on them. I’m in the mood for sweet , powdery but rich florals 💓💐 I’ve just been craving them. It’s been gloomy for a long time, now it’s sunny and very pleasant 🥰
I love a good 70-something degree day! 💖 I'm going to enjoy the spring line up of fragrances this year. Woohoo! 🥰
@@VeronicaSays me too girl👏 there’s a lot 🥰
I've tried TF Vanilla Sx and didn't work for me. It smelled like a cheap vanilla candle with some camphor. My husband said it smells like the waiting room of a medical clinic..I know many like it, so I hope I don't offend anyone..that is how I perceive it
No offense needs to be taken on fragrance opinions - we are all entitled to our own. Thanks for sharing your experience with Vanilla Love! 🥰
Hale Bopp is so beautiful. I’ll pull it out today we have some snow 🥰
Wonderful! Yes, what a beautiful fragrance! 🥰🥰🥰
💛 I’ve been curious about RM no. 6
Definitely worth sampling, if you can. 👍
Hi Veronica, Perfect timing fragrance twin January fragrance awards. I ❤ watching your reviews. I just received HOS Wednesday today. I purchased it based on the beautiful cupcake and took a chance on the fragrance. The fragrance to me is beautiful too! I do not have anything in my collection that smells the same. Yes, HOS shipping charge will change my thoughts on purchasing more 🧁. 😍
Hiiiii Cynthia!! 💖💖💖 Glad you are loving Wednesday. Oh my goodness, the shipping fee was like 🥴🥴🥴 Sigh.
You've mentioned Boucheron Quatre En Rose a few times in your videos. I luv rose 🌹 and it's time for me to get it😊
Hi Christine! 🥰 If you can find it, grab it. It's a reliable easy go-to fragrance.
💛💛💛💛love your monthly fragrance awards
💖💖💖 thank youuuuu 🙏
Accident a la Vanille Madeleine de Proust made me January list too 😊😊😊
And... Clean Classic (The Original), Prada Candy Night, Dior Hypnotic Poison EDT 2004 batch, Thierry Mugler Innocent, Mancera Velvet Vanilla, Mind Games Queening, & Black Opium Le Parfum. I have not tried Vanilla Sex yet but there is 😬 so much gossip on that one.
House of Sillage gets me with THOSE bottles🤩I'm a big Marvel fan so I have been dying to get my nose on Wonder Woman and The Batman Hero! The bottles are enchanting alone. I owned a sample of Belle d'Opium years ago!
Oh what a list! 💖 I wore Queening, too, although I didn't include it in the fragrance awards. What are your thoughts on it? I think it's lovely. I forgot about that Batman bottle! 😲 So creative!!
@@VeronicaSays Oh girl Queening is my SH*T right now! I can't seem to put it down lately. I do not regret the money. It is creamy, clean, sweet lasts 12 hours on me.💖💥👌💯 Sorry for the slow reply!!!
I love your long videos Veronica 😂❤. Keep em coming. I have melodie di Orientica and love it. I'm keeping my eye out for fleur di orientica also.
Some of my favourites from this month: chloe nomade absolue, L'eau d'Issey the peony one, ILK Devious
Thank you, Anne! How kind of you! 🥰💖 Melodie di Orientica is fabulous also. Love it! Great monthly faves.
Hey Veronica!!❤❤ been waiting for fragrance awards😊
Yay! Thank you so much! 🥰💖🥰💖
That Atlantide bottle is gorgeous 🤍🤍🤍
Yes! I adore it. So pretty!
Hello amiga!! I am so excited here enjoying! Let me get some more coffee ☕️! Sending you hugs 🥰🤗
Hiiii Nadia! Hugs back at you! 💖🥰
lol that story of you and your sister with devotion is so funny. I adore devotion but so many ppl don’t like it. 😂😂
LMBO! She'll never trust my recommendation again 😆
Thank you for sharing Veronica 😊. I have so many that stick out but I'll name 2: Safanad and Fenty.
Thank you! 💖 Would you believe I haven't tried the Fenty one yet 😳
@@VeronicaSays it took me a while to get my nose on it. So many mixed reviews kind of put me off then I got a sample. It's was a no, but I kept going back to it. I love it now, 😂
@@ShenettaM. I've heard several people say the same - they had to come back to it. 👍
Best Everyday, that bottle is so pretty and feminine
It sure is. Very cute! 💖💖💖
That Wednesday bottle is gorgeous
Latonya... it is GORGEOUS! 💖🥰
💛 Oops. I think I jumped the gun and bought Vanilla Love after you talked about it in a video. It's okay, but it didn't live up to my expectations either. I'm envious of that cute Wednesday cupcake, but I didn't love it off the sample card. Wonder Woman on the other hand is amazing IMO! I've definitely fallen down the cupcake rabbit hole. I just wish they gave samples instead of those dumb sample cards.
Wonder Woman IS amazing! Really good. I feel validated to hear about your Vanilla Love experience. I would recommend it for folks looking for an easy going subdued vanilla. It's just not the spicy dream for me that some folks experience.
Love these award videos ☕️
Thank you, Frances! 💖🥰
