Merry belated Christmas, Mindy!🎄😊 Having fun with family in MN but had to take a little time to catch up on a few missed videos! I loved hearing your ranking of these perfumes… As time passes some of these that I thought I would always love I more ‘like’ now. 🤷♀️ Again I think time really gives us perspective on whether we will wear the fragrance and whether or not we truly like it enough to reach for it enough. Hope you and your family are having an amazing HOLIDAY! 🎄🎄 Can’t wait to catch up with you after all the busy-ness of this month!
Yes! Can’t wait to catch up! The holidays have been fabulous so far and I’m hoping the same for you! Once things settle I’ll send over the list I’ve been keeping so you can check it (this so sounds like a Christmas song. 😂😂). Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on some perfumes! 😊
MERRRRY (belated) CHRISTMAS GOURMINDYYYY❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍 guess what?! i blind bought accident a la vanille after you told me it was like cheriosa 71! i wanted something like that but more vanilla and more concentrated and that’s exactly what it is! i’m absolutely loving the performance and the scent is giving the cream part of the oreo….. soooooooooo freaking creamy and dreamy. i honestly cannot stop thinking about it and it shot up to my top 5 for life! but also creamy vanilla is my MOST fav scent profile and what makes me feel most like myself!
Oh SOOO happy to hear you love it and it makes you feel so good. You are inspiring me to just do it because I want to be able to spray it so bad (I have that little 1mL sample). Thank you for letting me know…this post made my day!! And Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you! Please let me know what other fragrances you find that make you feel this way! So good!!! 😊🤗
Merry Christmas, Paola! I hope you’re doing well! I am wearing Bois Dore today and watched your video last night talking about some of the Van Cleefs! You have me wanting to try Ambre Imperial! 💕
Me too. If nothing else, my fragrance journey taught me I’m really picky!! I can completely relate to you on that. I find that many are way too floral or ‘perfumey’ than I like! 😊
Merry Christmas, Mindy! 🎄Listening while wrapping gifts. :) Oooh, this was another great video - you covered a ton! How would you compare Dua's A Vanilla Affair to Mix:Bar's Vanilla Bourbon? Are they pretty similar or totally different? Differences in longevity? I'm a sucker for the heavy vanillas. 🤗 Also, pink is your color! So pretty! I'm a redhead, and I look dreadful in pink - I'm always envious when I see people who can pull it off! Ha ha!
Awww, thanks! I’m getting paler and paler by the day, so was worried about wearing bright colors! 🤣. I appreciate the sweet words! I’d say A Vanilla Affair is much more rich - it is dense like Spiritueuse Double Vanille. The booziness is definitely more dominant in A Vanilla Affair. With Mix Bars Vanilla Bourbon it’s softer, it’s a more gentle vanilla. The boozy vibe is more subtle, but the oak woodiness is very apparent (in a very smooth way!). From what you described in loving heavy vanillas, I think you may appreciate A Vanilla Affair more. If you ever want me to shoot over a sample of them, I’d be happy to do it! 💕
@@gourmindy6449 Thanks for the info - just barely saw this response as I'm just now having a moment of free time after returning to work following my back surgery. I've been BUSY! Ha ha! I very much appreciate the sample offer - you are so, so kind! I will let you know! I have an order with five different samples coming; if none of them fit the bill for the the vanilla I'm looking for, I will soon be interested in checking out more samples! Ha ha! 🤗 Hope your Christmas was wonderful, Mindy! 🎄
This made me giggle. I’d be so annoyed. 🤣. I like cloud, but if I’m wearing BR540 I wouldn’t want that association. I don’t think they smell that similar, at all, do you?! I could see, though, how someone may get them mixed up. Thanks for sharing…I’ve heard others mention that happening before too!! 😊
Thanks so much for sharing all your feedback darling!!! Happy Holidays!!! Love your video!
Thank you Mona! 🤗😊. Can’t wait to see what Kayali releases in 2022!! ❤️
Merry Christmas Mindy❤️🎄
Merry Christmas, Jenn. I hope it’s an amazing holiday for you. ❤️

i have very specific taste too ahahah I almost only like Sol de Janeiro 62, bare vanilla, la nuit tresor a la folie... I wish I liked more fragrances

I had 540 on the other night when i was out and the bartender asked me if i had on cloud. I was annoyed l. Lol

@@gourmindy6449 i think upon opening they’re a little similar but anyone that knows 540 knows it’s not even on the same level. Seriously…. 😂
How could you even consider buying a fragrance called "God is a Woman??". Even by someone who is killing it with hits. Can you say SHALLOW?
I don’t disagree with you. I personally would’ve preferred a different name.
You used 17 twice😅
Hahaha, I’m just learning how to count. Oops! 😂😂
