Thank you for making these videos! I love perfume, especially gourmand, and I've bought many samples and some full bottles based on your helpful reviews. Take care!
No one ever talks about Acqua Di Parma Mandorlo! It’s so delicious! I bought a 1 ounce bottle to try it then immediately went back and bought the 5 ounce bottle!
Great list! Every blue bottle of Acqua di Parma I’ve tried I’ve adored. Maybe I should sniff out the rest?! So glad you’re getting checked out, and that it seems minor! 🙏🩷
Glad to hear you saw the doctor and fingers crossed it all resolves soon. I love your suggestions. So many new ones to try. I wear gourmand scents all year round (and I live in a very hot subtropical climate). I really enjoy 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods. It’s a beautiful vanilla scent underpinned by soft sandalwood. It’s cozy and comforting without being too heavy. I also love Burberry Goddess. Such a great perfume!
Maria, your beautiful smile and contagious laughing are the cherry on top of the cake of your videos. 🍰Happy to hear your symptoms are mild, I’ll pray for you 🙏🙏🙏
I’m glad you’re feeling better ❤❤❤ Not all of us love gourmand. As a retired pastry chef I don’t ever want to smell like vanilla sugar chocolate etc. I spent so many hours trying to remove that smell. The exception is some subtle fruits. I think that’s why I am drawn to the masculine or unisex fragrances. I know that most people who ever worked in the industry, probably feel the same!
I totally hear you! Honestly, I have to be in the mood for them. Lately I’ve been gravitating towards fresher stuff…less sweet. My major love right now is DeLirius by Renier…unbelievable. Smells like a spring rain walks by you…ethereal but grounding and it smells Uber lux!
Another lovely video. Gourmand lovers must gourmand, even in spring🥐 🍰 🍭. So glad you’re keeping on top of your well being. I myself find guided body scan meditation really helpful for relaxing the body regardless of what level of physical or mental wellness I’m at. Relaxing and resting is a key part of healing for sure, in my experience. Sending you much love and healing, beautiful Maria 🙏🏽❤️.
I'm SOOO glad you're getting a CT scan just to make sure! I have Multiple Sclerosis & my first symptoms were alot like yours. Better to be safe than sorry & I will be praying for you! Thank you for soldiering through & doing another video! They are so helpful & truly enjoyable but please take care of yourself first & foremost! We can wait! 😉 😊 Have a blessed weekend! Ginger
@@leeshaolivier9298 It's the most common neurologist condition in women....just often misdiagnosed for years before getting the right diagnosis. That's why any woman with neurological symptoms like Marie has should get a Brain MRI just to be on the safe side. Early treatment is key as I'm sure you also know. Hope you are doing well!!
@@mariacollettlife Well if it comes back inconclusive don't settle for that answer. I was misdiagnosed for over 5 years until a M.S. Specialist saw me & did all the right tests. M.S. symptoms come & go too so it tricks you into thinking you had a bug or it was some fluke....but it always comes back just in different ways. Just don't give up until you know in your heart that you have the right diagnosis. Im wishing you the very best!
For anyone who needs to hear this, sometimes brain MRI’s are not enough to find MS plaques. Though they’re far from routine, spinal MRI’s exist and can be ordered when MS seems highly likely but brain MRI’s are “normal’. (Source: I’m an eye doctor who often sees the first signs of MS, presented as optic neuritis.)
Mandorlo is beautiful. I picked up a bottle I found on a random awesome sale. It’s absolutely a happy, sweet, sticky scent but has some airy qualities to keep it from being too much.
I don't know why, but Bacio Nella Pioggia by Como Lake smells like drinking ginger ale in a pine forest even though there are no ginger notes in it. But to my nose it smells very much like bubbly ginger ale before the Canadian pine and cedar notes waft in.
I find BonBon by Viktor and Rolf to be just light enough to wear in Spring and cool Summer nights, as well. I do with BonBon Couture was still around, though. ☺
I just put away for the season, sugared leather, princess, and goddess, lol. I'm ready for summer and headed to Palm Springs, so I brought out terracotta, lust for sun, and hibiscus palm. Now I'm rethinking for when I get back and more springy weather.
Hi Maria….I am glad you are better funny I was going to say mild Bells Palys but did not want to scare you. ❤ I love the Le Chaboud fragrances they are amazing! I’m glad you did this I always put away my gourmands because I feel they are fall fragrances but they are my favorites! thanks for the suggestions!!!
Lol you have me researching Mandorlo di Sicilia Acqua di Parma. I had to come back to say that. I"m not a fan of black licorice, but I absolutely. LOVE an anise note in fragrance! I'm so intrigued! Love gourmands year-round but they're somewhat tricky to find for warm weather. I really appreciated this video!
Ah man, Zucchero Filato is . . . and I don't say this often, it makes me nervous to make the commitment for some reason, but it is one of my top five. So yummy and Delizia di Marshmallow is just above it. I didn't like either at first because all I got was candle wax, but after they set for about a month, they were perfect.
Jany is totally gourmand and amazing but to me it’s a bit too much for spring and summer…if you go light on the sprays it would be fine. It’s delicious!!

I know!! It’s just fantastic!
I love it too ❤❤❤ It’s the perfect airy fragrance for those who don't like or don't want to wear citrous perfumes during the Spring and Summer
I'm so glad you saw a doctor. You had a worried, girl! 💗💗💗
Great list! Every blue bottle of Acqua di Parma I’ve tried I’ve adored. Maybe I should sniff out the rest?!
So glad you’re getting checked out, and that it seems minor! 🙏🩷
So sorry to hear you were ill. Glad to hear it's a very mild case. Happy you are much better.

Thanks so much!!! I have wondered about the MS as well so I’m really glad I’m going for the CT!

I am glad you are doing okay now. Stay well!
I’ve been wearing kayali yum pistachio, kilian princess, lira, dolce amalfi 😊😊 also devotion and Burberry goddess
All fantastic!!
Glad to hear it's not too serious! ❤
I will be praying for you! And when I say that, I really mean it❤️
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. 💕

Oh my goodness that sounds amazing!!
Glad you're being taken care of 🎉
I love that perfume markers are bringing yummi stuff for summer as well hehehe
Great video🎉

I just got my order from Dua, the Sweet lemon pastry, and it was so good! Will be wearing her so much for spring❤
It’s amazing!!!!

Actually, Sunyata from untamed perfume said the same thing!! I’m glad it’s not dropping. It’s uncomfortable but manageable!
Please look after yourself Maria
I just can’t do devotion it kinda makes me ill
Goddess is gorgeous

Glad to hear it. This is definitely not black licorice- milder and warmer than that…😀
I love chronic rouge extreme. The cinnamon in it makes it so unique to me.
I agree!
It makes me happy everytime you pop up Dolce Amalfi on the screen Maria! 💛🧡💛🧡💛🧡
YUSSSSSS! So good!
Wishing you lots of love and healing missy. 😊
Dolce almafi is delicious 😋 😍 👌🏻
Oh lets see what you got
I'm so glad you went in🤗
Dolce Amalfi 🤤

I need to get delizia- I agree- they are gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing
New subbie. Love your videos
Thank you so much!! 💕💕 I’m glad that you are enjoying the content 😀

You are so welcome
Sugar leather reminds me of mandorle with cinnamon instead of cherry
Now I want to pull out mandorle!!
@@mariacollettlife Let me know what you think
Your smile muscles and... you know... your jaw muscles. Hee hee!! Sorry, I just had to! 😘🥰
Try the carnivore diet!!! It might help it!!! ❤ Watch on RUclips! xx
I second this, I've been on it two years.
JANY 😮 is gourmand or not😢
Jany is totally gourmand and amazing but to me it’s a bit too much for spring and summer…if you go light on the sprays it would be fine. It’s delicious!!
@@mariacollettlife on my skin for Spring&Summer best Gourmand is Manos Gerakinis (MEOEXIS)🥰
Thanks for sharing ❤
