    I enjoyed this video 😉 I’m glad you sampled a lot of these before buying. Since I have 4,5 & 6 I’ve been wanting to try more from the Rosendo Mateu house. I May try 2 based on your description. Sounds like a nice spring/summer freshie 👍🏼

      Hi Denise! 💖 Sampling is expensive but can be a fun way to try a lot for a little. I just placed my next order of 20 samples and am already excited to try them! 😂 Rosendo Mateu came to sweep it all. That lineup is really, really GOOD! 💖🥰

    I tried Cherry Punk a couple of weeks ago and came to the same conclusion - when my Lost Cherry runs out, I'm getting that one instead. It's edgier, lasts longer and costs a third 👌.
    I recommend you try another two fragrances from Liquides Imaginaires: Blanche Bête (a floral, lactonic semi-gourmand fragrance with just a hint of incense) and Dom Rosa (a cool, rose petals & champagne 🍾 scent).
    Love your videos and your sense of humor ♡

    I love these types of videos from you😍😍. I sampled Sandalsun in early December and thought it was very light, I was expecting more oomph from it🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️. I have a sample of Desert Suave and it pulls quite masculine on my skin🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️. RM no 3 is nice but will not be adding it to my collection😱😱. Cherry Punk, oh dear, this one I go back and forth with it🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️. The opening is glorious but the dry down I keep getting more and sometimes less leather🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️. I can’t wait to receive my RM no6 sample🤩🤩. If anyone is interested Rafinad has a 20% off sale this weekend on their Rosendo Mateu etc, fragrances 🤩🤩. Awesome video as always🤩🤩
    Stay gorgeous🥰🥰.

    I got a tiny 1ml of Dancing Light by Olfactive Studio before Christmas and it wasn't enough to get a good idea of lasting power. So I bought an 8ml decant. I'm loving it, but if I continue to love it and get through it, only then I will get a 50 or 100ml. This is how I wanna go about perfumes this year.

    Great review........not too long, love the diversity of frags.
    You probably already know;
    TF's 2023 new releases (two are cherry centric) I think are large 200 ml's, selling for $300+(?)!! . One has received less than stellar reviews so far.
    If one can afford them, go for it, but there are so many choices today.

    I was in Burlington looking for a blanket and when I went to check out, I saw a perfume I'd never heard of but it didn't look like it belonged there. I looked it up and it has great reviews so I grabbed it. It's really lovely... Tobacco & Tonka Bean by Banana Republic. It's a skin scent for sure, definitely leans feminist but I'd love it on a man. I wish it had better projection but for what I paid, no problem! It's so warm, cozy and smooth. Not a ton of tobacco but it's there. The plum, vanilla and Tonka are wonderful together. 💜

It’s so pretty ! 🧺☀️🤍🫧
    Lately I’ve been wanting to get a sample of Duchessa, I’ve heard Elizabeth Grace talk about it so much on TikTok, it does sound beautiful! I have a sample of Cherry Punk, but it’s a little bit too cherry cherry for me, I like a little more depth. Then again, I can only smell the cherry in Venom of love, I don’t get any of the chocolate- maybe my nose is so sensitive to cherry that it overpowers and obliterates any other notes? 🤷🏻‍♀️ ..which is why I thought Duchessa might be good for me, the supporting notes would hold up and not let the cherry take over.. maybe?

    I love this series Veronica ❤ so much fun.
    I’ve tried a few in this set.
    Iris Celadon - crackly aldehydes with soapy Iris and leather with a sprinkle of cocoa. Intriguing. I bought a decant. Within 2 wears was in love. Hunted down a bottle - I get lots of sillage but not loud on the skin. Delightful.
    Desert Suave. Gorgeously fruity (dried fruits/sweet tobacco and light woods) reminded me some of Rouge Sâray…liked it.
    I have a bunch from LI that I want to try. Blanche Bête was awesome rice pudding without being sickly sweet.
    I bought Fleur de Sable (salt on the wind, warm skin and a light fruity rose overlaid with crunchy amber) - my brother loved it and stole sprays.
    Dom Rosa is current sample. Very interesting herbal sparkling beverage. Not made my mind up yet. But unique.
    Al Contrario was a no. Felt like missing/muted notes. Biscuity with a touch of lemon…meh. Francesca Dell’Oro OneMore does it better.
    Cherry Punk is interesting, trying in summer may not be fair. It burns off fast though I like it. It feels light even with the black leather. Not a massive cherry fan and (unpopular opinion) don’t rate Lost Cherry - over priced and under performing.
    I’m a no to coffee. I love to drink it and smell the real thing. But to strong a coffee note (same with caramel/toffee notes) makes me feel queasy. Only one I have in my collection is an ancient bottle of BN9 New Haarlem.

    I’m telling you, often when folks are describing perfumes they don’t like, I’m adding to my wish list! Gasoline and vanilla?!? I’ve got to try. For me it could go either way though. Fahrenheit, famously had a gasoline note and I’m intoxicated by it. Add vanilla?!? Could work.
    I have Dark Lord in my collection because of you and it is so stirring and compellingly radiant and dark! Maybe even raunchy? Upscale raunch though, high brow!
    Obviously I have to take a visit to the underworld now.

    Hi Veronica. I'm "a real one" 🤗
    I think the cherry in Cherry Punk is fabulous but to me, unfortunately, its 50% cherry and 50% leather and that made me realise I don't like leather! If the leather was more like 10% or 20% I'd probably love it. I must be in the minority as all the you tube fragrance reviewers have raved about it 😕

    Hello lovely Veronica,
    thanks for sharing all your latest adventures in sampling with us.
    From your list the only one I have tried and blind bought earlier this month was a 50 ml of Hermetica Sandalsun. I saw it on Joss's collection video and was curious about what an oil based perfume would perform like. I didn't have any fragrances with hazelnut notes, I like sandalwood and it seemed like a good candidate to venture into the fragrance line. I have to say the long list of fragrance notes didn't all become apparent in my wearing of it. It does start for me with a strong toasted hazelnut and then not too long after (on my first wear at least) made me think of popcorn and then after a little while longer I think of coconut but it could be a mix of the vanilla, sandalwood and nuttiness making me think that way. I didn't think of it being overly woody. It felt more gourmand to me. It doesn't project a lot but leaves a close scent bubble and it wears as a skin scent for a very long time on me. I have been using it quite a bit under one of my vanilla fragrances and enjoying it that way too. It has made me wonder if some of their perfumes would be ideal for boosting the longevity of other perfumes. I am curious to try some of their other fragrances to see what they are like. Just because it's novel for me. I haven't ventured into the world of oil perfumery, but it seems to have it's fans.
    It looks like we may see a hot pink bottle hit your shelves soon.
    Thanks again for your video! Have a super day! - Jenn 💛
