Aww Sharida, I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Thank you for being transparent about trying therapy and for the therapeutic scents. There is nothing like losing a parent (that you’re close to) so it’s important to do things to help your mental and emotional well-being. Sending much love to you. 💕
I’m so sorry Sharida. I lost my oldest daughter ( she was 19 years 12 days old when she passed) and my mom 10 months apart 4 years ago. There is definitely a comfort and power in fragrance. And RUclips fragrance videos have been a great escape and outlet for me and I thank you and the fragrance community ❤God bless you 🙏🏻
I knew about the loss of your daughter and I am so very sorry you had to experience this along with the loss of a parent and is such a short period of time. My prayers are with you Wendy. Thank you for sharing this with me beautiful. 💖
@@SharidaM As I’m praying for you!🙏🏻Thank you for providing a healthy outlet for myself and I’m sure many more. These videos give me pure joy and escape from everything ❤️✨
I lost my dad in 2010 and I bought a bottle of his aftershave and sprayed it on His shirt. Whenever I want to feel close to him I spray his shirt and inhale his favourite aftershave. It makes me feel like he’s still there ❤
Beautiful video Sharida ❤, I recently lost my dad as well. His favourite scent was Bleu Turqoise by Armani and it became my mom’s signature scent:). For comfort, I’ve been reaching for Loubirouge, Orchidee Vanille, Father Figure, Abrakaadabra and Changing Constance. It’s going to be a period of deep reflection and adjustment in the coming months. Be kind to yourself, he’s so proud of you:)
I am so sorry you are also going through this Kassie. I pray for you and your mom. Now when I look at my bottle of Bleu Turquoise I will always think of you :) 💞 Thank you for this beautiful comment.
I lost my dad two years ago. I feel everything you are going through. I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. God is with you and will help you heal over time and your father is watching over you always ❤
My therapy fragrance is Elizabeth Arden Green Tea 💚 I know it’s a classic but my mother gave it me at like 22. She stills loves it and I love it know. The notes make me feel calm and less anxious. I’m wishing you much success in your healing journey.
I'm so sorry about your loss Sharida. I know how you feel. Last year I lost my mom (she was 51) and that is how I started getting into perfume. It's my therapy. I tried depression medicine but decided to stop and just found comfort in buying perfume! Thank you for this video girl
My grandmother is in cardiac ICU with advanced heart failure. It’s been really hard to get through these days. Unknown Pleasures, Buontalenti, Dulce Diablo, Eau Duelle have been on my neck lately. Something about a sweet gourmand that makes me feel like things will be okay. I’m sorry for your loss, Sharida. My heart is with you.
Still keeping you in prayer! I lost my mom 4 years ago and it was the greatest pain I have ever felt in my whole life. To know someone who walked this earth with me for 43 years was gone broke me and it triggered a relapse with my depression. And when I’m depressed I shop to make myself feel better (which has been fragrances lately), but that high only lasts for so long and as you said in the video it may be therapeutic but it’s not therapy. So I started therapy at the beginning of the year and it’s one of the best things I have done for myself. Praying that therapy is healing for you mentally and emotionally.
Sharida this video was BEAUTIFUL! As a physician I believe in aromatherapy and also believe in the benefits of therapy. You are such a strong woman and I appreciate you sharing us your vulnerable side. May god bless you sister 🙏🏽❤️
I lost my dad on 1/22/2024 just after you lost your dad .. very very unexpected and at 48 it was also my first substantial loss … as a nurse I am forever questioning what did I miss . I pray everyday the pain will subside … it bugs me when people say time heals .. time doesn’t heal … time merely passes . I have also been in therapy and that helps substantially. I love fragrance but just started the journey this past October 2023 .. my friends are telling me that while grieving I should stay away from fragrance because I may associate a particular fragrance with his passing . But scents indeed bring me comfort . My dad’s service is this Saturday and I’m stuck on what to wear although I’m told to wear nothing … my cozy perfumes are Bianco latte . Angel share .. van 28 , Dama Bianca, roses Vanille Amore cafe .. escapade gourmand…mfk gentle fluidity gold sharida do you have any suggestions ?
Thank you for this video...Praying for you. I lost my daddy 12 years ago and still...🙏🏼❤️. My comforting scents right now are Blanche Bete, Paragon, Lost in a Dream, and Kilian Straight to Heaven.
Yesterday was the anniversary of my mom’s passing. It hit hard yet again. So, this came right on time. Amouage Sunshine both lifted my spirits and reminded me of her. ❤
As a counselor and losing my father on Oct 7th,2023…. I really resonate with this video 🤍 I love fragrance and advocate for mental health and I love how you connected the two. Fragrance definitely is not therapy but helps me cope with loss and grieve. I pray that you continue on your healing journey.
Thank you so much for this beautiful message Jaylene. I am so so very sorry for your loss. I hope that you finding some peace as I know it is so difficult and the grief will always be there. We just learn to make more room for it as time does on. Sending you love and light beautiful.
Getting into perfume brought me back to life. 2020 broke me into 1,000 pieces. From the world to personal trauma, all magic was gone for me. Prior I had never worn perfume ever. I started getting into perfume & it lifted me up in ways therapy couldn’t (not a replacement for therapy lol). But it made me excited to get out of bed each day & match a fragrance to my plans or outfit or mood. Or excited to try a new fragrance. Besides the fact that smelling things that smell good is just…nice. Society ignored the power of the senses often I think & mainly the sense of smell is ignored!
I just lost my step dad Friday, I still feel like I cant breath some days. But scent memory or just feelings they can create is and will always be something i will be thankful for so this video couldn’t have come at a better time. Pain like this I dont wish on anyone 💔
Like many here, a chokehold depression was how I got into after my dads loss in 2021. The impact of different perfumes, aromatherapy on moods and mental health is insane. When self-care was at a lowest point, I looked forward to bathing due to the fact that I knew I had a wonderful scent to spray on after. The fragrances that did that to me during that time was a sample of Meliora I received
Just like you I also recently suffered my first tremendous loss with the passing of my father , there is nothing that prepares you for it, grief is all the love we have for that person and no where to put it. Wishing you better days ahead 🫶🤲
Sharida, thank you for this video . I pray that the Lord wrap you in love comforting your heart and soul. I know there are no words to express the loss of a parent and the mental and emotional affect it has on every area of your being. Like losing the ground beneath your feet. 2 years after the loss of my mother, I realized the smell of Jasmine and of Lavender activated a calmness and comfort that reminded me of my Mother. I agree. Fragrances can be extremely therapeutic.
Thank you for this Erika. I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I am glad you too can turn to scent as a means of comfort.💞 Praying for your comfort and well being beautiful.
You are still in my prayers sweet Sharida. Navigating grief and loss is so,so difficult and I truly admire that you are sharing your journey. May God continue to bless you, comfort and keep you.
Fragrance is absolutely aromatherapy. I too, suffered the loss of my father and just when I thought I was healing I lost my brother. I completely understand where youre coming from because even the scent I wore at their funerals is everlasting. On a brighter note, Scherzo was my very first Oud it is a lasting memory of you, along with Mahni Cassonade
HI Sharida, I am so sorry for your loss. Seeing you like this makes me sad as well. I am glad you can find comfort in your perfumes. Your friends, family and relatives will get you through this. It is the part of life we don't want to experience, but there is nothing we can do. Feel better, beautiful woman!
I pray for comfort, healing, peace and I pray that God would restore to you everything that the locust and cankerworm have eaten/stolen from you. May God give you beauty for ashes Sis. Peace be with you and your family.
Sharida, I'm so sorry about the loss of your dad. I understand that pain, unfortunately. I lost my mom on 11/30/23. I had purchased her a bottle of Origins Ginger Essence (an old signature of hers, long discontinued) last summer with plans to gift it to her for Christmas. Well, she was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor on 10/24/23 and passed on 11/30/23. I never got to give it to her but I did tell her about it when she was still able to talk and hear and it made her happy. This is also my first significant loss and I'm 45. She was only 69. I've never felt pain like this before. I'm so sorry that you had to go through the same thing. There are no words. ❤💜
I have a sample of Kerosene but I guess I have to wear it around folks to judge. My mother passed four years ago and it’s a pain that’ll never fade. You learn to live with the loss but the memories are there and those bring happy tears. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Praying for you. These things are tough and it takes a while to recovery. I’m just praying for your peace and comfort in the next leg of your journey. ❤
Thank you for your beauty and trust in us to post a different, personal video soo many of us can identify with 💞 praying for your daddy’s soul in heaven and for your grieving process! 🙏🏼
I’m so sorry for your loss. This is not different at all. I went through the same thing and as human we tend to gravitate towards good things that will help comfort us in our darkest days. This was my coping mechanism too. Thank you for putting out this video.
I really appreciate this video, and my heart goes out to you . I lost my grandmother on Christmas, and like you said, you find everything to try and cope .
Sharida I am sending my deepest condolences and prayers to you and your family. I am so sincerely sorry for the loss of your dad. Watching you talk about Mahni Cassonade broke me. I am SO sorry for your loss. I can't say it enough. 🙏🏽😪❤️
Everybody experiences grief differently & finds comfort in a multitude of ways. This was an amazing video 🤎 I appreciate your vulnerability and will keep you in my prayers
Thank you for being vulnerable on such a public platform. A lot of us struggle with this so privately I hope you keep finding comfort during this time! ❤
True that about a perfume putting you in a different mindset. Your loss is immense and I can’t fully understand it yet! But it’s coming for all of us. Much love to your family and you ❤
Push through beautiful I’m praying for you I’ve been watching from the beginning and I can feel the hurt through this video. You have a angel watching over you
Stay strong. I'm glad you talking with a therapist because grief can be insidious and disruptive. I'm a psych nurse so I know quite a bit about grief and what it can do if you don't get the appropriate help. Thanks for spreading the qord as well cause there are so many people out there who don't seek the help they need. My top most therapeutic perfume is Roses Vanille. I don't know what it is about it but it's my go to. I'll never be sick of it. I have all the ones you mentioned today but I don't have the new Geurlain one, so I add it to my list. I need to give my pocket a break first😅. All the perfumes you mentioned are phenomenal, and I love them all so much.
My deepest condolences to you Sharida. I will be keeping you and your daughter in prayer as you grieve. Thank you for being an advocate for therapy and taking care of our mental health while still finding comfort in scents. ❤❤
Sharida 💞💞💞 my heart and positive energy go to you! Thank you for sharing and I am so sorry you went through this. Totally agree with your thoughts on therapy. PS: Last weekend I recorded a video “fragrances better than pills” but could not get myself to edit it… When I saw your thumbnail 😱
Thank you Georgia. I was afraid of doing this topic as well, but now so happy I put it out there. I would love to see yours. It will probable help so many people.
I again sorry for your loss. I came on this video for insight because I just lost my dad last week. I was also sick so I don’t know what’s going on but I’m hoping I find fragrances that gives me comfort. Thanks for this.
Wow! This video was meant for me to watch. I recently lost my dad about a year and a half ago and my best friend in the past year. It's been really rough and I found that wearing perfume lifts my mood a bit as a depression sufferer. I appreciate you being open doing this video! You have a new subscriber and praying for you.🙏
My sincerest condolences. 🫂 The fragrance that soothes my soul is Tokyo Blue because it reminds me of my grandfather. When I'm having a bad day, a warm sweater & Tokyo Blue. It smells just like my grandfather.
Definitely, fragrance impacts my mood and can be therapeutic. I tend to go for musky scents or milky ones for comforting. But sometimes a heavy sirupy vanilla also does the trick. Or Insolence from Guerlain. ❤
Sorry for your loss🙏🏾🌹🙏🏾🌹. Both of my parents are gone.🙏🏾🌹🙏🏾🌹...it my FAITH in Christ I'm still standing. Because of you I love Blanche Bete is ALL things. I did pick up a sample of your fragrances Mahni Cassonade is beautiful 🤩😍🤩. its on my list!!..I also love my Velvet Tonka by Bdk. ❤
So sorry you’re having a trying time this period. I just lost a family member on Monday and it’s been a rough week mentally for me so I can’t even imagine losing a parent. Sending much hugs, love and light your way 🤗 ❤
Goodness you've got me tearing up on my lunch break. Best believe, as strange as I guess it is, you truly have subbies out here just feeling your pain and praying for you. Appreciative that you are still able to share your love of perfumery with us during a tough time. ❤
I am sorry for your loss. I lost my father in 2004 to brain cancer. He raised me by himself from me being 9, and I was an only child. It was extremely difficult.
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. It's the hardest thing, but I think you're absolutely right about perfume being uplifting. I have the Unknown Pleasures & it's one of my absolute favorites. I think it's the Earl Grey in it that is so calming. I'm really loving your neutral pallette today. It's so perfect & classy & your skin tone loves the peachy lip.❤
Sharida, I can’t put into words how much this video means to me. Literally felt every single word that you said in the intro. You’re in my prayers. Fragrances helped get me out of a dark place and will always hold a special place in my heart ❤️
I really enjoyed this video!! I can totally agree with you that Another 13 is so very comforting but in such an indescribable way; it truly IS a musk masterpiece! Another fragrance I like to wear to help me when I’m down is Fleur de Peau by Diptyque. I wanted to say that you’re in my thoughts sweet lady and I’m sending a virtual hug to you with my condolences 💐 🫂 💕 🙏🏽
My sincere condolences Sharida. I empathise. I’ve been there . May his soul rest in peace. I find vanillic fragrances soo comforting. For me even after a rough day at work ( I am an OBGYN) ! My faves are Nebras , Mahni C and Casablanca ❤. After a rough day and a long refreshing shower 🙏🏽
Prayers and love for the heavy days 🙏🏽 May the good times bring a smile to your face. I got scherzo on a blind buy bc of your recommendation and I love it!! Reminds me of delina the og, a little bit. ❤ Thx for sharing these scents with us!
Thank you for this video. It’s aligned to what I am going through. My dad passed earlier this month and I actually joined Betterhelp that week. It has been helpful. Valaya and Rehab have been my comfort scents lately. Please take care 🙏🏾💕
What a nice video. I just received a somewhat older bottle of Aromatics Elixir I purchased because it was my mom’s signature scent and sometimes I just wanna sniff it in the air ya know??? Let me tell you, when I opened the package yesterday and put a little on my wrist…girl, the emotions! I really miss her. I still have one of her partial bottles of Wrappings (reminds me of her when we lived in Colorado) and Calvin Klein Escape (reminds me of her during my elementary school years)! So I understand. ❤
Great video Sharida! I totally understand losing a loved one. I’ve lost both parents and recently before Christmas, my brother and then aunt😔not easy.. but wishing you continued comfort❤
Thank you for sharing Sharida. Your vulnerability is much appreciated. Fragrance can definitely lift moods. Lost cherry reminds me of my mom. No one can prepare you for loss but remembering the good times helps me get through the days I miss my mom terribly. Love you beautiful lady! God bless🙏🏾💕
Aw bless you Sharida. Thank you for sharing so openly and authentically here. Yes, I too use fragrance to provide myself with comfort, however nothing beats talking to a therapist to sort out my thoughts and unconscious stories. Sending you peace X
So sorry for your loss. Positive thoughts and prayers for you. I bought my Mother’s favorite perfume. Sometimes I will spray it and it’s a wonderful memory. ❤
Depression & Anxiety is how I got in to Fragrance in 2021. I’m curating a collection that encourages joy, comfort, confidence & power. No likes, no blind buys… just an exclusive collection of absolute LOVES that make me feel like The Woman of MY OWN Dreams!
Exactly the same for me
I love this so much. TFS sharing with me. 💞
Thank you for saying this. This is what I want for my collection.
Depression and anxiety, here, too.
Continuously praying for you! "Fragrance is therapeutic but it is not therapy". What a timely video, Sharida!!
Aww Sharida, I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Thank you for being transparent about trying therapy and for the therapeutic scents. There is nothing like losing a parent (that you’re close to) so it’s important to do things to help your mental and emotional well-being. Sending much love to you. 💕
I’m so sorry Sharida. I lost my oldest daughter ( she was 19 years 12 days old when she passed) and my mom 10 months apart 4 years ago. There is definitely a comfort and power in fragrance. And RUclips fragrance videos have been a great escape and outlet for me and I thank you and the fragrance community ❤God bless you 🙏🏻
I knew about the loss of your daughter and I am so very sorry you had to experience this along with the loss of a parent and is such a short period of time. My prayers are with you Wendy. Thank you for sharing this with me beautiful. 💖
@@SharidaM As I’m praying for you!🙏🏻Thank you for providing a healthy outlet for myself and I’m sure many more. These videos give me pure joy and escape from everything ❤️✨
I have to agree. Your fragrance is very comforting. So glad your Dad got to see your success.
I lost my dad in 2010 and I bought a bottle of his aftershave and sprayed it on
His shirt. Whenever I want to feel close to him I spray his shirt and inhale his favourite aftershave. It makes me feel like he’s still there ❤
Beautiful video Sharida ❤, I recently lost my dad as well. His favourite scent was Bleu Turqoise by Armani and it became my mom’s signature scent:). For comfort, I’ve been reaching for Loubirouge, Orchidee Vanille, Father Figure, Abrakaadabra and Changing Constance. It’s going to be a period of deep reflection and adjustment in the coming months. Be kind to yourself, he’s so proud of you:)
I am so sorry you are also going through this Kassie. I pray for you and your mom. Now when I look at my bottle of Bleu Turquoise I will always think of you :) 💞 Thank you for this beautiful comment.
I lost my dad two years ago. I feel everything you are going through. I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. God is with you and will help you heal over time and your father is watching over you always ❤
My therapy fragrance is Elizabeth Arden Green Tea 💚 I know it’s a classic but my mother gave it me at like 22. She stills loves it and I love it know. The notes make me feel calm and less anxious. I’m wishing you much success in your healing journey.
I’m so sorry for your loss Sharida. I lost my Dad six years ago and I miss him every day. You are in my heart. ❤
🥹🥹🥹 Oh my God the part about your dad being around to see your fragrance launch. Now we're all crying! 💖
I'm so sorry about your loss Sharida. I know how you feel. Last year I lost my mom (she was 51) and that is how I started getting into perfume. It's my therapy. I tried depression medicine but decided to stop and just found comfort in buying perfume! Thank you for this video girl
My grandmother is in cardiac ICU with advanced heart failure. It’s been really hard to get through these days. Unknown Pleasures, Buontalenti, Dulce Diablo, Eau Duelle have been on my neck lately. Something about a sweet gourmand that makes me feel like things will be okay. I’m sorry for your loss, Sharida. My heart is with you.
I am so very sorry to hear about your grandmother. I am praying for you and your family in this very difficult time. Sending you love 💖

When I tried Santal 33 and another 13, there was no competition, another 13 was the winner for me, it’s amazing.
Sending love. So sorry for your loss. I still can’t believe my Dad is gone and it’s been 4 years. So, take comfort also, that he is always with you ❤️
Continuous prayers. Sending a virtual hug. Fragrances are definitely therapeutic, but not therapy. They give that sense of calm. 🙏🏽
I am praying for your peace and comfort in this very challenging time. ❤
Thank you Jax💞

HI Sharida, I am so sorry for your loss. Seeing you like this makes me sad as well. I am glad you can find comfort in your perfumes. Your friends, family and relatives will get you through this. It is the part of life we don't want to experience, but there is nothing we can do. Feel better, beautiful woman!
I am so very sorry. I lost my dad in November and it is not easy. Big hugs from Richmond.
I pray for comfort, healing, peace and I pray that God would restore to you everything that the locust and cankerworm have eaten/stolen from you. May God give you beauty for ashes Sis. Peace be with you and your family.

Bianco Latte at first I thought it was too senthetic on my skin, but now I am obssesed with it, and I get so many compliments while wearing it 😍
I have a sample of Kerosene but I guess I have to wear it around folks to judge. My mother passed four years ago and it’s a pain that’ll never fade. You learn to live with the loss but the memories are there and those bring happy tears. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Another 13 and Changing constance are my comforting scents. ❤
Eden juicy apple and the new sparkling lychee and tangerine boy are very uplifting fragrances for me
Tangerine Boy is so bright, beautiful and invigorating to me!
Sharida I am sending my deepest condolences and prayers to you and your family. I am so sincerely sorry for the loss of your dad. Watching you talk about Mahni Cassonade broke me. I am SO sorry for your loss. I can't say it enough. 🙏🏽😪❤️
Everybody experiences grief differently & finds comfort in a multitude of ways. This was an amazing video 🤎 I appreciate your vulnerability and will keep you in my prayers
Thank you so much Ebony.
I am so sorry for your loss Sharida. Loss and pain gives us a very unpredictable reaction.
Thank you for being vulnerable on such a public platform. A lot of us struggle with this so privately
I hope you keep finding comfort during this time! ❤
So much love your way 💛
After loosing my Dad I love smelling his Tom Ford Noir Extreme.
I’m glad you have found support.
Big hug
True that about a perfume putting you in a different mindset. Your loss is immense and I can’t fully understand it yet! But it’s coming for all of us. Much love to your family and you ❤
Mahni Cassonade Forever!!! Soooo warm and comforting!! 🙌🏾
Thank you so much🥰
So sorry Sharida. Many blessings to you and your family.
Sorry for your lost. May God bring you peace and comfort 🙏
Hello Sharida. I am so sorry for your loss. I will continue to pray for you and your family for peace and strength.

My deepest condolences to you Sharida. I will be keeping you and your daughter in prayer as you grieve. Thank you for being an advocate for therapy and taking care of our mental health while still finding comfort in scents. ❤❤
Sharida 💞💞💞 my heart and positive energy go to you! Thank you for sharing and I am so sorry you went through this.
Totally agree with your thoughts on therapy.
PS: Last weekend I recorded a video “fragrances better than pills” but could not get myself to edit it… When I saw your thumbnail 😱
Thank you Georgia. I was afraid of doing this topic as well, but now so happy I put it out there. I would love to see yours. It will probable help so many people.
@@SharidaM Thank you, Sharida ❤️👑
I again sorry for your loss. I came on this video for insight because I just lost my dad last week. I was also sick so I don’t know what’s going on but I’m hoping I find fragrances that gives me comfort. Thanks for this.
Bianco Latte is comfort in a bottle
Wow! This video was meant for me to watch. I recently lost my dad about a year and a half ago and my best friend in the past year. It's been really rough and I found that wearing perfume lifts my mood a bit as a depression sufferer. I appreciate you being open doing this video! You have a new subscriber and praying for you.🙏
Hey Sharida 🙋🏾♀️,
Let's see what made the list of fragrances that brings you comfort.. Again, so sorry for your loss
I definitely have to put Bianco latte in my collection I have heard too much about it
My sincerest condolences. 🫂 The fragrance that soothes my soul is Tokyo Blue because it reminds me of my grandfather. When I'm having a bad day, a warm sweater & Tokyo Blue. It smells just like my grandfather.
Definitely, fragrance impacts my mood and can be therapeutic. I tend to go for musky scents or milky ones for comforting. But sometimes a heavy sirupy vanilla also does the trick. Or Insolence from Guerlain. ❤
Sorry for your loss🙏🏾🌹🙏🏾🌹.
Both of my parents are gone.🙏🏾🌹🙏🏾🌹...it my FAITH in Christ I'm still standing. Because of you I love Blanche Bete is ALL things. I did pick up a sample of your fragrances Mahni Cassonade is beautiful 🤩😍🤩. its on my list!!..I also love my Velvet Tonka by Bdk. ❤
Omg. My heart goes out to you. ❤
Thank you Roez!
Praying that God will continue to pour out His grace, comfort, and peace upon you.❤🙏
So sorry you’re having a trying time this period. I just lost a family member on Monday and it’s been a rough week mentally for me so I can’t even imagine losing a parent. Sending much hugs, love and light your way 🤗 ❤
Goodness you've got me tearing up on my lunch break. Best believe, as strange as I guess it is, you truly have subbies out here just feeling your pain and praying for you. Appreciative that you are still able to share your love of perfumery with us during a tough time. ❤
I am sorry for your loss. I lost my father in 2004 to brain cancer. He raised me by himself from me being 9, and I was an only child. It was extremely difficult.
Leesha I can’t even imagine! You two were
probably so close. I am so deeply sorry you had to experience this😔💞
I did just blind buy unknown pleasures because of so many influencers I trust(you being one). Can't wait to get it!!!
Deepest condolences for your loss.. 💙
Thank you!!
Sending prayers for God to give you comfort. 🙏🏿 ❤
What a blessing for your father to be able to see an amazing accomplishment with your fragrance.
Continuously praying for you
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. It's the hardest thing, but I think you're absolutely right about perfume being uplifting. I have the Unknown Pleasures & it's one of my absolute favorites. I think it's the Earl Grey in it that is so calming. I'm really loving your neutral pallette today. It's so perfect & classy & your skin tone loves the peachy lip.❤
This make up look is everything on you! ❤
Sharida, I can’t put into words how much this video means to me. Literally felt every single word that you said in the intro. You’re in my prayers. Fragrances helped get me out of a dark place and will always hold a special place in my heart ❤️
I really enjoyed this video!! I can totally agree with you that Another 13 is so very comforting but in such an indescribable way; it truly IS a musk masterpiece! Another fragrance I like to wear to help me when I’m down is Fleur de Peau by Diptyque. I wanted to say that you’re in my thoughts sweet lady and I’m sending a virtual hug to you with my condolences 💐 🫂 💕 🙏🏽
A fragrance I find warm and cocoon g is Grand Soir by MFK. I don't get the masculine vibe that some ladies talk about.
My sincere condolences Sharida. I empathise. I’ve been there . May his soul rest in peace.
I find vanillic fragrances soo comforting. For me even after a rough day at work ( I am an OBGYN) !
My faves are Nebras , Mahni C and Casablanca ❤. After a rough day and a long refreshing shower 🙏🏽
Therapy is a wonderful thing. My therapist reminds me of a big sis. I'm sending you and your fam so much love. This was a great video❤
What a beautiful video! I'm so sorry for your loss.
Hello beautiful, my condolences to you and your family!!🙏🏾💜🙏🏾
Prayers and love for the heavy days 🙏🏽 May the good times bring a smile to your face. I got scherzo on a blind buy bc of your recommendation and I love it!! Reminds me of delina the og, a little bit. ❤
Thx for sharing these scents with us!
Thank you for this video. It’s aligned to what I am going through. My dad passed earlier this month and I actually joined Betterhelp that week. It has been helpful. Valaya and Rehab have been my comfort scents lately. Please take care 🙏🏾💕
What a nice video. I just received a somewhat older bottle of Aromatics Elixir I purchased because it was my mom’s signature scent and sometimes I just wanna sniff it in the air ya know??? Let me tell you, when I opened the package yesterday and put a little on my wrist…girl, the emotions! I really miss her. I still have one of her partial bottles of Wrappings (reminds me of her when we lived in Colorado) and Calvin Klein Escape (reminds me of her during my elementary school years)! So I understand. ❤
Aromatics was my mums signature scent two. She liked Wrappings but Aromatics was her lifetime love
@@yasmindavidson5171wrappings was my moms switch-it-up scent! I still have her bottle ❤️
Great video Sharida! I totally understand losing a loved one. I’ve lost both parents and recently before Christmas, my brother and then aunt😔not easy.. but wishing you continued comfort❤
We love you Sharida M!❤❤🥰
I find Blanche Bete is comforting as well as Gris charnel😊
You look absolutely stunning today. Omg this look deserve a tutorial 😍😍😍
I love the color of the Eura Gold bottle 💛💛...and because it kinda vibes like Erba Pura, I already love it
I finally got to test Scherzo - it's now selling at Bloomingdales in Dubai Mall. I love it.
Thank you for sharing Sharida. Your vulnerability is much appreciated. Fragrance can definitely lift moods. Lost cherry reminds me of my mom. No one can prepare you for loss but remembering the good times helps me get through the days I miss my mom terribly. Love you beautiful lady! God bless🙏🏾💕
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. Sending you prayers and love. I hope that you are find finding some peace. I know it difficult.
Aw bless you Sharida. Thank you for sharing so openly and authentically here. Yes, I too use fragrance to provide myself with comfort, however nothing beats talking to a therapist to sort out my thoughts and unconscious stories. Sending you peace X
So sorry for your loss. Positive thoughts and prayers for you. I bought my Mother’s favorite perfume. Sometimes I will spray it and it’s a wonderful memory. ❤
