    Veronica!😘
    Growing up in New York, we considered summer to be from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
    Now, living in Arizona, we still have 4 seasons:
    1. Not so hot
    2. Hot
    3. Extremely Hot, and…..
    4. Just kill me now!😂😂
    Right now I’m experiencing allergies for the first time in my life! Can’t smell a thing! No point in wasting my fragrances..😢
    I have 3 Montale fragrances (Sweet Vanilla, Vanilla Cake, and Rose Elixir) and 1 Mancera, (Roses Vanille.) I also have travel sprays of Vanilla Absolu, Intense Cafe, and Coco Vanille. They all smell the same. There is some synthetic note in the base of all the fragrances from both houses that I don’t like. It ruins the fragrance for me. I know these are ‘sister’ houses. Something in the DNA turns me off. The first burst is beautiful though….😢
    SO nice to see you today! Have a great weekend!

    • @leahmiranda8359
      @leahmiranda8359 Год назад

      Hi Leah! 💖 As a former New Yorker, I approve this summer message! 😂 Ready for fall! Oh my gosh. That SW heat is unrelenting! Sheesh! And I know what you mean about the Montale/Mancera DNA. You are correct! It doesn't bother me but many don't like it.

      I absolutely Love TF "Soliel Blanc" but it's a bit too musky after the 3rd hour of wear.. it's too bad it dosen't "soften up" a bit more after the 3 hour mark instead of keeping that strong muskiness. That's my only complaint about the fragrance.

BoraBora has to be 1 of my favorite floral fragrances, probably thanks to supporting notes.

    I know the calendar dates of summer, but both my parents were teachers so I will always have the school year as my definition. Recently moved from The Far North to California and am definitely in lighter fragrance mode in these 100 degree days, but do wear my "warm and cozies" to bed still. On the topic of Mandarine Basilic, i wear the original in the daytime and then after it cools down in the evenings, add a spritz of the Forte. I really enjoy them both - but it's Terracotta for the win in my book!

    Hi Veronica,
    The red really looks great on you and reminds me of hibiscus flowers. So pretty!
    You made it though a good number of fragrances over the Summer months. Especially because you spend time testing things out too. I was so curious to see what would come out on top for you. Some I could guess and some were total surprises. I love hearing about what got worn the most from a large collection, because I find it telling about what is genuinely loved. At least for that period of time.
    Thanks for sharing! A great theme and I hope you consider doing it for every season as they come to an end. 💛😊

    I live in Canada so my Summer begins and ends when I want it to! I love wearing lighter scents in the heat but I will wear a lot of tropical scents in the dead of winter. I will deliberately conjure up a vacation state of mind. Arethusia is a perfect example of something that wears well all year round and can give you a warmer weather feel. One of my favourite warm weather scents is Alghabra’s “From the Heart”. It’s uplifting and although I’ll wear it all year round it gives me a lighter feel when the heat is wearing me down. Love your top ten lists.

    • @VeronicaSays
      @VeronicaSays  Год назад +1

      Hi Catherine! 🥰 I'm like you - I wear fragrances of all types all year. I just ordered and received a ton of samples from Alghabra (and purchased a full bottle of Eye of Seven Hills).

    Sounds like you had a good fragrance Summer!😍
    We had a family get together today close to Mont-Tremblant and temperatures were at around 68 degrees, cloudy and windy... Everyone was wearing a jacket. So Fall feels like it's already kind of here... 😭 (Gave away some decluttered fragrances to my nieces.) Got complimented by my cousin on Cruz del Sur II. 😁
    Terracotta is soooo gooood... I liked Lust for Sun as a more floral fresh coconut and Alien Goddess Intense for a heady jasmin and coconut. I think I prefer Dolce Garden in the Spring... It packs quite a punch when I wear it in the sun and heat.
    Freshies: Améthyste l'Éclat, Blue Wisteria, Un Jardin sur le Toît, White Musk (and the new one from Body Shop).
    Others: Dama Bianca, Vele, Cruz del Sur II, Pas ce Soir, La Belle Fleur Terrible, La Dompteuse Encagée, Gardenia Cardamom.

    Happy Saturday Veronica! My frame of reference for seasons vary because I’ve lived in so many different climates but I always default to June through Labor Day as that was what we followed growing up in PA. Have I ever told you your giggle tickles me? Not a bottle suffering from a long night? 😂😂😂 Great summer picks. I used my TF Soliel Blanc body oil all summer because it pairs so well with everything. I do tend to lean on my citrus scents more in summer but it’s been so hot this year I relied more on oils, lotions and potions because everything just seemed cloying to me. For instance I suddenly hated tiare flower?! I’m not sure if it was my allergies or just the heat.🤷🏽‍♀️ Great video as always and I enjoyed it per usual. Now, I’m ready for fall and some cool weather.

    • @VeronicaSays

      Hi Faith! Yes, June through Labor Day was about the same in New York as well. I'm glad my giggle tickles you. Sometimes, when I'm editing, I wonder what I found so funny. 🤷‍♀️ Couldn't tell you, but I rather be joyful than too serious, right? About tiare flower - you're not alone! Isn't is weird how we grow in and out of love with certain notes or accords from season to season and year to year? That's why the fragrance hobby keeps me on my toes! You never know.

    Hello Veronica, Relatively new subscriber here & 1st time commenting. I always enjoy your informative info. I have learned about so many brands that I have never even heard of. I have never shopped from JomaShop but I have read negative reviews. Please tell us about your experience with them. Have you had any issues? Was everything you purchased legitimate & fully filled? I see they have very good prices. I am loving DG Garden, Mugler Eau Crosciere, Mancera Cocoa Vanille, & Holidays& Guerlain Nettare di Sole. Recently purchased Olympea, (guess I was late to the game with it) as I really enjoy it. I live in a year round warm climate so I'm always into the tropical notes.😊

    • @VeronicaSays
      @VeronicaSays  Год назад

      Hi and welcome to the channel! 🥰 You are never late to the fragrance game - if it's good, it endures through the trends! Regarding Jomashop, I shop with them literally every month. The key is to see whether the fragrance is in stock or will take time to ship (tells you on the listing). Some people get disappointed with long shipping waits but the site tells you how long it will take for the item to ship. Jomashop maintains a warehouse but also has an extensive partner network to source their fragrances. So, for the low prices they offer, it's worth it to me to wait sometimes. Other times, the item ships the next day if it's in their warehouse. I've received nothing but authentic products - they are guaranteed. Sometimes people claim they received a fake when in reality they have no idea what they're talking about or looking at but they tell a convincing story. 😒 I always take those claims with a grain of salt. Hope this helps.

    • @mztango

Plus it has a touch of that weird thick oily DUA note in it which makes it an immediate NO 🤢 👎 That notes drives me crazy - how they are charging $60/1 FL OZ for fragrances that smell so rank... but then I find some of their fragrances are so damn good so I keep trying them lol🤦‍♀️ smh.
