      I don’t have any super cheapies but for the summer I have a few Aqua Allegorias that you can find fairly inexpensively on line if you look around, which I’m sure you know.

      Great Video with good Inspiration 😄👍 I haven’t tried any of their Colognes yet but got my Eyes on “Intense Wakening Woods of Scandivia” (obvious Choice being Scandinavian 😜)
      Berdoues have great and inexpensive Colognes as well as Perfumes. I think they are called 1902 😊 And I love Fragonard Colognes, and they do have Samples 👍

    4711 is a traditional German company and the original is a very sentimental fragrance for me as my Grandmother basically used it as medicine. Her room smelled of it as fleeting as it is on skin. I tried the mint one (of course) but it really didn’t last on me although I remember that I found it interesting...

    I just ordered and received a 10 pack of the original Cologne 4711 Cleansing/refreshing towelettes for summer! it's my first time ordering them and I got them to have in my handbag the summer..Sometimes it's so hot and you just want to feel refreshed, you know ? I opened one, and was pleasantly surprised to see how large and thick the towelette was. Will probably order a few boxes to use this summer. Only available in the original scent.

    I wore the og 4711 in high school/college on super hot days, even kept it in the fridge for the extra cool blast. It's huge in Europe so not surprised it's less well known here, but really interested in checking them out. Would love to see your cookies too 😁

  • @homevidomemory
    @homevidomemory 3 года назад +5

    Oh yes, they are fun colognes and inexpensive. We can buy it here in Germany everywhere! I love them! Other colognes that I suggest everybody can try are BIEN ETRE, DURANCE, BERDEOUS 1902 colognes and Le Couvent Botanical colognes ( perfumer is, surprisingly, Jean Claude Ellena) These are all French perfumeries that are quite popular in France and Europe, and may be hard to find in the US, but if you have a chance to order online, it is worth testng them!

    • @Olfactofiles
      @Olfactofiles  3 года назад +1
