I always wonder how vloggers can actually go through their bottles, because I am just a simple soul and I am up to my neck in decants and samples. I hardly ever get to wear anything from my collection. But I do love it. I have a new friend and we have been swapping decants and samples for months. This way I got to smell Disumano by Morph, Bianco Latte by Giardini di Toscana, and K'Bridge Club by Xerjoff, which are all LOVES. And there are so many others that are now on my buy list.
Me too. I may adopt monthly trays to rotate and get through them all. It might help if I stop buying new fragrances, though. Got 2 today and got gifted 3 samples. Sigh😅😅😅
@@VeronicaSays Bianco Latte is right up my alley along with Cafe Cabanel. But I am putting off buying cold weather perfumes, because I won't wear them now anyway. Plus, I just can't stand them in the summer heat. Do you have the same feeling? Disumano can be worn in the summer, though, so do sample!
@@Uzosfoodlabs Lol, I know! But I just can't help myself. I can usually control myself, but when crazy deals and sales come up, I am spending my money hehehe Today they had an Amouage sale and they had Guidance for 144 euros!. I wouldn't blind buy that one, but that goes to show how one could not resist.
Good morning! Just love your personality. You’re beautiful and smart, but also seem down to earth and not at all full of yourself. My Coccobello finally arrived. I LOVE it! So beautiful. Longevity is better than I thought it would be.
The Central Park West bottle 😂😂😂 reminds me of Clueless with that houndstooth pattern and you have the one with the necklace. Very circa 80’s 90’s. My hubby loves the way it smells in me also ❤
I used to work for Bond No9, Gold Coast is the expensive Chloe by Chloe Eau de parfum,imo, loll and my clients said that as well, everytime they spray it on, it is very beautiful and long lasting!!
Yes, everything you've said is true for Draco. It deserves more love that one. I really like it cause it smells posh, interessting and it lasts long time. Perfect for this season! ❤
You’re super entertaining Miss Veronica! You made me laugh for the most part of the video, love your reaction to Leisure in Paradise, just starting to explore Simone Andreoli (I only have Sunplosion and Vicebomb) and my next ones will be Malibu and Leisure, because of you😊 For months and months of testing Guidance, because I just really wanted to love it (I have a decant from Scentsplit), and each time I felt that it’s not for me, it’s not for me, it’s not for me. Well last night, was the first time I wore it at work (and I work in the hospital). I really wore it, not just the usual testing it on my skin. I have to admit it’s growing on me, especially because I’ve gotten so many compliments. I’m so glad I gave it a chance. ❤️
Thank you very much, Marie! 💖🥰 Simone Andreoli is a fun house to explore. Guidance definitely leaves a trail - I am not surprised you got compliments. 👍👍👍
I love that you get so happy and animated smelling some of these perfumes because that’s exactly how I get when I find a new obsession. && Bond No 9 is one of my favorite houses but some of the bottles are hit or miss. They’re either sheek and cute or just over the top extra gaudy
“Alright, okay…. okay, Alright” 😁 Never heard of Libertine… 🧐 Will need to read a little bit about that one… Btw, i need to give my Vanextasy sample a try and really wear it 😍❤️
Hey Veronica...like I always say about your videos-you bring so many fragrances to the table that I don't hear other YTers talking about and it's one of my favorite things about your channel. I have not smelled any of these 😮! That's a first! For May, my most worn have been: For The Scent Of It "Gardenia Colada", Jovan "White Musk" (just rediscovered it and remembered why I loved it long ago), Kyse "Cocco A La Vaniglia", Yosh "Ginger Ciao", Dreamhouse Ikiryo "Candyman", Mancera "Velvet Vanilla", Pearlescent "Aquarose", Ganache Parfums "Mango Lassi", DUA "Cocoalicious" and DUA "World's Best Key Lime Pie". Thanks for another great video!!
Hi Jackie! 💖 Thank you so much! I love the variety in perfumery - literally THOUSANDS of options! You've got quite a lineup there - glad to see White Musk among the choices! I didn't enjoy sampling Ginger Ciao, unfortunately. 😩
🙋🏽♀️ I’m one of the Gold Coast detractors. I still love the scent, think the bottle is gorgeous and totally got the Delina La Rosee similarity (and I also love Delina La Rosee). BUT it’s easily among my worst performers. I think I get roughly 2 hours (3.5 if I douse myself) before it’s so faint that I’m so far in my arm to smell anything that it looks like I’m about to cry. I did get it on discount but it was still expensive and for the price I find that level of performance ridiculous. Scent of Peace, which is also a lighter scent, is also in my collection and does just fine. So I know Bond can pull off a light scent that’s still there, but for some reason it just didn’t happen with my bottle of Gold Coast.
Awww sorry to hear that. People were still smelling it on me much later in the day. I love it! But I understand. I got my bottle for super inexpensive too (compared to the retail). Thanks for sharing your experience! 💖💖💖
Such an interesting mix - thanks for another great video! I really need to try Guidance again. I didn't love my sample, but I hear you when you talk about how samples can be unreliable, so maybe I'll try it again from another source. I'm in love with that bottle, so I want to love the fragrance too ;) 100% agree with you about Gold Coast. I got a sample ages ago and really liked it, but held off buying it due to low reviews convincing me it was going to disappoint in the end. I pulled out my High Line a few weeks ago when the weather warmed up. I hold a happy memory of visiting High Line with a friend, so it makes me smile every time I wear it!
Thank you! 💖 Yes, give Guidance one more go and see what you think. Tell me about High Line. I also have some happy memories of the walkway! I've looked at the bottle many times. 🥰🥰🥰
@@VeronicaSays High Line reminds me a bit of YSL's Baby Doll- that sharp fruity floral style from the 90's. It's in your face and unsophisticated, but to me it feels like a sunny day at the park when everything is in full bloom.
My top reaches for May: 11 11 by Lake & Skye, Delina la Rosee (is it just me or does this remind anyone else of Chloe EDP?), Angel EDT (just found this one and in love), Fracas and Rare Tiffany. And of course, my 'to try' list has gotten longer with Leisure in Paradise, Draco and Gold Coast...thanks Veronica! 😅
I wore Fracas recently. Still amazing! I've not tried Chloe EDP in a while, but next time I do, I'll remember to compare it Delina La Rosee. Thanks for sharing that comparison! 🥰💖🥰💖
Great eye makeup in your video! I missed watching these fragrance award videos. Now I can binge watch. 😆 You made Vanextasy sound like a must sniff. 😉Um... Also Leisure In Paradise. Floraiku's bottles are beautiful. I have to say the style of the Bond bottles are not my favourite, but are very eye catching. I enjoyed sampling Poivre Pomelo it's pretty expensive for the lack of longevity. I hate to link the two, especially as citrus is notorious for not lasting. I need to smell Scarlett Poppy if it's as good as you suggest. I really need to smell Guidance. Looking forward to my no-buy being over so I can indulge in some of these bottles. 😉 Thanks for your video! 💛✨
Thanks so much, Jenn! 🥰 What's first on your "buy" list after your no buy? Let me know! Vanextasy is worth a sniff. Very sexy. I'm obsessed with Floraiku's bottles. I want them all! So pricey though 😆
Hiiiiii! I'm late these days i know 😢. Been working around the clock, so I can travel later this year and not have to worry about the coins. Anyways love the line up for may. My favorites for may were Fugazzi angel dust, acqua novile rose and L' orchestre electro limonade. ❤
You're NEVER late to a video! They are here for your convenience, whenever you care to watch and have time. 💯👌🏼 Where are you traveling to? Inquiring minds want to know! 🤩
@@VeronicaSays Well for the inquiring minds! 😂 Nigeria, then Tobago, then Spain, followed by Croatia, which means quite a bit of time off from work, so trying to make up those hrs sooner than later..
yess girl, Coco by chanel smell sooo good, underrated and it is similar to Gabrielle Essence which is also a floral scent. I fall in love with Coco about 2 years ago, and the floral notes are similar; Coco is amazzzzinggggg!!!! I have both and I am happy!!!
Funny you have that experience with scarlet poppy. I work 12 hour shifts, and even at the end of my shift, I’m still getting comments on it. It’s actually one of my most complimented fragrances!
Some great picks! I enjoy Le Monde est Beau too. This may I've been wearing Ylang Ylang Nosy Be, Guerlain's Idylle, This is Not a Blue Bottle 1.6 and Penhaligon’s Lily of the Valley. I decluttered 9 fragrances too, feels like a fresh start! 🌟🌟💫
I love Iris Celadon but I would definitely try it again in cooler weather. On my skin it’s pretty heavy on patchouli. There are some my husband doesn’t like either. 😂
That bond #9 Central Park west bottle reminds me of the 80’s show, saved by the bell ,that came on, on Saturday mornings 😂 it had those types of patterns and colors with the cheesy music opening 😝
Mother's day, I purchased Bond New York Nights and Gold Coast. I love NYN but it lasts all of two hours. My coworker said he knows when I'm in the office because he smells me(mostly shen i wear Kayali 28) but he had to get in my neck to smell NYN. I absolutely hate gold coast. Its so sharp! I don't get anything sans rose. Lots and lots of rose😢 I'm trying to pair it with something to cut it, maybe sweeten it up as i love the bottle on my display. I've paired it with vanillas, and kaylai apple. Nothing has worked after the dry doen, rose is rosing.😂
Thanks for sharing your experience with these two fragrances. I have the opposite problem with New York Nights - I have to spray lighter so as not to drown the people around me. 🥰 I find Gold Coast to be fresh and uplifting. I hope you can sell your bottle if it doesn't grow on you over time.
@@VeronicaSays I am hoping it turns around for sure, maybe in fall season. I'm just so disappointed as these two are the first time I've spent so much on perfumes. Ya know, I've never sold anything online before. It's worth a shot thanks for the idea. Usually I just try and give away or chuck it.
@@DSpurlin215 I hear you. Hope you got these discounted! I've had luck "rehoming" fragrances on Mercari. I've also purchased a bunch from Mercari too. 👍👍👍
This month was all about my lavender fragrances..especially the ones I have from a small cosmetic company/lavender field here in Quebec called Maison Lavande. Their products have hit the mark this month for me. So good.
I love your videos❤️ You are such a genuine and likeable person. I can always trust your judgment. My surprise this month was Ingenious Ginger from Goldfield and Banks. Absolutely amazing 😍
Thank you soooo much! 💖🥰 I appreciate this comment. I recently sampled Ingenious Ginger and need to try it again. I'm not sure it's for me 😩 I thought I would love it.
After I watched one of the Monthly videos, (not sure which one 😂), I ordered a sample of VaneXstasy…..Woof!!!!❤ I ordered a bottle yesterday … it’s delicious! Still impossible to find a bottle of NR Musc Noir Rose. 😢 Luckily, I have a 10ml decant to enjoy. I found out something interesting the other day… Recently (or not so recently, given my habit of watching older videos 😂), you were talking about Elizabeth and James. I have Vanilla Bourbon. I was investigating the others, and discovered that Elizabeth and James is by Mary Kate and Ashley Olson! I’m sure you knew this, but I was surprised 😮 I’m a BIG fan of Kayali! A lot of Kayali!😂😂😂
Awesome, Leah! 💖 Glad you enjoy Vanextasy. Super sultry fragrance! I did know about the Olson twins. Pretty cool, yeah? And the fragrances had dry shampoos that were really good too. Discontinued though. Bummer! 😖 And don't worry - the NR will pop up again.
This month i enjoyed Mancera's Wild Python and Byrado's Bal d'afrique (i know, I'm late to the game) you mentioned so many fragrances in the beginning of the video that I have to try out 😊 unfortunately every time I go into sample sites the next time I come my card has been erased (i tend to accumulate fragrance samples i would like to smell and then place an order)...
Hi Veronica..great video! I would love to sample Guidance…it seems to be getting a lot of love on these RUclips streets.May reaches for me includes God of Fire by Stephane Humbert Lucas, Creatively Shanghai by Zara and Gerini Velvet Rose which gets me a ton of compliments but kinda hard to find. Thanks for sharing😊
Queen, I could hang out with you all day! 🥰 Love love love these monthly round ups so much!! I love all of your videos but these are def some of my favvvvssss!!!! ♥️
Sunset Hour was my favorite fragrance in May. If I had a fragrance awards it would be the biggest surprise. I wasn’t expecting to love it so much. Great video!
Ok...I'm ready to send you a couple of my rough draft scents. I really wish we lived close so I can really share the process with you, I know you would be interested. What scents do you like the most? And what do you shy away from
I think that by accident I have dedicated the entire month of May to pineapple. OK... so... long story short - I want B&BW Pink Pineapple Sunrise smell, with Amouage longevity and silage... I have the body lotion and the body spray and went high and low to find every pineapple fragrance I could get my hands on to wear in combination with these two. Nothing out there smells like them. The best combination though was with Urbanist Femme by Al Haramain. I also have Summer Hammer by Lorenzo Pazzaglia on the way, so fingers crossed...
Hope the one on the way works out for you! Isn't it amazing how we can fixate on a certain fragrance type? This is the right time for a pineapple obsession! 🍍 🌴🌟
My fav fragrance & biggest surprise of May has been Jimmy Choo Rose Passion… it’s my first from the brand and I it wasn’t on my radar… but I smelled it in an insert and has to have it… I love iris
I need to test Guidance! I wore my newest purchase, Madurai by Memo, as well as Malibu Party in the Bay, Salty Flower and Sunshine Woman by Amouge. Your videos are always uplifting:)). xx
Hi Veronica I guess it’s time to spend a few dollars for sure., I also seem to buy something when I watch your Videos. Love the hair and Makeup look, these Eyes Gurlll 5-31-2023❤., You have a few Juicy ones that I want to try. We buy all these Samples & Decants & forgot about my Other Fragrances
Oooo, I need to try Iris Celedon! I have been wearing Iris Poudre and Iris Malikhan this spring. I like iris frags for spring. It has not gotten hot yet in the SE where I am so I am still on cool weather, early spring frags. I have worn Cloud Intense a lot, though! The Clouds are the only celeb frags I own, and really some of the very few non-niche in my collection, but I enjoy them for everyday wear and like them better than BR540.
Your reaction to leisure in paradise! I love that! I agree those bottles are the best so beautiful ✨ what was bond thinking with that gaudy necklace 🤣🤣🤣
I really enjoy your monthly wrap up/award series. You reminded me of la nuit tresor ala folie which I blind bought last summer & I enjoyed but I agree that it was just moderate on me. I will buy a travel sized kayali utopia for an upcoming trip to the U.S this month, I think its a great scent to associate with holidays ❤
Wow! You seem to have had a great month. Draco sounds good... I just got Cruz del Sur 2 about 10 days ago and it's wonderful. I have to refrain from going only for that one! Watching Marcelna's videos is a dangerous thing for me. 🤣 I loved wearing La Nuit Trésor à la Folie in January and February. I love the red currant note in there and all that vanilla. It's a beast on me! Probably why I associated with winter. I should try it in warmer weather, but not the current heatwave we are having here.
I bet I just go noseblind to A La Folie! Everyone in the comments says it lasts on them. I need to revisit Cruz Del Sur II. It was very odd to me. Marcy is my perfume Muse too! 🥰🥰🥰
I always wonder how vloggers can actually go through their bottles, because I am just a simple soul and I am up to my neck in decants and samples. I hardly ever get to wear anything from my collection. But I do love it. I have a new friend and we have been swapping decants and samples for months. This way I got to smell Disumano by Morph, Bianco Latte by Giardini di Toscana, and K'Bridge Club by Xerjoff, which are all LOVES. And there are so many others that are now on my buy list.
I just got Bianco Latte - so lovely! Samples and decants are a great way to try many fragrances. I'd love to try Disumano. 💖🥰
Me too. I may adopt monthly trays to rotate and get through them all. It might help if I stop buying new fragrances, though. Got 2 today and got gifted 3 samples. Sigh😅😅😅

Good morning! Just love your personality. You’re beautiful and smart, but also seem down to earth and not at all full of yourself. My Coccobello finally arrived. I LOVE it! So beautiful. Longevity is better than I thought it would be.
Hi Katherine! 💖 Thank you for your very lovely comment - it means a lot to me 🙏🙏🙏 I'm so glad you love Coccobello AND you get longevity - woohoo!!
OMG! I wore Delina La Rosee out this month too 🤣🤣🤣 It didn’t matter that I was just going to the dentist! So fresh, juicy, and pretty!!!
You just blessed the dentist with a beautiful scent! 🥰💖 That's a different twist on being a good customer. 😄
Be still, my heart. Guidance is another one I wore just to go to Target this month 🤣🤣🤣 So glad you love it too! Thanks for sharing Veronica 🥰
Yessss! Let's wear all of our fragrances wherever we please! 👍👍👍
I love the owl on the cap of Between Two Trees. It’s so stinking’ cute 🦉🦉
Right?! I'm semi-obsessed with it! Soooo cute!!
My biggest surprise for the month has been Milk Expressive by Commodity...omg I really like it
Yessss! I feel like that's redemption for your Blanche Bête experience. 😄😄😄
@@VeronicaSays exactly 🤣🤣🤣
I love this series, most of what you’ve shown I don’t have.
Hi Theresa! 💖🥰 I'm so glad you enjoy these videos! 👍👍👍
I know Cassiopeia gets a lot of love but Draco does it for me it was love at 1st sniff🥰🥰
I have not tried Cassiopeia yet. Can you believe that? 😵💫😵💫😵💫
Yesss Guidance is all of the things from the bottle to the scent I’m loving more and more on myself🤗🥰💕 great show!
Thank you, Evelyn! 💖 Guidance came to WIN. ALLLLL the categories. Period! 💯🥰
The Central Park West bottle 😂😂😂 reminds me of Clueless with that houndstooth pattern and you have the one with the necklace. Very circa 80’s 90’s. My hubby loves the way it smells in me also ❤

Oh really? It's been a while since I sniffed Chloe but will check it out soon. Thanks for sharing! What are your fave Bonds?
@@VeronicaSays Nomad, Madison ave, Westside, Greenwich
@@japhie5755 wonderful! Thanks for sharing. I'm hoping to try Nomad soon.

Thank you, Hala! 💖🥰 You are so right - they are either awesome or what-were-they-thinking! Have you seen the Soho bottle?
LOVING my Leisure in Paradise… man was disappointed with Sunplosion tho. Immediate declutter lol
Oh really? I know so many people that love Sunsplosion. I have been very hesitant to buy it. Worried it's boring. 🤷♀️
My beloved O d'Azur! One of my most favorites. So affordable but a workhorse of a perfume.
It's really delightful! 💖💖💖
Ok from your expression, I need to get Vanexstacy and Leisure in Paradise 😂
Haha! Definitely try them out, Danielle! 🥰💖
LOL! I love your Draco pronunciation. I have a decant and I’m considering a full bottle because it’s so damn good!!!
Get it!!! It's gooooood! 🥰🥰🥰
Delina La Rosée is my SOTD for 3 day straight 💖💖💖
Wow! That's true love! 💖🥰💖🥰
I love Cocobello - this is a natural coconut that is irresistible to me. It’s very unassuming but sooo good 🥥
Hi Mira! 💖🥰 Yes, unassuming is a great description! 💯💯
La rosee is so watery and beautiful
Yes it is! 💯💖
Ikiryo - Orange Sunshine was a favorite scent this month.
Awesome! 💖 Thanks so much for sharing!
I'm with you on the Floraiku bottle Veronica. Love the owl. Also with you on the Bond No 9 one! 😱
The owl is PRECIOUS! 💖 And that Bond No 9 bottle is... such a mistake. 😂
“Alright, okay…. okay, Alright” 😁
Never heard of Libertine… 🧐
Will need to read a little bit about that one…
Btw, i need to give my Vanextasy sample a try and really wear it 😍❤️
Hey Paola! 🥰 I actually think you would enjoy Libertine for work. 👍 Did you not enjoy Vanextasy when you first sampled it?
Veronica your so funny and smart I love your videos take care
Awww thank you kindly, Pamela! 🙏💖🥰
For the month of May I wore Tocca Giulietta, BR 540, and Cheirosa 62 the most.
Yes, Joy! 🥰💖 You were smelling fabulous. 💯💯💯
I love how excited you get when sniffing the perfumes, that’s my goal for my collection! 😝

Hi Veronica, I am in love with your beautiful ring!! Is that Tanzanite?? It's a definite stunner, whatever it is..😚💜🤟🏻
Thank you so much! 💖 I think it's just crystal. It's from Swarovski.
Love your videos. You mentioned your love for Terracotta Guerlain in another video. You will love Ajmal Oath for Her.
Thank you so much! 💖 And thanks for the recommendation 🥰
I think the pattern on the bond no. 9 is called houndstooth. 😊
Yes - THAT! Thanks. 🥰🥰🥰
I just tried a sample of Leisure in paradise & I'm definitely getting a bottle. I like it better than Malibu party in the bay
Awesome! It's really good. I love them both! 🍍🌴🥥🌟
Veronica, you keep delivering the best content 😍 & your videos have a relaxing vibe ❤ Keep shining & being you! 🙏
Hi Sanne! Awwww thank you sooo much! What a lovely comment! 💖🥰💖🥰
yess girl, Coco by chanel smell sooo good, underrated and it is similar to Gabrielle Essence which is also a floral scent. I fall in love with Coco about 2 years ago, and the floral notes are similar; Coco is amazzzzinggggg!!!! I have both and I am happy!!!
It is, right? I was all sad by the reaction in this house. 😂😂😂
Funny you have that experience with scarlet poppy. I work 12 hour shifts, and even at the end of my shift, I’m still getting comments on it. It’s actually one of my most complimented fragrances!
Hey! That's awesome! I hope I just get sort of noseblind because it is super good! 💖💖🥰🥰
Favorite fragrance for month of may gritti gossip night. ❤😊
Hi Danielle! 💖 I think I have a sample of that somewhere! Need to try it. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Some great picks! I enjoy Le Monde est Beau too. This may I've been wearing Ylang Ylang Nosy Be, Guerlain's Idylle, This is Not a Blue Bottle 1.6 and Penhaligon’s Lily of the Valley. I decluttered 9 fragrances too, feels like a fresh start! 🌟🌟💫
Thank you! 💖 A good decluttering is refreshing to the soul. I really enjoy Ylang Ylang Nosy Be! So interesting! 💯🥰
I agree with you. Libertine is ok. Paradiso though is my favorite. If you love tart juicy fragrances. I just wish it lasted!
Ooooh I'd love to try Paradiso! Sounds wonderful 👌🥰💖
😂😂😂 Your casualty opening!! Hi Veronica ❤
I had a mini heart attack! 😆😆
I also blind bought Tresor Nuit A La Folie this month, and I absolutely love the scent.
That's awesome! It's really good. 🥰💖
I love Iris Celadon but I would definitely try it again in cooler weather. On my skin it’s pretty heavy on patchouli. There are some my husband doesn’t like either. 😂
Hi Stephanie! 💖 Thank you for this tip! My poor hubby 😄😄😄
That bond #9 Central Park west bottle reminds me of the 80’s show, saved by the bell ,that came on, on Saturday mornings 😂 it had those types of patterns and colors with the cheesy music opening 😝
Absolutely! That's spot on, Danit! 😂😂😂
@@VeronicaSays 🤣😂👍🏻
I thoroughly enjoyed this! Are the fragrance awards something you do monthly? Do you make your own categories? So good!!
Yes I do! I have a playlist in the description box of all of the monthly awards. And yes, totally made up categories. 🥰
Mother's day, I purchased Bond New York Nights and Gold Coast. I love NYN but it lasts all of two hours. My coworker said he knows when I'm in the office because he smells me(mostly shen i wear Kayali 28) but he had to get in my neck to smell NYN.
I absolutely hate gold coast. Its so sharp! I don't get anything sans rose. Lots and lots of rose😢 I'm trying to pair it with something to cut it, maybe sweeten it up as i love the bottle on my display. I've paired it with vanillas, and kaylai apple. Nothing has worked after the dry doen, rose is rosing.😂
Thanks for sharing your experience with these two fragrances. I have the opposite problem with New York Nights - I have to spray lighter so as not to drown the people around me. 🥰 I find Gold Coast to be fresh and uplifting. I hope you can sell your bottle if it doesn't grow on you over time.
@@VeronicaSays I am hoping it turns around for sure, maybe in fall season. I'm just so disappointed as these two are the first time I've spent so much on perfumes. Ya know, I've never sold anything online before. It's worth a shot thanks for the idea. Usually I just try and give away or chuck it.
@@DSpurlin215 I hear you. Hope you got these discounted! I've had luck "rehoming" fragrances on Mercari. I've also purchased a bunch from Mercari too. 👍👍👍
This month was all about my lavender fragrances..especially the ones I have from a small cosmetic company/lavender field here in Quebec called Maison Lavande. Their products have hit the mark this month for me. So good.
Oooooh that sounds so wonderful, Nancy! 💖🥰 How nice that you have this shop nearby to explore. 🥳🥳🥳
I love your videos❤️ You are such a genuine and likeable person. I can always trust your judgment. My surprise this month was Ingenious Ginger from Goldfield and Banks. Absolutely amazing 😍
Thank you soooo much! 💖🥰 I appreciate this comment. I recently sampled Ingenious Ginger and need to try it again. I'm not sure it's for me 😩 I thought I would love it.
After I watched one of the Monthly videos, (not sure which one 😂), I ordered a sample of VaneXstasy…..Woof!!!!❤ I ordered a bottle yesterday … it’s delicious!
Still impossible to find a bottle of NR Musc Noir Rose. 😢 Luckily, I have a 10ml decant to enjoy.
I found out something interesting the other day…
Recently (or not so recently, given my habit of watching older videos 😂), you were talking about Elizabeth and James. I have Vanilla Bourbon. I was investigating the others, and discovered that Elizabeth and James is by Mary Kate and Ashley Olson! I’m sure you knew this, but I was surprised 😮
I’m a BIG fan of Kayali! A lot of Kayali!😂😂😂
Awesome, Leah! 💖 Glad you enjoy Vanextasy. Super sultry fragrance! I did know about the Olson twins. Pretty cool, yeah? And the fragrances had dry shampoos that were really good too. Discontinued though. Bummer! 😖 And don't worry - the NR will pop up again.
Leisure in Paradise, is absolutely made for the warmer months and it is a nice one.
It's soooo good. Glad I picked it up. 💖💖💖
This month i enjoyed Mancera's Wild Python and Byrado's Bal d'afrique (i know, I'm late to the game) you mentioned so many fragrances in the beginning of the video that I have to try out 😊 unfortunately every time I go into sample sites the next time I come my card has been erased (i tend to accumulate fragrance samples i would like to smell and then place an order)...
You're never late to a fragrance game! If you love it, you love it! I know what you mean about the cart getting cleared out. Ugh! 😩😩😩
Hi Veronica..great video! I would love to sample Guidance…it seems to be getting a lot of love on these RUclips streets.May reaches for me includes God of Fire by Stephane Humbert Lucas, Creatively Shanghai by Zara and Gerini Velvet Rose which gets me a ton of compliments but kinda hard to find. Thanks for sharing😊
Hi Vanessa! 💖 Thank you 🙏 Grab a sample of Guidance to see if you're in the love or hate club with it. I'm going to look up Velvet Rose!
Bond no 9 bottles are usually nice. That bracelet though is a bit strange 😊
It sure is! 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Queen, I could hang out with you all day! 🥰 Love love love these monthly round ups so much!! I love all of your videos but these are def some of my favvvvssss!!!! ♥️
Hi Joy! 🥰🥰🥰 Thank you soooo much! You are so sweet. 💖😄
@@VeronicaSays awww thank you so much, beautiful!! 🥰🥰♥️♥️♥️♥️💕♥️💕
No wonder I couldn’t find Leisure in Paradise, I was looking for Leisure in Paris 🤦🏽♀️ it sounds really good
LMBO!! That's a whole different vacation, Liz! 😂
Guidance is 🚀🚀🚀 another new Amouage is Lineage - also a fantastic scent 💣💣💣💫💫💫
I agree and I'd love to try Lineage soon! 💖🥰
Sunset Hour was my favorite fragrance in May. If I had a fragrance awards it would be the biggest surprise. I wasn’t expecting to love it so much. Great video!
That's good to know! Maybe I should give that sample another try? 🤔
Between Two Trees is next on my wishlist! I have The Mountain Standing Still from Floraiku and looove it for fall/winter.
Oooooh!! Sounds great. I want them ALLLLL. 😄😄😄
Hi beautiful wow Draco sounds lovely! I just picked up Cassiopea and love it. Big fan of the house of TT 🥰
I need to get Leisure in Paradise omg sounds up my alley!! 😘
Hi Donna! 💖 okay that settles it. I need to try Cassiopeia already 😂😂😂
You know I’m here for this! Looking forward to hearing this month’s thoughts ❤
Hi Lauren! Thanks for watching! 💖🥰
Ok...I'm ready to send you a couple of my rough draft scents. I really wish we lived close so I can really share the process with you, I know you would be interested. What scents do you like the most? And what do you shy away from
Hi Veronica! 💖🥰 Wow! Congratulations! 🎉🎊 I would love to try your creations. Can we email? I'm at essentialveronica1@gmail.com. Thank you. 👏👏👏
I HAD "O AZUR"NOW I WANT IT AGAIN. POPPY JUST BOUGT IT A MONTH AGO. CAN YOU DO A VIDEO OF THE FAVES OF YOURE TOUGH CREW❤
Hi Fatima! 💖 O d'Azur should he available on discount sites, if you're interested. Thanks for the video idea!
coco i loveeeee
la Nuit Trésor a la Folie is beastmode on me 3 spray maxx
Oh really? Well that's encouraging! Thanks for sharing! 💖💖💖
It’s the fragrance awards!!!!!!!
Hi Ketra! 💖🥰
I think that by accident I have dedicated the entire month of May to pineapple. OK... so... long story short - I want B&BW Pink Pineapple Sunrise smell, with Amouage longevity and silage... I have the body lotion and the body spray and went high and low to find every pineapple fragrance I could get my hands on to wear in combination with these two. Nothing out there smells like them. The best combination though was with Urbanist Femme by Al Haramain. I also have Summer Hammer by Lorenzo Pazzaglia on the way, so fingers crossed...
Hope the one on the way works out for you! Isn't it amazing how we can fixate on a certain fragrance type? This is the right time for a pineapple obsession! 🍍 🌴🌟
@@VeronicaSays Yes! I so need a tropical vacation that lasts for a year, or a medically induced come, either one will work wonders😂
I know the feeling! 😆😂
My fav fragrance & biggest surprise of May has been Jimmy Choo Rose Passion… it’s my first from the brand and I it wasn’t on my radar… but I smelled it in an insert and has to have it… I love iris
Hi there! 💖🥰 Awesome! I'm looking forward to testing that one soon. 💯
I need to test Guidance! I wore my newest purchase, Madurai by Memo, as well as Malibu Party in the Bay, Salty Flower and Sunshine Woman by Amouge. Your videos are always uplifting:)). xx
Thank you very much! What a lovely compliment! 🥰💖🥰💖 I'd love to try Madurai.
I have to , I must get guidance. Anniversary is coming up so soon.
I suggest sampling it, Pat! You'll either love it or hate it. I hope you love it, of course! 💖💖💖
@@VeronicaSays I know right!!!! Yes I will sample. Lol
Got to try Cloud again, i didn't like it when i first tried it. Maybe i need to smell it on its own
Yes, give it another go on its own and let me know your thoughts. 👍👍👍
Hi Veronica I guess it’s time to spend a few dollars for sure., I also seem to buy something when I watch your Videos. Love the hair and Makeup look, these Eyes Gurlll 5-31-2023❤., You have a few Juicy ones that I want to try. We buy all these Samples & Decants & forgot about my Other Fragrances
Hi Marilyn! 💖🥰 Please continue to apologize to your wallet for me! 😆 Yes, those samples and decants will make up forget everything we have. 😂
Hey girl, hey! I’m so excited to see this! 😍
Thank you, Lala! 🥰💖
Oooo, I need to try Iris Celedon! I have been wearing Iris Poudre and Iris Malikhan this spring. I like iris frags for spring. It has not gotten hot yet in the SE where I am so I am still on cool weather, early spring frags. I have worn Cloud Intense a lot, though! The Clouds are the only celeb frags I own, and really some of the very few non-niche in my collection, but I enjoy them for everyday wear and like them better than BR540.
Hi Christine! 💖 I'd love your thoughts on Iris Celadon. I need some support on that one! 😂😂😂 The Cloud fragrances really are super lovely.
Your reaction to leisure in paradise! I love that! I agree those bottles are the best so beautiful ✨ what was bond thinking with that gaudy necklace 🤣🤣🤣
That necklace thing just sends me 🫣😆😩 So ugly! Leisure in Paradise is 💖💖💖💖
Also, your hair color is so lovely.
Thank youuuu 💖💖💖
I can’t wait to try Guidance. Such a beautiful bottle.
Hi Janet! Hope you get to sample it soon! 🥰💖
I really enjoy your monthly wrap up/award series. You reminded me of la nuit tresor ala folie which I blind bought last summer & I enjoyed but I agree that it was just moderate on me. I will buy a travel sized kayali utopia for an upcoming trip to the U.S this month, I think its a great scent to associate with holidays ❤
Thank you! 💖🥰 Appreciate you weighing in about LNT A La Folie. Yes, a travel size Utopia will be great for the summer! 👍👍👍
Wow! You seem to have had a great month. Draco sounds good... I just got Cruz del Sur 2 about 10 days ago and it's wonderful. I have to refrain from going only for that one! Watching Marcelna's videos is a dangerous thing for me. 🤣
I loved wearing La Nuit Trésor à la Folie in January and February. I love the red currant note in there and all that vanilla. It's a beast on me! Probably why I associated with winter. I should try it in warmer weather, but not the current heatwave we are having here.
I bet I just go noseblind to A La Folie! Everyone in the comments says it lasts on them. I need to revisit Cruz Del Sur II. It was very odd to me. Marcy is my perfume Muse too! 🥰🥰🥰
