Maria!! The skin & makeup are stunning today! ❤ You’re so beautiful inside & out. And pink is YOUR color 👌🏼

[@mariacollettlife]

Thank you so much💕💕💕💕💕

[@carladilalla680]

I was going to say the same thing! Hot pink is definitely your colour. Just keep on keeping on! You’re the best! Ciao.😊

“I’m sure I can act normal!” You crack me up. Please don’t ever be anything other than your amazing self. No room for normal here!

[@mariacollettlife]

Bahahahaaaa!! For sure!!💕

I love the, "it's iffy" add-on.

[@tamarav6133]

Your fragrance “scenarios” are so detailed. They always put a smile on my face. My brother drives a G Wagon. Apparently, they are a super rough ride. He says he feels like he’s driving a dump truck. 😂 Can you imagine spending that much money on a car and felling like you’re driving a dump truck? Makes me laugh. Rich people problems!

[@mariacollettlife]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 that’s just hilarious. My friend has a Mercedes SUV of some sort and it’s like driving on glass…super smooth!! The G wagon to me is too big and truck like.😀💕

[@Kiwi_Christine]

Your sense of humour cracks me up sometimes… I feel loaded when I wear it, not on alcohol though, on money. In a video with Val you two were talking about clean girl aesthetic and you said “I’m not a clean girl”. 😂😂

[@mariacollettlife]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@cynthiamitchell2442]

I love the middle eastern because I can actually afford to have many of them. Thanks for reviewing it is so helpful when blind buying like I do.

[@mariacollettlife]

You are so welcome!

[@teabees2191]

Kismet is so elegant!

[@Spicylooks]

Yay love rare Tiffany

[@tdsollog]

Middle Eastern for the win!

[@KRCM1]

If son would approve, I think having him in your videos regularly would be cute. Like reviews with him, etc. He’s got a cute character!

[@mariacollettlife]

I’ve tried but he’s not willing yet!! Will keep working on him. 😜

I love Barakkat Gold. When i layer it with oud satin OMG i smell sophisticated rich luxurious

[@tiamurrell963]

❤ I have both , never layered these 2, must try this. Gentle Gold is soooo beautiful. ❤

[@mariacollettlife]

I’m totally going to try that!!! 💕

Hello Maria... ❤ From 🇵🇰 Nice video with interesting collection... You should add armaf club de nuit women in this list.. very elegant... Dupe of coco medmoiselle I think...

Thank you so much 😀

Hi Maria 😊I mixed Gentle Gold with Fancy from Jessica Simpson today. It’s nice ❤

[@tspencer661]

Lattafa’s Ser Al Malika Attar Al Ghalia EDP smells classy to me. It’s heavy on the incense. You’ve been warned. I think it’s a fall and winter scent, but someone may like to wear it in the summer.

[@Leminsart]

It makes me feel loaded!! best line :))

[@heavenj7]

Yessss I got the Barrakat due to you! It’s really classy!! Fun to layer with other scents as well! 💕 lol I would love a G wagon or a defender! I have caviar tastes and a tuna budget!! 😢😅

[@mariacollettlife]

Same here. We are budget buddies!! 😜

[@alexandralacerda492]

I adore Musk Mood from Lattafa it smells like clean skin but more projective , it mixes with the skin , and for me always people ask what I'm wearing

[@JenniferSimmons-fh9us]

Hello!! Love, love, love your videos!!! Always informative and so entertaining!!! I am currently obsessed with Andaleeb, by Asdaaf. More of a fall and winter go to, but I sneak it on anyway in the spring and summer. Warm and cozy with some vanilla and spices in the dry down. Huge compliment getter 😊

[@mariacollettlife]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@elizabethlawson9179]

Afnan Mystique Bouquet! I’ve only once sniffed the original (PDM Valaya) but there’s just something addictive about this one, smells very feminine but decadent ( perfect for garden parties, lol) ❤️

[@lsmithgoose]

Probably not suitable for hot summer days but I would say it's an all rounder outside that. Lattafa - Ana Abiyedh Poudrée is exquisite 😘

[@alexandralacerda492]

Hi dear, following your advise, I received my barakaat gentle gold , and I'm in love❤❤❤

[@Mah_fb]

Take 1: I bought Barakkat Gold because of you...hated it...sold it Take 2: I bought Barakkat Gold because of you...loved it...kept it Yes, I bought this perfume twice 😂😂😂 and it was just because of your videos hahah After I learned we have to macerate ME perfumes, the game changed. Although I'm not investing in ME anymore... Great video🎉🎉

[@mariacollettlife]

I’m sorry….and you’re welcome?? 😜. Yes, I need to remember to tell people to not discount them without macerating!!

[@aleishabudgetbeauty]

Ooooo I have not ever seen Leen 😮 I love Dubai Portrait so much.

[@CathyVaughn-ph3lr]

My favorite right now is Junoon Noir!!

[@mariacollettlife]

So good!!

[@aleciamcelwee216]

Juliana’s perfume A Night To Remember is everything!!! Wore it on a date the other night and this man could not keep his hands off of me.

[@mariacollettlife]

Wahoo!!! I agree! 💕

[@aleishabudgetbeauty]

I have had Rare Tiffany for about 9 months. I’m still trying to force myself to love it. I don’t hate it but I want to love it. The bottle is just gorgeous 😩😩😩

[@joanmaripavia2170]

Your sense of humour and your laughs in your previous videos make my day. I died in the garden party with the dignitaries and we’re talking about sophisticated perfumes but why would you want to knock someone out with the leen bottle 😭🤣

[@mariacollettlife]

You never know when those dignitary parties might get out of hand- better to be prepared 😜🤣

[@laurieutterback6939]

I love watching your video's! Thanks for the Middle Eastern suggestions.

[@kari0675]

I have Tenderina by Maison Alhambra, which is a dupe for Chanel Chance Tendre, which is a feminine and classy fragrance. Maybe it doesn't smell quite as expensive as the original, but as I can't afford the OG, the dupe is good enough for me. 😊

[@mariacollettlife]

It’s a great one!!

[@kuga7423]

It is very synthetic. Too harsh.

[@hardimiller4585]

Ma'am, i like your style and your video. You are awesome. Love the way you giggle 😊🥰

[@mariacollettlife]

Thank you! 😃

[@toadynose89]

I absolutely adore Barakkat Gentle Gold 😍 ❤

[@sarahsunshine78]

Ansaam Gold is one of my FAVES!

[@aleishabudgetbeauty]

Omg you HAVE to try Liam by Lattafa if you haven’t. I like it better than Gris Charnel. Not feminine but just fyi. Now feminine, I would say Nexa Musèe BUT spray your clothing. It doesn’t last on the skin but lasts forever on clothing. The bottle is one of my prettiest bottles in my massive collection ha and it smells BEAUTIFUL

[@zsu3853]

[@tanyadimartino1266]

Hello Maria, love your videos. I hated Rare Tiffany. So sad but all I could smell was sandalwood thru and thru. I loved the strength, projection and longevity but not to smell like fresh cut wood. I do like Kismet very much and Fragrance World G Gold! I love love love Leen! I have wanted Niche Royal Vert.

[@mariacollettlife]

Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@phyllisiervello]

Marie, I think you look great in any color you wear, as well as in black. I do not watch your videos to see what color you are wearing, but I do watch them to see your latest opinion on fragrances, especially middle eastern ones, which I have been into recently. I am hoping I can afford a new one for my birthday, which is in August, and always am interested in any new suggestions. P.S., I always enjoy watching your channel because of the laughter that always surrounds you!😀

[@pkswafford]

Thanks for the compilation! Nice suggestions. Do you think you could do a Middle Eastern compilation of unisex/fresh summer scents? I wore Fragrance World Fresh As Citrus yesterday and got a compliment - I would love more suggestions of scents like this.

Loving those lashes, Maria. Kismet is really pretty, it’s perfect for an elegant garden party. You should absolutely attend a garden party with dignitaries ❤, you’d help keep everyone awake 🎉.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@JAY-su6oc]

Is it longlasting?

[@mamoni7703]

@@JAY-su6oc I tried it long ago at a store, a few times and it didn’t last long on my skin. That could be just my skin chemistry or perhaps I went anosmic to it.

[@m.c.8249]

I was recently gifted Chants Tenderina & I love the dry down but one of the opening notes just makes me instantly queasy! I can’t put my finger on it😩 I just power through the first 10 minutes until it dries down. I love Leonie by Maison Alhambra. Beautiful fragrance that I’m getting a backup bottle of. Thanks for the other suggestions Maria 😊

[@mariacollettlife]

It could be the grapefruit, sometimes grapefruit almost comes across as BO to me

[@kuga7423]

You try Jardin de Paris, if I am not wrong that's the name. It is from Maison Alhambra. A copy of Jadore

[@celinaluisa]

Love it 🎉

[@phylliswiggins3438]

I am a newby to Middle Eastern fragrance. I look forward to trying some. Leen sounds interesting. I’ll have to see if I can find it somewhere to test.

[@mariacollettlife]

I think fragbar does testers 😀

[@onlyme9978]

This is when KZbinrs reviews are informative. Most fragrances need to time to “mature” or macerate so the initial spray may become instantly disappointing and dissatisfied. However once you are patient to allow the fragrance to macerate it blooms into something beautiful. I am not certain if the fragrance in the tester is fully macerated so therefore your experience with the tester fragrance may fall very short.

[@tspencer661]

Oh, no. Once you go down this rabbit hole, you won’t be able to get out.😆😆😆

[@DMSqueen1]

Love you Maria!!! And also love Rare Tiffany (Beautiful bottle) Do you like Rare Passion? I love that too❤

[@mariacollettlife]

I haven’t smelled rare passion

[@tiamurrell963]

❤ I love Rare Passion, it is wonderful

[@tiamurrell963]

​@@mariacollettlifeIt is beautiful, I love it, have Rare Tiffany but love Rare Passion more, it is a bit more intriguing. Always a compliment getter and women ask for the name. There is a slight hint of a sweet tobacco note in this, not mentioned but it gives it a twist. Simin actually mentioned that she noticed that note as well. Beautifully blended, maceration makes it even better.

[@indysabby]

Simin Shaikh, a lovely yt'r,, that does nearly all ME perfumes, has been steadily convincing me to try Rare Passion. It has been a tried and true for her. When I first got Rare Tiffany, I was disappointed. However, after some time in the bottle (the juice, not me), I really enjoy it now.

[@ashb5733]

I Love Barakkat Gentle Gold! P.S. You accidentally put up the notes for Kismet for Women when you were talking about Ansaam Gold.

[@mariacollettlife]

Oh crap!! Thanks for telling me. I can’t change it now but will be more careful in the future. I appreciate you catching the mistake!!

[@lisabafundo4355]

Maria, you look lovely 😊 I am so intrigued by Royal Vert, it sounds wonderful. New to my Middle Eastern collection is Lattafa Shahd..it is a beautiful tropical yellow floral, said to be a dupe for Narciso Rodriguez Ambree..I've not tested that one however, although Shahd doesn't have the coconut note, it gives me big time Dolce Garden vibes 😀 I'm loving it already without the maceration time, certainly will bossom more with time. Have you or Val tried it? Idk how it got under my radar😅😉❤

[@mariacollettlife]

I haven’t heard of it. Sounds amazing!! Thanks for sharing!

[@sherrielynn7544]

For the Leen perfume have you tried putting it on while straight out of the shower? While you’re still warm from the water, that might help but I’ve never smelled or tried that one. Worth a shot 😊

Great idea!!

[@dianavanhouten6071]

Did you compare the niche royal vert to the luxury vert from riffs perfumes? I would like to know your thoughts on this?

Triple Traders in the states has a ton! Perfumeonline.ca ships to the US i believe. I AM FINDING more AND MORE ON FRAGRANCENET but honestly triple traders is awesome!
