Hello, fragrance friends! 💖 Please share your favorite clean and soft musk fragrances below. ⬇️ We love great recommendations.

[@Danit.Talkscentswithme]

Carven l absolue is a good citrusy musk fragrance for spring/summer, it has a freshness to it , I don’t wear fragrances that smell too clean , this one is fresh to me though but soft and musky

I appreciate that you have this passion for fragrance that “being under the weather” does not stop you from creating your content. I’ve recently seen a video where the creator pointed out reasons not to trust a fragrance influencer….and while I agree with a lot of the things mentioned, there are YT influencers like you who consistently talk about your loved collection. They didn’t have to be new, most of them you bought with your own coins, most of them are difficult to find and sometimes even discontinued. You’re not all about marketing or getting sponsorship, you’re very honest about the scents that you like and dislike. I find your videos very entertaining and informative, and you’re funny even when you’re under the weather. Thank you Veronica for being a true fragrance sister ! 🩷🥰😍hope you feel better soon.

[@VeronicaSays]

Thank you soooo much, Marie!! 💖🥰 I like fragrances across all categories and styles. I'm also not opposed to marketing and sponsorships - that's a part of today's KZbin world and I enjoy working with brands and sites I think are worth checking out. I guess it's all about balance, right? Thanks for your kind comment! 🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏

Hey Veronica. Can i just say how much you make me laugh😂. Being an early 80s baby I truly appreciate your throwback references #sexualchocolate😂😂😂. That is one of the FUNNIEST movies I’ve ever seen #Soulglo. I digress….another great video! Musc Moschus is definitely a 10/10. Valaya also pulls more citrus on me, and it IS a powerhouse.

[@tatianacatherine5070]

I love that you are bringing simple back! 😊😊 Great video. This is random but I have a bottle of Revlon's Fire & Ice Cool - I purchased it for like 6 bucks at a vintage shop. It instantly reminds me of this babysitter I had when I was a child - she smelled very very similar to this fragrance so I wonder if this was her perfume. I would describe it as a clean delicately sweet shampoo-like musk. It's very much an early 2000's fragrance, nothing groundbreaking. I love that you talk about Trish Mcevoy fragrances as they are underrated. I used to wear #6 Mandarin & Ginger Lily and I loved it - very crisp, zesty, clean. Loved it. I'm thinking about repurchasing it. Loved the sexual chocolate reference 😂

[@VeronicaSays]

Sexual chocolate 🍫 😋 🤣 Thank you so much. Fire & Ice! I didn't know it had a "Cool" flanker! 😲 I love the scent memory you have for it - how sweet! I want to try Mandarin & Ginger Lily! 🎉

No one EVER talks about Tova signature EDP and I only heard of it because a phlebotomist was wearing it and smelled phenomenal. I had to find out what it was and immediately ordered it from QVC for myself and my sister. It's a gorgeous soft musk.

[@VeronicaSays]

Ooooh! We love a hidden gem. Thanks for adding this one! I'm going to look it up. 💖💖💖

[@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134]

@@VeronicaSays I think it's only available from QVC or directly from the Tova website. I liked one of the flankers also, but forgot which one - I should ask my sister because I got her a full bottle of it and used up my miniature size a few years ago. Last time I bought it, it was under $100.

[@leahmiranda8359]

I’m seen this on QVC forever. It might be time to try it!

@@leahmiranda8359 If you love musk, it's really pretty. Soft, medium weight.

[@hollybronwyn8176]

A caveat, if I may ... yes TOVA, the OG formulation is a stunner! However, this is where I say ... go vintage. Not cheap but you can find the vintage formulation for a semi-reasonable price. I would avoid any bottle that says West Chester, PA, ... QVC headquarters. Somewhere along the way, I believe TOVA sold to QVC and her masterpiece was changed. ("In 2002, QVC bought the Tova brand for a seven-figure sum.") Perhaps someone has something to add about other formulations that were still really good, not sure. I'd go for the black box, frosted bottle which is marked ... TOVA Corporation, Beverly Hills, California 90210 ID. It holds up well, I have had some for many moons, still truly lovely. :)

[@rosiet253]

I’ve never heard of anyone talk about crystal snowdrops, my favorite. I don’t have it anymore because it didn’t last but it is the most beautiful smell.

[@Khaleesi_Of_Kittens]

Trish McAvoy makes some really good quality makeup products, too. Or, at least, she did. When it was her running her brand. She's a pioneer in the world of makeup artistry and a very talented makeup artist, in her own right. She's the one who started using makeup brushes to apply makeup. She's the one, along with her husband (pretty sure it was her husband) who brought makeup and science together to improve application techniques but to teach women exactly what to do to play up their own unique features and taught them how to use the products and brushes. Its a really cool story for anyone interested in makeup. (As I obviously am. 😋) Anyway, if you haven't tried her makeup products QVC used to be the best place to get them for a great deal!! 🌸🤟🏻💗

[@VeronicaSays]

Yes, I've taken a look at the makeup products, too. 👍👍👍 My makeup collection is GINORMOUS! But maybe one day I'll add something from that line. 🥰

[@leahmiranda8359]

Veronica!!❤ We were not surprised that you wanted Pear Inc to be in a pink bottle…😂But maybe a little surprised, being as you HATE pink so much..😂😂😂 I’m getting better at identifying powder in scents, thanks to Luke. But although I love many fragrances with musk notes, I still have a little trouble identifying it. 😊 Thank you for hanging out with us this weekend, although under the weather 🤧 Rest this weekend and feel better soon ❤🥰😘

[@VeronicaSays]

Thank you, Leah! I filmed this a while back and I'm all better now, thankfully. 🎉🎉🎉 Yesss, you know I LOVE pink! 💖💖💖 Musk can be tricky - it's a love or hate AND there are so many different kinds of musks with different "textures."

[@jackiesasfai4162]

Oh Veronica you sounded just like me!! The pollen here has been brutal! I’ve been this way fot over a week! Hope you feel better soon! I adore Orris 22 and I’m still wearing Burberry Body and Prada pour femme for the past 5/6 yrs! I really love them. I also just ordered Musc Moschus! Really excited to try it. Musks mix with my skin chemistry well and I really enjoy them. I want to try Musk Nude by NR and Musk Crystal. I really enjoy almost all of them. I’m going to give my NR white cube one more try I found a big bottle on Jomashop by accident. If it doesn’t out for me, I’d love to send it to you! Great video!!❤️

[@VeronicaSays]

Awwww Jackie! You're so sweet! First, I hope the pollen gives you a break soon. It "just" started to subside here. It was especially bad this year, it seems. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Glad you're loving some of these and I hope you enjoy Musc Moschus as much as I do. I may wear it today, in fact. I have on 11-11 this morning to give it another whirl and I'm thinking it's not for me. You can't win 'em all! I will gladly take your white cube if you're not enjoying it BUT also know that you will likely sell it pretty easily on Mercari or eBay as it's getting harder to find and those who love it will want backups. 👍👍👍

[@jackiesasfai4162]

@Veronicasays It will absolutely come to you! I have so many I want to sell but with my Type 1 I don’t drive often because I have no symptoms of lows. I just know I wouldn’t be able to get to the post office to mail them in a timely manner. I have 60 fragrances on my table in my sitting area in my bedroom. I’ve sold some to friends but they came to pick them up. Just don’t think I’m up to Mercari!! I’ll get your address and it will head your way soon! I know you love it and that makes me super happy!!❤️

Valaya lasts almost TOO long!! 🤪🤣🤣 hahaha I do love 11 11, it is crisply, almost metallicly laundry clean to me, but you've heard me talk about it on my clean tray and travel spray vids, a couple of times I have wondered if my bottles have gone off a bit, because it is a "clean" brand, so maybe it doesn't have as many preservatives… and my bottles are probably a couple of years old. But I still find it just very crisp and fresh, I often refer to it as a white Amber. Like Amber with every bit of the brown removed if that makes sense lol 😆

[@VeronicaSays]

Yes, Valaya DOES NOT QUIT! She is Olympic-style strength! 🤣 I'm thinking 11-11 is maybe not for me. I'm wearing it again this morning and it's reading like a chemical mishmash of clean notes with something harsh coming through. I can see how it would smell great on others, though. So I'll pass on a full bottle but I am glad to have tried it, as that's part of the fun of this hobby. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I'm not trying to afford PDM Valaya but I have had Afnan Mystique Bouquet for a while before I heard it was a dupe or clone for Valaya. I can't attest to that because I've never smelt PDM Valaya , however, Mystique Bouquet is a really beautiful scent that I really love wearing in spring/summer.

Hello Veronica. I have a question, can you possibly do a video giving recommendations of fragrances that are hypoallergenic. I love fragrance and have been using for a while now and I don’t know what has happened with my skin lately, but has become very sensitive all of a sudden. I’m finding that it is breaking me out in a bunch of little red dots. It’s happening where I spay…my arms my neck and chest area. Please help! I don’t want to stop wearing my fragrances, my collection is just starting to grow and have so many more I want to get!!! Do you think it may be a particular note that’s causing this?

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Marlene, I really don't know how to advise you as I don't know any hypoallergenic scents. I would suggest looking it up online and going from there. Definitely sounds like you're sensitive to some chemicals but I don't have background in this topic. I'm so sorry.

[@cece5767]

Thank you for this! I've been curious about VS bare because you've mentioned it before. I bought the sampler pack and oh em gee, these easily out do my collection, very sexy. Bare is nice, cozy, and sexy. I was looking for the softness that sandalwood has but it's creamy and done right with that sexiness. These are full bottle worthy. I have the very sexy orchid on the way.

Today I'm actually wearing the Dapper version of Trish McEvoy blackberry & vanilla musk. I wonder if it's close to the real thing.. I've never smelled anything by Trish McEvoy (but I'd love to!) Yes Sensual Orchid is so good! And I enjoy my decant of Chemise Blanche 🩶🩶🩶

[@VeronicaSays]

The Blackberry & Vanilla one is lovely. I liked the whole lineup, some more than others (naturally). Girl! Sensual Orchid is IT! Soooo good! 🎉🎉🎉

[@giishaw92]

I love Snowy Owl! It doesn't smell very musky to me, though. It smells like flowers and snow to me - like early spring when flowers start to bloom, but then there's a snow storm that covers everything in ice. I'll have to wear it again thinking about the musk and see what I get. I just have a sample and 1 little spray on each arm is enough to last the whole day.

[@VeronicaSays]

I love that description! Glad you love it! Such a unique scent. 🥰🥰🥰

I love clean, skin scents. But I don’t like Lake & Sky 11. Just looking at the notes, I should love it. It’s similar to me to Narciso Rodriguez Pure Musc for Her. Whatever musc is used in these makes me nauseous. For comparison, I love Gossier You, Dedcool Xtra Milk, Clean Reserve and Classic Skin.

[@pearlcurl2415]

@thetopnote has a great video validating my same feelings about these 2 scents too!

I didn't love Pure Musc either, although I can see why people enjoy it. 11 11 didn't work out for me in the end. I'm going to use it for a linen spray. 😬

Hi Veronica, can you tell me which you prefer, creeds virgin island water or Tom ford soleil blanc? What’s the difference?

[@VeronicaSays]

Ooof! Both are great. I'd choose Soleil Blanc - the EDP. So luxurious, creamy, coconutty, floral, and a hint of citrus. Virgin Island Water is a "lime in the coconut" type of fresh zingy fragrance but shorter lived. Try Hawaii Volcano from Alexandria Fragrances for a great dupe that lasts long. Or Simone Andreoli Party in the Bay for a similar scent that is FANTASTIC!

Oh Veronica so sorry you are not feeling well. I’ve been fighting long haul Covid symptoms now for almost 4 weeks. No bueno! 👎🏻 Well, the bright side is those frames look pretty sharp on you! 🤓 I’ve learned the hard (expensive) way that this is not my category, especially right now. However I am thoroughly enjoying VS Bare, it’s a soft beauty and easy to wear. I finally caved and bought a decant of Musc Moschus - my curiosity got the better of me 🤔 I just got the ME inspiration for Valaya (Mystique Bouquet by Afnan) and I think I like it better than the OG (tested/disliked.) Lake & Sky 11 11 is a hard pass for me; smells like chemicals. Noses are so strange aren’t they? Somehow traditional soapiness 🫧🫧 just smells stale, old & gross on me 😣

[@VeronicaSays]

Oh no! You're still recovering from COVID 😫 How awful! My head cold is finally gone! Hallelujah 🙏 Bare remains such a fantastic easy reach perfume. No fuss, no muss! Hope you enjoy Musc Moschus. I am wearing 11-11 now as we finish breakfast and I think it's a no-go for me. I agree - you nailed it. Smells like a whole mishmash of clean-smelling chemicals on me with something harsh pushing through. I can see how others enjoy that profile, though. Yes, noses are so finicky! 🤣

I just got a Victoria's Secret Coconut Passion body spray for layering with other tropical fragrances this summer, like Jennifer Lopez Miami Glow and Tommy Bahama for Her. The only other one I have owned is the Midnight Bloom body mist, a favorite of mine, but have never had one of the perfumes.

Like you, I'm very underwhelmed by Lake & Skye 11 11. I bought a 15 ml travel spray to see what all the hype was about and got a very faint, salty musk in the vein of Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt or Teo Cabanel Peau Salée, but the latter two are so much better. I can't smell 11 11 after 10 minutes - it's that weak. In short, I will use up my spray, but am not going to buy a full bottle. Meanwhile, a fabulous musk that's a recent addition to my collection is Celine Parade. I sprayed it on at Saks, went home to see how it developed and fell in love - it's an expensive (literally and figuratively) clean-girl scent, like a model off duty sans makeup in a white t-shirt but ever so chic. Though I am the furthest thing from that, LOL, I fell in love, went back to the store the next day and got a full bottle! And sorry for the long rant, Veronica, but in your upcoming iris video I hope you get to include Olfactive Studio Iris Shot, Room 1015 Sonic Flower and Jusbox Visionary Eye. The last one was created by Dominic Ropion and am blown away by how good it is! Okay, rant over. Carry on, la mia belleza!

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi! Yes, I wore 11-11 again yesterday morning and decided it wasn't for me. It seemed a bit messy on me but I can see how others would enjoy it. I haven't tried any Celine fragrances yet. Can you believe it? 😂 One of those iris fragrances will definitely be in my video, and another one will be in the pinned comment. 👍👍👍 Thank you so much!

[@brynmawrbeth318]

So my collection is not anywhere near the size of yours, but I have still made the effort to purchase the 30 ml or 50 ml size of product! I have enough fragrances that if I go through the smaller bottles and want to repurchase? I can! The only exceptions to this rule is 1. Creed fragrances 2. Coco Chanel 3. Shipping cost are involved and it just makes sense to pay the extra $7 for 50 ml of product (talking about you Jomashop)!!

[@VeronicaSays]

That is smart! 30 ml is enough to get you through many wears and you can always size up after that. Oooooof - Jomashop gets me every time with those sales! 😆
