Fragrances Im Currently Sampling | May 2024

[@michelleodom548]

Thanks for putting the Pic of each fragrance on the video, so we know exactly what you are talking about. Some vlogers don't do that, and it makes it hard to know what they talking about

[@TheSantaMaria1]

You are so welcome

[@kristinmary4025]

Love today’s look, pink and green, especially these shades💗

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Thank you for the kind words

[@tanyagoss336]

I am wearing Carioca Heart today and I love ❤❤❤it

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Nice! Thanks for sharing

[@NIKKI99DELITE]

Jardin Exclusive is really nice. Great video!!

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Thanks for watching.

[@lovli31]

I own tonkandy. It’s a really beautiful molecular fragrance. I plan on wearing it all year and round😊

[@TheSantaMaria1]

I can see that!

[@stephaniejones2605]

I sampled Bravi too and it was immediately no! Not sure what is going on with that but one I immediately recoiled from.

[@TheSantaMaria1]

It is so weird and bad. Glad to hear Im not alone with my thoughts.

[@carinalofanzes5260]

I believe someone else may have shared this in the comments, but John and Clara Molloy, the founders of Memo Paris, also founded Hermetica (supposed to be perfumes that are made with a mix of natural and synthetic ingredients), and Floraiku (perfumes inspired by Japanese culture). From Floraiku I would reccomend One Umbrella for Two (a blueberry muffin scent), but have yet to try anything from Hermetica!

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Thanks for sharing

[@juditi6305]

I really enjoy this kind of videos, I always get such great ideas of new fragrances to try out ☺️Thank you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Im glad you enjoy these.

[@Its_vee_senoj]

I enjoy your sample videos, Santa. I've started sampling more this year. I bought Jardin Exclusif last year. I layer it with mancera juicy flowers or black vanilla. I have a sample of Bravi, and I really like the heart and base notes. I've been wearing it to bed it's very cozy on my skin. Not sure if I'm ready for a full bottle during this season but probably more fall/autumn time. Thanks again for a very detailed review.

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Im glad you enjoy these types of videos. Sampling is the way to go for sure. Glad you could figure Bravi out. You are so welcome.

[@karenjohnson2905]

I’m going to try that new jus box fragrance ! Ordering a sample today! I also ordered a discovery of Xerjoff and Accento was my favorite it’s in my wish list to purchase . Still on the fence with Erba pura gold ! Thank you for another great review old and new! 😊

[@TheSantaMaria1]

yes check out Cairoca Heart. Yay Accento! I took my time with Erba Gold as well so I completely understand.

[@something_rich]

I am going to purchase the MFK. THANKS FOR A GREAT REVIEW

[@shouline]

I smelled it also and fell in love

[@TheSantaMaria1]

You are so welcome

[@shirleystellar]

Now, you put me in a state of confusion with Bravi lol. “Have you feeling self-conscious if you were to wear it out” is definitely a bold statement. I’m definitely going to get a sample first.

[@TheSantaMaria1]

It is weird indeed. Please sample first.

[@shanelle697]

I ordered Carioca heart last time it was available and it’s lovely. A blind buy that I don’t regret. Plus I got a slight discount with my birthday code

[@TheSantaMaria1]

You did right to get it because as soon as you blink, it sells out. Love a discount.

[@audreah6024]

This video is right on time! I want to try Carioca Heart! It's a luxury store in Nashville called Refinery Fragrances said they will get it in this week. I'm excited to try and buy if I love it! Thank you!

[@TheSantaMaria1]

You are so welcome. Yes I know about Refinery Fragrances. I met one of the owners at ScentXplore earlier this month. Great store. They carry Jusbox so that is exciting they are getting Carioca Heart in.

[@trina6256]

I have the MFK (green) and absolutely will be wearing it this summer and a trip to Florida next week. I feel (like you) that it is perfect for the sun and heat!!! Hope you get a bottle. Bought it and put it away …Now she is ready to be worn!!!!

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Love that! Hope you have an amazing trip!

[@Hotdoublz]

Carioca heart is one of my faves!

[@TheSantaMaria1]

I see why. She is cute and fun

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

I love these videos because I am curious about most of the stuff you are sampling

[@TheSantaMaria1]

yay! I like to share my thoughts on scents with you all.

[@lovli31]

Hey Santa!❤def a fan of Carioca heart! Glad I grabbed a bottle when it first dropped.

[@TheSantaMaria1]

You were smart to do so! It is an all out war to get it now. lol

[@The_Cherokee_Gypsy]

I can’t stand pineapple, coconut, ginger, lavender at all In my fragrances. My new love is by Teo cabanel “Ohh la la” it’s a stunning signature scent. Iris, suede, orris ughh it smells like an authentic leather handbag in an upscale department store. The orris and tobacco and that hazelnut note is KILLER!

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Always good to know what notes do not work for us lol. Thanks for sharing your new love.

[@amandaccabral94]

To me Accento smells good, but its kind a mix of chanel coco madeimoiselle and mens after shave

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Thanks for sharing

[@royaltybeats22]

I think I'd just blind buy Carioca Heart. I want to sample Xerjoff Accento. I would get the Jardin Exclusif but I own Kirke and they may be too similar.

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Thanks for sharing.

[@HiddenTreasure09]

Hey!!!! I have mixed feelings about MFK Aqua Media. I really like it! Great for spring/summer but I wish it lasted longer on me 😭 it disappears after a few hours. Hermetica Appear is also really nice especially if you like pear 🍐 I was at Bloomingdale’s yesterday sniffing around and came across Mancera Sicily it’s very nice. I need to get a sample/decant to wear and test for FB worthiness. Great video as always and TFS 😊

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Hi there. Haha I can understand the mixed feelings about Aqua Media. Thanks for sharing your sampling experience.

[@HiddenTreasure09]

@@TheSantaMaria1 I just realized that Aqua Media smells so similar to Nishane Wulong Cha. I knew that I recognized that scent profile. Now I don’t need Aqua Media since I own Wulong Cha 🙌🏾😁

[@carlasmall5215]

Hi Santa! Love these videos. I agree with your opinions on accento vs accento overdose, the og is the best of the two.

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Hi Carla! Im glad you love these videos. Yeah the OG is better for sure.

[@kellyreed5710]

I feel the same about pineapple notes I like to smell them but they smell masculine although always describe is sweet and juicy. I keep saying I was me a candied pineapple scent to wear. Feminine pineapple sent him come across?

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Pineapple is a tricky note indeed.

[@ChiChicScents]

I just got Maison Philos Centro which is a dupe for Xerjoff Accento. It’s good!!

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Thanks for sharing

[@shanaboles4887]

Accento is beautiful but Accento Overdose is more powerful. I almost would do regular Accento in the spring/summer and overdose in the fall cooler months. I like them both though to have in your collection.

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Thanks for sharing.

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

Cariocha Heart, I appreciate your review

[@TheSantaMaria1]

You are so welcome.

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

I love the MFK bottle

[@TheSantaMaria1]

It is pretty

[@kelseychambers26]

Heyyy! do you like THOO Keep Glazed or Carioca Heart better? And are the two even comparable? Would the vibes be too redundant to own both?🤔 your make up is always flawless btw 😍

[@TheSantaMaria1]

I don’t own any Thoo fragrances. Thanks for the compliment.

[@lovli31]

I believe hermetica brand founders are the same founders of memo Paris😊

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Thanks for sharing

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

Hey Santa 🙋🏾‍♀️

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Hey Latonya!

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

Jardin Exclusif, ok I had it, but I gifted it to my son because it smelled so much better on him🤷🏾‍♀️

[@TheSantaMaria1]

that was nice of you

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

I have Accento Overdose, so I need to smell Accento

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Indeed

[@antoinejones9800]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@TheSantaMaria1]

Thank you
