Tony Iommi is a guitarist for Black Sabbath. He loves fragrance & helped create the fragrance. He’s British and well loved!

[@VeronicaSays]

Thank you, Jackie! I don't listen to Black Sabbath but that connection makes sense. 💖👍

[@sandysullivan3098]

Also, the name of his guitar is Monkey Special, I believe.

[@mala3isity]

@@sandysullivan3098 Didn't know that either. I'd love to hear the story behind that name.

[@heidistutzman3278]

I met him back in 2009, he’s a sweet man and an amazing guitarist, deserving of his own fragrance namesake!

[@jackiesasfai4162]

@@VeronicaSays I don’t either, but do follow a lot of musicians and knew who he was!! Never was a Black Sabbath fan, before my time!😂😂❤️

OMG! I thought I was the only one who keeps a spreadsheet of all the perfumes I have tried😂, with ratings and comments. I also totally agree that you should give the perfume a full day of wear to give it a fair review. I enjoyed your video.

Girl!!! When you held up the bottle of Blanche Bête, I hollered! I did not expect that! Good for you for buying what you love. Its always exciting to find a fantastic scent.

Haha! I had to have it. It's a love or hate for most, but I needed a bottle. 💖💖💖

I always enjoy hearing your opinions 🥰 Followed is a fragrance I really love. However I couldn't imagine smelling like coffee but I love spraying my decant in the car to wake me up in the morning 😃

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Nicole! 💖 aawww thank you! Love the idea of Follow used as a pick me up in the car - brilliant! 💯

[@luloops]

Tony Iommi is the lead guitarist for Black Sabbath and after he lost his finger, he placed a metal prosthetic over his finger to continue playing for Black Sabbath. That's what gave the gritty unique sound to their music.

[@VeronicaSays]

😯😯😯 What an interesting story! Thanks for sharing. I've rarely listened to any Black Sabbath but now I'm intrigued to hear more. 👌👌👌

[@luloops]

@@VeronicaSays I really didn't either. I only know this because my son is a guitarist and Tony Iommi is one of his favorite musicians. Wait until I tell him he is also a perfumer. lol

Awesome video! You covered some good ones here! I absolutely love the new Kayali, and I’m one of those who recommend Creme de Cuir. I really loved it as it warmed on my skin throughout the day… wore it a few days in the fall and can’t wait to wear it again in spring. I think the fruits come out more with some warmth. 💕

I really like Blanche Bete. I have a nice size decant. It reminds me of an Horchata and the Methods Rice Milk body wash. It’s definitely full bottle worthy. I absolutely enjoy this series!

You did such a great job reviewing them - straight to the point & in a diplomatic way 🥰 I was so close blind buying Iris Malikhan, but I already have a nice niche Iris + leather perfume, so now I'm glad I postponed. About Santal Basmati - it's 165€ for 50ml here in Europe, so I'm on a lookout for a better deal, especially if it's on a lighter side..

I love these videos, thank you! I love hearing how differently people perceive fragrances. Everyone's knows and experience varies. Love seeing what other people get. Some of these I have tried and love, or do NOT love. I would be interested in hearing some more of the ones that are similar to the ones that you said you have ones that scratch the itch for you. Especially if they're very hyped, it would be nice to hear some other ones that you find to be a better experience of that type of fragrance.

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Sarah! 💖 Noted - I'll try to remember to share more of the "itch is scratched by X" ones. I'm trying to keep the videos at a reasonable length, so I'll have to figure something out.

[@sarahglen1140]

@@VeronicaSays Nice, thank you! That sounds like it would be fun!

[@Moraima_Buonafede]

Wow, wow! You are definitely discounting a lot! I have just started on that bandwagon after so many terrible, blind byes. I am jumping into trying before buying for sure. Definitely agree with a lot of your feelings about many other fragrances, I first tried on decants ruby red, which I absolutely loved and gotten myself a full size bottle. It works great on me not the biggest projector, but it’s still a beautiful fragrance and I love the ginger that fragrance. And also Blanche Bete made to the collection after trying ❤❤❤

[@VeronicaSays]

Hey gorgeous! I'm still a fan of blind buying but WOW! These bottle prices get scary. 😩 It's fun to sample a bunch and "scratch the curiosity itch." Ruby Red is definitely pretty. Glad to hear it works well for you! 💖

[@kristiepp22]

Lol! The eye twitch when talking about the longevity of Amouage Dia! I was mad when I bought Vanilla Royale Sugared Patchouli but it has grown on me and I love it! What about pop! is fantastic! I don't wear it often but I love it.

[@VeronicaSays]

Ooooof! Dia was here to stay forever. I probably need to give that one another try. I was rather harsh with that one. 😩 What About Pop - yes. Can't see wearing that one daily but wow is it delicious!

[@tammyroxanne.]

I find these types of videos so helpful! And your descriptions are especially helpful, they really get the idea of each fragrance to translate to my brain Lol I have placed a couple of sample orders lately, and Blanche Bête is one of the ones I’m getting! I’m pretty hopeful that I will like it, especially after you saying it reminds you of Psychedelic love, because I love that one! And you mentioned a similarity to Lavandes Trianon which I also love the vibe of, (just found it a little too sweet for me) I don’t typically plan on buying full bottles when I get samples, for me I just really want to smell them! I’m so curious and I want to be ‘in on it’ when everyone’s talking about them! Lol Even so I tend to buy all spray samples and no dabbers these days so I can really get the full experience of it 😊 Of the ones you mentioned, I only have samples of 724 (which totally reminds me of either Cool cotton or Warm cotton by Clean) and What About Pop .. which should be totally up my alley, I love salty sweet combos and popcorn notes, but I found the sweetness absolutely nuclear and it had and overwhelming smokiness… Definitely will play around with it more though because it’s a scent profile I would typically like. I really appreciated your descriptions of Vanilla royale, Soleil passion and Material, because I’ve been going back-and-forth about whether to get samples of these ones! 🙏🏼🥰

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Tammy! 💖 I'm glad you enjoy this type of video too. To be honest, I, like you, sample to be in the know because I am NOSY and have FOMO 😂😂😂 If it amounts to a full bottle worthy sample, awesome. If not, it's totally okay to have experienced it, like you said. Would love to hear your thoughts on Blanche Bête when you try it. It's certainly been super polarizing! I am on the fence about Material. Still thinking about it a lot.

[@b25mech]

I appreciate your honesty. I’m pretty new to the fragrance world and can only afford a few gems.

Ever since Blanche Bête came out, I've been very curious about trying it. Love lactonic scents. BTW, Tony Iommi is the guitarist of Black Sabbath. Maybe he's a bit of a fraghead. I've been wanting to test it out too. (I've been a metalhead longer than a fraghead...). Was laughing my butt off when flashing subtitles saying you'd probably buy it anyways came on the screen as you were saying you didn't really need that fragrance. I'm sure a lot of viewers can relate to that! Great video. Thanks! 😉

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Catherine! 🥰 If you love milky fragrances, I would say Blanche Bête is worth sampling. Thanks for the note on Tony Iommi! Gosh. I should have Googled that ahead of the video. 🥴

[@CatherineBriseboisCatWoods]

@@VeronicaSays I was weirded out the first time I heard of this fragrance. I don't really think of Metal and fragrances having somekind of a crossover. It's pretty funny. Btw, you nailed ''cuir''. I know, it feel odd to say kweer...

[@VeronicaSays]

@Catherine Brisebois (Cat Woods) I think it's kinda cool! 💖 Wonder what the connection is for Xerjoff though.

[@CatherineBriseboisCatWoods]

@@VeronicaSays No idea about the connexion. Maybe he was a fan of a few of their fragrances and they offered to make him one and market it. Supposedly, Gérard Depardieu (French actor) has his own personalized fragrance that he only wears. Kinda like the original L'interdit for Audrey Hepburn.

You are a very honest reviewer. I must say that MFK 724 , to me, follows the clean girl aesthetic. Another reviewer said if you wear it you will smell like a clean goddess and I had to buy it. I will wear it with a clean crisp button up, faded but classy jeans and sandals while shopping or brunching outdoors. Blanche Bete smells like hairspray to me.

Great video and also inspiring me to be more thoughtful around my plan to keep collection under 45. I’ve decluttered a lot and my rule is, I have to LOVE it on me and if the fragrance exists in a 30ml, I’ll buy it in that size. (MFK has most in 35ml). I did purchase Iris Makikhan in that size and it’s one of my only Iris fragrances and also edgy and different enough. I can’t get enough of sandalwood, and have enjoyed Santal Basmati for bedtime. I agree on Gentle Fluidity Gold! But please try Encore from Teo Cabanel! At 30 ml price point it was worth it and my nose is responding in the cozy, warm carrot cake vibe they intended it to be.

Thank you so much! 💖 Yes, buying smaller bottles is ideal if they are available. 👌 I have tried Encore and several others from Teo Cabanel - lovely perfume lineup all the way! 🙌💯

[@PaolaBianka]

Sugared Patchouli though 😂 Perfect decision in my part for not getting a full bottle right away 😅 Glad to hear your thoughts on Iris Malikhan… almost blind bought it based on the reviews saying it’s an iris gourmand, but good thing I sampled it first.. What About Pop has a spicy mid and base that makes it unique as far as a popcorn scent goes 😊 not as long lasting and as projecting as I expected though… Really interesting how we smell fragrances right ? I lot of people get strong florals in Blanche Bete… it was very faint on me … i got another sample vial, and I’ll compare how it is 😊 but i know i will still love it 😅 i hate that it is so freaking expensive 😅

[@VeronicaSays]

Hey Paola! 💖 Oh yes, let me know your thoughts on the second Blanche Bête sample. I'd be curious to know. Iris Malakhan is wonderful! Don't let me deter you. I just don't need it. Spoiler alert - I ordered Iris Poudre by Frederick Malle. 👌👌👌

[@mzchievious]

I like to describe Blanche bete as fluffy 😂 I love it…and it’s a conversation piece when I wear it. The sillage is beautiful when I pass people they kind of look like what was that? But in a good way 😂 Iris malikhan is another favorite of mine it’s a dusty aromatic scent to me love the video!!

I enjoyed this video because you covered so many things I hadn't tried! The only one I've sampled is Delina La Rosée, which didn't knock my socks off, although it is certainly lovely. I've been curious about Material, but like you I have Absolute Aphrodisiac so I probably don't need it. You've piqued my interest in Blanche Bête!

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Paula! 💖 Blanche Bête is worth sampling. Apparently, it's quite polarizing, so be sure to try it. Material is tempting! I love that bottle. I'm trying to be honest with myself, though the truth is that I want them ALLLL. 😩🥴😁

[@ggbice]

Hello Veronica! Great video. So true about sampling, niche can be very pricey, sample sizes may be too small and you can't get a good enough wear. I bought Molinard Vanilla fruitee sample, then fb, love it but it's fleeting, Had I bought two samples, it would have been better. I get whiffs only. I think I'm anosmic to it. Their reforms, all took a significant hit in performance; live and learn. First and last bottle buy. I'm not paying for water, despite reasonable prices. Btw thanks for reviewing frags as you have them listed, I skip ahead or listen twice. FOLLOWED* not as popular as OG. Have read lots of reviews that compliment the scent, but note that its a beast, and forget about spraying on clothing. I've got FOLLOW on my sample buy list. Yes, the house history is v.interesting, and the perfumes are diverse. Saw a video on "the smell guy"/Sebastian, with the owner. Love, love, love iris/violette, and latonic centric perfumes. Zara Violette Blossom, one of my favs. Fresh Cream, Philosophy (both varieties) are must haves. The Cashmere is less latonic, more sweet, and the shower gel scent lingers in my shower. ***The body cream lasts overnight.

[@VeronicaSays]

Hey Francine! 💖 Oh I love Fresh Cream, Warm Cashmere. I wish I was better about wearing lotion, I would totally buy that one! Yes, I hear that Kerosene is beastly. I recently purchased three and I could smell them as soon as I opened the box! 😯😯😯 I'm sorry the Molinard didn't work out. I thought you loved that one 😔😔😔

Love Blanche bete!! My bf seems so love it as well!

Hi, Always enjoy your videos, always funny. I was thinking to purchase Santal Basmati, is intriguing to me. Glad you mentioned it. I'm a big fan of Amouage and Rojas, Material is second after Portrayal. I tried Starlight, oh boy, picture going to Mexican restaurant, the smell open the door, the chips, tequila and margaritas, you always leave very happy....going back.😊

[@VeronicaSays]

I would love a bottle of Santal Basmati! It's very pricey though. So you agree with the tortilla chip reference for Starlight? I mean, YES, it's a happy association! 😊😊😊

Agree Delina la rosee is pleasant but as you said it’s a scent profile that has been done already and can be found at 7-10 times cheaper 😂. Personally I would not recommend you to splurge on PDM prices even if the bottle is lovely ❤

[@VeronicaSays]

You are correct. I would never pay the full price. It will show up on sale soon enough - they usually do! 🥰💖🥰💖

[@journeywithme_erika1890]

But they smell so good and on my they last I am a PDM fan for sure but I never buy full price...well I did on a small Delina 🥰🤣

[@amandadonnalonghurstjackso8744]

Great Video Veronica, I don't buy niche, so I prefer to spend the 10 or 20 you'd spend on a sample on a full bottle of perfume. Bearing in mind I'm good a choosing the combination of notes that I like and don't deviate much into trends and popularity. My spend range is 10 to 60 maximum. Out of 200 perfumes I've bought over 3 years, only about 5 of them were duds that I passed on to others who wanted them. So that's how I managed my collection without becoming a liability.

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Amanda! Sounds like you have a great system worked out for yourself. BTW, there are lots of websites in the states where we can purchase decants for well under $10 each, and even more when they run sales. It's a fun way to try a lot of different ones. 👍👍👍

[@ScentSiblingsDotCA]

Oooh. I wanted to know your opinions on some of these! I have a retraction that I need to do about the Sugared Patchouli - I'm loving it, and after letting it sit, the performance has gotten better. I was 100% sure you'd love Blanch Bête!!! Hurrah! :)

[@VeronicaSays]

Thanks, J! I swear, I believe our perceptions of performance have something to do with factors like hormones and weather. 🤔🤔🤔 Glad it grew on you.

[@thebelissima64]

OMG, I’ve received my bottle of Blanche Bête today and I am completely stunned! My husband loved it! You’re so right, it’s not like Xerjoff’s Italica at all, it’s absolutely magical. It is at a higher price range but considering its sillage and longevity, a little goes a long way. It’s the kind of fragrance that makes me feel special ❤

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Bella, which fragrance are you talking about?

Verónica, bonjour. How are you :)? Great intro! Samples are super expensive to try because before you know it, you hoarded! Next, absolutely you need a full day wear and even recognize that the wear can change depending on mood, season, hydration and even emotional state! Great introductory comment!

I'm still kicking myself for not picking up Starlight when it was heavily discounted a few weeks ago. I'm currently obsessed with this fragrance! Meanwhile- yes- I completely agree that Ruby Red fades far too quickly. I've run into that with a few of their fragrances. Thanks for another great video!

[@DanielleNicoleMakeup]

I have the House of Oud Ruby Red bottle and I am in LOVE with this scent. I basically get a spicy candied ginger, will be perfect for summer/date nights. BUT the projection and longevity isn't good so it's not just your decant. I overspray big time and it would probably be a signature scent if it had better performance. But I love the scent so I'd absolutely buy it again. It pairs perfectly with Sabrena Carpenter's Sweet Tooth so that helps me not blow through the bottle

[@VeronicaSays]

Hey Danielle! 💖 I love a good ginger note too. Have you ever tried Ginger Essence by Origins? I wonder if the lotion of it would pair nicely with Ruby Red. 🤔

[@DanielleNicoleMakeup]

​@@VeronicaSays No I'll have to look into that!

[@DanielleNicoleMakeup]

Omg there are so many on this list I want to try! Kayali Vanilla Royale is one of my favorite fragrances of all time 😂 I'm getting a back up 🤣 It's like a sweet gourmand with sexy leather. I get zero fruit haha!

[@DanielleNicoleMakeup]

Ok you gotta drop what fragrances remind you of this fragrance. I am dying to know! 🥰

[@VeronicaSays]

That fruity weirdness was only in that initial blast, but like overly ripe rotting fruit. And it worked somehow 😂 I love a good leather, too. The Rasasi is Somow Al Rasasi Ma'ali. Not identical, but some similarities.

[@DanielleNicoleMakeup]

​@@VeronicaSays thank you! I will definitely look into this one! For me there is a huge blast of rum and oud. Wonder if Rum is made from fruits bc that would make total sense!

[@mariezapanta8839]

Hello Veronica! I sampled Seta, What About Pop and Blanche Bete and thought they were full bottle worthy, but then they changed on me or my skin. I had to give Seta and Blanche Bete away and I’m planning to revisit What About Pop in a few months. I had the same experience with Rouge Malachite, Italica, Greenwich Village and Rosendo Mateu 5, but I kept them because I found a way to like them all by layering them. 724 and most Kayali are just a pass for me. I’m with you on Sublime Vanille, overpriced but I hunted for it in its discounted price, found it in one of the Canadian fragrance outlets and yeah, it’s not mind blowing, just easy to wear. I agree with you on Amouage fragrances, the price is consistent with the performance, uniqueness and artistry(bottles), but I find them very difficult to wear even when layered, though I’ve seen reviews on their new one Guidance which is supposedly easier to wear and beautiful, need to try that. What an excellent video! Have a wonderful weekend, Veronica!

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Marie! 💖 Thank you very much! I'm sorry to hear that all of those fragrances don't behave well on you. Shucks! And awesome that you got Sublime Vanille for a good discount. It's super wearable! 👌 I totally agree about many Amouages being too challenging, but I give them their artistic credit for sure. 💯

[@Redwine7911]

Hey Veronica, thank you for the great video! I recently got HoO Ruby Red. I am a huge ginger fan and try to get as many as possible. I blind bought it, and upon 1st spray I was super disappointed, because it's so close to Hugo Boss Deep Red, that I thought it would be redundant in my collection. I sprayed it all over, and thought it gone after some 4-5 hours - another disappointment. Until the evening shower, some 8 hours later. I kept sniffing that soft spicy tender white floral scent, and had no idea where it's coming from. Turns out it was me, my skin. That fragrance, stayed on skin for over 12 hours, soft and unbothered. The next day I tried Deep Red, and while yes, the profile is very close, the blend and the feel are completely different. Deep Red is sharp, even screechy, compared to Ruby Red. I will keep it, and use it freely. I will probably not repurchase, but I will enjoy it while it's with me.

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi there! 💖 This is amazing! Thanks for much for sharing your experience with Ruby Red! Sounds like it has a lot of merit if we just give it a chance. 👍👍👍

[@peiwoody8509]

I'm not sure which Dia you tried, but I personally own Dia Woman and I adore it. It's a clean aldehydic scent that also has some underlying floral notes. It's my boyfriend's favorite scent on me, and he doesn't use any fragrance at all. In my opinion, it's a mass pleasing fragrance

🤣 skanky crème brûlée has to be the only time I’ve heard that for anything. Vanilla Royale is a love for me that layers well with a lot of things, but patchouli also doesn’t make me run like it does for most people. All of my Bonds have been deeply discounted, so totally with you on having a high bar to clear past a certain price point.
