Some inexpensive fragrances were once expensive. I have found price often has no reflection of scent or quality. ❤️

[@VeronicaSays]

Amen to that!! Say it louder so everyone can hear you. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@brigittelehmann9749]

So true

[@sheilalloyd4548]

Exactly!!

[@renataklein4776]

Agreed

[@Kiran09deep]

Yess❤️❤️

[@Spicylooks]

Some affordable fragrances smells great .. sometimes even better than the expensive ones

[@VeronicaSays]

Yessss! And you pulled out some WONDERFUL ones in your recent video. I really enjoyed that video 👌👌👌

[@karie3212]

Watching old videos and I bought 007 off your recommendation. The second I sprayed it, it unlocked a memory from my childhood that had been long lost. It practically made me cry. It’s crazy how smells can immediately transport us. Just wanted to share and say thank you 💜

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Karie! 💖 Awww I hope it was a good memory for you 🙏🙏🙏 Thanks for sharing!

[@sniffingfragrance4767]

I love cheappies as well!! I like that you can have many fragraces for certain amount of money . Instead of buying something expensive 🙂💗

[@VeronicaSays]

Yes it's great to buy five or more for the price of one higher end one, right? Thank you for watching my lovely friend!

“An 80’s outfit with big shoulder pads and hair” 😂😂😂😂 That bottle!

[@VeronicaSays]

Yup!! Full on 80s power suit with shoulder pads. 😂😂😂

[@sarahannsmith3129]

'A bad '80's outfit'.....love it! I haven't heard of many of these, but I agree on the Brittney 'Midnight' ...it was a nice surprise! I got it a few months back at Ross Dress for Less, as a 'blind buy', and will probably buy more soon!

[@VeronicaSays]

Yes, what a funny looking bottle. 😆 Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy is wonderful! Such a fun and flirty fragrance. 💖 Thanks for watching!!

[@alid2724]

My favourites : fancy Jessica Simpson/ fantasy Britney Spears/ Rihanna rebl fleur/ kenzo flower/ Nina ricci rose extase/ pink sugar aquolina/cloud/ gold couture/ fatale intense

[@VeronicaSays]

Great list. Who makes Gold Couture? Is that a Juicy one?

[@iglesias0813]

Hi beautiful, I'm glad you and some other ones showing these kind of videos. Not everyone has the coin for niche fragances or even some designer ones. It makes me happy with skme of you think in all kinds of crowd. You're awesome, I love your personality. Happy Jueves Linda 💐💐❤️

[@VeronicaSays]

Hola Yoshira, thank you sooooo much. I love fragrances in all price ranges!! I do not discriminate, no matter if it's $3 or $300. If it smells good, I want it! 😁 We need a variety of options. Thank you for your kind comments.

[@MsRedeye1980]

I feel the same about STILL. It's been a staple for me since it launched. So good!! Happy to see you hype it up, it deserves it.

[@VeronicaSays]

Yes! I've gone through MANY bottles of it. 🥰🥰🥰

[@olihaga9736]

Hahaha Desirade bottle looks like an alien mothership🤣. My favourite 'cheapies' are: Cerutti 1881, Chopard Casmir, Boucheron Jaipur bracelet, Boucheron Quatre and some Jenny Glow perfumes (wood&sage, velvet&oud) which are good dupes of Jo Malone and Jenny Glow Gaby (great dupe of Gabrielle but so nicely done, much fresher, I like it more than the original).

[@VeronicaSays]

Yes, that Desiderade bottle will take us to outer space. 😆 Those are great cheapies. I would love to try the Jenny Glo version of Gabrielle. I had the essence version bug sold it. I loved it so much but only got 30 mins performance. Ugh. Thanks for watching! 💖

[@olihaga9736]

@@VeronicaSays yeah it's worth trying out, paid 8 euros for 30ml and I love it. Already finished a bottle of it. It lasts really well.

I’m sure I’m one of many of your subscribers who ordered Still , out of curiosity but also as a friendship connection. I call my bottle Veronica. I blind bought a few Elizabeth Taylor perfumes and was actually impressed. Violet Eyes is my favorite so far. I love your descriptive, beautifully worded style of speaking. You must read a lot.

I love Guess by Marciano. It starts off smelling like a cotton candy’ish scent (not my preference) but it quickly dries down and settles into a richer scent.

[@VeronicaSays]

Ooooh sounds WONDERFUL! Thanks for sharing! 💖🤩🥳

Paris Hilton Can Can... Rihanna Rebl Fleur..Coty Exclamation .. Lou Lou Cacheral.. Byzance by Rochas.. Lou Lou and Byzance used to be expensive I've worn them for 20 plus years .. their not as good as they once were but they still perform beautifully!! ✌🏼💯 Also Liz Claiborne is decent .. to my nose it's a tea scent.. Also Halston is a beast mode and you can get it at Walgreens for around 20

[@VeronicaSays]

Thanks for sharing this little gem with the world! 💎 💎 💎

[@OsloTime]

O0oo, great recommendations!! I'm excited to try some of these. 😺 I found Oscar De La Renta Esprit D'Oscar. It is a VERY powdery, warm, fragrance. I wore it once hanging out with a friend and she literally said to me "Why do you smell like a rich baby?" HAHAHA I was laughing my ass off! It does smell rich but I pictured a baby with a diamond necklace and Berkin and I lost it lol. 😂😂😂 But that one I found at Ross for $19.99. I has aged SOoo well, I've had it 4 years, I like it more now even. The liquid has turned a darker gold color, like amber, its so pretty and I wear it in the winter during the holidays i spray my turtlebecks and it so comfy and warm feeling. ❄️☃️ I love it for a few days of the year lol. I would wear it on a dream date to go ice skating in Central Park while it's snowing lightly or something haha. 🤭 9:20 That sounds soo good! I will definitely be trying this soon.

[@VeronicaSays]

Hello! 💖 Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Esprit d'Oscar. Doesn't everyone want to smell like a rich baby? 🥰 I love your description! 🫶

[@MsBarbara.651]

I agree. The desirade bottle is ridiculous. I love that perfume. Not really the opening, but the dry down. The pineapple comes out and it's to die for.

[@VeronicaSays]

Right?! It's such a bizarre design choice. 🤔 The dry down is super cool on this one though.

[@otreasureo]

Still by JLo reminds me of a GREAT summer in 2008. Such a compliment getter as I remember! I recently bought a bought with the non-cursive font and it wasn't as good as I remember, sadly. BUT... I'd love to get my hands on an older bottle because that scent is just everything!

[@VeronicaSays]

How awesome!! I have such great memories of it too. 🥰 And have gotten many compliments on it! Check Mercari or ebay for an older bottle.

I bought "Still" because of you. I've had it a few weeks now and I really like it. Smells more expensive than it is. And I also have and like the "White Diamonds Night" and "5th Avenue Royale". Both are such good value.

Okay I have to tell you I bought Desirade out of curiosity and it smells like a hair salon in 1973 in a nice way. It's as though a group of ladies wearing Jean Nate and Emeraude have been sprayed with Aquanet. It makes me picture olive green tufted velvet seating rounds.

It’s the new formulation.. it last long on me, it’s such a versatile scent. Easy grab and go . Thank you!

Hello Ms Veronica. I am still plugging along with your many wonderful videos. This one I am so pleased to find, as with fixed income and economy it is a blessing to find these affordable fragrances in these times. I have found the Brittany Spears and love it. Also a very beautiful one by Mariah Carey called “M” and three by Elizabeth Arden - Pretty, Red Door and 5th Avenue (not royale). These fragrances are all so very nice and I am happy to now have a lovely little collection of perfumes. I wear a different one each day, but I must let you know that on the days I wear your recommended Tocade or Amarige are the days I get compliments on my perfume. I shall forever be grateful to have found your channel and the most appreciated advice and reviews you share.

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Marci! Thanks for watching this older video! I hope you love Vera Wang Princess! 💖💖💖

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

Omg Sand and Sable was a throw back

[@VeronicaSays]

Waaaaaay back, right?! 🤩

[@Katmorrow90]

Soon as you brought out the Desirade fragrance I just started laughing immediately. It’s soooo gawdy 😂 Some bottles are just… 😱🤦‍♀️

[@VeronicaSays]

Right?! Oh my GOD. That bottle is ridiculous 😆

[@patriciat229]

My mom loved that darn cafe

[@VeronicaSays]

Thanks for watching! 💖🥰

[@t.mcgrew732]

Hi 👋 Veronica! Tocade is 😍

[@t.mcgrew732]

That Aubusson bottle....Woah! 😆I have placed Britney Spears in cart sooo many times....may try now!

[@VeronicaSays]

I know!!! It's such an embarrassing bottle. 😳 🤣 You can't go wrong with the Britney Spears for the price.

[@CeylonCleo]

I love my affordable fragrances too! I also don't like the word "Cheapies"! I don't know who coined that word. I have heard a lot about Tocade by Rochas. 😊Didn't know Christina had a fragrance line too. It seems like every celebrity has a fragrances line. JLo's line has great fragrances! 🤩 Great line up babe! 🤩

[@VeronicaSays]

Yesss, it feels like such a crass word. 🥴 I think you would enjoy Tocade! And the Christina fragrance is a sweet one too. Hard to go wrong! Thank you for watching! 🥰🥰🥰

[@RGSuperfan]

Tocade is soooo special to me! I was given this perfume when I entered senior high school. It was... Ages ago.. >

[@VeronicaSays]

It's a good one! 💖💖💖

[@HappinessSparkles]

Omg I love my cheapies 🥰

[@VeronicaSays]

Yes you and me both 👌👌👌

[@natalyarciniegaspalacio7621]

Major thanks for this video! I am always so tempted to spend what I can't afford at the moment and this video is the voice of reason I need to hear. I mean, if there are legitimately good fragrances for more reasonable prices, how can I indulge in pricier ones in this economy? Perhaps in the future when my wallet won't rip, I'll get the Narciso Rodrigues Poudrée that I love. By any chance, have you tried Yardley perfumes? They are so affordable, and they have a Honeysuckle one that I'm trying to get my hands on. It's quite the opposite problem where you want to collect them all since they don't hit your pocket so hard haha.

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi there! Thanks so much 💖 I have tried Yardley perfumes but it's been a long time, to be honest. You raise a great point - you could buy 5 inexpensive bottles or 1 or 2 expensive ones with the same money. It really all depends on personal choice and preference, and how you want to curate your collection. There isn't a right or wrong way. 👍👍👍

[@donnaaustin5243]

Desirade sounds interesting - cool bottle. Again loving your look & top. Is it a robe or blouse? 😘

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Donna! Thank you so much. It's a top - I filmed a few videos in one day. If I find the link to the top, I'll send it to you in DM. I have it in about 4 colors.

[@donnaaustin5243]

@@VeronicaSays yes pls. I love the colors! Thanks Veronica😊

[@Danit.Talkscentswithme]

I used to wear sand n sable and vanilla fields and exclamation as a teenager lol I kind of want exclamation just for the nostalgia

[@VeronicaSays]

Oh wow!! You should totally get Exclamation and see if it's what you remember! I remember thinking it was GREAT! 😁

[@naturopathicobsessedrenee5515]

Hmmmmm. Does the tocade remind you of cinema at all? I'm searching for an alternative because it lasts an hour on me but I love it so much so I'm searching for something to layer with it❤️️

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Renee! I've never tried Cinema so I can't comment on it, unfortunately. Have you tried layering with a fragrance-free emollient cream?

[@naturopathicobsessedrenee5515]

@@VeronicaSays yes I have. Oil as well. It’s just one of those my body eats up but I love it. It’s a dry floral vanilla. Almost powdery in that it has a smooth feel to it. I will check the notes and compare and might wind up adding tocade to the never ending list😂. Thank you!

[@jennlecher5604]

OMG!! That’s why you look so familiar to me!! Jennifer Lopez. You look (and kind of sound like) Jennifer Lopez!! I’m going to have to check out that fragrance now. It sounds lovely.

[@VeronicaSays]

😂😂😂 Awwww thanks Jenn! I'm a JLo fan so that is a huge compliment to me. 🤩 Still is a staple in my house - so easy and versatile to wear. 💖💖💖

[@HappinessSparkles]

I want to do this so badly 🤦‍♀️I am going to try and do it

[@VeronicaSays]

Oh please do! I tag YOU Frances! 😁

[@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134]

I appreciate affordable fragrances because I have a lot of females to buy for of different ages. One year I was broke and resorted to 3 for $9 at Rainbow for some young nieces who were thrilled.

[@VeronicaSays]

Yes! They make great gifts. There are so many affordable gems out there to explore! Fragrances don't have to cost an arm and a leg.

[@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134]

@@VeronicaSays Several years ago TJ Maxx had a shipment of UR by Usher, 30ml for $6 and my niece loved it. Later I saw it and bought the last 6 bottles, fit them into a blue cookie tin, and the look on her face when she opened it was priceless.

[@VeronicaSays]

@@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134 how sweet!

[@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134]

I finally figured out what Debut by Night reminds me of - a preppier version of Giorgio Red, especially dried way down.

[@VeronicaSays]

I love that! Giorgio Red - throwback!!

[@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134]

@@VeronicaSays It's buttoned up at the top and then it's Red.

[@HarrisPilton789]

⁠Giorgio Red was my first grown up fragrance. I bought a bottle last year and it was awful. It’s been reformulated terribly. I will try Debut by Night to see what I think about it.

[@jennysevarino6104]

My favorite inexpensive perfume is Halloween and Halloween shot from the house of Jesus del pozo , a perfume house that don’t really get any attention is cheap and skin pleasant.

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Jenny! Oh yessss! Jesus del Pozo has some lovely fragrances! 💖💖💖

[@Spikypotato.]

Love your humour😂 Is the White Diamonds a bit ysl opium-ish? I got a bottle of opium as a little girl from my mums friend (imagaine that😅) but now I cannot afford it.

[@VeronicaSays]

Awww thank you! 💖🥰 No, I do not think Black Opium is like White Diamonds. Black Opium is heavy on the vanilla whereas White Diamonds is heavy on White florals.

[@lynnie4365]

Absolutely adore Exclamation! It's super cheap, was created by Sophia Grosjman, in my opinion the best nose in the perfume world.

[@VeronicaSays]

Yeah! Awesome. Thanks for weighing in! 💖

[@renataklein4776]

I want that blueberry Britney Spears one.

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Renata, it smells wonderful! 👌🏼💕

[@ScentSiblingsDotCA]

I shall be back to watch...just want you to know that...in case you didn't know that...now you know that... xoxoxo

[@VeronicaSays]

Now I know 😆

[@ScentSiblingsDotCA]

@@VeronicaSays And so now I am back to say that I DID watch and I DID enjoy our time together as always. I never fast forward through your videos. (And don't anyone gasp in judgey horror and be all batting your eyelashes like, "I would NEVER..." You do it. I do it. I even fast forward my own stinkn' videos, so...) I just really love our perfume chats. I have not smelled one, not even ONE of these fragrances, and yet I watched. I will tell you that based on your descriptions I feel like I can totally mind-smell all of these. I'm so grateful to have found you because I LOVE perfume, and I love talking about it and listening to people (YOU!) talk about it irrespective of whether or not I've ever even heard of it. I love the community you've introduced me to, and I'm just a happy human to have you in my KZbin life. Thank you. (Also, your editing game is ON FIRE!)
