I realize I should have filmed these categories in reverse order from easy everyday to bizarre. I started with the bizarre ones first. 🤭 Sorry if that first pick scared you! 😱

Hello my dear!!!! Loved this video because it's different from the rinse, wash, and repeat fragrance videos we see all over YT, and above all, it'll help many people decide what to go for, especially when they're just getting started. Clap clap you never disappoint 🙌💖💖 and please don't risk your life for the sake of fragrances 😂😂😂

Veronica, I enjoy your videos so much. Thank you for sharing your expertise. I have loved fragrance since childhood. My mother allowed me to order Avon perfumes at an early age as an introduction for a little girl to wear a " perfume" ( she was a Chanel lady) As an adult, I eventually worked for Lancome, and Christian Dior and worked in the fragrance department also. I will never outgrown my love of cosmetics and lovely scents.

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Barbara! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Oh my goodness, I LOVED looking through the Avon catalog as a kid and circling what I was interested in, including fragrances! 💖 The perfume counters were always fun too.

Simply put… You are amazing! It’s clear that you are very down to earth and enjoy a fragrance because of what it is versus the high end label that’s on the bottle. Thoroughly enjoy your personality that shines through big time on your videos! Also loved the video of you and your hubby! You guys are too ca-ute! Thanks for being awesome Veronica! 😇🙏🏼💕

Your so welcome! I’ve been out of perfumes since maybe 2002 ish. I would just buy BBW body sprays except the one bottle of perfume I had, which I think was the original Tresor for date nights with hubby. So I am back to building a collection again and your videos, along with a few other ladies here on KZbin are helping me to build a collection again. Many thanks! 🙏🏼. I’ve been binge watching you. 😂

[@VeronicaSays]

Thank you so much! 💖🥰 I'm looking forward to thinking about what a starter list would look like. Any recommendations?

[@mala3isity]

@@VeronicaSays The categories are good. Candy, Gourmand & Sweet are still big so the differences and then safe choices. Sandalwood, patchouli & musk are good separated. Still "hippie" vibes following them around, leery about "dirty.". I know you don't do many "under $20" scents but starters are either strict budgeters or scared, either way, don't want to spend a lot on an experiment. Links to decants for the "not to be missed" or "the best choice?" Short explanation of what each genre entails. Confusion around fresh/green/clean/herbal. Oriental not always white floral. LOL Turning into a two-parter. My collection is very small, specific and strictly scent driven. I have no idea where they fall in strength or notes so can't reco with those parameters. If you like, I can email what I have and why I chose them. You put in a lot of work, I'll do the same for you. :)

[@mariezapanta8839]

Wowwwwww!!! You have a huge collection even after your “reflectolution” curation😊😊😊 I’m so glad you survived the ladder 🤣🤣🤣. From your repeated recommendation, I bought Cafe Cabanel….omg, I hate myself for not getting it sooner……sooooo good!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Hello Richmond neighbor! I loved this video. Your fragrances are so unique and you explain them so well. I really enjoy your choices because they aren’t the same hyped up fragrances on other channels I see to ad nauseum. I’ve been burned a few times in blind buying a few of these hyped fragrances. It was my choice to purchase so I blame myself instead of the you tuber who promoted it. Your safari journey kept me in stitches!😂 If you ever fall I know many docs and nurses in the ER at Chippenham and I can certainly hook you up! Lol.I used to work in the cardiac ICU and cardiac surgery pre/post area. I look forward to seeing your videos.❤️ Regards, Jeanette

If this captures your post-declutter collection (i.e. what we can see on the shelves, not just the ones you talked about), I'd say you did a great job of pruning! You also mentioned one that hadn't been on my radar (Soleil Neige) that I will have to try. Great video!

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Paula! 💖 Yes, the ongoing "pruning" is starting to show results. Everything feels much more orderly now. Soleil Neige is underrated for sure - really great! 🤩🤩🤩

[@sarahglen1140]

Great video! I really enjoy your content, I just think it's so fun and always great stuff that I haven't necessarily heard of before. I have been debating if I should even try for Rouge Malachite, or if I should just spring for the dupe you talked about for it? How is the dry down on it? I still feel like a beginner, and have a baby collection. Not trying to go crazy with it... Yet 😂

[@VeronicaSays]

Thanks so much, Sarah! 💖🥰 We're alllll still beginners in our own ways. Rouge Malachite is a floral gem, especially in the dry down. However, it's super pricey so if you're unsure I suggest getting a decant first or trying the dupe I shared. The dupe is spot on! Luxury Rouge by Riiffs.

[@sharoncruz9901]

Wonderful video! I am not exactly new to fragrance, but def not a big collector. I have my eye on that TH Soleil Neige. I’ve smelled it in Sephora a few times. Going to rewatch this and take some notes (NPI 😂).

[@Jenn_N]

Thanks for taking us on this safari Veronica! It was a fun trip through your fragrances! It sounds like if you decide to do a declutter video, it could be epic! When I think about easy reach fragrances they are usually not my most complex fragrances. They are ones I know people like and are not going to offend in certain situations. Things that smell like clean musk are easy choices. People love to smell vanilla, so that is another easy choice. Light florals tend to be popular as well. I saw the commentary on Black Orchid and whoah! I am surprised more men aren't wearing it because if that is true, then women should love that scent on a man. 😆Men should hate that scent on a woman. That truffle note is pretty savoury though. I thought it was stinky feet but was really something else. 😅 Have a super day! - Jenn

[@VeronicaSays]

Heeeey Jenn! Thanks for going on Safari with me! 😂 I enjoyed being a tour guide. Yes, easy reaches are totally ones that most other people would enjoy. Tom Ford's vision for Black Orchid... oh my! 😵😵😵 I can't unsee those notes! Pun intended. 🤣

which one? there are several in blue bottles.

Yes, New York Sparkle.

I just got Nishane Hundred Silent Ways and enjoy it so much. I am surprised how much I love Serge Lutens house- just ordered one more to make 4. I think they appeal to me because they are not linear and seem multi dimensional on me anyway. Also surprisingly am digging KK Pure Honey - at first it threw me, then it slayed! I add it as another layer along with my rose scents and its a honey rose dream. Cost about $14 for a big bottle.

[@VeronicaSays]

Hundred Silent Ways is universally wonderful! 💖 Good for you for exploring Serge Lutens. Lots of interesting and artistic picks from that house. And hooray for Pure Honey! Woohoo!!

Veronica, that hole in my backyard to save my perfumes in case of emergency is getting wider and deeper couple of inches every day😆... My dear do not worry about the length of your videos, I am watching till the end, you deserve that. Here is my run down on perfumes you mentioned and some you did not mention but they were screaming (what about me....pick me): La Belle, Libre Intense, Delina Exclusive, Bottega Veneta, Black Opium (few flankers), D&G The Only One EDP, Valentino Donna. New aquisitions that I would love to hear your reviews: Electimuss Trajan, Rosendo Mateu 5. Just added Guerlain Angelique Noir to my wish list.

[@VeronicaSays]

Hiiiii Fatema! I'm so sorry about the condition of your backyard! 😆😆😆 Hope your insurance can cover it. Thank you for watching videos to the end - you are so sweet! I've reviewed Trajan and Rosendo Mateu No 5 in previous videos. I think both are really good, solid additions to a fragrance collection! I enjoy them! 🥰🥰🥰

[@latonyagipson-bowman9186]

Yes Call me by your name...on my list...it's very good and Mrs.Jessica, sent me a sample of both

For sure! And Jessie is such a sweetheart.

Great video 👍 I think Si by Armani is a beautiful but safe fruity perfume. I ignored it for years and then someone (may be you Veronica!) gave it a thumbs up and I was so pleasantly surprised and I wear it a lot. I also think everyone should have the original Eau Savage by Dior (Edmond Roudnitska) as it is a masterpiece and anyone can wear it.

[@VeronicaSays]

Hey Rebecca! 🥰 Thank you! 💖 I have definitely talked about Si a few times. It's so good. Thanks for the Dior recommendation too! 💯💯💯

[@pkswafford]

I agree that Si is a classic that a new fragrance collector should consider.

[@rebeccadippyegg]

@@pkswafford Yes, so glad I took the time to test it finally! :)

[@heatherw5632]

Florabotanica is the entry point for people who like the clean/refreshing fragrances but want to try something more “pretty” or unique. Green rose scents sent me down the vetiver and green fig paths, but those can be off putting for a newbie.

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Rebecca! 🥰 Yes, this is a unique and interesting choice! Thanks for sharing! 💖

[@ymdroid73]

So many on this list that became favorites when I started my collection. I missed your leather video, but have you tried Creme de Cuir from BDK? It's actually a suede note, but it's soft and paired with a pineapple note that makes for one of my favorite "never would have thought to put those together" combos. I made La Belle my scent of the evening after I saw you fondling yours (kidding). I seem to be the only one to smell it, but I get a strong cinnamon note from it that was actually a little much for me at first. Now that it's colder though it's one of the things I love the most. It doesn't have the boozy aspect, but in my own categorization it's in the same fragrance vibe collection as Angel's Share for that spiciness that balances out the fruity pear.

[@VeronicaSays]

Hey there! I have not tried Creme de Cuir but it's on my short list to try. La Belle - the poor bottle is going to press charges on me. 🥴🥴🥴 Cinnamon, eh? I can imagine that. Not all of the notes are public on that one (or most fragrances, for that matter). I can totally see how it's a similar vibe to Angels' Share. I hear you on that!

[@ymdroid73]

@@VeronicaSays 😂 no face means no complaints. Source: a few accidentally decapitated Barbies. Definitely don't think any of the LaBelles have all the notes. The La Fleur Terrible flanker is another one where I pick up a strong ginger note that's also not listed. But both are slightly spiced favorites, even if everyone thinks I'm having scent hallucinations when I bring them up

[@VeronicaSays]

I found what you had to relay about the milk fragrances fascinating. I’ve only tried Comodity Personal, and love the idea but there’s a strange something in there that is masculine & reminds me of BO 😒 Wanna try Fresh Cream next time I’m at Ulta. Luv the white milky bottle you have. I’m gonna try the Acqua di Gioria.

[@VeronicaSays]

Oh no! Not BO! 😲😂 Yikes. Hope you enjoy sampling Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere!

@@VeronicaSays you know, I don’t notice it anymore. It was only when it was new. Maybe it just had to get used to it. It was so different than what I normally choose for Perfume. I like it now.

Oh two other questions - what kind of fragrances do you prefer? Example - florals, woody, spicy, sweet. And do you prefer subtle or strong fragrances?

[@dianaford003]

@@VeronicaSays - I think something white floral, maybe a little sweet, enough projection and sillage that my man will want to whisk me right away, but not too much to knock out the officiant, 😆. Love Rouge Malachite, but it’s too much for that day. Idk if white florals are more spring/summer? Love Angel’s Share (totally different, but more fall) but again, too heavy. Hope that helps! Can’t wait for your ideas!! (Mon Guerlain EDP would be PERFECT (and picture worthy), but I already wear that.

I’ve been into perfumes since I was a kid in the 70s and 80s. That said, an “easy reach” for me (a 51 year old with diverse tastes) isn’t necessarily everyone else’s easy reach. Diesel Loverdose is an easy one SJP Lovely is good too. AG Cloud is a no-brainer too.

[@VeronicaSays]

Hey Tiffany! 💖 I agree on the easy reach being so different person to person. You've got some lovely easy reaches though! 🥰

[@ggbice]

Hello Veronica! I'm checking out these three that you reviewed; TOCADE LALIQUE LP BURBERRY BODY I think I would recommend considering likes and loves from family and friends that are enjoyable. Then consider the notes via FG, to find similar fragrances. I liked your personal suggestions. Most of all, a good everyday scent. Early on my older cousin introduced me to TABU. I always loved the spicy dry down. * JESSICA McClintock was an easy daily reach. I continue to use both, but JM is a safe bb.

[@VeronicaSays]

Hey Francine! I'd be curious to get your impressions of Lalique Le Parfum and Tocade, in particular. Jessica McClintock was all the rage in the early 2000s! I remember lusting after the fragrance after sniffing it at the mall. 🥰💯

[@ggbice]

@@VeronicaSays I just did my search on FG. I'm migraining........but muddled through on notes, etc. on Tocade and Lalique LP, and Burberry Body. I can't buy any of them. One had geranium, one had rhubarb, and another had pink pepper. I can't tolerate any of those notes. So disappointed Veronica! ****** I recently bought JM roller pens @ ThePerfumeSpot. I have ordered four times since the Summer from this NJ company. Navigating the website AND their soup to nuts inventory is odd, but shipping, packaging, and customer SVC. is all good. They have lower prices on many things. They have both niche and designer. I bought "me to me" Xmas gift, MOLINARD VAN. FRUITEE. I had sampled it. It's a beast for dried fruit and vanilla! A GOOD recommendation for 3 reasons; A WANNA BE VANILLA FAN (ME!) its gourmand and low cost. $39 for 3oz I think. It's like being in a candy store awhile, you leave, and your clothing and hair retain the aroma. It's not perfumie per se. I like it a lot at home. It's sweet and a mood lifter. Francine

[@VeronicaSays]

@ggbice oh darn! Sorry to hear that none of them will work out for you. AND, more importantly, hope your migraine disappears! I have ordered from The Perfume Spot. I do enjoy perusing their inventory! 👌👌👌
