Well I'm originally from Syria and with the tragic news of the earthquake happened there, I can't justify spending money on pefrumes while people there are in need for each and every penny! But, as a perfumes lover, I'm saving this video to my list so when I start buying again, I will go for the affordable ones only. These gems are amazing! Thank you 😍

To me, Lalique Le Parfum is a true masterful olfactive creation: elegant, elevated, nuanced, unique yet wearable. I don't think I've ever walked by that fragrance and not stopped to smell the atomizer. Rare Tiffany goes everywhere with me in the hotter months. A mate smelt it on me and asked if it was from Creed. Girl, Creed wishes. I'm trying to not add anymore vanilla frags for awhile; but I'm going to pick up Tocade...there really is no such thing as too much vanilla anyway. Great vid as usual, Veronica!!!

Hi neighbor, firstly I watched the video of you and your husband and laughed so hard. It reminds me of the rapport my husband and I share. We frequently say I’m embarrassed and the other always say I’m embarrassed for you!😂😂 I had to share that. So, I know I’m a niche lover and consider myself a fragrance snob. I’m just concerned it won’t meet my high expectations. In my mind you pay for what you get. I also know that this can be a false narrative. I’m stepping out of my comfort zone and on your recommendation I’ve ordered Rare Tiffany. Fingers crossed I like it. Love the content of your videos and your personality really adds to the enjoyment in watching them. I always learn something. Take care!

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Jeanette! 💖🥰 Hope you're enjoying the Superbowl from a warm space with your hubby. I love the humorous rapport! With all there is to be serious about in this world, it's great to have some chuckles with the significant other. 💖🥰 I joke around about niche snobbery, but to each their own. I've spent a lot on some niche that gave me the opposite of "you get what you pay for," so it really just depends on the fragrance. Would love to hear your thoughts on Rare Tiffany - good, bad, or indifferent. Let me know! Hugs! 🤗🤗🤗

[@petraroos3413]

Lalique Le perfume smelled lovely from the atomizer but sadly on my skin smelt like plastic bug spray. So I suspect, looking at other reviews, this fragrance is made or broken by ones skin chemistry. Personally my favorite "cheapie" vanilla/tonka based fragrance is Joop le Bain. It is a beautiful Tonka bomb, with hints of cherry. I'm glad you mentioned it!! But my most complimented cheapie has been Shaghaf Oud by Swiss Arabian. You need to like sweet fragrances and the oud is slightly synthetic but it really is beautiful, fun yet grown and romantic. Great for Valentine's day. 🙂

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Petra! Awww sorry Lalique Le Parfum did not work out for you. Joop! Le Bain is so underrated and lovely. Shaghaf Oud is fantastic! I didn't include here as it's a dupe and I was trying to do a video with no dupes, but Shaghaf Oud is a GREAT fragrance! 💖🥰👍

[@stacyr3743]

I will always associate Quatre with you and your channel Veronica! I bought it shortly after you did I believe, on your recommendation. I believe it may have been in a Mother’s Day video. Anyway, even though it was very early in my collecting, it’s the one that I think I’d keep if I could only keep one. That baffles me a bit because though people like it, it’s never been one that people get super excited over. But you’ve always appreciated it, and it’s so special to me! As for a recommendation, especially one that seems to kind of go with your list, I’d say Lolitaland is really good too! Loved the video as usual Veronica! Hope you’re having a great weekend! ❤😊

Because I want to try so many new smells, affordable is right up my alley for experiments. Years ago, I loved Tommy Girl by Tommy Hilfiger and Lucky You by Lucky. They're still in the affordable range and are easy reaches/everyday jeans scents. My newest additions, carefully curated and blind buys are Beachscapes by Jennifer Aniston, Anais Anais by Cacharel, Glow by Jennifer Lopez, Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker and Shock for Her by Calvin Klein. I adore all of them. Not one second of regret and make me crave more.

I absolutely love every vanila fragrance you mentioned , the only problem with le bain is that on my skin it just doesn't last and it does not project at all , but it's so gorgeous , i just wish they came out with an intense version of it! A hidden gem for me is the male Obsession from Ck , it's a vanilla and cinnamon bomb , it really isn't that masculine with the right skin chemistry and it's in the 30$ range for a 125 ml bottle

[@ymdroid73]

Great list, and love that you don't shy away from making lists that aren't entirely niche. Lalique is definitely a love, and even though I joke that the inspiration was pot roast because of the bay leaf it smells nothing like a pot roast. 🙂Pure Nectar is a good one too. Nisha from Spicy Looks raved about it and also said her husband loves it on her, so it might also be a contender for secret man killers. I love Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere as a layering scent. If I pair it with scented body creams or perfume oil, I find the performance is a bit better. Definitely not a beast, but closer to 5 or 6 hours than the 3-4 I think most people get. But honestly the 3-4 hours is fine for me if I'm wearing it as a night time scent where I just want to smell something nice as I fall asleep. I'm a sucker for a good freshie, so I may have to get my nose on Rare Tiffany for summer. In that vein, one of my favorite affordable scents is Martinique by Tommy Bahama. I personally love the opalescent bottle and it smells *extremely* similar to Scent of Peace (purple bottle) from Bond no 9. I have both, and I'm talking smelling them side by side there's barely a difference. Scent of Peace performs better - as it should, but since Martinique is $20-25 I have no problem reapplying.

[@VeronicaSays]

Tommy Bahama has some fun scents and the bottle shapes are great too. I get about 4ish hours from Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere on its own, and I'm totally okay with that. Not everything has to be a 12 hour banger, you know? I learned of Pure Nectar from Neesha too, and when she mentioned the part about her husband, I added to cart. 😂😂😂 She was telling the WHOLE TRUTH! 💯👌

Both are very contemporary boozy, wood (very light oud), with fruity top notes. Raspberry in the EA, plums in the GBH. Love them both.

@@VeronicaSays Sandalwood & Suede is very similar to Santal 33 and Spice & Black Vanilla is very similar to V&R Spicebomb. Yum!

[@VeronicaSays]

Years ago I was enchanted by a fragrance worn by a lady who worked at the firm I worked for. She drove a Jaguar and her fashion aesthetic was Silent Luxury. She shared the name of the fragrance, and I ran to the perfumery across the street where I was delightedly shocked to find it for $16 for a full size $8 for a purse spray. Months larer I returned to stock up for tracel gifting but it had been pulled from stores and eventually exclusively sold at Barney's. I think its only available in France since the Barneys closed.

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi, what is the name of the fragrance? I love the mental imagery of this woman and her fragrant presence, all for under $20! 🥰

[@nalahbaer8290]

I'd love to know as well. ☺

I just found you, and you have quickly become one of my FAVS!

Thank you so much! 🙏💖

I love Le Bain and Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere. There is a very hyped niche fragrance called What We Do In Paris is Secret which smells almost EXACTLY like Le Bain, but at about 5 times the price. The Cremo line is very good. I have Vintage Suede and Spice & Black Vanilla. Both hit way above their price level. Another one of my budget faves is Adam Levine for her, which I found as a 2 bottle set (100ml & 30ml) for $10! It’s discontinued, but you can still find it at discounters. Added: Sofia from Sofia Vergara is also a great “cheapie” fruit-chouli.

[@VeronicaSays]

Oh! I'll have to try my What We Do in Paris Sample one more time to see if I get the comparison - thanks for that tip! I need to try the other Cremo fragrances. They sound great! And I have Adam Levine and Sofia, although my time with Sofia is coming to an end. She's still gorgeous though. Thanks for sharing your recommendations! 🥰💖

[@FlyYouFools88]

Love the message about wearing whatever you think smells good as opposed to because of the price tag 👌🏽

Thank you! 🙏🥰💖

This microphone is better than the previous one 👌

Yes, I prefer this microphone too. Not sure why I was having so much trouble with the last set up, but oh well. And thank you much! I'm excited to see the channel growing also. Very grateful. 🙏💖🥰

[@DiandrasBeautyRoom]

I just smelled Rochas Tocade. It’s amazing! I had never heard of it before. Thanks for sharing.

[@Shanruss]

I just ordered rare tiffany before seeing this. Score.

[@VeronicaSays]

Hope you enjoy it! 💖💖💖

[@perfeptions]

Same thoughts here Veronica! 😊 it’s just much more likely to end up on something nice when you spend more, but there are many truly beautiful fragrances for little money out there. Thanks for this video ❤

[@VeronicaSays]

Thank you so much! 💖 I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 🥰

[@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134]

Have you changed your foundation or skin care? Your makeup looks amazing in this vid!

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi LeighAnn! Well, I wear lots of different foundations across my videos, but I actually have lighter makeup on overall and the lighting is a bit different than usual, thus giving the illusion. Thank you! 🥰💖

Okay, Miss Latonya! I see you, in your warm pj's, smelling all delicious 😂😂😂

[@mfq5837]

I love Fresh clean scents . L’eau D’Issay EDP is my favorite so naturally I tries Pure Nectar and LOVE it. Jaipur from Boucheron is a clean scent and inexpensive. Doesn’t last long but for the price it’s worth it. Great video. Thanks 🙏

[@VeronicaSays]

Oh wonderful! So glad Pure Nectar is a winner for you! 💖🥰 I've never tried Jaipur but heard lovely comments on it.

[@janelevey3435]

Great video!

[@VeronicaSays]

Thank you, Jane! 🥰🥰🥰

[@singerstylistjennifer1654]

And... your hair looks great! Ask your stylist about Surface products! All organic, cruelty free, paraban and sulfate free vegan Canadian hair care line! I use it in my salon and my clients are loving it!

[@VeronicaSays]

Oh thank you! I'm way overdue for a color and cut and I filmed this video weeks ago, so it's even more overgrown now. I'll check out Surface!

[@DiDiLark606]

I love L'eau d'Issey Pure Nectar - Issey Miyake!! & While I enjoy the scent of Roberto Cavalli - Roberto Cavalli, it is a bit overbearing and sometimes it really gives me a headache. I also love Joop! Thanks for your videos.

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Christilyn! 💖 Pure Nectar is just soooo good! I understand about the Cavalli feeling overbearing. Thanks for watching! 🥰🥰🥰

[@desireeohrbeck2282]

Ooooh! This is a treat to listen to this Sunday as I do my housework. Clapping aloud only 2 mins in! Also just have to relay that your skin/look is gorgeous! So, so pretty.

[@VeronicaSays]

Awww thank you, Amy! You are so sweet. 💖🥰 Glad you're enjoying the video as you move about this morning. I often binge on KZbin as I'm doing chores also. 👌👌👌

[@savorsalvagescent2300]

Such great choices! Love so many of these. Le Bain + Tocade are favorites. I adore Cremo’s Spice + Black Vanilla so can’t wait to try their Palo Santo on your recommendation. Excited to try Rare Tiffany, too. Boucheron is such an underrated house! Thanks for this! 💛

[@VeronicaSays]

@Savor Salvage Scent thank you, Amy! I'm interested in trying more from Cremo. Let me know if you try Palo Santo, and if so, what your thoughts are. 🥰💖

[@carolbuffington4138]

I own Rare Tiffany, Quatre and Tocade. Love all 3. Had to order Roberto Cavalli, Lalique, Warm Cashmere and Joop on your recommendation. Trust your opinion. Bad influence, LOL !!! I don't need any more perfumes, but my daughter and 2 grown granddaughters enjoy raiding my stash. Hugs !!!

[@VeronicaSays]

Hi Carol! 💖 I hope you love them all! It's great to have daughters and grands to pass them along to if they don't work for you! I don't have too many ladies around me who would love perfumes, and maybe that's a good thing so I don't buy even more. 😁
