Girl, I wish I lived near you. I would totally offer to babysit that little cutie whenever you wanted to film! So precious. 🥰 I'm glad he gets to co-star in these videos. 💖💖💖
Raspberry always gets me in perfumes. Soooo delicious! 🎉 Looking forward to seeing what you do with your upcoming videos. 💖 PS - Tell your imposter syndrome to take a long walk on a short pier. 😜
People are responsible for their own pockets and how they spend. I see collecting perfumes equivalent to anything else people collect and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on. So don’t feel responsible and ignore the haters! Great video per usual! I love raspberry fragrances 🥰
I'm really working on feeling okay sharing my Collection without feeling guilty. It's been brought to my attention my guilt is coming across in my videos. I'll probably talk about this in an upcoming video. I do need to understand I'm not responsible for people being influenced. Thank you for the reminder!
Raspberry is a favourite of mine too. I love how it smells, I love how it tastes. I love fresh and realistic and even synthetic. You mentioned a bunch I love as well. Lancome does a great job with raspberry. One of my favourite raspberry fragrances is Lancome Tresor Midnight Rose. The raspeberry smells pretty realistic and is lush, sweet and delicious and pairs perfectly with the rose. I love the rapberry/rose combo in general. I think they compliment one another so well. Mon Paris Intensement has an even more dominant raspberry note than the original and I like it even better. I also really like the raspberry candy scent of Armani In Love With You and Because It's You.
Yayy love raspberry and other berries! I lack berry perfumes in my collection. 😮💨 I think this will give me new ideas💞 By the way this doesn't concern me/ isn't my business but lately when I have watched your videos I have got this feeling like you are ashamed of how much you love fragrance and feel like it is a bad thing. I want to say that you have the right to have a thing that is just for your pleasure, just to make you happy. It is not selfish, there is really no shame in it. I think we attach shame to perfume collecting mainly because women's pleasurable hobbies are seen as selfish. It is not, it is selfcare. I hope you can find peace with your interest💞💞
You are SO right about the shame!! I hadn't even realized how much that was coming across. I have been feeling guilty for having so much and spending so much on it. It's definitely a woman/mom thing. Feeling selfish and guilty for having something for myself when I could have spend the money on other things. 😢 I am trying to declutter to recoup some money and also not buy so much anymore. To ease some of that guilt. Thank you for telling me its okay. You're right. If it doesn't bother my husband (who pays for them) then I shouldn't feel ashamed. The guilt is definitely getting in the way of enjoying them. You're so sweet for bringing that to my attention in the way you did. I'm so grateful to have people like you watching me and commenting. 😊
@@CarmenScentrix Oh babeee. I feel you on a deep level. But girl just because you are even bothering to wonder if you are selfish or a "bad mom" or something totally shows you are NOT. Definitely the opposite. Listen, I am sure your man and your baby also benefit from a happy and content Carmen💞💞 I bet they love seeing you have something of your own that makes you truely in the zone. It is so healthy but choosing moderation is also really admirable. Slay! Don't worry I love your videos and your raw reallness and honestly I have also started to kind of lessen my blindbuys just because you talked some sense into me in your videos. 😁 Honestly now my frags make me even happier because each one is carefully selected and give maximum joy and quality over quantity. Take care! 🙌☺️
Good morning 😊 having my coffee listening to one of my faves, I love tresor I spray it all the time just to enjoy it lol ( we crazy like that 😉) I need to bring out Deux it smells like wine and chocolate on me like I spilled the wine 🍷 while eating chocolate 🤣 Kenzo is hands down my favorite! Your videos are fine! You crack me up we are definitely friends ❤️
Omg, amethyst by Lalique is one of my favorites, I’ve gone through 2 bottles already. I also love amethyst Exquise, as well. So underrated, in my opinion. 👏💜👌
I love you and am happy to have honesty about fragrance. It definitely think it is something more personal. I am so happy watch you everytime you upload. I don’t always get to comment because sometimes I watch on my tv but girl I’m here because I love that you are genuine and true to who you are. ❤❤❤❤❤
Oddly enough, as with fresh cream, we can’t get Ralph Lauren Beyond Romance in the UK either! I’m always so surprised at the divide between what is sold in different countries - it was like that in the 90s but you’d think companies would be a bit more global nowadays! It’s sooooo expensive (for instance) to get Michel Germain shipped to the UK, but that brand often end up in TJ Maxx in the US!
That brand is very affordable here. It must be frustrating for you guys to see people talk about them and then not be able to get them at a reasonable price.
Some other good raspberry perfumes you should try if you haven't already are jimmy choo exotic,selena gomez,purple ruby pascal morabito and v canto stricnina. 😊
I just sprayed Amethyst all over myself before starting/seeing this video. It’s so nice. Modest Deux is a favorite for me. I used a good amount of it this past winter. I may even get a backup of it. Funny thing I don’t like the lancome one whenever I’ve smelled it in store. I have a travel size of Angel Nova on its way. I’ve had a tiny sample and really loved it but still couldn’t commit to a bottle (tiny samples are not the easiest to really get a feel for a perfume) so ordered a travel. I watch you on purpose woman! Haha! That whole last bit is how I am too, anytime someone seems to “like” me it throws me off. I assume they are pretending just to be nice or humor me. Which they probably are…haha!
No stop it. People like you for you. We just get in our head. RU-vid really made my imposter come out because people have been have been so sweet and supportive. Have you tried the Lancome one in the winter time? It's the only time it works for me.
@@CarmenScentrix I’m so glad people have been supportive of you! I’ve seen some of the people I watch (Veronica, Clair, and others) comment on your videos early on and it made me so happy to see others support you! I have only tried it in store so maybe I need to go in winter and spray myself a few times and go outside.
I literally was going type “Have you tried Perry Ellis Orchid 18!” And then you mentioned it ! I thought you’d really like it. Great choices and I like how they’re all affordable 😊 I love La Nuit Tresor Musc Diamant with raspberry and lots of musk but such a gentle clean musk I feel like even you would love it! 😉 xo
My signature fragrance for 23 years now has been Hot Couture. Ive always heard people mention the smokey aspect, but ive never got that. Lol. Also, it just happens to be the one i get the most compliments and inquiries about. I love it.
I love it! I can smell ashes on from the spot where I sprayed. The whiffs in the air are just beautiful and no one is sniffing the spot where it was sprayed. I can see it making a wonderful signature scent. It's such a timeless scent 😍 ✨️
@@CarmenScentrix Absolutely. It's a beautiful fragrance. Would you say La nuit tresor is one that is somewhat close in fragrance? I'm interested in that one, but have never actually smelled it.
Flower L'Elixir will forever be one of my favorites. RIP 😭 To this day I've had a hard time finding something that meshes so well with my skin chemistry 🥲
We have so common taste... I love amethyst and la nuit tresor too. I have modest deux and la rive too and yes i need them all!😅 You should try gucci guilty absolute (launched 2018 the purple bottle)!!! Love from Greece!❤
I have been meaning to watch this video as I’m obsessed with Raspberries in perfume ,I’m looking for a body mist one so you might have a good one for me ?
I don't know if I have a favorite because there is so many different ones. Like gourmands, fruity or clean. The thing with BBW is that they rarely have the scents available. I'll just make a video of all of my favorites for you!

Why do fragrance reviewers feel the need to say "I'm not saying this is ok, this is borderline hoarding", "No one needs this many perfumes" and other such silly things? It is as if you are saying "It's ok for ME to have this many perfumes, but none of the rest of you should." How is fragrance collecting any different from stamp collecting, coin collecting, classic car collecting, antique collecting or any other type of collections??
I feel guilty for normalizing it I guess. 😕 As fun as collecting can be for some for others it might be a guilt inducing habit. I feel like I went down a rabbit hole and over did it. I feel like I have too many. I'm working on letting some go and not buying as much. We all have a certain amount we feel comfortable with. For some it might be hundreds and for others it might be no more than 10 perfumes. There is no wrong way to collect or spend your money in my opinion. It's a personal choice and I don't want to encourage others to collect the way I do. Everyone's budget and resources are different and I don't want to make anyone feel like they need more to be a collector like me. I personally don't even feel comfortable with being a reviewer or influencer. I'm just here sharing my experience with fragrances!
