Do your makeup while you’re talking about fragrance. Like Bailey Sarian does with true crime. You could even do it on Monday like she does. Maybe choose 3 or 4 (depending how long it takes you to do your makeup lol) fragrances and review them while doing your makeup. Even if you only did it once a month, it would be cool. I suggest you watch one of Bailey’s videos where she’s putting on her makeup. You could do a long content review of the fragrance. Another thing I think you could do while you’re talking about the fragrance describe the person you see wearing the perfume. I love when you do that. You did it in this video. I love it. You could call it Femme fatale makeup Monday. 😊this is a great idea if I ever heard of one.
I get so excited every time you post a new video! I just love your humor and personality combined with the spot on fragrance descriptions. You sold me on Barakkat Gentle Gold and I went from being unsure if I like it to becoming full on obsessed with it. There's something so addicting about this smell! Its important not to judge it by the first sprays! I initially got a sharp acetone/rose in the opening but that's thankfully gone away. I now get the juniper berries in the opening which you described perfectly (sweet but tart) and then in the mid and dry down, I get a scent that reminds me of a sweeter (in a fruity sense), more feminine Diptyque Eau Duelle. Love, love love it so much I bought 4 back up bottles before everyone else catches on and the prices go up. Thank you again for doing these reviews and showing us these affordable gems!
Ah-mazing vídeo Maria. You look like a Snow Queen, the most good smelling one I must say! Coco Mademoiselle will be in my life forever, love it too ❤❤❤❤❤
Love the makeup rec! Now I just need to know your lip color? Love the look! Your list of favorites is SO helpful! I’ve had a few just chilling in my digital cart for weeks lol! Time to pull the trigger on a few.. I’ll just pretend I’m not supposed to be on a no buy. Just don’t tell my bank account 😂
@@untamedperfumes right!! I think I’m going to get a silk or velvet style opera coat!! But my hair is short!! I’ve had short hair since 17! I think for my bday in sept? I’m going to get some crazy mermaid hair extensions so I can have that sexy mama moment in my silk cloak….haaa
Hi Maria, thanks for this awesome video, love your selections. I haven’t tried or even heard of them all, but that’s what I like about your selections. Diverse and refreshing options. Hey, I wanted to ask you if you’ve ever tried Celeste by Giardini de Toscana? Since you adore Mallow, I think you might also love Celeste. To me, they have similar vibes and are more violet forward. Soft and ethereal violet. If you haven’t, pls get your nose on it.

I think it's impossible to say that we will love some fragrances for life, as our preferences change throughout our lives. Personally, I probably wouldn't wear now the perfumes I used to wear 20+ years ago. Also, fragrances get discontinued or reformulated and in the next 20 years probably most of the perfumes available now won't exist anymore... 😊
Oh well for the older gals ( I’m 53) I have perfumes I’ve worn since 17 so by the time you’re our age? You do have an idea of what notes and accords you like and styles of scents but you will probably ADD things but there will always be your signatures! I have 3 signatures
You gave me a huge scent flashback of sitting in the aisle of a horse barn, cleaning an Antares saddle with Passier leather conditioner getting ready for my daughter's horse shows.
Oh, that takes me back to doing horse shows when I was a little girl! I know exactly what you smell. My mother didn't get my horse and tack ready for me, though...that's half the fun. I knew riders, though, whose mother should've been competing themselves because they love it so much.
You are really selling these Maria! LOL. Your whole brownstone cinderella moment in NY was hilarious. There really are fragrances that just set a scene when you smell them
My scent for life is Coco Mademoiselle Intense Version I’m on my 5th bottle and I’ll never be without it. I love the sound of Mallow so will have to check it out.
I have the Dua version of Mallow, it's called Raspberry Candied Violets, smells soooo good. I also just got Gentle Gold and that smells wonderful too. I have no idea how to describe it, on me it's like light cherry-powdery and a little inky. It's definitely jumped to the top for me.
I Love your top 10 for life 😊🫶🏽 well, maybe my top 10 for life right now is: Royal Amber, Coco Noir, Burberry her elixir, Summer Vibes Light Blue, lacoste sparkling, Black Opium le parfum, Ange ou Demon, Cloud, Bianco Latte, Vanilla Exclusive ❤
Yep Burberry Goddess won me over too as my sexy All year vanilla! I had to spray it and let it sit and within a month, by June it was amazing!! But vanilla fields is close 😂 and cheap!
Love your choices. I got rid of coco Mademoiselle a while ago only because it started to bother my nose. Maybe I will get it back again because now I miss it! the Habibi sounds interesting and that will have to be my next purchase! ❤ I grew up with horses (show horses) I LOVE the smell of saddles and horses!!!
💜💖Maria💖💜Could you please give an update as to how close DUA’s version is to Mallow? I’ve had several DUA’s that ended up being spot on after macerating for a couple months. I absolutely love raspberry but I’m not to fond of most white florals or a “bubblegum” note. ✨Thank you ✨🤗
DUAS version of mallow is beautiful. It has more raspberry but it’s very good. I will tell you Al to bring it for next time she comes and we will talk about it being its macerated
Oh fun! I made one in my head but added 2, so 12 and that’s only due to Gourmands! And the constant changing of them so the 10 are made of like ALL loves and two signature scents! And the extra two I can fool around with and try new gourmands during the year ….i find my ten signatures and my loves at 53? At this age will stay constant and I leave room for two new ones per year! This is working but have to be strict lol
I’ve only ever smelled one of your top 10 but it’s also one of mine - Burberry Goddess. It’s SO good and luckily I don’t get any of the lavender on my skin. I don’t get the lavender in Libre le parfum either. Lucky me because I don’t like lavender😂
Hello, Maria, new fan here all the way from across the pond, in Romania, the vampire land (just kidding we only have those in the parliament, sucking the old money out of the old pocket, not our blood). I managed to order a few samples of Middle Eastern perfumes and I find that Barakkat Gentle Gold smells exactly, but exactly like Zara's Rose Gourmand. Anyways, I love your channel, keep up the good work!
Dear Maria, I bought Barakkat Gentle Gold last winter for such an amazing price and I love it,for me it smells like a gentle and creamy Intense caffe. My ten for life,since I am a designer perfume lover would include maybe two "niches" Montale Arabians Tonka(amazing) and Xerjoff Bouqet Ideale (so special). The rest all designer and cliche😂: Donna Born in Roma regular and Green Stravaganza, Ellie Saab Girl of now(all of them😁), Olympea🤎, Gucci Premiere, Bvlgari Splendida Tuberouse Mystique💙... Love your energy and your content💜
@@martina590 nice list!! I got the Barrakat Gold Due to Marie as well! I love it but I don’t get creamy!?? I do get a crisp amber vanilla? Like a cousin of Burberry goddess for example? But I’ll definitely be re buying the Barrakat!
@@heavenj7 maybe it is only my perception of the creaminess. I tried Goddess once and the only thing I remember that I was underwelmed...😐 But with Barrakkat, I feel happy and satisfied when wearing it,kind of cozy🫠
@@martina590 I agree Burberry Goddess isn’t really a creamy vanilla to me it’s a bit zingy with the ginger but I love the Barrakat too! But I was really anti BG! I was mad I spent the money! lol but once I let it macerate? I was just glad I liked it at all!
