In northern New Hampshire, we are feeling the seasons change as well. Today it is around 40f, rainy and dreary. I used to hate it. But a decade or so ago, I read a book about the Scandinavian perspective (practice?) of “Hygge” and it completely changed my perspective. These darker months I light candles, use string lights, enjoys hot mugs of tea/coffee/coco, and snuggle up with thick and warm blankets... instead of depressing, I now feel it as cozy. And my favorite (cheaply) scents for it are Avon’s Rare Pearls, Yves Rocher’s Venice (discontinued so not so cheap anymore), and Clinique’s Simply

YES I agree, that $400.00 pricetag causes a big fat DJ record SCREEEEEETCH!! Like WTF am I doing with my life and do I need professional help??  Wow I've never heard of Revlon Scent Blends! I love soapy fragrances too. Do you like Je Reviens by Worth? I love it and  It's sort of soapy.  I was there when Boucheron first came out and it was considered such an expensive line back then! WOW TOPAZE!!! You're so sweet to mention me!! It's funny too because as I was watching I was eying that bottle wondering what it was and it's my wonderful TOPAZE!  I am now on a search to see what kinds of vintage bottles it came in and you've given me my first answer to that question! I am thrilled that you like it too! Wonderful and cozy video as always and thanks again for the mention!!

Men seem to all love clean, soapy scents or powdery. I received huge compliments when I wore Exclamation by Coty...and Kenzo Flower (worn seperately). Both very powdery.

I had Exclamation  from it's  launch for 4 years straight (in my teens) catnip  for guys !

Topaze is something like Prince Matchabelli's Wind Song, except that its a bit gentler to the nose because it has peach in it.

I now have the Revlon  one in my ebay cart. Sounds lovely!

I loved Splendor.  I used to wear Exclamation in college.  I hate the days getting shorter.  I am trying to rebuild my fragrance collection after getting ripped off this spring -- 8 of my perfumes were grabbed: Dune, Philosophy Amazing Grace, Perry Ellis 360, Stella McCartney Pop Bluebell, Kate Spade Walk on Air, Avon Sweet Honesty, a body spray Vince Camuto Ciao, and one more I can't think of.  I will NEVER have the money to replace Dune, and living on Social Security Disability, I have only been able to replace the Avon.  I have had a revolving door of caretakers, hate to think one stole from me (I am a stroke patient) but it's that or someone got into my apartment.  I don't have much but I do love my perfumes.

So true about the sampling. Why try a sample of something I will never be able to afford. I’m retired so budget friendly is the name of my game. Also why pay $30 for a decant when I can buy an oldie cheapie that I’m pretty sure I will like. Most new perfumes are food inspired which is so not me. I like perfumey  perfumes lol.  Im  still going through all of your older videos while waiting on a new video. I follow Ruth M too.  She has good recommendations too.

I m soo in mood for musky, powdery and soapy fragrance lately... 🤩
And body fantasies white musk is in my list now.

Also I had came across this hidden gem perfume by Swiss  Arabian called Musk 74 poudre. I'm surprised why no one had yet cane across it... The notes I saw on fragnantica are all 100/100 amazing... And I'm sucker for Aldehydes!♥️

Hi, sorry not sure how I added the above comment to your video. This was for another reviver who was doing fall gourmands. I appreciate your channel and you’ve encouraged me to look into other fragrances from my fav perfumers that are not as pricey. Happy Autumn 🍁🍂

Fresh White Musk is my favorite white musk. It layers surprisingly well under other (pricier) perfumes, too.

I would love to try the Revlon Sandalwood Amber. Thanks for the info

Thank you for the video😉

I purchased thr poppy one at TJ Maxx! It's soo pretty. However, on me it lasted not even 10 minutes, I am so serious. I drove right back to return it.

Avons Soft musk is really good also,they brought it back too.😅😊❤❤❤ Nene Brown

I’ve got Mackie By Bob Mackie; Perry Ellis 360 Pink . A Big Bottle very Inexpensive . A great Cheapie for Fall Einter is Guess Seductive Noir . $20-$22 for a 2.5 oz bottle nice musky scent and it lasts a long time for a Cheaper priced scent . Bought  this new recently and am very glad I did . Guess Gold is also very good for Fall  Winter . Same price point and a Nice large bottle with a decent 4-5hour wear . Love your videos . I know you don’t have to spend a lot to smell beautiful . I have some expensive Fragrances but a lot of Medium priced to inexpensive ones . I love a lot of what you have like Irridescence by Mackie . Wish I could find more of his fragrances and Elizabeth Taylor Scents . I only have 3 White Diamonds; Diamonds & Emeralds& Sparkling White Diamonds . Can’t find any others .

Fabulous picks! I adore gourmands. Always excited to wear them again. Minuit Et Demi, Dates Delight and Rouge Saray and some of my favorites. My newest, Devotion is quickly becoming a love. Have a good week! 🍫🍪
