Glad your kids are better. Being a parent is a happy, hard, fun and scary job. I haven't tried any of these fragrances. It was nice to hear about them. Thanks!

Thank you, Christie 🤗❤️! So true. Being a parent is both great and terifying. Beautiful and hard. Glad you liked the video 😘

It's good to see you back Lily! I was wondering if you were taking a break, but now I know it was not a planned absence. I am sorry to hear your kids were so sick that they needed to be hospitalized. That's scary! I'm have been grateful for health care in any situation, bus especially emergency ones. It's good to know your kids are getting better and you have come through it okay! Thanks for sharing your blind buy purchases. It must have been interesting researching them before actually getting them and trying them out. It sounds like the M. Micallef was the best of the bunch for you. Thanks for your video! Take care! ~ Jenn 💕

Hi Jenn! Thank you! It is good to be back. To be able to enjoy fragrances, share ideas with you and other fragrance enthusiasts 🥰. And I am greatful for these days that are so normal, if it makes sense 😅. Yes, Micallef was maybe the best from the bunch. But Madame Gres was also a big surprise. Especially for the price. Have a great week 🤗😘!

Aaaa Madame Grès, amazing ❤️❤️❤️

Madame Gres is a great find 😍

Happy to see you back Have a great new year I enjoyed the video although I think it wasn't a succesful blind buy... I usually don't have good luck with blind buys and try to not do it at all (this is how I "stay in budget" also😸😸)

Hi 🤗! Happy New Year! I am starting to like more Black Perfecto and Madame Gres was a very nice surprise. It already found a lovely home 😍. Even if maybe I haven't found the next best perfume.... I don't regret buying them. Black Perfecto and Mauboussin were for a long time on my wishlist. It was inevitable 😅😘

I am on a low income but like to collect perfumes so I look at budget perfumes like SJP or Adam Levine, Anne Klein 11.

Enjoy your perfumes, no matter the price tag 🤗❤️! My mother used to handmade her violet perfume back in the 80s, when perfumes were very hard to get in comunist România. If we love perfume, we find a way 🤓I am very tempted by Lovely and Stash by SJP 😍

Glad everyone is fine🤗 as they grow up, kids get stronger and stronger, just be patient ❤️

Thank you 🤗❤️! Oh, I actually though of this through this crisis. That with age they will become stronger.

So glad you kids are better now! Everyone I know had an awful dose of the flu over Xmas and January. I have Madame Gres and it is lovely and so reasonably priced. I recently purchased Cabachard Cherie and was blown away by the quality of the perfume. I must say Gres do some fabulous fragrances! I feel the same about Black Perfecto and don't know why it is so hyped. Smells a bit like cigarettes and powder on my skin😔

Thank you Ann🤗! Yes, it was a very hard period for a lot of people I know. Hope you are well 💞! I will add Cabochard Cherie to my to try list 😍

Dear Lily, I am so glad that you are back. We all missed your videos, but most important is that your kids are doing well now 🤗 Regarding M-Micallef parfumes I agree with your comments. My best affordable blind buys and on sale were from Theodoris Kalotinis. I have ordered fragrances directly from parfumer. He is very kind person and personally I love Coffee addict and Alluring Fig. Although they are all quite unique. Wishing to you and your family all the best! Take care, Marina

Thank you, Marina 😘💞! Kalotonis is very tempting to me as well. Not very impressed with Coffee Adict, but I think I don't like coffee as a note after all. But I am so tempted to try Santal Wood and Tabacco Maniac 😁😍. Maybe I will buy a discovery set. Wishing all the best to you and your family as well ❤️!

Ah yes, blind buys can be risky, I have lots of affordable perfumes, some are more known and some more obscure... it's fun to find scents I love but there were also a few failures ☹ I really like tobacco and 2 affordable good ones are Insurrection II Wild (Reyane Tradition) and Rich Warm Addictive (Zara) A good one if you like ambr and white florals is Altamir (Ted Lapidus) - supposedly really close to Gaultier 2 One perfume that I blind bought and really enjoy but never heard of is Zoa Night (Parfums Regine) - its a kind of dark warm floral.
