Holy crap That valentino V perfume, I had as a teenager and am still in love with 15 years later. And I've just bought 3 bottles 2nd hand off eBay for between 80 and 100 € each. And it was relatively expensive when I bought it as a teenager. Glad you bought it. So glad you like it! I think it's a stunning perfume. So sad it was discontinued.
There was an entire range and various version. I remember my mother wearing the Valentino V in the absolu version (it was launched in 2005- I was 8yo at the time- it was also a limited edition apparently) and the original edp, it was her signature scent until it was discontinued.
I tried it , loved it and still regret not buying it when it was available. It’s right up my alley: classy , soft, vanillic without being too sweet. You are very lucky coming across this gem.
I wanted to thank you. A few weeks ago, I was driving home from work listening to a video where you listed the fragrances you were excited to wear this fall and I decided to finally pull the trigger on buying 5th Avenue Royale. I have been trying to cut back on blind-buying cheapies impulsively, but a trusted fragrance friend had recommended Royale and then you did too and I had had a bad day and decided to just go for it lol. I had seen it for sale in one of my fragrance groups for $13 shipped 🤯 and I messaged the seller as soon as I pulled up to my house. It came the next week and I am in LOVE with it. I cannot believe it was so inexpensive because it smells like it could be a niche fragrance. It’s sooo beautiful, right up my alley, and one of my favorite cheapies EVER. I could see it being one of my favorite fragrances period. So thank you for speaking so highly of it because I absolutely adore it. And perhaps I shouldn’t stop blind buying cheapies after all lol.
That Valentino V is a good find. It's going for ridiculous prices on Ebay. I have about a half bottle left and am rationing it as much as possible. It's a great amber based perfume.
Ah, that's discontinued. I hope you grabbed it, you lucky duck *watches video* Yeah so not one I'm personally familiar with but that's one people go nuts over trying to find and you waved your hands over some bath products and there it was for a few bucks lol Glad you like it!
Wow! I know you don't live in NYC. Where the hell do they have beauty products and fragrances not in protective locked store containers to protect against theft. They must leave house doors unlocked around that area. So weird to see this...
In most U.S. locations, items like this do not need to be locked up. It's only in Democrat-run cities (where crime does pay) that toiletries are under lock and key. I'd get out of the big city once in awhile if I were you. :)
I love these thrift store fragrance find videos! Thank you so much!
Glad you like them!
Holy crap

Yup… I own that one as well as 2 flankers( in a purple and a red bottle), too. I think they were discontinued, a while ago.
Oh wow!
Twilight woods and twisted peppermint are actually nice Fall/Winter scents
I just looked this up. And the cheapest you can get this in Scotland -uk is £60 Great find 💖
That Pink Sugarplum lotion! That's one of my favorite scents they've ever done and I'm so sad they didn't bring it back!
Omg I used to own v absolu in the red bottle and loved it 😍
What a fun find! I haven't tried this one but you've inspired me to take a look at my local VV for some treasures.
Please do and good luck! :D
Had to look this up on fragrantica while you described it. Looks good, glad it was a nice one.
Ahh what a nice find. Vintage Valentino 💜 I think it has fig in it.
Are they selling used lotion? I’m surprised by that - doesn’t seem sanitary.
Yes it's used lotion...agreed :(
Just saw it on Amazon selling for 499 here in USA. So treasure it! 🙂
Oh my...wow!
I laughed when I saw the comet cleaner 🤣😂
Hahahah...they sell EVERYTHING! Even "lightly" used underwear :/
@@DeliciousDelights 🤦🏻♀️😆 oh my,
Very very good fragrance
Ah, that's discontinued. I hope you grabbed it, you lucky duck
*watches video*

Great buy, I used to see it on mercari and they were selling for$150 to $200, I was not gonna blind buy it for that high price 🤪🤪
What a steal! Congrats on the find!
Thanks! :D
Great find!
maybe I should start checking our thrift store🙂 great find!
You should! You just never know what you might find...
Good find Arlene !
This must be a value village ?? 🇨🇦
Yeppers :)

For your information I live in Philadelphia and we leave everything unlocked..... I'm sorry, I lied. I'm just wishing my life away.
This is a secondhand store so probably not that precious. Also, she filmed this in her hometown of Winnipeg, in Canada.
@@Ndstars1 WOW must be trust worthy people in Canada
It’s only because it’s a thrift store if you go to a Winners or Marshall’s it’s in a clear box here in Canada
