Ya know, I tried this and at first it is too intense. But after an hour with a single moderate spray, it actually becomes quite nice. It’s just too heavy at first.

Was about to give up after the review of first one but glad that I kept watching. I completely agree with you about the perfumer vs the brand. Unless the brand is owned by a perfumer themselves, what they are working on is a brief by the brand and it depends on how much creative freedom, material range and the kind of approach they were given. At least that is my understanding.

Hello dariush : ) is celine unisex or feminine ? Thank you

Although it might not necessarily be regarded as a sandalwood scent, Xerjoff's RICHWOOD has long been one of my favourites.

I just found out ,that the extraits of Jicki, Mitsouko and Vol de Nuit are no longer available 😮 A very friendly lady at Guerlain told me this via email today 😢 This is really sad and the end of an era... But thank you very much for this video - we all really appreciate your work ❤

Fantastic interview. Looking forward to part 2. I am in love with the brand ❤. My SOTD is Osmanthe Liu Yuan.

Listening to you is the adult version of storytelling time at night when I was a kid. Thank you! I’m sure everybody has saw this video but for the few that haven’t, it’s a treat: czcams.com/video/XwtCbVhhGfg/video.htmlsi=dipRzhSQgw1lW31l

The most adorable opening remark: “the cherry may be lost, but the almost has been found” 😂 Loved it. I too must confess, liked the perfume.

I bought the EDP today and I'm very very happy with it! It's EXACTLY what I wanted - thank you very much for your detailed review 😊.....RIEN is still also on the list by the way but not easy to find here😉

Oh here we go .... the snootishness is coming out now ahahaha. Notice I use snoot-ish as opposed to the definite snooty. But of course I am only teasing you. One of the things that I found endearing on your videos is how much self-awareness and the self-reflection you have, during your talk. You're very considerate and often retract or not so much as retract but restate the almost criticism hehehe. We did lambast the literature that came with the fragrances on this video and I do agree with the sentiments. Anyone can just write anything these days, I've noticed these to become the journalism ethos after the new millennium, everything just becomes extreme and overly saccharine. And I just love all the facial expressions you have in this video hahaha! So far I think this is the most entertaining that I have watched yet!

Oh I think I now know why you fold the pipette as you sometimes refer to them. So that you can pick them up easily, right?

I just found out that they discontinued Joy 😮 This makes me really sad - it was one of my late mother's favourites. Losing a beloved perfume is like losing an old friend...

A very good review! I've tried Portrait today and it's really fascinating. It reminds me a little bit of Montale Rose Oud and Amouage lyric but I think it's darker, velvetier with a very interesting smokey incense note- gothic! The rose is very realistic ... For me it's like a very dark red, velvet gown...like the one Vivian Leigh is wearing in Gone with the Wind. And again I have to thank you for the experience 😊

Now I want to see your mum 😂

I’m curious to see your Winona 😜 hopefully will get a glimpse of her as I go through your only hundreds of videos hahaha

My gott the way you are evaluating Bat makes me want to smell it too. Actually I am having this idea now that I probably would enjoy smelling perfumes more than wearing them. And now I am developing this uncanny reason for buying discovery sets, ha!

Excellent! Audio is much improved. Shows you have evaluated the first video and made improvements. I appreciate the effort and dedication you have to putting out a production of high quality

Interesting how they design these balloons. One looked like the man has a dragon frontal appendage and the other has fish head(?) for a tail

I have a question, what is the reason you fold the papers?

Hello Persolaise! I just recently discovered you from a video of Ffern review which I was curious about and doing some research. I really like your disposition and now I am binging on your videos. I always like to go back to the beginning so I am here :)

Please keep saying "One and all" ☺️

That was a great journey to watch your video, sir! Thank you so much!

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Corticchiato about 2 weeks ago, when he gave a talk here in Bordeaux. Not only are his creations wonderful, he also comes a cross as a delightful man. Charming, passionate, and without any pretentiousness. He talked quite frankly about how he feels about the industry as well. Unfortunately this summer love was way too heady for me.

I adore both Shalimar and L’heure Bleue though Shalimar was an immediate love and L’heure Bleue took a few wears for it to click for me.

I never tried Après l'ondée , I ordered it blind and what can I say - it's a masterpiece! Such melancholic elegance, a beautiful scent of an ending Epoque - for me its very old austrian in a way... I will definitely hunt for the extrait- not an easy task here in the hidden parts of Austria. Thank you very much 😊

Hi Persolaise, I love rose and I love Oud, what is the best real Oud and rose fragrance in your opinion. Something that is readily available and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. 🙏🏼

We'll that was really interesting and inspiring - I think I will give 'Rien' a try 😊 thank you very much

I followed your recommendation and ordered a bottle of Mukhalat Malaki- it's unbelievable! Thank you very much By the way, have you ever tried Rose and Musk?

Loved your reviews 💛 And it just so happens I received the sample of Un bel Amour d’été last week. So far, I’m quite in love with it! 😁🥰

Gunpowder and vanilla combination sounds so fun and intriguing. Lot of new scents on your channel recently. Need to catch up on other videos as well :)

"Hello, there one and all", has more gravitas 😊 please keep it.

Funnily enough, while it’s ALWAYS scorching in Sri Lanka, we’re having a lovely summer! It’s like a Goldilocks summer ! Not too hot, not too rainy.. (didn’t want to say cold, as it’s NEVER cold)

Haven't dipped into this house yet. Any house recommendations for a subtropical climate?

I'm very happy that Parfum D' Empire has gotten a lot of love in the community. 21 away from a 500th episode.

wow, this is the first time i've ever tried something you review, before you've reviewed it - and it turns out, on the same day! 😅i put on un bel amour d'ete this morning, and have been watching your video this afternoon. i get way more magnolia from this than gardenia. (i have a gardenia bush in my yard, and magnolia trees in the park near my house... so i feel like i know the scent of both fairly well. and yes, gardenia is a summer bloom) also, i find it leaning on the side of light vs. rich/heavy, which i think is notable given that it's a white flower scent.

I haven't delved into this house yet. I'm curious about the tuberose, given its one of my favourite notes. But seeing the hype online makes me somewhat less enthusiastic about the house unfortunately. Thank you for your review 😊

There are 5 Harrods Beauty stores around the UK so visiting London isn’t necessarily essential to try Harrods exclusives - i tried the Oud & Zagara in the Harrods store in Gateshead when i was visiting friends last week.

Mr. P quoting Madonna, yesssss!!

for anyone that loves gardenia, you should try the Lady Day candle from Harlem Candle Co. It’s incroyable!

LVMH bought Buly. I’m glad to have been able to try them before the takeover. Who knows what direction LVMH will steer this ‘heritage brand’ to?

I fear that Maison Crivelli is releasing lots of scents/extrait to be hype, trying to catch up with a dangerous consumeristic kind of "fomo"; what is your opinion? I hope I am wrong (I own 3 of them and super happy btw).

Maybe it’s a bit more like London from Widian?

“Weird in a nice way” is my life goal 😊

BIG BIG love for Parfum d'Empire

The screen is black !!!😮

Kyoto rules!!! ❤

I’m in Colorado in the US, and it’s 98 degrees Fahrenheit today! It has been a hot spring and summer here too. I am gravitating to orange blossom scents in response.

I feel like we’re seeing a lot of raspberry this year. I have yet to find one that feels authentic rather than raspberry syrup-like. They also feel really sharp to my nose.
