Episode 101 of Love At First Scent
This was a CZcams Live broadcast streamed on Friday 3rd July 2020.
Unscripted. Unedited. Unrehearsed.
In this episode, I interviewed Alexandre Helwani, Brand Ambassador at Histoires De Parfums, the independent fragrance house founded by Gerald Ghislain in 2000. We talked about the brand's latest release - This Is Not a Blue Bottle 1.6 - as well as their iconic 1740 and their position in the scented world. We also took a few minutes to talk about Helwani himself, whose skills include making his own incense blends, some of which he's sold to a few French churches!

Thank YOU SO VERY MUCH my dear Dariush for this breezy interview. I very much enjoyed it on my end and look forward to more of your great work!
Not at all. Thank you for making the time.
What an extraordinary man , Thank you both...you too are extraordinary Persolaise !
And thank YOU most of all Angie :)
Wow, thank you, Angie ☺️
These interviews is just getting better and better. What a great ambassador for the brand. 👌
Yes, he really is, isn’t he.
Thank you so much for watching.
Omg ! I could watch and listen to Alexandre all day ! He was totally fabulous’ so knowledgable and totally fascinating. Loved his dress sense and hair too . Thankyou so much for a really interesting interview. I need to try 1740 if nothing else .
Wasn't he great?
You really must track down 1740.
Thank you so much dear Angela for being there most of all! The hair needs more work than the dress, that's all I can say. I do hope you enjoy 1740 -I mean, who wouldn't at this point?
1740, Noir Patchouli, 114 Amber are my masterpieces. Altho present formulation are beautiful but I miss older ones.
I love 1740 as well.
Thanks for watching.
This is such an UNDERRATED house. I own several and plan to buy several more
Totally agree.
Another great interview, HdP is my favorite house, I've got most of the line. Noir Patchouli and Irreverent are probably my favorites but they are all great.
Wonderful. Thanks for taking the time to write.
Late to the party; I'm a fan of HDP. A number of their scents have taught me a thing or two in regard to my fragrance journey. Prolixe taught me how important the dry down and sillage is. Never judge a scent purely on its opening. Really enjoyed this video, thank you.
Late or not, you’re more than welcome.
Yes, HdP have so much to offer, don’t they. Thanks very much for watching.
Great interview! I’m watching it years after the video was initially released and Histoires de Parfums is still making great perfumes--and still flying somewhat under the radar! I'm a big fan of HdP's 1740, Amber 114, and 1826. ❤Would love to see a follow-up interview with the house, if possible. Thank you for the great perfume content!
Thank you so much. Yes, I agree that Alexandre should come back soon.
I really enjoyed this one. Outstanding work from you two.
Greetings from Spain.
Thanks very much for watching.
Fantastic interview! I own bottles of Ambre 114 and 1740 and the discovery set.
Many thanks Pat, they are -like I said- my two favourites, although I shouldn't be playing favourites. I hope you'll find some other gems in the set. Thank you again for watching :)
Thanks for watching. Yes, those two are wonderful.
I 've bought Noir Patchouli enough to last a lifetime, considering my expected future fragrance "rotation".
Tankyou Persolaise for doing this, really grateful!
Not at all, thank YOU for watching.
Oh Noir Patchouli is such a keeper, I could've talked about it for hours too. For another time, perhaps. Thank you for watching, Umberto :)
i love watching mr Alexandre. Fascinating personality
I agree.
Thanks for watching :-)
Aww, thank you Wendy. Hopefully, I'll soon enough travel to a perfume retailer near you! Thank you for tuning in :)
Great interview Persolaise. What a fascinating guy. A very underrated brand. I enjoy Ambre 114 too. 1899 and 1828 are my other favourites. I'll be revisiting my sample of 1740.
Yes, I was delighted to be re-introduced to 1740 through this interview.
Many thanks for watching.
A really great perfume brand! I love thier pefumes!!
Thanks for watching.
Great interview Mr P! Thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening to Alexandre 😄 Looking forward to seeing him again on your channel 😊
Thank you Dana! I must say I enjoyed doing this quite a lot, can only hope for more occasions to do it as Dariush is such a lovely host!
Thanks for watching, Dana. Yes, let’s hope Alexandre comes back soon.
Love This house. Thank you for doing this 🙂
Many thanks to you for watching.
Thank you for the love Valerie :)
ohhhhh what a fun interview! thank you!!!!!!!!
Oooh, glad you liked it Anna-Lyssa! When you travel to Paris, come say hi, it's even funnier in person :)
😊 Thanks very much for watching.
This was a fabulous interview, by the way, and not just because it followed Renaud Salmon's massive evasiveness. This is another brand I'm enamored with because of their approach to perfumes, and the respect to history's nuances feels substantially educational. Mr. Helwani is animated, interesting, and comes across as possessing expert knowledge in his field. Thoroughly engrossing! Well done!
Thanks very much. Yes, a seriously underrated brand.
Loved it! :D
Wonderful. Thank you 😊
And I love Calone and love using it in my perfumes
It certainly has an important place in the palette.
That was a very interesting interview, thank you Persolaise. My favorite perfumes of HdP are Prolixe and 1899.. Awaiting a sample set of all the 6 Not A Blue Bottle fragrances right now. Love the 15 ml travel sizes.. Love the house.. Imo great packaging + great service..
I'm so pleased you enjoyed it. I hope your samples arrive soon.
So glad to read this Barbara! I hope you'll love the 1/.6 as much as I, and that comes from someone who mostly wears Ambre 114. Thank you for such a lovely comment and thanks for watching and supporting our work!
His pronunciation is remarkable!
Agreed!
I have Sir Ian McKellen aka Gandalf the White to thank for that...
You shall not pass!
Great interview Persolaise. Mr Helwani is a fascinating character!
You threw in a toughie at 46:47 but he handled it really well.
I have a feeling there isn't much he can't handle!
Thanks for watching.
Thank you, dear. To be fair, as tough a question it was, it was also very interesting and on point. This tension is present in almost every trade. If you look at a restaurant's dessert list, you'll always find a chocolate dessert because that's what 90% of the customers will order and this chocolate dessert will allow you the freedom to make whichever fancy/unknown/quirky dessert you want even though no one will order it. Does this mean the chocolate cake is bad? It doesn't. It just appeals to a broader audience. Am I taking advantage of this comment section to make my point clearer? Sure but who cares! Thank you for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Take as much advantage as you want, Alexandre. You make a very valid point. Thanks for writing. But it wasn’t really such a tough question 😉
Hi just back from work ! Sorry I missed you all live . Ready to dive in now . Lovely shirt x
Thank you :-) And thanks for watching.
Thank you Angela. An English lavender shirt felt in tone with a British interview. Hope you'll enjoy watching :)
I just love your shirt!
Thank you ☺️
For the longest time I wanted to delve into this brand but I did not know where to start. Now I have an overall idea and perfumes I want to smell. 1.4 and 1.5 do sound rather interesting!
Excellent! That was the overall aim of the video. I confess, I’m also intrigued by 1.4 and 1.5.
Thanks for watching.
Love Alexandre, he’s great. 😃
Agreed 😊
Thanks for watching.
Just ordered the discovery set ‘ very excited to try this brand .
I hope you enjoy their work.
Persolaise Perfumes it has 1740 in the set so fingers crossed 🤞.
Aaaah I am so excited at your own excitement! I can only hope you'll find a fragrance that will touch your heart and soul, dear Angela :)
Love Alexandre. I want to be his friend!
Friendship positions are open and require no curriculum nor cover letter !
Ha! I think you’ll need to join the queue... 😉
I want to join this queque too .
Alexander energy is amazing I would love to see more interviews with him
Agreed.
Thanks very much for watching.
I know this is cliche at this point, but I just had to say, that's a great shirt!!
Thank you 🙏 Some clichés are happily received.
HdP is a great braand
True!
Nice guy, but horribly affected accent. A total character albeit acting. He sounds like an American actor pretending to be cliched posh British but missing basic pronunciation of things. For example: 'Brand' is not and has never been pronounced BROND, that's just ridiculous. And never in the last 300 years has 'clove' been pronounced the same as 'glove'. Ever.
Thanks for watching.
