This is a fascinating episode! I am still watching and have just listened to the history of No 5. Interestingly, my 12 year old nephew is getting into fragrances. We went on a scent safari together and as soon as he smelled No 5 his eyes lit up. Not knowing anything about the perfume he exclaimed, “Aunt Emily, this is the best perfume I have ever smelled!” I always thought of No 5 as a mature fragrance but to a young nose with no preconceived ideas, it’s the perfect fragrance for him ♥️
That's really interesting isn't it?! I really wouldn't have expected that in some ways, but in another, to me it smells like 80s bubble bath and I find that comforting. Its got strong childhood associations for me though perhaps because my mum wore it quite often in the 80s. I wonder whether many other children think that?!
I have very similar experience with 7-10-year-old kids. Amazing.
So interesting! I wonder why they love it?!!
My guess - immaculate sense of smell, no prejudice, perhaps no associations etc. Or something else which for sure is not marketing 🙂@@dr.claire.perfume
Some scent memory perhaps, it does make me think of bubble bath which is a very childhood smell!
So much care, research, passion and time, Claire. This is what sets you apart and makes your videos special and wonderful!
Thanks Julija! Hope you are continuing to feel better ❤️ and yep, this one took an age to make! 🤣
I mean…. Getting Rasputin AND Hitler into one perfume video is a fabulous achievement! I love History and I hope you do more of these videos!
🤣 * huge air punch * I was extremely pleased 🤣 thank you ❤️ I'm happy that you enjoyed it! 🥰
Please read the book the perfume thieves
I don't believe advertising and celebrity endorsement have been responsible for Chanel 5's success. The scent itself is absolutely stunning and ineluctable. There is nothing like it. Once smelled, one can never forget. Magic!
It's one I don't wear often but I know that when I do wear it, I always enjoy it. I never imagined it would be something that I would ever enjoy, but I do! Thanks for watching 🥰
Hi Claire I’m here to learn 🤗 my favorite Narcisso is the signature white cube! I agree with CoCo I don’t want to smell like flowers 🤣 it’s so fascinating to hear the creative thoughts and process behind these classic fragrances, I watched a documentary on Serge Lutens fragrance Dent de Lait & I cried! 😢 thank you for researching and sharing with us ❤ there’s so much emotions and stories behind the scent 😉
Thank you ❤️ Oh those Serge Lutens' stories are really gut punchy! I remember Chantel Tiffany making a great video talking about those. I really like Dent de Lait, I never smelt anything else like that one!
Re: the original formulation of Bandit, it was actually much softer. I have a vial of it from 1948 and its has a surprising soft, floral aspect to it. The galbanum and artemisia blend into the background in the dry down and make it a much quieter and intimate fragrance (but still very unusual when you get up close - there's a certain something you can't put your finger on, very queer in all senses of the word ;) ) The current formulations (from 2010 onwards, can't speak to the older formulations) are amped up to meet our present olfactory sensibilities. There's also an inability to rely on the original, organic fixatives and ingredients used by Cellier (she was famous for her Celli-nade, a la Guerlain's Guerlinade, which gave her compositions a rich backbone and depth and which was sadly lost with her passing), so much if the complexity and genius of her compositions are lost in modern translations.
And thank you so much for the wonderful history of Marlene and Edith. I was aware of Marlene's relationship with the fragrance but didnt know that Edith had a history with it (or with Marlene!) too.
I think Edith is reputed to have worn quite a few fragrances over the years, I do wonder how much is myth now! Interesting to hear about the original formulation, I can imagine the new version is pretty different from your description. I found it a difficult wear. It's a shame it's not more similar to the intention. Thanks for watching 🥰
The NR friend is Carolyn Bessette Kennedy . She always wore Egyptian musk. Great video. 👏💫💖
Oh wow! I had no idea! She was an icon! Thanks for the info 🥰
I Agree Chanel needs no face to promote! I prefer to gaze at the bottle without the poster beside it lol 😊 oh Fracas!!!! You described it perfectly!
The bottles are very striking for sure. And wow I tried Fracas in the summer and mmm! ☺️
This was a fantastic history lesson, Claire❣️
The mixed-notes perfumes being popular only among ladies-of-the-night surprised me ❣️ How interesting 🤔
Thank you! ❤️
Yeah I don't know, I wouldn't have thought they would have afforded fragrance at all actually 🤷♀️
NR for her EDT is awesome.
I really like it too! 🥰
Chanel is so classic and timeless. It’s so fascinating how it withstood the test of time and is still very relevant
Yes it's stuck around. It's crazy how old that fragrance is now!
Wow what a detailed video. Love Chanel No5 it was so nice to hear the history.
Thank you ❤️ I'm happy that you enjoyed it 😊
fascinating information! keep being you because your content really sets you apart and we’re so here for it!!🙌🏾👏🏾
Thank you ❤️ I will! 🥰
Another fascinating episode! Love the thought and research that go into your work! 😀
Thank you 🥰
Not your everyday content creator...I'm always wowed by the information you share.
This video was so fun to watch...I was glued to the screen. Heheheh
Thank you ❤️ I loved researching this! This is my kind of video!
Hi Claire ❤ loved to hear the history of narciso for her 😊 let’s see the rest! 😮
Thank you ❤️
I absolutely love Edith Piaf. I’ve been listening to her music since I was very young ❤❤
Have you seen La Vie En Rose? Her voice is so distinctive and has a lot of feeling!
@@dr.claire.perfume yes ❤️❤️
Hi Claire! What an interesting and educational video! I don't really like Narciso Rodriguez for Her; maybe I'm anosmic to it, but all I can smell is some weird sour musk. Regarding Bandit, I sampled it, and it smells around 90% similar to Cabochard in my opinion. They’re both stunning leathery chypres, not for the faint of heart. I'd recommend the newest version of Cabochard; it's just a touch sweeter than Bandit, and I get no tobacco, just woody notes, oakmoss, and leather. Despite trying many vintage fragrances, Cabochard and Bandit still shocked me. I had no idea Bandit was Marlene Dietrich’s signature scent.
Believe it or not, I started working on a video about perfume history just yesterday. I’ll go through my entire collection decade by decade. Anyway, have a good weekend!😊
I think the Narciso Rodriguez musk is very divisive isn't it? I can't say I love the EDP or musc noir, but I love fleur musc and musc noir rose.
Bandit was a lot for me 🤣 it was so strong! I don't think it's very friendly at all. I looked up what Marlene and Edif were reputed to have worn and it seems like both have many fragrances associated with them, so who knows overall, but both were reputed to have worn Bandit at some point. I didn't try Cabochard, but wow I bet that's some price difference too! Robert Piguet is pricey!
Aah I look forward to lots more history! Thanks for watching 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume I don’t really enjoy anything from Narciso Rodriguez. I did somewhat like the rose musk one you mentioned. It’s similar to Poison. I agree, Bandit is a lot… and so is Cabochard. I find these two more vintage-smelling than the likes of Shalimar or No.5.🙂
Yes I agree, Bandit is more challenging than Shalimar or Chanel no5.
I feel so enlightened after this video! Fantastic effort, Claire!
Thank you 🥰
Bandit has a great history need to smell it again! 😊
It does! ☺️
You did a terrific job with this video, Claire! I genuinely love No. 5. I’ve known about Bandit for a long time but have never tried it!
Thank you ❤️ yes no. 5 has taken me a while but I've been reaching for it already this year. Bandit is a wild one 🤣 thanks for watching, have a great week 🥰
Fab video, Claire. Another perfume with a beautiful story is Lolita Lempicka. Did u know that the author of the novel Lolita (Nabokov)has discovered a butterfly named Carner blue? I find very interesting that someone writes such a well known story and...discovers a butterfly...I mean...it s pretty unusual, isn t it? 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Thank you ❤️ No I didn't know that! That's quite something! It really fits too with the brand and it's whimsical mature too. Thanks for watching 🥰
Awesome awesome sharing
This is my favourite brand
Thanks for sharing this with us
See you again take care
Keep intouch ❤️
Thanks for watching 🙂
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! You are an absolute gem in this community ❤️
Thank you! ❤️ Really happy that you enjoyed this! 🥰
Oh cool! I will listen while driving to get my groceries 🚙
Enjoy 🥰
I knew that there was a connection between SJP and Narciso Rodriguez both loving Egyptian musk! I had heard that but couldn't recall the exact details, I'm so glad you included that tidbit. I wore For Her when it first came out, and loved that musky dry down. I retried it recently in the stores and it just doesn't smell the same to me. Same with Bandit, my mom wore that one and I loved it. But, when I tried it recently from a perfume swap I didn't care for it at all. I love your videos! Thanks for this one.
I didn't ever own NR for her EDT but I first tried it many years ago and I recently tried it again and I also didn't think it was the same, but I wasn't sure whether it was just my memory of it being inaccurate. 🤷♀️ Maybe it's been reformulated? It's probably quite likely in 20 years...
Bandit for me is a bit of a struggle. I'm quite surprised by how soapy it is and also how much it reminds me of a diesel exhaust at points... I really was expecting something more definitely leathery. I wonder what the other formulations smelt like? 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume I’m curious! Sounds like I need to hunt for preformulated versions of both. 🤓
@@jackiejlw5493 I'd be interested to read your findings! 🧐
This was so interesting! I’d love to see more perfume history videos. 🙌🏻
Thank you ❤️ did you see my what's in a name video (linked in the description box in the section about this video / other videos mentioned) or my video on the rise and fall of Mugler perfumes? Those might be of interest to you! 🙂
N Rodriguez for her edt is one of my absolute favorites and always a complements getter 👍😘💖🌸
It's a classic for a reason 👍 the EDT is truly fab! Thanks for watching 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume thank you for all your remarkable videos always informative and inspiring to watch 👍🌸💖
@@Jassxbe1 thank you ❤️ it makes me happy that you enjoy the videos 🥰
Love how informative your content are. U are not always discussing top personal favorites which is totally useless to some because u did not intend to influence but educate in all aspects of industry.
From history, to top best sellers to perfume color psycho, to business and marketing ethics aspect.. so helpful..
You & Sam Macer are so helpful. I can imagine i am in crash course.
Sam was technical, is like chemistry prof. & you are in Theory and history. ❤😊.
Thank you! ❤️ I do try to be different.
If I'm being honest, I did try with Sam, I started to watch his musk video and I was shocked that his intro was exactly the same as mine and the video was posted only a few weeks after mine, I didn't watch the rest as I didn't want to get annoyed, I assume (and hope!) it was different to mine later on as I know he is a perfumer so he must have different angles on things! He also made a petrichor video weeks after mine but I didn't watch it. I realise that content will overlap occasionally so I'm sure it was just coincidence. He is huge and has a lot of content now! 🥰
Hello Claire. I own two perfumes from your video. I love them very much. Thank you for the fascinating story.
Thank Yulia! Happy Saturday 🥰
Claire, your content is Top Notch!!! 😍😍😍
Thank you! Have a lovely week 🥰
I am so so glad I found your channel, cheers from canada ❤❤
Thank you ❤️ I'm happy that you are enjoying it 😊
Just learned now that Christine Nigel & Francis K., 2 of my most favorite perfumers did the Narcisso Rod EDT❤❤❤. They really have Unique talent..
It's a striking and memorable fragrance in a very understated composition. 👍
@@dr.claire.perfume Indeed!.
They have unique talent because they have ability to compose fragrances that has massive and iconic appeal.
Yes such a big hit, it's faded a little now, but it's still big.
This was fascinating. Thank you for your unique and informative content!
Thank you ❤️
I have a vintage bottle of Bandit. I wear it about one day a year, just for myself. It does grow on you if you wear it sparingly but I could never make it my signature scent. It is like time in a bottle. Your videos are very well done and I appreciate you sharing this history with us.
Thank you ❤️ Yes I agree, it grew on me the few times I've worn it, but it's definitely not a scent of now! And wow, it's loud 🤣 thanks for watching 🥰
Love these types of videos from you.
Thank you ❤️ I'm happy that you enjoyed it 🥰
For Her EDT is quiet sexuality. She’s not trying to be sexy- she just is. I’ve worn this since I was 21 and I will wear until I’m 91 - it’s a masterpiece
Yes I think that is its success in a nutshell! What a fab choice of signature fragrance 👌
Very cool!!❤ there is nothing like Chanel 5 in my opinion ❤
I already wear Lovely, but I need the Narciso Rodriguez one I think❤
Thank you ❤️ yes no5 is a classic, everyone has an opinion on it, whether they enjoy it or not. I think Lovely is a great fragrance 👍 thanks for watching, have a lovely Sunday 🥰
Hello Claire, thank you so much for this fascinating video. I have a little story to share with you related to Chanel n° 5. I went in Bruxelles to an "Atelier" organised by the house of Guerlain and the speaker told us about an anecdote. As master perfumers and far fewer than now, Jacques Guerlain and Ernest Beaux were at the restaurant having dinner. They knew each other everybody in the perfume world knew the other masters perfumers. As they were having fun, and drank quite a lot, they were a bit "tipsy" and had this wonderful idea to challenge the other. The purpose of the game was to "copy" the best seller of the other one. So Ernest Beaux has to copy Shalimar and Jacques Guerlain has to copy Chanel n° 5. No news about Ernest Beaux , but Jacques Guerlain as a man of his words worked on it, and he realised "Liu" in 1929. The similarity is absolutely inchanting and the thing is, even the perfume is very very next to the Chanel, he managed to let a little hint of his wonderful Guerlinade. It's a masterpiece to copy somebody remaining himself despite everything. I'm so admirative ! He told for the marketing that this perfume was inspired by Puccini 's opera Turandot. Thank you again for your work, I love your scientist approach, and thank you also for your real work, I'm a nurse ! I wish you a wonderful year and a strong health. Greetings from Belgium.
Oh that's so interesting! I can imagine Guerlain putting his own signature on it with his use of powdery sweet musks. He had a very distinctive style. I can imagine he made something a little friendlier than no5. I would love to try it!
Thank you! You too! Best of health and happiness for 2024 🥰 Thanks for watching ❤️
So educational! I love your videos, Claire 💕
Thank you ❤️ it's really lovely to know that they are enjoyed 🥰
This is a very good introduction video and certainly whetted our appetite to learn more about perfumery. Yes, the smell of Narcisso Rodriguez for Her EDT is very sensual like you wear it as your second skin.
Do you know that Chanel no 5 has its own older twin in Russia? It is called the Red Moscow or Krasnaya Moskva. While Ernest Beaux managed to escape Russia before the revolution, unfortunately the creator of the Le Bouquet Favori de L' Imperatrice Catherine (Krasnaya Moskva) stayed in the factory in Moscow because he lost his passport. Krasnaya Moskva was a very famous perfume during Soviet Era. I wonder how does it smells like? It was very despicable of Coco Chanel to become associated with Nazi.
I was searching for Bandit and Fracas for the past 2 months (after watching your video 2 months ago) but couldn't find them in physica stores. Robert Piguet must be a legend since he had trained Dior, Balmain and Givenchy. I wonder how Fracas smells like? Maybe it smells like Carnal Flower by Frederic Malle? I can imagine Bandit's bad girls image, a smell of domineering type of girl who likes to wear leathery and rubbery jacket with motorcycle.
I did not know that there was another contemporary similar fragrance to Chanel no5, that's interesting.
With the Piguet fragrances, you can perhaps order a sample set, I am not sure all have Bandit, but I think all have Fracas. I did manage to try Fracas in store about a year ago, I thought it was lovely and just a better quality version of Madonna Truth or Dare really. Of the two, Bandit is the much more challenging wear. It's thick! Thanks for watching 🥰
Am loving each and every tin you do
Thank you 🥰
So interesting! Loved the video and you have prompted me to put NR EDT in my cart. AND...the next time I visit the mall I'm going to sniff No. 5 again. I smelled it decades ago but my scent memory is really vague at this point. 😄
Thank you ❤️ if you liked this then definitely try the what's in a name video! I think you would like it! Narciso Rodriguez EDT is definitely one that is deep love or hate, there seems to be little in between. Chanel no 5 is one I've learnt to appreciate... It's taken 40 years 🤣 good luck 🥰
Claire, your dedication shines through in every aspect of your videos-whether it's the meticulous research, the evident passion, or the time and care you invest. That's what truly sets you apart and makes your content so special and wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed your channel and the video-I'm already looking forward to the next one! ❤
Thank you ❤️ I loved making this 🥰
Happy New Year and happy Saturday! I’ve so missed watching but needed to take a step away for the holidays. As always you’ve delivered a n amazing history of some iconic fragrances. Love it and looking forward to more.
Happy new year 🥳 oh me too! I took two weeks off watching! I needed some time away! I'm happy that you enjoyed this 🥰
Absolutely enjoyed and I appreciate your conversation. ❤
Thank you ❤️ have a fab week! 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume and you as well :)
Hello beautiful Claire. Happy new year . Here watching.
Hi Pat! 🎉 Hope you had a good one! ❤️
Hey Claire, great video as always! 😊
Thanks Erica 🥰
I haven't smelt the edp version of Narcisso Rodriguez yet, believe it or not but I wore and adored the edt version and I still remember the advertisement with this beautiful model. I remember thinking she reminded me of the godess of harvest maybe because of her hairdo.
Yes! I think that's more accurate than Aphrodite actually with the plait! That's a good shout! The EDT is a classic. I really like it. 🥰
With all the fragrances I've smelled, I also haven't smelled the edp yet, which is funny because usually thats the more popular version of a fragrance 😅
It is so weird isn't it? Like Daisy I guess, the EDT is the famous one that came first, the EDP the lesser known one!
This was a really enjoyable video! I love my Saturday mornings with Claire 🥰
Oh fab! Thank you so much 🥰
What a perfectly lovely retelling of the histories of these famous fragrances! So love it! Many thanks, Claire!❤️🌹
Thank you ❤️ I'm happy that you enjoyed this! Thanks for watching 🥰
This is such an interesting and informative video. Love learning the history behind famous perfumes.
Thank you ❤️ me too! I really loved finding something out about each of these for this video. Have a fab Saturday 🥰
Claire WOW this was fascinating thank you! You have a flair for storytelling too! Loved it! ❣️❣️❣️
Thank you Jill ❤️ really happy that you enjoyed it! I loved researching this! Have a lovely weekend 🥰
I’ve only sampled the first two but I’m fascinated by the third. Terrific that you won it and can get to know it better. I love the history of Robert Piguet and the celebrity connection to Bandit.
Really great video!
It was a real surprise that I'd won Bandit! It's a fragrance I would never have bought myself, I'd have probably bought Fracas if I were choosing one from Robert Piguet I think! Bandit is a very striking fragrance, definitely not an easy one. I actually struggle to see either Dietrich or Piaff wearing it! 🤣 Different times though I guess! Thanks for watching 🥰
Loved this! Thank you so much ❤︎
Thank you ❤️
Hey Claire. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching 🥰
Loved this video!!❤

Thanks Maude! 🥰
I enjoyed this historical video! I’m a huge fan of Chanel No. 5 and Narcisso Rodriguez For Her. Thank you, I look forward to your videos on Saturday mornings ( I’m in British Columbia).
Thank you! They are great fragrances that have stood the test of time 🙂 I hope it's not too cold in BC right now. 🥶
I’m only 30 and I’d heard stories from my mum that my Nan used to wear no5 when my mum was younger and it wasn’t very well liked because it was really heavy and strong. So I was really surprised when I tried it yesterday that I liked it. In fact I liked it so much that I purchased the original no5 the l’eau no5 and the no5 eau premiere along with chanel coco.
It's gorgeous isn't it? I really enjoy wearing it and I like the flankers too! I have a bottle of Coco and Coco Noir but I would love Eau premiere and l'eau too! I hope you enjoy them 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume. I think they are beautiful as well and I have a bottle of coco noir now as well but I have to careful because I can’t wear any of my no5 perfumes or coco around my Nan as she didn’t like the smell of them. She’s stuck using the perfume she’s been using for as long as I can remember it’s Estée Lauder youth dew.
@@amberfranklinmk93 my step mum wears Youth Dew, that's a very strong fragrance! Does she like YSL Opium? To me they have some similarities. 🤔
@@dr.claire.perfume. I don’t know to be honest. My I gave her 3 perfumes that I purchased myself last year.
@@amberfranklinmk93 aah ok 😊
Another great video👑
Thank you 🥰 happy Saturday ☺️
This one was fascinating! I new the problematic history of Chanel No. 5, but the other stories were new to me. ❤❤
Thank you ❤️ yes the story of Chanel is very 😱 there is much more than that too! I guess she was someone who fought without rules, someone quite ruthless. Not the most moral of people. Thanks for watching 🥰
I really love and didn't know about the Narciso Rodriguez For Her edt story. Very interesting. It's funny because when I first blindly bought it, I was specifically looking for an all black bottle and NR immediately caught my eye. It was so simple but chic, so it's nice to know MFK was actually intentional about it and that it worked on me lol
I can totally see that! That bottle is iconic and really pops on the shelf, it's sooo different and striking! Thanks for watching, have a lovely Sunday 🥰
Wow loved it all ❤
Fab! 🥰
Enjoyed this very much, Claire 🙏✨💙 Happy Saturday 😂
Thank Tina! That's lovely to read! Happy Saturday to you too! 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfumethat story about Coco is actually pretty awful. Idk if I can keep buying Chanel. 😮
Well, bear in mind that the Wertheimer descendants own it now, so it's nothing to do with Coco Chanel other than the name.
I always love these videos. I didn’t know any of this information. It’s a little sad that Chanel was taken advantage of in my opinion. I’ve never heard of Bandit until today.
These types of videos really make me want to know more about perfume than just it smells good. Great video.
I love these videos too! Although I don’t really agree that Chanel was taken advantage of. She made a legitimate contract that she later regretted. Then she tried to get the actual Nazis to void the contract because the people she made the contract with were Jewish. To call her behavior unethical seems like a massive understatement…
Thank you! I really enjoy researching these! Bandit was a huge shock to my nose! It is so so strong! 🤣
Sadly I think Chanel was just hungry for success with her fragrance business and made bad decisions. Then she tried to go back on the deal, but in one of the worst ways possible. I think in France she is viewed by some as a collaborator and so not looked upon fondly. What she did was pretty low. I'm happy the Wertheimer brothers saw that coming and made sure they were protected, sadly so many other people in similar situations weren't protected and lost much more than their businesses.
Good morning Claire. I’m ready for my history lesson
Hi Liz! Hope you are well. I'm doing more of my job application today 🤓
What a fantastic video.
Love the story behind NR, yes musks do have such a strong great carnal power. The bottle is great. Well SJP could have maybe just brought a bottle without copying it 🙄.
Rasputin has such an incredible story around him. Coco certainly has a very "colourful" story behind her. Interesting beginnings to collaborating traitor. Money and greed definitely does bad things to humans. Ch5 really is a special one and yes ylang-ylang is a big part of it. I guess that was a great way of marketing too, obviously very shrewd. The bottle certainly is iconic too.
Piguet sounds like quite a character. No Fracas is wow. I need to get Bandit sniffed. The bitter green could be a struggle for me. Though sweat and cig smoke sounds very good. The floral bits too. And haha in a word "no" 🤣. Yes green leather smells of well "green" on me, not a love. I think you could wear it to Asda 😉. I love the story behind it all to and it's associations. Marlene was quite a woman. Weird a woman condemning a far right evil lunatic gets u basically hated and banished yet supporting weirdly the very same man made another lass a great hero 🤔🙄. I think Rishi is an idiot too. But yes 🤣.
Thanks Dr Claire ❤️ loved this video, it was brilliant. I want more like this. I know that White Rose (& Beef Dripping) was worn by Elizabeth Windsor and Harry and Meghan wore Bergamotto from Floris too. That is all 🤣
Yeah I think Coco was just so desperate to be rich that she really had zero morals. But at least she never regained control of the fragrance business. I would love to know how the French view her, hero or villain.
Bandit is just very dense and smokey isn't really the right word, it's more like smog, almost burning fuel. It's not the same or even similar, but the blackness of it made me think of that black to black by Mancera that made me think of diesel. Good luck with it. Did you like any of the samples that you have apart from Fracas? I think Bandit would turn many heads in Asda.
It is really odd isn't it? Germany had turned their back very abruptly on fascism by the 1960s but yet Marlene was being spat at, it makes me wonder if there was more to it or whether the propaganda machine was really making such a massive and long held mark on people's views. 🤔
I think maybe the Queen liked roast beef and it stuck, or maybe she just never paid much attention to the fragrance but there are distinct whiffs of Sunday lunch there. 😂
I can't wait to hear what you think of bandit! 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume I haven't sniffed anymore just yet. I get so lost and distracted.
Yes who nations "idolise" or "despise" is both baffling and dangerous isn't it. I mean look at us we banished a Prince cos he didn't marry a white lass and didn't play ball with the right wing press so now they've convinced the country he's some how awful and choose to ignore his uncle who I'd not shed a tear over him being hounded out.
🤣 Anyways loved this video
Thanks 😂
Hello there! It appears that I’m (fashionably) late to this upload 😅
Try Cuir de Russie by Chanel 😊
Yes! I wanted to try that after my leather video, I was reading about it! I need to try to find it in Harvey Nichols ☺️ thanks for watching 🥰
Umm,I’ve not smelled Chanel no5 or any Chanel fragrances for that matter. They just don’t appeal to me in this stage of my life for some reason.
Nevertheless , this is absolutely my kinda history lesson. Thank you Claire !
Thank you ❤️ I'm really happy that you enjoyed this!
Haha, I totally get that 🤣 It took me a long, long time to enjoy Chanel. I'd say really, you only need one, if any at all. They have a very distinctive Chanel feel to them all. If you don't like that, you won't like any. Thanks for watching 🥰
Did not know that Chanel is owned by the former owners of the. Perfumery line interesting 😮and fun considering what happened earlier on
Yes they are doing well! It's a nice twist of fate 😉
@@dr.claire.perfume indeed 😉
Like your stories😊
Thank you 🥰
I love this, Dr. Clair! More, please?! 😊
Thank you! ❤️ I'm really happy that you enjoyed this! Did you see the other similar video that I made about some other fragrances? czcams.com/video/QHorIVYvBkc/video.html
@@dr.claire.perfumeNot yet, but I just found the playlist! I’ll be watching them all! Thank you 😊
Enjoy 🥰
Merci Claire!
De rien! 🥰
This was fun.😊
Chanel never did anything like anyone. She was such a pioneer back in those days.
I actually prefer Lovely to NR edt. But love Pure Musc and Musc Noir Rose. 😍
Thank you! ❤️ Yes Chanel was a very avant garde kind of person. Independent, ambitious and fierce for her time and a good marketeer.
I think I do too really, considering the price difference too! I really like Musc Noir Rose, but I get mixed up between Pure Musc and Musc Noir 🙃 I'm not sure which is which now 😂
@dr.claire.perfume Pure Musc is the white rectangular bottle. It's crisp, clean and I get a little bit of freesia from it. Awesome warmer weather jeans and T-shirt scent. 👍👍
Aah ok, I need to refresh my memory of those two! Thanks 👍
Catherine deneuve has the bottle that I have in my collection in her advertisement. I'm trying to figure out the year that my perfume was made with that label and black cap.
Catherine Deneuve started advertising for Chanel in the 70s I think but it went on well into the 80s or maybe even the 90s!
I so appreciate this history lesson & your inclusion of so many little details, even the bottle info. All so very interesting❤
Thank you ❤️ I'm happy that you enjoyed it! 🥰
Good evening Clare 🥰
Hi Frances! I thought you were taking a break?!
@@dr.claire.perfume I’m definitely taking a break from making videos ,but I still like to check in on a few of you 🥰
Aah! Well it does take a while! I get it! I may stop for a bit if the job interview stresses me out. 🙃
I have SJP Lovely, and I adore it.
Yes! I finished my bottle because I constantly wore it to bed, I miss it! 🥰
@@dr.claire.perfume I can definitely imagine it being a great bedtime scent. 🔥🌹
It makes me think of hotel plush white duvets 😂
BTW…you have enchanting eyes. 🤗
I'll take that compliment and run and I'll also pass the compliment to my ringlight too as I think that probably has a lot to do with it 😂 but thank you! ❤️
Have you already done the history of fracas??
I touched on it in my celebrity perfumes video but as I don't own it, I haven't. I do love it though. I tried it in a shop a while back and truth or dare does indeed smell a little like it.
@@dr.claire.perfume i think it is pretty much a perfume with no age indeed !
Yes it smells timeless
I don't get the No 5 hype, at all. My mother wore it when I was growing up and I couldn't stand it.
I am heavily into fragrance and have been since I was 19. I'm 48 now and a couple years ago I decided to try No. 5 again. I just couldn't believe that it is so beloved. I really don't get it. 🤷🏼♀️
My mum wore the EDT which was in a splash bottle and I actually drank some when I was little and had to spit it out in the sink 😂 anyway, that put me off it for a good 35+ years, but I do have a partial bottle now and I wear it very occasionally, only twice so far this year though 🥰
Hi Claire! The Narcisso musks do not work for me. It’s loved by so many. It was interesting to hear the inspiration behind it 🫶🫶
Yes I totally understand! I'm not that sure about some of their fragrances myself, it's stronger in some than in others. 🤔
Hello Claire. I own all the perfumes in your video. I love them very much. Thank you for the fascinating story.
No problem Yulia ❤️ always lovely to hear from you! They are lovely fragrances!
How strange 😂. I have edited my comment, but it shows anyway 😂😂😂
The wonders of CZcams 🤷♀️😂
