Episode 46 of Love At First Scent
This was a CZcams Live broadcast streamed on Tuesday 8 October 2019. Unscripted. Unedited. Unrehearsed.
In this episode, I covered Chanel No. 5 Eau Premiere, composed by Jacques Polge.
Here's a link the Best Perfumes For Autumn 2019 post I mention in the video: persolaise.com...

Here’s the blotter update:
- This stuff is just touched by genius. The woods, citruses, florals and musks all work together in harmony, creating an image of diamond-lined angel wings, brushing against your skin with heartbreaking delicacy. Beautiful.
Thanks again for watching.

I bought it the year it was released luckily. It is a stunner that just makes everyone smile. What’s not to love? It’s everything a perfume should be.
Well done, you! And yes, it’s beautiful, isn’t it.
Thanks very much for watching 😊
All I want to say is #JUSTICEFOREAUPREMIERE . Very Underrated and very Overlooked perfumes.
I love it too... but is it really underrated? I thought it was very highly regarded.
Thanks very much indeed for watching 😊
I have the version of Eau Premiere in the tall bottle, and it is my favorite of the No. 5s. My bottle of L’Eau was given to my 30-something daughter, who admired its lightness. So that worked out well! I’m catching up with all your videos, so you might find a comment from me scattered here and there. Thank you for the care and hard work you put into your videos.
Not at all, thank YOU for watching - comment as much as you like 😊
And yes, I have the original, tall bottle too. Such a wonderful piece of work.
Oh..there's a tall version bottle of eau premiere ?...never encountered one but i did bought the 100 ml bottle...would love to buy the tall bottle ☺
Hi, have been lurking for a while and finally subscribed. I must say you're narrative, delivery and depth of knowledge make you by far the most enjoyable reviewer to watch/listen to on YT. And if that wasn't enough, following your reviews I've added several frags to my collection that I'd otherwise have let pass me by! THANK YOU!!!!
Dear Jamie,
Thank you for taking the time to write such a kind and generous comment. I’m touched. And thanks for subscribing 😊
I’d love to know which scents I persuaded you to add to your collection, if you don’t mind sharing the info.
@@Persolaise Of course, am happy to share. Quartana Wolfsbane, Tauer Lonestar Memories (LDDM just seemed flat and a tad dull on my skin for some reason) and will be adding L'eau too, and both the Gallivant and Jusbox houses, I have LA and Istanbul from Gallivant and may pick up London and 5 from Jusbox, Green Bubble, Use Abuse, Feel N Chill, Cheeky Smile and 14 Hour Dream....I think that's it for now!
Jamie Brady Wow, that’s quite a list, thank you. And I’m so pleased that you enjoyed Lonestar 😊
What a very poetic blotter update! I recently ran out of no5 edp and had the chance to get a 2015 1/3 of a bottle of this. It is beautiful and very alive. It can smell so different depending on what I have not found out yet. Tonight it smells a lot of the original no5, just a bit calmer and more vanillic. However I have also worn it when it was more austere and woody smelling. I'll not say more.......can't keep up with the poetry.....
Thanks very much. And yes, I think Eau Premiere is quite special.
To avoid any misunderstanding. I think Eau Première definitely deserves the poetry! And there is nothing to add because your perception of it is touching.
Ok I am convinced , next purchase. You described it so Tantalizingly well........why have I not tried this before, I have no. 5 and I have Leau
And Gabrielle and coco mademoiselle I am enamoured with everything Chanel my next purchase thank you so much great review, really enjoyed it
Thank YOU for watching. And please do let me know what you make of it.
I'm late to the party but I had to share my point of view about the animalic facets of Number 5 & Eau Première. Number 5 smells (to me) of warm human skin more than any raw animalic product and Eau Première while not fleshy (or animalic) has a beautiful and very interesting short hair fur texture I always admired and loved,
That's fascinating, thank you. I confess, I've never found No 5 to be animalic, but definitely 'intimate' and human smelling.
I really like this new format. I also wanted to suggest you do one new release and one cult classic fragrance in each video. You could have different criteria such as notes in common, fougères, tobacco, etc. Or an original or v8ntage such as Channel 5 and the latest flanker of it. You get my drift... 😉
Excellent idea, thank you. And I’m so pleased you like the single-perfume episodes.
Thanks for the encouragement and the support 😊
Thank you for taking the time to do these! I was reading your Le Labo reviews and you said you loved Patchouli 24! Can you please wax poetic about this revelation in a bottle please? A very open-minded perfume, just like its relative Bvlgari Black. I also wish that more men gave Eau Premiere a shot!
Thanks very much indeed for watching. And yes, perhaps I ought to do a piece on Patchouli 24 soon. I see it as a very sci-fi scent, somehow.
Eau Premiere is wonderful!
Just discovered your channel! I also have Eau Premiere in the tall bottle. I like it but I wore it to the office once and it did not get a good reaction, even though it’s a tamer version of No 5! I also like L’Eau and that one doesn’t offend anyone. I think Chanel and others are trying to make fragrances that you can wear in any environment that people can easily understand. I have many more interesting fragrances, but can only wear these in certain situations.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting, Caroline.
It’s a shame if the people around you didn’t appreciate your scent... but sometimes they just need to be educated 😉 😂
Persolaise Perfumes Yes, that’s very true 🙂
Caroline Stokes 😉 👍
Enjoy them.
@@agak9974 I had someone keep saying on and on they could smell baby powder. I knew it was me! I think that’s just how No 5 reads to some people. On the other hand, my Fiancé loves it on me.
no5 EDP , shalimar and no19 are like calming drugs to me.
I know what you mean.
Thanks for watching.
Always enjoy your point of view!!
Thanks very much indeed 😊
Returning to express thanks! Upon reading your update in the description, I knew I had to share my life with Eau Premiere. And so today, I’m feeling olfactorily blessed to have visited Chanel’s site for a bottle last night. Can hardly wait for it to arrive.
Merci, M. Persolaise, for the recommendation. Enjoy the coffee! xx
(Oh! I nearly forgot to say thanks for illuminations about 4711 yesterday, which is also on the way. My journey has officially begun-and I shall wear them just. for. me.)
That’s so kind, thank you. And enjoy your purchases.
I cannot decide if I should buy leau or eau premiere first. I have been testing them out and they seem pretty similar and dont know if its worth having both
That’s totally up to you 😊 My personal preference is for Eau Premiere.
I have the 125ml in the original release, an exquisite masterpiece ❤
I wish I'd bought another bottle of the original.
Me too 😭😭😩
Bonjour Dariush, c'est la nuit du réveillon (pour la nouvelle année) et je suis en train de regarder tes vidéos sur les différents Chanel n°5! 😂 J'écris en français pour cette fois, désolée, mais j'imagine que tu as la possibilité de traduire avec Google ! Aussi je me permets d'utiliser le tutoiement parce que le français est plus guindé/compliqué que l'anglais où tout est simple avec le "you" et de toute manière sur internet ça paraît moins difficile de tutoyer.
J'ai la chance de posséder le N°5 en eau de parfum, et depuis aujourd'hui l'eau de toilette du N°5 que j'ai acheté en vaporisateur rechargeable. À cette occasion j'ai demandé un échantillon de l'Eau première en EDP ! Je suis couverte d'aldéhydes 😂
Je dirais qu'à mon nez amateur je sens le N°5 comme une sorte de drogue à la rose et au santal que j'adore et qui me rassure, c'est étrange ! Je dis drogue car j'imagine que c'est l'effet qu'on a quand quelque chose nous monte directement au cerveau ! Peut-être que c'est le "most earthbound" pour ça comme tu as dit dans une autre vidéo ! L'ayant senti en dernier après tous les autres, je dirais que c'est le plus puissant dans le sens où on dirait qu'il tient sur un tronc de vétiver et de mousse. C'est celui que je préfère porter je pense.
Le N°5 en eau de toilette, je le sens comme une sorte de mousse de savon, un peu comme le début de Rive Gauche en eau de toilette de YSL, un savon de luxe à l' Ylang ylang. C'est celui que je préférerais sentir plutôt sur quelqu'un d'autre ! (mais je le porterai quand même)
L'Eau première en eau de parfum est la plus bizarre, ou alors la plus ouverte comme tu l'as écrit dans ton article sur les parfums "open minded" d'automne en 2019. C'est le plus moderne et comme tu dis il me fait penser à l'encens, par exemple l'encens dans Cuir Beluga de Guerlain. C'est celui qui m'inspire le plus !
Et rien à voir, mais j'ai aussi demandé un échantillon de Coco et je crois me souvenir que c'est un préféré de Madame Persolaise. Il est fantastique, je l'adore comme un cocktail une nuit où on a déjà un peu trop bu 😬😂 Tout se mélange un peu mais je sens de la vanille, des fleurs exotiques, du laurier (bizarre ! ), quelque chose de piquant et rassurant à la fois, comme si j'étais ma mère qui faisait la fête (je crois qu'elle a déjà porté Shalimar) mais que j'étais aussi ma propre personne qui a une allure phénomènale dans son manteau d'hiver ! Bref, peut-être qu'il ne faut pas en abuser mais ça a l'air d'être un ami sur lequel on peut compter ! Sali Hughes l'a comparé à l'odeur du Coca Cola, je vois ce qu'elle veut dire maintenant ! Un Coca Cola qui me va droit au cœur, un peu comme le N°5 en eau de parfum me va droit au cerveau :) Merci pour tout ton dévouement à réaliser des vidéos si passionnantes. Tu as réussi à attirer une communauté mondiale et diverse qui est aussi agréable, éduquée et amusante que toi, d'après ce que l'on peut lire dans les commentaires. Maintenant il faut vraiment que je termine mes études pour me trouver un travail qui justifie cette passion du parfum ! Par exemple pour mettre la main sur quelques uns des autres parfums "ouverts d'esprit" que tu listes dans ton article de 2019 ! (Déclaration, Mémoire d'une odeur, Twilly eau poivrée, parmi les plus connus... )
Wow! What a wonderful comment to receive, thank you. And yes, Google was most helpful 😉
I love that we can have such a detailed discussion about different versions of *the same* perfume. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. And the Coca Cola line is very apt, I think.
Hi Mr P. I went today to buy the new current version of the Chanel no 5 eau premier and it is not what I remember that was in the longer bottle, and it was so watered down and actually very unpleasant to my nose. Smells nothing like the bottle you have here. So, I went straight to EBay to find the version you have in this review and found it. Phew! I was saved. 😅
Honestly, the current version is horrid, I never thought I would say that Chanel ever made a bad perfume but the current version of Eau premier is. X
Oh goodness me, really? Now I don't know whether I want to smell it or not.
@@Persolaise I was shocked , you should give it a smell and perhaps do a review on how different it smells. 😅 maybe yo your nose it may not be different, but to me it was nothing like the one you already have. 🤷♀️
I bought the new Premiére, and I think it's great, .. at the moment my top used favourite before Coco, yep, I feel that Premiére is my long wanted versatile Chanel, I am obsessed.
@@itsmeGeorgina that’s great. I bought the vintage one since then., The OG is wonderful.
I know this was a long time ago and I hope you'll see this. I have No. 5 but I really don't like the aldehydic top notes. A few people have mentioned Eau Premiere is a softer, warmer take on No.5 but then others say it's a lighter sheerer version. I really want to buy it but I'm really hoping it's softer and cosier. I love the base notes of No. 5 but those cold top notes really spoil it for me. Is it true Eau Premiere strips back the aldehydes? If so it would be PERFECT for me.
Hmm...interesting question. I would say that if the aldehydes leave you cold, you probably need to stay away from No. 5 altogether. Which version have you been smelling? Have you compared the edt with the edp? And have you ever smelt Hermes Caleche or Chanel’s own Bois Des Iles?
Thanks for watching.
Thank you! I've recently become fascinated/possibly obsessed with No.5. How does Eau Premiere compare to the original EDT and EDP?
I think you might find this video helpful: czcams.com/video/0pFwvuqztAs/video.html
I’d say Première is the most streamlined.
@Persolaise Perfumes thanks I enjoyed this one too! Will get some samples. Describing Eau Premiere as more streamlined sounds fitting. Happy lunar new year :)
Episode 46 already!! Are you planning anything major for the 50th episode? Deserves commemoration. Maybe a mass Sniffathon!? Hope I am around to catch it 'Live'.
Peggy Hui I’d love to see the whole collection!
Ha! 😂 I suppose I should plan something special...
That’s never going to happen 😂 😆 😂
May I suggest a dedication to a scent released 50 years ago? For example, Paco Rabanne's Calandre made its debut in 1969. I was gifted a miniature as a young teen and it started my own personal journey into fragrance. Sadly not so easy to get hold of over here in UK. But of course as this is your segment, the fragrance should reflect your own personal journey or memory.
Peggy, I absolutely love that idea. If I decide to use it, I’ll definitely say it came from you. Thank you 🙏
Hello great video I’m thinking about getting this one for my wife do you recommend this over the auto parfum version?
Oh - that’s a tough one. It really does come down to personal taste.
Thanks very much for watching.
This edition is not available anymore... Why not to review the one that is reformulated in 2015 that is widely available in stores?
That’s a fair question, but I specifically wanted to focus on the ‘original’ one today 😊 Sometimes it’s fun to review and chat about scents that many people might have in their collections.
Thanks very much for watching 🙏
I never liked #5, I keep trying because everyone waxes lyrical about it but it just smells like cat pee and grandmas who've lost their sense of smell. Can I still watch your videos?
😂 😂 😂
That’s certainly one of the most original descriptions of No. 5 I’ve ever come across.
And yes: if you keep making me laugh like that, you can definitely watch my videos 😉
I'm the same. Tried to find the magic of Chanel n.5 and all I get is sneezes and yuki smells. Eau première is better but still get the pee notes when I sniff it
seilanemsei This is fascinating. One thing I have heard from a significant number of people is that the aldehydic ‘brightness’ gives them a headache.
What will you suggest for new chanel teenage user eau premiere or eau de parfum???
That's got to be a personal choice.
Depending where you are in Brazil, and if its British summertime or not. Eastern Brazil time is 3 or 4 hours behind. Western 4 or 5 hours behind.
Ah, thanks for letting me know. I’d forgotten that Brazil is ‘wide’ enough to span two time zones.
Hi! Did you ever end up trying the recent version of this? Curious to know your thoughts. 🙂
No, not yet. I’m dreading it a bit.
Chanel 5 classic -sophisticated grown-up mature self-assured unique sexy female classic.
Totally agree.
Parfum,edc,edt,Eau premiere,body products and then the Eau de Parfum lol in that order of best to worst.
😂 Oh really? Why does the EDP come bottom for you?
Thanks for watching and commenting, by the way.
Persolaise Perfumes it feels as though the Eau de Parfum has the left about of florals or more powder and woods lol I still own a 200ml bottle of it but it’s no extrait lol
Fair enough. I think I love the EDP’s richness.
No, Persolaise. Chanel Does NOT need to take No. 5 in a different direction for the new generation that does not want to smell “like their grandmas” (as you said). Let the new generation go in their own direction and buy other perfumes. Leave Chanel No. 5 alone.
I agree with you… but I suspect Chanel have other ideas.
@@Persolaise Thank you! I very much appreciate your knowledge and passion for perfumes. BTW, I’m not a grandma who clings to No. 5. I’m simply one of millions who recognises that perfumery would not exist today without giants like No. 5 and others from that era. Again, thank you for your fine work.
Err... missed the live stream this time too...
That’s okay 😊
Thanks for watching the recording.
Interesting and Interested..Lovely ....i would like to join your live chat please...Helen x
Thank you so much for watching.
Hello
Thanks for watching.
It smells like cottonballs to me. 😒
Oh dear… well, some cotton balls can smell pretty good, right…?
