Hello??? Are you there??? What would you call the musk that is in Narcisso Rodriguez for Her (black bottle) because that id the musk I want to bathe in. Calling all musks "musk" is ridiculous, to me... There should be a "skin musk" and a "laundry musk" and a "sensual musk" and a "B.O. musk" so that we all know what the feck kind of musk is in the non refundable fragrance we are getting ready to buy!!!
You make such great points, love this discussion. I’m wondering if our perception of what smells expensive is changing with time. I’ve been told that MFK BR 540 smells expensive. Since it’s a bit sweet and unusual smelling (compared to what was on the market before, not anymore these days maybe), it doesn’t really fit the traditional category of “expensive” scents. What do you think?
Dossier makes a dupe for BR540 that’s very close (I tried both side by side on multiple occasions). Within the first couple of hours the sillage is extremely similar, tbh I wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. Smelling the blotter/my arm after application I can tell, though. It’s a good dupe but it’s missing the airiness of the original, and it is missing “the magic” secret sauce ingredient that makes the difference between “I like this!” And “I’m mesmerized and enchanted and I want it forever”. For that reason, and because I truly respect the artistry, talent, and $$$ that goes into making and marketing a luxury fragrance I’m going to keep buying the original 😊
Just found your channel (and subscribed!) Thank you for pointing out the longevity factor for signature fragrances. Growing up in the 90s it seemed every EDP was beast mode, but that’s not the case anymore! Is it due to change it taste I.e. leaving behind those notes that made the fragrances last? Does it have to do with reformulations due to changing regulations from IFRA? Cost savings? Would love to hear your point of view.
Any advice for a girl with thick hair? I always wear my hair down and spray my perfume behind my neck. But i worry that my hair is too thick for the fragrance to be noticeable.
When I was a kid in the 80s, my grandma got us Stetson cologne from Walmart every Christmas. Now I have around 600 different bottles. Granny made a monster
What are your / anyone’s thoughts on spraying on your stomach and then getting in your car and wearing your seatbelt? I like to put on my fragrances before I leave the house, but am I crushing it with the seatbelt? Should I just wait till I get wherever I’m going before spraying?
I love aquatic fragrances, but I think good ones are hard to find. I think Bal d'Afrique by Byredo smells a lot like Un Jardin Sur Le Nil by Hermès, I like both, and would like to purchase one, have you smelled them side by side?
I can tell that most fragrance reviewers don't get out where plants are growing much because ferns are one of the strongest smelling plants in nature. This is a perfect example of how when a lie gets repeated over and over eventually those that choose to be uninformed believe it is the truth.
Great review. Love it. I like the smell of Diptyque Tam Dao, but for me the Performance is really Bad. I smell it only 40 minutes to 1 hour on my Clothes and 1 hour on my Skin :( I ordered the EdP and I Hope it will last longer 😊
Hello, Ashley! I hope all is well with you. I’m looking forward to new videos from you and updates on your work in the perfume industry. Take good care! 😃
Pour Monsieur is so unique. It has a really unusual aspect. It envelops you in this elegant citrus cloud and that little cloud lingers all day. It doesn’t project more than a foot or so but it’s there all day…an amazing summer citrus that is my summer signature scent.
I have ONLY smelled Narcisso Rodriguez for her EDT (black bottle) and THAT is what I want when I talk about Musk fragrances!! It seem as though every other musk fragrance smells like laundry detergent or JLO Glow-esque musk (which I'd refer to as White Musk.) How can I find fragrances with Narcisso Rodriguez for Her type of musk?? Is there a name for it?? Is it a certain "musk molecule"?? Please help...I'm very tired of fabric softener scented "musk."
I spray my shoulders, and make an X in chest-abs. Then I spray my forearms and behind the ears. You say behind the ears is not a good idea and I think you are right cause it’s not a good projection spot.
My first perfume love and signature scent was Halloween by Jesus del Pozo ❤. I few years latter, I discovered Light Blue by Dolce and Gabbana and that became my signature scenr for sooo many years 🍋🍏 Now I don't use LB since it is not cruelty free and currently I don't have a signature scent.
How is no one talking about the Elon musk thumbnail lol. Great recs but my #1 musk rec would be Orto parisi bergamask! I suppose that one’s equally a citrus though
Pour monsieur & Eau Savage are my top 2 all time favourites 😁 Just a shame modern formulations fall short of the originals. Really enjoyed the video, great job
I have been scared to pieces to layer until recently when I accidentally (while out fragrance shopping) found a combination that I have later realized was a combination I fell in love with and each by itself was only mediocre . Go figure
Wow, now I know why I like you. I own Grey Flannel, Zino, Caron, Encre Noire A L'Extreme, and Bentley Infinite. Plan to purchase Bentley Intense as well. All are amazing 👏 thank you for your opinion. Classic never goes out of style.
