Episode 54 of Love At First Scent
This was a RU-vid Live broadcast streamed on Sunday 15 December 2019. Unscripted. Unedited. Unrehearsed.
In this special episode, I went through some of the fragrances on the first part of my list of the best perfumes of the decade 2010-19. You can read the list here: persolaise.com...
In the video, we sniffed:
- Frederic Malle Portrait Of A Lady (at the 9:30 minute mark)
- Ulrich Lang Apsu (at the 18:30 minute mark)
- Neela Vermeire Creations Trayee (at the 35:30 minute mark)
- Chanel Boy (at the 42:30 minute mark)
- Etat Libre D’Orange The Afternoon Of A Faun (at the 50:45 minute mark)
-
It feels odd writing a blotter update for these, but here goes:
- Portrait Of A Lady is just the most perfect incense-rose in its final stages, with musks holding the two notes in place for hours.
- Apsu manages to remain optimistic and serene... and it even retains some pepperiness.
- Trayee is now warm and enveloping: supple, creamy milk notes, cut through with spices and colourful florals.
- Boy’s emphasis is on the herbs: an interesting bitterness contrasting with the musks. Admirably elegant.
- The Faun is a dense forest - mosses, herbs, resins - enticing you to keep delving further in...

You are a Fragrance Savant. I’m fortunate to have found your channel. Thank for the personal and professional knowledge.

@Persolaise 2 года назад

You’re too kind - thank YOU for watching.

Hi Mr.P! Rewatching your older videos everyday to accompany me during my commute. Interestingly, no matter how many times I've watched these videos, I still learn something new from you. Can't wait to watch you Live again.

@Persolaise 2 года назад

That’s very kind of you. I hope to be able to broadcast a video very soon.

POAL is, to my mind, best described simply as an act of sublime perfumery. My No1 scent, was mesmerised from first sniff, no more need be said.....

@Persolaise 4 года назад

We are in total agreement 😊 Thanks very much for watching.

This is quite an undertaking, Persolaise, and I'm glad it's you and not me choosing! Malle's Portrait of a Lady is one of my favorites and I adore Trayee and Galop too. I would have to include the unusual Vero Parfumo Naja (which of course brings Onda to mind for a place on the list.) Enjoying your critiques here and on your blog and looking forward to the next sections!

@Persolaise 4 года назад

Thanks so much for watching. Onda is pre-2010, so doesn’t qualify. But Naja is eligible... 😉

Neela Vermeire’s scents are my most favorites-they are so joyful and full of depth. Bombay Bling makes me smile when I wear it and I’m getting ready for my next bottle.

@Persolaise 4 года назад

Yes, they’re all terrifically detailed and compelling. Thanks very much for watching.

I've been looking for a "florist shop" fragrance for ten years, apsu sounds like it could transport that flair I have in mind! Great selection of scents, Candy came as a bit of a surprise though. Definitely need to reinvestigate after reading about it on your blog. My personal favourite of the 2010s is actually a flanker - Shalimar parfum initial by Guerlain.

@Persolaise 4 года назад

I wouldn’t say Apsu spells ‘florist’ but do check it out anyway. As for Candy, I like the fact that it’s a sugar bomb with brains. I seem to remember being quite taken with that Shalimar flanker, but it didn’t last long, did it? Thanks very much for watching.

@FabiWe91 4 года назад

@@Persolaise I ordered a sample of Apsu due to your review. I really enjoy it, it evokes leaves and nature so perfectly. This is probably how people experienced Vent Vert in the 1940s.

@Persolaise 4 года назад

Fabi W Wonderful, thank you for letting me know. And yes, you may well be right with your VV comparison 😊

@@Persolaise No I actually betook myself to Angela Flanders intending to catch your presentation of it, but missed it by 15 minutes (bloody traffic!). I were nearly in tears I were. Angela was with us then and she felt so sorry for me she gave me a heaping sample of a fragrance of my choice to take home. 😢 RIP, Angie.

For my tastes I prefer Malle's Une Rose to POAL. Happy new year.

@Persolaise 4 года назад

Fair enough. I love Une Rose too 😊

@Curdle7 4 года назад

I’ve never tried portrait of a lady. I should though I’m looking for a good patchouli. The only Malle I’ve tried is French lover which was really really great

@Persolaise 4 года назад

I’d say you should really try to smell Portrait, although it’s much more about rose than patchouli.

@jk6215 4 года назад

Clearly I'm quite late to the game here, but had to ask ~ Regarding POAL; Why not Une Rose? I don't question your taste of even your choice, but rather just literally wondering what is it that makes POAL so superior? I have not yet been able to try the Maille line! (Yes, I know, coming out from under my rock breifly!) Thank you for your channel, I always find your perfume conversations fascinating.

@Persolaise 4 года назад

Well, when you write a comment as friendly as that, you can question absolutely anything you like 😊 Why POAL and not Une Rose? That’s a very fair question, and I suppose much of the answer comes down to personal taste. I just prefer Portrait to Une Rose. But to try to give you something more substantial... Une Rose is closer to soliflore territory, and so maybe it’s a bit more predictable, a bit less surprising. It is a superb perfume, no doubt about it. But Portrait is so dramatic, so moving, so distinctive. It’s in a league of its own, I feel.

@jk6215 4 года назад

@@Persolaise Thank you for your lovely reply. I have not smelled either one! (yet!) :) Loving your channel and will continue to explore my love of perfume along with you. Will be back to let you know what I think when I do finally try them both!

I really want to try poal. What type of rose is it powdery/juicy/jammy?

@Persolaise 4 года назад

Thanks very much for watching 😊 It’s a very strong, Turkish rose, with woody and incense notes emphasised.

@dhruvmini01 4 года назад

I always felt that Hermes sur le toit reminded me of a banana leaf. Have you smelled that one?

@Persolaise 4 года назад

Hmmm, interesting. Maybe the greenness of the apple peel is close to banana leaf. Thanks for watching 😊
