I love florals the only vintage fragrances I can enjoy is poeme by Lancôme and Amariage by givenchy, and the the original Carolina herrrera , organza ❤😊 but I also modern florals like the new jadore L’or 2024 release it’s so lovely
Yvresse is my mother’s favorite fragrance. She used to wear it for weddings, nights out, etc (it was either Yvresse or Rive Gauche actually). I remember it from when it was called Champagne. And I still remember the exact day we learned its name had changed. It was on a vacation in Tunisia. My father wanted to offer a new bottle of Champagne to my mother, and the lady in the shop told us it was now called Yvresse because of legal reasons 🙂
U are 1000% correct. There are no elegant perfumes anymore but the ones from yester year. Why is that?! This is why I’m going backwards with my purchases because the majority now is sweet, masculine not that many that are memorable except for Chanel coco Mademoiselle, Alien, Angel, Delina. Delina is the more newer just a few years but it’s beautiful
Indeed! Perfumes of yesteryear are the epitome of elegance. Of course, there are many gorgeous new releases as well but they tend to get lost in the sea of generic fragrances. I love Coco Mademoiselle! Thank you for watching!🙂
Thank you for your beautiful reviews..I wore Ysatis and Anais Anais in the 1980s and 1990s...my other favorites of that era were Lauren by Ralph Lauren and YSL Paris ( the 1983 version)...all so classy and elegant
You’re very welcome. I’m so happy to hear that you’re enjoying my videos. Paris is beautiful! I used up a small 30ml vintage bottle from the 90s. As you said, elegance in a bottle.🙂
I had a bottle of the newer J’adore and gave it away because the scent didn’t work for my body chemistry. However, I recently “discovered” 5th Avenue by Elizabeth Arden. I own many niche fragrances that are quite expensive, but the 5th Avenue is affordable and my favorite! It’s such an elegant ladylike fragrance with my body chemistry. I purchased a backup bottle for the future 😀
Hi there. I’m sorry that the new J’Adore didn’t work out for you. I don’t dislike it. I think it’s somewhat nice but the 2017 version is a completely different fragrance. EA 5th Avenue is such a beautiful fresh floral scent! To me, it smells like linden blossom. Thanks for watching!🙂
@@lukeparfums your channel has gotten me to check out the fragrances of the past - before everything became exorbitant in price. Thank you for your channel!
I was visiting my mother recently and found my own abandoned bottle of YSL Champagne that I bought when it was released. I think that I went through a bottle and repurchased this scent. I must have left it behind when I moved out. It probably has 10 mls left in the bottle and still smells fantastic. I just sprayed some on. What a find! Thanks for your video!
Oh wow! What a story. That’s awesome, almost like discovering a hidden treasure. I’m glad it’s held up well. My 1996 bottle was still sealed when I got it. Enjoy your Champagne! Thanks for watching!🙂
Hi Luke. I didn’t like White Linen from Estée Lauder, and gave a full bottle a few years back to Goodwill. I do like Anais, Anais, and I have a Jovan bottle of it with a dupe scent of it. Take Care. 😊
Hi Luke. I like Ysatis. I have two bottles of Joan Collins vintage perfumes with the name of Spectacular. I had first a mini bottle of it, and then I found bigger bottles of the EDT and the EDP. The bottles themselves are beautiful. It is pretty hard to find so I am glad I found them. Take Care. 😊
One of the most remarkable things I'd ever bought was Crabtree and Evelyn Rosewater Eau de Parfum. It was unbelievable. Marks and Spencer do a rose Eau de Toilette that's a steal for the quality but I miss Crabtree! Lovely collection and beautiful voice!
Hi Claire! Isn't it funny? Amarige = Mariage. They were aiming for a bridal scent but ended up creating one of the most iconic 90s fragrances of all time.😁
You have named some beautiful fragrances. I have had the original Jadore and Amarige. The first fragrance I bought for myself was the Ysatis at 19 years old the sales representative recommended it and I fell in love with it and always received compliments. I love the original Tiffany. I received my first bottle as a gift at age 21. Along with Lauren by Ralph Lauren. They have made several new Tiffany perfumes and I don't care for any of them. I have a bottle of Cinema by YSL I bought at a vintage perfume shop in Phoenix several years ago and I wear it occasionally. I am also a fan of many Estee Lauder scents particularly Private Collection and Spellbound. Older men usually compliment me on those scents. Very few men my age (50) enjoy vintage scents.
Hello there! That’s awesome. These are some amazing fragrances. I love SpellBound too, and Cinnabar! I owned a vintage bottle of Cinema, it was gorgeous. Not many people compliment others on vintage fragrances nowadays, do they? Thanks for watching!🙂
I bought Champagne in extrait for my mum when it was first released. I remember it cost me about £50 for 7.5ml and in those days that was expensive, especially as I was just a kid and it was a considerable purchase. The current version is really nothing like the 90s version. I still have an old bottle and the one in the cube sold as Yvresse is very different. If you like fruity florals with a vague chypre angle, the current one may appeal but the original is a classic fruity chypre. The original was a masterpiece
Hi there. That was a lot of money back then for sure. I agree with you; the chypre aspect of the scent is what makes it special. Yvresse is an absolute masterpiece! There aren’t many classic fruity chypres that are elegant. Thanks for watching!🙂
Unfortunately, there’s always that risk with buying vintage bottles. I got my Yvresse some years ago when it was still relatively affordable on eBay. I scored a vintage bottle from 1996. These days, the prices are in the hundreds!🙂
Hi Luke. I have a dupe of Jadore. The bottle is the same, and it smells similar. The name is French, and it is Je’Tem (I think that is how it spells. I am lazy to go look how it is spelled, but I think it is close. 😊
Can you do women’s vintage perfumes only available in Europe. My stepmother used to wear one my dad used to buy it for her and it smelled amazing on her but not on anyone else. She was English really into vintage boujee fashion. I cannot find it at all. I think it was from Paris. But it was a power house floral not just anybody could pull off. Time frame when he bought it was very early 2000s prob made prior until they passed in 2009.
All of the ones mentioned are available in Europe. I wish I could help you, but there’s so many vintage perfumed like that. You’ll need a bit more information. Thanks for watching.🙂
By the way modern samsara is same from frosted bee bottle to inverted heart bottle. I've read that the formula numbers are same. It's just a bottle design change that they do every decade or so. Hope you can find vintage samsara for great price 😌
Oh, thank you so much for sharing this information. I like the juice in the bee bottle. Of course it’s not as good as the vintage but it’s better than nothing.
Hello there…😂 I never notice the mint in Yvresse…..is it prominent? You described me with Ysatis….big hair, shoulder pads….😂😂😂😂😂😂 My Chanel fragrances are my most elegant. I do really enjoy the powerhouses!😁That’s when I reach for perfumes like Ysatis and others. 😉 The only fragrance I don’t think I’ll ever try is Eden. I don’t think it’s for me…in any way!😳 I’m still mourning J’Adore 😢 Another great video!💛💛💛
Hi Leah! No, I don’t think so. I don’t pick up any mint in Yvresse. You’ definitely seem the kind of lady who can rock Ysatis! It makes such a statement that it can end up wearing you… That never happens to me with Poison. Believe it or not, I had Eden… I’m not a fan of it anymore. Thanks for watching!🙂💕
Hi! How are you? I'm very excited to find a channel like yours. I love the way you talk about perfumes. Could I recommend you a specific perfume? It is call Sirene by Vicky Tiel. Do you know it? It is a beautiful perfume, it is not easy to find this perfume in my Country. But I think you can find it easily. It is a vintage perfume. Have a nice day. Wish you the best! Ps: if I made a mistake writing, please forgive me. English is not my mother language. 😅
Hi there! I’m doing well, thanks. You’re welcome to recommend me anything. I have heard of this fragrance before.🙂 Don’t worry, you’re English is great. Thanks for watching!🙂
Hi Luke, thank you so much for another great video, really like your beautiful reviews. I love, love ALLURE, all variaties, and also n° 5. SOTD is Lancome's MIRACLE. I owned a bottle in the eighties and I rediscovered it. Perhaps it can replace Estee Lauder's PURE WHITE LINEN. Unfortunately this is discontinued. Do you know Y de YSL? I owned it back in the days and I have a sample now. I love it but I haven't found a review on YT on ths scent.
Hi Lidy, you’re most welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Lancome Miracle is another amazing scent. Do you find it similar to Pure White Linen? YSL Y is another forgotten hidden gem… I wish I could smell it. Is it discontinued? Thanks for watching!🙂
Hi Luke, Lancome Miracle is not quite simular to PWL, wich is an elegant floral summer scent. Although Miracle is also a lovely, fresh and light scent. In my opnion Estee Lauder Pleasures is more simular to PWL but unfortunately it disappeares within an hour on my skin. Ysl Y is not discontinued but not avalaible where I live, so I'm careful on my sample. And, not surprising, the bottles have changed.
I tried Miracle… but I don’t really remember how it smells. I remember liking it. Thanks for enlightening me. I’ll look into YSL Y. I wonder if the new formula still smells good.🙂
Tosca was my grandma's perfume too. I will always love it. Have you smelt Nonchalance from the same brand? It is another aldehydic floral gem. It is closer to No5 than Tosca the way I perceive it.
That’s awesome! My grandma was born in Yugoslavia and at the time there weren’t many Western fragrances available. Women wore 4711 or Tosca; men wore aftershave. I’m so happy to find out that other people enjoy Tosca too; it seems that most people don’t even know about it which is a shame because it’s so cheap but so good. No, I haven’t tried Nonchalance. I didn’t know the brand made other scents. Thanks for watching!🙂
@@lukeparfums my grandma probably had the exact same choices after the war! I love that these classics are still around. Tabac is the aldehydic woody- spicy perfume from the house.(Maurer und Wirtz) And in case you come across Nonchalance I recommend the edp. It is just as affordable as Tosca is. And, my goodness, I just realised that Tosca is from 1921!!! Was No5 before it then ? Who cares, as there were aldehydic florals ever since Floramye and Rêve d'Or, and who knows maybe even earlier.
I’ve seen Tabac in many shops. I didn’t realise it was by M&W. I though it was an aftershave but apparently they make several different versions. I’m curious to smell Nonchalance. Thanks for recommending it.🙂
How do you say J’adore l’Or compares to J’adore? I’ve never been a huge fan of J’adore. I find it nice, but forgettable…Sorry for the multiple comments, I should probably finish watching the video before spamming you, haha!
No worries, comment as many times as you want.🙂 I’m not a fan of the original J’Adore either and I’d say they’re not even similar, that is J’Adore EdP and J’Adore L’Or 2017 (not the 2023 version).
