This one is right up there with Coromandel and Cuir de Russie for me. Super Dacob's Channel: / watchsuperdacob Want to know more about Chanel and her colors? • The Colors - Inside CH...
You've given me a great idea on how to spend my birthday! I will visit the only Chanel Exclusives range in Scotland based within House of Fraser in Glasgow and wile away the hours exploring the fragrances there before I decide which to purchase...heaven! Just found your channel and love it :)
Lanier, your unboxing, reviews are just amazing and so very interesting. I really do love them...they're very relaxing...and very enjoyable ! Thank you !
I'm half way through The Allure of Chanel and loving it. Thank you for the recommendation! Also, I'm hooked on a number of Chanel fragrances besides No. 5 and No. 19. Thank you for another wonderful review, Lanier!
+Loann Nguyen Oh Loann I am thrilled you are enjoying the book. When it comes to beautiful fragrances made with great care and detail...you can't beat Chanel.
LUV the review! You help me relax. :) When I know I'll be in SF, I'll definitely check with you beforehand if there is an event at that time. Cheers! ;)
Hi beautiful man. Yeh a Chanel unboxing. Love a Bellini . I have Beige in my perfume collection. I love how they wrap purchases from Chanel. Than you for talking and reviewing this gorgeous scent.
Ada Solly Styling Ada darling ! I will be back soon. Yes I love the whole Chanel experience. If you ever get to San Francisco you will love our Chanel Boutique. And Beige is.... amazingly lush, rich and beautiful. Cheers luv!
your reviews are not just a description of a fragrance, but the total package: the back story, the setup, the ambiance. vous m'etonnez chaque fois que je regarde une de vos revues, Lanier!
Great video. I so enjoy watching you. I used to work for Chanel on 57th st, but now I live in London. I have a picture of me sitting on a desk in Coco Chanel's replica apartment that was at the top. Good times! I used to wear Bois Des Iles, but these days I wear Portrait of a Lady. if you are ever in London, we must have a Bellini in Mayfair! Best wishes, Marlo
Awkward Bitch, by Marlo Donato Marlo Darling I want stories and lots of them! And yes if I get back to London you have a date for Bellini's in Mayfair. Or better yet, a Vesper Martini at the bar at Duke's Hotel. Cheers luv!
That 60s music you were playing near the beginning is one of my favorites from that era. :-) I have a sample of Beige, will look for it and wear it again soon.
Dear Lanier, this is my favorite thus far with chanel from the three i have tried! thank you for sharing the ingredients and history! i picture wearing this perfume-- dressed smart in all black, fuchsia lipstick, and a classic BEIGE medium flap bag. :) Lovely video once again.xoxoxox
Oh gosh I also bought the parfum of the Beige at the same time as the gardenia, they are my favorite of the les exclusifs of de chanel so far ! I never made it to the Boutique in San Francisco before only in Vegas, the other Boutiques have mailed me stuff in the past !
+Daniel Le I really love Gardenia too! I am so happy Daniel that you are a fan of Les Exclusifs the whole line is amazing (not all of them work for me but I appreciate their beauty)
wagsbass Yes I think so too. A traditional Bellini is made with peach juice... I was out of that and just happened to have Papaya...so I just dove right into it! LOL.
Dear Lanier! Thank you for the lovely shoutout! You will love "the allure of chanel! I am sure! It is a little piece of CHANEL myth treasure! Beige is the color Coco would "hide" in ;) - (that was a little secret code hint for you...)... off we go on a treasure hunt...
Hey, I had a champagne and mimosa breakfast while at Virginia Beach over the weekend. It's not quite bourbon followed with a beer chaser, but they were both complimentary with breakfast..so what what the heck! Anyway, I enjoyed the review and learning a few things about this fragrances.
Jim R Oh...Bourbon with a beer chaser sounds pretty good? What is that drink where they drop a shot glass of Whiskey into a mug of beer? A Boilermaker? I should do one of those for the channel some day. Now to find the right cologne to go with it....hummm. Old Spice??Thanks Jim... I am learning a lot too!
Yep, it's a Boilermaker. I'm actually not much of a drinker and usually stop at one or two. C'est la vie! Just out of curiosity, have you ever tried D'Orsay Le Dandy?
Hi Lanier, my name is Tammy. Every time I have purchased a fragrance that you love, I win. It seems as you and I have very similar tastes in fragrance. Your videos are very informative and enjoyable
This is my favorite chanel fragrance! Better than No5 and better than Coco. I have the big bottle and this is just amazing. Am I a horrible person that I think it’s better than no 5? I love no 5 but Beige is just beautiful! Haha
No you are not horrible, not in the least. Beige is something truly special. A perfume that I would take to a desert island...along with No.5! Cheers Nick.
Oh you are getting the full collection! How perfect, what heaven! Love the setup today... gosh she looks grumpy (did I just blaspheme? Forgive me for I have sinned.) The details just make the Chanel experience! Lovely lovely review Lanier x
Natalee Patel No sin at all luv. Yes Coco does looks grumpy, probably because she gave her perfume empire away. You know the story... and if you don't go check out Dacob's channel. Hugs sweetie.
Jim B. a really good one is "the Screret of Chanel No.5: The Intimate History of the World's Most Famous Perfume" by Tilar J. Mazzio. and I enjoyed, "Chanel, A Woman of Her Own" By Axel Madsen. I am currently reading her own book, The Allure of Chanel (co-written by Paul Morand with Illustrations by Karl Lagerfeld. And I highly recomend the film Coco Avant Chanel ( Coco Before Chanel) staring Audrey Tautou ~ The best film on her life.
I don't believe I have ever had a Bellini. I must amend that asap as I love the painter and composer. Why wouldn't I enjoy the drink as well! Oh your channel is such an education! Yet one can only keep so much perfume! Eventually, it looses its bloom! What to do? I do wish they would sell tiny bottles, so one could buy a dozen or more different fragrances and enjoy the variety without worrying about the purchase price being wasted! I have a YSL L'Homme at the moment which is in worrying condition. I think it is about to say au revoir to me! Weep! Weep! Regards from Melbourne. Daniel.
+Daniel Hammond Keep them in their boxes in a dark cool place (even a refrigerator!} and they can last for years...sometimes decades if they are well made. Cheers to you down in lovely Melbourne.
bhaffar Cheers bhaffar! Yes I ahve smelled it. It is a very classic Eau De Cologne and very well done. It is nothing spectacular but is you want to spend the money for Chanel's version of the old school classic then by all means you should!
Lanier Smith Thanks for the response. I had read that it smells similar to 4711 and if that's the case I can't justify paying the Chanel price but I still wouldn't mind sampling it sometime.
ok uncle lanier, some advice if you please. It's my wedding anniversary next month, and I would be grateful if I could get your opinion on some channel products. Channel Allure sensuelle Eau De parfum, Channel No19 Eau de Parfum, Channel No19 Poudre.I look forward to hearing your comments. kind regards. And as always an interesting and informative review.
Of the three I would go with the very green very spring and summery No.19 from 1970 named after Coco Chanel's birthday. It was made especially for her and the last perfume to be made under her watchful eye and nose. If you can afford it I would get the pure parfum. It is even more spectacular. But only if you can spend that money with ease. I don't want you breaking the piggy bank on my suggestion. Let me know how it goes. Does Mrs. T like green fragrances that smell like summer grass in Saint James Park in London? (with Iris and oak moss and red roses in the distance?)
