Blockade and Double Attack are fantastic frags. I love them. Honestly beween the two of them, you cover daytime and summer, with evening and cooler times of year with both. I gotta get my nose on the new stuff.
Thanks for the review Sebastian! Last week I attended an event at my local Neiman Marcus, and the Creative Director of the house was there debuting and talking about the scents and their inspirations. Such a wonderful experience. My favorites are Vieri, Sissa, Queening, French Defense, and En Prise. Queening is very reminiscent of Celine Black Tie if you tone down the powdery-ness and up the sweetness of the vanilla. Definitely a must have imo. Would’ve got the set, but was told you’d be able to buy sets of any 3 fragrances of your choosing from this Soulmate Collection as well as individual bottles eventually. All the atomizers are refillable if anyone is on the fence! Definitely worth checking out
Checkmate and Grandmaster are my two favorites. I also love and own J'Adoube. Caissa is beautiful for a woman. I don't want to smell like that but its a very beautiful scent.
Just watched this after commenting on your Vanilla best of 2023 video asking about Sissa. French Defense is my favorite in this collection with the black cherry. I tried mixing it with Sissa and it came out amazing, give it a shot.
Hi! Sebastian! My Neimans SA asked me to come in to sniff the new collection! I can’t wait! As far as last year’s fragrances, I love Double attack and for the summer Blockade! Great video!
Can’t for more reviews on these forward sounds amazing definitely pulling trigger on blockade just from initial reactions of reviewers hope it’s amazing!
Just tried Gambit, En Pris, Double Attack, and French Defense. Gambit is a powerhouse, grown man everyday fragrance that is up there with Savauge and YSL Edp in terms of mass appeal likeability so I will be grabbing it because no one will smell like me with it on. En Pris and Double Attack are great but know lasting power. French defense would be a nice one to throw people off and make a statement on a date, only for dates.💯💨
Vireri, Sans Voir and En Prise are my favorites. Leonora reminded me of a jungle scented bubble bath soap I had as a child. Prob the same nostalgic moment you had. :)
I own Scholars Mate and I think is very underrated between the community who likes Mind Games. Gardez is also in my collection and I have it because is very interesting ( not to wear tho ). From this collection Queening and The Forwards seems nice.
Okay so I just heard you say WOW! Just like that to the Foward so it must be a WOW! Fragrance I would imagine it would be like those fragrances that you’ve smell in the air and never got to ask what it was and you regret it forever and never found out so I should get it first then blockade then j’adoube??? Please help haha 😂😂😂😊
Dang, that's a big drop. They aren't playing around. I've only tried Checkmate so far but have samples of Grand Master and J'adoube coming. I still want to try Blockade because people seem to really like it. Of these new ones, I think I'd be most interested in French Defense because I love cherry and Queening because I love iris. I will have to check these out. Thank you for sharing!
A boutique in my city has recently added the original collection from the brand and I'm looking forward to going there to smell through them. It may be awhile before the soulmate collection hits here.
Love this house. I have J’Adoube, Gardez, Caissa, As-Asuli’s Diamond and on the way Castling. I know I have a fever but personally I love Gardez - the popcorn drives me …and Castling I love but it is J’Adoube that I really get “the attention” from others. So what do you think I ought to go for? 😊
Just looked up an old video of yours to get your take on a Fragrance intriguing me: Imaginary Authors' The Soft Lawn. I'm pretty sure I want it for next summer!
I haven’t tried anything from this house, but it sounds very interesting. So many houses, so little money to purchase any. Nice video though Sebastian.
i like many of their fragrances , ordered from them once , my bottles lid came damaged very very slightly came bent/tilted still functions soo i didnt return it , im going to pass too pricey for me especially after my incident! unless there is a major sale pref 20% or 30% off
I got to try this today at Neiman Marcus. Queening at Lionora are absolutely to die for, I mean eyes roll back in your head good. That price point though! Ouch. $375.
Didn’t think I’d be into cherry fragrance especially after Cherry Punk 🤢 Smelled exactly like horrible cherry cough syrup.l that had a sharp bite to my nose. French Defense, however, stole my nose and I’m definitely getting a generous decant. Oh my it smells SO good 😋
I would love to own a fragrance from this house but the prices are insane! No 50ml bottles and 375usd + 61usd + taxes, it will be over 600usd to get 1 fragrance in EU. There are here no resellers of this brand so for an unknown new brand its def pushing its limits
I liked some of their last offerings but I don't think they are extract as they say because the ones I have I don't get 4 hours out of them. I have Blockade and Checkmate.
Not sure about this company seem very overpriced & you still can't buy them anywhere in the uk. I sent them a few emails & they finally replied staring they have no plans to ever sell their fragrances in the uk. Strange company
