Episode 26 of Love At First Scent
This was a Facebook Live broadcast streamed on Sunday 27th January 2019. Unscripted. Unedited. Unrehearsed.
The perfumes covered in this episode were:
- Gentle Fluidity Gold from Maison Francis Kurkdjian (at the start of the video)
- Alien Fusion from Mugler (at the 17:00 minute mark)
- Evolution from Kings (at the 32:00 minute mark)
- Gentle Fluidity Silver from Maison Francis Kurkdjian (at the 46:30 minute mark)
and the classic choice was
- Ambre Sultan from Serge Lutens (at the 37:00 minute mark)
---
Here's the blotter update:
- Gentle Fluidity Gold has turned out to be quite compelling: the amber in the base has taken on a lovely tea-sheesha aspect (not unlike Hermes' Ambre Narguile), lending the whole an air of graceful sophistication
- Alien Fusion is basically still good old Alien, with hints of a fizzy, spicy top note... about which I'm not complaining one bit
- Evolution has descended further into dullness and an unfortunate pit of sweatiness; not impressed
- Gentle Fluidity Silver leaves a good deal to be desired as well; I've actually been wearing it on skin since the end of the video, and I'm sorry to say that it feels as harsh and boorish as it did on paper; I'm sticking with Gold
- and, of course, Ambre Sultan remains majestic, impassioned and all-conquering
