For those who have been missing the perfume content, hopefully this satisfies a craving! 😉 What do you wear when you are seeking comfort?
Amarige from Givenchy 🙂 , I think it's not sold anymore but I have my half bottle. I use it even to help myself sleep 😬
Lovely video Cherie. My favourite calming fragrances are Scarlet Poppy from Jo Malone, Virgile by Sylvaine Delacourte, Rose Cherie Guerlain, L'Heure Bleu Guerlain. And just recently discovered Heures D'absence from Louis vuitton. 👌
I've always wanted to try Tolu. I've nearly blind bought it so many times but keep stopping myself. It does sound like something i would love
Laura Mercier Ambre Vanille (body cream) paired with SDV or Kayali Vanilla 28! I love comforting scents so they make up the majority of my wardrobe
That is my favourite moment of every day - snuggling into bed.
Oh Ormonde Jayne so beautiful. I bought Ormonde Women because of you. Thank you for recommendations.
Thanks for being here! X
I’m currently wearing Vol de Nuit as I get ready for bed. There’s a lot going on, yet it’s subtle and blended seamlessly. I love it.
It’s so beautiful and classic.
Enjoyed your choices, Cherie. Vanilla always comforts me so I would choose anything with that note.
Hello lovely Cherie. Thank you for gathering this thoughtful list. It is perfect for this time in the world, and this time of year. Mostly thank you for your Shunkoin review. I’ve thought of purchasing it many times as my best and most beloved fragrance is Cuir Beluga, and it is sometimes linked to it. 😊
Woke up and first thing I saw today. What a great way to start the day. Thank you Cherie. Loved your description of our Lost Wonderer but even more loved that smile with glint in your eyes. Really happy to hear you’re enjoying it so much. ((Hugs)) ♥️
Am now further in and hear that you actually mention me in the video too! I feel exactly the same way as you about Infusion d’iris, it’s a perfect bedtime scent, the smell of clean, soft cotton bedding 🙂👌🏻
Agreed about some of those edts. Too much punch can be overwhelming at times. And that Lutens always reminds me of the winter holidays. 😊 So yeah, comforting indeed!
I love how you describe the way each fragrance feels and the imagery it provokes over just describing the notes.
Thank you!!
For some reason the Amarige perfume brings me peace. Reminds me of family reunions, aunts, kisses, hugs, nice catering. I had it hidden in my closet because for others it smells "old", but after some years I brought it out I simply love it 😭.
Love what you love - and that’s a wonderful scent association you have! ❤️
It was so pleasant to listen to you❤
Thank you so much for this relaxing moments ❤🤗
Thanks lovely x
I loved this video! I've been toying with getting a bottle of the Prada Infusion d'Iris for a while now. But I love the sound of Vol du Nuit and as a cat lover also want to test Bengale Rouge. My comforting scent is Aromatherapy Associates' Deep Relax which I spray on my pillow before sleeping.
A lovely video and unique take on comforting smells. Really enjoyed this one even if you and I are polar opposite when it comes to likes in smells. You know your voice is actually comforting in the background. You sound to me like a soothing massage therapist in a very fancy nice smelling spa.
Haha thank you! 🤗
Love this and the hair!
Thanks Charly! Xx
Great list Cherie, so many fragrances I haven't seen mentioned before. My latest love is Muschio Oro by Santa Maria Novella. It's a vintage musky scent that's comforting and sensual. Funny enough, not that they smell the same but it gave me the same feeling as Poeme By Lancome, a familiar warm embrace type of scent.
Poeme is my SOTD today - I like the sound of that SM novella - there’s a few from their line that I enjoy!
I loved this, thank you Cherie. When I’m in need of comfort I gravitate towards gourmands with milky notes like Bianco Latte (Giardini di Toscana), Lattedoro (Gabriella Chieffo) or green fragrances like L’Ombre dans l’eau (Diptyque), Pergola (Exaltatum), Arborist (Jorum) this one is woody and reminds me of a silent forest.
Thank you for this review of your comfort fragrences I love ❤️ tabbacco fragrences in the winter months 🍂 my favourite tabbacco fragrence smell is Scandinavian pipe tabbacco 💋👌
Oh my goodness! I was just casually watching, opened your description box then saw my name! Thank you so much for the kind mention Cherie, that’s made my day 🙏🏻😊
Ines your Instagram page is the very definition of escape for me ❤️
One of my most favourite comfort scents is Jasmin Antique by Rogue Perfumery. The most stunning and photorealistic jasmine I’ve ever encountered. Jasmine was my late mother’s favourite scent. Our family used to go for an evening walk in our little country town in the Summer in the early/mid 80’s after dinner and mum would always stop with us to inhale the heady jasmine aroma blooming in the gardens. So I bought the beautiful Jasmin Antique to remind me of my dear Mum, whom I miss every day. 🥰 I also love Mitsouko edp, L’Heure Bleue and both Samsara and Shalimar extraits. Love the bokeh from the fairy lights…so pretty. ✨✨✨
Jasmin Antique is gorgeous. My fave from Rogue is Tuberose & Moss. Perhaps I should do an updated video with this topic, there have definitely been some changes!
Love it! So many beautiful recommendations ❤
Thank you!
Any favourites in this category you recommend?
@@TheTopNote Mémoire d'une Odeur is great! I also really enjoy EA White Tea, M. Micallef's Made in Grasse 06130 pour Femme, Musc by Reminiscence and Pièce Unique by Grès for comfort. I don't think our tastes intersect an awful lot overall 😅 but I love your vibe and find a lot of fragrances here that I otherwise wouldn't have heard about ❤️
Really enjoyed this and feel the same about so many of these fragrances. Not sure if you’ve tried the Amande version of Prada’s Infusion d’Iris but it’s even more soothing at bedtime. I also love sandalwood and vanilla scents for comfort - layering diptyque eau duelle with tam Dao is one of my favorite combos. I’m feeling more relaxed after just watching this and thinking about it. Thank you for sharing. ♥️
Thank you for your kind words! I have not tried that version of the Prada but sounds right up my alley!
Iris is one of the most calming notes for me!
I'm glad you included quite a few classic and vintage fragrances -- ones that I have in my collection, so I can explore them as comfort scents without buying more. Now if I could just find my bottle of Infusion d'Iris!
Yay! I’m glad this resonated with you, I love the older ones! Good luck with the search, but if you do ultimately have to replace the bottle, I recommend the big one haha
Loved this. Can you do one about fragrances to mark new beginnings - new job, new home, new relationship (business, personal, social) - a first impression but that indicates a big change or a new role.
Thank you - I love this idea!
You described this so well Cherie, there are many ways to be comforted or situations that comfort you. I think one main reason for me to wear perfume is to feel good aka comforted. So you could say all my scents give me some kind of comfort. But if I should mention one,maybe Gozo from Jeroboam. A very unusual perfume to me, it opens a bit artificial, like a hard sweet candy with powdered sugar and the wrapping is still there,and you smell it all. But a very good artificial I must say. Then it dries down,it gets a bit dusty and soapy. I get tuberose,patchouli and I guess a lot of other notes, but it is very good blended.
It also has a vintage feel, a bit like Madly from MariaLux. To me, this is comforting,sensual but also a bit intellectual perfume. Hmm, very bizarre description 😅😅😅 but I love it.
Thank you for the suggestion! I will try to hunt down a sample it sounds very interesting!
I loved this. I ordered Sandalwood Temple as a decant because of your very vocal and steadfast loyalty to it. The vetiver'n'wood combo almost smells a little benzoiny on me, like a second cousin twice removed of Affinessence's 'Vanille Benzoin'. I look forward to testing it further by wearing it more liberally on my person on a, say, a work day. Your description of how you use the criminally overlooked Shunkoin was almost identical to my relationship to it; a very special, meditative, comforting fragrance rather than ye olde olfactory accessory that I spritz on before stomping out to face the world. Lastly, L'Heure Bleue's marketing image/reputation as a pensive, melancholy very still yet solid fragrance: if I may, I'd like to suggest people experience Oriza L Legrand's 'Relique d'Amour'. By far the saddest thing I've ever smelled. Painfully miserable, agonising loneliness and profound melancholy. Dangerously evocative so perhaps a warning is necessary to all those about to spray it? 😅 Anyhow, your channel is terrific. Hope you have a super week ahead. 😊
I wanted so badly to get to the Oriza L Legrand boutique in Paris recently but I got sick and we didn't get there (I couldnt smell anything) - thank you for this suggestions, I am very keen to seek it out!
@@TheTopNote Also, I wonder if for the Brisbane climate you've tried wearing Columbine by Ciro, Suiren by Parfum Satori (the smell of hot summer skin in Italy or Provence, it's one of my all time favourite summer fragrances of all time) or Pontevecchio W by Nobile 1942? Memoire de Daisen by Ella K or Adameku by Di Ser?
It's heating up here in England and I find those really lovely options for hot weather-- nobody in frag com on RUclips ever mentions any of them and I do wonder why. PW somehow makes me interpret it as the airy, summery version of 1899 Moulin Rouge by Histoire de Parfums-- that same airy, iris'n'powder woody feel but with added citrus and more musk. But like your schnoz in Paris, mine too recently stopped functioning after my second tussle with Covid so maybe I'm smelling something that doesn't exist for anybody else, ha! I'd LOVE to know if you can see where I'm coming from. PS= White Suede by Tom Ford is another one that gets ragged on but I spray it ritualistically at airport Duty Free before every flight I go on so it's a happy summer smell also. I'm catching up on your recent videos and really enjoying your uploads. Hope you have a great week ahead.
Thanks a million for such a nice theme today, this is a real treat! Today wearing Portrayal woman and feeling special. Wishing you a lovely week-end! ♥
🤗💗
You mentioned so many great fragrances, many of which I wear for sleep as well. Powdery sleep scents really work for me. I find Droll de Rose, Lipstick Rose or a even Narciso Poudree really lovely and comforting. I also sometimes use a lavender body oil that has a small tinge of honey. Plus, it is by Soap Cherie. The brand is your namesake. 😊
I"m curious if you've ever tried Keiko Mecheri Loukhoum? It's been a minute since it came out. I recently bought a sample out of curiosity because I wasn't into powder back in the day. I can't decide if I love it or maybe it's too sweet/too much.
This was a great idea! Thank you for the video. It was very enjoyable to watch.
Thanks Petunia! Haha I may have to check out that Soap Cherie - SURELY I have to own something from them?! Lol I have not tried Keiko but if it’s powdery then I’m interested. 😍
I am in NZ and on my journey to discover new perfumes. Your 'rambling' - funny how you underestimate yourself instantly made me subscribe to your channel. I am originally from Russia, but I also lived in Taiwan for a decade so I find your description of your comfy fragrances resonates with me, although I don't have exactly the same ones in my modest tiny collection. I do have lots of samples from different authentic shops. My favourite houses are surprisingly (or not actually so much for me, as I love Italy) are all Italian so far. I wear Pikovaya Dama by Xerjoff to bed for the same reason it makes me feel comfy and my new love is Psychedelic Love by Initio. I tried at least a dozen of each of those houses or something close to it, and they are my favourites for this particular reason. They make me calm.
Thank you for your kind words! I have not tried the Xerjoff but I do enjoy Psychedelic Love also x

Field of dreams with Kevin Costner. About a baseball field I think? Now I want to watch the movie again. Nice video, ty! My favorite version of Prada infusions D'iris is oiellet. Lovely powdery carnation. I love it.
Oh yes I think that might have been it! I just tried Oiellet the other week and loved it!
Your reaction to sniffing Sandlewood Temple is how I react when I sniff Eau d'Elide by Diptyque which is maybe my no.1 comfort scent. For me there's something about it that is so grounding and familiar, I'm not sure how or why, but I have an almost physical emotional response to this fragrance when I smell it and I absolutely adore it. I'd love a b/u bottle. My other choices are in line with your description of a comfort scent - something powdery, soft, cuddly or smooth and gentle. My 2 favourite bedtime scents are Ombre Rose cologne and Extatic Gold Musk by Pierre Balmain but I also like Mon Guerlain, Lavandes Trianon and Vanderbilt for bed too. Other comfort scents for me include Musc Eternel by Mizensir...one of the very few for which I have a b/u bottle...vintage Diorella which I find like a calming hand on my shoulder, and also Chant d'Aromes by Guerlain which is also smooth and gentle and calming. And one that I wear (not often) when I just want to feel cosy rather than calmed is Jovan's Secret Amber. It's quite smooth and sweetly ambery but fairly uncomplicated. I enjoyed listening to your explanations about your chosen list. 😊 And btw I agree with Vol de Nuit too...I don't grab it for comfort per se, but it is one that is quiet and is almost a little meditative and it's very beautiful, particularly the vintage.
Oh my gosh Naomi so many wonderful suggestions! And I have been listing after a Chant d’aromes ! I have it on my wishlist for next year!
@@TheTopNote After watching and commenting on your vid yesterday I decided I needed a squirt of both Diorella and Chant d'Aromes so I had some on each hand (I often wear multiple scents at once bc I can't decide lol). They are quite similar in many ways, with Chant d'Aromes being a tad soapier on my skin (something I don't usually go for). I have to say the vintage Diorella is a top notch classy fragrance, such an understated beauty but they're both lovely. Perhaps Santa will get you the Guerlain for Christmas? 🤩
Weeping rose sounds wonderful... my comfy scents are Dior Feve Delicious and Carner barcelona Rima Xl.
Ooh I will need to revisit my Rima XI sample!
Love you Cherie, thank you for posting this helpful video
Thanks for the support as always! X
I have never seen a video with so many perfumes I have never smelled and I own over 400 perfumes. I appreciate your vast knowledge and eclectic taste in niche perfumes. I do wish you would say something if the scent you are speaking about would be appropriate for men as well.
"The taste of 'wet-dog' ...chamomile". Funniest fragrance analogy, ever! Love your work, Cherie.
Lol
When you were talking about a field of grasses or wheat, I thought of Richard Gere in Days of Heaven. But it’s a bit dark, not really calming that movie 🤔

Uplift spirits and calm stomach when ill or blue

Comfort during times of grief/rememberance

Hey Susannah! Thanks and welcome! Ag so many great ones in that list. I have not tried the Jo Malone - but sounds lovely!
It is changing based on my mood, but what I am reaching for when looking for some relax are Black Vines from Kerosene, L'Attesa from Masque Milano and Rehab from Initio.
I have not tried Black Vines, I will have to go check it out! Thanks for sharing :) I love L'Atessa!
Cherie, I think that movie scene is from "Gladiator" with your fellow Aussie - Russel Crow 😁
Oh, I’d forgotten about that scene!
Hi! Would you recommend wearing Xerjoff Shun Koin for men? And what seasons would you recommend wearing it? Thank you
Yes definitely I think it would work on men! I personally wear it in the cooler months (Spring, Autumn and Winter) but that is because our summers are diabolically hot and humid.
I love your chanel
Thank you so much, this means a lot 🙏💗
Mine are D'iris, Ambraliquida, Chergui, Amarige & Samsara... 💘
Ahhhh all so good!
I recently found a vintage mini parfum of Chloe Narcisse at a thrift store and had to get a spray bottle off eBay. It is the smoothest, most comforting scent of soft daffodil. I were it to bed and lull away to sleep.
😍😍😍 just the way you describe that experience is sublime.
You talk a lot about anxiety and I know that. To all anxious people I recommand cbd oil. It's life changing. You can sleep at night and less anxiety and no panic attack anymore. 30mg is a good dosage.
Cbd oil allows a normal life without medication and side effects.
It changed my life so I try to talk about it to concerned people.
Have a good day and thank you for the video.
I like Mon Guerlain, Angel's Share
They also have very comforting vibes!
I love hot yoga !
