    Vintage perfumes are so fun, aren't they?! I appreciate all the styles but finding a good vintage is like finding a treasure. Thanks for this list. Really enjoy your channel.

    My first real “big girl” fragrance gift was a set of scented ballpoint pens (from my parents) when I was all of 6 or 7 years old and the pens were scented “Arpege” and “My Sin” I think also from Lanvin. I cherished them forever….until I lost them like an irresponsible teen. 😁I would love to sniff Arpege again…

    I blind bought the Diva Pepite flanker for $50 from the Chemist Warehouse and I was so pleasantly surprised! I love it! For me it's a very rosey 80's Coco smell and contains genuine oakmoss so has that gorgeous billowy effect. Thanks for sharing, Cherie xx

    You got me interested in Arpege!
    I would never dare to blind buy. I can change my mind so much about my samples that a blind buy would probably end up being a regret.

    I hope you don't mind that as a new sub, I am going through your back catalogue of videos ;) . Enjoying your unique view and descriptives (especially re: Mr Lutens Fille de Joie ;)) . Best blind buys as a novice are (1) Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy Absolu d'Oranger EDP & (2) Annick Goutal's Rose Pompon EDP, both found at a discount retailer on separate occasions. What makes the Givenchy unique is that this was a limited release for the Middle Eastern market (and I am in N America). Felt like I won the lottery on both !

    My latest blind buy love is Christian Lacroix EDP. I think I wore it 3 days in a row, which is unheard of for me, lol. I smelled New Look a while ago and I think I liked it, but want to smell it again! Great video!

    Love vintage Arpege! What a beauty! I like some animalic scents. Amouage Beloved for one. 💕 I also really enjoy a few of Francesca Bianchi's lineup and Bengale Rouge is gorgeous! A love at first sniff for me. I recently purchased Panthea Iris, another love at first sniff. I would never have heard of it except for your video. We seems to share some similarity in what we like. I am currently looking around for a good deal on Shunkoin. It has the best tonka note that I have experienced and I do not typically like tonka notes. 😊
    I had a decant of Chypre 1942. I'm not sure why I didn't buy it? Probably too many shiny things and I was new to fragrance at that time.
    I also love Dragon Boat by TRNP. I heard you mention it in your live with Smurfygirly. Teone generously sent me a solid with an order. It is really pretty. I think that I'll place an order for it next spring. Just thought I'd mention that I agree that it is lovely. This was very enjoyable! Thank you Cherie!

    Diva was composed by Jaques Polge. I love it and only recently found out who created it.
    I also bought L’Orpheline and like it very much. I bought it for a great price too. I don’t understand all the hate it gets. That 1942 sounds great. I want it.

    • @TheTopNote

    Yay I spy Dioramor! Also that Diva bottle is gorgeous!
    Btw Lanvin is quite awkward to pronounce but it’s “Lohn-vauhn” with that typical French way of pronouncing “n” 🤣
    I might steer clear of Dioramour. If it’s cold it’ll not be what I was hoping for. Can you suggest any comforting iris scents? A lot of iris scents smell like sawdust on me - just very dry and cold. I want a cosy musky powdery iris!

    • @TheTopNote

      Still worth trying though! I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but I think you need to try Panthea Iris 🤪

    I'm on the look-out for an Absolute Pour le Soir substitute since it has been discontinued. Would Bengale Rouge be it? To me, APlS is a sweet, raunchy amber that smelt a bit like cat and dog fur. How does Bengale compare?

    • @TheTopNote
      @TheTopNote  3 года назад +1

      I think APLS is more “boudoir-ish” and even more animalic. I don’t think they are that similar as I also get a “rouge” bent from APLS that I don’t get from Bengale Rouge
