Monika, you know you can give someone compliments without bringing someone else down. very bad character you have. as for the video, yes, very educational and enjoyable.
How does it matter ? Not a single Fragrance reviewer on youtube is from the fragrance industry and also the people who watch this content. One does not require talent or lack of it to become a perfume reviewer.
This should be the first video that anyone watches if they want to explore fragrances. Really great job. Question - Does Chanel No. 5 work on a man? If not what is the men's version? BTW I own and love Tom Ford's Vert de Fleur. Tom Ford's Oud Fleur is my next purchase.
Thanks man, really appreciate your comment. There is nothing out there like Chanel No 5, no men version or equivalent, nada. That being said No 5 Eau Premiere would make an absolutely incredibile masculine, I wear it from time to time ;)
When You Thin You Know A lot About Fragrances, I Watch You....👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Fantastic Knowledge... Thank You For The Education As Always.. Yah I’m Catching Up On Your Work.
Thanks for another great video, Dimitri! In my 40s I suddenly discovered chanel no 5. Where have I been???? But I know what was the problem when I tried it years ago. I tried edp. Which is different and even has the another parfumer behind it. But. When I tried edt, which is the original by Ernest Beaux, it was a breathtaking experience! It became one of my signatures.. In last years I switched more and more to so called "men" notes. Last bought was Vetiver Oriental by Serge Lutens.. My god! What a beautiful beautiful vetiver! Again, great vis, as usual 😍
Ciao Yulia, the EDP was amazing until 2008, it went from being a celestial floral to a more average woody floral. Need to try Vetiver Oriental! Take care and thank you 😘
Hi! I‘ve recently discovered your channel and love your attention to detail and curiosity for new and underrated scents. About this video, just wanted to mention that the first oriental perfume ever created was actually made in 1921, just like Chanel 5. It was Habanita by Molinard and it‘s still in production and the actual formulation is not bad at all or at least is right up my alley 😂. Anyway, keep up the good work! 👍
Fantastic! Woody aromatic is hands down one of the favorites where the note of vetiver belongs. I remember you pulling out Guerlian homme adoringly once. Equally stunning is the homme L’eau Boisèe with the amped up facets of vetiver essence which was discovered around the region of Coimbatore that was an instant reminder of the now disappeared Bourbon vetiver, said Thierry Wasser in an interview. And in fact the name vetiver itself comes from the language spoken in that region.
I’m a bit late to the channel but glad I found it, some gorgeous fragrances here. I love a woody scent, I get my vetiver & cedar kicks from Thierry Mugler cologne & Creed Royal Oud tho. I’ll have to take a look at the Guerlain vetiver it’s getting a lot of love from a lot of ppl. Great video thank you.
Very informative. I wonder if you have an opinion concerning the fragrances of Manuel Cross. He is a former chef who taught himself perfumery and runs a small house called rogue perfumery. He does not comply with IFRA so, you have to come to the states to purchase his perfumes. His mission in life is to resurrect the classic sense that have been lost to us due to reformulations necessitated by IFRA compliance. I have recently discovered his house and his fragrances are either adored or hated by people in the community. There does not seem to be any middle ground. I would be very interested to hear what you have to say about them.
I could sit and chat with you about perfume for a whole weekend haha... I love CHYPRE... The original Pour Monsieur by Chanel, Mitsouko (vintage extrait), Diaghilev by Roja Dove... A few others, but those are my top favorites... (Oh the Chanel must be vintage as well.. Sorry but the new ones post 2002 are simply not nearly as good!)
Speaking of woody perfume I think Monsieur by Pierre Guillaume Paris is one of the best woody fragrances i've ever had to chance to smell. I knew i had to get it the first time i got a random sample of it! Barely anyone talks about it and it's a shame, its scent profile is fantastic. Haven't smelled anything quite like it (then again I don't have that much experience lol) You can order samples of his line from Nose Paris and other websites. He has other fragrances I really do like as well
Hey bro thanks for the hint, funny how you mentioned Nose Paris as I received a package from them 2 days ago lol. Pierre Guillaume has so many perfumes its a bit overwhelming, but I'll definitely try Monsieur now ;)
@@dimitrisignaturescent1766 lol maybe I knew 👀 jk they have an interesting catalogue for sure, I got a good amount of samples somewhat recently of his and have to say Isparta, komorebi and anti-blues are some the best I've tried imo
Hey, it means that it has a coniferous and resinous amber-like aroma, balsams are the result of the treatment of certain tree resins, wich are turned into essential oils
Point of order...epitome has 4 syllables...e-pit-o-me. I have tried to like Chanel #5 my entire life (I'm 66). I realize that millions of men and women the world over adore it...but not me! I can finally articulate why: it has vetivier and patchouli as base notes...PLUS a deliberate overdose of green aldehyde (a synthetic compound designed to hold fragrance accords together. There are multiple variations of aldehydes...but Chanel #5 was made with a green aldehyde.) Combine those three together and you get a green overdose that doesn't separate or reveal the other notes. My nose does NOT like it...but now I know why!
Who knew Guerlain was so important in the history of perfume...pretty much inventing new families. What about ouds? Didn't they exist for centuries before in arabia and India? Would that be it's own family?
Yes oud oils have been used for centuries by Arabs Indians and Chinese but they are not considered a fragrance family! Should you want to categorize them, they would fit into the Woody family !

You re right Oana, that same year Emeraude by Coty was also created, which is said to have inspired Shalimar ;) Still haven't tried Habanita!
@@dimitrisignaturescent1766 ... and then there‘s also Jicky, 1889 😅. The most successful is Shalimar, yes.
So much value bro!
Great informative video buddy! You need to post that workout routine 💪
Thank bro, I just do some pushups and pullups at home, occasionally I do squats with my girlfriend on my shoulders lol 💪💯
Fantastic!

Absolutely great. Thank you so much for your breakdowns and analyses of all these fragrance types. Your channel is very helpful and educational.
Cheers Eric!
Thanks, that was excellent

What is a good book to read about the history of perfumery? And about how different styles developed?
Very Informative 👍
What about gourmands?
Nice video, thanks
On your amazing review and your overall honesty and knowledge of perfume, I've ordered ex idolo 33. Thanks and i'll let you know.
Hope you enjoy it ;)
@@dimitrisignaturescent1766 Picked up 33 today and it's amazing. Just as you described. Sending you thanks and much success from Los Angeles.

A few others, but those are my top favorites... (Oh the Chanel must be vintage as well.. Sorry but the new ones post 2002 are simply not nearly as good!)
When it comes to legendary fragrances such as the ones you mentioned, vintage perfumery is undeniably the best ! Cheers Steven
Thank you💖
I dont think any reviewer has made this kind of informative video great thinking buddy. Your channel is going to be one of the top in few months.
Where do you place the highly popular gourmands?
Good evening, may I ask a question? What makes a parfum smell like a nuance of popcorn? Could it be the aoud?

Hello. I am curious to know what it means when a fragrance has a balsamic note.
Hey, it means that it has a coniferous and resinous amber-like aroma, balsams are the result of the treatment of certain tree resins, wich are turned into essential oils
@@dimitrisignaturescent1766 Thank you that explains It So well！

What family does musc fall under?
Hey, musc does not fall under any family, it is a material used as a fixative and can be found in all fragrances 😉
The title sounds like the start of a fragrance mafia movie
What fragrances could you see Christian Bale wear as Bruce Wayne in The Dark Knight? Memoir Man Amouage?
Who knew Guerlain was so important in the history of perfume...pretty much inventing new families. What about ouds? Didn't they exist for centuries before in arabia and India? Would that be it's own family?

Lol. You look like Chuck Norris the Martial Artist!
I think people used oud and musk way way before the 18th century.
