Been a fan of Bvlgari Black since it's launch. It's unfortunate it's discontinued and the price is so high now. Great video nonetheless. I love her creations.
If the latex facet is what appealed (which some call a rubber tire smell, more because of the packaging), then Tom of Finland, now renamed Clean Suede from ELDO, has that exact same facet. They are different scents overall but they share that one facet in common along with vanilla. The deep drydown of Patchouli 24 is also reminiscent but it takes a long time for it to get there.
I love learning more about a perfumer and their work. Annick is brilliant. She has an affinity for the shadow smells in scents. I won’t miss you if we get more content like this
"Annick Menardo does really great things with resins." Yes! Bois d'Armenie is a prized possession in my perfume cabinet, and I've also noticed the evolution between Bois d'Argent and Bois d'Armenie. She's such a talented perfumer, and does wonderful things with licorice, as showcased in the Lolita Lempicka feminine line.
A big fan of Bvlgari Black since it launched. I’ve gone through several bottles in the past and lucky to still have a sealed back-up bottle. I tried AllSaints Incense City and it reminded me of BB, minus the tea note. A spendier dupe is apparently BDK Creme de Cuir which I’ve yet to try and hoping to get a sample of.
She's great and she does great things with resinous notes, smoke, amber and unconventional ingredients. But my all time favorite of hers is Bvlgari Black.
Lolita Lempicka, I think is her best most memorable composition. If only we can have the original formulation back. I also have the Sports Car Club. Thos does not smell as its name but I love it for its spa-like slow drive across pine trees vibes.
She's made some amazing scents. There are several I haven't tried, though. I've always wanted to get my nose of Kokorico - that bottle alone intrigues me, but it sounds great. I also want to try Close Up from Olfactive Studio. That's a brand I haven't tried anything from, I but keep forgetting about them since you just don't hear others talking about them.
I absolutely love Amouage Overture! I got a sample at Neiman Marcus when I purchased Jubilation. I still have it on my list to purchase soon hopefully 😮💨
I always wanted to try BVLGARI Black, I've checked and you can still get it at a reasonable price on eBay. Also curious about STARCK Peau D'Ailleurs and the ones from Une Nuit Nomade. I really enjoy this perfumer series, thanks for the video Seabastian!!!
This lady is the best...Love Roma, that Lolita Lempicka, and especially Bvlgari Black...the smells of my youth. She also did Xeryus Rouge by Givenchy, which I also loved. Memory Motel and Rose America are on my list. Thanks!!
Figment Man by Amouage is my favorite of her creations. I am requesting the next perfumer portfolio Karine Vinchon-Spenner. Alberto Morilla's , Dominique Ropion's and Bertrand Doushafour's videos were formidably entertaining and those mentioned and the one requested are my favorites artists
I like Karine Vinchon-Spenner creations but the catalog is not vast sadly. Might be able to put a list of 10 together we shall see. I am def updating Bertrand Duchaufour though.
Fate Man, Overture Man, Boundless, Myths Man, Lineage and Memoir man by Amouage, Memo Paris's Tiger's nest and Xerjoff/Casamoratti line 1888 are some of her creations Sebastian. These are the ones I know from research she created!
Jaipur edp is a classic staple in my collection. It doesn’t necessarily smell dated but has a classic touch if that makes sense. I usually wear it around the holidays and it does garner compliments.
I really love these perfumer videos! I wore Bvlgari Black back in the day when it was first released. More recently, I’ve worn Bois D’Argent and Lavallière, which are both really great! Now that I know about the perfumer, I’m interested in trying more of her fragrances on this list. Thanks, Sebastian! ❤
I agree. The first ever video on any perfumer I ever did was on the last channel and it was for Annick Menardo as I had so many favorites. So she's done some great work for sure! :)
Her earlier designer stuff was magic. 🧡 Also a fan of her work for Amouage and I heard Bottled Elixir was decent too? Since we're both astute fans of Boss' original #6 edt, I'd love to get your take on that one Sebastian. I do love those bottle colours.
I have't tried the new Boss Bottle Elixir but hated the Parfum so I hope it's good. I love Boss Bottled Original #6. Yes it's quite good. Been meaning to do a video on the Boss Bottled Saffron and Aromatic as well I haven't had time. So hoping for that soon.
@@ThePerfumeGuy Speaking of perfumers, I just saw that Alberto Morillas and Olivia Giacobetti perfumed 2 new collections for Zara respectively. The Blanc collection looks like white musk galore. But both look highly molecular driven.
I've done a Bertrand video before almost 10 years ago but working on another. I think I have to do multiple for him because he has done so so much. But either way I'm working on one for his fragrances. So stay tuned.
Amazing video! I had no idea she was responsible for so many great scents. I was a huge fan of Roma, Jaipur (all time fav), as well as Bulgari Black. As you can tell, I was in my prime in the 90’s! I’ve started to revisit my old time favs and am currently wearing the classic Armani Homme, absolutely love it. On the hunt for a bottle of the classic Bijan per Homme. Many thanks for all your work! Hope you make it to Greece this September.
Quentin and Dominique are already in videos. I think he has at least two about Ropion. Oops, I just started typing without looking at your comments, Sebastian
@@catherinelynnfraser2001 thank you so much! I will watch them!! I have so many perfumes from both of these wonderful perfumers I don’t know how I missed this!!
Ooh I would love to but it would mostly be a few brands. And sadly I don't even own any of his own catalog. I do like his fragrances so maybe in the future.
I wish to compare them sometime soon but i think it's the preference of the perfumer to use one or the other or both. I think the patchoulol is sweeter. But don't quote me on that.
@@ThePerfumeGuy I think she based Gaiac 10 off Visit, just a much more polished and creamier rendition. Visit is much more incense-y at its heart and the opening is sharper.
@@ThePerfumeGuy well the original one had an extrait thickness to it. It’s gotten thinner and more haze like as the years have gone by. It’s still powerful but that waxy thick red paste sillage is gone. It’s still beautiful though. Confetto is it’s mother and still somehow retains its beauty so idk what Dior is doing.
I really wanted to also get Midnight Poison and missed out on that one. But will eventually go get a bottle of Hypnotic Poison, I should just have it. :)

Thanks to reviewers like you Sebastian, I'm starting to take note of the nose or perfumer behind each fragrance I love.
My pleasure!
Loved Annick Menardo since I discovered Bvlgari Black. Oh that fresh, tyre shop smell. 😍

I still have an open bottle of Bulgari Black and also a back-up bottle of it. They don’t make them like they used to.
OOH lucky you!! I agree re they don't make them like they used to!! :)

Bois D'Argent is a triumph of 21st century perfume. I've got the edc and edp and, whilst different, they're both sensational
I absolutely love Amouage Overture! I got a sample at Neiman Marcus when I purchased Jubilation. I still have it on my list to purchase soon hopefully 😮💨

Ohhh, I looooove Overture Woman, possibly my favourite Amouage fragrance.

I still have my original bottle of Bvlgari Black that I got in my teens. Still love it. Sad it was discontinued.
Awesome.

My grandfather loved Jaipur in the 90s and so does my father ( and myself) today and it's very affordable..
7:20 I think the second name is polish and is pronounced Lempitska

Came in Touch with Annick Menardo with Potion by Dsquared. Great!
I love Portrayal Woman, best jasmine scent.
Well done for highlighting yet another perfumer, bringing the spotlight onto some ones life's work. The Le Labo scents are exquisite.
Great video and I enjoyed it and she is one of my favorite profumers and have a blessed day
thank you.
You welcome keep up the good work GOD BLESS 🙏
I own two on this list as a female and I love them…the starck one and boss bottled, both distinctive for a female ❤
Thanks for sharing!
Oohh yes, Lavallière is gorgeous. I'll take fig fruit anytime, fig leaf not so much!
Wow looking at the list what a portfolio she has i mean so many well known perfumes, wow
I agree. The first ever video on any perfumer I ever did was on the last channel and it was for Annick Menardo as I had so many favorites. So she's done some great work for sure! :)
In love with jaipur, what a great fresh and spicy perfum and also contemporary
Definitely a video on Paolo terenzi. That would be amazing. Probably my favourite perfumer. But that would mean I’d have to wait till you get to P

Seb, Roma needs to be revisited. Just needs to be beast mode. Still wearing this today. Definitely a signature scent
OOh yes.
Loved this video. If you have not done it, Bertrand Duchaufour is amazing. Would love to see you do his works. Thanks again!
I've done a Bertrand video before almost 10 years ago but working on another. I think I have to do multiple for him because he has done so so much. But either way I'm working on one for his fragrances. So stay tuned.
I wish i still had that Kokorico, was so good! I want it back together with that black and white YSL Jazz bottle... Good memories.
Memories for sure.

You will see us pull out a vintage Bijan Pour Homme in this video. It's very long but very fun.

I love a lot of her creations!
She does good work.
She's one of the best. Another great Menardo creation is Azzaro Visit
I need to Visit Visit! :)
Would love to see videos featuring Quentin Bisch, Pascal Gaurin & Dominique Ropion creations
Hi I recently did a Quentin Bisch video here: ruclips.net/video/xCyZ3akmAmU/видео.html
And I also did a Dominique Ropion video about 2 years ago:

@@catherinelynnfraser2001 thank you so much! I will watch them!! I have so many perfumes from both of these wonderful perfumers I don’t know how I missed this!!
Boss Bottled #6 all the way...
I used to have Rose America 🌹
Yes, Rose America is very nice. I am wearing
Wonderful!
thanks for recommending Indian sandalwood, i loved it!
It's a good one for sure. Glad you enjoyed it.
I would like to see from you one for Sonia constant and Natalie Lorson
Hope you do one for Pierre Bourdon fragrances 🤞
Azzaro Visit is an amazing cheapie
My favorite from her is Bois D'Armenie but I find it doesn't quite smell the same in the new packaging as the older version.
As with most Guerlains, let it rest a bit. :)
Annick MeNaRdo wonderful professor thank you
You are very welcome
I like this idea. Can't wait for the next one!
Sebastian, great video on a great perfumer. Thank you and safe travels!
Thanks, you too!
Very extensive catalog of fragrances Sebastian, thank you ... sadly I only own Memory Motel but love it ! Have a good trip. Cheers Brutha😎
Thanks for stopping by! :)
Nice list👍. I love Bois d'argent. I need to try Bois d'armenie
Bois D'Armenie is so so good.
I actually quite enjoy Sports Car Club by Penhaligon's.
Hey!!! Please go Jean Kerleo🎉
About Jaipur, Annick Menardo made the clear bottle 1998 NOT frost one. Am I wrong?
Hi Sebastian, Do you have any views on Cabochard by Grès ? Also Chergui and De Profundis from Serge Lutens?
Great idea!! Love this❤ have a wonderful and safe trip❤
Thank you.
You are the best on RUclips 👏
Fantastic list, fantastic perfumer!
Thanks for watching!
Bois D'Armenie is absolutely amazing. It's so delicious and sensual
Have 5 from that list👍🏼💯
Awesome.
Sonia Constant would be a good one
OOh yes!
Great work my brother please keep it up
Thank you, I will
Great video man
Thank you.
Could you do a video on Christian Provenzano fragrances ?
Ooh I would love to but it would mostly be a few brands. And sadly I don't even own any of his own catalog. I do like his fragrances so maybe in the future.
I love hypnotic poison.
Sadly I do not own Hypnotic Poison, might have to get it.
What is the difference in smell between patchouli and patchoulol (presumanly an alcohol made from patchouli)?
I wish to compare them sometime soon but i think it's the preference of the perfumer to use one or the other or both. I think the patchoulol is sweeter. But don't quote me on that.
Wonderful🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! Cheers!
My current Signature Scent and fav from Annick: Azzaro Visit.
I haven't tried Azzaro Visit. This is the second comment for it though so I'm going to have to Visit it! LOL! ;)
@@ThePerfumeGuy I think she based Gaiac 10 off Visit, just a much more polished and creamier rendition. Visit is much more incense-y at its heart and the opening is sharper.
Can you do a video on Chris Maurice/Carbonnell ?
That one I am working on! :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy and this is one of the many reasons I love your channel and watch religiously. Thanks Sebastian. Safe travels.
Thank you. :)
Any reviews on Eight & Bob?
Here's a video: ruclips.net/video/sdD0Z-q2ZSM/видео.html
The biggest one is the one missing and that’s Hypnotic Poison
Yes I don't have it sadly. But never was wowed by it. I wonder if it still smells great after how many years it's been in existence?
@@ThePerfumeGuy well the original one had an extrait thickness to it. It’s gotten thinner and more haze like as the years have gone by.

I really wanted to also get Midnight Poison and missed out on that one. But will eventually go get a bottle of Hypnotic Poison, I should just have it. :)
Awesome
Will you come to Rome?
Do Chris Maurice/Carbonell next
Working on it but might turn out to be mostly Xerjof!! LOL! ;)
@@ThePerfumeGuy Nishane Nefs must be there, along with some Bois 1920
@@AndreSpecht you know it’s one of my least favorite fragrances by Nishane right? I love his creations but that Nefs I don’t I don’t like.
@@AndreSpecht Bois 1920 I haven’t been able to get a hold of any of his creations for that house.
@@ThePerfumeGuy That's interesting. Nefs is considered a masterpiece by many, including myself
Hello sebastian ralphjr from Puertorico
Hello.
Boss Bottled is a sexy
Huge fan of Annick Menardo. She has a very signature way of using resins, and when I guess something was made by her, I’m usually correct.
I agree. Resins and smoke are her key notes! :)
👍
👍👍👍
Hello

Hello.
I own two on this list as a female and I love them…the starck one and boss bottled, both distinctive for a female ❤
