Love your channel! Have you ever thought of doing video consultations for those looking to get into fragrances? Especially niche. I just need some direction and like your taste a lot.
Great video! 😊
I would love to do more, but right now I need to focus on my job and what pays the bills. Thank you!
@@thehonestperfumereviewer6336 absolutely! Well if you ever branch, count me in!
Hei! So much fun to see your top 10! I think some of your favourites are too sweet for me,like Journey and Musc Ravageur. But the Estee Lauder PC I really love,very clean and classic. I am having a moment with white florals right now,and I ❤ J'adore the OG from Dior, and to me it is still a relevant fragrance. Besides from that I wear Fille en Aiguilles and Daim Blond from Serge Lutens and Beige from Chanel. I also was a bit surprised when I heard the notes from the Acne Studios perfume, they are like you said quite modern, and I would not guess aldehydes to be the first choice of notes. But now I am quite curious to test it😂
Just checked the notes and aldehydes are there for sure!
I have a bottle of Private Collection bought about twenty years ago. it used to be the signature scent of former Queen (now Princess) Beatrix of The Netherlands. Curious to hear your opinion on the new Chanel, Comète. My current to 10 (most worn): Cuir Cannage (Dior), Cuir Mauresque (Serge Lutens) - these are quite similar, incidentally, but CM is more lush and floral (orange blossom); 1957 Chanel, Relique d'Amour (Oriza L. Legrand), Marienbad (Prada), Encens Mythique (Guerlain), Je Reviens (vintage, moonbottle, Worth), Black Orchid (parfum, Tom Ford), Noir de Noir (Tom Ford), Misia (Chanel).
I appreciate your list of fragrances. I've been very intrigued to try Marienbad (Prada). Would you describe it as a "head shop/tibetan shop" type of fragrance?
@@regismonkton Thanks. I would nót describe it as a head shop scent, although it is a scent that will go to your head. lol If reminiscent of any type of shop than a chic antiques store - the oud reads to my nose as a beautiful santal; wooden cabinets. It also has an (Asian) 'lacquered' feel. It's fairly dark and fairly sweet (specifically in comparison to the dry leather i'm currently wearing, Cuir Cannage), with a gorgeous plum note. In addition, it's quite 'smoldering' possibly due to the animalics. The blend is superb, it's a timeless 'old world,' 'old money' kind of fragrance. I was and still am completely mesmerized by Marienbad, and bought a backup as soon as I had the chance (which I don't often do). A desert island pick for sure.
@@Loufi303 Excellent! Thank you very much. Your info is helpful. I'm very intrigued to try it. I hope to get a bottle of it in the near future.
So interesting perfumes! Need to try Chypre Palatin and 22. Those caught my attention. Le Lion is beautiful and one day I will buy an Amouage just for the bottle 😅
I don't always leave a message, but i appreciate your CHANNEL ❤❤
Thank you!
Dear Kiki, I'm impressed every time how much you know about al those different perfumes. Wat i love even more is your honesty and your undependend view. Love to see your contents, you look a little tired lately, nu wonder, you have to work hard. Please hold on to this channel. Love you way of presenting us more really interesting reviews. I like your video's a lot
❤
Thank you!
Hi Kiki, literally just sprayed a combo of Meharees and musc ravageur a second before you mentioned MR! If you haven’t tried l’erbolario Méharées you should. A MUCH cheaper Mr style fragrance. A great one when you want mr but also want to save your precious Malle juice! X
I think I just talked about Meharées on my channel a few videos ago. I discovered it through a friend and got a decant. It is good!
Hi Kicki. I appreciate your "Current Top Ten Fragrance List". I want to try all the ones you mentioned (however, I've already tried Amouage "Journey Woman" and I like it). Currently, my Top Ten Favorite Fragrances from my collection are: Guerlain "Bois Mysterieux", "Lalique Pour Homme EDP", V Canto "Mea Culpa", Amouage "Jubilation XXV Man", Veronique Gabai "Cap d'Antibes", Milano Fragranze "Basilica", Dolce & Gabbana "Velvet Incenso", Guerlain "Heritage EDT", Mauboussin "Une Histoire D'Homme Irresistible", and Giorgio Armani "Acqua di Gio Profumo".
Recently, I've been adding some "church incense" fragrances to my collection. Dolce & Gabbana "Velvet Incenso" has become my favorite "church incense" fragrance so far. I got it for a relatively great price. I even got a backup bottle of it because I like it a lot and it was being sold for a good price. What are some "church incense" fragrances which you feel are worth recommending to someone who likes that style of fragrance?
I don't know really, it is not my favorite category of fragrance. Caftan by YSL good but I sold it, because I didn't wear it much. I like the Serge Lutens one that is called something Dans le bleu qui petille. It smells like a church in a sea! And speaking of that, I love Unda Maris from Filipo Sorcinelli. That is a churchy marine incense fragrance. But also ambery.
@@thehonestperfumereviewer6336 Thank you for the recommendations. I definitely plan to sample them, and I'll try to get a decant of "Caftan" while it's still available.
Gosh I love galbanum. Have you tried 2024 release Private Collection Legacy Estée Lauder? Thanks for sharing your current 10 🌿
I haven't but just heard about this!
My top are Ormonde Woman, Ani, Libre Intense, Noa (Cacharel), Delina la Rosee, Frangipani (O.Jayne), Byzantine Amber (F.Bianchi), Cristalle edt (old formula), Fleur d'Oranger by SL (also old formula), Vanille Havane (Indemodables) ❤
When will you make another video? Are you ok?
Yes! Am ok. Working full time is hard though. Thank you for asking! Will try to come online soon with another video.
Just binged watched so many of your videos - and guess what! I got a bottle of Safari today! It’s so fun. Thanks for the content!
So nice to hear that!
I remember Private Colletion - wauw it had very heavy projektion and very nice soapy 80ies feel.
Cacao Porcelana is in my top 10 too and it would even be in my top 5. I tried their new one too, Cedre Figalia, it is gorgeous. One of the most beautiful lines in my opinion
I didn't know they had a new one! Thank you for commenting.
@@thehonestperfumereviewer6336 it's only came out earlier this spring
Hello, my favorite ones are l'heure bleue, mitsouko, insolence, santal royal guerlain, chanel no 5, le lion, amber kiso ds&durga, lipstick rose Frédéric malle, infusion d'iris prada, babycat ysl, eau des sens dyptique ❤️🥰❤️
Sorry diptyque is the correct spelling
Oh oh...the grammar police are watching
I think since going back to work and having to "worry" about how you smell and how your scent is perceived at work has your sense of smell in a heightened status and more sensitive and able to smell better, similar to when we would typically use our sense of smell to perceive and avoid danger throughout human evolution.
That is super interesting! Thank you for commenting. I never even thought of this perspective and I think you might be right.
Nice Tfs
Tfs? Not sure what that means. Top fragrances? Thank you!
@@thehonestperfumereviewer6336 thanks for sharing is what it means I learned this from RUclips lol
May I ask you something about the "Private Collection" from Estee Lauder? How can I distinguish "your" one from the newer ones? When I go online (ebay etc.) I see a lot of offers. But how do I recognize the vintage formulation? Which batch code does your bottle have?
I tested the new Frederic Malle as well and I also found it very Chanel like..:)
Arbole or in general Hiram Green I find very difficult to wear, for me much toooo sticky...athough I like the idea of natural perfune.. Journey Woman I really want to test in future..:)
Can a gentleman wearing vixere??? What do you think?
I think it leans feminine but I bought my bottle from a man. It is quite floral but of that is something that works for you, try it. It has white flowers, yellow flowers and purple flowers. Pretty powdery but with a quite heavy base with musc, patchouli and sandalwood.
I enjoy listening to you but I sometimes have a hard time following the perfume names and/or the house name because of the accent or the speed with which you say them. If you could say the perfume names slower and possibly show the bottle a bit longer than a quick shake of the bottle, I could maybe make out the names. ❤😊
Thank you for the feedback! Will think about it next time. I have this problem with other fast reviewers😆
In regards to the fragrances Kicki mentions, she normally writes the names of at least most of them in the video description.
Hi Kicki, It is funny that there are teenage boys who are into such high end fragrances. I’m 65 now, but when I was about 18 I wore Tea Rose (Perfumer's Workshop) and Wind song (Prince Matchbelli) . But I also bought a bottle of Dioressence (the extrait in the vial-like bottle and the juice was the same deep green shape of vintage Emeraude) It’s a beautiful chypre that I really had no business buying on my nurses aide pay. I think it cost about $50 in 1978- which is about $275.00 in today’s money. When I see young woman & men in their late teens and early 20s with these sizable perfume collections, I think mmmm? Is this the result not just of social media but also of globalism too? Thats what I assume, because when I was that age just that one bottle of Dioressence broke the bank for me and was a very irresponsible purchase. Only very wealthy people would have been able to have collections of high end luxury fragrances- and I didn’t know anyone like that, so I never saw anyone with more than one or two expensive perfumes. The world has changed so much. Today I’m retired and I have a large collection compared to people who are not into perfume beyond owning a few bottles- which is how I enjoyed and wore perfume too most of my life. But, for me it changed during the pandemic when I discovered perfume RUclips. Size-wise I think my collection is in the same realm as yours and it’s the size I want to keep it at. I also like a lot of perfumes that you’ve reviewed on your channel and have liked.
You’ve mentioned about three *perfumes that are also on my current list of favorites (No 19 Poudre, Private Collection & Cacao Porcelana)
Currently the favorites in my collection are
24 Foubourg (Hermès)
Ormond Woman (Ormonde Jayne)
Tsarina Intensivo (Ormonde Jayne)
Vanilla Planifolia (Chloé)
Gentle Fluidity Gold (MFK)
Loukhoum (Keiko Mercheri
Iris Poudre Frederic Malle
Tempo (Diptyque)
Mon Guerlain (the OG & Intense)
No 19 Poudre * (Chanel)
A few other favorites that I’m not wearing much lately because we’re in Spring, but they’re still favorites, are Starlight (Xerjoff), Overture (Amouage) & Cacao Porcelana* (Atelier Materi)
I’ve also been wearing several of my favorite vintage perfumes- Boudoir (Vivienne Westwood) is the #1 jewel of my collection, 1000 by Jean Patou is a longtime favorite of mine, and have recently picked up a few new ones that have been on my wishlist for a about a year, including a vintage bottle of the original Coco Chanel in the Extrait formulation, a bottle of Estée Lauder Private Collection* (like the bottle & formulation you have). And I just got a bottle of Theo Fennell Scent (quite rare to come up for sale here in the U.S.)
Love your channel and hearing your opinions and perspectives. Thanks.
Starlight was the perfume I tried on Friday night when I got the compliments! Thank you for your comment. Interesting hearing your thoughts about all the young people buying expensive fragrances.
Young kids around the world are obsessed with fragrance now it seems and expensive ones too!! 😱 They are buying also!! 😳 All the department stores, including the high end ones are awash with kids sniffing away and leaving lovely messes behind, especially around the holidays!! 🙄 Quite the movement and I'd say Social Media has a lot to do with it. Should have bought shares in a start up niche fragrance brand, darn!! 🤣😂 xx
So I guess it is not just here in Sweden then? Where are you from?
@@thehonestperfumereviewer6336 yeah it's definitely a world wide phenomenon!! 😆 We're in the UK 🙌🇬🇧 xx
You look like Michelle pfeiffer
I enjoy listening to your show, but sometimes it’s hard to follow the perfume names and/or the house name because of the accent or the speed with which you say them. If you could say the perfume names slower and possibly show the bottle a bit longer than a quick shake of the bottle, we might be able to learn some more from you!
Yes! Will improve this next time. Thank you for the feedback. Look also in the description box where I try to write all the perfumes I mention.
