    Ramsey, I absolutely loved your video on the beloved Diaghilev, which, I have to admit took me years to acquire before I could buy it. Thankfully, I was able to buy it before I was forced to retire. Your video truly did this magical perfume justice. Although I have less lifetime left than my many perfumes, if I were only able to keep one bottle of perfume, it would be Diaghilev. In my humble most opinion, it is the masterpiece of all fragrances ever created. Thank you so much for doing this video!

      I'm sure you would also like vintage Jardanel by Jean Desprez.
      It is a chypre from 1917.
      Two years ahead of the magical Mitsouko.

      I wore Diaghilev yesterday, as my scent of the night, and I felt like I was in Hermitage museum, watching and discussing Ilya Efimovich Repin's pictures with himself.
      Diaghilev is very powerful time traveler.
      I call it Mitsouko's brother.

    This series is an amazing idea! Diaghilev is my goal in perfumery, I want to own this fragrance one day and I will. I love and cherish every time I get to smell this fragrance from a boutique in my city and I think it is my favorite fragrance that I have ever smelt. Roja is a master, this and Enigma are amazing, and so many fragrances that he created. Big baroque, loud, dirty, strong, astonishing, I can't run out of adjectives when I describe this fragrance. Loved this video, the Epic Man video too, and can't wait for this series to continue. Cheers, Ram!

    I actually much prefer Diaghilev to mitsouko. You are also right that black currant bud is animalic/pee-like. The original formula of POAL contained black currant bud absolute but not any more. Too expensive. I like the smell of it. It's more animalic than castoreum for me which is interesting. It smells witchy too!
    The hidden, often forgotten component that makes these chypres a Chypre is the patchouli. A well known perfumer once tried a Chypre I made and instantly said, this has not got enough patchouli in this to be a Chypre! I had put a lot of patchouli in it but not enough! He was right. I learned that day how important the patchouli is, in fact I'd go as far to say that it's the most important component to make a Chypre. I thought it's a nice anecdote to share! :)

    Hi Ramsey, I bought a 9 ml from Rojas site a year ago. No longer available.
    My sense of smell is almost back, after covid 2 years ago.
    Yesterday I sprayed it, and I was getting the subtle beautiful nuances.
    I love the oakmoss, peach aldehydes, spices. Great florals, and the benzoin, tolu balsam gives a great woody base.
    I like animalics in it, tastefully done. Not so sexual for me.
    I'm thinking of Mitsouko vintage as substitute.
    Is Areej Antiquity similar, or even better?
    I realizing I love vintage oakmoss. I'm thankful you introduced me to Balenciaga poure Homme, great oakmoss.
    Diagalev has such great quality ingredients, so well blended.
    100 ml going for $700 on eBay now. Antiquity $1,200 for 30 ml.

    I have been delaying my purchase for Diaghilev due to the absurd pricing. A deal came up 3 months ago and my bottle finally arrived. It really is reminiscent of the chypre from the past. The aldehydic opening from Aramis, fruity opening from mitsouko and cumin/warmth from rochas femme. Mixed in with the floral heart and supported by the dense base. I can understand why you said that Diaghilev is like a fusion of the aforementioned vintage chypres. It is the very first time I am wearing Diaghilev as my SOTD. Truly beautiful. Hoping that vintage chypre will make a come back!

    As a woman who wore Alain Delon Le Temps D’aimer since age 15, as soon as I saw the note profile here, I got a sample (compare the two - very similar). Diaghilev is not powdery like all Guerlain fragrances (thankfully) and on my skin smells much closer to Iquitos than Mitsuoko. I wear it daily except for on days over 30°c. I don’t want to smell like sweets or a garden. I like smelling like a bedroom after a few hours of hot, steamy exercise.

    Hi Ramsey. I have a lot of vintage perfumes that I purchased in the last few years. I enjoy spraying them and thinking of my past and thinking of how old the liquid is. I just purchased from E-Bay a vintage bottle of Histoire d’Amour and it is a EDT 3.4 oz. Bottle. Some of the liquid is missing but not too much. The liquid looks on the screen a dark yellow; and I think it will smell great. The bottle is beautiful. A bought a bottle a few years ago from somewhere, and the liquid is a light yellow and the sprayer hardly sprays and the scent is very nice. I have a mini bottle of Mitsuko, and it smells pretty good. I like the one bottle that you have with the nice cap. I am sure it smells great. You have very good knowledge of perfumes, and I can see your passion for perfumes. It is an enjoyable hobby. Take Care. 😊

    What a great idea.
    Hall of fame.
    Diaghilev, glorious chypre of the 21st century, that smells like past times.
    Big Baroque Chypre, perfect for the opera, or for the musical evening in Eisenach, the birth place of Bach, where the fragrance connoisseur can have a full enjoyment of this fragrance while he listens Bach's Brandenburg Concertos.
    Diaghilev is very strong and loud.
    It is also a "dirty", pervert chypre, with its own sexuality.
    Absolutely the best fragrance of 2010. ahead of his family member - Aventus.
    I will wear it Tomorrow.
    Thank you Ramsey.
    Wonderful review.
    My Scent Of This Night :

    I’m getting a decant today. Based on the way this review is going, I’m going to say I probably won’t like it. Not because I’ll think it’s “bad” but because as fun as it sounds, sweaty intercourse marathon is not a scent that I need in my collection.

    Awesome review as always! But I want to ask if you would think of Diaghilev as a more mature perfume, ideal for people in their 30s-40s rather than younger ages. It's my favorite among the Rojas I have sampled but I think that I couldn't pull it off just yet. Thanks for your time and effort to put videos like this together!

    Hey 🐏 sy Comparatively to femme i cannot ever dare to wear it outside because of that fruity ripe candied opening that is just a big NoNo (Too vintage too old, unwearable) to my taste, but the oakmoss drydown grows on me and is pleasantly nice, does diaghilev keeps more of that candied fruit aspect of femme?
    Femme also doesn't smell remotely modern as it is vintage which is also making it unwearable for me, I'm curious what part makes diaghilev modern and different than your typical vintage chypre? Because i do hear it does have modern qualities to it

    2 days ago I wore 4 sprays of Russian Musk II + 2 sprays of Diaghilev, what a great Chypre evening this was. I love wearing Diaghilev in any weather and temperature, it’s perfection.
    I went buying more Chypre fragrances this year after watching your reviews and how your are loving Chypre style.
    I wish you all the best and try to keep the most loved fragrances that you have. Dmitry

    I’m sorry to break it for all of you here, but if you’re ever got trapped in such situation where you accidentally witness 2+ people getting cozy you know the room rarely ever smell like perfume unless some of the participant wears perfume, let alone Diaghilev specifically. But I get the poetry behind the imaginary. Diaghilev is really beautiful , but at 1000+€ I think it is just a steal. It can compete directly with Van Cleef & Arpels “Gem” from 80s, but the later costed a tiny fraction of the price of the former.
