So happy to have found your channel. I find it so relaxing to listen to your thoughts on various perfumes that not a lot of people talk about. It’s so much better than the usual rampant consumerism of the typical influencer pushing people to buy the latest new perfume. This makes me stop and think about older, more affordable fragrances that I haven’t paid enough attention to. Many of them are already in my collection. I definitely have discovered that there are certain perfumers that I like, and I enjoy seeing how they’ve made fragrances for everyone from Chanel to Coty.
What a different approach on your perfume loved it loved it. Also, your voice is very soothing down to earth type. Gail will definitely be checking into at least two of these fragrances sincere thank you and I’ll be subscribing.
I know exactly what you mean about thr patchouli, the hippie patchouli is so so different than what is used in perfumes..not sure how it's done. My mom used to buy patchouli perfume when she was little from a man who would mix it in the shop per customer, nothing pre-made. She said it was so.pretty and when she said patchouli I pictured the hippie patchouli smell. Now I want to try the green tea scent.
I had that Paris version back in the late '70's and early '80's. Then in 1981, the original Gianni Versace for Women came out, and was my signature scent until November 2023...and I decided to save my stash and branch out. In 4 months--with a fragrance Christmas with my daughter and granddaughter--I'm now up to about 90 bottles of perfumes. After much learning and study, my favorite perfume designer is Dominique Ropion...so now I'm backtracking and picking up his older perfumes...but I did finally find/order a bottle of Babycat. I have a couple of 5 ml vials of Vanagloria, and that will be my next full-bottle purchase.
@@MyPerfumeMap I'm enjoying the 5 ml size. It doesn't take up too much space, it is good for travel or purse, and it is enough for several wears...definitely enough to know whether you like it or not.
Honorine Blanc created one of my favorite of samples tried so far...Elizabeth James Nirvana White. And I've discovered Rodrigo Flores-Roux from sampling Artisan Pure (men's cologne but completely unisex - smells like bitter lime). Also lovely.
You just blew my mind! I had no idea Sophia Grosjman did the reformulation of Tabu! I love Tabu but I only have vintage versions. Do you know when she created the reformulation?
I really enjoy the type of perfumes you talk about. 😊 the mix with more vintage ones and celebrity scents are my favorite
Quentin Bisch - nose behing Guidance, Delina and Ganymede (to name few) made Teriaq by Lattafa, very hyped on yt this year.
I would recommend Fleurs by Boucheron created by Quentin Bisch and Natalie Gracia-Cetto . It’s a ❤
It’s on my list!
I am really enjoying your vídeos and learning about the creators behind the fragrances! Thank you!!! More of this please! Blessings.
Thank you!
Very interesting video! Thank you for that info 😊
Twilight Woods is one of my favorite scents and I've been wearing it for decades!

YSL..Paris was one of my favorites...I didn't know it was still available. Also loved Lauren, Ralph Lauren's first scent for women

I think 5ml is my favorite sample size.

Wonderful idea for a video. I also love the cardinal needlepoint.
Thank you

Let me look it up. I think it was quite awhile ago.
Reformulated in 2001 by Sophia Grojsman
@@MyPerfumeMap It’s ok. I don’t want to trouble you. I can look on Fragrantica probably, Thank you@!
@@MyPerfumeMap Thank you! ❤️
Is Francis Kurkijan BR540 really affordable?
Not at all
Very interesting vídeo 😍
Reverie is a gem. A GEM. Such a shame it is impossible to find.
So glad to hear I’m not the only one who appreciates Reverie!
That is some dent on BR 540!
I know. I think we can’t call it a dent, it’s totaled!
Good to know not to go to Disney land, I hate baccarat and fk's "creations"
You will smell it everywhere if you do!
