how is it possible that the edp lasts longer than the pure oil itself??

May I ask you, how you came up with the name Island Media? Also if you like gourmands, I would advise you to try Vanilla Diorama from PP, ordered in a small 5Pack because of you and must say, that it’s quite close, I would say at least 85/90%. The original is citrusy in the opening and smooth vanilla pureness in the Drydown, whilst PP‘s version does not really portray that citrus opening, and also adds quite a lot of spice with ig tobacco to it, which I may even appreciate more, than the actual DD, although I find it unsatisfying, that there is no citrus. BUT I haven‘t had the time to let it macerate, so for now it’s in the fridge until friday, and then maybe another week, and we will see if it gets closer (hopefully the opening😢). Nevertheless MUCH LOVE from Germany and please keep on pumping out content, because I enjoy your vids like crazy.❤❤ PLUS how close do you think Le Male Elixir comes to the OG?
@Island-Media12 сағат бұрын
I made up the name randomly! I live on an island so I used that as an idea :) I will look into vanilla diorama! I hope it improves for you! Le male elixir is getting better each day but there was something about the OG that stood out... it was really "bright" to me... maybe some lavender in there? Hopefully the clone improves over time. Much appreciate the comments and activity in the community ❤

you should try dior sauvage Edp and parfum I don't like the Edt at all but the others there so much better the EDP version is not as harsh to my nose it's more well balanced and there's a little sweetness to it also it has vanilla but it's only like a hint of vanilla the parfum version it's more woody and sweet and even more balanced but in my experience it just doesn't last as long or projects like the other Dior sausages

I find these oils are better with deeper darker scents. I must have 70 or 80 from precious pearls. Only the sauvage one from your purchase. The more airy scents don't last as long to my nose, but then apparently some notes and fragrances we become anosmic to. I think Baccarat and Bois D'argent are two I can barely smell but others can.

Not to templatise the structure of the video (in a sense you talking about it casually is what makes the video fun to watch) , but it would be great if you could cover the following in all the reviews for thr remaining series (which you have done for the most part) 1) Similarity to the original 2) Longevity and projection 3) Summer fragrance or winter 4) What do othet people say about the fragrance (for ex. You mentioned your missus loving a few fragrances, it would be great if you could talk about your wearing experience and people's reaction in general)

@Island-Media2 күн бұрын
Thank you for watching and I am glad you enjoy :) Definitely not The Essence Vault. I have the clone from there and it smells like mixed berries?! You could try Perfume-Parlour as I feel like they are reliable and mostly high quality (I've been impressed around 90% of the time). I've not got the one from there so can't 100% say BUT: Check the reviews in the comments section on their website as it may help you see what others think of it: www.perfume-parlour.co.uk/ug91ld (4.45 out of 5 Based on 20 reviews) Which is V. good IMO. Otherwise maybe there is a middle eastern house that copies spicebomb extreme. Yodeyma don't do a clone of it unfortunately. :( If you don't mind waiting 1month I can consider it to buy next month and test / review?

The longevity is really poor. After just 10 sprays, it fades away completely. It only lasts for about an hour before disappearing, and neither I nor others can smell it anymore. I live in Europe, and this type of fragrance would be even less effective in Asian countries.

I absolutely love your channel. As a viewer from germany I recently ordered PP 5x13ml with some friends and they all already smelled great right after receiving them, we will let them sit for 1/2 weeks whatsoever. I do have 2 questions for you: Would you recommend trying to mix 2 of my oils from a german brand with alcohol (if so, then what percentage in oil?)? And can you recommend me any fragrances from them for the upcoming seasons fall/ winter? Now this is another question, but I‘m eager to know: what exactly are all the differences between your self-mixed oil-fragrances and the original oils ?
@Island-Media3 күн бұрын
Firstly, I am glad you liked the Perfume-Parlour fragrances :)! Always nice to hear if a recommendation is successful! Secondly I am only just getting into Oils and mixing so I am a big newbie atm!!! I don't want to give you a false answer because I am still learning. From my very limited experience, some improve when mixed / diluted (such as TF Noir extreme in this video), other times it may "water it down" - for example if the oil is not very concentrated (cheap/low quality). But like I said I am only just stepping foot into this world. -BONUS- I think I have a good idea... I have a fantastic oil (By the fireplace) from PP which I can dilute to test. I know its great on its own and so can test for improvements. ... For fall/winter you want something warm and cosy, I suggest a clone of Halfeti / Tragedy of Lord George / By the Fireplace / Black Phantom, TF Noir Extreme. Maybe I will make a video about it :) - I am not completely sure but I assume mixing it myself is the same as when it comes pre-mixed but I am in control of the ratio? Oil is cheaper I THINK because you are buying less weight /substance ? Plus it means you can mix diff oils and make your own! :) Like I said I am not 100% sure, this is just a bit of an experiment for me !! haha

more oil means more lasting power and projection.
@tyicbranch27343 күн бұрын
No because the oil is too heavy so it can't project and you can't smell the separate notes it's why he's using the alcohol to make edp sprays so it levels everything out and projects more for example a parfum fragrance might last longer in most cases but just don't project in the air like Edt or EDP do also Edt has the least amount of oil and it projects the best but don't last as long it's why edp is the perfect balance between Edt and parfum I used to test this out myself years ago and I would make 3 versions of the same fragrance with the same perfume oil Edt & Edp and parfum it's why I know this from testing

@@tyicbranch2734 no that's just a myth. I work in a perfume type store. We sell essences that copy designer frags. Our standard concentration is edp. When the customer wishes for better longevity and projection, we charge extra essence to add in the bottle. The more the essence the more potent the fragrance becomes.
