Frédérique-- what a perfect video for me!! Usually when I go back the first places I go are to Fragonard in Nice, or Èze or in the big department store like Galleries Lafayette so I can get my rare favorites and try new samples! I love two favorites of my mother and also the second one was also loved by Jackie Bouvier Kennedy-- the Guerlain Shalimar and Vol de Nuit ( I saw her big bottle in a movie about her!) Vol de Nuit is another one where one could be on the Orient Express! I loooove it, but it's hard to find. You have to go to Paris and the _grands magazines_. A newer Cartier that I really love is Panthère! I found it in France about 3-5 years ago, and I love it so much! I always get compliments on it. Also love the new No. 5 L' Eau de Chanel which is totally different from No. 5. I also am not really very fond of No 5, which for some reason doesn't suit me at all, ( too strong and maybe metallic + sweet) but I got a sample of the L'Eau and that is magic. It has a quality of _Rive Gauche_ ( which I love) or maybe _Knowing_ but it's so fresh and so sharp, chic. Paris! It's become a go-to. I also do not like sweet perfumes, and there are too many vapid and sweet ones around right now. But I love summer fragrances like _Soleil_ of Fragonard. If I am going out ( after the pandemic) for the evening I will stick to Shalimar, or Panthère or No.5 L'Eau!

[@stylebase]

Hello Frédérique, my favorite fragrance is Perfume de Pau by Claude Montana. It is so sophisticated and unique and represents my personality. It is really hard to get, but thus far, I haven't found any proper replacement for it. My second favorites Coco Noir and Womanity (Mugler).

[@MarionetteMuse]

Aqua Motu by Comptoir Sud Pacifique. To me, it smells like France!

Thank you darling for watching ❤️

[@lindabalcazar2550]

I got so excited when you mentioned Rochas! My favorite perfume is Femme by Rochas. My aunt wore it when I was little and I wear it now. I'm super picky about scents but I love Femme ❤️

[@thecat2415]

I adore French perfume! My parents gave me my first French perfume when I was 12 years old. Now I'm 30 and all these years I have collected so many bottles, because I love to set mood around me with colors and scents so for every day with different outfit, different weather and different place I choose to use different fragrance. I love them all and it's hard to choose favorite, but I think that YSL Black Opium, Givenchy Irresistible Delicieuse and Lanvin Eclat has special place in my heart.

[@pandaroll2323]

Love, love, love perfume! Thank you for doing this video Frederique. Dior J'adore, Lancome Tresor and YSL Cinema are my favourite go-tos, but also love green, fresh scents. Even bought Eau de Sauvage once lol! So many beautiful fragrance houses x

[@pkshadow3168]

So excited that you included Rive Gauche and Lancome O. So many perfumes are far too shrill and generic. These two are subtle but delicious.

[@brvndxxxn]

My favorite perfume is Aromatics Elixir by Clinique! It’s so elegant, simple and earthy to me!

[@amandajamitinya5225]

Bonjour Frederique! My absolute favourite is Coco Chanel. I also like Lou Lou by Cacherel and J’adore. I love your channel and would love to see more videos on French jewellery styling!

[@JuicyJuice1313]

My mom's all time favourite perfume is Dior's Diorissimo..but she also liked Rive Gauche and Chanel #19. Grandma used to wear Lancome's Magic Noir, Serge Lutens Feminite du Bois, Guerlain Apres l'Ondee and Insolence :)

[@poppyblanca5817]

Oh, so many to choose from! Thank you for the recommendations, there are some I will definitely try. Personally I love Délices de Cartier/ Lancôme Trésor La Nuit (quite a newish one I think) and Thierry Mugler Muse - oh and Black Opium, bien sûr!! ❤❤❤

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I never thought I would love any perfume as much as I do Cacharel’s Anais Anais. It has such a clean floral smell, like powder or soap. One new one I do love is Jo Malone’s Wild Bluebells, but it’s super fast-fading, even for a cologne, and doesn’t come in the longer-lasting perfume form. My Anais Eau de Cologne lasts all day. Fragrances made in France are always the best, the French have a long tradition of expert fragrance-making and always use high-quality natural ingredients. The only downside is that bees think I’m a flower and sometimes get a bit in my face.

[@danielleS257]

Anais Anais was the first “nice” perfume I owned. Asked & received for my 16th birthday. Loved. Give Pure Grace by Philosophy a try. Very clean & soap like. Or Amazing Grace also by Philosophy, more floral than the Pure Grace but still clean. These are my every day perfumes.

[@SuN_2804]

My god Anaïs Anaïs is one perfume I’ll cherish until death! My dad got it for me from Paris when I was 3 or 4 ( yep been wearing perfumes since forever, I’m 33 now) and it instantly became a favourite! Love love! I’ve used many since but Anaïs so close to my heart ❤️

[@sariedelden1982]

Wow me to! I love love love wild bluebell from Jo Malone, but also fades super fast. I bought Carat from Cartier And I love it so much! I am definately going to try anais anais

Chanel Number 5 is my all time favorite perfume. When I was about five years old, I used to sit at my mother's vanity and open up her bottle of No. 5. I loved the scent then and still do to this day, it is my signature scent. It's 100 years old this year! Last year in Paris, my husband bought me Chanel 1957 - it is exclusive to Chanel boutiques only. I love it but no one every says "that smells so nice" You don't hear much about this one. Glad to hear about the other French perfumes you mention as I am always on the hunt for a good perfume. Lancome - ugh - way to sweet, only like this brand for some of their makeup products.

[@irairod5160]

Of the better-known Chanel, I love Coco Noir and Chance Eau Fraiche.

[@vkngwmn6636]

Coco Mademoiselle is definitely now for me. It reminds me of my mom who passed away in 2020. Homage to her and the patchouli base always works for me. Recently I've received or purchased No.5 Eau, Black Opium,and L'INTERDIT. J'adore EAU DE ROCHAS. Coriandre is also a fresh scent and a bargain one that doesn't disappoint.

[@thedativecase9733]

My favourite perfume as a 20 something was Givenchy III, so subtle and sophisticated, unlike all the" loud perfumes" that were so fashionable at the time . It just worked with my personal chemistry and men always complimented me on it. A school friend introduced me to classic French perfumes as her mum wore some gorgeous classics. Maybe now, many years on, one couldn't wear these older fragrances (sad face!) but they remain like works of art. A creator of great perfumes is an artist to my mind. :) Prove me wrong !! x

[@franzizs8537]

To me Guerlain is the Queen in here. No matter what I get… it’s amazing. I have like 60 perfumes so it’s difficult to say but I would say Poison the hypnotic version would be my pick! These days I looooove Baccarat Rouge .. :) Love your selection

[@leahparr1852]

I’m looking forward to this series Frederique! I think we have quite similar taste in perfumes as I also love Black Opium and Coco Mademoiselle. At the moment my signature scent is Givenchy L’interdit, and I’m trying Chanel Gabrielle, have you tried them? X

[@ms.frederique]

I like Gabrielle but it's not for my skin...

I am a perfume addict! My favourite French perfumes are Chanel - Cristalle, Cristalle Eau Vert, No19 and No5. Dior - Eau Sauvage, Diorella, Miss Dior original and Dune Guerlain - Eau Cologne Imperiale, Vetiver, Herba Fresca and Mitsouko Yves St Laurent - Rive Gauche Clarins - Eau Dynamisante I know these aren't French but my other favourites are 4711 and Acqu Di Parma's Colonia I much prefer the older perfumes as I find new ones too sweet for me. As you can see I like fresh, Chypre and Woody. Great video. You are so elegant.

[@christinahenisey5463]

Oh, I loved this video. It brought back great memories... You are absolutely correct on testing a fragrance before purchase. I have had some hits and misses through the years. For me; in the '90's; I loved Lancome's "Tresor". I did feel like a "treasure" when I wore it and in the summertime; it was Lancome's "O de Lancome". So fresh and vibrant. For the past two years; while not French; I have loved Philosophy's "Ballet Rose" eau de parfum. It works well with my chemistry. I get so many complements. I do like to try new items but love the old too.

thank you so much for sharing and watching xxx 😋

One more great video from Frédérique🥰! Thank you for wonderful insights & tips! Well, "Mademoiselle" & "Gabrielle" de Chanel are those I use these days🌤. In winter time I like "Amarige" de Givenchy. Totally agree with you about "La vie est belle"...not my cup of tea either (too sweet).😉

OMG VioletFlame, please make yourself a priority for this. You don't need to wait for a special occasion either. Any day that you are alive is a special day and just as you make a point of paying all those household/car/insurance etc. bills, one bill that is important to pay for is for a nice perfume for you, the queen. Don't expect anyone to get it for you, get it and make it happen soon. Also, it doesn't have to be extremely expensive. $75.00 is enough to get a small bottle of something nice. Do it even if you have to save $10 in a cookie jar every month. You deserve it. I almost cried when I read your comment.

Thank you for the video. I was lucky to start the perfume journey of my life with Hermes, Guerlain & Chanel and that says it all. I have many more today but the first impression of a quality perfume stays forever.

Omg! This is one of my favorite videos because you talk about my big love; French perfumes! I love all the Rochas fragrance my favorite (Madame, Mademoiselle, Secret, Woman, Tocade, Femme Eau, & Byzance) Ô of Lancôme is a must because is so fresh & light. ISL (Rive Gauche), Dior (Jadore), Cartier (Panther), Givenchy (Dahlia Divin) & more! I'm a fanatic of French perfumes they're the beat ever!💗😍🥰💖💋

Sisley, Eau du Soir. It took me a month of perfume trying in France to pick this one amongst hundreds. I tried it on the first day and hated it, but kept the tester. Over the next weeks I kept smelling it and liking it more and more. It dries down to a totally different scent over time, and unveils an almost magical charisma. Have been wearing it since 1998. I like many others as well, but Eau du Soir is precious.

Love this video, learning about French perfumes, some I have not tried before. Chanel Allure, Dior Poison and Chanel #5 are my top three favorites. And Dunhill edition cologne for my husband, he refuses to use any other colognes.

[@carolinegamble2178]

I adore Eau de Merveilles 😍 It has been my go to for the last 10 years💞

[@milamou9352]

I have to wear perfume every day, irrespective of whether I'm going out or staying at home. Perfume is a must for me and I don't feel dressed without it. Even after a shower and going to bed, I'll apply something light. Perfume makes me happy. I have many, many perfumes that I enjoy wearing from time to time. It depends on the season and time of day but my signature perfume is Allure by Chanel and Sensuelle also by Chanel. I adore L'Ambre de Merveilles and 24 Fauboug and occasionally Twilly. Lighter eau de toilette faovourites for daytime are also by Hermes - Un Jardin Sur Le Nil, Le Jardin de Monsieur Li et Un Jardin Sur Le Toit. In winter time if I am going out, I love to wear Guerlain's Shalimar. It has sentimental value for me and always reminds me of my beloved mamma. Another old one for evenings out in winter is Amarige de Givenchy and Knowing by Estee Lauder. I just love, love, love perfume. 🥰💞

I also *love* Philosykos by Diptyque. After I first smelled it I couldn’t get it off my mind until I bought it. It’s based on the fig tree, so it’s woody, yet still a bit fruity and spicy. To me, it’s a balance of masculine and feminine. I still get excited whenever I find it. It’s like my secret friend, hidden in a bottle.

[@ilmondodisilvia8363]

Philosykos is wonderful! I'm wearing it since 2013, I could never change it, maybe with another Diptyque fragance. 😍

[@ms.frederique]

philos means friend and syko means fig ( not very attractive name for a greek speaker) i am soooo curius to smell it !!!

[@dlsolof]

@@kastrini Ohhhhh, maybe they mean “friend of a fig” or “fig friend”? It is a little strange (or cute in a childlike way). To an English speaker it just sounds exotic and alluring. Shows how much we know 😂
