I adore Loulou and Ysatis ❤️❤️❤️ you could live only with the two of them and not need another one ever.

[@lukeparfums]

So, are those your only two scents for life then?🙂 I shall need a few more.😅 Thanks for tuning in!

[@nancymarkiewicz8123]

My only two scents would be Ysatis and Private Collection

[@lukeparfums]

@@nancymarkiewicz8123 Lovely choices!😊

[@H.A.-zr2wc]

The 80's and 90's are my 2 favourite perfume decades❤❤❤ I was so bold back then and after the horrible 00's (a couple of amazing perfumes aside but this is my least favourite decade) i'm happy i found myself again and dont care anymore if people tell me i smell vintage or like a 'grandma'.... I love LouLou. I didnt appreciate it back then but i adore it now

[@lukeparfums]

Mine too. This is what it's all about-being yourself and wearing whatever perfume you like. It’s just scented water after all. I couldn't care less if someone thinks I smell dated. That's interesting; I went through something similar with LouLou. I used to find it much more challenging, but I absolutely love it now.🙂

[@H.A.-zr2wc]

​@@lukeparfumsYou are so right! It took me years of wearing 'social acceptable' perfumes before i was confident to wear what i love again. Thats why i detest the 00's era. That just wasnt/isnt me. Being told you smell like catpiss/ a grandma or musty is so much worse than being called candy floss 😂😂😂

[@lukeparfums]

Believe it or not, I'm not big on 2000s fragrances either. Come to think of it, I don’t have any of the 'trendy' ones, apart from Coco Mademoiselle. Oh no, I hope no one actually said that about your perfume. I wouldn’t mind musty or grandma, but cat piss is downright rude.😳

[@H.A.-zr2wc]

@@lukeparfums sadly its true, i was wearing Ysatis 🥲. I guess they just cant handle smelling fabulous🤣

[@nancymarkiewicz8123]

The 80's had some great perfumes. I tried Diva by Ungaro and I really liked it.😊 Have you tried Diva?

[@rosem709]

I love these perfumes! I had Lou LOu in the 8-s, and i loved it, it was unique at the time a soft incence & white creamy florals, it definitaly had a mysterious dark vibe, the new one does not seem the same to me though the dry down is similar. I adore the Chanel COCO it is my current favortite, i have the EDP and its glorious baroque luxe scent, i will get the edt too...just because its ab it more peachy. perfumes from the 80s and 90s are among my favorites.

[@lukeparfums]

That’s awesome!🙂 I find the new LouLou sweeter, more “tropical” floral, and less smoky than the vintage. “Baroque luxe scent” is a spot on description of Coco. Thanks for watching!🙂

[@lovaloo763]

My mother was coming of age in the 80s and still wears some of her favorites from this decade (Elizabeth Arden Red Door & CK Obsession!) I've tested most of the 80s releases you mentioned in the video and some of the ones you didn't. I like to buy mini bottles online to try out older releases before committing, it's economical and they're so cute! My favorite 80s perfumes: 1) Dior Poison 2) Estee Lauder Beautiful 3) Chanel Coco 4) Estee Lauder Knowing 5) Guerlain Samsara 6) Givenchy Ysatis

[@lukeparfums]

Hello, and thanks for sharing! I totally forgot about Red Door. Miniature bottles are a fantastic way to test fragrances; I have quite a few myself. It seems we share most favourites, except for Knowing, which I don't like because it brings back certain unwanted memories. Thanks for tuning in!🙂

[@H.A.-zr2wc]

80' perfumes i still wear: LouLou, Obsession, Eternity, Paloma Picasso, Passion, Coco, Poison, Joop! and Joop! Le Bain , Diva

[@lukeparfums]

Great picks! I need to revisit Joop Le Bain.🙂

[@H.A.-zr2wc]

​@@lukeparfums You really should, Le Bain is screechy at first but the dry down is amazing, i love it so much. I also still use Boucheron, also a huge love and i think you would live it too

[@joannathesinger770]

I bought Diva a couple of weeks ago. I never wore it in the 1980's.

[@LeonieSherif]

Love Lou Lou- reminds me of my mother ❤

[@lukeparfums]

That’s amazing! Thanks for watching!🙂

[@joannathesinger770]

I wore the original Gianni Versace for Women from the moment it was released in 1981 to today even though it has been long discontinued...and until recently, it was my only and signature scent. I was a governess for a woman who worked for Vogue magazine at the time and she brought me a sample from the magazine. I immediately fell in love! It's considered a Chypre Floral today on Fragrantica, but at one point it was considered an Chypre Oriental because of the spices. Prior to that, I wore Paris, Ciara, and Oscar de la Renta. I realize that millions of men and women around the world adore Chanel #5 but I cannot abide it! It's only been recently that I've learned enough about parfums that I can articulate what I didn't care for...and that is the green and aldehydic green compounds that were fused together in an overdose...deliberately...in the creation of the fragrance. I ordered Diva by Ungaro a few weeks ago since it shared some of the notes I adore in Gianni Versace for Women, and I'm considering ordering a few other vintage fragrances if for no other reason than nostalgia to adorn my parfum tray. Today, I find myself drawn to gourmand vanillic and berry fragrances, but I still like my spices and citrus notes. And oakmoss, which I know is controversial. It may be the reason--other than his death--that the OG was discontinued because oakmoss itself became controversial in the parfum industry in the 1990's. To my nose, it completes a fragrance in a way that no other ingredient can.

[@lukeparfums]

Hi there. Oh, that’s so interesting! I haven’t smelt the original Gianni Versace but I imagine it’s more oriental than floral, judging from the notes. I’m not the biggest fan of No.5 either. I don’t mind the aldehydes but I just don’t love the fragrance as a whole. I like the pure parfum version which is all about the sandalwood and vanilla… Divine. Diva is another opulent vintage scent. I find it slightly similar to Paloma Picasso. I couldn’t possibly agree more with you about oakmoss… it’s that finishing touch that adds refinement to a fragrance. I don’t know if you’ve tried YSL Yvresse but it’s one is a peachy rose violet scent with a beautiful mossy base that rounds out the entire composition. If there weren’t any oakmoss, it would probably be just a generic fruity floral scent. I find that perfumers often replace oakmoss with patchouli in newer compositions but it doesn’t produce quite the same effect. Not to say that I don’t like patchouli, I do, but oakmoss adds depth and sophistication to a fragrance. Thank you for watching!🙂

[@christieo1761]

I love Lou Lou, Poison, Ysatis and Coco. The vintage formulas are unbelievable. 😍 I spray ONE spray on one leg, put my pants on and go forth into the day! Thanks for the reviews.

[@lukeparfums]

Hi there. Vintage formulas are indeed beastmode, and that’s a great spraying tip if you don’t want the scent to be in your face all day long.🙂 Thanks for watching!

[@ThePamelaJordan]

Coco is still THAT GIRL!

[@lukeparfums]

That was the idea behind Coco. Remember the beautiful Ines de la Fressange in the television ad? She was 'une nouvelle femme,' someone who didn't care, and set trends. Just like Coco herself.

[@fabscentsperfume6390]

Lou Lou is just amazing💙 I will always have it in my collection

[@lukeparfums]

It is! Thank you for watching!🙂

[@m.w.1121]

Ysatis has been my favourite scent since the 90’s 😍. I also have a vintage bottle, but it’s turned. I’ll keep the vintage bottle for display. I love that bottle so much. The new 2023 bottle is so boring. I have 8 backups which are manufactured in 2013, because the juice in the new bottle is further diluted. Absolutely stunning scent; there is nothing like Ysatis.

[@lukeparfums]

Hi there. That’s a lot of backups!😄 I agree with you about everything you said. The new version is a shadow of its former self. There is one that comes close to it, but it’s sadly long discontinued. Rochas Byzance. Thanks for watching!🙂

[@neekromancer]

I love COCO!! I started wearing it as a teen in the 90s. It's so nice to hear someone talking about it instead of #5.

[@lukeparfums]

I’ll choose Coco over No.5 anytime. Thanks for watching!🙂

[@besetterobinson7468]

I have Poison and Miss Dior these two will always be in my collection

[@lukeparfums]

That’s awesome. Thanks for watching!🙂

[@Coastalhamptonstyle]

When I think of the 80s I think of the iconic Valentino perfume in that gorgeous bottle. It got discontinued in the 90s. It was amazing

[@lukeparfums]

It’s a shame that one got discontinued. I wish I could try it. Thanks for watching!🙂

[@eauceylon1891]

what a wonderful selection. I need to try Ysatis

[@waynemartin4881]

Thanks Luke. Great video.

[@lukeparfums]

Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!🙂

[@sophialee2630]

In the 80’s I wore Dior Poison, Calvin Klein Obsession, and Givenchy Ysatis. I loved Chanel Coco but never had the chance to buy it.

[@lukeparfums]

That’s amazing! Thanks for watching.🙂

[@annoleary387]

Oh I love 80's and 90's fragrances. I had the same bottle you have of Paris but unfortunately long used up now!

[@lukeparfums]

It’s such a pretty bottle, isn’t it? I found it on eBay. Thanks for tuning in!🙂

[@mic396]

Lou Lou is beautiful like synthetic smells there unique!

[@lukeparfums]

It definitely is unique. Thanks for watching!🙂

[@baileymay5476]

Liz Claiborne, beautiful, red door that was my 80s scents

[@lukeparfums]

That’s awesome. Thanks for watching!🙂

[@JustinHight-py2sw]

Fahrenheit,and Passion are amazing! I need to get Anteaus and Poison and exclamation

[@lukeparfums]

Passion is really something else!🙂 Thanks for watching!

[@patsalas5170]

My favorite perfumes, now called vintage were Rive Gauche by YSL, Lauren by ralph lauren, Paris by YSL, Ysatis by Givenchy, Realm, Estee Lauder youth dew, and Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden

[@lukeparfums]

Great list! Thanks for watching!🙂

[@hybamajed3614]

My signature scent was loulou blue I adored it. The OG loulou I never could stand. So sad that the blue flanker was discontinued.

[@lukeparfums]

I know which one you mean… I wish I could smell it.🙂 Thanks for watching.

[@hekatewhispers]

I have a 1988 Poison esprit and it smells voluptuously purple, juicy with a sweet peppery note and sillage is nuclear. The current fomulation pales in comparison.

[@lukeparfums]

Vintage Poison s truly something else. Thanks for watching!🙂

[@xdra31]

Loved Ysatis. Don’t forget Giorgio of Beverly Hills too!

[@lukeparfums]

Another great one! Thanks for watching!🙂

[@dr.claire.perfume]

I actually had no clue Sun was from the 80s 😱 I need to try it, that old style sun cream is something I love.

[@lukeparfums]

Hello Claire! It doesn't look like an '80s fragrance, does it? It's the o.g. beach scent, from before coconut was a thing. But beware if you’re not partial to “doll-head” scents.🙂

[@dr.claire.perfume]

@@lukeparfums yeah it really could go either way. At one point it was super duper cheap, maybe £7? I should have just tried it 😂

[@beautyscents7143]

🎉 For me Poison smells a bit like that smell in the church. For me is very strong

[@lukeparfums]

Hi there. You're right; there's definitely a substantial amount of smoky incense in there.🙂 Thanks for tuning in.

[@bluespangle]

Joy by Jean Patou was my favourite in the 80's. I recently saw one (SP 7.5ml) at a surprisingly reasonable price. I bought it but was disappointed - the formula seems to have changed. It did not have the exhilarating depth and width that I used to love, but just too sweet.

[@lukeparfums]

Joy is a wonderful classic fragrance. I’m sorry to hear that it’s not the same anymore. Thanks for watching!🙂

[@JustinHight-py2sw]

Haven't even started tye video but saw vintage 80s fragrance and i had to subscribe. Have you seen Ramsey and Rich Mich's channels?

[@lukeparfums]

Thanks for subscribing! Welcome.🙂 No, I don’t think I have.

[@JustinHight-py2sw]

@@lukeparfums you will love those channels, especially Ramsey's he mostly talks about vintage fragrances. Look up Ramsey and the key words " this year in perfume" it's similar content to yours and I think you would love it. He loves stuff like Anteaus,Mitsuko, Shalimar, Opium for women Fahrenheit, Azzaro pour Homme, Kouros,Van Cleef and Arpels pour Homme ect. I'll tell him about your channel. He never takes money to act like he likes a fragrance. I even recommend some fragrances he hadn't tried before and he loved them and featured them on his channel. Give the channel a look up.

[@ThePamelaJordan]

🥰 great video

[@lukeparfums]

Thanks for watching!🙂

[@subrosa7mm]

Exclamation was a huge scent worn. Seems like we were team poison or team exclamation is what I remember in the 80s.

[@lukeparfums]

Exclamation, you’re right. I had the chance to try it a few years ago and it really reminded me of Trèsor. Thanks for watching!🙂

[@dantebryant515]

I’m thinking about buying a vintage co co I love co but I’m afraid it will not smell right . Do you think it will smell good ?

[@lukeparfums]

I've had both versions and liked them both. Whether a vintage smells good depends on how it was kept. Buying vintage is always a bit risky. Thanks for watching!

[@xdra31]

Could never get on with LouLou, always made me nauseous.

[@lukeparfums]

Lou Lou is definitely a polarising scent. Thanks for watching!🙂

[@leahmiranda8359]

Hi Luke! I don’t have LouLou or Sun😊 I have the others😅 I have the same Poison and Ysatis bottles. I always enjoy both. I always thought that I didn’t care for herbs, except for cloves (if that’s an herb and not a spice🤔).😁 But look at Poison with coriander!🤔 It enters the room before you do…..and stays for three days after you leave??😅You stunk up the room?😂😂😂 Coco….🫠🫠🫠 Do you speak French? I took 2 years of Spanish….Did me absolutely no good in Tucson…where MANY people speak Spanish! I learned much more as a production supervisor in a factory here. I had to communicate with my operators….and did not do very well, I fear…….🤭🫣 It was so nice seeing you today!

[@lukeparfums]

Hi Leah! I’m always happy to see a comment from you. Cloves are a spice, I think, and I enjoy using them in cooking. Ysatis is indeed that kind of fragrance!😂 While I know French well enough, I'm not 100% fluent. I picked up some Spanish by watching soap operas.🤣 Oh, I see, you’re very close to the Mexican border then. But I agree, communicating in a language in an everyday situation and learning it from a textbook (for however many years) are two entirely different things. I seem to have the same problem with French. Have a nice rest of the week!🙂

[@leahmiranda8359]

@@lukeparfums Yes, we're 66 miles from the Mexican border. My husband drove a tanker truck. He used to deliver plastic material to factories in Mexico as well as the US. More often than not, the line was so long coming back out, he couldn't cross back into the US before the border closed for the night. I used to drive down, bring him home, and take him back the next morning to bring the truck back across. I didn't want him to have to sleep in his truck ( no sleeper in those trucks). Border towns aren't very safe........ I hope I didn't bore you into a coma!😂

[@flavasauce8945]

I have small vintage versions of Ysatis and Poison, both are incredible. I’d only add Krizia Teatro All Scala and Paco Tabanne La nuit, which I’ve been lucky enough to hunt down, and I’d be set for 80’s all stars.

[@lukeparfums]

@@leahmiranda8359 Of course not. It’s interesting to get a glimpse into your life from time to time.🙂 I looked up pictures of Tucson out of curiosity, and wow, you're actually surrounded by the desert!🌵

[@lukeparfums]

@@flavasauce8945 That’s awesome! I've been searching for a bottle of Teatro Alla Scala but could never find one at a good price because it’s discontinued. La Nuit seems like a fantastic chypre scent. Thanks for watching!🙂
