Celebrating 20,000 Subscribers! Ask Me Anything on Persolaise Love At First Scent episode 408

[@scentanity2280]

I've always thought that this channel deserves millions of subscribers, but it's a mystery that it doesn't have! Congratulations to the "Long suffering" papa Persolaise. I like your unique, deep and academic take on fragrances. Thank you for all the efforts. 🙏

[@Persolaise]

This is very, very kind. Thank you.

[@FleetStBarber]

You're a breath of fresh air in this crazy fragcomm community. Thank you!

[@Persolaise]

That’s very kind, thank you.

[@oldenglishsheepdogfun5960]

How lovely to see this.. I have recommended your channel to everyone !! It’s so cosy, comforting and a lovely moment to spend watching and thinking of nothing else but perfume… I am a complete novice, so learning so much..

[@Persolaise]

This is such a wonderful comment - thank you.

[@nietzchec224]

Congratulations, Mr. P! I sincerely think you deserve more than 20K subbies. More like a million in my opinion.

[@Persolaise]

That’s too kind - thank you.

[@aromafromheaven]

Congrats..one of the best channels on KZbin by far

[@Persolaise]

Very, very kind, thank you.

[@latifa1020]

Congratulation Persolaise! I began appreciating fragrance more deeply during covid and you became my most comprehensive and trustworthy source of discovery through your writings and past podcasts. ps. i drenched my turtle neck sweater in Tabu as a teenager.

[@Persolaise]

Ah, I’m so pleased I’ve been able to ‘help’. Thank you for watching.

[@ipurvi]

Once again, Congratulations Mr Presolaise. Your channel deserves so much more attention. The discussion about not doing sponsored posts had me almost in tears. It is true how we live in a world that is more accessible, more open for information and yet more manipulated than ever before. Kudos to you for remaining true to your opinions and principles through all of that.

[@Persolaise]

It's very kind of you to write this. Like I said in the video, I absolutely do not consider myself to be some kind of saint, but I guess I am becoming more and more surprised by how small the minority I'm in really is.

[@nietzchec224]

It is quite interesting that you used to collect samples when you were a child. I used to love receiving samples from my mum’s friends. They would give my mum mini perfumes and samples and I would sniff them all to my heart’s content. One perfume that i smelt when i was probably 9 or 10 years old was Anais Anais. I was completely enamored by its scent and also the name was so unique for a kid that age. If I am not mistaken, that is when I have become so interested in perfumes.

[@Persolaise]

Ah, you see - I think that’s a very formative age. Thanks for watching.

[@RichMitch]

Congratulations on 20k!

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much, Rich!

[@annapi1121]

Congratulations Persolaise! Thankfull for your particular sort of honesty, knowledge, ease, and joy you bring into this fragrance loving community!!!

[@Persolaise]

Thank you so much!

[@heavenj7]

Oh congrats to my fav perfume man! I’ve been a bit bla and not on much but I was so happy to see this pop up!! Yay you deserve this! Woo

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much indeed.

[@kozziezeeable]

Congratulations on the milestone. Going from strength to strength since the humble beginnings of the pre-recorded episodes :) Don’t always catch the live due to the time difference but I still look forward to your videos each week, along with only a couple of others. Thank you for educating us along the way and not taking yourself too seriously. Return to some previous episodes regularly :) On one hand a part of us who have been here from the beginning enjoy the small and cosy crew as it’s felt like a journey; but can’t be unhappy that you’ve grown so much either. Glad you moved the blog to a vlog :)

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much indeed. I really appreciate this.

[@basicbaroque]

I love your little Lego perfume person. Congrats on the milestone, thanks for sharing your expertise on KZbin.

[@Persolaise]

Thank YOU for your kind words.

[@StelmaDesigns]

Congratulations on 20k subscribers Persolaise! This was so much fun to watch. It is a shame you can't get minis nowadays. I have seen Guerlain minis of L' Art et La Matiere collection sold on eBay and and other reseller platforms in tiny boxes and everything, but as much Guerlain as I have ordered over the years I have never been gifted one of them.

[@Persolaise]

Oh wow - I don’t think I’ve seen those minis. Thanks for watching.

[@liselotteamblat6953]

Congratulations Dariush and thank you for reminding us all our favorite teachers ! I don't even how I encountered your channel but more importantly I stuck around for the learning and the fun of the lives! And I have some favourites shared with you, Déclaration, Pamplelune, n°5 etc. I still have not met another scent aficionado in "real life" but I am not losing hope !

[@Persolaise]

This is very kind, thank you. And I’m sure you’ll meet one of us before too long.

[@auroraborealis9490]

What a milestone, congratulations. So grateful for your channel.

[@Persolaise]

Thank you so much!

[@JohmathanBSwift]

Congratulations on your 20,000 sub mark Persolaise. Would you ever consider having other KZbinrs who have their own fragrances like Peter of Fragrance View or Eugene for an interview? I think it would be insightful to hear how their love of perfume inspired them to create perfume. Again, happy 20,000 subs.

[@Persolaise]

Thank you very, very much indeed. And as it happens, I have already interviewed Eugen.

[@JohmathanBSwift]

@@Persolaise OK. Will watch.

[@phyllisiervello]

I love your Channel, even though I sometimes have a problem getting it, which is most likely because of our distances or the fact that my phone and other devices are getting very old. Your videos are always knowledgeable, interesting and fun to watch.

[@Persolaise]

That's a shame, but I'm sure the fault doesn't lie with your devices. I think KZbin's notifications sometimes aren't as efficient as they should be.

[@TColoradoF]

I’m so sad I missed this! I’ve spent the last week moving house. The best thing now is enjoying missed episodes as I unpack and reorganize. Congratulations, Persolaise, on 20k🎉

[@Persolaise]

Ooooh, all the best with the unpacking. Hope it's not too stressy.

[@rebekkakhigson]

Congratulations! 🥂 I very much appreciate your calm presence and clear and witty reviews!

[@Persolaise]

Thank you so much!

Thank you for covering my question! And yes, it certainly was the Robin Williams version of the Birdcage :)

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for watching.

[@shirleycantoni3152]

My grandmother is polish to. So is my father. ☺️ On My European travels I bought in London Penhaligon’s Elixir, and wrote it throughout Europe. It left an everlasting memory for me. And will always cherish it. So much so, I bought a bs k up bottle before it was discontinued. So now I have two.

[@shirleycantoni3152]

*wore*. Bardzo dobje perfume 😅

[@Persolaise]

It’s wonderful when a perfume evokes very specific memories.

[@joseluisrodriguezritte2734]

Great answer to the "good perfume for a trip”… i do that often because of what you explained!!!… the best tip ever for a trip!!! (Specially if its to a new place or country..) congrats on the 20K!!.. greetings from Mexico!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Persolaise]

You’re very kind - thank you.

[@Carengodt]

A big congratulations 🎉🍾 plus a big thank you 🙏. It is a pleasure to escape from the craziness of the world and share the passion for perfume with everyone else here. I always learn something new and enjoy my own perfumes all the more. Although, to my husband’s horror, my collection has grown considerably bigger since I started following you from 2019. 😂😂😂

[@Persolaise]

Those collections do have a way of growing! Thanks for watching.

[@VirginieNL]

Congratulations, you deserve so many more. You are my favorite perfume reviewer here on youtube. I just never make it for live streams.. hope nexxt time.!!

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much. I’m sure you’ll make it for a live soon.

[@emmagutierrez1408]

I remember Création by Ted Lapidus, very soft and smooth. And also Rumba, still magnificent today!

[@Persolaise]

I need to dig them out of my little box. Thanks for watching.

[@kevinthreat9781]

Choice between Amouage and F.M.? Wow what a tough question. I thoroughly enjoyed your milestone live! Thank you for your humor, knowledge and superb taste! Oud happens to be one of my fav ingredients as well. Wearing Strangelove NYC today❤.

[@Persolaise]

Thank you so much for your kind words.

[@a2zin125]

Congrats Dariush jan, off to 30K!!! Here's a question I didn't hear anyone ask: would you ever consider developing your own perfume line? And, do any of your students watch your channel or know of your olfactory moonlighting secret, LOL?! Here's a film noir scent, Jasmin et Cigarette always reminds me of a film noire femme fetal character.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much. My main focus is on writing. But if the circumstances were right, then I’m sure developing perfumes would be amazing.

[@alicewamp]

Really enjoy watching /listening to your videos. Often while I’m painting my face in the morning. As per choosing a perfume for travelling- I’d recommend to buy one on your travels. Someone suggested that to me and I bought Apres l’onde from a little shop in Venice last year. Now it always transports me. It’s such a lovely thing to have as a reminder

[@Persolaise]

That’s a superb suggestion. Thank you.

[@justaddlight]

🙌🙌🙌🎉🎉🎉 All hail poised and insightful geekery. 🤣 A big congratulations to you D! Imo, one of the few remaining reviewers worthy of the title. And truth be told, I think Habit Rouge edt would be in my trinity as well. 😉 Love those Santos, Safari and 900 minis too. Keep up the marvelous work.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much indeed.

Asja is fab, and so is the original Balenciaga Talisman. Thank you for your wonderful videos. This was so fun to watch! I know the lovely Madam Persolaise isn't interested in being interviewed, but i wonder if Mama Persolaise might. I love hearing from people who worked in the industry and seeing all the big launches. Just a thought, of course. Maybe for 30k!

[@Persolaise]

I’m going to have to smell Asja properly. Thanks for watching.

[@jackburton4484]

Congratulations monsieur Persolaise ! Well deserved and will be here for 50k👍

Congratulations! Now you see why, in a comment to your earlier video, I called the new version of Gourmand Coquin - Fève Something-Something

[@Persolaise]

Yes… and I genuinely keep forgetting what it’s called.

[@Prague4Introverts]

@@Persolaise But I am genuinely curious to discover a not too sweet cocoa concoction. Cocoa is like coconut - we associate coconut with desserts but it's also used in salty or savoury foods.

Is there a single scent/molecule parfum which is able to turn heads?
