I was optimistic about Comete but didn’t like it at all. I hope the next Les Exclusif is something more original and distinct, the line has enough soft, sweet pink scents. Something more in line with Sycomore or Cuir De Russie would be amazing.

[@marytackescangelose7532]

My 2 favorites of the Chanel Les Exclusives are Coromandel and Comete ... no question! Coromandel covers fall and winter and Comete covers spring and summer. I think Comete has such lasting power and the dry down is fresh with some kind of sophistication. I would put Chanel 22 , Le Lion and Sycamore as the total top 5. I really enjoy your reviews, they are great!

[@Jessinblackandwhite]

I went into the boutique to buy a bottle of 1957 and left with Comete instead. It creates such a comforting scent bubble.

[@janetzak8592]

You are my favorite so glad you are reviewing

[@dr.dedrickminor1184]

Mine too

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Thank you both!! :)

[@Malomethibos88]

The price for me is just sky rocket, i can't keep up!

[@suzigti92]

I agree! There are so many other great fragrances at a fraction of Chanel prices

[@TradeMarcmultimedia]

They are actually using a cherry note, a specific French cherry that is savoury. They told me this at their VIP launch for Comete

[@luannmoody13]

I love Iris scents. Looking forward to that video.

[@FayeCNL]

Chanel certainly smells amazing on my mum, not so much on me. Chanel does have a DNA for sure

[@sarahwelty9223]

I've just bought Cometé without trying it first but I love cherry and almond notes so I think that I will like it. I have the whole Les Exclusive range and my favourites are Gardenia, Sycomore, Misia and No18. Great review thanks 👍

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@mrnorthpresents]

I really like it. I got a 200ml tester of it a couple of weeks ago.

[@isobel64]

nice. how?

[@cosala1988]

Where?

[@clairetaylor7989]

I really enjoy it. I get so many compliments!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Good to hear!

[@VickyLeevickytylee]

I am about to buy this one!!! I love it!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Awesome!!

[@victormeuwissen288]

The name Comète is taken from the Comete necklace in diamonds, designed by Gabrielle Chanel in 1932! (Also a fragrance LEDC 1932) The design themes of that ‘byoux de diamants’ collection were stars, bows, fringes, feathers. These diamant jewelry designs are now part of Chanel haute jouailleri, to be bought at Plave Vendôme No 18 ( also a LEDC fragrance) the metallic linked CC logo on the top op the box is to represent diamants and the actual comete necklace is as a 3 months limited edition embossed in the box. Like the fragrance, not totally love it and it smells different, more musky when layered with the Les Exclusifs De Chanel body cream. For me the top note is ‘amarena’ accord in stead of cherry blossom.

[@alisondavis2601]

I have it and I like it for Spring & Summer. I put the Les Exclusives oil on first to help it last. I also like 1957, No22, and also Coromandel and 31 Rue Cambon for Autumn and Winter.

[@alisondavis2601]

I almost forgot I have Misia too and like it for Spring/Sunmer.

[@lucaluca9704]

Beautiful scent Comete, purchased last week in Europe..Love Les Exclusifs from Chanel ❤

[@Mia-es1rp]

Its too cherry blossom for me. I love iris but not a cherry blossom fan, its over bearing here. I have 11 of the exclusifs but im glad I sample this first especially w price hikes. Glad its better for you!

[@cheapimitation2242]

It’s not a big wow, but very well done and super enjoyable to wear, the dry down and trail are so nice!

[@LizLyonsPhD]

As someone who has invested in Chanel products for a long time, I am not shocked by that price, but how do they expect younger buyers to afford it? The box is exquisite and elegant but I am with you, the iconic logo should be black. I am surprised to hear that heliotrope is almondy. Not sure I am crazy about cherry fruit, but am not sure I know what the blossom smells like. I have so much to learn about the molecules behind these scents. Along that line I just bought the book Scent: A Natural History of Fragrance by Elise Vernon Pearlstine to get me up to speed so I am more conversant with the data that you have at your fingertips. I do love the inclusion of Iris in perfumes and look forward to your video on it. Btw, it is so nice to have fruit trees with such a long growing season here in California, as your mom does. We have quite a number and it makes for such a lovely environment. ❤

[@KayKay-fc5sg]

Great review. Thank you!

[@janetzak8592]

Great review thank you

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Thanks for watching!

[@juliam.4569]

Comete is very strong floral. It stays floral on your skin the whole day. So it is definitely for floral lovers 😄 price is not a factor for me since other brands as Tom Ford cost even more. So this price is kindda expected

[@shirleycantoni3152]

Thank you Sebastian, Comete is beautiful warm and cuddly.

[@patrickbateman4541]

I'm receiving a Comete sample with my most recent Chanel order! I'm excited

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@MidwestBetty]

The cherry blossom and aldehydes are not there for the life of the fragrance for me. The drydown is musky, almondy heaven. Olivier does musks very, very well imo. This would layer very well with Misia!

[@Jessinblackandwhite]

I agree. The drydown is sublime.

[@isobel64]

I feel like this is Chanel's response to Dior's Gris Dior which has been a bit of a hit with the younger generation especially with the star of that Wednesday show on Nextflix being the face of it.

[@kensears5099]

I recall from my youngest years, going back 60 years now, the smell of Chanel No. 5, that my grandmother and my aunts would wear. I think my mother might have worn it sometimes, too. I loved it. It was hypnotizing, transfixing. Since I got into fragrances, about 4 years ago, I have from time to time pondered that and wondered whether a man could get away with wearing it. I mean, just because it smells so great. I'm not out to seduce anybody, I just want to enjoy that astounding scent! I barely care even whether anybody else notices. And I'm definitely open to unisex fragrances, even ones that lean feminine (I love Ombre des Merveilles, also Armani Privé Thé Yulong), so I'm ready to "push the envelope," as they say. But when I've done the sniff test of Chanel No. 5 in shops....... Nooooo.... So disappointing, but it really is wa-a-a-y too feminine. I've heard that some men wear it, but it's a no-go for me. I want it around but not on me! I keep thinking, what's the closest thing to Chanel No. 5 that has just enough of a masculine edge to let a guy get away with wearing it? I would love to know, and I'm almost certain I'd spring the bucks for it!

[@pyewacket2112]

I love Comete ❤

[@jts4248]

Got to try it out

[@Jeniveve]

I bought this after smelling it on my girl friend. The trail is beautiful. We’re 35-40. Is this the younger crowd you speak of? 😂

[@funeka691]

I still haven't gotten into Chanel. There's something to be said aboout that vintage vibe so many of their fragrances have.

[@isobel64]

have you smelled any of les exclusifs? Le Lion for instance is nothing like the others

[@amasterfuldesktop4935]

That’s what great about Chanel

[@kensears5099]

Your description is making me think of L'Homme Idéal Extrême. Very much so. I'm writing this while watching. Who knows, maybe you'll actually mention it.

[@trishabowkus7885]

I’d love to be able to get a sample of Chanel Comete before purchasing. Personally I think the prices of Chanel are outrageous. I’d purchase this fragrance only with some type of discount or sale. I’ve never been a fan of Chanel no 5 so not sure if I’d enjoy the #5 Leau. Anyway thanks so much for the video and keeping us all informed.

[@ryanhuerta1024]

I sniffed this one last month.. Iris bomb if I remember correctly.. unisex leaning pretty.

[@victoria4671]

Are there any similar fragrances that you would recommend? Also any realistic or sour cherry fragrances?

[@lindahawthorn6075]

@victoria4671 have you tried Guerlains Cherry Oud from the L’Arts and Matiere collection? That’s quite a sour cherry fragrance.

[@victoria4671]

@@lindahawthorn6075 im pretty new to fragrance so no i have not; but i will look out for them, thanks!

[@kategarrity944]

Are you planning to review new Fendi collection?

[@joseluisrodriguezritte2734]

See? Maceration! 😂 I tried “New Look” at a Dior store; it lasted on me the whole afternoon. Bought a bottle and no, doesn’t smell like that taster at the store and doesn’t last on me that long. Iheard that testers get used many times a day so they get oxygen, and this gives a "push" to the scent. What i heard, but when you said "this doesn’t smell like the one at the store" reminded my experience with Dior. I tried Comete and dint like it much. What i don see is "the younger generation" spending $500 in a scent. They are not that interested…

[@quester09]

the price is a barrier, but I'd like to sample it

[@kensears5099]

Might you mention Momentum Unbreakable in your iris video tomorrow, I wonder? I'm mad for it.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I don’t know this one, but the video was shot week ago. I’ll have to search that fragrance out though. 😀

[@BiancaNozzy]

Comete was love at first sniff for me. To me it's extremely powdery, with a touch of florals. I am female and would say it leans feminine to me.

[@elani6507]

Wife tried a sample and loved it. So I got it as Xmas present all wrapped up already! This is a female leaning fragrance in my opinion.

[@nomado3650]

I thought it was released in March?

[@shirleycantoni3152]

Comete Reminds me of Chanel’s 1957

About price increases, I heard estee lauder is going for a second price increase in July 1 2024, so that’s gonna be a second increase this year. Did you hear that absurd too?

[@sebastianveri8602]

But chanel isn’t under estee lauder

@@sebastianveri8602I know, that’s why I said “About price increases, …”. The increase I mentioned is gonna impact Tom Ford, Frederic Malle, Killian etc 😓 and it’s going to be the second in 2024 🫥

I love it!!!!

[@mustafajakubovic2204]

Still think this is are three best one Le Lion, Coromandel and Sycomore

[@lunamypet]

I laugh at the old grandma comments because those women at the time were young and wore Chanel No5. I can’t wait until the next generation says the same thing about the perfumes of now. 😂

[@bettybbags]

Exactly, Erba Pura will be a geriatric scent

[@stx7389]

Comette is amazing 2-3h later ❤

[@justynasamp4731]

I love my comete!

this sounds like my style..please let us know if it can be worn for summer heat 🥵 or whether it will last..

[@joshuaesposito5409]

Finallyyyyyyyyy

[@Lulu-kt6gr]

Can you share what you’ve done for your skin? You look 10 years younger than a year ago.

[@poshshick]

😊 I just ordered this perfume when you started the video it did not sound like you liked it 😂and I was like oh! No 😅but then it seemed it got better ❤❤😂

[@JT-rx1eo]

The only Les Exclusifs I have is Boy. I like that one. Fougere accord wrapped in Chanel powdery aldehydic floral DNA. Full bottle. I tried a decant of Jersey, which is similar to Boy. I like Boy better. This Comete sounds too feminine. Boy and even Jersey are more unisex to me.

[@mingailem8519]

Which fragrances does it remind you of?

[@pamelabrown8467]

Seem like they’re trying to reach the young. Yes the price is🤬. It reminds me of Obessed for women by Calvin Klein the bottle

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Oh I haven’t tried the Obsessed.

[@ToTheWind]

It's Comète.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Yes when you have people assisting there's always screw ups!

[@viggenone]

Nope, powdery fragrances are not for me and for those prices... no thank you! 😆 Guess no Chanels in my collection. Thanks for the review Sebastian!!!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Fair enough!

[@isobel64]

Le Lion isnt powdery. get your nose on it when you can

[@PianoMelodyNotes]

❤

[@shave-a-thon3415]

I see your designer bottles are proudly displayed again with JPG’s Scandal Absolu leading the way. Have you posted the review for that yet?

[@newman3313]

This video seems WAY off your game. The box design is limited, to celebrate their Comete necklace! Cherry blossom was a little strategic by them, it was released right near Chinese New Year, so to appeal to a particular demographic at launch.

[@moondust013]

I can see this yes but it grows on you

[@vargaleria]

The L'Eau bottle is just a copy of their very popular and expensive (yet mediocre) hand cream.

[@SmellsAddicted]

Cyanide has a nice almond smell...too bad you can only smell it once 😅

[@SmellsAddicted]

I haven't found a Chanel that smells good on me.

[@olgaefros4990]

Didn’t work for me, nothing special

[@VanessaMaddoux]

Chanel is such a miss. The brand name is so well known but the actual fragrances simply would not sell if they didn't have the name. Dior has remained modern and has made the shift through the years while remaining a classic brand. Chanel.... goodness no. The mens line is much better at staying relevant. I just don't know how their women's line sells at all. And seriously.... chance way Tendre is just a pink bottle of Marc Jacobs Daisy.

[@Alexxf35]

Chanel ain't worth it. So much better stuff out there for much less.

[@luannmoody13]

I love Iris scents. Looking forward to that video.
