EASY TO WEAR FRAGRANCES | TheTopNote

[@CapMIam]

Anyone else reach for their own fragrances when Cherie launches into her descriptive narratives ? Just me? I'm okay with that.... 🥰 Most approachable fragrance currently (Montale's Intense Cafe and any cozy fragrance for that matter because it's -10 degrees in the dead of winter here !)

[@TheTopNote]

This makes me happy to hear you go digging in your own wardrobe! 🥰

[@ThePerfumeNest]

That is SOOOOOO cute Matt's friends go and sniff your collection! I love that Matt brings them to see it.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

I LOVE Blondine. LOVE.

[@TheTopNote]

Yaas!

[@IlonaHel]

Watching this a bit late. Hope you will do another one about your favorite brand and those which are not Worth the price.

[@AnnieDaddo]

Cherie,Cherie,Cherie..never smelled a lilac flower?? 😯"Where have you been?"..some in our front Melbourne jardin next time you're here.A great episode as always and you are descriptive and as eloquent as ever.💐🙏

[@TheTopNote]

Not visiting other people’s beautiful gardens obviously! 😍

Working from home, I usually wear this type of perfumes when I have to go at the office. Molecules 01 + Iris, Tardes, Chance Eau Tendre or Argos Pour Femme are my go too lately. I don’t like musc but I do love Narcisso Rodriguez in the rectangular bottle. I also wear Poudrée but I decluttered the red cube I had. for Her in the black bottle is also very approachable to my nose.

[@celinelanglois5185]

Great topic, thank you ! I love watching your videos😊 You are right about Poudrée, it is pronounced pou-dray, and it means « powdered « , like a woman who wears powder. Your accent was perfect !

[@TheTopNote]

Thanks Lovely! Oh I’m glad I didn’t butcher it haha it’s one thing to google pronunciation, it’s another to make your mouth do it 😂

[@sweetpeace5]

Yes! It’s a powdery musk scent-hence the name poudree! Lovely-and I often wear to bed as well!❤

[@breannacarels6479]

Oh no. Sorry to hear you are still sore! Fun idea for a video. I actually dislike a couple of these: NR Poudree and Drop D’Issey. I’ve grown up with Lilacs and have them in our yard and have been on the hunt for the perfect lilac scent for a while now. Drop D’Issey was too sweet for me to wear, but I’m sure it would be pleasant to smell on someone else. I always try and pick something likeable when I know I’ll be in close proximity to people. Meetings, or appointments or meeting new people. I also go for clean, musky, pretty florals, or vanilla.

[@illiona3289]

Could you please share with us which perfumes you found in your hunt for a perfect lilac scent? Never managed to find one which did not feel synthetic 😢

[@Twokays13]

I have iris malikhan and it is in the same family as oh la la so I am trying so hard not to get oh la la when it is finally back in stock. Great review!

[@boundforparis]

Wonderful List! ❤

[@TheTopNote]

Thanks! 😊

[@rebeccatargett9785]

Oh thank you so much Cherie! Great video! Probably for me-it’s Replica Lazy Sunday Morning…it’s clean and aldehydic in its freshness. xxxxx

[@TheTopNote]

Yay! That’s a pretty one!

[@dcjimr1]

Aw, sorry your shoulder is still bothering you. Hope it feels better soon! I had to go find my sample of Xi'an to sniff along. I'd forgotten how nice it is. Also love Oh La La and definitely need to try the rest of these.

[@petunia23d98]

Great topic! I love Splendiris! For me it’s much as you described. I get a beautiful humid Iris floral with ambrette in the dry down. I’m curious if you notice it as well? Maybe it’s the Vetiver that I actually smell? In any case it is my favorite Dusita.

[@TheTopNote]

I imagine the ambrette contributed to the “vegetal” smell for me :)

[@theresa3]

Love your vibe Cherie💜 Take arnica for your shoulder! Both the pellets and lotion💞 Love talking everything perfumes 💐

[@TheTopNote]

Thanks lovely! I have not heard or arnica pellets but I have been hitting the cream. I Will see if I can get some! Xx

[@oscardog6719]

Hi Cherie. Yes Poudre is still around. Chemist Warehouse has it on sale for $79.99 for 90ml. Might have to pop in to my local CW to have a sniff. 😬

[@jillshorten3457]

Beautiful list Cherie! Oh La La is a favorite. One of these days I will test Belle Ame - I think it’s right up my alley 💜

[@TheTopNote]

I think it will be Jill! Definitley get your hands on a sample xx

[@insaneandvain6188]

I loved your description of Xi’an…spot on !

[@TheTopNote]

🙏❤️

[@julieg_quebec-julesselivre8641]

Hi Cherie, you are dangerous for my « need » to grow my Ormonde Jayne collection! 😅

[@TheTopNote]

Oops! haha

[@elizabetahrstic5094]

Great choice. And video as always

[@TheTopNote]

Thanks again! X

[@lindaf4103]

Motel Paradise is up and running. Their discovery set is sold up

[@kellielambert2184]

Hooray - Blondine is in the list. 😊

[@TheTopNote]

😍

[@lanaconstanti-nova6379]

Mojave Ghost is one of my favourite. 😂Love at first sniff... Damn it . Too late for me to marry your hubby's mate😅😅😅... Love to see you are having a perfect Friday night. I am hesitant between Mojave Ghost or Elixir by Roja to order right now, the last one I have is nearly finished...

[@justaddlight]

Interesting picks! And is it strange that I know what you mean by "french soap"? 😄 Florals of the region maybe? Just like italian soap to me instantly brings to mind citruses and herbs. 🌿Absolutely agree with the opening of Splendiris. 😉

[@TheTopNote]

Yes totally agree! Funny how these regions have their own scent profiles in our brains haha

[@lu_re7198]

This was wonderful. My Mojave Ghost hair perfume smells mysterious (lasts ~15 min.).😂. How long does the perfume last? My most approachable perfumes are: Rose Pivoini by Nicolai Parfumeur, Malabah by Penhaligans (sweet spicy) and a Mimosa Pour Moi by L’Artisan Parfumeur. Wish list: La Chasse aux Papillons by L'Artisan Parfumeur (light tubarose) and maybe Desert Ghost perfume.

[@TheTopNote]

oh haha I have the hair perfume and the perfume, I think they last about the same on me but I definitely get more than 15 mins. I wonder if you are a bit anosmic to it I have a sneaky feeling there's quite a lot of aromachemicals in it? Oh! Rose Pivoine is lovely! I have a travel size of that one and thank you for reminding me about it. ❤

[@_-Anna-_]

Love your list! I always appreciate your perspectives and insights. ps- Would you believe that Narcisco Rodriguez fragrances are not readily available at all US department stores? At least on the west coast. I’ve only smelled one and I had to order a sample!

[@TheTopNote]

Wow! Over here they are in every department store and also a few chemists (drugstores) thank you for sharing! I had a feeling I was being generalist when I said that, I’m glad you clarified. It’s a good reminder that not all regions get certain things. ❤️

[@_-Anna-_]

@@TheTopNote It’s an interesting topic, isn’t it. Do we love how accessible, for the most part, products are to us in this modern world? Or is there something to be said about the intrigue of not having items within easy reach? I’m of two minds about it, actually! You probably have good thoughts on this, as I take it that Australia doesn’t always have immediate access to certain products? What’s your take? Cheers and thanks, as always!

[@Esh486]

Such a great list! If you smelled Pikovaya Dama by Xerjoff, how do you compare it do Dia Woman? which one do you prefer?

[@TheTopNote]

They are very different. Dia smells more clean and floral soapy, PD is a little more waxy to me with an ambery base. PD smells more formal and though I can wear it in the day I would be more likely to reach for Dia in the day and PD for an evening event.

[@Esh486]

Thank you so much for your reply, I really appreciate it. Is Dia long lasting on you?@@TheTopNote

[@aimeeanderson9258]

Did you ever buy white on white xerjoff???

[@TheTopNote]

Hi Aimee! No not yet. Knowing me I will wait until someone is selling secondhand lol

[@KarolinaPL06]

Hello, have a good weekend.

[@TheTopNote]

Thank you, and you! 🙏
