Hi Sebastian! I loved your storytelling in your fragrance journey video. actually emailed you about a special winter scent im looking for, & i wish there were more reviews on Forsaken by Kerosene because it might be what im looking for.... ✨❄️⛄️🥥 just a side note, Youre also the ONLY reviewer i found on moena 12/69 by carta, which i happened to discover in a local shop and fell in love with... i actually got one of the last (big) bottles. ✨ Its a nice place to be just at the very beginning stages of my fragrance journey/new obsession :P happy holidays! ✨🌲🌲

[@TeyanThuny]

Benzoin is my favorite note, for me it’s smells like tobacco incense and vanilla at the same time. Crazy scent and charisma it makes evry fragrances more luxurious

[@irinka_kat]

I'm from Indonesia and we use Benzoin in our rituals. Funnily, I'm not a fan of this scent because it reminds me of the rituals and funerals. I can tolerate it in Grand Soir, though.

[@samwilliams3966]

I always love these type of videos that you do, it’s great to take a deeper look at specific fragrance notes/ingredients. Just to let you know, olibanum and frankincense are the same resin- just different names with different lineage. Olibanum is from the Arabic name ‘al-libān’ and Frankincense is from the Old French name ‘franc encens’. Happy holidays.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

THANK YOU yes I have to delve deeper into understanding them. We didn't discuss Olibanum in our resins and balsams video but I knew they were the same. Thanks for explaining! Happy Holidays! :)

I love watching videos with your co-host Dana. She is very knowledgeable on fragrance notes and offers interesting tidbits, that are of more of a scientific nature. It's something no other youtube fragrance reviewers seem to do. I don't know if others are fascinated by that side of it, but I certainly am. I would enjoy more content from the two of you. You have good chemistry also, you come across as having a brother/sister type relationship, that works.

Love benzoin, one of my favorite notes. I did recently grab a newly released cheapie with benzoin that I was very impressed with. Wait for it...Liz Claiborne Curve Spark for women. Top notes: fizzy kiwi, juicy acai, pink pepper. Mid notes: Jasmine Petals, Pulpy Peony, Tutti Berries. Base notes: Electric Amber, Madagascar Vanilla, benzoin, sandalwood. It has three different stages to the perfume, and just gets better with time. Insanely strong and long lasting too. I usually do one, but two sprays is max for me with this one. There isn't a single review in writing or video format online. Definitely check it out, benzoin babes. There's a little bit of a masculine quality to it.

[@OksanaItkes]

I LOVE benzoin, much more than vanilla which is too sweet for me. love resins in general. My favorites are Grand Soir, Ambre D'Alexandrie and Fève Délicieuse

[@elizabethg9346]

I often wear perfume at night so that I can smell it on myself. Especially comforting fragrance. All snuggled up and cosy!

[@katefagan2809]

I wear 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods every night to sleep... I swear it just sweeps me away to dreamland every night 😂

[@leesaf2608]

Bois d'Armenie is only available at the boutiques. Caftan is an absolute masterpiece. Your description of it is spot on.

[@miggs80]

I love Benzoin in fragrances. Glad to see a video that focuses on Benzoin. Thank you Sebastian

[@xxraverxxonxtacy]

Only Benzoin frag that I own and have multiple backups is MB Club Black. Imho a cheapie masterpiece and now hard to find in the wild.

[@banzaiburger9589]

Always get educated with a Sebastian video. Thank you! 🙏

[@mikemontgomery5755]

Always the best info bar none, fantastic job.

[@WilliamsPinch]

I love Benzoin. First fell in love years ago with Prada Candy, now I search for it in more sophisticated fragrances.

[@kirstym3910]

I cant find a benzoin that smells of anything?

[@sibyl999]

@@kirstym3910 Try Indochine by Pierre Guillaume- it is gorgeous! It is definitely subtle but Seb is right- it’s resinous. This frag is 1/3 benzoin. I hope you will sample before blind buying tho- Lucky Scent has it:-)

[@kirstym3910]

@@sibyl999 thank you very much 😊

[@ornellaariani6401]

When you said Sumatra, Jawa, Borneo that country is INDONESIA ;) in south east asia. Even for Coffee Luwak or Orang utan.

[@deborahlanemcguire4315]

This is one of my favorite notes. Thanks for the post!

[@aizhanussenaliyeva7218]

I tried both myrth and benzoin as a fixative for my scent formula

[@patrioticsoul3]

Very informative video indeed. Sumatra, Indonesia, Malaysia is the Far East. Sebastian the most famous coffee beans come from South America specifically Brazil and all.

[@witch13itch]

Love Benzoin! 😍

[@ksh8114]

When I got a natural benzoin resinoid my first thought was this: "Oh, hello, Amouage Interlude man!" Natural resinoid is a beautiful raw material which is superior to pale aromatic watery substance called "Benzoin 63 Oliffac" (benzoin replacer) by IFF...

[@Kalima1231]

Had benzoin essential oil for a long time and it is so warm and comforting. Been waiting to get my hands on a bottle of Bois d'Armenie for about a year now. It's been price prohibitive but will definitely save up for it. Great video and excellent background about this wonderful note.

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great list and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and benzoin is one mtg favorite notes and have a blessed day

[@6FigureDays]

Just discovered this note...❤️ I was wondering it was... So much nicer than vanilla on me! 💅🏾🎉

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Ooh it’s delicious!!!

[@josezerpa8177]

The Icon EDP by Antonio Banderas contains benzoin and it is more noticeable in the dry down, making it creamy and inviting. Delicious scent!

[@cheriev1199]

I really enjoy Caftan will be saving up for that one! Great video!

[@Cicelyize]

Nice video. I also adore benzoin. I like guerlain Bois de Armenie. My favourite benzoin perfume at the moment is lush snowcake. Usually in soap but also in perfume in limited editions- currently in the website. I hate all their other perfumes but that one is a love.

[@MadAzn53]

Well done video Sebastian! I love this note, and need to get Caftan and adore Absolue Pour le Soir.

[@UnknownChap]

Great to learn more of Benzoin offerings , I have absolue pour le soir and it's fantastic 👌 Armanis ambre eccentrico is also a great one with worth trying.

[@jaybirddee3790]

I love when he calls it “juice.” Tickles me. I crack up every time for some reason.

[@Tomatohater64]

We use pure tincture of benzoin in the operating room. It's rubbed under the nose for procedures that are decisively odiferous. No joke here.

[@tmm83093]

I have benzoin on a wound after having some stitches removed, I love the sweet earthy smell!

[@Azimut_BY]

I love moldy smells and earthy smells. This is a real find for perfume lovers. Thank you very much. I really like V canto Mea Culpa benzoin.

[@lochnessamonster1912]

Azimut Graveyard Dirt oil by Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. Smells like digging a hole three feet deep and sticking your head in it. It’s pretty wild!

[@CuteGuy0]

Nice. I like benzoin too. Thanks for sharing ✌🏻

[@debbieventimiglia2216]

Love your videos and I love and adore benzoin you mentioned Le labo. And what website did you find it ? Ty

[@krystalburchette255]

Benson is amazing. I really want to try the incense paper the guerlain is inspired by and compare the two Merry Christmas!

[@SuperSeldomseen]

I knew it...i knew the #1 would be Diptyque's Benzion! I have it and love it...

[@FernandoGarcia-qe3oc]

WOW. GOING ON A HUNT FOR DEPTYQUE. BENZION. GREAT LINEUP. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. NEED A SLEEPY TIME FRAG 💤

[@gabrielgarcia7561]

Hi there Sebastian Thanks for the info on the note, I wondered if you would do a review on Shalimar, thats like one that it has a loaded vanilla.

[@mrputtogether]

I love me some vanilla, Benzoin my fav right now is Grand Soir

[@ciciloves6700]

Awwwww yiss. Let’s learn something today!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Hi thanks but I don't understand? LOL! ;)

[@chicong84]

I'm a Benzoin Supplier. Do you know who need to buy?

[@afinitalitha1074]

Hi Sebastian! Do you think Yves Rocher Sable Fauve smells similiar to those sweet parfumes like La Vie Est Belle, Black Opium, Prada Candy, etc? Thank you ☺

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

It could yes and also no. I think to me it might be better! Ha! :)

[@deborahlanemcguire4315]

Holy hell! There goes my budget for the next six months. ;-)

[@specialsomeones]

[@bendtherules0]

[@dzintarsmagons]

I have only one fragrance that lists benzoin as a note and it is Le Male - Elixir. Would you say it is quite prominent in this fragrance?

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Yes definitely it is prominent in that fragrance.

[@quentinmathieu3039]

You + Benzoin + Dana = perfect combo

[@timme2844]

What about Perry Ellis 1985? Cant think of another mens fragrance that has opopanax.....the dry down here is smooth incensey sweetness rich... the dry down here is all class!! Nothing like it!
