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! ✨🌲🌲

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

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.

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.
@ThePerfumeGuy4 жыл бұрын
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.
