Finding A Signature Scent - Green Perfume

[@gail3633]

Neil Chapman’s book is one of my favourite perfume reads. I really like how he chose to approach it and appreciate he offers recommendations to explore. Good on you Pep for saying what you will and will not tolerate on your channel💛

[@darkkstar5647]

Green is my favorite (maybe being a landscape designer influences that or maybe that's why I became a landscape designer). I have both Silences and Vent Vert--looking forward to your take on these as well as others!

[@TheScentinel]

@@darkkstar5647 I will try and source some samples

[@ivanpuni]

Thank you for suggesting the title. I suppose it's high time I spent a bit of time reading, as opposed to obsessively spraying my life away. I adore galbanum driven scents, which began for me with the Frederic Malle you mentioned. May I suggest three for your consideration. Ex Nihilo's Viper Green is often compared to, yet more complex than Chanel No. 19. Also of note, WeinerBlut's Klubwasser which is like walking into a florist's shop. I've seen people melt over the green luciousness of this one, when I have scent parties. Last but not least and I'm on my second bottle, Floris Vert Fougère. This last one is one of my go to scents. it's smokey and green. And lastly, thank you for the end bit of your clip. I'll continue to proudly recommend your channel to other perfumistas.

@@ivanpuni thank you

[@TravisHaslett]

I have around 13 in my rotation, but my signature is Bowling Green. I never want to be without a bottle

[@demimiforrest1349]

Hi Pep! I always enjoy your content and now I appreciate you more! I love green fragrances. My go-to now is FM Synthetic Jungle. I also love Chanel Bel Respiro (finish a decant and hoping to purchase a full bottle but it’s oh so expensive), Dusita La Sillage Blanc (I know you can’t stand this one 😆), Ormonde Women (with an ‘oily’ texture to my nose which set this aside from my other green perfumes) and Chanel 19 Poudre.! Can’t wait to watch other videos from this series ❤️

[@PhinClio]

Especially after the election we just went through here in the US, I really appreciate your stance against hate!

[@clarezimberlin8729]

Hi Pep. I too have Neil Chapman's book. It's beautifully presented and always interesting to refer to. I'm looking forward to enjoying your series loosely based on his fine format. I think this will stimulate some lively exchanges. Thanks for your bold statement at the end. I'm sure it was related to some dreadful comments. Bravo to you for taking a stand & setting the boundary.

Love love love you!!

[@joshsawyerstreamvods]

i admire people that can have 1 scent cause i could never limit myself like that

[@TheScentinel]

@@joshsawyerstreamvods it would be so difficult

[@famousyoutuber2375]

Jean Louis Scherrer original is a nice green floral Chypre…for the price it’s well worth a try

[@TheScentinel]

@@famousyoutuber2375 I've tried it, and love it.

[@petraroos3413]

First, as a citizen of the US, things are rough here. So I really appreciate your support and for making your channel a safe space. Also, I am excited for this new series it should be very interesting. ❤

[@TheScentinel]

@@petraroos3413 💗

[@GinaAngels]

I respect the way you decide to run your own channel. Let’s face facts we all come here for a little escapism and enjoyment. Let’s all just enjoy the love of fragrance together as a community. Looking forward to the series

[@resa6496]

My favourite green fragrances are: Play Green (Comme des Garçons), Jasmin Angélique (Atelier Cologne) and British Grassland (Fragrantarium) ❤

[@Scents4em]

I appreciate you, Pep ♥️

[@scent_jeannie]

Hey Pep, great idea for a video. This is a book I keep meaning to pick up. You’re looking really well today as well. Love the shirt! So I’ve just listened to the end and I totally get what you’re saying. You always show integrity Pep and that’s one of the things that’s always drawn me to your channel 🫡

[@TheScentinel]

@@scent_jeannie thank you, Jean💗

[@zambowman]

Yes! on Neil Champman's book! And Yes! on standing up for what you believe in!

[@lancewimberly5954]

✊🏾❤ Thanks for your content

[@appeal2nature]

Hi! I watch your videos all the time, but I do not read the comments. So what happened? Did someone write a disgusting comment on a recent video? BTW, love your channel. 💚

[@MinervaZapata-mm4qo]

Wonderful Idea!

[@PerfumedByTheSea]

Hey Pep, Gotta admit times like this week I am glad I’m not on insta! Think I would always have Desert Suave as my signature. I may not wear it much, but it’s the one that cannot be beaten and would never be without. Have you tried Barenia by Hermes yet? Had to buy a bottle today!!

[@TheScentinel]

@@PerfumedByTheSea as it so happens, I took a test strip with Barenia home only 2 days ago. For what it's worth, I liked what I smelled, not for me to wear, but I would certainly not complain about smelling it on someone else.

[@PerfumedByTheSea]

@@TheScentinel I couldn’t stop thinking about it after trying it weeks ago. And I managed to get some money off in I guess a Black Friday style deal.

[@Sweetcat-fd4mz]

Great video. I’m really enjoying all things green lately. Although I will never have a signature scent, if I did it would be green. And yes I am with you - Thankyou for making your channel a space that will not tolerate horrible behaviour ❤

[@alejandromunozlopez4016]

I agree 100% with you, adding the protection for the babies and children. Nobody has the right to damage other Human beings

[@JoshuaJamesZimmerman]

Thanks, Pep. Great video. Love greens and also appreciate your very clear and thoughtful message at the end. Last week was a social media and political trip.

[@JONATHAN-db2ry]

It's a wonderful idea Pep... I have the book and It'll give me a reason to revisit it and read along. ✌🏻

[@fragchitown8985]

Bravo for your declaration and resolve! Bringing it back to perfume, I just got JCE's fragrance for Malle, Angélique sous la pluie (2000). I had gone through two smaller bottles of it and I missed having. Green (fitting in with your theme today) and lovely. I also have a foreboding that some of the older Malle perfumes that are less popular might be discontinued.

[@justaddlight]

You're not wrong about Erawan! It was actually that hayish sclarene that attracted me to it originally. Props for taking a stance too Pep. We definitely need safe spaces amidst all the craziness.

[@boboosh6217]

For what it's worth, I'm with you on this.

[@JJToyo]

Bravo! Been watching your videos on and off for a while, but now I just subscribed.

[@MidwestBetty]

As a fragrance loving liberal in the U.S. I applaud your closing statements. My favorite greens are Chanel No 19 Poudre, Chanel Paris Deauville (from the Les Eaux collection) and You or Someone Like You from ELdO. Nice reviews and book recommendation as well! Thanks!

[@sardonicsophisticate3974]

Thank you for speaking out! You’re my kind of people! ❤

[@korrigan]

Respect!!!!

[@gabbiagoston]

Being a human being with strong ethics and morals first and foremost is what every content creator should strive for, instead of taking the whole content creation too seriously. Wish everyone online would be open about who they are as a person, because I am definitely not interested in supporting anyone I can't relate to. I don't believe in cancel culture, but I want my freedom to select who I support in what form and you have my full support.

[@oldmanshizuoka]

Your ending music almost had me~ but I was thinking wait, there’s more time left! I hope those who *need* to hear Your closing words can stomach them, especially that last minute. Applause and admiration to You! (I wish I could ❤ This video instead of just 👍)

[@gubberfranzen]

I have been watching your videos for a while and I even went back to watch some of your older videos. I might be completely oblivious to this, but I have never seen political statements on any fragrance channel. Is this a general problem in the comment section or are you asking a specific political alliance to f'**k off based on their political views? Most rational people that I know don't have irrational fears. The ones that are affraid of race, sexual orientation etc. will find any excuse to justify their irrational ignorance. I guess my question is, is related to the US election, an Australian topic, religious fanatism or a totally different issue? I live in blissful ignorance about most of the content creators I follow. If I knew that any of them are child abusers, drug dealers, or have other deviant tendencies, I would also consider my support. I enjoy your content for what it is regardless of your political stance. Cheers mate.

[@TheScentinel]

@gubberfranzen essentially all the things mentioned above. No, nothing specifically has happened on this channel, but on other social media platforms I am aware that some influencers support these things, and I just won't tolerate it here.

[@michael_galicia]

Thanks for the last part of the video ✊🏽

[@perfume_papi]

Bravo, well said.

[@DaveNYC]

Love the idea of doing a series based on the Chapman book. Look forward to future installments! Not sure what happened to provoke the coda, but I’m sorry if anyone has been abusive in the comments. I generally read through them and haven’t noticed a problem, but I probably missed it. Anyway, especially with this week’s catastrophic election results here in the US, I have no doubt there is a lot of ugliness to come. These misguided folks are going to feel emboldened now as never before. Luckily I live in the bubble of Brooklyn and am relatively sheltered from it. But I don’t look forward to the next 4 (or, god help us, more) years.

[@TheScentinel]

@DaveNYC nothing in the comments, and it generally pertains to what you mentioned, and anyone feeling emboldened. It's a sad fact that there are other frag youtubers/influencers that would have been happy with that result, so they can have those people.

[@DaveNYC]

@ Ah. Well these days I only follow 3-4 channels, and I’m pretty sure none of them harbor such views. Maybe Ryan. He seems suspicious! 😉. I’m sure you’ve noticed that certain corners of Fragrantica have tuned into teeming cesspools of garbage, spearheaded by the Editor in Chief no less. I do avoid those.

[@TheScentinel]

Quite sad to think you need to address such behaviour on a fragrance channel but totally support the message pep

[@thelastmountaineer]

So it’s good to be intolerant of people who are intolerant of other people because you think they should tolerate them but because they don’t you are justified not to tolerate them?

[@thelastmountaineer]

So tolerant 😂
