Fragrance Masterpieces In My Collection

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Happy Sunday! Thanks for stopping by! I’d love to hear how many you guessed correctly and I’d love to hear about your masterpieces! 🙌❤️ There is an “add on” at the very end I almost forgot. FYI. 😉

[@katev7663]

Hi Chris. Babycat is again in stock. It is not discontinued. They had issues with the patent for this perfume. It is not discontinued. And it is not just middle east limited smell. Just wait and you will soon see it in the USA

[@sarahw5906]

I've wondered what could possibly be happening with this one. It doesn't seem to make any logical business sense to not sell it far and wide since there is sooo much demand for it. I can't believe how hard it is to get!

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Hopefully!!🙏🏻👏🏻🙌

[@ComeUnboxWithTheresa]

Yes I just found out babycat isn’t discontinued I’m so happy and I’m going to place my order soon!

I also keep a bottle of my grandparent’s fragrances. Youth Dew and Aspen from Coty. It’s so amazing how transportive it is. 🥰 it’s Iike a hug from them.

[@mcicalese58]

Youth Dew was one of my first perfumes as a teen. I loved it! This might sound weird but I still wear Skin so Soft by Avon in the summer if I'm going to a BarBQue. It smells good and keeps the bugs away! LOL

[@bellathereader1328]

I completely agree with you on your list!! One doesn’t have to like a fragrance to acknowledge its place in the history of perfume. Many on your list changed the world of fragrance with their innovation and uniqueness

I don't trust anyone's judgement who 'hates' things. It represents a singular lack of objectivity. I make jewelry and I'm always so umimpressed by designers who 'hate' and 'can't work with' certain colors. Really, you're just making jewelry for yourself then? 🤣

[@sarahw5906]

Lovely list! In addition to several you named, mine would include Gourmand Coquin, Penhaligon's Ostara, Roses Berberanza, and D&G Light Blue. I remember Light Blue taking the world by storm when it was released and its staying power in this fickle industry is proof that, although very common and much copied by now, it is a masterpiece 💙🩵

[@ThePerfumeNest]

I meant to have Gourmand Coquin on this list or my 10/10 and completely forgot last minute! Oy. And yes Light blue ALMOST made it also!! Good calls!!🙌

[@dianatrif7085]

I could have swear that Gourmand Coquin is on the list. For me it’s a masterpiece, a 10/10, I don’t know exactly where it would fit, but definitely an all time favorite.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Yes!! I couldn’t decide which video I was going to put it in…Masterpiece or my 10/10. And I forgot to put it in either!! 🤦‍♀️🤣I blame trying to hurry and film / edit these before going out of town for Spring Break. Oy. 🥰

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Oh yes!!! Excellent list! 🙌👏🏻❤️🥰

I remember smelling Dior Poison for the first first time. It was representative of that era. The 80s, a time of unapologetic maximalism, more is more, and excess....The bigger the hair, the closer to God 😉. It was THE perfume you didn't know you needed, but, overnight everyone was wearing it. I still wear Hypnotic Poison. I had a similar experience with Angel in the 90s. Wow. I had never smelled anything like it. Love it still today, even though I rarely wear it. Between the fragrances and music, it's as close as we can get to a time machine. Wonderful video 🙌🙌

Another fun video and I find BR540 to be simply spectacular. I feel special when I wear it and my second bottle is on the way from Luckyscent. Like you, I do not smell it here in my area and I have not grown tired of it in the least. I just bought the hair fragrance in it from Nordstrom which I can't wait to try. It's truly a masterpiece imo as well.

[@sharoncruz9901]

Good morning from the west coast of Canada 🥰. Such a lovely video to enjoy as I have my morning coffee ☕️ ❤. You mentioned so many favourites that I’ve worn in the past and present. I had Angel when it first came out - I received it as a gift. And while I never really loved it, I used it up because I recognized how unique and special it was. Two that I would dearly love to own, as I’ve sampled and loved them so much, are Babycat and Lost Cherry. I will likely repurchase the lovely Chanel 5 Eau Premiere one day. It was an instant love and large bottle purchase when it first came out. You’ve got me interested in the EBK Patchouli one! Thank you, Chris 😍❤

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Hi Sharon! You are probably still in the throes of colder weather like me. And I’m on my second bottle also of Eau premiere. I tore through the first one and not wearing this new bottle as much as I used to but love having it as a classy go to. 🥰🥰

I know I am SO GLAD I splurged for the original formulation. The bottle is so pretty also.

Ivory Route is a power house! I love it so much. Very potent, a little goes a long way. I had worn it last week and after doing my laundry I could still smell it on my top. It’s a scent that makes me feel peaceful, it smells like when you’re going through an aromatherapy session at a spa. I also adore Gris Dior, I received my bottle last week and I was in awe ❤ I also have Angelique Noir, it’s beautiful. To me Ylang in Gold by M. Micallef is another masterpiece ❤Thank you for mentionning Samsara, this one in the old bottle, it is very special to me because it was the first fragrance I tried at a perfume counter in a department store after moving to Canada in 1984 🇨🇦 ❤ My other masterpieces: Oud Satin Mood by MFK; La Danza delle Libelulle by Nobile 1942; Cacao Porcelana by Attelier Matteri; Tommi Iommi Monkey Special by Xerjoff (I share it with my husband); Chanel Chance Eau Tendre (so feminine, a compliment magnet); Chanel Coco Noir; Lady Million by Paco Rabanne…

[@ThePerfumeNest]

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Love love Ylang in Gold but it smells SO similar to Casmir (which came first). But yes Soooo pretty!!🙌

[@SiatkazBiedronki]

Great choices and very objective, I loved your Video! I would consider giving Samsara a chance sometimes. It was so not my thing for a long time, it even made me a tad depressed! This year I just sampled it to refresh my memory and was instantly blown away🎉 What a beauty! Complex, mysterious, tempting, wintery, smooth ❤

Hello Chris, this was an interesting selection of masterpiece fragrances from your collection. A few I anticipated and some were a total surprise. I would have expected Black Orchid over Lost Cherry and I wouldn't have guessed that you would choose a fragrance from EBK. Thanks for an enjoyable view today! Have a great day! 💛~ Jenn

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Yes! I love surprises and to keep you guys on your toes. I don’t own Black Orchid and I kept it to those I own which helped. I had to tip my hat to Lost Cherry…..no one was doing a boozy gourmand cherry so that deserves some credit. And the cherry frenzy is still going strong all these years later (because of LV). ❤️🥰😀

[@SharidaM]

Angelique Noire ❤❤❤❤ absolutely a masterpiece!

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Yes! You know every time I see my bottle now I think of the beautiful Sharida because I know how much you love it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@CraftySheryl]

Love this list! I think that Shalimar is one of the few fragrances that I’ve found where you & I have wildly different tastes. I’m one of those that would consider it my signature scent (if I had one, that is). I’ve been wearing it for 30 years now! 😀

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Hello my friend! I’m actually wearing it today!! (Philtre). The original I LOVE LOVE in the dry down. It’s just that opening that isn’t my favorite. 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️😘

[@frontporchwigchat6260]

Wow, you look just like a Spring Day! Lovely. I am finding that I do love a perfume with some spice, which surprised me. One of my favs has the bay leaf note and another has a ginger note that is fairly prominent, both with vanilla. Neither would necessarily be called a masterpiece, of course, but I've almost finished both large bottles over the past winter, just a couple of spritzes left in each. Some of those you mentioned are intriguing! Thanks, Chris. Have a great week! ~Cynthia

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Lalique for the bay leaf….ok which one is the ginger one??🥰

[@frontporchwigchat6260]

@@ThePerfumeNest I bet Lalique Le Parfum is probably the only one on the market with that bay leaf note, right? The one with ginger would be Jimmy Choo Illicit. I'm more partial to Jimmy Choo Fever, but the Illicit is very nice as well. I get the ginger in the opening, though it does fade after a couple of hours and goes to the vanilla, honey and caramel. Have you had Illicit?

[@naomiledger1374]

I consider a masterpiece one that, as you said, is unique and showcases a new kind of profile, or else is outstanding in its category, but additionally it must be an enduring fragrance. The ones I consider masterpieces from my collection include Dior Poison (the OG) and Joop! Femme (a vintage bottle). Both still thrill me and fill me with wonder every time I wear them. Of the more recently released fragrances I own I'd probably include Black Orchid edp as a masterpiece. So different when it first arrived on the market. I also have to agree with you on some of your selections including Chanel No.5 (I have the edp, but I also love the L'Eau) and LADDM, and there are plenty you've mentioned that I love although may not agree they qualify as masterpieces. Lovely video. 😊😊

[@sebouquin2430]

I agree that Babycat is a masterpiece. It’s such a strange fragrance to wear. On my skin up against my nose, all I smell is heavy pepper with a bit of vanilla. Not a fan at all. But what is this I’m smelling all around me? This heavenly vanilla that I want to keep getting whiffs. Im so glad the scent bubble is different than what I smell on my skin. 😊

I have never done a side by side of the two; I just remember testing L’eau and thinking “oh my gosh this smells so similar to Eau Premier”. Enough so I really don’t think you need both.

Oh, goody. If you're restricting it to perfumes that you have, then I don't have to choose Chanel No. 5, Angel, Opium or Black Orchid (though I have to begrudgingly admit that they fit the other criteria). So those perfumes that I have that I consider masterpieces (perfumes unlike anything else at the time and artfully made) are: Guerlain's Shalimar, Mitsouko, L''Heure Bleue, Apre L' Ondee and Nahema. This latter being a unique rose fragrance and the only perfume that an actual rose was named after. My other five would be L' Air du Temps by Nina Ricci, Poison by Dior, Champagne/Yvresse by Yves Saint Laurent, L' Eau d'Issey by Issey Miyake and Pikovaya Dama by Xeroff,

That’s a bummer

Dior Home EDT original is a masterpiece…my sister’s signature scent!

[@ThePerfumeNest]

How cool is that! And I think I own the EDP. Need to sniff the EDT now!!😃😂

[@sweetpeace5]

Do you mean like the mens Dior Homme? So curious!

[@marthamartinez4215]

It is so good! I wear it on cool spring/ summer days! I feel like it’s very unisex

[@marthamartinez4215]

My top masterpiece fragrances for men are 1. Creed aventus 2. YSL Kouros 3. Dior Homme intense or Le Parfum 4. YSL La Niut l Homme 5 Terre d Hermes 6. Love it or hate it RL Polo Green OG 7. Drakkar Noir OG 8. Dior Fahrenheit 9. Armani Aqua d Gio 10. Aqua di Parma OG! Spectacular barbershop scent that I love to wear when it is hot outside! Great video! I have some of the perfumes in my collection!

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Wow. I love your list!!!💯❤️

[@marthamartinez4215]

Thanks! A special someone used to wear most of those! He loved the loud one! But they smelled great on him! Kouros and Fahrenheit were lady magnet! I can still remember the smell! You truly have an amazing channel! Be blessed young lady

[@pinkiemtengenya6744]

Wow, you some gorgeous gems right there😍😍. I also agree with Coromandel, Babycat, BR540 and Chanel no.5😍😍. I used to wear the latter a lot some years back😍😍. Luckily I don’t smell BR540 every where here but I don’t wear it when I go to certain places🤩🤩. I also think Alien Essence Absolu is a masterpiece and I’m looking forward to wearing it this winter😍😍. Stay gorgeous🥰🥰

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Oh you are so right about Essence Abdolute my friend. 🥰🥰

[@nordicskibunny]

Have you ever smelled Chanel No 19 Poudre? It’s absolutely amazing.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

I have 19 the original but not the Poudree flanker. Oh boy. Add to list.,😂

I hate when a winner is discontinued. Have you tried YSL Libe? It's got this thing that I can't describe but I keep going back for more. Definitely a 10.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Yes!! I have a coworker who wears it and she smells so nice!

[@cherylclough4309]

New subscriber and new to the fragrance community. This was so interesting. My mother used to like Shalimar. It was so sweet hearing about your grandmother’s scent. I’m trying to learn about perfumes and trying to decide what exactly I like and why. Pretty tough, surprisingly. Watching all the You Tube I can to learn. Thank you for all the information you provide. I enjoyed your Vanilla podcast. I do know I like that scent.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Hi Cheryl! Thank you so much for subscribing and supporting my channel! Well it’s also very important to try things on. Maybe you can take a small list from the videos you watch and go sample them at Sephora, Ulta and the department stores; give them a proper wear. Blind buying is never anything I recommend. It can be a very expensive lesson. 🤦‍♀️😉😂🤷‍♀️

[@ThePerfumeNest]

And thank you for reminding me it’s time to do another vanilla series. My last one was two years ago.

[@sarahglen1140]

Thanks Chris! I still need to get my nose on Alexandrite N Patchouli, I ended up getting a partial off the Ruby N Vanilla Intense, which I absolutely love. And I should really get my nose on the Shalimar line, see if any resonate with me.

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Shalimar is not for everyone that’s for sure, what I know of your favorites….it’s probably not a “Sarah” perfume. 🥰🥰

[@sarahglen1140]

@@ThePerfumeNest That's really good to know, thanks Chris! I'm finding that my nose is developing a lot since I've started this whole adventure. And, I'm noticing that I'm pretty seasonal 😂, getting so into the mood for more floral/fruity/lighter scents at the moment. But I do love a good dark one too. I'm all over the place 😅

Hey Chris, This was like fragrance jeopardy 😂😂 how fun. I surprised myself and got almost all of them correct woot woot!!!

Good morning my friend😘 I am going to add Polo and Lauren. I drowned myself in Lauren back in the day, and if a boy wore Polo…instant crush😂. I am also going to add the original Narciso musc oil…I am hoarding my last few drops of that. Why is it that they discontinue all the good ones?

[@ThePerfumeNest]

I’m still shocked you love Polo!!! 😂😂That Musc oil is amazing from NR. I have a few drops left! ❤️❤️

I adore bR540 but it kills me that I can’t smell it! It’s too expensive to nose blind to. I’m noseblind to Cloud too… csn snyone suggest a similar fragrance without ambroxan?

You are not alone! I’ve heard others say that…🥹

Hi Chris! Finally catching up on your videos 😊 You've got so many good ones here! Shalimar is an absolute masterpiece, although it took me quite some time to get used to it but the dry-down is so beautiful I had to persevere 😂 My favourite flanker is the latest one, Tonka Millesime 😍

[@ThePerfumeNest]

Yes I agree! That’s why I have so many flankers of it. My favorite is Shalimar MVP. The Tonka flanker sold out before I could scoop it up. 😉
