GUERLAIN LA PETITE ROBE NOIRE ABSOLUE | UNBOXING, REVIEW & COMPARISONS

[@acc426]

La petite robe noire is a perfume for life for me. I fall in love with it all over again at the beginning of autumn. I have most of the flankers and I just got the Rose Noire one.

[@OlfactiveStories]

@@acc426 My mother bought me the first version when it was released. It's still dear to my heart and I think it will be perfect for Autumn indeed 🥰

Thanks Karine! Always nice to see a video posted by you. Have a good day! 😊💛

[@OlfactiveStories]

Thank you! Have a nice day too 😘

I bought Absolue for my mum (67 years), it was a blind buy as I couldnt find it in stores yet. I trusted your review and I felt it could be good and I tried it myself. I think it is something that my mum would enjoy, bit darker rose-almond scent. it lasted a lot on my skin and in dry down it was in moments a bit much but i am happy at the end with it. hopefully mum will enjoy it too. Thank you for your nice and honest reviews. i wish i can test it in same time you talk about it 😉

[@OlfactiveStories]

Oh I'm glad she enjoys it too :) That one works really well with my skin and I'm still wearing it, mostly for a night out ^^

[@shojaaveTravelFoodLifestyle]

Hello Karine!!!! The last one was one of my favourites. Looking forward to this new one . thanks for the review ❤

[@OlfactiveStories]

I really enjoyed the rose rose rose one. The cherry rose was fine, but a bit less my taste. Thank you for watching 🥰

[@scentedsnowdrops]

Thanks Karine. I like the sound of the smokiness and darkness. But yes there are so blooming many of them. They confuse me lots 🤣

[@OlfactiveStories]

Hi Jon 😊 Yes it's becoming a bit confusing 😅

[@lademoiselleauxpivoines]

Coucou Karine ! J'attendais ton retour sur celui-ci avec impatience 😇 il a l'air fort intéressant, même si je t'avoue que je m'y perds depuis loooooongtemps entre tous les flankers de La Petite Robe Noire 😅

[@OlfactiveStories]

Hello Gwen, comment vas-tu ? 😊 Oui j'avoue que je m'y perds parfois aussi 😆 Le pire c'était la sortie de Rose Cherry alors qu'ils ont déjà un parfum qui s'appelle Rose Chérie... va t'y retrouver la dedans 🤣

[@cortneyperfume_madness480]

Great video! I have just two, Rose Cherry & Black Perfecto.

[@OlfactiveStories]

Rose Cherry was nice but less memorable to me (and I'm not a huge fan of cherry blossom) but the Black perfecto range is gorgeous 😍 The rose rose rose was one of the best flankers to me (as a rose lover 😄)

[@dcjimr1]

I appreciated the review, Karine. I'm soooo confused about all the flankers of this perfume. I have the Black Perfecto, which I love, but not sure what to get as a follow-up. Maybe the Intense. 🤷🏻‍♂

[@OlfactiveStories]

The Black perfecto range was great. I really enjoyed the floral version. The intense version didn't work on me, too much sugar and my skin tends to enhance that (Really cloying on me 😅).

[@dr.claire.perfume]

This range is just perplexing 😂 I really do want to try this!

[@OlfactiveStories]

Been wearing it for the last couple of days. I really enjoy it so far 😊

[@perfeptions]

Hi dear ❤ did not know about this 😮 thank you! 😊

[@OlfactiveStories]

You're welcome 😊

Hello Karine, I am looking at Petit Robe Noir ;where’s she has her leg up and holding a pair of shoes…. I feel I might blind buy but am worried with all of those flankers(as with my Shalimar that I am slowly finding) it may become another collection 🤦🏻‍♀️.I am looking at Shalimar Fourreau Du Soir Edp from 2001,they’re asking a lot of $$$$$$’s, the bottle is beautiful though…ummm..heeeeeelp 😂🤦🏻‍♀️. Your review was lovely🙋🏻‍♀️🇦🇺❤️🧡

[@OlfactiveStories]

Hello, yes I think there were some limited editions of LPRN that look like that, EDP and EDT, but I don't remember what they smelled like. Is it this one ? www.fragrantica.fr/parfum/Guerlain/La-Petite-Robe-Noire-Eau-de-Parfum-Collector-Edition-20168.html The fourreau du soir version of Shalimar seems interesting. The bottle was very pretty but I don't know if the juice is good. If it were cheap I would give it a try, but if it's expensive that may be a risky bet 😅

[@deannstanglenny9431]

@@OlfactiveStories Oh golly, I forgot about Frangratica . Yes, that is the one, ❤️🙏🏻, the notes appear to be my liking and the bottle is so quirky☺️. I received my Millesime Iris, it is elegant and more Vanilla on my skin. I sprayed my blouse and then I smelled the creamy Iris, it’s lovely but the Millesime Tonka is my favourite.A funny story: my husband cannot smell any differences with any of my perfumes, so I have stopped asking him… I walked past him with the Millesime Iris.. he comment” you smell like ice cream “ 🤦🏻‍♀️😂.. oh boy. I had to share with you. Thank you again 🙋🏻‍♀️🇦🇺❤️🧡

[@OlfactiveStories]

@@deannstanglenny9431 OK somehow he's not wrong. It's a sweet iris with caramel. He definitely detected the sugar and the vanilla 😄

[@adduintense]

On my way to try all of them❤

[@OlfactiveStories]

Hope you'll find a good one 😊 I think the Absolue version is maybe one of the best available at the moment. I was a bit disappointed by the Rose noire version.

[@perfeptions]

Would you say this is following the trend of Cherry Punk by Room 1015?

[@OlfactiveStories]

In fact, La petite robe noire was initially released long before Cherry Punk. So I would say, if there is a cherry trend maybe it started with La petite robe noire and definitely appeared more and more as Tom Ford Lost Cherry and BDK Rouge smoking were released. I have not smelled Cherry Punk yet and it's not very popular here. But as I'm going to Paris soon, I may have the opportunity 😉

[@perfeptions]

@@OlfactiveStories oh yes, LPRN started it all ! Pls let me know what you think once you smell cherry punk 😊😘

[@OlfactiveStories]

OK so I was able to put my nose on it at Jovoy today. Couldn't get a sample though but I thought the almond and saffron were more dominant in here. It has something sweet and a bit funky to it. I also tried the extrait which smelled like frangipane at first, then took much more time to evolve to an almost dirty leather. I would say these ones smell more niche to me. Definitely in the trend of Drunk Saffran, Sugar leather, or maybe Ghibli. LPRN smells more classic and floral to my nose with a much more tamed leather note (at least for this version). It's like a punk version vs a posh version. Not the same vibe at all 😄

[@perfeptions]

@@OlfactiveStories thanks a lot that’s very useful! Your description was very detailed 🥰

[@perfeptions]

I still have to unpack the Rose flanker 😂

[@OlfactiveStories]

Haha they release so many flankers lately that it's getting hard to follow :D

[@perfeptions]

@@OlfactiveStories yeah I wanted to first go through the ones I have already 😅 but they keep releasing stuff!

[@RichMitch]

Hello Karine 👋🏻🫂

[@OlfactiveStories]

Hi Rich Mitch 😊

[@eprohoda]

Hiya!. Omg!you shared splendid masterpiece~ catch you later.

[@perfeptions]

Hi dear ❤ did not know about this 😮 thank you! 😊

[@perfeptions]

Would you say this is following the trend of Cherry Punk by Room 1015?

[@OlfactiveStories]

I have not tried that one but I would say they tried to release a stronger version which is lasting longer. It reminds me of what they already released 5-6 years ago with the perfecto versions. It has also some similarities with the rose rose rose and Cherry oud.

[@perfeptions]

@@OlfactiveStories thank you 😘 I need to test it, I heard you comparing it to those fragrances and I am very curious now
