Matiere Premiere 2024 extraits perfume review on Persolaise Love At First Scent episode 498

[@kuklakid]

I love vanilla powder, and I wear it. I make no apologies. The extrait Radical Rose is NG.

[@Persolaise]

Absolutely no need to apologise!

[@illiona3289]

Loved that Neroli too, amazing one ❤ it is called Neroli Oranger

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much indeed.

[@franceiroca]

Incense also when of my favorite notes : I was craving Narcotico from Meo Fusciuni and happy that folders days are here now to wear it. Did you know that house?

[@Persolaise]

No, I’m afraid I don’t.

[@annaaya6104]

Thanks for the video. Personally, although I like several of their fragrances, I see this whole idea of extracts as a way to renew interest in the brand and, of course, an additional source of income without much effort. However, just to justify the brand a bit, I would like to add that Aurélien Guichard once said that many people he knows have stopped using fragrances because they are too complicated and overwhelming for them, so he wanted to make a composition that would be understandable to them, that they would know what do they smell like. and one more thing: a charming Bolshevik?? seriously???🤦

[@Persolaise]

Well… maybe in some fairytale universe, there’s a charming one…

[@illiona3289]

I was also put off by Santal Austral and feel much better now, thought something was wrong with me. Encens suave is OK but really loved their Neroli Oranger 🎉

[@Persolaise]

Another vote for the Neroli!

I work in this space and have many French colleagues who often use ‘qualitative’ to describe ‘high quality.’ Over time, I’ve realized this is due to a translation error-they believe it’s the correct way to express ‘high quality’ in English. On another note, I’m also in the minority who wasn’t impressed by MP, and I feel similarly about Commodity. Both brands seem to be trying too hard to appear niche without embracing the true essence of niche perfumery. Instead of offering something innovative or boundary-pushing, they come off as following trends.

[@Persolaise]

Many thanks for this. I must try to seek out Commodity.

[@susannahwatt5853]

I do enjoy French flower and Encens Suave which I enjoy as an amber (rather than an incense) I really didn’t like Crystal Saffron (car tyres anyone) and I HATE (I don’t use that word frequently) Vanilla Powder - just horrifically dry yucky coconut powder/husk affair. I felt very nauseous.

[@Persolaise]

I think VP had the same effect on me as it did on you.

[@boost-9689]

I quite like French Flower too. Very strong though. Partial to Cologne Cedrat. But same reaction as you to Crystal Saffron (yes the tyres!) and Vanilla Powder.

[@susannahwatt5853]

@@Persolaise I still have the sample and retch everytime I (infrequently) sniff it. One of the most intense reactions to a modern scent I’ve had. 🤢. Glad I’m not alone people seem to love it 🤷‍♀️

[@susannahwatt5853]

@@boost-9689 I do want to try the Neroli and Cologne now it’s getting warmer here in NZ. Lots of good feedback on those.

[@boost-9689]

@@susannahwatt5853 Love the Neroli :) Hope you get to try it.

[@orosz4001]

Ouch! It was very nice to hear the subtle Jubilation and Epic endorsement! I came to your chanel during the Amouage Non-Critique period and must say I really really wish I could get your opinions and inclusion in lists! I’ll savor those three (inc incense rori) mentions! Keep slipping them in please!

[@Persolaise]

Ha! They’re never planned. Thanks for watching.

[@boost-9689]

Will cherish my normal Radical Rose and Neroli Oranger. Don't understand this extrait business. To hear the Rose extrait described as garish...ooh what have they done? :( I don't like Santal Austral either.

[@Persolaise]

No, lots of people following this channel don't seem to care for the sandalwood.

[@maisali3152]

Really looking forward to your review! I sniffed these some weeks ago. Some of them were not bad but I had to do a double take with the price! It's becoming ridiculous! I think the brands look at the market and decide to float in the same plane so they can be "taken seriously". ES was my favourite of the bunch

[@Persolaise]

I’d say you’re right: no-one wants to come across as cheap.

[@DaveNYC]

Is it terrible that I enjoyed watching you struggle through these? 😝 I had never smelled anything from this brand, so I ordered a couple samples and coincidentally they arrived today. I smelled along with original Encens Suave and found it to be neither suave nor terribly incensey for that matter. And yes, weirdly sweet and maybe fruity?? I got the Bois D’Ebene as well but left it at the office so can’t comment. Not terribly hopeful for it after seeing this!

[@Persolaise]

No, it’s not terrible. I’m happy to suffer for you 😂

[@miguel9828]

This brand I was very excited to try when it launched, unfortunately I found them way too synthetic. I remember them to have a very well judged consistency throughout the line, but lacking any authenticity or semblance of natural ingredients.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much for taking the time to write.

[@lolanifenring2692]

Encens Suave is addictive (And aren't u worried Aurelien could be watching this review. His feelings are going to be so hurt)

[@Persolaise]

I know many people enjoy that one. Thanks very much for watching.

[@jpjp2818]

Qualitative in English can be used in the sense "of high quality" (depending on the context), whereas in French qualitatif means referring to quality (opposite to quantitatif), in French it doesn't mean high quality :)

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for this. I think there's a lot of cross-miss-translation going on.

[@franceiroca]

I just applause for the courage you had to sniff those extraits! 😂 like somebody said in the chat Matière Première is all what is wrong with actual hyped pop niche. No surprise they called into that extraits trend. Really don’t like the house. However, I wear Botafumeiro from Carner with a close DNA to Encens suave but not as screamer and not as much woody ambers.

[@Persolaise]

I don’t that one from Carner. Thanks for watching.

[@sykorovabarca]

Thank you for this video! My relationship with matiere premiere is quite complicated as it started as such a big love at the beginning of this Hobby. I was quite certain I will get many of them. After I learnt more about the perfumery and got to discover more about its art form, the relationship fell down. I owned radical rose but had to sell it due to its bombastic sillage and extreme sweetness. Parisian musc started bothering me. I never really liked Santal Austral and Falcon Leather as they became too huge and angry using your words. I think currently I get along just with their softer side: French Flower and Neroli Oranger. In the end, I think their appeal lies in their straightforward and easy to understand approach, which is not necessarily bad if you are looking for minimalism, but I don’t like they make them so big against all the odds.

[@Persolaise]

This is really interesting; thanks very much for sharing.

[@susannahwatt5853]

My experience with fragrance gym boys are chaos that wear hugely intense fragrances to the gym. Creating forcefield around themselves that others quickly bounce off.

[@Persolaise]

Gloriously hilarious image.

[@cedriceccentric]

MP is Montale for hipsters.

[@Persolaise]

Interesting description.
