Chanel 19 my favourite

[@Frenchforaday]

@@Lilyofthevalley117 Hi Marina :) I love the Neroli note in Chanel 19. I first smelled this one on a friend of mine at university (she literally stole it from her mom). I knew I wanted to have this perfume immediately. xoxo

[@Jonida1]

Hello, these are usual fragrances where everyone knows about it. I was looking for those french little bottle perfumes that when you put a dropp in your skin, everyone would ask what are you wearing? So very high quality perfumes, where are those hidden?🤔

[@foxymama2003]

I am so glad you included Arpege in this video! My mama passed away yesterday at 86 and she loved this perfume! It was the first designer perfume my daddy bought her and the smell to me is home because it was her signature! I have applied it today in her honor and it will never leave my collection! I love Mon Guerlain also and my favorite of the Cocos is Coco Noir, love Allure also (I definitely have French fragrance love in my blood)! Edit: I did not know the history of Arpege and now it is more precious to me as my love for fragrance and beauty is definitely a gift passed to me by my beautiful, classy mama! I so appreciate you sharing the backstory of such a beautiful memory!

[@Frenchforaday]

Hello and please accept my sincerest condolences. I can truly imagine the way you feel. Loosing a mom is one of the hardest times. I'm sending you all my love and support and a virtual hug. May your gorgeous mama rest in peace.

[@lindarenwick5079]

I'm so sorry to hear about your Momma. So difficult. She left a wonderful perfume legacy for you! Glad you're wearing it today in her honor.

[@roxw7221]

[@christina4465]

I thought it was great that you shared a loving tribute to your mother and it was very moving! I rediscovered Dior’s Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet 💐 this spring, and I am loving it once again! I love fragrances but I am not in a habit of wearing them often. I thought all of your choices were very beautiful and elegant, Angela! Thank you, thank you for sharing. 🤩💝 I hope Angela and all of you have a beautiful day! 💐🌸🌺🌹🇫🇷🤩😄🍀

Hey! Check out my latest video for Fragonard Perfumery Tour 🌸 Hope you enjoy :)

[@christinagombar2622]

I understand about the Chanel No. 5. A friend of mine could not cry at his mother's death until he embraced a friend of hers at the funeral, wearing it on her mink coat. Then he burst into tears. I think all of our mothers adored the scent, and I buy it for my 90 year old mother still! I used to wear it when I worked on Wall Street in my 20s because it was a very dressy, grown up classy fragrance, and I was working in an office of mostly older men who noticed everything. It did seem to project an aura of maturity and success when I, in fact, possessed neither! I repurchased No 5 recently and it, and Coco are the only fragrances in my depleted scent wardrobe. I will try to find the Lanvin and Fragonard, and the Allure if I can find it at a good price. Thanks for this lovely episode. I would love to learn more about fragrances. I have been to Grasse and it was fascinating and very fragrant!

[@beatafiejdasz4983]

My favourite French fragrance since 1998 is "Champs Elysees" by Guerlain!❤ Despite having many other perfumes( from different French brands) I always come back to it, specially in spring!🌿🌺🌷 The great video, dear Angela, as usual! Thanks a lot!!! xoxo🌹🌹🌹

[@Frenchforaday]

Hi Beata! Thank you so much for reminding me of this gorgeous perfume. It's a real celebration of Mimosa and rose petals. No wonder you go back to this fragrance in the spring season. It's a rare gem and truly unique perfume. Now I want a bottle of it lol. Have a great weekend! xoxo

Very happy to see Fragonard mentioned. Bourjois, Houbigant and Dior's old school scents bring to mind classic French perfumes, along with Hermés' 24 Faubourg. Allure EDP is criminally under rated. It is certainly a womanly scent that commands respect and exudes elegance.

[@Frenchforaday]

Hi Kate! :) A huge thank you for reminding me of Houbigant Parfum. Their creations are gorgeous! I agree Bourjois and Hermés are great examples of French perfumery too. It's early in the morning here in Europe. I just finished my workout and I'm getting ready to go out. I want to try Hermés' 24 Faubourg :) I just read the notes and i think this might be a new love for me. Have a great Sunday! xoxo

[@bretaskinner3143]

Thank you for your insights into perfume. My Grandmother wore Fleur De Rocaille by Caron. My Mother and her sisters also wore it, until it became hard to find. While traveling, a cousin visited a store with Caron stock, and said that the formula had changed. So, we now have only memories. I don't wear perfume often, but I still tire of a scent before even 3/4 through a bottle. When we had a Nordstrom close by, I would try and liked Chanel No 5. I've decided it is time to spurge and get it, but I'll have to work up the courage to drive into Denver.

[@Lulu-kt6gr]

I love Belle Cherie! I also got Belle d’Arles and I’m not sure if I like it yet. I need to give it a good wear but Belle de Nuit and Belle Cherie are beautiful.

[@carolann7459]

Hello, Angela! I always enjoy and look forward to watching all of your videos. This one in particular touched my heart, as like you, my mother wore Chanel #5 all of her adult life. My father bought her first bottle of the fragrance when they were newlyweds. He was a young officer in the Air Force, so they spent their first two years of married life in Europe. While in Paris, he bought her the perfume. Fast forward another ten years when I was born. As a toddler, I loved to climb up on anything. So, apparently (as I don't remember doing this but it was a story told over and over), I climb up on my mother's bureau, opened her large bottle of Chanel #5 and spilt it all over the top of the bureau! Needless to say, she was not happy with me. Though she has been gone from my life for twenty years, Chanel #5 is the scent that always reminds me of my precious mother, a most elegant and stylish woman. I have a bottle, not to personally wear, but to smell on occasion to remind me of her spiritual presence in my life. For me, I love Chanel's Allure and have worn it for years and only started wearing Coco Mademoiselle in the past three years. I love both of these Chanel fragrances. I also enjoy wearing Chanel's Gabrielle fragrance during the summer months. Another favorite is La Vie est Belle L'eclat, which my husband especially loves, and Baccarat Rouge 540, which many people either strongly love or hate it! I love it! Take care and thank you for bringing us wonderful videos about fashion, skincare and make-up. Your honest expertise is greatly appreciated!

[@Frenchforaday]

Hi Carol Ann! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story. ❤ You made my day! 🥰 Well, at least I'm sure the whole room smelled divine of Chanel N 5 for days. What a wonderful memory. I am one of the people who love Baccarat Rouge 540. I think it's a very unique composition. It's not for everyone, that's for sure. La vie est belle L'eclat is gorgeous. My partner loves it too. It's one of his favorites. Thank you for watching my videos and for the kindest words. It means so much to me. Have a wonderful week! xoxo

When you spoke of Chanel No.5 and your dear mother, it made me realize how much scent plays a part in our memories.

Thank you for this video on iconic French perfumes, Angela. 🥂🇫🇷 I’m also a Francophile, and I’ve passed women on the streets of Paris and elsewhere on my travels in France and would be struck by the elegance and sophistication of the fragrances they wore. 💃 The fragrances/perfumes were intoxicating and unlike anything I had ever experienced before.

Für mich ist dieser Duft eine Aussage. 🤩

I love my Hermes Un Jardin en Mediterranee - I discovered it many years ago while I was in Paris, and ever since I have been repurchasing it many times. I was in Paris this January and picked up the new Guerlain Aqua Allegoria - of course what makes it special is the fact I bought it in our favorite city. I must add, you encouraged me to switch up more my perfumes and be more adventurous with it and I’ve been enjoying it so much. So thank you again for your inspiration!

I loved what you said about your mother and Chanel No. 5. My mom recently passed away, she was sick for a long time, so for me it has been the opposite journey with fragrances. I have recently started to purchase some of the fragrances that I remember the most from her like Trésor or Opium. It sort of felt as something I couldn't do while she was alive, but now is very comforting for me to be able to smell those fragrances again and remember the times before Alzheimer's took over her.

[@erikawilliford9999]

Hi lovely lady! I so agree about Allure! It is an elegant fragrance that is overlooked often. I’m wearing it today in fact! Have a lovely weekend!

[@abc-wv4in]

My first real bottle of perfume was a tiny bottle of Lanvin "My Sin." My daddy gave it to me as one of my Christmas gifts when I was young. I thought it was too strong at the time and only used a little of it, but the bottle is beautiful. I have kept it all these decades in my jewelry chest. I can't get the stopper out now! The perfume has not turned cloudy and I would love to open it. I might like it now. The top of the stopper has the Lanvin Mother and Daughter. A nice stroll down memory lane.

My mother used a very beautiful perfume from Lancom the iconic Climat which not too many people know about today but it was very popular and only got discontinued like 10-15 years ego as per when my mother couldn’t find it. But it was the most beautiful fragrance I can remember and I always borrowed it. It’s like nothing else that can be compared to. It had that magical smell. Don’t know why Lancom discontinued it.

[@oi-ub2nl]

I agree with you. I loved that smell!!

[@mieczyslawapascoe7234]

Yes, I remember Climat. It was a lovely floral green.

[@Frenchforaday]

Hi Chloe! I've never smelled this one but I just looked at the notes and it sounds divine. I would have loved to try this perfume. It sounds like a gorgeous fragrance. It's so sad when brands discontinue old classics. Sometimes they are forced to do it because certain ingredients get banned (usually by IFRA - The International fragrance association or the EU Commission) so it's a matter of legislation. The EU commission banned a lot of perfume ingredient in the past 10 years which lead to reformulation of older perfumes and discontinuing of some.

[@victoriamyst4742]

It was my mom’s perfume, too🥰🥰 They recently released a super limited edition of Climat in some exclusively designed collectible bottle and only made a small batch and it was outrageously expensive. It would be generous and thoughtful of Lancôme to bring a regular Climat back, so many women would have purchased it out of nostalgia at least. Her other two signature fragrances at the time were Paloma Picasso and J’ai osé. My favorite French fragrance back from the day when I was a teenager (and a sadly discontinued one) was Les belles by Nina Ricci, it was super unique, with a note of tomato flowers. Man, what would I give to have it again now.

Hello, nice and informative movie, good with new inspiration 👌 I know 3 of the scents. And will definitely try Chanel Allure. However, my favorite is not French, but American. Clinique Aromatics Elixir. I have used it since I was very young, and always return to it. It is a bit heavy, so less is best, but also a bit mysterious and timeless. Hope you will make more fragrance films. 🤞🤗

Hello Angela! I’ve been enjoying your videos since the start of this year; you present beauty topics with an easy, elegant style. Today’s video really resonated with me: a family friend gave me Arpège eau de parfum spray in the 70s when I was perhaps a bit too young to appreciate its complexity. And my mother also wore Chanel No. 5 as her only fragrance; like you, I have kept her last bottle. My favorite French fragrance is probably Byzance by Rochas…its sumptuousness reminds me of fun nights out in the the late 80s. Thank you for the demonstrative elements you weave into your content; I have learned about some items I’d like to try this spring and others I can leave. Cheers!

[@Frenchforaday]

Hi Laurie :) A huge thank you for the kindest words and for watching my videos. It means so much to me. I agree there some fragrances such as Arpège and Chanel N 5 that are more complex and can be appreciated over time as we gain a little more experience. I've smelled Byzance by Rochas but I will go and try it again. I remember it was a beautiful perfume. Thank you for mentioning it. I think I actually received a sample recently. I believe they released a new flanker... but I can't be sure. Have a wonderful week! xoxo

My favorite French fragrance is an eau de toilette called La Violette by Goutal. I love violet fragrances. This one is my favorite but it doesn't last long on the skin. Another French perfume that I own is Guerlain's Insolence. It is also a violet forward fragrance but I find it a bit sweeter smelling than La Violette, which I am not crazy about. The bottle is so pretty though and they engraved my name on the bottle which is a special touch. Of course, Chanel's Coco Noir needs a mention. It has been in my collection for a long time.

My favorites are Tresor Midnight Rose by Lancôme, Idylle by Lancôme and now I’m craving for Addict EDP by Dior.

[@bonniehelms6798]

I also loved Joy by Jean Patou. I wish LVMH would bring it back. Mon Guerlain Intense, YSL Libre and Libre Intense, Coco, Coco Madamaselle, L’Interdit by Givenchy.

[@Frenchforaday]

Hi Bonnie! These are all gorgeous perfumes that I adore! Thank you so much for mentioning those. xoxo

[@abc-wv4in]

Something that looks and is marketed as Joy by Jean Patou is widely available at reputable retailers in the U.S. still. I'm a bit confused as it's supposed to have been discontinued. (I'm not referring to the Dior version.) I'm about to order some and I hope it is the real deal; it appears to be.

Fragonard is very under rated ...... I have many perfumes by them and they never disappoint!

I dont know if Rojas was made in France but I smelled it at Neimans and it was heavenly. I ended up with Royal tobacco by Amouge Still love Must by Cartier and Chanel 5

[@Frenchforaday]

Hi Melinda! :) Roja Perfumes is a British perfumery house. Amourage are made in Oman. Both houses create gorgeous perfumes. They are classified as niche brands I believe and the perfumes are quite unique. I think I haven't smelled Royal Tobacco but it sounds very intriguing. Must by Cartier is a gorgeous smooth leather/vanilla fragrance. 😍 I see you like more unique perfumes :)

[@Frenchforaday]

Hi Andrea! You mentioned some of my all time favorite perfumes. I adore each of these. Have a great weekend! xoxo

[@christinah.8504]

have you tried any of the Chanel Les Exclusifs perfumes?

[@Frenchforaday]

Hi Christina! :) Yes, Almost all of them. These are some gorgeous creations. Truly exquisite scents from the House of Chanel. Gardenia, Beige, 1957, No 22 are my all time favorites! I only wish they would start offering them in smaller sized bottles too. xoxo

[@christinah.8504]

@@Frenchforaday , I agree. They are quite expensive but the Beige is my favorite of the line and I love Allure Sensuelle.

[@christineh342]

I really liked "Voyage en Méditerranée Immortelle de Corse" by L'Occitane. The fragrance with natural immortelle extract is subtly sweet and spicy, warm. I enjoyed it on cooler autumn days. Unfortunately the perfume is discontinued.

[@Frenchforaday]

Hi Christine! I haven't smelled this fragrance. It sounds lovely. L'Occitane make some good perfumes. xoxo

[@Tof235]

Champs Elysees and Shalimar by Guerlain, 1932 and Coco Mademoiselle EDP and Allure EDP by Chanel, Organza and Ange ou Demon by Givenchy, Eau de Merveilles and Un Jardin sur la Lagune by Hermes, Tresor EDP by Lancome.

[@susanlupton-smith7861]

YSL is one of the first perfumes I bought.

[@babettedonadio1788]

Shalimar- eternal!

[@Frenchforaday]

I fully agree! This is one of the perfumes that I wanted to mention in a next video. Timeless beautiful classic!

[@traceylindsay5169]

I’ve recently found Chanel No. 22 and I’m surprised how lovely it is. Feminine and soft. What do you think of it?

[@jeannadesisto8705]

My favorite French perfume is Bleu by Paul & Joe. It was created by Pierre Bourdon, its described as amber and it was a scent made for me. It was discontinued. I was devastated. Since then I have gone back to an American perfume that is not trendy but it's a classic, Youthdew by Estée Lauder. I would love to learn about Fragonard perfume. There is nothing more personal than finding a scent that feels like it was created for you.
