MY ENTIRE VINTAGE FRAGRANCE COLLECTION | MAY 2020

[@KitschyKay]

I love this video it's not often I see KZbinrs talk about vintages. I love vintages.

[@thecuriousperfumer]

Kay LovesPerfume I just subbed to your channel! You have some great content!!

[@KitschyKay]

@@thecuriousperfumer aw thank you 😊lol it will get much better. I just bought a new house so the setup and quality will improve 😂

[@Joss-Fragrance-Mixology]

I loved this! A trip down memory lane. I never wore Obsession back in the day but recently discovered it and it's gorgeous! 💙💜💚😊

[@scentsofvirgomoon]

Many fragrances in my collection are vintage - Solely because I enjoy the journey each scent takes me on. They really don't make fragrances the same these days, If I should be completely honest. My favorite vintage fragrance in my collection is Elizabeth Arden Blue Grass. It was my paternal Gradmother's signature scent, and I wear it in honor of her since she passed before I was born (and it's such a beautiful scent). Other favorites in my collection are Tabu, Youth Dew, Coty Emeraude, Revlon Ciara, Jontue, and Halston. I ordered a bottle of Je Reviens this morning, along with Myurgia's Maja - so I'm definitely excited to have those classics in my collection!

[@thecuriousperfumer]

WOW! You have some truly VERY vintage fragrances! I have seen Blue Grass on websites like FragranceX.com and have been tempted to get it since it has a clove note. Is the clove very detectable? I love clove! Thanks for your comment...love hearing about your vintages!

[@scentsofvirgomoon]

​@@thecuriousperfumer When I wear blue grass, the lavender and aldehydes are the most prominent in the first spray. Those two create a powdery, dry, somewhat sweet blend. After that, it softens and the clove and carnation balance it out. It really settles into a scent I can only classify as a really nice vintage soap. Quite beautiful. Thank you for sharing your lovely collection! Looking forward to checking out more videos on your channel!

[@Juliamiller56]

Remember TWEED?

[@MontagZoso]

Great collection! Halston is my daily scent and my personal favorite. Youth Dew is also amazing! I’ve never heard of Blue Grass, so I need to check that out!

[@lancedukel3436]

Rochas Femme is my favorite vintage. An iconic French perfume.

[@thecuriousperfumer]

Absolutely!

[@sparklyunicorn5431]

Yay! More vintage please! I have Halston, Paloma Picasso, Clinique Aromatics Elixir, Youthdew, Cabochard, and Femme by Rochas.

[@thecuriousperfumer]

You have some real gems!

[@Juliamiller56]

❤️Jil Sander & Isabella Rossellini, can’t remember the name of it..

[@MontagZoso]

Wow, you and I have almost exact taste in fragrance! Halston, Cabotine and Paloma, my 3 favorites. I have been wanting to try AE and Cabochard, haha. Almost eerie!

[@christieo1761]

The oldest fragrance I have is EL's Tuscany Per Donna. I bought it when it first came out in 1992. I used to wear Lou Lou too! :) Ah, memories! Thanks for the walk down memory lane!

[@thecuriousperfumer]

Christie O Tuscany!! That one was pretty strong as well if I remember correctly. My MIL is trying to find Ambush 🤣 SOOOOOO vintage! Thanks for watching!

[@christieo1761]

@@thecuriousperfumer Ambush! Ooo-wee!

[@MarcePaz2008]

[@lovelymoon3719]

Exclamation!!! I remember so clearly loving it when I was a teen.

[@Zlervo]

I have a bottle of that.

[@mariepeil4868]

Excellent video! It really took me down memory lane. I also used EA Blue Grass, Anais Anais by Casharel, CD Tendre Poison, & YSL Champagne.

[@thecuriousperfumer]

Nice ones!!! I have always heard of Blue Grass but I have yet to smell it. The others you mentioned are real winners!! Thanks for watching and for commenting ♥️

[@jdolani]

I love these videos. I’m wearing a vintage perfume today. I heard about it on KZbin. Bill Blass Nude. It smells so nice on me.

[@thecuriousperfumer]

J Anderson Ohhhh that’s a great one!!! Very aldehyde fragrance and it smells so vintage but in a good way. Thanks for watching!!! ♥️

[@Gitanarosa]

I want to try that perfume. Oh the good old days

[@Gitanarosa]

Exclamation was my first perfume! It smells different now. I used to wear Irvin the 5th grade in 1990

[@ynnatheb0mb]

ooohhh i love videos like this! i love vintage perfumes! very potent juice! 💕

[@thecuriousperfumer]

ynnathebomb Thanks for watching!! Yes, the oldies are hard to beat sometimes 💗

[@thecuriousperfumer]

17:48 I added bonus video of 3 fragrances in my collection that I found shortly after filming 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 (of course)

[@TheTopNote]

The Curious Perfumer 🤣 I do this all the time - well done for bothering to add it in! I usually note it for next time and move on lol

[@thecuriousperfumer]

Haha I was afraid I would forget! 🤣

[@timme2844]

Thank you very very much for posting this! I tend to collect vintage fragrance just simply for the sake of preservation... Of course I wear and enjoy many of them but some of them I don't think I've ever heard of ( and wouldn't EVER wear and probably most of us haven't or wouldn't LOL but they are nice little snapshots of what history was when those fragrances were produced and maybe even popular... Thank you again so so much! A great start to my day! Just as a quick little side note I still remember the commercial for Enjoli..." I can bring home the bacon, duh nah nah nant, fry it up in a pan, duh nah nah nant, and never never never, let you forget you're a man! ENJOLI !".... Too funny hahaha!

[@sarahannsmith3129]

I remember that old commercial!

[@Zlervo]

Obsession was my first perfume and it was the atomiser which had the spray button within the lid.

[@thecuriousperfumer]

Wow that’s the old one!! How nice! ♥️

[@lovelymoon3719]

Clinique simply was my LOVE. Broke my heart when it was discontinued. I would give up my collection in exchange for that one to come back.

[@thecuriousperfumer]

Lovely Moon I know what you mean....I was distraught when I heard it was being discontinued. Never have figured out why 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

[@Gitanarosa]

Great video. I just bought a 2006 miss Dior Cherie!! I have an old Ma Graffe by Carven that we got in the 90’s at a yard sale and I absolutely love it!!!

[@thecuriousperfumer]

Wow!! You hit the jackpot!!

[@Juliamiller56]

MaGriffe is a favorite of mine But it Reminds me of my mother’s lesbian days. Lol. I love it

[@Gitanarosa]

@@Juliamiller56 lol

[@Gitanarosa]

@@thecuriousperfumer I do love them

[@Juliamiller56]

Blue Waltz used to gag me as a child Evening in Paris was not so bad. Chantilly, Heaven Scent & Windsong remind me of childhood neighbors & babysitters

[@MsLadywindsor]

I wear Royal Secret also the original non clear glass bottle of Emeraude. Discontinued Intrigue cologne by Mary Kay Another LouLou ,,Spectacular by Joan Collins. Original Basic Instinct by Victoria Secret.

[@bjbt0586]

I find that anything older than 2000 ages well, perfumes that I have pre-2000 hasn't gone rancid. The ones I have from around 2005-2016 smells "off."

[@thecuriousperfumer]

Good observation....I’m wondering if the quality was simply better then or if there were more oils in the frags back then that helped preserve them.

[@MoniqueSinha]

Beautiful collection ❤️

[@berylroberts131]

Intimate perfume, by Jean Phillipe. Very cheap, but it smells very expensive. A very age appropriate scent, for the mature woman. It's one of my favourite fragrances. I also love, and wear Madam Rochas.

[@thecuriousperfumer]

These sound divine!

[@rebeccarains177]

Yes get my intimate from fragrance net. Smells like perfume , no candy , foodie scents of today. It last all day and then some , I'm mature, over 60 😃

[@Juliamiller56]

I was stuck on Geoffrey Beanes Grey Flannel in 1978 & Zaftig

[@naturopathicobsessedrenee5515]

Your collection represents my entire high school experience. I still love all of them and trying to gather them into my current collection.

[@thecuriousperfumer]

Naturopathicobsessed Renee How fun! Yes, it closely resembles mine as well 😄

[@Juliamiller56]

Lots of old perfumes remind me of my mom & great grandmother, she was stuck on 20 Carats for a long time. Mom went from My Sin & Arpege to a long spell of KIKU until MaGriffe took over. Also a spell of Canoe for men

[@thecuriousperfumer]

I remember that 20 carats one. I think I had it 😅

[@TheTopNote]

Great list! I had a bottle of Miss Dior Cherie that someone gave me because of the name- it was too sweet for me though and I offloaded it, but I kinda wish I kept it now. Although I don't think the red Samsara bottle was the original bottle, but the red was around for a while so some of them would definitely be vintage! ;) Xx

[@TheCherysTv]

I really enjoyed this video !

[@Olliesmom]

Hello ... I don't have any vintage perfume. Most vintage of mine is Rocha lumier (don't even know if that counts )

[@thecuriousperfumer]

Olliesmom It sure does! (In my book anyway!) lol

[@godfatherparfumsEN]

Nice collection!

[@mhyla317]

I have Fidji by Guy Laroche and also cool water which me and my husband really love, its a very cool perfume, i didnt even thought its vintage. Great video :)

[@thecuriousperfumer]

Sweet Scents Well technically I don’t think it’s considered ‘vintage’ by Fragrantica standards but Cool Water was released in 1988, so its vintage in my book 🤣🤣🤣 To me, anything 80s or 90s is vintage. I have never heard of the Fidgi one....I’ll have to go look that one up. Thanks for watching!! ♥️

[@mhyla317]

The Curious Perfumer oh im not sure if fidgi is considered vintage, but it smells absolutely vintage 🤣

[@MontagZoso]

I didn’t know Cool Water was vintage either!

[@perfumee5962]

I have a 50 year old chanel no 5 perfume from my grandmother. Half of the bottle was used by my grandmother in the past. And it was stored in the right conditions. Do you mind if I smell this perfume? If a perfume is stored in the right conditions, can it be used even if it is 50 years old?😊

That's actually a good benchmark.

My best vintage perfumes are eden by cacharel and gucci rush 😍 did you try them!

[@thecuriousperfumer]

I’m goodness yes!! Those are so good. 😍

[@meissameissa9804]

@@thecuriousperfumer can you help to find a modern new fragrance that smells little bit like eden by cacharel pleaaase

[@thecuriousperfumer]

10:57 oops 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@KitschyKay]

I have a tabu from the 40s and it's incredible. Also I have a bunch of vintages lol. I have vintage youth dew and Chanel no 5 too I love spicy vintages best

[@thecuriousperfumer]

Kay LovesPerfume ahhh I remember Tabu!! That was one of my favorites back then. Youth Dew had that black juice if I remember correctly?

[@KitschyKay]

@@thecuriousperfumer yes youth dew juice is super duper dark and it is such a powerful scent. The beginning is very sharp and aldehydic but it settles down to an nice spicy cinnamon cosmetic powder smell. It's very unique and most people nowadays have a lot of trouble sitting through the top notes. They are very harsh but the dry down is worth it. Super long lasting too.

[@vintagegirl68]

Does perfume last for 20 years? Does it go bad? Just wondering

[@thecuriousperfumer]

I’m pretty sure it depends on the quality of the fragrance to begin with. Over time, the top notes dissipate but sometimes, if kept in a cool/dark location and not disturbed much, it can certainly last 20+ years. My mom used to have one that was nearly 30 years old but it was an original Shalimar and kept in a cool and dark place. Shalimar would have comprised of quality oils and other ingredients vs a cheaper brand so it definitely still smelled just like Shalimar. So I guess it depends on several factors.

[@Juliamiller56]

Does anyone recall LALURA I used to loves it but I had to order even in the 80s

[@thecuriousperfumer]

I remember that one too. I can’t find it though. My MIL loves Ambush by Dana but that is not able to be found.

[@gladysgrossman8471]

Bijon

[@ellisavitulli3772]

How do you know the batch codes?

[@thecuriousperfumer]

Ellisa Vitulli Hey! Just look on the bottom of the bottle and you should see a 3-5 digit number on there. When you find it, just put that number into the checkfresh.com website. Pretty neat!

[@TheMagnolia113]

I wish I could find a botle of Dior Tendre Poison....😔😔

[@thecuriousperfumer]

It’s so expensive and hard to find now 😩

[@vintagedesignerfinds836]

Please rename this discontinued perfumes or pre-reformulation. Vintage is technically anything over 20 years old. However, within the perfume community, vintage is considered pre-1980.

Do you have colors by Bennington? My mom wore that as well as Emerulde.
