New perfumes Nov 2024 feat. Puente, DKNY, Edeniste, All Saints & more on Love At First Scent ep 504

Quincester is a Firmenich captive which is just pear ester with an additional double bond, so (2E ,4Z,7Z)-deca-2,4,7-trienoate. It has a lower odor threshold than pear ester but is still not convincingly quince. Prominent use of pear ester can be found in Dior's Higher. Another beautiful and costly material in this olfactory realm is Williams' ester (cis-3-hexenyl cis-3-hexenoate) which is greener but very naturalistic.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for this. The connection with Higher is interesting.

On DKNY: "I think he is particularly skilled working w tight budgets"! On All Saints: "My first impression is that this is a rose that's never been ravaged" 🤣. You were on a roll today. Are these compliments? Rhetorical question of course. I do like the brand's clothing a lot though.

[@Persolaise]

Well, my DK comment was definitely a compliment. Thanks for watching.

[@MoahGentle]

Mamajuju sounds interesting. The $220 for 50ml sounds steep for me but I may check out a sample of it anyhow.

[@Persolaise]

I’d say it’s worth sampling. Many thanks for watching.

I Still have my Cashmere Mist and the body lotion. Still smells brand new.

[@Persolaise]

Treasure it.

[@LiaAndrews]

Thank you for the informative and entertaining reviews once again. I think "made with neuroscientists in mind" was probably more accurate 😂 The DKNY bottle isn't my style but I appreciate the creative gesture.

[@Persolaise]

At least it’s eye-catching, right?

[@anadanaya]

Cashmere Mist is back on the DK website. BTW Does anyone know where to get these fragrances in the EU?

[@Persolaise]

Oh, really? I’ll have to check it out.

[@susanlukovskaya6159]

Love Galavant!

[@Persolaise]

Excellent. Thanks for watching.

[@moosec6782]

They've found a way to bottle the world's depression 😂

[@Persolaise]

Ha! Thanks for watching.

[@alanhansen8218]

DKNY “dumbbell” - well, you’re half right

[@Persolaise]

If you say so 😉

[@MADS-1984]

Love Galavant. Love Puente. It reminds me a little bit of both Samsara and Bois des Iles. A comforting and creamy scent for these unsettling times. Thank you and the Live Chat for the laughs.

[@Persolaise]

Thank you - the Bois Des Iles comparison is excellent too.

[@bozoc2572]

Maybe the tendency to disparage modern scents while praising vintage ones stems from the rich, long history of great perfumes. Modern perfumes simply need to stand the test of time to determine which will be considered exceptional and which will fade away.

[@Persolaise]

Yes, exactly. Thanks for watching.

[@mydearaurora]

I wish Vyrao would instead of hiding behind neuroscience-y and wellness just go full blown witchcraft, spirituality, woo-woo! And not shy away from it, I think that is much more fun, colorful and interesting I feel like that would feel much more sincere and fitting for the brand but maybe that just me! It's like they're trying to sterilize the magical part of themselves and make it more presentable with the whole wellness thing

[@Persolaise]

I wonder if they would have got some criticism if they’d done that. Thanks very much for watching.

[@mydearaurora]

@@Persolaise haha I guess they would have gotten some criticism either way, in the end I think it will probably come down to the intention and where they are coming from although I feel like perfumery being used in spiritual practices are not new but they are sort of stay in their own niche/bubble of people who do those kind of practice and they are being used in a completely different way almost practical in a sense like this is for cleasing that is for protection which I find very fascinating!
