Perfumes -THE GUIDE. My Favourite 5-Star Perfumes.

[@yvespiderssmells9956]

What a wonderful idea for a video! I've also been geeking out over Mr. Turin's videos. So much to learn. My favorite 5 star fragrances for now are Osmanthe Yunnan and L'Heure Bleue. I think i tend to like more of their 4-star fragrances

[@TheScentinel]

Yeah, i am sure i have several 4 stars as well. The Guide does love Guerlains

[@Finn959]

Now they’re all set to private 😭

[@lisaesposito7317]

This was a fun one! I haven’t tried most of these. Looking forward to trying Ormonde Jayne Woman and will give Patch 24 another sniff.

[@TheScentinel]

Thanks Lisa

[@troybradberry118]

I only have the first guide. It was a fun read. Just checked and surprisingly have quite a few of the 5 star perfumes too. I've watched some of Luca Turin's videos. Will eventually get around to all of them. Great video!...and your hair looks fantastic longer.

[@TheScentinel]

Thank you.

[@Sebmar24]

A review of the 1 star rated scents would be great (: maybe also some 5 star that you disagree with? Of your list we agree on Ormande Woman, Fate Woman and Timbukto - did they survive the culling machine? 🙃

[@ipurvi]

This is amazing. Can’t wait to watch Mr Turin’s videos

[@TheScentinel]

Thanks Purvi

[@tinamanske2865]

The guide is fun to read, it's not only about reviews, but has a poetic aspect as well. It often makes me smile, even if I disagree - how they can butcher a fragrance in just two or three words, brilliant. I have some of those 5* perfumes, the latest aquisition being Rive Gauche. But I still have to try Fate Woman.

[@TheScentinel]

I do like the poetic aspect as well

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great 📹 and I enjoyed it and me and my wife are going these fragrances and have a blessed day

[@TheScentinel]

You too Michael.

[@michaelbullock8011]

Thank you very much

[@AndreasVibes]

That’s an interesting concept. I don’t know whether I’ve got a lot of 5 star fragrances, but I am going to have a look at the guide again. Hmm, I’ve got at least two of the fragrances you mentioned and actually got one because of your glorious review 😉.

[@TheScentinel]

Am i right to think you have Laddm Andreas?

[@AndreasVibes]

The Scentinel Yes! And NY Intense 😊! But that’s about it...

[@radeque]

Yes, I'm always curious when I read one of their 5 star reviews.. So I went and ordered samples of all of those that were available. I was pleased with most of them.. can't think of any which I totally disliked.

[@TheTopNote]

You have great taste Pep! And I did not even know that Ormonde Woman had been rated 5 stars. I am surprised by that, not because I don’t think it’s wonderful (clearly I do) but because I don’t often agree with Turin’s ratings haha.

[@TheScentinel]

Yeah, Ormonde Man got 5 as well, and i don't care for that one.

[@justaddlight]

Agreed. I'm more than happy with the current Habit Rouge edt too. I think my love for it is partly due to the profound catharsis I experienced several years after initially smelling it. My first impression as a young buck was "Ugh. Gramps be poppin'." Literally word for word. 🤣 Four years later, "a genteel acquisition for the nobly astute." Seems I've come a long way. At least, that's what SHE said.

[@TheScentinel]

Sounds like we share a similar experience with it.

[@JohmathanBSwift]

If you get the chance, and haven't yet , sample Annick's Ambre Fetchie. I got a 5ml decant of it a couple years back, and broke it out today. I really like it. Kinda falls in line with Ambre Sultan some. Love NY Intense , 1740 , The Caron's The Caron's and Guerlian's at the price they sell for , it's so nice.

[@TheScentinel]

I love Ambre Fetiche. Been looking for a bottle

[@Sambuccashake]

New York Intense is no doubt up there for me. Have yet to sample some of the ones on your list though. Cheers!

[@TheScentinel]

Lots to smell

[@metalsmithnick8714]

Thank for the link! Love it and il nerd out equally

[@beesofst.ambrose9306]

Leather that's seen a few things:)) well said!

[@TheScentinel]

Ah, i love that scent so much

[@dcjimr1]

Really interesting video. I just recently blind bought Timbuktu (partially because of your recommendation)...an amazing fragrance and the longevity is unreal. I have a sample of Ormonde Woman and love it. It will probably be a full bottle within the next few months. Cheers, Pep.

[@TheScentinel]

Thank you Jim. Good choicebon the OW

[@lyndonearlington5986]

Pep love this video very nice.

[@TheScentinel]

Thank you

[@lyndonearlington5986]

@@TheScentinel your welcome pep

[@Danvekony]

Great Idea, and great video! From my collection I adore Parchouli 24; Bogue - MEM; Auphorie - Miyako; Chanel - 31 Rue Cambon; Lush - Breath of God! I really want to add Derby and a vintage Mitsouko!

[@TheScentinel]

I need to smell Breath of God

[@Danvekony]

The Scentinel The best £25 i have ever spent! Also comes in 30ml which is great! I am so 100% sure you will love it

[@amnaaziz3840]

Dear Pep, Intrigued by Patchouli 24 the most a fragrance that I have not tried yet. Thanks a million

[@TheScentinel]

It isn't to everyone's tast, but interested to read what you think

[@theudopantograph]

Interesting, I need to check out the guide. Also, it'd be interesting to see the single and middle stars too.

[@TheScentinel]

This blog has them... scentertainer.net/en/new-top-list-perfumes-5-stars-luca-turin-2018/

[@Lee-ofar]

Nice video!

[@QuestioningScents]

Excellent video buddy. Loved it. Luca seems to hate most of my favourites 😂 . Although I agree with him on the NYI and the Carons

[@TheScentinel]

He does love the Caron masculines.

[@QuestioningScents]

@@TheScentinel Very true buddy

[@jasonthedogcatcher]

Love your stuff mate. Being from Oz, did you ever get to try any of Christopher Chronis stuff? He was a Melbourne fashion designer and released a couple of fragrances. Both the men’s and women’s Christos fragrances (crucifix shaped bottles) were amazing.

[@TheScentinel]

No i didn't ever try those.

[@AnnieS22]

very interesting video! I discovered that I have quite a few 5 star perfumes! lol! 👍🌺

[@TheScentinel]

Which ones?

[@AnnieS22]

@@TheScentinel Guerlain classics and some others. I'm feeling inspired to do a video about them! 😊

[@Amyleonhardt947]

Is there a noticeable mossy/chypre character to Azemour Les Orangers?

[@TheScentinel]

For me there is, pretty much once you get through the orange top. But i would describe it as a dry chypre in the base

[@JT-rx1eo]

The best Amouage I've smelled is Bracken Man. The most photorealistic Fougere ever.

[@JoeBur]

Caron - le 3e Homme is excellent.

[@TheScentinel]

For sure.

[@dspada67]

Interesting stuff Pep. I own beyond Paradise for Men, another controversial 5 star . Have you sniffed it? Caio

[@TheScentinel]

No i haven't mate. I have seen it at the odd Chemistwarehouse though.

[@dspada67]

The Scentinel into an interesting one. I really like it a lit, different, well complimented for me.

[@michaelharness3258]

Good day!

[@RichMitch]

I think Turin's book goes against what it means to be a fragrance collector/enthusiast.

[@TheScentinel]

How so?

[@RichMitch]

@@TheScentinel because i think there's no accounting for taste. His "guide" is a Chronicle, a Chronicle of his journey and his taste. He's not teaching anyone anything, he's expounding his opinion and presenting himself as an "expert"

[@TheScentinel]

@@RichMitch yeah, just like anyone else. I am interested in how he perceives perfume because of the scientific background he's coming from. But i don't take anyone's opinion too seriously.

[@RM-is3ev]

you had me at "Luca Turin" ;-)

[@TheScentinel]

That was easy

[@michaelharness3258]

My latest find is from the house of KRIGLER. 100ml. #75... and I also received mr smelly aka.dan gravitas! Both have a beautiful dry down. Do you have an email address or a Facebook account? I would like to send you some pics of my collection.
