❣❣❣Brilliant as always and so enjoyable. My only fragrance for many years at work was AdP Colonia because it was so clean and didn't offend those poor souls who were intolerant to scent.

[@Persolaise]

Tante Lapin Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words. I hope your colleagues appreciated your restraint. I’m afraid I’m not so considerate 😉

[@i.l.746]

I have thoroughly enjoyed your commentary. Gushing with joy 😊. Thank you for the introduction to Parfum Quartana! 😍

[@Persolaise]

That's wonderful -- thank YOU for watching. And actually, you've made me think that I ought to find out what the brand has been up to lately.

[@MrJwhdz1]

So excited to see you preview parfums quartana! This line is most intriguing and would love to see you do a video on the full range 🙂

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for watching :-) I'll see what I can do. Perhaps that could be one of my innovations for 2018: single-brand videos...?

[@ImagineScent]

I love Parfums Quartana! Those two are amazing. Also Mandrake and Blood Flower are two very interesting ones as well. Please keep making these videos! I love how to poetic and knowledgeable you are. Big fan :)

[@Persolaise]

Imagine Scent What a wonderful comment to receive, thank you :-) And yes, it’s a brand that deserves more attention, right?

[@anthonyedmunds762]

Another wonderful episode. Thank you. I like your idea of an episode that showcases just one house. Hope you get the time and chance to do that.

[@Persolaise]

Anthony Edmunds Thanks so much for watching. I’m also beginning to think that a ‘single brand’ video might work well. I’ll see what I can do 😉

[@yelenakesselman5868]

Going through your videos from the beginning, so apologies if you’ve addressed these already. 1. YES in regards to a showcase video of a new or niche house! 2. Datura Noir is one of my staple fragrances, especially for fall/winter so quite interested in trying Midnight Datura. 3. Would love any and all videos from you. Brilliant and so engaging in your approach. Would love to know your favorites by note/house/season/year etc. Haha. Just want to thank you for your work. It’s truly inspiring.

[@Persolaise]

Wow, that's so kind, thank you. And thanks also for taking the time to leave a comment. I've done a few brand-specific videos now, so hopefully you've found them.

[@umaa4658]

So glad to have found your channel!

[@Persolaise]

Üma Å Thanks very much 😊

[@lizseville1]

Great review - so intrigued by Quartana.

[@Persolaise]

Liz Seville Thanks so much for watching. Yes, it’s a brand that deserves more attention.

[@raraavis7772]

Un Air de Bretagne was memorable for me because I love L’Artisan and hated this one. Calone and seaweed. 🤢 It never settled down for me and remained overwhelming.

[@Persolaise]

Oh dear. Well... at least you tried it. Thanks for watching.

[@davidthom7127]

I'm tired of people being snooty about ozonic fragrances. I get that they are not everyones taste but for the people that like them I think one should be more respectful.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. I absolutely agree that everyone should wear whichever perfumes they personally enjoy wearing. For me, I guess disrespect and disagreement aren't the same thing. If I don't agree with someone's opinion of an ozonic perfume, that doesn't mean I'm disrespecting them. On the contrary: I may disagree with their opinion, but I can totally respect it :-)

[@johndavid4007]

I've never tried anything by Acqua di Parma until one day I tried the original Colonia. One word came immediately to mind (which is a word that we get directly from Italian, interestingly enough): sprezzatura.

[@Persolaise]

John David Yes! Bingo! And this is the problem with live videos. I’m aware of the term - and I think I used it in a written review somewhere - but I couldn’t remember it while talking about this release. Thanks for reminding me. And thanks so much for watching.

[@johndavid4007]

You're so very welcome. Thank you for continuing to make the time to get in front of the camera and tell us about what you love. It's truly infectious.

[@Persolaise]

John David Well, it’s a pleasure. Thanks again for watching.

[@MrAmirr76]

ANOTHER SUPER WONDERFUL EPISODE***!THX A BUNCH Ps. what happened with the Happy shirts bro?? :)

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for watching. And I guess I need to raid the more colourful half of my wardrobe for next time :-D

[@perfumistarachie5878]

Im loving my Tender perfume. Miller Harris are probably my favourite house after Guerlain (obviously!) I get a sharpish note from time to time which i love. Just wondering if you’ve tried Erato by Duchaufour for Brocard.....i own and i find it berry and pepper and im not sure i find much more depth. Not many reviews of it about the place! Love your vids and i need more because i revisit often! Xx

[@Persolaise]

Rachel, thanks very much for watching and taking the time to write. No, I've heard of Erato, but I've never tried it. Sounds wonderful :-) The next Facebook Live broadcast will be on Sunday, which means the KZbin edit version should be available 2 or 3 days after that.

[@nastyfyme]

"Hardened passion" is not smth I would expect from Aqua Di Parma 😁

[@Persolaise]

True. Thanks for watching.
