Persolaise Love At First Scent 07 - live perfume reviews - feat. Guerlain, Byredo, Penhaligon's

[@jenic_7455]

After 12 hours of a long day at work, no words describe how wonderful it is to find a video from you has been uploaded. Like a present on Christmas. This viewer’s location is in the US, South Carolina. Your 3pm is my 9am. You are brilliant and a delight to listen to and to watch. Your videos make my day, even if it’s the end of mine before I can watch. Thank you. 🙏 -Jennifer

[@Persolaise]

Photojenic74 Oh my goodness, what a wonderful thing to say! Thank you so much 🙏 I have the best viewers!

[@Flaconesse]

50% Polish, 50% Iranian, 100% Gentleman. Thank you for explaning your nickname, yes it sounds a bit like personal mayonnaise but who cares? It definitely stays in mind. When I was searching for a suitable nickname for a perfume community I had the same idea, that I wanted something that sounds french and more sophisticated. Tu voir ce que je veux dire? It's the language of perfumery and such a melodic one. (Still keeping up with all the previous episodes...) Greetings from Germany 😙

[@Persolaise]

That’s so kind, thank you. And yes, French and perfume go together like rose and patchouli.

[@nastyfyme]

As a 100% Polish I can tell you mayonnaise is a serious matter in Poland :) it always come to a question: team Kielecki or team Winiary 😁 (brands of mayonnaise...)

[@JetPackDino]

My first hazy fever-dream thought: Why is Michael Hutchence talking about perfume? My second: He has a very thoughtful, intelligent perspective on fragrance. I approve of his new career.

[@Persolaise]

😂 This literally made me laugh out loud. Thank you 🙏 And thanks for watching. PS This is one comparison that’s never been made before.

[@vindiola1]

Mexico City here amigo......great stuff! Always looking forward to your next episode, keep them coming.

[@Persolaise]

Hector Vindiola Mexico! 😁 That’s wonderful. Thanks very much for letting me know, and for watching.

[@ipurvi]

So from the very beginning your skill for reading press releases has been very consistent;)

[@Persolaise]

Is that a good thing? 😊

[@ipurvi]

@@Persolaise one of the best things :)

[@elleayah6553]

I'm watching the first 10min of this episode for the third time! It's the best review of Velvet Haze I can find so far, even though it was only your first impression. ❤

[@Persolaise]

Really? That's wonderful. Thanks so much for letting me know. And thanks so much for watching... three times! Have you tried Velvet Haze yet?

[@elleayah6553]

Persolaise Perfumes, I just tried this yesterday. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. I like all the listed notes, but somehow this blend felt a bit sickly. 🤐

[@Persolaise]

That's a shame. Yes, there is a sticky quality to it, I guess. But thanks for letting me know.

[@BangkokHound]

We need more of your 60 second reviews!

[@Persolaise]

Tracy Powell Thanks very much. I’m hoping to record a few more very soon, fingers crossed.

[@enneyehs]

Ah finally I got to the point where the appellation 'Persolaise' is explained from. I love that it is a complete neologism... also I thought it had something to do with Persia :)

[@Persolaise]

Good guess 😉

[@joeribt]

Excellent reviews, many thanks for this!

[@Persolaise]

Thanks so much for watching! :-)

[@perfumistarachie5878]

Love the vids. Just found them. I’d love a video on Miller Harris. 😃 plus when I’m looking on you tube it’s so good you have a different shirt for each broadcast so I know what I’ve seen already! 😂

[@Persolaise]

Rachel Grigg Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment. And yes, the shirts have become quite a ‘thing’ 😂 I’ll have to make sure I wear a different one each time... although I don’t know how I’m going to be able to buy enough! 😆

[@fromtoptobottomp]

Another great episode! Thank you. My favourite Penhaligons is Iris Prima

[@Persolaise]

Thanks so much for watching, Michael. Iris Prima has lots of fans!

[@angelajuneholmes4933]

I have and love Aura and know it’s not a good fragrance . I used to love Angel but these days prefer Angel Muse and some of the Angel flankers . Alien I have come to tolerate and wear occasionally.

[@Persolaise]

If you love it, then don’t worry about what anyone else says about it 😊

[@errata9968]

watching via KZbin from Melbourne, Australia. Weather 30C. Love your reviews.

[@Persolaise]

errata Wow! Amazing. Thanks so much for letting me know. It’s pouring down with rain here as I’m writing these words.

[@heermansdisability]

Have a bottle of herbes troublantes. Love it so much.

[@Persolaise]

Good to know. Thanks very much for watching.

[@BeautyMeow]

fantastic reviews!!

[@Persolaise]

Beauty Meow Thank you so much!

[@angelajuneholmes4933]

I only own one Penhaligon Fragrance and it’s Vaarra and though not my favourite’ I do appreciate its beauty .

[@Persolaise]

Yes, I really like Vaara too. Thanks for watching :-)

[@angelajuneholmes4933]

I take tea black as hate milk and therefore struggle with milky fragrance and have Cream from Fresh and as I do love cream cakes ‘ I thought I could tolerate it but it’s a tough one to love but I do like it .

[@Persolaise]

Oooh, I don’t think I know that one.

[@angelajuneholmes4933]

Persolaise Perfumes I will have to dig it out and think it might be fresh cream by someone else. Got from Harvey Nichols but wasn’t that expensive. .

[@angelajuneholmes4933]

It’s actually called Fresh cream and it’s by Philosophy! No wonder that you had never heard of it .

[@bobbob-xe2ss]

M mink amazing fragrance

[@Persolaise]

It's wonderful, isn't it?

[@yelenakesselman5868]

Oy, quite unfortunate packaging on behalf of Guerlain. Laughed out loud at your “Uncle Serge” comparison. Love narcissus - specifically in Caron’s original formulation of Narcisse Noir. Any narcissus suggestions? Thanks again for a lovely video. Nice combo for your blog name. Big fan. I’m from NYC btw, by way of Russia.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for watching and writing, and for telling me where you're from. I always enjoy finding out those details. Narcissus... hmmm? First one that comes to mind is Ostara, but that's been discontinued.

[@lgsoltek]

Thank you for doing the video! I love these Love at First Scent reviews and your sarcasms. Have you tried Nicolaï's (discontinued) Le Temps d'une Fête? I haven't smelled Ostara but Nicolaï's is a gorgeous narcissus scent. About the Penhaligon's trade routes, I've only smelled As Sawira once, and I strongly agree with you that there's a fakeness about it, very "rudely" synthetic.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks so much for watching, Bill, and for taking the time to leave a comment. No, I don't think I ever tried the Nicolai you mention... and yes, rudely synthetic is a great description. I seem to remember As Sawira was one I particularly disliked.

[@mortenblad]

Nice reviews. 👍

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much for watching 😊

[@tantelapin1807]

OMG who wrote that Byredo blurb? Think I will pass on that one. Not a patchouli fan. But your shirt is very cheerful for a rainy day. I missed the live broadcast...again. Always late to the party...

[@Persolaise]

Tante Lapin Better late than never. And yes, that blurb... 😂 As always, thanks so much for watching.

[@mysterybeta]

Persolaise, your varied shirts also help me navigate through your video playlist when scrolling on a tiny iphone screen, since you’ve chosen not to follow the clickbaity giant-obnoxious-texts-on-thumbnails trend :) 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@Persolaise]

MYSTERYFORMS Beta Oh dear, is that what I’m supposed to do: use those gigantic fonts on my thumbnails? 😂 I’m afraid I just go for the quickest format I can think of. But thank goodness the shirts have a use! Mind you, I’m going to have re-wear some of them soon. I don’t have an endless supply 😆

[@mysterybeta]

Persolaise Perfumes Haha, as long as you avoid wearing the same shade/colour shirt on 2 consecutive videos, we’re good! 😂 Keep doing YOU cos we appreciate you all the more for it! Also, you not succumbing to clickbait tactics shows respect and regard for your viewers/audience ⚡️🙏🏼⚡️

[@Persolaise]

MYSTERYFORMS Beta That’s really kind of you to say, thank you. And I have nothing but respect for all of you. I’m sure I learn much more from you than you do from me during the videos. It’s funny you mention the shirts, because I did consciously try give myself a consistent ‘look’ for all the ‘scenes’ of episode 30 - black black black! 😂

[@L-Ondee]

I have also navigated by shirt at some point. Not always however.

[@Persolaise]

😂

[@РауанЕргалиевна]

Thsnk you

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for watching.

[@MyBaby_Show]

Thanks for movie

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for watching.

[@het_gele_teken]

Watcher from the Netherlands here. Did take a whiff of CDG Concrete recently, as I feared I found it too sweet. BTW any plans to review Note de Yuzu (Heeley)? Cheers!

[@Persolaise]

beftus1264 Thanks so much for writing. I have heard of the new Heeley, but I haven’t tried it yet. I’ll see if I can get a sample. Have you tried it?

[@het_gele_teken]

I have got a bottle already... Bought it blind at the earliest opportunity. Saw it being described as Sel Marin with a yuzu topnote by someone who had smelled it. Since I love Sel Marin... While it's not exactly Sel Marin it does have a similar vibe to it. I really love the bitter/fresh/zesty yuzu note that lasts surprisingly long. Thumbs up!

[@Persolaise]

Ah, fascinating. I'll have to check it out. I think Sel Marin is a rare example of an excellent ozonic scent.

[@themotiondoctor]

The “unwashed hair” note might be phenylacetic acid.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for taking the time to write, and for watching.

[@themotiondoctor]

@@Persolaise- you’re welcome; thanks for making your perfume videos. I thought that because of the “scalp” note in Mandy Aftel’s outta-this-world Memento Mori. Thanks for revealing the sentimental reasons for your nom de fragrance. I’d wondered if it had anything to do with the iconic Italian sunglasses.

[@Persolaise]

@@themotiondoctor Ha! No. Although maybe I should start wearing them in some episodes...

[@themotiondoctor]

Persolaise: (syn- “bienaise“) the attitude ascribed to those who wear stylish Italian sunglasses, drive sporty convertibles on twisty oceanfront roads, and stop frequently to smell the roses and other olfactory wonderments.

[@Persolaise]

😂 I do actually drive a convertible!

[@maudline]

A lit major should write a dissertation on perfume blurbs 😂

[@Persolaise]

True 😆

[@MrAmirr76]

Penhaligon's... When a brand attempts to dance to the tune of Middle Eastern money... 🤔 A little essay can be written on this 😂

[@Persolaise]

I’d love to read it! Thanks for watching 😊

[@Venera.Ahmetbekovna]

💞💓💓💓💗

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for watching.

[@angelajuneholmes4933]

Do you think that the guys who write these ridiculous press releases’ actually are having a laugh and trying to spout as much purple prose claptrap as possible to amuse themselves . They can’t be serious surely 😂.

[@Persolaise]

I have absolutely no idea 😂
