Persolaise - Love At First Scent 30 - Scene 2 feat. Etat Libre D’Orange Experimentum Crucis

[@Lynn-rm2ez]

Thanks so much for bringing Etat Libre D'Orange back into focus for me Persolaise. I bought the big sample set years ago and it gave me endless fun and fascination. From that I discovered one of my favourite fragrances, the wonderful Eloge du Traitre, and many more. Now I'm really looking forward to delving back in!

[@Persolaise]

Thank YOU for watching, Lynn. And yes, they remain a strong brand, in my view.

Bought a 100 ml and I'm obsessed! Completely in love with it! Thank you for the review!

[@Persolaise]

And thank you for taking the time to write.

[@barrywa39]

Brilliant. Really enjoyed this video. I need to catch up on your videos.

[@Persolaise]

barrywa39 Thanks very much indeed for watching it 😊 And I hope you enjoy the other ones too.

[@rogergraves8108]

I absolutely love this! It’s funny you say aromatics elixir because I do get that and an Aramis 900 vibe but more modern and elegant. This is amazing in my opinion!

[@Persolaise]

Ah, interesting. And yes, it's a striking piece of work.

[@stephenbright4354]

Much clearer tonight!

[@Persolaise]

Phew! Thanks for letting me know :-)

[@hasnhajaig]

Thanks for watching.

Thanks for your thoughts on the new ELdO; wonder how it compares to Rossy de Palma? I've wanted to like this brand more than I do. I got samples of Archives 69 (interesting fruity-floral, maybe a guy can give it a nice twist), Sex Pistols (clean-aldehydic and forgettable), Je Suis Un Homme (conventional citrus-leather, missing a spark or two). Still waiting to try The Afternoon of the Faun and a few others. The only two I have are Rossy de Palma and Rien.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much for watching, Anindya. This is much darker and woodier than Eau De Protection, which I really love, by the way. The latter always creeps up on you, surrounding you with its floral shield before you realise what's happening. Experimentum Crucis is far more bitter towards the end of its development. They're quite different beasts.

I find it interesting that you said, at 11:15, that 'Les Fleurs du Déchet - I Am Trash' (which I have not tried yet) smells like those cringey commercial scents. To me, this is exactly what I get from 'La Fin du Monde'. I don't know if the seller spoiled my sample, but it really reminds me of 'Lady Million', 'Olympéa Intense' by Paco Rabanne, and the like. It starts promising with a carrot whiff, but immediately verges on the cheap path of overtly sweet and boring stuff. From this point of view, the name, as in the first case, makes sense perfectly: it is 'The End of the World'. 😂

[@Persolaise]

Roxana Soare 😂Maybe it is another ELDO joke! Although I have to say that I do quite like the scent. Perhaps we should both revisit it. Thank you so much for watching.

[@roxanaonyoutube]

@@Persolaise Aha! That's ok, because I'm personally done with it. 😝 At least their perfume names keep me intrigued.

[@Persolaise]

Roxana Soare That’s true. Their names do tend to be quite clever.

[@joeribt]

Thanks for this! I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts about Ella K.

[@Persolaise]

Okay, great :-) I'll see what I can do. Thanks for watching!

[@Polpofemo_5]

Love this one. Pity for the price (and it's only available in 100ml)! Ordered a sample...

[@Persolaise]

Yes, it's one of their better ones, for sure.

[@Persolaise]

Nestor Gillespie Ah, I’m a big fan too. Thanks very much for watching.

[@vetiwearerdaimyo1592]

@@Persolaise No problem I just subscribed, now give me a free fragrance :) Just kidding, keep up the good work and I can say that I'm eagerly waiting the next live show I never seen one but that's why i subscribed so I would't miss a new one and I hope to see some interesting fragrances

[@Persolaise]

Nestor Gillespie Wonderful, thank you. I really appreciate it. And the next episode is today at 3 pm UK time 😉

[@vetiwearerdaimyo1592]

@@Persolaise well i missed it, i had to go to my German lessons which by the way is far more difficult to than English but I will watch your video latter and comment if i see some of my favorites

[@Persolaise]

@@vetiwearerdaimyo1592 Don't worry: most people watch the recorded version. Good luck with the German!

[@QGeorges]

The idea of I’m trash is that all the notes used in this scent are extracted from the raw material for the second time if that make sense? So initially the ingredient company got their extracts from these raw material, these raw material became trash. But they re-used these wastes to make a second extraction and got the whatever are left over from those materials (like a second brew of tea). ELDO did this as a concept for environmental saving or something alike. Yeah the scent is just ok but the wit in its name and the idea behind are pretty cool. I found the new one has some similarity to I’m trash actually

[@Persolaise]

Yes, you're right, and I remember reading about that when the scent came out. I suspect that the cheekiness of the brand also enjoyed the idea of turning trash into a 'trashy' fragrance. Thanks very much for watching and for taking the time to write.

[@QGeorges]

@@Persolaise Thank you for all the efforts doing these. Been reading your blog for years and watched all the episodes. Always missed the live broadcast though, will see if I could make it today 😄

[@Persolaise]

QGeorges I appreciate that so much, thank you. And I’m so pleased you were able to tune in to Scene 7 today.

[@lgsoltek]

I Am Trash was an apple shampoo disappointment to me. Too much concept and little execution. Hopefully this one will be better!

[@Persolaise]

Yup, it was pretty trashy! :-D I really would love to know if that was part of the point. Thanks for watching!
