Chanel No. 1 L'Eau Rouge 'fragrance mist' perfume review on Persolaise Love At First Scent ep 246

[@the_resourceful]

Your voice is so smooth and calming. Even if I could care less about the fragrance in question just listening in is most pleasant. 🎬

[@Persolaise]

Ha! Thanks very much :-D

[@tammygratteau6136]

I adore everything about this “fragrance mist”…I wear Chanel makeup and the scent is almost identical to many of their makeup products. I have the foundation and a couple of the lip/cheek balms in this line as well and they are beautiful on the skin. Very pretty and simple but in a satisfying way. Red bottles get me every time❣️😉

[@Persolaise]

Good to know - I’m sure there will be many customers for this. Thanks for watching.

[@Nubianette]

I enjoy body sprays. I’ve gone through many bottles of Eau Dynamisante in the past 20 years, and a couple of their Eau des Jardins Treatment Fragrance I enjoy them both. I can see myself using this on a day I’d like to feel more glamorous. If use it before an unscented body lotion, and then I’d apply Beige or Venise. Sometime like to start my day with something very light, that won’t interfere with a later perfume choice. None of my younger friends wear perfume. It’s considered something toxic or something for a time before people could bathe regularly. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

[@Persolaise]

Well, there you go - you’re their ideal customer for this. Thanks for watching.

[@LiaAndrews]

I do enjoy Chanel no.5 body products that I like to layer with Chanel perfumes, but I do lament this trend to perfume being minimized to glorified shampoo and detergent scents. At least there are enough of us to keep the more exciting products going.

[@Persolaise]

Hopefully! Thanks for watching.

[@belairscents]

A very new target by Chanel! Great review👌 cheerio mate🥂

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much indeed for watching.

[@belairscents]

@@Persolaise my pleasure👌

[@seilanemsei]

Eau Dynamisante is unique, has an easily identifiable smell, is very energising, has some sillage and lingers on the skin; Dior's Eau Svelte, was heavenly, Lancôme also had an eau in a green bottle in the early 2000s that was amazing. Neither lasted more than 5 minutes on my skin but they were delicious, and made me feel elated whenever I sprayed they them on myself, (both now discontinued and very missed). This number 1 (despite the unfortunate name it doesn't have a pissy smell 😝), has just a generic and faint cosmetic smell. I don't know the target market. I guess Chanel groupies who don't like nor wear fragrance but want to own a cool red Chanel bottle to display. Another marketing success and money spinner for Chanel I'm sure!

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for this. Yes, the question of the target market is an interesting one.

[@Aventerra01]

Can you make a video about discontinued fragrances? There was one from Fresh long ago that was made for Memoirs of a Geisha and I loved that one so much. I wish they made it again.

[@Persolaise]

The trouble is getting hold of them. But that’s a great idea.

[@240type]

@@Persolaise If you do this, please review Deneuve. It was FABULOUS. I've never found anything like it since. On a slightly different note, could you do a piece about The Osmothèque in Versailles? It would be amazing to see a tour and/or speak to someone who manages it. (I've long wanted to go there, although I gather an in-person tour is something like $400.)

[@panzer5539]

This smells like skin care. Wearing this is like putting on an expensive cream after a shower, without the benefits of a an actual moisturiser. This is not another Eau Dynamisante type scent for my collection. Willie passing my sample along. Your thoughts on the segment of persons who do not want to buy fragrance are interesting. Perhaps that has a lot to do with the fact that many of the mass market scents insult their intelligence with how they market and target the scents (see Miss Dior‘s cavorting in fields and flowers - does Dior really think that’s aspirational for young women?).

[@Persolaise]

That’s a fair point - maybe the big brands still haven’t found the right way to connect with younger consumers.

[@seilanemsei]

I'm with you as far as ad campaigns go. Not only Dior, most are dated, some sexist and tacky, dome plain ridiculous. Anyway young people don't watch TV and couldn't care less 😁

[@relocatetoEUROPE]

HI from. Milan. I watched the live , as a Gardener I'm pretty sure Camelia has no fragrance at all, so there's that.

[@Nubianette]

Camelia is supposed to be a part of the skincare benefits.

[@jasonburke4724]

Camelias very much do have a scent though. Not a strong one but if you put your nose up to it they do. Just not all of them.

[@relocatetoEUROPE]

@@jasonburke4724 if they do at all, its incredibly faint of all the flowers in the world to choose why?

[@Persolaise]

Camellia has a strong link to the Chanel image.

[@jasonburke4724]

@@relocatetoEUROPE like I said, not all have scent. The ones I have where I'm from very much do and not all are that weak either. Some you can smell in the air and very distinctive.

[@aromafromheaven]

Great review

[@Persolaise]

Thank you.

[@mayflowermatriarch5284]

Erin Nicole and Michelle Wang both review a lot of Chanel products, and I think Erin just did a full review of the skincare, should you want to watch someone who's a real Chanel aficionado.

[@Persolaise]

Ah… I might check them out, thank you.

[@12prettythings10]

Afficiinado? Wang only wants to peddle products all day so she can upgrade her house and furniture. The other....nice lady I guess, haven't heard much on that channel beyond makeup products and none have made me want to run out and buy any

[@endymionone223]

Strong recommendation: I would love to see you review perfumes from italian brand Costume National, especially those composed by Dominique Ropion (Soul, Homme Parfum, Supergloss). They stress that they use extracts from LMR, and the perfumes do indeed smell of high quality. Are they even available in the UK? Best regards

[@Persolaise]

They certainly used to be available here, but I haven’t seen them for ages. Thanks for the tip.

[@LawSuth]

Reminds me of some of the Eastern hair mists (some of which contain oud).

[@Persolaise]

Interesting. Thanks for watching.

[@newsjunkieish]

Any suggestion for a subtle, lingering, but compliment getting musk perfume?

[@Persolaise]

Hopefully, you'll find some ideas here and on Persolaise.com. Thanks for watching.

[@alimaalikhan]

Sounds….. “nice,” like you said. My interpretation… Meh 🥴

[@Persolaise]

I guess this was never going to be an attention-grabbing smell.

[@lisaesposito7317]

The anti-aging, “forever young” desperate tone pushed by the brand turned me off. Praying on ageism to sell products. Seems like a low move. Wish they’d value their older customer base.

[@Persolaise]

I guess there was always going to be a wide range of responses to this release.

[@ipurvi]

Curious about face of the campaign comment. Does that actually affect people? I mean - usually they are going with whoever is trending at that time and nothing to do with the fragrance itself- or may be I’m wrong. Would love to hear more thoughts from you and your audience on the subject anyway, if ever discussed. :)

[@Persolaise]

I think many people are MASSIVELY swayed by the ‘face’ of a campaign.

[@terrysmiles8599]

Very Nice Persolaise!

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much 😊

[@elizabethchurch6969]

In America, I can only find one bottle of this available for the low price of $1,668! Paying that much for a body mist is a moral failure! Or sheer madness.

[@Persolaise]

Okay… do *not* pay anywhere near that amount. Why the heck are people charging that much??!

[@ryangustin2195]

Quite interesting! Papa P, Celine is releasing a new fragrance called Rimbaud and I highly suggest our lord and savior tries it out live for us. PS I’m ordering a bottle and can send you the official 2ml sample if you’d like. Big love , Ryan

[@lisaesposito7317]

Any tips on how a mere mortal can try this Celine? I’ve sampled the rest at Celine stores when I’ve been in a city but I don’t live nearby. They’re also a bit stingy with samples even when you do go in person even though I bought a full bottle once.

[@Persolaise]

That’s too kind, Ryan. Let us all know what you make of Rimbaud.

[@Altrockrecords]

I’d love to see Sire P review some from that house 🤩🥳 I believe they have two new ones coming out this year

[@ryangustin2195]

@@lisaesposito7317 Rimbaud will be available next week (I believe) and I'll be ordering from their online store. They send you a nicely packaged box of the 100ml along with a 2ml sample of the fragrance and another random sample of their other god-tier fragrances. I'm not sure where one would procure just the 2ml sample itself because Celine are indeed stingy with their god-juices.

[@ryangustin2195]

@@Persolaise Absolutely will do my liege

[@jrsolo4568]

I totally agree that Chanel is trying to meet the needs of the market particularly in Asia ( like Japan) where proper fragrances are literally are either considered a taboo or a bad business manner. You’d be surprised how fast this mist sold out in Tokyo. Number 1 skincare line and of course Eau Rouge is a very smart and conscious move to the market segment which needed attention long ago.

[@Persolaise]

Fascinating info about Tokyo; thanks for that. Yes, I don’t think that there’s intrinsically wrong with targeting a particular market. Thanks for watching.

[@seilanemsei]

Number 1 where I'm from it refers to bodily functions 🤣🤣

[@Persolaise]

😉

[@ameyer3408]

Perfectly pleasant.... oh dear.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for watching.

[@vmendonc]

This "smells" like a chinese new year focused release... Terrible how brands are losing themselves over the chinise market. Color, scent, composition, strength.. reek chinese focused...

[@Persolaise]

Well, I guess to some extent brands have always tried to respond to consumer demand.

[@vmendonc]

@@Persolaise it is just sad to see them lose themselves over it... heritage, tradition is long gone over marketing
