Guerlain L'Art & La Matiere Musc Outreblanc perfume review on Persolaise Love At First Scent ep 258

[@lynnleglaire4819]

Looking forward to the follow up. Clair de Musc is wonderful. Thanks for the review!

[@Persolaise]

Thank you for watching.

[@CapMIam]

Serge Lutens is Clair de Musc, which is one of my favorites, linearly elegant. Khiel's is a bit funky heavy and saccharine by comparison.

[@Persolaise]

Yes, agreed. Many thanks for watching.

[@clarezimberlin8729]

I really feel like smelling some Chanel 22 since you mentioned that aldehyde invited "choir of angels".

[@Persolaise]

No. 22 is a must try. Thanks for watching.

[@clarezimberlin8729]

Recent anosmia after having the Omicron Covid has dampened my ability, temporarily, to enjoy some of my collection. Chanel 5 EDP is still thrilling me but I'm sadly nose blind to the range of exciting smells in perfume.

[@Persolaise]

Oh no, so sorry to read this. From what I’ve read, it’s important to keep smelling lots of different things, in order to help everything get back to normal.

[@clarezimberlin8729]

Thanks Mr. P. I be sniffing everything to retrain those impaired senses... Nose physio. 😀

[@suleikahorz8651]

Thank you for your review. I liked your analogy to the symphony of aldehydes and the choir of angels. I totally get that image. I love the angels but not the olfactory translation of it...whether being it aldehydes or muscs. Aldehydes easily give me migraine (so far from heaven ;-)) and an overdose of musks just makes me "nose-blind". I like my musks to be softly and sparely used. Just to be a cozy feeling not propelling me through the stratosphere. ;-) As for Musc Outreblanc, it's mainly a clean scent to me. Nothing interesting. It's a rebottled L'Heure Blanche but after several testing I have the feeling that's less nuanced, even a bit more monolithic than the already very linear L'Heure Blanche. I like my musks to be "dirtier" like Musc Ravageur or Musc Kublai Khan. When I want to wear a light scent, I rather pick a musky Cologne like Cologne du Parfumeur or the great Cologne de Mugler. That's how I like my clean musks. :-) As for the outre blanc name it is in reference to Soulage's Outrenoir and therefore it's opposite. In that regard, it's well done, since it's whiter than white. ;-)

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for watching. Yes, it does seem to be intent on remaining very ‘simple’ and pure. I guess some people enjoy wearing totally ‘sheer’ scents such as this.

[@jaypirate31]

Would love it if you could review Dominque Ropion’s latest work for Regime des Fleurs. Have tried La Bas and enjoyed it. Thanks for your work as always!

[@Persolaise]

Thank you, I’ll see what I can do.

[@FeastOfTheUnseen]

Guerlain originally named this perfume "Jasmin Coupable", it appeared in their early promotional videos but then it was cut and renamed.

[@LightOfJoy1]

The new name seems much more fitting.

[@Persolaise]

If the smell was the same, I’m not surprised they changed the name. Thanks for watching.

[@Ed-ce5mb]

Persolaise, I love Guerlain fragrances. I will try this fragrance the next time I get a chance.

[@Persolaise]

I hope you like it.

[@immitable]

My favorite white musk fragrance is Over the Musk by Mugler, unfortunately not in production anymore. It has this radiant cleanliness that is warm and snuggly like a wool sweather. Does anyone know any similar scent to this one?

[@Persolaise]

I'm sure somebody will be able to suggest one. Thanks for watching.

[@aboutjujulia]

There is a musk one from molton brown!! But can’t tell neither edp or edt version is more close to over the musk. Don’t blind buy anyway, ensure you try it 1st😅

[@anotherfragrancereviewer4932]

Close to Musc des Sables by les indemodables maybe?

[@Persolaise]

I’d have to revisit that one.

[@kathrynimhoff344]

Your experience appears to be in concordance with all the other reviews I have seen. Not one to blind buy if cost and expectation fulfillment are priorities. I keep waiting for someone to come back with an "eureka" moment after repeated testings and finally getting the intent of the parfumeurs.

[@Persolaise]

No, I don’t think this is a ‘eureka’ scent. I’d definitely say it ought to be sampled rather than bought blind. Thanks for watching.

[@rendangboi6864]

Narciso Rodriguez Musc maybe?

[@Persolaise]

No, that one is heavier, I’d say.

[@clarezimberlin8729]

Suleika writes that outre means the opposite of white....I'm thinking 'out of this world' and ref to Spinal Tap film made me laugh. 😀

[@Persolaise]

Yes 😂

[@LesBergamotes]

To me sounds like 1957. Lovely but perhaps not necessary for me.

[@Persolaise]

I seem to recall that 1957 was much ‘thicker’ and more floral. Thanks very much for watching.

[@LesBergamotes]

@@Persolaise Ah interesting. The floral bits were the ones I enjoyed in 1957.
