I enjoyed it so much just an awesome video please do more of these with DANA!

[@Mr_Busted]

We Miss Dana !!! Please Bring her back Please. I beg of you

[@GwendyddStclair]

Could you cover the 3 lotus absolutes and difference between lily and lotus because some people think they are same.

[@josephfragale5071]

i like her. She knows her resins. Videos like this are needed. Everyone does reviews but the public that like fragrances such as myself, would like to be educated on the subject of perfumery. More videos should be made on fundamental subjects about perfumery, such as what is an accord, how fragrances are made, what are the true costs to making a bottle of fragrance and making it popular, why some perfumes are much more expensive than others. These topics would be interesting to discuss in the fragrance community.not just the typical review.

[@sasaasas3806]

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiih

[@Cmc995]

I wish Dana had a podcast 😅 she gets off topic from the fragrances but she’s a wealth of knowledge and I could listen to her for hours lol

[@marimedgal]

Please do more videos with Dana. She’s so knowledgeable, funny and dynamic. The two of you have great chemistry together. I feel like I’ve taken a master class about fragrances after watching this video. ❤️

[@anoseknows]

Thank you, much appreciated :)

[@NickMaddox0]

This is actually really interesting, I don’t know how I never watched your channel. This is the kind of fragrance information I want, not just a review.

[@julieake3875]

Dayna is back!!! Yay!!! Bring that knowledge girl.

[@justaddlight]

I'd still consider Dana a sweet person. 😳 She's definitely the bee's knees. My favourite quote - "...mummifies the mofo." lol Gawwwwd i love her so much!

[@alimaalikhan]

I love when Dana goes totally geek! Burning resins in my burner in a great joy in my life. I pick resins in the mountains. 😊

[@anoseknows]

Oh, that is glorious. Foraging is so, so under-appreciated.

Im excited to scope out trees up north this weekend, see if there are balsam fir on our land that I could harvest some sap from. Id like to make a varnish for a woodworking project.

Why, thank you! That's too kind, but I'll take it :)

I learned an awful lot from this video which has given me great food for thought and information on my fragrance trip. I enjoyed it as well. Thanks a lot!

She's incredibly charming; and her charm comes mostly from her knowledge. But she's also good looking. Absolutely lovely and fascinating woman.

I'm addicted to watching you two! The energy and vibe you have is amazing :)

[@mariagry]

love Dana- lot of colours,good vibes and a lot of knowledge! vote for Chypre!

[@Tommelise]

I am Christian Orthodox too:) Great and educative video guys! I have a question to Dana: why do you know so much about all the perfume materials? Did you educative yourself because this is an interesting topic for you or you have some professional background? Sebastian, you don't know what propolis is?:)))my faves are Labdanum (SEXY!) benzoin and tolu balsams

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I love to say Propolis but I now know. But really I didn’t know it as Propolis. 😄

[@anoseknows]

I don't have a pro background in perfumery, but studied Bio/Chemistry for 4 years and I'm a #nerd all over, lol. Like, I read stats and Psychology Today and learn new languages and watch Attenborough for fun :)))

[@jameslastname7097]

Very enjoyable to watch when you also invite Dana on board. She is not only so interesting, but never fails to make me laugh, so funny! She is probably my favorite guest that you have on. 😂😆👍👏

[@TheRealBrook1968]

Raised SyrianOrthodox too. Love these informative videos about the science behind perfumery. Thanks.

[@teakey]

This girl is amazing and this is by far the most educational piece of information on the subject. I bet it all of KZbin land, and maybe in all of the land.

[@pinyae4445]

This is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I think it must be my favourite perfume video EVER. I smiled a lot and this is SO INTERESTING! You two are great, lots of fun and listening you guys speak is a no task at all. Wish my teachers in school would've been more like this 😊🤭 I'd like to see all of the things for voting, I'm sorry! Much love from Finland, thank you both for this 💗

[@cherry17jul90]

Oman is in Asia actually not Africa. i'm from Oman and frankincense here all come from the southern province (Dofar) and it's been used in every home across the country for centuries now for the purpose of perfuming the house and also it's believed to git rid of bad spirits and so on. it's a very lovely note in perfumes and i certainly enjoy it. i should also mention that Amouage is an Omani brand and they use a lot of Luban/frankincense in their perfumes and my absolute favorite on is Beloved Man.

[@anoseknows]

Apologies if that's what was understood. I know exactly where Oman is, and have visited both UAE and Quatar in the area- which is why I called it "that part of the world", as opposed to Somalia/E Africa. However, where I come from (Romania), we learn in geography classes that the Peninsula is a major area in and of itself, and usually don't bundle it with Asia but with the Middle East, which ends at the Eastern Iranian border (neither we do Turkey, which although called Asia Minor, is still not considered Asia). Have the conventions changed? On a different note, I'd LOVE to look into the mystical aspects of incense... now, THAT would be a video to make.

[@cherry17jul90]

@@anoseknows you're absolutely right people just say the middle east and they don't necessarily associate it with Asia when in fact it's in Asia and yeah i would love to watch you talk about incense it's a HUGE part of our culture and it would be very interesting to cover looking forward for that🥰
