Episode 123 of Love At First Scent
This was a KZbin Live broadcast streamed on Saturday 19th September 2020. Unscripted. Unedited. Unrehearsed.

Here's the blotter update:
- Well, well, well. Could this be the best Lutens we've had for years? As the scent develops, the jasmine becomes larger and more prominent, without losing that clovey, peppery, nutmegy facet that I talk about in the video. It continues to remind me of Tauer Le Maroc Pour Elle, in the best possible way, except that this one is probably a touch sweeter and not quite as rough around the edges. Definitely need to revisit it very soon.

I was looking for a realistic Jasmin for a long while and this was THE realistic indolic (night blooming) Jasmin. My spanish husband who loves real Jasmin, loves this!

[@Persolaise]

Ah, good to know. I think it’s gorgeous. Thanks for watching.

[@cedriceccentric]

About the name: In a recent interview with Nez - La Revue Olfactive magazine, Serge Lutens revealed he was born out of adultery. He never knew who his father was. He also explains that, since a while now, when choosing the name for his fragrances he likes to incorporate something about himself. So one might interpret "Fils de Joie" as "Son of Joy". That he, Serge Lutens, is the son born out an act of pure, ecstatic joy. No prostitutes or b*tches what so ever involved in this story. "Uncle" Serge is a literature lover and is very clever with words. Being a bit naughty, he also likes to play with our minds.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much for taking the time to write this. 😊

[@cedriceccentric]

Avec plaisir... euh joie 😊

[@soukainamkhairi4497]

I never recognized jasmin notes in perfume as jasmin until this one, it smelled exactly like the jasmine we had in the small garden of my childhoods house in Morocco, which was called in our dialect mesk lil or night musk because it opened at night and strongly perfumed the open space around it, you really didn’t have to get close to the flower to actually smell it, the moment I sprayed this in the store it was a huge nostalgic and familiar punch to my nose I got it instantly and kept sniffing it until I fell asleep, my first serge lutens really hit home :)

[@Persolaise]

Wow, this is wonderful. Thank you so much for taking the time to write. What a helpful comment 😊

[@soukainamkhairi4497]

@@Persolaise "Le rire des désenchantés est celui que fait éclater sans raison le fils de joie. Enfant, dans l’ombre, il en a appris l’ivresse, les larmes et les illusions. Aujourd’hui, il nous en restitue la lumière dans une senteur splendide de mesk-ellil." This is the description from the serge lutens french website :o Turns out its really mesk ellil (Cestrum nocturnum) and not jasmin (jasminum)

[@Persolaise]

@@soukainamkhairi4497 Thank you so much for this -- I really appreciate it.

[@petervonkant3492]

The musk dry down is to die for, it lingers forever on the skin, totally intoxicating.

[@Persolaise]

Yes, it’s one of the best things we’ve had from the house for years.

[@onseee]

It’s the most beautiful interpretation of night blooming jasmine if you're familiar with this flowers. It’s not a soliflore, an interpretation of night blooming jasmine in a deep mysterious way. It renders a very realistic aroma of this particular flower wrapped in honey. I think it’s a very alluring offering, a scent for a muse who allures the creator into sleepless nights!

[@Persolaise]

Yes, one of the best they’ve given us for a while. Many thanks for watching.

[@onseee]

@@Persolaise I have discovered your channel recently and thoroughly enjoying all the previously streamed videos. It’s really captivating.

[@QGeorges]

To me this is very retro, sultry big indolic dirty jasmine, sweet tobacco-like animalic honey and fluffy warm musk. Really enjoy this one and seems positive for your first impression

[@Persolaise]

Yes - you’re right about the tobacco honey. I think it’s wonderful so far. Many thanks for watching watching.

[@AndreSpecht]

It has a masculine vibe to your nose?

[@angelaboyer6794]

Wow- I love the notes in this and I am dying to try it. I actually find the press release charming and playful. I would have passed it over had I not caught your video, so thank you so much❣️

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for watching. If you do try it, please let me know what you think of it.

[@binkkytube]

OMG that top. I love it. Persolaise; our darling minor Royal. knocking it out of the park. thanks for looking gorgeous while delivering a top notch review. Just ordered a bottle.

[@Persolaise]

Ha! Thank you very much. I hope you like the scent.

[@angelajuneholmes4933]

Even more excited to try this now - jasmine with spicy Clove carnation accords .

[@Persolaise]

It's wonderful on Madame P.

[@angelajuneholmes4933]

Excited for this one . 😀

[@Persolaise]

:-)

[@durcheinander5554]

Sprayed a whole row of Lutens today in Sephora and I'm wowed. I've never connected to a brand this way before. "Fils" was one of my favorites. Wonder when will be the next time I buy something other than Lutens because I want so much from him ♥️His scents have the exact masculine edge that I'm missing in most feminine scents, they're hot and cold at once.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much for this. Isn’t it wonderful when we find a perfume house that feels just right for us? I’m so pleased you like Fils.

[@KewlQT]

Hmmm... I wonder if our Canadian branch carries it as well. Thanks

[@luanapelham1343]

Can’t wait to try this. Sounds really interesting.

[@Persolaise]

I love it so far. Thanks for watching.

[@rizwanrahim2416]

Wonderful presentation my friend....

[@Persolaise]

Very kind, Rizwan.

[@gd1312]

Loving your content and especially your voice, you'd be great for audiobooks ❤

[@Persolaise]

That’s very kind, thank you.

[@GatsbyNouvel]

I’m really excited to try this one now! The peppery spicy rose description really intrigues me. I love those fragrances. Have you by chance gotten to try the new Othoniel Rosa from Diptyque? Thanks for this review!

[@Persolaise]

No - I should check it out. Many thanks for watching.

[@angelinegiselle]

i wasn’t aware the live was happening ! the name raised my eyebrows because fille de joie means prostitute (lady of pleasure) which was also mentioned later in this episode by a couple of your live viewers. i’m guessing it’s possibly inspired by what SL encounters in his daily life (hammams & all)... intriguing notes though, very promising !

[@Persolaise]

Hi Angeline, Yes, as you now know, that subject did come up. So far, I’m very, very impressed with the perfume.

[@FragrantVenerations]

To me the honeyd jasmine in this one almost goes a bit cherry-like, in a very juicy and tart way, despite the sweet honey note.

[@Persolaise]

Yes, I can see what you mean.

[@mygaymingacct]

I asked whether you had tried this last week, and now we get your review. Your timing is impeccable! Fils sounds exciting. Do you get any overt muskiness? Regardless, let's hope that uncle Serge is moving back towards the daring gothic opulence that marked his earlier releases

[@Persolaise]

No, it's not overly musky. It reminds me a lot of Le Maroc Pour Elle, in a very, very good way.

[@KewlQT]

Are you getting any night jasmine coming through. I've been trying to find a perfume like the night blooming jasmine I remember from my years living in Jamaica. I googled it and this was one of the selections that it hit on. I'm intrigued...

[@Persolaise]

Yes, I think there's a suggestion of that here. Many thanks for watching.

[@Emuletipsi96]

Some comments of the livechat seem to be cut out. Not only in this broadcast. Why is that?

[@Persolaise]

Really sorry, but I have no idea. I suppose it could be that the original commenters have removed them, or perhaps they’ve deleted their KZbin accounts.

[@gunmetal2445]

I was sampling this one recently and it is well done! I did detect a bit of the grape flavour powdered drink which evoked Poison to my nose.

[@Persolaise]

Yes, I know what you mean. Thanks for watching.

[@AndreSpecht]

Does it lean feminine?

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much for watching. I think the answer to your question totally depends on the cultural standpoint from which it's being asked. Speaking very generally, by western European tastes, yes, perhaps this tends towards the 'feminine'.

[@theoleskau8822]

Can also a younger men wear this one ?

[@Persolaise]

Absolutely. Thanks for watching.

[@theoleskau8822]

@@Persolaise great 😃
