Strangelove perfume showcase review on Persolaise Love At First Scent episode 414

[@xkoningx]

Would be interesting to sample Shalini too. Similar concept, supposed high quality materials, excellent perfumer and insane prices.

[@Persolaise]

Yes, I’ve got their samples too. Might have to do a video on them. Thanks for watching.

[@gunmetal2445]

@@Persolaise Yes, pls cover Shalini too.

Enjoyed hearing your thoughts about Strangelove! The only one I've tried was 'Silence the Sea', and only on a blotter. It triggered a most vivid memory of the Pacific Coast at sundown-- crashing waves, salt-sprayed rock formations, and shore-washed seaweed. I found it ominous, magestic and... comforting(?!) in equal measure. I was a bit shocked by Fragrantica reviews-- primarily negative-- because, price point aside, I found it to be quite special. Would love to smell the rest of the line, but I fear falling in love with fragrances that are so cost prohibitive. (Sigh)

[@Persolaise]

Silence The Sea is certainly quite unique. Thanks very much for watching.

Great reviews as always Mr P! :D I love this brand myself, I find them all very competently done and unique. Lostinflowers is one of my favourites, I found myself going back to the slightly cheesy, paint thinner/varnish nuances of Gardenia expressed in that perfume. Evident a lavish amount of gardenia enfluerage must have gone into it.

[@Persolaise]

They're all quite intriguing. Thanks very much indeed for watching.

Melt My Heart melted my heart until I saw the price and had a “melt down”.

[@Persolaise]

Ha! I don’t blame you.

[@jonathantipke1655]

Fall Into Stars is my favorite fragrance that utilizes read oud. It’s gorgeous and a masterpiece imo. I was lucky enough to snatch a 15 ml some years ago before there was a steep price increase and I treasure it in my collection. It’s unfortunate they are so expensive or I would have gotten a larger bottle. Even now, a 15 ml is out of my budget in terms of quantity received when buying a bottle.

[@Persolaise]

There's a lesson to be learned here: get in while brands are still quite young.

[@gunmetal2445]

Big fan of Christophe Laudemiel's work here. Although I get a completely different thing on Lost in Flowers so your interpretation is interesting. I will see if I can smell what you get (I've never smelt a real LOTV before though).

[@Persolaise]

I love how differently we can all 'read' the same scent.

[@LesBergamotes]

I haven't tried anything from the line, save the Meltmyheart oil, which I bought for a bit of a steal. It was a blind buy (long story) but I love wearing it. I wouldn't replace it at these prices though.

[@Persolaise]

The prices are pretty unapproachable.

[@kevinthreat9781]

Great review of a very interesting brand. My fav is Dead of Night and Fall into Stars. Silence the Sea was absolutely putrid. What a disgusting scent. Marine accords gone haywire. I scrubbed it off.

[@Persolaise]

Silence The Sea is certainly not very silent. Thanks for watching.

[@sjiwaji]

I remember testing these in Harrods and I liked one of them very much, but I don't remember which one. Anyway, I regrettably asked one of the sales staff the price and quite possibly my real smile turned fake, then froze and I lost the sensation of carrying my wallet in my pocket.

[@Persolaise]

Yes, those prices are quite... numbing.

[@wandcfirst]

I think they're all pretty good, I bought Melt my Heart and Lost in Flowers, but Silence The Sea almost finished me!

[@Persolaise]

They’re fascinating pieces.

[@phyllisiervello]

I tried only two, which I thought were really good, but when I saw the price of these perfumes, I knew they were unaffordable to me.

[@L-Ondee]

What a show!

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for watching.

[@TColoradoF]

Silence the Sea sounds terrible, but in the best way!! 🤣

[@Persolaise]

It's quite fascinating.

[@justaddlight]

Killer kittens. 🤭 MeeOW. 😼

[@Persolaise]

Quite!

[@air9music]

The funniest thing is I tried Secretions Magnifique recently and was talking to a friend, telling her that Silencethesea does a better (and stinkier) job of what SM was trying to do.

[@Persolaise]

Oh wow, that's amazing.
