The Fragrances of Bernard Chant

[@dominicgrogan5909]

I’m 23 but after purchasing a streak of classic frags such as CK Obsession, Paul Sebastian fine cologne, Lapidus and Paco Rabanne pour homme, I can’t get enough of these older formulas. I’m a blind buyer so your reviews play a big part in my purchases. Love your videos and keep up the good work fellas

[@justinhight8880]

It's great to see young people appreciating the classics.

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

Awesome to hear your journey!

[@rogergraves8108]

Great taste lad

Just purchased Cabochard edt 2019 for a song. Very oakmossy, 50's bossbitch with an ashtray on her desk kind of fragrance(to me). Any florals only detectable after a few hours if you breathe warm air into it. Lovely Lalique bottle.

[@imnoel8214]

Thanks for this delightful video. Cabochard and Aromatics Elixir are two of my favorite budget revelations; they bring me joy every time I wear them. Aromatics Elixir has an apple note that I find surprising and intriguing.

[@LEgoiste]

Intriguing for sure, I was wearing AE yesterday and it was a joy, by chance came across a bottle of Cabochard as the price was too good to bypass I blind bought. Tested last night and know this is a future love.

[@georgemcnair3647]

Bernard Chant is my all time favorite perfumer. Good work!

[@georgemcnair3647]

It's really nice to see others appreciate his fragrances like I do.

[@JustinHight-py2sw]

He's my favorite too

[@LEgoiste]

As everyone here has said great video, good to see the spotlight on the creative artists rather than brand. The lineage and creative paths can be traced which is so interesting in itself but also a marker for some of today's releases. As in many cases it's been done before as you show here. Bravo.

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

Thanks!

[@belairscents]

Great tribute🏆 Bernard Chant was the king of chypré Fragrances👑 he also been the main perfumer of estee Lauder for many years! Thanks for your great work🙏 Cheerio🥂 Ps I love Bernard Chant creations💝

[@ameliahall8784]

Dear Gentlemen, I think you are great when it comes to your description and really every moss, wood, flower kind of the perfumes you know it all so well and it is correct because the perfumes you present I know most of them and it is correct word for word ! I love that! Kind regards Amelia Hall from the Netherlands

[@stephanthienel]

The new Cabochard is distributed by Lalique, there still seem to be companies that care thank God. The rumor is that Estée Lauder wants to sell/has sold the distribution rights to the Aramis line. Who knows what the new distributors are going to do with it. According to Parfumo Aromatics Elixir came out in 1971. Interesting to see that Chant created a feminine and then transformed the formula into a masculine multiple times in his career.

[@programeditor1119]

Love Bernard Chant! I'm wearing the reformulation of Azurée today and wore Aromatics Elixir a couple of weeks ago. I also enjoy Beautiful, Cinnabar, and Halston Classic. My husband wears Aramis sometimes. Great episode!

[@rizwanrahim2416]

Brilliant presentation guys....

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

Thanks!

[@hshh2453]

I love all of these perfumes. Wonderful. Amazing. Thank you

[@nickyb7185]

I just picked up a bottle of Halston at the drugstore for like $20. I don’t know if there’s a difference formulation in Europe but it’s produced in the US and there is real oak moss in it. It might still be within the IFRA levels with things like veramoss alongside it. Not sure, but it’s beautiful. I really need more of his stuff and have been planning on getting more. Great video. Thank you for all the great content. 🖤

[@jasonmfalconer]

Oh God. The first one sounds lovely what am I going to do on a Friday night.... Brilliant work chaps fantastic to get such depth of knowledge of fragrance. Well done

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

Thanks!

[@jasonmfalconer]

@@WaftsfromTheLoft I love the Retro Green fragrances like Ma Griffe by Carven, a Green compilation from you would be a treat, start with Chanel 19 just for the pure joy and follow with Vent Vert et al....

[@LEgoiste]

Just bought Cabochard at TK Maxx for a ridiculously low price, it's superb, a really interesting wear.

[@jasonmfalconer]

@@LEgoiste picked up a new bottle as well. Lots available. Very complex it's a pleasure to keep smelling and discovering the depths of.

[@LEgoiste]

@@jasonmfalconer Read my mind .... 👍Do you watch Ramsey channel? If not def worth viewing. Thanks again for the tip, may try edt next.

[@sillysausage2244]

I just bought the modern Cabochard edp - it was practically free - sprayed it in the box and it was utterly vile... A bit later I tried it on my arm, and I really like it!! Big lesson learnt - paper or card can gobble up half of the most interesting ingredients. Most people probably know that, but I see so many reviewers spraying on paper strips.

[@tinamanske2865]

Oh great, shine a light on the perfumers, I love that!

[@LEgoiste]

Hi, in case you haven't already, check out the channel Ramsey. He's been highlighting the works of perfumers as well as by classification and years. Full of info and as always great comments that add to the content. You've probably seen his name come up in Persolaise's live feeds too. All the best.

[@tinamanske2865]

@@LEgoiste Thank you, I will check it out!

[@almightyroachkillaz]

That atomizer on imprevu was really imprevu 12:23

[@Pinerocks]

Great stuff, I grew up with Aramis!!

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

I’m sure you are in good company there!

[@earthlingbrightstar]

He is an unsung legend. Aramis and Aramis 900 original were my favs from the 70 s and 80s Aramis 900 underwent a painful reformation to remove the civet and allows but I believe it is now discontinued??

[@JustinHight-py2sw]

I have smelled vintage and modern Aramis 900 and I don't think there's a massive difference. But with Aramis Devin they took out almost all the animalics it's still good but just different. Those are two of my favorite fragrances

[@dmr9767]

I haven't had the pleasure of smelling any of their fragrances yet. Now I'm with Ernest Daltroff and his Nuit de Noel and Pour Un Homme.

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

I've never tried NdeN but PunH is fougere perfection!

[@alineonbeauty6294]

This is great, more please!

[@olejakob9216]

Im like Dominic, im 24 but i like the more classic gentleman stuff, i got both dunhill for men and aramis and i love them! They are really me!

[@vincentwilliams8685]

I used to love tuscany, do you know whether they still make it, if not can you kindly recommend where I should buy it from? Thanks for video ,great classics!

great review !

Thanks!

[@RachelKNg]

Thank you for the great education! 👏 Love your videos! Cabochard is so lovely! I’m such a fan of “miserable Iris scents” 😂🤣❤️ Would you please kindly consider creating a video on Maurice Roucel’s fragrances? He is my favorite Perfumer and his original formulation 24 Faubourg for Hermes is my forever fragrance. Others I love by M. Roucel: original formulation EdP Insolence for Geurlain, FM Dans Tes Bras & Musc Ravageur, SL Iris Silver Mist, etc. Thank you for your kind consideration!

[@LEgoiste]

Have you checked out Ramsey channel? If you enjoyed this you'll definitely find what you're looking for there. Blind bought Cabochard yesterday and it's a joy, was wearing AE so the link was already there.

[@RachelKNg]

@@LEgoiste Thank you very much! I will look up Ramsey’s videos. I’m so grateful for this wonderful community of people who love fragrance (so kind to us beginners). ❤️

[@gediminaskontrimas7992]

Just in time! SOTD Cabochard by Gres.

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

Enjoy

[@LEgoiste]

Ditto, a surprise find for me yesterday. Was sporting AE, so already on a Chant search.

[@svorcandesign]

Cinnabar is amazing🥰

[@NickKosMusic]

Always wondered/speculated if Amaris 900 was a play on/reference to Jean Patou’s 1000.

[@NickKosMusic]

1000 having been released the year before, in 1972, and also a chypre.

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

Interesting. I’d never made that connection, but it’s an interesting one

[@keithbaker5932]

Aramis is my favorite house (if I have one), so Bernard Chant is arguably my favorite nose. He was head perfumer for International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF), and it's a shame there isn't even a good Wikipedia biography of him.

[@beavisbonce]

I’m doing cabochard and aramis side by side. Not much difference aramis is a bit more closed doors to the sunlight

[@monkeyhousescouse]

The boys are back in town! 💯 % concur that the perfumers and individuals BEHIND the scents are equivalent to musicians, painters 🎨, sculptors & engineers. I think there should be a movement to get these wonderful people who have laboured over their #olfactory art for years - wiki pages! Funnily enough I picked up a 1973 (!) #CABOCHARD Gres a few weeks ago. Small EDT - similar atomiser to the amazing one you tried... it is divine. Bitter, green, dank and powdery too. I love it. Serious faced smell but it provides me with a nice character to enjoy for the day! #fragrances #perfume #fragrance #fragrancechat #organloft #Thorsatomizer

[@LEgoiste]

Even the current iteration of Cabochard is lovely, a total surprise and affordable prices too.

[@brunoborremans1952]

Hi, would you recommend Cabochard in edt or edp version?

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

I’ve only tried the EDP. I’d be interested to hear from anyone who has tried both

[@belairscents]

Yes estee Lauder co will discontinue most of the aramis line sadly! And sorry to say but those scents are not cheap if you buy them at Harrod's or Selfridges or Macy's! They are only cheap at discounters! Thanks🙏 Cheerio🥂

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

That is sad news indeed

[@belairscents]

@@WaftsfromTheLoft I also agree! It's a pity🤔 have a good Sunday!

[@TheRealBrook1968]

Do you know AC from SmellsGood? If so, do you know why he has disappeared?

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

Sorry, I know who he is, but don’t know him personally

[@steveb8269]

A comment on Mr Smelly's livestream last week said AC was busy with work currently

[@ryanb9761]

Hoping I won't cause a Waft riot...but Aramis 900 doesn't seem to be available online now. Unless I'm missing something??

[@justaddlight]

We'll be expecting a tennis flanker of Aramis. 😄🎾

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

😂🤣😂🤣

[@herbertm.92]

Aromatic elixir is 1971!

[@dorianphilotheates3769]

3:41 - Some perfumers will make that many in a week (cough! cough!😪Alberto Morillas - cough...).

[@dab5617]

None of these are cheap any longer.
