Top 10 Best Perfumes for Summer 2023 - Scents of Sincerity on Persolaise Love At First Scent ep 378

[@kevinthreat9781]

Can’t forget PDNicolai’s Cap Neroli! A sublime summer scent😊

[@Persolaise]

Yes -- totally agree.

[@myra9385]

En Passant is the most perfect lilac scent I ever smelled in a perfum. My absolute favourite spring fragrance!😍

[@Persolaise]

It is utterly gorgeous.

[@lapiccolapaula]

I smelled dans le bleu qui petille and I immediately visualised the foggy freezing early morning air by a still winter sea, the soft smell of incense coming from a distant forest. It was poetic, beautiful, cold, cloudy blue and calm, meditative and spiritual. It still remains so vividly stuck in my mind. Thank you for another great video 🌱

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much for watching. Yes, it's a surprisingly evocative piece of work.

[@sjiwaji]

In the summer I also wear Dityque's Tam Dao, L'Artisan's Timbuktu, Guerlain's Encens Mythique and Nicolai's Cap Neroli - the latter two being heavier than the former two. If you ever run out of ideas for another top 10 list then I'd love you to do a top 10 Sandalwood list - I think someone else also mentioned in the comments of another video.

[@Persolaise]

Ah yes, I really should do sandalwood soon. Thanks.

[@ipurvi]

Thank you Mr Persolaise. We love the theme and absolutely overjoyed with your description of Nirmohee. You pronounced it perfectly as well. 💚🙏

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for watching, Purvi.

[@BSkid]

Fabulous list as usual. I’d absolutely love a movie themed top 10!

[@Persolaise]

Thank you.

[@phyllisiervello]

I have been on a road trip to the Mid-West with a friend to visit her sisters and am glad to be back home to watch your video. Aside from the couple of perfumes I brought with me for the trip, I have been away from the perfume world for over eight days and am glad to be back. Thanks for this summer scents video.

[@Persolaise]

Ah, I hope it was a good trip. Thanks for writing.

[@Nanalovespapercrafts]

I just did a blind buy of the Harvest Guerlain suggestion due to your recommendation. I am looking forward to its arrival. I love a good honey note. Thank you for the review.

[@Persolaise]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@kevinthreat9781]

A great perfume chat indeed! I’m also wearing Amouage Lineage today but my favorites from the Odyssey collection are Guidance and Search. Regarding Papillon, I still love Salome ❤

[@Persolaise]

Thanks, Kevin. I'm really taken with Search. Must try to get myself a full bottle.

[@kevinthreat9781]

@@Persolaise Search is certainly full bottle worthy! The trail throughout the day is magnificent. I can’t get over the base of Guidance with the Vanilla, Sandalwood and Ambergris- mesmerizing

[@UlaDziurdzikowska]

Just rewatching this one and, not sure if you’ve seen Mr P, but Micheal Edwards’ WikiParfum credits Frank Vöelkl for Lethe. I remember from your interview with Mr Edwards that in his books, he doesn’t write about perfumes that don’t give credits to the perfumers, so i suspect he uses the same approach for WP. Happy Tuesday!

[@Persolaise]

Ah, fascinating. Thank you!

[@marieparsons138]

Wonderful list; En Passant is on my very long "to buy" list. It winter here in New Zealand but I can still remember what I reached for the most over summer: Eau Dynamisante (always and forever), Diptyque Geranium Odorata and Eau des Sens, Hermès Un Jardin Sur La Lagune and Matiere Premiere Neroli Oranger.

[@Persolaise]

Good old Clarins. Thanks for watching.

[@bellboots]

En Passant and Lethe! Just as magical as they are sincere. Maybe that’s why they are always welcome, never tiring?

[@Persolaise]

Yes, you may well be right.

[@carlescharles]

Great selection! My favourite its a cheapie masterpiece: A scent by Issey Miyake

[@Persolaise]

Ah yes! And I think A Drop is underrated too.

[@_-Anna-_]

Ahhh, En Passant.✨ Forever a favorite.

[@Persolaise]

It’s always stunning.

[@a2zin125]

Just got back from a business trip to Dubai (not as big a fan as you are but nothing beats childhood memories, so understandable), and would imagine Gallery Lafayette in Dubai mall probably has every perfume under the blue sky, or taupe sky since we are talking Dubai!!! YES, top ten movies and corresponding scents is a brilliant idea. Thank you!

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for this - yes, GL is probably a good recommendation.

[@phyllisiervello]

Papillon’ s Angelique is one of my very favorite’s from this brand, and you are right that it does not get the love it deserves.

[@Persolaise]

Yes, it’s a highly sophisticated piece of work.

[@susannahwatt5853]

It’s winter with me (NZ) I am looking forward to wearing L’Artisan’s Al Oudh (that fleshy, cuminy goodness really comes to life in the heat - veil like layers❤️); Lutens L’Eau Froide; TF Soleil Blanc; TF Rose D’Amalfi and Amouage Beach Hut Woman (so many I could choose including Ubar and Guidance) …. I hanker for whatever season we are not in. Currently obsessed with Myths Woman right now.

[@Persolaise]

Oooooh… you said Ubar!!! Heaven!

[@Sliceisnice850]

Adding my vote for Les Indemodables Escale en Indonesie. It can almost quench your thirst it’s so refreshing. At the same time, it has a pleasant weirdness, some smudgy sea element (the ambergris?) that keeps you coming back, like there’s a mystery to solve. Thank you for your wonderful work once again.

[@Persolaise]

I really need to try it.

[@AllWordsAreDust]

It's great to hear someone mention Angelique, I think that was my most worn perfume this spring. As the weather has gotten hotter these past few weeks though, I've been reaching for my white florals a lot, with Hiram Green's Moon Bloom being my top pick.

[@Persolaise]

Oh, I remember being impressed with Moon Bloom too. Thanks for watching.

[@AllWordsAreDust]

@@Persolaise I find it really, for lack of a better word "blooms" when it's hot (for the UK at least!) and humid out, like it mixes just right with the air and never feels too heavy or choking for me - although I'm not a heavy sprayer in general.

[@thefragrantdivide]

Oh, my! Are the comments about the Men’s Fragrance section at Sephora pretty universal? Here in Vegas, the men’s section looks like an abandoned old western saloon bar with a handful of bottles and the rest are missing. It’s quite pitiful! 😅 This summer I’ll probably be enjoying Qi from Ormonde Jayne a lot and Pourpre d’Autumne from Maison Violet (my version of your En Passant). Thanks for the list, Mr. P!

[@Persolaise]

The French ones always seem pretty healthy. Thanks for watching.

[@phyllisiervello]

I do find myself wearing several Hermes’ colognes during the summer months as it is very hot and humid where I live.

[@Persolaise]

Their colognes tend to be excellent.

[@filippomearelli9445]

Missed the stream. Enjoying the recorded video. Thanks Mr P.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for watching.

[@ashleylala4293]

I went to Whole Foods this evening and the only fragrance I noticed on the men there was B.O. 🤣 I have and love En Passant but I seldom wear it. The one that hits me in the feels right now is Phlur’s Missing Person. I wear it every evening when I’m relaxing at home.

[@Persolaise]

Oh dear - better avoid Whole Foods, then.

[@ashleylala4293]

I also love Olivia Giacobetti’s work, she’s very talented. I’m curious about Jo Malone’s brand Jo Loves, would love to see you review some of her fragrances. I never see them in the US, unfortunately.

[@Persolaise]

I’m afraid I haven’t been impressed with anything from Jo Loves. Thanks for watching.

[@lisaesposito7317]

Love the favorite movies idea!!

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for watching.

[@heavenj7]

Oh the combo of mint and rose ?? Sounds actually really nice about now…something I would not normally think of!

[@Persolaise]

They can go very well together.

[@fabulousrabbitmom]

most of my perfume are regarded as spring summer perfume as I cannot stand strong perfume with spices perhaps that's very Asian as I can tell many Asian prefer light and fresh scent than sweet ones. in fact, I do like your recommendations and ordered some samples based on your list provided unfortunately, not all of them have samples and some of them are not available to ship to Australia I did order the aussie one you recommended and yes, I never heard of it but I'd like to try. love your taste. BTW, I am a new follower from Australia

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much indeed for subscribing. I hope you enjoy the videos.

[@fabulousrabbitmom]

​@Persolaise I bought the aussie brand you mentioned, and it's awesome. thanks for introducing such a beautiful perfume 😊

[@floddelflidflad]

Great video! Lethe and En Passant I am wearing alot lately! I got the chance to put my nose on some IUNX fragrances early this year, and they are quite lovely! 😊

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much. I haven’t smelt any IUNX for years.

[@marhoc6040]

Helmut Lang Eau de Cologne by Maurice Roucel for the heat, as proposed by Renaud Salmon has been my signature since 2004.

[@Persolaise]

I really must try to seek it out. Thanks for watching.

[@sherrym3284]

I've been wearing Shalimar since 1967. I never tire of it's beautiful fragrance and believe me, the heads turn when I walk by.I pray Gurlain will always make this legendary Parfum...and yes I guess I'm an old lady now but have been wearing it since my teens. Now...if if they'll only bring 'Lagerfeld' back. Sigh.

[@Persolaise]

Keep wearing it! It’s an absolute beauty.

[@sherrym3284]

@@Persolaise Lagerfeld for men was absolutely divine. Why was it discontinued? It should have become a classic forever fragrance. Men are still talking about it to this day. They called it a 'chick magnet';).

[@LiaAndrews]

Just missed the live again! +1 to Les Indemodables colognes.

[@Persolaise]

I really must try them.

[@curioclassicperfumeguide]

Hi !! Your videos are very helpful !

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much.

[@dave21802180]

My summer scent is Chinotto di Liguria… feels like a refreshing frozen lemonade enjoyed poolside.

[@Persolaise]

I love that one as well. Thanks for watching.

[@alicevoseckova1515]

I recently bought Aqua di Parma Fico do Amalfi and I'm enjoying it very much such an awesome smell, tx for another nice video ❤ I also ordered a sample of Bergamotto do Calabria so I'm looking forward to trying that one 😂

[@Persolaise]

I hope you like it. Thanks very much for watching.

[@900miniatureponies]

I'm enjoying these on rotation for early summer, You Or Someone Like You ELDO, Gdańsk by Gallivant, Calme & Volupte by Godet and Aqua Allegoria Forte Mandarine Basilic by Guerlain. xx

[@Persolaise]

I really like that ELDO. Thanks for watching.

[@Roberto-xc5xy]

Thank you so much! Great list!!

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for watching.

[@perfeptions]

Agree the harvest version of Nerolia Vetiver is sooo nice 😮

[@Persolaise]

Glad you like it too.

[@norarazaai]

En Passant is sssso pretty..it’s so comforting..

[@Persolaise]

I agrée. It’s very special.

[@Eirini80]

I will be wearing l eau froide this Summer

[@Persolaise]

Wonderful!

[@jcgillies]

Liking the sound of that Serge Lutens. Gonna sincerely seek that out!

[@Persolaise]

Let me know if you do.

[@heavenj7]

Persolaise…how does the original Lutens L’eau smell?? I can’t find a review on it? It appears to have most of the notes Chanel 5’s Leau has ?? ☺️ 💕

[@Persolaise]

I may have reviewed it on Persolaise.com Thanks for watching.

[@michael_galicia]

I know people like to bash this one, but I quite enjoy H24

[@Persolaise]

Oh, I’m a big fan of it! Thanks for mentioning it.

Thank you 😊

Oprah used to give stuff away on her show, is the commentor's reference. "YOU GET A CAR AND YOU GET A CAR". :)

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much.

[@More13Feen]

Rose de Jamal is on my wish list, but I am hesitating, cuz what I realy love is the drydown on fabric, yet the opening and mid are a bit to woody for me. It keeps me intrigued but I am wondrring if there is something else that is similar to Rose de Jamals drydown?

[@Persolaise]

I can’t think of anything off the top of my head. Thanks for watching.

[@beeb7222]

Lys med is my Malle summer scent

[@Persolaise]

Oooh, that's a wonderful one.

[@fanfreluche]

eau de campagne de Sisley , Rare de La manufacture !! are great in summer

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much.

[@saramagri6081]

Hi Persolaise, I love wisteria and I 'd love to have a perfume with this note for summer but I can' t find anything..... Do you know why there are so few fragrances with wisteria? the essence Is difficult/impossible to extract or there are other reasons?

[@Persolaise]

I seem to remember there was one from Comme Des Garçons, but that’s all I can think of at the moment.

[@mikeczyz]

i can't recommend Les Indem's Escale en Indonesie enough for hot summer days.

[@Persolaise]

Thank you.

[@tammerahooper9813]

Love Lethe 🌺

[@Persolaise]

Me too 😊

[@shopqueen]

The Diptyque body spray can be used as a bug repellent and its safe for children per the rep…

Good to know, thank you.

No i think the Oprah comment girl meant do it like Oprah as in ….”you get a perfume and you get a perfume and you get a perfume “ and everyone looks under their seat and they get something FREE!! Woooo

So sorry, Shann. I'll have to choose a Sri-Lanka-friendly time slot.

[@-HRH]

I often comment as I go, so I'm at the Dans Le Bleu Qui Petille portion of this week's masterpiece video. Can I say something infuriatingly pedantic? Yes? Ok, thank you. This does not translate to "In The Sparkling Blue" (Le Blue Pétillant) as one commenter noted, but to the slightly divergent "In The Blue Which Sparkles". When it comes to Lutens, the choice of words is crucial to the scent story. The former describes a constant, the latter an occasional sparkling - an undulation as of sea waves rather than a fizzing lake of lava. Haha. God I'm such a language Nazi.

[@jcgillies]

No - thank you for explaining!

[@-HRH]

@@jcgillies Haha thank you for not calling me an ahole 🥰

[@jcgillies]

For summer, I’m excited about wearing le Galion Sortilege (have both the original and the reformulation) can’t decide if this counts as a sincere scent..
