[@ScentedMoments]

Stay tuned for Part II, where I’ll be interviewing Ricardo, the founder of Embassy Niche Perfumery, head of the Xerjoff Lisbon Boutique, and a dear friend. We’ll also dive into some of his favorite fragrances!

[@scentiment_]

Lovely stuff João and Raquel! My favourite place on Earth to buy and talk about fragrances! Embassy is simply the best 😁

[@ScentedMoments]

Thank you so much, my friend! Embassy is indeed a magical place for fragrance lovers. I’m so happy you enjoyed the video! 😊

[@sergioteixeira]

What an awesome surprise. My favorite fragrance reviewer in the best perfumery in the world. Stellar format, flawless interview. Raquel is an absolute gem. All the Embassy team are so knowledgeable, kind, professional and really nice people, that they'll make you into a nichehead before you know it. Congrats to Ricardo for picking such an incredible team. Loved the fragrance choices, but no Profvumvm Roma for João it was kinda sad...just kidding. Hope to see more videos like this. Parabéns Raquel e Johhny - grande video.

[@ScentedMoments]

My brother, thank you for such a thoughtful comment, as always! 😊 The Embassy team truly is incredible, and I’m so happy you loved the video. I’ll see if I can include some Profvmvm Roma next time! 😂

Thank you so much, Suzana! Embassy truly is a special place, and I'm so happy you feel the same way. It's like a second home for fragrance lovers indeed! Muito obrigado pelo apoio 😊

[@davidluke781]

What a nice format with you and Raquel.

[@ScentedMoments]

Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. 😊

[@rickytomatoes]

Very rarely do you see a sales rep who actually is interested in finding the RIGHT fragrance for their customers. Most of them just throw the newest releases in your face hoping you'll buy one. Raquel is an absolute gem! 💎

[@ScentedMoments]

I couldn’t agree more! Raquel’s passion and dedication are part of what make Embassy so special. Thank you for highlighting her efforts-it’s so well deserved! 😊

[@haider.haider9]

O melhor serviço de cliente que já experienciei, seja na indústria da perfumaria ou qualquer outra. Do Ricardo à Raquel, da Mariana à Patrícia, sempre fui atendido com a maior da simpatia, era como se tivesse a falar com amigos sobre perfume. Muito bom video, parabéns a todos!

[@ScentedMoments]

Muito obrigado pelo comentário! Concordo plenamente-o Ricardo, a Raquel, e toda a equipa da Embassy são incríveis e fazem-nos sentir em casa. Fico feliz que tenhas gostado do vídeo! 😊

[@kristofraemdonck]

Dark lord it is then 😊 Already have aqua regia and it is in my top 3 Xerjoff. Great recommendation

[@ScentedMoments]

Great choice with Dark Lord! Aqua Regia is stunning too! Thanks for your support 😊

Love Xerjoff Kemi blue range , watching from South Africa 🇿🇦 Joburg South

[@ScentedMoments]

Thank you for your ongoing support, as always! The Xerjoff Kemi Blue Range is great! Ether is on my wishlist 😁

[@ruifernandes7617]

Ainda bem que abriram no Porto ❤

[@ScentedMoments]

Completamente de acordo! 😊

[@PutsalunChhim]

I really love Golden Dallah 😍😍😍 I'm just biased because it credits Cambodia Oud in the official notes breakdown, and that is where I am from haha. But scent wise, I'm digging it. I get you on the expectation of dark roasted coffee, which can be a bit off a let down, but for me the overall scent is incredibly smooth and feels rich haha

[@ScentedMoments]

I really need to give Golden Dallah a second chance! 😅 It’s wonderful to hear it resonates with you, especially with the Cambodia Oud connection. Such personal ties make fragrances even more meaningful. Thank you for sharing, my friend 🤗

Olá Raquel! Beijinho

[@zvikaso]

You started your journey in 2017 ? I started right after you, in 2018, during a weekend vacation in Milano. The perfume that started it all for me is Theseus by Lorenzo Villoresi. However, after trying two perfumes recommended by a youtube expert I realized my skin, nose and taste are extremely different from most people. So around 6 years later, I only have around 25 full bottles, and gazillion 2ml samples. I'm not going to fall into the rabbit hole of full bottle purchasing addiction. Anyway, in my modest collection I own only 5 Xerjoffs full bottles : Pikovaya Dama, Richwood, Naxos, 1888 and Regio. No other Xerjoff is a full bottle worthy imho. I do have samples of other Xerjoff, and I'm fine with just samples (rarely spray them).

[@ScentedMoments]

Thank you for sharing your journey! Lorenzo Villoresi is such a fantastic brand to start with. I have Patchouli and Sandalo, and would love to have a full bottle of Atman Xaman. It’s inspiring that you’ve stayed true to your preferences and avoided the rabbit hole of excessive full bottles while still enjoying the world of fragrances through samples. Your Xerjoff collection is incredible!

[@grzegorzgalaz8618]

Hi, please aske her to prepare the darkest and mysterious fragrances of all time with you - niche :D she's got the taste :D

[@kristofraemdonck]

I agree

[@grzegorzgalaz8618]

@@kristofraemdonckwe need this :D

[@ScentedMoments]

That’s an exciting idea! Dark and mysterious fragrances picked by Raquel would be a killer list! I’ll see what we can create in that direction. Stay tuned 😊

[@grzegorzgalaz8618]

@@ScentedMomentsThank you! that’d be great :) I also watch your videos mentioning dark & mysterious fragrances… those were wonderful :)

[@Polyfusia]

I could watch Raquel adjust her hair all day

[@Pmilh29]
