[@scentitled]

I absolutely love the head bottles. I get such a thrilled just looking them on my perfume stand. also the fragrances do not disappoint

[@Persolaise]

Good to know. Thanks for watching.

[@pattorelli3451]

I only own three bottles from this line and was surprised and delighted to see them all lined up in front of your vase of flowers. Since they are now all discontinued, I will treasure them all the more.

[@Persolaise]

Those are three real beauties. Thank you so much for watching.

[@jedharris6497]

Since you brought it up, I would love to see separate episodes on your five favorite perfumers!

[@Persolaise]

Wonderful idea. I’ll have to give it some thought.

[@sweetmarie287]

They've discontinued Orange Blossom. :'( I finally got to sample it at H Beauty in Edinburgh last month and it's beautiful. You described the scent so perfectly here. I might have to go buy it now.

[@Persolaise]

Oh no, that’s so sad.

[@thefragrancewriter]

Also thanks for clarifying putting the fragrance on the thinner end. I caught on a while ago that you were actually supposed to do it that way, but wasn't sure why. The dipping makes sense!!

[@Persolaise]

No problem 😊

[@janelevey3435]

This is such a beautiful channel. I love Lily of the Valley, and the Orange Blossom.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much indeed 🙏

[@Enamm82]

£29 for Orange Blossom 100ml at Penhaligon's website, didn't even think about it just bought it as it's £80 off. I hope as a man I can get to enjoy it just a little bit. Great video thanks Mate.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much - that really is a bargain. I hope it doesn’t mean that it’s being discontinued.

[@shafaqwaqas5308]

I also bought it 2 days ago...along with ellenisia and the favourite...all great bargains..I hope I wont regret as its total blind buy..waiting for it to arrive

[@Persolaise]

Ooooh... this is getting tense 😬

[@floralbeautyful]

oh wow, was it an annual sale?

[@monicamonica8664]

Your so pleasant to watch and listen to. Thank you for the review.

[@Persolaise]

That’s very kind, thank you.

[@tcuda9469]

I love the portrait series bottles AND your shirt!! New subscriber, glad I found your channel!

[@Persolaise]

Wonderful - thank you so much.

[@angiecox8781]

Bagged Vaara and Orange Blossom at a very good price ! Thanks for the reminder the sale is on .

[@Persolaise]

😂 The services Persolaise provides... Thanks for watching.

[@danbowman1346]

I revisited Orangeblossom after watching your review, and it's pretty fab. I love Seville au l'Aube, but you definitely will get some looks when you wear it.

[@Persolaise]

Only good looks, I hope. Thanks for watching.

[@dcjimr1]

Thank you, Mr. P! I know nothing about Penhaligon’s and I’m happy to know what your favorites are.

[@Persolaise]

Not at all. Thank YOU for watching.

[@peggyhui901]

Argh..missed this. Playing catchup on the viewing. Unbelievable to be at episode (what!?) 99 already!! Love the shirt!

[@Persolaise]

Thank you 😊 And I know! NINETY-NINE 😱

[@ivankaallen4004]

Your shirt is really nice, the colors lovely

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much 😃

[@n1968m]

I have Blenheim Bouquet, Sartorial, Quercus and Opus 1870. They are all excellent quality but Blenheim Bouquet and Sartorial are exceptional. Penhaligon’s have their Secret Sale on at the moment and I’ve took the risk and blind bought Vaara.

[@Persolaise]

Oh, I do hope you like it. Thanks very much for watching.

[@oldenglishsheepdogfun5960]

Did you like it

[@jahan1015]

your descriptions of fragrances are heard like songs in my ear. please keep showing your passions . I like your taste and information about shirt , perfume. why did not I discover your channel earlier , now I am falling.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for that lovely comment. I hope you enjoy the other videos.

[@TheLeonhk]

i feel like Lothair is underrated not spoken about enough. Really enjoy the gentle spiciness of the black tea.

[@Persolaise]

I’ll have to revisit it.

[@lucianac4388]

I got a Roaring Radcliffe sample and I'm wearing it now at home. I think it is really a masculine scent, but I'm loving it on me. I might get a bottle

[@Persolaise]

That's the one that's been discontinued, right? I think it was my favourite of the Portraits.

[@lucianac4388]

I believe so, but one can still find a couple of bottles second hand

[@GEORGIA385]

I love the bottles with the animal heads roaring radcliffe is on my to buy list along with the bewitching yasmine When I think of Ostara I think of Easter Amaranthine conjures up images of the flower amaranth which is a native to south America I think we've had it growing in the garden since 1978

[@Persolaise]

Ah, I’m pleased we’ve had one thumbs up for the bottles. I was sure *someone* must like them. Thanks for watching.

[@danasupernova]

I’ve started my foray into Penhaligon’s this year and I’ve come to really like Elisabethan Rose 😊 I’ve tried other ones (As Sawira, Artemisia, Douro, Luna, Bluebell, Iris Prima, Ellenisia) and wish I liked more from their catalogue but for the most part of what I tried, it just did not appeal to me. It does not stop my curiousity though and as of writing, I am waiting for another sample order. Fingers crossed! 🙈

[@Persolaise]

I hope you enjoy the samples 😊 Thanks for watching.

[@FrazzledVirgo]

What was your issue with them im curious? I always like to know why or what it was you didn’t like about their profile ?

[@danasupernova]

@@FrazzledVirgo nothing wrong with them, just not my cup of tea! Longevity isn't the best with most of them either! For the most part, besides Elisabethan Rose, I haven't found any that I like enough for me to pull the trigger and buy a full bottle.

[@SPACEDOUT19]

I tried Halfeti Leather today, first ever scent that i have tried from this brand, i really dig it! one of the rare ones that have "'oud" in the notes, that i enjoy a lot

[@Persolaise]

It's been a massive success for the brand. Thanks for watching.

[@fleurdixoncoote]

I’m busily catching up with your wonderful posts…. Have you, or would you, do a post of Floris….? X

[@Persolaise]

I’ll certainly consider it, thank you.

[@rmapcynan1039]

Roaring Radcliffe is my only Penhalion's fragrance. I initially loved it, but I find the ginger note excessively dominates. The weight of the bottle cap is impressive, but the label on my bottle seems cheap and is badly applied, something I wouldn't expect from a fragrance of this price.

[@Persolaise]

Oooh, that’s a shame. Maybe you ought to mention it to the brand. Many thanks for watching.

[@angelajuneholmes4933]

Finally up to date with Love at first scent . Look forward to 100 tomorrow even if I can’t join in live . It’s been a joy catching up . Thank you 🙏

[@Persolaise]

If there were medals for catching up, you’d be getting one straight away 😊 Thank you so much for watching the videos. I really appreciate it.

[@angelajuneholmes4933]

Persolaise Perfumes it was a labour of perfume love ❤️

[@msxray1]

I have vaara and love it. The story of how it was created/ made is interesting

[@Persolaise]

Absolutely 😊 Thanks for watching.

[@siancerespierre724]

I only discovered Penhaligon’s a year ago and I have three of their scents Paithani, Empressa and Ellensia. Would love to get Vaara, Halfeti and Equinox Bloom.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for watching. I hope you manage to get Vaara.

[@L-Ondee]

Thank you for your beautiful reviews. I agree with you on Penhaligon's Lily of the valley. It is lovely. Now I wish I had known the pre formulated version.... I first tried it two years ago when I was searching for a lily of the valley scent and went for........Diorissimo edp. Many greetings

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for taking to write, Heinke. Diorissimo is beautiful!

[@cedriceccentric]

My first Penhaligon was the “original” Orange Blossom bought somewhere around 1990 at Harrods (when it still a chic old ladies store). Back then it was sort of a green chypre. I think Puig did a good job reformulating Blenheim Bouquet to its former glory. Also the classic bottles are now made of thicker glass and the stoppers are not flimsy anymore. Now, one thing that I don’t understand is how they keep promoting Bluebell on Instagram yet there never seam to be a bottle available in the webshop. And oh! That website with its Victorian newspaper/barbershop/tattoo shop iconography has had its time.

[@Persolaise]

Hmmm, that’s strange about Bluebell. I thought I saw it in the current sale. But I could be wrong. Many thanks for watching.

[@AckGirl]

Just found you, new sub 🙂 I love Penhaligons - My favorites are Artemisia and Iris Prima. Love them 💕 Also, I so agree with you on the Portraits bottles! Not appealing at all.

[@Persolaise]

Welcome to the channel 🙏 Iris Prima has won the admiration of lots of people. Thanks for watching.

[@lordbushmills3089]

Here for a second viewing of this fascinating video as my 3 purchases from the Penhaligons winter sale arrived this morning. Opus 1870, Lothair and Orange Blossom. I agree regarding the Portrait premium range that it goes beyond eccentricity and tips into silliness and the animals appear to have no genuine link with the story or the scent!

[@Persolaise]

Ah, I bought some Orange Blossom in their sale too! Yes, I think the Portrait range isn't really aimed at the likes of us.

[@lordbushmills3089]

@@Persolaise The Orange Blossom is beautiful and I love the Lothair too - very resinous once dried down. I’ll have to test the Opus for a bit longer, but I do like it.

[@energeticwave5437]

I can’t wait for the interview

[@Persolaise]

Neither can I 😊

[@lordbushmills3089]

Amazing channel! I’ve been in this hobby for many years and never heard of you. I’m now subscribed!

[@Persolaise]

Well, I hope you enjoy the videos and the blog. Thanks for watching 😊

[@lordbushmills3089]

@@Persolaise I said in my comment that I’d never heard of you. Turns out I actually have your beautiful little book, “Le Snob”! I bought it around 2013/14. It was the Persolaise name that confused me and I’d never noticed any of your videos on KZbin (do you prefer to be addressed as Persolaise or Dariush? KZbin algorithms are a law unto themselves and seem to unfairly promote channels purely on their willingness to try and game those algorithms. Great to match the book up with the author and am really enjoying the videos thank you very much. Will get to the blog as soon as time allows.

[@Persolaise]

@@lordbushmills3089 Ah, that's wonderful. Thanks for buying it. Persolaise/Dariush -- it's up to you. I hope you enjoy the blog.

[@lordbushmills3089]

@@Persolaise Thank you very much. It was a really good idea to put the elastic on it - makes it a great reference to travel with. I’ve even taken it on holiday abroad, much to the amusement of my daughters who just don’t get my obsession with perfumes!

[@crawdini5244]

Bought a Zizonia 100ml , 3.4 oz" yesterday for 25 $ at a local pharmacy. No box but unused.

[@Persolaise]

Good price!

[@rmapcynan1039]

I recently tried Blazing Mister Sam. I quite liked it, a bit of a 'crowd pleaser'. It would have to be heavily discounted before I bought a bottle though.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@leahmead5947]

I’m looking for a bridal fragrance for my wedding but...I won’t even smell samples of the portraits as the bottles just put me off! I know it shouldn’t matter but I really love the older apothecary style bottles so I’ve ordered samples from most of those and hoping to find a beautiful, lasting floral x I like older scents like Estée Lauder private collection and beautiful, Lou Lou and Gucci bloom ambrosia di fiori etc so maaaaybe bluebell? 🤷🏻‍♀️😅

[@Persolaise]

Bluebell could work very well. Good luck with the hunt, and thank you for watching.

[@biancamiani3229]

Love Roaring Radcliff. Great ginger rum scent, unisex imo. I love the heavy bottle but the lable peeled off straight away.

[@Persolaise]

Oh no, that's terrible. I'm glad you like the scent, though.

[@EOTA564]

The performance of Sartorial surprised me as I have always found the longevity of Penhaligon’s fragrances somewhat lacklustre. For me, Sartorial projects well through a whole work day.

[@Persolaise]

Good to know, thank you.

[@byaku92]

Thanks for putting this out. One of the more descriptive and informative reviews I've seen thus far. What is your thoughts on Penhaligon's Endymion Concentre? Would love to see your review on it if possible

[@Persolaise]

Thank you so much for watching and writing. I’m afraid I’m not a fan of the Endymion scents.

[@thefragrancewriter]

Wow nice job getting that interview. I remember you telling them in the other video we'd like an interview lol. I'd like to know if they are planning a new vision or focus for the company or planning to continue it as it. I am writing in the beginning of the video so not sure if you are mentioning Lord George or not. But Jeremy Fragrance told me in an interview that it would be a great fragrance for poets.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for watching, and for the question for Amouage.

[@lucianac4388]

Mr. P, do you think Tralala is worth trying/buying? (Ohhhhhh I already found your review on your blog!!!!!!! So now maybe could you tell if your opinion on Tralala has changed or is it the same?) Also, Ostara means the pagan festivities for spring - or a spring goddess I guess as one of the viewers has said

[@Persolaise]

I haven’t tried it for years, but if memory serves, I wasn’t a massive fan. Thanks for watching.

[@TheSpeedking79]

You know whats bothering me for years? And i never dared to ask? Why on gods earth to you use the thinner end of the "idontknowtheword" Now i browse old videos from you i finally got my answer. I can sleep peacefully today..🤣I already said it many many times but i always enjoy your passion for fragrances. Thanks for that. again.

[@Persolaise]

😂 You should have asked 😉 But I’m glad you found the answer.

[@gammergq9741]

1) Opus 1870, 2) Bayolea, 3) Castile, 4) Endmiyon and 5) Satorial.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for sharing 😊

[@efrain908]

What was the name of the best orange blossom that mentioned in French? I love a good orange blossom fragrance. Do have any videos of soapy or fresh fragrances?

[@Persolaise]

Oh dear, I can’t remember now. I wonder if it might have been Seville A L’Aube.

[@resa6496]

I love Luna (Penhaligon's) ❤

[@Persolaise]

Wonderful. Thanks very much for watching.

[@lucianac4388]

This is among Mr. P's best shirts!!!!

[@Persolaise]

Thank you.

[@energeticwave5437]

Perfectly agree on the Penhaligon bottles. They always seemed silly to me

[@Persolaise]

An odd design choice. Thanks for watching.

[@regismonkton]

Hi Mr. Alavi. What would you say are the differences/similarities between Penhaligon's "Castile" and Milano Fragranze's "Naviglio"? Which one do you prefer between the two? Which one has the better performance?

[@Persolaise]

I’d have to compare them side by side; I don’t remember them that well. Thanks for watching.

[@regismonkton]

@@Persolaise Thanks for the reply.

[@Persolaise]

What do you make of Blenheim?

[@danishaudiocompany1012]

Really pleased with the scent, not particularly long lasting......Mrs W loves it. Cairo I think will be order today.

Castile is my favourite one ☝️

[@arriatta_d681]

I’m curious have you tried Comme des garçon’s Lily. Is that a close interpretation of lily of the valley in you opinion?

[@Persolaise]

I haven't smelt that one for years and years. Many thanks for watching.

[@Anony_mous5001]

Maybe influenced by Zoologists collection of perfumes. I agree about the animal heads on the bottles apart from the one with a cat.

[@Persolaise]

The heads have certainly prompted mixed reactions. Thanks very much for watching.

[@HSpann]

Oops forgot to introduce myself. I am in the united states. Very interested in your opinion of Halfeti.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much for watching.

[@lucianac4388]

I like the portraits bottles very much except for the ugly Bull and uglier dog. The dragon one (Arthur) is the prettiest one with the flashy red liquid hahaha. I do love looking at tacky things. I even got a Scandal miniature beacause of those cute little legs. I Wonder who came up first with this idea of figurative perfume bottles I actually don't think the Penhaligon's Portraits bottles are tacky... they remind me of chess pieces. But the bull and dog figurines are undeniably very very ugly.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for writing. I think the dragon is my favourite too.

[@nataliakasiura6894]

Ostara just cracked me up haha

[@Persolaise]

😉

[@FrazzledVirgo]

No no no I despise the new tops they’re hideous!! When I hear Penhaligons…I think of the bow!! I hope this isn’t something they will keep doing ? Or is it just a small selection that get the hideous topper!? Penhaligons ….sigh…there are a few lutens I desire then Malle then Penhaligons! But I think it’s due to design of the bottle and Princess 👸 Di Englishman tend to dress dandy ? I mean that in THE best way where as American men could learn a few things 😅
