i love this ! so many great memories. i seem to be reversing my choices as i age : the scents worn as a teenager included montana, opium, gianfranco ferre, calandre, armani; all these were created before their respective flankers or versions for men so the names were super simple. there was also n°5 and then n°22 in the mix among a couple of others before i turned 20. there were subsequently miss dior (original of course), diorissimo, n°19, cristalle, arpège, shalimar, ambre sultan, max mara le parfum, insolence, l’instant de guerlain, cuir de russie.. among loads others along the way & now i am increasingly wearing more subdued scents such as hiris, violette volynka, la peau nue (celine), jour d’hermès. i definitely wish i could just wear my coco, chergui, eau d’ambre (l’artisan), 1000, mitsouko, aimez moi (caron) or diorella without having to think twice but unfortunately today’s workplace is a shared open space & being strong / distinctive smelling is not encouraged. as a teen i used to despise the anaïs-anaïs, l’air du temps, rive gauche or paris crowd for being insubstantial, too sweet & lacking oomph but now i definitely lean towards less oomphy scents myself ! i love everything i own & wear though, make no mistake; it’s just a pity to have to do self censorship especially when faced with so many beautiful options. well, it is what it is. as for others : my sister’s good friend liked spraying poison before taking a shower as the scent became more diffused & overall lighter. chloe (k largerfeld) was a peach bomb that was the signature of another friend of mine, & giorgio beverly hills was my cousin’s choice for a while - this will always remind me of car rides as my dad used to drive us all to school/ work together & giorgio was her main pick. mine back then was ysl’s champagne. it’s sad that in this age of increasing political correctness we seem to be converging to a one dimensional sameness especially at work. but - i will dig out my vintage diorissimo for tomorrow’s sotd just to lift up the spirits ! thank you for the inspirational video ! ✨

Dior was my favourite house for years. My love for Dior sent me into the niche hole. Basically when Dior started reformulating their fragrances in the early 2000's, the concentration started getting weaker. And of course the era of celebrity fragrances must have been a hit to sales and a cause for weaker reformulation. And how, already used to refined fragrances I started drawing more to niche brands and that's how I wondered away from Dior. Last month at the department store I saw Dior came out with Espirit de Parfums. But I wasn't interested. Having listened to your review I am now keen to sniff the new variation of their private line.

Well, I have Diorella, which you inadvertently said instead of Diorissimo. Interesting overripe fruit accords. I kept reading that Roudnitska considered his Diorella to be his "Eau Sauvage perfected", so I had to get a bottle. By the way, I consider Eau Sauvage EDT to be Dior's greatest. The feminine-targeted bottles I have other than Diorella: YSL Opium EL Cinnabar YSL Rive Gauche (1970) Cabochard by Gres Serge Lutens Rousse Maison Martin Margiela Replica Flower Garden (bought it for a girlfriend's birthday but we broke up and I got stuck with it.)

As a woman subscriber I totally approve of the idea of making this video and I really enjoyed it :) from the fragrances you mentioned I used to wear only Dune, and I remember JC Ellena mentioning First in his book "journal d'un parfumeur" which I read in French, such a legendary fragrance. As for Poison I totally agree with you about making a statement, but I myself would rather wear coco noir for this type of occasions, it's one of my favorite fall fragrances for some special occasions. And I also love wearing Gucci guilty absolute pour femme, in the purple bottle, and also tuscan leather as my other favorite fall fragrance :)
