UNIQUE SANDALWOOD - SANTAL AUSTRAL by MATIERE PREMIERE

[@veralau7801]

This is a brilliant fragrance when paired with Falcon Leather! I sprayed both of them on my arm one night before I headed to sleep cause I usually test out fragrances that way and the next morning when I woke up, they both smelt amazing and they lasted through the night. Both of them together are beautiful! Great video as per usual, Marcelo! 😄

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

I need to test this layering combo Vera....I don't have Falcon Leather (yet), this is pretty punchy for me but I do like the idea of layering like you mentioned. These are really good fragrance's and find incredible longevity from them....always good to hear from you Vera👊🏽

[@veralau7801]

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Always great to hear from you too Marcelo! Take things easy! But yes, can't wait to see what I can bring over on my flight with me to Melbourne so I can share some fragrances I have with you guys too! I'll have to read up on the regulations and all too!

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

My recommendation is don’t bring any perfume! You want all that precious weight in your suitcase for when you return home😎 Trust me as soon as you walk into (Oligarch) you’re going to want to buy everything! Once you have your dates would love to know would be good to catch up with you at (Oligarch)

[@veralau7801]

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Yes I'll hopefully get to confirm in December with you guys for 2nd or 3rd week of March 2023! I'm getting my travel documents reapplied at the moment which has several months of wait-time for it. But ahhh alright, Marcelo! Really can't wait to explore everything there with you both!

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

That’s gonna be awesome Vera! Looking forward to finally meeting you in person and yes look forward to being in the (Oligarch) store and seeing you lose your mind😂…. You’re going to need at least 2 to 3 days just to take in all the different fragrance houses that they have… oh and $1 million🤑

[@SparkleinSac]

I really enjoyed your review. Fantastic! I think you should do more. I enjoy this fragrance a lot.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Awesome to hear from you, so happy to know that you enjoyed this episode… And yes, this fragrance is incredible! If you love all things, Matiere Premiere, then check out this episode on their divine Radical Rose: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKGyZ2uwp7yVmpo Thanks again for reaching out 💫

[@AD-ky5ci]

Thanks for your review. I liked the opening and mid development of this fragrance but really struggled with the dry down. My go to sandalwood is Santal Majescule by Serge Lutan. About the natural and synthetic argument, I support what Frederic Malle said “creative perfumery started when synthetic molecules were invented and used”. Rose essence as an example is a mixture of many aroma chemicals and developing a fully naturally derived fragrance is like writing a book with pre-made sentences. With synthetic molecules perfumers can really fine tune their creations and go beyond what is possible with only natural ingredients.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Awesome to hear from you @A D and really appreciate your comments and adding to this conversation. It's clear that I'm going to follow this episode up with a conversation on synthetics and the role that they play in perfumery....thank you mate, for sharing👊

[@shivavereen7824]

A great Christmas gift would be a Collection video. I realized that I’m a sucker for those. They are or can be inspirational.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Tell me more! When you say "Collection", do you mean under a particular theme "Best Winter" or more "Best Christmas Gift"....let me know and I'll see what I can do. Great to hear you Shiva💫

[@amunra_]

testing this now. its masterful, truly. simple but complex. heavenly aroma. gives me prada lhomme vibes without being prada lhomme. the performance is remarkable, the way it projects, soft but prominent, great sillage, clean. recommend sampling.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

I love the way that you've defined this @amunra_💫 It's exactly how I feel about this fragrance....masterful creation🧡 Thanks for reaching out, loved reading your comment

this sounds nice, i like sandalwood, iv'e never tried any fragrances from Matiere Premiere before, intriguing, nice review

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Strongly recommend this House to you Adz....the perfumer Aurelian is really incredible. The entire collection is impressive. I would recommend to you Radical Rose; this is the prize in the House

Great choice Max, you're going to love it💛

[@FragranceGame85]

Would love to see more reviews on Matier Premiere. I have Encens Suave and Parisian Musc so far but i have tried them all and i think only French Flower was the one I wouldn’t buy. However it was off a strip so may try again on skin. Great video as always

[@semvansambeek]

Wow, just received the samples from the Matiere Premiere range and this one is gorgeous. I agree that organic natural materials are the best, we also eat as many organic foods as possible at home and would like the same with fragrance. Even the box sent by Matiere Premiere had the name / address handwritten and packed carefully, to me that already is an indication of the love and quality that goes into their products. Almost all the perfumes I have so far are a blend of a lot of different smells, so did not expect that one central ingredient would smell this good.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

How incredible are these perfumes! They are 'hand touched' in their preparation and Aurelian mentions that he creates only to what the yield gives when it comes to his Radical Rose....(just like a vineyard, you only bottle what the vine gives) he doesn't compensate with Roses from anywhere else. This is true attention to detail and love of the craft. I'll be curious to know which are your stand outs Sem....always good to hear from you homie👊🏽

[@hmemcpy5807]

I picked up a Materie Premiere discovery set on my recent trip to Milan (thanks again for the wonderful video!) and currently working my way through it. Santal Austral is next, so far I've been just floored by Encens Suave and Radical Rose. Gorgeous perfumery!

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Glad you enjoyed the 'Milan Boutique' production....how amazing is this city (I can't stop dreaming about it!) And yes, the Matiere Premiere collection is really exceptional (big fan of both of the fragrance's you mentioned). I'll be curious to know your thoughts once you've had a chance to test Santal Austral. Great to hear from you @hmemcpy, thanks for reaching out👊

[@farazahmad6365]

Great video! I loved how you went deep into the composition of the fragrance and the house. If there was one fragrance from this house you would recommend for a man, which one would it be?

[@kahuhipajae4088]

What a great fragrance line, my entire family enjoys many from the collection. Interested to hear your thoughts on Parisian Musc,Take care.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Yep, the whole collection in the Matiere Premiere line up are really exceptional....and yes big fan of Parisian Musc (which was one of the very early ones that I fell in love within the collection....promise that an episode will come out on this) Great to hear from you Jae💫

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Marcelo I'm still waiting for that episode on Parisian Musc, can't wait to hear your full review on it! 😏

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Funny, you should remind me about Parisian Musc… I was actually sharing this fragrance with a friend today😇 He took one smell of the spray that I put on his arm, and instantly went “mmm, this is amazing”😍 So yes, I definitely need to do a review on this phenomenal fragrance… I promise that I will do it in the coming weeks🤩 Thanks for keeping me focused👊🏽

[@biggboi1967]

I need a Sandalwood fragrance in my collection. I’ve tried Le Labo Santal 33 several times and I just can’t like. I need to give this one a try.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

I have a hard time with Santal 33 too. I know that it's a popular fragrance and it does get a lot of love; I just find that it's too exaggerated with that Sandalwood note. There is a brightness with Santal Austral without ever loosing it's core woodiness and subtle creaminess in the fragrance. I'd be interested in your thoughts Juan once you get a chance to test this one out...good to hear from you homie👊🏽

[@hmemcpy5807]

One thing about using natural materials is that they, unfortunately, sometimes cause allergies. I heard Aaron Terence Hughes sometimes talk about it in his review videos, where companies oftentimes have to reformulate to an aroma chemical that "mimics" the natural oil, but is allergen-free...

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Thanks for adding to the conversation @hmemcpy and appreciate the reference from ATH who as a perfumer understands this on a personal level. Going to follow up this episode with a focus on synthetics in perfumery💫

[@porousdumasia3256]

The creme de la creme of Sandalwood is the Mysore one. The others that most perfumes use is Austalian, Indonesian , New Caledonia. They dont have the power and richness that Mysore has.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Yep, I've heard the same thing Porous. It's a note in fragrance that is becoming much harder to obtain though. Any recommendations on a good fragrance that the Mysore Sandalwood is pronounced? Would love to test this out....great to hear from you👊🏽

[@porousdumasia3256]

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Richwood ,Tam Dao there are a few others too Creed Santal however these all claim they are Mysore but hard to know. I have used real Mysore Sandal oil which just something else .

[@WireHedd]

Ok now this is weird. That scene in Blade Runner actually was my inspiration to get Xerjoff Richwood. I know, I know there's no connection but coincidence is amusing.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

I love the connection to blade runner… Clearly that scene created the right impact (imagine a world where a common piece of wood is deemed as precious and highly valued!😥)… So yeah I can understand the feeling of wanting to buy a fragrance that celebrates The beauty of a rich Woody scent (which by the way is one of my favourite in Xerjoff collection) Great to hear from you@WireHedd💫

[@porousdumasia3256]

Falcon Leather is the ⭐ from this house followed by Encens Suave.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

This is the only one that I don't currently own. I've tested, but it's really intense for me😳 But yes, I know there's a lot of love for this fragrance. Whereas Encens Sauve is divine💫 love this fragrance

Why haven't you tried Aaron Terrence Hughes fragrances?

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

I know it's a crime!!!😰 We don't have it available here in Australia. I'm not a blind buyer, so it's test only for me. But yes, I've heard many great things about these fragrance's...in time I know that I'll own some of these too. Great to hear from you Mike👊🏽
