this guy doesnt use his real name and the fact he's very covert about his use of chemicals, i wonlt be surprised if most of the oils are synthetics with minimal naturals. i may be wrong but this is what im getting from studying him
Thanks for this video Peter! Bois de Vetiver is my next blind buy. It’ll be my first Lagerfeld. And now I know what Bois means! I’m deciding between Lapidus Pour Homme, Cartier Declaration (which’ll take a while to save up for), and Bois De Vetiver. I’m hoping the mint isn’t too strong, I’m more interested in the Vetiver, Rose, and the Ambroxan. Any suggestions?
Yes sirs! Review from 5 years ago is likely more honest than not. Noir de Noir Japan Noir Plum Japonais Beau de Jour Ombré Leather| Amber Absolute Very simple and elegant for me. I generally do not follow the 1980s strong OGs.Just my style. But happy to hear about more from the posh private blends.
Oh well. We had 'em and we lost 'em.
None of these are cheap any longer.
The thing is…when someone asks you what you’re wearing, you don’t want to say “Sex Appeal” now, do you?
Great episode. I’d love to hear your reviews of Agua Brava, Bowling Green, and Happy for men by Clinique
To be fair some listed accords, or notes, you can make with direct naturals
Have you guys checked out any of Aaron Terrence Huges food colognes? Sorry if my typing is not correct as I am flying and I’m having to use talk to text. Thank you very much. Hope you guys have a great day.
Just finding your YT page. Im a couple of videos in and would like to know what is the backdrop? Its amazing!
I just found this channel and immediately subscribed. Absolutely wonderful. Please oh please consider doing an hours long video of women’s fragrance. Both vintage and new. I would be very interested to hear your thoughts. 🦋🌸
I love Youth Dew!
You guys are great! One of the best perfume channels out there, hats down. Its like experiencing the frags with you together, something other channels often cannot deliver. So much passion and dedication. Thank you :)
Visrbl
I would pay good money to watch a collab video of you and Cuba Know
You guys always introduce me to new scents that absolutely no one else is talking about. Thank you 🙏
# cruelty free stop torturing animals for making products
🧿🔥🔥
Moss Cologne is such a scam! Has a beautiful heart which doesn't last more than 10mins and its base is so light and boring like a super market cheap feminine cologne! I wouldn't consider buying it even if it was under 100.
are you sure Tobacco Oud has a whisky note?
Glad you’re both back guys - Josh
how about 2024 update?
I don't like Cabochard by Gres, but this seems a good alternative.
Guy de Maupassant
This is my favourite Zara.
Eau des Missions is over £100 a bottle, now - I suppose it's discontinued!
Giorgio is an uneventful shaving foam scent, with a plasticky, nauseating honey note, and a side of migraine. Drakkar Noir is pure shaving foam, but much more pleasant, if you have to wear either...
I usually try to keep it positive, but seriously, all that mooing, aaaing, and eeeing is just straight up nonsense. And what's the deal with one person talking nons stop perfume notes while the other is just starting to sniff a perfume? It's like a real-life acid trip, surreal.
loved hearing you speak until you got to the part about dissing people for wanting an all natural perfume. There has only ever been one perfume, not two, that was not all natural that I have tried that either didn't give me a headache or that I could not stand after half an hour. Imaginary Authors Decisions Decisions and an amber in a big gold bottle ......that I distressingly cannot remember the name of... I love but apart from these I never have I had a perfume with synthetics in it that I can stand in the dry down. I love fragrance and Teone Reinthal has been such an incredible perfumer to follow for the past few years as finals I have the fragrances I have been dreaming of and dont make me sick with a migraine or rush for the soap to scrub it off! I have not tried your perfume and would be very curious but super wary because ...synthetic base most often equals horrendous in my olfactory option. I also find that natural scents evoke a deep cellular memory that synthetics fail to do. They might smell ok but take me on a journey ...no
I miss you!
I really miss Making a Stink, it’s such a shame they vanished !
Ok solid lists this time! I can only imagine creed coming out with GIT in 1985 I was 2 yo but looking back on other fragrances of that time they don’t even compare! Also a huge fan of Gucci
I’m with you o alot of these but grey flannel I can’t do it man! It’s terrible.
Have you tried amouage jubilation 25 woman?? Has chypre vibes some echoes of mitsouko. I personally find it better than the mens version (which I also really like)
I actually got Hyde recently and wear it in the hot weather and I have to say the cloud that surrounds me is surreal… dried fruits drizzled with honey and some coal thrown on top of them… oh goosh I got to have a spray.
I'm an ardent fan of Guerlain since the 60s. I think it's the best House, also. My top 5 are (in ascending order) Vetiver; Chant d'Aromes; Parure; Vol de Nuit, and...Jicky. Extrait (vintage), if possible. Remarklable fragrance alchemy, all!
LOVE La Nuit... Have to disagree with Kouros and Patou because BOTH of those are fougères (heavy lavender) where the Paco has ZERO (thank God)..... I bought an ENTIRE CASE (25 pieces) of those 5ml edps (I won't tell what I paid... Let's just say I got a GREAT DEAL) and I also have a 7.5ml extrait... This is FANTASTIC JUICE...❤
Really enjoyed your take on these. I might have put some in a different order, but that depends on the day and mood. There is one change I would’ve made: remove L’Homme Ideal, and put in Samsara. Anyway, fun video!
I guess you were all to focussed on Habit Rouge. Would love the see a review on this fragrance without it being compared to Habit Rouge. I am not looking for a habit Rouge as I already have 3.
I just bought the modern Cabochard edp - it was practically free - sprayed it in the box and it was utterly vile... A bit later I tried it on my arm, and I really like it!! Big lesson learnt - paper or card can gobble up half of the most interesting ingredients. Most people probably know that, but I see so many reviewers spraying on paper strips.
The auto-generated chapters feature transcribed Gheorge as “Youre Gay” and it really got me 🤣🤣 Thanks UA-cam, happy (almost) Pride Month I guess? 😅 Anyways, I’ve recently gotten into fragrances and have developed a keen interest in Prin’s work through Zoologist’s Sloth and I hope to get my nose on Oliver, Gheorge, and Burning Ben soon. The last 2 particularly, I’ve found I love a hay note
Guys, the video seems to be nice, but the sound is so hard to follow. Too bad :(
I enjoyed that review thank you. I'm currently in the middle of a big Trumper fan phase, sampling virtually the whole range and buying about half of it. This one is nice. Of the others Wild Fern, Milk of Flowers, Eau de Quinine and of course Eucris. Who else makes anything like those? And I find many of the newer ones like Skye, San Remo and GFT nicely updating the classic Trumper style while at the same time staying true to it. At the moment I probably prefer Trumper to Floris and Penhaligons (as well as being way above TOBS, Truefitt and hill and D R Harris). Amazing house. Amazing fragrances!
yuk. Gotta tell ya this one was a disappointment . Smells like I was outside wedding noxious weeds and didn't shower. My opinion of course.
I dislike clones, dupes, or whatever euphemism for knockoffs they're called. Thanks for saying what I'm thinking.
I just love the vibe of this conversation. <3
For me the dry down of oud cologone is like an animalic oud almost reminds me of triad its an sharp pungy smell but at the same time rounded and sweet, i guess the sharpness comes from the pine and roundness from tonka and the oud just complements both
a bit late on welcome back greetings but so happy to see you guys back. can't wait till you guys cover (and in the case of Des Cendres, re-cover) all the A+O nominees and honorable mentions
Just blind bought Sandalwood from Trumpers because you two are always talking about it and WOW!!! That is an incredible fragrance for how much it costs. I paid around $40(£31-32) and it is so complex and mesmerizing.
I ditched all my fragrances for 4711 🤗
seriously considering doing that.
