    Hi Ruth, I recently discovered your channel and love vintage scents. I would love to try Candid, as tuberose and sandalwood are two of my favourite notes. I enjoy vintage Avon, but modern Avon seems to be hit or miss for me. 😀

    Back in the day, oak moss was more of a fixative. I suppose galbanum was the ingredient most use as a green note. Not that oak moss doesn’t smell green.

    I have to get my nose on candid. When I want sandalwood I start with my mysore sandal soap which is really affordable and either Samsara or Sensuous by Estée Lauder. Sensuous you can get pretty affordable on Joma shop.

    I believe that the Samsara in the red bottle still contains real sandalwood that is why vintage bottles are so expensive. The modern reformulation is supposed to be only a shadow of its former self. I wish I could smell the vintage Samsara.

    Perfume is subjective, so you finding it inoffensive doesn’t means everyone does. For instance, I think Delina is the most repugnant perfume, yet most every other perfume lover adores it. What makes this woman a Karen is that she is in a public place, and could have simply walked away. As a perfume lover, I actually do believe that if we are somewhere where we cannot just up and walk away - then others need to dial-in their fragrances. Our jobs is one example - if we work around others, we do not have the right to wear anything that wafts more than a foot around us. That’s like holding other people prisoner. But when we’re in a public place and can literally just leave the area - people need to just understand the world doesn’t revolve around them, and walk away. If this happened to me, just like you (in a public setting), I would have done the same. These people are crazy🤪

    Gosh I love listening to your videos! That review of Lady Stetson is soooo alluring (but I am on a “no buy” for a while). Enjoying what I have! Btw, not sure if you saw my post to one of your older videos, a month ago I purchased a selection of oils + perfumes, based on your recommendations, from Valerie’s Uncommon Scents, and I am blown away!! I can’t stop wearing them… everything from her headache relief oil to Lush-alikes, to her own incredible creations, freshies to gourmand. Will review on my channel soon but wanted to thank you! And I sent her a note as well-lovely person.

    Ruth, you've convinced me to try Arpege. My Mom wore this to go out for a special evening with my Dad, and I remember it well when she'd kiss me goodnight before leaving me with my grandmother. She also wore Ma Griffe, which is now exorbitantly expensive. Thank you for the recommendation for L'Aimant, I bought it last spring and used it up.

      I own Éclat d'Arpege and it is a nice, fresh and delicate floral with some green and citric notes, but the main character are lilacs, so beautifully worked that I don't mind if I have to reaply the perfume. I haven't tried Arpege but I will, your opinion and that pretty bottle are very tempting

    That woman had no right nor reason to treat you like that. Sounds like her parents didn’t raise her properly. I’m 52 and I miss the 70s and 80s so much. They were just as you described and it was a pleasure hearing your memories . I always enjoyed wearing perfume so much . My best friend and I wore Elizabeth Taylor’s Passion when it came out in 1988. We were 16 and wore that strong, mature scent to high school each day. 😂 It would be hard to imagine a young person wearing something like that now.
