Indeed. You can't get bored of a scent as complex as Knowing. Thank you for watching. 😀

Thank you! 🧡 It was indeed discontinued. Fingers crossed that you find a bottle for a good price. ✌️

Hi there. Yes, that’s such a shame. I heard so many great things about it. 😕

Absolutely. It’s a classic. 🙂

🧡

Hi there. Yes, I have. Both are beautiful sweet honeyed florals. I prefer Poême. 🙂

@ thanks for your response!☺️ I’ve also heard those two are similar to classique edt which I also love so much

My pleasure. Yes, Classique and Poeme are definitely similar. Classique is more spicy while Poeme is a true yellow floral. 🙂

Thanks you for sharing. Amazing choices! 🙂❄️

I wanted to thank you for watching my older videos. I truly appreciate it. I’ve heard great things about Dana perfumes but they’re very hard to obtain in Europe. I only have Chantilly. I’m sure Love’s Baby Soft is lovely. 🙂

Thank you! 🧡❄️

🙂❄️

Hi Leah! I’m happy to hear that. Thanks for commenting. 🧡

I can’t wait to try Kenzo Jungle. 🧡

Oh yes! 🧡

I noticed the same. Dior counters tend to keep their older, less popular fragrances in a drawer, and you have to ask for them. It’s sad, really.

@@lukeparfumsso sad when I used to work for them I would always bring them out and every time somebody would always buy them because they are beautiful x x

Exspicaly dolce vita x

I want to try this but my store keeps most of the older scents in a drawer 😢​@@lukeparfums

Indeed. I’ll wear it tomorrow. I’m wearing Addict today. 🙂🧡

Hi! I highly recommend it if you love vanilla. 🙂❄️

@lukeparfums I surely do 😊

Morning! 🙂❄️

🙂✨

Morning Ana! Addict is a our staple indeed. What scent are you wearing today? ❄️🧡

@lukeparfums I'm not wearing anything now because I'm still cooking but after shower I might use my dupe of Athalia. I'm in a mood for an iris smoky smell 😊 this one is really unique to me. Later my family is coming over and I made again a spicy cake but this time I added an alcoholic liquor of a berry like cherry. It tastes similar to a cherry maraschino. They would love. My house smells so good 😁

Yum! Can I have a slice? 🍰😍

The Ordinary is a fabulous brand. I just bought 5 new products. We all abused our skin as teenagers, didn’t we? I’d put rubbing alcohol on my spots. And I also used an apricot face scrub too, I’m ashamed to say. 🤭

It is known to happen sometimes. 🙂

Yes, I have, but my memory needs refreshing. I do remember liking it though. Indeed! Knowing is perfect for any weather. In summer, the aldehydes keep it fresh, while in winter, it’s warm and patchouli-heavy.

Wow, that’s one hell of a discount! Can I come work at Macy’s? Sadly, I live across the pond. 🙂😂

🙂✨

Hey Claire! I’d love to try some of the Privé line. I’ve tried Gris Dior, Fève Délicieuse, Vanilla Diorama, and a few others that I can’t remember. Today, I’m wearing Addict. 🙂 It actually breaks my heart that at least three of the creators I used to watch and look up to have turned into infomercial channels. They only include products from the same dozen or so brands they have codes and links for. It’s so blatantly obvious. And I don’t even mind a sponsorship here and there or gifted products. Do you also get a ton of ridiculous collaboration requests? I've been offered everything from jewellery to video games. The only thing I’d consider accepting is perfume samples from a brand I’m curious about - no strings attached.

@lukeparfums yep, some really ridiculous stuff, like website makers, nail polish, fruit flavoured steam generators skin care, bad jewellery 🤣 I have happily accepted some fragrances samples and even a bottle of perfume recently, but I did even turn a fragrance down because I'd tried two others from the brand and hated them, so why would I want the third? 🤷‍♀️ It's difficult, because there is an edge with gifts, it's undeniable, so I do only accept the things that I would love to experience or know I like. I'm not going to wax lyrical about stuff I think isn't good though (see Saltworks, they just weren't suitable as perfumes), but then sometimes a brand says they will send samples, you agree and they send a bottle 🤷‍♀️ I can't say I like that if that wasn't the deal. That sounds weird but hopefully you get what I mean. 🥰

Yay! Let me know how you like it. 😊🧡

Thanks! 🧡 Are you referring to the original Imari or the version sold today? From what I understand, they are two different fragrances. I have a rollerball of Choco Musk, and it’s a super cozy, sweet, powdery cocoa scent. 🙂✨

@@lukeparfums I wore Imari the original in the maroon bottle back in the day. It is somewhat reformulated but still good for the price.

Hi there! Classique gets even better with time, so definitely dig it out and start wearing it. 🙂 That’s because they rebranded their fragrance line; they cost more now, but the formulas are said to be the same. I’ve not tried the other Quatre fragrances, only the Iconic, which is beautiful. 🙂✨

Hi Betty, thank you! 🙂✨ Chanel really knows how to craft an elegant patchouli scent, like Francois Demachy at Dior knew his way around vanilla. We’re both Aquarians then! ♒️ Thanks for watching. 🧡

Hi there! I tried the tester in-store, and I really liked the current formulation. Is it the performance that disappointed you? I forgot to include Casmir; indeed, that’s another very cosy one. Armani Lei is also on my radar. 🧡

@@lukeparfumsI found JPG very flat with little depth. My bottle from 2000 was soapy too, but it had such gorgeous spices and warmth to It. It was my signature for many years, so I notice the difference in formulation. Such a shame old favourites get messed with so much. Same thing happened with Hypnotic Poison. A shadow of its former self. Oh I thought of one more cosy one: Musc Ravegeur! I’d like to try it’s supposed dupe, Meharees too. My mother wore Opium in the 80s and 90s, so I consider that a cosy comfort scent by association. Still need to get my hands on a vintage bottle! ❤

I have a 2003 bottle of Classique and it’s definitely sweeter and warmer than the current formula which is still gorgeous in my opinion. And so is Hypnotic Poison EdT. I disagree that it’s a shadow of its former self but that’s just my experience. I’ll have to get my nose on Musc Ravageur.

@@lukeparfumspleased to hear you enjoy them 😊

Thanks! 🙂

🧡

Hi Julie! I tried both By the Fireplace and Infusion d’Iris and liked them a lot. 😀✨

Hi there. I’m not sure whether it was you or someone else who recommended it to me the other day. Ac a matter of fact, several people did. I’ve tried it since, and I find it intriguing. Licorice is growing on me. It’s certainly a very heady, sexy scent, and I can see why you turned some heads when you wore it. 😀✨

It’s a stunner! 😀✨

Aromatics Elixir is a classic. Definitely heavy on the patchouli. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

Hi Julie. I said what I said. 😂 Oh, I love Manifesto and Lolita Lempicka EdP. What’s the EdT like? 🧡

Yay!🥰

The EdP is gorgeous too, similar to the EdT. I love the bottle. 🙂

@ me too 🥰

Hi Michele! Yes, it is. 🤭🤭 The smaller sizes are prettier, but I had to get the biggest one for the best value for money. It’s so cozy and delicious... I can't be without it. 🙂🧡

I’m sure you’ll be able to get a good deal on it. 😀

Sure, but I’m afraid I haven’t tried the original cologne; I'm only familiar with the vintage Parfum, modern EdP, EdT, and Parfum. In my opinion, the best one is the Parfum. 😀

@@lukeparfums Maybe I will try it and report back.

Agreed. One of the best cozy scents. 🧡

@ you should also give Mon Guerlain intense a try if you haven’t. It’s sooo good

I have. And I’ve used up a bottle of the o.g. 😀

My pleasure! I’ll never stop speaking out about this issue because it's so common in perfume reviews. It's a stereotype that demeans both classic scents and a whole group of people. I reckon most of my collection would be considered “old lady” scents, and I couldn’t care less. Not all of us want to smell like a snack every day. 🤷🏼‍♂️

That is why I love this channel! No one spouting off about "old lady " perfume. I just don't get it. When I was a young perfume enthusiast I knew some scents were more mature or complex for my taste but I would have never been so disrespectful as to say something was for an " old lady". So rude...😢

I completely agree that some scents are more mature than others, but it’s subjective. I think it’s interesting that back in the 80s, Chanel No. 5 was considered classic, perhaps even old-fashioned, while many fragrances released and popular at that time were also aldehydic florals. Many young women wore them then, but now Ysatis, Poison, and White Diamonds are 'old lady' scents, whereas Chanel No. 5 is seen by some as ancient history. Modernity is relative, and anyone who understands perfume history knows that trends come and go. But when a scent has been around for decades, it’s timeless.

@@lukeparfums we didn't grow up with much money but my Dad always made sure my Mom had a beautiful bottle of Chanel #5 on the dresser.

@@lukeparfums Well said!!

Hi Gerhard! I never really thought of Diva as cosy, but I see it now. It gets very powdery in the drydown. I’m not sure whether I’ll pull the trigger on Coromandel or not. Yes, as a matter of fact I visited them today. 🙂😆

@lukeparfums Okay how wonderful Luke, are you Pisces too? 👀 Okay... 😂 If I may? I might pick Wood Mystique also, as a very cosy scent! (Lauder) 👌🏻

No, I’m not! 😂 I’d love to get my hands on Wood Mystique but I can’t find it anywhere.

Thanks for watching. 🧡

Thanks. I lived and studied in the UK. No, I’ve never left Europe in my life. 😀
