@@BowlerTheHatGuy Bro, no one who is remotely properly interested in fragrances watches Jeremy Fragrance. He has a very cursory understanding of perfumery.
I instantly imagined the two most important women in my life - my mother and my wife. Their personalities and perfumes they prefer to wear match 100% with the statements mr. Dove put in this video. It’s brilliant
Amazing Mr. Dove You are not only a perfumer, but also a poet as well. Even Wordsworth wouldn't have been in a position to provide such a beautiful categorization of perfume lovers and personalities. No wonder that you are such a great and creative perfumer. Mr. Dove you are undoubtedly a gift to quality perfume lovers.
Roja is so knowledgeable and eloquent that I could listen to him talk about perfume all day. That being said, on this instance I'm afraid I won't be following his advice. I'm an EXTREMELY SHY person and there is nothing glamorous, opulent or extravagant about the way I present myself. BUT I adore orientals with a passion. I never wear florals or Chypres: I don't like to smell like flowers and Chypres are way too dry for me. I need vanilla, spices, resins, woods, tobacco, gourmand notes,... Orientals are so rich, comforting and evocative. Please, Roja! Allow us, shy people, this one instance of opulence and excess!
I would say, although you are an extremely shy person to the outside world, you know what you want and you are happy to stake your place in getting it. I think you have elements of what he talked about inside of you.. perfume is a beautiful way to reflect ourselves to ourselves, and represent our self to others, regardless of what we are wearing. I think Mr Dove would be happy for us to apply our own poetic license to what he is saying, but equally if you disagree with what he is expressing here I am sure he would be fine with that too xx
Wear what you want! That is the best way to reflect your taste and complexity while taking care of your own well-being. If some one think that you should do anything else, because you don't fit into their imagery of you or the three types of humankind, well then they are the ones who " ... needs to reflect".
I wore sweetie oud uae kingdom of Saudi Arabia Kuwait and sultanate of Oman to work and the women at work went crazy so many compliments it was mind blowing
And what about a gothic geek who loves oud and incense? I appreciate darkness and opulence in perfumes. No vanilla, no sweetness, no fruits and absolutely no bright notes.
You sound exactly like someone who works on my team who loves Sultanate of Oman. There's no sweetness, it's all Frankincense and Aoud on a totally dry, woody, smoky base. The Raspberry and Citrus in the blend are just a touching of it, just to stop it from being too dry that it's overwhelming. Rx rojaparfums.com/collections/aouds-1/products/oman
I don't think you got your answer. Unless "someone who works in Roja Doves team" is a personality type ... You just got a recommendation of a perfume that contains what you wrote you liked. So unless you are a seducer or Don Juan you shouldn't wear the recommended perfume according to Roja Dove's own systematisation ... I guess if you don't fit in to one of the three personality types you shouldn't wear perfume at all?
The chameleon, depending on the day or event, I wear anything, but lean tords oriental. I love seductive, sexy, alluring scents that leave a lasting impression. I wear my perfume with assertiveness and confidence that garners attention no matter how I dress. Even if you dress down, do it with style!
I love his work. My favorite is Elysium. Wonderful citrus in there and when you put it on, you smell soapy clean fresh out of the shower. Gorgeous stuff. Someday, my budget will allow me to purchase it. For now, I have to settle for imitations. 😢
Oriental woody fragrances certainly my favorite. Since I'm a Leo they must stand right out like no other very commanding and regal and most of all exotic. Christoph Raynaud did a very impressive job with L'ature that won me over straight away, I haven't tried any of yours yet quite curious actually. I've actually been working on a few projects myself. I was creating an oriental fougere but now I'm thinking the coumarin accord might have to be scratched the anethole and linalyl acetate accords work like a charm together but I'm thinking maybe more earthier notes could be a better replacement which means an entirely new fragrance altogether maybe tumeric, carrot seed and nutmeg yeah that accord works. I'm babbling on now break time I think.
Mr Dove, that was an eloquent and insightful treatise on an innovative approach to fragrance composition classification...and so damn practical! I actually was as intrigued by your response to the comment/question below regarding anosmia. While I try not to offend, I wear my scent for me. I want to smell it all day long. Would you please, please, please post a definitive guide to auto-olfaction?
I never put a thought into what fragrance I am wearing, but last year I tried different kinds and now I stick wit orientals. I personally feel like they are playful, and that is a part of my personality.
I have a question that I really can’t fathom, why do my fragrances never seem to last? Or is it simply i cannot smell my own fragrance? If anybody can suggest or explain to me some tips and advice, I spritz for myself and unfortunately don’t have the joy of my own scent! X
The best way is to have other people check for you. Whilst lower-quality perfumes tend not to last as long because the materials used aren't as great, even with really strong fragrances, we can become so used to them that we can become "nose blind" to them. So have someone smell your wrist and see if they can smell the beauty you are seemingly missing out on. Further, perhaps switching up your scent every other day or so, might enable you to be more alert to the differences in smell? Let me know how you get on. Rx
Hey, I know I'm two years late lol, but one tip is to make sure you have moisturized skin where you apply the perfume! So apply vaseline or a moisturizer just before spraying your perfume. Another tip is to spray on your hair, it lasts longer there than on your skin (though do take the fact that there's a lot of alcohol in perfume into consideration, so it might dry your hair out a bit).
I love this video! I have always wondered which family I belong to? I think I am a bit of all three! But out of all them I have always been drawn to Oriental scents ❤
I am a bit confused...by your description I sound like the 2nd type of woman - no compromises etc...but I like perfumes which have a mix of floral (mainly lavender, orange blossom ) and citrusy notes (mainly mandarin or orange)...it's the latter that draw me in to a perfume though. Does that fit with chypre?
Here's one very important thing you missed: Culture! I realized something super acceptable in one country is straight up offensive in a different one. Personality styles differ as well from country to country. For example in UAE even kids wear Oud/Amber whereas in the west a 20 something wearing the same will get weird looks. In Japan anything beyond citrus is unacceptable. Could you do a video on that please?
I like your revealing question and examples, but you are demanding to much nuance of a person that is clearly self-absorbed in fitting people into boxes. E.g. the similarities of the personality type of one wearing orientals and orientalist fantasies.
He is not an actual perfumer, ghost perfumers a making the perfumes under his name, he is more into PR. And this video reveals that. He does not talk about the sensuousness or artistry of the perfume, but types of people. He talks into the insecurity of the consumer and guides them to what they should buy and wear to fit into their right box so they can become more complete.
I guess if you don't fit in to one of the three personality types you shouldn't wear perfume? And if you are capable of being fresh and easygoing while wearing understated tailoring and might be wanting to grab attention and interest from some people you should layer, or maybe confine some of your personality traits the day you a wearing a certain perfume. In that way the perfume will better reflect your image ... An awkwardly constrained personality, that lacks confident and awareness of own taste and wellbeing and therefore lets it self being guided by simplistic typology.
Never a fragrance youtubers explain this kinds of types so well, thank you very much
Jeremy Fragrance or Mr Smelly?
@@BowlerTheHatGuynot at that level of details.

What a lovely, honest and humble Gentleman.
I LOVE how the items on your website have these olfactory groups! Saving this video for reference! 🕶
Oh, thank you! That is why they are there, to hopefully help! Rx
I could listen to him all day.
I think this tip is the advanced level of how to wear fragrance properly. Thank you
No words to thank you enough for this thought line. I love your work!

That's good to hear :)
Can't believe the best perfumer in the world replied to my comment I'm honored and speechless
@@alizakat3286 He's such a down to earth guy. Great attitude for PR!
May I ask which country this was in? Culture matters a lot.
Superb topic and awesome video as always
This is a topic most people seem to not understand. Very important message.
This is why he is one of the top perfumers in the world!
Amber Aoud is probably my favourite, very oriental. Thanks for your videos Mr Dove
I love all styles of perfume but I do match my scent to my clothes and situation of course :)
I absolutely love your perfumes... ♡♡

Encre noire
I was about to recommend a fragrance for you that has sage notes in it but I totally blanked on the name I’m sorry 😂

Oh. My god no wonder I like Diaghilev so much

Does that fit with chypre?
New sub here, loving your video’s, thank you x
Welcome, Karen. Thank you for joining! Rx
I enjoy fougeres, and chypres, but without question Oriental spicys is where it's at.
A female version please.
It's very nice
Floral, Sheep(?,) and Oriental.

Chypre perfumes any day for me 🤩💐🌹🌷🪴
If I had to pick one, yes
Might be a bit reductionist and projecting, don't you think? What if you don't fit into any of these personalities?
