Finally! Someone talking about Haeckels' fragrances.
"You don't really need to go on holiday if you're wearing that..." Exactly what we all want from a fragrance! Another excellent review of a house I might have never discovered on my own. Just listening to you transports me to the English seaside. Looking for Haeckels here in NYC. Thanks again for all your insight!
Thanks!
I was starting to get bummed without more videos from you two, but it's great to see you back!
Good to hear more about this house, I must get round to trying them out. Have had many holidays in Margate when I was younger, so perhaps these will bring back some memories. Great video as always, thanks guys.
I’ve heard so many wonderful reviews about Haeckels but trust you two the most with a blind sampler purchase. Thank you both for another thoroughly tested, and really descriptive review. Side note: Couldn’t find a stockist in the US carrying the travel size packs but Goodee in Canada still has them if anyone is interested. Can’t wait for mine to arrive.
You guys make wonderful, informative videos with a selection of fantastic scents. How about a one-off special on how to properly apply these olfactory treasures? There are very few videos out there on applying fragrances correctly.
Great video chaps. I have 2 bottles of Pegwel Bay (Thanks to you), but haven't tried any of the others. I'm going to get some samples this week.
Cheers Greg!
Finally a new vid! Good to see you back.
Sorry for the break!
I got to say that because of you I bought Pegwell Bay about a month back. It is absolutely gorgeous and so different to any other ”freshie” if you will that I have ever smelled before.
So glad to hear that! Enjoy!
Wafts from The Loft thanks, I will!
I agree this is an excellent house, and so unique in using regional ingredients. As usual, your reviews are spot on. The most amazing thing is that your reviews are the first of Haeckel's perfume that I have ever seen. This excellent outfit is completely under the radar. I love their landscape videos, too. Some of the postcards look like abstract artwork more than photos of the locations.
I have tried 5 of the fragrances. They really form a collection, this is not a thrown-together bunch of unrelated stuff. (Just as with the house you reviewed previously, namely the World in Scents.) I love it when there is a recognizable identity behind a label.
Now, I must say that in Pegwell the fresh fennel (together with some more green vegetables) disappears pretty quickly from my skin. The perfume then develops into a classic, timeless fresh-spicy-woody gentleman's scent, excellently executed but not so far out of the ordinary. I have been complimented when wearing it. Walpole Bay on the other hand really smells different. I have never much liked aquatics, found them insipid or synthetic, or terribly mixed up with fruity sweetness. But this is so watery-fresh and green. The lavender, too, is almost transparent, not the herbal sort of lavender at all. Longevity is almost as good as Pegwell's. The third one I like is Richborough: wonderful spearmint, mint also being a note I usually do not care for. Here it pervades the smell from beginning to end, embedded in a changing context. For me, it's really important that this scent never really warms up, even the base is bright. (Or you might even say there is no base.) Can you believe I dropped my 7.5 ml bottle while it was still almost completely full? Oh no! All smell natural. I also find them versatile: elegant enough for official occasions, relaxed enough for jeans and sweaters, unobtrusive enough for the office, but still distinctive. None of these three are sweet, which makes them stand out among contemporary perfumes. (That's also why I'm not so excited about Reculver, and especially Dreamland, which are much sweeter and heavier.) I'm now curious about St. John's Cemetery.
[I originally posted a similar response under your Top Ten Summer Fragrances video, but it seems not to be there actually, so I am posting this revised version here.]
Thanks. I completely agree with this, with the small exception that on me the fennel does persist in PB. I agree that WP is one of the most ‘original’ smelling, alongside SJC
great content, thanks for the vid lads!
2Shadow6 thanks!
So glad to see you back, remember quality always beats quantity. I've been interested in Haeckels for a while, but after watching this I just plumped for the 5x set, which seems amazing value. You have led me to some incredible fragrances, Rogue Perfumery being a particular highlight, so thank you so much.
Our pleasure! Enjoy
The Haeckels fragrances were lovely, Pegwell Bay was an instant favourite. I also had Dreamland (2nd favourite for me), Botany Bay (which reminded me of chalk paint used for marking cricket pitches, but in a good way!), Walpole Bay (which had an odd note I can't quite place, probably my least favourite) and Reculver (not normally a big fan of fruity fragrances, but this was really nice and not cloying). I already plan to get another set to cover the missing 3, thanks again for the tip!
You are not allowed to wait so long to post again. I missed you too much. My absolute favorite perfume reviews are right here.
Thank you Dan for introducing me to the house
I got the 5 set samples and wow ... thank you
Enjoy!
Wafts from The Loft Wafts from The Loft i don’t know if it’s just me but when I spray pegwell bay I got a blast of fennel and pepper with a citrus veil, so elegant
Do you feel it the same way ?
What the hell...missed you guys! Love listening to you both and enjoyed the videos of the different places. Wish Haeckels was more widely available.
They are available in quite a few places now haeckels.co.uk/about/#stockists
Thank you!
Welcome back. A great review. Having visited the shop once, I'll be going back. Stay at The Sands Hotel, and get some spa treatments at Haeckels as well.
Thank you both very much.
Just got the whole sample set after getting (and loving) Pegwell Bay on your recommendation. Botany is my next favourite.
Rob Wheeler hello where did you get them please? Cheers
Ethical Apothecary

A full refund will be applied to your card shortly.
Look forward to welcoming you back soon.
Kindest Regards
Thanks for all those reviews
Peace
I like the idea of the set....thanks great video
I bought the 5 X 7.5 ml bottle GPS Parfum Exploration set and replaced 2 for Blean Woods and St. John’ s Cemetery.
I find all of them utterly remarkable, like a VR experience transporting you into a wild corner of the woods or laying in the weeds and wild plants found growing at the edge of a field.
The description on the box, “Wild Fragrance” is accurate.
Completely agree. Glad you’re enjoying the exploration
5x7.5 for $49 . Plus 15 for shipping
They ship worldwide too.
Thanks guys.
Johmathan .B. Swift finally got the sample set for 49€ on endclothing.com
Can’t wait to test them
@@fahdfprime3314 Excellent for you . Going to go look at them myself right now.
Pegwell bay is awesome. Now I'm interested in the Dreamland too!
Typical, i actually about a quarter of a mile from them and never even knew they existed till you guys mentioned them. Many thanks for pointing me their way as i get a discount being a local. Happy fraghead
Great to hear you’ve discovered them now!
I am really intrigued with the St. John's Cemetery fragrance. The video is quite moving as well...
It’s really worth checking out, and I really think the videos are a beautiful accompaniment
You guys are the best!
Thanks!
I've really missed you guys
Sorry for the gap!
Wonderful to see you back !!!.....
What are the frag concentrate level on these ?.... just to ask you if possible can you compile a top Tuberose frags coz only one video in YT so far but with less good stuff I guess.....
Very nice review
Thanks. They are all EDP. Yes, we might do a Tuberose video, there are some great ones.
Now I really wanna try this house, especially Pegwell bay.
They really are worth checking iut
It is really masculine, old fashioned way. not unisex at all.
Hi guys, nice to see you back with a new video. I got a sample of Pegwell Bay today and am liking it. Initially I thought salty and minty, but its dried down nice and fresh, will give it a wear out. Def cant detect any goats arse in it!
Got a sample of Pryn Turkish Leather which is really nice. Can I detect tabacco? Anything similar to that with a stronger tabacco note?
Great vids. Cheers. 👍
Been wearing P Bay today. While its classy it's too feminine for me. At least it doesn't smell like a ferrets bumhole so that's good. 👍
WFTL are back! I love it.
Sorry for the gap, busy summer!
They seem such a quintessentially English product and that appeals so much. Super vid, in itself evocative and painting a picture of the product..still why bother when a bottle of Jezza F is the same price (thank goodness im joking). On a serious note. Does the fennel in Pegwell Bay have a similar presence to Azzaro Pour Hommes Anise. Is it more or less dominant, im guessing much better blended.. cheers Gents.
john oliver it’s really quite a lot better quality. If you think of star anise as a spice and fennel as a herb that will help you.
So you mean to tell me there isn't a single aventus clone in this video?
Well what's the point then?
😂 but seriously, appreciate the spotlight on the house and the line they offer. So helpful to learn about them 🙏
Robert Quinlan Pegwell is better than Aventus, any day of the week.
I love Pegwell Bay, but Reculver is a hidden gem i love it....
I now have a bottle of Reculver, but it's definitely my #3 after Pegwell Bay and Richborough
@@WaftsfromTheLoft I got Pegwell Bay (5*) then ordered a gps sample pack and Richborough is not in that one, so another order imminent lol.... I also find Reculver to need a top up every few hours but its got something hidden that I like ...
Joe is like me. He is always "planning" to buy the fragrances being reviewed :D
So which one of them smells closest to nature? No interest in accords that makes them smell like a typical fragrance. I want a natural experience of the nature and coast. Which one do you recommend?
Thats a very beautiful back drop behind you ! Is it a synagogue?
It's a church, in central London
@@WaftsfromTheLoft loving your videos ,very much! Wearing NANBAN as I type this . Absolutely love that church interior and I'm not religious , the mix of silver and gold leaf on ceiling is opulent! 👍
I like to watch your channel and wish you good luck. Can you please help me to know the difference between the traditional and original fragrance? ...from Saudi Arabia
I Love you!
We love you too
@@WaftsfromTheLoft made my day :)
Love the reviews from these two gay guys! Always interesting fragrances from the more obscure corners but not so sure many of them are safe blind buys ... and unless you’re in London it’s tricky but we will overcome.
Keep it up
