1) Seeing you back on YT made my day. 2) Loved this theme and your selections. 3) Felt supremely outclassed watching this while wearing my SOTD, ‘07 Gucci by Gucci. 😄
Hello, hello Mr. Alavi, great to have you back. What a wonderful escape this was from the utter chaos created by hurricane Ida and its aftermath, here in New Orleans. I happened to be here (on business) for the entire thing, and can now say I have lived through the devastation 150 mph winds/rain can leave behind! But watching your video on my phone (there's still no power/wi-fi in many places), helped me cope w/ the ensuing PTSD, I am certain. How about a review of Diptyque's new Le Grand Tour collection, particularly Kyoto at some point?! Great work, as always.
Oh my goodness, how awful! But I'm so pleased that you're safe. Gosh, you never know what's around the corner, do you? Look after yourself, and thanks for watching.
I caught the tail end of the live. Looking forward to your first 7 autumn loves. You look great. The Jewish New Year is celebrated in September and I always thought that was the perfect time of year to regroup and make plans for the year …it is absolutely a good time of year to contemplate and find one’s grounding. Please interview Dominic Ropion.
Thanks for your lovely comment. I would LOVE to get Ropion here. Let's see what we can do. And yes, starting the year in September has always made more sense to me, but then I have worked in education for decades.
Welcome back! You’ve been missed, thank you for a lovely video😊 it’s getting cooler in Tokyo , I’m really looking forward to give up my citrusy/green fragrances and get back to warm/woody/great performers in my collection.
I unfortunately missed this live but plan on attending as many as I can going forward….I’m a new subscriber who has fallen hard and fast for your channel. My first video I watched of yours helped me pull the trigger on my first Andy Tauer perfume, Phtaloblue…which I adore by the way. I’m thoroughly impressed with your knowledge and expertise as well as your subscribers and have enjoyed scouring your blog.
Glad to see you back Dariush! I need to try many of the ones you featured in this video. I fell in love with Sables since Max mentioned it in one of your collaborations I had the opportunity to find a first formulation and I bought it, what a beautiful fragrance just as you describe it, and the maple syrup I get from it mmmm. Thanks for the list, and look forward for the interviews!!!
greetings! to the viewer who commented about Cartier's Oud & Santal: although this series (Les Heures Voyageuses by nose Mathilde Laurent) finds its new/annual releases in only a 75ml bottle, the first five (which includes the aforementioned fragrance) were released in both 75ml and 45ml. I'm confident that the latter remains readily available; and if you're able, Duty Free at London Heathrow has many in the series wildly discounted. this is one of the few series that I own and collect in its entirety. I do apologize for gushing, but I adore almost all things 'oud' - from the gorgeous barnyard stench of many natural ouds to the screechiness of some synthetics. many thanks to you, Persolaise, for continuing to bring light to so much of that which illuminates and beautifies my small corner of the world.
It was a recent discovery of mine and was taken by it at first sniff. Wow didn't know they came in 45 mls too. I have yet to try oud & oud as I hear nothing but great things about it. Thanks for sharing and yes so happy that Persolaise is back with a wonderful autumn list. Thank you!
@@jinomoreto4677 if you're truly looking to enjoy multiple ouds from this Cartier series, but do not wish to invest in full-size bottles; please consider hunting-down either the 3x15ml or 5x15ml sets in lovely miniatures. the latter cost me about $410 directly from a Cartier boutique.
Great list .. i keep missing the live streams but watching it afterwards is just as fulfilling. I bought a few vintage fragrences recently i plan on wearing heavily this fall. I bought a vintage chanel cuir de russie pre barcode EDT.. i dont like the EDP and paid big money to have the discontinued EDT buts its well worth it. Also purchased a matte black cap version of musc ravageur with that musc note that just tickles the nose so much more than the current formulation.. just a little more dank and animalic. I also have a vintage bottle of sables when it was annick goutal and had that gold cap that feels like it cost less than a penny to manufacture and i Love Love Love that fragrence. I consider it a hidden gem and when people talk about it i cringe because i dont want word to get out lol. Although i havent smelled the new formulation so i cant speak on that but if its anything like the vintage it is glorious! Glad to see you back in the saddle. 🍻
One of my favourite sandalwoods and one that I think fits the style you were going for here is L’Atelier’s Santal Rouge, very smooth and creamy sandalwood, perfect for quiet contemplation IMO.
So nice to watch your video after a break! Three of my favourite perfumes - Botanical Essence No. 15, Xandria by Ormonde Jayne and Omnia Crystalline - all have gaiac in the base, so I got all excited when you mentioned Gaiac 10, then looked at the Le Labo website and decided I'd rather keep both of my kidneys. Those I definitely need to try are the Chanel, because it sounds right up my street, and Rouge, which could be interesting, although I think I'd rather eat barszcz than smell like it. If you haven't tried Xandria, do - it has an apple note, perfect for the autumn.
I've been wearing Rouge from CDC for months and oddly enough today as well and although I originally purchased it for my husband. He loves Patchouli but does not enjoy this. It seems to get sweeter as you wear it. 2 Man is an absolute perpetual winner.
Hi Persolaise. Loving this 'back after summer break' Geek affaire. I'm laughing 😂 because I too can't switch off my geek brain 🧠. It's our pleasure, passion, gift... However annoying to family & friends when we do what my sisters call TMI. (Too much info) Your loyal fans love that quality in your presentations. Others can "move along" smartly. I too am intrigued by Santal Basmati... Thanks for underpinning your video with descriptive words, without which I never would have pictured the spelling of Dzonga from the pronunciation... One of my geekisms is to visualise & savour the titles of these fragrances & research the meaning. Thanks for a fascinating return video.
for autumn, I'm wearing Maison Louis Marie No. 4. it is nice pumpkin, earthy, and slight woodsy smell. I've recently subscribed to your channel and throughly enjoy your reviews! I look forward to watching more reviews and getting your thoughts on no. 4. I feel it's young and cozy.
Great choices there. I love Maison Crivelli so please get an interview with the founder. Absinthe Boreale by Nathalie Feisthauer was the very last thing I bought in a shop before the first lockdown. It’s great. In other news my spies in Chanel tell me there’s a new Exclusifs launch being prepared for next spring. It’s called Vichy! You heard it here first…
Welcome back, P. Really wanting to try Chanel’s Paris-Edimbourg. I saw Le Labo has the city exclusives for sale online for the rest of September - if someone has a spare kidney 😅
Do you have a video de explain some basics. Like what is a fougère, chypre, gourmand?? I dont know. Maybe it’s a video idea for people like me that just joined this universe 😅 thank you for the videos
I bought Santal Blanc of...Van Cleef And Arpels. Was looking so hard to find reviews about it but so rare. Smelled it and felt in love with it. Don't know if there is a comparison with Serge Lutens Santal Blanc.🤔😊
I must offer an apology for my recent outburst in favour of Creed. Whilst I think they have some decent releases, I’ve recently become enlightened with a visit to Penhaligon’s where I found some beautiful scents, actual Royal seals and better value for money. Thank you for opening my eyes, Persolaise!
No, no, no -- absolutely no need to apologise. And it was hardly an outburst. If I consider any comments to be abusive or inappropriate then I delete them. Trust me: your comment was nowhere near that territory. I'm pleased you like Penhaligon's, but please remember that ultimately, you must wear what you enjoy.
@@Persolaise Thank you so much for your kindness and reassurances. This fragrant journey I am on twists and turns all the time, I'm learning to love what I wear and thanks to your videos I'm getting a better idea of what may suit me and what I must get my hands on. Your expertise are remarkable, finding your channel has been a breath of fresh air.
One of the only UA-cam channels I click 'like' on before I've watched the video. ❤️
Oh my goodness, thank you.
@@Persolaise Not at all, D 🤗

So happy the legend has returned!! Thank you Sire P! :D oh what a great day!!!
You're too, too kind. Thanks, Ryan.
I keep a little dragon in my perfume cabinets to guard my horde of vintage Eau Sauvage... 🤣🤣🤣
Ha! Good idea.

Missed the stream as usual haha I am fast asleep in New Zealand. Good to see you again. Very happy you are back!
Well, beauty sleep is more important than perfume ;-)
Good to see all those delicious sweets have had no adverse effect 😁 great to see you again here.
Well, I hope they haven't.
Many thanks for watching.
Thats a great selection you have there!

Yes, it's a gorgeous scent, and I suspect the original formulation is superior to the current one.

Great to see you back Dariush and nearly at 10k!! 👍
It’s great to be back… and you’re right! We’ll have to plan something for the milestone.
I also have Dzongkha bottle of original design. Always loved it, but not sure, that many people would appreciate it. It is quite original
It's very, very special. Thanks for watching.

Oh wow, the vintage CdR must be incredible.
Thanks for watching.
I appreciated the mentioning of Santal Blanc. I will be reaching for it again when the knitwear comes out of the closet.
Ah, excellent!
One of my favourite sandalwoods and one that I think fits the style you were going for here is L’Atelier’s Santal Rouge, very smooth and creamy sandalwood, perfect for quiet contemplation IMO.
I shall have to check it out. Thank you.

Thanks for the tip -- I shall keep my nose out for it. And yes, the Le Labos are very pricey.
I like the presentation and the concept behind the Maison Crivelli perfumes, I would love to hear your opinion on them!
I'll see what I can do. Thanks for watching.
I’m still looking for that one brand you reviewed and I can’t find the vid or the scent! I remember you said it had notes of cauliflower
Oh dear -- I don't remember that either.
I've been wearing Rouge from CDC for months and oddly enough today as well and although I originally purchased it for my husband. He loves Patchouli but does not enjoy this. It seems to get sweeter as you wear it. 2 Man is an absolute perpetual winner.

I'll see what I can do about Crivelli. Many thanks for watching.
@@Persolaise It was satire! The bit of Coco’s life that will never be mentioned by the company. Le Lion however is superb…
Ah… I was being VERY slow there!
Savage roast please 😁 I learn as much during your "bad" perfume reviews as your good ones. The Viking review is still one of my favorites.
Oh dear... let's see what we can do...
Thanks for watching.

Could that stew/celery note you detect be lovage?
I guess that's possible.
I had also Santal Blanc in original bottle. Unfortunately, only an empty bottle now😟
Ah... you must have enjoyed it, then.
I hope Dior brings back Vetiver to the Privee line. I would buy one instantly
I know lots of people miss that one.
Thank you for watching.
Glad to have one. Wish they didn't remove any from La Collection
Tiny spider must be loving the perfumes and do an interview with Mathilde Laurent
I'd love to get her in the studio.
My new coup de cœur is Orpheon from dyptique
Ah, good to know. Thanks for watching.
Love the CdG Copper
That was another interesting release.
Hate Dior for not selling the Collection Privee in Denmark! 😭
Oh dear -- it is a nuisance when you can't certain perfumes in certain markets.
Thanks for watching.
The spider comment made me laugh 😅
:-)
Yes its Keats , from To autum.
Thank you.
I think Comme Des Garcons Rouge smells divine on skin! I know it is a bit odd, but I love it!
Wonderfully odd, right?
@@Persolaise Absolutely! ❤
Yessssssssss
Thanks for watching.
