Thank you for answering our question about Quentin Bisch! It was a surprise to hear he's soft-spoken as his creations are definitely not :D And obviously HUGE congratulations on reaching 25k subscribers here, we all love tuning in to your stories and seeing your unchanged passion for fragrance. It's been a pleasure 🙏
You're very kind. And yes, good point about QB.
I commented when I first started watching that I couldn't believe you only had 10k subs. Best perfume content on UA-cam easily. On to 250k!
Same
I’m not holding my breath 😂 But thank you very much.
Congratulations Mr P! You are a real treasure and breath of fresh air in the world of perfume content creation. It’s been a joy to watch you. Here’s to many many more milestones!🎉❤
Very, very kind. Thank you!
Thanks!
This is too generous -- thank you!
Congratulations! Herzlichen Glückwunsch!
Thank you so much.
Congratulations 🎉
Absolute pour le soir & le matin are actually coming back !!
Oh really?? Brilliant news!
Can hardly wait to play this from the start. The algorithm doesn’t always present your videos despite being a subscriber, so likely some fans didn’t get this and other videos pop up, just so you know. This looks like a real treat so glad it showed up for me albeit near the end. I heard the algorithm focuses more on what we recently watched. Love your content ☀️🌺🌿🌲🌸🍁
Ah, the good old algorithm!
Thanks very much for taking the time to write.
Thanks so much for reading my question in Halfeti Leather. My son wore it the other evening and was bombarded with compliments and people asking what he was wearing. He reckons it was even more than when he wore Portrait of a Lady. Must admit, I’m rather taken with the leather version!
Well, if he enjoys it, he must keep wearing it. I do think it's the best of the Halfetis.
Congratulations on the 25K, Mr P!! 🎉 Well deserved! I don’t always get to watch your videos, but they always make me smile, sometimes LOL, and today, possibly going online to restock on my favorite Malle fragrances, POAL, Iris Poudre…😅
Congratulations Mr P and Mrs P for the 25K subscribers.
Many, many thanks.
Dear Persolaise, thank you for all your wonderful reviews. I find our tastes are very similar, so your content is especially helpful. Your approach, no-hype style is such a nice breath of fresh air amidst all the influencers promoting their free goodies!!
That's very kind -- thank you.
Congrats!!!
Thanks very much indeed.
Hope you feel better soon !❤️
Thank you.
Always a pleasure to listen to your experiences, wisdom and critiques. Greetings from the land of the Vegemite sandwich.
Believe it or not, I have yet to try Vegemite.
Thanks very much.
Congratulations on your 25K Dariush!!!
Thank you so much 😀
Congratulations on 25k! I think people who don’t care that much about something just want someone to tell them what to buy. But those who are genuine enthusiasts want authentic and unbiased reviews.
You may well be right. Thank you.
Dear Dariush, thank you very much for taking the time to answer all those questions, including mine, at the expense of your health. Raspberry jam (anything with raspberry) helps relieve cold symptoms.
Regarding your question concerning the perfume reviews bubble, I dare to say that, as with financial bubbles, the core issue is not AI but human greed. Once human ambitions exceed the capabilities that may support these ambitions, the inflated bubble of unsubstantiated claims bursts.
Any excuse to have some raspberry jam. Thank you!
Congratulation Mister P! I'd like to thank you for accompanying me during many dull days at work I really enjoy listening to you talking about perfume in the background while I'm working, it makes the time go by just a little bit faster.
I also would like to say I know many have pointed out that you are one of the most informative reviewer out there but I'd like to say that you're veeery entertaining to watch I love your jokes, your witty comments, the way you interact with your viewer/audience it just absolutely delightful to watch and while I get to learn so much from you I also have had so many laughs because of you. I admire that you take the time to reply to people comments and questions big or small I'm sure there must be a whole lot of go through sometimes. Thank you and congratulation again Mister P!
This is such a wonderful comment to receive - thank you.
Congrats Mr Persolaise! 👏🏻👏🏻
Many, many thanks.
Congratulations, it's so well deserved (at the very least). It may be one of the weirdest compliment, but i must admit that i'm generally saving your review for later, for a moment when i'll will need a bubble of serenity... So I just concur with 'keep up yhe great work ' :)
I love Apres l’ondee !! Such a gorgeous scent
Absolute classic.
Love your reviews. Lots of gratitude and greetings from Taiwan!
Very kind, thank you.
I’ve been with you from the start too! Congratulations xxx
I know you have. Thank you!
Congratulations!!!! Would you consider reviewing the Nicolai trip of gourmands? Her 1st gourmands. I am not into gourmands at all, but love Nicolai, and may be my gateway! And one is called Pavlova, and you have mentioned making pavlovas, so seems a good fit! Again. Congrats from NYC
I tried them all and bought Saint Honoré and it’s delish!
Thank you very much. I'd love to try them, but the Nicolai boutique is in such an out-of-the-way location in London.
Persolaise for KING!!!
Do I get to pick my crown?
Most definitely. With a perfumed wreath of course!
Would love to see you interview Quentin Mr P❤
Catching up late, as always 😬 Congratulations on the 25k, your content is indeed very worthy of every single subscription and viewer!
My question is: when do you foresee the gourmand, food recipe sounding perfumes, trend would start to die off?
And yes everything related to reviews by influencers for me now serves as entertainment in the background, with very few exceptions (including your channel) that I watch with intent and attention.
Thanks very much indeed for this -- you're too kind.
I don't see the gourmand trend dying, but I do see it changing. I wonder if we're going to see more and more 'savoury' gourmands.
@@Persolaise I wonder.. And sorry for the typos!
Congratulations Mr Persolaise !
Thanks very much!
Congratulations!!
Many thanks.
In the era of almost everyone around me getting Temu packages once a week full of glittery straws, 15 cent flip flops, Halloween themed pillow cases and doormats, I think expecting some sort to critical thinking regarding influencing would be wild. The tragic part is that some of them are aware, they just don't care. They want things, and they want the "confirmed" ones. Nothing better than the appealing average AI face with trendy clothes and a big following. Nobody wants to hear about your dusty Nahema (sarcasm).
Love from Paris!
Thank you.
Congratulations Monsieur Parsolaise! I am a new subscriber delighted to have found your body of work and joyfully mining the last 500 episodes. I just missed the live stream.
My questions stem from your comment in another video that you have delved into fiction: Have you written and/or published any works of fiction? Also, Is there a work of fiction that you would recommend that evokes the olfactory or multi sensory nature of perfume and or highlights some aspect of the perfume industry?
Of course I am asking but there is no need to answer. Get well soon!
Warm regards from Lesley-Anne in Canada.
Regarding the AI issue- Would we pick the blue pill or the red?
Thank you so much for this and for subscribing. I haven't had any long-form fiction published. You might find this link useful: dariushalavi.wordpress.com/writing/ And you might also enjoy checking out my Substack: dariushalavi.substack.com/
And yes, which pill indeed!
Many thanks! I appreciate your voice. Until next time.
Congrats again. Please consider doing a top ten Hermes video :)
Ooooh... superb idea. Thank you.
Big Congratulations! I really enjoy your content and look forward to many more videos to come:o) Julia
Thank you very, very much.
Cynically if someone is using an AI ‘influencer’, they are looking for justification/enablement to buy. Theres no way someone would use that for a subjective opinion….i hope.
Interesting. That would make the psychology of the whole thing even more fascinating.
Congratulations Monsieur Persolaisr!,🥳👏.
Have you ever visited the osmotheque in Versailles? Planning to go summer 2025
Yes, I was lucky enough to visit it a few years ago, and the article I wrote about the visit actually won an award, but unfortunately, it’s not available online any more.
About AI influencers- I don’t see why anyone would bother following that. Surely if you follow someone who takes photos/videos of perfume, or does reviews or writes about perfume you follow them for personality. You might share tastes of perfume, you might admire how they take photos/videos, you trust opinions or you like how they describe something. Then there is trust. If you are more likely to go sample or heaven forbid blind buy a perfume from someone’s post it’s because you trust them.
Yes there’s clearly some people who share content in whatever form who have been asked to be positive. I think a lot of people know and spot when something is clearly not 100% their opinion. But I dunno you like their personality or images but just have it in the back of your mind that it might or probably is just hype that’s been paid for.
I just cannot see how you could trust AI, where’s the personality, or that human touch of images that don’t always look perfect, or words that lack some emotion/real connection and consideration.
Hugely put off by AI (and I work in tech) but then I’m also put off photos that are so heavily altered in photoshop! 😂
Congrats on the 25k. Had Covid last week myself. Maybe get yourself a pot noodle and a bag of monster munch to help heal the bad lurgy!!
Pot Noodle AND Monster Munch!!! What a combo.
Thanks very much for sharing your thoughts.
Bro must be AI 😂😂😂 OMG this is a gem 💎 I think he said that because of your posh language too perfect to be real ahahhaa 🤔
Ha! If only my unscripted ramblings were perfect.
What’s the name of your book? I didn’t know you wrote one 😅
I’d give my eye teeth to get my hands on it but it’s out of print. 😕
This is the book: persolaise.com/le-snob-perfume
And yes, I’m afraid it is out of print.
35:22 AI can help adjust for the natural bias that is present in human experts (such as you). If that is the scope and purpose of AI, it may be an interesting thing. But when people deploy AI to insert sponsored opinions, it is clearly undesirable.
Thanks for this. I think, at the moment, it’s just being used to spread paid-for opinions.
