    Thank you Persolaise🌼 for sharing this interview and for introducing Ostens! Many thanks to Chris for the sample of Cedarwood Heart, for shipping it to Bulgaria, although we are not on the shipping list, it made my week! 🥰 This fragrance is brilliant (I LOVE IT❤️!!!) and I will treasure the sample!
    ps: A visit to the Ostens is now on my must-do list when we visit London one day, right at the top together with: a London bus tour; English breakfast and Afternoon Tea Experience; a visit to Buckingham Palace, Platform 9 ¾ and the Sherlock Holmes Museum.

    Dariush, your perfumer/founder interviews are some of the most unique and enjoyable on youtube. Thank you for all the wonderful content. I hope that you get Yu on again soon, and maybe also Rodrigo Flores-Roux (insight from a master perfumer are rare on youtube). Also hope that you get a chance to do a live review of the new Serge lutens: La Proie Pour L'Ombre. It's a LEATHER, licorice, vanilla combo so it might right up your alley.

    An amazing interview. Chris Yu is a fragrance nerd just like me and I can totally relate to what he says and what he is doing and trying to do. I hope you do get him back for a part 2. I'm in Canada and that's not one of the places his company lists as a place they ship to, but they do state on their website that if you live outside of the countries they list, to contact them, so that is what I am going to do.

And if he has a vintage 70s bottle of the original Chloe by Karl Lagerfeld, I will bite his arm off..LOL (not literally, or maybe I do, LOL) Got to check this brand out when I can get back to London. That Rose sounds lovely.
