I love 24 Faubourg so much. There’s something about these classic fragrances worn by stars of the recent past that have a larger-than-life, transporting elegance.
What a fantastic list and some great women, of course all presented by a great classy woman. Great matches too, love some of them that I've tried. L'heure Bleu is magnificent 😍
Love that vintage vibe in fragrances 💞 I'm a fan of L'Heur Bleu 🥰 the iris is so lovely created and also young women/girls love this scent and don't find it old fashioned 👌
Mitsouko was my signature perfume from the age of 20, at 80's, for a decade! It is still for me the eternal love. I have a large fragrance collection, i have not anymore signature fragrance, since i want to enjoy the variaty of perfumes i own, but, in my heart, there is only Mitsouko! My precious!
I love love your description for the scents and the way you talk of them and all the details...you are so unique and awesome love cloud too and his voice when he agrees with you❤
Yes!!! This is why I love Guerlain so much, they're so rich in history... Keeping the glamour alive... Tragic what Dior did to Jean Patou, to have such a historical fragrance replaced by the pink juice.
Ava Gardner apparently wore Chanel's Gardenia and Acqua di Parma. I imagine Humphrey Bogart in a leathery scent, something like Knize Ten. Sean Connery was said to be a fan of Jicky, as was Brigitte Bardot.
I love Obsession and Bal a Versailles. I gave away Youth Dew but after watching your video I think I will have to pick up another bottle because I did like it.
I was 6 years old when I saw Marilyn Monroe in River of No Return. I remember thinking she was the most beautiful women I ever saw. Later as a young woman I discovered she wore Chanel No. 5 and naturally I had to get myself a bottle. I still love and own that fragrance. She is my favorite movie star icon.
You know your movies and great actresses 👍👍 loved the fragrances as well. Loved the comments from all of them and how accurate you were! Joy was one of my mothers favorite as 24. It is so good 😊
Ooooh, I adore Mitsouko. Its not for the fainthearted and I think people either love or hate it. I have Shalimar Soufflé Which I love. I'm tempted to try obsession again. Street car named desire..I remember that book and read it over a few times!. She had 'nerve trouble ' ... always accompanied by that 'hushed voice', when people spoke about it. Lovely fragrances. Very beautiful 😍
Ingrid Bergman was 59 when she was in 1975s Murder on the Orient Express, winning the supporting actress Oscar. She also has 2 Best Actress Oscars for 1945 & 1957 My favorite Bergman film was the 1946 Notorious.
Yes, this is what I live for! I love the glamour! This video really suits you. Thank you! I learned a lot. I have a lot of movies to catch up on. I must say that the description of Katharine Hepburn‘s signature really suits her. My Nana’s signature is Obsession and she always used to spray our birthday and Christmas cards with them. I remember the smell so well. How glamorous!!
This was fabulous! My late mom’s birthday is Monday She would have adored this video . She love the fabulous older movie stars and was always watching the classic movies My mom always smelled amazing thanks to her I love my fragrances!💕🌺
What a fun video, I love old movies, the actresses had class that you don't see often these days. You know so much, it was a pleasure to hear the stories and fragrances of historical beauties from your perspective.
Let’s take it back! I love these videos I’m obsessed with old glamour I love old Hollywood movies and documentaries I just watched Rita Moreno’s story last night ✨ you got me looking up some of these movies and actors ❤️☺️
Joan Crawford! I own 'Queen Bee'. Well, no one but Joan 'owned' her films! ha, but I have most of her films because no one did movie queen better than Joan & I need to watch her movies whenever I want! -- 'Harriet Craig' is a favorite and her Oscar winning 'Mildred Pierce'.
Obsession!! My mother wore it all the time when was growing up, takes me back to my childhood, my mom is a powerhouse of a woman you've described her to a T
Absolutely loved this Gabi. You always bring that vintage glam with some extra twinkle and personality. I knew Micheal Jackson wore Bal a Versailles but didn't know it was Elizabeth Taylor that influenced it. I've always been curious how it smells. Love the bottle!
I believe the wife of Prince William, the Duchess of Cambridge, wears Jo Malone. I heard she had Jo Malone candles all over for her wedding as well. I don't remember the particular scent but it is a popular one. Slightly off topic but I figured since Princess Diana was in this video that it was appropriate to mention. If I find out her fragrance choice, I will edit this comment.
Wonderful, wonderful content, seriously WELL DONE, you’ve done these fragrances and actresses justice 😘 Absolutely adore 24 Faubourg, I too have the edp xx
Hi Gabi, I was wondering if you've tried "Shocking" by Schiaparelli? I would like to recommend it to you, hiwever it was discontinued but you can still find some minis on ebay. It is jasmine, honey, civet, powder... My oh my how great that is... ❤️❤️❤️ I find it similar to Bal a Versailles but BETTER 😍
Amazing video, thank you. I wore 2 of those scents, Joy and Obsession. One thing I will say about these fragrances is that it was perfectly ok to wear strong fragrances and also be un apologetically glamorous in the 80s. Today I feel if you try to be glamorous you may get dirty looks. Due to allergies I have to wear light fragrances, but not by choice!!😂
Gabi, this was amazing! I love vintage fragrances and so enjoyed hearing what the starlets of yesteryear wore. How thrilling Jane Fonda wore Obsession, I wore it for years! Also absolutely love Shalimar, Opium, Tabu, White Shoulders, Chanel no.5...I have no idea if any Starlets wore these, I would love to know. I still wear them all the time. Now I need to get my hands on a few of these! Thank you love xx
People stank. lol Elizabeth Taylor was so over the top fabulous! I just ordered a bottle of Bal a Versailles. I actually love many of Elizabeth Taylor White Diamond fragrances too. What do you think of them? Gosh I would love a whole video dedicated to her and her fragrances.
The original Obsession was the one perfume that gave me free worst headache when it first came out even though I loved the smell I could never wear it which is a shame, I’ve never smelt it since then. Same with original Poison, but I guess I just have to think of all the ones I can wear lol. Loved this video being reminded of all those screen sirens of yesteryear so thanks Gabster 💕💕💕
Obsession is still a powerhouse as is original poison. The sirens then had class and didn't compete for reality TV back then. Proper class and natural beauty 💞💞
I'm so happy you brought up Mitsouko! I bought it years back because I found out 1930s actress Jean Harlow wore it. I ended up wearing it on my trip to Hollywood back in 2018. 😎
Dear Fragnantician, Spendid choices; wonderful actresses. Am I right to be surprised by no Jicky or Shalimar? Jean Patou's Joy is an absolute favourite of mine, but the lab civit isn't nearly as good as the real thing, and so say I! When I was v. young (16), I volunteered at the local hospital where seemingly every lady on the ward had a bottle of Youth Dew and they all sprayed it lavishly on their person. I took against it, not b/c the patients were old, though they were, but b/c of the association with dying and death. Having heard you speak of it, though, I shall try it next time I see it. Oh, and one last one I adore is Lanvin's Eau de Lanvin - not that in any sense others need care. Thank you for a marvellous run-down, and for the film recommendations: Queen Bee sounds a hoot. Yrs, Lenore C-D PS My (maternal) grandmother was also born in 1913. Her scent was L'Air du Temps of which I always have a bottle in. L
Landing arpege is a beauty too. 😍 I think some fragrances give us a memory but it's nice to revisit something. I think the Lanvin you mentioned is one my grandmother used to wear, such utter class
Hi Gabi., I didn’t keep up with the Actors & there Fragrances, But I see you did. Enjoy your Smell good, Richard must_____, I am not going to say because I can be a little___, myself Gabi 3-26-2022👍🏽♥️, Joann Crawford was to much
Happy Saturday Gabby! I’m 💗 great video! I love Golden Pond too😍 and I want to check out these other movies you mentioned too. Guerlain is such an awesome house even from the beginning, I like Mitsuko 😍
You really know your movie stars!! Love hearing about all of the classic beauties and their favorite perfumes. I used to wear CK obsession, such a sultry scent. Joy by Jean Patou, is one that I wore in the 90’s, and loved it, along with Jean Patou 1,000. I may have to start wearing them again! Thanks Gabi for this fabulous video!🎬🥰
Absolutely wonderful coverage of classic Hollywood stars and their scents. I’m so into this and would love to offer you the idea of coming up with a video where you decide what modern day fragrances you think each of your favourite classic screen sirens would wear if they were living in their prime now. Loved this video! Will definitely check out Queen Bee. I watched Mildred Pierce at least 10 times. I want to try Fracas.
I also have a love for classic films. Charlie Chaplin is my absolute favorite. I have a bit of a crush on him if I must say. It was so interesting to find out the favorite fragrances of these stars. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Live your videos. Please keep it up. Love from across the pond.
Oh I loved Ingrid Bergman as a child I used to watch her films with my nan and I thought she was the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen 💝💝💝
Her daughter was stunning too. A true beauty 😍 ❤️ ❤️
I love 24 Faubourg so much. There’s something about these classic fragrances worn by stars of the recent past that have a larger-than-life, transporting elegance.
Yes Rich loves 24 faubourg when I wear it, it's very elegantly 🤩
What a fantastic list and some great women, of course all presented by a great classy woman. Great matches too, love some of them that I've tried. L'heure Bleu is magnificent 😍
Thanks Jon, I love the older era as you probably can gather haha 😄
@@thefragrantician it was a great era for fashion and pazaz back in them olden days 😜 maybe not the 70s or 80s tho 🤣
I didn’t realize the backstory of Joy! I love that. ❤️👍🏻
Yes. Something for the depression of the 30s.
Love that vintage vibe in fragrances 💞
I'm a fan of L'Heur Bleu 🥰 the iris is so lovely created and also young women/girls love this scent and don't find it old fashioned 👌
Yes I think you're right, I do love guerlain fragrances they are so classic
Mitsouko was my signature perfume from the age of 20, at 80's, for a decade! It is still for me the eternal love. I have a large fragrance collection, i have not anymore signature fragrance, since i want to enjoy the variaty of perfumes i own, but, in my heart, there is only Mitsouko! My precious!

Thank you so so much. I love reading everyone's comments it makes my day 💗
This whole video is sooo you - Hollywood glam, starlets, and over the top fabulous fragrances. Well done my friend! 🤩💖
Well Veronica, you're my latina queen, and I'm finding my feet here in fragcomm 💞💞
Omg Jane Fonda wore obsession,my hubby still wears the mens version and I LOVE IT
Rich wears it too!
Oooh Bal à Versailles 😍
Yes, you'd love it Paola. A hint of salome
Yes!!! This is why I love Guerlain so much, they're so rich in history... Keeping the glamour alive...
Tragic what Dior did to Jean Patou, to have such a historical fragrance replaced by the pink juice.
Yes I completely agree shame on Dior.
Such a glamorous lineup. Yes I am extra as hell. 🤣
Extra AF lol 😆
Ava Gardner apparently wore Chanel's Gardenia and Acqua di Parma.
I imagine Humphrey Bogart in a leathery scent, something like Knize Ten.
Sean Connery was said to be a fan of Jicky, as was Brigitte Bardot.
I love Ava Gardner. Now there was one beautiful woman
I love Obsession and Bal a Versailles. I gave away Youth Dew but after watching your video I think I will have to pick up another bottle because I did like it.
Bal a versailles has prescence! Youth dew is a classic ❤
Joan Crawford my goodness I’m obsessed this was wonderful Gabby 🤗
Yes, Joan Crawford was over the top 😆💞😃
Omg, Youth dew was my Mother's signature fragrance. I use to love how she smelled. 😥...Thank you for sharing this one Gabi
Youth dew is one that takes a solid strong woman to wear 😃😍🥰🥰🥰
I was 6 years old when I saw Marilyn Monroe in River of No Return. I remember thinking she was the most beautiful women I ever saw. Later as a young woman I discovered she wore Chanel No. 5 and naturally I had to get myself a bottle. I still love and own that fragrance. She is my favorite movie star icon.
She was a true movie icon I loved her too

Thanks so much. I love to research. That's lovely your mother loved 24 faubourg ❤

Which I love. I'm tempted to try obsession again. Street car named desire..I remember that book and read it over a few times!. She had 'nerve trouble ' ... always accompanied by that 'hushed voice', when people spoke about it. Lovely fragrances. Very beautiful 😍
Obsession is a beauty 😍 thank you for watching 😀💞
Lovely descriptions of lovely fragrances. I love knowing that Ingrid Bergman wore my fave chypre, “Mitsouko.”
Yes. She was a stunning woman!
I loved this Gabby, more please 🙏
Noted 😃❤

That's lovely your mum taught you well ❤💞
This was super cool, Gabi - really enjoyed hearing what famous film stars (and Princess Diana) wore for fragrances - well done!!!💜💜💜
Hey Joss, yes Princess Diana was such a star aswell as a princess. Thanks for watching 💞✨️✨️
What a fun video, I love old movies, the actresses had class that you don't see often these days. You know so much, it was a pleasure to hear the stories and fragrances of historical beauties from your perspective.

Loved her, I've never seen Harriet Craig though, I must look it up.
Obsession!! My mother wore it all the time when was growing up, takes me back to my childhood, my mom is a powerhouse of a woman you've described her to a T
Obsession is indeed a powerhouse ❤❤
Absolutely loved this Gabi. You always bring that vintage glam with some extra twinkle and personality. I knew Micheal Jackson wore Bal a Versailles but didn't know it was Elizabeth Taylor that influenced it. I've always been curious how it smells. Love the bottle!
It smells quite floral and animalic very much like a courtesan should smell. Thanks Lizzie ❤️ 😊
@@thefragrantician I have bought a 50 ml bottle just as yours. And quiet liked it. Do you find it synthetic smelling as it is reformulated
Guerlain ✨✨✨
Gulp! Lol🍀yes I decluttered it but I love the candles and have two!! 😂
Well.....I'll forgive you my beauty ❤💞
Hollywood Glam and fragrances go hand in hand and you’ve covered them well Gabi!
Hollywood glam indeed ✨️
So excited to watch while enjoying my ☕️
Love your storytelling! I love Youth Dew - wore it in the late 70s in my teens. Need to revisit that one!
I think its fabulous
I love that you included princess Diana ,I did know she wore Bluebell by Penhaligons and almost bought it because of that 💕I need to smell it
Penhaligons are so you Frances!
@@thefragrantician better late than never to discover this incredible house ,I’m planning to go next time I’m in London
Estee Lauder Private Collection smells almost identical to Bluebell. The notes are the same .
@@yasmindavidson5171 thank you for that information Yasmin 😍
