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 😍
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 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.
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.
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!
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 👌
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.
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.
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'.
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!!
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.
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 😊
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!💕🌺
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
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 😍
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 ❤️☺️
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
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.
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!!😂
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!
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
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 💞💞
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 😍
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
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!🎬🥰
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. 😎
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
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.
Hey Beauty🌺🌺🌺

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 🤣
Such a glamorous lineup. Yes I am extra as hell. 🤣
Extra AF lol 😆
I didn’t realize the backstory of Joy! I love that. ❤️👍🏻
Yes. Something for the depression of the 30s.
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 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❤
Thank you so so much. I love reading everyone's comments it makes my day 💗
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.
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 ❤

Well Veronica, you're my latina queen, and I'm finding my feet here in fragcomm 💞💞

Yes, Joan Crawford was over the top 😆💞😃
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.
Well I never knew that I love that. She was a true icon
I loved this Gabby, more please 🙏
Noted 😃❤

Loved her, I've never seen Harriet Craig though, I must look it up.
Guerlain ✨✨✨
So excited to watch while enjoying my ☕️
Lovely descriptions of lovely fragrances. I love knowing that Ingrid Bergman wore my fave chypre, “Mitsouko.”
Yes. She was a stunning woman!
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.

Thank you. Yes, class was in fashion then 💞
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 😃😍🥰🥰🥰
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 😊
Thanks so much. I love to research. That's lovely your mother loved 24 faubourg ❤
Good morning Gabi 💕
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!💕🌺
That's lovely your mum taught you well ❤💞
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 ❤❤
Great video
Hugs 🥰
I could see Doris Day wearing White Linen
I think of her with Rock Hudson
@@thefragrantician yes definitely LOL
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 😍
Obsession is a beauty 😍 thank you for watching 😀💞
I remember people saying ,they suffered with there nerves or They have bad nerves 🤷♀️
Yes u think its an older generation
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 ❤️☺️
I knew you'd love this. You're a fan like I am 😃💞💞
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 💞✨️✨️
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.

Thank you chandra I never knew that. Its interesting to know what perfumes they wear.
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
Wonderful, wonderful content, seriously WELL DONE, you’ve done these fragrances and actresses justice 😘
Absolutely adore 24 Faubourg, I too have the edp xx
Thank you I loved doing this. ❤️ it was great fun, and knowing that glamour still has a place in our hearts 💕
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 😍
I absolutely loved this video. Thank you so much. ✨🤍I’ve learned a lot again☺️
You're so welcome!
Hollywood Glam and fragrances go hand in hand and you’ve covered them well Gabi!
Hollywood glam indeed ✨️
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.
I've only tried one from her range which is rubies and diamonds 💎 I loved it. I think I should invest in some more ❤

I completely agree....if only we could wear these and be unapologetic...hang on I already do lol 😆 thanks for watching ❣️
I’m such a lover of all the classic movies !! Imagining what they wore is so fun 🤩
I just love classic movies. 😍 much better than today's
@@thefragrantician 💯
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
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!

This video is perfect: classic films, classic perfumes...so many memories ❤ I would love to watch a part 2 Gabs 😊 you're amazing ❤🤗

No that sounds intriguing
Hahaha what no Betty Davis LOL

Hahaha people stank 🤦♀️also all the flowers like lilies especially around a coffin was to cover the stink of the decaying body’s
Yes that's true!
OMG youth dew made me sick 🤕 please don’t wear it when we meet LOL 🤦♀️ That bottle doesn’t fit the smell I need to watch Queen Bee 🐝
Haha I actually love youth dew, but it's one not to overspray lol 😆
