I’ve been saying it since I got it a few weeks ago… Pikovaya Dama might be the best thing I’ve ever smelled. I can’t think of many besides maybe Mitsuoko and Roja Haute Luxe that smell this mesmerizing to my nose. I’m utterly obsessed with it. Smells ridiculously luxurious. Someone said it’s like “royal rich-ass baby powder” and that’s sort of accurate albeit way simplified. There’s also touches of incense in there, all floating on a base that’s almost resinous. Feels like you just took a bubble bath at the Biltmore with the most expensive soaps you can imagine
Diaghilev is a must buy for all Chypré lovers. I call it the Mona Lisa of fragrances. For me, one of the most important things about fragrance is how it makes you feel, this makes me feel majestic. There are only two fragrances that have made me feel majestic; Diaghilev and Chypré Extraordinaire. I give it a 10/10.
I’ve heard people say Iris smells like cash!😂 Very interesting take and I am in the category of not dressing up or going anywhere but ill wearing perfume. I’d be very interesting on a video on the whole idea of masculine and feminine in perfumes maybe with Dana. Would be fascinating. As a woman I wear more masculine fragrances and I get more compliments when I do - MDCI Amber Topkapi being the most complimented of all.
I am the same and it works beautifully with my skin. I started buying for hubby but alas ; he doesn’t have a nose🤦🏻♀️. I sprayed on me and boom , my journey grew and I’m loving it. I’m intrigued by the Topkapi now. 🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺
Love Raw Gold! Amazing opening notes; moderate longevity and projection with a classy and intoxicating dry down. Beautiful fragrance... Would love to locate a bottle of the original EDP.
Mandala - Masque Milano/ Jubillation XXV - Amouage/ N.001 - House of Sillage/ Oud Malaki - Chopard are my luxurious goes to wear for "special occasions".
No Dior Homme Parfum? Quelle surprise...I own Auster, but people should be warned to go lightly with this one. Potent in the extreme, it can choke people out if you get carried away. . If I'm going to wear it out, I'll apply it a good two hours before heading out the door.
I know there are probably 100 other perfumes you'd have wanted to list but when it comes to oud, I feel like Strangelove NYC is at a completely different level because the sensuous animalic part of oud and all its complexity is made very apparent and anyone who knows what real oud smells like (which still doesn't include all perfumers) will be struck by Strangelove.
OMG, I just bought Bois Ambrette today after I smelled it in the store, but got upset from the reviews of Fragrantica ppl. Thanks for putting it in this list Sebastian ☺️
Nice, It's Royal Oud for me it made someone told me I smell like a french whore, I took that as a positive compliment. Should do a list of fragrances that ought to be kept a secret and not share with anyone. Also a list of incense fragrances that can or may repel bad energy when in public for the winter season.
I have but need to circle back to it. They have a huge catalog and can't get caught up with stuff that came out and went past me before I got my nose on it! :)
I bought Electimuss Auster, but have come to regret it. i found it fatiguing in the extreme and would happily sell my nearly full bottle at a substantial discount. I'll stick to Coromandel and Dior Homme going forward.
It's strange you haven't pick any from amouage and they have some fragrances perfect for this list like jubilation 40 extrait or boundless or interlude 53 extrait reflection 45 may be

I thought for sure Grand Soir would've been on this list. Its so elegant to my nose.
Noir de Noir must be one of the most enduring luxury fragrances still around. It is everything a luxury scent should be.

It's a great scent for sure. Love it.
Great description!
Pikovaya Dama is one of my favorites!
I second this as well as Xerjoff’s Richwood
Pikovaya is the most beautiful fragrance i've ever smelled. It smells immaculate
The only problem is the price
Just smelled The Moon again today. Absolutely stunning, one of my favourite perfumes ever.
I love to dress up with scents. My favorite is Dior Homme Parfum.
Such a great list, especially for the holidays! Really enjoyed hearing your thoughts on fragrances for ‘’dressed up’’ occasions!! Thank you! ❤
I love this list. I must check out the Xerjoff and FDB scents.
My dressiest fragrances are Tempflou by Nishane, The K'Bridge Club by Xerjoff, Oriental Enigma by Alexandre J., and Patchouli Impérial by Dior.
Lots of nice goodies there!! :)

Wow Sebastian!! What a list. I have three from the list and on my way to get the rest!❤
Ormonde jayne is releasing three new fragrances in Jan and they are Aaaaaammmaaazing
Oh wow!!
noir de noir is amazing
makes me wish I was involved with someone right now
I love this list. Love the idea Sebastian.
So glad!

Great video, I own Diaghliev and Noir de noir. I will be wearing for my holiday parties.
YES awesome.
Tom Ford Noir de Noir is a perfect pick! Happy holidays.
Happy holidays!

Mandala - Masque Milano/ Jubillation XXV - Amouage/
N.001 - House of Sillage/ Oud Malaki - Chopard are my luxurious goes to wear for "special occasions".
Yes. Great stuff.
Amazing review is always very helpful thank you .
Sebastian, any suggestions for a late June black tie wedding?
How about Ombré Nomade just go easy on the trigger. Or Raw Gold same thing go easy on the trigger! 😀
Nicolai’s NY Intense should be on the list IMO.
TT Sirrah, Mitsouko and Shalimar vintage, Djedi, YSL Babycat and Chanel 19, Serge Lutens Sarrasins, Joy, Ormonde Jayne Ta’if, RoyalCrown Sultan…
I think Cartier déclaration d’un soir , Issey Miyake Noir encens and Noir Argent are good for dressed up ✅
For sure.
Some gems there that I need to try . 😍🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺
Prada l’homme, Side effect, Oajan, Ombre nomade : Pure luxury
No Dior Homme Parfum? Quelle surprise...I own Auster, but people should be warned to go lightly with this one. Potent in the extreme, it can choke people out if you get carried away. . If I'm going to wear it out, I'll apply it a good two hours before heading out the door.
No it's a unisex list so I added Harmonious instead! Try Harmonious if you can.
Great video and I enjoyed it and I like Tom Ford noir de noir and I'm going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed day
I really like Pikovaya Dama..I do find it very classy ..dressed in Chanel for a dressy evening

Hey ❤
Could you please tell me about the longevity and sillage of Pikovaya Dama fragrance before I make my purchase?🙏
1872 by Clive Christian makes you feel rich and happy
OMG, I just bought Bois Ambrette today after I smelled it in the store, but got upset from the reviews of Fragrantica ppl. Thanks for putting it in this list Sebastian ☺️
Oh no upset?
I never go by Fragrantica. Scent is very different with everyone. Go with what smell nice on u.
500 Years by État Libre de Orange. ❤
Yes!!!
Great video! How about Heritage although it might lack sillage and longevity?
English Laundry Oxford Bleu is very fancy to me but for a cheaper price
Have you tried xerjoff via cavour 1? What are your thoughts?:)
yes and have discussed in a few videos like this one:
ua-cam.com/video/hJ8Cqhli5dk/v-deo.html
and this:
ua-cam.com/video/5xt4YzXi2SQ/v-deo.html
Faux semblant❤
I really dig the stuff coming out of Naughton and Wilson,in particular Bon Viveur,can't tell you how many times I was complimented when I wore it.
Nice, It's Royal Oud for me it made someone told me I smell like a french whore, I took that as a positive compliment. Should do a list of fragrances that ought to be kept a secret and not share with anyone. Also a list of incense fragrances that can or may repel bad energy when in public for the winter season.
What in your opinion is a nice musky/woody perfume that is not too expensive?
❤ Noir De Noir 🖤
Raw Gold 🧡
Coromandel 💚
The Moon 🤍
Good picks. Have you tried Xerjoff Begum?
I have but need to circle back to it. They have a huge catalog and can't get caught up with stuff that came out and went past me before I got my nose on it! :)
I'd have gone with Xerjoff's Richwood over Pikovaya Dama. PD smells a bit like chems from a tool shed.
Creed Royal Oud and BDK Gris Charnel Extrait for me
Oh yes. Almost put the Royal Oud but I left it off. Wanted a complete unisex list! :)
Need all of em
YES
I want a timeless(any age) seasonless(any season) scent that is romantic feminine but also fresh any tips? Or is there a video ?
Love the Moon
No mention of Tuxedo?
It’s not even that good. Very basic, like a designer version of Grand Soir
No Xerjoff Richwood?
I bought Electimuss Auster, but have come to regret it. i found it fatiguing in the extreme and would happily sell my nearly full bottle at a substantial discount. I'll stick to Coromandel and Dior Homme going forward.
Good
It's strange you haven't pick any from amouage and they have some fragrances perfect for this list like jubilation 40 extrait or boundless or interlude 53 extrait reflection 45 may be
Let me tell you something you might not know but there are stranger things in the world than not selecting a fragrance. 😀
@@ThePerfumeGuy awesome answer 👏 in a good way 😍

Question: what happened to pour un homme de Caron, pretty pricy now and hard to find?
The brands distribution and new ownership. It's still made. I did discuss it in this video recently: ua-cam.com/video/NpL9Pr1ih8Y/v-deo.html
Oh, how i long for these fragrances. Well, back to my budget friendly rack store finds. *sigh*
Ambre Russe 💪
🌹
10-15 min.
I absolutely love Diaghilev! I currently have Ta'if by Ormonde Jayne. I've also tried Montabaco. This is a fragrance house I can get into.
Coromandel gives me this feeling as well as Cuir Beluga.
Ooh yes Cuir Beluga.
@@ThePerfumeGuy I just thought of another... Celine Black Tie!
So in other words, the best fragrances on the market. What is sexier than dressing up? Nothing
Amouage Gold Man for that regal dressed up feeling!
Just got town & country, so good. Real nice sage note in there as well, classy.
Thank you for this list. A few new that I have never heard of.
Lalique White.
Wearing Tuxedo today but dressed casual
