    these classic fragrances are so good for summer, because they don’t have that modern sweetness, that can be very cloying in the dead of heat. the notes just play so well with the heat that they bring a natural sweetness out. amazing choices luke.

      Hi there! Yes, that’s precisely why I think these scents work for summer. I tried to wear Lolitaland the other day and it was beautiful but terribly cloying. I need to wait for the weather to cool down before I reach for it again. Thanks for stopping by!🙂

    Great video! I agree with you about wearing whatever you fancy regardless of the seasons. Had to laugh when Dune and Yvresse came up first, as I love them both in the summer too! Dune seems best suited to warmer weather on me and Yvresse is wonderful all year round. Did you ever try Yvresse Legere in the red box? I'm not sure how long it was made before discontinuation; it is also 1990's. It is a lighter and more floral version of the original Yvresse, very beautiful. I love wearing other chypre perfumes in hot weather too, like O de Lancome and Miss Dior (old version).

    • @lukeparfums
      @lukeparfums  2 місяці тому

      Thank you! Well, I like to bring out the big guns first.😂 Yvresse is definitely a powerhouse but still soft, powdery and floral.

    It’s so nice to see a summer video that isn’t all citrus scents ☺️ I always enjoy your videos Luke, thank you for all the work you do to share with us!
    I love that you mentioned Knowing as a potential for summer, I don’t know what it is but I am obsessed with the bottle for some reason 😅 I’ve been eyeing up some vintage auctions lately.
    My favorite summer scents so far this year have been:
    1. Matcha Meditation by Maison Martin Margiela, a gorgeous, slightly earthy matcha scent with a little bit of chocolate in the dry down. I think it’s one of my favorites of the whole year honestly!
    2. Outspoken by Fergie, this was released by Avon and it’s discontinued but I’ve seen quite a few excellently priced ones on resale sites and I love it, it’s a black currant with leather in the dry down, a little bit dark but very wearable, it’s like a summer goth scent to me!
    3. Giorgio Beverly Hills, I actually got this because of you and Gabi, so thank you! It gives me driving in the summer with the windows down vibes, and I also find it very comforting.
    4. Fracas by Robert Piguet, I mostly like to wear this at night for some reason, not to sleep but for if I just wake up in the night for a while. I just wear a little, I think too much and it would be overpowering, but it’s so gorgeous.

    • @lukeparfums
      @lukeparfums  2 місяці тому

      Hi there and thank you for your kind words. The Knowing bottle is so special. It’s well-made and heavy. Giorgio and Fracas are perfect tuberose scents. I don’t have the patience to take part in eBay auction but they are a great way to get rare vintage gems for less. Great list! Thanks for watching.🙂

    I love all your descriptions here. In particular the CD Dolce Vita oh I could so envision this. I use to work for women who had a perfume collection that was the biggest I had ever seen, half of which she inherited from her mom she had rooms in a small warehouse filled with boxes filled with perfumes going back to the 20s and 30s though most were from the 50s, 60s,70s and after. Some of them still had mink oil in them. She sold decants of them online. Oh the Gucci Rush bottle is so cool. Also love the bottle for Chantilly very retro. Green Tea sounds like it is great to spray on right out of the shower. Loved these reviews here and new friend here as well. Keep up the interesting content! 👍🥰☺

    Hi Luke!
    Your videos always remind me of perfumes that I've neglected and haven't worn in a while. I'm careful to limit my use of Yvress and Dolce Vita. I have small bottles, and I don't want to have to repurchase!😂
    I imagine that Jil Sander would smell like the old Bain de Soleil suntan lotion.
    I definitely go easy on Coco Mad Intense in warmer weather, but I wear it. I wear anything that strikes my fancy in any season.
    The only fragrances that you mentioned that I don't own are Gucci, Jovan, and Green Tea. And Jil Sander.
    Chantilly actually predates me by 8 years!😂
