I sampled Awake and Haze. The openings were impressive, but I found the mid and drydown to be quite tedious. Especially Awake turned into a longlasting stale coffee smell, which I couldn't stomach after a while. But props to the brand for not playing it safe
the hubbly bubbly. brilliant. Smoke sounds great. I love smoky , cigarette-y scents, I'm excited to try this. hot couture givenchy always makes me think of 80's car with used ashtrays but there's raspberries in the ashtray.
This was such an enjoyable video to watch, I could feel your excitement through the screen! I had actually already heard of this brand, but I wasn’t pushed to try anything - however now I will most certainly buy the discovery set.
Revisiting this in excited anticipation for your upcoming chat with Monsieur Cresp. My discovery set is on its way and hopefully will arrive just in time to sample for myself while I watch!
I love them all. and I really think Malt smells exactly like a whisky destillery. I visited a lot of them and it's exactly it... love Night as well.Can not get enough!!!!! thanks for your review. Love it as always. hugs from NL
I purchased their discovery set a few hours ago without knowing you had talked about it! Now hearing your thoughts, I'm equally affraid and excited to try them 😂😊
Testing Dark today on skin. As expected it shines more than on strip. Really enjoyable. Do you have faves from Akro? I tested everything except the new East. Props for keeping it real!
Went through the discovery set yesterday and testing/wearing Awake first today, I am impressed by it! I wonder if your opinion has changed on it? Really worth trying these perfumes, excited to wear the other ones too in the upcoming days.
I was already won over for life by you Sire P but after your comments on the Devil’s Lettuce I’m won over for eternity. Definitely comes off as juvenile and makes me cringe. I just ordered Akro Smoke, can’t wait to try!!! TY Sire P :3
I’m so intrigued by Haze. I like herbaceous/green/earthy scents like Vetiver and Oakmoss and the smell of hemp / CBD oils etc, but cannot stand the smell of smoked marijuana, which just strike me as cloying, dingy and holds negative associations. I’m really not sure where I’d stand on this one. As a request, could you please try and give your opinion about on the Margate brand Haeckles? 🙏🏻 Some people absolutely rave about Pegwell Bay 21’30’E but they seem to have some very unique fragrances! X
👍🏽 This was the concept and set I was most excited about - and satisfied with- in recent memory. I’m a sucker for a concept and this was executed well! I’d been searching for my tobacco- and I think Smoke may be the one. I also like Awake (coffee was another hunt). I’m just not sure if it’s a not a bit too sweet once it settles, for what I’m wanting.
For anyone looking to explore other chocolate fragrances, Jeffrey Dame/Dame Perfumery has some very solid choices for anyone interested in chocolate in perfume. My favorite is his Chocolate+ EDT. He also has Chocolate+ Rose and Chocolate+ Milk.
@@Persolaise just got a set today,and first impressions are really really good….all of them…will start wear each one of them to test it on a daily basis,longevity and everything,but really good first impression.I wish i’d like it less,because i can not afford every fragrance:),and smaller ml bottles would be preferred…very artistic house.
Night is definitely least favourite,but,I can see some beauty even here.Definitely sweaty to the max.The only reason I wouldn't wear this,is I wouldn't want that other people think I haven't had a bath for a day(s),or washed my armpits:))....Still haven't purchased a full bottle of any, although dark, awake,smoke are extremely sexy.Even haze and malt are excellent.All in all very original and highly wearable 🏠.Very nice!
Have been curious to try awake as I have yet to find a punchy coffee scent alot of these scents appeal and the bottles look awesome too A shame you don't like matiere perfumes for me encens suave is reminiscent of being in an orthodox church and their rose scent is just divine!
Hello Dariush (I often have to refrain from putting a jaan following your name. You know how we are, and not having been that engaged with Persian communities here in the US has not changed that a bit either!!). I think I may need to send for it, the set I mean. Would you recommend a couple of pipe tobacco perfumes, I suppose Tom Ford's TV could be one, but anything else comes to mind?! Many thanks. Loved the video, as always .❤️ 🙏🙏
Please don’t hesitate to add ‘jaan’. 😊 I don’t hear that very often these days. And thank you so much for watching. I’ll have to have a think about tobacco. Wasn’t Roaring Radcliff a good one?
I'm excited to try Smoke! The idea of smelling second hand cigarette smoke is very sexy to me. Celine's Nightclubbing introduced me to the cigarette smoke accord, and now I want more. Curious if you've smelled the Celine Haute Parfumerie line and how Nightclubbing compares with Smoke.
I've had a very fleeting experience of the Celines, and I was intrigued to try them properly, but their discovery set is so expensive. Thanks for watching.
Well, you're the perfume reviewer whose judgement I trust most/tastes most closely match my own, which means whenever you display this level of enthusiasm for something I have to bloodywell go out and buy it. Very inconvenient, terrible influence. Still, very excited about this one, especially the smoke.
My bottle of Haze is on it's way! I've been searching for a good absinthe. However, if you have some good absinthe/licorice/anise recommendations I'm always willing to try :)
I just tried these recently as well. Haze and Night were my instant favorites; Night in particular reminded me that Cresp was responsible for the Rochas Femme reform with a healthy dose of cumin. The others were fine, save Awake. I wonder where this line goes from here though. How many vices are left? 😇
@@Persolaise Not prominent, but to me there is a bit of a "salty" fresh something in the center of the fragrance. If you get a chance to smell it again, please look for it again :) Thanks for the reply
Haze was the only one I did not like, I live in the Netherlands and I adore the smell in summer when there are joints smoked in the city. its sweet. and so good, haze smells more like the unburned canabis. so I would have prefered the smoking scent ;-)

Yes, I'm not sure Awake works all the way through, as you suggest.
Many thanks for watching.

Smoke sounds great. I love smoky , cigarette-y scents, I'm excited to try this.
hot couture givenchy always makes me think of 80's car with used ashtrays but there's raspberries in the ashtray.
Let me know if you manage to try Smoke. Thanks for watching.

Ah, wonderful. Please let me know what you make of them. And thanks for watching.
Fantastic livestream
Thank you.
Yes, I found Haze very aromatic. It was the freshie of the bunch, imo.
Agreed.
Thanks very much for watching.

Oh wow, how amazing. Please let me know what you make of them.
Testing Dark today on skin. As expected it shines more than on strip.
Really enjoyable.
Do you have faves from Akro?
I tested everything except the new East.

Thank you. My favourites are still Smoke and Ink.
I love Dark! It's so good!
I agree - it’s one of the better ones.

I wonder if your opinion has changed on it?
Really worth trying these perfumes, excited to wear the other ones too in the upcoming days.
Awake still isn't one of my favourites, but I do think the range is very, very strong as a whole.

i had a wiff of them all , however, HAZE was by far my favorite!!
Ah, good to know, thank you.
Ordered this sample set! Very excited to try them....
Please let me know what you make of them.
@@Persolaise i will,definitely:)

I haven’t made any firm conclusions yet about MP. I’d definitely recommend the Akro sample set.
Thanks for watching.
@@Persolaise i look forward to hearing your thoughts on Matiere parfums
I recommend Floral Street’s Ylang Ylang Espresso too for a good coffee scent!
@@Pinerocks yes that is a good one

Good question!
What’s the smell of being addicted to social media?
Many thanks for watching.
Did you pick up a salty, almost dihydromyrcenol/blue accord in Awake? Seems I'm the only one that's picking up on it.
Possibly. But not in an especially prominent way. Perhaps that's what makes me feel dubious about it.
Thanks for watching.
@@Persolaise Not prominent, but to me there is a bit of a "salty" fresh something in the center of the fragrance. If you get a chance to smell it again, please look for it again :) Thanks for the reply

Ah, interesting point. Thanks for sharing.
I can’t decide on whether to buy the discovery set or just blind buy Smoke!! 😀
Oooh… that’s very tough. Objectivity demands that I recommend the set.
@@Persolaise I actually have done the opposite, I got 15% off too. Thanks 🙏🏻
I like this t-shirt what brand is IT? I would like to buy one
This was from Zara.
Thanks for watching.
@@Persolaise thank you 😀
Persolaise always looks amazing 😊 despite what Anna Bey might say
Wait… I can’t remember what the Anna Bey reference is. 🤷♂️
@@Persolaise Anna Bey is a UA-camr who goes off on Zara for not being "elegant" lol
Follow by Kerosene is the coffee forward fragrance that all others are judged against, and found wanting.
I’ll have to check it out.
Thanks for watching.
