- Episode 21 of Love At First Scent
This was a Facebook Live broadcast streamed on Sunday 28th October 2018. Unscripted. Unedited. Unrehearsed.
Perfumes covered in this video include:
- The One Mysterious Night from Dolce & Gabbana (at the start of the video)
- Pure XS edp from Paco Rabanne (at the 14:00 minute mark)
- Erawan from Dusita (at the 28:00 minute mark)
- Her from Burberry (at the 45:00 minute mark)
and the classic scent was
- Encre Noire from Lalique (at the 37:00 minute mark)
[Samples of all of the above provided by the brands, except for the Lalique, which is from my personal collection]

Blotter update:
- The D&G isn’t as easy to dismiss as I feared it might be. Yes, the woody-amber horror is still present, but some of the balsams and resins in the base are, to an extent, making up for its crudeness.
- The Paco Rabanne is still playing a fairly predictable white floral + gourmand tune.
- The Dusita has become a touch too faint, but it remains curious and intriguing.
- Encre Noire is in full vetivert mode, as expected.
- The Burberry is very strongly projecting the sticky-cough-syrup-cum-cleaning-detergent base of Kurkdjian’s own Baccarat Rouge. I know the latter has hordes of fans, but I can’t say I’m one of them.
Thanks very much indeed for watching!

I have taken the afternoon off work in order to catch up on your videos. What a pleasure! Thank you for fifteen months of learning and fun and companionship.
Wow, you took the afternoon off? That's amazing :-) And thanks for letting me know.
Massive thanks to YOU for being so supportive and encouraging over the last 15 months. I'm really and truly delighted that you enjoy the videos.
Always a pleasure to watch these! Many thanks.
joeribt So kind of you to say. Thanks very much for watching.
Thanks for these I’ve watched this episode 3 times already. It’s my day off
Brace Raid Three times?? No way 😊 Thank you so much!
I am in bed a bit under the weather and your reading of the Pure XS press release actually made me laugh outloud. Thank you.
😂
Excellent!
Hope you feel better soon.
P.S. “Layl Sihri” doesn’t mean “mysterious” night, Dolce & Gabbana. It means ‘Magical Night’.
HRH Ah, ok. Thank you!
Fantastic episode :-) It was great to hear your thoughts on D&G as not much has been said about it
That's really kind, thank you. And thanks for watching.
You are right when you said ( lell) is night , and the other word (سحري) is meaning magical, so it’s magical night.
Ah, thank you 😊
And thanks very much for watching.
Oh, D! You’re so modest. You say your French pronunciation is ghastly and then you speak like Molière. You say you can’t read the Arabic on the Dolce & Gabbana and then pronounce the words perfectly. Loved this episode as usual. Applause!
HRH Wow, thank you! Molière??!? I doubt I’ll get a better compliment this year 😂 Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment.
I was BELLY LAUGHING while watching you read the Pure XS press release and my poor old German shepherd woke up annoyed ! 🤦🏽♀️😂
Ha! Apologies to the German shepherd.
Thank God. A new Persolaise video! Your videos absolutely make my day. 🙂 Not a fan of Baccarat Rouge 540 either. Tried the edp and extrait. No, just no. Its base... the base that blares from beginning to an end that has no end. Perhaps one day I’ll change my mind. On that day, Hades should be rather chilly. Over to FB I go to watch epi 22. ❤️
So, with you, me and Madame Persolaise, that means there are at least three of us :-D
Thanks very much indeed for watching, and yes, you should find episode 22 over on Facebook. It'll make its way to YT soon.
Years ago I had severe nasal problems and lost my sense of sense for a while but still wore and blind bought new fragrances including Shocking by Schiaparelli and I was delighted with it but alas when my sense of smell finally returned.. it didn’t suit me at all and I understood why others had said it was a bit strong . I don’t have it any longer but would love to revisit and try again .
Ah, interesting. I’m sure our perceptions shift and change all the time.
Persolaise Perfumes It’s an age thing too and many fragrances smell richer on mature skin .
So Burberry wished- „Oh, We wish - Mr. Kurkdjan- something successful like Baccarat, but that mainstreamly sweet, like La vie est belle.“ And he made it.
Very possible ;-)
Thanks for watching!
Wow, the bottle of Paco Raban reminds me of xejoff new bottles...
Yes, I see what you mean.
Thanks very much for watching.
I smelled this yesterday in the shop , I felt it's really gothic and evil ,
Don't you think ?
Btw سحري means magical not mysterious
They translated it wrong
Greetings from Egypt 🇪🇬
silver Ah, thanks very much for the explanation, I appreciate it 😊And thanks for watching!
Hello again friend! Great video (per usual)! I wonder, though, if you could re-read the blotter update for Burberry Her and clarify your meaning? I'm American, and therefor, not easily startled. Witness our country's 2020 if you doubt that claim, and after four years of a synthetic president, I could see your statement going either way. Seems a bit crass for Dariush, then again, the perfume may just be that bad.
Ha... now I’m intrigued to re-read the comment, but if you don’t mind, I won’t rush to. Once something has been written and published, I need to be able to leave it in the past, otherwise, knowing me, I’d be checking everything every 5 minutes.
Thanks for writing 😊
@@Persolaise I completely agree. However, this I think stands a bit x-rated...I assume was a typo for gum (?) No harm here, just thought you should know.
😂
Of course, now I *had* to check. And apologies for any offence caused, but I meant this:
preposition
combined with; also used as (used to describe things with a dual nature or function).
"a study-cum-bedroom"
Thanks for taking the time to let me know, though. 🙏
@@Persolaise I've embarrassed myself with American ignorance. I wasn't offended in any way. I'll say startled perhaps; and now, humbled. Lol! I am sorry! (I write blushing.)
@@elizabethchurch6969 No, no, no -- you mustn't apologise. For one thing, you gave me a good chuckle. And for another, I'm now thinking that if you found the sentence unclear, I'm sure many others did too. Perhaps I should change it.
Anyway, I really appreciate that you took the time to write.
The better lalique "encre noire" is a l'extreme the best vetiver fragrance I own and that includes all the niche vetivers i own... a l'extreme is much more like Channels sycomore than the original encre noire..
Yes, I seem to remember being impressed with it as well.
Thanks for watching 😊
I love my previous DG the one edp, so blindly I bought this. Unfortunately this scent is too strong for me.
Thanks for letting me know. And thanks for watching.
I didn’t think of anything bad, when I switchen on this Episode 😄 Well yes, sex sells in all areas, but is it really necessary to mention it all the time? Perfumes are per se a sensual und intimite affaire, And I have never thought of popcorn as an aprodisiac ingredient, but we all learn. As always, thank you for the amusement…made my day 😅 (commenting for today is now finished, thank you for your patience 😉 )
I love receiving your comments! Don’t feel you have to stop. Many thanks for your support.
Hahah that press release does seem like it was written by a machine that’s hilarious
Oh, they're always a good laugh :-)
There is mention of Baccarat rouge and I was shocked by how much it reminded me of all those nasty sugary candyfloss Brittany spears horrors . I only had a tiny decant fortunately but hadn’t expected it to smell like that at all .
Very, very divisive scent.
Hahaha it keeps saying untamed and you like watch out this is gonna do something I’m cracking up too funny
:-D Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment!
