  • So this is a follow up to last week's video; my 10/10 perfumes.
    The perfumes I show are those I would consider masterpiece level; they may not be my favorite and some are very polarizing, but the ones I’ve chosen are iconic and for the most part groundbreaking at the time of their release.
    Because many of you like to play the Fragrantica guessing game, I’m not going to list the fragrances here right away. I will come back to list them in a few weeks.
    I wanted to make sure I included some designer fragrances and a few marketed to men. 😉❤️

    Hi Chris. Babycat is again in stock. It is not discontinued. They had issues with the patent for this perfume. It is not discontinued. And it is not just middle east limited smell. Just wait and you will soon see it in the USA

      I don't trust anyone's judgement who 'hates' things. It represents a singular lack of objectivity. I make jewelry and I'm always so umimpressed by designers who 'hate' and 'can't work with' certain colors. Really, you're just making jewelry for yourself then? 🤣

    I remember smelling Dior Poison for the first first time. It was representative of that era. The 80s, a time of unapologetic maximalism, more is more, and excess....The bigger the hair, the closer to God 😉. It was THE perfume you didn't know you needed, but, overnight everyone was wearing it. I still wear Hypnotic Poison. I had a similar experience with Angel in the 90s. Wow. I had never smelled anything like it. Love it still today, even though I rarely wear it. Between the fragrances and music, it's as close as we can get to a time machine.
    Wonderful video 🙌🙌

Like you, I do not smell it here in my area and I have not grown tired of it in the least. I just bought the hair fragrance in it from Nordstrom which I can't wait to try. It's truly a masterpiece imo as well.

    I consider a masterpiece one that, as you said, is unique and showcases a new kind of profile, or else is outstanding in its category, but additionally it must be an enduring fragrance. The ones I consider masterpieces from my collection include Dior Poison (the OG) and Joop! Femme (a vintage bottle). Both still thrill me and fill me with wonder every time I wear them. Of the more recently released fragrances I own I'd probably include Black Orchid edp as a masterpiece. So different when it first arrived on the market. I also have to agree with you on some of your selections including Chanel No.5 (I have the edp, but I also love the L'Eau) and LADDM, and there are plenty you've mentioned that I love although may not agree they qualify as masterpieces. Lovely video. 😊😊

I had Angel when it first came out - I received it as a gift. And while I never really loved it, I used it up because I recognized how unique and special it was. Two that I would dearly love to own, as I’ve sampled and loved them so much, are Babycat and Lost Cherry. I will likely repurchase the lovely Chanel 5 Eau Premiere one day. It was an instant love and large bottle purchase when it first came out. You’ve got me interested in the EBK Patchouli one! Thank you, Chris 😍❤

    Wow, you look just like a Spring Day! Lovely. I am finding that I do love a perfume with some spice, which surprised me. One of my favs has the bay leaf note and another has a ginger note that is fairly prominent, both with vanilla. Neither would necessarily be called a masterpiece, of course, but I've almost finished both large bottles over the past winter, just a couple of spritzes left in each. Some of those you mentioned are intriguing! Thanks, Chris. Have a great week! ~Cynthia

I'm more partial to Jimmy Choo Fever, but the Illicit is very nice as well. I get the ginger in the opening, though it does fade after a couple of hours and goes to the vanilla, honey and caramel.

    Ivory Route is a power house! I love it so much. Very potent, a little goes a long way. I had worn it last week and after doing my laundry I could still smell it on my top. It’s a scent that makes me feel peaceful, it smells like when you’re going through an aromatherapy session at a spa. I also adore Gris Dior, I received my bottle last week and I was in awe ❤ I also have Angelique Noir, it’s beautiful. To me Ylang in Gold by M. Micallef is another masterpiece ❤Thank you for mentionning Samsara, this one in the old bottle, it is very special to me because it was the first fragrance I tried at a perfume counter in a department store after moving to Canada in 1984 🇨🇦 ❤ My other masterpieces: Oud Satin Mood by MFK; La Danza delle Libelulle by Nobile 1942; Cacao Porcelana by Attelier Matteri; Tommi Iommi Monkey Special by Xerjoff (I share it with my husband); Chanel Chance Eau Tendre (so feminine, a compliment magnet); Chanel Coco Noir; Lady Million by Paco Rabanne…
