Got my hands on a bottle of Encre Noire as inspiration. I am hoping to work on a novel or short story cycle, and Encre Noire happens to help me get in touch with the main character's personality.
I had a signature I wore year round for years. I'm now discovering new frags for different seasons, weather patterns, times of the day, moods, etc. I don't think I'll ever return to one signature scent. Thanks for exposing me to new brands and accords. AdP is a fairly recent discovery and a new love.
Encre Noire in the summer. Yes yes and yes!! People (reviewers) keep saying that is dark, gothic, funeral appropriate etc and what I get is a beautiful beautiful vetiver. Definitely not a fresh take on Vetiver but beautiful and really easy to wear. Nice list!
I would love to see a desert scent video. I live in the Southern California desert where it got up to 120°F yesterday. I also love wearing Encre Noire during the heat along with Narciso Rodriguez for Him and Estee Lauder Knowing because they make me think of cooler weather. Some dry scents I like to wear when it's hot out are Sables by Goutal and Infusion d'Oeillet by Prada. I need to try that Rose on the Shore...I also love Eau de Protection by ELdO during the heat. Thanks!!
Sam! Love Love how elevated and expansive your selections are! Love Arquiste! Love Les Abstraits! ! Love Serge Lutens! Those are great picks! Many of the list I need to try or revisit 😀 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks! I get tired of summer fresh citruses. I want to try Des Cendres now! By the way, you look so beautiful. You always look so beautiful, but extra striking today. It's funny to me to hear you say "y'all" because you also have such good pronunciation in other languages and have no accent to your English. I'm from the southeastern U.S. and I say "y'all" probably 50x per day, and I know I have an accent.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on Memoirs of A Perfume Collector’s Beyond The Pashtun Summit. Really challenging, funky oud scent, but I keep being drawn back to it. There’s something very familiar about it that I can’t put my finger on.
Wow Encre Noire is a great choice for the summer. I do enjoy this one, I still kinda struggle with it. My vetiver journey has been the same though, it's definetly way more of a love now. Ok y'all 😂 that rose actually sounds really rather interesting and a unique take. Tuberose and Oud together sounds like a stunning mix 😍 The SL sounds very nice too and yes to a Desert scent list 😊 Great video and lots of new ones to me again
I love OG Habanita! I have the vintage EDT, EDP is on my Wishlist and after watching this video, so is La Cologne 😍 I am addicted to Victoria-I love the tart lychee accord. Really evokes ripe, sour jungle fruit. She’s so unusual. I’m a die hard tuberose lover and this is one of the most abstract takes on tuberose in my collection yet! I’ve tried Cuir Pampas-I agree, a wonderful leather. Pulled quite masculine on my skin in but the dry down oh myyy I couldn’t stop sniffing myself. Teisenddu is my next Frassaï full bottle purchase. A very interesting, aromatic, warm, smoky gourmand. Like ash from incense sticks with slightly singed brown sugar, aromatic, spicy and boozy nuances. It’s incredible. Yes Frassaï have a little bit of magic in their blends and is becoming one of my favourite houses of the moment. Thank you Sam, for recommending some scents that aren’t the stereotypical choice for the heat. I come to your channel so I can smell a little different and trust your nose 🫶🏼
If you like dry, spicy fragrances, may I suggest Swiss Arabian's Areej al Sheila? There is rose in there, but I find the dry spices to be dominant. I have been trying out some of the lighter scents from Imaginary Authors right now, because I live in a hot, humid climate that's especially swampy at the moment. Last summer I lived in Skylar's Salt Air because it was all I could stand to smell. So refreshing!
Have you ever tried Megamare by Orto Parisi? I love wearing it in the summer. Smells like the salty, dark sea with a hint of jasmine. I like to layer it with Hermes Santal Massoia. Massoia smells like a milky fig with coconuts but not coconuts in the notes. I did it by accident one day and it was a hit.
Ahh so excited for a new video from you, I just love your taste and the way you express your thoughts about fragrances... Will have to pick up a sample of Habanita. For this summer I've bought a little bottle of Ma're by Jazmin Sarai, the freshest intoxicating sea breeze carrying citrus and cedar and bright green cypress, the eastern Mediterranean in a bottle, I'm obsessed!
Excited as always when a new video from you pops up! Please try Fleur de Sable by Liquid Imaginaires. No one talks about it but it reminds me of being in the desert. It’s an ambery, Rose with a cayenne pepper note. Also, I had to laugh when you said y’all. I’m from Texas so I guess I say it so much I don’t even think about it. 😂❤
Loved the video! I definitely am interested in a desert fragrance video. You could talk about ones for westerners and ones for people who are already familiar with those scents. I am always interested in dry spicy scents.
ROGET ET GALLET Feuille de Te is one of my top 5! I don’t know why it’s not more popular! Do you happen to know of and an eau de parfum that has similar notes?
Thank You for your recommendation I’ve been wearing Xerjoff Mefisto Gentiluomo it’s time for a switch up in this heat. FYI you look amazingly beautiful‼️
As usual, enjoyed the video! Looking forward to trying some of these suggestions! Never tried Havanita La cologne!! Is there an email address that I can reach you at?
Man the way I patiently wait for your videos🇿🇦🇿🇦 best fragrance channel out there. Love from South Africa
Haha I feel the same. Finally!
One of my favourite forms of self-love is this channel. Great work ❣️

Completely agree Encre Noire during the Summer is incredible!
Interested in the video about desert fragrances
Same comment basically - Enjoyed the video. Love the different choices you bring to the table

Thanks for making me rethink about wearing Encre Noire, it might be fun to wear during summer
I would love to see a desert scent video. I live in the Southern California desert where it got up to 120°F yesterday.

I love Victoria, even though I'm not a huge fan of tuberose or oud. It's just an amazing concoction! Cheers, Sam.
Sam! Love Love how elevated and expansive your selections are! Love Arquiste! Love Les Abstraits! ! Love Serge Lutens! Those are great picks! Many of the list I need to try or revisit 😀 👏👏👏👏👏👏
ps - I think Eugen said Les Cendes is going out to the woods for a rebirth after the heartbreak 😀 (like a phoenix rising from ashes)
Im wearing synthetic jungle 🍀, only thing that can stand against hot and humid weather in Japan.
Desert scents video please!!! I’m just so curious. ❤

Great video Sam! Wearing Ambre Sultan in the heat is quite perverted and daring, but at the same time it definitely blooms in high temperatures! ☺️✌️
I hated tuberose notes in my 20s now that I’m in my 40s, I love it!
I'm with you on Acqua di Parma!! 💛

Desert scent video, please! Also, rainforest, tundra, mediterranean...

I love it damp soil 🥰🌧️
Hi Sam 🌹 I agree & love Victoria - I had almost the same reaction when I smelled it for the first time. Love this house ❤
Love this summer afternoon swim of LV and neroli vetiver of Guerlain, a little mainstream I see...
Love Acqua di Parma, and agree with Serge Lutens Ambre in So California.

love me a nice robe, it’s all I wear around the house🥰
Tres bonne liste 👍🏻.
I live in the desert and would love a desert scents video!
Really enjoyed! TFS
Hi Sam,
I Love Terre from Hermes in the heat, it helps feeling good when it Is toooooo hot😊
Wonderfully descriptive Sam! I enjoyed hearing you talk about these scents. Thank you! 💛😊

Ahhh. Still trying to find a bottle of Molinard Habanita La Cologne. ❤
El is such a sexy fragrance! That civet is gorgeous. But, there’s something about its dry down that I’m not quite sure about. Fabulous list!
Hi Sam 😍. Great video
You are cracking me up today 😂 ty Sam. Enjoyed very much.
10:41 THE BROS
That thumbnail is dope Sam.
And yes dessert heat perfumes
Where are the Les Abstraits available? Very interesting indeed. I am a fan of Antoine Lie.
So happy to see you post!! More please.
Loved the video! I definitely am interested in a desert fragrance video. You could talk about ones for westerners and ones for people who are already familiar with those scents. I am always interested in dry spicy scents.
Would love to get your take on Encre Noire Sport. Its a little on the nose as a summer experience but it’s really well done as well.
El is my favorite!
have you tried vetiver insolent from miller harris?
Cool vid Sam, thanks for the varied and out of the ordinary recommendations!
ROGET ET GALLET Feuille de Te is one of my top 5! I don’t know why it’s not more popular! Do you happen to know of and an eau de parfum that has similar notes?
Thank You for your recommendation I’ve been wearing Xerjoff Mefisto Gentiluomo it’s time for a switch up in this heat. FYI you look amazingly beautiful‼️
Always coming with the 🔥🔥👍🏽
Great vid Sam! Loved your vid with Cherie too! I want to get married now 🎉 xxxx
Ahh I missed this lovely lady! ❤️🤤
Y'all is a proper and inclusive contraction. Embrace it! :)
As usual, enjoyed the video! Looking forward to trying some of these suggestions! Never tried Havanita La cologne!!
Is there an email address that I can reach you at?
You are so beautiful in our kimono robe! what kinds of perfume is suitable for this design style
It says that Habanita De Molinard (black bottle) is for woman. But alot of reviews says that it's unisex. What is your thoughts on it for man???
I missed you so much❤❤❤
What's your best desert smell fragrance
Could you tell me how you got a bottle of des cendres les abstraits in the UK?
"Letting You Know, Bros" is a category that needs it's own video 😂
What was that website you named for people that like "alternative" type fragrance?
El smells straight up like Dove soap to me! I don’t get it unfortunately.
Sam! I hope you are doing well. You just made me want to blind buy all of these ahah
Encre Noire in the heat? 🤔
Why I am saying y'all? 🤣
Any man robes?
Have you tried YSL Kouros (vintage batches, in particular)? If so, would you say that Arquiste El smells similar?
