Ah, what a balm for the soul your videos are! Upon your recommendation, I bought Neroli Plein Sud and am quite astounded by its multifarious beauty. I don't know if someone has already clarified the idiomatic meaning of 'plein sud', but it's usually used to describe geographic orientation - for example, a garden that's "orienté au plein sud" is a fully south-facing garden. It's a beautiful name for this perfume. It's facing the south...it's looking at Morocco. Very poetic and in keeping with the lyrical spirit of such creations as L'Heure Bleue, Vol De Nuit, and even Shalimar.
I just discovered your channel today and I am so glad I did. You are so classy and elegant. I love how you explain your experience with each of your favorite fragrances. Your voice is so soothing too. Happy New Year! 🎊 I love Tilia! I like to wear a few sprays of Tilia and a few of Valaya! Lots of compliments!
I watched the AMA on a tv (!) and it was better resolution than the programs i watched on bbc i player !! Happy new year to Mr P and your lovely community
Wonderful varied list and although I haven't tried any , it's always a treat listening to your take on your chosen ten . Here's to next year ! Happy New year to you and Madame persolaise .😊
I watched the video and read the sub stack. Great list, don’t know many of these by smell but know them from your videos, but I know most of the honourable mentions. My standout releases of the year were Tuberose Astrale, Guidance 46 and Oud Alezane (I like Barenia as well). My favourite “new brands to me” discoveries of the year; Costume National, Bastille and Perfumer H. Thank you for all your incredible insights, thoughtful reflections, kind presentation and lightheartedness. I have enjoyed every video and I can’t wait for more in 2025. My perfume goals for 2025 1] be more mindful in my selections and 2] obtain some difficult to get must haves when able 😊 Happy New Year
Happy new 2025 to you and your Mrs.! Thank you for the full year of wonderful and intriguing reviews that have inspired me to venture and try some of them. What a joy! The best list j’adore 🥰 Linden been one of my favorite notes Tilia for sure will be added to my collection ! Merci 🦄🦄🦄🥂🍾
Hello Mr. P! Learn a lot from your streams. Just wanted to let you know I did notice white noise in the background (maybe a fan?) whereas in the past ones, I did not. I know you just changed your setup so wanted to give you this feedback. Cheers.
Thought of you while watching Auntie Mame with Rosalind Russell. The scene where they exchange presents and she gifts the housekeeper with an older (obviously) bottle of Shalimar. Round base with a pointed top and a round orange label. Just saw an empty one for sale on poshmark. Not sure why I never noticed it in that scene before. Great list again. I will have to try the Aquiste and Mama Juju.
Happy New Year Persolaise. Tilia was one of my hates this year, it ruined a dinner. 😊 My most loved discovery of 2024 was Spell 125 by Papillon. Not new, but new to me. And I greatly enjoyed Paris Patchouli from Guerlain.
Thank you for the list! I also enjoy the neroli from Guerlain and Chyprelia from Puente. I think Philtre from Hiram Green is another good one, likewise Un bel Amour from PdE that you mention. Unfortunately Paddock isn't available anymore even in Paris, so it's completely gone.
All new to me except MFK. I giggled so much with your squeaky cap, as it reminded me of a joke so long ago about “what noise do clowns make when they’re making love 🤣🤭😂 Happy New Year 🎉🥳 🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺🥳
I have discovered the Roger & Gallet heritage collection this year. Like all of their edc‘s they are charming , simple in structure, and wearable in any situation. The heritage collection, besides containing classic creations like the Lavande, seem to be done with even more care than the regular line. I want to recommend Amande Persiane, by Delphine Jelk, and the carnation soap (I am secretly hoping for a return of their Oeillet edc !) A happy new year to everybody!
Here's my backstory on Almond Suede. I had a medical visit with Carlos' husband in August. I was considering getting Venice Rococco, but Carlos wrote me and said there was a new launch called Almond Suede, and I just knew. So I think I got the first bottle (to the public!). I love it. When I saw Carlos at ScentXPlore, we had a nice laugh over it. I like Grove by the Sea, but Almond Suede won 2024's trio.
Nice of a reviewer to make mention of female perfumers. I was struck that I seem to prefer female perfumers compositions as more than two thirds of the perfumes I own were created by women, which is quite astonishing as the majority of perfumers are still men
This is the perfume event of the year!
😃 Thanks very much indeed.

Oh my word, maybe that's TOO high a resolution! I'm not sure seeing every pore on my face is such a great thing.
Happiest of New Years, Mr. P!
Thank you -- the same to you.
Wonderful varied list and although I haven't tried any , it's always a treat listening to your take on your chosen ten . Here's to next year ! Happy New year to you and Madame persolaise .😊
Thanks very much, Angela. I hope you get to try some of them soon.
This is the best perfume channel! Happy New Year Mr. P.!
You're too kind, thank you.
Happy new year Mr P! 🎉
And the same to you!

Thanks very much for sharing your list. I think we could all do with being more mindful, right?
Your shirt and colour is fantastic. Very Indochine and Parisian.
That's very kind, thank you.
Stayed up until 2am to watch this. Didn't disappoint. Really want to try some Puente scents this coming year.
Oh wow -- thank you! And I hope you get to try some Puentes.
Happy new 2025 to you and your Mrs.!
Thank you for the full year of wonderful and intriguing reviews that have inspired me to venture and try some of them. What a joy!
The best list j’adore 🥰
Linden been one of my favorite notes Tilia for sure will be added to my collection !
Merci 🦄🦄🦄🥂🍾
Very, very kind of you - thank you.
All the best to you too.
Great reviews and wonderful content. I’m looking forward to a review of metallic scents.
Intriguing idea -- thank you.

Ah, that's helpful, thank you.
Hi, I also noticed that the audio is very soft compared to other videos.
Squeaky cap 🤣 so enjoyed the video 🥰 happy new year & thank you for all you do
Thank YOU for all the support.

Oooh, another film to add to the list.
Thanks for watching.
Nice shirt and nice list!
Thanks very much indeed.
Tilia was in my Top 3 this year (along with FdB Sirene and Sorce English Major). I’m always enamored by linden and Tilia is a spectacular composition.
Tilia seems to be on many people's lists.
Happy New Year Persolaise. Tilia was one of my hates this year, it ruined a dinner. 😊 My most loved discovery of 2024 was Spell 125 by Papillon. Not new, but new to me. And I greatly enjoyed Paris Patchouli from Guerlain.
I was taken with the Guerlain too.
Thanks for watching.
Was hoping to see Oranger Sirocco on the list! But glad to see its profile represented in Neroli Plein Sud.
I do really like OS too.
Many thanks for watching.
Thank you for the list! I also enjoy the neroli from Guerlain and Chyprelia from Puente. I think Philtre from Hiram Green is another good one, likewise Un bel Amour from PdE that you mention. Unfortunately Paddock isn't available anymore even in Paris, so it's completely gone.
Hermes seriously need to consider bringing Paddock back.
Thanks for watching.

Happy New Year 🎉🥳

Ha! A clown classic!
Thanks for watching.
This is the best shirt of 2024 ❤
Thanks very much ;-)
Hi mister P👋🏼 did you smell Arquiste A grove by the sea? I am quiet curious to smell it!
Yes, here you go: persolaise.com/2024/07/louis-vuitton-lovers-les-indemodables-oranger-sirocco-arquiste-a-grove-by-the-sea-and-other-reviews-2024.html
@ thank you 🙏🏻🤩

Thanks very much for this. I really love their soaps.
@@Persolaise so do I. Whenever I travel I take one with me and every hotel bathroom smells divine as soon as I unpack it.
Almond Suede...love it but for me its too persistent...I can only wear it on my wrists as it can get "too evident" for me..its so potent.
Ah, interesting. It is pretty strong.
As a filthy rose, how does La Bague d'O compare to Akro Night?
The Akro relies quite a lot on cumin. La Bague D'O goes more boudoir-powdery.

Brilliant story! Thanks for sharing. And yes, Almond Suede is my favourite of the three as well.
Tilia is on my list. I went with Tuberose Astrale, but Tilia is going to go home with me at some point.
Glad to read this.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤thank u
Thanks for watching.

That is quite something.
Thanks very much for watching.
How about this top 10 awards title: The Spritzies.
Ha! Good one!
Big fan of Arquiste.
Wishing you and Lady Persolaise the very happiest of New Year.
Thank you so much. All the best to you too.
Un Bel Amour d’Été has been criminally ignored.
I was very, very impressed with it.
Thanks for watching.
I propose “The Perso-Accolades”
Brilliant!
❤
Thanks for watching.
