Persolaise with Amouage's Christopher Chong - live interview feat. Rose Incense & Love Mimosa part 2

- This is part 2 (of 2) of a UA-cam live video streamed from the Amouage boutique in London on 21st June 2019. As usual: completely unscripted and unrehearsed. It features me in conversation with Christopher Chong, the long-standing Creative Director of Amouage who leaves his post at the end of the month.
When Christopher announced his departure, I asked if he’d like to mark the event with a live video on my channel, but the initial response he gave was somewhat non-committal, so I didn’t push the issue. However, when I arrived at the boutique for a meeting with him, I was surprised and delighted to hear him say that he wanted to broadcast a live video there and then. Unfortunately, I wasn’t as prepared as I’d have liked (no microphone, no lights, no wifi) but I didn’t want those barriers to stand in the way, so I just sat him down in front of my iPhone, crossed my fingers that the tech wouldn’t let us down... and off we went!
Thank goodness, quite a few people tuned in to the live stream (even though it was completely unannounced) and joined in the conversation with some excellent questions and observations. To them: a massive vote of thanks!
Sadly, the gadget gremlins had to make their presence felt at least once, which is why this video has been split into two parts. At around the 35-minute mark of part 1, we lost our UA-cam connection and had to stop and resume. But never mind: as I’ve said here before, a video with a few issues is better than no video at all, so I hope you enjoy watching it.
As I type these words, the facility to replay the live chat is still available on both videos, so you can read the contributions of the viewers as they were made.

Amir Pi Thanks for writing, Amir. It’s always great to hear from you 😊
Great video. thank you👍🏻
tovli rami Thank YOU for watching 🙏
Ps. would be great to know more about Overture,thx already
Amir Pi Yes! I’ve still got the bottle in my study, unopened! I need to set a date for the next Love At First Scent so I can open it and smell it.
Only the last few minutes were bungled. Starting when Christoper began explaining why his scents got so weird
Mikeaveli2682 Yes, most annoying! But at least the stream worked the rest of the time. Thanks very much for watching 😊
Overture!! I need to know more about this!!
I plan to open it during my next episode of Love At First Scent. Stay tuned...
Performance of fragrances went down a lot during his tenure. Also the compositions, before 2014 every scent was a masterpiece even if I did not enjoy a few. After 2014 lasting power and complexity went down overall, a real shame. I am referring to the main line and the garden collection, I have not tried Opus yet. I hope Amouage goes back to its roots of strong high quality scents. Also, the Attars Homage, Tribute, Rose which are beautiful.
Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to write.
I adore many of the scents made during Mr Chong’s time. But I realise that not everyone feels the same.
