Episode 34 of Love At First Scent
This was a UA-cam Live broadcast streamed on Wednesday 10th July 2019. Unscripted. Unedited. Unrehearsed.
In this episode, I covered:
Jaipur Chant from Sana Jardin (at the start of the video)
Winter Palace from Memo (at the 17:30 minute mark)
Epupa Mon Amour from Ella K (at the 34:00 minute mark)
Orpheus Incarnate from Curionoir (at the 50:30 minute mark)
and the classic scent was
Fleur Du Male from Jean-Paul Gaultier (at the 43:30 minute mark)
There were also mentions of the Cire candle from Cire Trudon and the Casa Sul Lago candle from Acqua Di Parma (at the 29:30 minute mark).

Here's the blotter update:
Jaipur Chant has developed into a fairly predictably, but beautifully constructed tuberose, both tart and sweet, full of unshowy assertiveness.
Winter Palace has ended up as a safe, forgettable, musky vanilla.
Epupa Mon Amour is still heavily and overly reliant on synthetic sandalwood materials. Shame, really.
Orpheus Incarnate continues to play its carnation tune quite convincingly. I'm very taken with this one, but I wish it could be a touch louder.
Fleur Du Male remains a sunny, charming delight. All the life-affirming joys of orange blossom.

"the packaging is a bit over the top" says the man in that shirt, wow you gotta love this guy :)
Nestor Gillespie Fair comment 😂 ... although that is one of the more subtle shirts in my collection...
@@Persolaise hahaha. Well good for you, touché sir
Nestor Gillespie 😂 🙏
I hate when I get to the end of your videos I could listen to these in the background of my whole day while I’m not at work
Brace Raid Oh wow, what an amazing thing to say. Thank you 😀
I'm so glad UA-cam has a search function to find older reviews once I've encountered a perfume that you’ve mentioned. Recently, I've gotten into the Sana Jardin line--very legible and reliably lovely perfumes! I'm enjoying Jaipur Chant and Tiger By Her Side.
Also, as of this writing (Oct. 2023), the Ella K line is--finally!--easily available in the US, now at Luckyscent. I look forward to bookmarking your review and trying them out. Thanks for the great perfume content!
Ah, good to know, thank you.
Thank you so much!!🌺🙂 Your channel deserves minimum 100.000 subscribers!! Good luck!☘️☘️
Oh wow, thank you. But you know what: I'm happy with the number of subscribers I have right now, because you're all so friendly and knowledgeable and kind.
Enjoyed the show. Good to have you back on air. Liked the range you chose. Especially partial to Sana Jardins, even though I haven't tried this particular one.
Tina Pocha Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to write. Yes, I was pleased to be able to cover some slightly less well-known brands.
I agree 100% with you about Memo. It is interesting, stylish, but it has something of Egyptian pyramides ( maybe strictness ), that do not let me „enter“ in the soul ( essence) of Memo perfumes, feel it and maybe dream.
Yes, I think I know what you mean. Or maybe they're just not very complex.
I have one of the Ella K’s - Me’ moire De Daisen- in which was in a very good Harvey Nichols perfume discovery box . It’s an 8ml EDP and it’s a pretty rose scent . It wouldn’t set the world on fire but it’s very wearable to my nose .
I’d have to check my notes on that one.
Thanks for watching.
For anyone who’s looking for a similar scent to fleur du Male, check pure azure by Phaedon Paris as well. It’s less green than FDM but more sensual and musky
QGeorges Wonderful, thank you. I’ll have to check it out 😊
Fleur du male is great, but you know what I really loved was Fahrenheit 32 and that is now totally discontinued I’m so sad about that
Brace Raid Couldn’t agree more. I wore that so much! And you’ve just given me an idea for another classic scent for a future episode... 😉
Catching up! I know the Sana Jardin line a bit - oddly I found some a bit lacking in subtlety which seemed surprising in naturals. I’m not very familiar with natural perfumery so I’m not really sure why that is. I liked Tiger by her Side and Berber Blonde. I’m not often a Tuberose wearer but I like Altaia Tuberose in blue.
Thanks for watching, as always 😊
I’m pretty sure they’re not ‘all natural’ perfumes: they certainly don’t come across that way. I’d probably agree that there’s a certain hyper-legibility about them.
Always look forward to your insights on fragrances. I only have one Memo fragrance which I love: Tiger’s Nest.
Thank you so much for watching, Dennis. And yes, I like Tiger's Nest too.
In my opinion, the only replacement for Fleur du Male is Xerjoff's Oesel. A luxury 'knockoff' of Fleur du Male. I'd love to send Persolaise a sample for him to compare!
Some people say that the (also discontinued) Custo Barcelona Man (also from Francis Kurkdjian apparently) smells like it; I haven't had the opportunity to try, yet.
I’m intrigued!
Thanks for watching.
hoping you might reply to comments on old videos! :-) you mentioned around the 43:00 mark that penhaligon's did a trio of perfumes that were clones, one of portrait of a lady, one of black afgano, and one of ambre narguile, but that you didn't remember the names. any chance you're able to recall what they might have been? i've been doing some internet searches and not much is turning up.
I think this might be helpful 😉

Vintage antaeus is my scent of the day as well
Brace Raid Great choice 😉
Winter palace is really lovely but it has to be worn on skin. It does evolve but not without heat. Also, yes, ASMR please 🤣
Yes - skin is always best.
Thank you so much for watching.
Ella k is amazing amazing brand I have
Melodie de laltai this is amazing I have two in case 😅😅

Thanks for watching.
I watch from Cape Town South Africa by the way!
Wonderful, thank you 😊
Can you write the name of the candle mentioned - as per the cameo. 🙏
Liz Seville Trudon’s Cire?
Oh sorry just found it!!
Liz Seville No problem 😊
Love the Orpheus Incarnate scent and really appreciated your review of it. I saw this wonderful exhibition in Florence in 2015 called the Ascent of Orpheus which points to the light just like the perfume! This is the exhibition website: www.theascentoforpheus.org
Ah, thank you. I’ll check it out. And thanks for watching 😊
