Civet by zoologist is a fabulous old fashioned pissy floral that I will eventually get a bottle of even though it’s totally not my style, because I can’t stop thinking about it.
Hi Monsieur Persolaise. Great to see your Valentine's post. Old world glamour sounds good to me. It's rare that I miss a live, dropped the ball, this time. 😀 Great to see the hyacinth in your fresh flower vase. Victoria Frolova quoted ?? paraphrasing, if left with very little money, buy loaves and "hyacinths to feed thy soul."
“Crass Aberrations” was the name of my high school punk band that I just dreamed up right now. Wonderful work as always. Not for the first time, I’ve had cause to marvel at how this channel seems too good to be true, and yet, here it is. Thank you.
Great theme, I am a confirmed romantic and happy about it so it is perfect! 😁 I was wondering if La Panthere could be considered like old school glamour and there you put it! Also I finally got to see your Eugen interview for Les Abstraits and it is indeed very fascinating. Lastly I don't think I have ever told you thank you for the time stamps on all your videos, it is nk practical. I watch them all in their entirety in the end but sometimes I just want to pick. Like some sented "tapas". That's my Spanish heritage speaking!
Catching later and comment added at the start. My picks are: - Tuxedo (elegant, sexy and a get closer scent) - Le Lion modern Mata Hari…(with a few more clothes) 😁
1932 EdP has a huge hole in the middle. Either that or I am completely anosmic to a whole section. I get the powdery & twinkling opening then after 30 minutes nothing. Two hours later I get whiffs of violet leaf
I guess 1932! Though I guessed either EDT or EDP. Was driving during the live stream and could not type it. And the person driving next to me probably wondered why I appeared to be talking to myself as I yelled "1932!" :) A wonderful old world glamour perfume. Perhaps of a slightly different variety which is why I like it, though could be why it seemed not to be as well received as others when released.
Mr. P., what a glorious list!! Some absolute favorites on there, with Dryad, Mont de Narcisse, Violette Volynka and the B683 Extrait! I greatly enjoyed this post, thank you!
Oh my, what a lovely selection! I really want to try some of Les Abstraits offerings. I tend to be hesitant with "UA-camr" fragrances, but I can't help but trust Eugen and to know you have given this one a stamp of approval helps put my mind at ease. As far as scents in this modern yet old-world glamour category that I have tried, I really enjoy Chypre Siam, Mousse Illuminée and Rostracto from Rogue Perfumes here in the US. The entire house really fits quite perfectly into this category - from chypres, fougeres and ambers, he does it all with a neo-vintage approach. The perfumer/founder, Manuel Cross, is doing beautiful things and is really gaining a lot of traction in the states.
Watching this late but have already bookmarked the video so I can easily reference it later because Old World Glamour is all I ever want in my favourite scents ♥️
Thank you for reminding me of the beautiful leather that is Mont de Narcisse! It was on my want-list for a long time and ordered today. It was very difficult to find so I fear discontinuation…
I actually like 1932 and have it in the perfume extrait, besides the EDP. But then again, I also really like 1957 much more than I thought I would. Of course Le Lion is also in the same category and no other words are needed.
You had me at the title 💖💖💖 I do have a wide range of perfumes, but the old world symphonic perfumes are the ones that transport me. So grateful for the artisans still creating this style in the era of miniscule attention spans. +1 for Dawn Spenser Hurwitz (DSHPerfumes). Her YSL tribute, "menagerie" of animalics, and Pandora using her take on a mousse de saxe base are brilliant. She has a huge collection that is difficult to navigate so I am sure there are others. The one downside of watching your channel Mr. P is you always introduce me to new scents I must have. Love Dryad and wished 31 Rue Cambon made the list! There are a few on your list I must try!
Darn, I missed the live but so enjoying the video, thank you! My first two thoughts were Night Flower by ERIS + Lace Draped Spectre by Solstice Scents. ❤️❤️ Also, as I think about it… Tolu!
🤣🤣🤣 wonderful Dariush! Why did you not compare Des Cendres to Après l'Ondée? We were already venturing into Guerlain territory and it is the only one of the three Abstraits that has not yet been compared to it!
For the ones who don't want to spend an arm and a leg to enjoy retro glam, go and look into some of the Agent Provocateurs. I am thinking of the original Agent Provocateur, Miss AP, and Maitresse. And since we are all so much into the comparison thing, lets detoxify us all from the recent obsession of comparing everything and anything to an old Guerlain! The perfumes I have mentioned reflect a rougher Germaine Cellier or Jean Carles territory, if one would have to compare them at all. Besides guys, how about Caron, Lelong, Piver, Raffin, Lubin, Coudray, Coty, D'Albret, Floris, Maurer and Wirtz, Prince Matchabelli etc, etc, etc, for a comparison!?!
My favorite classic smelling perfume (it smells like old Hollywood and film noire) is Jasmin et Cigarette by Etat Libre d’orange. It is a shame that is doesn’t last long but it is gorgeous
I love Dryad! However I love and have all of Liz Moore’s perfumes with the exception of Spell No. 25. Liz Moore’s is an awesome perfumer, at least in my opinion.
@@nastyfyme It's hard to pick one. I love Salome, Bengale Rouge, Hera, Dryad, Tobacco Rose, Angelique (which seems to get the least amount of love) and of course Anubis, which was the first one I bought. It would be hard to pick just one, which is why I have most of them except for Spell 25, although eventually I will most likely buy that one as well.
@@nastyfyme Hera is beautiful, but the most expensive of all her perfumes. However, they are all beautiful and you wouldn’t go wrong with any of your choices. I still have a special love for Salome..
I really loved this ep. The older I get, the more attached I become to the grand chypres of yore, and the more I seek out contemporary perfumers who make retro scents in a modern vein. I'll second the folks who mentioned Zoologist Civet and Sacred Scarab. Both fantastic modern chypres that harken back while adding something surprising to the genre.
Yes, symphonic perfumes describes quite well my feeling also about those treasures of the past. I am quite taken with Les Abstraits Des Cendres and in a way it reminds me of an even darker, greener and earthier Tom Ford Italian Cypress that I also love! Great episode and great selection Mr. P. I have to get my nose on Dryad. 🙏
Dryad is the most complex parfume I have ever sniffed. I like the decant I have. But I don't think it has any sillage or projection at least for 1-2 hours. What do you think?
Civet by zoologist is a fabulous old fashioned pissy floral that I will eventually get a bottle of even though it’s totally not my style, because I can’t stop thinking about it.
I should check it out. Thank you.
YES! 🐈
Civet's dry down is stunning!
My favourite house! I love civet ❤ The other old world ( old Hollywood maybe) scent from them is nightingale (to my nose).
OMG you talk about original Femme by rochas one of my vintage secret gem ♥️♥️♥️
It’s great, isn’t it.

Wonderful advice -- flowers are such precious gifts.

You’re too kind, John. And I would have listened to that band 😂
Oh no I missed the live … but at least I can look at it now midnight time ..selfishly as everyone asleep mood :) 😊
Thanks for watching.
Eugine´s Les Abstraits for the win !!!!
Thanks for watching.

Fascinating. I love reading about all these different responses.
Congratulations on your twentieth anniversary of your blog. I actually own 1932 even though I actually do like 1957.
I do not have the diamonds but I do have the smaller bottle of both 1932 and 1957. In any event, I would enjoy the voyage back to either year!
Thanks… but I’m afraid my blog isn’t 20 years old. If I said it is in the video, then I made a mistake.
Mont de Narcisse reminded me of Le Lion de Chanel ! Funny as it may sound.
Ah interesting. I’ll re-smell it with that in mind.

Nightingale from zoologist is a gorgeous old fashioned mossy chypre 💕💚
Ah, good to know, thank you.
@@Persolaise Mr P. you really should put your nose on Zoologist's menagerie 😊
Mr. P., what a glorious list!! Some absolute favorites on there, with Dryad, Mont de Narcisse, Violette Volynka and the B683 Extrait!

What a great video Dariush! I loved every moment.! Thank you!
This was an awesome video!

I missed the live but liked it even before watching simply because you included night flower ❤
Thanks very much indeed.
Of course we’re all romantics! Thanks for another Valentines video ❤❤❤
Thank YOU for watching.
I love your Valentines lists!
Thank you 🙏
I fell in love with La Panthere at first sniff. ❤
Me too.

I'm glad we were on the same wavelength with Eris.
THANK YOU PERSOLAISE! Keep the videos coming!
Thanks for the support.
Salome also by Papillon. Love it!!
Good suggestion, thank you.
Great vid 👍🏼
Been a long time but I hope to catch a live soon!
Thank you Mr. P 😊
Thanks for watching, Dave.
🤣🤣🤣 wonderful Dariush! Why did you not compare Des Cendres to Après l'Ondée? We were already venturing into Guerlain territory and it is the only one of the three Abstraits that has not yet been compared to it!
Really? Well, no, for what it's worth, Des Cendres didn't make me think of Al'O.

@@Persolaise Love to the Cheerleader! 😉
I love the fact that you are a grandfather (I wouldn't have guessed).
I love it too 😉
Oh! Also Tea Tonique by Miller Harris!
Thank you.
Great theme for a list!
Thank you.

I love that one too. Thanks for watching.
@15:58 "grandma cells" 😂
Sounds like a British tabloid headline for an investigation into those older age Japanese prisons 😂
Oh dear!
I love Dryad! However I love and have all of Liz Moore’s perfumes with the exception of Spell No. 25. Liz Moore’s is an awesome perfumer, at least in my opinion.
She really is very talented.
Phyllis, yes she is! Which one is your favorite? I am getting a 10ml decant of Anubis soon 😁 the seller said it is sooo arid that it hurt her throat 🫣

ahhh I missed the live! its the perfect theme as im in an old world glamour mood, I've been diving into my old carons
Oh wow, enjoy them!
Awesome List and video
Thank you.

I guess I’ll have to track down Civet.

I've always found it to project very well.
Thanks for watching.
I do not have any of these 😔. I have La Panther the first one make by Alberto Morillas
Ah, the original one? How wonderful.
hi mr p! just a quick question, will a perfume go bad if it stays unopened?
have an extra roaring radcliff and i'm thinking of keeping it 🤣
If you keep it in a relatively cool, dark place, it should stay fine for years and years.
@@Persolaise thankyou mr p!
Can anybody tell me smth about Scent from Theo Fennell? How is it? Please Brits! Help! 😊
Natalia, that's a much-missed piece of work. Spicy, dark, animalic -- really quite striking.
@@Persolaise thank you Mr. P ❤️
And is it really possible to be old world glamorous and not by default also be feline? I think not.
Good point.
