Oh, Denise, I totally agree with you about those perfume samples!! Actually the companies had it right then to let you try first...today you have to pay for it and for me that's a complete turn off. I don't buy that perfume unless I return several times and use testers...but that's not satisfactory either. Countless times I was told that I'll get the samples with a purchase which I find ridiculous since I did/didn't buy it already. Also, and whats even worse is that the testers do NOT reflect the juice in the bottles bought....it's usually a reformulated version in the bought bottle😢.

Good morning, Claire. Thank you ! Such an interesting video ,which has compelled me to look back and review my perfume journey over the decades! Back in the 80s I was obsessed with green fragrances, which was not synchronized with what my friends were wearing. My favs were Crabtree and Evelyn Spring Rain ( many bottles and the powder!), Estée Lauder, Pleasures, and later (90s ) l’Occitane Verveine. For my wedding I wore Liz Claiborne Realities original, which was floral - bergamot, sage, and jasmine. And later Chanel Chance Tendre. I believe my preferences are more diverse - I enjoy vanilla ( YSL Black Opium, Le Parfume) and Chloe Nomade. I adored Courreges in Blue back in 90s too, and just acquired a vintage bottle. I still enjoy these old fragrances too, which are beautifully blended and complex in a vintage way.

At the risk of sounding extremely creepy, my fragrance history goes back to the 1960's (and I'm a male/not a vampire). Guys were wearing quite toxic brews like Hai Karate,Jade East,Canoe,English Leather,BRUT,and Aramis. If you didn't have much money it might be Aqua Velva,Mennen's or Old Spice aftershave. If you played in a R&R band you would kill for Habit Rouge (Keith Richards' fragrance we were told) but couldn't find any to buy even if you had the money. My favorite womens' fragrance from the 60's is/was Shalimar and Ambush. Yeah,baby! Those are the only ones I really knew. I did love LouLou as well.

The story in the time line is quite extensive with some references to popular culture. Nice touch. In the 80s or maybe early 90s, Drakkar Noir from Guy La Roche was the most popular fragrance for men in the world I guess or according to some. Didn't have enough money to buy it since I was a kid. It smells strong and very masculine. In the 90s till early 2000s I saw many CKs and Armani in departmental stores. I guess that era was the start of fresh, aquatic, oozonic kind of clean fragrances with some touch of woodines. Never bought any fragrances at that time but those were the smells I can remember. I don't like to be reminded of the year 1998 due to peak period of domination by Man Utd. But I do remember the iconic shape of Jean Paul Gaultier men's perfume when I first saw it in the Heathrow Airport. I didn't buy it cause I was not into perfume and the price was too expensive for me. Then in early 2000, I remember my consultant psychiatrist wore very nice smelling perfume. I asked her what she wore, she answered a perfume called Irish something. I cannot remember the full name until now and still searching for that particular perfume. In the 2000s, I'd noticed celebrity endorsed perfumes becaming a trend. From 2010's onward I believe the start of renaissance of the world of perfumery where we can see many niche houses established (spearheaded by Maison Francis Kurkdjian etc). I bought one bottle of rose perfume from L'Occitane for my girl friend as a birthday gift in 2014 back home, then I bought one bottle of Eau d' Hadrien for myself. It lasted for about 3 years and I bought it again in 2020 until 2 months ago when i started to explore more fragrances. Now I started to appreciate and discover more fragrances.

I am not sure I am a Dior expert honestly, but I guess it depends on pricepoint... I've gone towards their more expensive line lately as they reformulated most of the main line and I didn't find a love. It depends what kind of fragrance you like. My favourite this summer has been Jasmin des Anges which is a light girly apricotty musky jasmine. Autumn I'll probably wear more Gris Dior and Ambre Nuit, so a leathery rose chypre and a warm spiced musk.

Hi, Claire! Fabulous video as always!!! You never stop amazing me. Never! If I have to choose a year in perfumery that stands out for me that's 1996 when Dominique Ropion released my absolute fav Kenzo Jungle L'elephant. The same year he also released Aimez-moi (Caron). But when it cames to Dominique Ropion you can choose probably any year since he made La vie est belle, Alien, L'interdit, Soir de lune, Portrait of a lady, Olympea, Armani Code, Aqua di Gioia, Euphoria...I can go on 50 rows :)))) It.s interesting that Byredo has a perfume called 1996 but it s related to a picture :) Also 1996 is the year Davidoff Cool Water was released. I still have Kenzo Jungle and also from 1996 I have Versace The Dreamer (the best tobacco for summer days...sososososo cheap!!!). Beautiful video, Claire!!!!

Yes Western imperialism and war crimes... Things never change do they. I was very depressed that year. Quite a lefty student who did go on a march. The illusion of Democracy died that year for me. I don't remember many from that year, I'm sure I got Boss Soul but the dare of that seems wrong. I have no idea if it was hot 🤣 I would suspect lots of beer Gardens. 2008, the financial crash was quite good for my line of work 🙊 altho I did help many people thru the consequences of rich people stealing our money and us paying for it. The fragrances didn't seem too bad back then Insolence is of course beautiful. And Gordon Brown by far the best and only good PM in my entire lifetime. 2013, wow it makes me wish the Mayans were right about 2012. The world had got even worse. Intense Cafe wasn't my favourite. Ooo Gris Diors birth. I love that one and I do like Le Parfum. 2018 let's no comment on them "leaders". It was the year I started this old journey I believe. Ed Sheeran completely typifies the fragrance world, generic dross that all "coincidentally" smell the same. Princess was nice. And Cloud not so bad. Yea Flankers, cash cows and releasing things that would completely fail under the name of much better ones. Kayali I do appreciate. I know ur a big fan of Chloè Nomad.

Lol Jon 🤣 I'm happy you think I'm so young. Well if you can't remember Classique, I will bring my EDT for a visit. I think you will like it 😉 Haha, I'm not sure whether you tried my Touch or not actually, I don't remember sending you any. It was nuclear. So strong and lasted for days. I had a vintage bottle, it was so weird though that I did wear it a lot just to try to work it out. The only distinctive thing for me was the spicy chilli pepper, after that, it was all just a general impression of woodiness, florals and berries. The men's versions sounds nicer to me. 2003 was a big one, you a lefty 😱 no way! I remember lots of late nights at pubs and midnight strolls around parks. Yes I never thought of the crash as benefitting anyone's work before but I guess it did. Lots more people to help, although I also doubt that there were accompanying extra resources. Intense café I've warmed to, but I still way prefer siren and sailors, it's so much more interesting. I think a lot of people hate that Elie Saab, I guess it's divisive like a lot of good fragrances. And I'm wearing Nomade today! 😊

Hi Dr. Smith 🌹 Great video! Beast mode fragrances ruled decades ago, and we wore them to work. Today, we're way more cognizant of offending our coworkers. I wasn't the only one wearing Tresor! But I had my own office and only my clients, and attorneys were getting a sniff lol. My Supervisor heavily wore HALSTON, everyday 🤦. I just never understood the "signature scent" concept, plus......I simply really disliked the perfume. I recall a fellow Paralegal in my Department was kind enough to bring in her brand new bottle of CK's ETERNITY. We all tried it, and it was heavenly❤. I still wear YSL PARIS, but very sparingly, its a heavy hitter! Francine

I share an office with 6 others so I understand, but there's a level that is perfectly acceptable that I really don't mind. Trésor is a very distinctive fragrance. I had a vintage bottle and the musk really stands out. Eternity is very distinctive, I like the hot/cold thing that that fragrance has. I see why it did well and why it's still popular. YSL Paris I tried about a year or so ago in store and yes! Even the modern version is very strong! Thanks for watching 🥰

Ah this was such a comforting video 🙂 I'm 38 and live in the South West (England), so totally relate to all the trends you mention here. Agree the amount of flankers in designer houses is overwhelming now, for the last few years there are definitely more flankers than pillar releases. I've also noticed for the first time that niche houses are now doing flankers (BDK with their extraits, Nishane with their 10 year reimagined collection) which I've never heard of before. I think it's partly due to brands and consumers (via influencers) being able to communicate via social media so majorly now - before I reckon a brand wouldn't have been so acutely aware of people's critiques / desires, but now that social media has enabled this there seem to be pros and cons for brands (good they can get direct feedback, but must also influence directions more and then I guess that leads to the artistry of niche potentially being compromised). I'm super curious about what the next trends will be!
@dr.claire.perfume

That's such an interesting point Emma! I was aware of BDK Extraits and Nishane X but I hadn't really thought of those as flankers, but you are right... 🤔 this is new... I know BDK are not independent and are owned by a larger conglomerate, but I can't remember which. Nishane I thought was still independent though. 🤔 The aspect of feedback must be useful, but I agree, it's likely to compromise artistry. Taking risks are part of making something potentially amazing... thanks for watching 🥰

What a fab and interesting video, Claire! Love the nostalgic throwback to historic events in the UK and US, and the pop culture at that time. My memory is not so good but I’ll try my best to recall what I wore: 1993 (early teens) - I’d steal a sniff of Poison from my mom’s but I was only ever allowed Avon Sweet Honesty 😂. There was a long lull that I had to avoid scents due to allergies and sensitivity to strong scents. When finally I was fine to wear scents, I remember getting these: Salvatore Ferragamo Incanto, Burberry London, SJP Covet and Clinique Happy Heart (maybe 2007/2008?). JHAG Lady Vengeance and Lolita Lempicka came shortly after (maybe 2009/10). Annick Goutal Petite Cherie and Ralph Lauren Romance were my scents in 2011/2012 (the latter I won in a women’s magazine raffle draw). YSL Mon Paris, La Petite Robe Noir and Hermes Twilly were my memories of my first trips to France in 2017/18 (got them from Duty Free on the way to my destinations😆). Funny that I got BR540 in 2021 after smelling it in John Lewis in one of those eerily quiet shopping breaks during the pandemic. The scent kept me company during lockdown and made me fall in love with niche scents, and so it was a shocker to me that after offices re-opened, everyone seemed to be smelling of BR540 and its dupes! (Even the lifts!) I’m keeping whatever is left of my BR540 and have ventured further into my fragrance discoveries. Now I think I have enough variety and bottles to last me eight years or so, haha. This made me appreciate how scents indeed take us back to wonderful memories. As much as possible, I only buy and keep the ones that truly bring me joy. Have a great weekend!

Thank you! Wow! I remember loving Covet, so much so that I bought a bottle in 2020! It didn't smell like I remembered it though 🤔 Burberry London and Romance were very popular too! What a fragrance to win! I think fragrances being associated with holidays and special memories is a big things for a lot of people, the ones you buy on your way somewhere get associated with those places. BR540 definitely exploded over lockdown, I'm not exactly sure why, but yes! I remember watching those dupe comparison videos and wondering which to get 🤣 despite not loving BR540 🤷♀️ totally crazy 🤣 Thanks for watching 🥰

Omigoodness! That Classique mini, love it 😍. Such an interesting vid. In 1998, I was working in some dreary office and my colleague came in wearing Davidoff Cool Water. I was smitten. Since that day, I wore it to death and now it will always be in my collection. Rarely wear it now but cannot get rid of it because of the memories. And briefly before then, all my crowd of friends wore Calvin Klein, Escape, Eternity and CK One. Listening to Fast Love by George Michael. I love how perfume captures a point in time as much as music. This is brilliant 🙏🏽🌻

Thanks for all of your research for this video. I think nowadays with so many releases - it can be a bit overwhelming choosing a fragrance. In the ‘90’s I was just leaving uni and starting work and loved Eternity and Escape, I had money to buy them and was happy with them. I remember thinking owning two scents at the same time was a bit excessive and how would I get through them 😅. When growing up people were more faithful to their perfumes (probably because there were fewer choices), aunts were associated with ‘their’ scent. Choice is great but I do miss the old times a bit. Thanks again x

I don't know how if it is only nostalgia but I think there was a fragrance back then for each taste, be it floral, powdery, spicy, citrusy or what have you whereas I feel that nowadays there are two distinctive trends, either the very light aquatic florals or very heavy gourmand and not much in between which I find a little bit boring.

They are really hard to keep up with! 🤣 They keep releasing new ones! Again it depends what styles of fragrance that you enjoy, but I don't think anyone will like all of them. If you want lighter, go with musk, utopia or pistachio gelato, if you love sugary vanilla, they do seem to have a few covering that, so vanilla 28 and sugared patchouli. I'm really not a lover of Eden juicy apple but lots of people think that's a really fun one, it's sooo sweet for me. The new ouds I've not tried yet. I guess with Kayali, some are what I like, others not so much, but the same with any brand. I think my favourites are the amber and woods, so invite only and lovefest, but they are very much something you need to try to know. I like that they sell sample sets and have 10ml bottles, it makes them eaay to try. I hope that helps!

Now it seems like every house has to make their own version of whatever’s popular. Plus even the synthetic smelling perfumes smell better than they do now. Some modern perfumes actually smell poisonous to me nowadays with all the synthetic fixants and molecules!

Oh this video was a great idea Claire. I remember buying Dior Dune when it came out in the early nineties. Loved it. Another favourite of mine was YSL In Love Again from the late nineties. Tried looking for it the other day, but of course it’s discontinued, and any bottles still around are incredibly expensive. If we had known back then how fragrances would be discontinued after a short time or reformulated, we would have bought more for sure. Thanks again😃🇦🇺

Wow! There was a department store shutting down in my local city about 18 months ago and they pulled out all of their hidden fragrance stock, one of the things that they put out was in love again! And wow! I loved it! I went to try to buy it but they weirdly had put a tester out that they didn't have any new bottles left of 🤣 so I left without it... but at least I got to smell it... it was mmm! Thanks for watching 🥰

That's really good to read! I'm happy that you enjoyed this! I wonder why Gris Montaigne was reformulated and renamed? 🥰

Aah, I did it based on release years, so these were probably not in these years, I will probably do another version of this in 2024! Thanks for watching 🥰

Claire... We were not "all" watching Twilight. Never in all my life have I been subjected to such tedious guff 😅 and we know it's generally my genre... But no. I will enjot the video now 🤣🤣

I know you love Twilight really 🤣 especially R Patz and K Stew. I know you are just in public denial over it. 🤣
