It's good to have you back after your break. The grape is a fine way to start the year. I quite like the Pink one too, it is very pleasant and yea not quite LDBS. Great choice for your bday month 😉. March was a good choice. It was a nice one that Etui Noir. Pub next to a fire would be good at the moment. April an interesting choice. That one is OK tho I've not clicked hugely with Atelier. May, a very fine month 😉. LL was a very wonderful buy. It is absolutely gorgeous isn't it. You'll have smelt fab all month. Oh yes June, you're very posh Dior 😉 it's a pleasant one but weirdly I didn't hugely love that one when I really should have. Aye June and September were very warm. Your win does sound like a pleasant one 😊. August and A Drop is a lovely choice, shame about the ankle. But yes it's a lovely fresh lilac. And September you smelt very blooming good 😍 Coco is so very good. Yea you do love GG it wasn't a bad one at all that one. And yea gender marketing is ridiculous. Gucci certainly have had the more interesting ones. Nov what a grim month. And your Nina one is nice, very easy and pleasant. One of the first I'd tried from you. It was a surprise Ah December... So grim too. And yes the Rouge is a lovely one and you'd have smelt great at your Xmas thing. A very fine smelling year. I have no idea what I wear 🤣 I'd say AH Chanel is probably my most worn cos I don't love it and it's so easy to throw on

I love joining you on these fragrance explorations-- your approach is so idiosyncratic, so full of character and your content goes entirely against the grain of all the generic, trend-based templates your peers in frag com all seem to follow. Your orientation towards studying detail and your being so self-propelling when it comes to really creative analysis is fascinating, so engaging. I'm a very curious person so your approach is right up my alley. I have a question for you, one I'm genuinely curious about your answer to: What are your 'kryptonite notes'; notes and accords which on paper look like an olfactory nightmare you'll want to avoid? In each of your least favourite fragrance categories/most disliked note 'realms', have you come across fragrances that you fell in love with, feeling startled and delighted to discover that the fragrance you adore features those 'kryptonite notes' (or transcended the category entirely for you, emerging as a one-off unicorn in an otherwise unvisited scentscape)? I hope this clunky phrasing makes sense. In other words, I'm asking which fragrances do you love despite how they read on paper ingredients-wise? Which fragrances do you love despite not really enjoying the genre? I find note pyramids enormously misleading and tend to try as much as I can. This is how I discovered Sir Galahad by Isabey. I DESPISE big white florals but this one has a DOUBLE hit of gardenia in both top AND heart! And I love it. So there you go. I'd really enjoy hearing an in depth talk about the fragrances which knocked your presumptions or hesitations right out of the stadium and made you fall madly in adoration of those so-called 'kryptonite notes'. PS= Happy to have found your channel and am currently going through your back catalogue of videos.
@dr.claire.perfume
4 ай бұрын
Thanks ❤️ I'm happy that you are enjoying the videos! 😊 The notes I tend to avoid are peach, apple, iso E super, saffron (when plasticky), neroli (when like over cleaner). Peach: lots have surprised me, I tend to really hate powdery peach with amber vanillas, but I absolutely love some fragrances with peach listed. I do enjoy them. Ones that spring to mind as loves are One Way Bridge Pitching Woo, Mabelle o'Rama Forbidden Bloom. Apple is trickier, I don't think I've found anything with prominent apple that I've really loved. 🤔 I don't really like fresh apple but cooked apple and floral apple blossom as somehow slightly worse to me. Iso E super, err, I can sometimes tolerate it when I notice it, but generally if I do notice it, I don't want to wear it. I think the best uses of it are where I can't smell it. That's really how that molecule was designed to be used, simply as umph. Saffron, well as long as it's not plasticky, it's good. So that means most Lattafa is out. I think probably Decadence and also a very cheap &other stories fragrance, sardonyx fire spring to mind, but I know I've like lots of saffron fragrances in the past they just aren't spring to mind. And same with neroli, if it doesn't smell like cleaner, I will probably not mind it. 🥰

@@dr.claire.perfume That's a great start, thanks for understanding and answering my questions, a rare delight online. Thanks for giving me some handy background information so that going forward in my watching of your videos, I'll have some solid groundwork in understanding your tastes and dislikes. I know exactly what you mean when it comes to aromachemicals, apple notes, saffron and peach. Saffron reads very metallic on my skin and can destroy and overpower a composition terribly. Apple mixed with generous doses of many traditionally 'masculine-leaning' aromachemicals makes me nauseous too. The cooked apple/crisp fresh apple distinction you made was fascinating as I'm currently enjoying a veritable festival of fragrances which have a stewed, spiced apple vibe and for me, it's fresh apple that always turns out horribly (same as honey in so many cases; it never smells as I hoped it would). I find people's tastes fascinating for hundreds of further intriguing reasons. Love your channel, hope you have a super weekend. ☺👍

Oh really?! Wow! It's so strong! I've been loving it!!! 💜 Thank you 😊 Issey Miyake drop d'issey is very laid back and shower fresh. The Eau flanker (the blue one) is quite pleasant too, but I think I prefer the original. I have been ill since I last spoke to you. All over Christmas! I am on antibiotics right now but only two more days. I can't wait to be able to smell things properly again! I did try Gucci II the other day but I need to just try it again because I was still not really smelling much. Thanks for the samples ☺️ I'm looking forward to myrrh assoluto!

Hi Claire, it's me again! Great idea; maybe I should keep a spreadsheet too. That bag of empties looks massive. I love Lolita Lempicka. The L’Original version (the one I have) is close to the original but has more sweet cherry🍒 to my nose. I need to try the current LL. I can’t keep up with the flankers/rereleases of the original. I adore Coco too. Jasmine des Anges sounds amazing. I need to try it. Great seeing you today, and have a nice weekend.🙂

Thank you! Yes I know Lolita Lempicka are so confusing. I have had to stop myself trying all of the different versions... Someone sent me a sample of Eau de Minuit, I love that flanker! Jasmin des Anges is very pretty 😍 and Coco was an unexpected love. Keeping a spreadsheet is good because you can add to it wherever you are, it's more convenient than paper and it's easier as well to find your most worn, and least worn at the end of the year.

@@dr.claire.perfume I agree. There’s no point in trying all the different flankers because it’s just confusing. I picked up the cheapest one.

Hands down, in my paultry collection, MOLINARD FRUITEE VANILLE, AND KK PURE HONEY, top my list. Dr.Smith, I gifted myself; YES I AM *the Pink lipstick.Its the large size, and I love, love, love the bottle and sprayer. However, I don't know what to think of this fragrance😢. It's just an ordinary blend of some fruit/floral, meh for sure. Redeeming qualities........it has good longevity on clothing. The other BB was MOLINARD MUSC. Headscratcher😢. It's everything described by FG reviewers. I read before my purchase, but I anticipated SOME musk note...... nope. It's grape soda, patchouli, nag harbor vibe🤷. So, I'm learning to like it, I mixed it with vanille FRUITEE, not bad. I'm a very bad girl when it comes to BB buying, but these aren't offensive so they stay🤷. *Your lipstick is lovely on you, perfect neutral but not drab like I see too many people wear. Francine 🌹🙋

Hi Francine! And you! Happy new year! 🎉 Yes I would have predicted Pure Honey from what you've said. So is that a flanker? Delicious / Glorious / Bloom up? I haven't tried them, I have the original but I haven't worn it much recently. Molinard Musc sounds quite unexpected from the name, Molinard can sometimes be a little off beat in that the names are sometimes reflecting something secondary, but that sounds completely unrelated 😂 I've reduced my blind buying this last year a lot but I still do do it occasionally, sometimes it works out, sometimes if you want to try something it can be the only or most affordable way. That sounds absolutely crazy doesn't it?! And thanks! I tend to wear deeper colours for filming, my true nudes in real life, don't show up on camera 🤷♀️ I guess it's the ringlight.

My journey into fragrances has just begun into 2 months now. It is inspiring to listen to the description of each fragrances. I have a feeling that L'interdit rouge by Givenchy smells interesting but in the same time provocatively sexy and intellectual in the same time. I don't know if men can wear this. Some of the fragrances in June, July and August are also nicely described especially the one that gave you cotton airy feeling (can't remember the name). I think black orchid smells nicer than the velvet orchid imho.

I agree with you, black orchid is my favourite of the two and definitely one of my top 10, it's so distinctive! I guess with l'interdit Rouge, it's a case of personal taste, I know lots of people who don't really see certain notes as gendered. I guess perhaps try it in a store if you come across it. I love Jasmin des Anges (the cotton dress light airy one). Which is your favourite discovery so far, if you've only been into this two months, something must have started it? Is there a particularly special fragrance that got you interested? 🤔

Many years back i accidentally smelled the scent of Petite Cherie by Annick Goutal and i really quite like it, but i thought it was for women. So i bought Eau D’Hadrien instead. Then fast forward to pre covid era, i remember walked into Tom Ford store and the sales person offered me to smell tobacco vanille on a test strip. I was not into fragrances at that time so i did not buy them. But those smells of petite cherie and tobacco vanille had been etched deeply and subconsciously into my memory that they becoming difficult to forget. So finally i decided to buy them but then I noticed there are many other interesting smells too. My favourite interesting discovery so far are Ombre Leather Parfum , Baccarat Rouge 540 for the sillage, Hacivat by Nishane, Portait of a Lady amongst other. I am also watching youtube videos about fragrances. I found that your videos are quite interesting and i manage to watch some of them until the end even though they are usually longer than 10 minutes.

Should probably get that travel size! Btw I also did like you with reminiscence notes gourmandes and my fave is Guimauve for the special opening and very different (from the opening) dry down. It’s also fascinating how different it is from skin to clothes: on the former I get the marshmallow very quickly while on clothes it smells of Johnson’s baby wipes 😂

I like that I have 7ml but I don't think I need more. Guimauve to me is the most interesting of that line, it does seem to evolve more than the other two and it's not just a straight gourmand.

Hi Claire, Happy New Year to you and thank-you for all your wonderful videos and your unique & interesting fragrance content. I love it when your videos pop up on my feed- they are such a treat. I so much appreciate you and all the thoughtfulness and time that you put into each one of your videos . From your most worn perfumes I really want to get my nose on Wanted Girl. I love a good Amber floral. I also have my radar up looking for a good vintage bottle of Lolita Lempicka. I’d love to hear if you have any insights or tips on buying vintage, original stock bottles of perfume. I have had some great vintage stock finds, B-u-t I’ve also had my share of fails and I’ve wondered if I missed some red flags or signs that others would have known to avoid. All in all 2023 was the year of powdery perfumes for me. I just couldn’t seem to get enough of them. I put big dents in: -Loukhoum Eau Poudree (Keiko Mecheri) -No 19 Poudre (Chanel) -Venenum Kiss (Ex Nihilo) -Mon Guerlain (both the OG & intense) -Tsarina Intensivo (Ormonde Jayne) And -Cacao Porcelana (Atelier Materi) Another standout accord for me in the year was vanilla. In the past, I was never a fan of vanilla perfumes, but 2023 is the year that this changed and that I finally started loving the note. I owe the switch to two vanilla forward perfumes- Gentle Fluidity Gold (MFK) & Dama Bianca (Casamorati/Xerjoff), both of which I have worn a ton of in 2023. Lastly, in 2023 I’ve been exploring vetiver. I’m especially fond of wearing vetiver on rainy & foggy days. The ones that I reached for quite a lot in 2023 are: -Encre Noire A L’ Extreme (Lalique) -Living Lalique -Terre D’Hermes Vetiver Intense All the best to you in 2024.♥️

Wow! Thank you ❤️ that's such a lovely comment to leave! Wanted Girl (the original) was something that I never knew what my opinion on it was and it kept changing. It's certainly not a run of the mill fragrance of that type at all and it was a huge compliment getter. Wanted Girl by Night I seem to prefer to it but I would never call that fragrance complicated or sophisticated, it's simply a fun one! Same with me really with vintage, I bought what I thought might be a vintage Alien and it was an awful fake, but it was so bad that it was very easy to get my money back. 😊 Do you mean fakes or fragrances that no longer smell good or that aren't actually vintage but the modern formulation? Wow! I absolutely love no19 Poudre, I would love a bottle of that! It's a stunner! I also really love Mon Guerlain and Cacao porcelana but I do find that fragrance a little melancholic for some reason! It's so interesting though. I didn't try the Ex nihilo nor the Ormonde Jayne, I will add them to my lists to find to try! Haha! 2023 was for sure a yeah of vanilla with new releases! It was everywhere! But yes, I feel the same about vanilla, it has to have something interesting there too for me to be interested in the fragrance. And vetiver is very striking! That Lalique, along with many other Laliques, is a great fragrance for the price point. And the Hermes line gets a lot of love and appreciation too. I agree that vetiver fits rainy well. Happy new year 🎊 I hope you have a great 2024! Thanks for watching 🥰

@@dr.claire.perfume I only have the EDT as I had a sample of it beforehand 😄 but I wish I had bought the small bottles of the EDP & Parfum too. I would send you a decant of Nu but I can’t get the jus out without dismembering the bottle 😂😂 It has a built in atomiser, and if that wasn’t enough, it’s also fixed to one half of the outer casing. It’s the 2000s Opium but mintier, a little buttery and somewhat sweeter (but it’s a mature spicy/woody sweetness)

Oh no worries! The EDT sounds like it would be good, I kinda regret not buying it. I hovered, but I'd bought so much in spring that I didn't. It was inexpensive, I have no clue why I didn't. No worries about Nu, that sounds super complicated 🤣 can I ask, do you always take the atomiser top off to decant? I remember being super worried about how to decant fragrances to begin with, I worried about if I just sprayed them, would they lose their top notes as a result, but I've never bothered to get the fragrance direct from the tube so far, although I imagine that's better.

@@dr.claire.perfume I’ve only decanted once or twice but that’s how I do it. So not too sure about which method is correct 🫣

I think all work but I've always wondered! I don't know, I feel like making a video about how I do it, where I get the atomisers... Basic but kinda useful? I don't know! Maybe a short?! No clue!
