@@jeremygreen2439 hello Jeremy! Thank you very much :) They are incredibly similar. Hmmm if I was to nitpick, to my nose EdPR (the concentrated version) is more pithy and sour grapefruit where VP edp smells juicier. VP also has a peppery nuance from the vetiver missing in the other. It’s weird, for me peppery can give a slight watery sensation. Might be adding to the juiciness? If you’re familiar with Rose & Cuir from Frederic Malle, the rose in that I can find lurking softly in EdPR. Which makes sense because both are Jean Claude Ellena creations. It’s a sunny, airy, light, joyful feeling with this one. VP is a hair more somber from the vetiver. I’ll be honest VP edp I prefer. It’s a truer grapefruit. It’s stunning af and my eyes truly roll back.

@@expansefloating4096 Thank you! You've described them both so gorgeously that I think I'm going to have to get both! Have you ever put a nose to Johann Maria Frina 1709? Perhaps the original EDC, it is the juicest truest orange-citurs fragrance. It's so bright and refreshing and has a sort of rainy background note that is so compelling.

@@justaddlight hello :) Yes it’s incredible for layering! With other citruses, florals, greens, woods, even to sober up fruity scents that are too sweet. I use Molecule 03 (also vetiver based) in a very similar way. Interesting how you get mandarin in the edp! If this is the case you’ll probably register the elixir as more similar to the edp than I do. Although it really is missing that unmistakable grapefruit twang of the original version which makes it so satisfying.

@@justaddlight it is spicier but I swear there’s some similarity there to BP. Maybe I’m crazy 🤪

@@mdkOFFICIAL-oe4br hello, to my nose no 19 has a bit more aldehydic sparkle and aroma texture than Silences, which can be perceived by the nose as higher quality. The edt is also brighter, sharper and greener. Other than that they are the exact same profile :) Those who know 19 would likely think you were wearing it if you were wearing Silences.

@@fragrancememoir2350 thank you for the compliment!

Glad to come across another fan of this dna! Interesting that you find SJ sweet! To me it’s bitter af! Definitely agree with you it’s more aquaeous. I wonder if it’s those florals that are rounding out PCL and making it more of a gentle experience. But it does come off more perfume-y than SJ. Splitting hairs though!

Thanks for watching :)

@@Dennis-rl6te I hope you enjoy it! 💕

@@TineTorgrimsen I’d like to explore more from this brand. I believe Pink Molecule is their most popular.

Do you know much about their other perfumes?

@@randallland6739 hello Randall, I am unfamiliar with the Speed Stick body spray so I can’t answer that. I don’t think there is a clone of this either because it is quite obscure. But if you search on google “J Peterman 1903 perfume oil” you might find something :)

@@0MsBlueberry0 hello Ms. Blueberry, This is absolutely gender neutral. It’s very much sterile, clean clothes. Nothing masculine or feminine about it. I’m not sure what country you are in but a perfume that is similar you might be able to obtain is Royal Musk from Al Haramain. That one is a touch more floral but 90% alike at least to me. If someone smelled this on you they’d assume you had your clothes freshly ironed that morning. It’s that starchy clean smell. Dry. Hope that helps :)

​@@expansefloating4096You have a wealth of perfume knowledge, this is so amazing! Again, royal musk is not available in New Zealand, however my mother might be able to purchase it on her way over here. Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me about a comparative scent I might like.

I’m not sure exactly, that’s the way it came. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@expansefloating4096 where'd you buy from? I got a bottle from Jomashop that came with a solid black cap but outside of our 2 bottles I don't think I've seen it with a solid black cap before. Mine also does not have the CD (Christian Dior) logo on the top of the cap. Wonder if yours is the same? For what it's worth I've smelled the real deal before and what I have smells identical, I enjoy it immensely and it lasts for a very long time.

Are you sure if this is not fake? Mine came with similar solid black cap, not with CD logo. Just wanna make sure if this is only a batch variation not fake since i have the same bottle.

Very interesting insight! Thanks a lot for the information.

@@TheTurnerBot hello, sorry for the late reply. I do believe this is the same perfume but in different packaging :) the note profile from my memory is exactly the same as this new wood-encased bottle.

@@ibg4016 I love both of those! Far superior grapefruit perfumes.

@@Knoxy598 glad you’re enjoying your time here :) mmhmm they’ve definitely been bled out of the delicious galbanum which makes Cristalle magic, and provides much of that understated sex appeal you mentioned. Especially in the edt it needs it badly because the profile is light enough as it is. Such a shame! Now neither concentration is as unique. Still very pretty though.

It’s gorgeous! You’ve got to try it. I agree Biarritz is so-so. I mean I liked it but it wasn’t anything special, and quite weak. Paris-Edimbourg is really good too btw.

Yeah it’s a good one. Very summer appropriate. It would scratch your itch I’m sure. Are there any pre Hermes JCE’s you are into? The only other one I know of and of course like is Eau de Campagne.

I’ve been itching to try Eau de Campagne but I haven’t. Same goes for Declaration from Cartier. The only JCE pre-Hermes I have are Eau The Verte from Bulgari and L’Eau d’Ambre Extreme from L’Artisan. Both beautiful! I’ve always liked Ambre Extreme but I’ve never really given it the proper wearing until just recently and it turned out to be so much better than I thought for a classic amber.

It’s not at all amber. I’ve noticed this happen a lot, perfumes getting classified as ____ amber and it’s nothing at all resinous or amber-like. Don’t know what he’s smoking. Yeah I do not like melon either (except in a couple chypres where it’s just giving fruitiness). Have been thinking about Muguet Porcelaine from Hermes which some say has a melon aroma. Because it’s Hermes I’m willing to give it a try ;3

Nice! That’s an excellent duration. Yup it could’ve just been my batch, who knows.

Hi Ahmet, I am currently enjoying so far this summer Mind Energy, DKNY Women, Fiero, and Abdul Kareem Egyptian Musk. All are fresh.

@@expansefloating4096 Thank you!

Hi Lorvina, so sorry! I just mentioned it in my recent video, Aura Maris by Lorenzo Villoresi. I will try to get a dedicated video uploaded for ya.

@@expansefloating4096 Sounds promising, but the price difference is quite something unfortunately.

I could see how it would really click with certain people! It’s unique. Glad you see its beauty. By the way I recently sampled Mito voile d’extrait by Vero Profumo, and it smells a lot like Eden. In my opinion. You might like it :)

Hello! They are all very fresh to begin with. I would say in this lineup gin & tonic from art de parfum might fit your bill the best. It’s realistic to me and fresh as fuck. But if an important part of the realism for you is the boozy metallic alcohol smell found in a cocktail, it doesn’t have that. In which case I’d go for Gin Fizz or GFS. Gin Fizz is very realistic, GFS a tad more abstract.

Thanks for the 411 :) I’ll make sure to check into it in that case since it’s similar to Sport 🩵 glad you enjoyed it

Sorry for the late reply! Flowerhead is great! I’ve been thinking of getting a travel size. That or La Tulipe. I’ve got to try carnal flower again because people say it’s a green tuberose, which appeals to me. Glad to hear you like it :)

@@expansefloating4096 yessss La Tulipe is amazing too! I don’t have a full size bottle of it but it’s on my wish list.

😂 actually it’s one of the dressing rooms at my local Nordstrom’s! At this point they don’t call security anymore. Let me take whatever I need off the counter, they’re so sweet to me. 💗

@@expansefloating4096 Ahhh😃 That's friggin awesome. Have you gotten a chance to meet Kathy or the boys yet? Such a nice family. She got up and spoke at my uncles funeral a few years back up in Port Townsend, and the boys visit all the various Nordstroms across the country on a regular basis. I really like that about them. Maybe you could be one of their buyers for their fragrance department, or something? That would be a fun job I bet.

Good to know! I haven’t thoroughly experimented with Aventus. I have used Aventus dupes like CDNiM :)

I’ll need to re-watch your cherry blossom video because my pink perfume collection needs one! I don’t blame you about not pulling the trigger, it’s extremely extremely expensive!! 💀 🔪 I think I had to get myself high on Tylenol pm one night in order to have the courage to finally snag it.

@@expansefloating4096 Lol you did not I love it! Btw Guerlain LPRN Rose Cherry is sweet and easy and pink and still available, at a less than high to buy price 😁😁😁

It’s the best ;3

Isn’t it great? I love the way it smells too. Green, peppery, energizing. A lot of times synthetic smells better honestly. Although when it comes to vetiver naturals, the Vetiverol ex Vetiver Haiti oil is gorgeous. Glad you were able to find a vetiver that works for you; must be hard though because it’s in everything!

Excellent choices! I’ve been thinking of looking into Young Rose again. It has similarity to Izia (not identical at all though). It doesn’t get enough hype, everyone seems to go for Rose of No Mans Land. Didn’t care for it, have you tried? Diptyque is just all around good with Rose. I’ll have to check out 125th and Bloom.

@@expansefloating4096 Def check out 125th and Bloom, to my nose it smells like a fresh green rose with smoky tobacco notes. I have Rose of No Mans Land too but I think it vibes more in the cooler months for me. How do you feel about Rose Atlantic by DS and Durga?

Sorry for the late reply! Thank you Kelly I appreciate it :) I have wondered what kind of materials they are using for the old fashion peach notes because like you, they aren’t appealing to me. Or at the very least they get lost in the composition to my nose. Thank you so much for the recommendation I will look into that house and Beulah specifically. I also came across a nice peach very recently in Gardenia by Elizabeth Taylor.

I’m glad you like it :) yes it’s an odd one. That combo of melon milk, floral green and pepper is just.. nothing you really come across. I feel like people who like doll head perfumes would enjoy Eden bc of the shared plasticy undercurrent. You know it does have something cooling about it (vs warm) so I can see how it would shine in cold weather too.

Hello Kelly :) great to have a Wendi watcher here 🎀 she’s fab. Hope you enjoy your time

Nice find! Should last forever at that size, which is good because it’s such an easy reach type of perfume. Let me know what you think :)

Thank you Betty :) glad to hear

The cologne is unique! I find it has this mentholated tone which appeals to me in general. You inspired me to find my sample and play with it some more.

Sorry you were another one of its victims :’( it really is not at all what it seems by the name

It’s a weird one. Definitely a love or hate kind of perfume. Sorry it wasn’t your thing.

You know that is true, I believe Ouch110 said the same thing. That Chanel dna. I especially noticed it in beige, 1957, 1932, misia to an extent.. but I won’t complain because I like aldehydes :3 some of them had that soapy aldehydic quality as well like 1922 and Bois des Iles. Oh my god don’t even get me started on their prices!!! It disgusts me to my core. Shame on you Chanel.
