Great selection of new perfumes! I recently bought Sketch as well and I love it! Perfect for the season now. My package with the two Serge Lutens you mentioned is already waiting to be picked up at the post office, I am excited to smell those since it was a blind buy for me but I guess I can work with these 2 in any case 😂
High yield haul. I agree with all of your points about the Dior Homme line. Dior Homme silver stem is the pinnacle of post 2000 designer perfumery. Sadly it is becoming a unicorn on the secondary market. Dior Homme Original is a cost effective alternative. You convinced me to suck it up and buy the current formulation of Amber Sultan sold by discounters.I’ve been sitting on a decant of the current formulation for 2yrs, which I love. sadly older formulations are becoming too hard/ or $$$ to purchase.
Man I struggle with Dior Homme Parfum. I enjoy the scent, but I straight up don’t know when to wear it. Every time I wear it, it feels out of place. Bel Ami Vetiver however I LOVE, one of the best purchases I made last year that I didn’t really wear much until this year. I find it to be quite warm, gentlemanly, cozy and inviting. I struggled at first with it as well. Now a year later when I can actually get some more wears in I really enjoy it quite a bit. Thank you for sharing some of your thoughts and Merry Christmas!
DHP is a winner for me. I wore Valentino Uomo Intense for a while, but the vanilla became cloying and synthetic to my nose. DHP is so much smoother, and I personally enjoy the dark sweetness of the fragrance. Even as a collector's item, I'm glad to have had it before the 2025 version takes over.
In my experience Guerlain does a great job keeping the smell exactly the same even through bottle/name changes. Unfortunately the same can't be said for the price! 😂
I got Pourpre d’automne as well during that sale !! I absolutely agree that It’s quintessential old school violet, at least in my mind it’s the baroque version of violet. Compared to the industrial cyberpunk violet in Iris 39 and obscure cashmeran heavy Dans Tes Bras. However, I still prefer Iris 39.
i feel the same ... no need for such a hype of DHP .. .i have also the new 2020 version which is good but not the greatest designer thing ever. .. you have similar collection like mine - Bel Ami Vetiver, Serge Lutens etc ....
Great video! Wearing Ambre Sultan today and it’s just so perfect, not too sweet but still warming and a little bit spiritual. A video about scent and colour is a great idea, most of the time when a perfume smells pink I can’t take it, so I was relieved that Eau de Magnolia smells like the pink and white petals, the leafs and the wood all at once for example :D
I love listening to you! ♥️💖❤️🙏🏼♥️💖❤️
Thank you!

Nice! Hope you enjoy the Lutens!
Awesome haul!

Love to see a 2024 pick up round up?
Planning on it!
Nice spinny thingy on your candle 🕯️ ⭐✨⭐

On my buy list: Spiriteuse double vanille, but I don't trust the new version. Serge Chergui and 5 o'clock au gingembre

Nice! Love the Ambre Sultan scent memory. What did you switch to in Miami? Did you do 1 for the trip or mix it up?
Impressed by how long the carousel is spinning. I can never get mine to spin so I never bought another one.
Haha, I noticed it works better as the candle burns down, when it was new it didn't spin much.

Yay good score! I love your description!

The colours I would love to hear your thoughts about scent matches for would be black, white and maybe the translucent yellow-white colour of sun rays
Thank you! Yea Ambre Sultan's greatness is in the way it gets exerything just right, so well balanced!
Dhp differs too much from the “dna” and is very average. Sold my bottle a month after purchasing and never looked back.
Yea we'll see, mine is on probation. 😂 I enjoy wearing it but I have a lot better things in my collection.
@ 😅😅I have a feeling I know how this story goes.
