Bonus episode of Love At First Scent.
This was a TH-cam Live broadcast streamed on Saturday 28th December 2024. Unscripted. Unedited. Unrehearsed.
In this episode, I answered questions from the live audience, while taking the opportunity to test a new software set-up. We covered several topics, including my thoughts on modern Guerlains, my favourite ice cream flavours and what meal I'd prepare if Madonna were to pop over for dinner!

Sorry i missed the live episodes today! Happy new year Mr. P! Thank you for all you do!
Thank YOU for all your support.
I hope some day you do a video featuring your favorite tobacco fragrances
Merry Christmas and happy new year🥳
That's a great idea, thank you.
No more sound quality issues and the video quality is excellent🎉
Thanks very much for letting me know.
Video quality is amazing in post production! You look even better Mr. P!! I missed the opportunity for questions…I am aiming for my second live tomorrow!
Thanks very much indeed!
The audio and resolution are both excellent Mr. P. 😊 I watched part of the live and now rewatching. Happy holidays!
Many thanks for letting me know.
When are you going to show us your perfume collection or perfume vault? 😅
Happy New Year Mr. P
Ha! Maybe one day... when it's not in an embarrassing state...
Hi,
So sorry I missed this live but thrilled with improved sound! Thank you so much for a wonderful year of delightful and informative conversation about perfume. You are a master sommelier of scent with the ability to create with language what you smell!
The first perfume my future and now 5 decades later and still dearest one gave me was Rochas Femme. I loved it and have vintage bottles of it-there have been so many reformulations.
I have never heard you mention Femme and would love to know your thoughts about it.
Wishing you a very Happy, Healthy and Auspicious New Year!
Thanks very much indeed.
I love original Femme and I think I have a few drops somewhere. Absolutely perfect chypre.
On the technical side, I should also note that this is the first live session that was not interrupted by a single piece of advertisement. I typically get ads every 5/10 minutes. (Or did TH-cam decide to have mercy on viewers during the holidays?)
I had even more ads but I watched after the live! It was noticeable!
Interesting. I’m afraid I have little control over the ads.
Hello Mr. P, I'm interested to know if you keep all of your perfumes together or do you have a 'personal collection' of fragrances separate from all of the press releases and bottles you own for journalistic purposes that you wouldn't particularly want to wear?
If I could organise my collection properly, that's how I'd like to organise it... but unfortunately, that's a job that always seems to stay on the 'must do' list.
My favorite notes are also Frankincense & Leather. Also a big fan of all the evergreen scents of pine, fir balsam, and spruce.
Wonderful. Truth be told, there aren't reallty any notes I don't like.
Would love your review of Diptyque fragrances, maybe along with their best candle scents? Happy New Year!
I'll see what I can do.
I only discovered Pierre Guillaume’s Myrrhiad this year but also love it! I missed the live Q & A, but I’m curious if you have a specific scent for teaching, or do you wear whatever you feel like wearing on a specific day? Happy Holidays to you! I hope you and the rest of your family are well. 🙂
Thanks very much indeed. No, I don't have any specific work scents. I'm usually wearing something that I'm going to review.
Ah. A pity I missed this. A very kind Ebay buyer recently sent me a sample of Le Mat by Mendittorosa. I just wondered if you'd smelt it?
It's patchouli/rose chypre, but it made me do something I rarely ever do...order a full bottle of it at full retail price!
It's an absolutely beautiful patchouli (ballparking Voleur de Roses), set against a spiced (cloves etc) rose that seems to almost lose its petals to the winds of time becoming dry, dusty, and smoky as the perfume evolves.
Wonderful stuff, and well worth trying if you haven't!
I've heard good things about it, but I don't think I've ever smelt it. Thanks for the reminder.
Habit Rogue to me is the scent of 17th century Europe, so I loved your Shakespeare answer!
Oh, that’s wonderful. I’m glad it creates the same impression for you.
DEFINITELY try relique d’amour! One of the best church fragrances that i have ever tried. It has a old wet stone effect to it which i personally love
Okay, thanks, I'll see if I can find it.
@ if i remember correctly you can order 6 samples by choice for about 20 euros on their site. They have a lot of history but also a lot of misses (to my nose) so i cant really recommend you what to choose besides relique d’amour and violettes du czar
I can see the first Mr. P fragrance now: Le Paradoxe, a classic chypre from the future. 😂
Yes! I need to smell that.
I’m not sure you have done a Hermes list video (if you have, I can’t find it!) best wishes for the new year 🎉
Thank you.
It wasn't a video: persolaise.com/2016/07/super-scent-very-best-of-hermes.html
@ ah thank you!
Dang, I *just* missed this! Ah well, looking forward to watching it.
Enjoy!
Hi
Just found you and love your content. I would appreciate if you could give your thoughts on godet perfumes. Thank you.
Thanks very much for watching. I'll see what I can do.
Thank you for answering icecream question 👏
Omg 😂 Blue cheese icecream adventures and total honesty
zerofg reviews screams Sag
👏👏👏 from fellow Sag 🫡
Now you’re making me hungry for blue cheese ice cream.
I greatly value your expertise and hope you can answer my question. I miss the discontinued original Bottega Veneta perfume. In your opinion is there anything in perfume world that may replace it in my wounded heart))
I’m not sure if it’s still around, but it might be worth seeking out Armani Prive Cuir Amethyste. It’s by the same perfumer.
@@Persolaise Thank you so much, I will try it.
I missed the box on instagram and the live to...and this time I had a good question!
As we share the favorite movie (trilogy - red movie by K. Kieślowski)...I have to ask it now:
"what would be the scent of the 2 protagonist?"
Oh my goodness, I have no idea.
Valentine would have to wear something that combines innocence, idealism and melancholy with a strong, clear-sighted core. Maybe Dior Dune?
As for the judge... hmmm... that's a tough one. Let's say Knize Ten, because it's authoritative and assertive, but it has a marked romantic facet to it as well.
❤
Thanks for watching.
Guerlain❤ so much worth our time! Sotd L‘Heure Bleue ( and as so often when I do, asking myself why at all I am owning so many perfumes while this is still around).
I still have lots of time for Guerlain.
Name the female singer-songwriter svp???? 😢😢 i SO want to know! Merci
Madonna
@kristabel71 omg he dropped enough hints! Lol multi-tasking argh. Thanks!
It is, indeed, the Queen of Pop herself 😂
oh dang i missed it. i have a question i wanted to ask
What's the question?
@@Persolaise no, that's ok. it was actually answered in this episode
I really miss Penhaligons Blue Bell…anyone else?🪻🪻🪻
Is it discontinued?
That's a good one too. I think the brand keeps taking it away and bringing it back.
