Did you know that Madonna had her "Like A Prayer" album scented with Patchouli? The inside jacket of the vinyl album! Loved it!! Smelled like a Catholic church!
When I was in junior high, my mother bought me a bottle of Chanel 19, which I wore for a few years. Although you don’t see it all that often now, it’s still a classic to me.
Tellin’ ya, that Shalimar EDT is for everyone. The cologne formulation too. The construction is perfection, and the smokey incense/vanilla combo is killah! Championship level fragrance for anyone who digs those notes.
It's always nice to see Dahlia in your videos. You should do a part two. It feels like so many oldies but goodies were left off your list from yesterday and today. ~ Jenn
I always enjoy listening in on you two! And I love ''grandma'' scents! Thank you, Dahlia for challenging that dismissive phrase! I still wear Estee Lauder's Azuree and Madame Rochas, just like my mum.
Also Samsara and Georgio. My mom always wore way too much Georgio, and smoked, and then chewed mint gum. Always turned my stomach! Apparently Georgio was banned in some restaurants!
@@ThePerfumeGuy yas, please, we need part 2! And I hope you will include an iconic ‘80s fragrance that no one is talking about: Parfum de Peau by Montana 1986. Iconic enough to appear in “Basic Instinct” 🖤
Like I said many times before, I'm an Angel girl, that'll always be my scent. But as a teenager, I loved Loulou. Now my mom has told me she still has an unopened bottle from the 90's. And I'm getting my hands on that one! Now to add for future video's two more iconic fragrances I loved when I was younger : Rive Gauche from YSL and Opium from YSL. In that day and age I also loved Rochas' Alchemy and Ralph Lauren's Lauren. But I don't know if I would consider those iconic.
I would also add Eau de Rochas, it was quite emblematic in the 80's (at least in France), designed for women who didn't go along with opulent 80's scents. It was the fresh alternative. I also remember Montana's Parfum de Peau, I don't know it it was very popular but the bottle was emblematic when it came out. I bought it when I was around 15 years old and loved it, my friends though not so much, probably too "mature", lol...About Cacharel, I think that every French little girl got "Anais Anaïs" gifted at some point. Even the name Anaïs became a super popular name then.
Definitely some big names here. I know it had to be tough to choose only one from each house when so many of the classic brands have released multiple powerhouse fragrances over the years. As far as others that I consider iconic, several come to mind: Opium, Poison, Miss Dior, Mitsouko, Vol de Nuit. I would even consider some of the Elizabeth Arden offerings such as Sunflowers and Red Door iconic because of their huge popularity back in the late 80s and eaarly 90s, even if you don't really hear anyone talk about them anymore. I can almost smell the JC Penney store just thinkiing about them. lol
Shalimar is just so good! It’s the only thing I wore from my early teens into my thirties-I still love it, but like to mix things up more these days. As you mentioned, Millesime Tonka is an incredible flanker, and I’m hoping it returns as part of the upcoming 100 year anniversary (along with all the other flankers).
Hopefully Guerlain doesn’t mess up the anniversary like Chanel did for No 5. That was just depressing that they didn’t do anything but an ugly repackage…
Thank you for another wonderful episode with you and Dalya! The Diorissimo segment just hits different as it was my mother's signature scent . It's hard to find here and now (PH) so these days she's using Yves Rocher Muguet instead. I used to find it so heady as a kid but in hindsight, it was surprisingly fresh, even in the tropical heat where waxy white florals are the stuff of migraines.
I'm so here for this! Thank you! I love, love, love Guerlain's Shalimar and own a full bottle. I love everything about it including the gorgeous bottle. I agree that it's quite unisex. I tried Halston's Halston in my twenties and due to my under developed nose, couldn't appreciate it.
I was waiting for this! I hope one of my favorite is included! Diorismo is iconic it has a TBT for me my first perfume when it came out it was gifted to me by my mother when I was sixteen years old I carried two bottles when we came here in the USA until currently I still wear them from time to time and I received a lot of compliments on it! Thank you knowing that it was Iconic!👍👍👍
Another fantastic video. I work night shift and watching these videos you make is just so great and uplifting. You both have such a happy and positive energy and it really shows and inspires. I could listen for hours and never get tired of the stories and memories that can be shared here about all these classic fragrances. You both have a great friendship and that is wonderful. I have been collecting a lot of vintage fragrances for both men and women and I wear all of them. My grandmother wore Alyssa Ashley Musk for years growing up and it’s my greatest scent memory of her and it’s a classic. I wish she was still with us because she would love to have seen all the perfumes I have collected. Thanks and keep making great videos! Bless you both 🙏💜
A great Video …I really enjoyed it ! …I love a classic perfume ….I adore all of these fragrances some great memories with them …No5 will always be in my top 5 it’s a lifer for me …I fly through my bottles and repurchase it along with the body cream ! …
Hey!!! Love this channel!! And you are in the Bay Area with me!! I was wondering how do you guys find the original formulas for perfumes… most of these were out before I got into Perfume and i would like some classic vintage formulations
glad feminite du bois got a mention 🧡 I wore it in shiseido days and have tested some side by side with serge lutens and think they are pretty much the same 😊 was my signature for quite a while
Great video you two! I still have several of those iconic fragrances that live in my collection along with much newer perfumes of today. The video was like a walk down memory lane and made me spray on the first one (Caleche) mentioned as I realized that even though I once was completely enthralled with it (as well as Kelly Caleche), I rarely wear either. However, I still wear several others on your list. Another iconic perfume I would like to mention is Lanvin’s Arpege, which I still have in the pure parfum version in the round bottle with the gold cap which is absolutely beautiful and still smells really good. Thank you for this extremely enjoyable video!
I’m digging these videos about iconic fragrances. I feel like hypnotic poison by Dior and opium by ysl are definitely iconic. Ohh & jean Paul gaultier classique edt. Too many great ones.
I used to wear JPG Classique before I fell in love with the Dior Poisons years later. I have also loved a Chanel one, which smells a lot like Classique but forgot the name. The classics were so much better from the past. Nothing interests me lately.
Oh wow !! Caleche is My mother in law’s signature scent . I’ve never heard anyone talking about it really , so glad you guys did ❤I noticed , at least on her , it Has this powdery dry down scent trail . Really beautiful and understated. I do see the similarity to Chanel no.5 - maybe it give off that same classic vibe . Anyway I do enjoy it on her . Thanks for sharing !!
You guys are so much fun to watch together. My mom still wears Shalimar and Opium to this date. The only 2 perfumes she's ever owned. While I can respect the OG Angel, I am really enjoying the new Angel Elixir. It smells so beautiful and sharp to me and has great performance. I really love it. Hate away lol
Great video! More of the 2 of you together please, always fun to watch. I feel like Narciso Rodriguez is glaringly absent from this list - definitely worthy of iconic status and it doesn't break your one-per-brand rule.
Another great video with Dalya! Shalimar is such a classic! It was my mom’s signature scent. Once she started wearing it, she never wore any other fragrance!
My aunt wore YSL Rive Gauche. L'air du temps Nina Ricci, Madame Rochas and one from Van Cleef&Arpels (name escapes me) were the scents my mother wore in the 70s. I got a bottle of Kouros in the early 80s for Christmas from a family friend - and I hated it. She loved it and wore that and nothing else for the rest of her long life. I do love Kouros now.
Bal a Versailles parfum! Beautiful ( well iconic for me as Bal A' Versailles was my first perfume love and sets the standard for all who follow - for example Bianchi's the Dark Side different yet sisters or better a great grandaughter ) Love this and so nice to see you with Dahlia... more please.
Two fragrances that I really enjoyed wearing in my student days in the 1990s were Lace by Yardley and Amerige by Givenchy. Later on in the 2000s I got into Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf.
Oh Amarige. Man I have a great scent memory with Amarige. Because of that I gave a bottle of it to my mom. Loved the smell. Later almost 20 years later I gave my mom the original Michael Kors for Women because it reminded me of Amarige.
Wow this took me back! In the 80s I was all about Paloma Picasso and Obsession. Youth Dew is my mom in the 70s. She was the quintessential Breck Girl meets Mary Tyler Moore and men adored her. She wore YD along with Estee and later Cabochon (?). What a fun video and it makes me want to revisit some of these.
Dalia's comments on fragrances she has the wearing experience history of definitely shows she is in the know to great lengths in some subtle nuances. And Dalia @17:00 mentions the Aramis Aftershave being so good. Aramis EDT happens to be my SOTD :) love it! But even though having a modest collection of After Shaves, I don´t have the Aramis after shave. Will have to look it up. Love Pinaud´s Clubman Special Reserve, which has similarities to Aramis EDT. Great guest as always, and great video! PS. From the past, iconic women's fragrance to my nose was YSL Opium Parfum, I mean late 80's version, in the red plastic bottle with golden/transparent cap and a see through off-center circle in the body. That stuff made me think for the first time that smells could have beauty just like music or paintings. Have started smelling women's fragrances systematically only relatively recently. From my limited sample space so far, the current ones that standout for me are Givenchy L'Interdit EDP, Dior J'Adore the alcohol free one, and Prada Candy.
The Aramis aftershave has 2 versions,one is a regular edt type aftershave,and the other is my favorite the balm,but both are exceptional aftershaves. If you like the EDT you won’t be disappointed.
Youth dew is just glorious . I still wear it just all year round . Please make part 2❤❤❤ Rochas femme , cinnabar estee lauder , red door elizabeth arden and last but not least boucheron jaipur 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I also adore shalimar edt , it is just magnificent scent for eternity. My grandma always wore white linen estee lauder and my mom loves chanel no 5 , coco chanel and jean patou
❤hey you guys! I’ve been wearing Aromatics Elixir since the mid 90’s. I agree the scent is not the same. It’s a stunner & would get major compliments back in the day. Just beautiful! Fracas is another one I love!
Bonjour Sebastian, I broke my original bottle of Loulou by Cacharel, without spray... then i bought the new bottle in 1994. Still good today and so different from what we can find now a day 😭. I keep it preciously because it remind me so much good memory 🥰. Have a good day 😘
I am surprised Dana Tabu Vintage wasn't mentioned. Quite unique. Reminds me of flea markets with the unburnt Incense sticks. Its mostly the Civet and Benzoin mixture. Definitely worth wearing..
I had Caleche delicate and I absolutely loved it and wished I could smell it again. Angel was and always will be a 💕. Lou Lou smells too warm on me which is a shame as the notes should be perfection. On the other hand the Cacherel by Cacherel for men was a real swoon scent back in the day. Shalimar is a yes. There are a few scents I loved from the 90's and 00's one was Givenchy hot couture, also Givenchy angel/demon. The other was Dior addict which I think still is worth a look and I smelt it again recently that will definitely get in the collection soon
My favorite classics I enjoy due to the honorable women I've gleaned wisdom from include Estée Lauders' Beautiful, Chanels' Coco edt, Elizabeth Ardens' Red Door and YSLs' Opium. Great idea for video! Thx y'all!
Love Dalya and her curls! Giving me Like a Prayer vibes. 😍 I owned-wore both Caleche and Kelly versions for years and have decluttered but that was a fantastic choice. The notes are 😂vaguely similar I suppose but I never thought of Caleche smelling like Chanel No. 5. I’d add to this list Caron Tabac Blond, Joy by Patou, Bal à Versailles, and while Fracas is probably the more iconic choice I prefer Bandit.
My grandmother wore Youth Dew, my mom wore Le Must de Cartier and in the 80’s I wore Anais Anais and Lauren by Ralph Lauren, later moving on to Paloma Picasso and Opium.
Beautiful by Estee Lauder is iconic to me, as is White Linen. My mom bathed in those scents in the 1980's and early 90's. I occasionally wear Beautiful myself 😊
Very nostalgia and fun! I think Hermes Fabourg 24 is iconic, and not sure if this is iconic but I loved Givenchy Pi for men for years. I know what you are saying about grandma’s bathroom smells…personally I can’t do powdery, iris notes.
So about 23 years ago I swore up and down that Tommy girl by Tommy Hilfiger was the best scent that came out during my middle school and high school years. No one ever ever talks about it but I truly adored it. Also Burberry Brit was my signature scent for the first half of my 20’s
Ashley (the girl you used to do videos with) did a video called "How to smell expensive" and she talked about Shalimar as being a "forbidden fragrance" in polite society
I loved bijan and two givenchy perfumes, ysatis and amarige. So many memories. In 2001 I wore nothing but Angel and had so many compliments and questions. Now I can’t decide what I like and wear good girl, good fortune by viktor rolf, light blue, jean Paul gaultier LE belle, and Angel nova. Love irresistible by givenchy as well. I kind of like Angel elixir
Would love to try something similar to Fracas-any ideas? It is exactly how I would like to smell out of the bottle or on others, on me it is lackluster. I suppose I could try spraying it on a piece of clothing or in my hair. It is a Tuberose note that gets me weak in the knees.
First time I've heard someone articulate the bubblegumminess of Fracas! It's spellbinding. I had an editor who wore it and I told her, truthfully, that I was distracted by how good she smelled. That was when I fell in love with Fracas and *had* to have it. A favorite forever.
Chanel 22 is my all time favorite. My number one. Was gifted a decant in the 80’s of the perfume. Still have the bottle, empty, but I still sniff it on occasion. Lol
Had to go find my Shalimar and Youth Dew. Went with Shalimar this evening, but Youth Dew will be in the rotation soon. My personal iconic fragrances are Femme, Boucheron, and Coco. The old versions. And may I say that the videos you do together never fail to make me laugh. If anyone hasn't seen the video about the vintage fragrances from the storage locker, you are so missing out!
"Good girls don't smoke, dance the tango, or wear Shalimar". I really didn't know what aldehydes smell like until I smelled Picovaya Dama by Xerjoff, where aldehydes are amped up and the most dominant accord. I didn't get fizzy, zesty, effervescent champagne bubbles. That's what I almost get in the opening of Dior Eau Sauvage EDT. What I got was a strong, industrial strength cleaner irrigating my nostrils. Not good. I suppose aldehydes used in much smaller levels can do a lot for a composition. They're OK to my nose in Chanel No. 5. Hermés Equipage has an aldehyde note and it's great. I believe Penhaligon Sartorial has an aldehyde note. Great. I'm a dude, but I have a decant of Diorella coming, because I'm an Eau Sauvage fan. Never smelled Diorella but Edmond Roudnitska said it was "Eau Sauvage perfected". I bought Youth Dew for my girlfriend this winter. Also bought her the EDT of L'Interdit by Givenchy. Much different than the 1957 original I hear. But L'Interdit OG should be on this list. And Mitsouko and L'Heure Bleu, and Joy, and Vol de Nuit and maybe Arpege. But I guess not all can fit on a list of only 10.
Today I am wearing Jean Patou Eau de Joy and loving it. Vintage bottle I got from eBay at a good price. I also wear Angel, and Explosive is deadly with a leathery oudh and amber layer. My 13 yo wears Shalimar and the 15 yo wears Cloud.
@@elisabeth400 I bought a load of testers for both of my teenage daughters and I mixed a load designer, niche and classics. They both chose one each. I just hope one of them follows my love for fragrances
🔥🔥🔥Watch my Your Fragrance Questions Answered Video 5 here: th-cam.com/video/Ov9eWAL9O5M/w-d-xo.html 🔥🔥🔥
You two genuinely have wonderful ‘best friends’chemistry. Love how you make each other giggle and smile like naughty school kids up to no good.
Completely agree.
Did you know that Madonna had her "Like A Prayer" album scented with Patchouli? The inside jacket of the vinyl album! Loved it!! Smelled like a Catholic church!
WHOA? I didn't know and i had that album! :)
When I was in junior high, my mother bought me a bottle of Chanel 19, which I wore for a few years. Although you don’t see it all that often now, it’s still a classic to me.
Great list...I would add Obsession, Eternity, Giorgio, Poison, Opium, Ck one.
Chanel Coco Mademoiselle has to be on the list. I am a guy and I personally wear the Intense version
Tellin’ ya, that Shalimar EDT is for everyone. The cologne formulation too. The construction is perfection, and the smokey incense/vanilla combo is killah! Championship level fragrance for anyone who digs those notes.
YES!!
It's always nice to see Dahlia in your videos. You should do a part two. It feels like so many oldies but goodies were left off your list from yesterday and today. ~ Jenn
I always enjoy listening in on you two! And I love ''grandma'' scents! Thank you, Dahlia for challenging that dismissive phrase! I still wear Estee Lauder's Azuree and Madame Rochas, just like my mum.
Also Samsara and Georgio. My mom always wore way too much Georgio, and smoked, and then chewed mint gum. Always turned my stomach! Apparently Georgio was banned in some restaurants!
Lancome's Tresor is another great classic. My maternal grandmother, mother, and mother-in-law wore it in the past.
I can see this for sure.
The Lagerfeld Chloe! I miss it. White Shoulders was my Mom in the 70's. White Linen was everywhere. Van Cleef & Arpels First, a forgotten icon.
Dior Poison, YSL Opium, Jean Paul Gaultier Le Classique, Chloe Eau De Parfum, Nina Ricci L’Air Du Temps, and Cacharel Anais Anais. 😊
I wore Lou Lou back in 87 loved it with anais anais 😆🔥
Just got a bottle but have not worn it yet.
Fun fact, my mom was at Studio 54 that night!!! She has photos of all kinds of celebrities from back then.
WOW
Missed: Poison, Opium, Obsession
Yep, yep, yep. Unfortunately can't fit more than 10 in a 10 list! Perhaps on part 2! :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy yas, please, we need part 2!
And I hope you will include an iconic ‘80s fragrance that no one is talking about: Parfum de Peau by Montana 1986. Iconic enough to appear in “Basic Instinct” 🖤
Like I said many times before, I'm an Angel girl, that'll always be my scent. But as a teenager, I loved Loulou. Now my mom has told me she still has an unopened bottle from the 90's. And I'm getting my hands on that one! Now to add for future video's two more iconic fragrances I loved when I was younger : Rive Gauche from YSL and Opium from YSL. In that day and age I also loved Rochas' Alchemy and Ralph Lauren's Lauren. But I don't know if I would consider those iconic.
I would also add Eau de Rochas, it was quite emblematic in the 80's (at least in France), designed for women who didn't go along with opulent 80's scents. It was the fresh alternative. I also remember Montana's Parfum de Peau, I don't know it it was very popular but the bottle was emblematic when it came out. I bought it when I was around 15 years old and loved it, my friends though not so much, probably too "mature", lol...About Cacharel, I think that every French little girl got "Anais Anaïs" gifted at some point. Even the name Anaïs became a super popular name then.
Definitely some big names here. I know it had to be tough to choose only one from each house when so many of the classic brands have released multiple powerhouse fragrances over the years. As far as others that I consider iconic, several come to mind: Opium, Poison, Miss Dior, Mitsouko, Vol de Nuit. I would even consider some of the Elizabeth Arden offerings such as Sunflowers and Red Door iconic because of their huge popularity back in the late 80s and eaarly 90s, even if you don't really hear anyone talk about them anymore. I can almost smell the JC Penney store just thinkiing about them. lol
My mom still wears Opium to this date

Shalimar is so gorgeous, mitsouko as well.. both are so beautiful they make me want to cry
Great video!
Love this video! Thank you both of you
Love you guys! I love all those iconic fragrances.
Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day

I'm so here for this! Thank you! I love, love, love Guerlain's Shalimar and own a full bottle. I love everything about it including the gorgeous bottle. I agree that it's quite unisex. I tried Halston's Halston in my twenties and due to my under developed nose, couldn't appreciate it.
More collabs and videos like this please! Loved both the masculine and feminine videos.
I was waiting for this! I hope one of my favorite is included! Diorismo is iconic it has a TBT for me my first perfume when it came out it was gifted to me by my mother when I was sixteen years old I carried two bottles when we came here in the USA until currently I still wear them from time to time and I received a lot of compliments on it! Thank you knowing that it was Iconic!👍👍👍
Opium for sure. I've worn almost all of these. I loved the old Aromatics too. Great list!
Can't wait to try some of these.
I think of Hermes 24 Faubourg and Joy by Jean Patou and Bette Davis firing up a cig and the sillage cuts thru the cig smoke.
I thought Rochas Femme was going to be in there somewhere. So many Iconic ones.
I adore this

Bal a Versailles parfum! Beautiful ( well iconic for me as Bal A' Versailles was my first perfume love and sets the standard for all who follow - for example Bianchi's the Dark Side different yet sisters or better a great grandaughter ) Love this and so nice to see you with Dahlia... more please.
Marvellous video ❤❤❤
You two together... PURE PLEASURE ❤
Dying to try Fracas!!!
Love you two together!!
Two fragrances that I really enjoyed wearing in my student days in the 1990s were Lace by Yardley and Amerige by Givenchy. Later on in the 2000s I got into Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf.
Oh Amarige. Man I have a great scent memory with Amarige. Because of that I gave a bottle of it to my mom. Loved the smell. Later almost 20 years later I gave my mom the original Michael Kors for Women because it reminded me of Amarige.
I loved amarige and ysatis. So many memories.
Youth Dew is my mom's scent, and my grandma used Chanel. No. 5 and Maderas Del Oriente (a bottle that had 2 sticks in it)
White Diamonds, CK One, Chloe Narcisse, Avon Far Away
Wow this took me back! In the 80s I was all about Paloma Picasso and Obsession. Youth Dew is my mom in the 70s. She was the quintessential Breck Girl meets Mary Tyler Moore and men adored her. She wore YD along with Estee and later Cabochon (?). What a fun video and it makes me want to revisit some of these.
I used to like Paloma Picasso too. It's a classy lady's fragrance.
Your mom sounds iconic
Love these duo analyses with Dalya!
For some reason I never got into Youth Dew and Aromatics, but both were all the rage amongst my university friends in the early to mid 1990s.
Dalia's comments on fragrances she has the wearing experience history of definitely shows she is in the know to great lengths in some subtle nuances.
And Dalia @17:00 mentions the Aramis Aftershave being so good. Aramis EDT happens to be my SOTD :) love it!

I had Caleche delicate and I absolutely loved it and wished I could smell it again. Angel was and always will be a 💕. Lou Lou smells too warm on me which is a shame as the notes should be perfection. On the other hand the Cacherel by Cacherel for men was a real swoon scent back in the day. Shalimar is a yes. There are a few scents I loved from the 90's and 00's one was Givenchy hot couture, also Givenchy angel/demon. The other was Dior addict which I think still is worth a look and I smelt it again recently that will definitely get in the collection soon
My favorite classics I enjoy due to the honorable women I've gleaned wisdom from include Estée Lauders' Beautiful, Chanels' Coco edt, Elizabeth Ardens' Red Door and YSLs' Opium. Great idea for video! Thx y'all!
Love Dalya and her curls! Giving me Like a Prayer vibes. 😍 I owned-wore both Caleche and Kelly versions for years and have decluttered but that was a fantastic choice. The notes are 😂vaguely similar I suppose but I never thought of Caleche smelling like Chanel No. 5. I’d add to this list Caron Tabac Blond, Joy by Patou, Bal à Versailles, and while Fracas is probably the more iconic choice I prefer Bandit.
Thank you for the vídeo with Dahlia- shalimar loulou, Youth Dew - have you mentioned Arpege, xFemme de rochas or Lair de temps ?
My grandmother wore Youth Dew, my mom wore Le Must de Cartier and in the 80’s I wore Anais Anais and Lauren by Ralph Lauren, later moving on to Paloma Picasso and Opium.
I nearly forgot about Lauren! Loved it along with Tuxedo!
I love you both! You're the best on screen duo
Amazing! Is that weird that I am 30 years old and I use Kouros from YSL?! Something I get the "dad scent" but I love it and I use since I was 18
Wonderful 🎉
Very interesting.....what about Opium....I loved that scent...they have copies but nothing like the original scent .
Opium by YSL is also iconic.
Beautiful by Estee Lauder is iconic to me, as is White Linen. My mom bathed in those scents in the 1980's and early 90's. I occasionally wear Beautiful myself 😊
Thanks for sharing!!
I loved those two as well in the 80s.
Very nostalgia and fun! I think Hermes Fabourg 24 is iconic, and not sure if this is iconic but I loved Givenchy Pi for men for years. I know what you are saying about grandma’s bathroom smells…personally I can’t do powdery, iris notes.
not only iconic for Hermes but a much better scent than Calche.
Should have
Jean Patou Joy the best ever women perfume created in 1933
Jean Patou 1000
If you do a part 2 please include Nina Ricci especially Farouche :)
Beverly Hills Giorgio is iconic I think. Haven't smelled it but I keep seeing that yellow box with stripes.
So about 23 years ago I swore up and down that Tommy girl by Tommy Hilfiger was the best scent that came out during my middle school and high school years. No one ever ever talks about it but I truly adored it. Also Burberry Brit was my signature scent for the first half of my 20’s
Ashley (the girl you used to do videos with) did a video called "How to smell expensive" and she talked about Shalimar as being a "forbidden fragrance" in polite society
How about Serge Lutens fragrances? For example De Profundis.
I loved bijan and two givenchy perfumes, ysatis and amarige. So many memories. In 2001 I wore nothing but Angel and had so many compliments and questions. Now I can’t decide what I like and wear good girl, good fortune by viktor rolf, light blue, jean Paul gaultier LE belle, and Angel nova. Love irresistible by givenchy as well. I kind of like Angel elixir
Would love to try something similar to Fracas-any ideas? It is exactly how I would like to smell out of the bottle or on others, on me it is lackluster. I suppose I could try spraying it on a piece of clothing or in my hair. It is a Tuberose note that gets me weak in the knees.
Miss Dior Originale
I love you guys together ❤️
First time I've heard someone articulate the bubblegumminess of Fracas! It's spellbinding. I had an editor who wore it and I told her, truthfully, that I was distracted by how good she smelled. That was when I fell in love with Fracas and *had* to have it. A favorite forever.
Oh yes for sure. It's such a bubblegum scent to me. I don't know why. I put my nose to it and instantly that is what I get. Tuberose Bubblegum! :)
I still wear Francas. I used to have Bandit too.
I am requesting a Masque Milano house overview! ❤ pretty please 🥺
Chanel 22 is my all time favorite. My number one. Was gifted a decant in the 80’s of the perfume. Still have the bottle, empty, but I still sniff it on occasion. Lol
What about Houbigant Le Parfum Ideal or Le Trefle Incarnat?
Had to go find my Shalimar and Youth Dew. Went with Shalimar this evening, but Youth Dew will be in the rotation soon. My personal iconic fragrances are Femme, Boucheron, and Coco. The old versions. And may I say that the videos you do together never fail to make me laugh. If anyone hasn't seen the video about the vintage fragrances from the storage locker, you are so missing out!
Angel is forever the best fragrance. My all time fav
My dad wears only the vintage AROMATICS ELIXIR and he is in a bad mood, if he can't get it 😂❤
"Good girls don't smoke, dance the tango, or wear Shalimar".
I really didn't know what aldehydes smell like until I smelled Picovaya Dama by Xerjoff, where aldehydes are amped up and the most dominant accord. I didn't get fizzy, zesty, effervescent champagne bubbles. That's what I almost get in the opening of Dior Eau Sauvage EDT. What I got was a strong, industrial strength cleaner irrigating my nostrils. Not good. I suppose aldehydes used in much smaller levels can do a lot for a composition. They're OK to my nose in Chanel No. 5. Hermés Equipage has an aldehyde note and it's great. I believe Penhaligon Sartorial has an aldehyde note. Great.
I'm a dude, but I have a decant of Diorella coming, because I'm an Eau Sauvage fan. Never smelled Diorella but Edmond Roudnitska said it was "Eau Sauvage perfected".
I bought Youth Dew for my girlfriend this winter. Also bought her the EDT of L'Interdit by Givenchy. Much different than the 1957 original I hear. But L'Interdit OG should be on this list. And Mitsouko and L'Heure Bleu, and Joy, and Vol de Nuit and maybe Arpege. But I guess not all can fit on a list of only 10.
I bought Eau Sauvage for my dad when I was in France and I still wear Diorella. Lancome O, the green one, is similar but Diorella is the Queen.
Today I am wearing Jean Patou Eau de Joy and loving it. Vintage bottle I got from eBay at a good price.
I also wear Angel, and Explosive is deadly with a leathery oudh and amber layer.
My 13 yo wears Shalimar and the 15 yo wears Cloud.
I have Angel and love wearing it.
13 yo wears Shalimar?? Wow, she has a good taste!
@@elisabeth400 I bought a load of testers for both of my teenage daughters and I mixed a load designer, niche and classics. They both chose one each. I just hope one of them follows my love for fragrances
@@elisabeth400 she's just pinched my Bal a Versailles! Literally minutes ago!
Youth Dew was the starter perfume for so many women I know, but in the blue bottle. Opium!
