my SA slid me a sample or two of this and i immediately thought of insolence having a baby with a heliotrope flower; even though they have their differences. could definitely be my first les exclusifs in my collection ❤ lovely video
I'm so happy for that review! Even If dont like this one, I'm still very excited to listen what you have to say, because only you can do that this special way. ❤ Thank you for that.
@@essence-tiallydacob9611 the incense and benzoin sounds related to Paris-Venise for me! cant wait to test this one. my all time favorite is bois des iles
You have me so intrigued…I have a hard time with some sweet scents, but obviously I can’t wait to try-you’ve made me such a lover of the Chanel aldehydes ❤
I can’t wait to smell this ! I always try to compare perfumes with movies .. and I really hope it smells like “ the dark crystal “ my favorite movie of all time !!
I love the dark crystal too and I also love the tv series. Such a shame Netflix cancelled the show after the first season. To me the movie Dark Crystal is more like the perfume “Tubereuse Criminelle” by Serge Lutens… if we were to connect the perfume to the Skeksis vibes… but if were were to connect the perfume to the planet Thra, then maybe Comete would be more appropriate… 😉💫✨
Loved the review, story, and the beautiful background. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Would love an update video in the future. Even more excited to try this. Thank you for the review, Dacob - what a treat (as always - however this is extra special just cuz it’s a new Exclusif). 💫 ☄️ $550 is insane but this is like buying a piece of art.
Thank you Damien 🥹🙏🏻🥰💖 the price is insane for real. Not sure if they will sell enough les exclusifs perfumes anymore with these new prices… people are backing away quite a bit as far as I can understand from all the information I read online… I guess only time will tell… 💖
This was such a juicy unboxing full of anticipation and excitement. Your review was so intriguing! I got a chance to sample Comete at the boutique. Surprisingly, I love it. It sparkles and scintillates, and it's a pleasure to experience this beautiful creation when I catch the fragrance of Comete on my wrist. Thank you, dear Dacob!
Ahhhh you just got me to exacting, can’t wait to try this one. I love powdery notes in general, as soon as you mentioned Iris, I knew that I just have to get it 😅 thank you and see you tomorrow ♥️♥️♥️
Oh, I want to be dressed by the starlight...I love your poetry, Dacob. This was so enjoyable. I used to love Cristalle in the late '90s. Wonder if I will like Comete.
Thank you Stella 🥹🙏🏻💖 Cristalle is a beautiful fragrance. Comete is warmer than Cristalle and the musk is a new generation of musks. Olivier’s signature, as he used it in 1957 as well. 💖
Wow Dacob, I finally sat down and watched your fabulous review 🎉. Comete sounds like quite an enigma, and I will take your advice and not blind buy when it is available in OZ. I do love the sound of it though, and am so happy that the perfume sounds complex and interesting- I cannot wait for a whiff-er-roo!! Thankyou for this gorgeous, thorough review as always Darl ❤❤❤
Hi again Dacob! Update: I bought the 200ML Comete today! I went in 2 days in a row and sprayed and sniffed and it wore on my skin for 12hrs! I really wanted to see how the top, mid and base notes developed and smelt on my skin. I did enjoy it on first "bubbly aldehyde" spray, but the way it changed and sat beautiful on the dry down was simply dreamy!! I went in and bought it today, first thing ( Tuesday), I was going to go to the Chanel Beauty Boutique, but hadn't had great customer service with them the last few times, so went into Chanel Myer Melb and it cost $630.00 AUD 😮, but got it for $570.00 because they had a "Spend $500.00 and get a $50.00 gift card" promotion thingy, so did that, and with points it was cheaper- woo hoo! Still pricey, but it felt better for me after that price increase. Got it beautifully gift wrapped and tied with the lovely pink and orange ribbon, and even put in the now rare big gorgeous white Chanel bags. Also got a couple of Comete samples, so this gal is very happy! I really love it!! I found a spray on each wrist, and one on the back of my neck ( to leave a comete trail) the right amount for me!!! I can understand your excitement, I feel exactly the same. This perfume came at exactly the right time for me. 🎉❤❤❤
This was great and highly anticipated Dacob🎉 I do understand that this i a special one. I tend to get headache of certain perfumes Even though i like them. Also great entertainement to see your authentic reaction to the perfume. I would be delighted to se an update review later. I also wonder if you are to treat us with an exclusive review of VW Boudoir parfum anytime? Kind regards, Julian
Thank you Julian 🙏🏻🥰💫 I will definitely do an updated review of Comete after some time has passed and I have collected more impressions of it. I did two reviews of Vivienne Wesrwood’s boudoir edp but still need to do the parfum review, which I will get to as well. 💖💫💖
Thoroughly enjoyed your review! Makes me want to go try this out myself. Also love the background for the video! 💫 Perfect video when I’m not looking at the eclipse today.
Dacob I finally tried this today: it really is amazing. It lasts all day but it’s very subtle and just soo good. For some reason I pick up a little 22 and then an incense but an incense that’s ancient. This is a truly great one. Really takes you somewhere!! I think I have to buy it!😮
Great video! I’m already excited to try it and perhaps buy it for my birthday upcoming in May. Since you emphasized this isn’t a safe blind buy I’ll go to the Chanel store to have the experience.
I hate I missed the pre show review but I love your interpretations of the fragrance! I wanted to go today to visit my SA and now I’m so excited!!!! I love a gourmand scent! If Chanel finally made one that comes close, then I’ll definitely have to purchase it. I suffer from migraines and the perfume must agree with me. 🤦🏼♀️🤣
This one is not gourmand though and in my opinion it might cause headaches. Its quite omnipotent. Be warned and enjoy carefully with small doses. 😉🌅💖✨💫
Great review Dacob thank you I think that I'd like this new fragrance because I love anything almond and cherry blossom but I don't think that we can get it here in the UK yet! Best wishes to you ❤👍🙂
Finally abemus Comete ! 💫 thank you for your review darling, such a pleasure listening to Italian words from you 🤩 sooo, WUGO! it seems to be very “cosmetichy” vibes ? Isn’t it? Heliotrope, almond , powder is to die for, for me, but I don’t get so well with Olivier creations sadly. I will manage to try comete as soon as possible 🤍🤍🤍 un abbraccio 🥰
Olivier does have a tendency (at least for me and just in my opinion) to warm up in a too fuzzy way the perfumes sometimes and I don’t particularly care for that in Chanel perfumes. Its kind of his signature… alas…
My sister just sent me a sample from her trip to Paris to the Chanel boutique. I’m trying my sample as you are trying it…I’m doing the same. My first impression is this is a Christmas Holiday perfume in a snowy cold climate. It reminds me of a house filled with fresh Christmas trees, cookies, and London broil cooking in the air & a huge fire crackling in the fireplace. The doorbell rings & you open the front door to greet your guest, the strong wind blows freezing cold air in & swirling snow dust your entry way as it follows your guests in the door & melts on the marble as quickly as the door closes. Everyone is filled with the Holiday spirit. Lots of warm feelings. Kiss kiss. My sister is bringing me back some perfume from Paris, tomorrow & I have to choose from the samples. I was looking for Cristalle & 19 for the summer. Something cool & refreshing. Leaning toward Cristalle, but this new fragrance, Comete, is a story onto itself. Its final dry down is lovely. Enveloping coziness. I had it on my arm last night & kept sniffing it, thinking this is warm like a hug. Not for summer in the South. Watching you & testing my sample is like an interactive experience. So delightful. I get the barnyard vibe. Stables in the winter. The hay & woodchips. Catholic Church Christmas mass, incense. I’m a Chanel 22 & Beige. Last night I was enjoying it. I was an Opium & Poison wearer long ago & faraway. And Vivienne Westwood. So I truly love your videos. I feel like I relate to your perfume history. Comete is a little like Boucheron. Comete has tenacity. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. It does have an amazing vibe…but not sure it’s me now. I’m more in a Cristalle state of mind. The OG Cristalle with the bite & the ashtray. 🥰😘 Thank you for your videos. Great interpretations of fragrances. What fun!🎉🎉🎉
Dear Dacob😍, looks and sounds right down my alley 🧡🐈⬛. How much of the Paris Riviera do you experience in the scent profile? Aside from the Riviera aspect ( OMO 😷🤣) I’m soooooo excited 👏🏻👏🏻. Mwaaa 🥰🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺 Stani
Oh no... sickly sweet? I was encouraged when you said "bitter almond"... but sweet? Like L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil? Oh... guess I'll just have to try it. I never discount Chanel perfumes until I try them out on my skin. Thanks Dacob... you're about the only perfume critic I trust these days.
Thank you dear. This perfume borderlines to sickly sweet but never gets there, it borders to bitter almond but never gets fully bitter… it teases a lot but remains in its own lane, classically elegant like a true chanel. But still, when it goes into the sickly sweet direction on the skin, it can get annoying in a way until it shifts gears again. Not a blind buy in my opinion. But nevertheless a beautiful creation.
I finally tried it. I totally agree that this is far more complex than the opening almond blast would initially suggest, and I did get stardust vibes in the drydown. It was also giving old Hollywood vibes to me for reasons I couldn't put my finger on. Having said that it didn't move me in the way the very best Chanel perfumes do... Cristalle, No.5, No.19, Bel Respiro etc all hit me like a knife to the heart emotionally, this doesn't do that, for better or worse. I did find it very beautiful though.
I get a lot of Iris, aldehydes, and bitter almonds in this, but don't fine it sweet. It has a strong Chanel DNA, but sadly it does not last long on me at all!
I smelled a cherry blossom recently and they do have an almondy scent. I'm looking forward to experience this scent. I will not buy it but I want to smell Olivier's creativity.
Great review! I finally tried it today! It reminds me a lot of Apres Londee by gurlain and a bit of L’heur blue as well. It is like a sweeter more powdery version of both. I am wondering what is the ingredient here that reminds me of the guerlain, do they have common ingrediants?
Thanks Holly 🥰✨🙏🏻 but please do not purchase this one blindly. This one is really difficult and might become quite divisive among perfume lovers alike. 💖
I have two 75ml with batch code 9401 and one 200ml batch code 9502. Comete has been on sale, officially, in the US for less than a month and world wide less than six months. That's three batch codes, including the samples, released already. Is Chanel churring out batches that rapidly?
Don’t forget that this perfume was supposed to be launched last year originally… they might have had also some stock waiting to be distributed for a bit longer… plus its not uncommon to have a few batch codes for the world release if the batch codes vary so slightly.
It keeps shifting gears. At the moment, several days after first impressions, the musks are more prominent and very reminiscent of 1957. They are both from the same family.
I’ve been waiting for this with bated breath, darling. I’m as excited about your review as I am about the perfume itself!! As soon as you said ‘dense’ I thought ‘A bottle will be with me on release date.’ (I wonder when that is in the UK?) I didn’t want just a straightforward, spring floral which is how Fragrantica kind of make it sound. I wanted a COMETE and it sounds like we get one. Loads of love, as always. You’re a living legend in the perfume community xx
Hi Dacob, how are you doing?❤ I'm quite curious about this new release, not managing to get what it is about 🤔 , but my point is: I can take the lack of projection and longevity from Paris Venise, or Cristalle. But as soon as they charge you 500 bucks for a bottle, I'm getting tacky 😅 I'll definitely give this comete a try, but, I know I'm not going to buy it. Thank you for this video! 😊😘🤩
Dacob- If I were to say one descriptor that ties the traditional Chanel fragrances together is a certain waxiness. Do you know what I’m trying to say? You used the word “buttery,” which might be what I’m trying to say. Is there a waxy quality to this new one? Great first impression and analysis, as usual! Great job!
Hmm… waxiness… I think I know what you mean… maybe at a certain point it has that quality… but perhaps more resinous than waxy. Or maybe a bit of both properties together.
Some people say comete reminds them of beige but to me comete is related to 1957 when the drydown hits with some of the same musks I smell out in 1957.
@@essence-tiallydacob9611 I would love love love your opinion on the pink one. Tanzanite or something rather. Its so layered. But I am tossing up this one and Estee Lauder Infinite Sky.
Well I must try this . I will say I blind bought 1957 because I was absolutely sure I would love it . But it is the one Les Exclusifs that I dislike. I am gonna try this one . True , there are other brands with really insane prices …. Thanks for the video , Dacob !❤❤
Thank you melanieng 🙏🏻💖 Yep, indeed, Chanel actually probably felt the need (and I am just speculating here) to have to keep up with the price range other niche and luxury perfume houses demanded for their fragrances, in order to not be perceived as lesser than. Allegedly.
Its slowly trickling into boutiques worldwide. Official launch is May 2024 but some boutiques already received it and if they did receive it, they will not showcase it on the sales floor unless you specifically ask for it. If you ask for it, they might bring a bottle from the back to let you test it and eventually purchase it.
Not really. It sparkles now and then but its more dense. Aldehydes bubble it up but not in the usual way we are used to from Chanel’s other perfume offerings.
Thank you for your review! I look forward to trying it out for myself. It sounds like if Comete were a zodiac sign, it'd be an Aries: intense and competitive!
I agree, and actually I am happy to get one new release every year or two. Makes it more special and magical for me. It also gives me more time to discover and appreciate the perfume that was just released, without putting pressure on me to already have to run out and buy yet another new release just a month after this release. I like to have time to let a perfume simmer and talk to me. Its a very long process, hence why I do not buy many new perfumes. I need a lot of time to let a perfume really open up to me. And I take that time too. Time is the biggest luxury and I take it. 💖💫🌅
So funny, right after I saw Dacob’s review, my San Antonio associate texted me That it was in. I just picked it up! I’m a happy camper. The opening is not my favorite but after 10 minutes, it becomes slightly sweet, airy, and elegant. Thank you for the review.
Hey Dacob, I recently found an old No. 5 extrait probably from the 1960's but it has a sticker on the shrink wrap that says T.S.S.A. Could you tell me what that means?
Hi Dacob, do you know how this compares to a Celine Dans Paris type of sent? It's also a very heliotrope and musk type of affair...Any idea of when this will be out in the EU? Still no word in Italy, the sales assistants are treating this as if it's the second coming of Christ and no word on a date.
One of the most anticipated videos of the year! 🎉
Thank you so much 🥹🙏🏻🥰 I Hope you enjoyed it! 💖💫💖
TOTALLY!! I was so excited when I noticed it was up, I couldn’t bring myself to watch it. I kept thinking ‘After you watch it, it’ll be over.’ lol xx
Finally! You are the influencer that I look forward to the most for this release
Thank you Tammyong 🥹🙏🏻🥰💖
Exactly!
Guess who's video pops first on Google when you type Chanel Comete parfum? Congrats Dacob 👏 🤩🥳💖💖💖
Yaaaay 💫💫💫🌅🌅🌅 so happy people are liking my review video 🥰🥰🌅💖💖
This perfume goes so well with last year’s Chanel’s spring makeup collection. So good!!!
It also goes well this years coral treasure eye palette… also spring 🥰✨✨✨
The total solar eclipse and Dacob's unpacking Comete have met! 🎉😊
Perfect holistic collision 💥😉✨💖✨💫
Dacob, a new Chanel release, and an eclipse, together? How serendipitous! 💫💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️
Magic how all the event collide in one moment in time ✨✨✨💫🌅💫✨✨✨
my SA slid me a sample or two of this and i immediately thought of insolence having a baby with a heliotrope flower; even though they have their differences. could definitely be my first les exclusifs in my collection ❤ lovely video
Thank you b 🙏🏻🥰💖
Once again you gave us the most nuanced, in depth review. I love how you know the Chanel history and weave that into your review.
Thank you so much Lia 🥰🙏🏻✨💖
Your reviews are SO thorough, informative, and entertaining! You have the gift of teaching in your DNA. I appreciate you!
Thank you very much 🥰💖💫🙏🏻🌅
I'm so happy for that review! Even If dont like this one, I'm still very excited to listen what you have to say, because only you can do that this special way. ❤ Thank you for that.
Thank you so much Sophie 🥹🙏🏻💖🌅💫✨✨✨
Your backdrop is so ethereal and timely as well! ☄️
Thank you! It twinkles ☺️✨
just in time for the solar eclipse! the only review ive been waiting for on this one, thank u dacob
Thank you Strawbetty 🥰🥹🌅💖💫 I waited for the solar eclipse to post this video 😉💖🌅
@@essence-tiallydacob9611 the incense and benzoin sounds related to Paris-Venise for me! cant wait to test this one. my all time favorite is bois des iles
Im watching this while there is the solar eclipse ✨
No better way to do it but this way! Thats why I posted the video now 🥰💖💫🌅
Loved the review. Thank you so much for everything Dacob. Greetings from Guatemala. 💐
I slept during it … I forgot it.
It took place anyway … 🤭✨💫
So glad this was finally released. I wasn’t going to try this at the store but your review intrigued me.
Its a special one but not a blind buy.
Right on time for the eclipse! I’ve been waiting to hear your thoughts on this! Love the ribbon and packaging. Lovely 💕
Thank you Heaven! I waited for the eclipse to post the video! We keep it holistic here, always 🙏🏻🥰💖💫💫💫🌅🌅🌅😉
I got a bottle in Paris in April. I love it!❤
Congratulations. Its a beauty 💖💫
This is one of the BEST reviews I've ever watched.
Thank you Christine 🙏🏻💖
I love how you LOVE CHANEL….Just seeing your excitement is contagious!
Thank you Carla 🥹🥰♥️
You have me so intrigued…I have a hard time with some sweet scents, but obviously I can’t wait to try-you’ve made me such a lover of the Chanel aldehydes ❤
You do indeed give me more the sophisticated chypre perfume vibes instead. You are more a chypre type I think. Maybe. No? 💖✨💖
Yesssssss dacob! I’m gonna get in my zone for this review! I’m surrounded by Chanel fragrances
Thats the best way to watch a Chanel perfume review 🥰💖💫 I do that too each time. Haha. I surround myself with my favorite Chanel perfumes 🥰💖🌅
I can’t wait to smell this ! I always try to compare perfumes with movies .. and I really hope it smells like “ the dark crystal “ my favorite movie of all time !!

7:44 for a second there i thought all that dust was stars, that would have been such a cool idea to put stars on the cap.😊
Sparkly stardust… poetic 🌅💥💫💫💫✨✨✨✨✨✨

Fantastic review Dacob., thank you. I love a dense and obnoxious Dior perfume, so I am sure I will love Comete 🌠
Thank you dear. Let me know what you think of it once you have tried it 💖💫

Enjoy Comete 🥰💫✨💫
Appreciate your review Dacob! Love Chanel perfumery. Really excited to sample it soon!
Thank you. Comete keeps growing on me… it has something otherworldly Chanelesque about it.
When you say simplicity, I remember the first time I smelled N° 5 L'eau. It's simple, yet there is an elegant complexity in its freshness .
I agree. I love my N 5 L’eau. Complex fragrances can make it hard to relate in memory and not uncertainty for the wearer.
Oh yes, No5 L’Eau is a good example
Thanks for the info dacob I can’t wait to get a sample of this 🥰
Thank you Steven 🙏🏻✨💖 definitely sample first before committing to a full bottle. This perfume is not easy.
whoehoeeee, I'm going to look at your review now!!! So very curious 🫨🫨🫨
Thank you 🥰💖
thank you Dacob 🙏🏻
I'll stick to my favorite perfumes 😂
Jersey, No22, Bel Respiro, No18 and Boy

@@essence-tiallydacob9611 🥰thank you, I can’t wait until Friday👏🏻🥰❤️🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺
Oh no... sickly sweet? I was encouraged when you said "bitter almond"... but sweet? Like L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil? Oh... guess I'll just have to try it. I never discount Chanel perfumes until I try them out on my skin. Thanks Dacob... you're about the only perfume critic I trust these days.
Thank you dear. This perfume borderlines to sickly sweet but never gets there, it borders to bitter almond but never gets fully bitter… it teases a lot but remains in its own lane, classically elegant like a true chanel. But still, when it goes into the sickly sweet direction on the skin, it can get annoying in a way until it shifts gears again. Not a blind buy in my opinion. But nevertheless a beautiful creation.
I finally tried it. I totally agree that this is far more complex than the opening almond blast would initially suggest, and I did get stardust vibes in the drydown. It was also giving old Hollywood vibes to me for reasons I couldn't put my finger on. Having said that it didn't move me in the way the very best Chanel perfumes do... Cristalle, No.5, No.19, Bel Respiro etc all hit me like a knife to the heart emotionally, this doesn't do that, for better or worse. I did find it very beautiful though.
I get a lot of Iris, aldehydes, and bitter almonds in this, but don't fine it sweet. It has a strong Chanel DNA, but sadly it does not last long on me at all!
Thank you for the excellent review!!
Thank you Carrie 🥹🙏🏻💖
I smelled a cherry blossom recently and they do have an almondy scent. I'm looking forward to experience this scent. I will not buy it but I want to smell Olivier's creativity.
Its worth a sniff or two for sure but I believe it is not for everyone. The smell is not easy to love.
@@essence-tiallydacob9611 Yeah makes sense. Some scents can be extra difficult. I have to wear Anateus with discretion
Minute 17 … a little bit of a mix of BEL RESPIRO and CRISTALLE?!
I AM ALL IN!! ❤🥰😍🤩 (screaming!) 😂
But made warm… cuz Olivier fuzzies up the perfumes in a way which is totally his own… one can either like or dislike the style though…
Love ur videos!!! I watch them with joy ❤❤❤❤
Thank you freedombird 🥰✨💖
Great review! I finally tried it today! It reminds me a lot of Apres Londee by gurlain and a bit of L’heur blue as well. It is like a sweeter more powdery version of both. I am wondering what is the ingredient here that reminds me of the guerlain, do they have common ingrediants?
Incredible review 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you falconara 🙏🏻🥰💖
I sampled it TWICE today in Century City 💕 It really is lovely. And true to CHANEL. Soft almond with a pinch & splash of Chanel.
Its a beauty. Very delicate
@@essence-tiallydacob9611 I’m having a hard time justifying the purchase price. Although I’m sooooo tempted. Oh dear, oh dear…
So much anticipation 🌸💕🌟🌠💫 And on the day of the eclipse:)
Everything is holistic! The review of comete had to happen during the eclipse! 😉🙏🏻😭
I am buying this perfume tomorrow!
Enjoy it! Wishing you fun times with Comete 🥰💫✨
you give perfect perfume reviews for those who have to blind purchase
Thanks Holly 🥰✨🙏🏻 but please do not purchase this one blindly. This one is really difficult and might become quite divisive among perfume lovers alike. 💖
@@essence-tiallydacob9611 I am going to test it this week when I am back in BangKOK lol
I have two 75ml with batch code 9401 and one 200ml batch code 9502. Comete has been on sale, officially, in the US for less than a month and world wide less than six months. That's three batch codes, including the samples, released already. Is Chanel churring out batches that rapidly?
Don’t forget that this perfume was supposed to be launched last year originally… they might have had also some stock waiting to be distributed for a bit longer… plus its not uncommon to have a few batch codes for the world release if the batch codes vary so slightly.
I will give it another try after your beautiful review! But for the almond, I think nothing beats Louve by Serge Lutens 🐺
It keeps shifting gears. At the moment, several days after first impressions, the musks are more prominent and very reminiscent of 1957. They are both from the same family.
I’ve been waiting for this with bated breath, darling. I’m as excited about your review as I am about the perfume itself!! As soon as you said ‘dense’ I thought ‘A bottle will be with me on release date.’ (I wonder when that is in the UK?) I didn’t want just a straightforward, spring floral which is how Fragrantica kind of make it sound. I wanted a COMETE and it sounds like we get one. Loads of love, as always. You’re a living legend in the perfume community xx
Thank you so much leightonmueller 🥹🙏🏻💖💖💖
Hi Dacob, how are you doing?❤ I'm quite curious about this new release, not managing to get what it is about 🤔 , but my point is: I can take the lack of projection and longevity from Paris Venise, or Cristalle. But as soon as they charge you 500 bucks for a bottle, I'm getting tacky 😅 I'll definitely give this comete a try, but, I know I'm not going to buy it. Thank you for this video! 😊😘🤩
Thank you dear. Yeah, the prices are insane at this point. Really painful.
32:00 In that case you should try Black Oud by Monotheme Venezia, soft oud and labdanum, heliotrope and amber, is like an enbrace
Thank you for the tip but I really do not like oud. Very difficult for me to like it.
Ohhh the eclipse of it all! I’m living for the cosmic background Wugo Wugo darling! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 💫💫🤟🏻🌖🌖
🥰🥰✨✨✨💫💖
Dacob- If I were to say one descriptor that ties the traditional Chanel fragrances together is a certain waxiness. Do you know what I’m trying to say? You used the word “buttery,” which might be what I’m trying to say.
Is there a waxy quality to this new one?
Great first impression and analysis, as usual! Great job!
Hmm… waxiness… I think I know what you mean… maybe at a certain point it has that quality… but perhaps more resinous than waxy. Or maybe a bit of both properties together.
I almost went to test it yesterday, now I wish I had.
Hopefully you get to test it soon 🥰💖💫
Love it!! ❤
🥰💖
Bought this at the weekend.
Wishing you lot of fun times with Comete 🥰🎉
comète is pronounced c-oh m-ette (è rhymes with air). very excited about this release !!! thank you for your review, cannot wait to try it !!!!!!!! 🎉
I merged the American with the French pronunciation… haha… got a Frenglish version now… lol.
@@essence-tiallydacob9611 frenglish 😆 btw i am looking forward to any updates you may have on zouzou too 🤩
I love how I can almost smell it from my phone 🤪🥰
Haha, thank you Shikma 🙏🏻💖🥰
I’ve been dying to try this, which boutique did you go to? I asked the closest one to me and they don’t have it yet ugh
Hi Dacob. I have a question . Can I put my chanel Egoiste into the sun and let it macerate? I remember you mentioning putting n5 edp into the sun
Hi Sebastian, I would personally not put Egoiste into the sun to macerate.
I also loved it👍🏻
Its a beauty 🥰✨💫
How does Comete compare to Les Exclusifs Beige? Please let us know :)
Some people say comete reminds them of beige but to me comete is related to 1957 when the drydown hits with some of the same musks I smell out in 1957.
@@essence-tiallydacob9611 Thank you :) Cant wait until May 1st to get the Comete!!!
Would you ever review Armani prive perfumes?
I would 💖
@@essence-tiallydacob9611 I would love love love your opinion on the pink one. Tanzanite or something rather. Its so layered. But I am tossing up this one and Estee Lauder Infinite Sky.
Well I must try this . I will say I blind bought 1957 because I was absolutely sure I would love it . But it is the one Les Exclusifs that I dislike.
I am gonna try this one .
True , there are other brands with really insane prices ….
Thanks for the video , Dacob !❤❤
Thank you melanieng 🙏🏻💖 Yep, indeed, Chanel actually probably felt the need (and I am just speculating here) to have to keep up with the price range other niche and luxury perfume houses demanded for their fragrances, in order to not be perceived as lesser than. Allegedly.
It's Chanel, baby. Wugo, Wugo.
Always ✨✨✨💫💫
Hi, is this in US boutiques already? Thanks
Its slowly trickling into boutiques worldwide. Official launch is May 2024 but some boutiques already received it and if they did receive it, they will not showcase it on the sales floor unless you specifically ask for it. If you ask for it, they might bring a bottle from the back to let you test it and eventually purchase it.
It's a sparkling effervescent kind of scent?
Not really. It sparkles now and then but its more dense. Aldehydes bubble it up but not in the usual way we are used to from Chanel’s other perfume offerings.
I so cannot wait to watch this!
Thank you Johanna 🙏🏻✨💖
Thank you for your review! I look forward to trying it out for myself. It sounds like if Comete were a zodiac sign, it'd be an Aries: intense and competitive!
Thank you dear. Well… its released during the Aries period kind of so maybe it makes sense in a way. Haha.
Its expensive. I love that ❤
It smells luxurious
Seriously though… these other perfume houses need to slow their roll with releases. No more than one a quarter maybe 2 a year. Its out of control!
I agree, and actually I am happy to get one new release every year or two. Makes it more special and magical for me. It also gives me more time to discover and appreciate the perfume that was just released, without putting pressure on me to already have to run out and buy yet another new release just a month after this release. I like to have time to let a perfume simmer and talk to me. Its a very long process, hence why I do not buy many new perfumes. I need a lot of time to let a perfume really open up to me. And I take that time too. Time is the biggest luxury and I take it. 💖💫🌅
I must have missed it, how did you get your hands on it. I can’t find it for sale anywhere?
Its the magic of the solar eclipse! One second its there and the next its gone… 😉💖
I own it also, it's called having great connections with sales associates 😊
So funny, right after I saw Dacob’s review, my San Antonio associate texted me
That it was in. I just picked it up! I’m a happy camper. The opening is not my favorite but after 10 minutes, it becomes slightly sweet, airy, and elegant. Thank you for the review.
Hey Dacob, I recently found an old No. 5 extrait probably from the 1960's but it has a sticker on the shrink wrap that says T.S.S.A. Could you tell me what that means?
Would you say it is as almondy as Orgasmo by Hilde Soliani or the almond in Psychedelic Love?
Hi Dacob, do you know how this compares to a Celine Dans Paris type of sent? It's also a very heliotrope and musk type of affair...Any idea of when this will be out in the EU? Still no word in Italy, the sales assistants are treating this as if it's the second coming of Christ and no word on a date.
They are due a new male pillar. Hopefully, this year.
They most certainly are due a new make pillar… but lets see… seems as though they might have postponed the release to another year… allegedly…
