Episode 315 of Love At First Scent
This was a TH-cam Live broadcast streamed on Thursday 29th September 2022. Unscripted. Unedited. Unrehearsed.
In this episode, I was joined by the Creative Experience Officer at Amouage, Renaud Salmon, for a lightning-quick voyage across nearly the entire Amouage range: 45 perfumes in 45 minutes (well, sort of), all of which are now in the Collector’s Box that has just been released by the brand.

Although Persolaise doesn't really have time to give his true thoughts on everything (in addition to being sat by the creative director0, i thought it'd be helpful for me to have an index to see how he feels about the Amouage offerings for reference because up to this point he doesn't have videos speaking about many of these.

Oh my goodness, how long did it take you to do this?? Thank you 🙏
@@Persolaise Not too long 😅. I hadn't watched the whole way through yet (I was maybe 15 mins in), so as I sat down to watch the whole way through I just had a notepad open on my computer to jot down the timestamps of when the perfumes were mentioned. It'll help me in the future as I go through Amouage's releases and want to know your thoughts on something (because I will surely forget otherwise).
@@Persolaise I'm appreciative that you go back and acknowledge, pin, heart, and reply to comments from a 9 month old video.
@@aarond9563 It's the least I can do.
I love the dynamic between you and Renaud, you should host a talk show or podcast together. 😂
Be careful what you wish for.
Thanks for watching.
I agree! It's really very enjoyable to watch them together.
I’ve been wanting a thorough introduction to the entire Amouage collection. This is perfect. And you are the perfect person to break news and announce this set. What a beautiful gift for any fragrance lover! Just love you, Persolaise!
You’re too kind, Kim. Thanks very much.
This was so enjoyable - two knowledgeable people with an undeniable chemistry.
Thanks very much indeed, Mark.
This was everything , you and Renaud are wonderful together and it was just such a joy to watch . Thank you 😊x
Thanks, Angela. That means a lot.
Thanks, Angela. That means a lot.
Thanks, Angela. That means a lot.
Thanks, Angela. That means a lot.
So happy to have catched the last bit live. A wonderful treat to see Mr. Salmon and you together!
It was certainly a treat for me. Thanks for watching.
Now you're treating us, M. Persolaise! Thank you and Renaud for this. This is definitely going to be a Christmas gift for me! 🤩🥳🤸
Ooh, it would make such a wonderful gift. Thanks for watching.
Ooh, it would make such a wonderful gift. Thanks for watching.
Such a dynamic duo! It was a pleasure to watch. Thank you both!
Thanks very much indeed.
This video was a treat. I stumbled upon 50% amouages this afternoon at a highend shop closing down. I couldn't believe it. I have all the secret garden collection along with sunshine woman already because they were more summer appropriate. And i have multiple on the wish list. So I snapped epic woman and reflection woman, I know both well. I was torn between Gold woman and Dia woman. I am not an aldehyde person, but I am finding a comfort in appreciating them more and more.
As a Middle Eastern living in Australia, amouage really has a magnetic pull and a very grounding essence.
Thank you for this!
That’s quite a find - well done, and thanks for watching.
This was Amazing!
Thank you both so much ❤️🙏💖
Thank YOU for watching.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you, both! Looking forward to those new ones.
Thanks very much indeed.
Absolutely love any time Renaud shows up and talks. Slightly fanboying i suppose. You both have a great rapport and I cant wait to try the new ones.
That’s very kind. And yes, I hope you get to try the new ones soon.
Well this was a fabulous treat to help with the return from holiday blues! Lots to think (and dream) about - thank you very, very much.
Ah, so glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
Surprising and exciting indeed. Need to watch this again - so much to pay attention to 🙌
Thanks, Purvi.
Amouage is great but the camaraderie between the 2 gents is everything 😊
That's very sweet, thank you.
Loved this!! So special and fun!!
Thanks very much indeed.
Wish I could like this twice. Thank you for this review! Have been waiting for this. 💗
Very kind, Sue. Thank you.
I 'm devoted to the Opus VII and how brazingly untamed and fierce it is. Fierce and imposing without being ostentatious. I think it' s the most brazen scent I own, so emboldening. What an experience! You have to be open for something like that - unexpected, strangely harmonious and wild.
This was a great edition of Love at First Scent, I wish you had more time to elaborate on some of the scents. And, as noted by others, you two are great together as a team, Mr. Renaud often more on the matter-of-fact side and Mr. Persolaise a bit more impressionistic.
Thank you, Sanja. Renaud is a great guest - and yes, he’s always precise and measured.
Thank you so much!!! Thank you, Renaud! Thank you, Mr.Persolaise! You are wondeful, both of you! Love Amouage, I usually wear Epic and Jubilation25, these are my favourite, but I love all! Thank you again!❤
And thank YOU for watching, Ioana.
Absolutely great video!
Thanks very much indeed.
Amazed at how you tried 45 scents in one go! Amouage fragrances are super smooth but I can only get through about 10 in one go, then I'd start getting confused 😂 well done 👏 and thanks to you both!
Not at all. Thank YOU for watching.
Fantastic video. So many I still have to try....
One scent at a time… 😉
Greatly done guys
Thank you 😊
oh isnt he adorable! that looks like fun and im jealous!! so many of the sound wonderful and people on a budget who have a hard time making up their mind....can now have it all!
Thanks very much - yes, it’s a very tempting set, isn’t it? I’m considering saving up my own pennies for it.
Very nice moment watching both of you. So nice to see you two together again! Still love the dynamics between Renaud and you. It was funny to see how you got "drunk" smelling while Renaud stayed calm and stoic. ;-)
Amouage scents are complex, rich and fascinating! Actually Reflection Man was the 1st I smelled of the brand and I quite liked it at the time. Memoir as well, it drew me in and felt like a magic potion to me. My fav Amouages: Epic Woman (an almost signature scent, absolute favorite), Ubar, Jubilation25, Lyric Woman, Opus IV, Sunshine Woman and Material. Although I must say that Material is not a vanilla to me. More of a very balsamic, resinous tonka-benzoin scent. It will be a pleasure to wear this Autumn!
Hmmm...new scents! Exciting news. But a bit difficult to smell them in Paris. When does Amouage intend to open a boutique in Paris?
Thanks for watching, Suleika. The thought of an Amouage boutique in Paris is wonderful.
How has TH-cam kept this video from me all this while? I found your reaction to Guidance quite funny. My reaction at first sniff was disorientation after having smelled all the spicy, resinous, floral Amouages. I assumed my nose had gone blind and called my daughter over to ask “what even IS this, has it gone bad?”. I’ve never been a fan of pear note in perfumes which “G” has and the hazelnut comes at you without warning. I put it away and was convinced fragrance influencers hyping it had gone nutty. Once I realized it was the fragrance that was nutty, I learned to appreciate it, albeit, over several tries. It was the same way for me with the saffron in BR540. It took me a while. I still haven’t gotten to the point of liking Delina. It smells like a bag of chemicals to me. This is why I’ve been sticking to classic Amouages and Guerlains which have never failed to please at first sniff. I wish the Guidance bottle was signaling what’s inside a little better because pink doesn’t make me think of pear, hazelnut, incense, cassis, or woods which is what I get most from the perfume with the pink florals really only operating in background.
Ah, yes, I ought to go back and check my reaction to the four 'unknown' ones.
Thanks very much for watching.
From all my perfums my daughter only like six and three are from Amouage her favorite is Journey Woman every time I used it she complements my she say that smell like vacation. The other is Sunshine and now she tell me that Honor 43 is beautiful. She is fourteen years old
A young lady with great taste.
Persolaise! Beautiful video and I really need that shirt you've got !
Thank you so much, Yasmin.
EPIC vid 💝 Quentin Bisch is an absolute stud muffin, can’t wait to try the new ones 👑🤩
I suspect you'll find them interesting.
Many thanks for watching.
Persolaise, another EPIC fragrance video.
Ha! Thank you 😊
Mr. P! I have been doing a lot of research on interlude man and find myself frequently coming back to this video to find more influence by your reaction! you've inspired me to purchase several fragrances through your channel. Interlude man will be the next :)
It is an absolute must-try. One of my all-time favourites. Thanks very much for watching.
I have a gorgeous bottle of Amouage Gold Woman that I bought from a magazine ad years ago and it still smells beautiful.
It’s a very special piece of work.
Thank you so much for watching.
Wow that was e p i c 🥰🙌🏻 …and ha! No it is never too much Renaud and Mr. P. 😂 I could watch the two of you sniffing and discussing scents together for hours and not be bored. I’m only sorry that I wasn’t able to watch it live.. thank you both for sharing this 🙏🏻🌸
That’s too kind, Annemieke. Thanks very much for the warm, supportive words.
I agree! A very cheerful moment! Very much appreciated in these difficult/dark times.
👏👏👏well done Mr. P….. Renauld is 💚
Thanks very much. Yes, he’s a great sport.
I very much enjoyed watching this video in the current downtime. I'm playing catch-up. I own a bottle of Journey Man so I'm going to be biased to liking it - dark it may be but it's actually a joy to wear in the heat of the summer. My favourite Amouage is not in this set, but I'm beyond pleased to note that it's back in production: Silver Man!
Ah, I’m so pleased for you.
Thank you for watching.
I have just tried overture w on my skin a few days ago. It somehow reminded me of XS black by Paco Rabanne. It smelled very beautiful and sensual in the beginning but it dried down miserably like oxidized fat on my skin unfortunately.
Oh dear. Mind you, oxidised fat is quite a vivid description.
This man’s impromptu laugh is so cute.
😂❤🥰
Thanks for watching.
Right on!
ty eh
Thanks for watching.
wow, just wow
Thank you.
Wonderful video but I don't envy you pushing through 45 fragrances in such a short time. Amouage is a brand that when they hit the spot they really hit the spot. I own only 2 but enjoy them both very much,, Sunshine and beach Hut. I really want to smell Royal Tobacco as i am becoming quite a fan of tobacco. I also want to get my nose on Jubilation as I like the idea of a regal perfume. Anyway, great video.. 😁
Thanks very much, Gazza. Yes, 45 was quite a challenge!
I also find Honour Woman young and pretty. It’s a stunning fresh white floral
Wonderful. I love how we respond differently to scents.
@@Persolaise yes, scent is the most subjective of experiences!
Wow!💐💐🪷
Many thanks for watching.
Wow, this video really has made want to purchase that magnificent gift box, shame the Amouage website doesn't ship to Spain. Will have to find an alternative way.
Oh - I wonder if the box will make it to Spanish shops.
Wow!
😊
Wooh, what a journey, man! I sat down to watch a third of this video and got up over an hour later. I have the same shirt as Renaud haha! (I like yours more though). Also, I don't think this was addressed, but why was Sunshine sequestered from the boxed congregation? What gives? It's one of my favourites (along with Epic "Man", Gold "Woman", and Honour "Man") 😭
Thanks very much indeed for watching.
I don’t know the answer to the Sunshine question, but perhaps Renaud will be able to help us out, if he sees this comment.
47:31 - eh, still don't understand why they stopped producing Opus VI. I always thought of it as a bestseller among the Opus line. Fortunately I have secured one bottle and I am thinking of buying another as a backup. Hope they'll change their mind! Besides that I am a great Amouage fan - I have Opus VI, Epic Man, Jubilation Man, Journey Man and Interlude Man from the very first year of production - 2012 :)
Thanks for watching. Quite a few people have said that about Opus VI to me.
After listening to you I am going to try to buy honor 43 probably my husband have a different opinion. Because the only option that is important for me about my perfums is the one my husband gives
I hope you like it. Thanks again for watching.
My husband give this for my birthday I was so happy a big surprise because is not easy to fine this in México, I can say I am in love is so perfect. A difrence between the Honor and this Honor 43. And the best part and the biggest surprised is that my children like it. I love the green, the with flowers and the creamy I am so happy for this one I can say is a 10/10 right now the weather is so hot and humid that I am enjoying this beauty smell like heaven 🤍
Did you enjoy wearing Royal Tobacco? How do you think it ranks compared to the other Amouage scents?
For the moment, I won’t be adding anything to what I said in the video.
Thanks for watching.
Purpose is my favourite too
Lately, I’ve been veering towards Search.
Thanks for watching.
@@Persolaise I will sample Search and Meander soon. I have heard such mixed reviews.
Great video Mr. P and Renaud!
So Mr. P, if you had to pick one to own what would it be, Meander or Boundless?
Thanks !
Oh my goodness… probably Meander, I think.
@@Persolaise Me too, although I did suspend my purchase in favour of Overture Man which opens and settles down beautifully. But Meander has a lovely meditative quality
Thanks for your answer, Mr. P :)
Something is happening with amouage and my skin I have Journey, Lyric, Honor they turn in skin sent in a few hour but Sunshine dos not las even two hours and I love them all but I'm struggling with that. My husband dos bot say much about my perfums but I remember when I used Honor for the first time he say that smell stunning, I can appreciate the quality of the ingredients, the flowers, smells like a millioner, travel, knowledge, culture Lady but not for know you need a few years for that one like other twenty ( I am fifty years) but really is a beautiful perfum😂😂 is the first time in twenty four years he say something like that
Thanks for taking the time to write.
Interesting penguin shirt, Renaud.
Thanks for watching.
Hi Persolaise. When you tried the sample for "Journey Man" during this video, did it seem like it had been reformulated? Also, which ones seemed to be the most obviously reformulated, and was "Journey Man" one of them? I'm sorry to take your time with this.
Thanks for watching. I’d have to do a side by side comparison before I can comment.
@@Persolaise Thank you anyways.
Do you guys talk about Sunshine as well in the video? If so at what minute? Thanks!
Honest answer: I can’t remember. But the full list of scents in the box will be on the Amouage website.
Epic
Pun intended
Thank you 😂 👍
Just bought a new bottle of Jubilation25 man. What a huge disappointment. I compared my old and new side by side. The reformulation has made a masterpiece into an average fragrance. The new version is «thinner», less complex and lack depth. It appears more synthetic. I first heard about the dramatic change of Jubilation (and Epic) at Les Oderants podcast. I thought it couldn’t be that bad and ordered a bottle. I should have listened. Amouage has long been a favourite, that’s probably why I got so disappointed. I asked Amouage about this, but no reply (surprise). Brands should be transparent if they sell another product in the same bottles.
It’s difficult for me to comment without knowing more about your original bottle. I guess some changes are inevitable. Thanks very much for watching.
It’s difficult for me to comment without knowing more about your original bottle. I guess some changes are inevitable. Thanks very much for watching.
@@Persolaise changes may be inevitable if it is IFRA related or issues related to sourcing. However, this new version smells cheaper and more synthetic. The old juice leave the skin oily, the new juice doesn’t. Less oil content? It is sad that such good fragrances are destroyed, but more sad is that Amouage isn’t transparent. They should inform customer about they’re selling another product under the same name. Dior, for instance, name their reformulation after year (Dior homme sport 2012, 2015 etc). This should be an obvious ethical practice. As I said, I’ve heard about the significant change in Jub25 and Epic at the Les oderants podcast. I should have listened. I come to know that Amouage reformulation issues, in particular Jubilation, are a common understaning in «fragcomm».
I love your channel btw and this video was great. I just received my new jubilation so I guess I am a bit provoked 😄 It is important to tell the world about reformulations, because most brands do not.
Thanks for this great great video ! I love so much Amouage perfumes, i should be a millionaire but unfortunately... 🤣
Yes, they’re certainly budget breakers. Thanks very much for watching 😊
I’m a women and I have and love Gold Man. Like it better than the woman’s version
Keep enjoying it.
Thanks for watching.
With this new set now I have to choose between this or get Reflection 45
Oh gosh. Tough choice!
@@Persolaise it is . And it's driving me crazy because I want to smell the newest one in that set
Easy choice, just go get reflection…. Too many samples is a headache!
@@illiona3289 I do perfumery every day for 5 hours and I'm the kind of person who loves smelling different scents and it takes alot to give me a headache. And I want to save up for that set for the new ones but also want a full bottle of Reflection 45 😬 going crazy here 😜
Honour man is best
That’s a very, very good one.
Am I the only person who sprays on the holding part (wide part) of the blotter? I feel that spraying at the tip wastes a lot of spray.
It really doesn’t matter. The practice goes back to the days of dipping the paper into bottles with narrow necks.
Aggg please say more about the new fragrances! Lol
Perhaps one day, soon…
Side note: where did you get that shirt?
That one is from Zara. But it’s quite old now.
Black Iris is fantastic. I own both a bottle of it and the original Interlude Man. These are very special scents for me.
Agreed.
Thank you for watching.
Looks like a full bottle of amouage exploded onto his shirt.
Oh dear 😂
Thanks for watching.
No Ubar?!
Not in this set, sadly.
RIP Ubar, Fate, Beloved... I'm incredibly disappointed at Amouage's new direction!
Thanks very much for watching.
