  • Have you ever wondered if you were pronouncing a particular brand correctly? With many fragrance brands and luxury brands having French influence, we thought it would be a great idea to invite Hugo Jacomet from the Parisian Gentleman to offer instruction. Hugo is an acclaimed author and a leading influential voice of sartorial goods, spotlighting world-class artisans around the world.

      @@Franeeky Not if you know the language itself and you hear reviewers trying to pronounce a name and it is totaly off. They school us about the fragrances or houses and they should know how to pronounce a name the way it's supposed to be.
      Imagine someone who doens't speak English and tries to pronounce your name, or just a centence and it is not even close to how it's supposed to be. For example, I've never come across a foraigner who's able to pronounce my name correctly. True; it's funny, but in this case reviewers should do there homework. It's like taking French or Italian class but you got a teacher who doesn't know the language.

    So glad my high school French came in handy! (32 now) I’m not great at speaking French but at least now there’s confirmation that I did not commit any blunder with these names. 😅 Just need to work on my “r” a bit more. As an Eastern European with quite a difficult name to pronounce, I have an enormous respect for all brands and people who care about staying true to their roots or/and are paying tribute to a culture/important figure by pronouncing a name correctly (or as close as possible).

    Wonderful stuff, Hugo is a legend and an icon.

If I saw Hugo on the street I would imagine he would wear something like Eau Sauvage or Caron Pour Un Homme or maybe even Givenchy Xeryus . PS I just ordered Hugo's book " The Parisian Gentleman" and cannot wait to read it.

    I live in the Deep South where there are still a lot of old French place names, but nobody pronounces them according to French rules. The town in Mississippi called Gautier is pronounced GO-shay, Saucier is pronounced SO-shay. D’Iberville is pronounced Dee-EYE-ber-ville. In New Orleans Chartres street is pronounced CHAR-ters street. There are many examples. However, Mobile Alabama must always be correctly pronounced Mo-BEEL. Once the Anglos moved in they largely refused to pronounce French.

    I love Hugo´s testimony, I shared it to several friends... regarding French pronunciation, I think one must make an effort to pronounce words as closely to the original as possible. I don´t know if English has the same pronounciation rule as in Spanish (my native toungue), where you should pronounce foreign names as if read in Spanish, which I find grotesque. So, thank you M. Jacomet for helping the anglophone´s learn how to properly pronounce in French.

    • @simplyrowen
      @simplyrowen ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I don’t know if English has a *rule* per se, in that regard, but I think it’s just the normal thing most people do around the world. When you only speak your native language, you have absolutely nowhere else to pull from, so you read it like it’s in your language.
      Everyone I’ve met from around the world does this. However, I agree with you, we should make an effort to pronounce it correctly and respect where the words come from by at least researching and attempting it.

    • @Zeeangelofdeath
      @Zeeangelofdeath ปีที่แล้ว

      But that’s actually more accurate to pronounce as if it’s in Spanish than in America English because Spanish for the most part still retains its European pronunciation because of its influence it has had from its neighbors

      @tracyc.1005 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The idea that a non-native speaker is going to be able to pronounce words in another language perfectly or even get their tongue to move in the correct manner isn't realistic. I have known many people for whom English is not their first language and they will NEVER sound like a native speaker when they pronounce anything. I simply grant them grace and understand their intention or ask for clarification. I loved the video! Some words involved a guttural sound that doesn't exist in English which makes it difficult. Perfect example is Guerlain...not happening lol, but I'll buy it.
