What a delight. Smart haircuts, chaps! Your 10,000 followers have excellent taste, and I'm chuffed to bits that you've been wearing two of mine. So many samples you must smell. (Did that sound a bit like Yoda?)
You guys are delightful, it’s a crime that you don’t have at least a million subs. I don’t always agree with you but i do respect your reviews and you have introduced to me some fragrances that I’ve never heard of that I’ve purchased and loved. Thank you
Thanks Elisabeth. I respect your taste and opinions; it’s important that we can all have different opinions. We never claim to be reviewers or experts, we just share our thoughts, and welcome others to share theirs. Thanks for your support.
I started watching Wafts from The Loft about a month ago. You guys have completely changed my outlook on fragrances. Pegwell Bay and Cape Heartache are my new favourites and yesterday I managed to buy a 100ml bottle of Mouchoir de Monsieur on eBay for £86!
It’s because of your videos that I started to get into fragrances. I first saw your video on BORTNIKOFF. And your praise for sir Winston. And sir Winston was my fragrance in my collection. Thankyou Thankyou.
Good to see you gentlemen again, and very pleased to see Cabochard among your most worn fragrances. I have that version, and it is among my very favorite inexpensive revelations, the most smooth, sophisticated, and thoroughly delightful green chypre. I"ve been in Amberland lately, but I think I'll wear Cabochard tomorrow.
My father owned a silver cloud and I will always remember the smell of it’s lovely sweet leather. That sweet leather scent is also present in my vintage cabochard bath oil, the rose, iris, galbanum and leather are so beautifully balanced in this formulation. I wear it when I prepare myself to tackle my garden during these cold winter months. Perfect.
oak moss can still be used in perfumery today, scientist have managed to find a way to leave separate certain harmful stuffs in oak moss. But still quite a small amount is allowed to be used in perfumes.
Welcome back! You're right about cabochard is truly a unisex scent! Bernard chant the perfumer of cabochard later created aramis which is the men version of cabochard!👍 Cheerio🥂 And have a blast for 2022💥
I have tried some of Fort and Manle. I love the one you tried but also Charlatan, it's a funky jasmine with rose and chocolate 🌹the only thing is I don't think they really last on skin
They don't last long, you're right. I was thinking about buying a custom heavily concentrated bottle of Fatih Sultan Mehmed (you can buy custom concentration bottles from Rasei Fort if you email) but I bought a custom concentration bottle of Suleyman le Magnifique from someone on Basenotes (I don't know the concentration) and it doesn't seem to last much longer than the regular version, so I'm not sure. Fatih Sultan Mehmed is one of the best things I've ever smelled though so I'll probably end up doing it.
Fab to see you back! I’ve been wearing Le lion a lot- kind of feel it’s a bit of an HG…. Also woody by olfactory studios, peau ailleurs by Starck, Kilauea by Olympic Orchids and baikal leather by Nicolaï. Looking forward to more vids! X
Ah I adore Le Lion. I always buy all my Chanel fragrances direct from Chanel. While I’m not a huge fan of Chanel’s regular line of fragrances, I adore the Les Exclusives, with Coromadel, Le Lion and Gardenia being my favorites. But I haven’t sampled all of them, so I may fall in love with more . I need a huge bottle of Le Lion
I'd love to try Sarah's - Take me to the River. Unfortunately, I can't find it anywhere here in the US for purchase. I recently bought Wash Me in the Water and absolutely love it. I also have Black Velvet Cafe, and that is a serious fragrance! Not for the faint of heart! But a stunning oud scent.
Great to see you both and I hope all is well. You reminded me of how glorious Under My Skin is. Put it on straight away. Beautiful. Powder over filth! Did you hear that FB's taking all the natural animalics out of her perfumes and replacing them with synthetics? Makes me want to hold onto the formulation I have like grim death.
@@WaftsfromTheLoft She kept it all on the down low (I think it was just civet and a few other things she used). She mentioned she was changing to exclusively synthetic/vegan ingredients in an interview a few months ago. Again, she doesn't make a big deal out of it.
Welcom back fellas, fabulous list from both ,loving Ideo got prison blues and have the two you mentioned Dan ,oh and Joe ,yes Midnight in Paris is indeed discontinued do take a look at what the go for on eBay etc ,think you will get a bit of a shock .cheers boys have a great 2022 🇮🇪🇬🇧✌️
Welcome back guys liked the selection of fragrances & content some interesting woodys notes over the last 2 months I have been wearing IMAGINARY AUTHORS Memoirs of a Trespasser, CARNER BARCELONA EL Born, AMOUAGE Jubilation XXV, Issey Miyake Noir Ambre, Bentley for Men Intense, Guerlain Habit Rogue edp, Alexandria's Alexandria 007, Alhambra Ethnic Oud , Memo African Leather & PRIN ESHU all are very good for the colder months. See you both on the next 1
i only recently received a bottle of Moments by Motif Olfactif - although i can't believe it now, i didn't care for this fragrance the first time i wore it. i'll being keeping an eye on this house's creations.
Another fantastic review guys! After watching this review I got both the 2019 Gres Cabochard EDP & EDT. Both are really great! The EDT is more green and shimmer in the top. Just Wow! I would say EDT for daytime and EDP for night. They did a fantastic benchmark repair of Cabochard! And the price is ridiculous. Do try the EDT. Please make a comparison vid! This stuff is gold! Unbelievable. Thanks for the review guys!!!
I agree! I have completely changed my perfume buying habits. I prefer to buy sample sets and wearing in different circumstances and experiencing the full opening-heart-drydown before forming an opinion. Thank you sharing your gems! Under My Skin is one of my favorites/most worn as well. Still haven't tried some of the houses you mention.
Would love to see a side by side EDT EDP Cabochard vid pretty please! The EDT really smells closer to my vintage! Blew my mind. So green and mean. But the dry down. Ahhhh!
And what a treat it was to have you back! I’m wearing something from a sample I was given in Harvey Nicks. Valour by Robert Graham. Heard of it? That would be a no I guess. ‘The art of audacity for the bold and dynamic’ and ‘Knowledge. Wisdom. Truth’ it helpfully says on the card. The bottle pictured is beyond hideous. A kind of medicine flask topped with a Penhaligon’s-style plastic bulldog though even more badly realised. I expected this to be scrubbed BUT it’s not bad. Ambroxan (obvs.) softened with Clary Sage and a coffee note. Worth a punt if it rocks up in TKMaxx though I’m saving my money for Salome…
@@WaftsfromTheLoft OK, I firmly grasped the wrong end of the stick then, my apologies! I thought he'd said Gres asked him to consult on the process of reformulation itself.
Midnight in Paris is far from cheap now. I got into this hobby after it was discontinued and I couldn’t touch a bottle of it. Curious on the Gres. It reviews well every site I see it. What Aramis does it resemble? 900? Not familiar with that one but at that price would be worth the blind buy. Nice to see you gentlemen back!
I think the oud used in Bojnokopf is Ensar's Aroha Kyaku, which is my favorite oud that I've smelled so far. Have you guys tried Rasei Fort's Kolonya? It's really great. I wish that he'd make more of it.
@@WaftsfromTheLoft any chance for your review of ALD's Civet de Nuit? Not sure if it's only me being less and less suspectible to his marketing techniques (like with that 100y old civet paste that no one has an idea what would be benefits of when I asked them as opposed to just using 5 or 10y matured one like everyone else) or he's just running out of good ideas. All of his recent releases I've tried were rather unremarkable for me personally.
@@samueleisenberg372 we are meeting up on the 27th, and will review it then. I bought and sold Manly and Russian Musk II. I definitely prefer CdeNuit, though I don’t think it will necessarily please all AleD fans. Is feels more SP than RA to me
@@WaftsfromTheLoft great! I am always looking forward to your reviews of brands from this artisan segment. Hard to find someone sharing their honest thoughts not influenced by prices and hype surrounding these brands.
I was so pleased to find a new vid uploaded by you two! I've been reaching for these for the last few months: Floris Leather Oud, Patchouli By Nino Amaddeo (one of the best patchouli I have ever smelt), Guerlain Santal Royal, Knize Ten original. I'm about to pull the trigger on the 30ml size bottle of Nishane "Ani" but it's a blind buy. Do you have any thoughts on Ani or have you smelled it before? Cheers-
Hearing the word dildoic makes me realize I’m in the right place in a way (among so many other reasons). Absolutely I’ve always thought that about Cuir Mauresque, or I also picture those purple jiggly fishing lures of probably the same or similar material. How funny.
Have you tried the Exclusive Siam Collection from Prin? I'd love to see your review on it, and Kinnari is highly recommended if you enjoyed what he did with florals on Mandarava
Hooray! We have missed you! The chat, the insights, the cameraderie and the fun! We get a whole hour too...! I've been wearing some funny ones of late....

OMG guys! I just found out my Under My Skin is among your most worn! I am so honoured 😍
What a delight. Smart haircuts, chaps! Your 10,000 followers have excellent taste, and I'm chuffed to bits that you've been wearing two of mine. So many samples you must smell. (Did that sound a bit like Yoda?)
Thanks Sarah! Yes, that must have happened whilst we were away (the subscribers, not the haircuts).
They’re back! And 10,000 subscribers! 🥳🙌
I know, I’d think that happened whilst we were away!
@@WaftsfromTheLoft guys, I need your help in identifying a fragrance! I am London-based so can send you a sample by RM. How can I contact you?
You guys are delightful, it’s a crime that you don’t have at least a million subs. I don’t always agree with you but i do respect your reviews and you have introduced to me some fragrances that I’ve never heard of that I’ve purchased and loved. Thank you

Lovely! I need a 2023 version of this video ♥
I started watching Wafts from The Loft about a month ago. You guys have completely changed my outlook on fragrances. Pegwell Bay and Cape Heartache are my new favourites and yesterday I managed to buy a 100ml bottle of Mouchoir de Monsieur on eBay for £86!
Wow, great eBay find!
You guys are the only ones in which I would give up my hour to watch...do not be strangers.
Thanks! Hopefully we will be around a bit more now
Listening to you is like transporting to an universe of pure aroma and elegance. Thank you, gentlemen.
Well, thank you!
You guys need to try Patch from And Fragrances - I'm obsesses. My favourite patchouli ever.
It’s because of your videos that I started to get into fragrances. I first saw your video on BORTNIKOFF. And your praise for sir Winston. And sir Winston was my fragrance in my collection. Thankyou Thankyou.
There’s a lot to live from the house of Bortnikoff. Enjoy!

Another great green chypre is Dusita's le sillage blanc.

Glad you're enjoying it!
Glad your back! (My wallet not so much ;) ) ps. Miguel Matos was an advisor on the Cabochard remake, there was a few people involved, its a Stunner!
Yes, someone else has pointed that out. I’ve just been watching his interview with Mr Smelly when he talks about it. It’s amazing work
@@WaftsfromTheLoft Thats a fun interview, I love his own line of perfumes to.
Hallelujah you guys are back , Great bud as always 💪😉👍
I love the train impression 🤢🤣 Some very enticing fragrance descriptions, you’ve peaked my curiosity. Love your work fellas, welcome back.
Thanks!
Congratulations on the 10k subscribers. Long overdue in my opinion.

Miguel Matos did that new Cabochard reformulation
Ah! I had no idea! Is that common knowledge?
He talked about it in an interview on Mr Smelly's channel, so it's public, if not widely-known
@@xtrivo2 ahX thanks for the info
Ah, I’ve just watched the interview. Seems he didn’t reformulate it, but was consulted to evaluate the reformulation.

Great list intrigued by the house of TRNP curious to know which fragrance from your list is Patchouli dominant. Thanks a million
Great upload, surprisingly the fragrance I've been reaching for is liz taylors passion a nice cheapie that's has a depth
