I really enjoyed this one with the historical context, detail and glam. For me, L' Eau d'Issey by Issey Miyake is also an iconic perfume. Puristic, light and yet very elegant.
Totally agree! Also for me it's iconic because Mel B wore it when she was in the Spice Girls, so if that doesn't elevate it to iconic 90s status, I don't know what does!
Justine, i am not fashion guy... I teach literature (Russian literature particularly). I was interested in french fashion many months ago, and subscribed. However, I keep watching your videos. And I must say that it's just a pure delight to see how passionately you tell stories. Thank you for the video😍
My introduction to high-end fragrance came sometime in the 60s when my brother bought me a bottle of Chanel No. 5 when I was 18. I wore that fragrance for years until I discovered Bill Blass in the 80s and I loved that fragrance so much. I used to get THE question all the time, "What are you wearing?" I think BB didn't become a classic because not enough was put into the marketing over the years. I think I remember Catherine Deneuve being the face of BB, but I could be wrong. I thought of it as the face of the classic woman. I now wear Marc Jacobs' Daisy Love and at age 73, I think it may be my final choice (took me a very long time), but who knows what I may discover in my 90s.
I grew up in the 80s and that was a great decade for perfumes. Fashion magazines came in the mail reeking of gorgeous perfumes. It gave the magazine experience another dimension that is sadly missing now. But the fragrances of the 80s are the most significant for me: obsession, giorgio, red door, coco, fendi, poison by dior
Lol, tastes vary. I worked with a woman who drenched herself in Giorgio. By the end of every day I was ill. The very mention of it still makes my stomach heave!
@@daljordan8921 any perfume that is applied too liberally would stink. The problem was that she wore too much of it as to make it overpowering. You should have asked her to wear less. But i think the 80s was the last decade of perfume wafting in work hallways. In the 90s it was common to see "perfume may be worn as long as it is not excessive" in business dress codes.
Just for clarification, the Viktor & Rolf Flower Bomb is actually inspired by a hand grenade, not a diamond (that would be Wish by Chopard). Great information Justine. Fun and interesting. Thank you
My grandmother wore 4711 cologne and as a child I adored the smell. My daughter recently bought a bottle and it instantly transported me back to days spent with my darling grandmother 🥰
My mother wears L'air du Temps and I cannot imagine her without that perfume. It also lasts forever. Sometimes my mother would pass me something of her clothes and even after two - three washes it still had this scent. I'm 42 and as long as I remember myself, this fragrance always follows her.
Mon Guerlain is fabulous. It says Love/Enchanted Nights/Starlight/Exotic/Erotic dreams. Please don't ever change it! I loved Femme by Rochas for 40 years, so mysterious...I switch between the two. As a girl I loved Tabu by Dana. I think it was Spanish? I wish I could experience that one again.
@@CJ-bn6gf Tabu is still made. I saw it at Walmart over Christmas. Not sure if it's year round. The Vermont Country Store website/catalogue might have it. Unfortunately at least the one in Walmart is made in China.....who knows what it's made of 😨.
Dune, Diorissimo & Dolce Vita by Dior definitely iconic too. Coco and Coco Noir by Chanel, Magie Noire by Lancome. In older times people had their own "scent". My grandmother wore Femme of Rochas and Fleur de Rocaille by Caron. My mom Rive Gauche by YSL for everyday and Joy by Patou for special occasions. I've loved fragrance since I was 5 years old and always asked for perfumes as presents hehe. For my 8th birthday I got a 100ml of Charlie, I finished it in 2 weeks hahaha.First "proper" perfume at 12 White Linen by E. Lauder In the 80's you HAD to wear Giorgio or Anais Anais. Late 80's Colors by Benetton and Vice Versa by YSL. Early 90's Lauren by Ralph Lauren. Pleasures, Nina, Chance, 5th Avenue, Escada, and many many more that have formed part of my fragrance journey :D
I agree about Light Blue’s potential. Guerlain’s Mitsouko should be on this list. Released in 1919. Not as popular as Chanel No. 5, but a definite contender. ♥️
@@fredadockrell1862 love l'heure bleu! Well she can't include them all, especially as she managed to put out a wide retrospective. Guerlain is definitely a world in itself !
Definately iconic! Rive Gauche YSL ! Estee Lauder's White Linnen was HUGE and way too much cat pee for me, but really loved by many. My first perfumes as a teen was Cacharel like Justine said, Anaïs Anaïs and Lou Lou followed by L'air du Temps Nina Ricci and later Paloma Picasso and Salvador Dali edp soooo 80s. Obsession was another huge hit (but I couldn't wear it). Like Opium and Dune it was too much and everywhere! I wore Fendi at the time. FRACAS is iconic! When JP Gaultier launched his first it was literally in everyones bathroom on show, not my fave but a cool bottle. Yohi Yamamotos first was incredibly unique when it was first launched, I really liked it and it was quite genderfluid and modern too! Agent Provocateurs first perfumes were a sensation. RL Safari is lodged in my memory of a specific time forever, even though I rarely wore it. I always recommend Carolina Herrera's scents for women any age looking for something pretty, light and modern for everyday use. I think she always presents great scents that are never sweet, cloying, heavy or boring.
In high school I wore Charlie. Next was Paloma Picasso, a deep, woodsy scent. As a mom, I wore Amarige by Givenchy and now my go-to is Chanel Chance. Scent evokes memories and whenever I smell Aramis I instantly think of my dad, it was his signature cologne. He’s been gone for 22 years yet that scent gets me every time. Excellent video!! Thank you.
I agree that it is very recognizable (and I personally really like it) but I don't know if it will stand the test of time. Here in Mexico City it had a boom of popularity a few years ago, everyone was wearing it. Now I rarely encounter it anymore. Have they renewed the bottle/image? I haven't heard anything about it for years...
I love how you say the perfume names.The beauty of the French language is so lovely when you speak the names of the designers of the scents & the perfume houses. A sheer delight to listen to you. There are so many perfume names & names of the perfume houses I'd love to hear you say. Several of the ones you mentioned are my favorites.
For the present times I would say, baccarat rouge 540 is making its history. Wheter you like it or not it's a phenomenon that a niche fragrance got so much attention worldwide
Angel used to be my mom‘s signature scent, I still love it today. Shalimar and Chanel No. 5 are timeless classics I will always have in my collection. These are pieces of art in my opinion and I love their historic background. Imagine walking around smelling exactly like Marilyn Monroe or a flapper girl from the 20s. Iconic.
I'm a relatively old man, so my comment comes from that vantage point. Something that I've fascinating thru my adult years, is the emotional impact of perfume, and, similarly, how a scent can make a statement about the wearer. For example, the first four of your list are instantly likeable and attractive. The remainder, far less so. I have quite a disdain for CK1 and J'Adore. The first four say, "yes, stay by me", whereas some of the others, "ummm, go away". In no way am I saying other's experience the same thing that I do. Obviously, many people love CK1. I do wonder if they like it for the scent, or for what the scent represents, by way of marketing.
To me, White Diamonds is iconic because it's what my mom wore the most when I was growing up. :-) Elizabeth Taylor basically invented the celebrity scent, so I think that her perfumes have a place in this history. I also think of Yardley's English Lavender, and Red Door. Both classics.
Both Sophia Lauren and Catherine Deneuve came out with their name sake perfumes before Liz Taylor did. However Liz was much more commercially successful with her line. I own miniatures of White Diamonds, D and Rubies, D and Sapphires, D and Emeralds, and Passion.
Such a documented and accurate video... As usual! I now understand why my grandmother was so much into "L'Air du Temps"; she was just 17 at the end of WWII...
L’heure bleue for me is iconic. When I was a teen, White Shoulders was the fragrance. Then I was introduced to Casaque by Jean d’Albert - I really miss that one! A visit to Guerlain in Paris in 1969 took me to L’heure bleue, which I still wear.
Justine’s videos are packed with great and useful information. She always goes deep into research for her videos and the quality of the product reflects it.
I would love to hear about these too: 1) L’Mariage by Givenchy. 2) Paris by YSL (popular in the 1980s) with the coral cap. 3) Dolce & Gabbana’s “Light Blue.”
Shalimar has been my key fragrance for decades. It's the only one which doesn't morph into an ammonia or funeral parlor smell after a few hours. Weird body chemistry, I guess. Fascinating history - thank you!
Yes, I also wore Shalimar since I was 19 and I'm now 71!!!! Definitely my signature fragrance. I still wear it and change it up with Y'satis, Madame Rochas, Chanel #5 and Arpege.
Merci Justine, that was very interesting, not only the history but how the brands relate back to the mood of the era in which they were created. I really enjoy learning about how the fashion houses have influenced society and vice versa. I always enjoy your videos.
Ah Justine, faut vraiment que tu fasses plus de vidéos sur les parfums 🥰 Poison est également assez marqué je l’ai associé avec certaines personnes, et light blue pourrait sans doute être classé comme iconique, quoiqu’il soit trop léger
Now that I have educated myself a bit more on fragrances, I believe what marks the last 10 to 15 years is the rise of the niche houses. People crave a more exclusive scent and are willing to pay for the privilege of smelling different. One fragrance that comes to mind is Baccarat Rouge 540 by Maison Francis Kurkdjian. Abstract, exclusive and distinctive. ❤️
L'Interdit by Givenchy is a classic for me. It's so feminine and reminds me of Paris. My daughter wears Flowerbomb - instantly recognisable and deservedly on your list!
My mother had l'interdit for decades. Do you still use the old original scent? Now they relaunched it but it is far away from the original, 25 years ago. I tried to find something alike it but I couldn't find anything like the old l'interdit. It was heavy, sweet, not really floral and not really anything. More like the old Shalimar.
Thank you Justine, I love perfume and have worn/still wear many of these. L'Air du Temps was my first "grown up" perfume. My mother loved Oscar de la Renta and Germaine Monteil's Royal Secret. When I think of iconic, I also think of Estee Lauder's Youth Dew, which was the first fragrance sold primarily as a bath oil. According to Estee Lauder, American women usually wore perfume that they received as a gift, they never splurged on expensive fragrance for themselves, but they wouldn't have a problem buying themselves a bath oil. Another I would consider iconic is the beautiful Joy by Patou, which at one time was described as the most expensive perfume in the world.
Flowerbomb bottle reminds me of a bomb and not a diamond 😅 L'Interdit by Givenchy is also an iconic perfume in my opinion, probably because of Audrey Hepburn ☺️. The bad fact about perfumes of previous decades is that they are no more the same because of reformulations. Some ingredients are no more allowed in perfume industry and the creators must change the original fragrance. That's a pity. In any case, as a perfume collector, I own all the ones you mentioned and smelling them is still an experience. During last years niche brands are very popular and generally speaking they mostly create unisex perfumes following the no gender trend. In perfumery is probably easier than in fashion going in that direction 😊. A perfume can be in your memory forever and it will be always tied to that time or that particular person. I love them and I love what they represent to me. Excellent video! 💕
It's definitely a grenade shape haha - it even has an approximation of the little circular pin that would be pulled out to activate the bomb before throwing it!
Quite happy not to wear fragrance that relies on slaughtering whales, deer, beavers or civet cats for human vanity when there are a myriad of beautiful, naturally occurring plant based essences to use... "That's a pity"...no, it really isn't. And animal ingredients should be outlawed completely in any perfume or cosmetic.
@@kateoc8 it's a pity wasn't referred to the ethic point and I completely agree with you. Animals must be respected. It's a pity was referred to the fact that chemical ingredients can't reproduce the original essence and the original scent is lost forever.
My grandmother wore Cinnabar from the time it was invented until her death. I have one of the original bottles still. I can't wear it - just not for me, but it reminds me of her. My husband bought me Beyond Paradise as a wedding gift (He liked the rainbow bottle). It was my favorite for a while. Now I wear Gucci's Guilty.
My favorite perfume which should have stayed iconic is First by VanCleef & Arpels. It was warm, rich, bergamot, vanilla…and got better smelling as the day passed. It was my life long signature fragrance. However they changed it by removing an expensive ingredient about five years ago or more. It turned into cheap smelling mens aftershave. Gross! I have never found a good replacement. Justine this was fun to watch, and I learned something new as always. Thank you
Chanel 19. I've worn it for 40 years and I discovered it when I was 19. I also wear Eau de Rochas because I discovered it in the south of France and it takes me back!
I love perfume and have worn many of the iconic brands mentioned but the standout for me was Rive Gauche by YSL, launched in the 70s. It was the one perfume that was always commented on .
I’ve loved Elle by YSL ever since I was a kid. It has the most distinctive smell, isn’t very well known, and I, (a perfume enthusiast) have never come across another perfume even vaguely like it. It’s also the perfume that 9/10 times, people will ask what I’m wearing as they love it, some have even gone on to buy it themselves 😁😁
I think the reason to why there are no more iconic perfumes in the past 15 years is because the market is flooded. We have drugstore perfumes, designer house perfumes, niche perfumes etc. They all compete with each other and honestly many of them smell the same since they try to followthe exact same scent trands, it's hard to get surprised. :) Another reason might be the instant culture we live in - customers might get bored really easily and move on to the next thing, perfume in the end of the day is no longer a real luxury.
Thank you for this mini-lecture, I truly love the way you provide a historical context for the trends and single objects, this helps to understand why things are as they are in the fashion world.
Some of my favorites are not included in this list, but they’re worth mentioning: My mother loved Madame Rochas, and I still wear Trésor by Lancôme. One of my first fragrances was Rive Gauche by YSL, and I also remember Cabochon very fondly. This one is not iconic in the sense that it’s not even made anymore, but it was amazingly good. It is L’Arte by Gucci. It saddened me to see it being discontinued after a few years.
My mother used L'Ecusson de Jean d'Albret which I really loved. I have not found anything I like more, but there again it has been discontinued. So much memories are linked to our sense of smell!
I really enjoy Jo Malone scents. They encourage mixing their fragrances to personalize as little bit, and they all smell beautiful. Another favorite is Chloé: soft, subtle, fresh and clean.
I loved original Opium and hate this "modernising" claptrap, why can't they make new product and leave the original exactly as it was?! So many women (including myself) stay faithful to a scent for a long time and then brand discontinues it or modernise it and it's gone 😐 Brilliant video Justine, really interesting and fun to watch. My choice is Obsession by Calvin Klein, so far so good: no excessive "modernising" and still available 😉
I totally hear you on this. However, I also wonder how can you still smell the perfume on yourself after you've been wearing that scent for years? That's something I find challenging. The nose gets so used to the scent 😊
This was enjoyable. 🌝 I did wear Angel at the time (I had a refillable bottle!), but I would find it too much now. Recently I bought CK One for the first time since the 90s, and I have really enjoyed revisiting it, especially in summer. One that I have never stopped buying for 30 years, and which is not on your list, is Samsara. I first smelled it on my friend's French mother-in-law and had to know what it was immediately. It's my favourite, I never get sick of it (although I am careful not to apply it with a heavy hand). I agree with you about the last 15 years. The only perfume I bought more than once in that time was one that Madonna released, and which I loved - but they don't make it any more 😭. I remember two that made me feel like I was going to suffocate in the 80s: Poison (my mum wore it) and Giorgio Beverly Hills (my friend wore it). I won't be sorry if I never smell either of them again!
Anais Anais is one that I could happily never smell again. My mother wore it, and my father wore Kouros. Instant headache for me, when they were heading out.
i just bought a bottle of ck one! i actually JUST put it on. i am transported back to the wonderful 90’s. i have purchased the first perfume jennifer aniston released twice now. i enjoy that as a daily fragrance. i recently purchased calvin klein ‘beauty’. i’m still testing it out. i am going to look around for the scent you mentioned, ‘samsara’. thanks!! that description of you experiencing it for the first time makes me want to check it out! AND! those ck one adds were gorgeous!
I feel like Narciso Rodriguez fragrances are quite popular among many. And I think Rouge Baccarat 540 is on its way of becoming iconic. But not mainstream. Perfume houses are definitely trying to make things more and more exclusive and out of reach for many.
I realize this is more of an indie-style perfume (though not actually from an indie brand, it’s from a fashion house), but I would put forth Jazz Club from Masion Margiela as incredible innovative. The whole series to which it belongs was the first of its type that I recall on the shelf at Sephora, namely, a series of scents, launched simultaneously as a line, smelling not really anything like big mainstream perfumes, often genderless in marketing, triggering a nostalgic or vintage feeling with its packaging/marketing, and sometimes even intended to mix by the wearer. I have no idea how many people wear Jazz Club or other perfumes from this line or even if it’s currently produced, but I smelled it on someone and recognized it instantly (I don’t own any from this line but I had frequently sampled, and bought Jazz Club as a roller size as a gift for my sister). A scent I have smelled copied a lot is Quercus, from Penhaligons. When I was in about 6th grade, the American company Bonne Belle which made Lip Smackers lip balm and was sold in every drugstore in the USA launched a line aimed as preteens/young teens with 10 scents, each named after a different girly trait or word, and each a different color carried through several products. My favorite was called “Flirt”, and it was light pink, and I had the spray and the scented nail polish top coat! This line lasted for a couple of years, tops (maybe 1999 or 2000?). As an adult, I went to Penhaligon’s on the recommendation of my professor during a short travel course to London, and enjoyed smelling all their scents (some dating back hundreds of years). I smelled Quercus and was instantly transported; it was an exact match for my 6th grade drugstore scent that probably cost $5. I have smelled a few other copies of this scent here and there and it is just wild every time; unlike some of the things I wore as a teenager, I still love it! I should really buy a bottle of the real stuff from Penhaligon’s!
It's not an iconic fragrance, but Lagerfeld had a fragrance called sun moon stars and I loved it! I went through many bottles. It was discontinued long ago. The bottle was so pretty. I actually still have an old lotion from a gift set I got for a gift. The lotion is so old, I would never use it, but I open it from time to time just to smell it. That's weird, huh? I'll go now. 😆
They don't make it anymore. Remember it was the most expensive because of the large amount of jasmine. Dior has bought the name Joy and is manufactured a much ... not nice scent under the name.
I wore both Shalimar and L’Air de Temps, two very different scents, depending on the day and my mood. I was influenced as a young woman (currently 75 yo) in the 1960’s by Bardot, for sure. Fragrance has taken a hit, lately, due to more awareness of respiratory issues.
For me, CK one is the most iconic in the 90’s. That fragrance is nostalgic. I miss everything I went through at that time. This amazing video makes me emotional. Thanks Justine.
Justine, thank you for a wonderful trip down memory lane....my mother still wears Chanel No. 5 to this day and she is a young 82 year old. I got my first perfume in 1978 as a birthday present when Cacharel launched Anaïs. I loved this scent so much and wore it for almost a decade. In the late 80's I switched to Kourus by YSL a men's perfume that I still love to this day.
Lolita Lempika was everywhere in the beginning of the 2000's. They also had a good marketing and an intersting bottle. I don't know if a lot of people still wear it, it was quite sweet. 🍎
Same, I thought about the Lolita Lempika as well at is the end of 1990es and 2000es perfume for me. This licorice and violet perfume is quite unique and very recognisable. I still wear it everyday
I love Annick Goutal perfumes… Songes and Un Matin d’Orage especially! I really appreciate hearing the history and the placement in time of the releases of all these perfumes! Wonderful video! Chanel #5 bottles remind me of the slight changes in the Cartier tank watches… still recognizable but updated and modified periodically.
I remember Giorgio being a hugely popular fragrance in 80's. Several of my friends wore it. I tended to like fragrances like Opium, Coco, Fendi, and Red Door. Some newer ones I like are D & G Light Blue and Versace Bright Crystal.
My favorite is Touch, by Burberry! It reminds me of a beautiful Summer Day, and I get a lot of compliments when I wear it. This perfume marked a revolutionary turning-point in the house of Burberry. Roberto Menichetti became an artistic director in 1998. With his arrival some serious changes had been made; a more modern style was implanted without being unfaithful to Burberry’s original philosophy. British top model Stella Tennant became the face of the whole new trend. The fragrance is soft and casual with a hint of freshness in the top notes which include blackcurrant, cassis, cranberry, and pink pepper corns giving way to delicious floral middle notes. Rose, lily of the valley and jasmine mix with the notes of peaches and raspberries. The trail is comfortable as an English blanket, scented with warm notes of vanilla, cedarwood and oakmoss. It was created by Michel Girard in 2000.
Thank you for the fragrance education, Justine! As a fragrance lover, I think today we don’t subscribe to a “signature” scent but rather play with fragrances and use them as an accessory, depending on the mood, place and time of year. I also think gender fluidity is top of mind for fragrance makers, and so you have lots of molecule-style perfumes that do well on anyone, like Baccarat Rouge 540 or Juliette has a Gun Not a Perfume. We are also living a time of heavy musks and ouds, which I frankly adore.
Thank you so much for this interesting video. Although the Avon brand products, today, are generally thought of as inferior, or more generic, mass produced cosmetics. I must say, I am missing Avon’s honeysuckle fragrance from the 70’s. It captivated me back then and sadly, they haven’t made it again since. At least not in it’s pure form. Today it’s blended with other things. But back in the 70’s, they nailed that whiff of heavenly fragrance as you walked past a honeysuckle vine. I really wish they would bring it back. They also had jasmine, magnolia, rose and Lily of the valley. All in individual little cream jars and all breathtaking. I’m still waiting… 😱
Coco Mademoiselle for me. I have worn it every day for nearly 20 years and still adore it. I also love No5 but probably in the way Marilyn did, I somehow feel it is too iconic for me to wear out of the house. I love perfume so great video Justine
I'm a Coco Mademoiselle girl too, but only for very special occasions! It's just so decadent that I only like to associate it with big occasions in my memories. But man, it makes me feel like a classy broad!
I much prefer the original Coco over Coco Mademoiselle. It’s one of those Grand Dame perfumes. I treat No. 5 just like any of the fragrances in my collection. I wear it to anywhere and anything, that includes grocery shopping, dog walking, PTA meetings, etc.
L'air du temps is also famous because it's the perfume that Hannibal Lecter smells on Clarice when he first meets her (as well as Evyan Skin Cream) ;) Also, Flowerbomb's bottle doesn't look like a diamond. As the name implies, it looks like a hand grenade (as does Spicebomb, the male equivalent).
I thought of that, too! Although I originally knew the scent from the commercials I loved as a kid in the 80s...I'm sure Thomas Harris used that brand because he knew L'Air du Temps tends to linger on the skin for more than 24 hours. Hannibal smells it on Clarice but knows the scent is not strong enough to have been applied that day.
I feel like the bottle is supposed to be reminiscent of both a grenade and a diamond, because it’s got the flat polished surfaces and is squared off the way you’d cut a gemstone to catch the light. It has a general shape and a “pin” reminiscent of a grenade, but it doesn’t have the roundness or the raised ridges. I think the whole point is it relies on the visual symbolism of both. That’s how design (at least good design) tends to work.
I really enjoyed this video Justine. Merci beaucoup. I knew all the perfumes (and people who wore them) except for Flowerbomb. My forever true love fragrance wise is Comme des Garçons, the original one. I wore it for 20 years. I love CDG fragrances for their uniqueness but they are a bit too “niche” to be iconic I guess. And no iconic marketing for sure. I like Serge Lutens fragrances too. Féminité du Bois (originally launched when he was still working with Shiseido) is incredible. I’m not wearing anything these days (or just some simple colognes) because I now live in Tokyo and women just don’t wear strong fragrances. If you do, you really feel like you’re making other people uncomfortable so I only wear them if I go out on special occasions but not on an everyday basis. Being French I miss it to be honest. 😅Women in Tokyo like to smell “nice”, like soap or shampoo, sometime a bit floral but always very subtle. Little girls fragrances to be honest. The funny thing is department stores are filled with all the famous brands and I guess perfumes are selling but maybe just to look good on the bathroom shelf ! Because I’ve NEVER met a Japanese woman wearing a strong perfume (iconic or not). And I used to work in Ginza. Sorry about the long post. It was just a little cultural “anecdote”. Thank you again for your wonderful videos.
Bonjour Isabelle, Salutations du Québec sous 30cm de neige. I watched a vidéo by Justine for the first time a few minutes ago and I found it very interesting. I intend to see some more. I started reading the list of comments and yours spoke to me right away. I had a coup de foudre for Féminité du Bois when it was a Shiseido product . I do believe it is an iconic parfum because it smelled different than everything else on the market at the time. I loved it soooo much, I wore black the day Shiseido stopped making it. I learned much later on that Serge Lutens had issued it again under his own brand. I rushed to the store to buy it and when I tried it on.....total disapointment!!! The formula was not the same anymore! Trahison !! I don't know why he felt he had to tweek with perfection, but he did, and he broke it for me. Having said that, I still wear one of Serge Lutens' fragrance, Laine de Verre. I felt comfortable putting it on during the day at work because it has that "clean" scent you mentionned, without being a little girl fragrance, It's more like a shard of glass clean. It's also like nothing else, and it's not for everyone, but I like it. Two other perfumes by Shiseido were favorites of mine when I was younger; Zen and Inouï. I don't even know if they still exist, and I'm not there anymore, but I loved them at the time. Loving perfume like I do, it was delicate for me to choose the "right" one for the work place. I used to be in the Army, so any scent I wore had to be discreet , "clean" and not overpowering. So, I used to resort to several of Guerlain's Aqua Allégoria fragrances. They are mostly a fragrance for you, instead of one for others, if this makes sense. Herba Fresca, Bergamote Calabria, Mandarine Basilic & Pampelune have been on my day rotation for years. And If I knew my day was going to be rough, and I wanted to feel powerful, I would go for my bottle of "Eau Sauvage" and that always did the trick. Now that I'm retired from the Forces, I can wear whatever I like whenever I like... Champs Élysées....yes! Sublime....yes! Ysatis....yes! Mitsouko...yes! Coco Mademoiselle...yes, yes, yes!!! Well, I'll stop here so I don't bore you to tears. Perfume makes me volubile.
@@isabellemichaud6926 I love Laine de Verre 😊 it is very clean and fresh. Prefer to use it in the summer. My favourite in the summer, if it is very hot is l'Eau de Issey from Issey Miyake, this fragrance seems to be activated through the heat and I smell as fresh as flowers beside a waterfall. 😊🥰 I have heard, Issey Miyake ordered a perfume that smells as light as water.
I've been wearing PARIS by YSL for 39 yrs, Magnetism & Sentiment by ESCADA for 19 yrs, Samsara by Guerlain for 33 yrs, Arpege by Lanvin for 40 yrs, Delices De Cartier for 16 yrs, Tocade by Rochas for 25 yrs, and my newest for the last 5 years Not a perfume by Juliette has a gun. I have all the fragrances you've mentioned as well. But it gets harder and harder to find these because of how old they are and there are so many scents flooding the market.
I ADORE Nina Ricci L'air du Temps, I first bought it on a flight to Canada aged 16 and I have used it ever since. Now I am old, but my son still buys it for me on my birthday every year, old ladies CAN wear it! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Also, Fidji by Guy Laroche, and then Femme by Madame Rochas for evenings 💖💖💖
I love perfume. I came from a family that always wore scents. Chanel #5 is my personal favorite. But I will say as far as genderless scents, Tweed and 4711 were before their time and WERE worn by both men and women. Great, great video!!
I just also remembered the sensation caused by the Jean Paul Gaultier perfumes with the 'body' bottles when they were released, especially amongst women and gay men. Everybody loved to have the bottle as a piece of art. In fact I think I may still have an empty miniature one somewhere! There are so many reasons that a perfume might become popular, it's such an interesting topic.
Oh yes! I remember this being extremely popular with men/boys at the time. Almost all my boyfriends/crushes smelt of it, so it slightly freaks me out these days when someone walks past me wearing it 😂
Yes, Gaultier classique was the first I thought should have been there. The Dior and Flowerbomb aren’t iconic in my option, not more than the Gaultier at least. Dior has better (Poison) and there is no Tom Ford in the list!!!!
C’est un immense plaisir de te suivre. Pas de BS ou d’hésitations (tu sais, les fameux « euh » à répétition insupportables qui dénotent entre autre beaucoup d’égocentrisme et un réel manque de préparation), un discours simple, clair et structuré, des recherches et des analyses, rigoureuses, approfondies et extrêmement professionnelles. On apprend (réellement) beaucoup! Tu représentes une merveilleuse RP de la France (on devrait te décerner une LH à mon humble avis!). Chaleureusement!
Thanks Justin! That was a great video to watch.. but I was thinking if you are talking about the 90’s, you’ve gotta mention GUCCI RUSH!! That was also really something! Even the bottle! Wow.
I wore YSL Paris for 30 years, then moved to YSL Black Opium, my husband buys me my perfumes for my birthdays, I love YSL, I have a Prada prefume that I bought myself but not as keen as YSL.
Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue is definitely on the map as one of the most iconic perfumes recently created. Also, Baccarat Rouge 540 is also a huge perfume, even though it is a Niche perfume and not from a major design house. It was created in 2015.
I just love it how everyone has their own story when it comes to fragrance. J'adore is my mother's signature scent and it makes me happy whenever I smell it. My first perfume was Light Blue and I remember buying a big bottle when I went on my first overseas holiday to the UK. Currently I love Chanel Mademoiselle Intense ♥️
I used J'Adore, and everybody always asked me what I was wearing. But Provocative Woman by Elizabeth Arden was even more asked about. Also, Joy by Jean Patou, which was my wedding fragrance, got a lot of compliments. CK One is also a hit. As is Pleasures by Estee Lauder. What am I wearing now? You'll never guess! Pink Grapefruit by The Body Shop!
ha haa very recently Ive been using white musk Body Shop straight after the shower, great base fragrance to layer first before my $400 bottles. Or I just leave on its own if Im not going out anywhere.
Loved this video and would enjoy more perfume videos from you:) I mostly agree with your list. I would also add Coco for the spices and the animalic factor and Lolita Lempicka for its combination of licorice and violet.
You forgot 4711 which was first produced in 1799! It's still selling despite not being as expensive as Chanel and had a large range of both affordable and exclusive products!
Interesting topic. One of my favorite scents is No. 4711, an old classic. Some of the scents mentioned are iconic, no doubt, but they sometimes remind me of old ladies with too much make-up on and too heavily perfumed🤣I ran into that on the New York subways growing up.
I think that, out of recent years, the stand outs would be Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt, Le Labo Santal 33 and Replica By the Fireplace, I'm not crazy about them, but they're unique scents and they've taken well to the market. However, to quote Phineas and Ferb "this is the future and everything's already been done", maybe there's nothing left to invent
I would add Mitsouko by Guerlain, a feminine dream. Diorissimo was super but unfortunately it has been modernized and is not as good as it was. The same for O de Lancôme, it was the perfume of young girls in ‘70 and ‘80, the smell of a time that will never get back again❤️ sublime.
Love this content, Justine! I'm really tickled pink by anything from Guerlain, loving the vintages and currently after a sample of Mitsouko. Perfumes seem to be the watered down shells of their former selves, (Eternity by Calvin Klein!!!) I'd love if you touch on how reformulations have happened re: IFRA :D
Great video! My life has embraced Charlie, Tea Rose, Chloe, Clinique Elixir, Anais Anais, Diorissimo, Malone Grapefruit. Perfumes can be specific to seasons. Perfumes can impact me.
I stopped at Fragonard where some of the perfume bases are made and had a fascinating time listening to the lady who was telling us about perfumes and how they're put together. I wanted to get the base for No5 but it ended up being nothing on me - the lady said a perfume will react differently to each wearer and Coco was the scent I like the best. I'm completely sold on the idea of perfume - regardless of whether it's just a silly golden dream, for some reason, perfume is one of the items I can't be at all sensible about.
Nahema by Guerlain is my signature scent . I also discovered Sparkling Bouquet by Guerlain which is wonderful for Spring / Summer holidays ! Thankyou, Justine, for the informative video.
Oh Justine, what a wonderful video for Valentine’s Day. I loved this so much. I have strong scent memories of Channel, Shalimar, L’air Du Temps and Opium. #2, You’re almost at a million subscribers! So happy for you! #3, I just ordered your “big” ring today - in gold - It means so much to me to have something so extraordinary from someone I adore. I’m not a big shopper, so this will be a very special piece for me. I’ve wanted it for months and today was the day. Thank you for everything.
Im suscribed to your channel, and watch your videos all the time, they are very well structured , full of content , always interesting , and always learn something new,, thank you¡
I really enjoyed this one with the historical context, detail and glam. For me, L' Eau d'Issey by Issey Miyake is also an iconic perfume. Puristic, light and yet very elegant.
I think it was also one if the first to use ozone (that "rain" fragrance) as a key note.
Fun fact, its also the first flat fragace, meaning that all the notes smell the same throughout the wear (no opening, middle, and basenote)
Totally agree! Also for me it's iconic because Mel B wore it when she was in the Spice Girls, so if that doesn't elevate it to iconic 90s status, I don't know what does!
Yes I was thinking of that one as well!!
So iconic!
Justine, i am not fashion guy... I teach literature (Russian literature particularly). I was interested in french fashion many months ago, and subscribed. However, I keep watching your videos. And I must say that it's just a pure delight to see how passionately you tell stories. Thank you for the video😍
My introduction to high-end fragrance came sometime in the 60s when my brother bought me a bottle of Chanel No. 5 when I was 18. I wore that fragrance for years until I discovered Bill Blass in the 80s and I loved that fragrance so much. I used to get THE question all the time, "What are you wearing?" I think BB didn't become a classic because not enough was put into the marketing over the years. I think I remember Catherine Deneuve being the face of BB, but I could be wrong. I thought of it as the face of the classic woman. I now wear Marc Jacobs' Daisy Love and at age 73, I think it may be my final choice (took me a very long time), but who knows what I may discover in my 90s.
Bill Blass perfume was under rated. I have never smelled anything so beautiful.
Catherine Deneuve was the iconic face of Chanel No.5, not Bill Blass.
I grew up in the 80s and that was a great decade for perfumes. Fashion magazines came in the mail reeking of gorgeous perfumes. It gave the magazine experience another dimension that is sadly missing now. But the fragrances of the 80s are the most significant for me: obsession, giorgio, red door, coco, fendi, poison by dior
Lol, tastes vary. I worked with a woman who drenched herself in Giorgio. By the end of every day I was ill. The very mention of it still makes my stomach heave!
@@daljordan8921 any perfume that is applied too liberally would stink. The problem was that she wore too much of it as to make it overpowering. You should have asked her to wear less. But i think the 80s was the last decade of perfume wafting in work hallways. In the 90s it was common to see "perfume may be worn as long as it is not excessive" in business dress codes.
Ah yes the 80s - certain scents evoke and era. Everybody in my high school was wearing Obsession or Eternity, or CK One.
Poison definitely
Love Red Door
Just for clarification, the Viktor & Rolf Flower Bomb is actually inspired by a hand grenade, not a diamond (that would be Wish by Chopard).
Great information Justine. Fun and interesting. Thank you
My grandmother wore 4711 cologne and as a child I adored the smell. My daughter recently bought a bottle and it instantly transported me back to days spent with my darling grandmother 🥰
It is sublime.
This is what Davidoff Cool Water does to me. My mum loves it. Like for ages.
This is the oldest perfume created in 1881 that is still available today!
I love that cologne especially in summer and it saved me when I was pregnant and had morning sickness.
My nana wore it too
My mother wears L'air du Temps and I cannot imagine her without that perfume. It also lasts forever. Sometimes my mother would pass me something of her clothes and even after two - three washes it still had this scent. I'm 42 and as long as I remember myself, this fragrance always follows her.
My mother died years ago. She wore Shalimar but when I tried to buy it to remind me of her but it did not smell the same. I do love perfume.
I am 64 and this scent is what I wore in my teens through 20’s
My mother wore this too. It never worked on me and it didn’t have that much longevity on her. Poison on the other hand!…
it's my Mother-in-law's fragrance she's 97
@@hollyholstein6758 Me, too! Same age.
I love Mon Guerlain. The history of Guerlain is super Interesting and I agree Shalimar definitely deserves the iconic title.
That's a great scent! Also Mon Guerlain Floral is nice too.
Such a pity it’s been discontinued. 😕
Mon Guerlain is fabulous. It says Love/Enchanted Nights/Starlight/Exotic/Erotic dreams. Please don't ever change it!
I loved Femme by Rochas for 40 years, so mysterious...I switch between the two. As a girl I loved Tabu by Dana. I think it was Spanish? I wish I could experience that one again.
@@CJ-bn6gf Tabu is still made. I saw it at Walmart over Christmas. Not sure if it's year round. The Vermont Country Store website/catalogue might have it. Unfortunately at least the one in Walmart is made in China.....who knows what it's made of 😨.
Mon Guerlain is so good!! It's one of my favourites *ever!*
D and G Light Blue should be on the list. Citrus, cedar, rose. Such an amazing, unusual, beautiful , immediately recognizable scent!!
My personal favorite ❤
Dune, Diorissimo & Dolce Vita by Dior definitely iconic too. Coco and Coco Noir by Chanel, Magie Noire by Lancome. In older times people had their own "scent". My grandmother wore Femme of Rochas and Fleur de Rocaille by Caron. My mom Rive Gauche by YSL for everyday and Joy by Patou for special occasions. I've loved fragrance since I was 5 years old and always asked for perfumes as presents hehe. For my 8th birthday I got a 100ml of Charlie, I finished it in 2 weeks hahaha.First "proper" perfume at 12 White Linen by E. Lauder In the 80's you HAD to wear Giorgio or Anais Anais. Late 80's Colors by Benetton and Vice Versa by YSL. Early 90's Lauren by Ralph Lauren. Pleasures, Nina, Chance, 5th Avenue, Escada, and many many more that have formed part of my fragrance journey :D
I agree about Light Blue’s potential. Guerlain’s Mitsouko should be on this list. Released in 1919. Not as popular as Chanel No. 5, but a definite contender. ♥️
I was going to say!
@@fredadockrell1862 love l'heure bleu! Well she can't include them all, especially as she managed to put out a wide retrospective. Guerlain is definitely a world in itself !
Definately iconic!
Rive Gauche YSL !
Estee Lauder's White Linnen was HUGE and way too much cat pee for me, but really loved by many. My first perfumes as a teen was Cacharel like Justine said, Anaïs Anaïs and Lou Lou followed by L'air du Temps Nina Ricci and later Paloma Picasso and Salvador Dali edp soooo 80s.
Obsession was another huge hit (but I couldn't wear it). Like Opium and Dune it was too much and everywhere!
I wore Fendi at the time.
FRACAS is iconic! When JP Gaultier launched his first it was literally in everyones bathroom on show, not my fave but a cool bottle.
Yohi Yamamotos first was incredibly unique when it was first launched, I really liked it and it was quite genderfluid and modern too!
Agent Provocateurs first perfumes were a sensation.
RL Safari is lodged in my memory of a specific time forever, even though I rarely wore it.
I always recommend Carolina Herrera's scents for women any age looking for something pretty, light and modern for everyday use. I think she always presents great scents that are never sweet, cloying, heavy or boring.
In high school I wore Charlie. Next was Paloma Picasso, a deep, woodsy scent. As a mom, I wore Amarige by Givenchy and now my go-to is Chanel Chance.
Scent evokes memories and whenever I smell Aramis I instantly think of my dad, it was his signature cologne. He’s been gone for 22 years yet that scent gets me every time.
Excellent video!! Thank you.
I treaded very similar parfume path. Charlie then Paloma Picasso in my late twenties, my favourite Chanel Mademoiselle, now Chanel Chance.
Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue has the potential to be iconic - I can always recognise it as it's got a really unique fragrance.
I’d take it over the Dior one… marketing ;)
It’s a bit nauseating in my opinion
I agree that it is very recognizable (and I personally really like it) but I don't know if it will stand the test of time. Here in Mexico City it had a boom of popularity a few years ago, everyone was wearing it. Now I rarely encounter it anymore. Have they renewed the bottle/image? I haven't heard anything about it for years...
Agreed
It has always had an underlying quality that reminds me of cat urine. I find it absolutely horrible and nauseating.
I love how you say the perfume names.The beauty of the French language is so lovely when you speak the names of the designers of the scents & the perfume houses. A sheer delight to listen to you. There are so many perfume names & names of the perfume houses I'd love to hear you say. Several of the ones you mentioned are my favorites.
For the present times I would say, baccarat rouge 540 is making its history. Wheter you like it or not it's a phenomenon that a niche fragrance got so much attention worldwide
I'm addicted to your narrations! What a neat, precise, calm and intelligent eloquence, my best wishes Justine 👍
Angel used to be my mom‘s signature scent, I still love it today. Shalimar and Chanel No. 5 are timeless classics I will always have in my collection. These are pieces of art in my opinion and I love their historic background. Imagine walking around smelling exactly like Marilyn Monroe or a flapper girl from the 20s. Iconic.
Marilyn only used the no 5 perfume and eau de cologne. Eau de toilette(which is the most sold version nowadays) didn’t exist in her lifetime.
I'm a relatively old man, so my comment comes from that vantage point. Something that I've fascinating thru my adult years, is the emotional impact of perfume, and, similarly, how a scent can make a statement about the wearer. For example, the first four of your list are instantly likeable and attractive. The remainder, far less so. I have quite a disdain for CK1 and J'Adore. The first four say, "yes, stay by me", whereas some of the others, "ummm, go away". In no way am I saying other's experience the same thing that I do. Obviously, many people love CK1. I do wonder if they like it for the scent, or for what the scent represents, by way of marketing.
I like creation by Ted lapidus.cannot find it now.
To me, White Diamonds is iconic because it's what my mom wore the most when I was growing up. :-) Elizabeth Taylor basically invented the celebrity scent, so I think that her perfumes have a place in this history. I also think of Yardley's English Lavender, and Red Door. Both classics.
You forgot Gucci Rush- it’s the first perfumes with huge amount of pepper in the opening and recogniseable beyond comparison
I have 6 of Elizabeth Taylor's Diamond collection, I actually like Diamonds and Rubies the most.
Both Sophia Lauren and Catherine Deneuve came out with their name sake perfumes before Liz Taylor did. However Liz was much more commercially successful with her line. I own miniatures of White Diamonds, D and Rubies, D and Sapphires, D and Emeralds, and Passion.
Yes, definitely Red Door. Thanks for mentioning it.
@@bibishah7754 whoa I forgot about this one! It was one my friends and I were obsessed with in the early 2000’s. Now I want to revisit it.
Such a documented and accurate video... As usual! I now understand why my grandmother was so much into "L'Air du Temps"; she was just 17 at the end of WWII...
L’heure bleue for me is iconic. When I was a teen, White Shoulders was the fragrance. Then I was introduced to Casaque by Jean d’Albert - I really miss that one! A visit to Guerlain in Paris in 1969 took me to L’heure bleue, which I still wear.
Justine’s videos are packed with great and useful information. She always goes deep into research for her videos and the quality of the product reflects it.
I would love to hear about these too: 1) L’Mariage by Givenchy. 2) Paris by YSL (popular in the 1980s) with the coral cap. 3) Dolce & Gabbana’s “Light Blue.”
My father bought me Amarige by Givenchy 30 yrs ago. Still love it. I try others but always go back....
Shalimar has been my key fragrance for decades. It's the only one which doesn't morph into an ammonia or funeral parlor smell after a few hours. Weird body chemistry, I guess. Fascinating history - thank you!
Great compilation and info
Yes, I also wore Shalimar since I was 19 and I'm now 71!!!! Definitely my signature fragrance. I still wear it and change it up with Y'satis, Madame Rochas, Chanel #5 and Arpege.
I am a Shalimar lady, too. It's the absolute best for me.
This is such a thorough and well-researched video! I loved learning more about these scents. Thanks, Justine! ☺️💯
I feel I need to rewatch it. So much information in a reasonably short video. Absolutely loved it.
Really? I feel like it focuses not at all on what an average person might actually buy
@@hypatiakovalevskayasklodow9195 The video is about iconic perfumes and what makes them iconic.
1916 Acqua di Parma, Colonia. For male and female. A much earlier unisex perfume. Sophia Loren?
Merci Justine, that was very interesting, not only the history but how the brands relate back to the mood of the era in which they were created. I really enjoy learning about how the fashion houses have influenced society and vice versa. I always enjoy your videos.
Ah Justine, faut vraiment que tu fasses plus de vidéos sur les parfums 🥰 Poison est également assez marqué je l’ai associé avec certaines personnes, et light blue pourrait sans doute être classé comme iconique, quoiqu’il soit trop léger
Now that I have educated myself a bit more on fragrances, I believe what marks the last 10 to 15 years is the rise of the niche houses. People crave a more exclusive scent and are willing to pay for the privilege of smelling different. One fragrance that comes to mind is Baccarat Rouge 540 by Maison Francis Kurkdjian. Abstract, exclusive and distinctive. ❤️
This is literally my favorite perfume!!!❤❤❤
L'Interdit by Givenchy is a classic for me. It's so feminine and reminds me of Paris. My daughter wears Flowerbomb - instantly recognisable and deservedly on your list!
My mother had l'interdit for decades.
Do you still use the old original scent?
Now they relaunched it but it is far away from the original, 25 years ago.
I tried to find something alike it but I couldn't find anything like the old l'interdit. It was heavy, sweet, not really floral and not really anything.
More like the old Shalimar.
Thank you Justine, I love perfume and have worn/still wear many of these. L'Air du Temps was my first "grown up" perfume. My mother loved Oscar de la Renta and Germaine Monteil's Royal Secret. When I think of iconic, I also think of Estee Lauder's Youth Dew, which was the first fragrance sold primarily as a bath oil. According to Estee Lauder, American women usually wore perfume that they received as a gift, they never splurged on expensive fragrance for themselves, but they wouldn't have a problem buying themselves a bath oil. Another I would consider iconic is the beautiful Joy by Patou, which at one time was described as the most expensive perfume in the world.
me too and I was living in Paris at the time !!
air du temps that is
White Linen from Esteé Lauder!
Flowerbomb bottle reminds me of a bomb and not a diamond 😅 L'Interdit by Givenchy is also an iconic perfume in my opinion, probably because of Audrey Hepburn ☺️. The bad fact about perfumes of previous decades is that they are no more the same because of reformulations. Some ingredients are no more allowed in perfume industry and the creators must change the original fragrance. That's a pity. In any case, as a perfume collector, I own all the ones you mentioned and smelling them is still an experience. During last years niche brands are very popular and generally speaking they mostly create unisex perfumes following the no gender trend. In perfumery is probably easier than in fashion going in that direction 😊. A perfume can be in your memory forever and it will be always tied to that time or that particular person. I love them and I love what they represent to me. Excellent video! 💕
It's definitely a grenade shape haha - it even has an approximation of the little circular pin that would be pulled out to activate the bomb before throwing it!
I thought the same is definitely a grenade shape not diamond.
Quite happy not to wear fragrance that relies on slaughtering whales, deer, beavers or civet cats for human vanity when there are a myriad of beautiful, naturally occurring plant based essences to use...
"That's a pity"...no, it really isn't. And animal ingredients should be outlawed completely in any perfume or cosmetic.
@@kateoc8 it's a pity wasn't referred to the ethic point and I completely agree with you. Animals must be respected. It's a pity was referred to the fact that chemical ingredients can't reproduce the original essence and the original scent is lost forever.
I never understood why l'interdit is so famous doesn't agree with me😞
I would love a part 2 with more fragrances like the iconic bottle of Flower by Kenzo or Miss Dior 🤭
I love the old perfume commercials for Charlie, Wind Song, they are nostalgic and bring back good memories of a simpler time.
Am I the only one that hits LIKE button even before she watched Justine's videos?
Me! 😁
My grandmother wore Cinnabar from the time it was invented until her death. I have one of the original bottles still. I can't wear it - just not for me, but it reminds me of her.
My husband bought me Beyond Paradise as a wedding gift (He liked the rainbow bottle). It was my favorite for a while. Now I wear Gucci's Guilty.
My favorite perfume which should have stayed iconic is First by VanCleef & Arpels. It was warm, rich, bergamot, vanilla…and got better smelling as the day passed. It was my life long signature fragrance. However they changed it by removing an expensive ingredient about five years ago or more. It turned into cheap smelling mens aftershave. Gross! I have never found a good replacement. Justine this was fun to watch, and I learned something new as always. Thank you
My mom wore Gem by VanCleef and Arpels and I still remember that bottle.
I loved first, but unfortunately, it gave me terrible headaches
Yesss First by Vancleef so elegant my mums perfume! Also Paloma Picasso 👌🏽
Van Cleef feels expensive💎
So I found a VCA bottle with an amazing scent in it on ebay. I was wondering if one of the perfumes came in a bottle with Silver flowers on it?
Chanel 19. I've worn it for 40 years and I discovered it when I was 19. I also wear Eau de Rochas because I discovered it in the south of France and it takes me back!
I love perfume and have worn many of the iconic brands mentioned but the standout for me was Rive Gauche by YSL, launched in the 70s. It was the one perfume that was always commented on .
Love Rive Gauche. Very difficult to find where I live. Perfect for me since I don't care for flowery perfumes
I agree. I've used and love Rive Gauche in the past.
I’ve loved Elle by YSL ever since I was a kid. It has the most distinctive smell, isn’t very well known, and I, (a perfume enthusiast) have never come across another perfume even vaguely like it. It’s also the perfume that 9/10 times, people will ask what I’m wearing as they love it, some have even gone on to buy it themselves 😁😁
Yessssssss, I also lovveeee ELLE by YSL
I think the reason to why there are no more iconic perfumes in the past 15 years is because the market is flooded.
We have drugstore perfumes, designer house perfumes, niche perfumes etc.
They all compete with each other and
honestly many of them smell the same since they try to followthe exact same scent trands, it's hard to get surprised. :)
Another reason might be the instant culture we live in - customers might get bored really easily and move on to the next thing, perfume in the end of the day is no longer a real luxury.
Thank you for this mini-lecture, I truly love the way you provide a historical context for the trends and single objects, this helps to understand why things are as they are in the fashion world.
Loved it!! How about Dior Poison??
Some of my favorites are not included in this list, but they’re worth mentioning: My mother loved Madame Rochas, and I still wear Trésor by Lancôme. One of my first fragrances was Rive Gauche by YSL, and I also remember Cabochon very fondly. This one is not iconic in the sense that it’s not even made anymore, but it was amazingly good. It is L’Arte by Gucci. It saddened me to see it being discontinued after a few years.
My mother used L'Ecusson de Jean d'Albret which I really loved. I have not found anything I like more, but there again it has been discontinued. So much memories are linked to our sense of smell!
A trip down memory lane, I wore all the perfumes you mentioned! How about Lanvin's Arpege? My mum's signature scent 😍
OMG, I still have an old bottle of Cabochon.
I wear Madame Rochas. It is beautiful and complex.
Tresor is so magical, and brings back memories of those beautiful late 80s ads with Isabella rosellini.
I really enjoy Jo Malone scents. They encourage mixing their fragrances to personalize as little bit, and they all smell beautiful. Another favorite is Chloé: soft, subtle, fresh and clean.
I agree--I also wanted to mention Jo Malone--again, that would be in the 90's. Who knew the 90's were so iconic with their scents!
I agree, Lime, Basil Mandarine is iconic!
Chloe is a more modern classic. Every female in my family adores it no matter the age. I always get compliments when I wear it in public.
I'm so glad someone mentioned Jo Malone!
Yes! Jo Malone and Diptyque!
I loved original Opium and hate this "modernising" claptrap, why can't they make new product and leave the original exactly as it was?! So many women (including myself) stay faithful to a scent for a long time and then brand discontinues it or modernise it and it's gone 😐
Brilliant video Justine, really interesting and fun to watch.
My choice is Obsession by Calvin Klein, so far so good: no excessive "modernising" and still available 😉
I totally hear you on this. However, I also wonder how can you still smell the perfume on yourself after you've been wearing that scent for years? That's something I find challenging. The nose gets so used to the scent 😊
They did that to Chloe too. The original smells like a dream. It reminds me of better times.
I don't understand why they reformulated a lot of hidden gems🤔
Ialso feel sad if something I liked gets discontinued :( 😞 it was part of my every day for months and then nothing
@@TheGalactica2001 yes, Miss Dior is terrible now I bought a bottle not knowing they changed the formula i promptly returned it
This was enjoyable. 🌝 I did wear Angel at the time (I had a refillable bottle!), but I would find it too much now. Recently I bought CK One for the first time since the 90s, and I have really enjoyed revisiting it, especially in summer.
One that I have never stopped buying for 30 years, and which is not on your list, is Samsara. I first smelled it on my friend's French mother-in-law and had to know what it was immediately. It's my favourite, I never get sick of it (although I am careful not to apply it with a heavy hand).
I agree with you about the last 15 years. The only perfume I bought more than once in that time was one that Madonna released, and which I loved - but they don't make it any more 😭.
I remember two that made me feel like I was going to suffocate in the 80s: Poison (my mum wore it) and Giorgio Beverly Hills (my friend wore it). I won't be sorry if I never smell either of them again!
Anais Anais is one that I could happily never smell again. My mother wore it, and my father wore Kouros. Instant headache for me, when they were heading out.
Was also surprised Poison is not mentioned but this vlog is still well-researched. Love it! The mention of Giorgio brought sooo much memories too!
i just bought a bottle of ck one! i actually JUST put it on. i am transported back to the wonderful 90’s.
i have purchased the first perfume jennifer aniston released twice now. i enjoy that as a daily fragrance. i recently purchased calvin klein ‘beauty’. i’m still testing it out.
i am going to look around for the scent you mentioned, ‘samsara’. thanks!! that description of you experiencing it for the first time makes me want to check it out!
AND! those ck one adds were gorgeous!
Try the angle body creme instead of the fragrance - it is a bit different - I always get compliments wearing it
I feel like Narciso Rodriguez fragrances are quite popular among many. And I think Rouge Baccarat 540 is on its way of becoming iconic. But not mainstream. Perfume houses are definitely trying to make things more and more exclusive and out of reach for many.
So true 😢 it's like they only want high income people to use their perfumes 😔
I realize this is more of an indie-style perfume (though not actually from an indie brand, it’s from a fashion house), but I would put forth Jazz Club from Masion Margiela as incredible innovative. The whole series to which it belongs was the first of its type that I recall on the shelf at Sephora, namely, a series of scents, launched simultaneously as a line, smelling not really anything like big mainstream perfumes, often genderless in marketing, triggering a nostalgic or vintage feeling with its packaging/marketing, and sometimes even intended to mix by the wearer.
I have no idea how many people wear Jazz Club or other perfumes from this line or even if it’s currently produced, but I smelled it on someone and recognized it instantly (I don’t own any from this line but I had frequently sampled, and bought Jazz Club as a roller size as a gift for my sister).
A scent I have smelled copied a lot is Quercus, from Penhaligons. When I was in about 6th grade, the American company Bonne Belle which made Lip Smackers lip balm and was sold in every drugstore in the USA launched a line aimed as preteens/young teens with 10 scents, each named after a different girly trait or word, and each a different color carried through several products. My favorite was called “Flirt”, and it was light pink, and I had the spray and the scented nail polish top coat! This line lasted for a couple of years, tops (maybe 1999 or 2000?). As an adult, I went to Penhaligon’s on the recommendation of my professor during a short travel course to London, and enjoyed smelling all their scents (some dating back hundreds of years). I smelled Quercus and was instantly transported; it was an exact match for my 6th grade drugstore scent that probably cost $5. I have smelled a few other copies of this scent here and there and it is just wild every time; unlike some of the things I wore as a teenager, I still love it! I should really buy a bottle of the real stuff from Penhaligon’s!
Jazz Club is huge in the fragrance or fraghead community and it's unisex!
It's not an iconic fragrance, but Lagerfeld had a fragrance called sun moon stars and I loved it! I went through many bottles. It was discontinued long ago. The bottle was so pretty. I actually still have an old lotion from a gift set I got for a gift. The lotion is so old, I would never use it, but I open it from time to time just to smell it. That's weird, huh? I'll go now. 😆
It's not weird at all 😁
The bottle is so amazing. Unfortunately I can t remember the smell ☹️
I just googled it to view the bottle, it appears that you can order it through Amazon. The bottle is really beautiful.
Star,moon and sun is really iconic. So pretty 💗
OMG I love Sun, Moon and stars! I was out shopping yesterday and a woman walked past me and she was wearing it. I was like hurrah! 🌞🌜✨
I love your videos Justine! I’m kinda surprised Joy by Jean Patou wasn’t mentioned.
They don't make it anymore. Remember it was the most expensive because of the large amount of jasmine. Dior has bought the name Joy and is manufactured a much ... not nice scent under the name.
@@gingernightmare9152 Aww I didn’t know that.
I wore both Shalimar and L’Air de Temps, two very different scents, depending on the day and my mood. I was influenced as a young woman (currently 75 yo) in the 1960’s by Bardot, for sure. Fragrance has taken a hit, lately, due to more awareness of respiratory issues.
This is the best and the most interesting video about fragrances which I've ever watched!!! Thank you sooo much!!!
You are so welcome!
For me, CK one is the most iconic in the 90’s. That fragrance is nostalgic. I miss everything I went through at that time. This amazing video makes me emotional. Thanks Justine.
Justine, thank you for a wonderful trip down memory lane....my mother still wears Chanel No. 5 to this day and she is a young 82 year old. I got my first perfume in 1978 as a birthday present when Cacharel launched Anaïs. I loved this scent so much and wore it for almost a decade. In the late 80's I switched to Kourus by YSL a men's perfume that I still love to this day.
Lolita Lempika was everywhere in the beginning of the 2000's. They also had a good marketing and an intersting bottle. I don't know if a lot of people still wear it, it was quite sweet. 🍎
This is my favourite) but it has been changed, and when you buy “mon premier perfume” it is really different.
Same here! I totally prefer the old one 😥
It’s my sister’s signature scent. Been wearing it for years. I have it too but only to smell it coz I miss her so much. She lives in another country
I love this fragrance! I do wear it!♥️
Same, I thought about the Lolita Lempika as well at is the end of 1990es and 2000es perfume for me. This licorice and violet perfume is quite unique and very recognisable. I still wear it everyday
I love Annick Goutal perfumes… Songes and Un Matin d’Orage especially! I really appreciate hearing the history and the placement in time of the releases of all these perfumes! Wonderful video! Chanel #5 bottles remind me of the slight changes in the Cartier tank watches… still recognizable but updated and modified periodically.
I'm a huge Annick Goutal fan "Eau Hadrien" among others!!!
I would love to see a video like this about men's fragrances!
I remember Giorgio being a hugely popular fragrance in 80's. Several of my friends wore it. I tended to like fragrances like Opium, Coco, Fendi, and Red Door. Some newer ones I like are D & G Light Blue and Versace Bright Crystal.
And Eternity, I got so sick of smelling that and Giorgio.
Nice watching you reviewing perfumes again. I hope you do more perfume review in the coming weeks or months.
I second this!
My favorite is Touch, by Burberry! It reminds me of a beautiful Summer Day, and I get a lot of compliments when I wear it. This perfume marked a revolutionary turning-point in the house of Burberry. Roberto Menichetti became an artistic director in 1998. With his arrival some serious changes had been made; a more modern style was implanted without being unfaithful to Burberry’s original philosophy. British top model Stella Tennant became the face of the whole new trend. The fragrance is soft and casual with a hint of freshness in the top notes which include blackcurrant, cassis, cranberry, and pink pepper corns giving way to delicious floral middle notes. Rose, lily of the valley and jasmine mix with the notes of peaches and raspberries. The trail is comfortable as an English blanket, scented with warm notes of vanilla, cedarwood and oakmoss. It was created by Michel Girard in 2000.
Love Touch, too)
Thank you for the fragrance education, Justine! As a fragrance lover, I think today we don’t subscribe to a “signature” scent but rather play with fragrances and use them as an accessory, depending on the mood, place and time of year. I also think gender fluidity is top of mind for fragrance makers, and so you have lots of molecule-style perfumes that do well on anyone, like Baccarat Rouge 540 or Juliette has a Gun Not a Perfume. We are also living a time of heavy musks and ouds, which I frankly adore.
Thank you so much for this interesting video. Although the Avon brand products, today, are generally thought of as inferior, or more generic, mass produced cosmetics. I must say, I am missing Avon’s honeysuckle fragrance from the 70’s. It captivated me back then and sadly, they haven’t made it again since. At least not in it’s pure form. Today it’s blended with other things. But back in the 70’s, they nailed that whiff of heavenly fragrance as you walked past a honeysuckle vine. I really wish they would bring it back. They also had jasmine, magnolia, rose and Lily of the valley. All in individual little cream jars and all breathtaking. I’m still waiting… 😱
Thank you so much for launching this video. I’m very surprised that “Beautiful” by Estée Lauder didn’t make the list.
Coco Mademoiselle for me. I have worn it every day for nearly 20 years and still adore it. I also love No5 but probably in the way Marilyn did, I somehow feel it is too iconic for me to wear out of the house. I love perfume so great video Justine
I'm a Coco Mademoiselle girl too, but only for very special occasions! It's just so decadent that I only like to associate it with big occasions in my memories. But man, it makes me feel like a classy broad!
It’s the one I go back to again and again also!
Also my fave! My mom’s was #5 and I loved it on her but not on myself.
I much prefer the original Coco over Coco Mademoiselle. It’s one of those Grand Dame perfumes. I treat No. 5 just like any of the fragrances in my collection. I wear it to anywhere and anything, that includes grocery shopping, dog walking, PTA meetings, etc.
Me too .I still have Coco!! Feel like a m$ when dressed up wearing some!😘
I'd love this on male perfumes as well, great job!
L'air du temps is also famous because it's the perfume that Hannibal Lecter smells on Clarice when he first meets her (as well as Evyan Skin Cream) ;) Also, Flowerbomb's bottle doesn't look like a diamond. As the name implies, it looks like a hand grenade (as does Spicebomb, the male equivalent).
I thought of that, too! Although I originally knew the scent from the commercials I loved as a kid in the 80s...I'm sure Thomas Harris used that brand because he knew L'Air du Temps tends to linger on the skin for more than 24 hours. Hannibal smells it on Clarice but knows the scent is not strong enough to have been applied that day.
L'Air du temps is also famous in UK, because it was the long life favourite perfume of HRH the late Queen Mum.
@@danielahoti4109 aww God Bless her RIP
I feel like the bottle is supposed to be reminiscent of both a grenade and a diamond, because it’s got the flat polished surfaces and is squared off the way you’d cut a gemstone to catch the light. It has a general shape and a “pin” reminiscent of a grenade, but it doesn’t have the roundness or the raised ridges. I think the whole point is it relies on the visual symbolism of both. That’s how design (at least good design) tends to work.
20 years of Dior Addict for me. You are right about the addictivity of iconic perfumes.
I really enjoyed this video Justine. Merci beaucoup. I knew all the perfumes (and people who wore them) except for Flowerbomb.
My forever true love fragrance wise is Comme des Garçons, the original one. I wore it for 20 years.
I love CDG fragrances for their uniqueness but they are a bit too “niche” to be iconic I guess.
And no iconic marketing for sure. I like Serge Lutens fragrances too. Féminité du Bois (originally launched when he was still working with Shiseido) is incredible.
I’m not wearing anything these days (or just some simple colognes) because I now live in Tokyo and women just don’t wear strong fragrances. If you do, you really feel like you’re making other people uncomfortable so I only wear them if I go out on special occasions but not on an everyday basis. Being French I miss it to be honest. 😅Women in Tokyo like to smell “nice”, like soap or shampoo, sometime a bit floral but always very subtle. Little girls fragrances to be honest. The funny thing is department stores are filled with all the famous brands and I guess perfumes are selling but maybe just to look good on the bathroom shelf ! Because I’ve NEVER met a Japanese woman wearing a strong perfume (iconic or not). And I used to work in Ginza. Sorry about the long post. It was just a little cultural “anecdote”.
Thank you again for your wonderful videos.
Bonjour Isabelle,
Salutations du Québec sous 30cm de neige.
I watched a vidéo by Justine for the first time a few minutes ago and I found it very interesting. I intend to see some more.
I started reading the list of comments and yours spoke to me right away. I had a coup de foudre for Féminité du Bois when it was a Shiseido product . I do believe it is an iconic parfum because it smelled different than everything else on the market at the time. I loved it soooo much, I wore black the day Shiseido stopped making it. I learned much later on that Serge Lutens had issued it again under his own brand. I rushed to the store to buy it and when I tried it on.....total disapointment!!! The formula was not the same anymore! Trahison !! I don't know why he felt he had to tweek with perfection, but he did, and he broke it for me. Having said that, I still wear one of Serge Lutens' fragrance, Laine de Verre. I felt comfortable putting it on during the day at work because it has that "clean" scent you mentionned, without being a little girl fragrance, It's more like a shard of glass clean. It's also like nothing else, and it's not for everyone, but I like it. Two other perfumes by Shiseido were favorites of mine when I was younger; Zen and Inouï. I don't even know if they still exist, and I'm not there anymore, but I loved them at the time.
Loving perfume like I do, it was delicate for me to choose the "right" one for the work place. I used to be in the Army, so any scent I wore had to be discreet , "clean" and not overpowering. So, I used to resort to several of Guerlain's Aqua Allégoria fragrances. They are mostly a fragrance for you, instead of one for others, if this makes sense. Herba Fresca, Bergamote Calabria, Mandarine Basilic & Pampelune have been on my day rotation for years. And If I knew my day was going to be rough, and I wanted to feel powerful, I would go for my bottle of "Eau Sauvage" and that always did the trick.
Now that I'm retired from the Forces, I can wear whatever I like whenever I like... Champs Élysées....yes! Sublime....yes! Ysatis....yes! Mitsouko...yes! Coco Mademoiselle...yes, yes, yes!!!
Well, I'll stop here so I don't bore you to tears. Perfume makes me volubile.
@@isabellemichaud6926
I love Laine de Verre 😊 it is very clean and fresh. Prefer to use it in the summer.
My favourite in the summer, if it is very hot is l'Eau de Issey from Issey Miyake, this fragrance seems to be activated through the heat and I smell as fresh as flowers beside a waterfall. 😊🥰
I have heard, Issey Miyake ordered a perfume that smells as light as water.
I've been wearing PARIS by YSL for 39 yrs, Magnetism & Sentiment by ESCADA for 19 yrs, Samsara by Guerlain for 33 yrs, Arpege by Lanvin for 40 yrs, Delices De Cartier for 16 yrs, Tocade by Rochas for 25 yrs, and my newest for the last 5 years Not a perfume by Juliette has a gun. I have all the fragrances you've mentioned as well. But it gets harder and harder to find these because of how old they are and there are so many scents flooding the market.
Arpege by Lanvin, thank you for mentioning it.
Does Arpege really resemble no 5?
I really love "l'eau d'Issey"... Something about it feels futuristic. Currently my everyday perfume is YSL MonParis!
I ADORE Nina Ricci L'air du Temps, I first bought it on a flight to Canada aged 16 and I have used it ever since. Now I am old, but my son still buys it for me on my birthday every year, old ladies CAN wear it! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Also, Fidji by Guy Laroche, and then Femme by Madame Rochas for evenings 💖💖💖
Nice, thx. I wear these days Narciso Rodriguez and I like it!
I love perfume. I came from a family that always wore scents. Chanel #5 is my personal favorite. But I will say as far as genderless scents, Tweed and 4711 were before their time and WERE worn by both men and women. Great, great video!!
Love both of those!
My Sunday went just up to the heavens! Thank you!
I just also remembered the sensation caused by the Jean Paul Gaultier perfumes with the 'body' bottles when they were released, especially amongst women and gay men. Everybody loved to have the bottle as a piece of art. In fact I think I may still have an empty miniature one somewhere! There are so many reasons that a perfume might become popular, it's such an interesting topic.
Oh yes! I remember this being extremely popular with men/boys at the time. Almost all my boyfriends/crushes smelt of it, so it slightly freaks me out these days when someone walks past me wearing it 😂
Oh, yes. all my older cousin wore that. None of them gay, but it did also exist in man version.
Oh yes , I loved that one. kept wearing it fo years
Yes, Gaultier classique was the first I thought should have been there. The Dior and Flowerbomb aren’t iconic in my option, not more than the Gaultier at least. Dior has better (Poison) and there is no Tom Ford in the list!!!!
I second that, the iconic shape of the bottle is beautiful. Love it.
C’est un immense plaisir de te suivre. Pas de BS ou d’hésitations (tu sais, les fameux « euh » à répétition insupportables qui dénotent entre autre beaucoup d’égocentrisme et un réel manque de préparation), un discours simple, clair et structuré, des recherches et des analyses, rigoureuses, approfondies et extrêmement professionnelles. On apprend (réellement) beaucoup! Tu représentes une merveilleuse RP de la France (on devrait te décerner une LH à mon humble avis!). Chaleureusement!
Justine est une intellectuelle, très cultivée.
Thanks Justin! That was a great video to watch.. but I was thinking if you are talking about the 90’s, you’ve gotta mention GUCCI RUSH!! That was also really something! Even the bottle! Wow.
For me, Shalimar and Chanel No 5 always and forever. I also think Clinique Aromatics deserves an honorable mention.
I wore YSL Paris for 30 years, then moved to YSL Black Opium, my husband buys me my perfumes for my birthdays, I love YSL, I have a Prada prefume that I bought myself but not as keen as YSL.
Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue is definitely on the map as one of the most iconic perfumes recently created. Also, Baccarat Rouge 540 is also a huge perfume, even though it is a Niche perfume and not from a major design house. It was created in 2015.
Thank you to David Gandy, beautiful advert ;)
I just love it how everyone has their own story when it comes to fragrance. J'adore is my mother's signature scent and it makes me happy whenever I smell it. My first perfume was Light Blue and I remember buying a big bottle when I went on my first overseas holiday to the UK. Currently I love Chanel Mademoiselle Intense ♥️
fantastic review and explanation, best to date and I have watched many perfumes videos, Thank you
I used J'Adore, and everybody always asked me what I was wearing. But Provocative Woman by Elizabeth Arden was even more asked about. Also, Joy by Jean Patou, which was my wedding fragrance, got a lot of compliments. CK One is also a hit. As is Pleasures by Estee Lauder. What am I wearing now? You'll never guess! Pink Grapefruit by The Body Shop!
ha haa very recently Ive been using white musk Body Shop straight after the shower, great base fragrance to layer first before my $400 bottles. Or I just leave on its own if Im not going out anywhere.
@@MM-li8nk I wear the White Musk fragrance together with the Pink Grapefruit. What an awesomely fresh feeling!
I still wear Joy by Jean Patou! I think it is as iconic as they come
Reading your comment transported me back to my mother's bedroom and the bottle of Joy on her perfume tray...
I’m wearing Joy right now. “I choose JOY! “
I tell myself that when I apply it.
Loved this video and would enjoy more perfume videos from you:) I mostly agree with your list. I would also add Coco for the spices and the animalic factor and Lolita Lempicka for its combination of licorice and violet.
You forgot 4711 which was first produced in 1799! It's still selling despite not being as expensive as Chanel and had a large range of both affordable and exclusive products!
True, one of the oldest scents in production, and to me the cleanest, the freshest and the most naturel. Can 't live without it.
Interesting topic. One of my favorite scents is No. 4711, an old classic. Some of the scents mentioned are iconic, no doubt, but they sometimes remind me of old ladies with too much make-up on and too heavily perfumed🤣I ran into that on the New York subways growing up.
Mine is also 4711. So fresh and natural, an eternal classic that has existed since the 18th century. Napoleon loved it too :) .
Loved your summary of what makes a fragrance iconic. Thank you, Justine!
I think that, out of recent years, the stand outs would be Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt, Le Labo Santal 33 and Replica By the Fireplace, I'm not crazy about them, but they're unique scents and they've taken well to the market. However, to quote Phineas and Ferb "this is the future and everything's already been done", maybe there's nothing left to invent
We have come away from nature, going to synthetic accords. Maybe things will go full circle, as fashions do that come around again!
I would add Mitsouko by Guerlain, a feminine dream. Diorissimo was super but unfortunately it has been modernized and is not as good as it was. The same for O de Lancôme, it was the perfume of young girls in ‘70 and ‘80, the smell of a time that will never get back again❤️ sublime.
And Oh! de London. That was a fun one way back.
O de Lancôme is wonderful!! but so hard to find. The same as Laura Bagiotti. It seems like the ones I like best are always that way. Why.....😭
That fresh green tea scent 💕
Yes. EU laws ruined many a perfume. For instance they can no longer use as much oak moss. 😠 backbone of chypres
@@Teewriter is this for ecological reasons?
My all time choice is Dior Addict. Thank you for this video, it was so interesting!!
Oh I LOVED addict and along with ck one, it is one of very few I bought over and again. I loved the bottle - everything.
Love this content, Justine! I'm really tickled pink by anything from Guerlain, loving the vintages and currently after a sample of Mitsouko. Perfumes seem to be the watered down shells of their former selves, (Eternity by Calvin Klein!!!) I'd love if you touch on how reformulations have happened re: IFRA :D
I would like to know about that, too.
I have every one of these. My favorites are Chanel #5 & L'Air Du Temps. Thanks!
Great video! My life has embraced Charlie, Tea Rose, Chloe, Clinique Elixir, Anais Anais, Diorissimo, Malone Grapefruit. Perfumes can be specific to seasons. Perfumes can impact me.
I stopped at Fragonard where some of the perfume bases are made and had a fascinating time listening to the lady who was telling us about perfumes and how they're put together. I wanted to get the base for No5 but it ended up being nothing on me - the lady said a perfume will react differently to each wearer and Coco was the scent I like the best. I'm completely sold on the idea of perfume - regardless of whether it's just a silly golden dream, for some reason, perfume is one of the items I can't be at all sensible about.
I visited the Fragonard factory in Grasse when I was 13-14. Loved it!
@@marroosh Oh yes! I loved it too 😊
Nahema by Guerlain is my signature scent . I also discovered Sparkling Bouquet by Guerlain which is wonderful for Spring / Summer holidays !
Thankyou, Justine, for the informative video.
Oh Justine, what a wonderful video for Valentine’s Day. I loved this so much. I have strong scent memories of Channel, Shalimar, L’air Du Temps and Opium. #2, You’re almost at a million subscribers! So happy for you! #3, I just ordered your “big” ring today - in gold - It means so much to me to have something so extraordinary from someone I adore. I’m not a big shopper, so this will be a very special piece for me. I’ve wanted it for months and today was the day. Thank you for everything.
So interesting, I love videos like this!
Im suscribed to your channel, and watch your videos all the time, they are very well structured , full of content , always interesting , and always learn something new,, thank you¡
