Guerlain Apres L'Ondee Perfume Review - Après L'Ondée And Its Misty Gardens After The Rain Shower
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ส.ค. 2024
- Today I review Guerlain's 1906 fragrance Apres L'Ondee. The idea for this fragrance was born more than a hundred years ago. Does this scent in its current eau de toilette concentration hold up to the times or has it been heavily reformulated to the point of no recognition? Après L'Ondée in French means after the rain shower and is supposed to evoke a misty humid natural landscape after a thunder storm or rain in spring or summer. This landscape is covered in purple flowers like iris and violets. What other images does this perfume evoke in my mind? Which other stories does it tell me and what journey does it take me on? Like every good historic Guerlain fragrance, this one too goes through many layers of depth and, just like an onion, as we peel one layer off, a new one awaits us underneath with an even more evolved and riper olfactive facet. I hope you enjoy the video.

No, I have never heard stories like yours about perfumes...I listen to you so intensely that I forget to breathe. Love you, beautiful Dacob.
Thank you Greta 🥹🙏🏻💖🌅🌅🌅
Same here hehe❤
I say it once and once only…. There’s no other TH-camr describing Parfums that deep and beautiful as you do
Thank you Jacob 🙏🏻💖🌅
I agree. 🥰
I really appreciate your perspective on perfumes. Your reviews become storytelling in the most authentic way.
Thank you cmk 🙏🏻🥰
You are absolutely unique! No one is as captivating... to your "talk about a fragrance review!" ❤
Thank you again most kindly 🥰💖
I explained my comment a bit more... just to share my thought
He needs to teach !! I would go to whatever college he taught at!! Ha
Lol……love your Downton Abbey analogy! Brilliant Dacob! Thank you for reviewing the Guerlain brand! I’m interested in others as well.
Thank you Linda 🥰🙏🏻💖
Very nice analogy! Its an interesting aspect you underlined. I just wish, you would mention more about, what Apres L’Ondee tells us about it’s creator Jacques Guerlain. I think he was indeed a romantic and dreamer. Maybe he was priveleged, but also an artist. I can adore his work as art, without condemn it because of its context. I hope everybody can still enjoy Apres L’Ondee in a pleasant dreamy way, without solely thinking of the servants and injustice. Maybe today it express more equality than ever before, because we can actually afford to wear it. Thanks for the review! ❤️
Maybe watch my entire video before you comment because from your comment I can see that you have either not watched my review in its integrity or have mot understood it.
I don't think much has changed since those times. Most people today are still the servants stuck in a rut to survive, exploited to their very core, to earn what is usually a joke, while their effort isn't even valued.Meanwhile, most employers, CEOs, fill their bank accounts and have the most amazing lives. Some could afford perfume, some couldn't, some can buy niche and luxury brands today, some can't. It wil always be like that, I'm afraid. The only place where we are truly free is our mind. Loved the review as always. And the look!!! ❤
Dear Sara, thank you. 🙏🏻💖 I agree to a certain degree. Today, unlike in 1906, when Apres L’Ondee was released, we have access to wonderful perfumes which are cheapies. They used to cost a lot in the eras when they were first released but today they cost considerably less. And so today we can purchase new perfumes like Lou Lou, Eden, Cabotine, Liz Claiborne, Obsession, Eternity and so on for under 20 dollars for a full new bottle! Perfumes have in many ways today become much more democratic. There will always be expensive niche and luxury offerings but unlike n 1906, today we thankfully have other options too.
@@essence-tiallydacob9611 I agree with you concerning that aspect Jacob, and thank god for that! 😆 Will always love Obsession for instance. Cheapie doesn't necessarily mean bad. Sometimes I find myself craving wearing a particular cheaper fragrance. Although there were many negative aspects, I just sometimes wonder if the servants of the past weren't somehow happier in their simple lives as some took pride in serving a particular family. I guess I am just tired of the daily struggles of today.
As someone from the language and literature field, I really appreciate and enjoy how you describe a fragrance.
Love you looooooads! 🤣❤
Love you lots!
Very well said
Dear Dacob, I have thumbed up your video before I have even seen it as I am certain it will be super as usual. As I said it before to you, you are my very favourite TH-camr. Your eloquent, precise and passion you display always mesmerise me. You bring sunshine to a dull day in England. It s been years I have been following you and I am not ready to stop watching you. You are far better than any boring perfume reviewers. Your video was far too early or to late to watch on live in the Uk but I am going to watch it later today xxx ❤
Thank you so much Helene for always being so kind and supportive of me. 🥰🌅💖 Happy weekend 🍓❤️
@essence-tiallydacob9611 Thank you for your lovely answer Dacob :) It is my Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 tomorrow actually. Have a nice weekend too xxx
I’m liking the video before even watching it because I’ve been patiently waiting for you to review ALO!
I hope you enjoy the journey through history and the stories this perfume tells me… 🥰💖🌸🌧️🌅🌊
Beautiful review Dacob would really like to get to know this perfume more. I agree there is an almost snobbishness to the Guerlain fragrances of this era. Piquet perfumes have a similar vein but without the snobby aspect. I love how you conjure up an image, a time a place .. more like an old black and white film lol when you take us through this perfume. Like opening a portal. I’m Livin ferret for looking at these perfumes from past times it’s like a perfume history lesson x
Thanks Aysh 🥹🙏🏻💖 the perfumes tell me the stories and I just share them with all my viewers 😊
Gosh l love your stories.. you are such a good storyteller and you are so in touch with the perfume world. Merci for your videos!
Thank you so much Nathalie 🥰🙏🏻🌅
As someone who has only begun collecting fragrances in the last few years, there are so many of these old classics that I long to try. It is so sad to hear that many have been reduced to shadows of their former selves, and that the experience I will have with them won't be the same. I hate that corporate greed has taken precedent over the perfumer's intended vision.
I'll be honest. Sometimes I cry at your words and the wonderful descriptions you give. You are my light at the end of the tunnel and the one that leads me to another world ❤️ I'd like to ask you since you said that this perfume has a note of struggle of the servants who made this perfume possible, which Guerlain Légendaire perfume smells of suffering of Mistress of the house? A perfume that tells the other side of wealth from the perspective of a rich woman. Thank you, my dear. 🌹
Thank you Svetlana. 💖 Well, most Guerlain perfumes from that era seem to be made for the wealthy so poetry aside, these fragrances were made with the wealthy in mind in my opinion. They were all made for the mistress of the house or for wealthy men. Apres l’ondee is that perfume. It is a smell of the rich bourgeoisie of the time, with all its complications and pleasures, passions and delusions, love affairs, betrayals and broken hearts in the rain…
Excellent review D 👏👏👏
Thank you Mahora 🙏🏻🥰💖
I love that you always speak the truth about your impressions of a perfume, even if it is sacrilege. Along with great perfume history. I do think L'HeureBleue and Apres L'Ondee in particular did not fair well through the reformulations, meanwhile I will still wear modern Shalimar versions.
These Iconic perfumes have been tweaked over the years to match changing tastes, and then add to that IFRA and corporate greed, and these historic perfumes must smell quite different. Anyone sampling different vintages of these historic perfumes has had the experience of shock when smelling vintage versions, sometimes positive, sometimes negative 😂
Thank you Lia 💖🥰 the older the perfumes and the more reformulations they might have gone through throughout the decades.
I love how your outfit and makeup match the perfume. Beautiful color on you!
Thank you very much DD
Dacob, this may have been one of your best reviews ever…very interesting, highly psychologically based, and personal in an intellectual way, beyond any review I’ve seen from you up to this point. Your opinions and impressions are very thought-provoking…
Thank you Lisa 🙏🏻🥰💖
This perfume puts me in a very specific scenery. From Les Misérables In the Jardin du Lexembourg with Jean Valjean and Cosette. Jean Valjean and Cosette both suffered from povrety and injsutice, and they finally experience peace and they are hopeful for the future. Just sitting there in the garden. Cosette, this poor kid gets to experience this beautiful perfume dispite the damage life did to her.
Hi my dear, good review as always, even if i have to say that I think your point of view could be suitable for every old perfume, for N.5 as well. All perfumes were made for rich people in the past. However I love the almondy, heliotropy scent of the Guerlain DNA 🥹 I think is the essence of the legendary Guerlinade. Un caro saluto, a presto tesoro 🩷
Thank you 🙏🏻 but I cannot agree. While perfumes were made for who could afford them in the past, and those were mostly wealthy people, I make a distinction between a perfume smelling of those times and that history while portraying nature such as Après L’Ondée and the other perfumes which do not mimic nature in the same way but rather go the abstract route as No5 does.
Also lets not forget that there are almost twenty years between the two fragrances’ releases and in those twenty years a lot happened in Europe on many levels, economically, politically, technically, culturally and spiritually. Europe of 1906 was extremely different to the Europe of 1921.
While Après L’Ondée was released in 1906, it still had its olfactive roots very far deep into 1800’s and we can smell it out if we know how. Between these two perfumes stand many revolutions and most importantly a World War! Ideas changed a lot between 1906 and 1921. More was possible in 1921 than in 1906… women’s rights movements and suffragettes alone made No5 more of a perfume and scent for the future than Après L’Ondée could ever be. In fact Après L’Ondée is a contemplative, slow, non changing sleepy past world, almost Victorian in its nature while No5 is dynamic, bursting with desire to revolutionize the world and involve everybody in that revolution. These two perfumes indeed lay eons apart on so many levels.
What a beautiful, introspective, genuine review. Beautifully done, Dakob!! ❤
Thank you Angelitazayas 🙏🏻🥰
You are legendary❤
This review almost got me tears falling... I'm rewatching now👏🏻🥳
Thank you so much Eva 🙏🏻🥰💖🥹🌅
This review is pure poetry
Thank you Kari 🙏🏻💖🥰
I could never tell the difference between Après l'Ondée and L'Heure Bleue unless I have two scent strips with me. I am not a fan of either and I, very recently, gave my 2010 bottle of L'Heure Bleue to a friend. And, I don't like violet scents either. Mizia, Balenciaga as well. They all have a huge nostalgia note... but I can certainly imagine Violetta from La Traviata wearing these perfumes. I can see why Chypre by Coty was such a monumental hit (1917) and, of course, Chanel No. 5. Lovely review.
Dear Dacob, thank you for that piece, I can relate. I was visiting the Neues Palais in Potsdam yesterday and thinking back now I can totally see Wilhelm II and his crowd wearing this fragrance while having the servants clean the new water closets. Very interesting thoughts you gave there.
Hi Tina 🥰🌅💖 Yes, that was my intention, to evoke that past time and also the pace and rhythm at which people in those days lived. 🌅
Very interesting review, Dacob! Not what I was expecting, but wonderful nonetheless.
Thank you DD
May I offer a perspective on associations with perfume? Every point in time is saturated with human wretchedness. Certainly, we are currently living in a time filled with inhumanity, injustice, immorality, the-servants-and-those-who-are-served. I believe perfume (and all art) that is truly created as art (not simply for commerce), comes from a space that is beyond our physical existence, and therefore, transcends time and ‘us’. Thank you dear Dacob, for this very thought-provoking review of Apres L’ Ondee, and for giving us this place to honor perfume.
This reminds me that I still need to test Apres L'Ondee. I'm here for the aldehydes!!
im loving my bee bottle apres and will cherish it for as long as i can. however i need a certain mood to wear it. it has some melancholy to it, and i feel that sadness that youre talking about. excellent review as always and thank you for making my day
Thank you Abdul 🥰💖🌅
Such a Hegelian lecture on perfume
As long as its not Kant, I am down with Hegel!
Another gem. 💝
What a storyteller you are!
It´s never never never boring, Dacob. Thank you! 🌸🥰
Thank you Kay 🥹🙏🏻💖
@@essence-tiallydacob9611
Today it arrived. They should pay commission to you! 🤍💚
… but - I don ´t like it. 😂🤭
Maybe tomorrow. Lol.
Very much enjoyed the review and story, Dacob! I used to have this too but never connected with it.
Thanks Damien 🥰🌅 this one needs time to hit that dry-down… then its all good. But the opening is what I think makes it difficult for us to relate to or connect with.
Wonderful Dacob👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Would you make a rewiew on Guerlain Idylle and Guerlain L' Instant ?? I'm your biggest lover from Brazil🎉
I already reviewed L’Instant 😉 a while ago. Here the video: th-cam.com/video/EnX5uH1SSqM/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
@@essence-tiallydacob9611 Jacob dear🌟, What about Guerlain Idylle✨️✨️✨️ from Les Legendaires collection ?
I’ve loved the classic vintage Guerlain scents for decades. They synch with my personal preferences and are a complex rather than a simple joy. Reformulations are anxiety provoking though!
The power of scent to bring back memories “A la recherche du temps purdu”, even for times not lived in this lifetime?
Proust knew what he was writing about but a perfumer tackles much more complex time travel than a writer does 😉🌅💖
Hi, I personnally never got into après l'onde, I always found it particulally snobish as you say, and even superficial, it has no projection no longevity... it did belonged to super bored upper class people, something that comes and go, has no real purpose. But, it's definetly interesting to wear it nowadays I agree with you ... Love you ❤❤❤❤
Thank you 🥰🙏🏻🌅💖
Reading is fundamental.
Wugo wugo 😉🌅
Great review.
Thank you Martina 🙏🏻💖
Прекрасный обзор ❤
Thank you 💖
Because reading is what…? FUNDAMENTAL! 💃🏼❤️
Yassss hahahah 🤣🤣💖💖💖
Descrizione meravigliosa di Apres L’ondee. Thank you 🙏
Mille grazie Filippo 🥰🌅💖
When you spoke of fear as the memory invoked by scent. It reminded me of the Downtown Abbey episode of the exiled Russian nobles living in extreme poverty. Dowager Lady Grantham meeting up with an old flame who was a man of riches and splendor in pre revolution Russia, but destitute in the story. Their memories are the fragrance. You speak in word pictures very effectively. Yes. Fragrances absolutely DO document periods of time in history! Years ago, Redken made a mens fragrance called Czar. It was similar to Xeyrus by Givenchy. The story there was one of tragedy. It was a delicious scent, but one that spelled doom.
I happen to love the scent of African violet. Looking for a perfume that I like in that range, just short of perfume oil.
I remember that episode well! Rade Serbedzija in the role of the destitute Czar… the actor is actually Serbian and not Russian though… but most people did not care to notice. 😉💖
Your french prononciation is perfect ! Do you speak that language ?
Thank you very much SamiC 🙏🏻🥰💖
I tried so hard to know this scent better, read and heard a lot.
While I watch your review again - I just washed it from my skin for the last time.
I can ´t stand it at all. And I cannot wait for the beautiful end, while I faint. Lol.
I let Balenciaga Paris, Comète and Cristalle save and revive me.
Petrichor … is so much more appealing to me in La Pausa or was it Bel Respiro … ?
But your review is gold, pure gold.
Puuh. Thanks again! 🤍
Petrichor is more prominent to me in Paris Edimbourg ☺️
Thanks friend r sharing 😇
🥰💖
I need Apres L’Ondee and Jicky.. and Vol De Nuit! I have Mitsouko and Nahema. I should’ve bought the bee bottles! Those classic Guerlains, they just really have something special! I love your content Dacob! On both channels. How about a nostalgic perfume video? 😉
Not much longevity by the bee bottle release :)
Please review Nahema that’s a completely different type of legendary perfume from the brand still wearing it to this day ❤ but it is a more recent perfume from the 70s
I hope to eventually get to review as many perfumes as possible from Guerlain 🥰🌅
❤
❤️
The new samsara Edp is around an hour on skin
I gotta say though, apres stays around as a whisper for quite some time later on. Have not tested the latest formulation of Samsara yet though.
Omg, really? I have a bee bottle and it has a good longevity.
I have frederic Marle’s L’eau d’Iver - does anyone know if they are similar.
I love winter water!
Malle not Marle. L' Eau d' Hiver not L' eau d' Iver :)
I’ve tried ordering and they don’t ship Apres L’Ondee to California 😢
I just checked and it is still available on the Guerlain US website
@@essence-tiallydacob9611 but California is a state with restrictions that don’t allow the ingredients in apres l ondee to ship here. This is what Guerlain customer service has told me.
Unfortunately reformulated fragnesis, are so far from the original
Hahahahha ''you get the second movie of Downtown Abbey'' You are so funny
So actually this is the perfect scent for people who are into this foolish "old money"-thing, believing classism is cool. Guys, the search is over!
Don't forget that the liberals of the class that you seem to be frowning upon were also the patrons of the arts and technologies that you enjoy today: theatre, music, art and design, architecture, couture, perfumery, travel, poetry, philosophy etc., and their privilege came with its own responsibilities and restraints. Someone like you, if not born into that class, would have found a place within the more niche fields of their patronage, as opposed to being a manual labourer. Our world would be quite dull if we had inherited the legacy of centuries of left-wing 'utopia', and you wouldn't be sitting there with 18th-century courtier vibes, discussing perfumery. What we call civilisation and culture would not have developed without the 'evils' and sacrifices generated by class systems, exploitation, and colonial aspiration. I do wish that Play-Doh smelt of something else, though, because that association with some of the best Guerlains is a complete bummer! 🤣
You are such a pip clogs. No clue why you chose “clever” as part of your username though. 🤣
@essence-tiallydacob9611 Because 'clever clogs' is an alliterative 'put-down' that is used in many English speaking countries. It's what you call someone that has said something intelligent but irritating - same as a 'pip'. I am autistic, so I use the term myself, before someone else does...
22:20 you always have a zest for critiquing the rich snobs who dont work...but in that zest...you sometimes come across as....well...alas
24:00 you are DEFINTELY part of that class...are you serious?!!?
relax qwing 🪷☸️🕉️
I was thinking the same 😂 but I was also wandering if I should write it, because probably I am going to be bashed for that. I mean it’s a great review, very intellectual, but guuurl I am not poor, but I am not rich and I can’t afford CHANEL bag or clothes, so I get the point. Speaking of the snobbery of this perfume we can apply the same thought processes to the other intellectual creations like literature, art ect. God knows that even today people are working off their asses and dying in poverty while we are having fun. You know what I mean 😂?
Are you okay? Gosh toxic people like you need to chill, you need to sort out your issues with a therapist not here on TH-cam! Specially with Dacob, he’s the best person ( on TH-cam) at the moment, not like you others wanna bees 🐝 get another hobby for your own mental health. Peace peace peace ✌️ as Dacob always says
You are so talented, Dacob. This is fantastic. ❤
