I enjoy how your channel explores the many facets of perfume. Perfume can be thought-provoking, expressive, and sometimes--like in this video--unabashedly fun. Loved the list!
Love that you did this. Always great to mix things up and not always take life (perfume, for a start) too serious. When thinking of Barbie and Ken I always think of The Three Stigmatas of Palmer Eldritch by Philip K. Dick. In the novel, people on mars enjoy their free time through a small "perfect" layout world which they basically enter through a drug to distract themselves from the bleak reality. The barbie type main character in the layout world is called Perkie Pat.
Sometimes, it feels good to channel your inner Barbie...I was waiting for the JPG Classique/Le Male combo. I love that Moschino and I don't wear it as often as I should either. Great list, great idea!!!
Love so many of the choices, especially the LPRN and Songes & Eau d'Hadrien! I miss their classic bottle designs they were so charming! Eau d'Hadrien is so good at cutting through hot humid weather and lasts all day on me! I would also include La Chasse aux papillons & Pink Sugar for Barbie!
That was just the best live . You definitely did overthink your choices but I loved virtually every one and have worn most . I’m excited for the film and most definitely be wearing my fav Lipstick 💄 Rose 🌹. Thank you for a very fun one 🩷💕
Thanks for this fun video! I can absolutely imagine Barbie wearing these. She might also wear Guerlain Insolence, and Jardins des Bagatelles. Maybe even Cacharel LouLou, maybe that one is more Midge. Yes Prada Candy for sure. I will have to drive to Houston to revisit Boy. I have Misia, and only wear it on the coldest day. Love this video.
I’m so glad you went along with this idea! 🤣 I suggested Lipstick Rose and Insolence in a comment to your sandalwood video but it strangely disappeared. They are both so wonderfully kitsch and cheerful and go so well with the theme. It seems my message still got through by way of magic - yay! 🎉😂
I love the creativity of this video. The concept of Barbie choosing Ken’s fragrance fits with the first half of the film by the end Ken would probably pick his own scent and unfortunately something he thinks is Uber masculine like Aventus or Sauvage. He probably would also like Parfum de Marley since he loves horses maybe Layton. The first choice of Chanel was spot on as Barbie wears Chanel clothing in the film. Margot Robbie is a brand rep for Chanel. Beach and Tropical theme but not marine definitely also works for Barbie and Ken. Great video!
Wonderful idea, and lovely picks! I think Guerlain's Insolence would work as well, with that hairspray hiss it would be good for an 80ies Barbie. And Yves Saint Laurent Baby Doll; bright, pink, fruity but incredibly fun and substantial too.
I never had a Barbie doll, but I had all the She-Ra dolls and Jem & The Holograms. I would love to scent those characters. Was also a huge fan of The Thundercats, which could be interesting.... this could send me down an animalic rabbit hole. This has been an unexpectedly fun video, I paused the video and did a quick list, making my guesses of what you would choose, fun to participate and anticipate! I disagree with many of your choices, agree with Boy and Angel, but that's the fun of all of this! Thanks for the perfumery fun on a Thursday afternoon. Cheers!
Frig! Missed the live stream again! Commenting prior to watching. Please tell me you've put Prada Candy as number one. What scent could be Barbier (or Kenier as I'm a guy who wears it)?
something powdery like Teint de Neige by Lorenzo Villoresi for Barbie...maybe Dans Tes Bras for Ken which is soapy, piney, powdery and kind of synthetic...something sweet and almondy like What We Do In Paris is Secret while Barbie has a year abroad as an exchange student...
Interesring how Songes reminds you of beaches and bright colors, it makes me think of a damp and hot jungle with colorful carnivore flores. Poison Ivy would wear this!
LPRN Couture has much more oakmoss than the other flankers. This is the most chypre-like, it's actually too traditional for my tastes. I'd love to hear what you think about the third stage of its development.
This was such a clever vídeo and Barbie would approve the pink shirt 😃. I am more Elvira than Barbie but the fragrance selectio was só good. I think Valentino Donna could have made the list, if only for the prettiest pink bottle PS: I own Lipstick Rose I agree it is a happy scent
I loved my Barbies as a kid and I think you went way more artistic than I would. I think their vibe was far more Prada Candy or Ariana Grande Cloud for Barbie and Dior Savage or Blue de Chanel for Ken.
As soon as I saw the thumbnail I had to click on the video. I didn't get to see the Live chat replay, but it must have been too soon after the live because it is available now -- this means I have to rewatch it with the chat replay! 😘
Always enjoy and learn fromyour videos and glad youve tried something different. this is a bit “off the deep end”. Would matching perfumes for characters in iconic movies be fun? You’ve done this in blogs I think.
There is actually a new Barbie perfume by DefineMe Beauty Mr P. It is a collaboration with Mattel. There was also a limited edition Zara Barbie perfume that price gougers are retailing for $300. You must weigh in and review!
I saw Barbie yesterday (it was a lovely and funny film but maybe less ironic that I was hoping for) and agree with all wonderful picks. For Barbie and her wide-eyed naivety and retro charm I choose some lighter version of Chanel No 5 - L'Eau or even Eau Premiere. For Ken with his (spoiler alert!) obsession with horses - a leather scent with a touch of fruits ;) And Weird Barbie played by Kate McKinnon will be wearing something edgy by Comme des Garcons - perhaps from Series 6: Synthetic :D Greetings from Katowice, Marta
A Barbie video, you had to go there!!!! No, she would not go niche, though I totally see her in anything Parfums de Marly; the tassels alone would qualify.
my top five (you know barbie is not a one-perfume girl): decadence by jacobs, lady million by rabanne, l'interdit by givenchy, pink fresh couture by moschino and ricci ricci
Agent Provacateur for Barbie. Super sexy and comes in a pink bottle. Cool Water for Ken? Their relationship was actually...brother and sister!! Barbara and Kenneth were Barbie's inventor, Ruth Handler's children!
I'm going to go see Barbie. Greta Gerwig is the director. I very much enjoyed her in Frances ha. Chanel Boy is a good pick. Annick's Eau d Hadrien is a good one too. I'm going old-school mall style baby. 2014 La Nuit or 2014 YSL's Sport. Something like that. I was actually more of a river rat/cellar rat than a mall rat. I went to the music shops and the movie theaters. That's pretty much where I was when the malls were huge in the latter 80s and 90s. Please do a movie review of Barbie is you go Persolaise.
For me barbie didn't put feminism back. I had a mother that told me all I'd ever be was a wife and mother and I just needed to find man. Barbie taught me I could be anything. I could still be me and girlie and have a job doing anything. Love this idea
In response to your comment about walking into any store and closing you eyes to make the choice... so this is "classy Barbie and Ken" versus "trashy Barbie and Ken".
I enjoy how your channel explores the many facets of perfume. Perfume can be thought-provoking, expressive, and sometimes--like in this video--unabashedly fun. Loved the list!
That’s very kind, Sharon. Thank you.
Brilliant, so much fun, and I’m all for that. Films and fragrance colliding = absolute goldmine of content in my opinion.
Thanks very much indeed.

Thanks very much. And that PKD story sounds fascinating.

Thank you… the Gaultiers were on the long-list 😉

Thanks for all these suggestions.
I'm upset that I missed this stream! But excited to hear your thoughts and perhaps wear one of these to my showing of Barbie
Let me know which one you choose.
That was just the best live . You definitely did overthink your choices but I loved virtually every one and have worn most . I’m excited for the film and most definitely be wearing my fav Lipstick 💄 Rose 🌹. Thank you for a very fun one 🩷💕
Thanks, Angela. I really don’t know where my Lipstick Rose has got to.

You’re right about Insolence.
@@Persolaise Maybe the Bagatelles is what Barbie's mom wears, lol.
@@bonniel4325 Barbie's mother??! That's a whole other video!

Insolence would work extremely well.
Thanks for watching.
I absolutely am so in love with your channel so happy I discovered it !! Hanae Mori Butterfly reminds of barbie from the get-go
That's so kind, thank you.
Most unexpected theme but also amazed see the fanatic list. This movie hype can not be escaped 💃
No, it really can’t.
I never had a Barbie doll, but I had all the She-Ra dolls and Jem & The Holograms. I would love to scent those characters. Was also a huge fan of The Thundercats, which could be interesting.... this could send me down an animalic rabbit hole.

I'm now thinking about perfumes for He-Man and She-Ra...
Love this whole Barbie and Ken perfume banter love
Thank you.
You are the best, the perfect balance between competence and irony : )
Grazie Maestro !
Thanks very much indeed!
Frig! Missed the live stream again! Commenting prior to watching. Please tell me you've put Prada Candy as number one. What scent could be Barbier (or Kenier as I'm a guy who wears it)?
Ooooh… I really wanted to include Candy.
@@Persolaise I am crushed! Crushed I tell thee! Candy with Luna Rossa for Ken, D!!! Ken, D sounds like Candy. See?! It was fated.
@@-HRH 😁
I have never had an inner Barbie , but I commend you for taking on this Barbie and Ken video.
Thanks very much. Or should I say, my inner Barbie thanks you very much.
I love this idea 💯 Mr. P
Thanks very much.
something powdery like Teint de Neige by Lorenzo Villoresi for Barbie...maybe Dans Tes Bras for Ken which is soapy, piney, powdery and kind of synthetic...something sweet and almondy like What We Do In Paris is Secret while Barbie has a year abroad as an exchange student...
I did consider DTB as the Malle Ken… but I couldn’t find my Lipstick Rose!
I have been warchibg your channel for years and I love that you continue to surprise me and teach me something new ❤
That’s so kind, Lia. Thank you.
This was hystericaly awesome😂 really enjoyed your sense of humor, enjoy your summer break, already looking forward to autumn season
Thanks very much indeed.
The beyond paradise ad with Madonna’s love profusion was epic. As was the men’s beyond paradise fragrance. I always want it to come back
Such a shame that BP wasn’t more successful.
Interesring how Songes reminds you of beaches and bright colors, it makes me think of a damp and hot jungle with colorful carnivore flores. Poison Ivy would wear this!
Ah, that’s fascinating.
Wow….✨ Mr P you made this sooo much fun!! And what a good list!!!!🩷🌸✨
I'm so glad you liked it.
LPRN Couture has much more oakmoss than the other flankers. This is the most chypre-like, it's actually too traditional for my tastes. I'd love to hear what you think about the third stage of its development.
I’ll see if I can report back. Thanks for watching.
I sometimes describe perfumes as "bubblegum pop" like the music, but I'll start describing them as barbie instead. Lovely video, very entertaining.
Thanks very much indeed.
this is such a fun and fuchsia video! i love it. One of your best videos to be honest and i dont mean that as a joke! Pink really suits you
😂 Thanks very much indeed.
As a former owner of a Barbie doll in the 80s (in full pink leotard and pink & white skirt) I claim Barbie to be a Dior girl, wearing Dior Addict.
Dior Addict is definitely the one she’d go for!
This was such a clever vídeo and Barbie would approve the pink shirt 😃. I am more Elvira than Barbie but the fragrance selectio was só good. I think Valentino Donna could have made the list, if only for the prettiest pink bottle
PS: I own Lipstick Rose I agree it is a happy scent
Thanks very much. I need to own Lipstick Rose again.
I loved my Barbies as a kid and I think you went way more artistic than I would. I think their vibe was far more Prada Candy or Ariana Grande Cloud for Barbie and Dior Savage or Blue de Chanel for Ken.
I suspect you’re right.
I missed the live but am here at the start of the recording and I’m strangely excited 😂
Ah, good to know.

Thanks very much. Hope you enjoyed it.
Kudos to you for doing this video. You are a good sport. I could care less about Barbie and Ken, but I suppose that I am in the minority.
Always enjoy and learn fromyour videos and glad youve tried something different. this is a bit “off the deep end”. Would matching perfumes for characters in iconic movies be fun? You’ve done this in blogs I think.
Thanks very much. It’s always fun trying something different.

Ummm… I’ll see what I can do 😂
Yes Masters of the universe top 10 for sure! And then give your suggestions for all of the main characters. I will be waiting for Orko's fragrance!
We’ll have to save that one for another time… 😂
So funny 😂. Thanks for the list Mr P.
Thanks very much for watching.
Did you ever try l'artisan skin on skin ? Iris suede whisky but had a platicky dolls head vibe
Yes, I seem to remember trying that one.
Thanks for watching.
Loved the video as always! Now please do one for Oppenheimer 😂
Oh gosh - that won’t be happening 😂
Commenting as I go...yes you DO have a 10ml vial of Lipstick Rose. You have featured it before. La belle madame P has well and truly knicked it.
Aha!!! Or maybe I finished it and I just can’t remember. Thanks very much, anyway.
I agree,I also remember Mr P smelling it iin a video.
Where on earth has it got to, then??
@@Persolaise Hahahaha I know whereof you speak. Like socks, some of my perfumes often escape the asylum.
What a fun idea!🌸😄
Glad you liked it.

Ha! Good point about PdM 😂
my top five (you know barbie is not a one-perfume girl): decadence by jacobs, lady million by rabanne, l'interdit by givenchy, pink fresh couture by moschino and ricci ricci
Superb suggestions, thank you.
Omg I have all of the women ones, and they're amongst my favorites 😅 am I a Barbie girl and I don't know it ?
I couldn’t possibly comment 😂
Agent Provacateur for Barbie. Super sexy and comes in a pink bottle. Cool Water for Ken? Their relationship was actually...brother and sister!! Barbara and Kenneth were Barbie's inventor, Ruth Handler's children!
Ah, well that explains a lot… I think 😆
I'm going to go see Barbie. Greta Gerwig is the director.
I very much enjoyed her in Frances ha.
Chanel Boy is a good pick. Annick's Eau d Hadrien is a good one too.
I'm going old-school mall style baby. 2014 La Nuit or 2014 YSL's Sport.
Something like that.
I was actually more of a river rat/cellar rat than a mall rat.
I went to the music shops and the movie theaters.
That's pretty much where I was when the malls were huge in the latter 80s and 90s.
Please do a movie review of Barbie is you go Persolaise.
Thanks very much. I think she’s very talented.
Parfums de Marly "Oriana" is definately the most Barbie fragrancs that comes to mind. 🏵🙄 Ken can wear Tom Ford "Soliel Blanc 🏝🏖😎
I can see Ken in many TF offerings.
@@Persolaise Ken and Barbie at a nude beach! 😎
Hilarious concept.
Thanks.
Pony Boy by Jorum Studio or Candy by Prada!
Another vote for Candy.
Any chance of an Action Man/ Doctor X list video?
Who knows… 😆
Did you change t-shirt in some moment😂orange - pink
You’ll have to watch from the beginning to find out what happened.
I thought lives are on Monday, omg is it Monday already, time passes so fast
Thanks for watching.
Wait, Barbie and Ken have broken up?! 💔
Apparently!! Who knew?
For me barbie didn't put feminism back. I had a mother that told me all I'd ever be was a wife and mother and I just needed to find man. Barbie taught me I could be anything. I could still be me and girlie and have a job doing anything. Love this idea
Ah, brilliant. That’s so great to read, thank you.
In response to your comment about walking into any store and closing you eyes to make the choice... so this is "classy Barbie and Ken" versus "trashy Barbie and Ken".
Ha! If you say so 😉
The BEST 😂
Thank you ☺️
See I think Barbie would wear Alien not Angel? Burberry her. And the best bubble gum smelling perfume so L interdit Rouge
Another vote for Alien.
Ken would wear Versace Eros lol 😂
You’re probably right.
Oh, dear. Really, Persolaise? 👎🏻
Thanks for the feedback.
