    Sycamore has been my signature fragrance that all my friends and family know me for for over 14yrs. ❤ The spice pairs perfectly with my personality and how I look I feel. Absolutely love. I still have an almost full bottle of the original Sycamore before they changed the sent and formula. I use my original one for only very special occasions and the newer version as my everyday.

      You better hold on to that original bottle and keep it away from heat, moisture, and light.
      How is the new scent vs the original version?

    I enjoy the Les Exclusifs line. Sycamore is a beautiful fragrance. Le Lion is my favorite in the line.

    I have tested Sycomore, Encre Noir and Encre Noir A l' Extreme and I find that both them remind me of Sycomore but neither has that creamy smooth vetiver accord that Sycomore has and neither are as subtle and this is the reason why i will buy Sycomore as it is subtle fragrance which is perfect for the office and a signature.

    Sycomore is probably my all-time favorite fragrance. The smell and longevity is amazing but sillage is not super great, you'd have to come pretty close to me to smell it

    • @darian7802
      @darian7802 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think that makes sense, no? Given the brand and the target demographic, I am guessing most buyers want a on office/gala/etc. friendly fragrance

    I like Chanel quite a bit, especially Les Éxclusifs. I get a compliment every time I wear Coromandel - I should buy a full bottle. Sycomore is wonderful, Boy is great, I love No. 22, Cuir de Russie is one of my fav.s...

    One brilliant alternative to Sycamore is Les Abstrait's Des Cendres. I tried both Sycamore and Des Cendres side-by-side and from first spray to last, over several days, I preferred Des Cendres.

    Sycomore EDT is very classy and elegant and a great performer too. Disappointed with the EDP, not sure if I would buy 400 ml of it.

    Encre Noire and Fat Electrician are special too!

    Sycomore is one of my top 5 all time fragrances! Your videos are always very informative, please keep up the good work!
    Also, I recently tested AmourOud’s Lunar Vetiver, and I saw one of your videos talking about the fragrance. Don’t you think it is a kind of a darker, spicier version of Sycomore? On my skin it does smell like that for a while.

    I have a sample of Le Lion Chanel and I did not like it at all. Very bitter and masculine. However, I did buy Coramandal (whatever that’s spelt) I love it and hate it but very headache inducing for $200. So I had to return it. I personally think all of Chanel exclusive line is not safe blind buys. It’s best for people to visit Chanel boutique or upscale retail stores like Saks to get full in person experience before purchasing. Especially, one to splurge in that significant amount of money. Your review on this line will help a lot of people.

  • @mikefordsaccount4900

    Currently £2667 per litre... I last bought Sycamore in 2015 for £100 for a 100ml. Amazing fragrance but seriously pricey.

  • @inspectorfadgadget3919

  • @johnychen8143
    @johnychen8143 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I find Sycomore more refined , smoother and creamier than Encre Noir. Encre Noir is a great deal for a flanker though, but it has some harsh notes compared with Sycomore.

  • @osivot

    So for me Chanel sycamore smells great however I do find it expensive for a fragrance I do not look to wear more then once or twice a year. Now I agree owning the bottle is truly wonderful but I can never justify buying a full bottle. I do however make sure I always have a 10 ml decant around. It’s on my list but it does get passed up for other offerings. I still love it regardless

    Nope. It was a quick duty free error. I have the smaller size. I tried another vetiver perfume. I prefer Vetyver by Chantecaille. It could be a chemistry issue. It’s just too sharp for me.

    I’d love to have a bottle from this Chanel line, but Sycamore isn’t the one for me. I’m not into the green vetiver type scent. I’d love for them to do a fruity, freshie or gourmand type. I guess those style aren’t as classy as Chanel usually does but one can wish

      On my skin EDT is smokier, more rooty vetiver, has more character, & has better performance(although many have said that the EDT performance was terrible so i guess it depends on skin chemistry, I prefer the EDT)EDP is smoother, softer, slightly creamier with a sandalwood drydown, it whispers on skin.Feels more in line with the Chanel aesthetic.
