Like I commented in your other video, thank you for bringing this Athena Smokey Plum to my attention. I bought two bottles of the stuff, and really love it. The SMOKE is beautiful, and the plum is just right. I actually get more compliments from this than I do some of my more well known, expensive fragrances.
I agree with what you said in the first 30 seconds that plum Japoneis is more popular now than when it came out. I think it’s because of the way recent perfume trends have been going
I do own a brand new bottle of Plum Japonais. I purchased it last year from the Cosmetic company store. I bought it because it’s such a sought out fragrance. I’ve only tested it to see what it smells like on my hand. I will order Smokey plum and compare them. Alexandria fragrances version of Plum Japonais is spot on in my opinion when you’re smelling the dry-down. Side by side it’s about 90%accurate to my nose. I really like it.
I discovered Plum Japonais not long before it was discontinued and hesitated buying the full bottle. After powering through a sample I deeply regret not having bought the bottle at full retail. :(
I have a 1.7oz bottle of Plum Japonais that I ‘blind purchased’ brand new from a perfume site in September 2020. I used a small spritz to sample the scent and have not used it since.
Sorry again for saying you've never mentioned Athena Fragrances. I do remember the Smokey Plum mentioned in your previous video. If you can get your hands on Shams Dubai, it's an almost exact clone of Babycat. So much so, I sold my Babycat! Oh, and I bought Smokey Plum on your recommendation and I love it! I've purchased 7 fragrances from Athena now and absolutely love all of them.
With the TF having the oud notes I would lean towards the smokey plum, in itself it's an absolutely stunning note which I am always surprised doesnt feature in many more fragrances. That said I bet if I smelt the TF plum I would love it too
Thank you for this! I am one of those who LOVE Plum Japonais and am lucky to have a 10 ml bottle from several years back after it was discontinued but before the price went into the stratosphere. I've been scared to use up my bottle and I know there are dupes but it feels better to actually have one of those dupes reviewed and approved by you before I purchase.
Thank you. If I can do it I would trust me. But my hair is a mess not easy to put together. I felt like doing some videos with styled hair so I have several airing soon! :)
My nose is not as developed as yours, and I just have 5 ml of Plum Japonais, but I get what you say, they're very close. Have you tried Shams Dubai from them? I'm waiting for my bottle it supposed to be close to Babycat, I wil order a sample of Babycat to see how close they are. Thanks for the video Sebastian!!!
Lucky to have a bottle of Plum Japonais from 2017. A77 batch, 49/50 ml... I dont use it cause the prices have spiked up really high. EBay shows around 500 bucks per 50ml bottle. I might be tempted to sell it. Not sure what to do about it.
Wait, I didn’t know that Plum Japonais is popular again… I’ve been in love with this scent since its release but never pulled the trigger. last month I was on the search for a bottle on eBay and they’re extremely pricey. And although now I definitely have a much higher budget for fragrance, I will still look into alternatives and see what stands out. Thanks for your video. Great info as always❤
@Daniel L Yes I did. I don't know if it was real or a counterfeit but it was on there. Sometimes it happens. Someone clears out a warehouse & finds one in a corner or whatever a discounter scoops it up.
Why does TF do this to us 😭 I have empty bottles laying around of Amber Absolute, Patchouli Absolu, half used Oud Wood Intense..so sad and meaningless to create such amazing scents only to let them vanish

Fear of missing out. That’s all there is to it..
Interestingly enough, I found out about it, tried it, went a couple of weeks later to buy it and it was gone😢
Sounds like an interesting take on the much-loved classic. That price cannot be beat either.
Plum Japonais is the only tiny black bottle Tom Ford I spent my cash on. It's brilliant.

Lucky you found it.
@@ThePerfumeGuy Yes I was excited to get my hands on a bottle.
🙏🏿😊
90%? so its not spot on lmao

Athena is an Egyptian brand.
Getting from Egypt 🇪🇬

Yes to plum fragrances!

I bought Plum Japonais ages ago. 🤷♀️ it’s lasted well
Absence make the heart grow fonder…♥️♥️♥️
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed night
This is my favourite fragance ever and the only one i own 3 bottles off 😁
Thank you for sharing this. I was eyeing Alexandria’s version, Forbidden Plum too.
I thought it smelled like cigarettes in the dry down.
Awesome comparison..PJ is just awesome!
Both sound great!
Being a recent fragrance enthusiast, I never caught on to Plum Japonais, so I have no point of reference.
Thank you for this! I am one of those who LOVE Plum Japonais and am lucky to have a 10 ml bottle from several years back after it was discontinued but before the price went into the stratosphere.

Use it up, lifes about living! What's the point of having it if you don't wear it and enjoy it?
I love the hair/glasses ❤️. (I'm not a huge fan of the ball cap 😬)
Baseball hat 🧢 will be 90% of videos hair take too long to style. I don’t have the patience. Too busy.
@ThePerfumeGuy fair enough, love your content!
Thank you. If I can do it I would trust me. But my hair is a mess not easy to put together. I felt like doing some videos with styled hair so I have several airing soon! :)
I have Alexandira’s version. I’ll have to check this one out.
I need to check out more fragrances with plum in it, for sure.
Here's my Top 20 Plum Fragrances video: th-cam.com/video/YkgX8GrFG-4/w-d-xo.html in case you have interest in discovering the different options! :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy thanks!
I am very interested in trying plum scents!!
Hi Sebastian, thx a lot for the super great video. Thumbs up. Have an amazing day. Cheers from Stockholm
Smoky plum is amazing. Can't stop sniffing. Very reasonable price . 👏👏👏 to Athena company.
It’s a pretty good value for the price
My nose is not as developed as yours, and I just have 5 ml of Plum Japonais, but I get what you say, they're very close. Have you tried Shams Dubai from them? I'm waiting for my bottle it supposed to be close to Babycat, I wil order a sample of Babycat to see how close they are. Thanks for the video Sebastian!!!
I just put my 50ml up on eBay
Never been lucky enough to try Plum Japonais, have Rive D'ambre which is interesting and had Shanghai Lily but sold it on
I just put up my bottle on eBay
I wish there was an alternative available in the EU.
One of the best plum scents is Andy Warhol by Bond no9 that recentely I bought one and came to hypes is true.
Is Plum Japonais for men, or unisex?

Kinda wish Athena would offer a sample/decant set. Quite a few a wouldn't mind having 10 mL of.
Im happy with all athena perfumes
Really recommend all of u to try
I can give u suggested for a very hight prices names from the same house ( atheana)
Any coupons code for smoky plum?
Hello! Is this a men’s fragrance, or a unisex fragrance?
Plum Japonais was made for women.
3d one launched with Plum Japonaise and Lilly was Fleur de Chine
I have always loved it
Very diasppointed with Tom Ford, his stores are in full operation in Russia, could you enlighten me???
what is the liquid color of authentic TOM FORD PLUM JAPONAIS ?
Great job
Saw a review where it was mentioned that Blackmail by Kerosene smells similar to Plum Japonais but stronger. Does anyone agree?
Gotta check out Scents of Wood Plum in Cognac
Does the KING by boadicea close to plum japonais?
Nice alternative

th-cam.com/video/BwKa66EFjoI/w-d-xo.html
Lattafa Eternal Oud has nice plum.
Will have to check.
I had two bottles and a sample.. Sold them both.. Nothing special, overrated because is discontinued in my opinion

She’s quite nice! 😀
Why does TF do this to us 😭 I have empty bottles laying around of Amber Absolute, Patchouli Absolu, half used Oud Wood Intense..so sad and meaningless to create such amazing scents only to let them vanish
