WEBVTT 00:00:14.885 --> 00:00:17.365 Welcome to Fragophilia. This is Jeff. 00:00:17.365 --> 00:00:18.405 This is Jane. 00:00:18.565 --> 00:00:34.580 And we're happy to be back. Beautiful weather here in Texas. We had some rain, and it's kinda cooled down the temps a little bit, and you know, puts a little pep in my step. How are you feeling? You got your hair done today. 00:00:34.820 --> 00:00:46.185 Yeah. I did. And actually, I smell like baccarat rouge because my hairdresser put some kind of hair product in my hair that had some baccarat DNA in it. 00:00:46.665 --> 00:00:47.305 Well And 00:00:47.305 --> 00:00:50.265 I love how my hair looks, but I can't wait to wash this out of my hair. 00:00:51.225 --> 00:01:02.910 Yeah. It's, I don't really smell it. It looks great. Color looks fabulous. And I mean, it's not like your niece color red. 00:01:03.630 --> 00:01:10.670 Oh, yeah. My little red headed niece was like a a Muppet style wig of red hair even though she's only three weeks old. 00:01:10.670 --> 00:01:18.955 And she is adorable. I'm lucky to I haven't held her yet. I'm still No. I haven't. I haven't. 00:01:18.955 --> 00:01:21.835 Well, every time I go over there, she's like eating or sleeping. So 00:01:22.555 --> 00:01:23.035 hungry. 00:01:23.675 --> 00:01:29.030 Yeah. But that's nice. Do you know what the hair product was? 00:01:29.190 --> 00:01:30.390 No. I have no idea. 00:01:30.390 --> 00:01:42.345 No. Yeah. You were saying it's funny how once something becomes part of the the zeitgeist or the the lexicon of escape. Fragrance. Yeah. 00:01:42.425 --> 00:02:12.735 It's it gets injected into everything. I wanna give a little special shout out because there's two ways to my heart when it comes to a perfume company. One, make really good perfumes, and two, send them to us with personalized notes. Right away, kindly gifted us full bottles of the, outer realm and rising sun. 00:02:12.975 --> 00:02:31.310 That was such a wonderful surprise. Thank you so much right away, because on the last two episodes, I think we talked about their new release waterfalls two episodes ago. And then in the last episode in the game, I threw in rising suns to see how you felt about it because I was about to buy it. 00:02:31.965 --> 00:02:45.405 Yeah. Which, I mean, from the get go. When they sent us waterfall, we both love that, but they sent us samples of each of the other two, and you were immediately like, this is a must buy. I can't wait to buy Rising Sun. 00:02:45.405 --> 00:02:51.900 It's the most beautiful, like, tobacco, sandalwood, and orange, and it's very, very delicate. 00:02:52.540 --> 00:02:53.500 It's really good. 00:02:53.500 --> 00:02:58.460 Yeah. I I wore that today. Yeah. That was excited. That was so sweet of them. 00:02:58.460 --> 00:03:27.345 And I wore Outer Realm a little bit today as well, but I actually started my day off wearing Serotonin Spritz by L'Epak, which is their new release, and I kinda love that one too. It's real stemmy green and dewy. There's some nice floral notes, and there's some sweet touches in the base, but I did not expect it to be that. It's kind of in contrast to what I would assume, like 00:03:27.345 --> 00:03:32.385 a summery vacation type perfume, especially with spritz in the name. 00:03:32.385 --> 00:03:52.210 I expected it to be a little, you know, kinda sweet cocktail and maybe a little fruity. And, you know, when I think of, like, being on the beach or outdoors, I don't want, like, sugary stuff because it just makes me think of, like, bugs or being sticky, and that's just kind 00:03:52.210 --> 00:03:52.850 of gross to me. 00:03:52.850 --> 00:04:06.105 And this is the opposite. So elegant and pretty. And like I said, it's so, like, green at times that it just kind of feels very lively. And I don't know. I think that's a 00:04:06.505 --> 00:04:21.200 I love serotonin spritz too. And I have to say, while I was wearing it, it reminded me of another perfume that I've been wearing a lot lately, which is What's the one I bought you? 00:04:23.385 --> 00:04:24.425 La Nuit. 00:04:24.585 --> 00:04:30.345 No. The one I surprised you with from the the house eighties de Venustas? 00:04:30.345 --> 00:04:32.585 Oh, Signature. Yeah. It does. Yeah. 00:04:32.585 --> 00:04:46.660 Yeah. Reminds me of Signature by eighties Dave Vnustas, which they're not really similar, but it's that kind of really well balanced, juicy, fruity, light summertime wear that just feels really good. 00:04:47.015 --> 00:05:09.410 Yeah. And I feel like much like that one, it kinda it never stays in one little pocket for too long. It kind of blends between the the areas of it. In the note list, there's, like, grapefruit and pink pepper and pomelo zest. It's got tequila, thyme, geranium, gassis, and then like this watery musk. 00:05:09.410 --> 00:05:12.290 It's definitely like dewy, but it's not like sea water, 00:05:12.290 --> 00:05:20.745 I which have I to say I love that tequila note in it. Mhmm. And we've been trying several perfumes lately that have tequila notes, and it works beautifully. 00:05:21.145 --> 00:05:28.265 Yeah. Yeah. I I I like that more than, like, the rum notes and things like that. It sounds it's it's more woody and sharp and kind of 00:05:28.665 --> 00:05:37.650 Some Some of those boozy perfumes. I know there's that one by Nudaplorum. What's that company? 00:05:38.130 --> 00:05:40.530 Oh, Nasamoto or 00:05:40.530 --> 00:05:52.055 Bara Bara Onda. That one smells like if I smell Bara Onda, it smells like you were on a bender last night. Yeah. But serotonin spritz, it just smells fresh. Like, you would never think that you smell like booze. 00:05:52.055 --> 00:05:55.095 It's just kind of, like, really balances the grapefruit beautifully. 00:05:55.255 --> 00:06:09.500 Yeah. And I just I I mean, eventually, it just kinda gets in this kind of almost like a long and long kind of floral to me. So it's I don't know. I I really enjoyed wearing that. It was a great morning wear because it was still kind of like felt like it could have stormed. 00:06:09.500 --> 00:06:15.975 It was a little humid outside, it kind of, I don't know, gave me a little zest of life. 00:06:16.855 --> 00:06:22.855 You said it gave you Barb and Star vibes. Yeah. What do movie, and Star Go to Vista Del Mar. 00:06:22.855 --> 00:06:35.210 Well, I I said it I said it feels more of like a a European summer beach side, a little bit more than I would say, like, a Barb and Star Florida, you know, resort that you're sitting by the pool two miles from the beach. 00:06:36.970 --> 00:06:38.970 You just have to say Barb and Star, and I'm sold. 00:06:40.725 --> 00:06:45.845 And other new perfume news, I finally received my Father's Day present. 00:06:45.845 --> 00:06:54.570 Which was La Nuit Tombe by Serge Luton. I ordered it from JoMa shop for their Father's Day sale, and it took ten business years to get here. 00:06:54.570 --> 00:07:07.175 Yes. That's it. It took yeah. It took a little over four weeks, but, and we didn't know what to expect. It's I mean, when was the last time we bought a new Surge perfume? 00:07:07.175 --> 00:07:08.535 Because it came out last year. Right? 00:07:08.535 --> 00:07:10.535 Yeah. Yeah. It was their new release last year. 00:07:10.535 --> 00:07:25.980 All I knew, I think on their website, it's like cypress, cedar, incense, and patchouli. So it's like, you know, it's Surge. It's like our all of our favorite perfume notes in there. So I figured it was a a safe line buy. What do you think? 00:07:26.460 --> 00:07:46.605 I I love it because you always wonder yeah. We've talked about this before, you know, like bands or directors or something. Sooner or later, the you know, what made you great starts to kind of like run out or you're just kinda churning out stuff. 00:07:46.605 --> 00:07:47.565 And I don't know. I mean, I'm 00:07:47.565 --> 00:08:35.765 sure you can make arguments that that that's the way it is now, but it's like, Shell the Shell Drake surge team has been doing perfume for so long now and due to their distribution and, you know, ish situation, it's not as prevalent as it once was, like when we were first getting into surge fifteen years ago. But I would say this is I'm extremely pleased with it. It has touches of the perfumes we love, whether it be a Fumarie Turk or Fianna Ghee a lot because it has that kind of like green and spicy. Geez, you just sprayed it right now and it's just like, it smells so good. It has some kind of body stank to it as well, but 00:08:35.765 --> 00:08:36.485 it's real 00:08:36.485 --> 00:08:38.565 faint compared to others in the line. 00:08:38.565 --> 00:08:41.685 It has that, you think it's faint? I think it's pretty bombastic. 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:45.720 I think it it comes out when you first spray it. It's like, oh, it has, like, curling. 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:57.345 But it settles down nicely. Yeah. I I do feel like it has that boozy spiced dried fruit thing that so many of the Sheldrake compositions had. 00:08:57.425 --> 00:08:57.825 Mhmm. 00:08:57.825 --> 00:09:14.800 So it feels like nostalgic, a nice return to form. I think this is obviously pandering to those customers, the search customers who got on board a long time ago, and it's nice. I'm I'm really happy with it. I will say I give an eight out of 10. 00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:16.720 Which is still pretty high. 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:35.045 It's still it's it's excellent. I'm so glad to have it, and I will wear it a lot. I think I was hoping it would be a little bit more patchouli forward and less like intense inky incense. By the way, I just wanna say the juice is like black. This would certainly stain 00:09:35.045 --> 00:09:38.980 your shirt. It's like Runholtz Mars Yeah. 20 whatever. 00:09:38.980 --> 00:09:41.540 It's one of the darkest juices I've ever seen. 00:09:41.700 --> 00:09:56.365 And it's surprised I've worn it quite a bit this week, and I haven't noticed it. I wear a lot of white t shirts. I haven't noticed it stain anything or get on there. It it hits pretty clear as far as I'm I know, but it does not look like it would. 00:09:56.365 --> 00:09:59.085 It's described as a sheep on Serge's website. 00:09:59.085 --> 00:09:59.405 Yeah. Don't 00:09:59.485 --> 00:10:00.925 How do you feel about that? 00:10:00.925 --> 00:10:47.670 I don't I don't get that necessarily. Here's the the two things that I would if I had to follow the line that you're going with with, I was expecting it to be a little bit more incense y, and I I feel like it's there, obviously, but I don't feel like it's that incense y. And I expected it to be a little heavier and it kind of just lives on you for a little bit and it kind of goes away after about two, three hours. It's kind of a light wear considering what we're talking about, you know, patchouli, incense, you know, you talk fianna ghee and kind of like smokier notes and things like that. It does kind of fade into the background a little bit. 00:10:47.670 --> 00:11:06.920 It does kind of pop up here and there, but I expected it to be a little heavy. So if I had one complaint that would put me in the seven to eight out of 10, it would be like, I was hoping it would be a little heftier. Like, even, you know, I can wear Lorphalin even it's like, will smell that all 00:11:06.920 --> 00:11:07.560 day long. 00:11:07.560 --> 00:11:25.035 If I wear a PND, I'll wear it all, you know, I smell it all day. If I, you know, feed to Berlin, a lot of the surge that we have, it's like, those are full day wears And I feel like this is considering how dark it is, how the notes are dark as well. It's kind of like a three hour tops. 00:11:25.595 --> 00:11:35.660 That's fine with me. Yeah. But yeah, I I I agree with that assessment. But you know, I think like for Father's Day, why not go back to Papa Serge? 00:11:36.140 --> 00:11:50.135 Yeah. I'm yeah. I'm very, very pleased. I'm very excited. I'm excited that we can get a Serge perfume and it be exciting, you know, it'd be just we're Surge people and it's like, you know, you still 00:11:50.295 --> 00:11:51.095 Yeah, that'll always 00:11:51.095 --> 00:11:51.495 be pull out 00:11:51.495 --> 00:11:54.695 some hoops. It's literally the house that got me into perfume. 00:11:54.695 --> 00:12:03.430 Yeah. So, thank you very much for that Father's Day gift. That's wonderful. You got a new hair perfume. 00:12:03.830 --> 00:12:21.405 I did. Yeah. I I we were bopping around North Park, and we went into Diptyque actually to smell, what's the one that Michele talked about? Lombre. The it's the it's like a black a Casise Rose perfume. 00:12:21.405 --> 00:12:22.045 Yeah. I 00:12:22.525 --> 00:12:23.965 can't remember the name right now. But 00:12:24.510 --> 00:12:26.190 Slambre. Yeah. 00:12:26.190 --> 00:12:38.830 I can't remember. One. I can't remember the full name. But while I was there, I have been a big fan of the hair perfumes that they've been doing. I have Eau de Sans, and I wear that quite a bit. 00:12:39.875 --> 00:12:50.835 Shout out to our friend who recommended that I try Yeah. Yeah. Thank you, Rebecca. That, you get a lot of payoff for a hair perfume, and I think it's like they're $80 now. 00:12:50.835 --> 00:12:51.155 Yeah. 00:12:52.050 --> 00:13:06.610 Yeah. So we were talking with the sales assistant there who recognized Jeff. We were talking about some of the perfumes, and he's like, oh, do you guys know Maison Dettos? And we're like, yeah. We we actually do know them. 00:13:06.610 --> 00:13:10.105 And he's like, oh, you look like that guy in the advertisements. 00:13:10.505 --> 00:13:13.385 Yeah. Which still go. 00:13:14.745 --> 00:13:17.145 They're everywhere. You're inescapable. 00:13:17.145 --> 00:13:41.665 It was the first time that it has happened. And quite frankly, I think the first time it's I mean, usually when we go somewhere and someone's getting recognized, it's always you. So it's it was kind of funny and I enjoyed it and Henry got to see it and it's fun to be able to like, oh, that's it. That act actually is me. But I was watching a YouTube video on, like, web development stuff the other day and it popped up on me. 00:13:41.905 --> 00:13:42.225 I I see. 00:13:42.225 --> 00:13:51.185 And it's like, didn't even know it was being fed to YouTube. It's like, all of sudden, you're confronted by yourself from, like, three years ago. It's like, oh my god. What is this? 00:13:51.500 --> 00:13:55.340 I know because we filmed that, like, oh, yeah. We'll we'll do a quick video. Yeah. 00:13:55.340 --> 00:13:56.700 Were in the old house. Like 00:13:56.780 --> 00:13:57.820 We're hounded by it. 00:13:57.820 --> 00:13:59.740 Yeah. It was it was early days. So 00:14:00.460 --> 00:14:20.795 Okay. But I do want to shout out, you know, we had Serotonin Spritz by Le Poc. That's a, you know, a Texas brand, a new release from a Texas brand. Texas hero, Megan Thee Stallion has a new perfume out called Hot Girl Summer, and she created this in partnership with Coty. And it sold out. 00:14:21.490 --> 00:14:26.690 I I think it might be a while before we are able to get our hands on it. I love Megan Thee Stallion. 00:14:26.690 --> 00:14:27.010 I know 00:14:27.010 --> 00:14:45.425 you do. Would love to smell this. Let me just describe what the notes are on the website. Coconut milk, an orchid accord heart finishes with vetiver, a creamy floral composition with a warm earthy dry down. That's vague, but coconut milk is a strong strong smell. 00:14:45.425 --> 00:14:47.025 Yeah. I mean So I'm 00:14:47.025 --> 00:14:51.020 guessing it's like a summery hot girl summer. 00:14:51.020 --> 00:14:58.140 Sounds like something you would wear to the Barb and Star Resort in Florida at the pool two miles from the beach. 00:14:58.220 --> 00:15:01.820 Is my Barb and Star vacation. We need to look into this. 00:15:02.805 --> 00:15:06.725 Yeah. I mean, sure. Let's do it. 00:15:07.205 --> 00:15:08.565 That would be so fun. 00:15:08.645 --> 00:15:19.810 We need to get one of those, like, vacations where there's just, like, the pit you put the kids in and there's some poor hotel staff person that's gonna, like, monitor the kids. And that's part of the all inclusivity. 00:15:19.810 --> 00:15:31.665 I I want, like, a corny vacation that's like a cruise, but I would never go on a cruise. Like, would I would have a panic attack on a boat immediately. Like, that's I we're both very claustrophobic. And 00:15:31.665 --> 00:15:33.745 I'm I'm not claustrophobic, but I I feel 00:15:34.385 --> 00:15:35.905 yeah. Sea is not for me. 00:15:35.905 --> 00:15:45.490 Yeah. That's so there's too much out there. If I see endless sea I'd freak out. Kill me then. You know, just put me find where's the hook that I hang the rope because I'm going there. 00:15:45.490 --> 00:15:50.770 I think we're we're looking for, like, maybe, like, some kinda old person resort y 00:15:50.770 --> 00:15:51.090 That's what 00:15:51.090 --> 00:15:55.810 I'm looking for. Okay. We'll we'll we'll look into this. Yeah. I wanna be wearing Barb and Star Summer. 00:15:55.970 --> 00:16:03.625 Yeah. Sandals, you know. I want I've been putting on the the the button up shirt and I kinda misaligned the buttons and 00:16:03.625 --> 00:16:04.585 some erroring pictures. 00:16:04.585 --> 00:16:04.825 Want a 00:16:04.825 --> 00:16:06.345 buffet where I will get sick. 00:16:06.345 --> 00:16:07.465 That's how I will 00:16:07.545 --> 00:16:08.825 That's just America now. 00:16:08.825 --> 00:16:14.290 That is America. You can't even eat greens for god's sakes. They don't even want us eating vegetables anymore. 00:16:14.290 --> 00:16:22.690 We're having friends over for dinner this weekend, and we're having to plan a diarrhea virus free venue. Love it here. 00:16:22.770 --> 00:16:23.090 Yeah. 00:16:24.985 --> 00:16:25.625 Okay. 00:16:26.105 --> 00:16:48.280 Then, you know, as promised, we talked about last episode that we couldn't believe that we didn't talk about the Corinne Reitfeld perfumes, And I feel like now's our chance. I have them right here. Now we don't have all of them. We have five of them. We have Corinne, which we've talked about quite a bit and we love. 00:16:49.345 --> 00:16:54.785 Caraway, George, Vladimir, and Aurelian. And 00:16:55.025 --> 00:16:56.465 Let's let's get into it. 00:16:56.465 --> 00:16:57.505 Let's get into it. 00:16:57.905 --> 00:17:08.050 Okay. I still have to say, I am blown away by Corinne, her signature perfume from the line. That is top of want list right now. 00:17:08.050 --> 00:17:11.330 Yeah. I mean, we're getting it's it's it's not if, it's when. 00:17:11.330 --> 00:17:30.260 It's a stunning, very cool toned, patchouli, jasmine, gardenia, rose, amber, vetiver. It's I haven't smelled anything like it. And it's Dominique Rhopion, obviously. You have the signature of a true great on it. 00:17:30.340 --> 00:18:19.095 I think that that is a timeless perfume style as well because it's so it's it's strong in every area that's going with with the nose. It's patchouli, it's vetiver, it's cashmere, and pink pepper, jasmine, rose. So it's floral, it's earthy, it's big, it's bold. It reminds me of something like a Hugo Boss from the mid two thousands or, you know, a lot of like when the designer brands that you would go to like Sephora and go through or you go to a department store and it was just they were loud and creative and they were all signature, you know, they were something you wore. That was the perfume that you wore and it's I love this perfume. 00:18:20.330 --> 00:18:22.730 It is yeah. I can't wait to to get it. 00:18:22.730 --> 00:18:25.130 It's Is it your favorite from the lineup? 00:18:25.290 --> 00:18:32.090 Oh, by far. I mean, I I think that's one of the my favorites that I've smelled in the past, like, three, four, five years. 00:18:33.085 --> 00:18:41.965 Now, Chelsea from Beast of Jouvelding was telling us that we were going to love Aurelian, and it was a couple of weeks ago that we tried this. Can you spray it right now so 00:18:41.965 --> 00:19:20.450 I can remember would say, you spoiler alert, that of the five that we're gonna talk about here, that's probably next for me. Like, I would own this one too. Mainly because it's kind of a shape shifter in that or maybe it's deceptive. I don't know if I'm really phrasing it right because it comes out and it's very orange blossom. It's it's very jasmine and benzoquin. 00:19:20.450 --> 00:19:26.130 There's patchouli. There's some amber, myrrh. It's all these kind of, like, pleasing 00:19:26.690 --> 00:19:27.570 Damn. That's always good. 00:19:28.050 --> 00:19:42.225 Is pleasing. The orange blossom is the hero note by far. It goes through it, but it just yeah. It's really I mean, smelling it right now is just so damn good. 00:19:42.700 --> 00:19:56.220 I've been tapping back into Last Dre by Legallion, which has been sort of my signature scent for the last three years, and I've been wearing that a lot. And this is kind of like the deeper, crazier sister to that. 00:19:57.015 --> 00:20:03.255 Yeah. I would say this is more like if they made Lost Stray in the style that I would wanna perk. 00:20:03.255 --> 00:20:04.055 Yeah. Yeah. 00:20:04.055 --> 00:20:04.615 That's what it 00:20:04.615 --> 00:20:05.175 would be. That 00:20:05.335 --> 00:20:07.655 because I love I love Lost Stray, but it's it's for you. 00:20:07.655 --> 00:20:08.295 It's very feminine. 00:20:08.295 --> 00:20:09.335 Yeah. It's for you. 00:20:09.335 --> 00:20:17.950 This is not overly feminine. This is yeah. Very wear this? Oh, man. That's really good. 00:20:17.950 --> 00:20:27.790 Actually, okay. I want to wear this out in the world next week because I love I don't think this could top Corinne, but Chelsea's right. This is fucking incredible. 00:20:28.085 --> 00:20:38.405 Yeah. I I really mean, owning two of those perfumes would certainly not be a crime. Right? 00:20:38.405 --> 00:20:39.765 Not a crime in my books. 00:20:39.765 --> 00:20:57.140 Yeah. I mean, you're a big fan, and and I I wasn't as in love with some of the other ones that I've tried, but this one is just smelling it right now. It's so good. Again, like, the the orange flower and the jasmine are kind of the hero notes. They are staying there. 00:20:57.365 --> 00:21:23.040 But as you wear it, and I've worn it a couple times just throughout the day, the patchouli and the kind of more amber, sweeter, resinous notes really start to play in, and they kind of shape shifts throughout it. You'll just all of a sudden, it's no longer that orange flower jasmine perfume that you thought you were wearing. It is really kind of like this really nice dense amber, and then it'll completely reverse back. I 00:21:23.360 --> 00:21:38.920 like that the the incense in it is a very nineties metaphysical shop kind of incense, like unapologetically. You know, it's it's not afraid to to go there and it's gorgeous. 00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:54.805 Yeah. I mean, you can I can hear the bong bubbling because it it is very much a head shop? I had this Volkswagen Fox 1987. Volkswagen bought it used by 1987. But I love that car. 00:21:55.125 --> 00:21:55.845 People. 00:21:56.245 --> 00:22:36.200 Totaled. Someone ran a red light and totaled that, my my beloved VW Fox right before I moved to New Orleans. And it had when I bought it from the dealership, it had, like, this incense kind of, like, potpourri bags in the back of it. And you could ask my old friends, and they will still bring it up, but it had this distinctive smell that was just so nice, and that's kind of what it smells like. So, it takes me back to that kind of era, and a little bit of nogchampa in there as well, you know, so it's very, very heady. 00:22:36.760 --> 00:22:42.280 Kinda like our Mellow Yellow. It's in that vein by Astraphil and Stella. 00:22:42.280 --> 00:22:46.920 Mellow Yellow by Astraphil and Stella. Talk about an under celebrated gem. 00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:51.375 That is an under celebrated gem. Are the only ones that celebrate that. And it is a gem. 00:22:51.375 --> 00:22:52.575 Never hear anyone else talk 00:22:52.575 --> 00:22:55.935 about You should buy it immediately. 00:22:56.255 --> 00:22:57.775 We've blown through ours. 00:22:57.935 --> 00:23:13.430 Yeah. We've gone through a lot. That's it's just a good scent. And this is in there. So now the other one that kind of, I will say, I liked quite a bit was the Carwaii. 00:23:14.950 --> 00:23:16.870 That was actually my least favorite. 00:23:16.870 --> 00:23:19.885 Oh, well, let's get it let's get it on paper here and see Unless what 00:23:21.805 --> 00:23:23.085 I'm misremembering, which 00:23:23.325 --> 00:23:24.285 No. I kinda like it. 00:23:24.365 --> 00:23:25.485 Could be the case. 00:23:25.485 --> 00:23:30.525 It does have a bit of a, to me, like a medicinal side to it. 00:23:30.525 --> 00:23:37.350 Yes. I it's a little NyQuil for me. Osmanthus can, like, get that way for me. 00:23:37.430 --> 00:23:38.390 Well, to me, 00:23:38.630 --> 00:23:41.270 huge osmanthus person. 00:23:41.830 --> 00:23:42.950 Tea can be a little 00:23:43.430 --> 00:23:45.430 I know you're averse to tea perfumes. 00:23:45.575 --> 00:23:53.895 But for some reason, I I don't know. It's like the the rose and the jasmine kinda save it. The cardamom kinda makes it a little sweeter than I would like. 00:23:53.895 --> 00:24:00.135 I I think that, you know, for someone else, this would be a 10 out of 10 perfume. It's just my personal taste. It's not my favorite. 00:24:00.490 --> 00:24:05.610 Yeah. What one draws your attention? 00:24:06.650 --> 00:24:08.810 Okay. Let's try George next. 00:24:08.810 --> 00:24:12.250 Okay. George is can you read the notes? 00:24:12.665 --> 00:24:23.705 George is cannabis, Iranian galvanum, violet leaf, jasmine, rose, iris, oak moss, woody notes, earth, and leather. How bad can that be? 00:24:23.705 --> 00:24:27.560 Yeah. Oh, that's nice. 00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:50.735 That's a that's a strong ass violet leaf. Yeah. And that's another note that I struggle with, but I do feel like you just sprayed this. If I wore this, I think that I would be having a very different experience, you know, ten minutes from now. It doesn't Violet leaf is is strong in this. 00:24:50.735 --> 00:24:56.900 It's it's very it's almost like I was wearing three Fleurs earlier today. 00:24:56.980 --> 00:24:57.780 Oh, well. 00:24:57.780 --> 00:25:02.500 And this has some humping Jasmine and Rose, kinda like three Fleurs. 00:25:02.500 --> 00:25:24.410 I feel like and now three Fleurs by Par Palms Dumpier is something we own, so we love it already. And I feel like this is not what I expected. I don't know if this is the one I like the least. I think Vladimir is the 00:25:24.410 --> 00:25:25.770 one I like the least. George. 00:25:28.170 --> 00:25:28.810 Yeah. 00:25:29.610 --> 00:25:34.890 But I do love the idea of wearing a perfume just called George. You know how picky I am about names. 00:25:34.890 --> 00:25:47.345 Yes. I I think I wanted it to be more kind of like mossy and earthy and humid. 00:25:47.985 --> 00:25:53.100 Okay. Let's move on to Vladimir. I think this was your least favorite. 00:25:53.100 --> 00:26:04.860 Yeah. By far. And we'll find out here. I mean, it's iris, incense, all these reed great. Iris, incense, amber, grapefruit, bergamot, sage, cedar, and geranium. 00:26:05.325 --> 00:26:10.125 I just kinda didn't really it seems too nice. 00:26:10.125 --> 00:26:20.350 I will say, like, I've smelled maybe 200 perfumes that smell exactly like this. It's good. It's balanced. It's just not offering me anything new. And that's okay. 00:26:20.350 --> 00:26:31.550 You know, I bet a lot of people who just encounter this brand, this is the one they come away with thinking, that's for me. It smells good. It's just not as interesting. 00:26:31.710 --> 00:26:33.070 Yeah. It's just 00:26:33.705 --> 00:26:34.825 So Corrine 00:26:35.065 --> 00:26:36.345 Like I said, it smells nice. 00:26:36.345 --> 00:26:51.880 I mean, now it's like Kar Wai looks very, very nice in comparison. Where is Kar Wai? I'll spend some time with it. I'll I'll try to get over my osmanthus issues because it's, you know, it's still a very good perfume. Yeah. 00:26:52.840 --> 00:26:57.560 Okay. Corinne, Aurelian, Karwai, George, and Vladimir. 00:26:57.640 --> 00:26:57.960 Yeah. 00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:00.520 Is our ranking? Do you agree with that? 00:27:00.840 --> 00:27:16.915 I would say, yeah. I I like it's just kind of like Corinne and Aurelien are Corinne's a must buy. Aurelien is like, if I saw it for a good price tomorrow, I would get it. Like, it's good. Yeah. 00:27:16.915 --> 00:27:35.995 I really really like it. Don't know if I'd be, you know, just like, we have to get it immediately. Kren is it's just like I said, it's it's not if, it's when. So I would definitely get that. And the other ones, I just don't care enough so I'll with those rankings. 00:27:35.995 --> 00:27:44.395 Karwai, George, then Vladimir. There's a couple others, like, one that's like Alexander, and there's, like, I think there's one to two others that 00:27:44.795 --> 00:27:49.740 don't We'll make sure we we check those out. Shall we move on to our scents of the week? 00:27:49.740 --> 00:27:51.180 Please. What are yours? 00:27:51.980 --> 00:28:36.175 Okay. So over the last two weeks, I have been wearing Melody did L'Amour quite a bit. Sometimes by accident because our our perfume cabinet is so dark and it's getting so crowded that I actually wanted to wear a tonka latte one or two times, and I accidentally grabbed Melichita more by accident, which is never, you know, never unwelcome. It's such a beautiful, like, honeyed peach gardenia and tuberose, and it has this jasmine that has this very addictive toasted corn facets to it. It smells a little bit like tortilla chips or like well, it's a little Fritos. 00:28:36.175 --> 00:28:51.620 It's very delicate. I don't I feel like you could hear that and think, ew, gross. It's very subtle, and it's this side of Jasmine that I love and I don't experience very often. There's not many perfumes that do this. There's one by Regime D'Affleur. 00:28:51.620 --> 00:28:53.060 Yeah. Gold Leaves, 00:28:53.060 --> 00:28:54.020 which is It has a 00:28:54.420 --> 00:28:58.260 discontinued Like a corn tortilla Jasmine that Heavy on that. 00:28:58.340 --> 00:29:09.805 Yeah. It's probably the most intense version of that side of Jasmine that I've encountered, and I love it. And this one, it's just Lucita, that's an amazing house. 00:29:10.125 --> 00:29:10.445 Yeah. 00:29:10.445 --> 00:29:12.605 She never misses ever. 00:29:12.605 --> 00:29:13.565 She she gets you. 00:29:13.880 --> 00:29:15.640 She does get me. Yeah. Yeah. 00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:21.160 Yeah. As far as, like, perfumers and houses Absolutely. You love Decida. 00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:21.800 Yeah. 00:29:22.280 --> 00:29:23.560 I love the bottles too. 00:29:23.560 --> 00:29:27.320 Me too. I mean, I like quite a bit of them, but feel good to use. 00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:34.725 Yeah. But I feel like she speaks to she speaks to what you're you want out of a perfume 00:29:34.725 --> 00:29:35.125 Totally. A lot 00:29:35.125 --> 00:29:35.445 of times. 00:29:35.445 --> 00:29:40.405 Totally. Yeah. Yeah. She's a a woman's perfumer, I feel like. Yeah. 00:29:41.330 --> 00:30:10.830 And like I said, I've been wearing L'Estre by Legallion. If you're listening to this show for the first time, this is a fragrance that I've been wearing pretty regularly, almost as a signature for the last three years. It's a spicy incensey, anilic, white floral, and it is a reformulation of Ava Gardner's signature perfume that they made for her back when she was a face of the house in the fifties. I love Ava Gardner. 00:30:11.310 --> 00:30:19.390 And if you have listened to this episode, you know, this show from the beginning, then you know that, she wears it a lot. 00:30:19.390 --> 00:30:31.585 Yeah. I actually put it on my bathroom counter so that it's just there whenever I want it. So it's been I've been reaching it for it more often. Also, Vanilla Virtue by paraphrase perfumes. We were talking about this in the last episode. 00:30:31.585 --> 00:30:32.785 Incredible release. 00:30:32.865 --> 00:30:33.985 We both. Yeah. 00:30:34.145 --> 00:30:59.595 It's insane. There's so much to discover in it. I feel like it's one of those perfumes where I'm just going to the longer I wear it, the more I'm going to be able to pick out of it, and it's been a really nice bedtime fragrance for me. So it's a little hot to wear it in the daytime right now, but I I can't stop reaching for it. And, also, I got a little bit of a stomach bug last week that our son brought home from daycare. 00:30:59.595 --> 00:31:09.100 I was feeling pretty nauseous. So last week, I mostly wore cologne sedate by Mattier Premier Mhmm. And in plein air by jouissance. 00:31:09.820 --> 00:31:17.395 Yeah. Both such good, like, bright, easy wears that feel happy. 00:31:17.555 --> 00:31:24.115 Yeah. Light citrusy. It kinda cut through any feeling of nausea that you have. 00:31:24.275 --> 00:31:55.735 There's something about that cologne so drop that I don't There's something in it that just makes I don't even know how to describe it. It just makes me so happy, and it it just feels like it just fits. When you put it on, when I wear it, it's just sometimes I'll just put it on and it's like, that's how I want things in life in general to smell. It just is such a good perfume. Or just a good scent. 00:31:55.980 --> 00:32:06.380 I don't know. I wouldn't even say, like, it's it's not my favorite perfume. It's not a perfume that I think about a lot, but when I wear it, it's just such a good smell. 00:32:06.700 --> 00:32:19.415 And Macier Premier, like, I feel like every time we talk about them, it's a hotly contested house. Yeah. They I will say their formulas are innovative. Are they all good? I don't know. 00:32:19.415 --> 00:32:36.955 I think if you really like pushing perfumery in a very modern way, they're interesting to look at. I enjoy Cologne Sidra. It has a touch of that kind of synthetic thing that almost all of their scents do. I think it's very good. Like, I think several of their scents are very, very good. 00:32:37.355 --> 00:32:49.220 And, you know, Aurelien Grachard is such a I mean, we're just talking about like Aurelien by Corinne Ruttfeld. I love Jasmine Fauve by Ex Nahilo, which is his 00:32:49.220 --> 00:32:49.620 One of 00:32:49.620 --> 00:33:14.850 best for piano. Yeah. Me, aside from Vanilla Vertu, which again, it's like, it's gonna be I know we're only halfway through the year, and we're not people who are running out for new perfumes or, you know, latest releases and things like that. I don't know how anything would that we would try would beat that as far as like our favorite from the year. We'll see. 00:33:14.850 --> 00:33:15.410 I don't know. 00:33:15.410 --> 00:33:17.730 Yeah. No. It will be interesting to see. 00:33:17.730 --> 00:33:47.840 I love that perfume so much. But in addition to that, little boring for the most part for me. Sunday Cologne by Byrito, just same type of deal where it's just like it's hot during the day, so I want something that's a little bit colognesque and floral. I've always loved the way that it is so cedary and woody. On some level, there's a little bit of oak moss. 00:33:48.480 --> 00:34:27.675 There's star anise and cardamom. Those don't really play that much to me, but it has a really nice citrus aspect, a really nice floral aspect, and a really nice, like, oily cedar. And speaking of which, I've been wearing, Radish Bediver by Comme des Garcons, which is a weird perfume to me because it's one that I bought when it was first released in 2019. And they come in these little, cylindrical, like, white they had those Andy Warhol ones. Remember those? 00:34:27.755 --> 00:35:22.925 Yeah. Those may still be around. Same type of bottle. And they did three of them, and it's part of a series, but the radish better for one was always kind of like curious to me because I love radish and I love vetiver, and I saw that it it well, went away for a while, and then I started seeing it again in the last like six months, and Tracy, our dear Fragraphilia friend, she had tried it and put a little story about it on Instagram, from Invisible Stories, and I sent her a message and I was like, man, you know, I need to try, I'm guessing a new formulation of it or a re release of it to see how it is because it's always been kind of a puzzler to me because it has these, like, oily green cedary facets, but then it almost has, like, this still bog water aquatic side to it. Yeah. 00:35:22.925 --> 00:35:30.125 Yeah. And it's it's like it doesn't it's it's sharp in the sense that when you bite a radish, it's kind of peppery. 00:35:30.125 --> 00:35:34.685 It has that peppery, watery, starchy thing that a literal radish does. 00:35:35.100 --> 00:35:40.380 Yeah. But it doesn't, like, if you I mean, because radish isn't the most fragrant vegetable. 00:35:40.380 --> 00:35:41.900 It's pretty fragrant, though. 00:35:41.900 --> 00:36:13.330 But it's just kind of it's a weird little perfume, but I seeing her talk about it, and I like I said, I messaged with her. I went and I put it on and then I I put it on for, the next two days because it was just like, I remember why I loved it. I remember why I was kind of like, this is a weird perfume, but it's also just kind of it's a fun one. So it was nice to and it fit with the the heat and the mugginess and everything. So it was kind of nice to have something that was like green and and, and sharp that way. 00:36:13.890 --> 00:36:43.420 And then finally, again, following the thread here of of kind of muggy green perfumes, went with wall well, wall by Aesop, which is just one that we've had for a little while and we've always talked about, and I I just I enjoy it. It's, you know, cypress and woody notes. There's some spices in it. It's a little bit smoky, a little bit vetiver and oakamoss. Just kind of a green, woody, mossy perfume that's an easy wear for me. 00:36:43.420 --> 00:36:45.580 And it smells like $20.16 to me. 00:36:45.580 --> 00:37:36.520 It does, And I love that. Yeah. Yeah. I wanna, you know You go to I wore it The first time I wore it was after we went to the mall and came back, and it was kinda we walked by Yusop, and they're the only store in this entire mall that will burn incense, you can kinda smell it a few stores down on each direction and it's just It's a nice cut through of when you're going through department stores or other stores that carry perfumes and it's all kind of baccarat y or, you know, kind of aca gala wood and all that kind of stuff, which funny, I didn't know this, radish vetiver has in there, so it's like, I don't know, before I mean, it's obviously been around for a while, but much more understated in in radish vetiver. But that's it. 00:37:36.520 --> 00:37:39.400 That's what I've been wearing. You wanna get to the game? 00:37:39.480 --> 00:37:40.360 I'd love to. 00:37:40.360 --> 00:37:41.400 Alright. Let's do it. 00:37:43.055 --> 00:37:48.175 I have just sprayed Jeff his first perfume of the game. What do you think? 00:37:48.975 --> 00:38:08.160 Right off the bat, it smells a little sweet, but also a little seawater. Like, it has a little bit of, kind of like city, like, when you're in New York and you're walking by the water a 00:38:08.160 --> 00:38:08.320 little 00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:19.935 bit, it smells a little bit like that. But it's sweet. There's a little bit of floral aspect to it. I don't know why, but there's a little bit of wet dog to it. 00:38:20.175 --> 00:38:21.695 Oh, wait. Let me come over and 00:38:21.695 --> 00:38:31.970 smell it. Yeah. It it just smells a little a little a little bit like wet dog. I don't know if I 00:38:31.970 --> 00:38:44.385 necessarily like it. Don't get the wet dog of it. It smells like there's a certain Crayola crayon. It's like the dark green one. I can't remember what it was. 00:38:44.385 --> 00:38:47.665 It there's a little to me, it smells a little purple. 00:38:48.865 --> 00:38:51.425 It's very deep and dank. 00:38:52.700 --> 00:38:56.700 Yeah. Again, I don't know if I necessarily like it. 00:38:57.020 --> 00:38:57.500 Okay. 00:38:57.500 --> 00:39:00.860 It's not anything I would necessarily wear. Why don't you can you give me some of the notes? 00:39:00.860 --> 00:39:11.845 Sure. Yeah. It's oak moss, tree moss, olebanum, artemisia, rose, nutmeg, orange blossom, clary sage, myrrh, labdanum, spikenard, and musk. 00:39:11.845 --> 00:39:12.645 Wow. 00:39:13.605 --> 00:39:15.285 This is an American house? 00:39:17.925 --> 00:39:19.205 I yeah. 00:39:19.205 --> 00:39:22.620 I'm I'm pretty certain. Let me double check that. 00:39:22.620 --> 00:39:53.180 It's yeah. It smells very purple y to me. All of those things I would love. I get the labdin on because it does have a little bit of this kind of leathery powderiness to it that's also kind of smoky, but it's getting like, it's starting to lose a little bit of that kind of seawater 00:39:54.060 --> 00:39:54.380 They 00:39:54.620 --> 00:39:57.340 on concrete smell that I was getting. 00:39:57.340 --> 00:40:10.395 They describe it on the website as a green that's so deep, it's almost black, a bitterness shot through with a radiance that lingers like sunlight in a forest clearing. Is that hitting home to you? 00:40:10.555 --> 00:40:13.115 No. It's really not. It smells sweet to me. 00:40:13.195 --> 00:40:21.400 I mean, a lot of like ambers can get that way. So this is Absolut de Mousse by Rogue Perfumery. 00:40:21.400 --> 00:40:31.705 Oh, Yeah. I I guess I mean, I I get the oak moss, and I think this might actually have, like, real oak moss. 00:40:31.705 --> 00:40:36.265 Yeah. I know that they they're like, because they're in America, they can skirt 00:40:36.265 --> 00:40:36.825 certain 00:40:36.825 --> 00:40:39.385 moss as long as they sell here. 00:40:40.905 --> 00:40:43.545 And it's starting to temper a little bit. It's starting to 00:40:43.785 --> 00:40:50.910 Yeah. It's a blotter, I should say. Yeah. We are not using an atomizer on this. It's from it's a lucky scent sample. 00:40:51.550 --> 00:40:56.190 And unfortunately, you just never get the true experience with blotters. 00:40:56.750 --> 00:41:02.605 Yes. I I've always that's a house that I haven't explored as much as I wanted to. 00:41:02.605 --> 00:41:10.605 I was just going to say, let's get a sample set from them. And please, if you are listening to this and you have any perfumes to recommend from this brand, please tell 00:41:10.605 --> 00:41:41.205 us. Yeah. Because they have quite a bit, but I always get the sense that the perfumer in the house really focuses on kind of classic composition and, like, old school perfumery. I just expected it to be a little bit more I remember getting that sample. I expected it to be a little bit more, like, almost sheep style where it was, like, big and bold and oak mossy with a little bit of patchouli and really green, but it it seems different to me. 00:41:41.205 --> 00:41:42.965 I I don't know. Like I said, it's purple. 00:41:42.965 --> 00:41:59.660 This could be the blotter, but I feel like every ingredient is so deep and dark that it's losing a lot of nuance. Yeah. Yeah. But that's, like I said, it's a blotter. Blotters tend to collapse notes that are supposed to be aerated and experienced in a very different way. 00:41:59.660 --> 00:42:05.305 Yeah. I I knew that going into this, but I need to order new samples. 00:42:05.305 --> 00:42:28.780 You need that. Yeah. You need when you when you spray on a perfume, you need that ambiance that it creates that kind of, like, in in the the environment that it creates from just the mist that doesn't make it to your wrist or your neck or your chest or wherever you're spraying it, it kind of just goes around you and it fills the air a little bit. And so you don't get that. It's just dead on arrival. 00:42:30.445 --> 00:42:32.925 Not to be I mean, it's not to be that harsh. 00:42:32.925 --> 00:42:36.205 No. I understand. Yeah. I I agree with that assessment. 00:42:36.205 --> 00:42:52.260 It's getting better. I will say that. I'm starting to get a little bit more of the oak moss and a little bit more of the green notes. Yeah. I wanna hold off judgment because I know this is one that is considered kind of a pinnacle of the house. 00:42:52.260 --> 00:43:09.385 I think he's done, like, different versions of it in different concentrations, and I'm very curious to there's a reason why we we ordered it originally because I've always been kinda curious about it. And I love oak moss, but it's not hitting what I want out of that. 00:43:09.385 --> 00:43:11.545 I can't wait to try Jasmine antique. 00:43:12.220 --> 00:43:13.260 Okay. Well 00:43:13.500 --> 00:43:14.540 We'll we'll get it. 00:43:14.620 --> 00:43:21.100 Write that down. Get the rogue perfumery sample set and 00:43:21.100 --> 00:43:22.380 We will report back. 00:43:22.460 --> 00:43:41.635 Yeah. So and and to just double down on what you said. For those that are fans of the house, we would love recommendations, and we will certainly talk about it on here, you know, because we always need content. Alright. I'm gonna spray the first one for you. 00:43:42.460 --> 00:43:46.620 I have just sprayed Jane's first contestant in the game. 00:43:46.780 --> 00:43:57.975 Goddamn it. This is something that I know and love, and it's something that I know well, and I feel like it's something from a long time ago. Nope. It's not? No. 00:43:57.975 --> 00:44:03.335 It smells just like something I used to love, and I can't think what it is. 00:44:03.335 --> 00:44:05.415 That you used to love. So you like it? 00:44:05.975 --> 00:44:30.915 I I love it, but I I know this smell. So I can't wait for you to tell me. It's like it's like an amber, and it has some like, on the outer edges, it has this, like, crisp caramel, brittle crackly finish to it, but it's kind of effervescent. It almost feels like a Maison Francis Kirkjian composition to me. 00:44:31.955 --> 00:44:47.130 You know, I don't feel that way about it, but there is something now that because put it on a blotter for you. I also put it on your wrist, and in the process of that, got it on my hand so I can smell it on my 00:44:47.130 --> 00:44:48.650 hand Is there a quite a rose? 00:44:49.210 --> 00:44:57.895 It's a pretty short list. It is iris, sandalwood, tonka, and carrot seeds. 00:44:57.975 --> 00:45:01.975 Man, okay. There's the carrot seeds, I certainly 00:45:01.975 --> 00:45:04.055 That is a note that you love. 00:45:05.575 --> 00:45:07.015 I I guess I do. 00:45:07.015 --> 00:45:17.290 Yeah. It's in a lot of your perfumes that you've loved your entire life. You know, when you think of, like, what's our one from Byrito that okay. 00:45:17.290 --> 00:45:19.130 Oh oh oh oh Seven Veils. 00:45:19.130 --> 00:45:20.090 Seven Veils. 00:45:20.090 --> 00:45:37.465 It's in Misfit by Artiste. But then it's some it's in some perfumes I really hate too, so that's a difficult one. But this smells really beautiful. I love it. There's something, like, very artificial about it to me. 00:45:37.465 --> 00:45:37.785 Yes. 00:45:38.370 --> 00:45:54.845 Yeah. It's a very much like you can only I'm sure this is like a small indie house, but it's a very like commercial type of smell. Like, this is from the factories of Juvedon, you know. You're not under the illusion that you're experiencing a natural phenomenon here. 00:45:54.845 --> 00:45:58.845 I think at one time you get iris, you're gonna get kind of a 00:45:59.725 --> 00:46:02.525 It's a yeah. It's a very synthetic weird iris. 00:46:02.525 --> 00:46:03.085 Like Yeah. 00:46:03.085 --> 00:46:10.700 This is not the rudy, starchy iris that you get in some like a Papillon perfume. 00:46:10.700 --> 00:46:31.955 I feel like also considering that and I this won't give it away because there's a lot of perfumes with it in the name, but it has iris in the name. And I felt like this was going to be much more iris iris forward than it than it I mean, it's definitely there. It's definitely shaping. 00:46:32.610 --> 00:46:36.050 Is this Iris Malakon? No. Okay. 00:46:36.370 --> 00:46:39.890 And I think that's Oud Malakon. Are you talking about 00:46:40.130 --> 00:46:50.225 I'm The Iris one from, cut this out. I can't remember the name of the house. That's like cut 00:46:50.225 --> 00:46:57.185 it out. From who does oud malakon? That is 00:46:57.425 --> 00:46:58.945 Yeah. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about? 00:46:58.945 --> 00:47:00.940 Yeah. Know what you're talking about. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. 00:47:00.940 --> 00:47:08.380 Anyway. Yeah. We'll we'll come back to that. Whatever. We don't really have any of their perfumes anyway. 00:47:08.620 --> 00:47:09.820 Yeah. 00:47:11.820 --> 00:47:27.580 It's I'm really surprised that you like it as much as you do. But now that I'm thinking about it, the carot seed, the iris, the sandalwood, it kinda makes sense, and it smells kind of nice coming from your direction over to mine. It 00:47:29.260 --> 00:47:34.140 smells like almost kind of there's like a almost a tea rose kind of feel 00:47:34.140 --> 00:47:42.685 to it. Yeah. There's a very that's what it's I think that's what has made me not love it is that it has that kind of like tea perfume essence It to 00:47:42.925 --> 00:47:49.245 has like cabbage patch doll head kind of smell if listeners are familiar with that smell. 00:47:49.405 --> 00:47:52.450 It's it's that iris meets sandalwood with a little 00:47:52.450 --> 00:47:53.890 bit of the carrot classic. It's got 00:47:53.890 --> 00:48:18.470 a little bit, like, almost like the cardamom kind of vibe to it. Just so sometimes that can make me a little nauseous, but when I wear it, that's what my experience has been, but smelling it from, like I was saying, your direction of the room coming over, it's like, oh, it's actually there's a lot more to it that I'm enjoying. 00:48:18.470 --> 00:48:27.190 That's a great thing about having a perfume husband is there there are perfumes that, like, I don't want to wear, but I like when you wear. Yeah. So, yeah, maybe this is just one of those. 00:48:27.270 --> 00:48:33.085 Kind of nice to you get to experience perfume through someone else's. 00:48:33.085 --> 00:48:34.765 You're like my human blotter. 00:48:34.765 --> 00:48:37.725 Yeah. I'm your human blotter and vice versa. So 00:48:39.005 --> 00:48:39.805 What is this? 00:48:39.805 --> 00:48:42.605 This is Narcissus Iris by Ophumim. 00:48:43.240 --> 00:48:48.680 So I'm sorry. Go slow down there. Narcissus. 00:48:48.680 --> 00:48:52.760 Narcissus Iris by Ofumum. 00:48:52.760 --> 00:48:54.200 Oh. Which is Ofumum. 00:48:54.200 --> 00:48:57.080 Yeah. Gotcha. Our poi porcelain. 00:48:57.080 --> 00:49:02.395 Oh. Damn. They are cooking in there. Yeah. I like what they're doing. 00:49:02.635 --> 00:49:03.515 You know, we This 00:49:03.515 --> 00:49:07.275 is actually feels a lot like poivre porcelain. 00:49:07.275 --> 00:49:10.395 It has that dustiness to it, like, that kind of, like, The sweet 00:49:12.990 --> 00:49:18.430 incense. Mhmm. I, man, I love it. 00:49:18.430 --> 00:49:33.605 And they actually have a third one. I ordered the sample. I talked about this a couple episodes again. I ordered the sample set from France, forgot all about it. It took, like, six weeks to get to me. 00:49:33.925 --> 00:49:54.080 Shows up, looks like when I used to trade bootleg CDs of, like, live shows and outtakes of bands that I loved in this, like, padded envelope that just, like, was handwritten. There was nothing, like, professional about it. And not saying they're not, but, you know, all the disclaimers, all that kind stuff. 00:49:54.080 --> 00:49:54.720 But it 00:49:55.040 --> 00:49:56.080 was like, what the hell is 00:49:56.080 --> 00:49:57.840 this? There's remember a small house doing something great. 00:49:58.035 --> 00:50:10.115 I remember just, like, getting this package and was thinking, like, what the hell? What is I don't even know what this is. Open it up, see it. And the incense one was just broken. So it was like, never even really got to smell that one. 00:50:10.830 --> 00:50:16.670 And I desperately wanna try that one because I love Pau Pour Salon. You like this one, so I 00:50:16.670 --> 00:50:19.950 like it a lot. I like it as much as Pau Pour Salon. 00:50:19.950 --> 00:50:22.110 Yeah. Well, well, that's good. Alright. 00:50:22.110 --> 00:50:24.110 They have a new fan. Oh, boom. 00:50:26.065 --> 00:50:26.625 Alright. 00:50:26.625 --> 00:50:29.825 Let's see if you can find another great deal on this I know. 00:50:29.905 --> 00:50:40.865 Know. See, the like I mentioned, I think, in the last episode when we're talking about buying it, they had the incense one for the same ridiculously low price that this retailer in New York. 00:50:40.865 --> 00:50:41.265 Done it. 00:50:41.480 --> 00:50:58.745 I should have blind bought it because it was gone, like, four zero four page. You could it was just like, they were like, oh shit, someone's buying this stuff for a low price and we have to ship it as well, so we're gonna take it off the website. But anyway, good. I'm glad you liked it. That's nice. 00:50:58.745 --> 00:51:01.065 Fantastic. I love it a lot. 00:51:01.065 --> 00:51:03.865 Alright. I'm ready for my second one. 00:51:04.905 --> 00:51:07.545 I have just sprayed Jeff his second scent of the game. 00:51:08.520 --> 00:51:24.795 This is kind of fitting in with what I've been wearing. It's kind of green. It's a little watery. There's some floral aspects to it. And there's also kind of woody smokiness to it. 00:51:25.675 --> 00:51:45.610 So it's kind of I don't know if there's vetiver in it. It seems so light and airy right now, And, yeah, I'm just getting kind of like a stimmy green essence to it. It's not heavy at all. It's really pleasant. It's really nice, easy. 00:51:45.610 --> 00:51:47.210 It's something I would definitely wear. 00:51:48.305 --> 00:51:49.905 A little juicy, isn't it? 00:51:50.225 --> 00:51:56.305 A little juicy? Is that like are you giving me a hint? 00:51:57.505 --> 00:51:58.945 No. There's mandarin in it. 00:51:58.945 --> 00:51:59.905 I'm sorry. I'm just thinking 00:51:59.905 --> 00:52:02.860 of our son. Every time he eats a fruit, he goes kinda juicy. 00:52:02.860 --> 00:52:04.220 Right? So every time 00:52:04.220 --> 00:52:06.860 I say that, I feel like Henry. 00:52:07.900 --> 00:52:22.205 It is kinda juicy. But it's not, you know, it's it's I don't know. This is it's not going in any real major direction one way or the other. It's not imposing itself on me. 00:52:22.205 --> 00:52:24.925 I used to own this perfume. 00:52:25.165 --> 00:52:25.805 Really? 00:52:25.805 --> 00:52:26.605 Yeah. And 00:52:27.260 --> 00:52:28.060 I'm trying to 00:52:28.060 --> 00:52:41.180 think I of what you wore it, and I was kinda like, I I kinda don't know why I bought it. I guess it's just because I was such a fan of the brand, and it was a new release at the time or 00:52:41.180 --> 00:52:41.340 When? 00:52:42.245 --> 00:52:44.725 2009 is when it officially came out. 00:52:45.845 --> 00:52:47.365 Is this a byredo? 00:52:47.365 --> 00:52:49.125 No. Le Labo? 00:52:49.125 --> 00:52:50.885 No. Yeah. You never really 00:52:51.445 --> 00:52:52.405 It's a surge. 00:52:52.725 --> 00:53:00.770 It's a surge. It's so light. I'm starting to get a little bit more of a floral. 00:53:00.770 --> 00:53:07.890 Why I say it's nasty. It's it's noida cellophane. Oh. I mean, they're they're fitting briefs there. I did. 00:53:07.890 --> 00:53:08.050 Yeah. 00:53:08.455 --> 00:53:10.375 This is, like, one of the classics that 00:53:10.375 --> 00:53:22.140 I got. If I I I know I wore it, and I know I got down to the bottom of it, but I never, like, developed a real affinity for it. But spelling it now, I appreciate it much more. 00:53:22.220 --> 00:53:31.740 Yeah. It's very it's it's kind of a little bit like, you know, we've been wearing the Les Releu Jusse quite a bit. 00:53:31.740 --> 00:53:34.060 Oh, yes. You got that for me. That was my Mother's Day present. 00:53:34.060 --> 00:53:44.995 Yeah. It's it's like that without the interesting bits. It's very, like, there's like a white floral niceness. It's very dewy. It's got some green aspects. 00:53:45.475 --> 00:53:47.395 It's pleasant. It's nice. 00:53:48.195 --> 00:53:50.675 It's inspired by haute couture as a concept. 00:53:52.000 --> 00:54:06.480 I mean, to me, that doesn't track. It just seems pleasant. Haute couture to me would be, like, dramatic and, you know, a 100 people putting together a single dress. 00:54:07.095 --> 00:54:13.335 Agree. This kinda doesn't pick a lane in a way that it just misses being anything. 00:54:13.335 --> 00:54:17.175 And maybe reformulation after reformulation, maybe style it out. 00:54:17.175 --> 00:54:20.695 I have I have the OG when it came out. I don't know. I think this is how 00:54:20.695 --> 00:54:24.530 it's Everything could be dialed up significantly more. 00:54:26.290 --> 00:54:39.175 I feel like it has, like, kind of that apricotty osmanthus thing. I want, like, more aldehydes or more, like, civet in there to kind of stank it up. It needs something grounding. 00:54:39.335 --> 00:55:23.100 I feel like so, you know, I'm deaf in one ear, and that means I can't triangulate sound, and also I have tinnitus. So when I'm in environments like a dinner, a big dinner table or a party in a small room or something like that, the noise just all kind of like combines and it's very hard to differentiate between what someone is saying and just the overall of everything. And so eventually, I just quit, you know, it's just like, okay, I'm not gonna I would love to hear what this person is saying, but I can't I can't separate it from all the other noise, so I just don't I just give up and I'll just, you know, leave. 00:55:23.100 --> 00:55:25.820 It's actually really blooming right now and I like it less. 00:55:27.020 --> 00:55:30.620 It just seemed, it went, to me, it's now, it's getting a little more sopier. 00:55:30.700 --> 00:55:31.660 Yeah, it's it's 00:55:31.660 --> 00:55:33.180 Yeah, it's more more white 00:55:33.180 --> 00:55:40.095 floral, It's soapy, nondescript, commercial, orange white floral perfume. 00:55:40.095 --> 00:55:52.735 Yeah. And so I'm trying to differentiate what I'm actually getting from this, and none of it's loud enough or discernible enough that I would be able to, like, care. So it's just like, no, I just don't care. 00:55:53.320 --> 00:55:55.400 Are you done dumping Haterade on this perfume? 00:55:55.400 --> 00:56:01.720 I'm done. You know, we spend a lot of, time celebrating Serge. 00:56:02.120 --> 00:56:02.600 Oh, yeah. 00:56:02.600 --> 00:56:08.135 We do. So I'm allowed to, like, hate on one. Yeah. Yeah. So and it's not even a hate, it's just it's pleasant. 00:56:08.135 --> 00:56:08.615 It's fine. 00:56:08.615 --> 00:56:12.055 I'm so glad I put this in the game because I'm like, let's assess. 00:56:12.135 --> 00:56:27.120 Yeah. Because I'm always like, I see Serge on pretty good prices around and my instinct is always like, I want every Serge. And it's like, no, I don't want this one. I don't really care. So, bye. 00:56:27.600 --> 00:56:28.400 Oh, wow. 00:56:28.480 --> 00:56:30.240 My turn. 00:56:30.240 --> 00:56:33.360 Alright. I have just sprayed Jane's second scent. 00:56:34.455 --> 00:56:52.620 This is nice. Yeah. It's, very earthy. I smell like very strong, like, mineralic soil notes along with, like, some smoky woody notes and then some light florals at the top. Like, is there rose in here? 00:56:54.300 --> 00:56:56.620 There is no rose. 00:56:56.620 --> 00:56:58.460 Is there fruit? Is there 00:56:58.620 --> 00:57:01.340 There there are some yeah. There's currant. 00:57:01.420 --> 00:57:01.740 Okay. 00:57:02.755 --> 00:57:07.955 You're actually, you're on track. It's like, this lady knows her perfumes. 00:57:08.115 --> 00:57:19.650 Okay. Yeah, it's very like this, actually, soil aspect is becoming stronger and stronger and I, as an iron deficient person, I wanna eat it. 00:57:20.690 --> 00:57:22.690 Well, you you'll yeah. 00:57:23.570 --> 00:57:31.575 Yeah. And, like, is there, like, a you said currant. Is it like a is there like a blackberry leaf? What is that? 00:57:32.215 --> 00:57:33.575 Oh, that's 00:57:33.735 --> 00:57:34.775 Cassis, I guess. 00:57:34.775 --> 00:57:39.815 Yeah. That's like currant leaf. Let me just I'll break down the notes for you. 00:57:39.815 --> 00:57:40.215 Yeah. 00:57:41.280 --> 00:57:57.315 Woody notes, balsam fir, violet, birch leaf, and red currant, mushroom, violet leaf, galvanum, green forest, oak moss, and elm. So you're like, you you you're hitting all that. Well Forest floor. 00:57:57.315 --> 00:58:14.150 But I wanna say, like, sometimes violet leaf, like, you can pick it out right away and that's when it's not working, and the violet and violet leaf in this is blended very well. Yeah. Because it's not upsetting the composition as violet leaf can do. Yeah. I really like this. 00:58:15.670 --> 00:58:34.640 It would be strange to where in my day to day life, I'm I even though I'm an earth sign, I'm a Capricorn, I don't I'm not a particularly outdoorsy person, but I like it. And I smell the mushroomy soiliness of it, and it's working for me. 00:58:35.200 --> 00:58:35.680 Yeah. 00:58:35.680 --> 00:58:37.920 What's what's happening here? Who is this? 00:58:38.320 --> 00:58:42.560 This is a moral map by Clue Perfume Murray. 00:58:42.560 --> 00:58:44.240 Oh, man. They do such a good job. 00:58:44.735 --> 00:58:46.895 And yeah. It's just 00:58:48.495 --> 00:58:49.295 Good pick. 00:58:49.295 --> 00:59:13.125 I will always say, like, I remember listening I I believe she was on Perfume Room years ago. And I feel like they're listening to her and the way she would describe her process and how she came into perfumery and which I believe she was part of the wave of, you know, pandemic. 00:59:14.245 --> 00:59:15.285 Pandemic perfumery. 00:59:15.285 --> 01:00:00.570 You know, she was into perfumery and fragrance and all that stuff beforehand, but then all of a sudden, you're presented with all this downtime and, you know, an opportunity to kind of reevaluate your directions and and passions and things like that in life. Then this is like the art and olfaction classes that a lot of these a lot of newer houses and self taught perfumery perfumers have come from. But just listening to her speak in the past and following the career and the releases of Clue, she just strikes me as someone that was meant to do this. Mhmm. In the same way that's like, and I don't want to get into, like, who's went to perfumery school and things like that. 01:00:00.570 --> 01:00:18.755 Like, Marissa's just meant to make perfume. Marissa Zappas. Josh, with paraphrase, he's just meant to make perfume. Are the perfumer for sorry, I can't remember her name offhand from La Curie. Just you're meant to make perfume. 01:00:18.755 --> 01:00:19.475 You have 01:00:19.635 --> 01:00:21.555 A natural sense of balance and rhythm. 01:00:21.635 --> 01:01:01.740 Connection to how you make these things. I would never have it, you know, not to speak for you, but, you know, we're it's just like you can tell the difference between people who are just like, this is what they're meant to do, and I feel like she's one of them. And, yeah, it's just it's well done. It's it's Really well saying, like, violet leaf's very well blended. The mushroom there's a lot of reasons why you could especially in indie niche perfume right now where it's like, we're gonna take some idea like moral mushrooms, and we're gonna just, like, dial it up and get kinda crazy with it, and it's like, no. 01:01:01.740 --> 01:01:06.825 You made, like, a you did that, but you also extremely wearable perfume. 01:01:06.825 --> 01:01:15.145 Very wearable, and the dandelion butter, that's another release where I was, like, skeptical of what it on paper. 01:01:15.225 --> 01:01:15.545 Mhmm. 01:01:15.545 --> 01:01:18.920 But then smelling it in real life, it's like, oh, this is very, very wearable. 01:01:18.920 --> 01:01:22.760 Yeah. The warm bulb. It's like you smell it and it's like, yeah, it smells like that. 01:01:22.760 --> 01:01:26.760 That might be her greatest accomplishment. Warm bulb is a cool perfume. 01:01:26.760 --> 01:01:37.725 Yeah. You wear it and it's like, wow, this really works both as a concept and a fragrance, and it's just like, you know, hats off to you because that's really well done. 01:01:37.725 --> 01:01:42.685 Thanks for putting this in the game. Like, I'm I'm glad we circled back to this after all these years. 01:01:42.925 --> 01:01:46.940 Alright. Well, I guess it's a third one for me. Right? 01:01:46.940 --> 01:01:53.420 Yes. I have just lauded Jeff's final scent of the game. 01:01:54.780 --> 01:02:09.845 This feels kind of like it feels warm. Like, warm sheets, warm clothes, warm cereal milk. Are you serious? 01:02:09.845 --> 01:02:11.445 Yeah. You're like naming everything. 01:02:12.120 --> 01:02:13.000 Oh, seriously? 01:02:13.000 --> 01:02:15.880 You're just literally, like, naming everything in the brief. 01:02:16.760 --> 01:02:18.760 Warm cereal milks in the brief? Okay. 01:02:18.760 --> 01:02:21.160 Really, it's like milk and warm clothes. 01:02:21.160 --> 01:02:22.600 Oh, It's weird it's 01:02:22.600 --> 01:02:24.360 weird how you just pick that out. 01:02:25.245 --> 01:02:38.685 Well, it just it fit like, there's an essence of yeah. It's like you've eaten all the cereal, you're at the bottom, there's a little bit of the the milk left, and it's just like you can smell it, but it's also it just feels warm. 01:02:39.850 --> 01:02:40.490 Yeah. 01:02:41.850 --> 01:03:09.140 I think maybe there's a thing with the blotters tonight where it's like at first I was getting a little bit, wow, this is oily. I can see it on my skin. Where it, at first, I get this kind of like sharp water, like seawater type of thing, but that's gone now. It's nice. It's really it's kind of like even though I'm mentioning these kind of the warmth, it's it's not really in synth. 01:03:09.140 --> 01:03:18.740 It's it's it's more in vibe. It's it's just feels kinda like it feels there. It's like a skin scent and 01:03:18.900 --> 01:03:20.500 Would you say this is sexy? 01:03:22.295 --> 01:03:24.695 I wouldn't say it's sexy. Would 01:03:25.095 --> 01:03:33.175 you? Well, would you if I told you that some of the listed notes were salivary notes and bath towel, would that change your mind? 01:03:35.950 --> 01:04:08.340 I live with a toddler, so it's like, I don't, you know, it's like, I Yeah. Yeah. I mean, those things take on a different tone when you're, like, bathing, you know, a gross kid all the time. I mean, I I don't it doesn't strike me as a sexy perfume necessarily. It doesn't strike me as, like, it it's it's almost something you would wear as a layered perfume, something underneath something else. 01:04:08.500 --> 01:04:09.140 Mhmm. 01:04:09.780 --> 01:04:18.595 Because that's the way it feels as well. Like, it's under it feels like the warmth under the clothes rather than, like, the clothes or the perfume or anything like that. 01:04:18.595 --> 01:04:40.530 Well, it's interesting that you keep speaking so, like, that this smells like warm clothes because this is literally here's what it says. Skin in a bottle, sultry body zone, vestige of flesh lingering on worn garment, musked laundry powder beneath, and then it has milk in the notes too. So you were just calling out everything. 01:04:40.530 --> 01:04:42.610 Does it have did you did they say 01:04:43.535 --> 01:04:56.860 So, okay, here's the list of notes. Salivary notes, wheat flour, bath towel, milky veil. What is milky veil? Carrot seed, costus, cumin, and musk. 01:04:56.860 --> 01:05:03.580 Is this Marlou? Yeah. Oh, wow. Okay. I don't remember this being so subtle though. 01:05:03.580 --> 01:05:05.260 This is dolphor. 01:05:05.420 --> 01:05:05.820 Oh. 01:05:07.995 --> 01:05:08.955 Because I feel 01:05:08.955 --> 01:05:13.755 Those notes, I remember those notes. Yeah. But it's like I don't remember it smelling like this. 01:05:15.195 --> 01:05:31.270 I wanna say, like, this is a bladder problem. Really I really would like to spray this because all of them are we have three. Have four? We have four Marlou perfumes, and they are not subtle. They are very, very strong perfumes, all of them. 01:05:31.590 --> 01:05:32.470 Very. And, 01:05:32.470 --> 01:05:33.990 They're all one sprayers. 01:05:33.990 --> 01:05:41.445 Also, like, you know, at least two of them are, like, things we wear a lot that we love 01:05:41.445 --> 01:05:47.445 Yeah. And I wore a carniqueur this week, and it's like, this is, like, heartbreakingly beautiful. 01:05:47.765 --> 01:05:56.990 Ambelux is amazing. Poutotra, what's the leathery horse one? Corporal Corporal 01:05:56.990 --> 01:05:57.790 Corporal Corporal I 01:05:57.790 --> 01:06:02.910 mean, we love we haven't the two that have been released since then, 01:06:02.910 --> 01:06:15.685 we just Heliodos and this one, which is Dulla four. We don't have Heliodose and Dulla four, and I liked Dulla four the best, but it's been a long time since we smelled it. So I thought I would bring it into the game tonight to assess. 01:06:15.685 --> 01:06:45.935 It's it's it's nice. It's not anything that I I think I wear perfume because I wanna smell it and also I want it to project a little bit. I'm not looking for compliments. I'm not looking to impress anybody, but I like the performance of it. I like the I like being someone who wears perfume and I feel like this is so subtle that it's like, it's not anything I would wear. 01:06:46.175 --> 01:06:59.560 I appreciate it, but it's not, I'm gonna wear, I mean, I'm probably not gonna wear Ambelux, like, to go to the grocery, although I'm sure I have. I don't know that I'm wearing Ambelux if I'm going out on the town. 01:07:01.275 --> 01:07:04.635 Let's try it. We've got two two nights out coming up. 01:07:04.635 --> 01:07:10.155 We wear them up to grandma and We've put significant events into carniqueur and and Ambalux over the years. 01:07:10.155 --> 01:07:10.315 Every 01:07:10.315 --> 01:07:14.955 single I mean, we're early adopters. We've been wearing Ambalux and carniqueur since, 01:07:14.955 --> 01:07:15.380 like came out. 01:07:15.380 --> 01:07:25.380 '20, yeah, 2018, 2019. So, it's, yeah, it's subtle. It's nice, I mean, it's I'm happy that I could call out all those notes. 01:07:25.460 --> 01:07:27.460 Me too, that was very impressive. You 01:07:28.020 --> 01:07:37.035 I have my days. Alright. Your final one. I have sprayed Jane her final perfume of the game. 01:07:37.035 --> 01:08:02.815 I'm thinking, I just want to say at the top, my nose is tired at this point. There's a lot of smells in this room. This is good. My nose might be a little too tired to appreciate it, but this smells like a woody rose with again, there's, like, kind of some soily notes. It reminds me a little bit of Rose Oo by Aesop, which which is something that has become kind of a reference point for me for earthy roses. 01:08:03.935 --> 01:08:05.935 Is there rose am I just hallucinating There's no rose. 01:08:06.015 --> 01:08:17.100 And everything? I'm hallucinating roses every and come back in and smell. I would take that into another room right now. Yeah. I entertain the audience with these aspects. 01:08:17.340 --> 01:08:33.895 I will go ahead and actually tell you you know what? I'm not gonna tell you the notes, but because I want you to get a fair assessment before yeah. You getting it now? Sorry. She's walked literally, like, 14 feet away from the that's a weird number. 01:08:33.895 --> 01:08:34.535 14. 01:08:36.455 --> 01:08:48.640 This is very different when I walked out of this room. Clearly, there's, like, some overpowering rose note in this perfume because when I walked into our stairway over here, it's just like musky skin scent. 01:08:48.640 --> 01:08:55.520 Much closer along. Yeah. So the notes are sandalwood, cedar, cypress, and coriander. 01:08:55.520 --> 01:09:00.955 Okay. Yeah. That makes sense. That's crazy. This room, you could not accurately assess anything. 01:09:01.035 --> 01:09:19.760 But I I would say I like it, and it feels a little bit akin to Dullafor, a little bit in that same vein of, like, warm skin scents. I I just again, like, now that I'm back in this room, I can't accurately assess it. It just smells like 01:09:20.720 --> 01:09:21.760 Cancel the show. 01:09:21.760 --> 01:09:34.665 Yeah. Sorry. Anyway, I I think I like this a lot. I I think I do. I feel like given given fair opportunity, I would I would jive with this. 01:09:35.065 --> 01:09:53.545 Yeah. I think it's a it here's my thoughts. I think it is a good perfume. It's a very kind of like mid two thousand tens, late two thousands sandalwood. It's very pleasing. 01:09:53.545 --> 01:10:07.090 It's very nice. It's pre, Santal '33, I believe. So, well, no. It's around that time. But it's kind of in that, like, hey, here's a sandalwood perfume. 01:10:07.090 --> 01:10:17.010 It's woody. You got a little spice to it, a little greenness to it. It's not like what we think of as sandalwood. You know, so much sandalwood now is so Yes. Like 01:10:17.515 --> 01:10:18.395 In your face. 01:10:18.395 --> 01:10:34.240 Yeah. It's in kind of like creamy, and this is more woody, but it's not as exciting as I would hope it would be. 01:10:34.240 --> 01:10:38.480 You know what's ruining everything in here? Noida Cellophane. It's everywhere. 01:10:38.480 --> 01:10:40.640 Yeah. I'm getting a little of that Yeah. 01:10:40.640 --> 01:10:41.360 It's giving me a headache. 01:10:41.360 --> 01:10:47.615 I will say that smelling on my wrist now, going back to the rogue perfumery one 01:10:47.855 --> 01:10:48.415 Yes. 01:10:48.895 --> 01:11:07.810 Smells a lot better. Oh, smells so much better. You're getting a lot more of that oak moss in the way that it's it's a little bit down here. It's it's so much better. Would love yeah, I want to because get the best sprayer of it is now I'm getting somewhere with it. 01:11:07.810 --> 01:11:11.810 It smells so much better. Okay, so this is Tam Dao by Dipti. 01:11:11.810 --> 01:11:21.265 Oh, God. Okay. Thank you. I actually haven't spent any time with this. We were given a sample when I bought my Fleurs de Peau hair perfume. 01:11:21.265 --> 01:11:37.360 By the way, I didn't really want to buy Fleurs de Peau hair perfume. I wanted to buy Orphione, which is something I jive more with, but they didn't have any, and we were having a nice conversation with the sales assistant. I'm like, yeah, whatever. I'll just buy Fleurs du Peau. Yes. 01:11:37.360 --> 01:11:38.720 And it's pretty pretty good. 01:11:39.185 --> 01:11:47.825 I like it. I like it as a hair perfume better than I like it as a perfume perfume because I think the perfume perfume goes so aldehytic. 01:11:48.225 --> 01:11:48.865 It does. 01:11:48.865 --> 01:11:53.590 That that is one of the aldehyde heavy perfumes that 01:11:53.670 --> 01:11:56.790 Are you talking about you're talking about Orpheon? Orpheon's the aldehyde. 01:11:56.790 --> 01:12:11.515 Is it? No. I'm talking about fleur de depot as well. Like, it has some kind of, like, aldehydes in it that when I wear the perfume, some days it gives me a migraines, some days it doesn't. Some days I love it, some days it's like, holy shit, this is giving me a headache. 01:12:11.595 --> 01:12:16.155 But the hair perfume, you've worn it a few times now. Yeah. It's just nice. 01:12:16.155 --> 01:12:22.520 And it's very like glossy AU. Something you encounter a lot in modern perfumery, it's like, you know what, it's good. 01:12:22.520 --> 01:12:33.400 It works. But Tam Dao is yeah, you know, I see it a lot. It's a good perfume. Is it something I would want? Nah. 01:12:33.400 --> 01:12:35.320 I'm a huge Diptyque fan. 01:12:35.445 --> 01:12:36.485 We Yes. Love Diptyque. 01:12:36.485 --> 01:12:43.525 I've tried Tam Dao a number of times. It's never jumped out at me, but maybe I'll spend some time and wear this and and see what I think. 01:12:43.525 --> 01:12:51.480 Yeah. Give it a go because it is it is one of those that's kind of like, I feel like I should like it more than I do. It feels like And I revisit it. 01:12:52.040 --> 01:12:59.800 Like it more than Tempo. Like, I hear more about Tam Dao than I do about Tempo, which is like what are you talking about? Tempo is like a masterpiece. 01:12:59.800 --> 01:13:12.254 Tempo is a patchouli hero. I mean, it is like a top extreme. Yeah. Yeah. If you like patchouli and you don't have tempo or you're not familiar with it, get go now. 01:13:12.415 --> 01:13:20.680 Order it. Not don't blind by it, but get a sample of tempo and, you know, yeah, you're cooking with gas. 01:13:21.160 --> 01:13:37.334 We've gone way off script on this last game piece. We've talked about everything under the sun. Okay. But I have to say, my favorite pick of the night is the Ophumim one that you sprayed me. Remind me the name Iris. 01:13:37.735 --> 01:13:39.175 Narcisse Iris. 01:13:39.175 --> 01:13:48.630 Narcisse Iris. Yeah. And that's kicking here. It's actually very, very strong, and I love that. I need it. 01:13:49.670 --> 01:13:54.630 I think I'm coming back to what is it? Mousse de Absolut or Absolut mousse? 01:13:54.630 --> 01:13:56.310 Yeah. Whatever it is. 01:13:56.310 --> 01:14:01.355 Absolut de mousse. Sorry. Absolut mousse by Roe yeah. It's beautiful. I went over and smelled it. 01:14:01.355 --> 01:14:02.395 It's completely different. 01:14:02.475 --> 01:14:04.075 Yeah, it's my kind of perfume. 01:14:04.075 --> 01:14:05.195 Let's spray it up 01:14:05.195 --> 01:14:07.915 now so we can I think that's gonna be my favorite? 01:14:08.235 --> 01:14:13.755 Good. I'm so glad. I was really, like, I put it in the game with high hopes, and I'm glad it paid off in the end. 01:14:13.990 --> 01:14:19.430 Yeah. I remember even sampling when we first got it, and we're like, it's not really hitting, but again 01:14:19.510 --> 01:14:21.270 These blotters that are killing 01:14:21.990 --> 01:14:22.950 that kill you. 01:14:22.950 --> 01:14:23.510 Yeah. 01:14:23.670 --> 01:14:31.585 Alright. Well, thank you all for sitting through another one, and we'll talk to you next time. Alright. 01:14:31.585 --> 01:14:39.430 Give give us any recommendations with Rogue Perfumer because we're still going to order that sample set. Alright. Bye, guys. 01:14:39.430 --> 01:14:39.750 Bye.
