Never a fragrance youtubers explain this kinds of types so well, thank you very much

I instantly imagined the two most important women in my life - my mother and my wife. Their personalities and perfumes they prefer to wear match 100% with the statements mr. Dove put in this video. It’s brilliant

Amazing Mr. Dove You are not only a perfumer, but also a poet as well. Even Wordsworth wouldn't have been in a position to provide such a beautiful categorization of perfume lovers and personalities. No wonder that you are such a great and creative perfumer. Mr. Dove you are undoubtedly a gift to quality perfume lovers.

I think this tip is the advanced level of how to wear fragrance properly. Thank you

What a lovely, honest and humble Gentleman.

Roja is so knowledgeable and eloquent that I could listen to him talk about perfume all day. That being said, on this instance I'm afraid I won't be following his advice. I'm an EXTREMELY SHY person and there is nothing glamorous, opulent or extravagant about the way I present myself. BUT I adore orientals with a passion. I never wear florals or Chypres: I don't like to smell like flowers and Chypres are way too dry for me. I need vanilla, spices, resins, woods, tobacco, gourmand notes,... Orientals are so rich, comforting and evocative. Please, Roja! Allow us, shy people, this one instance of opulence and excess!

I could listen to him all day.

I LOVE how the items on your website have these olfactory groups! Saving this video for reference! 🕶

No words to thank you enough for this thought line. I love your work!

I wore sweetie oud uae kingdom of Saudi Arabia Kuwait and sultanate of Oman to work and the women at work went crazy so many compliments it was mind blowing

Superb topic and awesome video as always

This is a topic most people seem to not understand. Very important message.

This is why he is one of the top perfumers in the world!

Amber Aoud is probably my favourite, very oriental. Thanks for your videos Mr Dove

Love you tips and interviews. Such knolodge! One day will have my Roja!

I love all styles of perfume but I do match my scent to my clothes and situation of course :)

Oriental woody fragrances certainly my favorite. Since I'm a Leo they must stand right out like no other very commanding and regal and most of all exotic. Christoph Raynaud did a very impressive job with L'ature that won me over straight away, I haven't tried any of yours yet quite curious actually. I've actually been working on a few projects myself. I was creating an oriental fougere but now I'm thinking the coumarin accord might have to be scratched the anethole and linalyl acetate accords work like a charm together but I'm thinking maybe more earthier notes could be a better replacement which means an entirely new fragrance altogether maybe tumeric, carrot seed and nutmeg yeah that accord works. I'm babbling on now break time I think.

I absolutely love your perfumes... ♡♡

Oh. My god no wonder I like Diaghilev so much

The chameleon, depending on the day or event, I wear anything, but lean tords oriental. I love seductive, sexy, alluring scents that leave a lasting impression. I wear my perfume with assertiveness and confidence that garners attention no matter how I dress. Even if you dress down, do it with style!

Mr Dove, that was an eloquent and insightful treatise on an innovative approach to fragrance composition classification...and so damn practical! I actually was as intrigued by your response to the comment/question below regarding anosmia. While I try not to offend, I wear my scent for me. I want to smell it all day long. Would you please, please, please post a definitive guide to auto-olfaction?

I love his work. My favorite is Elysium. Wonderful citrus in there and when you put it on, you smell soapy clean fresh out of the shower. Gorgeous stuff. Someday, my budget will allow me to purchase it. For now, I have to settle for imitations. 😢

I love this video! I have always wondered which family I belong to? I think I am a bit of all three! But out of all them I have always been drawn to Oriental scents ❤

Loving the education

And what about a gothic geek who loves oud and incense? I appreciate darkness and opulence in perfumes. No vanilla, no sweetness, no fruits and absolutely no bright notes.

New sub here, loving your video’s, thank you x

Like the way you simplify things.

It's very nice

I never put a thought into what fragrance I am wearing, but last year I tried different kinds and now I stick wit orientals. I personally feel like they are playful, and that is a part of my personality.

I am a bit confused...by your description I sound like the 2nd type of woman - no compromises etc...but I like perfumes which have a mix of floral (mainly lavender, orange blossom ) and citrusy notes (mainly mandarin or orange)...it's the latter that draw me in to a perfume though. Does that fit with chypre?

I have a question that I really can’t fathom, why do my fragrances never seem to last? Or is it simply i cannot smell my own fragrance? If anybody can suggest or explain to me some tips and advice, I spritz for myself and unfortunately don’t have the joy of my own scent! X

Am I the only one who clicked on this video because he looked like creed from The Office?

I enjoy fougeres, and chypres, but without question Oriental spicys is where it's at.

Floral, Sheep(?,) and Oriental.

A female version please.

which roja fragrances are chypres?

Chypre perfumes any day for me 🤩💐🌹🌷🪴

Here's one very important thing you missed: Culture! I realized something super acceptable in one country is straight up offensive in a different one. Personality styles differ as well from country to country. For example in UAE even kids wear Oud/Amber whereas in the west a 20 something wearing the same will get weird looks. In Japan anything beyond citrus is unacceptable. Could you do a video on that please?

Might be a bit reductionist and projecting, don't you think? What if you don't fit into any of these personalities?

Chypre are best man who wants show he sexy than oriental

I guess if you don't fit in to one of the three personality types you shouldn't wear perfume? And if you are capable of being fresh and easygoing while wearing understated tailoring and might be wanting to grab attention and interest from some people you should layer, or maybe confine some of your personality traits the day you a wearing a certain perfume. In that way the perfume will better reflect your image ... An awkwardly constrained personality, that lacks confident and awareness of own taste and wellbeing and therefore lets it self being guided by simplistic typology.
