Hi everyone, today I am discussing my most addictive scents. We had a bit of a cold spell recently and I started reaching for those heavy, comforting sweet scents and I realised a lot of them are also the type of fragrance that make me want to keep sniffing. Some of them are kind of guilty pleasures.
Fragrances discussed:
Hypnotic Poison - Dior
Classique Intense - Jean Paul Gaultier
Sunshine Woman - Amouage
Nero Assoluto - Roberto Cavalli
Absolute Aphrodisiac - Initio
Gourmand Coquin - Guerlain
Santal Majuscule - Serge Lutens
Bengale Rouge - Papillon Artisan Perfumes
Au Coeur du Desert - Tauer
Miranda - Esse Strikes the Notes
Honourable Mentions:
Tolu - Ormonde Jayne
Kiss Me Intense - Parfums de Nicolai
Velvet Orchid - Tom Ford
What are some of your most addictive scents?

The strength of our associations are definitely in direct proportion to the amount of emotion involved! It's the old cliche of girl meets boy, girl hates boy, boy and girl go through an emotional experience and suddenly they love each other. 😂 There is more to the story however - girl becomes more familiar with boy, boy realizes he's in way over his head, girl wants boy to change, the break up happens but neither can ever seem to get over the other. Swap 'boy' for 'fragrance' and it still works. 🤣 The subconscious controls our lives!

Thanks for the wonderful review and I hope you have a terrific last weekend of winter!

@MC-iw6nv 3 жыл бұрын

I own “Au Coeur du Desert” by Tauer, best dam Amber scent on the planet. This is the extract version of L’Air Du Desert. It doesn’t have the same sillage as the extract version. If you sampled the lesser concentration, and found it strong enough you, you could pass on the extract version. Although I should add, the EDT version opens up more dimensionally, as opposed to the extract version which remains more linear.

I absolutely agree with you! I do have both but only because my partner prefers LDDM and I prefer ACDD. It’s nice to have the option of both but definitely don’t “need” them 😍

This is my first time watching. Looking forward to more. Dior’s Addict , Gallagher’s Wicked Good are just a few of addictive fragrances for me. Oh and I just smelt BDK Rouge Smoking and I fell in love. Have you tried Penhaligon’s Cairo? So so very nice!

Just discovered your channel and I am so glad I did. I agree with you about how addictive Amouge’s sunshine woman I just love it and I think the tobacco adds to its creaminess actually as its smooth and white tobacco. I have only tried l’air dessert Marocian from Tauer and I also found that to be addictive. I share it with my father actually which is really funny as its the first time I fell head over heels with the same scent as my dad, lol!

I’ve got to agree with you about “Ani” by Nishane, a beauty I own and enjoy. Talking about lovely vanilla scents, have you tried “The dance of the Dragonfly” (translated) by Nobile 1942? Dare I say, in my humble opinion, the best vanilla scent out on the market. I own it in the Extract version.

As for tobacco I love Chergui, I had a decant of Sunshine and I wore it several times and I just couldn’t be a big fan of it, every time after a few hours I wished I had put something else on... so I sold what remained. However I think I maybe had more of an issue with the osmanthus than the tobacco.

I think she would prefer something that is not strong or too sweet. I think something classic would be great for her. Something that is great in hot summer weather but also can be use in colder days. Something she can wear daily anytime and any occasion.

@TheTopNote 3 жыл бұрын

Haha oh dear this is always hard because you can never know how people will react to different smells but I will try to give some suggestions that are easy to source and for the most part, well loved. Hopefully a good starting point for you at least- off the top of my head, based on what you describe I think Chanel No.5 Eau Premiere might be a good one to sample and see if it works, or possibly Bois Des Iles from the exclusifs line if your budget extends that far. Alternatively you could go with something like 24 Faubourg by Hermes or something more modern but still classic: Infusions D’Iris by Prada. Of course with limited information it’s hard to make suggestions but These should all be pretty easy to find and test. Please, please make sure you sample or smell whatever you are considering before buying! Good luck!

Can I request you review Chanel’s 1957

@MC-iw6nv 3 жыл бұрын

I purchased this scent straight from Chanel’s website. And to be honest with you I returned it for a refund. It’s a white floral, a bit soapy, flowery scent. Ordinary, this would be right up my alley. However, in my opinion, it leaned more on the synthetic side, too many notes, which in the end gave me a headache. Are you into white florals, or do you have a likings for a certain favorite notes instead?

@cls63amgwagon34 3 жыл бұрын

M C haha no I can totally get how this might give you a headache, but for me I get some honey in the opening and for the rest it’s mostly white musks and white florals. It’s just a clean fragrance that I go VERY light on the trigger, two sprays max. It is a little synthetic, but not too much imo, and I don’t get a ton of notes, I mostly get some honey, white florals, white musk, and orris! Orris was actually a note I had never smelled before so I really enjoyed that as well!

@MC-iw6nv 3 жыл бұрын

CLS63AMG WAGON Yes, I totally get the clean musky white floral, very heavy though and powdery, with longevity and decent sillage. I prefer more natural scents, from Indie Niche Houses like Francesca Bianchi, Ex Idolo, Exaltatum, Tauer and Hiram Green, to mention a few. This is why I believe, I can quickly pick up on watered down mix medium synthetic made fragrances from Designer Houses, which I steer right away from, unless I pick up a vintage from EBay. Some Designer Houses like Dior, Chanel and Guerlain sadly, have watered down butchered reformulated their fragrances for the worse, a shadow of their former self. For this reason many fragrance connoisseurs have turned to new and exciting Niche Houses like Centuari, Fort and Manle, Nobile 1942, Papillon to mention a few for the really good stuff..

@cls63amgwagon34 3 жыл бұрын

M C yeah to be honest I’ve only heard of a few of the fragrances you’ve mentioned, I’m still a beginner. But yeah I’ve heard the same things about the new formulations of Dior prive, Chanel exclusifs, geurlain, etc

@MC-iw6nv 3 жыл бұрын

CLS63AMG WAGON Oh yes they have been massacred. Since 2005, our buddy IFRA, has been systematically destroying, over the many years, every classic fragrance House out there. Replacing nature ingredients notes/oils for synthetics. Ironically in their “persuade” to eliminate the allergic reaction factor, they have created fragrances that give certain individuals, like myself, headaches, rashes and asthma. Since you’re a newie, can I make a few suggestions into the world of Indie Houses? The experience is quite surreal. Masque Milano, Francesca Bianchi, Exaltatum, St Clair and Centauri. Really nice intro.
