We spent a couple of days in Paris and Versailles smelling some special things, and here our some of the highlights.
In particular, we talk about out trip to the Osmothèque, the world's largest scent archive, where we we guided through the history of perfume by the lovely Anne-Cécile. Visits to the Osmothèque are arranged by appointment:
www.osmotheque.fr/en/visits/
We then went to the flagship Guerlain store on the Champs-Élysées, and were shown around by the lovely Francoise.
Amongst the other perfume houses we visited, a real highlight was Orizia L. Legrand:

I have been watching your (wonderful!!) videos for a couple years and stupidly didn’t think to subscribe until recently. You two have such a warm way of sharing (that might have contributed to my Guerlain obsession). I was today years old when I watched this video snd learned about the Osmotheque... whaaaat? Mind blown! Some day I hope to journey here; in the meantime, thanks for taking your viewers along.

It truly must've been like stepping through a window in time. Congrats on that wonderful bottle of Mouchoir de Monsieur, as well.

@@WaftsfromTheLoft Dear Dan and Joe, I began to review this video again, and I did a double take at the 48 second mark. As you panned to the right, just after focusing on the Jean Patou briefcase, you reach a wooden shelf with a glass top over what looks like a small refrigerator. Several fragrance bottles are on the glass, and the one on the far left, is a bottle of Lalique Pour Homme le Faune. That fragrance introduced me to a larger world. I discovered it about 2-3 years after it’s release on a trip to Toronto. I forgot to pack cologne and purchased this fragrance in a downtown department store from a lady in men’s fragrances with a French accent. After discussing what I liked, she recommended Lalique Pour Homme le Faune. When Lalique discontinued it, I was sad. However, a few weeks ago, I purchased a mini from eBay. That’s the first time I’d smelled it in years. I was surprised to see a bottle in this video.

Merry Christmas gentlemen! Could you smell Apres L'ondee extrait? Did you like it? I got a bottle and it's a really beautiful and delicate thing. I haven't seen those pastel colors in this perfume in any other Guerlain. Right now Apres L'ondee and Mitsouko are my favorite Guerlain's.

Any resemblance of Mitsouko to ALD Antiquity?

@WaftsfromTheLoft 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, there certainly are similarities. Although, the bitter oakmoss is such a big part of the personality of Mitsouko, and I don't find it nearly as prominent in Antiquity.
