Persolaise Love At First Scent 27 - live perfume reviews - feat. Chanel, Guerlain, Hermes

Episode 27 of Love At First Scent This was a Facebook Live broadcast streamed on Friday 15th February 2019. Unscripted. Unedited. Unrehearsed. The perfumes covered in this episode were: Un Jardin Sur La Lagune from Hermès (at the start of the video) 1957 from Chanel (at the 17:00 minute mark) Mon Guerlain Bloom Of Rose from Guerlain (at the 30:00 minute mark) Siren & Sailors from Jusbox (at the 50:00 minute mark) and I also mentioned the new book Perfume: In Search Of Your Signature Scent by Neil Chapman (at the 39:00 minute mark) — Here's the blotter update... I feel I may have been too dismissive of the Hermès. There’s something curiously vegetal about its marine-floral accord (reminiscent of Jardin De Monsieur Li and Eau De Narcisse Bleu) that’s pretty compelling, especially on skin. I feel this one might reward repeat wearings. The Chanel continues slinking around in its musks while adding prominence to a vetivert facet; pleasant, elegant and well-rounded The Guerlain remains quite thin and forgettable, which is a shame, as I would’ve liked a strong lavender-rose Thankfully, the Jusbox isn’t quite as overpowering as at its start, but it doesn’t fully ditch its sickly-sweet personality; I really do wonder if Winehouse would have gone anywhere near it.
