@AP0LL0edc Good to see you here! Glad you followed my lead.
Hi Katie! I just had to re-visit this review because of your One Million video. Nice!
Katie, I wonder which Serge Lutens fragrance(s) is(are) your favourite(s)and which ones you own or find full bottle worthy, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. In fact I’d love to see a video in which you talk about your favourite fragrances of some perfume houses (not every, it would take ages!). Like, for example, Daim Blond from Serge Lutens, Homage Attar from Amouage, Une Rose from Frédéric Malle and so on.
@MrRic2828 I haven’t really gotten my head around Nuit de Cellophane yet. For rose & aldehydes, try: Narciso Rodriquez Essence, Penhaligon’s Elisabethan Rose, D&G Rose the One, Chloé Eau de Parfum Intense, Perfumer’s Workshop Tea Rose.
Katie what do you think of la nuit de cellophane??? i have and i love it … is there another perfumethat smells similar to this?? also i love perfumes that smell like rose and aldehides any sugestions?? thanks kathie
katie, can i take you out? i live in LA too
I love apricot, and I’m getting tired of wearing coco mademoiselle every single day. I want something totally different. This might just do the trick.
@handelviola My perfume pen pal Dan likes to joke that his fragrance acquisition habit is going to end up with him dead in the alley behind a perfume boutique. A 12 sniff program sounds like a pretty good idea. At a certain point, you’ll have to decide between poverty and just buying samples/decants (instead of full bottles).
Enjoy your Daim Blond!
well Katie, i finally have in my hand a bottle of Daim Blond and hopefully this will end my perfume spending cuz it’s getting outta control. way out of control. how bad does it get for other people? is there a PA Perfumista Anonymous? 12 sniff programs?
@KatiePuckrikSmells I am a proud owner of my first serge, fumerie turque so yummy but it doesn’t last very long on me.
@handelviola Ironically, perhaps, Fleurs de Citronnier is one of the uncharacteristically light scents from Lutens’ line. Most of the others are chock-a-block with spices and stewed fruits and leather!
i finally got to try my first serge lutens, fleurs de citronnier, i think i’m converted. love it!
Katie’s one of the most beautiful women on the planet
@freakyguru Aww, thanks for your lovely comment!
@hannanewf I’m pleased to hear you two made such a good match!
I watched this review a couple of months ago and then saw it while on vacation last month. I remembered your great review of it and tested it on myself. Needless to say, it came home with me. It is fabulous! Thank you so much! – J
@muniqueen1 Well, Rive Gauche is a reference aldehydic floral, the type of which is not much seen in current mainstream perfumery. We aren’t really accustomed to those sharp aldehydes these days. I’m reminded of a 17-year-old viewer who wrote to me saying she loved wearing RG even though her friends told her it was “old lady”. She loved it because it turned her into a “don’t mess with me” woman!
@KatiePuckrikSmells
So I finally got around to smelling Rive Gauche again and don’t know what I was thinking as was nothing like Daim Blond (which upon a later wearing, made me think of pencil shavings & then Dr. Pepper – I kind of liked the pencil shavings, but the Dr. Pepper not so much). Back to the mystery of why my mom smelled so good when I was little. . . apart from the fact that she was my mom.
LOVE your videos. Just getting into the beautiful world of fragrance. SOOO glad I have you via the tube to “help” me. You are HILARIOUS and beautiful at the same time. Thanks for being awesome!!!!!
@Kejeka Hah! The SL lady fed me the same line a few years back, and that’s how I ended up with Ambre Sultan and Fleurs d’Orange. And it turned out I didn’t really care for Fd’O, and passed it on to a better home. Even though your combo worked, I think that the SL perfumes are mostly pretty thick and busy and too overstuffed to mix and match.
@muniqueen1 I love it when perfumes hold that time-travel element in the wisps of the smell. I haven’t made the connection between Rive Gauche and Daim Blond, but that doesn’t mean anything. I love that whole late 60s early 70s “grown-ups”/”Ice Storm” era.
The lady at the perfume store, told me you could mix up Serge Lutens fragrances together. Its sounds fun because you can do so many combinations. So i tried Miele de bois and Clair du musc. And its true ^^… Lovely. To bad my budget doesnt allow me to mix more of these.
Wow! This smelling business is neat!
I happened to get the end of a bottle of this. It makes me think of crystal ashtrays – in a good way – because it reminds me of my parents’ parties when I was small. My mother used to wear Rive Gauche (YSL) then – am I way off thinking there is something of that in Daim Blond? (Maybe because I ended up using those crystal ashtrays far too much later in life? {lesson: smoking is bad for you})
Thank you so much for your suggestions! I will definitely check those out. And you were were right about the one – i got to try it the other day and i am in love! I just got my own bottle :) i am so excited!
@aStarlitSea D&G The One is a good fit for you. Also try Guerlain Idylle, Narciso Rodriguez For Her (compare the edt & the edp) and NR’s new For Her Musk in the purplish bottle. A sheerer amber that’s very nice but not as “sexy” is the new Prada L’eau Ambree. Oh, and check out Lancome Sensuous while you’re at it.
