Episode 14 of Love At First Scent
This was a YouTube Live broadcast streamed on Friday 27th April 2018. Unscripted. Unedited. Unrehearsed.
Perfumes covered in this video include:
- Ombre Nomade from Louis Vuitton (at the start of the video)
- Aqua Celestia Forte from Maison Francis Kurkdjian (at the 16:00 minute mark)
- Champ De Fleurs from L'Artisan Parfumeur (at the 27:30 minute mark)
- L'Homme Ideal Intense from Guerlain (at the 1:01:30 minute mark)
and my classic choice was
- Gold Man from Amouage (at the 42:30 minute mark)
---
As promised, here comes the 'blotter' update...
- Ombre Nomade has become much more interesting - and much more animalic - than I thought it would: the link between the tart fruit and the leather is quite compelling
- Aqua Celestia Forte is unexpectedly limpid, nowhere near as 'heavy-musky' as it might have become under the hand of a less experienced perfumer
- Champ De Fleurs has lost some of that almost unpleasant raspiness and has settled into a pleasant - if unremarkable - light jasmine
- L'Homme Ideal Intense has kept to its 'dusky rose' theme; it remains charming and enjoyable
(Samples of the above were provided by the brands, except for Amouage Gold Man, which is from my personal collection.)
