@vmendonc Rubbing doesn’t do anything other than rub off the fragrance and minimize its power. In these short segments, there’s only a few seconds for the anchor to register the scent and make an observation, and I don’t have the luxury of time to let the alcohol burn off and my skin warm up the fragrance. A quick wipe against my clothes cuts the alcohol smell and warms up the scent at the same time. But in real life, you’re right: you don’t want to waste perfume by rubbing half of it off!
I love your videos, but whyyyy, whyyy rub the fragrances!!! As a fragrance connaisseur you should know that u can’t do that!
@DecemberMarie I think you just might dig the newest Agent Provocateur, L’Agent. It’s lush and full and a little sweet, with a leather twist.
Hi Katie! I’m such a fan of your reviews. I’ve recently fallen in love with Agent Provocateur and Agent Provocateur Maitresse. I was wondering if there were any similar fragrances along those lines you’d recommend (preferably a bit less expensive lol)? I’ve heard some reviewers compare Maitresse to Chanel No 5 but honestly, I can’t stand No 5, it smells old ladyish to me.
@sparkybish Someone’s got to!
I love that you used the words horny and slutty on tv news.
@KatiePuckrikSmells Yay! i cant wait..
@friscobiatch78 Thanks, hon. I’ve got another “date” with Raoul this week! Will post the segment by the weekend.
I love Raul! hes so cute and so much more funny to watch than the lady that interviewd you. Good job katie.
this interview was so much funn to watch, great job
“Perhaps you’re a little horny.”
L.M.A.O
@242razor That’s wonderful to hear!
@KatiePuckrikSmells , thank you so much katie , god bless you for everything you’re doing coz you’re changing people’s lives…the new me is more confident than before
Great interview Katie
great segment katie
@ColoursandScents Good idea! Annick Goutal Sables, The Different Company Sublime Balkiss and Serge Lutens Bois et Fruits come to mind…
Great points, especially about not wanting to clash with a holiday (or any) meal. When I think of holiday meals I think of fragrances with some sweetness such as maple, cranberry and plum (wondering if there a designer or niche fragrance with maple, plum and cranberry notes, hmmm).
Aww katie, you’re so charismatic and eloquent! You were made for tv! lol!
LOL you really shocked her :0) xxxJoolsxxx
Molecule 01 is comprised entirely of aroma chemical Iso E Super, which provides the cedar/sandalwood smell in SO many masculines, from Terre d’Hermes to Amouage Jubilation XXV & beyond. It will seem comfortingly familiar to you when you smell Molecule 01. Because it’s just one ingredient, and not a composition, it feels a bit skeletal to me (because I love opulent, lavish “meal in a bottle” perfumes). But it is undeniably appealing, & the thinness can also read as freshness. & it lasts FOREVER.
@CanwllCorfe615 MiP smells to me like a more accessible, more billowy Bulgari Black. My personal pref is for Bulgari Black, but I think MiP’s sweeter approach may work for those who aren’t down with BB’s rubber. I’ve not parsed the diff between the EDT & EDP.
Well I guess you ended up liking Midnight in Paris!
After a couple more successive samplings, I’ve decided I do enjoy it. I’m not sure it’s FBW yet. Did you get to try the EDP and EDT? I don’t get too much of a difference between the two. The EDP may be smoother, but that’s about it.
Very cool interview – I will definitely have to try out Molecule 01! Is there anything that smells similar to it?
@1224darl I feel that wearing fragrance not only is an expression of your individuality and mood, but is also a way to enhance what’s going on in the world around you.
great tips and suggestions. although the lady interviewing you seemed to be too uptight and stiff for you. like she couldn’t imagine it when you said “horny”. anyways, you had a lively personality and explained that fragrance has actually and can be a part of the christmas/new year spirit. =)
