Fragrance Masterpieces In My Collection
So this is a follow up to last week's video; my 10/10 perfumes.
The perfumes I show are those I would consider masterpiece level; they may not be my favorite and some are very polarizing, but the ones I’ve chosen are iconic and for the most part groundbreaking at the time of their release.
Because many of you like to play the Fragrantica guessing game, I’m not going to list the fragrances here right away. I will come back to list them in a few weeks.
I wanted to make sure I included some designer fragrances and a few marketed to men. 😉❤️

I don't trust anyone's judgement who 'hates' things. It represents a singular lack of objectivity. I make jewelry and I'm always so umimpressed by designers who 'hate' and 'can't work with' certain colors. Really, you're just making jewelry for yourself then? 🤣
I remember smelling Dior Poison for the first first time. It was representative of that era. The 80s, a time of unapologetic maximalism, more is more, and excess....The bigger the hair, the closer to God 😉. It was THE perfume you didn't know you needed, but, overnight everyone was wearing it. I still wear Hypnotic Poison. I had a similar experience with Angel in the 90s. Wow. I had never smelled anything like it. Love it still today, even though I rarely wear it. Between the fragrances and music, it's as close as we can get to a time machine. Wonderful video 🙌🙌

Good morning from the west coast of Canada 🥰. Such a lovely video to enjoy as I have my morning coffee ☕️ ❤. You mentioned so many favourites that I’ve worn in the past and present. I had Angel when it first came out - I received it as a gift. And while I never really loved it, I used it up because I recognized how unique and special it was. Two that I would dearly love to own, as I’ve sampled and loved them so much, are Babycat and Lost Cherry. I will likely repurchase the lovely Chanel 5 Eau Premiere one day. It was an instant love and large bottle purchase when it first came out. You’ve got me interested in the EBK Patchouli one! Thank you, Chris 😍❤

I consider a masterpiece one that, as you said, is unique and showcases a new kind of profile, or else is outstanding in its category, but additionally it must be an enduring fragrance. The ones I consider masterpieces from my collection include Dior Poison (the OG) and Joop! Femme (a vintage bottle). Both still thrill me and fill me with wonder every time I wear them. Of the more recently released fragrances I own I'd probably include Black Orchid edp as a masterpiece. So different when it first arrived on the market. I also have to agree with you on some of your selections including Chanel No.5 (I have the edp, but I also love the L'Eau) and LADDM, and there are plenty you've mentioned that I love although may not agree they qualify as masterpieces. Lovely video. 😊😊

Well, FK did something right with 540 as I can *never* decide if I like it or not. I don't like the cotton candy hit but I do like aspects of the scent. // I love the NR for him scents, the EDP especially. // Delina does deserve her love. I appreciate longevity in a perfume, and Delina does it. I, too, love all three versions. Wouldn't want to wear it often but I do love it. // My SOTD is a Creed ... Angelique Encens. I found a decant in the archives to use up. The quality of older formulation Creed knocks me off my feet! // I was thinking Samsara for a Quality Scent and ... there she is. ;). Nice List!
