LET 'JEREMY' SELECT FOR YOU

Oznell — Wed, 16 Jan 2019 02:05:39 GMT

This is so amusing, and yet I'm not able to categorize it. Ostensibly, it's hunky European "Jeremy", giving his heart-felt perfume reviews, but it's not really just about that-- it's performance art! Jeremy is so exuberant, and nothing if not knowledgeable.

At first I pondered if it was a giant hoax-- but no, he earnestly gives extremely knowing reviews. He must be what they call in the industry, "a nose". Anybody who can enthuse about the "tomato leaf vibe" in a perfume review, is pretty much into the weeds!

Here he discusses the best women's perfumes for winter.

I'm sure that he must have a place in the youtube beauty community but fragrance is something that I don't like to take advice for so I don't think I'll be watching his videos (although I did peek at this one a bit).

Fragrance is personal and I want to browse stores and smell and discover fragrances for myself. Most fragrances I don't actually like very much either.

The only two fragrances that I currently own and use are by Tocca:

Tocca Stella and Tocca Bianca.

I agree, @TY-- I won't be picking up on his suggestions any time soon either. I meant the title of the thread a little bit sardonically.

It's more the video that I got a kick out of, the quirkiness of it-- his confidence and that over-the-top expressivenes in making his choices. I do love to hear what fragrance "gurus" or "noses" have to say, since I've loved scent since I was very young.

My all time faves would be probably "L'heure Bleue" by Guerlain, "Nuit de Noel" by Caron, and Yves Saint Laurent "Rive Gauche", if I had to narrow it down. But these days? I just don't wear expensive scents-- I make a game of finding inexpensive ones, that still smell good. I'm sure most of Jeremy's choices are out of my league....

@Oznell Your review was so entertaining that i had to see what this performance art was about. So much fun, thank you for this joyful romp in the weeds!

Ha, ha, delighted that you had fun with it, @phoenixbrd!

One more entertaining (to me at least) short snippet. Here Jeremy has invited his pal, 'Johanna', to sample his picks of top 5 frangrances for men. The contrast in their styles is funny-- affable Johanna is as terse and decisive in her reactions to the fragrances, as Jeremy is verbose and expressively fulsome!

Jeremy looks like a suave soap opera actor!

Re: LET 'JEREMY' SELECT FOR YOU

Oznell — Sat, 19 Jan 2019 03:06:07 GMT

Ha, ha, @TY, that's such a good comparison! And there's a faint something that reminds me of sort of a twenty-first century, short-haired version of "Fabio"!! He has the same kind of good humor, for sure.

Off topic, @Oznell, but I was watching the various wig women on YouTube when I noticed that there were offers of 30% off many brands. I finally held my nose and ordered the RW Winner style. I went totally conservative and safe😏

I’m mainly concerned about wanting to scratch at it nonstop. Or that it pops off my head at an embarrassing moment😜

Re: LET 'JEREMY' SELECT FOR YOU

Oznell — Sat, 19 Jan 2019 03:48:57 GMT

Oh, I'm now going to have to look up "Winner", @tansy. I'm thinking it's a cute, short boy cut?

ETA-- OK, I'm back, after checking out "Winner". Love the way Magdaline Williams styled it-- it's not "safe" as she did it, but playful and spiky:

Also like the way Haley shows the various possibilities and colors:

Why do you think it will itch or pop off? Anyway, there are solutions for those exigencies, should they occur.

Re: LET 'JEREMY' SELECT FOR YOU

I have never paid much attention to Haley for some reason. She modeled the color I selected, and a few other interesting gray/white shades, which was great as I hadn’t seen my color in other wig reviews.

I have heard numerous complaints that wigs can be hot and itchy. While wearing a hat, I have the desire to scratch at poke at my scalp...similar to flour-covered hands making the tip of my nose itch. LOL.

@Oznell

So I watched a few of the Jeremy Fragrance videos (and yes, he's entertaining while discussing perfumes and fragrances for men and women) since I like beauty youtubers and read a bit about him on reddit.

You are right about him being a performer. In his former life, Jeremy Williams was a singer and dancer in a boy band. He's quite a talented hip hop dancer, he must have taken dance lessons for years. His singing and dancing background would explain why he's very comfortable in front of the camera.

Google his name on youtube and you'll find some of his music videos including this one:

Jeremy certainly has had various hairstyles including emo hair and spiky blond hair. I wonder if guys will look back on the past decade and laugh about their teen hairstyles like every generation does.

Cool, thanks for digging up all this interesting info, @TY!

I had more fun watching him. What a handsome hunk, impeccibly dressed. I bet he is top salesman in his crew, lol.

the only frangrance I like is Decandence by marc jacobs I get samples of all those perfumes fm Neiman Marcus. Boat loads. I get so many I bag them up and give to a friends daughter. They love it.

i am a user of BB Beach, and Marc Jacobs Pear, Cotton, rain. Huge fan of the freah, clean scents. I love Marc Jacobs, imo he is a master at perfumes. I am sure he doesnt do it, but his perfumery.

Well I thoroughly enjoyed Jeremy..I looked up the Summer 2019 Video and believe it or not I already use his #1 fragrance D&G Light Blue. I want to try the #3 D&G Fragrance he chose...which is actually named #3.

Thanks for posting!

Hey, it's fun @TY, @shoekitty, and @DREAMON, to respond to this older thread that I had almost forgotten posting! I like hearing your perfume preferences, and Jeremy is such an amusing character. Now I'll have to go look up his warm-weather recommendations too...

Re: LET 'JEREMY' SELECT FOR YOU

TY — Thu, 23 May 2019 05:21:40 GMT

My current favorite fragrances are Tocca Stella (an orangeblood scent) and Tocca Bianca (a green tea scent). They are sold at Sephora and Tocca Stella also comes in a hair scent which is like an eau de cologne and that's how I use it. The eau de parfum on both scents aren't long lasting but that's how I like them because they won't annoy anyone around me. They are both summery scents and I wear them year round.

In an older youtube videoclip, Jeremy recommends Aquolina Pink Sugar as a scent teenage girls and college age students will like. I used to use this scent a few years ago.

I will stick with my tried and true classics.( Guerlain and Dior) He reminds me of the old time door to door salesmen ,that would stop you from closing the door with his foot. I'll be he says the same thing about a can of Glade

Re: LET 'JEREMY' SELECT FOR YOU

If you want a serious critique of perfume , I will suggest Lanier Smith, from Scents Memory, on youtube. He is a person who talks about the notes and nuances, of each scent, without spraying it around like air freshner

@Oznell

I have an old spray canister of Rive Gauche. i wore it for years, since it first came out in the early 70's. unfortunatly they changed the notes in the late 1990's. they said they did it for the modern woman. hmm. it smells almost the same but doesnt have that lingering note anymore. i never had so many compliments in my life as I did with Rive Gauche. it was the first perfume I bought over and over
