Your take on ‘if you miss out on a fragrance and it gets discontinued, move on’ is refreshing. Fragcom perspective on hunting down at all costs - and at any price - needs to be challenged.

Two things: 1 - My goodness George you're looking particularly great recently! and 2, fantastic list and a great video idea as well. Loving the extra content too. Keep it up! Might I add a possible series idea? You talked about how Man in Black is similar to Spicebomb Extreme. Perhaps you can do a series on redundant purchases by talking about the different options considering the pricetags. You do a great job on discussing what fragrances are worth it for their price, especially because nowadays the cost for most scents just keep going up.

I love Spiritueuse Double Vanille! It was my first niche love before I knew that niche existed. Even if there are better vanillas, I have an emotional attachment to it. Love Feve Delicieuse too! I'm keeping it for special occasions. I sampled Tonka Imperiale last year. It's a masterpiece and to me, masculine- leaning. I've ordered a sample of Guerlain Angelique Noire. I disregarded it in the past because I used to think I couldn't wear green notes. I hear the vanilla in it is the same as Spiritueuse Double Vanille. I'm a vanilla monster! Have a great weekend, George. 😊👍💖

I liked your review of Eau Sauvage. It really describes that fragrance well. Starts out with that fresh Neroli blast and then turns into a manly beast. I always associated it with an evening at a country club in the summer…a formal dinner after a round of golf with a bunch of wealthy business types. I bought it a few months ago. what a classic.

I wanted to pick just 1 on the list that I thought you have to buy. For me it’s Platinum Egoiste. I have owned it from the mid 90s, when I was in my early 20s and have loved it ever since. I have always, and will always own it. It’s just that good. It’s probably one of the last fragrances I would get rid of if I had to give up my collection. You had some others on your list that you must buy, Eau Sauvage and Double Vanilla are to good not to own

All fragrances are jumping in price....that is why i said buy what you want now before your never able to buy them.....If it hard to justify paying the prices now wait tell you see what there going to charge in the future...And like you said George some have already done that....I do feel pressure to buy these fragrances that either are being discontinued or going up in price like Beach Geeza did...I mean i agree with Beach Geeza when he said he has been giving them away since he started...I got to say they were cheap 120 bucks for 50ml now they are 190 bucks for 50ml still worth the price i think but i got everyone of his fragrances before the price jump because i felt i needed to and i was spot on....Very Nice as always George!

Yes! Yesterday Haze! I got a decant of that because I was searching for fig or date FRUIT scents. Not just fig leaf or tree but the sweet, juicy, gooey-textured fruit. And with that in Yesterday Haze along with whipped cream - yes, a whipped cream note - in the mid, it's on my full bottle to-buy list. But I don't like Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum, either 2012 or 2017. I don't like the gummy elemi/myrrh. Eau Sauvage EDT (1966) is my second favorite ever in history, but not these recent parfums. And did you mention neroli as being in there? Doesn't smell like it to me at all and it's not in the notes listing. Did you mean elemi? OK I just checked the note listing for the 2012 version and that one lists petigrain as a note. I assume that is what you were referring to. And Platinum Egoiste is a struggle because the metallic accord is way too intense.
