Dior Sauvage is like a Mainstream fragrance for people that just want one scent that fits every occasion or can at least be worn in every Situation without being inappropriate. Also many people really like it. I personally got an almost full bottle of the EDT but I never wear it. Its just too strong for me. The heavy pepper gives me headache.

Great video, man. I can empathize with some of your choices, especially the Bleu de Chanel and Sauvage. Once you've smelled so many great scents from niche and indie houses, you tend to go back to these and just react like, "Meh. I'm not liking this" and kind of let them go. I can attest to the ADG dilemma, too, as I wasn't too much of a fan of that one and thought it was pretty substandard. Plus, the ADG DNA kind of offends my nose for some reason, like it smells cheap or something. But yeah, good list, man. Always love your stuff. :)

Another terrific classy video. I've never owned or even smelled any of these but I did get rid of about 100 fragrances last year (including some minis and decants). Like you said in your fragrance journey, some scents lose their appeal and others get replaced by better versions. I bought a lot of what I sold in the beginning of collecting and as my nose developed so many of them lost their appeal, especially as I got into niche and higher end. But I even sold some Chanel exlusivs which is a pretty big deal. I regret a few of the sales because they are discontinued now and are regarded as unicorns in the fragrance world now but for the most part it was the right move. The fragrances I've replaced them with and acquired since are far superior. And now have a ton of samples and a few bottles that I need to get rid of! If you're interested in trying some cool niche stuff let me know. I have half a dresser full! Tons of unisex.

I love the smell of la nuit but the performance is very bad (at least on me). It would be my all time favourite if the performance was better.

Thank you for this video, as it’ll help me with selecting a scent for my husband and teenage son.🙏. I no longer wear Chanel #22; which I wore for over 20 years. I not only stopped reaching for then wearing. I still own the bottle which still has #22 in it. It just seems like the formula changed drastically. I liked it for the powdery, clean, yet seductive qualities. I have many different scents in my collection, but I yet to find a replacement. Take care , Dawn etc.🧚🏽♂️

Thank you, Dawn, I'm glad I can help. I haven't smelled #22. What would be the next runner up in your collection in terms of a fragrance that you reach for often?
@dawnetc.67214 жыл бұрын
J. C. Hi J.C. The second fragrance that I really do not reach for anymore is Chanel Chance eau Fraiche because it doesn’t really last. So I prefer the Chance eau Tendre . This scent is fresh, fruity, floral, with key notes of citron, jasmine, and teakwood (which I love). On my 3rd bottle. So while I have your attention, what is a good scent for a 16 year old basketball playing young man (my baby) who wants to get the ladies attention? Thanks 🙏🎄⛄️🌟👑💖

Congrats on the new digs brother... Onwards & upwards. I've not done so yet but am about to do a cleansing of redundant fragrances & like yourself a lot of the designer freshies will go first I think, like the Sauvages, & the Armani's & the CH Men Prive & Invictus Aqua & maybe Chanel's BDC EDP but I do love that fragrance a lot so not sure if I'm ready to part with that just yet. I did get rid of my Ferragamo F Black & my Prada L'Homme L'eau but I do have the OG L'Homme & also Dior Homme which I may get rid of even though I love it but I love the Intense & the Parfum more so and they for me are Designer masterpieces especially in the cold weather we have here in the UK. I have a few niche fragrances now and I think I'm leaning more on that path although I'm also a fan of the Tom Ford private blends which are arguably niche? One designer, well originally a glassware designer fragrance release that I'd slept on for years but have finally bought a bottle is Lalique's Encre Noire A L'extreme, I think this a great cheapie, picked it up for like £27 which is roughly $35 great fragrance for the price & one I'm using as a daily wear at the minute.

Its a hard pursuit to only keep what you love and let go of what you like. It might seem a little extreme to some, but its something i'm simply trying to do for myself. I would agree at TFPB is pretty much niche. Those fragrances aren't designed to appeal to as many people as possible. I've been meaning to try Encre Noire A L'Extreme, still haven't smelled it believe it or not.

Nice job bro. Really enjoyed this especially the reasons why u got rid of each one. Hey congrats on passing 20k subs btw awesome man! Cant really think of any I've never sold a bottle before so it's tough. I had BDC EDT years ago and when it finished I got Sauvage EDT instead of repurchasing the Chanel. Thanks Justin. - Colin

Thanks Colin! It was hard for me to start selling them, but once I did, I realized that I didn't miss them. This has really filtered my tastes, because there are only a handful that I've missed after letting go, and have since reacquired. Most of them I thought I might miss but don't miss at all.

Don't get the latest reformulation. It so much worse than the original, not even funny! It doesn't last long, it's by far the shortest lasting fragrance I own (and yes, it's a confirmed original bottle, not a fake). In that price range, that's a real cheek.
