9 Fragrances SO GOOD, I've nearly used them all up!

BOOK a 1 on 1 Zoom Consultation with me: calendly.com/t...
I'm only doing the consultations for this December, so book whilst you can!
In this video I take you through 9 Fragrances that i've loved so much that I have nearly used them all up, I tell you the different memories I have with them and if I will be buying them again.

Feve Delicieuse is not Discontinued - I can but it in my Dior Boutique and online.

[@rd5469]

It’s discontinued in the States. I called Dior because I bought a bottle and got an email saying they ran out. I wanted to make sure I was on the waitlist. This was like 8 months ago, they only had 200ml’s for sale, and I didn’t want to spend that much. If your local boutique has it they won’t be getting more restocked after they run out. You should buy a bottle and sell it online in a couple years it will be worth at least double.

[@blinkyschannel]

I have a little sample of Alexandrea's version of this, and at first sniff, I hated it. Took six months or so and I almost started to like it, haven't tried it in a good six months we'll see.

[@rd5469]

@@blinkyschannel Alexandrias and Dua’s take forever to macerate. I heard it’s faster if you put them in the refrigerator.

[@JinTCJL]

Feve Delicieuse in its current iteration is not worth purchasing anyway. Astringent herbal lavender, sour cherries, cakey iris baby powder and vanilla. The original formula from between 2015 -2017 is a completely different fragrance. Velvety, chocolatey, sweet, sticky and dessert-like.

Good job George👍. I recently layered Tobacco Vanille with Tuscan Leather just to mix it up. I smelt like Bad Santa. Will be rocking the office party. Cheers Fella.

[@user-rk1fu1sv2n]

Love all your videos George, and the frequency is astounding. Disagree with the majority of your likes which no big deal I think gourmands are not really cologne. Your video style makes me wanna watch regardless.

[@clipdrift]

I can never get myself to actually finish a bottle. I usually end up leaving like 10ml of it in case i crave it again in the future.

[@10countboxing46]

Keep the bottle and cap, you can just smell the cap whenever you want to be reminded of those memories.

[@patrickjackson9577]

Boards of Canada reference was spot on! Also, nice use of Dayvan Cowboy in your Millesime Imperial vid. 😉 Thanks for the amazing content, George! I got into fragrances for the same reason I love BoC. If you know, you know.

[@carlgranados7106]

been wanting to try Slumberhouse for ages but like you said they are the most mysterious frag indie house ever. Their website has no info except the option to get on their mailing list, which I am, but you never get any email from them. You seldom see their frags for sale because as soon as there is some available it's out of stock and they are very expensive. On resale, if you can find it, they are even more expensive for tiny bottles usually in the hundreds. Since it's also almost impossible to get decants of them there is no way I'll spend $200 to 500, or more, for 10 mls to try them and from what I understand the formulations often change when they make new batches I won't pay that much just to satisfy my curiosity.

[@GSZEUS1926]

You want the best clone for Dior Feve Delicieuse? Please please PLEASE try the EXTRACT Perfume Parlour clone of it. Absolutely bang on, gem of a fragrance. After 3 weeks of maceration you won’t miss the Dior. Thank me later

[@ncpmadhead]

Interesting will look into that one, I thought maybe alexandria had the best one?

[@ZenPlatform1]

Love the Boards Of Canada reference :’)

[@Memfys]

I adore Tobacco Vanille, it's my favourite scent ever. I'd say I wear it quite a bit but still made just a little dent in my 100ml bottle in the 3 years I've had it. I hope it's gonna take a while before I get through it all. 😀

[@sunnysinghchouhan5319]

Mizensir perfect oud, try it x

[@noelrodriguez6625]

1. Bleu de Chanel EDT Yes, would rebuy, it was a launch tester bottle my mom gave me when she worked at Macy’s. I would probably end up buying the Parfum tho. 2. Pete & Pedro Rebel My first ever solo fragrance purchase, Aventus clone, but probably wouldn’t rebuy. I would probably invest in a bottle of CDNIM limited edition parfum or another aventus clone. 3. Mont Blanc Starwalker Hell yes I’m getting this again, already have a backup bottle. 4. John Varvatos Dark Rebel Hell yes I’m getting this again, already have two backup bottles 5. CK One Shock Next time I see this at a rack store, I am 100% getting it again. It’s just too easy to like. 6. Acqua Di Gio Profumo I have a backup bottle, but I’d probably get a bottle of the parfum first before using it. 7. Mancera Cedrat Boise Yes, almost done with my 60 ml, I will certainly upgrade to a 120 ml

[@golfbuddy1969]

50ml of Gucci Guilty Elixir is pretty much the same $$$ as Amouage Reflection at discounters for 100ml. So RM is way cheaper.

[@marekkuczyk7784]

GUERLAIN L'INSTANT EDT EDP LEGENDARY FOREVER...GREETINGS FROM POLAND MAREK I LOVE THIS SCENT ❤

[@Klacoslav]

That Romania bit cracked me up, I do the same thing but inside my own country. It is quite comical. I am quite worried about my holy bottle of sacred Hommage A L'Homme by Lalique, The Fragrance Jesus prescribed potion of awesomness. It is so mature and classy. Fahrenheit is that masculine skilled mechanic after shower. Hommage A L homme is the owner of not the workshop, but the car company. And of course, the bottle... The bottle should be in an art museum. Cheers, George.

[@malikmuhammad3784]

Great to see a collection nearly finished it shows actual life vs reviews. Thanks for sharing. I attempted to sell my nearly finished(10ml) bottle of Valentino V, but everyone was suspected fake so I went and enjoyed it to the last spray.

[@10countboxing46]

We now return to hoarders - fragrance edition

[@michael.gasaway]

I finished a few bottles this year: ADG Profumo, Givenchy Gentlemen Only, and TF Oud Wood (replaced with Borouj Lamasat Oud). Like you, I’ve put a decent dent in Zaharoff Tabac, but I the next two that will likely be emptied are Ben Sherman Signature (budget Ombre Leather) and D&G The One EDP! I’ll likely replenish The One, and wind up upgrading the Ben Sherman! Edit: almost forgot to mention I finished my bottle of Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme this year

[@seansimmons73]

I've only started collecting about 3 or 4 years ago, so I haven't emptied anything quite yet. The ones I'm lowest on are Alure home sport & molicule 02 because I use them a lot for layering. I will probably be re-buying both

[@scentanity2280]

Raghba is available all over where I live for dirt cheap, but I've never given it any regards after my wife helped me finished a bottle 2 years ago! 😅

[@muntster]

I almost finished up my bottle of Guerlain's Vetiver which will probably be done by next summer. I already bought a backup in the form of a 200 ml vintage bottle. So, I should be set for a while. Also, I highly recommend getting Nasomatto's Pardon. I bought it this year and after comparing it side-by-side to No Apologies... it's not even close. For being a "clone" I was actually surprised at how dissimilar it was from Pardon. Pardon is head-and-shoulders superior in every way. It is the logical replacement for LIDGE and a step up in quality as well.

[@monkeyhouse1672]

Loved this video. George - you put some truly wonderful stuff together for us all. And these videos go BEYOND #fragcomm and hit the mark wider. And deeper. Just saying. I'm coming to the end of Encens Mythique hy Guerlain, something I fell in love with going to West Africa for the first time. Syrupy incense with a dank edge to it... also - just ran out of Diptique Phylosikos. Fig. Saline notes. Amber. Amazing all year round pick me up scent.

[@jasonmfalconer]

'traditional values of Christmas, getting free shit on the day' George youre a legend.😂 I've caned a bottle of Ebene Fume, may not be rebuying more into collecting discontinued Lushes, oh meeting Simon Constantine at a fragrance event soon too , should be good

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed night

[@lasiqueiros]

I love LIDGE, but also I need to recommend to try Dior Patchouli Imperial, truly underrated gem that is in the same category.

[@bradleysmith4317]

Almost done with my Sauvage Parfum…will buy again. Ormonde Jayne Tolu is 3/4 gone, won’t rebuy buy like it. L’Artisan Noir Exquis has about 5 sprays left and it’s a must own, so will get again. The rest I can think of are summer frags so will wait til next year to get again

[@Kris1up]

Signature Tabac is actually amazing. I need to get a full bottle. To me its the best of Zaharoff by far!

[@sogsehzus]

Hey george, this spring and summer, i wore most of the time this one fragrance and killed 2 bottles of it, and i have a lot of scents, this was the one i kept beeing addicted to: Stravanza by Wiener Schurken, (a barbershop in Vienna). Best price for the charisma it brings to the table as a scent, hardly recommend it!!!

[@miles-178]

L´Instant de Guerlain Eau Extreme also my fave ... also almost empty bottle ( having both EDP and EDT since 2016 )

[@properfpv7160]

The ones I rebuy. Spice Bomb Extreme- on my 3rd bottle Prada Black- on my 2nd bottle. Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense-On my first bottle but use it regularly and will definitely rebuy. Out of 50 I have some are almost empty. 20% full Jazz Club- will rebuy 20% full Oud Wood- maybe rebuy 1/2 full Creed Aventus- probably The rest are 80-90% full and will last my lifetime because I rarely wear them.

[@Namo81]

I love tobacco vanille a lot i mean a lot. My 50 ml bottle is about 15 ml left bought en new 50 ml and a half foul 30 ml as well. Now i am good to go 😃

Both are very good. I could see myself moving on to Tonka Imperiale, it's more masculine and woody than Feve.

I had a load of fragrances that I had put away like the original le male I have a Armani black code here 19 years old 2004 (I checked the batch code underneath) still has its smell as only about a centimetre from the top. I might put it on ebay for collector or someone who is interested in the bottle

[@rd5469]

I didn’t care for Guilty Elixer, it has an off putting earthiness combined with florals. Was a scrub off for me, my wife thought it was gross too. I have Reflection Man, and Reflection 45 and 45 is worth $500, but I waited for a sale and got it for $300. One of my favorites, definitely doesn’t smell like Guilty Elixer. My bottle of Sauvage Elixer is getting low and I’m definitely getting another one. Can’t live without that one.

The Big Ben joke had me in stitches. No one’s got a sense of humor anymore! 🥲 I am nearing the end of a bottle of Givenchy Play (my first “big boy” fragrance when I was a tween) and I’m reluctant to use it up because it reminds me of those days of yore. I usually wear it only on my birthday to keep the youth alive.
