This was a great alternative video thank you so much professor🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Thank you.

[@filthymindtricks209]

This Video sold me on De Flor and i love it was super excited when i learned it was coming from Nilifar du nil because they make some AMAZING fragrances

[@tjvbham5831]

This is a great video subject Sebastian. Your new camera has outstanding clarity, especially at the distance you're standing at.

[@Carolynsweetheart]

I wore Reve Gauche when I was 19 years old. Great video. You look especially handsome ❤

[@tdsollog]

Affordable options are great, especially for discounted fragrances.

[@ewaczajka1282]

I wish to find Gucci Envy female version alternative :(

[@mermish4]

Same!!!

[@minzzier]

I still have half a bottle of Gucci Envy edt from 1997. Gorgeous scent and sadly have not come across a similar scent. If anyone knows of a dupe, please share.

[@ZakariyaKourrair]

I believe your camera's auto-focus is on your eyes so when it can still detect them atop/to the side of whichever bottle you're putting in front of you - that's when you're running into auto focus issues. Hope this helps!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

That's why I keep pressing the focus on the products in my hands but it keeps switching.

[@risewithchris3135]

A company in the UK have recreated Plum Japonais, it's called Plum Harajuku

[@mattl7424]

Is it close in smell though

[@wishawlad3635]

​@mattl7424 yes it's an exact copy from the formula as it was released

[@greggraham9785]

Hello Sebastián, great job on the video and list. Athena sounds great!! Thanks you for helping us out. Stay safe brother

[@blackcat6508]

Still haven't found a good clone of Envy, I wonder why it's so difficult to recreate that amazing scent.

[@boogiedaddy3434]

I sadly missed out on Absolue Pour le Soir and have been wondering what it was like. I'm happy to see that Hive will get me close to the experience. I'm also intrigued by Abha, it sounds right up my alley.

[@equalityfragrances1854]

Great video. I need an alternative to Dolce By

[@phantomplastics6582]

Dua's Rive Gauche expression is great too.

[@PerAllwin1963]

I still have an unopened, original version of Gucci Envy For Men in my basement bedroom closet. I bought it in 2003. My basement stays pretty cool to cold all year round, so I’m sure that even after 20 years, the cologne hasn’t lost its fragrance. It’s a very attractive, masculine fragrance.

[@CommonSense-iu6wz]

ME!!!! I wore Envy for men, then I graduated to Envy for women, which I have two bottles of... They're very precious 😊

[@Becausing]

Oo! Catching up and noticed the new camera/audio setup. Looks/sounds great!!

[@Mojo8]

Thanks for putting out some alternative fragrances, I sold my TF Plum Japonais much to my regret but I think I will give Hive a try .. Cheers Brutha 😎

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Yes of course!! :)

[@Mojo8]

​@@ThePerfumeGuy Hi Sebastian I found another alternative that I opened tonight, it's Zara Imperial Purple ... smells like Dior Homme Edp ...cheers 😎

[@thewafflez_73]

Will you please do a video that focuses on Akigalawood? It’s quickly become one of my favorite notes, it’s so stunning, IMHO 😉.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Actually anything created by Quentin Bisch should automatically feature Akigalawood. I'll see if I can put something together.

[@jonathantipke1655]

I love Gucci Envy and have a small decant. Best alternative I’ve found is Santal from Floris and Carven Homme. Going to have to check this one out.

[@hamzahbholat7816]

may i know which one is closer to envy?

[@off2geo]

@@hamzahbholat7816 Carven Homme old formulation in clear bottle. New black glass version is a no.

[@Jakoub.A]

I have 7 fragrances from this house and only have Abha from the fragrances that you mentioned in the video. Once you get past the opening, that fragrance transforms into something amazing with a wonderful sillage with the added fruit notes kicking in. Recently sampled an old decant of Envy and loved it. Nice to know that Covalent is similar to your nose. Thank you

[@jeffreyjackman7053]

How is the performance and longevity with Abha?

[@Jakoub.A]

@jeffreyjackman7053 longevity is 8 plus hrs. Sillage is very good, especially in the colder months.

[@jeffreyjackman7053]

@@Jakoub.A thanks very much.

[@ManwithScents]

Great selection over there to try !! Just signed up!! Thanks for the tip!!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Sure thing.

[@bashawnjohnson]

Sebastian I am really glad you did this video

[@funeka691]

This Athena sounds like a brand to try. Have you found any alternatives to Pineapple by D&G and/or Florabotanica by Balenciaga? Love both and both are becoming harder to find online.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Sadly I can't remember Florabotanica. I do remember Rosabotanica reminded me of Un Jardin En Mediterranee by Hermes but forgotten Florabotanica sadly! :(

[@cityslacker6221]

Has anyone here tried the Covalent? Does the muted ginger make it a heavier fragrance? I used to where Envy in summer evenings and it wasn’t stuffy. Is this similar in that way?

[@ashleylala4293]

What a great topic! I have found Phlur Missing Person to be a suitable substitute for Narciso Rodríguez Musc Intense. Not exact but close enough. I just wish the Phlur was a little more intense. Wish I could find a substitute for Jo Malone French Lime Blossom.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Very interesting re Missing Person and the NR MI

[@isobel64]

isnt french lime blossom in the archives

[@acevedobrooklyn]

Perfect 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@wmichaelh29]

Thank you for introducing at least for me Athena. I see Athena has a version of one of my favorites Portrait of a Lady they've named Portrait at $65.

[@noelmagtoto]

I love Athena Fragrances! Thank you! Can you please do a review of DS&Durga as a house??

[@ahmed-samir]

Wow Athena fragrances ❤

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Yes absolutely.

[@samsettah]

Please Sebastian do a review on Athena by Athena which is inspired by PDLN 3

[@acevedobrooklyn]

Wonderful 🎉🎉🎉

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@IntrigueAvenue]

I'm generally not a floral guy, but ironically anise might be my favorite note of all.

[@karlsenula9495]

Midnight in Paris ... I told the manager at Van Cleef and Arpel in New York that they should bring it back ... but doubtful.

[@RachelKNg]

Such a Great Video! ❤❤❤👏👏👏

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Thank you!!

Rasasi Daarej / Valentino V

[@carlito7863]

Hello my friend! Sorry I forgot the other day. I would like to know if covalant has a dated smell? Is it good for today noses? Thank you

[@carlito7863]

Hello Sébastian, how Hive perform? Thank you

[@chocolate-mantra-box]

What do you think of Krigler perfumes? Have you tried their Lovely Patchouli 55? I am new to the brand...not sure if the fragrances are worth the steep price tag...Looking forward to your thoughts. Thank you

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Hmm not a good experience when I visited them in NYC in 2019. Awful customer service from a nazi sales associate there.

[@chocolate-mantra-box]

@@ThePerfumeGuy Oooh! Yikes! That is terrible. It's a definite NO for me then! Their loss for sure! You are great!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I might give them a try but I haven't really felt like it after that experience sadly! :(

[@cosmo1kramer]

Can you review burberry brit. What are your thoughts as a perfume guy

[@mattl7424]

Nice. I’ll have to sell some of my fragrances and get some cheapies.

[@T-ea_Rose]

I’m looking for a alternative to a long discontinued Tumulte pour Homme from Christian Lacroix one of the best cedar fragrances ever

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Sadly I'm totally unfamiliar with Chrstian Lacroix! :(

[@mahyar7126]

Thanks, Sebastien

[@donaldgenenavarro]

Shame on YSL for discontinuing Rive Gauche!! I have 1.25 bottles from the same batch!! 🙏

[@thomaskemp904]

Can't find De Flore Eau de parfum RG alternative anywhere, looked on Athena fragrances, in uk

[@LRCollier]

Camera quality so high I can see the dust on your spectacles.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I love dusty spectacles! LOL! ;)

[@bookbeauties8074]

I have been look for a good dupe for the original Fendi Therema. I hope I spelled that right.

[@bigcat4376]

Hello, I need you to review the perfumes of the house. The name is the Spanish Botanicae, which is Niche, and the prices are cheap

[@getsf]

I bought a bottle Absolut pour le soir esp and absolu pour le soir Cologne 200 ml, Sebastian have you tried Colonia mirra Acqua du Parma discontinued now ?

[@dgm3033]

I know you love Patchouli, as do I, can you do a video of your fave patchouli scents please, maybe im yet to come across the video if done already. I’m also looking for an alternative to Carolina Herrera Nightfall Patchouli, I want this perfume so bad but the price tag

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Check out my Top 25 Patchouli Fragrances video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGbYoYGfds-NrMk until I shoot another one in the Autumn! :)

[@bluered3228]

I've just been getting back into fragrances after a long absence and had no idea Envy was discontinued. Still have half a bottle but want more. Any other suggestions?

[@inmytravelstoday]

I found several bottles of YSL Rive Gauche pour Homme in a very small town drug store in their “fancy section behind their counter.

[@davidwestwood2457]

Can I have one? 😅

[@raulsaavedra709]

Sebastian, do you have or have you smelled "American Blend" by Fine Accoutrements? I have it and like it, supposed to be similar to Rive Gauge, but I have never smelled the original. Did not know of this alternative from Athena, De Flore, will get it at some point.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I don't know this brand. I'll have to try American Blend if I can find it! :)

[@emirhansarbay1606]

Can you do one for Leather Oud by Dior? Please? Thank you

[@GabrielGarcia-ip2hs]

Great stuff 🍀 looking for cerruti 1881, jean patou lacoste 🏆🌙✨

[@harryiglesias]

Hi, Sebastian...could there possibly be an alternative to Givenchy Insensè?

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Hi I've looked and looked and looked and nothing. I hope someone tries to make something! :(

[@wandacrowell6766]

Is there an alternative for POTL Luctor et Emergo?

[@carlito7863]

I don't know that one.

[@mrclaypole]

Apologies for being relatively new on the fragrance journey. Is there any suggestions for an alternative to Cartier Declaration d'Un Soir, which I was a bit late to the party on?

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Sadly I haven't found any alts for that fragrance. There are still bottles of it at Fragrancenet for around $90 bucks!

[@gazog1]

Gucci envy was the best…….❤

It sure was so good.

Sebastian, can you find alternative to JPG - fleur du male?

OOH Fleur Du Male would be amazing. But the only alt I have is one in this video by a brand called Custo which Francis also created. He must have copied himself! LOL! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXjQhImiq7J5iZY

No need for alternatives if you own all four!🔥😍

Alow sebastian ..any alternative to mugler pure malt?

I wish. I haven't found it yet.

[@ryanheilman5092]

I have heard Fragrance World’s Star Men Nebula is an affordable alternative to it. I haven’t smelled either so I can’t offer an opinion, but wanted to share that info so you can look into it. Good luck ✌🏼.

👍

[@moondust013]

[@bobbyorlando10]

DUAs river gauche is a perfect RG dupe

[@jsam7455]

Boadicea the king is the best alternative to plum jap imo. I have flacs of plum jap as well as 2 bottles of BTV the king and they are very similar but like many if not most of BTV to their inspirations BTV smells of higher quality

[@daniell5740]

Just got that the King before it completely disappears man its to good
