[@ericrobinson1789]

I just literally purchased "Vintage Green" at Burlington today. Can't wait to wear it too.

[@dedrickhicksjr]

🔥🔥

[@johnniemckenzie9484]

Thank you for this video. Back in the day what started it for me was the likes of " Obsession, Eternity ,Fahrenheit, Curve, Cool Water, Joop and Polo green. Now I will be on the hunt for some of these BR fragrances that you've mentioned.

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Thanks for sharing! Thanks for watching!

[@da4thwun]

Bro, I watched your videos of Vintage Green and felt the need to cop this one. Been chasing this one for months but today finally found it for the low at Burlington's. Man bro you definitely be on your scents. This def going into rotation starting tomorrow. Good looking out my dude 🤘

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Enjoy! And thanks for sharing!

[@da4thwun]

Just found and copped that Tonka Bean & tobacco...Definitely you was on it....Juice is lit 🔥

[@michaelwhalen2469]

Guerlain Vetiver and Guerlain Habit Rouge !! Certainly not inexpensive. But if I could only own two colognes for the rest of my life ( a terrifying thought !! ) it would definitely be these two !! Shire Heaven in a bottle !!👍😌❤️. MikeW.

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Thanks for sharing & watching!

[@stevenhicks3742]

Much success! God bless!

[@YoTratoYTrato]

Good call on looking for these at "rack stores". found Vintage Green 2.5 oz for $21.99 and Neroli Woods 5.0 oz for $29.99!😮. Love both, but VG-78 is AMAZEBALLS!!

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Wow!! What store did you find the neroli & woods?

[@YoTratoYTrato]

​@@dedrickhicksjrit was Ross in Tampa Florida on Hillsborough Avenue. I seen it last night, but didnt get it cause I wasn't familiar and only picked up Vintage Green 78. After I smelled VG-78 I booked it back there this morning to get Neroli woods. There was one left there this morn when I left

[@YoTratoYTrato]

@@dedrickhicksjr lemme know if you were able to scoop that last one D!

[@KINGREKO1]

0:58 I think it may have to be an inspired version of baccarat rogue or Kilian black Phantom TBH!

[@B_Rye15]

So glad you put this together, D! Briefly browsed through my local Burlington today, and ran into a few these. It made me consult this video review. Pure White, Metal Rain are my targets, along with a backup of T&TB. ✌

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Awsome bro! I hope this video helps!

[@andym.roberts5818]

Thanks bro,I was also able to find a few of them at Burlington

[@dedrickhicksjr]

That’s dope! Thanks for watching!

[@YoTratoYTrato]

The fragrance that got me collecting is most def Khamrah Quawha, so yes Im a recent collector😊

[@thesrobinson848]

Just got Grasslands today

[@yarad12]

Citizen jack absolute, privee amber noir, YSL Y are the 3 that got me to start collecting though I already had a nice line up

[@RUDAZE]

I don't know it was any one fragrance, probably when I purchased my 25th bottle. I'm now at 125 fragrances, so ya I'm a collector. Your top 4 are the 4 I have, ya I enjoy them all. The one I want is mosaic oud heard that is really nice. Appreciate the video 👊🏽

[@dedrickhicksjr]

No problem bro!

[@Scorp3348]

Dope🔥🔥, didn’t realize the icon line rolls so deep .Great fragrance house great info on those. I started loving fragrances in high school when I use to work at macys. I was rocking,polo , tommy and my fav was Liz Claiborne sport. But I started getting serious when I got that man o Friech by Versace. Great show 💯

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Scorp! Thanks bro!

[@kharyjarrett1039]

fragrance that got me started was Brut splash on, my pops had it lol

[@dedrickhicksjr]

😂.. shoutout pops!

[@kharyjarrett1039]

one time for da old school lol

[@kharyjarrett1039]

o and Chaps cologne, he had that too lol

[@dedrickhicksjr]

@@kharyjarrett1039 so did I.. lol..

[@prettyzoemel]

I knew I should’ve picked these up when I saw them at Ross. Now they are almost impossible to find 😢

[@MarcusWilliams-jp6hy]

You can still find them at Burlington.

[@prettyzoemel]

@@MarcusWilliams-jp6hy thank you Marcus I will definitely keep looking 🤞🏾

[@dt8528]

The fragrance that started my collection journey is Mancera Cedrat Boise.. I love that stuff man! That bug bit me and I haven’t looked back since lol 0:55

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Cedrat Boise definitely will have you hooked! Thanks for sharing!

[@xtoec1]

Versace black jeans got me started

[@KylerBorn]

Vintage Green 78. Rocking 2 bottles too. 👍👍

[@jessynsiesi5443]

The fragrance that got me in the game was The One for Men Eau de Parfum because it reminded me of my dad I was emotionally touched. But before that I had Versace Eros edp that I also enjoyed.

[@chameleonphoenix5956]

It started with CK Obsession and Hugo Boss Hugo, I wore those back in the day and my dad bought them because he liked them so much, he passed away last November, he always wore fragrances my entire life so in honor of him I started collecting, I wish I could share some of the 250+ I've purchased, he would be blown away with so many that I have now, I wear his favorites when missing him is hitting me hard 🙏

[@dedrickhicksjr]

God Bless You Bro! Thank you for sharing! Thank you watching! 💯🙏🏾

[@KylerBorn]

My dad got me Stetson. But my first true love was Safari in high school. I always bought fragrances here and there, but it wasn't until I found TLTG reviews decade's later, because I was looking for reviews on English Laundry. Then I watched his other reviews and Cedrat Boise and Nishane Ani turned me into fragrance collecting. Now I'm broke because of Ross, but I smell incredible 😂

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Safari!! A classic! Great story! Thanks for sharing!

[@jameskennerly4412]

I live in Jacksonville as well, what Burlington did you go to to get metal rain ?

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Orange park last summer.

[@jameskennerly4412]

@@dedrickhicksjr thank you.

[@comeoncents3288]

These are on my list. And your top two are the ones I’m most interested in.

[@005connect9]

JPG le male was my first fragrance it was a gift from my mother in high school and I loved it so much I continued to buy it over the years and I still have a bottle to this very day even though my collections grown to over 40 fragrances into my 30s

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Thanks for sharing!

[@MrClark30]

Guerlain Heritage started the journey for me. I have Neroli Woods from the BR Icon line, but on the hunt for Vintage Green.

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Vintage Green is amazing! I love that stuff!

[@mikepgz1]

Carolina Herrera CH started my obsession. I was looking up the new formulation of it on KZbin because I noticed when I bought my 3rd bottle of it it was different and that spun me off into the world of KZbin fragrance reviewers and the rest is history.

[@saulmidgley4113]

My first one was hugo man but only got that till burberry touch then it began a&f feirce on too 200 + and still going my last ones was banana republic dark cherry and amber , tonka one and grassland

[@uncledonteg]

My fragrance journey started quite by accident. Grabbed Banana Republic Black Walnut Legend from a rack store without knowing it was inspired by Aventus. Then the chase began!! Lol

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Man I feel you on that! That Aventus DNA serious!! Thanks for sharing!

[@michaeltaylor3471]

The CK line is where it started for me. Inexpensive and they aren’t the most projecting but they are very easy and pleasant to wear as daily scents (CK One, CK Be and CK All). They are very unisex as well. Even CK Obsession…

[@ChrisDavis-ec5qf]

I’ve always had at least 3-5 since college but what really popped it off had to be khamra!!

[@larrydouglassr9149]

My favorite is linen and vetiver

[@mr.mcclain9917]

Versace Eros Flame got me into collecting. Smelled it on a guy at a cookout and was like bro what is that!!! I’m actually wearing it today since the temp dipped into the 60s this morning.

[@dedrickhicksjr]

That’s dope! Thanks for sharing bro! I love flame!

[@mr.mcclain9917]

🫡

[@ScentsAndFragrances]

Curve but it really took off with Gorgio Armani Attitude

[@wschrisma77]

Heavy D I am old school so my fragrance journey began with Polo Blue and Versace Pour Homme for freshies, then the wife liked Paul Sebastian and the rest is history! During Covid I went Ham on collecting Ross ,Justin Ash and Michela,got me onto the fragrances Aqua Essensale Blu, Cedrat Boise and Dior Homme Intense I'm a frag head!

[@Nosey704]

The Fragrance that started me collecting… was Dior Sauvage EDP. I felt it was so good, and received so many compliments, that I wanted to have an army of fragrances to always smell good.

[@gcbwoods]

Also, I love the ICON line. Banana Republic has one called Classic. That one is exactly what it's named. Love it.

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Yea bro the icon line is underrated! Great bang for your Buck!

[@sbibbfids]

the fragrance that got me into fragrances is acqua di gio absolu

[@gcbwoods]

I've always had a few fragrances on deck. YSL L'intense and BVLGARI Pour Homme were my first serious purchases. As for deep collecting, it began with Armaf Clud de nuit. Now I'm about 150 bottles in.

[@maggielemon7060]

Mines was ysl Libre intense the way it smelled on me

[@officialgates4589]

Nautica Voyage .. found out about it looking for cheapies on KZbin . And got 2 nice compliments in the same day whiles wearing it at work and that started jt all .. I’m now at about 165 fragrances and counting lmao

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Great story! I know how you feel.. lol

[@MarcusWilliams-jp6hy]

The ICON line is dope. I have 12 of them and the only ones I don’t have (outside of the new ones) is the Gardenia and Cardamon and Peony and Peppercorn because they are more feminine. I use them as my gym and out the shower scents.

[@maggielemon7060]

I want oatmeal an raisin

[@WealthOfOpportunity]

Gardenia & Cardamom is such an amazing spring scent but is a bit more feminine leaning for my taste. Vintage Green is my favorite from the line and can't believe I got it for $20

[@richmoneycash1]

In 2013 I smelled Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme and I started collecting. I probably kept 5 or 6 colognes before that now I'm probably at 250.

[@dedrickhicksjr]

Man that’s a massive collection! Allure Homme Sport Extreme is Awsome!

[@seanlane1018]

The first fragrance I fell in love with was Royal Copenhagen but the fragrances that made me wanna start collecting was Vince Camuto Solare and moreso when I received the whole Spicebomb gift set

[@calvinfelton4077]

Think for me it was Aqua Di Gio in college. Banana Republic definitely has some hidden gems.

[@TonyG2797]

Probably one million

[@irenern1261]

désolé j'écris en français par ce que mon anglais n'est pas très bon. je suis nouveau dans ce milieu, mais le premier parfum qui m'a donné envie de commencer une collection c'est le givenchy réserve privé l'année dernière et récemment j'ai fais l'acquisition du afnan turathi blue il est incroyable merci pour toutes tes vidéos 👍🏿
