[@TreyDanielsRealEstate]

Since Bottega Veneta V is no longer made, can you give me a suggestion for a replacement?

[@phyllisiervello]

Due to my strict budget, I only bought one new perfume in 2023 and it was Essential Parfums’ Patchouli Mania. Sebastian, thank you for all your videos in 2023 and I look forward to more of them in 2024. Have a wonderful and safe trip to Japan.

[@padminimayur4049]

I feel this so much! I am entering a low / no buy year. Thank you for making me feel like it's possible!

[@phyllisiervello]

It is definitely possible!

[@sweetpeace5]

@@phyllisiervelloHOW?? I need advice 😅

[@jimlittle5769]

Ingenious Ginger was one of the biggest surprises of the year for me. So good!

[@mariemattsson824]

My favourite release this year was definitely Francesca Bianchi's Byzantine Amber. It's so addictive!

[@ems_h.eartnotes]

My favourite release of the year was Solaris by Penhaligon's. I also discovered and loved Dancing Light (2022) by Olfactive Studio and Chipmunk (2021) by Zoologist

[@petarmolnar14]

I was disappointed by Jub40. I mean, I was expecting it to have greater oomph, too green and too camphy to my nose. I prefer New York Intense by Fragrance Du Bois.

[@sanneparf]

'Fior de pane' sounds intriguing 😍🪽 Happy new year to everyone !!! ✨

[@sesame88]

This is a great video Seb. People will surely use this as reference for their perfume purchases.

[@movo10]

Sospiro Dolce Melodia might be my biggest obsession as of now. It is phenomenal.

[@ahmedelgezla3113]

Dolce melodia my favourite discovery for this year. Happy new year For all

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Happy new year!

[@funeka691]

Sugar Leather is low key addictive. I'm always smelling myself when wearing it 😅

[@MuddyGreenMonster]

Ecrin de Fumee, Tobacco Honey & Jubilation 40 were my faves.

[@shirleycantoni3152]

Serge Lutens Ecrin De Fumee is gorgeous. It’s beautiful layered with Serges Fleurs D’Oranger

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

So many gorgeous scents you’ve listed, thank you. Happy New Year

[@tmonique11]

First! 2023 was full of exciting releases! Some of my favorites were Cherry Ambition, Carmina, Burberry Goddess, Valaya, and Phlur Father Figure. However, some favorites that I added to my collection last year that maybe weren't new are unquestionably Silky Woods, Atomic Rose, Thameen Blue Heart, The Harmonist Hypnotising Fire Parfum, La Perla Possibilities, Bana Banana, Apple Brandy on the Rocks and YSL Atlas Garden and of course, the OG Babycat!

[@hasseljab]

🎉😂

[@Persepolis8564]

Francesca Bianchi Byzantine Amber is amaaaazing

[@BRUNO-cj9wd]

I like the fact that you explore the more exotic brands. You are helping to expand my Fragrance world thank you!

[@lowrider419fly]

Yes, to an honorable mentions video!

[@_-Anna-_]

Great list! I would add Akro’s Bake to it! 🍋✨

[@ShawnaShah]

Happy New Year, Sebastian! ⏳ I now see a visit to the Ministry of Scent to experience Vanille Supermassive before heading to LCD Soundsystem’s NYE bash! 🥳🎉

[@Furriner]

My favorite that I smelled was Adorem, which is put out by the magazine Nez. Perfumer is Fabrice Pellegrin. It only comes in 15 ml size and may be limited edition. Enjoy Japan! I may be going next month,

[@Bacanissima]

Muchísimas gracias querido. Feliz 2024❤

[@OphelieFontaine]

In your background shelf: are there the three new DITA VAN TEESE scents? ❤

[@richardtaylor4870]

Just got my new bottle of Shalimar Eau De Cologne. Everyone says it's discontinued. I think it leans masculine.

[@Tashi-tect]

Yes part two pleases my fav release this year is smoking hot from Killian

[@masterofmyfate-gp4nu]

Ingenious Ginger is a very good scent. I much prefer Fuego Futero over sol salgado.

[@joannam5566]

Fantastic for sure😊

[@lauravterrazas]

Ouranon is so different! (In a very good way) 🙌

[@sarahsargent9439]

Can you make a video on Stora Skuggan, I just discovered them and am obsessed

[@melliebe6029]

I bought Pas ce soir extra it too! Amazing- lasts forever, pricey though. Beautiful, rather sweet - rich fruits.

[@Tatiperez78]

Is Dulce Melodia unisex? Or more masculine leaning? This is on my list but I hope is not too masculine.

[@marisamountaki]

I'd say the opposite! More feminine since it's a sweet fruity perfume!

[@DHolmes419]

Lune Feline Extrait was one of my favorite niche releases of the year, but there were just so many releases. Island Lush by G&B too.

[@jenniferocampo3873]

Dolce Melodia for me. The citrus opening and gardenia blend with some powderiness dry down is heavenly. I enjoyed the BDK PAC se Soir extrait as well. Need to get my nose on Fior de Pane, great list!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Thanks for sharing!

[@funeka691]

My favourite launch for 2023 is Valaya.

[@PutsalunChhim]

Vanille Supermassive is available at Harrods website, ordered it when they have the year end sales of course based on your recommendation... Looking forwards to smelling it.

[@AirBeat-lk3pl]

My favorite was l’eau papier from diptyque! I bought it second hand and got the oil from oil perfumery it’s great!

[@sibyl333]

I love Raw Gold so much I really want to try that new one and also the Dolce Melodia sounds fantastic!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

It's so good!

[@Naturallyliz41]

Great video. Yes to your honorable mentions

[@priqq1]

I got my nose on the re-release of TF Vanile Fatale last night. Ooooo😏😏😏 it's may be my first niche pick up of 2024 when it comes out in February. Trying to cut my spending back so I can splurge on my overseas trip in the fall, but this one may be a must buy regardless😂

[@mattl7424]

[@Shadesof]

How much is it different from the older version?

[@sweetpeace5]

The original is top 10 for me so getting the re-release isn’t quite as good was disappointing. But maybe it’ll suffice 😂

[@Shadesof]

@@sweetpeace5 bummer. They no longer sell old version which I was planning to get

Hey Sebastian!!❤❤ let’s see what made the list😊

[@barbschmidt9728]

Happy new year to you!

[@simplyrowen]

When you said “Fior de Pane”, I immediately wondered if “pane” meant bread, because in Spanish bread is “pan”. I am intrigued. I’ve never smelled a “bread” inspired scent 😳

[@alli6840]

Happy New Year Sebastian!!! 😊🎉

[@AlexC-xu3qg]

Hey! What do you go for between Carioca Heart (Jusbox) and Porthole by Loumari?

[@RafaelGrigorian]

Karikia is the one that blew my mind from the mystery box, hope I can add a bottle to my collection. That entire house is very interesting.

[@kismetburroughs9192]

Great list, happy new year 😊

[@willoraha1969]

Great list! Happy new year to you too 🎉

[@shanashelbaghdadshba6446]

Hello, greetings from Baghdad, Iraq. I am one of your followers and I am very confident in your recommendations for perfumes, but I have a question regarding the Sospiro Dolce Melodia perfume. There are two versions, one in which the bottle is white and one in orange. What is the difference between them and do they have the same scent and the same performance?

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I have ordered a bottle. But without sampling the fragrance I have no way of answering this question and everyone else that has asked. You are not the only one. I know nothing about the purple bottle version. I'm sorry I can't help but I ordered and it was never delivered. Then I ordered it again and it was lost. Sorry. I don't know Dolce Melodia in the purple bottle I have never smelled it. If and when I ever end up with the purple bottle I will answer for everyone. Unfortunately I can't prevent crap from happening on a fragrance that's at the discounters and shipping is compromised!

[@shanashelbaghdadshba6446]

@@ThePerfumeGuy Hello, my question is about the difference between the white bottle and the orange bottle of Sospiro Dolce Melodia. I did not mention the purple bottle.

[@TurkiAlMohaya]

Dear Hope you are doing well, Would you please made a group of the most strong performing niche for men please.

[@ryanhuerta1024]

@ThePerfumGuy I got dolce Melodie off of Jomashop during their sale, it’s a white bottle with purple writing “dolce Melodie” it also comes in a white box with purple satin. I really can’t find anything on this version, was it just a limited release presentation with the same juice or is it a different fragrance? Please let me know

[@sweetpeace5]

Exsct same juice in special edition bottle

[@therealParisHilton]

Designers as well? Please 🙏

Happy new year 🎊 Sebastian 🎉

[@alanframboisier9492]

I'm about to blind buy "Vanille Supermassive" Sebastian, am i doing a huge mistake ? 😅

[@johnnygorena5318]

Sebastian is there a location in San Francisco that sells Rein De Saba Divine Tentation or at the moment only sold through their website? I would like to purchase 2 bottles., thanks

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I’m working on bringing it to the USA and San Francisco. If it happens I’ll announce it. But don’t forget they do offer shipping. It’s pretty convenient and fast shipping although I don’t know the price of the shipping fee if you use my code, you get the discovery set for free. Happy new year.. 😀

[@johnnygorena5318]

@@ThePerfumeGuy Hi Sebastian you are my favorite reviewer for yrs now., thank you for the quick response. What code do I use if I order from Rein De Saba website? I think I will order it today. Thanks

I absolutely adored Carmina! Wore it today layered with Loubiprince... just fantastic!

[@saherlakable]

Yes plz 🌹🙏

[@tabacarudelia8502]

I got the chance to sample around half of the fragrances from your list and I still have to get my nose on Dolce melodia, but from the rest I enjoyed the ones from Amouage and Sora Dora. I've also liked Deriva and Aridal and maybe some more, but I can't remember. Thank you for the video!

[@SmellsAddicted]

If you want to smell like Vick's Vape-O-Rub, why not just buy it? 😂 I'm only joking of course. Thanks Sebastian for a great, informative video 😄👍

[@oualid352]

Parfums d'Empire - Ruade

[@Legend_Face]

Jubilation 40 is amazing! I’ll try my hardest not to fly through my bottle

[@natalyabaranova6827]

Would definitely be interested in honorable mentions

[@TABZDILLINGER]

Well, there's my most appreciated fragrance of this year, which was Althair by Parfums De Marly that I didn't see making this list.

[@1973833]

I have a predicition of a 100 new niche brands in 2024.,and they"re all going to make a profit, selling a hundreds of bottles at high prices.

[@Gotlev6]

Jubilation 40 imho is not worth the price. The eau de parfum will do it for a lot less money.

[@kadaj7269]

Tobacco honey was my most disappointing fragrance from2023, I couldn’t smell any tobacco just pure cloying honey. My favorites this year were SHL777 God of Fire, PDM Althair, and Voyage A Paris from. FDB. Cheers.

[@ChescoYT]

Jubilation 40 is so watered down that it disappears in 15 mins! SHAME!
