The Leftover Fragrance Collection.. keep or give away? Part 1

[@justaddlight]

Good to see that you have one of the older Fahrenheit formulations too. But whaaaaa, you're letting LIDGE go? The one that your friends loved to cop sprays of in your old apartment? 😄 I remember those days. That'll be a heavily covetted gem Cody. 💛🖤 Your generosity rivels your legacy my friend.

[@dracdoc]

Hey man, thanks for the kind words! but wow.. I had forgotten about that but your right.. i had a couple of friends come and spray LIDGE on at my old place in Manhattan. Man what memories!

[@purplemartin6952]

I’m glad you’re back! I enjoyed a lot of your old reviews - found a lot of them to be spot on when I have had a chance to smell the same frags. I’m looking forward to how your collection evolves. I am struggling gravitating toward cold weather scents while living in the South, but there is no way I would give up 24 Gold or its congeners.

Allure Eau Extreme is a great one too!

Nice to see you back doing videos Cody. Watching your videos 9? 8? years ago started my interest in fragrance after I bought a bottle of La Nuit de L’Homme because of your suggestion. Had that original for long time. Wish I never got rid of it.

[@RabidStacker]

Sorry man, that really sucks this happened to you. I've just started collecting fragrances about 2 months ago, I only have about $2500 into my fragrances and I be pissed if I lost so much. I do understand giving away the cold weather fragrances as I live in Michigan but I lived in Florida years ago and I know half of my fragrances wouldn't fly down there. I just subscribed because I think it'll be cool watching and getting tips on your new journey.✌

May I please have the Guerlain "L'Instant de Guerlain"? I wish that I could afford a bottle of it, but I've been having to recover from almost having had a stroke so I can't work. I would love to have it in my collection. Either way, take care and have a good spring season. Also, if/when you get rid of Mancera "Cedrat Boise", any of the Chanels, or any of the Masque Milanos, then I'd love to have them. I'm sorry to be such a beggar, and while being a new subscriber to your channel.

[@czito]

Yeah living in florida you will need more fresh frags and spring and fall type scents. Not too many winter type heavy frags.

[@shawny_21]

Been watching you for about 10 years now when I was just 15 years old with only 4 bottles in my collection. It sucks how you lost those 15K worth of frags, I’ve probably seen them in your videos over years & trust me when I say if you’ve got a review of it I’m watching it before I purchase. It feels weird to me that you’re just giving away bottles, even hard to find expensive “gems.” A very kind gesture but when I was younger watching you I just wanted to have a room with 1000 bottles one day. I’m starting to get it though because over the years im now at 450+ bottles in my collection & honestly it’s just too much. It takes a lot to break the addiction of collecting & you keeping only what you truly love & parting ways with the rest is a realization I think all big collectors will come to one day. Much respect & happy to see you doing videos again.

[@dracdoc]

Appreciate the kind words!

[@BBrown-km5mi]

@@dracdoc glad to see u back, sorry to hear about what happened but I'm happy ur getting things back on track. I love LIDGE but that particular bottle is extremely hard to find, but when u do find it, someone is selling it at a ridiculous price, I would be ecstatic to receive LIDGE off ur hands

[@atlantacabil]

Cody, once you figure out a way to give those fragrances away i would like to try Sublime Musk. Good to see you back. I would really be upset had I lost my top shelf fragrances especially Bergamot 22

[@ANGRY2MATO]

Cody, words couldn’t describe the level of devastation I woulda felt losing those top shelf scents. Really hope we don’t lose you in the community!! Breaks my heart you’re giving away l'instant de guerlain extreme edp. In NY I stay putting that bad boy to use in the colder months lol.

[@FragrancewithSteve]

My friend I saw your video a few months ago announcing the move and I think I even congratulated on that decision. I’m sure I would’ve done the same thing. So sorry to hear about losing the premiums. You’re absolutely right it’s not the end of the world but I definitely feel you. I’ve recently lost a number of fragrances myself also because of moving to another place. Really clueless why they’re gone. Anyway, I’m on a break of making videos for a long time now. Both because of personal reasons and also because I was getting bored in collecting. I will gradually trim down my collection as well as there’s no point in keeping stuff that collects dust. I’m interested to see up next what will be kept for you to enjoy and wish you all the best in rebuilding a collection that is big enough to fill your heart with joy but small enough to have them move around in the rotation!

[@ronnelson1979]

I really enjoy Allure Homme Sport, one of the few scents I have 2 bottles of.

[@demonwares]

Horde logo eh? How do you even find time for an MMO. Great to have you back. Can't believe you're not keeping l instant de Guerlain, I smelled it at an airport and loved it but was never able to find black border bottle ever again so I've never had it.

[@dracdoc]

MMO's are my other passion! Been playing WoW off and on since Beta. I'm currently in FFXIV

Try Fahrenheit and Burberry London in the Florida heat. You'll be surprised how nice they are IMHO.

I can't wait to try London, I definitely feel you on Fahrenheit though.. I've been using the Aqua version like crazy here and its been great!

[@kylekarnes4652]

[@JohmathanBSwift]

Cody, do you know that Blackrock bought Creed? Maybe sample the newer Creeds first. You can find the 19's for next to nothing, but 2016 to 2014 are up there in price. There might be a reason for that. You're LIDGE is up there in price too Cody. I don't have LIDGE, but I do have LIDG in the older bottle. People are asking absurd prices for that also.

[@dracdoc]

I had no idea Blackrock bought Creed. Hmm.. I'll have to read more into that. Good to know on the general info though, I'll check it out as I repurchase my collection. LIDGE I'm giving away (Already sending to a subscriber here). I've never really sold my fragrances.. Out of the 150 bottles or so I've let go.. i've only sold maybe 10 or 15 of them, I've given the rest away. While I cherish my frags its more important for somebody else to enjoy them than for me to get monetary value on them.. in many cases for me its simply priceless

Hey man I watched the video about you losing your fragrances and that must have felt like a gut punch. I'm new to your channel and don't know much about what you post but you seem like a really genuine person. I am a sophomore in high school and am just now getting into fragrance. I've been trying to save up for Mancera Cedrat Boise because I got a sample of it and fell in love with the scent. If you decide to give it away let me know.

[@louiscaeiroramos8051]

Cartier Roadstar was my first love. Also had the Aftershave. I finish my 100 ML bottle in 2015 and I replaced it about 2 years later. But once I used for the first time again, I didn't like it. I was puzzled. It was completely different that I remembered. I don't like my L' Instant de Guerlain EDP either. Platinum Egoist is very much like Calvin Klein Eternity. I don't like Fougeres anymore. Cedrat Boise, I never use mine. I guess I don't have a need for Aventus either. Chanel Allure, I don't wear often myself. Allure Homme Sport for me is average, while Eau Extreme is my no. 1 fragrance. Ever since X-mas 2013. Ilove Edition Blanche too.
