I Found A HYPED Niche Fragrance At TJ Maxx! | Rack Store Fragrance Haul

[@nunchucknads3644]

Another banger vid. That TJ Maxx is just insane with the primo selection. Unreal. Here in NYC there are several and sometimes they have niche surprises but not often. You should def keep returning to your TJ every so often to see if it has more surprises. Mine has ok gummy worms.

[@gerardgeorge]

😂😂😂 love it. I’m pinning this comment!

[@BlenKingzly]

seriously, your tj maxx videos are like stores in an alternate universe, the ones in my town are ALL bricks on shelf, never found anything remotely near what you come up on, props.

[@gerardgeorge]

Hahaha I feel you man. It depends on the store. Some of my stores are all bricks too. Thanks man!

That TJ MAXX was out of control! I have a travel sprayer of African Leather, I'm still undecided if I'm going to get a full bottle or not. It's fantastic, but I think I have quite a few things ahead of it.

[@gerardgeorge]

Hahaha right!? I know how you feel Danny too much to buy!

[@ucantfixstupid7443]

Hey Gerard. You are very lucky with the selection at your stores. I don't see anything close to that until the Xmas stock arrives.And even then,it is a hit or miss. You had that Dunhill Custom in your hand. That is one I really like. The scent is really nice but the performance leaves something to be desired. Maybe 4 to 5 hours on a good day. Thanks for the video and happy hunting.

[@gerardgeorge]

Yes I also heard it’s similar to dirty English from Juicy Couture.

[@houseadams4841]

You might like that Dunhill Custom… It’s a cheapie… But for $20… Warm, sweet, slightly woody/smoky. Not bad at all..

[@gerardgeorge]

I bet I would. I’ve heard some compare it to dirty English which known and love.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Great find Gerard! It’s definitely worth browsing those racks now and then.

Exactly why I like to get the first reaction! Thanks Brian 🙏🏼

[@terrygalloway7874]

Good find! One thing I can say is check before you leave the store, One day I picked up what I thought was Mancera red tobacco it ended up being a return and someone swapped it with a cheap fragrance. I couldn’t tell until they got the plastic security case off and I went to my car to give it a go. I was pretty ticked

[@gerardgeorge]

Happened to me as well Terry! Only there were bricks inside the box!

I was in Boston on vacation last week and had to stop in your Marshalls and TJ Maxx on Washington St. while we were walking the Freedom Trail. Didn't buy anything, but was fun to visit your stomping grounds.

[@gerardgeorge]

Yes! That’s amazing Mark. I hope you guys had a great stay!

[@cubs531]

@@gerardgeorge The highlights were touring the USS Constitution and catching the last game of the season at Fenway. It was part of a larger New England trip to see the fall leaves, so I only had a day in Boston. I'd like to go back sometime though. As for fragrances, I had some decants of Mancera Holidays that I put in my travel bag. Although it can lean feminine, I love the coconut tropical vibe, and performance is stellar. I thought it would be the perfect scent for walking the beaches and rocky shores of Maine and Rhode Island, even though the temps were not so tropical being in the 60s. Still, I found it to work great and I wore it several times so I created a scent memory with it. Now when I wear it back home, I can remember the great times I had in New England.

[@gerardgeorge]

@@cubs531 I can definitely see that Mark great pick!

Nice vid, Gerard. I picked up Boss Selection myself a few months back, it's a nice, inoffensive scent 👌🏻

I can see that being the case Bryan nothing challenging about this one for sure.

[@basman2006]

I just recently had the chance to try a lot of niche scents. Things youtubers always talk about. It was a good day but only a few i would consider purchasing. African leather was one i got to try but it isn't the type of scent i'm looking for right now

[@gerardgeorge]

I understand Bas. Sampling and trying things is key!

[@houseadams4841]

Most Memo leather accords are supporting notes… Not so much the main player. But they work leather into just about everything.. in varying degrees. I’ve sampled many.. all nice. But African And Russian Leather were the only two I wanted full bottles of. Haven’t pulled the trigger on the African yet… Russian is like a brisk piney Fougere… Love it.

[@gerardgeorge]

Russian leather has been on my list for awhile. I need to grab it!

[@pablox3273]

Great find! African Leather is my favorite out of the handful from the Memo leather line I've tried (several I haven't sampled yet)...ended up buying a 15 mL decant a while back.
