A Very Special Top 10 Fragrances For the Summer (2018)

[@AGentlemansJourney77]

Justin, I hope you do come back one day. I can tell from your videos that you're a very humble and genuine human being. I can understand where you are coming from but we all hope you make it back to the tube. I wish we were able to meet a few weeks ago but hopefully one day. If you are ever in Toronto, you have a place to stay with me, brother. Much love and respect to you. All the best my friend.

Minimalism has been around for centuries . The was the 60's NYC minimalist . I like minimalist architecture in buildings simply because I like lines. I like modern pottery designs like Russel Wright that can be placed on some of the minimalist tables. That said, everything goes in cycles. There's more millionaires out there today, ans the millennial's are part of that. They love their travel, and their ease at home. That said though, they also have more time to save . This is just a thought .Right now you can buy some of the most gorgeous antique furniture for next to nothing. Baby boomers are in RV's and the older retired are moving into these wonderful coop homes. When nobody wants it, and it's good , that's when you have to take a look at these items/things. If you're younger, and you got time, this is something you should think about. Think of this. Nobody wanted Mexican House Jewelry , for it was looked down upon as road side jewelry . Now look at some of those Taxco pieces. Something went for Victorian and even Edwardian . Christ you can't even get real Edwardian Jewelry anymore . Most of the good stuff is in museums . Victorian yes it's still out there , but try and find a nice Victorian Mourning piece. I could kick myself in the ass with that one. No, you don't have to be obsessive and own every single one of everything. That's why forced collectibles did so well , and yes having a good spiritual side is important, for it tends to fill the holes, but don't dislike aspects of culture and art because people think that's the proper way to happiness . Find that balance, because there's people like me who will swoop down and in and buy up what you believe is just materialism . When everyone goes over to one side of the boat to look over at what everyone is looking at, it might prove prudent to go over and look at the same sea with a different point of view. _Final thought though_ . *Keeping up with the Jones can cause lots of financial damage* .

[@GentsScents]

Thanks for keeping it fresh man. I understand the feeling of being jaded and not feeling super motivated to do videos. I've enjoyed your content and hope that taking a break takes a load off your shoulders. If you decide to ever come back I'll look forward to that and if you don't I'll appreciate the time you put into your videos to put quality stuff out there. You've always been a good guy, I hope for all the best to you.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Ashton. Thank you. You've been the man since day one. Its truly been a pleasure. I'll be keeping an eye on your awesome channel. All the best to you.

[@demirawling]

Justin! I admire your authenticity...I really hope that you come back, I'll watch any content you make, you've always got my love and support 100% 😊 I understand needing to take a break so take time for yourself and your supporters will be waiting for you when the time is right ❤️ Lots of love to you!

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you, Demi. I truly appreciate that. Keep making great content as you do, and keep being yourself. All the best to you. 🙏🏾

[@justiceanthony4802]

Demi Rawling Pls send him a full bottle of Pacific Rock Moss as a farewell gift. Cheers!

[@Christian3174]

You two should make babies. But in all seriousness, love both of your work/content. Inspired me to start my own collection. Always a fan xx

[@ChaosFragrances]

I wish you the best brother. You're one of the most chill reviewers in the community. I think a lot of us could benefit from taking a step back and regrouping for a while, a lot of pressure is put on yourself when you start reviewing and have to meet certain expectations. All the best man.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thanks Dallas. Really appreciate that. All the best to you, I'll be keeping an eye on your channel.

[@BowTieFragranceGuy]

Sad day in the fragrance community!!!! You're one of the most humble dudes in the frag com.....(and that's rare)always giving very true honest critiques but most importantly for a guy like myself that was just starting out...very encouraging!!! Not feeling like you were too "big" to communicate with or answer questions for folks like myself and making me feel welcomed! Seems like some of these guys start getting "popular" and their subscribers and others in the community become "unimportant." So you will truly be missed bro! I wish you the best of luck and i pray that life's journey eventually leads you back here! Peace!

[@stayfreshproductions]

Man. Thank you brotha. I really appreciate your support and encouragement of my channel, and the growth that is happening in yours. Keep up the great work and I'll be keeping any eye out. All the best bro.

[@JoyAmin666]

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you, Joy. I'm sorry for having to leave. Please keep making great content, I watch all of your videos.

[@JoyAmin666]

Less is more you are right. „Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.“ ‭‭John‬ ‭14:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬ bible. Jesus loves you, give him your live. God bless you

[@joshthibs123]

Until we meet on the other side my friend. You’re vibe, and what you bring to the community will sorely be missed. The miles davis of the fragrance game, eclectic, smooth, free thinking.... much love. Enjoy your journey and remember I’m always there for a lending ear my friend!!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Sorry to hear the news Brother. Monday's just won't be the same. You wouldn't be making this choice if it wasn't the right thing to do. I wish you well with your move and future ventures. Peace ✌

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you for everything, Chris. I truly appreciate your support, and the work that you do with your videos. I'll be keeping an eye on your channel. All the best to you.

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

Always loved you and your content. You will be missed.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you, Carlos. I hope to be back someday soon. I’ll be keeping an eye on your channel. :)

[@haruyamagucci4622]

_WHY? I was just starting to fall in LOVE with this channel._

[@Xsoul1000]

Please come back Justin. You are very good at doing this. Take your time. No need to spend so much. Maybe just impressions.

[@jasondudek3322]

I appreciate why you feel the need for a break. I usually don't comment on any videos, but felt the need this time. You're one of the best reviewers in this community. You provide great content, plain and simple. Thanks for all that you've done for the frag comm and I really hope to see you back at some point.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you for being with me on this journey, Jason, and for the kind words! I hope to be back sometime.

[@ScentedMoments]

Damn... I'm really sad to see you leave KZbin... You came through a long way. I am and will always be a proud subscriber to your channel. You brought a fresh air to the Community with this jazzy, smooth and chill vibe with that annoyingly enchanting radio voice (like, how do you do that?!). Either way, I fully respect that option and it just shows how genuine you are! Really hope to see you soon and I just wish you the very best of luck!

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you for everything, João! I truly appreciate all of your support during my time making videos. I'll be in touch with you on Instagram!

[@erickjurado73]

Good to know that you continued created videos and that this phase already passed. Your videos are really smooth so keep it rolling. Greetings from Mexico.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you Erick!

[@TheRealMcP]

Awww man!!! I really look forward to your videos and will miss your calming, positive attitude. All the best, and hopefully we’ll see you back soon to conquer the 10K subscriber mark. Take care of yourself.

[@jasonk12345]

good luck with whatever the future holds for you bro. enjoyed watching your videos and man, when that song popped up near the end, i gotta admit... sorta got the feels. thanks for all the work you put into your channel. see ya!

[@collinjm2863]

Godspeed sir! Been a joy tuning in to your channel. Best of luck to you and all your future adventures

[@stevenveganightowl12]

Thank you for being you, authentic, a true honest soul here on KZbin, be well Mr. Copeland and I hope you can continue hopefully down the line to comeback for your great reviews amigo!

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you for your encouragement, Steven!

[@RustyCohle]

Don't try to compete with the obsessive collectors. Minimalism is a great philosophy and it still can be congruent with reviewing fragrances. Enjoy your break!

[@RustyCohle]

I'm trying to resist blind buying Artisan Pure but everyone is hyping it....hmmm

[@angarcm23]

tonyk25 I wouldn’t recommend blind buy. I suggest you to go to a Macy’s, Sephora, Dillard’s, Belk, and try it out there. The citrus can be a little too sharp, I personally didn’t like it so much and I wanted to blind buy it too!

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thanks, Tony! :D

[@JohmathanBSwift]

Great comment . Lot's of truths in there .

[@schm0sbyy]

tonky25 I don't suggest blind buying it either. I almost bought one because of the hype but I decided to try it first in my local mall and even then, I almost bought it. Personally, the opening is what I like best about Artisan Pure because it smells fresh and breezy but the dry down smells like laundry detergent that pierces through my nose and I didn't like that. Ended up not buying it lol.

[@MrSillage]

Brother, as sad as this was to hear, I support your decision 100%. Always do what's best for you my friend and we'll be here for you if you do decide and you know I'll still be even if you don't. All the best to you, brother!🙏

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you for everything Chris! Truly. You are awesome. I'll be keeping an eye on your the growth of your channel.

[@MrSillage]

J Copeland and I'll be keeping an eye on your personal growth and journey on FB! Wishing you all the best things that this world has to offer, my friend! Stay Fresh, brother😉

[@dr.jk9937]

Great video J! It's good to realize your passion and lane. Move where you feel led. Have a great journey. Artisan Pure, Fico De Malfi Ferrari Bright Neroli, Aventus, Royal Oud, Legend Spirit , Prada Luna Rossa Carbon. Have a great summer!

[@stayfreshproductions]

Some fantastic picks there. Thanks bro. Best to you!

[@NathanDoyle11]

Damn dude, that was so unexpected! Your videos will truly be missed, you’re actually one of only 3 reviewers that I still watch. All the best for the future man. Hope to still see you around in the Facebook groups ✌🏼

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you Nathan. Really appreciate you bro. I was actually booted off of FB a few weeks ago (long story), but thank you nonetheless.

[@arjun666ism]

Wish you good luck brother. And thank you for recommending DnG Exotic Leather. I own 7 of them now

[@unstoppable255]

Keep it up man, just from watching your videos, i really see a genuine and honest guy. All these quick cuts and over excessive colourful titles that most KZbinrs use doesn't always make a video better, its about being yourself and enjoying the way you present what you love

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thanks, Alden. If you're referring to the cuts in my video, thats simply to prevent it from being 30 minutes long. :P

[@unstoppable255]

Oh yeah i know the cuts are made to shorten the video as well as making it have a more smoother transition! You are doing great though don't worry! :D

[@anthonywalker7510]

Justin - Wishing you all the best where ever the journey of life takes you. Thank you for sharing your knowedge, enthusiasm and graciousness. You will be missed!

[@poppabear39]

Justin i really appreciate your time your views on the scents. Being a musician myself, your taste in background music. Brother your openess and honesty is and was really refreshing. I got into the game late and your take helped. You will be missed sir. I have your vids though. So God be with you on your new chapter in life...and thank you.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you brotha. Really appreciate your support, and I'm glad I could help in some way. All the best to you.

[@redd2147]

Maybe do a final video of "My best of the best, final fragrances that will stay".It can be more than 10 and doesn't matter if they're mix niche, designer and weather. Just a suggestion. Good luck to your future endeavours and home.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Haha. We'll see. Thanks Red. :)

[@MrBlpete]

Damn! I really enjoy your videos. You do an awesome job breaking down and analysing each fragrance and you have the perfect demeanor and a very calming voice that adds to the ambiance. Good luck to you, hope to see you back brother!

[@blackpearl6686]

Love this channel man, you’ve always been honest, super chill, and genuine with your reviews, and you’re a fellow musician so that’s dope as well! I wish Nothing but the best for you man. ✊🏿

[@WifEyesWideShut]

Hey Justin, I just wanted to start by saying thank you for all of your videos. I have always enjoyed seeing your videos whenever I came across them (even if I already watched it). I learned a lot about the different scents and learning about notes and everything associated with fragrance. Plus the lists you would compile together definitely had a part in a few of my fragrance buys so thank you for those lists. You are not just another reviewer. I hold you in high regards to some of my favorite fragrance reviewers and I truly mean that. Got to say I was shocked and saddened to hear from Chris that you are taking a break. I think it takes a lot of courage to step back and analyze how and where you are in life. What you are doing is smart, and not selfish by any means necessary. You are doing what some of us could never really admit to. We all know this hobby is expensive and at times it gets the best of us. I wish this hobby wasn't but sometimes it's the price we pay to enjoy a little part of life. It's unfortunate that you moving has partially affected your love and passion for fragrance, but I certainly hope the spark does not die out completely. I would love to see you return, but even if you don't return to fragrance, perhaps there is another part of your life you would be willing to share with us. I'd hate to see you gone from this platform forever, but I understand that breaks are needed from time to time and sometimes indefinitely. But no matter what, I hope you can take the positive and fun times you have had thus far (it's only the beginning) and fuel that into your attitude right now in your life. I'll miss you. Take care of yourself. Good luck with your move. All the best. From Canada, Alex

[@lindastevens6926]

I've gone through and I'm going through the ups and downs of this hobby. I'll have months where I hardly buy something then months I buy 25 bottles. I built my first collection and gave and sold it away. Then when I came back I just bought bottles I love and back ups because I hate reformulations. But I have a guilty feeling inside like I shouldn't have done that. I really like how you're smooth and soft spoken and hope life takes you down the right path and you find what you're searching for.☮

[@kevinhayden9030]

It’s crazy that your leaving... you ARE my favorite reviewer. Second I literally had Milléseme Imperial in my hand when you said it’s your favorite for summer. CRAZY. You are the best Sir. Truly.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you, Kevin! Really appreciate you man! All the best to you. Sounds like you'll be smelling fresh out there.

[@MrShibbbs]

Man! I just subscribed and got started,was loving the new experience and the way you presented the whole show,after seeing a lot of your other counterparts,you were like a fresh breath of air.Good luck to you brother,here is wishing you good luck in all ur endeavors.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you for watching Mohammed. This is actually an old video--I'm back to making regular content now. :)

[@tom_schroeder]

Justin, I've enjoyed watching your channel. I especially enjoy your outlook on life, and your willingness to put some pursuits on hold to reassess your directions and where you want to go. You are a total class act when it comes to this, and your honesty and vulnerability in sharing that you feel you've been going through the motions and can do better are so admirable and inspiring to others, even if you feel off about your level of performance. I enjoy watching your channel not always just to gain fragrance information, but really, to be exposed to you and your experiences. Your artistic approach to just about everything is refreshing. If and when you resume making videos, I will certainly want to tune in and find out how things are going with you. Best of luck in your move and the changes on your horizon.

[@mohtown8751]

I really appreciate your opinions and content you brought to your videos! I’m not sure what I’ll be wearing this summer but I’m sure I’ll have a rotation of maybe 4. Good luck to you going forward and I hope you come back, either with a frag or just an update on where you are at in your journey video!

[@serhanhc]

I've actually quit my job a few weeks ago, because I felt I needed a career change so I totally get where you coming from. I'm really glad for you for taking a stance, change is always good. Stay fresh bro!

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you bro! All the best to you on your change of direction as well!

[@mexicano10096]

Good luck on your new projects brother, and thanks for all of your reviews that help me to select some of my awesome frags. Peace!

As you take a break may you find peace and clarity about your purpose. Our Heavenly Father loves you.

[@WillieKnight]

Good luck bro! I really enjoyed your videos, helped me learn a lot about fragrances. You had some of the coolest videos on KZbin, your vibe is super cool.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thanks Willie! Glad I could help.

[@MDCigan]

Good luck to you with the move, and best wishes in your future endeavors. You were one of my favorite reviewers and I'll miss your channel!

Thanks for all the support you've shown thus far bro. I hope to be back someday soon.

[@BestBrandsPerfume]

I have never tried special blend edition Acqua di Gio thanks for the awesome video and tips

[@merope100]

You have close to 10,000 subscribers and it is for a reason. You are such a great personality that everyone can relate to and are so good at what you do on youtube! I still remember that video you did on matching outfits to fragrance and thought it was super creative! You will be missed while you are away and hopefully you'll be back! The fragrance community will definitly miss you!

[@jamesalbright1193]

I'm a recent subscriber and new to the fragrance community. One of the first videos of yours that I watched was fragrances that make me smile. I connected with that because that's what this should all be about. You will be missed, but chase those things that make you smile. Your authenticity and strength of character will get you there.

[@jgbuzwell]

Blessings and Prosperity in your new ventures, been a sub for a minute and impression videos just took a loss with your decision to take a break. With the hope of your return, as I do think your humble honesty will be missed by many, this decision is all about moving forward and I respect anyone's conscious recognition of prioritizing their life. Thank you for sharing your insights and your #1 list spot I am sure to be sporting as well...Blessings Man

[@vixuserid5518]

Once I was exposed to you & your channel I subscribed w/in a week. Thank you for your nose, maturity, suave verbal style, and deep deep soothing voice. At least for this short duration as your subscriber I have learned a lot from you. I don't wish that you come back. Rather, I wish that you find what warms your heart. If that be fregrance reviewing/sharing then count me in again 8D

[@oscar1234380]

Great video and fantastic selection as always, really enjoy your channel I wish you the best in you new plans, maybe when you finish everything you’ll come back, i totally agree with you its best to have some fragances that you love instead of having a lot of bottles that cost a lot of money. The best for you my friend

[@miguelalcacio1931]

Best wishes. I got into your reviews kind of late, but have been going through all your old videos. I can totally relate to what you're going through. Congrats and good luck on your journey.

[@PostLikeHakeem]

Peace Mr. Copeland. I appreciate you sharing your perspective on fragrance. You always had a unquie taste and viewpoint. I'm feeling you on cutting the collection down to just what you love.

[@nononscents826]

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you Garry. Please keep up the great videos. I'll be keeping an eye out. I dug your summer designer list.

[@redbull7789]

You are awesome Justin! I will miss watching your videos! You have honestly became one of my favorite youtubers to watch! hopefully we will all be able to see more videos of yours soon, good luck on your journey man!

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thanks man! Really appreciate that! All the best to you.

[@southernsillage3327]

Enjoy your videos man, and I totally understand where your coming from. I have about 200 bottles right now that I’ve acquired over the past three years and I’ve been debating on liquidating down to about 20 that’s I actually use. For me it’s just overwhelming to look at in the morning when trying to decide on a sotd. Anyway, hope to see you back soon and good luck on your journey across the country bro.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you bro. I totally feel you. Kudos to those who can manage a large collection, but that just ain't me. All the best to you.

[@mrseanmac727]

Just found your channel. I love the transparency and honesty that you share. I have liked, subscribed and clicked on the notification bell in order to prepare for your triumphant return. Until then, good luck bro

Thank you brotha!

[@mtonyjr4176]

Wow! Wasn't expecting this but the best way to measure someone is by their humility. From what I've seen, you've always displayed that whether good, bad, or indifferent. In this microwave society of social media and " hey! look at me", people like yourself always balance it out. Best of luck to you brotha and continue to be great.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Jack, thank you. Really appreciate that man. All the best to you.

[@MannysFragrances]

Justin , I'm a Mexican fragrance reviewer in the process of growing my chanel with 1.8K subs to the day , I have followed your channel almost from the very first day you started and I have enjoyed your content and your humble attitude , whatever your issues are try to stay focused on the most important things in your life and if that includes not to make videos anymore well at least you left us with some legacy for us frag reviewers to take as an example........Best wishes on your new endeavor or whatever it is that you are doing and do not hesitate to come back if you feel the itch............have a good one Justin !!

[@mgcustodio]

I stumbled upon you just a few days ago. You have very good, honest-to-goodness content and i appreciate the fragrance community in youtube for helping beginner enthusiasts find their way around the confusing world of fragrance. I have decants of perfumes to see what i like. For summer on a tropical country, i realized i still like sweet and floral scents. I'm rotating La Vie est Belle, D&G Light Blue Intense, and Miss Dior Blooming. Hope to see you again on youtube next time!

[@stayfreshproductions]

Hi Michelle. Thank you so much for stopping by, and for your very kind words. I'm glad I could be of some help. Those are some beautiful picks you have for the summer hear. All the best to you!

[@DiddyYoung23]

Sad to hear this brother, but I totally understand what you're going through!! Find yourself and that passion you had for fragrances and come back stronger... I know you will be back, because the love and passion you have for fragrances is genuine.See you soon brother!

[@nrosenbeck3457]

Been a subscriber since about ~250 and Man, it’s been great to see you grow and for me to grow with you. I believe I’ve said it before but I’m so glad you finally fell in love with original vetiver over mugler cologne, it was a long time coming haha, looking forward to your return 👏🏻👋

[@briang6397]

Damn this vid got me emotional, especially when your signature background song started playing at the end... Sad to see one of my favorite youtubers go. We all wish you the best with moving out of chicago, and I hope to see you back on youtube sometime!

[@maduromojo]

Hopefully you'll find your way back here. I've enjoyed your chill vibe and you've turned me on to some fragrances through your enthusiasm. Thank you and good luck with the transition. We'll be waiting for your return. ;)

[@tiredoffools8929]

Justin.. Your personality with be SORELY missed brother. I went on vacation and came back to find this video. Man this was tough. I appreciate your honesty with your feelings, and of course we will all support you in your decision. I am hoping you come back even if to just straight up vlog on your life experiences. I always valued your opinions of Frags, but more importantly it was really about you and your style. As Demi has already said, if and when you return we'll be waiting. All the Best.

[@chrischattaway6048]

Many thanks for the excellent reviews. You have been one the the best reviewers on here and will be missed. Good luck and all the best for the future

Thank you, Chris. All the best to you.

[@chitownedc2137]

Justin, I just recently sub'd to your channel because I enjoyed your sincerity, humbleness and genuine personality that I felt privileged in watching thru your videos. You are a great reviewer. Content is top notch. But we all find ourselves at the crossroads at times and this might be your time. Take our comments about coming back like a grain of salt and instead find what you're truly searching for. Good luck in your future endeavors and God Bless. Whatever you plan on doing I'm sure its for the best for you. KZbin will always be here (hopefully).

[@stayfreshproductions]

Man, thank you for the thoughtful comment. I really appreciate that. All the best to you.

[@jarrodalldredge1574]

First time commenting but ive watched many of your reviews over last 5 months and in my eyes one of the best reviewers in the game. I love the style you bring humility,class, and a very gentleman like approach and what i think the fragrance community needs more of. Super cool dude with a quiet confidence that makes people listen not bc they have to but bc they want to. Best of luck you will be missed.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Jarrod, thank you. Really appreciate your kind and sincere words. All the best to you.

[@thescentcloud]

Really enjoyed your contributions to the community mane! Also, Fico di Amalfi and Artisan Pure are definitely on my summer list. Best wishes playboy!

Sad to see you go bro you were definitely one of my fav reviewers who was always positive,happy, & always had a smile. It’s sad to see this happen but it’s all in God’s hand. Also you are definitely one of the guys who got me into fragrances I hope you come back because the frag com without you definitely won’t feel the same 🙏🏽 hope all is well & stay blessed my brotha

[@jeffsmallwood4636]

I love your perspective on fragrances! Your positive attitude is uplifting! Sounds like you're prioritizing your life and making some turning points that are possibly needed. I hope you still have your woman that was sharing your enthusiasm for the fragrance world. I believe some great things are heading your way so don't give up! Stay strong and keep smiling!!

[@urbanunity1113]

I only wish you a good journey brother... Thank your for your honesty in reviewing fragrances. I've learned a lot from your channel and really got some serious knowledge of how, when and where to wear fragrances. It's actually enhanced my life and I'm sure others as well in a positive way. Thank you again for your professional input and character in this game. Enjoy the next chapter wherever it takes you good brother... Peace & blessings

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you brotha. I'm simply glad that I could help in some way. All the best to you.

[@azeezjee2286]

Justin, in my opinion, you are one of the most honest reviewer, i always admire your work, I respect your decision but i am gonna missing you, one last suggestion, kindly make a video of your last 25 fragrances if you can. Best of luck for you future endeavours.

I hear ya man. I recently stepped back and looked at the 120+ bottles and just as many samples (if not more) that I've accumlated over 10yrs and just went "wow...". Fragrance expenses add up over time but it's just such a fun passion. Just curious, where do you have the best luck selling your bottles? Facebook groups? eBay? Other? Best of luck with your future endeavors man. Always liked your content and hope to see you back someday.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you Ron. Really appreciate the sincerity. I've sold many of my bottles via the FB fragrance groups and even Instagram. All the best to you.

[@kevinbistre3002]

You will always be the Lando, of Fragrance channels. It was a fun ride sir!

[@sjerquinn]

Justin, I just want to say thank you. Thanks for the content/reviews and for being an example of how to stay even keeled in a community that has so many ups and downs. I also want to thank you again for helping me in my journey. The giveaway that I was so fortunate enough to win is the highlight of my journey so far. Good luck with all that you do. Hope to see you again someday.

[@ifishares]

[@erroljoe]

[@TakeCareMan]

I will miss your vids. I appreciate your love of the J Varvatos frags. Minimalism is indeed a virtue - in all areas of life. Best wishes and thanks for the videos!

[@FragranceEmpire]

Justin, you are truly inspirational always remaining humble which is what we need so much in the frag-comm industry today! You and AGentlemansJourney are the ones who got me into doing fragrance reviews on my you tube channel or trying LOL. I wish you nothing but the very best in your endeavors, sucks to see the good guys go even if its a small break but we all need it sometime! You'll be missed!

[@danielmeron6689]

You're one of the Classiest Reviewers on KZbin Bro... Hope you enjoy your break, and would Love to see you come back someday! Good Luck Brother!

[@GALLEN-vf7uy]

DUDE !!! You got some MADD Skills on that trumpet !!! Just saw your 3000 dollar , 1st place performance at the National Trumpet Championship 2017. Watched 3 or 4 of your performances. You got one hell of a future with that horn in your hand...SO, don't look back. Whatever or however you use your talent...GOOD LUCK

[@schm0sbyy]

Man, you made a lot of sense on your speech late in this video. I'm kind of thinking the same thing. I was never the kind of person to buy things that I don't need so starting this hobby makes me feel empty and satisfied at the same time. Fortunately, I only have 4 full bottles as of now and a couple of 10mL decants and I buy only the fragrances that I really enjoy and see myself wearing thoroughly. It's tough to see collectors/enthusiasts sell their perfumes for the reason same as yours. It makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong lol. Anyway, I wish you all the best and even though you are trying to limit your collection, I hope you still continue to make videos because I don't know why but your videos are soothing. :)

[@angarcm23]

Ah crap. Man, I really really will miss you. You’re such an honest, humble and accurate reviewer. And you have your unique style too. I enjoy so much watching your videos and you leaving KZbin is just... well. You will be missed a lot J. Just make sure you be happy, above everything! And may the best come to you man. See you!

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you, Angel! Really appreciate the kindness brother. I hope to be back someday. All the best to you.

[@misterelom]

Wishing you the best brother. Will be sad to see you go but you have to do what you feel is best for you. Hope you decide to come back.

[@iconz255]

Cheers man. All the best for your future projects. Do come back when you feel like doing so. Many people will be happy to see you. And don't worry you'll find more fragrances to collect along the way. Collection will grow bigger trust me ;)
