just for the record, TF Noir in the video is EDP - EDT version has a white/transparent bottle

you're a legend mate, I'm so happy you're so active lately.

[@IYHuckleberry]

Love that someone with your range of knowledge and experience with fragrances isn't afraid to put Tommy in this list. It's a classic that I can't imagine anyone not liking.

[@ricardojmestre]

Me too! No niche snobbery 👍🏼

[@jimmymcwatters4182]

So I notice you're more into sweet fragrances and rightfully so if you're from Scotland. I live in Costa Rica so the weather here is a little warmer so I'm into fresh fragrances. My top 10 designer fragrances are: 1. Bvlgari Aqva Amara 2. Prada L'homme (mainly office wear) 3. Versace Dylan blue 4. Guerlain L'homme Ideal Cologne 5. Dunhill Icon (mainly office wear) 6. Acqua Di Gio Profumo (mainly evening wear) 7. John Varvatos Artisan Pure 8. Issey Miyake L'eau D'issey Pour Homme 9. D&G Light blue intense 10. Mont Blanc Individuel Great vid man! 😉

[@pmrp12]

Dior Homme is a masterpiece of contrasts-light/dark, bitter/sweet, masculine/feminine. Probably my number one, most me, fall in love every single time fragrance. So glad to hear someone else share the passion so strongly for it.

[@victorrubio9568]

Well put

[@realitycomplexitygoo]

George I appreciate you sharing your personal gems. You seem often swayed by sentimentality, moved by memories, and it all ultimately just reflects why fragrances are so near and dear to us (it’s emotional stuff). More than just a tool for a job, they’re time stamps we all uniquely identify with. That’s the fun in it. It’s videos like these that justify the love for this beautiful passion. Thanks for sharing.

[@ricardojmestre]

Very well put, Jamal. 👍🏼

[@realitycomplexitygoo]

Ricardo Mestre Thanks Ricardo ... I hope you are enjoying your fragrance journey 👍

[@ricardojmestre]

@@realitycomplexitygoo I am loving it. I have a terrible memory in general, but my olfactory memory is great. Fragances have allowed me to reach out those memories that would have been lost in a haze otherwise. That's why this video and your comment resonated so strongly in me. Have a great day 😊

[@realitycomplexitygoo]

@@ricardojmestre Hi Ricardo. Touche! I also suffer from memory issues. Isn't that wonderful that fragrance and memory are so powerfully linked? That one can haunt the other. I'm grateful for that.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Solid list bro. So jeal you have Ultra Zest!

[@louiscaeiroramos8051]

I know one perfect fragrance: Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme. Maybe the only one. Most versatile, all year round and beastmode.

[@spawnboi0]

I absolutely agree with number 5! I’ll always always always love and keep Tommy as one of my fragrances. It does something magical for my nose every time I smell it and brings back memories!

[@IrregularTangent]

You are fragrance asmr master lol..been loving your list and the background so calming..keep it up mate

[@MiamiSammy]

Would love to see an update to this list. I know it’s “basic” compared to what you normally do but I love seeing it as a snap shot of where people are at in their fragrance journey

[@UnknownChap]

It would wreck my head to do these challenges, you're a better man than me 😂 I remember the last time that I counted how many I own and I was shocked . That collection sure does build up.

[@fanpandatastic]

Completely drawn to your passion of fragrances and it caused me to go revisit my whole collection and smell and really think about them and the memories I've had with them. Thank you, subscribed

[@jamespawelek-lacey1778]

I tried AHS the other day for the first time in the heat of (British) summer. My oh my what a heavenly scent! I’ve had a sample of Eau Extreme for a while now which I’ve always liked but not enough to buy. But I honestly think I prefer AHS. Eau Extreme is the sweetened up version that’s trying to be even more versatile but honestly AHS is versatile enough and it just makes me happy smelling it, like a ray of sunshine! Fresh, citrusy, creamy, masculine.

[@MarkDaddy257]

Love the list. Love the background and lighting chosen for this video. Nicely done, George! So fantastic!

[@sirdavid8662]

Great video. There's something about you that reminds me of the actor Andy Nyman. I guess it's your passion, straight-talking, and authenticity.

[@chrisdodd9121]

Pure malt I couldn't live without, so christmassy , cant wait to get wearing that again.... great video.

[@hollybronwyn8176]

Love your passion for this , yes, exquisite art form. This sensory thing we enjoy just takes hold of some of us and will *not* let go!. Yep, I share the love and have done for four decades & counting.

[@WSF176]

I love you even more for Tommy making the list. I wish I had boxes of the vintage formula. The newer version isn’t as good and doesn’t conjure the same memories as before. It was a big part of my life for 4 years as it’s all I wore.

[@iangascoyne4274]

Fragrances choose YOU… I love that . I can see your passion too . I’m like that too . Some frags make me emotional . Armani pour homme because it’s is just beautiful, and elegant and simple . And you just go .. YES , this is mine . Haven’t tried Dior yet … dunno . Lipstick 💄.. really ? There’s a bunch of surprises in there too - Tommy man, Rochas man, great . Love that too . Nice one .

George, genuinely can't stop watching your videos. I'm so chuffed with your success on here - it was inevitable really! I'd love to get back in touch. Lots of love from an old mate x

[@le_Lilyon]

I knew Chanel Allure Homme Sport would be no. 1. 😁

[@aliabbasi5537]

Deserves to be there. Such a great fragrance

[@randazza]

Allure Sport always reminded me of lemon meringue pie.

[@Winnerslay1]

I love your taste and your approach to fragrances (the emotional aspect, some fragrances chosing you rather than the opposite, etc).. Keep up the good work!

[@jackmahon2100]

George!!! First off you’re the greatest to ever do this FragComm game. Second, idk if you’ll see this on such a non-recent video but I was never a fan of Allure Homme Sport on my first try, but I just sprayed a sample on and I really like it now. There’s this super airy, oxygenated, “hot sunny air” quality in the heart that is cool but that I can’t decide if I dig or not. The mandarin is really splendid now that I’m trying it again. Personally there’s other designer freshies that I think I like better, but it’s so awesome smelling along as you talk about it. Ur the mf GOAT!!!

[@loganwarren5962]

Prada Amber Pour Homme is so slept on! I just got a sample and ran across this video! It's sort of the "other" Prada Lhomme. Prada Lhomme smells like a sweet soap, Prada Amber smells like hotel soap, clean, clean, clean.

[@jessedominguez543]

As a Southern Californian I love your no. 1. All else is rubbish!! Always enjoy your videos pal. 🍻

[@justaddlight]

Very impressed with your 10 George. Four of them would be on my own list. For the curious, there's a clone of TF Noir edp minus the civet, clary sage and caraway called Monsieur Le Prince on Fire by Marina de Bourbon. Bottle has a cool fade, but the scent is slightly heavier on the leather. Very inexpensive alternative. Love the idea that fragrances choose us btw. Very possible that we connect with the emotional energy we harbour for them in the future-present - as if part of us already knows how much they're going to mean to us. Never know. Cheers for a great video!

[@cowboycrunchies]

George, great intro! A good point you make! Got back in the frag game in a big way these last few years and when look at my collection at least once a week I’m asking myself is it worth it? Hell yes!!

[@scentedsnowdrops]

This video the passion the love the feelings would explain to anyone who doesn't get this world why we all get so addicted, why wherever you are on the journey we are always still at the beginning. Great list too I love the older random choices its an honest list and why if we all did a top 10 there would be one or two the same but ultimately would all be unique

[@TrephineArtist]

Tommy! I love that stuff, so uplifting and just timeless. Great video, cheers.

Dior homme is literally one of the classiest things you will ever smell and is definitely my favorite from the line and I have them all 🤣🤣😒 its just more wearable/versatile then the others and a more complete composition than the rest of the line.

[@KingMetta]

In reference to my comment on the Jeremy video, I have been a loyal subscriber for a long time. You produce good content when you want to. At one point in time, you were my favorite reviewer. I just got sick of people using Jeremy drama to try and get views/subs. And then a group of reviewers got together on streams just to make fun of him. I've already stated that I'm not a huge fan of jeremy, but seeing someone who I've enjoyed watching for years, making videos where they are making fun of another person, is classless regardless of how cocky the person is. And you aren't the only one who is guilty of doing that. I've unsubscribed from about 6 reviewers who hopped on that train. I will say that you're the only one that I've stayed subscribed to with hopes that you'd eventually stop throwing jabs at Jeremy in your videos and start focusing on the fragrance being discussed. That's what set me off on that video. You were putting out great content, gaining subs rapidly, and then threw up another Jeremy video out of no where. It's just like, I thought we were passed this. It was an unfunny joke that the community has carried on too long. Even if it was comedically appealing, it was still carried on too long. I'm hoping none of that was taken personal and you just use what I said to produce the quality content you are capable of. You're passionate about the hobby and are talented at video production. You don't need drama videos to grow your channel. Looking forward to the rest of this season

[@TheFragranceApprentice]

Me and Jeremy are fine. Jeremy literally released a video reacting to my content today.Any issues we had have passed. Good to have you back.

Great list George but a fragrance that would make my all time ten list which probably wouldn't have in the past would be Chanel Edition blanche...totally agree with you about the Tommy Hilfiger 👍

[@HenryPerez_royal_hp]

Tom ford Noir, man where do i start? That bottle itself tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about the curious liquid within - it is mysterious, chic, romantic, mature (not old!) something from long ago and yet modern all the same, dark, sexy magic juice! Not your average, run-of-the-mill smells-like-every-damn-thing at sephora type fragrance! Many people swear by it's more....ahem, "younger' brother Noir extreme, but that just makes me happier since i know there will be more original Noir left for me, oh and for George too, of course! :)

André I. Erm. If you’re thinking about ending your life because of a Fragrance selection on a KZbin video, perhaps you should seek immediate psychiatric help. Also, no offence those picks are lovely but it’s not 1995 any more and I’m 26 not 45. And boy my imagination must be really vivid because I can remember the Guerlain rep at my House of Fraser admitting they were new reforms. Also I have a vintage LIDGE and new LIDGE, they are different. Guerlain is great but they have been reformed and no amount of denial will change it. These are my picks and that’s the bottom line, sorry you don’t agree.

You might enjoy my Niche list more as I can really appreciate the avante guard and mature appeal more in that list. LIDGE was my Fav. I was quite heart broken when the difference happened. I can tell the difference, less darker, less cacoa but I can live with the new Juice maybe not that new bottles though as the old bottle was beautiful and classic.

[@balac1ster]

Maybe Encre Noir Sport , but try it out before buy but for the price , quality is of the roof . Smell is somewhat dirty I would say like hard base for someone who likes freshness of aquatic scent but not the one that transport you to the sea but rather to the woods, a magic one with grapefruit tree by the green cold lake . Don't let it Noir in the name fool you , vetiver in composition is more on the bright side , also more biter feeling than sweet or citrus so unique factor also there . It is not offensive , projects like crazy first 2 hours , for the rest of the time moderate projection , skin scent after 7 hours , very good dry down also .
