Incorporating fragrance education into your reviews seems like the next step for your content and was a surprisingly welcome addition in this video. Explaining what certain chemicals and notes actually are and how they interact was and is very engaging, as a lot of us are novice collectors. Helping us develop that vocabulary will build trust and loyalty in your reviews and your brand. Thanks.

Finally a note that I enjoy! So much fruity, vanilla, oud and gourmand being hyped up at the moment…also so much “beast mode” reviews…I prefer more fresh, woody and light floral notes (or at least my skin chemistry does 🤔)…So this video really gave me some great recommendations! 🙏

Glad there’s someone out there that isn’t a fan of Santal 33. Like, I don’t dislike it, I hate it lol. Zara had a similar scent a while ago, Tividen, which was sorta similar but it was much more creamy and milky. I still have a bottle that I use every so often in the colder months such as now. I layer it with my Mercedes Benz Black and the combination becomes the creamiest lactonic fragrance in my collection. If I could describe it, I would say it smells like if jewels had smells when broken. If an emerald had broken and the aroma started to fill the room, that’s what the layering smells like. It’s so beautiful. Thanks for another journey Sebastian!

Some perfume companies are switching to synthetic sandalwood and soap companies have discontinued their sandalwood soaps. Sandalwood paste both white and the red variety are used in Hindu worship in every household even today, but not as much because of the price. Sandalwood also smells best in a climate with high humidity.
