Now that I'm back... how things will be

[@Wstarlights]

All these points are literally why this was always one of my most honored and respected KZbin channels in my watches and subscriptions, probably the top, before the points were reiterated here, I already loved it for those reasons. And the antithesis of THIS channel and it's types - are what have irked and plagued KZbin for at least a decade now. This Chan and it's discussions are legendary and memorable and I remember so much including the different rooms behind you from Amen and Versace and all the other 'non-indugent', honestly interested reviews. This Chan is a 'tip of the spear' to me, not just how I weigh other fragrance reviews, but as a measure of all channels 'straightforwardness' and sincerity. And none really compares.

[@QWERTYOP80]

YES!! A fragrance channel with the old school mentality! Count me absolutely in! Totally agree that the peak of fragcom was when people just did it for the love. I’m glad there’s still some likeminded people out there. This is great news! (SOTD - Intense Cafe)

[@raymondmoore230]

Honestly sponsorship has killed reviews. Thank you. Always have been the OG of reviews

[@thekingcrawleynetwork6665]

Your channel was the first that I came across years ago that was my go to to learn about fragrances…I’m glad you’re back!🤙🏾

[@LT_PL]

i came to this channel - i believe in 2013/2014 and since then I value it the most from all fragrance channel - no "sexy panty pussie-catching fragrances", no drama involving, professional yet not boring approach to fragrances and very informative. I also like how despite moving along with our lives - channel still keep its form. Regards from Poland :)

[@markyounghouse2641]

Very excited that you are back and sharing videos. I have always enjoyed your approach.

[@kandonquince6973]

Hey you now have an new follower for your channel I love the fact that your being blessed with just your true passion for the art of fragrance.

[@AlwaysKeepStirring]

Dracdoc, you’ve been a fragrance community OG. Most people anyone who really knows fragrances knows your channel, along with some other veterans of the game. Been watching since 2014

[@joshuagolden5194]

What a breath of fresh air!!

[@shaunleonard3878]

Much respect! 👍🏼

[@bysperry355]

Man, thank you Dracdoc, there’s only a handful of real ones left, You, Scentrifugal Force, I miss BottomNote, and a handful of others (You all know who) Other reviewers started off cool but have turned into commercials, not knocking their hustle but man it’s turned into a competition for subs, views, and $$$$$. It’s so obvious. I’ve been part of the fragrance community since 2012. Always love & support from my end. Appreciate you sir

[@robertbarabas1768]

So happy that your back . I was watching before long time ago. It’s give me a nostalgic feeling of good times back in the day. 👍👏👏

[@boongyify]

Totally vibe with your sentiments

[@saabreplay7553]

I really appreciate your work my brother

[@JohmathanBSwift]

Welcome back Cody. I just picked up a bottle of Estee Lauder's Knowing. It's vintage. It has a short list of ingredients. Man, I can't believe how good these women's perfumes were back then. Today we would call it unisex.

[@Jaimev1798]

This guy is the reason why im collecting perfume for many many yrs. welcome back brother.

[@Wstarlights]

Cough** Ahem** Clears throat.. "BEFORE JEREMY." 😑 (You know. When it was nice, why we were all here.)

[@LT_PL]

i remember his first video jpg le male vs million and then full review of creed aventus with his crazy story on party and comparsion to wiessman mf roadster - those seem to be very down to earth and real. today i think he just his plot and just went full enteprenour, not necessary with passion for fragrance

[@jimr880]

I've always appreciated the fact you've done this "fragrance thing" out of passion and not for financial gain or notoriety. The only thing I would ask is that your camera be adjusted for the daylight in the background...gives the video a washed-out, grainy feel. Cheers!

[@JONATHAN-db2ry]

Just caught on to your channel not long before you left. And really happy to see you back. Looking forward to what's next ✌🏻

[@milkbaby99]

Let m me get this straight: There are ABSOLUTELY NO commercials shown on KZbin Premium?! If that's true then sign me up! 😌

[@anthonyconcepcion5466]

Cody 😎🤙🏻 good to see you back Keep it up 🙏🏻🙌🏻

[@SkateboardingBC]

Love that you put the money gained from your channel directly back in to your kids

[@michaelbullock8011]

WELCOME BACK BRO AND GREAT VIDEO AND I ENJOYED IT AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING SOME GREAT REVIEWS AND HAVE A BLESSED DAY

[@duanemayfield1136]

You've always kept it honest and that's why I love your content.

[@abidkhatri2690]

Happy to see u back, 👍

[@dibrahim08]

where is my intrigo devastante?

[@rayhanes1347]

Will you ever develop your own fragrance with a partnership? What would you like to smell in a bottle?

[@alfcarjackstheclown7849]

You're too smart to be an influencer and your opinion is much appreciated

[@adisucipto5386]

can't wait for the ride🤭

[@georget867]

Welcome back Cody This video took me back to the good old days of the fragrance community. Tim, Brandon, Marc.. and of course Doc!

[@GunsAndGloves]

You stated your position and opinions on sponsorships years ago. We know your honourable.

[@SenadZecevic17]

Have you decided how you are going to give away the fragrances you decided not to keep?

[@jesuso6847]

good to see you back, Cody! And major kudos for staying truly independent and keeping the spirit of the old school fragcomm alive! Much respect! Looking forward to seeing your future content. Also, hope you and your family are doing well in FL.

[@eastriverg3595]

Hell yeah.

[@roctrongo]

I think that not purchasing just to review is a great idea!

[@MrRomBomb]

Welcome back

[@adonisDNA2000]

I hadn't subscribed but after this vid I'm officially a subscriber. I'm starting to get tired of most of these fraginfluencers. (I need to start unsubscribing to most of them) I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel 😎

[@saltychipdust5700]

You’re what’s right about fragrance reviews. I still like watching other reviewers but I really respect your opinion. I live by sample before you buy…if you’re not sure after 5ml it’s probably not bottle worthy.

[@kerrypope5896]

This is why my wife and I love yours and Robes08 videos. And thanks for the LIDGE. Smells great and I remember when you first bought it. It's your second bottle because your first one had some of the letters missing.

[@derekgreene4253]

I'm glad you're keeping it one way. The trend now is alot of KZbin fragrance aficionados trying to get you to buy their scents or looking for attention. I slowed down on watching alot those guys because of that. You was one of the first people I started watching and although you've slowed down I still enjoy and watch your videos. You've always kept it real. God bless my brother and I love the kids pictures. Too cute 😍

[@raulperezjunior1]

That is awesome!!!! Your honesty is why people follow you. I’m glad you’re back, your content is great!

[@thatguyfromny]

Good to see you back…

[@coreysmith106]

You’re a Good dude man 💯💯🙏🏾

[@raphaelfrancis4509]

Welcome back Doc.

[@ryany3549]

Always loved your reviews and your honest approach !! OG subscriber when Robes was one of the biggest channels before the influencer crowd came in ! Keep up the amazing work

[@TheAmosuno]

He's back!!!!!

[@shanehall98]

I love the videos. I will look forward to more.

[@boongyify]

Your videos bring back good vibes. It's not commercial like modern reviewers

[@WSF176]

I’m just glad to see you back. And I support your future direction

[@justaddlight]

Samples are the way to go! Especially when exploring more creative works. No need to solicit feedback from those around you; but if it pops up, don't hesitate to mention it....Especially if it's negative. 😆 Highly entertaining!

[@TheRjsupreme]

Bravo, I love your integrity. You are one of the only reviewers I trust.

[@dachucktaylor1]

Glad you are back!

[@mansoorwahab8934]

I can't imagine a review being inadequate just because it based on a sample.

[@redsalmon951]

Started watching cologne reveiws in Fall '13. it was always about getting information about colognes i was interested in. Miss some of the older reviewers who stopped reviewing videos. Currently getting Armaf. i have Milestone and CDNI edt but plan on buying Siliage and CDNI edp. Milestone beats Creed MI in every catagory. if you nab some samples it would be interesting to know your thoughts on clone houses

[@irdroberts18]

Welcome back 💪🏽

[@sebenzalover]

I think you shot yourself in the foot there by making this pledge that no-one asked you for. People with perfectionist strict all or nothing personalities often do this. You should have enjoyed making your videos that we love and kept the door open for reaping the benefits of your hard work. Anyway, your call of course.

[@dracdoc]

This pledge is BECAUSE I've been doing this. Accepting samples, money other other items inventible skews ones opinion n a positive light towards said items. I've learned that I cannot be fully impartial being too close, that's why it's being done. I've also learned that if money is introduced as an incentive into something I do, it takes on a different tone... its not fun and games anymore ... you have obligations to upload.. you can't fully speak your mind. This isn't shooting myself in the foot by not accepting money, its freeing oneself from said shackles. This isn't hard work to me and that's the point.

[@georgiogeorgiano1636]

You're are the reason why i started gathering fragrances!!!!! I've been following you for many years!! I really appreciate your genuineness!!! Hope see also Becky in your reviews ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@roctrongo]

you legit did not even watch the video lmao

[@georgiogeorgiano1636]
