The Top 9 Best Fragrance Releases of 2023.

[@jboll84]

I would like to see a best of 2024 video in 2023. I prefer fragrances from the future

[@claudiozucca4512]

Thank you sooo much, it’s a big honor! 🙏🏻❤️

[@Bredddi]

I love it when he gets serious and mad. It really gets me serious too. Makes me feel driven

[@JimmySolution]

I am glad I watched until the very end. Dat Michella roast 🤣🤣🤣

[@Roy_Godiksen]

The reason so few people are hyping Golden Oud, is because nobody can buy it. I've checked every online store i can buy from. None of them has ever had 1 Million Golden Oud in stock.

[@Beardsome10]

Paco rabanne official website always have it in stock. They go out of stock quick because they are not releasing in high quantities at a time but always come back in. If it’s out of stock it gives you an option to put your email in to be notified when they are back in and they will do that. I done the same when I bought it

[@Roy_Godiksen]

@Beardsome10 ah, I didn't check På Paco Rabanne's website. I didn't think they sold to individual people. I've tried to get it there, but it says "excolusive" and can't be bought. Probably restricted where I live. I don't know.

[@Beardsome10]

@@Roy_Godiksen ah ok, maybe I think it’s only Europe from the official store.

[@Roy_Godiksen]

@Beardsome10 I live in Norway, which is in Europe. But we aren't part of EU, so the rules are sometimes weird. There are a lot of fragrances I can't get. Like Aaron Herence Hughes doesn't ship here at all. The big European online stores doesn't ship here either. Sucks, but I'm getting used to it.

[@Beardsome10]

@@Roy_Godiksen ah man that sucks big time. Maybe take a trip to the UK and take a haul with you lol

[@MrMelonMan96]

Golden Oud is a middle eastern exclusive and not available at most retailers. I got to sample it today at a middle eastern perfume shop

[@blahfever7186]

Bois Primitif has been in my winter rotation since I saw you describe it on your channel. I also ordered Deep Waters and Mineral Wood from this house, so I can’t wait to wear them because I used up the samples the week that I got them.

[@RIVERAEDGE]

Second 🗿🗿🗿 I don't like commenting before finishing the video, but I had to do this at least once 😤 Also George, I just wanted to say i literally watch your videos every day religiously from season 1 to 2024, You are my favourite fragrance icon 🔥🙏

[@h4r4]

Wore Gucci elixir today at work, lasted all day. People were saying it was too strong and loud but I enjoyed it 😂

[@specialed.2461]

A sample spray lasted 3 weeks on my jacket sleeves. Unfortunately, it smells cheap and offensive to my nose

[@danielferreiraholderbaum4295]

The analogy between fragrance and music genres is pure brilliance!

[@ryankieth1675]

I own a bottle of Into The Wild. I own nothing else like it in my early 200 fragrance collection. It’s special.

[@laytunes1376]

Early 2023 was a scary time for all of the frag comm... but then you came back so all is right in the world now. TBH you had me a little worried over the break haha, but i understand you're working on lots of new stuff!

[@aceofsouls7243]

Cool list George! I'll be checking these fragrances out!

[@jaypohl9651]

Yes, I gotta agree with you on that Golden Oud

[@stangreen1564]

I agree with you wholeheartedly regarding Golden Oud. After testing it out on my skin, I made sure to get a back up bottle. I can definitely see it getting discontinued due to marketing. I absolutely love it!

[@Emerold7777]

Dear Heaven.. HOW have I never heard of this Claudio Zucca Parfum house.. I just took a gander at his house and I cant wait to try the majority of his offerings Many thanks for this great vid. Cheers

[@rapsodicreaper]

14:00 *this part was the highlights of this video, golden words by George* ❤

[@scottstiles3799]

Yes. Wise words indeed

[@MoahGentle]

Interesting list. Hyped to try the 1 Million and Guilty flankers.

[@KHLthe2nd]

How's the weight loss going? I'm down 32 pounds since late October.

[@df7687]

Brilliant as always George, well done buddy and i will 100% be trying the Paco Rabbane fragrance now! Best wishes from the wirral mate

[@Klacoslav]

I loved that part during Rule of 72. You always give so grounded and mature advice, that often hits home for me. In case you search for some vetiver scents, I do recommend Caron Aimez-Moi Comme Je Suis. Rooty vetiver mixed with hazelnuts. Etat libre d'Orange executes the same idea but uses vanilla instead of hazelnuts. Carven Vetiver. It was the predocessor to the great Guerlain Vetiver. Current formulation is not the same, but it is still enjoyable crispy vetiver mixed with some benzoin and lemongrass. And yeah, I guess I have to order discovery set from 27 87. Cheers George.

[@edgardozara97]

I really have my eyes on into the wild, rule of 72, mineral wood, centauri elixir and o hello. Thanks George for the awesome suggestions :)

[@thomashenryirvin]

George have you ever tried putting your favorite single malt into a spray bottle and applying it to neck and wrists? I wonder what the projection and sillage would be. A bargain vintage fragrance at £50 for 750ml.

[@booki3279]

I’m super curious on this now, lol

[@yogurtboy123]

I haven’t smelled “Into the Wild”, but the description reminded me green Irish tweed. How would you compare the two?

[@storkonstage]

[@RustyTridents]

The michella shoutouts after golden oud had me dying 😂💀

[@jimlittle5769]

I could have sworn the Guerlain chosen for this video came out in 2022. I heard Guerlain and I figured perhaps Tobacco Honey was going to be the Guerlain chosen. It's a beautiful fragrance. I personally love Jubilation 40, which somehow missed the lineup completely in this video. I knew Absolu Aventus would be shunned too based on other videos done by this reviewer. While the price is too much, I find it to be the best version of Aventus I've ever tried. I LOVE it and my my wife LOVES it even more. People at work love it as well.

[@samirnayak1306]

George, if you haven’t, please try Reflection Man on a very hot and humid day.

[@jove1155]

For those curious abt Rule of 72, simply go enjoy Amouage Interlude. I can't believe this man has not smelled it, because the comparison is obvious. Also, while 1 Million Golden Oud IS fantastic, it's also very similar to Nishane Papilefiko.

[@TheFragranceDecantBoutique]

Love these ❤️‍🔥

[@thomashenryirvin]

Ordered a bottle of the One Million Oud from the PR site off the back of this. Sadly it didn't come with the promised 1ml sample to 'try before you buy' so I had to open it. Reminds me very much of 'Black Tie' by Fragrance One and to a lesser extent, Bvlgari Man Terrae Essence. I don't get any oud, real or synthetic.

[@fatcheese8088]

Didn’t even watch the video completely and ordered golden Oud. I know that I can probably trust your nose, been a long time that I’m that excited for a fragrance except for the good ole Paco Rabanne pour homme

[@blahfever7186]

Have fun at the Royal Rumble mate! Have you ever thought of doing a video or series combining wrestling and fragrance? Pick a wrestlers career and compare it to a fragrances popularity, maybe. Do a livestream wrestling promotion type video? You know for shits and giggles! ✌️

[@briannam2953]

I blind bought Golden Oud and it was delivered just a few hours before I watched this!

[@sandymcconnell1969]

Where oh where is Boss Bottled Elixir?!

[@rapsodicreaper]

Not everyone's cup of tea

[@jamarteamer1281]

Legit have never seen your number 1 pic ever in life. Im legit intrigued

[@elnido4184]

Seems like there are many haters out there of Paco Rabanne 1 Million But Paco Rabanne should never be underated, especially the 1 Million line. Paco Rabanne is awesome for the 1 Million line. Your the best, a great 1 Million fan You Tube expert You've really made my day about Paco Rabanne 1 Million, whichever one I choose to use whether it's the latest one or the original. I loved your review about the original in the video that you made in 2019. At last I feel like a fragrance expert is on the same level as how I feel that Paco Rabanne is seriously underrated and not given the credit that it deserves.

[@bitcoinfightclubvegas1615]

😎 Got my Bottle of Rule of 72 ! Digging it, here in the cold desert 🏜️….. Have an excellent 2024 🎉…….. All the Best….👊 Cheers 🍻

[@federicotaliano2064]

If you want experience scotch whisky in perfume, try Fumidus by Profumum Roma, whilst the best rum is Fleur Cachee by Lebreton. To me, that, is pure rum

[@waftingwafting]

Great video! You didn't time stamp number 2....

[@ExistentialSadness]

Gucci Guilty Elixir is an absolutely insane fragrance, I just wish it was cheaper.

[@fashionandfrags]

Your take on rule of 72 sounds very telling of what's going on in your head and it sounds like maybe this scent is keeping you in the chamber in your head and not going out and smelling those flowers of what your life could be. It may connect with you and you like it, but is it worth it if it keeps you still in life feeling that way? Just a thought. I do appreciate you're sharing scents not really covered on most other channels. Your visual descriptions are always amazing takes, too.

[@AbdiFrags]

I love ur content bro but damn i disagree with elixir although it’s a 10/10 for me. Both Reflections are 11/10 😮‍💨

[@dqyler]

So intriged to try golden oud by your reaction but at a glance it will be so hard to find online

[@brianesbaugh6897]

Still not sure yet…do you like Golden Oud?!🤣 Great review, however, had no idea what seven of those were at all… Only knew the JPG Elixir, Gucci guilty elixir, and of course the 1 Million Golden Oud

[@aromafromheaven]

Elixer is amazing

Nice blazer, George! Suits you!

[@beaver6d9]

Now watch me oooooooooud. Fragrance boy tell 'em

[@justaddlight]

Nerolia Vetiver Forte still the best alternative to Penhaligon's Cousin Matthew imo. Alongside Mugler's Come Together. A very interesting line up George. I think that PR gets compared with Halfeti?

When you describe gucci Guilty elixir suddenly i recall your boss bottled oud aromatic review Greetings George

It’s funny that Quentin Bish created both Gucci elixir and Le Male elixir and from the two it’s Gucci that is actually closer to Le Male DNA than the latest flanker of JPG

I've just broken my golden rule of never blind buying anything after a YT recommendation. Fuck. Hope I love it too. Well done to Paco Rabanne who send out a small sample of it so you can try it first. If you don't love it you can send the bottle back and get a refund. Available on their website for about £100

[@florianwinkler2565]

Well golden oud smells pretty similar to „no limit“ from philip plein. So i guess it is from alberto morillas.

[@01bigtrev]

Golden oud Not available anywhere in the uk. I do love the elixir

[@DanJD1255]

It is available on the U.K. Paco Rabanne website. I managed to get a bottle when they did a “limited release” last year. It’s definitely in stock on their official website and yeah, it’s worth the £ IMO.

[@nefarious_saint]

George, Are we going to get a review of Gucci Guilty Elixir? Also... actually bought into the wild by Statik Olfactive based on your recommendation and tried the 10ml sample right before new years. Ok first the good. It’s got an amazing atomizer. Like wow. It almost creates a mist. Fantastic. Hopefully it’s refillable and I can keep the atomizer for other fragrances. Now the bad. It smells… to put it in a good way, not well. As an ex cigarette smoker, the first few sprays make me feel like I just had a smoke in the forest. Super gross. Then intense green pine mint overpowers everything and it smells like skol green chewing tobacco. Not the best smell in the world. It settles in nicely as a really cheap mint green car freshener that hangs from the rear view mirror. My hispanic girlfriend said I smell like a Mexican Uber driver who has a dirty car, and just sprayed this shit in it to mask the smell of dirt. Would not recommend wearing this around women. They fucking hate it.

Does 1 million golden oud use real oud? I know how some designers just use an accord. I can't be number 1 if it's fake oud. How long does it last?

[@WhiteRangerTP]

Who cares if its real oud or not? Only frag heads like you. Ordinary normal people care about 2 things alone: how does it smell and how well does it perform. If it smells good, it can be the fakest oud ever, i dont care.

You are delusional. Golden Oud is really forgettable, not as good as Lucky, Prive or Royal.
