25 FRAGRANCES THAT I WILL NEVER. STOP. RECOMMENDING! (Part 3)

[@varunbrahmwar8574]

George, I don't know if you'll see this but thank you. Thank you for introducing me to Milleseme Imperial. I sampled it due to the hype you gave it and honestly man I didn't expect it but Its become my favourite fragrance of all time as well. Love from India🤘☺️

[@TheFragranceApprentice]

You are welcome my dude 🙏

[@rammul7801]

Same story here. And if you liked MI, I’m sure you’ll love Silver Mountain Water.

I tried Milestone by Armaf and it has become my favorite too. No wonder he loves MI so much 😍

[@RonaldJapenga]

For Explorer there are 2 camps. On one side those that like a high quality fragrance. And on the other side people that dislike it because they want to justify spending 200-300 pounds on Aventus.

[@fallguy6196]

There is nothing high quality about anything mont blanc especially explorer

[@RonaldJapenga]

@@fallguy6196 How's that bottle of Aventus? Did you get a good batch?

[@fallguy6196]

@@RonaldJapenga never had an issue with any batches. Been wearing it for almost a decade people exaggerate the batches just to talk about something. Same with GIT new batches one spray last 24hrs. My guess is you've never had aventus ?

[@RonaldJapenga]

@@fallguy6196 Only tested it in store. Not worth 200-300 imo. Maybe it used to be?

[@fallguy6196]

@@RonaldJapenga why even bother with explorer when cdnim is way way better? Better quality way better performance and smells identical to aventus unlike explorer, Especially the 2020 batch of cdnim they upgraded it and it is the best batch yet. Your wasting your time and money on explorer stuff is garbage just like all mont blanc frags

Chanel Bleu Parfum is great but the Bleu EDP is the crown jewel from that line in my opinion, the most balanced of the bunch-it also works like magic on me. I have Milestone and love it, had a group dinner recently and the whole table started talking about it, very loved!

[@bradleysmith7542]

I agree with this list, although I haven’t smelled the Hermès, I’m sure it’s wonderful. The only downside to recommending MI is that the performance isn’t great so spending $400 on an underperforming frag might bother some

Millesime Imperial & Club de nuit Milestone are literally sunshine in a bottle, I feel simultaneously lucky and unlucky to have found them so early in my fragrance journey, they set the bar so high I don't think they will ever be surpassed, yet I would be deeply sad if anything ever does.

[@MP-ej9pw]

I picked up a travel size of the Hermes from Nordstrom based entirely off your appreciation of the scent and have been very pleased with it. Thanks!

[@TheApollo2579]

I haven’t been watching your videos for that long but I’ve really enjoyed them.

[@Robinson8491]

Wouldn't be too worried about Dior Homme discontinuing, considering Valentino Uomo smells almost identical (and perhaps even better)? At least when I tried it in the shop

[@TheFragranceApprentice]

Mate. I’m hyped!

[@steliosc.4686]

My personal five are: 1) Oud Wood by Tom Ford ( Pure class in a bottle) 2) Grey Vetiver by Tom Ford ( versatile and works all year around) 3) Narciso Rodriguez for him EDP ( Heavenly Musc and so criminally underrated that i dont know wtf is wrong with all you reviewers. How could you not have appreciated such a scent?) 4) L Instant de Guerlain Edt. ( a woman almost ate me once and wanted passionately to know what I was wearing and i didnt even know her) 5) Zino by Davidoff. ( Forget Beau de Jour, Rive Gauche and all their hype and buy this) Think of the Rat Pack having their drinks, smoking their cigars, playing snooker in a room foul of wood and old leather chairs. Thats what it smells like.

Dior Homme parfum is better for me but I do have both Dior EDT the original is nice but it don't last long on me . I got both from Dior website. Chanel bleu EDT I always wear maybe I try the Chanel parfum next time

Do you think the recent reformulation and watering down of Creed's fragrances has anything to do with them being bought out by venture capitalists???

Great Video. I love your opinions. I do have a question... If I own Aventus, Cedrat Boise Intease, and dupes of Aventus; would you still recoment Mont Blanc Explorer?

I'm now fascinated to get my nose on a sample of Hermes Eau des Merveilles, as I already know that Hermes do a phenomenal (albeit devastatingly short-lasting) orange note in Eau d'Orange Verte. Here's hoping this is longer lasting.....

[@jingledubz3989]

Awesome content as usual, George! Loved this series, and laughed out loud when you said “galexeh” lol. I always give you a reason why your videos are awesome, and here is another one. You’re meant to be doing this George. Obviously you’re talking to a camera, but your personality and eloquent verbiage make it seem like we are sitting right across from you. That adds quite the personalization to these videos that make me always look forward to your videos. Finally, never review Creed MI. Ever. Be well, m8! 👍

[@raulsaavedra709]

Nice recommendations, will have to check out that Armaf Milestone :) About the Hermes, first time hearing about it, will try to sample it. That seems to be just one of some Creeds with quality issues. Agnes Eva (I'm sure many other KZbinrs too, likely) made a video comparing different batches of Aventus (2015 vs 2019), and the differences were staggering in smell and performance. She had each on each arm, the drydowns were so different she summarized: basically two different fragrances. So indeed clones (not just of Aventus) might be more faithful to the originals than newer batches.

[@calvinchong2197]

I agree the best fragrance is Armaf Milestone

[@superfatbass]

Our time in this world could be cut short at anytime,George, open the bottle and enjoy it , it's like buying an expensive watch .and not wearing in case it gets scratched. Peace

This was more EPIC than the Lord of the Rings Trilogy!!!...........

[@aby3773]

My wife favourite perfume is elixir by Hermes. I think so too it is an amazing perfume and wouldn’t mind wear it. However, recently I’ve got Hermes H24, and I think it has some of the Elixir DNA with a bit of masculine twist. Is really amazing and beautiful perfume, long lasting, with a nice transformation through the day. This too could easily be a unisex perfume.

[@trumpameri1638]

Agree with you about Sauvage.... nothing special to smell... explorer is fantastic fragrance

[@rtroyer8963]

Great list! My favorite is Eaglewood by House of Matriarch. Cheers!

[@davidgonzales9591]

Hello SIR ! In your professional (obviously) opinion, you actually think Explorer is a better Clone than Club De Nuit Intense ? I thought I heard that Club De Nuit Intense performed better than Explorer. I'm asking because I was just just about to pull the trigger on Armaf. Thanks in advance for your blessings

[@alamore5084]

I own CDN Intense. You will need to spray it loads as the smell tends not to last. It does get compliments but need to massively over spray. It does have a slightly synthetic smell, but smells really nice. Not sure if your own nose just cant pick it up when you are yourself wearing it. Any clothes you get it on and go back in the wardrobe. They smell amazing with the dry down weeks later. Don't overpay for it however.

[@ricardojmestre]

Hello George, I got Armaf Sillage due to your recommendation and it's mesmerizing. I guess I will have to check Milestone too. Stay well, Sir.

Armaf milestone clone of milliseme imperial is beast mode and absolutely amazing. I find most armaf clones to have beast mode performance.

[@ZanarkandFFX]

Lol Dior Sauvage Pretty Cool Spray is the best out of all if you don't like the EDT, i hate the EDT but love thr Very Cool Spray edition. It's heavy on the grapefruit and it's a really juicy one on that as well. Trust me get it and it lasts and lasts. People don't really talk about it since it's in a can and not a glass bottle.

[@scottybraaten]

Your lighting is so on point. Thank you for the great content and production quality.

Explorer is a more masculine version of Aventus. It's better without the lot variations. You know what you are getting.

[@bdilly17]

How does explorer compare to CDNI, since they're both clones of Aventus? I have CDN and it's great. Was wondering if it'd be redundant to get explorer. Thanks!

My JV dark rebel Performance just drop from 8 h to not even 1 hour at all. The opening has become more alcholic too and top notes has disappeared .

[@michaelmunchie]

As long as GIT holds up im good , Aventus has to much volatility Beautiful bottle on Mill Imperial though

[@Hoopla10]

Great little series. Thank you. I hope when you come to review Millesime Imperial it'll be because a fragrance has been released that has taken its spot in your heart and you need to let it go righteously. Oh and why do Creed seemingly keep messing with a good thing?

true story.. i just sold my 100mL 18D01 Millesime Imperial and that batch is 🔥🔥 for a more recent. only reason i sold it is bc i came across a bnib 120mL 16C01 tester. can't wait to get it!

[@hectorgarcia3343]

I've subscribed several weeks ago i genuinely enjoy your reviews. The Christian dior homme has become really difficult find here in america

[@fallguy6196]

I agree with you on alot of things but definitely not on mont blanc explorer. It has that wannabe aventus citrus in the opening and that's it there is no heart there is no dry down it is very linear with below average performance it's cloying and annoying and in no way it will never be the cool water of this time. It won't reach that status

[@dariuscorsau6260]

Depends on the skin type i belive, i just bought the Explorer, for me as a normal human being that does not want to pay for Aventus compared to other clones it does it for me, it s not really a clone cause it has Aventus vibes but that woody drydown for my nose is genial

[@dothetango1]

Random one, have you done a review on Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Oud Satin Mood? Can't find your thoughts on it

[@optimusmorton]

To many great scents have been watered down because companies want to “save money” at the cost of quality, Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille is another example.

[@deanboman]

I did try Eau des Merveilles from Hermes, it is strongly synthetic and without any character, a really generic commercial fragrance. I do not understand the hype at all.

Please tell me exactly which version of Hermes eau de Merveilles that is?!?

[@mylesmarques7092]

Hey George, great video! Do you ever keep the boxes for your fragrences? Should I be concerned that prolonged exposure to light will damage the scent? Seems like people online have mixed options. Thanks

[@abboed.4076]

Surprised Bleu de Chanel Parfum does work. I have had the same experience with the other ones, who just didn't work on my skin, and didn't even bother to try the more expensive parfum. Now I'm going to get a tester and see how people react (i.e. lost my sense of smell). 😎👍

[@Jakuby21]

I had the same occurrence with BDC. Although, I didn’t get bananas, I just got zero performance. Interesting stuff!
