This is an important video. It highlights how costly the fragrance rabbit hole can get once we're really far along. All this talk about reformulations, watered down fragrances that once were fantastic.. these are all things beginners simply don't understand or know of until they're in the thick of it. There is just so much that's not worth rebuying and you risk wasting money in the likely event a fragrance you love has changed. These companies hope to God us ordinary consumers don't notice and just continue pulling out our wallets. Maddening to say the least. Well done, George.

Nostalgia can be such a bitch when thinking about rebuying fragrances. I have a bottle of Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme that I got in 2017 for Christmas, because I wanted a safe-purchase lady pleaser and it was the one that Jeremy would always recommend. I got it and was so disappointed. It's definitely a lady pleaser, but I just never got into it. However, this was way before I started collecting fragrances, so if I got one fragrance for Christmas then it was practically my daily driver - so it's unsurprising that it holds so many memories for me; practically my college years 2018-2020. The bottle of Eau Extreme is impossible to see through under normal conditions, so it's hard to gauge just how much juice there is left. I thought I was on the brink of running out so I wore it sparingly, and then I told myself that it was much better than a I remembered. I bought more fragrances and suddenly Eau Extreme became a prized item that I wore on special occasions. However, I recently found out that you can see the juice level by shining a bright light through the bottle and was surprised to see I have just under half of the 100ml bottle still left; which goes to show you how much I really didn't like it for me to still have nearly half liquid remaining despite it being my daily driver for 2 years. There were days where I wouldn't even spray it, I would just shower and go out because I'd rather smell like Dove Men's body wash than Eau Extreme. Suddenly, I stopped caring about Eau Extreme. I didn't even touch it. I was nowhere near being nearly out and it suddenly returned to being unappealing to me. I suspect I'll go back to wrestling with my emotions when it does - if ever - near being empty. But for now... $100+ of my hard earned money is safe.

I have to say, George, you’re one of the few reviewers who really knows their sh*t when it comes to both the fragrance industry, and when to spot a good fragrance that’s worthwhile. Pretty much every fragrance you recommended has been spot on, even if I personally wasn’t a fan of the scent profile myself. I have you to thank for my love of Bvlgari Man Wood Neroli, and I can’t wait to try Acqua Di Parma Colonia Intensa. I own Bvlgari Man in Black Essence, and if you haven’t tried it yet, I suggest you do. It’s the Man in Black DNA with cinnamon and cocoa added. It might be up your alley, though Man Black Orient is my favorite of the flankers.

I don't understand the Acqua di gio profumo either. May not have smelled it for a while. Code profumo I like and Stronger with you Absolutely or whatever smells a lot too though very christmassy / caramell but the acqua di gio is just not that interesting / weaker / not the cozy stuff. Think I prefer Dior Sauvage over that one no idea how similar they are but ..

I have 120+ frags so Bvlgari Man In Black is not in my constant rotation, but every time I do wear it I'm like "oh yeah!... this amazing stuff" 😊

In my opinion in the Bvlgari Man line Black Orient is my favourite unfortunately it's much easier to get crabs then finding a bottle for a decent price these days.

I have the original and a L' Extreme, what a powerful statement these both make, not in huge beast mode performance, just the standout uniquity. The original makes your skin smell like a haunted forest, in a good way. I used it as my bedtime fragrance recently and had such vivid dreams. A l'extreme just pushes it further into complex and spicy notes, but not Spicebomb territory imho, it's dry, mature, complex, like if that haunted forest had sentience, it had an opinion. I'd love to hear the full rundown on this channel. Sure there are vetiver and spicy fragrances from many houses, but nothing like this line!

@@sohatyi to me personally, Encre Noire comes off as a green and woody fragrance. I don't get the haunted forest vibe from it, but can totally relate to people who do. The entire lineup is a niche quality masterpiece.

I find SWY Intensely too loud and heavy. I prefer the original. I do want to give Absolutely a try though, I hear it's more refined than Intensely. I want to try Man In Black too

I don't know about the Bleu de Chanel. I seem to be the only one to get 30m-1h performance on any in the line. Also, I think it's the victim of its own success and even though it's THE ONE, today it smells like it's the one OF MANY.

I just got a vintage pre-reformulation Eau Sauvage Parfum and I got to tell you, except for a slightly darker opening and some more intense vetiver (a la Guerlain's) in the drydown there's not much of a difference. Maybe you're just worn out on its DNA?

disappointed in hearing that eau sauvage is not good anymore ? What about the edp or the intense are they any better ? Btw, absolutely disagree with versace pour homme. Im getting so many compliments to this day whenever i use it. It’s a timeless classic, it was ahead of its time when it came out, how would this ever get old ? Lol
