Thanks. I am just starting a collection and this is what I have so far. At 63, I'm a little late to the game. It all started when my wife said she wished that I wore fragrances again like I did 36 years ago when we got married. Calvin Klein Euphoria Bvlgari Man Armani Code Chanel Platinum Egoiste Armani Code Summer Mugler Cologne by Thierry Mugler Chanel Allure Homme Dior Homme Eau

[@NoThisIsPatrick87]

Very nice list!

[@kenperry4190]

Thank you for another great video. I like how you tell it like it is rather than sugar coating everything. Hopefully since you are from New York you can go to Sniffapalooza Spring Fling and report back to us what it was like and what new scents are coming out. Great Job !!!

[@Steven-tf2ph]

Cody, thanks for yet another excellent video. You've been a guiding light as I've ventured beyond the mainstream fragrances (although there is certainly nothing wrong with some mainstreams: Chanel, Dior, etc). I just received my bottle of Bergamote 22, and you nailed it: sparkling, an absolutely wonderful bright citrus with a dense feel to it. I love the non-aquatic summer fragrances and this is one of the best!

[@chromoperson01]

Great list Cody. Have to check these out for sure!

[@kingofkings0101]

Your videos are very well constructed...Good videos..keep posting

[@1Darkwave1]

Really like how your taste changes . I'm sure your collection is huge and changing it up is something that you can always do ! I think you have great influence on the community and when you pulled out M7 in 3rd , I realized that I never heard of it before . I'm very new and have taken your advice more than any other reviewer . Thanks so much and keep up the incredible work !

[@dracdoc]

Thanks!

[@SONICE69]

Ok, I'm done! Great great list.... I love several of them although not on my 10/10 list.... Three of them really intrigued me: Olifactive Studio, M7 and Oud Wood.... Keep up the great work bro and I loved your disclaimer at the opening because the video is not made for people to pick apart and critique....👍👍👍

[@finchgould6538]

Mark Lee I live in Japan and on Amazon.jp, JF Tobacco Vanilla 1.7 oz (50ml) goes for 308 dollars, and the 3.4 oz(100 ml) is 460 dollars. NO, THANK YOUUUUUU!!

[@supernova360]

So far I have only bought Chanel's Allure Home Edition Blanche and it is very amazing! I have Bleu de Chanel coming in the mail and I plan on trying out Acqua Di Gio! I am new to this and love your videos! Thank you for helping me expand my fragrance collection! Any recommendations on what I should try out next?

[@mohmegan]

I am 29 years old and i have been collecting perfumes for 5 years now. These are my top 3 fav perfumes. 1) Dior Farenheit 2) Creed Green Irish Tweed 3) Chanel Allure Home Sport.

[@SONICE69]

[@dracdoc]

SONICE69 Nice!

[@benodo]

Favorite all time is mixing TF Tuscan Leather with TF Oud Wood. Should be in a bottle by itself. The Tuscan Leather sharpens and gives the Oud Wood better projection, elegant, mature, masculine to the core.

[@finchgould6538]

Interesting. How did you find out that one?

[@samirdavis2729]

[@djmontyforyou]

Hey drac doc awesome list bro. Will you be attending sniffapalooza this weekend?

[@christennant7835]

My Current Top 10 (I live in FL so not many winter frags in my collection): 1. Creed Millesime Imperial 2. IL`Eau d`Issey Pour Homme Summer 2014 3. Xerjoff Nio 4. Creed Aventus 5. Bond No. 9 - Bleecker Street 6. Boss Bottled Unlimited 7. Versace Pour Homme 8. Dolce & Gabbana - Light Blue (My go to for the beach) 9. L'Homme Yves Saint Laurent 10. Versace The Dreamer

[@dracdoc]

Solid! I think the only one I have not tried from yours is boss bottled unlimited

[@christennant7835]

dracdoc Thanks man. Unlimited is solid for warm weather if you like the original Bottled...I kinda like it better than the original because of the minty start and lighter/fresher dry down...wife loves it too so can't complain, it's fresh and clean!

[@xplosivejosif]

I need to experience the vintage M7! Do you have a video of your favorite vintage/original formulation frags?

[@dracdoc]

xplosivejosif That I do not have

[@vintheconquerer]

Hey, what's your take on Polo Red. I just bought it at Macy's but not sure if it will last long or smell good.

[@Greggieboy76]

Great vid Cody!

[@Troy-kg5mj]

Hey Dracdoc, (talking about Tuscan Leather mixing with other fragrances) you should make a video with top 5 or top 10 fragrance combinations. I think it would be pretty interesting.

[@Monkeys-10]

Your description of Chambre Noire, the way scents work or not with your skin, is what is a real signature scent to me. The one(s) that work magic on you Vs others.... And not the one you prefer to wear or that you can use for any occasion like many many say.

[@pietrotmaximof8175]

1-Gucci Envy 2-Maison Margiela Untitled 3-Givenchy Pi 4-Carier Declaration 5- Christian Dior Bois D'Argent I accidently mixed Margiela and Cartier,what came out of it left me in absolute shock; i cant stop doing it now!

[@maddmaxx46]

Also, have you tried gin and tonic alternatives? I doubt the quality matches L'Humaniste but I wear Adventure Quasar from time to time and I get great performance. It could be a nice alternative to L'Humaniste since it has that gin and tonic/rainforest fresh vibe to it.

[@tally1604]

awesome list, Cody. you do these list videos better than pretty much anybody else on youtube

[@dracdoc]

Thanks!

[@Roozy_Persepolis]

Since you mentioned how much you love Yves Saint, I would recommend you to try the "Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme". It's my #2 fav cologne.

[@antihero1678]

dracdoc I used about half of my 1mL sample of Frapin L'Humaniste yesterday on the back of my neck. I overheard my professor asking whether somebody had opened nail polish remover! And that was a good 5 hours into wearing it. Perhaps I overdid it, but trust me, it lasted. Bummed me out a bit, could be a scent that doesn't mix well in cold weather

[@syedmehroznizami6622]

nice list... great work!

[@SONICE69]

CODY, have you ever done a complete review of the M7?!?! Sounds intriguing....

[@dracdoc]

SONICE69 I have not, been meaning to

[@religulous420]

This guy is awesome, he shares my love for 'scent.'

[@oliverdex]

OMG!!! you have YSL M7. can i have it please... lol. can u please tell me where i can get one??

[@WildDoveX]

Am putting your 1, 2, 4 on my samples to get list

[@Danmandingo]

YES! *Andy* *Warhol* is the Plum/Oud/Vanilla Masterpiece. Hope to get your opinion on Xerjoff's NIO oneday, since you enjoy the note of Bergamote @______@

[@TheBatman777]

Bergamotto Marino actually has a similar bergamot to B22. The longevity on it stinks though...

[@Mayito6288]

Great top 10!!! on mine you have: EGOISTE (#1) Fahrenheit, Vanisia, Beige, Antaeus, No19 Poudre, Dior Homme, A*Men, Coromandel, Pure Havane

[@Danlikescheesteaks]

When you mentioned L'Humaniste's longevity, I thought of Acqua di Parma's Bergamotto di Calabria. It smells amazing, but has terrible longevity. I have to be pretty heavy on the trigger with that one.

[@dracdoc]

Bshel419 Interesting! I see the vibe of fragrances you like

[@Bshel419]

Any recommendations?

[@InsanePlay1]

Men , can you do a review of Police Gold Wings please ? Its about 30$ , verry underrated fragrance ...you will never regret

[@Jimmawang]

Cant afford Creed and Tom Fords Private Blend :,)

[@dracdoc]

Jimmawang Go for a split!

[@Jimmawang]

i dont know what that means haha

[@dracdoc]

Jimmawang Basically its when somebody buys the bottle, and people split it a number of ways. So lets say a creed costs 100$. Somebody will buy the bottle, and then decant the bottle and divide it 4 ways for 25$ each. You don't get all of the juice but you can afford at least some (those are not actual calculations but the jist is the same)

[@mugler06831]

GUERLAIN makes great fragrances

[@Am-qb5ik]

dracdoc Please tell me a perfume which smells like only the brave and stays on the skin for atleast 12 hours. Or any summers (Daytime) perfume something similar to aqua di gio or only the brave or aventus, but something that lasts for atleast 12 hours. P.S I reside in UAE the whether here dosnt even let 1 million to stay on you for more than 6-8 hours MAX.
