"I'm an influencer" ... Im dead.

[@deathtoallbuttmetal8148]

I’ve grown tired of all of these overhyped annoying artificial vanilla scents so I started rubbing a small amount of actual vanilla extract on the back of my neck and it’s been a great success

[@MatevzRotar]

Boi 💀

[@SHROOMTECH]

I slice open pineapple and rub it all over my body. Get better performance than Aventus.

[@nefarious_saint]

I rub my fathers leather belt into the welts after he beats me. Smells better than hombre leather and the bruises have beast mode longevity and performance.

[@TalonTSI95]

Pro tip: rub a whale on your pulse points for an extra blast of ambrox. Cut out the middle man on the days you're running blue.

[@MrTonytalk]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@iam_ismell]

Haha 😆 could tell you were low key going thru it with all the background noises. Solid list George Happy Holidays 🔥🔥🎄

[@jamarteamer1281]

You're a trooper George, taking one for the team

[@PANCAKEPAP1]

If you love Herod, like myself, but find the price to be too steep, Divine Vanille by Essential Parfums is a great, cheaper alternative

[@TheFragranceLifestyle]

Really Appreciate your videos and the sendoff for Feve… such an amazing fragrance I am always secretly hoping will creep into top winter lists. It’s a shame the market for it though. Not worth a repurchase anymore imo. Recommend trying / reviewing Xerjoff casamorati Italica next. Cheers!

[@RamRegalia-vf8td]

Pure Tonka is neck and neck with Feve Delecious but its also discontinued.

[@mfgreviews5028]

George brings a unique entertainment into fragrance reviews that is frankly refreshing. His primary skill is in soundtracks. Yet like most creative people George probably has no idea of his artistic creativity. True artists never see their own skill.

[@davidmorris7101]

Love the outdoors it's so real and imperfect like normal life. Love the herod remark. Lol would love a beer at the pub with you and a good laugh. Keep it up

[@MiamiSammy]

Happy to be apart of Patreon gang merry Christmas!

[@lukaspriest]

A fellow gangster, YES!!!!

[@maxfortefan2947]

I think Celine Black Tie is a great gourmand, reminds me of DHI

[@targetrender9529]

I love listening to this guy speak.

[@aby3773]

I haven’t tried Feve D but Diorama is probably my new love that Im going to buy soon. Otherwise from what I have I really like Hypnotising Fire and Alex 2. Also, the new Aventus Absolute is such a lovely scent. I only wished wasn’t that expensive. Reflection 45 is also amazing for this time of the year.

[@gamalielcenteno4801]

Happy holidays to you and yours family 👍👍

[@ay_ay_ron2112]

I love Spicebomb Infrared edt for winter.

[@dellunn7026]

love the feve so much i got a brand new one ready for when my other 250ml runs out lol, that still 2/3'rds full, can be without that one, can't understand why they stopped making it, best one they ever made i think

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day

[@VSL229]

Merry Christmas, Mr. Apprentice.

[@KojakKronos]

Thank you very much for the really useful and fun conversation we had during our frag consult (the last consult of 2023 no less!). Word of advice, before filming wash your hands after eating Wotsits! Thanks for all the content, and enjoy the festive period.

[@NickyStikes]

I bought a decant of Noir Extreme Parfum last year and I thought it was ok. Your recent videos made me revisit it and I’m really enjoying it. Merry Christmas, mate!

[@SHROOMTECH]

Do you get the horse poop vibe? I smelled it off a tester strip recently and it was the first thing I noticed 😂. Smelled like walking through a Christmas market….on a farm

[@the.Aruarian]

@@SHROOMTECHSounds amazing for seducing horse girls

[@RamRegalia-vf8td]

To be honest I smelled all the Tom Fords and wasn't tol impressed esp at the price point.I think it's better to just buy a niche fragrance at a lower price point like Mancera Montale Etat D'Orange etc

[@will.i.am_copeland]

Sounds like you were filming on scene in a war zone - helicopters and things crashing around you. Lol Another perfect piece of work. A very Happy Holiday to you/ your family!

[@PattyOFurniture1]

I'm from South Africa and our winters are more like your autums (but dry) and our autums are more like your spring and our summers are like nothing you ever experience in the UK. So my collection consists mainly of Acquatics and Blue fragrances.

[@papascent6877]

George’s balls continue to take one for the team!

[@jimlittle5769]

I LOVE the scent of Herod, but it lasts like no time on me. I can give it seven sprays in the morning before I go to work and by lunch it's completely gone. And no, not nose-blind to it. My co-workers and my wife can't smell it on me after four hours either. It's weird cause some famously poor performing fragrances last longer on me than this.

[@troy5084]

This. The scent is honestly worth the money alone for me, but man…. the projection and longevity are probably the worst out of any fragrance I own. A but depressing just because I love it so much

[@raiden6513]

I have similar problem with Carlisle. Its so disappointing

[@IanGoodall-gg9yf]

Thanks for all the advice and insights over the year and hope you and yours have a great Christmas and New Year George!! 🥳

[@wizk04]

To me, Noir Extreme Parfum is more like a night in las vegas, someone smoking cigars at a casino.

[@schroederluck7984]

Solid list, George. Angel's Share is #1 for me

[@rammul7801]

I found an exact match to Dior FD . A clone house in Miami called Scentual Obcession. It’s an independent house but they have almost 100% copies of some expensive fragrances.

[@Bredddi]

you have to give zaharoff tabac about 5 minutes to dry down. the tobasco sauce nose drops out by about 90% and blends RIGHT in and you get this incredible lux vanilla but a very very smooth and deep and complex/layered tabacco. IMO this fragrance slaughters tobacco vanille. it is like PDM Herrod's older, wiser, wealthier cousin with more patina. Herrod is a BMW M5, tabac is a 1967 ferrari 275GTB california being driven by a middle aged french aristocrat heir through the long shadows of the early evening.

[@davemathew4690]

Thank you for the outdoors video

[@918Scents]

I just started the video and already know it will be epic!

[@F4834N]

Merry Xmas George🎄Love wearing Spicebomb Extreme during winter 😁👍

[@jp3622]

Where’s ombré leather and Dior sauvage elixir ?

[@henri2427]

Hello 👋🏻 what do you think about the Guerlain L’Homme Ideal line up? Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@silverbacksillage6812]

Great job

[@brianzhere]

How do you like your Google Pixel?

[@justaddlight]

Perseverance. 🥶 Krrrrraft. ✊ Elixir will be my Xmas day scent this year. It's official. 🥃

[@98Nedeljko]

I absolutely love feve delicieuse but on my girlfriend. I find it too feminine on my skin but on her it's magical!

[@martydrury1234]

Awesome Big Finish reference.

[@SoulfulColors]

Long time no see the legendary Christian Diop bottle, I'm glad it is doing fine !

[@NazgulfromLOTR]

Judging by the background sounds, this was filmed in Edinburgh, Ukraine :P sorry for the dark humor!

[@edgardozara97]

I hope PDM would consider making a Herod exclusif. It really smells good but a little too weak for a winter frag.

[@Realm47]

Then just replace it with tobacco vanille, they both smell the same

[@troy5084]

⁠@@Realm47I own both and don’t really get that. Herod is much darker and smokier due to the incense. TV has a stronger smell of vanilla and resembles a vanilla chai latte, to me. TV performance blows Herod out of the water, however

[@papascent6877]

killing it with JTC400 and Herod off the top. Stay out of my collection George!

[@mitchelluk1445]

I actually bought on your recommendation tom ford's noir extreme I tried in a packed selfridges and said out loud "oh I can actually smell the horse shit comparison " 😂 I love it though its a beautiful fragrance

[@beaver6d9]

Pixel gang!

[@kzr83]

Smooth oud? I shall call you ... Smoud. Terrible, I know.

[@mdtsinha]

George, if that's your take on Alien Pus perfumes, wait till you hear about Chicken eggs being menstrual discharge! You'd still eat it anyway, right? It's all contextual mate..

[@louiecarrington2509]

You didnt even put them in the description so we can know where to buy them.

[@edutottenham]

Why did he turn orange in the last videos?

[@RichMitch]

Is that a towel or a blanket?

[@sibyl999]

You've got oud wrong!! When the agarwood tree gets a FUNGAL infection, the tree produces a RESIN not a pus for crying out loud. I am crazy about oud and I protect it from those that insult it. I love Oud Palao and it was one of my first. I HATE Oud Satin Mood and my number one is Malesia by Xerjoff. That is a very sexy fragrance and I get amazed compliments, plus my son liked to wear it when he was 7. Your comment on oud made me really sad- especially since sometimes I enjoy your picks. Rose D'Arabie, Scorpion (by Odyon) and Scherzo are all much better than Oud Satin Mood whose rose makes me gag.

[@ndhaon91]

So you're saying the tree produces a funky oozy liquid in response to infection... Kind of like the human body produces a funky oozy liquid in response to infection? Sounds like the oud-puss analogy is exactly right.

[@RamRegalia-vf8td]

Try Al Haramain Golden Oud,Mancera Black to Black,Montale Oud Edition,Montale Wood On Fire etc.Those are great Ouds that aren't too rosey

[@the.Aruarian]

Top 10 scents that are guaranteed to get you cuffed. And honestly, the weirdness of Oud doesn’t even compare to ambergris or god damn natural musks.

[@Hawk-Tuah-on-that-thang]

Hey, you said that this Top 10 nonsense should be stopped.

[@profound369]

He also said that this is the kind of videos youtube naturally promotes and its a shame the honest ones have to become victim to that but unfortunately he's gotta play along to become more well known.

[@ToTheWind]

I thought I was watching the beginning of an episode of Steptoe & Son.

[@WhoCares69]

Christian Diop…. Another EBay bargain from Russia 🇷🇺 😂😂. Love Feve. Like 1899 from Histoire De Parfums more than Spicebomb Extreme , bit classier.

[@Ashes-9]

You are funny 😂

[@samyyyyyyy]

Orange-Man-Bad

[@user-wq1cr3uc7w]

First!!!😊😊mery Christmas 🎄

[@benn5471]

patreon gang rise up

[@TheFragranceApprentice]

[@Mi3940]

Imagine you watched such great content and then curly perfume's suddenly came from nowhere puting heavy MAKE UP HOLDING A CUP OF coffee put yor BALLS into the right position get all the views subscriber's and comments and"FLY"and THIS MAN sitting all cold sitting outside with all his stuff 😂🤦✌️

[@MillaQ9999]

You look very red. You should adjust you color settings🤔😭😭😭

[@marklopez3459]

Poor guy is frost red lol

[@Crewby]

Christian Doo-Wop (that thing)

[@01bigtrev]

Sounds like early morning dustbins giving it a shake 😂

[@MuddyGreenMonster]

Still didn't get to see your frozen ballz! Maybe next year?

[@riseuplight]

What better way to celebrate Christmas than to wear a fragrance whose namesake is that of the king who ordered the death of Jesus

[@SHEPARD22]

He’s a prick but he’s alright.

[@rogerlid2118]

Herod?? It has no performance at all!! Please, do NOT listen to this ridiculous recommendation from this guy!!

[@RambleStorm]

He may have an older batch of Herod ( those were much better performing than current formulations - he might have given that disclaimer maybe he forgot idk idc ) that being said that's not the reason I won't be following his advice, it's just as this is a subjective hobby and our tastes just don't align.

[@--------RR007----------]

Same list as the last ten videos. Downvote.

[@Joshua_Nikolai]

Oud and Ambergris. Gross.
