Brother Ramsey, we will have his number 5. Enjoy...

[@tzfragrance]

That new Heeley release probably will be on my short list for the upcoming spring season!

[@RichMitch]

Excited to watch that!

[@aminrawjee7957]

Hi Rich, a fantastic list. Well curated. Best.

[@RichMitch]

Thank you sir 🙏🏻

Meltmyheart by strangelove NYC

[@V.Odin1]

Woop finally dropped! Been excited for this video, super quality list as expected, keep up the great stuff Rich.

[@RichMitch]

Thank you!

[@livingwithghosts543]

Heeley is great. It's thanks to you and your praise that I own Cologne Officianle. I also picked up Heeley Hippie Rose and Esprit du Tigre. Both are great, especially Esprit du Tigre. It is a much more unique and complex Creed Viking.

[@RichMitch]

Nice, I am glad you enjoyed Cologne Offincinale, I have heard of the other two but I haven't tried them yet

[@livingwithghosts543]

@@RichMitch Hopefully they will be in your discovery kit. Thanks for all the great content!

[@RichMitch]

@@livingwithghosts543 thank _you_ for watching mate!

[@tzfragrance]

Thanks for sharing this, Mitch! Appreciate you putting us onto these gems. Definitely haven't heard of any of these before. A few of the brands I've come across but glad to have these on my radar! LOVE myrrh as a note, so that Myrrhe Ardente is definitely something I'll try to hunt down after seeing that short term dent! WOW! Much love Mitch!

[@RichMitch]

Thanks man! Gotta be patient with the myrrhe Ardente but it's well worth it. Can't believe that it was the one they discontinued! 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@lordcharfield]

Great list! Many thanks 🙏

[@RichMitch]

Thank you m'lord 🎩

[@stevenbrett2809]

I bought the heeley on your recommendation. Absolutely love it. Thankyou

[@RichMitch]

Fantastic and I'm relieved you like it lol 😄

[@saabreplay7553]

Ma liberté yes, one of the most wonderful smelling perfumes ever made

[@RichMitch]

It's amazing!

[@carlandersson2778]

No Nexin or Patchouli Noisette you absolute mad duck 🦆 Really good pick ups. Melt My Heart suprised me just how much you liked it.

[@RichMitch]

It was a crowded and competitive field this year. I was surprised by meltmyheart too! Shocking how it has crept up the rankings

[@cowboycrunchies]

Thoroughly enjoyed Rich! Nice pickups there. 👍

[@RichMitch]

Thanks cowboy 🤠

[@kristinaveskovska]

thank u for another enjoyable video! :) Looking forward to the next live stream! 🦆

[@RichMitch]

Cheers Kristina 🙏🏻

[@adrianpocea2287]

Awesome. Tour de force performance and description s

[@RichMitch]

Thank you very much!

[@shallbee.]

Filippo Sorcinelli cap brexited Cologne officinale has really impressed me, probably a bit too masculine for myself, but I'll give it a proper testing in the summer. I was surprised how well it made.

[@RichMitch]

The heeley was amazing, one of the best soapy fragrances I've smelled and it's a long and competitive list!

[@manlyscents]

Had a great time watching this 👏

[@RichMitch]

I'm glad, thanks man

[@flavasauce8945]

Wonderful list!!! Looking forward to the 30 honorable mentions. 😂🎉

[@RichMitch]

[@DedekMartin]

You sound much better Mitch!

[@RichMitch]

Thank you mate, feeling good!

[@fragranceprofile9657]

Nice list

[@RichMitch]

Thanks!

[@EyeByBrian]

Solid list! Did you not pick up Santal de Mysore in ‘23? Didn’t make the cut? That gorgeous concoction is absolutely in the upper pantheon of my very large SL collection. Even the current bell jar version is a stunner. I demand a recount. 😂

[@RichMitch]

😂😂😂 it was considered at length, I can assure you. I might wear it tomorrow now you've mentioned it... I may or may not have secured a serge haul over the last couple of days, look out for that one!

[@BobbyDior]

Big girl bottle of Ma Liberte and the tasseled Invasion Barbare were certainly memorable for me! Nothing wrong with lists and bigger crowds of watchers curious to see your content. The internet is the world's biggest popularity contest, yes. (still should've had a duck smoking a stogie in the lower right of huuge thumbnail!;))

[@RichMitch]

😂😂😂 I'd like more of the right subs, not just numbers for the sake of it. 1 Bob is better than 1000 clone wankers

[@BobbyDior]

I hear you but, first you gotta get the eyes drawn in then subs is different story (they weed themselves out). The algo loves the title, the content is still the "hard ass" creator...You beat them at their own game. Big views in less than one day. Maybe close to a record in our corner of community! @@RichMitch

[@RichMitch]

@@BobbyDior you're right, I just wanna proceed with caution

[@rabbit7able792]

2 very small sprays patou. Just picked up 1987 Antaeus very cheap 😂

[@justaddlight]

Luckily, gorilla glue solves the problem of the insert coming out of the cap. Just apply it using vertical lines on the insert not the cap and let it dry upside-down. I've had super glue fail on me twice because it was too watery, but gorilla seems to get the job done. I'm with you on the Heeley!

[@RichMitch]

Excellent advice, I'm on it. Interestingly, my friend had his appointment at the tattoo artist's cancelled yesterday as someone had put super glue in their locks!

[@justaddlight]

@@RichMitch 😬 I know a friend who tried that prank on someone when I was a kid. Replaced the liquid in his dad's car lock de-icer with super glue. Let's just say his butt hasn't been the same since.

[@Polpofemo_5]

A Mitchard top ten?!? Oh, my quack!

[@RichMitch]

It's about time!

[@FleetStBarber]

Hey Mitch! I saw that Cologne Officinale and it made me think of Francesca Bianchi's Etruscan Water, have you tried that one??

[@RichMitch]

I think I have tried it but I can't remember it, sorry man! What's it like?

[@FleetStBarber]

Etruscan Water is like you said with Officinale, a little bit ambery, green, it starts with some citrus but then goes to an 80s, 90s oakmoss chypre territory. I find it elegant with an interesting evolution to it. It doesn't go the soapy route like you mentioned with Officinale though.@@RichMitch

[@RichMitch]

@@FleetStBarber you think I should get some Bianchi samples again and give them another go?

[@FleetStBarber]

I do. You could even roast me on your channel if you hate them lol! No, I'll tell you that my faves are The Dark Side, The Black Knight (Black Knight is pretty amazing especially all the way through it) and I really like Etruscan Water. There are some that are a bit too much of that FB dna. Like the 2 Sex and the Sea and Tyger Tyger, and Lost in Heaven are just too much.@@RichMitch

[@RichMitch]

@@FleetStBarber 😂😂😂 I wouldn't roast ya lol. I do like a good suggestion and sample sets are always fun and enlightening, even if you don't like them. I reckon there's not enough attention paid in fragcomm to fragrances, notes and styles that we don't like... Everything is "love" and "must have" but that's not reality

Absolutely right mate!

[@dusanninic5372]

So, in your opinion, Peau d' Espagne is actually a Russian leather, not Spanish ?

[@RichMitch]

It's got the Spanish leather but the russian treatment imo, big soapy birch

[@dusanninic5372]

​@@RichMitch Thank you mate. I'll find it for Ramsey and myself.

[@fliss-sniffs-stuff]

Annick Goutal Les Orientalists is the deal - Ambre Fetiche, Incense Flambouyant are still in the main line. They STUPIDLY discontinued Myrrh Ardent because when they sold the house they lost all sense! 😂

[@RichMitch]

Rah! Who was it sold to?

[@fliss-sniffs-stuff]

Heeley is a much underrated house I reckon. Three of my most worn in 2023 were Heeley! So so solid. Not a single dud - even if they aren’t all for you, you can’t deny they are doing good shit!

[@RichMitch]

They're an immense house! I should be getting a sample set this year 👀
