Your Worries About Fragrance Reformulations End Here.

Welcome to the fifth episode of my satirical series called "What You Think You Smell Like".
My primary goal of this series is very clear: to bring to light the (in my opinion) silly pursuits and philosophies that seem to dominate the fragrance space on KZbin. Not throwing shade at anyone's hustle...just believing that we can do better.
This episode is all about how quickly the slope can get slippery when we start obsessing over fragrance reformulations...many people go out of their way to acquire multiple bottles of their favorite fragrance, so that they may cherish it in its glory and avoid being disappointed...but is this necessary?
There is nothing wrong with wanting more of a good thing...but we may not even need the excess. You will most likely never reach even that 3rd bottle of your holy grail batch of any fragrance. Your already used bottle may last you longer than you think, especially if your collection continues to grow with time and you strive to wear something new each day.
Just some things to think about--but do you! ✌🏾
Let me know what you think of this episode down in the comments!

Dude I’m dieing😂😂😂 “grip groins & drench loins” belongs on a t-shirt and I needed it yesterday. “Brody bro.” Love it.

[@noizychild]

For sure

[@sergiom5907]

I'm so glad I never went down the Aventus batch rabbit hole. Thanks for making light of how ridiculous it must seem to non-fragheads.

[@burner27]

When he said grip groins and drench loins, I lost it. My family thought I was nuts.

[@RockstarFisheye]

LMFAO me too

[@stayfreshproductions]

🤣

[@thewindowguy43]

I am so grateful that I just got into fragrance buying about 3 years ago, I didn't get to do the old batches and formulations, basically all I do is, I'll try a cologne if I like the way it smells on me I'll buy it, I don't look at batches or anything like that if it smells good to you then wear it, it doesn't matter where it came from

[@WhiteRangerTP]

Sounds simple, but check this out. I tried 1 million parfum twice before buying it. Different tester bottles from different stores and i loved it. Stayed on me for ever and the scent was amazing. So i said great, i am buying. I bought a bottle and suddenly not only it doesnt last that long, but after 1 hour it dries down to a weird scent that i dont really like, it was not the case when i tested it, and no its not a fake bottle. So i check things out and i see that what i bought is a march 2023 batch which means the recent ones. So now what? I cant find official information about reformulation with 1 million parfum, but it is what it is. So just spraying, liking and buying can lead to a mistake. You want a fragrance, you buy it, but its not what you wanted so after paying money, you still dont have the fragrance. How do you avoid it? At least try to do some minor research if the fragrance was reformulated or not and check the baches accordingly, otherwise you may find yourself fooled.

[@ericoliver5637]

This video makes me realize I been done with the fragrance game for a while now, I got to about 50 bottles and started thinking how ridiculous it is to have all these different fragrances and all that. I realize I only need 5-6 tops.

[@riseuplight]

That's nothing. Try buying 3-5 bottles of the exact same fragrance

Thank you Fred! I appreciate you.

[@Eduardo328]

I have been using Aventus for several years one bottle after another. That said, in January I bought another one to replace what I had finished and it came completely watery, much worse than what I had dried before. For the amount spent, this is unacceptable. I use, or used, as a signature perfume, but after two disappointments I will change my signature to other brands like Xerjoff, Perfume du Bois, Boadicea and so on.

[@chazz6348]

I agree completely

[@mikaiyelmiah8538]

Creed was bought out by a equity firm called BlackRock in 2020. They had keep the cost down and certain ingredients were removed. Same thing happened to MFK few years back.

[@iStorm-my5fp]

@@stayfreshproductions what do you think is the best way to smell niche frags? I drove an hour to the nearest Neiman and Marcius and the staff would not leave me alone... I couldn't smell anything in peace without someone try to show me sonething or introducing me to other sales people. Neatly 40 mins and 4 sales people I left

[@stayfreshproductions]

@@iStorm-my5fp that is ridiculous, and I’ve totally been there. Going to major department stores are seldom the way to go. Unless you have a small boutique or shop you can visit, it’s unfortunately hard to find a peaceful experience smelling fragrances. The only other option is to be stern with SA’s and tell them that you want to spend some time discovering in your own. But I know that’s not always easy to do

[@keno18]

You need to move to Hollywood bud. That phrase will be in my head all week. Great performance the other night. Thanks for playing my request.

Your latest videos are what we all need at this point. Able to make a mockery but still staying serious… if I’m making any sense. The conversations I used to see in gent scents group were so fucking ridiculous! I’m glad I got booted out for some stupid bullshit. All I’m in is TLTG and it’s so much more laid back and not full of D-Bags.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

Just another quality issue for Creed OMHO. I don’t wear nor have I ever worn this one. I find searching for clones pretty amusing as well. I have issues about reformulations and discontinued fragrances and nightmares about reissued scents. I have shut the door on most of them. However, If I ever get a chance to purchase any Gobin Daude again, I will buy😂😂😂

[@SalemPhiladelphia]

😂😂😂😂 you should do more of these skits lol. It’s different from everyone else bro. Honestly

[@javierayala4152]

You should do this reality videos more often Dr Copeland, I know many of us see ourselves in this characters. You killed it Dr Copeland

[@silentsir2446]

I already know this is finna be hilarious. The endless speculation over reformulations has become a complete circus

[@janm3531]

Why? What about classics like eau sauvage from dior or pour monsieur by givenchy... Of course they got reformulated

[@silentsir2446]

@@janm3531 unless I see a public notification from the fragrance house or manufacturer that a fragrance has been reformulated, Im certainly not about to lay awake at night speculating about whether its been reformulated or not. I either like the smell when I test it or I dont. And if I dont, I dont buy it.

Only one spray each!
