*Thank you Steven*. How I *love Alien*... and I have the Absolute as well, precious it is. You have such excellent taste in Fragrance. It is always a pleasure to learn your viewpoint, as your knowledge is vast and always expanding...... I can imagine your Wife, Family, Friends, hanging around with you, and just being SO Happy to be with such a Great guy ! I know you write music and I will check it out. Oh wow I just remembered years ago when you were playing with Carlos in that "Garage Band"... that was a Blast and Super Cool ! *Did I dream this* ? hehe ~ Best Always Steven ~ More of these 'affordable fragrances' Please ~ Suse & Crew *Vancouver ISLAND BC CANADA* ~*~
I love these videos that you do. I am very impressed by how you keep track of all your fragrances and how each one smells. I would love to know how big your collection is, and how on earth you go about making a choice daily on what to wear😇
The man is a school teacher. He HAS to be organized. He's also one of the best in pronouncing the names correctly of perfumes, notes, brands... He speaks fluent English that is easy to understand. And he seems like a very nice person. He doesn't go into a cringy "character" like other TH-cam reviewers. He's himself. AND! he knows what he's talking about. 10 rating!
Good tips. I was in Milan airport this week - the biggest Duty Free area ever. But there was no way I was going to pay €200+ for a fragrance. Currently I wear Mugler Angel and get loads of compliments on it.😍
I bought three Dossier perfumes, but I'm not willing to pay that much for less than 2.7 ounces with that simple design in their bottles. Don't get me wrong, I like the simplicity of their bottles, but not for the price. And don't get me started with The Dua brand. Expensive for less than what Arabian perfumes offer.
@@MegaSnakegirl sorry, I didn't mean to sound like a have a political position. I'm asking as a foreigner who buys colognes from The USA and wonder if the increase on the prices was because of the new policies taken. Sorry if I led you in the wrong direction.
Not really. Unless you have access to a chemistry lab to test and compare niche vs. clones, you're probably getting some of the same ingredients on both options. Of course, expensive companies will tell you they only use high quality stuff. Again, how do we know? Their main objective is to sell their product and to get the highest profit. I'm not saying ALL companies are like this, but don't use the mindframe of "if it's expensive, it must be good". You'd be surprised what the markup is on them. They sell high because people are willing to pay for it. Put a price tag of $400 on the best Lattafa in a different bottle, and you will get buyers who will swear it's high quality stuff.
Alien 💜 and I have actually gifted the Dossier Version as gifts
Love affordable dupes!!!! Also, Arabian fragrances! 🎉

Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
I have only heard of some of these from watching you🎉Nice review!

Thanks for sharing these fragrances 🙌🏽🙌🏽🤩
Thanks for introducing alternatives
👍👍👌👌🌹🌹💚
Thank you 😊 ❤ love your videos
The same reason I buy Neroli Portofino & the same dissapointment 😅
Great list! Would say that SNOI could be swapped for Hawas Black if you want less oak moss and smoke...
Hey Steven, let's see what made the list

Hawas Black is TOP!
Good work
Thank you so much 😀
Im gonna have to check out that Nikos
Do you have anything comparable to portofino 97? I have a sample & ❤ it, but at 200 a bottle, IDK 🤷♀️
Excellent
Thank you so much, Andy!
We're definitely not going to get that price point anymore
Because of Trump?

Steven, have you tried Merchants of Venice Vetician Blue Intense? It’s a smokey version of Aventus. It’s really nice. I love the Aventus DNA.
If I didn't subscribe to your channel and watch your videos, I'd have so much money instead of perfumes, lol.
You get what you pay for in general. I don't buy cheap or copy.
