I know you said not to mention you in the comments, but “Cacique” is an indigenous word that means “leader of the tribe”, and it is pronounced something like “kaSSIq” (emphasys on the SSI). Indigenous words are quite common here in Brazil where I live. Congrats on the quality of your content, George. I’d like to ask you for a reccomendation: for a hot weather country like mine, would you rather pick Oligarch or Burlington 1819 for someone that wants to get in the house of Roja? Cheers m8!
Dude if the clone house makes a good fragrance, then the clone house makes a good fragrance. If the great value milk tastes the same as the brand name milk for cheaper, Ill go great value. Also, the Royal Equestrian from Alexandria is fucking bananas compared to Layton, and I would choose it over Layton any day of the week.
DO NOT. Think. That I don't see Potion Royal Black sitting right there George. Not a rose fan eh? 😛 A relative trajedy that DSquared axed that one; but hey, they brought He Wood back recently in "Original Wood", so why not the Potion line? Ambers are IN atm. A unique description of Signature Rose!
Hey fragrance apprentice! I know you're counting down to your final video, but just stopping by because I've come to the end of my own personal fragrance journey. Yep, this means I won't be buying fragrances any more, though of course the odd Christmas gift from someone else can't be avoided. I also have to avoid fragrance channels to not tempt myself. Shit is just wild and honestly too expensive. Fragrance companies have been castrated and it's hard to find a fragrance with a half decent performance. Now it's the norm for fragrances to last 3-5 hours, yet prices increase, which is hardly fair. Any way, I will make a stop by when you hit your final video. Take care!
Why would you be hesitant to recommend Agar when you so heavily recommended Mont Blanc Explorer? Is there a difference between the two that I’m missing, because as far as I’m aware they are both just straight up clones.
@@DTJ2024 I bought milestone last summer. It's quite strong, lasts a long time, and it's not a safe blind buy. Very unique. Not picking up watermelon, but there is a salty accord. It's not my favorite tbh but it's not bad. Never smelled MI. Oh, and curry powder? Lol not even close. I don't even understand how someone would think that. It's not spicy at all.
I tried to get the Graham perfume when you first recommended it. It wasn’t available. the only thing I got is a daily advertisement email from them that I delete every morning when I check my emails.
George I saw you on Mr Smelly's channel talking about how Olivier Creed wasn't really the perfumer for Creed, and it's the same with Roja Dove. It's all a big con.
It's so wonderful to see you, your really looking good. I've enjoyed your work for the past several years. Great job mate. From Cincinnati Ohio in the states.
Just out of curiosity please review some popular frags from the house of Rasasi. they are very popular in South Asia and the Middle East. It's a house in Dubai. Some popular frags are Rasasi Hawas, Dareej and Shuhrah.
I tried a sample of Oligarch. The first time I smelled it, the opening was mind blowing but after wearing it a few times I was disappointed that I didn't have the same reaction & the something about the dry down was annoying to me. I had to give it a pass. Waiting on Scandal cologne sample in the mail. Wish me luck
I haven't gotten disappointed with any of your recommendations so..I smelled oud wood..I love it(I like oid frangance in general)...I bought versace oud noir via others recommendations..it's ok..nothing to much I guess I will get Agar next then 😅😅😅 before I save to buy oud wood one day
Received Apex today. Roja knocked it out of the park. It is the modern day alpha male fragrance like Cosmair Polo was to people in the 80s. The opening is a fresh, juicy citrus. Then it morphs into a Sauvage Elixir smell. Then it morphs again into a hybrid of Elixir and Fetish Pour Homme (animalic). Then elements of Cosmair Polo comes out and this scent is stunning. Then an almost candy Valentine’s Day heart note comes out. This scent keeps changing and really keeps you interested. I absolutely love it! However, it did not last that long on my skin. Other than that it is a total winner. You will feel confident wearing this scent. Elegant, mature and sexy.
I have about 399 frags (niche and designer) and among them I have DUA and Alexandria. First of all the clone houses have let me try blind buy very expensive niche (continued and discontinued) that (even though I'm a millionaire... lets face it even the most expensive frags material costs might cost $20 or $30 dollars and then they charge hundreds so they are not exactly saints) I would never have forked out huge sums for. Some of these I've loved and went on to get the real thing. Some I found were better than the original and/or better performers. I've never been a fan of Aventus but I discovered that Alexandria had a clone of their original fragrance that I fell in love with and would not have discovered otherwise. Finally all the niche and designers are always coping others but making little changes in the formula so they can pretend to be innocent. Just think of all the "interpretations" of Aventus, 540, Invictus, and so on before you act high and mighty about owning clones.
Some reviews were / are very harsh on GG EDP… Which I can’t really tell why.. It’s a perfect example of what an EDP should be… It’s darker, richer, has the original dna, has some new twists to it.. I really like it.. And it’s not like it’s something you can only wear during cold months.. very versatile still.. I dig it…

"Why did I buy this? Because I never had it."
My excuse for buying all of my fragrances!
It's pronounced Oligark, i think
Correct
My favourite reviewer of all time. The old set brings back wonderful memories.

Only an Englishman from Manchester could describe 12c as ‘quite hot’ 😂
I admire your fortitude sir.

You mispronounced oligarch. The c h sounds like a k
Haha it’s fuckin funny how you say Cacique- it’s more like Kazeeke
Bangin job as always, George! Nice to see you here using the “old set”. Nobody does it like you!!!🔥
Live from Edinburgh prison
Perfume parlours version of oud wood is just as good and even cheaper. I find it lasts and lasts on my skin too.
nobody: .....
George: Oligarč
:D
its Oligarch George. Like chorus.
Glad you came around on Le Male Le Parfum I think it’s one of the best date night scents on the market right now. I always get compliments on that one
The hype is well deserved.
Jeez that’s a lot of sprays
Mahatma Gandhi - Aldi Version… some of my favourite teachings of all time.
Best frag TH-camr in game bar none

Use Google Translator to know how to pronounce "Cacique". Try it on latin spanish. It should be like "Kazikeh". It means "Chieftain".
This guy looks like Harry McEntire and Sounds like Aethelwold!
Man in Black is extremely masquelin. It's like an strong unforgiving Pirate dressed in leather
Why would you be hesitant to recommend Agar when you so heavily recommended Mont Blanc Explorer? Is there a difference between the two that I’m missing, because as far as I’m aware they are both just straight up clones.
Cacique (Kah-See-Kay), lol.
It's Taino for chief.
In your honor, I just ordered 100ml Millésime Impérial (for a 139 EUR), cant wait to compare it to Milestone
Is milestone good? And does it have that watermelon note?
As others say it smells like curry powder
@@DTJ2024 who better to answer that, than: th-cam.com/video/znRtvDPiL_M/w-d-xo.html
@@MickBenjamins lol - I’ve watched every review of milestone on TH-cam, Inc George’s - But just wanted a non reviewers opinion 😎
@@DTJ2024 I bought milestone last summer. It's quite strong, lasts a long time, and it's not a safe blind buy. Very unique. Not picking up watermelon, but there is a salty accord.

@@DTJ2024 It's impressive. Both the scent *and* price. Synthetic though. If money isn't an issue, get MI.
What does ‘fotitude’ mean? Couldn’t find it in the Oxford… 🤔
courage in pain or adversity
@@brianhopkins2097 I think that's "fortitude"
some people live for moments like this smh
Is there a difference between Oligarch EDP and the new Oligarch Parfum? I can't seem to find many reviews on the Parfum concentration.
I tried to get the Graham perfume when you first recommended it. It wasn’t available. the only thing I got is a daily advertisement email from them that I delete every morning when I check my emails.
Don't feel guilty recommending a clone.
George I saw you on Mr Smelly's channel talking about how Olivier Creed wasn't really the perfumer for Creed, and it's the same with Roja Dove. It's all a big con.
Please review salvatore ferragamo leather intense
Great video. Got to try most of these
Going full Curly on that Agar.....

la yuqawam and hawas are definitely very popular so there are many TH-cam reviews on those two
@@Yos115 yeah there are many. I want a review from George. George is a storyteller rather than a blunt review.
Awesome video
Where can i get alexandria agar?
guity black is better
Jpg is 🔥🔥🔥
So glad George came around to it🙏🏽👍🏼😍✨
To me, it beats the hell out of YSL Y le Parfum
You are bangin M8!
Fotitude or Fortitude?
Very Nice George!
Looking good bro 😎
Read it CASIQUE... google translator--》audio》》play-》👌
"legit bagin m8" 😂🇬🇧

I had to give it a pass. Waiting on Scandal cologne sample in the mail. Wish me luck
I like Scandal PC. Very manly
Why did you spray 9 sprays on the left side, and 3 on the right? Lol The apprentice has become the novice
what do you think George about bvlgari man black orient ??
Tom Ford in Niche??
Erm... Yeah?
I have a theory that George just enjoys saying PARFAMB, hence why he enjoys the parfum versions most of each line...
I haven't gotten disappointed with any of your recommendations so..I smelled oud wood..I love it(I like oid frangance in general)...I bought versace oud noir via others recommendations..it's ok..nothing to much I guess I will get Agar next then 😅😅😅 before I save to buy oud wood one day
Literally hurt my neck laughing at Ghandis quote… sublime delivery big man 👍🏻👍🏻🤪😂

I get the same vibe from Signature Rose & Tabac with that buttery popcorn smell. Not a fan of the buttery scent, but love the other parts about it.
Cacique pronunciation: CAH-SEAK
I loved the latest location, with the fragrances in front visible on the table. Hope the new one will look similar 😎
Just wanted to say the ad in the middle was for sauvage elixir lol
you made me laugh so hard.. and you know at which part of the video
I COULDVE SWORN YOU SAID YOU HATE LE MALE LE PARFUM WHAT
Every nation has an oligarch...if not by name..
Great video. Will have to check out that oud wood clone 😛😛
Signature Rosé is fantastic 👍
You look sharp! You cut that awful long hair! Much better look and you look so much younger.
A rose by any other name 🌹
Oligarch FTW!

Bangin vid m8👊
I think you were right about le male le Parfum, i think it's a terrible release
Some reviews were / are very harsh on GG EDP… Which I can’t really tell why..
It’s a perfect example of what an EDP should be…
It’s darker, richer, has the original dna, has some new twists to it..
I really like it.. And it’s not like it’s something you can only wear during cold months.. very versatile still..
I dig it…
Great list with a lot of great choices in there and have a blessed night
I feel like Alexandria fragrances does masterful work. Nostalgia, their homage to Oud Satin Mood, is my latest obsession. Great list.
CACIQUE = kah-zeeh-kay
I hear the word "banger" in reference to fragrance and my eyes roll straight out of my head. FragBros™ are starting to corrupt you. 😨
Banger is British slang as far as I'm aware. I thought fragbros are American?
