At 8:36 I went to the mall today to specifically test Vanille Antique... and you are exactly right, it's very similar to MFK "Grand Soir" yet is significantly more expensive. I'm glad I didn't blind but VA as I already own GS. 😊
That's why you are the best. You express what I smell and can't put in to words, so precisely! ( I thought the same about the almost empty dusty bookcase)
Interesting play by Byredo. Really hoped the plum note would overtake my current fave by Scent of Woods “Plum & Cognac”. Sounds like it was good but not good enough for a spot on my interested list
I actually bought it months ago, it's in the queue to be unboxed. In typical robes08 styles I blind bought it so I can't tell you what I think yet but you'll see it unboxed on my channel!
@@robes08 Can’t wait! It’s absolutely beautiful. I get a ton of plum in my formulation (March 2022 batch). I’ve tried a clone of Plum Japonais and it definitely draws some similarities to it, but it’s entirely different as well. Vanille fatale has a balsamic note (probably from a mix of the barley and myrrh), boozy vanilla and plum. You’re gonna love it! 😄
I’ve tested this one 3 times. First: it’s like brown food coloring, so no white shirts. Two: it’s very basic vanilla which was sad. Three: if it were $120, sure, but it’s not. So I’m still no Byredo on my collectionS
Love vanilla in fragrances, but big NO for me, I was very interested in sampling this one but I trust your nose and after watching the review it's very clear that I don't need it. I try to avoid the: Very close to... or the You smell this before... 😬 Thanks for the Samplin' Marc!!!
That's weird. This sounds like Bibliotetch by the same house. It's supposed to smell like a library. It has plum up front, no sneaking, Woods, & supposed to have the smell of book paper. I don't get book paper, nor Do I get vanilla. I was looking for a classy plum that I could get away with during the summer, so it was full bottle worthy for me
People still come into this space with the wrong set of mind. They hear performance as in loud and about but I've always tend to like more closer to skin with wiffs coming in and out. Longevity of course longer the better but loudness...not what it's cracked up to be.
@@robes08 lol. Wouldn't want the brakes going out when you doing 100 mph on a test drive of a new fragrance 😂. Have you ever smelled profumum Roma ambra avrea? If so, which amber fragrance do you think it's better, Ambra avrea vs Grand Grand soir
Never smelled this and although this profile is a bit overdone, I enjoy it. I personally think grand soir is seriously overrated in terms of recognition and is a straight up lavender bomb that I can’t get jiggy with. Maybe if I wore more proper attire. 🪻💩💣
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
Oh, Vanille Antique was love at first sniff for me.

Appreciate it! It truly has that imagery
Thank you Marc!!
My pleasure!
I have mfk grand soir. I need to wear that more
Yes you do, it's a gem
I have absolue pour le soir and ciel de gum and i dont want to wear them because i don't want to run out 😭
Can you do a video of some your favorite Vanilla (spicy, woody, etc) fragrances? Have you sampled Encens Suave?
Hello. i fell off, but i back.... and still love your channel in this over saturated YT space of fragrance reviewers
Never fall off again, you were missed. Come back often
I wouldn't call those people "reviewers". More like marketing agents
Good work! 👏
Thanks
Scent of the day original first formulation of ck obsession a wonderful spicey amber that somehow works well even on hot day really good juice
Did you ever review Sellier ? I think you would like this one.
I have not but it's on the test list.

it was solid but familiar.
Hi Marc! I love vanilla fragrances too. My favourite is Vanille Fatale by Tom Ford. Do you own it or have you at least tried it? 😄

One Man's "on-tick" is another Man's "an-teek". 😉
💯
Im a huge fan of SDV as well. Its somehow magical in cooler weather. Ive smelled other scents that claim to be dupes, but none have the magic. To me.
no dupes! Get that OG
@robes08 I agree and I did.
Would you put this above grand soir?
I would not.

Truth
French canadian or not, this guy pronounces french words like no one else i've ever heard.
Meh
The passion for smelly oil soaked in alcohol and water. When one thinks about it.....a little odd.
Yep, we are all a little odd.
I think you need a new pair of glasses, those keep falling.
maybe they need an emergency brake feature.
