Just bought Plum Japonais from ScentSplit. They packaged that bottle worse than their 9ml decants, bottle was warm upon arrival. Great smell but compromised surely. Smokey Plum might be worth getting
Thanks again for introducing me to this house! I now own Smokey Plum, Neon Orange, Zevo, Eyes, Abha, and Athena! Did you know this company is owned by Nilafar du Nil? Love both of these houses, all thanks to you! Cheers! 🎉🎉🎉😊
I have not experienced any of these, the originals or the dupes. I put Smokey Plum and Abha on my list as they sound delicious and I like beastly fragrances. Thank you for these comps, Sebastian!🎉🎉
Been a fan of Envy but as soon as I finished a bottle, I couldn't fine one anywhere...huge thanks to this vdo Sebastian 🙏🏻🥳 Now I just have to look for a replacement of Giorgio for Men Special Reserve VIP that I wore in my high school years 😩
I purchased two bottles of "Smokey Plum" and all to 4, 5 and 10 ml bottles of "Plum Japonais" I could find on line until I had 50ml. Purchased a perfume empty bottle on Amaxon, and I'm good to go. Thanks Sebastián.
Hey Sebastian! Lucky for me a snagged a bottle of Envy not too long ago for about 90$ 50ml and I still love it! not too complex really does smell like the 90's! About Ultra Zest - is really good, best flanker after Angel Man. Hard to get but I got a bottle of tester and one new in the box :) will hold on to it for as long as I can ha ha
Need the S&M accoutrements to be duped for Origami as well, I think. (Obviously - I hope - kidding; presentation is not a priority). Great video topic, great descriptions as usual. Thanks, Sebastian.
I actually have Criminal of Love and also have the Some like it Hot! Also have a couple of the Some like it Hot in a newer package! I do have a small decant of Plum Japonais and I’m trying not to use it. 🥺. I hope they do bring this back in the original blend!
Maybe you could do an alternative for Zenga’s Florintine Iris. It’s a really nice fabric softener iris violet combo that was just discontinued and I am bummed because it’s really grown on me.
I was hoping there was another alternative to Ultra Zest. Neon Orange is ok but it only maybe 75-80% similar and it doesn't last nearly as long as Ultra Zest.
Actually they still make it but now it's moved into the Collection Extraordinaire bottles and only selling in their Paris boutique. You can see a post here I did on Instagram: instagram.com/p/CqGr-Q8j3s3/ I did shoot a video too and that should air soon.
Jealous you pulled out a full bottle of Gucci Envy. Best fragrance. The one I use that comes close is from house of Floris called Santal. Not the new intense version but the old school 2000's Floris Santal EDT. Not the same but comes close to Envy
I learned about Plum Japonais through of this Chanel. I haven’t tried Athena’s take on it, but for now my plum fix has been satisfied via Xerjoff’s Muse.
Thank the gods that this company does GUCCI ENVY FOR MEN. That is my ultimate fragrance that I have been searching for and even wrote to dupe companies for to please start making it. And now here it is. Thank you for reviewing it. !!!!
Dior Homme Parfum launched in 2014 and I never saw a silver stem for that. I experienced it on its first launch in 2014 and bought my first bottles in December 2014. I’ve been wearing it since then you might be referring to the original Dior Homme which came in a silver stem, never smelled that one unfortunately.
It is interesting, that perfumes are being reformulated because they contain cancer causing substances but they continue to use tobacco, a known carcinogen, in fragramces.
They use both flowers and leaves. Tabacco contains many harmful ingredients besides nicotine. They try to remove the nicotine and other harmful components but they cannot remove it all. @@isobel64

You know very well how happy we are with your opinion of our perfumes. Thank you

Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day

Yes I'm familiar with the brand, great fragrances!! Thanks for the video Sebastian!!!
I've owned a number of Athena fragrances. Currently making my way through Leo.

Great video. I miss Gucci Envy! I remember the lover who used it.
Gonna try their discovery set. 🌹
De Flore was an instant love
Envy’s a legend

love discontinued fragrances 💎
Alternative for Safran Troublant? Not many sweet, gourmandish takes on saffron available

Please review the new Mugler A*Men Fantasm
Love plum japonais! My opinion, Tom ford hasn’t produced anything better since! Can someone tell me if the alternative lasts a decent time? Thanks
I was hoping there was another alternative to Ultra Zest. Neon Orange is ok but it only maybe 75-80% similar and it doesn't last nearly as long as Ultra Zest.
I can't find another one sadly! :(
So many great fragrances 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
So little money 😂😂😂
they have alternative for mfk fragrance the one with the civet that u like … i own it and it is amazing
What’s the best alternative for A*Men Pure Malt? Loved this fragrance. Hope they bring it back
I’ll have to do a video on all the Mugler Fragrances I can find an alternative to
Fragrance World's Star Man Nebula
Never heard of Athena, are there other feminine fragrances you would recommend from this house?
Is there an alternative to the og van Cleef & arpels for man? I loved that stuff!

@@ThePerfumeGuy Great! Thank you. One more reason to go to Paris!
My list of Disco frags which I am in constant search for possible dupes..
Gucci Rush-Men
Armani Eau pour Homme
Krizia Men
Suggestions?

Does anyone know an alternative for "L de Lolita Lempicka"?
Are you thinking of Sunny Delight or Tampico Punch?
Yes Sunny Delight

Can you tell me a perfume similar to Dior's Fève Délicieuse? I'm looking for a similar perfume because it's not available in Japan.
You can try this list: th-cam.com/video/6-_qqLlJXMc/w-d-xo.html nothing is exactly identical but those should satisfy!!
@@ThePerfumeGuy Thanks ^ ^
Do you know of anything that comes close to the original Opium?
Pour Homme or Pour Femme? I haven't found anything close to the original Pour Homme. But unfortunately haven't been looking. I should.
Pour Femme @@ThePerfumeGuy

IMO Floris Santal is better

Have you ever smelt the original Dior Homme Pafum (silver stem)

I heard that iris torrefe is getting discontinued🥲
Yes it’s gotten the ax already. Oud Khol, Iris Torrefie Bois Mysterieux are all gone!
