Very Interesting show. I will admit, I typed some emails zoned in and out (which I like better than other backgrounds). The Roja's at the end worth any price of admission. I forgot I was hunting one of those. Awesome! Cheers! 🎉🎉🎉😊
Hey Raffi. You have some interesting scents going there. I was waiting for the exorcism to begin with the cross fragrances. Very enjoyable video. Thanks for all your efforts.
You went to the LV store and managed to not try there best fragrance Imagination lol. Go back and try it it’s a beautiful tea cinnamon neroli ambroxan that lasts forever and gets a shitload of compliments.
Great list Raffi! A lot of these I have yet to try for myself. If you like Azzaro Chrome the OG, you should try Louis Vuitton Meteore. It's like a niched up, more modern version of Azzaro Chrome, but still managed to evoke some 90's nostalgia when I smelled it the first time. Personally like that one more than the hyped up Imagination. By the way could you mention where I can listen the 'Chairman of the bored' instrumental? Or perhaps share a link? Would be much appreciated, thanks!
Funny you mention not liking Rive Gauche-I prefer the inspiration, Azzaro Pour Homme for that kind of scent. Any other barbershop fougeres you enjoy? I’m torn between Rogue Bon Monsieur and Penhaligons Sartorial as my current favorites…
Azzaro PH is a favourite of mine too, though I've never tried a 'true vintage', the oldest one i have is from 2010. Bon Monsieur is EXCELLENT! I've been through 4 bottles of Drakkar Noir in the early 90s and I have a soft spot for Brut (the old versions). If you like Sartorial please check out MDCI Invasion Barbare because that's amazing
I'm only a few minutes in, but I would be curious about fragrance that you do think are good quality obtainable for 500 and under? Im fairly new to all this but Guerlain seems above average 🤔🍻
I think Roja does a good job (even though many of his are inspired by other frags), I also think that for the money, the Les Exclusifs line from Chanel is damn hard to beat
Clive christian make some fantastic fragrances there's a few I don't like town & Country is a masculine BR540 & I don't like that one. Rock rose is incredible I know you said you didn't like that one but it just smells so good. Hedonistic is still available I recently picked up a bottle that's my favourite from the brand. I also own blonde amber but actually prefer amberwood which is also really good.
@GrowingDownUnder it's a good one prefer rock rose & hedonistic but all are good. Like you say though it's similar to prada black which is much cheaper
@RaffiDiranBassclef yeah definitely worth picking up a bottle I got mine from les senteurs in London with a 10% discount it's expensive but I had to pick it up because its that good
21:25 I was waiting for you to hold that bottle up like you were trying to ward off a demon 😆
That stuff used to turn me into one 😆
@@RaffiDiranBassclef hahaha
@@RaffiDiranBassclef shit I was born in '98, kind of wish I could've experience that 90s optimism though haha

Appreciate the kind words. Sometimes we get forget that we're paying this price of admission with our time, so glad you found it helpful 😊
Some great decants there Raffi injoy your Sunday
Thanks James, same to you 👍

Those bottles were so controversial back in 98, almost impossible to find now

Agreed it’s quite nice, especially for a fresh scent. Terrific ginger note that reminds me of Dior Homme Sport 2012.
I will go there tomorrow actually and retry...not that I need much motivation 😆
I’m totally sharing your thoughts on Le Lion. I’ve tried to love it more than enough times, but I just don’t. It’s ok though. Enjoyed the video Raffi!
It's ok though
great info to remind
Glad it was helpful!

I'll give it another try next time I'm there
Keep forgetting about Rochas Lui... I need to stop messing around ✌🏻
It is getting harder to find in my neck of the woods, good luck brother

amberwood is my fav from clive christian... rubbery, powdery, tonka & iris smell to it just like prada luna rossa black
Hedonistic is so good!

@@ryany2882 smelled hedonistic a while back at libertine in sydney, can't remember what it smells like though pretty sure I liked it
