George, I don't know if you'll see this but thank you. Thank you for introducing me to Milleseme Imperial. I sampled it due to the hype you gave it and honestly man I didn't expect it but Its become my favourite fragrance of all time as well. Love from India🤘☺️
Chanel Bleu Parfum is great but the Bleu EDP is the crown jewel from that line in my opinion, the most balanced of the bunch-it also works like magic on me. I have Milestone and love it, had a group dinner recently and the whole table started talking about it, very loved!
For Explorer there are 2 camps. On one side those that like a high quality fragrance. And on the other side people that dislike it because they want to justify spending 200-300 pounds on Aventus.
@@RonaldJapenga never had an issue with any batches. Been wearing it for almost a decade people exaggerate the batches just to talk about something. Same with GIT new batches one spray last 24hrs. My guess is you've never had aventus ?
@@RonaldJapenga why even bother with explorer when cdnim is way way better? Better quality way better performance and smells identical to aventus unlike explorer, Especially the 2020 batch of cdnim they upgraded it and it is the best batch yet. Your wasting your time and money on explorer stuff is garbage just like all mont blanc frags
I agree with this list, although I haven’t smelled the Hermès, I’m sure it’s wonderful. The only downside to recommending MI is that the performance isn’t great so spending $400 on an underperforming frag might bother some
Millesime Imperial & Club de nuit Milestone are literally sunshine in a bottle, I feel simultaneously lucky and unlucky to have found them so early in my fragrance journey, they set the bar so high I don't think they will ever be surpassed, yet I would be deeply sad if anything ever does.
My personal five are: 1) Oud Wood by Tom Ford ( Pure class in a bottle) 2) Grey Vetiver by Tom Ford ( versatile and works all year around) 3) Narciso Rodriguez for him EDP ( Heavenly Musc and so criminally underrated that i dont know wtf is wrong with all you reviewers. How could you not have appreciated such a scent?) 4) L Instant de Guerlain Edt. ( a woman almost ate me once and wanted passionately to know what I was wearing and i didnt even know her) 5) Zino by Davidoff. ( Forget Beau de Jour, Rive Gauche and all their hype and buy this) Think of the Rat Pack having their drinks, smoking their cigars, playing snooker in a room foul of wood and old leather chairs. Thats what it smells like.
This is a compliment 😃 You look like the *Count of fragrances* (Twilight 🎥) After 780 years of fragrance experience, sharing your wisdom with the masses Keep the look, it works!!
Happy Xmas George! Your Christmas’s have all come at once, announcements of Boss The Scent Pure Accord and Stronger with you Absolutely! I look forward to your expert assessment!
Wouldn't be too worried about Dior Homme discontinuing, considering Valentino Uomo smells almost identical (and perhaps even better)? At least when I tried it in the shop
Awesome content as usual, George! Loved this series, and laughed out loud when you said “galexeh” lol. I always give you a reason why your videos are awesome, and here is another one. You’re meant to be doing this George. Obviously you’re talking to a camera, but your personality and eloquent verbiage make it seem like we are sitting right across from you. That adds quite the personalization to these videos that make me always look forward to your videos. Finally, never review Creed MI. Ever. Be well, m8! 👍
All good things must come to an end and its fitting that the best is saved for last and thats your 'Millie'. It would be sad to see that video of yours though even if im excited for the review. This video is worth the wait. Amazing 25 fragrances list. Great work as always!
Great Video. I love your opinions. I do have a question... If I own Aventus, Cedrat Boise Intease, and dupes of Aventus; would you still recoment Mont Blanc Explorer?
Nice recommendations, will have to check out that Armaf Milestone :) About the Hermes, first time hearing about it, will try to sample it. That seems to be just one of some Creeds with quality issues. Agnes Eva (I'm sure many other TH-camrs too, likely) made a video comparing different batches of Aventus (2015 vs 2019), and the differences were staggering in smell and performance. She had each on each arm, the drydowns were so different she summarized: basically two different fragrances. So indeed clones (not just of Aventus) might be more faithful to the originals than newer batches.
Hello SIR ! In your professional (obviously) opinion, you actually think Explorer is a better Clone than Club De Nuit Intense ? I thought I heard that Club De Nuit Intense performed better than Explorer. I'm asking because I was just just about to pull the trigger on Armaf. Thanks in advance for your blessings
I own CDN Intense. You will need to spray it loads as the smell tends not to last. It does get compliments but need to massively over spray. It does have a slightly synthetic smell, but smells really nice. Not sure if your own nose just cant pick it up when you are yourself wearing it. Any clothes you get it on and go back in the wardrobe. They smell amazing with the dry down weeks later. Don't overpay for it however.
I'm now fascinated to get my nose on a sample of Hermes Eau des Merveilles, as I already know that Hermes do a phenomenal (albeit devastatingly short-lasting) orange note in Eau d'Orange Verte. Here's hoping this is longer lasting.....
My favorite Chanel for men is platinum égoïste smells phenomenal on my body and the constant attention I get from women of ages 20 and up is quite flattering 👍
Dior Homme parfum is better for me but I do have both Dior EDT the original is nice but it don't last long on me . I got both from Dior website. Chanel bleu EDT I always wear maybe I try the Chanel parfum next time
My wife favourite perfume is elixir by Hermes. I think so too it is an amazing perfume and wouldn’t mind wear it. However, recently I’ve got Hermes H24, and I think it has some of the Elixir DNA with a bit of masculine twist. Is really amazing and beautiful perfume, long lasting, with a nice transformation through the day. This too could easily be a unisex perfume.
Our time in this world could be cut short at anytime,George, open the bottle and enjoy it , it's like buying an expensive watch .and not wearing in case it gets scratched. Peace
for me my Number One is Blue Agave by Richard Heprin and Carbon by Aaron Terence Hughes . My favs honorable mention to Chanel Allure Homme the original.
Lol Dior Sauvage Pretty Cool Spray is the best out of all if you don't like the EDT, i hate the EDT but love thr Very Cool Spray edition. It's heavy on the grapefruit and it's a really juicy one on that as well. Trust me get it and it lasts and lasts. People don't really talk about it since it's in a can and not a glass bottle.
I love MI too! I love the airiness of it. Unfortunately clones and Middle East Fragrances are very strong and thick. Is that the same case with the Armaf?
I was sure you talked about it not only Elisha....i saw this video in the past, anyhow....bought it blindly... waiting to receive it and smell (got it for 35$ EDT)...i am now looking for midnight in paris (looking means not more than 35$😅 but confused EDT or EDP, i think i will go for EDT....)
How does explorer compare to CDNI, since they're both clones of Aventus? I have CDN and it's great. Was wondering if it'd be redundant to get explorer. Thanks!
George, have you heard anything about the Bleu de Chanel Parfum being reformulated stronger after batch 5000? I came across this on Fragrantica and wondered if you had heard anything? Thanks for your consideration!
Great little series. Thank you. I hope when you come to review Millesime Imperial it'll be because a fragrance has been released that has taken its spot in your heart and you need to let it go righteously. Oh and why do Creed seemingly keep messing with a good thing?
So many people have told me to get the edp of BDC that it’s the best in terms of overall performance and scent. Screw them and screw that I’m going all in on the parfum version and getting the 5 oz at Macy’s.
Surprised Bleu de Chanel Parfum does work. I have had the same experience with the other ones, who just didn't work on my skin, and didn't even bother to try the more expensive parfum. Now I'm going to get a tester and see how people react (i.e. lost my sense of smell). 😎👍
I did try Eau des Merveilles from Hermes, it is strongly synthetic and without any character, a really generic commercial fragrance. I do not understand the hype at all.
Hey George, great video! Do you ever keep the boxes for your fragrences? Should I be concerned that prolonged exposure to light will damage the scent? Seems like people online have mixed options. Thanks
I’m so nervous about never smelling the original Dior Homme. You’ve convinced me to make me want to buy multiple bottles. I was about to grab Stronger with you Intensely but that can wait
true story.. i just sold my 100mL 18D01 Millesime Imperial and that batch is 🔥🔥 for a more recent. only reason i sold it is bc i came across a bnib 120mL 16C01 tester. can't wait to get it!
1 Carolina Herrera Ch is my favourite noting smell like it plus my gf loves it . 2 ysl l'homme le parfum all the women at my work love it I love the smell of it 3 Dior homme parfum everyone at my work loves it and it last so long to. Amazing smell. 4 pulse of the night issey miyake is easy to wear and smell amazing. 5 montblanc individuel amazing smell last a long time and is so cheap too. 6 creed aventus no need to say anything about that lol
George, I don't know if you'll see this but thank you. Thank you for introducing me to Milleseme Imperial. I sampled it due to the hype you gave it and honestly man I didn't expect it but Its become my favourite fragrance of all time as well. Love from India🤘☺️
You are welcome my dude 🙏
Same story here. And if you liked MI, I’m sure you’ll love Silver Mountain Water.
@@rammul7801 Silver Mountain Water is good too. Very fresh, clean. More suited to day time wear imo😁
@@TheFragranceApprentice finally there is someone who doesn't like sauvage, Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried Milestone by Armaf and it has become my favorite too. No wonder he loves MI so much 😍
Youre my favorite fragrance guy. Youre so genuine, and never sugar coat shit just to get commission on codes etc.
Chanel Bleu Parfum is great but the Bleu EDP is the crown jewel from that line in my opinion, the most balanced of the bunch-it also works like magic on me. I have Milestone and love it, had a group dinner recently and the whole table started talking about it, very loved!
Loved the series... Personally, I hope we never get a MI review. Keep up the good work!
As much as is would love to see it, I don't ever really want to see it
MI?
@@jasonryals7230 Milliesime Imperial
It’s ok he’ll just do one of Milestone...

There is nothing high quality about anything mont blanc especially explorer
@@fallguy6196 How's that bottle of Aventus? Did you get a good batch?
@@RonaldJapenga never had an issue with any batches. Been wearing it for almost a decade people exaggerate the batches just to talk about something. Same with GIT new batches one spray last 24hrs. My guess is you've never had aventus ?
@@fallguy6196 Only tested it in store. Not worth 200-300 imo. Maybe it used to be?

Bro you should have a million subscribers. Plz keep going. Plz never stop. We need you.

Reviews, education, and history of the industry make this the best fragrance channel.
Bleu De Chanel Parfum is a mass appealing masterpiece. It’s The Dark Knight. It’s AM by The Arctic Monkeys. It’s fucking Uncharted 4.
was my first designer frag
Was with you there for a second til you implied AM is a masterpiece.
@@Mac10Demarco "mass appealing" master piece tho
I love you George! Absoulte legend :)
I picked up a travel size of the Hermes from Nordstrom based entirely off your appreciation of the scent and have been very pleased with it. Thanks!
I haven’t been watching your videos for that long but I’ve really enjoyed them.
Millesime Imperial & Club de nuit Milestone are literally sunshine in a bottle, I feel simultaneously lucky and unlucky to have found them so early in my fragrance journey, they set the bar so high I don't think they will ever be surpassed, yet I would be deeply sad if anything ever does.
I agree on Eau des Merveilles, but ALSO, Eau Des Merveilles Bleue is magnificent. Both are loves!! The bleue is one of a kind.
My personal five are: 1) Oud Wood by Tom Ford ( Pure class in a bottle)
2) Grey Vetiver by Tom Ford ( versatile and works all year around)
3) Narciso Rodriguez for him EDP ( Heavenly Musc and so criminally underrated that i dont know wtf is wrong with all you reviewers. How could you not have appreciated such a scent?)

Number 3 aye, interesting
@@iTZ_xalechikx5137 it's really a beautiful scent. It has an old world vibe yet modern. Its unique and futuristic.
Royal Oud is my #1!
Fantastic video series!
My scent of the day- Bentley intense, even though it's officially winter here in Chicago I need some snow for my winter fragrances.
So glad I watched this. I have been searching for years for a fragrance that smells of bitter bananas.
This is a compliment 😃
You look like the *Count of fragrances* (Twilight 🎥)

Happy Xmas George! Your Christmas’s have all come at once, announcements of Boss The Scent Pure Accord and Stronger with you Absolutely! I look forward to your expert assessment!
Mate. I’m hyped!
When you said “GALAXEH” I completely lost it
Wouldn't be too worried about Dior Homme discontinuing, considering Valentino Uomo smells almost identical (and perhaps even better)? At least when I tried it in the shop
I prefer Valentino uomo intense
Do you think the recent reformulation and watering down of Creed's fragrances has anything to do with them being bought out by venture capitalists???
The only reason I watch your channel for, is that you call the season autumn instead of fall.
Bet he calls Gas, Petrol as well ;-)
Awesome content as usual, George! Loved this series, and laughed out loud when you said “galexeh” lol. I always give you a reason why your videos are awesome, and here is another one.

I bought BDC Parfum today :D
Also own MB Explorer which I love.

Great honest job as always,from Trinidad and Tobago.
I could watch your vids all day. Fantastic.
Great Video. I love your opinions. I do have a question... If I own Aventus, Cedrat Boise Intease, and dupes of Aventus; would you still recoment Mont Blanc Explorer?
Enjoyed your list, really appreciate your expertise and insight, be safe and BLESSED
Nice recommendations, will have to check out that Armaf Milestone :) About the Hermes, first time hearing about it, will try to sample it.
That seems to be just one of some Creeds with quality issues.

Phew. I just bought Bleu for my son. It took me months to decide if I was making the right decision.
The Creed family knew when to cash out.
RIP Creed 1975-2020
Rocking silver mountain water today. Great video George
Bowie wore SMW but you know that...lol
@@lv2465 very well done Sir :))
I agree the best fragrance is Armaf Milestone
Thats it! The last push i needed to get eau des merveilles, i was avoiding it. Thanks George
You got this!
Is this edt of edp?
I have Explorer and I love it.

TOP 10 MOST PROJECTING FRAGRANCES.
This was more EPIC than the Lord of the Rings Trilogy!!!...........
Your lighting is so on point. Thank you for the great content and production quality.
Thanks George great content. Thank you!
for me my Number One is Blue Agave by Richard Heprin and Carbon by Aaron Terence Hughes . My favs honorable mention to Chanel Allure Homme the original.
Since MI is your number one and got the armaf imitation, have you tried sean johns unforgivable? They say it was an earlier copy of MI.
is watered down now..reformulated!!
What do you think of tom ford noir extreme?
BDC parfum is fantastic. The edp is also really good.
Lol Dior Sauvage Pretty Cool Spray is the best out of all if you don't like the EDT, i hate the EDT but love thr Very Cool Spray edition.

Oh hahaha yesss! I do like Explorer! I can’t help it. Also the bottle works for me.
Great list. I flip flop between Dior Homme and Millesime Imperial as my #1
Is unforgivable a better clone as most say thats a good one or is it way off the creed 🤔
I just purchased hermes eau des merveilles 3.3 oz tester for 57.72 US dollars. Thanks for the recommendation 👍🏽
damn You i own Hermes EdM because of Yours recommendation(from other video) and can confirm its fantastic!!
My Dr Who fragrance is Oajan. Such a perfect way of putting it. I can’t imagine anything else making my toes curl up as much as the PdM masterpiece.
PDM has several scents that I could never seem myself without. Ironically, I never understood the hype around Pegasus and Herod.
@@rustyshackleford17 I’m with you.
Explorer is a more masculine version of Aventus. It's better without the lot variations. You know what you are getting.
Hello George, I got Armaf Sillage due to your recommendation and it's mesmerizing. I guess I will have to check Milestone too. Stay well, Sir.
Iayer the sillage with milestone, thank me later
Armaf milestone clone of milliseme imperial is beast mode and absolutely amazing. I find most armaf clones to have beast mode performance.
I love MI too! I love the airiness of it. Unfortunately clones and Middle East Fragrances are very strong and thick. Is that the same case with the Armaf?
As long as GIT holds up im good , Aventus has to much volatility Beautiful bottle on Mill Imperial though
Was surprised about the Hermes! I hear the Ambre in the same line is rather good as well!
I was sure you talked about it not only Elisha....i saw this video in the past, anyhow....bought it blindly... waiting to receive it and smell (got it for 35$ EDT)...i am now looking for midnight in paris (looking means not more than 35$😅 but confused EDT or EDP, i think i will go for EDT....)
