OK I tried enigma again and I actually really like it. I think I might have gotten it confused with oud to greatness which is just too much for me but yeah the best way I would describe it is a spicy and rich Coca-Cola.
I know what you mean. I described it as smelling something like what the oldest hooker in the cheapest brothel in Amsterdam would splash on her clopper between johns. Pleasant it is not.
Agreed on Roja. I've been fortunate this year not only to sample quite a bit of the house but add some to my collection. Rarely disappointed. Thanks George ✌
Great list and I enjoyed it and I like Hugo Boss the scent absolute and by the fireplace and I'm going to try the other fragrances and Merry Christmas and a happy New Year and have a blessed 🌙
George! Great video as always. I always comment this, and I’ll state it again. I could listen to you discuss fragrances for hours. You’re damn good, m8. Furthermore, you got some nice freakin fragrances this year! I have a few of those, and love them as well (Gravitas specifically). My fave pick ups of the year are Gravitas, Pasha de Cartier Parfum, Moustache EDP, Noble Otter Monarch, and Superstition 13 by 13th Floor Fragrance Co. Thanks again and be well, George! 👍
Another brilliant video. Great line-up but a great video overall... I think you're my favourite reviewer of 2020. Nicely done pal congrats on a killer year 👃
I didnt get teh campvire vibe with that one. By the fireplace was more true to that description. Trespasser just smelled like burnt powdery vanilla combined with a piss note to me.
PARFUMS VINTAGE-Maverick, a YSL-M7 Fresh clone MEMO-African Leather ARMAF-Milestone ... you convinced me TOM FORD-Beau de Jour TOM FORD-Ombre Leather TOM FORD-Black Orchid I also have a decant of Enigma that I need a few more wears to make a decision I’m loving your videos 👍🏻
The ones I got most smitten by this year, in fact got them as soon as I could after first smelling them: -Tom Ford Black Orchid Edp -Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille -Memo Paris African Leather
So tempted to sell my bottle of GIT and get myself a bottle of Galloway after trying a sample recently from hearing about it a video or two ago. It smells exactly what I wish GIT did!
I wish I discovered your channel before blindly buying Dior Sauvage, which was supposed to be a “safe” buy. It was safe, but now I know for sure what a couple of my friends wear. Sheesh.
Great list! Like yourself, my favourite fragrance of all time is Millesime Imperial and this year I’ve made it my mission to pick up as many older bottles of the stuff as I can 🤣 also really keen on testing the Atkinsons after your praise! I haven’t heard much about the house on your channel, but I’ve become smitten with Kilian fragrances and the best purchase this year has to be Straight to Heaven Extreme. Expensively and intoxicatingly boozy stuff!
Great video as usual 😊 My favourite grab this year was Rogue’s Fougère L’aube - bright, fresh, deep and a killer dry down. 🍺 Here’s to the hope that we’ll all be smelling something other than 3 day old paper towel in 2021 👍
I just wore His Majesty the Oud yesterday, pure awesomeness. If you want to explore this house, you should also try The Other Side of Oud and Pirates` Grand Reserve.
Orto Parisi deserves much more love. No one ever talks about them. I own Megamare and Terroni, but I'd like to add Seminalis and Bergamask somewhere down the line. I actually prefer Orto Parisi over Nasomato.
@@nicolasalvarez8716 I recently had the chance to smell the new Nasomatto, Fantomas. Weirdly, to my nose (and the noses of the people who worked at the store), it was just Seminalis in a more subtle, less dense way. Disappointing for a Nasomatto fragrance really..
@@JazzDB i thought it was in the direction of seminalis as you said, yhanks for the confirmation. I believe that is enough to read the orto parisi motto to know right away if that house if for you or not 👍
When I was at school, we were told to avoid the word “nice”. It’s so weak and insipid. How about telling George that his video is great, fantastic, brilliant, enlightening, inspiring, well put together or unique. The English language is too rich for things to be just “nice”.
@@paigeofstylez promise, portrait of a lady, monsieur, vetiver extraordinaire are my favourites. Promise especially, challenging but very rewarding 🙏 You got a shoutout from Justin Copeland today too! Don't forget me when you're famous mate 😂
Hmmm...Initio Side Effect, Kilan Intoxicated, Kilan Straight to Heaven, Argos Truimph of Bacchus. But best 2020 pick was Kilian Angels Share. I have Ormande Jayne Montabaco Verano in the mail so we will see. Thanks for the content. Be safe.
I got a hold of a 10K01 decant of MI. And my GOD it’s nothing like the decant of MI I got over a year ago. I can barely smell the tea in the newer versions. It’s crazy! I understand your angst now. 😫
You should try Darley from PDM. I think it’s also a hidden gem from the brand that’s obviously overshadowed by Layton, Herod, and all the other spicy warmer offerings.
I got Nasomatto Baraonda as a gift, which is a superb fragrance, then i really really like Guerlain L Homme Ideal Cologne, Chanel Allure Homme Sport Edition Blanche and i guess Layton and Herod.
Galloway is the best PDM fragrance cause it doesn't share the same notes than most PDM'S share. I personally dont like the house but Galloway is great. Its a clone of Lalique's White of course but still great.
My favorite purchase of this year so far is Dendera by Centauri. That scent is the most transportive frag I think I have....yet. The next one that I think I will grab is Roja Amber Aoud. I have sampled it and holy shit it is amazing as well.
my pickups : zaharoff signature original and royal , milestone , JPG le male le parfum , chanel platinum egoiste , rasasi hawas , PDM layton,herod , and some others but i dont really have a favorite i like them all but if i have too choose it would be 3th place layton 2nd le male le parfum and 1st signature pour homme
i got aventus 10th anniversary, eros, sauvage EDT, YSL Y edp, Layton, aaront terence hughes alpha man. Jeremy fragrance (office,unisex, black tie, date for men.) my fav is probably unisex and alpha man. also got Ck reveal, mont blanc indiv, ozone, ADG profundo.
Forget Givenchy Gentleman Cologne and get YSL Trench George. Tangerine, Iris/Neroli, Ambrette, awesome performance for a citrus fragrance (10+). The DHI of Spring/Summer
@@raulsaavedra709 he already talks about Dior Homme Cologne. That one doesn't really perform either but it last longer that Givenchy Gentleman Cologne 😬 i think Eight and Bob could really do what Givenchy was trying to do here perfectly
I purchased a shit load of fragrances this year I figured the world was ending let’s go for broke ! I don’t have a favorite that I purchased 😍 but I’m always in search of that Holy Grail fragrance...
Your description of Galloway is what I think Givenchy Gentleman Cologne smells like, which is what I think Lalique White smells like, which is what people say Galloway smells like. What the hell did I just say? EDIT: I got a bunch of Imaginary Authors samples and A City On Fire was one of them. I love the smell of burned barbecue chicken.
LOL at all the creed fanboys crying right now 😂 always thought that shit was an overpriced waste! Love your videos as always your spot on with everything! Keep it up!
As someone who just got into fragrances this year and has been bingeing on niche samples, i gotta come out and say creed is pretty dogshit quality compared to every other brand ive tried (pdm, xerjoff, guerlain, atelier, tom ford). TIme to move on guys and stop hanging on to old formulations that will just go up and up in price.
Are you being silly or exhibiting a poor knowledge of communism? Maybe if I’d required he share his earnings with all his viewers, but I’m neither a communist or insane.
Is Enigma the same thing as creation E? If so it smells like a divorced 55 yo Georgian cab driver creepin at the college bar
That's the vibe i'm going for right now.
@@TheFragranceApprentice haha 😄
Same Thing yes
OK I tried enigma again and I actually really like it. I think I might have gotten it confused with oud to greatness which is just too much for me but yeah the best way I would describe it is a spicy and rich Coca-Cola.
I know what you mean. I described it as smelling something like what the oldest hooker in the cheapest brothel in Amsterdam would splash on her clopper between johns. Pleasant it is not.
I think CDN Milestone is my biggest fragrance surprise of 2020.
It was mine too
it beats my Dua too (Imperiale Matrix) smells better lasts longer
CDN Milestone is such a great clone. Because all they had to clone was sweat.
@@IamRahul919 sure thing buddy wife compliments every time

Here’s to 2021, George! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Getting that parfum cologne Enigma for Christmas 🔥🔥
First, i bought milestone because of you, more vidoes like that pleas
George! Great video as always. I always comment this, and I’ll state it again. I could listen to you discuss fragrances for hours. You’re damn good, m8.

I love, A City on Fire. I wear it every winter.
Looking forward to your take on Club de Nuit Sillage! I bought Milestone based off your video
Definitely love Enigma/Creation E. Excellent choice, good sir!
I purchased Atkinsons based on your review. Thanks !
Another brilliant video. Great line-up but a great video overall... I think you're my favourite reviewer of 2020. Nicely done pal congrats on a killer year 👃
Memoirs Of A Trespasser is my newest favorite. Just such a nostalgic smell of a fireplace with vanilla
I didnt get teh campvire vibe with that one. By the fireplace was more true to that description. Trespasser just smelled like burnt powdery vanilla combined with a piss note to me.
Who wins? Memoir of a Trespasser vs By the Fireplace vs Stronger with You Intensely?
@@yasfreeman5877 easily fireplace, if you are a teenager and want really sweet and loud then SWY
For a second there I thought I was watching one of my videos when I saw Enigma at #1
PARFUMS VINTAGE-Maverick, a YSL-M7 Fresh clone
MEMO-African Leather
ARMAF-Milestone ... you convinced me
TOM FORD-Beau de Jour
TOM FORD-Ombre Leather
TOM FORD-Black Orchid
I also have a decant of Enigma that I need a few more wears to make a decision
I’m loving your videos 👍🏻
Milestone is awesome, never smelled creed MI. One of my favorites, different that anything I’ve smelled so far.
The ones I got most smitten by this year, in fact got them as soon as I could after first smelling them:
-Tom Ford Black Orchid Edp
-Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille
-Memo Paris African Leather
I’m with you on the Black Orchid and African Leather
👍🏻
So tempted to sell my bottle of GIT and get myself a bottle of Galloway after trying a sample recently from hearing about it a video or two ago. It smells exactly what I wish GIT did!
Great stuff George!
My favorite purchases for this year are:
Jan: Dior-Homme Intense
Jan: Dior-Homme Parfum
Mar: Ermenegildo Zegna-Florentine Iris
Mar: YSL-L'Homme Ultime
Apr: Zaharoff-Signature
Aug: Cartier-Oud Radieux
Sept: Armani Prive-Oud Royal
Oct: Floris London-Santal
Nov: Serge Lutens-Five O'Clock Au Gingembre
Dec: Chopard-Amber Malaki
great pickups this year, also thanks for saying what you said about creed, they appear to be coasting.
yes!!!! His majesty the oud is a slept on frag. I am on my second bottle and i will be buying my third bottle mid summer.
I wish I discovered your channel before blindly buying Dior Sauvage, which was supposed to be a “safe” buy. It was safe, but now I know for sure what a couple of my friends wear. Sheesh.

I’m glad to see Galloway get some love. Great list!
Hi George, nice video as always. Mi favourite fragrance acquisition is dior fahrenheit le parfum, orto parisi megamare and john varvatos artisan pure
Orto Parisi deserves much more love. No one ever talks about them. I own Megamare and Terroni, but I'd like to add Seminalis and Bergamask somewhere down the line. I actually prefer Orto Parisi over Nasomato.

Best green apple I've smelled is promise by malle. Wore it today actually, powerful
I need a F Malle fragrance

Milestone, one the best buys of the year!
I got a hold of a 10K01 decant of MI. And my GOD it’s nothing like the decant of MI I got over a year ago. I can barely smell the tea in the newer versions. It’s crazy! I understand your angst now. 😫
What a list 😍 I'm finally gonna order milestone 😉
I'm thinking of buying it too. What do you think?
@@sinless4088 great scent for the high heat
Very unique ive never smelled something like this before
ROJA enigma is phenomenal. Can’t wait to afford it. It was love at first smell
My favorite pickups has been Layton, spicebomb ext, 1million lucky, chez bond and mont blanc explorer an chanel allure homme sport eau extreme
I love Galloway so much.
Enigma is my number 1 pickup of this year as well!
I am delighted with Cartier Pasha Parfum, Rochas Moustache Eau De Parfum and Valentino Noir Absolu. Thank you.
Armani' AdG Absolu has to be my favourite buy of the year. It gives me a sense of sophistication, how a gentleman of notoriety should smell.
Galloway is worth mentioning more
You should try Darley from PDM. I think it’s also a hidden gem from the brand that’s obviously overshadowed by Layton, Herod, and all the other spicy warmer offerings.
Best pickup was Dior Homme Cologne. Definitely lived up to the hype from you, GentScents, Fragmental and pretty much everyone really.
I agree about creed it’s such a disappointing period for them,, I do however still love royal oud.. what are your thoughts on Royal Oud?
I got Nasomatto Baraonda as a gift, which is a superb fragrance, then i really really like Guerlain L Homme Ideal Cologne, Chanel Allure Homme Sport Edition Blanche and i guess Layton and Herod.
Galloway is the best PDM fragrance cause it doesn't share the same notes than most PDM'S share. I personally dont like the house but Galloway is great. Its a clone of Lalique's White of course but still great.
City on Fire is dope! Love it
My favorite pick up this year was Initio Rehab a true 10/10 in my eyes
My favorite purchase of this year so far is Dendera by Centauri. That scent is the most transportive frag I think I have....yet. The next one that I think I will grab is Roja Amber Aoud. I have sampled it and holy shit it is amazing as well.
CDN Milestone or intense? Or just say "screw it", and get em both? 🤣
I was curious after you reviewed 14's PdM Galloway what you thought of it's 'original' - 08's Rene Lalique White in retrospect.
my pickups : zaharoff signature original and royal , milestone , JPG le male le parfum , chanel platinum egoiste , rasasi hawas , PDM layton,herod , and some others but i dont really have a favorite i like them all but if i have too choose it would be 3th place layton 2nd le male le parfum and 1st signature pour homme
Great purchases
I would say bvlgari tygar , memo ocean leather and gravitas for sure. Just to name a few
Great channel! Subbed.
i got aventus 10th anniversary, eros, sauvage EDT, YSL Y edp, Layton, aaront terence hughes alpha man. Jeremy fragrance (office,unisex, black tie, date for men.) my fav is probably unisex and alpha man. also got Ck reveal, mont blanc indiv, ozone, ADG profundo.
Great video Bro
Amazing video
Forget Givenchy Gentleman Cologne and get YSL Trench George. Tangerine, Iris/Neroli, Ambrette, awesome performance for a citrus fragrance (10+). The DHI of Spring/Summer
I would have recommended Dior Homme Cologne, or the almost identical Mercedes Benz Cologne. Grapefruit galores, awesome smelling for the Summer.
@@raulsaavedra709 he already talks about Dior Homme Cologne. That one doesn't really perform either but it last longer that Givenchy Gentleman Cologne 😬 i think Eight and Bob could really do what Givenchy was trying to do here perfectly
Have you had/do you have Norne?
I've heard slumberhouse is coming back in stock soon
I purchased a shit load of fragrances this year I figured the world was ending let’s go for broke ! I don’t have a favorite that I purchased 😍 but I’m always in search of that Holy Grail fragrance...
Your description of Galloway is what I think Givenchy Gentleman Cologne smells like, which is what I think Lalique White smells like, which is what people say Galloway smells like.
What the hell did I just say?
EDIT: I got a bunch of Imaginary Authors samples and A City On Fire was one of them. I love the smell of burned barbecue chicken.
Sillage review ?
I didn't find nothing off putting about private acord I think it's just plain
Awesome
Where can I find your video on “his majesty the oud” ?
HI, what do you think about ThAmeen royal Sapphire?
So in other words... what your saying is:
"Money can't buy happiness" - Wrong, it can!
"Money talks" - Yes, yes it does 🤣
Try Givenchy gentleman only casual chick
is the black tie review coming?
nvm you answered that in the video
Have you done a review on the Rojo Dove - Enigma or is there one in the pipeline also?
I feel I should do that with Chris probably.
@@TheFragranceApprentice haha yeah that would be good, the Enigma battle 💚
Any chance you can review Greenly by PDM?
Jovoy Psychedelique ✌️☮️
Love His Majesty the Oud!
LOL at all the creed fanboys crying right now 😂 always thought that shit was an overpriced waste! Love your videos as always your spot on with everything! Keep it up!
You wear a nice vest, a posh ascot, and then your collar is a mess (often). Sort it out, mate.
Bought milestone this past year, not a big fan honestly. Smells like wet pennies and sea salt to me. maybe its my skin chemistry
As someone who just got into fragrances this year and has been bingeing on niche samples, i gotta come out and say creed is pretty dogshit quality compared to every other brand ive tried (pdm, xerjoff, guerlain, atelier, tom ford). TIme to move on guys and stop hanging on to old formulations that will just go up and up in price.
Hello
In no particular order:
Givenchy Gentleman Cologne
Givenchy Gentleman Boisee
Gucci Oud
Paco Rabanne One Million Parfum
Bvlgari Man Wood Neroli.
Creed does not perform as it used to and they don’t seem as potent
Appreciate you but didn’t love amount of commercial.
He can't make a dollar? You a Communist?
I hope he makes many dollars.
Are you being silly or exhibiting a poor knowledge of communism? Maybe if I’d required he share his earnings with all his viewers, but I’m neither a communist or insane.
Its been years since i smelled "millie" , but Milestone smells like a very watery collection of melon fruits.
I really tried but can't watch the whole video. Advertising every 3-5 minutes. Unscribed . Dislike.
You never heard of adblock?
Fragrance noobs criticizing the creed. Lol
