Hey Sebastian, I have "Old School" by Barrett which is their take on the discontinued Armani Code Absolou. I like the scent a lot, but noticed the fragrance is super greasy/oily when sprayed on skin. I read some stuff about people accusing Barrett of "just mixing oils together" as opposed to creating them through actual perfumery. I'd love to hear your opinion on this considering your background. I was hoping you were going to comment on it when you sprayed on skin 😆
Interesting- i mean it's definitely alcohol based but sometimes if it's a really high soncentration of oil or if they used a lot of DPG to make it gentler on skin it can give it a greasy feel! I dont remember that happening but when I get home i'll check again because i hate it when that happens! Zoologist tends to do that too but their frags are outstanding just really high concentration...Ill get back to u on that :)
@@topnotesfragrance yeah I had written it off as high concentration as well, glad to hear your thoughts on it though! The fragrance is great otherwise, i just try to avoid my clohtes when i spray lol. Definitely give a follow up when you try them again and I appreciate the detailed response.
Imo, two best Layton clones by far are The Woods Collection - Dusk and Paris Corner North Stag Deux 2 . I have about 12 Barrett travel size fragrances , and I feel the two best may be their PDM Greenley clone called Vervantaville , and their Kilians Back To Black inspiration called Return To Darkness
I recently found your channel and i found it great! the only feedback i would give to you is that you can improve on the thumbnails. other than that great content,you earned a sub :)
Naxos - hate from first sniff. Smells like a guy who peed his pants at the bar hoping nobody noticed. 😂 You reviewed all the frags I couldn't care less about. There's 0 reasons for you to buy a dupe of total trash of a perfume. Please review more popular scents !
i just found you from the bond no 9 ne york nihts clone vid, i csn tell you’re the 🐐
Totally!!
They got an Invictus Aqua 2016 clone too! I can’t wait til it comes back in stock!

Barrett makes very good dupes, I have about 25 perfumes, good quality projection and duration, I also have many DUA perfumes, they are very good too

Sorry, this is completely off topic for the video you’ve probably spent hours making/editing, but will you ever do any more DIY fragrance videos?
No worries! Yeah totally- I just havent been able to set aside the time but ill try to soon!!
