    Ac man beautiful video. I just became a father and my fragrance obsession got put on the backburner for few. Watching your videos turned into changing diapers at 2AM. I on purpose tried to stay away from watching your videos cause it starts a fire under me to make a fragrance purchase and i thought i could use the saved money somwehere better. The point im trying to make is that damn does it feel good watching your videos again.
    One small request: id lovea video on your top 10 niche sandalwood fragrance list!

    Eau De Rochas is my preferred alternative to Creed Neroli Sauvage. Rochas doesn’t have quite as natural an opening and doesn’t have the mild ambergris drydown as Creed, but it’s nevertheless an excellent value.

    • @pablowaxa
      @pablowaxa 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Totally agree with you! Eau de Rochas is a classic, and can be bought for 17€ for 50ml, which is a total bargain!

    Très nuit i can give it away for free to anybody who will pay the post and package I almost throw it away when I blind buy it . It’s a chemical monstrosity and club de nuit it’s ok but smells nothing compared to aventus . I can assure you of that just get Montblanc explorer or if you don’t mind about performance but want the closest alternative - Zara vibrant leather

What could be the reason? I watched a video that suggested regular shaking the bottle because the oils settles down sometimes.
