    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!

Also Have you tried Matt's (Pocket Scents) take on Creed SMW? Scottish Mountain Water? I use that as a great alternative to SMW and again the wife loves it. Win , win ha ha.

    For some time ago I got my hands on legesi You are right about the metallic part it can be overpowering. I gave to my son who loves it.
