Oh, my goodness - that storage haul video with Dahlia was priceless! So much fun to watch your reactions. And isn't it everyone's dream to find a storage unit full of vintage fragrances? (In their boxes and a climate controlled unit, of course - as long as we're dreaming.)
Sebastian, you NEED to try Athena Fragrances Shams Dubai. It's an almost exact clone of Babycat. I've been comparing them side by side and the only noticable difference is Babycat is ever so slightly stronger on the incense where Shams has a slightly stronger vanilla note. But Shams lasts hours longer than Babycat making it a really, really good alternative. I can't recommend it enough. I thought it would be useful to talk about on your channel since so many folks can't even get their hands on Babycat.
Gucci Envy, great find! As an alternative to that gem, I have found Nasumato Pardon close enough to scratch the itch for Envy. Liz Claiborne is not the same today as yesteryear, but I find Byredo Bal d' afrique as a great alternative. Great video!
Ok, I'm jealous over the Gucci Envy and the Chanel No. 5 Leau (just because of the bottle). Glad to see you are also a fan of Claiborne for Men. I loved that stuff back in the 90s. Though it may have been a bit mature for a teenager, I wore the crap out of it back then. I have a newer bottle and the formula smells great but the performance isn't what ir used to be. Its always been a cologne but the newer ones are definitely weaker and you have to reapply if you want to keep the scent going. Oh well, its dirt cheap and I don't wear it all that often anyway.
Gucci Envy and Plum Japonais, have never smelled either, but those are two famous discontinued and difficult to find fragrances, so congrats Sebastian!
How bizarre! I literally just took delivery of a bottle of Smokey Plum from Egypt today, following your prior recommendation. I'm really surprised how similar it is to Plum Japonais and it performs ridiculously well too. Many thanks for the suggestion. Plum Japonais is one of my very favourite perfumes. I'm extremely happy to have an alternative to stop me using up the small amount of the original I have left. Love the videos. Keep up the great work and enjoy wearing that bottle you've been gifted xx
That rochas bottle brought back so many memories ! I was obsessed with that smell when I was in my early 20’s,I’m scared to buy it again because I know it must have been watered down. Dune,Herrera for men,Aqua di gio pi by givenchy and rochas man were life changing smells for me.
I wish they would bring Gucci Envy for men back so much! I’ve done all I can to find a bottle at a decent price but have failed. I watched your video years ago comparing Floris Santal and Carven Homme to Envy and purchased both on the cheap (back when Carven was a steal) and it’s gotten me by, but as a collector I’m still waiting on the day I can put a bottle of Envy in my collection. Maybe I just need better friends like yours lol
I have 2 bottles of Envy (the exact discontinuation year is 2011 and the 2 reformulations were in 2004 and 2008) and 2 of Nobile (30ml + 120ml). Nobody talk about Nobile because it has been discontinued in 2003 and most of people don't even know this frag but man to me it's the best aromatic fougere I've ever smelled! Plum Japonais is a must have obviously😉. Alexandria Forbidden Plum is also very close to the TF...
Those are some awesome gifts, Sebastian. My God! ... who gets gifted a big bottle of Envy Men!?! What a treasure. That was when Gucci was at the top of their game! // I, too, bought my bottle of Liz Claiborne (OG, for Women) at The Emporium, the now gone store in San Rafael/Terra Linda, Northgate Mall. One of my first "big girl" scents. :D // Yes! I adore Plum Japonais and have lived on decants for years. It's a favorite from Tom Ford.
I'd love to have all of these fragrances. What fragrance is most similar to the Sergio Tacchini but still available and still good? Your fragrance library keeps getting better. Also, in regards to "Rochas Man", I like that one, and I agree that lavender combines well with a coffee/cappuccino note. I wish I could have a vintage formulation of it: I've only tried a modern formulation of it which I have in my collection.
Sebastian, what a fun video! I still have a bottle of Gucci Envy but it has turned and not very wearable. However, my bottle of Plum Japanese is still intact and smells great. Thanks again Sebastian for bringing back smells of the past.
Sometime last year, I bought a bottle of Guy Laroche "Horizon" for about $6 from fragnet. I liked it the only time I wore it and I plan to wear it more often.
Never tried Gucci Guilty Envy, I remember trying Liz Claiborne for men and Quasar but I really don't remember how they smelled. Love Plum Japonais and Smokey Plum I'm glad there is that alternative, I hope TF brings it back. By the way I'm waiting for my Dulce Diablo Bottle! Thanks for the review Sebastian!!!
Hi Sebastian, Sergio Tacchini (pronounced Takkini in Italian) was a popular Italian sportswear brand in the ‘80/90s, I think pretty much every man in Italy owned one of their tracksuits back then 😀
I remember Capwell's I loved that Store! My Mom bought Madame Rochas there and I would sneak sprays! :)) How awesome you received some Vintage scents! Memories are wonderful 💙💙
OMG! I remember going to Emporium when I was younger. Unfortunately, I wasn’t into fragrances back then. I had Gucci Guilty years ago and I sold it because it wasn’t my cup of tea, maybe I should’ve kept it.
Did some research for you with help of Ebay postings: Don Quichotte fragrance is by a French company called Melfleurs. They also had a female version with similar design called Donna Paola which was released in 2005. So I guess your bottle is also from early 00’s
I find Bond No. 9 New Haarlem very close to Rochas Man and also stronger. They are both by the same perfumer actually. As far as I know, Rochas Man kinda vanished for some time and recently was brought back, but I imagine it is lighter these days. There was an Intense version back in the days but I was never able to smell it...
Crazy. I wore Claiborne for men as a teen. My first fragrance I got for Christmas. I also wore Envy in 1998 because someone I dated briefly wore it and I loved it so much. He was trash but that fragrance stayed. Still have about 1/6 of the bottle.
Wow, sound slike a dream! :D I'm so happy for you! :D Would you be able to make a video on the old and new Angel? You're literally the only person I can trust on that because I know your obsession about it. :D It would mean a lot...
UGH! I’ve been wanting Gucci Envy and Violette Angel! Violet is one of my favorite notes. I call the note “the fragrance killer” because all fragrances with Violet end up getting discontinued 😪
I LOVE Claiborne for Men! I bought my husband a bottle of it in, like, 1998 (I think?), and he still has it. It smells so fantastic on him. I feel like it has always been really under the radar but I just love the way it smells on guys. 💖
When you get the new storage set up Sebastian, will you just do a walk around video of the collection-? Believe there cant be any bigger collections in existance right now.
The rochas perfume is something special and i had more than 5 years ago it is very special, for me i want to try the armani bottle because the notes are just exceptional i guess it will be my next blind acquisition 😉
You're a very lucky guy to be gifted Gucci Envy for Men and Gucci Nobile. Two of my favorites. I have to 15ml bottles of Envy - they had 15ml bottles of it in the same bottle design. And I have the Dua clone and the ScentualObsessions clone of it. Gucci Nobile is closer to the Drakkar Noir and Houbigant Duc de Vervins L'Extreme DNA, and the closest present day release is probably Rogue Perfumery Bon Monsieur.
Oh yes so good. And after I shot this video I heard there is a new Intense version coming out. A second one. Originally an Intense launched in the early 2000s and now this year a second Intense is launching. Looking forward to this one! :)
I'd like to try Gucci "Nobile": I imagine I would like that one. Since I already own Rogue Perfumery's "Bon Monsieur", then do I already have something which is very similar to "Nobile"? I've heard that they are similar to each other.
Sebastian with your wealth of knowledge about fragrances, especially older ones ,maybe you can create a coffee table book or help the newer perfumers re interpret the past?
Hello. Don Quichotte was made by Melfleurs (Paris) 102 AV DES CHAMPS ELYSEES 75008 PARIS 8. I could see that it was available at least between 2002-2004 but no exact dates sorry. Melfleurs was founded in 1988. No confirmed details on notes that I've found so far but I hope that helps.
Most sources seem to suggest that Envy was discontinued in around 2010, but it was apparently still found on discounters for years after that, I don't think it was really a hot commodity until it started to gain a cult following. I bought a bottle in 2009. Like you, I sampled it and I bought a bottle I think for around $100 or so retail, and not long after I bought it I dropped it on the floor of my bathroom and it shattered because I was a noob/idiot and I grabbed it by that black cap. Never ever grab your fragrances by the cap, but especially not Envy because the glass bottle is very heavy compared to the cap, which clicks into place but it isn't very secure! Anyways, all these years later I had to pay a premium for it, but I found a bottle very close to home actually and I did pay a premium for it like you kind of have to for something like that, but to date it's the cheapest bottle I've ever found anywhere, and it was like 95% full and it smells even better than I remember it, it has a really prominent sandalwood note that kind of reminds me of being in a sweat lodge, no other designer fragrances I've smelled have this realistic of a sandalwood note in them. Wish they would bring it back!
I've heard of Gucci Envy. Ash at GentScents speaks about it a lot. I never got to smell it before it was discontinued. That Rochas Man juice looks really, really dark compared to newer bottles.
I'm curious how many sprays do you apply on a usual wear? I imagine you walk around smelling good. When I apply I feel like it never stays on long enough. What is your application method/routine?
Great that you managed to get a bottle of Envy. The prices are outrages so I haven’t gotten it… many people say it has similarities to Pardon. Is it similar ?
Pardon from Nasomatto? No I don't think so. Earlier on I had a video on two fragrances that I thought were similar to Envy. You can find out in this video: th-cam.com/video/xaK_TkxIof0/w-d-xo.html but keep in mind it's a much older video. But if you can find those two fragrances you can enjoy something similar to Guccy Envy! :)
Oh my goodness I love Myrrhe Imperiale I waited too long and eventually found out too late that it was discontinued and was forced out of my comfort zone to buy a bottle on eBay from a private seller who lived in Canada! My precious....!
I wish I could have a bottle of Gucci "Envy" because I truly like that one. When I was in middle school in 1995, I had a social studies teacher who wore something which is very similar to "Envy", but he was wearing it years before "Envy" was first released. What fragrance could that have been?
I took your recommendation on Smokey Plum, and thank you. I really do love it. The smoke with the light sweetness, so good! I ended up getting another bottle as a backup. Also, amazing how I can get something from the UAE in 6 days, but takes like two weeks to get something from a few states away. Anyway, thank you.
Olivier Polge did such a great renditon of the original No 5 with L'eau, so enjoyable! I have a healthy appreciation for the original, but is decidedly not one I would wear.
Love Horizon, even if many people find the initial blast a bit off-putting and even refer to it as the smell of „cat-pee“. Nevertheless, one of my favorite aromatic fragrances from the nineties. Have two backup bottles and actually both came without a cellophane wrapping, so seems to be the way it was sold.
Angel has so many interesting flankers. I generally wish I wasn't repulsed by the patchouli because I have tried so many times with Angel, I can't seem to get acquainted.
I'm such a sucker for good packaging/bottles. Kind of unrelated, but have you tried Argos fragrances? I am really loving their bottles, and I have a Discovery kit from them coming tomorrow. Scared I will want all of them 🤣
I had envy 23 years ago. Wish Tom would do it under his own house. It was great. Nobile I had as a teen in early 90s. Nice but long time ago. Fresh if I remember rightly. Very old school. Do they still smell ok after all this time
