    The fragrance that got me in the game was The One for Men Eau de Parfum because it reminded me of my dad I was emotionally touched. But before that I had Versace Eros edp that I also enjoyed.

    Carolina Herrera CH started my obsession. I was looking up the new formulation of it on TH-cam because I noticed when I bought my 3rd bottle of it it was different and that spun me off into the world of TH-cam fragrance reviewers and the rest is history.

    My dad got me Stetson. But my first true love was Safari in high school. I always bought fragrances here and there, but it wasn't until I found TLTG reviews decade's later, because I was looking for reviews on English Laundry. Then I watched his other reviews and Cedrat Boise and Nishane Ani turned me into fragrance collecting. Now I'm broke because of Ross, but I smell incredible 😂

    Dope🔥🔥, didn’t realize the icon line rolls so deep .Great fragrance house great info on those. I started loving fragrances in high school when I use to work at macys. I was rocking,polo , tommy and my fav was Liz Claiborne sport. But I started getting serious when I got that man o Friech by Versace. Great show 💯

    I've always had a few fragrances on deck. YSL L'intense and BVLGARI Pour Homme were my first serious purchases. As for deep collecting, it began with Armaf Clud de nuit. Now I'm about 150 bottles in.

  • @Nosey704
    @Nosey704 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The Fragrance that started me collecting… was Dior Sauvage EDP. I felt it was so good, and received so many compliments, that I wanted to have an army of fragrances to always smell good.

  • @johnniemckenzie9484

    Thank you for this video. Back in the day what started it for me was the likes of " Obsession, Eternity ,Fahrenheit, Curve, Cool Water, Joop and Polo green. Now I will be on the hunt for some of these BR fragrances that you've mentioned.

    So glad you put this together, D! Briefly browsed through my local Burlington today, and ran into a few these. It made me consult this video review. Pure White, Metal Rain are my targets, along with a backup of T&TB. ✌

    The CK line is where it started for me. Inexpensive and they aren’t the most projecting but they are very easy and pleasant to wear as daily scents (CK One, CK Be and CK All). They are very unisex as well. Even CK Obsession…

  • @uncledonteg

    My fragrance journey started quite by accident. Grabbed Banana Republic Black Walnut Legend from a rack store without knowing it was inspired by Aventus. Then the chase began!! Lol

    JPG le male was my first fragrance it was a gift from my mother in high school and I loved it so much I continued to buy it over the years and I still have a bottle to this very day even though my collections grown to over 40 fragrances into my 30s

  • @chameleonphoenix5956

    It started with CK Obsession and Hugo Boss Hugo, I wore those back in the day and my dad bought them because he liked them so much, he passed away last November, he always wore fragrances my entire life so in honor of him I started collecting, I wish I could share some of the 250+ I've purchased, he would be blown away with so many that I have now, I wear his favorites when missing him is hitting me hard 🙏

    The ICON line is dope. I have 12 of them and the only ones I don’t have (outside of the new ones) is the Gardenia and Cardamon and Peony and Peppercorn because they are more feminine. I use them as my gym and out the shower scents.

  • @WealthOfOpportunity
    @WealthOfOpportunity ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Gardenia & Cardamom is such an amazing spring scent but is a bit more feminine leaning for my taste. Vintage Green is my favorite from the line and can't believe I got it for $20

    Guerlain Vetiver and Guerlain Habit Rouge !! Certainly not inexpensive. But if I could only own two colognes for the rest of my life ( a terrifying thought !! ) it would definitely be these two !! Shire Heaven in a bottle !!👍😌❤️. MikeW.
