I have really enjoyed watching these videos. I don’t know how this isn’t the most popular/viewed fragrance review channel. Maybe it will truly be appreciated when there is an American version of George’s channel that takes place in Scranton, Pa.
Yes, it's Absolutely critical that the presenter enjoy themselves because that leads to a passion that manifests itself in the videos. It's clear George is enjoying himself because his fragrance content is the best on youtube.
I think he’ll be surprised. To me at least, this is one of the best men’s designer releases this year. I’m almost having a hard time even considering it a designer release, tbh. It’s niche priced and it’s niche quality.
Coming from an Italian family Aqua Di Parma is a standard. I remember watching my grand father on a Sunday morning after shaving. He would reach in his top drawer and out would come out the bottle and 4 sprays later he would walk down stairs sit in his chair and out would walk my grandmother with his coffee . I would ask her how do you know when grand dad was here . She would take a deep breath and smile .. and say it was the scent of his cologne. When we had a special occasion he would call me in and spray me on the left and right side of my neck. Then when I hit 16yo he gave me my first bottle of Aqua Di Parma and I never looked back. Love Parmas cologne lines , most of all the "Colognia" edition.
Luna Rossa Carbon smells wonderful. Tried it at a shop here, and was blown away by how nice an everyday scent it is. To me, seemed office safe, but also great for going out. Just love how fresh and cool it smells. Definitely going to pick some up soon.
Awesome video George! Great to hear so much about acqua di parma worthy fragrances because I absolutely love them! Some other cool scents to learn about, Great video 👍
Amazing video as always, George. I love how you are seemingly apologetic when you create “top ten” videos. Anyway, great list here, as always. Know what has been blowing my mind lately? Aqua Wood by Mancera. It’s such a lovely fragrance. Love that you’re putting out lots of content, George! 👊
Make no mistake, I’m a big fan. I enjoy your content and value your opinion. But I must confess I struggle to comprehend how one could dislike one fragrance (Sauvage), but love it’s copy (Prada Carbon).
I'm a bit outsider. Buying Dior Sauvage EDT must be now like buying a Barbour piece of cloth some years ago. I've smelt Prada Luna Rossa Carbon and I like it. It doesn't matter if it has ambroxan or not. I do not know how smell "Sauvage"-conciously-. But I'm going to try Dior Sauvage Elixir and Dior Sauvage "Very Cool". It's the outsider's path, do you know!. (smile)
Thanks for the reviews, keeping me entertained at work. Wish I could get motif olfactif here in Australia. Can’t wait for the review tomorrow motif olfactif are on the grail list for me.
I don't hear many people talk about it but Goldfield & Banks Silky Woods is blowing my mind. Bought a bottle at full retail. Got a sample and just had to have it.
Bought me a bottle of Prada Carbon back in 2019 after going through a sample from Sephora and it of my maybe 20 fragrances I've worn it more than anything else in my collection. Gets a lot of hate for not being long lasting but lasts 8+ hrs on my skin. Love it!!
Fantastic video, thank you! You’ve made me want to try Oceania again. I love all Roja’s I’ve tried so far and I was excited to try Oceania but It was hyped to the point I assumed I was going to be let down after all the build up. Glad to see you are doing better and back to doing more reviews. We’ve missed you man! Well.. I did.. as much as one can miss a reviewer that I’ve never met before. Now I’m going to go blind buy all of these fragrances that I don’t have and hold you solely responsible if I hate them all because I can’t think for myself. 🤦🦥
Fall is coming! Fall fragrances for the office/work list would be amazing! I feel like Sillage by Armaf could be strong enough to project through the colder weather, but I never smelled it.
Carner Rima XI is blowing my mind right now George! Seriously, I’m going to date myself, but it reminds me of how much I was in love with my first cologne, Calvin Klein ‘s Obsession in the 80s (and I was seriously obsessed with that smell back then, nothing like it is now, by the early 90s it had already been reformulated and ruined) it’s totally in that vein and it’s amazing. You’ve got to get your nose on it if you haven’t, i’d love to know your take on it
Coming from someone who absolutely loves Luna Rossa Carbon and also isn't the biggest fan of Sauvage, I got the new Elixir and I think you'll be surprised, it's pretty good stuff.
Knowing what I know about your taste in fragrances, I am eagerly anticipating your opinion on Sauvage Elixir. I hate Sauvage myself, the EDT is to harsh, the EDP is a bit better and the Parfum is not for me... however, the Elixir is AMAZING! I think it is totally the opposite of what you are expecting.
@@TheFragranceApprentice I feel like Demarchy watched your “the day Dior died” and decided to tell you to “suck it” with Elixir. *SUPER* eager to hear what you have to say about it.
I got a sample pack of zoologist (Trex, Bat(2020), Squid, Sloth and Musk Deer). I was disappointed. For so long i have been reading how animalic and unwearable they all are. For me, no. Its the opposite. I found them all to be very easy to wear, almost as easy as designers. Trex was so nice and smooth and refined I wore it in 40 degree celcius and had no issues with it. Maybe its me and my tastes for heavy animalics that doesnt make them as impactful to me, but I hoped they would be more challenging. On a side note they were very nice,smooth and refined and Sloth was my favourite from the 5. I love the chamomile note.
George, as a veteran of Fragcomm like yourself, I respect your nose immensely. I used to watch loads of reviewers in my prime. As a jaded, old man I don’t watch many reviewers any longer. You are one of maybe 3 reviewers I still watch. With all that said, your assessment of Oceania is absurd in my opinion. I couldn’t disagree more. I don’t find it close to Enigma at all. Both Enigma and Oceania are incredible, but not close at all. I appreciate your channel and everything you do mate. Thank you for your opinion and perspective.
I don’t get Sauvage either. I just never like the line. The elixir is the only one I dig. It’s totally separates itself from the others. In a good way in my opinion. Right there with you with Carbon, its great on all fronts
I am surprised the Sex Apprentice has not made his own Fragrance yet! You need one George! Very Nice Review George! Your list is full of fragrances people do not no about! this is so great to here about! something different finally!
I don't like any of the policy lines...but watching your videos..and the way you enjoy politics deep blue.... I went to ultra today to smell and check it out...🙃🙃🙃🙃😉😉 wow... it's definitely on my most list to get..I liked the scent too
I don't get the love for sauvage either, like you, I prefer luna rossa carbon... The Ralph Lauren deep blue is 1 of my favourite cheap designer fragrances
@@marky147 I agree completely. You should certainly get your nose on it. Some people observe a meaningful difference. Just understand no has ever mentioned Prada Carbon without also mentioning Sauvage.
Any opinions on Bond No. 9 fragrances? They were quite popular, but I didn't see anybody talk about them lately. Looks like they are no longer coming up with new scents.
Do you know what’s blowing my mind right now? Sauvage Elixir. He’s going to like this one, you know, because it doesn’t have anything to do with Sauvage other than the name for marketing purposes...
@@aby3773 that’s crazy dog because I own all of them and it smells nothing like any of them to me. At all. Because they don’t smell like Elixir, because they have completely different notes, with the exception being lavender. It doesn’t smell blue, it doesn’t smell aquatic, citrusy, metallic, or powdery, like any of the other ones. It smells like cinnamon, nutmeg, wood, and lavender.
I got a sample of Nanshe by Nishane and it blew my mind. I'll have to live with getting samples for now $$$ Nanshe by Nishane is a Amber Floral fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Nanshe was launched in 2020. The nose behind this fragrance is Cecile Zarokian. Top notes are Carrot Seeds, Cardamom, Yuzu and Bergamot; middle notes are Rose, Floral Notes, Water Fruit, Ylang-Ylang and Jasmine Sambac; base notes are Powdery Notes, Orris, Sandalwood, Musk and Patchouli
Thx for mentioning you got oceania for free. Some think: every youtuber has no problem paying such high price so maybe I should too even though it will hurt
I bought Sunset Riot a couple of months ago based on your review… Wow!!! Spot on break down. Love this stuff.
The only frag reviewer who makes me stop everything and watch immediately
Agree with you fully
I have really enjoyed watching these videos. I don’t know how this isn’t the most popular/viewed fragrance review channel. Maybe it will truly be appreciated when there is an American version of George’s channel that takes place in Scranton, Pa.
I truly appreciate your love and insight for fragrances. Hands down my favorite content creator when it comes to all things fragrance.
Dude you look great. You lost a lot of weight. Your skin looks healthy as hell. Proud of you.
Carbon is my most recent purchase I really really love it. It’s just perfect
Thanks for turning me on to some new stuff. You do a good job.
Yes, it's Absolutely critical that the presenter enjoy themselves because that leads to a passion that manifests itself in the videos. It's clear George is enjoying himself because his fragrance content is the best on youtube.
Anyone else curious to know what Georges thoughts are on the new Sauvage Elixir seeing as George wasn't the biggest fan of the original? 😆
Email dior and they'll ship you a 2ml for free.
I'd happily send him a sample if he has a PO Box or something like that
@@kloppo5476 Really? What’s the email?
@@matthewgriffy yeah I would like to know too
I think he’ll be surprised. To me at least, this is one of the best men’s designer releases this year. I’m almost having a hard time even considering it a designer release, tbh. It’s niche priced and it’s niche quality.
Wow excellent lineups with quick review. Great video. 👍🏼
Another really honest and enjoyable video from George The Fragrance Apprentice 👍👍👍

Wonderful story. Tante grazie per condividerla, dalla SPAGNA.
Thank you for posting this helpful video
Love these kinds of fragrances!
Thank you for the video. Have a great weekend.
Thank you!! Btw looking fantastic George.
Pure malt looking STRONG on that shelf back there
that intro killed me a little bit. I absolutely have to try Mon Oasis now. Can't wait for your vid on it
Carnicure is blowing my mind right now! Wearing today. Also Imperial Oppoponax, Alexandria2 and Oud Palao are my faves right note. Girl of Now also.
Your videos are fantastic. The eloquence and command of knowledge regarding fragrances that you have is energising.
Great video & selections I appreciate the chapters for quick references also.
I almost spilled my coffee at the end... Brilliant
George.... Dear underrated hidden gem, how come you are not at 500k subscribers - Definitely my favorite fraghead.
Cheers from North Macedonia.

oh man how i'd love to go through your fragrance collection.
So glad I stuck around for that last second and had my volume up high. lol
One youtuber that’s been blowing my mind for the last year! Cheers

After the recommendation of Armafs CDI Sillage I've purchased "Craze" (Pegasus Clone) of them and THAT one blew me away for the price...
It’s pretty dead on

Just got it last week here in Ontario Canada. And I'm impressed
Can't wait for the review on Mon Oasis, even though I promised myself I'd buy nothing else this year. Lol!!
Authenticity Silver Luxe, and Sunmer Vibez 2.0 are currently blowing my mind

Hey George, I picked up Mon Oasis after you mentioned it recently, but I haven't given it much of a wear yet...
Your videos are amazing - I hope you'll feel encouraged to branch out into other subjects if you ever abandon fragrances.
Blowing... Last video messed up my head 😂
Have you smelled Jacomo de Jacomo, opinion on it? Just got it recently and love it! (it's not going to be for everyone,80's classic powerhouse)
I've got a bottle of deep blue, it's great stuff
Finally some quality content

Has Yuzu Soda surpassed Salted Green Mango as your favorite from the house?
I am surprised the Sex Apprentice has not made his own Fragrance yet! You need one George! Very Nice Review George! Your list is full of fragrances people do not no about! this is so great to here about! something different finally!
He did in the video with Aaron Terence Hughes. The fragrance was called Citrucy McCitrus or something xD

The first one confirming what i said somewhere ...yes oceania shares a similar accord with Enigma....i like it more than Enigma
I don't like any of the policy lines...but watching your videos..and the way you enjoy politics deep blue....
I went to ultra today to smell and check it out...🙃🙃🙃🙃😉😉 wow... it's definitely on my most list to get..I liked the scent too
I'm loving sloth too. Yiu had 2 Prin fragrances on this list

The Ralph Lauren deep blue is 1 of my favourite cheap designer fragrances
Hi George anyone dispatching sunset riots to Australia , from UK? I'm struggling to find it.
“What’s up it’s the sex apprentice” carried over from last video 😂
Bro can u review roja enigma for the upcoming winter?
The tobacco vanilla from it just hit different.
I'm not a Sauvage fan, but I looooooooooove Elixir.
Have to try Luna Rossa Carbon now, too.
If you’ve smelled Sauvage, you’ve smelled its clone, Prada Carbon.

How is the performance of all saints fragrances?
Something about his head-to-body ratio size that make him look like a cartoon.
