    Dan & Jo, this will be a bit of a ramble but you're my number one favourite revierers to watch because your tastes are so very similar to mine plus you aren't like other frag reviewers who just love everything they smell simply because the brand sends them free bottles. I always keep my pen and paper when I watch because I'm jotting down "to sample" lol and oh man the list is long...I don't think I'll ever get through it. Ha. Dan, I love Tchilia, Chypre Palatin, Areej le Doré, Tobacco Rose, Amber Aurea even though it's linear which some ppl complain about PR it's so concentrated that after showering I still get whiffs.
    Jo, L'Artisan was my first foray down the niche (hate that term anymore) rabbit hole and I love many of their fragrances, Oudh being the first time I smelled it but since then I've branched out to Russian Adam but I've never tried Sultan Pasha. I do have Ensar Oud Sultan Leather Attar which is, for me, amazing. And Jo I looove Antonio Gardoni/Maai but was very disappointed in MEM. I've also seen Geo F Trumper Sandalwood but becoming a perfume snob anymore I'm thinking inexpensive cologne = meh but it's true one need not spend a fortune on a quality scent. So thanks guys for this video- it's one of my favourites! Have a great weekend...

    Thank you guys for suggesting Pegwell Bay. I ordered one of the small samples and it arrived in just a few days. This fragrance blows my mind and like one of you guys commented in another upload ''if this was a Creed, everyone would be raving about it'' I couldn't agree more and it's a good lesson for me as I am fairly knew in my obsession for fragrances and it just shows that it's not just the Tom Ford's etc(even as good as some as them are) that I should be looking out for. There are many ''hidden'' gems out there. Next stop is ''Sandalwood'' and then perhaps some ''Morah''. Thanks again guys for the excellent content.

    It’s great fun to hear about people’s fragrance memories and evolution. I could have guessed a few of these myself, as I’ve watched all your videos! Top ten lists are boring when people just list the notes but when they share their relationships with scent, it’s altogether different. Keep up the wonderful content! You two are a delight.

      The reformulations of this house are near tragic. L’Artisan was the first niche house I visited a shop of and it was thrilling. I’ve given up on them snd after your recent reviews of their new offerings I’d say it’s time to mourn. Hyperbole? Nope.

    Good reviews, guys. thanks. While I appreciate the gentlemen's format and wonderful choices and opinions of fragrances, may I make a small general observation having watched quite a number of your episodes now ? I've noticed on video after video, when you are simultaneously sharing the camera, Jo seems prone to contributing, on the heels of Dan's comments, in a very nice elucidating/clarifying/facilitating/supporting sort of capacity which tends to help provide a nice sense of levity and mutual respect; whereas, Dan, you seem to have a tendency, rather, to often drop (and even interrupt) Jo's opinion/train-of-thought and to allow/suffice your own to 'prevail'. It can be a bit ... discomforting ?

    Bought an unopened bottle of vintage Mitsouko from 1990 and I was disappointed.
    The juice has lost all of it's top notes and has no longevity whatsoever- hard to relive the past, oh well.
    Thinking of a bottle of Diaghilev.
    Kafkaesque has mentioned that Chypre Palatin was reformulated to death in 2015-16, IFRA makes me think twice from ordering the classic big French houses like Guerlain, Dior, Chanel...
