holy crap....cant believe its been 15 years! yes, i started watching you and all the OG fragrance reviewers starting 2010......what a journey.. you probably have the one of the best private fragrance collection. good to see you again Marc!
I bought Chergui years ago because of you. I hated it :) lol... 10 + years later. I love it. I guess my nose wasn't ready for it, at the time. Glad to see you're back doing your thing!!
I've been searching for a bottle of Tom Ford Sahara Noir all day before watching your video, unfortunately, I was not lucky but I'm not giving up on it👀👀
Two bottles of New Haarlem, 2 bottles of DHP, 2 bottles of DHI, 3 bottles of Musc Ravageur, 3 bottles of GPHII, 2 bottles of Envy, 2 bottles of Noir Ambre. There's probably a few more, but can't live without these frags.
I’m in the discovery stage of my journey. Probably a few hundred samples but only 5 bottles owned. Definitely a fun hobby, got a La Manufacturer discover set coming hoping for some new stuff. Also, nice glasses- they look great!
Great video. I have never bought back up bottle. I like wearing different things and I am a light sprayer. 2-3 spray. If I really love a scent I might go 4-5. My most used scents are only half empty. Also some days I go scent free just to cleanse my pallet
Sahara Noir! I don't think I've ever sniffed it actually. 🤔 Completely understand why Enchanted Forest deserves a backup though. Great to see Chergui and Ambre Narguile too! Probably wouldn't have picked up decants of both if it wasn't for you Marc. Ou serions-nous sans votre premieres critiques eh? 😄 Hoping the fam is well!
@@robes08 😄 Too rare. But yeah, Lavender Palm, White Patchouli, Bois Rouge and the other 'Fume' one with the Purple sticker among those I've yet to try. I'm a fan of Noir Extreme parfum, but I fear that it's only gonna be downhill from here. Mugler and Guerlain already turned to the dark side and TF was the last of the 3 great designers. Like agent Smith said, it was inevitable. Integration, then the reset.
I've got a backup bottle of Tom Ford London! Both A78 batches, fragrance was discontinued in late 2018. I’ve still got over half of my original bottle left but I really love it.
The Tom Ford I have a backup bottle of is my favorite Tom Ford, Beau de Jour. Among the discontinued frags I have multiple bottles of is Tiffany for Men, Gucci Envy for Men, and YSL Rive Gauche Pour Homme.
Marc, great video. I need to go through my collection and see if there are any fragrances that I should buy back up bottles for. Thanks for doing your video.
I live in SLC Utah. Moved here from California. My bottles are evaporating at an alarming rate. I've only lived here for 4 years but I've emptied my Tobacco Vanille, L'Instant de Guerlain Extreme, and Allure Homme Sport. My Chergui, Pure Malt, Le Male are also close to empty. I'm seriously freaking out. I ended putting plastic wrap over my DHI but I'm not sure if it is working. If I knew this would happen, I would have left my bottles in California.
I usually don't purchase backup bottles, unless it's a really good deal, or my bottle is running really low. Having that said I've checked which ones I actually have right now in my drawer and this is what I have: DHI - it's just awesome, I had to have more than one, so I have silver and black collar versions, Dior Homme Cologne - the new, white one, purchased with solid discount and that I use a lot during summer time, Allure Edition Blanche - nice discount and my bottle is low, Blue de Chanel edp - yeah, I know it's not type Marc, but this is my swiss army knife that simply works for any occasion. I also have extra bottle of Guerlain L'Homme Ideal that got discontinued and last but not least Amouage Reflaction Man - old style bottle without magnetic cap. Probably going to purchase SDV or Tonka Imperiale this year as I'm running really low with these.
I've got 1 backup bottle of TM Pure Malt, TM Pure Havane, Chanel Allure Edition Blanche EDT, D&G Masculine, and 1 backup used tester of Prada Infusion D'Homme.
Great scent, I have 150ml probably have more than half left, that one can be very potent for others to smell on you, it's wierld seems light airy, but I swear I get reactions almost every time I wear that ..
And this summer for my birthday i founded a bottle of Amber Nargulie in Hermes boutique in Kopenhagen Danmark were i was visiting bought it and i love it. Thanks to you it is awsome just beautiful
My backup bottles: D&G The One Gentleman, Guerlain Homme, Issey Miyake Summer 2009, Issey Miyake Yuzu, Boss Bottled Oud, Cartier Declaration Parfum, Davidoff Silver Shadow, Versace The Dreamer, PR 1 Million Cologne, Givenchy Very Irresistible
yeah I'm bad for this kind of stuff. I got 4 bottles of GPH1, 5 tom ford for men extreme, 4 DHP (75ml), 3 DHP (100ml). 3 bottles of the whole vintage Dior homme line. 4 Eau Sauvage EDP (2012), 2 feve delicious, 2 Fahrenheit absolute, 2 TF London, 2 eau noire, 3 YSL opium pour homme EDP, 2 YSL opium pour homme EDT (vintage). 3 noir anthracite, 2 TF noir EDT, 2 Prada amber pour homme intense, 2 Prada lhomme intense, 2 Aramis tobacco reserve and 2 bottles of 1 million prive. think I'm gonna leave it there because it's get silly now. there's more but I'm ashamed of just how much I've already listened 😩
"Quantity is a quality of its own" - I rather not say the name of the person that quoted this because he isn't a someone to admire. Do enough, you're bound to make something right.
Yeah I’m of the mind set that bottles are a one and done ordeal and even then bottles are something you get if a scent is very much to your liking and personality. Otherwise it’s samples, samples, samples
I don't think Tom Ford, being from Texas, is going to care if you pronounce his fragrances in American English. Its not necessary to pronounce them in Canadian French
Thanks for pointing out that Tom Ford won't care. Happy I don't do my videos for him. I'm proud of being French Canadian so that will be part of me and my videos.
I like (and have) most of these as well, but Chergui was always a big fail for me. It flat out stinks. I never had so many complaints from people, especially from females. It’s a nasty scent, IMO.😏
I just blind bought Enchanted Forest. What a stunning fragrance! Truly magical and back up bottle worthy!🦄🔥
holy crap....cant believe its been 15 years! yes, i started watching you and all the OG fragrance reviewers starting 2010......what a journey.. you probably have the one of the best private fragrance collection. good to see you again Marc!
It's been a while lol. Thanks for stopping by!

Appreciate you giving Chergui a 2nd chance, you never know!

Gucci PH2 😢 where did you find it?
Musc Ravageur is next on my list! Solid list!
Wow envy 😍

Welcome aboard to the discovery stage, it's a fun stage!
Great video and I enjoyed it and I like Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille and Chergi and I'm going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed night
Thanks for sharing!!
You welcome keep up the good work GOD BLESS 🙏

You never sniffed SH? Someone like you I would think you'd be on that day 1.

Thanks for watching, appreciate it!
maybe do a Brut review, please. I find it so addicting .(even if is on the least pricey side).
😅 that is a rare request! Not sure if I can afford it tho.. I'll see what I can do
I have backups for all the scents I use the most,,, all will great deals (like half the discount prix)
Robes. I miss the chain. The chain is you. Great video
I’ve only bought backups of Aventus back in 2016 and Dior Homme ( original formulation) Prada Amber ph and Chanel Edimbourg.

I can't get through a bottle. I don't think I'll ever need a backup unless it's discontinued.
I felt the same back in 09 but here we are and some scents are low.
I think I’m going to grab a 100 ml of tobacco Vanille this year
Solid idea, I wanted a 100ml but found another 50 ml for under $200 CAD so I had to get it.
@@robes08 Yeah that's a steal.
I have 6 100ml backup bottles for Clive Christian C Men. It was my first scent that got me into perfumery. Now I have $100k collection
that is alot of C!!
@@robes08 yeah. I love it.
I also have Diaghilev-Roja 3 bottles and Guerlain Heritage 3 and Hermes Bel Ami 3
yeah I'm bad for this kind of stuff.
I got 4 bottles of GPH1, 5 tom ford for men extreme, 4 DHP (75ml), 3 DHP (100ml).
3 bottles of the whole vintage Dior homme line.
4 Eau Sauvage EDP (2012), 2 feve delicious, 2 Fahrenheit absolute, 2 TF London, 2 eau noire, 3 YSL opium pour homme EDP, 2 YSL opium pour homme EDT (vintage).
3 noir anthracite, 2 TF noir EDT, 2 Prada amber pour homme intense, 2 Prada lhomme intense,

I have just two backup right now. Tuscan leather by Tom Ford one of my alltime favorit leather and Individuell by Mont blanc
TL!! Great choice, you know what I still don't own Individuel yet.
