      Every time I watch a short form video and wish it were longer (for people without short attention spans) I get slightly annoyed. This long form is SO much better for certain types of videos. Now give us more reviews by Dov Lazlow please.

      Thank you for valuing your time, passion, our time, our passion.
      Fck RUclips’s inhuman algorithms.
      We are thankful for connecting with us, human to human.
      It's SO refreshing.

    I’m moving out in two weeks and getting married two weeks afterwards. I’m listening to this while I run my last errands at my parents house. Thank you * George for providing this long video. You released your Homme 1 hour video when I needed that one also. Crazy how time works. I’m so glad your back to doing videos. They are much needed.

    This sort of content (as with much of your content) is exactly what fragrance RUclips needs. Heartfelt, serious, not shallow. I feel like I’ve learnt something rather than just being told to buy something, despite it being a top 10.

  • @Schatje79
    @Schatje79 Год назад +7

    I'm only 10 minutes into the video but I can emphatically answer "yes," please consider doing more videos like these going forward from time to time. It's fun, relaxing, and I learn a thing or two about fragrances I don't have and may want to sample. Even if I'm multi-tasking, I enjoy listening for the previously mentioned reasons and it also keeps me from potentially getting overwhelmed. It feels like when you're in the process of being productive but have a friend with you to keep things light.

  • @genuinetool

    Even if I didnt personally enjoy this format (which i definitely do), I'd still ve hugely supportive if this video. When a creator understands how to milk the algorithm, but choses to do something completely different for reasons of art and integrity: that's worth a like.

Your metaphors are well thought out, your demeanor is honest and natural, and overall, you seem like you're having a much better time. Thanks for caring and for putting effort into these videos where other people would simply phone them in. You really do make me appreciate fragrances more

    It’s great to see a content creator doing what they want as opposed to what the algorithm demands. There’s a definite audience for more considered long-form content. After all, Joe Rogan doesn’t appear to do too badly from it.

    I love the imaginative yet realistic and honest way you describe fragrances. How fragrances capture people, places, and things in remarkable, mutifacted detail is fascinating. I haven't seen a lot of people approaching fragrance this way. I wouldn't mind more of this video style at all. Although I think you should do both long and short style videos.

    One thing I appreciate about this video is that there's no reason to hide the picks from the chapters or description, and you pick a few of them up & talk about something else before announcing it. It's a small thing, but a lot of fragrance top 10s are so secretive of what's next to try to make sure you watch everything for the reveals. In a long form video, there's no need for it because you're not just here for a name & placement

  • @natureboy769

    I totally agree with you the price of neroli portofino by TF is an insult considering that formulation is one they teach every perfumer. Case and point 4711 cologne smells literally like neroli portofino, and bvlgari wood neroli which I love and is one of my signature scent, and also fun fact neroli isn’t being used a lot in perfumes because it’s really expensive now since it’s one of the secret oils in Coca Cola, it’s known coke buys up almost all the neroli in production, and also the method of extraction for neroli is pretty difficult, all these factors into why neroli isnt used as much in perfumes as they once were.

    @lifestylechoices4u789 Год назад

    Loving this new style video George, it’s soft easy to listen to and not rushed. I love seeing this relaxed and real you, just taking it easy and talking about what you love and enjoy. I would definitely recommend more of this longer style content, keep it going. Also I own 100ml wood neroli and love it. It’s strange because I never really got on with neroli scents a few years back. Until I was in the Hermes store one day and sprayed their Eau De Neroli EDC. It changed my opinion completely, I then also received a sample of Bvlgari wood neroli when buying their wood essence frag. I enjoyed it so much I went out and purchased a full bottle. 😊

In depth, personal and with real care - communicating both technically and emotionally - by sharing your experience with the scents and - equally importantly - what each one MEANS to you. Thanks for the welcome pattern interrupt my brother. Bravo!

    Nice thoughtful analysis of Eau Sauvage parfum. Wore Eau Sauvage edt today.. was my late grandfather’s scent. I didn’t know it was a fragrance when he was still around. As I was young, I just thought that was his natural smell. Happened upon Eau Sauvage when I got into fragrances years later and instantly slipped back in time. I hope to always have Eau Sauvage in his memory. (I haven’t smelled the parfum yet.

On a side note, Bvlgari Man Wood Neroli is thus far my favorite citrus aromatic/woody floral musk to wear.

    Rarely commenting, but again I really appreciate your in depth content, where you describe fragrances very thoroughly but also explain why you actually like them or why it's a good scent to try (or buy). Because in the end many people don't want to buy a new 100€ fragrance every month so we need some carefully good picked choices presented by you.

    16:01 I have to disagree. Sauvage is the new generation’s ADG. How can you say Dior didn’t innovate with this fragrance? It took the boring citrus fragrance and took it to a new level. If you were to smell Sauvage without being jaded, it’s unbiasedly a nice fragrance. Dopest campaign. Iconic bottle. Recognizable scent. Mass appeal. Best selling. Wouldn’t anyone working on a fragrance want this?

    The reason "Top 10" videos are boring and generic is that there are no interest in educating or informing the viewer. All they want is the dead eyed views, nothing else. I love the concept and look forward to seeing it (hopefully) revitalize the fragrance community. We desperately need it.

  • @adenwellsmith6908

      ​@@TheFragranceApprentice Came down here to say that. With other long form content that I consume (mainly music reactions and video essays) they always break their video down with chapters, that's just commentary on the meta for those videos is all! Seems to work well for them.
      That might make some people stay longer, because for example here they may see their favourite fragrance on this list and skip to hear what you say about that. Those people may have just clicked off entirely if they had not seen that, so it's better than nothing.
