Dear AC, I really enjoyed this episode. I always wondered what you did for a living and your hobbies. I'm glad you enjoy what you do. Now I feel like I know you a little bit more and I appreciate you even more. Much love to you mate, Delfina
Felllllaaaas @ 500 - Absolutely magnificent watching you and knowing about your journey, nuances of how disruptions came and how u overcame and created a niche for yourself.
Hey AC, first of all congratulations for your 500th video. Great milestone. I found the video so interesting that I can write an essay on it. Alas! It’s a public forum. Interestingly I found there is another interest that connects us apart from fragrances, cyber sec. Anyway, thanks for book recommendations, like any book lover, I always look out for good reads. I kind of see myself in fragworld where you described somewhat about ten or fifteen years back. And feel bad that I missed those reviewers’ days. I kind of started with Jeremy, but didn’t take too long to realise something is wrong. I couldn’t believe how a fragrance from top 5 could go missing from all the future lists. Unfortunately I did get some bottles after watching such videos and am not a big fan of those. They make the cabinet look pretty and full. It was after watching your videos that I started valuing samples, until then it was like $ per ml. Not good application of mathematics I guess :) All right, I’m happy that I stumbled upon your videos. I get opportunity to learn and not just get entertained. I hope it was weekend and I could write more, unfortunately it’s work day (morning) down under. So keep it up, looking forward to more great reviews. Thank you.
Ah, the good ol' Basenotes days. I really enjoyed the forums and swapping bottles with other members. This was a wonderful video, and thank you for sharing. Congratulations, AC 🎉
Love this! One of my favourite videos of yours yet! If you’re into mathematics, watch the film Pi (1998): Max Cohen, a mathematician, believes he can decode the universal patterns by finding a key number. But his quest for the key number triggers some aggressive people with hidden intentions. You’ll like it!
Congrats on the 500 AC! And thank you for all that you've given us. Thanks to you, I feel like I have not just a more refined taste in perfumes but you've also helped me to hold myself accountable to a much more respectable standard in life in general.
Congratulations, AC, on your 500th video! How wonderful that this video allowed us to learn more about you-thank you for that. Kristo has always been my favorite reviewer, and it’s beautiful to hear that he has been a source of inspiration for you.
What an absolute joy to watch this 500th video! The explanation about your passions are a very well mixed set of skills. End to end thinking mathematics chess. And cricket. I think during your absence not one subrcriber left your channel because there is something very passionate and polite about your personality. I am not a frequent commenter, but i watch every video you put online. I hope to see much more content from you in the future. And above all congratulations with the 500th video. Kind regards, NV
This was a great review!!! Yes AC lets make fragcom great again and bring back the true love of fragrances. I have learned a lot from your content and you and a few others inspire me to start my own RUclips channel and for that I thank you sir.
Fragcom followed the same trajectory as the horological community. I’m very fortunate to have been a part of these during their heyday. These newcomers don’t know what they missed out on :) Congrats AC!!
Congrats AC, and a heartfelt thank you for bringing us content that really resonates with many of us out there who have the same passion for, fascination with and deep understamding of how the artistry of perfumery enriches our lives. You do it the right way. Here's to many more great vids from you! SOTN: Oscar de la Renta, Pour Lui :) Greetings from Frankfurt, Germany
You have been making an effort to enrich people/subscribers lives, by sharing your thoughts on perfumery and making our lives better/more beautiful by enjoying beautiful perfumery, I don't know if there is anything better than that in the fragcom (beside creating one of course). Congratulations Sir!!!.... BTW really looking forward for the garden + perfume review :)
Congrats again! I forgot to suggest you bring back the old intro and music for your 500th video. Take care and thanks for all of the good fragrance advice, thought provoking proverbs and positive attitude.
Thank you AC for showing us another side of you and what interests you. Your analysis of fragrances is in depth but spoken in a way anyone can understand. You're the opposite of s shill. I'd be interested to hear your take on the Fragrance One line by Jeremy.
Congrats on acheiving a milestone in your esteemed fragrant journey, looking forward to 5,000 more AC, many thanks for including all of us in your journey 🥂🍻👍🏻
I’m not sure if someone has mentioned it already, but when you said chess, I instantly thought of the Mind Games fragrance brand. Interesting concept if it appeals to you. Thank you for another great video.
Hi AC! Mike from Liverpool here. Just wanted to say I’m a new subscriber, love your content. In a world of “underhand” practices, you are a ray of sunshine. Us “FELLA’S!” are lucky to have you 👍🏼
Salaams my dear friend. Long time, no contact. Don’t worry I still watch all videos, but as u know, being of same heritage and upbringing in the UK, we hardly impose. Top notch upload and amazed that we both are nerds (positively), played chess since primary school and cricket. Science, space, mysteries, gardening plus for me it was the magic of the human body (hence into medicine). Of course fragrance passion along with watches and other sartorial money drainers. Best of luck and congratulations. Prof
So nice to get to know you better and hear your story, AC. Congratulations to the 500th video! Looking forward to another 500 at least! What a surprise you are a motorcycle rider, that I would not have guessed at all. This year I decided to finally buy a motorcycle as well and it is now taking over all my other hobbies. I went with 2008 Yamaha XT 660 X and I love absolutely love it. Now it's too cold here in CZ to ride it so I started working on it a bit and improving / fixing things that need to be done. My wife is not that happy about it, though :D
Lovely Video as always AC... Love your work and you're a top notch reviewer as you cover all aspects of a fragrance, from the notes, to its longevity, to the occassion and season for the wearer and that much I appreciate. I have bought a couple of Middle Eastern Rasasi fragrances upon your reccomendation, and not once have you missed in terms of the quality of your picks my good Sir. I bought Rasasi Al Wisam Day upon your recommendation from your very ealry reviews and I am in Love with that fragrance. I'd like to point out that you're quiet a very good engaging and very informative narrator, very open minded and you have a loving humble spirit about you. A very approachable and friendly gentleman. It's wonderful to follow someone whom you share some hobbies with in as far as reading and sports and in my earlier years I actually played cricket and chess and quiet was good at math too and I also work in the IT Financial industry for over 20 years to be exact. Keep up the good work as a reviewer we truly appreciate you opening your door and also taking that much needed haitius from the Frag Comm and giving us a second coming of a brilliant mind in the game. The fact that you cover all fragrance types and share your views on all fragrances, from a cheapie to Nieche and Indie makes you a master in this game. All I have to say is Thank You for sharing and keep going, the Future can only be brighter and may the Universe conspire to make all your desires a reality. One Love from a fellow connoisseur all the way from South Africa. 👏🙌🤝 *My Scent of the Say is Woody Style by Arabian Oud*
Dear Mr. AC, thanks for the video. I appreciate you for being a complete man as a gentleman should be with humbleness, enormous knowledge and good status. I like how you respect this world with genuine thoughts. I wish you get everything success. God bless you. ( I was expecting that you would reveal your real name and the name of your native place in India 😊) . Best regards.
Your method of smelling the essential oils is called the Jean Carles method in the DIY Perfumery world. A very important methodology to train your nose!
Always sensed there would be things common between us, didn't know so many. Thank you for sharing this side of you AC. Much appreciated. Sometime in the near future would love to hear your thoughts about the creations from 'Rogue Perfumery', thank you.
I do think you should start a separate RUclips channel for these passions that you talked about and club them all into one! You have a lot to share besides fragrances sir 👍
Congratulations on all of your RUclips success, AC! I have to admit, I was saddened when you went on hiatus a while back but I'm glad you're back. Your lowkey personality is why I gravitate towards your reviews. As a matter of fact, you are the only fragrance reviewer I'm subscribed to at the moment. All of the other channels were too repetitive and trying to sell us something in every video. I listened to this entire video in one sitting. Now I must go to bed haha.
Congrats for the 500th episode! You've mentioned very truly the number one misleading factor that plagues people's minds and opinions, "influencers". True reviewers that take their time, honesty and passion to offer sincere and knowledgeable opinions about fragrances are most unfortunately a minority. Thank you for belonging to the minority!
I subscribed after watching some of your videos the other day, so I'm not sure if you have yet reviewed ( Sacred by Louis cardin) I recently bought a bottle and it is a pretty special fragrance, the first 30 minutes on my skin it's to feminine but then it comes together beautifully, I get vanilla caramel hint of chocolate there is a lot going on with this fragrance but it blends nicely, and when I spray my jumper and smell it at the end of the day (yes longevity is decent) it has a joop homme vibe but smells natural is the best way I can describe it, I would be very interested in seeing your opinion on Louis Cardin Sacred, it also only costs around £30 for 100ml which is amazing considering it is high quality, it is middle Eastern so that is probably why the price is low for this high quality fragrance, it is EDP and bubbles linger in the bottle indicating it is oily, it is excellent value and something unique, I still haven't figured this fragrance out properly but I respect this fragrance a lot especially if it doesn't resemble any other fragrance, it might not be for everyone but I'm sure everyone would like the smell of it, it might be a little bit sweet for some people but it is a smooth chocolate pudding type of sweet it is not synthetic! And it is not masculine nor feminine, it smells edible whilst still noticeably a fragrance, that's the best way I can describe it.
thanks for this video. and never stop or change what you are doing. 🤙🏾 you and robes08 are the only two actual reviews I've got left that I'm subbed to. and unfortunately the fragcom is only going to get worse. .. because now you got the tiktok kids to deal with. you know when you're an adult or a parent and there's some things you just don't tell kids? well, it looks like the fragcom is one of them. ...I blame Jeremy. 😂
Well that’s an hour I won’t get back !!! Im joking of course , it was fascinating to hear about all your passions and your fragrance journey. Thankyou very much , i can see it took a lot of effort. Take care ac
........ We Love You, AC ........
AC, my brother. YOU. ARE. AWESOME.
The level of authenticity you have is unmatched.
a genuine "THANK YOU!" for this video, man!
offered a lot of perspective on fragrance content and how to view fragrances!
take care and cheers!
Thanks for opening up to us AC, great story, cheers 🍻
Great video and I enjoyed it and congratulations on your accomplishments and have a blessed night
This was a great video, well-watched with my coffee, a nice cigar, and a couple sprays of Xerjoff Homme 17/17 while watching the sun set!
What kind of cigar?
