Luis Mendozza i mean dude, i just watched this video he did about clones -- fragrance houses ripping off other houses, disgruntled perfumers, corporate intrigue... i was mesmerized. it was legit one of the most interesting things i've ever seen in my life.
I appreciate the fact you're telling us what not to buy. Everyone just hypes fragrances on RUclips, not many actually are willing to criticize frags. Cheers
Actually, Fahrenheit was reformulated again in 2018 and it’s the best version since appx 2005. The petrol is back and they removed the vanilla that was in the crap formulations. It’s not as potent or as good as vintage but I absolutely recommend the newest formulation of FAHRENHEIT and most seem to agree on the frag groups.
Actually, terrible post reformulations 》》 notice the plural term. My bottle from 6 months ago ( batch number on the bottom of bottle reads 8L01 ) horrible in longevity and sillage.
Yeah, I had it back in 2007 and bought another bottle this year. I’m 38 now and feel like my sense of smell weakened but still like the current version
Fahrenheit is my "scent for life". Sure it's not quite what it once was, but overspraying brings it back. I can still smell it 10h later if I'm liberal. I'm not sure what I'll do if they discontinued it. Sure, I'd be alive, but for what purpose?
Looks like he has Fahrenheit Parfum and not EdT. Considering that FA forbade us to buy Viking Cologne based more on its extraordinary cost rather than the scent itself, I don't think Fahrenheit EdT would provoke his ire.
@@KruBear Le Male Le Parfum is the most overhyped scent of the past. Yesterday I got my first bottle, which was a total disappointment. might be the lack of maturation since it was produced 1 month and 20 days ago. I am hoping it gets better with maceration. 10 sprays are needed to smell something, and after 4 to 5 hours it's not even a skin scent anymore.
I've been in this fragrance "game" for just a few years. I just discovered your videos a few weeks ago. You are quickly becoming my go to! Love the content my man!!!
Thé only honest reviewer I love you bro because of this video you have become my fav reviewer . Lot of respect for your honesty and courage Bcs most of the others they only make advertisement and lie abt many frag with the overhype
YES. Vintage George has returned. With temerity. Sincerity, polarity and general hilarity. 😄 Appreciate the heads up on AH. Any thoughts on Interlude 53? 53% soot? 🏚
Pulled no punches. Loved the honesty. I don't agree with everything. I have a great 2016 bottle of Allure Homme, have a recent bottle of Fahrenheit that is decent though lacks some depth and I love my bottle of African Leather and have enjoyed a few others from the Memo line. Still to each their own. Keep up the good work!
I love the list especially the shot at Creed, Clive Christian and JPG le male flankers. Thank you for CDNIM sillage. Youre the first to review that flanker and the review you made really had some weight to it as compared to other reviewers who just seem to follow your lead but didnt really offer any new insight. Keep it up George!
"...and save your emotional energy" - soo true! Even if I have some pricey vintage stuff (like tin can Rive Gauche) I tend not to use it because of the price
I pooed myself when I see Oud Wood in the thumbnail😅 but I totally agree I’ve only ever brought it on AllBeauty! Glad you had good words about Royal Oud that’s one of my favs too aha
I've become very interested in finding the best "original" formulation batches out there. Like you mention with Chanel Allure, it was pure heaven but had the worst reformulation in history. Could you maybe do a video on the "Best Original Fragrance Formulations Ever" type of video? I, personally, was sparked on this crusade after getting a new decant of one of my childhood favorites, CK one, and the amount of disappointment I experience when I smelled this new stuff was off the scale. Thanks for all you do and most of all thanks for keeping it real with us viewers!
Are Channel Allure home sport and extreme still good or have they been ruined by reformulation? Would really appreciate the advice because they are not cheap fragrances.
Appreciate your honesty and consistency Georges. Le Male used to be a beautiful fragrances when it came out (not the garbage sold today). I sampled some Memo leather frags, I don't understand the hype and would never moved in that direction. Lastly, I picked Cédrat Boisé (very good and was expecting more perf meanwhile) and Halfeti (really love it).
Even though there are thousands of top 10 Lists on youtube. yours are truly a breath of fresh air. Im tired of seeing the same top 10 best seasonal fragrances. Keep doing what youre doing
Great vid. Agree with the le male line. I've been on the parfum Le male train a long time. You did contradict yourself a little but it's not a big deal. Fleur de male is one if those discontinued fragrances. Have a great day
Current batch Fahrenheit is the closest yet to vintage. It’s good, just wears a bit light. Still plenty of vintage bottles floating around, though; I’d say they’re worth it.
Hope you’re right I just bought a new Fahrenheit batch code 1C01 (Production March 2021) Do perfumes get stronger after a few years? btw I’m new to the fragrance world so have no clue how it works
@@astagg5840 Should be ok. I find that perfumes *can* (ymmv) get stronger once you start using them. Fahrenheit isn’t going to be as strong as it was back pre-2012 or so. I find the scent profile of the current batch to be excellent, though. If you aren’t happy with it, let it sit for a couple of months and then go back to it. Keep in mind that our minds (and noses) are tricky: you think the scent is gone, and then a few hours later someone notices it on you, or you start getting some nice wafts from it.
When I was in Coron I once slept at one house in the Barrio, at 6pm they burned this type of amber from a tree, they said to get rid of mosquitos and other bugs. The smoke it produce is dark gray and does stain but the fragrance it produce is definitely fit for a king, the scent is very relaxing and really good, I remember having a good night sleep. They gave me a sample of it but unfortunately it was lost. It is not agarwood I know that one, agarwood has a very sharp smell when burned.
I don't know whether I got a jackpot or an old formulation, but Allure Homme lasts on my skin the whole day. Also a great compliment getter 10/10! The best Chanel scent easily, maybe after BDC parfum.
Fantastic video George! Sometimes I'm grateful I joined the fragrance community later in life so I don't have those attachments to so many discontinued scents.
I have to admit that I'm one that bought way more Le Male flankers than I should have. Most have come and gone without any sense of frustration once they get discontinued. There is one however that I truly enjoy and made me stack up on backup bottles, knowing it would get discontinued like the others of its time. It rarely gets talked about and I would rank it as the best flanker, even over the more recent ones. It is Essence de Parfum (tea colored juice).
I would PayPal you but unfortunately I bought Viking Cologne full retail. Soz!
🤦♂️
Did you get the cologne?
@@MrAlistar99 yes he did ;_;
@@MrAlistar99 him purchasing it live on his channel 😅
POLICE! HELP
why are you so much better at this than every other fragrance youtuber
I agree on your comment because literally I have smelled all the fragrances he talked about and I agree with him

Absolutely❗❗❗ some of these reviewers would hype up a bottle of Creed,Amouage,TF sewer water if it meant they would get a free bottle
This is the kind of quality content I'm subscribed for
The editing and the jokes on this video especially has me cackling 😂
Your honesty and honor is incredible!!!
Yes.
He is angered,. by the sheer indecency of it all.

The best fragrance channel on RUclips tbh.
The last bit was excellent advice that I think everyone needs to hear. Don't buy it, let it go, it won't make you happy. Great stuff!

i prefer vintage but my 2020 bottle does exactly the same for me as the older ones as far as others opinions
Mine smells like the vintage but has no leg!! So weak
I’ve worn Fahrenheit off and on for more than 30 years and my latest bottle is a year old (or so) and is great.
Actually, terrible post reformulations 》》 notice the plural term. My bottle from 6 months ago ( batch number on the bottom of bottle reads 8L01 ) horrible in longevity and sillage.

Loved this "Fifith Element" haircut... Villanish vibes, from the 90s
xD!
I like that crazy actor ^_^
This was absolutely phenomenal! Great content

''And I say to all 3 of You...''
Excellent haha.
I have just learned the word temerity. Thank you George!
Him: "Every single la male flanker except..."
Me: Sweating while holding my bottle of le male le parfum
no ultra male many male hearts have been broken
I literally just bought Le beau.
Haha

Thank you for your honesty.
Honestly.
Ahh you’re nailing it George. Keep up the stellar work. A change of name to the Fragrance Judge maybe?
I took your advice and pulled the trigger on Baldessarini Ultimate. Can't wait till it arrives! Thanks! 😁
You will absolutely love it. Purchased this last year after George reviewed it. Soooooooo much better then my Creed.
Man, you are incredible!!!!
My favorite part was the Metal Gear Solid sound effect with question mark.
That was invaluable advice, Sir-
*TtHANKYOU VERY MUCH*
Not only are you one of my favourite cologne channels, you are in my top 10 of all time favourite RUclips channels for the past 7 years
These videos are epic, and we appreciate your truthful reviews
"what i have, i'll enjoy, and then you gotta let it go." Great video my brother!!

Loool love these types of videos no filter
Good point about searching for discontinued frags.
Hands down, the best fragrance youtuber of all time.
Keep up the great work, much appreciated.
"...and save your emotional energy" - soo true! Even if I have some pricey vintage stuff (like tin can Rive Gauche) I tend not to use it because of the price
The edits had me dying on multiple occasions
Love the energy , power , strength , Kraft.
Kraft does not belong here
This is the most entertaining fragrance video I've seen on RUclips! Just so good.. Thanks for your contribution!
😆 this feels like a killa frags video… LOVE IT
I pooed myself when I see Oud Wood in the thumbnail😅 but I totally agree I’ve only ever brought it on AllBeauty! Glad you had good words about Royal Oud that’s one of my favs too aha
George you are great!
Bravo Sir, bravo
we need a part 2 of this asap!
It‘s so good to hear an honest review.
Not that standard bullshit reviews of „industry bought“ reviewers
Editing is 🤌🏼 * Chefs kiss*

Awesome as always G. Also, The editing👍👍👍👌👌👌
Best review hands down. Best fragrance reviewer in the world !!!!!!
I love the style of this video! The humour and self-irony suits you very well!
Finally I found someone that I totally agree with
Great work love it!
This gave me a chuckle, brilliant 🏴
Agree on most of these. Reformulations are so sad 😞
Appreciate your honesty and consistency Georges.

Genius video!! One of my favourites from you so far.
Great video and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
thank you for waking me up.. 😱
Please more of this content 🙏 😊
I agree with this video. I only buy discontinued bottles at the time they are discontinued before the prices get out of control.
Great video. I have never bought a fragrance for retail price. Always between 20%-50% discount. Designer and Niche
Even though there are thousands of top 10 Lists on youtube. yours are truly a breath of fresh air. Im tired of seeing the same top 10 best seasonal fragrances. Keep doing what youre doing
Great vid. Agree with the le male line. I've been on the parfum Le male train a long time. You did contradict yourself a little but it's not a big deal. Fleur de male is one if those discontinued fragrances. Have a great day
What he said about Fahrenheit is absolutely correct, had the same thoughts after buying it.
My friend Joss sent me. You're right up my street, sir. *Comically and vocabularily (
Love your videos man , top 3 frag channels for sure
As always George thank you for the video!! I take your reviews very seriously!!! Keep em coming
Gorgeous video
Agree with every point. Glad I never re-bought vintage La Nuit cause Bleu Electrique smells the same...
the editing on this vid is top tier

Never thought I would get this much humor in a fragrance channel. I just had to subscribe😂
Excellent.. "take care of your money" much appreciated ✌🏾

Insight and humour. Please keep it up!!
Bought Fahrenheit a few years back-still worth it if you love the smell of petrol, grass & lawnmowers.
Fahrenheit still smells good. I smelled it on somebody a couple years ago and had to buy a bottle.
EPICCC VIDEOOOO!! George you are killing it, one of the most entertaining fragrance content right here! What a rollercoaster ride, love your humor.
Subscribed a week ago. No regrets at all.
I don't know whether I got a jackpot or an old formulation, but Allure Homme lasts on my skin the whole day. Also a great compliment getter 10/10! The best Chanel scent easily, maybe after BDC parfum.
best fragrance video I've seen all year
Another great video, well done and thank you :)
Honest straight to the point! Great video , creed sucks now , i to got robbed when i buy green irish tweed recently. You can hardly smell it
I started to laugh before I pressed that play button....HILARIOUS name of the list! :D :D
Brilliant idea for a review... kudos brother 👍
Love the humour. Keep up the videos like this!
Thanks George.
Very informative video
Fahrenheit 2022 - you are 100% correct. Faith no more on my favourite perfume of all time.
