The reason so few people are hyping Golden Oud, is because nobody can buy it. I've checked every online store i can buy from. None of them has ever had 1 Million Golden Oud in stock.
Paco rabanne official website always have it in stock. They go out of stock quick because they are not releasing in high quantities at a time but always come back in. If it’s out of stock it gives you an option to put your email in to be notified when they are back in and they will do that. I done the same when I bought it
@Beardsome10 ah, I didn't check På Paco Rabanne's website. I didn't think they sold to individual people. I've tried to get it there, but it says "excolusive" and can't be bought. Probably restricted where I live. I don't know.
@Beardsome10 I live in Norway, which is in Europe. But we aren't part of EU, so the rules are sometimes weird. There are a lot of fragrances I can't get. Like Aaron Herence Hughes doesn't ship here at all. The big European online stores doesn't ship here either. Sucks, but I'm getting used to it.
Bois Primitif has been in my winter rotation since I saw you describe it on your channel. I also ordered Deep Waters and Mineral Wood from this house, so I can’t wait to wear them because I used up the samples the week that I got them.
Dear Heaven.. HOW have I never heard of this Claudio Zucca Parfum house.. I just took a gander at his house and I cant wait to try the majority of his offerings Many thanks for this great vid. Cheers
Early 2023 was a scary time for all of the frag comm... but then you came back so all is right in the world now. TBH you had me a little worried over the break haha, but i understand you're working on lots of new stuff!
I agree with you wholeheartedly regarding Golden Oud. After testing it out on my skin, I made sure to get a back up bottle. I can definitely see it getting discontinued due to marketing. I absolutely love it!
I loved that part during Rule of 72. You always give so grounded and mature advice, that often hits home for me. In case you search for some vetiver scents, I do recommend Caron Aimez-Moi Comme Je Suis. Rooty vetiver mixed with hazelnuts. Etat libre d'Orange executes the same idea but uses vanilla instead of hazelnuts. Carven Vetiver. It was the predocessor to the great Guerlain Vetiver. Current formulation is not the same, but it is still enjoyable crispy vetiver mixed with some benzoin and lemongrass. And yeah, I guess I have to order discovery set from 27 87. Cheers George.
Seems like there are many haters out there of Paco Rabanne 1 Million But Paco Rabanne should never be underated, especially the 1 Million line. Paco Rabanne is awesome for the 1 Million line. Your the best, a great 1 Million fan You Tube expert You've really made my day about Paco Rabanne 1 Million, whichever one I choose to use whether it's the latest one or the original. I loved your review about the original in the video that you made in 2019. At last I feel like a fragrance expert is on the same level as how I feel that Paco Rabanne is seriously underrated and not given the credit that it deserves.
George have you ever tried putting your favorite single malt into a spray bottle and applying it to neck and wrists? I wonder what the projection and sillage would be. A bargain vintage fragrance at £50 for 750ml.
I could have sworn the Guerlain chosen for this video came out in 2022. I heard Guerlain and I figured perhaps Tobacco Honey was going to be the Guerlain chosen. It's a beautiful fragrance. I personally love Jubilation 40, which somehow missed the lineup completely in this video. I knew Absolu Aventus would be shunned too based on other videos done by this reviewer. While the price is too much, I find it to be the best version of Aventus I've ever tried. I LOVE it and my my wife LOVES it even more. People at work love it as well.
@@jimlittle5769 na armaf milestone is just as good. Im no niche snob by any means but creed absolutely grapes us on aventus. I own a full bottle of GiT myself, but it was like $180 tester a few yrs ago. What theyre doing now, seems criminal against the plebs Ill rag on any brand that is $7 per ML and stand shoulder to should with anyone else who brings those absurd prices to my attention.
I watched this video on 2x double speed, AND, I made a personal list of all 9 men’s fragrances! Thanks, FA P.S. What is your first name? I like your channel. You are passionate about cologne.
Second 🗿🗿🗿 I don't like commenting before finishing the video, but I had to do this at least once 😤 Also George, I just wanted to say i literally watch your videos every day religiously from season 1 to 2024, You are my favourite fragrance icon 🔥🙏
Ordered a bottle of the One Million Oud from the PR site off the back of this. Sadly it didn't come with the promised 1ml sample to 'try before you buy' so I had to open it. Reminds me very much of 'Black Tie' by Fragrance One and to a lesser extent, Bvlgari Man Terrae Essence. I don't get any oud, real or synthetic.
For those curious abt Rule of 72, simply go enjoy Amouage Interlude. I can't believe this man has not smelled it, because the comparison is obvious. Also, while 1 Million Golden Oud IS fantastic, it's also very similar to Nishane Papilefiko.
If you want experience scotch whisky in perfume, try Fumidus by Profumum Roma, whilst the best rum is Fleur Cachee by Lebreton. To me, that, is pure rum
Didn’t even watch the video completely and ordered golden Oud. I know that I can probably trust your nose, been a long time that I’m that excited for a fragrance except for the good ole Paco Rabanne pour homme
Have fun at the Royal Rumble mate! Have you ever thought of doing a video or series combining wrestling and fragrance? Pick a wrestlers career and compare it to a fragrances popularity, maybe. Do a livestream wrestling promotion type video? You know for shits and giggles! ✌️
It is available on the U.K. Paco Rabanne website. I managed to get a bottle when they did a “limited release” last year. It’s definitely in stock on their official website and yeah, it’s worth the £ IMO.
Nerolia Vetiver Forte still the best alternative to Penhaligon's Cousin Matthew imo. Alongside Mugler's Come Together. A very interesting line up George. I think that PR gets compared with Halfeti?
Your take on rule of 72 sounds very telling of what's going on in your head and it sounds like maybe this scent is keeping you in the chamber in your head and not going out and smelling those flowers of what your life could be. It may connect with you and you like it, but is it worth it if it keeps you still in life feeling that way? Just a thought. I do appreciate you're sharing scents not really covered on most other channels. Your visual descriptions are always amazing takes, too.
Still not sure yet…do you like Golden Oud?!🤣 Great review, however, had no idea what seven of those were at all… Only knew the JPG Elixir, Gucci guilty elixir, and of course the 1 Million Golden Oud
He's worked diligently at it via a ketogenic diet. Hopefully, he's happy with his success. As one who's done the same himself, I'm definitely happy for him.
@@troubauk yeah definitely If you enjoy oud and leather. I enjoy oud but not leather. Didn’t expect it to be so prominent so it was a hard pass for me. Very much reminds me of ombré leather which I hate.
I've just broken my golden rule of never blind buying anything after a YT recommendation. Fuck. Hope I love it too. Well done to Paco Rabanne who send out a small sample of it so you can try it first. If you don't love it you can send the bottle back and get a refund. Available on their website for about £100
It’s funny that Quentin Bish created both Gucci elixir and Le Male elixir and from the two it’s Gucci that is actually closer to Le Male DNA than the latest flanker of JPG
You found out that you dont like a fragrance, only after you bought 2 bottles of it? And not just a fragrance, but a 500$ for 75ml fragrance? We are not too bright lately... Aren't we
George, Are we going to get a review of Gucci Guilty Elixir? Also... actually bought into the wild by Statik Olfactive based on your recommendation and tried the 10ml sample right before new years. Ok first the good. It’s got an amazing atomizer. Like wow. It almost creates a mist. Fantastic. Hopefully it’s refillable and I can keep the atomizer for other fragrances. Now the bad. It smells… to put it in a good way, not well. As an ex cigarette smoker, the first few sprays make me feel like I just had a smoke in the forest. Super gross. Then intense green pine mint overpowers everything and it smells like skol green chewing tobacco. Not the best smell in the world. It settles in nicely as a really cheap mint green car freshener that hangs from the rear view mirror. My hispanic girlfriend said I smell like a Mexican Uber driver who has a dirty car, and just sprayed this shit in it to mask the smell of dirt. Would not recommend wearing this around women. They fucking hate it.
Lmao i definitely Didnt get the vibe that u were a sports guy lol. The WWE analogies are great. I never cared for punk i dont see why ppl like him and why he is so popular
First time i do not agree with George... So Over.... For me, such blind buy is a mistake ... I am talking about the one million oud thing..... Oud at the beginning and then same what we know about onemillion People were just trying to get into gulf market, i think they won't with this...and it will be discontinued so yes, get many bottles George Michella is a bit advanced in oud, i don't think this would impress her....
Who cares if its real oud or not? Only frag heads like you. Ordinary normal people care about 2 things alone: how does it smell and how well does it perform. If it smells good, it can be the fakest oud ever, i dont care.
You forgot to mention that this is your personal opinion. Calling someone delusional based on subjective preference, is delusional. Also, hard to take you seriously with an anime character as your profile...
I’m dying to get my nose on that .. actually I’m going to blind buy it . Very soon . Immediately. Wish I had some spare money. Might postpone getting more pure xs cos am getting low. and code absolu .. how much ?? , - it’s good but it’s not THAT - good. And I still have a 60 bottle that is more full than not full . Golden oud huh 🤔…. 📣❇️🔆💚🔑🦠⚱️🧪🏆🐲🌞

14:00 *this part was the highlights of this video, golden words by George* ❤
Yes. Wise words indeed
I am glad I watched until the very end.
Dat Michella roast 🤣🤣🤣
Golden Oud is a middle eastern exclusive and not available at most retailers. I got to sample it today at a middle eastern perfume shop
The analogy between fragrance and music genres is pure brilliance!
Bois Primitif has been in my winter rotation since I saw you describe it on your channel. I also ordered Deep Waters and Mineral Wood from this house, so I can’t wait to wear them because I used up the samples the week that I got them.
I own a bottle of Into The Wild. I own nothing else like it in my early 200 fragrance collection. It’s special.
Yes, I gotta agree with you on that Golden Oud
Interesting list. Hyped to try the 1 Million and Guilty flankers.
Dear Heaven.. HOW have I never heard of this Claudio Zucca Parfum house.. I just took a gander at his house and I cant wait to try the majority of his offerings
Many thanks for this great vid.

Cool list George! I'll be checking these fragrances out!
Brilliant as always George, well done buddy and i will 100% be trying the Paco Rabbane fragrance now! Best wishes from the wirral mate
I really have my eyes on into the wild, rule of 72, mineral wood, centauri elixir and o hello. Thanks George for the awesome suggestions :)
lol that Michela callout was savage
Early 2023 was a scary time for all of the frag comm... but then you came back so all is right in the world now. TBH you had me a little worried over the break haha, but i understand you're working on lots of new stuff!
Wore Gucci elixir today at work, lasted all day. People were saying it was too strong and loud but I enjoyed it 😂
A sample spray lasted 3 weeks on my jacket sleeves. Unfortunately, it smells cheap and offensive to my nose
I agree with you wholeheartedly regarding Golden Oud. After testing it out on my skin, I made sure to get a back up bottle. I can definitely see it getting discontinued due to marketing. I absolutely love it!

The michella shoutouts after golden oud had me dying 😂💀
So intriged to try golden oud by your reaction but at a glance it will be so hard to find online
Now watch me oooooooooud. Fragrance boy tell 'em
When you describe gucci Guilty elixir suddenly i recall your boss bottled oud aromatic review

PR Golden Oud is hard to get. It seems not available in Europe.
Try E bay there are EU sellers having it
I was shocked how much I liked Guilty elixir but I love reflection man so I’m not ready to agree total
I don’t get the Le male elixir hype. I bought a bottle a was like. Meh, it’s ok. Guilty elixir might be my next purchase.

Gucci Guilty Elixir smells like mothballs and I can't changed that!

Bought two bottles of Absolu aventus and wear it less than aventus. Because I don’t like bubblefum

Does 1 million golden oud use real oud? I know how some designers just use an accord. I can't be number 1 if it's fake oud. How long does it last?
Who cares if its real oud or not? Only frag heads like you. Ordinary normal people care about 2 things alone: how does it smell and how well does it perform. If it smells good, it can be the fakest oud ever, i dont care.
You are delusional. Golden Oud is really forgettable, not as good as Lucky, Prive or Royal.
It Bodies both of those in my humble opinion.
You forgot to mention that this is your personal opinion. Calling someone delusional based on subjective preference, is delusional. Also, hard to take you seriously with an anime character as your profile...
