I think part of the reason they're the most worn is that I was low on them and I wanted to use em up lest they go off. Rare that any of us finish a bottle nevermind two at the same time!
loved to hear your top ten spring summer. Question: i didn't understand if l'instant in the square bottle (yes, it's horrible) is like the old or much, much worse.
Ma liberte is such a Devine 80s perfume. The quality is just outstanding. Thanks for highlighting it.. in addition, I used to have bois ardent I thought it was absolutely beautiful, but I just couldn’t get more than 45 minutes out of it and had to sell the bottle. I firmly believe that you were correct if it’s possible to find an older bottle the lasting power is probably a lot better.
You should wear Adidas cologne from 1985. Great spring fragrance. And as Ramsey said it smells just as high quality is a Creed. Great video as always,Duck
@@RichMitch mine is in perfect condition. If it's reasonable price to send samples to the UK from California I'll send you one if you get a PO box. It might take long because I got laid off from my company moved out of state . But you have to try it.
@@onewontdo just us on a live stream some time, we are a friendly bunch! Love ma liberte, smells really high end... especially now in today's perfume climate
I’d heard a lot of good things about MDCI’s Chypre Palatin and sampled it. It’s a nice fragrance, though Invasion Barbare sounds very appealing. I will be seeking a sample of that.
from the top ten most worn? Well, you’ve heaped loads of praise on Pavarotti, which I’ve known about for years but never bothered to try. But I’m like you, Rich, my loves lurk mainly in the Autumn-Winter realm. I’m in the market for a leather perfume, and as you mentioned “birchy”, I’m eagerly anticipating your wearing of Peau d’Espagne.
Yes, and man have I struggled with that one. My sample of Cuir has lasted a long time. I’m always interested in what I refer to as the “character of a fragrance”. I like what Cuir intends to do, but what I get is second-hand-nicotine-residue-that-gets-on-your-clothes, if you know what I’m talking about. Since you mentioned it, I’m going to bring out my sample and re-examine Cuir. I’ve also sampled Mona di Orio’s “Suède de Suède” and find that it is very true to what the name suggests. The osmanthus and castoreum give it a decidedly suede-y leather profile.
Just watched Ramsey’s video on leathers, and he is apparently enamored with Peau d’Espagne. The interest is heightened. I’m not often compelled to blind buy, but there’s an itch to scratch. 😆 Will responsibly sample.
I'm considering a blind buy of Luciano Pavarotti because it's supposed to be in the same ballpark as Givenchy Gentlemen, which I like, so I guess it's a calculated risk 🙃
Rich, I adored your top ten list and agree with what you said about Gerlain, who has been at the top of the fragrance world, more times than not. Sadly, as much as I have loved it, I think the fragrance world has become a travesty. When I think of the probably thousands of perfumes I purchased over the past decades, I now realize that I should have put all that money into my retirement. But what happened instead, is that after working for a company for over 37 years, I was forced to retire in 2023, which was two years before my own choice . I had intended to work at least two more years but was “ asked” to retire. So now, even though I still love perfume and have been into it long before there were any bloggers, I now wish I hadn’t spent so much money on perfumes, lots of which I still own in all forms (niche, designer, or any other genre) and concentrated on my Retirement. The problem with perfumes are they are as addictive as some other things that would make us either drunk or high, but being obsessive with perfumes can end up making us broke in the end. In any event, I still love perfume and even though I own more than I need or could ever live long enough to deplete , there is always still another fragrance I crave (even though I can no longer afford to), thus, therein lies then” addiction” that lovers of perfumes have and, most likely, always will.
@@phyllisiervello no need to apologise. I think we'd all do some things different if we could. I hope it doesn't keep you up at night. Think of all the joy you got from perfume over the years and all the experiences you gained from it, you have nothing to regret, Phyllis
Unlike most top ten lists, this is a non-paid, enthusiast driven compendium of banter, not to mention all the fragrant gems. Thank you.
Haha thank you!
It sounds and looks like a fantastic top ten. Looking forward to your most Autumn/Winter worn fragrances when the time comes.
Some time in march I reckon!
Loved the empty bottles at the end, I think that’s the first time I’ve seen that done for a most worn.

A delightful presentation Duck. You have mastered the presentation of the temporal nature of fragrance enjoyment.
It's about time that I had!
Oh! Excellent!! Love these! ❤🙌🙌🙌
Welcome friend 🫂
Delicious
Delectable
Love that you actually tally up your wears ✌️
🐏🦆
Makes for a factual list 🤌🏻🐏🦆

I haven't been able to compare the new l'instant with the old one to see if there's been any reformulation 🙏🏻
Watching the video now brother 🔥🔥
Thanks man!

Thanks Andy! Ma liberte deserves a lot of love and it doesn't get it, unfortunately

Thank you! I have often thought about getting a bottle actually, hard to find in good condition these days though

Menthe Fraiche is easily my favorite and most worn fragrance for summer. Roadster and Prada Amber Pour Homme are also excellent.
I love menthe fraiche too. Think Heeley is a great house
I happened upon your channel not too long ago. Your taste in fragrances is impeccable. Every single one of those bottles, I consider classics.
Thank you! I appreciate it, please stick around!
@@RichMitch I sure will. I am learning a lot from your videos. Just sprayed Ma Liberte for the first time in a while. Gorgeous!

wish we could still get cartier roadster, blew through a bottle years ago then it left the shelfs, shame
Aye it's sad and eBay prices are gutting!

Anything else you fancy?

damn this video reminded me prada amber PH smells like uncut gem
I'm finna fly over there son
You really like that Roadster I see
Gave it a good wearing this year, one of the best I own

It's similar but not as dry and a bottle sweeter/richer
3 minutes in and I’m predicting Pavarotti at #1
👀
¿Number 11 - Santal Massoïa? 😁
👀 I'd have to check
I demand that all of the top ten lists I watch be data driven and evidence based.
Why must you undermine yourself so?

“Therein lies the addiction”. I apologize for the typo.

Rich, sorry for my long- winded
post and thanks for the video. It was most enjoyable.
