    Ac man beautiful video. I just became a father and my fragrance obsession got put on the backburner for few. Watching your videos turned into changing diapers at 2AM. I on purpose tried to stay away from watching your videos cause it starts a fire under me to make a fragrance purchase and i thought i could use the saved money somwehere better. The point im trying to make is that damn does it feel good watching your videos again.
    One small request: id lovea video on your top 10 niche sandalwood fragrance list!

    Eau De Rochas is my preferred alternative to Creed Neroli Sauvage. Rochas doesn’t have quite as natural an opening and doesn’t have the mild ambergris drydown as Creed, but it’s nevertheless an excellent value.

    • @pablowaxa
      @pablowaxa 3 года назад +1

      Totally agree with you! Eau de Rochas is a classic, and can be bought for 17€ for 50ml, which is a total bargain!

    Oh A.C, You are so right about Rasasi La Yuqawam! Amazing fragrance and my wife loves when I wear it. She also said it's a better take on TF TL. Also Have you tried Matt's (Pocket Scents) take on Creed SMW? Scottish Mountain Water? I use that as a great alternative to SMW and again the wife loves it. Win , win ha ha.
    Fantastic video with great content as usual.

    Armaf and rasasi will never have another penny from me. The batches are so inconsistent it's ridiculous you just never know what you are buying.
