    Thanks for the review Why We Must Be Born Again The Bible Way!!! The Way Back To Pentecost When Jesus told Nicodemus, except a man or person be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. St. John 3:5, he was telling him who needed to do it. Now, watch it. Matthew told what to do, Mark told why to do it, Luke told where to do it and John told who to do it. What’s missing? Didn’t nobody tell how to do it, until the great day called Pentecost when Peter stood up to preach. Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38 KJV What to do? - repent and be baptized. Who? - everyone of you. How do we do it? - in the name of Jesus Christ. Why do it? for the remission of sins. What’s the result of doing it? - and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. The Jews did it. Look at the 8th Chapter of Acts, verse 4, “Therefore they that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the Word.” Verse 5 “Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.” Verse 12, “But when they believed Phillip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.” 14. Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 15. Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: 16. (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) Acts 8:14-16. In Acts 2, the Jews did it. In Acts 8, the half Jews did it. In Acts 10, the Gentiles did it and in Acts 19, the Baptist folks did it. They all did it because God said that’s the only way to do it. Of the 66 books in the entire Bible, there’s only one that don’t fit in with any of the groups. That book is the book of Acts, because the book of Acts is the only book in the Bible that tells you how to get save. And, until Jesus Christ returns in the clouds to call his church away “1st Peter 2:9-10,” this gospel is to be preached by us to every nation and is still in force today till that great getting up morning when the dead in Christ shall rise first, we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them to meet the Lord in the air, so shall we ever be with the lover of our souls. Will you be saved today, according to the Holy Scriptures? Acts 2:38 KJV is still in force today till God’s body, “the Bride of Christ” is completed.

Not animalic on the body odor cumin meter. People who enjoy PDM Darley, Kilian Vodka on the Rocks, Tom Ford Lavendar Palm, Valentino Pour Homme, Zaharoff Signature Royale/XXX should sample this. I found a fragrance with a similar DNA as Ispazon for $30 so I’m comfortable without a backup bottle.

    What's odd is even on thameens insta, they have bottles with different font placements on the front, especially Peregrina...for example some have thameen then peregrina below, then some have thameen and London then peregrina in a different position on the front. I notice the peregrina that was in the Harrods calendar has a mixture of both. Some peoples unboxing show the first variant and some the second. I have a feeling thameen make different batches for pr or cheaper variants etc. Also, peregrina, diadem and a few others have a velvet lining for the box to sit in. Although I've seen a few influencers who received pr have a different inside lining of the box. It's very odd haha

    Excellent Review! In regards to your Akaster, probably not counterfeited. Even though they are a premium house, from mid teens to 20's their bottles were all over the flipping place. I have bottles with malformations, poor printing, caps that didn't want to come off/stay on. All purchases were through Neiman Marcus. They seem to be on track lately. Althair and Perseus bottles were perfect. Seperate question, would you wear this daily? I do, just curious. Happy New Year! Cheers! 🎉🎉🎉😊

      Thank you for watching and the feedback. I since brought another new and sealed bottle of Akaster, from a reputable dealer. It was exactly the same bottle in every way which led me to believe it was legitimate in the first place. However, I love Akaster so it is no issue having a back up bottle. In regards to Darley. Darley is in the top 10 possibly top 5 PDM's for me. It is such a pleasure to wear and I can understand wanting to wear this daily. However, it is rare that I wear the same fragrance regularly. This is only due to not wanting to wear any fragrance out, especially fragrances I love. 🙏

    This is one of the problems I have with ebay. They always claim they can't list perfumes as used because of something with ebay and perfumes, whatever. But in my opinion, if the packaging is no longer sealed, it's not new, it's open box and if was sprayed once, it's not new it's used. Also watch out for fakes, pdm fakes are very very hard to tell apart from a genuine one unless you can compare them side by side with a real one. Even if you see one that's selling at near discounter prices and you think there's no way it could be a fake right? Maybe, but I've been burned by a fake being sold at a price that you wouldn't dare to think it was fake, but it was. and I think some shady sellers, even with perfect feedback sell fakes whether they know it's fake or not. Either they don't realize it is a fake or they know and price it to where you wouldn't believe it's a fake. Take angels share for example. The fakes are sold on ebay for under $100, so that's obvious. But look around some more and you'll see fake angels share being sold at 150, 200+. All in all, I still buy mostly on ebay, just use a bit more scrutiny when doing so. Also I look for real vs fake comparison videos on UA-cam (fake cip is a good channel) if I have even the slightest doubt.

      Thanks for commenting and sharing your experience as I agree with what you say here. Seeing more and more of the fake pdms from China and Malaysia, though Im also seeing more of them sold as sent from the UK. They are sold on ebay using a stock photo of the original pdm rather than showing the actual item they will send. Likewise around still using ebay to buy as Ive had some real bargains which have legit 👍

    Just buy from a reputable seller. Surely at your age, you must have heard the saying " if it's too good to be true it probably IS".

      But where do you draw the line? You can find fragrances like Haltane or Oud for Greatness, 125 and 90 ml bottles that cost almost $450 full price from the company, for around $300 each on websites like The Perfume Spot and Jomashop. I got a whole travel set of MFK fragrances on sale from Nordstrom, for $220, and it includes eight 11 ml bottles, including BR540 Extrait, Grand Soir, and Oud Satin Mood. I did the math, and I paid way less by volume than if I would've bought the full size bottles. It makes no sense. I looked up the individual bottle prices, added them all up and compared each one to the total, and just multiplied that ratio by the total price I paid for the set, $220. That math showed that I only paid like $45 for the 11 ml bottle of BR540 Extrait. If they sold that alone, then it would probably never be in stock.

      @@schneir5 Much of the time I will use reputable discounters. However, it can be difficult to find some or discontinued fragrances. This is where one takes the chance buying them off ebay or other selling sites. I have for the most part great success on ebay and have got some real deals. It sounds like you got a great deal on the MFK set. This is a great way to be able to try out different fragrances without commiting to a full bottle 👍

    Heres a tip. Take your phone, Turn the flashlight on your phone and hold it to the side of the bottle. you should be able to see the level of liquid inside then.

      Wow LMAO I just checked my own bottle of Perseus, because I thought that it was almost empty, but I've had no idea how the hell I could have gone through that much of it in just a few months. It's still mostly full 😂 I've been trying to come up with ways to figure out how much was left in it by weighing it, or something I've just been trying to figure out a way and it was this easy.
