If I can save lots of money on this fragrance journey. While smelling almost the same as a $330 - $600 fragrance why not.

    Good to see you back again. Time for my annual pilgrimage here on the channel. Don't bother I'll just go re-watch some older videos for sake of nostalgia. Jokes apart these tiktok clowns have no idea how beautiful Joop, Boss no 1 and Ted Lapidus can be. Al they like is their 1000thed Sauvage flanker cuz it fits the "dark mysterious" bill.

    • @LexEllis
      @LexEllis  Рік тому +2

      I completely agree and it breaks my fucking heart, if I see one of these clowns acting like a know-it-all over King Kouros I will be pissed! these idiots do not understand or appreciate the feeling of owning a silver shoulders vintage bottle, it's RARE, it's CLASSIC and it is YOURS! you own an amazing piece of history, something someone spent years of expertise crafting and you can hold it in your hand!

    If "being a hater" means that you call things as you see them, then yeah. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I suppose that fits.
    It galls me when I get a comment or a pm telling me not to be negative. 🙄 Absolutely not!
    If a fragrance is overhyped, overpriced, under performs, I'd rather speak bluntly and honestly about it. Why? Because I don't want people to waste their hard earned money on garbage.
    Always good to see you. 👍🏻

    It baffles me the people who clearly aren't in it for the passion. Are they mass-producing all that superficial, boring, and redundant content... with the hope of somehow getting rich from it? Surely, there are countless far more easy and effective ways to make money if that is their real goal.

    Grateful for the forums and channels that still stay true to the hobby. But it's certainly true that the mainstream is always changing. Everything is quickly becoming a marketplace. Unfortunately, the only way some will learn to drive is by crashing headlong into a wall and having a near death experience. 🚓🚓🚒🚑 To each their own.
