    Can we acknowledge that its not just a designer thing.. niche and high end are just as bad. They are releasing flankers and at ridiculous prices (aventus being a prime example). Theres niche houses releasing designer level scents but at niche prices.
    The lack of creativity and quality across the fragrance world in general is the issue

    I've been on this way for a few years now, but I kept looking anyway because prices were still pretty far below niche. Now they're approaching, and in some cases, topping entry level niche money. That begs the question of why buy the 12th version of a decade old hit, when you can pay equal money for real artisan blends, using better ingredients, that behave and outperform version 12.0. Utter lack of creativity, the tiresome conveyor belt of flankers, and prices that don't align....at all! Nope. And I doubt the trend stops until non collectors, and casual buyers are eventually priced out, and the bottom line is affected. GREAT vid today!! Needed this.

    Bro, you said everything I've been thinking about designers lately! The overdoing of flankers has been my single biggest pet peeve with designers for years now. Wouldn't say I'm totally done with designers, but I can honestly say that 99.9% of the designers I've been picking up lately are older releases that have been on my radar for a while that I haven't bought yet and can find at discounters or on eBay. Aside from that, most of my purchases have been niche, clones, and indie brands. Granted, there are flankers that are better than the originals, but trying to keep up on every new elixir intense extreme parfum that I see getting peddled across UA-cam gets tiring.

    In my experience with fragrances, ive learned a few things. Probably the most important thing ive learned is there are many nuances to fragrances. But in the end, there is only a few dozen smells out there. So once you own that smell, don't go by a similar smell. Because at the end of the day, the average person will not smell those small nuances. it's just gonna smell the same as your other fragrance.

    Excellent work, the current retail of designer fragrances is making niche looking like great value for money, and you are spot on about flankers, I think some brands just change one note, bring it out as a flanker just to sell more at retail before the discounters stock them, once that happens it's time for another flanker to come out, bordering on being a con.

    I agree. However there are some that have room in our scent den, specifically those at $75 and less (see Versace). But when the asking price of others are in the mid $100.... I'm sorry.... Time to find a decent niche fragrance.

    Years ago I used Stamino Black Cologne and received many compliments from girls, they discontinued it, but It was very, very good! They should bring it back.

    Great video brother . I’m also super frustrated with these designer fragrances. I went in to Macys recently to look for le male le parfum and they still didn’t have it after months of waiting . The saleswoman introduced me to the ysl elixir I purchased it along with a sample bottle in case I wanted to return it and sure enough I did return the bottle . The smell was nothing special at all and didn’t even last past two hours . But isn’t this an elixir?? So I got my money back and purchased le male le parfum which is the one I wanted initially and that too disappointed me …. I’m about to go back to the fragrance body oils lol

This one lasts 8ths on my skin and skin scent over 16hrs! My 25 yo daughter loves it! This is my only purchase in the last 5 months! Love ya!

    This time last year I got a decent amount of bottles but this year so far I have only gotten two bottles. Being more selective, especially with the designer. Holloween Man X from Jomashop and Burberry Hero Parfum 5oz bottle which I am really happy with both.

    New names and same fragrances for a higher price. Nothing different at all. Money grabbers and designers at this point are insulting client’s ability to see the truth. No more designers fragrances unless they do a 180 from here.

    I completely understand your frustration because Polo, Prada, and YSL are my favorite designer fragrances and I was about to buy Polo 67 but when I sampled it I'm not gonna lie my feelings were hurt it smelled so similar to Azzaro the most wanted Parfum and that was a skin test then I sampled the Prada 😢 its no different from the EDP version and the YSL elixir smelled like a stronger version of YSL EDT. It's all a gimmick and at this point I'm going to stick with my niche fragrances

    Hilarious. . . When you said you got one, I lifted up the box of Polo ‘67 I got on sale yesterday at Macys and said, “I bet it’s this!” I enjoy designers and I enjoy good flankers. But the only two new ones in the past 6 months I liked enough to get are Polo 67 and Valentino Green.
