Darren Allen is an excellent house. Chypre No1 and Dorian’s Fougere are my favorites. Bought my niece full bottles of Sweet Repose, Heckate, and Vintage Novel. I am also happy to see someone else appreciates his work. Sacred Smoke is also an honorable mention from the house.
He's really nice. Sorta met him by way of another person; someone I no longer talk to (someone who went full egomaniac instagram primadonna mode and I just CAN'T with those people).
Nice frag wall! Mixed feelings about coffee frags. I am enjoying Akro Awake though. Kerosene Follow and Followed are strong...real strong. A bit too sweet for me though.
@@Varanis_Ridari I gather he's an indie perfumer based out.of my old hometown region- Detroit. He's got a bit more distribution than Darren Allen and Clandestine, but seems to have similar roots. My tastes are a bit too trad for much of his stuff I think.
Kerosene Fallow is the most realistic coffee fragrance I’ve tried , it’s quite nice … but not a room pleaser imo, Darren Alan’s sample set is super impressive. I would suggest any and all try it
The first day I got my HoHang at a mom and pop shop … the lid slipped and it dropped about 4ft onto marble bathroom tile … somehow bounced like 2 ft upward and I caught it on foot
So I don’t love coffee frags. I believe the one fragment I have that mentions coffee is Penhaligons Endymion. A coffee lavender fougere. It reminds me of sitting in a cafe in the morning eating croissants very nice I probably need to pull for it more
That’s understandable it’s not coffee focused but I’m pretty sure it’s listed as a not. I could be completely mistaken I’ll have to pull it out of the crate and wear it. I said croissants because one of the woman I work with who is also into collecting smelled it on me and asked to try some. She approached me later in the day and said it gave her the image of having breakfast in France on a perfect morning and I knew why she felt that way about it.
p.s. is that habit rouge edc? id keep that on the tippy top too for respect haha. hey man we love your videos, but your videos are so good because you WANT to make them. live your life, and if you make a video well be here. thank you man
p.s.s. i like chock full o nuts ny bold myself haha. no pretense with the coffee, im easy. i used to love 8 o clock coffee but then a&p went out of biz (i was actually a butcher for them indirectly when they went under)
I generally consume your videos as a podcast but I noticed that I this video your phone keeps refocusing every few seconds, thought I'd let you know as it could bother some viewers
A*Men one of my favourites. Very nostalgic for me. It's like 90's in a bottle along with Aqua di Gio and Fahrenheit What's for you is like "90's in a bottle"?
You should just join livestreams. Or host your own if you have time. That would be a blast to join. For coffee scents I have AMen Tonka, New Haarlem, Rochas Man, & Givenchy Play Intense.
Cheers Derek, interesting story with Darren and Avon recreation, love to hear this kinda dedication by fragrance lovers and creators 👊💪🤛

Bouncing baby rubber buggies.
Great video. Coffee fragrances I have in my collection : Dior Eau Noire, A-Men, A-men Pure Tonka, Givenchy Play Intense

@@Varanis_Ridari The current one with the yellow juice is still excellent. Worth to sample if you can.

Hekate and Sacred Smoke are wants of mine.
I haven't sampled Darren Alan yet, I really want to try Chypre No. 1. Didn't know you knew the guy that's awesome 💪.
He's really nice. Sorta met him by way of another person; someone I no longer talk to (someone who went full egomaniac instagram primadonna mode and I just CAN'T with those people).
@@Varanis_Ridari oh damn 😆

Never tried any Kerosene

Good to know!

The first day I got my HoHang at a mom and pop shop … the lid slipped and it dropped about 4ft onto marble bathroom tile … somehow bounced like 2 ft upward and I caught it on foot
LMAO

Chypre No. 1
Is that Man Pure Jil Sander on that top shelf 😍 that grey cap looks familiar
No. I don't own any Sander

I get zero coffee from Endymion myself

I used to love Chock Full o Nuts too, until they stopped selling it here.
Nice background 🫡, still hear random computer cooler fans 😂
That's the portable AC

Probably not enough light, but there wasn't much I could do

What's for you is like "90's in a bottle"?
Tommy, Curve, and Versace Blue Jeans
@Varanis_Ridari
I Love Blue Jeans. Didn't appreciate it back in the days but realised now how good it is
