If something is discontinued, you can chalk it up to one of two things: *1.* It didn't sell as well as they wanted to justify making more *2. (most common)* An oil that was part of their formula may not be available to source anymore and there was no viable substitute to match
As a avid le labo fan since 2006 I'm looking to try another brand as I find since Estee Lauder group bought them out it's everywhere. I'm intrigued by Atelier Cologne's Bergamote Soleil. As always a great review
Great ! I know and love most of these list, and I love them. I would have add some "beachy vibe" fragrances, "Hibiscus Palm" for example, but you may find these too feminine. But Aqua Universalis Forte is still the best !!!!
I enjoy Aventus and Wood Sage & Sea Salt also, both on your list. Others I've been wearing lately and plan to wear over the summer include Creed Erolfa, Milliseme Imperial, Viking and Orange Sanguine. I wore Gucci Pour Homme II a few days ago and I think it makes for a good warm weather scent also. Spraying on some Creed Erolfa, as I write this comment.
My top pick for this summer is going to be Aqua Vitae Forte. Blue agave and cacao from Jo Malone and Reflection Man are also go to’s for spring and summer as well, especially at work.
Amazing list Sebastian. Recently into niche I can't get enough of them 😁. Based on your video for best crowd pleasers I bought Citrus Ester by aether and boy do I love it!! They sent me samples of all their line. Excellent house.
What a fantastic list! I am VERY interested in getting my nose on Orlov Paris Sea of Light. Sounds like a such a great scent. Thanks for the review, Sebastian!
Wearing Eau de Rochas, lots of the Guerlain AA line, Eau de Cartier, some light vetivers, like you lots of bright citruses. Want to try a number of things from your list!
This video rocks. Big fan of summer freshies to wear all year round and I have looked up many of your choices and added them to my cart to pick up throughout the year. Thanks man.
You do such a great job of summing up the frag AND why you like it and how it makes you feel. To me, that's EVERYTHING. As I prepare for a trip to Greece I have been looking to add something to my Acqua di Parma Fico di Amalfi. I love the mirto, performance be damned. I told myself I'd never carry an atomizer. WRONG. Do you have a fig-centered frag vid or your top ADP selections? I will have to do a search. SO MANY GEMS I don't know about. I was in a Bluemercury salon/spa today because they carry all of ADP and as I was leaving I noticed they carried Jo Malone. SCORE! Thanks again. Btw, spending my summers on a Greek island, I know and can relate to the fig experience you mentioned. In that summer heat you smelled the green as well as the sweet. Sorry to ramble. Cheers!
Working on fig so that will be sometime in the summer or fall. ADP not really. I only have a few in my collection but would need to add more to my collection.Talking about fig is always fun. I was talking to an FB friend today about fig scents as well! Enjoy your time on the Greek Island. I lived in Greece for 6 months as a kid! :)
I definitely did enjoy 😉 it buddy! I’m glad you put in that new Jovoy fragrance with Figs, you know I thought that Philosykos by Diptyque was the most Fig smelling fragrance with the White Musk too, but I’ve gotta check out this Jovoy one ☝🏼. Your definitely right about the Aventus I was at Phoenicia an Armenian powerhouse and the biggest Mediterranean supermarket here in Houston Texas and someone had Aventus in our 106 degree temperature and Aventus was strong and fit the weather surprisingly. I think I’ll wear that this summer , awesome video as always🤝🙋🏻♂️
Did you do the Mediterranean kid thing with fig bugs? Every time I’d visit they’d tie string to their legs and walk around with them. They no longer do this, I’m guessing because it’s considered cruel. Man those things are big. Nice list, I need to check some of these out.
Nice vid👍🙌🏿 aqua celestia forte is also great for summer. I love the smell of it on my skin and its also long lasting. Citrusy aquatic relaxing summer scent🤗🤗🤗
Hey Sebastian great videos and recommendations. Do you have a review on the D&G velvet collection? I cannot find any reviews in their velvet cypress. Any thoughts?
Love your list. But I just can't get myself to buy and wear Selva do Brasil - even though my local perfumery is having it on sale - because it reminds me of the air freshener my grandmother used in her bathroom.
Clementine cali is a horribly underrated scent; so glad you did it justice here with a top 5 placing, imo, think it deserves even higher! =) way better than the nearest Creed / Xerjoff for me
I love the opening of Clementine California sooo much, but it poofs on me after 10 minutes. :( I need to check out that Jovoy! Fig fragrances are high on my like list; I've been enjoying Ichnusa from Perfumum Roma (even thogh it also fades away super fast one me) lately in addition to my usual Debaser and Figuier Ardent. I also reach for Olfactive Studio's Still Life, Atelier Colognes Trefle Pure, and Heely's Note de Yuzu. ETA: and Parfums Quartana Digitalis
HOT Summer List!! With the exception of Connaisance and VIW - not a fan of fig and coconutty scents. I felt there are better Blue Medittereano release than Chinotto. Interested to check out some from your list that I am not familiar with - Orange Star, Sur L'Herbe, Sea of Light, Clementine and Ambra Calabria. Have you tried ADP Colonia Pura yet? Not strictly for summer but I have been wearing it a lot lately is Argentic by Alexandre.J.
When it comes to Lebanon, did you try MFK APOM? It is connected to lebanon and it acctually reminds me of Lebanon. Mount Lebanon to be exact, I love it. What a heavanly mountain. The fragrance is also amazing.
I haven't smelled it but was reading about Sundazed by Byredo on luckysent, wondered If you've sampled it, it sounds great. I dont own any niche fragrances as of yet but want to very much but being broke doesn't help lol. Your content is so helpful and your passion is contagious really diggin ur stuff thanks.
I just love your lists! Outrageous sounds like something I need to get lol! Molecule 04 and Sea of Light sound awesome also! Have you tried Philosykos by Diptyque? That’s my favorite fig fragrance so far 😊
I have worn that Diptyque and love it but got tired of it. There's also the L'Artisan fig which smells similar and even created by the same nose Olivia Giacobetti. Not the same but similar. Try it if you can. I love the smell of figs just absolutely love the way they smell. Always looking for new fig smells so if you know any please let me know! Thanks for stopping by. :)
A very nice collection for summer thank you my brother for this review. In my country Oman too Mach hot mor 45 temperature which is the best in your opinion?
Epic list man, digging your videos. This is awesome as I must try these fragrances they sound like the types of frragrances I wear all year round. I like freshies a lot.
great list! solid Sebastian， Pls en-light me , some of great frag last more than 12-26 hours, what kind of situation will u recommend to wear this kind of great long frag and not in waste the juice and money manner! cuz usually event and day it wont last this long!jjjj how do u think of molecule 02 ? mess audience compliment magnet ?
Very nice list but I have to admit I'm not a fan of MFK and certainly the no1 scent to me smelled like cheap lemon-detergenty vibe dare I say, sorry! I guess I'm sensitive to lavendar. Great to see cedrat boise do so well but have you tried Crazy pineapple it's even more of a crowd-pleaser apparently from peoples reaction
Psa. People living near equator. Most of these fragrances won't work during high summer heat of your region especially when it's humid. So please test before buying.
They usually never do sales. Last year at Black Friday Saks and Neimans had coupons but only for two days. The year before none but two years ago around the same time yes. So it's crazy how they do it. Now they do have gift card specials where you buy a certain amount and they give you a gift card which you can spend on a future purchase. Hope that makes sense.
I guess I just can't please everyone. :( But don't worry I'll be rotating it with new music every few weeks to a month and I'll come back to the old one and add new ones etc! :)
You have to try Teeb Of the House Blend oud, and Khoul ..pardon My English i’m italian..from Milano..i love so much Your videos..you really are a charming man..
LOL! You know I take my iPad to the gym and watch videos about working out and other information I am needing. too. Once in a while a fragrance review! :)
Smelling Great Fragrance Reviews BTW😍THAT ROJA BERGAMOT!! Have you ever tried the Roja Vetiver fragrancebuy.ca has it for a great price. Might pick it up. They also have Diaghilev for almost half off
Hello from France Sébastien. I havé recently discovered your Channel and havé been bnging on you vidéos since. I really appréciâte your Work . However, thé Way your pronounce " l artisan parfumeur " si very funny. Try to Say " parfumer", it will be closer.
No the 'aquatic' is a tag, not necessarily an actual note, it is a mixture. In Niche, i think they try and mix in a little more natural citrus but they definitely still use some synthetitc calone , 'ozonic notes' like sea breeze and tinge of greeny, mariny seaweedy like notes to round the vibe off
There's something incredibly disconcerting about a man this age who wears the damn same hat all the time...or constantly wears hats at all, period. I did the exact same thing in year 8 and 9 at school, a lot of the boys did but we, you know, grew out of it lol. I'm guessing you're bald/balding in which case, just shave it off, we won't judge and the people who might don't mean shit anyway. I don't mean to sound cruel or anything but it's not even a *good* hat, it looks like a very cheap basketball/baseball cap bought from Target, it isn't even a snapback. Upgrade to a fedora or pork pie hat if you insist on it but this madness has to end.

Probably the best 2018 summer niche fragrances list so far ....
Hats of Sebastian

Perfect Summer, Saturday Morning! Sun and Sebastian Classic Reviews! Cheers! 🎉🎉🎉😊
I bought Escentric Molecules 4 from France, and i fallen love with it so much, has a big compliment, my friends ask me what u wearing!!! 👍👍
I love it! :)
My top pick for this summer is going to be Aqua Vitae Forte. Blue agave and cacao from Jo Malone and Reflection Man are also go to’s for spring and summer as well, especially at work.

Yesterday my summer purchase was Frederic Malle Outrageous at Neiman's Marcus. Wow what a nice scent the opening really good. Highly recommend!
Awesome you got. It's a great price for a Frederic Malle too! :)

Nice list, I need to check some of these out.
You’ve got an impressive collection, man!
Thanks Sebastian, i love your taste in niche perfumes.
Awesome review man, my favorite thing to do is catch one of your weekend lists and watch it on Saturdays or Sundays. Keep it up.
Nice vid👍🙌🏿 aqua celestia forte is also great for summer. I love the smell of it on my skin and its also long lasting. Citrusy aquatic relaxing summer scent🤗🤗🤗
Where are u? I am trying to reach u. Let's meet up and share our fragrances experiences.
Great video as always sir. Please do the updated list but for woman! Eventhough we are literally going nowhere & just staying at home this year..
No xerjoffs??😉. Great list. Im going to wear 1861 renaissance, 40 knots, MFK AUF, un jardin sur le toit, l’homme ultime, aventus and some more👍
massively overrated; I think Ateliers totally outdo them for Quality and price - just longevity suffers badly
Thanks for the list, enjoy your passion for scents
Hey Sebastian great videos and recommendations. Do you have a review on the D&G velvet collection? I cannot find any reviews in their velvet cypress. Any thoughts?
Le Labo Bergamote 22 and jo malone wood sage & sea salt mixed with blackberry & bay.
Sounds interesting! :)
Awesome video man. Enjoyed this one a lot.
Brilliant choices. I am totally on side with you on this list💚
Totally agree on l’arbre de la connaissance, i am from lebanon too, you can smell the fig at its finest, great list, thank you
Yay, welcome Lebanese brother! :)
Looking forward to seeing your review on some Ideo perfumes fragrances, if you have any in your collection, thanks
I will soon hopefully. I know the brand for sure! :)
I have 5 or 6 Bond No. 9 beach frags, VIW, and some cheapies like Voyage and Mugler. Berg 22 is on my list to get.
Love your list. But I just can't get myself to buy and wear Selva do Brasil - even though my local perfumery is having it on sale - because it reminds me of the air freshener my grandmother used in her bathroom.
cant wait to try Cedrat Boise by Mancera, and Escentric 04.
Clementine cali is a horribly underrated scent; so glad you did it justice here with a top 5 placing, imo, think it deserves even higher! =)
way better than the nearest Creed / Xerjoff for me
Great Pics Man!
Very Unique to other reviewers..
thanks for posting 💪
Beautiful list. I’ve smelled 4 of your 20.
Our Bay Area team became Champions Sebastain✌🏻
YES!!!
I love the opening of Clementine California sooo much, but it poofs on me after 10 minutes. :( I need to check out that Jovoy!

Amazing list..got to know some more niche brands.
HOT Summer List!! With the exception of Connaisance and VIW - not a fan of fig and coconutty scents. I felt there are better Blue Medittereano release than Chinotto. Interested to check out some from your list that I am not familiar with - Orange Star, Sur L'Herbe, Sea of Light, Clementine and Ambra Calabria.
Have you tried ADP Colonia Pura yet? Not strictly for summer but I have been wearing it a lot lately is Argentic by Alexandre.J.
Clementine California is a beautiful interpretation of citrus... its different from most citruses out there
I think it's 1 of the safest scents out there xD
Got the 100ml bottle; definitely a keeper
You have an amazing collection, great video!!!!
When it comes to Lebanon, did you try MFK APOM? It is connected to lebanon and it acctually reminds me of Lebanon. Mount Lebanon to be exact, I love it. What a heavanly mountain. The fragrance is also amazing.
I"m going to have to try it since it's connected to my home country. Thank you for reminding me! :)
Phenomenal list I love your Top 5 Sebastian.
Thank you very much. Appreciate you stopping by to watch and comment!
Ένας ακόμη Έλληνας που εκτιμά εκλεπτυσμένα αρώματα. Είμαστε λίγοι τελικά :)
Love your work mate!!
Interesting list, great video sir!!!
I really love the acqua Di Parma fragrances, will definitely look into their fresh scents.
I haven't smelled it but was reading about Sundazed by Byredo on luckysent, wondered If you've sampled it, it sounds great. I dont own any niche fragrances as of yet but want to very much but being broke doesn't help lol. Your content is so helpful and your passion is contagious really diggin ur stuff thanks.
I want all of Maison Francis Kurkdjion fragrance. I love Baccarat Rouge 540. And I would love to own your collection.
I just love your lists! Outrageous sounds like something I need to get lol! Molecule 04 and Sea of Light sound awesome also! Have you tried Philosykos by Diptyque? That’s my favorite fig fragrance so far 😊

A very nice collection for summer thank you my brother for this review.
In my country Oman too Mach hot mor 45 temperature which is the best in your opinion?
What you see in Top 5 or actually all except for the Tauer you'll be fine. Tauer might be a bit strong! :)
Epic list man, digging your videos. This is awesome as I must try these fragrances they sound like the types of frragrances I wear all year round. I like freshies a lot.
great list! solid
Sebastian， Pls en-light me , some of great frag last more than 12-26 hours, what kind of situation will u recommend to wear this kind of great long frag and not in waste the juice and money manner! cuz usually event and day it wont last this long!jjjj
how do u think of molecule 02 ? mess audience compliment magnet ?

Thank you so much for the support! :)
Top 10 rocks buddy, awesome list.
Enjoyed the video Sebastian! Have you ever tried FRAPIN L’Humaniste ? If possible, Would like to see a review, thanks!!
Great choices, enjoyed the video .
I tried most of them, I love your choices 👍🏻😍
Thank you! :)
Ferrari bright bergamot is a main stay in Tucson AZ 🌵 in 104 🔥
Very nice list but I have to admit I'm not a fan of MFK and certainly the no1 scent to me smelled like cheap lemon-detergenty vibe dare I say, sorry! I guess I'm sensitive to lavendar. Great to see cedrat boise do so well but have you tried Crazy pineapple it's even more of a crowd-pleaser apparently from peoples reaction
love all your choices Sebastian all are bangers 😁😍
Psa. People living near equator. Most of these fragrances won't work during high summer heat of your region especially when it's humid. So please test before buying.
Are you giving yourself thumbs up? LOL! Nice to pat yourself on the back! LOL!. Yes they work I have tested! :)
Great video, I have a question. Do you know when Bloomingdale's Saks or Neiman Marcus have sales on these scents?
They usually never do sales. Last year at Black Friday Saks and Neimans had coupons but only for two days. The year before none but two years ago around the same time yes. So it's crazy how they do it. Now they do have gift card specials where you buy a certain amount and they give you a gift card which you can spend on a future purchase. Hope that makes sense.
Aqua Celestia Forte is also fantastic
Thank you so much for these recommendations! 💜💛
Great list! I have & enjoy AUF , Bergamot Soleil , & Clementine California . I think I bought a sample of the Nishane you spoke of . Must find it :)
Oops , hit enter too soon . I've been wearing Hermes Monsieur Li & Van Cleef & Arpels California Reverie lately .
Great list as usual!
wonderful list as always but i have a feedback for the opening music...i liked the previous one lot better :)
I guess I just can't please everyone. :(
But don't worry I'll be rotating it with new music every few weeks to a month and I'll come back to the old one and add new ones etc! :)
I would very like to try Creed Virgin Island Water. That is sounds fabulously.
grt list bud, nice selections....
What are your thoughts on Millesime Imperial?
here you go, my review for MI: ua-cam.com/video/1LQy03487to/v-deo.html
Have you tried MFK 754 Sebastian? I like that one.
I like the Extrait more than the original! :)
That's BR 540! I'm talking about the lily of the valley one.
Oh crap yes! LOL! I like that one. I love lily of the valley! :)
Great stuff, But being new into this looking for a top 20 designers list!
Soon! :)
Great list! I thought you didn’t like freshies though?
Absolutely love freshies! :)

2019 summer list :D
Which ones would you wear to a day wedding on a hot summer day wedding?
TOP 7 are really the "creme de la creme"
Anything out there that keeps mosquitos away like Lavender scent for example?
Ha maybe. Try anything with Lavender perhaps some fougeres? They have a prominent lavender note in them. Or try Caron Pour Un Homme De Caron. :)
Always love ur videos

It's a good one for sure. :)
Just know it's a bit feminine. But if you are okay with that it's a fantastic fragrance.
*ANOTHER GYM SESSION SAVED BY SEBASTIAN!!* 💪
LOL! You know I take my iPad to the gym and watch videos about working out and other information I am needing. too. Once in a while a fragrance review! :)
Smelling Great Fragrance Reviews BTW😍THAT ROJA BERGAMOT!!
Have you ever tried the Roja Vetiver fragrancebuy.ca has it for a great price. Might pick it up. They also have Diaghilev for almost half off
I have two bottles of the vetiver too. The Extrait and I also have the Vetiver Pour Homme. Both great for sure. Will check the link.
great idea!
Hello from France Sébastien. I havé recently discovered your Channel and havé been bnging on you vidéos since. I really appréciâte your Work . However, thé Way your pronounce " l artisan parfumeur " si very funny. Try to Say " parfumer", it will be closer.
pretty sure you can buy Chinotto at your local Italian deli
I love le labo
Bruno Giambroni me 2
whats does water smell like "aquatic" ? didn't know water smelled like anything. lol
Then why do they list it in notes??? LOL!
No the 'aquatic' is a tag, not necessarily an actual note, it is a mixture. In Niche, i think they try and mix in a little more natural citrus but they definitely still use some synthetitc calone , 'ozonic notes' like sea breeze and tinge of greeny, mariny seaweedy like notes to round the vibe off
Virgin Island Water smells like SUN TAN LOTION.
Do i get any different n weird perfume from u
What does that mean?
Smelling Great Fragrance Reviews i need a fragrance from you which is suppose to be weird as giveaway
Still does not make sense. You are looking for a weird perfume that you are giving away?
Smelling Great Fragrance Reviews i need a perfume from you any you like to give
There's something incredibly disconcerting about a man this age who wears the damn same hat all the time...or constantly wears hats at all, period. I did the exact same thing in year 8 and 9 at school, a lot of the boys did but we, you know, grew out of it lol.
I'm guessing you're bald/balding in which case, just shave it off, we won't judge and the people who might don't mean shit anyway. I don't mean to sound cruel or anything but it's not even a *good* hat, it looks like a very cheap basketball/baseball cap bought from Target, it isn't even a snapback. Upgrade to a fedora or pork pie hat if you insist on it but this madness has to end.
Nope, not balding or bald! ;)
It's just the look I'm going for! :)
In that case you do you, a little eccentricity never hurt anyone.
