By far the best and most creative fragrance reviewer. What a shame there’s only 100 videos left. Tobacco Vanille is my true love and is the closest thing to describe myself without words.
Having the countdown is a genius move. You're a brilliant film maker and story teller. And although we have only C videos of you left as the best fragrance reviewer, I am super excited to see your next projects.
@@KidMagnifico our senses are so subjective. If your favorite color is different than mine, I’m not going to put you down and say your taste in color sucks. C’mon, the world’s toxic enough without you going after someone’s innate sense of smell. Fuck.
@@jdot4799 He’s always said this was a temporary journey, wants to focus on his film career. It’s a double edged sword, for those of us who dig the shit out of him: of course we want him to pursue his passion, but in doing so, we lose his uniqueness, his creative approach to showing his love of fragrances.
The fact that theres possibly only 100 videos left is daunting and scary but the content is something to be watched and enjoyed. The cinematic shots of bottles with notes about each fragrance cannot be matched by anyone. Personally can't say I have smelt most of these from shear fear that I'd blow a ton of money. but there have been more then a few times where I instantly will drop a sample or decant in my cart based off these videos. Royal oud might have to be the next one added.
George had Atkinsons His Majesty Oud as a top frag a while back. I bought a decant, wore it once, and bought a bottle! I've worn 150+ frags, and Atkinsons His Majesty Oud is my #1.
Love your videos, theyre the only fragrance related videos I watch without skipping a second. You showcase nothing but pure quality in this community ❤️
A City on Fire is like flowering blackberry bush burning in reverse. One of the best and most surprising fragrance transformations I've ever experienced. Also I'm sad that my suspicion that the Roman numerals were a countdown turned out to be true, but I also stan creators/writers that already have their endgames planned out, so cheers to that. Not to prematurely eulogize this channel, but thank you for everything. Initially I subscribed for the your unique reviews, but now I think I -- like a large number of people here -- am now just a fan of you. Fragrance is the motif that connects everything, but you and your journey are the real story.
Aventus and Tom Fords Tobacco Vanille are masterpieces it's a matter of knowing when to wear them. After an Aventus hiatus I noticed how good it smelt in the sunny autumn days you really get to experience the magic of the blend. Tobacco Vanille is great in colder temperatures.
@@MrMelonMan96It's a basically the OG with a buzz of rum, cedared up, a lil' darker & spicy.. Fall/Winter, Holidays/Night Out Date Vibez, with luxury & confidence
The amount of efforts put into these videos are off the charts. It's got the wow effect on me. First person I've ever heard say "pun intended". Such a real dude
As always; great video, good sir. Really hope that you continue to perpetuate your work in some capacity, and that you attain all the happiness and success you (and your work) surely deserve. 🙏
First of all want to say you're looking good these days. This look suits you more, which I hope you don't mind me saying. Glad your doing vids again even if its for Christmas money... ha. Strange with Aventus. Could never get into it yet I love a Alexandria clone of the original formulation. I also have Hacivat, Roja Elysium, and Tiziana Terenzi Orion all of which are slightly different takes on Aventus which makes one wonder why I don't like current version of it. Mugler A*men and flankers (even Alien) have the dirty patchouli dry down that makes it a complete turn off for me but that why we all have different noses. Going to get decants of SM Cafe and Lit by Fire. Thanks
I had the exact same reaction when I first smelled Aventus, it was pretty profound actually. So much went on in my head when I smelled it, it was the fragrance I never knew existed but was always hoping to smell in the back of my mind- I had been unknowingly searching for that scent....You nailed it, it's exactly what is required with masculine taste in fragrance today
Completely agree with your Aventus assessment. I don't reach for it much lately since it has become commonplace, but the fact that there are a billion copycats of it, doesn't take away from it being a masterpiece. It was my gateway drug to niche fragrance collecting. I was blown away the first time I smelt it and didn't know a fragrance could smell so good.
If at the end of this countdown George is going to announce his retirement from UA-cam, I am going to be so deeply saddened I can’t put it in words. George you have been such a huge part of this community and you never fail to make me smile with your videos which I have watched for so many years now. But I look forward to the next 99 videos to come
Love your videos FA, the quality I get from a view into your fragrance world is such a treat! However, perhaps you could feature, if you own some, fragrances that haven't made an appearance on the channel yet? Sort of like a "showing some love to a side of my collection that I almost never talk about" type deal. Would love to hear your thoughts in some others. Cheers!
Dammit, George, the last few day have been some of the shittiest, the timing of this news…you’ve been a go to for me when I need a nice 15 minute break, a 15 minute smile; let’s just say the timing kinda sucks. Really going to miss you, mate (can I say that, even though I’m a chick from Omaha, NE?). It’d be a lie if I said I didn’t just shed a tear or two.
I always referred to A City On Fire as the older, bigger brother of By The Fireplace. Very interesting fragrance and one of the best from Imaginary Authors IMO.
Damn, bro. That was a seriously top notch video! I know you say that ombré leather is the fragrance that’s speaking to you now as you’re about to hit your 30s but what current fragrances do you think would be speaking to you if you hit the fast forward button by a decade and you’re on the verge of 40?
One of the your coolest video, but armaf siage is still the best, please keep up your difference from other reviewers, like it so much! Pardon my poor English.
Nice to see T Rex back on the lists since the beast mode video , great fragrance probably the best example of perfume as an art form that I own. I'd say it's wearable in the cold weather especially once it's dried down.
Completely agree with this list….Mostly because you put Feve&Pure Malt on it. Otherwise yikes,throw it out and delete the whole thing ….lol. In all seriousness though I love the song you selected,the fragrances,hearing your thoughts ,the setting,the way it was shot….Everything….Bravo bro👏🏼
After finishing the video I got up off the toilet seat Flushed, washed my hands looked in the mirror and sang "SHOOW ME HOW SHOW ME HOW SHOW ME HOOOOW"
Great video, George! Incredibly well done, as always. I had a thought when you spoke about Aventus being very modern and up to date when it was released in 2010: What would someone from a different era think about fragrances on the market now? Would a hunter gatherer enjoy the smell of Aventus, or tobacco Vanille, for example, or would it be way too abstract? And also, how would these fragrances be percieved in say, 100 years from now? Stuffy and antiquated?
I’ve had my bottle for over a year - not enough ‘nice’ occasions to wear it and I wouldnt use it in the summer. Still got over half of a 50ml bottle left
Just buy velvet teddy from Mac. I swear to you it smells absolutely identical anyone who says it doesn't is seriously lying to themselves. It's like 50 bucks has insane performance and smells identical.
Hey homie, awesome videos but set your audio channel to mono. The mic you use picks up a left and right channel, and when you move it creates a panning effect in your videos. Mono it out and you'll be dead and center in my lil heady head head my baby boy
Well well nice list But I was also expecting either Millisime Imperial or Chanel Allure Homme sport as they were your favourite fragrances or has it changed?
@@Rher_the_Moon yep, I remember that. That's why was expecting it to be in the list. Same goes for Allure sport which at one point was his favourite designer
Who was the bloke in the comments that guessed months ago the Roman numerals were an episode countdown? I want to slap him for being right.
Not sure I was the first one... But you can slap me in any case.
Do you know if he has discussed the countdown in another video?
Why is he stopping in a 100 videos?
@@aisthefisherman Probably because he doesn’t want to do this forever.
@@aisthefisherman because he wants to end it on his own terms and by his own design. as every good producer should
It was always a Countdown... I miss you even now, you are literally the best Fragrance reviewer ever.

it's just a countdown for when the fragrance apprentice turns into the fragrance master. Right, George? Right? RIGHT??!?11!?

💪🏾💪🏾 Creed Royal Oud.. Wearing that later today.. Had 'Stronger With You Absolutely' yesterday

I really wanted to like tobacco vanille but it was just too sweet for me. Spicebomb Extreme is my preferred christmas/winter frag.
Same. It’s epic for Christmas. It gets really cold where I live and if it’s getting under 20 degrees Fahrenheit it’s pure magic.
funny I find Spicebomb Extreme to be sweeter than TV
Penhaligon's Helfati Cedar fits that category solid

The use of the music and the ambience made for a great video. Loved it
Great list and amazing production. A shame we got 100 videos left but I’ve enjoyed your reviews and honesty a lot. Again… fantastic list
Awesome content as usual. Unparalleled really. Maybe after you finish up these subsequent 100 videos, you will do a 500 video encore? ❤️🤟

Video production and review quality par excellence!
I’ve got to give it to you - your soundtracks are incredible! In fact, it was you who introduced me to the banger that is Chitty Fix. Banging video!
Great video, loved it, creating art with videos

Happy to contribute to your video, George! 😁🙌
Excellent selection, top notch editing , incredible music. You certainly have matured and are very talented
Just getting into this whole fragrance lark . Seems to me you are thinking mans fragrance guy ,top quality content ...
Nice Vid!! Amzaing production and edition!! Congrats!
Great video George. Breathtaking aesthetics. I really enjoyed it! Greetings from Argentina
Agree a city on fire is underrated. Insane opening dries down to a really goid wearable frag. 🔥
Love these high quality videos George!

I didn’t know it was a countdown! Now I’ll feel miserable every time you upload a video!
City on Fire is so underrated. As is Imaginary Authors as a house in my opinion
I love a smokey fragrance but City on Fire smells like BBQ meat to me…
Oh shit here we go!! Knew this would be a banger in the first 10 seconds
I hope once those 100 vids are gone you will finally transform into The Frag Master
I still remember the kisses rain video fondly 😊
Top 100 compliments getting fragrances video next, please
Thank god I picked up Pure Malt last year and Pure Havane the year before!
Trex will challenge anyone's perspective on what a fragrance can be. Nice choice, keep being you my friend!
You are fantastic George, please make rant about fragrances! All the best
This was fantastic mate
I always referred to A City On Fire as the older, bigger brother of By The Fireplace. Very interesting fragrance and one of the best from Imaginary Authors IMO.
Great list! Greetings from Costa Rica
I agree with Pure Malt , I have two bottles (i Didn't mind The overprice) It was the fastest first smell love fragrance that I've ever had
Jeremy did 100 videos today. Lol
I legitimately laughed out loud.
71 of them contained Aventus
@@beginswithaj and only 2.6 videos had a shirt on I’m sure lol
Damn, bro. That was a seriously top notch video! I know you say that ombré leather is the fragrance that’s speaking to you now as you’re about to hit your 30s but what current fragrances do you think would be speaking to you if you hit the fast forward button by a decade and you’re on the verge of 40?
Fantastic list
Great list 👌! Thanks for the great content 😊
what's are your thoughts on Francis Kurkdjian taking over the retired/retiring Francois Demachy?
Great as always George
Men your video creation skills! True 🐐 hats off 👏🏼 also, can't agree more with you.
It’s getting cold here in California and I want something a bit more daring than my spicebomb, think I’m gonna pick up Ombré leather.
One of the your coolest video, but armaf siage is still the best, please keep up your difference from other reviewers, like it so much! Pardon my poor English.
tobacco vanille is my favorite frag + tabacco vanille beard oil in my beard is atomic. great content.
The whole video I got flashback and all I could hear was:
**Unus Annus, Unus Annus**
Nice to see T Rex back on the lists since the beast mode video , great fragrance probably the best example of perfume as an art form that I own. I'd say it's wearable in the cold weather especially once it's dried down.
When the better version of Top Gear meets The Fragrance Apprentice. You are a God damn artist, and I think you may actually be the real "Stig".
I would have expected Millesime imperial being part of your Masterpiece list
Tobacco vanille is one of the best.
In top 10 best fragrances ever made for sure
This videos production was🔥🔥🔥🔥
Completely agree with this list….Mostly because you put Feve&Pure Malt on it. Otherwise yikes,throw it out and delete the whole thing ….lol.
In all seriousness though I love the song you selected,the fragrances,hearing your thoughts ,the setting,the way it was shot….Everything….Bravo bro👏🏼
T-Rex, smell of the first five minutes after the meteor struck the dinos.
George, have you heard of Zelinski & Rozen - Pepper, Amber and Neroli? Maybe you should try it and make a review about it. Its quite a good fragrance.
Nice vid🇩🇿👌🏻👍🏻
Everything about this is a Masterpiece.
After 100 he will become the Fragrance Journeyman.
Another GREAT vid, George!! Thank you!!
I really want to find the scent that really clicks with me, but there's just too many amazing fragrances 😭
Amazing content I have to say I have learn from you
Brilliant ✌
Why only a 100 videos left?
Evening George, how about a top 5 best/worst reformulations? Obviously Dior homme will be a shoe-in
Let’s see if George likes the format?

What’s your opinion on Prada - Amber pour homme? That would be an interesting video about your thoughts of it.
I’m new to this channel and am so confused. Why does he only have 100 videos left? These videos are great!
99 more eps to the epic Milly review
After finishing the video I got up off the toilet seat
Flushed, washed my hands looked in the mirror and sang
"SHOOW ME HOW SHOW ME HOW SHOW ME HOOOOW"
damn it really is a countdown... that's what i've been asking about but i was hoping it wasn't that. That sucks.
Good review man
Hey George! Would love to see you do a review of Tiziana Terenzi’s Ursa.. thanks..
How about a video of your favourite perfumer?????
Great video, George! Incredibly well done, as always.

I’m considering buying a bottle of tobacco Vanille, can you tell me how long it takes to go through a 50ml bottle on average? Thanks
I’ve had my bottle for over a year - not enough ‘nice’ occasions to wear it and I wouldnt use it in the summer. Still got over half of a 50ml bottle left
It's strong and too classy for everyday wearing, 50ml should last years.
Just buy velvet teddy from Mac. I swear to you it smells absolutely identical anyone who says it doesn't is seriously lying to themselves. It's like 50 bucks has insane performance and smells identical.
Recently I went to Dior in Dubai and I was told that Fave Delicious is discontinued and replaced by Vanilla Diorama …
Royal Oud is the best of the best 10/10 masterpiece
