@@FragranceDOUD So far, quite a few new designer releases have been just “meh” for me. Azzaro The Most Wanted EDP is one of the only fragrances that hasn’t disappointed me. Although I have to say It has bewildered me on why they waited to release it in the spring? It’s a little too warm for me to wear it. The other I like the more I wear it is Polo Deep Blue. I usually don’t like anything from Polo. The one fragrance that did surprise me during my recent Macy’s trip was Cool Water Parfum. I was not expecting it to have the depth or incense vibe it has. I may pick it up later around Fall. It doesn’t feel like a Summer fragrance to me. But, it caught me off guard because it doesn’t feel anything like the Cool Water we all know.
@@ejstar8917 because it woulda been to close of a release to the other most wanted but ya I get it. I do like coral fantasy and boss marine as wel but they are still levels below most wanted parfum
@@FragranceDOUD My nearest Macy’s didn’t have Coral Fantasy yet. The funny thing was the folks at the counter thought I was making the release up. 😂 They thought Yellow Dream was the latest Valentino flanker. They also didn’t realize they actually had The Most Wanted EDP in stock. I had to point out they had it and the tester was indeed on the counter. 🤣😂🤣 I thought to myself, “I should come down here and work part time on weekends”. I honestly feel like when I go to Macy’s I actually sell fragrances to myself. The folks I’ve encountered there lately have little to no knowledge about what they are trying to sell to customers. One guy seemed to get frustrated when I wasn’t buying what HE liked. It was weird.
@@ejstar8917 ya just say “I prefer to browse alone I will let you know if I want to make a purchase thanks” those words prompt any Macys employee to back off my ex used to work there. That’s the only way to get them to stop badgering
Nice Randy. To me I can’t say it’s exactly the same. I will say it def reminds me of it in the feel I get except this is def better for high heat and is more casual to me. What Y Fraiche should of been is my opinion. Awesome and prompt feedback as always my man.
Thanks ya I need to get a few more wears on it before I do my full review on it especially in the heat. But for now I can’t tell the difference outside of a few nuances
Great video once again randy I wrote like a whole paragraph but I think UA-cam deleted it because I mentioned a fragrance that has a questionable spelling and it’s also a great dupe of ysl y edt and edp by Lattafa and it’s called Lattafa F a -khar you’re also becoming one of my favorite fragrance reviewers 👍🏻 but yeah it’s a no for me on artisan teal even though the bottle looks dope kinda like something you find in a shipwreck with a note inside the bottle Also I purchased the most wanted parfum I was hesitant because I own the most wanted already and your video convinced me to get it because it goes a different direction on dry down.
That’s awesome it’s 50 degrees here today allowing me to wear it one more time that bourbon slightly boozy vanilla mixed with the sweet and fresh ginger really just pops and lasts a long time. I just live it and I’m glad you like it. Hahaha UA-cam used to delete so many of my comments and I hated it but that’s funny that’s why it took yours down. Sometimes they remove mine for like parentheses. That lattafa I have tried it’s the juniper Ginger citrus mix that really makes it similar to the ysl. I got it as an extra in one of my jomashop order last year for like 2 bucks for a 10ml. But at that point the full bottle was like 70 bucks it seems it dropped in price a lot. Actually a great one to throw into my restart of my ATTACK OF THE CLONES SERIES I did when I first started my channel. Now that I got milestone I thought I should restart that series as honestly I forgot it existed. But lattafa will be a good one. And also thanks for the kind words of you ever feel differently about my channel tell me honestly and tell me why so I have a chance to make it better again.
@@FragranceDOUD sounds amazing I’m really looking forward to getting it! Also it’s been a few days now I am really liking my other latest pickup of Valentino Uomo it’s giving me vibes of Dior homme parfum
@@Killakamikaze yep it has that dior Homme Parfum dior Homme Intense vibe but I like it better then those two because it’s lighter on the Iris and has that nice chocolate note
Ya see i got 3 separate testers one from each place I have and I’m gonna test it a while when it gets real hot out and see how it reacts. The first time I tested it I didn’t get any ysl but now it’s almost exact for me just lighter and a bit less citrus. But ya that’s a good point that I never thought of. I have 91 degree day coming up in a week according to the weather app so maybe I’ll use it that day before I do the full review
@@FragranceDOUD definitely test it out! I didn’t get any Y vibes when I got my first sample. When I got the bottle I was like, oh I get the same feeling from it, same vibes. Then yesterday I wore one on one arm and one on the other and they were totally different again 😅. I think the sage in Y makes it much earthier in comparison. I’m curious how the heat is going to be as it’s clearly set up for summer.
@@SoCalScents no I mean I tested it a bunch for the last week and I even did a side by side with my wife and daughter and I even gave my wife two strips after already smelling both and wanted her ti guess and she guessed wrong. Maybe in heat it will be different but on my skin I get 98% y just lighter
@@SoCalScents I think this might just be one of those cases where people smell different things like a lot of people say that ralphs club is like 90% ysl and I get certain vibes from it like that but also it’s unique in its own way as well
This was another fragrance I was able to get my nose on during my last trip to Macy’s. I feel your review sums up the way I felt about this fragrance.
Wel I’m glad I’m not off base. I’m just gonna be honest no matter what even if I dislike or say meh about 10 fragrances in a row

I’m curious how it will change in the hot weather as Artisan Pure changes a lot in longevity when it’s hot.
