This might not get 100k, 200k views, because it doesn't please the UA-cam Gods, but let me tell you: this is the best fragrance video about this interest, this community and this business that i've ever seen. Thank you for that.
Read between the lines. He is not talking only about the fragrance industry in this movie. It's the fake world we live in, where showing off the journey became more important than the personal journey itself. Thank you for you frankness George, be aware that you made a good influence that will multiply.
The single best fragrance related video on all of youtube. But it is about so much more. Angst. The feeling of not belonging in the world. Insecurity. This is a masterpiece.
Netflix worthy - refreshing contribution for the community. Severance theme is very appropriate! I too deliberately use fragrances as tool to store and recall memories. Smelling good is just a bonus! Look forward to what comes next!
This is the quintessential Fragrance Apprentice video - production, visuals, animation, locations, introspection, praise and criticism, honesty and humor. Making this type of video, and telling hard truths, is not an easy thing to do, but it's much easier if you genuinely care - which it's undeniable that you do. I'm certainly glad this was not the end, but if this was to have been, it would have been a fitting one. Fantastic work, George.
This is way better than anything on UA-cam should be. The end genuinely had me emotional given some of your past experiences and some things I’m currently going through in life. The way some fragrances being hard to smell for emotional reasons. Just going through it in life. And man this really hit home. Amazing work.. honestly best video on anything I’ve seen in a while genuinely impressed.
This video was powerful. Thank you for the breaks you've put on me. It gave me a chance to re-think my "fragrance journey". I've been centering my journey on "fragrances" and not on "myself". I'll spend time with the ones I already own and make memories with them. You are an amazing man. Thank you so much!🙇🏻
What a sublime video George, truly in awe. The artistic quality and the story told perfectly conveys ,y feelings towards fragrances now I have left my teens/early 20s lost, alone and in search of validation phase. I watched all the top 10s and even bought Aventus as my first niche as you so accurately predicted… however I find most comfort now making memories with the fragrances I own, with my partner, my family, my friends. Only thing I don’t (yet) have is my “Milly”, but I am sure that day will come. Thanks again for such a wonderful video.
I'm honest, seeing the length of this video...I thought it was way too long. But now after seeing it, my opinion has changed. It's brilliant like it is and you've opened my eyes, really. I now have a totally new sight on the fragrance thing. At the end I'm getting emotional...and I'll thank you for that. 🙏🏼
This video sums up my exact feelings on fragrance and the whole community. I came in for the compliments and left with the memories. Keep making content like this George!
Beautiful movie, a lot of poetry ❤ Congratulations for the quality of the content, the editing and the music selection (especially the Severance soundtrack, such an amazing show!). This journey through the fragrance world made my day, thank you for that!
I never knew I needed this. I’ve been collecting since my teens and currently own over 160 bottles of fragrances. I want to get into the perfume world but don’t know where to start. I get so excited talking about fragrances. I help people find their scent profile. I was so excited when my daughter came and said they wanted to graduate from body sprays. Lol (no disrespect but I’d never). I love this truly. SB: Some people are truly weird.
Everyone in the fragrance community needs to see this video and hear the truth you speak. Amazing production! And congratulations on your win at Crown Point with From Here to There! It seems anything you truly put your heart into turns to gold.
Great video brother! I'm starting a fragrance collection right now and I'm seeing the addictive nature behind this hobby. Thank you for such a great video!
Holy hell, I didn't know i needed this video. This is an inspiring and thought provoking video George. I'm really new to the whole perfume youtube side of things, but either way this is really really good. Thank you for being so upfront and honest my guy.
This is bloody brilliant. Beautiful and inspiring. I have just started my fragrance journey since the break up of my marriage. For me this hobby helps me with my anxiety. In a way I am searching for the holy grail of all scents but I am enjoying the journey along the way
I just sprayed on myself EROLFA 😊 during a cold cold rainy day. I am thinking of the far away place that reminded me of that parfum. I truly love that place, lost of my memories come from there. Or Calvin Klein Truth, oh man, my apartment after throughout cleaning and spraying 20 times on a Friday evening before friends come. Or this gem Chanel Allure Homme a true lady favorite Chanel during the clubbing scene of 2000s.
The only fragrance video /documentary that I have watched multiple times; and I can easily watch it again. Patiently waiting for the story behind Creed Millésime Impérial in Part 2!
This is so epic!!! What an amazing journey this video put me through, the emotions and the way this video made me feel is hard to explain, lovely work George 🧡
19:13 “This is a little underwhelming, actually.” So true. I was so bought into the pricetag truthism that I didn’t even trust my own nose. I figured I just hadn’t acquired the same refined taste that my best friend Jeremy Fragrance had. Thank you for making this movie
Ive now watched to the end. You did such a great job man. I really enjoyed this film. Its funny but i already knew all of this about fragrances many years after my parents divorced; I smelled my mum in the landing upstairs ..... A smell i hadnt smelled since she was home. I asked my dad where it came from and he said he sprayed it to freshen the air and the bottle was under the sink in the bathroom. I had no idea and was very upset. She passed away in 2020 and now i wish to find whatever fragrance she wore to put next to a photo of her. Coz that was her smell. So yeah they are memories personified and something for others to remember us by.
What can I say? It's the undeniable truth! I can't tell you how many moments from Fragrance Apprentice videos continue to cycle through my mind, and this video-particularly the ending-will be one among them.
Absolutely the best video I have ever seen on fragrance. This was better than most movies I have seen. George, I don’t comment much, but I genuinely have to say, you are one heck of a talent. I am guilty of buying fragrances to fix myself. As I look back on my collection, most of my purchases were to satisfy this pursuit… I am now trying to renew my love for fragrance, but for other reasons, and your video helps me with that. Thank you.
I remember when I first started watching fragrance videos, it was around 10-ish years ago as well. Man I miss the old community. I take long breaks without watching any fragrance videos and come back to them once in awhile but my fragrance journey had to come to a halt eventually which happened years ago
That intro spoke to me on a very real level as I struggle with many of these issues, but am I weird for just buying fragrances because they smell good and I like collecting? I don't expect fragrances to get me anything or make me anything I'm not. I mean, fragrances are nice confidence boosters, and I look at them as part of a hygiene sort of mindset in that I like to appear groomed and pleasant, but you have to already be attractive and/or "that" guy to get all those other things they try to promise. I don't understand why people fall for the marketing speak. Where is the precedent? Liam Hemsworth isn't getting women because he's wearing Diesel, he's getting them because he's Liam Hemsworth.
One day you are going to have your own talk show, arthouse tv series, or become the leader of a cult. I can't figure out which! Great video man. Keep it up.
I like the way that certain fragrances can make me feel inside. They can make me feel youthful and clean. And when I am feeling youthful and clean, I feel more confident.
This is so crazy I came across this video because I bought 13 samples of high in colognes because I wanted to find a new one and Creed imperial was like a light switch when I smelled it I loved it so much and I bought it doesn't have the best projection I've had no compliments but I absolutely love the way it makes me feel when I smell it and to me it's worth buying I've never bought fragrances thinking about other people enjoying the smell It's only for me
that was beautifully deep, you have a gift truly. i absolutely love millisime imperial its my favorite of my 202 bottle collection of fragrances thus far, i just love scents for what they are a piece of art for your nose , mind and soul. i agree scents will not get you laid but will give you memories of a time in which you wore that certain scent and what you were doing the times you wore it . loved the vid i absolutely agree with you . thank you , ken phila., pa. u.s.a
George influenced me to buy so many fragrances I am now influenced to throw them all away and try to work on myself or whatever haha masterclass video from the king himself thank you I love your videos more then you’ll know 🙏
It's funny because when I was a kid my dad wore fragrances and I always thought there was something strange about it. It was cool, it was confident, but it was slightly creepy in some way. I wore lynx Africa and I thought that was good because deodorant didn't smell too fancy and wasn't taboo. I never wore an aftershave until I left home, I wasn't particularly in a rush to do it. Then a few months in to my first year of uni, I was 18, I smelled an OG issey miyaki sample in a magazine. It was a friend's magazine, a girl. I smelled it waft across the room and I said Jesus, wow, what is that? I remember thinking this blows my dad out of the water. I went and bought it even though I had no plan of seeing my dad. But I was happy I was out of the home and could buy it. I was somehow allowed, in my mind. When I sprayed myself with it, I remember feeling terrible, weird and awful. I felt embarrassed somehow, it felt oedipal. Like I was becoming my dad, and it wasn't a great feeling. It was like fucking my mum or something. Horrific. But issey miyake was sick and I got over it pretty quick. Now I have a few fragrances, and I enjoy nice smells. Most I think aren'ttoo exciting. But the ones I like are pretty cool :) I know I'm not addicted because I understand that most aren't that dissimilar. Also, if I go in sephora and spray various "must have" scents that are supposed to be really impressive, like on my hand, wrist, arm, elbow, and smell them all. I just think wtf. lol. And leave without purchasing. That stops me wanting to buy fragrances for a few months, at least. Trust me, if you feel the impulse to buy fragrances, go to the store and spray tons of them all over and sniff from one to the next, to the next. Within a few minutes you'll realise. What's the fucking point. lol. Thanks for the documentary.
I started getting into fragrances recently, but I just want to smell nice. I enjoy it. And, fortunately, I'm old enough to know better regarding adverts and things. Like... and this may be insulting to some people, but I'm old enough to look at some of these things and think that there is nothing on planet Earth that could convince me that a $300 bottle of smelly water is worth its price when there's a clone of it for 10% of its price that'll get you 90% of the way there. The craft, the artisans, etc... some people are into that, and I get it if that's your thing. It's not mine.
I had to watch the entire video before thinking of a comment to justify this masterpiece video. I still can’t find a superlative that does it justice. Pure joy to watch. Thank you The only video that comes close is your Neanderthal video. 👏🏻
This needs a follow up video - I suggest "The TOP 7 Zaharoff fragrances that make you IMMORTAL!" obviously with 2-3 extra fragrances and not all of them being Zaharoff. Jokes aside this was a fantastic video man. The reality is that, yes, although UA-cam, along with all other social media sites, are out for views and to turn peoples time, eyes and clicks into money, the communities that we loved and that brought us to the platforms are still there; they are just buried more now, not pushed by the platform like they were, but still available if you look. Keep up the great content.
I know a guy that was on a TV reality show making knives. He takes commissions, and does as an art, what others do en mass as an industry. While I appreciate his artistry, the knife I carry each day is a mass produced cheapy, both because I can afford it, and I can afford to lose it. Truth be told, there are bespoke axes and shoes, custom cars, guitars, and suits, and niche scents. You nailed it when you explained luxury. We don't need expansive collections. There's something liberating about a lone signature. For years I had one scent, Armani Mania. I ran out and when I couldn't replace it, fell down a rabbit hole. I wanted to get smarter before doling out my money. Hundreds of hours of videos later I have an "enviable" collection (of many scents that have underwhelmed). There are a few that I really like, several I'll never wear, but most just smell "nice". This video hit just as I was thinking of paring things down, and it only served to reinforce that thought. I'll probably keep my dumb reach, and a few others for this occasion or that, but I could simplify my life a lot... and go work on my football skills...I guess. Before I go, George, your videos are art. While others churn out daily content to "generate", your videos "convey" and "evoke". Michela is right about one thing, the flack is always heaviest when you're over the target, and any time your job is to draw attention, you'll draw it both positive and negative. Best from half a world away, JB
Well this was a breath of fresh air :) Awesome video / documentary. If UA-cam had humanity's best interests in mind, it would promote videos like these.
I am right at 52:00 and comment this: it is memory, remind me of something small and insignificant bit of my memory. I hope this is close to what he is about to say. Let's continue
Yes, I was correct. :)) This is really hard for my to put into words because my English vocabularies is not that vast, but I genuinely feel having a linkage with this random man, despite ours own differences, at this moment Weirdly enough ha ha ha
well my reason for buying perfume is the way I feel when I get a whiff of the scent, it really can change/ highlight your mood. some people have it with music or food or smell. I plan to enjoy my hobby but sometimes I do struggle not to buy though.
Bloody hell… what a video. What an experience. What a privilege it was to have watched this in its entirety. Top-tier, editing, cinematography, just pure perfection of the highest form from beginning to end. You were one of the first channels I watched when I got into this community back in 2013-2014. You are one of the realest in this game, and I took away so much from this video, that it truly will stay with me throughout the entirety of my journey. Thank you for sharing your passion with us, your memories with us, and I wish you all the success and happiness you deserve brother.
You are so much more intelligent than bigger reviewers on YT🙏you are so brave, sensitive in a fine manly way and true! I started myfragcomm interest about 2011 watched robes, mymickers, Carlos, you, redeleswnce etc. I never cared for those cashgrabbers, Demi, Monika, JF and so on and on..fragrances for me is just like you said 🙏 thank you! Ps i love the patina on the MI bottle thats how it should look like 👍
Ok my comment possibilities are back🤪 that was weird… but that means I can say how great this is! It’s masterfully made, I’m new to fragrances and I go a bit against the conventional, i dress vintage, like really vintage 1940/50 and I have recently found out or cracked the code that I , really dirt cheap, can dress it even more up with cologne, I’m not interested or looking for compliments, I personally think I’ve gotten surprisingly many for what I rock now, my problem , or fear is that someone soon will say I smell old, I’ve found out I love 1960 to 70s fragrances and they weren’t exactly your average Bleu note fragrance, I love coffee, whiskey and spicy food so I’m not surprised that wood , musk and even oud is my thing, I’m totally in love with stuff like that😅, but yeah my insecurity now that I need to work on is the fear that someone will NOT like my scent because it’s too “old man” , fragrances has become a nostalgia for me now, but yeah afraid others will think I smell bad🙈
I often think about how I smell to people. But technically, you won’t smell “bad”, you’ll just smell different (like you said “old man”) but old has been associated with negative connotations but just bc something is aged doesn’t mean it’s bad. It really comes down to why you wear your fragrance, for yourself (to match your vintage aesthetic) or for others (to be attracted to how you smell). If you wear vintage clothing and love a smell that matches, people will associate how you smell with how you look. So if you smell good, you smell good no matter if your fragrance is sweet or spicy. So long as it’s not overwhelming to others that it’s bothersome. That’s what I find myself hating the most about fragrances, because usually fragrances don’t “stink”. smell is subjective in the same way music is, it may not be for me but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. I hope this helps!
@@e.be.so.fr. yeah this is very true, like take Aramis, I love it! No nostalgia this time cause it’s unique 😂😂 but in reality the notes really aren’t unique, it’s just done in an old way, it’s high on both leather and wood, like many popular scents now, it’s just that it’s really much stronger and , well not sweet😂 so yeah as you say it just smells different, very well said! ☺️ 🫶🏻
This might not get 100k, 200k views, because it doesn't please the UA-cam Gods, but let me tell you: this is the best fragrance video about this interest, this community and this business that i've ever seen. Thank you for that.
Agree more
Read between the lines. He is not talking only about the fragrance industry in this movie. It's the fake world we live in, where showing off the journey became more important than the personal journey itself. Thank you for you frankness George, be aware that you made a good influence that will multiply.
The single best fragrance related video on all of youtube. But it is about so much more. Angst. The feeling of not belonging in the world. Insecurity. This is a masterpiece.
Netflix worthy - refreshing contribution for the community. Severance theme is very appropriate! I too deliberately use fragrances as tool to store and recall memories. Smelling good is just a bonus! Look forward to what comes next!
This is the quintessential Fragrance Apprentice video - production, visuals, animation, locations, introspection, praise and criticism, honesty and humor. Making this type of video, and telling hard truths, is not an easy thing to do, but it's much easier if you genuinely care - which it's undeniable that you do.
I'm certainly glad this was not the end, but if this was to have been, it would have been a fitting one.
Fantastic work, George.
You’re a good egg, George. The world is a better place b/c of the art you put into it. Thank you.
This is way better than anything on UA-cam should be. The end genuinely had me emotional given some of your past experiences and some things I’m currently going through in life. The way some fragrances being hard to smell for emotional reasons. Just going through it in life. And man this really hit home. Amazing work.. honestly best video on anything I’ve seen in a while genuinely impressed.

Great video brother! I'm starting a fragrance collection right now and I'm seeing the addictive nature behind this hobby. Thank you for such a great video!
A tremendous amount of work has been put into this documentary , excellent job !
The best fragrance video ever made and the only one anybody needs to watch.
Holy hell, I didn't know i needed this video. This is an inspiring and thought provoking video George. I'm really new to the whole perfume youtube side of things, but either way this is really really good. Thank you for being so upfront and honest my guy.

An amazing video George. You are probably the most honest and open reviewer on UA-cam.
Academy Award performance. You nailed it bro. Bravo!
You still have the spark, George! What a wonderful video
George, you make a great documentarian. A path worth exploring, me thinks.
This is so epic!!! What an amazing journey this video put me through, the emotions and the way this video made me feel is hard to explain, lovely work George 🧡
19:13 “This is a little underwhelming, actually.” So true. I was so bought into the pricetag truthism that I didn’t even trust my own nose. I figured I just hadn’t acquired the same refined taste that my best friend Jeremy Fragrance had. Thank you for making this movie
Fire video. Real real. No one else is talking about this side of fragances.
Let the fragrance long-form era begin.
FANTASTIC!!! This is simply a masterpiece of a UA-cam video. I truly hope that as many people as possible will watch this. ❤❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What an amazing documentary, George. You never cease to put out great content. Thank you. Let's get the views up, people.
Ive now watched to the end. You did such a great job man. I really enjoyed this film. Its funny but i already knew all of this about fragrances many years after my parents divorced; I smelled my mum in the landing upstairs ..... A smell i hadnt smelled since she was home. I asked my dad where it came from and he said he sprayed it to freshen the air and the bottle was under the sink in the bathroom. I had no idea and was very upset. She passed away in 2020 and now i wish to find whatever fragrance she wore to put next to a photo of her. Coz that was her smell.

25:36 the funniest,realest & most informative fragrance street interview section Ive seen on youtube hands down 😂👏🏼
Wonderful! Thank you George.
You are thoughtful, genuine, funny and brilliant sir, I respect you very much.
Absolutely the best video I have ever seen on fragrance. This was better than most movies I have seen. George, I don’t comment much, but I genuinely have to say, you are one heck of a talent.
I am guilty of buying fragrances to fix myself. As I look back on my collection, most of my purchases were to satisfy this pursuit…
I am now trying to renew my love for fragrance, but for other reasons, and your video helps me with that.
Thank you.
This is fantastic. I love the cinematic approach. Many compliments from me, mate
Wow! This was truly very informative and deep. Thank you, George.

Undoubtedly one of the highest quality videos I've ever seen on UA-cam
I love you for making these videos
I like the way that certain fragrances can make me feel inside. They can make me feel youthful and clean. And when I am feeling youthful and clean, I feel more confident.
The Zaharoff Illuminati bit is fucking priceless.

Masterpiece of a video. Well done!
Bro this is the realest video I’ve seen in a while damn, this summed up my whole fragrance journey accurately
This was fantastic, your content is unlike anything else on UA-cam.
George influenced me to buy so many fragrances I am now influenced to throw them all away and try to work on myself or whatever haha masterclass video from the king himself thank you I love your videos more then you’ll know 🙏

This is by far your Best Work yet.
Do more of this and youll change the algorithm..
Absolutely Beautiful, Love this Keep it up!
The fragrance movie that I didn't know I needed!
It is a beautiful video and touch so many important topics. It is a mind masterpiece and thank U so much for that.
That Chapter 4 intro gave me chills like the intro of the famous Creed vs Armaf video. This is greatness.
my man you are so funny interacting in public. you have a sarcasm not in a doichey way but in a self aware way that people can catch on with 😂😂😂
Thank you George once again for such a wonderful take on this fragrance journey.
I had to watch the entire video before thinking of a comment to justify this masterpiece video. I still can’t find a superlative that does it justice.
Pure joy to watch. Thank you

Keep up the great content.
Outstanding Video in so many ways. This is Great!
Bro good stuff this is why I love your content 👍 but my man that last shot of you spraying was pretty sus 😂😂😂 ✌️
The greatest fragrance review i have ever seen is the one where you review versace man eau fraiche
George, Thank you!
Fragrance is for the person wearing it imo. I wear it for me. It boosts my mood and makes me happy. That should be the only goal imo
And the truth will set you free………brilliant and educational production.
47 mins in… just want to say thank you for being a real one George.
This was a great watch. Great work.
I know a guy that was on a TV reality show making knives.
He takes commissions, and does as an art, what others do en mass as an industry.
While I appreciate his artistry, the knife I carry each day is a mass produced cheapy, both because I can afford it, and I can afford to lose it.
Truth be told, there are bespoke axes and shoes, custom cars, guitars, and suits, and niche scents.
You nailed it when you explained luxury.
We don't need expansive collections. There's something liberating about a lone signature.
For years I had one scent, Armani Mania. I ran out and when I couldn't replace it, fell down a rabbit hole. I wanted to get smarter before doling out my money.
Hundreds of hours of videos later I have an "enviable" collection (of many scents that have underwhelmed).
There are a few that I really like, several I'll never wear, but most just smell "nice".
This video hit just as I was thinking of paring things down, and it only served to reinforce that thought.
I'll probably keep my dumb reach, and a few others for this occasion or that, but I could simplify my life a lot... and go work on my football skills...I guess.
Before I go, George, your videos are art. While others churn out daily content to "generate", your videos "convey" and "evoke".
Michela is right about one thing, the flack is always heaviest when you're over the target, and any time your job is to draw attention, you'll draw it both positive and negative.
Best from half a world away,
JB
Hello George. Be proud my friend ❤
Love your craft.. superb sir 🙏🏻
More of these sort of videos please 🎉
I normally don’t comment on videos but holy smokes, what a master piece.
This is beautiful. I think you opened a lot of eyes.
Incredible video!! Thank you for sharing it.
Well this was a breath of fresh air :)
Awesome video / documentary. If UA-cam had humanity's best interests in mind, it would promote videos like these.
I am right at 52:00 and comment this: it is memory, remind me of something small and insignificant bit of my memory.
I hope this is close to what he is about to say. Let's continue
Yes, I was correct. :))
This is really hard for my to put into words because my English vocabularies is not that vast, but I genuinely feel having a linkage with this random man, despite ours own differences, at this moment
Weirdly enough ha ha ha
Absolutely brilliant, George
well my reason for buying perfume is the way I feel when I get a whiff of the scent, it really can change/ highlight your mood. some people have it with music or food or smell. I plan to enjoy my hobby but sometimes I do struggle not to buy though.
Bloody hell… what a video. What an experience. What a privilege it was to have watched this in its entirety.
Top-tier, editing, cinematography, just pure perfection of the highest form from beginning to end.
You were one of the first channels I watched when I got into this community back in 2013-2014. You are one of the realest in this game, and I took away so much from this video, that it truly will stay with me throughout the entirety of my journey.
Thank you for sharing your passion with us, your memories with us, and I wish you all the success and happiness you deserve brother.
Watching this was deeply moving....
You ought to have a gazillion subscribers. This was epic
Thank you George! Brilliant as usual.
You are so easy to love.
you're special, mate.
Thank you, George, this is brilliant

Ok my comment possibilities are back🤪 that was weird… but that means I can say how great this is! It’s masterfully made, I’m new to fragrances and I go a bit against the conventional, i dress vintage, like really vintage 1940/50 and I have recently found out or cracked the code that I , really dirt cheap, can dress it even more up with cologne, I’m not interested or looking for compliments, I personally think I’ve gotten surprisingly many for what I rock now, my problem , or fear is that someone soon will say I smell old, I’ve found out I love 1960 to 70s fragrances and they weren’t exactly your average Bleu note fragrance, I love coffee, whiskey and spicy food so I’m not surprised that wood , musk and even oud is my thing, I’m totally in love with stuff like that😅, but yeah my insecurity now that I need to work on is the fear that someone will NOT like my scent because it’s too “old man” , fragrances has become a nostalgia for me now, but yeah afraid others will think I smell bad🙈
I often think about how I smell to people. But technically, you won’t smell “bad”, you’ll just smell different (like you said “old man”) but old has been associated with negative connotations but just bc something is aged doesn’t mean it’s bad. It really comes down to why you wear your fragrance, for yourself (to match your vintage aesthetic) or for others (to be attracted to how you smell). If you wear vintage clothing and love a smell that matches, people will associate how you smell with how you look. So if you smell good, you smell good no matter if your fragrance is sweet or spicy. So long as it’s not overwhelming to others that it’s bothersome. That’s what I find myself hating the most about fragrances, because usually fragrances don’t “stink”. smell is subjective in the same way music is, it may not be for me but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. I hope this helps!
@@e.be.so.fr. yeah this is very true, like take Aramis, I love it! No nostalgia this time cause it’s unique 😂😂 but in reality the notes really aren’t unique, it’s just done in an old way, it’s high on both leather and wood, like many popular scents now, it’s just that it’s really much stronger and , well not sweet😂 so yeah as you say it just smells different, very well said! ☺️ 🫶🏻
