    I won’t buy SBoy out of principle. It’s not even the price (although overpriced) but it’s more the way I feel some fragrance influencers hype it up for their own personal financial gain as much as anything.
    I have to also totally agree on Sauvage Elixir. There’s something about it that I just don’t care for. When I tried it, all I could think is how I couldn’t believe it got as many positive reviews as it did.

      I don’t do some hyped fragrances for the same reason.
      The thing with Sauvage Elixir is, it isn’t great on paper, and isn’t great up close. But the longer it’s on, the better it gets. And in the air, people just love it. I get a compliment or two, unsolicited, almost every time I wear it.

      I bought sauvage Elixir based on the hype and what I can tell you it's a compliment monster. It projects like a beast and no need to go heavy on the trigger bc it will be too cloying for you the wearer also it's best for the colder temperatures. Performance and scent trail is among the best out there and it's one that I'll always have in my collection.

    I have to disagree with you on Sauvage Elixer. The drydown which takes about 15-30 minutes to develop smells magnificent. You should have 2 test strips. The begining test strip and the drydown test strip. I do believe your opinions though. 2 sprays at most. The atomizer is pressurized so you can control the amount of juice you want on your skin. Thank you and just suscribed.😊

    People think explorer has no performance. Not the case. It just causes extreme nose blindness. I wear 4 to 5 sprays. I can't smell it after a while but someone came into the stock room at work and all she could smell was me and I got nothing. It's wrongly accused of bad performance all the time. When I go back to my coat after a full day at work it's still there.

    • @paulknowles6433

      I don't get the old dude vibe but fragrance is very subjective and it's cool we all have different experiences with them. To my nose it's not a straight up Aventus clone. It's definitely inspired by it for sure which is right there in the opening. The lack of blackcurrant is a definite difference, also the dry down is woody with cacao and vetiver which isn't present in Aventus. There's enough differences in the two to appreciate them both. In my experience people who say it doesn't last long haven't worn it as a signature scent like I do and haven't experienced some people's reactions to it hours after spraying it on. Skin chemistry will always play a part in that so it'll be different for some. As a whole i Iove the stuff and I'm on my third bottle now.

    I was pretty confused because it didn't smell great to my nose and the performance seemed terrible. I think I may have gona anosmic and/or it just smells way different in the air than on skin.

      It smells beautiful in the air, you could smell it directly from where you sprayed it but wouldn't recommend it still better than CDNIM though. In terms of performance, it doesn't really project after 30 mins but it lasts on my clothes for a whole day but projection is really intimate range or even below 'cuz my girlfriend only caught a whiff during the 12th hour mark of it when she came close to my collar. I've been with her the whole day and only noticed it after 12 hours only when she came really close to me.

    When people do side by side comparisons on frags you will see this often one person loves it it's sexy to them and others hate it. And notes can be picked up or tuned out with everyone's noses having different ways they perceive to be something even the perfumer didn't plan on. So remember don't get mad because someone says something bad about a fragrance you enjoy. There is no fragrance in the world that everyone loves or hates.

    I bought Dior Sauvage back in 2016 because I went to the store and smelt it and I instantly liked it.
    Fast forward 7 years and I'm not digging it, like I don't know if the smell has changed or what, but I just don't have the same liking to it that I did back then. It just smells so.......I can't even describe it....... a basic, confused, soapy, ambroxan-y mess.
    I might use it as a bug repellent lol

    Elixir is my first Sauvage and it gave me headaches and I thought it was just me! Is the EDT a safe buy compared to Elixir or even worth it at all? I am already enamoured with my other signatures like YSL Y EDP. This video was excellent, I just subscribed because your content is very helpful

    All of 2022 up to now mid ‘23, I’ve been traveling extensively: L.A., NYC, Miami, Dallas, Vegas, Phoenix, London, Paris, Rome, Dubai, Tokyo, Vancouver (plus a lot more smaller cities). Been in a ton of clubs, bars, hotel lobbies, dinners, parties, galas. I only smelled Sauvage Elixir ONCE last summer in Miami. Someone was brave enough to wear it in the high heat during the day at a Sunday Funday in South Beach 😂. I’ve smelled Aventus many times, especially in London and Paris. The most common scent I picked up almost everywhere was One Million and YSL Y on dudes, and BR540 on ladies.

We find the most feasible options for the planned budget and headcount. Logistics is priority, followed by enjoyment factor. It sounds glamorous, but it’s A LOT of admin work, reports, write ups, zoom sessions. And back to back destinations make it so exhausting that we often don’t get to enjoy the travel ☹️. Honestly, I’d rather spend my own money for a nice relaxing vacation away from work 🤣.

    I like Xerjoff and PDM, but I have the feeling they are about a year or two before being as played out as Sauvage, anything Tom Ford, or Creed. I think when you lease a G-Wagon you get a bottle of Sauvage Elixir or Aventus broken on the dash like christening a ship as every lease return smells like one or the other. Montblanc is nothing but old guy frags, though I do like the Legend Spirit after an hour on the skin.

    I agree about Dior Sauvage Elixir. It is almost sickly sweet. Not very many people say this, but it is way too sweet. Parfum is probably the best in the Sauvage line, and that’s because it’s sweet, but not to the the point of being overwhelming.

I oversprayed because I was trying to get people to hate me so I wouldn't get picked as a juror & still no one said anything. I mean, it's got lot a thousand ingredients in it & I couldn't even get one person to have an allergy attack & ask me to leave? WTF?

    Dear Erica, in the beginning I was not quite sure if I will like your channel. But now I just love it and with every video I like it more. You bring up fragrances no-one talks about like Perris Monte Carlo. I also feel like you are more down to earth than other UA-camrs. Especially the point you bring up in this video. It feels like most other UA-camrs like every fragrance.
    Regarding the choices in the video I absolutely agree on Mephisto. I could not stand it and had to give it away. Same goes for Club de Nuit Intense Edt.
    The most horrible fragrance I tried was an Oud fragrance from Byredo. I think Oud immortal. Even our dogs went nuts smelling that.

Before that I bought 25 fragances were 3 of them I HATE .. Montblanc Individual - I hate the synthetic rasberry .. Montblanc Legend Spirit - It's WAY to powdery.. And Mochino Toy Boy - The rose note is just overpowering and 'ugh' - However I still love the bottle, and the cermacial !

    Explorer is indeed horrible for the performance. I had to spray many times for this to last more than 2 or so hours. Out of my small collection, I _always_ complain about longevity and really doesn't smell that great. Doesn't help with layering, either. Doesn't last on my shirt, either. Glad I got it for dirt cheap at least.

    The fragrance I've disliked the most so far is Colonia C.L.U.B. (with the periods) by Acqua di Parma. It was a free sample from a Neiman sales rep. Expensive price for a basic cedar-forward freshy, but worse is that cedar note is incredibly overbearing. It drowns out the other things going on, gives me a mild headache, and survives even a shower.
