Interestingly, it looks like YSL has recently re-released Babycat, because it is now listed on their website as "NEW". Anyway, there's a link to it (not to their website, a slightly cheaper option instead 😉) in the description!
Good looking out Justin. (YSL. Babycst.)
Also. Ty for your educational informative many olfactory lessons. Your style and knowledge keeps this OG coming back. 😎
Justin you are #1 in the frag UA-cam community. The most unique suggestions and perspectives imo
@@mr.c.1494 really appreciate you!
@@PaulMatthewMusic1 thank you Paul!!
@@stayfreshproductions Likewise sir.
ADP is such a great house. Always flies under the radar somehow I get the feeling.
I´m from Sweden and own several Niche4all fragrances, really enjoy their stuff
The type of videos I always need in my life lol. I love talking discontinued gems 🔥🔥 I love even more to hear about people finding discontinued gems in the wild, like when I found Code Profumo, Aqva Amara, Legend Intense in a mall store for $200 total (all 3- Amara was a gift set)
Hey, Justin, really enjoyed the video. The topic of finding alternatives to discontinued fragrances is certainly a very interesting one, especially for us fragrance junkies :D
I am so glad that you mentioned Mandarino Di Amalfi and Mandarino Di Amalfi Acqua - I really enjoy both of them, and while the EDP version is still available in my region (East Europe) I found a niche alternative worth checking out - BDK's Citrus Riviera. The BDK has that same vibe and feeling with a twist coming from that strawberry note (not feminine in any way), while being higher quality and having a tiny bit better performance. It's worth checking out.
Keep the good videos rolling, they are much appreciated. Cheers!
Great video! I recently purchased Mandarino di Sicilia, and I have to say it was such a WOW fragrance for me. Such a beautiful photorealistic interpretation of a breezy day peeling oranges for the nieces and nephews. This is going to make a beautiful transition fragrance from Spring into summer!
I love Mandarino di Sicilia! Can’t wait for the warmth.
"Mandarino di Sicilia" is such a nice summertime fragrance. And the only release in 2024 I bought.
It's also a very good alternative to "Louis Vuitton - Afternoon Swim". It's not like a dupe or something but they both have this vibe and the freshness of green tangerine peel.
I'm not big on oud but Gucci Intense Oud surprised me. Its so good!
Love this! Armani Eau Pour Homme was the first Armani I ever smelled and used, I remember it very well although the last bottle I used was probably 2 decades ago. I love Baldassarini but I don't see it much here in Dubai anymore, any alternative for the alternative?
Vanagloria from Labratorio Olfativo is a really great substitute for Babycat
I love this series
NICELY DONE AS USUAL JUSTIN, how are you? SOTD MONTE BLANC EXPLORER PLATINUM
Great video Justin thanks. Im loving mandarino di Sicilia by ADP for the summer, super juicy and reasonable performance for a citrus. I find this also quite similar to Mandarino by Laboratorio Olfattivo.
Appreciate the recommendation, I will have to try that one!
Do you have a decanting website that you stock? Or that you use? I'm always concerned the decants I get are inauthentic, thanks man.
Eau l ombre leather is a great scent. It has had a lukewarm response which I find very surprising. The kind of scent that will receive god tier fervour when it gets discontinued
I bought the 31 vial sample set from Niche4All and reviewed all of them. Make sure you sample that brand before you buy anything. Don't just look at the "inspired by" names and assume anything is a clone because sometimes it's just in the same olfactory category. They are all true EDP's though, which means scrubbing one off takes a long time. Lavender Citrus is one I do not recommend.
You might want to revisit eau d ombre leather. It quickly became my signature, your scent description is spot on, but you probably didnt wear it enough - judging by the nonexistent dent in your bottle. You saying it is a strong fragrance with great performance could be very misleading to some. I love it, I am about to finish second bottle already, but its not by any means strong. The performance is not so bad, but its below average. If i go somewhere for more than 2 Hours I bring a decant with me. It projects only for a little while before it becomes a skin scent. If i spray it 5 times it doesnt project at all, I usually go around 15-20 if I want someone to smell it more than hug distance.
15 to 20?? Really?? That’s a violation of people surround you.. As he said: „Don’t be that guy“… Do you alternate with other fragrance? Maybe you‘re noseblind…
serial killer behaviour
You must have extremely dry skin or you're spraying way too much and going noseblind as that fragrance is definitely a beast, verging on a little too cloying as it seems to linger for ages
@@tobias1752 I alternate, but like 5 days a week I wear this because I love it. Most fragrances I do 2-5 Sprays, this one is just very subtle. To compare with sth everyone knows I get similar performance as JPG elixir 2 Sprays or Angels Share 2 Sprays as with 15 of this one. The First bottle I had was from the very first batch, the second was later one, both same performance though 🤷♂️ This One is just very subtle. Regular ombre leather I do 3 Sprays and its more than enough.
@@darrunn my Skin is definitely on the dry side and the weather here is cold and dry aswell, but I am not really overspraying it, I Always ask my closest people and when I do 3 Sprays of this its barely noticable, 15 feels just about right. It stays close to the skin. It doesnt linger for me at all, its a subtle close to the skin scent.
Eau D’ombre is good, you hurt my feelings in the last video 😂 jk, good stuff as usual. Appreciate it. Did you try myself and blue moon ginger dash together yet? 🤔🤔🤔
Haha thank you bro! Sounds like an interesting combo, haven’t tried it.
Hey if u do this series again, can u find me an alternative to Gucci pour homme II. Loved that scent, don't know why they discontinued it.
I can attest Gucci Intense Oud and Or Encens smell similar but not as sweet or ambery
An alternative to Babycat could be Vanagloria from Laboratorio Olfattivo
Hey Justin, any suggestions for a fragrance similar to original Ysl l’homme? Mine is running out and I’m unsure about the newer batches.
I’m not sure…maybe do a spray on your hand at your local dept store to see how it does!
Don't know... I would put Penhaligon's Babylon or Rosendo Mateu N5 as better alternatives to Babycat...
Great!
I actually prefer Moustache EDP to Tuxedo, and yes... I have both
Really??? Wow. I respect your honesty. Totally disagree. Loll but respect ✊🏿
@@mr.c.1494 it's the only "clone" that I've ever felt this way about... Actually it's the only clone I even own
🔥🔥🔥🔥
First. Been a while.
Made the mistake of spraying Gucci Intense Oud 6 times and became that guy. 😂
😮😂. Oops.
This one is not discontinued it's reformulated beyond recognition. The scent is like there and there but it's trash overall.
Dreamer Versace! Need alternative
Colonia was the absolute worst cologne Ive ever purchased. It made me smell like an old man named Clarence.
Lmao 😆 why did you buy it?
Stop being Dramatic, Clarence.
😆😆😆😆
Have you tried colonia essenza? It's the modernised version of it
@@stayfreshproductions because you suggested it. You said it was a scent that could be an aphrodisiac. However, you didn't tell me my compliments would only come from 70 year old women. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ooh great video any thoughts on alternatives L’Homme Idéal Platine Privé Guerlain? I really wanted to get a bottle but only place left that I saw was pretty much eBay 🥲
If you can’t find L’Homme Ideal Cologne (Platine Prive’s also discontinued precursor) then maybe consider the Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche DNA!
