    Excellent. I have several of these. Notably, I like wearing 40 Knots in Fall/Winter and will be wearing 1819 to a November wedding because the bride loves it on me. I have collected frags for decades and have cheapies as well as high-ends, which I wear sparingly. I’ve been watching and reading you for years and I appreciate your taste level and diversity of appreciation. You educate amateurs as well as enthusiasts. Thank you.

    Great video. It seems to me all the fragrances is all I need. They are for all seasons. Great quality over quantity. 3-4 sprays is all it takes to have a great smell over you only after you have taken a shower. I own Xerjoff 40Knots, and yes, it is an absolutely great fragrance. I must say my favorite fragrance is Red Tobacco. One thing that I have figured out, is that, I really like wearing a different fragrance on a daily basis. I currently own 23 fragrances and I feel that maybe ten more would be all I need. Not sure if this will be possible.

    Being a fragrance enthusiast, I have often found myself struggling with the urge to buy full bottles of my favorite scents. However, after much contemplation, I have come up with a solution that works for me. I have started buying 2, 5, or 10 mL decants instead of full bottles. As a result, I now have a collection of about 40 fragrances, including clones, designer and niche scents. I find it more practical to have a variety (>50) of smaller decants than a few full bottles of just a few fragrances. This strategy has been working great for me for the past 6 months.

    • @Chilltown95
      @Chilltown95 2 місяці тому +2

      You don’t need 50 decants… just buy full bottles of your top 5-10 out of the 50, and to say you have a fragrance in your collection when it’s just a decant is a bit misleading
