    It blows my mind how much they are charging for the fragrances these days just because of the name behind it, (MFK, Creed, Tom Ford, Nasomatto, etc.). I believe clone houses will really impact the market and will be the next big thing more than ever these day.

    I actually LOVED the 724. It smell like the most luxurious laundry detergent. 🤤 The 724 reminds me of Cafe Royal hotel in London. Also, it blends well with the oud and the 540.
    I do agree with you on the aqua series, they have no scent to me!

    Some prices just make me go xD. I just bought Amouage Portrayal man for 125$, and that's 100ml. Wouldn't even consider paying 360$ retail. Not a single MFK perfume is worth the retail price for me. Some just like going the Creed way.

    I bought 724 last Saturday! It smell masculine in the beginning but honestly super feminine after it dries down an hour later . I honestly have it to my wife but will cop a spray just to see how it goes . I bought the smaller $170 bottle . I ended up just getting myself a Marly Percival as well which I wore Sunday for the first time wince I saw it on your channel . Never had it before and just wanted something different from Aventus to be honest . The lady at creed I usually hit up in the domain north Austin was cool and stuff gave me a whole atomizer worth of Aventus free anyway lol . If anyone here in this channel ever goes to Neiman Marcus Creed in Domain ask for Jeannine she’s the nicest lady you’ll ever meet and she will hook it up with like six to seven sample of you buy anything from her . Also this Thursday at 11 or 5 they are having a Creed rep come and give a seminar about the brand and giving free stuff and champagne. All you have to do is call and sign up free with Jeannine . 🙏🏽

      He hates all mainstream niche: MFK, Roja, Thameen. Basically, if you can buy it in a Neiman Marcus or Harrods and it’s not an old Paris house he hates it. Also, he’s some rich Italian guy with rich parents who is like 60 but acts like he was born in 1910. His stuff is worth a read but I don’t hold his opinion higher than a rando on Fragrantica.

Below my wife and me enjoy A La Rose EDP women 9/10 and Masculin Pluriel 9/10 (if Barbershop scent is yours). 724 is not bad by any means but it is forgettable maybe 7-8/10. I don’t like Grand Soir at all, I don’t like Aqua Universalis, Amyris EDP is too weak and a little boring, I will test the Extrait soon.

    I can’t believe that fragrances this expensive come in flimsy little cardboard boxes with such lazy presentation. When $30-40 Lattafa fragrances like Velvet Oud, Khamrah, and Musamam can come in absolutely gorgeous packages, there is literally no excuse for why $200+ MFKs come in a cardboard box.

    The whole line is unbearably sweet, nauseatingly so. These are not unisex, not by a long shot. I can't imagine this one will be much different than the others, and the aldehydes would be a deal breaker anyway. If there is a "DNA" to MFK, it's cotton candy with high fructose corn syrup poured all over it.
