it could be worse, you could be into knives instead of (or as well as) colognes. I have $7,000 worth of folding knives and i use none of them lmao

being influenced by tiktok sounds pretty regrettable, in it self.

Bro put the PDM Layton in the thumbnail, and i totally fell for the anger bait. 😂

nautica voyage not catching any strays today 🔥

Sauvage Elixir was a scrubber for me, but I tried it again and it is my most complimented scent above all. The dry down is where it shines.

There is an interesting thing that one of the sales ladies at a local perfumery told me. During the pandemic, there was a huge retrieve of perfumes cuz of some fixator and from that moment almost the totality of the designer fragrances give us much lower performance compared with the batches before the pandemic. Sauvage Elexir is overhyped for sure - I prefer the perfume version and for me it smells much better and I get an actually complements. So, that said, from now on I buy only beast mode or nuclear performance liquids for the quality. Spending some extra cash makes the difference.

The only time I wear Tom Ford fragrances is passing through airports. I like it better when it’s free.

I never blind buy fragrances Always go to Macy’s or whatever try on what I want to get and see how it goes during the day. That solves the problem

I had the same experience with JPG Le Male Elixir and I love the JPG brand. Stuff was just wayyy too sweet for me while also not really having any depth. Ended up selling it after 2 wears.

Thanks for your honesty, particularly on La Male Elixir. That fragrance was being hyped for views. It smells like a thick, dense, overly sweet $50 Paco Rabanne fragrance.

Swy absolutely is the best are you crazy 😮

John paul elixer smells very similar to perry ellis 360 black. Mostly because of they share similar dry down notes in amber as well as tobacco. Because of this elixir was spoiled for me, luckily i only purchased a travel sample of it.

Nice Video! Some people say the new batches of Sauvage EDP have perfomance issues. Do you agree?

Lesson I learned - try colognes in shop ON SKIN!, preferable multiple times. If you love it - buy. There were couple of times when the scent smelled good on paper or in air, but turned bad on skin.

what you said is true, sometimes we are fooled by advertisements and make blind buys and currently there are too many perfumes with sweet aromas but in my opinion the fragrance will taste good when it's half or a third left.

You know what, the Stronger with you battle is just personal taste, because as much as I like both, Absolutely is my go to and I wouldn't change it. Maybe Intensley is better in fall and cold spring but what the first one does in winter for me is just amazing (and for ladies, cuz this pulls compliments like crazy, second to Valentino BiR Uomo intense, Idk why it works, it works)

Luckily I didn't spend much on my biggest regret, but it's Lattafa Khaltaat Al Arabia Royal Blends. It's very sweet and fruity, which I don't like. I've worn it twice and never again. I do have Maison Alhambra's Tobacco Touch, and it's very good, I'd recommend checking it out for a great Tobacco Vanille dupe.

Tobacco Vanille is not $400 for a 50ml if you know where to look. Buying retail is a scam and you’re shooting yourself in the foot doing so. Fragrance groups and discounters are the best option. As someone who’s only bought from groups since 2016 I’ve saved a lot of money especially being able to buy decants of a fragrance before committing to a bottle.

xerjoff starlight is also $400 though and there are no discounters in australia that I know of that sell it

What you said about Tom Ford TV is me with Nishane Suede et Safran. 230 euro for a 50ml. I'm not coping when I say it smells better than Ombré leather but still damn that price is insane. I feel like not wearing it because its a waste, but not wearing it is a waste too.

Sauvage Elixir is not really a regret imo I LOVE it

I bought Sauvage Elixir and I think that because I live in Canada where winter lasts forever and is 3x colder I’m able to get away with it more as the intensity and projection is negated by the intensity of the weather. Still wouldn’t go more than 2 sprays tho even in winter

You should try vanille fatale. It’s like tobacco vanille’s older brother

Sauvage Elixr is amazing too .. jog Elixr and Sauvage Elixr is two of best 5 frags of last few years…

Le Male Elixir is sort of a shot in the dark. It can definitely be too sweet in the opening, but the drydown is pretty nice and it works well with my skin chemistry. I can totally see why someone would dislike it, though.

I blind bought Hindu Kush from Mancera. First of all, it had the atomizer problem where it sticks and you have to manually pull it up after each spray (which is relatively common with Mancera from ehat I understand). It was also just too heavy on the patchouli, for me.

I strongly agree with you 100%•

tobacco vanille is incredible. charuto tobacco vanille is an incredible dupe that i own

you crazy jpg elixer is fire!

Bro i regret buying savauge elixir too i smelled a sample on paper and the dry down of it smells way different on skin

I only bought winter fragrances bro my collection is jpg elixir which is my favorite I bought it after the hype and i didnt buy it for the hype i bought it bc its good i also get jpg la parfum which s good and spicebomb extreme i only got winterfragrances am i cooked and what should i get for either a fresh or a summer

Tom ford tobacco vanille costs around 240$ for 50ml and 320$ for 100ml. Should i get it?

This is great advice for folks NOT to blind buy "at least" the pricey fragrances.

My biggest regrets was buying light blue edt instead of intense and my Dunhill icon racing blind buy(I like icon racing but I don’t have the situation to use it )

I don’t have by Killian angel share. I have lattafa Khamrah! Give that one a shot if you want something similar! It’s a fraction of the price of angel share! I love it!:)

You should have bought Lattafa Tobacco touch over TF tobacco vanille! I have the dupe!

I love JPG Le Male Elixir, but only for cold weather. In this Scorching hot Texas Coastal weather, no thanks. ❤

gaultier is so good!

The first one is for winter, but I agree with you. I'd rather buy one million

Imo Chanel edp is better than savauge edp. I own both as well.

Who are you? How come I've never heard of your channel? Loved the way you review fragrances! So succinct & straight to the point with your descriptions! VERY INFORMATIVE! Way to go

I love the Jean Paul you mentioned guys remember at the end of the day it’s all opinion. I get compliments all the time with the elixir. I’ve had girls not let go trying to smell me IM NOT BULLSHITING

I went to a store looking for which dior sauvage model I should get and when I let my mom test out the elixir model, she said it’s something that my grandpa would wear because it smells like a fragrance for more mature men

I also hate the rum smell on stronger with you. I'm still not even sure about the intensely. The new tobacco is more nice to me

Just because someone likes a perfume doesn't mean its gonna work for you, i once blind bought Dylan blue, Sauvage both had given me headaches. Dylan blue later i used as room spray lol

You hyped me to get LeBeau Paradise Garden, and it’s not like bad but it’s nothing like wow. It’s whateves I guess hehe

I know the feeling man! I once owned 130 frags, but during the last few years I’ve gotten rid of over 50 of those. The biggest regrets that come to mind: -Rabanne 1 Million (still… the most disgusting frag 😂) -Versace Eros edp. -JPG Ultra Male -Armani Stronger With You But to be true: age and experience have brought many frags, that I hated younger, truly to be loved: Like: -Chanel Egoiste and Antaeus. -Acqua di Parma Colonia -line -YSL M7 -Terre de Hermes The path always goes in new directions 👏😄 Thanks for the video man!

I have like 10 fragrances I wear out of 70 bottles i own......sometimes I do reach for a different frag depending on my mood. Overall I need to sell like 75% of my collection because I literally can't decide what to wear

For me its Valentino Born in Roma Green Stravaganza, it smells sour and its not really my type and ive never gotten a compliment on it. Its also not long lasting or strong

The only blind buy I got was spicebomb extreme and it was insanely good, every other fragrance I sampled first

Never regret buying baby yoda fragance ❤

Le Male Elixir was my first JPG fragrance. I bought it a few months after launch and did so because of the hype, it was my first regret although I'm quite used to blindbuying. A few weeks later I tested other flankers and really enjoyed them, namely Le Male Le Parfum and Le Beau Le Parfum. Sauvage Elixir, on the other hand, was the only Sauvage I was missing. Sadly it was nothing like the ones I had. Absolutely hated it. Since both blindbuys I've spent a considerable amount of time, effort and money researching Fragrantica and other content before even buying a decant. I guess both fragrances were a good lesson. Thank god they were designer.

Can i use montblanc legend spirit for everyday school?

The one I regret buying is Versace Eros edt. First ever cologne, and I prefer edp but my parents got me edt (Still thankful). I regret it do to the fact I accidentally left it in the sun for 5 months without knowing that’s bad. So i don’t technically regret buying it

The experience i had with swy absolutely was that i smelled eatable and masculine at the same time. But with swy intensely , sone told me that they had some kind of headache because of the spiciness. Overall i had more complements from swy absolutely than swy intensely.

I blind bought Bvlgari man in black thinking it would replace or upgrade my og Spice bomb and I never ware it and still reach for og spice bomb

Great video, I don’t like any Tom Ford frags. I’ve had a few! The performance was so weak.

Chat I just got azzora most wanted edt what do we think

used to hate sauvage elixir, but it grew on me ngl.

I don’t have Sauvage elixir but i have Latafa Asad and i don’t like anything about it at all it’s a big disappointment. I also have SWY intensely, absolutely, as well as the original. I definitely enjoy intensely much more of the 3.

Worst purchase by a mile was Instant Crush by Mancera. Pure acid

Where can i order from in Australia?

Agree about dior elixir

Sauvage Elixir gets me a lot of compliments from either man or woman I don't know when I wear it .

I've barely used my Tonka Cola bottle as well.

Unpopular take but initially enjoyed MFK Gentle Fluidity Silver but after a while started to dislike it. It's a good thing I only have a sample of it and didn't buy a full bottle 😅

JPG Elixr is amazing sorry dude in my top 5 out of over 50 fragrances

I do like le male elixir not the best jpg but for me it’s a easy top 3

I like the Sauvage elixir cause of the lavender

I bought Burberry Hero EDT after having a 1ml sample. I've worn it once. I don't like how it smells on me.

Im Sorry but every fragrance you mentioned was a banger. You're analysis on these fragrances that are mass appealing and very good. 😂😂😂 Can't believe what im hearing. I do agree Intensely is better than Absolutely and i do agree Initio is just ok though

i regret buying mancera red tobacco. i really like the smell of the fragrance but pretty much everybody im around cant stand it because of how strong it is.

Hey have you tried xerjoff’s ivory route or Initio’s atomic rose? Thoughts?

This is a great list. Literally every single fragrance you mentioned and your reasoning is exactly how I felt.

I'm happy I got le male le parfum instead of elixer. I hate sickly sweet fragrances.

I regret buying Nautica Voyage 110% 💀

I blind bought polo green awhile back at a cologne store and it’s probably the worst purchase I have ever made. I have trouble sleeping every night knowing I bought polo green

Le Male Elixir (easily the best LM) and Sauvage Elixir are both great

Do a part 2-3-4-5… There are so many more that need to part on this list…

The same thing happened to me with Asad. I thought if it comes close to Sauvage Elixir, it must be good. I didn't know either of them. It makes me feel sick, and I gave it to my father

Dolce and Gabbana the one EDT, blind bought it at a discount store for 40 bucks but I hated the scent, glad it was cheap

The sauvage elixir take was too valid, I just can’t get with it!

CK cologne is my favourite

Turning 26, Sauvage Elixir came out a little bit way tooo sweet for me, even though Dior Homme Intense is pleasant, maybe due to how the perfumer worked the ingredients, feels BDC like in terms of natural, will smells good a hundred years from now

Dior elixir is amazing. Very masculine

have u tried santal33? i hate it... it reminds me of le male gold /scandal...

I regret buying tom ford noir extreme. I enjoyed it at first sniff but it quickly started to smell bland and uninteresting in comparison to the rest of my collection

when it comes to fragrances I have but don't wear: number one is Encre Noir by Lalique. I appreciate this scent, however, not only do I kinda know this scent from somewhere, this scent is so groomy and murderously serious, that I can't imagine myself smelling like that.

I love Mancera Tonka Cola :)

Nishane hacivat smells so bad to me off a blind buy and thankfully I traded it in my friend group

as much as its a good fragrance i regret getting montblanc legend spirit EDP as it was $150 from myer and i reckon i could have got it cheaper or something better for the price

I was going to buy le male elixir because of reviews but held off. I recently tried it on at a store and ir stinks on me lol

I have bought all the afnan which smells bad especially the 9Am

Gucci Guilty Elixir, one of my biggest fragrance regrets. Still trying to get someone to buy it off of me.

This is a hot take but azzaro edp

I’m really thinking about getting blessed baraka should i😂

Totally see Dior Sauvage EDP as a gym fragrance

Tobbaco Touch is a steal. Makes you think that luxury perfumes are some sort of a scam business.

if you like vanilla then you will test gisada titanium or will you pass it?

Fragrances I regret buying: Profumo, Oud Malaki, Sauvage EDP, Sauvage Parfum, Prada L'homme, Tonka Cola, Cedrat Boise, and Starlight. I WOULD have regretted Stronger With You Absolutely; however, I traded it for Enigma Parfum Pour Homme so probably one of my best buys.
