No one unless you attracted before the cologne.

I can't stop wearing this. Tea for Two is also one of my favorites. Whats the next step in the 'chain-smoker' genre of fragrances?

>mfw this thread was the only reason I came onto 4chan

Hind is lovely so far, musky and ambery. Smells pretty western, not really what I was expecting. There's a spiciness there too. Excited to see what the drydown is like because there's a whole lot going on in the first hour.

>>15022666
Based and /carvenpilled/. I recently bought this big 100ml back-up bottle for £9.50 from eBay. You Erosfags could upgrade to Carven if you'd like to finally get over this juvenile sweetness of Eros. It's better quality mind-lemon freshie, very crowdpleasing and way cheaper.

Is there something deep going on with big-brand perfumes and the chemicals they put in?

I used to always experiment with many perfumes that I liked, and would find around the house (my grandfather has many eau de toilette, etc, many from local artisans and made with fruits and herbs and stuff from around where we live), and I just went about my life.

One day I sprayed on samples from bleu de Chanel before going to a club. I didin't particularly like the smell but got a lot of attention from girls, even though I hadn't dressed particularly better than I usually do, and am a bit less in shape than I used to be because I haven't lifted since I finished military service 2 years ago.

>>15023657
It's ambegris not amber fragrance. Completely different thing. Ambegris in Colonia is salty in a refreshing marine way, leathery and animalic (not skanky at all though). Amber you're thinking of is warm, resiny smell. If you're looking for a contender then my fav ambers are Amouage Opus VI, Ambre Sultan/Ambre Lumiere.
>>15023673
You what mate? There's definitely a distinct leathery note but Oud Cuire is so much more complex, deeper and dark that I'm confused if we mean the same fragrance.

>>15023640
Nothing because i am forgotten by all my friends and i no longer have any reason to leave the house

>Let me just say that I know that people have different tastes and that smell sometimes is just subjective. However, when people say that this is just another generic fragrance that they've smelled before, I just don't get it. I have over 200 fragrances in my collection ranging from 10.00 to over 400.00 and I can say if Amouage or Tom Ford (private blend) had this juice in it, people would be raving about it. Is it the best fragrance ever, No. Is it the best mint based summer freshie for the money, absolutely. It's a well-crafted, long-lasting aromatic that would run neck and neck with the best of them. Seriously, for 20-30 bucks, you can't go wrong.
Tempting. Someone else tried it?

So far I only used to get fragrances for Christmas. I want to an upgrade from Old Spice as I got my first job but don't want yet another hobby to get deep into. Let's say that I got $100 to spend to get a rotation for 4 seasons and call it a day. What should I get? Thist pastebin looks promising.

>>15023862
i have this, and its shit. soapy grapefruit, my friend said it smelled like old man, and i cant argue much. i dont know who that dude is, but he seems to like everything, theres only 11 fragrances hes tried that he dislikes. also one of his favorites is sauvage so fuck his opinion

>>15023890
It's not dated at all my dude.

also, this is apparently amped up ambre nuit with a bit of cinnamon. good luck finding some though.

I got a relatively free weekend so I'm finally going sniff some new stuff and get some samples in London on Saturday. I'll visit Jovoy Mayfair to test some Profumum Romas and Bois 1920, Harrods to finally put my nose on these ridiculously expensive (£5700 per 50ml of some extraits) Henry Jacques and most likely Bloom to test some lowerkey niche. Does anyone want me to smell something for them from their catalogue? I can also pop in to Selfridges Les Senteurs at Belgravia, Nicolai, Arabian Oud or CdG at Dover Street if needed. Last time two anons wanted me to smell Iron Duke by Beaufort, Roja Sweetie Aoud and I still remember that. Any other requests lads?

>>15023871
You should get something you like

>>15022129
Eau Sauvage Parfum. The 2012 version was edgy and gothic and the 2017 formulation is one of my favorite fragrances ever.

>>15023909
i was just masturbating to the herrera line posted above you, which only seems to be at harrods. Theyre all reviewed quite well, but rare. Youd be doing a service to all of us if youd smell the burning rose, patchouli, amber scents, maybe the neroli one as well. cheers

>>15023912
Funnily enough I know couple of them as my current gf bought Herrera's Mystery Tobacco for her brother for Christmas when she was in Dubai. She got plenty of samples from this exclusive line but I don't really know names. Judging from what I remember scentwise they were likely Amber Desire, Burning Rose, Gold Incense, Oud Couture looking at the notes breakdown on fragrantica. All of them are very well blended and smooth but not groundbreaking. Typical unisex spicy/oudy/oriental 2010-2020s niche-ish inspiration taken from middle east that Serge Lutens used to do better a few decades before. Think Tom Ford Private Blends or Armani Prive. Good stuff for gifts as they're safe but still quite interesting. Gold Incense was my favourite of all of them, Mystery Tobacco second (probably because this patchoully-sweet DNA that I really like in many Jovoys). Most of them have very good performance - about 8h+ but I'm not really sure if all of that justifies the price. For £200+/100ml pricetag you can get way more interesting stuff. I'll give them a sniff in Harrods again though.

How import is the design of the flacon to you?

I've had a past dig into niche ones that never get YT attention like Evody Noir d'Orient, Beaufort Coeur de Noir, Clive Christian X and some of the Fort and Manle Fatih Sultan Mehmed. Always struggle to find samples or decants for less hyped true niche ones though so don't get that many, just whatever I can find in specialist boutiques in London. I owned IB previously but swapped it for Gucci Envy back in 2018, regret doing it though even if it was an absolute steal.

>>15024268
You could get rid of like 60% of these without any damage to your collection.

What are the FM scents that I need to check out? I don’t have any of their frags yet and I’m interested. Which should I sample?

>>15024594
French Lover, POAL, Vetiver Extraordinaire, Musc Ravageur, Brigarde Concentree are top 5 in that order for me. Do you like sweet geranium or powdery notes? If so there are couple more that you might like but I don't like either so I'm not very objective on this matter.

>>15024598
Not a huge fan of powdery scents or geranium. Musc Ravageur looks interesting, so does Monsieur. Neither seem to be currently available on the discount sites, though.

>>15024598
>Vetiver Extraordinaire, Musc Ravageur
agreed on these.
>Bigarade Concentree
it's a great scent, but performance is shit, sadly. Like most of Jean Claude Ellenas.
I would also recommend Monsieur, a sensual rhum-patchouli, I'm making it my date scent. And I haven't tried The Night yet, but it goes for $1600 a bottle, so if you ever see it in a shop, try it out and let us know how it is.

>>15024550

Yeah, I have quite a lot of random cheap shit that's there just cause I like wearing it around the house sometimes and it has next to zero resale value like the Zara ones and a few other cheapies. Only like 30% I'd say actually gets regular use like DHI, Colonia Essenza, Naxos and GIT that are all on second bottles now. Other bits have just been accumulating for ages, it started with The One EDT and Cool Water back in 2013 and I'm on the fourth bottle of the latter now.

Scents to attract black females as a white male?

SOTD: Amber Sultan.
It is pretty good. It is a smoother and sweeter version of LDDM to my nose, which makes it more useable at the cost of complexity. It does have a tiny fecal note in there due to its amberiness, but since it is quite sweet people will not notice it.
It is also much less powdery than LDDM and thus safer to use in the warmer months if you care about that sort of thing. 4/5.

>>15024613
>The Night
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they've got it in Harrods (where else would they have it lol?). I'll take a look on Saturday and report. However I'm pretty sure what to expect as I've tested dozens of Oud+Rose fragrances including those barnyard skanky ouds.

>>15024618
> has next to zero resale value like the Zara
Sell them as a bundle on a facebook group. You'll get some money that way but foremostly clean up some space. Maybe it's just me but I can't have more than 10 bottles personally. I've rotated like 200+ bottles in my collection and I really think that there's no need to own more than 10. It feels like hoarding.

>>15024625
Any fragrance at all will have a black lady begging for the stability your bwc can provide

>>15024629
Also, I forgot to mention that its performance is pretty good. 2 and a half hours of projection. Not quite fills the room, but people notice it. No compliments nor negative reactions thus far, but it did give me a bit of a headache on the 2 hour mark, before the sweetness from the coriander and vanilla mix died down a bit.
Looks like longevity will be good, but I am only 4 hours in.

>>15024629
>Amber Sultan
Good stuff. Are you sampling or got yourself a bottle? If the former then let me shill again Mollinard Ambre Lumiere. It's 90% similar to Ambre Sultan for a fraction of the price. It's really snice but I think I got bored with this amber+herbal bitter accord that one can find here or at Amouage Opus VI. I prefer LDDM to it by a mile now. Thinking of getting a bottle for the next winter once I go through my 5ml decant. If you find LDDM too sweet then you might want to try Au Coeur du Desert. It's like an older, grown up brother of LDDM. I don't find anything powdery in LDDM nor fecal in Ambre Sultan though (I think you might mean here the curry-like spiceness of it).

>>15024638

Yeah, I do that a lot already with single bottles, probably a third of what's there changes over the course of any given year and a quarter is permanent and gets replaced when used up. Didn't think of doing ones that aren't worth selling along as bulk though. I don't mind having so many while have the storage room for it at the moment, but if that changes in the future I'd probably cull everything down to the 20 I wear most and vintage/discontinued ones I keep purely for investment/future resale value.

>>15024647
I got a sample, but I can see this being bottle-worthy. I may check out ambre lumiere, as Serge Lutens does not have pity of our finances.
I can definitely see why you would prefer LDDM over AS. As an artistic creation, I think that I agree with you, it is much more exciting. I do find it very powdery, specially in the opening, don’t know how you don’t notice it. Even Ambre Sultan has some powderiness, but much more subdued.
> If you find LDDM too sweet then you might want to try Au Coeur du Desert
That is interesting. The sweetness of Ambre Sultan is justly what I think that allows it to be more wearable than LDDM. I may try Au cour later, but as everyone has described it to me thus far, I think I will prefer L’air.
The fecal note of both is in fact related to the spiceness, but not exactly it. I can get it at 2 moments in AS: right when you begin to sniff it, likely associated with the benzoin; and at the very end of the body of the fragrance, just past the spiceness. If I recall LDDM correctly, its fecal note was also at the end, but I cannot recall it at the beginning.

I bought BBRI for like £12 on ebay.
Wore it a few times last year, didn't like it.
Randomly chose to use it as a room spray before bed just now and I am amazed at how good it smells for the price.
Anyone else do a 180 on frags they weren't keen on?

>>15024632
what's your favorite oud/rose? i've tested many of them too and my favorite atm would have to be diptyque's oud palao. it's skanky, powerful and has a nice smooth tobacco in the drydown that is there just enough to compliment the sexy oud.

*mogs all of YSL Tuxedo fags with one spray for 1/6 price*

do you guys love it or hate it?
I love it but depends on the occasion, have received compliments on it before

there's a story to be told. of good and evil. a cosmic schism, a wild funnel where the point of singularity, the final escape is only the beginning. the story is true and it's become a cold tale told in warm places. a story of the eater and the eaten. people speak of ysl. yes, they speak of the house and it's cherished, it's glistenings. of it's revered, always it's revered with that air of sophistication, of softness and care. something complacent and beautiful and has made a custom of turning it's back on it's wicked dealings, it's past it hopes to forget in the silence of death. this has become futile, because in the years since the tremor has only become more violent, and in these years they've learned to disregard the hunger. they've starved it but is doesn't die. it only becomes hungrier... and in it's place they've become a symbol of regality, of sterile streamlined luxury in a white room. le vestiaire des parfums they call it. simplicity and elegance. a swooning dance in sweeping silk on a bed of vapors... a dream even. all in vain because it's been fed only the best, and it's never known a want. it's slept ceaslessly, carelessly above the earth where at it's center spins in pangs of hunger and fury, of agony something brutish. they say it may come later. but later is now, the hour is now. it's been a matter of then but not now and then is now and now has been here forever... and they say to always remember that saying said only in the dark: "Tuxedo is the mother, Kouros is the wolf."

How quickly do you finish off a 100ml bottle? I'm trying to finish off what I have before I get new stuff but it takes ages. They say theres about 1400 sprays in 100ml so 250-350 uses so how do you not get tempted to buy new stuff before you finish off a bottle?

>>15024872
If your guesstimations are correct, then you should go through 100ml in a year or less. Which is why I'm only buying samples these days, and very a 50ml bottle.

>>15024884
*very rarely, phoneposting.

>>15024868

Depends how you store it. If you seriously want one for life, buy ten of the largest bottle size of it and keep every one you don't use in a wine cooler at a permanent stable temperature in a dark space and it should last decades.

luna rossa black is amazing, i was skeptic at first but it's the only fragrance that has gotten me so many compliments and great reactions from thots, i even had a girl tell me she hates me because i turn her on with how good i smell out of the blue, i have tried powerhouses like dhi and aventus but this is the only one that's got me such reactions, i thought compliments from frags were a meme

>>15024349
code is masculine, code profumo and absolu however are twink tier if you're over 22

>>15024872
>>15024884
Your estimation is correct it would take me around 1 year of almost daily use of a fragrance to finish it. By 200+ that went through my roto I meant stuff that I bought and eventually sold. I'm also all for sampling stuff. It's just so much more convenient and economical.

>>15024813
They’re minerals, Marie!

>>15024872

I got Hommage a l'Homme as a blind buy two years back because it was so cheap and I generally like Lalique fragrances. Got rid of it soon after cause I really don't like violet heavy fragrances, especially such a powdery one like HaLH. But that said it was a well blended, smooth floral barbershop type scent but just really not my personal taste. If you like violet and like more classical barbershop style masculine florals though you'd probably like it, very affordable too.

Huh, never had any problems with them. Email them, they’ll probably send you a replacement.

Also, fuck Eugene.

>>15024074
how is habit rouge?

i just mixed 3 parts texas cedar 1 part virginia cedar, isoesuper, ambroxan, hedione, galaxolide and cedramber and it's really good :-) Almost smells like Profumum Roma Arso but without the smoke. But almost no projection : (

>>15025118
> But almost no projection
See, that's where actual chemistry comes to the game.

>>15024780
I despise it deeply. So do most people

>>15025118
everyone has to start somewhere anon, don't be discouraged and keep trying so that one day we may enjoy your creations

>>15025118
Needs fixatives and you probably made the concentration too high. Fragrances project by the evaporative action of the alcohol. If you don’t have enough alcohol, your fragrance won’t project much. This is why extraits/perfume oils don’t project as well as EDPs.

>>15025134
thanks. it's a fun and relatively inexpensive hobby : )

>>15025130
absolutely

>>15025131
Obviously you’re not a prosecutor.

Lads I don't know whether to get the 1.7 or the 3.4 oz of Dior homme EDT. It's so good and it probably going to become harder to find, but am I ever going to get through the 1.7 even?

>>15025408
always buy the big bottle

Alright /frag/, Sauvage edt or edp? Which is preferable?

>>15024780
My Macron cocksucking mayor wears it, the moment I smelled it on him it killed the fragrance forever for me

I'm thinking of going year round with one fragrance. Where I live, there's only really two seasons.

>>15024268
what batch is the la nuit de l'homme?
also how long ago did you get these all guccis since they are real expensive shit right now. congrats anon

>>15025699
both are shit. you better look for something different

>>15024773
You made me order a 5ml sample. Gonna test it against Tuxedo next time.

Imagine being a girl taken home to his place after a night out and discovering that he spends 10x more on beauty products than you do.
>haha my friends are waiting for me that was a nice evening bye anon haha

>>15024758
Surprisingly it's Black Aoud by Montale. It just has this masculine edge over everything I tested while still being wearable unlike many to Eastern oud heavy scents.
>>15025791
Quite based ngl. I cut my collection to 7 bottles out of which I hope to finish one designer bottle I don't really like very soon and be at 6. Regardless, I feel like cutting my collection further down to like 4 scents. These likely would be
>Spring
Eau Sauvage Parfum
>Summer
Xerjoff Mefisto Gentiluomo
>Autumn
Nicolai New York Intense
>Winter
MDCI Chypre Palatin
And possibly some small decants of special stuff for special occasions. Having a signature scent is such an alluring concept. It's hard to achieve though if you live in a place where you have more or less 4 distinct seasons, but having one per each season seems like a good compromise. The only person that I know of who comes close to having a signature scent rather resorted to a signature accord not fixing one fragrance. He opted for wearing iris heavy powdery fragrances: Misia, Putain des Palaces, some exclusive Grossmith London for special occasions and I gave him for one of his bdays Lipstick Rose by Frederic Malle. It works very well for him and he can change his fragrance according to weather/occasion/time of the day still wearing the same 'core accord' that people know him from (he's gay though lol). Sometimes I wonder if people actually notice that you're changing scents almost every day and if they perceive this as a strange thing to do.

>>15025969
He might like ysl trench, it's a light Iris wrapped in Mandarin oranges with a touch of powder. I hate powder and I like it, so it's on my list of wants, but it's probably too pricy tho. Both mefistos, the brown 1888 bottle, the blue fuzzy bottle, and Renaissance are the xerjoffs I think I would like to have.

Any worthwhile floriental not on the OP chart that's on the inexpensive end?

>>15024625
Showering biweekly at least should do the trick.

I just searched the archives for the discussion some people had on updating the OP chart. I think this was the latest status in November.

As a frenchman I would feel very self conscious about having a bottle of putain des palaces in my bathroom

>>15025035
You got the womans version, but that doesnt really matter for the atomizer that should always be there

>>15025979
Idk if it is powdery enough. Might check it out and buy it for his next bday.
>>15026153
Oh no, he is very conscious about it as he speaks French fluently. He once told me that what he looks in fragrances is 'the most whore-like powderinnes'. Putain des Palaces fit the bill I guess lol

>>15026095
>>15026104
Thanks, I will post the whole post I saved somewhere on my laptop this afternoon. The thing is that I a) run out of time to do this b) got stuck on the Floral category that I'm not an expert on honestly. Should we just keep it as it is and rather just remove discontinued/too lowkey things and update pricing? Thoughts?

>>15026175
>just keep it as it is
I mean here Floral category. The Citrus one is pretty much done as we discussed it over 4-5 threads.

>>15026175
try to give priority to ones we discuss more than others, but don't remove the ones that aren't discontinued.
I would help you this weekend to update the chart as well if you give me a group to update, but you'd need to give me the frags that you want in it

>>15026203
You mean you can do graphics editing? That would be great as I lack any PS skills.

>>15026205
i mean i'd just edit the thing in paint.net so it's really not hard

My SOTD
Good quality, cheap and nobody knows about it.

>>15026095
>acqua di sale and sel marin
They are thematically identical, so there is not much point in keeping both. In my opinion Sel Marin is much better, so it should stay.

>>15026315

>>15025923

Not a proper vintage, 2016 batch I think. The Guccis I got PH I cheap last year on a normiebook group cause it had no cap, swapped Invasion Barbare for Envy on another group two years back and brought PH II off a cousin in 2015.

>>15025955

That's another reason beyond ideal storage conditions that I keep them stored in a cold, dark cupboard rather than lying around. It's more like a distraction than a turn-off though. I had this one-night stand with a co-worker about year and a half ago and she spent the best part of half an hour fucking around and sniffing literally everything I had at the time. Worst part of it is she presumably brought and then started wearing Noir de Noir shortly after saying it was her favourite in my collection. Now I notice her wearing it whenever she's in on the evenings or night shifts so I couldn't really wear it at work again, sold it not long after.

It's a useful consideration about getting involved with eastern euro thots that are really into make-up/cosmetics/perfume. They won't just use your frags, they'll copy them and start wearing them too.

thoughts?

>YouTube deleted like 90% of my sloth views.

Fucking Victor he hasn’t been commenting on anything he probably did some shilly shit to drown/neuter the video. Friendship over

>>15026714
Never trust a man who wants you to smell like a literal animal.
He probably faps to some animal porn or something

>>15025955
That’s only half true, though. It depends on how/where you live. If the girl comes to your place and it’s a run-down shithole in a bad neighborhood and you have absolutely no nice stuff except your thousands in fragrances, yeah, it’s gonna be a problem. If you’re obviously wealthy, not so much. Being a wealthy man is like being a hot girl, people let you get away with all kinds of shit that someone poorer wouldn’t be able to.

>>15026706
smells like nice soap. I like it

Thinking of spending the money I would spend on a bottle of whiskey on getting decants of Oud Wood, Joob and TL.
But I could just put that cash towards getting a bottle of something like Code Profumo as a dumb reach night time frag down the pub or casual stuff in winter for next year.
Which do I do /frag/?

What are you getting?

Thinking about picking up a tar soap, is it a bad idea? I personally love the smell of tar, but it's a pretty divisive smell

>>15023911
Agreed

found a guy who makes fake imitation fragrances and got 100ml of fake aventus for 5 euro, it smells 100% identical to the real thing, from opening to drydown with the only difference being that it last 5 hours longer than the real thing. get rekt lmao

>>15027002
Eh, good for you that you like it but I suspect it's not 100% identical. I've been through this phase and tested many (well-regarded) copy-cat producers. Typically the scents were off, synthetic smelling or lacking in performance. I've went through 50+ copies and maybe like 2 were actually worth buying.

>>15027102
Since we're on the topic of copy-cat houses, have Armaf made anything decent?
Their prices leave me very skeptical

>>15027102
This 2bqhfam. I’ve dabbled a lot in clones as well and at first I’d often be satisfied because I really wanted them to be as good as the real thing, but as I lived with them, I’d always inevitably be forced to come to the conclusion that they were pale imitations. Quite simply, large houses have access to superior materials. Clone houses aren’t using high-end industry-grade aromachemicals, they’re using whatever they can buy on eBay or amateur perfumery sites. Just isn’t the same thing.

Now, whether they’ll smell close enough for your individual taste is another matter entirely. Me personally, I’m just autistic about looking or smelling cheap.

Twisted lily is having a 30% off sale. Lots of sales going on with little stock. I feel like they are going out of business and haven’t dropped the news yet. It’s a shame if they are though, good store.

>>15026932
None. 100% off on all orders you don't buy

>>15027169
But you miss 100% of frags you don’t buy.

Why is Jeremy saying “Mr and Mrs” instead of “Ladies and gentlemen”? It’s fucking annoying.

I am wearing milesime imperial again and my opinion hasn’t changed. This is a very weak body odor smelling fragrance. Smells cheap and does not project. In only really get a very mild mandarine and a sea salty note.

Wear fragrance with confidence. Marry tradslut housewife.

>>15027198
I envy the tattoo artist that has those fat arms to work with

My friend (female) said that Prada L'homme just smells lilke soap to her and that the doesn't like it. I thought everyone liked that fragrance.

>>15027206
>My friend (female)
female (formerly male)?

Thoughts about Bvlgari Man Wood Essence? Anybody try it? I just found out about it, and no stores in my town carry it, so I'm going to have to order it. Is it aesthetic? I like orientals and woods. Also a fan of Bvlgari Black, Dior Fahrenheit, and other interesting unique smells

>>15027197
Creed is vastly overrated and baby’s first niche. More news at 11

>>15026714
Just realized some of my other videos have been nerfed too. Really bums me out and kind of takes the wind out of my sails. Victor and the fragcomm elite decided I had to go on the chopping block. No room for the small fish honest channels. I never had any expectations for it but it doesn’t make me feel good I have active antagonists. I guess the sloth vid really peeved Victor off before he could get it to his shills. Thought he would have been cooler about it all.

>>15027235
All i remember is trying wood neroli and wood essence at the same time, and wood neroli was miles better. Wood essence was nice but i was surprised at how great wood neroli was. It was funny because i didn't even realise they were 2 different fragrances as the bottles look the same as well.

>>15027270
I am not taking in consideration weather it is niche or its price point. It is just a poor fragrance that lags behind many designer shitfrags.
Creed does have some nice releases, but I do agree that they are a shitty company.

>>15027235
I got a free sample form someone at some point. It was literally the worst fragrance I tried in last year. Vile synthetic shit.

What has happened? Did they take their 5 subscriptions back? I really don't understand what you could mean by nerfing.

>>15027289
I am not him, but unless my memory is wronging me, his videos has something like 800 views on average and now they have dropped significantly to 300-ish. Most are under 100, which doesn’t look right at all.

>>15027292
How can views be retracted?

>>15027300
If reported to YouTube that views are suspected to be paid for or by a bot, I think they can "reset" the view count etc

>>15027270
Hold up, though. Do we know for a fact a Victor has something to do with this? You did mention that you had this weird spike in views/subs from Southeast Asia a while back. Maybe something fucky was going on there? Maybe they were bot accounts or something and YouTube was just pruning them. Just saying, maybe don’t jump the gun and accuse Victor without any proof, there are lots of other possible explanations.

That aside, don’t get discouraged. You started your channel for us, we like your content, so keep it up. You don’t have to be a big fish, you’re our fish, that’s all that matters.

>>15026706
very safe fragrance, but i like it

>>15027302
And what incentive would the guy from Zootopian have to to report them assuming that they came from him in the first place? I think I'm missing something here.

>>15027305
>You started your channel for us
Not even, man. Scentscav, you started that shit because you liked talking about frags as you went along discovering them, don't worry about the views. Do it because you enjoy it, not because of some ephimeral jewtube fame and glory. The real treasure was the friends you made along the way, the random anons who mailed you samples to review, and the other anons whom you mailed samples to (did that even happen? Was there a giveaway winner?).

> You did mention that you had this weird spike in views/subs from Southeast Asia a while back.
This is also true, I remember this being discussed.

You were bragging at some point that you used to be an Olympic gymnast. Still waiting for this video of you smelling frags while doing splits faggot.

Fag from across the ditch here. We only have mecca for niche fragrances as well, so I tend to just look at online marketplaces and buy used for cheaper. Cdg isn't faked afaik, so it's safe to do

I have no idea what it was I’m just telling you what I see on my end. Not accusing victor but I was the second reviewer of bee. I’m the first reviewer of new bat and sloth and still holding that position. I was the first reviewer of the new imaginary authors telegrama too. I’ve been the first to review some hyped fragrances despite being a relative nobody. I get my words in weeks or months before the shills. Not saying it’s anyone in particular I’m just saying hundreds of views got cut. I do my review mostly for you guys so I’m not heartbroken. I’m just letting you all know there may be some sleazy players in the community. Could have been a YouTube audit for the sketchy Southeast Asia activity but would be odd addressing it at this point and it was other videos hit besides the santal 33 vid.

Aventus is a hypebeast meme. Why they latched onto Aventus so hard, I really have no clue. MI seems like it would better hypebeasting or whatever the fuck it is those faggots do, but for whatever reason, for them, it’s Aventus. It’s honestly a pretty mediocre scent.
