Bro was pushing La Nuit Bleu Electrique harder than anyone less than a few months back and now considers it obsolete š
This channel has become more stale than a bottle Fahrenheit that has been left in the window of a Superdrug since 1998
Fragrances are not like automobiles. The newer ones are not always better than the older ones.
Dreamer is solid. It still gets worn while sitting right next to my 200ml bottle of 1m lucky. My daughter even has a bottle. She sampled it at boots in Manchester then spent her own cashmoney on a full bottle. Dreamer is solid.
I don't know why people say all the time that Spicebomb extreme got reformulated. I sprayed 2 times last week and a woman on the other side of a bar, said she could smell me. I have a November 2023 batch
The Dreamer is still very much relevant! Nothing else smells like it
I didn't live in the 90s and most of my colleagues didn't live in the 90s so I don't care if my scent smells like the 90s, no one will know that it's outdated. The Dreamer is such a nice scent even if you don't know it's already that old. I know florals isn't in the in right now but I'm a sucker at florals and as someone who still listen to stuff like jazz and 70s soul couldn't be more appropriate
I donāt agree with most of this. I donāt care how old a fragrance is, all Iām concerned about is whether or not it smells good. 95% of the public have no idea about fragrances anyway. Itās futile to talk about longevity because it can vary wildly from one person to another. Finally, please stop telling your audience that 37.2% are subscribed. This is the same figure youāve been quoting for nearly a year. Itās highly unlikely that that very precise figure has remained unchanged for a full year. It does nothing for your credibility.
I think all of your comments are valid Omar. Time moves on and style changes, however scent has an emotional resonance and can transport us back in time or give us a sense of confidence, calm, or vitality. A collection should be about love, and that is always up to the beholder. Some fragrances, transcend the art or trends and become a part of our own essence. In the collecting hobby, new and innovation keep things fresh, while our favourites keep us grounded to the feelings that brought and kept us in the hobby to begin with. Sauvage (EDT) is a signature scent for me (Bleu de Chanel Parfum and TF Noir Extreme too) and will be like my Aramis in 40 years. Versace Eros (EDT, EDP, and Energy or even D&G Light Blue Eau Intense) will always be a part of my summer rotation for as long as its available. New scents will enter the collection and be replaced or forgotten, but those with a touch a āscentimentalā will live on with in the collection- for me at least.
Versace The Dreamer is a great and cheap chilling at home in the evening, after a shower or casual summer patio hang outs. Hard to beat the insane price. Are there better white florals? Yes. But still worth having and unique. In class of weather it has a kind of odd sour smell, but is relaxing in warmer weather.
The Dreamer will always be relevant imo. If Versace dropped an EDP of The Dreamer today your tune would change in the very next video I bet.
Not even a troll comment, I'd love to see Omar make an Amouage buying guide. Omar, from one middle eastern man to another, your taste is incredibleš¤£
Vintage cars, vintage furniture, vintage fragrances. They arenāt for everyone, but of the best of those, they become a lot more valuable, as everyone knows their value, as opposed to so many modern boring alternatives.
Trust me spicebomb extreme is not gutted whatsoever. 6 sprays last 10-12 hours on my dry ass skin with medium projection and every time I ask people around me for feedback on whether the scent is strong they nod their heads up and down so hard to me that they look like bobble heads on 50 pounds of Jeremy Fragrance quality crack. You really donāt want or need more performance/projection than that especially with such a strong and spicy frag. If you want ābeast modeā performance, most Montale, Mancera, or Xerjoff frags will do the trick. PSA, after spraying on skin, if you donāt smell it after a lil while itās because youāre nose-blind to it. I swear some people on fragrantica are the predecessors of homo-sapiens.
These reviewers really are full of absolute š š©. Changing their minds constantly on frags. Maybe the Dubai $$$ makes things smell different. š¤·
Just got a bottle of the masterpiece Terre DāHermes ETD for Christmas and I completely disagree! Been getting 7-8 hours with a good medium projection and have been getting a lot of compliments with it. Iām a 4-5 spray guy for referenceā¦ also Tabacco Vanille is not out dated at all lol that is a classic Tom Ford DNA! But I do agree with the rest of your list. Those others are fading into the sunset
I first got into watch reviews and bought a lot of them, and now I am into fragrances. Not a good find for my wallet, but there is something so nice about picking your scent for the day, for me symbolizing what I plan for the day, I spray it, it excites my senses and gets me in the right mood.
I just got Ideal Extreme and The Dreamer. They were pretty cheap, and i wanted them on the shelf. The Dreamer definitely smells like a 90's fragrance, but I like smelling things that bring me back. I haven't received the Ideal Extreme yet, but have high hopes
If you like Tobacco Vanille, get Amouage Boundless instead. Not the same, but a similar style, higher quality, cheaper, and has some incense.
