Haven’t really bought anything for retail price in years. Companies slam “Elixir” or “Parfum” on the bottle and think they can charge 25% extra on top of the already high prices. No thanks.

Suggestions.......... This video was great. Would you consider doing this exact format but add the following: show 2 of the absolute best clones for each one and then focus on DNA (with the main point of when it's dry unless it has a long dry down), projection, how long it lasts on skin vs clothes, etc.... that would be the greatest help on knowing what to buy. Also hit up some extremely expensive ones and of course those clones. Love your shows... thank you for listening.

Im in England i thought our prices were going up fast but some of the prices you’ve quoted are mental (allowing for exchange rate). Also Ive got to say Ive been collecting steadily for years with around 350 fragrances including designer and niche but this is the first time in that period that im seriously looking at going niche exclusively because if you shop around the difference isn’t massive.

I implore you to try Armaf Art Du'Parfum. It is a Sauvage Elixir Dupe that, in my honest opinion, is much better and only costs 1/10th the cost. Same notes as in Elixir, but honestly not as rough. Also has a huge longevity. Highly recommend it. Wished I had purchased it before dropping the $250 for Elixir. But I'm glad I bought Elixir too.

@fragheads6456 5 месяцев назад

All these brands are 3-4 times as expensive as they were in the late 90’s to early 2000’s. It’s sad to say I remember when you could go to Macy’s, Jcpenny, or even Kaughmans if your from up north which Macy’s bought. All of these in the 90’s used to be close to $50 for all of these brands. To see Acqua di Gio this expensive is just simply ludicrous to me. Especially when I know I picked up a bottle in my high school years for right around 60 bucks and now they want legitimately over three times that price for the same thing. Absolutely not there’s a reason why the clone market is taking off into another stratosphere. And it’s simply because, these designers have lost touch with their consumer base. And they can see what they want that the cost of materials have gone way up and everything like that but if it was the case, then these call brands wouldn’t be able to get even as remotely close as they do. They’re spending far too much money on marketing and advertising and paying celebrities, and simply have forgotten about the art of fragrance entirely and that’s why all these con brands are slowly, but surely stealing their market share. If they were to get back to the roots, launched fragrances that actually unique under $100 retail these clone brands would fold overnight.
