2019 was the year I started to get interested in fragrances. I received what was most popular at the time for Christmas as a fragrance up until that point, and I finally decided to try my hat at some other, perhaps better smelling fragrances. I've accumulated a small collection, but they're all fragrances I love the smell of and I'm happy to own. Now I'm buying duplicate bottles for when I run out in the future. Such a fun hobby, and it's never a bad thing to smell a bit better than you already do.

As far as Dior Homme, they're still going to produce and sell the same Dior Homme line as they always have with DH, DHP and DHI. Those 3 fragrances will still be made and sold as always and are NOT being phased out or done away with. Dior Homme 2020 is just a completely new stand alone fragrance. Everyone who loves the original Dior Homme line will still be able to buy those 3 fragrances, they arent going to be changed (same iris, cacao, leather, etc.) and they're not going anywhere. DH 2020 isnt a replacement, just a new take/direction.

i'm obviously in minority with my opinion, but reviewers launching "their own" fragrances is from my point of view just exploiting reviewing and people liking to watch the reviews for their personal gain and i am absolutely against that! and then come the (veery high) prices, based just on popularity of their channels... some would say: it's nothing wrong with that, but i strongly disagree; reviews become dishonest, not from passion (anymore) but out of (monetary) interest...that's why ashton has my true respect, since he does it (obviously) out of passion & love for fragrances and reviewing! thumbs up, Ash!!!

Thank you for putting everything together! I love your videos, they are always so informative! Happy 2020! As for Dior, I can't agree more, I'm a woman and can see the same happening with their ladies' range. They simplified my favourite Dior Addict (pretty unisex btw, you might want to give it a try if you haven't yet), I regret not buying an extra bottle when I had the opportunity. Even though the new version smelled pretty much alike when I tried it on the blotter, I'm pretty sure that more differences can be noticed on skin cause they reduced the number of notes significantly.
