I wore DHP the other day for the first time in awhile. OMG it's gotta be Top 5 GOATs! I had 4 sprays, with one behind my neck on each side, it got on my hoody and I was getting strong wafts all day long for TWO straight days before I washed it few days later, and it was still strong then! It is my favorite fragrance, along with Ambre Nuit! Dior is King for me!

Man, good call on Fahrenheit Le Parfum, what a work of art from a designer house! It’s a shame the OG Fahrenheit doesn’t last, wish I could get my hands on a vintage bottle!! Also really curious about APEX Parfum, my friend John from Refinery Fragrances raves about the original (ashamed to admit I have YET to try it😂)!! Only reason I’m stoked on the parfum is the bottle size!! Much prefer smaller bottles for travel but hey if they kept the same DNA and just thickened it up I’m actually stoked on that cuz I would love to just have a smaller bottle of the original dna and if it’s a little beefed up, hey BONUS!!! Loved this video J, you’re a legend my man!!!! 🎺 🤘

The “best” flanker I’ve ever experienced has to be Valentino Uomo intense or BVLGARI Man In Black. They both have the original DNA but both were deepened and made richer. I’m so excited to get 2nd Soul and see the deeper and richer characteristic.

Guerlain L’homme Ideal, perfect description. Is there anything more handsome? The greatest designer line of all time for me and I wear the current four as almost a signature scent, or at least one of several scents people would recognize me by. Every scent has its own personality and they’re all incredible quality. I honestly think as a designer frag (I consider this line designer) there may be no better combo of mass appeal and uniqueness. Usually they don’t go hand in hand. This is extremely unique and extremely mass appealing at the same time, while being high quality. I love it. One smell of this and I am reminded and reaffirmed of why I love fragrances so much. (Not that I need to be reaffirmed!) The one good thing about concentration flankers is I can sniff them all and get the best one. Bleu parfum, y parfum, sauvage elixir, etc. Great stuff, Justin.

Great video Justin, I think my definition of a flanker somewhat lines up with yours. One of my favorite flankers is Pegasus Exclusif. You get that it comes from Pegasus from the first spray, but it’s so much deeper and darker and definitely made for the cooler days. One of my favorite designer flankers has to be La Nuit De L’Homme. Completely different than the original (that I absolutely still love to this day) and definitely fits different occasions. Darker and sexy in comparison to its predecessor.

Who, apart from collectors and youtubers, actually buys flankers while they still have the original? Normal people just go to the store and buy the version they like, and if there is more choice regarding variations around a dna then what's wrong with that? To put it another way, there's nothing particularly cash-grabby about flankers compared to the rest of the whole fragrance industry.

Most people that buy fragrances don't even understand "flanker". They go to a store and buy what smells nice to them. They might recognize a name, but they don't make any immediate distinction between Acqua Di Gio and Acqua Di Gio Profumo. For example, my wife's uncle was talking to me about "cologne" because he heard my mother in law comment on mine. He said "I own 2 colognes." I asked which ones. He said "they're both Hugo". I said "Cool. Which ones?". He didn't understand what I meant. And repeated "They're both Hugo." So ya, long story short, this is just "fragrance community" stuff.

All fantastic scents but I can't get them to work on my skin. Love your content, Justin. You've done so much for me in regards to taming the "addiction" part of this hobby and made me want to downsize my collection for something artistic and interesting for myself.

I think the most interesting “flankers” are those scent compositions that are developed for a number of different niche or designer scents. The perfumer has a wider range of options yet must take their creativity and signature and play within the parameters of the house.

Niche flankers are a bit more rare, but I can try to find some. Not all traditional flankers, some are just concentration changes, but I tried. Good: Gris Charnel Extrait (original summer only to me, but Extrait is a staple spring-fall scent), Lune Feline Extrait (ramps up balsamic vanilla base), Accento Overdose (performance 3x'd), Layton Exclusif (profile definitely adjusted enough for it to be worth), Alexandria II (original Alexandria is fairly similar, but there's a reason why the more matured out in A2 became popular and original didn't). Trash/not worth: Aventus Cologne (blatant cash grab, they made a weaker version of an already watered down scent w/ trash performance), Oud for Happiness (as much as I like this scent, this isn't worth it - people came in wanting OFG 2.0 and got a calming wind-down sweet scent with poor performance), Uden Overdose (it actually performs worse than original? lol).

Pasha de Cartier parfum - yes. Armani code absolu - fab ( haven’t tried the other codes ) . Paco Rabanne UltraRed - mm mmmm. 5 proper flankers - in my opinion. One more .. Valentino oumo intense.

If it truly is the closest to the original LNDL formulation, then what I smell with today’s formulation must be watered down lol I could never understand why I didn’t think it was as special as people say it is.
