are you into flankers or do you think
some fragrance friends should give it a
rest already I'm with you there but in
today's video I'm going to share with
you some five great flankers that I
actually like more than the original
fragrances they were released after if
you guys want to check them out and see
which ones they are
stick around the videos up next welcome
back to the fragrance video I'm next for
it if you love to make a great first
impression smelling great definitely a
good way to start today's video we're
going to talk about flankers but not
just any flankers we all know that we're
getting a slew of fragrance flankers
every year every brand has a sport
flanker an ood flank or an extreme
flanker you name it they're out there
some fragrances are overdoing it but
needless to say there are some good ones
few and far in between and today I'm
going to share some 5 great ones that I
actually enjoy better than the original
and by the way if you like this concept
if you want to see me do a part 2 of
this particular video please be sure to
shown the like and leave it in the
comments and I'll come back with the
part 2 you know of this particular video
for you guys so first things first what
is a flanker most of you watching this
video will already know what a flanker
is but maybe for newbies starting to the
fragrance world fragrance collecting you
want to know what the heck of Frank
Frank flanker is I try to say that fast
three times so first things first what
is a flanker perhaps if you're watching
this video and freedoms aficionado for
ears your collector you know what the
flanker is but if you move into the
fragrance game if you're starting in the
fragrance community
you're starting to collect fragrances
you might say to yourself what the heck
is a flanker so a flanker essentially is
a fragrance that is modeled after a
certain fragrance so it's another
continuation it's another iteration of
that particular fragrance I'm gonna give
you a quick example here so dolce
gabbana the one or the toilet and don't
think about of the one EVP they're gonna
appear next to me here you can see the
bottles themselves are very similar with
some darker facets to the to the old
about bump which meant that they took
the original EDT you know
characteristics and amped it up they may
be the tobacco a little stronger they
made the amber a little sweeter a little
bit more amplified so that's what that
means essentially a flanker is a
continuation of an existing fragrance
with you know different attributes or
maybe amped up characteristics from the
original so having said that let's talk
of all my
this option here now these in no
particular order these are great
flankers that again I love more than the
original and we're gonna start talking
about just the one we just talked about
which is all the puff thumb of the dolce
gabbana the one in comparison to the EDT
alleviate polish is the perfumer here
which is now the Chanel in-house
perfumer he did a fantastic job of this
particular fragrance this is actually
the first release of this particular
fragrance from 2015 this is actually a
first formulation of that fragrance
which is absolutely fantastic as I was
saying before he amped up the tobacco he
made the amber a little sweeter a little
bit more amplified taking that original
great tobacco amber you know lavender
kind of a feel that we all come to love
from the original EDT to the next level
making a little bit more longer-lasting
as performance was an issue with EDT so
if you guys haven't checked this one out
definitely a flanker that I do enjoy
more than the original next up we have a
fragrance that is compared to a
fragrance that perhaps copied this
fragrance and I'm talking about Chanel
allure m-sport
and then we had Versace for home in 2008
which is kind of copy in that particular
scent character but then Chanel went
ahead and took it a couple steps further
releasing this particular fragrance that
I absolutely love which is Chanel law
Rome Sporto extreme which takes that
mint and tonka vibe actually it takes
the original allure on sport you know
citrus aromatic with a little Alta
hillock kind of undertone and in this
beautiful mint of top along with the
tonka beans in the base just taking it
to the next level making an outstanding
fragrance long lasting great for
compliments and you know ELISA say with
the Chanel quality that we all come to
love and what we expect from Chanel is
pure class and that's what you find in
this bottle great for compliments you
guys heard about this fragrance over and
over again
definitely a great way to get started
within the Chanel you know pour own
fragrances and this particular one
definitely my favorite from the Chanel
allure collection so all extreme here a
flanker that I do like more than the
original Chanel Laurent sport
speaking of masterpieces this next one I
consider to be a masterpiece of
modern-day perfumery and this particular
fragrance is modeled after the original
2005 do your own which was an
outstanding creation first was Emma she
then gave us dear
hence in 2007 and then in 2014 he gave
us this incredible fragrance that to me
it is the best flanker of this
particular collection this is your fun
which takes that iris but surely Coco
like vibe and amps it up with a dirty
leather pour in the hint a touch of food
in the composition just oriental to its
finest guys if you haven't checked this
out please do this stuff yours again in
masterpiece in modern day perfumery call
it what you will some people I know like
to call this metrosexual of the
fragrances but needless to say you have
to tip your head off to a great
composition and this one here's nothing
short of a great composition definitely
my favorite flanker of this particular
lineup
do you or perform here at the third spot
again we're gonna stay here without the
flanker that definitely has that cocoa a
truly kind of a vibe that I do love and
then this one and this particular
flanker that we're talking about now is
modeled after the original 2005 release
let's Dante gallant and of course it's
going to be a girl on you know release
here and this is one stunt they got a
lot Alex trim or as we all know here in
the fragrance community Lidge this
particular one guys if you like a
gorgeous cocoa but Julie type of a scent
almost gives you like a boozy tobacco
kind of a feel special in the beginning
and has this you know orange liqueur
kind of a facet as well just a great
scent it's sensual it's sexy it's you
know just compelling warm amazing you
know you've seen how much I wore this
juice you know I have a backup bottle
thank goodness because the darker edges
was reformulated twice we now have this
particular fragrance and a lighter you
know bottle without the darker edges and
and it was released a third time with a
skinny bulb which is now customary to
all gumline fragrances but Lidge if you
can find in this here and the darker
edges I think it's definitely my
favorite number one from the Home
Collection and lunch santa coloma
extreme guys it's just one of those
fragrance that just took that genre to
the next level guys this stuff here is
uncanny again another masterpiece if you
love but truly fill out cocoa fragrances
if you like this particular line here
from from from Dior you're gonna
absolutely fall in love with this one if
you can find this bottle do pick it up
because you're gonna be blown away last
but not least we have a 2018 release
which I've spoken to you guys about on
the channel immensely I think it's a
great flanker to
fragrance that was a little bit tired
was originally released in 1949 so it
needed a tan uplift it needed like a
facelift or a reconstruction if you will
in this particular fragrance ears of
course moustache pulled up a thumb from
Roche us I love roches fragrances I
think you always get a lot for your
money a big bang for your buck if you
will
thick glass bottle thick metal cap
beautiful spray or mist and this
particular scent is just mind-blowing
talk about a scent it's going to smell
of fine quality of you know high-end
refined you smell this fragrance
immediately it's gonna have this boozy
kind of a facet it's amber it's vanilla
its benzoin it's a little bit spicy
reminds me of tuxedo from Yves Celeron
so if you like that fragrance right off
the bat you know this stuff is going to
smell amazing guys for the price point
the stuff you can you can have this
fragrance between 50 and 60 dollars on
the gray mark and it's definitely a
steal if you asked me and I urge you
