Stumbling across your frag content feels like uncovering a discontinued Guerlain in the corner of a flea market in Japan

Love to see a video that provides actual history and fascinating information that I haven't heard about fragrances instead of another top 10 for once

I love that the Japanese are actually doing the secondhand market right! I really hate that everything old costs so much! Like damn, the house needs a new roof, has 1 bathroom, a tiny kitchen and a dilapidated shed out back... But the sellers want to charge $500,000. They bought it 15 years ago for $100,000

Raffi, I watched this with the biggest smile on my face while eating an egg sandwich. Mercari is definitely a perfume lovers best friend in Japan.🇯🇵

I was reading war and peace and the Russian soldiers always saved their showers and perfume for right before a big battle. Like you say in your other videos, fragrance is a mind altering substance

YouTube algorithm hits true. Love this video. As someone who’s into fragrances, your explanation about this phenomenon is interesting. And I love how present it so eloquently.

I just discovered you with this video, and it is absolutely amazing! I never got into the vintage clothing shopping in Japan because I’m a fatty, but I’m also an old lady who loves perfume. I am definitely going to do some vintage fragrance shopping on my next trip, while my young athletic and slim waist sons do garment shopping.<br><br>This video just creates more questions in my mind. I’m not even halfway through so perhaps you cover that. I’m wondering what happened in Japan that now they just don’t seem to care for fragrance. The same seems true of Korean and Chinese people. The east Asians, I have worked with, done business with, and socialize with who are not American do not seem to care for fragrances.
