Outstanding playlist mate :), you sure have some taste in Music mate :). I am actually listening to Feeling Good while I respond to your awesome comment mate :). Loving it !

[@ozzymeck870]

@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews it's intriguing how the senses work -that you can find song& music that captures the very essence and comfort a particular fragrance gives you. Btw I'm working on the playlist for part1.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

@@ozzymeck870 Nice one mate look forward to the playlist for part1. This is an awesome idea and you have truly captured how I felt after reading your playlist. In fact I still remember what music was playing at the stores during some of my epic buys, for example the first time I bought Gucci PH the store was blaring chasing cars :), our senses work in unison don't they? every emotion is stored together.

[@user-hn9cj6kh9j]

My favorite part of your videos is when you raise your hand and says "AC here" haha always brings great smile to my face. Sometimes I do it with you. Should I seek help? 😂

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

hahahah Hakim, your comment had me in splits. Its like a concert sing along mate :). Well done, enjoyed the comment mate.

[@karatekid9489]

Most likable reviewer I have watched, keep it up good man!

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thank you my friend most kind of you :).

[@DixieLiving]

AC, you have outdone yourself again! As a fan of Puccini and Epic Man I was totally unaware of their connection. I had wondered when or if you were a Jovoy fan. Excellent choice. Opulent is the word for those I have from that House. Got to watch this a few more times. You have me on the edge if my seat with a few if these I don't have. Many thanks my friend!

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thank you Lamar, I was also unaware of the inspiration behind the two Epics until I started doing my research as I want to do a full review soon. I am glad to see you like Opera too. I am a Jovoy fan and also MDCI fan as they are owned by Jovoy. In fact like you I am super excited by rich fragrances. I highly recommend you track down a vintage Azuree. You will not regret :).

[@mohammedanas4330]

Congrats for your 10K subscribers.

[@danielsan3681]

Yes! I did like the last one. I love all your reviews!

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thank you Daniel, I am pleased to hear you like my reviews my friend :).

[@SamuelGustav]

Great list, looking forward to part 3, ambre loup is to me on the top 5 of best ambers around, very underrated fragrance and house

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thank you Samuel and totally agree on your views on Ambre Loup and the house. Which other ones have you tried from this house?

[@justaddlight]

You know what's weird...the first time I smelled Amouge Gold, I immediately thought - Rolex. So crazy how you said it AC. In my mind, I remember having the image of a rather hairy arm (which I don't have) wearing a gold Rolex. LOL Just recently got a sample of Derby and have worn it twice. Awesome awesome stuff. So earthy on me. Part 2 was worth the wait!!

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Great minds think alike my friend. Gold has such an aura that you couldn't have thought anything else. I am delighted to know you got a sample of Derby. Man, these are the scents which make this hobby worth it I tell you. While I am typing this comment I am listening to Queen and that music and scent memory of Derby go so well :).

[@arthurscargill8010]

I'm enjoying your exploration of this theme, opulence is certainly something I look for in my fragrances. As a side note I believe there's only one version of AdP Colonia Oud, also one of my favourites, but separate entries on Fragrantica for both old & new branding of the same juice have led to confusion. Thanks for the video AC.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thank you Arthur I am glad you liked the theme and thanks also for the clarification on the two entries on Colonia Oud in Fragrantica. What are your most favorite opulent fragrances?

[@sultanalghamdi6856]

Thanks 👍

[@rajguleria3862]

A great personality ....it seems U are a genuine reviewer without any hidden agendas ....as some of the more 'professional' reviewers l observe with a heavy pinch of salt ....!

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thank you Raj , your comment made me laugh buddy. " Heavy pich of salt " LOLZ.

[@Shukrana_Universe]

Great list! My most favourite fragrance is Asrar Indonesia and my scent of the day is colonial Oud and 1 of my most fragrance amber fragrance is Ambre loup

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Munish this is awesome, so you have 3 out of the list i showcased? You are in very good company :) Try to get some of the vintage fragrances my friend, it will be endless joy!

[@Thetinebroken]

I bought the Molinard from part 1 video. If you are here make sure you check it out. When you see AC reaction you know what you are missing in your collection

[@olaniyirex]

Oh so nice! 👍

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thank you Rex, and great to see you mate :).

[@m.s.biteth1164]

I bought a bottle of Azuree Extrait Vintage for a song at a shop. This frag is wow, wow, wow! Fully classic leather with oakmoss. Killer beast.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

I agree one of best in Leather Fugere category IMHO. I am going to do a full review soon :).

[@steveb8269]

Guerlain Derby and Amouage Gold are next on my wish list ❤

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Wow! both are stellar fragrances :)

[@prototp1]

GOLD Man and Rolex , you just gave me a goal. Keep up the good work sir.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thank you Rohit and a worthy goal eh :).

[@m.s.biteth1164]

For me: Amber Absolute vintage, Rasasi Boruzz Cambodia, Opus 6, Rochas Macassar, Amouage 25 vintage, Roja Fetish, House of Sillage #1. Runners up: Clive Christian X, Byredo 1996, Al Haramain Oud 36, Armani Prive Myrrh Imperial, Rasasi Qasamat Morhuf.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Awesome list my friend. good to see you stop by.

[@wisevibestv]

A Lovely list and throughly enjoyable videos my friend. Your passion for perfume oozes off the screen. I am a big fan of Guerlain Derby and Aramis that you mentioned here ( as well as HDP 1725 & Bal D'Afrique, which I know you love too!). I wanted to thank you for the videos and after I saw this one with your description of Azuree, I had to go and try it. So I popped over to House of Fraser on Oxford St yesterday and they had a tester and my God, it blew me away! What a classic aroma and a wonderful discovery. I love the old school leather chypre RP Bandit too, try that if you haven't and one more to suggest to you, if you like ADP Colonia Oud, you have to get your nose on the similar but higher end opulent and luxurious scent Widian Gold II...so anyways, I am grateful for the recommendation and keep em coming fella!

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thank you my friend and I am delighted to hear that you tried and liked Azuree. Looks like we have a lot of fragrances in common that we love. I am going to try Bandit and Widian Gold for sure. Thanks for the tip.

[@wisevibestv]

@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews Anytime buddy! Thank you.

[@Shukrana_Universe]

Also my fragrance journey started with PRPH..the CLASSIC KING

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

PRPH is such a blinding beauty isn't it. i can not stop smelling it off the bottle. It puts an instant smile on my face pal :)

[@beesofst.ambrose9306]

AC, please extend it to at least 10-part series😂 I don’t watch TV so watching your videos is the best relaxation!😂😂😂

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thank you Stefan, I will try :))). On a serious I do not watch TV as well. its just not for me apart from when some of my favorite sports is on. By the way do you sell any honey as I am looking to buy some natural honey ( unheated ones) and also there is a certain stuff the bees use to seal their combs ( I cant remember the name of it).

[@beesofst.ambrose9306]

Smells Good You mean propolis? It’s a resin bees use to seal cracks in hives. I do have raw honey but I’m afraid shipping to the UK would cost more than honey itself😂

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Oh dear :). I am going to drop you a note on IG private chat. Thanks for letting me know about Propolis, I have been looking for it as my friend suggested I have it and its quite good.

[@larryasiedu7704]

I spent time with amouage gold with the non magnetic cap today, and AC you are right... I encountered it around midday today and it's 9:51pm now and I keep getting wafts of the most opulent scents. Indeed, I am getting it.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Wow!, isnt it just a superb creation Larry :) I absolutely adore that fragrance :)

[@larryasiedu7704]

It is very unassuming and flies under the radar, until you make time with it like courting a woman. Wow! I was floored and I still am....

[@fatshady5714]

Hello again my friend! I first off must say that this series has been truly delightful! Expertly done! I can once again feel your love and passion for fragrance! BRAVO!! Now, I must throw you a bit of a curve ball, because you will not believe the price you will pay for this masterpiece! Please forgive me if you've reviewed this fragrance in the past, but I didn't see it in your list of videos. I am, of course, talking about Bentley For Men Intense! I bring this up because of some of the notes you have mentioned loving in these lists. I get Rum, inscense, patchouli, leather, cedar, and benzoin. There are other notes, but these are the most prominent. Bentley For Men Intense is a complex, niche quality scent with true personality that you can own for around $30!! If you don't have it yet, PLEASE get your nose on it! It's AMAZING my friend!!

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thanks a lot mate and yes I will definitely get a bottle of Bentley Intense soon, it has been on my to buy list for a while. Thanks a lot for your kind words my friend :).

[@fatshady5714]

@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews You are more than welcome and I'm sure you will enjoy Bentley For Men Intense. I am also very hopeful that you will do an honest review on it. Your reviewing style will, most certainly, give this beauty the respect it deserves.

For sure mate, i am going to get it and do a review soon.

You should review Amouage Gold. Not many on KZbin and I agree with you about its opulence.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Absolutely! will do once the weather cools down a bit.

Hi new subscriber, with your experience and huge selection of fragrance, it would be interesting to see you do a fragrance dating video. Thanks

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Hi Tony, no problem my friend and yes will do a list on dating fragrances for sure. Give me some time.

[@bronzeageperfumer5494]

Great to see Jovoy Paris talked about and making a favorites list none the less. That is not one I’ve sampled but I’ve come to assume everything they make is rich. Psychadelique also has that boozy feel but with patchouli, a great dark feeling fragrance. I look forward to your review of Les Jeux!

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Cody, absolutely mate, they make amazing fragrances and they also own MDCI who make even more amazing fragrances :). Psychadelique also happens to be one of my favs but I do not own a bottle of it. Will review Les Jeux soon :). Thanks for stopping by.

[@chiang828johnb828]

Italian way ! interesting what is italian style list , country theme frag list , is another creative content

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Great idea John, let me think about it :).

[@itskyyuuuu]

Most opulent notes, or the ones that make me think of royalty or wealth, are amber, saffron and benzoin to me. I am still trying broaden my knowledge of oud. I'm still looking to try Colonia Mirra from AdP as I believe that could be a consideration for this list!

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

I agree Kyle, those are very rich and opulent notes. Btw i wasn't much impressed by Mirra as it not a great scent but i will review it, as I have promised you only thing is I have to try hard and not make it a negative review. I don't like to do negative reviews.

[@itskyyuuuu]

@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews that is unfortunate to hear about mirra!

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

yeah, i was looking forward to it but when I tested it was let down. Will try again and take a call.

[@rina1592]

Sir please make a layering video too.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Sure, I will see what I can do.

You welcome keep up the good work

[@sandsmine]

just got a bottle of Guerlain oud. I have never smelt anything like it. I keep thinking where have I smelt it before and I think it could be from a womans. I like it and I don't like it. its not like perfume at all but I understand where its coming from and its history. I was so looking forward to smelling it.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thanks for the feedback on Guerlain Oud John, I have never smelled it. Next time I am in Harrods I will give it a shot. i take it its not that special.

[@davormargetic1881]

Hi there, did you try Yatagan by Caron and whats your opinion!? Tnx!! Love your channel!!

Hey Davor, thank you, I have tried Yatagan and love it. Will review it soon. I am glad you are enjoying my content :).

Woow great, can’t wait to hear your opinion!! 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@Shukrana_Universe]

I have the sheikh al faransi.. seductive...what would u suggest in Arabian Oud

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

i would highly recommend Kashmir, sample that and for more eastern smell try kalemat and Aseel.

[@Shukrana_Universe]

Dear sir, I’m looking for a middle eastern fragrance.. which one or ones do u suggest.. also which is ur favourite.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Hi Munish, can you clarify a bit more please? Do you mean style or brands?

[@alexanderktn]

Have you ever tried Amouage Journey Man? It's not the typical incense-heavy Amouage but has an absolutely gorgeous and luxurious drydown.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

I have indeed and I am going to soon get a FB. I would also highly recommend Sunshine Man and Honour Man both are magical in their own sort of way :) and Gold is absolutely above all of them but a tiny bit animalic.

[@alexanderktn]

@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews Very nice! I had Honour and Gold, but I only tried Beach Hut Man from Amouage's Midnight Flower collection and a full bottle is on its way to me - it seems like a very nice and inoffensive office smell to me. I'll definitely have to sample Sunshine (and Bracken).

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Nice one Alexander, I have reviewed Beach Hut and it was OK to me, Imitation was more fun and I have reviewed that as well do check it out when you have a moment. The big surprise was Opus II which I have reviewed as well and I am going to get an FB of that. Looks like we share the love for Amouages :)

Khaleel I mostly buy from Notino or reputed ebay sellers. Which country are you based in ?

[@homeaway0]

By the way epic women is a magnificent fragrance. It can be unisex in my opinion.

Thanks for the tip my friend , I am thinking of sampling Amouage Dia for women so might as well sample epic for women. Dia for women I hear is quite something, have you tried it?

Sir the style.. I’m not much into western..

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Ok fair enough :). If you like attars the try Abdul karim al faransi , they are Uk based and easy on the pocket. if money is not an object and you can spare a bit more then you could look at Sultan Pasha, Arabian Oud, Ensaar and profumo.it are great choices. Genuine middle eastern perfumery will be quite expensive! if you get a chance visit Dubai and have a shop around and if you cant go into the city shop at the airport while on your way to any destination east or west :). Its an experience shopping fragrances at the Dubai Airport :).
