10 Niche Fragrances I'm Wearing The CRAP Out of In Summer 2024.

[@vlxxrd4866]

L'humaniste is so elegant and classy. If I'm going out to brunch, or a lunch date with a lady friend, this is my go to in Summer. It is just so gorgeous

[@carlosphillips3]

I find that one not appealing at all... maybe I need to try it again

[@kushtrimgashi2743]

I love that you don't follow the crowd and actually present us with fragrances that are under the radar and not mainstream. Although there are mainstream fragrances that are really good, it just gets redundant when fragrance reviewers keep talking about the same mainstream fragrances every single video.

[@stayfreshproductions]

I appreciate that!

[@jlehm]

Original Vetiver is an amazing fresh, clean scent. One of my favorite. Super uplifting and comforting.

[@mohamednayad]

Xerjoff Renaissance is pure class 😍 I've got my bottle last month and I'm really enjoying it , personally I would also add 3 of my latest discoveries as honorable mentions in this list : 1. Pour Un Homme de Caron Le Matin Caron (a beautiful modern citrus fougère and pretty affordable for a niche brand) 2. MFK Amyris Pour Homme EDT (this one is my favorite this summer) 3. Prada Infusion Iris Cèdre (soapy but not too powdery a beautiful mix between mandarine , cedarwood with Iris and benzoine as supporting note)

[@MrSmarts34]

Finally gave into the hype after almost 4 years in and tried Renaissance. Definitely worth the hype. If you like that minty lemony citrus and a slightly sweet barbershop style, Casamorati Fiero is amazingly vibrant, bright, clean and refreshing

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thanks for sharing!

[@drew8603]

Summer fragrances are always a big challenge for me. I love fragrances that suit my personality, which is quiet, introverted, contemplative, and sad. So bright citruses or fruity scents tend to clash with that. I do like the vetiver options, but they still don't really move me all that much.

[@scherodB]

I struggle with finding a summer scent with a “signature” feel as well. Living in the Deep South, there isn’t a lot of cool weather either unfortunately 😅

[@YankeeFlamee]

You need to balance that sad feeling out with something more vibrant. Maybe not super fruity and citrusy but try to go with a smoky woody fresh scent Or resinous. I’ll give Dior Homme a try if I were you.

[@MOB29]

@@scherodBI too live in the Deep South and Armaf club de nuit limited edition does it for me.. long lasting great sillage and a ton of respectable compliments from co workers

[@scherodB]

@@MOB29 ok! I’ve tried Aventus and its flankers but not club de nuit yet, I’ll have to grab a bottle. Recently got Armaf Preciux which is a way darker, heavier take but definitely not one for that southern heat

[@MOB29]

[@miamiballin305]

I have Original Vetiver F batch with metal cap and the performance is awesome, lasts all day long on me. Highly recommend checking out an F batch. Great choices overall! Best reviewer around!!

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you!

[@Kev561_]

Really enjoy you talking about Creed Vetiver. I wore it for awhile a lot. There is something about it I find so soothing and calming. One of few fragrances I could spray very heavy and truly enjoy!

[@stayfreshproductions]

It's so good!

[@ohfour-seven6228]

I'd love to see a designer version of this video, even if you don't get 1200 likes! The Cipresso di Toscana sounds like something made for me, I'll be checking it out. And thanks for your recommendation for Renaissance, I picked it up and love it. Xerjoff's Decas is also a favorite for summer wear for me. You've presented a lot of great options to check out!

[@stayfreshproductions]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@Matt-lv5sp]

I own the original blue agave and it’s really growing on me this summer it wears almost flirty fresh if that makes sense. Perfect for high heat casual as well as the gym.

[@AllenCaceres]

L'Humaniste is an amazing summer fragrance. It is my signature banger. Followed by Renaissance. 8 live in Miami, and I wear them both alternating days.

[@slavkobojic3004]

Im moving to Clearwater, please give me some suggestions for Florida heat and humidity

I’ve talked about it so much over the past 4 years, not trying to bore you guys too much! But that being said, I did just feature it in this short video last week: kzbin.infoeLGuudLG5gM?feature=share

[@denismirkovic3173]

Thanks for the info on Isola blu, didn’t know that

[@Ulvaeus]

Love Creed Original Vetiver. For fragrances in a similar vein, I suggest also trying Penhaligon’s Impudent Cousin Matthew, Berdoues Selva Do Brazil, The Different Company’s Tokyo Bloom, and of course, Mugler Cologne Come Together.

[@stevebachman9076]

My top summer frags: Nishane Wulong Cha Xerjoff Torino21 Creed Aventus Cologne Sospiro Vibrato LV Imagination (I know it’s not niche 🙄) Roja Oligarch Parfum (Just acquired) ❤ Creed Jardin D’Amalfi

[@Thats-Mr.Cat-to-you]

Renaissance is absolutely spectacular. It is always in heavy rotation in the warm weather and is one of my all-time favorites.

[@Dologaming24]

L’Humaniste Is one of the absolute best when purely talking scent, freshness and sharpness. It simply smells great. Along with Wulong Cha, they’re two of the best smelling warm weather fragrances I’ve tried. Also loving Nio from Xerjoff right now. Maybe my next full bottle purchase. Would love a designer list btw.

[@bluefish8143]

I agree, but performance is so bad 😢

[@AZK82]

I had the same problem with L'hummaniste but My bottle masurate very fast. Its much better now❤

[@Dologaming24]

[@Dologaming24]

@@bluefish8143 performance Is lackluster, but that only matters when considering weather and how long you need It to perform for you that day.

[@Nick-bz5xv]

YES! It was awesome seeing Ormonde Jayne's Montabaco Intensivo make the list! One of my absolute favorite scents, for all seasons, really, but I find it really pushes in the Summer heat, as well. I'm slightly embarrassed to admit I haven't tried Renaissance yet, despite having sampled at least half a dozen Xerjoff fragrances (and I keep habit-buying Naxos); I definitely need to remedy that ASAP. As a side note, I thought the intro was hilariously appropriate considering the almost guarantee that someone in the comments would bring a, "None of these have CRAP in them! How could you say that about XYZ-fragrance??" XD Thank you for another fun, informative video highlighting some less talked about fragrances!

[@stayfreshproductions]

Haha thank you Nick!!

[@Strictlybusiness79]

L’humaniste is perfect! Not loud or in your face. Gets a lot of flack for longevity but I think it’s perfect because if I put on in A.M. by evening I can put on something different without having to scrub it off. Exactly what I want from a daytime summer fragrance

[@cruztube23]

Rennaisance is so good! I wore it last summer during vacation and that's where this smell gets me back to: Vacation by the Mediterranean Coast. Now this might sound funny to someone but Justin will understand: This fragrance makes me wanna wear an untied linen shirt, bermudas and moccasins, have an espresso while reading newspapers at a beach bar. 🤣 Italian vibes

[@stayfreshproductions]

Awesome!

[@danielomeara6317]

Creed Original Vetiver is my go to I’m summer . Addicted 😂

[@GaryBlessington]

How does it compare to Guerlain Vetiver?

[@actorscrib5932]

Vetiver guerlaine is fab . Wore for 25 years unwaveringly. To me it’s not as potent as it was in the 80s and 90s . I’ll always have a soft spot for it

[@adrianpapaki]

great vid, excited to see the designer version!

[@Juan-O24]

Great list! I think original vetiver is become my favorite creed fragrance it’s not complex whatsoever but it puts me in a great mood.

[@jeremiahpauling7398]

I bought a sample of Cipresso di Toscana earlier this year and I really loved the opening, but not the dry down. I went back to revisit it after watching this video. And I got to say, I have a new appreciation for it. The woods and the lavender give me Sauvage Elixir vibes, but toned down. I think over time I've gained a huge love for patchouli and vetiver and that is what drew me in to enjoy this the second time around. 👍🏾

[@stayfreshproductions]

So glad to hear it

[@sorv5790]

Love Colonia Nobile and Celeste from Giardini. It's a shame Bianco Latte gets all the love, it's good but the house has a lot more to offer (Christos for Amouage fans!). As for Original Vetiver, my batch doesn't last but I love it, it's such a refreshing scent.

[@TheFeintOfHearts]

Been absolutely loving Acqua di Parma’s Colonia Club this summer. It’s been surprisingly detectable in the high heat even after many hours (and lots of sweat)

[@davidlandrum]

I’m half way on my bottle of Montabaco. It reminds me of how casinos used to smell like. Fresh dry tobacco.

[@JohnQuickWick]

I like LV Pacific Chill, Acqua Di Parma Colonia Essenza, Fico di Malfi, and JPG Paradise Garden for the summer. I'll even throw on Oud For Greatness Neo or Side Effect if I'm inside where it's air conditioned.

[@robertswitzer3630]

LOVE Original Vetiver!

[@--------RR007----------]

Renaissance was one of my favorite fragrances and then one day I realized it smelled like the orange jelly beans from Brach. Not Jelly Belly brand, Brachs. And I could never un-smell that cheap orangy candy smell and I sold my bottle. :(

[@donly8408]

I just received a decant of Frapin L'humaniste extreme. It's very nice, but the original is better.

[@jorgedominguez6075]

It is great to see your preferences, please a designer version would be great!!!😊. Best regards?

[@stayfreshproductions]

Coming soon!

[@abelcano3723]

I love L’humaniste! I bought Eau Givree and don’t care for it much and L’Humaniste is exactly what I was looking for.

[@melvinclarke3940]

[@jodee8831]

I have a hard time with summer frags, as all my fav scents are cold weather appropriate... I ordered a bottle of Roja Elysium.. so looking forward to that... and I found a 50ml bottle of Acqua di Parma Essenza for $30.. so that was a good find

[@l-mac5105]

I own several from Clive Christian. I don’t own T&C but I have sampled it. It has an amazing opening and mid, but it turns into a chemical mess in the dry down. It has this sharp off putting chemical smell to my nose.

[@burner27]

Summer rotation: Eau so Fraiche, L'immensite, Afternoon Swim, Pacific Chill, Tygar, Erolfa, Millesime Imperial, Aventus Cologne, Viking Cologne, Nio, Torino 22, and Brass and Soul.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Great choices bro!

[@highoctanehome]

Love your list! Please do a designer version. Have you tried Frederic Malle’s Music for a While? Love this quality, tropical and playful modern fougere!

[@stayfreshproductions]

I have! Great scent!

[@jts4248]

I just got my bottle yesterday roja elysium so good. I'm getting ready to order Isola Blu so good. I just wish they would have a bigger bottle than 1.7 lol

[@bartoltolic]

Town & Country is beautiful but not €450 (~$440) beautiful. Shame it’s so expensive otherwise I would go for a full bottle. I have small 2ml tester for this summer and I’m saving it for a special occasion if I’m gonna go out for a fancy dinner or something like that

[@ribeiro143]

It is currently for $274 on Jomashop only issue is it says ships in 2-3 weeks . I have ordered multiple times on Jomashop with no issue . Only thing is make sure the product says “ ready to ship “ or “ in stock “ . If it does not say it can take a few weeks to get it

You are my second favorite reviewer! Right after the Niche Fragrance Collector!

[@richardsmart5010]

Hey man ; it’s me again . This is where we started this conversation. I sampled a few, but Pasha de Cartier parfum is my favorite, the noir parfum threw me , I have let it sit and it seems to have mellowed, at least in the air, on the skin I get sour note , I like the edp .✌️smart

I understand! I hope it changes for you!

[@leonardocisneros3626]

Hello. As tequila lover 😉, this Blue agave was appealing me and I'm fortunate to got a decant recently. So testing it today. Not really sure a first choice for me, but I'll try a little bit more. Thanks for your list, looking forward to try others

[@mrrob4590]

Awesome list gave you my thumbs up in support . I love creed’s original vetiver despite a lot of people downvoting it over the years. This summer I’ve been Turing to Louis Vuitton sur la route MDCI Le barbiere de tangiers nio Bvlgari Malekeos and Prada lhomme leau. Still looking forward to wearing afternoon swim and habit rouge edt.

Really nice fragances man. My summer rotation for 2024 is MFK GFS & Homme a la rose, Acqua di Parma Essenza & Fico di Amalfi, TF Grey Vetiver, Terre D'Hermes Edt, Chanel AH Edition Blanche, Roger & Gallet Feuille de The, Kenzo Homme Edp & Kenzo Homme Marine

[@stayfreshproductions]

Nice!!

[@christopherurrutia8037]

Love Creed's "Original Vetiver" I get more scent in the heat. I have friends who don't like fragrances who love the smell of Original Vetiver when I am wearing it. It's lasted me a whole day especially in the desert heat.

Very qualitative video , Justin ! Oligarch/Izola blu is my top favorite from Roja and maybe top ten Fragrance of all time. Not a fan of Renaissance . Looking forward to try Blue Agave and Zaharoff's signature Bloom. Montabacco intensivo is nice but not something groundbreaking IMO.

Not that you mentioned it.. but I found a bottle of Creed Green Valley. It costs $3,400 for a 120ml bottle though lol Jeez

[@stayfreshproductions]

Wow!

[@edgardozara97]

Love Blue Agave but would really love to try the concentration you have with you. I am a believer that some elements will be lost whenever performance is enhanced so id love to confirm if the freshness of the 50ml is somewhat retained in the 75ml limited edition bottle

Question- assuming I’ll like them equally, which purchase offers better value for similar money? Combination of Oud Malaki and Guerlain Homme EDP Or Eight & Bob Egypt Or Atelier Des Ors Lune Feline Really appreciate the advice, love today’s video!

[@stayfreshproductions]

Interesting question! “Value” is not something I can determine for anyone else! It all depends on why you’re considering buying these fragrances. Your why, being how they fit into your current collection, in what occasions you plan to use them for, and the fact that you’ll hopefully really like them, will dictate their value to you. My value cannot necessarily be yours! Plus, these fragrances are all quite different from each other, so they can’t easily be compared to one another. Thus, with the added parameter that you’ll hypothetically like them all equally, I can’t choose any one of them over any other one of them-meaning that you can’t go wrong with any choice. 😉

[@fr3ddy653]

Really loved oligarch when i had a sample off it, but isola bli just dont give me the same feeling. The only fragrance that gives me the same feeling as oligarch is basso from sospiro
