10 of My Holy Grail Fragrances For Beginners (2024 pt. 2)

[@Frank-DuxVanDamme]

I was grabbing almost everything in early days. Find Justin's channel,sold almost everything, started with few left. Now I'm - top of the world mom! Didn't expect Montabacco intensivo to see in this video. By some weird situation it came in my view. After testing I was blown away. Now it's my signature scent.

[@MuddyGreenMonster]

My No.1's in your categories - Dumb Reach = Acqua Di Parma Colonial Essenza, Work = Guerlain Vetiver Parfum, Relax = Dior Ambre Nuit, Casual Day = Creed Green Irish Tweed, Casual Night = Xerjoff Starlight, Date Night = MFK Grand Soir, Formal = Xerjoff Richwood, Stand Out = Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur, Guilty Pleasure = Not Guilty, Anti Fragrance = Molecule 01.

[@heermansdisability]

Essenza is so good. Nice list. Vetiver parfum is killer too.

[@martinlauterbach8078]

Thank you - not only for this mini series. You helped to provide many shortcuts in my not so long "fragrance journey" by offering good starting points and encouriging own research.

[@stayfreshproductions]

You are so welcome!

[@scherodB]

Never heard a fragrance reviewer use the word “membrane”… much less with such fluidity. The EXEMPLARY diction keeps me around for sure 🙂‍↕️

[@thececman]

I’ve had a Hammam at a spa in Puerto Rico and another in Florida. Highly recommended and luxurious!

[@AllenCaceres]

I was looking to start my collection... Reflection Man was my 1 purchase. After purchasing it I saw a video, Justin said that Reflection man made him feel a certain way... and that moved me.since then I appreciate Justin and his perspective about a fragrance

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you!

[@lattie84]

I appreciate the advice you provide. I was in the same spot when I was trying to start my collection. Your videos have helped me open my eyes outside of designer/mass fragrance. Thank you!

[@stayfreshproductions]

You are so welcome!

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day

[@CroatianSensation213]

Singulier is fantastic, hugely underrated

[@josueflores7152]

Very interested in the an it fragrance pick!!! Since the short you made on the fragrance and reading the comments from people who know what the name means and I've been wanting to try it! I appreciate you Justin for highlighting thse fragrances

[@dahnyul]

B roll and edits were wonderful! Great video. Have not tried all of these, but have tried the Brioni one, and I totally agree with that categorization- spot on. Also, thank you for using "significant other," it allows all of us/ me to fit ourselves/ myself into those moments. Much appreciated.

[@scentanity2280]

I like the list. It's interesting. Most interesting ones to me are the Narciso Rodriguez, Boucheron and the Regalier Hammam! Thanks a lot, J. C.

[@TheLorenco94]

Still Life in Rio is an absolutely underrated fragrance! One of my favourites and for me 10/10 because I feel like summer wearing it

[@TheSlyfoxgame]

how long does it last and how well does it project?

[@joshuaesposito5409]

Great structure to the video. Completely relative and informative, this is the kind of information the community needs. Let’s do one for intermediate frag heads now. Let’s get down and dirty with the selection. Love your work From Australia

[@stayfreshproductions]

Much appreciated Joshua 🙏🏾

Thank you

[@wagstaff6135]

Good list, nice presentation again. (If I say I miss the trumpet, please know it's a compliment and not a complaint!). I like the Ormonde Jayne quite a bit, and it's gotten a fair amount of KZbin hype; I think my favorite from the line remains Ormonde Man. You definitely have me interested in the Loumari.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you! Been considering bringing it back somehow.

[@alejandroperez9500]

Thank you for highlighting Bon Parfumeur. That house is not talked about enough!!

[@stayfreshproductions]

You are so welcome!

[@icajeje]

Omg i love love loooove your reviews!!! In love

[@stayfreshproductions]

Yay! Thank you!

Saja is phenomenal

[@PharaohLawLess1]

Stay Fresh Productions Baby!!!

[@mohamednayad]

Justin you have a great sense of timing man ! 🕜 ⚡I just bought Bon Parfumeur 803 an hour ago just before you uploaded this video !!!

[@simply_psi]

You won't regret it, Iove 803 and now have 9 Bon Perfumeur fragrances and I'm still impressed with the quality of ingredients for the cost. They are minimal in the packaging compared to houses like Xerjoff and Bond No9 but as I dump the packaging as soon as I get the fragrances It doesn't matter to me.

[@tom_schroeder]

I recently picked up Montabaco Intensivo, and it’s just as you describe it. Has that airy Geza Schoen molecular aromatic approach that is the hallmark of his style. Although it came out in 2013, I think it will prove to be a timeless classic. The four new Brioni releases since 2021 have been perfumed by the brilliant Michel Almairac, plus his protege Karina Vinchon Spehner for Brioni Intense. I am a huge fan of both perfumers, and all four fragrances are excellent and reasonably priced. Guidance 46-I love my sample of Guidance and want a bottle of 46. But that price! I once sprayed a single spray of Guidance on the back of my neck, and our couch smelled of it for days. It also overwhelms my wife’s sensitive nose, so I would have to wear it when she is on travel. 😂 It’s a gorgeous floral scent, but would not work in an office setting, especially in a conference room where people sensitive to perfume could not escape.

[@stayfreshproductions]

It’s so strong!

[@thececman]

Excellent Presentation! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you kindly!

[@Ceko]

Great video, and great tip about the decants. For the first time I just bought 9 decants. That saved me 100’s of bucks! Not every frag is for you, even though it get so much love on the internet.

[@burner27]

Getting to a sample of Ombre de Merveilles today. I could really see this becoming a go to in the future.

[@Regie.C]

I have to agree with you on this, and somehow makes me want to sell the fragrances I got solely from hype and slowly grew out of it a few months after. A part of the reason is that I have found my favorite scent profile and or notes namely: ones with musk, resins, and vetiver heavy ones.

[@theriut6231]

Hey Justin, just wondering, is the Weekly Rotation discontinued as a shorts format? I loved those short recaps and was looking forward to them.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Taking a break! The overall reception here on KZbin was not as good as I hoped

[@sergemann5951]

Brioni EDP is a great all around. Fall winter scent.

[@MarvOtokiti]

Look at the passion in Justin's eye when speaking about Guidance 46😂😂😂. Now i need to sample it.😢

[@stayfreshproductions]

😆

[@nateriley4067]

I liked your choice of Anti-Fragrance brands in Regalien, I had a sample of theirs for a different fragrance, Marrakesh, thrown in with a purchase once. I never tried the sample because I never knew anything about the brand, but now I do. And looking Marrakesh up on Parfumo, I see that it has an 8.6 rating, so it’ll be tomorrow’s SOTD. And Montabaco Intensivo is fantastic! Be well, Cope.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you Nate!

[@simply_psi]

Some great advice and some lovely fragrances l, Bon Perfumeur 803 is a fantastic fragrances and as with all their scents I don't know how they canndo it for the money they charge. I'm a big Ormand Jayne fan and Montabaco Intensivo is probably my favourite scent from the house. My anti-fragrance would be, Juliette Has a Gun, This is not a Perfume it just makes my skin feel soft and smell great, clean fresh but with my natural skin scent boosted to 11, it is more of an uplifting feeling than a scent.

[@tomic6632]

If I may I would recommend 901 and 902 from bon parfumeur, really impressive 👌

[@Matt-lv5sp]

mont tobacco intensivo to me gives off a niche version of Dior homme sport

[@kinmonon4677]

Got gifted NR Vetiver Musc few week ago and it strangely reminded me of MFK Lhome Ala Rose, its kinda spicy green woody that tickle my nose when i first got it, now it just feel comfy wearing it while I'm working. maybe its the spicy musk that make me feel comfortably clean.

[@ahmaddoshan845]

Saja by Loumari for a beginner is a wild take. Maydan by Loumari on the other hand is a definite yes

[@stayfreshproductions]

😉

[@ryanepps771]

Yessir. I like the shirt

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you

[@nykia007]

I made the mistake of grabbing all the overhyped fragrances when I started my collection too and have been trying to refine it to my own taste. It's been difficult... Sigh

[@stayfreshproductions]

I get it!

[@edgardozara97]

Regalien Hammam is in my shortlist but unfortunately havent really blind bought it after other Soap accord based perfume i previously bought has somewhat disappointed me. With Hammam making your list, it might make me reconsider. Thanks JC Also, i chose Still Life over the flanker (in Rio) as i wanted the fragrance that showcases Yuzu

[@stayfreshproductions]

Definitely sample first if you can!

[@edgardozara97]

@@stayfreshproductions i know. But if your review entices me, id blind buy already. Thats how i got ganymede so thats how ill operate with you every single time. Im that confident that my interest and your review is enough :)

[@izwadiali6840]

Justin !! Great video once again.. I have suscribe to your channel, very informative.. Loumari Paris really piqued my interest..

Awesome, thank you!

I would love to see a video where you "rank" (talk about) your Argos Fragrances. I just got the full discovery set today, and man... don't know where to start!

[@stayfreshproductions]

Great idea!

[@ōyissss]

I tried Still Life In Rio this past week, unfortunately it didn’t click with me like it has for you. That’s why we sample first when we can!

[@stayfreshproductions]

That’s right!

[@greggraham9785]

What is going on Justin, I love Brioni Intense, I just ran out Time to order another one ❤😂. Stay safe brother SOTD LOUIS VUITTON IMAGINATION

[@regalbeagle2321]

Hamman really piques my interest! I have to check it out. Try to also pick up "Dem" for us, in that Ottoman Bath Ritual line.

[@Wavy_Potts]

It's dope you've tried something else from loymari that's not Porthole lol.. Have you tried Almeria?

[@stayfreshproductions]

I haven’t tried that one!

[@Wavy_Potts]

@stayfreshproductions oh ok.. the note breakdown looks excellent!

[@cuttingedgevintage]

OJ montobacco intensivo smelled like someone smoked a cigarette and sprayed air freshener. I tried it twice and same thing. That’s one I didn’t vibe with, sample first for sure.

[@mariuszel759]

Got myself two bottles last weekend: Prada l'homme Dior Sauvage edp Whats your take on them?

[@stayfreshproductions]

Both are good versatile scents

[@sergemann5951]

Hindside is 20 20 but lets face it. Anyone who has a nose and has a chanel and a following recommends a series of colognes. We as followers will accept as "be all end all" and go and buy them. Pretty soon I realized my taste is not the same as others. Example: I love "Soul" from Costume National. No one around me or collectors like that. I hate it when they say "10 fragragraces All women or men love" As if we all like the same food, or the color or SMELL. Well said on your recommendation but the list is just hard to find. Unless they find you and send to you directly.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Not sure I understand.

I don’t know why we refer to fragrances as “panty droppers” it’s incredibly trashy and distasteful.
