We Brooklynites know that Sebastian is The Professor of Perfumes, hence the name Purfume Guy🧢

[@ToTheWind]

Dior Homme Parfum is the greatest fragrance of the 21st century (so far). And it towers above others in the niche realm.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Heck yes. The 75ml version was better but this version is still great! :)

[@Михаил-ц2ы4ь]

I only bought myself dior homme intense and it just doesn’t project, it projects only for 10-15 minutes, literally no one can hear it😢

Sebastian, my favorite guy! You expanded my understanding, consciousness and consumption of fragrances, more than you’ll ever know.

[@tspencer661]

So glad you mentioned Loumari Porthole. I got to sample it in your scent club kit. It’s so good.

[@funeka691]

Since I've been watching your videos regularly, I've actually checked for the availability of Dior Homme Parfum. It's actually still available at all the regular fragrance retailers in Dubai.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

You know what I'm going to be in Dubai soon for Beautyworld Middle East. I might have to pick up a few here and there! Ha! :)

[@shave-a-thon3415]

My friend found it at duty free shops in Austria and Italy.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I got a bottle from FragranceBuy

[@J_M_E_83]

It's definitely worth doing a list for the discontinued fragrances. Many of your viewers 'myself included' have been into fragrances for many years and would love to see our favourites on video. I have been collecting on and off since early 2000s. Most of my favourites are discontinued, and its a shame you never see them talked about. Great video and keep up the good work Sebastian ❤

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I do a ton of videos on discontinued fragrances as evidenced here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoGqYpuCZZeKhc0 in case you haven't watched any of these. But I have another one cooking stay tuned for that one soon! :)

[@J_M_E_83]

@ThePerfumeGuy Yay i always love the videos on old gems 🙂

[@flump0]

I got a decant of Psychedelique earlier this month, wore it once and bought a bottle at the end of the day. I love love love it. I can smell it all day and it is truly an amazing patchouli fragrance.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Very nice!

Interesting list several perfumes are new to me cannot wait to try them especially Jardin de misfah and Nasomato My favorite are - teint de neige - Musc revegure - Feve delecieuse💘 - VCA Ambre imperial

[@scottb2749]

Perhaps a discontinued list and include a closest alternative?

[@K_Reezee75]

Nishane Ambra Calabria is an underrated gem. Definitely a Nishane fragrance that gets overlooked. Compliment getter also. More versatile than expected because of the fresh notes but the performance is way above average for me.

[@radeque]

I've done a 180 on Sadonaso after wearing it the other day. Yes the opening is pissy, but after a couple of hours it's heavenly

[@iwannaseethereceipts]

I've been wanting to try some more niche scents, but i definitely have my designer favorites. 1) Dior Vanilla Diorama is the best true vanilla scent I've ever smelled 2) Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille 3) Tom Ford Tuscan Leather (I wear TF together) 4) YSL L'Homme, just bought it as my everyday fragrance; it smells really good on me 5) Mugler Alien Goddess, it smells like flowers from another planet

[@Big-BU]

My Top 10 I couldn’t live without… 1. Nasomatto Black Afgano 2. Xerjoff 1888 3. Frederic Malle POAL 4. Xerjoff Mefisto Gentiluomo 5. Frank Boclet Cocaine 6. Roja Turandot 7. Nishane Papilefiko 8. Nasomatto Fantomas 9. Killian Straight To Heaven 10. Roja Elysium Pour Homme Parfum

[@jennifercamay]

I'm so glad I finally got a bottle of Benjoin Boheme in the old bottle. Was on a waitlist for almost a year. The new bottle is just like Eau Rihla...

[@kensears5099]

I am honored that a relative newcomer like me (three years?) has at least one of your can't-live-without fragrances, and I couldn't agree more--it's utterly transporting: Oriza L. LeGrand Chypre Mousse. It's like an invasion from a different, magical world. I think it's what a forest in Tolkien's Middle Earth must smell like. Or perhaps a perfume made by the Wood Elves.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

You are so right. I agree. It's such a mystical, magical fragrance. I love it.

[@phyllisiervello]

Sebastian, what a great video! I feel much better about not being able to buy any new perfumes now that I know that I own 17 perfumes from your list.

[@AMCTX]

Love this list - I’ve been introduced to so many of them because of you/your enthusiasm for them and many are now some of my favorites as well. Wishing you could do a Scent Club Kit of 3 mls or 5mls of all of these. Thanks for sharing!

Great group! Portrait is my signature along with CDG's Avignon and Nasomatto's Black Afghano. Now I will try Sadonaso!

[@highoctanehome]

Great video! If you had to choose between Porthole or Dolce Melodia Sospiro, which would it be?

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Usually go for the more potent fragz so Dolce Melodia first then Porthole. But both are great! :)

[@sovndscvpe]

I'm with you on Psychedelique, Sebastien. I love patchouli and tried it thanks to your recommendation and I definitely can't live without it. Same with Ambra Calabria, an overlooked Nishane gem. :) the others for me I would say Egé, BR540, Hacivat, and Rosendo Mateu No. 5

FILLE EN AIGUILLES is in my ALL time Top Ten: own two vintage bottles ❤

[@WilliamMiller-nr5gb]

Mine, too! It's incredibly beautiful.

[@watchenthusiatstradersPakistan]

A super duper list really,,, almost all of these are my favourites as well and the best overall 👍👍

[@JT-rx1eo]

Well, a few of them I could add to my "can't live without" list. Fille en Aiguilles. And by the way, Fille en Aiguilles is discontinued. Over $400 per bottle on ebay. Tobacco Vanille. Rouge Saray is OK, but if I were to add something with dates and spices, it would probably be Serge Lutens Arabie. Jardins de Misfah didn't do it for me. It smelled weird, and the date note was missing in action. And Ive not yet tried Porthole, but it sounds so intriguing that I just bought a decant to try.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

No it's not. I just saw it selling at Harrods. I asked Serge Lutens boutique in March and they said they have short stock currently but it wasn't discontinued! Plus it's on the SL website so it's not discontinued. I knew they had a shortage of it but it's back to normal now! BUT IT'S AMAZING!! :)

I also have Dior Homme parfum, Ambra calabria and Vanagloria from your list and some of the others are on my wishlist. I don't have a big collection, but from the ones I have I would probably repurchase ( and some of them I've already bought 2-3 times ): Nuda veritas, Save me by Xerjoff, Santal austral, Iris malikhan, Hundred silent ways and Mojave ghost. And for him Oud for greatness. Thank you for the video!

[@prreettz]

I am going to purchase DHP, Is it worth?

[@tabacarudelia8502]

@@prreettz For me, it is because I like more masculine and woody fragrances and if it has leather in it, then I'm sold. It is quite intense and very sexy, but my advice is to sample it first if you can.

I thought Fille en Aguilles was discontinued? It took me forever to find a decant and I finally found a 5ml on eBay; I hoard it just to wear around the holidays & rare cold weather here. Anyway I would love to see a discontinued top 21 must have list too! I vote yes. There are always ways to seek them out (as long as they are not supremely unattainable)

Lovely Sebastian. One for the cognoscenti

[@Adam_StefaniakSaltea_Moonspell]

In the past of three years I have collected over 25 different frags, niche and designer, and I have to say that DHP is out of the league. Call me crazy but during my last inventory I accounted for eight sealed bottles I managed to pick up during past three years or so, not to counting the open two I have. The 75ml version is currently listed around 200 USD, and I for me the price does not justify the juice.

I'd add Dior Homme Intense next to Dior Homme Parfum. DHP for me is clearly not just a stronger DHI. Ultimately both are rather different, but both equally masterful for me. DHI by the way is again currently ranked as no. 1 for men on Parfumo, while DHP is at no. 15. Nice to see two Tom Ford fragrances in this list, specially Tobacco Vanille. Still haven't been able to even smell Tobacco Oud, unfortunately :( Interestingly you included the Tom Ford's, and the Caron tobacco fragrance, while keeping Herod and Carlisle (in fact all PdMs) out of this list :) I have smelled Ursa and so far not captivated by it. One I would have added instead: Memo Paris African Leather.
