5 Fragrances I Did NOT Expect To Love (Biggest Surprises)

[@PlayfulVillain]

Oud Galore, I love it. To me it's more masculine than most other Rose-Oud fragrances, but can still be worn by a lady and smell amazing on her as well. Beautiful scent. A scent I actually enjoyed recently but didn't expect to was, Paris Hilton's Gold Rush Man. Not great on longevity, but I like the scent a lot. Plus it's only $17 for 3.4oz. Great video, Justin! Stay cool, dude. I feel you on the heat, it was 107 where I live yesterday.

[@stayfreshproductions]

I agree! it smells stunning. Stay cool Eric!

[@michaelduncan4379]

Give Zaharoff's Rose' a try you may just like it.

Lacoste was made as a "tennis" scent, something that would be good on the court as well as the clubhouse. I actually wear Lacoste blanc at the gym, I have about 4 or 5 designer frags, all freshness but LB is the only one that I will wear purposely to the gym. You could bathe in it and it wouldn't offend anyone. Perfect for a 2 hour gym session.

[@stayfreshproductions]

I totally agree with you!

Found the Lacoste RG when visiting the UK , 32 British lbs ✅ I like it, , I gently sense the original edt with a touch more spice running over the gentle sweet accord. 👌 very nice

[@vazlogo5221]

Banana Republic Black Platinum 06 - Did not like it at first spray but love it now upon wearing it multiple times.

[@RonaldJapenga]

I like Chris Collins Fragrances. I've been testing out African Rooibos I really like it so far.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Great scent!

[@8KoG8]

one fragrance that surprised me a lot is ELDO Jasmine and Cigarettes. I though that it was a gimmick fragrance and that is would smell like a old , rich and stuffy grandma . I tried it just because but it is actually really nice. It smells like the name says and it's not something for every day wear but I really enjoy it. Whenever I want to put on my smoking jacket and go to a cigar bar or a high-end drinking lounge I will spritz some of it and feel like a boss. another scent that really surprised me was MFK oud silk mood, everyone raves about satin mood but almost no one talks about silk mood. But the notes seemed interesting , I tried it and I really loved it it is powerful , loud and in-charge type of scent , you need to dress this one up and you need to rock it with confidence. You will smell like a captain of industry , its a shame people ignore it . the last scent that surprised me was Ferragamo Uomo Urban feel . I had no expectations. I got it to complete the line , but it turned out to be a quite enjoyable blue scent, good performance and its affordable. Idk what it is about it but there is something about it I just like , it works for me

[@stayfreshproductions]

I've heard that one is interesting.

[@Jason-Moon]

I was blown away by Poets of Berlin by Vilhelm. It's kind of like Bond 9's Bleeker st., but more refined and subtle. It's going in my all time favorites!

[@stayfreshproductions]

Sounds fantastic!

[@victorcaceres2030]

Hey Justin. Thumbs up before you said a word. Yes two I recently picked up are Tommy Summer and Banana Republic Pure White. Thank You. Take Care.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you so much. I need to try those!

[@houseadams4841]

I picked up Cartier Declaration Parfum based on you featuring it in prior videos... I had my eyes on it for a while, but you definitely tipped the scales. Love it... Warm, wooded, balsamic... Masculine. However, do you feel it doesn’t stick around as long as you would think? I have d’Un Soir and have really solid performance with that. The Parfum isn’t bad, just not what I assumed performance would be..

[@stayfreshproductions]

It's amazing. It sticks around a good 7-8 hours on me, which I ain't mad at!

[@capakuma81]

Oudh 36 Nuit is a fragrance that I didn’t expect to love. Al Haramain sent a sample of it with one of my purchases. When I sprayed it on it was love at first sniff. I recently purchased my full bottle of it and can’t wait until the weather cools down to get some full wearing out of it. Especially, on date night. Loved the intro song btw “Beat It”

[@stayfreshproductions]

That sounds really nice!

[@11ops11]

My favorite fragrance at the moment is Zeilinsky and Rosen, Lemon Rosemary. One of the only fragrances that I get compliments on from complete strangers. Love the videos and keep up the great work!

I am going to have to get my nose on Chris Collins' Oud Galore. There are two fragrances that surprised me recently. This morning my wife put on my Navitus Oud Luxuria...OMG, I could not stop following her around the house. It smelled so good on her. I mean REALLY GOOD! The other fragrance that has been a pleasant surprise, is Perfumology's new release, Sudu Te. A very unique scent but has quickly become one of my favorites.

[@stayfreshproductions]

I hope you can try it! And Luxuria sounds really nice.

[@IndoScents]

Azzaro pour homme intense !! I love it🥰

[@aromafromheaven]

Remarkable video

[@sipes55]

Oh yeah, I've got a story: I had heard that Beau de Jour was good but I already had some pretty good fougere-style fragrances (Boucheron, Drakkar Noir, Gravitas) so I never bothered to even sample it. A few weeks ago I was exploring a new local Sephora and was pleasantly surprised to see some brands I hadn't tried yet, including Tom Ford. I saw that they had Beau de Jour so why not try it, right? Holy geez, I couldn't believe how good this stuff smells. I had to have it. Smelled Dior Homme for the first time too and decided to pick that up as well. It was a good day.

[@stayfreshproductions]

It's so good! Super classy!

[@justaddlight]

Declaration parfum was the fragrance that blasted me through the cumin barrier. Always hated the note because of its connotation, but with repeated desensitization, I really came to appreciate it as a fragrance material. Concurrently, I also became aware of the differnt grades of cardamom and how they can have the same effect. Now some cardamoms are just not doing it for me. 😄 You win some, you lose some.

[@stayfreshproductions]

It's amazing. So well-crafted!

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great topic Justin . I had a similar experience this week . A blind buy of Nasomatto Black Afgano - after ordering and then reading a lot of love hate reviews , I was convinced I had made the wrong move but oh boy was I wrong ! It is to die for … head of heels 🤸🏼 with it and I am now delving into Nasomatto more , in fact ‘Pardon’ is on its way , oooops! 🤣..

Thank you Stelios! It sure is.

[@TrephineArtist]

I was stunned by CK2 by Calvin Klein, a blind buy online. I now have a few back-ups, can't believe they discontinued this! Also Obsessed Intense for Men EDP (black bottle) - the definitive 'hidden gem' very different from the EDT, hard to find, strange as it could've been a huge hit for CK! Definitely a mystery!

[@stayfreshproductions]

Obsessed Intense is nice!

[@jerryspiegelberg8721]

Justin, if Your looking for a "fresher, brighter" Penhaligon's.... Get a sample of Penhaligon's Endymion concentre'.... I don't just get compliments I get " double-take's"..... My Better Half has pointed out this to me.... I'm just sayin' ..... Stay Blessed My Friend 😊

Dans Tes Bras by Frederic Malle... I did not know what to expect from the sample I was given when visiting Saks one day. The notes of violet and pine, or cashmeran (done poorly) don't appeal to me, typically. However, I was pleasantly surprised by this fragrance.

[@stayfreshproductions]

I've gotta try that!

[@sirsmalls4565]

Do you have a video that goes over what fragrances pair with what season?

[@stayfreshproductions]

I don't have a specific video on it, but I reference that topic in most of my videos. In general, fresher, more citrusy or aquatic fragrance are best for the heat, while sweeter, more woody, and darker fragrances in general are better for the cooler times!

Halfeti Cedar is on my must have list....I ordered it...but then received by mistake Halfeti Leather....I like the leather but wanted so badly the Cedar.....@#$%!....lol. Would love to try that Lacoste Roland Garros and I need to sample some from Chris Collins for sure. As far as my "biggest surprises" , I recently obtained the vintage Joint by RoccoBorroco....OMG....a forgotten GEM !!! Also....the original Versace L'Homme.....which I had never ever smelled....OMG...love it. And finally I have gone sort a crazy with the house of ETRO....!!!...big surprises for me....Gomma, Shal Nur, New Tradition and Etra. Have a great weekend...and "hi" to Grace !! xoxo

Soul Cafe by Chris Classic Savoir Faire. Absolute banger.

[@MFJ86]

Im a huge fan of your channel I’m a big fan from Kuwait 🇰🇼 I love the hole helfeti line. The helfeti cedar and leather are to die for. Yet the dry down of the cedar isn’t there a weird spice that like comes out and doesn’t smell so good? My most recent discovery is xerjoff wardasina. Man it’s a killer. Sometimes I wash my clothes and still find a little residue of it! and my next two to get on my list are initio high frequency and gentle fluidity this summer edition release. Please tell me about the helfeti cedar. I’ve been dying for someone with a really good nose to tell me! Love from Kuwait.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you so much Mohammad! I don't get a strange spice in the dry down on my skin...were you wearing it in the heat? I'm curious if the temperature might affect the scent in that way.

[@davidsimon2412]

Justin, I've worn hundreds of fragrances over the last 3 years, and I would classify only a handful as10's out of 10. I place Roja Fetish, Roja Enigma, Layton, and Oud Galore on that list. Of all of them, Oud Galore is my favorite, and the only one my wife considers a 10 of 10. She doesn't care for the others, and doesn't care for most of the stuff I've tried. My wife's friends have also emphatically complimented me when wearing Oud Galore. More people need to talk about Chris Collins and OG! It's a more masculine learning Rose Oud combo. Magical stuff!

[@stayfreshproductions]

I wore it tonight and it was magical.

When this video was released, and at the ripe old age of 8, if I wasn’t sneaking splashes my dad’s Canoe cologne, I was sneakily mastering the moves to Beat It. I wasn’t allowed to watch MTV, so of course I snuck it religiously, solely to get that dance down pat.
