When does the draw end?

[@ashleydiaz1242]

This video was sooo very helpful. As a woman who loves fragrance but doesn’t know much about it - this video was a treat. I’ve noted a few of these scents in hopes of testing them out! Thank you both

[@evankro]

Looks like the form isn't open to the public as of right now. I'm interested in applying to the contest though 😀

[@fragitude]

Form says "You need permission" and is not available.

[@garypierce7380]

I only want to be in the contest if I can be the winner. I'm tired of being in contests where I'm one of the many losers.

[@BaldassarreFragrance]

It should be working now: forms.gle/aFm85YbdPYeH2T4MA

@@BaldassarreFragrance thank you! Submitted.

[@DvnBsr]

I have not had the opportunity to try any of the Acqua Di Parma fragrances. I love the classic Italian style of scents! Thank you for all of the great recommendations

[@saulhernandez1953]

Mancera is my favorite house I have 13 so far also pdm are good too.

[@rav8648]

I like how the lady presenter expresses with gestures towards the camera while also looking at the other presenter as he is talking in balanced way. Very natural, as if viewer was just another person in room they were talking to. So many other presenters struggle with this and come off awkward.

[@FIslickpro]

My 1st niche fragrance was a decant of Aventus. 1stFull bottle niche fragrance was Layton

[@Alithia451]

Some surprising picks for a multi channel couple. I would have also included Xerjoff.

[@JT-rx1eo]

Saint Julep is one of the two Imaginary Authors frags I decided to buy full bottle (Yesterday Haze is the other) after surveying the house's samples. Saint Julep is a nice, fresh, springtime light mint unisex frag. It's inspiration is the traditional southern drink - the unofficial drink of the Kentucky derby the Mint Julep.

[@bobarvianto5550]

Hows the performance?

[@JT-rx1eo]

@@bobarvianto5550 Saint Julep, truthfully not the best performance. But mint is one of the most volatile notes. Yesterday Haze performance is better.

[@TracyFSU32306]

Saint Julip has my attention! Must try. Thank you for the excellent reviews.

[@hakanustun8041]

You're always making very informative and creative videos for perfume enthusiasts. This is also a nice list for niche beginners. May I add one, Amouage-Reflection Man.

[@BaldassarreFragrance]

Great fragrance. We were hesitant to mention Amouage since they are not the easiest to wear. Reflection Man is among their more wearable scents though for those looking to get started with the brand.

[@KylerBorn]

Hacivat is excellent. It's a must own for me

[@corinalymburner1121]

Awesome, thanks for sharing this intro to Niche frags!

[@chipclip5019]

I dont think that they've ever smelled intense cafe because the coffee note is almost the lightest note in there and its only noticeable in the opening. Its mainly a rose and vanilla fragrance

[@LeprechaunSeeker]

Great recommendations as usual. From all these I started with Cedrat Boise...which I didn't really like at first(being only used to freshies) but I gave it a chance and smelled it again after 2-3 days...now I can't imagine not having this in my small collection. Choosing the fragrances for the contest was great fun, really enjoyed that. Good luck to everyone and have a great rest of the day!

[@thecuttinggardener361]

Creed’s Love In Black was my gateway fragrance into the niche world. My husband’s all time favorite fragrance from my collection is Bull’s Blood by Imaginary Authors. It is a dirty rose and patchouli with a bloody, metallic note. It’s soooo sexy. Really like the Imaginary Authors.

[@tommyhofer1176]

bull’s blood has the lowest rating I’ve seen on fragrantica lol. Fragrance is subjective though

[@thecuttinggardener361]

@@tommyhofer1176 it has a pretty strong animalic note that is definitely not for people who like clean scents. I love it, but I like animalic accords.

[@tommyhofer1176]

[@Brysengus]

Percival is another level 🔥👀

[@Alithia451]

... of mediocrity as the whole PdM line. Overpriced designer quality.

[@Brysengus]

@@Alithia451 i respect your opinion but like it or not this one is one of the most hyped from this house, i'm agree with you but to be fresh it has good quality and last long on my skin more than 9 hours something very difficult to see in a fresh fragrance, also reminds me the old version of Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce! Be safe.

[@NJacobs99]

looking to dive into mancera ? any unique , yet versatile , all season fragrances to check out?

[@joshkarian5379]

I think a really interesting series to do would be to do more videos where you pick a specific note (like your tobacco fragrances video) and pick your favourites, eg. Best iris / boozey / vetiver fragrances.

[@thugsy15]

Did you guys stop selling perfumes? I cant seem to find your website for fragrances.

[@OfficialBassMarine]

Parfums De Marly Percival was the first niche fragrance I bought. I like it a lot. I have the first iteration. Having smelled the newest version, I dread the day that my own runs out. Don´t get me wrong, the new version is still great, but I like the bolder, more zesty version a lot more. (But I do understand that it was a little less accessible for the mass market.) Also, debating if I´m going to buy PDM's Herod or Carlisle for the winter time.

[@RaulPerez1]

I have both Herod and Carlisle are great for the fall winter time. I find Herod more for casual or dressed up casual. Carlisle feels more dressed up suit tie or sports coat/no tie type vibe.

[@megasoid]

Good choices all....I even own a few of them. Thanks!

[@chakawhyte5753]

Poets of Berlin Blood Oranges And Virgin Island Water Those three are excellent choices and would highly recommend someone checking out

[@jackburton4484]

Can anyone help me identify a common smell in fragrance that I really dislike ? I got a sampler of cdg Kyoto incense and about 7 minutes in that smells take over :( Woman seem to often wear fragrance with this smell. Best way to describe it Would be dusty basement or dried flowers 🤔

[@mquilez01]

So difficult to choose... :D thank you!

[@carlosmagalhaes1976]

Great list!

[@johnsterthemonster9181]

You think PDM is "starter niche"?

[@muizalmutasim7751]

Are international participants qualified for the draw?

[@omgkthxbi]

the google doc isnt public :(

[@Crowzwell]

Great video, excellent fragrance recommendations. I’d love to win the shopping spree to add some of these to my collection. Thanks!

[@robertmueller5843]

Entered your contest. Would love to win. Thank you for the opportunity! Really enjoy your channel.

[@pmdr3738]

I enjoy your videos so much! Thank you and keep doing it! :) Regarding the topic of this video, I love Virgin Island Water! I had a chance to smell 5 or 6 different Creed fragrances (including Aventus, Green Irish Tweed and Royal Oud), and for me Virgin Island Water was the best by far. It is on my wishlist, for some time in the future ;)

[@GrowingDownUnder]

I just tested some of these on my channel, some of them were disappointing to say the least

[@pavelrc5028]

Form says I need permission to view it, is the giveaway over?? 😅

[@alexandereriksson4956]

To bad the performance of the PdM are horrible..

[@acevedobrooklyn]

I'm glad I'm not alone bro..

[@generatie]

Never blind buy, whoever recommends it. Get a 1 ml sample. Lovely video again

[@stephenh.8336]

Can't open the form.

[@karel4845]

I have both Vanille Abricot and Montale Sweet Vanilla. If one likes strong fragrances, you're better of with the Montale version, they are a copy of eachother and Montale's is way stronger for the same price. Also I'm a man wearing this woman fragrance because I dont care.

[@garypierce7380]

I am formally submitting my Winner Only application to the Big Frag Giveaway Contest. You can notify me here on this site about my winnings.

[@garypierce7380]

Imaginary Authors is as niche as you can get. Cobra and the Canary is about a guy finding his deceased dad's 1964 Shelby Cobra in a barn and going on a joyride. It smells like axle grease and sweet perfume. Don't over spray if you don't want to feel like sulfur is burning your eyes. Whispered Myths smells like an old oaken barrel from a shipwreck, Cambodian oud with aquatic and floral notes. Seems most of these AI unisex perfumes mix traditionally masculine and feminine notes, leaving you wondering "what the heck is that?" You won't find these on the counter.

[@detsportsfan18]

Percival is identical to Calvin Klein Eternity.

What's not to get? Great collection of fragrances since the '80's.

[@christophertrent869]

They just don’t last for that price.

[@JT-rx1eo]

@@christophertrent869 Well most of them are light "freshie" scent profiles, but even given that, some of them last, like EROLFA. And some have "sneaky" longevity, like Virgin Island Water. One of their more substantial, least thin and light scent profiles, Bois du Portugal, lasts all day.

[@christophertrent869]

@@JT-rx1eo I own a couple bottles and they are great no doubt about it but they just do not last on my skin. I find myself having to overspray. I just like a little more bang for that $400+ price tag.

[@thecuttinggardener361]

There are ones that last a long time, but they tend to be darker, less floral/fresh. Love in Black, Royal Oud, Bois du Portugal have pretty good longevity. My husband wears Taberome, and it has pretty good longevity though not as long as some of his other ones.
