"Creed's perfumes make abundant use of synthetic materials (see Green Irish Tweed)..." - Perfumes, Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez, p. 379

[@amehrban6775]

When I first got into fragrances I watched this video... I had an idea in my head that to get a good fragrance you have to spend at least £50 quid plus... Now that I have been in the fragrance game for a couple of months, and smelt over 100 fragrances ranging from £20 to £500 fragrances I came to this conclusion. MONEY DOES NOT MATTER, You smell nice, dress nice... you will get compliments. For E,G I get more compliments wearing a Versace Fragrance that costed me £50 quid for 100ml. I rarely get complimented when I wear Roja Fetish. So Conclusion.. Just buy a fragrance you LOVE and is UNIQUE TO YOU... She does bring up a good point in where she explains that a million other men wear one million, issey miyake, jean paul gautier e,t,c.

[@momomani1442]

You are amazing!. Great videoand very rich info.I love high quality fragrance!

[@christophe_gallant]

Good point about how cheap perfume smells like air fresheners, although not all cheap perfume smells terrible. I like Aqua Di Gio and it gets me more compliments over all out of anything else I wear, including Tom Ford and Creed.

[@christophe_gallant]

+BlokeBritish Not the cheapest but among the affordable and to me, one of the cheapest in my collection yes.

[@kingtut-fs1tk]

I trust this lady. She is knowledgeable and has a lot of class. To attack her with cheap comment is awful. She is also very beautiful with an amazing voice. I hope she does more videos.

[@voiceofexperience]

kingtut777 😂😂😂

[@johnwales7473]

Wise words from a very knowledgeable and beautiful woman!! Thanks for the Info

[@MrFinally24]

Unfortunately, I have to disagree with 90% of the stuff she said. Not always cheap colognes smell cheap. Also testing fragrances on paper is not good enough.

[@HatovimLeTayis]

I own several Creed perfumes, Parfums de Marly Herod and official samples of virtually every male Amouage fragrance. Of course these scents have superior quality. But I don't agree with her statement about 'cheap = bad.' That's baloney. Nautica Voyage is my gym scent, and I get a lot of female attention. If Midnight In Paris by Van Cleef & Arpels was marketed by Amouage, it would sell for 200 euro per bottle. Yet I bought it for less than 30 euro. Avant Garde by Lanvin is a rich smelling scent as well, and very seductive. Or what about Lalique Encre Noire? Regarding Grey Vetiver: I like vetiver scents like Mugler Cologne, Guerlain Homme L'Eau Boisée, and Terre d'Hermes Parfum much more. In my personal top 10, only the niche scents Creed Aventus and Parfums de Marly Herod would get a spot.

[@scarbobblecop]

"One of CREED's best known men's fragrances, Green Irish Tweed was created by sixth-generation master perfumer Olivier CREED for a film industry client who personified masculine style and elegance on the silver screen. Offered to the discerning public years later,...." - From the Creed Perfumes website Ever consider that it was exclusively made for movie stars and political types long before it was offered to the general public?

[@dpmark4]

My favorites are Chanel Antaeus and Moschino pour Homme. Talk about a cut above and obscure!

[@joevs21001]

Very informative. Thanks for your advice and insight on mens fragrances. I am somewhat of a fragrance fanatic as my wife would say. I have no less than 50 different scents in my arsenal at one time. I know, that is a bit in excess, but I truly can't help myself sometimes. I do agree with you 100% that you cannot go cheap when it comes to fragrance purchase. I have found out through the years that when you spend a bit more, you get a bit more in terms of quality. Never skimp, ever.

[@Rangerswincup]

I am a fragrance nut, and in all honesty, Cool Water is very similar. It basically smells like GIT but with watery caloney notes added and almost like it was made into a laundry detergent smell. Definitely cheaper smelling, but VERY similar. However, with that said I don't care for either of them. I would much prefer to have a bottle of Aventus or Millesime Imperial over GIT.

[@fizzzzaa1]

I would use the strips and narrow it down to the ones you want. Id then try it on my skin to see how well it reacts with your body chemistry.

[@RainDeepshoXX]

Utterly gorgeous Sali Hughes.. ;] ...with a beautiful accent.

[@30Spiritual]

Minus the nose like the penguin from batman ...

[@RainDeepshoXX]

30Spiritual I quite like her petite nose! ...I take it then, your a bitter female with a nose like Worzel Gummidge?.. ;-D

[@Dohboy69]

I think Tom Ford is very particular it smells expensive, but doesn't do it for me. I agree your point on marketed smells. I do love Byredo 'Sunday cologne' btw.

[@ungredda4]

your voice is sooooo relaxing very melodic and soothing quality to it, loved the vid

[@kargbo1337]

can u do a part 2 to the clip.cuz is so much information left out of these clip pls.i would like to know the rest of those colognes on that table pls

[@Abdurrahman-dl5tt]

4 interesting facts in this video: 1) cheap perfume smells nasty/expensive perfume smells better than cheap. 2) You should always test perfume on a piece of paper. 3)With department store designer perfumes, the last thing they think about is the perfume. 4)John F Kennedy wore Green Irish Tweed.

[@allen31951]

I very much appreciate the videos geared toward men. Please do more. You bring an obvious mastery of the information pertaining to whatever topic you are discussing. Thank you.

[@Ashr1138]

JFK was dead when Green Irish Tweed was released...

[@Ashr1138]

Not quite mastery.

[@MrJReverton]

please DON'T do more

[@georgef.a.w.st.claire4641]

I can hear the sarcasm dripping....

[@665don667]

Actually, it's the Creed Vetiver created in 1948 that Kennedy wore.

[@djchris30]

Green Irish Tweed came out in 1985, pretty sure Kennedy didn't wear it😂. Roja Dove is👌

[@suzimajor9532]

I read the article where you stated that diptyque l'ombre dans l'eau was one of your favorite men's fragrances. Do you prefer the edt or the edp?

[@philjarratt4084]

God I love you.... you are so so special. Great presenting, seriously!!

[@Dreez76]

I'd gladly pay 100£ for a good fragrance. Creed Original Santal costs 200£, and i don't mind. I paid about 90£ for each of the fragrances in my Thierry Mugler collection. I believe my cheapest bottle is Fahrenheit, 50$ - been my signature scent for 20 years.

[@soccermaster3d]

jfk wore creed's vetiver

[@laxm0nkey]

And look how that turned out for him

[@hafeez7upable]

Thanks for a wonderful video. You are vrey good.

[@bodynation1]

Hi Sali. What is your take on Opium for Men by YSL and Midnight in Paris by Van Cleef & Arpels? I would really appreciate your feedback. Cheers!

[@afa6361]

Opium is amazing. I have $400 bottle fragrances, but that Opium bottle is still one of my favorite ones.

[@whoryanp]

A*MEN PURE MALT is one of my favs

[@Hungstar69]

Thumb up to fact about EDP and EDT, not many pplz know that ! glad u do n spreading the word.

[@PlayShorts3]

JFK wore Vetiver not Green Irish Tweed, Prince Charles has worn Green Irish Tweed or maybe still wears it

[@DubsMood]

True! Btw, i totally dig your style.

[@LeEgoisteNYC]

Fantastic advice. Thank you so much

[@mido4life]

cheap perfume smells nasty???? what if i bought my new haarlem for 5 bucks? does that mean it smells nasty?

[@JokkeHimSelf]

I live in the capital of Norway, and the stupid thing is that there are no real perfume-shops here :( only perfume-shops in supermarkets and they sell designer-fragrances (and I never buy my fragrances from the internet, because I'm afraid I won't get the real stuff). I am a collector so I have now around 32 different fragrances ;) But I only buy fragrances that suits me, and remind me of a wonderful holiday-memory.

[@joerobertson7571]

Your talking about " cheap" perfumes but you say £40 is a "fortune" for perfume?

[@lincolnhawk4671]

***** Nautica Voyage is less than $15.00 for 100ml and is still one the best and most complimented fragrances out there. After that many highly rated scents range from $50 to $80. Her Tom Ford and Creed recommendations will run you $250 to $400 for a 100ml bottle. Yikes!!!

[@deanwright1691]

Yes your right the women don't know what she is talking about and every time I watch her video about men's fragrances I want to give her a slap round her chops

[@joerobertson7571]

It was the only one i watched :P

[@paradisus3463]

allot of people like synthetics, most people aren't conoseurs.

[@mikegwapa]

I think there is a fallacy that the more expensive the fragrance is the better it is. There are still fragrances today cheap as they may but of GOOD QUALITY. Fragrances as well reacts differently depending on skin type so never rely on how it smells like on paper.

[@AndrewBuckScentrist]

Bloody hell, there's quite a bit of misinformation here that I barely know where to start. Her comments on Creed GIT are rubbish (do they check facts at all), and while coffee beans are commonly used to clear the nose, a fresh clean linen cloth is better. Plus, you need to go further than just paper blotters since skin chemistry plays a crucial role, and not all "expensive" fragrances are better (many are simply more expensive). And please don't get me started on the overuse of makeup.

[@dantealighieri1265]

i have to disagree. Cheap doesn't mean automatically bad. There are a lot inexpensive fragrances that have great quality. For example Creed's Original Santal is a expensive copy of MontBlanc's Individuel and still many people consider Invividuel to be the better one. Creed has good fragrances, no doubt about that but in my opinion they're overpriced. I believe also the most stories about the famous customers are just made up by Creed for marketing reasons.

[@earlyanlao6236]

thank you for those tips

[@Dreez76]

Le Male is overused, worn by pretty much everyone i know because it's "popular", i wouldn't recommend it. If i would recommend any fragrance, it would be Lacôste Hypnôse Homme. I've used Fahrenheit since early 90's, just started using Hypnôse. I have a bottle of Old English Leather incoming, and a bottle of Bridgetown. But if you want to smell like everyone else and have no personal fragrance, use Le Male.

[@adamgrass3547]

wow, so much of that is wrong PR and magazine nonsense. Also, I was unaware that JFK lived to 1985 to wear Green Irish Tweed.

[@Adamkay17]

Yeah, was just thinking that

[@catveezle]

how can i quickly and inexpensively get to sample a massive range of ladies perfumes, to decide which i like the best, and then hopefully convince my girlfriend to wear it?

[@lolamonavi5147]

no offense but thats condescending pro natural non sense, besides who wants to spend 100 dollars on 50ml of liquid honnestly i dont care how bloody natural something claims to be first because its not even legal to create real amber so, it anyhow never justifies an exaggerated and prohibitive price if ithe cost of production is going to be to exaggerated for average income people then synthetics is good enough, and people int o luxury are condescending and usually very repulsive people

[@BezKomentare]

nice review a nice young lady

[@veromoh]

GIT was created in 1985 actually so it sounded weird that JFK was wearing it

[@2083urmo]

Excellent review , You have educated me in how to go by choosing my fragrances. Thanks,

[@scuppaf6476]

Yes maybe so but that difference in QUALITY doesn't justify the HUGE price gap. Especially since the average will not be able to tell the difference.

[@raymondsolisjr.1262]

I'm new to fragrances I love your review.

[@afa6361]

I am a hardcore fragrancer, and I can tell for sure she doesn't know what she is talking about.

[@marcocorreia4178]

Indeed, you can tell just by the first few seconds of the video when she calls her snob opinion a fact, also, a lot of niche fragrances and expensive fragrances use synthetics

[@afa6361]

***** Her own skin and makeup are all synthetic lol.

[@voiceofexperience]

This woman is to fragrances what "ArchieLuxury" is to wristwatches...

[@sithukyaw9019]

gosh Montblanc perfumes smell more natural than one million at 1/3 of price

[@cugir321]

Test Be Delicious for men..DKNY.....tell us what you think.

[@theLupeXperience]

1st off, it's GIT, 2ndly - it doesn't. The difference in quality is just way too pronounced. Cool Water practically smells like GIT, like Condoleeza Rice practically looks like Rihanna!

[@HPLovecraftsCat87]

Her advice is to buy roja dove? I didn't realise this video was only for Torys.

[@mbagala1]

grey vetiver

[@lincolnhawk4671]

She has so many annoying ticks like sniffing deeply and smacking her mouth like she's chomping on some Bubbalicious. This is where the American valley girl persona originates. Info was good though. Haha!

[@Rangerswincup]

just subbed! thanks

[@scuppaf6476]

this is bs. there are many cheap fragrances that smell amazing like coolwater

[@GL-gi2kx]

Kennedy wore a Vetiver based scent made for him by Creed; not GIT which was released in 85 as mentioned below by Scentpede. GIT and the rest of Creed fragrances are excellent and contain more natural raw ingredients vs designer synthetics. I do enjoy Chanel and Dior, on the other hand; even Issey Miyake which when I first put my nose on IM women scent in 94, I was blown away. The men's is not as enchanting, nor "bliss" as the women's IM perfume. In any case, this woman makes a lot of sense about scents, ha ha.

[@VikingShaver]

How the hell can JFK have worn GIT, when GIT was released in 1985 ? This lady reveals she us NOT a frag head. Also you NEVER EVER test fragrances on paper. Only on skin. But hey, I'm a fragead. She's certainly not. Cheers/Claus from Denmark

[@MisterSn0w]

your just snobby JIT practically smells like cool water

[@deafected]

Lots of advice that is wrong. Even how she smells perfume on a test strip is wrong.

[@LarryOfilms]

ugh this woman is full of contradictions and just a snob who acts all high class. She's forgetting the fact that fragrance smells different on everyone due to their own body's chemistry so two people can wear the same fragrance and still smell different, a connoisseur like herself would be able to detect that and the whole buying niche brands is rubbish as not all care about high quality and sometimes you pay for the in store experience and some cheap fragrances are staples on a lot of top fragrance list like Old Spice. Wear and buy what you like, if that woman (like her) doesn't appreciate it then you dodged a bullet because she might want you to buy her a tiny 1 oz bottle of "high quality" fragrance. I've worn cheap generic fragrances that got loads of compliments and got none when I wore my high quality perfume oils.

[@HamzaChoudry]

very good analysis

[@ScarvesForUnited]

Complete snob.

[@biobelewilliam-west1310]

Omfg I know. Most definitely a golddigger snob at that

[@Tommy4553]

Not too bad tips...

[@jd990exp]

This comment is hilarious, and points to the utter pretentiousness and breathless ignorance of this 'beauty expert'. If perfume doesn't make you feel good, it's useless, regardless of the price tag. To make price a sole determining factor is the sure sign of someone who has lost the reason for wearing fragrance in the first place - to have fun.

[@brucearmstrong708]

GET TO IT

[@ericdanthon2]

Don't hate! You do generally get what you pay for! That is very true. Aqua di Gio will generally work for the regular guy who wants to smell good. No harm in that. She is referring to the higher class person who want's top quality. It is just a fact. GIT, Aventus.

[@kngkrmson2179]

True. She's talking high class. Not everybody will go for the exclusive stuff. Lately I'm totally into Jaguar eau de toilettes. Not very expensive, but they smell great. I noticed that few people uses them.

[@lexip396able]

Seriously get to the point!

[@hayleysmith5077]

You are absolutely right cheap perfumes are like air freshener SO GROSS! Love all Hermès , Chanel, Cartier , Armani Thanks for sharing 💐💐💐💐🌷🌷🌷💖

[@Tommy4553]

Coffee beans Haha

[@MeatEater96]

She has no idea what she's talking about. I was kiterally laughing my ass off when she said that JFK wore GIT.

[@lincolnhawk4671]

I really really really really really hate cheap make up. Theres no two ways about it and this woman is wearing cheap make up.

[@DubsMood]

you must be really bored for commenting here 100x what you don`t like on her... get a hobby/life/girlfriend!

[@lincolnhawk4671]

DubsMood You are as annoying as this pretentious b---- you hypocritical sack of sh--! Get a life douche.

[@DubsMood]

That's all you have left? You are are slow and stupid.

Pinched nose syndrome!

[@kkqd]

hot

[@ZeroAphexx]

Tom Ford?! Creed?! Who's going to pay for this?!

[@Dohboy69]

Almost convinced me you were knowledgeable on fragrances- agree that cheapfragrance does smell like toilet cleaner, but then you said about paying £40 for a good one and mentioned Tom Ford, Creed, Byredo etc which lost credibility withme .... also, even niche houses do accords. Creed being one of the major culprits!

[@Dohboy69]

By the way Green Irish Tweed recently became my bathroom freshenr

[@jalalslyrics9992]

U are so attractive
