Advice: Don't listen to fragrance reviewers when they say "too many people wear this fragrance". Most people don't wear fragrances at all. There's a 99% chance you'll be the only guy wearing a fragrance when you enter a room. Always visit a fragrance store in person and smell a fragrance before yo buy it. Wear whatever you like!

[@krm5693]

They refer to people wearing fragrances. Obviously not people who don’t wear fragrances. They’re generally correct in regards to designer frags being worn by a majority of people that wear fragrances. That’s backed by global sales or those that own the frags on sites like fragrantica. +1 on not blind buying.

Anytime this shy narcissist tells you “you suck” you know the video is gonna be a banger

[@kuznecoffjames]

Some *comments* for you: 1. Modern perfumery is based in French perfume culture. As a result, you pronounce « _eau de ..._ » as "oh duh...". So « _eau de toilette_ », for instance, becomes "oh duh twah-let", and « _parfum_ » is pronounced "par-faihn" (the n isn't pronounced; I recommend typing it into google translate to hear how these words are pronounced). 2. A lot of brands have multiple concentrations of a single perfume, and all of them smell different. For instance, Versace's Eros has an eau de toilette (edt), eau de parfum (edp), and a parfum (aka extrait de parfum). Of course, all 3 are going for the same "vibe", but the parfum smells completely different to my nose and MUCH denser than the other two lower concentrations. As a result, even if you like a certain perfume at a certain concentration, *it's not safe to buy a different concentration of the same perfume* because it is really an ENITRELY DIFFERENT perfume which should be tried _before_ buying a full bottle. 3. An edt isn't always weaker than an edp or parfum/extrait. In many cases, an edt from one brand can be stronger than pure parfum from another. For instance, Armaf's Club de Nuit Intense Man EDT, a clone of Creed's Aventus (EDP), is actually stronger than Aventus despite having a lower concentration (I don't know how, but it's true). 4. Buying clones of perfumes can be a viable option to expand one's collection and save $$$. Many clones have a tendency to actually perform better the perfumes that they were inspired by (project farther distances, last longer on skin, linger in the air longer). The aforementioned Club de Nuit Intense Man, for instance, can be had for ~$40 on Amazon, which is much cheaper than the ~$500 MSRP for 100ml of Creed Aventus. 5. Buy your fragrances at discounters! For example, instead of paying ~$500 MSRP for 100ml of Creed Aventus, you can pay like $330 for 100ml at fragrancebuy. Reddit is also a good resource to find good deals on perfumes and to buy small samples of brands you might not be able to find at Macy's/Nordstrom/Saks/Neiman Marcus. Check out r/fragranceswap and r/fragdecants for buying and r/fragrance for the general community.

[@watercrescent]

Just wanted to add if you travel somewhat often out of country airport duty free great place to get fragrances at a discount

[@fastslowboat]

The stronger performance can be attributed to the ingredients - the synthetic content in Club de Nuit is significantly higher, resulting in durability. Another rule of thumb: EdC/EdT = higher alcohol content, resulting in faster evaporation, which leads to better sillage and tends to have a shorter lasting effect. Extrait dP/Parfum = less evaporation due more perfume oil, thus lower sillage but better durability throughout the day. EdP is kind of the middle ground and for many people the sweet spot.

That was my first signature frag when I started collecting. Still love it!

[@ojoaofecchio]

Dolce&Gabbana's Light Blue Intense is my daily go-to fragrance since i was 17, it has a citrusy and fresh smell to it combined with a little bit of salt water, and i really enjoy it. I had this one time that a friend of mine came back from a trip to the beach and she said "I was drinking a mojito on the sand watching the waves on a late afternoon and it reminded me of your fragrance". Loved this

[@RaffiDiranBassclef]

Hi, I'm a fragrance nerd who just wants to help out. With your recommendation on going for the parfum over the eau de toilette because it lasts longer. Just keep in mind, the projection (the thing that makes the fragrance jump off your skin) comes from the alcohol content. So generally whilst fragrances with higher oil concentrations do last longer, they will not project like an EDT and will sit close to your skin (us frag nerds call this a 'skin scent'). Cheers

[@fashionelitist]

thank you for the more in depth info appreciate it bae ;)

[@booki3279]

While this is generally true this is also subjective. Most extrait de Parfums or elixirs (25%+ oil concentration) are room fillers

[@martinortiz8247]

also don’t forget to add, all the concentrations just have there qualities , eau de toilettes do project more they usually won’t last long, EDP’s have a mix of parfum and edt, projects while last decently, also good to note that it just depends on the housing and brand, who’s the perfumer, how much quality the brand cares abt

[@aufkeinsten7883]

I absolutely love my brothers and what they've shown me, but they're pretty big nerds - like me. This video felt like them teaching me, just in a topic they're clueless about. Thanks man :)

[@valentizzy]

Longevity does not come down to concentration only. It also depends on the fragrance composition and notes. Citrusy and fresh fragrances usually last less, sweet fragrances last longer.

[@toyplasticcello]

You're right, sometimes you'll find an edt that will throw HEAVY scent and make a huge scent bubble.

[@ixgelato6020]

This year I completely fell in love with CDG 2. I remember initially smelling it in a shop and absolutely hating it, but I couldn’t stop thinking about the smell for weeks. Eventually I got a sample and never went back. Managed to get a 100ml bottle on eBay recently, really glad I found a smell that I feel represents me

[@beanienclogs]

I remember growing up liking fragrances cause my dad would kiss me on the head before work and I'd smell his Dolce & Gabbana. As of late, I've realized that a fragrance can honestly spice up a fit similar to how jewelry and bags and stuff do. Valentino Uomo line is really good. Slightly sweet but they're all amazing even according to my friends that don't care for fragrances. Moschino Toy Boy is slightly floral but lasts for like 13 hours and is super appealing. Dolce & Gabbana's 'The One' eau de parfum is probably my favorite as of late as it makes me feel like Bruce Wayne tbh idk why but if you smell it you'll probably see what I'm saying. Good luck everybody

I'm guilty of putting on a sizable amount of extra perfume when I go out, but I've also made myself sick doing that with some scents lol My most lugubrious days were like, keeping a fragrance in my bag when I go to the bathhouse, and repeatedly going to my locker and re-upping the scent then washing it off.

something that you need to know if you're in te process of finding your signature scent is that ALL perfumes are unisex i'm a man and i prefer scents that are more femenine or ''for women'' (specially gourmand and sweet fragances) sooo feel free to use anything you like :)

[@chi-towncalifornia5916]

Freshly back from my local department store, where I was bombarded relentlessly with scented tester strips by eager sales staff, and succumbed to olfactory fatigue. I found that a lot of what’s on display right now just doesn’t dethrone the wonderful scents I already own in my wardrobe. The more on-hands exposure one has with scents via visiting department stores and purchasing decants, the less mystifying they become, and their acquisition syndrome begins to decline. My two favorite mainstream fragrance brands overall are Guerlain and Bvlgari. As for boutique, I love Amouage. Given your affinity for black clothing and woody scents, I would recommend Lalique Encre Noire, either the original, or Encre Noire A L’Extême.

[@svenskaela1234561]

I bought my brother Armani stronger with you and it the most beautiful “male” fragrance out there I steal it and wear it myself all the time I might even buy a bottle in the future. I think it’s truly a unisex scent that just smells like power and elegance but also somewhat alternative. Idk how to describe it it reminds me of brutalist architecture and my post communist country. My signature is Narciso Rodriguez for her (black bottle) I often get told I smell and look intimidating and people are shocked when they find out I’m actually really shy.

[@Nick-xb6hr]

whispers in the library goes so hard on my skin, that's my usual cold weather scent vs scifi by ellis for warmer weather. Both hit with similar notes but one is "sweeter" while the other is "fresher" and a bit stronger which helps with the summer stank

A Old Fragrance But Still Amazing & Very Unique Is Perry Ellis 360 1995, The Opening Is Like A Punch In The Nose, Very Strong & Powerful. Heavy Notes Of Lavender & Citrus.

[@karlivanr]

You look like you're a floral, spicy frag type of guy. My signature scent's Bleu de Chanel EDT. BUT, I also rotate among Y EDP, Dior Homme Sport (2012 version), and Lacoste Blanc. A fragrance usually becomes a signature for me mainly because of nostalgia factor, or when it has accompanied me for a long time. BdC EDT seems to be the most versatile and most fragrant for my nose. I have added recently Acqua di Gio Profumo, Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme to my collection. I think those mentioned will be my lifetime scents, I feel like I won't expand anymore. Maybe a little bit, if they tend to have new flankers in the future.

[@MrFreeman626]

My favourite is CDG's Blackpepper, which is also my signature. It smells smokey, fresh and sensual, but most importantly it smells really really "black", I don't know how else to describe it, but if you asked me "what does the colour black smell like" I would point to it. A second favourite would be Burberry London, especially the 2006 pre-reformulation version.

[@YabrakProds]

Nice video, i've recently gotten into the fragrance world myself and ended up owning 14 different frags in a month, they're clones obviously because im a broke college student - looking back on things with the power of hindsight, i gotta admit that while it was fun collecting different fragrances and getting my nose on different stuff to try and figure out what i like it would've been probably better if i had gone with one i really liked and just used that as my signature fragrance. why? because now i find myself standing in front of my 14 fragrance collection every morning or before i go out wondering "wtf am i going to wear today?" i can't emphasize how much i love each and every one of the frags i own, but inevitably i like some more than others. yet i have to wear them all on rotation now because i don't want to feel like i wasted money, and that's a shitty feeling tbh. it hasn't been all bad though, owning all these different frags has made me realize what i like and don't like in frags after giving each of them full wearings, and what to buy again in the future once i finish these bottles, and i think that's important to do for everyone looking to get into the hobby Friendly advice: A- Please smell before you buy, never blind buy. and B- Only wear what YOU like, do not try to impress anyone because tastes are vastly different! so yeah, moral of the story: find what you like, make sure you love it, make sure it works for you and stick to it. if you're thinking about expanding your collection i do not recommend more than 3-5, and make sure they're worthwhile.

Le Jardin de Monsieur Li… if you know nothing of this scent or what’s in it, I can’t describe it better than being in a lackadaisical dreamland in which there blows a golden wind that smells like sunlight and clarity. I KNOW IT SOUNDS SO DUMB but that’s all I could really feel when I smelled it for so long, because I could never put my finger on the kumquat note. Such a light and bright citrus that I couldn’t name gave an air of something beautiful and unknowable, heavenly, some sparkling (but not fizzy) effervescence. It really takes me somewhere divine, fantastical and euphoric. Jean-Claude Ellena is a master at creating fantastical scenes with naturalistic elements, balancing florals and citruses on a tight rope. My personal favorite of the Jardin series.

The Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum part is basically wrong. There are many EdT that last up to 10-12 hours and also EdP that last only a few hours. Some EdT even last as long as their EdP counterpart but just differ in scent. I think EdP can be an indicator of better quality ingredients, but in my opinion, this rarely translated to better quality smelling scent ( especially when there are so many synthetic notes that work well)

[@xathomir]

i was thinking the same thing. this was a key part that made me recognize that they are quite entry level in their understanding of fragrance

[@Gaztrea_Sai]

@@xathomir yes, exactly what I was thinking in many parts of the video

[@Crihs95]

Yeah exactly, in general EdP are longer lasting than EdT, but there are some cases where an EdT can be longer than an EdP, especially in the case of citrusy EdP that tend to evaporate faster

Good longevity and projection in a fragrance isn't necessarily a good or bad thing. It's just a feature. It's like saying a piece of clothing keeps you warm. Say you're in a small room, during a hot day. You probably don't want a fragrance that is very concentrated or heavy. You'll want something lighter that sticks to you a little more. Also, some eau de toilette have better performance than some eau de parfum. You should always give your fragrances a full wearing before buying.

there is this lil home goods brand called skeem that sell matches and candles but also have these nice roller ball fragrances. the one i like is called coastal drift wood and it smells mossy and aquatic. it smells like still water in a forest. but it also smells like what i imagin sexy surfers smell like.

intense cafe by montale, its kind of over the top if you spray too much but i cant get enough of it. I like smells i can compare to other things i just find them to be more relatable (if that even makes sense) and it smells just like coffee.

I only have one and its the Diptyque Orpheon. I went ballzy and risked it but ended up liking it very much. Hella expensive tho (I used a 50 dollar gift card for it but the price is still heavy for me). Love all the notes, first spray smells really flowery, after that I can smell some berries with it and last is very musky. I read its a 60s inspired fragrance which is cool, but I dont dress retro but I think it pairs well in all black outfit. Before this the only bottle i had was from bath and body, the fresh and cool smelling one but the longevity sucks.

You have to alternate between at least two fragrances to avoid nose blindness

Great video, learned quite a few things :)

[@mish2512]

My signature one is Guerlain L'homme Ideal Extreme. You should definitely try it out it has this scent trail of cherries and It's kinda masculine too and It's hot af imo I feel like a god walking with that shit

[@cseymour97]

With your style I feel like Frédéric Malle Portrait of a Lady completes it.

[@Mustlehard]

Eau de toilettes actually have more projection than higher concentrations. Meaning the “radius” is bigger. They typically don’t last as long but every cologne is different. Sauvage edt lasts 6+ hours

[@Mustlehard]

And you definitely don’t want to spray on your wrists and rub it. Don’t be scared to spray 5 sprays

[@farhanyudaputra6422]

personal fave are club de nuit intense and emper toolbox

6:10 Is not always true, as it can be with expensive fragrances like Creed (ahem, Aventus) or Freshies from PDM, or even most Jo Malones, Diptyque, and Byredo (no hate), etc. They last at most 3-4 hrs and become very close skin scents, and fade off as they don't work well with my skin chemistry. I do have fairly oily skin, so that isn't a problem that I need to "moisturize" or have "clean skin out of the shower b.s." Edit: And no, I did not become nose bind; I do ask around-relatives, friends, etc.

im excited to watch :D

Davidoff Cool Water: (Aromatic and Aquatic/Marine) If you are looking for a fragrance for the summer that is NOT the Nautica Voyage and is below 30 dollars with decent silage and longevity, then go for this one. Paco Rabanne Invictus (Original): (Citrusy, Marine, Aromatic) This is a fragrance I would pick over the Paco Rabanne's 1 million just because of its less synthetic smell and it is not as strong and sharp to people's noses. It has enough silage to be smelled from 2 to 3 feet away with the longevity with good silage in a 3 to 4 hour range. It is perfect for date nights and day time/summer which the 1 million fails to do so and is mostly good for colder environments.

I'm that one friend/brother that wears clean fresh musky and warm fragrances. all the fragrances that I wear and people that know me know my scent already. whenever my family members or friends smell my scent somewhere else they think of me
