GQ messed up it’s not Nuit de Noho it’s Liberty Island

[@CascadeScents]

Evidently I’m catching this too after the fact. Thank you! I’d have to revisit this one honestly, but Bond no longer has ADs in my country and no gray market stores around me have it to test. 😭

[@andredmoss]

@@CascadeScents I completely understand. Since I’m a bond Stan I knew right away when I seen the original video. I know people hate Bond but I love their longevity maybe not originality.

[@CascadeScents]

Initio has sent Duke 5 bottles for free 😭 They just gave him Narcotic Delight , Oud for Greatness and Blessed Baraka for his birthday. Man life ain’t fair 😂

[@rye619]

Ah hell nah that’s where I draw the line someone NURF this ninja now😂😂. Gotta love it for him

Salute to Duke! He’s been putting in that work. 💯

Yeah give away stuff for free to people with a bunch of money 🙃

With 40 million followers i bet he get free crap

[@methanyl9871]

giving this man 5 bottles for free when he has the funds to get the 5 bottles with no harm to his bank acc is crazy + initio profiting off his purchases. gift wise, that was nice from initio i guess

Welcome! Thanks so much! 😊

My thought on cologne is, u just gonna have to find the one that fit u. I have the same view as fanum, normal people are not gonna notice all those note unless your a cologne expert. if u find a sense that smell good and matches with your skin just rock it.

[@johnnygunz1091]

I barely watch fragrance vids anymore but I look forward to these- thank u so much

This is so flattering. Thank you so much! 🙏

Manny! Always happy to see your videos. If I could ask you what do you think of my summer picks: Creed Millesime imperial, Gypsy water, and Parfums de Marley Percival?

[@CascadeScents]

Thanks so much! Killer lineup! I prefer MI and Percival here for the summer, but G-Water works for cooler summer days depending on where you’re at.

[@vs.7295]

Awesome vid, in you opinion what makes dior sauvage so likeable and projecting? Are there any scents you can think of that fit that same night out category with a sexier side and good projection?

[@CascadeScents]

Thanks so much! Dior Sauvage firstly has a very bright and addicting bergamot opening. It is as if you are cutting into the citrus itself and squeezing it; it's that invigorating in Sauvage! But also, it's done overtly synthetic here so it is long lasting and it creeps into the mid. It also has a metallic edge to it which is a little harsh, but definitely attention grabbing. It is this aspect that makes this scent potentially not flattering if oversprayed. And lastly and most importantly, the ambroxan is crucial. A musky aromachemical that is intoxicating in that it assists in igniting one's carnal desires. Now a lot of R&D went into that scent and that line, so it was "engineered to sell", but as far as "blue" scents at its most attention grabbing, I'd say don't seek alternatives. The alternatives alternatively do other things. Like, I prefer Bleu de Chanel Parfum for example, for a more straightforward but refined "deep waters" approach. Also, it's something that is more subdued in projection which I prefer because I don't care to flatter strangers I don't know, but rather my loved ones and myself in close range. So yeah, it depends what you want to go for! Hope this helps.

[@vs.7295]

@@CascadeScents great breakdown! I agree definitely engineered to sell. If you were to pick a few “club/ night out scents” that are not necessarily comparable to sauvage but in your mind work for projection and high likability what would you chose? Looking forward to next vid!

[@Th3xN1rTyxD1gGaZ1]

With fanums collection it brings to mind the saying “less is more”

What was the gold cologne duke sprayed

[@jacoletonharper2804]

I thought it was just me. But the Bond house has always given me synthetic vibes. Okay fragrances but just a synthetic feel to my nose for the prices.

[@CascadeScents]

Yeah, Bonds are just not as smooth which is deliberate on their part… But they often smell cheapened in comparison to others in its or surrounding price points, ugh.

[@TxmmyBeats]

Holy shit fanum is ‘bout it ‘bout it 😂🔥

[@noaleche8100]

New York nights is a cologne u ain’t smelled before once you smell it it’s so unique. It’s a pear caramel slight coffee if u don’t like sweet cologne it’s not for you. Definitely a sweet club smell

Do you own a bottle of Gucci Guilty Eau? Nobody on YT has reviewed it or talks about it. Its discontinued and hard to find but Ive heard its the best in the line and a great fragrance.

[@KxC-FK6349]

What do you mean Eau? Like eau de toilette or eau de parfum, etc?

[@TerrainJeremy3945]

@@KxC-FK6349 It's just EAU ..it's not the EDT or EDP version. It's a flanker of Gucci Guilty.

W video bro

[@CascadeScents]

Thank you so much! 🙏

[@taintedlife2618]

Ok that dude was at least adventurous with women’s marketed scents but wish he illustrated that more. Mens scents today are far sweeter and would have been considered feminine before Le Male came out in 1995ish.

[@CascadeScents]

Agree about how sweet men’s scents are now. Definitely would have warranted feminine categorization once upon a time.

[@fafnirnz5970]

I knew you were cooking a fire video and I wasn't wrong.

[@CascadeScents]

Very kind! Thank you so much! 🙏

[@Goosh342]

I think you mistook Nuits de Noho with Liberty Island with Fanum´s collection

[@faatty1]

nah you're right. I was gifted my first Bond No.9 (Hamptons) a week ago and was surprised at how cheap the bottle felt. It also smells like insect repellant...

[@CascadeScents]

Bet, ugh. Not for everyone. 😭

[@hollowcynar6318]

While i understand what you mean by “naturally” wanting to smell a certain way, idealizing them as “masculine” notes, you may find it interesting that perfume/cologne was made for men first - and it was all floral! It was very common for wealthy men to smell of white flowers, lavender, and also powdery notes that we currently perceive as “feminine”! Don’t want to sound patronizing or say you’re wrong for finding woody or aquatic notes inherently masculine, but this is a concept i find interesting, and think it should be more common knowledge! I think fanum is right, a man can wear anything; long as he knows how to rock it!

[@jfinch8328]

Where can I get that dodgers hoodie Noah Beck has on??? Help🔥🔥

[@CascadeScents]

I know, right? Super tough! Looks like something 47 Brand would have done but I cannot say for sure.

What happened between you and Gents Scents?

[@ReyHaha]

Name of the Gold bottle duke had ?

[@KxC-FK6349]

Description An enchanting place is found just south of Rome. Today it is a Natural Park, but it is still characterised by a landscape so rich it takes the traveller's breath away. This place is fixed in memories and has thousands of facets. It is immersed among the enormous sand dunes that face the sea and uninhabited mountains that are surrounded by opulent forests and woods. Framing the area is the most flourishing Mediterranean scrub ever seen that holds traces of the great men and women who lived here in the past. Walking along the ancient paths means being immersed in the sinuous scents and resounding recollections in memory, like a mermaid's song or the melody that the goddess Circe used to attract her victims, which we learned about in the Odyssey by Ulysses. We too have been enraptured by these persuasive perfumes, so much so that we have captured them in a sensual and warm fragrance that can transport the soul to the beauties of the senses. This is a magical and sensual perfume that is like the goddess that inspired it. It is characterised by a lush bouquet of sweet fruit including Passion Fruit, Peaches and Pears, mixed through skilful alchemy with Raspberries and Cassis. It is persuasive like a caress of Lily of the Valley and like a barefoot stroll on sand that is warmed by the contrast with the unmistakable Heliotropine and made powerful through the strength of the Patchouli and Musk wood. Like one of the famous enchanted potions of Goddess Circe, this extract enraptures whoever wears it, guiding them on mysterious paths to discover amazing marvels in a precarious evolution of emotions and inspiration enclosed in a magic filter that is able to leave behind an unending wake of mystery and sensuality. TOP NOTES: Orange, Ginger, Plum, Fig, Pink Grapefruit, Sagebrush MIDDLE NOTES: Red Sandalwood, Jasmine, Rose, Saffron, Grapefruit, Orange Blossom, Sandalwood, Pomegranate, Heather BASE NOTES: Vetiver, Sweetgum, Leathery Notes, Arbutus, Marine Cistus, Salt, White Sand, Oleander, Broom TOP NOTES: Passion Fruit, Peach & Raspberry, Cassis, Pear, Warm sand MIDDLE NOTES: Lily of the Valley BASE NOTES: Heliotrope, Sandalwood, Vanilla, Patchouli & Musk

You do not rub in fragrance

[@CascadeScents]

Rather you don’t have to. But they were rubbed on prior to the introduction of atomizers after all. Atomizers just kinda make rubbing redundant since you can just aim and spray without messing up your hands.
