the trouble with testing out fragrances in department stores, especially here in london is i always feel like you are being rushed by the sales assistants so you don't get a good gauge on how the fragrance actually smells.

[@philosophicalinquirer312]

Quite true. Variations are widespread - from "free to hang around" to totally pestered and annoying to highest degree. ...and also depends on when and who in the same department store ! Eg One local boots pharmacy literally leaves you alone to test pretty much everything - even expensive lines, for as long as you want. Another - bothers you. Likewise with John Lewis, where I have sprayed quite a generous amount of Creed ! ....but depends when !

[@scentmonk7324]

In the town where i live, my local boots leaves all the cabinets open on a saturday, so you are free to test whatever you want. i just find when i go to london i get the problem with sales assistants pestering me

[@kamilzaryab6209]

Scentmonk very true!

[@sonogabri1]

Just tell them not to rush you , that's all.

[@erosero940]

I dont talk to asistants . I have more experience than theese asistants

[@nii_yuhh]

This was so so so so useful. I have been doing it wrong since like, forever. Thank you so much. I'm so grateful to have found your channel and your video♥️

[@nirajvaghadia8959]

I went to colaba where you went to buy attars, and i told them i am your follower and i got a 100 rupees discount! :D

[@prathameshjoshi6899]

what is price range at colaba attar shop???

[@ThapeloChuene]

Nikhil... What a very valuable lesson from you.. Its information like this which is often overlooked that helps people like me who are still fairly new in fragrance game. You are not far from where I am... I'm in Johannesburg, South Africa... Enjoy your day vacation!!!

[@ThapeloChuene]

Exotic Scents with Nikhil Please let me know.. I'll be available

[@ThePerfumeNerd]

Thanks for another very informative video. From what I saw here it is obvious that I have been going about my sampling in the wrong way. This is good to know and I will definitely do it this way the next time and see how much of a difference it makes over the way I do iy now.

[@ManuB3581]

This is awesome . I wish this was up two weeks back lol. I had just made one of those purchases , after a marathon testing session and like you mentioned ended up with one which I initially liked but it was all Top note only and after that I could hardly make out what it smelled like . Thank you for this !!

[@explorehunter]

This is a very valuable and important information for any picky perfume lover who are on a hunt to acquire a good personal favourite perfume. Especially people like us in UAE where we are bombarded with the opportunity to test perfumes from any walks of daily life.

[@jonkomatsu8192]

Excellent tutorial, and from such a lovely part of the world. Shukriya!

[@AbdulAzeem-jv9lr]

Thanks for this, it has saved me lot of money by avoiding blind buys.

[@zafeershaikh907]

Bhai You are super awesome and very deep and detel knowledge about Perfume and great lesson to buy a fragrance which you like by this tips... thanks bhai

[@nadima2327]

Knowledge knowledge knowledge....is what I gain. Nikhil bhai great job.

[@catalincioponea]

Very good video. I didn't had a video like this when I was a beginner so I had to learn it the hard way. One more advice I could add is that if you really like a scent and you've tested it once, just wait a few days or weeks and test it again. You will find out that we get bored of fragrances really fast. (that was the case for me at least) The same is true with a fragrance that you don't like, give it another try after a while, maybe you will appreciate it more.

[@poundrick]

Good video Brother I've been sampling at least twelve scents at a time and they always smell different after buying, I'm using your method moving forwards.

[@sikanderzari6991]

6000 subscriber crossed congrats Bhai . Very good vedio . Keep up the great work . We all are with u .

[@kkoun]

Like this look with that hair cut and facial hair!

[@RahulYadav-nk6wp]

You are truly an aficionado Nikhil, that was indeed very informative.

[@abdulkhadeer2351]

y to c or hear other when an expert like u explaining each n everything deeply... the only channel i liked on youtube is yours

[@chinweokorafor4338]

Sooooo enlightening!! Thank you.

[@arezentes]

Great review and instruction.

[@passionatebraziliangirl.4801]

It is fun to watch your videos because you are so handsome and you have great taste.

[@rideyalife]

Damn this guy is good! Always learn so much from yr videos Nikhil. Big shout out from singapore. PS: please dont use Aventus as a sample, just use a cheap $10 fragrance next time :D

[@fawadali2844]

Thanku kindly Nikhil, very informative, loved the scenic view, by the way I'm also trialling Creed Aventus for the past couple of days n i hv to tell ya it's a love at first sight( sniff) . cheers

[@gprince7953]

Great video and very informative as usual my brother! Keep up the great work in our fraghead community Nikhil

[@literaryartist1]

Can you make a video (more towards the basics) contrasting the concepts of notes, accords and families; further contrasted with linear and Non-Linear fragrances?! Im sort of familiar with these concepts but I'm still having a hard time making some of these connections (e.g. is the citrus family another way of saying that is an accord? Is is an accord an entirely different concept from that of families?). I don't have a well developed nose as of yet but at least if I could make the connections and understand the science or theory I might be able to. I love how you articulate these topics so I hope you will do a video on it. Thank's

[@abasalam2095]

I need high projection scent perfume highly loudly projection perfume which one ? From Arabic choice.

[@oicmdm]

I am really impressed,guru

[@aarshinpanchal]

Make a series on perfumes to collect different fragrance wise and around 1k, 2k, 3k INR range it will be helpful to a lot of people I guess!!

[@me0203]

Very useful advice. Thanks

[@abuyousuf8494]

Thanks for sharing your valuable knowledge, brother applying perfume on beard or hairs will change color to grey????

[@zedshah4138]

i like perfumes .. you r awsom like your video r gud im from pajistan my fvrt is dunhill desire

[@khanfiroz9172]

Very nice video... Bhai, which one is better Faqat Lil Rijal or 1001 Nights... plz suggest me

[@jainsumit2671]

Nice video, you do good editing too with interesting music. Will definitely try this way. Most of us actually can't do this because of time or availability constraint. That's why we trust reviewers like you, babbs, joy amin and few others before blind buying.

[@jainsumit2671]

Exotic Scents with Nikhil same case with me. I had stopped watching reviews for some time as it becomes addiction to buy and try. The urge to buy is not controllable at times. It's good that my wife stops me from buying.

[@azeezjee2286]

Spot on Nikhil bhai, happened to me at duty free shops!

[@bravobear1844]

I spent 80 bucks on two colognes (over payed) I both sold much cheaper to my brothers. Your tips are very helpful and I will take note

[@fakl7931]

Where do you recommend for getting access to smelling and trying niche fragrances?

[@sneharavindran8254]

Informative...Thank you

[@jamshaikh4937]

Sir could you please help us out with which mic do you use in your videos? In this video to be precise.

[@jeff49605]

I test perfumes on paper, and more daring scents on skin, because the scent can vary tremendously from paper to skin. i spray some perfume on a large piece of paper and i wave the paper in front of my nose : this simulates the sillage and projection of the perfume. I never smell it upclose the nose to the paper, that's not how a perfume works. A perfume dissipates into the air and that's what you smell,

[@saletecembrani1335]

Another good video!

[@patraDeepankar]

Can you suggest some deos too ?this summer season budget special video plz

[@pankajchandnani7724]

Are these tips applicable even while choosing concentrated oil ??

[@Abeyjohnsen]

[@WaseemAhmad-ww5ff]

Thanks nikhil sir for these lovely tips. Looking eagerly forward for ur video on Attar sampling tips. Can u recommend me some nice oud bakhoor for burning, since good agarwood chips cost quite a fortune. What do u say about Tibr ul oudh from ASQ or Al haramain bakhoor marwah???.

[@WaseemAhmad-ww5ff]

Exotic Scents with Nikhil Thanks a lot sir.

[@pateldivykant5609]

Nikhil bhai can you tell the names of 3-4 basic frags for attars as you have mentioned to start sampling with basic frags?

[@pateldivykant5609]

Exotic Scents okie thanks ✌

[@Audiomonkscollective]

thanks Babu...

[@surajkalakoti8566]

Bro..this is exactly i select my perfumes. i keep them for hour or so..in different pockets..in bags..trousers..i label them with price too😂..I went to ajmal stores..2 days ago and bought 2 perfumes..will visit them again for attars. Just want to mention one thing bhai..i smelled pure or only oudh at ajmal.. that oud smell is really different(not in good sense)..but when same oudh mixed with other materials..it gives altogether different perspective of oudh. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I will request you to be active on your other Hindi channel so that we can learn about perfumes available in india.

[@surajkalakoti8566]

Exotic Scents with Nikhil ohhh..that is the reason i didnt like it..and i was wondering how can someone apply it on their body/clothes. I bought Nuetron and Dream Merchat woody. Im in love with Ajmal wisal Dhahab..it is extraordinary. I ll try to buy oudh combodia from boruzz(rasasi). Also let us know any place where we can buy oudh(that is suitable for indian nose 😊) Just spread the information bro..you really showed us the way.

[@irshad180]

Exotic Scents with Nikhil Thank you nikhil .indonesia its my favorite one expensive also but I need regular use 😊 but fresh something special

[@sharfalor4244]

Most KZbin frag reviewers need to watch this. This is how I've done it for 30yrs, sales assistants hate me. It makes me laugh when I see some of them opening a whole line they've been sent, spraying them in the air in the same place, then on paper and shoving it to their nostrils, five scents in a ten minute video and followers hanging on their every word. 🤣

[@davidthom7127]

I hear and respect what you are saying but in my opinion spraying on cards can be very misleading and can be like viewing a painting at a weirdly acute angle.

[@PratikShahEditor]

love ur videos. i know this was an instructional video. but keep camera eye level. u look sharper

[@PratikShahEditor]

Exotic Scents hahaha. You still look quite sharp

[@woodenmusichouse1974]

[@gauravtiwari6534]

What is fatigue you were taking about?

[@philosophicalinquirer312]

Olfactory fatigue - basically desensitization of the ability to smell or distinguish fine nuances in the scents. Same applies to all sensory modalities - but Olfactory is more sensitive than the rest. Next is probably taste. Trying out different foods with delicate tastes after a strong curry is not going to be very interesting. Visual fatigue is also common eg when going to an art museum and enjoying various paintings, but a few hours of this and you begin not caring a damn or able to contrast the fine details - it all becomes boring. Same with any high impact visual scenery. Same with VR experiences. Same with having lights too bright. Similar with sounds and touch. The basics for this are found in the biology of nerve impulse action potentials at the sensory receptors and how the brain processes these signals. In some cases it is the sensory receptor itself and how it fires a signal, in other cases its how the brain processes the signal and its various pathways to different parts of the brain.

[@verilyhumane6056]

I dont buy them by sampling, notes are important for me and its always a delight to buy a perfume online, without sampling one. Not recommended for novices.
