Group Reaction: Versace Eros vs. Acqua di Giò Profumo

[@davidmcpoland5286]

This was the best frag channel what with the blind tests etc. Why the hell has it died?!

[@hoomania]

most likely because they posted 75 videos and only got 8 million views in total so it was not worth the effort

[@DiskoKDiskoL]

​@@hoomaniaonly 8 million?

[@liamk2]

Probably because it didn't develop in the way they had intended. Teddy the guy behind this channel also owns a watches-centered channel and there he just talks about watches and that's it. This follows almost Jubilee and more the "Teens/Elders etc REACT" format and the videos where him and his gf just talked and explained fragrances didn't get any views. So my best guess is he just decided this type of content wasn't making him happy even if it got him views

I love these kind of videos, humbles the frag snobs and the community. This is reality, a lot of popular scents in the frag community aren’t mass appealing and that’s fine…but don’t get upset because the masses don’t like what you wear…too much butt hurt people in the fragrance community as well. At the end of the day wear what you like. Fragrance is just an accessory.

[@woodstock480]

100% agreed...If you're wearing fragrances based solely on how you think other will perceive them, then it's a total toss-up, so just wear what you like because someone is bound to like what you wear, and someone else is bound to dislike it.

[@freelancer8332]

Just my take on these fragrances. Eros is more towards the much younger guys. I feel more comfortable with the EDP then the EDT tho. I'm not gonna hate on them for trashing ADG profumo, each is to his own. But ADG profumo has been for years and years been my signature fragrance. To me, it fits me the best.

[@Troy5150]

So 6 to 1 Eros over Profumo, interesting. These happened to be the first 2 fragrances I ever tried, one on each wrist. Immediately I was leaning towards Eros myself, but after they both settled in, all day long I kept going back to the Acqua Di Gio Profumo "wrist" as the clear winner. Eros seemed sweeter and vanilla smelling, which was still nice. But I'm 43 and ADG seems to have a manlier fragrance and just something special about the way it hangs around imo.

[@joshkarian5379]

Also it just goes to show the difference between spraying on skin and strips. You had people saying eros wasn't very strong, and that it would be great in the office but not for going out

[@onedadinplaid159]

ADG Profumo a well known boxer dropper. Of course it doesn't mean it won't drop some panties, in general if you smell good you will get compliments with almost any fragrance (and ADG Profumo is still objectively above average), but it's just soooo overhyped by men in my opinion.

@@pedrorojas0116 I wasn't trying to be mean. I've received more compliments wearing profumo from women than my other 6 fragrances combined. I dunno...I love it too.

Many people smell things differently

[@stevenwayne2606]

So what you are saying is if your a guy you would prefer Profumo and ladies would prefer Eros. Then the choice becomes would you rather wear a scent for yourself as a man or wear a scent that appeals to ladies. I'd rather wear a scent that I like regardless if ladies like it or not unless I was trying to get some numbers, we all know ladies like sweet fresh scents and I'd rather not smell sweet but instead smell like a man.

Also like how you've included a tally at the end so that we can see which one wins. The only other addition I'd make to your group videos would be to include the name of the fragrance being currently reviewed on the bottom of the screen -- so that the viewers do not have to keep hovering the cursor over the chapter name on the timeline. Would be great to include reviewers who are not American, as the feedback would be a bit more nuanced and interesting. Great job overall, looking forward to your next videos.

I get that people tend to like the easier perfumes as Xerjoff's offerings are very dense and strong. I have tested so many fragrances all these years but not one gets close to Alexandra 2.

At first I liked the concept of the videos but after watching several videos I ended up more confused about which fragrance to buy. The videos gave me to understand that the scents of the fragrances vary too much from person to person. Lived experiences and many other factors affect the opinion of the person in relation to the smell of a fragrance. By which it means that the fact that you like a smell of a fragrance is not necessarily going to mean that that person you are interested in will like it.
