Appreciate you acknowledging this! You have no idea how hard it is to shoot in macro and make sure that there are no fingerprints or oily marks on the bottle 😫 Thanks for reaching out👊🏽

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector I've seen some shockers but I think if you are going to be on camera and show a product make yourself and the product look the best they can, it doesn't take long to just put a comb through your hair and just give the bottle a bit of a polish if you don't have a lot of time.

Got recommended Humboldt from a friend overseas... Ordered a sample from Libertine and I gotta say.... while it didnt blow me right away the first time I wore it, I really fell in love with it the second or third time. Its defintely one of the most sparkly, effervescent citruses I've personally tried. That passionfruit / mandarin combo is so realistic and theres a nice green, maybe a little creamy component tucked away in the base. Was very happy to see a video from you when I searched for this frag on youtube! Might be buying a full bottle very soon

[@Roblyn2020]

I actually got excited when I saw that you were recommending a fragrance that I already have in my collection, Nishane Wulong Cha. Usually after watching your videos I am on the hunt for new fragrances for my collection, because the few times I already have one you recommend I am like, "Oh yes that is an excellent one!" And since you speak so highly of fragrances I already love I know that others you recommend are probably going to be to my liking, and have to try and get my nose on a sample. Next fragrance note to explore, I am torn between gourmands or white florals, I will definitely watch whatever you choose and probably rewatch it a few times because I enjoy the sound of your voice and I really enjoy learning about different fragrances. Have an awesome day!

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

You’re very kind @Roblyn2020; thank you for your words of encouragement and support (a wonderful boost of confidence….thank you). Yes, Wulong Cha is a wonderful companion of a fragrance. Works amazing on anyone who wears it. Whenever my son comes over (he’s 27) the first thing he does is hunt down Wulong Cha and sprays it😂 (and that’s no exaggeration!) You’ve given me the idea to get the woman in my family to recommend to me their favorite White Florals and I’ll do a line up on this; awesome recommendation. Thank you again @Roblyn2020, wonderful to hear from you

[@CristinaCannizzaro]

As an Italian I thank you very much for your extremely informative and historical accurate contents! This video was amazing and for once a fragrance-contents creator spreads truthful informations about WHERE the history of Western perfumery has actually started. There are a lot of fragrance contests creators here on youtube which are totally biased, and feed misinformation to the viewers about the history of Perfumery, deliberately ignoring history and facts! Of course most of them are French and naturally biased about it And it’s maybe possible that they also ignore facts or have received the French self celebrative version of the history! Nonetheless it’s important that someone stays truthful to reality and history! I appreciate very much you and your channel for that as Italian and as fragrance lover! Your work is very remarkable 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Grazie Mille Cristina👊🏽💫 I love doing my research plus I discovered this history when I was in Florence. If you go further back in time, we discover that the art of distillation was born in the Middle East! This was then brought to the European continent, in which the Italians began to expand and the French refined....each nation built on the shoulders of giants♥️ I'm glad that you enjoyed this episode Cristina, really appreciate you reaching out and connecting with me🙏🏽

It’s been a pleasure ,sir! I am a huge fan of all of your contents, especialky when they dig slightly deeper in the history of perfumery!

Acqua di Parma Colonia (my all time favorite and gateway drug into the frag game) Clive Christian 1872, Xerjoff Renaissance, Terre d'Hermes, and Dior Eau Sauvage round out the top 5 for me. Too many to choose from, but these are bangers.

Only recently found d tour channel and just watched this post for the first time yesterday. I was really upset when you said that Humbolt is only being made in 400 bottles as I thought I have no chance to get any over a year later. However I'm pleased to say I have found a bottle of this in the UK so I've taken the plunge I love citrus forward fragrances and I trust your olfactory system since we both love and respect Alessandro Gualtieri and his work, it wasn't cheap but good Niche houses never are, but decent value at £312 for 100ml. For me it is worth as I don't want to smell like everyone else wearing Invictus, 1m, Sauvage and Aventus.

If you don't have a lot of money but want a happy, unique shower gel-type citrus fragrance John Varvatos Artisan Pure is really good. To me, nothing beats Tom Ford Neroli Portofino when it comes to the beauty of the smell. It won't last that long though.

Great video Marcelo!🙌🏼 I have to say that your channel is the most creative in terms of visual representation of fragrances!😁 I love how you represent ingredients and all “technical” details of each perfume!👍🏼 I tried bothe Renaissance and Wulong Cha out of this range, both are very nice, but especially Wulong Cha, not very complex fragrance, but smells veeery nice! Like a cold tea with lemon in the middle of summer! If you compare Renaissance to Nio from Xerjoff, which one would you pick?

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Wonderful to hear from you Ivan, thank you for jumping into this conversation and very much appreciate the kind words my friend. Interestingly I didn't like Nio as much. I found that it was too much on the lemon/lime and it didn't really come down from there. I find that Renaissance, yes starts very strong on the lemon but it then migrates to that green/wood place (whilst still keeping the freshness of the citrus). So if I had to choose, it would be Renaissance for me😬 Thanks again @Ivan Lesnukhin👊🏼 good luck my friend!

I love Richwood🧡this is one that I don't hear a lot about (planning to do an episode on this one). Thanks Ali great to hear from you my friend

[@hypnotoads]

Great list Marcelo. On watching, I reached for my long neglected bottle of Renaissance and covered myself in it! I’ve had it quite a while, so it must have macerated somewhat but for the first time I detected a note of fennel (or aniseed?) within it - just a big bowl of fruit cocktail with a herby underpinning. Loving it! My personal favourite citruses are Creed Pure White (Original) Cologne, Xerjoff Nio (of course) and Jovoy’s 21 Conduit Street. 😊👍

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Hey Mark, great to hear from you mate and yes, I always love the moment of ‘inception’ when someone mentions a fragrance that I own, I too instantly have to hunt it down and wear it while I listen😂 it heightens the experience. I’m glad that you raised the point of maceration as Xerjoff (and other premium brands) have the glory of using good oils that only enhance over time (as long you look after your bottle!). Interesting that fennel is popping for you; such an invigorating herbal note. I recently tested Pure White Cologne and yes, awesome. Will hunt down Conduit St and have to test this one……great to hear from you Mark, thanks for jumping into the conversation

[@EMCUEAY]

Really good to hear about Citrus, Marcelo. The only thing I've ever used with Neroli in it was this body oil which absolutely slapped, it was by Rodin (now out of business, and was marketed to women, a great product regardless) and I get that hit of neroli when I use it. Its funny how people can cherish bottles even if they largely the same in distribution the world over, but somehow resonate with the place where they were personally discovered. I admire. Also, the SMN History is well storied, I haven't visited the Florence store yet but its a good reference point especially in contrast with how the Creed conversation was going last week. I ended up buying several bars of the Vetiver and a couple of the Tobacco Toscano bars and its just such a great Palazzo/Priory/Pharmacy. Look forward to the next theme, disappointed no-one has said Seminalis yet though. xD

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Hey Quasim, great to hear from you buddy. Awesome purchase of the Tobacco Toscano and Vetiver, both favorite of mine from SMN. Funny, I actually filmed/shared more on the history of SMN (because I’m totally in love with these guys) and had to cut it out because it was too heavy on them and the balance was off on the other perfumes in front of me😂….I’m going to have to do an episode just on them (did you know that the monks actually were treating patients during the Black Plague! That’s how old and well respected the work that these monks were doing….awesome history) As always, wonderful to hear from you my friend

[@EMCUEAY]

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector That's excellent Marcelo, I knew that theres a rich history of friars and monks growing herbs and creating tinctures etc, but didn't know about SMN treating the plague. That is a pretty epic transition, from treating ailments and the Black Plague to what, some 8 centuries later and they're making beautiful bottles of sweet almond oil, soap and perfume. I really like when people work at the same thing for decades, let alone centuries! Mind blowing. Have a good week Marcelo 💪💪😀

@@steelersOducks Hey Ken, I just had a look and it seems that they have renamed it "Aqua della Regina".

Hope you had a lovely Easter with family and friends, Marcelo. Another excellent video. I went out and bought Renaissance after your video. Haven't tried any of the other fragrances you have there except for Wulong Cha. Personally, Wulong Cha is a bit synthetic and harsh at the start. Another Citrusy and tea-like fragrance that I think you would love is Ormonde Jayne Qi and Tanger. Would love to see some florals next time. Oh, and will you show us your whole collection one day??

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Interesting that you find Wulong Cha harsh on the opening and synthetic. I've read this comment from other perfume lovers....I don't get either of these things. Great choice on Renaissance, did you get a chance to test first or did you just jump in?🤔 Thanks for the 2 Ormonde Jayne recommendations. I'm doing a masterclass on this brand shortly and I'm certain that the 2 that you suggested will be in the line up (can't wait! I love Ormonde Man🧡🧡, so can only image how great the other fragrances will be) And, yes...I've had a few people ask me about seeing the collection. In truth I feel embarrassed showing all the perfumes in one location😂 My father always gives me a hard time that I'm crazy and that not even in 6 life times will I use all the perfumes I have, so to see them all in one video😳....but yes, will do this one day, promise Thanks for reaching out Ben, great to hear from you my friend🙏🏼🧡

which would you go for if you had to choose between Wulong Cha and Bergamotto Di Calabria by PMC

Awesome, but tough question David😰 Wulong Cha: is underrated, hidden gem; so the scent profile is really unique. Great sillage and longevity for a 'citrus' tea fragrance. Compliment getter Bergamotto: is THE best true to life Bergamot fragrance out there. It can be it's own perfume with up to 5 hours of longevity; but it's magic power is in being able to layer this with ANYTHING! This one bottle will now help transform a hundred other perfumes into something unique My recommendation???🤔 Re-negotiate with your 'Financier' and see if you can get both😬 (that would be my strategy😉) Good Luck David!💫

Hey Sholahuddin, Great to hear from you. If I had to choose between the two I would go with Renaissance… this is a bright citrus with some green/fresh components to it, which makes it lean masculine.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! Is it possible that the SMN cologne you refer to is the “Acqua della Regina” shown on their website? I’m wondering if it has had iterations to it’s name. Thank you, once again!

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Great to hear from you Anna; thank you for the kind words. Yes, I had another subscriber ask me the same question and turns out that it’s been renamed “Acqua fella Regina” as you’ve noticed on their website….which makes sense as this is the classic that started with Caterina♥️👸🏽

[@_-Anna-_]

It really is a beautiful scent. Have you tried their potpourri (not the cologne but the actual home scent potpourri)?? It’s utterly divine. I have it in small bowls all around the house!

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Haven’t tried their potpourri range yet Anna, but I can image that it would be amazing. I’m a big fan of their fragrances and skin care range…this is the main area that I’ve explored.

[@davercountingcigars]

You the man. Great video. Amazing list. I just added my new favorite scent and it happens to be citrusy. Bergamask by Otto Parisi. UNBELIEVABLE. Stay safe my brother 👍👍👍👍

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

No you the man, Dave😎 Great choice with Bergamask....this one will put hairs on your chest⚡️💥

Hi Marcelo, what would you have me wearing if I told I use citrus and pine beard oil. I wanna Layer my Colonge beard oil, and a woody bidy wash

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Great to hear from you Jason and I would say off the bat Renaissance would be a perfect compliment to your beard oil scent. My guess is that the oil isn't overly pronounced but present...Renaissance will support it beautifully and not compete with it. The other one that I would suggest from this line up would be Perris Monte Carlo's, Neroli Mediterrano (this is one of my favourites). Again it will support your oil scent and not compete...plus is has a slight woody note in the base (awesome perfume). Try these as a start. Let me know if this works, would love to gain your feedback. Great to hear from you Jason, thanks for reaching out👊🏽

Great to hear from you @Major Flacko...hand on my heart this is always really hard for me (I've even said this on my one my episodes, it's like ranking my children😩..."but I love them all equally") But I also understand what you're asking. The best way I've answered this question in the past is to find out what you're looking for ie a good citrus fragrance for the office or for going out. I can then rank them personally for you based on this...let me know if that works for you. Thanks again @Major Flacko, appreciate you reaching out👊🏼

Hello. I just started following your channel and I went to watch all your passed videos. Wowwwww. I did not know that you were in Melbourne. I watch a lot of perfume reviews from other people on KZbin. But I'm so so sooo glad that I finally come across you. I also love Pepe video channel. You both should make a video together one day maybe😊. He is in Melbourne also and he has a channel on youtube. But I really really really really Loveeeee your videos. Great job. I am a niche lover and it been 4 years since I started my little collection. Have a wonderful day and thank you so much. Hope to see a new video from you very soon. Have you ever think of some sexy cosy Elegant fragrances reviews? . 🌞. Thank you.

[@abeladames9625]

Niche white floral for men

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Off the bat I would recommend "Tamarindo by Memo".....White florals can be a bit soft on a man and you still want a little bit of a masculine edge. Tamarindo has a 'green pineapple' note on the opening and Patchouli in the base, and these notes plays well with the Jasmine and Tuberose in the heart. I own this one and use as a summer day fragrance....good luck!!

Where can I purchase Santa Maria Novella Classica?is it very long lasting?

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

You have to remember that all the SMN are eau de cologne's so they will never out last an eau de parfum. Personally I get a comfortable 4-5 hours from this particular perfume. Where abouts are you in the world Jimmy? If you're an Aussie, they have a SMN boutique in Sydney....or you can jump on their website, I believe they deliver anywhere in the world

Yep, I hear you Daniel. The good news is that only the Santa Maria Novella is eau de Cologne, hence why I made sure to mention this so there's no confusion on its performance.
