1. Versace Dylan Blue 200ml $70 (Dumb Reach) 2. Azzaro Chrome Aqua 100ml $30 (Freshie) 3. Dolce & Gabana The One EDP 150ml $75 (Date) 4. Nautica Voyage 100ml $20 (Daytime) 5. Mont Blanc Explorer 100 ml $55 (Night Out) Only The One is not suitable for the office. You can pull off Dylan Blue and Explorer almost any time. Voyage is great for office or any tume during the day, especially during warmer months. The One is a Date Night special. Chrome Aqua is a perfect Summer fragrance.

[@paulweston8408]

I was so happy to see London on your list. It is such a great winter scent and I also love the bottle.

As a man who been wearing cologne for 25 years I would say this list is very balanced and well thought out.because as a purchaser this in my opinion is money well spent and you should be very happy.

Burberry london is a great scent Very well made , mysterious but still fresh

[@daithi1966]

As a beginner, I bought a variety of fragrances that were samples/minis from FragranceNet, ForeverLux, and ScentSplit. I'll use these to narrow it down to an everyday/office scent, maybe a Blue fragrance, and then a scent for Spring/Summer, and another for Fall/Winter.

[@laurisuurmaa2752]

Guerlain L´Homme Ideal Cologne was also one of my first fragrance purchases. It´s a must in any fragrance collection.

[@saintdiegobeatz6277]

This is the first KZbin vid I’ve seen that included Burberry London on their list. It’s an amazing fragrance and I’d wear it all fall and winter for daily use regardless of longevity. The smell is too great, I wish they made an edp

[@thetattooedguy1413]

[@TheFragranceDecantBoutique]

Great suggestions!

[@albertjemna6088]

You ended up the list with Burberry London, saying that it reminds people of Christmas :) I can agree with that. But man, these puppies I am about to list remind me of the Holidays even more than BL does ;) Dior Homme Intense Hugo Boss The Scent Intense (haven't tried the newer flankers yet) Van Cleef & Arpels Midnight in Paris Dolce & Gabbana The One EDP Armaf Niche Oud Versace Dreamer Now it may be just my personal experience, because I wore these fragrances during wintertime. But some of the notes are so christmassy and comforting, that you can't go wrong with any of them. And Great Video, as always! Although not a complete beginner in the fragrance game, I'm sure I'm gonna try some of the names you listed here today!

[@jr6786]

Prada carbon + ambrette 9 is a king mix. Big complement getter. Not sure how I ended up mixing the two but ambrette 9 on the skin and a single mist of carbon on the clothes is magical.

[@raulsaavedra709]

Great video! Now this makes me curious, you mention several categories, like warm vs. cool-weather colognes, then office, easy to wears, nightouts, etc. etc. I wonder how many and which are the basic categories a fragrance collector should have in mind? And then, for each of those categories, what would be some of the absolute top choices, regardless of price? That would be another very interesting "shopping spree" video, e.g. what total price would be reached? The video could also suggest the best beginner options for each category, but still with no price limitation, just affordability in mind, but still keeping the minimum scope of categories to consider

[@yogurtboy123]

All of your ideas have been done already, haha. Just search them up. Some categories are seasonal (fall, summer) others occasional (office, night out, date). Just search

[@ev767a]

Great list.

[@degeneratechris]

From a newbie, glad you mentioned prada carbon, I remember when I fell in love with the scent, now I know it's comparable to savauge which has been on my list for awhile now to test out. Took some notes, going to test some of these out and see what suits my nose. Thanks!

[@FrEaKsHoW9991]

as a beginner i bought a lot of zara fragrances, so by being able to experiment with clones makes it way easier to find out what you like and can pull off, so you won't waste any money going for blind buys of the originals later. example: if you buy - seoul (invictus clone) - lisboa (aqua di gio clone) - 8.0 (lacoste blanc clone) - 9.0 (valentino uomo clone) - vibrant leather (aventus clone) - gourmand leather (ultramale clone) - teahupoo (invictus aqua clone) - scent #1 (santal 33 clone) then you can basically make yourself familiar with 8 popular expensive designer scents for just 100$. and after gaining some fragrance experience with them, you can go to the originals that suit you best for the badass performance.

[@Rika906]

[@Dylan-zm3ht]

Honestly if I did it all over again I would pick up 4 decants instead of playing the designer roulett. 50 ml Decant of VIW-80 50 ml Decant of Aventus-85 25 ml Decant Tuscan Leather-60 10 ml Decant Tobacco vanille-25

[@Hoopla10]

This is also what I would do if I'm just starting again. I get why I wouldn't/didn't and so can't blame others. But getting my nose around some of the more niche(y) smells was the quickest way for me to find notes I like. It's one of the things missing I think in his list, something to challenge. Getting a sense of where fragrances can go once outside of the safer designers. Because the concept here I presume is that the newbie is marginally interested in fragrances. Otherwise they'd just buy a popular compliment getting fragrance and that's it.

[@MoahGentle]

This is a fragrance collecting beginner's guide and you put in Aventus and Tuscan Leather..

[@Hoopla10]

@@MoahGentle Decants being the important word. Aventus being one of the highest rated fragrances and TL being one of the highest rated leather fragrances. Or they could get a bunch of pretty generic cheap designers brands. Quality over quantity I guess.

1. Summer freshie (cheap, powerful) 2. Somthing 3 season safe (< $80) 3. Somthing special, a signature scent that's all occasion safe. (Rest of the budget) Prices based on online discounters 1. Ferrari Noble Fig 100ml ($15) 2. Montblanc Explorer 100ml ($70) 3. Your choice. For me I'd get Creed royal oud 50ml on discount for about $150

If I would have done my homework I wouldn’t of purchased Creed Aventus 2018 batch and purchased Armaf if I was just starting out. This is awesome. Yes yes.

[@WhyPee24]

I just got into fragrance a couple months ago, after saving up money from my first job ever (I'm 16). I should've researched a little more though, because I bought 3 different bottles, not realizing they're all kinda "fresh and clean". A little more diverse scents would've been better. I got Dior Sauvage EDP 3.4oz for $125 , Versace Eros EDT 3.4oz for $48.09, and D&G Light Blue 1.3oz for $27.94. Totals to $214. After ordering I found out through Jeremy Fragrance (despite him being called unreliable) that the Light Blue Intense is better, and the Sauvage EDT is better. One thing I highly recommend if money is tough, is to use payment services like Afterpay, Klarna, Quadpay, etc. because they let you split your purchases into 4 interest-free payments (not an ad). So instead of paying the $215 at once, I paid about $50 every 2 weeks. Its not that big of a deal anymore for me, but its a great option if you're young like me and don't make much, or don't want to blow it all. Now I have a whole list of fragrances I want to own "at some point" lol. My next 3 will probably be Spicebomb Extreme, Acqua di Gio Profumo, and Bleu de Chanel

[@Klmrc]

Are the perfume behind you all your collection? Or are they for sale? Do you have any recommendation of a site where we can buy decant or small sample sizes of the perfumes you mentiones especially the very expensive ones?
