Congratulations and thank You for such a beautiful and interesting topic. I watched dozens of videos related to fragrances for work but nothing can even reach 20% of the details and informative of your video. They are all the same and repeating themself, they are like a kindergarden but yours is like a university. You gave us the basics and advice in which we can search for even other fragrances based on the personality, mood, position.

[@ACSmellsGood]

thank you Mike, you have beautifully summarized the intent that I had for doing this video :). I am glad you found this video useful.

[@Shiv00532]

Hi Ac, Firstly, I'm absolutely blown away you orchestrated this video, I have seen hundreds of fragrance reviews on youtube, but nothing compares to this video, ABSOLUTELY Amazing, it is like putting a stamp on my beliefs about perfumes, I always gravitate towards chypre, woody, aromatic and fougere and Oud too. Dior Savage was a staple in my dads closet and then it became a favorite of mine, having said that, my love is TF tobacco vanille and for relaxation vetiver note. Thank you for sharing such wonderful thoughts

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you Ronny, I am delighted you loved the video my friend :). I quite like your taste , you are definitely on the right path as far as classy choices go :)

Very well done. Thoughtful, helpful. You are a great credit to this community.

[@DaniloRod23]

My man, you are definitely getting this to another level. You are approaching to unexplored subjects, which, at least for me, are even more important than fragrance reviews. You're teaching how to think and then to decide. Better and better. I'm happy for you and thanks for this quality content :)

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you Danilo, I am delighted you enjoyed the video mate, I am trying to create such exclusive content as I think it gives you all a broader perspective on all things fragrance.

[@DaniloRod23]

You're doing it perfect, my friend!

[@paulhegarty8380]

I think I must be a deep fougere kinda guy.- A quite brilliant video. You are constantly raising the bar of the fragrance reviewing community. Undoubtedly the best review I've seen this year.

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you Paul, I am glad I am able to make videos on pertinent subjects mate. This sort of video gives people a framework to work with, which is of better value than a stipulated list I suppose :)

[@DPpl-nu6km]

So happy I came across your channel! I appreciate your immense insight into fragrances and how/when to wear the right fragrance for each occasion. More please!!

You nailed it with this video , this type of content is highly creative and it shows you're putting a lot of efforts and giving a lot of time to bring such videos. Sir amazing work and I can't thank you enough for doing this for your subscribers. Keep up the good work. Looking very sharp in suit and tie. By the way I come into your favorite category Deep thinkers so I'd be wearing deep fougeres now onwards. Waiting for the next part 😊😊😊😇

[@ACSmellsGood]

Haha Rohit, I can guess you are in which category my friend :)... and deep fougeres are amazing for thinkers. I am glad you enjoyed the video my friend :)

[@michaelmilner2090]

Enjoyable as ever, AC; nice suit. Great to hear your take on office scents - the personality types, notes, moods. Just a great exposition about functional scent style. Eagerly await your designer, niche lists so I can compare to mine, discover more. And shout out for Icon, of course, and Lalique Pour Homme's performance for price. LPH is so good for the office in colder weather. Memoir Man has been atop my sample list; adding Derby. So glad I own or have samples of about 8 of the scents you mentioned. Cheers!

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you Michael. Memoir Man will blow your mind, its gorgeous stuff :)

[@mikerobinson7694]

Looking very dapper in the suit AC. Quite topical for me you posting this one, most of my recent purchases being primarily for office use. Actually I've just acquired Eau Sauvage Parfum (2017 formulation) and I'm absolutely blown away by it. By all accounts it finds the middle ground between the 2012 parfum and the vintage EDT (the current EDT has been reformulated to death in my opinion). Great idea matching scents to personalities and moods. Some more ideas for my wish list too. Great stuff! 👍 🙂

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you Mike. I am yet to smell the current formulation of the Eau Sauvage mate, which I intend to soon.

[@anthonybee1981]

[@SamuelGustav]

You grab one of those typical "office scents" video, and take it to another new level, awesome video

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you Samuel, delighted you enjoyed it :)

[@beach_lion]

Wonderful details! Love the matching of personality types to fragrance types. That is always a very fun exercise. I think at my next interview or serious meeting, I will wear either Dia Man, Ambre Nuit, or Neroli Portofino. I feel like they all amplify my mood, and also bring an element of novelty to the table -- which is something I myself try to bring to the table :)

[@ACSmellsGood]

Absolutely fantastic choices , and I will go easy on the trigger with Ambre Nuit. Glad you liked the video concept.

[@beach_lion]

@@ACSmellsGood Thank you! Glad to hear that you think Ambre Nuit isn't too out of character for a professional environment. I love that scent just too damn much! But agreed -- I think 2 sprays 2 hours before a meeting would hopefully not be too offensive, it does seem to have a strong opening!

[@valuta42]

Prof,you are great with this lesson, thanks. 🤗

You welcome keep up the good work

[@J_M_E_83]

Excellent choices there my friend! Truly great taste!! Have you tried MDCI Invasion Barbare? If not, you certainly should! It's a masterpiece. Another one i can highly recommend would be the original Calvin by CK '1981'.. that one is literally the most professional and grown up scent i have ever tried, and i am lucky enough to own a bottle 🙂 And lastly, a fragrance that has a calming effect on my would be Comme de Garcons Man 2, simply BLISS in a bottle!

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thanks a lot mate, and yes I have tried IB and I have done a comparison video with 1725, you can check it out when you have a moment. Couldn't agree more on Man2, absolute class and yet to smell 1981.

[@stoyankostov9849]

Great review! Well structured and analyzed, love the perspectives and the time that you put in this one mate! You're right for some personalities - in the company that I work, our factory director wears - Guerlain - L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme eau Extreme, our production manager has Gucci Guilty & Chanel BdC - EDT, and I introduced my boss to Jo Malone's Wood Sage & Sea Salt, and it suits her rather ravishing. Now, since you mentioned shipra fragrances, I've found one very interesting fragrance from the house of Bottega Veneta - Pour Homme Parfum, I believe you should give it a try out. Have a great one mate, Stoyan

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you Stoyan, and yes I have reviewed Bottega Veneta pour Homme EDP mate, very hard to find here but very good indeed. Great taste :)

[@michaelpsions]

Another classy review as usual A,C, Beautifuly spoken and presented. A very fine and classy office scent I would like to recommend would be Richard James, Savile Row, it's round about £30.00 to £35.00, It's not widely reviewed but very beautiful all the same, Have you tried it?

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you Michael, and I have smelled Seville Row in a shop and quite liked it, I will have to hunt one down now mate :)

The part where you said: "Deep thinkers like deep scents", I had a smile on my face, because I'm a deep thinker and I love deep scents with a deep and special personality. I don't really like basic and hyped fragrances, I want to smell, feel, and act unique!

I hear you, I am a bit like that myself, and the travesty is most hyped fragrances don't work on me for some reason, I do try them.

Mr Majumdar, sorry for the late reply. Since you are in the profession of healing people to health I would say comforting notes like Camomile, Lavender, Sandalwood and Cyprus would be amazing. A few I would recommend would be : Houbigant Fougere Royale, Acqua Di Parma Sandalo, Tom Ford Vert d Encens and Amouage Dia Man. All of which I have reviewed, so you could check them out at leisure.
