[@vivianagbegha2712]

Great list

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

@@vivianagbegha2712thank you.

[@thinklilly2708]

Gentle fluidity gold, grand soir, BR Ex and oud Satin mood are my favorites if I add another one I would go for a fresh one.. thinking of the new one 724

[@antoinekrauze8805]

We need to stop talking about Absolue Pour Le Soir. I can’t take it anymore because I dream of smelling it. Actually…. maybe it’ll make them to bring it back. Let’s harass them for a re-release!!

[@HeavenSReal427]

Lol

[@raq79]

Yes!!

[@n123k6]

I have a decant and it smells like cat pee so you’re probably not missing out much

[@antoinekrauze8805]

@@n123k6 😂😂😂 I feel much better about it.

[@JonathanGentry-dl4yz]

I sampled Oud Satin edp and extrait side by side and think you would greatly prefer the extrait! It has the same intense style that the other Oud extraits do but with that smooth vanilla of the satin mood. Absolutely gorgeous scent

[@nicholesmith4699]

I’ve only gotten into fragrance the last few months, and am working my way through a lot of samples I’ve ordered. The notes on BR540 didn’t interest me at all, but I wanted to try it as a point of reference since it is so commonly referred to. I finally tried it yesterday (extrait) and my gosh, I fell in love. As a fragrance newbie I’ve found it so interesting that fragrances with notes I love haven’t impressed me, and vice versa. Doesn’t bother me that BR540 is so popular, I live in a small town, and I wear fragrances for me anyway.

[@kadeemharper1]

Great video, thank you for taking the time to make this! My top 4 would be: 1. Oud Satin Mood EDP 2. Gentle Fluidity Silver 3.Grand Soir 4. Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait

[@LeMale96]

Looking forward to this new series, love this channel, keep the content coming Seb!

[@pradbitt]

My favorites in no order and in my opinion the only MFK you’ll need Lhomme A La Rose (office business ) BR 540 Extrait (club / dance/ party) Aqua Universalis Forte Eau De Parfum (casual weekend daytime) 724 (office casual) Grand Soir (cocktail / lounge) Aqua Media (beach / pool) Oud Silk Mood Eau De Parfum (black tie)

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it and I like MFK oud satin mood extrait and I'm going to try the rest of the house and have a blessed day

[@ems_h.eartnotes]

The only MFK I own is Petit Matin. It's actually my favourite spring fragrance, I like to wear it most in May when the hawthorns bloom, as that is one of the notes and the scent of warmed hawthorn in the spring air is one of my most favourite scents ☀️

[@Alex501X]

It is so good

[@ems_h.eartnotes]

@@Alex501X I'm glad you like it too

[@emreirki95]

Top 5 for me is: 1 - Gentle Fluidity Silver 2 - 724 3 - Baccarat Rouge 4 - Aqua Universalis 5 - Masculin Pluriel

[@AunH]

I love the regular Oud Satin Mood edp over the extrait version. The oud in the extrait version is just doing too much for me to enjoy. I do however prefer BR540 extrait over the regular BR540. I also really enjoy A La Rose 😎

[@Nursegirl7677]

Thanks for the video. Can’t wait for more in this series. Appreciate your time. Have a great weekend everyone.

[@meljohn550]

Love this idea. Can’t wait to see your top 12 for other houses. ❤❤❤

[@debrajane7622]

Great new series on the channel, Sebastian! Excited for more of these! ❤

[@willoraha1969]

Great review Sebastian Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video

[@ladyexpenses7279]

I’m jealous of how gold your GFG is! The new version turned PURPLE so fast

[@Principemostprincipe]

Great list, i prefer grand soir over absolut pour le soir. I prefer br540 extrait over edp but edp is on my wearing list at least once a month

[@syooni_back]

I have Lumiere Noire pour femme with me and it's one of my favourite fragrances. It's a combo of Narcissus(very prominent)+Rose+Patchouli. Great for night outs with my close friends and family, especially in late spring.

[@justavideodiary]

I like the series. I'd love a bit of a background story to each houses also. How did they come about/their identity/famous noses that sort of thing.

[@MikeLitirous]

Many of these I haven’t smelled, some of these sound extremely enticing but the two that I hold near and dear are Baccarat and Satin Mood. Regardless of what some may say, those two are solid 10s 💪🏽🔥

[@nicholo1]

Would be more curious to hear a top career ranking of FK’s work. Thinking of narciso for him/her, gaultier, eau noire, etc alongside his fragrances in mfk

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/imaUY5afdralh6ssi=SJtZJ9sW9WwEhbQf

[@bootso8111]

I like aqua universalis cologne forte because you always smells fresh, the hair cologne is also the best!

[@penelopebellavia7356]

A la Rose Homme is such a good summer scent even if targeted as masculine still has that elevated fresh vibe for hot days & Oud Silk is 5* and baccarat is now too much its everywhere esp at airports

[@banditgrovmalet]

As a big fan of yours, I'm surprised you left out Masculin Pluriel. Reminds me so much of the 80's and the early 90's. Funny story - I came across this fragrance when Nikki Sixx from Mötley Crüe did an Instagram post about this fragrance. It's just wonderful. Funny story - when I was in my teens I was into heavy metal and tried to get autographs from every band that came to town (Goteborg/Sweden). Back in '84 I actually met Nikki Sixx and he overdosed (heavily) on Lagerfeld Cologne....and so did I! 😅 Great post this one. Enjoyed it a lot!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I would have been 13 and Petit Matin at 14! ;)

[@babaganoush1775]

Sebastian, which stronger, deeper ambers have you moved on to? Great video. Bought Grand Soir because of you.

[@julia_galkina]

Thank you for the great review! Ciel de Gum is forever in my heart, my childhood memories intertwined with the cinnamon aura around you that it creates when you wear it (and yes, I immediately checked if my bottle has the image of the Gum roof, it does, I wasn't aware of it, thanks for pointing that out). Grand Soir is my "theater tonight" scent.

[@jtshimp]

Grand Soir my favourite!

[@escenciasublimes]

For me 1-oud extrait 2-grand soir 3-aqua celestia forte 4- Baccarat extrait 5-petit matin 6-oud satin mood 7-gentle fluidity silver 8-men ala rose

[@Nyx_Nyx]

Great video Sebastian, I think I'm going to love this series. Aqua Celestia is my favorite MFK frags, I'd choose the original and forte over Aqua Universalis. Celestia is my ultimate white t shirt fragrance.

[@yukiaditya7352]

So beautiful and crisp indeed.

[@apprentice008]

i really enjoy Amyris Homme EDT and Masculin Plurie, both masterpieces.

[@Janey791]

I enjoy absolue pour le soir, but I really love the sheer wearability of cologne pour le soir.

[@funeka691]

Grand Soir is my favourite MFK and my favourite amber.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

It’s been a great Amber!!

[@StationOutlook]

I'm just now about to get into MFK and I'm so excited.. preparing my wallet as I speak

[@janusquiamco7128]

I discovered mfk through this channel, and my current favorite is l’homme a la rose. I’m a bit miffed it’s not on this list, but i understand it’s all subjective. Maybe i would’ve loved one of the discontinued scents, if i had the chance to smell them.

[@joannam5566]

Oh I was waiting for this video🤗🤗🤗 I love this house for high quality, Francis is a genius for me, Baccarat Rouge 540 extrait is the most fantastic scent in the world❤❤❤❤❤. Great list!!!!

[@Cate98765]

I love grand soir so much! I have a lot from mfk… they’re my easy reach fragrances

[@OceanluvOC]

I can no longer stand Baccarat Rouge 540. I will not replace whenever I run out. At first I loved it but that was short lived. I like the Extrait much more. That one I will replace when I run out. I’m not familiar with the discontinued ones. I love Grand Sior ❤

[@lovli31]

This is a good series idea!😊

[@MarkPollard]

Wearing Grand Soir right now, this was the perfect video today lol.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

Thank you for this. I am looking forward to this new series.

[@jasvirsandhu1158]

That is a great idea 👏🏼👏🏼

[@noahbirchy]

Excited for this!

[@drev2388]

I might be a bit of an MFK fan boy. Top 5 are: 5. Amyris Homme EDT (or Extrait) 4. masculin Pluriel 3. BR540 2. Oud Satin Mood EDP 1. Grand Soir

[@noursleiman1306]

Apologies if I missed whether this was in order or just your top 12 in general but your top ones are my favourites but in order 1) Oud Satin Mood 2) Gentle Gold 3) BR 540 4) Gentle Silver 5) 724 6) Grand Soir

[@tinahallquist6936]

I really enjoyed this video. I am totally addicted to Baccarat 540 Extrait. ❤ I also love OUD. Someone today asked what I was wearing. I told her OUD. She said it is such a warm, wonderful fragrance. I also love Gentle Fluidity!

[@JohnKennedy-kh3eu]

For you to have Gentle Fluidity Silver in your Top 3, I agree indeed.

[@mrrob4590]

I really enjoy masculine pluriel it’s a great metallic lavender that smells clean cut and it always gets me compliments I think it gets a bad reputation because of its sweetness in regards to more traditional fougeres but I find it to be a great pick to wear in the spring with blue slacks and a crisp white shirt or even a nice blue suit

[@Aaronllll]

Do you have the new formulation or old? i have the reformulated 2023 version the liquid is now yellow/clear and not grey/purple. and it seems as though the sweetness has been dialed down alot. I did email customer service about this if it was reformulated but they just said its same formulation but they took the dyes out.

[@mrrob4590]

@@Aaronllll I have an older bottle I can see why they took the dyes out as mine has changed color slightly despite keeping it in the dark

[@janiceg7661]

Great list! I’ve been through two bottles of Al a rose and enjoy that one. ❤

[@bink6177]

My favorites are gentle fluidity silver & Amyris Homme extrait

[@mrrob4590]

Just found a decent of absolou pour le soir online and ordered a 15 ml. I’m hoping it’s agreeable to me. It’s coming from a trusted seller so I’m hoping it will be authentic

[@Jccjdclsc]

Appreciate your reviews sir’

[@AndyBarbosa96]

Own a few MFKs. My wife's favorite "A la rose". My favorite "Cologne pour le matin" which predates Petit Matin and is only available as a 200ml flanker, at their main store in Paris.

[@Terence_317]

Oud satin mood extrait and satin mood all day everyday 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Ooh

[@patrickbateman4541]

Cashmere mood is my favorite oud ever. I was lucky to find a old bottle of it from 2014.....❤️

[@elani6507]

For me, Masculin Pluriel and Amyris homme EDT and extrait parfum should be in my top 10. Great list though!

[@HeavenSReal427]

Edp540 is my to-go scent layer and the world is yours ( a lab in fire ) 👌🏼 combo. Grand Soir and Pour Le Soir ❤.

[@vivianagbegha2712]

Lumière noire means black light or dark light. It sounds like an awesome perfume. I’ll hunt it down.

[@iSugarRushO]

Some pop up from time to time on eBay but they go for close to 1000$

[@latoysondorbooksandfilms]

Nice video! Iw ore Grand Sour yesterday and Roja's Piere de Velay 4 today - very similar powdery ambers with a slight aromatic and boozy twist, but the Roja is in another league completely. If you have a chance you might want to check it out.

[@badmotorfinger007]

Surprised that you haven't even gotten a decant of Satine Mood Extrait. You should. To me, Extrait is exactly what I want in an extrait, the edp fragrance smell, but stronger and longer lasting. It is turn to 11, and it is the better of the 2, try to get your nose on it and it will definitely replace the EDP.

[@iking317]

I like this….i can’t wait for Rosendu Mateu I’m enjoying this house

[@alex.ginola]

My 12 Best Of All Time 1. Oud Satin Mood Edp 2. Gentle Fluidity Silver 3. Amyris Homme Extrait 4. Grand Soir 5. L' homme A La Rose 6. BR540 Extrait 7. Aqua Universalis Cologne Forte 8. Oud Silk Mood Edp 9. Oud Edp 10. Gentle Fluidity Gold 11. Feminine Pluriel 12. 724

[@nicolaisidek]

I just got a bottle of Dior Oud Ispahan because I smelled the miniature and it reminded me of my Oud Silk Mood EDP which I was down to my last spray. For some reason I was totally wrong or my new bottle of Oud Ispahan hasn't 'matured' enough. MFK does oud fragrances so beautifully and I will never get over that. I would need to get a bottle of Silk Mood again. I just wonder how does Satin Mood compare to it?

[@OnlineJeeper]

What is that radioactive juice by your left shoulder? Amazing video by the way. I'm new to your channel, and found it when looking for review videos on the Grand Soir. All the scents sound amazing, but that's the one I want to get my nose on the most. Cheers

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Sadly I don't know which you are referring to.

[@OnlineJeeper]

​@@ThePerfumeGuy Your left within the video, but on the right side of the screen from the viewer perspective. There's that bottle of bright green fragrance haha. In the shelves closer to you, not those shelves in the back. I was just wondering which fragrance that was

[@eatumeboshi]

One of my favorite house. Have the followings: -Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait -Grand Soir -OUD satin mood -Aqua Universalis Forte Waiting to add Petit Matin to my collection

[@FayeCNL]

Ooh how very exciting wonder if oud satin mood will make the cut....we will find out now!!

[@donnahibler8374]

Tried the baccarat Rouge 540. And loved it, for the two minutes I could smell it. But, for some reason, I think my nose can’t smell it after a few first whiffs. 😢.

[@GEORGIA385]

Oud satin mood extrait baccarat rouge extrait gentle fluidity gold amyris femme EDT & Grand soir are my top 5

[@Key-zl4qg]

i own grand soir, br540 extrait, oud satin mood edp & the extrait. next im going for gentle fluidity silver

[@stephflores1799]

I do have both Oud Satin edp and Extrait. The Extrait has a good performance, sillage and projection just like the 540 Extrait which is better than the 540 edp. But I still like both edp and extrait 😍

[@caseyplunkett6083]

Just saying what’s up Sebastian. I’m interested in this brand. For years now everything has been uninspired.

[@ashwathirajakrishnan3298]

Your fav is my fav too 😃😃I get the make up vibe and too little oud in oud satin mood and that really disappointed me. But the gently fluidity gold is absolutely lovely. Also adore the br540 extrait. The performance is beastly

[@tjvbham5831]

Amyris Homme has always been a favorite for me. Great year round scent. I wish Lumiere Noire was still available. Well done list, Sebastian.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Same to you!

[@elisfragrance]

[APOM] by Maison Francis kurkdjian is one of the 3 best orange blossom perfumes I’ve sniffed, however something in Apom unsettles me. It has a sweetness and rawness I can’t describe that should have been tapered with mixing with harsher citrus accords to make it more acidic or can I say zestier? but hey, I’m a sucker for orange 🍊 perfumes.

[@nefarious_saint]

Which amber fragrances did you move on to after grand soir?

[@xAvi-PR]

I personally feel there should be more videos featuring discontinued fragrances. Because of videos like these , I’ve been able to add CH Men Prive and the really cool Sean John 3am. I found a little mom & pop store that had a few discontinued stuff and luckily I had heard about these 2 recently so I snagged them

[@ulrichschwarz110]

What about Masculin pluriel? I love this classic fougère.

[@tierrabrown1200]

Is Absolue Pour le Soir any relation is smell to Grand Soir?? And yes I loved Aqua universalis forte the moment I smelled it🥰 I didn’t know you were going to actually compare the two later in the video. Great video… you’re always so informed. Thank you for sharing 🥰

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

They are both ambers but different and from what I have heard APLS became Grand Soir .

[@tierrabrown1200]

Oh I didn’t see you had responded already🤦🏽‍♀️😂 But yes I figured by their names that they were closer in notes. Thank you for your response. Great video

[@isabellamarkov]

Grand Soir and oud satin mood the best fór me😍👍

[@clubbersguidenewyork9]

Just got Gentle Fluidity silver- divine❤

[@paulvallandigham6701]

I love the extrait of BR540. I'm also a fan of Grand Soir. You said you've moved on to more intense ambers, Sebastian. Have you done a video on these?

[@hassan-tb3ey]

[@boogiedaddy3434]

I would love to find a bottle of Absolue Pour le Soir. I just missed it when I got into MFK. I also missed Cashmere Mood and would like to at least smell it at some point. I love Satin Mood Extrait, it's in my top 5 of my collection for sure.

[@b__ty]

absolue pour le soir might be reformulated and rereleased according to a review on fragrantica that said FK wanted to give it a new impetus. hopefully it does come back so i can get my nose on it :)

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Reformulated scares me. But we shall see.

[@Alvaru78]

oh wow how random this is but thats my review hahaha I'm glad people noticed it! ❤

[@91vansuuuu]

Agua Media cologne Forte deserved to be on the list

[@maxcorvus1174]

Most of his stuff is far too mainstream for my tastes, however, I do prefer Narciso Rodriguez For him EDT ❤

[@iFrankie.]

I’m debating hard on oud satin mood EDP or extrait

[@litespeed65]

AplS is nearly impossible to find and will cost $$$$, they need to bring it back. I do have it’s predecessor, Cologne pour le Soir. Our bottle of Ciel de Gum is nearly full, only worn a few times- need to wear it more often. IMO, Grand Soir is one of the most elegant scents in the World- sheer luxury. The current house has sadly been diminished.

[@tovlirami1711]

Excellent list 💙💚

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Thank you! 😁

[@stellarussell9666]

Amyris Femme. Love the smell

[@lunamypet]

My top Oud Silk Mood Extrait and Grand Soir.

[@jennp023pr]

Question ⁉️ had anyone layered BR540 with BR540 extrait? What does it do? Does it amp it up? Cancel out? Goes sweeter? More bitter? Im so curious!

[@aromx]

Love the Ouds but I'm conflicted. The Oud Silk Mood seems a bit more versatile for most situations over the Oud Satin Mood. And is the regular Oud EDP better than the Oud Extrait? What do others think?

[@yukiaditya7352]

I prefer Oud Edp to the extrait. Easy going and smells really good. I guess the only fragrance that made my friend ran into me just to ask what fragrance i wear...lol

[@aromx]

@@yukiaditya7352 it does smell really good!

[@pullingthestrings5233]

I've noticed that when you layer gentle fluidity silver and gold you kinda get vibes of intense Cafe. Let me know if you also get that.

[@moniquedjian]

BR 540 Extrait and Grand Soir (Yes, very sexy) are my favs. Thanks, Sebastian!

[@pataterisoecozze77]

I have Baccarat Rouge in EDP and extract version, and Oud Satin Mood Extrait. Too bad I can't smell BR extrait on me, I'm so frustrated!😢

[@ianokay]

I'm actually surprised Masculin Pluriel didn't make the list. I think anyone who left that scent trail would come across pretty amazing, and it could work for almost any age and situation. I think even after a sports game I could come out of a locker room with that on and smell high end, rejuvenated, clean, and fascinating. Maybe unorthodox, but I could consider it a sportier more energized Dior Homme in its style of class and elegance.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

It has been completely reformulated with a major color change. I haven't gotten my nose on the new fragrance so unfortunately I left it off!

[@lilagood1963]

Please do Floraïku! Give me all the tea!
