Perfumer Blind Reacts To Popular Men's Fragrances | Men's Cologne/Perfume Review 2023

[@SchoolOfScent]

Thanks for watching guys! Do you want to see a video where Sam and I react and ‘analyse’ fragrances you suggest that neither of us have tried before similar to the last one here? :)

[@NiKoJlaY]

Yes please!

[@Fuder95Ibra]

Yes please! And keep it this way, dont show the bottle, because I like when he just doesn't know what the brand, what makes his opinion so honest and that what we wanna hear from expert like Sam!

[@Alakai123]

I’m gonna assume that was a rhetorical question but I’ll play along and say heck yeah!

[@Zazerban]

I totally want to see more like this. Also wanted to say, I’ve been enjoying Mr Maritime so much, and it just keeps growing on me. I literally have cravings to smell it when I’m not wearing it. Amazing job; I even bought a backup bottle.

[@fluw9707]

Yes and in that video please try lattafa shaykh al shuyukh luxe edition and maahir black!!!!

[@mohda.9420]

Love this format! Very engaging and immersive, but also very chill and laid back. Nice change of pace from the usually more short form, fast pace stuff on KZbin nowadays

[@eg042680]

Love Sam's lack of industry/community influence. Unabashed honesty is always refreshing and a perfumer's perspective is very interesting (i.e. ATH).

[@lukesoliman647]

I love when youtubers work with other youtubers in the same industry. Great work

[@clandestinecoherence]

0:29 happy to be 1 out of the 5 women who watch this channel hahaha

[@SchoolOfScent]

We appreciate you! 😆

[@michaelacarlstrom9733]

2/5 😅 would be fun to see you both do unisex/womens perfumes

[@TheMaskedOne716]

I wish all the youtubers would make videos like this together. Like gent scents,chaos, like do a collaboration video that would be sick

[@Phantom_Silver8]

I love honesty, and this is a really great reaction, and also thumbs up for Omar

[@PaulSwiftUK]

My two favourite KZbin perfume/aftershave personalities together. More of these please 🙂

[@daniellabuda7744]

I really appreciate you both. You are the best together with Aaron Terence Hughes. Absolutely best channels regarding perfumery in entire Internet. I love the vid!

[@gabrielgamboa1847]

Omar: I hate people giving the number 8 it should be banned. Sam: I give your perfume an 8 😂😂😂

[@SchoolOfScent]

Who’s James? 🤨

[@gabrielgamboa1847]

I didn’t even realize I wrote James 😭

[@snubbii9276]

Prada LHI shat upon by Sam and ATH, both slating it for too simple and too expensive. Omar nails it 10/10. AHEE is also 10/10.

[@apollo5261]

That's not true. ATH said he loves how Prada L'Homme Intense smells, but thought it was too safe and a bit too expensive for what it is. And he gave it a 7/10 because of those 2 points. Aaron always appreciates perfumery, even if it's not his cup of tea (i.e. Prada LHI).

[@wimgeuens8433]

Lovely format. Would be great to see you both try fragrances you never smelled before to see the initial reaction. Especially niche houses or hidden gems.

[@flightgravity7483]

Those notes for Baraonda are typical shot in the dark guesses from Fragrantica. Gaultieri never reveals the notes for his fragrances.

[@saimon_pap]

I loved the way he talked about Kouros! I feel the same about that perfume all the time! ❤ Wish that guy to be a new Piere Bourdon!

[@kepakepacho78526]

Perfect format, would love a double rating, one for technicality one for artistry.

[@plaubelmakina8916]

This guest teacher fits your school perfectly. I am enjoying his channel as well.

[@AubreyfromOregon]

outstanding video guys. love the insight. keep it up dude.

[@alvaromate8366]

I love the format. Great video.

[@riblet1000]

Great video. I love hearing a different opinion. This is especially true if it is from a perfumer. Well done.

[@Fuder95Ibra]

I cant be more agreed to his picks specially I still feel like Monkey special is my special special occasion scent, I always sniff it, but didnt wear it, I leave it to the special day when I will wear it, I have Prada L'hommr and allure extreme as well, and I don't understand why so hyped, theyre just good, not bad at all, overall, he nailed it, more videos like this Omar, that was interesting !

[@SonNguyen-zy2go]

Just wanted to say, i have been following you since you had 5k subs. Now you are at 160k WOW keep going 🔥

[@lgeiger]

I love Tony Iommi. I think it's not super versatile though, because it's projecting a lot and is quite boozy, leathery and sweet. It's definitely a night time scent you can even wear to the club. I think it's also very cozy and addictive.

[@shawnadamek2742]

Great format. Really unique. Do more :)

[@MrTheK1LL3R]

some parfumer: rates a fragrance 3 out of 10 me: instant buy, this shit will be the most mass appealing thing ever

[@airdropiscool1942]

can you feature top 10 men perfume in 2005? i dont know the name of that perfume im looking but it look like Jean Paul Gaultier in a can but cant find it in so it might be different.

[@Alakai123]

Omar you are the man. I really enjoy your very engaging videos

[@MENS_IMPROVEMENT]

It’s interesting how different perfumers think and what they think about different fragrances.

[@bearbearingston7696]

Love the idea as always, interesting how Sam seems to be a kind of "outsider" perfumer because he doesn't really adhere with the traditional style of mainstream perfumery as he respects but doesn't really go with the 60's powders, the 80's powerbombs or the 00's freshies. That means his work must be distinctively unique, will check his vids too

[@verybaguette]

I couldn't find a Xerjoff Torino21 review on your channel. Have you done one?

[@Seasniffer1969]

To me there is a consumer rating and a perfumer rating. I could see his conundrum on ranking frags, especially blindly. What's meh to him is what sells to the masses

[@curioclassicperfumeguide]

Great Review. Congratulations. All the best 👍

[@AffyR]

8/10 for kuros but 5.5 on prada lhomme intense and 3.5 on allure eau extreme, 🤣🤣🤣 who is this guy

[@MJR1117]

That's the worst mark I ever heard for Chanel Ahsee

[@maki6867]

One who knows what's up, that's who

[@tim_koch14]

Prada L'Homme Intense is also a 5-6 for me, tastes are different.

[@Ajibolaa]

No ducking way you got Sam on. I follow him and all his perfume making videos 😂❤

[@MJR1117]

strange take on Chanel Ahsee. In what world is it a 3.5/10?

[@AffyR]

Strange take on prada lhomme intense, it smells like a normal cologne you can just spray on? It’s hella unique not a clue what he’s on about, ATH (Aaron Terrence hughes) on top

[@snubbii9276]

ATH slated LHI for being too simple and too expensive

[@ManicMindTrick]

It's the most generic thing I ever smelled.

[@flightgravity7483]

A world where people don't agree about everything. I don't like AHSEE either.

[@MJR1117]

@@flightgravity7483 Aaron Terence Hughes doesn't like it as its not the type of fragrance that he would go for but he respects the quality of the perfumery & gave it an 8/10. this 3.5 guy is a bit clueless

[@sjmh280491]

I love Sam's vibe!

[@saimon_pap]

Very good and clever nose! He can smell the quality of new and old perfumery!

[@pranavgainz4180]

I came here for the CAHSEE rating since its my favorite.

[@triplea18]

Incredible Video! Omar have you tried Oudh 36 from the house of AlHaramain? I'd love to see a review! It's in the same realm as Amouage Jubilation XXV

[@misutatomasu]

Video idea: make him rate all Roja fragrances. (ask Roja for discovery sets)

[@anastasiosmitropoulos1989]

Great video!! Thanks!!

[@danylohromyak5228]

Yeah, people don't understand that everyone has different opinions on perfumery. I wouldn't buy most of the designers, but I love niche fragrances. Like you said, I love that he gives honest opinions on fragrances. Invite Aaron more, please!

[@SchoolOfScent]

It’s Sam, not Aaron 😂 And thanks, glad you appreciate this type of content 😊

[@danylohromyak5228]

@@SchoolOfScent Oh shit, my bad🫡

[@ssjammasternate]

I feel like Sam was thinking about the ratings too much, I know he’s a perfumer he’s taking into account a lot of things but it’s not that complicated either you like the fragrance or not either way nice collab Omar

[@keeper_cps5628]

Enjoyed this

[@kristianbalon5352]

Hey Omar, I’m also a fragrance content creator on Tiktok and I’m curious where do you get those clips. I mean you say “gentleman” and there is a guy with a suit, or “cherry” and there is a tree with cherries. It would help me a lot in my work! I would be glad! 🙏

[@watch3r9]

Well done boys!

[@dg6612]

Even with the preface about his opinion could change with more time with the fragrance people are still complaining about his initial perceptions…

[@ra.j7210]

Kourous was my signature and then they changed the formula to make it lighter . I’m so angry at ysl for shitting it up

[@MatevzRotar]

Has my man been hitting the gym ? I see a bit of a bicep vein. Respect 🙌🏻

[@becausealiens2996]

I absolutely love allure sport extreme. Funny how he dislikes it.

[@NiKoJlaY]

Lovely!

[@cristianconstantin46]

My last buy is was Baraonda ❤😅

[@sebastianwilson7995]

People in the comments almost convinced me Sam was gonna just blabber his way through the video but I think y’all just salty he didn’t like the Chanel

[@MJR1117]

No it's because he has a very basic take on perfumery in that he has to personally like the elements. I like Mango, I'll give an extra point. Its about respecting good perfumery aswell as personal preference

[@sebastianwilson7995]

@@MJR1117he was rating it subjectively not technically for the most part. Also if your favorite note showed up in fragrance and it was done well you’re telling me you would like it the same without it?

[@sebastianwilson7995]

These comments aren’t on other videos that have Sam in it. Y’all will doubt him but it’s just cuz he rated a fragrance you like low

[@philipface30]

I agree with Sam on the Chanel, I had to sell my bottle after 1 spray...it reminded me of an old car full of musty leather, shag carpet and a mix of those xmas tree air fresheners. I do love the normal Allure Homme Sport tho.

[@seetubemetube]

What's up with that Starbucks cup 🧐 I'm giving that a 1 out of 10.

[@mikebayong8057]

That was a great video

[@SamWayne85]

Did he say prada lhomme intense smells barbershop fougere? Man this guy needs to smell some coffee lol

[@travisn346]

AHSEE is a 10! God tier

[@tbiz8459]

💯💯💯

[@mikemobley9151]

I absolutely HATE how Tony Iommi smells. I was very excited to try it out and once I got it…I put it in the way back corner of my closet. It smells very off-putting to me, I will never wear it.

[@michaelbullock8011]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@onedadinplaid159]

Love the blind tests. I've smelled so many fragrances that reviewers have hyped, but then I get my nose on them, and I'm like... "Meh." Case in point, the Chanel fragrance. I don't get it. Thanks again, guys!

[@Smoke_C]

Agreed on all of these ratings. I love him bashing the community favourites. Prada L’homme intense and AHS extreme are dumpster fire fragrances. I wouldn’t pick them up if they were giving them out for free.

[@bawiso]

Have you tried the ordinary AHS ? And if so, how does it hold up against Extreme.

[@sathira_anuk5179]

You have a really bad taste, lol 😅

[@tomask9588]

I'd like to see this in reverse: Sam giving you examples of raw materials.

[@SchoolOfScent]

Subscribe to his channel and you just might ;)

[@jowse]

Your content is amazing! I'm a bit disgusted by all those "panty dropper" videos, they're awful and tacky, so it's quite nice to see nice and very fine content as yours.

[@noyasux]

yo im one of those 5 ladies watching lol

[@Itcoy]

Our favorite perfumer!

[@KAMlMARU]

Nice guy but I’m not confident he’s a genuine perfumer. Either that or he’s just an awful communicator. When you watch someone like this who a “perfumer” you want to see a little more knowledge being shared rather than vague consumer-esque comments.

[@rotta8548]

I mean you should check out his channel. He has his own indie fragrance brand

[@KAMlMARU]

@@rotta8548 That’s all well and good but he should be able to give a deeper response to fragrances. Surely that’s the idea of having a perfumer on your channel? To give a different angle of thought.

[@rotta8548]

@@KAMlMARU I mean fair enough. But this is just a subjective review video and Sam might not know how detailed he should be. His own channel is for in depth diy perfumery where he gives much more info.

[@rotta8548]

@@KAMlMARU And he had an different angle of thought though. He gave the community favorites a bad grade because they didn't fit his tastes or lacked uniqueness

[@KAMlMARU]

@@rotta8548 That’s not what I mean. He’s judging them as a consumer. It would have been nice for him to break down the fragrances more and explain in depth. I’ve been in this game for a long time and I believe I could give a better break down than him judging from this video. I’m not saying anything bad about him. He just doesn’t sell himself well here, that’s all.

[@TomChiriatti]

I don't think he knows what he's talking about

[@AffyR]

This is the vibe I get as well

[@ncpmadhead]

Such a ignorant comment, at the beginning people said the same shit about aaron terence hughes and how wrong were they now?? these guys are perfumers they know more about fragrance than you will ever know in your lifetime. If you listened to the video perfumers don't seem to smell much outside of their own work

[@MJR1117]

​@@ncpmadhead Aaron Terence Hughes gave Chanel Ahsee an 8/10 even though he admits he doesn't like it personally. that's because he can respect quality perfumery even if it's not his preference. unlike this guy..

[@Smoke_C]

Ignorance is bliss.

[@chcknball185]

​@MJR1117 when ATH first started reviewing he would Bach on everything

[@awedee.0]

baraonda only gave me whiskey and wood i couldnt smell anything else

Don't care. Prada L'Homme Intense is at 10/10.

[@valdinasution8698]

2/10 and 4/10 for prada l'homme intense this guy is bullcr*p

[@maddoxthegreatcanecorso7150]

3.5 for eau Extreme? Get out 😂

[@ameyer3408]

I have to agree with him about the Chanel. Normally a big fan but this one is awful

[@pumpuibuffet]

I think the term "perfumer" is being used rather lightly here...
