[@AndreasHamberg]

I love oud for greatness but rarely wear it as it’s a bit on the challenging side. However Haltane smells just as good if not even better and is a lot more wearable 10/10. Also light blue intense is the most overhyped fragrance ever, but hey if you wanna smell like sea salt go for it my guy!

[@srenkristiansen2793]

Light blue intense is the only fragrance I've ever owned where someone actively told me they did NOT like the fragrance I was wearing lol.

[@Goosh342]

You should really give Reserve Privée another try Omar, it is really similar to DHI but the whiskey and chestnut give it a whole other vibe when taken in comparison. Great reactions as always tho

[@SchoolOfScent]

Fair enough bro will do, thanks for watching!

[@carloscr2732]

​@@SchoolOfScent Calling it "a poor man DHI" it's just wrong, thats actually been so basic like you said about Alex Costa

[@Goosh342]

@@--------RR007---------- Dior Homme Intense is great (arguably better), but Reserve Privée deserves more than being called a poor man´s DHI hahaha, I do respect the opinion because they are both woody iris fragrances, but RP has great boozy and chocolatey/chestnut accords that makes it very interesting and different, not necessarily better, just different and not a direct downgrade of DHI

[@LadiesLovesClaw]

No!

Utter nonsense. Senthil Fragrance is leagues ahead of these guys in terms of quality. In fact they both poach ideas out of his videos.

[@user-dv4vv1th5j]

@@user-pb3jp6kz6z never heard about him before. I checked his channel and it's just usual top 10 woman killer bullshit, I'm sorry. I love fragrance apprentice the most for his creative video ideas, historical analysis and impeccable descriptiveness when it comes to explaining different fragrances. What ideas can he possibly steal from a top 10 channel with just a few videos lol

[@abd78638]

Hey Omar! Next video you should show us all your favourite fragrances in your collection and your weekly/monthly fragrance rotation. Another video you could do and show us all your fragrances in your collection.

[@MMM-qw1wl]

Alex Costa is more of a fashion enthusiast more than a fragrance lover.

I never understood Omar dislike for the Gentleman line .. i like the Reserve Privee line myself but i guess i could try Dior Homme intense. Is it similar?

[@DenisDenis-nv2nr]

Bro if you do not get goosebumps when spraying some amazing petumes that you like something is wrong with you 😂

[@FallenKiid]

Gentlemen Privee doesn’t smell like cheaps man dior homme intense…

[@samethingsmakeuslaughmakeuscry]

Well I only have 5 parfums in my collection, so I'm still a beginner. But I just wanted to give my 2 cents about Givenchy Gentleman. I own a bottle of the original one (not the Reserve) and I honestly think it's very underrated. I always get a ton of compliments when I wear it and it lasts a long time. It's not too expensive too so it's definitely worth it and a good all around elegant fragrance

[@bjallanah5233]

Hello Omar, I was wondering what fragrances to get as a teen and im very happy thst you realeased that video. Where can i find a video for affordable einter fragrances?

[@DylanMotivation]

Alex is just gonna promote fragrances that are gifted through PR

[@ramagazzo]

That's why we like you Omar, becouse you stay sober and serious/elegant while still being enjoyable 😊 I think people is pretty tired of influencer that just spit out opinions without motivating decently

[@LadiesLovesClaw]

What do you mean…ur talking bullshit just bec he has a other opinion than every other fragrance youtuber?.?Ou dont need to motivate anybody with fragrances just tell your opining nd evrybody needs tomtest for himselfe!i think ppl get tired of comments like urs

[@ramagazzo]

@@LadiesLovesClaw I don't agree you can motivate why you chose one fragrance over an other, what you like and what you don't, many KZbinr just say "woo incredible...super attractive" and bla bla that's just dumb

[@stevegould7252]

Alex has gotten a tad bit better....Omar you're not a hater, that's your honest opinion and I can respect that...furthermore I think you're on point 👌

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day

[@alejandroxan]

I love D&G LB Forever, and I do not care for LB Intense. It has this cloying aquatic note in it and I can never get past it.

[@ousemaayari4131]

Nice videos love how you re accurate in the alternative and describing the parfums

[@Jason-Moon]

Noir extreme parfum: Poor longevity on this one but I really enjoy the smell of it. I don't really like Tom Ford's whole branding- he just seems really pretentious to me, but man I can't deny this fragrance smells great. It just fades in like 2 hours. I got a bottle of it anyway even though I don't wanna support that dude cuz I don't like his vibe, and the performance sucks. Against all of that criticism- I still got it because it smells so damn good

[@margaretmagno2261]

I buy all my grandsons their colognes and I agree with him. Those are my favorite and they think so too...

[@bawiso]

Get in ! Hey, Omar. Quick question with little context; Tom Ford Grey Vertiver or Chanel Platinum Egöisté?

[@IanJamesBeats]

Another great video Omar. I think the best summer scent is Creed Erolfa haha!

[@Ruicarvalho5]

Hey Omar is your brand thinking about shipping to Portugal and other places in Europe in the future ? Great video!

[@SchoolOfScent]

Unfortunately not in the near future, and thanks!

[@ericdickerson9080]

I see Dior home intense and givenchy gentleman mentioned a lot... Have you tried under my skin by francesca bianchi? For iris I'd take that one over those.

[@darrenmaloney761]

Dior homme cologne or JV artisan pure are good alternatives to light blue intense

[@Paull19]

Greetings Omar! I'm looking to add a tobacco-based perfume. What do you recommend? Of all the ones I tried Naxos and PDM Herod impressed me. What would you recommend?

[@SchoolOfScent]

Naxos, ATH Tabac, Montabaco Intensivo, D&G The One EDP, Al Haramain Amber Oud Tobacco Edition (fantastic TF TV clone), Red Tobacco Intense, Hafez 1984, take your pick 😅

[@naenaeking1738]

[@ethansawyer9399]

GG reserve prive is pretty nice. It's boozy, has a little bit of a chocolate thing going on and lasts a long time.

He did a top 10 of his collection what do you mean don’t overdo it by not talking about getting goosebumps… if your top 10 isn’t all fire and gives you goosebumps what are you really doing with your top 10.

[@guayaquilindependiente8763]

I hate Acqua Di Gio Profumo… I think it smells like an old man, and it’s just too heavy… definitely dislike it.

[@rickbradlytchahatchokonthe9614]

I don't understand how I got on this side of KZbin but yeah I'm an amateur now 🤣

[@ThePhenomenalLife]

To be clear what is it you want?Best fragrances or most interesting??

[@cuttingedgevintage]

I think those are good frags but he probably gets paid to stay in the designer realm with what he recommends or just plays it super safe so he reaches the biggest commercial audiences. Suspect that the only niche is PDM, hmmm. When staying in that realm those are good choices but I think there are even better designers out there. Overall they are non offensive and will get the job done.

[@user-ov7lt1tf9g]

Any recommendation for a high quality fougere that's not masculine pluriel(my twin wears it) or sartorial(could not find for a decent price)?

[@SchoolOfScent]

Depends how ‘mature’ You want it to be? There’s Beau De Jour, Eau Sauvage Parfum, Platinum Egoiste, ADP Colonia Essenza

[@user-ov7lt1tf9g]

@@SchoolOfScent i will be turning 22 in two months but am told by my friends that i am serious and mature for my age so something in the middle.

[@suissetobacco]

@@user-ov7lt1tf9g Depends a lot on your budget, but if you can swing it I’d go for Viking (edp not Cologne). I usually wouldn’t suggest a Creed since they’re overpriced and have been watered down heavily in the past years, but I’m a huge fan of this particular scent. I’d also second Platinum Egoiste, which is a cheaper option but of the same quality as Viking.

[@eaudetreasure]

D&G Light Blue Eau Intense is horrible to my nose, and two of my girlfriends. Smells so heavy, synthetic suntan lotions type stuff. I got angry looks when people sniffed it.

don't be afraid to release more than 5 fragrances Omar, just make sure that every fragrance is different and is easily distinguishable name wise. somehow got a sample of mr fragrant in the Netherlands and it is great for the price, I really hope you and your company do well

Thank you! ❤️

[@sohaibberrag8200]

Hoe heb je die sample in Nederland gekregen, ik wil hem namelijk ook heel graag proberen

[@tomwilkinson9814]

I don't really get the reacting to other peoples videos and choices format as I don't understand the point that's being made - perhaps you can enlighten me Omar? I hope it's not to infer that one's opinion is more valid than another's, and I don't get that vibe from you, but it raises an eyebrow all the same.

[@abd78638]

Early Upload! Horray

[@blueapples]

What strikes me right away is that your commentary has much more informed detail about the scents in question. If I were to watch his video without your assist I'd find it almost content-free. I also had to roll my eyes at the opening shot of his Rolex. Bro, please. I subscribe to only three fragrance channels on here, yours being one of them. You have introduced me to amazing fragrances that had been nowhere near my radar, and that I now wouldn't want to live without. Hearing this guy say "It's amazing" or "My girlfriend loves it" adds nothing to the conversation. Generally he uses too many superlative adjectives. He's trying hard but has a way to go before I could trust his opinions.

[@parisloyo]

We need to stop giving every fewgrance an 8 out of 10. Like, a 6 is above average a good fragrance but youre not super into.

[@rashadaljunied]

I went to a Creed store and I will so NONE of them are worth the cost, not even royal oud. WAY too soft, any of the arab clones beats any of the creeds, especially aventus and millesime imperiale. And I would replace prada lhomme (way too generic and soft soapy) with either givenchy gentleman intense edt or Dior Homme Original, both are richer and have more dimension

[@d3r4g45]

For a new brand 5frags is wayyy too many😂 go with 1-3 max
