Perfumer Reviews Fragrances That I Insist Are A 10/10 | Men's Cologne/Perfume Review 2023

Sam's Channel : / @sammacer
Subjectively, these are five fragrances I give a 10/10. However, today I have been humbled. 😭
Today, I had the pleasure of having Sam Macer on the channel, an independent perfumer who has a fantastic channel of his own! Sam's channel is a breath of 'fresh' air (pun intended) that finally reveals to us the secrets of the fragrance industry.
He has concise and well crafted videos that teach you how to make your own fragrances, the technicalities of ingredients found in your favourite perfumes, and how the fragrance industry works in general, with useful reviews of books created by master perfumers!
If you want to take the red pill of the fragrance industry and see behind the curtain, definitely subscribe to Sam's channel!

Thank you for inviting me onto the channel Omar, it was a pleasure! After we recorded the video I started testing some of the perfumes on skin and completely different sides to them came out. After that my favorite was bleu électrique, I’ll have to upgrade it to a 9, the base note was beautiful. I didn’t quite like the Fahrenheit so much anymore since the animalic notes came out. A quick sniff on the scent strip is never enough…

[@SchoolofScent]

Pleasure having you on the channel mate! 😁 I’m glad you changed your mind on La Nuit haha

[@topnotesfragrance]

So awesome to see Sam on such a big channel!! He was invaluable to my learning when I started making perfume/cologne

[@SchoolofScent]

Definitely deserves the spotlight!

[@OfficialBassMarine]

Can we get a School of Scent / Sam Macer masterclass or series? I would love to see what you guys would create together, while contrasting your knowledge of the perfume market, and Sam's more technical and scientific approach. (That could be a very educational SCHOOL of Scent class, and an interesting collaboration as well)

[@SchoolofScent]

Interesting idea

[@allankimera3146]

Please what a great idea. I pray it's considered.😁

[@nickyb7185]

I love Sam and his content. I too am a self taught perfumer and I love geeking out over his videos. Thanks for all the great information you put out there Sam.

[@allankimera3146]

This awesome. I love the way Sam explains perfumery, I'm learning a lot from him and I already love this channel as well. Thanks guys.

[@SomeRandomBod]

That man knows his stuff, I love Sam’s channel. Loving the colab.

Omar. When will you stop being the top g of fragrances? Keep it up. How could Sam be so brutal to Le male Le parfum. 😭

[@tracer073]

Not everything is for everybody

[@engell3707]

Who cares what that guy says? Honestly, I want to smell his perfumes. If he’s that good he can create something so much better than Le Parfum why aren’t we loving his perfumes by now. Truth be told, those who can do, those who can’t teach. This man seems like he knows a lot but he doesn’t create anything.

[@justaddlight]

Sam's great. His channel is a wonderful learning tool too. 😊 Definitely wouldn't give the modern Fahrenheit a 10 myself, but the vintage stuff is probably worthy. Nuances for the connoisseur.

[@flynndean]

Have you smelt it in the past ~18months-2yrs? There has been a definite return to its former glory, the community just doesn't like highlighting when reformulations improve fragrances for the better.

[@jts4248]

Jean paul le male le parfum 10 for me. Chanel allure I love the whole line 10 for me. I don't what he was smelling 🤣🤣

[@engell3707]

It’s called jealousy. The man obviously knows Le Parfum is a goat 🐐. Have you watched The Perfume the movie ? It shows that perfumers are, like many other artists, egotistical creatures that will not give enough credit publicly to others perfumers accomplishments.

[@johnkhem2084]

Wow this was a great video to have a perfumer and get his take on a fragrance. Can you make a video on understanding different fragrance oil concentrations?

[@Scentsei_585]

I love his channel one day imma make my own fragrances off of tips and learning that started from his and fragranceviews channels great to have someone breaking things down so technically

[@DaveNYC]

Love Sam and his channel! Nice to see you together.

[@tommyk3629]

Love this video! Would love to see a similar video with ATH

[@sancheese6014]

I learned all of my perfumery from Sam Macer’s videos. I appreciate him so much!

[@caoslikewhoa]

Great job! As always!

[@96gds]

This video was great. You can tell he really knows fragrance. Definitely glad you introduced us to Sam!

[@SchoolofScent]

He deserves more fame!

[@ZestGirlsSriLanka]

Moschino Toy boy is a crowd pleaser. and also very special rose based perfume.

[@daniellabuda7744]

I personally think, that ambettolide is very prominent clean musk used in Moschino Toy Boy. This is clean, slightly sweet "berry-pear" like. It owns this sort of quality inside. I don't like the perfume, however, I love rose in perfumery, just different interpretations. Sam's opinion about ethyl maltol has a lot of sense actually, it is definitely used in JPG Le Male Parfum and Bleu Electrique, strange that he did not noticed it there as well. Damn, Sam's chanel could also be one of the best, including Yours and ATH chanel as well. As a perfumery passionate, I give you big big love. Very nice material, Omar!

[@Chris-de2qc]

He needs to do the dry downs

[@twstedon7435]

You let him burcher le male le parfum like that 😫😫

[@engell3707]

Yeah he did nothing to defend it. Just sat there and watched him slander one of the greatest of all time. Omar showed no backbone

[@ohfour-seven6228]

Great video! So interesting to see the opinion of another perfumer. And for the record, I give Toy Boy 10/10!

[@efrizaldia]

Best fragrance collab so far 👏 Sam Macer is like a bright light in the dark fragrance world, disclosing secrecy of perfumery

[@seanevans9329]

Great show!

[@Dude10946]

That was fun to watch

[@deanpaul2051]

Pulling up to uni wearing oud satin mood tomorrow because I got a sample of it and can’t resist, wish me luck 😂

[@BarAlexC]

12:05 yes I definitely am, at least. I'm not that diehard perfume guy, but I strive to learn any technicality of everything that I enjoy (eg. what makes a fragrance feel natural? what makes a bread dough rise? how does a CPU feed data as current to transistors? etc.) If you're like me, you'll probably enjoy his content. I particularly loved his ambroxan/ambergris video (just because I either love that note-creeds; or literally get nausea and almost puke-sauvage).

[@tradaholic6792]

Aaron Terence Hughes the GOAT

I will do that. Thank you

[@MickeyNutz54]

What is the US equivalent to "violet flavored" candy or food. I've never even heard of Parma Violets or anything "violet flavored". Could it be kind of like what we call "grape flavored" in the States? (Grape flavored candy, soda, etc doesn't smell or taste anything like actual grapes, it's kind of its own thing)

[@SchoolofScent]

Definitely not grape flavoured

[@henrybrewer8675]

It literally tastes how violet flowers smell.

[@Sam_Stanton]

Love the title haha "I insist are a 10/10"

[@SchoolofScent]

I insist! 😤

😎 Looking forward to the next , Atrium Fragrance release, Mr. Romantic Excellent unique content….🎉

[@2519Nick]

Great video! Sam should really think about investing some time into reviewing fragrances, I'm sure it would really help his channel and his own fragrance brand grow, the community loves hearing genuine opinions from perfumers, worked wonders for Aaron Terence Hughes.

[@SchoolofScent]

But then he’d just be another ATH-esque channel, I think it’s cool he does his own thing 😉

[@yusuff7_]

Is it worth picking up prada l’homme intense these days? I heard alot of stuff about that it’s reformulated a couple months ago and now discontinued. I can get it for 65 euro’s from a guy that purchased it last month. What should i do?

[@SchoolofScent]

It is likely to have been beast mode in its last formulation, I would purchase it if I was in your position (if you like Dark Iris scents)

[@yusuff7_]

@@SchoolofScent I definitely like iris fragrances. Dior homme intense and le male le parfum are one of my favorites of all time. But do you think this prada l’homme intense is usual for the spring? I live in Holland so it’s not that hot in the spring tbh. But the scent is pretty strong from the intense version. I can get the intense cheapier than the OG. Should i pay 25 euro’s more and get the OG, or should I purchase the intense and use it for spring and summer nights?

[@yusuff7_]

@@alncdr yeah i think you’re right mate. I can probably sell it for more if it gets discontinued in Europe too 😳 it’s pretty easy to find it in Europe now. But maybe not the coming year… that will be the next pick

[@engell3707]

I don’t agree with his opinion on Le Male Le Parfum. While it may just take a few things to be made and it may belong to a genre, of its so easy to make why didn’t anybody created the exact smell of Le Parfum before? And who really cares if it’s done easily or not, the import thing is how it smells period. Is like saying a Picasso painting is not worth it because it’s done with a simple technique.

[@dannyfarquharson9144]

Omar, like you I really love YSL Blue Electrique. I once owned a bottle which was stolen by a girl I once knew. Have never got it back. Your guest did mark it a 7, so should be upgraded to an 8. He is really good and hope to see more of him on your channel. Also Moschino is a really good scent too so lots of applause!

[@j.l.5966]

Check out the pinned comment, after he gave it a good wearing on skin, he upgraded Bleu Electrique to 9 and downgraded Fahrenheit 😎

[@engell3707]

Why did you let that girl rip you off like that. What a sleezball that girl. What she got into your closet and bluntly took it and said see you later then took off with your blue electrique in her hand?

Le Male Le Parfum is not a 10 by any means. It's a weird reinterpretation of the classic bashed together randomly with modern features. It is (Being objective) a poor creation.
