Instant Crush - most compliments ever received from both women and men throughout the entire evening/night bar hopping in Miami. (Second to JPG Ultra Male). Mesmerising frag after 30-40min harsh beast mode blast. After that the projection/sillage calms to about arm reach proximity and people will compliment you. 3 sprays, neck/inner elbows. 14+ hr lasting. Could smell it on clothes days later.

A lot of great advice/lessons in this video, for sure. Thankfully, or, annoyingly, depending on your perspective, I'm the type of person who HATES wasting good money on something I will never use, or enjoy; to date, I haven't purchased a full bottle of a fragrance that I didn't love. Watching videos/channels like this one has been extremely helpful in getting an overall view of a perfume, and forming an opinion on whether or not it's worth even trying. Personally, my best advice is to first buy a 2ml sample, wear the fragrance for at least two or three days, and then decide if you like it, or not. If you do enjoy it, consider purchasing a larger sample like a 5ml or 9ml bottle, wear it for at least two weeks, and then you'll have a much better idea on whether or not it's worth spending "big" money on a 50/75/100ml bottle, that will provide months of daily wear. Another fantastic piece of advice Omar gave was, "Don't full-buy a fragrance that is for 'special occasions', where you'll only wear it maybe a handful of times.". If you're buying a "date night" fragrance, how many dates are you going on? Once or twice a week? Damn, you're popular, and maybe a full bottle makes sense in that case. For the rest of us, a special occasion fragrance would be fine in a 9ml sample bottle, or even a 5ml bottle, depending on the strength of the perfume. Office/Work fragrances that you love deserve full bottles, in my opinion, but anything else you're not sure you're going to wear every day, is most likely worth purchasing in a sample bottle instead. Another awesome video from this channel!

I’m not a blind but warrior, I’m very intentional with my purchases. I may not wear some of my fragrance as much as I used to but I love every one of them. Word of advice, BUY SAMPLES AND DECANTS. You might love it today but realize you hate it tomorrow and a 10 to 20 dollar decant is a lot easier to get rid of than a 250 dollar full bottle.

My regrets are Amouage Epic, Amouage Interlude, Amouage Interlude Black Iris, and Amouage Royal Tobacco. Don’t fall for the hype is right. If you can get to a store to smell these then do that. Unfortunately no one near me carries Amouage and if these are the houses heavy hitters then I understand why. The gluten for punishment in me wants to try Lyric, Boundless, Reflection/Reflection 45, Jubilation 25, Search, Purpose, Enclave, and Beach Hut but I am concerned with how the others went.

Thankfully I've always thoroughly tested Niche before buying. I got a 5 ml of Instant Crush and had the same thoughts it was very potent Saffron, Vanilla, smoky sugar accord that leaned feminine to me so I didn't feel fully confident wearing it. Torino 21 was one of the best uses of Mint Leaf I've experienced, and I think it would be worth a buy but there's some other Green notes in it that kind of bother me after a while think it might be the Basil, Thyme combo. Like you described just came off as sharp but otherwise the Lemon and Mint is gorgeous. I really want to try Torino 22 now.

Luckily i always test samples first. Regret: amouage - beach hut (strong old fashioned shaving soap). Bois imperial (industrial cleaning supplies). Prada - Luna rossa black (hardly detectable smell, weak performance). Xerjoff - 40 knots (very weird scent). Xerjoff - torino 21 (too harsh and aggresive). D&G - the one (hyped but weak performance and boring), stronger with you absolutely (too sweet and overwhelming). Diptique - orpheon (heavenly on strip, very nausiating on skin)

I had a bad experience with Le Labo too. I bought Noir 29 early into my journey because I loved it on paper but I didn't think to wait for the dry down or try it on my skin. Most people don't like the opening and love the dry down and on skin it's the opposite for me. The opening was great but I HATE the dry down. Lesson learned: buy decants first so you can try a full wearing before buying.

I got excited when you said you preferred Torino 22 to Torino 21(I agree completely with your assesment there) but then you had to go and ruin it by poo pooing Reflection man and Bleeker street. Reflection man is a total banger of a fragrance and I have received a number of compliments wearing it. Perhaps BS is not quite on par with Reflection man but it is a solid solid fragrance and has nothing to do with GIT. If anything Chez Bond by Bond No 9 smells like GIT, I think you got confused there. Also Bond No 9 is an excellent niche house, far too overpriced these day(mostly the last couple of years prices sky rocketed) but to my nose is the second best niche house after Creed. Chez Bond may be better than GIT, Governors island is a hidden gem, Bleeker Street is a solid winner, Scent of Peace is also quite good(don't spray too much though) as well as a few others that I haven't gotten round to purchasing yet. I really wanted to agree with you there and you kicked it off with a perfect opening round but then floundered towards the end.

The last niche fragrance I bought was Bond No 9 New Bond St. from TJ Maxx on Wednesday, and I love it because it's unique, so it's niche in the sense that it's a niche brand and also it's a unique fragrance to me. It has a nice, sweet cacao aroma that I really like. The first full bottle of a niche fragrance was a couple months ago when I got Mancera Instant Crush. I absolutely love Instant Crush so far too, but it has a scent note that reminds me of Cincinnati chili, specifically Skyline chili. I'm from Cincinnati, and we have this chili that's really runny and served on hot dogs or over spaghetti in various "#-Ways", such as the Three Way has spaghetti, chili, and shredded cheddar cheese. The Four Way also has beans or onions, and the Five Way has all five ingredients. I think that might be a reason why I've gotten a compliment from a random stranger at Kroger, a few weeks ago when I was there with my fiance. We were walking in the store, and heard a lady say someone smelled good, and asked if it was us. Katie, who is probably my ex again now just because I think she's ghosted me again almost two weeks ago, unrelated to this story, said that I was the one into fragrances. So I walked over closer to the lady, and she confirmed that it was me, again said that I smelled amazing, and she asked what fragrance I had used. I told her it was Louis Vuitton Pacific Chill and Ombre Nomade, because I definitely remembered using both of those earlier. But I remembered later that I had also used Instant Crush. I really want to try Mind Games, Penhaligon, and Roja, and also some extrait de parfums, like BDK Gris Charnel Extrait or the Louis Vuitton extrait's, like Symphony or Cosmic Cloud, or Argos Triumph of Bacchus extrait. I have a sample of the Eau de Parfum version of Argos TOB, but haven't tried the extrait.

I also just got Xerjoff Naxos last week, because it was on sale for 15% off on Amazon. I got it for $213, which isn't bad. I really like it so far. The box is probably the fanciest presentation that I've had so far with a fragrance. The outer cardboard box is really nice and colorful, with the Italian flag colors, and the quirky illustration of the head with wings and three legs growing out of it, I guess. The leather case inside the box, that's purple with the giant stylized X on the front is gorgeous too. It's like a giant jewelry box. Upon opening that, the cloth inside that covers the bottle is also just beautiful. The cap is a fingerprint magnet, but it's so pretty too, and the bottle in general is gorgeous. The atomizer works amazingly, and the scent is initially citrus and also some black licorice like scent, but that might be patchouli; I'm not sure. I really like it so far. It dries down to some deeper, richer scent notes, projects far, and lasts a long time. I saw on the Xerjoff website, that you can basically make your own sample pack, by picking four fragrances for 25 Euros. The fact that it's in Euro's was disheartening, and implies that it would take forever to actually get the products, but it seems like that is a way to actually try their fragrances without just blind buying expensive bottles.

@@SchoolOfScent fair enough. Might give it a pass then. I'm not keen on rose and oud but always willing to change my mind on something that stands out. Thanks for the recommendation on Oud Maracuja btw. I got a sample and it's really good in all aspects

Layton disappointed me with that strong minty vibe. I heard reviewers talking about apple pie vibe and I fell for it.

I agree with Reflection Man, it smells like old lady, Jubilation XXV is way better

For now my only niche regret is Aoud Lemon Mint by Mancera. At first I liked it on paper strip and skin so I bought it and summer came and I’ve found out that it was too much for summer for me. Strong synthetic oud and almond followed by candy sweet lemon with more almonds. Too harsh and pungent.

Fleur de Peau- Diptique- the aldehydes utterly ruin this fragrance and its inherent airy sweatness ends up smelling dilluted and sweaty Anything by Nishane - just a huge no from me and that whole wretched brand And I don’t get the hype around any Creed fragrances- there’s never any meaningful depth or that inimitable, often oddly unconventional and even sometimes quirky complexity - we normally associate with the high end, high quality niches- all of that is lacking in the very DNA of Creed - which is so overhyped, overprice and overpriced- it’s become utterly trite and has lost any meaning within the community With every single one I have tried, been gifted, blindly and naively baught for myself- I’d always think : This is not a finished product. It lacks layering and depth that is not just on that one level, but multilayered

I think niche fragrances have the biggest boom/bust potential. Whereas designers have much more meh potential.

Torino 21 is not even a niche fragrance. Its a designeresc release by niche brand. Lemon detergent opening and green mint and musk. Just overpriced for what it is. Perfect example where you paying only a name. Mancera - instant crush is definetly not stronger than br540. I have them both and br540 is way beefier than instant crush

T21 is a beautiful fresh bomb. Not sure how you can dislike it except for an aversion to photorealistic lemon zest and mint/herbs. Smells like a musky herbal garden.
