Hi Omar I love perfumes with Cardamom like JPG Le Male Le Parfum, YSL Le Nuit De L'Homme. Anything else you can recommend that is longer lasting and be an all year signature scent? Thanks 👍

[@aznswag6030]

I normally go by seasons. I have some that I would never use in summer and others are exceptionally kept and used in hot season. Always good idea to have few versatile ones 👌

[@ConsolePlayr]

As someone new to the fragrance world, I’ve purchased a couple things (reserve privee and invictus victory extreme) but I was never able to actually categorize where in my collection I’d fit them, I just bought them because they were different than what I already had. I seriously appreciate the informative content you make sir 🙏🙏🙏

Fragrantica really helps to determine what each fragrance is for, season and occasion wise I found!

[@masonturner2124]

This is a very solid framework for building out a fragrance collection. This is how I’m currently building out my current collection, by fragrances that I enjoy for specific occasions. Two things that I’d like to add: every man should have a niche fragrance, differing volumes of fragrances per season, and different types of fragrances for different climates. I live in Florida so I currently have two aquatics in my collection.

[@Youngswizzy667]

Really appreciate your content Omar. For some reason I mostly get Orange creamsicle from Atrium’s first release.

One solid mass appealing niche signature is all you need, my choice is Percival. I’m at the point where I will keep 6 of my designers. Born in Roma edt, light blue forever, Eros edp, most wanted intense, le beau, and cdnim.

[@rogerwebster9826]

Thank-you for that super helpful vid. Can you do one that shows which brand has the best one/two punch? By that I mean, which brand has the best combo of daytime and nighttime must-haves. For eg YSL Y for day and La Nuit for night...or Dior Sauvage for day and Homme Intense for night. Maybe a top 10 countdown?

[@markhariison4641]

Thanks for mentioning Burberry Touch. I love it and it's really a bargain at the price.

[@carlduplessis8007]

Cool. So I'm completely covered in all these categories.

[@ashuraisdedge]

I am a broke psychology student (*sighs in debt*) with a very limited budget, but your videos got me into fragrances. I was planning on starting my collection with a few cheapies and then upgrade later on. 1. Versatile: montblanc explorer or versace dylan blue 2. Date/night out: trussardi riflesso or moustache rochas 3. Summer: versace pour homme or eau fraiche 4. Clubbing: halloween man x 5. Uni/work: Ferragamo F Black or Burberry Touch These are my options at the moment, but once I start my internship I’ll be able to save some money. Thank you for your content!

Versace Pour Homme is a wonderful fragrance and perfect for summer, hot weather. On my skin, it really is a very light projector, that’s the only drawback… I think I could wear 1/2 bottle (lol) and it would still be gently scented to those around me.

[@kensears5099]

An old-man-beginner is a unique category, I think! I just got into this about three years ago, around the age of 62. So it's an odd combination of being a "novice" but also being "old", i.e., already possessing a certain maturity of taste even without the actual practical experience. I find that you don't need to have come through all the fragrance aficionado's "stages," i.e., you don't start at 62 with an 18-year-old novice's tastes. In your 60s, and especially if you are a content, monk-ish single man like me, you're not looking for anything "bubble gum," definitely nothing "sexy," certainly not "beast mode." I'll also add that my tastes keep me away from anything overtly vanillaIn my three-year experience I find that I tend very much towards "niche," definitely away from anything caricaturely cologne-ish, after-shave-ish. I love something with an enchanting, fascinating "quirk," some captivating (i.e., to me if nobody else) hook, the thing that transports you somewhere and creates around you, like maybe in your office if you're blessed to have an office to yourself that people drop in on, a tastefully subtle but distinct ambience. I have fallen in love with things like Oriza L. LeGrand's Chypre Mousse, CdG's Rouge (Beets and Frankincense, my first splurge), Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum, Geo. Beene Grey Flannel, MB Explorer, L'Etat Libre d'Orange 500 Years and Sous Le Pont Mirabeau, Tauer Au Coeur du Désert and Incense Rose (wow!), Nicolai L'Eau Mixte, Hermes L'Ombre des Merveilles (a wonderfully simple yet enchanting "dumb reach" all year round), Victorinox Black Steel, Panouage Matières Libres Patchouli Figue, Lalique's Encre Noire, Diptyque Kyoto (Beets and Rose), Sisely Eau de Campagne (tomato leaf!), Xerjoff Torino 21, Amouage Jubilation XXV and Beach Hut Man. And finally, a long-discontinued one I cherish my three tiny vials of, Mauboussin M Generation. Plus Guerlain Heritage (among a number of Guerlains I'm crazy about) is a magnificently classy Sunday-go-to-meeting scent, especially in the cooler, darker months. I realize this channel is mostly for young guys like Omar, but still there might be some older newbies like me who might find this interesting.

I like seeing the Malaki line by Chopard in your video. Musk Malaki is definitely the best - this is what I call "clean" fragrance. It is super long lasting, very clean and professional and absolutely unisex. I receive so many compliments with it. However, I do not like any of the others, including Oud Malaki - all other scents in the line are annoying to my nose

Always funny when people suggest Dylan Blue and Y EDP for younger guys only.Literally any guy of any age can where them very fresh scents so they aren't really age oriented.Angle Share is a very sweet scent yet no one calls it immature scent has no age.

[@kirbyolsen5941]

Eh it’s almost like let’s say Tom Ford ombré leather, I can’t imagine any teens being too interested in those type of fragrances

[@dayforit1750]

Its pretty confusing, half of the frag community say Dylan Blue is for younger guys, the other half say its a more masculine scent.

[@dant.6364]

Dylan Blue is for guys 16 - 31 years old. Y EDP is for ages 19-43, while Angel Share is for guys 27-29, then you have to stop wearing it for a while until your kids graduate high school and you can start wearing it again in your 40’s unless your bottle went bad. If so you should replace it with Encre Noir which is the type you must wear as you stare death in the face well into your early 90’s.

[@curlyhairdudeify]

6:01 I don't think Versace Piur Homme is "safe" my coworker's husband comes to pick her up, and I can smell him. It smells really good, but it us a loud and distracting fragrance. I asked him what it was was and he said VPH. I think vanilla and all are safe as long as you don't over spray.

[@SchoolofScent]

VPH is far more safe than vanilla fragrances, he might just need to reduce his number of sprays!

What about fragrances with lavender? I've been looking for a great lavender-based fragrance for awhile now and sadly they just don't seem to get any love.

First point I disagree with: "versatile fragrances". The last thing a collector needs is a versatile fragrance. If you are going to collect then you are gonna have a fragrance for every occasion. I dont see the need for "a fragrance that does it all". Second point: "loud fragrances". I dont think anyone specially needs loud fragrances. If you need to grab attention you need a therapist before a fragrance. 3rd point: To introduce someone to oud, avoid occidental ouds especially Oud Wood that contains none. We cant smell any oud in this so he is not gonna discover what it is. Triad or Oud Monarch from Bortnikoff could be good beguinners oud fragrances if they have the money, with a lot of natural oud. Oud Maximus could be a good way to introduce him to stronger ouds. For cheaper, Ajmal proposes Mukhallat al Shams at a good price. Qurashi blend special from ASAQ isnt expensive too.

[@puissance]

I think I need a therapist now...
