For me redundancy is not about whether two fragrances could be used for the same scenario (LNdlH- The One). Its more about whether two fragrances smell so much alike, you would have problems to tell which one it is (Sauvage- Luna Rossa Carbon for instance)

[@ChadYu]

Strongly agree

[@patrioticsoul3]

Agreed.

[@DuSeun]

I agree, however, that's how you end up with 71 full bottles to go ice skating 😂

[@fedevidela7116]

Agreed.

[@kylep3759]

Luna Rosa Carbon and Dior Sauvage are in the same genre of fragrance but they smell completely different, I can tell right away when someone is wearing either one. Even Sauvage EDT and Sauvage Parfum smell completely different then one another, they are all different and don't smell alike

[@jameslunsford4168]

There is a bit of a problem for me anyways. The hobby of collecting fragrances is quite addictive and once I reached 20 bottles I cannot stop

[@paddy9588]

Stop getting Full bottles. You wont be able to go through all of them within your lifetime. Get 5-10ml samples

[@chicos2993]

You will never stop James. Once your brain registers the nose rush with each new fragrance experience, it will want more and more and more. Surrender and embrace the 'hobby'

[@magnifician21]

If you really have the urge to smell every fragrance to start your fragrance journey, I suggest you to spend on decants 1-2 ml, instead of going blind buy in full bottle Also make sure to journal it so you can track which notes you like and dislike from a perfume and you can avoid buying the similar fragrance you already owned for efficiency

[@joedeshawnhughes2623]

Agreed

[@jameslunsford4168]

This is a great idea! Although I’d prefer like at least 5 mL of decants bc I’ve tried fragrances that I didn’t like at first but I ended up loving and vice versa just needed to spend a lil time w them. I have noticed about certain notes also. For example Rasasi Dareej which is a clone of Valentino V has something in it that I do not like and I noticed that same note in another fragrance I can’t remember what it is tho. Patchouli maybe

[@samstein8113]

Yes! I said it on the last video and will repeat it, this is a great video concept for someone like me that wants to have a limited amount of awesome fragrances in my collection. Out of the hundreds of possible purchases I just want a few that can cover all aspects of life when you would wear a fragrance. If one bottle is empty I can just buy another fragrance with the same scent profile (if I want to switch it up ofcourse). I know that you (Omar) said in a previous video that 5 different types of fragrances could probably cover all situations and you gave 1 designer and 1 niche alternative for these 5 different occasions. I liked that video and i´d like to see a 5 seperate videos where you´d include 10-ish fragrances of each category and rank them from 10-1. Your own personal opinion is subjective but it puts all these different fragrances in a perspective of when you´d wear certain fragrances. Maybe even divide it into 10 designer 10 niche types x5 scenarios, 10 videos series.

[@rapsodicreaper]

Gr8 idea

[@pedroquadros880]

man ur a great youtuber, even though I have my personal collection I keep watching your videos, keep on goin 👏🏻

[@michaelbullock8011]

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

[@henrythornton7931]

Great video. I own both Dior Homme 2020 and Bleu de Chanel Parfum. I totally understand what you are saying… while they don’t smell the same, they are of the same style and as in my case- if a gentleman likes one and enjoys wearing it, most likely he would very much like and wear the other one. 👍🏻

[@TheFragranceDecantBoutique]

Fabulous review ❤

[@justinreadingbooks]

I guess this is why fragrance is so subjective. BDC EDP for me is very grapefruit, ginger, mint (my nose puts it closer to Sedley), where Dior Homme 2020 is straight up woody for me (closer to Burberry Hero to me). My wife has actually referred to Dior Homme 2020 as my "lumberjack" smell. I have both, love both

[@Banggeek]

Whats lumberjacj

[@SirEricArthurBlair]

Interesting video. I see where you’re coming from and I will still own multiple fragrances with similar vibes cause I like the vibes. For instance I like both Dior Homme 2020 and Bleu De Chanel. So having both is a benefit for me. Also I think differences in Silver Mountain Water and Montabaco Intensivio are enough to warrant owning both. Then again I do like tea fragrances a lot.

[@vassilisz.2835]

Dior Homme 2020 is a true masterpiece of masculinity and versatility while at the same time doesn't smell at all with any other blue fragrance. Dior homme Sport 2021 is the new sauvage EDT on an amber way. Both my favorites

[@darrunn]

Spot on with the one/la Nuit de L'Homme; I recently tried a decant of the one and thought it reminded me of it but I reckon the one with blue electrique would be a great combo

[@vilirantakoski5180]

PLEASE do the " I bought every fragrance so you don't have to " to ormonde jayne!! I'm very interested to that brand and thinkin about adding a few in to my collection in the future. It would be nice to hear your opinion of these fragrances and of the brand. You are making very very good, informative and entertaining content ! thank you for sharing your knowlage !

[@joshc7291]

Omar sticking to his guns on Dior Homme and BDC…I own both and I agree. They don’t smell the same, but their function is identical

[@daniellabuda7744]

I agree regarding BDC-Dior Homme. It feels, that Dior Homme is simplistic, well constructed, but simplistic again. It is very much based upon Iso E Super, Ambrox, Cedarwood raw materials, also Hedione-Pink Pepper-Elemi combination probably can work in such formulas. It is fairy linear, mass appealing, very nice smell though, extremely versatile and smells quite light fresh and natural, I would say. Some clean white Musks support the base, I guess. It is literally impossible to dislike. It is not difficult to understand, why people love it. I would never buy it though. I am on Bleu de Chanel side for sure, of course I stand with Parfum concentration, masterful perfumery in this one... I really respect Anteus and Kouros. It is a homage to classic French perfumery. I adore them both too.

[@cedriclucas3294]

I dislike, it reminds me of sweat

[@jimlittle5769]

BDC Parfum is indeed truly a masterpiece.

[@jakovljubesic261]

Love your videos

[@snappiegappie]

Agree so much with the la nuit de l’homme and the one EDP. Very pleasant, calming and weak performing, similar vibes

[@shmoopiebear]

Taking notes. Thanks.

[@juliochingaling5824]

Great video. Thank you. Blessings.

[@jameslunsford4168]

Also bleu de chanel and Dior homme I’ve never smelled 2020 version but all I can think of is Iris vs bdc which is citrus @ the top blended w woods in a masterful way

[@miker4430]

Good service video thank you

[@miker4430]

Chanel bleu agree more artistic but masculine, Dior Sauvage a bit more hard edged

[@metas1779]

I love Montobaco Intensivo so much 🔥🔥🔥

[@ajaj3025]

Great sense

[@riblet1000]

I am 60 year-old and love animalic fragrances. I, too, wish they would come back into popularity. When I am in the mood for a night out, I wear either Jacques Bogart Furyo or One man Show Ruby Edition. Those dark, dank, truly musky base notes do separate the men from the boys, I my opinion.

[@SchoolOfScent]

Nice, need to check them out! Yes they need to make a return! Alexandria II and Roja Enigma have a slight focus on an ‘animalic’ nature to them if you haven’t checked them out 😊

[@jimlittle5769]

I wear The One EDP during nights out in cool/cold weather. It gets the call for that duty over La Nuit de L'Homme due to the tobacco. La Nuit de L'homme is my after evening shower fragrance on cool/cold nights when the plan is to stay in.

[@Banggeek]

My The One edp is really not projecting at all. Is it ok to go out night with that?

[@jimlittle5769]

@@Banggeek I have no issues with it. I put five or six sprays on before I go out and I have no issue smelling it when I get home. Gotten quite a few compliments as well.

[@fedevidela7116]

I don't agree with the idea that having two fragrances that belong to the same "category" is undesirable. Bleu de Chanel and Dior Sauvage are blue fragrances but they smell very different. Appreciating each fragrance beyond the general category and the situations and other conditions in which they may be used is something that I consider fun and enriching. Simplifying fragrances that smell similar also doesn't add to richness, it rather does to simplicity. I enjoy smelling different fragrances and even the little nuances among them. If you like clean and fresh fragrances and enjoy having a variety of them so as not to get bored, I don't see anything bad about it. That's how I see it.

[@milesdollasign3906]

I don't think he's directing this video at obsessive enthusiasts, he's helping people who only want to own a couple fragrances cover their bases

[@richouk]

I love ath fragrances, especially hard candy 2022.But tabac!has a major cat piss funk on my skin 😢 i love the smell from the atomiser as well! The stuff is nuchlar too.

[@albertohuerta2870]

I have dylan blue and versace eros edt, which fragrance style should i add? Nice video omar, as always

[@rapsodicreaper]

Xerjoff Naxos, PDM Carlisle will be a gr8 choice, always sample before buying a full bottle

[@albertohuerta2870]

Thanks, expensive fragrances to be honest, any other sugestions? Im 17 by the way@@rapsodicreaper

[@rapsodicreaper]

@@albertohuerta2870 ok, try Rasasi Hawas/coolwater Intense for summer, JPG le male le parfum/ D&G the one edp for dates, Azzaro most wanted or Armani code for Winter try before u buy our tastes are different

[@whankerNJ]

School is in session! I could have used a series like this 6 years ago-

[@aaronwilliams9793]

What about blue Chanel and Dior homme sport

[@franknitti100]

I stopped at the first comparison but I'll catch the next one

[@rozhosman6009]

Great stuff Omar, as always. Can you do a review of the supremacy line by afnan?

[@demofr1]

10/10 edge

[@shabbat_king]

I'm wondering if it would be a safe blind buy of Montabaco Intensivo, if I really like Creed's SMW, but I'm looking for something less common?

[@SchoolOfScent]

Then I would say yes, but of course there’s always a risk :)

[@Principemostprincipe]

Initio - Oud for greatnes vs pdm - haltane Xerjoff - erba pura vs tiziana terenzi - kirke Initio - rehab vs viktor rolf - spicebomb Vr - spicebomb extreme vs pdm - herod Br540 vs electimuss - trajan Nasomatto - baraonda vs unique luxury - kutay Nasomatto - black afgano vs electimuss - kapua Amouage - jubilation xxv vs ormonde jayne - nawab of oudh Tf - soleil blanc vs santal complet Radical rose vs oud satin mood vs cairo vs rose omeyade So on and so on

[@jessynsiesi5443]

I am looking for alternatives to ysl bleu electrique that can offer a similar experience

[@SchoolOfScent]

There's nothing quite like it, your best bet might be Gris Charnel EDP

[@jimlittle5769]

Jack of Clubs from Fragrance World.

[@aNDREy-hg3tq]

Let me say that "pick your poison" was such a cool line

[@KukulcanZ]

Does Dior Homme 2020 smell anything like Dior Homme Intense?

[@SchoolOfScent]

No

[@asparceproton1]

Maybe my nose just isn't that developed, but ATH Tabac just smells like Tobacco Vanille + oud to me.

[@heinmonaung8240]

If you own MFK Oud Satin Mood, you don’t have to own LV Ombre Nomade.

[@lindz151074]

Pictures of amber don't help me know what it smells like :)

[@theotht]

bdc and dior homme smell extremely different but i guess the idea behind them is the same its like a counterpart to it.

[@gamalielcenteno4801]

👍👍👍

[@vinze_gonz_old_guy]

I use Kouros to keep people away from me. My dog likes Kouros! My cat pees in the areas I walk when I use Kouros. When I don't want people in my house I spray Kouros. If I have a home invasion I use Kouros as a home defense. If you have ever heard of the booze Malort in the US I would say Kouros is the cologne version of that. Yep! Good stuff! 😂😂

[@anthonyraimo7701]

Title definitely shouldn’t have been redundant- the fragrances compared don’t fit the description

[@woyopol]

If to you Dior Homme is similar to Bleu... Boy. No words. The same with The One vs La Nuit. The latter is much fruitier, the former is veeeery generic - it's easy to mistake it with at least a dozen other fragrances.

[@Morill128]

In my opinion, for some of them it only goes one way: 1. Dior Homme redundant if you have BDC EDP 2. D&G The One redundant if you have YSL La Nuit de L'Homme Simply because I consider the latter to be better choices overall. I have to admit I ignored BDC for a long time but recently tested all 3 concentrations and now I consider EDP a masterpiece, just yesterday I bought a full bottle. Can't wait to experiment with layering it with Dylan Blue for an extra "oomph" :)

[@jimlittle5769]

I like BDC EDP a lot, but to me the parfum is clearly the best and a masterpiece, IMO.

[@frozenflame900]

Fragrance Andrew Tate back with the consistency 🔥

[@SchoolOfScent]

Gonna go take a spin in the Bugatti

[@jimlittle5769]

People are entitled to their own opinions of course, but while DH2020 and BDC EDP are both all season/all occasion fragrances, they smell nothing alike. No redundancy.

[@Arun-tx6nv]

Video starts at 1:30 thank me later

[@Principemostprincipe]

Dior 2020 is a poor mans blue de chanel. Bdc better blended, higher quality ingredients and better projecting. You should not own la nuit de l homme nor d&g the one edp. Both of them performs extremly bad. Bleu electrique from ysl is better choice and for D&G go for luminous night

[@jimlittle5769]

Damn I have all of those...guess it's time to sell/give away 🙂

[@smackd1870]

DH2020 beats BDC everytime. BDC most overrated blue.

[@V_VaNiLla28]

I like sweet colognes but Idk what to buy, But i would want an attention grabbing sweet winter cologne.(I need help)🫠🙏🏽
