MATÉ TALK #94 [MY 12 FRAGRANCE PICKS FOR 2023 - I LOVE YOU....WHAT??]

[@damianclarke6526]

Hi, in barbados, we call it rum cake or great cake. It's a cake you find in all the Caribbean islands. I'm glad you got to try it.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Thank you Damian💫 It's the cake that brings the Caribbean together♥️ (super yummy!😍) wishing you best for 2024 🎉

[@vivianagbegha2712]

Thanks so much for your videos, Marcelo. I discovered your channel while I was traveling alone on my world tour earlier this year. Your love of perfume, your artistry, and your technical expertise arrested my attention. It has inspired me to improve my own content creation. But more than that, what keeps me returning to your videos is your friendly and open personality. It so apparent. Thank you for sharing as you do. Happy new year. Wishing you unimaginable success.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

For some reason I read your comment first this morning Vivian and your closing line of "wishing you unimaginable success" created an electric surge⚡️ I almost felt it like a pronouncement of prophesy🤩 I appreciate that level of 'well wishing' THANK YOU VIVIAN!!!♥️ I'm sending it back to you too!! I too am wishing you unimaginable success Vivian and that you get to do all that you hope for in 2024. I'm also hoping that our paths can cross in person and it would be wonderful to meet you one day. Thank you again for all your support; it's been wonderful connecting with you via these comments and seeing all your travels and adventures via Instagram 😎

[@vivianagbegha2712]

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector 😀 We should speak what we mean or hope for. Words have power. Thanks for your well wishing. I launched a consultancy recently (quite risky), and I hope that it will take off very soon. I don’t want to work for others anymore. I agree. We must meet one day! I have never been down under! Perhaps that will be included in my next tour of countries. 😉

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

@vivianagbegha2712 totally agree that words have power… I love using this in my life💪🏽💫 I wish you grand success on your new venture⚡️very early on a mentor of mine, told me “fortune favors the brave”… so I wish that this is an incredible success and adventure for you Vivian🙏🏽

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Yessir! Out of the three (Pardon, Baraonda, and Sadonaso) I picked up, Sadonaso is IMMACULATE on my skin! I like all three but Sadonaso is, as you put it, *pure magic*. I've already put in an order for two more Nasomatto's and two Orto Parisi's. Say, do you know if any of Meo's releases play out on the more sensual and/or alluring side? Which one would you recommend?

You've created something unique here and we all can feel it just as much as you. Based on your list there are a few I may get during the coming year: Vibrato, Tonka Bodykon and Sogni for starters.

We LOVE YOU 🥰 MATE!😂😂😂 Ok it your fault? I asked you recently about boozie frags. Some were quite hard to get bcs they are all out of stock for Xmas. BUT! Have you heard of a American house by the name of: Sents of Wood . These are some of the most boozy niche frags I’ve found on the net. Take a look but, in their bumff, it’s states they don’t ship outside US an Canada? So I explained about this Ozzy who luvs boozy frags. Ok appy New Year to you ALL out there. I hope you all have a wofty hungover 24 everone. So, I ordered Deagalev, Naxos, Amourge discovery kit. Angels share, Zaharoff discovery samples an MFK discovery kit. Not bad for the start of my rabbit hole fragrance collection. Thanks mate ❤❤❤ You! 😂😂😂😜😜🍾🍾🍾🥃🥃🥃 your a star mate cheers ⭐️⭐️⭐️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Thank you mate! It’s clear that we need to meet one day😎💫 Have to make my way the UK 🇬🇧 Yes, have heard of Scent of Woods but as you mentioned, we don’t have access to them hear in Australia but have had the chance to only test out Plum in Cognac (this is glorious!!!) you’re going to these if you can hunt them down locally. I love the full one discovery extravaganza that you have ordered….you’re going to have a field day with these🥳 I’ll be curious to hear what you think of each house and how you would rate them🤔 Love you homie👊🏽 thanks your support and wishing you great success in 2024🥳

Hey Marcelo! I got Perris Cedro di Diamante and I really like this particular lemon. Are there any other perfumes with cedro you like and recommend? Wishing you all the best for 2024! Kind regards from Berlin! Hans

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Great to hear from you Hans and I have to agree with you that PMC Cedro is exceptional; vibrant, fresh, an incredible citrus burst. I would recommend to you the following that have the same glorious citrus/lemony explosion but now with a twist: Torino 21: Lemon/Lime with a mint herbal vibe Greasque: Lemon/mint but with an added salty element Renaissance: Citrus with a petitgrain greenness....and woods in the base All three are glorious and amazing for their citrus energy🍋💫♥️ Have an awesome new years eve celebration Hans! Speak again in 2024!!!🥳

I thought Rochas Moustache is the one similar to Tuxedo not Toy Boy, haven't had my nose on Toy Boy yet though

[@edwinmalmros6507]

Do you think i should buy Orto Parisi Seminalis or Bergamask?

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Hmmm, both are brilliant and highly unique. If you're in Northern hemisphere then I would recommend Seminalis; awesome as a cooler weather fragrance and Bergamask for more summer vibes. Having said that I do wear both all year round but feel that they project and sit better as per my suggestion above. However, having said this, I still strongly urge that you test on skin first. These are super unique and unusual fragrance's and don't work for everyone (I had an editor that worked for me that HATED Bergamask....for some reason it was highly offensive to him😖) Good luck Edwin!!💫

Am I the only one who found Amouage Guidance to be weird? I loved the bottle and was totally hype for it after so many reviewers said it was sandalwoody, vanillic, spicy etc. When I tried it at store, the opening notes were so off putting that I could not hang around in the vicinity. It is true that it has great projection because I had to leave the area to breathe again. I am really envious of those who can perceive this as a positive smell, becuse my nose really struggled to see past the opening. I just could not even stick around for dry down.

[@anthonybitonti5820]

Can you give me 2-3 Italian niche houses that are up and coming? And still good value in your opinion? Thanks!!

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Great to hear from you Anthony💫 I've found that I'm in love with a lot of the Italian perfumers, so this is a fun question! In relation to 'up and coming' this part I don't know, but in relation to unique Italian, then here is my suggestions: Meo Fusciuni: If you want something unique and still not mainstream, then any of Meo's creations are glorious. I would suggest you start with either Sogni, Luce, Little Song or Spirito....have a look at the episode that I created alongside Meo if you want to know more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eISXg6iilq1oqsU Nasomatto & Orto Parisi: Alessandro Gaultieri is the master of bizarre and wonderfully strange but divine. Here is a playlist with 99% of his collection: kzbin.info/aero/PLl2get-JHWtc8nzTJFuLwhmp27jKu6rD0 Filippo Sorcinelli: This is a House that I need to explore further. I only have one of his perfumes (Opus 1144) but here is another wonderfully unique perfumer. You can check out his range here: filipposorcinelli.com/en/collections/profumi Good Luck!!!💫
