These 5 Fragrances Are NOT Worth Your Money. (hear me out)

This one is going to upset some of you...but only if you choose not listen to what I'm actually saying!
I'm not saying these are bad fragrances...well, maybe one of them...regardless of my very particular reasoning for avoiding these 5 fragrances, here is what is most important:
If you have already smelled these fragrances and you love them, keep loving them. Pay me no mind. But if you remotely care about my opinion on fragrances, I only suggest that you take heed to what I'm saying about each of these fragrances before you decide to purchase them.
Because I don't wish to control anyone's taste, should you still have interest in purchasing the fragrances I've outlined, I'll have links below.

I’m seeing your comments: DHP is not discontinued in the Eastern Hemisphere, and that is wonderful for y’all 😆 My messaging for it is mainly directed at my Western Hemisphere brethren/sistren. Bottom line, if you’re able to get it for a “good” price (relative), get it! 🔥

[@Carnivore.A.J]

Luckily it’s available in Germany, but it’s hella expensive 100ml costs 145$. Sometimes it’s on sale in German Airports for employees only, I know some people working there so i can get it for 100$-130$ still a lot of money to me but it’s worth it’s price 🤷‍♂️

Hawas gets me more unsolicited compliments than any other fragrance in my collection. Work, gym, grocery store, you name it. Strangers coming up to tell me I smell amazing and that they must know what it is...women and men of all ages. Personally, it's not the favorite in my collection but when I want to be noticed, it's Hawas no question.

As a huge fan of Hawas, I can understand your gripe. For me though, the scent is just so pleasant and I don’t mind the scent being linear. And I definitely agree with Percival complaint. I like it, but It’s too familiar to the two fragrances you mentioned. I do love me some Sedley though. Another great video Justin!

[@rbiamby]

[@SirSillageSniffington]

Also, I fully agree with Percival. It smells good, but for the price it really is so close to Fierce, that many people will just think you’re wearing Fierce (especially since so many people are familiar with how that smells). Who wants to spend niche money for people to think you’re wearing a basic super popular designer scent? There are so many better options for the money imo, even just from Parfums de Marly.

[@jroark101]

Hawas is a dumb reach for me, it never offends anyone around me and I find it nice. It actually always gets me compliments even though that’s not my main goal. On my skin it’s not too strong actually. I will agree it’s pretty linear and overall really love it for what it is though. My thoughts are similar to percival. Monte Blanc legend EDP would be a cheaper alternative if someone enjoys that scent DNA IMO.

[@blankmandastankman]

Folks, enjoy this hobby but don't let it become an obsession! An obsession will only harm you sooner or later.

[@derrickarmour]

I like hawas's longevity because I don't have to re-apply for a long night of clubbing. However, I find that it is so frickin' loud I don't even feel comfortable wearing it when I go for drinks with friends at a restaurant (before hitting the club) or at a friend's house for pre-drinks 🤣🤣🤣 Agree that it is very linear as well.

[@Rickpa]

[@MCWon212]

Too strong? Spray less... Plenty of Niche that could have gone here that are too strong and expensive and stink. I'm looking at you Interlude!

[@stayfreshproductions]

It’s not about what “stinks”, because that is completely subjective. My reasoning is not based on the nature of the scent (I said it smells nice), but it’s the fact that it doesn’t change, and it’s overwhelming at that…and I only wear 2-3 sprays max with it. Lotta folks love Interlude.

[@jamesriley9800]

Hawas anymore then 3 to 4 sprays is too much but I have gotten a bunch of compliments

[@Carnivore.A.J]

Hawas is so damn strong that I can’t spray it on my neck area it’s impossible. But I really enjoy the smell of it especially if it lingers around the air. If I smell it up close, I get instantly knocked out. 😂 There is just one single note in it that I don’t like I don’t know what it is but anyways I can recommend it. Great video 🤙🏼

It's nice to see a fragrance reviewer give honest opinions about fragrances that shouldn't be hyped. There always seems to be a lot of hype in the fragrance world. I used to blind buy but I've come to realize that fragrances are too subjective for that. Now I know to sample.

[@craigtillman5988]

This is refreshing. As a collector, I appreciate it. Your review on Hawas actually perfectly describes my experience with it's brother Shuhrah. Very accurate and honest and appreciated.

[@christotiroy866]

shuhrah is boring or something?

[@NicholasAchladis]

I gotta be honest. I wore Fierce for over a decade way before I got into fragrances. I loved it but felt it was time to grow up as I was about to enter my mid 30's. A couple years after, I got bit by the fragrance bug. Parfums De Marly became my favorite niche house. I didn't and still don't understand the comparison between Fierce and Percival. A couple things I will say about this topic. First off, I have actually been asked if I was wearing Fierce while wearing Percival quite frequently. I don't understand it but I have gotten that. Second, I never used to get compliments with Fierce. Sometimes, yes. But not with any regularity. But I get LOADS of compliments with Percival. It's like fishing with dynamite! As far as my own opinion. I got a decant of Percival originally and was originally disappointed. It kind of has an aldahidic smell as opposed to Fierce which is much sweeter of the opening. Fierce is much more linear and doesn't evolve much if at all while I think Percival actually evolved quite a bit. Percival is also really long lasting for a fresh fragrance while Fierce had pretty bad longevity in my opinion. When it is said that Percival is a version of Fierce, I would say maybe they are in the same class, but I don't think you can call it a version of Fierce. But to each their own

[@stayfreshproductions]

All I have to say is this: there is a reason people around you have frequently mistaken Percival for Fierce. 😉

[@jasona9846]

I bought Hawas bc of allllllll the hype. Smelled it and immediately thought it smelled like discount ZARA men’s cologne. It’s nice. But it wasn’t unique.

[@clowtears1898]

Hawas game is just too strong 1st bottle got stolen at my workplace, 2nd bottle got a tons of compliments & a coworker cheated on her fiance Proceed to buy my 3rd bottle.

[@khunjeau8393]

I understand your view on Percival, but I own my bottle for a couple of years now and only recently tested Legend (never tested Fierce). The quality difference was stunning, as was the difference in performance.. It makes me appreciate and enjoy my Percival a lot more..

[@MrFirstdance2000]

Let me say 2 things...aside from I like your channel and you do a good of job of highlighting the more costly fragrances. But, regarding this fragrance, when you go to a wedding and you are introduced to the bride and she remarks "Wow, you smell great" Hawas is worth the cost of its original scent. I try to consider the Ph levels (acidity & alkaline) that can affect the way a scent reacts to my skin. I've gone to spraying clothes over my skin!

[@RodT87]

I love Hawas. I just spray less. Love the strength of this fragrance...and the scent.

[@wiwi059]

DHP is my scent for tonight’s party🥳

[@sidneydunston]

As much as I hate to admit it, you are absolutely right. There are some really nice fragrances on this list but there are better fragrances that get the job done. Hawas I really like, but for the reasons you mentioned, I don't really reach for it.

[@googah.qq1]

We need more honest and objective people like you. Even extremely experienced perfumers have certain specific interests and tastes that goes in a certain direction but i see lots off POPULAR KZbinrs "loving" and boasting off on any fragrance that they put their hands on (don't mistake this as appreciating the art). Oh this is awesome this is crazy and a week later after a new "flanker" releases they say that (MUUH THEY UPGRADED THE FRAGRANCE). They don't even try to describe the scent they just boast some random stuff. They don't put statistical graphics of wheter ppl like it either, they usually bullshit about the fragrance and throw up random terms to sound trustful. I ONLY WATCH -ATH -JUSTIN (YOU) -THE PERFUME GUY and couple of other underground channels that didn't really made out to the surface yet.

To my nose, Rasasi Hawas has an ultra cheap and nasty smell to it. Reminds me of discount bin fragrances from the late 90's/early 2000's. Performance was insane (but as Justin said just way too much).

[@coleandda7475]

I kind of agree with you on the Percival thing but it’s a slippery slope. If we say that then aventus should never be on anyone’s list since we have club de nuit, or br540 cause we have untold or amber oud rouge or whatever it may be. The angels share clones. I mean the list goes on…at the same time I’m a fan of just buying the real deal. However I’m a huge fan of AF fierce and still wear it to this day. Percival for me would be redundant

[@jeremiahblackmonlee5776]

Bro I agree with this list just by the way it started I don't like Dior parfum so I agree with that and Hawas literally stayed on my skin for 2 days after I showered but I like them so this list is stating facts for sure

[@kristofraemdonck]

DH Parfum is easier to come by in Europe. But I understand that price is a valid reason not to get a fragrance. In my opinion however, this is well worth in access of 150 euros. As for Hawas, to me is not that strong, batch variation probably. My reason for avoiding it is that I don't like it. In the end you have to decide for yourself what you are willing to pay for a certain smell and that is a personal thing, so no hard feelings 😉

[@Pyroshaq75]

I agree with everything that was said in this video. Granted, I dont know anything about BALR, but this video was solid.

I think Roja is going to x you from their releases now 😉 I would add to the list every Bond No. 9 and Fragrances Du Bois at retail

[@OsAbliNgin911]

Not every Bond No. 9 fragrance. There are two Bond no 9 fragrances that get a lot of hype and fragrance reviewers seem to love. Bleeker Street and New Harlem. Bond No. 9 gets a lot of hate because of their retail price, and the fact that most of their fragrances smell more like designer fragrances compared to niche fragrances by reviewers, but you can always find good prices for Bond No. 9 fragrances at discounters, and they have fragrances that people sleep on. Bond no 9 is not for everybody, but there were fragrance reviewers that loved the house. Kevin Samuels when he used to do fragrance reviews said the house of Bond no 9 was his secret weapon. He had many Bond no 9 fragrances in his collection. Bond No. 9 and Creed are like the first two niche houses folks that are into designer fragrances usually try or buy. Bond No. 9 and Creed were introductory niche houses for many folks probably due to the hype of Creed Aventus and the legendary New Harlem fragrance with that pancake syrupy smell that a lot of fragrance reviewers were talking about.

[@OsAbliNgin911]

Even finding decent prices for Fragrances Du Bois at discounters is hard. You can save money on them, but not as much as you would think compared to retail. People are not pulling the trigger to buy their fragrances even at discounted prices unless they really love the fragrance because it is still high compared to retail.

[@SirSillageSniffington]

For anyone in the USA looking for DHP, just ask anyone you know who’s travelling to Europe (or nearby) on holiday to look out for you. I’m not USA based, but a family member picked me up a bottle from a European Airport for ~$120 or so. That being said, I would agree with some other comments - I feel that even at $250 for 100ml, it’s worth the price tag. It’s as good a scent as I’ve ever smelled, so I think even with a niche price tag it’s still a fair buy. Obviously, don’t blind buy it though - always sample first like Justin said.

Lucky you! 😆 A majority of my viewers are in North America, where we cannot get it. 🥲

Ajmal blu is in the DNA of Fierce for diet cheap.

Ok these are not worth my money but that cat piss bottle crap chipotle mistique , that you keep shilling is?

[@stayfreshproductions]

…I think you’re assuming I know what you’re talking about. You’re gonna have to be more specific. Thanks in advance.

Bro just put 2 or 3 sprays!!!!( dats how I put it on ) It ain’t dat strong!! Hawas is great!!

[@stayfreshproductions]

I’m glad you like it 👌🏾🔥

[@mypawgi]

HAWAS is a middle eastern perfume...and i love it... 150 AED...FATTAN is also great

[@professorx8258]

I love your humble energy, Mr. Justin, but I hate to say that I disagree with a lot of your opinions about fragrances, especially with fragrances such as Rasasi Hawas. What I'm beginning to suspect, especially of the fact that you say that it's too strong, is that you are beginning to contradict yourself and am making expectations for fragrances that don't exist. My questions for you are (1.) When you smelled Rasasi Hawas, what were you expecting , and (2.) Can you name me three alternatives to Rasasi Hawas?

[@Hipsters11]

Well said Dior homme intense - not for everybody. If you like the smell of lipstick then go for it. PERCIVAL - this scent is just annoying. So glad I sold my bottle. Gives you that door Sauvage vibes but in a slightly different and annoying way . Nothing special

We need more such videos! 👍🏼

[@belairscents]

Hi there, just for the info Dior Homme Parfum is still in production & sold with a 100ml bottle! Cheerio & happy Holidays🎄🎅

[@MrStewbee]

Hawas too cloying for me, even on a half spray. Pass

[@JorgeGonzalez-nz7hd]

Hey Justin. How bout selling my your hawas??

[@stayfreshproductions]

😆

[@sainteangelo4662]

Hawas has garnered me many compliments and I do enjoy the smell. But I agree, it is too strong. I personally don’t mind, but my mom gets angry whenever I wear it around her since it’s too strong😂. I’ve also had people ask me what I was wearing, when I was 30+ft away from them😂😂 it’s a fun gem.

[@MR.ROCKETT]

which batch? mine doesn't lasts even 10 mins .

[@Cooliewhistles]

What year did you buy it? I have a 2022 bottle and it performs slightly above average but no more, and it’s a rare frag that my nose doesn’t tire of

[@CiprianFx59]

Yo I was shaving and the fooooking sound fxs caught me off guard, cut that shit out.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Haha, not my problem! 😆

[@mannyell6297]

hawas is overpowering and obnoxious WHEN its over-sprayed and applied too close, the secret to Hawas is to literally spray it once at HALF AN ARMS LENGTH AWAY!!! Between the finger tips and elbow, is the distance you want to apply "BEASTMODE" frags like these.. And usually just one spray will do but absolutely no more than 2.

[@OlfactiveOverdose]

Roja is going to be angry 😆

[@shreejithsurendran5343]

So...Hawas is not good because it performs well...🤔

[@stayfreshproductions]

You missed it…

[@timallen3166]

I don't particularly like Hawas by Rasasi...I was complimented 3 times the first time I wore it. 😂

please try to take out the white noise from your video :)
