[@Redolessence]

Thank you very much!

[@masumkhan4040]

[@Sophia1a1]

Amazing list!!! Always be the best, and true. Bravo, Steven!

[@Redolessence]

+Ryan Mendiola Thank you very much, Ryan!

[@miggs80]

Great video Steve. I appreciate everything you put into making these videos and your retained knowledge on all the notes and details.

[@jmhoke83]

Amazing list man very creative I loved it!

[@Redolessence]

Josh Hoke Thank you!

[@otis83]

Great list, Steven! Two years running for Eau d'Italie Acqua Decima as #1. I will definitely have to check that one out!!!

[@Redolessence]

+lj6583 Definitely sample it first! Thank you for watching!

[@WildDoveX]

Outstanding! So many I need to get samples of

[@theogenis946]

As always you are by far the most affable and eloquent fragrance reviewer on KZbin. It is always a pleasure to watch your videos. If I may suggest, a designer list would be great. Also If I may add, it would be great if you can mention, briefly, the performance of the fragrances (longevity and projection).Thank you most kindly in advance. keep up the good work sir.👍

[@Redolessence]

The designer list is coming out very soon! Thank you very much for the kind words!

[@theogenis946]

my pleasure sir you deserve all the best. Thank you in advance I can't wait to see it...btw the Tommy Bahama review is just formidable.

[@ignaciosalazar7070]

Thank you for another stellar video!!! I know I found like a broken record, but I can't wait for another review! Thanks!!!

[@Redolessence]

+Ignacio Salazar I truly appreciate all of your support, Ignacio!

[@fragcentral6168]

Excellent work! Of the one's on your list Amongst Waves (an amazing new entry by Gallagher) and VIW are going to be 2017 summer staples for me.

[@Redolessence]

+FragCentral Thank you so much for watching!

[@mahs01]

Awesome list & video :) love it

[@Redolessence]

Thank you!

[@ghifakanz3814]

can't wait for the designer list

[@Redolessence]

Ghiva Kanz Thank you! Coming soon!

[@philipsgarage]

Great list, just picked up a bottle of Nio and love it. Will have to try some of the other ones from the list.

[@Redolessence]

Oh, awesome! Wear it in good health!

[@Knightmare456]

I know you mentioned it but I'm surprised you didn't include Xerjoff Nio, for me it's one of the best summer niche fragrances, great fresh citrus that lasts for the whole duration (8+ hours). I haven't tried any other fragrances that have been able to carry on the citrus notes for such a long time.

[@edgarm.rodriguez2246]

Fantastic list!!! Im going to buy the bottles starting @ #1!!!!

[@Redolessence]

Thank you very much for watching! I say sample first!

[@edgarm.rodriguez2246]

absolutely! ive already sampled a few from your other lists and I fell in love with them immediately ( amazingreen by comme des garcons and menthe fraiche by heeley ) such amazing scents....and picked at random!!!

[@edgarm.rodriguez2246]

im also super curious about Sunshine Man by Amouage.... i keep reading wonders about this one....

[@marufmamurovich3793]

Awaiting your "top 10 designer list" for summer.

[@ritankarsasmal380]

i like ur new style of putting a still image of all the fragrance at the end...we can have a closer look to the bottles...:)

[@Redolessence]

I will try to do that more often!

[@ritankarsasmal380]

yeah pls do :)

[@Zolallo13]

Always enjoyed your balance of personal taste and academia in your episodes. Just picked up a bottle of Reflection Man per your recommendation.

[@Redolessence]

+Giancarlo Di Mizio Jr I hope you enjoy it! You will love it. Wear it in good health!

[@eziox10]

Good list brother! As a fellow New Jersey person I know the struggle of 70 degree summer days lol. I wish it was 85-90 every day

[@Redolessence]

True!

[@ImagineScent]

Digitalis is a very nice one! I get a bunch of cucumber freshness from it. It's awesome haha. Awesome list man! Just ordered Virgin Island Water. Can't wait for it :) Also, I feel the same way about Reflection Man! My gf's favorite on me.

[@Redolessence]

That's awesome! I saw your video on the line. Awesome job!

[@T-ea_Rose]

I love Commodity Bergamot amongst my top for summer pics for sure first time I smelled it was intoxicating!

[@Redolessence]

+T Rose I'm happy you had the chance to experience it! It's amazing. Thanks for watching!

[@gcskates1]

Great list Steven!

[@Redolessence]

Garry Carloni Thank you, Garry!

[@joserauldino]

Steven - great list. My Top 10 Summer Fragrances (niche) 1. Creed Virgin Island Water 2. Creed Millisieme Imperial 3. Atelier Vetiver Fatal 4. Olfactive Studios Still Life 5. Essentric Molecule 04 6. Indian Wood 11.1 Pierre Guillaume 7. Lili Bermuda South Water 8. Bond No.9 Bleecker Street 9. Mandarino di Amalfi Acqua Tom Ford 10. Malin and Goetz Dark Rum EDP

[@Redolessence]

Incredible list! Some of those almost made my list!

[@molly4495]

I definitely want to check out the eau d'Italie line. This summer I am most excited to wear Acqua di Parma Fico do Amalfi, Serge Lutens A La Nuit, and Chanel Chance eau Fraiche.

[@Redolessence]

Great selections!

[@stinkcat2007]

Thank you for your review and list, my Fav is Amouage Reflection Eau De Parfum for men. Love it

[@Redolessence]

+Michael Chahin Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@stinkcat2007]

Quick question have you tried Jesus Del Pozo Arabian Nights? I can't seem to find it any where. Can you recommend anyone who might carry it? Thanks

[@mastiffs9817]

nice video !! waiting for the designer list :D

[@Redolessence]

Thank you! Coming out soon!

[@mauricesas7650]

Great list, I love Zegna Acqua di Bergamotto and Le Labo Bergamote 22 and i'm gonna order a sample of Acqua Decima. It's always good to have a few high quality bergamot fragrances for summer because they are no brainers for the heat. I only miss Mandarino di Amalfi in the list;)

[@Redolessence]

I know! I do love Mandarino di Amalfi, and it would have made my top 20 for sure! It was so hard to narrow it down.

[@epadilla147]

Alright, you definitely sold me on Acqua Decima. I almost feel like blind buying a bottle from Luckyscent, but I think I'll go ahead and sample it first, along with Jardin du Poete. Hopefully, this becomes my next niche house to look out for!

[@Redolessence]

Thank you! I don't like everything they have put out, but Acqua Decima is a gem. Thank you very much for watching! Definitely sample it first!

[@billvaras1534]

Steven thank you for your very insightful list! Amouage Reflection Man is very nice, although I don't own a bottle I have a Scentbird 10ml decant and it is reserved for special ocassions. When I visit NY next fall I will definitely buy a LeLabo Bergamot 22 bottle.

[@Redolessence]

Hey, Bill! Yes, Bergamote 22 is highly worth picking up! Thank you for watching!

[@waragainstwar1]

A lot of surprises, great list. No aventus?

[@Redolessence]

+Rohan Kapoor Thank you! Aventus is a year round scent for me. I love wearing it in the fall.

[@albertogonzalez7166]

I truly respect your top 10 niche list. No Tom Ford? Holy moly, you have a ton of bottles! Steven, you are almost catching up to Ashton from the channel Gents Scents. I'm around 57 bottles and I already think it's too many haha. Never that. The more, the merrier. 👍

[@Redolessence]

I know, right! I almost had Mandarino di Amalfi on the list, but I have others I look forward to wearing more.

[@albertogonzalez7166]

Redolessence I completely understand. After all, it's your top 10 of your choosing. Keep up the good work! 👍 Your next collaboration with Carlos perhaps could be a battle between Aventus vs Clive Christian. What an intriguing video that would be.

[@Hatsuyume82]

As always, another great video and great suggestions....have you had the chance to try Nero by Mazzolari, a niche scent that resembles Creeds Aventus very closely, yet at the same time smells more citric, green and fresh (and somehow more "mature") than Aventus. Definitely very convincing and worth checking out. Thumbs up & keep up your great work! Greetings from Germany!

[@Redolessence]

I haven't tried that one yet! I will be on the lookout for it! Thank you for watching!

[@Mrran4life]

Wow! what a great list

[@Redolessence]

+Mrran4life Thank you!

[@gymrat9095]

awesome video! i would like to see a designer summer fragrances 2017

[@Redolessence]

That's coming soon! Thank you for watching!

[@Carlos.G97]

Love your videos as always, I was wondering if you have any recommendations to start up with niche fragrances....specially for Florida weather. I've been looking into Bleecker Street to start with niche but I'm not sure.

[@heatphaze]

Damn...there's a few here that i haven't heard of that sound great. I thought i was done with all my sampling for a while, thanks Steven lol

[@Redolessence]

+Chinensis .Official Haha. Thank you for watching!

[@whynotgiveyoutheclue2202]

great shirt brother !!😉😉

[@Redolessence]

Thank you!

[@bryanbarfield6578]

to all you Haters ,,, just because you Don't like it, don't knock It....

[@Redolessence]

Well said!

[@jpmavichana]

Great list. I have the same Superman shirt. A lot of people are asking me were I bought it

[@Redolessence]

Haha... that's awesome! I got mine at Walmart, I think.

[@jpmavichana]

Redolessence My wife bought me the Superman Shirt from Marshall.

[@Redolessence]

Awesome!

[@RockSClone]

Nice job, Steven. Any comments or reviews on Erolfa?

[@Redolessence]

+RockSClone I don't own a bottle, actually. However, I find the smell to be rather nice!

[@RockSClone]

Redolessence Any chance of a review or comparison to other Creeds?

[@Redolessence]

I might make a part 2 very soon!

[@mr.smellgood2794]

Awesome list always enjoy you're content very energetic explanations of each frag. Btw nice Superman tee. Geek Life Until the next Life💪

[@Redolessence]

Keith Thomas Thank you for watching!

[@yousseftarabey3776]

Hi steven, the zegna niche line fragrance is Italian Bergamot. Acqua di Bergamotto is in the standard designer line.

[@Redolessence]

Thank you for the clarification!

[@Redolessence]

On Fragrantica, they put them all in the same collection. They're all part of the Essenze line.

[@BiggDaddy479]

I'm waiting to see a review of Aqva Atlantique and also where it falls on your summer designer list

[@Redolessence]

I hope to review that one soon! Thank you for the interest!

[@andykone1696]

wow my favourite reviewer .....nice collection

[@Redolessence]

Thank you! That means a lot!

[@nathalie2241]

Please make a video with your top choices for inexpensive fragrances that smell amazing and have great longevity like Versace Dreamer and so on...

[@Redolessence]

+Nat Mend001 That's a great idea for a video. Thank you for the recommendation!

[@sararazeghi]

Hello! Can you please make equivalents of your top 10 lists for women? I greatly appreciate your precision and your detailed videos of a lot of fragrances and most importantly I have liked most of what you recommended so far which means based on my subjective opinion you have a great taste! Thank you.

[@Redolessence]

Thank you very much, Sara! I would love to make such a video for women! I will begin working on it today!

[@sararazeghi]

Thank you so much. I cannot wait. I also have another suggestion if I may. Since some of the fragrance you suggest especially on your top lists are Unisex, it would be great to know your opinion on how appropriate or likable you think they are on women; that way even though your video is not specifically made for your female subscribers, we can benefit more from your views.

[@Redolessence]

I started making the list, and I hope you enjoy it!

[@sararazeghi]

I'm already very excited! Thank you.

[@christinemadrazo6755]

Bravo Steven, bravo.

[@Redolessence]

Thank you, Christine!

[@hajeansonne]

love VIW! and eager to try commodity bergamot, and curious about phleur as a brand

[@Redolessence]

+Hayley Comments Thank you for watching!

[@javiersantos479]

Greattttr video !!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Redolessence]

+Javier Santos Thank you, Javier!

[@ProudToBeAmerican1]

Great list! What do you recommend for a summer, evening date?(niche)

[@Redolessence]

For a date, I would say something like Reflection Man, Parco Palladiano V, or Acqua di Bergamotto.

[@BiggDaddy479]

I'm really interested in your take on the new Boss The Scent Intense. Do you have a review coming in the near future? 🍎

[@djdilema]

Enjoyed the vid and noticing you now have your By Killian purchases on display? Which ones do you own and which one is your favourite?

[@Redolessence]

Adrian Douglas I have Intoxicated, Straight to Heaven, Smoke for the Soul, Criminal of Love, Moonlight in Heaven, and Good Girl Gone Bad. My favorite is Straight to Heaven.

[@Guinea54]

great video just curious, how is the performance on commodity bergamot

[@Redolessence]

+Guinea54 Not great. Like 4 hours. =X

[@Guinea54]

I want to thank you for always responding to me and everyone else. That has to be rough being as popular as you are. Its appreciated bud and its impressive.

[@Redolessence]

I don't view myself as very popular. I try to respond to every comment! Thank you for always commenting like I ask!

[@Raph19911]

yessssss 2017 list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Redolessence]

Thank you for watching!

[@keithbertrand8843]

nice list man. many I dont know.

[@Redolessence]

Thank you for watching!

[@scubaleon3460]

I was actually expecting Battito d'Ali. Is there gonna be a review on that one?

[@Redolessence]

Leon I did a review with my friend Chad a while ago. Thank you for watching!

[@hasib1625]

Great list Monsieur Steven How do I get a background like that? 🙂

[@Redolessence]

Hasib Hahaha. Thank you for watching!

[@Iceburg0032]

I really need to get my nose on Le Labo Bergamot 22 because alot of people seem to love that 1 I am seeing it all over the place it seems like.

[@Redolessence]

Yeah, it's great!

[@iulianalexandru1830]

Steve.What do you think of Caron fragrance?

[@Redolessence]

I like the original! I own it, and I think it's a great lavender!

[@StrngrDngr]

Been wearing Uomo by Ermenegildo Zegna, Soo underrated

[@Redolessence]

+Akenaton Ghallard Indeed!

[@rzimmerman601]

Steven, did you pick up the Sgt Pepper 50th anniversary yet? What do u think of it?

[@Redolessence]

+R Zimmerman I want to! I think I will eventually pick it up!

[@rzimmerman601]

Did you get Paul McCartney tix for his September shows in NY? You cant miss him! Sorry for going off topic.

[@Redolessence]

That's totally cool! I am debating it because I went last year!

[@fuentesa75]

will you have a designer list?

[@Redolessence]

Albert Fuentes Absolutely!

[@ZachyB98]

I've been thinking about picking up Reflection Man. The problems are that I own Pegasus already(I've seen people say they give a similar vibe). I've also heard that it's been reformulated(idk if that turned out to be really bad, or if it's still basically the same). I'm not into hunting for vintage bottles, so would it be worth it to me, or should I go for a different Amouage?

[@ABC-ov6lm]

DrunkNikolai666 always Sample First.

[@Redolessence]

I think Reflection Man is the most versatile of the bunch. But yeah, sample first!

[@michaelmcdonald9847]

is parco palladiano v very similar to grey vetiver edp?

[@Redolessence]

Michael McDonald I would say so, yes.

[@wilfietz]

Please review Louis Vuitton perfumes

[@Redolessence]

+wil fietz I have been wanting to try the line!

[@HeitorEduardo1]

Which project and fix more in your opinion ?

[@Redolessence]

The strongest fragrance on this list is probably Amongst Waves or Reflection Man!

[@HeitorEduardo1]

THx

[@kingbuja9925]

can you please review bergamot by commodity?

[@nicolasmayrand7157]

LAYER ALERT!!!!!!! Fuel for life with dior sauvage ... a fresh grapefruit peppery with ambroxan and a soapiness leather ending. let me know

[@nicolasmayrand7157]

on a hoooooot day

[@Redolessence]

+nicolas mayrand That sounds pretty good! I will try it!

[@factsfacts5823]

Do you know where I can get Tom Ford Mandarino Di Amalfi discounted or do you have any coupon codes for any where that carry this fragrance

[@majorkonfuzion1007]

gotta work smarter! gotta have them all !!😂

[@Redolessence]

Hahaha. Thank you for watching!

[@ThatCologneGuy]

850?! wow!

[@Redolessence]

That Cologne Guy I know! It's crazy to think about how much I have amassed. Thank you for watching!

[@ThatCologneGuy]

I think I asked you before (I just switched youtube accounts), but have you tried Armani Code Sport Athlete? That juice rocks! It also have a mojito vibe. Too bad they discontinued it. Fantastic stuff.

[@Redolessence]

Ah, that stinks. I haven't tried that one. I will keep an eye (or nose) out for it though!

[@zaqs_9073]

very good

[@Redolessence]

+Walderramas Colombiano Thank you!

[@charlietay4297]

Do you prefer Gucci Pour Homme II or L'homme by YSL for a everyday teenager scent?

[@Redolessence]

Charlie Tay I would say go with L'Homme! Thank you for watching!

[@newnameofmychannel]

good video

[@Redolessence]

Zeeshan Ahmed Thank you!

[@ulisesmontes4809]

Hey Mr.Red could you do a Top 10 (Metrosexual) fragrance list??

[@Redolessence]

Sure! I will work on that!

[@fardshayan]

so glad that there is nO Aventus in this list :). dont tell that to carlos he will kill me :D btw i LOVE Acqua Decima.

[@Redolessence]

+FARD Haha. My lips are sealed!

[@krischan5186]

Moss by Commodity is a good Spring/Summer too! They just don't last. Sigh.

[@kingbuja9925]

can

[@truonggiangnguyen687]

Aventus ist out.

[@Redolessence]

+Trường Giang Nguyễn For this list, yeah.

[@danielconstantin6269]

plus Un Jardin Sur le Nil :)

[@Redolessence]

+Daniel Constantin Definitely going in my designer list!

[@danielconstantin6269]

Redolessence For me Hermes, Dior and Chanel, are semi niche houses. quality and prices.

[@Redolessence]

I understand you!

[@whynotgiveyoutheclue2202]

listen, am using bleu de chanel since so long , it's bit expensive but not as much as creed fragrances. I am looking for a very unique and seductive scent, would you suggest me a good one that lasts long, affordable and have that great smell which my fellows may like. One for the summer and one for the winter. I always desire to be surrounded by people complimenting my unique scent. Thanks😎😎

[@kingbuja9925]

can you please review bergamot by commodity?

[@RyzFragz34]

Great list Steven!!

[@Redolessence]

+RyzFragz34 Thank you!
