[@iainpimenton2210]

Don't normally go in for fragrance videos on KZbin but I like how unique you two are, no nonsense, knowledgeable, subscribed only partway through my first video of yours. I'd love to see a part 2 of this, really entertaining to see some surprise hits.

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

Thank you! We've had several requests for a Part 2, so we may have to get on and film it!

[@monamarlowe]

Tabu by Dana is my 1 cheapy and my winter signature scent. Men love it!!! And so do I. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@scottwilbur25]

The Rahgba Classic is a hidden gem. Shh. Great list. You should do one of these every so often. Thanks!

[@gregoryburris6374]

Some very great picks!! I started wearing Tabac Man and Penguin this summer! You don't have to spend a lot iff coin to smell good....well great! Enjoyed this video! Greg B.

[@TheBTEAMwins]

What you said with Sex Appeal regarding how; if it was in a Tom Ford bottle we’d be singing a different tune loving it. That’s so true!

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

TheHonestjbone it’s true of a few things!

[@colhamilton9682]

Great list guys! What a pleasant surprise your number one was. Nobody ever seems to talk about Le 3' Homme...presumably because they don't know about it. Totally unique and one of the gems in my collection.

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

Col Hamilton absolutely. And I really believe that if it was released now with a Frederic Malle label and Frederic Malle price people would rave about it, but because it’s an ‘old cheapie’ people don’t bother with it.

[@benchampion3768]

Some real beauties in there and some I’ve never heard of and will have to investigate. Nice format and content and can tell you have a real passion and enthusiasm for quality fragrances.

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

Ben Champion thanks, and thanks for watching!

[@jean-philippebouchard2291]

Hi Gents - Would be great if you could do an updated version. Thanks

[@Sebastian-hs4mm]

I was totally bowled over by seeing Tabac in your video. It's a throwback to my childhood, having been my dad's accustomed after shave. The embodiment of old-fashioned, respectable, middle-class reliability. I had always assumed it was unknown outside Germany, and now this! I am still flabbergasted. There's more from the 80's here - Azzaro, the Caron, which I agree are timeless classics. I suspect that the Bentley, although a later release, might be a bit overpowering in that decades' tradition. Having entered nostalgia mode: do you know Aramis' Tuscany/Etruscan? It's now also a cheap fragrance that can be had for less than 25 pounds, and feels somewhat akin to Azzaro, although less sharp and anisic, softer and more accessible. That's the first fragrance I wore when I was seventeen years old. This video is a time-travel. To get back to the present: The most interesting scent in your presentation to me would be Arran Machrie. It definitely sounds the most contemporary.

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

Sebastian yes, the Arran is definitely the most ‘modern’ in feel. Amazing quality for the money.

[@Greggieboy76]

Great departure from your normal vids. Great to see Oud Qadim getting some love (thanks for the mention Jo). I've been impressed with quite a few from Junaid Jamshed. The quality of Oud Qadim makes you question the price tag of things like Rose d'Arabie etc.

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

Greggieboy76 100%

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

Oudh al Junaid is another stunner, and I can’t help but think that if it were in a Roja bottle people wouldn’t question the price/quality

[@sciguyfragz1616]

Yes azzaro PH one of my favorite fragrances ever! I own all 3 formulations and they are all amazing! Even the most recent formulation is amazing definitely the best cheapie I have ever purchased I will also add bogart pour homme is amazing too.

[@WhatHappenedFFS]

You guys just cost me money again, lol. Spent £200 on Amazon, which included three of your recs (Azzaro, Bentley, and Oudh), plus a pair of loafers and a bottle of Woods Old Navy Rum, all for less than a bottle of Aventus ;-)

[@metalsmithnick8714]

I love Encre Noire!! Loving your content gents... also "got to remember to wear this more" as the bottle has not a lot left 😂👌

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

I am Nicholas James thanks. It’s a stunner for the price . I wish there were more designer releases coming out now that were as bold

[@fernandomilan8754]

I just purchased L’Occitane Vetyver. That one got me curious for quite some time, but it was virtually impossible to find, and finally I found one. It’s more herbal with a quasi warm aura and some vetiver. Intriguing to say the least.

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

It's wonderful stuff

[@pmrp12]

Hey guys just discovered your channel and am loving your content-great knowledge, passion, and chemistry. Subscribed! I own and love Azzaro Pour Homme and Encre Noire, and have been meaning to try many others from your list. Keep up the great content!

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

Peter Rivera-Pierola thanks! You’ve got a couple of classics there!

[@AsadKhan-rn9pt]

So glad you loved the fragrance from Junaid Jamshed. He was a Pakistani icon in the music industry during his young years. He made a huge impact on music in Pakistan and India and his timeless songs are still famous even 30 years later. He started his company 'Junaid Jamshed' as a clothing brand and then ventured into fragrances as well. Really heart warming to see a Pakistani company making its mark. Respect to you two gentlemen from Pakistan 🇵🇰! Subscribed to your channel and I'm loving the fragrance reviews! Keep it up guys!

I love you two and your reviews. A great concept being in the church loft. (Are you ever going to reveal your location?). Keep up the reviews. Waving from Toronto, Canada.

[@marcjohn9404]

The EDC Tabac is great for the money. It smells like a cheaper Azzaro to me. Not as rich, not as good, but for the $6.25 I paid for it excellent. I can wear that a couple of days a week and preserve the good stuff. Azzaro's Intense version is supposedly quite good, some reviews have said it's more similar to the original formula.

[@sotirisaspiotis145]

Greetings from Greece!Mr. Smelly brought me to your chanel and i must say that you are doing a great job guys, already subscribed! At 12:27-12:30 you are probably talking about "Sir Irisch Moos" another fragrance by Mauer & Wirtz.Oh and just to honour my country Greece , i have my own "cheapie" proposal the fragrance Sculpture by the house of the greek designer Nikos. Also you must check out the Greek house of Korres makes amazing fragrances.

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

Sotiris Aspiotis greetings! Thanks for watching! Yes, Korres do some great fragrances. I own Saffron amber agarwood cardamom, which I bought whilst in Athens

[@petrl9838]

Can confirm irisch Moos is an absolute banger. Fresh, green but masculine sour, sweaty but not musky

Great video! I absolutely love Raghba, it's my favourite on my husband.

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

Ami Loves Perfume it’s a gem isn’t it?

[@jdaniels4898]

Raghba wood intense from the same family is great too. And ultracheap too. I can't stop thinking, if it would be in some fance bottle and some niche brand name on it, it could be sold 10 times the price easily.

[@Pinerocks]

Fantastic list, I own three of them. I would add Aramis 900 or Havana, around £20 online.

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

Great choices!

[@blowfishes]

Bentley for Men Intense was woefully reformulated in (I think) 2016. A more upscale version to my nose is Pardon by Nasomatto.

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

That's sad news. Idole by Lubin is also an upscale version

[@loveincorporated9658]

Eau de Missions is a good Vanilla scent. There are others I prefer, but for the price you can't beat it.

I find that Tabac reminds me very much of Chanel No 5 for some reason. Am I crazy for thinking so? I mean they share some top, middle and base notes. Maurer & Wirtz also own 4711, fyi.

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

Not crazy, I see where you’re coming from.

[@001PeteK]

Only just found you two. Very good video. Will be definitely trying some of you suggestions. I have actually got the Raghba one. Great smell but on me I found it didn't last as long as you suggested. Maybe mines an old formula..? Will be checking out your site after this.

[@timwilcox9600]

I love your reviews and your whole Hawkesmoor London church format. If you come back to Manchester check out the Somali-run shop Balestro on Claremont Rd. They do huge amounts of super cheap Arabic everyday fragrances. I got Arba wardut and Amber Ood both by Rasasi of Dubai, UAE. Presumably what the workers wear...

[@bradhillier234]

Just finding your YT page. Im a couple of videos in and would like to know what is the backdrop? Its amazing!

if it (Azzaro pour Homme) were in a Creed bottle it would be several times the price and only half as strong.

@wafts from the loft I bought azzaro pour homme from Tj Maxx for like $15 or $20 and it smelled like a barber shop scent and to my surprise I got alot of compliments the day I wore it to work. And I wanted to try Jovan's sex appeal but I bout Jovan's tropical musk instead and it's beautiful but now I wanna try sex appeal and they sell it at Citi trends for like $5 to $8.

05:50 Isn't that one Daniel's wife really hates 😜 I prefer the A L'Extreme. One I miss in the list of cheapies is "Aspen For Men Coty for men" (1989) which is reminiscent of Green Irish Tweed (not clone and not same quality of course), green version of Davidoff Cool Water.

That le couvent bottle goes for 150 USD on ebay now...when did u get it for 3.99

Yoo hoo from your new fan in Wales

[@NidhivanNagari]

Would anyone who owns and wears "lalique Encrie Noire"please tell me if it is the little brother to "Chanel Sycamore " If it would be unisex and If a woman could wear it. I checked out the reviews on the perfume and it was stated as very masculine and a beast mode mans cologne filled with vetiver, cypress, resins and smoke. It sounds really nice and I was tempted to purchase, but first wanted to know If it was strictly a man's fragrance ?

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

There is definitely a relation to Sycamore, but this does feel a bit cheaper, a little more synthetic. I suppose it’s easy to think of vetiver as masculine, but I wear plenty of ‘feminine’ floral fragrances, so if you think you like the sound of a dark, cypressy vetiver then go for it

[@NidhivanNagari]

@@WaftsfromTheLoft ok thanks. I did find a partially used bottle through a second hand website, and think I am going to spray lightly and see if I like it.

[@miles-178]

don´t you smell overly sweet synthetic rum in bentley intense? that´s something that i always (more than 3 years, trying 2015 batch and 2018 reformulated) ... still the same problem with that

[@WaftsfromTheLoft]

Definitely a sweet rum vibe, but I don't find it overly synthetic. I think Chambre Noire is similar but better, and if you want to spend the money it certainly smells more expensive than BI.

Mr. Cheap Scents so I gather from your name! There are some fragrances which ARE worth a lot of money, particularly if they’ve got expensive ingredients like rose, sandalwood etc. Aventus is nice, but the price is ridiculous

[@thefragrantlife14]

@@WaftsfromTheLoft I totally agree. I get so much flack from a co-worker that tells people his Invictus cost $80 or $90 and tells people Im called Mr Ross or Mr TJ Maxx cuz I shop discount. He don't realize that the same Fragrance he wears for retail is the same Fragrance I wear for $20 to $40 discounted.
