Penhaligon’s Sartorial is one of my fav pick ups this year so far

[@wannabegolfin24-72]

It's a stunning fougere. Bright, crisp, clean, debonair... & just a true gentleman's fragrance.

[@regalbeagle2321]

I think reviewers getting bottles for free bothers other fragrance reviewers more than it bothers your regular viewers. As far as us as a consumer having no business or need to own this many fragrances (or somewhere in the ball park, or on their way to it), I would say that you might've left out that this might be a PASSION for some of us.. 👍

[@beamncoke45]

100 bottles is too much lol I'm set for life. Thinning the herd is in need.

[@mattl7424]

It’s because many get free bottles and it’s basically an ad for the companies. Free marketing. Pushing the same designer scent after scent. Flankers are boring . Tuxedo gets hyped, la Malle , aqua digio… so on. Oh and clones. They’re not really “wow”, that’s why we turn to artesian houses like Areej le Dore, bortnikoff, Sherwood.

[@svengolly7150]

Don't kid yourself. It's an addiction. To purchase more than you will ever need,and continue to buy is an addiction like any other.

[@svengolly7150]

P.S. I have many hundreds of bottles ,so I'm speaking from my addiction . Not throwing shade at anyone.

[@mattl7424]

@@svengolly7150 never said it wasn’t. That’s why you sell

[@thespritzwithpopfritz68]

Justin your opening was a topic yesterday in a FB Fragrance forum . People in comments brought up that you just have to watch more and see that most many reviewers are foremost fellow fragrance enthusiast and that as they grow their channel they struggle with the impact of their content on younger or newer people getting interested in fragrances . You were mentioned ( along with others ) as one that is very open about your collection and your opinions

[@truth884]

On the topic of Fugeres, my first was Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme back in the mid or late 90’s. That was my first favorite scent, and Curve(I was a teen then)

[@TheBennScented]

Thanks! I absolutely love your content and totally agree on Straight to Heaven! It was my first Killian about 10 years ago.

[@jasooma6869]

amazing video as always bro, appreciate the honesty!

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you!

[@bigboDaGreat]

When you described straight to heaven weirdness if oversprayed, I hollered Justin 😂😂. I remembered I was wearing (oversprayed) montblanc emblem and went to McD. I was waiting in line to be served, and all of sudden, the cashier said, What is that weird smell! Then it finally registered to me. It was Me 😅. Then I understood between me and that mystery meat they are cooking back there it is a weird scent floating in this store. The lesson I learned that day just go through the drive thru purfumes just don't mix well with the food being cooked in there

[@stayfreshproductions]

Lol yes, perfumes and fast food don’t mix…and especially when oversprayed! 😆

[@valzalel5203]

Amouroud's silver birch is a must try for a unisex floral. Wearing it right now

[@LE_NOMAD90]

Just snagged a Tester of Mefisto for a great price. I have 40 Knots and Naxos. Xerjoff is becoming one of my favorite niche houses.

[@boredaliensclub4416]

Which one you like the most from three of them?

[@edgardozara97]

I love Desirtoxic and Lunar Vetiver. Both of which are recommendations from you. These just have additional character with cannabis and pimento notes respectively which sets them apart from Layton and Grey Vetiver to which they are compared to. Nice list JC

[@drev2388]

Ormonde Man is and forever will be for the classic man. Such an awesome fragrance.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I like it too 😎

[@johnmorgan5984]

Appreciate the honesty and transparency in regards to the "collector" brands "sponsorship ". This is why I watch you....Honesty. 🤙

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you John 🙏🏾

[@psiavatar430]

I agree that you had the best compliment someone could get for his perfume (when you mentioned Oud Galore)! I can't wait for DesirToxic L' Intense review and comparison with the original. I had a sample from each one but I will comment about it in the aforementioned future video of yours. I would also like to know which one would you recommend: Mefisto or Torino 21 for summer-high heat (projection and general performance).I live in Greece to emphasize the level of heat. Thank you and keep up the good work!

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you. I still need to try Torino 21.

[@mintruth]

I recently got a decant of that Ormande Jayne. I've almost ran through it already. Really good stuff!!!

[@amunra_]

Signature Royale I overlooked too. Then it grew on me. It's quickly become a go to day scent. After wearing, I began to understand the scent. Nice sandalwood, amber cashmere smell. Very bright vibe

[@mounirziani6943]

i respect how you are honest

[@gasergeant]

MDCI Invasion Barbare for me is a great and very accessible fougere.

[@robinhood6781]

I love vanilla, and i got a sample of Vertus Vanilla Oud after seeing your recommendations, and my oh my, i expected it to be vanilla forward cologne but that sandalwood and sweet oud combo makes me smile every time i get a whiff of it. I was looking for a nice, comforting sandalwood cologne from some time and found this by accident. Waiting to buy a full bottle whenever it's back in stock.Thank you very much.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Nice!

[@unclesamg4537]

I think it’s great that you present your content in a way that feeds the algorithm, as well as being true to your self and transparent with the community.. Underrated qualities man. Good video

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@dw908]

Sartorial is amazing. Am I crazy to think it has some similarities to Naxos? Definitely different, but that honey-lavender duo just seems to stick out, it does carry a Brut note. Love this modern fougere.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Definitely a small similarity

[@MitsuSC]

There is a very small similarity yes but Sartorial is infinitely classier. Naxos is a great fragrance but it’s a bit overdone at this point.

[@michaelbullock8011]

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

[@jamessims5240]

I’m about to blind buy all of them and blame you when I don’t like it 😂😂😂😂😂. Just kidding bro. Thank you for your work

[@johnwright689]

GOD bless you bro keep on doing what your doing 🙏. And please let me know when your gonna clean out some of your products i will gladly except 1 or 3 bottles if you dont mind. Have a blessed week ahead bro 💯

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@SWTmel]

Amazing selections and I'm finding that I share your tastes, as I have many of these and share your sentiments. It's even making me consider your Sample Box Set from Decantx, which I love! Great video.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thanks for watching!

[@jonathanjohnson1718]

Wulong cha x sounds absolutely amazing definitely getting a sample asap!!!

[@floppyface5249]

I blind bought and got my bottle of mefisto today and let me tell you I could not be happier, I have a sample of gentiluomo but I’m not as big of a fan of that one, to me it has some kind of almost chlorine ish type of vibe in the middle which I cannot get over but the original does not have that same note

[@leonardocisneros3626]

Thanks for the suggestions

[@moshegalmaimon8290]

Fougere are my favorite!

[@maansardast8286]

Hi Justin, Sartorial is nice, but I would pick Fougere D' Argent over it any time. Desir Toxic is interesting. Wolung Cha X sounds interesting, same vibe as Fico di Amalfi? Lunar Vetiver is lovely. Straight to Heaven is the best Kilian to date and I think I smelled most of them. Casamorati is nice but I'd go for something like Opus 1870 or Fico di Amalfi instead. Haven't come across Chris Collins, Zaharof, Adamo or Ormond yet.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Wulong is quite different from Fico!

[@jvmesrayo]

Funny enough i was going through your channel last night, looking at past similar videos, and really wishing there was a newer one here a bit more up to date. and now here we are. Mr Copeland with that perfect timing lol 😭

[@AirMal23]

Brandon > what are some of your favorite Green type fragrances for spring summer ? Would be nice to see

[@bmoneybby]

Who is Brandon

[@danielcanade7773]

Very well stated. Appreciate the honest comments in your opening

[@stayfreshproductions]

Always!

[@davidstojanov8055]

On point and straightforward!

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I tend to love the slightly strange fragrances. My favourite Fougere is Fougere Bengal. Ormonde Man is a favourite of mine but I purchased it when it first came out. Thanks for the unique recommendations.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you Catherine! I need to try Fougère Bengal.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

@@stayfreshproductions I’m not sure you’ll love it. It is one of those scents that swells. It has tea, mint, hay, oakmoss and patchouli leaves and a cumin note that burrows into your heart.

[@stayfreshproductions]

@@catherinelynnfraser2001 I’m intrigued!

[@tjpfz6]

Justin, you can clean up that pineapple vintage my way. :) Cheers and thanks for your honesty

[@flump0]

if you ever wanna get rid of that bottle of cedre figalia on the shelf im your guy.

[@persephonesdad5792]

I’d be grateful for a big decant of Adamo’s Numero Uno or anything 🌹 like that GZ Black Rose

[@stayfreshproductions]

I don’t have Cedre Figalia!

[@flump0]

@@stayfreshproductions oh damn lol. There’s a bottle on your shelf that looks just like it. That said you should give it a sample, I love it. Just haven’t gotten a full bottle yet.

[@ahmedsallam1179]

Lunar is great .. one of my favorites Performance is great

[@brandonl6626]

Straight to Heaven is also my jam when it comes to Kilian frags.

[@bailaoeperfumes]

Straight to Heaven use to be my top1 fragrance to night outs, top notch!

[@silverbacksillage6812]

Great job Justin

[@henrydyrdek8827]

Love Straight to heaven but it’s so expensive even at discounters.😢 Also annoyed that At the barbers got discontinued.

[@kadenwestergaard3475]

Hey Justin, every time you mention oud galore you talk about the time a friend of yours said, "that smells like you." That has always caught my attention in your videos. Are there any other fragrances that you would say smell like "you?" It's interesting because I have fragrances that I would say smell like me as a person which is an interesting concept.

[@stayfreshproductions]

That would be interesting. If I can figure out how to present the video in a way that would entice people to watch it, I’ll consider it.

[@farhanhasin9675]

Justin if you had to choose one from xerjoff Renaissance,mefisto and mefisto gentiluomo which one would you choose.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Tough. Renaissance but Mefisto Gentiluomo is not far behind

[@gmoney1961]

Nice review Justin 👍🏽

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thanks!

[@ericrobinson1789]

Like how you keep it 💯 brother. But a lot of these suggestions have been on the money I must say.

[@stayfreshproductions]

I appreciate that

[@Dev_elopMental]

Which do you prefer, Saratorial or Halfeti Cedar?

[@stayfreshproductions]

They can’t be compared; totally different scents, personalities, and functions!

[@MikeThepiper]

Had a question on Sartorial. I haven't smelled it, though I did get a sample of The Tragedy of Lord George by Penhaligon's. Would it be considered the same? Or would Sartorial be the superior fragrance? I had picked up The Blazing Mr. Sam and thoroughly enjoyed it so far

[@stayfreshproductions]

They’re not at all the same

[@MrThanksgivin]

Question Justin: Since you described Micallef Desir Toxic as Layton's older cousin, would you say Desir Toxic shares that Vick's vapor rub scent profile that Layton has?

[@stayfreshproductions]

Not at all, at least to me!

[@bmoneybby]

In my opinion Desir did not have the menthol and for that reason I like it much more than Layton. I got a couple strong compliments from a girl and a dude.

[@jackbauer8624]

Justin where can I get sample of sunshine man and beach hut man … ? Idk if you sell it from yours … thanks for all the videos

[@stayfreshproductions]

I’m not sure. I’m not currently decanting my collection. I hope they can be found out there online

[@Vasqueza805]

Any thoughts on Mefisto vs Mefisto Gentiluomo. Have you tried both and still prefer the original or have you yet to try the Gentiluomo flanker?

[@stayfreshproductions]

I literally answered this question in the video as soon as I featured Mefisto!

[@Vasqueza805]

@@stayfreshproductions lol sorry. I got excited when I saw the Mefisto mention because I just got a decant of Gentiluomo and responded as I had the video running but before you started talking Mefisto 🤦🏽‍♂️

I have one Ex Nihilo, Vetiver Moloko. Haven’t tried Matiere Premiere

[@abdul3065]

I’m guessing you’ve tried blue talisman, but if you haven’t then give it a try cause it’s one of my fav scents lol. And Matiere premiere is an amazing olfactory experience, all their fragrances are built around 1 primary raw material with a couple supporting facets, very enjoyable to try and high quality

[@edsaban572]

I have been buying since 2014. You know how many I have? 15 not counting decants. I buy and I sell because I get bored quickly.
