I have to say this is a great thumbnail pic of you, you look really happy.

[@Tina-wi7we]

I love it when you line up your bottles and keep them in view for us. It's helpful! Thanks for the video.

[@reasonableselectivefragran5047]

I second that. It'a a useful reference for general perfume buyer like us.

[@luiscastro5990]

No Creeds on a niche Summer list? Thats why I love this channel. Always renewing!

[@stantino129]

First... The Summer list I've been waiting for

[@anthonyhill4639]

Yo, that background is insane!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Thank you! :)

[@UnknownChap]

The summer list we all deserve 👑 I'm lucky enough to own a handful of these and have a few others that I want to try eventually 🔥

[@jameswalker3800]

Robert Quinlan rob what would be your go to couple of frags n the summer.far as compliments bro Thanks in advance

[@UnknownChap]

@@jameswalker3800 Some of them would be Sospiro erba pura or tizianan tirenzi kirke , Jul et mad aqua sextius & néa, Montale tropical woods / aoud lagoon / manga manga & day dreams. To name a few 😂 they all happen to be very very strong off me too. So that helps

[@jameswalker3800]

Robert Quinlan thanks bro I really appreciate it. I love strong fragrances I hate to keep applying!! Jus what I’m looking for something strong and major compliment monsters

[@Tomatohater64]

Thank you for yet another top notch video. My Summer list for this year includes: Elie Saab's Essence # 6, Heeley's Menthe Fraiche, and The Soft Lawn from Imaginary Authors. Love herbals and aquatics, not big on florals or citruses - except lemon; I love lemon.

[@robertoboertje353]

Just discovered Opus 3 Amouage, what an awesome flowery freshy! Fits for summer perfectly for me.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Here's my Floral Fragrances playlist in case you want to discover some new ones: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2XTXmakpqmXbMU I will check out Opus 3 by Amouage. I love the brand! :)

[@brian95240]

I like Opus IV. It's not as dated as Opus I imo. I'm actually about to try more from the Opus line. On his chanel, Notes Punch reviewed the entire Library Opus collection. If you haven't seen them yet, you may want to see the reviews there (for that line). Currently, I'm awaiting Xerjoff samples of Nio and Mefisto. I had also bought a split of Tom Ford- Costa Azzura and Neroli Portofino Aqua. Maison Martin Margiela- Under the Lemon Tree is in my rotation, as well! After seeing this review, I have newer goals LOL. Citrus is a love, for me and I'm trying to find a new take on that. Bitter citrus really piqued my interest! Thank you Sebastian!

[@hasib1625]

Great list Sebastian. Haven’t smelled any from this list. Thanks for sharing ✌🏻

[@jeremyhinze8837]

Man I love that "you or someone like you" it performs like a monster on me for fresh scent.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Me too! I love it. The mint is so authentic! :)

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great list and I enjoyed it and I'm gonna try these fragrances and have a blessed day

[@danieldufort2628]

I just tried Fig Man from Carner Barcelona, I fell in love and I think this will be my go to fragrance for the summer.

[@citiscentsoftheworld1412]

Omg!! Your background was a piece of heaven for me! ❤️ Would love to have a piece of that 😃

[@whysoserious1978]

Always looking forward to your videos.

[@prkgmr]

Awesome list video yet again, Sebastian...can you also do a designer summer list so that folks like me can be benefitted too? ;) You are one of the few no-nonsense, cut-the-crap, honest reviewers out there imho!❤😍🙏👏

[@MadAzn53]

Great list Sebastian. Love Bergamote 22, Impudent and Sundrunk. Need to try your top 3 especially the Nishane.

[@d.s.6221]

Another amazing job. Great summer picks. As much as i luv and prefer niche, i find, more times than not, niche can over or under do summer scents whereas designer tends to knock it out of the park. My best fragrance right now for summer is: John Varvatos Artisan Pure. Very cheap in price but an unbelievable scent. Set Sail St. Barts by Tommy Bahama is another one. I did a side by side comparison with Creeds Virgin Island Water and found very little in terms of distinction between the two scents. The dry down was absolutely the same. So I think designers have summer on lockdown lol

[@brian95240]

Set Sail St Barts is a vacation in a bottle. I'm going to do an experiment, soon, by decanting 10ml and mixing it with a couple fixatives. Supposedly, it could prolong the top notes and the base notes. I hope it's a success. Imagine being able to enjoy that opening; for an even longer period of time!

[@sorryremix]

What an eclectic list ! I definitely took some notes . Thanks Sebastiana !

[@vittorio870]

Hi sebastian,great informative review as always. When is the your latest designer for summer frags coming up for the other side of niche?

[@ronpower7790]

I wonder that Cedrat Boise gets so much love...I found it rather synthetic and cloying. Definitely not fresh or summery in my book.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Synthetic is not bad! ;)

[@snaird4967]

Really interesting list. I’ve been addicted to Batucada for the past several weeks. It’s not the strongest fragrance but just a perfect representation of summer for me!

[@mbecky7414]

Such a great Video 😍🏝️🌊 Love your picks.. Thank you 💕👍

[@susieq1540]

Thanks Sebastian always great picks!

[@alfredogomezjr7415]

Always look forward to your lists, thorough descriptions of each fragrance

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Thank you very much! :)

[@dorotheeteboul7518]

Hi there. Thank you for your interesting reviews. I especially like your reviews of niche florals and summer fragrances. I am wondering if you could review the Frassai fragrances. Thanks again. I love your enthusiasm.

[@inspiringgrillingcookingtr6821]

Sebastian didn't realize how huge your selection is. Haven't been on KZbin in a while great video thanks for the content you're amazing!

[@semra8733]

Great list and great video ! Have a wonderful warm season! We are still waiting for spring to arrive here.😊

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

OH WOW. It's been fairly cool here too. ;)

[@BlackHawk09999]

Perfect summer list. Love most of everything you talked about!

[@bellasusi]

Very happy you made this video. 😍

[@123GGameerz]

Are "summer fragrances" supposed to last longer due to the heat? And are there any "summer fragrances" that last long and have good projection and sillage?

[@lindac7073]

Nice list . I have Cologne Indelebile & Aqua Vitae Forte. Both really good . I'm going to try that Nishane. Haven't tried that house yet.

[@TheSparkythespark]

What a wonderful and varied list! Great stuff

[@SONICE69]

Faaaaabulous list by the way! I saw SEVERAL there like the two from Nishane that have my olfactory senses perked!♥️👃🏽💛👏🏼👋👋

[@margaretkapron6417]

Perfect video again Sebastian Thank You again

[@amnaaziz3840]

Dear Sebastian, Great list found Ambra Calabria to be most intriguing has been on my wishlist.for awhile. My favourite niche is Mancera cedrat Boise. Cheers

[@noramartin9347]

I love watching u u r soo informative..

[@usmankhadim2589]

Amazing list. Great selection of fragrances!

[@shaunm.2147]

Homage to you Sebastian! I always look up your videos b4 going out to purchase new fragrances!! You always have the best suggestions & this video is no different also on time for the Memorial Day sales lol. I just ordered bergamote 22 & working on Penhaligon's The impudent Cousin Matthew based on your recommendation. I also purchased Cedrat Boise based on a past review of yours. Thanks so much for your hard work on putting these great lists together for us!!!🌻🌼🌻🌼

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Thank you! :)

[@marymccullough377]

Thanks for your review and list.

[@theaetherealist]

Killer choices! So many new ones for me to check out.

[@juliettirina6829]

I love, love Pacific Lime by Atelier Cologne, it is very fresh, unique and beautiful scent.

[@laboucher]

maybe the bubble gum in Sale Gosse is because it means Dirty Kid? Curious to try it!

[@biggboi1967]

Sebastian, you should do a video showing your entire collection.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Soon!! :)

[@brooklyngamingbrooklynandl5352]

I just started down an obsessive path of finding a fragrance (I'm female) that doesn't give me a headache and I just stumbled onto your channel a week ago and have really been enjoying your skin scent and summer pics videos. I'm looking to clarify if your selections for these two categories are for the most part, unisex fragrances or more masculine leaning. I haven't noticed in your videos where you clarify one way or the other, so I'm assuming majority are unisex? I just bought Molecule 01 today and am obsessed!! I'm looking for more like that and your videos are helping tremendously to put together a samples wish list Thanks for the info!--Gina

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Most fragrance is unisex. I wear both. Niche videos would mostly be unisex and designer videos on my channel would be mostly masculine targeted fragrances. But occasionally I'll through in designers in niche videos and unisex in designer videos! :) If you like skin scents try some clean musks! Those should be great. I especially love White Musk for Men by The Body Shop. Even though it's for men it's totally unisex and retails for around $20/$25 for 100ml. It's a cheapie that smells great. I think I need to review it soon

[@K414nn4]

Sebastian, I was waiting for your Summer fragrances picks so bad! :D The way you describe the scents is just delightful

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Thank you. I might do two more of these lists. One designer for sure and a surprise one as well! :)

[@K414nn4]

@@ThePerfumeGuy Omg!! I'll make sure to get my popcorn ready! Love it!

[@ritankarsasmal380]

Great list as always. I am going to Europe this year and plan to visit Dinan in brittany region in France so happy to hear u been to brittany. have u been to Dinan? It's damn beautiful. Also i dont remember if u have done a whole line vid on Profumum roma but if not pls do one.

[@tovlirami1711]

Amazing list. Thank you.

[@DESC-tv5fd]

Great list bro!you could speak about the sillage of this.My favourite summer is intense tiare from montale

[@julieake3875]

I am curious about this fragrance is it good or is it great.

[@DESC-tv5fd]

Julie Ake for me great

[@nisaks1]

Great variety!

[@chodoris]

I hv sampled FM colonge bigarade. I only last a few hrs on me. The cumin note is strong

[@ChickenSoupMusic]

No Aventus / MI / Erolfa :) ... Good makes it more interesting. Fun list

[@nKaizer]

You Sir are the best reviewer! This list is so good and it makes you stand out from all the rest. PS. It's pronounced /vite/ because ae in Latin it's genitive form or vita which means life. (Aqua Vitae)

[@abdulusa]

Great selection!!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Thank you! :)

[@dariuspope1726]

Blind bought Cedro Di Diamante and it was one of the best choices I’ve ever made I’m head over heels for it. Getting Mandarino next

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

They have a new one Arancia!! :)

[@DESC-tv5fd]

Amazing selection bro,amazing explication

[@deankraft2627]

Enjoyed your list! Thoughts on MFK Petit Matin?

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I love it. It's perfect for the hottest days!! :)

[@tooka81]

Great choices!

Great list..i like it ...thank u🌹💯

[@elgordopamisamigos1254]

Great job as usual!!!! But which ones actually last?

[@tattooedbill1]

Great frag choices. What type of floral scents do you think a man can get away with and what advice would you give about how to avoid picking a too feminine scent? Cheers

[@jjimenez8430]

Collection is amazing. Kinda *LOVE/HATE* you. *LOVE* for always turning me on to new brands/houses but *HATE* for making me spend money *LOL* 🤣😂👍

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

LOL! ;)

[@MissTeeFied]

Love the scent of Lemon Blossom. Is their a summer fragrance that emulates that fresh scent rather than the fruity citrus?

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Tauer Perfumes L'Eau uses tons of lemon blossom but it's not all about lemon blossom. You know I don't know this but I normally would be all over it if I found it. Most of the time it's all about neroli and orange blossom! :)

[@cxsand]

Great picks.

[@sepiaseraph22]

Very Nice list, Sabastian... Nishane's new Cologne would make an interesting and timely addition also. Great Stuff ***

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

The new Cologonise Saffron or the original?

[@sepiaseraph22]

I picked up the colognise Extrait. I think this will be a summertime success among citrus lovers. I'd been waiting the the weather to warm up to wear this. Think this will be fun to wear.

[@dkalbryte5715]

I must confess Sebastian that I never purchased any of my "to sample" fall fragrances. Sad but true. I just became overwhelmed. The problem was(is) that I've subscribed to many frag channels plus there are a plethora of ever growing brands that sound amazing. I used to order like bi monthly but decided to budget myself. In fact, last night I spent hours on Luckyscent starting at A and didn't get far with 2 pages of a big tablet already. I did list Atelier des Ors- Crepuscule. I've got Dusita, Bortnikoff, Ensar Oud omg😢 I always read customer reviews w/ratings. How is Zoologist? I don't like too aquatic i.e. like Acqua di Gio- 😷 I don't mind wearing heavy scents/animalics for hot weather. Profumum Roma has a high concentration like St. Clair scents Cadablanca is higher percentage even at 51%. Jovoy is another brand I desperately want to sample. La Via del Profumo is amazing. Some MFK's I love. Laundry clean turns me off. Love those Penhaligon's bottles. Every one you mention sends me on a tangent lol. Leather Orientals now you're talkin' 👍 Le Labo Rose I love. So Nishane is a quality brand? Great video. Thanks. Just adds to my anxiety over what else I want😰 joking. When are you doing another collaboration with your cool friend? I really enjoy them. I just picked up some designer for the interim.

[@MehdiScent]

Awesome solid list 😎👏💪

[@illogic81]

Man what a great list😎💯🔥

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Thank you! :)

[@sarastockall]

Looking for orange vanilla for women without florals or harsh patchouli-musk ect.

[@tahseenmalik01]

Amazing list! I am thinking of purchasing Penhaligon's Impudent Cousin Matthew. What's your experience with longevity?

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

It's not heavy projection. It's moderate.

[@RagnarHoff]

Which one of these would you say is a safe blind buy? A safe and inoffensive scent. So far i have philosykos, Aqua Universalis and Silver Musk for the summer. Safe and clean.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Bergamote 22 is certainly a safe blind buy! :)

[@manygaga1]

hi, did you try nishane colognise? Sounds really interesting to me.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I have tried it and also have tried the new Colognize Saffron! Both are great!! :)

[@manygaga1]

@@ThePerfumeGuy I want to buy nishane colognise but I just can not get it over here, Belgium

Still deciding between: Juliette has a gun-Vanilla vibes / Francesca bianchi’s - Sex and the Sea (and the new neroli twist too) and Olfactive Studio- Still life in Rio ,but just can’t make my mind up...🤔

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Tough decisions for sure!! Eeniee, meenie, miney mo? LOL! ;)

[@Ricklpz1]

Yeah all great but need some advice...😊

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

You wrote it in the list I think you should get them in! That should make up your mind then shouldn't?

[@Ricklpz1]

Definitely! But just looking for something sexy and with great performance between them all! Smell them in stores here in Italy ,not on skin.just wanted to go for one of the three.remembered all gorgeously.which would you rank first ? Really appreciate your point of view

[@maxtesti4443]

Have you tried "Lys Mediterranee" by Frederic Malle? Any thoughts?

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I love it. :)

[@chiang828johnb828]

hermes hermessence line , whats ur fav top 3 tks S

[@david-Davidson]

Im weird, I don't find matching my frag with the season is appropriate rather I appreciate a juxtaposition, I wear dark frags in the summer and freshies in the winter - I live in Canada so we get a lot of Flordia frutis during our winter. My ideology is that, it's already hot out, you don't realllly need extra freshness, or alternatively it's cold and gloomy out - brighten it up with a freshie!

[@MRfisheri]

You wear what you want to wear but generally in winter you need stronger frag due to the performance of freshies will be hindered due to the cold weather, while wearing too strong of a frag during the summer can be cloying and too much.

[@brian95240]

@@MRfisheri I once had to go into a small room (in the heat of Summer) and a guy had over sprayed Tom Ford- Black Orchid! I could have possibly sued for a chemical attack! What an experience that was lol.

[@david-Davidson]

@@MRfisheri Good thing in the winter I'm generally indoors, I don't really care to smell like oranges on my way into work from the parking lot to the door during a snowstorm lol - do you live outside?

You'll get a lot of hate from Creed fanboys for not including VIW , Erolfa , Millesime Imperial or Silver Mountain Water in your list . Solid list as usual SOTD is Amongst Waves by Gallagher Fragrances

[@abbasalzankaloni4722]

Houses you chose from are strange and not well known.... I thought I will find Percival, aventus, Tom Ford blue bottles, aqua de Parma essenza

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Go to the channels that feature those then. And Tom Ford is not niche. He's a clothing designer.

[@brian95240]

That's the exact reason I love Sebastian's picks. So often, under-the-radar houses are discovered and new appreciations develop (as a result). It can be refreshing, to escape the cliches of Frag Com lists; from time to time.
