Great vid. Hanae Mori HiM edp is a steal. I don't know if you ever smelled YSL Tuxedo but the Mori is like that on the seriously cheap...Moustache edp too. Molinard, Guerlain and Lalique have a few that are bargain good to see them on the list too.

[@robes08]

Thank you for tuning in!

[@cryptonator1988]

@@robes08 always a pleasure to watch the man, the myth, the legend marc doing fragrance reviews. Im a truck driver now in utah currently on the road still watching your vids. I might pick up some of the newer releases from issey miyake are they any good? They have been getting hype and now and days if you dont jump on the hype within a year there discontinued and reformulated and cost like 100-200 dollars for a fragrance that isnt worth the price. In thinking of nuit parfum, noir argent, and the other dark bottle with gold writing i forgot the name from issey miyake.

[@cryptonator1988]

@@robes08 also love that on this video you have mentioned the ones that have been reformulated. Since your absence i have been telling other reviewers to let there viewers know that some of these fragrances have been reformulated to let us know because we watch yahll because we trust you for good reason but its important to not jump on something years later after being reformulated. For example i was just watching someones top 10 list and ferragamo f black and Bentley man intense made there list and people were complaining the performance isnt beast mode anymore same with mancera and montale so ive heard i did get to purchase Bentley man intense before the claims of reformulation have occured thankfully that one was a great smelling long lasting unique fragrance was literally just about to repurchase that and buy f black but after reading the performance sucks i decided not to pull the trigger.

[@TonCon89]

I adore Polo Blue! The combination of cucumber and melon is utterly unique in my opinion!

[@finerthings46]

great video mark well done. Im hitting Guerlain hard this year, want to try/buy what i want from the brand before moving on else where

[@robes08]

Cannot go wrong with Guerlain.

[@HBO1984.]

Thanks for the list. I watched all the way through and paused to take notes. I acquired a travel sample of Gucci Guilty Absolute and I love it. I have to be careful how I wear it though. I think an outside setting or event would be best, indoors it could be too intense. Dirty leather is what I get. Also you're #1 Terre D Hermes is another one I sampled and I fell absolutely in love with that too. I sampled the Parfum so I will get a big bottle of that. How they assigned a scent to "flint" is beyond me. Superb fragrance.

[@THE_Newt]

The amount of work you put in your videos is unlike any other fragrance reviewer. I've have been your fan since I got into the fragrance game in 2013. You have a sophisticated nose and I like that. Thanks again for this list and hope to see more lists like these (50-100$ for example).😄😄

[@robes08]

Appreciate a legend like yourself coming by and supporting.

[@persistentconsistency]

Another stellar video. So cool to fast-forward from your 2011 top-100 designer list and see so many of those fragrances included in this top-50 under $50 list. The overlap helps me think about value in combination with quality and scent. You also made me think a little more cautiously about Armani as a brand, as they surely do market themselves as being on-par with Chanel, Dior, etc. I like the new Code Parfum and would love for you to try it and give us your thoughts and a rating, but I also recognize the cost as being super high for a strong, modern vanilla/iris combo. I've got many fragrances to sample before pulling the trigger on full bottles, and I am sure I'll find a better-value vanilla or date-night scent that can fill the role that Code Parfum would in my lineup. It's so humid here right now that sampling it on-skin will likely not go well, but we'll see what I think once the weather cools down later this year. Thanks again!

[@robes08]

Love how you're discovering so much going through the crates of my old videos!

[@persistentconsistency]

@@robes08 I really am haha! It's been super fun. Even if I end up disliking many of your top scents or choosing scents you're less fond of, it is great to be exposed to so many different scents than when watching fragrance influencers. I'd never have heard of many of these scents elsewhere, and certainly wouldn't get 15-20-minute reviews on them. Your channel has been a godsend, My only dilemma has been coming across your very positive reviews of fragrances that have been discontinued. I can find samples, but no full bottles, and then find myself wanting to smell the fragrance anyway, just because lol. I also wish you had date night scent videos. I feel like that's the only category I'm struggling to figure out, but I know I'll get there. I'm married, so it's all about my wife in that department.

[@jamarr911]

Great List Marc, Im definitely going to check out the Hanae Mori HiM, Bvlgari Black, Guerlain Homme, and the Herba Fresca for sure

[@robes08]

all solid!

[@jdmb03]

Good video. Thanks for taking the time.

[@stijndeblauwe7607]

Is any Lalique that is not on this list any good? Or is only Encre Noire collection from them worth it?

[@almightyroachkillaz]

Lalique Pour Homme (lion version) is an affordable yet very Decent aromatic fougere. Old school vibe.

[@paulo-magum3621]

Mugler cologne? Baldessarini ultimate? Azzaro pour homme? Roma laura biaggioti? Loewe solo and 7 lalique homme ..but ok, great list

[@anindya2046]

Great idea for a video, and for kicking off 2020! I remember watching your videos more than ten years ago, I was still new to perfumes, and your review led me to buy Fahrenheit. That, and buying Kouros and Rive Gauche pour Homme completely changed everything. My first niche perfume was Chergui, which was a blind-buy about eight years ago, and that was largely based on it being on the top of your winter top 10 (20?) list, and some enthusiastic reviews on Basenotes. I haven't forgotten those days, and I can't help but feel a bit nostalgic. Great to see you going strong, and that you log in your SOTD on Basenotes (I'm more active there).

[@stephenbennett3985]

Awesome Video Marc!! Glad to see these kind of reviews from you again! Anxiously awaiting the review from Hanae Mori Him! Thanks

Keep up the good work. Like your review a lot. It is unlikely you can buy Hermes below 50 $. It is 57 € now on Notino. Mine was 80€ (100 $ at the time) Beautiful strong oranges. But after a hour or so, they (the oranges) starts to smell overripe. After 2 hours getting dangerously close to rotten. I hate overripe oranges and lemons. The first one from the Terres d Hermes line I bought, was Eau trais Fraiche, which is lighter and lesser ripe. But the effect is more or less the same to me. 125 ML for almost 90 Euro's. At that time ca 120 $. A year later I got myself convinced I should have bought the original. It is not possible that the entire fragrance communities could be wrong. So I ditched another 80 €. It is worse for me than the Eau Trais Fraiche. I have been using them for all but on me. Wardrobe mostly but even in my shoes. My feet don't stink, but sometimes the inner shoe soles do. Also tried one on my dog when he misbehaves buy again, it is too strong. If you can bear this scent, like most people do, than it is a great fragrance. Long lasting. Heavy sillage. Now I found last year an alternative for Terres D Hermes in which the oranges are really fresh and that is Narciso Rodriguez For Him Bleu Noir Eau De Toilette Extreme. The same vibe but no over ripe oranges, just very fresh.
