XERJOFF DECAS - MY ITALIAN LOVE AFFAIR

[@2204as]

Your "reviews" are a piece of art. Thanks for doing them. You really do justice to these perfumes.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Really appreciate the encouragement @2204as🙏🏽 thank you for reaching out and for your support💫

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Great to hear from you, Patrick… What an awesome comment to read very much appreciated the words of encouragement💫🙏🏽 thank you!

[@lucky4lucky419]

I have not yet found any fragrance reviewer that give such a clear “picture” of fragrances as you sir. You don’t find many fragrance tellers that makes you wanna listen to every word through out. 🙌🏻

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Thank you🙏🏽 really appreciate the words of encouragement and so happy that this episode resonated with you. As you can tell, I like the process of 'story telling' and how the fragrance weaves into this. Thanks for reaching out👊🏽

[@Jeandeluz]

I LOVE Decas! It's my work scent. And it's in my top 10 all time favorites

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Great to hear from you John; awesome to hear that Decas is such a winning fragrance for you💫👊🏽

[@biggboi1967]

I’m a huge fan of Xerjoff and I’ve tried many of them, but I can’t say that I like them all. IMO Renaissance, Naxos and Nio are the best. Thanks for the review, Marcelo! 👊🏽

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

The beauty of Xerjoff is that they have such a huge library that there is something for everyone. And yes, the three that you mentioned are awesome! Great to hear from you Juan👊🏽

[@blackhorse4138]

Hi Marcelo, I hope you are doing well, I miss these kind of videos.. Thanks for all the explanations you give us.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Great to hear from you @BLACK Horse. Yes, it was fun creating this episode and I do love researching a bit deeper and sharing this with everyone (makes me happy that you and others enjoy this approach too). Very much appreciate the encouragement and support…thank you👊🏽

[@jonparker1712]

Talk about a compelling reason to explore this fragrance beyond the scent profile! Well done.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Thank you Jon🙏🏻 happy that you enjoyed this episode…awesome to hear from you

[@fabiocapello5506]

Thanx for the history notes about my country that you add to the review. History, heritage, knowledge and passion these are the secret ingredients of many italian fragrances, some people get it some others not. Grazie Marcelo, un forte abbraccio.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

I totally agree with your summary Fabio "History, heritage, knowledge and passion" this is the 'secret ingredient' that makes Italian perfumes so unique, so diverse and divine! There's so much to choose from, which is what I love too Thank you Fabio for reaching out; wonderful to hear from you

[@porousdumasia3256]

A great review delivered with finesse.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Very kind♥️🙏🏻 Thank you Porous

[@cagrkizilkayaa]

Decas is coming from beyond time , I love this piece

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

What a beautiful way to describe this fragrance....I agree with you @cagrkizilkayaa. Thank you for reaching out💫

[@BigNewPrinz]

I’m becoming very quickly obsessed with this House, and consequently light in the wallet. I tried this in store today whilst picking up an online order (Uden Overdose and Tony Iommi!). 90 minutes later on a lovely hot (UK) day, it smells fantastic. I don’t find it too feminine, and would say it’s unisex and perfectly fine for a fella to wear. Thanks for this review, the other 1861 trio review you mentioned will probably be responsible for me blind buying Zefiro! I can feel an impending purchase with Decas! All the best

[@megasoid]

Thank you Marcelo...back in familiar surroundings I see! After all your recent adventures, I feel as if I jumped off a moving train! Thanks for the review as I have yet to smell this fragrance. Xerjoff is a wonderful, classy brand. As always, thank you for the detailed background on why Italian citrus is a preferred ingredient and a little regional of history to boot. My scent of the day will be 40 Knots as soon as I head out the door into the vast summer terrarium here in Virginia. All the best!

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

As crazy as this sounds, it was wonderful to be behind the desk and say that opening🧡 It felt like being with an old friend again. And yes, Xerjoff is an extraordinary brand that has multiple winners in their library; always an absolutle pleasure to share my love for these fragrance's. I really love the XJ1861 collection; exceptional perfumes right there. And what a winner is 40 Knots! Congrats on this fragrance homie😎 As always, great to hear from you Fred👊🏽

[@christosnicolaides7707]

Thank you for the knowledge fascinating to learn this stuff and for it to be related to fragrance is something special

Hola Marcelo trabajo acá en Panamá, soy de Costa Rica. Por casualidad llegué a tu canal y déjame decirte que estoy agradablemente impresionado con el contenido. Sin duda se nota el interés y la emoción por la fragancia. Adelante

¡Bienvenido amigo! Tan feliz de saber que encontraste el canal... ¡brillante! Gracias por el apoyo y las amables palabras, muy apreciado. Gracia Eric👊🏽

[@perfeptions]

Citruses are from Southern Italy only: exception made for lemons all top citruses are from Calabria (especially those used in perfumery), then we have sweet lemons from Amalfitan Coast and great sour lemons and red oranges from Sicily. The rest of Italy does not offer them.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Absolutely @Perfeptions: Perfume Perceptions the South of Italy does it best!

[@JonMadd]

I first sampled Decas when Iommi arrived, before I picked up a bottle of Naxos. I remember standing in my room in the morning, pausing for a moment & caught myself going "wow" to myself. Since wearing Naxos & others, my second testing of Decas didn't give me the same wow opening, but the dry down that lingered kept coming back to seduce me. Your storytelling is the best in the business! Maybe only the Fragrance Apprentice can compare. I'm sold.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Thank you Jon for the very kind words, I do appreciate that this type of fragrance review resonates with you and many others…. they’re fun to create. And yes Decas is pretty impressive. The opening is super sexy, but as you mentioned the magic definitely evolves in the dry down♥️ Thanks for reaching out Jon, always good to hear from you

[@wiktorrosinski8080]

I watched your series and I remember your saying that Zefiro, even though it uses incense, was not a homage to Rome and the churches. I think your analogy was very apt and with this piece being a statement to that and filling that spot.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Yes, at the time, being that there were only 3 in the collection; I made the assumption that Zefiro was that 'sacred nod' to Italy being that Rome was it's heart.....but I was wrong😂 Zefiro is about Rome, but it can still be a sacred nod to this amazing 3,000 year old city, especially now that we have Decas in the collection. This can comfortably be a tribute to Italy as a whole....(well at least until the next fragrance in the collection comes out😣) So good to hear from you @Wiktor Rosinski👊🏽💫 appreciate the support my friend

[@leeallen463]

I've had a couple of samples of Decas. Personally I'm undecided on whether to get it. I like it and its versiltile, so it would be better value for money than other fragrances I have that only work in one season but its not a love for me. I did wear it to work and I did get a good compliment from a customer who said she'd been following the smell around and trying to figure out where it was coming from (I do overspray). She asked what it was and I showed her on my phone but she was shocked by the price, so I don't think she'll be getting it for her partner.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

I strongly believe you are getting exceptional value for money. The fragrance’s are complex, long lasting, and in my opinion a work of art. But yes, like all the Xerjoff’s there is a price tag associated to this (or anything of quality). Always great to hear from you Lee, thanks for jumping into the conversation👊🏽

[@Memmaao]

So far, I have Zefiro and Naxos from this line.. I have to say, Zefiro is my favorite. I will buy reinessance for the summer. Should I pull the trigger with this one? (I have Uden Overdose too, I have to say, Xerjoff is my favorite niche house).

[@ch_the_3rd72]

I love your reviews. My wife, my son and I travelled to Italy for the first time last year. Amazing didn’t even describe this trip for us. I fell in love with Xerjoff as an Italian brand. I have been building my collection ever since. Naxos of course was first. Tony Iommi and La Capitale are current my favourites. I have just ordered both Decas and Renaissance being it’s spring going into summer here in Canada. Again, I love your insight as always (I can’t wait for the new Tony Iommi Deified)

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Greatly appreciate the support 💫💪🏽 thank you for the words of encouragement🙏🏽 And yes, how incredible is Italy…food, culture, history, people…I can go on and on!🥰 Congrats on the new Xerjoff loves; you’re going to love Decas😍 Thanks again for reaching out; awesome to connect

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Absolutely, Keep up the great work 👍🏻

[@alinavid1581]

Hi Marcelo, fantastic review! I think Chanel no 22 is all about tuberose too but I think I should try Decas too. Thank you.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Thank you Ali🙏🏻 I need to check out No22…as mentioned I have to be careful with anything Tuberose as it leans very heavy feminine to my nose, so would be interested to see how No22 plays on me. I feel that Decas walks that line really well for a man I would be interested to know your thoughts on the 2 once you’ve tested Decas. Great to hear from you 👊🏽

[@megasoid]

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector I'm with you when it comes to feminine leaning fragrances which are also marketed for men. However you gave this one your stamp of approval so that works for me right out of the gate bro.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Thanks for the vote of confidence Fred. I would still encourage that you test first. Nothing like the scent talking to you directly to know if it will resonate. Good luck mate👊🏽

[@michaelmarzano2759]

Extraordinary, as usual.Nothing but the BEST from Marcelo

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Thank you Michael🙏🏼 appreciate the encouragement and support👊🏽

[@TheRealMu-man]

Just received this in the mail today, WOW!!! I was a little hesitant to pull the trigger due to its lack of popularity but I’m so glad I did. This was my 8th Xerjoff purchase and I love all my babies the same. This might be my signature scent for the summer. Loving this one! Thanks for the background, on this one it helped me appreciate more then just the fantastic juice!

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Congrats on the ‘new baby’💫 It’s funny how some people are not liking this fragrance (don’t know why??) As you’ve discovered this is amazing as a summer fragrance and happy to also advise that it’s perfect for Fall/winter too (it’s amazing how easy this fragrance plays in so many circumstances). Not sure if you saw this episode? This is a ‘blind smelling’ experience in which I had Decas as part of the line up (along with 2 other Xerjoff’s)…it’s interesting what happened 😬 kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6XLgaZ9o9ZksJI Awesome to hear from you @TheMuman

[@SM-fc3mh]

Very nice review. You made me want to try it.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Wonderful to hear from you @S M and yes, I would recommend to test this one out and see how it works for you. Thanks for reaching out👊🏽

Love Naxos 💗💗💗

Amen to that❤️ Naxos is magic

Well a great review with historical facts explaining the story behind the scent Wow,so when we wear this fragrance we became a part of that history,and that what happened yesterday when I wore my Naxos for the first time,thanks for your influence.

Awesome review brother Marcelo.I love this one but unfortunately it turns too feminine on my skin,but it’s beautiful.wonderful video

Yes I do understand this Bardissan. The tuberose note is a distinct part of this fragrance and as mentioned it does have a very soft floral component to the perfume. Awesome to hear from you my friend, hoping you are well

Just Got my bottle of decas today, love it. Got Naxos, renaissance and now Decas. Have been following your channel for a while a love the content. Not quite sure about Zefiro, a little bit afraid of the incense…. Anyway, keep up the good work

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Awesome to hear from you Jesper and congrats on including Decas into your collection...I love that you're slowly closing the 1861 collection down😎 Yes, Zefiro is a very distinct incense fragrance, but blended so beautifully with a honey note that it gives it a beautiful sweet, smokey and spicy sillage. Up close for you, might be strong but the sillage is incredible. I would recommend that you test this out. Put it on skin and see how it performs for you and also ask those around you if they can smell your fragrance, you'll be impressed at the comments....this is a beautiful fragrance (but don't blind buy). Will be curious to know how you go. Thank you @jesperhansen4751 for reaching out💫 very appreciative of your support👊🏽

[@jesperhansen4751]

Quit new to your Channel. Moved from Designer to Niche and discovered you 😁 my first xerjoff was Erba pura, then Naxos and yesterday got Renaissance. Thinking of getting Decas next or 40knots

[@SouthernArawak]

Do you prefer Erba Pura over Renaissance?

[@jesperhansen4751]

@@SouthernArawak yes... Erba pura is really nice, but there is just something speciel about Renaissance. The bright and clean citrus, the mint and the floral ... all thight together with some musk and some smooth wood in the base. Its so uplifting.

[@Sele81]

I tried couple Xerjoffs today and got flashed from all of em. Decas is one I go back to the test stripe and keep smelling. It smells like a luxurious spearmint gum to me. And I like that a lot.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

I was wearing Decas today…oh man, I love this fragrance ♥️💫 Great to hear from you @KSRB

[@BarberNoseBest]

Based off the description I can see why you said this isnt for everyone. However I plan to get it for 3 reasons. 1 - I love the back story to the entire 1861 line. 2- to complete the collection. In all honesty the only reason I got Zefiro was to complete the collection. The reviews I did see didn't reflect what I got from the fragrance. If I went SOLELY off reviews I would have never got Zefiro. And that one ended up being my favorite out of the collection. So that taught me a lot. 3-the main reason is to once again complete the collection. Hopefully I will have a similar experience with Decas, where it goes against the common reviews and wows me. We will see.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

I totally agree with all your comments here Shawn...as a collector I totally get it. I also agree that 'reviews' are just sounding boards. That's why I never dis any fragrance. Just because I don't like it, doesn't mean that it's no good. I did the same thing with Zefiro. I read a lot of negativity on this fragrance but I got it because I too wanted to complete the set and like you, ended up loving this one! Once you get the chance to test Decas, I'd be curious to know your thoughts. I love it. It's awesome in summer, but still works well in winter. Keen to hear your thoughts Great to hear from you Shawn

[@BarberNoseBest]

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector definitely will let you know.

[@adventurer627]

Just curious how this compares to La Capital in terms of floralness, strength/projection/spillage and dry down. I currently own Naxos, Renaissance, Torino21 and Uden Overdose. I was trying to decide which to get next after i get Tony Iommi. I was thinking either Zefiro (I love incense and also spicy as I’m a big fan of Montal Intense Pepper) or La Capital. But am now unsure if I should get Decas instead or get both. I know this an old video and you have lots of fans that keep you busy but if you or one of your followers could comment that would be great. In any case thanks for your content and hope you have a fabulous upcoming holiday season.

Beautiful content. Educational and nice to watch, as always. Kudos to you Marcelo. Also YOU NEED TO COVER GOLDEN DALLAH brother. It’s my 3rd favorite after Naxos and Alexandria II.

I am between decas and dolce amalfi? Little bit afraid of the tuberose note in decas.

[@me.6245]

Great video boss! Would you say decas is overly Floral? Im thinking of buying blind. The notes look really good but it looks abit floraly?

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Great to hear from you and hoping that you're travels through Italy have been awesome!! Guessing you're back now..? Short answer is 'Yes' it does have a tuberose note in that opening; which can be a very heavy floral note for some men. Having said that, it does dry back in about 30 minutes and moves more towards incense, iris earthy notes. Naturally, I would recommend that you test first and see how this all works for you....but good luck with the final decision on this!!! Good to hear from you homie 👊🏽

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Minus the tuberose inspired spontaneous orgasms. Of course, YMMV.

[@Jamesjrbespoke]

I have Naxos and love it. Of the other 3, Zefiro, Renaissance and Decas would you recommend as a safe blind buy? I have 10 or more Xerjoff’s so I love their fragrances. Just trying to decide in which order or if I should get one more from this collection. Thanks

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Yes Naxos is a masterpiece💫 I’m not a big fan of blind buying as fragrances play differently on different individuals, I always recommend to test on skin first. But to answer your question Renaissanceis a very bright citrus green fresh fragrance Zefiro is a soft incense with a honey note running through it Decas is an extremely divine tuberose citrus tinged fragrance that even a man can wear Good luck James once you make a decision will be curious to know what your thoughts are on the fragrance that you choose💫😎

[@sebastianj.522]

I love Decas so much, but the frangrance has a sharp / biting note at the end (base note), has anyone a clue what this note could be? Musk? Thanks in advance!

[@sopito7883]

Nice review on this brother I tried this one and I don't really like it I'm fan of Xerjoff but not to this one keep it up

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Yes, I understand your feelings on this. That Tuberose note is very pronounced and makes a very definite statement; it can be too much. I find that if you can make it through the opening, the drydown is brilliant as the other notes begin to come forward. Awesome to hear from you Salvador👊🏽

[@jsanford01]

This is the best fragrance channel in all of KZbin. You should do your own fragrance release by the end of 2024. Just do a small batch of 100 bottles to test the market here with your followers. Do a large poll on 50 oils that people really like and build on that

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

This comment brought a massive smile to my face🙏 Firstly, a massive THANK YOU for such encouragement and vote of confidence to the work that I'm doing on the channel. Secondly I really love your idea...I have thought of this but not sure if I dare 🧐 However I do love the thought of putting it out there with the idea of oils and getting the community to add their thoughts to the process.....going to get this ball rolling today! Thanks again @jsanford01 for reaching out and the burst of energy that you've provided⚡️👊🏽

[@eternalbattle1438]

Whenever I think of tuberose I think of how a grandma would smell. But, I'll consider buying or better sampling Decas!

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

I have to say that whichever grandma is out there smelling of tuberose, then she's a fox! (think of the scene in Wayne's World with Garth singing 'Foxy Lady'😂) In my opinion Tuberose is ultra sensuous (like next level) that it works so well in a woman's fragrance; hence why I was curious to know if could work on a me? Once you've had the chance to test, I'd be curious to know your thoughts. Thanks again for reaching out @Eternal Battle14
