Your Fragrance Makes You a BOY, DUDE, GUY, or a MAN. (pt 2)

I agree, as long as he doesn’t say anything mean about my dear Xerjoff 40 knots he can shit on everything else I don’t care 🤷‍♂️ Jk, fragrances are subjective at the end of the day. And that’s okay life’s too short worry about what other people think! :p

Ok ill do it.. Xerjoff 40k is boring and xerjoff is overated 🙏🥳❤️

[@dougmiller3398]

You did good Justin. I am a 46 yo man and a big frag head too. I started my journey in the 90s with designer fragrances like Tommy Hifiger and even earlier with Ralph Lauren Chaps and Safari. I really had no idea what I was doing, but deep down I knew there was a time and place for fragrances. Also, I learned that wearing Safari or Chaps at age 15 wasn't the best idea; the girls my age said I smelled like a saddle. Anyway, this really hit home with me and how I pulled things off like Aqua di gio in my early twenties as apposed to Polo sport. I liked Polo sport, but when I discovered this new nectar from the gods I new that it would turn heads and I do think it matched my age at the time. IDK I'm sure some will disagree, but as we say, it's all subjective 😊

Thank you so much for watching, Doug. I’m never trying to tell anyone what to do, only encourage them to think. 🙏🏾

[@LeprechaunSeeker]

Great one Justin, you'll be pleased to known that in Spring I alternate between Chanel AHS Eau Extreme and Lolita Lempicka Green Lover 😂 Both make me happy and I do agree that there's more to Green Lover than meets the eye. It's unbeatable not just for its price but when placed head to head with things 4-5 times more expensive. Thanks for the video

[@stephenwilliams4701]

Not sure if it’s been said, but aside from your different, yet insightful and refreshing perspectives on fragrance. The vocals/voice is a soooooothing and easy listen. That should not go unnoticed.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you Stephen!

[@coontune]

Yeah you’re right about the Chanel. Sadly found that out the hard way. I liked it a lot when first smelling it and got tricked into the price per ml racket. Bought a 5 ounce bottle. Recently purchased its predecessor Allure Homme Sport, and I find that one to be much better. But not all is lost, the Eau Extreme does smell nice, I just will have the 5oz for life. Learned my lesson and if all that comes from that is I have a Chanel fragrance for life, then I guess worse things could have happened. Great video, your concepts don’t go unnoticed and unappreciated. You and Joy Amin give great advice and knowledge, I’ve learned a lot from you, so thank you for the wisdom you share.

[@stantino129]

I thought I was the only one that felt that way about Hawas. I actually prefer Mont Blanc Legend Sprit over that. Love this concept because I'm constantly looking for alternatives to popular mainstream fragrances. Another bangin' video as always JC 💯💯💪🏾💪🏾

I feel the exact same about Hawas as you do. For me it is one note or like you said linear. I have tried 3 different times to wear it and each time I am ready to scrub it off as soon as I put it on.

[@punchetuenge9817]

Man… Justin you are killing it Dude!!! Great job👍 I work in a busy supermarket, I’m 47, and my top 3 compliment getters are: 1. ADG Profondo 2. Rasasi Hawas 3. Versace Eros These are by no means my favorites. I personally love DG light blue forever (when it’s hot out) JPG Ultra Male, YSL l’homme le parfum, and Rochas mustache. BUT, they get no love. Maybe it’s because I work in a college town?

[@stayfreshproductions]

Couldn't tell you why they don't get love, but as long as you love them, you're good 👌🏾

[@aaronmoore9055]

Great video. Yeah my Prada Carbon and Prada Ocean is collecting dust. I think they are the last of my regret fragrances that I own. I wish I found this channel earlier, could have possible saved a lot of money.

[@thewafflez_73]

BOIS IMPERIAAAAAAL!!!! I’ve been wearing the F out of it, now that it’s no longer 20 degrees outside. It’s intoxicating, so interesting, so different. Akigalawood is quickly becoming a favorite note, I’ve realized, as Ex Nihilo’s The Hedonist is another fragrance I can’t stop reaching for.

[@munkeefinkelbeen5395]

I don't necessarily agree with you on some of this, but I definitely see where you're coming from. I own a good chunk of these, both the overrated and the recommendations. I gave my bottle of 3AM to my brother, and now I cant seem to find it anywhere for less than like $50, so I caved and spent that to get a new bottle

[@JonDonJulio]

Wooo! This is my new favorite segment! I’ve really wanted to get fragrances that showcased these types of life transitions.

[@Windingspirals]

Funny. 'I wanted it to stop' re the Hawas. 😄 I've come round to your idea of their being a place for short duration frags after nixing hard for the last couple of years. Amouage opus 9 is beastly. Beautiful deep leather and floral and 10 hours later its still pumping. Its a commitment. On a two frag day, it can't go first.

[@matthewmcqueen8289]

Salt and pepper is sleeper glad I picked it up. I plan on wearing it as my every morning until evening scent

[@Frommalwithlove]

Salt and Pepper is definitely on the list. All my favorites have mentioned it.

[@lecrapface5270]

Love the list. I tried Dylan Blue because I saw it on so many lists, and to me it's a Bleu de Chanel knock off. It starts out just like BDC but then it does something really weird like the fragrance just craps out. I don't know if I love BDC so much that I can't stand Dylan Blue or if it's just that I hate Dylan Blue. Anyways, on another note, for a man freshy, may I suggest Mancera's Black Gold? I'm trying it for the first time tonight and my God is it beautiful! It's like walking through a beautiful flower garden in full bloom. It's unisex, leans feminine but there's something so masculine about it. I don't think every guy would enjoy Black Gold, likely only certain types, but wow, it's like a fresh version of D&G's The One Luminous Night.

[@stayfreshproductions]

I tried Black Gold years back and I enjoyed it!

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I like these categories. I am holding myself apart from these categories because: female, old, not dead yet, long time collector and female. I’ve classified some scents as too youthful, too masculine, too ubiquitous and too unimaginative.

All good! Compliments don't make a fragrance great for me. They are just a byproduct of the fragrance accenting my confidence. The way it smells to me matters most, because I have to love it even if I'm not getting compliments. If the scent of Explorer is a 10/10 for you, even without compliments, then you've found a keeper.

Polish 101, vowels are Latin, consonants are always hard except c, z, w, l, y and unless they're made soft with an accent above the letter. C is TS unless it's before an H; Sz is sh, cz is ch, rz or z with a dot a French j. W is always V. L is l except when is has a slash through it then it's pronounced as an English w, y is kinda like a German u with the umlaut or an English short I like in Tim. Double letters are rearticulated and the word is split into two syllables. So: Lempicka is 3 syllables Lem, Pete's, Ka. for all intents and purposes, she's French and this is not her real name or the name of her husband. I have no clue how she pronounces it. Lem-peak-a works too, I wouldn't split hair over this. Either way, it's a scent I want to look into.
