I feel like our taste in scent is so similar and it makes me confident in many of your suggestions. I know Oud Wood sits in your favorites from previous videos, and it is also the first “expensive” frag I’ve ever purchased a few sprays in. I knew it was in my S-tier seconds in. Just today, I was thinking, “why haven’t I seen more mentions of Black Saffron?” Sure enough, here it is in a video of yours. Thank you for your transparency / thoughts / effort!
Love your energy and your back breaking videos came from TikTok’s then yt shorts then finally bingeing your full videos. Props. I’m loving everything. I’m also dropping a sub you’re too real.
I really appreciate your channel and your great insight on fragrances. There are several on this list that I have purchased in the last 12 months alone based on your reviews and I haven’t been let down. I love the analogies and situations and vibes/moods on how you describe everything. My newest I’m enjoying is Creed Aventus Cologne. Which is my scent of the day. I love the original Aventus but the Cologne is more for every day use especially in the warmer days. I’ve been complimented so much on it and I get pretty good longevity as well. Keep rockin’ 👌🏾
I Love Your Content on Mens Cologne I’m Going Too Start A Collection Soon And you Give Great Suggestions on what Cologne too buy please keep your men’s Cologne content coming 🔥
Thanks for the great suggestions. I’m going to look into Blue Agave. And I agree 100% with the Aventus thing. I figured that out long ago, no matter who I’ve dated or introduced to Aventus, no one has ever really been impressed by it. Just the Hype Train passengers. Thanks again. Be blessed.
Another great video! Please can you recommend a pineapple fragrance like Cedrat Boise without the smoky notes? I tried it for the first time and hate it! I think it's the cedar that gives it an ashtray like smell on my skin? Should I just go for the OG Aventus or a clone? I've tried Aventus Cologne but miss the pineapple note.
you should try wearing naxos on skin in the heat, seems counter intuitive being a "gourmand" but one spray on each arm and maybe on neck depending on day and it turns more sweet citrus flowerboyish than mafia boss and is way less nauseating to me. I know seems super weird but you should try it if you havent
I know the Carmine theme amongst RUclipsrs is that creed Aventis gets no love from women, but that’s just not the case at least for me or in my area (NYC NJ). With that said, I’ve never gotten one complement when I wear Savauge cologne. My most complemented fragrances are tear by Hermès, Creed, Aventis, intense, café, instant crush, and then I get some compliments for velvet, sensual, or Cedrat Boise. Then I have a couple other random ones I used to get a lot for Layton when I had it and they currently have Percival and each ALTANE Ave., which I get very little compliments with personable and less compliments than I expect with HALTANE because that one smells amazing. Oh, I left off reflection by Amouage I get, good complement factor on
I am my 3rd bottle of Cedrat Boise. I still have some of the intense but I am on my second bottle of the OG and personally, I think the OG smells better and I have received a number complements from ladies but none with the intense. Also all the compliments have come when I thought it fell off. The latest was yesterday 7 hours after applying from a waitress at lunch. The OG will always be in my collection.
I understand these are for women… but with Naxos I got a nauseous headache. Was way to sweet to wear even if not for me. My wife loved it , but I just couldn’t stand it.
I had a sample of Kalan the other day, only time I have worn it. Most compliments I have ever gotten in a single day. Probably going to pick one of these up soon. I'd bet Layton is second in for ladies compliments for me, but hard to say since I wear Layton non-stop and Kalan only the once.
I have also heard that as well but, it is ridiculous. There is nothing to be compared between Mancera's Red Tobacco and Carlisle. I have Carlisle and it is a much better juice. I had a sample of Mancera's Red Tobacco and haven't sprayed it on me since the first time tried it. I didn't like it that much.
@@fantasticmrvick you’re lying man. They have that same horrible smell. I don’t think it is tobacco because I have never smelled such a horrible tobacco fragrance as Red Tobacco and Carlisle. It may be some dry tobacco mixed with some oud or something. Whatever it is, it smells bad.
I’ve literally had dozens of women stop me and ask me what I’m wearing when I wear Aventus. I have over 300 fragrances and it’s by far my most complimented fragrance.
@@Arinze_0007 I'm with you on that. Naxos is nice and beautiful but, I have yet to get a compliment for wearing Naxos. Haha. I do have the Aventus EdP and have been complemented few times, including a 1NS. ❤🔥
I have Adventus, Adventus Colonge, and CDNIM Limited Edition... I have the most complimemts with the CDNIM by far with Adventus Colonge next, amd the OG Adventus is a hit and miss.
@@stevenschembri1288 Naxos is overrated also. You only prefer it because you feel the scent is more exclusive and the presentation is nice. It’s overrated af
I got a sample of the Salt and Pepper of your recommendation. Smells good but wasn't wow'd. But it was a hit with the ladies at work 😂. You're right about he masculine and feminine nose. One of the compliments I got was, "you smell like macho alpha!" But in spanish. Then I pumped my chest as a joke. Anywho, keeping an eye if it goes on sale.
When other guys ask what I’m wearing, I used to tell them Clive Christian Imperial Majesty. The problem is when they look it up they know I’m lying… 🤣🤑 Now I tell them I saved up and got Clive Christian No 1. 🤣😂🤣
@@Rubiks_LIVE LOL. Everyone that has bought the new one as given nothing but complaints. I'll never understand why Mancera had to renew the cedrat boise fragance...ever
An ex-girlfriend of mine has a girlfriend now and when she visits me, she puts on one of my most masculine scents (she totally didn't feel like wearing before), in order to smell sexy to women. 😉
I believe people are lying about Carlise. I've bought this Twice and it has been a skin scent for me. Both were 2021 batches. Im trying hard to give it a chance but the performance is HORRIBLE
Yes they lie about a lot of fragrances. A lot of fragrances listed in this video tend to get lied on a lot (Cedrat Boise, Percival, Naxos). I think Carlisle stinks
I think it definitely might be your skin chemistry. I had a 2021 batch and it lasted on me all day. But there are plenty of fragrances that others say last on them all day, and on me, I only get a few hours or they become a skin scent within an hour or two.
In your opinion what is a manly man's perfume for someone that's a gladiator a fighter a down n dirty fearless tough sob please tell me your honest opinion no beating around the bush your a woman and a woman should like a manly man
AC does not have pineapple as a note and it certainly does not smell like pineapple. Your nose is broken if everything is smelling like pineapple. Even Elysium smells like pineapple to you, it's vetiver forward. 🤦♂️. Stick with designers✌️

Nice list,definitely understand the PDM love Carlisle and Herod are two of my favorites, receive compliments wearing them also.
I love Kalan! It's one of my favorite Parfums De Marly fragrances.
My top 3 I’ve been wearing a lot lately are Silver mountain water, Sedley and Layton

Are the new batches of Cedrat Boise still worth buying or nah
@@jackwhite4080 If you can get it for the low but overall yes.
@@jackwhite4080 definitely, the quality is there independently of performance
@@seanjoseph2310 where you can get it for the high?
where did you get your Cedrat Boise from?
Couldn’t agree more with your recommendations 🙌🏽❤
Have you ever got your nose on the Elysium Extrait version? I love that one, it's basicly Elysiums drydown but it lasts forever.
Great list, I'm obsessed with PDM frangrances..!
PdM, my favorite Niche house with my signature Percival👌🐎
I absolutely love carlisle,kalan,Herod,layton. I got a big bottle of percival on the way. Next one after that is darley I love pdm
Greenley is amazing try it
@Adi Kh I sure will I love pdm
Good look...great episode, thank you.
Really good list, my top 3 are: Naxos, Aventus Clogne and Kalan 💯
I love kalan so much. So underrated
@@MrMan-fx3ow smells like asss
Wow, 35 minutes, I'm curious. I'll watch later but you'll get my like right now! 👌
Ahh, I too know the annoying pain of telling a friend your signature fragrance for them to later smell the same 😂
could you do a review on the city rhythms fragrances?
My bottle of percival (2022-10-31 batch) doesn't last on me at all, I get about 2 hours of performance :/
I would LOVE to get your opinion about Terre d'Hermes...
Bell pepper is exactly what I get from Kalan too. I wanted to like it but just can’t get there yet.
That precious liquid that you sent me is so good and amazing love the video Melissa stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
Can you do a video recommending fragrances for teen/ young men? I would love to pick up a scent for my nephew but have no clue what to choose.
Check out the Designer list I did recently :)
Carlisle my go to in the fall/winter
Incredible review 😊
I wish I were rich so I could buy every fragrance you highly recommend. I’ll
Make it one day💯 then I’ll be putting you on to fragrances😉
Try blessed baraka from initio !!
Carlisle, Percival, GFS … mmhh … they’re all so good.

Trust me get you a bottle of kalan dam it is awesome
Kalan is my signature compliment beast
But layton is on the same level
@Adi Kh Yes I love my pdm. I tell you another dam good one. Percival is a compliments getter
@@jts4248 yeah percival is also a beast but its not niche enough, my favorite are.
1.kalan
2.carlisle
3.layton
4.herod
5. Greenley
6. Pegasus
If you have Parfum de marley Layton already does it make sense to get PDM Percival ?
Both make so much sense. And they’re completely different.
Which would you say is better for summer mfk gentle fluidity or amyris homme?
I have both…GFS for me. The price/performance isn’t there with Amyris
Fluidity Silver. Amyris has some kind of sweetness which is not comfortable during high heat
You have a very good taste 👍 👍
Have you tried Les Sable Rose?
Hi Melissa have you heard of the surge of Parfums De Marley fakes being sold by discounters? If so what do you think of it?
which discounters lol
Great vid, really enjoy ur content. But Akchyually.. Cologne is not pineapple but rather Apple-oriented and imho that's what made it better
Fire list
Creed Silver Mountain Water has become my favorite cologne. I like Aventus as well, but not like the Water
The only two creeds i own are SMW and Aventus Cologne. Try the cologne version of aventus, its lighter like SMW
@@lilbroomstick7914 thanks for the suggestion. I’ll give it a go
I want to get Cedrat Boise. I just got a full bottle of Naxos and can confirm it’s elite
I'm going buy Naxos tomorrow. My first niche
@@user-mv7kh5sv9z *It's heavenly*
You should try Jones beach by bond no.9 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
People compare Carlisle to Mancera Red Tobacco a lot, which I really can't stand (and tobacco in general). How prominent is the tobacco in Carlisle?
I don’t like red tobacco but love Carlisle

Mancera magnetic cap is water

I’ve literally had dozens of women stop me and ask me what I’m wearing when I wear Aventus. I have over 300 fragrances and it’s by far my most complimented fragrance.
It is a nice fragrance but in my opinion, it is very overrated. I much prefer Naxos. Aventus is also waaaaay overpriced!
But not everyone compliments Naxos. It's a good fragrance though. But it's not that mass apealing.

Do you wear percival? I remember you gave it away
I gave it to my dad so I’m borrowing this from him :)
You put a couple of Precious Liquids on there, I would point out that this is the brand of the guy who made Oud Wood. So you know he knows sexy.
Weird fragrance. It’s reminds me of Another 13 by Le La Bo. My nose hate it, but my brain 🧠 addicted to it animalic smell.
It lacks the pineapple, and the birch
Elysium vs Hacivat?
Both. But you gotta get both version of Elysium too
