Just purchased a 10 ml of this unique and lush scent called African Rooibos, and this is super unisex. Chris knocked it out of the box on this one. Thanks for the review.
I just got African Rooibos and I love this. I have always wanted a tea scent and love this one for filling that niche. Feel like I started with the best. I love that earthy spice and then that clean mouth watering aspect like you mentioned. I agree 10/10! Wouldn’t change a thing about it.
@@stayfreshproductions You’d think! But people in general feel so personally offended when someone else has different taste. We are individuals, all with different tastes, perspectives and opinions. Of course we aren’t all carbon copies of each other. I don’t know why this is so hard to understand and respect.
Great list Justin! s/o to Chris Collins fragrances. I haven't tried that one and I will, but I just got my Vide Cor Meum and I'm floored by this fragrance. Now one of my fav rose fragrances
I always love your reviews Justin...will be blind buying Chris Collins' Sweet Rooibos. You have been so high on this house and I have purchased two other blind fragrances that I have loved based on your reviews!
Thoroughly enjoyed this video, this is why this is my favourite youtube Channel, always bringing new and different fragrances that are incredibly intriguing :)
I saw African Rooibos and had to click and like. I agree about it's perfection BUT if you layer it on top of your favorite spicy vanilla (I know layering isn't your thing but trust me)? It's even more perfect. As for Day Three Fragrances? I'll tell people to get their discovery set and snap up bottles before they really blow up. Say Less is my second favorite iris frag. Bani is a fantastic not-too-sweet mango frag. I haven't tried the new Filosofia yet but I will soon. Thanks for the vid!
That whole line from Guerlain (Absolu d'Orient) is absolutely stellar. I need to look into Chris Collins, it's a house I'm not familiar with. Fantastic left field selections as always.
Honestly, 2nd Soul is one of my 10/10 discoveries this year. I had to grab a second bottle. Well, you mentioned L’Humaniste and just had to order a sample of African Rooibos. L’Humaniste is one of my favorites in my collection. Freaking love your channel ❤
More videos like this please yes and more links where us forgotten peeps in South Africa, the gem of the South, can also easily purchase these aromatic wonders.❤
Wooooo! Day 3 fragrances is wowing me right now. I ordered the discovery set. All have impressed me. Not one disappointed me yet. So far Filosphia, Del Mar and Ambar Dominicano so far are the best to me.
Always great when you promote new niche / indie houses. Putting them on the spotlight with a fragrance included in your list helps their exposure even if its not the same fragrance from your list that we end up buying or showing interest in. Field notes from Paris is really good especially for those who dont like ashy or smoky scents. However, may i ask if youd call it a tobacco-centric scent? :)
Thank you Edgardo. I don’t know if I’d call it tobacco-centric. I believe it uses tobacco blossom, but not necessarily the leaf. I don’t get anything smoky, ashy, earthy, or overtly dark about it. But I definitely detect a warmth as it dries.
I love Alghabra fragrances. Labyrinth of Spices, Istanbul's Soul, and Ancient Fortress (one of the most unique DNAs I've encountered in years) are all great. I'm also a big fan of Chris Collins and have a decant of African Rooibos on the way. I like how his most of his scents are very approachable and easy to wear, while still being interesting. He really walks that line between niche and designer.
Fantastic list! I own all but two and can attest to the quality and uniqueness of your recommendations. I especially love the Adamo. The whole line is amazing. Have a wonderful Christmas my friend.
Ah, thank you for putting Aqualis back on my radar. It was the next discovery set purchase on my list but I got sidetracked with a lot of things non fragrance related. Will be grabbing that ASAP. I meant to do that almost immediately after watching your first experience with them in your unboxing awhile back. Still can't get the Freddy Kruger thing out of my head because of it lol
Hi Dear Justin 😊 Such a amazing experience to watch this hidden gem 💎 fragrance review ! Love 💕 This Kind Of Content 😍 Labyrinth Of Spices Really Sparked My Curiosity! Currently hunting dowm Cartier Noir Absolute 🤘
Amo seu trabalho, sua sinceridade e paixão transparece em cada resenha, desculpe por não me expressar em inglês mas não conseguiria ser claro numa língua que não é minha. Um grande abraço de um seguidor seu do Brasil.
Another awesome and informative video as always, definitely going to have to my nose on some of them. Also want to say thank you for turning me on to Papilefiko simply an amazing scent. I’ve only had it a week and it’s been my SOTD for four of those days.
Not anything related to this video but I just smelt Narciso Rodriguez blue noir parfum for the first time and after years I’ve realised I’m not a fan of iris. I’ve just had that feeling and I’m not a fan, yet the realisation just happened
Don't know if this gets to you in time! I'm wearing African Rooibos out this weekend. Should I just hit the pressure points and leave it at that, ordo a good once over? My first time out in over thirty years! BTW, love your videos. Very informative!
Christian provozano is my favorite perfumer have to check that house, he does all the boadicea perfumes as well. My weird one that's a ten out of ten is Sayat Nova by Bortnikoff, caramelly oudy goodness
Lol I had the EXACT same experience as you with Bois Mysterieux. First impression was at Disney as well and I had the same reaction you had. It’s been years since that day at Disney so after seeing this I’m set on getting my nose on it again. Maybe I’ll end up with a bottle too lol
My brother is visiting in-laws in England and I am using him as a mule to bring me a bunch of UK based frag discovery sets 😂 Aqualis is one of those sets.😅
Really wanting to try Adamo Parfum V. I wish I could find a site selling samples of their individual scents rather than the entire sample set. I’m sure it will pop up on sample sites in time.
@@stayfreshproductionsthank you! I’m seeking classic barbershop shaving cream scents. A few years ago I bought every popular scent and mostly just liked the fresh ones. So, I collected a bunch of freshies to find my favourite. Now, I’m on to barbershop because I love almost all shaving cream smells. Sandalwood might be my favourite
@@M.D.-qr2xv what’s most important is that you love the way they smell. You can’t completely control how long they will last/how long you can detect them, nor whether or not people will compliment you on them. Right?
I recently got a sample of African Rooibos, and honestly wonder if mine is defective lol. The first 10 seconds are deliciously gorgeous! And then after a few seconds, every trace of that vanishes and all I can smell is some gross rubbery scent 🤢 I don’t get any of the notes that I heard here or read online :/ which is a shame because it really sounded like something I would love
Zaharoff 2nd Soul is NOT a 10/10 fragrance, people. It's not even a 1/10 fragrance. It's not a 2, 3, 4 6, 8, or even 0 out of 10. Attributing a number rating to one of the GOAT frags of today is not only offensive but just flat-out inappropriate. It's like one person saying "what's your favorite planet?" and then answering by saying "the sun", because...IT MAKES NO DAMN SENSE WHY THE DAMN THING SMELLS SO DAMN GOOD. All the rest of the frags JC mentions here are, well, cute and all, but he's just bullshittin' really, because even he knows that 2nd Soul is STILL dunking on all of em. You want a merry xmas AND a happy new year? Go get 2nd Soul.
I'll be honest, some of these brands I don't know much about, I don't know if they make original scents or would be considered brands that make clones. I assume coming from your channel, these are original scents unless you state otherwise.
Totally understand. Clones are not my favorite. So if I talk about them, it’s in an explicitly dedicated video to them. I don’t trickle them into lists because I honestly don’t wear them much.
Some fascinating suggestions, here, great vid. My only negative point is not really even primarily directed at Justin (not even close), but... I really think "intoxicating" should be banned as an adjective for fragrances from now on.
Fragrances are awesome bro! I have a watch collection, and firearm collection, and a gold jewelry collection. By far my fragrance collection is my favorite.
@@pstan314 making RUclips videos is not my life calling, but it is currently one of my jobs. So my job is not necessarily my passion, but fragrances are definitely one of them. I’m sure if you made videos about your family or your job, you would be passionate too.
@stayfreshproductions yes, I believe 5 of them. They did smell quality. But they didn't last very long on my skin. The longevity wasn't acceptable. It's so my many other brands. Make better perfumes to me. That's subjective oh yeah. I really not into anything popular. I get bored very quick.
@@javoneldridge8046 please remember how subjective performance is. All of their fragrances last until the next day on my skin. If they don’t last on you, that’s your skin, or your nose just no longer detecting them.
Wow the way you describe the Day Three fragrance and Field Notes From Paris are particularly intriguing to me. I might have to get decants of both of them 🫡

Happy to see African Rooibos in this list. Very underrated beaut 😍

Glad you dig it!
Just discovered African Rooibos. Amazing! Loving my new fragrance addition.
Love African Rooboos. Chris Collins very consistent line overall.
We need more of this!!
It's always nice to discower new fragrances with you Justin so yes, turning this into a series would be great.
Thank you!
I really appreciate that you reviews fragrances no one else is talking about. Really informative.
African Rooibos is on my wishlist! As a South African I've always wanted a rooibos fragrance, the ultimate comfort for me
It's so good!

Very refreshing.
Thank you very much!
Heck yea Chris Collin’s selections are wow African Rooibos, Oud Galore, LongKiss GoodNight, Tokyo etc very stimulating
THIS!!! 1:35 The number of times you see people getting upset because content creators don’t like what they like and viceversa: “We are both right” 👏🏼

Zaharoff Signature Aurum did that to me. It is my absolute favorite and i believe ill gladly keep it in that spot as my favorite forever
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
Love African rooibos. My favorite CC.

Please do! Thank you.
Recently bought Filosofia by day three and I'm goin to say...that you're going to like it even if you don't love it Mr Justin.
I’ve given it a couple full wearings and it’s really good.

I've tried (and have) a few of these, but you definitely threw out some new ones for me! I appreciate videos where you explore new houses.

Chris Collins is top tier. African Rooibos is one of my favorites. Citrus Grandis is wonderful for Spring.
Chris Collin’s has some banger’s!
Fantastic list! I own all but two and can attest to the quality and uniqueness of your recommendations. I especially love the Adamo. The whole line is amazing. Have a wonderful Christmas my friend.

Definitely narrowing my next fragrance down to Oud galore or African Rooibos.
Chris collins Sweet Taboo is great!
Great video Justin
And Merry Christmas to you and safe and happy new year. 😊

So Ambar Dominicano used to be my favorite one. Nowadays I find myself teetering in a fine balance between La Tacita de Cafe or their new Filosofia.
Dude, that is HILARIOUS…”it almost SCARES me…” There is no one that reviews fragrances like you, Justin! Love it!!!😂👊🏽
Haha! I appreciate that Jeffrey!
African Rooibos really amazing
I wear L’humaniste at work. Smells nice!
Yes it does!
Not anything related to this video but I just smelt Narciso Rodriguez blue noir parfum for the first time and after years I’ve realised I’m not a fan of iris. I’ve just had that feeling and I’m not a fan, yet the realisation just happened
Just passing Thur what's up big brotha merry Christmas enjoy your day with your family✍️
Don't know if this gets to you in time! I'm wearing African Rooibos out this weekend. Should I just hit the pressure points and leave it at that, ordo a good once over? My first time out in over thirty years! BTW, love your videos. Very informative!
Hey Joseph! The pressure points should be just fine! I’m curious, where are you headed for this very special occasion?
@@stayfreshproductions headed out to my youngest son's wedding and reception. I'm a lucky man.
Christian provozano is my favorite perfumer have to check that house, he does all the boadicea perfumes as well. My weird one that's a ten out of ten is Sayat Nova by Bortnikoff, caramelly oudy goodness

Nice!
Stay Fresh Productions Baby!!!
Day Three is an amazing house. I love Del Mar, Say Less, and Bani better than any of their darker or more amber fragrances.
Would you find African Rooibos wearable in the heat / summer months? I am totally intrigued by it
Not my first choice for a hot day! But summer evenings, sure
I'm a woman, who wears African Rooibos, and layer it with Kayali Vanilla 28.Sweet Taboo is masculine, but I still wear it.
Awesome!
Kalahari is pretty amazing :) It's what King of Zamunda would wear in Coming to America 🤣 Exotic opulence
My brother is visiting in-laws in England and I am using him as a mule to bring me a bunch of UK based frag discovery sets 😂 Aqualis is one of those sets.😅
Haha nice!
Another great video Brother
Much appreciated
Really wanting to try Adamo Parfum V. I wish I could find a site selling samples of their individual scents rather than the entire sample set. I’m sure it will pop up on sample sites in time.
Should I blind buy Nishane b-612? I’m looking for a new barbershop scent and it’s half price. Any other barbershop recommendations instead?
Simple answer is yes if you are looking for a unique barbershop scent.
Yes, it’s a blind buy for me and liked it. Half price? go for it! Somewhat similar to Roja Scandal.
I wouldn’t call it a safe blind buy as far as barbershops. You might not love it, which could make it a waste of money.

Happy Holidays Justin if I get one of these fragrances you give 10/10 does it get compliments
Happy Holidays! Why do you ask?
@stayfreshproductions because I'm interested in one of them but i don't want to pay alot and it doesn't perform.
@@M.D.-qr2xv what’s most important is that you love the way they smell. You can’t completely control how long they will last/how long you can detect them, nor whether or not people will compliment you on them. Right?
@stayfreshproductions True, but if i spend alot for it and it doesn't perform I'm just left with a fragrance with a high price tag.
@@M.D.-qr2xv I hear you…but if you sample it first, you won’t have to risk that disappointment.
Love me some Guerlain Bois Mysterieux :)

Can I get adamo only on their website?
Currently yes

Strange. Either it’s simply not for you, or it needs a couple weeks to sit and mature. Did you smell it from your skin?
I have to stop at 2:13 and say that is my scent of the day.

So sad that, in particular these days, you need about a mortgage to buy most of the perfumes you promote. For sure most people don't need these.
You don’t need a mortgage to sample any fragrance, which I always recommend first. No one “needs” any fragrance. But what people want is up to them.
