10/10 winter fragances for me: - Parfums de Marly Herod - Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille - Argos Triumph of Bacchus - Initio Side Effect - Farmacia SS. Annunziata Anniversary What do you mean I'm into tobacco fragances? Pah! Okay, I'll give you some without tobacco: - Kilian Angels' Share - Ex Nihilo Amber Sky - Xerjoff Amber Star
PDM Haltane & Carlisle are my winter go-to fragrances but I recently bought Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Azraq and the cold weather really activates the sweet honey, oud, amber, and patchouli. Absolutely love it.
Morning Omar... well early morning here in Vancouver Canada lol... just want to say like many others have said... another great video! We have very similar taste in fragrances. Have to say out of any of the popular fragrance reviewers, your videos are always the ones i most look forward to... keep up the great work!
Herod is better than Carlisle and Layton Exclusif. I used to think Carlisle is the best from PDM, but time after time, after I have smelt all different fragrances and realized how well blended Herod is. Plus when it comes to picking the best, wearability and appeal to the masses play a big role in my opinion. Herod edges both Layton Exclusif and Carlisle at that point. They both are great as you said but sometimes could be too intense and cloying. Most people everyday we are around are not fragheads
I thought the same when I first opened Herod. I did 10 sprays all over my body and it lasted only three to four hours. I was very disappointed and I almost sold it before Herod becomes my favorite scent of all time. Now I only need 6 sprays and it lasts over 8 hours with decent projection. Spray twice on the exact same spot. Y’all will never complain about Herod’s performance again. Never.
@@flyingthundergod3999 I found it on Dior site the other day it was £130 for 100ml. I'm from the UK so it might be more difficult to get in other countries.
Hafez was to spicy for me at first. I let it sit for a while and went with Red Tobacco. After about a year of sitting, it is better now the spice isn't so strong anymore. I like it more than Red Tobacco now.
I legit sprayed only 5 sprays of Prada L'homme intense (2023 batch) I got compliments but was told I sprayed a little too much. I sprayed myself 1 hour before I left my house. I got solid 10+ hours performance from it
I bought and used Prada L'homme Intense earlier in the year and it came off really weak on my skin and I haven't used it since. I need to give it another try in the colder weather as I have found some fragrances really come off weak on my skin in the summer.
Noooo OMAR! Don't mention Layton Exclusif! Its my favourite fragrace ever. I barely managed to hold back on buying a big bottle this BlackFriday to keep company to the smaller one i already have lol. Speaking of which, even that 75ml i got will probably last me a lifetime because as you said, its a fragrance you wear once or twice a year for those rare ocassions.
Awesome fragrances. Mancera Tonka Cola is nice, but I would prefer Red Tobacco. I tried both once, and I received direct compliments for RT, it is also much stronger. Regarding PdM, I must confirm, Carlisle is the best. Herod is definitely a runner up, but Carlisle is king.
I own a 100ml of Naxos and I am constantly trying to find excuses to wear it, the combination of smoothness, sweetness and surprising freshness is addictive. Bought a 5ml of Carlisle and it is a bit challenging, especially in the opening, but beginning to appreciate it more, and I also have a decant of Interlude Black Iris on the way. Speaking of Amouage, have you tried Royal Tobacco? I bought a bottle after getting the Library sampler, it’s my go to for special occasions, smells like pure class to me.
Nice, I’m glad you’re trying the fragrances featured in this list. No but I’ve heard great things! How would you describe Royal Tobacco? ‘Ashy’, smooth, sweet? Etc
@@SchoolOfScent definitely leans sweeter but with a big hit of the incense Amouage is known for, very reminiscent of the bukhoor used in my church. It’s rich and complex and lasts *forever*, I adore it. Hope you get to try it soon!
Like the list on my skin the Interlude black iris projects so strong I have to do one spray on the chest. I put two on my neck once and got some negative feedback, watch out for that one because people used to smelling blue fragrances can be offended by it.
Please add Tom Ford Tobacco Oud, Tobacco Vanille, Noir Extreme, Nishane Ani and Creed Royal Oud to the list please. They are 10 out 10 in most people's opinions, myself included. And Prada L'Homme Intense is one of my best smells ever! Thank you Dr Omar! Jazakallahu khairan.
Hey could please answer my question i have givenchy gentleman resever pervee and azzaro most wanted parfum. Do you think buying valetino born in roma intense fragrance is a good idea ? How similarly are they are ? Could please help me
Do you have Deloox in uk? They have Prada l'homme Intense 150ml for 114,81 gbp or 79,20 gbp for 100ml. Notino also have it for slightly higher price. Is there some way you can shop there?
@@Joshua-yt8uldamn I got to stop wearing spicebomb extreme too much guys wearing it, I was on the train and I smell some ppl came on wearing it, it smells good as shit though
I gotta ask what are your thoughts on clone fragrances and how much they are improving based on technology and upper level clone houses Armaf/Lataffa etc…
It’s crazy that I see this comment after testing Clive Blonde Amber. I do not see a lot of reviewers talking about this scent. This is a masterpiece and a bottle and perfectly unisex.
@@asparceproton1 Then you are going to the wrong sites. Decantx has it with a custom atomizer 5ml for $44. What high end designers are you getting for that price? 😂
Yeah it’s pretty expensive! But it’s worth the price, when you’re a collector and can afford to spend so much money on perfume. Just wearing it out now this evening at a team event. Getting asked what scent I wear like every 15 minutes 😅
ATH Tabac is on my wishlist but I hope Arron fixed his international shipping (from Europe and it’s Pain in the ass ordering something from UK, damn brexit).
Wish 1 million prive and code absolu weren’t discontinued those were my 10/10 winter frags. Now it’s world according to Arthur for vanilla currently searching for replacement for prive nothing smells like it
On Fragnatica, all winter fragrances are put into date night category. Could you recommend a decent day time, casual winter fragrance? I already have azzaro the most wanted but I want to balance it with something lighter/fresher but sill for cold weather.
theres a clone of bleu electrique called fragrance world jack of clubs. supposedly it has better performance and is easier to find than bleu electrique
In my opinion, a pure 10/10 for winter is Must Ravageur Frederic Malle EDP. Classic French perfumery in its finest. In my opinion, a panty dropper, sensual perfume is Noir de Noir EDP by TF. It smells really sex-appealing to me personally. I will own both in future for sure as my reserved life perfumes, this is a goal.😂
Please don't hype Prada L'homme Intense. I want it to be hidden gem 😅 I also consider Jazz Club as perfect 10/10 winter fragnance. Masculine but seductive at same time
Nice video as always, but I think you should do more individual new fragrance videos, because at this point it's always the same fragrances that come back
I think we'll have to wait 6 months for that. 😂 but for now you can go for CH 212 Men NYC, Montblanc Legend Spirit (wait for either of these to go on discount), Missoni Wave is not bad either, Alexandria Black Panther 30ml also!
Prada L'Homme Intense is so amazing. Iris from the powdery original with leather
Pradeep llomme intense is dangerous, I get this unexplained confidence tht a smell damn good
10/10 winter fragances for me:
- Parfums de Marly Herod
- Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille
- Argos Triumph of Bacchus
- Initio Side Effect
- Farmacia SS. Annunziata Anniversary
What do you mean I'm into tobacco fragances? Pah!
Okay, I'll give you some without tobacco:
- Kilian Angels' Share
- Ex Nihilo Amber Sky
- Xerjoff Amber Star
You’re into niche fragrances my friend
PDM Haltane & Carlisle are my winter go-to fragrances but I recently bought Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Azraq and the cold weather really activates the sweet honey, oud, amber, and patchouli. Absolutely love it.
Bought paragon and rehab the other week paragon is amazing can't get enough of it definitely a 10/10 and rehab is intoxicating also a 10/10
Carlisle and Layton Exclusif are my top 2 favorites from PdM

Well everyone knows herod is the best from pdm. But the thing is the scent goes away after 2 hours😂 so i make it my go to sleep scent
@@Iruinherlipstickit's a shame too since the scent is soo good. Current formulations have it as a skin scent.
Agreed. Herod is more smooth and nicer blended than Carlisle. My favorite is Layton tho.
I thought the same when I first opened Herod. I did 10 sprays all over my body and it lasted only three to four hours. I was very disappointed and I almost sold it before Herod becomes my favorite scent of all time.

Y’all will never complain about Herod’s performance again. Never.
I don't know I once had a girl at the bar accuse me of wearing axe when I wore Herod
Great list. Thinking about buying Prada l'homme intense and Tonka cola. I have Tf Tobacco Vanille right now, its a solid 10
Wearing Black Afgano now and I couldn’t agree with u more
For winter i have Dior Homme intense, silky woods and by the fire place… for me all 10/10
I just bought PLI and it is a beast!! My favorite now over DHI. It's not discontinued anymore.
Oooh, I must look for a backup bottle then.
How did u know its not discontinued?

let it macerate, i do that with my winter frangrances during the summer
@@sKy_The_GOAT Thanks for the tip.
I would not say either naxos or layton or tonka cola are winter fragrances, they work great all year round. But its fantastic list overall
I always love your content. Really interested in tonka cola as I like the cola note
Went to a store to test Prada lhomme intense. Elegant fragrance, very unique, but the iris note smells a bit feminine to me
Noooo OMAR! Don't mention Layton Exclusif! Its my favourite fragrace ever. I barely managed to hold back on buying a big bottle this BlackFriday to keep company to the smaller one i already have lol. Speaking of which, even that 75ml i got will probably last me a lifetime because as you said, its a fragrance you wear once or twice a year for those rare ocassions.
Awesome fragrances. Mancera Tonka Cola is nice, but I would prefer Red Tobacco. I tried both once, and I received direct compliments for RT, it is also much stronger.
Regarding PdM, I must confirm, Carlisle is the best. Herod is definitely a runner up, but Carlisle is king.
Golden dallah is amazing for anyone who likes a sweet/spicy coffee scent. It feels like winter Layton
Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
Tonka Cola sounds interesting. Might have to sample it thanks!
I like Angel's share by Kilian as a winter fragrance too since it doesn't get much cold in my country and it smells sooo damn good
Easy 10/10 also
I own a 100ml of Naxos and I am constantly trying to find excuses to wear it, the combination of smoothness, sweetness and surprising freshness is addictive.

@@TitaniumBeast Nice, definitely will!
Just wear it brother. You don't need an excuse to wear naxos. Heat, cold, doesnt matter. It's such a good fragrance.
Alexandria fragrances hafez 1984.,I think am gonna try that one and others...first choice is that tho
Great video man! Yes carlisle so fucking good and prada l'homme intense,jean paul le male parfum
I recently found Prada L'Homme intense in some random department store in Canada and picked it up for retail.
Great Video Omar, I totally agree with all your winter options, they all perfect scents profiles and performance. 10 out of 10.
Sir i just bought your two sample for the colognes you created hope my gf likes the smell of either and i might cop one
Like the list on my skin the Interlude black iris projects so strong I have to do one spray on the chest. I put two on my neck once and got some negative feedback, watch out for that one because people used to smelling blue fragrances can be offended by it.
Would winter and date fragrances be considered in the same category or style? Thanks Omar! Love the channel.
Is Tonka cola a good blind buy? Or should I buy a samples of mancera and smell it because I wanna smell the other ones before I make a final purchase
It is a unique scent even amongst mancera itself, all blind buys come with a risk.
I have tonka cola. Didn’t use it yet. Is it good? Any projection ? Compliments ?
this channel is a gem
Please add Tom Ford Tobacco Oud, Tobacco Vanille, Noir Extreme, Nishane Ani and Creed Royal Oud to the list please. They are 10 out 10 in most people's opinions, myself included. And Prada L'Homme Intense is one of my best smells ever! Thank you Dr Omar! Jazakallahu khairan.
@scentanity2280 These are fragrances that HE HIMSELF would rate 10/10.
Hey omar, i would like to know, what would you recommend more as a daily signature expensive fragrance? l'homme intense or naxos ?
Another interesting content video !! I was wondering is Prada L Homme Intense is redundant to Dior Homme Perfume. Sounds very similar to me. Thanks 😊
Thanks! And no they’re significantly different
Really love LV Ombre Nomade for the winter!!
Hey could please answer my question i have givenchy gentleman resever pervee and azzaro most wanted parfum. Do you think buying valetino born in roma intense fragrance is a good idea ? How similarly are they are ? Could please help me
I just bought a 7 months yo bottle of Prada L'H intense, not sure it's discontinued but they where boguht by L'Oreal, so maybe it's reformulated.
Do you have Deloox in uk? They have Prada l'homme Intense 150ml for 114,81 gbp or 79,20 gbp for 100ml. Notino also have it for slightly higher price. Is there some way you can shop there?
I feel like most of my winter frags are 8 or 9s but here goes
Jubilation Man
DHP
Black Orchid
Toy Boy
Black Aoud
Can le male le parfum be worn during the day (at work) or is it more a night time/date night fragrance?
I think it can as long as the number of sprays is reasonable of course
lol I wore black afgano to an operation that lasted 10 hours! everyone present hated me 🤣
Bro 💀
It doesn’t get more 10/10 for Winter than Spicebomb Extreme. I love that stuff 👌✌️
It's funny, because I live in a tropical country and Spicebomb extreme is more famous than even Dior Sauvage among younger guys.
Wow, that’s interesting 😄🤔
@@Joshua-yt8uldamn I got to stop wearing spicebomb extreme too much guys wearing it, I was on the train and I smell some ppl came on wearing it, it smells good as shit though
Xerjoff's Tony Iommi is my 10/10 winter fragrance. Also very loud, but also very cozy at the same time.
It is very good!
I really want to get my nose on that fragrance
Dont know which one to pick for the winter (10 to 20 degree 😅) between prada l'homme intense and jpg le male le parfum , can you help me out ?
I gotta ask what are your thoughts on clone fragrances and how much they are improving based on technology and upper level clone houses Armaf/Lataffa etc…
Carolina Herrera Bad Boy le parfum also has cannabis notes, do you recommend it for the winter time?
Great video, Omar!
Carlisle PDM is a Masterpiece
Just got my Sample of carlisle in the Mail and it smells Like hafez in the opening
Tonka Cola dry down is so freaking good, and the longevity is insane. 😅. In my skin, it can hold up to 14 hrs.
Omar, 02:54, that's not lavender, it's lupine flower. Stop using that image bro
Great video as always
Informative and no bs 👍
Please Nishane Fan Your Flames and Mancera Hindu Kush, they should have been on that list lol ..
I don’t have Prada Lhomme intense but I have TF Noir. Do you think it’s a substitute? Or would you say they’re not comparable?
They’re both ‘dark’ in their own way but I would say they’re significantly different overall
*Great list* 👍
What’s your thoughts on initio absolute aphrodisiac
Can you review Pineward perfumes? I haven't seen any big perfume channel's review them
Definitely would add Clive Christian Blonde Amber and MFK Grand Soir to that list. Maybe also something like Ojar Infusion Velours 😌
It’s crazy that I see this comment after testing Clive Blonde Amber. I do not see a lot of reviewers talking about this scent. This is a masterpiece and a bottle and perfectly unisex.
@@repbrooklynactually 2 best amber fragrances on the market.
Blonde Amber is a great fragrance. I just wish the price wasn't so high. Even a 5ml decant is more than I spent on 100ml high end designer fragrances.
@@asparceproton1 Then you are going to the wrong sites. Decantx has it with a custom atomizer 5ml for $44. What high end designers are you getting for that price? 😂
Yeah it’s pretty expensive! But it’s worth the price, when you’re a collector and can afford to spend so much money on perfume. Just wearing it out now this evening at a team event. Getting asked what scent I wear like every 15 minutes 😅

Paragon gets slept on, but it really is one of the best from the house. Couldn’t agree more.
baccarat rouge edp and extrait 10/10
What about Prada Luna Rossa Black ?
Thoughts on Dior Savage Elixir? Burberry Hero?
Initio Paragon is my favorite
Wish 1 million prive and code absolu weren’t discontinued those were my 10/10 winter frags. Now it’s world according to Arthur for vanilla currently searching for replacement for prive nothing smells like it
Herod has a similar vibe I feel
How did you get that pretty Hafez bottle? Alexandria doesn’t it sell it like that on their website.
On Fragnatica, all winter fragrances are put into date night category.
Could you recommend a decent day time, casual winter fragrance?
I already have azzaro the most wanted but I want to balance it with something lighter/fresher but sill for cold weather.
Try La Nuit De L’Homme Bleu Electrique if you can get it, otherwise Armani Code Parfum is another safe option
@@SchoolOfScent thanks for reply
theres a clone of bleu electrique called fragrance world jack of clubs. supposedly it has better performance and is easier to find than bleu electrique
Wear what you want when you want
Spot on mate!
Would you suggest Mr Fragrant is a fine winter fragrance as well?
Yes it’s an all year scent 😉
Great 👍 I live in Italy: unfortunately ATH fragrances cannot shipped here
Try S.T. Dupont Perfect Tobacco. If you are brave enough, that is.
Please do a review on lattafa ramz silver (jpg ultra male clone)
Question.. Hasnt Nasomatto gone weak after the reformulation?
I hear they Are All 7-8 hours Max today?
I'm not sure but to be honest I wouldn't mind Black Afgano getting weaker 😂
If you can only buy one, which one would you choose, naxos or herod? Thank you
Naxos
I would add Gris Charnel Extrait to the 10/10 criteria
Yes! It's my scent of the day. Good longevity, great performance, and smells great.
Ambre saffrano from BDK. Spicy woody photo-realistic amber that lasts for 13 hours
Need to try it 👌
Also has plum in it, you will have a blast
In my opinion, a pure 10/10 for winter is Must Ravageur Frederic Malle EDP. Classic French perfumery in its finest.
In my opinion, a panty dropper, sensual perfume is Noir de Noir EDP by TF. It smells really sex-appealing to me personally. I will own both in future for sure as my reserved life perfumes, this is a goal.😂
Nice suggestions bro! MR is definitely one of the best from FM. Nice, I’m happy because Noir was ‘my suggestion’ to you in that one video also. 😂
Hey Omar , Opinon on Alexandria II? I consider buying it.
10/10 also! Of course, very expensive as a blind buy 👀
@@SchoolOfScent i have a decant and jt is soo good. and a private seller sells 100ml for 265€ so i will buy it i think. Thanks bro
Please don't hype Prada L'homme Intense. I want it to be hidden gem 😅
I also consider Jazz Club as perfect 10/10 winter fragnance. Masculine but seductive at same time
To me the only problem of Jazz Club is its performance.. last very few hours on me 😭. I like the scent profile though.
@@KukulcanZ I have similar feelings, I'm respraying it a lot
22 y.o. bought Le Male Le Parfum and now after a year I just dont wear it because it is too sweet know another person who has same issue...
Which fragrances are you wearing instead?
I gotta try at least 1-2 ATH frags.
Prada L'homme intense so bomb
I like your choice 10/10
What's the difference between Dior Homme Parfum and L'homme Intense?
DHP is more ‘serious’ with practically no sweetness, while Prada is more on the ‘playful elegant’ sweeter side. Hope this helps!
@@SchoolOfScent Definitely. Fairly sure DHP will be my next one!
What are your thoughts about Angel Share?
10/10!
Justin of Imagine Scents must be editing your videos. Am I right? lol
I don’t know who that is
Honestly I take ovation man over black iris everytime
great video , we would love to see a list of loud clubbing / going out fragrances you’d give a 10/10
Black Afgano could be one there during cold weather 😅
I checked you site to see the prices of your fragrances, but i saw that you don't ship to the EU, why is that?
The flammable nature of perfumes plus Brexit makes it too expensive to ship to the EU unfortunately.
You need to get your nose on Brioni Intense EDP, game over.
😳
Le male le parfum or Armani Code Parfum?
They’re very different fragrances. 🤷♂️
@@SchoolOfScent Actually no, they are both powdery
I wore a hoodie that had been sprayed with tonka coma the previous day and my sister asked me if I had eaten coca cola candy 😂
Yeeees give me MOAR! POWER!
Ever thought of cleaning the lines of your beard up?
Hey Omar, I know you're not the biggest fan of Montale, but what you think to do another buying guide of them? (If your wallet is ok with it) 😂
Nice video as always, but I think you should do more individual new fragrance videos, because at this point it's always the same fragrances that come back
One genre you are constantly missing is top ten affordable summer fragrances? Haven't seen you make that video.
I think we'll have to wait 6 months for that. 😂 but for now you can go for CH 212 Men NYC, Montblanc Legend Spirit (wait for either of these to go on discount), Missoni Wave is not bad either, Alexandria Black Panther 30ml also!
