And he didn't even talk about their women's line, which is honestly beyond perfume and approaching poetry levels, L'heure Bleue, Shalimar, Mitsouko, etc...
YEEEEES! This is what the fragrannce community needs! An unbiased,honest opinion on what's good and what's shit! What a breath of fresh air! Love your content, Marc! Wishing you happy Holidays! ✅
One of the best tier list I’ve seen that was made purely based on what a reviewer thinks about the frags. Took me back to the good old days You’ll have to get your nose on the the house of Papillon
Love ya work, designer next please or part two of niche. Also If you throw the casamorati line into the Xerjoff mix there are plenty of bangers and of all different styles so Id move them up a spot or two.
I have money to buy one bottle for Christmas and I am debating between Santal Majescule vs Gueralin Heritage (Old bottle, not the square one)...Still can't decide, but probably go towards Guerlain
The Godfather of fragcom. Since 2009, wow, i remember watching you as far back as 2011. Oud Wood 100ml was my first expensive purchase, and that was 250 back in 2012.
Half of the brands I either never heard of or didn't get to try. But the half I tried or owned, I agree with your ranking of them 100%. And im with you on Roja being like Creed when it comes to lies.
Superb format, I’ve really enjoyed watching, and great little overviews of the houses! Thank you :) Lutens, Tom Ford Private Blend, Malle, and Amouage are definitely "S" tier for me too-the perfumery for the soul.
Nice combination of scents and very good classification... but one perfume house should be higher, in my opinion.. Xerjoff - really deserves more appreciation
I think we all wanted to see brands of which we have the most bottles of to be rated higher. For me that was PDM and Amouage, and you devastated me with PDM.
lets go get them again! Just started can't wait to watch this! First like then watch :) EDIT: Finally Parfum D Empire I am talking about that brand last 10 years to my friends where did it go? Nobody mentions it anymore thanks for bringing it up!
We love lists videos, YOUR lists, not just any lists. You can tell from the numbers on this video, Guru!...6K views in 48hrs!... Numbers don't lie!!!❤😊
Great content. I really enjoyed it. The list looks good. Even E list has good company. I might make a few moves. I'm baised for sure. I like the london houses just a tidbit more. You got my favs in S tier so I'm happy about that. My feelings are okay for now.
I hope you will have the chance of putting your nose on Lorenzo Villoresi perfume house, one of my favourite ones. Really happy with the brands in the S tier list, well deserved!
I still love Ursa from Tiziana Terenze, but you're right ☛ Glad to see Lutens still hanging on! Amouage price hikes were a bit of a shock to me. Thanks for the fun watch 👌
Dope idea, this is a great direction for you. One suggestion for you, you could position things in the higher and lower ends of the tiers, better to worse in that tier would go from left to right (if you want to get more accurate) could be cool 🤘
4000+ fragrance geez man. I have around slightly above 100 and I thought I had a problem 😂. More power to you man do what makes you happy. Btw I respect your honesty and brass to have your own opinion. For my virgin nose, I still like somewhat appealing houses as I have not had the acquired taste yet. But I’ve enjoyed mancera, amouge, xerjoff and le labo. Tom ford and guerlain are solid as well but I don’t know if they fit the niche classification but I could be wrong. Going on that borderline classification I also enjoy Lalique.
Guerlain, Kilian and Serge Lutens are probably my three favorite niche brands. Kilian gets some hate, but I love a lot of their fragrances. Back to Black, Single Malt, Angels' Share, Straight to Heaven Extreme, etc. Solid tier list, Marc.
Honestly great list, I do think Roja should be higher and Clive should be one below Roja… PDM and Byredo should be C with xerjoff… finally, bond no.9 in F…
Oh man ! Epic list. I'm really fond of Atelier Cologne but I respect it lol. I still love Bois Blonds from them during warm sunset evenings. Edit: Is Christopher Chong making perfumes anywhere else? His Amouage creations are my fav perfume era too, S++
Interesting video and perspective. It allowed me to discover some brands. As far as the brands that I know; I agree with some and disagree with others. It would be interesting if you could do a tier list based on notes. Like a tier list for leather or oud fragrances.
Oh no, God forbid you disagree with him on anything! He will call you a shill for liking something he doesn't like, and say you are part of the free bottle brigade as well!
I'm a fragrance boomer like robes08 and got into it around 2009 as well (when Le Male was his top dawg) and my perception of the brands are very similar to this list..too.. I don't get it when people hype Xerjoff and PDM etc too, they were very similar to designers we had back then from the brands like Thierry Mugler for a fraction of the price!
I bought a few Rojas at discounters. Thosre prices are outrageous. Discounters make Roja worth it IMO.Have your tried Diaghilev? That fragrance is really something else. Probably the best fragrance I've ever smelled. Way too expensive, though 😅but I'll get it one day.
I was going to be critical when I first opened the video and saw you included Tom Ford was going to be included. My mind immediately wondered why not Guerlain (I couldn't immediately recognize their logo), but you did include that as well. Still, based on your logic the Chanel Exclusifs' should be hear along with Dior (Hermes too?). Then, as I'm watching and seeing all of these hyped brands being featured (you may have the teenagers arguing for hours) all of these other houses came to mind: Beaufort, Nicolai, Masque Milano, Francesca Bianchi, Andrea Maack, Jacques Fath, Jovoy, Jeroboam, Aaron Terrence Huges, Bois 1920, etc. I know you can't include everything. And, your knowledge of some of these houses may be limited (though I know you've done a number of videos of Beaufort, that's how I learned of this house - I also recently purchased my first bottle of Beaufort--Terror and Magnificient). Still, there's a lot to go. That said, I did enjoy the video.
Great one, and I agree with almost everything. Would have put Tauer, Parfums d’empire (it’s pronounced empear) and byredo higher, EldO and the different company lower. Would love to see more !
Don't upset me, as I was already in a bad mood when I pressed play! I'll let you know if I've turned greener in 50 mins.........OK, 50 mins later & I'm still the same shade of green. By & large I agree. A couple up & couple down a tier maybe. I certainly agree that Guerlain are at the top of the pyramid in a Godly tier all of their own.
Well, this was a surprising video. Never thought you'd do a video like this😅.❤❤👏🏼👏🏼 Several of my personal favorite brands are missing. I don't know if that is good or bad😅
@robes08 The once i would love to hear your opinion on is: My favorite 4. And my S - B tier: "Zaharoff" S tier. never misses for my tastes. "Hima Jomo" S tier. I've lately been very impressed by their fragrances. Essentially the seasonal series. "Imaginary Authors" A tier. (have great, artistic fragrances). "Alûstre" B Tier. Several magnificent releases. Essentially "In The Shadows of Bergamot" has my heart. These would be my top 4. Mind, I haven't had a lot of experience with a lot of houses. So most on your list I'm unfamiliar with. Which is a great place to find new and interesting brands (new to me). ❤️❤️👏👏
Creed should be much lower on tier E for the synthetic perfumes they produce and the inconsistency in their quality. That one is really puzzling to me. Also all the more puzzling that you rank Creed at the same level as Bortnikoff, which is most definitely top tier. Heeley and Roja should exchange places.
I found out today that the non Canadien RUclipsrs don't know how to say Guerlain. I had to take this video to my PC and look as close as I could to see the name being pronounced, and I finally picked out the word "Ideal" in the flurry of speech that's incomprehensible to my central US Anglo ears. So Guerlain is S tier? Sounds right!!!
Sad to see Aktinson's in S-tier, there are a few I own that I like a lot (Oud Save the King, The Odd Fellow's Bouquet, 24 All Bond Street, or The Other side of the Oud), the long and strange titles don't help. However I also think a lot of their releases are pretty weak, either non-special scent profiles or very abysmal performance, which is fine inherently, but for the price it is very frustrating. Guerlain in S-tier is always good to see however
I think you forgot or overlooked some. Parfums de Nicolai is a solid B , Histoires de Parfums same, if not A, maybe even Lubin as a solid C. And I don't know why Chanel ,Dior and YSL and Cartier wouldn't be next to Guerlain. They have an equally legendary line of perfumery ( maybe Cartier is just an A ) , just because they make some other stuff outside perfumes doesn't take away the quality of their perfumery. Van Cleef and Arpels also could be a C
@@wutru3142 exactly! some amazing stuff in there! wearing Chypre Siam today actually. the public needs more content about the lesser known true modern pillars
As much as i hate the f.b.b...the possibly fake nose listings...and the extreme price.... the only thing i totally disagree with is the roja in the D tier with tom ford in the S tier. Amouage in the S tier has the exact same fbb and extreme pricing, though i love them very much. At least the christopher chong era stuff when they took chances. Creed is in the A tier for example...theyve been cheapening fragrances ingredients and increasing prices for a while now. I dunno, alot of what you said i agree with but i feel like jokingly asking you where roja hurt you lol. just conversing, ill still watch basically all of your videos haha. Hope you have a good holiday!
To be fair I really gave Amouage the S tier because of the masterpieces of Epic Man, Memoir Man, Interlude Man, Jubilation XXV Man which were all before the FBB. Roja I've smelled several and only two have spoken to me so the low score is justified within my journey. That may changes in a few years. Thank you for the support !
..Sunshine Man, Beach Hut Man, Overture Man, Interlude Black Iris Man, Lyric Man, Gold Man, Myths Man, Reflection 45, Rose Incense, Royal Tobacco, Silver Oud. Amouage has more masterpieces then any other house. They don’t even come close!
I'm sure Clive Christian will be over the moon being labelled as English perfumery - he's Scottish. 😅 Personally, I do well with Terenzi and have picked up many at very good prices. I really like Ursa and Arkagas. Out of your listing, the one I disagree with the most personally (obviously it's subjective) is Creed. They're good, but the prices for what they are is way too high. Historically very good, but having tried many lately they're certainly not worth the coin. Viking is excellent, but it's so short lived it's unbelievable. Tom Ford I personally think are pretty overrated, but the discontinued Noir Anthracite is phenomenally good. Probably B tier for me overall. Great video though, thoroughly enjoyed it. 👍
This almost makes up for half a decade of no seasonal lists. Almost. I would recommend trying more Roja stuff. The prices can approach reasonable on secondary and the quality is better than most. Like Creed, it’s popular to shit on Roja but the quality isn’t really matched by most houses and, like you, I’ve tested thousands of scents over the decades.
Xerjoff is S tier all day, every day. Smell (quality) wise, only Amouage and FM can compete with them. Creed should be way lower, Roja also, Byredo too, Bond is F tier, PdM too. Mancera should be C tier. Ah, it's all subjective in the end. If you go just by the objectively quantifiable things (cost, longevity, originality, brand image) most of these would be F tier.
"British Perfumery is not for me". Good God what an inappropriate generalisation. There isn't just one type of British Perfume. There's everything from historic classic houses like Trumper, Floris and Penhaligons up to the present like Ormonde Jayne, Miller Harris and such like. What a strange blanket dismissal 🤷🏻♂️
I don't think it's inappropriate at all. It's fact for my journey and in this list, all british brands were lower than C tier for me, does that mean I won't discover more ? Not at all. I look forward to discovering more from British brands.
Never clicked on a video so fast in my life!! Are you gonna do a designer one too?

There's everything from historic classic houses like Trumper, Floris and Penhaligons up to the present like Ormonde Jayne, Miller Harris and such like. What a strange blanket dismissal 🤷🏻♂️
I don't think it's inappropriate at all. It's fact for my journey and in this list, all british brands were lower than C tier for me, does that mean I won't discover more ? Not at all. I look forward to discovering more from British brands.
@@robes08 it was the way you phrased it
Im shocked you're not a big fan of Mancera Hindu Kush, warming incense.
Astonishing.
