    Now this is a way to stir the pot - to have the first two fragrances be Layton and BR540. So Layton is my signature and based on my understanding of the online space regarding niche perfumery, it appears to be towards the top of all beginners lists which effectively takes away from the reason why most people wear niche to begin with - to stand out or to be different. To me the other two popular niche fragrances that have all-year potential are Hacivat and Aventus, but those aren't really anything like Layton. A scent that doesn't get a lot of attention, but I feel like could belong into this class is Torino from Xerjoff. It is still relatively new and I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere online, not a single video.

    Man, I enjoyed all videos in this series. I don't agree all of your choices but love the way you aproach the topic not even mentioning your humble, honest and genuine story telling. And these videos provoked an idea in my mind, thinking if we make ourselves love some fragrances just because they're overhyped? I really like to know your opinion on that, may be you also make a video on this.

    What I appreciate about Justin’s videos is that he understands that fragrance and “freshness” is a art form. Nothing wrong with going with the “popular” scents, after all wouldn’t be popular if they weren’t good…but there is an appreciation and individuality in going for these alternatives…another great vid bro! Keep em coming, I’m coming for that next giveaway! Lol

    Loving this series because it honestly helps showcase some new fragrances that not everybody is talking about. There is nothing wrong with these fragrances and if you like them then wear them but maybe someone doesn't own one of these more popular fragrances and would rather own an alternative, this series is perfect for that.

      I have the EDT and it's left gathering dust due to being so overplayed. Elixir sounds great from what I've heard but I'm afraid with the way it's being hyped, everyone will smell like it in a year or two much like the EDT.

    These are good choices with some of the most popular fragrances out there. I agree with you, the overhype doesn't mean they're bad fragrances, it just means that other good ones are overshadowed. Offering alternatives that don't really share the same scent profile is an excellent idea. I'm glad reviewers like you, Ross, Michella, and Equality Fragrances put us onto selections that are unsung heroes. I wouldn't think of comparing Layton to DesirToxic. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

    Great Series Justin. I'm familiar with Sauvage and totally agree with you there. Interesting alternative for Layton, you know 12 years ago Micallef was very strong here in Dubai but for the past few years I never see them, i even thought they went out of business. I loved the earlier bottle designs more. They had one called Gaiac that smelled amazing and I still regret that I never got one. I did get a limited edition formulation from them called Njaiman (not sure of the spelling) it is actually one the best animalistic sweet perfumes I ever smelled (used it on my wedding day). Azzaro wanted was just ok but recently I got a wanted by night, didn't get to use it though. What about underrated perfumes Justin? I can name a few that no one seems to be talking about.

So that "a little bit too woody and dry" vibe is not a good alternative to Layton in my opinion, because Layton is smooth apple and vanilla.

    I love the smell of dry sweet tobacco, but my skin doesn't usually work with it. Wanted BN? Sour, terrible. The one EDP? Same! Herod? Slightly better, but still bad.
    Then I tried l'homme Ideal Extreme: oh yes, it works, and it's perfect! My favourite from the line for sure!

    Do something where you match fragrances to songs, if not done already?

    What would you say about replacing Tom Fords Oud Wood with Atkinsons His Majesty the Oud? I recently smelled it and I think it smells so beautiful and it is also very calming. It kind if reminds me about Replicas By the Fireplace. 🤔
