    I just don’t believe it should be a “category” on how good a fragrance is. I don’t mind if someone says “this fragrance also gives me a lot of compliments. But compliments shouldnt have anything to do with the composition of a fragrance nor change the fragrances character.

    @murraygodfrey7540 3 года назад

    Great points. Compliments are subjective. For those of us married guys, only one person's comments really matter anyway. Personally I get compliments on almost any fragrance I wear appropriately, some from guys, some from women. There is always someone out there that will like it or the companies wouldn't make it, so I just choose what I like. For me, the trick to compliments is figuring out the right amount to apply for each fragrance. Not easy, it's different for each one. I've noticed with the same fragrance, if I over- or under-apply, it gets fewer comments. If I apply it right, I get more comments.

I tend to pair it with Aventus and this seems to be a winning formula on those occasions I want to be noticed without wearing something that might be offensive to others

  • @ShayanAziziPiano
    @ShayanAziziPiano 3 года назад

    I appreciate this video, and I agree fragrances should be personal, and it's not always about compliments. But I feel what makes fragrances different than sports jackets or watches, is that fragrances are an intimate experience that goes in the olfactory system of those around you, and those scents can evoke memories, emotions, feelings, and sensations without the person knowing where that smell is coming from. Very intimate. Whereas someone has to lock eyes with an article of clothing and there are not many intrinsic animalistic qualities behind those objects.

    @RonaldJapenga 3 года назад

    I don't get the 'hype' of Eau Sauvage. I tried it in store once and found it extremely odd smelling. Very medicinal. The ladies in the shop also said they didn't like it. Whenever I see it listed in a Top X list I wonder whether I've smelled a bottle that had gone off or something. I will have to try it again and perhaps somewhere else.

  • @Frag_Star

    Why is it that the new blend of a certain fragrance is never “better” than the original version. I can’t think of one review that has exclaimed “the new formulation of this fragrance is just blowing my mind”? Hmmmm....just wondering what’s up

    • @mazrashid6549
      @mazrashid6549 3 года назад +5

      It does kind of make sense. Who knows how long a perfumer works to perfect a certain scent (weeks, months, years maybe)? Then once it's perfected and released ingredient regulations change and they either have to substitute certain ingredients or drop them altogether. I can't see how reformulation in response to regulation change would improve a fragrance?
      On the other hand it is curious that according to reviewers no fragrances EVER seem to get better. That is strange.

    They do compliment videos in watch channels occasionally...but not a lot. The reason? The one's that tend to get compliments when they do those vids are classy-looking leather strap dress watches that may be super cheap like some Orient, or gold watches like a gold santos, day date, etc. The stuff most watch people like are "steel sports stunners" that are super expensive, but only in-the-know people would notice or care about.

    There is nothing wrong with mass pleaser fragrances. There is also nothing wrong with non-mass pleaser fragrances, the one that you wear just for yourself. People can own/wear both type of colognes/perfumes, how crazy is that?!

    I wear fragrances every day and I RARELY get a compliment. I think all the "most complimented" lists are crap, just to get ratings. Most people don't know the difference between Creed and Nautica.
