I hope people finally understand that there is no "best" perfume. There will always be people who dislike it or hate it no matter if its a 20$ perfume or a 400$ one. So buy and wear the one you like.
@@kibekaranja to me Y EdP smells kind of like "meh". Tried to wear it multiple times, but nah. Y Parfum has a bit more character though. But since Y EdP has so many followers it clearly has to be doing at least something right:)
It is very interesting that's what makes this series so special. It's such a different take on scents by people who are not fragrance collectors or enthusiasts.
I created something called Multi-sensory fashion...basically you're right though every colour and scent we unconsciously or consciously associate with certain things whether it's weather, jobs, memories, personalites, foods, plants, colours, etc...Every scent is going to trigger some psychological association with a person. Here's an example what colour do you think lemon smells like? you'll probably say yellow...correct. Citrus fragrances go great with yellow clothes...but you'll probably also associate yellow with the sun and sunny days so want something great for summer. And you may also associate water with the colour blue and aquatic fragrances go great with blue clothes. That's the idea of multi-sensory fashion...another example is wood>brown...trees>green...pepper>black...roses>red...vanilla>white...the exception here may be that red and blue can also mean hot/cold or red may be symbolism of romantic & love good to wear those sexy date night fragrances. Black is also bold and strong, maybe dark or masculine so those bold, strong, masculine, dark fragrances work great with black too.
I do this all the time. "What kind of man wears this fragrance?" is the first question I ask myself after I find one I like. Even if I love a fragrance, I may not buy it because it doesn't compliment my demeanor. Terre d'Hermes comes to mind. I think it's a masterpiece, but is too far outside my aesthetic to pull off.
Tip to remember: these scents also mix with your body chemistry as well. so it on paper vs on your skin can give off a completely different fragrance, ive used colognes that others would often dislike but it works well with me. so keep that in mind!
Yes and this is weirdly extremely true of niche more than regular mainline stuff or clones. You can spray a $400 niche scent on you and have it smell awful that a $35 clone is going to smell better just because its high end ingredients don't play well with your skin and body chemistry. Bonus points for your chemistry changing, when I was a youngboy retard and doing hella substances I was physically smelling different than I do now, that I didn't realize until more recently it wasn't just the reformulations or my shitty memory, but that my scent itself had been changing from no tobacco or alcohol so much that with the differences in age it made certain colognes I once loved smell like soapy ass. Although in retrospect smoking cigars, cloves, or cigarettes or hookah all the time will fuck up your sinus anyway and probably added to my overall scent. I really wonder if people living with 20 cats smell like catpiss and don't know it now. Or how much having a pack of dogs at home subtly is making you smell of dog and so that interplays with fragrance.
1st conclusion: several women liked or disliked these fragrances out of almost 4 billion women on the planet. 2nd Conclusion: wear what YOU like and not what you think others will like, especially for compliments. Don't be that guy. You're better than that.
Same here, it has never failed to get me a compliment. I've heard cologne scent mixes with your body chemistry though, so maybe that has something to do with it.
Production value of this video it's very good. Very different from most frag channels. Way more professional, and although i do appreciate the more raw/amateurish videos that sometimes feel more genuine, it's refreshing to see something like this (reactions still seem genuine) and I appreciate the effort that was put into this. Cheers
These types of vids are the best. Love how they describe the type of person the associate the scent with, and using every day words to describe the smells. It provides a much better profile of the smell than note breakdowns.
I know fragrances are subjective but this was still a bit confusing because most of the fragrances (with the exception of Fahrenheit) are not challenging fragrances at all. They are extremely safe and mass pleasing. I honestly doubt they will say some of those things if they smelled it on skin.
Exactly right get some good looking men to overspray and make them get close I bet the tune would be different based on skin heat ph balance and of course wether they found the man attractive or not.
100%! I’ve literally never heard negative things about Profumo or Y EDP EVER! The only scent on here that surprised me was Fahrenheit. Most females likely hate that fragrance and say it smells like gasoline. Would love to hear their take on some of the LV fragrances. I don’t think anyone could possibly dislike L’Immensite, Imagination or Meteore.
@@itsmnelson I've heard a shit ton of negative for profumo although it does get alot of love. I use to enjoy profumo, had 300 ML of at one point, sold it all. Not my mind of scent, dislike it
I can say that I have sprayed fragrances on a test strip and my Wife has said it smells terrible. Later on that day, I walk passed her and she’s like “Omg babe, what cologne you have on, it’s smells hella good!!??” I’m like “That terrible one from earlier I let you smell 😂” Love this channel by the way! Diff than the rest!
This happens to me to! There are a few things going on here too. 1: I think preferences are so malleable. They can change overtime and even over night. 2: occasions matter. Some fragrances smell much better at certain times of day or in certain seasons or certain contexts like formal, casual, or date. 3. Body chemistry makes the test strip almost irrelevant. Because a lot of the notes will interact with your skin in interesting ways. 4: body chemistry makes some fragrances smell great and others not. 5: context matters. Some fragrances are best pulled off in conjunction with the wearer. Some guys can really pull of Aqua Di Gio (first one in the vid). You have to have confidence and be a professional like if you’re rocking a suit, that goes well there. 6: context matters for the smeller as much as the wearer. Maybe she was not in a playful mood. Maybe that seductive scent wasn’t working for her when she’s had a long day. Maybe she’s had bad experiences with guys that wear citrusy colognes. Who knows! Point is there are so many factors that influence how we all respond to a scent. Some scents are more versatile and crowd pleasing (think Blue de channel). Some scents are undoubtedly higher quality. But everyone will respond differently to different scents. Find one that works for your body and your style.
It's not just your skin, but probably the dry-down that changed her mind. Some fragrances smell better after they've settled into their heart and base notes. Also, certain fragrances do better wafting in the air (sillage) vs smelling it right up into your nose. The air around us has ions that can change the chemistry, which will eventually alter the way a scent is perceived. A perfume will always be denser on first spray, but once dissipated into the air and bound to ions, the protein sequence activated in our nose receptors changes dramatically. The amount of mucous in the nose, the amount of ozone in the air, the amount of oils in the skin, etc. are some other components that can impact how we perceive smells.
One of the biggest mistakes I've made in the past is buying/not buying a fragrance based on how it smells on the test strip. You must smell the fragrance on skin and in the air to get a clear sense of the way it smells on you. There are a couple of fragrances I own that I want to trade or sell because I bought them after testing on the strip and not skin .
I like how you seem to be listening to feedback and keep tweaking things with these videos! This one was the best yet for several reasons. I'm sure you're giving some tips on those frequent guests on how to not just say "I don't like it" 😂
It's good because of her.:) Tressa is the only one on the intrnet who has taste. She grew out of candy scents, unlike others, and she is ready to smell the world. :)
It is astonishing to see how 1 person loves a certain fragrance &the next person hates it . This just goes to show how unique each & every human being is.. as usual an amazing video... Love y'all .. peace ☮️😎
It's amazing how everyone's taste is different and it's nice to get different people's opinion on fragrances. From this list, YSL Y EDP and Prada Black have gotten me the most amount of compliments. Keep up the great content guys!
Yeah, ysl y edp is about right, it's the most people pleasing blue fresh fragrance I can think of, especially with its huge projection radius and longevity, Its one of the few fragrances I never spray more 3 times, or you'll just choke everyone with its fresh, spicy and slight sweetness. Ps, it's definitely a bang for your buck
Damned I wasn’t aware and I’ve been wearing it a lot since the weather cooled. Maybe I’ll give it little break. To me there’s something unique and interesting about Prada black.
I’m thinking of owning only Bleu EDP & Prada Black in my collection (just starting out) are they different enough to justify this? Bleu EDP -> Casual Prada Black -> Date/Occasion
@@jasonyoung9329 exactly how I use them lol. Very different to justify. Just hope you’re able to locate the Prada one cause it has been discontinued for a while now.
She smelled cinnamon in Luna Rossa Black???? 😂😂 8:18 I think her reaction for Luna Rossa was switched with Hugo Boss Intense? Each description sounds like they belong to the other one. In fact, I think Tressa's might have been switched as well!
No one else really has this same content, so 10/10 for creativity. It's also super informative. My favorite review, paraphrased: "This is a cologne your aunt gets you, to try and up your dating game. But it's just a miss".
I wear what I like and what I enjoy; today I wore Stronger With You Absolutely. However, it's pretty amazing to see how everyone perceives fragrances and their notes differently, how varied their experiences and opinions are and the narrative they build in their minds with how the fragrance effects them. Great video Baldassarre Fragrance.
I think it's been reformulated too much for the infamous gasoline smell to even exist anymore. I smelled it when it first dropped and was blown away! It smelled like a sexy mechanic to me at the time lol but I've not smelled it in over a decade.
I love how fragrances are really capsules of stories, and when you come in contact with them, the story immediately bursts within you and you know it's ending.
7:26 One says it smells like something she would clean with, and the next girl just loves how the same fragrance smells. Thank you for these videos, they really show that choosing your fragrances based on what people like is a lost cause, as people can have very very opposing opinions regarding the same smell. Also, to further prove my point, I loved that one girl that somehow smelled cinnamon in CH Men Prive, lol
Of these I have Y edp & Profumo. When I first tried Y I expected it to be fantastic as it's very highly rated but I wasn't blown away, it's grown on me though and I'll probably buy another bottle when it runs out. I don't think I'll buy another bottle of Profumo though. Some reviewers love it with a passion but I think it's just ok.
Ysl is really overrated, not a bad scent but I always say it smells cheap and too synthetic. You often get that when it's too sharp on the nose and the ingredients don't smell natural or high quality. Nautica voyage had the same problem, jimmy choo man ice and dior sauvage had the same problem, calvin klein defy had that problem, etc..I love them all though just nitpicking like attention to details. Bleu de chanel and D&G light blue forever really managed to create extremely natural fresh fragrances you smell them and know they're great quality immediately...As for aqua di gio just buy the original, since profondo has a weird green note that smells kinda off and profumo has incense and bit weird vibe the original Aqua di gio still the best
@@GrowingDownUnder and for profondo I think the bitter orange note kinda holds it back from it being truly great, maybe if they replaced it with another note then I think it'd be the best of the ADG line
I suggest trying Aqua Di Gio Absolut. A few weeks ago, I tested Y on one arm and ADG Absolut on the other. The openings are fresh on both, but on the dry-down, the Absolut is nice and sweet..very likable to me. The Y dry-down was drab...didn't like it. It was easy to tell the difference, comparing one arm to the other.
I'm sure we all know the person wearing the fragrance is about 90% of a factor. I could be wearing the most popular scent and people wouldn't think much of it, but if a Greek god of a model would be wearing the most hated one, he'd be praised for smelling amazing. That being said, I know most of us here perked up when "this is husband material" was said about Luna Rossa Black. Let me go dust that one off real quick...
Teddy and Courtney, I can’t believe I’ve only discovered this channel now! What a great collaboration! You both produce terrific videos, and I’m looking forward to more from this channel. All the best!
I went to a local retail and tested a lot of these types of fragrances a week back (Luna Rossa, CK One, Acqua di Gio, Eros, Men in black...). I must say, Yves Saint Laurent Y Eau de Parfum was my favorite by far, like it's not even close. It's a masterpiece and I'm glad it got recognigtion by the women here.
I am shocked by how much they charge at some retail, and it's even worse at like CVS. I've seen basic stuff like Code EDT going for $79 and it's not even a 4.2, I mean just the 2.5 oz bottle they charging that much for, and the same across the board. I was shocked how much Burberry Touch cost. The one nice thing is they at least have testers. I wonder how many young boys tried going out on dates by just using the tester in Sephora, although I'm coming to realize, you'd probably needed to have sisters and/or female friends in high school for that to occur to you. Or if you had the internet back then and can look for tips online of what to do if you're a broke dude student trying your best.
Love these videos y'all! What would help is if you included the concentration like the first one it appears to be Y EDP and not EDT. Then Dior Fahrenheit I'm assuming it's the EDT and not EDP.
You can just look at the bottle... Y edt is very pale, this one is clearly edp. Fahrenheit Le Parfum has a completely different bottle, short and chunky. And Fahrenheit flanker have all some weird colors or inscriptions
@@alejandroxan hmm, didn't know there could be an average Joe following a chanel like this:) but yeah, for people like that it would be helpful I suppose, you're right.
The only chick who didn't like ysl edp is the odd on out of the bunch well tbh you're never going to smell a fragrance on someone up close on there neck or skin, like how she smelled it on the tester strip. Most likely you're going to get a wiffs from someone and the strong performance is what gets people attention and why it gets lots compliments.
It's mass appealing but lacks character, a good signature scent I think you will like is D&G K...it smells like what YSL should've done and it has a lot of character and smells unique, but still has similar smell to YSL Y
Can you try this once: have them smell the fragrance from two sources: once from a paper strip and another from their own arm or other body part to see if the scent varies..
Great selection. They have to smell ADP on skin. Yeah it starts off green but the incense rounds it out better in the dry down. Mature masculine fresh scent that really does smell good off my skin. Spring n Summer only though.
Fairly sophisticated opinions! I wear YSL Y in my rotation and it gets me regular compliments. Even when it doesn’t get explicit compliments, I can tell that people smell it and like it!
In my country we have a saying "Matter of taste - said the monkey after taking its finger out of its ass and licking it", to me personally ADG Profumo smells like the tip of a marker, it was interesting to see that other people don't like it too considering it's a very hyped fragrance by fragrance youtubers.
It's interesting to see how different opinions are given to one scent and with each scents personal thoughts continued to differ. I guess this just proves it's you who should test the fragrance without looking back on other's experience
Hugo Boss Bottled Intense is a great fragrance. It's not offensive but not an attention seeker either. It smells exclusive. I purchased 3 bottles prior to its discontinuation. Almost finished half of the first bottle because I really love it.
I got YSL Y nd one day I went to Zambrero. One married women with kids looked at me and smiled. When I leave that shop I heard that women said to the one staff girl. "He smells so nice"
That editing choice was hilarious. Girl 1: "This smells like horse s**t" Girl 2: "Yeah. I could snuggle up into this." That has to be intentional because that was comedic gold. Well done, and great content.
Teddy if you read this please keep uploading to this channel! Just recently got into fragrances and have been following your main channel for years. Subbed to this one immediately and bummed to see you haven’t uploaded recently!
Super weird that out of my 43 fragrances ADG Profumo is actually the only one that has gotten me compliments, literally the only one, and I’m talking unsolicited compliments. They get closer and ask me what I’m wearing, or when I say “hi” and hug them they hug for a little longer and say how good I smell. If it wasn’t for Profumo I wouldn’t believe in women complimenting men’s fragrances
Perfect video, very interesting to see the different opinions, I would love to see a marly video, maybe 🤔 Layton, percival, Galloway, Carlise, Herod, Sedley, 😃
YSL Y always works for me. I think I may just stop trying to pick my own new scents and just listen to Tressa's advice. Again, it seems we have a very similar nose to fragrance.
The thing is, fragrances smelled directly up your nose from a tester strip are wayyyy different than the sillage in the air. The sillage is what matters, ultimately
I find these reviews much less useful and uninformative compared to random street polls done by other reviewers. In the street polls the women are asked to "briefly" rank fragrance on a scale of 1 to 10 and would they like to smell it on their boyfriend or husband and what they like or dislike about it. Those reviews seem much more authentic and honest. Here the women are sat down and offered to give an opinion on what kind of man do they see wearing that fragrance etc. Unfortunately the results you get seem overly expressive and sometimes obnoxious as if these women are putting on a performance and auditioning for an acting role instead of giving a simple honest opinion. As a result the only time I find these useful is if the majority of them agree to like or dislike a particular fragrance (e.g. when they all pretty much despised Red Tobacco and Versace The Dreamer).
Don't get me wrong I still watch these but I find them less informative and sometimes frustrating to watch. That being said ... I am occasionally surprised and intrigued when you see a fragrance heavily hyped by RUclips reviewers is (dis)liked by majority of these women (e.g. heavily hyped Red Tobacco was hated by all).
Still struggling to understand the love affair with YSL Y EDP. I own it... but never wear it. It's just overwheming synthetic fuzzy sweetness. I get static vibes.
Profumo is one of the best out there and gets compliments from most women when I wear it. LeMale is the same way. Hugo Boss Bottled Intense the same. Where did these women come from? Pretty hopeless. None of them like anything. Don’t care what they think. I’ll bet if Brad Pitt were wearing LeMale they would love it.
@@aw_shucks17 if I cared what others thought I wouldn’t have many fragrances. This group doesn’t represent the opinions of the bulk of women I’ve watched on these comparison videos and I’ve watched a ton of them.
I hope people finally understand that there is no "best" perfume. There will always be people who dislike it or hate it no matter if its a 20$ perfume or a 400$ one. So buy and wear the one you like.
I have gotten an opinion of a fragrance from my wife and daughter and then asked about the same scent a few days later and gotten different feedback.
Foreal. Lemale is bomb. Do ultra male next. The sexier version
@@DaTr3w or le male le parfum. Totally different
True but y ysl is a masterpiece no matter what
@@kibekaranja to me Y EdP smells kind of like "meh". Tried to wear it multiple times, but nah. Y Parfum has a bit more character though. But since Y EdP has so many followers it clearly has to be doing at least something right:)
Interesting how they anthropomorphize each scent and psychologically project their motivations, desires and insecurities onto a fragrance.
Very interesting comment, I agree. It seems almost like a psychotherapy session.
“I want to meet the guy who wears this”… You mean, like all 1,000,000 of them?
It is very interesting that's what makes this series so special. It's such a different take on scents by people who are not fragrance collectors or enthusiasts.
I created something called Multi-sensory fashion...basically you're right though every colour and scent we unconsciously or consciously associate with certain things whether it's weather, jobs, memories, personalites, foods, plants, colours, etc...Every scent is going to trigger some psychological association with a person. Here's an example what colour do you think lemon smells like? you'll probably say yellow...correct. Citrus fragrances go great with yellow clothes...but you'll probably also associate yellow with the sun and sunny days so want something great for summer. And you may also associate water with the colour blue and aquatic fragrances go great with blue clothes. That's the idea of multi-sensory fashion...another example is wood>brown...trees>green...pepper>black...roses>red...vanilla>white...the exception here may be that red and blue can also mean hot/cold or red may be symbolism of romantic & love good to wear those sexy date night fragrances. Black is also bold and strong, maybe dark or masculine so those bold, strong, masculine, dark fragrances work great with black too.
I do this all the time. "What kind of man wears this fragrance?" is the first question I ask myself after I find one I like. Even if I love a fragrance, I may not buy it because it doesn't compliment my demeanor.
Terre d'Hermes comes to mind. I think it's a masterpiece, but is too far outside my aesthetic to pull off.
Tip to remember: these scents also mix with your body chemistry as well. so it on paper vs on your skin can give off a completely different fragrance, ive used colognes that others would often dislike but it works well with me. so keep that in mind!
Yes! I’ve also noticed it also smelled differently between each person in a subtle way.
Exactly i said that on a few RUclips channels it’s not rocket science it’s has to die down alittle and hope it likes your body chemistry 🤷🏽♂️
Yes and this is weirdly extremely true of niche more than regular mainline stuff or clones. You can spray a $400 niche scent on you and have it smell awful that a $35 clone is going to smell better just because its high end ingredients don't play well with your skin and body chemistry.

Just don’t wear the one that smells like horse sh!t. 🤣🤣🤣
I think he means don’t be a people pleaser
We do wanna impress others
The whole point of a perfume is to entice others to yourself.
I've received waaaaaaaay more compliments for Armani Aqua Di Gio Profumo than I care to imagine. Weird that these women weren't really feeling it.😅😅
I am stunned too
Same here, it has never failed to get me a compliment. I've heard cologne scent mixes with your body chemistry though, so maybe that has something to do with it.
How many sprays do you do each time?
Probably because you wear it most of the time than other fragrances.
@@Manul23392 true. It's my favourite.

Can you do one for niche... Aventus, Layton, Elysium, Side Effect etc.
No one else really has this same content, so 10/10 for creativity. It's also super informative. My favorite review, paraphrased: "This is a cologne your aunt gets you, to try and up your dating game. But it's just a miss".
She got creativity.
I wear what I like and what I enjoy; today I wore Stronger With You Absolutely. However, it's pretty amazing to see how everyone perceives fragrances and their notes differently, how varied their experiences and opinions are and the narrative they build in their minds with how the fragrance effects them. Great video Baldassarre Fragrance.
Banger selection. Surprised no one picked up gasoline from Fahrenheit 😂
I heard it smells like gas and rubber
I think it's been reformulated too much for the infamous gasoline smell to even exist anymore. I smelled it when it first dropped and was blown away! It smelled like a sexy mechanic to me at the time lol but I've not smelled it in over a decade.
Smells like chainsaw fumes. It is the equivalent of ripped jeans. You don't do physical work, but want to look/smell like it.
I remember the first time I smelt Profumo on a strip and thought it sucked. But when i sprayed it on it was phenomenal
I love how fragrances are really capsules of stories, and when you come in contact with them, the story immediately bursts within you and you know it's ending.
The reactions to ADG Profumo surprised me. I think it's one the best male fragrances ever made and I've never met anyone who actively disliked it.
Out of all my collection perry Ellis 360 red still gets the most compliments and it’s basically an adg clone
I really love these honest and refreshing opinions! That is what makes this channel so different!
7:26 One says it smells like something she would clean with, and the next girl just loves how the same fragrance smells. Thank you for these videos, they really show that choosing your fragrances based on what people like is a lost cause, as people can have very very opposing opinions regarding the same smell.
Also, to further prove my point, I loved that one girl that somehow smelled cinnamon in CH Men Prive, lol
Of these I have Y edp & Profumo. When I first tried Y I expected it to be fantastic as it's very highly rated but I wasn't blown away, it's grown on me though and I'll probably buy another bottle when it runs out. I don't think I'll buy another bottle of Profumo though. Some reviewers love it with a passion but I think it's just ok.
Ysl is really overrated, not a bad scent but I always say it smells cheap and too synthetic. You often get that when it's too sharp on the nose and the ingredients don't smell natural or high quality. Nautica voyage had the same problem, jimmy choo man ice and dior sauvage had the same problem, calvin klein defy had that problem, etc..I love them all though just nitpicking like attention to details. Bleu de chanel and D&G light blue forever really managed to create extremely natural fresh fragrances you smell them and know they're great quality immediately...As for aqua di gio just buy the original, since profondo has a weird green note that smells kinda off and profumo has incense and bit weird vibe the original Aqua di gio still the best
profumo is the most overrated fragrance out there, even more than eros
@@GrowingDownUnder buy the edp instead since it just came out this year, so there's no need to get the og anymore
@@GrowingDownUnder and for profondo I think the bitter orange note kinda holds it back from it being truly great, maybe if they replaced it with another note then I think it'd be the best of the ADG line
I suggest trying Aqua Di Gio Absolut. A few weeks ago, I tested Y on one arm and ADG Absolut on the other. The openings are fresh on both, but on the dry-down, the Absolut is nice and sweet..very likable to me. The Y dry-down was drab...didn't like it. It was easy to tell the difference, comparing one arm to the other.
I'm sure we all know the person wearing the fragrance is about 90% of a factor. I could be wearing the most popular scent and people wouldn't think much of it, but if a Greek god of a model would be wearing the most hated one, he'd be praised for smelling amazing.
That being said, I know most of us here perked up when "this is husband material" was said about Luna Rossa Black. Let me go dust that one off real quick...
Haha so true
Aaaa Mennn
exactly
Honestly it goes with ur body type n how it blends with ur sweat
@Ta-Kuan Fuan Just curious since I also love sweet and fresh scents, what are you wearing?
Teddy and Courtney, I can’t believe I’ve only discovered this channel now! What a great collaboration! You both produce terrific videos, and I’m looking forward to more from this channel. All the best!
So, basically, it’s all subjective and it just depends on the chik
That why buy the one that works for your body chemistry. You will attract the right person for you. (Be yourself don't copy someone else)
The chick with the Band-Aid on her finger is hilarious, 10/10 support her coming back for more reviews haha
They completely destroyed my signature scent „Aqua di Giò Profumo“😂
Yes. I was so shocked. 😁
Doesnt seem to work well on paper. They should test these on skin and see what they think about then.
Just bought it. And my coworkers loved it! Massive compliment getter than my Ultramale and CDNIM
To be honset i was intrested in it. They drove me away
@@mmmikko you're right. My friend didn't like Profumo on paper, but she absolutely love it on me when I wear it.
Great video! Which YSL Y perfume did you feature? The first one or Eau de Parfum?
I went to a local retail and tested a lot of these types of fragrances a week back (Luna Rossa, CK One, Acqua di Gio, Eros, Men in black...).
I must say, Yves Saint Laurent Y Eau de Parfum was my favorite by far, like it's not even close. It's a masterpiece and I'm glad it got recognigtion by the women here.
I am shocked by how much they charge at some retail, and it's even worse at like CVS. I've seen basic stuff like Code EDT going for $79 and it's not even a 4.2, I mean just the 2.5 oz bottle they charging that much for, and the same across the board. I was shocked how much Burberry Touch cost. The one nice thing is they at least have testers.
I wonder how many young boys tried going out on dates by just using the tester in Sephora, although I'm coming to realize, you'd probably needed to have sisters and/or female friends in high school for that to occur to you. Or if you had the internet back then and can look for tips online of what to do if you're a broke dude student trying your best.
I get a lot of compliments with YSL Y. Highly recommended and bonus it's a all-year scent.
Yeah, I see a trend with YSL Y-Don't think you can really go wrong with it.
Is it more of a scent better smelled from afar or up close or both?
Better smelled from far, the sillage is heavenly. Up close, it's synthetic. I love it tho
Love these videos y'all! What would help is if you included the concentration like the first one it appears to be Y EDP and not EDT. Then Dior Fahrenheit I'm assuming it's the EDT and not EDP.
You can just look at the bottle... Y edt is very pale, this one is clearly edp. Fahrenheit Le Parfum has a completely different bottle, short and chunky. And Fahrenheit flanker have all some weird colors or inscriptions
@@Warland3r the average Joe watching this might not know.
@@alejandroxan hmm, didn't know there could be an average Joe following a chanel like this:) but yeah, for people like that it would be helpful I suppose, you're right.
Which version of YSL Y is it?
Really good video. This definitely shows that no perfume is 100% loved or hated. It’s up to the person wearing it and their story.
The only chick who didn't like ysl edp is the odd on out of the bunch well tbh you're never going to smell a fragrance on someone up close on there neck or skin, like how she smelled it on the tester strip. Most likely you're going to get a wiffs from someone and the strong performance is what gets people attention and why it gets lots compliments.
YSL Y EDP would be my signature scent if I got rid of my whole collection 👌🏽🔥
Certainly a safe choice. Seemed to be enjoyed by participants in this.
Eau Fraiche is one of my favorites
Yup i always say its king of compliments
It's mass appealing but lacks character, a good signature scent I think you will like is D&G K...it smells like what YSL should've done and it has a lot of character and smells unique, but still has similar smell to YSL Y
YSL is an amazing line. Really quality stuff they put out regardless if it’s linear🔥
11:43 - You are talking about me. PLRB is my go to fragrance but when I'm trying hard to impress someone I'm going with YSL Y haha
Can you try this once: have them smell the fragrance from two sources: once from a paper strip and another from their own arm or other body part to see if the scent varies..
Fascinating. The sense of smell is so complex, unique to our memories & world view, just really interesting to see the differences.
These are hilarious. Men, wear what you like.
Very, very good guys!! I just recently purchased YSL Y and loved it!! Cheers
Surprised by the Y EDP reaction. To my nose it smells very youthful. It has an innocence to it. Hard to imagine a savy businessman wearing it.
Yeah profumo for a businessman maybe
Facts Smells like a scent a guy in college would wear 😂
Great selection. They have to smell ADP on skin. Yeah it starts off green but the incense rounds it out better in the dry down. Mature masculine fresh scent that really does smell good off my skin. Spring n Summer only though.
Yeah YSL Y is my most complimented fragrance I own.
People love it.
im so happy you posted another one of these vids I've been waiting :p these make my week
Fairly sophisticated opinions! I wear YSL Y in my rotation and it gets me regular compliments. Even when it doesn’t get explicit compliments, I can tell that people smell it and like it!
It’s easily one of my highest complimented fragrances.
I wear it really often and it gets me compliments literally everytime🤟
how many sprays you do
Luna Rossa Black Prada heavy cinnamon? people say interesting things, funny enough followed with a cinnamon fragrance and didnt notice it.
Kinda shocked that profumo got no love
In my country we have a saying "Matter of taste - said the monkey after taking its finger out of its ass and licking it", to me personally ADG Profumo smells like the tip of a marker, it was interesting to see that other people don't like it too considering it's a very hyped fragrance by fragrance youtubers.
Frankly Speaking profumo ain't that good compared to other perfumes in the market it's boring, expensive and that incense is not everyone's thing.
I don't like it. It smells like crap to me. I never understood the hype. It's like root beer wooded crap.
Jean paul gautier is probably the most complimented cologne I've worn
More of these with more fragrances. The lovely ladies, their honest reactions, all great stuff.
Been loving your videos. I would love to see a reactions video including some parfums de marley fragrances: Percival, Layton, Herod, Sedley...etc.
It's interesting to see how different opinions are given to one scent and with each scents personal thoughts continued to differ. I guess this just proves it's you who should test the fragrance without looking back on other's experience
More videos like this, this series became my favourite!
I have never ever failed to get a compliment with Profumo, it's been my go to for big events for several years now.
haha I like how Tressa just perfectly described Jeremy Fragrance there at the end
Bahahahahahaha that was spot on! power
I immediately thought watches when I saw Teddy and now he’s making videos on another interest of mine! Sweet!!
Hugo Boss Bottled Intense is a great fragrance. It's not offensive but not an attention seeker either. It smells exclusive. I purchased 3 bottles prior to its discontinuation. Almost finished half of the first bottle because I really love it.
I love their descriptions. Great video!
I really like that girls pink leather jacket, and I was recently gifted ysl y le parfum, it smells really classy
You have to do the top 2 of all these videos combined, nautica voyage,blue,coach for men, YSL Y, etc
Tressa needs her own show. She’s hilarious.
I got YSL Y nd one day I went to Zambrero. One married women with kids looked at me and smiled. When I leave that shop I heard that women said to the one staff girl. "He smells so nice"
I’m happy to see Tressa again. Always include her as a participant in these reviews, please!
She knows her shit cuz she described every single frag to the T! Also love her fiestiness.
Dior Fahrenheit has to be one of my fav scents along with ysl kouros I’ve bout mutiple bottles of those two
That editing choice was hilarious.
Girl 1: "This smells like horse s**t"
Girl 2: "Yeah. I could snuggle up into this."
That has to be intentional because that was comedic gold. Well done, and great content.
Teddy if you read this please keep uploading to this channel! Just recently got into fragrances and have been following your main channel for years. Subbed to this one immediately and bummed to see you haven’t uploaded recently!
Okay but which version of Y?
Edp
Aqua Di Gio is my go too, but I think it comes down to how it works with your natural scent
I just bought the YSL Y yesterday on a whim, seems like I made a good choice. 😊
Me to lol yesterday
GYAATTTT!! SHAWTY CAN TAKE MY SOUL FRRRR
I feel personally attacked. Le Male is my all time favourite
I really enjoyed this format. Thanks for putting this video together. 👍
Tressa is 🔥.. just saying!
Super weird that out of my 43 fragrances ADG Profumo is actually the only one that has gotten me compliments, literally the only one, and I’m talking unsolicited compliments. They get closer and ask me what I’m wearing, or when I say “hi” and hug them they hug for a little longer and say how good I smell. If it wasn’t for Profumo I wouldn’t believe in women complimenting men’s fragrances
Do you wear the EDP or EDT? Huge difference.
YSL Y edp is cloying with synthetic syrupy apple.
i agree. it smells nice but there's something about sweet frags which turns my stomach. same with D&G The One
Yea it’s too sweet for a blue fragrance 🗑 imo
Perfect video, very interesting to see the different opinions, I would love to see a marly video, maybe 🤔 Layton, percival, Galloway, Carlise, Herod, Sedley, 😃
YSL Y always works for me. I think I may just stop trying to pick my own new scents and just listen to Tressa's advice. Again, it seems we have a very similar nose to fragrance.
Loved the variety of reactions.
That’s funny, the chick that said YSL was basic… no honey, you’re basic 😹
I´ve just bought an 100ml YSL Y EDP today... I feel that i´ve made a good desicion haha, good video
The ladies picking Y as their favorite and Fahrenheit as their least favorite are the right people.
Hugo Boss bottled intense no longer available 😢
bruh HOW did these girls my boy Dior like that?😂 Horseshit??!! A lumberjack???!
yeah and that one chick said that it smells like shoes😆 like wtf she mean? smells like rubber? leather? or smells like foot?🤣
The thing is, fragrances smelled directly up your nose from a tester strip are wayyyy different than the sillage in the air. The sillage is what matters, ultimately
I find these reviews much less useful and uninformative compared to random street polls done by other reviewers. In the street polls the women are asked to "briefly" rank fragrance on a scale of 1 to 10 and would they like to smell it on their boyfriend or husband and what they like or dislike about it. Those reviews seem much more authentic and honest.
Here the women are sat down and offered to give an opinion on what kind of man do they see wearing that fragrance etc. Unfortunately the results you get seem overly expressive and sometimes obnoxious as if these women are putting on a performance and auditioning for an acting role instead of giving a simple honest opinion. As a result the only time I find these useful is if the majority of them agree to like or dislike a particular fragrance (e.g. when they all pretty much despised Red Tobacco and Versace The Dreamer).
I disagree, people on the street are more likely to say positive things about the fragrances before walking away
I agree about them amping up their performance, but I still find these interesting.
I totally agree with you.
Don't get me wrong I still watch these but I find them less informative and sometimes frustrating to watch. That being said ... I am occasionally surprised and intrigued when you see a fragrance heavily hyped by RUclips reviewers is (dis)liked by majority of these women (e.g. heavily hyped Red Tobacco was hated by all).
Did they get the order right? I feel like the cashmeoutside girl was off by a lot
please don't let them review anything! it's like they don't have a normal nose wtf
Still struggling to understand the love affair with YSL Y EDP. I own it... but never wear it. It's just overwheming synthetic fuzzy sweetness. I get static vibes.
Give Tressa her own show.
i was WAITING on ur next upload !!
Profumo is one of the best out there and gets compliments from most women when I wear it.
LeMale is the same way. Hugo Boss Bottled Intense the same.
Where did these women come from? Pretty hopeless. None of them like anything.
Don’t care what they think.
I’ll bet if Brad Pitt were wearing LeMale they would love it.
if ya commented ya care my boy
@@aw_shucks17 if I cared what others thought I wouldn’t have many fragrances.
This group doesn’t represent the opinions of the bulk of women I’ve watched on these comparison videos and I’ve watched a ton of them.
