Definitely part 8! You may need to make this just a standard part of the channel!🙂 really like the recommendations. Really hoping to try the OUD bleu intense!
This format, this is exactly what I want from fragrance youtube, some cool recommendations of new stuff to try and explore with a point of reference to give me an idea of whether it will appeal to me or not. Thanks man
Man, I used to watch you when you had below 20k subs. I was buying way too many scents so I took a break. I am so happy to see that you blew past 100k.
It is amazing 😍 It’s popular for a reason. Probably the most versatile men’s scent imo. I’m pretty new but out of the 30 or so I’ve tried, all different brands and notes it’s extremely well rounded. Has citrus and deep sophisticated. Signature worthy. But try it before you buy as always! Some prefer the EdP. It doesn’t have as much depth or last as long
Alexandria 2 has been my personal favorite for years, it still is. The interesting thing is that you described it as powdery, smooth and woody... To me it also smells woody, not powdery nor smooth - but more like a rough, in your face attention grabber 😁 But most importantly - it smells great!
Your perspective is always mature (ish), probing and sincerely enjoyed. I don’t always agree with you, but I am always listening and I am grateful for that. Thank you and keep it rolling.
Absolutely loved Luna Rossa Ocean Le Parfum, at first I didn’t liked it at all, but the second time I smelled it was completely amazing for me. The saffron and the oak make them so elegant to wear
Oud bleu intense is a great scent, smells more Golden to me, would be a perfect wedding scent💯, Luna rossa ocean parfum really surprised me, absolutely love the saffron in there.
They had a "buy 200$ worth of giftcards and get 40$ star money" promo, stacked that with the 15% friends and family discount, insane deal on anything chanel if you ever catch this type of deal from macys
Feeling like I almost get defensive anytime anyone suggests anything over Alexandria 2 because of how much of a masterpiece it truly is. With that said, going with your theme of suggesting scents that can fill a similar space I recently got my nose on Dries Van Noten's new drop "Camomile Satin." This one does smell similar to A.2 but in a fresher less oud-y/animalic kind of way. I think the animalic qualities of A2 are incredibly refined but if you ever wanting the vibe of A2 buy dont find your self in the mood for something so bold than Camomile Satin is where its at. It was my first exposure to the brand and boy was I impressed 👍🏾
I have both Most Wanted Parfum & Ocean Le Parfum. Same scent profile mainly sweet with touches of freshness but with different notes MW on the vanilla side with a more brisk opening and Ocean LP more amber based with just a touch of freshness in the opening but a much heavier scent to my nose
Appreciate you don’t like the cost but Santalamore costs 128 pounds. Which is about 160 dollars. And uses real Indian sandalwood essential oil and real white ambergris tincture, I just point out the two most expensive naturals In the formula, in high concentrations, in a 20% formula. You will struggle to find any brand that can offer that less expensive. The pricing is excellent for the quality. The genuine ambergris in Santalamore is the finest grade ambergris, and gives it a musky dry down that lasts on most people 12 hours, it’s an excellent fixative. The pricing is extremely fair for a small independent brand, using high quality naturals. I fully stand by the pricing, I don’t over charge like many brands do.
It’s got real Ambergris in it!!!! Have you any idea how expensive that is?! Sometimes you get what you pay for, & this is definitely the case with Centauri Perfumes.
@@FragranceViewgreat explanation! Are you all thinking of doing a 5 ml size? I love these smaller niche houses and it helps me when you all offer a 5 or 8 ml. I found one in Romania and I was able to use alot of it on a trip I had. (Delizia Oscura ~Calaj).
So about Herod... Recently, I bought a bottle of 75 ml. Great smell, not the beast performance I remembered from way ago, but it was a new bottle and it was above average. So far so good. But then I saw a 125ml bottle for a great price at the same online store. I pulled the trigger and passed the smaller guy on to a friend. I was not prepared for what came in the post. The juice from the bigger bottle has absolutely atrocious performance. I mean, it might be on par or even worse than Gypsy Water. The bottle is legit, I could swear on that. It smells the same up close, it just becomes a skin scent after half an hour a disappears completely within a few. After having used up two samples in the past and even trying out a recent bottle, I know it's not a problem with my skin and I doubt the fragrance will get better in time by about 300 %. So for the past month I've been deliberating my next steps. Do I write a strongly worded email to PdM or return it to the seller? This really pi**es me off because I still love the smell... Sorry for this, I had to vent it somewhere. 😡 Other than that, great content as always, Justin. You're really one of the best fragrance youtubers out there. 👍
It's always good to see a notification that Justin has uploaded!
Thank you!

It's so good!

Thanks so much for sticking around!
As a Chinese, I could assure you that you pronounced Tian Di perfectly!
Thank you!
Love this series, dare I say it needs a part 8
I've been wanting to try BDC parfum. I'll definitely check it out now. I trust your judgement. Thanks Justin!

Just watching this wearing FDB Oud bleu intense and yay it's listed! I love it and it's one of the nice ones from the house!
Absolutely loved Luna Rossa Ocean Le Parfum, at first I didn’t liked it at all, but the second time I smelled it was completely amazing for me. The saffron and the oak make them so elegant to wear
Great video! I tried Oud blue intense and i still choose Bleu Parfum over that one.
Keep this series going Justin. I look forward to part 8!
Nice step up in production value 👌🏼
Appreciate it!
Best fragrance series on RUclips
Thank you
This is really late Justin . But congratulations to you, and Grace for your upcoming parenthood . Also Merry Christmas . 🌲👍🏾
Thanks! We're super excited.
@@stayfreshproductionsI believe you’ll b a great dad. I pray for u and Grace.
Oud bleu intense is a great scent, smells more Golden to me, would be a perfect wedding scent💯, Luna rossa ocean parfum really surprised me, absolutely love the saffron in there.
Funny seeing Alexandria II after your horror stories video. Mine had to do with over spraying that before a college class 😬
I’ve been wearing ocean le parfum quite a bit lately in the colder weather and I’ve been loving it.
I can see why!
Just got a 150 ml BDC parfum for 165 after tax from macys last weekend 🔥🔥🔥 one of my favorites of all time, no hype, just pure class and elegance
They had a "buy 200$ worth of giftcards and get 40$ star money" promo, stacked that with the 15% friends and family discount, insane deal on anything chanel if you ever catch this type of deal from macys
Which one is that one ?
Tied with TLTG for my fav fragrance channel👌 Finally got my Pasha de Cartier Parfum today and damn is it amazinggg
Thank you 🙏🏾
9:00 - bro literally said "This is Oud 🤮 Intense" 😅😅
Lmao!!
Alexandria 2 was the most stanky stank stank ever on my skin. Had that old granny smell and boy did it project and silage 😑 was a monster
Lol!
@stayfreshproductions Thanks for the love and you rock sir 🎺

I saw BDC as part of this video and was hoping the alternative is Nishane Kredo; your insight on that will prove essential in me getting a bottle :)
I still need to try it!
Alexandria my favorite for cold days and oud bleu Intense my favorite for summer. Hate the prices, but u get them sometimes on sale
what batch is your Alex'2?

Hey Justine just wondering if you’ve ever tried principalities by Caeleste and if yes what are your initial thoughts on it
I haven’t!
Have you seen the Nicheend Universe brand? Some real nice stuff
I haven’t!
Is that your skyline now? Cool! Luna Rossa Carbon was a copy of sauvage?? Or Aventus?
Yeah I've been in this spot for a couple years! And Carbon takes after Sauvage
I was mixing Carbon up with MontBlanc which takes after Aventus. Nevermind me!
Still waiting for a Haltane Review 🙏🏼👀
Wholesome 10/10
Didn’t describe Santalamore that well to be honest as you didn’t mention the real ambergris is used that you smell in the dry down.. but never mind. X
It’s ok
Regalien Mystic - new Alexandria 2 :) and cheaper if someone wanna save some $
20 years later.... Welcome to part 3574!
Lol I hope not!
At this rate, this will be a weekly video. 😅 nice alternative picks.
Part 8
It's always disheartening to see someone browse without an adblocker.
It’s ok
Sorry to Fragranceview, but 170 for 30ml ill pass.
No need to apologize
