I've always said that😉. This is so true I've got most of the best bangers on the market and been collecting since the 80s and also work in an International Hotel so I'm around people from all over the world and I totally get the most response from my cheaper fragrances hands down and by that I mean really obviously...my wife's smelled everything I own on me and she loves when I wear CK shock....go figure 19$ for this big bottle and it doesn't last long but she frigging loves it on me but then its OK" let's go out for lobster 🤢
@@95TurboSol I would say that Explorer is it’s own fragrance and has it’s own qualities, but it definitely got that Aventus vibe to it. Not sure if that really answers your question though.
@@95TurboSol yeah kind of, its like aventus but without the pineapple, also with an ambroxan feel added to it. You recognise the aventus likeness but the ambroxan takes it in a different direction & makes it more mass appealing + adds a freshness that makes it suitable for any time any place. I have the Armaf CDNIM too & would recommend Explorer over that & Creed at the min.
WE NEED REVIEWS OF EVERY AVENTUS CLONE BY ATHENA. And please include Mercedes Benz Select. It is IMO one of the more underrated "Aventus-inspired" fragrances. Such a refreshing scent!
A guy was sitting next to me on a plane in Slovenia last year, he smelled fantastic! I asked him what he was wearing, he said: "Montblanc Explorer". Still need to pick that one up. Thanks guys!
Yes it’s very interesting to see the opinion of someone who is unbiased and outside of the fragrance community. Because she would represent the majority of people out there in the public.
It's always good to have someone that has no bias regarding brands and trends. And, as Sandi Williams has said, she is a doll, a very nice young lady. Congrats.
Great video Steven , love how your niece was so honest and not swayed by brands , bleu de Chanel is my pick , I’ve had 4 100ml bottles of Edt abs my fiancée has bought me 100ml parfum for Christmas so I’m really happy to be getting that
Athena was a fabulous guest, and most importantly, it was excellent to get the impression of a person who isn't in to fragrances and can give an honest point of view without any preconceptions. Thank you. Please invite Athena back soon for some more of her impressions on situational fragrances (best date, etc).
I used to wear Bleu de Chanel / Terre D'Hermes for office. And I have Montblanc Explorer but for out door only. Maybe I'll try to wear it to office next week.
Steven@ Thanks for this kind of episode with your niece Athina.She was really honest in her opinion as an amateurs in frag community. I've watched a lot of previous videos but never click the bell button for subscribe. Now I'm in kind of forced to subscribe, that's how much I liked it.So keep it up,Bro.
Another great video! Love your guest, Athena! She has an amazing smile! The kind of smile that lights up an entire room! She broke my heart when she gave one of my favorites, Profumo, a thumbs down! But that’s ok, I still enjoyed listening to her opinion. ☮️🖖🏽
That was a lot of fun to watch. Just starting my foray into fragrance and Mont Blanc Explorer was the first scent I purchased to wear in the office. It has been a big compliment getter.
Wow, your niece is gorgeous! You guys must be a good looking family ;) Glad she picked Explorer. Shows that you don't have to spend big to get good quality fragrances
Thanks for the video, Steven. Enjoyed seeing your nieces opinion on these. Would love to see another like this with a top 10 designer "date night" 😊 Have a good weekend!
Nothing beats an unbiased opinion! I love crowd pleasers as much as I love my “well I like it, what’s your problem!?” niche lol Solid video my man 🤩 Bring her back for more in the future 👍
OMG Steven!!!! Athena is soooo pretty!!! Hello pretty Athena! Nice to see you in this chanel! I'm using Sauvage and BDC the best for me!!! Explorer's problem is the longevity but the smell is good almost like the Aventus.
@@Redolessence Thank you for your awesome video Steven!!! We are having a blast here in the middle east right now as matter a fact!! ;-)) Have a great day too Steven!! More power to your channel! Stay safe and God bless everyone!!!!
Hello Steven, how are you? Great job on the video and list. Your Niece is adorable and cute. Thank you for that putting family in your heart and work. Stay safe brother
Catching up on my videos Steven and another good one, very cool to get your niece to rate these fragrances 👍🏾 . Thank you for doing this one and yes bring her back 😊
Explorer is absolutely spectacular. I had it in a sample when I bought another fragrance and I wrote it off after the first wear. But then I decided to try wearing it out. Maaaaaaaaan I went right back and got a bottle. It lasts literally all day and even into the next day if you spray it on a jacket or something. And it smells great.
Great video as usual, people been sleeping on Explorer but it's really good. Wish they make a stronger longer lasting version in the near future as thats the only downfall.
Thank you for the review Steven her choices and reasons on the points and simple thank you , also bring her back in the Chanel pls her honest opinion good simple
Steven you're fragrance world's Lionel Messi to me. It's pleasing watch your content and the way you present every topic it's captivating. Also you help me to polish my english skills by hearing your flawless oratory. Greetings from 🇦🇷
Well, she has made a wonderful choice. Would want to know her point in other fragance styles too. Nice to see the opinion from someone not in fragance fever yet.
Excellent video with a non bias opinion. Do you have any recommendation for a fragrance for work 50/50 outdoor/office that lasts the all day? My shifts are 12 hours long. Love ADG profumo, Chanel Allure homme sport eau extreme, Office for Men, Creed Aventus... But none lasts the 12 hours.
Shout Outs to Steven🐐always bringing great presentation/content!!!!! Ur niece has great taste....Explorer is ah BANGER I just wished it lasted a couple hours more longer on my skin. Til the next time "THUMBS UP"🥊🔔
Wow. I love an unbiased, independent, honest opinion. Also..."Athena" is such a wonderful name with strong etymology and association (I also have Greek family). How cool to see a young woman in 2020 with such a name!
@@Redolessence Thank you (to you both) for producing the content. Athena deserves the positive feedback and it'd be great to have her back! What I especially love with you Steven is that whether it's Athena or Carlos or someone else...you coax them into articulating their own opinion rather than leading them down a path that you predefine with leading questions. It's actually a really good skill to have and requires good emotional intelligence. Not everyone possesses it!
Question to the commentators, which do you prefer between Tres Nuit, Explorer and black walnut legend and why? I'm a huge fan of Aventus and it smells good on my skin so I'm looking for a similar but different fragrance to change it up.
Yes , please keep her since she is not from the world of fragrances , her opinion would be honest, waiting for another video about other categories. Greetings from Palestine
Enjoyed the video. I agree regular versace poure homme is better at the office. Which blue de channel was that ? I like the edp out of the three bdc fragrances. Fun video
Thanks for watching! I agree with you regarding the Versace Pour Homme. The Bleu de Chanel in this video is the EDT. I hope you're having a great week!
My favourite name! And so beautiful too. Very happy you didn't prime her Steven. No surprise with Legend though! But yeah....Aventus........yeeeeeeahhhhh....🙄 🤣 Wonderful to get Athena's take! Definitely have her back. Have a feeling that judging niche would be....interesting. 🤭
Mont Blanc Explorer is not bad at all. I like to put on Aventus and through out the day refresh with Explorer. 😤 It'll be nice if Mont Blanc gives us some creative flankers of this dna.
And this is what I like to see. The majority of people we're around don't care for notes. They really don't even care for fragrances lol. Either it smells good or it doesn't. Keep it simple. Thank you.
She is a doll and I love that she isn’t “into” fragrances because her opinions were so genuine.
Thank you, Sandi!
I absolutely love the fact that most of her picks were the more affordable choices. Proves once again that cheap doesn't always mean bad.
I agree!
I've always said that😉.

Love how raw and honest her opinions.
Same!
Redolessence please bring her back for the all time favorite fragrances. Thanks in advance. 😃
Yes definitely bring her back she is beautiful & has a great sense of smell
Thanks, Pat! Will do!
Bring her back.....her unbiased opinion is very refreshing....she picks based on scent not brand....love that
She's got good taste, I've been wearing explorer more than aventus at the min.
Awesome!

repeat with me: WE NEED ATHENA BACK
WE NEED REVIEWS OF EVERY AVENTUS CLONE BY ATHENA.
And please include Mercedes Benz Select. It is IMO one of the more underrated "Aventus-inspired" fragrances. Such a refreshing scent!
WE NEEDS ATHENA BACK!
A guy was sitting next to me on a plane in Slovenia last year, he smelled fantastic! I asked him what he was wearing, he said: "Montblanc Explorer". Still need to pick that one up. Thanks guys!
Oh wow! That's awesome!
@@Redolessence he had no idea of what this fragrance was trying to replicate, so of course he was given a small training session, lol.
Yes it’s very interesting to see the opinion of someone who is unbiased and outside of the fragrance community. Because she would represent the majority of people out there in the public.
Absolutely invite her back! The opinions of those who aren't in fragcomm are very fun to watch!
I love when people who aren’t necessarily fragheads weighing in on what they like. Cool video.
Explorer and Bleu de Chanel are my top two choices for the office. Also, Athena has a very Scarlett Johansson vibe from certain angles, in my opinion.
Both great fragrances!
I appreciate that you ask the opinion of someone who is not a "specialist". That gives another point of view.
Thank you!
It's always good to have someone that has no bias regarding brands and trends. And, as Sandi Williams has said, she is a doll, a very nice young lady. Congrats.
Great video! Athena is lovely and has great taste! Definitely bring her back for more videos!
Many thanks!
Great video...love it when you have female guests give their opinions. Blind sniffs without showing the brand is always the best way to do it.
So beautiful explained thanks for this great and useful work
Great video Steven , love how your niece was so honest and not swayed by brands , bleu de Chanel is my pick , I’ve had 4 100ml bottles of Edt abs my fiancée has bought me 100ml parfum for Christmas so I’m really happy to be getting that

Hi Steven.Family or not, she did a very honest review. Thanks for bringing her in. Be safe.
Absolutely bring her back!
Steven, great collab video with your niece. We always appreciate a woman's perspective
Very cool! Have her back for top niche fall/winter fragrances!
Unbiased and transparent opinions loved it!
Thank you for putting the pocket square in 💪💪🏿💪💪🏿
I listen!
@@Redolessence you look a lot more refined and debonair with it
I used to wear Bleu de Chanel / Terre D'Hermes for office. And I have Montblanc Explorer but for out door only. Maybe I'll try to wear it to office next week.
Yes, more Athena please. 🦉
I look forward seeing Athena in a niche fragrance video.

great video! I wonder what she would have picked from a fall list. (part 2)
Good idea!
You look great. You were scaring me there for awhile with the beard. What a great job she did. Honest. Beautiful, smart and amazing smile she has.
That was a lot of fun to watch. Just starting my foray into fragrance and Mont Blanc Explorer was the first scent I purchased to wear in the office. It has been a big compliment getter.
More More More of Athena!!!!!!! Congrats !!!

great video and I enjoy watching, please bring back ATHENA
Thank you for watching, Chris!
Steven died a little bit at 1:04 lmao!! Lovely content brother. You inspire me!
Great video, love the idea of bringing her to review fragrances, her judgement and taste of smell are definitely on point.
Great video. You should definitely invite her back. Explorer is my SOTD and I think it smells amazing.
Yes sirrr... She seems like a nice and honest girl
For sure!
Lady of Wisdom is welcome to return for more reviews
Many thanks!

Very cool video. Definitely need to do it again. I've got CDNIM and Hunter from Armaf. I'll have to add Tres Nuit to my cart.
Excellent guest, please do have her back! I think it's really cool that she would wear Explorer.
Thank you for watching, Louis!
Great video, enjoyed it a lot. Good choices of fragrances as they are generally liked.
Def want Athena back!
Thanks!
Love love love these collabs!! Always good to see the opinion from a female perspective
I've been using Explorer since last year and love it! And please bring her back, she's sweet and candid.

It lasts around 7-8 hours on my skin longevity is good but projection is soft for me
Great video as usual, people been sleeping on Explorer but it's really good. Wish they make a stronger longer lasting version in the near future as thats the only downfall.
I feel like you got the TF vs legend mixed up because she liked the TF better but nonetheless great video 👍🏽
She is adorable! Absolutely love Tres Nuit by the way.
ATHINA picked the two I'm currently wearing for my office.
Like your nieces taste....just saw both vids. I own 4 of the top 5 here. Made me curious about Black Walnut.
Thank you for the review Steven her choices and reasons on the points and simple thank you , also bring her back in the Chanel pls her honest opinion good simple

Thank you so much! I'd be happy to have her back!
The perspective of those who are not frag-heads is fun.
You could do a video guiding her into finding a signature fragrance that would be fun!

Good video, always nice to see what a "regular" person thinks
Right on!
Great vid! Definitely more Athena content please. It's always great getting a females opinion.

She landed on my two favorite every day fragrances.
Whoa! That's awesome! I wear both of them quite often. Thank you for watching, Kyle!

I appreciate that!
It would be interesting to see what she thought about Prada L'homme Lea, oh and your niece it a hit!
Great vid.
Explorer is legit. Sotd today, and was stopped the other day and a gentleman said, yo man whatever you're wearing is amazing
Always nice getting a compliment like that!
