Buying fragrances is classic down the rabbit hole story. Was dragged in it and simply said it's an addiction. Luckily I stopped a 20 and going down till 10 and that's it. Only if something is really really worth buying.something that I'll use often I'll buy it. 1. Versace Dreamer 2. Insurrection II wild 3. Bentley Intense 4. Philipp Plein No limits 5. Moschino Toy Boy 6. Thierry Mugler A MEN 7. Pasha de Cartier 8. Yves Saint Laurent Body Kouros 9. Dolce&Gabbana pour Homme (1994) 10. YSL Y edt
One thing I will say is if you like oud satin mood, You will definitely like blue sapphire even though They are different in their own way. But they are on the same ballpark
Good list, D. The 💎’s of my collection would be Bleu De Chanel EDP, Sauvage Elixir, YSL Y Parfum , The Most Wanted Parfum , TF Oud Wood , and Creed Aventus
This a very good video. I can only go by the fragrances that I own 1. Red Tobacco 2. Instant Crush 3. Kutay 4. Beech Hut Man 5. Scent of peace for him 6. Cedrat Boise
I have a big collection, but in the winter I would say I almost always find Bois de Portugal, or Tobacco Oud in my rotation. Summer is totally different, but right now those two are always in there, along with honorable mention Red Tobacco.
Tobacco Oud is a hate love relationship for me. it smells like a butt in the first hour and then it turns to a metallic tobacco for the remainder of the scent life, reminiscent of Polo Supreme Oud. In a nutshell: it becomes ashy after it starts out assy 🤣 Do you get that, or is it just my skin chemistry?
@@yasfreeman5877 I think it’s just your skin chemistry. Because on me it smells awesome through and through. I like the Tobacco Oud Extreme even better. I have a 10 ml decant of it but it’s discontinued and I’m not paying $600 for it.
@@ajetola877 you can find them at beverlyhillsperfumery Scent split I had found mine on Harrods, that was the cheapest I was able to find it…but maaan it is so worth it
Being an older gentleman on a fixed income can’t go for many on your list but , think it’s terrific. About the best I can do is the Mancera you mention and the closes I can come to your Creed original Santal is Mont Blanc Individuel . Would love to know what Mrs . Bow tie thinks of your go to list .
My top 3 fragrances that I wear is Mancera Cedrat Boise, MFK Aqua Celestia Forte and YSL Y EDP. It was a tie between YSL Y EDP and MDK Aqua Celestia Forte hence why I gave 3.
Great choices there Darian. If I had just two, I would pick YSL L’Homme. That fresh citrus and ginger opening with a spicy mid and green woody base makes this one of my easy grabs for any situation. Second is Bleu De Chanel Parfum. The edp is close for wearability, but the Parfum is just a little denser and that smooth woody base smells amazing.
Top 2 Uomo Born in Roma by Valentino...but the one that I cant stop smelling is Bal D'Alfrique by Byredo. It's so smooth and calming and dries out very well to almost a woody lemon vanilla
U have some fantastic compositions in this list! My top 5 1. Xerjoff Ouverture 2. Nasomatto Black Afgano 3. Xerjoff Mefisto Gentiluomo 4. Frederic Malle POAL 5. Initio Musk Therapy
I didn’t realize Darian loved wearing Freshies so much. I realize I gravitate a lot towards Freshies and ambers a lot Terre D’Hermes Xerjoff Torino21 Xerjoff Naxos
Were you about to say ombre Nomade, I have ombre Nomade and it smells very very different then ombre leather, nomade is superior especially the oud accord
@@iamwilliamwhite yes, very different, on ombre Nomade the leather note is in background and the raspberry, rose, oud is center stage, where in ombre leather, the leather note is the main stay with raspberry, if you can afford it (380) for a full bottle, ombre nomad is a must buy.
Great video bro. Listen I know how much you love Oud Wood. Trust me when I say you have to try Nishane Kredo. Its gives u the same scent profile with much better performance and depth. In all honesty I'll probably never get Oud Wood again. Price pound for pound vs what you get Kredo is a no brainer. Maxaroma has 5ml decants of Kredo. Im very interested to see what you think about it.
My guy bow tie. Your recommendations has been great to me. Layton & Baccarat extract right now for me or Baccarat extract layered with Aventas. That’s how I’m feeling at the moment.
Can you do a video where you cover some awesome fragrances that were discontinued and then brought back either by the house or another house. One fragrance that I have been looking for is DKNY unleaded (originally released in 1994). I am quite sure this happens more often than most people believe. A lot of these scents are created by a few manufacturers.
It is safe to assume with all the options you've collected, your top 10 is a result moreso of saving precious time during your work week, or a sense of what you're wearing?
Darren when you said you need to slow down because you just bought it before you even said what it was I was like BLUE SAPPHIRE!!! I went through a 5ml decant in a month and another one a months time after I bought it again. Its so good it can be a signature if it was cheaper. I will have a full bottle this year because those $80 decants will soon add up to the retail price. I found out about the house from The Godfather #LLKS Now with my Frédéric Malle decant of The Moon Blue Sapphire taught me how to preserve it lol. The moon has a good middle eastern dupe but clearly 2 different purfums one good 100ml cheapie and a superior top quality expensive 5ml niche decant lol

@@lawsemaj I really love Aqua Celestia Forte. It’s a good Spring, Summer and maybe fall scent to me. I prefer it over Gentle Fluidity Silver.
My blind reach fragrances are Prada Carbon, Givenchy Gentleman EDT, and Dior Homme Sport
