My No 1 master piece is the original version of Drakkar Noir by Guy Laroche. Hands down. Recently got 200ml it is just rubbish. People used to scream at me when I was wearing this I loved it so much I did not care ! Oops sorry
I am still enjoying Danger. I can't get enough of that DNA. Thank you for granting us access to your creative visions. Without your nose, imagine what the world would miss out on.
I’m so happy to see Roja Dove on here! Just puts a smile on my face. I don’t have any Roja perfumes yet, but I Am getting ready to pick one up soon. I’m just not 100% sure which one yet.
My 10 Masterpieces 1. Creed - Royal Oud 2. Clive Christian - C 3. Nasamato - Pardon 4. Ramon Malvizar - Art & Gold 5. Kilian - Intoxicated 6. MFK - BR540 7. Tom Ford - Sahara Noir 8. Initio - Atomic Rose 9. Creed - Spice and Wood 10. Roja Dove - Elysium That was hard, but I love all 10 of these.
Agree with u in br540. I have both parfum,..and extrait de parfum br540. However, i prefer by kilian Musk Oud, layered with Bond 9 NY oud, and pengaligons opus 1870.
L'air du Dessert Marocain is according to me not only a masterpiece but a whole art work, having visited Morocco, this fragrance captures that magical country perfectly in a scent.
Great video! This is one of your best. I agree with the Royal Oud. I have owned around 70 bottles of perfumes over the last 7 years with 50 of them being niche perfumes. I told my wife that once I am over this obsession of having so many perfume bottles and will eventually be more mindful of my spending and only keep 15 perfumes at a time, Royal Oud will always be one of those 15. So far my listing of those 15 is: 1. Royal Oud 2. Green Irish Tweed 3. Silver Mountain Water 4. French Lover (Frederic Malle) 5. Layton Exclusif (PDM) 6. Gentle Fluidity (MFK) 7. Aqua Celestia Forte (MFK) 8. Derby (Guerlain) 9. Tam Dao EDP 10. Bois d'Ascèse (Naomi Goodsir) 11. Grey Vetiver (Tom Ford) 12. Colonia Essenza (ADP) 13. Oud Silk Mood EDP (MFK) 14. TBD 15. TBD
Creed Royal Oud - was my 2nd creed fragrance after green irish tweed... it's a good beginner's oud ... it's more cedar than oud. It gets me a lot of compliments, my wife loves it. It works really well... one of the few expensive niche fragrances that I really think is worth the price tag
You’re right about Portrait of a Lady - LOVE at first sniff. When I first wore it out in public, everyone that came near me commented on how beautiful the scent was and how they wanted to know where I bought it. I think I’ve sold enough to get a percentage. The compliments were genuine, unlike when I ask what someone’s wearing for my ‘avoid’ list. Of all the perfumes and scents I own, this and Musc Ravageur are my go-to favs.

Great choices all around, Sebastian. I like the way you chose only things that have been around for a while (so you don't let current enthusiasms for new fragrances potentially cloud your judgment), and that you chose only one perfume per house. I really look forward to further installments in this series. You are, as always, the most thoughtful and most knowledgeable of youtube fragrance reviewers.

Great list! Have smelled only close to half of these, but from the ones I have smelled (Bal D'Afrique, Royal Oud, Grad Soir, LADDM, Naxos, Herod, Intense Cafe, Portrait of a Lady, and African Leather,) the one that caught my nose the most was actually African Leather. And I was later on surprised to find out it has two notes that normally I find quite challenging: cumin, and oud. Looking forward to those upcoming videos with other masterpieces!
Great list Sebastian.. I think original versions of Dior's Oud Ispahan and Leather Oud are both masterpieces. I had a waitress once ask me to write down the name of Leather Oud because she wanted her son to smell like that. So so rich so so good.
I’m interested in fragrances but become overwhelmed easily by all the options. Your descriptions make sense to me and provide me with a list of new scents to try. I screencapped your list and circled the ones I want to check out. 😄
While you "intrigue" me towards many fragrances, occasionally the heavens open and it is revealed to me, "Yes, I'm GETTING that, no questions!" You got me here with the Oriza. Wow. Yes, I must.
My suspicion is that the Oriza's earthiness interacting with the greens and fennel will do something somewhat reminiscent of CdG Rouge's combination of earthy beetroot and ethereal frankincense.
Though I know better than to judge fragrance by gender, Sebastian, if you can help and parse out a few of these that work for those of us introverted females, I’d appreciate the tip!
I love Portrait if a lady, however I will say the newest bottle I bought does t seem as strong as the first bottle that I bought about three years ago.
Thank you for the video! I must say I own quite a few of those... Needless to say that Sebastian had a lot to do with that fact... Looool 😁 I'll be waiting for the follow-up video too! 👍
For example, on the theme of "masterpieces I'll never wear," I can tell you straight up that the Etat Libre one does truly sound to me like a masterpiece, simply exquisite, but everything about its being "beast mode," leathery, animalic, "overwhelming," telegraphs loudly, "Not for you, Ken!"
Naxos by Xerjoff is a highly acclaimed fragrance known for its refreshing citrus opening, warm and spicy heart, and creamy vanilla base. It has exceptional performance and versatility, making it suitable for any occasion. Naxos is a masterpiece that captivates with its exquisite blend of notes and timeless appeal.agreed
Quite an enjoyable video! Quite an enjoyable background. I know it night take 5 to 6 videos in your case but, a full collection series perhaps? Thanks Sebastian.
Great list and I enjoyed it and I like Creed Royal Oud and both of the Andy Tauer fragrances and Xerjoff Naxos and Memo Paris African Leather and I'm going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed night
Great as always, Sebastian ¡! I have several parfums of your selection... The best in my collection is Portrait of a lady. For my humble experience in this world of fragrances, i would also include Erba Pura (Xerjoff) Thé Noire 29 (Le Labo) Ganymede (Quentin Bisch 😁.. M.A. Barrois) Black Phantom (By Kilian) Greetings,
O hira by stephane Lucas Hubert is an ambergris masterpiece, Shem by nishane is an amber masterpiece, blue Sapphire by boadicea is a fruity oud masterpiece, amber aoud Precieux is maybe my signature scent, soooo good
MFK - I personally put Oud Satin Mood Extrait in 1st place followed by Grand Soir Frederic Malle - The Moon is my favorite fragrance of all Great video as always 👍🏻
Great list and an amazing background of your collection! Wow! May I ask why you never review Boadicea? It is a fantastic house and has become my favorite by far.
Very complicated house and no one carries it near me with the fact that they are extremely expensive I have not had the opportunity to sample or actually buy and test etc. Maybe in the near future! :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy thank you Sebatian I would appreciate your opinion, they offer so much. May I suggest Blue Sapphire, Fire Sapphire, Hyde Park, Nemer, Torc, Notorious and Bayswater to name a few?
For shear value I rate Guerlain Oriental range and Samsara. But Ex-Nihlo Irreverant/ Sissly Soir'd Orient / Kurkdijan Buccrat Rouge and Tom Ford Tobacco Qud intense r tops....... Gucci Qud intense is also rather good
@@cece4749 It was listed as Feminine on the MFK site but I wear it fine. It’s one of those scents that you wouldn’t know was marketed for women unless you had been told. I just wear what I like. The gender doesn’t bother me.
Amazing list, I feel myself lucky to have few of them like, POAL, Sale, LDDM, African Leather, Royal Oud and Grand Soir. Few fragrances from my collection I consider myself masterpieces: 1. Ensar Oud: EO1 Assam/ EO2 Kashmir/EO3/ Tibetan Musk/ Santal Sultan/Irish Ghalia/ Homeros/ Black Chango each of them are masterpieces without any doubt, you pay $600 for only 30ml juice, so it gotta be really really good) 2. Areej le dore: Russian Musk / Chinese Oud / Cuir de Russe/ Grandenia Masterpieces no doubt. 3. Oud Monarch by Bortnikoff 4. Mousse illuminee by Rogue Perfumery 5. Overture Man by Amouage (Interlude Black Irish & Beach hut Man also) 6. Nefs by Nishane (IMHO) 7. Enigma by Roja Dove 8. Pikuvaya Dama by Xerjoff 9. Maai / Mem by Bogue Profumo 10. Promise by Frederick Malle 11. Baque by Slumberhouse Honourable mentions..... 12. Rosendo Mateu 5 13. Lune Feline by Atelier des Ors 14. Layton by PDM 15. Asrar Indonesia by Rasasi
My suspicion is that the Oriza's earthiness interacting with the greens and fennel will do something somewhat reminiscent of CdG Rouge's combination of earthy beetroot and ethereal frankincense. This is likely why it has such a strong pull for me.
Amber, smoky, woody, spicy, tobacco, leather, patchouli over and over and over again. It would have been helpful to us if you featured a more diverse palette and more scents for the spring and summer seasons. Per your recommendation I will test Nishane Ambra Calabria.
@@JT-rx1eo Sebastian puts his nose on more fragrances than most. I agree a prism of personal taste. However, his taste is highly fine tuned, refined, and experienced to allow accurate descriptions.
@@cavgrey8 Yea, he certainly has the experience and fine tuned tastes, but my point is that tastes and therefore evaluation is highly subjective. It's difficult to objectively judge as a "masterpiece" because of inherent subjectivity, regardless of experience.
Great vid as usual Seb. Can you please do a "GO-TO" fragrances list? I know it's gonna be hard for you to produce as you have loads of perfumes but pleaseeee. 😀
Great list and some surprising choices there since you don't mention about them as much as others. Pardon by Nasomatto, Ani by Nishane or Un Air D'apogee by Maison Violet are what I consider masterpiece in my collection.
I appreciate this video so much, Sebastian. There's some here I need to try! And I'm also quite surprised to see some fragrances making this list per house. You're the best! The fragrance community can't thank you enough!
For me, Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille and Kilian Intoxicated are definitely masterpieces! Also, I really wanna smell some Tauer fragrances, but I’ve never seen them in a store here in Switzerland, which is weird since Tauer is Swiss lol

After smelling over 200 fragrances, the bests for me are Layton and Royal Oud. I think the next ones are also masterpieces: Silver Musk, Pegasus, Elysium (and the original Fierce, in this segment), Prada iris cedre, and perhaps other 2-3 in the same scent profile.
Great video! Why stop at 20? Make Part 2 and 3 of the Masterpiece series as well. Maybe a total of 100 masterpiece fragrances from your entire collection.
Thanks for the awesome video. Wow, looks like Incident Diplomatique has been dethroned…lol. Psychedelique is still a class act, great scent, nonetheless.
I enjoy both of these, I hadn’t put that connection together but maybe a similar vibe? I still find GS more enveloping and Obsession to be more leathery (and more similar to Must de Cartier Parfum).

Amouage Interlude is a masterpiece. Very creative and bold. But sooo good.
Portrait of a Lady made fall in love the rose scents. I bought a bottle when it first came out at Barney’s in Dallas.
Hey Sebastian good reviews as usual.
Was wearing Xerjoff Naxos , and received many compliments. Top class Masterpiece. Cheers.
To me, Naxos is all about that spiciness, honey, and cashmerin--amazing
I just ordered ambre calabria because of your recommendation. I purchased Hacivat and loved it. I hope its amazing.
I love it when you indicate they are unisex or for a certain sex. Thanks for marking that in the box with the names of the scents.
While you "intrigue" me towards many fragrances, occasionally the heavens open and it is revealed to me, "Yes, I'm GETTING that, no questions!" You got me here with the Oriza. Wow. Yes, I must.

Thank you Sebastian
I always enjoy your review videos, you are my go-to when I need to know about a fragrance that I am interested in
MFK - I personally put Oud Satin Mood Extrait in 1st place followed by Grand Soir
Frederic Malle - The Moon is my favorite fragrance of all

I have a few on your list that I think are masterpieces, or at least great. I would put Nasomatto Pardon on that masterpiece list as well
I sprayed a sample of Psychadelique on my wrist yesterday and i got a good whiff of it 8 hours later, it really is delicious chocolate cakey
Great list and an amazing background of your collection! Wow! May I ask why you never review Boadicea? It is a fantastic house and has become my favorite by far.
Very complicated house and no one carries it near me with the fact that they are extremely expensive I have not had the opportunity to sample or actually buy and test etc. Maybe in the near future! :)

Just blind bought Benjoin boheme because of you! No regrets ☺️
Great video and I enjoyed it !! I have only experience with Portrait of Lady ( Ropion) !! I Love This Parfume !!!
Grand Soir reminds me a lot of Obsession, the original from back in the 1980’s.
Wait until you smell MFK Ciel De Gum it will remind you more of Obsession!! 😀
Nice to finally see some of your collection again in the new studio. Great video as always, notes taken 👌🏾
For shear value I rate Guerlain Oriental range and Samsara. But Ex-Nihlo Irreverant/ Sissly Soir'd Orient / Kurkdijan Buccrat Rouge and Tom Ford Tobacco Qud intense r tops....... Gucci Qud intense is also rather good
My niche masterpieces are Xerjoff Pikovaya Dama and Alexandria II. Ciel De Gum & Amyris Extrait Parfum from MFK. Ani from Nishane.
I still don't have Alexandria II.
I left off CIEL DE GUM cause it's not so easy to get and most people don't know about it.
I’ve been wanting to smell Cuel De Gum for so long. So sad they don’t have a sample for it available anymore. Would you say it leans more masculine?
@@cece4749 It was listed as Feminine on the MFK site but I wear it fine. It’s one of those scents that you wouldn’t know was marketed for women unless you had been told. I just wear what I like. The gender doesn’t bother me.

Few fragrances from my collection I consider myself masterpieces:
1. Ensar Oud: EO1 Assam/ EO2 Kashmir/EO3/ Tibetan Musk/ Santal Sultan/Irish Ghalia/ Homeros/ Black Chango each of them are masterpieces without any doubt, you pay $600 for only 30ml juice, so it gotta be really really good)
2. Areej le dore: Russian Musk / Chinese Oud / Cuir de Russe/ Grandenia Masterpieces no doubt.
3. Oud Monarch by Bortnikoff
4. Mousse illuminee by Rogue Perfumery

Wow what a collection! Thats heaven
Yea. Crazy right??? 😂😂😂
No! That is a fraction only!
3:27 I love that you couldn't hold back snickering 🥳
Great vid. A lot of the fragrances are a bit out of my budget range. Maybe a same vid with budget/ designer masterpieces? Greetz and all the best.
I bought Royal Oud because of this review; it is a masterpiece but the almost $500 price tag hurt for the 100ml bottle.
What about African Leather Rose, I don't hear a lot of people talk about it, but it smells AMAZING!
Some of these I def agree they are masterpieces. Some I never tried before.
My suspicion is that the Oriza's earthiness interacting with the greens and fennel will do something somewhat reminiscent of CdG Rouge's combination of earthy beetroot and ethereal frankincense. This is likely why it has such a strong pull for me.
Portrait of a lady is my fav. The SPL is so amazing 😍

I am wearing Grand sour today and it’s got me 6 compliments hahaha in 2 hours lol
I'm a little hyped to see the rest of this masterpiece series. Can't wait 😃
I was going to recommend Chypre Mousse. Of course you know and love it
It's so good!! :)
I though byredo Bal d afrique is overhyped. After several testing on my skin, this left the most delightfully unique, most pleasing to me so i bought😅
Great vid as usual Seb. Can you please do a "GO-TO" fragrances list? I know it's gonna be hard for you to produce as you have loads of perfumes but pleaseeee. 😀
Great list and some surprising choices there since you don't mention about them as much as others. Pardon by Nasomatto, Ani by Nishane or Un Air D'apogee by Maison Violet are what I consider masterpiece in my collection.
holy smokes, your fragrance collection is to die for!!!
Very glad to see a part of your collection
Great list! I enjoy quite a few mentioned.....including Salome ♡
I appreciate this video so much, Sebastian. There's some here I need to try! And I'm also quite surprised to see some fragrances making this list per house. You're the best! The fragrance community can't thank you enough!
Like orhers, I love the shelves in the background and it would be great to see a tour of you collection one day!
After watching your videos i go ans try these amazing colognes.. This is how i found my signature scent!!!
I have 5 out of 20.
Creed Royal Oud
Montale Intense Cafe
Xerjoff Naxos
Perfumes De Marly Herod
Tiziana Terenzi Ursa
(6) if you include Nishane Hacivat
For me, Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille and Kilian Intoxicated are definitely masterpieces!
Also, I really wanna smell some Tauer fragrances, but I’ve never seen them in a store here in Switzerland, which is weird since Tauer is Swiss lol
If you like intoxicated you will like Lair Du Desert Morocain. There are similarities, but I have both and enjoy both.
Au Couer by Tauer is legitimately incredible. I could wear it everyday! The L'Air is lighter but both are must try! 💜
Great selection! You have a very similar taste to me and I have several of the ones you mention😀

I'm curious about Monegal. And what would be your favourite for men and women from them.
After smelling over 200 fragrances, the bests for me are Layton and Royal Oud. I think the next ones are also masterpieces: Silver Musk, Pegasus, Elysium (and the original Fierce, in this segment), Prada iris cedre, and perhaps other 2-3 in the same scent profile.
Bal d'Arique itself is a copy of Hermes Tonka Vetiver and that one is the original.
Wow Sebastian!! The line up. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I bought last year absolut pour de soir cologne 200 ml Amazingggg and absolut pour le soir normal version and mfk lumière noire All discontinued.
Great video! Why stop at 20? Make Part 2 and 3 of the Masterpiece series as well. Maybe a total of 100 masterpiece fragrances from your entire collection.
All great pics !
I agree that Naxos is a masterpiece
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the awesome video. Wow, looks like Incident Diplomatique has been dethroned…lol. Psychedelique is still a class act, great scent, nonetheless.
Naxos is a MASTERPIECE 😍😍😍
Sooo good. Can't stop thinking about it!
MFK’s Grand soir reminds me of Calvin Klein’s Obsession A LOT. They are very much alike! Thank you for your videos Sebastian❤️
I enjoy both of these, I hadn’t put that connection together but maybe a similar vibe? I still find GS more enveloping and Obsession to be more leathery (and more similar to Must de Cartier Parfum).
Agreed. Some of the men's smell better than some of the womens. Cheers.
