@@rdrive1 They just seem like they go into it already not wanting to like it. Or they always try to compare it to something they've smelled before and act disappointed when nothing comes to mind. I have people i know smell different fragrances all the time on testers and they never have such harsh reactions.
We really need to see what fragrances they actually wear because their reactions are just so strange and varied to mainstream fragrances. Sauvage and BDC smells Christmasy?? 🤣🤣
they probably don’t wear much tbh . But yeh maybe the woods give off a Christmas vibe. But in the end it’s hard for the uninitiated to understand and enjoy fragrances
What can I say - people are weird. This whole series is pretty comical and cute at the same time. I've never heard more fragrance-related nonsense in my life, I mean I've witnessed normies bash on niche frags but trashing two blue world's best sellers - that is something new. Tressa is cool tho. She picked BdC so you know she's got taste.
Tressa is right, BDC is natural smelling and high quality...Sauvage just smells like cheap toilet spray and it's synthetic and gives you a headache. I know that sauvage is popular but it's undeniably not better than BDC in quality. Too synthetic, gives you a headache, smells cheap.
I cannot agree with this more. Dior is literally S3x in a bottle and Chanel is so sophisticated that my eyes light up. It's like they never smelled class before. But like Dior is the basic of the basic with literally everyone wearing it now days.
@@Ram90ification I'm not a big fan of sauvage, but I mean it's not bad and it's true that girls and the majority of people love it that's why it's popular. Well also that and because of Johnny Depp commercial, I don't think it would be nearly as popular if Johnny Depp didn't promote it
Love honest reaction videos from people who aren't obsessed with fragrances. Too many people try to push hyped fragrances and completely lose touch with what everyone else actually cares about (ie they don't care if you have a super rare oud, and they don't like being slapped in the face with someone who is wearing too much).
Glad you enjoy. We get so easily out of touch with all hyperbolic and emphatic ways to describe fragrances too. There is no one size fits all and the fragrance never makes the person. Thanks for watching!
The responses to both were quite surprising. Bleu is my signature scent and I'll wear it more often than not, but Sauvage is also great. I'm the only guy where I work (medical field) and always get positive feedback from both. BdC is perfect for my field because it has enough presence to be pleasant and noticeable without making people uncomfortable when in close proximity. Sauvage gets the most compliments.
Ha, I also work in the medical field and make sure to choose more people pleasing fragrances while at the hospital. The nurses like when I wear Dior homme 2020.
I'm a female and wear both, but I spray Sauvage in my car, because I like my car to smell like that always 🤣 I don't see gender in Fragrance and wear what I like.
I've gotten tons of compliments from women wearing sauvage and i've worn a whole 100ml bottle of versace eros flame and haven't got not 1 single compliment to date
@dasabaja I guessed that’s what I’m going to smell like. Besides I torture a work staff with Christmas 🎄 carols. I definitely don’t want to remind them with a scent of Christmas flashbacks
Agree, would like to see what they say when you tell them that they are Chanel and Dior, two huge names obviously and if that changes their perceptions.
I LOVE all the honest reactions and descriptions in this video! It confirms my theory that we all pick up on different notes in fragrances and end up smelling completely different things from the same fragrance. Really goes to show you need to get your nose on a fragrance before blind buying because you never know if that $200 bottle you impulse bought will have a note that repulses you and overpowers everything else.
I'm one of the few people who find Dior Sauvage having really unpleasant smell. When I got the sample I tried to like it but have to wash it after 20 minutes. But I really love Bleu de Chanel.
I felt the same exact way you did! Dior Sauvage just rubbed me the wrong way but I fell head over heels when I smelled Bleu de Chanel the very first time! Ironically, they were side by side at the perfume counters in the mall! I was trying to buy a fragrance for Christmas for my ex husband and he absolutely loved Bleu de Chanel!
I tried it off of paper and on my skin. On paper it smelled pleasant nothing to wow me. On skin it had a sour if thats possible smell. Same thing happened with zadig and voltaire this is him. BdC and YSL Y edp where the most pleasant
I have both of these fragrance Super Powers , and I just remember the first time I smelled Bleu De Chanel! To me it is the standard of what designer fragrances SHOULD be. I’ll never run out of it. Also , try the shower gel on both of these!
We were surprised by the end result of this one. If you guys like this style of video let us know! We can happily do more in the future. These are both EDT by the way.
I’m not surprised, Teddy. I do think Dior Sauvage is better, and certainly one of my goto fragrance for daily usage (the other ones I also preferred are CK be, Guerlain Ideal, Acqua di Gio and Terre d’Hermes). It shows that Sauvage is very versatile and loved by many… Thanks for the video, love it
I’m not surprised at all... I’ve watched a few of these and Tressa seems to be the only one with taste. Everyone else seems basic. And how do you spell basic in fragrances these days?.. Sauvage.
Would like to see how they react to the EDP and Parfum versions, especially BDC which are much better than the EDT in my opinion. Also, perhaps a comparison with YSL Y EDP. I prefer that over both Sauvage and BDC.
Definitely surprised too - though they are similar scents. I wonder how much of these types of videos are based off the 'first thing I smelled'.... so maybe they'd have voted differently if you'd had them smell Chanel first. Personally, I don't know how anyone could think Sauvage smells better than Bleu, but here we are. Sauvage might project more, but Bleu has the classier, more complex scent to me. Keep Tressa around for future - she's got the best scent-sense in my opinion.
yeah they don't really know what they are talking about, also testing perfumes on a test strip is not reliable at all. You also can't tell if a fragrance is really weak or not on a test strip, it's skin that matters and Sauvage is way stronger than BdC
Savage is one of the best fragrances like of all time like almost every guy is wearing this. Me personally I would definitely go with Chanel. Honestly I'd be wearing that everyday if I could.
Wow, quickly becoming one of my favorite fragrance channels. Y’all are gonna make the others step up their game. Love this format, their reactions are so much more natural than “off the street” testing. Excellent.
Off the street has its perks. The interviewer feels like they don't wanna inconvenience the subjects & people could be in a hurry so it's a true test of do you like this or not. The style in this video really allows the subjects to spend more time w/ the scents & they might not give an answer they would have if it was off the street
You are right but from a production side it would be hard to pull that off especially if you are trying to have them react to several fragrances. We shot five videos in one sit down given eight people are showing up for this so it is just not possible given this.
True, when i try Fragrances, i spray them on my wrist (if there's an option to do so). If they smell good my skin; then I'm most likely to keep wearing them.
This is super true. Especially random people having no idea what they’re smelling. They’ll say the randomest things or hate on stuff. My girlfriend will give the weirdest descriptions of fragrances I show her and sometimes not like them but then when I wear them later on she’ll be like ooo you smell good what are you wearing I like it a lot. So yea on skin is a big difference
@@reneoliva1848 how big was the difference? Ombre leather smells like the inside of a barn to me on a tester strip but many people rave about how good it is. Never tried on my skin
Now THIS is how you do a reaction video. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more modern take on content reacting to fragrances. They actually get to sit down and share what they think and how they feel about the scent instead of the overdone stopping people in the streets in a rush type of video. Looking forward to more of these!
Always interesting to see people who arent in the frag community react to colognes. All the frag forums will claim "sauvage is everywhere and unoriginal" but let the average person smell it and they wont know what it is.
Think it depends on where you live and where you go. If you go clubbing a lot you will probably come in contact with a lot of scents but even then.. You are in a close quarter room or dance floor with hundreds of people all wearing different smells all intermingled with each other.. Not to mention mixed with sweat and booze lol..
I started wearing Sauvage a couple years ago. I apply it very subtly, never doing more than two small sprays on bare skin right on each side of my upper chest. I've never in my life had more people randomly tell me that I smell good, and it comes from both men and women. My current girlfriend still buries her nose in my chest sometimes while exclaiming how good I smell, even after several years of wearing it. I would be very surprised if it had lost the popular vote in this test.
Yea I don't trust these types of videos because you will have people just making stuff up or nitpicking things they won't notice in everyday life, Sauvage and BdC are great regardless of what these people say
I own both of these fragrances. BdC was my first real Cologne I bought. Sauvage being my most recent. the strayer on Dior is more generous and I noticed the scent tends to stay strong for longer. BdC is more tamed but more sophisticated of a smell. Both smell great and at the end of the day will get you compliments.
I would like to see how they did the test strips, did they blast them from 6 inches away or a light mist from 2 feet? Did they wait any time before giving it to the testers? Burying your nose in a fresh spray of Sauvage is overpowering and is a completely different smell than getting a waft from a distance after an hour
Such an underrated chanel, you guys deserve so many more subscribers. Everything from the music, editing, production and effort just makes this channel have to be so much more popular
At first Bleu de Chanel was quite repeling to me, later on I tried it on a skin, and then I found out how beutiful it is. My No. 1 for couple years now.
Blind testing does not lie. It revealed a strong preference for one over the other without name brand recognition or hype. Now, understand that for the person buying and wearing the fragrance, the name brand recognition and hype actually affects their appreciation of the smell. It is called sensory bias, as in audio products, the better looking and more expensive one will always do better in sighted testing, but not necessarily in blind testing. Just a science lesson :) love the concept of this video, keep 'em coming.
I have a couple of questions: 1. We apply perfumes on fabric and skin, both on which they develop differently. Do these strips even translate their aroma? 2. How quickly did you hand them the strips after spraying them? because different timings would give different scents of the perfumes. Are they smelling top tones, the hearty tones or the base tones? 3. Can this format be adjusted to skin scents? as that would showcase their real world usage.
I always am annoyed when the strip is used because the cologne is most times used/worn on human skin or near human skin when the oils mix with the human so it will smell different. This could be argued why the strips are used but is each person smelling the strip at the sams time?
I definitely enjoyed this kinda video. It allows you to experience different perspectives of two awesome colognes. I never tried Dior Sauvage but i was happy to get some reviews on it. I have tried Bleu De Chanel before and it was the only thing i wore for a good while. It was amazing. It's not for everyone and that's ok. You only need to wear a little of it and it lasts most of the day.
The great thing about sauvage isn’t the smell right after you spray it on a paper sample. It’s the Drydown after a couple of hours and the sillage when you walk by. Trust me it smells awesome and it just works. 99% of all normal non perfume people just love this smell
Nice review guys and good to see other people's opinion on fragrances. I personally own both and enjoy both but I will have to say I've received slightly more compliments with Dior Sauvage. Keep up the great content! Shout out from Costa Rica
I have both fragrances, and I love both of them, on a side note. I was once wearing Chanel bleu at an “Alton Towers” amusement park and as a lady bent down to buckle me in my seat, paid me a huge compliment to the way I smelt (all whilst my girlfriend was sitting beside me) 😳 awkward 😑
This video proves wear what you like. One of them said sauvage is a subtle one compared to Bdc. Moreover, how the scent reacts on ones skin is subjective. So take with a grain of salt.
Idk why ppl are getting upset by their reaction, at least it looks genuine. Someone even had the same idea of BdC I had, it is a definition of perfume. It smells exactly what a perfume should smell. Also Tressa has a very good nose overall, not only in this video but her reactions is mostly on point.
Thanks for the reply and the confidence boost, you two! I was mostly joking if you couldn’t tell; at the end of the day, I bought my bottle of Chanel because it was the scent I liked the most out of what I tried at Ulta that night - and it has a solid enough reputation where maybe not everyone will agree and think it smells nice on me, but a large amount of people will. My comment more-so came in response to this weird coincidence that keeps happening where the RUclips algorithm likes to show me videos that try to make me regret a recent purchase (same thing happened after I got a new guitar pedal). Lol
its just random people smell paper, if you buy fragrance because of what others will say you will always waste money. get what you like and enjoy it. PS bleu > savage and its not even close
Great format etc., but that is one hallow victory for Dior because aside from a couple people, the take away was no one liked either fragrance, they were just choosing the one they disliked the least…
To me a fragrance is about how it makes me feel. It's as much about the presentation and feel of the bottle as it is about the smell. I don't care what others think of it. It's a confidence thing and that's in the end the most important factor in social dynamics especially for men.
I agree with you that all that matters is what you think. When it comes to the bottles, that is more of retail positioning and how brands can get you to walk out of the store or checkout online with their product. Once I acquire a fragrance the bottle doesn’t hold much weight on if I decide I want to wear it anymore. All this considered, it is still interesting to see what others think in a blind format in my opinion. The wearer can decide how much weight they want to put on that.
Im starting to get into fragrances and i got my bottle of Bleu de chanel EDP yesterday. I don’t hate it but it’s going to have to take some time for me to love it. That being said I’m still happy made the purchase. *That Scarface shirt on that girl is awesome *.
Bleu de Chanel EDP was good 4 years ago, now it's shit. Chanel cut costs and makes these fragrances weak, chemical water. Try finding a vintage bottle somewhere if you'd like to compare.
@@Let_it_burn_0 well, I will take it as a disagreement. This is very sad to me that these companies can get away with such a low quality. Turns out perfume is placebo for most people, because I don't believe otherwise these reformulations would have been tolerated by so many.
I second that! Not to mention I love Sauvage and was considering getting Bleu de Chanel once it ran out so this comparison could not have been timed better! Cheers
@Baldassarre Fragrance Glad you guys made a fragrance channel. Just started dipping my toes on fragrances while in isolation due to COVID-19. Avid fan of the watch channel, would love to see a video matching watches to fragrances in the future.
I can confirm these are were all genuine. When you’re in a niche space you get out of touch with the reality of the world and their understanding of your interest.
@Baldassarre Fragrance Oh I wasn't questioning them being genuine. I just know how beloved those fragrances are by most people. It's all subjective though. Even though I appreciate certain niche fragrances, I'm a designer person. Thanks for the video. I've been enjoying them.
These are great reviews! Thanks for doing this! But on the flip side it would be interesting to see fragrances rated from the skin and not a piece of paper.
I have had sauvage EDP for couple years. My bottle is running out so I'm thinking about getting EDT. I wonder if I should stick with EDP or challenge myself with EDT.
Green hat is the only one with any flavor. I have Sauvage but Chanel Bleu is definitely smoother and more sensual. Will be adding Bleu to my collection soon.
I have the bleu de channel parfum and perfer it over the sauvage, there both great but the sauvage has more projection outwards but the channel will pull someone in and have them mesmerized
Idea of the most popular releases with not showing fragrance is amazing! I’d love to see the reaction for Aventus. And wanna see reaction Office for Men from Fragrance One. vs Dior Sauvage.
based on these reviews I realized Bleu de Chanel has the same problem as f.e. ADG Profumo. It's basically incense note. There are of course occasions that this smoky-fresh combination will rock but for indoors/office there is always a risk this will be offensive. That's why most likely such incense frags will loose against such scents like Sauvage, Y EDP, Eros. Those do not have incense or similar offensive notes.
Smelling off a strip smells totally different than smelling off skin. Most of these people don't like any of the fragrances presented to them..but let them smell it on someone in the air and guarantee their opinions change.
If you’re someone who is looking to buy either of these scents, don’t listen to the opinions of these testers. I’d guess that if they smelled them on a person walking past, they’d notice AND like both. I will admit that I didn’t like the Sauvage (Parfum) at first. Took me a few goes, and now I love it as much as BDC (Parfum).
I’ve watched about 4 of these videos and they seem to never like ANYTHING rather it’s an expensive or designer fragrance. I’d love to know what they actually have in their fragrance collection they ACTUALLY like
I'm so shocked. I must not know anything about men's fragrance either because the first time I smelled Sauvage, I walked around a grocery store until I found the guy wearing it so I could ask what it was. Even now if I catch a whiff I just stop for a moment and breath it in.
I really life this style of video because it gives me a better idea about what other people think. Rather than someone who is already very knowledgeable about the different kinds of fragrances out there. Plus the more opinions there are, the more believable the end result. I own Sauvage but I didn't expect the responses at all. It seemed to me like they only chose that because BdC wasn't as good. Maybe its time for me to get a new one.
What kind of Christmas that guy smelled lol xD 😆?? Anyway I am surprised that sauvage kicked out bleu de chanel so easily. I expected something more like 50/50 with the preferences.
Younger people seem to prefer the smell of sauvage over bdc, as bdc is a more mature sent. They should have different age groups rating these fragrances to get a little more diverse opinions. This group tends to agree on everything
Great perfect video non bias just straight honesty. I personally bought the Dior Savage because it smells good and is long lasting just like the classic colognes that have stood the time.
You should have filmed their reactions afterwards when you tell tehm what fragrances were and see them surprised that it was Dior and Chanel since many of them said they smell genric and cheap :D would have loved to see that
Watched coupe videos from this channel now. Well done content. But these people must have no experience with fragrances, probably never wore one? Feels like most of em are just there to bash. These two are two most mass appealing ones on the market... I can get it when they dont like niche ones. They were difficult for me as well when I started my journey... The girl with the yellow wool hat is the one I can take serious... She is not just there "to be different"...
I think some people are so overwhelmed by the notes opening that they cant truly smell it, just like when I first tried whiskey I could not taste its age, and now that I am more used to it, I can taste the difference because the shock of the burn and harshness of the alcohol no longer masks the notes.
Tressa has a good nose. But hey, there's a reason why Sauvage gets more compliments. It's just super strong. People live in big cities and are exposed to strong smells every day. So a lot of us probably have a weaker sense of smell due to it. I had to laugh when one of them described Sauvage as "lighter" than Bleu de Chanel. I can get why she's saying Sauvage smells like a pine tree. It has some similarities.
I'd be interested in a video on men's fragrances that women can also wear. I've heard that Bleu de Chanel Perfum and Dior Savage Elixir are amazing on women.
This is why you really should test on skin. They are essentially right because the opening on both are a bit harsh but the dry downs on skin and clothing are the money makers.
Everyone loves Sauvage. I went to the store, smelled it, tried it on and I really didnt like it. Over rated but good on Dior for the great marketing on it
I find myself agreeing with Tressa almost all the time so it's funny that she was the only one who selected my personal favorite. She's the only one who does it right IMO.
Love this series. This should be shown to marketing students to show the power of perception v reality. As a sneaker head also, this is like the manufactured hate of Nike Air Jordan Mids.
What a beating. When bleu came out on the market "was the king" 👑 And 5 years later sauvage dethroned him. Now if you want a blue fragrance the best option is sauvage or ysl y edp cause they last long and have a good price.
What you could do is, after a year of this series, you could make a video to summarize the most popular group picks. Maybe just in time for the holiday season.
I got that edt Chanel De Bleu, or Blue and if you can handle some serious strong sexy scent, and to try something different and at the same time challenging than you win ,if you can't and think this is not a best scent then it's someone's loss. Gaspard Ulliel was promote Bleu De Chanel perfume it was great experience to watch. And to think to buy it it is very difficult for me, but I did buy it and I don't regret.
Love these Group videos but feel like you should have the strips ready ahead of time so they arent getting just the strong top... at least a few minutes. And tell them not to bury their noses in the strip, but have them wave it close by their nose instead. Just some thoughts. Loving the channel and the high quality of your videos.
I'm loving your new channel, but I would have like to see you reveal the fragrance to your test-subjects to see their reaction. Also, I think it would look better on screen if you sat closer to each other.
We will do reveals going forward. We shot five in the first shoot and some of the later ones in the shoot we did a reveal on what one they liked more. We will have to get new chairs also given we use two mics there is interference if we both talk at the same time. Distancing helps that but we can improve it for sure. Thank you for watching and the encouragement.
@@BaldassarreFragrance Thanks for the clarification, I’ve done audio for my Church and know it can be a real challenge. I hope I didn’t come across as too critical, I know this is a new channel. It's just as fiancées it looks a bit odd not being closer.
By the way congrats on your engagement you two make an adorable couple. Christine gives me hope that there are still good down-to-earth women out there. Ones that want a partner and are more lovely on the inside than out.

yeah they don't really know what they are talking about, also testing perfumes on a test strip is not reliable at all. You also can't tell if a fragrance is really weak or not on a test strip, it's skin that matters and Sauvage is way stronger than BdC
Savage is one of the best fragrances like of all time like almost every guy is wearing this. Me personally I would definitely go with Chanel. Honestly I'd be wearing that everyday if I could.
Wow, quickly becoming one of my favorite fragrance channels. Y’all are gonna make the others step up their game. Love this format, their reactions are so much more natural than “off the street” testing. Excellent.
Off the street has its perks. The interviewer feels like they don't wanna inconvenience the subjects & people could be in a hurry so it's a true test of do you like this or not. The style in this video really allows the subjects to spend more time w/ the scents & they might not give an answer they would have if it was off the street
Fragrances smell different on skin vs on paper strips. I own several fragrances that I hated on paper but ended up loving after spraying on my skin.
You are right but from a production side it would be hard to pull that off especially if you are trying to have them react to several fragrances. We shot five videos in one sit down given eight people are showing up for this so it is just not possible given this.
True, when i try Fragrances, i spray them on my wrist (if there's an option to do so). If they smell good my skin; then I'm most likely to keep wearing them.
True true....line for me when I smelled Tom Fords Ombre Leather on a strip I didn't like it, but when I smelled it on my skin.....oh boy!!!! 😏😍
This is super true. Especially random people having no idea what they’re smelling. They’ll say the randomest things or hate on stuff. My girlfriend will give the weirdest descriptions of fragrances I show her and sometimes not like them but then when I wear them later on she’ll be like ooo you smell good what are you wearing I like it a lot. So yea on skin is a big difference
@@reneoliva1848 how big was the difference? Ombre leather smells like the inside of a barn to me on a tester strip but many people rave about how good it is. Never tried on my skin
Now THIS is how you do a reaction video. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more modern take on content reacting to fragrances. They actually get to sit down and share what they think and how they feel about the scent instead of the overdone stopping people in the streets in a rush type of video.
Looking forward to more of these!
Always interesting to see people who arent in the frag community react to colognes.
All the frag forums will claim "sauvage is everywhere and unoriginal" but let the average person smell it and they wont know what it is.
Think it depends on where you live and where you go. If you go clubbing a lot you will probably come in contact with a lot of scents but even then.. You are in a close quarter room or dance floor with hundreds of people all wearing different smells all intermingled with each other.. Not to mention mixed with sweat and booze lol..
I started wearing Sauvage a couple years ago. I apply it very subtly, never doing more than two small sprays on bare skin right on each side of my upper chest. I've never in my life had more people randomly tell me that I smell good, and it comes from both men and women. My current girlfriend still buries her nose in my chest sometimes while exclaiming how good I smell, even after several years of wearing it. I would be very surprised if it had lost the popular vote in this test.
edt or edp?
Yea I don't trust these types of videos because you will have people just making stuff up or nitpicking things they won't notice in everyday life, Sauvage and BdC are great regardless of what these people say
You spray on Bare skin but Undershirt? Or do you spray on bareskin with no clothes on top?
I own both of these fragrances. BdC was my first real Cologne I bought. Sauvage being my most recent. the strayer on Dior is more generous and I noticed the scent tends to stay strong for longer. BdC is more tamed but more sophisticated of a smell. Both smell great and at the end of the day will get you compliments.
Love this type of video. Seeing their genuine reactions gives some perspective of how not all people like popular scents. Also, Hallee is stunning.
I'm surprised mos6 of them didn't really like either of them because they are 2 of the most popular fragrances ever.
I would like to see how they did the test strips, did they blast them from 6 inches away or a light mist from 2 feet? Did they wait any time before giving it to the testers? Burying your nose in a fresh spray of Sauvage is overpowering and is a completely different smell than getting a waft from a distance after an hour
Such an underrated chanel, you guys deserve so many more subscribers. Everything from the music, editing, production and effort just makes this channel have to be so much more popular
I kinda like this series because it makes all of the Fragrance RUclipsrs look and sound like crazy sales people.
At first Bleu de Chanel was quite repeling to me, later on I tried it on a skin, and then I found out how beutiful it is. My No. 1 for couple years now.
Blind testing does not lie. It revealed a strong preference for one over the other without name brand recognition or hype. Now, understand that for the person buying and wearing the fragrance, the name brand recognition and hype actually affects their appreciation of the smell. It is called sensory bias, as in audio products, the better looking and more expensive one will always do better in sighted testing, but not necessarily in blind testing.
Just a science lesson :) love the concept of this video, keep 'em coming.
I have a couple of questions:
1. We apply perfumes on fabric and skin, both on which they develop differently. Do these strips even translate their aroma?
2. How quickly did you hand them the strips after spraying them? because different timings would give different scents of the perfumes. Are they smelling top tones, the hearty tones or the base tones?
3. Can this format be adjusted to skin scents? as that would showcase their real world usage.
I always am annoyed when the strip is used because the cologne is most times used/worn on human skin or near human skin when the oils mix with the human so it will smell different. This could be argued why the strips are used but is each person smelling the strip at the sams time?
I definitely enjoyed this kinda video. It allows you to experience different perspectives of two awesome colognes. I never tried Dior Sauvage but i was happy to get some reviews on it. I have tried Bleu De Chanel before and it was the only thing i wore for a good while. It was amazing. It's not for everyone and that's ok. You only need to wear a little of it and it lasts most of the day.
The great thing about sauvage isn’t the smell right after you spray it on a paper sample. It’s the Drydown after a couple of hours and the sillage when you walk by. Trust me it smells awesome and it just works. 99% of all normal non perfume people just love this smell
Which Sauvage? EDT, EDP, Parfum or Elixir? I find Parfum just ok, but love Elixir and EDP. All three smell incredibly different on my skin.
Edt smells the best imo and has very strong sillage which I like and want if I spend over 100 for a fragrance.
@@jimlittle5769 EDT
This channel deserves way more than 16k subs. The quality of these videos is crazy
Nice review guys and good to see other people's opinion on fragrances. I personally own both and enjoy both but I will have to say I've received slightly more compliments with Dior Sauvage. Keep up the great content!
Shout out from Costa Rica
The guy that didn't like the Dior salvage is the guy that doesn't wear no fragrance what kind of panel is this
I have both fragrances, and I love both of them, on a side note. I was once wearing Chanel bleu at an “Alton Towers” amusement park and as a lady bent down to buckle me in my seat, paid me a huge compliment to the way I smelt (all whilst my girlfriend was sitting beside me) 😳 awkward 😑
Which Chanel concentration was it?
I think smelling it on a person and seeing a person would really change their responses
I've worn both with EDP concentration. Get more complement with BDC than DS. In the end, it's your skin that makes it up or down.
"It smells like listerine" Do I have the job as a pro test smeller?
- Mmmm, no.
This video proves wear what you like. One of them said sauvage is a subtle one compared to Bdc. Moreover, how the scent reacts on ones skin is subjective. So take with a grain of salt.
Wow, they all went for DIOR hahaha i've tried the 2 and CHANEL always gets the most compliments from women....TRESSA is on spot!
I love knowing which people do or don’t enjoy a scent that I’ve worn. At least there is one!
Idk why ppl are getting upset by their reaction, at least it looks genuine. Someone even had the same idea of BdC I had, it is a definition of perfume. It smells exactly what a perfume should smell. Also Tressa has a very good nose overall, not only in this video but her reactions is mostly on point.
This video is a solid blow to my current fragrance stash _and_ my wallet, as I literally *just* bought my first bottle of Bleu de Chanel last week. 😒
Fragrances are all subjective. For what it is worth Courtney and I both are team Chanel.
Thanks for the reply and the confidence boost, you two! I was mostly joking if you couldn’t tell; at the end of the day, I bought my bottle of Chanel because it was the scent I liked the most out of what I tried at Ulta that night - and it has a solid enough reputation where maybe not everyone will agree and think it smells nice on me, but a large amount of people will. My comment more-so came in response to this weird coincidence that keeps happening where the RUclips algorithm likes to show me videos that try to make me regret a recent purchase (same thing happened after I got a new guitar pedal). Lol
When you drop 100$ on cologne but the average person prefers Nautica Voyage LMAO
its just random people smell paper, if you buy fragrance because of what others will say you will always waste money. get what you like and enjoy it. PS bleu > savage and its not even close
You will not be disappointed! It's a masterpiece!
I like your editing on these videos! Shows me exactly what I want to see in the moment. Nice job.
Great format etc., but that is one hallow victory for Dior because aside from a couple people, the take away was no one liked either fragrance, they were just choosing the one they disliked the least…
To me a fragrance is about how it makes me feel. It's as much about the presentation and feel of the bottle as it is about the smell. I don't care what others think of it. It's a confidence thing and that's in the end the most important factor in social dynamics especially for men.
I agree with you that all that matters is what you think. When it comes to the bottles, that is more of retail positioning and how brands can get you to walk out of the store or checkout online with their product. Once I acquire a fragrance the bottle doesn’t hold much weight on if I decide I want to wear it anymore. All this considered, it is still interesting to see what others think in a blind format in my opinion. The wearer can decide how much weight they want to put on that.
Im starting to get into fragrances and i got my bottle of Bleu de chanel EDP yesterday. I don’t hate it but it’s going to have to take some time for me to love it. That being said I’m still happy made the purchase. *That Scarface shirt on that girl is awesome *.
The more you wear it the more you’ll like it. I’m wearing the edp right now
Bleu de Chanel EDP was good 4 years ago, now it's shit. Chanel cut costs and makes these fragrances weak, chemical water. Try finding a vintage bottle somewhere if you'd like to compare.
@@rafadydkiemmacha7543 🙄
@@Let_it_burn_0 well, I will take it as a disagreement. This is very sad to me that these companies can get away with such a low quality. Turns out perfume is placebo for most people, because I don't believe otherwise these reformulations would have been tolerated by so many.
@@rafadydkiemmacha7543 placebo wtf lmao ok little fella
I like this format, quick and really insightful
Glad you enjoyed it, Miguel. We were surprised by the end result. We can do more in the future!
I second that! Not to mention I love Sauvage and was considering getting Bleu de Chanel once it ran out so this comparison could not have been timed better! Cheers
@Baldassarre Fragrance Glad you guys made a fragrance channel. Just started dipping my toes on fragrances while in isolation due to COVID-19. Avid fan of the watch channel, would love to see a video matching watches to fragrances in the future.
Today, I had the opportunity to smell both the Dior Sauvage EDP and the Chanel EDP while I was at Neiman Marcus. I went home with Chanel.
I don't see how these results can be accurate. Lol. Two of the most important scents in fragrance history. Love em both.
I can confirm these are were all genuine. When you’re in a niche space you get out of touch with the reality of the world and their understanding of your interest.
@Baldassarre Fragrance Oh I wasn't questioning them being genuine. I just know how beloved those fragrances are by most people. It's all subjective though. Even though I appreciate certain niche fragrances, I'm a designer person. Thanks for the video. I've been enjoying them.
These are great reviews! Thanks for doing this! But on the flip side it would be interesting to see fragrances rated from the skin and not a piece of paper.
I just can’t…great Concept but you need a new group of testers. Keep toboggan girl and fire everyone else.
Did someone call Chanel listerine? 🤦
There's a reason it's the most popular, not just marketing, something magical about Dior Sauvage for me.
Im in love with this channel and love this kind of videos. Keep up the good job
I have had sauvage EDP for couple years. My bottle is running out so I'm thinking about getting EDT. I wonder if I should stick with EDP or challenge myself with EDT.
Dior Sauvage is my Signature scent. I also use the Elixir & After shave in the same line.
Green hat is the only one with any flavor. I have Sauvage but Chanel Bleu is definitely smoother and more sensual. Will be adding Bleu to my collection soon.
Also when you spray the paper fan it for a second or so. It takes away the initial alcohol smell.
I have the bleu de channel parfum and perfer it over the sauvage, there both great but the sauvage has more projection outwards but the channel will pull someone in and have them mesmerized
Idea of the most popular releases with not showing fragrance is amazing! I’d love to see the reaction for Aventus. And wanna see reaction Office for Men from Fragrance One. vs Dior Sauvage.
Funny, I don't get "piney/Christmas" vibes at all from Sauvage EDT. Sauvage Elixir on the other hand is literally Christmas in a bottle for men lol.
based on these reviews I realized Bleu de Chanel has the same problem as f.e. ADG Profumo. It's basically incense note. There are of course occasions that this smoky-fresh combination will rock but for indoors/office there is always a risk this will be offensive. That's why most likely such incense frags will loose against such scents like Sauvage, Y EDP, Eros. Those do not have incense or similar offensive notes.
Smelling off a strip smells totally different than smelling off skin. Most of these people don't like any of the fragrances presented to them..but let them smell it on someone in the air and guarantee their opinions change.
They do not like any fragrances lol. I mean rating a Chanel fragrance as cheap and something you would buy in a drug store? Yeah.
If you’re someone who is looking to buy either of these scents, don’t listen to the opinions of these testers. I’d guess that if they smelled them on a person walking past, they’d notice AND like both.
I will admit that I didn’t like the Sauvage (Parfum) at first. Took me a few goes, and now I love it as much as BDC (Parfum).
Scripted, goofy, wannabe clever, comments. Terribly disrispectful to those amazing brands.
I’ve watched about 4 of these videos and they seem to never like ANYTHING rather it’s an expensive or designer fragrance. I’d love to know what they actually have in their fragrance collection they ACTUALLY like
they strike me as people who shower once a week, so they obviously have no experience with frags!
I'm so shocked. I must not know anything about men's fragrance either because the first time I smelled Sauvage, I walked around a grocery store until I found the guy wearing it so I could ask what it was. Even now if I catch a whiff I just stop for a moment and breath it in.
Tell em
I really life this style of video because it gives me a better idea about what other people think. Rather than someone who is already very knowledgeable about the different kinds of fragrances out there. Plus the more opinions there are, the more believable the end result. I own Sauvage but I didn't expect the responses at all. It seemed to me like they only chose that because BdC wasn't as good. Maybe its time for me to get a new one.
Got a bottle of Dior sauvage for Xmas yesterday
What kind of Christmas that guy smelled lol xD 😆?? Anyway I am surprised that sauvage kicked out bleu de chanel so easily. I expected something more like 50/50 with the preferences.
Younger people seem to prefer the smell of sauvage over bdc, as bdc is a more mature sent. They should have different age groups rating these fragrances to get a little more diverse opinions. This group tends to agree on everything
Great perfect video non bias just straight honesty. I personally bought the Dior Savage because it smells good and is long lasting just like the classic colognes that have stood the time.
You should have filmed their reactions afterwards when you tell tehm what fragrances were and see them surprised that it was Dior and Chanel since many of them said they smell genric and cheap :D would have loved to see that
Watched coupe videos from this channel now. Well done content. But these people must have no experience with fragrances, probably never wore one? Feels like most of em are just there to bash. These two are two most mass appealing ones on the market... I can get it when they dont like niche ones. They were difficult for me as well when I started my journey... The girl with the yellow wool hat is the one I can take serious... She is not just there "to be different"...
I think some people are so overwhelmed by the notes opening that they cant truly smell it, just like when I first tried whiskey I could not taste its age, and now that I am more used to it, I can taste the difference because the shock of the burn and harshness of the alcohol no longer masks the notes.
I wear once savage and give me the most crazy allergy reaction, happy just was sample from mall , definitely blue and egoist platinum is for me.
I love all the hate savauge gets and yet people always like it when they smell it blind. I like them both but this was fun to watch
It's the hate any popular item gets from snobby people who love to signal the world they have original taste.
That one gentlemen is literally obsessed with Christmas😂😂
Facts 😂😂 ain’t no way sauvage give Christmas vibes like WHATTT?
@@lamarhill7487 exactly what I was thinking 😂
Bleu de Chanel for me, good thing Tressa picked that one 😆
Tressa has a good nose. But hey, there's a reason why Sauvage gets more compliments. It's just super strong. People live in big cities and are exposed to strong smells every day. So a lot of us probably have a weaker sense of smell due to it. I had to laugh when one of them described Sauvage as "lighter" than Bleu de Chanel. I can get why she's saying Sauvage smells like a pine tree. It has some similarities.
Teddy, I had no idea that you had a fragrance channel. I have the Dior. It gets better the longer you wear it.
Love the format !
Thanks . . . we need more of these.
Thanks for sharing XD
I'd be interested in a video on men's fragrances that women can also wear. I've heard that Bleu de Chanel Perfum and Dior Savage Elixir are amazing on women.
I have both fragrance. I would preferred Dior for most time.
Having Johnny marketing Dior would be icing on the cake.
This is why you really should test on skin. They are essentially right because the opening on both are a bit harsh but the dry downs on skin and clothing are the money makers.
Everyone loves Sauvage. I went to the store, smelled it, tried it on and I really didnt like it. Over rated but good on Dior for the great marketing on it
Where did you find these people
I find myself agreeing with Tressa almost all the time so it's funny that she was the only one who selected my personal favorite. She's the only one who does it right IMO.
Love this series. This should be shown to marketing students to show the power of perception v reality. As a sneaker head also, this is like the manufactured hate of Nike Air Jordan Mids.
I can understand the Christmas reaction. Everyone is wearing fragrance around the holidays, and blue scents are popular.
Smelling fragrances from piece of paper is a sacrilege. 😜
What a beating. When bleu came out on the market "was the king" 👑
And 5 years later sauvage dethroned him. Now if you want a blue fragrance the best option is sauvage or ysl y edp cause they last long and have a good price.
What you could do is, after a year of this series, you could make a video to summarize the most popular group picks. Maybe just in time for the holiday season.
Where did they find these people. I'm not sure they're human 😕
They are morons for sure
I got that edt Chanel De Bleu, or Blue and if you can handle some serious strong sexy scent, and to try something different and at the same time challenging than you win ,if you can't and think this is not a best scent then it's someone's loss. Gaspard Ulliel was promote Bleu De Chanel perfume it was great experience to watch. And to think to buy it it is very difficult for me, but I did buy it and I don't regret.
NEED MORE OF THESE VIDEOS - Much better / practical than getting the "expert" opinion
Love these Group videos but feel like you should have the strips ready ahead of time so they arent getting just the strong top... at least a few minutes. And tell them not to bury their noses in the strip, but have them wave it close by their nose instead. Just some thoughts. Loving the channel and the high quality of your videos.
Love this style of video !
Appreciate the content
The descriptions of Sauvage are truly puzzling.
I'm loving your new channel, but I would have like to see you reveal the fragrance to your test-subjects to see their reaction. Also, I think it would look better on screen if you sat closer to each other.
We will do reveals going forward. We shot five in the first shoot and some of the later ones in the shoot we did a reveal on what one they liked more. We will have to get new chairs also given we use two mics there is interference if we both talk at the same time. Distancing helps that but we can improve it for sure. Thank you for watching and the encouragement.
@@BaldassarreFragrance Thanks for the clarification, I’ve done audio for my Church and know it can be a real challenge. I hope I didn’t come across as too critical, I know this is a new channel. It's just as fiancées it looks a bit odd not being closer.
By the way congrats on your engagement you two make an adorable couple. Christine gives me hope that there are still good down-to-earth women out there. Ones that want a partner and are more lovely on the inside than out.
It would be nice to know which version of the perfume you’re testing, e.g. edt, edp, parfum, or elixir.
Judging by the bottles both are edts
Great point and observation!
Have you tried Prada Luna Rossa Carbon?
It’s a really smooth mature Sauvage with the Lavender notes.
