Oud Minerale is unlike any aquatic I’ve ever smelled. For me it’s reminiscent of my best days in the Navy. People hate it because it’s so unique, but if you’ve ever spent any real time out in the ocean it’s pretty spot on. 10/10
Is it actually similar to amouroud wet stone? If you've smelled it. Big fan of wet stone.
I’m 200 percent with you pal, my wife thinks it’s ok… never got a compliment, but man does it truly have the best true salt water feel… and also the smell of hot sand… to me reminds me of learning to surf in Hawaii
@@TheLK157I learned how to surf in Hawaii too! Small world.😅
would you say it has a slight gunsmoke or gasoline smell?? I still haven't smelled it and your comment and all the comments below has really piqued my interest in it now.
First spray I did not like Oud Minerale but after it dried down i started to like it more. On skin it was even better. I'm finding I'm not a big fan of the sharpness of Oud, but this is the best one I've found so far.
I agree that Oud Minerale is the same as before. Though I tend to think of it more as a clean daytime scent, more than night. Works amazing on a spring day/rainy day. Strangely alluring. Fresh water over moss covered stones is what I get.
Wow! I wear OM on rainy Sundays.
Loved this video and would love to see this as a series. It’s difficult to keep up with the sheer volume of new fragrance releases so this is a nice way to find out what’s new as well as get your trusted opinion
Love the new approach! Also love that i caught this!
Ive taken a pause from acquiring new fragrances in order to wear and love my existing collection, which is close to 100 bottles and 100 decants.
Scent of the day is Gravitas by Naughton and Wilson.
Definitlety a good decision! the urge to allways find a new dopamine rush buying a new perfume has no end! Focus on real qualitative perfumes, and run away from overhyped (not really) "niche" brands.
Yes! Guerlain’s Vetiver Parfum takes the classic in a sweet-incensey direction which is full bottle worthy. Delphine knocked it out of the park again!
Living vicariously through you here J. About to reach for Oud Minerale Tomorrow tho
Hallelujah! You've addressed the same issue I have with Valentino. They used to represent the epitome of elegance, sadly no longer so.
Enjoyed this one, thanks Justin
Awesome video style. I appreciate the balance of positivity and truth!
Not every fragrance is a 10/10 like many reviewers would have you think.
Keep it up!
I appreciate that!
Great video and I enjoyed it and I like Tom Ford oud mineral and I'm going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed day
Great video, nice format.
DO you by chance have a video that covers the various "kinds" of scents and your favorites from each of those kind? I would like to have a more diverse collection and find that I order a lot of recommended scents to find they are very simular to other scents.
I do!

Love it! The only one I tried and was amazed by it is the Oud Mineral. Love the ambery undertones, not sure if I would be getting a bottle soon, but its surely on the list! I did also smell one of the 5 Valentino Born in Roma about a year ago, I think it was the Yellow one, not bad but not too moving. My problem with the originals is that there is just too much vanilla for my taste. The others I'll check out especially the lalique, Prada and the Geurlain.
Great job Justin
I appreciate your efforts
No idea why people fight about not doing many reviews of fragrances you don't like.
What's the point? There are too many fragrances out there, you don't have enough time to try them all and review them all, so it makes sense to review what you like.
Also, liking a scent is subjective, everyone has a different opinion.
Just do what you do.
The haters think it feeds into their confirmation biases about reviewers being paid off.
@@burner27well, they are being paid in cash and in-kind for their reviews so it’s a small leap to get to that conclusion. If they are negative, it’s detrimental to the brand and then to the reviewer. So they are fully incentivized to be positive. It’s why every niche is great and designers, who rarely pay smaller channels, sometimes get negative reviews.
@thejuiceloosener150 and the proof of this is where exaclty?
@@jnb22019proof that they have partnerships and receive free bottles? I mean reviewers don’t even deny that. Why do you think they have discount codes, affiliate links and (sometimes) disclose free bottles? Just for fun? Asking for proof to supplement your ignorance is what children do, sport.
Great video J
Appreciate it bro
Kenzo Homme Marine is 🔥. Several complements at the grocery store when wearing it. Really enjoy that one
Indigo is nice. I’ll admit I was extremely underwhelmed when I first tried it, but have since grown to enjoy it. Very subtle, and unique. Not a projector, so I spray more liberally.
I gotta agree with you regarding the Valentino line. I love Valentino Uomo Intense and it really made me explore other Iris scents. The turn they did with the line is dissappointing for me but I do see others who love the recent releases so I guess from a business standpoint, it was right for them.
Agreed with Uomo from valentino, green stravaganza it's not a WOW fragrance but when i smelled it it somehow reminded me of a fresh fragrance, also i thought i would see paradise garden somehow, it surely is a fresh scent but it almost kinda smell of freshly cut grass
If youre a fan of the line, the lhomme ideal parfum is really great. For reference, edt is my favorite in the line, but have them all and like them all alot. The parfum is truly a richer deeper version of the original. But, the habit rouge parfum is a mindblower - if you enjoy that line at all. My two cents.
I recently sampled these and agree. I own and love EDT, and the Parfum is great. But the real show stopper was Habit Rouge Parfum.
Good to know!
I'd like to see more of this series.
Great video. Excellent quality
Much appreciated!
The Valentino smells so good i understand if you don’t like it but it’s one of the best perfume we women we like the smells
I don’t dislike it. It smells good. It just smells like thousands of other fragrances.
Hi J.C. 🤘 I Only Have Tom Ford Oud Mineral From This Review And I Am Absolutely Under Strong TF Spell Here ❣️ Definitely My Best Pick Up So Far This Year 😉 Super Curious About New Guerlain Vetiver ❤
Have the original Desir Toxic, don't need the new one. Recently bought a bunch of samples which included African Leather, Ganymede, Ombre Leather Parfum, but Oud Minerale was my favorite. My bottle should be arriving today from FB, which coupled with watching this video is very fitting, can't wait!
Wow, we have very similar tastes. Green Stravaganza didn't impress me either, it's an "ok" fragrance at best for me. When I first tried it on a tester strip, I thought wow I really like this. But then wearing the sample changed my opinion completely
pick up the pink valentino with the long name and on fist spray it wasnt bad, but I really cant smell in the air ,on my clothes or skin and when I dig my nose into it I smell something but its very vague, I'm gonna try to over spraying it in my car in August so may itll be useful as an air freshener .
Guerlain's Vetiver Parfum is my SOTD. Picked up a decant to try it out. I also sprayed one spot of Chanel's Sycomore on my skin to see how they compare. I wasn't excited by the way the Guerlain started off, but after about 15-20 minutes found it was a nice sent. My preference is for Sycomore, though I'm not sure how to describe the difference between the two fragrances. By memory, since I'm not wearing it, I would say that I also prefer Masque Milano's (Homage to) Hemingway over the Guerlain. That's not say I don't like it. It's just that Sycomore and Hemingway seem to have more of a presence (I'm sure there's a better way to describe it). I have a few more wears out of the decant, so I'll get a better feel for Vetiver Parfum.
I absolutely love the parfum, personally. I love the line though, original and extreme. But the parfum has that smooth rich depth.
Apparently the intense version of Desirtoxic, is way more powerful, and projects way more, so perhaps the intense is in regards to the performance not so much scent idk, how do you find its strength? I love the original because its strong but with intimate sillage.
I sampled desirtoxic intense, really enjoyed it. I like mint so this would be the choice. Sounds like I don't need both.
I was entertained!
Gotta say I love ocean lp. I don’t get basic at all
Oud Mineral is sweet. I mixed it with Creed Original Vetiver, & the combo was amazing!! I don’t think Oud Mineral has vetiver, but they have some similarities.
I like this kind of video... Just feels like we're hanging out and smelling stuff together... 🎉
Have you tried osaïto? I was thinking of getting Desirtoxic. I just got osaito and love it.
I have it! Good one.
Yes, make series
Hi Justin, always one of the person I like too see some videos.
My take on "negative" review videos : Influencer shouldn't necessarily make videos of parfumes they don't like but more about overhyped fragrances that are sh...t technically and overpriced and that just doesn't deserve the hype. If influencers elevate their knowledge, so they can help their audience to elevate theirs too.
Just an example : Oud for Greatness is a joke. Not talking about the scent here anybody can love it with I am good with that. But is technically BS, no oud in it, very synthetic. Social media hyping it... but influencers probably never smell real oud! Just go smell The Night by Frédéric Malle or the recent Ruade from Parfum d'Empire to smell what a good oud is. And here is what's interesting : I wouldn't wear any of these 2 cause I find those too chalenging. But I can talk about the technicality of the perfumer and here is 2 really good interpretations of Middle East.
Social media & tiktokers MUST elevate they knowledge about what true perfumery is si their audience will be more aware of what good perfumery is!
I completely agree with you!
Oud Minerale is a stunner
My thought about green stravaganza is that the coffee note overpowers everything else to me
I'm digging the video and list Justin, STAY SAFE BROTHER. SOTD MIMOSA INDIGO BY ATELIER COLOGNE
Couldn’t agree more about the BIR line. They all smell nice, but are way too sweet for my tastes.
I really enjoy Luna Rossa Le Parfum. I'd give it a 7.75, 8 at most
I am also of the opinion that Sultan Vetiver and Guerlain Vetiver Parfum share quite some similarities.
Have both, like both.
If you guys didn’t have either/ could only choose one, which would it be of the two?
@@dasjazz09 I cannot yet say, need to compare them face to face this weekend.
The Sultan Vetiver is greener, denser and more "oriental", the Vetiver Parfum is more citric and a bit "lighter" in my opinion.
Thanks 🙏🏼
Persoally, I prefer Prada's Ocean edP, just a little more flexible than Parfum (imho). But I smelled Oud Minerale (as I am newly exploring the TF space) and I have to say I quite like it. I'm always in favor it "flexible" fragrances, and OM can just about do it all.
Cope, I don’t know why other Fragrance Reviewers even try- you and Ross are clearly the best. Pulling for you to hit 100K subscribers by the end of summer. Honestly, I couldn’t tell a big difference from your usual videos that you just “winged” it. Be well!
I don’t like oud minerale, smells a little off… I do like Widian luban !
More raw reviews please?
green stravaganza is the 2ns best one in the whole uomo line i dont find it to be that bubblegum juvenile like you said about the line its fine its not amazing its an average fragrance
I had the same take on Greenstravaganza (what a terrible name). All of the Romas are just different flavors of candy. Intense is the only one with character to me. Sad that they took Uomo from a Dior Homme Intense competitor, to fighting with annual JPG flankers. I really did not like Vetiver when I tried it years ago because of how fresh and grassy it was. Comparing it to Sultan Vetiver piqued my interest. I like that stanky Haitian vetiver.
And as far as negativity in reviews, I can see there being some merit to it just to counter the corporate marketing machines. They are inundating us with claims that their new overpriced designer flankers will summon cherubs from heaven to guide us into ecstasy. Criticism of using pseudo-grass roots influencers to push false reviews is a valid concern. We should not be complacent about disingenuous content unless we want to proliferate it.
Negativity is honesty? Need not be; I'd say always being positive is either dishonest or extremely selective while being in a situation where it is possible to be that selective. Which is also a bit dishonest because most people won't get it that that is very situational. I think the word of the day would be indifferent. The opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference. What I find rather ironic is that while a lot of people try hard to push everything away from the word "negative" (and thus often towards the "positive") the end result of that seems to be that the elimination of things people might dislike leaves generic products that leave people indifferent. Honestly, I view forced positivity as something really bad and unnatural. On the other hand, negativity for the sake of drama and entertainment... no need. There are better forms of entertainment.
Interesting…prioritizing the positive will only lead to people talking about generic products? Is that purely true across the board?
4:36 this needs to be said way more often, off-topic : same opinion on the uomo 😅
I don't think you necessarily have to be negative to be honest but it's seems a little disingenuous when a lot of reviewers get a new fragrance and it's an automatic "panty drop, lady killer, etc". Even when it's a series of flankers, somehow the new version is always better then the last version.
Give Asad Zanzibar a chance
I don't like the new Valentino. It smells very strange to me.
When it comes to Valentino i completely disregard all their offerings except for Uomo edt & Uomo Intense. Everything Else in that Line is absolutely utterly generic and boring
Here is the thing. If all these companies hear "O this fragrance is great," how will they ever improve? How will they evolve? Honest criticism is the only way. You don't have to be mean about it. You handled it perfectly.
L’Oréal ruins every fragrance brand they get a hold of 😢
I smelled the new Valentino, and it smells like sauvage, and every other fragrance in that category. Hard pass for me.
Ocean Parfum has absolutely terrible performance and nothing summery about it.
I think the reason there is no "negative" reviews
Is because most reviewers are sponsored / getting free bottles
That could be one reason. But not the only reason.
This was great. Especially since I don't own any of these. Good to hear your thoughts on them before hand. 🫡
Thank you 🙏🏾
Yes please! More of this!! Really liking the 2 minute reviews of recent releases that you have had a chance to test drive. Every month? Every 2 weeks? Yes Please!!! Would much rather listen to your take on any of these vs. a 14 min monotonous take on the latest from XYZ from reviewer xyz.
Thank you!
