Thank you Justin! “I launched Andraus Parfums because I wanted to work on signature fragrances with Master Perfumers and separate from my Hieroglyphs collection. I’m happy you’re enjoying”
So I've been going through your back catalog, and honestly kind of binging on it. I must say, you are on your way to becoming my favorite reviewer brotha! If not there already. Not the same ol' same top 10's all the time, and I like that a lot! Thanks for the great reviews, and content. ✌️
Dior Fahrenheit Le Parfum is a masterpiece. I'll have to stock up on this because it might get discontinued or reformulated soon seeing Dior's recent insane business strategy. I never want to run out of this juice.
Thanks for the candid expression of your experience. I myself realized when I began collecting that these scents have an expiry date. And they do change over time even if stored properly. That being said, I’m down to about a half dozen - 2 for the day and rest for the evenings/night. Take care and hope to see you again brother. Never forget that you’ve got some amazing presentation skills. Most talented. Cheers!!!
I like this style of video. I like unique scents that stand out, some unique scents are very appealing too. Tiziana terenzi spirito fiorentino is one that about nobody wears but wears so beautifully on my skin and hasn't gotten me a ton of compliments, but has gotten me a few and definitely makes you stand out. Nasomatto black afgano is another one of my favorites that stand out. Wholly kaw makes some unique scents that stand out. Wholly kaw vor v, king of oud and king of bourbon. All are very strong and work extremely well! Nishane b-612, it's definitely unique, will stand out from the crowd and brings something new to the table that has definitely wowed me. 2 that I would hold at the top of my list is ex nihilo amber sky and 19-69 Chinese tobacco
LOVE Brivido. I don’t get too much green on my skin, just that beautiful creamy leather, with the slight sweetness. It’s an amazing, great quality fragrance.
JC!! Thanks for always bringing us new and different frags but some of those frags should come with a warning label!! I'm waiting on Tabac to arrive but Boundless is pretty nice!! Keep up the great work Young King!!
Thank you George! Andraus Parfums Heavenly Place is inspired by my country Guatemala, the culture, the best cardamom in the world and the collaboration with Master Perfumer Patrick Bodifee. Guatemalan artistry with modern perfumery
I hate the smell of licorice but I love L' Heure Verte. This is the kind of scent that got me into the niche fragrances game, when they take something you don't like a make it beautiful it's mind blowing
I love that shirt brother... 👌👌👌Colour suits you just great...... Thanks for another insightful video... You and Ross... Are really the two best imo..... Keep up the great effort you put in...... Highly appreciated.. 👏🙏🇳🇦
Argos bottles are simply amazing! I love the attention to detail. I purchased a couple samples and even the cards the fragrance came in were very well designed.
After 6 minutes, very interesting video, Justin. Samy Andraus is polite and a great Mexican fragrance reviewer (and he's perfumer too. Not available in Europe without dealing with customs. A pity, I do not like to deal with Customs. They are "authority", do you know?. You have some days to fix the possible problems or your order is sent back to the seller. No way!. I have many possible options, future buys on my market. Spanish Customs can do it better. We are a HUB among continents and cultures. I'll keep on watching till the end. Have a nice day!.
That description of the #1 ranked Argos made me think of how Hibiscus Mahajad is one of the most unique scents I've tried in the past year. Green, earthy rose. I'm surprised you didn't include Enclave.
Frederic Malle - French Lover (always gotten a compliment on this one, from friends, from family, from strangers). This one gets a compliment every single time I wear it. It has a 100% compliment success rate. Longevity is terrible and in 2 hours it becomes a skin scent but for the first two hours it is heavenly. Given the longevity and sillage performance this is definitely over priced, but there is nothing like it that I have smelled that I would rather wear with a suit and tie or tux or a jacket on a night out.
@@stayfreshproductions It is. Out of the 70 bottles I own, and going forward I will only keep 18 bottles max in life as it is not the best way to spend money. I saw your video on the hobby and the rabbit hole it is. Any how, French Lover is in my must have class-yourself-up perfumes. The others being Layton Exclusif, Derby and Royal Oud. Derby initial notes give you the similar spicy cologne vibes from the 80's and 90's but the dry down is where this one truly shines. I can't stop smelling myself once it dries down. If you're ever in Chicago, you're welcome to stop by and check out my collection.
I put my nose on the entire Argos collection at the time and my favs Triumph of Bacchus & Brivido Della Caccia. Ended up buying Brívido but thay are all AMAZING. Regards Justin my friend 😎
Great video and recs J.C.! For the past couple of months on my fragrance journey, I've personally been looking for fragrances that are: darker, woodier, incense, or the complete opposite direction in florals that are tolerable for my own own personal taste. Really wanting to find stuff that stands out and challenges myself. I own most from your list, and have to say your descriptions were on point 👌 Keep up the great work and stay safe! Dare to be daring! - Jose from San Diego
Hi Justin I'm flying out to Central Africa for a wedding in the summer and I'm looking for some recommendation. I'm looking for some fragrances that last long in a hot/sweaty climate. Thx
I have a strange request, and hopefully your experience can guide me in the right direction. Is there a fragrance that smells the way dr.pepper tastes or smells?
I need some friends like your friends that can comp me a bottle either that or buy some winning lottery tickets. But I enjoyed the video overall. Don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before I reside in Northern Virginia outside of Washington DC we get all four seasons here would be nice to find something with Goode projection that can be worn all year around open to suggestions
Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme aka "The Swiss Army Knife of frags" is a common and popular choice in the fragrance community that checks all the boxes and is extremely versatile. My personal recommendation that I refer people to others was a blind buy from AC at Smells Good. Something that won't break the bank and is not well known is Rasasi Al Wissam Day ($50-$70). A beautiful Creed Silver Mountain Water Clone at a fraction of the cost. Hope it helps and Good luck on your journey 👌
Hi Justin! Very enjoyable video, totally agree with overture and boundless. Id like to thank you for the recommendation of halfeti cedar, got it yesterday and its gorgeous, kinda reminds me a little of diaghilev with that peachy vibe! Keep going with great content, greetings
I couldn’t stand the absinthe in the Kilian’s L'Heure Verte. At first it hit me as unique, but then it hung around long enough it became repugnant and with a high performing longevity, that’s a tough combo to take.
Hi Justin - hot video and I can say that Roja Fetish is a great fragrance. I had a number of ladies smelling it on me when I discovered it at Harrods. And they all liked it and thought I was crazy which made them crack up. Also I'd wear that with either my dinner suit or normal business suit.
I always laugh out loud when someone says “this is a fragrance for a refined gentleman”. It’s just so silly and ridiculous. For example, I love and routinely wear Mousse Illuminee. I don’t dress up in order to wear it. I have worn it outdoors while wearing an old comfortable t-shirt, shorts, and Converse sneakers. I've also worn it to work wearing a button down shirt and jeans. And one thing I could care less for is to be thought of is a “refined gentleman”. Don’t fall for the ridiculous “this is a fragrance for a refined gentleman’ comments. Wear what you like and when you want to wear it.
Wow, you can review and provide your negative or positive opinion on a fragrance, but you’re easily offended when someone disagrees with you. Got it, when you post fragrance reviews you only expect and want compliments.

Rockin the OG Fahrenheit today
I love Boundless, its everything I once expected from Spicebomb extreme and more, and fighting for the best tobacco fragrance with Herod
Such a refreshing perspective in the fragrance community
Thanks Lawrence

Thanks Michael, take care

Got a decant of Boundless last month and it’s def one of my favorites from the house. Gonna have to get a bottle when I run out lol

I could have included at least 63 other fantastic fragrances alongside Enclave, but the video would be…a little long. 👌🏾
bro great videos,,al the time..may god bless you always,,
I was wearing all of these.. Until this video.. Now all the guys are gonna wear this fucking up my game. Thanks!!

Thank you Jose!
Great video man! You need to drop the work out routine 💪
Haha! Thanks Ian.
I would love to see Grace’s reactions to these.
Me too!
I really come to love Jet Set!!!! Its a really underrated Fragrance!
A few I definitely need to get samples of
You said Grace doesn't really care for Declaration Parfum,so in that case would you still wear it around her???
Yes! I just make sure it’s been an hour or so since I’ve sprayed it when I see her
Thanks for another great video!!!
Thank you!
Hi Justin I'm flying out to Central Africa for a wedding in the summer and I'm looking for some recommendation. I'm looking for some fragrances that last long in a hot/sweaty climate. Thx
Hello! Check out Roja Oligarch. It’s fresh and distinctive, but strong!
@@stayfreshproductions thanks bro 👍🏽
Justin have you tried anything from Zoologist? I feel like what they set out to achieve and how they do it is so up your alley.
I've tried a few! Don't own any yet.
Beautiful list
Thank you!
Do you have a video on how to roll up your sleeves?
I don't have a video on that. But I'll have to cover it in an upcoming video.
@@stayfreshproductions Nice. I just can't roll it up just below the elbows like you do. Maybe because I'm skinny.
What? Fahrenheit Parfum has been discontinued? Since when? Where did that come from? It's still on their website now.
It’s only what I heard.
I have a strange request, and hopefully your experience can guide me in the right direction.
Is there a fragrance that smells the way dr.pepper tastes or smells?
I have yet to experience that.
Very Nice Justin Brother Guy!!!! Lol

Great video. I love Fetish. I am amazed that many do not. I must have that particular gene so to speak.
Thank you! Fetish is awesome.

Thanks Clifton!
Argos sounds like a good house with some solid fragrances.
For sure.
I couldn’t stand the absinthe in the Kilian’s L'Heure Verte. At first it hit me as unique, but then it hung around long enough it became repugnant and with a high performing longevity, that’s a tough combo to take.
I really enjoy it. It can definitely be a lot to smell up close all day, but it makes for a beautiful bubble.
Haha I see u used Don Draper for the Jet Set reference!
NICE LIST. I'm thinking about getting into Argos, what's your top three from the house?
My current top 3
1. Triumph of Bacchus
2. Brivido della Caccia
3. Danaë
@@stayfreshproductions +1 to those 3.
Since when is Fahrenheit le parfum discontinued?
I don't know exactly when. It's been at least a few years.
Hi Justin - hot video and I can say that Roja Fetish is a great fragrance. I had a number of ladies smelling it on me when I discovered it at Harrods. And they all liked it and thought I was crazy which made them crack up. Also I'd wear that with either my dinner suit or normal business suit.
Wouldn't It be brilliant, If there was a Sample Set of your fragrances you are reviewing - i would Take It at once
Boundless over materia?
They are different personalities, and both of them are great.
Those Frames Are Crazy 😧😧
Thank you!
there's that Decleration parfum again 🤣🤣 you're not wrong tho
Right?!
Samy andraus makes some real banger fragrances
Thank you Vlad Cirstea i wanted to make something unique and it was the opportunity to work with a great Perfumer
thx
Italian here, brivido della caccia's literal translation is "Shiver of the hunt"
Hello, JUSTIN. Aylabyu
I always laugh out loud when someone says “this is a fragrance for a refined gentleman”. It’s just so silly and ridiculous.
For example, I love and routinely wear Mousse Illuminee. I don’t dress up in order to wear it. I have worn it outdoors while wearing an old comfortable t-shirt, shorts, and Converse sneakers. I've also worn it to work wearing a button down shirt and jeans. And one thing I could care less for is to be thought of is a “refined gentleman”.
Don’t fall for the ridiculous “this is a fragrance for a refined gentleman’ comments.
Wear what you like and when you want to wear it.
🤣
Take a breath bud
Wow, you can review and provide your negative or positive opinion on a fragrance, but you’re easily offended when someone disagrees with you. Got it, when you post fragrance reviews you only expect and want compliments.
I think Fetish is more referring to Fetish oaths etc. It's exoticism. I'd have to ask my cousin who is a historian.
thanks immensly for another great review, you are very inspiring,,,say hi to your gorgeous fiance,,,,
Me: spend a $300 on showstopper niche fragrance .
