Mine was Arabians Tonka and Megamare. Bought bottles and my reaction was meh, but after receiving unreal compliments I revisited them and realized they are masterpieces.
Hi Sebastian, For me it was Ani...a friend sent me a decant. I couldn't understand why this was such a big deal...it was OK...A couple of months later I went back to the decant...and thought OMG! this is amazing. Too funny. It happens. Have a good day.
I experienced this with Diptyque Eau De Minthe. I wasn't impressed with it at first and thought it just smelled like toothpaste or mouthwash, but now I'm wearing it a lot and really enjoying it
Hi Sebastian. My slow to like was Ganymede extrait. At first I couldn’t understand what the purpose of it was when the regular Ganymede was absolutely fine. About 12 months later I suddenly began to appreciate it and how different it was from its original. It was like my nose began to tune into what the perfumer was trying to tell us
Speaking of the new Dior Prives… would love your full review of the 5 new ones plus a comparison to their OGs. I bought the Ambre Nuit Esprit even though it’s not cold enough here yet. It’s like the lovechild of Ambre Nuit + Grand Soir + a dash of Tobacolor. 🥰
Diptyque Eau Nabati for me.. It was an impulse buying just because I fell in love with the bottle. Got home and put the perfume on, and thinking it wasnt good.. But several months later I tried it on again and it really grew on me.
Rien Incense Intese, Kenso Elephant and Electimuss Vanila Edesia were the ones that grew on me, also BR540 not a dislike at first sniff but it took me time to understand and appreciate it. Thanks for the video Sebastian!!!
For me it was two of the M.Micallefs - O’feminin and Ylang in Gold - I thought they are aweful at the first sniff. Later on when I revisited them I truly could not understand how could I dislike these beautiful fragrances. Still don’t understand.
For me it was Sugar Leather by Une Nuit Nomade. I bought it blind, just after the brand pulled out of Bloomingdale's here. At first spray I thought "too much leather". After I ignored it for about a week I tried it again, but sprayed a lot lighter - looooove😅
I had the same experience with Montale’s Wood & spices. Hated it at first until I smelled it on other people, now I really like, not love, it. Two that I hated at first sniff and still can’t stand till this day are Erba Pura and PDM Kalan, just horrible to my nose. I heard it was your birthday, happy birthday to you sir, mine was the 21st. Virgos rule…lol
Hey Sebastian! Hope you enjoyed your birthday! I’ve learned to give fragrances time and if after revisiting them if they still don’t gel with my nose I let them go.
Interlude & Interlude Black Iris for me, when I first started getting into fragrances. Very strong, dark & slightly sharp but I really enjoy both nowadays.
Same with me and imagination. Sprayed it on a test strip and didn’t care for it. Came back to that same test strip the next day and I was amazed. Got a bottle a couple months after that lol
Musc Ravageur was a sweaty homeless man stench to me when I first sprayed it on years ago. Fast forward several years later, and it's now the sexiest vanilla forward fragrance I own.
@@ThePerfumeGuy Oh! Hello there! I hope all is well. I would have to agree with you, and I have been seeking out an original formulation of it to confirm!
I did not like BR540 AT ALL when it first came out. I threw the sample in a drawer, discovered it 8 yrs later and fell in love. Funny how taste changes.
Sometimes I am grateful I dislike a fragrance. I don’t try too hard to like them. It saves me money in the long run. I dislike certain notes and I’m okay with that.
Happened to me with Lune feline, hated it and then 2 years later one day I wanted to smell my sample….sprayed it on and then again the next day, after the third day I bought a bottle.
i didn’t like prada lhomme at first I just didn’t really like the smell but I absolutely love it now it’s probably my favourite designer fragrance I would pay $200+ for it if it was that price
Imagination smells like a designer but even if it does, nothing smells as good as it does which is quite ironic because even with the black tea, most of its notes are common and its borderline basic.. but its really good
I had a similar experience with Imagination, but I know I own a bottle that Im half way through… other ones I can think of was beach hut man and Van Py Rhum.
Mitsouko -- first spray, I hated it. Then I started to love it and now it is my winter signature scent! Oud Silk Mood, still don't like it. Red Tobacco Intense, hoping it will grow on me. Oajan, at first spray I didn't care for it and now I love it. Oud 24 Hours -- growing on me now. Hope I can just buy things I love to save money, lol. But, it may be that the alcohol or whatever is the top of the bottle when they are new are the problem. I finally gave away Oud Silk Mood -- one year in and I still didn't like it. Go figure. I love the MFK Oud, though, love it.
A friend got me mfk gfs to smell, i tried to play it off. 3 months later ordered it and love it. I got fan your flames x blind buy and it grew on me Even naxos grew on me late That’s about it. I seldom start loving a fragrance later.
The bigest change of heart I've ever had with a fragrance was Incident Diplomatique by Jovoy. I used to hate it, I even gave up on the brand and bought a second sample because I'd thought it turned bad. It just stank of disgusting, unwashed men to me, then a year later I really started to enjoy it (the fragrance, not the men haha).

Imagination & MFK GFS were both loves at first sniff for me. And Imagination is one of my most complimented fragrances.
100% agree 👍🏼
Hope you had an amazing birthday, handsome man!!!!😃✨

Ani? Oh no! But awesome you came around to it!! :)
Same here, for me it was due to seasonal issues. Ani performs very well on me in summer, not cold weather
Sometimes we have to give things a chance not just fragrance ❤ great lesson
I experienced this with Diptyque Eau De Minthe. I wasn't impressed with it at first and thought it just smelled like toothpaste or mouthwash, but now I'm wearing it a lot and really enjoying it
MFK Gentle Fluidity is truly great.

Great concept to talk about!
In my case was African leather, at first I thought meeeeeh, after I wore it a few hours I looooved it, and today is one of my fav for sure ❤❤❤
I like African leather. I didn't think it lasted long on my skin though

Tiziana Terenzi Mirach did that for me 😊now I love it
Crystal Saffron was an easy love for me it was definitely love at 1st sniff for me. Love that scent.
For me it was Sugar Leather by Une Nuit Nomade. I bought it blind, just after the brand pulled out of Bloomingdale's here. At first spray I thought "too much leather". After I ignored it for about a week I tried it again, but sprayed a lot lighter - looooove😅
Happy Birthday Sebastian 🎉

Love Matier premier fragrances !
They are quite good, aren’t they?
@@ThePerfumeGuy They are amazing. And you have the best youtube fragrance chanel. Extraordinary job!

interesting! first I sampled Zero I thought it was impressive, different, so it went straight to my wish list! love it!
For me it was Santal 33 . I actually retuned it . Bought again and now I love it.
Rouge 540 smells like blood soaked bandages - I LOVE IT!
Maison Francis Kurkdjian oud satin mood wasn't my favorite at the time but now oud satin mood, I can't get enough of. Especially the extrait 😂
Same experience w crystal saffron & now I’m addicted to it🤑 I always receive compliments on it too
Haha crazy how that happens!!
Musc Ravageur was a sweaty homeless man stench to me when I first sprayed it on years ago. Fast forward several years later, and it's now the sexiest vanilla forward fragrance I own.
Yes. But could it also have been because of reformations because at one time it was a lot muskier?
@@ThePerfumeGuy Oh! Hello there! I hope all is well.
I would have to agree with you, and I have been seeking out an original formulation of it to confirm!
I did not like Maison Crivelli’s Iris Malikhan first time. Now it’s one of my favorites!

Gozo reminds me of Burberry Black. I love it.

Sebastian, since when u start collecting fragrances? It feels like u have literally have library of perfumes now.
I love the mint in ege!!! So refreshing
i didn’t like prada lhomme at first I just didn’t really like the smell but I absolutely love it now it’s probably my favourite designer fragrance I would pay $200+ for it if it was that price
Happens to the best of us! :)
People rave about BR540 but my personal favs by MFK are Oud Satin Mood and Amyris Homme extrait de parfum.
Bibliotheque by byredo. Smelled so medicinal and made me sick initially. A year later i find it strangely addictive!
Imagination smells like a designer but even if it does, nothing smells as good as it does which is quite ironic because even with the black tea, most of its notes are common and its borderline basic.. but its really good
Actually it’s a designer. Haha. But yes grew on me!
My not-love at first sniff: Gucci Guilty Absolute . Now I freaking love it!
Gentle fluidity silver reminded me of Gypsy Water😊
BR 540 extrait also very challenging for me to wear, it's because of the metallic note, but I like the burnt sugar smell.. for me 1 bottle is enough 😅
Very nice idea, and very true 👍
🇱🇧 🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧
Thank you! Cheers!
I want to try out Crystal saffron. Imagination smells good.
Agree re Imagination.
With BR540 extrait, at first it was ok, then I went anosmic to it, and when that came back, I got hooked and bought a bottle.
I agree. I have a few that can’t just wear everyday
Parisian Musk was really not love from first sniff. this summer i loved it and bought 50 ml :D
I hated Tobacco Honey and then one day, I loved it! Same with Guidance.
Me too 😂 Crystal Saffron 🔮 for the win 😅
For me also a Comme des Garçons but mine was Copper. Also Nishane safran Colognise and Ganymede
I wonder if you had a difficult time with saffron before?
For me it was the genre of white florals as a whole
Yes, there was a time I was challenged even with vanilla white florals included, but your nose adjust to them like mine did. 😀
I was like that with Nishane Karagoz. I now own a full bottle.
Amazing Video❤
"A dumb reach perfume" lol, thanks for that expression I did not know I need. 😁
Imagination is great and MFK GFS is awesome 🤩
I had a similar experience with Imagination, but I know I own a bottle that Im half way through… other ones I can think of was beach hut man and Van Py Rhum.
Makes sense
I also don't get the cotton candy reference for BR 540.
2 I can think of
•Cartier Oud & Ambre
•Roja - Fetish
burberry hero felt boring at first, but i just enjoy the way it smells
My boyfriend like 540 extrait so much at his first sniff and he don't know this fragrance before. Haha
I've tried Gris Dior Esprit but I think it's not worth its price. 🌹
BR540 dear god when I smelled it all I got was dental office😅. Now I love it! I get that cotton candy now.
I still can’t do BR540 🤷♀️
That is the major reason why I keep boring and hated fragrances. It could grow on me. 😂
For me it was: MFK GFS, Hermes Terre d'Hermes edt, EP Bois Imperial
Mitsouko -- first spray, I hated it. Then I started to love it and now it is my winter signature scent! Oud Silk Mood, still don't like it. Red Tobacco Intense, hoping it will grow on me.

Aree with all of these (and still don't like them) aside from Gozo & Gris Dior (maybe Gentle Fluidity & Colle Noir too)
Interesting!! Which you didn't like then liked?
Bacarrat smells like a fluffy spun caramelized sugar to me
I have a whole collection of such perfumes:)
Amouage Blossom love 😵💫😵💫😕😐🤨🧐😯🙂🩷🩷🩷
Absolute pour le soir
I'm still struggling with Gozo
I smell Las Vegas casino when I smell baccarat 😂
CdG Zero sounds interesting.
Agreed 💯 sir
Thank you.
A friend got me mfk gfs to smell, i tried to play it off. 3 months later ordered it and love it.
I got fan your flames x blind buy and it grew on me
Even naxos grew on me late
That’s about it. I seldom start loving a fragrance later.
Mine was mugler alien
It happened to me also👍
Yes exactly!! :)

🔥🔥🔥🔥
I agree
Can’t stand BR540
To me it smells like someone set the color pink on fire 🔥 🤢
HAHA I love that explanation.
👍👍👍
Hello!!
I still don’t like Ege! Lol
LOL. What don’t you like about it?
@@ThePerfumeGuy it smells a lil fishy to me
5:00 my first thought about it is sweet like a candy 😂🍬spicy, sweet like candy, and dental clinic smell
