De Los Santos is also my favorite from Byredo. To me, it smells like palo santo with florals and light musk. It's like a fragrance for the soul very calming.
Checking back in to say good looks on the Guerlain recommendation! Just came in the mail today and it’s going to be my go to for the holiday season. Reminds me of wearing a nice knitted sweater next to a fireplace
Hey, cool vid and fragrance list! Glad the algo pushed this vid to me. Habdan, Oajan, Carlisle, Althair, Layton are my top 5 from PDM, Herod no 6. Looking forward to more frag reviews!
@@itscharlesmackenzie Wow, thank you for the reply. Please if you can try Ganymede from Marc-Antoine Barrois - I believe you will love it! btw i loved your last decorating video!
Hello from a new subscriber! I have both L'Homme ideal EDP, meaning the 2019 batch which you have and the black cap one from 2023, and unfortunatly they are guite different, i could say different perfumes :(. The 2019, brown cap, has much more Cherry and in the new one you barely sense it, so if somebody has the chance to get the old one, do it without hesitation! Nice video, thank you for your work!
New here, but cudos to the overall aesthetics of your videos! As a fellow fragrance enthusiast its great to hear your take on especially the niche ones. I vouch for the pages fragrantica or parfumo to even go deeper into the hobby.
@@itscharlesmackenzie MFK Grand Soir, Xerjoff 40 Knots and Pdm Carlisle are the ones I reach the most for. EDIT: Ahh and also the Maison Martin Margiella Jazz Club, absolute gem and affordable.
So I’ve been watching scent videos for the last year and the reviews can be sometimes, frustrating and inconsistent but with your videos - I’ve finally found my go to. Perfectly explained and accessible. Keep doing your thing - these are unbelievably good 👍
I’ve actually smelled them before! I love the chess theme. I wasn’t blown away by any but it was just a quick spray or two at the store. I’ll definitely give them a second chance. Any notable ones?
@itscharlesmackenzie there are a couple that are great they are J'Adoube a pomegranate, leather scent, Double Attack a chocolate, bourbon and vanilla scent and French Defence a cherry, woodsy, amber scent. They do 2 really good discovery packs that are with getting one in a black box and one in a white box both are worth getting and they come with a $50 discount card off a full bottle.
@@Indoboyva for a relatively new house they sure have hit the ground running, with some exceptional scents. My only issue with Mind Games is I can't justify spending the money to buy them all.
Jealous that you've got the old formulation of L'Homme Ideal. I've got the newer black cap, and it's still great. But I've heard the older one is way stronger
@@itscharlesmackenzie I think you're just generalising citrus+woods=aventus. It's not a pineapple smell like Aventus and it's WAY more woodier, like a shit ton more, with a slight patchouli edge to the drydown.
Old Fashion starts out sweet and smells like actual an actual cocktail, then it dries down and just smells like burnt wood and nothing else. Disappointing! Stick to Angel Share.
I actually agree with you. I don't think to that extreme, but you are right. To be honest, if i'm buying a fragrance from Killian i'll be getting Vodka on the rocks
Really dig your honesty and great choice of language....such joy

Couldn’t agree more. It’s so calming
Truly appreciate you talking about different fragrances then what everyone else is talking about
Thanks man! It’s not always about the newest and the best.
Just Sub'd! Enjoyed your selections and hearing your personal connection with each. Catching up on your pists now... 💯
Thank you so much!

Such a good description. That also sounds fantastic and now I’m mad I don’t have a big knitted sweater or a fireplace.

All great choices I definitely should have mentioned Oanan I think it’s better than Herod.
What a list mate, love that Dos Santos. Would like to see your opinion on Ganymade.👏
Never heard of them to be honest!! If I get my nose on it I’ll let you know.
@@itscharlesmackenzie Wow, thank you for the reply. Please if you can try Ganymede from Marc-Antoine Barrois - I believe you will love it! btw i loved your last decorating video!
Super great video as always. Btw, love the touch of adding a voiceover with subtitles - it makes multitasking while watching much more effortless
lol! Glad you enjoy it. I’ll try again :)
Just found your channel, Charles! Your videos are amazing!
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers from Brazil!
Thank you so much!!
Hope you’ll do more fragrance videos, this was fabulous!
I can and I will :)

I love watching your vids while getting ready to go out, so calming. Keep doing your thing
Thank you so much
Got to try that to Ford one!
New subbie here. Love the content, fiancé has 5 of these already. I'm gonna go put my nose on Black Lacquer and see if he gets that for Christmas.
Oh you might just love it! He sounds like a lucky guy! Another one that may be better for him is ebene fume

Great video as always😉
Thank you!
Loved the vid‼️ wheres the sweater from?

@@itscharlesmackenzie thank you so much keep up the great work
Loved it!!
De los santos smells damped forest & woods. If you like that notes, its for u
That’s a very spot on description
Yessss clicked so fast
keep the hair btw!
Uomo Salvatore Ferragamo (Tiramisu) needs a mention!
I was literally just talking about this fragrance. I have it and totally forgot about it
No hate at all, but there is still dior homme original "similair to the 2011 formulation" atleast here in europe
Oh nice! Yeah here it smells like aventus. Super weird
You can find it în duty free shops and online on the oficial Dior site. I dont know if its available for delivery outsider Europe.
You should try the brand Mind Games Fragrances..
I’ve actually smelled them before! I love the chess theme. I wasn’t blown away by any but it was just a quick spray or two at the store. I’ll definitely give them a second chance. Any notable ones?
@@itscharlesmackenzie they just came out with 2 new ones. Mentor & Prodigy. I got Mentor for the fall weather.

@@simply_psi I layer Ruy Lopez with Vieri, nice mix of sweet and citrus.

I have the EDT in an all black bottle too, is that what you mean? Both smell amazing to me.
@@itscharlesmackenzie I've got that EDT too haha. Nah they changed EDP to black cap to match, and reformulated at that time too.
Where are your glasses from?
Jimmy Fairly in London, called the headlight frame
❤
I ❤️u
Likewise :)
Great Video. I have my own fragrance channel, Great Content I just Subscribe, NYC
Thanks for the sub! I’ll return the favour
How does he have this much money!!!
Dior Homme 2020 does not smell like Creed Aventus at all, I'm sorry.
Idk man the one I smelled did.
@@itscharlesmackenzie I think you're just generalising citrus+woods=aventus.
It's not a pineapple smell like Aventus and it's WAY more woodier, like a shit ton more, with a slight patchouli edge to the drydown.
@@Jordddann We’re definitely experiencing different fragrances. And I didn’t say citrus + woods = aventus. You did.
