100% on Dior 2020. Its Legit
My five immediately loved fragrances:
1. Bvlgari pour homme
2. Parfums de Marly Percival
3. Club de Nuit Intense Man
4. Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Eau Intense
5. Bvlgari Man in Black
OH yeah, Man in Black for sure.
Another great video! If you like the Silver Mountain Water DNA you might like L’Aventure Fraiche.
It’s a fresher take on the SMW DNA. I love it and being an extrait de parfum, the performance is incredible.
Thanks Mark!
My first "this is the dopest thing I've ever smelled" moment was when I first smelled Creed Millésime Imperial. Still love it!
Oh yeah. I GET That one. Every time anyone mentions Milleseme imperiale I have to fight the urge to buy Club de Nuit Milestone. I have an MI decant but it doesn't last long so I'm going Armaf. But yeah. It's incredible.
No notification needed today got here while it is as fresh on the feed
Ha ha. Cool.
My love at first sniff was Amouage Journey man! Wow what a beautifull incensy fragrance
Really good video! Yes peanut butter and Manuka honey is my work lunch,power packed meal.thanks,oh yeah on Dave's killer bread,21 whole grains and seeds green package loaf.thanks
5 I fell in love with from the first sniff and will always have a bottle:
1) Dior Fahrenheit - my first designer fragrance. I'll always love this stuff. One of the best summers I ever had, 2001.
2) Armani Stronger with you intensely - this reminds me of a very happy winter a couple years back. So warm and sweet.
3) V&R Spicebomb extreme - from the same happy winter, the moment this hit my nose, I was hooked. I actually look forward to cold days sometimes so I can throw this on again!
4) Armani Acqua di Gio Profondo - I will never not be a happy chappy wearing this. Always liked the ADG line from the original onwards but this one hits differently. Amazing stuff.
5) Dior Sauvage Elixir - I got given a sample from a lady at work (she's a fraghead too) and I loved it. Got Lataffa's Asad but, while there are similarities and I love them both, Sauvage wins.
5 I learned to love:
1) CDNIM EDP - When I first got it I was early on in the fragrance game. I heard good things about it so I took the plunge. Given how strong it was, I wasn't sure if I could pull it off or if it was for me. Took a few wears and I love the stuff. One of my most complimented smellies. Always gonna have some.
2) Missoni Parfum Pour Homme - Smelled very generically blue at first smell. After being let down by BDC years ago, I thought meh, it's cheap, whatever. Just respray it. It took a little while but I actually came to appreciate and prefer Missoni over BDC, both smell, performance and price point. Won't run out of this stuff.
3) Issey Miyake Nuit d'Issey - Very early on in the game, I saw a bottle of this on sale for very cheap. Knowing I like the original Issey Miyake Pour Homme, I gave it a go. The smokiness and the incense really frightened me and I didn't reckon I could rock this stuff. I was wrong. Another bloody good compliment getter. Works best on a grey day, wearing dark clothes ;)
4) Versace Eros Parfum - "Pete... you're nearly 40. What are you trying to smell like this for?!" was going through my head! I loved the smell from the get go but I was a little apprehensive on what comments I'd get at work. Pete's an idiot: ladies love it! Even a shaved headed, tattooed up maintenance manager can smell like Eros! :D
5) Guerlain L'homme Ideal L'intense - this was a birthday present from my wife back in April. She bought it on the recommendation of the sales chick in the shop. "Oh yeah, honey, this stuff is great. What? You're not sure? Nah, I can pull this off...." Took a few wears but I can safely say I really love this one!
Those fell in love with at first sniff fragrances are all ones I love. I don't have Spicebomb extreme but I have the others (an Elixir clone but I have tried the OG) and they're all brilliant.
@@ScentsofStyle99 That's because you're classy and why I subscribed all that time ago. You've got taste, sir!
The elixir clone... Asad? If so, I love that too, I have that too. Its similarities are wow!
People that give complements like that have a lot of class. It's rare. I really appreciate that.
Always the best content.
That's extremely kind. Thank you.
I like this concept for a video bc there are some fragrances that I didn’t like @ all initially!! However after a while they became some of my very favorite. With saying that I love it when I find a fragrance immediately and it just checks all marks
Yeah, it's crazy how many fragrances I have grown into. I couldn't stand Terre d'Hermes or any vetiver for at least two years. Hated my bottle of Encre Noire and now I wear them often. Dior Homme Intense, Santal 33 and even Herod I had to grow into. It's a weird hobby that way.
My absolute love at first sniff was Givenchy Gentleman EDP. It was intoxicatingly good to my nose. SOTD, D&G Light Blue Italian Love, it's going to be close to 40° C here in Utah today, I needed to spray something to trick my mind into thinking I'm at the beach. 🥵
I totally get GG EDP as a love at first sniff. It's such an iconic fragrance.
Dior Homme 2020 is fantastic, I remember I bought because it didnt have Iris, which I sometimes find overwhelming is some frags, loved it. Also the Black Beast, got it before the Frag community hyped it, damn that was powerful! Went through my first bottle in about a year, got a back up 100ml and 200ml after, it was my signature scent for almost 2 years! Great content as always!
OMG, the Black Beast was purchased because it was on sale and I didn't expect to like it as much as I do. The performance is epic and the scent, while traditional is fantastic. Love 2020 too!
Yes Luna Rossa carbon had the same effect on me I believe it’s a mass pleaser
Gris Charnel...literally out of a box of samples I ordered. Opened the box and thought the smell was some amazing combo of the six samples. Nope. Found the Gris Charnel and was blown away.
I don't blame you. I LOVE that DNA.
For me it was CK Eternity, CK Obsession, D&G Pour Homme, Armani Acqua di Gio, Creed Aventus, Spicebomb, Dior Homme Cologne, PDM Carlisle
Oh man, I have to try Carlisle. I have heard SO MUCH about it. Fragmental loves it too so I need to try it. Peace out.
Love your videos
Very kind Mike. Greatly appreciated.
Fahrenheit Parfum, Herod, Mancera Lemon Line, and CAHSEE are a few love at first sniffs..
CAHSEE was one for me. Oddly enough, I had to grow into Herod which I now find weird. I have no idea how I didn't love it right away.
Rootbeer! Let's drink to that!🍻 Dior Homme 2020 ❤.
Finally get my hands on Mandorlo di Sicilia. Thank you so much for including this on list.
Stronger With You. I have two bottles of Absolutely and its' clone. Am wondering if getting Intensely is redundant?
It's different enough so it's not redundant.
@@zsb707 How's the performance? Absolutely is beast mode.
Anything Parfum De Marley!!!
My latest immediate like out of the box is Paris Corner Rifaaqat. If that is a YSL Babycat light clone then the OG must be stellar. I dunno if it's $400 stellar, though.
I have been thinking about that one for a while.
@@ScentsofStyle99 I think it is back up bottle worthy. And I suspect it will be discontinued at some point. If not already. Cheers.
What concentration of armaf Club de nuit you have ? 🤔
Just the regular concentration. Nothing fancy.
Even though Dior Homme 2020 and Dior Homme Sport are quite different, and I would love to have both…most seem to prefer the Sport version🤷🏻♂️
As far as the CDNIM…just DON’T GET the EDT….I can barely use it for a bathroom spray. It’s been macerating for well over a year and a half, yet that harshness never goes away… Even after dry down🤮
For many it's the first five minutes. It smells like Pledge and it's awful. I can understand where you come from if That's what you're getting. The WEIRDEST thing about this hobby though is just how subjective the sense of smell is. Genetically some people simply can't pick up certain notes and others pick up certain notes too much. It leads to serious misunderstandings between people. Unfortunately, it appears there is something in the edt that you can't tolerate and That's a shame. I'm the same way with Explorer. Sometimes I can hardly smell it on me.
I received it in the mail, sprayed on my arm and walked straight out to the bin and tossed it in.
What a ridiculous bottle of garbage cleaning fluid.
@@pacman-in-ozI feel you. Montblanc on the other hand is quality juice. I wear it casually whereas Aventus only gets formal wear.
I love the EDT even got a back up bottle. I really don't get the harsh smell at the beginning but as @ScentsofStyle99 said so people smeel things that others don't.
If you like club de nuit intense man try lattafa shaheen silver it's a hidden gem for me it's better than CNIM in quality
Noted! Thanks.
@@ScentsofStyle99 you're welcome
CDNIM is interesting. EDT? EDP? Parfum? Everybody raves about the Parfum LE. But there are a lot of advocates for the EDP. I do not have a sample of each so no idea. I'm thinking of getting Rayhaan Imperia. But it's mass appealing but not necessarily fragcomm worthy. It's hit and miss.
I ordered cdnim EDP but the guy sent me EDT it was dirt cheap so I wasn't bothered I opened it up anyway and it didn't have that nasty lemon 🍋 smell everyone else is getting I got nice lemon smokey opening birch smell stayed thought ,mine is batch 22 maybe that made the. Difference
@@umaydniassuh6511 I ordered Rayhaan Imperia. Cheaper than CDNIM EDP unless you get the 200ml. CDNIM is supposedly missing the pineapple note. Is this true? Cheers.
Oddly enough I'm not a connoisseur. Have only tried the OG and it's good enough for me.
Damn, you're lucky. My CDNIW opening eventually smoothed out but my cdnim is still pledge for about 5 minutes.
I love your content. I have been watching you for a while. I saw some earlier videos and then I kind of lost you for a while and now I am back. You seem to match my fragrance journey.
You also seem to match some other journeys I have made. Namely fashion. Started doing similar things, better shoes, better fragrance. Update your fit. Please. You are doing the same thing I did. Over sized shirts. Be proud you have lost the weight and find something that fits you right.
I love your content and I will continue to watch you. We have similar tastes. 50s guy who doesn't mind old school. Take what I say with a grain of salt.
That's a really kind and supportive post. It's odd how these things work out for some. I'm glad you had a similar journey because mine has been great and has really helped me and sounds like yours has been great too. Glad to have you back!
Sunnamusk afgan oud
Angry beards Urban Twofingers
Zoologist Panda 2017
Prada Luna Rossa Extreme
Nabeel Antar
YSL M7 Oud Absolu
Lempicka Homme
Xerjoff Golden Dallah
I have to try Panda because the house is Canadian. I was so close to buying the Lempicka but I didn't and I deeply regret it. Great list.
@@ScentsofStyle99 lempicka homme is still cheap. The original is discontinued but I prefer the newer version
1st
I like that you post pictures of your ex - wives and girlfriends before the start of the video. ;D
Oh yeah. I love rootbeer and peanut butter, too. Just not together. Haha.
Cheers.
Not ex-wife. The photo looks like an old girlfriend but she wouldn't be happy if I posted her photo, ha ha.
Prada Luna Rossa Carbon is really a masterpiece!
Extreme is my favourite. So sad it's discontinued
I disagree about Montblanc being a "better quality house" when compared to Armaf. The fragrances speak for themselves. Armaf is better.
No. the fragrances don't speak for themselves. Armaf LIE constantly about the notes in their fragrances and they do it all the time. Classic example is Club de Nuit Intense Man which they claim has real Ambergris, pineapple and birch. Montblanc are European, have much more stringent standards and don't list Ambergris or Pineapple in their note for Explorer. Just Ambroxin and Bergamot which, while less impressive is honest. They also pay attention to detail and don't fudge the openings the way Armaf does repeatedly. Armaf's dry downs are what they focus on at the expense of the opening because their commitment to quality just isn't the same.
You're NOT saying armaf has higher quality fragrances than montblanc are you? Cuz if so, you're out of your goddamn mind lol
I pm'ed you on Facebook about something important. Cheers.
