Blind bought Naxos and 40 Knots because of you. I'm pretty sure we have very similar tastes. Code Parfum and Bleu Electrique are some of my signatures.
Yep same here! Naxos imo takes some warming up to tho, smelled it the 1st time and thought it was weird and just okay but grown to appreciate it more. I prefer 40 knots, it's just easier to wear and like
Naxos is a nice blend but a really hit or miss. Me and my girlfriend both cant stand the smell of it. Even outdoors close up or from afar the smell is repulsing. But well made for sure. Also very feminine to us🤠
personally, I blind bought blu electrique due to the hype regarding its rarity and blind-buy safety and did not like it much at first. Just comes from the fact that I don't usually wear perfumes with such a scent profile. I've learned to like it through using it frequently as an office frag, as I like catching soft whiffs of it off myself more than smelling it directly off my hand where I feel it's cloying. unrelated, I blind bought Bvlgari Terrae Essence and loving that one! Would not say it's blind buy worthy though for sure!
I love blind buying. Once you know which notes you like, and you trust certain reviewers' noses , while also reading many reviews, you can buy more comfortably.
I purchased angel's share, and it lasted damn near 24hrs on my skin. I worked out, showered, and even wore something else the next day, and I could still smell angel's share on my skin.
I'm also considering purchasing Angel's Share. How's the projection/sillage on it? Some say it has a soft/moderate projection, while others claim it's a really loud fragrance, hence my confusion in that regard. I'm still undecided between Angel's Share and PDM Oajan because of the projection aspect, which is why I'm asking.
@@migueldiogo2000For me, it started loud for a couple of hours and then settled down to about a medium projection and stayed at that moderate level, and was faint but noticeable, at least to me.
Omar, please please can you tell me where I can still get Blue Electrique, or if anything comes close to cloning it. This is Sex in a bottle, on my skin it was beautiful, so good the lady I was with stole my bottle, and I have never been able to replace since. Looking forward to hearing from you teacher. 👏🏿👏🏿🤗👍🏿

i have Armani Code Parfum in my collection.. it has something that reminds me of Dior Homme Intense and Prada L'Homme Intense, but like toned down and going in a different direction ; less powdery and more akin to Acqua di Parma Colonia line. I also recently blind bought Montabaco Intensivo as i wanted a new spring frag and Omar description's suited me ; very hard to find samples for that anyway
Amazing video again, following you for a long time and I must say you have one of the best (if not the best) opinions on each and every perfume. You don't just give your own judgement on the scents, but also explain why people may or may not agree with you - depending on what they like personally. If I may suggest a video type, could you make a 'The Best Fragrances with 'this particular note' ' video? I've been looking for strong sweet smelling fragrances, specifically ones with Vanilla that are also masculine, and would love your opinion on this topic.
@@TheHomieTitz to be fair, even if he does, I blind bought it month or two ago, and it has become literally my main daily scent, it's really that good. I'm very picky about daily / blue fragrances (for example, I don't really like Bleu de Chanel or Armani / Aqua di Gio flankers etc) , but this one just hits all the right spots and is super smooth and interesting to smell. If it wasn't for him, I totally would have missed this gem.
@@SchoolOfScent I ordered it. I know the Y version and I enjoy it but that's very different. Will report back in a few days. It's summer, but I may have a date coming so it's gonna be slight spray of Electrique or just plain old Blue Seduction.
I got it today and just sprayed it for the first time on paper as I'm in the office. The opening is weird, soapy. It almost gives me a taste as if I've licked some soap. It definitely is old-school scent. I think it will be a grower.
By the fireplace is definitely not blind buy worthy and I would fs wear jazz club but I don’t know if I would call it blind buy safe especially for a teen
I don't know why, but I really tried to like The One, it was one of my first fragrances and everyone was talking so much about it. But I just really can't stand it, if I am being honest. And I generally like tobacco fragrances.
Am I the only one who thinks D&G the one is not blind buy worthy? Every time I smell it I just can’t stand it, there’s something really off putting about it, especially in the opening.
man I just need to know, I'm 21y and I literally just wear hoodies and streetwear, I bought a lot of perfumes in the last year but I dont think nothing fits perfectly... The ones that I love and fit are 2 I don't have: Sauvage and Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme that being said, what could you recommend (those are a bit too expensive and I can never find them on discounters for a fair price)
Hate the idea of blind buying. Even if you’re pretty familiar with scent notes, the fragrance might still throw you off, even if liked by the masses. Just my 2 cents.
Did a blind buy on D&G The One EDP and was so disappointed. I didn't like it, my girlfriend didn't like it and my friends also told me it didn't smell good. No such thing as a "safe" blind buy.
There’s nothing like “best blind buy” because we like different things. The One EDP smells like laundry detergent to me. Take your behind to a department store and you’ll know what you like faster than you do blind buying only to regret.
I don’t think D&G the one edp is a safe blind buy. I have quite a developed nose but I still didn’t like the fragrance when I smelled it for the first time.
I couldn't recommend Stronger With You as a blind buy. I tried it at Boots and was very disappointed. It is far too "gourmand" for me. That chestnut note really turned me off. It's very well made and of high quality, but not for everyone. A friend who wears Armani Code bought this without trying it because it came from the same House. He had to give the bottle away as he couldn't wear this fragrance.

Do you think Code Parfum is too classy and grown up for a young guy?
I won a blue electrique off an ebay bid for abt 70$ and i love it
I blind bought Naxos because of how much you like it, and I have never smelled anything like it in my life.
Xerjoff Naxos is a safe niche blind buy worthy fragrance.
I did the same. Had to get used to it then started wearing it more and more.
Man I just can’t get enough of SWY Absolutely! Had to get a back-up bottle 🔥
yeess!👍
I pick up Ambroxan from Armani Code Parfum, it is definitely modernized and slightly twisted version of the OG. Very pleasant though.
Love this guy bro, so chill.

Would you choose Sartorial over Beau du jour?
I would... I have both and Beau du Jour is pretty sharp... Sartorial is much smoother in my opinion.

What about CH 212? ??
Defo blind bought 90% of my scents including bleu eletrique. Gotta risk it for a biscuit.
MM Replica Jazz Club
Thank you for sharing your video
No Omar video without Penhaligon's featuring it. 😂
Should I buy Blue Electrique 100ml for 70EURO? It's double the usual blind buy price I go for. It's without packaging, so I assume a tester.
It’s at your own risk, but as long as it’s legitimate, I personally would 👀 (if you know how the original smells, it’s not really a blind buy)
