Courtney makes some good videos. The videos she made with Teddy are really good. She’s discussed niche fragrances and Teddy’s website sells watches and fragrances. Watching Teddy’s watch videos is what led me to fragcomm once I started watching their fragrance videos.
Damn, Le Male is one of my all time designer favorites. I love, how it made a new direction in perfumery and really founded Amber Fougere family in mens perfumes. I love the blend.
Hi Omar, Courtney used to do a fragrance channel with her husband Teddy Baldasarre. (Baldasarre Fragances). That said they haven't posted for a while, possibly discontinued. Teddy's doing a channel on luxury watches.
I love La Nuit, but I disagree with Courtney a bit - I do think the drydown is on the sweeter side. Not like..Invictus bubblegum sweet, but maybe more of a floral and soft woods sweet. Thanks O, another great vid :)
Le Male is the basis for how we view mens fragrances today in general. Sweet, vanillic notes were not as common in scents before that. I wore that the year it came out. I smell it today since my boss wears it. It is a shadow of how I remember it. Still pleasant.
I definitely agree. The old batches of le "Le Mâle EDT" beats all the modern versions of (I like the parfum version but the old batches of original version were better) it was also my first fragrance in the early 2000 and it had a beautiful a beautiful sillage and girls were really obsessed by it so much good memories with that fragrance !!!
I wore polo red as a 21 year old, 30 now, and I still remember the performance as none. Not a single compliment and it lasted maybe 2 hours until I couldn’t smell it anymore
I recently smelled Jazz Club at a Sephora and I LOVE IT. I only hope it projects well and lasts long because I’ll definitely be buying it. The fact that it’s an EDT makes me a little skeptical about the performance. Can anyone comment on its performance from experience?
The fact is the phrase "if we find you physically attractive" is ALWAYS left out of the title and the discussion. See, women may love a scent, and think it's very sexy but...on a man she finds physically attractive. On a man she finds average or below average, not 6 foot, overweight, not making at least 6 figures a year...then "somehow" that scent just isn't as good. Go figure. Men, wear a fragrance YOU love, a fragrance that make YOU feel good. Who CARES if women love it or think it's sexy?!?! IT DOESN'T MATTER! IT NEVER WILL! Attracting the woman of your dreams by wearing a certain fragrance is ridiculous. Unless you pass all the tests, jump through all the hoops, and check all the boxes first, a woman will NEVER care what fragrance you're wearing, ever. Sorry...facts are facts.
Yeah. Every time Courtney's friends (and many, many, maaany more female reviewers, both frag heads and normal people) described a scent they really liked, they said things like "it smells like a good looking business owner/bad boy". Scent matters, but it's just a cherry on top (if you are attractive, healthy physique, good haircut and wearing nice clothes).
Weird take: I am not really a fan of LeMale's headnotes, but i do like Versaces The dreamer and i think those two scents smell similar. The dreamer just seems less intense.... am I wrong?! Everytime i apply The dreamer i remember LeMale (and i do smell LeMale alot, my dad uses it)
Mr Omar... You are wrong about ysl lanuite de homme I used today in shopping mall and in starting smells but after 2 hours i can't smell anything 😁😁very week, waste of money
If Cuba Gold was before JPG Le Male EDT, then Le Male is definitely a clone. I have Cuba Gold and smelled both of them and they are 1:1. JPG maybe a bit powderier than Cuba Gold.
Nope , Cuba Gold was not the inspiration for le Mâle EDT he was inspired by another fragrance : Francis Kurdjian admitted himself in an interview that he was inspired by a classic french fragrance from the house Caron (I think it was "Pour un homme" EDT from 1934 and Cuba Gold was released in 1979) and he simply tried to do a modern version of the lavender / vanilla accord of the Caron Fragrance.
I don't get all the love for Prada Luna Rossa Black. It stinks. Smells like plastic or rubber tires in the opening. It doesn't project. You have to wait a long time before the tire smell goes away. It does last for a long time, but that is the only positive in my opinion.
"She's some sort of relationship/dating expert or advisor - so I'm gonna go ahead and subscribe" you never fail to deliver on your jokes with that dry humour, LOL.
I've learned a lot from watching your videos. But what are the most luxurious fragrances that are worth the high price tag? I saw the video that said fragrances that are worth $200 a bottle. Are there any more???
Some cost a lot more than that, especially niche western brands. Amouage, parfums de Marley and Maison Francis Kurdjianfor example on average are €350 per 100ml. Nishane are up to over €300 for 50ml. Creed are also quite expensive
I have Amouage Interlude Black Iris, PDM Pegasus Exclusif, PDM herod, Atrium Mr Fragrant right now. And I ordered Xerjoff Alexandria II and Amouage Reflection 45 on the way to start my collection. Do you have anything you would like to recommend?
@@lildwell2 wow! that's an impressive collection 😅 Hmm let's see.. I would recommend some fresh and light to balance your collection out for the summer. I'm a big fan of Aqua Di Parma Fico Di Amalfi: a green fresh, photorealistic juicy fig note that dries down to clean woody soapy scent. Transports you to the Amalfi coast really. High quality natural smelling ingredients. But my biggest recommendation is not to buy too much! Or not to feel pressured into buying a fragrance because of "recommendations" from the community.... It's easy to slip into addiction with this hobby 😅
Yeah, I'm not sure why they stopped doing those fragrance related video. Teddy is big into watches, so maybe they just decided that the fragrance chanel wasn't worth the extra effort
I don't really believe this story about sexy fragrances, what would a sexy scent be on a woman? any good smell be it gum, chocolate, strawberry, orange, and what would be a bad smell? an old woman's smell, your grandmother's smell
i love Jazz Club by MM but i can't get over the 4-5h duration. I find it is a versatile scent for autumn/winter season (more autumn imho), not just 'date night' but i can't get over its performance. Also, i swear i smelled that in the gym, which is just wrong.

He is also a big fan of fougères fragrances.
i heard her and her mans broke up? is that true can’t really find any evidence of that and it would make sense as to why their fragrance channel hasn’t uploaded in over a year
I think this type of advice won’t work. I think it’s quite straightforward: when you’re not able to pick your fragrance, pretty much for sure you’ll not be capable to select a partner..
Solely intended for “close encounter” and a date night fragrance. It’s personally my most complimented fragrance because of it, it’ll last you your entire date and I’ve had girls send me texts that “I still smell like you” after dropping them off at home. Great fragrance for that purpose
Omar the type of guy that watches his old videos and cringe
It’s true
‘Class is in session’ 😂

I enjoy Courtney’s videos, I picked up Luna Rossa Black because of her. One of my favorites in my collection!
How about making a video ranking discoutinued (or badly reformulated) fragrances and their alternatives/replacements?
I love La Nuit, but I disagree with Courtney a bit - I do think the drydown is on the sweeter side. Not like..Invictus bubblegum sweet, but maybe more of a floral and soft woods sweet.
Thanks O, another great vid :)
Agreed. These days mens fragrance have diabetes. So much so that LNDL is considered not sweet. 😂
Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day

6 hours with soft projection
Yes percival is so dam good. I also love polo red edt. Yes ysl de so good
Vodka on the Rocks is my favorite Fierce iteration. Fresh but not too many citruses so it can be worn all year no problem.

I seen her channel before, but didn’t click on it, but it seems like she has great taste in fragrances

cuba gold has been my dads signature for over 15 years
Hey man! Recently I saw aromatix say D&G Light blue Intense EDP alternative/dupe is Rayyhan Ocean rush. Is it true? Should I get the dupe?
What to take that is similar to CH Men Prive? That was my signature, but it has now been discontinued.
Cuba gold did not come out first despite what cuba fragrances say try to find me one from the 70s
Your humour is top tier. I feel it has the potential to go over peoples heads due to your dryness. Brilliant.
Aldi a great creator too - thank you.
Please bring back
Hello Winners; Class is in session
Mr Omar... You are wrong about ysl lanuite de homme I used today in shopping mall and in starting smells but after 2 hours i can't smell anything 😁😁very week, waste of money
I totally agree.
Usually he recommends Blue Electrique because of the performance issues.
Yeah the original version is no longer worth it unless you get an old batch
Dude ima come to england and take you out to meet some girls! 🤣 or maybe spain or italy would be a better choice 🔥
If Cuba Gold was before JPG Le Male EDT, then Le Male is definitely a clone. I have Cuba Gold and smelled both of them and they are 1:1.

Any others that have the same sort of smell like Prada LR black? Thx
In my experience, no. There really isn’t any other similar scents I have found. You can review Fragrantica to see what others think is similar
If you look for something else in this category you could try Guerlain Ideal EDP or Valentino Uomo Intense
Jazz club is on point
Who perfumed Cuba gold?
I always assumed it was the copy cat not the other way around because it’s so cheap.
I don't get all the love for Prada Luna Rossa Black. It stinks. Smells like plastic or rubber tires in the opening. It doesn't project. You have to wait a long time before the tire smell goes away. It does last for a long time, but that is the only positive in my opinion.
The Fierce bottle makes me gag, it's just so incredibly tacky. YUCK. Jazz Club though... 10/10. Can't recommend it enough.
Can you review Pineward Perfumes? Plz
"She's some sort of relationship/dating expert or advisor - so I'm gonna go ahead and subscribe" you never fail to deliver on your jokes with that dry humour, LOL.
Atrium doesn't ship to the UAE ..

It smells like baby powder Prada black yuk
She fire tho

Maybe he couldn't take the Morticia Addams look any longer
Ahh I hope you're wrong, both of them seem like such classy people. I loved watching their fragrance channel's videos.
No they didn't. They're actually engaged
@@jimmymcwatters4182 Even better, they're married.
They're married now.
JPG Le Male creamy??? No Way :D
The one is soo bad. I cant stand it. Ch Men Prive smells good, but the performance on me is bader than the one EDP, maybe 2-3 hours, total crap.
2-3 hours looks like a lucky batch. Mine is 1 hour max very faint smell.
I think this type of advice won’t work. I think it’s quite straightforward: when you’re not able to pick your fragrance, pretty much for sure you’ll not be capable to select a partner..
Bad boy played out ! This is the 21 century 😄
D&G The One EDP below average performance
Solely intended for “close encounter” and a date night fragrance. It’s personally my most complimented fragrance because of it, it’ll last you your entire date and I’ve had girls send me texts that “I still smell like you” after dropping them off at home. Great fragrance for that purpose
School of simp!
👍👍👍👍
Not a fan of the mirror in the background. I am a fan of Courtney and these videos though.
I knew I'd seen this face before. Teddy is very knowledgeable about watches, but neither know a thing about fragrances.
Morticia Adams where is cousin It ?
