Really good video Omar, the y edp instead of sauvage was spot on, y edp is a blue king right now, so much better, huge longevity , great compliment factor. I do not agree however about 1 million being outdated, still is a king but yeah super common, i use prive and i am hyped about 1m elixir that will be released soon. The Eros EDP is much better than eros edt for me and swy intensely >the most wanted but both are pretty close. Everything else tho i agree 100% great video idea, would love to see you talk about the 2021 fragrantica charts and top10s and your opinion on them.
I agree on the one million thing. I was talking to a 19 year old girl that used to sell perfumes and mentioned that one million was her favorite scent on a guy. Frag comm is really out of touch with the common folk sometimes.
@@jessecontreras447 Absolutely, people that have interests and knowledge about fragrances like to dis on it ,but I have a lot of female friends and I am yet to meet one that dislikes it, it is just a scent that works amazing, I really like it to be honest, sure I maybe prefer the prive flanker over but that does not stop me enjoying the og, it is a huge head turner and to this date one of the best sellers.
@@Tsvetan.Tsvetkov28 whether frag comm likes it or not… one million is destined to be timeless like bleu de Chanel and acqua di gio. Yes on the prive, an even stronger compliment puller than the original.
@@jessecontreras447 could not agree more mate, aqua di GIO is also amazing, I love the profumo mostly and profondo is nice as well, super versatile and great quality, Alberto morillas knows his stuff.
Another underrated winter fragrance that can replace spice bomb extreme is Givenchy gentleman only absolute... Found it completely by mistake, and I love it! Really unique and in my opinion, a great take on a cinnamon based fragrance.
I'm so sorry Omar, but La nuit de L'Homme is going to be part of my rotation FOREVER. I haven't found something as fresh and alluring as that for casual hangout nights with my wife.
Kajjal is twice the price of eau extreme tho, which already is a masterpiece. Why would you pay double the price for a slight upgrade ? Also a lot of people say it doesnt last for the price. Dont agree with that one, other than that, great video mate.
Totally agree with Instant Crush, it's unbelievable for the price. Mancera looks "expensive" compared to some designers, but the 120ml bottles and awesome performance means it's like you're getting a 200ml bottle for the price of entry.
Completely concur it's one of those which I think is underrated as a house.Its called an entry level niche house like it's a pejorative but it has scents which punch with the likes of Creed Xerjoff. Those houses may be more natural but more natural often sacrifices performance you need a good balance which Mancera and Montale have imo.Not all there scents are appealing but you can bet your bottom dollar with their expensive profile but they have something for you.
Hacivat is the new King no doubt!!! BR540 Extrait and Oud satin mood are the best from MFK imo. Both really beautifully done and have that sense of comfort around them. Instant crush doesn't even come close. Chanel Allure homme sport eau extreme is irreplaceable in my collection. Good video though!!! :)
I can definitely vouch for the longevity of Eros Flame. I’ve gotten over 12 hours on my skin! One time I applied it on my wrist around 10pm and could still smell it around 3-4 pm the next day!
I absolutely love Eros flame. Eros Didn’t sell well in China and it is hard to come by. Most wanted is a masterpiece I feel, for sure is replacing my flame/eros on rotation. Another great video Omar. Respect
I agree that the original Chanel Allure Homme Sport is a smoother alternative to Acqua Di Gio. I never put 2 and 2 together until you mentioned it. And Allure Homme Sport, not the Extreme one, has gotten me so many random compliments. I used to wear it a lot when I lived in Hawaii. If there's one area I disagree with it's D&G The One. I don't think I've seen anything that can match its smell. And it's smell actually isn't played out at all because so many people choose not to buy it - being turned off by its performance. But it's such a great smelling fragrance and it's better suited when someone is very close to you, really an amazing scent. Just had to get around the issue by bringing a Travelo atomizer and re-apply.
You are very much right about the D&G light blue intense, I get annoying scent on my skin that I had to wash it off immediately after wearing it, the OG light is much better.
Another great video. I actually prefer Bond number 9 scent of peace for men over aventus. Similar structure but not a clone. The dupe by montagne Parfums called the spirit of peace is also exceptional, running only 40 bucks in the US.
Great video. I would highly recommend “Cremo Spice and Black Vanilla”. It has a similar vibe to Spicebomb but much cheaper. It’s one of the most underrated fragrances imo
Yes I also get that smell of rotten egg on my skin after applying D&G Light Blue Eau Intense, I blind bought it and good thing is I bought the smaller bottle and I am going to give to a friend but I will definitely try the Bohemian Lime. thanks for the video Omar.
Anytime people mention Spicebomb Extreme or Bvlgari Man in Black nowadays, I feel duty bound to suggest Montale Oud Dream. High quality spicy, slightly sweet, hint of oud, performs like crazy.
Honestly, I have tried a few of these fragrances but I think Armani code profumo for men EDP is underrated but has one of the best scent in existence, a masterpiece combo of classic and modern style.
I appreciate your opinion & the video! A lot of people I know buy a cologne or perfume because they fall for the hype when it's new. My cologne collection has a mix of expensive & inexpensive brands. I buy what I like!
Ask Womans if they find one Million outdated. It is a compliment beast. There are tons of newer vids were One Million owns all other comparing Parfums. One Million has the best opening in fragrance history. And this is Art, and Art will never be outdated.
Yessss, I have a raw egg smell from light blue intense, as well as many other fragrances that have sea notes such as Aqua di Gio and Aqua Di Gio Profumo.
Good video but you should probably mention that some of these recommended fragrances are either discontinued and or difficult to get like Bleu electrique and Issey Miyake
I just have to comment on YSL LNDL Bleu electrique- I believe the hype and it was a mistake to have purchased. Luckily I was able to return it that same day I received it. The opening is smelling like pine trees and the dry down is powdery like talcum powder. If you like those notes go right ahead.
Wow that's super surprising! Isn't it amazing how subjective fragrances are? Because I completely disagree and am absolutely in love with it and find it way better than the original. I'm in no way being disrespectful here so please don't see it that way. I just find it so interesting how different each person can smell one thing and have completely different opinions on it right!
@@traderflorstock9497 i bought my Y le parfum on notino website and must admit that this flanker is awesome , long lasting beast mode. Room filler !! 10 hours + on my skin. Highly recomended.
As a North American, I have some issues with your videos because availability in North America is very different than in Europe. A few videos ago someone mentioned Prada Intense in your comment section which IS available here and you said it's hard to find. It's not hard to find in North America, it's at all the discounters over here and at a reasonable price. You mentioned Noir Ambre in this video which is brilliant, but incredibly difficult, if not impossible to find in North America.
There’s always will be opinions out there, but your job is to give people an idea, which is: everyone can use. I do believe: your intention is serving. Thanks.
Loved this vid! Really looking to try out the Catch Me If you Can! Omar, what is your take on solid colognes (solid state) - those of which are basically pure perfume oil suspended in a polymer resin, which you rub on your pulse points?
Some people say they get a sulpher smell from profondo as well when first sprayed..I didn't get that from light blue intense but I got a slight bleach smell that really turned me off.
Great video! I have pre-reform aventus which I think smells great. Hacivat is also amazing, smells great and beast performance. Cdnim edt is like a hollowed out version of aventus, just like the new batches.
Great review Omar. The only advise I have for you is I would suggest not to tell your viewers what fragrances don't last, which are better, etc. since scent is very subjective, skin chemistry is different on each person and everyone's preference is different. I understand these are simply your opinions but I wouldn't harp on putting down other fragrances simply because of performance or scent. Great review neverthless and keep up the great content! Shout out from Costa Rica
Thanks for your video Omar, I've taken your suggestions and blight bought fragrances with much success. Catch me if you can was a miss for me though. Good scent, but barely lasts 3 hours on the skin.
I have Noir Ambre its fantastic but I am not sure it's in a similar vein to La Nuit D'Lhomme and The One EDP.It does smell niche quality though to me Noir Ambre is more in the vein of One Million Prive and Boss Bottled Intense does the spiced Apple Pie thing but a niche twist. I think Le Male Le Parfum replaces La Nuit and Azzaro Wanted By Night beats out The One.As its Tobacco based scent with some freshness and spices but its more fruity/incense orientated than the one.
Prada black is a better version of the original Armani code. It smells very similar. I would say the most wanted is more like la Nuit delhomme just a better performing Less powdery version. I have the most wanted and it is similar to la Nuit delhomme very cardomom heavy. Jazz club is very similar to the one EDP with an added coconut scent.
Excellent video and good information, Omar. Gotta look into Catch me if you Can. Stay safe and healthy. Enjoy the holidays. Spero from Kingston Ontario Canada 🙂
I have both Nishane and Creed, that being said Nishane gives me a headache because it's strong, performance is great and the initial citrus is almost as good as Creed but the dry down goes completely in a different direction and it doesn't smell as complex as Creed Aventus. I even prefer the clones of Creed better than Nishane.
Decided to change up my scent game for, first time in 56 years. Been binge-watching men's fragrance reviews. You appear to be one reviewer/ content creator who responds to comments. I have a number of questions I would like to ask but don't know where to find answers. Any suggestions for information will be appreciated. My first question (2nd I guess). As reviewers point out the scents that make up a particular fragrance. I have no idea what many actually are. Bergamot, Amber (super shortlist to keep this post short-ish). Of course, many smells everyone understands, like citrus, leather, smoke (again shortlist for brevity). Is there a way to get an idea of what the (for lack of a better word) "component" scents that makeup fragrances smell like?? Great reviews, thanks in advance
Hey there, I think what would serve you well is what's called a 'discovery kit'. Will help you start isolating the various different notes in fragrances and maybe figure out what you like and don't like.
i never understood why would a fragrance be outdated :) is like saying eating your favourite candy from the 90s is outdated or listening to music you like. To me things like this are never outdated. I have over 60 fragrances now, from Layton to Oud Wood and most of the popular ones. You know at which the hottest 24 year old female coworker at my company said omg you smell so good last week and came 20cm near to my face? A fucking "Drakkar Noir" from the 80s i bought 3 weeks ago for 10 euros :)
Dior sauvage EDT AND YSL Y EDP. Do they smell similar. I wanna buy both or should I stick with just one and which one. . Have not heard much about YSL blue electrique. Is it better than sauvage and Y
Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme ( like Blue and Egoiste ) is blended to perfection and is not for niche noses or beast mode lovers. better compare that Kajal to fragraces from Les Exclusifs de Chanel. next time ask Maxaroma to provide you some samples from Les Exclusifs line....
That rotten egg 🥚 feel is the amped up aquatic intensity from the original D n G light blue ...it annoys me too kind of acquarium water not been replaced for years ..u take Ure hands inside feel the sluggish slimy water ..and the amped up acquatic note is quite similar to it ..
issey miyake noir ambre sounds really interesting. it seems available on escentual in the UK but for some reason the website says it can't ship flammable products to japan. that's strange, given that i regularly buy fragrances from fragrance x and there's never a problem.
I can see where your coming from with most of these others I don’t have as much experience with but will consider this when purchasing one but you lost me At AHSEE you might be the first person I’ve ever heard who recommended AHS over the Eau extreme although not directly Per se but that makes me want to try kajal because I think the eau extreme is a lot more unique that AHS I can get Versace pour homme for a third of the price. I was hooked from the first time I ever smelled the eau extreme and have yet to find anything that rivals it in that style of scent it has and will always be a staple in the collection not to mention it’s my wife’s favorite and she couldn’t care less about fragrances she usually only gives me her opinion if I ask for it despite a couple and this was one I remember the first time I wore it she like all ohhh mmm what’s that one called I like that 😂 it’s also gotten me as many unsolicited compliments as any other fragrance I’ve ever owned. Allure homme sport the first time I smelled it was just kind of blehh very lackluster IMO After I pick the alternative up you’ve recommended I’ll report back with my findings but I can tell anyone who’s never tried it you absolutely cannot go wrong with Chanel AHSEE it’s one of the brands best for men and I hold it in the same regard as BDC which I don’t wear as much because it’s really it’s best in warmer weather with eau extreme it has the versatility that you can pull it off year round would make a fantastic signature scent
Interesting! Can def see y edp being better than sauvage. Have you ever looked into Molton Brown's fragrances? I have samples and I love their Russian leather, oud accord, and cypress
Awesome video! Lots of information! This is my question: I used to use Calvin Klein "Be." I am looking for a similar "different" fragrance and hopefully longer lasting. What would be your recommendation?
@@SchoolOfScent I really enjoyed this video. I like this idea of alternatives. It’s good to learn about better alternatives and it also helps in order not to be redundant purchasing fragrances.
Hey Omar, I do get that egg smell from Light blue intense and ended up donating by bottle. What specific element is that so that I avoid it in other buys ? If bohemian lime isn't accessible what else do you suggest with a similar DNA.
Hey Omar, I'm looking to get a versatile, all year round fragrance excluding the likes of Sauvage, Bleu De Chanel, Y EDP and Dylan Blue as many of my friends own them. Any alternatives? Btw. Great video as always!
My suggestions Mancera Cedrat Boise EDP Fruity Fresh Woody Terre De Hermes Parfum(Spicy Orange Fresh Scent with great performance) Dunhill Icon(Mature affordable but more distinguished) Coach Platinum EDP(Similar to Savauge but has a strong pinnaple and vanilla combo smoother composition) Theirry Mugler Alien Man(Controversial but this is a brilliant modern interpretation of the classic aromatic fougure.)Gets hate in the community but it's a classic case of misinterpretation.This is also a fantastic performer which actually gets compliments yet is also more complex than the others enlisted if you really want to push the boat and stand out you can choose this.
MaxAroma sound great, but what’s the shipping and taxes like to the UK? Their website mentions a flat $40 fee for international shipping, so adding any import duty on to that could ramp up the costs? 😕
L'eau d'issey noi ambre is discontinued for some time and it is almost imposible to find. I found it recently somewhere on a UK site for £99 plus shipping cost cause I'm not from UK, I think it comes at too high a price for a designer perfume and I could find a niche perfume similar in smell to the same price. Maybe you could help me with some ideas here. :)) Nice video btw!

i never understood why would a fragrance be outdated :) is like saying eating your favourite candy from the 90s is outdated or listening to music you like. To me things like this are never outdated.

There is a difference between a ‘classic’ and something ‘outdated’ some things don’t ‘age’ as well in all art forms, that’s only my opinion however
Cool Water as an example is very outdated.
Your videos are just 🔥...... Very intriguing content.
Dior sauvage EDT AND YSL Y EDP. Do they smell similar. I wanna buy both or should I stick with just one and which one. .
Have not heard much about YSL blue electrique. Is it better than sauvage and Y
I’d say get both Y EDP & Bleu Electrique
Do you think Luna Rossa Carbon would fit anywhere in here?
Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme ( like Blue and Egoiste ) is blended to perfection and is not for niche noses or beast mode lovers. better compare that Kajal to fragraces from Les Exclusifs de Chanel. next time ask Maxaroma to provide you some samples from Les Exclusifs line....
Would you recommend The Most Wanted Intense or Parfum?
That rotten egg 🥚 feel is the amped up aquatic intensity from the original D n G light blue ...it annoys me too kind of acquarium water not been replaced for years ..u take Ure hands inside feel the sluggish slimy water ..and the amped up acquatic note is quite similar to it ..
Trussardi Riflesso is similar but better than yves Lanui, you have to buy and do a test for me it's No. 1
issey miyake noir ambre sounds really interesting. it seems available on escentual in the UK but for some reason the website says it can't ship flammable products to japan. that's strange, given that i regularly buy fragrances from fragrance x and there's never a problem.
Great video brother.
What do you think mfk 540 to TK No.4?
I always go to the gym.
can make a list for the best gym perfume.
best cheapest and mid range
U can’t get noir ambre issey miyake is there an alternative fragrance if so please let me know thanks
Thanks for the suggestions, also, what do you think about Oud satin Mood(or the Extrait) by MFK?
these are fantastic recommendations.
Is there any list of citrusy perfumes like issake Miyake??
I have sauvage and ysl y edp...I agree with yu...ysl is better because it's different
Yesss I indeed get it! like not rotten egg but like raw opened egg that was left outside for too long
Eros similar to The Most Wanted?? Or what were you trying to say?
I can see where your coming from with most of these others I don’t have as much experience with but will consider this when purchasing one but you lost me At AHSEE you might be the first person I’ve ever heard who recommended AHS over the Eau extreme although not directly Per se but that makes me want to try kajal because I think the eau extreme is a lot more unique that AHS I can get Versace pour homme for a third of the price. I was hooked from the first time I ever smelled the eau extreme and have yet to find anything that rivals it in that style of scent it has and will always be a staple in the collection not to mention it’s my wife’s favorite and she couldn’t care less about fragrances she usually only gives me her opinion if I ask for it despite a couple and this was one I remember the first time I wore it she like all ohhh mmm what’s that one called I like that 😂 it’s also gotten me as many unsolicited compliments as any other fragrance I’ve ever owned. Allure homme sport the first time I smelled it was just kind of blehh very lackluster IMO After I pick the alternative up you’ve recommended I’ll report back with my findings but I can tell anyone who’s never tried it you absolutely cannot go wrong with Chanel AHSEE it’s one of the brands best for men and I hold it in the same regard as BDC which I don’t wear as much because it’s really it’s best in warmer weather with eau extreme it has the versatility that you can pull it off year round would make a fantastic signature scent
you are right, I get a very bad note from Light Blue Intense, definitely it is not for me.
Interesting! Can def see y edp being better than sauvage. Have you ever looked into Molton Brown's fragrances? I have samples and I love their Russian leather, oud accord, and cypress
Thanks Kenji, no need to explore more of their stuff!
All the stock footage cracks me up
I d never replace the one edp. Period
Try noire Ambre
Great video bro
I got the most compliments from the Allure Extreme channel... what are you talking about?
Guys ...you can't go wrong with the one or spice bomb extreme
Awesome video! Lots of information! This is my question: I used to use Calvin Klein "Be." I am looking for a similar "different" fragrance and hopefully longer lasting. What would be your recommendation?
Use 212 men nyc
@@SchoolOfScent Thank you
I have MontBlanc Legend Spirit - one of my favorite summer fragrances…would Hawas be redundant, since I think that they’re similar?
Hawas would be the upgrade imo, check out our video discussing them and Invictus Aqua (they’re in the title)
Excellent video
Noire Ombre is a better amber fragrance than Prada Amber PH or PHI ?
I agree Nishane Hacivat takes the cake over Creed Aventus. Both phenomenal scents, but I'll rather wear Hacivat over Aventus.
The new Dior Sauvage Elixir... simply out of this world..
What about winter scents. I want can you give some affordable ideas for each season
We did a top 20 Winter Scent video 😉
I don't own any designers anymore. Only niche and Indie. Les senteurs in London do great niche frags
Yes, D&G light blue eau intense has eggy smell, I throw my decant after first application,
Excellent video! What woukd be an alternative to Pacific Rock Moss?
It’s unique and a great scent imo, bohemian lime by the same brand is also fantastic
@@SchoolOfScent I really enjoyed this video. I like this idea of alternatives. It’s good to learn about better alternatives and it also helps in order not to be redundant purchasing fragrances.
my favourite is nishane shem (2021). why? shem is a beast mode fragrance compare to my nishane nefs (2019). beware of fake perfumes nowadays.
Hey Omar,
I do get that egg smell from Light blue intense and ended up donating by bottle. What specific element is that so that I avoid it in other buys ?
If bohemian lime isn't accessible what else do you suggest with a similar DNA.
It's Calone, like in ADG or other acquatic fragrances.
I feel Michael Malul jet black enigma is a good substitute for the one edp
Hey Omar, I'm looking to get a versatile, all year round fragrance excluding the likes of Sauvage, Bleu De Chanel, Y EDP and Dylan Blue as many of my friends own them. Any alternatives?
Btw. Great video as always!
Bleu Electrique is your friend here
@@SchoolOfScent thanks bro 🤝
Missoni pour homme
Jimmy Choo Urban Hero!!!
My suggestions
Mancera Cedrat Boise EDP Fruity Fresh Woody
Terre De Hermes Parfum(Spicy Orange Fresh Scent with great performance)
Dunhill Icon(Mature affordable but more distinguished)
Coach Platinum EDP(Similar to Savauge but has a strong pinnaple and vanilla combo smoother composition)
Theirry Mugler Alien Man(Controversial but this is a brilliant modern interpretation of the classic aromatic fougure.)Gets hate in the community but it's a classic case of misinterpretation.This is also a fantastic performer which actually gets compliments yet is also more complex than the others enlisted if you really want to push the boat and stand out you can choose this.
I have the Y EDP... very good and clean, but not similar to Sauvage at all
Hard to find CNIT EDP for a good price.. Is the EDT close enough?
MaxAroma sound great, but what’s the shipping and taxes like to the UK? Their website mentions a flat $40 fee for international shipping, so adding any import duty on to that could ramp up the costs? 😕
L'eau d'issey noi ambre is discontinued for some time and it is almost imposible to find. I found it recently somewhere on a UK site for £99 plus shipping cost cause I'm not from UK, I think it comes at too high a price for a designer perfume and I could find a niche perfume similar in smell to the same price. Maybe you could help me with some ideas here. :))
Nice video btw!
It’s currently £42 on Escentual, as far as I’m aware it’s not discontinued
What for u is the best cheap long lasting cologne
I will always love 212 men nyc
That Noir Ambre is very hard to find in Australia and expansive on Ebay, sad because I really want to try it
Would you kindly review Alhambra perseus fragrance plz?
issey miyake noir ambre is not for sale in Denmark, like its legit impossible to buy? do you know if maxaroma ships to Denmark?
how about R U Serious? is it closer to Creed aventus than the CDNM EDP?
