I agree with most of these Rotten. I have the Scent Elixir and is good. But I am glad I went with the Boss Elixir over Absolu. Ladies seem to love my choice I made.
Good top 5. I’d put Boss Bottled Absolu in there (at #1 probably) and bounce the Rabane. I was taken aback a little when you said you wished BBA had some sweetness. It definitely has that vanilla/tonka sweetness, especially as it dries down.
@ I do prefer the absolu but my experience with the elixir is limited to once visiting a Boss boutique and spraying it on skin and a test strip. I find the absolu more dimensional and I preferred BBA’s slightly sweet, smoky, leathery character to BBE’s dry spicy character. I really have to give BBE another wear or two to have a better informed opinion.
very professional content as always! btw here's my frag collection for next year thanks to your recommendations from your past videos: Summer - Acqua Di Gio Profondo Date - Spicebomb Extreme Formal - Armani Code Parfum Elegance - Prada l'homme intense Everyday - Prada l'homme
I bought Tom Ford Eau d'Ombré Leather, Mugler Amen Fantasm, and Boss Bottled Absolu this year. Out of those I really like the Tom Ford, but I LOVE the Boss Bottled!
It smells amazing but sadly I couldn see myself getting flack at work around others wearing it. It’s so unique that it might turn others off. I def want to try fantasm
If you're looking for that sweetness in Absolu, check out Montale Honey Aoud. I find them pretty similar in that warm spicy, amber-y, leather fragrance realm. Honey Aoud is just loaded with sweet honey and leans a bit more unisex and Absolu is the more leathery, macho sibling scent. And Hugo Boss Bottled Triumph Elixir Parfum Intense (yes the name is everything wrong with modern perfumery😂) but my god what a sexy earthy fragrance. Definitely for the Patchouli lovers.
Great list and great video! I still haven’t tried Le Beau Paradise Garden but from what you say it sounds like I would love it! Will seek it out when I start ramping up my freshies purchases! Happy New Year :)
@ honestly, I didn’t grab any new releases from this year. I worked on my “Niche” collection this year. Elysium PDM Althair Xerjoff Naxos Initio Side Effect Mind Games -Gambit,Blockade, and French Defense These were my favorite from this year !!!
@@rottenrebels very best is crazy lol. French Defense is my favorite But they all serve different purposes and seasons, but over all Elysium is the one that checks all boxes for utility. But do I love Althair 🥰🥰
I heard reports of a new Le Beau and Le Male Elixir Absolu too coming sometime this coming year, so maybe we will have a good year in Fragrance coming.
@ no they wrong .. have the people don’t even review on skin they spray on paper.. trust me I been in the game since 1995-98 or so and understand the quality and projection ..
@ the other ombres are stronger prob but not by much, the toilette was more of a market and branding thing so they have a toilet, eau parfum and parfum so they have all production all segments .. also noticed it’s made in Switzerland and not Paris like many fragrances … whatever they using in the Swiss is amazing quality ingredients and blend quality .. Ialso got initio atomic rose because it’s so addictive men and women can use
My favorite was Valentino the gold smelled it in store and didn’t have the funds at the time and when I went back it’s sold out everywhere around me and online. Bummer cause I want a bottle so bad haha
Its also good but feel its a bit too similar to Coral fantasy from same line, and that one was made better if you ask me. But you have your taste, go for it if you can see yourself wearing it
I just got Le Beau EDT. I wanted something coconut-forward and sweet, but light and fresh enough for summer. Now I’m wondering if I should’ve bought Paradise Garden.
It smells good in a very niche-like way. To my nose the scent of it is not that common among designers, and does lean more towards something you're more likely find from niche brands than designer brands. What are your thoughts on it?
I honestly cant stand jpg paradise garden to me it smells like sweaty musky coconut that is just cloying on my skin but to others i can see it working just not for me 😅
Have but waiting for summer to use the JPG freshie Boss Bottled Absolu so strong and addictive Still can’t find Scandal Absolu to sample at a USA retailer My top was Prada Luna Rosa Ocean La Parfum if they just called it Prada Elixir it would be on everyone’s list
I forget to say that with armani code i got so many comploment more then other ones with all girls i meeted ..its special and good mix and smell mature but not over strong in level that make other have a headig..verry balanced..i do trust your review more then other ones who give a review with affiliate links who are not subjectif ..keep going man🙏
I have a question regarding Armani code edp. What cologne smells similar to the original 2021 edp? That’s one of my favorite fragrances and it’s discontinued. I heard Prada Luna Rossa sport is similar or Le male Le parfum?
I really like Eros Energy. But its too light, thin, zesty and zingy. For me if it had ambroxan on the drydown, it will project and last longer and give it some depth. I spray it on my cloth and it last like 3 hours before become very intimate scent bubble. By hour 5, its all gone. Need to respray after 4 hours.
@rottenrebels i dont have that much this year perfume. But i really do like eros energy, TMWintense, rayhaan pacific and invictus victory elixir that become my weekly rotation.
I really need your advice Im looking for something for special occasions and elegant but no booze preferably a designer it doesnt have to be cheap but *affordable* like 100 dollars in that range Pls help im considering prada luna rossa black but im open to other suggestions
Great choices and reasonings behind them. One I keep going back and forth on is Eros Energy. Do I just like it or really like it? Is it too redundant? 🤷🏻♂️ lol. Oh I tried the new Dior Homme Parfum today
@ I tried the new DH Parfum out yesterday and while it’s not a flop I wouldn’t say it’s a hit. It’s prob better for the American market but it doesn’t beat the og Parfum. This one actually smells like you took DHI and mixed it with Gentleman Society OG. I actually prefer DHI over the new parfum and out of all of them the og Parfum is the best
Like this video (thank you! 😊) and comment with your favorite men's fragrance releases of 2024! 😊 Which 3 impressed you the most?
Eros Energy 💛 then Scandal Absolu, Tom Ford Eau d’Hombre Leather, Boss Bottled Elixir & Absolu (Hugo Boss is on a roll) SWY Tobacco.
@@Jules_Elixir So Eros Energy takes the no 1 spot? 😊
My fav reviewer of 2024, you get first place! Always honest and no shilling. Paradise Garden is absolutely amazing😍
Hugo Boss Bottled Absolu is also a banger!!!
💯 No affiliate links! No Discount Codes! This is a much more genuine channel.
@@pseudoty exactly!
I agree with most of these Rotten. I have the Scent Elixir and is good. But I am glad I went with the Boss Elixir over Absolu. Ladies seem to love my choice I made.
So you like Hugo Boss scent elixir over Hugo Boss Absolou ???
My top 3 are:
1. Guerlain habit rouge parfum.
2. JPG paradise garden
3. Armani code edp
Thanks for sharing 🙌🙌 So Paradise in your top 3 as well 😉 I have not tried that Guerlain 🤷♂️😊
Good top 5. I’d put Boss Bottled Absolu in there (at #1 probably) and bounce the Rabane. I was taken aback a little when you said you wished BBA had some sweetness. It definitely has that vanilla/tonka sweetness, especially as it dries down.
Thanks for sharing! 😊 Do you prefer the newer Absolu over the previous Elixir?
@ I do prefer the absolu but my experience with the elixir is limited to once visiting a Boss boutique and spraying it on skin and a test strip. I find the absolu more dimensional and I preferred BBA’s slightly sweet, smoky, leathery character to BBE’s dry spicy character. I really have to give BBE another wear or two to have a better informed opinion.
JPG Le Beau Paradise Garden blew me away! Valentino Green Extravaganza was a blind buy and I really enjoy it, but the performance isn’t as I expected.
Thanks for sharing! Which fragrances (released in 2024) would be in your top 3 of the year? 😊
SWY Tobacco is just perfection-and on of THE best Tobacco scents, bar none, imho
How it perform n which season u think it's gear too
very professional content as always!
btw here's my frag collection for next year thanks to your recommendations from your past videos:
Summer - Acqua Di Gio Profondo
Date - Spicebomb Extreme
Formal - Armani Code Parfum
Elegance - Prada l'homme intense
Everyday - Prada l'homme
Thank you and thanks for sharing 🙏🙏
Solid Collection 😉👌 Prada L'homme vs Prada L'homme intense.. Which one wins? 👀🤔
@rottenrebels prada l'homme intense hands down it's very sexy and ive been using it since christmas eve.
I bought Tom Ford Eau d'Ombré Leather, Mugler Amen Fantasm, and Boss Bottled Absolu this year. Out of those I really like the Tom Ford, but I LOVE the Boss Bottled!
Thanks for sharing 🙌🙌🙌
It smells amazing but sadly I couldn see myself getting flack at work around others wearing it. It’s so unique that it might turn others off. I def want to try fantasm
@ Yeah, Absolu is definitely not an office-safe scent, or Elixir. 😆
Yes, I have 2 bottles of the YSL Y Elixir disappointments…
RR, you need to get Christian Dior’s Oud Rosewood 🥰
My best pickup this year was TF Ombre Leather Parfum
Which is better the EDP or the Parfum of Ombre Leather? Im hearing the Parfum version (white label)
@@theonewhoisbetterthanyou3570 have both but get them for cheap i would say but go with the edp
If you're looking for that sweetness in Absolu, check out Montale Honey Aoud. I find them pretty similar in that warm spicy, amber-y, leather fragrance realm. Honey Aoud is just loaded with sweet honey and leans a bit more unisex and Absolu is the more leathery, macho sibling scent. And Hugo Boss Bottled Triumph Elixir Parfum Intense (yes the name is everything wrong with modern perfumery😂) but my god what a sexy earthy fragrance. Definitely for the Patchouli lovers.
Oud Minerale was my favorite from the year. Smells like the middle of the ocean during a storm.
Versace Eros Energy, Rabanne Invictus Parfum very nice;))
Great list and great video!
I still haven’t tried Le Beau Paradise Garden but from what you say it sounds like I would love it!
Will seek it out when I start ramping up my freshies purchases!
Happy New Year :)
Armani code parfum its so good and i have it for many years👌
Kinda surprised there was no mention of Givenchy Gentleman Society Extreme. That was my favorite of the year and is my signature scent now.
YOUR reviews Are Perfect ❤❤❤
Just got Scandal Absolu and I love it!!
Absolu is 👌 Is it your favorite fragrance that was released this year? 🤔😊
@rottenrebels definitely
I like it…but the original will always be the king to me as it’s the strongest and longest lasting of the 3.
I need a replacement for the original discontinued black bottle, Baryshnikov. Any scent profiles that match in today’s market?
Can’t disagree with your ranking.
Love the content
Appreciate it, thank you! 🙌🙏🙏 Do you have any favorites among what's been released this year? 😊🤔
@@rottenrebelseros energy for sure
Absolu from Boss, wicked
Thanks for sharing 😊🙏 Appreciate it 🙌🙌
My guy! Let’s go!
What are your favorite 2024 scents? 😊
@ honestly, I didn’t grab any new releases from this year. I worked on my “Niche” collection this year.
Elysium
PDM Althair
Xerjoff Naxos
Initio Side Effect
Mind Games -Gambit,Blockade, and French Defense
These were my favorite from this year !!!
@@Bucck_50 I have not tried some of those but some bangers right there. Side effect = 👌🤩 Which of those do you think is the very best?
@@rottenrebels very best is crazy lol.
French Defense is my favorite
But they all serve different purposes and seasons, but over all Elysium is the one that checks all boxes for utility.
But do I love Althair 🥰🥰
@@Bucck_50 😊
I heard reports of a new Le Beau and Le Male Elixir Absolu too coming sometime this coming year, so maybe we will have a good year in Fragrance coming.
D ombré is amazing I just got it week ago and it is very strong and last till next day on skin ! Amazing quality
Have to get it! Some said it doesn’t last or project as well as the others?
@ no they wrong .. have the people don’t even review on skin they spray on paper.. trust me I been in the game since 1995-98 or so and understand the quality and projection ..

The brother btw you are in my top 5 fragrance influencers!!!!
Keep up the Great Work!!!!
Happy New Years !!!!!!
Thank you 🙏🙏 Same to you! 🥳😊
I just got Le Beau EDT. I wanted something coconut-forward and sweet, but light and fresh enough for summer.
Now I’m wondering if I should’ve bought Paradise Garden.
Can’t go wrong with either one but I think you picked the right one for you
Why does almost everyone say the exact same thing about BossnBottled Absolu: its niche smelling. Why does no one say it smells really really good?
It smells good in a very niche-like way.
To my nose the scent of it is not that common among designers, and does lean more towards something you're more likely find from niche brands than designer brands. What are your thoughts on it?
I honestly cant stand jpg paradise garden to me it smells like sweaty musky coconut that is just cloying on my skin but to others i can see it working just not for me 😅
😊 What's in your top 3 of the year?
Thanx brother, great video n line up. Hope 2025 will treat you great. God bless 🙌
Thank you!! Same to you 😊🥳
Azzaro the black.bottle 😮
Have but waiting for summer to use the JPG freshie
Boss Bottled Absolu so strong and addictive
Still can’t find Scandal Absolu to sample at a USA retailer
My top was Prada Luna Rosa Ocean La Parfum if they just called it Prada Elixir it would be on everyone’s list
I forget to say that with armani code i got so many comploment more then other ones with all girls i meeted ..its special and good mix and smell mature but not over strong in level that make other have a headig..verry balanced..i do trust your review more then other ones who give a review with affiliate links who are not subjectif ..keep going man🙏
Thanks for sharing! Appreciate it! 😊 You mean code edp 2024? 👀
@rottenrebels yes👌
I have a question regarding Armani code edp. What cologne smells similar to the original 2021 edp? That’s one of my favorite fragrances and it’s discontinued. I heard Prada Luna Rossa sport is similar or Le male Le parfum?
Kenzo Homme, EDT Marine
Carolina Herrera, Bad boy extreme
Narcico Rodriguez, Vetiver musc
Thanks for sharing! What kind of performance you getting from NR vetiver Musc? I (unfortunately) do not get good performance out of it 🤷♂️
@rottenrebels Longevity 2-3 hours, and projection about 1 meter max. On a middle-hot day in Limassol. Great compliment getter. 💪🏼
My top 3
-Myslf Le parfum
-A*men fantasm
-Bad boy cobalt
Thanks for sharing 🙏🙏 Is that Cobalt Elixir? 🤔👀😉
@@rottenrebels elixir yes
First ❤😊
You gotta share your absolute favorites 😉🙌
I bought Armani Code EDT and I think I jumped the gun with this one. Should’ve waited for Parfum
Guerlain L'Homme Ideal Parfum
You should've tried Prada LR Le Parfum! I was looking forward to seeing what you would think! Oh well. Have a Happy New Year.
Same to you 😊
How about givenchy absolu black ?
I really like Eros Energy. But its too light, thin, zesty and zingy. For me if it had ambroxan on the drydown, it will project and last longer and give it some depth.
I spray it on my cloth and it last like 3 hours before become very intimate scent bubble. By hour 5, its all gone. Need to respray after 4 hours.

@rottenrebels i dont have that much this year perfume. But i really do like eros energy, TMWintense, rayhaan pacific and invictus victory elixir that become my weekly rotation.
it’s not on the list, but my favorite 2024 release the Gisada Titanium❤
Thanks for sharing 😊🙏 I have not tried that one.
I really need your advice
Im looking for something for special occasions and elegant but no booze preferably a designer it doesnt have to be cheap but *affordable* like 100 dollars in that range
Pls help im considering prada luna rossa black but im open to other suggestions
Eros Energy smells like a yellow Starburst and the drydown reminds me of the Qaed al Fursan drydown
Is that a good or bad thing? 😉🤔
@ 2 things that I like, so I guess it's good 🤣
@@mrcharlez666 🙃😉👌
Great choices and reasonings behind them. One I keep going back and forth on is Eros Energy. Do I just like it or really like it? Is it too redundant? 🤷🏻♂️ lol. Oh I tried the new Dior Homme Parfum today
What are your thoughts on the new DH parfum? And how would your top 3 of the year look like? 😉
@ I tried the new DH Parfum out yesterday and while it’s not a flop I wouldn’t say it’s a hit. It’s prob better for the American market but it doesn’t beat the og Parfum. This one actually smells like you took DHI and mixed it with Gentleman Society OG. I actually prefer DHI over the new parfum and out of all of them the og Parfum is the best
@ also my top 3 2024 releases are prob:
Paradise Garden
The Scent Elixir
Scandal Absolu
HM: Society Extreme
@@MoMoneyNoProbz 😊
You might rank the new Azzaro higher if you just forget it's an azzaro, it smells so unique and full of balls
BBA is not what i thought it would be. And everyone i wear it around, hates it.
Johnny Paul Gardiner paradise garden was better than expected
Which fragrance released in 2024 do you think is the best?
@@rottenrebels has to be Paradise Garden tbh
any thoughts on one million royal ?
It's the one from the 1 million line I currently reach for the most. 😊 What do you think of it?
@@rottenrebels it's so fucking good
I dont know why but i think my invictus rabanne le parfum is bad from production. because it smells so bad
Are we gonna get a video of which fragrances you used the most this year 😉❤
That's a really good idea.. Might just do it. 😉 Thanks for the suggestion 🙌😊🙏🙏🙏
@@rottenrebels Nice!! That would be cool😎 welcome
Didnt buy any Colognes last year into this year feel like its the same repeating crap and nothing new with these companies
I have 30 bottles here to see if I have any on this list. Bronx NEW YORK IN HERE
Eros energy was his worse take, that mess shouldnt even be considered
What are your top 3 of 2024?
I got two 125ml of Paradise Garden.
So it's your absolute favorite 2024 fragrance? 😉
