    So agree with Carlisle and Oajan. I got a sample of 40 Knots and yes, i agree. It's extremely good. Probably my favorite fresh fragrance right now. If i ever come across a well priced bottle, bong bong. Will snatch it with the quickness. Le Lion is also the BOMB. Really animalic, hence the name. I feel like it's a more rugged bad man version of Dior Homme Parfum.

    i love mfk, oud satin mood extrait. Lasts for over 24 hours on my skin somehow, absolutely addictive smell with the jammy rose. I've noticed something though, my nose just doesn't pick up oud smells. Oud for greatness smells super plain to me for whatever reason, so when oud pairs with other fragrances as a supporter is where i like it the most like in the aforementioned satin mood extrait. Also love haltane by pdm, carlisle is right up there too. Initio it has to be paragon, about 12 hours on my skin and i absolutely love the plum note. Going to full bottle paragon and either satin extrait or haltane here in a month

    Good vid. My first venture into the world of niche fragrances was several years ago when I bought a bottle of Orpheon by Diptyque (odd that this perfumer is almost never mentioned in reviews). I had never experienced people near me asking what I was wearing until I started wearing Orpheon. As a hobby I follow these reviews from really informative to really freaky (Jeremy Fragrance). I just bought Ani by Nishane blindly after listening to several reviewers mention it is a must own fragrance before you die. My opinion? I will ever buy based on what reviewers say. I will listen, take notes and then SMELL if possible. ANI is nice but there was nothing out of this world about it at all. I rarely buy more than one fragrance from a perfumer but I now have 7 from Diptyque which for me is by far the best house of fragrance in the world with product prices ranging under $200.

      I own a sample of 40 Knots and a full bottle of Percival. I think you can wear Percival all year around due to its really good performance and the spicy and sweet notes it also has. I was a bit disappointed by 40 Knots to be honest (sorry Omar 😅). It reminds me of fresh laundry. I almost only smell soapy sweetness. The salt and aquatic notes are barely noticable for me. Maybe because my parents have often been buying hand soap with seawater aroma in the past. That is probably why I find it quite underwhelming. The performance of 40 Knots is great and if you like the DNA I think 40 Knots fits better into fall and winter than Percival.
