The biggest takeaway I get from these duo videos is to find me a wife that looks at me in the same adoration and respect that Grace looks at Justin. It’s very obvious how much she’s into her man. Love to see it. ❤ Great video you 2!!
I'm always so pleased to see Encre Noire Sport in any fragrance video. It's such an underrated masterpiece of a fragrance and for the price you can actually buy it for, it's just criminal!
Was put on to Platinum egoiste in 99’ it had already been out a little while and it’s still going strong , classic but definitely not dated and great for the price
I enjoy your videos with Grace. Her honest responses and opinions are great. Reminds me of how my wife would rate those in my collection. Also, blind ratings show how difficult it is to differentiate and understand smells out of context with anything else in our environment or in our mind.
I just loved Gace’s comment; “this is how I know which fragrance I’m going to wear” 😂 and so know I know which fragrance I’ll consider purchasing. 😂 Wishing you both the very best in Prosperity, Joy and good Health in 2024. 🙏🏽
Interesting to see Platinum Egoiste getting a lot of love lately - a fragrance done very well but somehow slightly static for my taste. Unrelated, but would you recommend Sedley or 40 Knots?
Always love the content with Grace and Gabri, even though they’re brutal at times 😂 I’ve been wanting to check out the house of Chris Collins! Sounds like African Rooibos may be a good place to start!
Thank you, Justin & Grace sipping cup of Rooibos (Redbush) herbal tea lol. Thank you Chris Collins for your art work from South Africa 🇿🇦 Joburg South ✌️ & ❤.
Another great video! A couple thoughts: I really like Filosofia, but when I got my 10ml of that, Day Three Fragrances threw in a 1.5ml of La Tacita de Cafe as well and I LOVE that one. In regards to Absolu Aventus I LOVE it. It's my favorite version of Aventus. The others were mostly meh to me. My wife also LOVES Absolu Aventus.
Haha I noticed that future Justin ended your rant prematurely @21:30 😂. Personally, I love your rants! I think they are always good reminders for people to not get caught up in performance, compliments, and things of that nature. I got a little decant of field notes from Paris by Ineke based off your description in a recent video. For some reason I cannot stop smelling it. I think it’s the fresh cooling quality like cold air combined with a subtle warmth that for some reason I just love. Do you have any other fragrances you can recommend that have that duality and can be described as cozy or romantic? I appreciate any recommendations :)
Fantastic video!! Oh just FYI absolu Aventus can be found consistently around $330 on Facebook groups etc. Even on some other sites less than $350. Still too expensive in general and they should have given us the regular size bottle IMO. Thats my biggest gripe. That being said the smell is amazing
See this is why you are more then just fragrances. "Piano black!" That as an adjective is just awesome. Never heard that used in that way before. Come for the fragrances get blown away by the language choices.
Chanel Égoïste (OG) was my introduction to fragrance. My dad used to only wear it only special occasions, so the bottle lasted a lifetime with him. But when I discovered this scent and it's amazing profile, I couldn't help myself to secretely apply it on my own skin. I can 100% assure you, this perfume got me addicted to perfumery. My dad also wondered why his bottle was going empty so fast..
You really should have Grace smell this on your skin. I love Platinum Egoiste. I sampled African Rooibos and was disappointed. The fragrance is great, but it did not work well on my skin. I do intend to try some of Collins' other fragrances in the future. Put my nose to Arabesque last week when I was in NYC, and took a small sample home with me. That may be a future purchase.
One of those rare times that I get to comment first on Justin and Grace's video... Simple joys! 😊 Oh, and I may just borrow "fritrus" and/or "freshtrus" to describe fragrances in the future 😁
I can't jive with Encre Noir Sport... I've given it numerous wearings... I can't say I have 10 obsessions as of lately... but I'm reeeally enjoying M. Micallef DesirToxic at the moment
Justin your content is so great and you seem like such a likeable dude. I watch a lot of fragrance content creators and you're definitely one of very few I think I'd want to go for a beer with lol
congratulations on getting married! love you as a couple! can't wait to watch!! i love fragrances used to collect myself and feel like i have all i need 2 i have 2 teenage boys who are kind of into it and are liking versace dylan blue, issay miyake, legend, affordable but nice and school appropriate is what we're going for! love your content! also just ordered missoni wave for them...
I have several Chris Collins travel sizes and they are all excellent. I was sick on NYE but sent my husband to a party wearing Harlem Nights. That may have been a mistake on my part because he texted me asking what it was called so he could tell alllll the ladies that were asking about it.
Anytime Grace or her sisters make an appearance i prepare for a fragrance i like to get bashed which leads me to check the details of the video. Luckily, i dont have one from this list 😅 JC, any chance youd have a code for Day3 fragrances? Apologies for asking
@@cognacworldmusic1202 in my personal opinion, Mefisto is better, much more versatile and yet upscaling. On my skin mefisto also have a better perfomance, lasting about 8+ hours, pretty good for a fresh scent. Encre noire, despite being heavier, has really small projection in me, being a "skin scent" ever since the very first minute, lasting about 6h. Never had a fragrance like that.
Coffee beans are actually a bit of a faux pas! It’s simply more scent molecules going into your receptors. In my experience, it’s better to smell something more neutral like your shirt or your skin.
Yo Jus! I thought about a video idea while watching your channel and since you seem like a student of the craft, I figure you would be the best to do it. Tell me what you think... A video on flankers made by the perfumer and not the brand ie Ganymede Bois imperial kenzo
I’m not sold on that Chris Collins rating…seemed a bit more influenced other than the fragrance/scent. I could be wrong, but that’s just my observation.
this dudes voice has the power to put me to sleep. what a calmly voice , you should consider audiobook narration once you have reviewed all the perfumes out there
When i go to smell fragrances i just spray them in the air or inside the cap and smell it, its really usually just weird on paper so i dont do that anymore, if i like it i try it on my skin
The best thing to do, when you’re sampling a LOT of fragrances…. Have a small amount of coffee beans beside you. The coffee beans will, act as a palate cleanser for the nose. ( It’ll “ RESET “ the nose, if you will. )
Hi Dave. Believe it or not, that is a faux pas. You’re actually better off sniffing something neutral, like your skin or your shirt, in order to cleanse your palate. I had Grace do that in this video, but I edited those moments out for the most part.
No such couple. Disagreeing as a couple is not necessarily a bad thing (in fact it can be healthy in a relationship), it is how they present their disagreements and manage the disagreements that matters. Many couples disagree respectfully and even joke about their disagreements.
@stayfreshproductions Justin - love the content you're putting out with the Mrs. Have to ask you a personal question, have to ask you what fragrance you wore on your wedding day? I can only imagine this was a tough choice - but would love to know what you chose for such a momentous occasion. Peace!
You all hear all this "out of 10" B.S. that is going on, here? Every time that either JC or Grace say "______ out of 10", they really mean to say "compared to the immaculate conception that is Zaharoff 2nd Soul". Basically, every review that either of them are giving any fragrance is really just part of their effort to find another frag that even remotely compares to the GOAT status that is 2nd Soul, and how there are still any unspoken-for bottles of it remaining on the Zaharoff site for sale is beyond me. If you have any respect for yourself as a frag connoisseur, you NEED 2nd Soul in your collection, so that way you can compare any other scent to one of the greatest of all time. And yeah, I know, this isn't nearly as elaborate as my usual comments on here, but since Monday is MLK Day and a bank holiday, JC's weekly check to me hasn't cleared yet, I guess, so I had to restrain myself until I gets muh money. Maybe Venmo me next time, okay, JC? Cheers!
From Adamo number III is the worst, it smells a lot like a Hugo Boss fragrance I hate, II is really good and I is just good, IV and V are amazing and I like IV just a little more than V not much!
The biggest takeaway I get from these duo videos is to find me a wife that looks at me in the same adoration and respect that Grace looks at Justin. It’s very obvious how much she’s into her man. Love to see it. ❤
Great video you 2!!
Thank you!
Grace needs to start her own channel she's really good at picking out notes better than some reviewers.
I was thinking that thought too!
I agree. She is REALLY good 💯
She is good. But I don’t know about all that lol
@@YGA_QUEZ You wrong for that 🤦🏾♂️
@@Snk13_tyhow? Lol
I like how Grace has a relatable and believable scale for rating fragrances. Nice not to see too many inflated ratings.
I'm always so pleased to see Encre Noire Sport in any fragrance video. It's such an underrated masterpiece of a fragrance and for the price you can actually buy it for, it's just criminal!
Xerjoff Mefisto is a absolute must have in my collection. Rare 100ml bottle purchase
Love the subtle product placement in the back behind Grace's shoulder 😏
Wore that today like I have the last couple of Sundays I've had it.
I’m so glad!
Is that pegasus?
Was put on to Platinum egoiste in 99’ it had already been out a little while and it’s still going strong , classic but definitely not dated and great for the price
Definitely a classic.. I love it
@@carlosphillips3 yeah great stuff

AfricanRooibos has been my obsession for over 2yrs now. Insanely good! And PE will always be a champ
I love Justin and Grace videos, Grace is proper wifey material, love seeing these two so happy
I mean, it’s cool that Justin likes Filosofia… but now that we know Grace likes it, that’s how we know we’ve finally made it. Thanks Grace 🙏🏻
Interesting to see Platinum Egoiste getting a lot of love lately - a fragrance done very well but somehow slightly static for my taste.
Unrelated, but would you recommend Sedley or 40 Knots?
Never tried 40 Knots but Sedley is incredible. Summer freshie yet unique
I’d definitely recommend trying them, they’re great but completely different form each other
Grace changing the game. From now on I will describe frags as “Fritric” Fresh & Citric 🔥🔥🔥
😂
Yalls videos are hilarious the added animation is spot on!! Such an added joy! Great insight!! Much appreciated. 😊
Haha! Thank you Kelly!
Always love the content with Grace and Gabri, even though they’re brutal at times 😂 I’ve been wanting to check out the house of Chris Collins! Sounds like African Rooibos may be a good place to start!
Hey Grace and Justin, I have to say Grace, does an amazing job doing this. Ok back to the video
Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much!

It is 10/10 to me. So good

Yo Justin, I just want to thank you for turning me on to Chris Collins African Rooibos. The smell is steller.
Love Grace’s 1970’s vibe
Thanks so much!

We’re not trying to sell anyone. But whether or not you’re sold, the stuff is damn good.
But don’t take our word for it. Check out other reviews.

Gambi is good, performance is great, little designers
Thanks!
Hi Justin can you pls rate out of 10 wet stone , Akdeniz and Renaissance plz thankyou
Oh sorry can I also add vibrato 🙏
All three are great fragrances. I don’t think my rating out of 10 would be very helpful, I think you should sample all three if you’re interested
🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿 fav duo
From Adamo number III is the worst, it smells a lot like a Hugo Boss fragrance I hate, II is really good and I is just good, IV and V are amazing and I like IV just a little more than V not much!

I mean she's your wife i doubt you have a fragrance that she doesnt like.
Lol. NOT true. 😆
