Ok, ok, ok... You convinced me to pull the trigger on Hanuman... Hanuman will be the 10th addition for me from BtV... Currently I have Blue, Auqa, Green and Tobacco Sapphire, Consort, Heroin, 1907, Knight of Love and my current center piece Valiant. Now I will have 2 center pieces... This house is absolutely amazing and my favorite!
Beautiful collection you have. I’m telling you, once you get that Hanuman, you’ll be in love. Alsooooo, and I hate to do this to you, keep an eye out for torero and hasu lol. Sample first, but those are remarkable as well. Green sapphire and tobacco sapphire are my favourites atm!
@FoodnFragrances Tobacco Sapphire is aaaaabbbsolutely amazing! No one seems to talk about the Mandarin Orange on top of the tobacco! Such a well blended fragrance and I would say one of the best I've smelled... OMG! I'll definitely check out the 2 you mentioned.
Great video sir I wish I had deep pockets to purchase Hanuman lol . I am a huge fan of Boadicea I only own 2 from this brand Consort and Glorious both are amazing fragrances.
Hey brother! That’s no problem at all, honestly, when you’re ready for it that’s when you grab it, buttttt in the mean time, sospiro contralto is verrrryyy close to it, so enjoy that one if you can for the time being :)
I couldn’t agree more. Excellent review and breakdown! Helped me purchase Contralto and Hanuman because d’Frique is like that! I’m now a subscriber so keep the vids flowing!
Contralto is a goat, makes the freak obsolete at this point. Hunuman is expensive and out of reach for me but I will have to try a sample at some point.
I agree with you, Contralto at its price point is truly one of the best fragrances in the market. Hanuman is definitely elevated, but not necessary. To me, I still crave a wearing of bal dafrique just because it’s the OG.
Just smelled byredo today. OMG!!!!! The scent is beautiful, but the performance is not the best. People told me to get Contralto Sospiro. I ordered a 5ml decant to test it. This was the review I needed to watch 💯
@@FoodnFragrances i received Contralto a week ago. It’s amazing!!!! I also have a 5ml of byredo. I compared the two, and contralto is what I preferred. Byredo was more floral, and contralto was a bit more citrusy. Overall both are great, but the performance and sweetness from contralto is what made it superior vs byredo. I purchased the Byredo roll on oil, and I layer it with contralto, for even better performance 😅
@@No_id_case_closed I totally see it, contralto has that extra something special to it that actually justifies the difference in price. I still love byredo, I think there’s a time and place for it, but contralto is literally love
I love bal D’afrique, to me it performs really well on my skin. I get 6 hrs roughly when I wear it. Contralto I get maybe 8 hrs of performance with it. It’s fairly strong and vibrant. If you try contralto, you will definitely get bal D’afrique vibes with it, but you’ll also enjoy the scent with its additions of citrus
You make excellent points of view. I agree with you on all. I am hesitant to get Contralto though as the ingredients list cloves which I hate in fragrances. Do you think you can smell the cloves? I am definitely getting Hanuman, it is sensational.
Hey! Thank you! So after experiencing all 3, Hanuman and contralto are very similar, the biggest difference between them is how they project. Hanuman has this sense of blooming off the skin, whereas contralto has a bit more punch. However scent profile, they are really really close. So if you like Hanuman, you will definitely love contralto
Does Contralto have a strong Vetiver note? Vetiver is my least favorite note and it’s very prominent in Bal D’Afrique so I didn’t enjoy the dry down of Bal D’Afrique. Thank you!
I don’t think it’s strong, I can see its contributions to the composition for sure but I wouldn’t say strong, where bal D’Afrique has a bit of that dry feeling, contralto has lovely citruses with the bal D’Afrique dna. Very similar, but just done better. I hope that helps bro. Get a sample first
Thank you brother, I appreciate that. Honestly. Contralto is soooo good. Everyone I’ve recommended it to loves it. It takes balls dafrique, and does a bit more to it, but in a veryyyy good way. I hope you enjoy it! Lmk
You know, it’s tough, because Hanuman is priced outrageously. If it was me and money isn’t an object, Hanuman from Boadicea, it blooms throughout its wearing. Otherwise, Sospiro contralto is superrrr fantastic, you’d not be disappointed 1 bit :)
Thanks for the video. Gave my D’Afrique as a gift and ordered Sospiro Contralto and Boadicea Hanuman just now based on your and another’s review. Great prices …maybe after Christmas discounting. Thank you!
Trust me, I totalllyyyy understand. It’s more so of a treat to myself. Fragrances are diverse like that. Soo many already smell good at different price ranges and the difference in raw materials and quality may not be what a person prioritized, and that’s okay. As long as you smell good, you feel confident, and you’re happy with what u have, that’s all that matters. 🍻
Honestly, for everyone, I think contralto is a must. The dna is flawless and universal. If you got money to blow, then yes, Hanuman, it’s perfection but unnecessary lol

Another competitor is Emir Vetiver Delight by Paris Corner which is a U.A.E. fragrance brand. The DNA clone is 90% or higher.
Thanks for letting me know, I'll check it out. I might consider checking out that house in the near future :)
How do the Contralto and Bal D'Afrique perform in your experience? I absolutely LOVE Bal D'Afrique, so I'm curious to know.
I love bal D’afrique, to me it performs really well on my skin. I get 6 hrs roughly when I wear it. Contralto I get maybe 8 hrs of performance with it. It’s fairly strong and vibrant. If you try contralto, you will definitely get bal D’afrique vibes with it, but you’ll also enjoy the scent with its additions of citrus

I wasn’t sure if i should get it, but this is a perfect explanation. Contralto is added to the list!

Yesssir! Thank you for the love brother!
Bro if i choose 1 to buy of these two in term of beauty of smell ,who will it be ?

I have a few boadicea the victorious fragrances but i can't just see myself paying 1000$ for a fragrance even though i have been tempted to lol 😅 😆 😂

@@FoodnFragrances indeed
Contralto Sospiro Perfumes
Oh you know it! Beautiful fragrance
I say get contralto.
Honestly, for everyone, I think contralto is a must. The dna is flawless and universal. If you got money to blow, then yes, Hanuman, it’s perfection but unnecessary lol
@ it can be seen as a bit feminine . I got my 1 Sospiro and that’s vibrato but contralto is very good
