So fun to see the two of you interacting and discussing your fragrances. I like how Mr. Scented takes his task so seriously and is thoughtful and respectful in his opinions.
This is interesting… my husband of 32 years loves OG Angel and enjoys all the gourmands. He is sensitive to “old lady rose” fragrances like yours is to figs😂. If he doesn’t care for a fragrance, which is pretty rare, he’ll say it has an old lady rose in it …🙄. So I stick w/ syrupy roses like Intense Cafe or Atomic Rose, Roses Vanille. It can get tricky, because I tend not to wear the ones I know he hates. But we’re so happy w/ 4 kids from ages 25, 18, 17, and 13 and it’s really my pleasure to have him love what I wear … we agree on most every fragrance. We even ask each other before a date or outing what fragrance sounds fun to you and that’s been a great way to get him interested in fragrance as well. The little things make life romantic ❤.
In my experience men love gourmands on women. I've had the most compliments when wearing Love Don't Be Shy, and back in the day Wish by Chopard which is similar to Angel and used to be my signature scent. More recently it's been LDBS, Gentle Fluidity Gold, Delina and Atomic Rose that have gotten me compliments from men. A male friend said I smelled gorgeous within seconds of sitting down next to him the first time I wore Love. VW Boudior too. Apparently men love La Vie Est Belle and L'interdit too but I wouldn't know coz I've only had samples of them so I didn't really get a chance to properly find out.
As a Man I 💯 approve . I Perfer Gourmand Scents on Women. Florals in the Right occasions if she knows how to pull them off . But yea We Perfer Gourmands and I don’t think I should have to say this but nothing masculine on women either not even in the slightest.
@@miamilivelife9583 Yeah, I agree. I don't like anything masculine. Even the unisex ones have to lean feminine for me. The furthest into true unisex fragrances I'll go is Grand Soir or Mhyrr and Tonka but even then I tend to layer them over something sweeter. To each their own like but I like to smell ultra feminine personally, even if I'm dressed in sweats 😂
Asked my husband, he likes gourmand fragrances like Lira and Panettone on me. When I asked about fragrances he finds very attractive he said Encens Suave and - Gris Charnel! Fragrance preferences really are personal.
Both great fragrances. I'm a guy and every time I've worn Encense Suave I get asked about it. I'm not really that into incense fragrances, but the way it's done here it's like a magic potion. Gris charnel I really like but it leans more feminine so I'm not sure how much I'll wear it. I need to try the extrait version.
Very interesting and fun video! Fig, sandalwood and tea fragrances are some of my MOST favourite notes. I have found that most men enjoy sweet, airy, lightly floral, and fruity fragrances. They'll say, "You smell really nice," or "sweet," or "sexy." I wear a lot of masculine fragrances - I love tobacco, oud, woods, and spices. I have also worn Tom Ford Oud Wood and received compliments from both men & women. I have gotten the most compliments from men when wearing Delina, MFK BR 540, A La Rose, Vanilla Woods, & Pink Crystal. I have gotten the most compliments from women when wearing Satin Oud, Hibiscus Mahajad Extrait, Jazz Club, Libre Intense, Bal D'Afrique and Patchouli Citrus. It all depends on the person - but It's always nice to be given a compliment that you smell nice!
My partner really likes fresh fragrances on a woman, mainly floral and aquatic ones. He also kind of likes chypre fragrances if they are not too strong. His favourite on me are Dior Pure Poison, Commodity Rain and Alfred Sung Shi. He hates gourmand and super sweet fragrances, and is not a fan of most woody fragrances on women. He always says that they are too intense and strong, so I guess that is a pretty common feeling among a lot of men 👀
Noticed and couldn’t stop my self from saying that you two look remarkably similar. Same face features; eyes shape,nose, u two talk the same way. same personality. Love you both as a couple. Stay blessed. Wishing you success n happiness.
My boyfriend likes fruitchoulis and straight forward patchoulis, florals, and soft semi gourmands. But he can't stand BR540 or Cloud and said to me both smelled like oyster 😮😅😂!!! So happy to see both of you again 💞!! Great video ❤!!
Your husband and I are 💯 aligned on fragrance preferences. Which can only mean one thing - he needs to start his own fragrance channel so I can get recs from someone I agree with! 😂
I totally agree with Mr. Scented that some perfumes are not wearable perfumes but just "scents" or "smells". I just tested one yesterday that I think smells more like that, than a wearable perfume. It's a newer one by Mancera that is pretty popular right now. The smell wasn't bad, but I couldn't see wearing it as a perfume, myself.
So funny about Gris Charnel! I had seen both men and women rave about it on here so I bit the bullet and bought a sample. It was nice enough, but I wasn’t sure about it… however, the very first day I wore it into work, I had a male customer compliment me on it! He said “I’m not sure what you’re wearing, but that smells really good” it honestly surprised me lol, made me feel more inclined to buy a full bottle.
That’s interesting. I sampled it and my husband and daughter both thought I smelled like a man. Do you think it leans masculine? It was quite smoky on me.
@@rainbowveil Hi there. Let me introduce myself since you seem to think you know me already. My name is Beth. I tend to vote democrat and am more socially liberal though I don’t much care for a two party system. I’m pro gay marriage. I’m not some crazy right winger or transphobe or mysoginist or whatever you seem to be insinuating I am, and neither are my kids. They’re open minded, free thinking compassionate people. And YET we can still identify some things in life that are traditionally masculine or feminine leaning. Like perfumes. Lol. And that doesn’t make us morally reprehensible. Lots of things can be true at once believe it or not. You get on me for putting people in a box yet that’s exactly what you’ve done to me. Life is short and it’s not worth getting so easily offended. I truly can’t imagine living that way. I hope you find inner peace and wish you the best. At the end of the day, it’s just perfume 😉
I'm chuckling, only because my husband lost his sense of smell about 6 years ago after a bad virus. Now, my younger daughter is my biggest critic of the scents I choose. The one perfume I get the most compliments on from men is the Versace Crystal Noir. And anything with a musky undertone. I really like the Bum Bum fragrance spray for the summer. I agree with you, Yana. Most men that I've encountered do prefer gourmand scents. I adore any fig perfume. I'm with Mr. Scented on Angel. It smells good on others, but horrible on me. Great video idea. Have a fabulous weekend!❤❤
My most complimented scents from men are Delina Exclusif and MFK Gentle Fluidity Gold. The OG Armani Code has been a timeless complimented scent as well
I agree with your husband about Le Labo. I actually bought a lot of their samples and I was shocked that I didn't like a single fragrance. 😣 but I think it's also my body chemistry.
This was hilarious and I thoroughly enjoyed this. I actually think these videos are so helpful. Not that it would stop me from buying something if my husband wasn’t a fan and I loved it, but sometimes I wonder about some of the more niche scents that I’m starting to get into due to RUclips. Like I never wanted to smell like cake in my life but after watching a million YT videos I started to question myself…. Like do I not want to smell like cake 🤔This helped snap me back into reality a little bit. ❤❤❤
I too, as a man (provided gender has any role in this), hate sandal wood when it is very prominent and intense. I can't say I hate it everywhere, since so many of the perfumes in my collection contain sandal wood, but when it is the main theme and absolute protagonist of a composition I can detect some spicy, aromatic (I agree with Mr Scented on dill) and almost rancid aspects that really put me off. Whereas I find fragrances in the vein of Tam Dao (where Sandal has been tamed by dry cedar) to be very nice - it is in fact one of the perfumes I could never live without. I don't even think it is a question of creamy vs dry, cause I love scents like Must de Cartier, or Guerlain Samsara (I'm mentioning these 2 classics cause they use to be pretty heavy handed on sandalwood back then) where the sandal is very creamy but doesn't give off those rancid and spicy vibes. It's probably a question of clean vs dirty and maybe that's where the differences in perception are - not necessarily between men and women, but on an individual base. Of course, fragrances such as Le Labo's Santal 33, Perri's Santal du Pacific, Morph's Animal and Stash are no go zones for me... On a side note, I still have to find a release from Le Labo that I like. I find them too simplistic, bordering to banal; so much so that you'd be better off buying essential oils or some cheaper offerings from your local herborist instead.
Totally agree with your husband! Maybe because I am highly sensitive, but many fragrances tend to be too strong or heavy for me. I feel more drawn to light fresh and sweet, maybe a bit powdery scent profile, as those feel the most appealing to my nose. Nice video! 🌸
Honestly, I think Philosykos is the best fig fragrance in existence. You don’t get hit with the syrupy sweetness of the fig because the fig leaf and fig sap freshen and balance the sweet notes. I also find it to be perfectly unisex.
Does fig have a green smell? I find that I don’t like most fig fragrances but not sure I’m picking up the actual fig. To me Phylosokos smells of earth/dirt and a really strong almost herbal grass, and it’s really off putting. However maybe I only pick up the green notes. I hear people describe fig as sweet but I don’t get anything sweet in most fig fragrances.
Enjoyed the video. I think different men like different perfumes, just like women do. My partner generally likes niche fragrances, but he goes crazy for the Sol de Janeiro. 😂
My husband doesn't like super gourmand and very sweet scents, either. However, he loves sandalwood on me. This is Her is one of his favorites. Also, all woody-vanilla and "clean" perfumes are always hits.
You two are so cute together...I appreciate that Mr Scented got on here to give us the male perspective. Check this out: I am a fragrance addict, have been since I was 14, I'm 41...I own well over 200 fragrances in my collection and my husband kind of hates fragrances in general...LOL! He's clean, he likes just clean skin and a light deodorant. But, he loves me enough to put up with my love of scents and I love him enough not to pressure him into wearing men's fragrance...So, people have different senses of smell, and I DO believe for the most part men just enjoy simple, clean fragrances...It's us ladies that enjoy the crazy, complex and loud perfumes. So, we truly wear it for ourselves...As we should. ❤
My husband HATED Baccarat. I don't have a bottle because of him. I also tried Cloud and Cheriosa 68, he immediately recognized the DNA - "Hey are you wearing THAT perfume??" OMG. On the contrary, He loves all my Narcisos, Gris Dior and Gypsy Water.
Oh, forgot to add: my husband absolutely LOVED the Gris Dior on me! It was the sample I got from your shop! I did too…so much so that now I’m stalking online stores for pricing on FB’s!
lol, well, sandalwood is my favorite note and has been since the age of 17. thankfully my husband loves it, as well. Now, I'm with your husband on the vanilla-caramel, ultra sweet scents! Nice to eat, don't want to smell like food. I also agree about Angel ... just never could enjoy it, even the OG version. Yup, I don't like coconut, either.
My husband dislikes all perfume for some reason - except for 4711 and Naughty Alice by Vivienne Westwood. If they made a fragrance with notes of diesel, sawdust and chlorine he'd be in!
Alberto Morillas made it! Gucci Guilty absolue pour homme! One of my husbands signature scents, I blindly bought it for him but fortunetely he loves it so much and always get compliments when he’s wearing it😊
I love a good discussion on perfumes! 👍🏻 Mr.Scented is very knowledgeable! 🙂 My husband loves Gris Charnel because it reminds him of the figs he had in Tunisia when he was young but he really hates any musk perfumes because it also reminds him of how people used musk to cover body odors in the 70’s! 😂
His preference is interesting and I’m glad that works for you all. I love gourmands and I also love natural and herbaceous notes however I get what’s he’s saying. I cant imagine if my husband didn’t like my frags because I love them all but I’d definitely compromise with him to find a collection that we’d both enjoy. 😮😉
My man loves fresh, sweet, fruity florals on me. Which works for me because that’s what I love. I hate fragrance that smells like food - it always ends up smelling super synthetic on my skin and produces headaches. Oh and anything with a cashmere note 🤮
I felt so validated when you opened up with The Noir and Gris Charnel. Lol This was a super fun idea. When I sampled Gris Charnel my husband made a face. My daughter said I smelled like the neighbor boy on the bus who wears too much cologne. I have sampled a lot of these and discovered I don’t like fig or tea or super woody scents, and I’ve always kind of assumed men would not like them on a woman. Not that it matters. Wear what you want, but I’m not surprised by some of Mr. Scented’s opinions.
I’m with your husband on his opinions. The sandalwood or strong woody fragrances I just can’t handle. But then again I’m a gourmand lover so you can’t get much more opposite.
Gourmand me! I'd have to say I would need to smell them off the skin. I totally understand your husband's take against certain scent profiles. Not sure if he and I agree on all of his choices. Alien was amazing off of a friend of mine. I haven't smelled the newest formulation. Great video!
I know exactly what you mean Gil. Certain scents/notes I would never wear as a fragrance, but if it was a candle, oil diffuser erc, I wouldn't mind. I just don't want to smell like fig etc.
It's definitely your man. I am a guy and I wear and adore Gris Charnel and get compliments mainly from men on this one. Which is fine for me. I love the smell of it in the air. It smells like Chai tea with coconut and sandalwood in the dry down and its heavenly.
I am absofreackinfakinlutely agreee with him !!!! 😉😛I totally understand what is MR. Scented saying .....some "scents" are ok scents but not on a lady as a perfume , they not bad but they are not matching with a body scents, they are ok in a bakery, etc. but not on a girl ....love you guys from HUNGARY, Budapest 🥰😍😘
Killian’s Love Don’t Be Shy has got to be the most vile smell I’ve ever stuck my nose into. I sprayed it on my wrist and had to scrub it off with soap. I absolutely loathe licorice and that’s all I could smell. I also agree that fragrances should have some level of complexity and be balanced so smelling one over powering not makes it a scent. My husband’s favorites on me are Guerlaine Samsara, Noah’s Cacharel and Chanel’s Chance Eau Tendre. He also really likes Born in Roma Intense, MFK 540, and Good Girl line. He said Tom Ford Black Orchid smells like grass but is pleasant.
My husband hates anything that smells powdery, musky, or like patchouli. And he smells powder in almost everything except very gourmand perfumes. He hates Narciso Musc Noir Rose because he smells powder and musk. I could cry. I think there is so much more nuance to fragrance, and he lumps every perfume into those three categories. 😭😭😭
My boyfriend hates most unisex fragrances on women. He also can’t stand Narciso Rodriguez For her (the whole collection but especially the OG black bottle, smells old lady to him) and Alien by Mugler smells artificial and like bug spray to him. He loves Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle intense on me and his absolute favorite on me is YSL‘s Black Opium (the OG). Black Opium is magic on my skin.
I know half of these scents and I 100% agree with Mr Scented. They are just scents not fragrances. There is no elegance or sophistication doesn’t matter what brand they are.
I like things that are slightly sweet, as long as it's not a sickening sweetness. And I test perfumes on my skin and get my husband's opinion before I buy one. He seems to prefer the lightly sweet fragrances on me.
😂 I love how y'all interact. Sandalwood is tricky for me. Some, like Piano Santal, comes off as pee. While Another 13 is straight up dill. However, others are absolutely beautiful. Niw, The Noir 29 is "me in a bottle." It's my absolute favorite!!! Gris Charnel is up there in my top 5 as well.
Fun video Yana. My hubby watched this with me and he was in total agreement with Sandalwood - never been a fan of it on me. It's the same with incense heavy fragrance - he's says I smell like an old church (and not in a good way). 😜
I don’t have a boyfriend or am I a realtionship but I have 3 brothers. But i notice my through my sister in laws. My brothers don’t like sweet sugary scents on them. One of my brothers like fresh fruity scents on one of my sister in law she used to wear dkny be delicious and bright crystal. Another one of my sister in laws doesn’t wear perfume, but I used to use the olive line from the body shop shower gel scent. So they like woody fresh aromatic skin scents. And my other sister in law wears more floral aromatic scents fresh scents. She love jo Malone English pear and freeshia, wood sage and sea salt Gabriel essence and Chanel chance eua tendre. She used to love the body shop French grape seed scrub.
You know, the Sol de Janeiro body mist - he's right! I felt the same. I couldn't wear it in summer, was too much and too sweet for me in summer. And I can't wear it in winter, it's too "light, fresh" and too sweet for winter. It's not cosy enough for winter really. I've felt this way for ages. I had a big bottle and sold it after a few months and trying to wear it in summer. I gave it a solid try, and really struggled. Sold it and used the money for something I liked more. Thank you for helping me feel less crazy for not agreeing with the masses who love that body spray.
@@TheScented I'd still like to try the '40. I haven't spotted it in a store yet. Haven't been to a perfume store in a while as I'm on a no-perfume-buy for a few months. Want to really use and enjoy the fragrances I have because I've been chasing new and exciting for a while. But the 40 is on my list to try next.
Oh, how much I agree about Gris Charnel and Kenzo L'Elephant. However, these seem to be the opinion of only one man so asking more men and draw a line with the perfumes most if all would hate would be more convincing that men hate certain fragrances. I love these typeof videos a lot, anyway
Ohh I absolutely love the sandalwood profile! I think its very safe for my job at a Drs office. My husband likes it. Yet he absolutely loves Prada Paraxodone ( original) as well as Glossier You ( he adores that on me and makes a silly sniffing sound lol!!!). He has never said he doesn't like a scent. It could be he's just too polite. Yet I personally cannot stand anything with a rose ( true rose not tuberose) profile. It is in my "scrub off" category! Hate it! I want to like it but I just do not! I love the smell of a fresh rose yet once it goes into perfume, candles anything like that yuckkkk!
Fun video Yana! In the outtake your man mentioned he might like an airy fig and Yesterday Haze by Imaginary Authors came to mind. He may like it. Not sure if you have tried it but to me it’s a light iris musk with fig in the background. It could be the fig fragrance that works for him 🤷🏻♀️
I completely agree about fig! I’ve tried and I just don’t care for fig whatsoever. There’s something salty/savory about fig that is just completely off putting. I’m still traumatized by Womanity. I’m also very picky about coconut. It can smell very cheap IMO.
I dislike a bunch of these too- that sol de Janeiro brand is the worst. I had some teenage guests in my home spraying that daily and it was pure torture.
I had been wondering about a couple of those that you mentioned as I haven't bought them yet. Good to know. Save me the dollars. Plus I'm trying to attract people. Found the comment about Kenzo funny especially since people tend to call things head turners. I definitely don't want to wear something someone is questioning or looking at me for that reason haha.
I’m totally on board with Mr.Scented’s taste in fragrance! I know what he means by scent (one dimensional and literal…no real art to it) versus fragrance (artfully blended scents)
My man loves gourmands on me especially when I smell like a bakery. 😂 He also regularly compliments black opium extreme and la vie est belle. But it’s clear he smells sandal wood and resins different than me. He’s never said he doesn’t like them (and he would) but I know they aren’t his favorites. My son says I smell dirty when I wear angel muse, which makes me laugh but I understand it. And he told me never to wear la capitale again ( I think it smells like oud to him) but to me it is so so good.
Oh my gosh I love when two of you do a video together 🙂To me the best fig fragrance is from Roger & Gallet Fleur De Figuier. I am not a fan of fig fragrances but there is something special in that one...
I personally don't like sweet fragrances or fragrance that smells like food. I lean more towards leather, oak mossy woody scents in winter. Versace Dylan Purple and Turquoise and D&G Light Blue Intense for summer. The coffee note in Black Opium ruins it. I don't have a gentleman so I wear what I like!
Lol my husband also hates fig and sandalwood and super gourmand scents! I also can't do the sandalwood trend. Accords my husband also hates are coffee and white florals. He pretty much only likes clean reserve skin and blackberry & bay surprisingly.
My husband hates rose, comments every time on MFK OSM and Commodity Velvet. Says I smell like pot pouree 😂 He loves Olympea, By The Fireplace and Changing Constance.
My husband wants me to smell distinctly feminine and loves fruit florals and rarely anything else. If I wore Ralph everyday he would be happy. He wears vanilla, boozy and woody scents and doesn’t perceive them as particularly feminine. And he hates BR540 and anything with a bandaid note.
Mr. Scented might like Comptoir Sud Pacifique’s Coco Figue. It smells, on me at least, like your skin after a day at the beach. I’m picky about fig (and coconut), too, and that one I enjoy. The opening is a little different, but softens and blooms so beautifully. It wears subtly and close to the skin, but lasts (on me) until I wash it off. Love these videos with you two! Y’all enjoy your weekend!
A sandalwood disliker?! Get your torches and pitchforks!!!! 👨🌾👩🌾🤣🤣 I agree about the problems with intensity though. I have that problem with woody ambers myself. Just an unrequested assault to the nose. I'm also not a fan scents that OD on ethyl maltol. Gourmands are fantastic, but I prefer the drier, less sweet ones and in modest amounts. Like...sissy spraying divided by 2. 😄 And UNDER the clothing. Por favor. As for woods and spices, I 🤎🤎🤎 them on women. And fig. Yup.😜 Case in point - Costume National's Homme edt. Men, women, errrrrvrybady. Give Fico di Amalfi a try too!
I like both sandalwood and gourmands on women, though I feel like all sandalwood notes aren't created equal. Santal 33 is one that I don't prefer. My current favorite fragrance to smell when my wife wears it is LuLu or LouLou (I can't remember) that is a strong vanilla and white floral combo. It is super potent but also very alluring.
I sampled angel and was instantly repulsed the dry down was intriguing but very musky and my boyfriend hated it. He said it was terrible so ladies do not buy mugler angel you will repel men lol
Some men like gourmand scents but others like Fresh scents or woody scents on women 😊 I wouldn’t want to smell a gourmand on a man. I love earthy or fresh scents on men
Fantastic video! ❤ You two are always so funny and informative 👍 give us some more 🙏 My hubby hates: Hermes (anything, especially Les Marveilles) , Baccarat Rouge 540, and he always complains if I wear „heavy, dense stuff”. 😂 To my surprise, he loves Miracle by Lancome, Rush 2 by Gucci and basically every perfume that is light, airy, flowery, and fresh 🙈 so, I wear all my ouds, sandalwoods and dark, dense roses to work 😜 just to intimidate men - very hepful at some ocassions 😉😉 have a great weekend!
OMG I hate Hermes Les Marveilles. Smelt it while I was pregnant years ago and still to this day I can’t even look at the bottle or I get flash backs of how sick the fragrance made me feel. 🤢 😂
Amazing, isn’t it? 😂 how well our brains remember scents! I had similar experience with Farenheight years ago. Whoever was wearing this scent made me feel sick. It was rellay popular among men at that time, so I was pretty tired of this 🙄🙄
So fun to see the two of you interacting and discussing your fragrances. I like how Mr. Scented takes his task so seriously and is thoughtful and respectful in his opinions.

Fragrances that repel men? Now, THESE I have to get💯

Don’t get Gris Charnel then. Most people (men too) love this
Same gurl!!

I'm with Mr. Scented on Angel. It smells good on others, but horrible on me.
Great video idea. Have a fabulous weekend!❤❤
My most complimented scents from men are Delina Exclusif and MFK Gentle Fluidity Gold. The OG Armani Code has been a timeless complimented scent as well
And these are the most disliked frags for me 😅
I agree with your husband about Le Labo. I actually bought a lot of their samples and I was shocked that I didn't like a single fragrance. 😣 but I think it's also my body chemistry.
This was hilarious and I thoroughly enjoyed this. I actually think these videos are so helpful. Not that it would stop me from buying something if my husband wasn’t a fan and I loved it, but sometimes I wonder about some of the more niche scents that I’m starting to get into due to RUclips. Like I never wanted to smell like cake in my life but after watching a million YT videos I started to question myself…. Like do I not want to smell like cake 🤔This helped snap me back into reality a little bit. ❤❤❤
I too, as a man (provided gender has any role in this), hate sandal wood when it is very prominent and intense. I can't say I hate it everywhere, since so many of the perfumes in my collection contain sandal wood, but when it is the main theme and absolute protagonist of a composition I can detect some spicy, aromatic (I agree with Mr Scented on dill) and almost rancid aspects that really put me off. Whereas I find fragrances in the vein of Tam Dao (where Sandal has been tamed by dry cedar) to be very nice - it is in fact one of the perfumes I could never live without. I don't even think it is a question of creamy vs dry, cause I love scents like Must de Cartier, or Guerlain Samsara (I'm mentioning these 2 classics cause they use to be pretty heavy handed on sandalwood back then) where the sandal is very creamy but doesn't give off those rancid and spicy vibes. It's probably a question of clean vs dirty and maybe that's where the differences in perception are - not necessarily between men and women, but on an individual base.
Of course, fragrances such as Le Labo's Santal 33, Perri's Santal du Pacific, Morph's Animal and Stash are no go zones for me...
On a side note, I still have to find a release from Le Labo that I like. I find them too simplistic, bordering to banal; so much so that you'd be better off buying essential oils or some cheaper offerings from your local herborist instead.
Would love more of these videos! Mr. Scented is so likable and it’s great to get the male point of view. You two are just too cute together! ❤
Totally agree with your husband! Maybe because I am highly sensitive, but many fragrances tend to be too strong or heavy for me. I feel more drawn to light fresh and sweet, maybe a bit powdery scent profile, as those feel the most appealing to my nose. Nice video! 🌸
Honestly, I think Philosykos is the best fig fragrance in existence. You don’t get hit with the syrupy sweetness of the fig because the fig leaf and fig sap freshen and balance the sweet notes. I also find it to be perfectly unisex.
Absolutely ❤
Does fig have a green smell? I find that I don’t like most fig fragrances but not sure I’m picking up the actual fig. To me Phylosokos smells of earth/dirt and a really strong almost herbal grass, and it’s really off putting. However maybe I only pick up the green notes. I hear people describe fig as sweet but I don’t get anything sweet in most fig fragrances.
Enjoyed the video. I think different men like different perfumes, just like women do. My partner generally likes niche fragrances, but he goes crazy for the Sol de Janeiro. 😂
My husband doesn't like super gourmand and very sweet scents, either. However, he loves sandalwood on me. This is Her is one of his favorites. Also, all woody-vanilla and "clean" perfumes are always hits.
You two are so cute together...I appreciate that Mr Scented got on here to give us the male perspective. Check this out: I am a fragrance addict, have been since I was 14, I'm 41...I own well over 200 fragrances in my collection and my husband kind of hates fragrances in general...LOL! He's clean, he likes just clean skin and a light deodorant. But, he loves me enough to put up with my love of scents and I love him enough not to pressure him into wearing men's fragrance...So, people have different senses of smell, and I DO believe for the most part men just enjoy simple, clean fragrances...It's us ladies that enjoy the crazy, complex and loud perfumes. So, we truly wear it for ourselves...As we should. ❤
My husband HATED Baccarat. I don't have a bottle because of him. I also tried Cloud and Cheriosa 68, he immediately recognized the DNA - "Hey are you wearing THAT perfume??" OMG. On the contrary, He loves all my Narcisos, Gris Dior and Gypsy Water.
So sorry for you
Smart man 😂
Oh, forgot to add: my husband absolutely LOVED the Gris Dior on me! It was the sample I got from your shop! I did too…so much so that now I’m stalking online stores for pricing on FB’s!
You make an excellent fragrance reviewing team! Looking forward to the next
Mr.Scent is a man of excellent taste. Class. He likes subtle and blended.
Men like this are keepers.
My husband doesn’t care for Gris Charnel but it’s is my most complimented from both men & women 😅 It’s my favorite to wear on rainy days
lol, well, sandalwood is my favorite note and has been since the age of 17. thankfully my husband loves it, as well. Now, I'm with your husband on the vanilla-caramel, ultra sweet scents! Nice to eat, don't want to smell like food. I also agree about Angel ... just never could enjoy it, even the OG version. Yup, I don't like coconut, either.
My husband dislikes all perfume for some reason - except for 4711 and Naughty Alice by Vivienne Westwood. If they made a fragrance with notes of diesel, sawdust and chlorine he'd be in!
Alberto Morillas made it! Gucci Guilty absolue pour homme!
One of my husbands signature scents, I blindly bought it for him but fortunetely he loves it so much and always get compliments when he’s wearing it😊
i love gris charnel. contemplating on buying it myself. its so soft and the drydown is perfection
I love a good discussion on perfumes! 👍🏻 Mr.Scented is very knowledgeable! 🙂 My husband loves Gris Charnel because it reminds him of the figs he had in Tunisia when he was young but he really hates any musk perfumes because it also reminds him of how people used musk to cover body odors in the 70’s! 😂
So funny to watch, I do like his sincere responses and you seem almost shocked. It's a fun video.
My husband also didn't like spicy, oud,pure gourmand,heavy scent on me..He like flowery, not overly sweet ,gourmand but still perfumey on me
His preference is interesting and I’m glad that works for you all. I love gourmands and I also love natural and herbaceous notes however I get what’s he’s saying. I cant imagine if my husband didn’t like my frags because I love them all but I’d definitely compromise with him to find a collection that we’d both enjoy. 😮😉
My man loves fresh, sweet, fruity florals on me. Which works for me because that’s what I love. I hate fragrance that smells like food - it always ends up smelling super synthetic on my skin and produces headaches. Oh and anything with a cashmere note 🤮
I felt so validated when you opened up with The Noir and Gris Charnel. Lol This was a super fun idea. When I sampled Gris Charnel my husband made a face. My daughter said I smelled like the neighbor boy on the bus who wears too much cologne. I have sampled a lot of these and discovered I don’t like fig or tea or super woody scents, and I’ve always kind of assumed men would not like them on a woman. Not that it matters. Wear what you want, but I’m not surprised by some of Mr. Scented’s opinions.
I’m with your husband on his opinions. The sandalwood or strong woody fragrances I just can’t handle. But then again I’m a gourmand lover so you can’t get much more opposite.
Gourmand me!
I'd have to say I would need to smell them off the skin.
I totally understand your husband's take against certain scent profiles. Not sure if he and I agree on all of his choices.
Alien was amazing off of a friend of mine. I haven't smelled the newest formulation.
Great video!
I know exactly what you mean Gil. Certain scents/notes I would never wear as a fragrance, but if it was a candle, oil diffuser erc, I wouldn't mind. I just don't want to smell like fig etc.
I like the way Gil was trying to explain the difference between the scent and the fragrance. I tottaly get what he mean
Both of you make the best team!! Love the video 😊
It's definitely your man. I am a guy and I wear and adore Gris Charnel and get compliments mainly from men on this one. Which is fine for me. I love the smell of it in the air. It smells like Chai tea with coconut and sandalwood in the dry down and its heavenly.
I am absofreackinfakinlutely agreee with him !!!! 😉😛I totally understand what is MR. Scented saying .....some "scents" are ok scents but not on a lady as a perfume , they not bad but they are not matching with a body scents, they are ok in a bakery, etc. but not on a girl ....love you guys from HUNGARY, Budapest 🥰😍😘
Killian’s Love Don’t Be Shy has got to be the most vile smell I’ve ever stuck my nose into. I sprayed it on my wrist and had to scrub it off with soap. I absolutely loathe licorice and that’s all I could smell. I also agree that fragrances should have some level of complexity and be balanced so smelling one over powering not makes it a scent.
My husband’s favorites on me are Guerlaine Samsara, Noah’s Cacharel and Chanel’s Chance Eau Tendre. He also really likes Born in Roma Intense, MFK 540, and Good Girl line. He said Tom Ford Black Orchid smells like grass but is pleasant.
I get attacked when I wear Bum Bum cream. *shrug*
but like, good attacked or bad attacked?😅
Yes, "Love Don't Be Shy" is awful to me. But everyone else seems to love it. So, I suppose I'm the monster. However, I do love gourmands!
You two are the most gorgeous couple!
My husband hates anything that smells powdery, musky, or like patchouli. And he smells powder in almost everything except very gourmand perfumes. He hates Narciso Musc Noir Rose because he smells powder and musk. I could cry. I think there is so much more nuance to fragrance, and he lumps every perfume into those three categories. 😭😭😭
Really enjoying these videos with Mr Scented!
I think his distinction between scent and fragrance is inspired. I would have never thought of it that way. I great video! Good job, Mr. Scented!
Subbed - hope you’ll keep doing these fragrance videos together 👌
Oh Lord I’m loving the thumbnail 🤣
My husband definitely prefers fresh light fragrance on me rather then heavy sweet or floral.
i'm with your hubby. I don't like any of the Le Labo's. Scent and fragrance? I adore the scent of grilled Steak but would NEVER use it as a fragrance.
My boyfriend hates most unisex fragrances on women. He also can’t stand Narciso Rodriguez For her (the whole collection but especially the OG black bottle, smells old lady to him) and Alien by Mugler smells artificial and like bug spray to him. He loves Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle intense on me and his absolute favorite on me is YSL‘s Black Opium (the OG). Black Opium is magic on my skin.
I know half of these scents and I 100% agree with Mr Scented.
They are just scents not fragrances.
There is no elegance or sophistication doesn’t matter what brand they are.
I like things that are slightly sweet, as long as it's not a sickening sweetness. And I test perfumes on my skin and get my husband's opinion before I buy one. He seems to prefer the lightly sweet fragrances on me.
😂 I love how y'all interact. Sandalwood is tricky for me. Some, like Piano Santal, comes off as pee. While Another 13 is straight up dill. However, others are absolutely beautiful. Niw, The Noir 29 is "me in a bottle." It's my absolute favorite!!! Gris Charnel is up there in my top 5 as well.
The Noir is incredible! ❤️
Dear Miss. Scented !!! What did u were on the first date ??? Plz tell us , what did you were the first and then the second date with him ?
My most complimented perfumes are without a doubt Portrait of a Lady (By men and women), Grand soir (women) and Delina (men)
Fun video Yana. My hubby watched this with me and he was in total agreement with Sandalwood - never been a fan of it on me. It's the same with incense heavy fragrance - he's says I smell like an old church (and not in a good way). 😜
I don’t have a boyfriend or am I a realtionship but I have 3 brothers. But i notice my through my sister in laws. My brothers don’t like sweet sugary scents on them. One of my brothers like fresh fruity scents on one of my sister in law she used to wear dkny be delicious and bright crystal. Another one of my sister in laws doesn’t wear perfume, but I used to use the olive line from the body shop shower gel scent. So they like woody fresh aromatic skin scents. And my other sister in law wears more floral aromatic scents fresh scents. She love jo Malone English pear and freeshia, wood sage and sea salt Gabriel essence and Chanel chance eua tendre. She used to love the body shop French grape seed scrub.
I think scentwise you picked a pretty compatible man for the most part. If I recall your not into gourmands either.
You know, the Sol de Janeiro body mist - he's right! I felt the same. I couldn't wear it in summer, was too much and too sweet for me in summer. And I can't wear it in winter, it's too "light, fresh" and too sweet for winter. It's not cosy enough for winter really.
I've felt this way for ages. I had a big bottle and sold it after a few months and trying to wear it in summer. I gave it a solid try, and really struggled.
Sold it and used the money for something I liked more.
Thank you for helping me feel less crazy for not agreeing with the masses who love that body spray.
My favorite (and the only one I enjoy from the Sol de Janeiro range) is the '40. The rest definitely lean a bit too sweet for our tastes
@@TheScented I'd still like to try the '40. I haven't spotted it in a store yet. Haven't been to a perfume store in a while as I'm on a no-perfume-buy for a few months. Want to really use and enjoy the fragrances I have because I've been chasing new and exciting for a while.
But the 40 is on my list to try next.
Oh, how much I agree about Gris Charnel and Kenzo L'Elephant. However, these seem to be the opinion of only one man so asking more men and draw a line with the perfumes most if all would hate would be more convincing that men hate certain fragrances. I love these typeof videos a lot, anyway
Ohh I absolutely love the sandalwood profile! I think its very safe for my job at a Drs office. My husband likes it. Yet he absolutely loves Prada Paraxodone ( original) as well as Glossier You ( he adores that on me and makes a silly sniffing sound lol!!!). He has never said he doesn't like a scent. It could be he's just too polite. Yet I personally cannot stand anything with a rose ( true rose not tuberose) profile. It is in my "scrub off" category! Hate it! I want to like it but I just do not! I love the smell of a fresh rose yet once it goes into perfume, candles anything like that yuckkkk!
Fun video Yana! In the outtake your man mentioned he might like an airy fig and Yesterday Haze by Imaginary Authors came to mind. He may like it. Not sure if you have tried it but to me it’s a light iris musk with fig in the background. It could be the fig fragrance that works for him 🤷🏻♀️
I completely agree about fig! I’ve tried and I just don’t care for fig whatsoever. There’s something salty/savory about fig that is just completely off putting. I’m still traumatized by Womanity. I’m also very picky about coconut. It can smell very cheap IMO.
I dislike a bunch of these too- that sol de Janeiro brand is the worst. I had some teenage guests in my home spraying that daily and it was pure torture.
Men love meliora and Greenwich village on me lol they tell me I smell like a fairy in a fruity rainforest ❤😂
I wear Gris Charnel Extrait as my mosk common signature scent...I'm a guy. I like it but feels it's masculine. I do like gourmands as unisex scents.
I had been wondering about a couple of those that you mentioned as I haven't bought them yet. Good to know. Save me the dollars. Plus I'm trying to attract people. Found the comment about Kenzo funny especially since people tend to call things head turners. I definitely don't want to wear something someone is questioning or looking at me for that reason haha.
True… you don’t want someone to notice you because they think you smell weird
Men seem to love Cloud by Ariana Grande and Donna Born in Roma by Valentino.
Can Mr Scented do a video on his favourite scents to wear with your thoughts on his choices?
I’m totally on board with Mr.Scented’s taste in fragrance! I know what he means by scent (one dimensional and literal…no real art to it) versus fragrance (artfully blended scents)
My man loves gourmands on me especially when I smell like a bakery. 😂
He also regularly compliments black opium extreme and la vie est belle.
But it’s clear he smells sandal wood and resins different than me. He’s never said he doesn’t like them (and he would) but I know they aren’t his favorites.
My son says I smell dirty when I wear angel muse, which makes me laugh but I understand it. And he told me never to wear la capitale again ( I think it smells like oud to him) but to me it is so so good.
My understanding is that Le Labo fragrances are unisex and some lean more masculine than others…
It’s funny about sandalwood. My husband couldn’t stand it in fragrance or incense burning, anything. He said it actually made him feel sick.
Cheirosa 62 is one of my most complimented scents in my collection 😅😅
Oh my gosh I love when two of you do a video together 🙂To me the best fig fragrance is from Roger & Gallet Fleur De Figuier. I am not a fan of fig fragrances but there is something special in that one...
Always enjoy Gil’s viewpoint on fragrances. I agree with him - I cannot stand perfumes that smell like the should be candles
I’ve been layering love don’t be shy with Chanel Mademoiselle and it really grounds love don’t be shy for me. It’s sooo good together!
I personally don't like sweet fragrances or fragrance that smells like food. I lean more towards leather, oak mossy woody scents in winter. Versace Dylan Purple and Turquoise and D&G Light Blue Intense for summer. The coffee note in Black Opium ruins it. I don't have a gentleman so I wear what I like!
Lol my husband also hates fig and sandalwood and super gourmand scents! I also can't do the sandalwood trend. Accords my husband also hates are coffee and white florals. He pretty much only likes clean reserve skin and blackberry & bay surprisingly.
My husband hates rose, comments every time on MFK OSM and Commodity Velvet. Says I smell like pot pouree 😂
He loves Olympea, By The Fireplace and Changing Constance.
My husband wants me to smell distinctly feminine and loves fruit florals and rarely anything else. If I wore Ralph everyday he would be happy. He wears vanilla, boozy and woody scents and doesn’t perceive them as particularly feminine. And he hates BR540 and anything with a bandaid note.
My husband hates gourmands on me. He usually loves aquatic fragances on my skin and some florals
What one man might hate, another might love. Might as well wear what you love and wear it for you!
Mr. Scented might like Comptoir Sud Pacifique’s Coco Figue. It smells, on me at least, like your skin after a day at the beach. I’m picky about fig (and coconut), too, and that one I enjoy. The opening is a little different, but softens and blooms so beautifully. It wears subtly and close to the skin, but lasts (on me) until I wash it off. Love these videos with you two! Y’all enjoy your weekend!
A sandalwood disliker?! Get your torches and pitchforks!!!! 👨🌾👩🌾🤣🤣 I agree about the problems with intensity though. I have that problem with woody ambers myself. Just an unrequested assault to the nose. I'm also not a fan scents that OD on ethyl maltol. Gourmands are fantastic, but I prefer the drier, less sweet ones and in modest amounts. Like...sissy spraying divided by 2. 😄 And UNDER the clothing. Por favor. As for woods and spices, I 🤎🤎🤎 them on women. And fig. Yup.😜 Case in point - Costume National's Homme edt. Men, women, errrrrvrybady. Give Fico di Amalfi a try too!
I love hearing his opinions! Even if he might have some hot takes with the gourmands!
I like both sandalwood and gourmands on women, though I feel like all sandalwood notes aren't created equal. Santal 33 is one that I don't prefer. My current favorite fragrance to smell when my wife wears it is LuLu or LouLou (I can't remember) that is a strong vanilla and white floral combo. It is super potent but also very alluring.
Agree with Mr. Scented. I also really dislike sandalwood.
he is sooo sweet!!!! I can't see my husband doing anything like this. likely for me.. my husband is anosmic! :)
I sampled angel and was instantly repulsed the dry down was intriguing but very musky and my boyfriend hated it. He said it was terrible so ladies do not buy mugler angel you will repel men lol
Some men like gourmand scents but others like Fresh scents or woody scents on women 😊 I wouldn’t want to smell a gourmand on a man. I love earthy or fresh scents on men
Fantastic video! ❤ You two are always so funny and informative 👍 give us some more 🙏
My hubby hates: Hermes (anything, especially Les Marveilles) , Baccarat Rouge 540, and he always complains if I wear „heavy, dense stuff”. 😂
To my surprise, he loves Miracle by Lancome, Rush 2 by Gucci and basically every perfume that is light, airy, flowery, and fresh 🙈 so, I wear all my ouds, sandalwoods and dark, dense roses to work 😜 just to intimidate men - very hepful at some ocassions 😉😉 have a great weekend!
OMG I hate Hermes Les Marveilles. Smelt it while I was pregnant years ago and still to this day I can’t even look at the bottle or I get flash backs of how sick the fragrance made me feel. 🤢 😂
Amazing, isn’t it? 😂 how well our brains remember scents! I had similar experience with Farenheight years ago. Whoever was wearing this scent made me feel sick. It was rellay popular among men at that time, so I was pretty tired of this 🙄🙄
My husband is the same he hates gourmands and he absolutely detests LDBS.
