I received this 2 days ago. I absolutely love it! It is as you described and this is not a safe blind buy. But this smells like money to me. You perfectly described what this fragrance smells like. It's got great performance and sillage! Downside is I absolutely hate the sprayer haha. I'm a woman btw and this leans a little masculine but I know ladies who loves masculine leaning fragrance would love this. Thank you for your review!
Glad you enjoy Bros! And glad I painted a good picture of what this fragrances is like, that is my goal ultimately with these videos. Appreciate the comment!
I believe someone mentioned this fragrance below but Bentley for Men Intense turned my stomach at first. Twice I sprayed it on my wrist and had to immediately wash it off, there was a note that intensely disagreed with me. I decided to give it a normal spray on neck and chest and absolutely loved it. Don't know why the wrist was different, but I'm not going to argue! I just bought Blend of Lattafa from one of your previous video recommendations and it's wonderful. I can't believe it cost so little for such a great scent. I love Lattafa!
Watched this after seeing your recent hidden gems review as rose frags are what I’m after! My current favourites are Toy Boy, Lyric Man and Les Sables Roses plus I’ve got a few other middle eastern rose base scents. Really has peaked my interest in this too. Would like to see more rose base scents for the spring/summer profiled by you.
One fragrance I bought that really had to grow on me? Bentley for Men Intense. It was the furthest thing from love at first sniff. I was definitely imagining something else in my mind with what all the reviewers were hyping it up to be. If I could've sampled it in the wild? I never would have bought it.
I was the same with that one too. Was expecting something different. It has grown on me though, really enjoy it now, but need to be in the mood for it. Not a dumb reach for me at all
@@PostCologne agreed. Once I really began to like it, it became more situational in addition to seasonal. It's definitely not in the front of my lineup to just grab and go.
I don't know if I've ever changed my opinion on a fragrance that I didn't like initially- My issue is exactly the opposite. Some fragrances I really like at the onset, but eventually some note or quality in it ends up annoying me and I have a nearly full bottle that will never get used again. Fragrances that I don't like initially get a second wearing just to be sure, then I never pick them up again. I'm just not interested in something that I have to 'get used to'- because the people around me won't have that luxury. I'd hate to walk through a crowd of strangers/coworkers and have all of them think I smelled like cat piss on a cadaver- they aren't going to smell it long enough to understand the scent, lol. And quite honestly, neither am I. I wear fragrances for ME, but I'm also considerate of the folks around that aren't me. Again, love the content! Appreciate the work you are putting in :)
Yeah I try to do 3 wearings before I write something off entirely. And you're right about being considerate with others, so I don't go crazy on the sprays, or just wear it on days I know I won't be out much or at all. Appreciate the comment Michael! Thanks for watching!
You don't wear fragrances for you otherwise you would give it more than two wears and wouldn't care what people thought I didn't like oud for glory until the 5 th wear now it's my number 1 I love it it's a fragrance I will have 2 bottles in my collection
Hey PC. I never heard of this either. You have piqued my interest. I figure if I dont like it, my wife might. My challenging scent was the Encre Noire line. Hated them at first then, I grew to appreciate them.Thanks for the video.
It was a random find, glad I pulled the trigger on this one. I can see the encre noire being tough at first for some. I loved them right away, but can see why some may be turned off right away :)
It definitely has a slightly older feminine quality to it, like not old lady, but closer to mother than maiden. I don't recommend for teenage girls or 20 year olds. It has this almost mature, "I know what I'm doing and that's why I can break some rules" vibe in a sense? Not sure how to describe it.
I watched a review on this from the UK fragrance blogger and he was sooo excited about this frag. He said that this one actually is very similar to Side Effect by Initio. He also said he is a big fan of Side Effect. Well, just a side note ))
I wasn't excited not because it's a bad fragrance, just a challenging one for me personally. I can see how others would love this one if they are into that style of fragrance for sure. Took some time for me to come around to it
@@PostCologne well, sometimes it just takes time) I had it happened to me, when I almost hated perfume but then would suddenly fall in love with it. Ha-ha))
I do not have any idea why *certain people* keep comparing this thing to Side Effect. This is NOTHING at all like Side Effect, not even remotely. Do, does this person actually inhale 20 cigars a day or something? Like it's so not even close it's ridiculous. As per me and my skin, I think that it's really easy to listen to certain reviewers and hear like one or two guys' opinions and be turned off immediately by a scent (24 Hour Oud being quite literally the worst F'ing thing I ever smelled in my life, it's up there with fresh vomit, roadkill, cadavers, sewage, in fact it smells exactly what I imagine pruno made in a non-flushed jail toilet smells like) whereas certain other people will say meh on a cologne I absolutely adore (Aaron Hughes didn't like Man in Black, which is quite literally what I'm spraying on my wrist just for me to smell it throughout the day because it immediately brings a smile to my face, it was a blind buy and to this day my absolute favourite best smelling cologne). Well anyway I'm rambling but the point is you should really listen to PC's "challenging" commentary the most for the best possible appreciation of this fragrance, which on my skin sadly smells like cat piss almost, at least during the first hour's drydown. It's a really weird one and like OP has said, is actually pretty interesting from the artistic perspective particularly when you take note of the fact it's cheap and yet doing things you legitimately expect only a $120 a bottle cologne to actually do with its composition. "Eclectic" is how I could best describe this dance. Ooooo it's actually down to the point of being really oudy and woody on my skin now, so it actually smells good again, which it does straight from the bottle. It also smells pretty ok to decent on my clothes, it's just you should know and be warned of this: that damn synthetic saffron smell. I'm pretty sure that's what's doing the cat piss thing on my hand, and much lesser extent clothes (I'm beginning to suspect my dry skin just immediately absorbs some really important notes from the composition because this isn't the first time I sprayed myself and thought this smells like s*&$ and couldn't for life of me understand why anyone would wear this, let alone anybody pay $385/bottle like most notably Oud for Greatness that smelt so terrible and different I didn't even think to spray my clothes, which is where it smelt nice, ironically making the $40/bottle Oud for Glory from Lattafa much better for me because it weirdly smells great on my skin from the start). Bottom line is, always remember how much different is your body chemistry, and try to find a bunch of reviewers. Challenging is indeed the best way to describe that and I would definitely not overspray it. Oh man it really smells nice now. It takes such a weird and interesting meandering path, God it's like that one relationship (or all of them) that'd best be described as "stormy". Or "rocky" "melodramatic" "f'ing crazy m8" that's got high highs and low lows but nothing really boring. I can't even call the later on drydown boring, even that woody rosy almost vaguely lingering spicy/saffron is a very interesting smell. I do think it's unisex but possibly leaning into the feminine. Could be an interesting girl's night out I suppose. Not sure where I'd recommend a guy wearing it, but you'll definitely get focus. Maybe a business owner out about his day? Not sure. t. my experience
@@pandemicneetbux2110 JFC dude, you must have been having manic episode when you wrote that novel. Could be the longest comment I've ever seen on a fragrance video.
That sounds interesting, since I like rose scents myself. Eau de extrait though... lol. As a French speaker myself this makes absolutely no sense! For me it has to be iris in general that I initially couldn't stand. I never got into the whole iris bandwagon... until I got my Interlude Black Iris and I had a sudden epiphany and now I can't even stand the original Interlude, haha.
@@PostCologne Doesn't MIB have an Iris note in it? Or am I thinking of one of the flankers. Seriously considering Essence blind buy, though what I really want is MIB Intense but it seems impossible to find anywhere. Or is it Oriental MIB with Iris?
Hi there! I have a decant of potrait of a lady and this does not smell like that. Just thought I should let u know before you purchase in hopes of getting that.
I couldn't get my hands on Wafa by Ard al Zaafaran (UK) which is a clone of Kilian back to black. I have a clone of B to B by the perfume parlour (UK), and side effect by Initio, and Oud for glory amethyst (atomic rose). I'd say this is a hybrid of 3, and IS blind buy worthy if you are in the UK, it can be had for under £16 at the time of writing/$19, from ebay uk
Hey man , great channel , I Ve just discovered you recently , am working on my own channel , but it seems like you are making reviews on All frags I wanted to touch cause nobody is mentioning them , so it is motivation for me that I should boost some nitro engine if I really want to do some review first :) Blend of Lattafa - Khalta , is actually my Sotd - been testing it for a couple of days ( i took Oudain , Blend of Lattafa and Shari) and today I ve noticed the boozy notes as well , I don't smell any Jasmin even thou I smell other florals then just a rose , ... Opening is also lil too much for me as well, but later it gets much better and I can imagine it , as you say for well dressed situation but also in some casual scenarios like going out , dating or shopping , it's interesting scent but It is definitely not a mass pleaser ;)
Thank Marek! Khalta is definitely a unique one for me as well. Took some time to really break it down. Oudain and Shaari are amazing fragrances as well. Two of my new favorites. Thanks for dropping by, appreciate the comment!
Most reviews suggests this is as a beast mode fragrance?! Just got my bottle today, sprayed some on a test strip and could barely smell it after 6-8 hrs. Wearing on skin (wrists) now and it mildly projected for maybe an hour?! Do you go noseblind to this scent?
oh, hi) I'm one of your subscribers)) ANd I remeber I suggested Khalta to you once in the comments) It is a rather sweet fragrance and I get this cool powdery note from it on my skin as well. That's one of the reasons why I luv Khalta) But probably it is more suitable for gals tho)))
Thanks Native 78! I did check there, but it doesn't describe this fragrance at all. I did have someone point out the notes on Parfumo that line up much better to what I was experiencing
Mis-printed boxes. Probably released without any info as rejected boxes , it happens. No Eau de extrait 😂. All I can find says incense, Amber , woods , oudh. No mention of rose or any boozy notes ???? Mind you it’s Lattafa. There seems to be 4/5 in this range. Have on Notino in UK for £27 I think , absolutely no notes in description 😂

In the neighborhood of amethyst. Spicier rose note and that touch of boozy. Similar but different
