Contra for you is just an absolute beast !!! I remember I was upset I didn’t get a back up bottle. But I found another one about 3 months later. Definitely my favorite.. the Latin exquisite is just mind blowing.
I picked up a 2nd bottle of the layton one. Its such a great rendition. Easy to reach for. Lasts all day and the wafts are incredible. Stay humble brother!!
I just picked up Contra For You and Men Only Intense along with Together With You Always. I mean 45 dollars for 3 100ml bottles of inspirations of 3 very popular fragrances that you can't buy one of the original for the price of all 3 and they have atomizers that are better than some niche houses why the super 100k sub reviewers aren't talking about these doesn't make sense to me but you do and that works for me
LOL and I'm so glad they don't when they do their Little Rock Store videos and Pan the camera over top of them I'm like please leave that alone that's for me and my other people at my level LOL
@@fragrancefan Well the way I see it and I'm not saying anything bad about them but if sponsorships or discounters aren't promoting the product they don't get talked about as much there's a great clone house out of Serbia Chez Pierre that you can get a 10 piece 5ml sample set from which you choose your samples that has some great inspos but nobody talks about them but the best is how hated The Dua Brand is but they keep putting out more and more and selling out of a bunch of their stuff and now that they have the 33 dollar designer line 30ml of an extrait de parfum with beast mode longevity works for me
@@fragrancefan I literally just got it a couple hours ago, so I've only smelled what I sprayed in the store. But I'm definitely looking forward to give it a good wear sometime soon when it cools off
I would rank them as follows Intense (40 and up crowd), For you ((anyone) Pheros (anyone) , Latin (I returned this one. Way too sweet for my liking. Only Young People should wear this)
The only one I couldn't find was the black bottle. The silver bottle I wasn't impressed with, leans feminine The blue bottle isn't as good as detour noir but can't complain for the money The contra for you is the best, reminds me of invictus victory, or any hazelnut gourmand fragrence. Can't beat the price for the quality which lasts 12 hours
I hope 2024 brings a couple more. I just got GG intense EDT off eBay for $45 I will check it out. The Contra for You is Beast Mode atleast mine is. I definitely can smell the one EDP in it
Yeah Contra for you is hanging on my skin for way longer than most fragrances so you probably know that if I say 7 + hours it's hitting pretty hard because they usually don't do that for me
@@fragrancefanit was so funny my buddy from work was talking to me outside in about 30 degrees and Everytime the wind changed he was like “Man you got too much cologne on. They gonna send you home but what’s the name of it ?? Seriously what’s the name of it??” This was 90 minutes after 5 sprays and we were outside. I work 10 hour days and did not have to touch up. Total Beast
I bought 2 bottles of each for you and the blue one because I have the originals or both and these are extremely spot on. 🔥🔥🔥 I didn’t like the black one and the silver much
Sold all four of mine. It was fun hunting them up. But I'm shifting my collection towards Originals. If I had to rank them... 1. For Men Only Intense. 2 Pharos. 3. Exquisite Latin. 4. For You.
That contra men only reminded me of the Ben Sherman icon, which I already have so I left it on the shelf. The contra for you seemed really sweet, but maybe I’ll give it another chance if it’s still there.
@@fragrancefan I went back and sprayed both, walked around a bit planning to buy them but just couldn’t. Contra for you leans a bit feminine for me. I still think that the Ben Sherman is close enough for when I want something like that. It gets compared to Bentley intense and on Fragrantica, the Givenchy fragrance also gets compared to Bentley intense. Good review. Also, I used to buy all the time. It’s good to now be able to put them down and say “I don’t need these”, haha:
@@jlmcgrot yes and I have put down a couple like that there was one that I got today and I put it down immediately and I'm almost regretting it now that I got the dry down LOL
Contra for you is just an absolute beast !!! I remember I was upset I didn’t get a back up bottle. But I found another one about 3 months later. Definitely my favorite.. the Latin exquisite is just mind blowing.
I'm glad we share the same thoughts on those two fragrances a lot of people don't like the Latin exquisite
I picked up a 2nd bottle of the layton one. Its such a great rendition. Easy to reach for. Lasts all day and the wafts are incredible. Stay humble brother!!
Great review. I have the 2 best smelling one in this line and loving them both.
I love the contra line. I’m an Iris fan so men only is my fav
Yeah the iris hits in that one

Finally, after months of being on the look out, I found the one i was missing...Contra For You!
@@jorgeduarte9850 either the first or second best in my opinion
@@fragrancefan I literally just got it a couple hours ago, so I've only smelled what I sprayed in the store. But I'm definitely looking forward to give it a good wear sometime soon when it cools off
@@jorgeduarte9850 it lasts a decent amount of time. And you agree the scent profile is amazing on this right
@@fragrancefan yes it definitely is
I would rank them as follows Intense (40 and up crowd), For you ((anyone) Pheros (anyone) , Latin (I returned this one. Way too sweet for my liking. Only Young People should wear this)
Thank you so much for watching my brother

I could see the Amber bottle smelling kind of like Invictus Victory I think the Invictus has a bit more sharp spices in
@@fragrancefan I'm still on the fence about victorioso Nero/victory. Is it really long lasting like contra?
My favorite is contra for you such a lovely sweet spicy fragrance
Great video! Yes Latin exquisite royal edition my favorite! Much needed review of this line. GOD bless 🙏
Thank you so much my brother I've been trying to upload this thing since this morning LOL God bless
I hope 2024 brings a couple more. I just got GG intense EDT off eBay for $45 I will check it out. The Contra for You is Beast Mode atleast mine is. I definitely can smell the one EDP in it

Great video brother! Best assure, i will be on the hunt for these. so far, I've only found Exquisite latin royal edition. You got my subscription 👍
Thank you so much my brother I really appreciate that it really means a lot to me
I bought 2 bottles of each for you and the blue one because I have the originals or both and these are extremely spot on. 🔥🔥🔥 I didn’t like the black one and the silver much
Yeah I totally agree. I love for you and Latin tradition
Been waiting on this one.
Sold all four of mine. It was fun hunting them up. But I'm shifting my collection towards Originals.
If I had to rank them...
1. For Men Only Intense.
2 Pharos.
3. Exquisite Latin.
4. For You.
Yeah the hunt was fun
Nice review brother, I have men only intense and really enjoy it. It's been a while since I used it so think it's going to be my SOTN.
Hey that's awesome. Thanks for watching my brother
Great review! The black bottle is actually a dupe of Givenchy Gentleman Intense. The Reserve Prive clone is in a different style bottle.
When I smell them both next to each other it just smells like the reserve one to me but you could be correct. Thanks for watching
@@fragrancefan no problem. I definitely enjoy your content, and have made a number of purchases from your recommendations. Keep up the great work!
It’s actually the Reserve Privee.
I'm so so glad to to hear that. It means alot to me when I steer people in the right direction
@@fragrancefan you do a great job, and definitely have a taste similar to mine in fragrance.
Subbed. Like what you're doing my man!
Wow, that means alot to me my friend thank you so much 🙏
That contra men only reminded me of the Ben Sherman icon, which I already have so I left it on the shelf. The contra for you seemed really sweet, but maybe I’ll give it another chance if it’s still there.
Yes that particular contract is very sweet and the Ben Sherman icon is a bit more Pine woodsy smelling in my opinion
@@fragrancefan I went back and sprayed both, walked around a bit planning to buy them but just couldn’t. Contra for you leans a bit feminine for me. I still think that the Ben Sherman is close enough for when I want something like that.

I never can find the camara contra fragrances bro
They pop up sporadically and sell out almost immediately I go to Rack stores all over the place
Yea I’ve got lucky with some milestone fragrances but I have never seen a contra fragrance around here
@@jameslunsford4168 don't feel bad brother there's plenty that I'm Desperately Seeking to find LOL
