Sebastian, you are fast becoming one of my favourite fragrance reviewers - an oasis of calm in an overcrowded genre! This was a great insight into aromatics, and I look forward to seeing you explore other scent families in the future 👍
So I've been in this community for about 3 years,collecting my own scents and collecting everything from Creed's to Zara's but I have to say the one that started it all, that brings me great pleasure to wear and always a flood of great memories is absolutely Drakkar Noir which I believe is an aromatic fougere. It was what I wore in the 90's and what I picked up one day many years later when I decided I needed something to wear at my new job. And from that new bottle of Drakkar I was hooked on finding that ultimate scent. Fast forward to today and I'm very much enjoying Tom Ford's Beau de Jour which reminds me a bit of my old faithful Drakkar. Thanks for this
I love The Soft Lawn; it is my favorite from Imaginary Authors. It starts off on my skin by smelling like dill but this lasts only for 10 minutes. After that, it settles into a thoroughly delightful romp through a tall, grass field. Love it. (And I love dill anyhow.)
Sebastian, don't be fooled by the bottle. If you haven't, you must get your nose on Juicy Couture Majestic Woods from their Royal line. Praline, Tonka Bean, Amber, Ambroxan, Oud, Guaiac Woods. It smells niche, totally unisex, and is extremely addictive. It's very long lasting, great projection, probably because it has an oiliness to the perfume. It is one that gets better and better as the day progresses. Others have described it as a more digestible version of Lancome Oud Bouquet. My Oud Bouquet (blind buy) arrives tomorrow, so I will most definitely wear one on each wrist for a good comparison. I have over 100 bottles of designer and niche perfumes, and this is my husband's favorite perfume I wear by a landslide. I can send you a decant if you'd like. I think you'd really enjoy it. *Edit- Oud Bouquet arrived and it smells exactly like Majestic Woods, but minus the jammy rose. I can't decide which I like more, but JC Majestic Woods is definitely more unisex, while Lancome is more fem. Considering Majestic Woods is only $40 on fragrancenet, I'd go with that hands down.
Issara is such a memorable fragrance. I agree with your take on it. I realized I liked aromatics when I started secretly borrowing fragrances from my husband's collection. 🤫
Well I thought maybe I was going to slow down on my fragrance purchases, but after seeing this, not so much lol!! Awesome lineup! I'm really loving aromatics more and more!
I got the most beautiful Oriental Vanilla Aromatic filled with sage, this weekend at Scent Bar! It’s so gorgeous from a wonderful perfumer and it’s not that expensive! Divine Vanille from Essential Parfums ❤️❤️🌹 I’m from So California! Hi up there in SF 👋🏻👍🏻
jennifer latifa I have been wondering about this one. Is it too heavy or sweet for a hot, humid climate? I’m on the hunt for a good aromatic not too sweet vanilla.
I thank you for every video. My neighbor wears YSL Y and it smells very good. I looked the fragrance up on fragrantica and aromatic was the first note. I thought my Xerjoff Naxos would be louder.
I started wearing the Green Water in the 70s when it was in a plastic(y) rubber outer green covering on the bottle..also the bottle shape has changed from then to now. Also..try the Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca...its the mint/citrus blend that is so super cooling and refreshing...you need to refresh after a while but so worth picking up...Thanks, Bob
Maybe because I was raised cooking with my family. I love this category. Fresh herbal and citrus’s are my favorite! I’m really enjoying lime basil mandarin JM at the moment. I’m so ready for spring😊☀️
I'm going with Sea Foam. I sorta think the Hermes but it was picked... IL. I just picked up an old one I've had my eye on, Azzaro Pour Homme Elixir Bois Precieux. Your language skills are awesome! Thanks for the review.
Thanks again for the deep insight. Now as we approach spring/summer how about the fresh spicy video you promised us way back. I already viewed your warm spicy....))
Lauro is definitely the love of mine :x I adore the scent, I think it also smells very expensive as well. I have sur le toit but I am not too much into it, I only spray it on when Im dull and drained, it has that energetic vibe.
one of my favorite aromatic green frags would be guerlain aqua allagoria anisia bella. very green aromatic. very long lasting and strong for an aqua allegoria. thanks for sharing, as always
I'm not a fan of calone/aquatics myself. I associate them with "sport" frags..imo. I've never tried any of Montale- they have so many. I was going to ask you what your favourite Montales are? I like beast mode/woody/spicy/animalics. I have Jacques Fath Green Water but my bottle is from the 90s.
I want to know the difference you know about feminine and masculine fragrances and how you know and scent or sense the differences. I am almost always exploring the spaces the styles and musicality and intelligence of scent and trying to arrive at a place where scent matters. It might be in the aroma or on the plate or palate or the nose. Thank you for making fragrances matter and aromas matter again
I'm guessing Hermes- Sur Le Toit:) (Lithuania). Thanks for reviewing aromatics! They've started my journey to perfumes, Lubin's Bluff is one I can't get enough of.
Aromatics smell great on some people, but I find they are often too masculine leaning on me. One exception is Gucci Guilty Absolute Pour Femme, which I find quite aromatic because of the prominent cypress note, but still love on me. 🌲
Great vid as always. Sebastian what is that smell can you explain please in for example Hacivat and Elisium that smells very bitter and I cannot stand it turns me off and the worst it in both of them this note last for ever. Is that a musk or what is it i am so 🤷🏻♂️. Thanks in advance
I still sort of don't understand aromatic fragrances. From my collection I think Amouage Beach Hut Man, Jo Malone Lime, Basil and Mandarin; and Strangers Parfumerie Salted Green Mango are considered as aromatic. Maybe Wood, Sage and Sea Salt too.
Good idea for a video content good info here but these fragrances are not that accessible maybe incorporate more accessible designer fragrances to really bring it home.
Another great aromatic aquatic/marine is Sel Marine by Heeley. Fantastic scent but really lousy one of the worst performances ever. Lasts only 2 minutes then one needs to reapply like 5 sprays ever 10 min to smell it. But great scent.

I learn so much from your videos. It’s like going to fragrance school. Thank you!
Just the video I’ve been waiting for with warmer weather approaching. Thank you!!

I love aromatic fragrances. This list is for me. I think you’ll pick Jacques Fath Green Water

I'll take a decant of your choice! It was I I do believe to go over the different notes. Thank you for doing this!
Very informative content. Love to see not only quick reviews but more focus on various fragrance categories.

I read “romantic” first 😂.. next video suggestion please!!
Me too! Hahaha, it can't hurt!
Thanks Sebastian for the recommendation on Mandarine Basilic. I purchased a bottle and absolutely love it. Great fragrance for the Texas summer.
My pleasure!
Great topic and educational as usual. Thanks Sebastian!
thanks , it's so easy to follow your fragrance reviews. detailed and also short notes to refer to.

Great choices Sébastien,
My guess is the Rosendo matheu,
Las Vegas NV
I'm guessing Hermes- Sur Le Toit:) (Lithuania). Thanks for reviewing aromatics! They've started my journey to perfumes, Lubin's Bluff is one I can't get enough of.

Aromatic spicy is my favourite I can’t get enough of them at the moment!
Yes I know Fougere Royale mostly from your videos :) In fact blind-ordered one a couple of days ago, expecting it tomorrow
I'm pretty new to fragrance and this is very helpful. Thank you!
You're welcome!!
Thanks for listing the scents and their notes. I love aromatics!
Thanks for the video, Sebastian. I gotta take down some serious notes.
Another superb video Sebastian !!
I like this type of videos - more please 😁 I bought Montale for my husband and he loves it and so do I.
For sure from fredric Malle 😍Portrait of a lady 😊👍. Germany 🇩🇪
I have no idea what you’re going to review, but I will say Woody Aromatic is my favorite! It all started with the original Burberry for Him.
Im guessing guerlain mandarine basilic. Love those informative videos Sebastian! Cheers from Croatia!
Green Water kicks butt - the 1947 version in the square bottle and gold cap. Haven't tried the new one, but I'm guessing it's not that far off.
Do you have an updated video on unisex Citrus Aromatics? I am already craving summer/spring scents :)
Love Hermes, owned Un Jardin Sur Le Toit, beautiful fragrance, super long lasting.
Great vid as always. Sebastian what is that smell can you explain please in for example Hacivat and Elisium that smells very bitter and I cannot stand it turns me off and the worst it in both of them this note last for ever. Is that a musk or what is it i am so 🤷🏻♂️. Thanks in advance
My guess is..... Penhaligon Douro! Commenting from Canada.
Hi Sébastien, what about clive christian noble xxi cypress..?
I cry that u sprayed Dusita Issara on a sample paper
Sounds like they’re all a hit!
Thank you
I love Herba Fresca💚Guerlain
Sorry for being late on this video.. what category is armani mania belong? The for men variant..
So in love with Lauro by Bottega Veneta.❤
Sadly it’s discontinued! 🥲
@@ThePerfumeGuy I know.😔 That's why I'm watching your videos to get an idea for an alternative.👍🏻
Great video and I enjoyed it and i like aromatic fragrances and im going to try these fragrances and have a blessed night
I noticed you move your bottles around quite a bit. I couldn’t imagine why, but does shaking fragrances hurt them at all?
Yes, to aromatic elegant fragrsnses:
Melagrana💚 Bottega Veneta👌💞
What about woody aromatic fragrances? Can you make a video on the wood notes? About the prediction is the Gerlain Allegoria Mandarine.
Love the selections. 💖
Wild guess for the perfume to review tomorrow: Bottega Veneta Lauro. Writing from Bonn, Germany.
Could it be The Soft Lawn, perhaps? California
Awesome!
Aromatics fragrances are my favorite... i would just add my signature fragrance, Carthusia Uomo, (wild raspberry, rosewood, marine oak).....
I'm from upstate NY. I'm guessing you're going to feature azzaro pour homme.
I still sort of don't understand aromatic fragrances. From my collection I think Amouage Beach Hut Man, Jo Malone Lime, Basil and Mandarin; and Strangers Parfumerie Salted Green Mango are considered as aromatic. Maybe Wood, Sage and Sea Salt too.
I love Gucci guilty intense. I believe it’s a aromatic fragrance.
Good idea for a video content good info here but these fragrances are not that accessible maybe incorporate more accessible designer fragrances to really bring it home.
Do you own Fougère Royale in extrait? I want to know if it is more masculine than the edp ie heavier?
Great review Sebastian. Learned a lot. I think you'll go with LES NEREIDES PATCHOULI ANTIQUE/PRECIEUX. Thank you! 🤗
How come lavender is considered an aromatic fragrance and not a flower?
Because lavender is an herb! :)
Thank you.
tomorrow's review prediction: Guerlain Mandaine Basilic ..From Brooklyn, new york
Tom Ford pink From Riverside,Ca.
Sur Le Toit - I'm in SoCal.
Hello, great video, you are going to review TIZIANA TERENZI - FOCONERO
Does Armani acqua di profumo fall under this category?
I believe so yes! More Aromatic Aquatic! :)
Dandg the one edp intense
*Clink!*
This genre is still so unexplored...
Eau capitale by diptyque ! UAE
Another great aromatic aquatic/marine is Sel Marine by Heeley. Fantastic scent but really lousy one of the worst performances ever. Lasts only 2 minutes then one needs to reapply like 5 sprays ever 10 min to smell it. But great scent.
It’s too bad there isn’t a product we could use to make the scent stronger and longer.
It's Vèneta not Venèta ;)
I said Veneta not Venèta!
@@ThePerfumeGuy you said Venetta
Personally not a fan :(
NO??
@@ThePerfumeGuy Don't like green, citrus and aromatics :(
Oh no. Okay you can't like everything! :)
Please lose the hat.
Losing the hat would be losing me it ain’t going to happen sorry you can’t deal with it.
