Another tip man, looks like you're in the bathroom, its not the ideal place to keep cologne the heat and humidity can either change or ruin them. A better place would be the closest or anywhere that doesn't shift in temperature too much with minimal exposure to direct sunlight.
Was gonna comment this 😅
Found that out the hard way with my eros
was boutta say the exact same thing
no fr i did that on my prada ocean. made it smell watered down af
@@eleazarrodriguez8822 same bottle, i left it in the bathroom and now it definitely smells different
He lists all the typical perfumes but his own collection is full of good stuff. Matches well with his vibe and personality.
he's fruity and gay af though
Yeah
Clothes actually hold the scent longer than skin. This is especially true if you have dry skin that will quickly absorb the fragrance.
Was literally about to type this but you hit it on the nose no pun intended😂
Yes but it will not project as well
I apply non scented lotion to the areas before I spray and that seems to get me around 6 hours
i cant put ANY fragrance on my skin whatsoever because i break out in a rash
@@idontkn0ww why did you even watch this video then lol
One extra tip when first starting out only one or two sprays max just so you can gauge on how the fragrance works off your skin and others reactions while they are around you. Plus staying smelling good while being subtle is part of being professional.
How many sprays depends on the fragrance too, like lighter fresh fragrances you typically go for more sprays than a heavier scent - like for example with spicebomb shown in this video I would keep it down low to a few sprays. But something like Versace Pour Homme you can pretty safely go for 5 sprays without offending anyone.
@@SuomenPaska i understand 2 or maybe 3 sprays max but five sprays of anything is going to be off putting specially in a professional setting or even as a first impression. If someone can notice your perfume from an arms length away that’s plenty and if they like it tends to draw them closer for conversation.
@@miltonmartinez6698 All I can say is that I have fragrances where you can smell 1 spray days later on clothes, while some lighter ones with 5+ sprays could be gone in couple of hours unless you stuck your nose right to the spot. There's a lot of variance in strengths and projections and that should be the basis on how much you spray!
another general tip is to not fall down the fragrance rabbit hole; more specifically, 5-10 bottles max for a collection (ideally with different qualities that you enjoy, naturally). its way too expensive to go beyond all that to not even wear the stuff you bought before. i absolutely love variety and its best enjoyed in getting samples😎
No way. It's about the bottle collection and added room decor 😆
You know, you probably should have mentioned this a few years back. It's a little too late for me now.
@@stoshhatch8988 loool i feel ya man.
Slowly going down this path
By the time you hit 5-10 it's already too late for you unless you have crazy good impulse control unlike me lol. Once you go past 1 daily scent you aren't coming back
A few mistakes here and there but good video and nice collection.
The higher concentrations don't always mean better longevity, for example, EDT sauvage usually projects and lasts longer than the EDP.
The longevity usually depends on the less volatile base notes of the fragrance. I'd say the difference can be summed up by vibe as EDT tend to smell fresher than the higher concentrations and usually stays closer to the skin due to less alcohol content. This isn't always the case.
Also, colognes tend to last longer on clothes, not skin but they project off skin more as your body heat makes the compounds fly off.
Your JPG is Le Beau.
He said the higher the concentration *usually* the longer lasting, he didn't say it's always the case lol
Thanks for correcting him. I was about to but didn’t want to type all that.
I have Sauvage edt and it does not last at all. Sauvage elixir will last forever so yes it does matter.
“Usually” doesn’t mean “always” sir.
No, but "usually" does mean "majority of time" - which isn't the case, sir.
Great guide!
Here are my favourites:
- Cool Water (Davidoff)
- Bleu de Chanel (Chanel)
- Santal 33 (Le Labo)
- 34 Boulevard Saint-Germain (Diptyque)
Was expecting this to be a big channel by the editing and video quality, then i see bro has 40 subs, your underrated fr
i've been working on youtube since middle school and not until now I figured out what I really wanted to do! I realize I like talking and drawing 😂 this comment made my day so thank you.
I absolutely LOVE L'Homme Ideal and Y by YSL ... They're both underrated and I get so many compliments from them. I felt validated when I saw you have them in your personal collection.
Yeah, I watched several videos till now and L'Homme and Y always are under the favourites.
Good tips. Here are some of my favs
- Guerlain L’homme Ideal L’intense (spicy peppery version of base)
- Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza (Italian barbershop scent, clean and soapy)
- Issey Miyake L’eau D’issey Pour Homme (punches way above weight for price, white flowers and citrus, reminds me of spring)
Hey props to you man, keep it up. It's always nice to hear another fellow fraghead!!
Honestly, super solid video for anyone who came across your video and didn’t know anything about perfumes.
So I have never felt the need to share this until now, because I assume your audience isn’t all “fragrance” people so I would love if someone gave this a read. I’m still very self conscious to tell people I like cologne, I feel it makes me seem weird. People seem to think you’re covering up something, or trying to mask another issue with scent, almost to the point where people will give you dirty looks for smelling cologne, or laugh/bully you if you show them your hobby. I know it’s not for everyone, but I think it’s very wholesome and intricate. I like to match my scents with clothes, or times of year, or times or day, or days themselves. You can style fragrance like women can style up/style down outfits. You can wear one that you think someone will like, and if they do, you can keep a positive reaction coming from that person. Colognes also hit memory olfactory system, meaning some people will smell you and think of something years in the past, could be overly positive or negative who knows, but that’s the dynamic of life. I think the act of knowing how, when, where, and why to wear a fragrance is the true embodiment of flattery, the antithesis of hubris. It’s entirely human. Something I think of a lot when people laugh at my hobby, it’s hard to explain to everyone.
I hear you and agree with you completely! I don’t let people bully me when I mention fragrance as a hobby. I don’t base my personality around it, but it’s kind of a part of me now like any other pastime! No one I know consistently wears cologne or has a collection like mine to understand either. Just keep being you, my friend!
I know nothing about cologne or how to wear it. It's very interesting how you mention you can style fragrance with clothes! any guides or tips?
I think the best way to look for the ideal perfume is to buy samples first before buying the bottle, there are several stores on the Internet that sell 5ml or 10ml samples and you can use them over time until you decide which one to buy a full bottle
Great video, I didn't know much about cologne before this. I have been mainly using Versace Eros as my everyday for the past year, I love it
Your quick vocabulary lesson in the intro taught me something new!
I don’t like Versace Eros 😅 but now you’ve made me wonder if I just got a bad whiff of it at the mall.
This is such a super solid perfume review!! Good for those who are new to this!!
6:12 “ultra male blue” 😂😂
btw when i am with the fragrance collection. don't who why but it makes me super happy.. you're video felt pretty genuine.. nice collection btw..i wanted to make a video about the basics of fragrance hopefully ..
Woo.. this was so simple guide. Thank you. And your collection matches with your vibe. I love it.
Thank you!! and yes haha
bro this guys too wholesome
Nice video
My favs are
-Mercedes benz club black
- Jpg le male elixir
- Parfums de marly sedly
- Versace eros flame
- Stronger with you intensely
Hey Tobey I just wanted to drop by and say this video of yours is so cool even if I’ve gotten the hang out of fragrances a month into it. Sharing this with my friends if in case they’d want to start too one day. Thank you! Spreading the love from the Philippines 🇵🇭
aww thank you kindly! and much love back!! :,)
Cutest, most understandable, cologne video ever made. This is great.
just getting into the game myself. my step dad got me a bottle of sauvage a few years ago and thats been my go to. but im trying to expand past that. will definitely be using some of these tips
ahh i'm so glad! I should've put in the things I regret when starting off but the big thing is DONT blind buy everything- coming from an impulsive buyer (me) haha!
@@19tobeythat said, how can I go about trying out fragrances?? Especially stuff that's NOT mainstream.
@@highsol222 Creators will often have sample packs you can buy, or you could purchase mix-and-match samples from a decanting site. 1-2ml is enough to test.
@@highsol222Buy samples or go to a fragrance shop that has the open bottles out to sample
@@highsol222 there are sites who sells like 1ml, 3ml samples
Buy some of them, wear and decide if you like it or not
Sick video man, love your editing and animations, had some amazing tips and a really sweet collection🙌
tysm for your kind words!! appreciate you and your time aha 🥂
i like the categories breakdown but in my opinion your 'general every day scent' should be something along the line of a 'blue' fragrance. They certainly have a 'fresh and clean' part but they usually mix it with something more woody or aromatic. Blue de chanel would be the classic example of a versatile every day scent; yes it's classier than most other blue fragrances and could probably work in special occasions (black tie and others) but for those i'd advice something different.
Another way to divide fragrances in categories would be 'season based'. Certain notes/smells work better in hot season while other in cold season.
correction: clothes will hold on to the scent longer
Correct, assuming he found this after the video was made
You can also mix 2 colognes that are similar (fruity,musky etc) and it will be a completely new scent
hey man, i watched a few of your videos and i really liked them! you have a new subscriber, keep up the good content!
awh I appreciate you!!
Sick video man love the animations and that its about fragrances
your signature scent is versace eros flame, its also my go to
Man made a whole lecture with limit fragrance knowledge and it a very good take. Can you imagine when he gets deeper? Bomb
I’m just a simple man who un-ironically says “it’s not that deep”
Gucci black is so good! Underrated!
love your video man, definitely wanna watch more from you :)
also love the necklace btw
tysm! and thanks the necklace was passed down from my family and I haven't taken it off aha :,)
Collection goes crazy once it’s out of the bathroom 🙏
😭
I really thought I found the perfect one for me. The opening was out of this world! But after waiting a little bit, it just smelled too much like roses. You really do have to take your time to find a good cologne that works for you.
Hey ~ you might just wanna store your colognes/ perfumes outside of the bathroom because the temp fluxuations and humidity can change them over time . I would just keep my daily in there because its gonna get used before it goes off, but like yeah its a good idea to protect them from light and moisture
Great beginner's guide for guys who just want to smell nice and masculine! Personally I hate "colognes" because they all have that intense ambroxan base that ends up smelling the same in the end. I love more unisex scents because they're more playful and you get to smell more unique!
I am a girl who wears perfume every blue moon but I really like your style of videos! I like the blend of animation PowerPoint and video footage
You deserve way more subs!!
Hey thanks for the comments it makes my day and yeah I finally found a good fun medium where I can talk about anything on my mind and share it! and I know somethings about perfume I mean the smell I really like is coco mademoiselle
you defo gatekeeping that eros flame😂 cant blame you tho, its my signature and im gatekeeping the hell out of it
it's soo good I already went through a bottle 😭
Bruh I have all first 4 colognes; glad you confirmed I’m on track :)
my signature is Bentley intense, but i also love wearing prada l'homme, YSL just like you have, JPG, Versace Eros, and Viktor and Rolf...
6:13 it is "Le Beau"
Jesus loves you
Amen Jesus is King
Skibidi dop dop dop yes skidibi dib dib
Allah loves him
Jesus is king 🔥
Alhamdulillah
Great video. Good breakdown. And yea, keep the best scents secret! XD it was the ending jam that made me like and comment. Good luck bro!
Thank you and the ending came from one of my close friends- we were rapping over beats at 4am and decided to record haha
Great video very underrated channel seemed nice funny and enjoyable. Also you have a very nice collection. Definitely subscribed.
Please make more cologne content(btw I love your vids)
Awesome video man, this my first video of yours that got recommended to me, but your production quality is insanely good and you're really charismatic man. Props to you man
thank you so much!! Ahh I appreciate your kind words!
the light blue men by dolce&gabbana is also really good and i find it really similar to acqua di gio. really great day to day/summer scent.
Another tip is DO NOT always for for the big bottles, 1.7oz is plenty when u got a growing collection, only go large if its a deal or youre really stocking up on something you like or is getting discontinued
For me
Winter Fall: Versace Dylan blue, can be smelled from high distance, godly scent, gets a lot compliments.
Summer: Aventus Creed, citrus fresh summer smell, u cant smell it on long distance, gets less compliments then dylan blue but a lot people says its nice.Still great unreal perfume.
I go with
1 work/office fragrance - classy so it can be used for formal occasions like weddings too
1 casual everyday, going out during the day for casual things
1 night time, going for meals one
1 chilling at home with your girlfriend type one- less harsh, maybe sweet and comforting but smelling good
Work/office/formal: Dior sauvage EDT - compliment beast, inoffensive, classy, fresh and great
Daily casual outings: YSL Y EDP - sweeter than sauvage but fresh, mass appealing, clean and slightly sweet and casual
Night time, dinners and date nights: Dior sauvage elixir - sweet, spicy, woody, masculine and expensive/classy smelling
Chilling at home in sweatpants with the girlfriend: YSL bleu électrique - sweet, fresh and no wood smells - just comforting and calm imo. Sort of interested in using YSL myslf for the washing powder chilled smell.
If I’m on holiday in really warm settings and want something really fresh and light, Versace pour homme for daytime use as the freshness and slight muskiness just floats perfectly in the warm air without being too harsh
My perfect 3 cologne trio
Every day fragrance:
Bleu de Chanel Parfum, Very woody and aromatic scent, making it perfect for 4 season wear as it’s most noticeable factors are not seasonal like a citrus or spice based fragrances though it really shines to its fullest extent at formal occasions in the fall and winter
Spring/Summer Fragrance:
D&G Light Blue Eau intense, summer/spring literally smells like you’re sitting on a beach in the Bahamas. The sharp/fresh/coolness stands out amidst the smooth, hot, summer air, and the most noticeable notes being citrus and aqua marine saltwater…I can’t think of a scent more Tailored for summer. This fragrance is the embodiment of sitting on the porch of a Florida hotel room on a vacation, and overlooking a gorgeous view of the beach, and enjoying doing nothing.
Fall/Winter Fragrance:
Mancera Tonka Cola, sweet and spicy, smells like Vanilla Coke with the nasal sharpness and warmth of cinnamon. Perfect for winter to cut through the cold, and the rounded sweetness and warm feeling stands out from the harsh sharpness of the cold air, the Vanilla Coke scent is also perfect for winter holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter as it fits right in with all the desserts and sweets that are traditionally consumed during those holidays
Very good list if you're fine with smelling like everyone else (first 2)
@@10pmmemes88 I agree that everyone uses Light Blue but there’s a reason that everyone else uses it, because it’s the best at its job. I vehemently disagree that everyone uses the Bleu de Chanel Parfum. A significant majority of people that use Bleu de Chanel in my experience all use the Eau de Parfum which is a fresh summer scent not the deep aromatic woody scent of the Parfum. The Bleu de Chanel name may be used by everyone, but the Parfum is far more unique within that bubble. I’ve recognized the Eau de Parfum on people a few times in public but I’ve never seen another person wearing the Parfum in public.
That Versace eros is worth it. Smells amazing. Also another good everyday scent for me is Dolce the one
Edt vs edp which is better
I've had dylan blue for about a month and a half as my first cologne. Honestly don't love it too much. I'm getting an Aventus clone next week so that'll be interesting. It has higher ratings than Aventus does. It'll probably end up as my daily and dylan blue will be my work frag.
Just got fat enough in the video and saw you have club de nuit intense man, the aventus clone. I'm getting the limited edition one. Cuts the pledge opening and makes it a more smooth fragrence. Can't wait
And a small note on the beginning. 5 sprays can be a bit. I stick with 3, occasionally 4. Inner elbows projects more than wrists, and back of the neck leaves a good trail behind you at nose height so people actually smell it. Just my 2 cents on how much and where to spray. If you want to do more or less than 2 find what you like, but I prefer being discovered not announced
I have mostly been using my dads Bleu de Chanel parfumerie to go out/ as a daily scent and his Eros flame once in a while but I think it’s more situational. I’m thinking of getting jpg ultra male as my own cologne as I think it smells great. What category of the 5 categories u mentioned does the ultra male fit in?
Edit: I realised my dad has Hermes h24 recently and that apparently the h24 is also a well liked fragrance. What category does that one fit in and should I start wearing it as well? (I’m 17btw so a bit young)
I mean me categorizing the colognes is just in general ya know you can always use any cologne in any occasion it's up to your judgement! and I actually own and given away the jpg ultra male, it's very sweet lots of complements great scent all through the day/night I can see it being an everyday cologne and personally I haven't smelled the hermes h24 nor was it on my radar but I think your guess is as good as mine when it comes to the appropriate time of use!
For me, the h24 is an office scent since it's a clean and inoffensive, kinda like freshly iron clothes
ultra male would be great for formal occasions and night out with a couple extra sprays
I recently got ultra male. Unless it is a formal and/or serious occasion or a hot day, jpg ultra male fits everything, specially dates
one that I like to do with my colognes is categorizing them by season. Jpg ultra male leans into more sweat stuff which is great in winter/fall bc they cut through cold. You can wear them in summer but if you do they become way too strong and cloying. I think you would not be disappointed if you chose to buy jpg. It's a great frag and since its winter you can have it as your daily or signature scent for a while.
Hey bro, nice video i instantly subbed. Although u could be more prepared when showing off ur fragrances😂 Great video!
Thank you!
i thought you have like 463k subs man your video is very well made i enjoyed it through and through! good job
Thank you!! Much appreciated :,)
@@19tobey btw get samples of fragrances you haven't explored yet and react to them for a video i think that would be fun :D i suggest amouage interlude and xerjoff naxos
my lil rotation goes
-Spicebomb: Night Vision
-Jean Paul Gauliter: Le Male
-Arturo Calle: Blue
get into arabic clones will save you 100s ( there are a lot out there that smell 1:1 or really close no one notices unless there side by side
)
where to buy?
I got dolce and gabbana the one, bleu de chanel and now Im getting the Eros edp for christmas. Im new in this topic but I absolutely love it. I will eventually switch out the chanel with another cheaper everyday fragrancebut not sure which yet. I didnt like dylan blue too much compared to chanel, it smelled more artificial.
My suggestion is to try out Stronger with You Intensely over Eros. It’s more sweet scent for winter. But you should smell it first.
Missoni Wave or Armani Code Colonia. Nice and clean scents
@@lemy5250 I thought about most wanted intense perfume eventually
Bro I love your collection fr
glad to see PDM in your collection, big W
Some good budget cologne brands are Cremo, Lattafa, Maison Alhambra, and Banana Republic
Another tip is to buy niches slightly used online. Often the owner will buy them, not like/get tired of them and sell them at much less than what they paid for.
Good idea which I used to try but with this method, you can often fall for fake & replica. So I don’t try this anymore, even some stores sell fake as original. I only buy my perfume from the main store or during Duty free store whenever I travel.
There are discounters online… like Fragrancenet and Jomashop, that sell Testers( with or without a cap) for very affordable prices :)
Yeah watch out for fakes tho:(
I really love Versace eau fraiche as my everyday fragrance and The Scent by hugo boss as a more winter ish fragrance
love the video helps alot is interesting so i dropped a sub ur now at 999 ur so close bro!!
THANK YOU SOO MUCH AND I KNOWWW AHHHH
There’s a lot of stuff here that as a perfume enthusiast irks me but as an introduction to FRAGRANCE (the generic term people in the hobby use, cologne is a concentration of very diluted perfume) this is ok I guess. Your Le male Bottle is called Le Beau. Acqua di gio is the fragrance name, not the brand name (which is Giorgio Armani). That lattafa clone is a clone of “Angel share” by killian.
P.S while Parfum De marly is niche by the industry definition of “not making stuff other than perfume” it is pretty much the most popular “niche brand” other than creed (which is a whole other bag of worms I’m not willing to get into)
So yeah sorry to dump this all out here it’s just small grips I had to correct for myself. You did a decent job
i wouldn't say khamrah is a clone of angels share, although some people believe it
WHAT DID U CALL LE BEAU???
you will blow up for sure, great personality
Not all fragrances are expensive, you can buy really great smelling fragrances for under 50 dollars. Also most of the fragrances you used are hella mainstream and not very unique, I love niche middle eastern scents. Also my cologne hot take is that Joop Homme is a gorgeous scent
based off your taste already i would hate to walk past you in a office. gon have me walking into a barnyard with them middle eastern oud elixers
@@eleazarrodriguez8822 lol yes
Wow! Joop is my personal favorite cologne
they’re called niche for a reason, many times hit or miss. designers aka mainstream are more mass appeal, since this is a beginner guide, getting a designer are usually better
way too many trash arab juice on the market they're overrated
idk how the algoriith sent me this video but i like it. nice job
hey thanks for watching!
fw your personality man. had to sub
my go to is Flavia Platinum, ive been meaning to expand my scents so this video may help.
I'm gonna take a guess that your signature scent is that Versace Eros Flame sitting down there that you suspiciously never showed off. 😏
Versace eros flame is FIRE
let me guess, ur signature scent is versace eros flame?
its the only one you didnt show in the video
IVE BEEN FOUND OUT haha
Very nice fragrence collection and great video for beginners you explain the parfums very good aswell (its not ultra male its le beau edt)
As someone who cannot hold a scent for longer than 5 minutes, this was a very helpful guide.
guys who are into perfumes>>>>
For the people who want to know his signature scent, its the Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Le Parfum, saw it in the middle of his collection but he didn't review
Amazing choice Tobey I honestly love that fragrance and it's just a masterpiece of a cologne
Oooo thanks for covering for me 🥹
NO!! That is Le Beau. Not Le Beau Le Parfum. There is a pretty big difference
Another fragrance bro, kudos you’ve earned a subbbb
i dont know anything about fragrances and im trying to learn and am still so confused is there any other guides u recommend
falling in cologne rabbithole needa make a nice collection
great collection
mine are : nuit de l`homme le parfum, TF ombré leather and frederic malle musc ravageur .
Dude, loved the video, you've got a new subscriber, and if you really like sweet cologne, you gotta get S-Boy by Draco. It's hands down my favorite cologne I've ever gotten. It's definitely on the pricier side, but I'm always getting complements on it. I've had it for about a year and I've yet to hear anybody say anything negative about it. I'm only writing this much about a cologne because it's truly that good.
i'll check it out for sure! and thank you!
bro you are going places ill see you at 10.000 sub soon
Some more terms: Clone: cheap copy of an expensive fragrance. Flanker: a version of the cologne that's in the same line. A note about spraying: There's a debate on whether you should rub in the cologne after you spray it. Some people say if you do that it ruins the top notes, other's say it doesn't matter. For me I don't do it and just wait for it to dry before putting on clothes. Also, one mistake I learned was to not apply fragrance to the neck itself, but below it. This is because there was one time I was kissing a girl's neck in the club and the next day the taste of her perfume was still in my mouth. It was disgusting.
I bought recently Guerlain lhomme ideal edp and i do agree, it smells so good, I love almond in it. You can smell the quality. If you like sweet fragrances I recommend you JPG Le male parfum, it has pear and vanilla. I love them.
I have 30 something colognes now and the ones I’ll recommend by price.
$$$- Creed aventus, Creed aventus Cologne, and Creed Green Irish tweed
$$-Acqua di gio Profumo(or parfum), ysl y edp,Bleu de Chanel edp and allure xtreme, spicebomb xtreme
$-invictus legend (if you can find it), fierce by Abercrombie, and versace Eros edp (don’t get if you don’t like a sweet cupcake like smell but I got a lot of compliments from girls wearing it)
The best colognes ever are YSL La Nuit de L'Homme and Dior Homme Intense. I'm really lucky to own vintage bottles of both
Where I live, almost no one uses colognes, so whenever someone wearing a cologne comes by, you remember him. I still remember our garbageman from work, because even tho his job is dirty, he smelled really nice.
I would love to have D&G the one in my collection. The most awesome smell 😌
Bro deserve more sub.
CRAFT! POWER! STRENGTH!
The one he called "ultramale blue" XD. That ones is Le Beau by JPG. Its very good!
Thank you this was incredibly helpful
Acqua di gio edt and profondo are the best fresh everyday scents and le male le parfum is good for night and winter
Armani code parfum is if you only need 1 cologne for everything that never gets old. Mass appealing, formal and casual, pleasing, and unique.
Appreciate the tips 🙏🏾
I was so happy that you had versace dreamer and you shit on it a second later :( I get it its quite a odd fragrance, you either love it or hate it. Nice video man. Keep making videos!
this made me laugh 😂 yeah i'm happy it's in my collection but i wouldn't personally wear it haha
