  • We are back again with another blind reaction video. We picked out 7 popular niche fragrances for our guests to react to. Each guest was given 2 test strips for each fragrance. The 1st strip is sprayed on 10-30 seconds before, and the 2nd strip was sprayed an hour before each guest sat down to give it a chance to dry down. After a quick break, they then will go back and smell them all again to decide what is their favorite and least favorite. We hope you enjoy it!

      There's simply no way this many popular fragrances can have this many bad reactions. 95% of fragrances I smell are reasonably pleasant and at worst "basic". It's the rare one that is offensive.

    I feel like test strips never give an accurate representation of the fragrance. I've tried a lot that smell way better on skin. Also, some of the fragrance are really harsh when you have your nose right up against the application site. They tend to smell a lot better when coming off the person in the air.

    • @GrowingDownUnder
      @GrowingDownUnder Před 2 lety +6

      I agree test strips are deceiving, often you only smell the top notes with test strips it traps the top note because the paper they use is super absorbent but in reality you aren't wearing this paper. When you spray fragrance on skin and even often clothes that top note doesn't get trapped it fades away after a short amount of time. You may think clothes are really absorbent, some clothes are but generally test strips are still more absorbent and they hold the fragrance top notes better than clothes. That's why you can't just use any type of paper for test strips, the test strips are special paper that's more absorbent

      I tried Spicebomb Extreme several times on a tests stripe and just didn't get the hype-not until I tried it on skin! But if you don`t like a fragrance of a stripe you don't have the urge to try it on skin and potentially smell like something you don't like the whole day.

    People are hating on the reviewers like usual, but honestly I can see where they would get hints of those random notes they just don't know how to describe. Layton, the vicks smell can come off chemically (bug spray if you will). Tobacco Vanille, the dirty chocolate under your seat makes sense with the tobacco + sweet vanilla combo.
    They're niche fragrances for a reason, they aren't supposed to mass please. There's a reason Cedrat Boise did so well, because it's just a generic easy to like citrus/woody combo.

    I think these reviews are realistic to what people would say about them if they didn’t know what they were at all.
    Part of owning many niche and designer fragrances is KNOWING what you have and knowing the brand, ie the package, aesthetic, unboxing, all of that goes into your assumptions on the fragrance. If you entered into every single fragrance without knowing what the scent is, or what brand it was, it’ll be much easier to draw your true opinion bc you aren’t influenced on your opinions of the brand.

      @@chilldude3333 There are many studies that show the importance of packaging, and it’s not just for fragrance. Why do you think people associate non-name brand products with lesser quality? Take cereal for example, if you seen ‘Honey Nut Cheerios’ sitting next to the great value version ‘Honey Nut O’s’ you’d automatically assume that honey nut Cheerios had a different or possibly better taste based on the packaging alone. Your perception would be different and therefor your experience throughout testing the product would be different as well.
      Just because you’ve never tried something in such way doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
      It’s actually the difference between knowledge vs Inference. One involves actually testing and deciding for yourself and the other is a simple assumption based off very little knowledge of what you are discussing.

      I just smelled that fragrance for the first time, and I also was taken aback by that description. I smelled it off of a tester strip, and I noticed that it reminded me of Halls cough drops in the opening and then it started to have a peppery smell in the early dry down. I didn't get to smell it in the full dry down because the strip got contaminated by another PDM fragrance, Pegasus. I would've asked the young lady at the counter to spray it again, but I didn't want to be a bother. Ultimately, I might go back and try it on my skin (I couldn't do so at that time because I was already wearing a good amount of Invictus Victory). That being said, I also didn't notice any "outdoorsy, woodsy, citrus" with Layton.

The drydown smells like CK Euphoria Men, I swear to god it does. It's ironic because they have the same elements, ie patchouli, cedar, leather, woodsy, etc. I still would give the nod to Mont Blanc Explorer over this. But that's just my 2 cents :D

    These reactions are going over so many people's heads, it's shocking.

These are what the REAL, everyday people think you smell like when you walk by them in a mall, supermarket, or workplace. It should be eye opening - but instead, you buckle down on your stance and shun everything they say. Way to be open-minded. 😂

      Thank you! I'm just starting this hobby and so many reactions are turning me off from being a part of this community, but your reaction is refreshing. It seems most commenters want an echo chamber of fragheads who will reinforce their opinion, rather than take it on the chin that not everyone likes the same things. Only a small percentage of people have developed their noses to enjoy niche fragrances, so idk why it comes as a surprise that many of these colognes weren't loved. Imagine if a group of foodies, who enjoy exotic cultural dishes, got mad that blind testers of those foods were gagging since their taste buds weren't acclimated to certain flavor profiles or hot spices. Just like palates vary wildly, so do scent preferences. In fact, most of our sensory of flavor stems from smell. So it boggles my mind that despite the general sentiment that it's acceptable not to like the same foods, the reactions here can't apply that same logic to scent.

    The girl at the end: "No. 6 is TERRIBLE...I hate it...this is my least favorite...by far!" I felt that😅😅. I like these types of videos. Keep them coming!

    Another great reaction vid! Understanding that paper doesn't do some fragrances justice, I totally get how using tester strips allows for the process to be consistently and easily replicable and how that makes it a better, more scientific approach than skin (uncontrolled variable). But maybe it would be helpful to suggest that they don't put their nose directly to the tester strip, for the obvious concentration of chemicals that can give an inaccurate impression of the smell.
    Or, at the very least, instruct to also waft the strip (probably more for recently sprayed ones) before they decide to put their nose to it. Maybe that'll help ~shrugs~

    Your team is freaking hilarious, thoroughly enjoyed the video. I was on the fence with Layton and I’m STILL on the fence, ugh!

    Layton is considered to be one of the best but didn’t even make it on the favorites list. 😂 👍🏻

      @@eternalbattle1438 Thats exactly what I thought. The blond girl with the leather jacket is the type that would go with her shoes on your sofa or clean bed and probably don’t even own a perfume.
