    Interesting! I like the idea for the video. Nice picks. Dior Homme 2020 is a pretty solid fragrance, in my opinion. It gets the job done, lasts 9 hours and ladies love it. Though, it is closer to Escentric Molecule than to Dior Homme line, I still like it. I think that Dior should have made this as a completely new fragrance, not in the Dior Homme line.

    Beau de Jour is an absolute beast performer. I oversprayed first time I wore it and my wife could smell it projecting all day so lesson learnt, only a couple of sprays.

    • @The_Big_Smoochie
      @The_Big_Smoochie Před 4 lety

      Yeah, I live in Louisiana and in this heat, 2 sprays is definitely enough. Only downside for me is that I go asnosmic to this scent so I definitely have the urge to spray more, which is a bad idea.

    I have one (slightly) related question :-
    The opening of Explorer is my favourite scent opening ever but it changes quickly and the fragrance isn't the best on performance.
    Is there a fragrance out there that has that 'opening' scent but linear, right through and with at least reasonable performance..?

    Easy Choices for me
    1. Pasha de cartier easy win. I love this one real different. (Sauvage parfum is just meh. I'd wear any of the other versions first even the cool spray)
    2. Guerlain L'homme Ideal extreme easy win. Only got decant but I like it (Strongly with you intensely still to sweet and synthetic not terrible but not for.me)
    3. Moschino Toy Boy is slightly better but I do not like GA Profundo at all so easy choice. TB still to unisex for me.
    4. Armani Code Absolu easy easy win. Dior homme 2020 is okay just very unremarkable. No distinct character at all. Pleasant but forgettable as well.
    5. Mont Blanc Explorer easy win for me so easy to wear and great for price. I prefer the opening of this to Aventus sometimes though Aventus is much higher quality. TF Beau De Jour I just do not like. Only had a sample so only wore it a couple times. I hated it with my skin and zero way I was going to pay that price for it.

Formal casual work date whatever there’s 1000 options that are 1000 times better than those 2.
