Holy grail could be Coco by Chanel but my ultimate favorite signature scent costs $12 on the discount market, Cabotine Rose by Gres. It's a simple and perfectly pretty transparent floral that was my summer scent for many years until recently when I started exploring middle eastern brands to sample for gift giving. My husband lived in UAE for several years and told me he liked Rasasi and Swiss Arabian. I wish I had known about them earlier, though so far I have mainly indulged in Lataffa. The prices for the quality are so astonishingly low that I have to devote one more year of holidays to them. The icing on the cake is the honest and thoughtful service at Muslim-owned shops.
YSL Babycat was a winner for me. Constant compliments! I just wish they sold it in the US. I’m not even sure if they plan on discontinuing it as of now.
Great choice mate. I have two, discontinued LIDGE for winter, Chanel AHS for summer - i throw in a little ambroxan to the AHS for more sea notes to offset the strong citrus
D&G By Man is my holy grail. Everytime I wear it, it makes me happy. I have been collecting for 15 years and have trird thousands 'own around 600'. I have loads that I absolutely love and rate 10/10, but By Man is just perfection.
Thats mine too after your recommendation! with a spray from further away it even works well in the heat! I had it on just in Rome and was afraid it may have been too heavy but it worked great 😊
Ive just started using Captain Fawcetts "Booze and Baccy".. saw a mate who i hadnt seen in a long time and he saod i smelt like a tavern from he 1800s ... nailed it ... great scent
I recently sprayed Reflection Man on the back of one hand, and Amouage Black Iris on the other. All evening I was back and forth about which I love more. Both are spectacular!
I received a surprisingly positive compliment for Layton Exclusif from my friend’s wife a few weeks ago. For a moment I thought she was going to commit adultery then and there.
I'm a big collector and I have to agree I've got some Bangers to choose from ...and this past winter I'd worn the exclusive and got some unusual but nice compliments from women that wouldn't normally say anything..But with that one oh no doubt
I know this is an old post , I don’t care what others think but I spray 2x Layton Exclusif on my bed sheets before sleep , this thing is addicting . How many sprays do you usually do ?
Kids : Dad, what do you want for your birthday? Dad: maybe a perfume? Kids: sure that should be easy and somewhat affordable, which one? Dad: Amouage reflection 45 Kids: how about Nautica Voyage! ?
I have a small vial of Reflection 45. I appreciate it technically, but theres a note in there that makes me a bit nauseous, and i am a huge iris fragrance fan.
I don't have a holy grail, I'm still going down the rabbit hole. 😅 If I did have to stop, I would say the three favourites are Amouage Jubilation 25, Xerjoff Naxos and Creed Silver Mountain Water (I wanted to say Aventus but SMW still wins somehow). I don't have a signature but if I went on compliments it would be Naxos.
Need your help, im considering Dunhill icon or Khadlaj Shiyaaka silver men which is a dupe of reflection. What would you choose? Are they simmilar in terms ofscent? Neroli smell?
I just bought percival 1 month ago and my dad passed by me and said “if youre getting me something for christmas, it better be the cologne youre wearing” 😂
@@efesakrak4203 hello i own now own, herod, layton, percival, herod lasts long on me like 12+ hours and it loves the cold, in the heat the tobacco is more prominent and in the cold the vanilla is extra cozy Layton lasts the longest on me, in the cold its in everyone’s face and in the heat its sweetly smooth, not to sweet but it leans in the cold so hard 😍 Percival, lasts long in the heat, in the cold eh, in the heat holy moly it can make a fast food restaurant smell like a 5 star beach house barbeque, its so dam strong in a good percival way Think of it as the same scent profile of mont blanc legend edp 🙂 but better
Modern reflection man is weak in my opinion. I had the old batch and the new batches are just not the same, but the 45 is has little more depth and smells more like the vintage i had
Dead serious, me too. Ppl seem shocked that something can smell so good

Amazing Chris, looking forward to get sample of 45 next week 😊 tried it last week at the store and was mind blown 🚀
It’s interesting we must have very similar taste in things. My favourite fragrance is amouage reflection man and i also own a PRX watch😊
Yes, you have excellent taste!
Great choice mate. I have two, discontinued LIDGE for winter, Chanel AHS for summer - i throw in a little ambroxan to the AHS for more sea notes to offset the strong citrus
Creed Aventus Cologne in my tropical climate is just waoh! Complements everywhere!
D&G By Man is my holy grail.

OG Reflection for me. I sampled both and fell in love with more with the og. I like its more fresher and fun fragrance for all season and events.
Thats mine too after your recommendation! with a spray from further away it even works well in the heat! I had it on just in Rome and was afraid it may have been too heavy but it worked great 😊
It doesnt get compliments but its my holy grail/ signature scent the one and only king kouros 💪🏻
Kouros ftw 🙌
Nice fragrance ❤❤❤❤❤
Such a great frag! I sampled it and new from first smell I needed a full bottle!
Ive just started using Captain Fawcetts "Booze and Baccy".. saw a mate who i hadnt seen in a long time and he saod i smelt like a tavern from he 1800s ... nailed it ... great scent
This is my favourite perfume house ❤
For me Le Male Elixir is this kind of scent. Pushes every single one of my buttons.

I knew that before you said it, based on your previous videos. I love this stuff.

My favorite would be fresh spicy,musky with loads of ambroxan
Any recommendations for frags like this, besides sauvage elixir

Amouage 45 year round wear? Is it worth buying?
Naxos and OFG for me, my Amouage black iris is coming in soon and maybe that’ll be up there too 🤞🏾😆

What's the difference with the OG Amouage Reflection ?
Does it have a close clone? That is way too expensive.
Jean paul gaultier le male edt
for me its ysl y edp
My holy grail is Orion from Tiziana Terenzi ❤
If you don't like reflection man, might you like this one?
My very first Reflection Man came today,can't wait to wear it... New Jersey...
It's a feminine leaning fragrance tbh ...
is there a clone. to this madness.

Percival, lasts long in the heat, in the cold eh, in the heat holy moly it can make a fast food restaurant smell like a 5 star beach house barbeque, its so dam strong in a good percival way
Think of it as the same scent profile of mont blanc legend edp 🙂 but better

@@efesakrak4203 4 sprays 7-8 hours, 8 sprays 12 hours, 18 sprays (3 sprays at a time through out the day) All Day, works best when it’s hot af
What about the OG Reflection?
I prefer the original
Dior homme original just does something although it doesn’t has beast mode longevity
Why is Reflection 45 so expensive?!
My holy grail scent is Geurlain Iris Pallida 😍
Why not interlude iris
Too sweet
Promise - Frederic Malle
I prefer beloved
Enigma…💔
How much does it vary from reflection
PDM Herod and Amouage Boundless for me
Ok shiyaka khadlaaj it is
for me its santal royal
How do u rate reflection Man? I have the other one rather 45
Modern reflection man is weak in my opinion. I had the old batch and the new batches are just not the same, but the 45 is has little more depth and smells more like the vintage i had
@@iaido01 next bottle I'll buy will be the 45 one. I just got my Interlude today.
@@LawlessRaafay interlude and interlude 53 is in my top 10 best ever created.
My Holy Grail is the Pure Perfume Absolue SANDALWOOD from Clive
Elysium Pour Homme or Green Irish Tweed
Ganymede.
Not Enigma 😯
It smells amazing but it’s so weak
You sad that Roja Enigma is your favourite fragrance
Mine is interlude 53 and oud for greatness

Love Amouage but this one smells to generic.
