Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 01. 2021
- Welcome back to my channel! In this video I react to & rank some of the most popular niche fragrances for men. I actually bought a bottle of the fragrance I ranked #1 after I filmed this because I loved it that much!
How would you have ranked these fragrances? Let me know what you want to see next - these videos are so much fun and I really enjoy putting them together. I hope you all enjoy!

The fact that she's NOT a fragrance expert makes her the perfect test subject for this experiment.
Thank you Ma'am!
How about arguing that she got bad taste for men’s fragrances? Duh!
@@sherinthomas6852 but taste is subjective and nobody’s opinion is better than someone else’s at the end of the day it’s up to you the individual to decide whether a fragrance is good or not.
@@levissk8boy which is why I won’t be following or watching her anymore . Good luck !
@@levissk8boy guys are here for the drool factor for the most part from reading the comments. If she was an unattractive lady then no one would have given a rats ass to what she says. #facts
@@sherinthomas6852 that’s probably and unfortunately true lol I’m just super into fragrances and I find other people’s opinions or anything related to fragrances interesting/entertaining. All the best. God bless (:
We need more girls like Courtney. No tattoos or piercing, no truck driver behaviour! Just elegant femininity. Girls should watch this channel more than men.
Ahh thank you so much! 🥰 I’m so glad that part of me is easy to see. I hope to have a female following at some point too!
Are you talking about curly fragrance????
@@CourtneyRyan yes, decency is something majority lacks. Tattoos, wacky dress, weany talking style, rapper style digusting language,... However there are some who are good too in perfume community...I'm Noelle, an girl from Australia...
@@ScientificallyExplained you are a very judgmental person
@@heatbreeze2735 judging is the best policy :p
Hey, you didnt do my AXE body spray. You know the one where in the commercial the guy gets 3 women. lol
🤣😂😂
I used a case of Axe once and was chased by a herd of baboons.
@@shrapnel77 Lol 🤣
You should definitely turn this into a series and maybe categorise each video. Eg: Ranking popular cheap fragrances, designer fragrances, teenager fragrances etc you get the idea. Loving the content.
That’s a good idea. Thank you! 🥰
The $750 one she turned up her nose to immediately, and the $95 one almost had her in the throws of passion. Wonder which one her viewers will be buying.
i actually purchased a little sample of it after watching the video out of curiosity. i am not into sweet fragrances at all but if i was i would absolutely love it
@@FadeToBlack888 how was the sample my friend?
Gotta be careful. Performance on the cheaper ones won't be great. There's a reason the pricey ones are pricey and it has a lot more to do with its performance than how good it smells.
Which one is $750?!
Love a girl with cheap tastes
“The Rolex Submariner of fragrances.” Well said, Teddy (if that was your analogy).
Yeah and I don’t like submariner and I don’t like creed, I bought the sample but couldn’t wear it, not my thing
I said earlier it's like the Breaking Bad of fragrances. It's hyped up to the hilt.
First, Aventus does seems to be a more men pleaser. I have multiple bottles (2019 and 2020 batches) and my wife didn't like it at first, but its now one of her favorites. I would recommend to anyone here to try Mont Blanc Explorer which is the cheaper designer inspired Aventus clone. I own Layton and like alot of people I get a Vicks vapor rub type feel with the opening, but not in a bad way, I really love it. Baccarat Rouge 540 smells like cotton candy, and again I would recommend Mancera Instant Crush for a cheaper alternative of the same DNA. Amouage is very hit or miss for me, as most have a very animalic or strong opening that I dont like, but some dry down very nicely, one example being Lyric man which is Rose heavy.
I loved that you chose the cheapest one! lol Definitely makes my life easier there. Thanks for the insight as always, Courtney!
She did better than most fragrance experts, get an immediate spray and one an hour in advance !!! Idk why “fragrance experts” don’t do that !! She did well
She is also an expert. Just watch how she moves from one paper to the other. This is not her first time. And she knows what gourmont fragrance is. A beginner has no idea and no comparison at all.
Everyone will be to running to buy Saint Julep now... including myself lol
I just did too !
It’s so good 😍
Same bro!!
And it's not nearly as expensive as the others!
that an aqua di gio both are amazing.
Teddy went crazy Niche this time hahaha
Hahaha niche edition!! 😂👏🏼
Your voice is so gentle and your analysis on fragrances are very articulate and informative . Would love to see more of these!
Watches and fragrances... Teddy is a man of culture.
Edit: He needs to talk more about fragrances, perhaps in a separate channel? Idk
Creed Aventus---- "It's the Rolex Submariner of fragrances" Haha I love you Teddy
I feel this is one of the best perfume reviews I have watched. I can relate to how she perceives each scent.
Disclaimer: the reviewer was hungry prior to shooting. 😂
😂👏🏼
I have never owned a bottle of cologne but that endorsement of Imaginary Authors was all I needed lol
I had no idea fragrance was so important. Glad we have Courtney looking out for us!
After I filmed I bought the full bottle for myself 😂 it’s so good! thanks for watching 👏🏼
never owned a bottle of cologne.... bro...
Fair warning: the performance on Saint Julep is absolutely terrible! :(
Very unfortunate! >
@@Schatje79 ugh oh no! I’ve heard this too. I will enjoy it for however long it lasts on me regardless I guess 😂
Fragrance can smell different from person to person. The season, occasion, time of the day, age and personality are important to select the right fragrance.
I can’t believe you did another video like that! Amazing! Congratulations. This is the best way to test scents
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed ☺️
Amouage Interlude man is my all time favourite, I know women don't like it very often but I don't wear fragrances for that reason anyway. Nice list!
Nice video, Courtney! Based on my experience wearing some fragrances, a smell on the paper may smell DIFFERENTLY on skin. In a future video, if Teddy is willing to wear 7 different fragrances a week and you can compare "Paper" smell and skin smell for the video (maybe a new topic for the channel).
Oooh that’s a good idea! I was just trying to think of a way I could smell it on the skin in addition to the paper because I know it can be different! thank you ☺️
Great video. First, I've never smelled Saint Julep, but now I want to! Next, as a guy I'd never wear BR 540 Extrait, but it is the BEST scent I've ever smelled. There's a very good, inexpensive clone called Haramain Amber Oud Rouge. I spray my covid masks with it so I can smell it throughout the day. I just can't bring myself to spend full price on a bottle that I don't wear myself.
And then there's Layton. It's my #1 favorite fragrance for a guy. No question. Just fantastic. I bought 2 bottles since I got such a great price on them ($125 each for 2 tester bottles). Lastly, Aventus is absolutely overhyped. The people who love it REALLLLLLY love it, and then there's the rest of us who don't understand all the fuss. You're far better off saving your money and buying a $30 bottle of Club Nuit Intense Man since it's a very close clone of the original. I think I'm going to go order some Saint Julep samples now.
Interlude is one of the biggest love or hate fragances, and i think it depends much on the person that wears it.
On my skin just doesn't smell good, but in other people's skin leaves an AMAZING scent trail.
From that fragance house i recommend you to try Reflection man if you can. I think you will like it a lot.
Nice video as always! Cheers from Chile.
That makes sense! I’ll have to try the one you recommended. Thank you!
your frag videos are always so impressive. your nose is pretty spot on with the notes, especially considering most youtubers need to use fragrantica to determine the notes they are smelling. imaginary authors is a tough frag to wear. the house is always more artsy than functional for every day wear. aventus is funny because i think men love it more than women, although i have received compliments from women when i wear it. interlude and mfk br 540 extrait are A+
That is refreshing to hear! It’s very difficult to recognize notes when you have no clue what you’re smelling 😂 I can definitely see what you’re saying about imaginary authors. I bought the full bottle so updates to come! 👏🏼 thanks for the comment!
I have not been looking for men’s fragrances much lately and I’ve never heard of these brands of fragrances here in Australia. I will have to search online to find out if these brands are available here in Australia. When I do think about buying men’s fragrances, I’ll smell the fragrance and do a skin test to make sure that my skin isn’t allergic to to any of the ingredients used in the fragrance. I’ve enjoyed the three videos that you’ve done on men’s fragrances. Thank you Courtney for doing these videos.
Love your channel & reviews. Your list is somewhat antiquated as of this year. Here’s my short list of highly desirable niche fragrances:
Reflection 45 - Amouage
Pikovaya Dama - Xerjoff
Oud for Greatness - Initio
Side Effect - Initio
Basso - Sospiro
1861 Naxos - Xerjoff
Petit Matin - Maison Francis Kurkdjian
Marseille - Comma de Garcons
I've never bought a cologne so quick in my life 😂
DJ Khalid: another one
Courtney: another fragrance
😂😂👏🏼
wow thats the worst impression ive ever seen
@@100ksubscribersandipostvid5 😂 yeah,
I love colognes!! 🥰😊 especially ones that get compliments
I haven't smelled some of these but Parfums De Marly Layton is my all time favorite niche fragrance and I am very interested in trying the Imaginary Authors fragrance. Thanks for sharing your opinion.
Layton is my all time favorite! Expensive but worth it!!
Same here. Although you can find dependable sellers who get tester bottles or others at huge discounted prices. I joined a Facebook group of fans of Parfums de Marly and bought a Layton tester for $125 last spring. When it turned out to be legit (I was worried a little because of the great price), I went ahead and bought a second!
NIICCE Court, that’s what I’m talking about.Not snobby or anything,but for a cat who usually rocks niche frags, I clicked immediately 😊😊 Also for somebody who says she’s not a expert in fragrances,you certainly have a wonderful nose and imagination.On point.I respect your Creed Aventus opinion regardless,but just want to point out,it’s a known fact Creed is not a good test strip fragrance house,you have to smell that on skin And give the dry down a chance.It’s magical.Aventus is arguably my most complimented frag of all time.One time six wears in a row,I got 4 plus compliments each wear.Crazy attention.Especially the old formulation.One of the best Freshie houses in the game.Cool picks.When it came to Amouage,wish Teddy gave you reflection man or jubilation 25.Maybe even Beloved man,or Dia man.Interlude man is definitely not mass appealing.It’s a very popular fragrance but for people who have that acquired taste for frankincense Oud Middle Eastern flavor etc. etc. Unless he was just trying to give you the Niche experience and gave you the heavy hitter haha 😁 Yes Layton is a masterpiece.Since you love sweet Gourmands,please explore that house when you get a chance.Some of the best for that concept.Ohh man,Imaginary authors is such a solid house.American brand too :) I haven’t smelled this one though.Thanks for the heads up, sounds amazing!Baccarat Rouge 540 EDP or Extrait all day 😎😎 straight up masterpiece!Get’s me absurd compliments.Cool choice with the Floris,that and Santal one of my favs from the house. Like you said that Clive Christian it’s pretty good,but not my fav.They got some cool ones but don’t really care for the house.If you love Gourmands and haven’t already, if you ever get a chance,please check out Oud Satin Mood by the makers of Baccarat..MFK.Feve Delicieuse by Dior’s privee line.Black Phantom Love don’t be shy by and intoxicated by Kilian Paris.Dries Van Noten from Frederic Malle(always reminds me of my trips to Paris)Montale’s intense café Honey Aoud Chocolate Greedy & Arabians Tonka.Mancera’s Roses Vanille.Nishane’s Ani.Amouage’s Love Tuberose.House of Oud’s What about pop.Serge Lutens Un Bois Vanille... and many many more. Sorry if that was overwhelming just wanted to throw some out there ha ha.All stunners.Excellent video as always Court.Keep up the great work.So happy for you to see your sub count rising.MUCH deserved 😊 Much love/Peace
Can you do one for lower end colognes. For those who can’t afford $100-750 bottles. Or just don’t want to spend that much money. Great video as always!
Hey Courtney, I recently stumbled upon your channel and I love it!!! Could you possibly do a video on date ideas during covid? Keep up the good work 😄
I loved your endorsement for Saint Julep! Definitely going to give it a try; sounds like a great Summer scent. Great video, thanks for sharing Courtney 👏🏻 😀
It’s a lovely fragrance! Let me know what you think if you try it out. Thanks for watching 🥰
@@CourtneyRyan I just ordered the 14ml travel size, looking forward to trying it out 💥 Thanks again for the recommendation 👍
Just got the Saint Julep....Love it......👍👍
@@paullucas7053 isn’t it amazing! Yay! I’m so glad you love it
Good job on this video!
I would love to see another designer fragrance video if possible :D
Absolutely! ❤️
Chanel Bleu is fantastic; I often get compliments!!
I have about seventy-five fragrances and most are 10 ml samples.
I do not tell my lady what fragrance I'm wearing and there are a couple that she always enjoys.
*Bvlgari - Aqua Amara*
*Chanel - Allure Homme Edition Blanche*
*Dolce & Gabbana - Pour Homme*
*Maison Margiela - Replica by the Fireplace*
Gentlemen -- I did the work so you don't have too.
I'd love to see her react to either aspen or green irish tweed... I really like this series
More videos like this it was awesome!💯👏
Great video. Really liked the format!
Layton and BR 540 E are 2 of my faves and both beautiful. Instead of interlude try reflection by amouage. My wife’s favorite of my collection! For colder weather cozy gourmand try Ani by Nishane. A lovely vanilla frag.
Love your varied facial expressions when you encounter scents you really like, compared to the ones you don't - priceless! 😆
Best fragrance video on the internet! Unbiased, clarifying, just great!
Sis just when I'm thinking about buying this for me this video pops out 🙌🙌🙌🙌😄🤣🤣🤣 love yu ❤️
Yay another fragrance video! Also Courtney I love your hair dark
Thank you! ❤️
I LOVE my Amber Oud by Al Harramain and Hombre Leather by Tom Ford! I've definitely received compliments by strangers on both of those! A lot of people rave about Creed Aventus, but I personally did not care for it that much. Courtney, your assistant should give you more of the Tom Ford's. Those are so unique they just blow away almost everything else!
Every man should have a signature fragrance. It's something that might take a while to figure out and develop. Personally I only wear Tom Ford. Love Tobaco Vanille and Noir de Noir.
I'm going to have to find some samples of these or something. Thanks Courtney!
I got all my samples from lucky scents and they were pretty reasonably priced! Highly recommend!
@@CourtneyRyan Thanks, I've always wondered where to get good samples.
Your voice is so calming
Layton is a upscale version of Versace Eros and Boss Bottled Intense EDP, you spray them side by side, and you will not be able to tell difference after 30 minutes.
I saw the first version of this , as soon as this annoying pandemic and lockdown are over I'll see what I can find from the two posts, Courtney , would you say your female friends would agree with your choices.. in general ?
I think they definitely would! Though I think a lot of my friends love floral scents so they may have liked Clive Christian more than I did!
Saint Julep has no performance at all! It doesn’t last or project like at all! Ur right though it’s a beautiful fragrance! BR540 and Layton are my current favs, great video Courtney!
That’s what I’ve heard! 😞 it is beautiful though I’m excited to wear it haha I love BR540 and Layton.. they are next on my list to buy 😍 thanks Tim!
I would love to see your reactions on Tom Ford Private Blends 👏🏻
Yesss I need to get my hands on those!
Tom Ford’s Fucking Fabulous smells great too. But so expensive
Aventus is a completely different fragrance now than it was 3 years ago. And the one 3 years ago is completely different from 7 years ago lol.
In 2019+ Creed has reduced the woody/smokyness to the point where it is almost identical to Mont Blanc Explorer. The uniqueness is just gone.
This is the main dilemma with fragrances for a lot of guys.
Most girls tend to love the sweet fragrances more.
I however wouldn't like to smell like cinnamon toast, much prefer masculine scents.
So do we buy a fragrance to get compliments from girls, or to smell good four our own sake? 😀
Hey Courtney you should do a video with Jeremy Fragrance and in that video you should do a top ten fragrances for all seasons all occasions.
It’s crazy because I wanted to buy The Creed Cologne to see what the hype was all about. Lol. But now I’m second guessing myself. My best colognes are Dior Sauvage, Chanel bleu and Giorgio Armani Acqua di gio. You will love these colognes. 😊
I would buy a sample before committing. I was expecting it to be way better, though I still need to smell it on a person and not just a paper stick 😂
I have been hearing about Creed Aventus for years but never had the chance to smell it. A month ago, I was in a store that had it and offered samples so I tried some. I was shocked because it was so much different than I was expecting it to be. It was good, but not nearly as good as I was expecting considering all the hype it gets. However, the Creed Green Irish Tweed was incredible. I kept the sample stick and was just randomly smelling it for like 5 days until it wore off because it was so good. Definitely get a sample or go to a store that gives samples before buying, I would have been so upset if i bought Aventus blindly with how expensive it is and the fact that the Green Irish Tweed was so much better in my opinion.
I like the blind reactions and the ranking system. So far she picked the cheapest ones in each video. Now take the top 2-3 from each video and see how they rank against each other
To bad we don't have smell o vision. Interesting video presentation.
Thanks Courtney- you across so genuine and sincere and down to earth.Best wishes
These are so fun! Love hearing a woman's opinion on men's fragrances.
OMG! The suspense! Loved the video. 😄
“I think it’s (Aventus) is over hyped a little bit.”
Exactly.
Yes! This is the video I have been waiting for. Sadly I have the over-hyped Creed Aventus and agree that it doesn’t live up to the hype or price. I still like it but not without reservations. Keep up the great vids Courtney! I still say you need to hire a better assistant. 😂
Haha glad I’m not alone in that thought! Thank you 🥰
Currently only own Layton but next is Herod and then the MFK 540, can’t go wrong😍
Just a pro tip, when you get samples it's better if you buy the spray samples. The atomizer does a better job of bringing out the notes in the fragrance than a splash vial. The fragrance develops better when it's sprayed.
For sure - my assistant learned the hard way 😂 will only be buying spray samples going forward but thank you for the tip! I wish I knew sooner! Haha
@@CourtneyRyan One more thing, stay clear from 1 ml samples, these are splash. Tell Teddy to only order 2 mL samples or higher, these are always going to be spray samples. I know it an can get expensive, so I recommend sticking with the 2 mL. Take care!
@@emiliov968 oh wow good to know! Thanks for the help ☺️
The thing is that in order to get the correct idea how the fragrances smell in real life, they should not be smelt of the tester strip but rather indirectly of your skin by catching whiffs. In most cases there´s a huge difference how these smell on paper vs on skin vs in the air (how everybody else around percieves you). That´s why e.g. Aventus smells just OK directly on skin, but in the air it leaves a beautifull trail.
And what about the Interlude Man? As a non smoker I used to hate incese and true ashy tobacco notes - I find them dirty (quite the opposite of the perfume´s purpose in my eyes). However I started really boldly with Kolmaz Arabi Cana which smells ashy, leathery + slightly fuity ....smells literally like those yellow fingers of an old smoker + ash tray + little bit of dried fruits. I hated it but year later I started to find it interresting and can´t stop smelling it occasionally. Compared to this the Interlude Man smells like a real beauty :)
I love Aqua di Palma Colonia even if it’s a bit very old school and not very long lasting. I’d be interested to see how it fares in one of your tests.
Love your vids BTW - always considerate and often witty. You have a good heart!
You have an expert nose! Amazing. Saint Julep is out of this world, I am so glad I came across this video; because I smelled it the other day and I was in shock of how good it was, and I never got the name...now I know. Thanks.
If you like sweet edible smells, do another video but with all gourmand fragrances
love your reaction and your descriptions were very accurate
Make a video about men's belts please!
Glad to see Courtney confirm my opinion of Interlude Man. Total scrubber.
This is a great prospective from a woman. Most men reviewing Creed Aventus love it and I like/own it. We wear it to appeal to women so it's great to hear your point of view. And the most reasonable fragrance is the one you enjoyed the most. This is so subjective, but if I knew the woman that I was attracted to loved a fragrance, I would totally wear it! Trial and error.
Great to hear! I think you’re absolutely right. Lucky for all of you that I liked the $95 fragrance more than the $750 Clive Christian! 😂
Great video. First time on your channel. Subbed, and I’m definitely watching more. I love the concept of blind smelling without seeing the bottle and stack ranking them.
Thank you so much! Happy to have you here 😊
If you’re doing another niche fragrance video, try Parfums de Marley Herod, Maison Francis Kurkdjian Grand Soir, Tom Ford Oud Wood, Jovoy Paris Psychedelique, Roja Elysium, tiziana terenzi laudano Nero, initio oud for greatness. All of those are very popular.
Unfortunately, mine isn't here. As it turns out, Drakkar Noir is the only cologne I have found that doesn't break me out in an allergic reaction. I'd like to have seen how it ranks.
they hype Aventus because it's amazing!
In the exact second Interlude appeared i laughed and thought: "How daring Teddy was to make Courtney smell the Blue Beast with that animalic notes"
😂😂 Blue beast is so accurate lol
You should try Killian fragrances if you like gourmand!! "Love don't Be Shy" is so Good (Marshmallows). A lot of people like "Black Phantom" as well (Chocolate). Nice vid.
I loved your interlude description.. lol. You were right on.
😂👏🏼 hippie store!!
Brilliant work Courtney!
Thank you! ❤️
I would say these are definitely more niche than popular - it'd be great to see you react to some designer ones like sauvage, eros, d&g light blue, prada l'homme, invictus, etc.
100% - this is definitely the niche edition 😂 I reacted to those in a past fragrance video so go check it out!
Don't have any. I work at Lowe's so there's not a lot of perfumy (?) guys there. There might be a bottle of old spice around here somewhere
Courtney with another killer video gentlemen! Let's go!
Thank you! ❤️
Great content, Courtney. I like you're down to earth and real. Would you and Teddy be able to compare the other top-rated colognes from your previous cologne videos? Thanks
Thank you so much! I’ll definitely be doing more fragrance videos in the future and that’s a good idea for one! 👏🏼
Great list. Much higher end frags than other video I seen. $$$ is definitely not always better when it comes to cologne or perfume. I've got a $20 bottle that smells like a lemon drop/lemon cello martini, unique gets me compliments often.
I imagine saint julep will be sold out now!!! Lol 😂
Hey Courtney, I recommend testing out Ambre Nuit from Christian Dior for your next fragrance video and giving us your opinion. It’s a unisex fragrance however in my opinion it’s more on the masculine side.
Your doing great Courtney!!! Keep up the great work. 👌🏻
Just subscribed. Love your content.
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you Courtney for your thoughts on creed aventus! The drydown is where its at! 😁👍fully respect your opinion. Dolce and gabbana light blue intense is my signature scent as of right now. Whats yours? And teddys?
I need to smell the drydown on a human instead of a piece of paper for sure 😂 Teddy wears something different pretty much everyday but I’ve been wearing mostly Dior hypnotic poison!
@@CourtneyRyan yess! Youre right give it a try ! Usually if you smell it when he walks passed you and get a whiff, thats where the magic is at. Such a sexy smell, the opening smells very fruity zesty. Try aventus for her, see if you like it. Take care and God bless!
Hi Courtney ,Creed aventus is the winner. Wich one is your favorite?
I used Hai Karate back in the day...I was a legend then. Now it's Aqua Velvet.
Yo thanks Courtney for this i needed this 💯
❤️ my pleasure!!
Great video. I know all of them, except Floris. Thank you.
Hey! I love the way u explain in detailed ❤ by the way I adore people like you... 😚
Thank you! ❤️❤️
@@CourtneyRyan hey, why can't we catch up in Instagram
It would be interesting to see where my 'go to' fragrance stacks up. Cartier Declaration EDT.
Love this type of video.
Aventus did well for someone who prefers sweet fragrances. I find women compliment the sweeter fragrances more but they also make me feel sick wearing the sweet smell throughout the day. Aventus Cologne is the unisex version which isn't as harsh on the pineapple and ladies seem to prefer if they have the sweeter nose. Guys want to smell good and get the compliments but also not smell like a candy shop, can be tough getting that balance. Great review!
That totally makes sense! I definitely liked it, I was just expecting more from it I guess 😂 the top 4 were all sweet but definitely not in a way that would be nauseating. Thanks for watching!!
I agree with that. I like sweet fragrance and I like fresh fragrance but sometimes you can have enough of all that sweetness then aventus is so nice to wear because it just different and so nice in the air
Can you round up the other 1st and 2nd place fragrances you have done and rank those from least to most favorite? I bought Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male based on one of your first videos.
